507: Galaxy Martial Arts

In the Qiankun Great World, the River of Time surged endlessly.

Two million years had passed, and this world had long since transformed.

Xu Qing's Dao thought swept across the vast Star Domain, and he saw that the forces established by the Xu Clan had spread throughout the major ancient stars.

Some branch families established Cultivation Dynasties that spanned Star Domains, their clan emblems illuminating thousands of star systems; some lived in seclusion in the mountains, becoming ordinary Cultivators who passed down their knowledge through farming and scholarship; and even more branch families turned against each other over resources, fighting for tens of thousands of years, eventually both declining into the dust of history.

On the shores of the East Sea, a collateral branch of the Xu Clan was holding an ancestral worship ceremony.

The white-haired Old Ancestor trembled as he unfolded the yellowed clan genealogy, which recorded the legend of the Heaven-opening Old Ancestor from 2.4 million years ago.

The young disciples knelt in the ancestral hall, unaware that the progenitor they were bowing to was currently watching them with his Dao thought.

"The 1,896th generation..."

Xu Qing sighed softly.

The Origin belonging to him in the Bloodline of these clan members had long since diluted like smoke, and even the Karma connection between him and those from the direct Bloodline was as faint as a wisp.

Only those disciples who had achieved a Breakthrough to the Dao Lord Realm could vaguely sense the towering figure at the source of their Bloodline.

Two million years had passed, and the Qiankun Great World was no longer what it once was.

The Qiankun Continent was vast and boundless!

This ancient continent, suspended in the center of the world, had now expanded to an immeasurable extent.

At the edge of the continent, Chaos Qi cascaded like a waterfall, devouring the Void Realm and evolving new territories every moment.

Mountain ranges wound like Dragon spines, rivers surged like silver sashes, and billions of native ethnic groups thrived here, with countless races rising and falling.

To enter here, one must first be an Immortal Overlord or above, and be recognized by the Lords of the Ten Supreme Stars, before they can Cultivate here.

Outside the continent, the Universe's pattern had undergone earth-shattering changes!

The former Ten Supreme Stars had now transformed into the Ten Supreme Star Domains, each governing billions of stars, with star systems like sand and civilizations shining brightly.

In the center of the Star Domains, ten ancient and eternal Ancestral Stars hung high, swallowing Chaos, suppressing the Myriad Daos, and evolving independent Cultivation civilizations.

And those ordinary ancient stars that were once in the fourth ring had long since evolved from planets into gigantic stars, each pulling dozens, or even hundreds, of planets, forming complete stellar systems.

Life multiplied on these stars; some followed the path of technology, some Cultivated the Dao of the Divine Soul, and some even attempted to Breakthrough the stellar barrier to explore the wider Universe.

The Heavenly Dao revolved, and all spirits competed!

Xu Qing's Dao thought swept across this vast world, his eyes showing neither joy nor sorrow.

Two million years, for Mortals, was a distant River of Time, but for a true Great World, it was just the beginning.

"Om––"

Suddenly, he felt something and his gaze fell upon a certain ancient star in the Xuan Huang Star Domain.

That was a powerful nation.

At this moment, hundreds of millions of miles of mountains and rivers trembled, and countless beings knelt on the ground, looking up at the majestic altar in the center of the sky.

The altar was entirely cast from Chaos divine gold, its surface inscribed with ancient power Dao divine patterns, and at this moment, it was emitting a golden divine light that pierced through the Star Domain.

"Ritual––!"

Several Dao Lord Perfection powerhouses stood at the Peak of the altar, their voices like thunder, spreading throughout the ancient star.

They wore Xuan Huang sacrificial robes, every fold flowing with the rhythm of the Great Dao, and the power Dao mark on their foreheads resonated with the altar.

"Boom––"

Billions of beings simultaneously prostrated themselves, and the devout chanting converged into a vast river, soaring into the sky.

Farmers put down their hoes, Martial Artists put away their Magic Treasures, and even the beasts in the mountains and fields prostrated themselves, roaring softly towards the altar.

"We, respectfully invite the Xuan Huang Heavenly Dao––"

In the center of the altar, a brilliant pillar of light pierced through heaven and earth.

The Void Realm cracked open, and a pair of eyes that seemed capable of suppressing all heavens slowly emerged.

Those eyes contained the purest power Dao Law, and every gaze that fell caused mountains and rivers to reshape and vegetation to grow wildly.

"The Heavenly Dao has manifested!" Some people had tears in their eyes.

"May the Heavenly Dao bestow blessings!" Countless people prayed loudly.

The Power Of Faith rolled back like a galaxy, pouring into that pair of eyes.

The Xuan Huang Heavenly Dao slightly closed, as if digesting this piety.

A moment later––

"Om!"

Several golden pillars of light descended from the sky, enveloping the Dao Lord Perfection Cultivators on the altar.

Their aura surged, and the sound of breaking shackles came from within their bodies, instantly breaking through the Dao Lord shackles and stepping into the half-step Dao Lord Realm!

And the billions of beings below also received gifts.

The elders' white hair turned black, the sick were cured of their chronic illnesses, Cultivators' Dao cultivation advanced, and even the rice ears in the fields suddenly became plump, and Spirit Medicine in the mountains and forests matured one after another.

Xu Qing stood outside the world, looking at that pair of eyes and nodding slightly.

The owner of those eyes was none other than the Dominator of the Xuan Huang Star Domain, the sacred being of power born from the Law of power, who controlled the power Dao Supreme Star on behalf of Xu Qing––True Lord Xuan Huang.

Now, True Lord Xuan Huang had cut off a Dao thought, maintaining balance as the Heavenly Dao.

All this Power Of Faith ultimately transformed into nourishment for the Qiankun Great World.

Over these two million years, the Qiankun Great World's earth-shattering changes were largely due to these Innate sacred beings, who cut off a Dao thought and became a Heavenly Dao, helping Xu Qing manage and govern the territory.

In the Qiankun Great World, on a vast star.

Two million years had passed, and this newborn star, once enlightened by Xu Qing, was no longer what it once was.

The small river valley tribe of yesteryear had now transformed into the Tianhe Divine Dynasty, spanning Star Domains, governing billions of territories, with countless powerhouses under its command, and its Martial Dao civilization shining brightly.

And in the center of this star, deep within the Divine Dynasty's Forbidden Ground––forty-nine towering stone pillars stood majestically, each inscribed with different ancient patterns, recording the evolution of the Martial Dao.

This was where the river valley tribe offered sacrifices to heaven back then.

On the first stone pillar, the blurred human figure, seated high on the clouds and overlooking the earth, was still clearly visible.

That was the image of "Heaven" carved by the earliest tribal ancestors two million years ago.

"The records left by the Old Ancestor are indeed correct..."

An elder wearing a star-patterned Martial robe stood before the stone pillar, his eyes filled with reverence.

He was the current Pavilion Master of the Tianhe Divine Dynasty's Martial God Pavilion, his Cultivation having reached the Peak of the Martial God Realm, comparable to the Emperor Realm, yet before this stone pillar, he still felt as small as an ant.

"These forty-nine stone pillars correspond to the number of the Heavenly Dao. If I can comprehend this last step, this old man will be able to carve the fiftieth stone pillar for the beings of the Tianhe Star..."

He muttered to himself.

Suddenly, he seemed to sense something and looked up sharply!

Above the Forbidden Ground, a figure in a green robe appeared at some unknown time, standing with his hands behind his back, quietly gazing at the first stone pillar.

"You are..."

The elder's pupils contracted sharply, and his entire body's Qi and Blood instantly solidified.

With his Cultivation at the Peak of the Martial God Realm, he actually couldn't perceive when the other party had appeared at all!

Even more terrifying was that when he looked closely, he found that the face of the green-robed person... was seventy percent similar to the blurred human figure on the stone pillar!

"Boom––"

The elder's mind exploded, and an unbelievable thought emerged.

His legs went weak, and he was about to prostrate himself, but he saw the green-robed person smile slightly, and his figure dissipated like smoke.

The Forbidden Ground returned to silence, as if nothing had happened.

Only on the first stone pillar, that blurred human figure pattern, seemed... to have become a bit clearer and brighter.

And at this moment, in the Starry Sky––

Xu Qing withdrew his gaze, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"Martial God Realm... not bad."

He looked towards the farther Universe, where several powerful Martial Dao auras were shuttling through the Star Sea.

These Martial Artists who had emerged from the stars had already begun to explore a wider world.

"When some of you Breakthrough the limits of this world, perhaps..."

"We can meet again."

As his voice fell, his figure had disappeared into the depths of the Star River.
