306: The Heavenly Dao revives and replaces it! (Grand Finale)

"What happened next?"

Facing Xia Fan's confusion, the Magic Cat basically answered everything she knew. "As for what happened next, I'm not very clear either, but I imagine that since the Demon Emperor and the three Immortal Emperors have all died in battle, the other powerful cultivators are mostly gone too."

"Only the ancient people, sealed by the Immortal Emperors using various methods during their lives, escaped the calamity!"

Hearing this, Xia Fan nodded slightly. After all, Immortal Monarch Azure Water and Frost had said that they were sealed by an Immortal Emperor, which is why they remained until now.

"I suppose no Immortal Emperor realm experts remain now, and Xia Qingxian should be similar..."

...At this time, the person Xia Fan and the Magic Cat were discussing—Xia Qingxian—had not actively shown herself in the world since her awakening, nor had she attacked the nearby fierce beasts to establish her might.

After her condition had mostly recovered, she went deep into the earth's core.

Actually, there was a mysterious space here. For many years, everyone believed that the earth's core was filled with lava and high temperatures, but within this mysterious space, nothing could intrude.

Xia Qingxian waved her hand, opening this mysterious space, and stepped inside.

She looked ahead and saw a mass of chaotic energy gently rippling, seemingly stirred by someone's arrival.

After gazing for a moment, Xia Qingxian drew forth streams of pure power, throwing them towards the chaotic energy, while muttering, "Heavenly Dao, awaken!"

Rumble—

Instantly, a massive tremor emanated from deep within the earth, penetrating countless layers of rock and soil. Its power was so great that it caused surface mountains to shake, the earth to crack, and seawater to surge back, truly a scene of doomsday!

This Xia Qingxian actually wanted to awaken the Heavenly Dao!

And just then, the Magic Cat exclaimed, "I... I just felt the presence of the Heavenly Dao, and there's also an exceptionally familiar aura, it seems... it seems to be Xia Qingxian!"

"I didn't expect an ancient Immortal Emperor to still be alive!"

For a moment, Xia Fan's face showed apprehension, and his heart was incomparably shocked!

Previously, he and the Magic Cat had both thought that the four Immortal Emperors had either died in battle or fallen into oblivion with the Heavenly Dao. But now, reality struck back fiercely!

As time passed, the chaotic energy deep within the earth's core, which was the Heavenly Dao, absorbed more and more power, becoming increasingly active.

During this period, everyone felt that this world seemed to become exceptionally strange. Some perfectly fine people suddenly died on the spot, and various bizarre phenomena appeared all over the world, causing widespread panic.

It seemed... an invisible force was affecting every person, every living being in the world. Everyone could sense that the world, which had not been peaceful for long, was about to face great chaos again.

"Roar—"

As the massive tremor that swept across the world subsided, a supreme roar spread throughout the world, echoing in everyone's ears.

After hearing it, Xia Fan's expression changed, and even the Magic Cat was incredibly shocked. "The Heavenly Dao... has truly revived, and it's heading towards us!"

Boom—

As her words fell, she and Xia Fan, along with the fierce beasts in Yunxia Mountain, all felt an invincible aura descend. A hazy voice emanated from the sky, "A part of me is here. I'll retrieve it first!"

Xia Fan and the Magic Cat looked up and saw a woman and a chaotic Giant Beast, looking down at them from above, with an imposing aura.

Seeing these two fix their gaze on the Magic Cat, Xia Fan immediately stepped forward and angrily said, "You want to take the little Magic Cat away?"

"This King will not agree!"

"Ant!"

Xia Qingxian snorted coldly, then said, "You can devour that little Magic Cat; I'll deal with this ant!"

"Alright."

Buzz—

In an instant, Xia Fan and the Magic Cat merged, their aura rapidly soaring. At this moment, though infinitely close to the ninth rank, he was not truly a ninth-rank cultivator.

With just one encounter, he was sent flying back by Xia Qingxian's palm. "A mere ant, daring to be presumptuous before this Emperor?"

"Quickly unmerge, otherwise... this Emperor will obliterate you both!"

Xia Fan didn't speak; he merely applied various abilities to himself, and with the 72 Transformations, he split into ten clones. He then summoned the Great Devouring Realm and, with a raised hand, unleashed countless bolts of lightning.

This was all of his power.

Xia Qingxian was slightly surprised at this. "You ant, you've learned quite a few skills, especially this lightning technique. It reminds this Emperor of those old acquaintances."

"You deserve to die ten thousand times over!"

Rumble—

Instantly, two invincible forces struck simultaneously; it was Xia Qingxian and the Heavenly Dao, acting at the same time.

Facing such a situation, Xia Fan was utterly unable to resist. At this moment, not only did he retreat dozens of miles, but he also spewed out a large amount of blood, his aura becoming incredibly chaotic.

As if to intimidate all living beings, the Heavenly Dao deliberately spread the battle across the entire world, allowing everyone to witness it.

"Why do you always make things difficult for the Tiger God?"

Someone who saw this scene indignantly said, "The Tiger God is our guardian god who helped us eliminate the demon race! If you are so powerful, why didn't you come out to protect all living beings when the demon race was rampant?"

"Hmph!"

"People like them only care about themselves; they don't care about our lives or deaths at all!"

"Tiger God, you must hold on..."

The people of the world did not know who Xia Qingxian and the Heavenly Dao were; they only knew that Xia Fan was facing the combined assault of two powerful beings, and there was nothing they could do.

It seemed that only by continuously praying in their hearts could they find peace.

Little did they know, as the living beings of the world prayed, invisible forces drifted from all directions, heading straight for Xia Fan.

The chaotic Giant Beast, formed by the Heavenly Dao, sensed this power, and its expression grew increasingly grim. "A mere ant, daring to contend with me for the power of the Heavenly Dao?"

"You are courting death!"

Rumble—

An even more terrifying power struck again.

This time, a layer of milky-white light suddenly shimmered around Xia Fan, blocking the attack for him.

"It's the power of faith!"

The Magic Cat was overjoyed, suddenly thinking of a way to defeat the opponent. "Tiger Brother, seize this opportunity to absorb and refine the power of faith! I'll give you another push, and you can definitely break through!"

"Alright!"

Hearing this, Xia Fan unhesitatingly devoured these powers of faith.

And the Magic Cat, being a part of the Heavenly Dao, could allow Xia Fan to temporarily avoid the Heavenly Dao's suppression.

Buzz—

As time passed, Xia Fan's aura soared again, finally breaking through the shackles and leaping into the ranks of the ninth rank.

At this moment, facing Xia Qingxian and the chaotic Giant Beast, he gained a clearer understanding. "So, even within the ninth rank, there are strengths and weaknesses. You, the Heavenly Dao, are not even one-tenth of your strongest!"

"This King will face you!"

Boom, boom, boom!

A great battle erupted again, and the roar of a tiger reverberated throughout the heavens and earth.

After a full ten days, the world returned to peace.

When the living beings of the world looked up, they saw a majestic Giant Tiger, full of vigor, occupying a region and looking down upon all living beings... "I am the Heavenly Dao!"

Under the gaze of countless beings, Xia Fan slowly spoke, "From today onwards, all living beings under heaven are equal. Humans and fierce beasts shall coexist peacefully. When humans rebuild their homes, fierce beasts shall not obstruct them, and humans shall likewise leave sufficient territory for fierce beasts to multiply."

"Henceforth, no Immortal Realm shall be established. The demon race shall also establish its own realm, and the two races..."

At this moment, Xia Fan issued various rules, rebuilding the order of the world... (End of Chapter)
