318: One hundred and fifty years! The Earth Lord is complete!
The entire Great Xia Dynasty was plunged into a momentary tremor.
The Heaven and Earth Restriction that had existed for thousands of years appeared visibly before the world for the first time.
Above the sky, cracks like a spider web appeared out of thin air.
From each crack, terrifying power continuously seeped in.
That incomparably terrifying power carried the Evil Qi of Yao Beasts.
Wherever it passed, boundless clouds were dyed a strange color, a blend of purple-gold and azure-blue.
The air began to fill with the salty smell of evaporated seawater and the scorching scent of burning flames.
Suddenly, above the sea outside the Great Xia Dynasty, Emperor Saint Old Ancestor's Yao eyes narrowed, staring intently at the ever-expanding black shadow within the Imperial Dynasty.
As a Yao Beast that had lived for over a hundred thousand years, his perception of danger was extremely acute.
"Damn it!"
Emperor Saint Old Ancestor suddenly roared in fury, the golden feathers of his sacred flame surging wildly around him, "It's the Immortal Artifact in that woman's hand!"
The black shadow grew larger and larger, eventually transforming into a colossal, pitch-black cauldron, deep as an abyss, suspended in the center of the Great Xia Dynasty's sky.
The cauldron instantly erupted with ten thousand rays of black light, but instead of spreading outwards, the black light converged inwards like a vortex, forming a black hole that devoured all things!
The moment the Mysterious Bird Cauldron fully awakened, the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi within a ten-thousand-mile radius of the Great Xia Dynasty surged madly towards it.
The nine Mysterious Bird patterns on the cauldron's body seemed to come alive, constantly swimming and emitting clear, melodious cries.
Each sound wave that spread out slowed the expansion of the Restriction cracks by a fraction.
"Emperor Saint, what are you doing!"
"Hurry up and break the Restriction!"
Emperor Saint Old Ancestor's turtle face showed a hint of anxiety for the first time; he also sensed an invisible aura of danger.
The two Yao Old Ancestors dared not hold back any longer; the light on the countless chains of world rules suddenly surged.
The world rule power of the purple-gold sacred flame and the profound dark heavy water intertwined, forming a spiral-shaped energy torrent that fiercely impacted the weakest point of the Heaven and Earth Restriction.
Crack!
A crisp sound of shattering echoed through heaven and earth.
The cracks on the attacked Heaven and Earth Restriction suddenly expanded several times, spreading rapidly like a shattered mirror.
Through the cracks, Empress Xia Mingyue and the several Old Ancestors beside her could vaguely see the surging sea outside.
And the ferocious faces of the two Yao Old Ancestors.
At this critical moment, the Mysterious Bird Cauldron, suspended in the sky, suddenly vibrated violently, and its black light sharply contracted.
Then, a black light pillar, a thousand zhang in diameter, burst forth from the cauldron's mouth, striking straight towards the main crack.
Wherever the black light pillar passed, space twisted, and time seemed to slow down.
"Boom!"
The two forces collided in mid-air, unleashing a deafening roar.
Subsequently, the energy storm generated by this collision swept across the entire Great Xia Dynasty.
Countless mountains collapsed, and rivers flowed backward.
The Imperial Palace of Tiandu bore the brunt.
However, the protective grand array hidden beneath the Imperial Palace finally activated.
It formed a layer of profound black light shield in mid-air, thus averting a catastrophic disaster.
Princess Xingyue stood outside the Xuanyi Hall, looking up at the doomsday-like scene, her pretty face deathly pale.
She had never imagined that one day she would witness the shattering of the Heaven and Earth Restriction with her own eyes.
"Imperial Sister..."
She turned to look at Empress Xia Mingyue beside her, only to find that the Empress's figure was becoming ethereal and transparent.
Evidently, the power of Empress Xia Mingyue's Dharma Idol Divine Thought was rapidly depleting!
"Evil beast!"
A thunderous roar suddenly resounded, its sound wave like nine heavens' thunder exploding, causing the air of the entire Great Xia Dynasty to momentarily stagnate.
Immediately after, from the mouth of the Mysterious Bird Cauldron, suspended in the center of the sky, a black lightning bolt as thick as a water bucket instantly shot out.
The black lightning streaked across the sky, twisting space wherever it passed!
Gradually, an incomparably vast human-shaped outline condensed into form.
The human-shaped outline rapidly solidified, revealing the phantom of a middle-aged man.
His profound black imperial robe fluttered without wind, he wore a profound imperial crown, and nine incomparably sacred black divine birds circled around him, each feather imbued with the flow of Heaven and Earth rules.
The Saint Old Ancestor of the Great Xia Dynasty, Xia Wuji!
The moment this phantom of a middle-aged man appeared, the Great Xia Dynasty seemed to gain an invisible sun.
Terrifying pressure swept in all directions, and countless common people within the Great Xia Dynasty involuntarily knelt on the ground.
Even the Great Xia Dynasty members deep within the Imperial Palace felt difficulty breathing and their knees weakening.
"Greetings, Saint Old Ancestor!"
Supreme Emperor Xia Ritian was the first to kneel and bow, his voice trembling greatly due to extreme excitement.
Empress Xia Mingyue's Divine Thought also respectfully prostrated towards Xia Wuji in the sky, a rare look of awe appearing on her ethereal face.
Immediately after, everyone in the Imperial Palace knelt and prostrated one by one!
The phantom of Xia Wuji in the sky did not acknowledge their worship.
His eyes, containing galaxies, directly pierced through the Void Realm, firmly locking onto the two Yao Old Ancestor figures outside the Great Xia Dynasty.
In an instant, Xia Wuji slowly raised his right hand; his movement seemed slow but was actually as fast as lightning.
Endless mighty power condensed in his palm, and the nine Mysterious Birds simultaneously let out clear, melodious cries, spreading their wings and soaring.
The trajectory of each Mysterious Bird left a pitch-black spatial crack in the air.
The nine cracks intertwined into a large net, carrying destructive power, and blasted towards the broken part of the Restriction!
Above the sea outside the Great Xia Dynasty.
Emperor Saint Old Ancestor and Emperor Saint Old Ancestor, who had just broken through the Heaven and Earth Restriction, had not yet had time to rejoice.
They were shocked to the point of Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering by this sudden attack.
"This is!!!"
A humanized look of terror appeared on Emperor Saint Old Ancestor's bird head.
"Immortal... being?"
Emperor Saint Old Ancestor on the side reacted extremely quickly; he didn't remain stunned like Emperor Saint Old Ancestor.
Emperor Saint Old Ancestor's figure flickered, instantly appearing ten thousand meters away.
At the same time, the profound green turtle shell phantom behind him wildly expanded, transforming into a ten-thousand-zhang size in the blink of an eye, like a colossal wall reaching to the heavens and earth, blocking in front of him.
Ancient symbols flowed on the surface of the turtle shell phantom; each pattern contained the power of creation, the crystallization of Emperor Saint Old Ancestor's hundred thousand years of arduous cultivation.
It was said to be able to withstand a full-power strike from a Peak Earth Venerable, and it was his greatest reliance for dominating Ten Thousand Beast Mountain.
Emperor Saint Old Ancestor finally recovered from his shock, and endless golden feather sacred flames instantly burst forth from his purple-gold Yao eyes.
These golden sacred flames did not burn chaotically but condensed into an impenetrable barrier of fire.
Each flame on the barrier was shaped like a feather, arranged in an incomparably mysterious pattern.
As soon as the two Yao Old Ancestors' defenses were formed, the attack composed of nine black divine bird phantoms was already upon them.
Following closely behind was Xia Wuji's rule-bound grand hand, covering the sky and earth.
This strike seemed simple, but in reality, it contained a terrifying Dao rhythm that surpassed the understanding of this world.
Wherever it passed, space shattered inch by inch, revealing the pitch-black Void Realm behind.
Boom!!!
Crack!!!
Amidst a deafening explosion, Emperor Saint Old Ancestor's invincible profound turtle shell phantom.
Under Xia Wuji's giant hand, it was like a fragile eggshell, instantly shattering into countless points of light.
Each fragment burned in the air, turning into green smoke and dissipating.
Pfft!
After suffering a heavy blow, Emperor Saint Old Ancestor violently spat out a large mouthful of green blood.
That was not ordinary blood, but vital essence blood containing the power of creation.
Emperor Saint Old Ancestor's turtle face instantly became covered with wrinkles, as if he had aged ten thousand years in an instant.
He was horrified to discover that his defensive Divine Ability, cultivated for over a hundred thousand years, couldn't even withstand a single blow from the opponent's afterimage!
The terrifying aftershock did not stop, continuing to blast towards the two Yao Old Ancestors.
Emperor Saint Old Ancestor's golden feather sacred flame only lasted for half a breath before collapsing completely.
The sky-filling purple-gold sacred flames were extinguished by Xia Wuji's black grand hand.
The aftershock swept past Emperor Saint Old Ancestor's right wing; the so-called immortal flame feathers instantly turned to ash, revealing the charred skeleton underneath.
Ah!!!
"Damn human!"
Emperor Saint Old Ancestor let out a tragic shriek, his voice filled with unbelievable pain.
He retreated frantically, leaving a puddle of burning purple-gold blood in the Void Realm with every step.
The aftershock of this attack continued to spread, and the sea below was forcibly pressed into a giant pit a thousand li in diameter by an invisible force.
It took more than ten breaths for the surrounding seawater to pour back into this area, creating a deafening roar.
The two Yao Old Ancestors retreated ten thousand li before they barely managed to stabilize themselves.
Emperor Saint Old Ancestor's turtle shell already had several shocking cracks, and his aura was extremely weak.
Emperor Saint Old Ancestor was even worse off; half of his body was charred, his right wing was just a skeleton, and his purple-gold Yao eyes were dim.
"This... how is this possible..."
"Such a small continent could have such an incredible human powerhouse."
Emperor Saint Old Ancestor's turtle eyes were filled with lingering fear, and his voice became somewhat sharp.
This is insane!
He stared intently in the direction of the Great Xia Dynasty, feeling such intense apprehension for the first time in over a hundred thousand years.
The power displayed by that human powerhouse's phantom had completely exceeded his expectations.
Only those old monsters in the Asking Immortal Holy Domain could reach this level!
Pseudo-Immortal?
Suddenly, Emperor Saint Old Ancestor's body trembled, sensing an even worse situation.
The Heaven and Earth Restriction he and Emperor Saint Old Ancestor had jointly set up earlier, which isolated the world, had silently disappeared.
He knew exactly what this meant.
"Emperor Saint, you dead bird!"
Emperor Saint Old Ancestor suddenly turned his head to look at the equally miserable Emperor Saint Old Ancestor, roaring sharply.
"You dared to scheme against me!"
These five words were filled with boundless rage!
The ferocious expression on his turtle face almost twisted: "A small human continent, yet it has such a terrifying powerhouse."
"You old thing, you didn't know?"
Emperor Saint Old Ancestor's half-charred body and skeletal right wing were aching, making him grimace.
Hearing Emperor Saint Old Ancestor's accusation, he immediately burst into a towering rage, his purple-gold Yao eyes practically spewing fire.
"You turtle bastard, what the hell are you talking about!"
Emperor Saint Old Ancestor cursed, "If this Old Ancestor knew there was such a monster here, would I drag you along to your death?"
Clearly, Emperor Saint Old Ancestor was now trembling with anger, his feathers standing on end.
A hint of gloom flashed in Emperor Saint Old Ancestor's eyes, but it quickly turned into determination.
He knew very well that now was not the time to argue with this dead bird.
He was well aware of what it meant for the Heaven and Earth Restriction in this sea area to disappear.
Those old monsters from the Asking Immortal Holy Domain could descend here at any time.
With his current severely injured body, staying any longer would be courting death.
"You dead bird, this Emperor doesn't have time to bother with you now, let's go!"
Emperor Saint Old Ancestor no longer argued with Emperor Saint Old Ancestor, abruptly waving his hand, and half of the Yao Race powerhouses behind him immediately gathered.
He gave Emperor Saint Old Ancestor one last cold look: "This matter isn't over!"
"After returning to Ten Thousand Beast Mountain, this Emperor will definitely ask the Yao Saint for a fair judgment!"
With that, Emperor Saint Old Ancestor's body glowed with a blue-green watery light, enveloping the Yao Race members who followed him, and transformed into a blue-green streak of light, rapidly fleeing.
His speed was so fast that it was impossible to tell he had just been severely injured.
"Damn it, Emperor Saint, you old bastard!"
Emperor Saint Old Ancestor roared from behind, his voice causing giant waves to surge on the sea surface.
But Emperor Saint Old Ancestor did not look back, disappearing into the horizon in a blink of an eye.
Emperor Saint Old Ancestor trembled with rage, purple-gold blood continuously dripping from his wounds, igniting a sea of fire on the ocean surface.
He looked venomously towards the Great Xia Dynasty ahead, his eyes filled with towering hatred.
"Great Xia Dynasty, that woman, and that damned human..."
He gritted his teeth and made a harsh vow: "This Old Ancestor remembers you all!"
Now that the Heaven and Earth Restriction of the Great Xia Dynasty had been broken with such difficulty, he would have to give it up again.
To make wedding clothes for others!
But at present, Emperor Saint Old Ancestor also knew that continuing to stay in this sea area would only be more dangerous.
He knew the methods of those old monsters from the Asking Immortal Holy Domain all too well.
"Retreat!"
Emperor Saint Old Ancestor waved his hand unwillingly, and the remaining Yao Race members immediately gathered.
He took one last look in the direction of the Great Xia Dynasty, a strange light flashing in his purple-gold Yao eyes, then transformed into a streak of light and fled.
Not long after the two Yao Old Ancestors left, several hazy figures suddenly appeared at the cracks in this sea area.
These figures flickered in and out of sight, exuding an aura of transcendence.
"Emperor Saint, and Emperor Saint!"
"How did these two old monsters suddenly run to the Boundless Sea?"
The leading figure sighed lightly, his voice like a clear spring flowing over jade.
In fact, they had noticed it just now.
However, after some consideration, they still decided to let the two Yao Old Ancestors leave.
At this moment, another figure looked towards the Great Xia Dynasty's heaven and earth, his gaze seemingly piercing through layers of space, directly looking at the suspended Mysterious Bird Cauldron.
"That power just now... was it Xia Wuji?"
The third figure nodded gently: "It should be the trump card he left behind."
He paused, a hint of playfulness in his voice.
"Interesting, the Restriction on the land of the Great Xia Dynasty was broken ahead of schedule."
These figures fell silent for a moment.
As for the continent of the Great Xia Dynasty, the people of their Asking Immortal Holy Domain naturally knew about it.
However, due to Xia Wuji, they had tacitly pretended not to see it all these years.
"It seems it's time to meet Xia Wuji's descendants," the leading figure finally said... No years in the mountains, a thousand years in the world!
One hundred and fifty years of time, fleeting.
In a hidden mountain range, a long-dormant cave suddenly erupted with a black-gold light, startling the birds and beasts within a hundred-li radius, causing them to tremble and prostrate.
Lu Xuan, who was sitting cross-legged inside the cave, finally opened his eyes.
As his eyes opened and closed, the scene of the sun, moon, and stars appearing and disappearing flowed within them!
"Earth Venerable Major Achievement!"
