I am a prince in Zhutian Films

Chapter 513 The End of the Storm

overseas.

Island in the middle of the lake.

"Roar!!"

A chilling roar erupted, as if an ancient, primordial beast had burst forth from the earth, its roar shaking mountains and rivers and trembling stars. The enormous roar echoed between heaven and earth, like thunder or a raging flood, causing the entire island to shake.

At the very center of the island in the lake, there is a huge lake. This lake is different from ordinary lakes. It is fiery red and exudes a scorching heat, just like magma.

As the roar resounded, the lake of fire boiled completely, and a colossal creature roared out of the lake.

As soon as this colossal creature appeared, it cast a vast shadow and stirred up towering waves tens of feet high in the lake of fire, unleashing its scorching heat in all directions.

Once the storm had subsided, Ying Xun was able to clearly see the dragon, one of the four divine beasts.

It is not the kind of divine dragon that can summon wind and rain as commonly perceived, but an ancient dragon species that has survived for countless years, and its appearance is very similar to that of a Tyrannosaurus Rex.

Its body was as large as a mountain, and its black scales shone with a metallic luster in the sunlight. It exuded an unparalleled aura of menace.

Upon seeing the dragon's appearance clearly, Ying Xun was somewhat disappointed, but also somewhat relieved.

Disappointment, of course, stemmed from the fact that the dragon resembled a Tyrannosaurus Rex, rather than the legendary divine dragon.

Fortunately, because it resembled a Tyrannosaurus Rex, I could attack it without hesitation.

After all, for a descendant of the dragon, Ying Xun would find it difficult to bring himself to attack a legendary dragon.

Previously, after eliminating the brothers Xiao Aoshi and Xiao Jingtian, Ying Xun returned to the Central Plains and, with the help of Zhao Huaien, Granny Wushuang, Xiong Ba, and others, re-established the Qin Empire in five years.

As for Japan, he entrusted its management to Hayato Ten'in.

Hayato Ten'in is ambitious and resourceful, a rare talent, and is the perfect person to take control of Japan.

Let this tiny country do whatever it wants. Ying Xun doesn't care about the lives of the Japanese anyway. If Hayato Ten'in develops any ambition to conquer the Central Plains, he won't mind replacing him with someone else.

Of course, Hayato Ten'in was a pragmatic person who had witnessed Ying Xun's methods of defeating the Great Leader and the Great Demon God. He was always pragmatic and even contributed a lot when Ying Xun restored the Great Qin.

After establishing the Qin Dynasty, Ying Xun rested for a while before turning his attention to this dragon.

The power of the Dragon Essence may not actually surpass that of the four essences refined from the body of the Great Demon God, but the system says that the Dragon Essence can be taken to the next world, while the essences refined from the Great Demon God cannot be taken away.

The system didn't say why, but Ying Xun guessed it was related to his identity as a "dragon," since the system had also mentioned that the Fire Qilin could be taken away in addition to the Dragon Essence.

The dragon's hiding place is extremely secretive, but Ying Xun possesses the "Heavenly Cry," which allows him to see all the secrets of the world, leaving no place for the dragon to hide.

The only problem is that the dragon only appears on an auspicious day that occurs once every ten cycles of the Chinese calendar, when the primordial yang energy in the world will reach its peak, which is also when the dragon is at its weakest.

However, Ying Xun also had his own method, which was the essence of Emperor Shitian and the essence of the Great Demon God.

In addition to the immense power of true qi, the essence of the two also contained the most masculine and yang qi.

Indra is the result of cultivating the supremely yang and powerful celestial-level Maha-Boundless.

As for the Great Demon God, the Four Absolute Techniques of Chaos he cultivated also possessed extremely strong and yang energy.

Using the essence of the two as a source, Ying Xun set up a "Yuan Yang" array, causing the Yuan Yang energy of the entire Fire Lake to erupt, creating a "Sun of Auspiciousness".

However, this led to the current situation.

"Roar!!"

Another roar resounded, shaking the entire island.

Upon discovering Ying Xun, the dragon immediately became ferocious, unleashing a world-destroying aura as it pounced on Ying Xun.

In the original storyline, Duan Lang, after consuming two Dragon Orbs, became almost invincible. It took a series of battles from masters such as Nie Feng, Bu Jingyun, Emperor Wenlong, and Wuming to barely defeat him.

Now, this dragon is the fusion of seven elements, coupled with its powerful and massive body, it can truly be said to be able to kill gods and Buddhas if they are in its way. Moreover, this auspicious day is just an illusion created by the formation, and it does not have much impact on its strength.

Even if Ying Xun were to confront it head-on, it would be difficult for him to defeat it in a short period of time.

Fortunately, it has seven major weaknesses, which is why the original route included the Seven Warriors Slaying the Dragon, led by Emperor Shitian.

Although Ying Xun was only one person, he was invincible in all directions and could divide one person into ten.

The ten Ying Xun each displayed their unique skills. Three clones attracted the dragon's attention from the front, while the other seven clones launched attacks on various weak points.

After two hours of fierce fighting between the man and the dragon, a mournful howl was heard, and the dragon, one of the four divine beasts, collapsed with a thud, causing the entire island to tremble once again.

Ying Xun slowly descended from the sky, a huge ball of dragon essence, scorching hot, appeared in his hand.

"This is what I have to rely on to make a living in the next world."

Ying Xun neither swallowed the Dragon Essence nor divided it into seven parts; instead, he directly stored the Dragon Essence into his system space.

Besides the dragon essence, the dragon's corpse is also a valuable item.

Yes, we can't let it go.

The medicinal herbs around the Fire Lake are also valuable, rich in fire-attribute energy, which is beneficial to the growth of the Fire Qilin.

No questions asked, take them all.

In addition, Ying Xun also sneaked into the Fire Lake to search for it.

Unfortunately, there's nothing good in the lake of fire.

"There's nothing good left, time to go."

Ying Xun glanced around the Fire Lake and prepared to leave.

Suddenly, a tremor ran through him, and he turned his gaze to a drop of blood on the ground.

He also sustained some injuries during the battle with the dragon.

In the depths of his being, Ying Xun had a premonition that this drop of blood might lead to some trouble.

He reached out his hand, intending to completely annihilate this drop of blood.

But then, a look of hesitation appeared between his brows.

In Buddhism, there is a saying that supernatural powers cannot overcome karma. Just like Xiong Ba, who had the destiny of a hegemon, he ultimately rose and fell because of Feng Yun. Although there were countless masters in the Central Plains and Japan, no one could stop him during his ten-year reign. But once his ten-year reign ended, if it weren't for the intervention of Ying Xun, an outsider, he would have surely died at the hands of Feng Yun.

While that drop of blood can be easily wiped away, that trouble cannot be erased.

If that's the case, then it's better to take control of this cause and effect.

Ying Xun felt a chill run down his spine, held the blood in his hand, and rode away on the wind.

……

In the palace.

Ying Xun sat cross-legged, emptied his mind, and used his primordial spirit to reflect on the void, entering a state of clarity and tranquility.

He didn't know how much time had passed before he slowly opened his eyes.

"Although Xiao Sanxiao's Myriad Paths of the World can govern all martial arts in the world, it is not suitable for me. My skills are too diverse, and I still need to create a new martial art."

The creation of a divine skill that would govern all of Ying Xun's martial arts had long been part of his plan.

He traveled far and wide, acquiring countless divine martial arts skills, which laid an incredibly solid foundation for him. In any martial arts world, he would be considered a master, but precisely because of this, it was even more difficult to reach a higher level.

However, after years of accumulation and dedicated study of the myriad paths of martial arts, Ying Xun has already developed a prototype of this divine skill that governs all his martial arts.

But even in its early stages, it still faces a major problem.

That is, if we follow his line of thinking and want to reach a higher level, we need to break down and rebuild the original foundation.

This made Ying Xun hesitate, after all, the Qin Dynasty had just been established and needed him to oversee things.

"Let's wait and see, until the Qin Dynasty is completely stable," Ying Xun muttered to himself, then rose and left the palace hall.

And this wait lasted for fifteen years.

At this time, his children's martial arts skills were no weaker than those of the Demon Lord Bai Suzhen, Wuming, and other masters on the Shock List, and under his guidance, their ability to govern the country was also quite strong.

Ying Xun finally felt at ease entrusting the restored Qin Empire to his son. After blasting the divine weapon Jiuxiao into the earth's veins, he took You Ruo back to Yunlai Town to disperse his internal energy and start over in martial arts training.

It's worth mentioning that they unexpectedly encountered Nie Feng's family in Yunlai Town.

Then, Bu Jingyun's family... Qin Shuang's family... the retired constables, Mingyue and Zhao Huaien...

The sun rises and sets, the stars shift and the constellations move.

Her friends and relatives had all perished in the river of time, and Youruo finally succumbed to the erosion of time, passing away at the age of five hundred.

After You Ruo died, Ying Xun buried himself as well.

…… …………

2047 AD.

Earth's civilization is already highly advanced, and martial arts have long been outdated under the onslaught of technological advancements.

However, this prosperous civilization was facing annihilation.

Scientists from various countries have discovered a massive meteorite swarm hurtling towards Earth, but current technology can only destroy a small portion of the meteorites. The remaining meteorites are enough to completely destroy the Earth.

However, when governments around the world were at their wits' end, everyone was on the verge of despair, and humanity was about to be destroyed, a huge figure appeared in the sky, towering over the heavens and earth, extraordinary and otherworldly, like a god.

Or rather, he is a god, a savior.

A figure in a flowing blue robe, unlike modern attire, unleashed a colossal blade of light with a wave of his hand, annihilating the entire meteorite swarm. However, a small number of meteorites still fell, causing heavy casualties and near annihilation for several countries, including an island nation and a peninsula nation.

According to research, the figure that resembled a deity was similar to a peerless martial artist from thousands of years ago. That martial artist was the restorer of the Qin Empire and the ancestor of the Ying family, the most powerful family in the world at that time—Ying Xun.

According to the Ying family, the blade of light that was unleashed was a peerless martial art from a thousand years ago—the Love That Captivates the City.

From then on, martial arts flourished once again, and Ying Xun was revered as the God of War and savior.

……

2566 AD.

A person stood atop the Tianshan Mountains.

Its aura is as deep and vast as the sea, stirring up storms and clouds.

He wore a strange metal mask, stood with his hands behind his back, and looked down at the heavens and the earth, like a god.

Like the bloodthirsty madmen of the past five hundred years, he proclaimed himself a god—a demigod.

But unlike others, he truly possessed godlike abilities. Those who previously proclaimed themselves gods or heavens were nothing but ants before him, easily annihilated with a wave of their hand.

He can withstand nuclear bombs with his bare body, and any casual strike he makes can cause a tsunami that destroys a country.

His strength is actually related to the legendary peerless martial god.

Half-God, born into the world's richest family in a multinational research group, has an IQ of a terrifying 3,000 percent without any genetic modification. His achievements in technology and human DNA surpass those of any predecessors. He possesses partial precognitive abilities and the supercomputer "Shenwu," which has mastered all martial arts from ancient and modern times, both Chinese and foreign, and has deduced them to their ultimate level.

He was an all-around genius, and later, by chance, he discovered a piece of blood-stained amber, which contained a drop of the God of War's blood.

The body of the current Half-God was cloned using the blood of the God of War.

In other words, beneath the mask of the demigod lies a face identical to Ying Xun's.

While deducing all martial arts techniques from ancient times to the present, he discovered that if the Maha Boundless could be pushed to its limit, it would be able to break through the barriers of time and space and travel through the past, present, and future.

After discovering this secret, the half-god conceived a crazy idea: to use the Great Immeasurable to travel through time and space back to the most ancient era, to reenact the Genesis recorded in the Western Bible, and to create perfect humanity according to his own ideas, instead of the greedy, selfish, and ignorant race that exists today.

In other words, he wants to become the creator and create the most perfect human beings and world.

I have to say, this is a crazy idea.

Today is the day he can realize this crazy idea.

He plans to use two clones to push the Maha Boundless Circulation to its limit and enter the ancient era.

The genes of these two clones come from Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun, who were from the same era as the God of War. They were the ones most capable of unleashing the power of the Great Void, and the Half-God had already planned everything.

Centuries of planning have led to this day.

However, before the demigod could witness the cloning phenomenon, a force beyond the mortal realm suddenly descended.

Dressed in a blue robe, with a smile on his face, he seemed like a god.

Although the half-god prided himself on being a god and possessed an unwavering will, remaining calm even if the sky were to fall, upon seeing this person, the face beneath the mask couldn't help but reveal a look of fear.

"Half-god, when I personally compiled the second volume of the Panic List, you were ranked ninth. Do you remember the annotations about you?"

Upon hearing this, the half-god trembled.

He naturally knew about the list of alarms written by Ying Xun himself, and a sentence involuntarily came to mind, which was the last annotation about "half a god" more than a thousand years ago.

—A genius who transcends the great calamities of ages, a demon who intends to destroy all living beings, a madman who compares himself to a god, yet “I” rule the world, and can slaughter both heaven and gods.

In the past, the demigod had not paid much attention to these words, but at this moment... a look of horror appeared in his eyes.

"It seems you understand now. If you wish to destroy all living beings, I will slaughter you right here today."

"Hmph, arrogant. I have reached the pinnacle of martial arts through the Divine Martial Arts. Anyone who obstructs my plans today will die."

The demigod nearly roared as he finished speaking, "Even you, a god of war, will die!"

Before the words were even finished, the area within a hundred miles had already turned into a vast ocean.

A vast ocean formed from true energy, raging with incredible power.

The snow-capped mountain collapsed, the ground caved in, and a continuous rumbling sound could be heard.

Amidst this tremendous roar, the half-god erupted with dazzling light, like a blazing sun in the sky, crashing towards Ying Xun.

"With my current cultivation level, dealing with you would be very simple, but I left a trap in Tianshan back then, and it would be a pity not to use it now."

With a flick of his sleeve, Ying Xun conjured a portal in mid-air.

The moment the portal opened, a thunderous roar was heard, and countless sword energies poured out from it, like a flood bursting its banks, boundless and endless, surging and roaring.

Half-God unleashed a punch, directly shattering the long river of sword energy.

However, before he could even feel happy, his vision blurred and he stepped into a strange world.

This is a world that belongs to swords.

When the demigod stepped into this world, sword mountains, sword rivers, sword pools, and sword paths all surged and pressed towards him.

He is not facing one person, but a world, all the masters of swordsmanship throughout history.

"The half-god has been suppressed, that so-called Great Sun Tathagata..."

Ying Xun did not continue speaking, because he suddenly felt something and looked up, his gaze passing through layers of floating clouds and the sky, reaching beyond the endless starry sky.

His body jolted suddenly.

In that instant, he seemed to see a pair of eyes.

A pair of indifferent and profound eyes!

These eyes seem to have been silently observing everything since ancient times, overlooking the long river of time.

The moment their eyes met, Ying Xun suddenly felt a sense of disorientation. The pair of eyes he had seen earlier were no longer there; everything seemed like a dream.

……

Lingshan Scenic Area, the Buddha's Bodhimanda.

There are solemn Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and Arhats sitting in solemn postures.

A large Buddha sits in the center, seated on a black lotus, with a carefree expression, eyes lowered, looking into the palm of his hand.

The Buddhist kingdom is within our grasp, and beings from beyond the heavens enter our palms—perhaps this is yet another opportunity and destiny.

The Buddha on the black lotus smiled slightly, straightened up, looked around, opened his divine eyes, and surveyed the three realms and six paths.

At the summit of Tianshan Mountain, Ying Xun stood frozen in place, staring intently at the sky above.

One day, one month, one year...

Thirty-three years later.

At the summit of Tianshan Mountain, two divine rays suddenly burst forth, piercing through the sky.

"Great Sun Tathagata, I have found you."

Immediately afterwards, the Tianshan Mountains trembled violently, and a divine rainbow, carrying endless sword energy, shot into the sky.

On this day, everyone in the world seemed to see a colossal sword that split the heavens, dragging a world of swords, crashing into a Buddhist kingdom.

Thirty-three years.

Thirty-three days.

Who sends whom to reincarnation?
Or perhaps... we will reincarnate together?
