From the Ming Dynasty, we will conquer the world

These god-kings, like the Blood King, possess unparalleled supernatural powers and skills. Some have powerful divine souls, enough to transform the fake into the real; some wield the light of the universe and can reverse time; some can manipulate the universe and their words can become the law of the world…

These various supernatural powers are all aspects of the origin of heaven and earth, which also established the strongest position of these god-kings, who could sit high on their divine thrones, look down on all living beings, and be the most supreme in the world.

Over countless eras, even the immortal god-king, the king of kings, could not fully master these divine powers. He could only unleash them by sacrificing his flesh and blood through the "blood sacrifice of kings."

Xu Xing's solution was also surprisingly simple.

Then he would transform his fist intent, physique, essence, and everything else into pure power, and recklessly charge forward to confront it head-on!
If there were even a single spectator nearby, they would see that Xu Xing's form was either frozen in place or flickering in the vast void, with every part of him being disordered, contradictory, or even completely distorted, making him completely inhuman.

This is because all the orifices in his body are vibrating in different ways, and his normal concept of time is completely disordered at this moment, making his movements unrecognizable.

Even in the eyes of an immortal god-king, a golden rainbow could still be seen, unstoppable, hurtling straight toward him.

No matter what kind of god-king blocked the way, they could only be shattered into dust. The various strange phenomena caused by the simultaneous appearance of billions of god-kings became increasingly transparent and ethereal under the influence of the fist intent.

The intent of the fist is originally formless and intangible, but this transparent and ethereal feeling fully demonstrates the growing trend of the intent of the fist. In just a moment, it is like a monstrous wave, sweeping across the heavens and earth and making the world seem thin, like an unreal dream bubble.

This is the unparalleled fist intent that shatters the vacuum!

Viewing the heavens and the universe as "emptiness" and one's own existence as "truth," the fist intent transcends all material existence, thus becoming invincible and unbreakable. No amount of primordial energy, laws, or cosmic light can affect him, making him truly unrestrained!

Although the God-Kings were not as powerful as the Immortal God-Kings, they were by no means inferior to the other four ancient God-Kings. They had all mastered the power to shatter the vacuum, but none of them could cultivate such a fist intent.

Because no matter whether they are immortal god-kings, in the end they have never truly broken free from the calamity of the era and risen above the universe. No matter how strong their supernatural powers are, they are just an embodiment of the will of heaven and earth.

Without such willpower, one cannot unleash a fist that "shatters the vacuum," nor can one touch the true secrets of this realm.

Xu Xing's figure flashed across the battlefield, like a dragon hidden in the clouds. Even a glimpse of his scales or claws was astonishing; it might be a fist, a footprint, or a flick of his finger...

It appears as if he has used his "ever-changing" ability to disperse into countless parts, which in reality transcends the limitations of time and space and has reached another higher dimension.

In this dimension, Xu Xing's true form remains intact. With each punch and kick, boundless fist intent follows, allowing unparalleled fist power to be transmitted throughout the entire universe.

As Xu Xing unleashed his attacks, he also deepened his understanding of the "shattering the vacuum" realm.

His mind was constantly flashing with inspiration, and his ideas collided with each other, sparking countless sparks that formed various fist techniques and supernatural abilities that could better unleash this power.

The most important aspect of shattering the vacuum lies in distinguishing between what is real and what is empty. This is an extremely dangerous step. The higher one's realm and the deeper one's connection with the Dao, the easier it is to fall into this trap.

Moreover, this world also experiences an epochal calamity that occurs once every 120,000 years. In countless cycles of calamity, the original laws of heaven and earth have long been distorted and corrupted, beyond refutation.

The god-kings of past eras were products of this alienation and distortion. Living in this cosmic environment for a long time, they were naturally unable to witness the truth, let alone escape, reach the other shore, and achieve their own truth.

Therefore, the supreme beings of this world who have reached the level of "shattering the vacuum," whether they are born god-kings or cultivated immortals, will simply choose the universe as their refuge, and eventually attain a state where heaven and earth are me, and I am heaven and earth.

This is a helpless compromise and reconciliation with the laws of heaven and earth, but it is also something that must be done, because for the cultivators of this world, they have no other reference point besides this world.

However, Xu Xing had many worlds and universes he had seen before as references, the Xuanmen universe he had created as a foundation, and finally the "Haotian Mirror" as an anchor point.

In a sense, this is the most valuable gain he has made along the way, and a foundation that even the strongest people in this world could hardly match even after cultivating for another 100,000 years.

However, while this method has its merits, it is not without its flaws. It is uncompromising, unyielding, and leaves no room for maneuver, forming its own world, which will inevitably provoke a fierce backlash from heaven and earth.

Although they are not necessarily incompatible, they will certainly have to go through a long process full of confrontation and conflict to resolve their differences—the Immortal God King and many demon gods are one such solution.

Because of all these causes and effects, the power of "shattering the vacuum" that Xu Xing is now displaying far exceeds the expectations of the Immortal God King. It is not in his strength or his might, but only in his realm, which makes him look up in awe.

Within a tiny unit of time that even an immortal god-king could not capture, billions of god-kings had already been blasted to pieces by the force of the punch.

Moreover, the force of the punch had no origin and no destination, as if it came from an unreachable other shore. Each punch was an explosion, and no one could resist it.

Seeing this scene, the Immortal God King couldn't help but wonder: Could it be that this person is truly not from this world? Otherwise, how could he have cultivated such a method?!
The Immortal God-King further discovered that after each God-King perished, not only was their own essence annihilated, but even the lingering echo of their original imprint within the will of heaven and earth completely vanished.

It seems as if these god-kings never appeared, nor did they ever have any impact on this world or universe, leaving no trace whatsoever.

If the Immortal God King could still discern the origins and principles behind Xu Xing's fist techniques, then the divine abilities he is now using have even surpassed the comprehension of this King of Kings.

In another instant, the billions of demons and gods were swept away by Xu Xing. The tens of millions of figures merged into one again and appeared in front of the Immortal God King, unleashing another pure and supreme punch.

Although the Immortal God King was severely weakened from burning his essence to launch the Blood Sacrifice of Ten Thousand Kings, he could feel that as the enemy in front of him grew stronger, the support that Heaven gave him also became more solid.

In that short moment, the aura of the Immortal God King had already climbed to another peak that it had never reached before.

His true nature has also been deeply influenced by the will of Heaven, and he coldly observes the countless cycles of change, as if he has truly become the way of Heaven, with no one else to his name.

The Immortal God-King could even sense that at the very center of the universe, there was a Taoist priest sitting at the end of time, seemingly both at the beginning of creation and at the end of an era, looking towards this place.

The Taoist priest stood on a golden bridge and wore an extremely elaborate robe embroidered with gods and immortals and countless magnificent scenes. He exuded an aura of eternal existence, undestroyed by the destruction of heaven and earth or the extinction of the universe.

Even after 100,000 years, the Immortal God King would never forget this man's aura and appearance, for he was the number one person throughout the ages and the one who once suppressed the five ancient God Kings.

—The Emperor of Immortality!
The aftershocks of the battle between the Immortal God King and Xu Xing have now reached the Origin Land at the very center of the universe, causing the strongest being in the Yang God Universe to awaken from his long wait and cast a curious glance at him.

But at this moment, facing the gaze of the Eternal Emperor, the Immortal God King could no longer muster any emotion. His heart was indifferent, and every breath he took, every movement he made, was in perfect sync with the workings of the universe.

For the strong, mobilizing the primordial energy of heaven and earth to enhance their martial arts and supernatural abilities, with a single move affecting hundreds of miles, or even moving mountains and filling seas, shaking the continental shelf, are all considered the most basic of basic skills.

Those at a higher level of strength will constantly hone their skills in controlling vital energy, no longer purely pursuing breadth, but striving to improve the precision and accuracy of each move to cause maximum damage.

However, the power that the Immortal God King is now mobilizing has already surpassed the scope of "the primordial energy of heaven and earth".

The cosmic power in his hands is sunlight, planetary magnetic fields, cosmic radiation, and all the great forces that constitute this world, omnipresent and all-encompassing!
With a clench of his giant fist, the vast void, the distant great worlds, even the outer star rivers, and the countless smaller worlds within them all froze at the smallest unit of time.

It can be said that the immense power that could sustain the operation of the universe for this very moment has been completely channeled into the fist of the Immortal God-King. Such power can even be called "infinite"!
Even Xu Xing, who can perfectly control matter and energy through the transformation of primordial energy, still undergoes a transformation process and has a limit to his control, preventing him from acting like an immortal god-king. This is the extraordinary ability bestowed upon him by the will of heaven and earth!
But it is precisely this level of power that makes Xu Xing truly respect him!
Instead of directly confronting him with a punch, he began to re-examine his physical body and the numerous acupoints that numbered as high as one yuan.

Even though Xu Xing theoretically possesses infinite power, enough to shatter the universe given enough time, it would still be a considerable burden to wipe out billions of demons and gods on his own.

This burden does not stem from the supernatural powers of the many god-kings, but from the endless operation of the "shattering vacuum" power, resulting in various invisible collisions with this world and universe.

At this point, even the Yiyuan Acupoint was somewhat unable to withstand the shock, and the force of the shock spread throughout his body, affecting the operation of his entire physical body and causing Xu Xing to experience a long-lost feeling of "fatigue".

However, for him, this was not a bad thing, but rather a rare opportunity for tempering.

In the process of opening his own acupoints, Xu Xing was able to refer to the celestial phenomena of this universe and enter the realm of "shattering the vacuum." After seeing the true nature of himself, he no longer had any fixed rules to follow, and every step from then on required him to create his own path.

Therefore, only through the most intense battles can Xu Xing use pressure to examine the slightest flaws, reach the theoretical limits, and even surpass them to form a completely new structure.

He could sense that this physical body, which was constructed with the One Yuan Acupoint as the basic unit, now had at most 70% of its peak combat power, or even less.

But Xu Xing knew even better that his contest with the Immortal God King, or rather with this world, was never about pure power, or rather, it was not just about power.

Although the Immortal God-King has now been infused with the will of Heaven, and his power has reached an incredible level, his "original heart" has also been completely overwhelmed by this will, leaving him with no chance of transcending or achieving any miracles.

Although Xu Xing's physical body, the foundation of his existence, was injured, his fist intent, after sweeping away the demons and monsters, also rose to an unprecedented and unparalleled level.

The intent of the fist catalyzes the physical body and sublimates the fist technique. The three foundations of a martial artist—mind, skill, and body—have been completely integrated and superimposed on each other. In terms of momentum, Xu Xing has already gained an absolute advantage!

Furthermore, the power he possesses is not limited to "shattering the vacuum" alone!

Just as the Immortal God King was about to make his move and the world was in his grasp, Xu Xing took advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to truly witness how the will of heaven and earth of the Yang God Universe operated.

When undergoing the nine tribulations of lightning, the will of heaven and earth revealed the fundamental cycle of the Yangshen universe, but not completely; rather, it was another level of obstacle to understanding.

Generally speaking, the reason why Nine Tribulation Ghost Immortals need to enter the Origin Land to break through the Yang God Realm is to break through this illusion and then discard the interference of the River of Time in order to see the ethereal Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.

Originally, by cultivating through the method of "shattering the vacuum," it would have been absolutely impossible to touch upon the realm of "uniting with the Dao," comprehend the Dao of Heaven, the origin of all things, and the mechanism of the universe's rotation—the realm of the Yang God.

But now, this great Dao of Heaven and Earth, which should be formless and intangible yet omnipresent, has appeared before Xu Xing in a concrete form, making it clear to him, even visible, audible, and tangible!
Xu Xingben, who had merged with his physical body, carrying all his divine thoughts and even beginning to evolve the universe's five primordial spirits, actually separated from his "shattered vacuum" physical body in that instant!
Above Xu Xing's head, a dark, formless, and unfathomably deep void reappeared, from which the venerable and sacred Heavenly Venerable, the origin of all paths, stepped out.

At this moment, the Immortal God King's physical body also experienced a great tremor. His fist, which was originally poised to be unleashed, was abruptly stopped by an inch.

Despite the cost of his scales being shattered, his skin torn, and his blood splattering everywhere, the Immortal God King showed no sign of wavering. Deep within his indifferent expression lay a new kind of longing.

Just as Xu Xing wanted to "observe the Dao" through the Immortal God King, the Immortal God King, while obeying the will of Heaven, was also always ready to glean the secrets of Xu Xing's cultivation path from him.

Seeing this scene, the Immortal God King had a sudden realization—the other party's background was probably the same as his own, belonging to the category of innate gods, but how did he manage to break free?
At this moment, the desire in the eyes of the Immortal God King was extremely intense. He only wanted to see how Xu Xing's primordial spirit would evolve, even if it meant sacrificing his own life.

This innate demon god, who always valued technique over principle and pursued supernatural powers, has finally come to understand what it means to "hear the Dao in the morning and die content in the evening."

As soon as this Celestial Venerable stepped out of the Primordial Chaos, his aura suddenly weakened. Only 129,600 divine thoughts continued to swirl, but he no longer possessed the imposing aura of the origin of heaven and earth and the source of all paths.

The universe behind him suddenly separated the pure from the impure, created yin and yang, and transformed into a flawless world with strict laws, a self-contained system, solid and stable, and without any reconciliation or compromise with the outside world.

Xu Xing's physical body suddenly expanded, encompassing this world within his body, truly attaining the supreme realm of "self-contained universe".

Within his primordial spirit, which had transformed into a Celestial Venerable, two equally brilliant yet distinctly different radiances appeared. One was extremely glorious, while the other was cold and aloof. They intertwined and radiated boundless light towards the vast world.

The former is Xu Xing's innate spiritual light, while the latter is the Haotian Mirror that is born from it. The sun and moon of the vast world also resonate with it, endlessly casting their power along the mysterious laws.

In an instant, all the powerful beings above the level of Creator in the entire universe felt something and knew that someone was trying to break through to the Yang God realm and become the Holy Emperor of this era!
The Immortal God-King paid no heed to a mere Yang God realm cultivator. He simply gazed at the Celestial Venerable, remaining silent for a long time, a hint of sorrow even appearing in his eyes. He shed tears he had never shed before, and said wistfully:
"That's it, that's it."

Before the fluctuations of his divine sense were over, the Immortal God King could no longer suppress his fist power. With a sway of his body, he arrived in front of Xu Xing and punched him with the power of the universe!
Xu Xing's primordial spirit, physical body, and inner universe merged into one at this moment, becoming inseparable. He did not fight it head-on, but instead used the most direct method to retaliate against the Immortal God King with a punch.

But this collision, which should have been earth-shattering, even world-destroying, appeared to be so silent.

In the shattered void, all was silent.

Xu Xing's body trembled, he shrugged his shoulders, and said calmly:

“To give birth without possessing, to act without relying on one’s own power, to nurture without dominating – this is called profound virtue.”

“You demons and gods, you were born and raised here, yet you regard the heavens and the universe, and even all sentient beings, as your own private property. When calamity comes, you still do not repent and insist on transcending it. How can you possibly succeed?”

The Immortal God-King's massive form slowly dissipated, but he raised his head, gazing towards the location of the Eternal Emperor, and murmured to himself:

"To give birth without possessing, to act without claiming credit, to nurture without dominating... to nurture without dominating, hahahaha, so this is the right path?!"

In the end, the Immortal God-King went mad, laughing incessantly.

The Immortal God-King's laughter abruptly ceased, his expression calm and composed, showing no sign of madness. He gazed at Xu Xing and the Longevity Emperor seated in the Land of Origin, and uttered only one sentence:
"Heaven and earth gave me life and gave me thought, so how can I sit idly by and wait for death when calamity strikes?"

Xu Xing nodded in agreement:
"It is certainly not wrong to try to be a mantis trying to fight rather than a starving corpse, but since you are not as skilled as others and have ended up in this situation, do not blame heaven or others."

"Blame others?"

The Immortal God-King chuckled, offering no reply, but simply said:

"I have no regrets about losing to you."

Xu Xing said calmly:
"I told you, I would make sure you died a worthy death."

Having said that, he flicked his sleeve and headed towards the shattered Nine Abyss Divine Realm.

The colossal immortal god-king shattered completely into stardust, slowly drifting away like a brilliant galaxy, becoming a breathtaking backdrop behind Xu Xing. (End of Chapter)
