From the Ming Dynasty, we will conquer the world

After Xu Xing finished speaking, he ignored the gazes of "Tai" and the Daoist of Creation, and stepped upwards. The void condensed into layers of steps for him to climb.

Although each step Xu Xing took did not increase the absolute altitude by much, the former leaders of the Central World who had always been paying attention to this place felt a jolt in their hearts.

They saw Xu Xing suddenly appear in various places of the origin after taking this step. Although he was only a fragmented silhouette or even a blurry outline, he gave people a sense of infinite extension.

This step forward has clearly transcended the conventional view of time and space, reaching a level that transcends the four directions and eight corners, and even the long river of time.

The leaders followed these figures with their eyes, and gradually a mighty river appeared before them, its origin and destination unknown, a billion times more brilliant than the Milky Way, endless and infinitely bright.

Everyone can see their own reflection in this long river, the past, the present, and the future. This is time, which stretches across the ages and has no beginning or end!

The most striking scene was when Xu Xing killed the Immortal God King, causing this source of the Great Dao to perish completely, his body and soul annihilated.

Since ancient times, those who have cultivated to the point of shattering the vacuum have been extremely rare, countable on two hands, and none of them have ever been killed head-on by someone of the same level.

Even someone as powerful as the Eternal Emperor could only suppress the five Great God Kings, not annihilate them all.

Upon witnessing this scene, all the leaders were shocked and terrified, a profound and indescribable fear rising from the depths of their hearts.

Xu Xing had just suppressed the spirit of the Yang God. It could be said that these Holy Emperors had been suppressed by their sons for too long, and they only had remnant spirits without physical bodies, so their combat power was far inferior to before.

What a shocking scene it is to see a fully-powered "Vacuum Shattering" expert being killed in a head-on collision.

Not to mention these Nine Tribulation Ghost Immortals, even Yang Gods, or even Tai and Creation Daoists, had never witnessed this scene.

This is a scene that will be unforgettable, one that will be remembered for eternity and etched into the annals of time, never to fade.

Moreover, the one who died was not just anyone, but an immortal god-king. Even the Daoist of Creation couldn't help but become solemn.

He knew perfectly well that this scene represented a turning point in the destiny of heaven, where the river of time had diverged.

This also shows that the calamity at the end of the era and the changes in humanity that he predicted have indeed been completely disrupted by this person.

Upon realizing this, the Creator was not surprised but rather delighted.

The so-called creation is creation and evolution.

As the ancient sages said, "Now, if we take Heaven and Earth as a great furnace and Creation as a great forge, where can we not go?"

This single sentence encapsulates the path sought by the Daoist of Creation.

The Emperor of Immortality sought the exact opposite of him.

For him, immortality meant finding something eternal and unchanging amidst the impermanence of all things and the immutability of everything.

If there was no way to find this item, then the Emperor of Immortality wanted to try to use his great power to stop the entire world from moving.

In fact, the Longevity Secret Realm in the Nine Abyss Divine Realm was an attempt by the Longevity Emperor, who saw it as a possibility for achieving immortality.

The reason why Kong chose this place for seclusion is also because of this.

However, the Creator could never accept such a completely still, frozen, and silent world.

This is also the biggest point of contention between him and the Emperor of Immortality.

The Creation Daoist is pleased with the turmoil caused by Xu Xing, but although he is called a Daoist, his domineering nature surpasses even that of the Longevity Emperor.

Given his temperament, he couldn't possibly let this junior leave so easily.

The Daoist of Creation also stepped forward, his sleeves fluttering as he rose upwards, laughing loudly:
"What ambition, what spirit! Then let me, the venerable one, test your mettle and see just how capable you are, daring to be the first in the world!"

Although this supreme expert's figure was somewhat ethereal, he also transcended the long river of time. No matter how turbulent the river was, it could not touch him in the slightest, demonstrating his equally superb mastery of the Dao.

Xu Xing didn't care about the Creation Daoist's thoughts, but took another step, getting closer and closer to the golden bridge that spanned the long river.

Even the Emperor of Longevity on the bridge seemed to stir slightly, as if he were about to stand up to greet this fellow Daoist.

Unlike the Emperor of Longevity, who has survived from ancient times to the present, the Daoist of Creation has undergone a rebirth. Therefore, he is not at his peak, and his physical body and soul have some flaws, so he cannot keep up with Xu Xing's pace.

But he didn't take it to heart. After all, a battle is not just a contest of cultivation levels. In terms of foundation alone, he believed he was far superior to this junior. Only a fair battle would be a good one!
With a long roar, the Daoist of Creation caused countless layers of heaven and earth behind him to bloom like lotus flowers. In each layer of heaven and earth, countless deities manifested, controlling the universe and manipulating creation, all attacking Xu Xing.

Each of these deities, though slightly weaker than the ancient god-kings summoned by the Immortal God-King, was created by the Daoist of Creation, who manipulated reality and illusion, bringing them forth from nothingness, and causing them to perish as they came, making them even more mysterious and unpredictable.

Xu Xing neither dodged nor avoided, nor did he use any supernatural powers or techniques. He simply threw a punch horizontally, the intent of which hung in the air, magnificent and vast, like another long river of time, flowing endlessly, layer upon layer, as if it had been crashing down from ancient times.

Before the punch even truly landed in front of him, the countless worlds behind the Creation Daoist had already begun to shake and tremble violently, as if they were about to fall apart and shatter completely.

All sentient beings living there, whether gods or insects, perished in an instant.

A wave of annihilating aura emanated from the sky, and desperate cries echoed throughout the boundless void. The resentment of these beings before their deaths condensed into rolling blood clouds, and a fierce and malevolent aura soared into the sky, staining the universe red.

Although the Daoist of Creation loved to fight, he never fought a battle unprepared. Before making a move, he had already used divination to see through Xu Xing's experiences in this world and gained insight into some of his personality traits.

Looking at all the actions of this Pingtian Sect Leader since his birth, the Creation Daoist can be certain that although he has the power to destroy the world, he is not a person who is devoid of emotions and nature.

It could even be said that he possessed a great deal of compassion, perhaps because he had not been practicing for long enough, or perhaps because this was his path.

However, this is a weakness in any case, and with the experience of the Creation Daoist in combat, he will not let it go easily.

Xu Xing also knew that this was the way the Daoist of Creation tested his mind. If he felt pity, the Daoist would take advantage of his weakness and erode his mind, causing him to be plagued by demonic obstacles and making it difficult for him to advance his cultivation level.

Xu Xing had only intended to test his skills with this person before stopping, but seeing him use such methods, he couldn't help but get angry. He frowned, suddenly opened his fist, spread his five fingers wide, and grabbed at the Daoist of Creation in mid-air.

Suddenly, a blazing fire ignited within the thick blood cloud. Although it was only a wisp of fire at first, it quickly spread throughout the world, growing into a raging inferno!

Although most of the world scorched by flames was completely burned to ashes, a portion of it stubbornly survived and began a new round of rebirth.

This time, the deities and beings born from the primordial chaos, though seemingly the same as before, had an even more intense spiritual light in their eyes.

They began to observe the laws governing the world, searching for the existence known in the darkness as "Tao".

In the blink of an eye, countless eons have passed in the infinite heavens of the Creator. These beings gradually come to touch the existence of the world's origin. They begin to try to rebel against the will of heaven and replace the "Dao" to become the supreme being.

Such scenes appeared one after another. In the blink of an eye, the Creator felt that his connection with the heavens and the worlds was no longer seamless and inseparable, but rather had become somewhat sluggish.

Although it was only a tiny, almost imperceptible trace, it greatly affected the supernatural powers of the Creator.

Even though he took the initiative to restart these worlds, he could not completely eradicate the influence of that wisp of flame.

Because it is not some kind of real force, but more like a concept, or a fundamental law that has existed in the universe since the beginning of time.

This law is called, "The Great Derivation Number is fifty, its application is forty-nine."

In any case, there is always a way to escape within the Great Dao. What Xu Xing did was to use his fist intent to reveal this way of escaping to the beings in all the worlds, so that they would understand that there is a path to transcendence in the world.

Even if the possibility is extremely slim, the mere fact of "understanding" is enough to excite billions of living beings.

The Daoist of Creation was not angry; on the contrary, he was surprised and said:

"This is your Dao of Revolution, fellow Daoist. It is indeed profound and unpredictable, but to use it to subdue my true form is nothing but a pipe dream!"

With a push of his hands, the Creator Daoist conjured a giant wheel in front of him. The wheel slowly turned, forcibly cutting off a "tributary" from the River of Time and causing it to roll back, forming a "lake".

The lake seemed to hang before the Daoist of Creation, where the flow of time swirled and surged, like a vortex that blurred the light of the universe, causing past events to repeat themselves.

At this point, the billions of worlds are no longer destroyed and reborn, but have entered an infinite cycle. Under such circumstances, simply "understanding" is of no use.

Xu Xing immediately recognized that this was the origin of Hong Xuanji's "Wheel of Life and Death of All Heavens," but it was only when it was used by the Daoist of Creation that this move truly deserved to be called "Wheel of Life and Death of All Heavens"!
It's laughable that this Grand Tutor thought he was destined by Heaven and that all his martial arts skills were self-created, but he didn't know that he had only ever danced in the palm of others' hands all his life and had never had a single day of freedom.

The fates of all beings in the heavens and the myriad realms are in my hands!
The Creator was using this method to tell Xu Xing that this world was still in his hands, and no matter how talented or extraordinary those beings were, they could not transcend it.

Xu Xing's fist, which shattered everything and revealed the truth, was deflected by this section of "Lake of Cosmic Light," losing some of its force. It only caused the clothes of the Daoist of Creation to flutter, without causing any substantial damage.

Xu Xing sneered and took a step forward:
"Brother Dao's martial arts are unparalleled. If we only exchange blows like this, it will be a bit boring. Why not have a close-quarters battle?"

At their level of cultivation, battles can be described as ever-changing, or as a return to simplicity. This "distance" that transcends the scales of time and space has become an important resource that both sides must fight for.

The reason why the Longevity Emperor is so powerful is because he has reached the very end of time and can look down on all living beings. Every move he makes is in line with the trend of the times and is naturally irresistible.

The Creation Daoist and Xu Xing are currently on the same level in this dimension, but if they continue to exchange killing blows like this, they may not be able to determine a winner even if the era restarts and the Great Dao is destroyed.

Therefore, Xu Xing chose to charge directly, stepping on the river of time to kill the Creation Daoist, not to compete with him in pure supernatural martial arts, but to bring the battle into the realm of close combat.

The Creation Daoist was resurrected this time using the "seed of origin" left behind in the past. His foundation for survival was not the "shattered vacuum" body that he had painstakingly cultivated. He was not good at fighting, and if Xu Xing were to get close, he would definitely be at a disadvantage.

For this reason, he didn't reply at all. He simply reached out with his right hand and grabbed a ship from the void. The ship immediately turned into a streak of light and crashed into Xu Xing.

This is truly the "Boat of Creation"!
The Creator was well aware of his weaknesses after his resurrection, so he had prepared a backup plan, one of which was the "Boat of Creation".

However, this legendary artifact, renowned throughout the ages, is now riddled with holes. In the middle of the hull is a massive fist imprint with clearly defined knuckles, and the intent of the fist is extremely condensed, almost tangible, deeply rooted and intertwined.

Even a powerful expert at the seventh or eighth tribulation level would suffer damage to their soul if they merely swept their divine sense across the fist imprint, let alone expel it.

This was the trace left by the aftershocks of the Immortal God King's Fist Technique. Even though Yang Pan and Hong Xuanji were extraordinary, they were helpless and could only let the fist intent remain here.

However, with just a gentle flick of his wrist, the Creator Daoist completely banished the fist imprint, and the "Creation Ship" was completely renewed. The billions of runes flowing on it shone brilliantly, like blazing suns, illuminating the world and burning the starry sea!
At this moment, the Creation Ship fully unleashed its power as the king of divine artifacts, hailed as the "treasure of the other shore," and with the power to cross the sea of ​​suffering, it crashed into Xu Xing with a thunderous roar.

With the "Boat of Creation" as his spear and the "Lake of Cosmic Light" as his shield, the Daoist of Creation has now entered his most complete combat state, with impeccable offense and defense.

Even if the Emperor of Immortality came from the end of time, the Daoist of Creation was confident that he could receive him and suppress him!
Xu Xing didn't even throw a punch. He simply stepped on the "Boat of Creation" with his right foot, causing the billions of runes to dim instantly and the ship to shake violently, emitting bursts of bright light.

With a slow, forceful twist of his right foot, the "Boat of Creation" plunged into the river of time like a fiery meteor. Xu Xing then used the momentum to propel himself forward, crashing into the infinitely cyclical Lake of Time.

At the moment of impact, all the acupoints in Xu Xing's body resonated at the same frequency, generating an unparalleled power, which also carried the meaning of breaking through golden chains and soaring into the sky, unrestrained and without any taboos.

When the cosmic lake touched it, the originally swirling eddies immediately froze and came to a standstill, truly like a mottled bronze mirror.

Immediately afterwards, the entire mirror surface receded backward, unlike a mirror, but rather like some kind of highly malleable transparent crystal, gradually highlighting Xu Xing's figure.

A crack appeared around his body, extending outwards and outwards until the entire Lake of Light was completely shattered, leaving no obstacle on the way forward!
The Daoist of Creation was startled.

—How can this guy's physique be so robust?!
Although the Creator had witnessed Xu Xing's defeat of the Immortal God King in the long river of time, he never expected that Xu Xing's physical body would be so powerful.

Could it be that this person wasn't hiding their true abilities, but rather made a completely new breakthrough in a short period of time?!

In less than a moment, Xu Xing had completely pierced through the waist and abdomen of the Daoist of Creation, causing him to explode backward in a burst of crystal light.

His first instinct was to create distance, but Xu Xing grabbed his shoulder and pulled him back, delivering another devastating knee strike. His face was deeply caved in, and the back of his head exploded! (End of Chapter)
