Perfect World: Start by traveling to the Wuwang Mansion

Chapter 283 The Ten Realms Map

Shi Qingyun felt the immense power surging within his body; a casual strike could shatter the heavens and the earth, annihilating the void.

His body trembled, and a divine halo materialized behind him, emitting strands of brilliant golden divine light that illuminated his physical body, making it flawless.

Strands of Yin and Yang energies swirled around his body, their energy drawing upon the Great Dao, and his eyes were shrouded in a hazy, chaotic light.

As he slowly raised his hand, the entire sky trembled involuntarily.

Points of world power slowly emerged from his fingertips, and when he pointed them at the Myriad Trees behind him, the trembling void fell silent.

The power of the world vanished instantly, like a fish entering the sea, and merged into the body of the Myriad Dao Tree.

As this wisp of world power merged in, the gnarled bark of the Myriad Paths Tree slowly began to writhe, revealing a strange and mysterious secret.

The light emanating from the tree became even more dazzling, and the Dao patterns imprinted on the plump fruits became clearer.

The branches and leaves rustled, as if they were enjoying themselves.

As the branches swayed, more light fell down, surging towards Shi Qingyun and quickly merging into his body.

He took a deep breath, the divine light in his eyes slowly receded, and his domineering aura subsided.

Bring two fingers together, make a sword shape, and swing it forward.

A chilling sword intent shot out from his fingertips, influencing the great laws of this world and merging into the sword light, tearing through the sky as if to cleave the heavens and earth.

"boom--"

With a flash of bright light, a huge spatial rift appeared in front of him.

"Is this the Dao of Emptiness? Using one's own Dao to invoke the Great Dao of the outside world, this feels really good."

With a flick of his sleeve, the space beneath his feet surged, and he vanished from his spot in a flash, leaving only the healing spatial rift behind.

Wuming turned around and saw Shi Qingyun hanging behind him. The surprise in his eyes slowly disappeared.

"I underestimated your talent!"

"Both the physical body and the Great Dao have embarked on the path of transcendence."

His eyes held both amazement and regret, and he was somewhat worried about Shi Qingyun's future.

"The road is made by walking. I should encourage myself to take the first step on the path to heaven."

"I am leaving now, but I will surely come to keep my promise when I reach the heavens."

Shi Qingyun's eyes were full of confidence as he spoke earnestly to Wuming.

Upon hearing this, Wuming paused for a moment, then nodded and said to him:
"Then I will wait here for you to arrive, fellow Daoist!"

Shi Qingyun smiled, his figure flashed like lightning, and the space behind him surged like water. As soon as he stepped into it, he disappeared from the spot.

Watching his disappearing gaze, Wuming murmured to his mount, which had come to his side:

Tell me, was my decision right or wrong?

On the other side

Shi Qingyun strolled leisurely across the crimson earth, his figure appearing hundreds of miles away with each step.

A red figure could be seen constantly moving through the void.

From afar, one could see the domineering warship standing tall in the void, emanating a strong aura of slaughter that resonated through the air.

Shi Qingyun's worries eased somewhat, and she quickened her pace.

"boom--"

Just then, the dim and gloomy void suddenly cracked open, and a Dao diagram covered with Dao patterns and exuding rich spatial power slowly floated out from the spatial crack.

Shi Qingyun felt an extremely strong sense of pressure descend upon her, and her knees involuntarily bent slightly.

As he watched the chaotic energy surge and the Dao diagram reveal terrifying phenomena, his pupils involuntarily contracted.

Within his body, twinkling starlight began to rise from the stars, and a wisp of stellar power emanated from it, slowly enveloping his body.

It shielded him from the terrifying suppressive force that descended from the void.

The instant that image appeared, countless beams of light began to rumble in the sky, and the deep, distant heavens changed.

Crimson light swept across the land, and a terrifying divine might emanated from it, resisting the intrusion of the diagram.

The Third Elder's figure shot out from the warship, followed closely by the elders of the Holy Academy and the Immortal Academy, who formed Dao seals with their hands.

The void behind them shattered, and a long cloth stained with crimson blood shot out, confronting the diagram head-on.

As soon as Shi Qingyun returned to the battlefield, the witch rushed over. Seeing that he was safe and sound, tears welled up in her eyes.

"I'm fine, what's going on?"

At this moment, Shi Hao and the others also gathered around, looking at the two Dao artifacts that were clashing in the void, and everyone's expressions were somewhat ugly.

"The Ten Realms Map! It's rumored to be a treasure from an ancient land beyond the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, and it's actually appeared here!"

"The Ten Realms Map can travel between world planes, so it seems the visitors are up to no good."

"Who is that?"

Turning their gaze over, they saw several figures slowly emerging on the Ten Realms Map, their imposing aura even across the divide between heaven and earth.

Everyone felt a killing intent that penetrated to the bone.

A middle-aged man at the head of the Ten Realms Map slowly swept his cold eyes over Shi Qingyun and the others, revealing a look of disdain.

He addressed the Third Elder:

"The people of the Nine Heavens are becoming more and more useless. This is the future of the Nine Heavens."

"I see no hope whatsoever; I have already witnessed the destruction of the heavens."

"Why don't you just hand over this land to us?"

Upon hearing this, the Third Elder remained expressionless, gazing at the man shrouded in chaotic energy, and spoke calmly:

"The affairs of the Nine Heavens are not for you to judge. Your sudden attack today, are you preparing for war?"

Those who offend my heavens, though far away, shall be punished!

Upon hearing this, a scene of stars fading and disappearing faintly appeared behind the man, who then sneered at the Third Elder and the others:

"Start a war? Hide yourselves in the Imperial Pass, have you forgotten how hard you struggled to survive? What right do you have to say such a thing!"

"I've come here today to see the true worth of the so-called geniuses of the Nine Heavens. No need for further discussion, let's begin the arena battle."

The Third Elder frowned, clearly seeing through their intentions.

"To crush the younger generation and shatter their Dao hearts is to dismantle them from the root!"

"Then let's fight."

His gaze swept over the many young faces of the Nine Heavens' prodigies behind him, and a hint of determination appeared in his eyes.

"In the arena battles, there is only death; the victor lives, and the loser never returns!"

Upon hearing this, the man hesitated for a moment, but the several elegantly dressed and distinguished men and women behind him immediately showed disdain.

He showed no fear whatsoever, and his fighting spirit was overwhelming.

"Old Xu, they're just a bunch of worthless scoundrels, why worry about them?"

"It's perfect to use their blood to demonstrate the might of our race!"

Upon hearing this, the leading man couldn't help but chuckle. He waved his hand in front of him, and a terrifying aura surged through the void. Then, a dazzling light shot out from the Ten Realms Map. Boom—

The light pierced through layers of heaven and earth, broke through the barriers of the world, and directly carved a deep chasm in the sky.

It quickly descended into the endless void, and under the intertwining of the laws of order, it rapidly evolved, creating a huge arena in no time.

Runes flickered on the arena, with powerful and forbidden runes flashing, and the black and gold arena shimmering with an immortal luster.

Behind the man, several young men and women leaped into the arena.

The elders from the Holy Academy who had followed them slowly appeared above Shi Qingyun and the others, and told them what had just happened.

"This battle has extraordinary significance for you, for the academy, and even for the Nine Heavens."

"With the other side holding us back, we can't provide timely assistance and are in constant danger of losing our lives. We must think twice before acting!"

After speaking, the Holy Elder stood suspended in the void, awaiting their choice.

Upon hearing this, the disciples below exchanged bewildered glances.

After hearing about the opponent's formidable strength, many people began to have second thoughts, especially some cultivators who knew about the situation in the other realm.

His face was full of solemnity, and he couldn't lift his foot no matter how hard he tried.

"Let's fight if we want."

"Since I haven't been tainted by foreign blood, let's have some fun today!"

As Shi Qingyun took a step forward, the roars of dragons and tigers echoed behind him, striking the hearts of many disciples like a heavy hammer blow.

This gradually solidified his wavering resolve.

After calming the witch down with a telepathic message, Shi Qingyun took a step forward and appeared in front of the elder.

Immediately after Shi Qingyun spoke, Shi Hao, the Immortal, the Ten-Crown King, the Little Heavenly King, and others appeared beside Shi Qingyun in a flash.

Shi Hao walked over, patted her on the shoulder, and joked:
"Hey kid, don't think you can show off all by yourself!"

The immortal also revealed a smile and said:

"Brother Dao, the last battle was not yet decided. After this battle, we must have another one."

The ten-time crown emperor also glanced over and said calmly:

"My World Tree needs their blood to nourish it!"

Upon seeing this, Shi Qingyun's lips curled up slightly, and his eyes flashed with divine light, piercing through layers of space as he looked at the unruly foreign genius.

Seeing this, the elder of the Holy Academy remained expressionless, but inwardly he was quite satisfied.

With a flick of his sleeve, Shi Qingyun and the others slowly disappeared from the spot.

They felt a sudden dizziness, and when they opened their eyes again, they found themselves on the arena.

"Finally chosen, so who will be sent to their death?"

"She really is so frail!"

"Is this what cultivators from the Nine Heavens are like? They are truly disappointing."

"After all this time, is it just these few useless people?"

As soon as Shi Qingyun and his group appeared, the foreign cultivators began to mock and ridicule them, their eyes filled with disdain.

However, the divine power within his body slowly began to circulate, and he also felt a terrifying pressure from Shi Qingyun and the others.

Shi Hao slowly twisted his joints and took a step forward, his eyes filled with fighting spirit and killing intent.

"So it's you? Your so-called prodigies are utterly ridiculous!"

During their verbal exchange, neither side gave an inch, and the atmosphere quickly became heated.

Shi Qingyun stood with his hands behind his back in the void, the divine light in his eyes slowly dissipating, having gained a general understanding of the strength of the cultivators from other realms.

"There are so many people at the Void Dao Realm, it's truly terrifying!"

His expression was somewhat solemn as he looked at the constantly shouting foreign cultivators, his eyes blazing with fighting spirit.

"Let the battle begin!"

With a booming sound, two Immortal King artifacts that had been colliding in the void emitted a dazzling light and landed on the arena.

Runes imbued with the power of sealing drifted through the void, scattering countless rays of light, making it impossible for outsiders to intervene.

The moment this sound rang out, Shi Hao took the lead, his long sword appearing in his hand, radiating a blood-red light and tearing through the void.

It swiftly slashed at a man who also carried a long sword and exuded an aura of illusory power.

"I am a royal prodigy; to fight would be tantamount to courting death."

Upon hearing this, Shi Hao did not reply. He swung his sword, instantly annihilating the void in front of him. The destructive force of the strike was aimed directly at the opponent's head.

"Bam—"

A tremendous roar erupted between the two, and terrifying shockwaves vibrated the void.

The battle started instantly.

The others followed suit, each targeting their own opponents, and the tense situation instantly descended into chaos.

The Immortal's Fallen Song resounded across the battlefield, causing the void to tremble and disrupting the order of the Great Dao. The sound of wind howled, and terrifying sound waves instantly bombarded towards him.

The ten-time champion remained calm and composed, striding forward with the powerful stride of a dragon and the swiftness of a tiger. With a single wave of his World Tree, he unleashed a devastating attack, causing worlds to rise and fall, shattering space itself. The World Tree, carrying immense power, hurtled forward.

The aftershocks of the battle continued to wash over and bombard the runes, causing them to flicker.

Shi Qingyun watched the battle unfold before him. He simply stood in the void, and although his aura did not dissipate, it was so oppressive that the surrounding space trembled.

"Aren't you going to make a move? You've got some patience!"

"If you don't want the chance I gave you, then you don't need to come out!"

After speaking, Shi Qingyun's aura changed, Dao patterns faintly appeared on his body, and the Great Dao resounded around him.

He clenched his right fist and suddenly threw a punch behind him.

His fist shook mountains and rivers, causing space to tremble.

The fist tore through the void and imprinted itself firmly in the void behind it, unleashing a tremendous force.

"Boom—Crack—"

The space beneath his fist shattered inch by inch. The power of that punch directly blasted a dark void that took a long time to heal.

As a result of this attack, a figure fell directly out of the space.

Dressed in white, with a pair of vertical eyes that radiate a cold, chilling light, he slashed through the air with a silver-white dagger in his hand.

"The Void Beast Clan's leader was actually found by this person?"

"Who is he?"

On the Ten Realms Map, behind that man, some young prodigies were all shocked to see this scene.

It should be noted that the Void Beast race is born with the ability to manipulate space, hiding in the void, and almost no one of the same level can detect their whereabouts.

However, it seemed that Shi Qingyun had already seen the Void Beast's figure from the very beginning.
