Loan Wusheng

Although the land of the Northern Rong is bitterly cold, there is no snowfall in the summer.

Only the two high mountains of the Northern Rong might be covered in frost, causing frost to fall in June.

Now, above the Northern Rong, lead-gray clouds surge like giant beasts, and blizzards, accompanied by biting winds, sweep across thousands of miles.

Amidst the strange phenomenon of frost in June, the herdsmen were horrified to see a thousand-foot-tall dragon shadow appearing and disappearing between the clouds. With each sway of its pitch-black body covered in bone spurs, it caused snow mountains to collapse and glaciers to overflow.

The illusory image of the Purple-Gold Emperor confronting them terrified them even more. Each jade string hanging from the twelve-tasseled crown seemed to weigh a ton, causing the entire sky to groan under its unbearable weight.

"May the Eternal Heaven protect us, protect us..."

The old shaman's bone staff trembled and broke. He knelt before the yurt, his forehead pressed against the frost-covered grass, shivering and filled with fear, as if praying to the gods within him to appease this divine wrath.

The children of the tribe behind them were so frightened that they forgot to cry out and just stared blankly at the two god-like figures in the sky.

All the people of the Northern Rong tribe were terrified, completely unaware of what was happening.

I don't know why such a strange phenomenon suddenly appeared above the dome.

Could it be divine punishment sent down from the Eternal Heaven?

For a time, the people of the Northern Rong tribes felt as if they had been punished by heaven.

However, the situation was quite different within the Khan's tent in the Northern Rong region.

Unlike the ignorant people of the tribe, how many skilled warriors were there in the Northern Rong Khan's camp? There were even five Yuan Dan Martial Saints.

It is precisely because of this that the Northern Rong have always been a major threat to the Central Plains dynasties, constantly fighting each other in Yunzhou.

Of course, the root cause was that Emperor Shenwu did not take action.

The Khan of the Northern Rong sat upright in his golden tent, the silver cup inlaid with jewels in his hand creaking as he squeezed it, the wine dripping from his fingers onto the wolf-skin carpet.

His face was as hard as iron, with veins bulging on his forehead. His eagle eyes were fixed on the turbulent celestial phenomena outside the tent, and the two figures tearing through the sky were reflected in his pupils.

His eyes were filled with resentment and hatred.

He was very familiar with these two images.

One of them is the 'Hanlongjun', which has been held by the Great Sage of the Overturning Sea and has been worshipped by the Northern Rong for many years!
The other one is the 'Lord of the World' Dharma form that the Northern Rong Khan has been plotting for a long time, believing that he may become the first Khan of the Northern Rong to enter the Central Plains!
In fact, the Northern Rong Khan has already fulfilled the three conditions of taking elixirs, refining weapons, and establishing altars in recent years, and only needs to absorb the ley lines of the thirty prefectures!

But now, the Dharma form of the 'Lord of the World' has been condensed.

It was only a few years after the death of the Divine Martial Emperor; the speed of this transition can even be described as seamless!

This made the Northern Rong Khan somewhat uncomfortable.

From the moment he broke through to the Yuan Dan realm more than two hundred years ago, the Khan of the Northern Rong had already begun to plan and strategize. He was waiting for the death of the Great Zhou Divine Martial Emperor so that he would be fully prepared and take advantage of the internal strife in the Central Plains to make a decisive move, take control of the Central Plains, and condense the Dharma Image of the 'Lord of the World'!
But now, a Dharma image of the 'Lord of the World' has actually appeared in the Central Plains!
In that instant, the Khan of the Northern Rong felt a mix of emotions, as if he were a clown, and his two-hundred-year plan seemed to have been utterly useless.

At this moment, the other four Yuan Dan Martial Saints in the tent were also speechless, not knowing what to say, and could only silently feel the pressure from the two Dharma images above the sky.

After a long silence, the Northern Rong Khan slowly opened his mouth and asked, "When...when did the Central Plains return to unity?"

This is what the Northern Rong Khan most wants to know.

He hadn't received any intelligence whatsoever regarding the unification of the Central Plains!
With the passing of the Divine Martial Emperor, the Dharma Image of the 'Lord of the World' is vacant. Only the one who unifies the Central Plains can condense this Dharma Image of the 'Lord of the World'.

Now, the Dharma image of the 'Lord of the World' is right in front of him, which shows that the Central Plains has been unified!

How could I be completely unaware of such important news?

This only proves one thing.

There are bad people within the Northern Rong.

That bad person wants to frame and harm me!
Therefore, they deliberately concealed the news of the unification of the Central Plains!

Upon realizing this, the Khan of the Northern Rong's eyes flashed with killing intent. He glanced around at the other four Yuan Dan Martial Saints of the Northern Rong present, secretly wondering who was trying to trick him.

Someone must have tampered with it!

It's impossible that the person who fought against the Great Sage of Overturning the Sea possessed incredible strength and could condense the Dharma form of the "Lord of the World" without unifying the world, right?

how can that be!

Someone must be trying to harm me!

After hearing the words of the Northern Rong Khan, the other four Yuan Dan Martial Saints also fell silent.

Even a hint of surprise appeared on his face.

after all……

They also did not receive news of the unification of the Central Plains.

Although news from the Northern Rong was blocked, they still knew about the great war in the Central Plains, the four kings of Qi, Wei, Han and Yue fighting against Emperor Yongchang in Qingzhou, the Han regime in Guanzhong was stable, and the Xiao Liang and Lu Meng regimes in the south were in a state of separatism.

The world was clearly divided into four parts.

The Han, Zhou, Liang, and Wu dynasties, plus some fragmented and incomprehensible small regimes.

Therefore, the four Yuan Dan Martial Saints were exactly as shocked as the Northern Rong Khan when they saw the Dharma form of the 'Lord of the World' appear.

What's happening here?
The Central Plains are not yet unified, are they?

Just last month, I inquired about the situation in the Central Plains. At that time, the world was still divided and the feudal lords were fighting each other.

How could a 'ruler of the world' appear in just one month?
Did we all travel through time?
Or did this holder of the 'Lord of the World' Dharma form only take a month to sweep across the six directions and conquer the eight wastelands with overwhelming power?

Or is it that someone has mastered a method to gather the Dharma image of the 'Lord of the World' without unifying the world?

No matter how you look at it, it doesn't make sense!
All the Yuan Dan Martial Saints in Bei Rong were puzzled, some even scratching their heads in confusion, completely unlike their usual domineering demeanor. They couldn't figure out why, no matter how hard they tried.

"Sweat!"

Just then, a shaman at the fourth level of the Qi Refining Realm stepped forward and said to the several Yuan Dan Martial Saints who were still puzzled, "Those...those two fought fiercely in the high heavens, causing a great snowstorm. Our Northern Rong was already suffering from reduced production, and now...now..."

The shaman hadn't finished speaking, but everyone present understood his meaning.

The extraordinary phenomena that have occurred since the battle between the Dharma True Lord and the Heavenly Realm have been so immense that they have naturally caused changes in the wind direction of the entire region.

It was like the torrential, incessant rain that fell in the capital during the time of the founding of the People's Republic of China.

Now that they have arrived in the Northern Rong, the battle between the Great Sage Who Overturns the Seas and the Emperor of the Great Han will naturally take place along the two most famous mountain ranges in the Northern Rong.

With the wind and snow raging, the Northern Rong people would naturally experience another reduction in production.

The consequences would be unimaginable.

"so what."

Upon hearing the shaman's words, the Northern Rong Khan's expression turned particularly displeased. He raised his eyes to look at the speaker and said coldly, "Do you want me to persuade those two to stop fighting?"

If he had that ability, would he have been sitting in his tent watching the battle?

This old bastard, does he want me dead?!

Upon realizing this, the Northern Rong Khan's expression turned even more hostile, his eyes blazing with fury.

Upon sensing the terrifying aura of the Northern Rong Khan, the old shaman who had spoken immediately turned pale.

He also realized that he seemed to have said the wrong thing.

Fortunately, the Northern Rong Khan's anger was only momentary, and he quickly realized that the shaman in front of him did not really want to harm him, but had just made a foolish mistake.

As a peak Yuan Dan martial artist, he was indeed one of the top experts when his Dharma Form was not activated.

But even such a master is like a toy in front of the Dharma Image True Lord, and is of no use whatsoever.

It's understandable that the Khan of the Northern Rong chose to fight in the Northern Rong region.

After all, the 'Lord of the World' can manipulate the earth's veins.

"Ugh."

The Northern Rong Khan sighed deeply and continued, "So be it, so be it... When Dharma Aspect True Lords clash, no one can stop them; this is a natural disaster."

"Let the people of all tribes suffer, and let the Khan bear the blame."

After saying this, the Northern Rong Khan stopped talking and looked up at the figure in the clouds outside the Khan's tent.

These two Dharma Image True Lords were not fighting directly above their heads, but the aftershocks of their battle enveloped the entire Northern Rong, allowing every tribe in the Northern Rong to feel this powerful and surging energy.

This situation captivated the Northern Rong Khan, but also dimmed his expression.

The Dharma image, which has been in preparation for two hundred years, now has a master.

He had no choice but to change his career path.

But if he has been preparing for this for a long time and now turns to other Dharma forms, will he still have time to cultivate another Dharma form?

……

High in the sky, the shadows of dragons intersect.

The moment the thousand-foot-tall dragon shadow collided with the purple-gold emperor's image, the entire Yanshan mountain range trembled.

The true dragon formed from the Dharma image behind the Great Sage Overturning the Sea has already made its move. Its twelve twisted dragon claws tore open the sky, and the dark blue Netherfire transformed into a monstrous wave that poured down!

That was no ordinary flame, but the 'Mysterious Dragon Breath' that had been forged from the extreme cold of the North Sea and the resentment of the dragon race. Wherever it passed, even space itself was frozen into a ferocious thorny ice crystal.

The Great Sage Who Overturned the Seas is now free and unrestrained.

He wanted to achieve the ultimate sublimation, to burn brightly once!
Fight to your heart's content!

"Zheng Jun!" The Great Sage of the Overturning Seas roared, shattering the snowstorm for miles around. He laughed arrogantly, "Let's see how much of the earth's power you, the new ruler of the world, can borrow!"

After numerous battles, he had confirmed that Zheng Jun was not the Divine Martial Emperor of the Zhou Dynasty.

The Great Sage of the Overturning Seas has come to terms with this act of forming a Dharma form without unifying the world.

It is definitely a Dao Lord from another realm, but it is unknown what methods this Dao Lord has that allow him to transcend the earth's veins and condense this 'Lord of the World' Dharma Image.

Faced with the overwhelming, frigid dragon breath, the 'Lord of the World' Dharma Image behind Zheng Jun merely raised the National Guardian Sword lightly.

Before the sword was even touched, the phantom image of the Nine Cauldrons had already appeared in the void.

Zheng Jun remained calm, his eyes like cold stars. As an emperor who had condensed the Dharma form of the 'Lord of the World', he stood with his hands behind his back facing the overwhelming dragon breath cold tide. His purple and gold robes fluttered in the gale, and when he opened his mouth, his voice was like the law of heaven: "A mere cold tide, does it dare to shake me?"

"As the Son of Heaven, I shall suppress all enemies in the world!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Purple Star Emperor's Qi erupted fiercely, the frozen void suddenly twisted, and the Xuanming Dragon Breath, which should have submerged the Imperial Dao Dharma Image, strangely split away.

Half of the Xuanming Dragon Breath was swallowed by the Nine Cauldrons in front of the Dharma Image, while the rest turned around and surged towards the Great Sage Overturning the Sea!

The Lord of All Under Heaven is so domineering!

After all, "all land under heaven belongs to the king, and all people within the borders are his subjects."

The Great Sage of the Overturning Seas' dragon eyes suddenly shrank, and his thousand-foot-long dragon body suddenly coiled into an array. His twelve dragon claws intertwined and formed a seal, condensing into a giant ice crystal shield engraved with ancient dragon patterns in front of him.

"boom!"

The rebounded Xuanming Dragon Breath collided with the ice shield, exploding into a sky full of dark blue ice shards.

Black blood seeped from the gaps in the scales of the Great Sage Who Overturns the Sea, yet he laughed wildly and shattered the ice shield. With a sweep of his dragon tail, he tore open a spatial rift that stretched across the sky: "What a 'Lord of the World'! What a 'Emperor of Han'! Qingxu and Nanshan should be satisfied, but I have a question. May I ask which Dao Lord you are, and why you chose to be born into this world?"

The wind and snow suddenly stopped.

The Great Sage of the Overturning Seas maintained his thousand-foot-tall Dharma form, while he himself transformed into a heroic man wearing a black dragon robe.

He stood at the edge of the spatial rift, a golden vertical mark on his forehead slowly splitting open to reveal a blood-red dragon pearl pulsating within. He opened his mouth and said, "When I roamed the Seven Seas, I glimpsed the Heavens Beyond the Heavens, but I am utterly ignorant of your methods. May I ask whether you come from 'Luo Tian' or 'Xuan Huang'?!"

Zheng Jun's purple-gold imperial aura paused slightly.

What about Luo Tian and Xuanhuang?

I dont understand.

Although Zheng Jun didn't know what Luo Tian and Xuan Huang were, he wasn't stupid. He could tell that Luo Tian and Xuan Huang must be other worlds outside the heavens.

That's right, other worlds.

While in Shenjing, Zheng Jun had been hearing the Great Sage of the Overturning Sea talk about being a "reincarnated Dao Lord," and Zheng Jun vaguely sensed that something was amiss.

It seems that even after reaching the Dharma Form stage, I am not yet in a state of endlessness; there is still room for improvement.

For example, the 'Dao Master' they mentioned.

It seems to be a higher realm of Dharma.

However, Zheng Jun still needs to think about how to answer the question posed by the Great Sage Overturning the Sea.

Zheng Jun still wanted to get more information from the Great Sage of the Overturning Sea.

after all……

From a certain perspective, I am indeed a visitor from outer space, not a person of this world.

Therefore, Zheng Jun was still very curious about the scenery of the outer heavens.

If the Great Sage Who Overturns the Seas could answer one or two questions, Zheng Jun wouldn't mind sparing his life.

After all, a damaged Dharma image wouldn't cause much of a ripple for Zheng Jun.

Moreover, this Great Sage Who Overturned the Seas has already explained the cause and effect.

It was Qingxu and Nanshan who sent him to test them.

As for who Qingxu and Nanshan are... Zheng Jun could naturally guess.

Venerable Qingxu Wanfa, Venerable Shennong of Nanshan!
"What do 'Xuanhuang' and 'Luotian' mean?"

Withdrawing his thoughts, Zheng Jun slowly opened his mouth and gave the Great Sage of the Overturning Sea an answer that was unexpected.

Upon hearing Zheng Jun's answer, the Great Sage of the Overturning Seas was clearly stunned for a moment, somewhat incredulous.

Is he not the reincarnation of the Dao Lord from beyond the realm?
The Xuanhuang and Luotian realms are the two worlds closest to this world. If a Dao Lord from another realm is reincarnated, it is highly likely that he or she will come from these two realms.

However, what the Great Sage of Overturning the Seas did not expect was that Zheng Jun did not come from these two external realms, which surprised the Great Sage of Overturning the Seas.

However, this does not prove that Zheng Jun is not the reincarnation of a Daoist master from another realm.

After all, the Outer Heavens are incredibly vast. It's just that the Great Sage Overturning the Seas has limited knowledge and only knows that there are two other realms outside the Outer Heavens: Luo Tian and Xuan Huang. What if Zheng Jun, this Dao Lord, comes from another realm outside the Outer Heavens that he doesn't recognize?
Seeing this, the Great Sage Overturning the Seas let out a long roar, and a smile appeared on his face, which was highly similar to that of the Divine Martial Emperor: "If you want to know, then defeat me first!"

Having said that, the Great Sage Who Overturns the Seas made his move once again!
Before the long roar subsided, the sea in the eastern part of the Northern Rong suddenly surged violently, and the dark seawater exploded into towering waves!

A deep, rumbling sound came from the depths of the North Sea, as if the entire ocean had been lifted up by an invisible hand, and the surging heavy waters transformed into a dark blue curtain that blotted out the sky, rushing toward the battlefield.

"Zheng Jun!"

The dragon pearl on the forehead of the Great Sage Who Overturns the Seas' Dharma Image surged with blood-red light, and twelve dragon claws simultaneously pierced the void, opening its mouth to say: "Today I will show you the true 'Boundless Vast Ocean'!"

The heavy waters of Beihai and the raging waves of the Northeast Sea intertwined in the air to form tens of thousands of waterspouts, each with a ferocious dragon shadow emerging from within it.

These dragon shadows roared and pounced on Zheng Jun, distorting and swallowing even the light in their wake!

The 'Lord of the World' image behind Zheng Jun suddenly trembled, and the phantom of the Nine Cauldrons was dimmed by the heavy water.

"I have said it before, I am the Son of Heaven, and I shall suppress all enemies in the world!"

After frowning slightly, Zheng Jun couldn't help but sneer and suddenly pressed down with his right hand.

In an instant, the earth's veins resonated throughout the nine provinces of China!

Nine dazzling pillars of light shot into the sky from Shenjing, Zhili, Guanzhong, Lanzhou, Bozhou, and beyond, converging above the clouds to form a giant purple-gold dragon that stretches across the heavens and earth.

The dragon's scales and claws were clearly defined, with each scale engraved with a map of the prefectures and counties, and its horns were made up of densely packed phantom images of cities!

"hold head high--!"

The golden dragon collided violently with the heavy waters of the North Sea, and the resulting shockwave tore the clouds to shreds for miles around.

In the northern Rong region, snow-capped mountains collapsed in large sections, and the permafrost cracked open into bottomless ravines. The herders who were kneeling and praying were horrified to see the spectacular sight of stars hanging upside down briefly in the sky above them!
The Great Sage Who Overturned the Seas' dragon robe was torn to shreds by the shockwave, revealing his true form covered in bone spurs.

The Great Sage Who Overturned the Seas did not dodge at all, but took a step forward, and the waters of the East Sea and the North Sea were actually suspended upside down in the sky, vast and boundless!
At that moment, the Great Sage of the Overturning Seas stretched out his palm and pointed at the void. In an instant, a crack was torn open in the starry sky that was surrounded by the East Sea and the North Sea, and on the other side was the void.

After finishing, the Great Sage Overturning the Seas exhaled and said to Zheng Jun, "Emperor Han, during our battle just now, I temporarily created a stable gap. By crossing this gap, we can enter this outer heaven."

Upon hearing this, Zheng Jun looked up at the gap.

On the other side of the crevice, a powerful and violent shockwave filled the air.

Zheng Jun estimated that if a martial artist below the Qi Opening stage entered, they would instantly turn into blood.

However, martial artists who have mastered the Qi-opening techniques will die after persisting for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

Even a Yuan Dan Martial Saint could survive for half a day, but still could not escape death.

Only by relying on the Dharma Image to resist this shockwave can one walk freely in this crack.

"This is the Outer Heavens?"

Zheng Jun was somewhat surprised. As a newly appointed Dharma Master, he indeed knew very little about the things that only Dharma Masters understood.

The Great Sage of the Overturning Sea nodded, then flipped his hand and pressed down to close the gap. He then said in a deep voice, "There are many powerful beings wandering in the Outer Heavens, whose strength is no less than that of a Dharma Aspect. If they find a gap and crawl into it, our world will have another one to devour."

"If this rift is kept open for too long and discovered by the Dao Lord of the outer realm, the entire world will likely become nourishment for him. Therefore, this rift must not be opened easily. I only occasionally peek into the outer heavens through the rift."

The Great Sage Who Overturns the Seas opened his mouth and spoke.

Although he and Zheng Jun are rivals, it doesn't prevent them from exchanging ideas.

Back then, Emperor Shenwu was almost killed by the Great Sage Fuhai, but later, when discussing the breakthrough of the 'Lord of the World' to the Dao Lord, the two were still able to sit down and have a heart-to-heart talk.

The same is true today.

Although we still have to fight later, it doesn't affect forming good relationships at this time.

After all, there are still children and descendants in the world, so it's hard to let go of them no matter what.

Without becoming the Dao Lord and controlling the Great Dao of this world, how can one be ruthless?

Zheng Jun nodded slightly upon hearing this.

It seems that the path ahead for Faxiang is quite complex and even more dangerous.

Zheng Jun exhaled and looked up at the Great Sage Overturning the Sea, then said, "Great Sage Overturning the Sea, not bad."

"However, since you have come to kill me because you were destined to be the nemesis of Master Qingxu Wanfa and Venerable Shennong of Nanshan, I will not hold back."

Zheng Jun said, "Let me be the one to execute you. After I kill you, I will grant the North Sea Dragon Clan a pardon as appropriate."

Upon hearing Zheng Jun's words, the Great Sage Overturning the Seas took a deep breath and chuckled softly: "The outcome is still uncertain. My reputation for dominating the four seas is not undeserved!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a massive flood swept across the sky as if the heavens were collapsing! (End of Chapter)
