Daqin Zhentiansi

The edges of the crack flowed with primordial yellow energy, chaotic blue light, and fierce sword energy that could end everything!

A will that did not belong to this world, vast, ancient, and unimaginably powerful, spread through the cracks!
This will carries the iron will of pioneering, the tenacity of protection, and a resolute determination to tear apart fate and forge ahead against nature!

"A sword mark?! It was cleaved by sword light!" Jin Yuelin Hou suddenly looked up, his face, which resembled that of a giant god, showing shock.

"This aura..." Ying Xian's pupils contracted sharply, and the jade sword in his hand trembled and vibrated. "It's...it's Marquis Qingyang!!!"

"Zhang Yuan! It's Zhang Yuan's sword!" Ying Rong suddenly looked up at the crack in the sky, his weary eyes flashing with a mixture of disbelief and ecstasy. "He succeeded?! What did he cut through?!"

"Lord Qingyang has arrived!" Sun Qi forced back the demon with his sword and looked excitedly at the sky.

"The Lord's sword light!" Countless Qin soldiers who had fought valiantly recognized the unique sword intent imprinted deep in their souls.

That was the will of Zhang Yuan, the Marquis of Qingyang, who led them to create countless miracles!

On the desperate battlefield, a deafening cheer suddenly erupted!
"Roar--!!!"

"Marquis Qingyang!!"

Within the crack, the ultimate sword light, which condensed all of Zhang Yuan's power, carried the will of the Great Qin Heavenly Dao, and was formed by the thirteen fierce swords, shone once more!

But it did not attack any demons. Instead, in the shocked gaze of all living beings, it churned the sky of Tongzhou like a giant axe that split the heavens!
"Boom—!!!"

With a deafening roar that shook the universe, the crack was completely torn open by the sword light, becoming a huge, irregular hole!
Beyond the hole lay not a deep void, but an indescribable phantom of a shattered earth, radiating an aura of endless primordial chaos!
The next second, under the gaze of countless horrified eyes—

A colossal, ancient fragment of a continent, imbued with a vast and boundless aura, carrying with it fragments of shattered laws and dense primordial energy, crashed down from the hole like a meteor from outer space!
It is not a physical collision, but more like an embedding and fusion at the primordial level!
The moment the continent landed, it did not cause a devastating impact. Instead, like a drop of water merging into the ocean, it instantly resonated with the shattered earth's essence in Tongzhou!
The entire Tongzhou area trembled violently, and the nearly depleted earth's dragon veins seemed to be injected with a stimulant, emitting a deep yet joyful dragon roar!

Immediately afterwards, from the core of the continental fragment, a dazzling emerald beam of light shot into the sky! Within the beam, the phantom of an unimaginably large tree rapidly solidified and grew!
The tree trunk, like a giant pillar supporting the heavens and the earth, is even more majestic than a mountain, with mysterious life runes and dark golden prison-suppressing Dao patterns flowing on it!

Hundreds of millions of branches, as if carved from jade, spread out instantly, covering the sky and the sun, and covering half of the battlefield within sight!
Each leaf flows with incomparably pure life force, radiating a primordial majesty that dispels all filth and evil!

"The... the Heavenly Tree?!" Crown Prince Ying Rong exclaimed in shock, his voice trembling with excitement as he stared at the colossal tree emanating a familiar yet strange aura. "It's the Marquis of Qingyang! Where did he get it from? Did he sever space and time to send the severed Heavenly Tree?!"

This legendary ancient tree has actually reappeared in Tongzhou in this way!

"Primordial Qi! This is the purest primordial power!" The Third Prince Ying Xian felt the immense aura permeating the air, which made his sword intent spontaneously active. His face was filled with shock. "Lord Qingyang... he actually sent the fragments of the primordial world here?! What exactly did he do in the Demon Abyss?!"

The Fifth Prince Ying Li's eyes gleamed with wisdom as he watched the low-level Bone-Eating Demons melt away like snowflakes as the branches of the divine tree swept across the area, and the shrieks of the Soul-Devouring Demons were suppressed. He clenched his fist excitedly: "Divine Tree! It's purifying the demonic atmosphere! It's repairing the origin of Tongzhou! We're saved! Marquis Qingyang has delivered a chance to turn the tide!"

"Heaven bless Great Qin! Marquis Qingyang is mighty!" Marquis Su Jing roared to the sky, his golden dragon spear pointing at the divine tree in the sky, and morale soared instantly!

"Kill! Purify the Demon Realm with the Divine Tree!" Jin Yuelin roared, and the Giant Spirit Statue shone brightly, charging forward against the demonic tide!

The battlefield situation reversed in an instant!

That towering, earth-shaking divine tree was not an inanimate object!
Its enormous branches, like billions of emerald whips, lashed fiercely at the surging demonic tide with the primordial power to purify evil spirits!

Wherever it passed, low-level Bone-Eating Demons were reduced to ashes, and their demonic energy was purified into harmless pure energy!
The high-level monster's defenses were easily torn apart, and its demonic body withered rapidly under the onslaught of the laws of life!
The Soul Devourer's invisible shriek was like hitting an impenetrable wall, and was instead shattered by the spiritual fluctuations emanating from the divine tree!

Even more surprising, from the collapsed fragments of the primordial continent, and from beneath the branches of the towering tree, countless figures emerged like streams flowing into the sea!

They are not human; they vary in height, have skin with wood-like textures, and hair that is either emerald green or dark brown. They exude a pure or resilient aura of wood spirit essence!

They wielded spears shaped like vines, massive shields covered in thorns, and bows and arrows that exuded the fragrance of grass and trees; their eyes burned with the flames of revenge and the hope of new life!
"For the primordial ancestral land!"

"For the spirits of our ancestors!"

"Slay the Heavenly Demon!"

A deafening battle cry resounded through the heavens!
These survivors and warriors from the ancient Wood Spirit Ancestral Land, under the protection of the divine tree, were like a fresh force injected into the battlefield. With their deep-seated hatred for the demons and their determination to protect their new home, they fearlessly charged into the battlefield!
Their strength may not be as great as the Qin elite, but their numbers are enormous, they are fearless, and more importantly, their wood spirit power, in resonance with the Tongtian Divine Tree, has a natural restraint on demonic energy!
Reinforcements!

Reinforcements have arrived from the sky!

"It's reinforcements! Reinforcements sent by the Marquis of Qingyang!"

"Kill them! Cooperate with the divine tree and crush them!"

The Qin soldiers erupted in thunderous cheers, their fatigue vanished and their morale soared!
Under the purifying aura of the Heavenly Divine Tree and the flanking attack of the Wood Spirit reinforcements, the originally crumbling defensive line was instantly stabilized and began to push forward!
--------------

At the summit of the imperial city, the Star-Gazing Platform.

Princess Zhao Yu, still dressed in plain clothes, stood there quietly.

Her gaze pierced through the distance of space, locking onto the enormous light and shadow floating in front of Emperor Yuankang—

The light and shadow clearly reflected the shocking scene on the Tongzhou battlefield where Zhang Yuanjian pierced the sky and the divine tree descended from the heavens!
Zhao Yu's knuckles turned white from gripping the glass, his gaze fixed intently on the light and shadow reflecting the Tongzhou battlefield.

In the interplay of light and shadow, the chilling sword light that tore through eternity and pierced through time and space was the very aura she longed for.

"Lord Qingyang... he's fighting desperately again..." Zhao Yu's voice trembled slightly, the power carried by the sword light was too vast, and the resulting spatial and temporal turbulence made her heart tremble even through the light and shadow.

Seeing this, the personal maid behind her quickly stepped forward, her voice low but filled with unwavering certainty: "Princess, rest assured! The Marquis is awe-inspiring, and turning misfortune into good fortune is nothing new to him."

"Look, the sacred tree has been safely delivered, hasn't it? The Marquis will surely return safely!"

The maid's gaze followed the light and shadow closely. The scene of the towering tree stretching its branches, its endless vitality washing away the demonic aura, also stirred her heart.

Zhao Yu didn't turn around, but her clenched fist tightened even more, revealing blue veins beneath her fair skin.

She knew Zhang Yuan's strength, and she also knew that every time he "risked his life," he faced dangers that could overturn the world.

But she could only choose to believe, to believe in the man who always managed to create miracles. Emperor Yuankang stood with his hands behind his back before the steps, his black dragon robe fluttering even without wind.

The light and shadow before him were far more magnificent than what Zhao Yu had seen. They not only reflected the heroic scene of the Heavenly Divine Tree purifying the Demon Realm and the Wood Spirit Warriors fighting bravely, but also clearly captured Zhang Yuan's sword that pierced through the two realms, and...

After the sword light, the final scene showed the Demon Abyss completely collapsing and turning into nothingness.

The branches of the colossal tree swayed in the light and shadow, each movement stirring up a tide of spiritual energy throughout the entire Qin territory.

In Yongtian Continent and even Zhao Continent, which had just rebuilt its Dao foundation, the sounds of dragon roars from the earth's veins rose and fell, and the world was filled with an unprecedentedly magnificent vitality and stable Dao rhythm.

"The Heavenly Wood... the foundation of the primordial ancestral vein!" Emperor Yuankang's deep eyes flashed with a sharp light.

He clearly felt that, as this divine tree took root, the core earth vein of Tongzhou, which had been imprisoned by the chains of the Demon Realm for 100,000 years, resonated strongly with the Heavenly Dao Origin of the Great Qin for the first time!

The foul and demonic energy covering Tongzhou was as if it had met its nemesis, and was rapidly purified and dispelled by the pure primordial energy emanating from the divine tree.

"Excellent! Excellent Zhang Yuan! Excellent Heaven-Reaching Divine Tree!" Emperor Yuankang's voice echoed in the Golden Palace, carrying imperial majesty and barely suppressed excitement. "This tree not only relieved the predicament of Tongzhou, but also replenished the missing 'wood element' essence of our Great Qin's Heavenly Dao!"

"Wood governs growth and development, and all things flourish! The mountains and rivers of the thirty-six continents are reunited... no longer a distant hope!"

He turned abruptly, his gaze seemingly piercing through the layers of palaces to see the elegant white figure atop the imperial city. He proclaimed loudly, "Issue my decree! When Marquis Qingyang returns in triumph, I will personally lead my civil and military officials to welcome him ten thousand miles outside the city!"

"The glory of the Great Qin, the merits that will last for ten thousand generations, I will share with you, and with Marquis Qingyang!"

The majestic imperial aura rose with his words, merging with the primordial energy emanating from the swaying, towering divine tree. Above the entire Qin imperial city, the primordial energy condensed into clouds, with faint sounds of dragon roars and phoenix cries echoing in celebration.

After completing this crucial "Wood Element" origin, the Heavenly Way of the Great Qin became even more profound, magnificent, and full of vitality, revealing a grand vision of ruling over all directions and reuniting mountains and rivers!

……

The Demon Abyss, that ancient wasteland that breeds endless filth and despair, had its very foundation ripped away the moment Zhang Yuan activated the Thirteen Ferocious Swords, cleaved the river of time, and sent the fragments of the primordial continent that carried the Heavenly Tree to the Tongzhou of the future.

Having lost the last vestige of the primordial Heavenly Dao, lost its core significance as an "anchor point," and further weakened by the descent of the Demon Lord's true form and the backlash from the collapse of the Great Dao...

"Boom—!!!"

There were no cries of anguish, only utter annihilation!
The endless filthy demonic energy that constituted the Demon Abyss, the broken chains of laws, the remains of billions of demons, and even the dark space itself that had been polluted for millennia, were like ice and snow thrown into boiling water. Under the self-correction of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth and the scouring of the great power of time and space, they crumbled and dissipated inch by inch!
The Abyss of Demons has become a thing of the past.

The remnant souls of the divine beasts that accompanied Zhang Yuan watched this ending scene with solemn expressions. They knew that Zhang Yuan had done his utmost, continuing the hope of the Primordial Wood Vein in another way.

Zhang Yuan's figure hangs alone in this void that is rapidly returning to "nothingness".

The collapse of the Demon Abyss did not harm him in the slightest; on the contrary, it was as if a heavy shackle had been removed.

Behind him lay the ruins of the Demon Abyss, now utterly vanished; before him flowed the ceaseless river of time, a tapestry of light and shadow.

At this very moment, a vast, boundless power, brimming with endless vitality and an indomitable will, traversed the river of time, pierced through the barriers of space and time, and descended with a thunderous roar!
This power originates from the Qin Dynasty!
It was after the Tongtian Divine Tree took root in Tongzhou and completed the origin of the Great Qin Wood Industry that the fortune of the Thirty-Six Continents was unprecedentedly concentrated and resonated!

It is the boiling of the indomitable fighting spirit of hundreds of millions of Qin people!

Furthermore, after being nourished by the primordial ancestral vein, the origin of the Great Qin Heavenly Dao was sublimated and strengthened!
This power, transcending endless time and space, was precisely poured into Zhang Yuan's body!

"Om-!"

Zhang Yuan's body suddenly trembled!
Above their heads, the magnificent crown of Xuanhuang, formed by the will of the Great Qin Heavenly Dao, suddenly appeared, radiating boundless light. The Xuanhuang Qi that hung down was no longer wisps, but as vast as a waterfall from the heavens!
Above the magnificent crown, the phantom representing the mountains, rivers, and state of the Great Qin became even more solid, with the veins of ancient trees faintly interwoven within, majestic and imposing, ruling over all directions!
Beneath their feet, the Dao foundation, constructed from the Chaos True Essence, the Dragon Elephant Prison Suppression Will, and the Dao Principles of Destiny, became even more vast, solid, and unfathomable after merging with this magnificent power of the Great Qin Heavenly Dao!
It was as if a nascent universe was rapidly evolving and stabilizing.

The seventy-two Chaos Pearls within his body circulated wildly, absorbing the primordial power that had crossed time and space, and the boundaries of the nascent Chaos Minor World expanded at a visible speed.

The countless remnants of divine beasts dwelling within roared with exhilaration, their broken souls greedily absorbing the pure and boundless vitality and willpower.

At this moment, he seemed to have become an extension node of the Great Qin Heavenly Dao in the primordial space-time!

His very existence is a sharp sword that connects the two worlds and carries civilization!

Zhang Yuan slowly opened his eyes. In his eyes, the chaotic vortex in his left eye was as deep as an abyss, reflecting the changes of the primordial era.

His right eye shone with a brilliant, dark yellow light, reflecting the vastness of the Qin Dynasty's mountains and rivers.

The two forces achieved an unprecedented harmony and unity within him.

He gazed longingly at the familiar imperial city lights and shadows on the other side of the river of time.

Zhang Yuan seemed to see Zhao Yu standing on the star-gazing platform.

"Wait for me to come back..."

Zhang Yuan murmured, his voice calm, yet containing a resolute determination to sever all ties.

The next moment, he turned around abruptly!
Clad in magnificent armor manifested from the Armor of Ten Thousand Beasts, with the Xuanhuang Imperial Crown hanging above him, carrying the grand fortune of the entire Great Qin Dynasty and the endless vitality of the Primordial Wood Vein, he took a step forward!
"Sizzle—!"

The void before him was like a fragile curtain, easily torn apart by the boiling power emanating from his body.

He did not step into the river of time, but instead crashed directly into the endless chaotic void, his figure transforming into a mysterious yellow rainbow that tore through the darkness of eternity!

Blood-soaked battlefield!
