Too many people are dying in this chaotic world? Then I'll activate the control panel!

Blood stained the entire Zhao family mansion, corpses littered the ground, and all was deathly silent.

Wang Sheng stood alone in the center of the pool of blood, surrounded by a completely new realm of aura.

The murderous power from slaughtering the entire Zhao family had not yet dissipated, but his body had already undergone an ultimate transformation, a complete metamorphosis.

Deep within his soul, the Divine Spring Realm technique, a gift from Heaven, flowed slowly, its profound and vast Daoist essence permeating his limbs and bones.

Within his dantian, a vast and boundless spring of primordial energy burst forth!

The gushing Yuan energy surged and churned like living water, endlessly circulating and completely freeing the stagnation that had bound the meridians in the Open Meridian Realm.

The abundant primordial energy accumulated in the past has now transformed into a pure spring, vast and boundless, filling every inch of flesh and muscle.

Once the Divine Spring is completed, the combat power will undergo a dramatic transformation!

Wang Sheng slowly raised his arm, his fingertips surrounded by a faint, shimmering white halo. The air around him swirled and surged automatically, lifting his body slowly off the ground.

Soaring through the air!

This is an ability unique to cultivators at the Divine Spring Realm!

Previously, even with abundant Yuan energy and perfect combat skills, the ninth-level Meridian Opening Realm was still the pinnacle of mortal martial arts and could not break free from the shackles of the earth.

Once one enters the Divine Spring Realm, one truly embarks on the path of cultivation, transcends the shackles of mortal existence, floats in the air, walks on air, and is accompanied by the primordial energy of heaven and earth with every move.

The night wind swept through the hall, causing his plain clothes to flutter loudly. Looking down at the devastated ruins of the Zhao family below, Wang Sheng's eyes showed no pity, only a chilling and ruthless determination.

"To cut the weeds, you must pull them out by the roots!"

The chilling voice, like a cold wind sweeping across the earth, carried an undeniable killing intent.

"The Zhao family is now coveting my life, attempting to discard me after I've served my purpose, repaying kindness with enmity. Such a scourge must not be left unpunished!"

His divine spring energy rippled slightly as he strode through the air, his movements graceful yet brimming with killing intent.

"Starting today, we will first purge all those in Beitong Town who are related to the Zhao family by blood, completely severing the Zhao family's foundation! Once Beitong Town is cleared out, we will immediately march south, flatten Nanfeng Town, slaughter the entire Lin family, and eradicate them completely to eliminate any future troubles!"

The power of the Divine Spring Realm surged continuously from his dantian, vast and mighty, far surpassing any previous moment.

Wang Sheng had already clearly determined in his heart that the Divine Spring Realm of this world was completely equivalent to the Innate Realm of the Formless Universe!

One step into the innate realm, one step into the Great Dao!

In his eyes, all forces in Beitong and Nanfeng towns were like ants and weeds, which he could crush at will.

Once the mind is made up, the killing will not stop.

Wang Sheng transformed into a streak of light, dashing out of the Zhao family mansion and speeding towards various parts of Beitong Town, thus beginning a thorough purge.

at the same time,

A vast and boundless universe without form.

Qingyan has been lying low in this world for decades, diligently cultivating himself, patiently enduring every step of the way, and never slacking off in the slightest.

For him, there was no worry about the inheritance of his cultivation techniques. He had a profound foundation, and the cultivation techniques he practiced were all top-tier lineages, perfect and flawless, with a solid and stable foundation, far surpassing all the geniuses of his generation.

What troubled his path of cultivation was never the incomplete cultivation methods or the lack of lineage, but rather two insurmountable obstacles—the scarcity of top-tier cultivation resources and the immovable Mount Buzhou that stood deep within his heart for eternity!

Mount Buzhou is the supreme constraint hidden in the Heavenly Dao of this universe, the inner demon of cultivation for all peerless geniuses. It is formless and intangible, yet heavier than heaven and earth, and oppressive to the soul.

The Way of Heaven balances all things and will never allow unparalleled geniuses to rise infinitely and transcend its control.

The more talented, rapidly advancing, and promising a cultivator is, the more closely Buzhou Mountain will watch, lock onto, and target them.

Ordinary, mediocre cultivators, whose cultivation levels stagnate throughout their lives with few breakthroughs, have empty minds. Mount Buzhou has no effect on them and is essentially useless.

But Qingyan is different.

He cultivated against the natural order, possessing unparalleled talent throughout history. His breakthrough speed was astonishing, advancing with unstoppable momentum, successively traversing several major realms, leaving none of his peers in his wake. This heaven-defying speed of rise completely triggered the balancing force of Mount Buzhou.

For decades, the invisible Mount Buzhou had been a heavy burden on his mind and soul. With each breakthrough he made, the pressure increased exponentially.

The mountains press the heart, and the road locks the soul!

After each breakthrough, the pressure from Mount Buzhou would surge several times over, as if it were a true ancient divine mountain, suppressing his cultivation path and imprisoning his advancement in realm.

This kind of oppression is invisible and intangible, yet it is the most deadly.

It does not harm the physical body or destroy one's cultivation, but it can shatter a cultivator's Dao heart and intimidate their soul, causing endless fear to arise from the bottom of their heart, making them dare not touch the barrier of their realm and dare not break through easily.

Countless brilliant talents who have amazed the ages have ultimately fallen under the balance of Mount Buzhou. Some have had their Dao hearts collapse and stagnated for life, while others have succumbed to the pressure, become complacent, and utterly degenerated into mediocrity.

With an extraordinary and unwavering Dao heart, Qingyan withstood decades of immense pressure, gritting his teeth and cultivating diligently, advancing step by step. He endured the terrifying suppression of Mount Buzhou, overcame countless bottlenecks and difficulties, and after spending decades, finally managed to step into the Imperial Realm!

However, after he stepped into the Imperial Realm, the Heavenly Court eventually discovered some clues about him.

Cultivation below the Imperial Realm requires a wide variety of resources, which are scattered in type. The stars in the heavens, the mountains and rivers of the world, and the ancient secret realms all produce a massive amount of low-level resources, in astronomical quantities, as vast as the sea, making it impossible to check them one by one.

Countless cultivators across the land use this resource, a mixed bag of good and bad. Even with the Heavenly Court's control over the power of overseeing all the heavens, it is impossible to pinpoint Qingyan, a cultivator who is hiding in the endless torrent of resources.

It is completely different from the True Realm!

Upon entering this realm, all the resources required for cultivation are upgraded, with fixed types, limited quantities, and distinct characteristics.

Every resource for cultivating in the Imperial Realm, such as high-grade spirit stones, high-grade spirit liquids, and Dao-patterned materials, is limited in quantity and its circulation can be traced.

After Qingyan broke through to the Imperial Realm, he went out to collect resources for advanced cultivation. His use, trading, and refining of high-level resources were too conspicuous and were immediately detected by the Heavenly Court's surveillance spies lurking in all the heavens and myriad realms.

Qingyan dared not linger for a moment. Relying on his intuition, he fled frantically, taking advantage of the Heavenly Court's repeated reports to higher authorities, and headed west, desperately trying to escape until he finally fled into the vast, desolate, and sparsely populated Western Yi lands.

The Western Lands are the desolate frontier of the Boundless Universe. The land is barren, filled with malevolent energy, and littered with the remnants of ancient battles. Since ancient times, it has been a dangerous and perilous place for exiling criminals and burying the strong. Ordinary cultivators avoid it like the plague, and for this reason, it has become the only place to temporarily hide.

But he underestimated how much the Heavenly Court valued him.

Just as Qingyan stepped into the land of the Western Barbarians, attempting to use the complex terrain to conceal himself and recuperate, the sky over the entire land of the Western Barbarians suddenly darkened completely!

Boundless divine light descended from the heavens, and countless golden divine patterns crisscrossed, instantly covering the vast sky. A super enemy-finding array covering the entire western territory was formed!

The formation activated, the heavens roared, and a terrifying aura that suppressed all ages swept across the vast wilderness, sealing off all things in heaven and earth and blocking all escape routes in space.

This is one of the Heavenly Court's top-tier arrays, specially for searching for rebellious cultivators. Once activated, nothing can hide, nothing can be concealed, and nothing can escape within a radius of ten thousand miles!

What's even more despairing is that the driving force behind this super array is not an ordinary True Monarch, but several top-level ancient ancestors who have lived for hundreds of thousands of years and can be said to temporarily hold the power of the Heavenly Court!

An ancient ancestor is the top combat power in this world.

Today, several ancient ancestors acted simultaneously, activating the enemy-finding formation together. All the divine light, Dao power, and formation power were locked onto Qingyan, who was still in the Yuzhen realm!

"Although he is only at the True Immortal Realm, his talent is exceptional. It wouldn't be a waste for us to lower ourselves and capture him!"

"Looking at it from another angle, this child could very well be the future Heavenly Emperor. A Heavenly Emperor is certainly someone we should join forces with."

"Why bother hiding it? Such a person possesses great fortune and won't die easily. Only those of our level can overcome the Heavenly Dao and gain a slight advantage!"

During a break in the conversation of the ancient ancestors.

Above the heavens, divine light descended, its power overwhelming. Layer upon layer of heavenly suppression force, like the collapse of the sky and earth, firmly imprisoned Qingyan's body and soul, rendering him unable to move.

"Roar roar roar..."

In dire straits, Qingyan's pent-up resentment, unwillingness, and anger, accumulated over decades, erupted, filling his internal organs and every part of his body.

He roared and howled furiously, his heart filled with resentment and discontent.

He cultivated diligently for decades, enduring the layers of suppression from the eternal inner demons of Buzhou Mountain, the desperate situation of resource scarcity, and the hardships of relentless cultivation day and night, step by step, he stepped into the Realm of Imperial Truth.

He considered himself invincible among his peers, with unparalleled combat prowess in his time. Throughout his life, he fought only to fight honorably, to contend with those of equal rank, and to die without regret!

But now, he has not been defeated by cultivators of the same level, has not perished due to the bottleneck of his cultivation realm, and has not fallen in a duel with an external enemy of the same level.

However, they were surrounded and forcibly suppressed by this group of supreme ancient ancestors who had lived for countless ages, using their absolute realm, unparalleled power, and peerless formations!

How unfair! How frustrating!

"I have trained diligently for decades, shedding countless drops of blood, all for the sake of a single, decisive victory!"

Qingyan gritted his teeth, his eyes bloodshot, his blood surging, and his heart filled with boundless rage. "I fear neither death battles with those of the same level, nor the shackles of Heaven's Dao, nor the trials of eternity! But you, as ancient ancestors, dare to kill those of higher levels, bullying the weak with your strength. What kind of justice is this?!"

"I'm not reconciled! I absolutely refuse to accept this!"

His boundless hatred and unyielding spirit soared to the heavens. Even though his body was imprisoned by the great formation and his soul was suppressed by the Heavenly Dao, his pride remained unyielding.

The ancient ancestors did not respond.

The sky was ablaze with light; it seemed the end of Qingyan was imminent.

Just as several ancient ancestors activated the great formation, preparing to completely obliterate Qingyan's divine soul and end his life,

Boom!!!

A dull, ancient, and desolate roar, powerful enough to shake the ages, suddenly exploded from the deepest abyss of the Western lands!

The earth trembled violently, mountains and rivers for thousands of miles collapsed, and endless underground evil energy, ancient death energy, and the vast Dao charm buried for thousands of years, like an ancient dragon awakened, instantly flooded and swept across the entire world!

The super enemy-hunting divine light, which was powerful enough to suppress the Imperial Realm and seal off all the heavens, was like paper in the face of this sudden burst of terrifying power. It was instantly pushed back, shattered layer by layer, and collapsed with a bang!

Above the nine heavens, the crisscrossing golden divine patterns crumbled inch by inch, and the earth-shaking array roared abruptly to a halt. The supreme array jointly activated by the ancient ancestors was actually forced back by an unknown force from the ground!

Immediately afterwards, the cracks in the earth continued to spread and expand, and endless, hazy, ancient Taoist energy soared into the sky.

In mid-air, an incomparably majestic, ancient and desolate phantom slowly coalesced into shape.

That was a projection of an ancient, massive tomb, mostly broken and dilapidated!

The colossal tomb stood majestically like a mountain, spanning thousands of feet across the sky. Its body was covered with the mottled marks of countless ages and engraved with ancient Dao patterns that had long been lost. The deathly aura was vast yet oppressive, and the terrifying aura of silence for countless ages swept across the sky, causing the minds of every ancient ancestor present to tremble violently!

The entire western land was deathly silent, the heavens were still, and all the mountains and rivers submitted.

The expressions of the ancient ancestors changed drastically, their eyes filled with shock, disbelief, and deep fear. They all looked up and stared intently at the dilapidated giant tomb in mid-air.

After the deathly silence,

The most senior ancestor, Xuan Yuan, who had witnessed the era of the ancient Heavenly Emperor, suddenly narrowed his eyes, his body trembled slightly, and he murmured in disbelief.

He stared intently at the unique, eternally indelible Daoist mark on the giant tomb, and after a long time, he finally unearthed the name that had long since died from the depths of his memory, which had been sealed for millions of years.

"The ancestor burial... it was you?!"

"You're still alive?!"

"Back then, the Heavenly Emperor personally took action, his supreme divine might overwhelming heaven and earth. With a single palm strike, he shattered you and your grave, sending you to the depths of the Netherworld, buried for eternity. How could you possibly still be alive!"

Xuan Yuan Ancient Ancestor's voice was filled with extreme shock and disbelief.

The other ancient ancestors present were all greatly shocked upon hearing this name, their expressions changed drastically, and deep fear and awe welled up in their eyes.

Bury the ancestors!

That was the most unique supreme ancestor in ancient times, who walked the path of burial alone, detached from the world, silent for eternity, not participating in the conflicts of the heavens, not vying for the power of the heavenly way, and not getting involved in ancient grudges.

His path is most peculiar—the longer he slumbers and the longer he buries himself in time, the stronger he becomes, the deeper his Daoist essence becomes, and the more terrifying his foundation becomes.

In ancient times, the heavens were in chaos, emperors vied for supremacy, and countless ancestors fought for dominance over heaven and earth. Only the ancestor of burial guarded his own grave, sleeping deep underground, indifferent to worldly affairs and refusing to compete for power.

Yet this supreme being, who was indifferent to worldly affairs, was ultimately targeted by the Heavenly Emperor, who reigned supreme throughout eternity and whose power over all the heavens!

That strike was the supreme palm of the Heavenly Emperor in his rage, overturning heaven and earth, shattering mountains and rivers, smashing the ancestor's physical body with a single blow, shattering the ancient giant tomb, and slamming him and the tomb into the core of the Nine Netherworld, sealing him underground, isolating him from the Heavenly Dao, and burying him for eternity.

Everyone thought that Zangzu had already perished completely in the Heavenly Emperor's supreme power, his soul scattered and vanished into the long river of time.

As time has passed, no one in the world remembers this silent ancestor of the Burial Path.

But today, this broken ancient tomb has reappeared in the world. The ancestral burial site has truly returned!

In mid-air, the towering, dilapidated tomb floated silently, and a vast, ancient voice emanated from it, carrying with it endless coldness, boundless hatred, and eternal resentment accumulated over hundreds of thousands of years, echoing between heaven and earth.

"The Heavenly Emperor was powerful for a time, looking down upon all ages. Yet I have never provoked him, never participated in the struggle for the throne, and never coveted imperial power!"

The deep voice carried ancient resentment, causing the great Dao of the heavens to tremble and vibrate.

"He made baseless accusations, wantonly wielded his power, shattered my true body with a single palm strike, destroyed my Dao foundation, and buried my eternal tomb, attempting to utterly exterminate me!"

"But although the Heavenly Emperor was powerful, he was too arrogant at the time."

"Who does he think he is!"

"A single strike from the Heavenly Emperor isn't enough to kill me!"

Buried deep underground for hundreds of thousands of years,

The longer the Ancestor of Burial slumbers, the stronger he becomes. He was forcibly sealed underground by the Heavenly Emperor for countless ages and slept in the dead abyss for hundreds of thousands of years. Instead of perishing, he used the endless death energy underground and the sedimentation of countless ages to push his Burial Dao to an unprecedented peak!

nowadays,

The will of Heaven awakened him, telling him that if he saved Qingyan, he would have a chance to take revenge on the Heavenly Emperor!

Therefore, the ancestral burial was initiated.

At this moment, his profound foundation, terrifying strength, and vast Daoist aura are unfathomable!

Even when ancient ancestors who had lived for hundreds of thousands of years focused their senses, they could only perceive an endless, pitch-black abyss, with no end in sight and no limit in sight, and their minds were deeply shaken.
