My cards can be infinitely combined.

Chapter 609 Once I break free, you will all die.

The black-haired man carrying the long sword stood up, took a step, and disappeared in a flash. By the time his foot landed, he had traversed an unknown distance and arrived at the tip of a petal of the giant lotus. He wanted to take another step, but when he lifted his foot, he couldn't put it down.

An invisible yet powerful force has trapped him within this lotus flower, preventing him from leaving!

"Damn Chaos Lotus! One day, I will make you vanish into thin air, and grind the one who fell into its lap to ashes!"

The black-haired man spoke coldly, drawing a long sword from his back. However, the sword only had a hilt and no blade.

"The Tomb of the Broken Sky is the place of reincarnation, the future rebirth site of the Broken Sky, and it concerns the great war to come. That bronze coffin must not be lost!"

As the black-haired man spoke, he held the sword hilt and swung it into the void. An invisible force quickly emerged from the void, transforming into a blue lightning bolt. The blue lightning bolt traveled rapidly, flying an unknown distance in an instant, before transforming into a blue divine dragon, taking the shape of the character "道" (Dao), leaping and moving forward in the deep sky.

The Thunder Dragon's destination was none other than the Great Tomb of the Broken Sky.

This time, however, Zhou Nan received no information whatsoever.

Inside the Great Tomb of the Broken Sky, Badas, the national hero of the Dragon Slayer Empire, had already used the Heaven-Turning Seal, which transformed into the size of a house and pressed down on the back of the Broken Sky Lord.

With the posture of carrying a stele, Cantianjun desperately held up the Heaven-Turning Seal. His teeth were clenched to pieces, his knees were slightly bent, and fine cracks began to appear from his toes.

"To withstand the Heaven-Turning Seal and not be directly killed by it, you have every reason to be proud!"

"The Duke of Zhenguo, Badas, said with a hint of surprise."

The true strength of the Heaven-Turning Seal lies not in its weight, but in the imperial pressure and divine power within it. The imperial pressure can lock onto a target, binding its soul and body, making it unable to escape and only able to withstand the pressure of the Heaven-Turning Seal. The shattering divine power possesses immense destructive force, capable of pulverizing everything.

However, although the Remnant Heavenly Lord managed to withstand the Heaven-Turning Seal and was not instantly destroyed, he was now powerless to do anything else. Under the suppression of the Heaven-Turning Seal, he could only slowly crumble and die.

Zhou Nan then took the opportunity to find the outline of the "Heavenly Defeat Scripture" on the bronze coffin.

With his powerful computing ability, he added the general outline to the database in the blink of an eye.

With this general outline, the "Heavenly Crippled Scripture" becomes complete, a secret manual of ultimate cultivation methods that can prove the Way of Heaven.

Based on this, Zhou Nan instantly created a god of fantasy, which is the [Black Card Angel - Remnant Heaven Lord].

Angels are servants of the supreme divinity, created by the supreme divinity for a reason. Zhou Xiaonan is the first black card angel under Zhou Nan, but her birth was not due to Zhou Nan's efforts alone. She has a dual angel identity and will be able to become the King of Angels in the future, equivalent to a supreme divinity being.

At this moment, Zhou Nan had a sudden inspiration and wanted to create a true black card angel who would hold the cards for him.

The data from the [Heavenly Crippled Scripture] can provide support, but in order for it to truly appear, Zhou Nan still needs to refine his Qi. First, he needs to use the power of the Black Card to make it appear in the world, and then he needs to separate the [Heavenly Crippled Scripture] database and transform it into his independent consciousness. This is by no means something that can be created in a short time.

"Nuclear-powered sword immortals, true greatsword generals, and others can all become black card angels for me in the future; I just need to accumulate them slowly."

Zhou Nan had an epiphany, and now he looked at the bronze coffin again.

He had a bad feeling that the bronze coffin was sinister and that if it was not destroyed today, it would likely become a source of disaster in the future.

With his cultivation at Zhou Nan's current level, no premonition should be underestimated. Just as Zhou Nan was about to ask Jian Jiujiu and the others to join forces to destroy the bronze coffin, the earth and mountains suddenly shook violently, and the entire Remnant Heaven Tomb began to tremble.

Then blue lightning descended from the sky, piercing through the ceiling of the mausoleum, and its remaining force poured down.

A strong sense of crisis surged into Zhou Nan's heart. He disregarded everything else and raised his right hand upwards, using the same technique he had used before, the Nine Subduing Dragon Palms, to raise a Boundless Compass. He used this compass to protect himself and those around him.

With a deafening roar, the entire Cantian Tomb was blasted open, the terrifying force seemingly tearing and lifting the earth's crust, sending up endless dust and smoke.

Zhou Nan burst out of the smoke and dust, his imperial robes torn in several places, and his body covered in small wounds. In his right hand, he carried the unconscious Duke Badas of the Dragon Slayer Empire.

He looked up at the sky and saw a blue dragon flying away, its mouth carrying a bronze coffin from the Tomb of the Broken Sky.

"Once I break free, you will all perish. There will be no place for you in the vast universe!"

A thunderous sound descended from the sky.

Zhou Nan's expression was serious. The sudden sound and the sudden attack had not given him any prior warning. The Emperor Sword's ability to receive information from deep space seemed to be ineffective against that power.

"Such terrifying power! It must be the work of a Great Emperor-level expert!"

Jian Jiujiu's voice came out.

The Emperor level is the level of the strongest immortal spirit and the highest divinity. In the Dragon Slaying Empire, it is a level of thousands.

Zhou Nan looked in the direction of the sound and saw Jian Jiujiu and other powerful figures from the Dragon Slaying Empire appearing one after another amidst the billowing smoke and dust. They were all injured, and many experts had been forever silenced beneath the Tomb of the Broken Sky.

In an instant, the people of the Dragon Slayer Empire suffered heavy casualties.

"There is great terror in this fourth layer of deep space!" Zhou Nan realized something. "He kidnapped the bronze coffin and even rescued the Remnant Heavenly Lord at the critical moment. Such a being is incredibly powerful. But I think this being cannot easily make a move, or rather, cannot make a continuous move, which is why he kidnapped the bronze coffin."

Jian Jiujiu spat out a mouthful of blood and said, "There are actually such powerful beings in this layer of deep space!"

Zhou Nan looked down at the earth, his gaze penetrating the smoke and dust to reveal a deep passage.

The powerful attack just now, launched by an unknown force, not only snatched the bronze coffin and destroyed the Great Tomb of the Broken Sky, but also pierced through the earth, creating a passage leading to the fifth layer of deep space beneath the Great Tomb of the Broken Sky.

In fact, Zhou Nan already knew that there was a passage connecting the four Heavenly Dao tombs to the fifth layer of deep space.

At this moment, Xiao Taichong and Xiao Taiyong flew over from a distance. They had not been inside the mausoleum before, but upon seeing the devastated land, they quickly took out some paper money and scattered it.

"My brother and I will offer sacrifices here for now. When the roar of the Yang God Dragon arrives in the future, it may restore their life. You should heal your wounds quickly."

Xiao Taichong roared. Although he and Xiao Taiyong had become divine beings, with their three souls and seven spirits united and no longer affected by the laws of the Yang God, they still remembered some of the methods of the Illusionary God Realm, and used them at this moment.

Without saying much, Zhou Nan, along with the unconscious Duke Badas, Jian Jiujiu, and the others, quickly returned to the body of the ancient giant tortoise to begin healing.

In fact, Zhou Nan's injuries were not very serious. His body was extremely sturdy, even stronger than the Great Sun Tathagata Body. Compared to the Light Radiation cultivators, he was not much weaker than the creators of the universe. After resting for a while, his injuries were completely healed, and the Black Card Emperor's imperial robes were restored to their original condition.

However, Jian Jiujiu and the others needed to recuperate for a while, which delayed their journey.

As always, Zhou Nan sat cross-legged on Chiyang Mountain, pondering what to do next.

Should we continue towards that enormous lotus, explore other Heavenly Dao tombs, or leave the fourth layer of deep space as soon as possible and enter the fifth layer?

Half a month later, Zhou Nan reached an agreement with the awakened Duke Badas, Jian Jiujiu, and others to temporarily abandon the exploration of the giant lotus and the other three Heavenly Dao tombs, but instead continue to the fifth layer of deep space.

In fact, from the moment that powerful attack came down without Li Hanqiang himself making a move, Jian Jiujiu and the others realized that the being was not in this fourth layer of deep space. Although the huge lotus flower must have been left behind by him, there was an irresistible powerhouse in this fourth layer of deep space, so they should avoid his sharp edge.

Three days later, the ancient giant tortoise, carrying Mount Chiyang, entered the fifth layer of deep space through the passage beneath the Tomb of the Broken Sky.

The fifth layer of deep space is inhabited by countless mortals. As soon as Zhou Nan arrived, he obtained a great deal of information about this layer of deep space. It is completely different from the previous four layers of deep space, and is more like an alien world with a unique cultivation civilization.

In this other world, humans are the dominant species, with three lineages: Buddhism, Taoism, and academies. There are countless sects vying for incense offerings, as well as various demons and monsters. Mortals suffer greatly, but overall, the cultivation atmosphere in this fifth layer of deep space is quite good.

Of course, this world also has its peculiarities. On the earth, between the mountains, and in the ocean currents, there are many huge pits. These pits are called "Ruins," which are mysterious and terrifying places. Once a cultivator gets close, he will be affected by a mysterious force, lose consciousness and memory, and enter the "Ruins." Occasionally, he will reappear, but he will be a walking corpse with no memory and only know how to kill.

In fact, those "ruins" are the true fifth layer of deep space, controlled by the evil will within it.

The land, mountains, and oceans between the "ruins" depend on those "ruins" for existence, and the creatures born on them merely provide sustenance for those "ruins".

"There is no information about Li Hanqiang's true form in this realm. To leave this realm and enter the sixth layer of deep space, one must pass through the Ruins! The Ruins contain mysterious energy that can cause people to lose themselves and unknowingly become puppet assassins. Under no circumstances should one force their way in..."

Zhou Nan relayed the message to Badas, Jian Jiujiu, and the others: "If we want to pass through the Ruins safely, we'll probably have to wait a while. The Ruins are incredibly powerful, but their strength fluctuates. When they are at their strongest, we might be able to force our way through, but those below level 700 will most likely not be able to. To be on the safe side, let's wait until the Ruins are weak before we pass through quickly. That might take ten or even several decades, but at least it will be safe."

"I will follow the Ten Venerables' arrangements!"

Jian Jiujiu and others responded.

After that, the ancient god tortoise lay like a giant mountain, and the people of the Dragon Slaying Empire became the guides of civilization beneath it, establishing many sects, taking in many disciples, and teaching various cultivation methods.

This seems to be a tradition of the Dragon Slayer Empire.

Zhou Nan rode Chiyang Mountain away from the back of the ancient god tortoise and chose a good spot, which also allowed Xiao Taichong and Xiao Taiyong to open a card door.

Zhou Nan did this because he wanted to develop some card warriors; he still had many deep space probes available.

Time flies, and 25 years have passed in the blink of an eye. Zhou Nan has created another orange-level one-star card of perpetual motion of divine thoughts.

Crafting orange cards is too time-consuming and laborious. Zhou Nan couldn't wait for a nine-star orange card, so he quietly decided to use a one-star orange card to strengthen himself and improve his foundation.

After using this one-star orange card, Zhou Nan's memory reached 24 megabytes, and his computing power was improved once again.

The Card Sect is also doing quite well, recruiting some promising disciples. Zhou Nan used three cards, including [Qi Refining Guidance], to turn them all into Card Warriors.

Those card warriors, roaming the world, slaying demons and monsters, have gradually gained some fame in this fifth layer of deep space.

Two years later, the "Ruins" entered a period of weakness. Zhou Nan, riding on Chiyang Mountain, led all the disciples of the mountain gate into a "Ruins" to head to the sixth level of deep space.

Of course, the ancient giant tortoise and the people of the Dragon Slayer Empire also entered that "ruin" with Zhou Nan.

The "Void" is like an abyss, difficult to escape in a short time. While traveling through it, Zhou Nan discovered a large number of creatures controlled by the power of the Void, mainly humans. They had long lost their memories and had become life forms with only the instinct to kill, known as Void Slaves.

A battle inevitably broke out.

Fortunately, the strength of those Void Slaves was not very strong, so experts like Zhou Nan and Jian Jiujiu did not need to take action. They only sent those below level 300 to fight them, which could be regarded as a form of training.

On the 30th day after entering the "Ruins", Zhou Nan made a new discovery. He found that the "Ruins" were actually alive, or living beings. There were about 30 million Ruins in the entire fifth layer of deep space. A very small number of them had reached adulthood, while the vast majority were still growing. And the Void Slaves were their food.

Zhou Nan also learned through the Emperor Sword that the Ruins were one of the powerful forces in the deep space world that destroyed interstellar civilizations. They obeyed the orders of a mysterious will and could invade the starry sky.

Moreover, quite a few of them have already been conscripted to participate in the interstellar war.

"Time and spacetime are chaotic in the deep space. It is unknown what year and month it is in the outside world. It is unknown whether the deep space world has started a war against the Dragon Slaying Empire and Earth. If the war has started, how many Ruins have joined the war?"

Zhou Nan pondered silently. He felt that Xu was difficult to kill, and its power was strange. If it were deployed to the battlefield, it would be a real problem. Beings below level 700 would have almost no chance against it.

For some time afterward, Zhou Nan continued to study "Ruins," and gradually more data about Ruins appeared in the database.

On this day, Zhou Nanfu had a sudden inspiration and snapped his fingers. A blue card immediately appeared in front of him, named [Void Destroyer].

This is a card he created to counter "Ruins" after consulting with Zhou Shabao based on his own database. It has a powerful destructive force against "Ruins" and can even completely annihilate them.
