At this moment. Within the myriad worlds of the heavens, countless realms were in turmoil, with various natural disasters descending, threatening the safety of ordinary Immortals.
Boom!
Amidst a chain of mountain ranges, a volcano suddenly erupted, spewing forth black-red lava straight into the skies, flowing downwards towards the mountain’s base.
The temperature of this lava was exceedingly high; even beings at the level of a Daluo Golden Immortal dared not approach easily, as being submerged would pose a mortal danger.
The flowing lava, akin to a wild beast untamed, turned everything in its path to scorched earth.
Yet at the mountain’s base stood a small city.
"The lava is coming, run quickly!"
The patrolling city guards, upon seeing the approaching lava, were stricken with horror, using their immortal energy to amplify their voices as they shouted.
They were merely ordinary soldiers, doomed in the face of such terrifying lava.
However, after delivering the warning, they did not flee; instead, they released their immortal energy, manifesting a protective shield outside the city.
They were soldiers of the Qin Dynasty!
When calamity struck, they were to charge to the frontline!
Whether it be a mountain of blades, a sea of fire, or battlefields akin to slaughterhouses, they were to be the final line of defense, to protect the nation’s safety, the people’s safety.
"Citizens, evacuate quickly!"
A few moments later, scores of figures flew out from the City Lord’s residence, urging loudly from the cloudbanks above.
These individuals were the city’s officials, clad in cerulean officials’ robes, revered by the common Immortal folk as ’Grand Blue Lords’, yet when danger arose, they did not flee first.
After two warnings, the city’s citizens reacted and began evacuating towards distant lands.
"City Lord, this place is dangerous, you must leave first!"
At this moment, a streak of light tore through the sky—it was the Colonel safeguarding the city, who approached the leading City Lord, saluted, and spoke.
"How could I flee when the citizens have not yet left?"
The City Lord, without a second thought, righteously refused, saying, "The Emperor’s imperial examination gave me the opportunity to govern this land, how could I betray such imperial grace?"
The Colonel, upon hearing this, stood in reverence and ceased his persuasion, mobilizing the city guards against the lava.
They swore to stand with the city till the end!
Honglong!
Soon, the turbulent lava approached the city, stretching across miles upon miles, rendering the city insignificant in comparison.
As for the city guards, they were akin to mantises blocking carts, courting death before the lava.
Swoosh!
Just as the lava was about to engulf the city, a white Heavenly Dao descended upon this world, with boundless Dao force enveloping it, stabilizing the world.
The rampaging lava halted!
Various other natural disasters froze in the void!
"How magnificent!"
A city guard watching this scene exclaimed in shock.
Then, they erupted in waves of cheers.
Rescued!
Similar scenes played out across myriad worlds within the heavens.
"Creating Heavenly Dao with fortune!"
"But attempting to make me concede is not enough!"
"Kill!"
At this moment, the Daoshou also noticed the presence of different Dao energies within various worlds of the heavens, his expression twisted as he roared in anger.
He would not allow any other group of Heavenly Dao to exist within the myriad worlds.
The struggle for the Heavenly Dao began!
Boom!
In numerous worlds, the Dao power representing Hongjun’s side gathered, transforming into black dragons, their aura intimidating, their gaze bloodthirsty, their cries echoing to the firmament.
"Roar!"
Another dragon’s roar resounded.
The Heavenly Dao transformed by the ’Universal Heaven’ also turned into white dragons, with eyes flickering with the statutes of the Qin Dynasty’s laws, cold and indifferent, yet not bloodthirstily misused.
Thus, both sides began vying for control over the ’Heaven’ within the myriad worlds.
"This ’Universal Heaven’ is intriguing!"
In the world at the earth’s core, the deity of Yu Zhou Ding observed ’Universal Heaven’ transforming into countless Heavenly Dao, a flicker of contemplation passing through its luminous eyes as it spoke softly.
"He is a clever man!"
The deity of Yu State Ding chuckled, paying no further attention to the battlefield.
’Universal Heaven’ was the Heavenly Dao of the Qin Dynasty!
And the Qin Dynasty was a nation where imperial power reigned supreme!
As time passed and the Qin Dynasty’s territories expanded, yet with only one Heavenly Dao, what would occur?
Would the phenomenon of Heavenly authority surpassing imperial authority arise?
Even if Qin Wudao said nothing, would the subjects of the Qin Dynasty not intervene?
Thus, ’Universal Heaven’ now slain the Heavenly Dao with its own body, relinquishing its power and narrowing its scope of governance to establish itself more firmly in the Qin Dynasty.
Sometimes, stepping back achieves much more than advancing ten steps!
...
Within Endless Palace!
While battles raged fervently outside, Xue Rengui sat cross-legged, the divine essence of ’Archer God’ and ’Reincarnation God Seat’ alternating between his brows, harboring immense might.
He swiftly activated his Cultivation Technique, unleashing tremendous suction, devouring massive energy like a whale swallowing or a silkworm consuming.
He was advancing to the Unity Realm Stage!
Boom!
With a muffled sound.
An overwhelming suction erupted from his body.
At this moment, he successfully broke the shackles, advancing to the Unity Realm Stage!
"Finally broke through!"
Xue Rengui opened his eyes, emitting a blinding light, incredibly sharp, piercing through everything, obliterating everything.
Above the nine heavens, the void trembled violently, myriad Daos manifested, coiling through the sky, stretching across the universe, radiating an overwhelming pressure, enfolding the world.
In the blink of an eye, the number of Daos reached two thousand!
"Another has broken through to the Unity Realm Stage in the Qin Dynasty?"
Within the world of Chaos’ inner realm, Hongjun, watching the battle between the Daoshou and Universal Heaven for control over the heavens, suddenly sensed a terrifying energy fluctuation from the great world of the Nine Provinces and quickly turned his head, his expression becoming exceedingly somber.
Again!
The Qin Dynasty’s Unity Realm Martial Artists, don’t they cost a thing?
They appear frequently!
Across the mysterious cosmos, is there any force capable of producing four Unity Realm Martial Artists within a millennium?
"The Dao!"
"Let me witness how many Daos this Martial Artist from the Qin Dynasty, breaking through at this time, can evoke!"
Hongjun took a deep breath, calmly observing Xue Rengui’s breakthrough.
He was in no hurry to act.
Mere Unity Realm Martial Artists couldn’t affect the overall situation!
Of course, it wouldn’t be long before he would regret his current decision deeply, almost to the point of lamenting greatly.
Taihong, Guhao, Tai Yuan, and others also glanced toward the direction of the great world of the Nine Provinces, their expressions somber, eyes filled with envy, jealousy, and anger!
Because Xue Rengui’s talent was truly terrifying!
Thus far, he had already evoked two thousand five hundred Daos, and the number was still increasing!
"Unfair!"
"The heavens are unjust!"
"Why don’t I have such monstrous talent!"
Tianyuan clenched his fists, furiously howling in his heart, though not showing it outwardly, maintaining a calm demeanor, unperturbed by any waves.
Finally, the number of Daos Xue Rengui evoked reached two thousand eight hundred!
"Two thousand eight hundred!"
Hongjun’s serene mindset was once again shattered, gritting his teeth, he commanded, "Issue the order for the Nine Lords of the Nether Army to lead the Nether Legion to fight from the ’Gate of the World’!"
