"Since I have decided to do it myself, no matter how elaborate the formation you have arranged is, it seems pale and powerless at this moment. The destruction of the Heavenly Dao is imminent. You only need to wait and see, and accompany me to become witnesses of this historical moment."
The sky above the collapsed and scattered Fengdu Mountains was covered with dark clouds, lightning and thunder. Jiang Han stood in the void, his eyes deep and sharp, as if he could penetrate everything, sweeping over everyone around him one by one, his tone filled with unquestionable majesty: "However, given the large number of people, in order to avoid interfering with the upcoming changes in the way of heaven, you all need to temporarily enter the small world opened up by this seat to rest."
"What do you mean by that? Do you also want to follow the example of the Demon Lord and imprison us?" Hearing this, Hei Qi's expression suddenly changed, with a hint of displeasure and vigilance on his face. He knew the hidden intention behind Jiang Han's words, and he couldn't help but resist.
“No, there is a fundamental difference between him and me. The reason why he acted that way is that he worried that the power of you strong men would disrupt the order of this world, while I hope that you can witness with your own eyes the magnificent scene of the fall of the Heavenly Dao and witness this unprecedented change!” Jiang Han's words revealed a detached indifference, without any emotional fluctuations, as if he was talking about just a trivial matter.
After he finished speaking, Jiang Han flicked his fingertips, and a tiny seed containing endless mysteries suddenly broke through the air. This was no ordinary thing, but a fantasy seed that he had accidentally found in Xuanhuang Continent. Under the continuous strengthening of the system, it has transformed into a world seed with the ability to create its own world.
Although this seed is only the size of a thumb, it contains a complete and all-encompassing world - towering mountains, winding rivers, the rising and setting of the sun and the moon, and all the natural landscapes, as if it were an independent universe.
"What qualifications do you have to do this!" The ancient king's eyes were wide open with anger. His gaze passed over Jiang Han and stared at the world seed floating in the sky. His expression was full of disbelief and anger, as if he was questioning how such an arrogant person could come from this world.
"Because in my eyes, you are no different from an ant." Jiang Han's face remained calm, but his tone revealed absolute confidence that could not be questioned.
"Just because you destroyed a mere clone of the Heavenly Dao, you think you are invincible! If my cultivation had not been damaged and I were in my peak state, even the incarnation of the Heavenly Dao would not be able to escape from my palm!" Hei Qi roared, pointing his finger to the sky, pointing to the place where the disappeared incarnation of the Heavenly Dao was, his eyes burning with unwillingness and anger.
"No need to say more, just go in, you won't feel lonely there." Jiang Han responded calmly, his eyes revealing a firmness that could not be refused.
"What if I don't want to obey?"
The ancient king snorted coldly, and the demonic energy around him suddenly burst out, just like the night falling, and darkness instantly enveloped the surrounding sky. At the same time, 400,000 gods and demons gathered behind him, like an enraged herd of ancient beasts, making a deafening roar. The void trembled in their roar, as if it could collapse at any time.
"If that's the case, I'll have no choice but to take extraordinary measures and force you to 'settle down'." Jiang Han's tone remained calm and extremely cold.
"you dare!"
Before Jiang Han finished speaking, Hei Qi roared angrily, and the 400,000 immortal gods and demons behind him seemed to respond to his will, quickly gathering and merging into a huge, hideous demon god statue. The demon god opened his bloody mouth, spewing out a gloomy and terrifying black mist, and rushed straight towards Jiang Han. A shocking contest was about to begin.
"You don't know your own limitations." These four words, like a sharp blade of ice, coldly cut through the heavy air, carrying endless ridicule and disdain, striking directly into the hearts of every living being present.
Seeing the huge demon head that blocked out the sky and sun, opening its bloody mouth as if it wanted to swallow up the world, Jiang Han's figure seemed small and resolute at this moment. At this critical moment, a dazzling golden light suddenly burst out from his body. The light was pure and sacred, like the rising sun, instantly illuminating the darkness and despair around him. This powerful force collided with the terrifying pressure of the ferocious demon head, and there was only a deafening roar. The demon head was shattered like a bubble and turned into nothingness.
"Rebellious calamity light." Jiang Han's low and firm voice sounded again. Along with these four ancient and mysterious syllables, the blazing golden light seemed to have a will of its own. It changed its form rapidly and turned into an indestructible golden cage in the blink of an eye, accurately enveloping the Heiqi King who was intending to counterattack.
The next moment, a scene occurred that made everyone present dumbfounded and filled with fear. Inside the cage, the once mighty king Heiqi let out a heart-wrenching scream, the voice full of disbelief and unwillingness. Then, in front of everyone's horrified eyes, Heiqi's body withered and decayed at an incredible speed, and in the blink of an eye it turned into a pile of scattered bones, as if all the vitality had been sucked away.
However, this horrific change was not over yet. Just as the surrounding God Kings had not recovered from their shock and were about to exclaim, the pile of bones strangely began to wriggle, reassembled, and restored to Hei Qi's appearance. But this brief rebirth was only a flash in the pan. The light of the golden cage seemed to have some mysterious power, and immediately turned him back to his original form, turning him into a pile of bones again. This cycle repeated itself, and Hei Qi struggled painfully on the edge of life and death, as if he was imprisoned in the eternal cage of time, experiencing the endless cycle of life and death.
Inside this seemingly ordinary golden cage, there seems to be a secret of ancient times hidden. It is a powerful force that transcends time and space. No matter how Hei Qi struggles, roars, or even uses all his strength, he cannot shake it in the slightest and escape this fateful imprisonment.
"Ah! Let me go!" As time passed, Hei Qi's wailing became more and more shrill, full of despair and pain. The kingly spirit that once shocked the world was now like a candle in the wind, gradually fading, revealing unprecedented fragility and helplessness. This scene not only made the viewers feel pity, but also made people deeply realize that even the powerful who dominated the world were so small and powerless when facing some irresistible forces.
Looking at the chilling scene before their eyes, the gathered God Kings couldn't help but shrink their necks, their eyes inadvertently revealed a trace of undisguised fear, quietly cast towards Jiang Han standing not far away. The raging robbery light in the prison seemed to possess some incredible power, which could ruthlessly blur the boundary between life and death, forcing the creatures in it to experience endless reincarnation, hovering on the edge of despair and hope over and over again. This scene made even the experienced God Kings feel chilled.
"Stop... stop! I... I am willing to enter on my own initiative!" From the black air, there were waves of wails mixed with pain and despair. In the end, the voice even carried a hint of begging, revealing Hei Qi's deep inner struggle and helplessness.
Jiang Han gently raised his eyelids, and his indifferent eyes swept across Hei Qi, as if everything was under his control. Then, he gently waved his sleeves, and a fresh and majestic breeze appeared out of thin air, gently but irresistibly wrapped Hei Qi, and slowly pushed him into the tiny universe evolved from the world seed, which would be Hei Qi's next destination.
"What about you? Do you also need me to take some tough measures to send you off?" Jiang Han's voice was calm and cold. His eyes swept over the old man from the South Sea and other gods and kings one by one, and his tone was full of unquestionable majesty. As soon as these words came out, the gods and kings looked at each other, their eyes full of complicated emotions. They glanced at the golden prison at the same time, and recalled the torture that the ancient king Hei Qi had just suffered. Their throats couldn't help but dry up, and they made a slight swallowing sound. Fear and dread quietly spread in their hearts.
"The younger generation will take the initiative to enter." The old man from the South Sea broke the silence. His words were full of determination. His figure turned into a brilliant rainbow and rushed into the tiny world first. Following closely behind him, other God Kings and God Emperors also mustered up their courage and followed the footsteps of the old man from the South Sea one after another, stepping into the unknown realm.
Although they were still unclear about Jiang Han's true intentions, everyone knew that this was an order that could not be refused. After all, how could they dare to say that they could escape the pain that even the powerful king Hei Qi could not endure?
In a flash, only Chen Nan, Yu Xin, Xiao Chenxi, Long Baobao, Purple Gold Dragon and Jiang Han were left in the sky. The mysterious corpse king Yu Xin, led by a powerful skeleton, quietly left and became the new disciple of this ancient being. Her future was thus shrouded in mystery.
"Senior, you are not planning to let me set foot in that mysterious little world, are you? After all, I am so petite and cute, and the unknown and danger there seem to be incompatible with my image."
"Haha, Old Dragon, I have no interest in exploring that unknown land. I would rather stay here and serve you, Senior, and be your strongest backing, always at your service, without any regrets."
Sensing Jiang Han's gentle and deep gaze, the little dragon baby and the two ruffian dragon brothers simultaneously widened their crystal clear eyes, rolling their eyeballs around, putting on an innocent, lovable and cute gesture, as if silently saying, "Look how cute we are, don't let us take risks."
Jiang Han's mouth was drawn up with a gentle smile, which showed the kindness of an elder and the calmness of a master. He said softly: "Don't worry, you just need to stay under my protection and everything will be fine."
"Master, what exactly is the purpose of your next action?" After taking another glance at the small world containing infinite possibilities, Chen Nan turned to look at Jiang Han, his brows full of confusion and curiosity. Obviously, he felt more and more confused about his master's plan and was eager to know the secret.
Jiang Han's eyes were deep, as if he had penetrated the mist of time and space. He said slowly, "In the past, the Lord of the Demon Realm had sent many Heavenly Rank warriors to the Third Realm, but there are always omissions in the world. Those who slipped through the net may be hiding in the world, ready to make a move. Why not let them step into my small world first, and let it become their temporary habitat. It is also a test and selection for them."
After saying this, Jiang Han gently waved his hand, and a soft and majestic golden light instantly spread out, like the first rays of dawn, warm and irresistible. Under the caress of this golden light, the figures of the crowd gradually blurred, and finally disappeared without a trace, leaving only a patch of light and shadow, as if foreshadowing the quiet start of an unknown journey.
The restricted area is a mysterious area known as the death zone.
In this vast world, there stands a towering mountain, its figure like an ancient giant, silent and solemn. Above the mountain, dark clouds are densely covered, layer upon layer, as if the ink from the deepest part of the sky is pouring down, tightly wrapping the entire mountain, without a trace of light. These clouds are not ordinary, they roll and surge, with an indescribable weirdness and magic, as if they are the breath of ancient monsters, or the whisper of ancient demon gods, which makes people feel fearful, as if the whole space is filled with an extremely oppressive atmosphere.
Although it was daytime and the sun should have been shining brightly, the blazing sunlight seemed to be weakened by the strange clouds and mist within the Death Zone, unable to penetrate and only lingering on the edge of the clouds, covering the mountain with a dark and deep coat. At the foot of the mountain, even at noon, there was no warmth at all, only endless coldness and dead silence, as if even time had been swallowed up by this land.
Looking down from a high place, one can vaguely see shadows among the mountains and forests. Those shadows seem to be wandering in the mist, like the guardian spirits of the ancient forest, or like lonely ghosts lost here. The more one stares, the more blurred those shadows become, as if some kind of power is interfering with one's vision, making it impossible to truly capture their true appearance. As the distance gets closer, a chill that seems to penetrate the bone marrow spreads silently, and even the most determined practitioners can't help but feel a chill.
Above this deadly place, Chen Nan's figure slowly emerged. He had just stepped out of a space crack filled with golden light, and his eyes instantly locked onto the familiar yet unfamiliar mountain below. A flash of surprise flashed across his eyes, a complex emotion mixed with memories and confusion. Once upon a time, he had only heard of various legends about this mountain, and never thought that he would be here in person today.
Beside him, the Purple-Gold Divine Dragon and the Dragon Baby also showed up, both with their mouths wide open, their round eyes full of disbelief and shock. The Purple-Gold Divine Dragon's majestic body trembled slightly, as if it was instinctively alert to the atmosphere of this deadly place; while the Dragon Baby was more like a curious baby, although his face was full of astonishment, his smart eyes flickered with a desire to explore the unknown. Their reactions undoubtedly added a bit of tension and mystery to this unknown journey.
"Who disturbed my sleep?"
This deafening roar seemed to come from the ancient abyss, penetrating the silence of thousands of years and echoing between the towering mountains. In an instant, the sky and the earth changed color, and the wind and clouds were moved. The beasts and birds in the mountains and forests were all panicked and fled in all directions, as if they had a premonition that an unprecedented storm was coming.
Inside the towering mountain, an ancient and powerful force was stirring. Along with the roar, the mountain seemed to have life and trembled slightly. Then, a cloud of demonic clouds that covered the sky and the sun suddenly burst out from the depths of the mountain, like a giant beast that had been sleeping for thousands of years suddenly waking up, with endless anger and unwillingness, dyeing the entire sky a dark ink color.
This demonic cloud rolled endlessly, with flashes of lightning and dancing snakes inside, like a raging sea or a doomsday catastrophe. In the turbulence, it released a frightening amount of energy. Under the demonic cloud, the mountains seemed to be shorter, the earth was shaking, the air was burning, and an indescribable atmosphere of terror enveloped the surroundings.
The appearance of the demonic cloud was not only visually shocking, but also accompanied by a vast and unparalleled spiritual pressure, surging like a tide. This power was ancient and powerful, and even the purple-gold divine dragon that roamed above the nine heavens, and its little dragon baby who had already ascended to the realm of the divine king, felt unprecedented oppression. A trace of horror flashed in their eyes, a tremor from the depths of their souls, as if a heavy burden was pressing on their hearts, making these beings who looked down on the sky feel suffocated, and their mental strength was on the verge of collapse.
In the distance, Chen Nan, who was stepping towards becoming a Heavenly Rank expert, could vaguely feel this inexplicable oppression even though he was far away from the Demonic Cloud. His brows were furrowed, his eyes were solemn, and the blood flowing in his body seemed to boil at this moment, resisting the invisible pressure. Even though he was strong-willed, he could not help but feel a burst of palpitations in front of this power, as if some ancient and terrifying existence was looking through this Demonic Cloud, coldly watching everything in the world.
