But the general trend is irreversible. In this situation, one can only comply with the will of heaven. After all, even the ancient gods of the restricted areas have become part of the dynasty. They don't believe they can change the situation.
As time slowly passed, countless continents of the Heaven Void Realm visibly connected together. The entire continent stirred up huge dust clouds, and the sea area was turbulent.
The earth shook, the tsunami roared, and even the origin stars at the top of the firmament trembled because of the void tremors caused by the unification of the continents, as if they were about to fall.
“After the continents unify, all the crystal veins of the Earth's core converge in one place, no longer as scattered as before. It seems that the energy being transported has also become purer...”
“I didn’t expect this kind of change. Could this be the reason why the martial arts of the Heaven Void Realm are weaker than other great worlds?”
Xuan Ming stroked his chin. After the continents unified, he observed the Earth's core with the Heavenly Dao Eye and was surprised to find that the energy it sent into the Divine Profound Continent was far stronger than that of the previous Great Wilderness and Immeasurable Space-Time.
Visibly to the naked eye, the heaven and earth energy surrounding the Divine Profound Continent, although not a surge, far exceeded any previous continent.
This gave Xuan Ming some understanding.
When he observed the starry sky, except for some closed great worlds,
basically, they all manifested outside the territory as a whole continent.
And in these great worlds, the civilization of living beings' martial arts is generally stronger than that of the Heaven Void Realm.
Xuan Ming previously thought that it was because the Heaven Void Realm was located in a remote area of the galaxy, but now it seems that it is because the internal territory of the Heaven Void Realm is too scattered, diluting and dispersing the energy of the Earth's core, making the Heaven Void Realm weaker than other great worlds in terms of martial arts.
“The Ninth Universe Galaxy, thirty-six great worlds, should have all initially existed as one continent, but why would the Heaven Void Realm change like this?” Xuan Ming was a little puzzled. After a long time, he shook his head slightly.
This question probably cannot be answered. It needs to be traced back to the ancient history of other epochs. With the current stage of power, understanding this is meaningless and a waste of time.
“Eh?”
Just as Xuan Ming retracted his mind, his gaze fell on the Southern Border of the Southern Continent, and a trace of fluctuation flashed in his eyes.
“Everyone who is okay, go to the Southern Border!” He issued an order, and then his divine soul returned to his main body. The vast and majestic Xuan Emperor Hall suddenly shook, and the aura of the Heavenly Dao was majestic.
At the same time.
Southern Continent, Southern Border County, Tongxuan Plain.
A loud noise suddenly erupted!
A crack extended from the earth.
Inside the crack, a middle-aged man wearing a dragon robe slowly walked out.
“I have finally broken through to the Divine Demon realm!”
............
Chapter 238: The Confusion and Shock of the Late Emperor
............
The late Emperor Xuan Ce clenched his fists.
Feeling the power within, which was far stronger than the ultimate Saint Realm.
He couldn't help but feel slightly emotional.
After a year of seclusion, this secret method of 'Becoming a Divine Demon' really didn't deceive him.
It was worth him giving up the Southern Continent's land, entering the underground, and feigning death to slumber.
“I wonder how my three sons have managed the dynasty in this year. Has A'Fu followed my instructions to maintain the dynasty's situation? And have those few Saints guessed the mystery of my feigned death?”
The late Emperor Xuan Ce stood with his hands behind his back, like an unparalleled expert, preparing to walk out of the Tongxuan Mountains.
But as he walked, his eyes suddenly narrowed.
“That's not right, when I was slumbering, this was clearly a vast mountain range, but now... when did it become a plain?” The late Emperor looked around at the Tongxuan Mountains, which were as flat as the ground, and stopped abruptly.
“This......” The late Emperor was a little dumbfounded.
The Saint Realm's memory is already exceptionally strong, let alone him, who has now broken through to the Divine Demon realm?
He can be sure that this is the former Tongxuan Mountains.
But......
“Also, I didn't pay much attention just now, but when did the spiritual energy of this Southern Continent become so rich?” A trace of surprise suddenly appeared on the late Emperor's face.
In just one year, not only did the Tongxuan Mountains, which occupied half of the Southern Border County's territory, disappear, but even the environment of heaven and earth far surpassed what it was before.
This made him feel a sense of weirdness for no reason.
“This doesn't seem like what it would be like after I slumbered for a year!”
The late Emperor was a little uneasy.
“Something's not quite right, I'll leave this place first and find out the situation before talking about returning to the throne.” The late Emperor took a slight breath, calmed his emotions, and decided to find a dynasty citizen to ask about the current situation.
The disappearance of the Tongxuan Mountains and the large increase in spiritual energy.
Made the late Emperor, who had sealed himself in a feigned death for a year, feel unable to understand.
Otherwise, after he had familiarized himself with his own power a little, he would have flown directly to the imperial capital, and it would have been impossible for him to stay in this remote place for long.
Tongxuan Plain, a vast area, stretching for hundreds of miles.
But with the speed of a Divine Demon, it can be crossed in just a few steps.
Just as the late Emperor was following the route in his memory, heading towards the nearby towns and villages, preparing to find someone to ask about the current situation.
Suddenly, he saw a middle-aged commoner holding a hoe, seemingly just finished with farm work, returning from the farmland.
The late Emperor couldn't help but lean over, about to call out to the other party.
Suddenly, his pupils shrank!
“This is!”
“The ultimate Saint Realm!”
The late Emperor stared at the passing villager, a trace of shock flashed in his eyes.
“Is it an existence hidden from the world, or a foreigner lurking in the dynasty?” The late Emperor's expression was solemn.
He never expected that he just wanted to casually find someone to ask about the situation.
But he encountered a powerhouse who had reached the ultimate Saint Realm.
It should be known that this realm is only one step away from crossing the Divine Demon realm. A year ago, it took him one or two hundred years of cultivation to barely reach it.
If this were a year ago, the appearance of this person would be enough to shake his position as the number one powerhouse in the Southern Continent, how could he not be solemn.
............
Li Tianyuan had just finished cultivating the medicinal field that the dynasty had assigned to him.
Preparing to return to the village to rest for a while.
But he had only walked halfway.
Suddenly, he felt the approach of a powerful aura. He looked up and saw a dignified man wearing a yellow robe, staring at him in shock.
“Stronger than me, should be a Divine Demon, but I haven't seen him before. I wonder if he's the village chief of another village or a Divine Demon from the city?” Li Tianyuan was a little茫然. He tried to sense the late Emperor's realm, which was stronger than him.
This made him sure that the other party was a Divine Demon.
But he was very strange.
Why was the other party looking at him with such surprise.
“Senior, I wonder why you are staring at a farmer like this?”
Li Tianyuan saluted the yellow-robed man.
Although he was a commoner, he knew a little about the rules between martial artists, so he saluted at the first moment.
“A farmer? Can an ordinary farmer have the cultivation of the ultimate Saint Realm?”
The late Emperor calmed his shocked heart, narrowed his eyes slightly, and leaned towards Li Tianyuan.
A powerhouse of the ultimate Saint Realm, lurking in the Southern Border County of the dynasty.
There must be some conspiracy.
He decided not to expose his identity for the time being, to see what the other party was trying to do.
“Senior!” Li Tianyuan saw that the late Emperor didn't speak and leaned over directly, so he quickly cupped his hands.
Although the dynasty has various systems of constraints, it is basically still a place where the strong are respected. These systems, at most, ensure that civilians are not humiliated and their lives are protected, but respect must still be given, and cannot be neglected.
“Senior seems to have just broken through to the Divine Demon realm?”
Just as the late Emperor was thinking in his heart about what means to use to force Li Tianyuan to reveal the secret of lurking in the dynasty, he suddenly heard what Li Tianyuan said, and was a little dumbfounded!
“How did you know?” The late Emperor frowned slightly.
He hadn't concealed his Divine Demon aura before.
It was natural that this unfamiliar powerhouse of the ultimate Saint Realm sensed it. He wasn't surprised.
But there is a huge gap between the Divine Demon and the Saint Realm. Standing in the Saint Realm, it is impossible to peek into the reality of the Divine Demon. How did this unfamiliar powerhouse know that he had just broken through to the Divine Demon?
Moreover!
This unfamiliar powerhouse clearly knew that he was a Divine Demon.
But he wasn't surprised at all, as if he was already used to it.
This made the late Emperor feel strange.
What kind of powerhouse is a Divine Demon? If he had encountered one a year ago, he would have been shocked and terrified. Li Tianyuan's reaction was obviously beyond the late Emperor's expectations.
“Uh... the village chief of our village also broke through to the Divine Demon some time ago. Just now when you leaned over, I sensed that your aura was similar to the village chief's, so I subconsciously mentioned it.” Li Tianyuan scratched his head embarrassedly.
“What!?” The late Emperor's face changed.
His gaze stared at Li Tianyuan, seeing that he didn't seem to be lying, he immediately felt a trace of shock.
Li Tianyuan, as a martial artist of the ultimate Saint Realm, the late Emperor believed that the other party knew what price he would pay for deceiving a Divine Demon.
His eyes fell on Li Tianyuan's clothes again.
Before, after he had seen through Li Tianyuan's cultivation, he didn't think that the other party was an ordinary villager, but now it seems that if that Divine Demon realm village chief is real, the other party may really just be a villager from that village.
“A Divine Demon realm serving as a village chief, the ultimate Saint Realm serving as a villager, when did such a terrifying village appear in my Southern Continent? Could it be a secluded village hidden from the world?” The late Emperor's chest rose and fell slightly, feeling a trace of disbelief.
