Chapter 605: Chapter 604: World Collapses as Everyone Appears; Grand Thousand Immortal Realm Shocked Throughout [Second Update]

Tathagata’s gaze was deep, and his words carried hidden meanings.

However, Confucius merely smiled slightly, indifferent, and said: "Tathagata Buddha, don’t you find witnessing such history interesting?"

Tathagata Buddha shook his head and said solemnly, "Some things should not be given a sense of fun."

"True enough." Confucius nodded, saying, "Therefore, some things, being great endeavors, should not be stopped."

His robe fluttered as he stood at the forefront of the tide, like an elder who has seen many storms, and did not find the impending events unbearable.

This made Tathagata Buddha quite helpless, sighing, "Sometimes, I truly wish to teach you a lesson, old Master Kong."

Confucius, upon hearing this, smiled humbly and said, "I am willing to accept the Buddha’s teachings."

His attitude made one feel like their fist struck cotton.

"Forget it."

"Fighting with a Saint is tiring." Tathagata Buddha said helplessly, his mood gradually calming down. He no longer thought of going to stop the battlefield but curiously asked, "Do you think Venerable Emperor Chong’en will encounter any issues?"

Confucius pondered for a moment and said, "This lifetime, nothing would be surprising."

"However..."

Confucius paused, murmuring, "It depends on whether they are fully prepared or not, after all, Saints don’t fall easily."

...

...

The battlefield.

By then, it had fallen into silence here.

Billions of miles of land had been leveled, and the stars in the sky had all extinguished.

The entire world was shrouded in a faint blood-red.

In the crimson hue, one could see many black marks appearing in this heaven and earth.

Those were cracks.

This independent world that the Red-bottomed Macaque had forged over countless millions or even tens of millions of years had endured the ultimate blow under Yang Jian’s terrifying Celestial Eye energy unleashing.

The boundaries in ten directions had all been riddled with cracks, just a hair’s breadth away from shattering and collapsing.

"Truly, terrifying beyond compare..."

Ying Zheng, who had somehow arrived beside the crowd, had previously suffered a severe blow from Venerable Emperor Chong’en, and his Black Dragon form shattered, returning to his original form.

The formerly imposing and majestic Black Dragon Robe was now tattered like willow catkins, but his towering figure still radiated the aura of a king.

Even when severely injured.

Ying Zheng still possessed that all-encompassing air of dominance.

"Who would have thought that within his Celestial Eye, there would actually be a drop of Pangu Essence Blood..."

The Demon Fog gathered again as Wutian stood with his hands behind his back, looking at Yang Jian with a face full of emotion.

"Pangu Essence Blood?" Ying Zheng raised his eyebrows slightly, clearly unaware until Wutian spoke that Yang Jian’s Celestial Eye’s power was actually related to the legendary Pangu who opened the heavens and earth.

"Pangu perished with the creation of the cosmos; how could Yang Jian possess his essence blood?" Ying Zheng questioned, feeling puzzled.

"It’s the axe."

Wutian said calmly, "Years ago, Yang Jian’s mother Yao Ji was crushed beneath Taoshan. Yang Jian found a Mountain-Opening Divine Axe to split the mountain and save his mother."

"Unfortunately, although he succeeded in splitting the mountain, Yao Ji had already been burned to death by the Ten Golden Crows."

"Later, Yang Jian wielded the axe to slay the Golden Crows and only then discovered the axe contained Pangu Essence Blood. He absorbed this blood into himself, which led him to achieve physical sainthood."

Wutian revealed some of Yang Jian’s past, which were things he had learned by infiltrating Yang Jian’s body in his Heart Demon form.

Hearing this, even Ying Zheng couldn’t help but marvel, "Unexpected, that he had such serendipity."

"To die under Pangu’s power, Venerable Emperor Chong’en was not too unjustly treated."

"The pity is, his corpse is nowhere to be found; my efforts were in vain this time..."

Ying Zheng looked at where Venerable Emperor Chong’en had been.

By then, it was empty, even the void seemed to have been erased, which filled Ying Zheng with regret.

In response, Wutian shrugged, "Same here, I was hoping to devour the Saint’s Spirit, but alas..."

Saying this, he glanced over at Lin Heng not far away, smiling, "Taixu Celestial Venerable, shouldn’t you, perhaps, compensate the two of us?"

It was clearly a jest.

However, Lin Heng, at this moment, wasn’t in the mood to respond; instead, his expression was intensely serious.

"Why has the aura of heaven and earth mourning not appeared?"

Once these words were uttered.

Both Ying Zheng and Wutian started, then their gazes tightened slightly.

"Maybe...it’s because this place belongs to the Red-bottomed Macaque, and the Saint falling here doesn’t evoke the sorrow of heaven and earth?" Wutian ventured a guess, but his tone was filled with speculation, clearly uncertain.

Then, at this moment.

The space rippled; the Black and White Double Caves manifested, and the Red-bottomed Macaque emerged from it. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

It looked anxious, pointing to the distant horizon: "The Saint is not dead, a remnant spirit is breaking through the world, trying to escape to the Grand Thousand Immortal Realm!"

What?

With these words, everyone’s expressions changed drastically.

Right at that moment.

This world trembled.

Focusing their gazes urgently in the direction the Red-bottomed Macaque was pointing, they saw none other than the dim figure of Venerable Emperor Chong’en, putting all his strength into smashing at a fissure.

"This is bad!"

Wutian’s face changed color on the spot, anxiously saying, "We cannot let him return to the Immortal Realm, or he will restore his Saint form again!"

Everyone quickly looked toward Yang Jian.

However, Yang Jian, having just opened his Celestial Eye wide, had been drained of his strength, now sitting crumpled on the ground, his head drooped, long since unconscious.

The Red-bottomed Macaque turned pale and suddenly said, "It’s too late."

As soon as he spoke.

A rumbling roar was heard, as countless Chaos Qi descended from the heavens.

At the same time, the billions of miles of earth cracked open, raising countless pieces of yellow sand.

At that moment.

A near-hysterical voice echoed from the horizon.

"Ants, ants!"

"Even if you open the Celestial Eye, what can it do?"

"I have proven the Dao; I am a Saint, I am undying and indestructible."

"But you are not the same!"

"Today, all of you must die, must die!!"

Heaven and earth were torn open, this world began to collapse, Venerable Emperor Chong’en laughed maniacally at the rise of the sun.

The air of the Immortal Realm flooded in.

No.

To be precise, this world had collapsed.

They were again exposed to the Grand Thousand Immortal Realm.

And by that time, the Immortal Realm was already crowded with countless beings, all looking over.

Every creature wore a look of stupefaction, completely unaware of the situation.

Only those Quasi-Saints, those ancient powerful beings, showed expressions of shock.

"What is that?"

"A hidden world has collapsed..."

"Look quickly, it’s that Taixu Celestial Venerable, no, and Yang Jian, and Great Qin’s Ancestral Dragon, and the Demon Realm’s Wutian."

"And that monkey, that’s the legendary Red-bottomed Macaque!"

"Wait...is that Venerable Emperor Chong’en?"

"Why is his body so damaged?"

"Oh heavens, did they just engage in a battle against a Saint in an independent world?"

"Hiss..."

Quasi-Saints from all sides sighed, drawing in cold air, taken aback by the scene before them.
