Chapter 1 The Advent

A mass of dark clouds blotted out the sky, growing larger as it approached, gradually engulfing the entire Yunshan Realm.

Heaven and earth plunged into darkness.

Countless creatures panicked, looking up at the sky, unable to see the heavens, the sun, or the moon. They could only see dense dark clouds, with a huge red shadow coiling within the cloud layer.

It was too enormous.

The entire Yunshan Realm could not contain its body. All that could be seen were blood-gold scales and claws, crackling with lightning. The terrifying physical power crushed the void, and most of its body stretched into the black hole.

"A great calamity! This is the great calamity predicted by the Heavenly Diviners more than three hundred years ago!"

"Run! Flee Yunshan Realm!"

"Wasn't it said that the great calamity was suppressed by several Celestial God behemoths? Why is it here again!"

In the Yunshan Realm, countless creatures roared in terror, and powerful sects hurriedly contacted several Celestial God realm behemoths.

At this critical moment, a dignified and composed voice emanated from the Xuantian Holy Land...

"With Us here, do not fear!"

This was the voice of Liu Shan Daoren, a Celestial God behemoth of the Xuantian Holy Land, stirring up wind and clouds, resounding throughout the entire Yunshan Realm.

"With a quick calculation, this hand can be won!"

This was the voice of the White-Robed Sword God, its sound waves like sword light sweeping across a million miles of sky.

"A mere evil monster serpent. If I draw my blade, this thing will surely die!"

The Saber God also spoke, his voice sonorous and powerful, carrying saber intent that permeated the heavens, forcefully tearing a gap in the dark cloud-covered sky, revealing the light of the outside world.

Subsequently, the other Celestial God behemoths in the Xuantian Holy Land also spoke one after another, each as confident as the heavens, their fighting spirit like fire, possessing an invincible will that looked down upon the world, their tone extremely calm and confident.

Upon hearing this, the beings of the Yunshan Realm cheered excitedly, their faces relaxing.

"These are our Celestial Gods of the Yunshan Realm! Who dares invade our Yunshan Realm?!"

"No matter what the origin of that thing above, it must die!"

"Everyone, open your eyes and wait and see! I can't wait to witness this historic moment."

Many creatures cultivating on the mountain peaks shouted excitedly.

But just then.

"Boom!"

The sky shattered.

A huge hole was torn open, bitten through by a bloody maw.

To be precise, it was a huge and hideous mouth that bit a hole in the firmament, the opening as large as half the Yunshan Realm, with turbulent temporal currents and howling gales raging inside.

"Help—!"

"Ah—!"

Countless creatures screamed in terror as a terrifying suction force emanated from the hole in the sky, sucking them in and turning them into blood mist in mid-air.

It was an apocalyptic and terrifying scene.

Countless people who had cultivated for thousands of years had never seen such a terrifying sight, which threatened to destroy the entire Yunshan Realm.

"Monster, cease your arrogance! Take my saber!"

From the peak of the Xuantian Holy Land, a stern shout rang out, followed by a snow-white saber light, like a silver river falling from the ninth heaven, descending and striking directly at the black cloud serpent shadow in the sky.

This saber light was too terrifying.

It caused the planets in the starry sky to tremble. The terrifying saber intent annihilated the sky, and in everyone's vision, only this peerless and sharp saber light remained.

In the Yunshan Realm, countless creatures watched this scene excitedly and expectantly.

Some who cultivated the saber path were even more excited, shouting, "Look, it's the Saber God taking action! The one I most admire and revere in my life is the Saber God!"

"No one can withstand his old man's saber!"

Saber path creatures were shouting excitedly, and the Saber Sect disciples on Saber God Mountain also raised their heads with pride in their eyes, their gazes bright and confident.

This saber strike would surely draw blood!

However, a "whoosh" sound was heard, like a bathhouse masseur scrubbing a back, producing only such a sound.

The peerless and sharp saber light struck the blood-gold scales in the black clouds of the sky, like a needle pricking the body of an elephant, and without causing any damage.

The saber light shattered, the sky cracked, but the blood-gold scales remained without the slightest trace.

Then, a dignified voice echoed between heaven and earth...

"Little friend, are you giving this one a massage? Come, slash a few more times."

The tone was mocking, with a strong sense of disdain.

In the Yunshan Realm, countless creatures were dumbfounded, rubbing their eyes, unable to believe this scene.

The powerful and invincible Saber God's peerless and sharp saber strike did not cause any damage to the monster in the black clouds, and was even ridiculed by the other party as a massage.

At the peak of the Xuantian Holy Land.

A group of Celestial God behemoths were stunned and shocked on the spot, swallowing their saliva in fear as they looked at the huge serpent shadow coiling in the black clouds.

The hand of the Saber God holding the saber trembled.

"This monster...it is definitely not in the middle stage of the Celestial God realm, it is at least in the late stage of the Celestial God realm!"

The Saber God's voice trembled.

The White-Robed Sword God had also wanted to draw his sword to try, but at this moment he was also discouraged. He looked at Liu Shan Daoren beside him and said anxiously, "Hasn't your Son of Heaven Dao Lord descended yet?"

Liu Shan Daoren angrily scolded, "This Daoist also wants to ask why the experts from your Mountain and Sea Realm headquarters have not descended? Wasn't it said that they would come to support us with Mountain and Sea Divine Weapons?"

They blamed and rebuked each other, while again urging the experts from their respective headquarters.

In the starry sky.

The huge serpent shadow lay across the starry sky like a blood-gold continent, the starry sky on its side already collapsed. It floated in the black hole of the starry sky, its terrifying baleful aura and radiation power extinguishing all living beings.

And below one of its heads was the Yunshan Realm.

Zhang Ji hovered, his huge serpent wings spread out, his scarlet vertical pupils staring at the Yunshan land, his gaze filled with emotion and complexity.

"This is the entrance to the Nine Mountains and Eighteen Seas, the Yunshan Realm?"

"Once upon a time, I longed for this place, regarding it as a holy land. Now that I have arrived and seen it, I am very disappointed... It seems there isn't much food here either!"

Zhang Ji sighed, his scarlet eyes piercing through the void, seeing the few Celestial God behemoths arguing endlessly at the peak of the Xuantian Holy Land. They were all existences in the early stage of the Celestial God realm, worthless, worth only 40 billion evolution points in one gulp.

Next evolution required 10 trillion evolution points. How many of these little guys would he have to swallow to gather 10 trillion!

"Listening to their arguments, it seems they are summoning experts from the Mountain and Sea Realm to descend... Hmm, let's look forward to it. I wonder what kind of expert will come, and whether they can knock off a piece of my serpent scale?"

Zhang Ji mused.

Since he was seriously injured after falling into the starry sky more than three hundred years ago, he had not felt pain for a long time.

He missed the feeling of pain.

But looking across the vast starry sky, there was already nothing that could hurt him and make him feel pain. He wondered if he would have the chance to experience the feeling of being injured this time.

Zhang Ji coiled in the sky, waiting, his Tiger Aspect Spiritual Platform's mental power covering the starry sky, searching for the aura of powerful beings.

They were all delicious food.

But in the blink of an eye, three days passed.

Still, the so-called experts had not descended.

Zhang Ji had no patience to wait any longer, and the few Celestial God behemoths at the peak of the Xuantian Holy Land were also quietly setting up formations, wanting to escape.

"Food already in my mouth, and you still want to run away?"

Zhang Ji's White-Eyed Wolf King head drooped down from the sky, its shadow covering the continent, swallowing it in one gulp.

As the gulp descended, a foul wind swept across a million miles, and evil energy surged into black mist. The entire Xuantian Holy Mountain, along with the surrounding mountains and rivers, was enveloped by the huge mouth.

At the same time, it sealed off the nine heavens and ten earths, isolating the void.

"Come all into my mouth—!"

The fierce voice resounded throughout the Yunshan Realm, like thunder shaking the earth, the void rumbling.

At the peak of the Xuantian Holy Land, Liu Shan Daoren and the other Celestial God behemoths turned pale with fright, shouting in horror, "Help—!"

And in the void, suddenly there was a surge.

Several terrifying auras suddenly burst out.

Liu Shan Daoren and the others were overjoyed, but the bloody mouth above their heads did not stop, still swallowing them in one gulp.

"Evil serpent, you are so bold!"

This was a grey-robed swordsman, his figure hazy, seemingly in the past, yet also in the future, his movements ethereal and unpredictable, strange and mysterious.

He was an expert from the Sword Sect's headquarters in the Mountain and Sea Realm, his cultivation reaching the middle stage of the Celestial God realm. Terrible sword intent flowed in his eyes, and he held a divine sword in his hand, the divine sword circulating with the imagery of the sun, moon, and stars, as well as the phantoms of mountains and seas rising and falling.

"Swish!"

As he gently drew out his long sword, the power of time and space surged on the blade. The starry sky was enveloped in sword energy, and several ancient stars exploded into fireworks.

This was the power of the Mountain and Sea Divine Weapon, already so terrifying even before it was unleashed, not comparable to Celestial Divine Weapons or Dao weapons.

"As expected, it's a Titan Serpent! This mount, this one is determined to have it!"

In the void, another figure walked out.

He came striding on the long river of time and space, emitting an aura of iron-blooded saber intent, holding a blood-colored long saber in his hand, filled with the terrifying baleful aura of the Mountain and Sea Divine Weapon. He did not know how many living beings he had slaughtered, carrying the power of unparalleled killing.

He was a strongman from the Mountain and Sea Realm's Saber Sect headquarters, his eyes gleaming with silver light, staring at the huge serpent shadow stretching across the starry sky. Greed appeared in his eyes.

Around the two, there were several other figures appearing.

Each figure's aura had reached the middle stage of the Celestial God realm, and they possessed Mountain and Sea Divine Weapons, their auras soaring to the sky, their baleful auras surging. They were all true experts.

They did not care at all about the few Celestial Gods who had just died, but instead looked at the serpent shadow in the starry sky, their eyes emitting a burning divine light.

But when they saw Zhang Ji's gaze, the few of them frowned, because the other party's eyes were even more fervent than theirs, even fiery, and full of joy and excitement.

"This gaze of yours, this one doesn't like it very much..." the grey-robed swordsman from the Sword Sect of the Mountain and Sea Realm said, his tone calm, but very cold.

Zhang Ji shook his seven heads and smiled gently, "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. Soon we will become one, and then you will like it."

As he spoke, the White-Eyed Wolf King head suddenly looked to one side of the void and grinned, "Good son, you've come, why don't you show yourself? Do you really not recognize your father?"

Everyone was stunned, looking at the void over there, not sensing any existence.

However, the void blurred for a moment, and an old Taoist walked out.

He was riding a grey donkey, and the old donkey was extremely restless, kicking its legs as it walked, and sometimes even sneezing. But when it sneezed, a black hole would explode in the distant starry sky, showing its terrifying power.

When a group of strongmen from the Mountain and Sea Realm saw this donkey-riding old Taoist, their expressions changed drastically.

"The Son of Heaven Dao Lord, the Son of Heaven Dao Lord of the Dao Sect has actually come!"

"If I'm not mistaken, this old donkey is the Teaching Guardian Heavenly Donkey of the Dao Sect's Dao Ancestor!"

"It's over, we have no chance. It seems this Titan Serpent will be obtained by the Dao Sect."

Everyone transmitted their voices to discuss, their faces all unsightly.

However, the Son of Heaven Dao Lord had a smile on his face as he rode the grey donkey, slowly stepping through the void, looking at Zhang Ji. A baleful aura appeared in his eyes for a moment, then he laughed playfully.

"Father?! Tsk tsk, even on the verge of death, you're still so stubborn. Today, this Daoist will make you call me Daddy!"

The Son of Heaven Dao Lord raised his head.

Zhang Ji looked at him, "You rebellious son, you'll lift the roof if you're not beaten for three days. It's only been a few hundred years since we last met, and you actually don't recognize your father!"

Seeing that he still wanted to say something, Zhang Ji roared, "Enough nonsense! All of you, come into my mouth!"

Whoosh~

He pounced out, his huge serpent shadow suddenly transforming into seven clones in the starry sky, pouncing on all the Celestial God experts.

"Courting death!"

"How dare you!"

"Mountain and Sea Divine Weapon, suppress!"

The group of experts roared, relying on their Mountain and Sea Divine Weapons without fear. At this moment, their attacks released terrifying energy that made the starry sky boil and annihilate. A terrifying divine light enveloped Zhang Ji.

However.

"Rumble"

All the attacks landed on Zhang Ji's body, but only produced sparks, unable to break through the serpent scale defenses at all.

The group of Celestial God experts were shocked and dismayed.

"What kind of physical body is this? Even Mountain and Sea Divine Weapons can't injure it?!"

They panicked, their faces horrified.

The Mountain and Sea Divine Weapons were their reliance, otherwise they would not dare to come here and shout. But at this moment, the Mountain and Sea Divine Weapons could not severely injure Zhang Ji, so they turned around and fled, wielding their divine weapons.

"Where are you going, my little darlings? All of you, come into my mouth."

Zhang Ji's serpent shadows appeared from all directions of the starry sky, sealing off the heavens and earth, imprisoning the void. The Celestial God experts screamed, but all stopped abruptly.

The donkey-riding Son of Heaven Dao Lord's expression changed drastically, and he said in horror, "You...you're not in the Celestial God realm, you're in the God Monarch realm... Run!"

He slapped the grey donkey's butt, and the grey donkey hurriedly turned its head and fled wildly.

Seeming to think it was running too slowly, it whipped its tail and knocked the Son of Heaven Dao Lord off its back. It kicked its legs and burrowed into the black hole in the starry sky, a light of destruction appearing on its head, breaking through Zhang Ji's seal and disappearing in an instant.

"Eh?! This old donkey has some skills!"

Zhang Ji glanced sideways, his scarlet vertical pupils looking into the depths of the starry sky. This old donkey's strength was actually stronger than the Son of Heaven Dao Lord.

The Son of Heaven Dao Lord was sealed off in the starry sky, looking at the huge serpent shadow engulfing him. He was desperate and terrified, revealing a fawning and flattering smile, "Father, I am willing to submit to you, to listen to your words..."

"Whoosh~"

Zhang Ji swallowed him in one gulp.

"It's better to come into my mouth, the great love is when father and son become one!"

Zhang Ji's scarlet vertical pupils gleamed with cold light, listening to the sound of evolution points in his mind, still far short.

He roared, and his seven clones pounced towards the Nine Mountains and Eighteen Seas below, devouring all living beings and creatures, without right or wrong, without gratitude or resentment, only for the sake of strength and evolution.

What Human Race, what Demon Race, what Angel Race, Asura Race, as long as they were creatures that caught his eye, all were devoured by Zhang Ji.

This was a great calamity for the Nine Mountains and Eighteen Seas, the darkest and bloodiest turmoil.

The tombs of many old monsters who had been sleeping and pretending to be dead for countless years were forcibly dug open and eaten by Zhang Ji, and many Celestial Gods who had fled to the outer regions were hunted down and killed by Zhang Ji.

The halls of the Twelve Divine Kingdoms could not escape their doom either, being swallowed casually by Zhang Ji.

In the depths of the starry sky, the Black Prison Star that had been suspended for countless years was swallowed whole by Zhang Ji in one gulp, and terrifying roars came from within, one after another.

They were all powerful beings from various races, who had been imprisoned and suppressed for countless years and could not be obliterated, but at this moment, they all became Zhang Ji's food.

In the following years.

Strongmen from the Mountain and Sea Realm continuously descended with Mountain and Sea Divine Weapons, attempting to suppress Zhang Ji, but they were all devoured by Zhang Ji.

The name of the Evil Serpent spread throughout the entire Mountain and Sea Realm, and everyone was in danger, and all the major forces were panic-stricken.

Finally.

One day, the Mountain and Sea Realm, which had been sealed off for countless eras, suddenly exploded with a loud noise, and a huge serpent shadow arrived...

This was a bloody and terrifying battle.

Countless ancient forces participated in the battle. The Dao Sect, the Buddhist Sect, the Sword Sect, the Saber Sect, and the ancestral level beings from various aristocratic families and ancient lands all took action. The light of the Mountain and Sea Divine Weapons tore through the sky and reversed the flow of time and space.

The battle lasted for more than a thousand years.

The Mountain and Sea Realm collapsed and turned into ruins. Countless sacred mountains and great peaks disappeared forever. The earth was crisscrossed with ravines, with only the famous rivers and lakes sunk by the Mountain and Sea Divine Weapons remaining, as well as the mountain ranges and great abysses crushed by the serpent's body.
