Gods Vanish on a Cloudy Day
Chapter 5 Limitless Power
For countless years, the H渾ntiān Realm has rarely suffered attacks from outside powerhouses.
Firstly, most of the powerhouses who can reach the H渾ntiān Realm without being disturbed by the elements of chaos are those with origins related to the H渾ntiān Realm.
They may have grudges with some forces within the H渾ntiān Realm, but the H渾ntiān Realm itself is not a unified entity. Even if these powerhouses seek revenge, they are not seeking revenge against the entire world. Instead, they try to join forces with other forces, integrate into H渾ntiān, and then carry out their plans.
As for those truly terrifying existences that could threaten the H渾ntiān Realm as a whole, whether they are demons of the Twilight lineage or void behemoths... they are simply not a problem.
As everyone knows, the H渾ntiān Realm is constantly traveling through the multiverse at an incredible speed, spinning, rotating, and leaping. Its speed and erratic route are like an old driver drifting on Mount Akina.
Those guys can't even keep up with H渾ntiān's speed, so how can they attack it?
Only powerhouses standing at the peak of the Dao Integration Realm, or even at the level of the Great Flood, can attempt to capture the trajectory of the H渾ntiān Realm and then continuously accumulate clues and karma, eventually arriving at the H渾ntiān Realm without relying on any causal relationships.
And such existences, in the past endless ages, have numbered no more than three, and each one arrived before the H渾ntiān Realm's first Sacred, ‘Qian Yuan Daozun,’ opened the First Epoch in the distant ancient times.
In other words, relying on this method is almost impossible to succeed.
However, in this multiverse, the accumulation of infinite possibilities will always produce some incredible, bizarre, unbelievable, and indescribable existences, which can only be called 'anomalies,' 'immeasurable,' or even 'monsters.'
Just like now.
Dao Integration Realm powerhouse Zhu Diwen is now obediently hiding in a corner of the void, watching the figure striding out of the silver gate. He nonchalantly raises his right hand towards those Dao Integration Realm experts who are forming formations, operating divine powers, or attempting to use the power of the H渾ntiān Three Thousand Realms to send him back behind the gate.
Instantly, a chaotic void well appears, the vortex spinning, the endless suction power shaking the void, instantly pulling several Dao Integration Realm experts with less profound cultivation into a scream, flying backwards towards the deep well vortex.
Universe in a sleeve? Divine kingdom in the palm? Or perhaps simpler, just using infinitely great power to stir the void, creating a vortex?
Zhu Diwen doesn't know the specifics—anyway, he has found a place to fix himself, and the wonderful thing is that the suction force released by the Primordial Candle Dragon only affects those in the Dao Integration Realm. None of the world dust floating in the surrounding void or the H渾ntiān Three Thousand Realms are affected, even those worlds that are as small as dust compared to Dao Integration Realm experts.
[Form the formation! Form the formation! Use the寰宇诸因图 (Huanyu Zhu Yin Tu, All-Encompassing Chart of Causes) to construct the Great Mandala!]
[Retreat to H渾ntiān, he can't break in!]
[He's a madman, we have no grievances with him, why did he suddenly come to attack us?!]
[How did this Primordial Candle Dragon arrive here in an instant without any fluctuations? In theory, this is impossible!]
The other Dao Integration Realm experts, as if only now understanding that Su Zhou is really making a move, not bluffing or joking, immediately communicate with each other. Strands of divine sense lock onto Su Zhou's aura, and then they all attack him.
But in Zhu Diwen's eyes, Su Zhou doesn't care at all. He calmly shakes his wrist, his five fingers grasping the void, and instantly, a phantom of divine tree roots, from who knows where, manifests and extends towards the Dao Integration Realm experts' formation.
The roots of the divine tree are deep green and black. Wherever they pass, all divine powers and spiritual energy fluctuations become calm. No matter what kind of attack, whether it is a spell to destroy space-time or a tribulation fire to burn all karma, it cannot stir up the slightest ripple when it hits the roots of the divine tree.
These roots wrap around those Dao Integration Realm experts who cannot resist the suction, instantly transporting them to an unknown prison—and Zhu Diwen knows very well that the tracking point for these old friends must be the Candle Dragon Heaven.
At this moment, after capturing those Dao Integration Realm experts, Su Zhou reaches out and lifts upwards.
He clenches his right hand, like the King of Gods gripping the lightning of judgment.
Instantly, within the entire void, the hearts of all Dao Integration Realm experts sound the alarm. In that instant, the H渾ntiān Three Thousand Realms, which originally revolved around the H渾ntiān Realm, and even the beings within the Three Thousand Realms, all feel their bodies lighten, as if some kind of shackle has been broken—all spiritual energy, all karma, and even the continuity of space-time, are grasped by Su Zhou.
And the 'Great Mandala,' which has already taken shape, constructed by dozens of Dao Integration Realm experts working together, collapses in this instant. They are shocked and angry because even the Dao Integration Realm experts' sense of their own Great Dao has been cut off for an instant.
[Enough!] [Now's the time!]
But even so, the leader, the Extinction Dao Lord Jingjianaluoyan, and the Heavenly Nether Dao Lord Yanmojie, rely on the moment the Mandala takes shape to condense enough power.
Instantly, it can be seen that a giant hand constructed from endless bitter sea karmic fire condenses from the combined power of the two Dao Lords, rises up, and then, carrying the power to move thousands of worlds, presses down fiercely towards the center of Su Zhou's face.
—Not seeking to kill, not seeking to defeat, this strike only seeks to drive the 'Primordial Candle Dragon' away from the timeline and causal chain where the H渾ntiān Realm is located. In this way, even the Great Flood will not be able to lock the location of the H渾ntiān Realm again in a short time, and at that time, they will have time to contact the Five Sacreds and request the Sacreds to take action and protect H渾ntiān!
But let's not talk about how the Jinyuan Dao (Exhaustive Origin Path) divine power doesn't pay attention to any cause and effect or time, and arrives the moment it is conceived.
Facing that world-shifting giant hand that even H渾ntiān can shake, Su Zhou simply closes his eyes.
"I didn't see it." He seems to be self-hypnotizing, or just casually perfunctory—then, in the horrified eyes of the Extinction Dao Lord and the Heavenly Nether Dao Lord, the Great Hand condensed by the Great Mandala disappears completely, as if it never existed.
Even Zhu Diwen, who already knows Su Zhou's great power, widens his eyes, and then quickly hides further away.
—The supreme divine power of the Silent Lord, 'Unyielding Soul,' if pushed with infinite power, is not just an autistic barrier of the heart, but also can correct the multiverse. As long as one does not acknowledge it, one can turn all attacks and injuries that can threaten oneself into 'nothing.' Whether it is a wound, poison, bad mood, corrupt thoughts, or even the most unremarkable enemy's attack, the Unyielding Soul can eliminate them all.
As long as they want to, the person holding the Unyielding Soul possesses eternal passion, an eternal soul that cannot be shaken no matter how many cycles it undergoes, even if it is washed by infinite time!
Opening his eyes again, Su Zhou looks at the two Dao Lords in front of him, as well as the frightened Dao Integration Realm experts sheltered behind the two Dao Lords, with interest.
This is the first time he has looked at the other party directly, seemingly like observing a few extremely unique rare specimens.
Then, he raises his hand, clenches it into a fist, and swings it towards the direction of the Dao Integration Realm experts.
This punch is very slow, even the turbulent spiritual light leaving the fist is very slow. They tumble, surge, and spin in the void, and their power increases infinitely with each distance they travel.
Theoretically, the best choice when facing this kind of unreasonable infinite power attack is definitely not to block it head-on, but to dodge and avoid it.
However, facing Su Zhou's punch, all Dao Integration Realm experts, even the two Dao Lords, show despair—because this punch is not only powerful, but also has an infinitely large range of capture. No matter how they run or dodge, as long as there is still the concept of speed, as long as there is still the concept of distance, they can never avoid Su Zhou's punch.
[Element·Infinity]
Such great power, if it exists alone, may not be impossible to avoid. Dao Integration Realm experts also possess relative infinite power. If they are prepared and pay the price, they should be able to block this infinite punch.
But, if you add [Element·Eternity]...
Facing that eternally sustained, never-ending, ever-increasing power, even the best among the Dao Integration Realm peaks, strong enough to directly serve as a Dao Lord in H渾ntiān, can only choose to close their eyes and wait for death.
Zhu Diwen was not captured by the infinite punch, but he saw that after an instant that was both slow and fast, an extremely dazzling light bloomed and burst forth from the void—
The H渾ntiān Realm, the H渾ntiān Three Thousand Realms, and the surrounding multiverse void, within the range that a Dao Integration Realm peak expert explores to the limit, a round of eternal blazing sun rises.
Everything is illuminated.
Su Zhou's punch instantly explodes the cluster of Dao Integration Realm experts, and the incredible torrent of spiritual energy directly blows them all away. Some are directly blasted unconscious, and then instantly captured by Su Zhou's power and transported to Candle Dragon Heaven, while others barely hold on, but uncontrollably crash into many worlds, or simply into the H渾ntiān Realm.
Strangely, that punch, which seemed powerful enough to annihilate the entire H渾ntiān Three Thousand Realms in an instant, did not cause even the slightest harm to any non-Dao Integration Realm existence. Even the light is not dazzling. When some students in some worlds look up at the shining light in the high sky, even their nearsightedness is completely cured. The principle is completely unknown, but it is very Candle Dragon-like.
[The Great Flood I've seen before—wasn't this strong?!]
Yanmojie's main body is just a mass of invisible karma, and he suffers the least impact. After Su Zhou takes the initiative to restrain his power and end this punch, his Dharma body is limp and unable to resist, but he still has the power to think.
But even so, he cannot maintain the style and calmness he had before. This Dao Lord's heart is full of confusion: [The Great Flood we encountered in the past... although also possessed infinite power, their power...]
Of course, he can't understand it. After all, not every Great Flood is like Su Zhou, able to arm himself to the teeth with great inheritances—even Great Floods who also possess great inheritances may not know more than him. This is something that Yanmojie, who has not yet reached infinity, cannot understand.
As for the other side, Jīngjiānáluōyán doesn't say anything. He directly burns his Dharma body, transforming into a stream of dark flames flickering with a few stars, and rushes towards the direction of the H渾ntiān Realm at high speed.
Fight? Block? What a joke, if you don't ask for help now, you can only not ask for help in the future! If you don't find the Five Sacreds now, when will you?
The Moshi Extinction Dao is not a suicidal Dao domain. They only exist independently of the multiverse, helping all members cut off their karma. Being beaten badly or killed now would create too much karma. Even true spirit reincarnation might not be able to escape it!
The dark stream of flames is extremely fast. Even Zhu Diwen, who is also at the peak of the Dao Integration Realm and only slightly inferior, almost couldn't see it clearly. By the time this Prison-Suppressing Divine Elephant sees where the other party is, the Extinction Dao Lord has already touched the edge of the H渾ntiān Realm.
But unfortunately, that's fake.
Su Zhou's figure appears in front of the Extinction Dao Lord. He raises his hand and leisurely pushes the H渾ntiān Realm away—as the void ripples with terrifying ripples enough to tear apart many great worlds, the entire H渾ntiān Realm shifts to one side.
The distance between the Extinction Dao Lord and the H渾ntiān Realm increases by such a negligible amount.
And that little bit is a chasm that can never be crossed.
Then, the Extinction Dao Lord crashes into Su Zhou, and then disappears in the silver light.
All the Dao Integration Realm experts are stunned in place. They don't move at all.
Even those who were still planning to escape secretly have now completely given up and simply sit down cross-legged on the spot.
[Fortunately, I surrendered and confessed early and got a suspended sentence—]
Seeing this scene, Zhu Diwen, who has been hiding aside and has not been affected by any attacks or aftermath, breathes a sigh of relief. He says with lingering fear: [Although I don't quite understand what crime I committed, the Primordial Candle Dragon said that he would not punish without teaching, so let's wait for him to lecture and give classes at that time.]
Come to think of it, being able to listen to a Great Flood lecture, even as a suspended sentence prisoner, doesn't sound bad?
Thinking this way, he becomes happy instead.
At the same time, Su Zhou raises his head and looks in the direction of the H渾ntiān Realm.
"Interesting." He murmurs to himself: "Demons, gods, immortals—among those Dao Integration Realm experts just now, there were even mechanized warship transformations..."
The multiverse is vast and endless. Even an infinite universe is just a drop in the ocean in this sealed multiverse, like a grain of sand, repeating the uncertain birth and death, and the cycle of reincarnation.
Universes of the same attribute and category will gradually affect the multiverse void due to the resonance of the Great Dao's order, causing it to produce new, identical universes, and at the same time attract other identical universes, gradually forming a void world group—to put it simply, immortal cultivation backgrounds will have immortal cultivation world groups, technology backgrounds will have technology world groups, magic, Pocket Monsters, Blazing Teens, tokusatsu… and so on, no matter how chaotic and inexplicable the category, in the multiverse, one can always find many like-minded people and then condense into a group.
Even if some world groups are not like this, but are composed of universes with different Great Daos, that is essentially to prepare for combining into a larger, more solid, and compatible Great Universe.
The H渾ntiān Realm is naturally the same—the H渾ntiān Three Thousand Realms is the H渾ntiān Realm's world group. Theoretically speaking, it should be many worlds similar to the H渾ntiān Realm.
However, in reality, the types of worlds in the H渾ntiān Three Thousand Realms are extremely complex.
Immortal Dao universes, Divine Dao universes, arcane universes, technology universes, karma universes...
Among the Three Thousand Realms, there are almost no universes of the same category.
Just like just now, the cultivation methods of the many Dao Integration Realm experts Su Zhou captured are all different.
Clearly, they are world groups derived from the H渾ntiān Realm, but they manifest such chaotic and strange situations.
Su Zhou naturally will not attribute all the reasons to 'it's all Yala's fault'—according to his observations in many primordial worlds, great existences will not deliberately influence the primordial world. Instead, the universe will change slightly because of the essence of the great existence.
It is the beings of the H渾ntiān Realm who have created such a chaotic situation.
So the young man is very curious.
"Hey."
Thinking of this, he speaks to the silent H渾ntiān Realm, which he had just pushed: "Are the Five Sacreds there?"
Amidst the fearful, timid, and even respectful gazes of the many Dao Integration Realm experts, the young man raises his hand and, like knocking on a door, lightly taps on the universe barrier of the H渾ntiān Realm, making a '咚咚咚 (dong dong dong)' sound: "Don't pretend you're not there. If you don't come out, I'll open the door and go in myself later."
"You have the ability to play with space-time karma, but not the ability to open a door?"
