Undying Life

Chapter 821: Rebellion

36663636

In the sky above the mortal realm, boundless thunderclouds gathered, their dark masses stretching endlessly, far surpassing the clouds summoned by ancient gods in the past.

Within these dark clouds, wild lightning crackled with a roaring fury. These were no ordinary bolts of lightning; they had merged to form dragon-shaped bolts. Roaring, dragon-shaped lightning converged from all directions.

The roaring thunder dragons shook the entire realm, making the sky and earth tremble. Multicolored thunder dragons, representing ultimate destructive forces, filled the sky.

Heaven's mighty thunder?

Zhong Shan raised his head, a trace of disdain flashing in his eyes. This look of disdain seemed to provoke the countless thunder dragons. Like a waterfall from the heavens, the terrifying thunder dragons roared as they surged towards Zhong Shan.

"Roar～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～!" "Roar～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～!" "Boom～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～!" ...

Thousands of thunder dragons plunged down with terrifying momentum, tearing the space above apart as they descended with the power of the heavens.

Tian Ling'er covered her mouth, her eyes wide with a flash of worry. Zhong Shan raised his hand, and the Fang Tian Seal soared skyward.

As the Fang Tian Seal ascended, it rapidly enlarged, transforming into a colossal seal spanning miles, ready to meet the oncoming thunder dragons.

"Boom～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～!"

With a violent collision, thousands of thunder dragons exploded on the spot. The Fang Tian Seal continued its ascent, shattering the space around it. In an instant, it reached the boundless thunderclouds.

"Boom～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～!"

Time seemed to freeze at that moment. The dark clouds shattered under the impact of the Fang Tian Seal, scattering in all directions.

A single seal dispersed the heavens!

Effortlessly, Zhong Shan had dispelled the first heavenly tribulation. Some had seen the ancient god's dispersing seal in the past, but its power couldn't compare to Zhong Shan's seal.

First, Zhong Shan's Fang Tian Seal was immensely larger. Secondly, after the seal dispersed the heavens, a massive black hole appeared in the sky. Even when Zhong Shan retracted the Fang Tian Seal, the black hole slowly recovered, but a frame with eight characters inside it remained, unable to heal.

"Heaven's Mandate, Eternal Prosperity!"

Zhong Shan's seal had imprinted a grand mark on the sky, one that couldn't fade. Even under the laws of heaven and earth, the black hole shaped by these characters couldn't be filled.

People watched this scene in shock, holding their breath, astonished by their ruler's power.

The Sovereign hadn't even utilized the power of the Daxia realm, nor had the underworld begun its tribulation.

Imprinting a grand seal on the heavens? The seal remaining was akin to an insult to the heavens.

Thus, the heavens knew this wasn't a simple mortal tribulation but the creation of a new world. It was the opening of the heavens and the earth.

Above the eight characters, the sky rumbled, and endless red clouds gathered.

More and more red clouds amassed, slowly forming a colossal smooth surface, half embedded in the red clouds and half exposed.

Above the eight characters, the sky rumbled, and endless red clouds gathered.

More and more red clouds amassed, slowly forming a colossal smooth surface, half embedded in the red clouds and half exposed.

The Eye of Heaven!

The Eye of Heaven appeared once more. Everyone knew the Eye of Heaven couldn't do anything to Zhong Shan, but how would Zhong Shan face it? The Eye of Heaven had been the strongest existence in this world until the ancient god broke its myth with the Heaven-Opening Axe. How would Zhong Shan confront it?

How to confront it? No one knew Zhong Shan had already faced it once before.

As the enormous Eye of Heaven slowly opened, its boundless might pressed deeply into everyone's hearts, compelling a sense of worship, an absolute oppressive force.

In the Lingxiao Heavenly Court, the ministers watched intently.

In a distant valley near the mouth of the two realms, Yi Lanque and his clan observed the Eye of Heaven from afar, brows furrowed.

On the other side of the two realms, another figure stood— a man in black robes holding a long sword. The sword was sheathed, but it seemed fused with his body. A crimson flame mark burned between the man's brows, exuding a fierce aura.

If Zhong Shan were here, he would immediately recognize Zhao Tiansha!

Once the eldest disciple of the Kaiyang Sect, Zhao Tiansha had mastered the 'Heaven-Slaying Sword Technique.' Before Zhong Shan appeared, he was a peerless prodigy, but his fortunes changed after Zhong Shan's rise. The women he once pursued, Bei Qingsi and Tian Ling'er, both ended up with Zhong Shan. Influenced by Zhong Shan, Zhao Tiansha's path of slaughter ascended rapidly.

Yet, Zhao Tiansha still dared not challenge Zhong Shan directly, at least not now.

Watching the Eye of Heaven, the crimson flame between Zhao Tiansha's brows flared. He narrowed his eyes, glaring coldly at Zhong Shan from afar.

Let's see how you die!

The Eye of Heaven opened, still bearing the scars left by the ancient god, but now larger than before. Clearly, the devastating impact of the Ancient God's strike had been immense.

Someone seeking to open the heavens and earth would naturally provoke the Eye of Heaven's wrath. Filled with boundless anger, it gazed down at the one daring to offend its might.

But upon seeing the offender, the blood-red pupil of the Eye of Heaven contracted in an eerie manner.

It's him? That monster?

Zhong Shan gazed calmly at the Eye of Heaven, and the Eye stared back at him.

Thus began their stalemate.

"What's going on? Why isn't the Eye of Heaven moving?" the Yi Clan's ancestor asked.

"I don't know, it's strange!" Yi Lanque also couldn't understand.

In the Lingxiao Heavenly Court, ministers watched in confusion. What happened to the Eye of Heaven? Where was its earlier domineering aura? What happened to the strength it showed against the ancient god? Had it been dumbfounded by the ancient god's strike? Now it was unresponsive?

Dumbfounded? Impossible. The Eye of Heaven represented the authority of the Small Thousand World and its heavenly law. It should have no emotions, only instincts.

As people watched in bewilderment, something strange occurred.

The endless red clouds slowly dispersed, and the gigantic Eye of Heaven began to close as if retreating.

Everyone was stunned. What had the Eye of Heaven come for? Was it retreating? Had it been frightened away by Zhong Shan?

Such an absurd explanation seemed to be the only one. Was the Eye of Heaven scared off? In the past, anyone suggesting this would be deemed insane. The Eye of Heaven, representing the heavenly law of the Small Thousand World, could be scared off?

Yet the truth was before their eyes. The Eye of Heaven was indeed slowly disappearing, seemingly unwilling to confront Zhong Shan.

"Do you still have a way out?!" Zhong Shan suddenly shouted.

Zhong Shan shouted loudly, his eyes fixed on the sky, staring at the Eye of Heaven.

Everyone found this bizarre—what was the Sovereign doing? Was he speaking to the Eye of Heaven? Could it even understand?

But reality often defied everyone's expectations. Just as the Eye of Heaven was about to retreat, it suddenly stopped. The red clouds churned again, and the half-closed Eye of Heaven reopened.

The colossal Eye of Heaven stared resolutely at Zhong Shan, as if ready to fight him to the death.

Zhong Shan suddenly extended his right hand, twisting it towards the sky. A massive pulling force immediately enveloped the Eye of Heaven, and it seemed as if countless beams of white light shot down from it, being drawn into Zhong Shan's hand.

At this moment, the crack in the Eye of Heaven slowly began to disappear. Zhong Shan, possessing the Heaven-Opening Palm, naturally could extract the destructive intent from the Heaven-Opening Axe.

The Eye of Heaven showed a hint of confusion, as did the people below. What was the Sovereign doing? Healing the Eye of Heaven?

After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the Eye of Heaven was fully restored.

Immediately, the Eye of Heaven grew fiercer, glaring at Zhong Shan with boundless killing intent.

Looking up at the Eye of Heaven, Zhong Shan narrowed his eyes, a flash of ferocity crossing them. The Eye of Heaven's previous killing intent seemed to vanish.

With a whoosh, Zhong Shan stomped the ground and shot into the sky, reaching close to the Eye of Heaven in an instant.

The pupil of the Eye of Heaven contracted again, ascending higher into the sky.

"I know you're no longer an ordinary Eye of Heaven. An ordinary Eye of Heaven wouldn't have so much expression. I don't care why you've developed your own 'spirit,' but I need to tell you, once the heavens are opened, you'll vanish like smoke because you are merely the representative of the Small Thousand World's authority. Without the Small Thousand World, you will cease to exist," Zhong Shan said with a smile.

The Eye of Heaven stared at Zhong Shan without attacking, as if waiting for him to continue.

In the Lingxiao Heavenly Court.

"Sister, why is Zhong Shan flying so high? Is he talking? Really?" Tian Ling'er asked.

"He should be," Bao'er nodded.

"But why can't we hear anything?"

"Father probably set up an isolation array around him, preventing the sound from traveling," Bao'er guessed.

Not just the empresses, everyone was filled with curiosity. Why was the Sovereign's heaven-opening so different from the ancient god's?

No matter how people speculated, it didn't stop them from watching intently.

Zhong Shan continued speaking to the Eye of Heaven: "You're not my opponent. Attacking me will only result in the same outcome—your destruction. And this world, this Small Thousand World, I will break! Do you believe that?"

"You have no way out. Either be destroyed by me or vanish when the Small Thousand World disappears. Complete annihilation," Zhong Shan said solemnly.

The Eye of Heaven remained motionless.

"I can give you a third option. Follow me," Zhong Shan said in a deep voice.

Follow me? If anyone had heard this, they would think Zhong Shan was crazy. What was he doing? Trying to win over the Eye of Heaven? Making it turn against the heavens?

How could that be possible? The Eye of Heaven was part of the world itself. How could it be turned? It was too absurd!

"You know I have the capability, Eye of Heaven of the Small Thousand World. If you follow me, I can make you reign supreme in the Great Thousand World, make you grow stronger on this extreme foundation, make you disregard the Great Thousand World's heavenly laws, and make you overlook the Great Thousand World," Zhong Shan tempted.
