Chapter 236: Beard and Hair!
“Boom!”
A tremendous crash.
The firmament completely exploded, and endless radiance enveloped everyone.
The entire world seemed to dim at this moment.
Then, an indescribably vast pressure swept over.
Like a world-ending storm!
“Boom!”
The next moment.
A thunderous roar sounded.
Mount Heaven collapsed.
The entire sky cracked apart at this moment!
Boundless darkness devoured everything, swallowing all the Wu cultivators whole!
At this moment, Lu Qingyang’s pupils constricted.
The surging waters of the Heavenly River rushed into his eyes, as if the Milky Way itself was pouring down, drowning his entire field of vision!
“Splash~”
A scalding heat wave swept over, almost cooking Lu Qingyang alive!
And at that very same moment.
Lu Qingyang’s figure suddenly shot upward, hurtling toward the peak of Mount Heaven!
There’s only one chance!
I have to seize it!
At this moment, Lu Qingyang’s heart roared madly!
His entire aura surged.
His massive body was like a sharp sword, piercing through the firmament, soaring into the sky.
But the rolling waters of the Heavenly River were far too terrifying. In almost an instant, they submerged Lu Qingyang’s figure!
After all, the waters of the Heavenly River were no ordinary river water.
These Heavenly River waters were like the Astral Wind beyond the world, capable of destroying everything!
“Bang! Bang! Bang!”
Endless river water pounded against Lu Qingyang’s body, tearing countless wounds across his flesh.
Blood splattered everywhere!
“Hiss~”
Sounds of pain rang out endlessly.
But Lu Qingyang gritted his teeth and endured.
“No!”
He roared.
“Boom! Boom! Boom!”
His feet stamped upon the void, climbing upward step by step, trying to approach the peak of Mount Heaven.
But this process was exceptionally grueling.
The Heavenly River waters severely hampered his speed.
During the process, even his flesh was torn away, piece by piece.
But even so, Lu Qingyang still refused to stop.
Because he knew.
Once he missed this chance, the greatest harvest of this Return to True might be lost forever!
And beneath the Heavenly River.
Countless Wu cultivators had long since been scared witless.
They stared blankly at this scene.
Some of the timid ones had even collapsed to the ground, trembling.
What kind of sight was this?
It was practically the arrival of the apocalypse!
“Zhurong!”
At this moment.
A resounding voice came from atop Mount Heaven.
Its tone carried incomparable fury.
And the instant Lu Qingyang heard this voice, his expression changed drastically.
He struggled to raise his figure and looked toward the voice.
There, in the firmament above, a colossal creature rested against the broken half of Mount Heaven.
Endless Wu blood had dyed its entire body red.
There’s a chance!
Lu Qingyang looked at this scene, and the first thing he registered was that every pore on his body had opened.
Without a shred of hesitation, he flew straight toward that colossal creature.
But at this moment, that enormous figure had clearly also discovered Lu Qingyang, this unfamiliar newcomer.
Looking at Lu Qingyang, whose aura and size were exceptionally peculiar and insignificant.
The Water God Gonggong, already in a state of extreme rage, casually swung out a palm!
“Bang!”
The massive hand that covered the entire firmament swept down.
Carrying a terrifying, unparalleled fluctuation.
Seeing this, Lu Qingyang’s expression changed drastically!
With his current cultivation, under the hand of such a great being, resistance was out of the question. Even dodging would be as difficult as ascending to heaven!
Fight!
A cold light flickered in Lu Qingyang’s eyes.
Looking at that enormous figure so close at hand, Lu Qingyang flipped his hand and took out that thumb-sized black Blade Horn from his bosom.
Then he mobilized all his power and poured it into it!
And hurled it with all his might!
“Weng!”
In that instant.
The black Blade Horn shot out a heaven-shaking black light, like a meteor slicing through the long night sky.
Carrying a sharp, piercing aura.
It violently slammed toward the enormous figure!
As for the result, Lu Qingyang didn’t even have time to look.
He suddenly felt his vision go black.
“Boom!”
A tremendous crash.
The mountains shook and the earth trembled.
Lu Qingyang’s figure was annihilated in the rolling dust and smoke.
Except, the System notification signaling the end of Return to True did not sound.
Lu Qingyang’s vision suddenly went pitch black.
What… is going on?
Shouldn’t I be dead? Shouldn’t Return to True have ended?
I don’t even know if that fragment of mine actually got tainted with Ancestral Shaman blood essence.
Lu Qingyang’s thoughts churned, unable to make sense of it.
But before he could think further.
The next moment.
He suddenly felt himself move.
That familiar sensation of vibration.
This is…
Lu Qingyang was shocked, and then he realized he seemed to be able to “see.”
Within his field of vision.
He was looking down at a towering figure.
That towering figure held a giant axe, roaring at the heavens.
As if enraged at a world steeped in darkness.
This is… Great God Pangu!
But what kind of perspective is this?
Why do I feel like I’m on top of Great God Pangu’s head?
Lu Qingyang was stunned.
He wanted to move his perspective.
But he felt as though he were fixed in place.
He could not see anything else.
In the end, all he could do was watch Great God Pangu complete the great feat of splitting heaven and earth.
And the following scene shook Lu Qingyang’s heart.
He saw heaven and earth separate.
The world took shape for the first time.
Great God Pangu stood between heaven and earth, gripping the giant axe.
Gazing out over the entire world, then his wrist shook!
In the next instant, the Heaven-Opening Axe shattered into countless fragments.
Scattering across the sky.
Each fragment was like a meteor shower breaking through the void.
Fluttering and swirling.
Shooting into the distance.
Some also scattered near Great God Pangu.
One by one, those fragments rippled through the void.
Beams of light suddenly appeared between heaven and earth.
Watching this scene, Lu Qingyang felt an indescribable shock!
Those are… world entrances!
Though he had long since guessed at the origin of the Myriad Realms’ evolution.
When he witnessed it with his own eyes, he still could not help but be awed.
He saw countless fragments slice open world entrances, one after another.
The larger the fragment, the higher the world it evolved into.
If he wasn’t mistaken, those must have been the later Great Thousand Worlds.
As for the smaller fragments, they evolved into Middle Thousand Worlds, and Small Thousand Worlds.
Sure enough… sure enough, I was right all along!
Lu Qingyang murmured to himself.
Though he had guessed many times, at this moment he finally confirmed it.
And as the truth of the world was laid bare before his eyes.
The shock in Lu Qingyang’s heart grew even more intense!
“Crack! Crack!”
Lu Qingyang could see.
Within his vision, one world after another was born.
Countless fragments streaked across the firmament like meteors.
Falling in every direction.
Finally evolving into world after world.
But before he could recover from the shock.
That towering figure spoke.
“The worlds are myriad, and their splendor is boundless. Go.”
“You shall, on my behalf, illuminate these Myriad Realms.”
As this rumbling voice fell.
Lu Qingyang’s vision could finally shift.
And at this moment, he finally knew what his past life truly was.
I never imagined my past life was this incredible.
Simulator… you’re no simple thing.
Within Lu Qingyang’s vision, Great God Pangu’s countless strands of hair and beard scattered and danced, like a waterfall pouring down.
Each strand of hair drifted toward a world.
And Lu Qingyang was stunned to find himself among them!
