Chapter 455: The Xuanhuang Great Chiliocosm’s Aftercare

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Jiang Ming returned to the Xuanhuang Great Chiliocosm. He was going to settle things here before going to search for the ruins in the Sea of Chaos. Since he now had an immortal body, he was not afraid of the dangers that might ensue.

After the ordeal, the starry sky had become pitch black and the earth was silently barren. The vast universe was filled with a boundless aura of calamity.

Jiang Ming released the Verdant Emperor and Dongfang Chenxi from his inner world.

“Brother Jiang Ming, are you okay?” After getting on her feet, Chenxi immediately looked at Jiang Ming and asked with her eyes full of concern.

The corners of Verdant Emperor’s mouth twitched as he looked around and observed all directions, unable to help himself from the shocked expression on his face.

He was, after all, a Quasi-Sage expert. He naturally noticed the difference between heaven and earth today. Even the power of laws had become distorted.

What was more frightening was that a big chunk of the starry sky had disappeared. Even the Heaven Court was nowhere to be seen.

“What exactly happened here?” The Verdant Emperor couldn’t help himself and asked.

Jiang Ming briefly explained the whole ordeal.

As the two of them listened to his story, they kept looking back at each other.

A great battle against the Five Elemental Saint Lord? Besieged by six Saint Lord, but managed to kill the Reincarnation Saint Lord in seconds? Killed yet another two Saint Lords? Dao Patriarch Xing Chen made his appearance but took a huge turn and forcibly controlled the other three Saint Lords before self-destructing? The starry sky was destroyed? Dao Patriarch Xing Chen who tried to escape into the Chaos was killed as well?

“You killed six Saints and Dao Patriarch Xing Chen?” Even the Verdant Emperor’s teeth were chattering.

‘Damn. Is this really true? It must have been. There is no point in faking it nor would it stand when investigated. Yet… Yet this was just too unbelievable. It is just too inconceivable. It just feels too fictional, more than a pipe dream. This is simply a miracle.’

Of course, the most shocking thing to the Verdant Emperor was that, how long had Jiang Ming been cultivating for? In fact, he knew the details.

‘God damn! This person is definitely the son of the great Dao. Otherwise, how can he grow so fast? It’s just inhuman!’

“Brother Jiang Ming is the mightiest!” After Dongfang Chenxi was stunned by the story, she couldn’t help but cheer on, “Thank you Brother Jiang Ming, for risking your life for me.”

“It’s just a few saints. Back at Luo Heng’s, I’ve slaughtered a dozen of them.” Jiang Ming laughed. “Since I’m here, I’ll have to relieve you of your worries after all. The six Saints and Dao Patriarch Xing Chen aren’t completely dead yet. Just wait till I extinguish the true soul imprint that they left in the world’s origin.”

Jiang Ming walked the walk.

He wasn’t confident before. However, he now has the confidence to do so. This was because he now had the Saint Weapon, the Heaven-Shattering Spear.

With a spear in his hand, a terrifying power that was enough to shatter the whole great chiliocosm suddenly exuded from his body. Even the Verdant Emperor beside him turned pale as his primal soul was palpitating in shock.

This spear was terrifying, extremely terrifying indeed. Even a wisp of its aura leaking out of it could’ve repeatedly killed the Verdant Emperor a million times.

“It’s a good thing that he has a good heart and has a good relationship with my daughter. Even if anything happens to me in the future, my daughter will have someone to count on!” As such thought ran through Verdant Emperor’s mind, he was feeling both happy and conflicted, finally helplessly smiling.

Jiang Ming carefully sensed the six Saints’ imprints, but got nothing. As such he evoked the power of the Heaven-Shattering Spear, subduing the heavens and suppressed the world’s origin.

His Saint soul surged forth and went straight to the world’s core.

“Found it!”

Jiang Ming’s eyes lit up. By just gently tapping with the spear, the imprint that belonged to the Five Elemental Saint Lord was easily annihilated.

Immediately after that, he tapped six more times, and the imprints of the other five Saint Lords as well as Dao Patriarch Xing Chen were all annihilated as well.

‘The King Saint Weapon is truly powerful indeed. Without it, I’m afraid I would’ve had to resort to using the Chaotic World Tree to find them.’

Jiang Ming sighed with lament and raised his head. An infinite amount of thunderstorm had already accumulated on top of his head, almost drowning the sky. It was as if the descent of an absolute Heavenly punishment was imminent.

But for some reason, it did not come down on Jiang Ming.

Jiang Ming smiled and kept away the Heaven-Shattering Spear. The thunderclouds followed suit and dissipated into thin air.

‘Is the world instinctively terrified?’ Jiang Ming thought to himself.

“Next up, I’ll be exterminating the remaining experts of the six sacred lands, one by one!”

As his voice fell, his pair of divine eyes swept throughout the chiliocosm, observing every inch of the vast heavens and earth, the boundless starry sky, the layers of space-time and even the depth of the raging torrents. Anyone within the world couldn’t escape his prying eyes no matter where they were hiding.

There were indeed a few of them who survived the ordeal. Jiang Ming raised his finger and tapped in the air, evoking the Return of Infinite Law Finger.

It tore apart the void, broke down the orders of law and exterminated all of the remaining experts of the six sacred lands that were above the Quasi-Sage Realm. As for experts of the other realms, he simply ignored them.

After all, the experts below the Quasi-Sage Realm were still not a threat to the Verdant Emperor at all.

“Great Emperor Dongfang.” Jiang Ming looked at Verdant Emperor, “You are currently the expert with the highest cultivation base within the Xuanhuang Great Chiliocosm. From now on, you will be the one to take precedence! I will not be restoring the shattered starry sky. You can gather the many Great Overarching Experts of the infinite realms to rebuild the place with you. This will also establish your absolute prestige. You can choose to rebuild the Heaven Court for heaven and earth, or establish sacred land. All of it can be done as you wish to.”

“Fellow Daoist Jiang, thank you so much!” The Verdant Emperor solemnly said his thanks.

In the past, he would have never thought of such a result, no matter what. By only relying on his own power, Jiang Ming managed to completely change the balance of power of the whole chiliocosm. Even the invincible Dao Patriarch Xing Chen had been killed.

‘I myself have become the strongest of all? God damn! This is as unreal as a dream. No. This is something that no one would’ve even dreamt of.’

“Brother Jiang Ming, are you leaving?” Dongfang Chenxi’s heart trembled and was somewhat reluctant.

“Well! The whole thing is done and dusted, so I’m leaving now.” Jiang Ming replied, “We can always communicate with each other anyways. If you ever miss me, just leave me a message!”

Saying this, Jiang Ming reached out and grabbed the Quasi-Sage Dao Vessels that were left behind from the many Quasi-Sage Experts that he had just killed and sent them over to Dongfang Chenxi. “With these items, it’s enough for you to take your inner world even further, Chenxi.”

“Alright! I’ll definitely practice my cultivation well!” Dongfang Chenxi sniffled and gladly accepted the gift.

Jiang Ming gave her a nod before turning into a stream of luminance and went off, disappearing without a trace.

The starry sky was suddenly dead silent.

It took quite a while before a sigh broke the silence.

“He’s really a strange person.” The Verdant Emperor said, “Chen Xi, how did he grow so fast? He was not even as good as you in the beginning, and I even asked you to take care of him a little more. It’s only been a few decades since. To think… to think that he even killed the Dao Patriarch!”

“Father, it’s not just you. Even I myself can’t believe it.” Dongfang Chenxi said in a slightly complicated manner, “There are also the geniuses from the Sea of Chaos who were all deterred by Brother Jiang Ming. It’s also fortunate that we know him. Otherwise, we would really be in trouble.”

“Yes! It’s fortunate that we know each other!” The Verdant Emperor lifted his spirits and continued, “Chenxi, should we rebuild the Heaven Court next or create a sacred land instead?”

“Father, what do you think then?”

“Let’s rebuild the Heaven Court! After all, you are following the path of the World Dao. The midst of growth will be too resource-intensive. It’s better for me to become a Heavenly Emperor and plan well for you.”

“I’ll listen to you, my father!”

Dongfang Chenxi responded. However, her pair of eyes were still looking in the direction that Jiang Ming left for long ago, not batting an eye.

The Verdant Emperor sighed once again. He couldn’t intervene with such matters.

On the other side, Jiang Ming had already arrived in the Chaos.

‘Based on the direction that Dao Patriarch Xing Chen went, it shouldn’t be too hard to find it.’

After slightly deducing and discerning the direction, he sped forward.
