Chapter 741: The Threat of Immortality

The parallel worlds collapse, and the beings within naturally perish entirely; unless a True Immortal intervenes, there is no hope of recovery.

Qing Tian acts without any hesitation, half-king and half-immortal. Ultimately, he is a tyrant led by his own will, as they say, great achievers do not concern themselves with small matters.

As long as the final outcome leads the human race to transcendence, Qing Tian has no qualms about sacrificing 99% of humanity to select the best among them.

In truth, he cannot defeat Qing Liu Sheng in the Red Heaven realm, and he is not even a match for Ni Xin Zhao. However, this does not prevent him from wielding supreme power in the outer heavens; only a True Immortal can contend with him.

"Lord of the Swirling Sky! Allowing you to become an immortal is truly the Immortal Mother’s greatest blunder, you are nothing but a beast! Do you think you can threaten us using parallel worlds?"

Ni Xin Zhao’s face flushed with anger, her expression exceptionally cold.

"So, the Tomorrow Dao is just a joke. Protect the Celestial Empire and uphold the Red Heaven Order? Do you dare step even one foot outside the Red Heaven realm?"

"Insulting me will come with a price. The same was true in the past Red Heaven; for a million years, those dignified True Immortals could only seek the aid of mere mortals, and that is the conclusion!"

Qing Tian smiled dismissively.

But in the outer heavens, Qing Tian’s true form was cold and ruthless. He unleashed his power, causing the entire void to tremble, as one parallel world after another surrounding the Red Heaven realm collapsed.

The worlds in his hands were like clay, crushed with a squeeze, far too fragile.

The former Red Heaven realm was just as weak, easily destroyed, lacking any mechanisms to restrain True Immortals, and there was no so-called Heavenly Dao.

Beside him, Mystic Heaven remained silent.

His eyes, composed of five-petal flowers, radiated celestial light, hinting at the life and death of worlds. His presence lacked the dominance of Qing Tian. Though his face was pale and his hair was frail and gray, making him seem old, this was merely an illusion, the guise taken on after Mystic Heaven sacrificed his cave heaven to become an immortal.

Regardless of appearances, as The First Immortal of Opening Heaven and Earth, he possessed the power to sweep away all, occupying a dominant position in the current struggle of True Immortals.

……

Endless fear and resentment poured forth!

Piercing through the void!

Too many lives were lost—countless beings, an entire realm collapsing, and the dead and injured numbered in the billions!

"Qing Tian…"

"All the suffering falls upon the True Immortals!"

"When will our prosperous era truly arrive? As long as the True Immortals exist, how can the human race have a future?"

The people of the Celestial Empire were seething with anger, yet deep down, they felt profound sorrow. Each shattered parallel world spoke volumes; the current immortals remained invincible and could still find the Celestial Empire’s weaknesses!

The multiverse era began three thousand years ago. The Divine Empress could obviously extend her life through numerous parallel worlds; however, precisely to prevent the people of each world from losing their homes, this option was rejected in favor of a more perilous path of destruction.

Yet such kindness ultimately held no meaning. In a world without the protection of absolute rules, there was no way to prevent the arrival of True Immortals, who became hostages.

Countless hearts boiled with anger, as an ocean of resentment resonated and surged towards the heavens!

"Ugh…"

"This is immortality, the pinnacle of humanity?"

The figure of Tomorrow emerged, her brow furrowed.

No matter how many times she witnessed it, she could not sense the sanctity of immortals, only the endless darkness beneath the celestial light, as if trying to taint her with countless blood!

"This level cannot taint us; the Tomorrow Dao has never been the path of saints… just some True Immortals, come and face me, and I’ll cut them down!"

"Suppress!"

Yun Ye’s expression darkened completely, no longer allowing Qing Tian to act freely.

He ruthlessly struck, causing time and space to collapse, and the heavens and earth to reverse, as the two True Immortal figures appeared before him.

"What?"

Qing Tian raised his hand, and an invisible vortex that swallowed everything materialized in an instant.

But Yun Ye was faster; without hesitation, he punched Qing Tian in the face. The power from the inner universe and Dao Classics was truly unmatched, twisting and shattering Qing Tian’s Royal Path body. He could barely even react.

"Boom!"

Yun Ye struck again, this time hitting Qing Tian under the chin, completely destroying his head. Qing Tian’s remaining form was propelled upward by the terrifying force.

During this process, time flowed backward, and unfathomable energy poured into the outer heavens, even repairing the Royal Path body with this power.

The True Immortal body has the indestructible and eternal characteristic; although its power can no longer grow, it will not diminish either. Whatever the Royal Path body loses, it can replenish infinitely—endless and impossible to annihilate.

Yun Ye rarely extended the fighting time, landing punch after punch mercilessly, cruelly dismantling Qing Tian’s Royal Path body, leaving him unable to utter a single word.

Mystic Heaven witnessed this scene, harnessing the Power of Opening Heaven and Earth to protect himself, as a dark celestial body slowly descended, seemingly wanting to crush everything.

"Truly an ugly sight, Qing Tian."

Mystic Heaven unleashed his power, intertwining the five elements, and the Power of Opening Heaven and Earth roared to flatten the void, blocking Yun Ye’s further attacks.

This granted Qing Tian a moment to breathe. He coldly reorganized his Royal body, thick killing intent radiating: "Continuously challenging my limits while completely ignoring the lives and deaths of the citizens of the parallel worlds. It seems Qing Liu Sheng doesn’t care about the backlash from the Dao artifact. You truly deserve to die."

"Though the number of practitioners of the Tomorrow Dao has decreased, the knowledge and training of every citizen have never slackened." Mystic Heaven looked down on Qing Tian, saying lightly, "Below the True Immortals, all are but dust. This is a despair known to every citizen. To raise swords against us? Such people can only be illogical fools, what percentages can they even take from the Celestial Empire?"

With sufficient knowledge, one could understand their own position. True Immortals are high above, suppressing all beings in their pursuit of self-transcendence; they are the eternal enemies of the Red Heaven realm.

In such circumstances, preserving the spark of hope is the right choice. The Celestial Empire has no reason to sacrifice hope for the lives of citizens from parallel worlds.

"Even if we can’t make the Heavenly Crown Artifact collapse, we can diminish its power. The path chosen by Shui Wuge has indirectly led to the deaths of countless beings. Even if their knowledge is adequate, can they tolerate becoming mere pieces in a scheme, alongside their families?" Qing Tian looked dismissively.

Mortals cannot undergo mass transformation into sages; even if some truths are seen, does that mean they will accept it?

Impossible!

Even if the humans from the parallel worlds acknowledge the Tomorrow Dao, they would never accept being discarded as pawns, reduced to mere tools for deceit. There must be resentment.

As for why their power has not been shown until now…

It must be that his methods have gone awry!

"It seems I have been too merciful, too easily annihilating everything, preventing emotions from settling and releasing. When faced with me, the ants have only the deepest despair; how can they reveal such a disgraceful demeanor?"

"Only by confronting life and death can one see their true nature; the ugliness of humans knows no bounds!"

Qing Tian thought of a solution and put it into action.

He snapped his fingers, breaking through the barrier of the parallel world, his power transforming into an invincible figure descending into the parallel world. Even as the Honored Monarch roared and summoned the Dao artifact to eliminate Qing Tian’s avatar, the gap in strength was far too immense. The artifact shattered, and the Honored Monarch instantly disintegrated, turning into nothingness.

Qing Tian’s avatar looked down upon all beings, declaring, "In this world, only a hundred can submit to me and avoid death! You shall wield your blades now!"
