Supreme Emptiness

Chapter 1957: Chapter 2000: Heart of Ten Thousand Earths

Not to mention the original owner of the Immortal King’s Undying Bell, that Holy Angel is most likely already dead.

Even if he isn’t, now that the World Artifact is in Jiang Fan’s hands, and he still wants it back?

What a damn daydream!

After dealing with the Immortal King’s Undying Bell, Jiang Fan took out the necklace and pendant of the Heart of Ten Thousand Earths again.

His eyes shone with excitement; this was the biggest gain from the deal with Qiqi!

He’d gotten a complete World Artifact for free!

He took a deep breath and carefully pressed the earthy-yellow Crystal into the groove in the pendant.

With a hum.

Strands of earthy-yellow halos burst out layer upon layer.

From above, one would see those halos spread out like petals unfurling.

Somewhat similar to the lotus seat of Buddhism.

Jiang Fan reached out and grasped the necklace, and at once he actually heard a heavy and powerful heartbeat.

This... was the heartbeat of the Central Earth World!

Immediately after, even more heartbeats surged in like a tide.

There was the heartbeat of the land of the Nine States, of the Spirit Grasses and animals on the earth, and of the Human Clan, Demon Race, and all other living beings.

All mountains, rivers, vegetation, and living beings now possessed a heartbeat.

And the ripples spread out from those countless heartbeats converged in Jiang Fan’s mind, condensing into a three-dimensional phantom of the Central Earth World.

No existence could escape his perception.

And perception was only secondary.

Jiang Fan felt that he himself had fused with the entire Central Earth World; wherever he wanted to go was but a single thought away.

No longer restricted by the Space Law of the current world.

With a single thought, he disappeared from the secret chamber.

Meanwhile, far away in the center of the newly born Hunyuan State.

Dongfang Canyue was pouting, unwillingly slaughtering waves of Hell Creatures.

"This is so unfair."

"Why is everyone else in the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion eating and drinking well, while I get dragged here to be a workhorse and clean up Hunyuan State?"

This Continent was, after all, derived from the Hell Realm, with many dangerous Hell Creatures and plants upon it, unsuitable for the Human Clan to live on.

Therefore, as someone of the Asura Clan, Dongfang Canyue had been tossed here by the Great Wine Sacrifice lot, shouldering the heavy task of clearing Hunyuan State.

As she was grumbling, she suddenly noticed the ground before her rapidly bulging up, quickly condensing into a pitch-black humanoid figure.

"Eh? A rare Hell Creature?"

"If I kill it, will it explode into a big treasure?"

Dongfang Canyue muttered and swung up the Jade Paper Heavenly Book, smacking it toward its forehead.

Only, a multicolored Thunderbolt umbrella appeared over its head out of nowhere, blocking the Jade Paper Heavenly Book.

"What treasure do you want? Can’t I just give it to you?"

Jiang Fan’s annoyed voice came from under the umbrella.

"Ah? It’s you?" Dongfang Canyue recognized Jiang Fan’s voice and hurriedly put away the Jade Paper Heavenly Book:

"I almost murdered my own husband!"

Jiang Fan withdrew the Yin Yang Heaven, veins popping on his forehead: "Quit spreading yellow rumors about me!"

He took out one portion of Asura Holy Blood and tossed it to Dongfang Canyue: "Hold this."

Without waiting for her response, he activated the Heart of Ten Thousand Earths again and vanished.

Dongfang Canyue reflexively caught it; when she focused her gaze, she couldn’t help but gasp: "Ah? A hundred drops of Asura Holy Blood?"

"T-this is a complete Asura Emperor opportunity!"

"I really did explode a big treasure!"

The next moment.

Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion.

Inside Green Pearl’s secret chamber, she opened her eyes wide, staring in confusion at the person emerging from underground.

When she recognized Jiang Fan, she immediately turned to run:

"W-wait, I haven’t recovered yet!"

Jiang Fan paused, then understood.

Half amused, half exasperated, he pressed a hand on her shoulder: "And you still want to cling to me every day like Yun Shang?"

"You need to nourish your body."

"Here."

He took out one portion of Asura Holy Blood, stuffed it into her arms, and said, "Digest it as soon as possible."

Then he lowered his head and kissed her snow-white neck, leaving a hickey, and Instantaneously Moved back to his own secret chamber.

Staring at the Heart of Ten Thousand Earths in his hand, Jiang Fan was extremely excited.

Being able to cross a Great State with a single thought—this was something even a Disaster Realm Sage couldn’t achieve, right?

Thinking back to when he was trapped in the Southern Heavenly Realm, if he’d had this necklace, it would have been no problem at all; with just a thought, he could have reached any place in the Southern Heavenly Realm, then easily split the Void and left.

"This is a life-saving Supreme Treasure." Jiang Fan was overjoyed.

But this was only an auxiliary ability of the Heart of Ten Thousand Earths.

Its true power was to push an entire world through the Void.

Of course, given his limited strength at present, he could only push a Small World like Central Earth.

"What use does this ability have?" Jiang Fan pondered.

Forging a World Artifact was an extremely difficult task; what was the purpose behind giving it this kind of power?

He thought for a long time, but still couldn’t figure out what the point of pushing a world was.

Shaking his head, he put away the Heart of Ten Thousand Earths and instead closed his eyes to comprehend the Dayan Sword Array.

About two hours later, his eyes snapped open, Sword Qi erupting from every hair and strand of hair on his body.

His gaze was like twin sharp swords, making space itself tremble.

"This Heaven Level Technique I obtained back in the Nascent Soul Realm is finally perfected."

"Now all nine swords are gathered, with one sword being a Quasi-Realm Artifact and the other eight top-grade Spiritual Artifacts, far surpassing the top-grade spirit sword requirement on the Sword Array."

"If I fully unleash the Sword Array, I wonder how powerful it will be."

Deep expectation flickered in his eyes.

Just then.

The sky screen of Central Earth suddenly trembled.

A fluctuation invisible to the naked eye radiated out from the distant Hunyuan State.

Where it passed, the sky shook and the earth quaked.

A vast pressure unique to a Sage covered the Eight Desolations.

All experts below Divinity Transformation were seized by panic and unease; in the face of this pressure, they were like ants before the heavens.

Jiang Fan felt a stir in his heart, flew out of the secret chamber, and looked into the distance, joy flickering in his eyes:

"Dongfang Canyue... or to be precise, Purple Soul Sage, has stepped into the Asura Emperor Realm!"

"The Asura Emperor opportunity from the Hell Realm really is amazing!"

On the cusp of the expedition to the Heavenly Realm, Central Earth having one more Sage-level combatant was an enormous blessing.

Unfortunately, among the Asura Clan of Central Earth, only Green Pearl and Dongfang Canyue had reached the Five Crown King level.

Otherwise, he could keep copying Asura Holy Blood.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh—

The Great Dream Demon Venerable and the ten Outer Heaven Sages appeared one after another, gazing toward Hunyuan State.

The attainment of a Sage of Attainment was a once-in-a-millennium event even in their worlds; Sages from all over would normally come to offer congratulations.

After all, in an era where Saints did not appear, Sages were the highest-end combat strength of a world.

Their strength fundamentally determined a world’s rise and fall.

The Ice Realm Sage stroked his beard and said, "Little Friend Jiang, a Sage has been born in your realm. Aren’t you going to offer your congratulations?"

Unexpectedly, all the Sages of Central Earth should have sensed the birth of the new Asura Emperor by now and headed to Hunyuan State.

Jiang Fan clasped his hands behind his back and said, "There’s no time."

Hm?

What did "no time" mean?

Just as the Outer Heaven Sages were puzzled, a streak of black baleful light shot up from Green Pearl’s secret chamber into the clouds.

Jiang Fan looked toward the end of that baleful light, his eyes narrowing.

Deep within the sky screen, an incomparably dark Abyss inverted itself and descended, covering everything.

Within the Abyss, something that stirred terror from the depths of the soul was moving about.

All of a sudden.

Nine gigantic eyes appeared within the Abyss, each shining with a different color.

As if a colossal beast sleeping in the Abyss had awakened!
