Chapter 617: Chapter 437: Shan Clan

Beneath the dome of the starry sky, the void resembled a fragile brocade, forcibly torn open by Chu Zheng to reveal a deep and boundless rift.

Beyond the rift, a wilderness world appeared, which was Chu Zheng’s own Cave Heaven.

The moment the rift emerged, it suddenly emitted a terrifying suction force, enough to swallow the universe.

In an instant, the world barriers surrounding the Ruiyang Realm shattered, and the originally sky-covering, surging spiritual mist was forcibly torn open with a massive gap.

Buzz–

The multicolored spiritual liquid visible to the naked eye rolled back, viscous like mercury, carrying with it shattered mountain shadows, heavenly dao law light points like star fragments, transforming into streams of spiritual energy waterfalls, madly surging into Chu Zheng’s Cave Heaven World!

Refining the Great Realm, one must use their own Cave Heaven as the main body to devour the Great Realm and nourish oneself. If living creatures exist, there will be numerous troubles, as consideration for living beings within the realm must be given. The blood and vengeful death aura of living souls can contaminate the pure Heaven and Earth Origin.

Living creatures, their bodies stained with dust, the Heaven and Earth Origin that enters them is usually already polluted and cannot directly merge with the heavens and the earth.

Now, with the living creatures of the Ruiyang Realm having migrated elsewhere, there is no presence of any living beings, providing Chu Zheng with great convenience. He does not need to cautiously refine little by little but can act freely.

With the world barriers broken, the entire Ruiyang Realm instantly fell into an apocalyptic scene.

On the vast continent, mountain ranges as majestic as a dragon’s spine violently trembled, producing a thunderous rumble. The abundant Earth Element Primordial Qi, Geng Metal Qi, and even the essence of the Fire Attribute from the depths of the earth veins were forcibly extracted by an invisible force, forming torrents of various energies, breaking open the earth’s seal, and surging upward towards the sky.

The Heaven and Earth Laws that form the foundation of the Ruiyang Realm were no longer invisible threads. At this moment, under Chu Zheng’s forceful extraction, they became tangible, like chains across the void, wanting to lock the frantically leaking Essence Yuan. However, the Heavenly Dao Core had been completely refined by Chu Zheng, rendering these obstructions ineffective.

In moments, these chains purely condensed from Heavenly Dao Laws snapped one after another, as if the flesh of living creatures was being peeled away, torn piece by piece from the massive framework of the Ruiyang Realm.

With a piercing cracking sound, the laws, wrapped in Heaven and Earth Essence, were absorbed into the depths of the Cave Heaven, becoming nutrients for Chu Zheng to perfect his own world.

With the massive outflow of Essence Yuan, the space of the entire Ruiyang Realm became extremely unstable. Fine cracks, like those in cracked porcelain, began to appear from the edges of the Great Realm.

The two blazing suns above the Ruiyang Realm dimmed, their golden and red flames flickering violently, having a portion of their origin extracted.

Chu Zheng’s gaze grew increasingly intense. He could feel a vast, boundless, and supremely pure great power of Heaven and Earth, continuously pouring into his Cave Heaven World through that rift, nourishing his Dao Foundation.

His cultivation began to soar at a visible speed, rapidly crossing the bottleneck of the Early Stage Great Immortal Venerable and entering the Mid-stage Great Immortal Venerable.

This was just the beginning.

As the Ruiyang Realm gradually withered, falling into extinction, his cultivation continued to climb relentlessly.

With the violent change of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, Chu Zheng’s gaze turned a brilliant white, his energy completely spread out, turning into a blazing sun capable of devouring everything.

The chaotic giant mouth that the Cave Heaven’s entrance had transformed into opened and closed, causing the surrounding starry sky to resonate, plundering and devouring the countless years of accumulated Essence of Creation in the Ruiyang Realm without reservation.

The vast Heaven and Earth Origin, when poured into the Cave Heaven, gradually manifested its true impact within Chu Zheng’s body. The immense energy, viscous like molten gold, roared and surged through his meridians, acupoints, and even his Divine Soul’s Sea of Consciousness. This was not a slow cultivation accumulation but a violent elevation like the reversal of a heavenly river!

Chu Zheng’s face showed a hint of paleness. Such a violent influx was greatly harmful to the physical body. However, for someone with a repair panel, he need not worry about these negative effects and simply fully accept it.

Under the impact of the Heaven and Earth Origin, his Immortal Body became more crystalline and brilliant, as if stars were appearing and disappearing within his flesh, his Primordial Spirit seated within the Sea of Consciousness. The two Immortal Marks imprinted within grew increasingly clear, and the two Ancient Lotus imprinted on his forehead also shone brilliantly, receiving tremendous nourishment and advancing rapidly.

With the vast outflow of Heaven and Earth Origin, the Ruiyang Realm was near complete extinction.

The two blazing suns hanging high had now dimmed to the point of near-extinction, leaving only faint embers, like a giant beast drained of all its Vitality, Qi, and Spirit, teetering precariously. The Sea of Spiritual Mist that once covered the sky had long gone dry, revealing a dull and fissured sky below, like a curtain about to shatter.

The mountain ranges, once as imposing as dragon spines, crumbled inch by inch, while the ocean completely dried up, exposing the jagged seabed chasms. The spiritual plants and vegetation that grew everywhere had long turned to ashes, leaving only scorched earth emanating a scent of decay and death.

A once vibrant and profoundly rich magnificent Great Realm was now visibly heading towards destruction.

Rumble–

With the last bit of Heaven and Earth Origin extracted by Chu Zheng, the entire Great Realm collapsed instantly, beginning to gradually disintegrate.

The whole Great Realm crumbled like a sandcastle, from the inside out, turning into powder at an astonishing speed. The Boundary Walls silently shattered and dissolved, merging into the void of eternal extinction.
