Chapter 3239: Blasting the Heavenly Dao

Xuwang Hua did not respond. It stopped its gentle trembling and became still.

"What chaos."

Ye Chen squatted there, tentatively calling out again and again.

However, he received no response.

Ye Chen took a deep breath. If it were in the past, he would have definitely watered the flower—perhaps with urine—to provoke it. But at this critical moment, why was it acting so reserved?

After some thought, he dismissed the idea.

He was now at the quasi-huang perfection stage, so he should maintain some dignity.

Boom! Clang! Crash!

Outside, the little one was displaying its divine abilities again, devouring whatever it saw. Anything entering its belly turned into a blank void. Ye Chen had taken action several times before, snatching treasures like divine iron and immortal materials without hesitation.

He glanced at Xuwang Hua one last time before turning and leaving.

The unknown void was infinitely vast, seemingly boundless—at least larger than the Zhutian universe.

He walked and stopped along the way, observing as he went.

The segment of spacetime that had been swallowed was nowhere to be found.

Helplessly, he looked toward the little one.

That little creature cried in pain when it cried, but it was extraordinarily lively when it jumped around. Its memories were erased time and again, making everything a source of curiosity. If it took a liking to something, it would open its mouth and swallow it whole—it ate anything and everything, and it was never full.

As he watched, the little one stopped.

Then, he narrowed his eyes into slits. In the distance, there was a hazy patch of light.

Straining his vision, he realized it was a universe.

"Zhao Yun's universe."

He murmured to himself, recognizing its form. The Zhutian universe resembled a ball of flames, but Zhao Yun's universe looked like a bronze mirror no matter how you viewed it.

This was only clear when seen from outside the universe.

From far away, it might look like someone had discarded a mirror.

"How did it end up here?"

Ye Chen's eyes flickered uncertainly. He knew Zhao Yun's universe had mysteriously vanished, and he never expected to encounter it here. The infinite void separated them—was it the universe moving on its own, or had the various Tiandao joined forces to drive it?

Hee-hee-hee!

The little one laughed with a childish giggle and bounded over.

After many years, Ye Chen entered Zhao Yun's universe again.

Through the Xingzi little one, he could clearly see the outside world, just as when he left: the Shen Realm was vast and boundless, the Xian Realm was ethereal and hazy, and the Fan Realm lacked spiritual energy. The upper, middle, and lower realms were steadily maintained by the Tiandao's universe and rules.

"What's that?"

The remaining four Tiandao narrowed their eyes. An outsider had entered, and they couldn't fail to notice. Taking a close look, it was a chubby little baby, pink and plump, running around naked. They couldn't help but think about flicking its little thing.

"It must be a Huangshen to cross universes."

"Even we can't see through it—it's probably surpassed Huangshen."

"The legendary Taihuang Realm?"

The four Tiandao whispered among themselves, their eyes flickering uncertainly. The little one was just too strange. It had no special physical body, no special primordial spirit, and they couldn't trace its origins. It seemed like a creature that had appeared out of nowhere.

As they thought of "creature," the four narrowed their eyes.

They had all left their universe before, knowing there were too many unknown life forms beyond it.

Hee-hee-hee!

The little one ignored the four Tiandao and bounded around the universe. Apart from the supreme gods, hardly anyone could see it—just a streak of light flashing through the starry sky.

"You little rascal, take it easy."

Ye Chen stared straight ahead, his eyes already bloodshot.

The little one ate whatever it saw.

Now that it had come to Zhao Yun's universe, if it turned everything into a blank void, that would be a real disaster. The entire universe's beings would face an apocalyptic catastrophe.

Fortunately, the little one just ran around wildly without eating anything.

Seeing this, Ye Chen's gaze deepened. It seemed this little thing didn't eat everything—at least, since entering this universe, it hadn't touched a single thing.

"Don't provoke it."

Ye Chen looked up and could clearly see the four Tiandao staring at the little one.

Indeed, they couldn't afford to provoke it.

If the Xingzi little one was in a good mood, everything would be fine for everyone. But if it got upset, everyone would suffer. Even the purple-haired youth who surpassed Huangdi wasn't its match, let alone the four Tiandao. If a fight broke out, the little one could wipe them out completely.

Luckily, the four Tiandao didn't act recklessly.

"Has Zhao Yun returned?"

Ye Chen strained his vision to scan the Shen Realm but couldn't find Zhao Yun. He wanted to check the Xian Realm and Fan Realm, but being inside the little one's belly limited his view.

"Running where?"

Though he didn't find Zhao Yun, he spotted the Shura Tiandao—that mad talent—wielding his divine blade and chasing a group of gods across the sky.

It was true.

That guy was either fighting or on his way to a fight.

The gods were in a miserable state, with no one able to match him.

Ye Chen also saw the Moon God and the Emperor Immortal, standing on a mountaintop under the moonlight, gazing quietly at the vast expanse, their eyes filled with distant longing and a hint of nostalgia.

"Not back."

Ye Chen took a deep breath. From their expressions, he already knew the answer.

This was not good news.

Was he still alive?

He couldn't answer that question. Zhao Yun was probably already gone.

"Dao friend, you seem unfamiliar!"

After watching for a while, the First Tiandao suddenly spoke up.

Hee-hee-hee!

The little one was too busy playing to respond, leaving the Tiandao feeling awkward.

Pfft!

The Second Tiandao spat out blood, likely from rashly trying to divine the little one's fate and suffering backlash. The mysterious force nearly destroyed his dao roots.

"It must be the Taihuang Realm."

The Third and Fourth Tiandao were both shocked. This was terrifying.

Hee-hee-hee!

The little one's childish laughter echoed from the starry sky to the ethereal void. Too many people heard the laughter and looked up, but no one could find its source.

Of course they couldn't.

The little one had already crossed the ethereal peak and entered the Tiandao Realm.

The so-called Tiandao Realm towered above the Shen Realm, the domain of the Tiandao themselves. It could be called the four Tiandao's residence. Ye Chen was seeing it for the first time—a vast, misty fairyland where mountains, rivers, and vegetation were all bathed in divine light.

Boom! Rumble!

In the end, the four supreme gods' residences were flipped over by the little one.

What a relief.

Ye Chen took a deep breath, his eyes shining brightly.

Honestly, he had long been fed up with the Tiandao. Back then, if not for their indulgence of Taishang, he and Zhao Yun wouldn't have suffered so much, and the Empress wouldn't have had to self-sever.

"Dao friend, let's talk this out!"

The four Tiandao chuckled awkwardly, not daring to intervene. That was the Taihuang Realm—they'd be lucky to just get beaten if they rushed in, and they might end up as dust.

Clearly, it was here to cause trouble.

In Ye Chen's view, this troublemaking was loud and overbearing.

Who said the Zhutian had no one?

It had flipped the Tiandao's residences—who could deny how impressive that was?

"I need to record this."

Ye Chen's eyes twinkled as he imprinted the spectacular scene.

Later, he'd show it to the Empress.

See that? We took losses in other universes, but the little one came back and turned the tables. The boss made a move, dominating heaven and earth, and even the Tiandao didn't dare say a word.

"What's going on up there?"

"An old man like me calculates it's probably a few Tiandao fighting."

"True, they're idle and always stirring up trouble."

The commotion in the Tiandao Realm affected the Shen Realm, making the whole place shake. Too many gods ran out and collectively looked up at the sky, even the brawling Lao Kuang stopped.

Boom! Bang! Boom!

As everyone watched, the Tiandao Realm grew even more chaotic.

The little one had flipped the residences and seemed unsatisfied, so it beat the four Tiandao one by one. It didn't hold back at all—Ye Chen watched and couldn't help but sigh. The most pitiful was the Fourth Tiandao, who was no longer recognizable, reduced to a lump.

And on top of that, the little one was jumping on him.

Like a little puddle, the kid was bouncing around joyfully.

"Enough is enough."

Ye Chen spoke earnestly—people needed face. Though he said that, his eyes were scanning everywhere, still imprinting the scene and recording it all.

Boom! Rumble!

Flipping the residences was one thing, but beating the Tiandao was a massive disturbance. Because the universe's rules were set by the Tiandao, their union upheld the cosmos. If the Tiandao were harmed, the universe suffered, and the three realms descended into chaos.

"You're pushing it too far."

Hee-hee-hee!

"No more fighting, really no more."

Hee-hee-hee!

"Let's talk it out."

Hee-hee-hee!

This was a bizarre conversation.

This was also a spectacular show.

The Tiandao were enraged and wanted to unite against it, but they were no match for the little one and got beaten even worse. The four Tiandao-level beings, one by one, none escaped unscathed.

The rumbling eventually faded.

The little one finally had its fun and bounced away.

Looking back, the universe was in utter disarray.

The four Tiandao had been beaten, and the Fan Realm, Xian Realm, and Shen Realm were all damaged. Barriers were breached, divine light and immortal auras were in turmoil, and many ancient phenomena appeared.

"It'll take decades to fix."

Ye Chen coughed dryly—it was mainly because the Tiandao had been beaten so badly.

"What did you do to deserve this?"

The four Tiandao clutched their waists, supporting each other as they limped along. The worst-hit was their Tiandao Realm—the residences were flipped, and the divine mountains were toppled. At a glance, it was all ruins.

They should be grateful that the little one hadn't gone all out.

Otherwise, the entire universe, including the Tiandao, would have ended.

Hee-hee-hee!

Outside the universe, the little one was still cheerful.

But Ye Chen knew that beneath its cheerfulness hidden an unknown sorrow. The Xingzi seal was constantly erasing its memories, leaving it in a muddled state, unaware of who it was or the meaning of its existence.

What was cruel was that it was immortal.

Endless years were the greatest punishment, like a walking corpse wandering the world. Perhaps others remembered it, but it remembered no one.

Soon, roaring echoed through the void.

More Xuwang demons appeared, hiding deep in the void and quietly licking their wounds.

The little one charged in and delivered a thorough beating.

Ah!

The Xuwang demon's howl was filled with rage. Why target just me out of all the demons? How many years has it been—every time you see me, you beat me?

The little one ignored it, transforming into a towering giant.

Its form was terrifying enough—a head of blood-red hair like a bloody waterfall, with rolling demonic aura stretching eighty thousand li across the void, every strand as heavy as a mountain.

Not only did its form change, but its belly did too.

Ye Chen, inside it, saw it most clearly. The original white void had turned black due to the transformation, looking scarier than a black hole.

That wasn't important.

What mattered was that in the dark void, fragmented scenes emerged: broken universes, shattered mountains and rivers, and a segment of damaged spacetime.

"That's it."

Ye Chen's eyes burst with the brightest light.

The spacetime he had been desperately searching for finally manifested in the unknown.

He understood now.

The little one's transformation created a vulnerability, allowing the spacetime to map out.
