Chapter 1315: Wang Gu World Battles Ancient Immortals!

Chapter 1315: The Ancient Heavens Clash—Xu Qing Battles the Primordial Immortal!

Majestic and overwhelming, his aura had reached its zenith!

Gale-force winds swept across the heavens. Xu Qing hovered midair, expression cold, gaze tranquil, staring at the ancient immortal whose face was etched with solemn gravity.

As he spoke softly, his right hand rose and swept outward.

With that single motion, the fabric of the Ancient Realm rippled; the firmament churned, and the earth below groaned with a deep, resonant tremor.

“Seal—the Void Between Heaven and Earth!”

These three words carried the weight of divine decree, instantly manifesting as self-enacted law.

A sealing force erupted forth, sundering heaven from earth!

All beings upon the ground were rendered incapable of flight!

Thus, in that very instant, every cultivator and deity—whether hailing from the Ancient Realm or the Sacred Lands—lost their ability to soar. Their bodies shuddered violently before plummeting back to the earth.

For this power that cleaved heaven and earth originated from the Xia Immortal himself!

Therefore, none beneath the rank of True Deity—or even lesser Xia Immortals—could defy it in the slightest!

In but a breath, only three figures remained suspended above the Imperial Capital of Humanity:

Xu Qing, the ancient immortal, and Seventh Master!

“Master,” Xu Qing said respectfully, “I beg you to stand guard for your disciple.”

Seventh Master smiled faintly, his eyes brimming with pride deeper than any he’d ever known. With a gentle nod, he stepped backward—and in an instant descended to the earth, standing beside the Empress.

The Empress still looked dazed, her gaze fixed on Xu Qing in the sky above, disbelief churning fiercely within her heart. She turned instinctively toward Seventh Master, unable to contain her question.

“His cultivation level…”

Seventh Master didn’t answer immediately. Instead, he reached into the void beside him and seized something unseen. Ripples shimmered through space—and suddenly, Er Niu’s figure was yanked out by the scruff of his neck.

“Ow ow ow! Old man, easy! That hurts!”

Er Niu dangled helplessly like a plucked chick, flailing his arms and kicking his legs midair while desperately flashing a toothy, ingratiating grin.

“Master! I’ve missed you so much!”

Seventh Master stared at him.

“Speak plainly. How did Fourth Brother attain such cultivation? And who are *they*?”

Er Niu’s eyebrows shot up. Of course he knew exactly whom his master meant. He opened his mouth to boast—

But Seventh Master cut him off sharply.

“Use human words.”

Er Niu’s face fell into a pout. Sighing dramatically, he relented.

“They’re from the Fifth Star Ring—they serve Little Junior Brother. And let me tell you, Master, Little Junior Brother’s doing pretty well out there. Even you wouldn’t outrank him if you went!”

“As for his cultivation… I only ran into him recently, and even then he was already an Emperor. Plus, he’s got an older brother who’s a Celestial Sovereign… I think he’s trying to steal your disciples!”

At the mention of “Celestial Sovereign,” Seventh Master’s heart jolted—but he carefully masked his shock.

Yet Er Niu’s next words struck like thunderclap after thunderclap.

“That elder brother gave Little Junior Brother some Divine Maidens—and rumor has it each one’s father is a Divine Lord!”

Seventh Master’s breath hitched slightly. Beside him, the Empress’s eyes widened in astonishment.

“And I wasn’t satisfied, so I took little A-Qing to a Divine Monarch’s tomb… turns out the guy was still alive…”

“Ow ow ow! Easy, old man!”

Er Niu yelped—he felt Seventh Master’s grip tighten abruptly around his neck.

After a moment, Seventh Master loosened his hold. Hearing of a Celestial Sovereign—a realm long thought mythical—was startling enough. Divine Lords were equally legendary. But now… a Divine Monarch?

That tier existed only in speculation, known to be among the supreme powers of the Star Rings!

And yet his wayward disciple had dared trespass into a Divine Monarch’s tomb!

“Go on,” Seventh Master growled, drawing a deep breath.

Er Niu blinked, secretly pleased. *This time*, he thought smugly, *the old man will finally see how impressive I am.*

He cleared his throat theatrically.

“Well, inside the tomb, I didn’t really do much—just accidentally swallowed a Divine Lord, apparently a rather formidable one. Then Upheaval showed up. At the critical moment, I saved little A-Qing and dragged him into a spacetime vortex…”

“We got separated inside. Later, worried sick about him, I exhausted everything I had searching until I found him—weeping bitterly, poor thing.”

“My heart melted. So with my help, little A-Qing ascended to immortality… and stopped crying.”

Seventh Master frowned, about to speak—

But just then, a world-shattering boom echoed through the heavens!

Instantly, Seventh Master, the Empress, and even Er Niu snapped their gazes upward.

Not just them—every powerful being among the myriad races focused their divine senses upon the Imperial Capital of Humanity!

All eyes locked onto Xu Qing!

All watched the battle that would decide the fate of the Ancient Realm!

Above, the sky blazed with infinite radiance—and the source… was the ancient immortal!

With a single step forward, the heavens surged. His aura exploded outward, shaking the Ancient Realm to its core, tearing open the firmament to reveal the starry void beyond.

Beneath the cosmic sea, the ancient immortal stood—his silhouette merging with the stars themselves. His dim eyes fixed upon Xu Qing, and his rasping voice reverberated across existence.

“Young Xia Immortal…”

“You have awaited me long. Today… let this old man see whether your strength matches your words!”

The instant those words left his lips, the ancient immortal—weathered and grave-like, as though risen from a tomb—suddenly raised his right hand and pointed directly at Xu Qing!

Within that gesture lay his own Heavenly Mandate.

Immediately, heaven and earth shifted color. Winds reversed direction; clouds recoiled. The firmament convulsed violently, and even the starry expanse grew profoundly darker.

An earth-shattering power erupted from the ancient immortal, coalescing into an unstoppable tide that forcibly rewrote countless laws and principles—until, before the tip of his finger, formed a single droplet of azure water!

The moment this droplet appeared, terror unlike any other radiated outward. Every soul on the ground who sensed it trembled uncontrollably, flesh quaking as if about to be crushed to dust, spirits straining as though torn apart.

Even distant clans across other great domains felt their bodies and souls recoil, instinct screaming of impending doom.

For this droplet came from a Xia Immortal—it bore the might of divinity itself!

And in the same breath it manifested, the ancient immortal flicked his finger lightly.

The droplet shot forward like a comet—straight toward Xu Qing!

But what truly shattered the minds of all living beings in the Ancient Realm was this:

As the droplet flew toward Xu Qing… it began to multiply!

First one drop—then instantly two. Then two became four, four became eight…

In the blink of an eye, that single droplet had multiplied endlessly, swelling into a vast, awe-inspiring ocean of blue!

One drop became a sea!

And this sea surged through heaven and earth, roaring toward Xu Qing.

Wherever it passed, the void shattered, the firmament darkened, and even the starry sky lent its power.

Thus, within this ocean lay the very concept of space and time, the covenant of parallel realms—as if… it contained everything!

Manifested in layers, it was the tide of all spacetimes.

This sea came from countless worlds!

Such was the might of Xia Xian. Though his cultivation path was not of space-time itself, once one reached such a height, all myriad Dao converged as one!

All beings stood stunned.

For in their eyes—there was no sea!

Xia Xian’s strike had already transcended their comprehension entirely.

Even the Empress could not perceive it clearly—only vaguely sense its presence.

Thus, to the eyes of humanity’s imperial capital and the onlookers of Wanggu, what they saw was layer upon layer of abstract, intricate spirals, nested within one another!

Only Seventh Master could see the true ocean—and his expression now grew grave beyond measure.

Yet Xu Qing’s heart remained calm from beginning to end.

He gazed at the roaring tide before him, seemingly capable of annihilating heaven and earth, his mind unruffled, his body unmoved. He merely raised his right hand—and gently pressed forward!

His fingertip touched the raging, boundless wave before him!

The moment contact was made, an impossible sight unfolded before the eyes of Wanggu’s spectators!

Those abstract spirals in the heavens began to unravel mid-rotation—as if melting away!

Seventh Master’s soul trembled violently, for he saw something entirely different.

At that instant, he clearly witnessed the blue ocean tearing apart beneath Xu Qing’s descending finger!

As though its very components were being stripped away!

Indeed—that was precisely what was happening!

Xu Qing was extracting!

First, he extracted space and time, extracted the notion of parallelism—fixing this ocean solely within this world!

Severing it from all else!

Then he extracted the very concept of “countless,” turning the infinite into the finite, halting its endless multiplication!

And so, in the span of a breath drawn by Seventh Master, he saw the once-furious blue sea before Xu Qing stripped of every layer of augmentation.

From a unified whole—it fractured into individuals!

From an ocean—it reverted to droplets!

These droplets, once fused together, were now forcibly separated.

Then came the next scene—one that even startled the ancient immortal.

The transformation of the sea continued! After becoming individual droplets, those droplets… were instantly stripped of their support!

No longer droplets—but flattened into… sheets!

For this time, what Xu Qing extracted was their dimension of height!

Stripping the droplets of the very concept of height.

They became like the painted forms Xu Qing had seen within the second realm of the Aurora Immortal Palace!

Yet still—the change pressed onward!

Those sheet-like droplets shifted once more, now thinning into threads.

And finally, as they reached Xu Qing, they collapsed into mere points—and the moment they touched his body, they vanished without a trace.

Utterly erased.

Though this account seems long, in truth, between lightning and sparks, the ocean had already dissolved into nothingness.

The masses could not comprehend it—only Seventh Master understood. Though the ancient immortal had seemingly formed but a single drop into a sea, this was a clash of Constitutions—within which lurked mortal peril, where life and death hung on a hair’s breadth.

Even he himself held no absolute confidence in fully withstanding such an attack.

And he knew well—if Xu Qing had failed to resist just moments ago, he would now be part of that sea, reduced to a mere droplet.

The deeper his understanding, the more violently his soul churned.

For the way Xu Qing unraveled this ocean’s Constitution… he could not fathom!

Even the ancient immortal’s pupils contracted sharply. He stared fixedly at Xu Qing as if facing a dire foe, and spoke in a low, heavy voice.

“Your Constitution…”

Xu Qing’s expression remained unchanged. He took a step forward toward the ancient immortal, his voice echoing low and deep.

“If your Constitution holds only the concept of ‘countless’… then you may die!”
