Chapter 619: Seeking Death!!
Four thousand years ago, what kind of era was Earth in?
This was what Qin Heng wanted to know.
Although it was just a mere four thousand years, that span was insignificant compared to the vast timelines of the Star Universe Qin Heng had experienced in his previous life. It might not even equal the time taken for a single seclusion session by a Divine Monarch in the Divinity Transformation Realm.
Yet for the Earth of this world, revolutionary changes had already taken place.
The Earth, four thousand years ago.
Was more than ten million times larger than the Earth of today!
Not a thousand times!
Not ten thousand times!!
But truly, more than ten million times!!
Setting other things aside, just looking at this difference in size made the disparity clear and distinct.
If the current Earth were to be expanded proportionally by ten million times!
Then the distance from Tianhai to Beijing would stretch to nearly 12,000,000,000 kilometers!!
Nearly 12 billion kilometers!!
That's almost equivalent to the diameter of the Solar System!!
To traverse such a distance!
One could say!
It would be as difficult as ascending to the heavens!!
Even if!
Even if one were to travel at the speed of light, 300,000 kilometers per second!
It would still take 40,000 seconds!!
That's 666.6 minutes!!
More than 11 hours!!
This is the speed of light we're talking about!!
In the macroscopic universe, the fastest and most extreme speed!!
Merely traveling from Beijing to Tianhai would require over 11 hours!!
For an ordinary person!
Such a distance is truly terrifying!!
It's utterly beyond imagination!
And this was just a small fraction of its entirety; the full size of Earth would be even more fearsome!!
"Are you shocked?" Wu He seemed somewhat smug as he looked at Qin Heng, sneering, "The Da Xia Divine Province of that era cannot be compared to the present. Someone with your strength, in my era, would only qualify to be cannon fodder!"
"Cut the crap." Qin Heng glanced at Wu He indifferently and said, "Tell me everything you know about Earth in that era, starting with the Da Xia royal court you are familiar with."
Da Xia! It was the dominator of the Human Clan four thousand years ago, a powerful kingdom on the planet, the sovereign of the vast lands of the Divine Province. If I could understand the Da Xia royal court, I would know nearly ninety percent of the events of that era!
Wu He looked at Qin Heng, a flicker of apprehension in his eyes. He took a deep breath, leaned over the table, and said, "You really know what to ask. The matters of the Da Xia royal court..."
BOOM!!
Just as Wu He was about to explain the affairs of the Da Xia royal court, a terrifyingly loud roar suddenly resounded between Heaven and Earth. This caused Qin Heng's expression to change abruptly. The ground beneath his feet shook violently, and even the entire Earth trembled!
In that instant, all Transcendents on Earth at or above the Innate realm felt an indescribable and terrifying pressure, as if it had manifested omnipresently across the planet!!
Wu He froze instantly. His pupils shrank to pinpoints as he struggled to lift his head, staring incredulously at the sky. Then, the light in his eyes began to extinguish!!
THUD!
He collapsed onto the stone table in front of Qin Heng, dead!
This was pure, overwhelming spiritual pressure! The oppressive force of a Divine Soul, merely its aura, had obliterated Wu He's own Divine Soul—which was at the peak of the Great Saint realm—leaving him no room to resist whatsoever!
"Seeking death!!" Qin Heng roared in anger. His Divine Sense probed out, an invisible force enveloping his body, bracing himself against the sudden, terrifying pressure that crashed towards him!!
My current cultivation is insufficient, merely at the peak of Qi Refinement. Although the essence of my Divine Sense is high, it can't be used for offense, nor can it defend against normal attacks. However, if the opponent themselves comes knocking with the power of their Divine Soul, that's another matter entirely!!
HUM!!
The void trembled, sending ripples outwards!!
That terrifying aura, which had killed Wu He with its pressure alone, now made contact with Qin Heng. It seemingly intended to also crush him—the audacious one who dared to pry into the secrets of a bygone era!
But in the next instant, a radiant divine light burst forth from Qin Heng, soaring into the heavens and shattering the void. The terrifying, Emperor Level Divine Sense of an Immortal Emperor automatically defended itself upon being attacked!!
BOOM!!
High above in the firmament, the atmosphere was pierced through. This revealed a horrifying void, hundreds of miles in radius, yet it did not connect to outer space. Instead, it mirrored an image of an incomparably vast world!!
The continents were boundless, with nine suns suspended in the sky, seemingly eternal!
Yet suddenly, one of the suns shattered. It transformed into an immeasurably huge fireball that plummeted downwards. This ignited a raging inferno upon the vast land below, incinerating countless living beings!!
In an instant, the reflected world plunged into an immense cataclysm due to the fall of that single sun!!
Moments later, the reflected image was rapidly restored under a field of golden light, and the sky returned to calm. But the scene that had just unfolded remained etched in the minds of everyone who witnessed it!!
The sight of a sun falling shocked countless people!
The terrifying power displayed by the inhabitants of that land during the moment of crisis also left many hearts trembling with fear. Merely to evade the heatwave caused by the falling sun, they were all taking flight!!
Flying purely by their own strength!
This level of ability would require, at the very least, cultivation in the Martial Dao at the Innate level. And just moments ago, millions of such individuals were seen fleeing for their lives in that reflected land!!
Millions flying in the sky!
That meant millions of Innate Grandmasters!!!
For the Earth of today, this was an unimaginable, incomprehensible number!!
At that moment!
The entire world was engulfed in a tremendous uproar, the sense of crisis skyrocketing!!
「At this moment, in the Ye Family of Xijing City.」
Qin Heng looked grimly at the small dog corpse on the stone table before him. Through his Divine Sense, he was certain that Wu He's Divine Soul had been thoroughly dispersed. Not even a trace remained, not even the essence of his True Spirit!
In other words, Wu He, the person, had completely vanished from the world, ceasing to exist!!
A Divinity Transformation expert! A Divinity Transformation realm expert actually crossed realms with all their might, just to cover up matters of the Da Xia royal court!?
Qin Heng's brows furrowed. The terrifying aura that had shaken the entire Earth had come from a Divinity Transformation expert in an endlessly distant world!!
By the cultivation hierarchy of Earth's Martial Artists, such an existence would be termed a Deity!
An existence above a Saint King!
Spanning countless light-years, perhaps even numerous worlds, this Deity had reached across the endless void to make its move. And all because Wu He was about to disclose information about the Da Xia royal court!
What profound secrets lay hidden within this!?
The enmity of obstructing one's Dao is irreconcilable!! Qin Heng's eyes radiated intense killing intent. The Deity who had just attacked had already been killed by the backlash from his Divine Sense!
Yet this still couldn't erase the hatred burning in his heart!!
The secrets of four thousand years ago that Wu He knew were vital for me to understand Earth's history. They were also a pathway to further explore the Supreme Law! And now, they have been obliterated!! No matter the opponent's reasons, this is a feud that can only end in death!!
During the Divine Sense confrontation just now, even as Qin Heng obliterated that Deity, he had also memorized the spacetime coordinates of that world!
Once Spiritual Energy resurges! Once I, Qin Heng, recover to the peak of the Foundation Establishment Stage, I will find that world! And then! I will annihilate the remaining eight Deities of that world! Only then might a fraction of this hatred in my heart be appeased!!
A Foundation Establishment cultivator obliterating a Divinity Transformation expert! For the vast majority of Cultivators, this would be simply impossible. But I am different. In my previous life, I had already attained the Eternal realm and knew far too many Secret Techniques!! Given enough time and materials! It wouldn't matter if the opponent were a Martial Dao Deity comparable to the Divinity Transformation realm, or even an Immortal Saint Emperor on par with the Returning to Empty realm. I could kill them all!!!
