Beyond the Timescape [Wuxiaworld]

A heavenly dao had come! From within that opened rift, a snow-white hand extended. The mere friction caused by its movement created a deafening sound that could shake heaven and earth. Wild colors flashed in heaven and earth. Winds screamed. The earth was also affected. As the hand of the heavenly dao grabbed the Ten Entrails Tree and yanked it up, power from the heavenly dao spread out into the surrounding land.

The earth quaked, sending maroon soil erupting in all directions. Cracks snaked out in all directions, as if subterranean dragons were burrowing through the ground. The quaking was so violent that distant mountains began to crumble one after another.

Cracking sounds rang out from the jungle surrounding the Ten Entrails Tree. Trees fell, and soil collapsed as the roots of the giant tree were wrenched out from the ground. Deafening booms rang out everywhere. The affected area wasn’t limited to the jungle surrounding the massive tree.

The thirty-six city-states were also affected. To those cities, this event was unprecedentedly apocalyptic. The Holytide cultivators in the city-states were all shocked to the core, yet none of them dared to do anything to interfere. The reason for that was because of the status of the Nightshades. And they didn’t dare to approach the epicenter. The arrival of the heavenly dao’s hand made that completely impossible, as the magical laws of heaven and earth were in absolute chaos.

Bolts of lightning smashed down randomly. Acid rain fell. Clouds of poisonous gas drifted about. Electromagnetic pulses erupted. Lands shook, and mountains rocked. Blustery, galeforce winds screamed everywhere.

Duke Heaven Zenith and Zhou Xingwu, as well as the hundreds of Black Guard cultivators, were all scared witless.

“Heavenly... heavenly dao!!”

“Don’t tell me he really is a Nightshade godchild?”

The scene was simply too shocking, and seemed to be something that only a Nightshade godchild could do.

Off to the side, Lin Yuandong’s eyes shone with intense fervor. In fact, if the godchild suddenly appeared and demanded his life lamp, he wouldn’t hesitate or feel angry at all to comply. The only thought that filled his mind was that if that exalted figure wanted his life lamp, it wouldn’t be harmful. After all... that Nightshade was someone extremely important!

The shockwaves weren’t limited to that specific area. They rolled out through the whole Holytide Region, and when they reached the various descendants of the Woe-Immortals, their blood surged. Though they were all located in different areas, they all turned in the direction of Ten Entrails of the True Immortal and bowed.

A series of explosive popping sounds rang out, and countless clumps of soil fell like rain from the boundless roots of the Ten Entrails Tree. At long last, the heavenly dao’s hand had ripped up the entire tree. As the ground continued to quake, the huge tree rose into the air. From a distance, the tangled roots, some of which were thick, some of which were narrow, seemed like a massive web of magical laws, any one of which contained a dao resonance.

As the tree rose high into the sky, Qing Qiu gripped the bark of the tree as tightly as she could. At the same time, she felt like her mind was being struck by a million bolts of lightning. Even though she was personally experiencing and witnessing everything happening, she still felt like she couldn’t believe it.

As for Ning Yan, he was so dumbstruck he couldn’t move. After realizing it was pointless to rip open his belly, he had failed to hold onto the tree, and thus slipped off of it.

Thankfully for him, the Captain still held the vines attached to his belly, so his fall was halted and he swung back and forth in midair.

Xu Qing was also in a daze. Acting on instinct, he grabbed a tree branch, and as the massive Ten Entrails Tree swung back and forth, he looked at the Captain, who was still laughing crazily.

It was obvious that the Captain had done something major here. Back in the Merfolk Isles, he had lost half of his body to get Joine’s flesh. In the Seazombie ancestral land, he had risked everything to absorb the elixir and get close enough to take a bite out of that statue. And then there was the Three-Spirits Dao-Suppressing Mountain.... Every single thing he did was massive. But compared to this, those things seemed like child’s play to Xu Qing.

Become the father of a heavenly dao!

As Xu Qing reeled, the heavenly dao’s hand inserted the very top of the tree into the rift, where it entered the belly.

The hand released the top of the tree and then dropped to grab the portion further down. A thump rang out, and the Ten Entrails Tree quivered as the heavenly dao’s hand grabbed onto it and kept pushing it into its belly. As the tree merged into the heavenly dao’s belly, it glittered brightly and transformed, changing from a tree shape into something that resembled entrails.

The Captain again laughed heartily. “Little Junior Brother, the upside to being fathers of a heavenly dao is about to come!”

The Captain’s eyes shone with longing as two beams of prismatic light emerged from the rift. One of them shot toward the Captain, the other toward Xu Qing. They arrived at the same time, and completely enveloped both of them.

Xu Qing wasn’t sure exactly what that prismatic light was, but he sensed that it contained magical laws of heaven and earth, as well as a boundless dao resonance and some unidentifiable will.

“This is the proof of our investment. Hahaha! Or you could call it our son’s birth certificate! It’s imprinted with our aura. I guess you could even say it’s a fatherhood credential.”

The Captain was virtually jumping up and down as everything around them shook. Then a boundless spirit energy rushed wildly toward them. The spirit energy was incredibly pure, without even a scrap of mutagen, and it poured directly into Xu Qing and the Captain.

“A heavenly dao benefaction!” Ning Yan blurted. A bitter expression overtook his face, and his heart filled with indescribable regret. If he could just go back to before, he wouldn’t just rip out his intestines. He would rip out every organ in his body. As long as he could stay alive, he would sacrifice anything to become the father of a heavenly dao.

Who could ever have imagined that these two Nightshades would do something as absolutely crazy as this??

He felt like he was going mad from the sense of having missed such an amazing opportunity. Then, it was with bloodshot eyes that he opened his mouth and inhaled deeply. His hope was that, even though he wasn’t the one being rewarded, he might still benefit some. After all, he was very, very close, and figured he could still get some scraps of energy.

Qing Qiu wasn’t sure what the prismatic light was, but she could sense the incredible spirit energy. And after hearing Ning Yan’s exclamation, she also tried to absorb some of the surrounding energy.

However, those who benefited the most were obviously the Captain and Xu Qing.

The Captain trembled as he madly absorbed the energy of heaven and earth, turning it into power to remove seals within him. Soon, his aura was climbing to incredible heights.

It was the same with Xu Qing. Using this unprecedentedly powerful energy of heaven and earth, it only took about ten breaths of time for his sixth heavenly palace to fully materialize. Rumbling sounds filled his mind, but there wasn’t time to sit around thinking about what was going on. His thoughts immediately focused on the branch he had taken earlier. The branches of the Ten Entrails Tree were precious treasures on their own. But now that the tree was being absorbed by a heavenly dao, they naturally rose to a higher level. The first thing Xu Qing thought of was to put that Ten Entrails Tree branch into his sixth heavenly palace.

However, just before he was about to do it, he paused and looked up at the huge hand coming out of the rift. Then he glanced at the surrounding Ten Entrails Tree, and his eyes glittered.

Bluegreen dragon! he shouted inwardly.

He had been waiting for this moment so long that the sensation of longing from his bluegreen dragon was incredibly intense. It let loose a long, clear cry as it emerged from within him.

Without hesitation, he waved his hand and threw the branch toward the dragon. The bluegreen dragon’s eyes glittered brightly as it devoured the branch. Immediately upon swallowing it, the dragon started trembling, then it unexpectedly shot high into the sky!

Off to the side, the Captain’s eyes went wide, and for the first time since they arrived at the Ten Entrails Tree, he uttered an exclamation of astonishment.

“An embryonic heavenly dao! H-h-how... how’d you do that? I’ve been trying to do that for years but never managed to pull it off! An embryonic heavenly dao running into an ancient heavenly dao... this, this... is something I could only dream about!”

The Captain’s heart pounded as he stared at something that he had long dreamed about.

Meanwhile, the bluegreen dragon let loose a roar as it flew into the rift and shot toward the ancient heavenly dao.

The heavenly dao suddenly stopped pulling the Ten Entrails Tree into it.

Then it was as if two heavenly daos were looking at each other inside the rift. A moment later, the ancient heavenly dao shivered, then sent a stream of golden energy into the bluegreen dragon.

“Heavenly dao essence?” the Captain blurted loudly. “Did it just freaking adopt that embryonic heavenly dao as a son?”

The bluegreen dragon let loose a roar as it rapidly grew larger. Then, the heavenly dao fluctuations coming off it grew stronger.

After absorbing all of the golden energy, the bluegreen dragon glittered with golden light, and its eyes seemed extremely full of life. After offering a respectful nod to the ancient heavenly dao, it swished its tail and then shot out of the rift and back toward Xu Qing.

As the golden light shone out, the Captain’s eyes filled with intense envy. Then the dragon shot into Xu Qing and entered his sixth heavenly palace! A moment later, that heavenly palace glittered with golden light. It was the light of a heavenly dao! It was a heavenly dao palace!

Xu Qing shivered as his cultivation base expanded. Unexpectedly, he also began to pulse with something like a dao resonance, something that connected with heaven and earth and shook everything in the area.

At the same time, the materialization of heavenly palaces within him continued. His seventh heavenly palace was now taking shape.

“We’re fathers of an ancient heavenly dao,” the Captain muttered bitterly. “And your bluegreen dragon is the adopted son of a heavenly dao. So does that make it your grandson or my grandson?”
