Chapter 671 The Secret of the Year
The Nine Heavens refers to the Nine Layers of Heaven, not nine layers of space, or nine layers of the world, but the high altitude area close to the edge of the world barrier, where strong winds rage, and the closer to the world barrier, the more terrifying the power of the strong winds becomes.

At the beginning, the low-level Nine Heavens Gangfeng could only harm the Yuanshen cultivators, but as Zhang Qian's body became taller and taller, passing through the nine heavens layer by layer, the power of the Nine Heavens Gangfeng increased exponentially.

Even when he arrived above the Ninth Heaven, the Nine Heavens Gale was already so fierce that white marks appeared on his immortal golden body.

Even if these strong winds still cannot destroy the immortal golden body, it is already an amazing thing that they may leave white marks on the immortal golden body.

Zhang Qian estimated that the Nine Heavens Strong Winds here alone would hurt even a powerful Golden Immortal without the protection of a protective treasure.

Dong Dong Dong...!
After arriving above the Ninth Heaven, Zhang Qian clearly heard waves of void vibrations coming from afar. The sound shook the entire void, and Zhang Qian saw the source of the void vibrations at a glance.

He turned and flew to the north, following the direction of the void vibration, transforming into a sword beam and flying rapidly. The void was vibrating here, and Zhang Qian did not dare to use his means of traveling through the void, otherwise he would easily be shaken into the endless void and lost again.

As he was getting closer and closer to his goal, Zhang Qian thought of the hundreds of Half-Step Daluo Dao Masters from the Tianxu Sect who were rushing back, and knew that he only had a short time. Once those hundreds of Half-Step Daluo Dao Masters returned, not to mention himself, even the Human King and the Crazy Taoist would have to die here.

"I don't know how much time I bought by forcing my way back to Zu Shenzhou through the Tianji Pavilion's teleportation array?"

It took hundreds of Half-step Daluo Dao Masters a long time to return from Hanhai Province to Zushen Province, even if they were all Half-step Daluo. Although Zhang Qian set out later, he arrived earlier through the teleportation array, so there was an extremely precious time difference between them.

"Come die!"

Suddenly, a terrifying roar came from in front of Zhang Qian.

This voice was extremely familiar to Zhang Qian; it was the voice of the Human King.

Looking in the direction of the sound, I saw that the void in front suddenly cracked, and an irregular large void crack appeared.

A figure rushed out from the huge crack in a very embarrassed manner.

The figure that flew backwards not only created a large crack, but also spurted blood and screamed all the way.

When the figure stopped, he turned out to be a Half-Step Daluo Daoist Master who was about fifty or sixty years old!
This powerful man was in a very miserable condition at the moment. There was a deep fist mark on his chest, probably from being hit by the Human King.

What surprised Zhang Qian was that after being hit by the Human King's punch, this powerful man was only slightly injured.

"Good trick. It seems that although the calamity cloud last time caused you serious injuries, it also gave you a great opportunity. You actually managed to understand some of the mysteries of the innate spiritual treasures through fighting with the imperial weapon and the innate spiritual treasure!"

This great man seemed very surprised. At this moment, the big crack was torn open, and a golden figure walked out. It was the Human King! The Human King had not changed at all compared to before. The only change was that an extremely irregular pillar appeared behind the Human King!
This pillar seemed to be condensed from the power of various laws, and it was misty and emitting bursts of innate aura. This innate aura was surprisingly similar to the aura of innate spiritual treasures!

"You are not stupid. There is nothing to hide about my change. Back then, in order to suppress the Liangyi Emperor, your Jiutian Sect and the Ten Emperors Family directly mobilized ten imperial instruments and nine innate spiritual treasures to join the calamity cloud. That was fine. The Liangyi Emperor was an outsider and his death was not a pity! But after I killed the Liangyi Emperor, the calamity cloud was over. You all unexpectedly mobilized ten imperial instruments and nine innate spiritual treasures to attack me together, wanting to suppress and kill me as well, causing me to suffer extremely serious Taoist injuries. Hehe, I have kept this account in mind for the past few years. Today, I have finally found a great opportunity. Tianxu Sect is the first step of my revenge, and none of you can escape!"

The Human King's face looked crazy, and his eyes were flashing with terrifying murderous intent and determination.

His words not only shocked the Half-Step Daluo on the opposite side, but also shocked Zhang Qian by the Human King's arrogant words.

This Human King has been recuperating from his injuries for several years, but his explosive temper has not changed at all. He even directly shouted that he wanted to take revenge on the Ten Emperors Family and the Nine Heavens Sect. It's simply crazy.

Through the words of the Human King, Zhang Qian also learned about the Human King's experience in the calamity cloud. There was nothing wrong with this matter from the perspective of the Ten Emperors Family and the Nine Heavens Sect.

With the help of the Human King, they killed the Emperor Liangyi. At a time when serious exhaustion had already occurred, they controlled ten imperial weapons and nine innate spiritual treasures to attack together in order to solve the problem of the Human King once and for all. Unfortunately, they failed. They only caused extremely serious Taoist injuries to the Human King, but did not kill him.

However, this also completely angered the Human King, causing him to directly stand against the Ten Emperors Family and the Nine Heavens Sect.

Now, taking advantage of the opportunity that hundreds of Half-Step Daluo masters left the Tianxu Sect, with a little instigation from the Crazy Taoist, the Human King immediately attacked the Tianxu Sect. Zhang Qian even believed that there was no need for the Crazy Taoist to instigate during this period. As long as the Human King knew of this opportunity, he would definitely come to take revenge.

“Humph, you are a lackey of the World Tree Heavenly Dao. What our Nine Heavens Sect did in the past is irreconcilable with the World Tree Heavenly Dao. Now we have no way out. Both the World Tree Heavenly Dao and you, the Human King, must die!”

This powerful being had the guts to curse the World Tree Heavenly Dao directly in front of the Human King.

It's not that he is so bold or doesn't take the World Tree seriously, but in the ancient times, the founder of the Jiutian Sect betrayed the World Tree. It was they who secretly contacted Taihuangtian of the Taihuang World and asked Taihuangtian to come down and cut off the body of the World Tree, causing this world to fail to be promoted to the Great Thousand World.

With such a great hatred, it would be an understatement to say that the fight will last until one's death. How could the World Tree forget it? It's just that the World Tree had been planning to return to the Ocean of Rules before, and had no chance to deal with the Jiutian Sect. Now that the World Tree has returned to the Ocean of Rules, and has taken back half of the authority of the Heavenly Dao, even though there is still Emperor Xi and the Taihuang World behind her, the Jiutian Sect has begun to feel uneasy.

Even though several eras have passed since the great cause and effect of that year, no one in the Jiutian Sect believes that the World Tree will not take revenge. They just don’t know when the revenge will come.

That is the World Tree Tiandao, an existence that controls half of the power of Heaven. How can the Jiutian Sect not be afraid? Even though they are usually high and mighty, secretly controlling the entire world, they are still no match for the World Tree Tiandao.

What worries the Jiu Tian Sect the most is that if Emperor Xi fails in the battle with the World Tree, and the World Tree takes back all the authority of Heaven, the Jiu Tian Sect would be destroyed in an instant, with no hope of survival.

This was simply an unimaginable disaster, which was also the reason why the Nine Heavens Sect spontaneously joined forces to control the nine innate spiritual treasures to take the opportunity to kill the Human King. In their view, the Human King and his ancient human race were the obvious lackeys of the World Tree and were targets that must be eradicated!
