Chapter 998: The Annihilation of All Souls
At this moment, the All-Heavenly Strategy carries the hopes of almost all living beings in the entire Xihuang World, except that those dead creatures have no idea about it. Zhang Qian had made this plan with the World Tree a long time ago, and now with the Immortal in the Pot restraining Taihuangtian, it has become easier to implement.

It was precisely because of such a plan that Zhang Qian, when he was in the boundless wilderness, watched the Tiandao Sect kill hundreds of millions of cultivators without doing anything.

As a world in the middle thousand, the Xihuang World has developed for several eras. How many living beings are there in the thirty-six states, including the four seas? This is a terrifying number.

Zhang Qian only saw that the number of Gods of Rules in his All Heavens and All Dao Strategy increased by hundreds of billions. The long river that guided the souls of all souls became extremely magnificent, like the Styx that connected the Yin and Yang worlds, moving the souls of all souls to another world.

Looking at the countless Rule Dao Gods in the Myriad Dao Strategies of the Universe, Zhang Qian suddenly had an idea. He thought to himself, "What would happen if I had a thought now and let these Rule Dao Gods bless me? With the blessing of hundreds of billions of Rule Dao Gods, how advanced would my understanding be? How terrifying would my thinking speed become?"

Thinking of this, he was instantly moved, but he did not try it rashly, because he knew deeply that once he did so, he would most likely die and disappear.

His immortal realm is the Golden Immortal, and the soul of the Golden Immortal realm is simply not enough to control the power bestowed by hundreds of billions of rule gods. Compared with this terrifying power, his Golden Immortal soul is too fragile, and his soul may shatter and disappear in an instant.

Only a soul at the level of Daluo Jinxian would have the confidence to bear the blessings of hundreds of billions of rule gods. After thinking for a while, he finally did not seek death. Power is very attractive, but it depends on whether you have the confidence to obtain it. To rashly touch the power that you cannot control is just to seek death.

Rumble!
The third law tribulation thunder fell, and the mysteries of the law of life and death of the World Tree could no longer withstand it. The treetops, like a nebula, were charred everywhere. The world had to withstand nine law tribulation thunders to advance, and the power of the thunders became stronger and stronger, doubling. This was a test of the great way of the universe, and it was not so easy to survive.

There are countless thousands of worlds in the heavens and myriad realms that could not even withstand a bolt of lightning during the catastrophe of promotion and collapsed.

In comparison, the World Tree is considered good. She has infinite vitality and has comprehended the mysteries of the laws of life and death. This is why she has the confidence to withstand the thunder of the laws.

Half of the third law lightning fell into the interior of the Xihuang world, instantly piercing through the nine heavens, and the nine layers of strong wind became chaotic. The already broken land of the thirty-six states shattered one after another. That was not all, the law lightning even penetrated the land of the thirty-six states and rushed into the underground abyss.

The many remaining ancient royal families living in the mysterious underground abyss, the suppressed ancient gods and demons, the races created by the ancient gods and demons, as well as the countless strange creatures unique to the underground abyss, were immediately severely hit by the thunder of the laws, and more than half of them died in just a moment.

The long river that guides the souls of all living beings has a tributary that extends into the underground abyss and begins to guide the souls left behind by the creatures in the abyss after their death.

Zhang Qian saw that the souls of many creatures in the underworld were resisting this kind of guidance. However, the Myriad Strategies of the Heavens had become a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, and its power was not something these souls could resist, and they were all pulled into the long river.

Rumble!
The fourth law of thunder fell, and the trunk of the World Tree was directly split in half, emitting billowing black smoke that rose into the boundless starry sky. At this moment, the World Tree finally began to use her inherent strength, and the terrifying power of creation and vitality surged out. The crown of the tree that had just been split into charcoal recovered visibly, and branches and leaves began to grow again.

This fourth law of thunder completely annihilated all living things in the Xihuang world. All things and spirits disappeared. The whole world became charred black and filled with endless deathly silence. There was no trace of life at all.

All you can see is wasteland, and all you can see is desolation!

"Has anyone ever successfully ascended to the Middle Thousand Worlds with such a terrifying law of tribulation?"

Zhang Qian couldn't help but secretly doubt, facing such a terrible law of thunder, is there really a precedent of successful promotion in the middle thousand worlds among the heavens and myriad worlds?

In his opinion, the conditions for successful promotion were too harsh, even to the point of despair. First of all, the Lord of the Middle Thousand Worlds must have the power to withstand the nine laws of thunder. Not only must he successfully withstand them, but he must also be able to block the power of each thunder and prevent it from falling into his world and destroying all living things.

This is too difficult. The World Tree has experienced life and death, and has withered and flourished several times. It has endless power of creation and vitality, and has comprehended the mysteries of the laws of life and death. It even has billions of roots entangled in the barriers of the world. Despite the existence of so many trump cards, many law thunders still allow the world to fall into the interior, causing the destruction of all things and spirits.

It can be imagined that in order to successfully advance, not only must the world's foundation be sufficient, but as the master of the world, one needs power that is several times stronger than that of the World Tree to have even a slight chance of success.

Just a trace.

How can this not make people despair?

Anyway, after seeing this catastrophe of promotion, Zhang Qian no longer had much interest in the world's promotion path. This path could be said to be the easiest path to becoming a Daluo Jinxian, but also the most difficult path.

As long as one successfully survives the catastrophe of promotion and allows the Middle Thousand World to be promoted to the Great Thousand World, the Lord of the World will, with the feedback of the world's great power, become a Daluo Golden Immortal, but the chance of success is too slim.

"More than 100 billion Rule Dao Gods, what an incredible number!"

As the Xihuang world and even the underground abyss collapsed, the long river that guided the souls of all spirits disappeared. More than one hundred billion rule gods appeared in the Myriad Dao Plans of the Heavens. These were the creatures of the entire world, and these were only the creatures with souls. The majority of creatures, such as insects, ants, flowers, plants, trees, etc., did not leave any souls after death, and the Myriad Dao Plans of the Heavens had no way to guide them.

Because of the addition of more than one hundred billion Rule Gods, Zhang Qian even felt that the Myriad Strategies of the Heavens and the Earth were a lot heavier, but he didn't know if it was an illusion.

“If I were to be blessed by more than 100 billion Rule Dao Gods…” Zhang Qian’s eyes lit up, but he shook his head fiercely: “No, no, this is courting death!”

Barely suppressing the thought, he stretched out his hand and rolled up the Myriad Strategies of the Heavens into a scroll, which returned silently to his spiritual space.

"There are still five more law tribulation thunders. Can you withstand them?"

Seeing that the Eye of the Dao was about to send down the fifth law of thunder, Zhang Qian asked the World Tree with some concern.

"Without destruction, there is no construction. Now, all creatures and spirits in the world have died in the calamity of collapse, waiting for the resurrection in the future. In this way, I have nothing to worry about. I don't have to bear too much of the next thunderbolt myself. I can let some of it fall into the world. In this way, I can be sure to make it through. Moreover, in my opinion, these law thunderbolts are the sharp weapon to cut off the foundation of the world. I just need to guide them over, and the 129,600 foundation nodes will all be broken, and this world will be separated from here!"

This has always been the hope of the World Tree. Only by moving the entire world away and hiding it among the heavens and myriad worlds can it get rid of Taihuangtian's covetousness and allow this world to develop freely.

Speaking of it, the moment when the Eye of Dao appears is exactly the moment that Taihuangtian has been looking forward to. It is the purpose of this Daluo Jinxian. The mysteries of the three thousand laws flow in the Eye of Dao, which is equivalent to the advent of the Dao of Law. Taihuangtian can comprehend the governing laws many times faster than usual by comprehending the Eye of Dao.
