Chapter 547: Destroying the World with a Finger, Enslaving the Heavenly Dao

As the Heavenly Dao Ancestor, he was actually provoked by an ant!

He didn't believe Zhou Chen could really take this step; he didn't believe anyone could break free from fate!

"Eye of the Heavenly Dao, destroy!"

"world-destroying giant hand, suppress!"

"fate dao principle, die!"

At the end of the Void Realm, that giant eye representing the Heavenly Dao shot out a divine light of extinction.

The world-destroying giant hand, which had paused in mid-air, erupted with terrifying power once again, pressing down on Zhou Chen and the entire Spirit Realm simultaneously.

He wanted to wipe out this ant who dared to resist, along with the world that had given birth to this anomaly!

However, Zhou Chen merely lifted his eyelids and glanced at the Eye of the Heavenly Dao.

Just that one look.

That eye, so unimaginably huge, was pierced as if by an invisible sharp sword, and blood instantly gushed out like a fountain.

A shrill, mournful cry echoed through the heavens.

The Eye of the Heavenly Dao was blinded!

Next, Zhou Chen softly uttered a single word toward the descending world-destroying giant hand.

"Disperse."

In countless deductions of the Heavenly Dao, the world-destroying giant hand was enough to destroy the entire Spirit Realm; the same hand that the previous Zhou Chen could only withstand for the duration of an incense stick now dissipated inch by inch like green smoke, turning into nothingness.

"Law Follows the Word?!"

Han Li's pupils constricted.

"Poof!"

Ye Chen felt as if he had been struck by a heavy blow, violently spitting out a mouthful of golden blood as his aura instantly withered.

He looked at Zhou Chen in disbelief, his eyes filled with endless fear.

"You… what you have achieved is not the Heavenly Dao Ancestor… you… you have transcended…"

"Realizing it only now? It's too late."

Zhou Chen shook his head and slowly extended a finger toward Ye Chen.

"No! You can't kill me! I am the Heavenly Dao! If you kill me, this world will collapse too!"

Ye Chen screamed in terror.

"Is that so?"

Zhou Chen's fingertip touched the center of Ye Chen's forehead.

"Unfortunately, I have the final say."

There was no brilliance, no sound.

Starting from his forehead, Ye Chen's figure bit by bit turned into points of light, dissipating into the void.

The traces of his existence, the Karma he left behind, and the Great Dao of 'Fate' he represented were all completely erased from their source by Zhou Chen at this moment.

From now on, between heaven and earth, there would be no more Ye Chen, and no more Heavenly Dao Ancestor.

After doing all this, Zhou Chen looked up at the wailing firmament.

"Spirit Realm's Heavenly Dao, I know you have developed consciousness."

His voice spread throughout the entire Spirit Realm.

"Submit, or die."

Above the firmament, the winds and clouds changed color, and thunder roared, as if expressing its unwillingness and anger.

Zhou Chen gave a cold snort.

A terrifying pressure that surpassed everything instantly enveloped the entire Spirit Realm.

The firmament's struggle stopped instantly.

The next moment, a golden light descended from the sky, transforming into a trembling, illusory shadow in front of Zhou Chen, prostrating on the ground.

Zhou Chen flicked his finger, and a 'Severance' mark sank into the shadow's body.

From then on, the life and death of the Spirit Realm's Heavenly Dao were within his single thought.

It had completely become his slave.

Han Li stood to the side, quietly watching this myth-like scene, a tidal wave of shock already surging in his heart.

Killing a Heavenly Dao Ancestor with a single finger.

Suppressing the Heavenly Dao of a world with a single word.

Is this… the true Great Dao Ancestor Realm?

So strong… it's unbelievable.

He looked at Zhou Chen with a sincere smile on his face, cupping his hands and saying, "Congratulations, Brother Zhou, for attaining the Great Dao and achieving transcendent freedom."

Zhou Chen withdrew his gaze, looked at Han Li, and also smiled: "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be who I am today."

"There's no need for such words between us."

Han Li waved his hand, his eyes burning with fierce Battle Intent once again.

"It's a deal; once I also become a Dao Ancestor, let's have a hearty battle!"

"Alright."

Zhou Chen nodded with a smile and solemnly agreed.

"I'll wait for you."

He knew that with Han Li's talent and Heart-Nature, as long as the shackles of the Heavenly Dao known as Ye Chen were gone, a Breakthrough to Dao Ancestor was only a matter of time.

"I should go."

Zhou Chen glanced at the devastated battlefield, then at the Cultivators below who had survived the disaster and were bowing to him in worship, and shook his head.

With the matters here concluded, it was time for him to leave.

At least, to go for a walk and take a look around.

"Brother Zhou, take care."

Han Li said solemnly.

Zhou Chen nodded, took a step forward, and his figure vanished from the spot without a trace, as if he had never appeared.

Han Li stood in the void, watching Zhou Chen leave, the smile on his face not fading for a long time.

However, not long after Zhou Chen left.

Han Li's figure began to become transparent at a rate visible to the naked eye.

An irresistible sense of weakness came from the depths of his Soul.

He knew the backlash had arrived.

As an Immortal Emperor, forcibly burning the time dao principle to reverse time and space.

This kind of price was unbearable for anyone but a Dao Ancestor.

That Han Li could hold on until now was already a miracle.

Han Li's life and his existence were being erased from their source by the river of time.

Han Li was about to disappear completely, existing in no time or space, and in no segment of history.

"Hehe…"

Han Li felt his body dissipating, but there was no fear on his face; instead, he showed a smile of relief.

He looked up in the direction where Zhou Chen had disappeared and murmured softly.

"This time, it's truly goodbye, Brother Zhou."

As his voice fell, his figure completely turned into countless points of light, dissipating into the void.

Not a single trace was left behind.

It was as if this person had never existed.

In the dead silence of the void, only a faint, long sigh remained, speaking of a lifetime of regret and witnessing a friendship that spanned eternity.

When Zhou Chen reappeared, he was already outside the mountain gate of the Xuantian Sect.

He felt the long sigh in the void and the aura that had completely dissipated, and remained silent for a long time.

"Han Li…"

In the end, he still couldn't save him.

The price of reversing time and space was too great.

Even with his current power, he couldn't fish back someone who had been completely erased by the river of time.

Perhaps one day, Zhou Chen would be strong enough to reverse everything and bring Han Li back from nothingness.

As for whether it would succeed, who knows.

Zhou Chen composed himself, and his gaze fell upon the Xuantian Sect before him.

At this moment, the Xuantian Sect was in a mess.

The mountain-protecting array was shattered, countless peaks had collapsed, and there were ruins everywhere.

Obviously, in the previous world-destroying war that affected the entire Spirit Realm, the Xuantian Sect had also suffered heavy losses.

Zhou Chen took a step, and his figure appeared in front of the Tianxuan Great Hall.

Inside the hall, the remaining high-level members of the Xuantian Sect were discussing post-war reconstruction.

Leading them were Sect Master Ling Tian and Grand Elder Old Man Ku Mu.

Both of them had withered auras and were injured; clearly, they had been badly hurt in the previous battle.

When Zhou Chen's figure appeared in the center of the hall without any warning, everyone was startled.

"Who?!"
