Chapter 914: Clearing the Great Void, Facing the Great Dao

Time flies like a white horse passing by a crevice, and several more years have passed.

The Great Void.

Black Sky Clan Territory.

Rumble!

Accompanied by an earth-shaking roar, a column of fire soared into the sky, dispersing the darkness and haze between heaven and earth while completely burying the once-insufferable Clan Chief of the Black Sky Clan!

Simultaneously, a torrent of steel composed of countless tanks and artillery advanced majestically, coordinating with heavy bombers whistling overhead to launch the final general offensive against the stubbornly resisting Black Sky Clan tribes.

Boom boom boom boom boom!

Terrifying explosions rang out one after another, making the entire earth tremble.

When the dust finally settled, the Black Sky Clan, a powerful race that once dominated the Great Void, finally surrendered under the leadership of their new Clan Chief, announcing the arrival of a brand new era.

On a massive steam airship, Qi Yuan stood with his hands behind his back, quietly gazing down at the tragic, still-burning battlefield, his heart swelling with a profound sense of accomplishment.

Since the great dao divine tree was located at the very center of the Great Void, the closer they got to it, the more powerful the races they encountered, and the greater the trouble they caused the team!

Particularly the Black Sky Clan tribe guarding the edge of the Forbidden Land; not only was their population flourishing, but their individual strength was terrifyingly high. Born with the power to control darkness and destruction, they were like demon gods descended to the world.

If he hadn't used nuclear-powered electromagnetic cannons to forcibly grind down the Black Sky Clan Chief and his group of powerful experts, the outcome of this war would have been truly uncertain.

Of course, defeating the Black Sky Clan, the strongest tribe in the Great Void, meant that the Heaven and Earth Society Cyber Branch had completely conquered The Land of the Great Void, becoming the undisputed Dominator of this world!

And as the absolute leader of this power, he could now stand openly at the entrance of the Forbidden Land!

It was like clearing an extremely realistic strategy game, overcoming one difficult obstacle after another, defeating even stronger enemies, and finally completing the world-unifying grand achievement.

This feeling of maximum positive feedback was enough to make anyone feel intoxicated…

Just as Qi Yuan's heart was racing with excitement, his subordinates nearby could no longer contain their inner thrill and stepped forward to congratulate him:

"Chief Helmsman, we have won!"

"The Black Sky Clan has been completely pacified; they will soon hand over the Stone of Destruction and sign a formal surrender agreement!"

"Eternal victory to the Chief Helmsman! Eternal victory to the Cyber Branch!"

…

At this moment, the high-ranking members of the Cyber Branch looked at him with gazes full of extreme fanaticism and worship, as if they were looking at a supreme deity.

On the battlefield where the smoke had not yet cleared, tens of thousands of Cyber Branch warriors were equally elated, erupting into a deafening cheer, shouting his name and various slogans:

"The Chief Helmsman is mighty and invincible!"

"The Heaven and Earth Society Cyber Branch is invincible through the ages!"

"Break through ignorance, Science is eternal!"

"Eternal victory to the Heaven and Earth Society…"

These warriors came from various tribes in the Great Void, with all sorts of strange body types and facial features, fully demonstrating biodiversity. But now, they all wore uniform attire, their eyes flashing with a fiery and determined light, full of confidence in the path ahead.

Amidst the earth-shaking shouts, Xia Hanjun, who was usually indifferent and kept her emotions hidden, couldn't help but be affected by this soaring atmosphere. She stared blankly at Qi Yuan nearby, an uncontrollable shock rising in her heart.

As a fellow Cultivator who had entered the Great Void from the outside world, she had personally witnessed him go from a miserable, precarious prisoner to where he was today, so her feelings were naturally more profound.

To think that by one person's power, someone could truly change the world and shape it according to their own will—what a miracle!

At this moment, whether he was the Great Qian Founding Emperor no longer mattered to her. Such a person was destined to shine brilliantly wherever they were and could never remain obscure.

Even if his identity as the 'Reincarnation of the Great Qian Founding Emperor' was fake, he was still an admirable legend.

Thinking of this, a sentence inexplicably surfaced in Xia Hanjun's mind:

The foolish turn away from the era, the wise adapt to the era, but true heroes create their own era…

Amidst the overwhelming cheers, Qi Yuan, standing on the deck, smiled slightly and slowly spread his arms, declaring loudly:

"This is a victory for science, a victory for the Heaven and Earth Society, and most importantly, a victory for all of you…"

Above his head, on the massive belly of this Zeppelin airship, an extremely conspicuous Earth Chinese character 'Qi' was painted. It was the exclusive emblem Qi Yuan had specifically designed for the Heaven and Earth Society Cyber Branch.

Of course, this was just a whim born of his sense of humor; including Xia Hanjun, no one knew what this strange symbol meant…

…

A short while later.

The entrance to the Forbidden Land.

Looking at the dim Chaos ahead, Qi Yuan narrowed his eyes and instructed the dutiful female bodyguard behind him:

"General Xia, I will go in by myself. You wait here."

"You… you're really going in there?"

Xia Hanjun hesitated for a moment, unable to resist reminding him, "I've heard them say before that any living being that enters the Forbidden Land will be instantly obliterated."

"You don't need to worry."

Qi Yuan smiled faintly and said with a composed expression:

"If someone forcibly breaks in without an invitation from the great dao divine tree, anyone would surely die. Even an Immortal Emperor would be assimilated and annihilated by the Dao power inside."

"But I am different. I was invited by the great dao divine tree in a proper and honorable manner. Why should I be afraid?"

After speaking, he strode grandly into the entrance of the Forbidden Land under the warrior goddess's incredibly shocked gaze.

As he got closer and closer to the Forbidden Land, the sense of calling from the unknown became more obvious. Now that he was here, there was naturally no reason to hesitate and not enter.

The moment one foot stepped into the Chaos, Qi Yuan felt his vision blur, as if he had traveled through layers of time and space, transported to a vast and boundless mysterious space.

In this place, everything was in a blurred state; one couldn't distinguish up from down or left from right, nor time from space. It was as if he had returned to the chaotic years before the Grandmist was divided and heaven and earth were opened.

The first thing that caught his eye was an incredibly massive golden tree. As far as the eye could see, one couldn't even grasp the full view of this tree.

The branches of the giant tree were like profound grids piercing through heaven and earth, spreading toward an indescribable, unreachable endpoint.

In front of this single tree, all the mysteries of the world lost their proper concealment and turned into the purest and simplest concepts.

Qi Yuan was awestruck by the magnificent sight with just one look. Countless Dao insights turned into a massive torrent of information, scrambling to pour into his mind.

At this moment, his mind went blank, a strange energy suddenly erupted within his body, and his surrounding aura began to climb steadily.

Not good!

Realizing something, Qi Yuan, who had been forcibly pulled into a state of cultivation, suddenly had a drastic change of expression. He hurriedly composed his thoughts, wanting to forcibly cut off this enlightenment.

His current cultivation was at the Dao Integration Peak. If he continued to Breakthrough, he would have to undergo a tribulation!

The problem was, Undergoing Tribulation right under the nose of the great dao divine tree—heaven knows what kind of extraordinary things would happen.

However, to his horror, even when he closed his eyes, he still couldn't suppress the surging Dao insights in his mind; instead, he sank even deeper.

In the next moment, wisps of decaying and withering aura began to emanate from him, gradually spreading to his four limbs and hundred bones.

I'm finished!

I've already entered the Tribulation Crossing Realm!

Facing the sudden arrival of his first Dao Tribulation, Qi Yuan's mood was incredibly frustrated…
