Chapter 665: Stealing the Universe (Two chapters combined, 6200+)

When Zhang Yu's eyes swept over the immortal skills in the Taoist Canon, only brief and almost meaningless introductions emerged.

Before actually choosing the immortal sect's martial arts technique, Zhang Yu could feel the tremendous pressure from the gods in all aspects.

However, Zhang Yu also understood that although this pressure would become stronger and heavier before he chose the immortal gate technique, as long as he could hold on... once he had chosen the immortal gate technique, the gods would lose the possibility of pursuing higher profits and would no longer continue to exert pressure. Instead, they would maintain the income and growth that Zhang Yu would bring about with the new technology.

"It's just like what Teacher Xinghuo said before. They will put a lot of pressure on me for a 100-cent profit. But once they are sure that the profit will be irreversible after 10 cents, they will stop wasting time and stop worrying about the sunk costs."

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "Compared to venting their anger or seeking revenge... for the sake of profit, to keep up with the others, they'll still choose to cooperate with me and keep that 10% profit."

"This is the code of conduct for the Kunxu strongmen, a group of pure profit-seeking creatures."

After realizing this, Zhang Yu couldn't help but sigh. He had always disliked certain characteristics of Kunxu, but this time it became the reason why he could continue to move forward in the gap between Huashen, the Ten Schools, and the Sect.

It was precisely by taking advantage of this that Zhang Yu injected his own will into the matter of changing the world.

He wants to choose the immortal martial art "Kunlun in the Palm" and interfere with the future of the world.

And just when Zhang Yu made his choice and obtained the right to use the "Kunlun in the Palm" technique.

Zhang Yu turned around and looked at the host, and the words Dao Qiankun had just said emerged in his mind.

"What exactly does the so-called new world mean? Is the person speaking really Dao Ge? Didn't Dao Ge die? Is he faking his death? Why?"

But before Zhang Yu had much chance to think, a shocking scene appeared before him.

As the sky was torn apart, the scenes of the 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th floors of Kunxu appeared in the sky.

Looking up at the scene that looked like layers of "heaven", Zhang Yu was shocked and asked in his heart: "What happened?"

Compared to Zhang Yu's complete ignorance, many university leaders in the audience had already changed their expressions before Zhang Yu selected the immortal technique.

An Zhen Zhenjun looked at the news that appeared in his eyes, his eyes becoming more and more serious: "University Town Riot... Shuangxiu Cult Invasion... Evil Gods are wreaking havoc..."

Director Gao's eyes flickered, and his heart sank. "Myriad Laws...Immortal Soldiers...Vajra...All ten major universities were attacked. This scale and scope is something the Demon Cult alone could never accomplish."

A large amount of data kept appearing in Zhang Pianpian's eyes: "Not only the 2nd floor, but also the 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th floors have been attacked on a large scale. The financial tsunami has begun... Is the Finance Department involved? So..."

The moment Zhang Pianpian looked up at the sky, the 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th layers of the sky appeared one after another.

"The emergency plan has been activated." Zhang Pianpian thought to himself, "Faced with this large-scale riot, the Heavenly Court has chosen to tear open the sky and penetrate all 2nd to 6th layers. They are going to directly descend to the mortal world to carry out large-scale intervention."

Amidst countless shocked gazes, at the apex of the sixth layer of sky, dense golden divine light continued to emerge from the layer of sky above the sky, as if it would penetrate the worlds of the second to sixth layers in the next moment.

An Zhen Zhen, watching this scene, breathed a sigh of relief: "No matter what happens, with the righteous gods in charge, these demonic cults and evil gods won't be able to cause any major trouble..."

Just as countless powerful beings under the sky were thinking this, looking at the divine light in the sky with awe...

The next moment, a bottomless darkness spread across the sky on the 6th floor.

At this moment, the sky seemed to have turned into an abyss, as if heaven and earth were turned upside down, and the whole world was about to sink into it.

And as darkness emerged, the righteous gods who had just been shining brightly, like light bulbs with the power cut off, flickered for a while and then completely disappeared.

Zhang Pianpian, watching this scene, finally revealed a look of surprise: "The spatial structure between the 6th and 7th floors... was temporarily disconnected? Did an immortal take action?"

Not only did the divine light in the sky disappear, but soon the people on the second floor discovered that the righteous gods could no longer be seen on the entire second floor.

All the righteous gods seemed to be disconnected and disappeared without a trace at this moment.

In an instant, the riots that spread across schools became more and more violent.

At the same time, many powerful figures at the award ceremony had flashed, or retracted their projections, or left quickly, all wanting to go to the place where they were attacked to recover their losses.

The great god of all living beings who had just stood next to Zhang Yu had also disappeared.

The host had walked to Zhang Yu's side without him noticing, and said calmly, "I'm sorry, Zhang Yu. I was originally planning to take your place, but they've already found this body. I have no choice but to let Dao Qiankun's identity disappear for the time being."

"I didn't expect you to be able to defeat Kuang Tianqing and come this far."

As he spoke, Dao Qiankun had already walked in front of Zhang Yu and stood in front of him.

"Kunxu is now beyond salvation. Even the power and ideas I spread...are constantly being distorted by the changing environment."

"Zhang Yu, whether you have chosen the Six Paths of Evolution or not, and whether you are willing to accept the opportunity I give you."

"But from now on...you can hide behind me."

"Until the new world is complete, until this world is back on track."

As he spoke, the host gradually changed into the appearance of Dao Qiankun.

At the same time, the spiritual network at the scene seemed to have been completely controlled by Dao Qiankun. Countless cameras were now aimed at him, and all videos and live broadcasts were playing Dao Qiankun's images.

Zhang Pianpian was shocked and said, "What a high spiritual authority!"

And the next moment, under the gaze of countless people, Dao Qiankun said: "Reincarnation does exist."

“Death is not an end, but a new beginning.”

"Everyone will be reincarnated after death and can be reborn."

“Don’t be afraid of death.”

…

In the audience.

Ever since the university riot and the sky was torn apart, Kuang Tianqing has been in a state of shock.

"Did we do this?"

"The higher-ups' plan is actually going to be this big?"

But when the righteous god disappeared, Kuang Tianqing felt something was wrong.

Ancient memories kept churning in her mind, various possibilities kept rising, and then were overturned one after another by her.

"No matter how reckless it is... directly severing all connections with the righteous gods is too much."

"This can't possibly be what Samsara Group meant."

Looking at Dao Qiankun walking in front of Zhang Yu, Kuang Tianqing thought to himself, "This is really crazy. What on earth is he trying to do?"

And when Dao Qiankun stood in front of Zhang Yu and said those words about reincarnation, a hint of enlightenment gradually emerged in Kuang Tianqing's heart.

"Come to think of it, it was probably because of 'his' assurance that Samsara Group didn't interfere with Zhang Yu."

"And what 'he' said at this moment will make the Samsara Group the target of public criticism, causing countless people to suspect that all of today's plans are related to the promotion of the new Samsara system..."

But Kuang Tianqing was certain through his memories that the current scene was not what the Samsara Group expected.

"Taking advantage of the opportunity of the Ten Major Leagues involving the issuance of immortal technology, we will gradually incite competition between universities, sects, and immortals."

"With everyone chasing profit, fearing and pulling against each other, and their power constantly dispersed, 'he' has accomplished the shocking feat we see before us."

"They even linked together a large number of forces from top to bottom in advance to achieve their goals."

"But the consequences of doing this...did 'he' not consider them at all?"

Looking at the pitch-black sky that seemed like a bottomless abyss, Kuang Tianqing wondered in his heart, "Why didn't the other immortals stop "him" immediately? Is it because they were involved in other things?"

Kuang Tianqing thought of the sects that were suspicious of each other at the moment, as well as the Samsara Group.

"I'm afraid a considerable portion of the force has been used to confront the Samsara Group."

"But we haven't done anything so reckless. I'm afraid other forces won't trust us so easily now. After all, we've already offended too many people and forces in our promotion of the new reincarnation system, and now we've been dragged into this kind of thing..."

Even Kuang Tianqing had another doubt in his heart at this moment: "But... are we really not messing around?"

Thinking that even he had doubts, Kuang Tianqing understood that there was no way that the higher-ups would not be wary of the Samsara Group at this moment.

"But it's useless. At most it can only delay a little time..."

Just as Kuang Tianqing was thinking, a ray of light suddenly emerged in the infinite darkness above the sky.

Kuang Tianqing's heart moved: "Here it comes!"

In the dark sky, it was as if two invisible giant hands were wrestling with each other. The divine light representing the righteous gods also emerged from time to time, as if it was about to break through the blockade of darkness and fall into the world again.

But in the next moment, the entire second floor suddenly shook violently.

Many people soon discovered that it was not just the 2nd floor that was vibrating, but the space on every floor from the 2nd to the 6th floor was vibrating violently.

Kuang Tianqing also discovered that at some point, the projections of the gods at the scene had disappeared. All the gods from the ten major universities and their projections had completely left the scene.

At the same time, in a forest far away from the venue.

Jiu Tianliu, who did not attend the award ceremony, was looking at the project in front of him and thought to himself, "So a large amount of money has been invested here?"

"No, not just here, but in countless corners throughout the 2nd to 6th floors."

"No wonder they invested so much resources, no wonder they had to control various civil engineering projects, no wonder they were willing to take such risks..."

Jiutianliu looked at the gradually fading sixth floor, and endless fighting spirit seemed to surge into the sky in his heart.

“Just because it’s a whole new world of benefits.”

"If there weren't such huge profits, how could our Finance Department take such a big risk?"

"But as long as the profits are sufficient, what does it matter if we are gods? What does it matter if we are immortals? We in the Finance Department will do what no one else in the world dares to do!"

"Today I will seize a world, I will steal the universe..."

Jiutianliu knew that what his master said was right, the Finance Department had been exploited.

As a result, the wallets of many people in the sect were squeezed.

Profits are constantly being reaped, but they are constantly being taken away.

Even though the Finance Department has tried its best, the growth of profits and assets has gradually come to an end.

The slowdown or disappearance of growth is difficult to accept for countless powerful people in the finance department.

Without high growth, there will be no confidence, it will be difficult to gather momentum, and the foundation of the entire financial system will be shaken.

"But as long as we can capture one world, everything will be solved."

Jiutianliu looked at the night sky on the sixth floor, where rays of divine light were entwining and colliding with each other. He knew that the great battle between the gods had begun.

Jiu Tianliu sighed in his heart, "Master and the others have gone to attack the main bodies of the many incarnations on the sixth floor, right?"

At the same time, Jiutianliu could see from his eyes that as the battle of the ten schools to become gods unfolded, prices soared, and the stock and currency prices of each school continued to plummet. A financial tsunami that swept across the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th floors began.

…

at the same time.

Award ceremony.

Zhang Yu looked at the sixth floor gradually disappearing in the sky and said solemnly, "Brother Dao, I don't know who you are, but I can still call you Brother Dao, right? What exactly do you want to do?"

Dao Qiankun looked up at the sky and said with emotion, "Back then, we tried our best and sacrificed countless lives. Only after repeated bloody battles did we have Kunxu."

"There was no reincarnation back then. Once you died, you were truly dead. My master, my sect leader... they're all dead."

"But we finally defeated those soul-sucking demons, suppressed those man-eating monsters, and crushed the demons and monsters above everyone's head one by one. But we never expected... never expected..."

Dao Qiankun's face showed a trace of sadness: "My fellow Taoist has become a demon among immortals, my fellow disciples have become monsters among immortals, and my disciples ride on everyone's heads, pulling out their tendons and skinning them. They are even worse than the monsters and demons of the past."

"They're actually trying to revive the Sect Leader and bring back our Master who died outside of the cycle of reincarnation. They're really plotting against them..."

"How can I face them? How can I let the Sect Leader and Master see the world they sacrificed everything for become like this?"

Zhang Yu looked at Dao Qiankun in front of him and felt that the person in front of him seemed to have become a different person. He became a lonely young man with tearful eyes and was crying continuously.

Dao Qiankun murmured, "As long as those people above remain, Kunxu will never be able to return to the right track. It will always be just a slaughterhouse, slaughtering and exploiting billions of lives below time and time again, and going crazy in the constant pursuit of profit."

"I want to take levels 2 to 6 out of Kunxu, break free from the constraints here, and open up a new world."

Dao Qiankun turned around and looked at Zhang Yu and said, "Zhang Yu, don't be nervous or afraid. Even if you didn't choose the Six Paths of Evolution Book and didn't choose the chance to be with me, you can still hide behind me."

"You have the potential I value in you, but you're constrained by the world around you and your past experiences, and therefore haven't made the right choices..."

At the same time, Dao Qiankun's eyes suddenly moved, and he looked in Zhang Pianpian's direction with some surprise: "Oh?"

The message sent by Zhang Pianpian appeared in front of Zhang Yu's eyes.

Zhang Pianpian: Zhang Yu, what martial arts did you choose?

Zhang Yu: Kunlun in the Palm

Zhang Pianpian: Very good

Zhang Pianpian: Don't listen to Dao Qiankun's deception, he won't succeed.

Dao Qiankun looked at Zhang Yu, as if he could see through the content of their conversation, but he had no intention of stopping them.

As Zhang Pianpian spoke, the sixth layer in the sky, which was gradually becoming dim, also stopped, as if it had been stopped by someone.

Dao Qiankun, watching this scene, said calmly, "Zhang Yu, it's time for us to leave."

As he spoke, he extended his hand to Zhang Yu: "Come with me. If you continue to stay here, you will be in danger."

"Come with me to the new world."

Zhang Pianpian: Zhang Yu, don't trust him! He is doomed to fail. If you follow him, you will be investigated by the Heavenly Court and the sect in the future.

Listening to Dao Qiankun's words and looking at the words appearing on his eyes, Zhang Yu took a deep breath and finally chose to believe his sister and slowly stepped back.

Dao Qiankun sighed as he watched this scene. As the sixth layer of the sky continued to flicker, the light in his eyes seemed to flicker violently, and his aura gave people a feeling of instability.

Dao Qiankun said calmly, "Zhang Yu, if you choose another technique, I can respect your decision and let you stay here and decide your own future."

"But you chose 'Kunlun in the Palm' and possess my bloodline power. Leaving you here poses too much of a risk to our plan..."

Just as Dao Qiankun and Zhang Yu were talking, several Yuanying and Jindan powerhouses in the audience rose into the sky, trying to capture him.

But outside the venue, a group of unlicensed strong men from the Demon Cult appeared and surrounded them with their numerical advantage, forcing the strong men from various schools to resist.

Dao Qiankun didn't care about the chaos outside, but looked at Zhang Yu in front of him and continued: "So I can only use force to take you away."

While speaking, Director Gao, Zhang Pianpian, Xinghuo Zhenren and others attacked Dao Qiankun one after another.

But with a distortion of space, all the forces attacking Dao Qiankun were deflected.

This layer of distorted space was like a protective shield, completely enveloping Zhang Yu and Dao Qiankun and preventing any interference from the outside world.

The next moment, Dao Qiankun grabbed Zhang Yu with one hand, and thunders crossed the space and attacked with overwhelming force.

At this moment, Zhang Yu only felt that Dao Qiankun's palm filled the heaven and earth, as if it was going to completely cover him with one palm.

"The space has changed..." Zhang Yu was shocked. "Is it an immortal sect technique involving space technology?"

Zhang Yu knew that no matter who this "Dao Qiankun" in front of him was, the other party's strength was extremely powerful. Even when this righteous god disappeared, he could still illegally perform the immortal skills.

At the same time, news of Zhang Pianpian appeared in Zhang Yu's eyes.

Zhang Pianpian: Don't be afraid of him. He is now leading the fight on the sixth floor and can't spare any strength or energy to go down there.

Zhang Pianpian: He can only use this body of Dao Qiankun. No matter the data or various abilities, they are all within the scope of Dao Qiankun itself.

Zhang Pianpian: His essence is still Dao Qiankun! He is still a mortal! He just has more memories.

At the same time, Zhang Pianpian shouted to Director Gao, Xinghuo Zhenren and others beside him: "Keep attacking. He can't hold out for long with his magical power deflecting our attacks across borders."

Seeing the deflected space gradually breaking apart, everyone's hearts were lifted, knowing that they would soon be able to break through Dao Qiankun's defense.

It was also at this moment that Zhang Pianpian started the live broadcast to record everything that happened below.

"We must confirm that Zhang Yu and we are fighting against Dao Qiankun together..."

At the same time, Zhang Yu felt Dao Qiankun's attacking palm, but he put all his energy into it and entered an unprecedented state of mental concentration.

Retract, shrink, and enlarge...

This is the meaning of the only three moves in "Kunlun in the Palm".

When facing Dao Qiankun's attack, Zhang Yu devoted himself wholeheartedly to the mystery of "Kunlun in the Palm" and tried to put aside all distractions.

In the first move, his body seemed to be torn through space, and Dao Qiankun knocked him out of the green water and golden crystal armor with a palm.

The second move, Tianri Huangshen, and the twenty-four Taihao Shenglu flying swords were all sucked into Dao Qiankun's palm by a distorted space.

The third move, thunders crossed the space and locked Zhang Yu's body. At the same time, he felt that his body was shrinking and falling towards Dao Qiankun's palm.

But just after these three moves, a strange look suddenly appeared in Dao Qiankun's eyes.

A visible distortion emerged from Zhang Yu's body.

The atmosphere danced with his body, and the sunlight seemed to pass over him.

Kunlun in the Palm Level 1 (0/10)

As the level 1 "Kunlun in the Palm" was activated, Zhang Yu leaped out, breaking through the blockade of space distortion and directly jumping out of Dao Qiankun's control.

Everyone present was also looking at this scene in surprise.

"Learned it?!" Director Gao exclaimed in shock. "It's only been a short time since I got it, and Zhang Yu has already mastered 'Kunlun in the Palm'?"

On the other side, True Man Xinghuo was also shocked: "This is an immortal sect's technique, and you can actually learn it after just one use?"

Dao Qiankun looked at Zhang Yu with a strange expression, nodded, and said, "I see."

His face turned serious and he said, "Then you have to come with me."

His aura suddenly surged. At this moment, Dao Qiankun no longer needed to hide, nor did he need the support of the Golden Core Certificate. He actually stepped directly into the Golden Core realm.

Dao Qiankun attacked again, and the power of his palm increased dramatically. Zhang Yu felt that the space in front of him was as solid as an iron wall, and it was difficult to shake it with his level 1 "Kunlun in the Palm".

"Am I going to break through?"

"But if I break through now, it will be an unlicensed breakthrough to the Golden Core stage."

"But if I don't break through, I'll be caught by this guy."

Just as Zhang Yu was thinking frantically in his mind and constantly judging the situation in front of him, Dao Qiankun's attack actually slowed down slightly.

The space that had just shrouded the surroundings was deflected and shattered, and the siege of Director Gao, Xinghuo Zhenren, Zhang Pianpian and others suddenly fell.

But Dao Qiankun did not look at them, but looked at Yu Xinghan's position with some surprise.

"My martial arts? This kid just learned a bit of it?"

"But it was this one point that broke my prediction and caused Gao Chongguang and his team's offensive to fall prematurely."

"That's all..."

Dao Qiankun's figure flashed slightly, and he seemed to be gradually leaving the space in front of him, just like the sixth level of emptiness, and all the attacks on him fell into the air.

Dao Qiankun soared into the sky, and under the guidance of a force, flew to the sixth level of Kunxu in the sky.

At the same time, the virtualization of the entire sixth layer accelerated again.

In Dao Qiankun's eyes, it seemed that an infinitely vast world was appearing before his eyes.

Dao Qiankun opened his arms and embraced this new world.
