Shine Upon All Heavens

A Thorn Tree grows among many graves.

From a distance, it looks like a standing mace, its petrified body covered with long thorns, each as thick as a baby's forearm!

Wu Dade walked step by step toward the Thorn Tree, a complex look in his eyes.

This... this thing is my treasure?

Something's not right...

It looked so creepy that it gave him the creeps.

The rare plants in the yard are either divine herbs or divine trees, and they all bear fruit, which has great benefits when eaten.

I'm like a spiked club...

But, just as he got close, a huge wave of divine power surged from behind him.

Lu Zhaizhai of the Six-Eared Macaque Race made his move, slapping down on Wu Dade with his large hand.

Wu Dade's expression changed, and he hurriedly dodged.

"Bang!"

The giant hand slammed into the hard white sand, sending it flying. Wu Dade was sent flying backward, crashing heavily against the edge of a sand dune, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

"You damned monkey... you're asking for it!"

Wu Dade roared.

But at this moment, Lu Zhaizhai had already landed in front of the Thorn Tree that resembled a "wolf's fang club".

An unparalleled fervor flashed in his eyes.

"Born with divine thorns, it devours all metal in the world... Could this be the legendary divine tree?"

"The Melting Gold Tree?!"

He recalled many legends.

Ancient texts record that certain trees grow between heaven and earth, possessing extraordinary properties. They can devour divine metals to grow, becoming immortal and eternally indestructible.

That Plant Trees is itself a peerless divine weapon.

The tree before me... grows in this impenetrable white sand.

It's definitely one of those legendary sacred trees!

Moreover, the entire surface of the tree was surrounded by a golden divine light, clearly indicating that it was a divine object.

An unparalleled divine artifact!

"This... if we could obtain it, it might be no less powerful than the iron rod of the one Five Elements Mountain!"

He greedily reached out, trying to grab the tree in his hand.

"Lu Zhaizhai, stop!"

"This belongs to us!"

Long Panyun and Long Pantian shouted and attacked Lu Zhaizhai.

But they were ultimately a step too late.

Lu Zhaizhai had already grabbed the roots of the tree.

At this very moment,

Suddenly, the pale golden light on the surface of the divine tree vanished completely.

The divine tree suddenly changed, revealing its grayish-brown body, which looked as if it were carved from stone and had been eroded by time and moisture, its entire body covered with strange stone spots!

At this moment, the mad leopard's eerie gray mist surged forth wildly!

The gray mist condensed into a giant hand, which grabbed Lu Zhaizhai's hand. Lu Zhaizhai's hand instantly turned to stone, and his eyes were filled with extreme terror.

"Ah--"

With that cry of alarm, he turned into a stone statue.

Bang!

Lu Zhaizhai crashed to the ground, completely lifeless, even his soul had ceased to exist.

"What?"

"What is that?!"

Both Long Panyun and Long Pantian paled in shock, their faces contorted with extreme fear.

Everyone was horrified.

It should be noted that Lu Zhaizhai was a powerful demon lord from the peerless Demon Race, the Six-Eared Macaque Race, yet he was utterly powerless to resist this strange gray fog.

Touch it and you will die!

"Kill it before it takes shape!"

"Bring forth the ancestral artifacts!"

Long Pantian and Long Panyun cried out!

Many powerful members of the Flood Dragon Demon Race charged forward.

But the gray mist hand that destroyed Lu Zhaizhai was merely raised slightly.

Dozens of True Demon and Heavenly Demon turned into stone statues in mid-air at that moment.

Then it landed, smashed to pieces, and turned into dust.

"Die!"

Long Pantian unleashed a terrifying demonic weapon—a gigantic pair of demonic scissors—as if to slice through the eerie gray mist.

However, the moment the demonic scissors came into contact with the mist, they instantly petrified, decayed, and vanished.

"What the hell is this thing?!"

Long Pantian trembled; at this moment, he was terrified to the extreme.

"No... Could it be... could this be... that kind of thing from the legends of the Era of Calamity?!"

Long Panyun was even more horrified. He kept backing away, cold sweat pouring down his face, and said:

"The Great Destruction, the Great Deathly Stillness, the Great Doomsday... weren't they supposed to have vanished into the mists of history? Why are they reappearing today?!"

"What... what exactly did we release?!"

His voice trembled!

Even the big black dog, at this moment, glared and said:

"Woof, we're doomed, we've really messed up... The Molten Gold Ancestor Tree was too ruthless back then, melting all the eerie gray mist into its body. This part is what it didn't melt..."

"Damn it, the reserves from the Myriad Ancient Era... if they're released, the entire Yang Realm will be doomed!"

"I haven't retrieved this Emperor Dao Fruit yet... I can't compete with this thing right now!"

Its eyes gleamed; it clearly wanted to run away as fast as it could!

Under everyone's watchful eyes, a thick gray mist surged from the thorny stone tree, gradually condensing and slowly transforming into a human figure.

He looks exactly like Lu Zhaizhai, who just died!

However, it lacked any human emotion.

Cold and eerie.

As this strange creature appeared, behind it, it was as if a vast ocean of gray mist had appeared, filling the entire starry sky!

Suddenly, all the principles of the universe vanished from this world; even the white sand beneath their feet seemed to have disappeared.

As the gray fog appeared, the world seemed to fall into Great Void.

Everything should be nonexistent; nothingness and death are the ultimate destination.

This spirit of gray mist seems to represent the most eternal annihilation!

This aura seemed to transcend everything in the world, traversing the entire Great Fortune Star Realm and spreading throughout the vast star field!

In the cold cosmic space, countless sources of darkness and laws of light suddenly became ethereal, and the entire starry sky seemed to be disappearing from the Yang Realm!

At this moment, countless living beings trembled, and the entire starry sky was plunged into an apocalyptic state.

"No... what's going on? Why do I feel such immense sorrow for all living beings... is the whole world about to disappear?"

At the center of a certain star wheel's eternal realm, a powerful being trembled, his face filled with terror, looking up at the heavens with nowhere to go.

"What exactly happened?! What's going on in this corner of the star system?"

Somewhere in the void, a peerless god-king who was in seclusion suddenly awoke, horrified to find that his entire being seemed to be fading into nothingness!

What's going on?

"All the laws of heaven and earth have vanished... How could this be? Is the Great Destruction recorded in ancient times about to descend upon this world?"

"Where is this aura coming from...? No, quickly report to the Divine Realm! Quickly report to the Divine Realm! A great calamity is about to befall us!"

"Calamity, great calamity!"

The entire universe trembled, and a vast star field collapsed!

This aura roared forth and spread throughout all realms.

The endless sky.

A vast celestial realm, set against an auspicious backdrop, is dotted with divine kingdoms, stretching to the horizon.

This is the realm of the gods!

And in the clouds of this vast divine realm, countless Heavenly Palace stand tall.

The Thirty-Three Heavens, towering above the divine realm, are where countless giants of the Yang Realm Thirty-Three Heavens.

Meanwhile, in a certain grand palace...

An indescribable, terrifying being, seemingly having sat there for countless eons.

At this moment, a pair of aged eyes slowly opened, as if the entire world trembled because of this opening, and countless divine clouds collapsed.

"An aura of earth-shattering power is emanating from the Forty-Ninth Star Domain... Could it be that the ancient legendary Calamity Mist has reappeared in the lower realm?"

This being possessed an overwhelming aura; its true nature was beyond comprehension.

He murmured, "The calamities emanating from the lower realm disturb my heart..."

"I guard this heaven, and shall Shine Upon All Heavens, seeking the source of this calamity..."

He shouted loudly!

In an instant.

Beneath the realm of gods, above the myriad star fields.

Suddenly, a pair of enormous eyes, like two blazing suns, swept across the realm!

Those eyes were searching for the source of that World-Ending aura!

In the endless galaxies, star wheels, and eternal realms, a pair of eyeballs appeared in each of these small worlds.

A gigantic eyeball, Shine Upon All Heavens and manifesting in all realms!

"Was that... a gaze from the realm of the gods?"

"Shine Upon All Heavens, manifesting in all realms... This is... this is an unparalleled figure from the Thirty-Three Heavens!"

"Excellent! With the divine realm's attention, all calamities can be averted!"

All living beings in the world were thrilled.

The corner of the star field where the Great Ruins Star Wheel is located.

An unparalleled deity, upon seeing the manifested eyeball, suddenly knelt down and prostrated himself in a grand gesture of respect!

"Is it him? Shine Upon All Heavens and manifesting in all worlds, he will surely suppress everything!"

The deity was extremely excited.

The Great Fortune Star Realm.

The sun's brilliance had been completely obscured; in the sky, two eyeballs, like two enormous stars, surveyed the entire world...

And at this moment.

Ten Thousand Mountains, White Sand Secret Realm.

A vast gray fog continued to spread, seemingly threatening to engulf this realm.

Spirit of Strangeness, identical to Lu Zhaizhai, emerged step by step, representing death and nothingness.

The Spirit of Strangeness raised its eyes and glanced indifferently at the two enormous eyeballs in the sky.

In an instant.

Those eyes, as dazzling as stars, seemed unable to withstand such a gaze!

"Boom!"

Those eyeballs were formed from the laws of the Dao, and at this moment they dissolved directly, like fireworks of the Great Dao.

This was just the beginning; this explosion permeated the entire universe.

Boom boom boom boom--

From the astral plane to the star wheel, from the star wheel to the galaxy...

Those eyeballs that commanded the reverence of countless star realms and caused millions of star fields to tremble, those pupils that Shine Upon All Heavens... all exploded at this moment!

In the endless divine realm, within the Heavenly Palace.

A colossal figure, terrifying beyond words, suddenly let out a muffled groan.

His terrifying eyes suddenly closed, and he felt a sharp pain in them!

"No..."

"It can actually destroy my eyes that Shine Upon All Heavens?!"

He frowned deeply; the calamities in the lower realm were beyond his imagination!

"The Calamity Mist that has appeared this time is beyond imagination!"

He murmured to himself, when suddenly a divine light shone in his eyes, his aura seemingly capable of piercing through the divine realm.

"The stronger the Calamity Mist, the more likely it is that what I'm looking for will appear... Could the World Honored One and the Ancestral spirit medicine recorded in the Top Secret Codex really be in the Forty-Ninth Star Domain?"

"It seems that setting up the Heavenly Machine Grand Array in that region was the right decision!"

He muttered to himself, a glint of greed and fanaticism in his eyes:

"As long as I can find the burial sites of those World Honored One... I will rule the mortal Yang Realm!!"
