When I woke up, I wanted to go home.

Chapter 355 Collapse of the World Core

Three days later, Xiao Jin stood in front of everyone, struggling to clear a path with the Chaos Gold Essence in his hand. His voice was full of exhaustion and helplessness: "Ninth Brother, everyone is about to give up."

Originally, Xiao Jin and Xiao Lei were clearing the way for everyone to break through the laws of the Nine Heavens Immortal Venerable, but just half a day ago, Zhu Chongjiu forcibly pulled Xiao Hei behind him.

Now only Xiao Jin is left struggling to keep going.

Xiao Lei's physical condition had reached its limit. He was like a piece of porcelain about to shatter, his whole body covered with terrifying cracks, as if he would break at any moment.

Left with no other choice, Zhu Chongjiu could only place Xiao Lei behind him and do his best to protect him.

Xiao Lei and the others were all spirits of law, so despite the numerous cracks covering their bodies, not a single drop of blood flowed out.

However, this does not mean that their suffering will be reduced.

Xiao Jin's situation is equally worrying. Although his law-based characteristics allow him to withstand more pressure than Xiao Lei, he has also reached his limit.

"At the current speed, it will probably take another three months to reach the boundary of the Proterozoic Era!"

However, only three days have passed..." Zhu Chongjiu pondered to himself, a sense of anxiety and helplessness welling up in his heart.

He turned his head and looked at the group of little ones struggling to hold on behind him.

These little guys, despite being exhausted, gritted their teeth and stubbornly followed the group forward.

Zhu Chongjiu knew very well that even with Xiao Jin wielding the Chaos Divine Artifact to clear a path ahead, the aftershocks of those attacks would still be an unbearable pressure for these little guys.

Could this be the real difference between an Emperor-level expert and a Venerable-level expert?

Under normal circumstances, Zhu Chongjiu believed that such a short distance would allow them to easily reach the edge of the universe in less than a day.

But now?

Apart from himself, everyone else had given their all and persevered for three whole days, but they had only completed one-thirtieth of the journey.

Thinking of this, Zhu Chongjiu couldn't help but sigh deeply: "Alas..."

He knew in his heart that if things continued like this, they probably could only hold on for another day or two at most.

After all, what are a day or two compared to those long three months?

"Fine, let's let the brothers suffer less."

After saying that, Zhu Chongjiu slowly stretched out his right hand and took out the innate supreme treasure weapon "Great Sword" from his storage ring.

The sword gleamed with a cold light, its blade as clear as autumn water, and its simple, unadorned surface exuded a chilling aura.

Zhu Chongjiu gazed at the great sword in his hand, recalling the bits and pieces of his acquaintance with it.

He said with emotion, "When I was first born into this world, the first people I met were you and Xiao Huo, and then Xiong Da."

At that time, I was still an ignorant outsider, full of curiosity and fear about the world.

And you, Great Sword, are like my most loyal companion, always by my side, my strongest support.

I know that as long as I hold you in my hands, I am invincible.

It was you who gave me endless courage during that time.

Zhu Chongjiu continued, "In my growth process, I have experienced countless trials and tribulations."

But no matter how great the difficulties we encountered, you never left me and always steadfastly protected me.

I know you have a spirit. You are not just a weapon, but my brother, a part of my life.

However, Zhu Chongjiu's voice gradually lowered, and a trace of guilt flashed in his eyes: "But, the brother I might let down first is you."

Just then, the great sword suddenly hummed, as if responding to Zhu Chongjiu's words.

The voice was low and sorrowful, as if it were expressing its understanding and reluctance to part.

Zhu Chongjiu's heart tightened; he could feel the pain and determination in the great sword.

"All things arise!" "All paths perish!"

The two roars were like thunderclaps, exploding in the void, deafeningly loud.

The moment the Great Dao's resounding voice, "All things arise," rang out, it was as if time itself had stopped flowing.

Everyone's shattered bodies were healing at an astonishing speed, as if by magic.

In the blink of an eye, his shattered body was restored to its original state, as if he had never been injured.

As for Xiao Jin, who was clearing the way ahead, the moment Zhu Chongjiu unleashed his first technique, "The Birth of All Techniques," he was as if sucked away by an invisible force and instantly pulled behind Zhu Chongjiu.

Just then, a vibrant and energetic force suddenly appeared without warning in the Daoist realm of the Nine Heavens Immortal Venerable.

This force seems to be the source of the revival of all things; wherever it passes, everything is full of vitality.

However, this force clashed violently with the Daoist world of the Nine Heavens Immortal Venerable.

The forces of destruction and creation intertwine, sparking a breathtaking friction and collision at the edge of the two worlds.

A series of deafening booms echoed, and the void seemed to be torn apart, constantly shattering and trembling.

Surprisingly, these shattered voids did not disappear. Instead, under the influence of the power that revived and regenerated all things, they quickly returned to their original state, as if nothing had ever happened.

Zhu Chongjiu held a great sword, his aura soaring like a rainbow. His roar, like thunder, resounded throughout the heavens and earth: "One sword cleaves the heavens, 'Destroy all paths!'"

With this roar, the world of laws in front of Zhu Chongjiu instantly collapsed and was destroyed.

That once incomparably powerful world of Daoist magic crumbled and vanished in an instant.

Zhu Chongjiu's figure streaked across the sky like a shooting star.

He carried the second law that destroyed all paths, and dragged the first law that revived all things. Under the laws of the Nine Heavens Immortal Venerable, he forcibly carved out a path forward, and then moved forward at lightning speed.

At this very moment, the Dao techniques of the most powerful beings in the Primordial Universe are engaged in a breathtaking final battle with the Dao techniques of the alien beings in the Primordial Universe.

However, this can no longer be called a contest.

The key to this duel lies in whether Zhu Chongjiu, with his myriad laws of cultivation and Emperor-level strength, can endure within the world of laws of the Nine Heavens Immortal Venerable.

Time passed second by second, and as Zhu Chongjiu traveled at breakneck speed, he constantly clashed violently with the laws of the Nine Heavens Immortal Venerable's world.

Each collision was like an earthquake, producing a deafening roar.

One day, two days, five days...

Zhu Chongjiu's body trembled constantly from the immense exertion, but his eyes remained steadfast.

"Almost there! Just three more days and we'll reach the finish line!" Zhu Chongjiu said to himself.

At the same time, within his realm core, the world that was originally like a magnificent and colorful painting has now become a desolate wasteland, with everything withered, and endless yellow sand filling the sky.

Worse still, as his strength continued to grow, the boundaries of his inner world were also constantly expanding outwards.

However, the boundary of Jiedan is now collapsing at an alarming rate, like a flood breaking through a dam, towards the world that has already been formed.

The few little ones who were in sync with Zhu Chongjiu all sensed the abnormal situation within Zhu Chongjiu's World Core at this moment.

Xiao Jin cried out anxiously, "Ninth Brother, the power within your World Core is almost exhausted!"

"You're currently using the Destruction Realm Pill to gain power; if you continue like this, your cultivation will likely be destroyed!"

Xiong Da quickly chimed in, "Ninth Brother, I can still hold on! Please let me out, I can hold them off for you a little longer!"

Xiao Mu, standing to the side, had red eyes and said anxiously, "Ninth Brother, I can still do it!"

Don't you know me?

In terms of vitality, who among us can compare to me!

Ninth Brother, please let me out!

"Ninth Brother, Ninth Brother...!"

"Stop arguing. Even if Ninth Brother's World Pill is destroyed and he becomes a cripple, so what... are you going to stop taking care of me?"

If that's the case, then I can eat and drink whatever I want from now on, and I won't have to worry about anything."

Seeing the little ones with red, tear-filled eyes, loudly proclaiming that they would carry the load for him, Zhu Chongjiu smiled knowingly.

Along the way, with these little guys by his side, even though they are spirits and beasts, Zhu Chongjiu felt that they were his children and family in this strange world.

Now, these children have all grown up. When danger comes, they know and want to share some of the burden with their parents, and that is enough for them.
