Chapter 1689: Chapter 30: Billionfold Unleashing (3/4)
The power An Jing poured into his own fist was, at first, indeed only at the True Realm Extreme, but by operating the “Infinite Heavy Tribulation” he learned from Xuan Mingyu, and borrowing force with the Taiyin Wuji skill, he could in an instant elevate his power into a rate of increase that language and symbols simply could not describe; aside from not being truly infinite, it was almost without any limit.
If it weren’t that he needed to restrain his power and focus on dealing with the Great Wilderness Holy Demon, this strongest reborn Holy Demon body beneath Harmonization, then with a single punch, even a billionth of the aftershock would be enough to easily shatter half of the remaining Sky Islands of the Great Wilderness Realm.
True Person? To be honest, even if Heavenly Venerates descended from the outside, it would be useless; realms are only used to bind those who follow rules step by step. For someone like him who opens the Dao, they’re just labels convenient for distinguishing the levels of those who come later. Once An Jing met his various friends and companions, and recalled some of the techniques of those years, he was already able to sweep across the entire Great Wilderness Realm.
Yet how powerful is the Great Wilderness Holy Demon—it is nearly at Harmonization, only a single step away from the Infinite, and after figuring out the source of An Jing’s power, it also mastered similar techniques.
One side is the extremity of skill pushed to the extreme, the other has an almost infinite majestic essence.
In an instant, they had already traded thousands of blows in this place that was once the Demon Abyss and now had become a blank land of Void.
Both sides were operating their Cave Heavens; fists, feet, blade and sword crossing not merely as physical collisions, but as the very essences of their expanded Cave Heavens mutually hunting and tearing at one another. The structure of time and space itself had become their limbs and bodies; the aftershocks of their clash were themselves a kind of power, fundamentally unable to diffuse, instantly converted and absorbed into power for their next strike. Because of this, the surrounding Desolate Alliance Fleet and some surviving fringe evil demons still had the chance to flee far away.
Even so, because the time-space of the Great Wilderness Realm was being repeatedly contested and torn by two mighty Cave Heavens, vibrating without rest, the intense temporal-spatial quakes it generated had already sealed off all Great Void Techniques.
The outer void.
The Heavenly Venerates of the Three Realms Alliance who were currently discussing methods of cooperation, and the outside Heavenly Venerates, were negotiating the pacts of cooperation and competition to come, while the Heavenly Demons lurking deep in the Great Void were also waiting for an opportunity.
But at this very moment, They all turned their heads in unison, looking toward the direction where the Great Wilderness Realm lay; they stood up in astonishment, eyes wide, even unconsciously retreating.
Because the world membrane of the Great Wilderness Realm, incomparably solid, enough to resist intrusion by Heavenly Venerates, was bulging outward from inside, as if some enormous power were struggling to break through it, suddenly heaving up into a towering protrusion.
Countless cracks crisscrossed and spread; fragments of the Heaven and Earth Membrane flew apart, turning into a vast silver Ring of Star Dust within the Great Void.
[What happened?!]
[It’s An Jing! And the Great Wilderness Holy Demon!]
The auras of An Jing and the Great Wilderness Holy Demon spread throughout the Great Void in an instant; as long as one was not a fool, one knew immediately that these two existences had begun a life-and-death battle within the Great Wilderness Realm.
—But why?
—Why can They unleash such immense power inside the Great Wilderness Realm!?
All plans and conditions for cooperation were obliterated in an instant; everyone knew that a true upheaval, something beyond all expectation, was about to occur.
Meanwhile, within the Great Wilderness Realm.
“Interesting, this Great Food Immortal Venerable actually learned the Divine Skills of both Embracing the Void and the Emperor of Change—perhaps the Great Immortal learned the Divine Skills of the Emperor of Change and then passed them on to his own disciple? Impressive. No wonder he could create a Great Realm like the Great Wilderness, almost comparable to Huai Xu Heaven.”
Even as their fists collided, An Jing was still analyzing that Cyan Profound Flame which had wounded him and was, at this moment, still burning at his neck.
In essence, this was a Flame Power of “reform and change,” which had a restraining effect upon the Taibai’s Gold of Concealment he now commanded. Although for an existence of his level, so-called restraint basically no longer existed, the strange thing was that the Cyan Profound Flame could also continuously transform its own nature, adapting to every method An Jing used to expel it.

But the Great Wilderness Holy Demon trading blows with An Jing was even more shocked.
[What is this level of strength? I merely failed to revive at the very first instant of his awakening, giving him less than a single day of growth, and yet he has grown from the state of just having awakened to this degree? If I really acted like that group of idiots and gave An Jing several days to grow, wouldn’t he directly ascend on the spot to Harmonization?!]
[No—that’s not right! He originally nearly became Harmonization; the Huai Xu Heavenly Dao was originally going to pour into his crown, and had even already infused more than half, it was only that he himself refused—he wants to walk out a new Dao on his own!]
—I merely devour the Heavenly Dao to become Harmonization; to him this has never been any advantage, indeed… I am the weaker side, the one who needs to catch up!
Once he understood this point, the Great Wilderness Holy Demon instead burst into laughter; it laughed, using the body that bore the appearance of Yuan Wo Immortal Venerable, laughing boldly: [Hahahahaha!]
This laughter itself carried power, shaking time and space, even piercing parallel time-spaces, causing multiple timelines to twist and ripple into bizarre curves. An Jing frowned inwardly, but still calmly built up storage power; taking advantage of this opening, he lashed out with another punch.
This time, the sword scars upon the arm of the Platinum Armor flared; Evil Suppressing Sword Energy surged forth, Invisible Sword Intent coiled around the Cave Heaven, five fingers were Five Elements, Five Emperors, Five Swords; to clench the fist was Five Directions Unification, Heavenly Punishment and Imperial Attack. One punch blasted out, directly smashing a hollow cavity through the Great Wilderness Holy Demon’s body.
And with this hollow as the center, cracks spread outward; fine fissures, sword scars and explosive Qi Force surged forth, from the most fundamental depths shattering the Great Wilderness Holy Demon’s body.
[Hahahahaha] Yet innumerable dust motes whirled as they recondensed, still laughing uproariously, delighted beyond measure: [I truly have gone mad, still thinking to borrow you to break through into Supreme True Demon, and even become one of the Evil Demon Hundred Kings—now it seems, the meaning of my existence is to annihilate you, obstruct your growth, sever your hope, and turn all of Primordial’s expectations and plans into “futility”!]
Within the Void, two arms recomposed first, one up, one down; the right hand pointed to heaven, the left to earth, forming the Only I am the Venerable Seal, then rotating counterclockwise, both palms right-up left-down, crossing opposite, virtually joined at the center of chest and abdomen.
Then, all the dust, together with fragments of the Cave Heaven, converged into a pitch-black point; even those two arms that had formed the seal turned to ash and smoke, merging into that gathered black light-point.
[Cave Heaven Expansion·Dark Blind Netherworld Nirvana]
A pitch-black tide of Silence fell from the heavens and, in an instant, swallowed An Jing’s figure.
Unlike the first Cave Heaven Expansion, which clashed and mutually offset, the Great Wilderness Holy Demon’s second Cave Heaven Expansion was even more swift, more resolute—and it was not only this world, not only this timeline’s Great Wilderness Holy Demon that expanded its Cave Heaven. In billions upon billions, countless parallel time-spaces, every Great Wilderness Holy Demon unfolded its own Cave Heaven, erupting into Daoist Patterns that were infinitely complex, like a kaleidoscope.
Endless dim rivers of Daoist Patterns instantly became infinite Dao waterfalls, pouring down from different timelines, enveloping An Jing.
