# Chapter 2962: The Dao Tree Flashes Nine Times! End of an Era?
A trace of helplessness flashed in Jiangnan's eyes!
So that was it, huh?
He was still bound by the truth of conservation, even though Jiangnan's life level was very high and he could enter and exit the Life Forbidden Zone!
The energy used within his body had also transformed into Realm Source Energy, but Jiangnan still had Realm Force belonging to the Wanzu Xingkong World within him!
And quite a lot of it!
After all, Jiangnan was born in the Wanzu Xingkong World, and this Realm Force was Jiangnan's identity marker!
Even though Jiangnan had become this powerful, he still couldn't transcend the original Xingkong World!
And to reach this step, only Cosmos Realm experts could do it!
They had already created their own worlds, not relying on the Xingkong World for existence, so naturally they weren't restricted by Realm Force anymore!
Jiangnan wasn't that powerful yet!
But this also verified Jiangnan's conjecture, which was that Cosmos Realm experts probably really could ignore the truth of energy conservation and travel between various realms!
Jiangnan grinned:
(￢﹏￢٥) "Hopefully there are no Cosmos Realm guys in this starry sky, otherwise things wouldn't look too good..."
Jiangnan reached out and grabbed, forming a Two-Dimensional Fragment. Space was expanded into two dimensions, and Jiangnan slammed into it, then immediately backed out!
Then he restored the space!
"Two dimensions works~ A bit more resistance than in three-dimensional space. What about four dimensions?"
As he spoke, Jiangnan took a step forward and charged into the Four-Dimensional Time Gap, also moving smoothly!
Of course, Jiangnan didn't dare absorb any energy the whole time!
After a series of experiments, Jiangnan reached out and tore at space!
With a fierce tear, space simply scattered to both sides, collapsing from the tear, without any pitch-black spatial cracks appearing!
Jiangnan's eyes went wide:
(•́口•̀٥) "Whoa? There's no Dimensional Gap in the Celestial Palace Xingkong World?"
This really stunned Jiangnan. Was it that the Celestial Palace Xingkong World simply didn't have one, or was the Dimensional Gap originally not something a world was supposed to have?
Normally, having so many dimensions in a Xingkong World — zero, one, two, three, four dimensions — was all normal!
But the Wanzu Xingkong World uniquely had a 3.5-dimensional Dimensional Gap?
Why was there a 3.5?
He remembered that the previous Chuangjie Daxu didn't have one either!
Jiangnan's expression turned strange. Could it be that when the Wanzu Xingkong World singularity exploded, it accidentally popped out an extra dimensional gap?
Was Good Big Pan's existence actually an accidental byproduct?
So that meant... the Xingkong World would still be okay without the 3.5 dimension?
Thinking about this, Jiangnan's eyes lit up, and a crazy idea was born!
But it wasn't very mature yet; everything still needed verification!
Jiangnan didn't stay cooped up on the Immortal Boat Star anymore. Since there was repulsive force!
He might as well see how far his limit range was, and also determine exactly how large an area was affected by the Immortal Boat Star!
Jiangnan casually chose a direction and blasted straight out of the Demon Pupil Galaxy!
As Jiangnan got further and further from the Immortal Boat Star, the repulsive force acting on him grew stronger and stronger!
But it was still within Jiangnan's acceptable range!
And Jiangnan kept charging all the way to the boundary of the Demon Pupil Galaxy!
At this moment, the repulsive force acting on Jiangnan had reached an extremely terrifying level!
It felt as if the pressure of the entire Xingkong World was bearing down on Jiangnan, trying to crush him, to completely erase him!
The surrounding space was frantically squeezing Jiangnan, and the space around him was even collapsing because of his forced intrusion!
Emitting rumbling sounds!
And at this point, it was actually the limit of Jiangnan in his normal state!
No matter how strong Jiangnan was now, he couldn't contend with an entire Xingkong World with just his own strength!
But Jiangnan still had many tricks up his sleeve. Since he'd just arrived, he needed to figure out all the various restrictions to better plan how to spend these three hundred-plus years!
"Crushing me? Not enough! This isn't my limit distance!"
At this moment, Jiangnan suddenly activated his Eternal Glazed Body, and the pressure that had been squeezing Jiangnan motionless suddenly relaxed!
Jiangnan once again forcefully pushed against the repulsive force, charging out of the Demon Pupil Galaxy!
The repulsive force exerted by the Celestial Palace Xingkong World on Jiangnan increased dramatically again, but this still couldn't stop Jiangnan from penetrating deeper into the starry sky!
Jiangnan felt this was nothing much — just running an experiment, testing the bottom line, right?
Little did he know what kind of uproar this move would cause!
It was truly a stone stirring up a thousand waves!
...
At the center of the Celestial Palace Xingkong World!
There was an incredibly massive supergiant cosmic structure!
It was a vast cosmic web formed by countless stars, filled with dense, gorgeous stardust!
And these cosmic web structures condensed into a super-giant tree that propped up the entire Celestial Palace Xingkong World!
The roots pierced the void, the trunk was as thick as a coiled dragon, and the crown was incredibly dense!
Broad Milky Way formed the branches of the tree, and on the crown, super-large galaxies hung like累累硕果!
Its name was the Avenue World Tree!
This tree was so huge, so massive that it touched the terrifying extent of the starry sky's end from top to bottom!
In the Wanzu Xingkong World, there were naturally formed giant cosmic structures!
For example, the Beimian Martial Arts Zodiac Great Wall!
But even if you brought that Great Wall over to compare, it was much, much smaller than the Avenue World Tree!
And the crown of this Avenue World Tree was where the Six Domain Celestial Capital was located!
This Six Domain Celestial Capital was the center of civilization in the Celestial Palace Xingkong World, gathering all the brilliance!
The crown was clearly divided into six areas, like a sliced pizza!
And these six sectors radiated outward from the Avenue World Tree as the center, spreading across the entire Celestial Palace Xingkong World!
But the usually peaceful Six Domain Celestial Capital was now in complete chaos!
Alarms rang incessantly, war horns blared wildly!
If you looked from far away, you could see that the entire Avenue World Tree was emitting a brilliant celestial light!
Flashing on and off!
These lights surging from the Avenue World Tree all penetrated deep into the void!
The entire giant tree seemed to have awakened from slumber!
On the other side, outside the Demon Pupil Star Domain, Jiangnan was like a stubborn donkey, his Eternal Glazed Body activated, stubbornly pushing outward!
(｡･ˇ益ˇ･) "Oh, come on? You're still at it? Let's see how far you can push me! I'm going! I'm going!"
Jiangnan kept pushing like crazy, while the Avenue World Tree flashed even faster, as if the entire starry sky world was flickering along with it!
At this moment, in the Six Domain Celestial Capital, on countless stars, innumerable cultivators rushed out, staring in shock at the flashing Avenue World Tree!
(The following are all Avenue Celestial Language, a different language from the Wanzu Xingkong World's Thousand Stars Language!)
A commotion of chaotic discussions arose!
Σ(°△°|||) "Hiss~ What's going on? Why has the Avenue World Tree awakened? This old man has cultivated his whole life and never seen such a sight!"
Σ(っ°口°;)っ "Junior Sister! Junior Sister! Look quick! The Avenue World Tree is flashing! Such a strange phenomenon — could it be a heavenly omen? Has a world-shaking celestial treasure been born?"
=͟͟͞͞(꒪益꒪‧̣̥̇) "It's not just one area — the entire Avenue World Tree is flashing! Do you know how big this tree is? This is the foundation of the starry sky world! This old Great Dark Demon Lord hasn't stepped out of the crown area in his entire life! What is happening!"
"The Avenue World Tree hasn't shown this phenomenon in the entire Great Derivative Era. Ancient records say that only at the beginning of this era did the Avenue World Tree emit a faint light, blessing the starry sky! This... why is it flashing? In this old man's view, this might be an ominous omen!"
The Six Domain Celestial Capital was already thoroughly stirred up because of the Avenue World Tree's strange phenomenon!
Because they all knew how important the Avenue World Tree was to the starry sky world!
And at this moment, at the Celestial Gate of the Avenue Sword Sect in the Celestial Domain of the Six Domain Celestial Capital, stood an old man!
His entire body was composed of energy, energy that was black and white interwoven, flowing like an ink painting, his form extremely ethereal as if it could dissipate at any moment, yet it truly existed!
And within his body, faint sword light burst forth, making it hard for people to look directly at his figure!
This old man stared in shock at the Avenue World Tree!
Silently counting the number of times the World Tree flashed!
(‧̣̥̇꒪益꒪‧̣̥̇) "One, two, three..."
The more he counted, the paler his face became!
(‧̣̥̇꒪口꒪‧̣̥̇) "Seven, eight, nine... Hiss~"
"Dao Tree flashes nine times, end of an era! This... this, this, this! The Great Derivative Era has only developed for over a billion years, and it's about to end?"
"How could there be no warning at all? How could this be!"
Σ(ଵ口ଵ|||) "Guh~ It... it flashed ten times?"
The old man was completely shocked, but the worst was yet to come!
Under his horrified gaze, the Avenue World Tree kept flashing over a thousand times, and it was still flashing, and the flashing grew more and more intense!
Li Daoyan was going crazy!
Flashing nine times was already a calamity enough to end an era, and this flashed over a thousand times?
This was an extinction-level disaster!
The old man transformed into a beam of sword light, heading straight for the center of the Six Domain Celestial Capital!
"Pass on my, Li Daoyan's, oral decree! Order the six great Dao Sects of Celestial, Divine, Demon, Monster, Spirit, and Technique — all sect masters, elders, and high-ranking members — to immediately convene at the Great Derivative Dao Field to hold a Great Derivative Dao Conference and discuss this matter together!"
"This matter cannot be handled by any single sect alone! Come quickly!"
This news shook the entire Six Domain Celestial Capital. Wasn't the Great Derivative Dao Field closed for so long? All six great Dao Sects gathering? Just how big of a deal was this?
Meanwhile, outside the Demon Pupil Galaxy, Jiangnan, still pushing outward, was exhausted!
This starry sky world's will had quite a bit of force, huh?
If he kept pushing like this, he probably wouldn't be able to go much further inside!
So Jiangnan thought about cheating — seeing if activating the Black Hole Celestial Emperor could ignore this rejection!
Because when he activated the Black Hole Celestial Emperor, strictly speaking, Jiangnan was in the gap between the Life Forbidden Zone and the reality of this starry sky!
The repulsive force shouldn't be able to affect him, right?
And the space and matter devoured by the Black Hole Celestial Emperor would all return to the Five-Dimensional Realm Source Forbidden Sea, so it didn't count as material exchange!
This was a bug that Jiangnan was planning to try and exploit!
Just then, above the Demon Pupil Galaxy, an incredibly massive Starry Sky Eye suddenly opened!
This was much bigger than the Demon Pupil Galaxy!
And the Starry Sky Eye frantically searched, its gaze finally locking onto Jiangnan!
Two Watchers suddenly appeared, their big eyes fixedly staring at Jiangnan!
Jiangnan's eyes went wide as he pointed at the two!
(͡°ꇴ͡°)☛ "Ha! I knew it! You two aren't just eating melons in one Xingkong World. I didn't expect to meet old acquaintances even in the Celestial Palace Xingkong World!"
"Warm! Too warm! Hey~ I just happen to have something I want to tell you two!"
But before Jiangnan could finish, the two Watchers directly acted, one on each side grabbing Jiangnan's arms!
The Watchers, who had always been untouchable, could actually be touched this time!
They grabbed Jiangnan and forcibly dragged him back to the Demon Pupil Galaxy!
Jiangnan: ???
(٥ﾟ口ﾟ)ﾂ "Hey hey hey? What are you two doing? I finally managed to get that far, and I haven't finished my experiment yet! Why are you dragging me back?"
Just as Jiangnan was dragged back into the Demon Pupil Galaxy by the two Watchers!
The Avenue World Tree finally stopped flashing...
Li Daoyan's eyes were filled with intense fear:
Σ(°△°|||) "The Avenue World Tree flashed a total of 12,472 times! Extinction! An extinction-level calamity!"
