Chapter 134: Space Shattering - 134
In Jack's mind, a man was standing on the edge of a city wall. He was looking in front of him at tens of thousands of troops running towards him. Despite the immense number of enemies, the man seemed confident and calm.
Jack could tell that the man was at the same level as him. All of a sudden, the man lifted his right arm and pointed it at the sky. Jack looked at the area he was pointing, only to see many streaks of light Qi form in the air.
"Rain of judgment." The man on the wall said, before the streaks of light Qi formed into thousands of swords that rained upon the battlefield.
In an instant, the army was defeated. Although the move looked simple, it contained many intricacies that Jack was unable to comprehend. Luckily, the video restarted and Jack watched it again.
He continued to watch it ten times, then a hundred, then a thousand. Finally, after 3 days had passed, Jack opened his eyes. He had managed to comprehend the martial art that the old man showed him.
"Thank you sir." Jack said as he stood up. The move that the old man had taught him was by far the greatest martial art Jack had seen. After all, most of the martial arts he had seen before were weak techniques that someone had clearly thrown together.
In fact, even if they had been strong techniques, the one Zhou Fan created was much stronger.
"Alright, It's time for you to leave." The old man said to Jack. He then raised his hand and waved it, causing Jack to appear at the bottom of the stairs that lead to the floating palace.
With more confidence than before, Jack bowed at the floating palace and walked back towards the village.
Meanwhile, Zhou Fan had removed the disguise and sat there sweating. Since Jack had taken three days to comprehend the move, Zhou Fan had been forced to remove the separate space and return to the floating palace room.
He made sure that Jack stayed focused on the illusion and remade the separate space as soon as he comprehended the move.
Since he had to do it in a hurry, Zhou Fan had used a lot more Qi than before, causing the sweat. Luckily, he was finished with Jack for now.
He would now wait for Anna to break through before he went into seclusion again. Next time he came out, there would be many surprises waiting for him.
After he broke through again, he would only have two more breakthroughs before he reached a brand new realm. Even he was excited when thinking of it.
As of now, he didn't have a clue as to what the next realm would hold. Perhaps he would have a clue once he broke into the 10th level of the lesser dao creation realm. Until then, he could only guess.
For the next couple years, Zhou Fan sat around in the floating palace and experimented with the separate space concept.
After twenty years had passed, Zhou Fan sensed a disturbance in the world's Qi. It seemed as if it was being sucked in a certain direction.
Although he was able to tell what was happening without even looking, he was surprised it was happening so fast.
Zhou Fan looked out of the floating palace in the direction of the celestial lands' central city, or more specifically, Anna's tower within central city.
Inside it, Anna was in the process of breaking through to the space shattering realm. From the strained look on her face, Zhou Fan was able to tell that she was using all of her effort.
After ten minutes passed, the suction force seemed to slow and the world's Qi seemed to calm down.
All of a sudden, power started to pour out of anna. Although it wasn't as big as Zhou Fan's breakthrough to space shattering, she was still shattering the space within the tower, and even a little bit on the outside.
Shock and panic covered the city for a moment, but the cracks quickly repaired themselves and everyone was left wondering what had happened. Luckily, the walls had been made to withstand such attacks, although they were on the verge of crumbling.
If the rulers were on the planet, they would have arrived at the tower, but they were busy with the other races.
Zhou Fan continued to look inside the tower as Anna opened her eyes and stood up. She smiled to herself before clenching her fists in order to see her strength. As her fists clenched, the space near them broke.
However, it didn't break as much as it could have. There were multiple reasons why Anna couldn't break space on a large scale after breaking through. The biggest one was that the space within the Zhou world and all the other worlds had been strengthened as they grew.
Otherwise, the space would have shattered within the entire room just from her fists clenching. Looking at the destruction around her, Anna looked annoyed and quickly cleaned it up. She also quickly repaired the walls with some of the materials she had stored.
Due to an array that automatically healed the walls, all Anna had to do was put the materials in the correct place and they quickly fixed themselves up.
After cleaning up, Anna decided that she wouldn't cultivate on the Zhou world anymore. Like Zhou Fan had realized a long time ago, she had realized that it was very dangerous to break through near things.
Zhou Fan estimated that she would start cultivating in the great hall since it was one of the only places in the galaxy that could resist her space shattering power.
Zhou Fan stopped paying attention to Anna once she started to leave her tower and went back to the floating palace. He would once again enter seclusion and breakthrough.
He decided that after he did that, he would bring the grim reaper out and let Anna fight him again.
Chapter 135: Return - 135
Within the floating palace, Zhou Fan sat with his legs crossed. He was preparing himself for seclusion. Once he finished breaking through, he would be two steps away from an entirely new realm.
Zhou Fan calmed his breath and cleared his mind before he started to cultivate.
--------------------
20,000 years later, Zhou Fan opened his eyes. He had reached the 9th level of the lesser Dao creation realm.
Although the difference in strength was immense, it hardly mattered to Zhou Fan. There wasn't anything that he needed more physical strength to do.
The best part about breaking through would be the increase in Qi. Even so, it too didn't matter much.
Since so much time had passed, Zhou Fan was ready to take a look outside. He hadn't expected to take 20,000 years to break through, so Jack's cultivation would have likely gone past the 3rd level of void traversing.
Zhou Fan appeared above the floating palace and scanned the entire Zhou World with his divine sense. Surprisingly, neither Jack nor Anna was on the planet.
Once noticeable thing, however, was that the mermaid race was no longer living at the bottom of the ocean. In the center of the ocean, at the farthest place from land on the Zhou World, there was an entire oasis of buildings and mermaids.
The population exceeded a million and the buildings were uncountable. Overall, the city took up ten thousand square miles of land, with even the ground having multiple caves for mermaids to live in.
Although there were no city gates, there was a giant floating sign that said: The City of Atlantis. It was inlaid with many powerful gems and ores. Some had even reached the tenth level of void traversing.
Such a luxury was hard to find within even the richest areas of the Zhou World.
After looking over the rest of the Zhou World and seeing that, although there were some changes, nothing much had truly changed, Zhou Fan expanded his divine sense to cover the rest of the Zhou Solar system. Only then did he find Anna, Jack, and the other rulers.
Anna was still at the 1st level of space shattering, but the dragon king was too. Both the monkey king and the titanosaur were at the 9th level of void traversing.
Finally, Jack had reached the 4th level of void traversing. As expected, his speed was still incredibly fast.
While the rulers were currently dealing with other races, Jack was on one of the water planets that Zhou Fan had made.
After watching him for a bit, it seemed that Jack hadn't revealed himself to the Zhou Solar System. It was likely that he had spent the last 20,000 years quietly cultivating.
Now, he was much more mature and less flashy. He walked around one of the underwater cities wearing a dark cloak and the trident was underneath it.
Although he gained some attention by walking instead of swimming, it was a somewhat common thing for high level cultivators to walk on the water planet.
Therefore, people minded their business and avoided him. After so many years, Jack's appearance had changed considerably.
He was still devoid of facial hair and his hair was now short and brown. He was 6 foot and 5 inches tall, muscular, and overall seemed like a king.
Although appearance was easy to change for a cultivator at Jack's level, Zhou Fan was able to tell that it was his natural appearance. Of course, all beings looked good once they started cultivating, but it was still good that Jack looked more kingly than handsome.
Zhou Fan watched as Jack entered an inn and headed to his room. He then laid down and slept. Zhou Fan didn't look at him for any longer and turned his attention to anna.
Right now, she was in a meeting with a couple of other races on one of the bigger planets, Zhou Fan had terraformed. It was soon to get bigger once it started expanding, but everyone had long been used to the planets expanding seemingly without reason.
Zhou Fan eavesdropped on their conversation and heard nothing but boring political things. He listened in on the other rulers' conversations and discovered that they were talking about the same things.
After he had checked up on everything, Zhou Fan summoned the grim reaper. He thought of how to introduce him, and quickly got an idea. In one of the gaps between planet and sun in the Zhou Solar system, a giant blue portal appeared.
It sat there for a minute, but not a single person had noticed it. All of a sudden, a ship that appeared to be made of bones sailed out from it. It resembled a pirate ship without the masts or the flags.
Although it seemed somewhat small from a distance, the ship was 10 miles long, and each foot was packed with skeletons.
Some skeletons were carrying weapons, some wore cloaks, and some were weaponless and cloakless.
However, one skeleton that stood at the front of the ship, not surrounded by any other skeleton, stood out. Obviously, it was the grim reaper, wearing a cloak and carrying a scythe.
Now, it had reached the second level of space shattering. Although the difference in strength between each small breakthrough increased as the realm got higher, the Grim Reaper at the second level of space shattering was much easier to defeat with two level one space shattering experts than a 1st level space shattering grim reaper and bunch of void traversing cultivators.
Even so, it wouldn't be an easy battle. It was also a battle that Jack would be unable to participate in with his current strength.
Although the ship had gone unnoticed at first, it was eventually noticed by a nearby planet's void traversing cultivator and reported through the use of communication talismans.
Word quickly spread that the grim reaper had returned, and he had come with an army. His destination was undoubtedly the Zhou World.
As soon as the news was reported, the rulers flew towards the Zhou World at top speed.
