Chapter 120: 6th - 120
Although the old man had only been at the 3rd level of void traversing, he was able to do that much damage to someone at space shattering!
Luckily, only the old man could use that move. It was something born from an unnatural and insane comprehension. Even Zhou Fan had no confidence in doing what he had seen the old man do. In fact, it was likely that no one else in the universe would ever be able to do what he had just done.
As the rulers watched the grim reaper roll around on the ground, they started to attack. Each of them used their strongest attacks possible with what little Qi they had left, but the grim reaper didn't even have to look up as he sent the attacks flying back at them.
The rulers hastily dodged and decided to simply watch what was happening, although they couldn't understand it.
Zhou Fan, however, was able to tell. Part of the grim reaper's very existence had been erased. He was going through a pain ten times worse than any other pain that had ever been experienced in the universe.
After twenty minutes, the grim reaper started to regain his wits and try to heal himself. After another 20 minutes, the grim reaper stood up with anger visible on his skull. Although he had no skin or organs, everyone swore they could see him sweating.
Just as he was about to use every bit of his remaining power to inflict damage, an ice blue pillar of Qi shot up from the tallest tower in the central city.
The grim reaper looked up at it, and decided to retreat. After the damage he had taken and the Qi it took to heal himself, the grim reaper only had 5% of his Qi left.
Although it would be enough to deal with the first three rulers, Anna would be too much now that she had broken through. The grim reaper broke a hole in space and retreated at full speed, but a sword shot out from the tower towards his location as he was entering the hole.
The grim reaper dodged it and got sucked into the hole, taking him who knows where instantly. Anna flew out from the tower and stood in the air looking at the healing space hole. She knew she may not be able to survive if she went in and she may not catch up even if she did.
The space hole healed up and the grim reaper officially escaped. Anna looked around and saw the damage to the area, along with the injured rulers.
"That was dangerous. We must not let ourselves fall behind the grim reaper or we will all die." She said simply.
If she hadn't coincidently broken through, the grim reaper would have been able to sweep through the rulers despite the damage done to him. The situation was something they could never allow to happen again.
If not for the old man who had comprehended a way to sacrifice his life, the entire world may have died this day.
In the next few days, a funeral was held in honor of the old man. Every ruler attended while most of the world showed up. Afterwards, a giant statue was built in the place his tower once stood.
On it was a gold plaque that said : In honor of the man that saved the world.
Zhou Fan decided to hold back the grim reapers' progress a bit from then on. Otherwise, he would win the next time he showed up.
Now that he was done with the grim reaper for now, Zhou Fan chose to go back into seclusion. He wanted to break through as fast as he could so that the solar system could be in harmony.
Zhou Fan teleported to the floating palace and took one last look at the current world before he went into seclusion.
The mermaids had stayed in the deep ocean cave since he had first given them intelligence. They had made very little advancements in technology or cultivation.
The strongest had only just reached nascent soul. Without a leader, they were doomed to fail.
None of the opportunities had been taken. In fact, not a single one had even come close to being taken.
The ten planets that Zhou Fan had connected to his mortal dao were still growing and would soon reach incredible sizes.
Overall, the entire Zhou World was steady and peaceful. Zhou Fan closed his eyes and started cultivating.
-----------------
13,000 years later, Zhou Fan broke into the 6th level of the lesser dao creation realm. As per usual, his strength had increased greatly.
Without even taking a moment to check out the Zhou World, Zhou Fan teleported out into space. The ten planets had finished growing in the time since he entered seclusion.
The biggest of them had reached half the size of the Zhou World while the smallest was one twentieth the size of the Zhou World.
Although it was only a twentieth, the planet was bigger than the sun it flew around.
With his breakthrough, Zhou Fan could sense the planets, including the Zhou World, were about to start growing again.
Before then, Zhou Fan chose to try his earlier idea. He would attempt to connect his mortal dao to the sun.
Zhou Fan flew into it and traveled towards the center. Although he had no idea if it would be the same as a planet, he figured that there was only one way to find out.
Since he was taking in the sight and flying slowly, it took Zhou Fan twenty minutes to reach the center of the sun. Like almost the entire sun, it was in a gaseous state.
However, Zhou Fan could feel the vitality it was giving off. Only now did Zhou Fan understand just how much life stars had. If he were to reach his hand into the very center of the sun, a sphere no bigger than a foot in diameter, he may experience heavy burns.
Without a doubt, he had reached the sun's core.
