Chapter 182 - The World Is The Enemy, Yet The World Is Not The Enemy (1/2)
“What is this place?”
Zhou Xuanji was confused. He looked fixedly at the Great Emperor who was laughing wildly beneath him. Thoughts flashed in his mind.
Could this be the memory of the former possessor of the Tianxia Map?
The five-clawed, gold dragon roared into the vast sky as the Great Emperor slowly got up.
He lifted his right hand, and a scroll flew out from his palm. The scroll was laid open and images were projected out from the scroll. A beautiful and majestic view of nature appeared above the Great Emperor.
He looked down at the hundreds of millions of worshippers and laughed, “This is the Tianxia Map. The possessor possesses the whole world.”
“Come, let me give you eternal life!”
Right after he spoke, a rainbow-colored radiance beamed out from the images of nature above his head.
All the soldiers, who were kneeling on the wilderness, were lifted up and sucked swiftly toward the images of nature.
Once they were drawn near to the images, their bodies shrunk quickly to the size of rice grains and were absorbed into the Tianxia Map.
“Ahhhh— What is this?”
“Your Highness! Let us go, please!”
“Help!”
“Why are you doing this? We are your soldiers!”
“Damn! Zhizun, you will die a horrible death!”
Countless voices of cursing and crying could be heard. It was like hell.
Zhou Xuanji frowned. He despised this Great Emperor for doing such a thing to his soldiers.
Could it be that the evil spirit in the Tianxia Map was this Great Emperor?
At this moment, the heavens and earth swirled around again.
Next, Zhou Xuanji appeared under the thunder clouds. World-shattering waves from the vast ocean emerged from the mountain top.
The ocean was going to inundate the world!
On a mountain top, an old man dressed in a tattered, grey robe stood high above. He raised both arms high, and the Tianxia Map was levitating on his head.
He looked like he’d been through the vicissitudes of life. There were all sorts of black scars on his sinister visage.
“The Tianxia Map! I’ve finally obtained the Tianxia Map!”
“The world is mine!”
“Hahaha—”
He laughed so wildly that the thunder roared.
Zhou Xuanji shook his head. This guy is really crazy.
Is the Tianxia Map that awesome?
At this moment, Zhou Xuanji’s surroundings changed again.
Next, he saw numerous former possessors of Tianxia Map. Those Great Emperors and ancestors were all in a frenzied state. Some even committed massacres.
Other than the lunacy, he had another feeling.
The possessor of Tianxia Map possesses the world!
* This might not be a false statement!*
The possessor of the Tianxia Map really had the power to reign over the world.
The world was his enemy, yet the world was not his enemy!
He saw the world as his enemy, but no one in the world was powerful enough to be qualified as his enemy!
Zhou Xuanji had such insight but it was beyond words to describe.
However, even his aura was transformed because of this.
He understood what it meant to be unrivaled in the entire world.
Becoming the top cultivator was merely becoming the most powerful.
Becoming unrivaled in the world was to be the most powerful and the only one who was truly powerful!
Even if the entire world were to act against the unrivaled person in the world, they would be no match for him!
After a long while, he slowly opened his eyes. The sky was already dark, and the thunder clouds were billowing above his head.
Spiritual Qi gathered toward him and was pumped into his body.
“This is…”
He was stunned because he was still in the posture of cultivation.
It was not his intent to do this. Was it the Sword Spirit or the Tianxia Map?
Immediately, his expression changed.
His cultivation progress was sped up more than 10 times his usual rate.
He instinctively looked down at his right palm. The Tianxia Map could be faintly seen.
“How do I control it?”
