Chapter 1796: Master, I Have Returned!

Editor: Atlas Studios

The familiar voice reverberated over the capital of the human race, like a thunderclap from the annals of time, shaking all of humanity!

Instantly, an overwhelming wave of astonishment surged among the cultivators of the human race.

Ning Yan, standing atop the beacon tower, had been tense and oppressed, his heart steeped in pessimism under the shadow of the ancient calamity. The arrival of foreign cultivators had only deepened his unease.

But in that very moment, hearing those words from above, he jerked his head up, his expression shifting more dramatically than ever before. His face and eyes reflected unprecedented shock.

Staring dumbfounded at the figure emerging before the blurred silhouette in the sky, he blurted out in disbelief:

"Captain!"

In that instant, the entire capital erupted.

Countless cultivators stood frozen, their minds buzzing.

Anyone who recognized Erniu felt as though a bolt of lightning had struck their hearts. Disbelief drowned all other thoughts, and their expressions twisted into a myriad of shapes.

Compared to the earlier calamity and tension, Erniu’s appearance was far too abrupt.

It was nearly impossible to connect him to the twelve Great Emperors.

The two simply didn’t align!

Seeing this, Erniu, hovering mid-air, swelled with pride, his delight indescribable. This was exactly the moment he’d rushed out ahead for!

With a theatrical cough, he clasped his hands behind his back, preparing to speak again—

But then, Zhou Zhengli stepped forward, his expression solemn and reverent. He bowed deeply toward the sky, his voice ringing out with fervent devotion:

"Zhou Zhengli greets the Lord!"

He poured all his strength into those words, his eyes burning with fanaticism, like the most devout believer.

Li Mengtu swiftly followed, bowing just as deeply:

"Li Mengtu greets the Lord!"

Not to be outdone, Xie Lingzi suppressed his usual sinister aura, forcing himself to appear composed. Flames ignited in his eyes as he unleashed his full cultivation, causing the void around him to tremble.

"Xie Lingzi greets the Lord!"

Yuanshan Su bowed silently, her expression calm.

Finally, there was Star Ring. Though a trace of pride lingered in his heart, the journey with Xu Qing had forged a deep, unspoken respect within him.

And so, remembering this was Xu Qing’s homeland, he took a deep breath and bowed.

"Star Ring greets... the Lord."

Their voices shook heaven and earth, stunning all who heard them.

But it wasn’t just them—

At that moment, in every corner where the other holy land Quasi Immortals were being suppressed, the other heaven’s chosens, like Daoist Blood Cloud, bowed toward the human capital, their voices echoing across the land:

"We greet the Lord!"

Meanwhile, in two other directions, the brother duo of Qianjun and Piyi trembled within their immortal sword forms, their voices bursting forth with rehearsed grandeur:

"The Lord’s glory eclipses the ancients, his might unrivaled in the cosmos! A peerless immortal whose Dao transcends the mortal realm!"

"The Lord sweeps across heaven and earth, invincible in this era! His gaze mirrors the stars, his sword commands the skies!"

To emphasize their devotion, their sword forms erupted with radiant immortal light, manifesting as five-colored auspicious clouds that illuminated the heavens.

In an instant, the entire Wanggu was thrown into an uproar!

The appearance of the twelve Great Emperors had already been earth-shattering, but now, for them to bow and hail another—this was beyond comprehension.

Thus, the countless races and holy land cultivators of Wanggu turned their divine senses and gazes toward the figure the Great Emperors were worshiping.

And in the next moment—

They saw it.

Behind Erniu, a figure slowly emerged from the sky.

With each step, the silhouette grew clearer, until finally—

Light blazed across the world.

Every cultivator who saw it was stunned.

The aura emanating from this figure instantly overturned all logic.

Every god who sensed it trembled.

Some knew Erniu; others did not.

But the one who now walked forth, revered by the twelve Great Emperors—

This was a name known to all!

It was as though Erniu’s appearance had been a prelude, a grand stage-setter for this moment.

Even the Empress, a god Herself, felt Her mind reel as She stared at the emerging figure, Her voice breaking with disbelief:

"Xu Qing!"

In that moment, the world shook.

High above, Old Master Seventh smiled.

On the beacon tower, Ning Yan stood frozen, his body trembling uncontrollably. Erniu’s arrival had already sent his mind into chaos, but now, seeing that unmistakable figure—his thoughts blanked entirely.

"This... this..."

The former kings and marquises of the human capital were no different, their eyes wide with shock.

The same scene played out in Fenghai County..

Under Marquis Yao’s lead, a massive mirror formed by the combined power of Fenghai County projected the events in the capital. And when that blurred figure sharpened into clarity—

Marquis Yao froze.

His sister, beside him, was equally stunned.

Old acquaintances like Kong Xianglong gasped for breath.

Wu Jianwu opened his mouth, but no poetry could capture his emotions.

Zhang San, Ding Xue, Zhao Zhongheng—all the past acquaintances of Xu Qing in the Fenghai County stood in a daze, questioning their senses.

"That..."

"He looks so familiar..."

"This... this..."

Beneath Fenghai County, within the Phoenix Palace, a soft exclamation echoed in the silent underground hall.

An iron rod shot out, transforming into the form of the Diamond Sect’s ancestor, who rubbed his eyes repeatedly.

The Seven Blood Eyes, Ning Yan—

Even the Moon Offering Region!

The Crown Prince and the others stared in a trance, while Ling’er’s eyes sparkled as she gazed at the projection conjured by the Crown Prince, murmuring in her heart:

"Big Brother Xu Qing..."

Across Wanggu, every race was in turmoil—gods included.

The Sun God, the Moon God, the gods worshiped by every race, even the hidden ones—all felt Their minds quake.

Thus, every divine sense, every gaze, converged upon that figure still walking forward in the sky.

Each step carried the weight of mountains, shattering the void, summoning heavenly thunder. Even the Heavenly Dao bowed in submission.

Like a king surveying his domain!

This was the aura of one who had weathered countless storms, who stood above all life.

Wherever he passed, spiritual energy and anomalous substances alike yielded, parting to form a path reserved solely for him.

As he walked forward, his jet-black hair cascaded like ink, a few strands falling over his forehead—not disheveled, but adding a touch of untamed allure.

He was the most dazzling existence in this world, the kind that once seen, could never be forgotten.

His eyes were like abyssal pools—deep, icy, yet filled with the brilliance of countless stars.

A single glance from him could pierce through souls, and those who met his gaze instinctively lowered their heads, awestruck, not daring the slightest defiance.

It was as though the fate of all things in existence rested in his hands, to be decided with a mere thought.

A tempest raged around him, causing his black robes to billow with an air of indomitable authority.

The robes themselves were of exquisite craftsmanship, their dark fabric shimmering faintly, as though infused with boundless mystery. Even the night itself seemed to willingly serve as his backdrop, its depth and enigma enhancing his transcendent presence.

And his face—chiseled to perfection—was a match for his aura.

Then, under the watch of countless eyes, after taking several steps, the figure paused in front of Old Master Seventh and the extremely solemn Ancient Immortal.

That pause shook the myriad races, shook all living beings, dimmed the mountains and rivers, and even made time itself seem to halt!

All fell into absolute silence!

As if, in this moment, his return was the only truth in heaven and earth.

The arbiter of life and death, one whom none could oppose.

He was Xu Qing.

His gaze did not linger on others, but fixed upon Old Master Seventh ahead.

With a deep bow, he spoke softly:

"Master, I have returned."

"When I first became your disciple, you vowed that you would protect me in life. Today, your disciple returns... to protect you!"

He had returned!

Those words, that declaration, instantly spread across the world, through every race, throughout all of Wanggu.

It ignited boundless excitement, sparked countless cries of hope and fervor from every region and every people.

"It’s Xu Qing!"

"The twelve Great Emperors were bowing to him!"

"Even Great Emperors call him Lord—what level of cultivation has he reached?!"

"Could it be..."

"Could it be..."

"Summer Immortal..."

Old Master Seventh laughed heartily, his joy reaching its zenith.

Meanwhile, Xu Qing’s gaze shifted to the Ancient Immortal who had brought about this calamity, taking in the other’s grim, solemn expression.

Xu Qing’s calm voice echoed across the world:

"As for you... I have been waiting for you."

With those words, Xu Qing’s eyes suddenly blazed like twin stars, an endless surge of spiritual power erupting from his body like a bursting dam, sweeping outward in an instant.

It formed a colossal immortal form!

The moment it appeared—

The Great Emperors bowed.

Mortals gasped.

The void itself turned to dust!

The entirety of Wanggu trembled violently, cracks spiderwebbing through the fabric of reality.

The sky darkened instantly, thunder roaring as though the heavens themselves were shuddering in his presence.

And then—his Ordinance became Wanggu’s newest law!

Time, space, all laws, all Daos, all parallels—everything was now within his dimension!
