ed out and knocked the middle-aged man unconscious. Then, he strode into the ancestral hall.Inside the ancestral hall, besides the statues, there was nothing else.And with the arrival of Ginger Cloud,...The last three meridians in the body are shrouded by an invisible barrier formed by the power of Heaven, preventing any force from getting close. However, now that Jiang Yun's finger actually touched the impurities within the meridian, coupled with the cracking sound that had just echoed, it was clear that he had successfully broken through this barrier!

"Fleshly Power!"

Seeing this scene, the exact same four words, "Dao Tian You", came out of the mouths of all four people almost simultaneously.

Although Jiang Yun's act of slashing his chest with his sword and tearing apart his flesh left them bewildered, they couldn't help but see now that the power Jiang Yun used to break through the barrier and open up the tenth meridian was the power of his physical body!

“But…” Tiān Yòu furrowed his brows again, and said in a low voice: “Humans eat grains of all kinds, so they can strengthen their physical strength. Therefore, by this logic, physical strength should also belong to the power of the Shan Hai Realm. Logically speaking, it shouldn’t be possible to break through the Heavenly Dao barrier!”

"Indeed, it can't be broken!" Gu Bulao nodded and said: "Although this young man's actions just now seemed terrifying, throughout history, countless cultivators have been striving to break through the Heavenly Dao barrier. There are undoubtedly many prodigies among them, so there must have been cultivators who tried using their physical strength, but it seems they were unsuccessful. Otherwise, this method would have been passed down long ago."

This left Dao Tianyou even more puzzled. He looked at Jiang Yun and asked, "Then why was he able to break through the barrier with his physical strength"

Gu Bulao pondered, "Unless, his physical strength does not originate from this Shanhai realm!"

Dao Tianyou's eyebrows furrowed even tighter, obviously he couldn't understand the meaning of this sentence for a moment. But just as he was about to continue asking— "Boom!"

A sudden clap of thunder boomed, and the previously cloudless, sunny sky was suddenly filled with wind and swirling clouds. Massive dark clouds materialized at an incredible speed, blotting out the sun.

More shocking still, amidst the endless expanse of dark clouds that seemed to pierce the heavens, a withered face suddenly materialized. Though blurry, it was possible to discern anger etched upon its features.

This aged visage did not merely appear above the Cangfeng peak, but also in the Wenda Sect, Nanshan Prefecture, Wushan Island, and even above the skies of the entire Shanhai Realm. As such, all living beings could see it clearly!

As the aged visage appeared, a vast majesty permeated heaven and earth, accompanied by a terrifying power that sent shivers down the spines of all living creatures.

At this moment, most creatures didn't dare to look up at this aged face. Instead, they all automatically knelt down on the ground.

Even the grass and trees bowed their heads, mountains trembled violently, and rivers ceased to flow.

Looking afar, the entire world of mountains and seas submits to all spirits!

What's going on

"Whose face is this Why is it so terrifying"

Could it be that the end of days is upon us

Countless fearful voices rose from all directions in the realm of mountains and seas, and some audacious cultivators even floated into the void to get a closer look at the face. However, before they could steady themselves, the oppressive aura emanating from the aged face formed of dark clouds instantly sent them crashing back down to the ground. They each bled from their seven orifices, faces contorted in terror.

On a colossal stone gate that soared ten thousand zhang, in the Western Mountain State's Wheel Returning Sect, a dwarf no taller than three feet appeared. He gazed at the aged visage in the sky and muttered, "This is Heaven's Face, the countenance of the Heavenly Dao! The Heavenly Dao is furious, indicating some transgression against its principles! What could possibly provoke such wrath from the Heavenly Dao Even when Wujì entered the tenth level of Pulse Meridian cultivation that day, the Heavenly Dao merely unleashed a few tribulation thunders. Compared to this Heaven's Face, they are utterly insignificant!"

Similar situations appear throughout the Shan Hai Jing. Although these people know that the appearance of Tian Yan signifies something, they are unable to determine what caused it, whether it be an event or a person who triggered its manifestation.

Only those on the peaks of Mount Cang know for sure that Tian Yan's appearance in the world is due to Jiang Yun breaking through the barrier set by Heaven and crossing the boundaries defined by Heavenly Dao!

And such behavior is absolutely forbidden by Heaven, so it appears to stop Jiang Yun and even completely eliminate him!

“He’s just ancient, yet he looked at the back of Jiang Yun and said with a hint of doubt, “Did this kid do something terrible in his past life that angered heaven Just breaking through the barrier caused heaven to appear. What if he really breaks through all twelve meridians and enters the state of a great circle of Tongmai, reaching the realm of Fu Di Wouldn't that completely wake up Heaven No, we need to figure something out!”

After the shock, the three from the East Pavilion regained their composure instantly. They moved swiftly, arriving beside Jiang Yun in unison. Just like when they faced Wei Zhengyang, they stood in a pincer formation, shielding Jiang Yun in the middle.

As for Gingercloud, he too saw the aged face and felt more acutely than any other being the anger that lay beneath it, as well as the intense feeling of impending death.

This crisis was so severe that even Ginger Cloud felt that if his finger dared to stretch forward just a fraction more, he would be trapped in an inescapable predicament.

But Ke Jiangyun showed no fear, especially when he saw the three figures beside him, like three towering mountains, firmly protecting him. A smile appeared on his face instead.

As a smile appeared, Jiang Yun's finger, imbued with all his physical strength and stained with blood, forcefully struck the impurities within his tenth meridian.

"Click!"

A crisp crack echoed, and the solidified impurities were pierced by a fingertip of Jiang Yun's power, forming a fissure.

"Boom!"

Another clap of thunder echoed, and the entire sky turned black as if someone had poured a thick layer of ink over it. It was pitch dark, impossible to see anything with your hand outstretched. The weathered face suddenly opened wide, as if about to utter a single word.

As one word left his mouth, it transformed into a bolt of black lightning, as thick as a water bucket, that descended from the heavens and struck Jiang Yun with full force!

This lightning bolt doesn't seem very powerful, but as it falls, it creates a bottomless black hole of the same width along its path.

From afar, it looks like a waterfall stretching endlessly between heaven and earth!
