Chapter 1062: The Heart of the Unified World

“Hmph!” Qing Cang sneered coldly. “Huang Long, you’re too happy too soon. Do you really think that just because you’re stronger than me now, everything is already decided?” As he spoke, Qing Cang’s aura surged violently. “By attaining sainthood, my Heavenly Dao technique has advanced greatly, nearing perfection. Even those at the mid-stage of the Hunyuan Supreme Realm cannot withstand me!”
The Heavenly Dao Wheel behind Qing Cang emitted brilliant light, spinning round after round. With each rotation, it felt as though one were entering a new cycle. Huang Long even had the sensation that he had been reborn, returning to the state he was in at the beginning of his reincarnation, with not a trace of magical power left—just an ordinary mortal!
But just then, a golden light burst from Huang Long’s body, forming layers of golden dragon scales around him that instantly blocked out all the light from the cycle. At the same time, the World Tree in the sea of Huang Long’s soul glowed intensely, while the Heart of the World emitted brilliant green rays, illuminating the entire underground cavern. Waves of powerful energy surged forth from the Heart of the World.
“What is this?!” Sensing the changes in the Heart of the World, Qing Cang turned around abruptly, staring in shock at it. He felt that the Heart of the World had gained some kind of powerful source of energy, radiating immense vitality.
“That’s impossible! Your true body was destroyed long ago—there can’t be another source of power!” Qing Cang exclaimed in shock.
“Impossible?” Huang Long sneered at that moment. Hearing his sneer, Qing Cang seemed to think of a possibility. His expression changed drastically as he pointed at Huang Long. “Could it be you?”
But just as he spoke, he saw a bell appear above Huang Long’s head amidst the auspicious clouds—it was the Chaos Bell. The bell rose into the air, grew larger instantly, and formed a grand array that covered the entire universe. The world changed completely, with a vast starry sky surrounding them. Then, from the Chaos Bell, a giant tree emerged above the auspicious clouds. When this tree appeared, waves of powerful life energy nearly suffocated Qing Cang.
Seeing the Chaos Bell enveloping the space around him, Qing Cang tried to break through it, but upon seeing the giant tree, he froze abruptly, his whole body trembling in utter terror. He stammered, “Th- the World Tree!”
“That’s right, the World Tree!” came the deep voice of the Heart of the World.
“I’ve waited for this moment for countless eras, countless extended ages, trillions of years—finally, it’s here!” The Heart of the World could hardly contain its excitement, its voice trembling slightly.

Under the astonished gazes of Qing Cang and Huang Long, the vast mountain range stretching for countless miles suddenly began to tremble violently, as if some ultimate beast from ancient times lurked deep within its depths. Then, the entire mountain range exploded, with streams of green and golden light shooting upward from its base. An even more terrifying aura spread throughout the universe, causing even Huang Long to feel immense pressure! This feeling was worse than being crushed under an ancient divine mountain yet unable to die. Huang Long was horrified. If Huang Long was like this, there’s no need to say anything about Qing Cang. The Heart of the World was the soul of the World Tree back in the day. Although it no longer had a trunk and had been severely damaged, it had once been the strongest being in the universe—reaching the realm of Hunyuan Xuwu, the master of the Heavenly Dao! Its pressure was naturally beyond what Huang Long and Qing Cang could bear! Fortunately, Huang Long had already used the Chaos Bell to isolate the surrounding space; otherwise, it would have alarmed the Ghost Saint King of the Ghost World and possibly even all the saints of the Three Thousand Great Worlds! If that happened, it might trigger a war among all the saints! Even so, the vast starry sky created by the Chaos Bell kept rumbling under the force of those intense green and golden light beams. Waves of innate star power spread out from the starry sky like ripples. When the green and golden light beams reached their peak, they suddenly stopped, and the starry sky fell utterly silent. Then, under the shocked eyes of Huang Long and Qing Cang, the entire mountain range exploded completely, and a huge, blindingly bright light sphere flew out from its base. Huang Long couldn’t describe just how large this light sphere was. He had visited most of the top ten great worlds in the Three Thousand Great Worlds, but this light sphere was larger than any of them! Even the Pangu Great World seemed insignificant in comparison! “Is this the Heart of the World?! The Heart of the World Tree from back then?!” Huang Long was shocked and filled with excitement—such powerful strength, such overwhelming pressure! Even its form reflected its greatness—everything about it was powerful! The Heart of the World soared, emitting extremely bright green and golden light, causing even the starlight from the Chaos Bell to retreat and vanish! This was the light possessed by the Heart of the World Tree, the greatest divine weapon of old—a light that made all the saints of the Three Thousand Great Worlds tremble in fear! “Huang Long, activate the World Tree and merge with me!” At that moment, the deep voice of the Heart of the World rang out.

Huang Long finally snapped out of his shock. Without hesitation, he urged the World Tree to take flight toward the Heart of the World, while the Heart of the World also flew toward the World Tree.
“You want to merge? Never!” At that moment, a figure soared into the sky, positioning himself between Huang Long and the World Tree—it was Qing Cang.
Of course, he would never allow the World Tree and the Heart of the World to merge. If they did, the World Tree would regain its former strength, and then he would have nowhere to die!
“Eternal Reincarnation!” Qing Cang flew up and roared in fury, his face twisted with madness.
Now, he was determined to fight to the death. If he didn’t fight now, he would have no chance later.
The Heavenly Dao Wheel behind him began to spin, all 2,900+ rings turning simultaneously, emitting 2,900+ types of reincarnation auras.
However, instead of attacking the Heart of the World, he turned his attack toward Huang Long.
The reincarnation auras surged toward Huang Long like waves. Wherever they passed, space and time were reversed, reaching a level that defied the natural order.
But just as Huang Long was about to act, the Heart of the World struck first. It emitted a brilliant light, and within that brilliance, all the reincarnation auras vanished, as if darkness met the sun.
Then, Qing Cang seemed to be struck by a fierce blow and was flung backward.
“Hmph, daring to claim ‘Eternal Reincarnation’ in front of me?” the Heart of the World sneered, its voice filled with disdain. “The 3,000 great worlds and the 3,000 paths were all created by me. If your teacher, that old man in the center, came, he might pose some threat to me. But as for you, your path of reincarnation isn’t even mastered yet!”
