Chapter 174: Few Successors
Nine hundred years later.
"Boom!"
From the depths of the silent universe in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, monstrous Immortal light surged forth.
The Immortal light was world-shaking, illuminating the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, spreading across endless star systems. Countless living beings saw the brilliant and dazzling Immortal light radiating from the depths of the starry sky.
World-shaking waves spread out. In an instant, the Immortal Dao powerhouses stationed in the Borderland all opened their eyes in surprise, looking towards the depths of the silent universe.
The Immortal Dao radiance illuminated the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, instantly spreading to every corner, reaching an extreme level of astonishment.
"Such astonishing Immortal light?"
"How powerful of a True Immortal must this be!?
"What an astonishing phenomenon. For a moment, I almost thought someone in our realm had achieved the Immortal King Dao Fruit!"
In the Borderland of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, some Immortal Dao beings showed surprise. They looked towards the silent, uninhabited deep space of the universe, trying to see who was achieving the Immortal Dao Dao Fruit.
At this moment, within the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, sweet dew fell from the sky, divine springs gushed from the earth, flowers bloomed in the void, and the sacred and incomparable sound of the Great Dao resounded throughout heaven and earth.
"Who became Immortal? Was it Cang Yan Supreme, or Shen Shang Supreme? Or Jin Huang Supreme of the Golden Crow race?"
"All wrong. That's a complete stranger, not any of those well-known Supremes."
"It's truly astonishing. This kind of Dao Fruit is incomparable. In the future, they will definitely be an extremely powerful Immortal King!"
...
Streams of powerful divine sense were communicating in the Borderland of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. These divine senses were at least those of Supremes, and there were even Immortal Dao divine senses of True Immortals.
"How could it be him!?" At this moment, on the Borderland giant city of Qingwei Heaven, a voice of surprise came from the divine sense of a Supreme, exclaiming, "He was only a Supreme over nine hundred years ago!"
"He was only a Supreme over nine hundred years ago? Qing Yuan Supreme, what kind of joke are you making?"
In an instant, divine senses surged, and the area became completely chaotic.
"Who's joking?" Qing Yuan Supreme's divine sense immediately roared, saying, "Over nine hundred and sixty years ago, I saw him pass the Supreme tribulation. At that time, Senior Five Extremes of the Five Elements Immortal Palace even protected him!"
His divine sense transmitted the sound of the Dao: "At that time, I investigated and found that Fellow Daoist Xuan Ming had only cultivated for over twenty years and was already a Supreme. Do you know what I felt? In some legends, even some Immortal Kings were only like this?"
In fact, legends are truly just legends. Immortal Kings achieving the Dao in decades is merely a beautification; most achieve the Dao after a thousand or even two thousand years.
"I've seen an Immortal Emperor!" Suddenly, a True Immortal exclaimed in surprise, "Achieving True Immortal at a thousand years old, our Nine Heavens and Ten Earths are about to produce an Immortal Emperor!"
"Haha... A thousand-year-old True Immortal, truly living a long time, you can see anything." A True Immortal laughed loudly, saying, "What Other Realm, what dark source, in the future, they will definitely be flattened by our Nine Heavens and Ten Earths!"
A thousand-year-old True Immortal is already enough to prove everything!
With the methods of Immortal Dao beings, news about Fang Ming naturally spread quickly. The various Immortal Dao experts in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths all learned of his situation.
"Rumble!"
World-shaking heavenly punishment crashed down, flooding the depths of the dead universe.
That was Chaos Immortal Thunder, Immortal Dao lightning, countless in number. Just its descent destroyed endless star systems, turning countless star systems into Chaos.
Each bolt of lightning was larger than a star system. The Immortal Dao thunder was incomparably bright, and each bolt spanned several star systems.
An unspeakable oppressive aura spread. If it weren't for the presence of many Immortal Kings and True Immortals in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths at this time, the living beings would truly suspect that this heavenly tribulation would destroy heaven and earth.
The heavenly tribulation was too vast. The Immortal light was endless, and the thunder light was incomparably bright. Within the heavenly tribulation, majestic figures manifested. They were former Heavenly Talents, former achievers of the Dao.
In an instant, figure after figure manifested, some wearing battle armor, some with Immortal artifacts on their heads, holding Immortal Dao divine weapons, a full eighty-one figures!
Although they were formed by Immortal Dao thunder, they still possessed surging life force, no different from true Immortal Dao experts.
In the Borderland of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, some Chang Sheng Zhe and certain Immortal Kings standing on the Borderland giant city showed strange expressions when they saw the figures manifesting in the heavenly tribulation.
Those were clearly their own figures manifesting!
As achievers of the Dao in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, when they first achieved the Dao, the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths would only imprint a part of their Great Dao. Now, the heavenly tribulation manifested their Great Dao, evolving their Dao bodies to become one of the tests for those who came after.
"Eighty-one Immortal Dao Dao bodies, that's a bit too much." An Immortal King frowned, a thought of wanting to weaken the heavenly tribulation arising in his heart.
When the strength is not qualitatively different, quantity having an advantage means having an absolute advantage.
Just at this moment, the situation in the heavenly tribulation changed again. An astonishing phenomenon appeared behind Fang Ming.
A sheet of Chaos spread overwhelmingly. Within it, countless light spots appeared. Those were Cave Heavens, worlds, and among them, eighty-one clusters of light were exceptionally dazzling. They were vast and boundless worlds!
They were Middle Thousand Worlds!
Around these eighty-one clusters of light, nine slightly dimmer clusters of light each revolved. Each cluster was a Small Thousand World.
In an instant, the eighty-one clusters of Middle Thousand Worlds and the surrounding clusters of Small Thousand Worlds trembled. The power of the worlds surged, and each evolved a figure.
Kunpeng, Suzaku, Nine-leaf Sword Grass, Kirin, Devouring Sparrow, various different innate divine beings...
There were a full eighty-one figures. These also possessed Immortal Dao level fluctuations and powerful life force.
Seeing this scene, the many Immortal Dao experts and Immortal Kings in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths narrowed their pupils.
"This is!?" An Immortal King shrouded in Immortal light spoke in shock, "A path that was considered a dead end has been walked through? And it's even more astonishing than imagined?"
This Immortal King was covered in fire light, with a Suzaku mark between his eyebrows. His gaze penetrated the endless void, directly looking at Without End Immortal King and Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal King, full of indignation, saying:
"Wu Zhong, Six Paths, you two old fellows are not being honest! Someone in our Nine Heavens and Ten Earths has successfully expanded the path and created a world-shaking great method. We are fighting desperately against the Other Realm Immortal Kings in the front, and such a heaven-defying genius is born in the back, and you don't even inform us. It's really unpleasant!"
"Suzaku King, please calm down." Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal King smiled apologetically, saying, "This is our fault, and it was also for the sake of caution. The Other Realm's infiltration into our realm is very deep. At that time, little friend Xuan Ming had not yet grown up. In fact, his exposure now is also unavoidable. Otherwise, according to our intentions, we would have let little friend continue to hide until he became an Immortal King before letting him show himself."
Suzaku King, one of the Seven Kings of the Borderlands, a peak Immortal King of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, and one of the seven Immortal Kings stationed in the Primitive Imperial City.
"So that's how it is." Suzaku King nodded, indicating understanding.
Creating such a system indeed requires caution. If the Other Realm detects any clues, they will definitely nip it in the bud in advance.
In fact, there are many geniuses who were killed in advance by the Other Realm, even by Immortal Kings themselves.
That Immortal King was also a giant among the Immortal Kings. Not only was his strength powerful, but he was also shameless, specializing in the Dao of Time. Feeling a change in the future, he immediately took action, crossing the river of Time.
Therefore, this time, Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal King was in the open, and Without End Immortal King was in the dark. One in the open, one in the dark, quietly protecting Fang Ming from being mysteriously assassinated.
Then he asked, "Does the Ancestor Sacrificial Spirit know about this?"
"We did want to tell the Ancestor Sacrificial Spirit." Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal King said with some helplessness, "But there was no opportunity."
After Kun Di appeared, Liu Shen, as the Ancestor Sacrificial Spirit, had been confronting Kun Di, with battles breaking out from time to time. Now, she had even entered the Boundary Sea.
Within the heavenly tribulation, an extremely fierce battle erupted. The aura of destruction of all phenomena spread mightily. This battle attracted the attention of too many people.
The thunder light was endless. The Immortal Dao Dao bodies evolved by the heavenly tribulation disappeared and reappeared, possessing the power of Undying.
Fortunately, Fang Ming had comprehended the Undying Scripture, initially grasping the profoundness of this Great Dao, possessing extremely powerful recovery abilities. Not only could he recover himself, but his All Heavens World also had powerful recovery abilities.
Fang Ming did his best to fight against this Immortal heavenly tribulation.
Thunder light fell one layer after another, endlessly. Finally, a vast and boundless, ancient and unimaginable heavenly palace appeared above the sea of thunder.
This heavenly palace was so majestic, so solemn, possessing an aura of 'Emperor', even more serious and solemn than an Immortal King's Dao field.
Within the heavenly palace, the heavenly thunder transformed into countless heavenly soldiers and generals holding magical artifacts. They lined up in formation, and along with the many Immortal Dao experts who had manifested earlier, they all charged towards Fang Ming.
Seeing the heavenly palace that appeared in the sea of thunder, the many Immortal Dao True Immortals and Immortal Kings had solemn expressions.
Someone whispered, "Why would a heavenly court appear in our realm's heavenly tribulation? Could it be that a supreme heavenly court that dominated the heavens truly existed? Has its real influence reached the present?"
Some Immortal Kings frowned, some had solemn expressions. They tried to deduce, but they couldn't deduce anything.
In a certain residence of the Five Elements Immortal Palace, in front of a disciple of the Immortal Palace, an ancient mirror was suspended. The mirror reflected the scene of Fang Ming undergoing the tribulation.
"It's actually him, Xuan Ming!! He's only a thousand years old, so astonishing..." Xuan Qing was dumbfounded, feeling a sense of fantasy like a fairy tale.
"He has opened up a completely new path... Could it be that he can break through the Immortal King realm..." Xuan Qing's heart sank, filled with endless regret.
As soon as he thought of the things he had done before, he felt a sense of impending disaster and deeply hated why he had done such things in the first place.
"Xuan Ming must die, and I can only go all the way to the dark side!" Xuan Qing gritted his teeth and took out a world treasure box imprinted with an Immortal Dao mark.
In the depths of the starry sky, within the heavenly tribulation, Fang Ming fought desperately, battling against the many Immortal Dao beings evolved by the heavenly tribulation.
During this period, the chaotic雏形 he had evolved continuously absorbed the Great Dao laws within the heavenly tribulation, becoming two parts more real, no longer like a byproduct of the All Heavens World, possessing a trace of the true meaning of Chaos.
Among them, the All Heavens World and the Cave Heaven雏形 continuously refined the essence of the heavenly tribulation, absorbing the Great Dao laws and constantly strengthening. Many Cave Heavens formed, advancing to Small Worlds, and Small Worlds advancing to Small Thousand Worlds.
At the same time, within the Middle Thousand Worlds that had already advanced, a cluster of incomplete Great Chiliocosm's world origin was rapidly being refined.
The world origin of the eighty-one Middle Thousand Worlds was increasing at a terrifying speed!
In an instant, the All Heavens World roared together, and immeasurable Immortal light erupted. In the Immortal light, the All Heavens 法身 he had evolved destroyed the Immortal Dao Dao bodies evolved by the heavenly tribulation, and then together, they refined and absorbed all of the heavenly tribulation.
The Immortal light was endless, and the Immortal energy flowed. Fang Ming successfully passed the tribulation and became a true Immortal Dao powerhouse.
With eighty-one Middle Thousand Worlds, plus many Small Thousand Worlds, Small Worlds, etc., his strength far surpassed that of other beings of the same level by an unknown amount!
"This is, this is the Immortal Dao realm of my system? As expected, it's completely different from before!" Fang Ming closed his eyes, carefully savoring the feeling of comprehensive sublimation.
"Hiss!"
Without any warning, a black long spear carrying unparalleled killing intent pierced through the void, attacking from behind, directly stabbing Fang Ming's head. It condensed the Great Dao laws that could destroy a great universe. This was the power belonging to the peak of True Immortals, Quasi-Immortal Kings.
