Immortal World, Exalted Palace.
A handsome young man in a Daoist robe was sitting cross-legged in the middle of the hall. There was a faint golden seal flickering between his eyebrows.
This was one of the Five Great Heavenly Masters of the Immortal World, Heavenly Master Absolute. He was also the youngest and most legendary Heavenly Master in the Immortal World.
Heavenly Venerate Absolute had ascended from the Mortal Realm to the Celestial Realm. In a hundred years, he had become a Heaven Immortal. In a thousand years, he had become a Golden Immortal. In ten thousand years, he had become a Great Overarching Golden Immortal. After that, he had become a Nine Heavens Xuan Celestial, Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial, Celestial Monarch, and Celestial Emperor.
One hundred thousand years!
The other four Celestial Venerables of the Immortal Realm had all cultivated for hundreds of millions of years since the Chaos of Pangu!
At this moment, rays of golden light were being emitted from his body. Within these rays of golden light, strands of purple gas would occasionally be emitted.
Primordial Violet Vapor!
In the legends, only a Dao Ancestor that had reached the Dao Saint realm, the Dao Ancestor that had reached the Primordius Imperishable boundary, would possess grandmist purple energy. But, the chaos energy within Empyrean Absolute's body was beginning to transform into grandmist purple energy. This was a sign that he was about to reach the Dao Realm!
Above the Daluo Heavenly Palace, violent lightning tore through the air and astral winds howled.
A wave of pressure enveloped the entire vast Immortal Realm.
Immortals, Celestial Immortals, Golden Immortals, Perfected Golden Immortals, and even Immortal Emperors from the Immortal World soared into the sky and looked in the direction of the Exalted Heavenly Palace in shock.
A billion miles away from the Exalted Heavenly Palace, on top of a ten million zhang tall mountain, a fiery-red silhouette soared into the sky. This fiery-red silhouette exuded an aura no weaker than Exalted Heavenly Sovereign Absolute. He was none other than Exalted Heavenly Sovereign Zhurong of the Immortal World's five great Heavenly Sovereigns!
"This, this, this guy, is he going to affirm his Dao and become a Saint?!" Looking at the scene above the Exalted Celestial Palace, Zhurong Celestial Master's face changed dramatically.
After Pangu created the Heavens and perished, he was formed from Pangu's blood essence. He was blessed by the heavens and had cultivated for countless trillions of years since the Primal Chaos. Even he was unable to touch upon the threshold of the Great Dao. But, this junior Empyrean Absolute had only cultivated for tens of thousands of years and was about to corroborate his Dao and become a Saint!
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!" Zhu Rong stuttered, as he couldn't accept this fact.
Even he, the incarnation of Pangu's Blood Essence, could not prove his Dao and become a Saint. How could this Celestial Lord of Absolute, who had ascended from a mortal, possibly become a Saint?!
Suddenly, Zhu Rong thought of a possibility, and his expression changed drastically.
"Unless he's not a mortal cultivator, but the reincarnation of the Grandmist God!"
Reincarnations of Grandmist Gods like Pangu and Hongjun!
Otherwise, it would have been impossible for a mere 100,000 years of cultivation to break through to the Empyrean realm and become a Saint in a million years! A million years! He had broken through to the Celestial Venerable realm in 100,000 years, reached the peak of the late-stage Celestial Venerable realm in 1,000,000 years, and now he was going to become a Sage?!
While Zhurong's expression changed drastically, the other Celestial Venerables were also shocked and bewildered.
The entire world of immortals was shaken.
At the same time, the pressure from the Exalted Heavenly Palace grew heavier and heavier. Apart from Zhurong and the other Heavenly Venerables, the other Immortal Emperors and Immortal Monarchs couldn't withstand the pressure and knelt on the ground.
Above the Exalted Celestial Palace, the Flood Dragon Lightning rumbled and spread out. Under the Flood Dragon Lightning, the surrounding millions of miles of mountain range were struck by the Heavenly Lightning and turned into dust.
After that, the space of the Immortal World was torn apart, and pillars of purplish-red lightning and crimson flames abruptly rained down from within.
"This, this, this is divine punishment!"
"It, it really is Heaven's Punishment!"
Zhurong turned pale with fright as he watched the purplish red lightning pillar blasting towards the Exalted Celestial Palace like a flood.
Divine Punishment!
Heavenly Dao's Punishment!
It was rumored that the Heavenly Dao would send down divine punishment before one became a Saint. The purplish-red lightning pillar was the Grandmist Lightning, and the crimson flames were the Heavenly Dao Fire!
As long as one could withstand the Grandmist Lightning and Heavenly Dao Fire, one could become a Saint and attain a Grand Dao Physique!
Even though he was a trillion miles away, the terrifying power of the Grandmist Lightning and Heavenly Dao Fire made Zhurong's soul tremble.
He knew that even with his current Heavenly Venerate physique, a Grandmist Lightning and Heavenly Dao Fire were enough to injure him severely!
But now, the Grandmist Lightning and Heavenly Dao Fire rained down on the Exalted Celestial Palace like an endless flood!
"Heavenly Venerate Exalted Celestial's strength has actually reached such a level!" Zhurong sighed deeply. Without a doubt, Heavenly Venerate Exalted Celestial's strength was the strongest among the five Heavenly Venerables!
The Grandmist Lightning and Heavenly Dao Fire continued to bombard the Exalted Celestial Palace, as if there was no end to it. Inside the Exalted Celestial Palace, rays of golden light soared into the sky, resisting the divine punishment.
This went on for more than an hour. Suddenly, the void changed, and the Grandmist Lightning and Heavenly Dao Fire increased by several times.
The golden light was instantly suppressed. Then, the Grandmist Lightning and Heavenly Dao Fire drowned the Exalted Celestial Palace. Then, the Immortal World shook with a loud rumble.
The entire Immortal World seemed to be on the verge of collapse.
A destructive force spread out from the Exalted Celestial Palace. Everywhere it passed, everything was reduced to nothingness.
"Oh my god, run!"
Some of the Exalted Golden Immortals, Immortal Monarchs, and Immortal Emperors turned pale and fled.
However, before they could even scream, they were swept away by the destructive force and disappeared from the world.
After a long, long time, the Immortal World finally calmed down.
Zhurong looked over and sucked in a breath of cold air.
With the Exalted Celestial Palace as the center, the surrounding several hundred million miles was barren. All the mountain ranges, immortal trees, and immortal beasts were wiped out. The ground cracked and caved in, and the underground magma was still erupting.
At this time, three figures appeared in the sky above the Exalted Celestial Palace. They were the other three Celestial Venerables. Zhurong's figure flashed, and they also arrived above the Exalted Celestial Palace.
"Did … did Celestial Venerable Exalted Celestial fail to validate his dao?!"
"The heavenly punishment's power is too terrifying!"
"That's right. If it were me, I wouldn't even last half an incense stick's worth of time!"
Zhurong and the other three Celestial Venerables looked at the huge crater below with lingering fear. Their expressions were complicated.
Based on the current situation, it seemed that Celestial Venerable Exalted Celestial had failed to validate his dao.
The four of them stayed for a long time before they finally flew away.
Just as the four of them flew away, in a distant corner of the universe that was countless worlds away, there was a low-level plane called Sky Blue. The originally cloudless sky was suddenly filled with violent thunder, and the entire plane was plunged into darkness.
Then, a bolt of lightning tore through the darkness and disappeared in an instant.
"What's going on? Why did the sky suddenly darken?! "
"Don't tell me the demons of hell are attacking again?!"
Just as all the experts in Skyblue Realm were in shock, the darkness suddenly disappeared, and the sky returned to its original state. The sky was clear and bright, and the sun was high in the sky. All these changes stunned everyone in Skyblue Realm.
"Did I see wrongly just now?!"
"It's not the demons of hell?!"
Everyone in Skyblue Realm fell into a heated discussion.
…
Celestial Venerable Exalted Celestial slowly opened his eyes and woke up. Looking at the scorching sun in the sky, he raised his hand to cover his eyes. His entire body was in excruciating pain, and he felt like his bones were about to fall apart.
"What's going on?!" Celestial Venerable Exalted Celestial shook his head with great effort. He only remembered that at the critical moment when he was blocking the Primordial Lightning and Fire of Heaven Dao, the heavenly punishment's power suddenly increased several times. Then, he lost consciousness.
As for what happened after that, he didn't know.
"Where is this?" Celestial Venerable Exalted Celestial struggled to support his body and stood up shakily. He looked around and saw an endless stretch of towering trees.
"Why is the spiritual energy so thin?!" Celestial Venerable Exalted Celestial Venerable frowned. He felt that the spiritual energy around him was more than a hundred times, no, a thousand times thinner than the spiritual energy in the Immortal World!
Was this not the Immortal Realm?! Heavenly Empyrean Absolute thought of a possibility. Then, he used his divine sense to inspect his body. He saw that the chaos energy within his body had actually disappeared!
Moreover, all of his meridians had been destroyed. The Law chains that were as thick as pillars in his soul sea had been broken into countless segments!
Not only had his soul and meridians been damaged, but even his Heavenly Venerate body had been severely injured!
"This?!" Heavenly Premier Absolute's face flickered.
It seemed that even though he had escaped death, his cultivation had also disappeared!
"Hu!" Exhaling a turbid breath, Heavenly Premier Absolute attempted to circulate his dantian. However, the moment he did so, a heart-wrenching pain assailed him and his face turned pale. Next, his vision turned dark and he fell to the ground.
While in a daze, Heavenly Exalt Absolute heard footsteps.
"Eh, Miss, there's someone lying there?"
"Let's go and take a look!"
"Miss, be careful. This is the Green Flame Forest, the other party might be sent by the Chen Clan!"
"It's fine, don't worry!"
It did not take long for them to arrive beside Heavenly Lord Absolute.
"This person seems to have been attacked by a lightning-type demonic beast!"
"What a powerful lightning-type destructive force! Could he have been attacked by a high-grade demonic beast?!"
"This is the periphery of the Green Flame Forest. It's impossible for there to be high-grade demonic beasts here."
"Bring this person along. We'll return."
"Miss, this person has suffered such heavy injuries. Even if we rescue him, I'm afraid he won't live for long. Moreover, his origin is unknown and his attire is strange. It's better to avoid unnecessary trouble. I think we should just ignore him!"
"Alright, you don't have to say anymore. Bring him along!"
"Yes, Miss!" The surrounding guards could only helplessly reply.
Following that, Heavenly Premier Absolute felt himself being lifted up and placed on a beast. Along the way, he could vaguely see a beautiful figure in front of him. That should be the Miss.
After an unknown period of time, he could hear the clamor of people. It seemed that they had arrived at a city.
"We've finally arrived at the Murong Manor!"
"Our harvest this time is pretty good. We've killed more than a dozen second-grade demonic beasts!"
In a daze, Heavenly Premier Absolute listened to the discussions around him. Murong Manor?
In the Immortal Realm, the Murong Family was one of the few superpowers. I wonder if this Murong Manor is related to the Murong Family in the Immortal Realm?
Subsequently, Heavenly Premier Absolute was arranged to stay in a small courtyard in the Murong Manor by the Miss.
After the two guards carried him onto a wooden bed, they ignored him and left.
Lying on the cold and hard wooden bed, Heavenly Premier Absolute smiled bitterly in his heart. He did not expect that he, Heavenly Premier Absolute, would be reduced to such a state one day!
It seemed that he was being ignored by these mortals! In their eyes, he was just a half-dead man!
Half-dead man? Heavenly Premier Absolute laughed at himself. It seemed that he had to recover his strength as soon as possible.
He took a deep breath, endured the pain all over his body, and forced himself to sit up. However, when he tried to forcefully circulate his previous life's cultivation technique, the Great Chaotic Heaven, he felt the same piercing pain as before. This time, he did not pass out.
"I, Heavenly Premier Absolute, have cultivated for a million years and experienced thousands of calamities. I don't believe that I can't recover my strength!" Heavenly Premier Absolute's eyes were resolute.
