Chapter 2095

"Tribulation..."

"The limit of a living being's body..."

"Even a True Immortal, even the Human Emperor must face such a limit of a living being's body..."

Jiang Ding whispered in his heart.

At this moment, having passed the tribulation of the Withered Eye and the tribulation of Lost Speech, he felt parts of his body evolve; his lifespan began to increase dramatically, and his strength grew accordingly.

But this was not infinite.

The more his lifespan grew, the more he touched that limit of a living being, seeing that impassable chasm; that was the inevitability of living beings, which even the Human Emperor must face.

Lifespan must eventually be exhausted.

Living beings must inevitably die.

Only Immortals.

Only True Immortals can transcend; otherwise, everything in this world will eventually wither and rot, like grass and trees, like earth and stone, like divine weapons and sharp blades; these things will collapse over vast time, not eternal, nothing can be infinite, this does not conform to the laws of nature.

Boom!

Boom-boom...

In the sky, crimson thunderbolts crashed down one after another.

Each thunderbolt was accompanied by a terrifying Supreme Tribulation.

The youth in green robes was originally youthful and immortal; nearly a million years of time could hardly leave any trace on his body, still looking exactly as he had in his high school years many years ago, without a single change, a living being unchanging in time.

But amidst these terrifying tribulations, the youth in green robes began to change.

Sometimes his jet-black hair withered, turned gray-white, lost all luster and vitality, and fell out in an instant, leaving him bald, something that had never happened in the past million years;

Sometimes his teeth fell out, his face became covered in wrinkles, and he instantly turned into an old man, his vital energy depleted, his body extremely weak, vaguely resembling his grandfather and grandmother, another old man similar to his grandparents; the cycle of time had reached this point, the little grandson of the two old people had now become someone resembling them;

Sometimes his ears withered, hanging limply, he went deaf, could not hear the various sounds of the outside world clearly, needing to be shouted at loudly by his ear many times to hear any sound, no longer possessing the sharpness of his youth;

Sometimes his sense of smell failed completely, his sense of taste vanished entirely; he could not taste the food in the bowl, could not tell if it was salty, bland, or too spicy; there was no difference at all.

Sometimes he ate spoiled food without knowing, fell seriously ill; the living being's instinct for self-protection had vanished; the crimson heavenly tribulation shattered the six-revolutions protective barrier on his body surface, leaving him covered in blood, bone fragments exposed, terrifying and gruesome...

The youth in green robes, eternal and unchanging in time, began to show signs of aging.

His body began to show signs of twilight; this seemed to herald a certain future, the despairing old age that only the supreme living being who had slain all True Immortals of the same era and achieved the status of Human Emperor was qualified to experience.

"Kill!"

"This Lord will certainly not die of such aging!"

"Dying of old age, dying between the sheets, this is a disgrace for a sword cultivator!"

Jiang Ding roared low.

He drew his sword.

He drew his sword again and again, facing the heavenly tribulation and slashing out beams of sword light; as he swung, the atmosphere of the Lawless Era fell to the earth, and various anomalies of the Lawless Era spread outward.

The Golden Crow wailed in sorrow, the Fusang Divine Tree snapped, the Ancient Heavenly Court collapsed, stars fell, and various other anomalies appeared in succession, pushing aside the thunder and storms of the surrounding starless sky, giving birth to the unique rules of the Dao of Law-Extinction belonging solely to himself; the Dao of Law-Extinction materialized in this starry sky, gaining its own will.

Jiang Ding stumbled sometimes and staggered other times; the damage the tribulations brought him was real and tangible, but he kept drawing his sword to strike the sky, slicing through crimson thunderbolts one by one, slicing through all the fragile and weak circuits and structures of his magic power and divine sense within his body, further optimizing his Immortal Dao Universe Constant empirical formula amidst these countless disasters.

The path of measuring the Immortal Dao Universe Constant has not yet reached its end!

This is merely a beginning!

The path to becoming a True Immortal is to advance into star regions one by one in the endless starry sky, personally and on-site measuring the Heavenly Dao data of every star region, further optimizing one's own Immortal Dao Universe Constant empirical formula, gradually transforming that bloated, complex, and ugly empirical formula into a precise mathematical formula.

In the end, a concise formula similar to e=mc would form; a few simple, ordinary characters could completely describe the entire endless universe and starry sky.

Only then would the gate of True Immortality truly appear before one's eyes.

Jiang Ding kept drawing his sword; no matter what tribulation he faced, he remained calm, never making a single mistake in calculating the Immortal Dao Universe Constant, always leveraging the power of the Heavenly Dao to the maximum extent to form beams of dim yellow Lawless sword light, constantly slicing through tangible and intangible obstacles between heaven and earth, slicing through crimson thunderbolts one by one.

Finally, the crimson thunderbolts in the sky vanished completely.

Only the ninth, the final one, remained floating in the sky, infinitely terrifying and infinitely heavy, continuously gathering various calamities, various thunder and storms from the endless starry sky, always held back without being unleashed.

An infinitely terrifying, infinitely heavy aura of destruction appeared between heaven and earth.

This starry sky instantly froze; even the rules of the Great Dao froze; the existence appearing within that thunderbolt was so terrifying that even the Supreme Great Sun Sword Immortal felt a strong life-and-death crisis; the Great Sun Immortal-Mortal Sword Soul trembled, giving warning, smelling a terrifying aura far exceeding the past.

Indeed, the Great Sun Immortal-Mortal Sword Soul's black-and-white pupils flickered; its materialist ability to observe the essence of the universe discovered something even more terrifying.

That infinite, changing fate...

That constantly changing Dao...

That...

"Ten Thousand Daos..."

Jiang Ding took a deep breath, revealing an expression of extreme excitement; his entire body became agitated, as if he saw an unparalleled treasure gradually appearing before him, available for him to take and use at will.

"You are not dead yet?!!"

Boom!

Crack-crack...

Various sounds of shattering never ceased in his ears.

In that extremely distant faraway place, in the spirit-less universe starry sky where the Sirius star was located, all light here had dimmed; no astronomical telescope could capture any trace anymore; the brightest star in human history of the solar system besides the sun had completely disappeared many years ago.

Sirius had become a dead, silent planet, a planet without any light.

The surface of this planet, sixty-six times larger than Earth, was covered by a substance as hard as obsidian; these were various secondary impurities accumulated during the sixty-plus thousand years of artifact forging, gathering countless heavenly treasures and earthly materials from the clusters of over a thousand Great Worlds across seven star regions, the labor achievements of countless cultivators over hundreds of thousands of years.

The matter accumulated within this star had reached an infinitely terrifying, heavy degree!

This Sirius star, relying solely on its own weight, emitted an infinitely terrifying gravitational pull, forming an artificial black hole that swallowed all visible light, becoming completely pitch black!

Crack!

Boom-boom...

At this moment, with the summoning of the Sword Master,

This star, silent for over six hundred thousand years, began to show chasm-like cracks across its surface. From within those abyssal fissures, terrifying dim-yellow light poured out, illuminating the starry sky of the entire spiritless cosmos!
