Chapter 179

Those runes, after Yang Zhu comprehended them, gradually transformed into individual free-floating tiny living beings, as if they had life, wondrous and endless.

Each tiny living being is condensed from the most primordial Dao patterns, containing the purest and also most intricate and profound Dao traces of this world.

Yang Zhu comprehended and absorbed them one by one, and immediately came into contact with something extremely vague, indescribable, mysterious and hazy.

"Perhaps there truly is a chance to become an immortal..."

He was deeply astonished, marveling at the extraordinary nature of the Pool of Transcendence; indeed, the rumors were true—this place held a tremendous opportunity! Yang Zhu immersed himself completely, comprehending the Great Dao, comprehending the laws, his mind tranquil and harmonious, gaining many different sudden insights.

The Dao-self, True-self, and Passing-self each sat cross-legged, representing past, present, and future; they simultaneously comprehended, cultivating across three lifetimes together, and their training speed reached an extremely terrifying level.

Two months later, a colorful bolt of lightning arced across the bright clear sky, stretching ten thousand zhang in length, resembling a heavenly pillar, carrying a terrifying pressure.

Gai Jiuyou suddenly opened eyes, staring fixedly at the heavens, where chaos intertwined, divine light shone brightly, accompanied by terrifying fluctuations, as if a deity were about to descend.

The next moment, a magnificent and splendid palace appeared, standing above the nine heavens, golden and brilliant, imposing and stern, like a pure divine land.

Before this majestic palace stood a radiant immortal gate, over ten thousand zhang wide, surrounded by intertwining auspicious colors, holy and harmonious.

Standing beneath the light gate, anyone appears as mere dust, exceedingly tiny, a mere speck in the vast sea.

Buzz— the void trembled violently, myriad thunderbolts boiled, submerging the immortal gate; afterward three figures walked out from within.

Those three figures were all shrouded in hazy mist, their faces indistinct, yet without exception each figure was immensely divine, tall and stalwart, like rulers of the universe.

They seemed like several deities, dominating the world, gazing upon the vast cosmos; a mighty aura spread, capable of collapsing the void and shattering the starry river! "Void… Void Emperor? How is this possible!"

Gai Jiuyou stared wide-eyed, seeing only the person standing in the middle holding an ancient mirror; combined with that person's attire and demeanor, this sickly old man was reminded of that individual.

Gai Jiuyou observed the other two, also faintly sensing a trace of imperial aura; perhaps these individuals were also some great emperor or ancient sovereign.

Strangely, they were all at the Immortal Platform realm, and their bodies were illusory, seeming to be merely… an imprint? "Haha, finally here?"

Upon the Pool of Transcendence, Yang Zhu rose to his full height, black hair flowing like a waterfall, eyes extremely frightening, and laughed loudly.

At this moment, the aura of the Sacred Body Dao Embryo burst forth, purple-gold and mighty, spreading over dozens of li; he took a step forward, reaching the nine heavens, arriving before those three figures.

He had undergone the tribulation, but unlike others who face an endless sea of lightning, what he faced were the great emperors of the same era.

The three figures before him were the rulers of that time; the Great Dao imprinted their marks from then into the eternal laws, enabling them to unleash their full power from that era.

Equivalently, Yang Zhu must simultaneously challenge three great emperors of equal cultivation; only by slaying them can he ascend to the Immortal Platform! Yang Zhu moved, without the slightest hesitation or fear, he like a deity arrived before the Void Emperor in a single breath.

His fist covered in purple-gold radiance, bearing invincible conviction, he threw a punch! The Void Emperor, having waged war all his life, not inferior to anyone, bearing invincible conviction, never retreated half a step, and met the punch head-on.

"Tribulation actually means clashing with the great emperors of the same era—too unbelievable!" Gai Jiuyou roughly guessed what was happening, excited to the utmost; having lived eight or nine thousand years, Gai Jiuyou had never seen such a situation before.

Could this be the unique tribulation method of the son of a great emperor? It could simply astonish the world! "Boom—"

The two fists collided, like the Milky Way collapsing; a dull sound rang out, shaking hearts and trembling souls, like a thunderclap from a clear sky.

Even as strong as the Holy Maiden of Yaochi, they were stunned in place, minds blank, unable to recover for a long time.

Immediately thereafter, at the point where the fists met, a void abyss split open, like a gigantic black hole, boundless and endless, as if without edge.

Within it, dark light burst forth, yin and yang powers interwove, and chaotic mist surged, as if one had arrived at a place where the universe was first opened, everything having vanished completely.

Buzz— Yang Zhu's arm trembled nine times in succession, releasing the terrifying residual might; his posture stood tall, like a divine needle calming the sea, never retreating the slightest.

The residual surge surged, blasting open the void, giving rise to countless terrifying black holes that could not heal for a long time.

In contrast, the Void Emperor stepped back three paces before stopping, suffering a great loss in this first clash.

Each great emperor was the strongest of their era, invincible in their time, their strength beyond doubt.

Not that the Void Emperor's strength was lacking, but rather the Void Emperor faced Yang Zhu.

Son of the Beginningless Emperor, Sacred Body Dao Embryo, Nine Apertures Creation Source Eyes nurtured for over ten hundred thousand years, myriad immortal treasures beyond count, Dao-nature talent unique since ancient times, simultaneously cultivating the Beginningless Scripture and the Western Emperor Scripture……

It can be said that since Yang Zhu's birth, he has fully exhausted all his talent and opportunity; even a great emperor of the same realm is no match for him! Clang— the void tore open a huge rift, a lingering bell rang out, vast and mighty; even Gai Jiuyou could not help but tremble.

The next moment, the Beginningless Bell broke through the void and arrived; the bell's body was ancient and massive, its surface densely inscribed with countless emperor runes, giving rise to an indescribable shock and mystery.

The Beginningless Bell turned gently, and billions of auspicious signs fell away; the initial opening of chaos, as if opening up a universe.

Endless imperial might permeated, covering millions of Qinling ranges; the countless beings within all trembled with fear, most going limp and collapsing to their knees.

(Beginningless Bell: the Son's tribulation, buddies coming to join the fun.) "Beginningless Bell……"

The Holy Maiden of Yaochi exclaimed, this is the joint effort of several great holy lands; even after deploying five imperial weapons, they could not budge it an inch—the imperial weapon of the Beginningless Great Emperor, the Beginningless Bell!

Yang Zhu's inner purple-gold blood energy spread, surging forth with the force of thunder, continuing to attack the Void Emperor.

Without too many fancy maneuvers, the Void Emperor raised his hand, and instantly a large handprint appeared behind him, extremely illusory, almost merging with the void.

The black handprint was terrifying beyond compare, intertwining Dao and principle; merely a wisp of its naturally emanating aura could rend space and collapse heaven and earth.

This was one of the Void Great Emperor's Shen Gong, the Void Seal! Behind Yang Zhu, chaos swirled and evolved into a world; after a moment, the Primordial Seal slowly formed.

The seal was not dazzling, but at the moment it appeared, the entire void could not withstand it, collapsing into terrifying black holes, within which black light burst forth.

The Primordial Seal seemed to fuse with the laws of heaven and earth, shaking the entire space violently, carrying an unstoppable momentum, and piercing through the void to strike out! (End of chapter)
