Chapter 437: Immortal Realm

The old man's mind sank into this world of thunder, and amidst the world's collapse, he comprehended a sliver of opportunity.

At the very moment the old man comprehended.

The world that had been collapsing instantly began to reshape itself; the thunder mysteries governing this world were reborn amidst destruction.

It then began to gradually transform toward the direction of the Thunder Great Dao laws.

By the time the world took shape once more.

The thunder mysteries that had evolved this world had already transformed into the embryonic form of the Thunder Great Dao laws.

Then, at an extremely rapid pace, it continued to evolve and transform into the true Thunder Great Dao laws.

However, at this critical moment.

The old man shifted his mind and instantly suppressed the transformation of his own Great Dao laws.

After opening his eyes, the old man burst into hearty laughter and said:

"Hahaha, my Dao is accomplished!"

At this time, dozens of figures materialized around the old man, their gazes filled with a hint of envy as they looked at him.

Among them, Xuanxuanzi, the Sect Master of the Immortal Profound Sect, a dominant power in the Central Region, stepped forward and spoke to offer congratulations:

"Master Lingxiao, congratulations indeed!"

The old man who had broken through his cultivation base was none other than the Master of Lingxiao Pavilion, a dominant power in the Central Region.

Hearing Xuanxuanzi's words, Master Lingxiao laughed heartily and said:

"Hahaha, I was merely fortunate, breaking through a step ahead of everyone else."

Upon hearing this, Xuanxuanzi shook his head slightly and said:

"Master, you are being too modest. How difficult it is to comprehend the Great Dao laws! You were able to break through because your foundation was accumulated deeply enough, allowing you to seize this opportunity. Pity, alas!"

At Xuanxuanzi's words, all the Mahayana cultivators present nodded inwardly.

This manifestation of the Heavenly and Earthly rules had been comprehended by them for three years; had they not gained anything?

Unfortunately, the chasm between the mysteries and the Great Dao laws was too vast.

Their gains over these past three years were insufficient to allow them to cross this chasm.

As for Master Lingxiao?

He was the oldest among the many Mahayana cultivators present.

To date, he had lived for over ninety thousand years.

Without this opportunity provided by the manifestation of the Heavenly and Earthly rules.

He might have exhausted his lifespan without comprehending his own Great Dao laws or breaking through to the Immortal Realm.

However, how could one who had become a Mahayana cultivator be simple?

Previously, Master Lingxiao might have been slightly inferior in talent or lacked sufficient opportunity, causing him to be unable to comprehend the Great Dao laws for so long.

But over ninety thousand years were enough for Master Lingxiao to accumulate a profound foundation.

Before Master Lingxiao's breakthrough, relying on his foundation of over ninety thousand years, his combat power already ranked among the top of the group.

This allowed him to use this opportunity of the Heavenly and Earthly rules' manifestation to ignite the foundation he had accumulated, successfully comprehending his own Great Dao laws.

One can only say, it was the time and the fate!

At this moment, Cen Zhe, Ye Qingxuan's so-called Master, sized up Master Lingxiao and asked with some confusion:

"Master Lingxiao, judging by your aura, it seems you have not fully broken through to the Immortal Realm?"

Hearing Cen Zhe's words, the other few also let out a soft exclamation, their gazes curiously turning toward Master Lingxiao.

Sensing everyone's gaze, Master Lingxiao stroked his long beard, a smile on his lips, and said:

"Indeed, now is not the time to break through."

As he spoke, Master Lingxiao's gaze turned toward the edge of the Southern Barbarian Region's southern border, where the Earthly Profound Realm and the Green Demon Realm met.

Once he formally broke through to the Immortal Realm.

He could only remain in the Earthly Profound Realm for a hundred years.

Moreover, during those hundred years, he would be unable to fight at full strength.

If he acted and revealed his Immortal Realm aura, he would be covered by the Ascension Divine Light from the Upper Realm and ascend directly.

Therefore, after breaking through to the Immortal Realm.

He could only stay in the Earthly Profound Realm for a hundred years, or unleash a single strike at full Immortal Realm power.

After delivering that full-power Immortal Realm strike, he would be covered by the Ascension Divine Light and unable to act again.

Ultimately, he would be forced to ascend.

But now, it is different.

Although his thunder mysteries have already transformed into the embryonic form of the Thunder Great Dao laws.

The final transformation into the true Thunder Great Dao laws has not yet been completed.

In this way, he remains in the transformation period toward the Immortal Realm and does not count as a true Immortal Realm cultivator.

Although, because the final transformation is incomplete, his combat power is far inferior to that of Immortal Realm cultivators.

Yet, his combat power is still a notch higher than that of ordinary Mahayana cultivators.

Now, the invasion of the Green Demon Realm is imminent.

He naturally does not wish to abandon the world he has lived in for over ninety thousand years and ascend directly to the Immortal World.

Upon hearing Master Lingxiao's words, the others.

Followed his gaze toward the junction of the Earthly Profound Realm and the Green Demon Realm.

Their hearts instantly understood.

At this moment, after Master Lingxiao's breakthrough.

The laws of heaven and earth in the Di Xuan Realm have once again receded into hiding, though they have not vanished completely.

One can only say that the current laws of heaven and earth in the Di Xuan Realm are half-integrated into the world itself.

Although invisible to the naked eye, to the senses of high-level cultivators,

the difficulty of comprehending the laws of heaven and earth is about thirty percent lower than under normal circumstances.

Though far from the era when the laws of heaven and earth were fully manifest, for the cultivators of the Di Xuan Realm, this is still a cause for joy.

"They have come. Prepare for battle!"

As the voice of the Ling Xiao Sect Master fell, the faces of the many Mahayana Realm cultivators standing in mid-air instantly grew grave.

After the laws of heaven and earth receded into hiding,

the fluctuations of the laws of heaven and earth at the border between the Di Xuan Realm and the Green Demon Realm had settled into calm.

The violent energy that once raged at the boundary between the two realms

had, under the joint suppression of the laws of heaven and earth from both realms over three years,

long since merged into the world, blending with the laws of both realms to form the territory where the two realms meet.

Thus, after the clash of the laws of heaven and earth between the two realms retreated into the shadows,

the border between the Di Xuan Realm and the Green Demon Realm had become passable without obstruction for cultivators from both sides.

At the same time, the voice of the Ling Xiao Sect Master instantly spread throughout the entire border fortress.

The human cultivators stationed at various points along the border, who had been in a state of Dao contemplation, instantly snapped back to awareness.

They began adjusting their states, organizing their equipment and preparing for battle atop the border fortress.

In just over three short years,

the strength of all human cultivators below the Mahayana Realm had improved.

A few cultivators had even seized this opportunity to shatter their bottlenecks, breaking through the constraints between major realms.

Among them was Liu Tai'an, the junior brother of Ye Qingxuan.

Seizing this opportunity, he had successfully breakthrough to the late stage of the Void Meditation Realm.

Sensing the gains of these past three years, many cultivators wore expressions of joy on their faces.

But upon detecting the disturbance at the border between the two realms,

everyone quickly suppressed their emotions and began to stand ready for battle.

At the border between the two realms, a towering tide of demonic qi suddenly rose, spreading toward the human border fortress of the Di Xuan Realm.

Within the demonic qi, tens of thousands of figures from the Green Demon Realm stood suspended in mid-air.

Though merely tens of thousands in number, nearly all of these Green Demon Realm cultivators were at the Soul Transformation Realm or above.

"Hah!" "Crack!"

As the demonic qi swept into the Southern Barbarian Domain,

the demonic qi and spiritual energy began to collide, erupting in a series of explosive roars.

"Hmph!"

Yet, with a cold snort from within the demonic qi, the spiritual energy outside the border fortress was instantly scattered.

After the Green Demon Realm cultivators entered the Di Xuan Realm,

the laws of heaven and earth of the Di Xuan Realm trembled slightly, but were immediately restrained by the laws of heaven and earth of the Green Demon Realm.

Now, the laws of heaven and earth of both realms were evenly matched.

If the laws of heaven and earth of the Di Xuan Realm were to divert strength to suppress the powerful ones of the Green Demon Realm, they would inevitably suffer a counterattack from the laws of heaven and earth of the Green Demon Realm.

Therefore, unless absolutely necessary,

the laws of heaven and earth of the Di Xuan Realm would not easily intervene in this war.

However, the Southern Barbarian Domain was, after all, territory of the Di Xuan Realm.

After the Green Demon Realm cultivators entered the Southern Barbarian Domain, they were still subject to a certain degree of natural suppression.

Sensing the suppression around them, many cultivators of the Green Demon Realm furrowed their brows slightly.

However, the Xie Yuan Emperor, who led them, paid no heed to this suppression.

Leading the powerful ones of the Green Demon Realm to a spot not far from the human border fortress, he stood opposite them in mid-air, his gaze arrogant and disdainful, and spoke in a cold voice:

"Humans, come forth and meet your death!"
