Chapter 505: The End of the Heaven-bearing Vein

One after another, rays of light representing Gu Yuan's own Dao shone forth from the Dao Fruit within his body, lighting up in succession.

The one hundred twenty-two dormant Immortal Vein Seals were fully activated at this moment!

Beginning with non-being, ending with being!

From nothing comes something; break then establish!

Gu Yuan's already dead body suddenly opened its eyes.

His aura burst forth explosively at this moment!

No longer the Heavenly Emperor Realm, but a genuine... True Immortal!

He succeeded!

He, in an unprecedented manner, survived this world-ending tribulation and attained the True Immortal Realm!

Well...

Gu Yuan's lips curled into a smile.

It's time to take back what belongs to me.

His mind sank again into the Dao Fruit.

The Dao Fruit, having undergone the baptism of the Returning Void Divine Thunder, is now crystal clear, flawless and perfect, exuding an immortal divinity transcending all things.

The one hundred twenty-two Immortal Vein Seals shone brightly.

The one hundred twenty-third vein...

Gu Yuan's will turned into a carving knife.

He poured all his insights from surviving this world-ending tribulation, and his final understanding of the heavenly dao laws of the Primeval Immortal Realm, completely into this blade.

He encountered no obstacles.

It was as natural as water finding its course.

A brand-new vein, as if condensed from the laws of the entire Primeval Immortal Realm, one end connected to his Dao Fruit, the other seemingly extending to the edge of the universe, gradually took shape.

This vein is the Heaven-bearing Vein!

Bearing heaven's will, governing all laws!

Boom——!!!

At the moment the one hundred twenty-third Immortal Vein was fully formed.

Gu Yuan's inner world and the outer Primeval Immortal Realm, through this Heaven-bearing Vein, gave rise to an unprecedented mysterious resonance!

His Dao Fruit, at this moment, became completely perfect!

The one hundred twenty-three Immortal Veins, like a perfect cycle, flowed endlessly within his body, never ceasing.

A supreme aura surpassing even the Immortal King, faintly touching the Emperor Realm, flashed from his body.

In the Primeval Immortal Realm, all beings gazing at the starry sky, regardless of cultivation or location.

At this moment, they all simultaneously saw an unforgettable vision.

Above the Heavenly Dome, one hundred twenty-three brilliant light pillars piercing the universe appeared out of nowhere, as if supporting the whole world, emanating a supreme divine might that suppresses the ages and declares 'I alone am supreme'.

At the tip of those one hundred twenty-three light pillars, a blurry figure stood silently, looking down upon all beings.

……

At this moment, inside the Hall of Eternal Life, the air was nearly solid.

Everyone's gaze was fixed on the starry sky outside the hall, shrouded in the boundless light of the Great Dao.

One hundred twenty-three...

The Myriad Medicine Divine Lord swallowed his saliva.

True Immortal Realm, opening one hundred twenty-three Immortal Veins.

This is not a myth; what is this?

Beside him, Gu Gong trembled uncontrollably.

In his eyes burning with gold-red flames, those one hundred twenty-three light pillars were reflected.

Immortal Emperor... is the record set by the Immortal Emperor...

Gu Gong's voice was very soft.

Even in the most vast annals of the ancient immortal court, only that Supreme Immortal Emperor who founded the myriad ages' golden age, but ultimately vanished at the edge of the realm sea, achieved this unprecedented feat upon first entering the True Immortal Realm.

He originally thought that if the new lord could open one hundred twenty-two veins, that would already be a heaven-defying talent, enough to be second under heaven.

But he never expected the new lord to actually reach this step.

He tied with the Immortal Emperor!

As for Tu, he was even more embarrassed.

Or rather, he felt that voluntarily offering his true soul and signing a master-servant blood contract might be the most correct and wisest decision he had made in his hundreds of thousands of years of wandering life.

Perhaps he might truly have a chance to advance further in the future.

Maybe even step onto the fifth step and beyond!

Above the Divine Island.

Gu Cangsheng bore the Chaos Immortal Bell, hands in his pockets, watching the anomalous phenomena in the starry sky, his mouth grinning up to his ears.

Hey, no wonder he's Laozi's grandson.

He cheerfully cracked open a melon seed and spat out the shell.

That tiny melon seed shell, the moment it left his lips, turned into a chaos energy blade capable of slaying stars, silently vanishing into the distant void, unknown where it flew.

He was very satisfied.

Extremely satisfied.

Having abolished his cultivation, breaking and then establishing, reversing time, retreading the path of cultivation, and finally daring to point at the nose of the Heavenly Dao and demand a world-ending tribulation.

This lawless, reckless vigor is simply a replica of his youthful self.

No, it's even wilder than he was back then.

"Good, this is truly the offspring of my Gu family."

At that moment, the shocking, eternity-shaking phenomenon in the starry sky began to slowly dissipate.

One hundred twenty-three immortal meridian light pillars, like a tide, receded and hid again within the figure standing at the center of the universe.

Gu Yuan's aura was completely stabilized in the True Immortal Realm.

But that faint yet palpable pressure made all the Immortal Kings present feel a tremor rising from the depths of their souls.

Gu Yuan slowly opened his eyes.

He could feel that he was now completely different from before.

One hundred twenty-three immortal meridians formed a perfect, flawless circulation within his body.

Of those, one hundred correspond to the three thousand great Dao of the Primordial Immortal Realm.

Twenty-two are the transformation of his own cultivation foundation from the first to the nineteenth realm.

And the last one, that Heaven-Bearing Meridian, is like a bridge connecting his inner world with the external Primordial Immortal Realm in an unprecedented way.

From then on, in this Primordial Immortal Realm, he is the one heaven's mandate belongs to.

With a thought, he can mobilize a portion of this realm's heavenly Dao power for his own use.

This is more direct and overbearing than any Immortal King's edict.

"So this is what a true immortal is." Gu Yuan muttered to himself.

However, just as he was preparing to return to the Divine Island to properly digest the gains from this breakthrough.

He suddenly felt that at the end of his newly born Heaven-Bearing Meridian came a trace of extremely weak yet incomparably ancient resonance.

That was not the will of the heavenly Dao.

Rather, it was an emotion.

An emotion that had undergone billions of years of sedimentation, loneliness to the extreme.

Gu Yuan's brow slightly rose.

He followed that trace of resonance and extended his mind there.

The next moment.

The scene before his eyes changed.

The original cosmic void disappeared.

In its place was an endless expanse of ruins formed from shattered laws and chaotic currents.

Upon the ruins, upon a shattered throne, sat a vague, towering figure.
