Chapter 104: Destroy Everything

All three of them, thanks to Zhou Yi's assistance, reached the level of Great Luo Golden Immortal, and naturally they were especially concerned about Zhou Yi's situation.

"If short, a hundred years; if long, a thousand years, I will exit the seal on my own," Zhou Yi replied with a smile.

Inside the Jade Palace Cave Heaven, the ten‑thousand‑year ice crystal lantern flickered on and off; Zhou Yi rubbed the jade slip bearing a yin‑yang twin‑fish pattern with his fingertip, while the cold frost condensed on the azure jade table spread along his dark Dao robe.

The years required for the seal were like divining a hexagram in the mist; even the innate prognostication technique could not calculate the exact number of days.

Sui Huang's palm ignited an unextinguishable ember, branding a Phoenix Totem onto the mysterious iron rock: "When the Human Race's fortune is handed to us, it is so."

Before the words finished, a phantom of the Nine Heavens palace rose behind You Chao, and law chains of mortise‑and‑tenon structure coiled around his body; from Cang Wen's sleeve flew three thousand oracle bone characters, each transforming into a golden‑armored guardian.

Three utterly different Holy Path pressures merged before Zhou Yi into a Bagua protective formation.

When the cave residence returned to silence, Zhou Yi spread his fingers and slit open the void.

On the left side, the air condensed into frost flowers, and the Taiyin Scripture transformed into an ice‑crystal phoenix that circled; on the right, golden‑crow flames ignited, and the Taiyang Scripture solidified into a three‑legged divine bird.

Two ancient opposing forces performed a yin‑yang fish dance in his palm, and the floor of the cave residence instantly cracked open a Tai Chi formation diagram.

When gazing into his spiritual platform, Zhou Yi's sea of consciousness revealed a phantom of a bronze immortal palace.

The Imperial Scripture mysteries that ordinary mortals cannot fathom even after a thousand years of cultivation now, within his original spirit, transformed into two intertwined dragon veins.

The dual‑colored ice‑fire aura surged through the twelve meridians, and every acupoint emitted the chant of ancient sacrifices.

The great dragon of his spine raised its head and roared, supporting six layers of jade towers and jade heavens:

First Heaven – Chaos Seed Blue Lotus.

Second Heaven – Five Mountains Stabilize Rivers.

Third Heaven – Golden Body Crosses the Bitter Sea.

Fourth Heaven – Words Manifest Law Forms.

Fifth Heaven – A Flick of the Finger Traces Light and Shadow.

Sixth Heaven – Mixed Origin Proves Immortality.

Zhou Yi's crown erupted suddenly, his black hair half encrusted with cold frost, half ablaze with golden flame.

His left pupil became a moon disc, his right eye flickered with a solar corona, and the surface of his skin displayed the patterns of He Tu and Luo Shu.

The Yin‑Yang twin scriptures collided within his purple palace, producing a brilliance of extinguished stars; had it not been for the Kongtong seal at his waist promptly shedding mysterious yellow qi, the entire cave residence would have been torn apart by the raging law turbulence.

As the thirty‑six cycles of the Nine Heavens completed, Zhou Yi's celestial spirit burst forth as purple‑gold twin‑colored light pillars, piercing the nine‑layered cloud sea.

The Vast Wilderness World's sky simultaneously displayed the phenomenon of sun and moon shining together, startling the innate spirit cranes atop Kunlun Mountain into a collective southward flight, while the Chaos Bell of Wu Feng beyond the thirty‑three layers of heaven rang on its own.

With the completion of the Immortal Platform secret realm, Zhou Yi is about to embark on the cultivation journey toward the Quasi‑Emperor Realm.

Once he ascends to Quasi‑Emperor, his strength in the Vast Wilderness World will rival that of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

It is noteworthy that the Quasi‑Emperor stage has no specific cultivation method; instead, one must elevate the five great secret realms from mastery to perfection and refine the Holy Path laws to the Supreme Law.

During the Quasi‑Emperor Nine Heavens process, when the five great secret realms reach flawless completeness, one may attempt to breach the pinnacle realm of the Great Emperor.

Although there is no concrete cultivation method, through systematic guidance Zhou Yi discovered a way to optimize the cultivation path, ensuring the five great secret realms are without flaw.

This not only raises the likelihood of breaking through to the Great Emperor Domain, but also increases the chance of success.

With the aid of the true scriptures, Zhou Yi began his exploration.

The first challenge he faced was how to cultivate these two classics simultaneously.

In theory, the combination of Taiyin and Taiyang forces can achieve Yin‑Yang balance and mutual generation and overcoming, but in practice the two are as incompatible as water and fire, hard to coexist.

Zhou Yi fully understood the difficulty of this process, yet he was not impatient.

Sitting beneath the ancient bodhi tree, he gradually comprehended a subtle Dao.

Slowly, he found the Taiyin and Taiyang forces within his body beginning to flow harmoniously; though not yet fully merged, this was already a major breakthrough, paving the way for subsequent cultivation.

As time passed, Zhou Yi continuously advanced, sequentially surpassing the Immortal Platform First Heaven through Third Heaven, and grew into a Path‑cutting king.

Pressing onward to the Immortal Platform Sixth Heaven, he inched step by step toward the ultimate of the secret realm.

Finally, after many long years, Zhou Yi successfully cultivated the Immortal Platform Sixth Heaven to a perfect state.

At that moment, the previously opposing Taiyin and Taiyang forces within his body miraculously merged into one.

All these achievements would not have been possible without that miraculous ancient bodhi tree, which kept Zhou Yi in a constant state of enlightenment, greatly accelerating his cultivation progress.

"It's time for the final sprint!" Zhou Yi suddenly opened his eyes and declared loudly.

In an instant, the clear sky became overcast with dark clouds, thunder roared, and a powerful oppressive pressure slammed onto him.

Just as Zhou Yi completed the Immortal Platform secret realm cultivation and prepared to challenge the Quasi‑Emperor throne, a heavenly tribulation descended again.

At that moment, Zhou Yi radiated dazzling light, a massive aura surged straight to the heavens, signifying that he was about to ignite the Quasi‑Emperor fire.

Thunder boomed in the sky, deafening.

A massive bolt of lightning tore across the heavens, shattering the earth's tranquility, shaking the entire Vast Wilderness World and terrifying countless humans.

This is the Quasi‑Emperor tribulation Zhou Yi is about to face, its scale far surpassing that of his initial entry into the Immortal Platform secret realm, its contained power reaching a chilling magnitude.

Lightning intertwined, forming serpentine shapes like dragons and snakes that danced in the air, their tails slashing fiercely toward Zhou Yi's body.

Zhou Yi's expression was solemn, for this tribulation was not only exceptionally arduous, but also far more than merely attaining the Quasi‑Emperor.

In this calamity, Zhou Yi must not only confront the test of advancing his cultivation to the Quasi‑Emperor realm, but also have his physical strength meet the Quasi‑Emperor level requirements.

During his sealed cultivation, Zhou Yi not only raised his cultivation to the Quasi‑Emperor grade, but also elevated his ancient holy body to that same tier.

This dual breakthrough means Zhou Yi will gain unparalleled combat power, yet it also heralds unprecedented challenges.

Those dragons and snakes writhed in the void, eventually transforming into nine azure‑scaled giant dragons, each massive as a mountain, each vividly alive, emitting heart‑stirring dragon roars as if they were real beings.

These giant dragons can pierce the heavens above and suppress the Nine Abyss below, seeming not to be composed solely of lightning.

An azure dragon spiraled, opened its massive jaws, extended sharp claws, as if to devour heaven and earth, lunging straight at Zhou Yi with intent to annihilate him.

Meanwhile, Zhou Yi's entire body shone with sacred radiance, his internal blood surged like a tsunami, displaying the incomparable might of his ancient holy body.

For Zhou Yi, this was a crucial moment.

If he can successfully overcome this hurdle, even in the Vast Wilderness World teeming with masters, he will surely claim his place.

A deafening roar, a massive giant dragon lunged at Zhou Yi, its force enough to destroy everything.

Zhou Yi thought to himself that even such a powerful being among the Dragon Race was exceedingly rare.

Facing the incoming giant dragon, Zhou Yi showed no fear; instead, he took the initiative, using his ancient holy body to counter the dragon.
