Chapter 1022 - 597: Tao Achievement and Proving the Emperor, Step 4 [Foreshadowing] (Part 2)

It possesses the ability to take its master into the dream realm, freely traversing different dream realms.

Now, what Hong Yuan relies on is exactly this point.

"Whoosh~"

Dream Worm, also known as Dream Butterfly Fairy Worm.

At this moment, it followed Hong Yuan’s thoughts, flying slowly.

Its entire body is snow-white, with a pair of semi-transparent butterfly wings exuding dreamlike colors, and its butterfly tail is covered by a massive flowing light cloak, resembling giant colorful wings.

In an instant, it swooped toward the ’Original Dream Sea’ of the Dream Tao dreamland, merging with it.

During this process, the Dream Worm was imbued with profound and peculiar Dream Tao Mystery Essence, while the ’Original Dream Sea’ diminished in size.

The Dream Worm is the Life Holy Artifact of Hong Yuan, the ’Extraterrestrial Demon.’ When the ’Original Dream Sea’ completely merged with the Dream Worm, as the master of the Dream Worm, Hong Yuan’s aura suddenly surged.

Although his Immortal Aperture has yet to produce Yellow Apricot Immortal Nuance, nor has he reached the realm of an alternative Tao Achiever, he already possesses the power of a Tao Achiever in his normal state!

For now, he has mastered a supreme divine power of the Dream Tao school—Dream Sea Annihilation.

"Just like my deductions in [Dream Meditation Fight], without deviation."

"And, this result is exceptionally sharp, not only possessing the characteristics of chaos black fire and such, but also able to assimilate everything like Great Unity Wind, making reality dissipate and return to illusion..."

Hong Yuan smiled, eagerly trying his newly acquired peerless divine power.

After some time, he slowly put away the Dream Worm, waiting for something to come.

With a bang, the bizarre and colorful dream world suddenly shattered a corner, as a massive purple-golden palm forcibly squeezed in.

Finally, the purple-golden palm stopped before Hong Yuan.

It was at this moment that Hong Yuan lightly tapped his foot, stepping onto it.

Rumble—

In an instant, Hong Yuan returned to reality, simultaneously crossing Green Heaven and Blue Heaven, reaching the Black Heaven!

As it turns out, this purple-golden palm is the handiwork of the Creation Emperor.

...

...

In Martial World, to achieve Tao and certify as Emperor through Immortal Aperture Skill, five key steps must be taken!

Once, Shang Yaoqin had already fulfilled the first three steps, but was firmly stuck by the Creation Emperor at the fourth step, unable to move, let alone advance to the fifth!

Despite all being destiny, within destiny there exists a vast disparity, such as between Shang Yaoqin and the Creation Emperor!

It is precisely because Shang Yaoqin could not defeat the Creation Emperor that the Human Race in Martial World was forced to wander the myriad realms, leaving their homeland.

Back to the main topic, for Shang Yaoqin and dreams of countless humans, the fourth step to achieve Tao and certify as Emperor is that after satisfying the first three conditions, a saint must arrive at Black Heaven, break through the Heavenly Tao seal, to cause the Immortal Aperture Origin to transform qualitatively, producing Yellow Apricot Immortal Nuance!

Black Heaven, dark and profound, conceals countless deadly threats.

Here, there are also numerous sleeping Star Energy Bodies, each starting at the Quasi-Emperor level, equally terrifying.

On this day, within Black Heaven, a tall, mysterious black figure suddenly appeared.

Extraterrestrial Demon—Hong Yuan!

Hong Yuan wore a mysterious black Tao robe, stood with one hand behind him, tall and straight, his eyes sparkled with a sense of steadfastness as if the world could overturn and he would remain unmoved.

It is well known that Black Heaven is the reserved area of the Creation Emperor, and left behind the alarming declaration that those who approach Black Heaven will be killed without mercy.

Hence, Black Heaven is the forbidden land among the forbidden lands of Martial World, arousing endless curiosity.

If outsiders were to learn Hong Yuan could freely enter and exit here, it would certainly shock everyone.

"Long time no see."

"Long time no see."

Suddenly, the Creation Emperor appeared in true form, confronting the visitor.

He was indifferent as an Immortal God, tyrannical as thunder, sovereign!

One, steady and cautious!

One, greedy and voracious!

If not seen firsthand, no one would believe they are both facets of Hong Yuan!

Inexplicably, the two exchanged a smile, everything unspoken yet understood.

To speak of it, this is the first offline, truly face-to-face meeting between Hong Yuan’s demonic body and human body!

Upon meeting, Hong Yuan sensed an inexplicable feeling of Yin-Yang complementarity and harmonious unity between the two bodies.

It felt as if, if he activated the proficiency panel, causing the Demonic Body and Human Body to merge into one, some earth-shattering event would occur.

Rank ascension?

This feeling was truly hard to describe with words, very curious, something never experienced during exchanges in the Treasured Yellow Heaven!

A moment later.

’Extraterrestrial Demon’ Hong Yuan chuckled and shook his head, pulling his mind away from it.

For now, it’s best to complete the fourth step of attaining the Tao and proving his emperorship.

"Hu~" Hong Yuan took a deep breath, immersing his mind into the Immortal Aperture of his original body.

The Dream Tao Immortal Aperture Cave Heaven of the original body was incomparably vast, even accommodating the Mysterious Qi Continent would absolutely be no problem.

Because it was expanded by devouring countless Great Emperor Dreamlands.

If it weren’t for the fear of [Tao Mark Contradiction], Hong Yuan would really want to sweep the Dream World of the Martial World away!

"Finally, it’s about to begin." Hong Yuan’s tone was extremely complex, as if containing a history full of bitterness.

In an instant, the Dream Butterfly Fairy Worm appeared.

He sat cross-legged on its back, body relaxed.

With a bang, Hong Yuan’s vision changed dramatically, and upon a closer look, he found himself already inside the Dream Tao Immortal Aperture Cave Heaven.

A vast continent, thick and boundless, stretching beyond sight.

Here, Dream Tao Desolate Beasts, Ferocious Beasts, and Worms roamed, and Dream Tao Holy Plants and Spirit Grasses were planted...

In other words, if Hong Yuan were to share these resources with the Martial World, it wouldn’t take long for the Martial World to get on track, as if following a prophecy, entering an era named ’Dreamer’!

For Saints undergoing tribulations, under normal circumstances, the small world of the Immortal Aperture is entrusted to the Saint’s physical body.

But during tribulations, it often needs to be laid upon the great world outside, in turn wrapping around the Saint’s physical body.

However, ’Demonic Body’ Hong Yuan is unique, not requiring such complexity.

On one hand, it benefits from the Destiny of the Demon Clan, on the other hand, it benefits from [Food Tao Master]!

But ’Extraterrestrial Demon’ Hong Yuan doesn’t have this convenience.

Because when he chose to let his original body become an Extraterrestrial Demon, to gain the qualification to transcend the Martial World, he naturally lost the aid of the Martial World.

After all, no matter how rebellious and threatening the ’Demonic Body’ is, it is still Destiny. In fact, in the myriad worlds, it could be said to be the "concrete incarnation" of the Martial World.

At this moment, ’Extraterrestrial Demon’ Hong Yuan felt as if he incarnated as the Heavenly Spirit and Earth Spirit, like a fish in water within the Dream Tao Immortal Aperture Cave Heaven, wielding supreme Great Power, yet finding it difficult to go out.

Fortunately, the Dream Tao Immortal Aperture Cave Heaven itself can communicate with the external world at all times, seizing the two energies of the heavens and earth.

"Rumble——"

At this moment, Hong Yuan opened the door of the Immortal Aperture, receiving the two energies of the heavens and the earth.

In an instant, the heavens and earth hummed, the Star Region shook, endless heavenly and earthly energy surged from the life ancient stars within the Black Heaven, rushing towards the Immortal Aperture gateway.

Soon, vast amounts of heavenly and earthly energy drowned the gateway, pouring inside.

The Immortal Aperture gateway was like a giant whale lurking in the depths of the sea, breaking the surface, opening its mouth to absorb oxygen.

Vast amounts of heavenly and earthly energy swarmed in, causing the entire Immortal Aperture Heaven and Earth to emit a slight tremor, though the extent of the tremor was extremely small, difficult for ordinary people to detect.

In such a situation, in the Black Heaven, ancient stars and vast meteorites were all transformed into heavenly and earthly energy.

The Black Heaven was specifically chosen as a dojo by the Creation Emperor, and due to His long residence, it possessed various miraculous phenomena.

But facing the enormous appetite of the Dream Tao Immortal Aperture Cave Heaven, that seemingly endless demand, the Black Heaven, surprisingly could not satisfy it?!

"Without Destiny, to make Yellow Apricot Immortal Nuance be born in the Immortal Aperture, it is surprisingly difficult?"

"Or is this due to some peculiarity of the Dream Tao Immortal Aperture Cave Heaven itself?"

Beside him.

The observing ’Creation Emperor’ Hong Yuan raised a dragon eyebrow, lost in thought.

Despite his considerations, he did not stop what he was doing.

He lightly exhaled a breath, the Destiny Demon Realm appeared, fragments of land shattered, and the mighty heavenly and earthly energy was born from these two elements.

Ten days and ten nights later.

’Extraterrestrial Demon’ Hong Yuan slowly opened his eyes, joyfully smiling.

The fifth step of attaining the Tao and proving emperorship: White Heaven as the ultimate place, containing the opportunity to become an emperor, possibly possessing the eternal life mystery. It is necessary to traverse the Black Heaven and enter the White Heaven to grasp the Heaven Heart Imprint, achieving the true Great Emperor.

Immediately, Hong Yuan took a step, heading towards the White Red Heaven...
