Chapter 1: The Tribulation of Proving the Dao

During the Luan Gu Era, the Dark Turmoil erupted. Various powerful factions engaged in fierce slaughter, while many Dark Emperors and Eerie factions attempted to overthrow the entire universe.

Shi Hao, the protagonist of the Perfect World, emerged from the Great Wilderness. Although born with the Supreme Bone, it was stolen from him. After enduring countless hardships, he pioneered the Shrouding the Heavens cultivation system and lived through nine lives to prove the Dao and become an Immortal.

He slew the powerhouses of major factions in that era, such as Cang Di, Hong Di, Yu Di, and the Mie Shi Lao Ren! Furthermore, he broke through to the Immortal Emperor realm in the Land of Darkness.

Ultimately, at the end of the Luan Gu Era, Shi Hao, the protagonist of the Perfect World, discovered that the source of all this originated from Shangcang Zhi Shang.

Thus, when he entered Shangcang Zhi Shang to investigate the truth, he used his sword to sever the ancient time and space, cutting off the connection between Jiehai and Shangcang, leaving behind a relatively safe environment for future generations.

Because the great battles of the Luan Gu Era shattered the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths and the Zang Di, some regions fused into a new universe, and the Divine Soil from beyond the realms was also struck down into it.

However, the laws of the universe in this period were even more incomplete, and cultivation was extremely difficult, so cultivators had no choice but to practice the Shrouding the Heavens Method left behind by Shi Hao!

The end of this era ushered in a new era: the Mythological Era!

…………

"Boom—!"

A loud sound shook the ten thousand realms, and countless gazes turned toward the edge of the universe.

Many powerhouses of the Heavenly Court were also attracted and looked over one after another.

"Hasn't Jiemie Tianzun already proven the Dao in this era?"

A cultivator asked in confusion.

"This person must have a death wish! To dare to prove the Dao with such a commotion!"

Once these words were spoken, almost everyone thought the same.

After the Luan Gu Era, the incomplete Nine Heavens and Ten Earths did not allow two people to prove the Dao in the same era!

Now, someone actually wanted to break this rule; it was simply ridiculous!

At the same time, Feng Qingyang's gaze was fixed on the firmament. The will of the Heavenly Dao seemed to have been provoked by his actions; the True Spirits of the four directions roared and bellowed, whipping up a storm!

Countless gods and demons vaguely appeared within this heavenly tribulation. This was an extremely terrifying tribulation, one that would make even a Tianzun change color!

"They say that two people are not allowed to prove the Dao in the same era, but today, I shall break this rule of yours!"

His long hair fluttered in the wind, his battle robe snapped in the air, and an extreme, domineering power permeated the edge of the universe.

It was not just the powerhouses of the ten thousand realms; even Jiemie Tianzun fixed his gaze upon him.

"Does this person not want to live?"

He muttered to himself, not quite understanding Feng Qingyang's actions.

At the same time, golden light bloomed throughout the universe, and the Pangu Axe, fused with Chaos Stone Essence, appeared even heavier and more terrifying!

Bearing the Pangu Bloodline, Feng Qingyang stared straight at the Tribulation of Proving the Dao, as if he intended to split the heavenly tribulation open with the Pangu Axe in his hand!

Such great power and crazy behavior—if the watching cultivators knew what he was thinking, they would definitely be shocked beyond measure.

But for now, Feng Qingyang's actions were already enough to shock countless people.

"Boom—!"

The Tribulation of Proving the Dao was still brewing, as if it intended to blast Feng Qingyang into ashes the moment the first lightning strike fell!

But as he watched this scene, only a resolute expression appeared in his eyes; his long hair rose, and the blood within his body boiled and surged.

It was as if one could truly see the shadow of Pangu upon Feng Qingyang!

There was no such figure as Pangu in the Zhetian World, but there were some slight similarities, such as Nüwa and Fuxi from the Primordial Era!

"Boom!"

A deafening sound spread across the eight wildernesses of the universe, and the powerhouses of the ten thousand realms were shocked!

Even Jiemie Tianzun was moved by this violent heavenly tribulation, a look of shock flashing in his eyes!

At the same time, Feng Qingyang's eyes were as deep as the sea, his long hair flowing, and the Pangu Axe in his hand emitted a dazzling light that shrouded the entire world!

"Bang!"

As if an overwhelming force had descended, the edge of the universe surged!

Countless people could not see Feng Qingyang's figure clearly and assumed he had already been reduced to ashes under this tribulation. Someone sighed and said:

"As expected, the Heavenly Dao does not allow two people to prove the Dao in one era!"

As soon as the words fell, the other person's eyes widened, their heart filled with immense shock!

They saw Feng Qingyang surrounded by brilliant golden light, and the Pangu Axe in his hand emitting an even more dazzling radiance!

"He... he actually held on!"

Exclamations rang out, and countless people were stunned, looking in disbelief at Feng Qingyang's revealed body.

"A mere Tribulation of Proving the Dao, how can it stop me!"

The roar seemed to spread across the entire universe. Feng Qingyang swung the Pangu Axe, and in an instant, the sharpness intended to split the heavenly tribulation open!

"Boom!"

The winds rose and clouds surged, shaking the ten thousand realms!

"Roar!"

The roars of the True Spirits of the four directions rang out again. These seemed to be creatures from the legendary Xianyu. Their gazes were all fixed on Feng Qingyang, their eyes flickering with scorching flames, as if they would destroy him at any moment!

"Vile beasts, stop being arrogant!"

Feng Qingyang was not afraid in the slightest, his monstrous aura erupting!

Endless Chaos Qi wrapped around the Pangu Axe in his hand. It was as if the Tribulation of Proving the Dao was not facing a Quasi-Emperor Ninth Heaven cultivator trying to prove the Dao, but a true god!

But how could the dignity of the Heavenly Dao be trampled upon by a Quasi-Emperor Ninth Heaven Feng Qingyang?

Furthermore, since there was already one person who had proven the Dao in this era, this world would not tolerate a second!

Countless bolts of lightning exploded, and the entire edge of the universe turned into a sea of lightning, with billions of thunderbolts intertwining and swirling. However, no matter how these violent thunderbolts struck Feng Qingyang's body,

he acted as if he could not feel them, facing the heavenly tribulation head-on!

"Boom—!"

Another heavenly tribulation descended. The powerhouses of the ten thousand realms stared unblinkingly at this scene; the aura and strength Feng Qingyang had just displayed had already shocked everyone.

They all wanted to witness whether a second person would appear in an era that already had one person who had proven the Dao, even the Supremes in the Forbidden Zones and Jiemie Tianzun felt the same!

At the same time, the blood in Feng Qingyang's body boiled and surged continuously, his vital energy as unfathomable as the sea, and his domineering, majestic power made the entire world tremble!

"Bang!"

In an instant, the universe shook, and the firmament collapsed!

Feng Qingyang held the Pangu Axe, splitting the heavenly tribulation with force, and the light that emerged made it impossible for countless people to see the scene within!

As this heavenly tribulation fell, slight cracks appeared on the surface of his body.

Although they were almost invisible to the naked eye, the powerhouses in the ten thousand realms could all discern that something was wrong.

At the same time, in the Beidou Xingyu, a Supreme in a Forbidden Zone spoke:

"He cannot hold on for much longer. This Tribulation of Proving the Dao is even more terrifying than the one I faced!"

Once these words were spoken, several other Supremes nearby nodded as well.

In the Mythological Era, there were basically very few Supremes in the Forbidden Zones.

Most relied on the Nine-Turn Immortal Pill refined by Di Zun to prolong their lives. The appearance of those who slashed themselves to become Supremes in the Forbidden Zones only gradually began at the end of the Mythological Era, approaching the Primordial Era!

"There can only be one person who proves the Dao in an era; this is not something anyone can break!"
