Chapter 267

Looking at the descending Ignorance Karma Fire, Jun Xiaoyao's expression showed not the slightest surprise.

On the contrary, it was exactly what he had anticipated.

To carve a path without any risk was clearly a fantasy.

Jun Xiaoyao had already prepared himself mentally.

"To fight against heaven brings endless joy!"

Jun Xiaoyao looked up at the sky, his demeanor carefree.

His entire body surged with immortal radiance, the power of all one hundred and forty Great Luo Immortal Bones fully unleashed.

Thick immortal light spread outward, making Jun Xiaoyao appear like a celestial exile untouched by the mortal world.

A sphere of immortal radiance formed a shield, enveloping Jun Xiaoyao's figure.

Moreover, he had already activated every defensive technique at his disposal.

The Azure Sky Ancestral Dragon Armor, the Cloak of the Gods—all available defenses, Jun Xiaoyao had equipped them all.

BOOM!

The Ignorance Karma Fire descended, striking Jun Xiaoyao.

Its terrifying heat could burn all things to ash.

But more terrifying still, this Ignorance Karma Fire could disrupt the mind and burn the soul.

Twisted faces appeared before Jun Xiaoyao.

Long Hao, Yang Pan, Fa Hai, Lin Feng…

These enemies who had once died by Jun Xiaoyao's hand now became vengeful ghosts, seeking to claim his life.

Ignorance Karma Fire was the fire of sin—every sin Jun Xiaoyao had committed transformed into karma fire.

Yet Jun Xiaoyao's expression remained cold and indifferent.

"If you're alive, you're only fit to be ants beneath my feet—how could you rise again after death?" Jun Xiaoyao maintained inner stillness, utterly unaffected.

He did not believe he had done anything wrong by killing so many.

A single general's glory is built on ten thousand corpses.

To reach the peak, Jun Xiaoyao's feet would inevitably tread upon countless bones.

This was merely a small portion now—later, the number of those he killed would only grow greater.

Watching Jun Xiaoyao withstand the Ignorance Karma Fire, even Ji Qingyi, Wang Chuan, and others were momentarily stunned.

Had they not seen it with their own eyes, they would never have believed anyone could withstand a Divine Flame Tribulation at the Unity Realm.

"My god, Xiao Xiao is just too amazing!" Little Demon Immortal's eyes sparkled with awe.

Who could believe it if not for seeing it with their own eyes?

Originally, Little Demon Immortal and the others had not believed Jun Xiaoyao could walk that path.

But now, they began to waver.

Perhaps, they would witness a miracle with their own eyes.

Jun Xiaoyao sat cross-legged upon the stone platform, surrounded by roaring Ignorance Karma Fire, yet he sat as calmly as a fisherman on his perch.

Jun Xiaoyao was deducing, planning—the laws of order, the patterns of all things' evolution, churned within his mind.

The ten surrounding world origins were drawn into his dantian.

Jun Xiaoyao did not intend to turn the ten world origins into an immortal seed.

He sought to use the ten world origins as nourishment to comprehend his own Dao.

Gradually, the ten world origins fused within his dantian into a single seed, chaotic and formless.

This seed could be called the Ten-Realm Immortal Seed.

If one were to rank all immortal seeds throughout history,

this Ten-Realm Immortal Seed would surely rank among the top three.

It was an immortal seed forged from the combined origins of ten lower-world realms—its power was simply outrageous.

In fact, Jun Xiaoyao could now directly assimilate this Ten-Realm Immortal Seed.

He would gain unimaginable enhancement; once fused and breakthrough achieved, Jun Xiaoyao would instantly become the brightest sun among his peers!

"Such a powerful immortal seed!"

Feeling the terrifying fluctuations of the Ten-Realm Immortal Seed within Jun Xiaoyao's body,

Little Demon Immortal, Ji Qingyi, Wang Chuan, and others all showed expressions of shock.

The immortal seeds they possessed were also highly advanced.

But compared to the Ten-Realm Immortal Seed, they instantly paled by more than a notch.

"If I could obtain the ten world origins and forge a Ten-Realm Immortal Seed, how powerful would I become?" Wang Chuan sighed, a trace of resentment in his heart.

Unfortunately, he had failed to seize the ten world origins.

Yet to Wang Chuan and the others' utter astonishment, Jun Xiaoyao did not choose to assimilate the Ten-Realm Immortal Seed.

He used the Ten-Realm Immortal Seed as nourishment to refine his own Dao.

"Xiao Xiao has too much guts—if it were me, I'd have fused the Ten-Realm Immortal Seed long ago," Little Demon Immortal murmured in amazement.

It was as if Jun Xiaoyao stood before a grand, paved highway, yet refused to walk it.

Instead, he chose to carve his own path.

Such a difficult, thankless endeavor was something few prodigies would attempt—and none dared to.

Because doing so might invite heavenly punishment and unspeakable terror.

Wang Chuan had abandoned his path for precisely this reason.

This Ignorance Karma Fire was merely the prelude.

BOOM!

As Jun Xiaoyao deepened his contemplation,

his dantian churned like the opening of heaven and earth, a primordial cosmic chaos energy spreading outward.

This energy seemed alien to this world—entirely born from within Jun Xiaoyao himself.

All immortal seeds, regardless of rank, were born from this world.

Thus, even the most outrageous immortal seed, once assimilated, caused no issue.

For example, the Ten-Realm Immortal Seed, though outrageous, would not draw heavenly retribution.

But now, it was different.

A new energy had spontaneously arisen within Jun Xiaoyao's dantian.

This energy did not belong to this world.

It was an energy Jun Xiaoyao had independently comprehended and evolved.

To heaven and earth, this was an aberration—it would be punished.

As expected, the instant this energy emerged,

heaven and earth changed color, winds and clouds churned, thunder rolled like an endless tide.

"What's happening?"

On the altar, every prodigy felt a heart-stopping dread, as if facing the end of the world.

BOOM!

Above the sky, dark clouds gathered, then seven-colored lightning bolts emerged.

"Is this… the Saint Ascension Tribulation?"

Seeing the seven-colored lightning, every prodigy's mind exploded in shock, frozen in disbelief.

The Seven-Colored Tribulation was the Saint Ascension Tribulation—only appearing when one crossed into sainthood.

This tribulation posed a grave threat even to saints, let alone Jun Xiaoyao.

It was leaving Jun Xiaoyao not a single path to survive.

Jiang Luoli, Yi Yu, and Yan Qingying's expressions changed drastically.

They could not remain calm—this was heaven itself demanding Jun Xiaoyao's death, granting him not a shred of hope.

"Of course, this is a dead end—no one can break through," Wang Chuan murmured, yet inexplicably felt a sigh of relief.

With Jun Xiaoyao alive, every prodigy of this era would suffocate.

If Jun Xiaoyao perished, it would mean the crushing mountain atop all prodigies had been shattered.

Watching the seven-colored tribulation about to descend, Jun Xiaoyao exhaled deeply.

"I didn't expect heaven holds me in such high regard," Jun Xiaoyao smiled.

The more extreme it was, the more he proved his path was not wrong.

Jun Xiaoyao did not stop—he continued to evolve the scene of heaven's opening and chaos's birth within his dantian.

BOOM!

Finally, the seven-colored tribulation transformed into a seven-colored true dragon, hurtling down to strike Jun Xiaoyao!

The power of this lightning strike could easily obliterate a saint!
