Chapter 642: Willing to Untie the Shackles for All Living Beings

"Barbarian God! Barbarian God! Barbarian God!"

"Hahaha, I am going to become a god! Become a god!!!"

The eerie shouting shook the sky, emanating from a dense forest in the Eastern Wasteland that no one knew of.

The Eastern Wasteland Divine Continent is vast and rich in resources, possessing the largest area among the Four Great Divine Continents; the Kings divide the land among themselves, which also results in it having the largest unexplored regions.

Once, the Barbarian people lived within this stretch of forest, using the unique terrain to hide.

This strange situation left the people of the Eastern Wasteland bewildered; some were excited, feeling that an extraordinary person had stepped forward to oppose the crowd of Immortal Gods, while others were secretly delighted, preparing to fish in troubled waters while this person attracted attention.

And this act of openly singing a different tune also caused the Immortal Gods to frown, feeling very displeased.

"Hmph!"

"Ignorant fellows, do you really think one by one that we have no temper?"

They were not confident in completely taking down Ren Yidao, so they chose to temporarily avoid his sharp edge, which seemed to have made these fellows misunderstand something.

They were merely unwilling to pay too high a price, not that they were truly helpless against them!

Besides, if they could not deal with Ren Yidao, could they not deal with you who desire to attain the Dao?

The Ten Directions World-Extinguishing Tribulation—who knows how many years it takes for an existence capable of bringing down such a Thunder Tribulation to appear; could there really be a second such eerie existence right now?

Hmph.

Impossible!

Among the Immortal Gods who regard the Eastern Wasteland as their base, some had already made a decision to ruthlessly eliminate this fellow who took the lead in stirring up trouble.

Kill the chicken to warn the monkey!

They must let others see what the outcome of doing this will be!

They must make everyone clear that there will be no good results for defying them!

The Eastern Wasteland changed its sky once again; tall and towering figures loomed in the sky, stirring up the winds and clouds of heaven and earth, preparing to annihilate it with the momentum of thunder.

"Hahahaha! Hahahahaha!!!"

And just as the Immortal Gods were ready to strike, a bizarre-looking creature walked out from the mountains... oh, no, that's not right.

It is a mountain!

Among the mountains, a seemingly ordinary low hill suddenly trembled a few times, and then a soil giant several dozen zhang tall stood up from within; its knees bent, and it soared into the sky, flying into the distance before crashing down with a boom, smashing out a huge deep pit.

Boom!!!

The vegetation and soil covering its body were shaken off, revealing the truth that had been concealed underneath.

This was a mountain of flesh and blood piled up from all sorts of bones!

Countless faces emerged from all over its body, and an unknown number of severed limbs and broken arms reached out from its body, grabbing toward the front.

The giant's head was composed of hundreds of skulls piled together, and hundreds of pairs of eyes looked at the surroundings in a three-hundred-sixty-degree circle while laughing wildly.

"Haha!"

"Barbarian God! Barbarian God!"

"Why did you abandon us? We have been waiting for your return, but why did you..."

"Become a god!"

"If the Barbarian God is not here, then we shall become the new Barbarian God ourselves!!!"

"This... what is this!?"

The Immortal Gods in the firmament also felt their scalps tingle upon seeing this scene; they felt puzzled and muttered to themselves, but the arrow was on the string and had to be fired, so they did not hesitate and directly descended divine punishment.

Boom!

Bolts of thunder descended from the sky, striking the monster's body, causing it to stagger and fall back a few steps, knocking over a small mountain.

"Ah—"

A large portion of its upper body turned charred black, and many faces peeled off amidst screams, turning into ashes under the might of the Immortal Gods.

But other than that, the earth-shattering divine punishment did not cause more damage; the giant was not only not weakened, but on the contrary, it became even stronger!

It flipped over and stood up; although it looked much shorter and its head was mostly shattered, its aura was even stronger, its movements were more agile, and its footsteps were no longer heavy.

What made one's scalp tingle the most was that a strange wine aroma was actually emanating from its body!

Rich and mellow, it instantly drifted across the entire mountain forest, and an unknown number of creatures fell down drunk after smelling this fragrance.

The people of the Eastern Wasteland did not understand what this was, let alone its origin; they had only fear for this fragrance and wished they could retreat a hundred miles.

But for the Immortal Gods, this scent was somewhat inexplicably familiar yet strange; they had not smelled it for many years.

"This fragrance... this? This is!?"

"Myriad Spirit Brew... hiss!"

"Clearly, the Myriad Spirit Demon Venerable who invented it has already fallen, and the Myriad Spirit Brew should have been completely lost; I never expected that there would still be some left in this world! It's just a pity that it was actually drunk by this fellow; what a waste!"

The Myriad Spirit Brew is a true immortal brew; it also has great benefits for cultivators in the Ascension Realm, capable of allowing an Immortal God in the Ascension Realm to recover from a heavily injured state to a peak state.

No matter how severe the injury, it can be completely recovered!

This effect is extremely astonishing; having the Myriad Spirit Brew on one's person is equivalent to having an extra life when fighting those of the same realm.

This was the true lifeline of the Myriad Spirit Demon Venerable; they would not easily exchange it with others, fearing it would leak out and be studied by others. The value of one bottle was comparable to a top-tier supreme treasure!

In the year the Heavenly Court was destroyed, the Myriad Spirit Demon Venerable was secretly murdered by others for the crime of harboring a treasure and died with hatred; the murderers divided the Myriad Spirit Brew they carried among themselves.

But unfortunately, they did not find the method of preparation, and the Myriad Spirit Demon Venerable was cautious by nature, never having taken in any direct disciples, and did not pass down the technique.

Thus, the brewing technique of the Myriad Spirit Brew was buried in the past along with the Myriad Spirit Demon Venerable.

The Immortal who struck also shook their head with some emotion, sighed, and prepared to blast the weird giant to death in one go.

But before they could act, they were hurriedly stopped by a voice transmission from another Immortal God.

"Wait a moment! Hold your hand!"

The Immortal God observed the giant carefully, sniffed that wine aroma earnestly, and a moment later, his expression brightened, his brows twitched, and his eyes were filled with eagerness as he excitedly said:

"Wrong! The fragrance emanating from its body is not yet rich enough; what it drank was not the finished product, but merely a semi-finished product that had not yet finished refining!"

As the name implies, Myriad Spirit Brew requires relying on the bloodlines of myriad spirits, condensing their essences together to serve as a wine starter, and then refining them through a special Secret Technique to fuse them into one, ultimately achieving astonishing effects.

"And since the wine aroma has not yet dissipated, that means this wine is still in the process of being refined; it just happened to fill the gap required for this Myriad Spirit Brew through some method."

As for what method the giant used to make up for this deficiency, looking at the corpses piled all over its body, everyone could easily figure out the secret behind it.

"In other words, this guy drank that thing and did not fully absorb it; not only did it not gain any benefits, but it instead became a new wine jar."

Those who drink wine are not necessarily able to control the alcohol, but will instead become slaves to the alcohol.

"Then what do you suggest we do?" the tentacled gentleman asked with a frown after hearing the other's advice: "Are we just going to let it enter Beiming like this?"

"Let it undergo the tribulation!" The old man, who looked to have the bearing of an immortal, stroked his beard and smiled slightly: "But right here in this region of the Eastern Wasteland, there is absolutely no way we will let it have the possibility of leaving."

"Good!" The two hit it off immediately, and he expressed his absolute welcome for such an approach.

This was their prize; it was already few enough for the two of them to split, and it was impossible to share it with others.

"From just now, we can see that the Thunder Tribulation is of great benefit to its refining; relying on the power of Heaven is certainly better than us trying to exert effort ourselves."

"Once it can successfully pass the Ascension Tribulation, then we will very likely truly obtain a divine brew that surpasses all previous Myriad Spirit Brews!"

Both of their hearts were incredibly excited, but they did not make it known, deliberately putting on an act in front of the other Immortal Gods.

They even drew some experience from the battle between Yun Yuan and the Purple Lightning Thunder Venerable just now; the two pretended to fight, and while fighting, they kept saying that there was a trap in this, and that the other party wanted to frame them.

And the two's actions successfully caught the eyes of the other Immortal Gods, also allowing this monster, which had already become their prize, to get a moment to catch its breath.

Although it kept making strange laughs and cries, it did not really rush toward the Heavenly Tribulation in one go as the others thought; instead, it first fell silent on its own for a while, and then its figure began to undergo a huge change.

One by one, the heads withered and shrank, turning into fresh blood like wine liquid and melting into its body, until finally only two heads remained—one looking aged, one honest and simple.

Finally, the aged head slowly turned, nodded toward the young head, and revealed a creepy smile that was both kind and ferocious.

"Mangu, everything of the Barbarian race is now handed over to you; do not let down the expectations of all of us."

"You will definitely become the Barbarian God..."

After saying this, the head of the Barbarian Priest also shattered and dissipated, melting into the body.

Crack.

A tall body walked out from the remains of the giant. Mangu raised his head with a numb expression, first glancing at the two Immortal Gods still fighting in the sky, and then looking at the Thunder Tribulation clouds that had slowly gathered.

The numbness on his face gradually dissipated, turning into fanaticism and madness; with a kick of his legs, he rushed toward the Thunder Tribulation descending from the sky, carrying with him a sense of solitary courage and madness.

And in mid-air, he let out a roar:

"BARBARIAN!!!"

That sound shook the heavens and the earth, as if it had come from the primordial era, having experienced countless hardships, finally fusing back together after splitting into countless fine details, and ultimately converging into one sound.

"GOD!!!"

……

Mangu's experience was not an isolated case.

Among those qualified to charge at the Ascension Tribulation at this moment, who did not have a legendary experience?

Mangu turned myriad spirits into one body, Yaoyue cultivated for two lifetimes, the Divine Emperor gathered the faith of a whole region, Li Yandao was the most outstanding person of the Li Family, Huang Huang was born from the corpse of the Phoenix Demon God...

Everyone had their own stories.

In their own stories, they were all miracles, all standing at the very peak of everyone, ruling over an era.

And right in the Zhongzhou Tiangong, which had all turned into ruins, there were now four people wearing Four Symbols masks occupying the four directions of the Tiandi Gongyu, beginning to undergo their own Ascension Tribulations.

Yet the Tiandi Gongyu was completely silent, as if no one existed, but there was also an invisible pressure shrouding that area, making the Thunder Tribulation dare not approach.

Just as Ren Yidao said, all those who were qualified did not let go of this once-in-a-thousand-years opportunity and began to charge at their own Ascension Tribulations.

Whether they acknowledged the favor or not, everyone undeniably owed Ren Yidao a great Causality.

Ren Yidao happily watched them each show their methods, either easily accepting the baptism of the Thunder Tribulation or struggling bitterly under the Thunder Tribulation.

He did not deliberately look after anyone; the Ascension Tribulation could only be relied upon by themselves, and others could not help them.

Ren Yidao just waited silently, looking forward to some blind Immortal God adding a little fun for him.

"Dare I ask the Immortal Gods, do you have any pointers?" His self-talk went unanswered and finally dissipated in the roaring sound.

It was a pity that until the end, no Immortal God dared to appear in Beiming; no one stepped across the line.

Just when Ren Yidao was feeling a bit listless, the first person to pass the Ascension Tribulation appeared.

It was Yaoyue.

Her foundation was too deep; although not as easy as Ren Yidao, she did not suffer any fatal damage during the Ascension Tribulation, which made her feel a bit confused.

After all, in her impression, the Ascension Tribulation had never left her with any good impression, but who knew it would be so easy now.

Next was Huang Huang; her foundation was also very deep, having the body of a Demon God as her backing.

But when the two of them finished the tribulation, they both had a strange feeling: it seemed... still missing the final step?

The tribulation was passed, but the recognition of Heaven and Earth had not yet descended.

Heaven and Earth had indeed changed, but it was still lacking a part.

This first person after the ancient times was not something just anyone could be.

"Since everyone is about ready, then Ren will not wait any longer."

"I wish to untie the shackles for all living beings."

Ren Yidao's three bodies returned to one, and he looked up at the firmament.

At this moment, the time had reached dawn, and the eastern sky was already beginning to brighten.

Just at the moment when the sky light broke, when the first ray of morning light sprinkled on the youth and plated him with a golden body... the Ten Directions World-Extinguishing Tribulation, which had already nearly dissipated, descended once again.

Boom, boom, boom!

The world-destroying momentum instantly overwhelmed everyone, causing the entire world to fall into dead silence.

Even the Purple Lightning Thunder Venerable and Daoist Lord Yun Yuan, who had been fighting to the death just moments before, woke from the illusion, looking blankly at the thunderclouds in the sky and the figure standing with hands behind his back to meet the Thunder Tribulation.

They looked at the disheveled faces of their opponents and then at their own, instantly understanding what had happened.

They had fallen for an Illusion Technique!!!

After realizing they had been caught in an Illusion Technique, the two were filled with immense horror, and as they looked at each other, they both saw the bitterness in each other's eyes.

"..."

They could never have imagined that their opponent could actually create such an overwhelming situation for the two of them, treating them almost like toys to be played with for amusement...

Although Ren Yidao seemed to be putting all his energy into undergoing the tribulation at this moment, the two of them did not rush to flee, not daring to act rashly at all.

Ren Yidao's calm voice resonated between Heaven and Earth, falling into the ears of everyone watching this place.

"Extinguish."

The voice fell.

The sun rose, the moon set.

The morning light broke through.

Cleansing away the darkness!

At the same time, countless people, regardless of their cultivation, heard a crisp sound.

Crack.

That shackle covering all living beings...

Shattered with a boom!
