Chapter 133: with translation of chapter title

In the vast cosmos, the starry void was filled with desolation and silence, at the moment when the heavenly domains formed from the imperial bodies of the Tongtian Cult Master and the Lingbao Treasure Venerable merged.

Interpretation: In the vast universe's starry sky, filled with desolation and deathly silence, at the moment when the heavenly domains formed from the imperial bodies of Tongtian Jiaozhu and Lingbao Tianzun merged.

"In the vast universe's starry sky, filled with desolation and deathly silence, at the moment when the heavenly domains formed from the imperial bodies of Tongtian Jiaozhu and Lingbao Tianzun merged."

We need to keep as one line.

A terrifying sword intent suddenly rose, sweeping across the entire starry sky in an instant, awakening cultivator after cultivator in the nearby star fields.

Translation: "A terrifying sword intent suddenly rose, instantly sweeping across the entire starry sky, awakening one cultivator after another in the nearby star regions."

One after another powerful cultivator gazed toward the extraterritorial starry sky; streams of divine sense instinctively rose, scanning in the direction from which the sword intent swept, seeking to investigate the source of this sword intent.

Translation: "One powerful cultivator after another looked toward the extraterritorial starry sky, and strands of divine sense instinctively rose, sweeping in the direction from which the sword intent came, seeking to investigate its source."

But in the next moment, all the cultivators' hearts trembled, and they were instantly shocked by a towering figure in the starry sky.

Note there is a duplicate of the particle 'de'. We'll translate as is: "But in the next moment, all the cultivators' hearts trembled, and they were instantly shocked by a towering figure in the starry sky."

Only a vague, indescribable figure appeared in the universe, standing upon the sea of stars, seeming even taller than the entire starry sky.

Translation: "Only a hazy figure impossible to describe in words appeared in the universe, standing upon the star sea, seeming even taller than the entire starry sky."

Vast star regions seemed merely parts of his body; star rivers were his adornments, star seas his backdrop, and each ancient star before him was not even worth a speck of dust.

Translation: "Vast star regions seemed merely parts of his body, the star rivers his adornments, the star sea his backdrop, and each ancient star before him was not even worth a speck of dust."

How is that possible?

An Emperor?

In this age, the Great Dao suppresses; how could an Emperor still exist in this world?

Voices of astonishment rang out; the powerful beings of the nearby star realms were all drawn to this figure in the starry sky, their hearts filled with disbelief.

Translation: "Voices of astonishment rang out, and the powerhouses of the nearby star regions were all drawn to that figure in the starry sky, giving rise to incredulous thoughts in their hearts."

Boom

Before they could recover from the shock of the towering figure in the starry sky, terrifying waves of divine sense swept across the cosmos, making the entire universe tremble.

Translation: "Before they could recover from the shock of that towering figure in the starry sky, terrifying strands of divine sense swept across the starry sky, making the entire universe tremble."

Wherever the divine sense passed, all cultivators felt an involuntary submission from deep within; even great sages and quasi-emperors had no power to resist.

Translation: "Wherever those divine senses passed, all cultivators felt an inner urge to submit; even Great Sages and Quasi-Emperors had no power to resist."

This was the divine sense of the supremes from the life-restricted zones, powerful to the extreme.

Translation: "These were the divine senses of the Supremes from the Life Forbidden Zone, powerful to the extreme."

In the next moment, cries of alarm rang out one after another:

Lingbao Tianzun?

How is that possible?

Lingbao Tianzun had already perished in the endless ages past, his imperial body having merged into the universe and become part of its heavenly domains—how could he possibly return?

Impossible!

One after another, the supremes' divine sense surged uncontrollably, rippling through the cosmic starry sky and causing the entire universe to tremble.

Translation: "Strands of divine sense from the Supremes fluctuated uncontrollably, echoing through the cosmic starry sky, causing the entire universe to shake."

Even those supremes from the life-restricted zones who once swept across the universe now gazed in utter astonishment at the towering figure standing in the cosmos, their hearts filled with an incredulous, absurd feeling.

Translation: "Even those Supremes from the Life Forbidden Zone who once swept across the universe now gazed in utter astonishment at the towering figure standing in the cosmos, their hearts filled with an incredulous, absurd feeling."

You must know, this is Lingbao Tianzun, who in legend quelled the corpse calamity and possibly even slew a true immortal!

Translation: "You must know that this is Lingbao Tianzun, who, according to legend, quelled the corpse calamity and possibly even slew a true Immortal!"

What's more, many supremes clearly knew that this venerable one had completely perished, his imperial body transformed into various secret realms.

Translation: "More importantly, all the Supremes knew that this Heavenly Venerable had completely perished, his imperial body having transformed into various secret realms."

Now such an existence has actually returned against heaven—how could it not shock many supremes, even to the point of being terrifying?

Translation: "Now such a being has actually returned against heaven—how could the many Supremes not be shocked, even to the point of being horrified?"

Could this ancient venerable one have already become an immortal?

Translation: "Could this ancient Heavenly Venerable have already become an Immortal?"

This thought arose in their minds, and streams of divine sense instinctively reached out toward that towering figure in the universe, seeking to ascertain the other's current state.

Translation: "This thought arose in their minds, and strands of divine sense instinctively reached out toward that towering figure in the universe, seeking to ascertain his current state."

Hum

At that moment, the towering figure standing in the starry sky suddenly opened its eyes, within which endless scenes of destruction rose and fell, as if containing a doomsday universe that had evolved to its end.

Translation: "At that moment, the towering figure standing in the starry sky suddenly opened his eyes, within which endless scenes of destruction rose and fell, as if containing a doomsday universe that had evolved to its end."

Get lost!

Sensing the divine sense probing him from around, the Tongtian Cult Master's aura shifted, and he let out a cold, fierce shout.

Translation: "Sensing the divine senses around him probing him, Tongtian Jiaozhu's aura shifted, and he let out a cold, fierce shout."

The roar shook heaven and earth; wherever it passed, invisible ripples swept across the starry sky, carrying a terrifying sword intent that could annihilate all things, instantly obliterating every divine sense.

Translation: "The shout shook heaven, earth, and the universe; wherever it passed, invisible ripples swept across the starry sky, carrying a terrifying sword intent that could annihilate all things, instantly obliterating every strand of divine sense."

Ugh!

Groans echoed; the supremes of the forbidden zones who had extended their divine sense only felt as if a great cosmos' destruction appeared before them, their minds seemingly torn apart, and the divine sense they had sent out turned directly into nothing.

Translation: "Groans rang out; the Supremes of the forbidden zones who had extended their divine sense only felt as if a great cosmos' destruction appeared before them, their minds seemingly torn apart, and the divine sense they had sent out turned directly into nothingness."

Impudent!

Lingbao, you're courting death!

Playing tricks!

Angry shouts rang out, but before the words could finish, the voices of all the supremes suddenly cut off, leaving no further sound.

Translation: "Strands of angry shouts rang out, but before the words could finish, the voices of all the Supremes suddenly cut off, leaving no further sound."

Sword light!

Four vast sword lights, like heavenly pillars, appeared in the universe, surrounding the towering figure's sides and emanating a chilling, terrifying killing intent.

Translation: "Four vast sword lights like heavenly pillars appeared in the universe, surrounding the sides of that towering figure, emitting a terrifying killing intent that made one tremble."

At the same time, a diagram formed of countless sword patterns appeared beneath the figure's feet, linked to the qi of the four killing swords, together constituting a supreme sword formation.

Translation: "At the same time, a diagram formed of countless sword patterns appeared beneath his feet, connected to the qi of the four killing swords, together constituting a supreme sword formation."

Merely sensing the concealed, terrifying killing intent of that sword formation, the spiritual awareness of many supremes from the life-restricted zones went into frantic alarm, vaguely sensing a tremendous danger.

Translation: "Merely sensing the concealed terrifying killing intent of that sword formation, the spiritual awareness of many Supremes from the Life Forbidden Zone went into frantic alarm, vaguely sensing a huge danger."

That is an imperial formation, and moreover a pure killing formation!

Translation: "That is an imperial formation, and moreover a pure killing formation!"

Slay Immortal Sword Formation!

All the supremes' hearts stirred, and instantly the name of this world-renowned terrifying killing formation surfaced in their minds.

Translation: "The hearts of all the Supremes stirred, and instantly the name of this world-renowned terrifying killing formation surfaced."

It is said that the Lingbao Treasure Venerable, relying on this killing formation, swept across the universe and even slew a true immortal.

Translation: "It is said that Lingbao Tianzun, relying on this killing formation, swept across the universe and even slew a true Immortal."

Originally, many supremes thought this was merely hearsay, after all, whether true immortals actually exist in this world is uncertain even for those who once dominated the cosmos.

Translation: "Originally, many Supremes thought this was merely a rumor, after all, they themselves were not certain whether true Immortals even existed in this world, despite having once pushed across the universe."

But now, facing this terrifying killing formation and sensing the dreadful killing intent within, many supremes faintly felt that the rumor might indeed be true.

Translation: "But today, facing this terrifying killing formation and sensing the terrifying killing intent within, many Supremes vaguely felt that the rumor might perhaps be true."

Thinking of this, the supremes who had been fuming with rage suddenly fell silent.

Translation: "Thinking this, the Supremes who had been furious suddenly fell silent all at once."

Everyone simply watched silently the towering figure and the terrifying sword formation beside him, refraining from any further probing lest they provoke this strange, resurrected Lingbao Treasure Venerable.

Translation: "Everyone merely silently watched that towering figure and the terrifying killing formation at his side, refraining from actively probing anything, lest they provoke this eerily resurrected Lingbao Tianzun."

They were not afraid of the Lingbao Treasure Venerable or that killing formation; after all, those capable of becoming emperors are the paramount powers of their age, holding the beliefs of supreme supremacy and invincibility.

Translation: "They were not afraid of Lingbao Tianzun nor that killing formation; after all, those capable of becoming Emperors are the supreme powerhouses of an era, holding the belief of sole supremacy and invincibility."

However, the path to immortality has not yet opened, and it is not yet their time to emerge; they do not wish to waste their limited lifespans on this.

Translation: "However, the path to immortality has not yet opened, and it is not yet the time for them to truly emerge into the world; they do not wish to waste their limited lifespans on this."

For them now, the road to immortality is paramount, already an obsession; everything else can be discarded.

Translation: "For them now, the path to immortality is the most important, having become their obsession; everything else can be discarded."

Hmph!

Sensing the retreat of the many supremes from the life-restricted zones, the Tongtian Cult Master let out a disdainful cold snort, making them inwardly angry, though he said nothing more.

Translation: "Sensing the retreat of the many Supremes from the Life Forbidden Zone, Tongtian Jiaozhu let out a disdainful cold snort, making them feel a surge of anger, though he said nothing more."

Seeing this, the Tongtian Cult Master no longer paid them any heed, but continued to stand firm in the starry sky, circulating his own status and absorbing the special qi continually gathering from the universe.

Translation: "Seeing this, Tongtian Jiaozhu no longer paid them any heed, but continued to stand in the starry sky, circulating his own status and absorbing the special qi continually gathering from the universe."

As time passed, his aura continually shifted, becoming ever more inscrutable and increasingly attuned to this universe.

Translation: "With the passage of time, his aura continually changed, becoming ever more inscrutable and ever more in tune with this universe."

Meanwhile, as he absorbed this universe's qi, the innate special concept he carried merged ever more deeply, causing subtle adjustments to his aura; the sense of cosmic doom grew stronger, and the sword formation shifted accordingly, leaving the entire universe faintly wailing.

Translation: "Meanwhile, as he absorbed this universe's qi, the certain special concept inherent to him merged ever deeper, causing his aura to undergo subtle adjustments, making the feeling of cosmic culmination ever stronger; the sword formation likewise changed, letting the entire universe emit a faint wail."

In the mental realm.

Feng Yi's mind paid no heed to the outside world, instead connecting with the inheritance of the Lingbao Treasure Venerable and beginning to comprehend the true meaning it contained.

Translation: "Feng Yi's mind paid no heed to the outside world, but instead connected with Lingbao Tianzun's inheritance, beginning to comprehend the true meaning contained therein."

Killing immortals brings advantage, slaying immortals brings death, trapping immortals makes red light appear everywhere, severing immortals brings endless marvelous transformations, the blood of Great Luo immortals stains their robes.

This is a description of the song formula for Tongtian Jiaozhu's Zhu Xian Sword Formation among the rumors of the Longevity Realm.

And now, Feng Yi will see what mysteries lie within the inheritance of this special Tongtian Jiaozhu that fuses two worlds, possibly even more than two worlds.

Boom

At the moment his mind and spirit connected with the inheritance, Feng Yi's vision blurred, and he suddenly found himself in a special realm of heaven and earth.

Clang!

Before he could fully adapt to this realm, a clear, ringing sword cry sounded, and a pure, bright green longsword appeared between heaven and earth.

'Zhu Xian Sword'

Just as this thought arose in his mind, the green longsword slashed down at him, carrying an inexplicable qi.

Where the sword passed, Feng Yi suddenly felt the surrounding heaven and earth grow sluggish, even his thoughts seemed to stall.

The next instant, the sword light pierced straight through his body, leaving him no time to even think of resisting.

In soundless silence, his entire being turned to nothing, as if all traces were erased, past and future no longer existing.

'This is.'

The insight of the Destiny Divine Ability surfaced in his heart, resonating with his current state, letting Feng Yi understand the mystery of this sword.

This is the Time-Slaying Sword!

Hum

The moment he grasped the mystery of this sword, time seemed to reverse, and his whole self reappeared in this realm.

Countless insights surfaced in his mind and spirit, containing part of the secrets of the Four Extremes Secret Realm.

As if sensing something, Feng Yi turned his gaze and discovered countless Dao patterns appearing on one of his arms, like sword markings.

Clang!

At the same time, a dark-black longsword appeared, and the whole heaven and earth turned illusory, as if containing endless space.

Upon seeing this sword, Feng Yi felt the emergence of the Gate Divine Ability he mastered, overlapping with the scene before him, vaguely letting him also grasp the mystery of this sword.

This is the Space-Slaying Sword!

As the sword fell, mysterious Dao patterns also appeared on his other arm, and his understanding of the Four Extremes Secret Realm deepened somewhat.

Thereafter, a pure-white Slaughter Immortal Sword and a crimson-red Entrap Immortal Sword appeared between heaven and earth; the Slaughter Immortal Sword is a material-slaying sword, the foundation of all things and capable of shattering myriad phenomena, while the Entrap Immortal Sword represents an energy-slaying sword, containing the source of the evolution of laws.

Each time a sword qi fell, it left a special Dao mark on Feng Yi's limbs, containing part of the Four Extremes Secret Realm's mysteries, giving him a fresh insight into his own Four Extremes path.

Hum

When Feng Yi had fully absorbed the inheritance of the four sword lights, red, green, black, and white sword lights all appeared in heaven and earth, continually intertwining.

The four sword lights seemed to be manifestations of time, space, matter, and energy, and also manifestations of the innate four aspects of earth, water, fire, and wind, containing the most essential mysteries of the Great Dao between heaven and earth.

The four-colored sword lights intertwined, time and space became one, matter and energy merged, evolving into endless scenes of chaos and destruction, directly leading the whole world toward conclusion and annihilation.

Chaos spread unceasingly, as if time had accelerated by tens of thousands of folds; after an unknown span, the entire world completely turned into a void.

Feng Yi's mind and spirit merged with the whole world, as if also directly heading toward conclusion and annihilation; relying on this state he fully comprehended the feeling of the cosmic end.

However, in this state that seemed like total extinction, completely reduced to nothing, Feng Yi gained the most essential insight into his Four Extremes Secret Realm and thoroughly understood his own Four Extremes path.

Conclusion!

If one's Wheel Sea Secret Realm represents the beginning of all things, the One of the Great Dao, then it is Chaos, the opening of heaven and earth.

Then one's Four Extremes Secret Realm is the manifestation of the innate four aspects, the interweaving of earth, water, wind, and fire, the evolution of time, space, matter, and energy, the end of all things, the ultimate conclusion.

Hum

The moment he comprehended his own path, Feng Yi's mind and spirit returned directly, a special feeling arose and sank straight into his mental sea.

In an instant, various information appeared in his mental sea, as if countless deities were chanting sutras; the information incessantly collided, recombined, and fused.

Originally contained in the Fuxi seal were the ancient scriptures of Emperor Fuxi, insights from the Heavenly Stele Mystic Law, the Dao principles within the Immortal Divine Elixir, and, most importantly, the inheritance of the Lingbao Heavenly Venerable.

Runes appeared one after another, Dao patterns flowed and intertwined, constantly colliding, integrating, and renewing within Feng Yi's mind and spirit, forming a path unique to his own Four Extremes Secret Realm.

As his path began to take shape, his qi mechanism continually changed, ascending to a new level.
