Chapter 177

Beneath the ninety-nine stone steps of the other realm.

The three Supreme Ancestral Gods shuddered all over, their eyes like blazing flames, emitting an awe-inspiring aura, yet their whole bodies seemed frozen in place.

After a long while, they slowly came to their senses, disbelief showing in their eyes.

"An almost invincible stone-person killing machine was destroyed just like that!"

"Just one punch!"

"How is that possible?"

"The Fuxi of the Nine Provinces is clearly a flesh-and-blood body, so why is his physical form so powerful!"

The three Supreme Ancestral Gods glanced at each other, a trace of uncontrollable fear rising in their hearts.

As the controllers of this war stone person, they all knew the might of this war machine.

Although its intellect had been erased, and precisely because of that, it felt no fear, only pure destructive and murderous instinct, its frontal combat strength was somewhat greater than that of an ordinary stone person.

And such a terrifying war machine was actually slain by a frontal punch from the Nine Provinces' mysterious Fuxi!

This scene simply surpassed their imagination.

If the opponent had killed this war machine with divine-ability law power, they might not have been so shocked.

But this Fuxi is clearly just a flesh-and-blood body, obviously not having taken the stone-person path, so why is his physical form so strong that he can head-on clash with a war machine forged from stone persons?

"Another existence like the Martial Ancestor of the Nine Provinces!"

In the minds of the three Supreme Ancestral Gods involuntarily arose the image of that Nine Provinces cultivator who walked a unique martial path, able to withstand them, the Supreme Ancestral Gods, with his ancestral-god body.

Although that Martial Ancestor and today's Fuxi followed different paths, their performances share some similarities.

Both are flesh-and-blood bodies, yet their physical forms are strong to the extreme.

Even to some extent, this present Fuxi is more terrifying than the Martial Ancestor of old.

After all, the Martial Ancestor of old could only match them, the Supreme Ancestral Gods, but now this Fuxi directly slammed a single punch to slay a true stone-person war machine.

Thinking of this, a chill involuntarily rose in the hearts of the three.

Even the stone persons famed for their strong bodies, after being refined into war machines, cannot withstand this Fuxi's frontal punch, let alone these Supreme Ancestral Gods who walk the path of divine-sense transmutation.

The three Supreme Ancestral Gods felt a premonition that if they themselves were to take a frontal punch from this Fuxi, they would likely die even more cleanly than that stone-person war machine.

"This is a brand-new system stronger than the martial way created by the Nine Provinces' Martial Ancestor of old!"

After a long while, one Supreme Ancestral God opened his eyes coldly and said: "No wonder he is the most mysterious god of the Nine Provinces; this powerhouse named Fuxi of the Nine Provinces has likely embarked on a completely new cultivation path, one different from the stone-person path and the Supreme Ancestral God path, yet his battle prowess is in no way inferior, a special road!"

Saying this, his eyes involuntarily showed a hint of sentiment as he said: "The Nine Provinces truly are a land that produces outstanding heroes; all kinds of heaven-defying stronglings keep appearing, no wonder the primeval ancestors valued the Nine Provinces so highly—we indeed previously underestimated the Nine Provinces!"

"Hmph!"

Hearing his sentiment, another Supreme Ancestral God let out a cold snort and spoke indifferently: "Why bother boosting others' morale? The Nine Provinces' kings of old were mighty, yet they still fell to the hands of the primeval ancestors, becoming stepping stones for the primeval ancestors' march to supremacy; now it's merely a mere Fuxi comparable to a Supreme Ancestral God—could he still defy heaven? As long as we awaken our realm's foundation, we can easily sweep over the Nine Provinces, slay the opposition, and turn it again into our realm's testing ground!"

"That's right."

The last Supreme Ancestral God said: "In the face of absolute strength, a mere Fuxi cannot stir any waves."

Saying this, his eyes lit up slightly and he spoke eagerly: "Perhaps after this, our realm will gain yet another brand-new cultivation system, which for us is also a great opportunity!"

After the Martial Ancestor of old was slain by them, the martial way he created became their world's spoils, which they then renewed and transformed into their world's accumulation, cultivating one powerful martial practitioner after another for their world.

Now the cultivation system created by this Fuxi of the Nine Provinces is clearly above the martial way; even they, the Supreme Ancestral Gods, cannot see through it, and it is strong to the extreme.

If they could slay this Fuxi and obtain his powerful cultivation system that he created, their world could gain another new cultivation system, deepening its foundation.

More importantly, this brand-new system clearly leans toward the path of the flesh-and-blood sovereign, requiring no incarnation as a stone city, and perhaps it could help these three Supreme Ancestral Gods who have been stagnating, serving as further provisions for their advancement.

As thoughts turned in their minds, at that moment the three seemed to discover something, their eyes shifted, and their faces instantly changed dramatically.

"Courting death!"

A furious shout rang out, and a terrifying aura surpassing the ancestral gods rose from their bodies, causing the entire void to resonate continuously.

The next instant, their breaths instantly merged, as if directly fusing into one, becoming a single entity.

"The Seven Divine Songs unite, the melody reaches its pinnacle!"

A low, resounding voice echoed from one Supreme Ancestral God's mouth, vast power sweeping over, instantly penetrating the void and shaking Chaos.

Unlike the bodily transmutation of the stone-person path, the Supreme Ancestral God's path requires comprehending the changes in the myriad-heavens' origin laws, causing one's divine sense to undergo a completely new transmutation and elevation, forming a unique supreme divine ability.

The Seven Divine Songs now unleashed by this Supreme Ancestral God are precisely the unique supreme divine ability he comprehended upon entering the Supreme Ancestral God realm and contemplating the myriad-heavens' origin laws.

The Seven Divine Songs contain power surpassing the ancestral gods, each piece stronger than the last; when the seven unite, the forbidden chapter that follows possesses the terrifying might to briefly pierce spacetime and shake past and future.

Now, with the three Supreme Ancestral Gods' auras united, jointly unleashing this forbidden divine ability, it becomes terrifying to the extreme.

Boom

The Seven Divine Songs unite, the melody reaches its pinnacle, the forbidden chapter's supreme power instantly pierces spacetime, sweeping toward the Nine Provinces.

In the chaotic void outside the barrier of the Nine Provinces' great world.

Everyone stared blankly at the dark-robed figure that seemed to be at the center of heaven and earth, the whole battlefield appearing as a frozen scroll.

Whether it be Shennong and the other Nine Provinces powerhouses, or the ancestral gods of the other realm, their minds at this moment continually conjured the image of that earthen-yellow giant's appearance just now, displaying the terrifying aura that made their hearts tremble, as well as the shocking sight of him turning to ash.

The two images kept alternating, leaving them completely unable to think.

Yet under everyone's gaze, Feng Yi's whole person was completely immersed in a special state, feeling only that the power within his body was constantly undergoing a new transmutation, becoming ever purer, vaguely accompanied by a sense of immortality.

"I have directly stepped onto a special mundane-immortal transmutation path!"

As this thought arose in his mind, individual ancient characters emerged from deep within Feng Yi's spirit, exactly the scripture he had once received from Shi Hao for mending the immortal realm.

At the same time, countless Great Dao runes appeared, the incomplete Immortal King's Dao principles contained within the undying divine elixir that Feng Yi obtained when he transmuted together with many undying divine elixirs.

At this moment, each ancient character and the undying divine elixir's Dao principles continually collided, continually transforming and recombining.

Boom

After an unknown span of time, Feng Yi's heart and mind shuddered; he embarked on the stone-person path, turning the entire universe into an ancient city, and the myriad Dao-origin information of a complete universe emerged, directly merging into the ancient characters and Dao principles that were colliding and changing, as if constantly filling and perfecting them.

The cultivation systems and Dao principles of different worlds continually fused and collided, ultimately seeming to become a blurred figure.

Hum

At the moment this figure appeared, one after another grand scriptural sounds echoed from Feng Yi's mind and spirit; there was no specific cultivation method, yet it seemed to contain an insight into the Great Dao that directly points to the essence of the self-as-a-seed system, allowing him to gain a new understanding and insight into the self-as-a-seed system.

The Red Dust Immortal Transformation Path of the Shrouding Heaven Universe is not a truly perfected path; rather, depending on each person's path, insight, and their own circumstances, they will embark on different transformation paths.

It can be said that no one's Red Dust Immortal Path will truly be the same.

Such as Duan De's Nine Reincarnation Seal Path, Hen Ren's Nine Lifetime Body Path, Bu Si's Imperial Blood Bath, the Immortal Phoenix Nirvana Path, and Ye Fan's Nine Transformations Path, and so on.

Essentially, the ultimate goal of the Red Dust Immortal Path is to let oneself become a self-contained universe, capable of self-sufficiency, truly enduring in the world without external longevity substances, and truly achieving immortality.

This is also the reason why, among immortals, the Red Dust Immortal Path is far superior to the True Immortal.

The so-called immortality of the True Immortal relies on the existence of longevity substances; once those substances are lost, the True Immortal will also decay.

But the Red Dust Immortal is different; this is a path that does not rely on external things, capable of achieving true immortality.

Even in the Age of Dharma End, where no longevity substances exist, the Red Dust Immortal can still achieve self-sufficiency and endure in the world.

Now, Feng Yi's true self directly governs a great world, transforming the universe into a city, and embarking on the Stone King Transformation Path unique to himself.

By means of the mysterious connection between the self-and-other system, this body of his, which bears the power of his self-as-a-seed system, also directly steps onto the Red Dust Immortal Transformation Path unique to himself.

'Red Dust Immortal Path.'

Countless insights arose in his mind and spirit, causing Feng Yi's soul to fall into a realm of profound mystery, where he faintly realized his own Red Dust Immortal Path.

Hum

In the mental realm there is no concept of time; it seems like an instant, yet also like after endless ages, Feng Yi's heart trembled, and an inexplicable feeling arose in his mind.

The next moment, his entire aura shifted slightly, carrying a hint of Chaos's vague obscurity, as if it were the primordial Chaos before the universe opened.

'Chaotic Azure Lotus.'

'One Lifetime Becomes the Blue Emperor'

'One Body Becomes Pangu'

'I am the Blue Emperor, and also Pangu'

Thoughts turned in his mind, with a soft 'hum' a vast aura swept across heaven and earth, boundless Chaotic qi surged, enveloping Feng Yi entirely, as if forming a tract of primordial Hongmeng Chaos Void.

Meanwhile, countless insights arose in his mind and spirit, containing Feng Yi's past insights into the Great Dao, which flowed directly through his entire body.

In an instant, his entire body transformed into a chaotic azure lotus radiating endless divine light, its leaves swaying constantly, like a lotus of the Great Dao first nurtured in primordial Hongmeng.

A vast and inscrutable aura rose from Feng Yi's body, causing the Chaotic qi throughout the Chaotic Void to continually gather toward the chaotic azure lotus he had become, directly forming a boundless Chaotic vortex.

At the sight of that Chaotic vortex, everyone's heart trembled, as if they beheld a universe in the process of giving birth to a great realm.
