Chapter 595: The Seventh Ultimate Realm!

After parting with Feng Caichen, Ye Wuque alone stepped onto the road of cultivation in the wider region of the No Return Path.

This walk lasted fifty years.

Fifty years, for mortals, is half a lifetime;

for cultivators, it is merely the time of a single retreat or a moment of enlightenment.

But for Ye Wuque, these fifty years were the crucial fifty years in which his strength leapt again and he was reborn.

The No Return Path, a place representing the Great Terror and Great Despair of the Zhutian Wanjie, is also a Trial Ground brimming with endless opportunities and trials.

Every inch of Void here may hide a terrifying killing intent capable of easily extinguishing the Immortal King.

Every region here may be occupied by a bizarre existence that has survived since the Primordial Era.

The eternally undispersed Black Fog, the ever‑present aura of despair, and the lurking Bane Creatures together form the terrifying undertone of this Line: Dead Silence land.

Yet, in such an environment, Ye Wuque, like a phoenix reborn from fire, broke his limits again and again, surpassing himself each time.

He traversed every forbidden zone of the No Return Path—

Some forbidden zones were suffused with Jiemie dead qi that could corrode the Dao Ancestor Primordial.

Ye Wuque sat in meditation there for three years, using the Undying Indestructible Divine King Art to absorb the dead qi, temper his flesh, and hammer his Blood Qi into a more refined, purer state.

Some forbidden zones were filled with chaotic, raging Time‑Space Turbulence.

Ye Wuque fought against the turbulence there with the Time‑Space Great Dao Domain, perceiving deeper principles of Space‑Time Power, and made the prototype of the domain in that wasteland more stable and expansive.

Some forbidden zones sealed the supreme battle will of the ancient era.

Ye Wuque used battle will to trigger battle will, confronting combat instinct with combat instinct, slashing the lingering battle‑will imprint thousands upon thousands of times, each time deepening his comprehension of combat.

Some forbidden zones harbored Bane Great Beings at the peak of the Dao Ancestor Realm.

Ye Wuque proactively sought them out, engaging in life‑and‑death struggles.

In those fifty years, the Bane Dao Ancestors he slew numbered no fewer than twenty!

Each battle was a test of life and death; each battle was a leap in power!

His fearsome name, during those fifty years, spread like wildfire across vast stretches of the No Return Path!

The three characters "Ye Wuque" have become a taboo in certain Ominous Faction circles.

Mention the name, and those once arrogant, overbearing Bane Creatures cannot help but tremble and shrink back!

It is said that when a Bane Dao Ancestor Realm Absolute Peak learned Ye Wuque was near its domain, it fled in terror overnight, unwilling to oppose him!

It is said that a Bane Supreme‑level existence once declared it would spare no cost to exterminate Ye Wuque, yet each time it struck, Ye Wuque sensed it in advance, slipped away calmly, and even managed to slay several Dao Ancestors in the process!

It is said that a Bane Ancient Entity sighed: "If this child is not eliminated, he will become a serious internal threat!"

And Ye Wuque's battle record likewise spread throughout the Zhutian Wanjie factions.

Those ancient beings guarding the No Return Path everywhere all looked at him with newfound respect and great praise.

Ye Shizu, Jiang Tianyan, Tianling Laozu and others, whenever they hear the latest news about Ye Wuque, display a satisfied smile.

In these fifty years, Ye Wuque forged a formidable reputation.

Yet fame has never been his pursuit.

His pursuit is strength.

The strength truly sufficient to protect the ones he wishes to protect in the future Ultimate Decisive Battle.

And on the day fifty years later—

He finally achieved it.

……

This day.

Deep within a terrifying and dead‑silence forbidden zone of the No Return Path.

Here lies an important stronghold of the Ominous Faction, once home to three Bane Dao Ancestor Realm Absolute Peaks and thousands of Bane Creatures.

At this moment, this forbidden zone has been completely turned into a dead zone.

The three Bane Dao Ancestor Realm Absolute Peaks lie without a trace of corpse.

The thousands of Bane Creatures have turned to ash.

Even the terrifying seals and bizarre formations of this zone have been utterly erased.

The initiator of all this—

Now stands proudly in the Void at the center of the forbidden zone.

Black robe fluttering, black hair draped over his shoulders, figure upright as a pine.

It is Ye Wuque!

Yet the Ye Wuque of now is wholly different from the one fifty years ago!

The aura around him is no longer the previously strong yet perceptible layer, but has become as deep as an abyss and as vast as an ocean!

It is as if his very existence has already merged with Heaven and Earth, with Tiandao, with the ever‑present rules of the void!

His eyes, deep as an ancient starry abyss, seem to contain the sun, moon, stars, mountains, rivers, and the Wan Gu Lun Hui slowly revolving within.

Within those eyes, no sharp brilliance shines, only a calm that returns to simplicity, where all laws converge into one.

Yet this calm is more terrifying than any sharp brilliance.

Because it signifies—

He has ascended to the Absolute Peak!

Ye Wuque stands with his hands behind his back, his gaze piercing layers of Void, looking toward the endless dark depths.

A faint smile slowly curls at the corner of his mouth.

In that smile lies contentment, emotion, a retrospective glance at past years, and deep gratitude toward that mentor‑friend existence.

He whispers to himself, his voice plain yet filled with boundless feeling:

"Empty…"

"You said, the path of the Human King is long; never be impatient."

"I have done it."

He paused slightly, his eyes becoming distant as if piercing through time and space, seeing the transcendent Dark Shadow from back then that had guided him at a crucial juncture:

"Eleventh‑step ultimate Saint King, I have reached the end."

"Human King Extreme Realm—Extreme Path Space, I have achieved it."

"The utmost perfection, I have attained."

He paused again, his voice continuing, as if reporting his cultivation results to that Dark Being:

"You also said, the Tongtian path is long; never be impatient."

"I have also done it."

"Tongtian Eighteen Realms, each realm a creation, each realm defying Heaven…"

"Step by step, I have walked to the utmost."

He slowly raised his hand, looking at his palm.

The palm was fair and slender, appearing no different from an ordinary person's, yet the power it contained could make any existence at the peak of the Dao Ancestor Realm instantly despair.

"Now…"

He whispered, his voice carrying a trace of heartfelt joy and pride:

"I have attained the seventh Extreme Realm—"

"Heavenly Penetrating Extreme Realm… Eternal Ascending to Heaven!"

The moment his words fell—

"Buzz—!!!"

His surrounding aura suddenly erupted!

That aura was no longer his former bright and firm pale golden Blood Qi, but a brand‑new, more mysterious, deeper power!

That power seemed to come from the end of the Heavenly Dao, yet also from the beginning of Fate.

It contains the supreme will of "Man Defeats Heaven," the ultimate conviction of "Defying Heaven," and the eternal heroic spirit of "My destiny is determined by me, not by Heaven!"

This is precisely—

Heavenly Penetrating Extreme Realm!

Eternal Ascending to Heaven!
