A person in the heavens, starting with a Chaos Emperor Dao Fruit

Page 505

Finally, Yunhua's divine body was completely burned to ashes, leaving only a wisp of ash in the entire emerald green temple. At that moment, the entire temple fell into complete silence.

"Dead!?" The sword spirit of the divine sword was somewhat stunned. The successor it had waited for for countless years had actually brought about his own demise during the process of cultivation.

"Boom!!"

Just then, a high-pitched phoenix cry came from within the ashes of calamity, followed by a burst of crimson light that shot into the sky. Powerful energy spread rapidly, and a terrifying vitality flowed there.

In that instant, the entire small world erupted in chaos, as if a god had awakened from his slumber. The chaos surrounding the entire Moonlit Pool surged violently in response to his breakthrough.

This boundless chaotic power surged wildly into the Moonlit Pool world as Yunhua underwent her rebirth, and then flowed into Yunhua.

In the dim light, the sword spirit saw a terrifying phoenix, blotting out the sky, emerge from the ashes of calamity. Endless chaotic power surged into its body, frantically transforming into divine power.

"To be reborn in death, to return from annihilation, and to become even stronger!" The spirit of the divine sword sighed softly. "I never expected him to succeed... This cultivation method is many times more extreme than the 'Desolate World God' passed down by my master!!"

"The 'Desolate World God' only seeks the glimmer of life in desolation, not in the face of death; but his method truly advances through death, and one careless move could mean the end."

"However, such an extreme method of burning one's divine body and power to start all over again is indeed worthwhile!" The sword spirit pondered for a moment, a hint of surprise appearing in its eyes.

Each time a divine body breaks through a barrier, the core of the "Dao" used to construct the divine body must not be in conflict. The smaller the conflict, the smaller the hidden danger, and the easier it will be to break through to the Ancestral God Realm.

Chapter 1030 Four Hundred Years in a Hurry

If a Celestial God or True God uses conflicting elements to construct their divine body, then it is almost certain that this person will be unable to advance to the Ancestral God realm.

However, upon witnessing Yunhua's rebirth and his method of starting anew from scratch, the sword spirit immediately understood that this method was unlike anything else.

Even if the Dao core used to break through to the Heavenly God realm and the True God realm are different, there are no hidden dangers in practicing this method.

Because every breakthrough is a complete overhaul, every breakthrough constructs a brand new divine body, a divine body that is completely cut off from all ties with the past. It's as if a new life has begun.

"What an amazing technique! If this technique were to spread to the endless chaotic world, it would be a top-tier technique. A single Nirvana can completely restore one's past wrong paths. Countless cultivators who have gone astray would probably be willing to risk their lives for it," the sword spirit exclaimed.

At this moment, chaos surged within the temple. After an unknown amount of time, life force surged forth, and a brand new phoenix was born in the flames. Each of its divine feathers was like a crimson jewel, flowing with crimson light and radiating brilliant divine light, making it incomparably powerful.

Finally, everything calmed down, and the surging chaos and endless flames dissipated. Yunhua transformed from his phoenix form back into human form and sat down cross-legged once more.

This rebirth has brought him entirely new insights, which he is now fully comprehending.

"This feeling of rebirth, this feeling of burning everything away with flames—this is the answer to the third question I've been searching for!"

Yunhua felt very happy. Having gone through this rebirth, he personally experienced the feeling of his entire body being burned away by flames.

The feeling of burning the power of the blade and the sword, in particular, instantly solved the problem that had been troubling him for so long.

"Boom!!"

At this moment, the power of the blade and the sword surged forth, and a mysterious Tai Chi diagram appeared on his body. The power of the blade and the sword transformed into the Yin-Yang fish of the Tai Chi, and then suddenly merged into his fire power.

In an instant, flames surged all over his body, and the fire power of the fourth realm erupted at this moment. After merging with the power of the sword and saber, the originally golden fire power was now tinged with a layer of crimson and silver-white...

"I never expected that one breakthrough would solve two difficult problems... This is the new power of fire!" Yun Hua raised his hand, and a strange flame appeared in his palm.

As soon as the flame appeared, the void hissed and crackled, like swords slicing through the air.

But all the power is completely contained within the flames, held back without being released.

However, Yunhua understood that once this flame erupted, it would be earth-shattering; even a small spark could instantly annihilate a celestial being.

"Only one question remains!"

"Now that I've become a true god, I'll call this method of refining the body of gods and demons the 'Nirvana Divine Body'!" Yunhua gathered all his insights from his breakthrough, and after reorganizing and revising them, he transformed them into a method of refining the body of gods and demons.

This method, with his own phoenix "rebirth" as the core, and referencing many divine and demonic body-refining methods such as "The Desolate World God" and "The Crimson Bright Nine Heavens Diagram", is a masterpiece he completed.

Of course, this method is currently only perfected to the True God realm; the higher levels of Ancestral God and World God realms have not yet been perfected. This will only be completed when Yunhua cultivates to the Ancestral God and World God realms in the future.

"After advancing to True God, my speed in refining the divine sword has also increased significantly. At the current refining speed, I will be able to leave this place with the divine sword in at most two hundred years." Yun Hua glanced at the divine sword Zi Guang Qiong not far away, and he clearly felt that his speed in refining the divine sword had increased by a lot.

Although refining the divine sword relies on mental strength, even if mental strength doesn't increase significantly, but only physical strength does, the refining process can still be accelerated.

"My divine body is complete; my unique Nirvana Divine Body is now perfected. The power of swords and blades has also been successfully integrated into my fire power. The speed of refining the divine sword has also increased significantly. Now there is only one thing left—the Thousand Body Holy Scripture."

Yunhua then turned her gaze to the last hurdle she was about to face.

“However, during Nirvana, I already thought of a good way to improve the ‘Thousand Bodies Holy Scripture’!” Yunhua said softly.

Once the "Thousand Bodies Holy Scripture" is mastered, its power is unparalleled. It can create a thousand physical clones that are no less powerful than the original body, which is equivalent to having a thousand extra lives.

What's even more terrifying is that as long as one clone survives, it's easy to recreate the other clones by consuming only a portion of the resources.

In other words, once the "Thousand Bodies Holy Scripture" is mastered, one not only gains a thousand lives, but these thousand lives can also be regenerated at any time, provided there are enough resources...

“It’s difficult to bypass something like the ‘Heart of the World’ using normal methods, but there is another way to do so. We just need to reduce the applicability of this method,” Yunhua thought to himself.

"The Thousand Bodies Holy Scripture can be cultivated by anyone, as long as the conditions are met; however, by adding some stringent conditions, this secret technique can be modified so that only those who cultivate my Nirvana Divine Body can master it, thereby reducing the difficulty of cultivation and bypassing the Heart of the World..."

Yunhua's idea was simple: to continuously increase the difficulty of cultivating this secret technique, turning it from something applicable to everyone into something only certain special cultivators could cultivate, thereby reducing the difficulty of cultivating this secret technique.

"If it were before, it would probably have been quite difficult, but after a century of hard work and contemplation, I'm still quite confident!"

Yunhua was very confident that he could complete this step before leaving the Moonlit Pool world, because this step was several times easier than he had previously imagined.

Time passed slowly, and Yunhua quietly cultivated and comprehended the space left behind by the Northern World God. In the blink of an eye, two hundred years had passed. At this moment, it had been a full four hundred years since he entered the Moonlit Pool World.

On this day, Yunhua's face lit up with joy. The divine sword had been mostly refined, and he could now take it with him.

I can finally leave Moonlit Pool.

Meanwhile, a series of great battles erupted across the Three Realms.

Near the third peak of Wu Baofeng in the Sword Immortal Realm.

Ji Ning built a thatched hut by himself, facing the sword techniques carved on the mountain peak every day, feeling the sword intent left behind by the Dao Ancestor Fuju, and receiving the baptism of this sword intent every day.

"Whoosh!" On this very day, a streak of light landed next to the thatched hut where Ji Ning was.

Ji Ning sensed everything and immediately turned his head to look over, then smiled and said, "Xia Mang, what brings you here?"

“Ji Ning, you’ve had it easy these past few years, spending all your time here studying swordsmanship,” Xia Mangxun laughed. “This time, your Wu Bao Sword Technique, third chapter, is almost complete, right? Once you’ve mastered it, you’ll be the number one sword immortal of our Chi Ming lineage, and you might even rank among the top sword immortals in the Three Realms.”

"Completion is a long way off!" Ji Ning shook his head. "As for the number one swordsman of the Crimson Bright lineage..."

At this point, Ji Ning sighed and said, "I've only read the third chapter so far. It's said that my master went to see the fourth mountain back then."

Chapter 1031 Achieving True Godhood

My swordsmanship skills may not even match those of my master from four hundred years ago, let alone how powerful he would have become after four hundred years.

"Your master... sigh, Fellow Daoist Jiehuo has disappeared for four hundred years. He didn't even appear during the battle between my Great Xia and the Wujian Sect."

"I also asked my master, but he couldn't figure out where Fellow Daoist Jiehuo was either. He only said that he was very likely to have left the Three Realms," Xia Mangxun sighed.

"If Fellow Daoist Jiehuo were here, we probably wouldn't have lost that battle outside of Great Xia so easily back then." Xia Mangxun sighed. Great Xia was his old lair, which he had cultivated for countless years, but in the end it was still occupied by the people of Wujian Sect.

"Master is really that strong!?" Ji Ning was also taken aback. He hadn't expected Xia Mangxun to have such a high opinion of Yun Hua.

"I only found out afterward that your master is a descendant of the ancient true god Sanshou Daoren. He is very likely in control of the Zhaixing Great World, where there are several extremely powerful gods. With them taking action, that battle will be much easier."

Xia Mangxun looked at Ji Ning, "Didn't you learn the Star-Picking Hand? Don't you know your master's background?"

Ji Ning smiled and said, "When I parted ways with my master, I was still weak, so it's normal that he didn't tell me these things."

"Haha, but if Fellow Daoist Jiehuo were to return now, he would probably be quite shocked. His own disciple has become a Celestial God and a Pure Yang True Immortal. If he hadn't made any progress, he might not even be as good as your disciple." Xia Mangxun couldn't help but laugh.

Ji Ning shook his head and said, "Can I really catch up with my master's cultivation speed?"

“That’s true. Fellow Daoist Jie Huo’s cultivation speed is undoubtedly the fastest in the Three Realms,” Xia Mangxun said with a smile.

“But Xia Mang, you didn’t come to see me just for a casual chat, did you?” Ji Ning suddenly asked.

Xia Mangxun said, "This time, my master has secured an opportunity for you to cultivate the number one divine power in the Three Realms—the Eight-Nine Arcane Technique. That's why I've come to inform you. Your battle achievements over the years are enough to earn you this divine power."

"If you have no further questions, please come with me to see Master!"

"The number one divine power in the Three Realms!" Ji Ning was slightly shocked, then a look of excitement appeared on his face. He nodded immediately and left the Sword Immortal Realm with Xia Mangxun.

This is a flaming star in the endless chaos.

"Buzz!!" Space distorted, and Yunhua's figure suddenly emerged from the distorted space.

"So this is where the exit of the Moonlit Pool world is. After four hundred years, I've finally emerged. Come to think of it, this is the longest I've ever secluded myself in this world."

Bathed in the flames of the stars, Yunhua felt completely at ease, and his insights and research from the past four hundred years welled up in his mind.

"kindness!?"

Just then, Yunhua, who was bathed in flames, suddenly froze. Then, with a roar, the aura of the Heavenly Dao descended upon this place, making the flames on the entire star even more intense.

"So that's how it is! So this is what is called the Heavenly Dao of Fire!" Yunhua understood the Heavenly Dao of Fire in the Three Realms in just a few breaths.

The main reason is that his level of understanding is too high.

Over the centuries that Yunhua spent in the Moonlit Pool world, he gained an extremely profound understanding of the most fundamental power of the Fire Dao, even coming very close to the fifth realm.

Having reached such a profound level, he has now returned to the Three Realms and naturally comprehended the complete Fire Element Heavenly Dao.

At the same time that Yunhua comprehended the Heavenly Dao of Mars, the entire Heavenly Dao also resonated with it.

"Huh!? Another powerful being has comprehended the Heavenly Dao of Fire? Who is it?"

"Hmm, the resonance with the Heavenly Dao, it is the Fire Dao of Heaven, has anyone comprehended it?"

At this moment, countless powerful beings throughout the Three Realms who had comprehended the Heavenly Dao of Fire immediately felt the resonance with the Heavenly Dao, and they all looked at Yunhua, who was sitting cross-legged on the fiery star.

"Hmm, this fellow Daoist seems to be someone I've never seen before. When did such a True God appear in the Three Realms?"

"Is it a true god I've never seen before? Could it be an alien race from the chaos?"

Throughout the Three Realms, countless powerful beings were astonished, for none of them had ever seen Yun Hua before, and they were unaware of when such a true god had appeared in the Three Realms.

"Could they be members of the Wujian Sect? They've been hiding all along, which is why we have no way of knowing?"

"Are they from the Wujian Sect or from our side?"

Many true gods and Dao ancestors exchanged messages, trying to find out Yunhua's origins.

"He is the God of Calamity Fire, no, now he should be called the 'True God of Calamity Fire,' he is on our side, everyone can rest assured!" Just then, the voice transmission of the Crimson Bright Dao Ancestor spread throughout the hearts of everyone in Nuwa's camp.

"The God of Calamity Fire? Hmm, I've heard of that name before. Didn't he only become a god four hundred years ago? How did he comprehend the Heavenly Dao of Fire so quickly?" a Dao Ancestor asked in astonishment.

"What? It took four hundred years to become a celestial god, and now he has already comprehended the Dao of Heaven?" Many true gods and Dao ancestors were shocked.

Each of them spent tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of years, to comprehend the Dao of Heaven. Now, someone has appeared who has comprehended the Dao of Heaven in just four hundred years. This makes them wonder if they have wasted all these years of their lives.

"However, he seems to be pursuing the path of divine and demonic body refinement. Although he is a true god, it is still very difficult for him to advance to the level of ancestral god, and it is almost impossible for him to break through." The other true gods and ancestral gods shook their heads secretly.

"His Qi Refining ability is really poor; he hasn't even transcended tribulation to become an immortal yet!" Many Dao Ancestors were speechless; they had never seen anyone like him before.

Some gods and demons may not have much talent in Qi cultivation, but given their divine and demonic bodies, their Qi cultivation skills are definitely not lacking.

Especially when one cultivates to the True God stage and even comprehends the Heavenly Dao, yet fails to even pass the Heavenly Tribulation in Qi Refining, such speed is indeed somewhat unbelievable.

At this moment, in the Daoist temple of the Crimson Bright Dao Ancestor.

Ji Ning looked at Dao Ancestor Chi Ming with some surprise. Dao Ancestor Chi Ming had only spoken halfway before stopping and then revealing a smile. What was going on?

At this moment, Dao Ancestor Chiming looked at Ji Ning and said, "Just now, your master appeared. He has become a true god and comprehended the Heavenly Dao of Fire. Although we don't know what he has experienced in the past four hundred years, he has been safe and sound."

"Master has appeared!?" Ji Ning was somewhat surprised, then overjoyed.

Meanwhile, on the other side, above the fiery star.

"This is the way of the fire element in the Three Realms..." Yunhua gained a deeper understanding of the Great Dao of Fire in this world, and at the same time, a glimmer of enlightenment emerged in his mind—

"So this is what the way of fire is in this world."

At this very moment——

"Om!"

In an instant, a power emanating from the deepest depths of the endless chaos, the source of fire, descended upon Yunhua; it was a mysterious aura, a terrifying and chilling aura, the aura of "fire".

Chapter 1032 Celestial Immortal

These auras surrounded Yunhua, causing his entire body to turn a deep red color, as if he had transformed into a flame in that instant, a flame capable of burning everything.

When the power of fire reached the fifth realm, it returned to its most primal color—crimson.

At this moment, Yunhua had her eyes closed.

All his insights related to fire were constantly converging in his heart, and finally everything condensed into a crimson "seed," a seed surrounded by countless flames.
