After revealing his trump card, the Daoist of Creation made his move immediately.
"Yunhua! Die! Primordial Parasite, devour the universe!"
As he chanted his incantation, the Creator Daoist opened one palm, and countless tiny beings, resembling insects, dragons, and snakes, yet also like immortal god-kings shrunk a thousand times, poured out from within his palm and pounced towards Yunhua.
This is the Primordial Insect of the 'Primordial Parasitic Technique'. It is not actually an insect, but a talisman, a talisman with spiritual power.
Once these Primordial Worms burrow into other people's bodies, they can devour and completely digest not only flesh and blood, but also true energy, and even soul and memories.
In Yunhua's view, the demonic nature of this supernatural power even surpasses that of the "Devouring Heaven Demon Art"!
It is the culmination of the Daoist of Creation's lifelong pursuit of absolute power.
The power, flesh, blood, and soul consumed by the 'Primordial Parasitic Technique' are completely digested and utilized to the fullest extent, without any aftereffects.
It can be used not only on humans, but can even directly parasitize the universe.
In fact, if it weren't for the Creation Daoist having a limit to his own power, the entire universe would have been completely devoured by him using the 'Primordial Parasitic Technique' back in the Primordial Era.
But faced with such a dangerous supernatural power, Yunhua shook his head.
No matter how mysterious the 'Primordial Parasitic Technique' is, everything ultimately comes down to the comparison of power.
This is a supernatural power used to obtain invincible power, not a supernatural power that is inherently unsolvable.
In reality, there is no truly unsolvable solution in this world.
Even the 'Great Liberation Technique' created by the philosophers, which utilizes the cultivators' instinct to pursue transcendence and can restrain almost all the powerful beings in the world, was calmly neutralized by Yunhua, who saw through its essence.
For these primordial insects, brute force is all they need to overcome skill!
"What a pity! You are not in your true prime, and you cannot truly fight at your peak..."
With a soft sigh, Yunhua raised his hand, clenched his fist, and unleashed a domineering force that shattered everything.
This body not only has a realm no less than the original Creation Daoist, but it is also equivalent to having devoured two equally powerful experts who have reached the pinnacle, and has fused several kings of divine artifacts... With such power at his disposal, what opponent does Yunhua have?
Shattering the 'Primordial Parasitic Technique' with a single punch is absolutely, easily possible!
With raw power, trampling on the rules, Yunhua's punch, carrying boundless domineering force, shattered all the Hongmeng Insects that rushed over!
Even though the Creator Daoist allowed the Primordial Insects to be reborn continuously, Yunhua's determination to kill them remained like a persistent carbuncle, penetrating to their very core and utterly eradicating them.
"Creation Daoist, you should have perished in history long ago. Now, let me bring you to your utter end! Of all the gods in the heavens, I alone am supreme!"
To show his respect, Yunhua went all out, evolving his own Great Dao and manifesting a chaotic universe ruled by all gods. With an invincible will, he threw a punch.
"Such powerful strength, has my 'Primordial Parasitic Technique' been broken? As expected of the 'Variable,' the one who snatched the title of 'Child of the Epoch' from the hands of the other philosophers... Good! Very good! Excellent!"
Seeing that his proud supernatural power had no effect, the Creation Daoist was somewhat shocked, and then he became excited.
"My greatest strength is my invincible power! Watch me cross the other shore with absolute power!"
The Creator Daoist revealed his domineering power in the ancient times and his ability to sweep across all the heavens. One of his fists transformed into the shape of a Creation Boat, buzzing and carrying the power to shatter the world, and crushed over in an instant.
But the difference in power was ultimately insurmountable—"Boom!"
As their fists collided violently, the Creation Daoist's body shattered inch by inch!
"Now, it is no longer my era!" Faced with his defeat, the Daoist of Creation showed no anger or frustration, but rather a carefree expression.
"Since I've lost, I'll accept my defeat. I'm giving you everything I have. With all my strength, let's reach the other side of our dreams!"
As he spoke, all the power of the Creator's 'Child of Origin' body actively merged into Yunhua's body.
At this moment, Yunhua's power increased once again! As if it would increase endlessly.
At the highest point of the Origin Land lies the Tomb of the Philosophers. This is an extremely vast tomb, containing countless checkpoints.
When the philosophers first came to this place, they dug up the graves of all the deceased emperors and imprisoned their remains and remnants here, creating an extremely grand mausoleum.
Since the 'Bridge to the Other Shore' disappeared here at the call of the philosophers.
The Eternal Emperor has been waiting for the arrival of the 'Child of the Epoch'—whoever it may be!
At this moment, the Eternal Emperor, who was watching from afar, sighed softly, "Brother Creation is dead too! Another comrade who lived from the Primordial Era has vanished... The Other Shore! The Other Shore!..."
The voice was unusually old, carrying the vicissitudes of countless years.
"Boom!" At this moment, a loud bang suddenly came from the core of the tomb of the philosophers.
A large hole appeared in the space, and a figure that seemed to be the center of the universe, with an aura of control over all things, stepped out from it.
With such a vast difference in power, after killing the Creation Daoist with two punches, Yunhua familiarized himself with his increased strength for a while, and then made a move to break through the void, directly shattering the spacetime barrier formed by the arrays set up by the various philosophers. With unparalleled power, he blasted through all obstacles and appeared here.
Chapter 427 The Immortal Emperor
The powerful force radiated in all directions, seemingly trying to burst this void!
In the center of this void was a hazy, boundless river of time. On the bank of this river, the Eternal Emperor stood quietly, looking towards Yunhua.
"Emperor of Immortality, I've come to find you!" Yun Hua burst into this place, his power suppressing the surroundings as he entered the space. At the same time, his gaze fell directly on Emperor of Immortality, the strongest being of the ancient times, who was sitting leisurely in the void.
Now, in this ancient land of origin, in this vast universe, the two most powerful beings have finally met.
Sensing the other's presence, he couldn't help but shake his head slightly, "Although your projection still possesses great supernatural powers, I can't help but feel a sense of regret..."
Upon hearing Yunhua's appearance, the Eternal Emperor asked, "What's there to regret?"
"You and the Daoist of Creation are no longer at your peak! I am ultimately unable to have a truly exhilarating battle with such powerful individuals as you!"
"Haha!" The Longevity Emperor laughed instead: "Back then, I predicted that at the end of this era, a 'Yi' who transcends the other shore would appear."
“I never imagined that both Brother Creation and I miscalculated in this era. What has come here is not the exchange of sons, but an unprecedented variable…” The Longevity Emperor spoke first. He looked at Yun Hua, a hint of amazement in his eyes. “I never imagined that even the philosophers would be defeated by you, that the Bridge to the Other Shore would be destroyed by you, and that Brother Creation would also die.”
This first person of the ancient times did not appear weathered or old, but rather somewhere between middle age and prime. His smile was completely natural, embodying the natural way of the Dao. His smile could even be visualized by powerful cultivators, thereby enhancing their cultivation.
“Thousands of years ago, I fought against the philosophers, and I ultimately prevailed. However, they were very dissatisfied, saying that they still had one last ‘son’ yet to be born, and that when the ‘son of the changed’ appears at the end of the era, I will certainly be no match for them and will be able to completely defeat me…”
As he spoke, a hint of anticipation appeared on the face of the Longevity Emperor.
"Although Yunhua, you were not expected by the philosophers and were a 'variable,' after you defeated the author of the Book of Changes and obtained all the achievements of the philosophers, you can also be called the 'Master of Changes'!"
"It can also be the inheritance of the bet I made with my sons..."
"But judging from the current situation, after absorbing and refining so much, your power has completely surpassed mine in my prime. Even if I were still alive, I'm afraid I wouldn't be your match..."
"So, I lost this bet!"
The Longevity Emperor remained calm, seemingly unconcerned about winning or losing: "The bet between me and my disciples was ultimately about finding the path forward in cultivation. From the path you are on now, I can also deduce the possibility of further advancement, which means that my tens of thousands of years of waiting have not been in vain!"
After sighing, the Eternal Emperor looked at Yunhua and asked, "Do you know what happened here?"
Yunhua chuckled and said, "Heaven and earth were originally a unified whole, with no distinction between high and low. Previously, the Bridge to the Other Shore was built here, which forcibly elevated the position of this place. But now, with the disappearance of the Bridge to the Other Shore, this place has returned to its original state, and there is nothing special about it anymore!"
"That's right, there's nothing special anymore!" The Longevity Emperor nodded, with a touch of emotion. After countless years, he had finally seen a glimmer of hope on the other side, but with the destruction of the bridge to the other side, it ultimately vanished.
"The Bridge to the Other Shore is the greatest hope throughout countless eras. You have destroyed our hope, so how will you compensate us now?" The voice of the Eternal Emperor was already tinged with a chilling killing intent.
“Even if I don’t destroy the Bridge to the Other Shore, it has no hope of carrying you to the other side!” Yunhua said softly.
"According to the ancient philosophers' interpretation of the Book of Changes, 'the dragon that soars too high will have regrets, and nothing should be taken to extremes.' But isn't the bridge to the other shore also a matter of taking things to extremes? The actions of these philosophers conflict with their interpretations of the classics. Do you still think they can lead you to the other shore?"
Yunhua's words seemed ordinary, but they struck the Longevity Emperor like a thunderclap.
After Yunhua finished speaking, everything fell silent, and the Eternal Emperor did not say anything more.
Now, in this void, everything is utterly silent, as if the world had never been created and everything was in chaos.
After pondering for a long time, the Longevity Emperor finally sighed and said, "What you say, how could I not understand it? Back then, the philosophers swept through the Origin Land in order to forge the Bridge to the Other Shore. But the Other Shore is the Other Shore, and it doesn't need a bridge at all. The philosophers were wrong on this point, Brother Creation, you were wrong too, and my disciple Pan was wrong as well."
"But over the years, countless attempts have been made for the elusive goal of the other shore. The bridge to the other shore proposed by the philosophers is ultimately the closest to success, even surpassing my own..."
The voice of the Eternal Emperor carried a hint of sigh.
He did indeed relinquish all divine artifacts and rely solely on his own power; but in reality, he was indeed a little further from the other shore than the other shore bridge proposed by the philosophers.
"I just want to know, how did you withstand the great liberation technique of the philosophers?" After recovering from his sigh, the Longevity Emperor looked at Yun Hua and asked.
The Great Liberation Technique was something the Longevity Emperor knew was powerful. Back then, the various philosophers actually used this technique to imprison many Yang Gods and Void Shattering experts to get to this tomb.
The Longevity Emperor believed that even he himself would have great trouble with the Great Liberation Technique, and that he might even fall victim to it if he wasn't careful.
However, there was still a distance between the Bridge to the Other Shore leaving the place of origin and Yunhua achieving the Yang God. They clearly sensed the destruction of the Bridge to the Other Shore before Yunhua achieved the Yang God.
So how did Yunhua manage to block the great liberation techniques of the philosophers and the Bridge to the Other Shore simply by relying on the power to shatter the vacuum before he became a Yang God?
“As long as there is no ‘longing’ or ‘desire’ for the other shore in your heart, this move will naturally be ineffective!” Yunhua replied calmly.
"What?!" Emperor Changsheng exclaimed in surprise. He never expected to hear such words from Yunhua. How could someone who has no "yearning" or "desire" for the other shore exist?
"No, you must have found the right path, the right path to the other shore!" The Emperor of Longevity's eyes suddenly sharpened, as if flames were burning in them.
“Indeed, it is the right path!” Yunhua waved his hand casually, manifesting the true meaning of the other shore that he had obtained, which was a guide to reach the other shore.
"This is……"
The Eternal Emperor was astonished. They saw the other shore, the ultimate truth, in this light, and it seemed that they could reach the other shore by following the guidance.
The appearance of the true meaning of the other shore was like a depth charge, exploding in the heart of the Longevity Emperor, causing a huge upheaval that shook his mind and even made it difficult for him to remain calm despite tens of thousands of years of cultivation.
"Unfortunately, you are the only one in the world who has seen the other side, and you are the only one who can walk this path alone."
"However, being able to see the other side before dying is quite satisfying!"
As the Emperor of Immortality spoke leisurely, his body moved slightly.
"Let all my strength merge with yours, to help you, and to make your journey to the other side smoother..."
Chapter 428 The Supreme Other Shore
His body suddenly trembled, scattering into countless talismans, which then coalesced into a surging 'True Qi of Longevity'. This manifested as a dazzling display of magical energy, which then soared into the sky and flew towards Yunhua.
This power is even stronger than the body of the 'Origin Child' of the previous Creation Daoist.
"Having fused so much power, Yunhua, you are now the strongest being in the world. I look forward to your breakthrough... Other Shore!" The final voice of the Eternal Emperor resounded the moment he merged into Yunhua's body.
"You won't be disappointed!"
Yun Hua responded with unparalleled confidence, while simultaneously absorbing and digesting the vast essence that surged forth after the projection of the Longevity Emperor merged into his body.
After absorbing so much power, he felt that his body and soul had undergone a transformation. At this moment, he was no longer a 'Yang God' or a 'Shattered Vacuum', but a realm that completely transcended both 'Yang God' and 'Shattered Vacuum'—a realm infinitely close to the other shore!
At this moment, Yunhua's lifespan has completely transcended the limitations of this universe; he can now live for more than one eon.
After silently assessing his own condition, he pondered, "I have achieved immortality. If I compare my current realm with the system of the Shrouding the Heavens world, it may not be comparable to the 'Red Dust Immortal,' but it should be on par with the level of the 'True Immortal'!"
In the original story, after Hong Yi embarked on the path of cultivation, he reached this level in just six years... becoming an immortal in six years!
Such a speed of cultivation can be described as defying the heavens to the extreme, and is rarely seen in all the heavens and myriad realms.
After Yunhua had some enlightenment...
After he reviewed all the knowledge he had gained in this world and the world before, and perfected his own path, he was ready to succeed.
At this moment, everything is ready—
"Let me take the first step towards a breakthrough!"
At this moment, Yunhua stood up from his seated position, standing in the void, his body radiating a dazzling divine light. His aura was as majestic as a mountain and as vast as the sea. His entire spirit extended outwards, merging with the place of origin and becoming one with it.
After making preparations, Yunhua's power radiated infinitely, and the power of his physical body, soul, and Dao fruit merged into one, transforming into the incomparably profound, mysterious, and all-encompassing 'Primordial True Qi'. The nearly inexhaustible true qi manifested itself, like divine light, immortal flames, and the heavenly sea, spreading infinitely in all directions of heaven and earth.
In that instant, this immense power possessed unparalleled 'mass,' shattering the surrounding spacetime. He seemed to transform into a black hole, devouring all matter, energy, time, and space around him.
A small portion of the primordial power that helped evolve this body and soul to their peak merged into Yunhua's form and spirit at this moment, making him even stronger, while the vast majority of matter, energy, time, and space were melted into his physical body.
Everything in the tomb of the philosophers was torn to shreds by the boundless power released by Yunhua, including all the materials used to build it, various formations, and the many remnants and relics of the Yang Gods imprisoned by the philosophers.
And the powerful figures trapped in the graveyard, such as the two great emperors 'Meng' and 'Gu' who were the founders of the Yunmeng Empire, and the great emperor Moro who once ruled the Western Regions; as well as various other treasures, spiritual medicines, divine pills, spiritual wood, true water, divine stones and other things.
He completely devoured everything.
Soon, the magnificent cemetery of the philosophers, which seemed like the source of wisdom and the origin of civilization, completely vanished...
It can be said that it all went into Yunhua's stomach!
This cemetery of philosophers can be said to be the essence of the origin land, gathering countless treasures collected by the philosophers. After completely absorbing them, with the support of Yunhua's own path, he himself transformed and became increasingly powerful.
After the tombs of the philosophers completely disappeared, what followed was everything outside of those tombs.
Under Yunhua's devouring influence, one floating continent after another, along with oceans spanning hundreds of thousands or even millions of miles, shrank in the distortion of spacetime, falling toward his body and finally merging into it.
As endless matter and energy were incorporated, the world inside the acupoint began to expand infinitely, filled with boundless power, evolving towards a new origin.
