Chapter 2454 If Fate Permits, We'll Meet Again in the Martial World!
The 'Sage Monarch Tyrant's Prominent Divine Speech,' destined to be recorded in the annals of cultivation history, had finally concluded.
The scene of his divine appearance began to gradually fade.
Practitioners from myriad realms could only witness a visible surge of immense virtue descending upon Profound Sage Tyrannical Song—a profound and rich power of goodness!
This time, the virtue that Song Shuhang had acquired far surpassed his previous four experiences!
Perhaps it was due to the overwhelmingly awe-inspiring nature of this speech? Or perhaps, with the Heavenly Dao now absent, there was no intermediary influence on the virtue and resulted in its exceptional density this time?
Song Shuhang focused his thoughts and directed a substantial amount of virtue toward the virtuous lamia in hopes that she would take another step forward in her evolution. If she could ascend to the Ninth Stage Realm in one leap, it would greatly simplify his future Ninth Stage Realm heavenly tribulation.
Behind him, the virtuous lamia had already switched out of her 'Armed Fairy Empress' mode. Her small hands moved swiftly, collecting all the suspended 'white lotuses' from the air. Then, she discreetly consumed the white lotuses while covering her mouth with her sleeve.
The virtue continued to pour into the void and into her body, which she divided into three smaller portions and one larger one.
One portion was absorbed directly into her body.
Another portion was directed toward the virtuous fat whale, enhancing the mount's strength. The virtuous fat whale could now be considered a clone of Fairy @#%×.
A portion was directed to the Virtuous Lightning Tree, her weapon, which flickered with the power of the heavenly tribulation.
The largest portion of the virtue was guided into the faintly discernible 'network of virtue' behind her. This network of virtue was the most crucial element of her evolution and held great significance for Song Shuhang's future.
"Thank you all for watching my final divine performance. Following this, I shall no longer grace this 'divine stage.' Fellow Daoists, if fate permits, let us reunite at the world's end!" Song Shuhang respectfully bid farewell to the fellow Daoists of the universe before the 'divine stage' entirely dissipated.
If one were to ignore the ghost fairy holding a blanket for him, Song Shuhang's current appearance would be undeniably stunning.
The 'Sage Monarch Tyrant's' speech had concluded flawlessly!
...
...
Pa~
The scene of the divine spectacle dissipated.
Simultaneously, Song Shuhang found himself teleported out of the collapsed Heavenly Tribulation Realm of the Eighth Stage.
Without the Heavenly Dao taking the initiative to restore it, it remained uncertain when the collapsed Heavenly Tribulation Realm of the Eighth Stage would recover. It might even eventually crumble and vanish entirely.
In the boundless universe, Song Shuhang hastily retrieved a pair of shorts from his magical bracelet and put them on. He felt uncomfortable wearing shorts in front of the myriad worlds; it was cold and awkward.
After donning his pants, the ghost fairy swiftly merged back into his body and disappeared. She seemed oddly bashful.
'Aren't we essentially one entity? No need to be shy, right?' Song Shuhang thought with amusement.
He turned his attention to the virtuous lamia, eager to see the results of this massive infusion of virtue. If the virtuous lamia could ascend to the Ninth Stage Realm in one go, it would provide him with a significant advantage when facing the Ninth Stage Realm's heavenly tribulation in the future.
However, as he turned around, he saw the virtuous lamia silently spinning silk.
The formidable heavenly tribulation of virtue stood behind her and formed the framework for her cocoon-spinning process.
Song Shuhang was left dumbfounded.
Fairy @#%×, are you the successor of Spirit Butterfly Island?
The virtuous lamia silently shook her head in response to Song Shuhang's unspoken question, then continued to expertly weave her large cocoon.
'The virtuous lamia is sure to succeed this time!' Song Shuhang thought with delight.
Once the fairy had completed her evolution and reached the Ninth Stage Realm, Song Shuhang would possess another potent card to play when confronted by formidable adversaries.
"Is the speech over?" At that moment, Pavilion Master Chu, who was above them, sent a secret voice transmission.
"It's concluded," Song Shuhang sighed and responded via voice transmission. "To be honest, I've grown accustomed to the Eighth Stage heavenly tribulation and the monthly divine spectacle. Now that it's all over, I can't help but feel a bit wistful."
Strangely, after delivering this speech, he felt an unusual sense of emptiness within, as though something was missing.
"Nevertheless, this marks the end of my last speech, and I've shed a heavy burden from my heart," Song Shuhang added. This meant he wouldn't have to spend as much time composing the 'Profound Sage Speech' in the future.
"No need to feel wistful. Moreover, it's still too early for you to release that heavy burden." Pavilion Master Chu's tone remained soft and gentle.
Song Shuhang shivered involuntarily. "Senior Chu, can you speak normally?"
He wasn't accustomed to this gentler tone.
"Hehehe, Sage Monarch Tyrant Extermination, after completing your final speech, why don't you check your current realm?" Pavilion Master Chu continued to transmit her voice in that soothing manner.
Song Shuhang was left speechless.
My realm, my realm!
Darn it, now I understand why I feel empty after this speech!
My realm hasn't advanced!
In theory, when a Seventh Stage Venerable completed the Eighth Stage Profound Sage Tribulation, their realm should have ascended from the Seventh Stage to the Eighth Stage.
Yet, Song Shuhang had not experienced the typical realm-advancement process.
"How could this be? I clearly concluded the Eighth Stage heavenly tribulation, manifested my divinity, and delivered a speech! Why hasn't my realm progressed?" Song Shuhang appeared despondent.
"Is it because I transcended the Eighth Stage Profound Sage Realm? Or maybe it's due to my predicament within the Heavenly Tribulation Bug when I underwent the Tribulation Transcendence Realm? Or could it be that the Heavenly Dao collapsed the moment I advanced?"
Pavilion Master Chu's voice held a trace of playful amusement.
Performing a heart-piercing attack was a delicate task that required the cooperation of heaven, earth, location, and people. When these three elements were harmonized, a simple heart strike could yield a critical hit.
"Do I have to undergo the heavenly tribulation again? Manifest my divinity once more?" Song Shuhang lamented.
During his recent divine spectacle, he had declared, "This will be my final manifestation of divinity. If fate permits, we shall meet again at the world's end."
If he transcended another tribulation and manifested his divinity once more, how could he deliver an opening speech?
"Hello, dear audience, I've missed you all so much. Because of my intense longing, I've decided to manifest my divinity once more. This time, I assure you it will be my last speech.
"Greetings, everyone, it's me, Tyrannical Song, once again. We haven't seen each other for a few days; I hope you're all well. The previous manifestation was meant to be the final one, but due to an operational error, the speech segment went awry. This time, I guarantee it's the last one! After this speech, we'll meet again in the martial world!"
By then, who would believe that this was truly his last speech? His credibility would be in tatters.
"I've found you~" Just as Song Shuhang was wallowing in disappointment, a voice suddenly echoed in his ears. "Excuse me, are you my main body?"
This voice carried a mechanical quality.
"Ah!" Song Shuhang felt as though he had been shocked with electricity, and he let out a groundhog-like cry.
It was the fat ball!
