Chapter 359: Breaking the Shackles of Mortality, a Supreme Genius Capable of Shaking Ancient and Modern Times
Tian Yongheng quietly looked at the tears falling within the reflection of the pond for a very long time.
The rain continued descending from the heavens as ripples endlessly spread across the water surface.
At this moment, something deep within his soul suddenly trembled violently.
*Crack!*
An almost inaudible sound echoed within the depths of his consciousness.
The Seven Emotions and Six Desires Severing Law that had shackled him for nearly eight hundred years instantly began collapsing.
To be more accurately, it was being devoured.
Within Tian Yongheng’s consciousness, the incomparably sharp Sword Heart suddenly erupted with endless sword light.
The shattered fragments of the Seven Emotions and Six Desires Severing Law were instantly drawn into it before being sliced apart countless times.
The Sword Heart was a talent possessed by only a handful of people since the dawn of Sword Dao in the Great World according to its system description.
Even though Tian Yongheng had terrifying accomplishments in the Sword Dao, he never truly understood the Sword Heart’s true power.
This was the first time he had seen the Sword Heart truly reveal its incomparably strong divine might.
Soon afterward, those fragments transformed into pure Dao comprehension and silently merged into Tian Yongheng’s Dao Heart.
At that moment, Tian Yongheng’s pupils faintly trembled.
The final shackles binding his emotions had finally disappeared completely.
The cold detachment and unnatural indifference that had accompanied him for centuries vanished like smoke beneath the wind.
The surrounding heaven and earth instantly changed.
The tears silently falling from Tian Yongheng’s eyes landed upon the grass and pond water below.
Each drop contained terrifying vitality and immense Spiritual Energy.
Ordinary Half Immortal blood alone could refine longevity pills capable of extending mortal lifespan by thousands of years, and Tian Yongheng’s essence had already long surpassed ordinary Half Immortals countless times over.
If those tears landed elsewhere, they could easily evolve into supreme heavenly treasures fought over by cultivation factions.
As they quietly fell into the desolate land of the ruined Tian Family estate, an astonishing vitality suddenly erupted outward from the mountain range.
*Boom!*
The previously barren spiritual mountain instantly trembled violently.
The thin Spirit Qi within the surroundings rapidly surged at an unbelievable speed as dead vegetation revived, withered trees regained vitality, and countless spirit flowers and spirit herbs that had long gone extinct throughout the estate suddenly began growing wildly once more.
The desolate ruins rapidly transformed into a land overflowing with life.
At the same time, within Tian Yongheng’s body, the Divine Scripture of the Primordial Beginning suddenly began operating at full speed.
The perfected Mortal Transformation Dao Scripture continuously circulated alongside it.
The final few Heavenly Questions within Tian Yongheng’s mind rapidly shattered apart one after another like fragile mirrors.
Countless comprehensions surged through his consciousness like an endless flood.
At this moment, Tian Yongheng suddenly understood.
The reason he could never fully comprehend those final Heavenly Questions previously was precisely because he had unknowingly severed part of his humanity long ago.
How could someone who no longer fully possessed emotions truly understand humanity?
Only now, after returning to the place where everything began and genuinely facing his own heart once more, did he finally complete that missing piece.
*Boom!*
A terrifying aura suddenly erupted from Tian Yongheng’s body, causing the entire Eastern Continent to shake violently, tremors spreading across heaven and earth.
The Spirit Qi within millions upon millions of miles surged toward Jiangnan Region like collapsing heavenly rivers.
The sky darkened, countless clouds rapidly gathering together as the surrounding worldly laws and heavenly rules began trembling chaotically.
At this moment, every Half Immortal throughout the Second Great Mortal World suddenly opened their eyes simultaneously.
Their expressions instantly changed drastically.
...
Central Continent, Heavenly Region.
Kunlun Divine Mountain.
The Sword Venerable suddenly raised his head.
His ancient pupils contracted faintly for the first time in countless years.
"What terrifying aura..."
However, at the same time, the extreme amount of anticipation within his eyes was impossible to conceal.
Not far away, Tian Yun’s expression also completely changed.
His gaze instantly crossed endless distance toward the Eastern Continent.
"Jiangnan Region..."
At that moment, even his usually calm Dao Heart faintly shook.
The aura erupting there no longer belonged to the category of mortals.
...
In the Outer Void beyond the Nine Great Mortal Worlds.
Within hidden dimensions beyond the Mortal World, one ancient Vagrant Immortal after another suddenly awakened from seclusion, looking in the direction of the Second Great Mortal World with stunned expressions.
Some of them couldn’t help but wonder why it was that particular world again.
"Someone is breaking mortality..."
"Impossible... this doesn’t just seem a breakthrough from Half Immortal Realm to the Vagrant Immortal Realm, just what kind of terrifying existence is that?"
"What terrifying providence..."
Several ancient existences immediately attempted deducing heavenly secrets.
"Pfft!"
Yet the moment they touched Tian Yongheng’s fate, several Vagrant Immortals instantly coughed blood and forcefully withdrew their Divine Sense in horror.
Their expressions turned pale.
Heavenly secrets were in absolute chaos!
At the same time, an invisible, silent power shielded all of Tian Yongheng’s heavenly secrets, restricting the commotion to the Lower Realm.
...
At this moment, above Jiangnan Region, endless black tribulation clouds rapidly gathered together, as if the heavens were enraged.
Immortal Tribulation clouds!
And not an ordinary Vagrant Immortal Lightning Tribulation, but one that exceeded common sense, comparable to the Lightning Tribulation of the Earth Immortal Realm!
The surrounding space continuously collapsed beneath the terrifying pressure.
The worldly laws and heavenly rules of the Mortal World became extremely unstable, on the verge of collapsing.
At this moment, Tian Yongheng slowly stood up beside the pond.
His white robes fluttered wildly despite the absence of wind.
The tears upon his face had already vanished.
However, something about him had completely changed.
His aura was still Tian Yongheng’s aura, yet at the same time, it now carried an indescribable transcendence.
It was not merely a breakthrough in cultivation, rather, his entire state of existence was transforming.
Even though he had previously been a Virtual True Immortal, his essence had still remained mortal, but now, the vast providence surrounding him was forcibly wiping away that mortality itself.
The shackles binding his life level continuously shattered apart inch by inch.
At this moment, Tian Yongheng slowly raised his gaze toward the endless Immortal Tribulation clouds above.
Thunder endlessly roared throughout heaven and earth, the pressure alone enough to make ordinary Vagrant Immortals collapse in despair.
But Tian Yongheng just stared at it for quite a while, and then, for the first time since beginning cultivation in this life, a smile slowly appeared upon his face outwardly.
Not the calm or detached smile of someone who had already seen through the mortal world, but a genuine smile filled with cold arrogance.
It was wild and unrestrained, a smile filled with absolute confidence and contempt towards heaven and earth, a smile that looked down upon the endless ages and stood above eternity itself.
At this moment, Tian Yongheng finally revealed the true nature hidden beneath eight hundred years of caution and restraint.
He was not an Immortal reincarnation or a divine manifestation, but a supreme genius capable of shaking ancient and modern times.
A monstrous prodigy who achieved immortality within eight hundred years of cultivation in the Lower Realm.
A complete anomaly capable of slaying Immortals with a mortal body.
And now that he was truly invincible in the Lower Realm, there was no need to be so restrained as before.
