Eternal Emperor's Path to Ascension

Chapter 384: Transformation Realm Divine Powers, Terrifying Might of the Heaven Collapsing Earth Shattering Eyes

Several decades passed in tranquil peace.

It had been thirty years since then.

In these thirty years, the cultivation world was as bustling as ever, with the Providence of the Mythical Era continuing to grow stronger under the influence of the Lower Realm Spirit as geniuses continued to emerge in endless waves.

For ordinary mortals, thirty years was enough for a generation to rise and another to fade into history.

For Tian Yongheng, however, those decades seemed no more than the turning of a page.

Inside the secluded cave abode, the golden runes revolving around the Primal Dao Sword in his Sea of Consciousness had become denser than ever before.

Every strand of light connected seamlessly with his Essence Soul, his fleshly body, his Divine Sense, and even the invisible threads of destiny surrounding him.

The distinction between cultivator and treasure continued to blur, and it wouldn’t be long before it became his Natal Dharma Treasure.

At the same time, Tian Yongheng himself had not remained idle.

For thirty uninterrupted years, he immersed himself entirely within the comprehension of Divine Powers.

The outside world scarcely knew of his whereabouts during this period.

Combined with the previous few years, this was probably among his longest periods of seclusion.

In the future, each of his seclusion would continue to become longer and longer; there was nothing that could be done about it.

In his Sea of Consciousness, besides the Primal Dao Sword, countless profound symbols drifted nearby in the vast inner universe.

A Divine Power, unlike ordinary spells or techniques, was imprinted into the Sea of Consciousness of cultivators to allow for easy comprehension, and these symbols were precisely a manifestation of those imprints.

Among the symbols, the Shuttling Heaven Great Art shone brilliantly.

After decades of comprehension, this traversal Divine Power’s mastery had smoothly crossed into the Genesis Realm long ago before advancing even further.

Eventually, after years of continuous refinement, it had finally reached the Transformation Realm.

As his cultivation increased, Tian Yongheng’s speed in comprehending Divine Powers also increased greatly, thus, it was not difficult to cultivate them to the Transformation Realm at all.

The instant that breakthrough occurred, he felt as though the concepts of heaven and earth related to distance had become incomparably flexible; space no longer appeared fixed.

Every direction, every coordinate, every fold of reality seemed capable of being traversed if only he understood it deeply enough.

Although his cultivation limited the extent to which he could employ such ability, the potential hidden within it still caused him to feel pleasantly surprised.

After resolving the danger of the Lower Realm that was becoming increasingly apparent, he could definitely go search for Earth in the Myriad Worlds.

Thinking of this, his attention shifted elsewhere.

The Human Emperor Seal, unlike offensive techniques based purely upon destruction, this Divine Power possessed an indescribably majestic nature, having a unique quality.

It seemed capable of suppressing heaven and earth itself with the majesty of the Human Emperor.

Tian Yongheng entered deep meditation, silently contemplating civilizations that had risen and fallen, kingdoms buried beneath time, ordinary mortals struggling against impossible odds, and cultivators who protected countless living beings despite certain death, everything he had witnessed when traveling the mundane world.

Gradually, the illusory imperial seal suspended within his consciousness became increasingly solid, boundless golden light spreading across his Sea of Consciousness.

At one point, an ancient phantom seemed to briefly appear behind him, wearing imperial robes impossible to describe and overlooking endless generations of the Human Race.

The vision vanished almost immediately.

However, Tian Yongheng knew another step had been taken.

The Human Emperor Seal had likewise entered the Transformation Realm.

Two Divine Powers entering the Transformation Realm within thirty years, this progress wasn’t small at all.

Now, even against a Perfect Earth Immortal Supremely Valiant Heaven Reaching General, I could kill him within seconds, right?

Tian Yongheng couldn’t help but speculate.

At the same time, he could finally focus on the Heaven Collapsing Earth Shattering Eyes.

Compared to his other Divine Powers, these eyes had always remained something of a mystery.

This might be the strongest offensive ability he possessed till now, bar none. Perhaps even the Human Emperor Seal was inferior to this Divine Power.

After all, it could even destroy the very foundation of the Dao at high enough levels; he didn’t believe the Immortal Emperor Realm was all that.

It was definitely at the same level as those unspeakable existences, like the one Wang Daoyun is destined to become.

Though he had been so busy with other things that even after obtaining it, opportunities to cultivate it properly had been scarce.

Now, however, Tian Yongheng could devote himself to it completely, feeling a little expectant and wondering just how powerful would these eyes be once he reached the Transformation Realm.

Another twenty years passed by.

When the Divine Power finally stepped into the Transformation Realm, Tian Yongheng just opened his eyes once, and in the cave abode, countless concealed restrictions instinctively activated before calming themselves moments later.

At this moment, Tian Yongheng’s crimson eyes glowed faintly.

He could feel it.

With just a gaze, he could destroy tens, hundreds of thousands, probably millions of miles instantly, reducing everything to ashes.

Even stars beyond the Second Great Mortal World could be annihilated with some effort.

The most terrifying part wasn’t even that; it was that it would all be erased on the level of heavenly rules.

If he were stronger, it would be possible to do so at the level of concepts of heaven and earth.

In these fifty years, nearly every Divine Power in Tian Yongheng’s possession had reached the current limits his cultivation could support.

His combat strength had completely undergone a qualitative leap.

...

Several days later, Tian Yongheng reopened the Simulation Battle Trial.

The familiar boundless heaven and earth materialized.

Standing opposite him was once more the Supremely Valiant Heaven Reaching General.

This time, however, the cultivation of the simulated opponent remained fixed at the Grand Perfection of the Earth Immortal Realm.

The General stood motionless with his ancient halberd resting quietly in his grasp.

Even weakened by multiple major realms, his bearing still resembled an indestructible divine mountain.

The instant the simulation began, he attacked, the halberd sweeping across heaven and earth.

Space shattered as stars beyond the domain dimmed, invisible concepts of heaven and earth fragmenting beneath overwhelming force.

Tian Yongheng calmly raised his head, the newly transformed Heaven Collapsing Earth Shattering Eyes activating naturally without deliberate effort.

His movement appeared almost casual, yet when the attacks collided, the General’s terrifying strike instantly dispersed.

The latter’s figure stiffened, his movements froze, and moments later, his body and soul vanished into nothingness.

"..."

Tian Yongheng was stunned.

No way, this Divine Power is too strong, isn’t it?

How am I supposed to test my combat power?

Returning to reality, Tian Yongheng sat motionless for a few seconds before shaking his head.

I shouldn’t use it again in the simulation for the time being.

The simulation restarted.

This time, the battle didn’t end as absurdly as before.

Using various other Divine Powers, Tian Yongheng stably suppressed the Supremely Valiant Heaven Reaching General, finally killing him with a swipe of the Everlasting Yellow Sword Qi after some time.

Simulation after simulation unfolded.

At first, dozens of exchanges remained necessary before victory emerged.

Soon afterward, less than the time required for an incense stick to burn was enough.

Days quietly slipped away.

Each repetition polished Tian Yongheng’s understanding further.

Finally, after yet another simulation began, the General didn’t even manage to complete his first movement before Tian Yongheng’s finger casually traced through empty space.

The entire simulated world collapsed.

Insta-kill!

Inside the cave abode, Tian Yongheng slowly opened his eyes, a faint smile surfacing on his face.

At last, he could suppress a Perfected Earth Immortal version of the Supremely Valiant Heaven Reaching General with overwhelming ease.

This achievement carried significance beyond simple combat strength.

For the first time since ascending to immortality, Tian Yongheng experienced something resembling genuine security.

Even should he ascend to the Upper Realm today, he would no longer belong among its weakest inhabitants.

His current strength would already place him firmly above Earth Immortals unless they also possessed strength as extraordinary as his own, capable of fighting beyond realms.

Nevertheless, the satisfaction lasted only briefly.

Soon, the smile faded as he quietly reflected upon his results.

Perfect Earth Immortals could now be dispatched effortlessly, but that alone hardly qualified as absolute invincibility.

When he considered his own position among Vagrant Immortals, the difference became obvious.

No matter whether one Sword Venerable appeared or a hundred, the result never changed; he could suppress them with effortless certainty.

That was true invincibility.

What he pursued was not superiority over a single Perfected Earth Immortal, he sought the ability to annihilate hundreds, even thousands.

An entire battlefield filled with Perfected Earth Immortal opponents should collapse beneath one casual gesture of his.

Only then could he truly claim invincibility beneath the Heaven Immortal Realm.

Moreover, his future enemies would hardly stop there.

Above Earth Immortals stood Heaven Immortals, beyond them came Origin Immortals, then Profound Immortals, and finally Golden Immortals such as the Supremely Valiant Heaven Reaching General.

Compared with those heights, his current accomplishments remained only another step along an endless path.

He had to remain true to his original intentions.

Thinking this far, Tian Yongheng reopened the simulation interface.

This time, he selected not one opponent but ten Perfected Earth Immortal versions of the Supremely Valiant Heaven Reaching General.

Just as he prepared to begin another trial, his expression suddenly changed.

His Divine Sense extended beyond the cave abode almost instinctively.

Far across the Eternal Peak, an astonishing aura erupted into the heavens.

Boundless Spirit Qi gathered from every direction like rivers converging upon the sea as the surrounding heavenly rules vibrated subtly.

Clouds rotated into enormous spirals while dazzling light illuminated the skies above the Dao Field.

A faint outline of a heaven reaching ladder seemed to extend from beyond the horizon, becoming increasingly real with each instant.

Within that magnificent phenomenon stood a familiar figure.

It was none other than Wei Yusheng.
