Five thousand years had passed since the World Tree took shape and the Divine Domain vanished from the universe.
At this moment, immortal light spread from Zhou Tong's body once more, expanding through the five great secret realms, Gu's True Self, and Thunder Emperor's True Life before connecting to the third True Life—the True Dragon Avatar.
In an instant, Zhou Tong's True Dragon Avatar burned completely. Endless dragon roars echoed within the Ten Cave Heaven Divine Rings, shaking the River of Time as terrifying dragon energy thoroughly filled the entire world.
In the end, everything belonging to the True Dragon Avatar vanished into the River of Time, replaced by Zhou Tong's figure.
The True Dragon Avatar had completely become part of Zhou Tong's Sixth Secret Realm. Everything it possessed—its Dao, divine abilities, even its history and karma—had all been replaced by Zhou Tong.
This was the power of his Sixth Secret Realm.
At the same time, an overbearing force emanated from the True Dragon Avatar and flowed throughout Zhou Tong's entire body.
"Roar!!!"
In an instant, a resounding dragon roar rang out. A great dragon appeared beside Zhou Tong, taking form from within his body. It spiraled around him in flight, radiating boundless pressure as though a true dragon had returned to life.
"Buzzzrumble!!"
At that moment, the arrays and restrictions around Zhou Tong were triggered, releasing a terrifying curtain of light that contained every phenomenon within.
This was a safeguard Zhou Tong had set up himself. His wife was beside him, and he feared that some aura or other accidental effect from his cultivation might hurt her, so he had placed a layer of restrictions around himself.
"What is this!?" Yan Ruyu was stunned. Zhou Tong had suddenly erupted with such power that he had even triggered the restrictions
