No Nickname Is Ever Wrong

No Nickname Is Ever Wrong

"However... before I continue cultivating the Ten Heavenly Caves, my Sea of Wheels Realm can finally be opened!" At this thought, Zhou Tong finally revealed a faint smile.

Ever since the tenth Heavenly Cave had been successfully opened, he had sensed that his Wheel Sea was beginning to ripple with divine radiance like water waves, as though it were about to be completely opened up. This was undoubtedly a sign that his Wheel Sea was unfolding.

At the same time, the Ten Heavenly Caves continuously drew in Life Essence from the outside world, refining it into life essence and pouring it into his Wheel Sea, breaking open the Wheel Sea that was as hard as divine iron.

Zhou Tong sat down cross-legged once more and silently circulated the method recorded in the Feather Transformation Scripture, guiding the essence of the Ten Heavenly Caves to strike at the Sea of Bitterness. Immediately, violent fluctuations began to arise where his Life Wheel lay.

That assault lasted an entire day. Then, at that very moment, a roaring sound like crashing mountain floods and raging seas erupted from Zhou Tong's entire body.

Endless divine radiance surged from his Sea of Bitterness, countless beams of divine light dazzling like rainbows. Everything was awash in purple, as if a purple ocean were churning violently, accompanied by purple-red flames spreading across the land. Fire and water seemed to merge and clash, incomparably domineering!!

The deafening roar of the tidal waves was like an army of thousands upon thousands galloping forward; the purple-red flames that scorched the earth for thousands of miles were like sin and fire filling the heavens, intertwining together.

"Rumble..."

Bursts of blazing flame erupted from time to time above the surging purple Sea of Bitterness, intertwining with the towering tidal waves and turning heaven and earth into a searing expanse. Sea and sky merged as one, while domineering purple light filled every corner, exceptionally dazzling.

This phenomenon lasted for half a day before finally fading away.

Only then did Zhou Tong awaken. Divine light shone brilliantly in his eyes, yet his expression also revealed both astonishment and understanding. "So... I'm not a Primordial Sacred Body. This physique should be the Azure Heaven Hegemonic Body!!"

A purple Sea of Bitterness, such a grand phenomenon, and that scene of sin and fire filling the sky—were these not the marks of the Azure Heaven Hegemonic Body? The powerful and domineering Azure Heaven Hegemonic Body!!

"The Sacred Body's Sea of Bitterness is golden and accompanied by lightning; the Hegemon Body's Sea of Bitterness is purple and accompanied by blazing flames."

"I should have realized it long ago. Since the Feathered Divine Dynasty could find a Primordial Sacred Body to blood-sacrifice for the Immortal Ascension Cauldron, they likewise had the means to find Azure Heaven Hegemonic Blood! Even if it wasn't pure-blooded Azure Heaven Hegemonic Blood, it would still be a descendant carrying that bloodline..."

The Azure Heaven Hegemonic Body differed from the Primordial Sacred Body. Several ancestors of the Azure Heaven Hegemonic Body had been committed to spreading the Hegemon Body across the entire world, so that everyone beneath heaven would possess a Hegemon Body.

Thus, cultivators carrying the Hegemon Body Bloodline existed on many ancient stars and were very easy to find.

"On Earth, the remnants of the Primordial Sacred Body that fell back then have already become Ye Fan. Since the Reincarnation Mirror found the strongest template amid the dust of Earth and used it to reshape my body, it definitely wouldn't be a Primordial Sacred Body. It should be some other physique..."

"In this universe, the only physique capable of standing shoulder to shoulder with the Primordial Sacred Body is likely the Azure Heaven Hegemonic Body!! Even if the one blood-sacrificed to create the Immortal Body back then was an impure-blooded Azure Heaven Hegemonic Body, the Reincarnation Mirror could probably use it as a template to turn me into a pure-blooded Azure Heaven Hegemonic Body!"

All the mysteries had been resolved. Only now did Zhou Tong gradually understand his own physique.

"Little Tyrant... there really are only mistaken names, never mistaken nicknames." Zhou Tong was somewhat speechless.

"Still, sooner or later, I'll remove the word 'Little' from Little Tyrant. I remember that there's another Hegemon Body in this era. I'll have to fight him to determine who gets the title of 'Overlord'..."

Zhou Tong examined his Wheel Sea internally and circulated the Feather Transformation Scripture. At once, an incomparably tiny purple speck of light appeared where his Sea of Bitterness lay. It was only as large as a sesame seed, yet it shone brilliantly.

An ordinary person's Sea of Bitterness was true to its name: desolate and lifeless, steeped in deathly stillness without the slightest Life Fluctuation. Yet at the very center of Zhou Tong's Sea of Bitterness, that purple speck radiated light across the heavens, like the sun rising in the east, Purple Qi stretching three thousand miles.

This was the Sea of Bitterness of the Azure Heaven Hegemonic Body!

"The Sea of Bitterness of the Azure Heaven Hegemonic Body..."

Zhou Tong fell silent for a while, then directly stored his Divine Scar Purple Gold Pagoda within his Wheel Sea.

The half-meter-tall Divine Scar Purple Gold Pagoda rose and fell within the Wheel Sea, blooming with purple radiance that complemented the entire purple Sea of Bitterness.

"But this Azure Heaven Hegemonic Body..." Zhou Tong sighed inwardly whenever he thought of the Azure Heaven Hegemonic Body.

The Azure Heaven Hegemonic Body lineage had originally had the chance to enjoy the same renown throughout the world as the Primordial Sacred Body. But unfortunately, the Azure Heaven Hegemonic Body lineage was simply far too selfish...

"Those who bring disaster upon themselves cannot live. That describes the Azure Heaven Hegemonic Body lineage perfectly!" Zhou Tong recalled the wish held by the Hegemon Body lineage in the original work: they hoped that the entire world would contain nothing but Hegemon Bodies!

Without question, such an ambition was tantamount to making enemies of the entire world.

"The Hegemon Body lineage's ideals have already become warped. Those ancestors of the Hegemon Body lineage also went down the wrong path. In the future, I must be the one to set things right!!" Zhou Tong made up his mind.

The Azure Heaven Hegemonic Body was very powerful, a physique in no way inferior to the Primordial Sacred Body. Yet throughout history, in fair confrontations between the Azure Heaven Hegemonic Body and the Primordial Sacred Body, the Azure Heaven Hegemonic Body had lost more often than it won. Most of the achievements that the Hegemon Body lineage truly boasted about involved bullying Sacred Bodies in their old age, or Sacred Bodies with incomplete secret techniques!

It was truly pathetic.

But the root of that pathetic state lay in the ideology of the Hegemon Body ancestors.

With Hegemon Body ancestors above them offering protection, the Azure Heaven Hegemonic Body lineage was like flowers growing in a greenhouse, never having endured the tempering of wind and frost. More importantly, the philosophy passed down by the Azure Heaven Hegemonic Body lineage was not about guiding later generations to develop an invincible heart, but about teaching them to stop at nothing!

By contrast, the Primordial Sacred Body had always suppressed the Dark Turmoil and clashed against ancient Supremes. So long as they did not die, they could forge an invincible momentum.

Thus, when a truly peak Great Accomplishment Sacred Body fought a peak Great Accomplishment Hegemon Body, the Hegemon Body was more likely to lose!

"Since I possess the Azure Heaven Hegemonic Body, my early cultivation should presumably not differ much from that of a Primordial Sacred Body!" Zhou Tong casually plucked a leaf from a Treasure Herb tens of thousands of years old within his Heavenly Cave and swallowed it.

Boom!!

The blood throughout Zhou Tong's body rumbled like a mighty river rushing onward. The Treasure Herb leaf transformed into an incomparably powerful stream of Life Essence that circulated through his body, continuously washing over his flesh. Specks of light even spilled out from him.

This process lasted for three whole hours before gradually calming down.

Rumble!!

At this time, countless streams of purple divine radiance manifested within Zhou Tong's Wheel Sea, like streaks of Zi Xia. Divine light shone brilliantly as purple-red flames blazed fiercely.

Zhou Tong could feel that as Life Essence poured in, his Sea of Bitterness was continuously expanding, expanding, and expanding again.

When his Wheel Sea expanded to its limit, Zhou Tong suddenly saw an unfathomably mysterious Divine Pattern appear within it. This Divine Pattern was like a chain of divine iron, coiling through the sky above the purple Sea of Bitterness.

"A Divine Pattern has been born!" Zhou Tong understood inwardly.

As Life Essence continued to pour in, more and more Divine Patterns emerged. In the blink of an eye, there were already over a hundred Divine Patterns.

When the last trace of Life Essence in that herb leaf had completely poured into the Sea of Bitterness, his Sea of Bitterness suddenly underwent an enormous change.

At the very center of the Sea of Bitterness, multicolored mist billowed, entwined with countless Divine Patterns. It was as though a Volcano were reviving beneath the Sea of Bitterness; bubbles gushed forth like springs, and purple rays of light continuously shot out from the sea's surface.

"I can strike for the Life Spring Realm now!" Zhou Tong understood inwardly as he silently circulated the Feather Transformation Scripture.

He had possessed the Feather Transformation Scripture for over a year. During that year, he had studied it constantly, and his understanding of it had now grown profound enough for him to completely open a Life Spring!

Boom!

Zhou Tong continuously circulated the Feather Transformation Scripture. The next moment, a powerful aura erupted, and his vital essence surged as purple Divine Fire blazed fiercely outside his body.

"I've finally broken through to the Life Spring Realm!" Zhou Tong smiled faintly.

But the next moment, his expression changed drastically. "Th-this... what is going on?"
