He intended to thoroughly master every ancient secret power, origin of Dao principles, and timeless opportunity within this Ancient Ruins Secret Realm, refining his chaos emperor Dao until it reached true, absolute flawlessness, a state in which myriad ages converged as one. When he eventually broke through, he could transcend the conventional ranks of Emperor Venerables across the heavens in a single leap, lay the foundation for a supreme Great Emperor Dao fruit, and pioneer a Dao path unique throughout the ages.
A moment later, Lin Feng slowly opened his eyes. His clear gaze pierced layer upon layer of void, looking toward the core of the Myriad-Eon Secret Realm deep within heaven and earth, which had just been unsealed and revealed its true appearance.
The torrents of myriad Daos, collapsing space-time, and emperor-slaying tribulation formation that had previously shrouded the depths of the Ancient Ruins had never been natural dangers of the Secret Realm.
