The Divine Han of humanity, the Zhongxing revival of Zhao and Xuan.
Meanwhile, within Inner Chaos, the golden age of the Five Heavenly Realms was also slowly drawing to a close.
Throughout the long ages of the End of Dharma Era, many great powers had journeyed here from afar.
They sought a sliver of Glimmer of Life here, bringing with them more conflict and more mundane schemes.
It was as though the Heavenly Realm had become the last refuge for All Grand Unity Experts during the End of Dharma Era.
Ancient whispers echoed throughout All Heavens. They were warnings spanning countless ages, instinctive alarms arising from the depths of the primordial spirit.
They gathered here, lay dormant here, and endured in silence here, all because they shared the same mountain-and-sea-heavy premonition—
The next great upheaval of heaven and earth was not far away.
The apocalypse hanging over the heads of all immortals, gods, demons, and spirits was called:
Heavenly Human Five Declines!
This was no ordinary tribulation. It was the Heavenly Dao's ultimate check upon beings at the Taiyi and Grand Unity Golden Immortal levels, a final trial tailored specifically for those who had accumulated to this point.
Only by surviving this tribulation could one break free from the shackles of the End of Dharma Era. Failure meant not even Reincarnation would remain; body and soul would be obliterated, returning to the void of Chaos.
This tribulation was divided into five stages, each escalating beyond the last and each fatal enough to bring down a peak Grand Unity Golden Immortal.
First Stage: Body Decline!
The immortal body would no longer be indestructible. Golden flesh and jade bones would gradually fester and decay, while the divine body would weather away like a mountain rock eroded by time, crumbling inch by inch.
