"Open for me!"
Lin Xuan leaned forward, lifting his other foot from the Bridge of Helplessness. He braced both palms against the Gate of Eternity and shoved with all his might.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Terrifying ripples of power shot outward as the Gate of Eternity shook violently.
"Creak..."
Amid the deafening rumble, a crack split open in the gate, then it began to fly open with wild force.
The fissure grew wider and wider. The eternal gate that had barred countless living beings from the Eternal Life Realm was pushed open by Lin Xuan.
In an instant, the gate collapsed, transforming into white rain of light that filled the sky. It danced upon the wind before finally rushing toward Lin Xuan and plunging entirely into his body.
At that moment, both of Lin Xuan's feet stepped fully onto the land of the other shore, and his body gained the aura unique to the Life Realm.
"Undying, nirvana, eternal life... There is only one final step left on the Path to Ascension."
The pressure upon Lin Xuan had vanished. He could clearly sense that beneath the land of the other shore lay inexhaustible power.
"Continue transforming. Let that inexhaustible power burst from the soil, flowers blooming across the earth. Gather the blazing sun of life, and the Cycle of Life and Death Road will be complete."
"The final Earth Immortal Realm is about mastering one's own destiny and gaining the qualification to set foot upon the Great Dao."
Lin Xuan swept his gaze around, then carefully sensed the changes within himself, utterly satisfied.
Yet in the very next second, Lin Xuan let out a helpless sigh.
"Ah... It cost 64 million years of cultivation time. I only have 29.8 million years left."
"Damn Yuan Yi, I'm not done with you!"
