Thirteenth Dan of Musical Rhythm, the Sixth Final Realm

This news was earth-shattering, plunging the entire City Lord's Mansion into silence, as if it were dead.

When they came to their senses, everyone stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

Dragon Seeing Pass, the foremost pass on the Eastern Region Frontier, has actually been breached?!

The Ancestral Dragon Communication, written in Dragon Blood —this is the symbol of breaking through the barrier, but—how is this possible!

"How could Dragon Seeing Pass have been breached? We haven't even received a call for reinforcements yet. Could it have been a surprise attack?"

This sudden, unexpected shock sent chills down everyone's spines, giving them a sense of dread.

On the battlefield, things can change in an instant, and anything can happen, but this bad news is just too shocking!

"Quickly, send someone to Dragon Seeing Pass to confirm the Intelligence."

After a moment of stunned silence, Long Potian came to his senses and hurriedly said...

The others also realized what was happening and quickly dispatched sentries to investigate.

Not long after, news came back from Dragon Seeing Pass that of the sentry team, only one of them escaped back. Upon his return, he immediately ordered the Teleportation Array to be sealed off and the teleportation anchor point of the Dragon Seeing Pass passage to be destroyed!

The news reached the City Lord's Mansion immediately. Long Potian received the report from the sentry, a scene of utter devastation and utter devastation.

The once majestic and formidable Dragon Seeing Pass, the city that had stood for countless Years, is now nothing but ruins!

The towering city walls, tens of thousands of feet high, are riddled with shocking holes, a sight that chills the heart.

On the ground were huge footprints, the earth was torn apart, and in the Void were holes that could not be healed for a long time. Those holes contained the power of nothingness and Destruction, and were not to be approached. They were like vortexes that could swallow up any living beings that came near.

The ground was littered with wreckage and blood, including remains from various tribes of the Eastern Region and numerous Ancient Demon Corpse.

Most terrifyingly, the Dragon Seeing Pass Divine Dragon Statue, which symbolized the supreme symbol of the Ancestral Dragon lineage, was also broken. Its dragon head was shattered on the ground, its Dragon Body was torn apart, Sharp Claws were broken!

You must know, this Divine Dragon Sculpture is an Immortal Forbidden Emperor Artifact!

Especially after being stained with the blood of the Ancestral Dragon lineage, it can unleash power comparable to that of Immortal Emperor!

At this moment, the Sculpture was incomplete, and even the Emperor Artifact were destroyed!

"What, what happened?"

Long Potian was shocked and incredulous. He felt his heart trembling. Although there were frequent battles on the Border Pass, he had never encountered such a devastating blow in all these years!

Dragon Seeing Pass, as the foremost pass in the Eastern Region, has only been breached Three Times. The first breach was during the even more distant Battle of Broken Realm Mountain, an ancient civil war among the Myriad Races of All Heavens.

The second was the Ancient Demon War, Three Times was a surprise attack by Ancient Demon Fifty Thousand Years.

And now, it's happened a fourth time!

"Dragon Seeing Pass is guarded by the Great Emperor of the Candle Dragon Clan, and nine Quasi-Emperor Realm cultivators are stationed there. How could this be—"

Long Potian was somewhat dazed. The pass had been breached, and what was worse, they hadn't even received a message for reinforcements, which showed just how fierce the attack was!

Just as they were in a state of utter confusion, suddenly, a bright dragon's roar pierced the sky, extending from the Void along a power beyond the laws of Principle. The dragon's roar was awe-inspiring, dominating the Heavenly Realms Heaven and Earth, and was the power of the Ancestor Dragon Court of the Eastern Region.

A dragon's roar pierced the sky, Descent upon the City Lord's Mansion and transforming into an Ancestor Dragon Token.

The order came from the Ancestor Dragon Court, transmitted through the Ancestor Dragon Token:

"Dragon Seeing Pass has fallen, Candle Dragon Great Emperor is severely wounded. He has led four Quasi-Emperor and the generals of Dragon Seeing Pass to retreat and defend the Hundred Cities Defense Line. Using Ancestor Dragon City as their base, they will fight the Ancient Demon in a decisive battle. All cities must provide full support and fight to the death!"

The Whispers from the Ancestral Dragon was heard, Long Potian and the others were all shocked. This meant that Dragon Seeing Pass had really been breached, the sentry's news was true, and that the Candle Dragon Great Emperor was seriously injured. This was an Immortal Emperor, who would not necessarily take action in many battles. This time he was seriously injured and had no choice but to abandon Dragon Seeing Pass and retreat to the Second Defense Line.

"Where are the spies among the Ancient Demon? Why is there no Intelligence at all? The Ancient Demon have suddenly launched such a mobilization; it must be that even the Great Emperor of the Ancient Demons has been dispatched!"

Long Potian looked surprised and doubtful, but his mind was somewhat chaotic. He knew that the elders in the Ancestor Dragon Court would not sit idly by and would most likely have already rushed to the aid of Ancestor Dragon City.

The Frontier conflict has taken a sudden and dramatic turn, with such heavy casualties, seemingly foreshadowing something major happening!

"Quickly, dispatch troops and send reinforcements to Ancestor Dragon City!"

Long Potian quickly gave the order.

Qing Xuan nodded, his expression extremely solemn, and cold sweat even seeped from his forehead.

He quickly issued orders, but as he was deploying the troops, certain figures came to mind, and he immediately advised the dispatched troops to avoid those people.

After all, the casualty rate for this reinforcement is extremely high, so it's better for some of the seeds to remain in Dragon Gate City.

Outside Dragon Seeing Pass.

In the darkness of the empty Starry Sky, a group of figures stood there. Among them, three figures were the most majestic, like three mountains, standing silently. The aura emanating from their bodies made the entire Void seem to freeze, and time and Time and Space were severed, unable to flow, as if they were frozen outside the world.

This means that one can live Eternity in such a stagnant Time and Space.

Their location was the Eternity Domain.

Besides the three figures, there was a group of figures of varying heights standing beside them. Among them was a figure with a graceful figure and a cold, sharp gaze. Although her body was that of Ancient Demon, her eyes were bright and captivating, like Autumn Water. Despite the coldness in her gaze, she possessed a kind of stunning beauty.

"Xue Yao, your return this time, and the Reincarnation Fragment you presented, are the greatest contribution!"

Suddenly, one of the towering figures spoke in Whispers voice, weathered yet gentle, with a kind and Wenrou quality, like a dignified yet loving elder.

"Father, it's all thanks to your reinforcements; otherwise, Xue Yao wouldn't have been able to cross the Southern Region and return to the Lineage."

The Ancient Demon, whose eyes were like Autumn Water, Whispers.

If Li Hao were here, he would immediately recognize the voice as that of Ban Xueyao, an Ancient Demon he once knew.

"Xue Yao is indeed a rare talent. If it weren't for her, our Five Clans wouldn't have reconciled. Now that the Reincarnation Gate has been half-rebuilt, the other Five Clans are unwilling to unite. Once we take over the Eastern Region and establish Reincarnation here, they will naturally come."

Another imposing figure spoke, his voice rough like a mountain rock, yet tinged with amusement.

"These Myriad Races of the True World have enjoyed far too much peace and tranquility; it's time they experienced terror once more."

Another figure spoke calmly, his words carrying a chilling indifference.

Beside them, the other Ancient Demon of varying heights remained silent. They were all top-tier Ancient Demon or members of royal Bloodline from various races.

They have never shown any pity to the Myriad Races of the True World, regarding them as pigs and dogs, like a pond full of fish, including crucian carp, carp, and mandarin fish, just with a variety of types, but not much difference.

"Sin Mirror Emperor and Poison Erosion Emperor have broken through their cultivation barriers. It's our turn to conquer a city. The Old Dragon of the Ancestor Dragon Court should have recovered by now. Everyone, be careful. The Emperor Lord of other territories will most likely not stand idly by. This is our second declaration of war in ten thousand years!"

The Ancient Demon's voice, deep and resonant like a mountain, said that his entire body was grotesque and unlike other Ancient Demon. His body seemed devoid of flesh and blood, consisting only of bones that appeared extremely rough, with some bones resembling sharp knives.

Besides bones, there are numerous chains and terrifying weapon-like objects extending from its body, such as iron hooks, saw blades, and sharp cones.

Its terrifying body alone is enough to give one a sense of suffocation.

It felt as if they would be endlessly torn apart, plunging into unimaginable suffering.

He was one of the ten royal families of the Ancient Demon, the Bone Prison Clan.

Beside him were several smaller, but still towering, powerful Bone Prison Clan. Among them was a royal Bloodline Heavenly Prodigy whose entire body was covered in chains with sharp barbs at the ends. Behind him were curved, spider-claw-like blades that stretched out at will, making him look extremely terrifying and eerie.

Compared to the Bone Prison Clan, the black-clad Ban Xueyao was undoubtedly "delicate and lovely".

As a member of the Yama Clan, she is considered the one among the ten clans whose appearance is closest to that of Human Race.

"Shatter the Eastern Region!"

Ban Xueyao's father, the Yama Emperor, also spoke slowly and in a low voice.

Hearing her father's words, Ban Xueyao looked into the distance. The pass ahead was already in ruins, the city was broken and in disarray, with corpses scattered everywhere. The remaining soldiers were still barely holding on, but they became the enemy army's post-battle feast.

Suddenly, for some reason, a figure flashed through Xue Yao's mind.

Human Race - She originally felt nothing and had no pity for Human Race, just like other Ancient Demon, Human Race as insects.

But on the Frontier of a certain Immortal Dynasty in the Southern Region, she was rescued by that Human Race and spent several months with him. Those insects were not just capable of screaming and fighting; they also possessed a noble composure and serenity.

Thinking of that young man, she recalled his extraordinary Cooking skills—feeding Ancient Demon and rapidly extracting their power.

Strengthen the Divine Soul.

After returning, she searched for many master chefs among the Ancient Demon Clans, but unfortunately, the Ancient Demon Clan were not so picky about food and drink, only about the ingredients, and only about the simplest Cooking methods.

Although the royal family's Cooking had become extremely skilled, they were still far from being able to extract the power to enhance the Divine Soul from the flesh and blood of the Ancient Demon.

She later sought out some Human Race chefs, but they were still unable to do it. The best one among them spent countless Divine Medicine and years of effort to cook an Immortal Lord Realm Ancient Demon, but it could only barely nourish and enhance the Divine Soul a little bit—the effect was too poor and not worth it at all.

Now, hundreds of years Past, and no one knows where that boy is now, how many Ancient Demon he has devoured, or what level his Primordial Spirit has reached.

Since the end of the Southern Region Assembly Battle, she had never seen the boy again and had lost track of his whereabouts, so she returned to her Lineage alone.

"Now, perhaps it's time to reach the Perfection of Immortal Lord Realm?"

She murmured to herself, but a smile involuntarily crept onto her lips. Although she knew that the young man could Cooking his own kind, her Ancient Demon Clan not only looked down on all other races, but also on other Ancient Demon races. They regarded their own race as the most noble and supreme, and had little sympathy for their own kind.

Perhaps, their race is inherently devoid of emotion.

That's why it's so powerful, able to sweep across Myriad Races of the True World.

"Let's go. They didn't have time to react to the surprise attack at Dragon Seeing Pass, but the second pass won't be so easy. Fortunately, we've already made preparations in advance."

Another imposing figure spoke coldly. He was completely black, like a charred corpse, but black flames flickered in the cracks of his flesh. The flames did not emit high temperatures; instead, they gave one a feeling of extreme cold or extreme heat, making it impossible to distinguish between fire and cold.

"You may all lead your troops and set off!"

"This is what Yama Emperor, instructed."

The many figures around them all nodded.

Ban Xueyao bowed slightly and nodded, saying, "Father, I will go too!"

"Don't take risks; be wary of reinforcements from other domains."

"It is Yama, the King of Hell, "Yama Emperor said gently.

Ban Xueyao nodded, and then her figure blurred as she swiftly flew forward.

In Dragon Gate City.

Dragon Shield Seventh Tower, first floor.

At the mountain spring atop the peak, Li Hao slowly opened his eyes. His eyes were grayish-silver, giving a sense of emptiness, yet they seemed to contain Myriad Daos flawless Silver Light.

"A century of enlightenment on the Ultimate Dao of sound, plus ten years of Seclusion in Dragon Gate City."

At that moment, Li Hao finally had an epiphany.

The sound path is impenetrable!

The Tao says, "The highest good is like water, which benefits all things Non-Contention."

Water is the gentlest of things, but when it freezes into ice, it becomes the sharpest.

But sound is even more terrifying; it can penetrate water and rock strata.

What is waterproof may not be soundproof. Sound is rhythm and vibration. All Things has sound, and once it resonates, it can be transmitted.

"Musical Rhythm - piercing through All Things, piercing through the Void, penetrating all surfaces, reaching the depths of the soul!"

"It penetrates everywhere, seeps into All Things, and its Heavenly Sound Void Piercing ---"

Li Hao muttered to himself.

Panel prompt appeared before his eyes.

[Having comprehended the "Void Piercing State of Mind," the Musical Rhythm Dao has been elevated to the Thirteenth Dan!]

As the lock lost its orange, countless insights Heart Entry. Sitting in the mountain spring, Li Hao felt connected to the entire mountain. The Void Insight of Musical Rhythm made him feel that he himself was also Dao Sound, capable of penetrating All Things, penetrating Heaven and Earth, and having a close connection with All Things!

And this feeling is just like Immortal Transformation!

Immortal Transformation is the process of merging the body into Heaven and Earth, and dispersing one's consciousness into Heaven and Earth, achieving a delicate balance between form and dispersion.

Li Hao had already mastered the Immortal Transformation Extreme Realm, and under the current Void Piercing State of Mind, his feelings were even deeper, as if the experience of Immortal Transformation had been enhanced tenfold or a hundredfold.

Once, he vaguely touched the deepest part of Heaven and Earth, that majestic will.

That's the Heavenly Venerable!

The Immortal Transformation is to become an immortal; the final goal is to become Heavenly Venerable!

At this moment, as Li Hao comprehended the Void Piercing State of Mind of Musical Rhythm, his consciousness also merged infinitely with Heaven and Earth, like the strongest sound touching the deepest part of Heaven and Earth.

He had previously barely touched the power of the Heavenly Venerable and could vaguely sense it. Now, however, he could truly feel a power deep within the Heaven and Earth, which seemed to be the Heavenly Dao, but was different from the Heavenly Dao Power he had sensed on his Ascension Path.

The Heavenly Dao, which I sensed on the Ascension Path, was supreme and yet seemed to possess the emotions of life.

The Heavenly Venerable he sensed at that moment seemed to be the truth of the universe's operation, the order of all All Things, cold, supreme, yet devoid of any emotion, indifferent and majestic, unmoving and inseparable.

"What is this...?"

Qi Hao felt a shiver run through his body.

The two Heavenly Venerable seemed to be beings on par with the Heavenly Dao, devoid of any emotion, yet terrifying to the extreme.
