Chen Luo took a step through the void, his body like an illusion. When he set foot down again, he had already arrived in the Immortal Realm. To him now, the World Barrier was as good as nonexistent.
After absorbing the power of Changqing Emperor's Tomb, Chen Luo's strength had risen as though he had crossed the accumulation of endless ages in a single leap, reaching the peak of the Immortal Emperor Realm—even surpassing Huanyu and Taixuan, the two most ancient Immortal Emperors. If he wished, he could shatter the World Barrier, rewrite the logic of Ascension, and establish the criteria for "becoming immortal."
"Changqing's 'Karmic Tribulation' has ended. Where, then, is my own 'Karmic Tribulation'?"
At the Cloud Top of the Immortal Realm, Chen Luo attempted to find the gate that belonged to him.
But after taking only one step, he suddenly stopped and slashed at the void behind him.
BOOM!!
A figure flew out from within and landed right beside Chen Luo. It was White Deer Immortal, the Heavenly Emperor of the Tribulation Qi World whom Chen Luo had sent to hunt down Wood Carving Daoist. Yet White Deer Immortal looked exceedingly wretched at the moment. His white robes were stained with blood, and a black handprint marked his chest. The handprint seemed alive; when Chen Luo looked over, it twisted twice in an eerie manner.
"No one can save you. This is your destiny."
A black shadow shattered the void and gave chase from within.
Before the figure arrived, its aura had already reached them.
The surrounding space was like a paper box being clenched shut. Centered on the place where Chen Luo stood, it collapsed and compressed. The ground became warped folds, while wind and light twisted into a tangled mass. Even time fell into disorder.
