Lei Jun's Kaitian!

Soon.

Regarding the changes in the sky, the cultivators of the three clans exchanged thoughts through their Primordial Spirits.

In the brief pause from battle, they discussed it.

Soon.

A consensus spread.

Even though the three clans belonged to different factions, none disputed it.

That was—this scene was absolutely beyond their ability to achieve.

Then the question arose.

If they hadn't done it, who had?

The Heavenly Dao?

But why would the Heavenly Dao do this?

Could it be...

the newly emerged Human Dao?

At this moment.

Even the Three Clans Ancestors, including Zulong and the others, were equally bewildered.

Also bewildered.

Were Hongjun, Yang Mei, and the rest.

It must be said.

Though their cultivation was higher than Zulong's.

It wasn't that much higher.

The only ones truly a cut above were Hongjun and Luo Mo.

The former was due to a shift in his Dharma Gate.

It was the Three Bodies Technique.

The latter had obtained a stroke of fortune, "boosted" by a wave.

As for the rest.

Only Yang Mei could surpass Zulong by half a measure.

But if it came to actual combat.

The Innate Three Clans were still stronger.

After all, they had fortune on their side.

So.

Even they had to be puzzled all the same.

Furthermore.

Because the change was too fast, there was no time to deduce.

In fact, before their confusion could fade.

Another change occurred.

Boom!

Another thunderous sound, and the sky shattered again!

Then.

Another great realm manifested!

Both in scale and momentum, it was far greater than before.

Next...

came the third thunderous sound, the fourth...

Boom boom boom!

Each sound more earth-shattering than the last.

Layer after layer of sky was torn open, realm after realm manifested.

In the blink of an eye.

A full thirty-two Heavenly Realms, due to some unknown factor, had appeared in the Primordial Wilderness!

At this moment.

If not for the commotion that accompanied the birth of these realms, The entire Primordial Wilderness fell into utter silence, not a single sound to be heard.

Because the transformation was too shocking for words.

No one could speak.

Suddenly.

All desire for battle vanished from everyone's hearts.

The Phoenix Clan reacted swiftly.

As the "Sky Overlord," the moment they regained their senses, they flapped their wings and soared high into the sky.

Seeking to understand the cause.

None knew how long passed.

When the first Phoenix Clan cultivator reached the First Heaven, which had appeared after the shattered heavens reformed.

That Phoenix cultivator was stunned.

She saw a tree as majestic as Buzhou—no, not merely resembling it, but truly capable of supporting heaven and earth!

This Phoenix cultivator was no weakling.

Within the Phoenix Clan, she was an Ancestor-level existence.

Possessing the cultivation of a Golden Immortal of the Origin, initial stage.

Her true form could stretch across the Three Thousand Realms!

Yet compared to this tree, she was like an ant—utterly insignificant.

Looking upward.

This tree had not even reached its peak!

Only the Branches were visible, but the crown could not be seen.

"How tall must this tree be!"

The Phoenix cultivator cried out instinctively.

Clearly.

Her astonishment knew no bounds.

Soon.

More cultivators arrived.

Even the Three Clans Ancestors came!

With their higher cultivation, they could perceive more.

But precisely because of that.

Their shock was even greater.

Zulong's Eyes suddenly widened, his voice filled with terror.

"This tree connects heaven, earth, and man!"

"Through this tree, the obscure Heavenly Dao has become far easier to comprehend!"

"So these thirty-two heavens all arose because of this tree?"

"But..."

"What caused this tree to appear?"

Yuan Feng and Shi Qilin.

Were no better off.

Their hearts could not calm.

Hongjun and the others were the same.

No matter how they sensed, they could only perceive the Tongtian Jianmu.

As for what caused it, they understood nothing at all.

There was no help for it.

After all, their cultivation was worlds apart from Lei Jun's.

This was already a different level.

As long as Lei Jun was unwilling.

Even gathering the power of all cultivators in the Primordial Wilderness could not uncover the cause.

Nor could they detect Lei Jun's presence.

In truth.

Lei Jun was not in the sky.

...rather, it was on the ground.

At his current cultivation level, standing anywhere in the Primordial Wilderness made no difference.

As long as he wished it.

Even from the depths of the Nine Nether, he could produce the same effect.

His might had already surpassed the limits of Primordial Wilderness space-time.

Glancing sidelong at the Primordial Wilderness cultivators, who were like ants probing the cause of the changes, Lei Jun shook his head.

In that instant, the changes that had occurred in the Primordial Wilderness over these years—

what had shifted and what had remained—

were already clear to him.

For example, because the "Lei Jun Heavenly Dao" had perished, Zi Ling's cultivation had stagnated. She could only barely maintain the Fox Clan's survival, yet under the arrangement of the Heavenly Dao, the Fox Clan had long since shouldered karmic sin.

Another example:

The Taiyin Star had dimmed.

In that great battle, Wangshu and Youying had injured their Origin.

They could no longer use the power of Taiyin to refine Di Liujiang.

They could only barely sustain their own cultivation.

This made Lei Jun

not only sigh with emotion but also strengthen his conviction in his own path.

"Indeed!"

"Rely on the mountain, and the mountain falls; lean on the tree, and the tree topples. One's own self is forever the most reliable!"

"Whether it's Little Fox, or Youying and Wangshu, none could maintain their cultivation without relying on the Lei Jun Heavenly Dao."

"Once the Lei Jun Heavenly Dao collapsed, though they did not die, their cultivation could advance no further! Because they had once opposed the Heavenly Dao, they could no longer comprehend it!"

"In such a state, it is difficult to catch up to the Innate Three Clans, who have a Heavenly Dao to comprehend!"

Clearly.

Without intervention, they would ultimately be unable to escape the path of extinction.

This was also the reason for Lei Jun's lament: cultivation that relies on others is not true cultivation.

Relying on the world

was the same!

Were not Sages sustained by their dependence on the world?

"Fortunately, from the very beginning, I never pursued this path!"

"Only one step remains, and I can achieve perfection!"

"Then, cultivation will no longer be called cultivation, but... truth-seeking!"

"To discard the false and retain the true!"

As he thought, Lei Jun's gaze sharpened, looking upward.

Only the last heaven remained!

If nothing unexpected happened, this heaven—the "Middle Heaven"—would be the hardest.

With ordinary methods, it would certainly be impossible to break through.

Because the Heavenly Dao would surely mobilize a vast amount of Primordial Wilderness Power.

As long as it could not be shattered in an instant, and a large enough rift torn open, they would merge again.

Thus, the process of breaking through the last heaven would become a war of attrition—

not against the Heavenly Dao, but against the entire Primordial Wilderness.

The final outcome

would either be Lei Jun exhausted, or the Primordial Wilderness destroyed.

Clearly, neither outcome was what Lei Jun wanted to see.

So.

He had to use Great Power to shatter it in an instant.

This was indeed difficult.

But not impossible.

Lei Jun closed his eyes, and when he opened them again.

He had transformed into the "Dao"!

The Dao of No Self.

Then.

A Dao Sound rang out.

"Before, there was Pangu, who split Heaven and Earth with one axe."

"Today, there shall be I, Lei Jun, who opens the Thirty-Three Heavens with a single thought!"

"Open!"

At this moment.

Lei Jun opened the heavens!

The legend of Kaitian.

Had always been widely circulated.

And.

There were many versions.

But the most widespread was still Pangu splitting Heaven and Earth.

The Primordial World.

Came into being because of this.

Of this.

No cultivator in the Primordial World was unaware.

And besides this, there were no other legends of Kaitian in the Primordial World.

At least, not until now.

Until this moment!

The last of the Thirty-Three Heavens—the Middle Heaven—was broken open!

Almost as if crushing dry weeds and smashing rotten wood.

It wasn't a small crack, but entire sections shattering.

No matter how much Primordial Wilderness Power was gathered.

It could not be restored!

At this moment.

Lei Jun became the Dao, opening the heavens with a single thought.

What is the "Dao"?

The Dao is everything!

When Lei Jun's body transformed into the "Dao of No Self," he became the embodiment of all laws.

Even his thoughts were the Dao itself.

Within the Great Power were intangible Dao methods like time, space, cause and effect, fate, creation, and destruction.

And tangible things like blades, swords, fists, feet, and treasures.

In short.

This Dao encompassed nearly all matter, and all intangible laws that relied on matter for existence.

No matter what changes the last heaven underwent.

Or how profound its mysteries.

It could find a way to resolve them in an instant!

Then...

The Thirty-Three Heavens, without exception.

Were all broken open by Lei Jun.

At the same time.

The Tongtian Jianmu surged upward once more!

The tree canopy reached the Middle Heaven!

In an instant.

It truly connected heaven and earth!

At the same time.

It was like another Heavenly Pillar between heaven and earth—

Capable of propping up the heavens!

Beyond this.

It also made it impossible for the Thirty-Three Heavens to recover.

Because the branches and leaves of the Jianmu had already pierced through every Heavenly Palace; no matter how much Primordial Wilderness Power was channeled over, it would all be absorbed by the Jianmu!

Of course.

This Primordial Wilderness Power did not dissipate.

Nor did it become part of the Jianmu.

Instead, it flowed through the trunk, branches, and leaves back into the Primordial Wilderness between heaven and earth.

It was equivalent to...

The Tongtian Jianmu also having a channeling effect on Primordial Wilderness Power!

Thus.

Whether directly attacking the Jianmu or trying to repair the Thirty-Three Heavens Great Array, The Heavenly Dao could not accomplish it.

This was why Lei Jun used his Magic power to drive the growth of the Tongtian Jianmu.

Because this tree, to some extent, Had a "restraining" effect on the Heavenly Dao.

Not only the Heavenly Dao, but also the Human Dao and the Earthly Dao.

To be precise.

It was a bridge connecting Heaven, Earth, and Man!

So.

Saying that Lei Jun was using the Tongtian Jianmu to oppose the Heavenly Dao was actually somewhat inaccurate.

This was clearly a completion!

Only before.

The Earthly Dao was incomplete, and the Human Dao had not emerged.

Of the Three Talents of Heaven, Earth, and Man, one and a half were missing.

Even with the Jianmu present, A similar effect could not be achieved.

Because this was a cycle.

The Heavenly Dao bestowed responsive Merit, the Human Dao comprehended the Dao to drive it, and the Earthly Dao reclaimed all through Reincarnation.

None could be missing.

Although the Earthly Dao had not fully manifested, It could still serve as a corner of the Primordial Wilderness Power cycle.

As for...

Why the Jianmu could grow so quickly, It was naturally related to Lei Jun.

As the first Spirit Root to sink into Lei Jun's body, it had long merged into his Past Body.

When Lei Jun's three bodies became one, It further integrated into the new Dao Body.

It could be said that it had grown together with Lei Jun's Dao Body!

Thus.

Such a change occurred.

In a daze, it passed from the juvenile stage through the mature stage and reached its complete form.

And it pushed the ability to pierce through worlds

To its utmost limit.

Reaching through heaven and earth!

Even the Heaven, Earth, and Man!

And precisely because of this, what changed was not only the Tongtian Jianmu.

The Ancient Star Tree and the Chaos Green Lotus.

Also underwent great transformations!

But for now, there was no need to display them.

The opening of the Thirty-Three Heavens.

Without a doubt.

Once again caused a stir in the Primordial Wilderness.

Sensing it.

All was nothing but uproar.

Everyone stared in shock at the suddenly manifested Thirty-Three Heavens, even forgetting the life-and-death battles they had been fighting moments before...

For a time.

The scene was rather bizarre.

Even more crucially.

Although this Tribulation Period was already nearing its end.

Somehow.

It gave people the feeling that the protagonist of the Tribulation Period had shifted at this moment.

No longer the Innate Three Clans.

Nor Hongjun and Luo Hou.

But rather...

Lei Jun and the Heavenly Dao!
