During this time, Ji Hao also underwent tribulation twice, leaping from the third level of the Dragon Transformation Realm to the ninth. He was only one step away from entering the fifth secret realm, the Immortal Platform!
Each time, the Nine Emperors blocked his path, making it exceptionally difficult. It was especially so with the addition of the Ruthless Emperor. Her attacks were far too fierce; every strike carried immense weight and came within a hair's breadth of breaking Ji Hao's three layers of defense.
However, whether it was fortunate or regrettable, he never encountered the Huangtian Emperor in later tribulations.
In less than a year, he had crossed six Celestial Layers in succession. It was truly astonishing.
Yet for Ji Hao, who possessed the Heavenly Eye, this was still too slow. If he had not deliberately suppressed his advancement, he likely would have entered the Immortal Platform by now.
And he would have gone quite far within it.
At this moment, Ji Hao sat cross-legged atop a mountain peak, still immersed in the Dao State. The Heavenly Eye between his brows emitted a faint Divine Light, and the trajectories of the entire universe's workings existed within his heart.
There was no need to follow any rules or laws of calculation. His "Heavenly Eye" illuminated every corner of heaven and earth, even piercing through time and space.
He merged with heaven and earth, became one with Myriad Things—Unity of Heaven and Man!
That day, deep within the vast Eastern Wasteland's Spirit Ruins Ancient Land, a terrifying surge of energy suddenly erupted, jolting Ji Hao awake from his Dao State.
"It's finally opened!" Ji Hao opened his eyes, and it seemed as though Immortal Flowers bloomed within them. Years and Void fused into one as he raised his head to look.
