Ascension to the Throne

The vast heavens and earth were shrouded in a dense dark-red haze,

Even the surface of the ground beneath his feet and the distant mountains faintly glimmered with a pale red light,

As though endless blood had once flowed freely here, staining the land again and again,

And leaving behind an inescapable aura of tragedy.

Space atop a mountain suddenly tore apart, forming a planar passageway as a slender figure drifted down from within.

The power of heaven and earth here was far inferior to the refined spiritual energy of the Great Thousand World,

So if he wished to recover his strength here, it would be much slower.

But such a trivial matter was of no concern. Futu Yun had not come to fight a prolonged war,

He intended to speedrun the drawn-out war from the original story and settle it swiftly!

Usually, only living beings of a given world could sense its Plane Embryo,

Back then, the Martial Ancestor had taken advantage of this very convenience to subdue a Plane Embryo.

Unfortunately, this world had never produced a legendary figure like the Martial Ancestor, so it was simply impossible for anyone here to sense the Plane Embryo,

Even if someone were fortunate enough to sense it, they would likely lack the power to refine and subdue it.

"So, I'll handle this matter." Futu Yun smiled faintly, even though he was not a living being of this world.

A plane possessed its own intelligence,

If every living being in this world prayed sincerely together,

Then the power of those prayers should be able to help protect his perception and locate the Plane Embryo.

But in Futu Yun's eyes, that was utterly meaningless.

What he wanted had never been merely a Plane Embryo. He wanted to step into the Fusion Heaven Realm with the bearing of a Heavenly Sovereign!

As his cultivation surged higher and higher, Futu Yun entered the Fusion Heaven Realm once more.

This breakthrough came as naturally as water flowing into a channel—he had once forcibly entered the Fusion Heaven Realm through the Great Sumeru Demon Pillar, so he already possessed a foundation.

Moreover, while Futu Yun was not native to this plane, the Great Sumeru Demon Pillar had been born here.

Four beast phantoms suddenly raised their heads and roared toward the sky, beams of light shooting out from each of the four beasts,

The lights connected with one another, forming a colossal light seal thousands of feet wide.

Within the light seal, the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise each occupied a direction, their vast spiritual power seemingly capable of sealing heaven and earth.

"Four Divine Beasts Constellation Scripture, Four Divine Beasts Sealing Heaven Seal!"

The enormous Divine Seal boomed and hummed, transforming directly into a streak of light that descended with overwhelming force,

Even the energy between heaven and earth scattered and fled at this moment.

The Vermilion Bird Divine Seal had originally been a Peerless Divine Ability,

Previously, Futu Yun had absorbed energy within the Greatlaw Golden Pool, raising the other three Divine Seals to the level of Peerless Divine Abilities as well;

Now that the four seals had fused into one, the level of this Divine Ability had already surpassed the thirty-six Peerless Divine Abilities of the Great Thousand World.

The Four Divine Beasts Sealing Heaven Seal, originally a Divine Spiritual Art, had already been enough to repel spiritual energy,

Let alone now, when its might far surpassed the thirty-six Peerless Divine Abilities?

As the Divine Seal descended, all energy between heaven and earth was suppressed and scattered. The entire world seemed to have been sealed.

At that moment, the earth split open, and a chaotic sphere of light roughly a thousand feet across slowly rose from within.

The chaotic sphere pulsed faintly like a heart, and every beat caused the entire plane to tremble.

With every breath it drew, wind and clouds gathered, tides rose and fell, and the sun and moon waxed and waned.

"So this is the Plane Spirit?" Futu Yun was not surprised.

Although the laws of every plane differed, unless one's cultivation reached a certain realm, one could not transcend the five elements,

And Futu Yun's Four Divine Beasts Sealing Heaven Seal could not only seal the energy between heaven and earth, but also suppress four of the five elements.

The White Tiger suppressed metal, the Black Tortoise suppressed water, the Azure Dragon suppressed wood, and the Vermilion Bird suppressed fire. Only earth-element energy remained dominant,

And when the earth's energy erupted into turmoil, the Plane Spirit was naturally forced out.

Futu Yun had not truly suppressed the entire Lower Plane by his own strength alone.

Even though he had broken through to the Fusion Heaven Realm in this Lower Plane, it merely meant his compatibility with the plane was greater,

It did not mean he could control the entire plane free of the Plane Spirit's influence.

However, Futu Yun held Supreme Spiritual Liquid in his hand,

After forming the Four Divine Beasts Sealing Heaven Seal, he poured in an immense amount of Supreme Spiritual Liquid, directly amplifying the seal's power without limit,

Until it was enough to cover the entire Lower Plane. Only then had he forced out the Plane Spirit.

Looking at the chaotic sphere of light, Futu Yun could not sense the slightest consciousness from it, though he could detect a trace of spirituality.

Moreover, quite a few blood-red threads seemed to crawl across the surface of the chaotic sphere,

The threads coiled around it layer upon layer like maggots clinging to bone, making the entire sphere appear especially discordant.

This was because the Blood Evil Clan had invaded this plane, slaughtering countless living beings,

And the Plane Spirit had been corroded as a result.

However, the Plane Spirit had already sensed the threat posed by the Blood Evil Clan, so the resistance to accepting him should be much weaker.

The Plane Spirit had no formed consciousness, yet retained instinctive spirituality and relied on a certain instinct to judge threats.

As various thoughts flashed through his mind, Futu Yun slowly approached,

Then he passed directly through the dense chaotic light curtain, landing on the chaotic sphere without obstruction and sinking into its interior.

This was somewhat unexpected, yet also understandable.

Futu Yun had not expected the process to be so easy, but upon reflection, it made sense:

He had originally relied on the Great Sumeru Demon Pillar's power to establish a foundation in the Fusion Heaven Realm,

And now, he had even broken through to the Fusion Heaven Realm in this Lower Plane.

One who refined the Plane Spirit became the Plane Master, while he could already be considered a Plane Child,

Absorbing the Plane Spirit now was no different from a crown prince ascending the throne!

Boundless, majestic Chaos Power surged toward him at this moment. It was Primordial Power that had existed since the plane's birth,

In terms of quality, it could be considered a top-tier power even in the Great Thousand World,

But it was exceedingly rare. Only planes that had produced a Plane Spirit could obtain a small amount of it.

The Plane Spirit's power was so pure and immense. It truly deserved to be called a spiritual entity born of heaven and earth.

As he felt the vast power flood into his body, Futu Yun's flesh and blood instantly trembled, devouring all the incoming power.

Yet he still retained some caution:

This kind of rise in strength might be swift, but it had to be restrained,

If advancing too quickly caused his spiritual energy to become unstable, it could even unbalance his foundation, which would do no good for his future cultivation.

Besides, he could not refrain from controlling it even if he wanted to,

Although he had already forged his physical body into a Dharmakaya, this power was still far too overwhelming for him.

This energy was a supreme treasure even for an Earthly Sovereign Great Perfection,

It could help an Earthly Sovereign Great Perfection break through their shackles and become a Heavenly Sovereign,

But for Futu Yun, who had only just reached the Fusion Heaven Realm, it was still too overpowering.

Therefore, he could only absorb it slowly.

Besides, his true goal had always been the Plane Spirit, or rather, becoming the Plane Master,

These energies were ultimately just an additional gain.

As for the Blood Evil Clan outside, he had no need to act personally—hadn't he brought so many Heavenly Sovereigns with him?

In the original story, the Blood Evil Clan would have to wait several more years,

Before sacrificing countless people to create an existence comparable to a Heavenly Sovereign;

But now, the Blood Evil Clan's strongest expert was merely an Earthly Sovereign Great Perfection. Facing the forces Futu Yun had brought, they would not even have time to request aid from the Extraterrestrial Evil Clan.
