It was an indescribable, utterly brutal process of transformation.
Truly staggering, enough to make one's blood run cold.
Simply inconceivable.
Before he knew it, boundless vitality began flowing forth.
The vast, unfathomable, mysterious power had completely reshaped Taiyi's flesh and all his internal organs.
His entire body glowed as he sat cross-legged there.
It was as though the scene moments earlier had been nothing but an illusion, never having happened at all.
"To think this Five-Colored Altar had such a function. What an unexpected delight!"
Having walked through the gates of death and found life at death's edge, Taiyi could not help marveling. "As expected of a supreme treasure land the Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable spent immense effort and devotion preparing for his transformation in his later years. Even though Emperor Zun damaged it ages ago, destroying more than half of it, it still possesses such astonishing power..."
His treasured body was lustrous as jade, flawless and radiant, as though he had truly become a sun shedding eternal brilliance.
His golden blood and vital energy surged like a tsunami. The power of his bloodline, already extraordinarily pure, had been purified again to an astonishing degree, beyond anything he could have imagined.
After this earth-shattering transformation, all the blood in his body had turned gold.
This should only have been possible after he broke through to the four extremes secret realm and brought his sun sacred body to its initial stage of mastery.
Yet now, he had bypassed that process and completed this step ahead of time.
Moreover, he had been reborn, his Dao Palace rebuilt to surpass what it had been before.
Rumble... rumble... Unseen, it seemed, unimaginable gates of potential were opening one after another.
An indescribable power flowed forth.
It left Taiyi feeling so wonderfully at ease that he could barely resist throwing back his head and roaring.
As though, at that moment, he could shatter the firmament with one punch and suppress the eight wildernesses and six directions.
Whoosh... At that moment, the Five-Colored Altar regained its calm and fell silent.
Enveloped in swirling mist, Taiyi remained seated cross-legged with his eyes closed, not rising immediately.
His limbs, bones, internal organs, every inch of his flesh, and even every strand of his hair shone with a radiant glow.
He had undergone an unprecedented transformation.
It could truly be called a complete rebirth.
Rumble-
Only after a long while did he rise to his full height and step forward.
His immensely vigorous golden blood energy surged from the crown of his head like an ocean, like a tide.
Taiyi's aura was astonishing. One hundred and eight rays of holy light wreathed his body as he clenched his fists, his gaze blazing. "The Five Dao Palace Heavens?"
"But..."
The corners of his mouth lifted slightly.
Light flickered in his eyes, utterly arresting. "Most importantly, I've cultivated the rudimentary form of the Martial Dao Heavenly Eye!"
Faintly, two blazing suns seemed to rise and sink within them, making it impossible to look directly into his eyes.
At that moment, the dust scattered everywhere between heaven and earth, so tiny it could ordinarily be ignored,
was laid bare to his sight, every speck perfectly clear even across immense distances.
Even the swirling Dragon Qi and spiritual energy, which had taken the forms of countless tiny creatures fluttering about, moved as slowly as snails in his eyes.
It was startling, almost inconceivable.
Indeed, aside from reaching the Five Dao Palace Heavens and undergoing an earth-shattering transformation,
what truly delighted Taiyi was that, through a fortuitous coincidence, he had cultivated the Martial Dao Heavenly Eye with the Five-Colored Altar's unfathomable power.
Although it was still only a rudimentary form,
Taiyi could clearly feel
that the power it had begun to reveal was already astonishing.
And as his strength continued to increase, it would only be a matter of time before his Martial Dao Heavenly Eye fully took shape.
As someone with the sun sacred body, he had never needed to spend too long consolidating the first two realms.
With no shortage of cultivation resources, delaying his breakthrough to the Five Dao Palace Heavens until now meant he had already restrained himself as much as possible, tempering himself to the utmost.
Even though he had made successive breakthroughs to the Five Dao Palace Heavens in such a short time, there was nothing unstable about his aura. His foundation was exceptionally deep and solid.
Especially after this unprecedented transformation.
He had been completely reborn. Even if he faced the Yin-Yang Sect's Holy Son or Holy Maiden,
he was confident he could suppress them.
And slay them.
"Time to leave!"
Taiyi did not hesitate.
He found a weak point in space.
Without hesitation, he circulated his divine power.
And punched out.
Boom!
The void tore open.
He charged through that pitch-black rift.
And emerged amid lush green mountains.
He was no longer at the spot where he had originally entered the Chaos Immortal Soil.
"Just as I thought, I can't sense it anymore!"
He closed his eyes and carefully tried to sense
the mark he had deliberately left inside the Chaos Immortal Soil earlier.
But he found nothing, and Taiyi could not help letting out a soft sigh.
Fortunately, his gains had already been great enough that he did not regret leaving directly.
He had long since decided to forge the chaos immortal material into his own Path-Proving Weapon before breaking through to the four extremes secret realm.
Then he would let it undergo tribulation alongside him, receive the baptism of lightning, and grow and transform together with him.
As the unprecedented bearer of the sun sacred body, his great Four Extremes tribulation would certainly surpass imagination.
Aside from not being cursed by the Great Dao, it would undoubtedly be no less formidable than the desolate ancient sacred body's great Four Extremes tribulation.
It might even be stronger.
Hiss! Suddenly,
a terrifying beam of divine light shot toward him.
But Taiyi raised his hand and slapped it apart.
He exchanged a head-on blow with the figure that had suddenly attacked, brimming with murderous intent.
Bang... A middle-aged cultivator at the perfected Four Extremes realm, wearing a pitch-black cloak that concealed his face and figure, was sent staggering backward.
His right hand spasmed, dripping blood.
His expression changed drastically as he stared at Taiyi in horror. "What?"
He had assumed Taiyi was merely a Five Dao Palace Heavens cultivator whom he could easily ambush and kill, hoping to reap some easy spoils.
He had never expected to encounter such a tough opponent.
Which great sect, ancient clan, or immortal dynasty had nurtured this monster?
At the Five Dao Palace Heavens, not only could he clash head-on with me at the perfected Four Extremes realm, but his flesh was also terrifyingly powerful.
A sense of impending disaster seized him, and he turned to flee.
"You're courting death!"
However-
In an instant, Taiyi became a streak of light.
Brimming with murderous intent, he charged forward.
He wasted no words, unleashing broad, sweeping strikes with his Sun God Fist.
The terrifying power of his flesh actually tore through the void.
As he struck to kill.
Boom... boom...
The fiercely blazing fist imprints were unstoppable.
One magical artifact after another was mercilessly destroyed, blasted apart.
There were no surprises. Though the Four Extremes expert brought forth all manner of magical artifacts and tried every means of resistance, he could not halt Taiyi's advance.
He had no time to escape before Taiyi caught up.
And cut off his retreat.
"No, I'm an elder of the Taiyuan Church! You..."
He was filled with terror.
He shouted, fierce on the outside but craven within.
"Never heard of it!"
Taiyi's face was expressionless.
His bearing was heroic and spirited, his strides those of a dragon and a tiger.
