Heavenly Bohai Sea.
The Boundless Sea divided into north and south sections, and is dotted with a dense network of fortresses and strongholds, forming a continuous expanse.
The Heavenly Stem Alliance occupies 30% of the southern sea area.
The remaining 70% of the sea area is under the control of the Earthly Branch Alliance, which has surrounded the South China Sea with overwhelming force.
now:
The core of the South China Sea region, within Heavenly Sea Fortress.
Chen Qingyu was sitting cross-legged in the quiet room, calming his mind and silently circulating his profound inner energy.
And beside him:
Each crystal-clear, five-colored Heart of Myriad Realms was compressed by the solidified space, becoming palm-sized crystal bricks, stacked layer upon layer along the wall.
At a glance, there are at least a thousand of these crystalline bricks, covering an entire wall.
These were all specially exchanged for him by the four Half-Step Heavenly Lord, including Great Emperor Wanxing, using their own merit points from the Merit Exchange List of Heavenly Sea Fortress.
Normally, the Heart of Myriad Realms is a crystallization of the Law of Change naturally generated by heaven and earth, and its birth requires a special environment and various coincidences.
But for the Heavenly Lord, that's not necessarily the case.
After all, even ordinary Emperor Venerable have the ability to create things from the void, let alone those at the Heavenly Lord level.
Among the various Heavenly Lord, there happens to be one who wields the Law of Change; with just a little of the Heavenly Lord's power, one can continuously create the Heart of Myriad Realms out of thin air.
This is the biggest reason why Great Emperor Wanxing and the other three dared to boast about unlimited supply.
"Call..."
Chen Qingyu's breathing was long and deep, his body surging with Divine Power, and his aura fluctuated.
After acquiring a massive Heart of Myriad Realms, he did not rush to absorb and refine them. Instead, he continued to purify his own Dao Path, eliminating the calamities arising from the Middle-Tier Law.
After his continuous hard work in the early stages:
Before leaving the Heavenly Stem Alliance headquarters, there were actually very few calamities in the Dao of Myriad Calamities that were not powerful enough.
Today, only one dish remains.
In the Inner Heaven and Earth--
Boundless Divine Power surged, and the evolutionary power of the Myriad Calamity Wheel Seal surged back and forth, like a raging thundercloud, with flashes of astonishing light visible from time to time.
The Dao Path purification is from easy to difficult.
The dozens of calamities are a unified whole, capable of rotating and evolving among themselves.
After the initial, weaker calamities were eliminated, the remaining calamities became increasingly intertwined and interconnected.
Until the final calamity, it requires meticulous care, like peeling away layers of silk, to pull out the "thread" from among the myriad threads and peel it away little by little.
"Boom..."
Chen Qingyu's aura vibrated, causing the surrounding space to subtly distort, presenting a bizarre and fantastical scene.
This was the result of the collision and confrontation of dozens of laws, causing the aura to leak out. If it weren't for being in the core of Heavenly Sea Fortress, the surrounding area would probably have been ruins long ago.
Fortunately, the power and might he wielded had already reached the pinnacle below the Half-Step Heavenly Lord level, and this final step was only a matter of time for him, with no insurmountable obstacles.
After several hours:
"Buzz!"
Chen Qingyu shuddered, and a resounding echo reverberated in his mind.
Within the Inner Heaven and Earth, the newly renovated Myriad Calamity Wheel Seal hangs high in the sky, governing the movement of the sun and moon and ruling over all changes in heaven and earth.
"It's done!"
Chen Qingyu opened his eyes, a hint of joy on his face.
now:
In the Dao of Myriad Calamities, all the weaker calamities have been completely eliminated, leaving only twenty-four calamities derived from Upper-Tier Law.
And among these twenty-four calamities—
The five most powerful calamities—[ Calamity of Time ], [ Calamity of Space ], [ Calamity of Myriad Transformations ], [ Calamity of Annihilation ], and [ Calamity of Destruction ]—form the core of the new Dao of Myriad Calamities.
The Law of Time, Law of Space, Law of Change, Law of Order, and Law of Destruction are the five strongest laws he has mastered.
"Um..."
Chen Qingyu regained his composure and began to ponder:
" The Dao Path purification is complete. The only remaining obstacle to becoming Half-Step Heavenly Lord is insufficient cultivation level..."
For exceptional geniuses who have reached the Third Divine Realm:
Once their cultivation reaches the Peak of the Realm of Creation, they can ascend to the Heavenly Realm in one step and directly advance to the Half-Step Heavenly Lord Realm.
To put it bluntly:
Whether it's the Emperor Venerable Limit or the Invincible Emperor Venerable, it's just a difference in combat power, not a difference in realm.
Only those who reach the Half-Step Heavenly Lord realm truly transcend the limits of Creation, touch the threshold of the Realm of Heaven-Reaching, and undergo a transformative qualitative change.
"But for me, that's not necessarily true."
"My Dao of Myriad Calamities Tribulations is too powerful. Once I reach the Late Emperor Venerable, I will have the power to sweep away Half-Step Heavenly Lord!"
Thinking of this, Chen Qingyu couldn't help but smile slightly.
He reached out and grabbed a crystal brick, then tilted his head back and swallowed it.
"Snap!"
In an instant, the crystal formed by the solidification of space collapsed, Heart of Myriad Realms fell directly into the Inner Heaven and Earth, where it was enveloped by vast Divine Power.
With a surge of Divine Power, the Heart of Myriad Realms instantly melted and shattered into pieces.
Chen Qingyu's Divine Power immediately surged up, continuously extracting its strength to enhance himself.
Several hours ago:
Just as Chen Qingyu was being led back to Heavenly Sea Fortress by Great Emperor Wanxing.
In the North Sea part of the Heavenly Bohai Sea:
" The Emperor Huan " Liang Jingtiao has also quietly returned to the core of the Earthly Branch Alliance, " Seven Venerables Fort ".
Sensing her return, the other six Half-Step Heavenly Lord simultaneously launched their attack:
" Emperor Huan! What's going on?"
"Yes! Didn't you guarantee that this trip would be foolproof?"
"The sudden departure of the Great Emperor Wanxing has squandered what should have been a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"
"Not only did the plan fail, and we didn't manage to kill the Great Emperor Wanjie, but we also lost a high-ranking spy who was in a crucial position!"
" Emperor Huan! You owe us an explanation!"
The six Half-Step Heavenly Lord questioned Emperor Huan Liang Jingtiao aggressively, their tone unfriendly.
Before taking action:
The Emperor Huan used spies planted in the Heavenly Stem Alliance Council to set up this trap, naturally after informing the other six Half-Step Heavenly Lord.
Given the opportunity to kill a future Half-Step Heavenly Lord ahead of time, the others naturally agreed to her plan.
According to their original plan--
After the Emperor Huan ambushes the Great Tomb of a Thousand Autumns and delivers a fatal blow, he will quickly return to the Heavenly Bohai Sea, which will not affect their overall strategy.
The Earthly Branch Alliance already held a significant advantage. Even with the departure of a Half-Step Heavenly Lord and a slight weakening of their power, the Heavenly Stem Alliance dared not rashly launch a war.
What they didn't expect was:
Just as the Emperor Huan made his move, the Great Emperor Wanxing swiftly departed from the Heavenly Bohai Sea, catching them completely off guard.
Mobilizing manpower, deploying troops, and formulating battle plans all take time.
Moreover, the mechanism of the Heavenly Bohai Sea is special. Even if Great Emperor Wanxing leaves, the six of them rushing in alone will not be of much use in a short time.
However, in just two hours, the Earthly Branch Alliance had barely finished making strategic preparations when Great Emperor Wanxing returned.
This golden opportunity has been missed, which is truly regrettable.
What's even more infuriating is that the Emperor Huan himself tried and failed? The Great Emperor Wanxing managed to rescue them?
This is just ridiculous to think about!
If the conflict between the two major alliances were not irreconcilable, all the Half-Step Heavenly Lord of the Earthly Branch Alliance would have suspected that the Emperor Huan was secretly colluding with the enemy!
