In this instant:
Accompanied by the continuous transformation of its own Dao of Myriad Calamities:
A profound realization welled up in Chen Qingyu's heart.
"So this is the secret of the Realm of Heaven-Reaching..."
The most fundamental difference between the Realm of Heaven-Reaching and the Half-Step Heavenly Lord lies in the ability to reverse, reshape, and control the order of heaven and earth.
Half-Step Heavenly Lord possesses their own unique laws and is already capable of reshaping the order of heaven and earth.
But their power and might seem too weak compared to the vastness of heaven and earth, like a drop of ink trying to stain the entire ocean.
This is not only difficult, but it is also destined to take a long time.
At least a million years is far from enough; it would take at least several million, or even tens of millions of years, to even touch the threshold of the Realm of the Heavenly Lord.
"It turns out, the greatest enemy is time..."
Chen Qingyu's thoughts began to wander slightly.
He remembered that his master, Danyang Ju, had never received any "gifts" yet still became Heavenly Lord.
Perhaps in his master's time, a calendar cycle was more than a million years, and the Lifespan of Half-Step Heavenly Lord was even longer.
After each Epoch Cycle:
In a million years, not even Half-Step Heavenly Lord has been able to grow up, so all subsequent Heavenly Lord need "blessings" to propel them forward.
However, Chen Qingyu's situation is different.
Although he possessed unparalleled combat prowess and was already the strongest person below the Heavenly Lord, his true realm was not even at the Peak of the Realm of Creation.
therefore:
He swallowed just one bite of the "golden apple" and already felt like he was "stuffed".
"Boom!"
When his Dao of Myriad Calamities had only undergone half of transformation, his Inner Heaven and Earth began to rumble and tremble, entering a brand new level.
The Peak of the Realm of Creation!
A vast and unfathomable power surged from Inner Heaven and Earth, spreading far and wide and profoundly altering everything around it!
The Realm of Heaven-Reaching is now within reach!
"So that's how it is..."
A myriad of emotions welled up in Chen Qingyu's heart.
Other prodigies in the Third Divine Realm can become Half-Step Heavenly Lord after reaching the Peak of the Realm of Creation.
His accumulated knowledge was so profound that when he reached the Peak of the Realm of Creation, he could have skipped the long accumulation period and directly entered the Realm of Heaven-Reaching!
There are no barriers or obstacles in this process!
"So, I didn't need this 'gift' at all..."
Chen Qingyu closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
"Bring it on!"
With a thought, he unleashed his vast divine Divine Power and the might of the laws, resolutely taking a step towards that invisible staircase!
In an instant--
His Inner Heaven and Earth shattered with a deafening roar, becoming a formless and boundless chaotic phantom.
He himself entered a higher level of life form, and his Divine Power underwent a rapid transformation, turning into a brand new power—the power of the Heavenly Lord!
"This is the Realm of the Heavenly Lord..."
Chen Qingyu opened his eyes and realized that everything in the world was completely different in front of him.
This moment:
His divine sense could already cover an endless area; with a mere wave of his hand, it seemed he could shatter the entire world or reshape a domain!
Strength, majesty, Lifespan... truly on par with the heavens!!
"Boom!"
A majestic aura, transcending all ages and surpassing heaven and earth, rose from Chen Qingyu's body.
The mere presence of this aura caused the Great Emperor Dongxu, the Emperor Huan, the Dark Emperor, and others to feel their minds suffocate and tremble.
" Heavenly Lord..."
Great Emperor Dongxu sighed inwardly, lowered his head, and revealed a respectful expression.
"Greetings, Heavenly Lord Wanjie!"
Behind him:
The Emperor Huan, the Dark Emperor, the Nine Phoenix Empress, and others all lowered their proud heads and bowed in respect.
"Greetings, Heavenly Lord Wanjie!"
No matter how unwilling you are in your heart--
At this moment, the Great Emperor Wanjie has truly entered the Realm of Heaven-Reaching, becoming the monarch of the heavens and a great being that they can only look up to!
They could only accept this reality and worship the ultimate victor!
Congratulations, junior brother.
Many Half-Step Heavenly Lord bowed, but only the Great Emperor Wanxing spoke with a smile, seemingly happy for Chen Qingyu.
"Senior brother!"
Chen Qingyu smiled slightly and joked:
"I should congratulate you too!"
With that, he suddenly threw away the remaining golden apples in his hand:
"Next, senior brother!"
"Ah?"
Great Emperor Wanxing was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously reached out to catch it:
The heavy golden apple immediately fell into his palm.
"This..."
Great Emperor Wanxing opened his eyes wide and froze.
The Great Emperor Dongxu, the Emperor Huan, and others standing nearby were also taken aback, their expressions changing drastically.
Just now:
They witnessed Chen Qingyu ascend to the Realm of the Heavenly Lord, their emotions were extremely complex, and they almost forgot this astonishing fact—
The "blessing" bestowed upon Chen Qingyu by the convergence of the Five Great Divine Artifacts was this golden apple. Chen Qingyu took only one bite and immediately stepped into the Realm of the Heavenly Lord.
In other words:
This gift is still almost intact, and might even be enough to allow another person to enter the Realm of Heaven-Reaching.
"This, this..."
The eyes of the Great Emperor Dongxu, the Emperor Huan, and others turned red, and a strong desire welled up in their hearts.
But they dared not make a move!
A true Heavenly Lord is right before them; a single thought from him would be enough to reduce them to dust. Who would dare to step forward at this moment?
"This truly is cause and effect, you reap what you sow..."
Many Half-Step Heavenly Lord felt a pang of envy:
No one expected this:
After receiving the gift, Chen Qingyu only swallowed a mouthful before entering the Realm of the Heavenly Lord. He then turned around and gave the rest to the Great Emperor Wanxing.
It could be said that Great Emperor Wanxing's earlier decision to give up actually benefited him.
"This..."
Great Emperor Wanxing held the golden apple, his heart filled with countless emotions.
He had already prepared to give up the path to becoming Heavenly Lord and make way for his junior brother.
In the blink of an eye, the "gift" he longed for fell into his hands, and he didn't even have to compete with others for it.
"Junior brother, thank you very much!"
He laughed heartily, and without refusing, swallowed the golden apple in a few bites.
In an instant:
Stimulated by the power of grace, his " Celestial Body Law " also began a rapid transformation, ignoring reason.
His accumulated power over millions of years was the most abundant among the Half-Step Heavenly Lord present, and with the power of his blessing not being lacking by much, the process went very smoothly.
Just a few breaths later--
Within the body of the Great Emperor Wanxing, an aura transcending heaven and earth burst forth, resonating with Chen Qingyu's aura.
"..."
At this moment, all the Half-Step Heavenly Lord present fell silent.
This sudden change was completely unexpected by all of them.
"Senior brother!"
Chen Qingyu smiled slightly and cupped his hands in greeting:
Congratulations on reaching the Realm of Heaven-Reaching!
"Hahaha..."
The Great Emperor Wanxing laughed loudly:
Congratulations to you! Congratulations to you!
At this point--
This protracted battle for the gift has finally come to a complete end.
The simultaneous birth of two Heavenly Lord heralded the arrival of a new era!
You provided the starting sign-in rewards for the legendary Zhuang Shisan, featuring Chen Qingyu from the Thirty-Six Heavenly Gang Transformations Zhuang Shisan.
