Signing In at Indestructible Mountain!

[Ding! The sign-in location has refreshed. Please proceed to Indestructible Mountain to sign in!]

The system ignored Fu Yuan's persistent badgering and announced the first task outright.

"Indestructible Mountain! The place where my father is recovering from his injuries."

"The original owner's body, a different soul. Can I fool a supreme Great Emperor?"

Fu Yuan wondered silently.

Perhaps it was because he had already died once, or perhaps the adventurous streak flowing in his marrow had been awakened.

At this moment, Fu Yuan was somewhat worried, but he was even more excited.

Fortune stuffed the bold to bursting and starved the timid to death.

Fu Yuan was in Abyss Heaven Palace, which his father, the Indestructible Heavenly Venerable, had built especially for him.

It was a full ten million li from Indestructible Mountain, a distance that would hardly have mattered when he was in the Divine Fire Realm.

But now he was only at the first level of Qi Condensation.

A forbidden zone was a place where the Great Dao could scarcely endure, Spiritual Qi was weak, and time flowed slowly.

Cultivating here was as slow as a crawling tortoise.

Fortunately, his father had left behind several puppets, which had awakened on their own when he emerged from the divine source and activated the great formation.

They were refined primarily from Chaos Heavenly Gold, supplemented by the souls of qilin Saint Emperors, and fused with the Great Dao of Indestructibility.

Fu Yuan's Dao guardian was the Qilin Emperor, a supreme puppet with the combat strength of a Saint Emperor.

The center of the Indestructible Forbidden Zone.

Indestructible Mountain.

Chaos Qi wreathed the mountain, the sound of the Great Dao rang out from time to time, and wisps of emperor's might emerged, their pressure reaching far beyond a hundred thousand li.

For beings below the Saint Realm, let alone climbing Indestructible Mountain, merely coming within ten thousand li would mean being killed in an instant by the terrifying emperor's might and reduced to dust.

It was not the Indestructible Heavenly Venerable manifesting his power, but the pressure of his Great Emperor Weapon, the Imperishable Heavenly Wheel.

Under the Qilin Emperor's protection, Fu Yuan reached the foot of Indestructible Mountain and looked up at the peak towering into the clouds.

Astonishing!

Astonishing!!

Nothing but astonishing!!!

Its towering height was beyond measure, millions upon millions of li, high enough to rival the heavens.

Sign in! Fu Yuan said silently.

[Ding! Sign-in at Indestructible Mountain successful. Congratulations, host, you have obtained a nine-star sign-in reward: a choice of one of three strongest physiques.]

[Please make your selection, host: one, Chaos Divine Body; two, Ancient Desolate Sacred Body; three, Myriad Tribulations Indestructible Physique.]

Fu Yuan's expression lit up with excitement, his eyes burning with fervor.

The Chaos Divine Body, also known as the Banished Immortal Body, was virtually the strongest physique in the red-haired monster's novels.

It could evolve all things and destroy the myriad Daos.

Even in an era when a Great Emperor had just fallen and the myriad Daos mourned in unison, it would not be affected in the slightest.

Most terrifying of all, even if an emperor already ruled the age, a Chaos Physique could defy the heavens and change its fate, attaining a second emperor's throne.

It was an invincible physique that virtually guaranteed its possessor would attain the throne of an emperor.

The Ancient Desolate Sacred Body was renowned for its matchless fleshly body. Even the Heavenly Tyrant Body and Zhoutian Star Physique fell a shade short of it, making it unquestionably one of the strongest physiques.

It was also Fu Yuan's favorite sacred body in his previous life.

The Indestructible Physique was even more familiar. His father possessed it and had used it to create the Indestructible Scripture, dominate the ages, and overawe the heavens, earning the title of the greatest fiend since the Immortal Ancient era.

As for the Myriad Tribulations Indestructible Physique, its name alone showed how freaking awesome it was. Who knew how many levels above his father's it stood?

Inside Indestructible Mountain, in the Pool of Creation.

A naked man soaked in the pool. Heaven and earth could not bear his fleshly body, and unparalleled Dao principles pervaded the air.

"Little Yuan!"

He opened his eyes, which were like two great suns hanging high beyond the mortal world. They were too powerful, too terrifying.

It was as though he bore heaven and earth on his shoulders, the sun, moon, and stars revolved around him, and the Great Daos and laws of the heavens moved according to his will.

"The Desolate Ancient era, the most calamitous age of Dao extinction. The 'monsters' hiding behind the curtain, clinging to life in forbidden lands, will all emerge to seek that sliver of hope for survival."

"The victors become kings and nobles, the losers become outlaws; transcend beyond the heavens and enjoy freedom."

Fu, the Indestructible Heavenly Venerable, murmured on, his profound gaze seemingly piercing through past, present, and future.

Fu Yuan was different from his two elder brothers. When he was born, the outer domains invaded, the flames of war engulfed the Three Thousand Worlds, and Fu, who had only recently become a Great Emperor, fought a life-and-death battle against a Dao Venerable (emperor) from the outer domains.

That was the greatest regret of Fu's life. Xi's origin and life were damaged, and Fu Yuan had been forced to be born prematurely, leaving defects in both his physique and bloodline.

"Each person's fortune is theirs to determine, and each must walk their own path." Fu's gaze was loving. "Only the most perilous age can bring about the most supreme emperor's throne!"

With a wave of his great hand, a wisp of origin emperor Qi surged out and headed toward the foot of Indestructible Mountain.

His sunlike eyes closed. In an age of great strife and chaos, he needed to make every possible preparation.

"Let's go back, Uncle Qilin." Fu Yuan withdrew his gaze and was just about to turn and leave when a mass of gentle energy suddenly surged into his body.

[Ding! Indestructible Origin Emperor Qi detected, nourishing the host's body!]

The Indestructible Origin Emperor Qi remained in Fu Yuan's dantian, gently nourishing his fleshly body.

A single wisp of origin emperor Qi was precious beyond imagining.

Fu Yuan had grown up in an orphanage in his previous life and had been a loner. Let alone parental love, he had had scarcely any friends.

A warm current immediately welled up in his heart, and an indescribable feeling arose within him.

Perhaps the original owner's soul had not yet completely dissipated and was affecting him, for his eyes grew damp without his noticing.

"I, Yuan, thank you, Father!"

Dressed in white, the youth bowed toward Indestructible Mountain in thanks.

It arose from feeling, from the heart.

Abyssal Heaven Hall.

Fu Yuan had thought about many things on the way back.

He had ruled out the Ancient Desolate Sacred Body first, not because it was too weak, but because the other two physiques were too strong.

One was the Chaos Divine Body, with which becoming a Great Emperor was a certainty.

The other was the Myriad Tribulations Indestructible Physique, stronger than his father's Indestructible Physique and compatible with the cultivation technique he practiced, the Indestructible Emperor Scripture.

Both were invincible physiques, making the choice difficult.

"I choose the Myriad Tribulations Indestructible Physique!"

After a long deliberation, Fu Yuan finally made his choice.

His father and two elder brothers were all Great Emperors. If he chose the Chaos Divine Body, there was no guarantee they would not notice something amiss.

Rebirth through possession was nothing rare in the cultivation world.

The Myriad Tribulations Indestructible Physique presented no such problem. The cultivation world had always spoken of bloodline awakenings, reversions to ancestral traits, and traits approaching those of one's ancestors.

Many physiques awakened suddenly at some stage of cultivation.

[Myriad Tribulations Indestructible Physique activating!]

The system's utterly ethereal voice rang out in his mind.

Fu Yuan's body began to transform and ascend.

His red blood began to boil, and a small portion turned gold.

His fleshly body slowly began to rumble, as though shackles were being broken one after another.

Mysterious phenomena began to unfold. The great yin and the sun appeared together in the sky, while flames and ice turned into tiny flowers that descended from beyond the heavens. They were the Dao principles of destruction and divinity.

The great yin receded, and the last flowers of ice fell. The golden sun changed, and an intensely blood-red sun shone, as though rivers of blood were sweeping across heaven and earth.

The entire Abyss Heaven Palace was shrouded by the blood sun, which continued to spread, staining ten million li of the forbidden zone red.

Dazzling blood-red light flickered around Fu Yuan, slowly turning pale gold.

Ignoring the rules of decay and ruin in the forbidden zone of life, it blossomed with vitality and manifested divinity.

It was transforming, transcending the ordinary.

The Indestructible Forbidden Zone, Netherworld Valley.

"Abyss Heaven Palace?" Fu You was slightly moved. A wisp of his divine sense awakened and looked across hundreds of millions of li toward the center of the nine blood suns.
