After Xu Long sank into the ground for a while, the lightning bolt had already swept across his head.
A bolt of lightning from beyond the heavens appeared and disappeared without a trace. In the blink of an eye, it caused panic among the beings in the temple.
Meanwhile, the horde of ferocious beasts all around seemed to have finally realized the strangeness of Xu Long.
The ferocious beasts that had been gathering earlier began to stir strangely under the overwhelming power of the heavens.
But for some reason, the beast tide that had gathered on the land of Lai Province was still surging.
Although their formation was cleaved apart by a bolt of purple lightning, some intelligent being seemed to be lurking within those black waves, intimidating the countless ferocious beasts in the arena.
This allows the beast horde to maintain a dense formation even when gripped by fear, and it continues to improve and recover even after sustaining damage.
There must be another secret behind the beast tide. A beast tide of such a massive scale must require a great many intelligent beings.
After being struck by a Divine Punishment Lightning Tribulation, the ferocious beasts surrounding Xu Long began to stir within the beast tide in front of him.
However, they were all temporarily suppressed and had not completely dispersed from the dojo. Watching the beast tide withstand the calamity, Xu Long's thoughts quickly returned to the present.
His will re-examined the Heavenly Dao, striving to stir up the Heavenly Dao's Reincarnation Temple within the Earth Realm, while simultaneously unlocking the great power hidden within the Celestial Phenomenon.
With Divine Punishment Lightning Tribulation in front and a horde of ferocious beasts behind, Xu Long must find a balance of energy to escape this perilous situation.
Thoughts raced, and the Law of Slaughter within the Celestial Phenomenon were activated!
Tiny inscriptions appeared in the Celestial Phenomenon, and a strange energy emanated from beyond the heavens.
With the help of this energy from beyond the heavens, Xu Long was not disturbed or suppressed by the Origin Will.
Passing through the barrier between the Mahayana Stage and the Earth Immortal Realm, they first arrived at a wondrous place, where their will was already attempting to influence the Reincarnation Temple of Heavenly Dao.
The truths about the world that Xu Long gleaned from the Emperor's tombstone flashed through his mind, and he began to recall his experiences in the Sea of Suffering and Calamity.
Finally, the internal Magic Power was separated into two streams, which condensed in the dantian into two streams of Magic Power that were of the same origin but different natures.
When he revealed his own inscription, the source beyond the nine heavens immediately sensed something amiss.
This is energy that transcends a single world; it belongs to the Hundun beyond the heavens.
To be within the Earth Realm yet to desire freedom from the Origin Will, and even to presume to invoke the Reincarnation Temple Heavenly Dao reincarnation—this is nothing short of a provocation against the Origin Will!
Rumble!
At this moment, black clouds rapidly gathered beyond the nine heavens, and muffled thunder rumbled from beneath the gloomy sky.
Countless bolts of lightning were summoned in an instant, roaring incessantly behind the black clouds.
The black clouds condensed together and quickly coalesced into a vast expanse, stretching across the sky with an imposing and heavy presence.
One after another, the black clouds seemed to be wrapped together in a regular pattern, and then began to rotate under a tremendous force.
With the blessing of this great power, the black clouds had transformed into calamity clouds, and the lightning flowing within them endowed them with Wuxian might.
Beyond the heavens, there seemed to be an invisible hand, constantly drawing clouds here and capturing bolts of lightning.
Once formed by the tribulation clouds and lightning, a violent aura emanated from them.
Above the land of Lai Province within the Earth Realm, a vortex of calamity clouds had begun to spin.
The dojo was gloomy, as if a lid had been placed over the heavens and earth, and a heavy and oppressive atmosphere rose in the hearts of countless ferocious beasts.
Xu Long in the arena was enveloped by a divine might. No matter what he did, a giant eye always kept a firm grip on him from within the deep vortex!
Xu Long, who was trapped underground, began to struggle to break free. He had already done everything in his power to resist the lightning strike that had forced him into the ground.
But after falling to the ground, he found that the solid ground was like a copper and iron cage, holding him firmly in place.
Taking advantage of the dissipation of the lightning's power, Xu Long needed to find a way to escape his current predicament.
Otherwise, once the remaining lightning strikes follow, one will be put in a passive position.
Click! Click!
Before Xu Long could think further, a sudden burst of light appeared within the ceaselessly spinning vortex in the air.
The gloomy world was suddenly illuminated by a beam of intense light, as if a bright lamp had been turned on.
Within that blinding light, countless beings saw a long dragon sweeping down from the heavens along the ground.
The long dragon, wrapped in lightning and arcs of electricity, burst out of the tribulation clouds in an instant, like a wild horse, completely uncontrolled by the vortex, and arrived inside the dojo in just a moment.
Fortunately, Xu Long was prepared. Sensing something unusual within the vortex, he escaped from the solid ground first.
With a loud "bang," a figure stood upright once more between heaven and earth.
He tilted his head back and gazed at the sky, his eyes radiating a light that the Spot stars.
As some tiny inscriptions went straight into the deep vortex, the bolt of lightning had already struck.
Xu Long's gloomy face was suddenly illuminated, and the purple lightning and fire approached his eyes like the sun.
Then, in an instant, the light went out, and Xu Long's face showed a resolute expression in the flickering light.
By the time the curtain wall was reassembled and all his magical Magic Power was gathered, the lightning bolt, carrying thunder and fire, was already overhead.
Clap clap clap!
A series of loud noises came from above.
Xu Long poured out his Magic Power frantically, but under the force of the lightning, the curtain wall that was rolling out was instantly shattered.
Xu Long stood upright beneath the curtain wall, seemingly gaining some profound insight into the crisis of the collapsing curtain wall.
He quickly channeled his Magic Power, advancing instead of retreating, and actually rushed towards the vortex in the sky.
At this moment, lightning flashed above Xu Long, and his body was tightly restrained by a long dragon.
However, due to his unusual actions, it looked more like Xu Long was holding up a long dragon of lightning.
The beast horde beneath them panicked, but after gathering together, they made up for the losses in the training ground.
However, because Xu Long's body rose abnormally, the ferocious beast tide between the mountains was completely exposed to the Divine Punishment Lightning Tribulation.
Without Xu Long as a large target on the ground, the Divine Punishment Lightning Tribulation will certainly not distinguish between you and me when it descends.
Rumble!
A deafening roar erupted overhead, and with the curtain wall no longer obstructing it, the extremely powerful and intense energy surged into Xu Long's body.
After the eruption, the lightning became even more resolute, seemingly imbued with the might of heaven, and its energy release was exceptionally powerful.
A massive bolt of lightning completely engulfed Xu Long, his upright figure bathed in thunder and fire in the air.
Layers of electric arcs wrapped around his body, causing the Magic Power within Xu Long's body to pause for a moment.
When the Magic Power was forced to stop, the body exposed to the lightning and fire instantly crackled with a series of sounds.
The blazing lightning scorched Xu Long's robes, and the dense electric sparks shattered the defensive light shield around him.
Under that violent energy, Xu Long's entire body was enveloped.
A tremendous force descended upon his body, and the overwhelming might of heaven invaded his mind.
The Body of Oblivion, which was originally extremely defensive, was instantly exploded under the lightning, and a storm surged within its Sea of Consciousness.
Xu Long was in excruciating pain, both mentally and physically. His momentum had waned after the lightning attack, and once he was bathed in the lightning, the bolt of lightning had already vanished.
The Celestial Phenomenon overhead continued to pour in energy, and Xu Long dared not rest for even a moment in the air.
The lightning just now was merely a test from the Origin Will; the lightning that follows will be the true divine punishment!
The moment the thought crossed his mind, he felt the air currents in the air freeze instantly, and the surrounding spatial barriers deformed.
The lightning surging within the vortex had already blazed brightly, making the gloomy world resemble a giant lantern, from which a burst of explosive flame erupted!
Click!
When the flames were unleashed in an instant, the swirling vortex seemed to be torn apart.
A long bolt of lightning, seemingly without end, streaked continuously through the clouds of calamity.
It descended upon the land of Lai Province with an aura of supreme power.
Click!
A piercing sound echoed between heaven and earth.
The lightning within this vortex was even more powerful, carrying thunder and fire in the instant it swept out.
Before the thunder and fire could illuminate the heavens and earth, layers of lightning immediately followed.
When the invisible lightning and thunder meet, they appear as a straight beam in the air.
When it shot out from the deep vortex, it was like the gaze of a giant eye, as if it were scrutinizing this world!
When Xu Long saw the straight bolt of lightning flash by, his heart trembled violently in his chest.
His gaze, which he had just shot towards the sky, seemed to have been dismissed with disdain by the Origin Will.
With a touch of inherent arrogance, the only response he received was a straight bolt of lightning.
Perhaps this is the gaze of the Origin Will, and its attitude towards any living being that dares to rebel.
Buzz!
A high-pitched sword cry resounded across the sky.
The beasts below were all jolted. Having experienced the power of the sword light, they instinctively began to stir when the sword rang out again.
After the sword's cry resounded across the sky, the lightning and fire in Xu Long were instantly replaced by a stream of light.
He knew as the lightning struck that his body would be no match for it.
So, in a flash of inspiration, he summoned a sword light.
A streak of light flashed across the sky, and a chilling sword aura burst forth with the Power of Oblivion.
A long, sharp beam appeared in the gloomy sky, its edge seemingly capable of Heaven-Slaying, splitting open this gloomy world as it swept past.
The scene inside the dojo was like a closed scroll, which was completely dissected after the sword light appeared.
Xu Long's body twisted, and he felt as if he were facing a formidable enemy when he met the gaze of this Origin Will.
As the sword light swept in, he unleashed a chilling sharpness beneath the sky.
At this moment, the gaze from above descended, its immense power seemingly piercing through him completely.
The power of the Origin Will had already invaded Sea of Consciousness, and the resulting confinement left Xu Long with no way to escape.
It wants every living being to know that a single, direct gaze can render a person incapable of resistance!
Clang!
The sound of metal clashing echoed throughout the heavens and earth.
The streak of light grew brighter and brighter in my eyes, finally merging with the long bolt of lightning.
The sharp edge and the violent lightning, when they converged in an instant, seemed irreconcilable.
At this moment, Xu Long had no choice. Under the pressure of the lightning, he could only endure the sword light as it soared to the heavens, even trying to probe the gaze within the deep darkness.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The sound of metal clashing echoed across the sky, its sharp edge possessing the power to Heaven-Slaying, and after it burst forth, it was invincible.
The straight lightning bolts seemed endless, and even under the threat of their sharpness, they did not retreat an inch.
When the two converge, they cause the spatial barriers in this area to deform violently.
The sound of "crackling" echoed in the air above the dojo, and the fragments of the shattered spatial barrier were completely pulverized in the chaotic energy.
The lightning above Xu Long continued to descend, and his deep gaze seemed endless.
Despite the sword light constantly shattering the raging lightning, Xu Long's body was still falling rapidly.
Perhaps this dust is the true place for cultivators. This unwavering gaze will tell Xu Long through its actions not to harbor any thoughts of overstepping his bounds!
A series of "crackling" sounds came from above, and the sharpness of the sword light had already surged up layer after layer.
Xu Long's body was repeatedly forced back by the sword light, and scattered lightning and arcs of electricity raged across his body.
The skin on his body burst open inch by inch, revealing a blood-red stain between his bones and muscles.
Before Xu Long's Body of Oblivion could recover, violent energy surged again in his Sea of Consciousness.
The precious light on the spiritual platform flickered, and Xu Long was greatly alarmed, a rare look of fear appearing between his brows.
With a thought in mind, the Celestial Phenomenon in the sky trembled, and tiny inscriptions adhered to the sword light.
The sharp, cold light in the air suddenly gained momentum, its long blade seemingly cleaving the sky, illuminating the gloomy world completely.
With a loud clang, the lightning overhead was shattered in an instant, and the sword light swirled away in the air.
The swirling vortex beyond the nine heavens showed signs of momentarily stopping.
The powerful Power of Laws drew in the energy from beyond the heavens, and when it manifested within the Earth Realm, it had already broken free of its control.
Behind the deep, dark clouds, the muffled thunder stopped for a moment, and the giant eye behind the vortex seemed to be watching Xu Long.
The Power of Laws just now was something no ordinary cultivator could unleash...
The thunder following the storm clouds paused for only a moment, and then muffled thunderclaps erupted one after another from within the thick vortex.
The rumbling thunder echoed within the clouds of calamity, and countless arcs of electricity converged beyond the heavens.
The Power of Laws that had just been revealed clearly provoked the wrath of the Origin Will, and the lightning that descended now was far more powerful than before.
Xu Long raised his head in the air, a resolute look appearing in his bloodied and mottled eyes.
He had already separated Magic Power within his body. Despite the raging lightning earlier, he still managed to spare a wisp of his mind for his dantian.
The separated Magic Power will converge into two streams, after which one will truly peer into the heavens, thus embarking on the path to immortality.
However, the gaze from behind that vortex seemed to forbid Xu Long from overstepping his bounds any further.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
A tremendous sound echoed across the land of Lai Province, and streaks of lightning rushed in from beyond the heavens.
The energy that had been brewing within the tribulation clouds had now descended upon the land of Lai Province with overwhelming power.
The roaring horde of beasts was suddenly jolted by the sound.
The sky and earth seemed to change color, and the already darkening sky was already caused by the dense clouds of calamity.
But at that moment, as lightning raged, it illuminated the world brightly.
The power of the Nine Heavens is unpredictable, the arts of Heavenly Dao are unfathomable, and the status quo of the Origin Will dominating the Earth Realm is unchangeable!
Xu Long stood upright in the air. Although the lightning above his head brought violent energy one after another, he still focused his mind on his dantian.
The two streams of Magic Power that had been separated earlier had begun to fluctuate, but the pure energy transmitted through the Celestial Phenomenon seemed to be running out of steam.
Xu Long's heart sank. This was probably due to excessive consumption of Magic Power during the battle against the Divine Punishment Lightning Tribulation...
A fierce bolt of lightning struck overhead, leaving Xu Long with no other choice.
After separating his Magic Power, he had already stepped one foot into the path of immortality, waiting only for the pure and turbid energies to condense in his dantian.
Only then can it be said that one has crossed the boundary and Immortal Realm.
Just as the lightning arrived in fury, a sword rang out with a "whoosh," and a surge of sword energy swept across the sky.
The sword flashed through the dense wind and rain, tearing through the dark sky.
It burst forth amidst endless thunder, fire, and lightning, and proudly emerged from its sheath under the overwhelming might of heaven.
The long trail was swallowed by lightning and fire, leaving what appeared to be a burning ribbon behind the sword light.
Amidst the thunder, fire, and lightning World-Breaking Blade's temperature soared dramatically, carrying the powerful aura bestowed upon it by its master, as it slashed fiercely at the incoming lightning!
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The deafening clang of metal clashing against metal beneath the sky was deafening!
Thunder and fire, reflecting the sword light, erupted beneath the vortex. A purple flame, carrying an energy shockwave, ignited in an instant, shining with boundless power across the sky.
The gaze from beyond the heavens grew increasingly cold, and the lightning and thunder raged with even greater ferocity.
The sword light was constantly scorched by the thunder and fire, and under the rolling heavenly might, it seemed that even this immortal artifact was about to melt.
The sword light, imbued with Power of Oblivion, floated amidst the lightning. With it above Xu Long's head, shielding him from the lightning...
Below the Celestial Phenomenon, Xu Long gathered his breath in his abdomen. Before his Origin Will could reveal any other means, he shook out a pale blue energy potion from his sleeve.
The two energy potions made from the Inner Core of the Mist Beast were on Xu Long's person. He had prepared one as a precaution, but unexpectedly, Xu Long's wish came true.
There were indeed many obstacles when World Breaking. Although the Magic Power in the dantian had been separated, the Divine Punishment Lightning Tribulation had reached a certain level.
The successive lightning strikes caused Xu Long's Magic Power to be rapidly depleted, and even the Celestial Phenomenon began to actively absorb the spiritual energy from the outside world.
This is not because the potion contains insufficient energy, but because it is being coerced by Divine Punishment Lightning Tribulation.
When the Magic Power was condensing in the dantian, an obstacle was encountered—an obstacle from the Origin Will!
Now that things had come to this, Xu Long could no longer worry about the side effects of the energy potion. After shaking out the pale blue potion, he immediately swallowed it.
The two doses of medicine were taken into the stomach in succession, and the chill from before expanded in an instant.
Xu Long's body was already surrounded by lightning and fire, but at this moment, the chilling aura rising within him suddenly surged up as well.
Surrounded by two completely different energies, Xu Long felt himself sinking into mud.
Even within his Sea of Consciousness, the convergence of the two energies caused a constant turbulence.
The Celestial Phenomenon overhead began to rotate, and the billowing cold air transformed into pure energy that surged within his body.
With the boost from the two energy potions, the previous lack of stamina was swept away, and the pure and turbid Magic Power in his dantian began to condense rapidly.
Xu Long's will also stirred the Reincarnation Temple of Heavenly Dao within the Earth Realm, as he constantly recalled the truths and insights he gained from the Great Emperor's tombstone.
Then, recalling his experiences on the path of cultivation, various things converged in Xu Long's mind.
He kept asking himself how to proceed on the path to immortality, how to withstand the storms of the Sea of Suffering and Calamity, and how to uphold the Great Dao within his heart...
Xu Long is located in the myriad realms of the heavens, and his cultivation level is between the Mahayana Stage and the Earth Immortal Realm.
At this moment, when the pure and turbid Magic Power in his dantian was filled with a cold energy, a wisp of mist was born between the two.
The pure and turbid Magic Power that had merged were clearly separated in the misty air. At this moment, his dantian seemed to be like the beginning of heaven and earth, possessing a unique and mysterious beauty.
Xu Long slowly circulated the two different Magic Power, recalling the various experiences he had had at the Mahayana Stage.
With two doses of energy potion, a misty aura rose in his dantian, clumsily mimicking the Hundun chaos of creation.
This aura signifies that Xu Long has crossed the boundary and embarked on his own path to immortality in the journey of cultivation.
Perhaps in the blink of an eye, he will achieve the Immortal Realm.
But at this moment, as if sensing something, the various images flashing through Xu Long's mind suddenly stopped...
The Mahayana Stage and the Earth Immortal Realm are the watershed in the cultivation world. Once crossed, one enters a new world and achieves Undying and Indestructible Body.
Only by achieving the Earth Immortal Realm realm can one truly step into the world and have the opportunity to break through to the Twofold Immortal realm.
When the opportunity is most plentiful, one can even look up to the Saint Realm of the Threefold Immortal!
Since it is a watershed moment, it means that it has been separated from the previous path of cultivation, and all that was before has been severed, so it really cannot exist in the heart.
Entering the path of immortality signifies that a cultivator has made great progress, demonstrated great perseverance, and encountered great opportunities in their cultivation journey.
But it represents a permanent break from the past, thus creating a new self.
The path of cultivation is about transcending emotions. Perhaps the reason why countless cultivators are stuck at this stage is not because their cultivation level is insufficient, but more so because they cannot overcome the threshold in their hearts.
They had been trapped in the Mahayana Stage, as if they were in a cocoon, and had not opened their eyes to see that immortal world for a long time.
Or perhaps they are Wuxian attached to their past, which leads to their Dao Heart not being enlightened when they cross the threshold, thus remaining trapped in the Mahayana Stage stage for life.
Previously, in the Legend of Mount Shu World, Xu Long had encountered Changkong Wuji and Li Yingqi.
They were originally cultivation partners, and had been following White Eyebrows in their practice for many years, so why couldn't they cross the threshold of Earth Immortal?
It's simply that there are lingering feelings in their hearts, and tears welling up in their eyes, making it impossible for them to harden their hearts and sever their desires.
They were already attached to each other, so how could they forget their past on the path to immortality?
If embarking on the path to immortality requires severing all emotional ties and relinquishing mortal desires, then what kind of immortality are we cultivating? What kind of path are we seeking?
Therefore, in the end, Changkong Wuji and Li Yingqi chose to reveal their true feelings.
They realized their feelings for each other in their hearts and confronted the desires and passions of cultivators on the Great Dao.
They may have been separated for a long time, but their unwavering loyalty to each other is admirable.
They proved that when cultivators seek truth on the Great Dao, they are not emotionless or desireless people, nor are they unscrupulous people, but rather people with flesh and blood, hearts and thoughts.
I am unwilling to sever my emotional ties for the sake of the Great Dao or the path to immortality; I only wish to face death for my own sake and for the sake of my true self.
Countless cultivators may choose to forget their past and embark on the path of immortality, but there are also cultivators who, in order to preserve their original nature, choose to dissolve their bodies at the Mahayana Stage stage for the rest of their lives!
This is about love versus indifference, about the path to immortality versus the Great Dao. How to choose is entirely up to the cultivator's own heart!
Xu Long is unlike a young man. The true nature of a young man is that of a descendant of True Dragon, and he can be described as a person without emotion or desire.
Therefore, the young man's journey to immortality was very smooth, and he faced no obstacles when cultivating at the Earth Immortal Realm realm.
Perhaps in his eyes, being devoid of emotion and desire is true truth; his true intention is to pursue the Great Dao, until he explores the ultimate path to immortality...
When Xu Long achieved the Earth Immortal Realm realm, all the previous events flashed through his mind repeatedly.
The precious light above his mind's eye had reached its peak, but Xu Long's expression was one of struggle, as if he were lost in endless thoughts.
The swirling energy within his dantian had already risen, and the pure and turbid Magic Power had separated.
At this moment, Xu Long was facing the final moment of breaking through to the Earth Immortal Realm realm, and the Magic Power flowing in his body needed to undergo a qualitative change.
Perhaps in the blink of an eye, Xu Long will become a true Earth Immortal!
The Magic Power within his body was already as heavy as a thousand pounds, and its flow showed signs of stagnation.
At this moment, a huge wave surged in Xu Long's Sea of Consciousness, and one image after another flashed through his mind.
His face showed a look of struggle as he repeatedly questioned himself: What kind of immortality am I cultivating? What kind of path am I seeking?
Do I really have to forget the past and sever all so-called desires? Or am I inherently a person without feelings or desires in this world?
Achieving immortality is of paramount importance, but is this truly my true intention?
Xu Long felt he had fallen into a paradox. He had originally thought his biggest obstacle was the boundary, but now he realized that the real obstacle might come from within himself!
No matter how he questioned himself, he seemed to have no definite answer in his heart, and as he circulated his Magic Power, a sense of powerlessness suddenly surged up.
Even the most powerful cultivators can be vulnerable when confronting their own conscience.
Even the once omnipotent great cultivator felt a sense of disorientation when questioning himself.
Xu Long's experiences on his path of cultivation were anything but ordinary; he found himself unable to forget the things that had happened in the past.
Even in that split second, he hesitated for a long time, seemingly caught in a mental dilemma.
The two streams of magical Magic Power that had been condensing within his body suddenly stopped, and the swirling energy within his dantian began to contract.
As Xu Long's consciousness faltered, the Magic Power within his body, which was about to undergo a qualitative change, also began to stagnate.
This is an extremely dangerous sign, as countless cultivators have stopped here.
They cannot make up their minds, and therefore cannot confront their true selves.
The opportunities on the Great Path were lost to them, and from then on, their path to immortality was hopeless, and they were stuck in the Mahayana Stage for the rest of their lives.
Xu Long had made all the preparations, even preparing two doses of energy potions for himself.
He believed that he would not be destroyed by the Divine Punishment Lightning Tribulation and that he would be able to leap over it on the path to immortality.
But only then did he realize that his greatest obstacle was not the obstruction of his Origin Will, but rather his own heart...
The sword light in the air continued to whistle incessantly, and the lightning within the vortex continued its furious rampage.
Thunder, lightning, and sharp edges clashed in an instant, illuminating a patch of gloomy clouds in the sky.
The indifferent gaze of the Origin Will will lingered above the land of Lai Province, causing all the ferocious beasts in the dojo below to stir.
Terrified by this overwhelming divine power, their formation was thrown into disarray, and the lightning, cleaved by the sword light, descended directly upon the beast horde.
The violent arcs of electricity turned countless ferocious beasts into dust. Under the might of heaven, all are equal, Origin Will will never care about the leakage of the lightning's power.
Under that overwhelming aura, all living beings were mere ants in its eyes.
The once dense beast tide was disrupted by the lightning, and all the ferocious beasts in the mountains perished.
The world was filled with an aura of extreme strength and intensity, and the violent energy, after passing through the sword light, was released indiscriminately into the beast tide.
Under the lightning, the black tide was cut into pieces, and the ferocious beasts on the land of Lai Province were all shaken by the wrath of the heavens.
As if some intelligent being was directing them, perhaps anticipating the heavy losses of the ferocious beasts, the restless beast tide began to scatter.
They began to actively avoid the location of Xu Long's training ground, and a piece of land suddenly appeared in the midst of a black tide.
Finally, a slight change appeared on the land of Lai Province.
For some reason, although the beast tide avoided Xu Long's dojo, it still lurked around the nearby mountains.
The countless ferocious beasts trampled the surrounding mountains flat as they ravaged the area, as if they had been deliberately gathered here.
Despite being quite intimidated by the might of the heavens, the high-level ferocious beasts that drove them still firmly controlled the group.
These massive beast tides constantly lurked and chased after various Daoist temples in Lai Province, suggesting that the beast tides were carrying out some kind of conspiracy on the land of Lai Province.
Taking advantage of the Earth Realm of the guardian Saint, they unleashed this massive beast tide. What exactly is their purpose...?
Rumble!
A tremendous sound resounded from beyond the heavens.
The lightning within the vortex seemed poised to overturn in an instant, and the enormous sound reached Xu Long's ears like a thunderclap.
Xu Long, who was hesitating, was startled, and then, as if waking from a dream, he regained his self-awareness within the Earth Realm.
At this moment, he tried to mobilize his Magic Power, but the Magic Power in his dantian was almost stagnant, and he could not mobilize the Magic Power between his meridians no matter what he did.
At this moment, the Celestial Phenomenon continued to deliver energy, and the energy accumulating in Xu Long's body had formed a rolling vortex.
With the massive influx of energy, the Magic Power within the dantian had begun to become disordered.
The Magic Power that was supposed to cause a qualitative change had now been piled up in layers.
What caused the change in the energy within his dantian was not the endless energy, but rather Xu Long's own consciousness falling into hesitation.
The single thought in his heart on the path to immortality has become his greatest obstacle.
Xu Long pondered for a long time, but was finally interrupted by a loud noise. The noise was like a sharp sword piercing his heart, and it resounded loudly as he was in a daze.
Xu Long made up his mind, and the image that flashed through his mind froze for a moment. Then, a wisp of his will looked inward at himself, and in that frozen image, he saw his own resolute face!
Splash!
The turmoil in his Sea of Consciousness subsided in an instant.
The stagnant Magic Power in Xu Long's dantian began to loosen again.
He looked up at the sky, his eyes fixed intently on the deep, dark vortex.
When the straight lightning struck again, Xu Long, who was under the swirling clouds of calamity, no longer dodged.
Instead, he straightened his chest, gathered a breath from his abdomen, and then released it from his throat, the surging Magic Power transforming into a long howl in the air:
"Imperial Edict!"
