Defying Comprehension, Creating the Grand Destiny Art, Shocking Lord Tongtian

It was as if the apocalypse had arrived.

The final tribulation bolt had completely transformed into a black wrathful dragon. Carrying incomparable might, it crashed fiercely toward Hongxuan below.

"Clang!"

Just as the tribulation lightning was about to swallow Hongxuan whole, a golden bell-shaped phantom hovered above his head, completely blocking the bolt.

The bell's chime rippled outward.

Other than the mountain where Hongxuan stood, every surrounding mountain range was completely flattened.

It was as if they had never existed.

This bell-shaped phantom was one of the divine abilities he had created over the years—the Golden Bell Shield.

It was specially designed for defense.

It had been inspired by the Golden Bell Shield he knew from his previous life.

He had not expected it to work so well.

Even beneath the final heavenly tribulation, Hongxuan remained completely unscathed.

The heavenly tribulation seemed extremely unwilling, but in the end, it could only disperse helplessly.

The sky returned to normal.

Hongxuan had successfully transcended the heavenly tribulation and officially advanced to become a Desolate Celestial.

From this day onward, he was no longer mortal.

At the same time, a beam of Heavenly Dao immortal light descended from the sky and enveloped Hongxuan, completing the final baptism of immortality.

The true essence within Hongxuan's body rapidly transformed into immortal essence.

The Body Refinement Art advanced as well, successfully reaching the fourth revolution.

A majestic Dharma manifestation condensed behind him, making Hongxuan appear ever more grand, solemn, and domineering.

Most incredible of all—

Hongxuan's original mortal body had also advanced into the Foundation of a low-grade Innate God.

His talent for cultivation had directly transformed to an entirely new level.

Not far away, the Three Xiao Sisters, who had been closely watching Hongxuan, wore expressions of disbelief.

They had never expected that merely transcending a single Immortal Ascension Tribulation would bring about such an enormous transformation in Hongxuan.

Could the Nine-Nine Immortal Ascension Tribulation really be this effective?!

It truly was a tremendous fortune!

Originally, they had been worried that Hongxuan's Foundation was too poor and would affect his future potential.

Now, they could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"Hongxuan, pack up. We're leaving immediately. In eighty years, Master will expound the Great Dao on Golden Ao Island!"

"For you, this sermon is an enormous opportunity. You absolutely must not miss it!"

Another year passed.

Ever since transcending the tribulation and becoming immortal, Hongxuan had remained in seclusion, contemplating all that he had gained and thoroughly digesting it until it became fully integrated into his understanding.

On this day—

Yunxiao's voice transmission reached his ears. Hongxuan instantly awoke and understood.

Twenty years of life had allowed him to completely integrate into the Human Race's daily life.

At the thought of leaving, he felt somewhat reluctant.

However, for the Great Dao and to become stronger, this was not a place where he could remain for long.

The following day, outside the tribe.

Seeing the familiar faces who had all come to see him off, Hongxuan felt deeply gratified.

His efforts over the years had not been in vain.

From a small tribe that had been utterly ruined and could have been destroyed at any moment, it had leaped into becoming one of the Human Race's top major tribes.

It was filled with talent, with countless Martial Dao experts and many immortal cultivators gathered there.

Hongxuan had played a decisive role in all of this.

If not for the lack of time—and more importantly, the fact that his strength was still insufficient—

he would certainly have developed the tribe into something even stronger.

Unfortunately, if he truly did that, once he left, the tribe would not be far from destruction.

He still understood the principle that excess was as bad as deficiency!

"Patriarch, everyone, take care!"

"Immortal Master, you must take care as well. May your path of immortality flourish forever!"

"Haha, thank you for your kind words. We're off!"

Hongxuan laughed heartily, immediately mounted an auspicious cloud, and swiftly departed with the Three Xiao Sisters.

"The Immortal Master is destined for greatness. Our tiny tribe cannot hold him back!"

"Perhaps before long, the Human Race will need the Immortal Master to protect us!"

Someone could not help but sigh.

When they first met, Hongxuan had only been an infant.

They had watched Hongxuan grow up with their own eyes.

As Hongxuan grew in his early years, they too had shared in his glory!

The Immortal Master had helped their tribe rise. They needed to work hard as well and absolutely could not disappoint the Immortal Master's expectations!

Moreover, they could not slack off in the Martial Dao the Immortal Master had left behind.

Not only did they need to practice it diligently, they also needed to help the Immortal Master spread it throughout the Human Race.

So that more members of the Human Race would gain the ability to protect themselves.

Though it could not grant longevity like the Golden Core Great Dao, everyone could cultivate it.

At the least, it strengthened the body and improved health. At the greatest, it enhanced one's combat power and destroyed enemies.

Above the vast East Sea, an auspicious cloud streaked rapidly through the sky.

Powerful auras occasionally spread from it.

The Demon Beasts in the sea that had harbored malicious intentions were immediately frightened into retreating, not daring to act rashly.

"So, Hongxuan, do you still think the East Sea is beautiful and magnificent?" Bixiao asked Hongxuan with a sweet smile.

"The East Sea looks calm on the surface, but beneath it lurks danger upon danger. One moment of carelessness, and you could die with your Dao extinguished!"

At first, he had been rather excited when he saw the magnificent, surging sea of the Primordial Wilderness.

But after traveling for decades, Hongxuan found it increasingly dull.

Coupled with the dangers that appeared from time to time, he had to remain tense at all times.

From his birth until becoming immortal, he had only lived for eighteen years.

But now?

Simply traveling above the East Sea had taken a full fifty years.

It had nearly left him unable to adjust.

Only then did he remember that this was the Primordial Wilderness.

When cultivators entered seclusion, they did not count in years, but in thousands or tens of thousands of years.

For someone like Hongxuan, a complete newcomer, journeys that took merely dozens or hundreds of years were another kind of indescribable torment.

"Hongxuan, if you find it boring, then keep cultivating! How long until you can advance to the True Immortal Realm?" Yunxiao asked curiously.

Hongxuan had become a Celestial Immortal in only eighteen years. Given his talent, after fifty years, he should not be far from becoming a True Immortal.

"I can break through at any time, but I want to stabilize my foundation a while longer."

You sensed the vast majesty of the sea and observed the surging waves. Your heaven-defying comprehension was triggered, and you independently created a divine ability: *Surging Wave Palm*!

The power in each palm strike surpassed the last.
