After Some Consolidation, the Breakthrough Begins!
Three days later.
Ugh--!
The long, desolate sound of the white bone horn resounded from the summit of Divine Firmament Peak, instantly piercing through countless thunderclouds and spreading throughout the 60 million li Divine Firmament Plain!
"The eldest son is in seclusion, attempting to reach the Spirit Transformation!"
"By order of the Second Young Master, Divine Firmament Plain shall be placed on full alert!"
"The twenty-four elite demon warriors have returned to their positions, sealing off all eight border passes of the plains! Anyone who dares to approach Divine Firmament Peak, within ten thousand miles, regardless of race or cultivation level, will be slaughtered without mercy!"
The decree jointly issued by Shi Pan and Shi Lei resounded like thunder in the consciousness of every living being in Divine Firmament Plain.
Rumble!
The plains trembled, Wind and Cloud changed color.
The leader of the [Azure Profound Tribe], Lei Ya, roared to the sky from the Frenzied Thunder Line in the southwestern part of the plain, in the Falling Lightning Grand Canyon.
Three thousand heavily armored Frenzied Thunder Bears shattered the mountains, forming Heavenly Sha that sealed off the western chasm.
Within the Black Water Death Swamp, Xuanlei Min led ten thousand Deathly Demons of the [Life-Extinguishing Tribe] out of the water, poisonous miasma and Nether Lightning blotting out the sky and locking down the southern void;
To the east, the two branches of Profound Lightning a powerful force) stirred up Lei Ming of ten thousand drums;
In the Northern Frontier, the Primal Lightning Line, all tribes of the Crimson Sky Rift!
Directly in front of Divine Firmament Lightning City, Shi Fangting personally led 30,000 elite Dao Spirit Bear Human, wielding heavy golden lightning-summoning halberds, standing solemnly outside the city gate.
This legion, constructed according to the laws of the Human Race, is like a peerless, deadly blade drawn from its sheath, guarding the foot of Divine Firmament Peak.
Across a vast plain spanning sixty million miles, nearly fifty Nascent Soul Bear Kings and millions of Dao of Lightning beings all ceased their activities at this moment.
They all turned around, facing the towering, unreachable Divine Firmament Ancestral Peak, knelt on one knee, and bowed their heads in worship to pay homage to the sacred mountain!
The vast and boundless aura of the Great Dao transformed into billowing, invisible purple-gold smoke, frantically converging from all directions, ultimately bestowing its full power upon the summit of Divine Firmament Peak.
On the summit platform, Shi Lei, dressed in a green robe fluttering in the wind, sat alone cross-legged at the cliff's narrow pass, his hand resting on the bone sword at his waist.
His expression was cold, his eyes tightly closed, like an unyielding stone statue, guarding the only passage for his elder brother behind him.
Time flies, and the days pass in the blink of an eye.
Cultivation knows no time, but the path to enlightenment takes years.
For ordinary beings, a decade or so is enough to change the course of a lifetime; but for top Nascent Soul Cultivator who knock on the gates of heaven and defy the secrets of heaven, it is nothing more than a few deductions in the depths of their sea of consciousness and a few tests and collisions between their soul and the Principle the Great Dao.
Spring passes and autumn comes, winter thunders and summer rains.
For fifteen long years, the Divine Firmament Peak remained deathly silent.
Only the thunderclouds covering the peak, initially mottled and variegated, transformed and refined day by day, eventually turning into a thick purple slurry covering tens of thousands of miles.
Until the late autumn of the fifteenth year.
Boom!
Without any warning, a deep, muffled roar, seemingly emanating from the depths of the Netherworld, suddenly exploded in the hearts of every Divine Firmament Plain.
Shi Lei, who was sitting cross-legged at the edge of the cliff, suddenly opened his eyes!
Looking up, one could see that the once gently flowing sea of purple lightning, stretching for thousands of miles, suddenly began to spin wildly, forming a terrifying, bottomless vortex of thunder that covered the heavens and the earth!
The Heavenly Dao manifests, the Principle descend!
At the deepest part of that vortex, it was no longer just Spiritual Qi and lightning, but a vast and mighty river of the Great Dao that stretched across the void and through the ages!
Dao of Lightning River!
Extremely strong, extremely masculine, extremely violent, extremely fierce!
The void of the entire Divine Firmament Plain froze completely at this moment, all living beings prostrated themselves on the ground, even their breath was taken away.
All cultivators above the Nascent Soul Realm looked up in astonishment, for they could clearly sense that within that magnificent and incomparably long river of the Great Dao.
The tributary belonging to [Divine Firmament] is unleashing a deafening roar!
The difficulty of Spirit Transformation lies in ascending to heaven.
Condensing the Immortal Foundation is not simply about absorbing Spiritual Qi; it requires extracting one's soul from the physical body and immersing it in the unfeeling and desireless river of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, allowing the Principle to refine it and carving out a unique mark in the Unseen Spaceless.
Throughout history, countless exceptionally talented Nascent Soul cultivators, with flawless physical bodies and perfected Cultivation Method, have lost their way in the vastness and immensity of the Great Dao the moment their souls come into contact with it.
Their souls are assimilated and eroded by the Principle of Heavenly Dao, becoming mindless slaves of the Dao, or their Dao Dissolution collapses on the spot, resulting in the destruction of both body and soul!
This is the Tribulation of Dao Dissolution!
"Brother..."
Shi Lei's ten fingers were slightly bent, showing great urgency; no one else could help him with this hurdle.
Even if the ancestor were to appear in person, even if the Dao Venerable were to descend to earth, he could not bear the assimilation and descent of the Principle of heaven and earth for him.
Everything depends on one's own heart!
Rumble!
The Great Dao River roared and surged, and a transparent, thousand-foot-tall illusory divine soul dharma form stepped out from the secluded cultivation chamber of Divine Firmament Peak, defying the heavens and crashing into the surging tributary of the Great Dao!
That was Shi Xiao's Primordial Spirit!
Buzz--!
The moment his Primordial Spirit disappeared into the long river, Shi Xiao's face suddenly contorted with extreme pain and pain.
The vast and boundless Principle of the Great Dao, like countless divine blades of the Heavenly Dao, relentlessly slashed and honed his divine soul imprint.
The vastness and grandeur of heaven and earth, along with the endless indifference and sense of emptiness, transformed into a towering fog, frantically washing over his memories and emotions.
"Who I am?"
The Great Dao is boundless; the physical body is but a stinking bag of skin, so why struggle?
Why not merge with heaven and earth, and share in eternity?
The vast and boundless Dao sound resounded in Shi Xiao's sea of consciousness. His divine soul and dharma form began to become transparent inch by inch, and the brilliance in his eyes gradually dimmed. His body began to assimilate and disintegrate into the pure Purple Firmament Lightning!
Dao Dissolution!
This prodigy's divine soul is being devoured by heaven and earth!
Beneath Divine Firmament Peak, countless Lightning Bear Demon King felt as if they had fallen into an ice cellar, their faces ashen white.
At the edge of the cliff, Shi Lei suddenly drew half a bone sword, his murderous Sha Qi almost uncontrollably soaring into the sky.
However, just as that divine soul was about to completely merge into the long river, at the critical moment!
"To merge with heaven and earth? To enjoy eternity?"
A wild, unrestrained roar, filled with mockery and ferocity, suddenly exploded from the core of the collapsing Dharma form!
"I am the young master of the Lightning Bear Line, destined to reach the pinnacle of the Dao of Lightning!"
How could I possibly desire even a moment of peace!
