249: Chapter 244 Peak of the Forbidden Realm!

At the same time.

In an unknown place so distant that it could not be measured by distance.

Linghao Continent, East Prefecture.

Deep within a deserted Taboo Mountain Range, inside a secret Immortal Cave chamber shrouded by heavy Restrictions.

Daoist Xuanji, who was sitting cross-legged, suddenly trembled violently!

The color instantly drained from his already paper-pale face!

"Pfft—"

A mouthful of counter-blood containing the breath of his Origin sprayed uncontrollably from his mouth, corroding a deep pit into the ground before him.

His Aura weakened and withered at a rate visible to the naked eye.

His already heavy injuries were compounded at this moment!

"No!!!"

Daoist Xuanji snapped his eyes open, his turbid pupils filled with endless shock, anger, and disbelief!

He could clearly feel that the wisp of Divine Soul connection between himself and that "Huangzhou World," which had lasted for tens of thousands of years, had been completely severed by an irresistible force just a moment ago!

That world had changed masters!

"Chen! Zhi! Wen!"

He squeezed the name out from between his teeth, one word at a time, letting out an unwilling roar like a wounded beast!

Despite all his calculations, he never expected that the "Herb Garden" he had painstakingly cultivated for tens of thousands of years would ultimately be uprooted and claimed by an ant who appeared out of nowhere!

What a humiliating disgrace!

This was a humiliation he had never experienced in his thousands of years of cultivation!

After his anger passed, Daoist Xuanji forcibly suppressed his churning blood and calmed the emotions that had almost led him to Qi Deviation.

He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, a flash of ruthlessness and determination crossing his eyes.

Things had come to this; further anger was useless.

The urgent priority was to recover from his injuries as quickly as possible!

He turned his gaze toward the four other light orbs of different colors floating before him, which also radiated the Aura of worlds.

"Once this old man's injuries are healed, I will certainly make you... wish you were dead!"

Daoist Xuanji closed his eyes, no longer thinking about the matters of Huangzhou, and began to accelerate the refinement of these other four worlds within him...

Deep within Qinghua Mountain, in that independent Void Realm.

The instant Chen Zhiwen's Divine Sense completely fused with the Heavenly Dao Origin, an indescribable transformation erupted within his body.

His cultivation barriers were instantly shattered like paper!

The "Taboo" Realm, whose threshold he had already touched, no longer held any obstacles at this moment.

His Divine Soul, magic power, and Physical Body all began a frantic leap forward under the blessing of this great power from the entire world's Origin!

Early Stage Forbidden Realm...

Middle Stage Forbidden Realm...

Late Stage Forbidden Realm...

Finally, his Aura stabilized at the Peak of the Forbidden Realm, only one step away from that legendary higher Realm.

This was a qualitative leap.

It was a complete sublimation of his life level.

Chen Zhiwen slowly raised his hand, feeling the terrifying power within his body that seemed capable of easily crushing stars, yet his heart was perfectly clear.

He took a step forward.

There was not a single ripple in the surrounding space, yet his figure had already disappeared from this Void Realm that had imprisoned the Heavenly Dao Origin for endless ages.

In the next instant, he appeared high in the sky, ten thousand miles above Qinghua Mountain.

Beneath his feet was a rolling sea of clouds.

Above his head was the azure canopy of the sky, within arm's reach.

Chen Zhiwen closed his eyes, quietly sensing everything around him.

He didn't need to release any Divine Sense.

The entire Huangzhou World was like a part of his body, presenting its most subtle pulsations to him.

He could "see" a giant whale frolicking deep in the North Sea, kicking up waves ten thousand feet high.

He could "hear" an ancient tree in the dense forests of the Southern Border, striving to absorb sunlight and rain, growing silently.

He could "perceive" a sleeping scorpion king beneath the yellow sands of the Western Desert, having a sweet dream.

He could even "touch" the joys and sorrows in the hearts of every Mortal on the Eastern Desolate Plains.

From this day forward, he was the sole master of this Huangzhou.

He was God.

He was Heaven.

At the same time, Chen Zhiwen also felt an invisible "barrier."

It was the boundary membrane wrapping the entire Huangzhou World, the cage set up by Daoist Xuanji.

But after he became the Heavenly Dao of this world, this barrier was no longer a constraint for him.

Instead, it was like a door... that could be pushed open at any time.

The other side of the door connected to a higher-dimensional, incredibly vast world.

He knew that as long as he wished, he could immediately leave Huangzhou and go to the Linghao Continent where Daoist Xuanji was located.

When Chen Zhiwen opened his eyes again, his calm gaze turned downward.

At some point, dozens of figures with powerful Auras had gathered around Qinghua Mountain.

Leading them were Wang Ming, Zheng Ming, and the other Human Race Great Grandmasters.

Beside them, several Demon Sages of the North Sea Demon Clan were also present.

Turtle Sage, Kun Sage... all the top experts of Huangzhou had arrived.

They had felt the changes in the world and sensed that the doomsday clouds pressing down on all living beings had completely dissipated, so they rushed here immediately.

When they saw Chen Zhiwen floating in the sky, everyone's figures jerked to a halt.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Streaks of light soared into the sky, stopping in front of Chen Zhiwen.

Wang Ming, Turtle Sage, and the other experts looked at the young man with the still-familiar face, and they couldn't help but let out a complex sigh.

It was still the same person.

Yet, he was no longer the same person.

The Chen Zhiwen before them just stood there quietly, without any earth-shattering Aura on his body.

He was like the world itself, natural and unremarkable.

However, every Great Grandmaster present, whether Human Race or Yao Race, could clearly feel an insurmountable chasm originating from the level of life itself lying between them and Chen Zhiwen.

They had an incredibly clear intuition.

If they were to attack Chen Zhiwen at this moment...

No, they wouldn't even need to attack; if even a shred of hostility arose in their hearts.

The opponent wouldn't even need to move a finger.

With just a single thought.

The Heavenly Dao Laws of this world would transform into the most terrifying blades, completely erasing them from Divine Soul to Physical Body in an instant, leaving no trace behind!

Within this world, he was the absolute Dominator.

"We pay our respects to Heavenly Venerable Chen!"

Someone spoke first, taking the lead to bow deeply to Chen Zhiwen.

Following that, all the Great Grandmasters present, including Wang Ming and Turtle Sage, performed a grand salute to Chen Zhiwen with utmost solemnity.

This bow was one of gratitude.

Grateful to him for saving the entire world and billions of living beings.

This bow was also one of awe.

Awe for the supreme Realm he had now reached, a height they could only look up to.

"Seniors, there is no need for such formality."

Chen Zhiwen's figure quietly landed in front of everyone, as a gentle force lifted them up.

His voice remained calm, without a hint of arrogance from his sudden surge in power.
