160: Chapter 160 Nirvana Successful, Advancing to the Twelfth Realm

"Nirvana Heart Flame…" Xie Wushang's gaze narrowed.

"That is the heart flame left behind when a Great Emperor underwent Nirvana… If we refine it, Revered Master can recover the Emperor Realm," Huang Qianye said.

As she spoke, her body transformed into a streak of fire, flying out from the disaster prison bead.

"Let the two of us each refine a cluster!" Huang Qianye spoke, her body transforming into a Phoenix as she flew toward the Nirvana Pool ahead.

Xie Wushang also took a large stride forward, as if entering an uninhabited realm, easily entering the first zone.

Afterwards, his body moved like a Phoenix spreading its wings, flying into one of the Nirvana Pools in the middle.

Stepping into the Nirvana Pool, a dense wave of Nirvana flames immediately surged up, enveloping Xie Wushang.

These flames could burn even quasi-emperor weapons into nothingness; ordinary Cultivators simply could not endure them.

Even with Xie Wushang's golden body having reached Major Achievement, he could still feel the terrifying nature of this Nirvana flame.

His Physical Body felt as though it was about to be smelted and transformed into golden liquid.

"As expected of the Nirvana Heart Flame that has reached the emperor grade…" Xie Wushang's gaze narrowed.

He used the disaster prison bead to collect some Nirvana Heart Flame, storing it in the Disaster Prison Space to provide for Great Emperor Liuyang to heal his injuries.

"I can just happen to Cultivate the Undying Nirvana Scripture here…" Afterward, Xie Wushang's mind stirred as he looked toward the Nirvana Pool.

In an instant, the Undying Nirvana Scripture surfaced in his mind.

Burn away the true self… Remold the true self…

All Dao are illusions… Only I am eternal, undying and indestructible!

The Undying Nirvana Scripture texts surfaced in Xie Wushang's mind.

He had already comprehended this scripture countless times.

Every single time brought new insights.

Now, situated within the Nirvana Heart Flame, the flames burned him as if he were turning into golden liquid, coinciding with the surfacing of the scripture.

For a moment, new insights surged into Xie Wushang's heart.

"Burn away the true self… Remold the true self… All Dao are illusions… Only I am eternal…"

"Burn away the true self… It is not truly burning one's own body… Destruction followed by establishment… is also like this…"

"Just like me… when my Dantian shattered and re-gathered, that was remolding the true self…"

"Just like Nirvana as well…" Xie Wushang whispered.

He allowed the flames to burn over him.

At the same time, a vortex evolved at his Dantian, beginning to refine those Nirvana Heart Flames and integrate them into his body.

Integrating them into the nether domain opened up by his golden body.

The nether domain was vast; when this Nirvana Heart Flame integrated into it, it lit up the dim space, resembling a sun that illuminated the nether sea.

Xie Wushang only felt his power beginning to grow stronger.

"All Dao are illusions… Only I am eternal…"

Xie Wushang's Natal Divine Soul was also whispering as he guided the Nirvana Heart Flame into the disaster prison bead, using his Primordial Spirit to smelt this fire.

The Primordial Spirit was a person's weakest point.

Fire and lightning were both its bane.

At this moment, for Xie Wushang to refine the Nirvana Heart Flame with his Primordial Spirit was undoubtedly playing with fire and courting self-destruction.

The moment his Primordial Spirit contacted the Nirvana Heart Flame, it began to incinerate bit by bit.

Yet Xie Wushang did not shrink back.

His Primordial Spirit allowed the Nirvana fire to burn it away bit by bit.

Only a wisp of consciousness stood firm.

In the end, only the smelted marks of the Dao Laws remained of his Primordial Spirit.

The body of his Primordial Spirit seemed to completely dissolve.

"This little fellow… is simply too daring!" Seeing this, Ji Qianyue's face was filled with worry.

"His Primordial Spirit has not completely vanished…" Zhuge Yu looked toward Xie Wushang's Natal Divine Soul, his face also filled with tension.

In the end, Xie Wushang's Natal Divine Soul completely disappeared.

Even those Dao Laws seemed to have turned into nothingness.

"Gone?" Ji Qianyue felt a chill in her heart.

"Could this little fellow's Natal Divine Soul really be destroyed?"

"This is one of his greatest trump cards!" Below, coffin after coffin surfaced.

Over a dozen ancient emperors manifested together, all with worried expressions as they looked toward the Void Realm.

Right at this moment, ripples spread across the Void Realm.

A lingering voice rang out.

"At the beginning of Chaos, there was originally nothing; all came from the void… Although my body is destroyed, a single thought remains in the void, and the Dao Law naturally exists."

"Nirvana… is merely discarding the fleshly shell and preserving the true self!"

Xie Wushang's voice rang out. In the Void Realm, firelight bloomed, and the pattern runes of the Dao Laws began to gather and re-condense.

His Primordial Spirit manifested bit by bit.

However, his aura had become even more transcendent.

A Dao charm that transcended the outside world surged into his heart.

"You… have succeeded in Nirvana!" Seeing this, Ji Qianyue's gaze narrowed; she could clearly sense her disciple's changes.

His Natal Divine Soul was even stronger.

"As long as the true self is present, that is Nirvana, just like you, Revered Master…" Xie Wushang's Natal Divine Soul nodded slightly and said.

Ji Qianyue nodded slightly, "Our physical bodies were destroyed… leaving only a wisp of remnant thought to re-gather our true bodies… that can indeed be considered Nirvana."

"Nirvana… is indeed like this!" Zhuge Yu had an epiphany in his heart.

"The Dao is also like this!" Xie Wushang whispered. His true Primordial Spirit also began to guide the Nirvana Heart Flame, preparing to smelt his own body.

Even his golden body did not put up any defense.

He allowed the Nirvana Heart Flame to burn him.

...

A short while later, Xie Wushang in the Nirvana Sea had disappeared.

Only a nether-golden liquid remained.

But shortly after, ripples spread across the nether-golden liquid, and Xie Wushang's body re-gathered once more.

When his body re-gathered, his Dao Laws also condensed once more.

However…

At this moment, his Dao Laws seemed to be thoroughly connected with his Primordial Spirit and Physical Body, transforming into a single, naturally seamless entity.

His aura grew stronger accordingly, and the Bottleneck of the eleventh realm was seemingly shattered the moment his true body re-gathered…

He…

officially stepped into the twelfth realm.

He was now a quasi-emperor!

...

Rumble!

Immediately, tribulation clouds gathered above the Nirvana Pool.

"Is this the Heavenly Tribulation of the twelfth realm?!" Xie Wushang looked up.

Afterward, his body soared straight up, stepping into the high altitude to bathe in the Heavenly Tribulation.

...

Outside.

In Phoenix Valley.

In the high altitude, tribulation clouds suddenly gathered, and vast heavenly might locked onto the sea of fire below.

A spacetime passage manifested.

Lightning flashed, striking downward.

Vaguely, one could see Xie Wushang standing in mid-air within the Small World below.

"It's the Divine Son of Jiang… He is Undergoing Tribulation!"

"This guy actually broke through inside!" Seeing this, the Cultivators of various clans wore looks of astonishment.

"Abominable… To step into the twelfth realm at such a young age—even Jiang Tianxing back then wasn't such a Prodigy!"

The people of the Tuoba Clan and the Golden-Winged Roc Clan all had gloomy expressions.

"The twelfth realm…" Both Li Shuangyan and Tushan Dieyi narrowed their eyes, revealing solemn expressions.

In the future on the Emperor Road, this man would definitely be the bane of all clans and an invincible, towering peak.

Afterwards, their gazes softened, and slight smiles unconsciously appeared at the corners of their mouths.

"As expected of the man who revived the heavenly emperor weapon!" Tushan Dieyi's lips curved into a smile, her whisper revealing growing satisfaction toward that junior.

In the high altitude, lightning flashed.

The heavenly might emitted from it made the Cultivators of various clans dread.

Many quasi-emperors, afraid of being affected, hurriedly retreated a hundred miles.

Rumble!

Countless bolts of lightning, resembling a torrential downpour, hacked down from the firmament, wanting to annihilate the man bathing in the thunder.

Every single bolt of lightning was like a domain of Dao.

This caused Quasi-Emperor Jiang Lei and the other Jiang Clan quasi-emperors to feel a chill in their hearts.

"What kind of Dao is the Divine Son cultivating? Why would it draw such a terrifying Lightning Tribulation?"
