173: Chapter 172 Achieving Immortal Status and Breaking Out of the World of the Dead

The River of Time.

Martial Venerable watched the Main World, which had been vibrating incessantly.

He frowned slightly. "Human Emperor, it's been several decades. What is the situation with the Main World?"

The Human Emperor's expression flickered unnaturally for a moment.

He felt helpless; over these past decades, several groups of forces had already arrived.

If it weren't for the presence of Martial Venerable,

he alone might not have been able to hold the line.

After a light cough,

he finally spoke. "That dog Dong Huang is incredibly wretched, hiding inside the Blood Coffin. If Brother Wu is getting impatient, you can go and lend Zui a hand to give that dog Dong Huang a proper lesson."

"Forget it, I'll just keep blocking the entrance. Dong Huang cannot die yet. Tell them to keep the noise down. I've noticed that Old Ghost Longevity has been wandering around nearby; he's likely up to no good."

"Haha... No matter. As long as the two of us brothers are guarding here, even if the Immortal Venerables gather, what can they do?"

"Haha... Well said."

Martial Venerable clearly enjoyed the sentiment.

After all, being recognized by the Human Emperor was a very pleasant thing.

...

...

The Main World.

After decades of evolution,

the Dual Pupils in the sky had completely covered the entire Main World.

Accompanied by rumbling vibrations,

the left eye shone with brilliant light, transforming into the Heavenly Dao and driving the right eye to begin its Fusion with the Main World.

Crack...

The Void Realm shook.

Countless experts stared intently at the eye that was gradually merging with the world. They wanted to take action, but seeing Venerable Mu's cold gaze, none dared to be the first to step forward.

"Venerable Mu, have you really thought this through? If you don't act now, it might be too late."

In the Ghost Realm.

Dong Huang was getting anxious.

If someone else truly beat them to it and claimed the Main World,

it would be incredibly difficult to get it back.

"Dong Huang, just watch quietly. You still owe the Imperial Court a favor, so stop talking nonsense."

Xing Mu gave Dong Huang no Face at all. Watching the eye gradually merge with the world, her heart, which had been calm for countless years, also rippled slightly.

Sigh...

Amidst the sigh,

the world and the eye completely merged into one.

If one were in the Chaos World looking at the Main World,

they would see

that the area of the original Main World had been replaced by a pair of enormous eyes. It stood independent in the endless Chaos, like the eyes of an ancient god.

Inside the right eye was a vast and boundless world.

Inside the left eye was a hazy Heavenly Dao that was hard to see through.

"Only the final step remains."

In the King's Palace.

Ji Xingyue walked slowly, stepping directly into the sky.

With the complete Fusion of the Main World and the Dual Pupils, she could now fully control the power of the Main World.

Crack...

The Main World was vibrating.

The vast and boundless territory began to extend once again.

This was the Ninth Tidal Change.

It was forcibly triggered by Ji Xingyue using the power of the Main World.

The Dao was rumbling.

The terrifying power of the Main World, during this Ninth Tidal Change, began to grow at an uncontrollable and rapid speed.

At this moment,

Ji Xingyue's Face was pale.

She did her best to stabilize herself. Her Dual Pupils, having fused with too many Daos, were already bleeding tears.

Boom...

The world was still trembling.

Each Tidal Change was more violent than the last.

This artificially triggered Ninth Tidal Change was even more so, comparable to the end of the world.

Lightning flashed and thunder roared.

It was terrifyingly immense.

...

...

Guixu.

The World of the Dead.

After decades of Cultivation, the death energy was almost entirely consumed by Ye Xiu.

Under such terrifying energy,

the Heavenly Emperor Sutra achieved a Breakthrough.

The fifth level.

There were no earth-shattering changes.

His body simply exploded and reconstructed tens of millions of times.

The Immortal Body and immortal power completely merged during these millions of reconstructions, allowing Ye Xiu to achieve the Immortal Position and officially step into the Monarch Realm.

Crack...

The World of the Dead trembled slightly.

Ye Xiu took a step and arrived directly above the clouds.

Immortal power erupted along with the energy of the living.

After the sky full of thunder punishment, a radiant glow fell from the endless sky into the clouds.

This was Ascension after Undergoing Tribulation!

"Quite interesting."

Ye Xiu glanced at the radiant glow. Just as he was about to step into it, a withered hand grabbed his shoulder.

"Little friend, now is not the time to go out."

As the words fell,

the radiant glow vanished, and the path to the outside world gradually dissipated.

"Senior? What do you mean?"

Looking at the old man holding him, Ye Xiu frowned slightly, unsure of the old man's intentions.

"Guixu is in Chaos. Someone in the Main World is performing the final devouring. It is very dangerous."

"What? Impossible... In these decades, the Main World likely hasn't even welcomed the Ninth Tidal Change. How could it be merging with someone?"

"It has begun now."

The old man stared at the sky. His cloudy eyes seemed to be able to see through Guixu and look directly at the Main World.

Hearing this,

Ye Xiu was stunned for a moment.

His expression shifted, finally turning extremely solemn.

No matter what happened outside, devouring the Main World was something that went against all the experts of the Supreme Realm.

Was it Ji Xingyue who acted?

Why was she so impatient...

Without time to think too much, he apologized to the old man and then erupted his immortal power again, wanting to rush out of this world.

"Little friend, the Main World does not reject that woman, so there is no need to be so anxious."

"Senior, the danger does not come from the world; the human heart is what's most terrifying. So, please make way."

"It will be of no use even if you go. Little friend, the King Realm is not enough. There are no fewer than four people in the Venerable Realm there. Only by planning properly can you go far."

The old man still wanted to persuade him.

But Ye Xiu didn't care about any of that.

He didn't bother to guess the reason why Ji Xingyue was merging with the Main World so early.

After forcibly passing through the Lightning Tribulation,

he directly stepped onto the Ascension passage and rushed toward the outside of the world at top speed.

Watching the figure leave in a hurry,

the old man's expression changed.

Finally, he sighed, took a step, and directly caught up with Ye Xiu's departing pace.

"Senior... you..."

On the path of Ascension.

Ye Xiu looked at the old man who had caught up and frowned slightly.

He didn't know what this old man had up his sleeve.
