530: Immortal Tomb Dao Artifact

Essence!

Qi!

Spirit!

The three were perfectly integrated! He had completely stabilized at the Late Stage Soul Transformation realm!

The Great Sun Sacred Body restrained its divine radiance, with only golden meridians faintly visible beneath his skin.

He clenched his fist slightly, feeling a terrifying power lurking within his flesh that could easily crush space itself.

Battle Intent surged in his heart—The Immortal Mausoleum Dao Artifact? I, Yao Delong... am coming!

At the Peak of Luoxia Peak, the wind ceased and the clouds gathered.

Yao Delong stepped into the air, his figure transforming into a golden rainbow that tore through the twilight.

In an instant, he pierced through the Void Realm, shooting toward the Forbidden Ground covered by a grand array deep in the Sect's back mountains!

In front of the desolate and ancient "Forbidden Ground" stone tablet, the thin old man still sat cross-legged like a withered stone.

But now, in Yao Delong's eyes which contained Divine Fire Golden Pupils, within the old man's seemingly withered body,

a dormant aura was like a bottomless cold pool, profound and unfathomable!

Peak Perfected Spirit Transformation Stage! Only one step away from attaining the profound and entering the Void Refining stage!

"Senior." Yao Delong landed, his aura as heavy as a mountain embracing a deep sea abyss, and bowed with cupped hands.

The old man's cloudy eyes lifted, instantly bursting with a penetrating sharp light!

He scrutinized Yao Delong, especially that Physical Body with golden meridians visible under the skin and an aura capable of smelting all things swirling around it.

For the first time, a hint of irrepressible surprise curved at the corner of his mouth:

"Good lad... back during your Foundation Establishment, I saw you were good material, but I didn't expect... how long has it been?

To think you've already reached this step! The younger generation is to be feared, truly to be feared!"

His eyes held pure admiration, no longer the casual scrutiny of a junior from years ago. "Go!"

His withered palm opened, and an ancient jade disc carved with star patterns appeared.

"Boom—!"

Vast and pure Origin Power was injected, and the jade disc suddenly erupted with blinding light!

A Chaos teleportation gate that distorted space opened, emitting Spiritual Qi more vast and

pure than that of the First Level of the Immortal Mausoleum, yet also tinged with a hint of killing intent, as it boomed open before the stone tablet!

"Dao Artifacts have spirits and are harsh in choosing masters; the difficulty is far beyond that of the first level."

The old man spoke earnestly, tossing another smaller jade talisman to Yao Delong. "Hold this 'Jade of Return'.

When your strength is insufficient, you can exit by activating it with Origin Power.

The Second Layer of the Immortal Mausoleum has independent rules and cannot be entered without the Sect Head's token! Kid... I hope you return successfully!"

Before his voice faded, the old man's figure had already vanished like water ripples in the Void Realm, leaving only that Chaos light gate leading to the unknown.

"I will!"

Yao Delong's gaze was firm. He took a deep breath of the ancient Spiritual Qi, thick as a substance, and without further hesitation, stepped into the light gate!

The sensation of the world spinning disappeared.

His vision suddenly opened up!

It was no longer the decay, darkness, and bone-chilling cold of the First Level of the Immortal Mausoleum. This was actually a vast, boundless plain!

The dome of the sky was clear and misty, with faint light flowing like stardust over the vast land.

The spiritual aura was vast and majestic; even a single breath made one feel their cultivation base stirring!

But what drew the most attention was not the Spiritual Qi, but the dozens of... Law Hills rising from this plain!

Each small hill was not high and simple in shape, yet they emitted distinct and

terrifying Law pressures sufficient to make a Spirit Transformation Cultivator's mind collapse:

There was the absolute slaughter of ten thousand swords slaying the heavens, the eternal extreme cold freezing the universe, the destructive flames burning mountains and boiling seas,

and the strange Reincarnation of birth and death... They were like countless silent giant beasts, guarding the center of this world!

This was the resting place of the Dao Artifacts accumulated over tens of thousands of years by the Yin Yang Sect!

Beneath every small hill slept a Dao Artifact that had once stirred up storms of blood on the continent!

At this moment, the jade talisman in his hand buzzed and vibrated, shooting out a soft yet extremely resilient golden light

that ignored the numerous terrifying Law pressures and pointed precisely at an unremarkable small hill in the distance.

Yao Delong moved like a golden flash and arrived in an instant.

He landed about ten feet in front of the small hill.

A supreme Law fluctuation that was gentle yet incomparably domineering, standing as an equal and even faintly attracting him, rushed toward him!

"What pure Yin and Yang Qi!"

Yao Delong's eyes burst with brilliance. It shared the same source as the core aura of the Sunset Glow Illuminating Yin-Yang Art he painstakingly cultivated,

yet it was even more vast and primordial! The Sect had indeed thought of everything!

The dormant Sunset Glow Illuminating Yin-Yang Art inside him began to circulate spontaneously without being urged,

and a faint, intertwined black and white divine glow appeared around him. At the same time, he gave a low shout:

"Open!"

Buzz—!

Great Sun Sacred Body! Full activation!

In an instant, the golden meridians under his skin seemed to come alive!

A visible miniature "Divine Sun" condensed and manifested behind him!

His blood and Qi, rolling like a magma furnace, erupted violently, causing the Spiritual Qi in the surrounding space to let out an overwhelmed wail!

The pure to the extreme ultimate Yang and unyielding Qi, combined with the flexible Yin essence drawn by the Sunset Glow Illuminating Yin-Yang Art in his body,

formed a powerful and strange fluctuation that actively met the pure Yin and Yang Qi surging from the small hill!

Just as these two distinct yet same-sourced auras were about to collide and merge—

"Huff... Huff..."

A muffled yawn, sounding as if it had been held in for a long time,

rang out lazily in the deepest part of his Sea of Consciousness, as if crossing through eternal time and space!

In the next second, a temperamental, youthful roar filled with intense morning grumpiness exploded like a thunderclap:

"Damn it! Which bastard dares to disturb This old lady's grand dreams?! Do you have a death wish!?"

Light flashed intensely at the top of the small hill!

A hazy immortal shadow, somewhere between illusion and reality, suddenly appeared!

It was a young girl wearing a Flowing Immortal Skirt woven from a dark black base and bright moon-white silk.

With jade bones and icy skin, her immortal appearance was extraordinary; she looked no more than sixteen years old,

with a Luan Bird Hairpin made of pure Sword Qi and shimmering with light tucked into her hair.

However, in those autumn-water-like eyes that should have been bright and expressive, there was a settled vicissitude and indifference that pierced through eternity!

Like a deity high above the clouds looking down on the ants of the mortal world!

She wrinkled her nose and rubbed her sleepy eyes with her small hands before finally seeing Yao Delong standing in front of the hill.

That stunningly beautiful little face instantly collapsed, filled with impatience:

"Tsk! Late Stage Soul Transformation? Are you still dreaming, kid?"

Her phantom self stood with hands on hips, lacking any divine image and looking more like a little witch from next door who had been woken up.

"Do you know where this is? Do you know what's buried in this mound in front of you?

That's a Dao Artifact! Understand? A Dao Artifact!

That's something only a Late Void Refining Stage powerhouse would dare to touch, and only someone at the Body Integration Stage would barely be qualified to use as a hand warmer!

You, a little Soul Transformation brat, come here to apply? You've come to the wrong place! Hurry up and scram, This old lady wants to go back to sleep for her beauty rest!"

After saying that, she waved her snowy-white wrist extremely perfunctorily,

and her phantom began to fade, looking lazy as if she were about to fall apart.

Yao Delong didn't move an inch! His eyes were calm and waveless.

Instead of restraining himself, the power within his body rose steadily!

The "Divine Sun Phantom" condensed from his pure blood and Qi Sacred Body suddenly solidified! It radiated tens of thousands of beams of light!

Framing him like a golden god of war walking out of ancient times!

Boom—!

A Yang force ten times stronger than before, mixed with the clear dao rhyme glow of the Sunset Glow Illuminating Yin-Yang Art, forcibly locked onto the small hill!

The runes on the surface of the entire "Law Hill" suddenly lit up! The scorching temperature caused the surrounding space to distort and deform!

As if in the next moment, it would... burn mountains and crack stones!

"Hmm?!"

The young girl's phantom, which had already faded by half, suddenly froze! Like a cat whose tail had been stepped on!

It instantly solidified a bit from its illusory state!
