758: Chapter 759 Dao Seed Eruption

Wang Zhan's voice still carried a lingering hoarseness as his gaze slowly swept over Xiao Ruobai and the other five.

The daze on his face gradually faded, replaced by unbelievable astonishment.

He subconsciously clenched his palm, feeling a slight sting from his fingertips; traces of the great dao origin crystal embedded in his flesh still remained there.

Between the lines of his palm, a faint purple light still flickered intermittently, a sign that the lingering charm of the crystal core had not yet fully dissipated.

"It really is you guys..."

He clearly remembered venturing into the Thunder Marsh alone with his spear, fighting until exhaustion and fainting amidst the endless God-Slaying Thunder of Oblivion.

But opening his eyes now, what greeted him were several familiar yet unfamiliar figures.

Xiao Ruobai's War God Blood-Qi was restrained like a mountain, Fang Hanyu's surrounding Chaos Sword Qi was as deep as an abyss, and Ling Xi, Mo Yu, and Wang Xiaopang stood on either side; their auras were no longer at the levels he remembered.

"It's us." Xiao Ruobai nodded, putting away the solemn expression he had while healing and revealing a faint smile.

"We noticed you when we first entered the Heavenly Stele Secret Realm, but I didn't expect you to be even more ruthless than us, charging directly into this forbidden land."

Wang Zhan looked down at his brand-new body, feeling the surging power within. A flash of awe and gratitude crossed his eyes as he smiled bitterly.

"I was originally searching for enemies to temper myself within the Secret Realm. I accidentally sensed that extreme destruction and vitality coexisted here and felt it was an excellent place for Body Tempering, so I rushed in recklessly.

"From the same world?"

Dong Li, hiding behind Wang Xiaopang, was curiously sizing up Wang Zhan. Upon hearing those words, he froze; they were like a pebble suddenly stirring up layers of ripples in his heart.

Having traveled with Xiao Ruobai, Fang Hanyu, and the others, Dong Li had long witnessed their prowess; they were extraordinarily talented, with resilient Heart-Natures and strengths that were among the best of their generation, each capable of standing on their own.

As for the Wang Zhan before him, although he had just crawled back from the gates of hell, the sharpness in his eyes and the bravery in his bones had not diminished in the slightest; he was clearly also a peerless Prodigy.

They actually came from the same world?

The Immortal Realm is vast and boundless, with Lower Realms as numerous as the sands of the Ganges. Conflicts are constant, and Prodigies are hard to find.

What kind of world could simultaneously nurture so many individuals with such different styles, yet each so exceptionally brilliant?

Dong Li's heart was full of doubt, and his gaze toward Xiao Ruobai's group and Wang Zhan became even more inquisitive.

Xiao Ruobai looked at Wang Zhan, who had been reborn through fire and whose aura was gradually stabilizing. He nodded slightly, his gaze falling on the man's new body, and spoke calmly:

"Being able to survive is thanks to your own breath of Qi not dissipating. It seems you've obtained something extraordinary in the Thunder Marsh."

Hearing this, Wang Zhan subconsciously clenched his fist. A faint purple light flashed in his palm, and the rich Dao Rhyme emitted by the great dao origin crystal within his body was clearly perceptible.

He slowly relaxed his hand. When he looked up, the last bit of daze on his face had completely vanished, and his eyes surged with an irrepressible sharpness. He said in a deep voice, "It's more than just extraordinary..."

As he finished speaking, his voice remained hoarse but carried more confidence. He casually raised his hand and gave it a light squeeze, causing the space around him to ripple with visible waves.

That was the power erupting from his Physical Body, which had been completely reshaped by the Great Dao Origin, and the great dao origin crystal was still nourishing this new body every moment.

"Hehe, Brother Wang, you've really turned a misfortune into a blessing now!" Seeing this, Wang Xiaopang immediately leaned in, winking and gesturing.

"Peak Immortal Lord, just one step away from Immortal King. This physical strength... even I'm intimidated just looking at it..."

Before Wang Xiaopang could finish, Fang Hanyu, who had been silently standing at the edge protecting the surroundings with his Sword Intent, suddenly had a drastic change in expression!

The Chaos Sword Qi around him instantly surged, and his tone carried unprecedented gravity and urgency:

"Not good, there's going to be a riot here. Let's go, quickly!"

"Buzz—!"

Just as Fang Hanyu finished speaking, a deafening hum exploded from deep within the Thunder Eye, and the entire Thunder Eye began to tremble violently.

The Oblivion Thunder Force in the air became incredibly violent, rushing toward the Thunder Eye like a wild horse off its leash.

Wang Zhan's face darkened as he reacted instantly.

"I took away the great dao origin crystal earlier, which was the Foundation of the Thunder Eye's core. The lightning rules here have completely lost balance, triggering a lightning riot!"

Before he could finish, around the great dao source trace above, countless streaks of pitch-black lightning suddenly turned violent. The originally docile Oblivion Thunder Force went completely out of control. Violent lightning snakes covered the sky and earth, and the ground of the Thunder Eye cracked inch by inch!

"Retreat, quickly!"

Xiao Ruobai no longer hesitated. With a flash of his figure, he grabbed Wang Zhan, whose Realm had not yet fully stabilized, and his War God Blood-Qi transformed into a solid protective shield.

"Hanyu, lead the way; Ling Xi, guard the rear; Mo Yu, protect Little Fatty and Dong Li. Follow me!"

"Yes!" everyone responded in unison, immediately taking their positions without the slightest delay.

Fang Hanyu, holding his longsword, stepped forward. His Chaos Sword Qi surged ten thousand feet, transforming into a gray longsword that slashed fiercely at the Oblivion lightning snakes rushing at the front.

Wherever the Sword Qi passed, the lightning snakes were instantly annihilated, forcibly carving a path through the violent thunder force.

Not daring to hesitate, the group followed closely. Mo Yu protected Wang Xiaopang and Dong Li by his side as they broke through the crumbling rocks and thunder currents. Ling Xi stayed at the back, her Devouring Power circulating as she silently guarded the rear.

The group coordinated perfectly, charging through the chaotic lightning storm. In a short while, they burst out of the Thunder Eye's entrance and retreated to the safe zone on the outskirts of the Thunder Marsh.

Looking back, the entire Thunder Eye had been completely swallowed by violent thunder force, turning into an endless, raging lightning storm wasteland.

At the same time, within the Secret Realm, auras of Breakthroughs began to erupt one after another!

In a valley surrounded by blazing flames, a pillar of light interwoven with Devilish Qi and Golden Crow True Fire soared into the sky. From within, Mo Cha's wild and joyful laughter rang out:

"Hahaha! Golden Crow Burns the Heavens, Devilish Flames Surge! This Saint's Dao is complete!"

His aura skyrocketed, instantly breaking through the barrier of the Late Stage Immortal King and boldly stepping into the Peak Immortal King Realm. The devilish flames around him were eerie yet carried a heat that could incinerate all things.

Atop the Heaven-Slaying Sword Mountain, ten thousand swords hummed. A solitary and sharp silver-white Sword Intent, seemingly capable of severing all shackles and ending all Karma, pierced the sky and lingered for a long time!

Ling Guzhou's figure slowly appeared at the center of the Sword Intent. Clad in snow-white robes and untainted by dust—Peak Immortal King!

Not only that, his entire aura seemed to merge with the sword in his hand and the sword mountain; the man was the sword, and the sword was the Dao.

That solitary true intent added a few more bits of decisive sharpness that could destroy all laws and hold the sword as supreme.

Inside the Profound Ice Palace, moonlight surged out like a tide, its cold radiance illuminating half the sky. Ji Qingyi's figure slowly rose within the moonlight, her aura ethereal and misty, yet carrying a chill that could freeze time and space. Late Stage Immortal King!

The fusion of Taiyin Divine Power and the Profound Ice Legacy allowed her control over the Lunar Laws to reach a whole new height; with every movement, it seemed as if lunar wheels were rising and falling.

Green Lotus Sword Pond, Mountain-Shaking Manor, Breeze Cave... powerful Breakthrough auras emerged from all over.

Li Xuanfeng, Shen Jinghong, Shi Jingxian, Mu Chenyu, and other outstanding members of the Azure Profound Sect also broke through their Bottlenecks one after another, entering the Middle or Late Stage of the Immortal King Realm, their strength soaring.

It wasn't just the people from the Azure Profound Sect; those Prodigies who already stood at the pinnacle of the Immortal Realm's younger generation began an even more astonishing transformation after obtaining top-tier legacies.

Deep within the Ancient God Mountain Range, a low roar like that of an ancient beast Awakening echoed. On Gu Shitian's bare upper body, dense ancient divine markings appeared. His Blood-Qi, like a dragon, soared into the sky, stirring the clouds and winds.

He slowly walked out of his secluded Immortal Cave, each step making the earth tremble. His cultivation had actually reached the Early Stage Immortal Sovereign!

In the True Dragon Pool, a high-pitched dragon roar echoed through the Nine Heavens. A golden dragon shadow burst from the water, transforming into Ao Zhan's figure. The dragon horns on his forehead became even more prominent, and his dragon might was vast—also at the Early Stage Immortal Sovereign!

Under the stimulation of the Legacy, his True Dragon Bloodline awakened further; his Physical Body, mana, and Dragon Clan Divine Abilities all entered a brand-new level.

At the Immortal Volcano, Huang Jiutian was bathed in the Divine Fire of Nirvana. A phantom of a nine-colored Phoenix faintly appeared behind her, each feather flowing with Great Dao runes.

She opened her Phoenix eyes, flames dancing within them as if they could incinerate all delusions in the world—Peak Immortal King!

A Phoenix's Nirvana, reborn through fire; her aura was more noble and unfathomable than before, carrying an eternal and indestructible Dao Rhyme.

The waves wash away the sand, revealing the true gold. The truly strong began to use the favorable wind of their legacies to rise with the wind, soaring high and leaving their peers far behind.

The Spiritual Qi of the entire Dao Source Secret Realm seemed to have produced violent tidal fluctuations because of this wave of dense Breakthroughs.

"Buzz!"

"Whoosh—!"

Almost as the aftershocks of these top Prodigies' Breakthroughs had yet to dissipate, sudden changes occurred everywhere in the Secret Realm!

Those dao seeds, originally hidden in various dangerous places and ruins or sealed by powerful Restrictions, seemed to be drawn by some invisible aura.

Or perhaps sensing that masters qualified enough to hold them had appeared, they began to burst with light one after another, breaking their Seals and emerging on their own!

For a time, the sky above the Secret Realm was filled with brilliant colors. Various dao seeds, like a flock of startled birds, trailed long tails of light as they flew in all directions under the firmament, painting the Secret Realm like a dream.
