427: Chapter 427 The echoes lingered, and the universe trembled!

Just as everyone's astonished gazes were locked tightly onto the Double-Pupil Chen Shenhuang, their minds completely captured by his brilliant, invincible posture, in that instant where it seemed even Heaven and Earth had to regard him as supreme—

"Clang——!!!" A sword chime, without any warning and with incomparable violence, tore through the silence of all things!

Its sound was neither metal nor jade, unlike any instrument in the mortal world, yet it contained the supreme sharpness to sever Karma and fate, to destroy the Reincarnation of Myriad Calamities!

It came from beyond the unknowable firmament, and it seemed to resound from the primordial void before the creation of the world. With an incomparably savage posture, it brazenly pierced through the vast River of Time, clearly and coldly branding itself into every inch of space and the deepest depths of every living being's Divine Soul!

Where the sword chime swept past, the terrifying pressure brought by those double pupils—which was enough to freeze space-time and cause all Laws to retreat—was like the finest silk meeting an unstoppable blade, silently sliced open, leaving a subtle yet real crack!

The echo lingers, the universe trembles!

Hum——!

The dim and oppressive firmament of the entire Primordial Secret Realm was, in a billionth of a second, completely washed and cleansed by the purest, most primordial Moonlight from above the Nine Heavens!

A layer of brilliant white, containing not a single trace of Impurities and unstained by even a speck of dust, used the lingering rhyme of the sword chime as a guide to boomingly permeate and cover every celestial domain within sight!

The white light was not scorching, but rather possessed an extreme coldness and boundless aloofness, carrying the extinguishing chill that had flowed eternally since the birth of the Lunar Star.

A huge, full, and brilliant phantom moon, radiating endless cold light, hung silently yet domineeringly in the center of the zenith, replacing the brilliant sun to become the only light source in Heaven and Earth at this moment!

The moonlight poured down like a heavenly river formed of frost, enveloping the four poles and the eight wildernesses.

Under this ubiquitous cold moonlight, everything instantly donned a layer of crystalline frost. Even the originally violently surging Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi and the interwoven, manifested Dao Laws became abnormally sluggish and stagnant, as if frozen and purified, returning to a heart-palpitating state of clarity and dead silence.

Almost at the same instant the phantom moon manifested, without the slightest discrepancy!

"Rumble——!" In another vast celestial domain not completely covered by the clear light of the moon, another anomaly arose!

Endless divine radiance and Chaos Mother Qi, as if hearing a supreme summons, crazily spewed, gathered, and swirled from the deepest depths of the Void Realm!

In the blink of an eye, they condensed into a massive shadow that stood between Heaven and Earth, seemingly capable of propping up the Chaos!

This figure was hazy within endless Chaos light, its face blurry. Only a primitive Divine Might, capable of creating the world and evolving the Primordial Chaos, swept through the universe like a tsunami!

Its posture was majestic; one hand lifted into the void, with a vast astrological phenomenon of suns, moons, and stars birthing, orbiting, and dying within its palm; the other hand pressed down, with Earth, Fire, Water, and Wind seemingly surging between its five fingers, and the sources of the Myriad Dao Laws held within its grasp!

Merely the "concept" of its existence radiating outward caused the Dao to spontaneously resonate. Golden lotus phantoms bloomed in the Void Realm, and illusions of spiritual springs gushed from the ground; endless anomalies surrounded it like subjects paying homage to a king!

And in the center of the open palm of this "Primordial Infinite Divine Being" phantom—a palm large enough to make even a True Immortal feel insignificant, and seemingly capable of carrying a complete Great World—

A young figure sat quietly cross-legged. He wore a Primordial Dao robe that was extremely archaic, with naturally forming Dao patterns. His aura was perfect and flawless, seemingly existent yet void, seemingly close at hand yet as if far away in the time before Chaos had opened. He had achieved an incomparably profound resonance with the vast, majestic Divine Being phantom beneath him, becoming one with it!

In the small space where he resided, time and space seemed to flow backward, returning to the primordial scene before Chaos was divided. The myriad Dao of Heaven and Earth, like docile subjects, floated and guarded around him!

However, this was not the end!

Just as the Chaos Divine Being phantom and that Lunar phantom—one of supreme Yang and Chaos, the other of supreme Yin and Purity—two supreme auras were about to form a subtle confrontation—

"Dong!" A dull Dao sound, like the heartbeat of Heaven and Earth, resonated from the unknown!

A third anomaly, carrying a brilliant Imperial Might that swept across the Myriad Heavens and suppressed the ages, forcefully intervened!

A phantom of a continuous Heavenly Palace, brilliant to the extreme, ancient to the point of eternity, and majestic enough to make gods bow their heads, projected from the other shore of the endless, distant time, rapidly becoming solid and clear from the blurry ripples!

One could see immortal palaces and treasure towers, arranged like scales on a fish, stretching for unknown tens of thousands of miles, all forged from Chaos Divine Jade and Great Dao Immortal Gold, blooming with eternal, undying Immortal Qi!

Immortal Qi condensed into Auspicious Beasts and auspicious clouds, with Dragons and Phoenixes singing in harmony; phantoms of Divine Generals clad in golden armor with eyes like lightning patrolled silently between the palace walls and the heavenly river; furthermore, endless Dao runes containing the ultimate principles of Heaven and Earth, like the stars of the universe, flowed and lived around the Heavenly Palace, as if this were the Law center of the Myriad Heavens and Worlds, the source and destination of all order!

Merely with the arrival of this phantom, a terrifying sense of oppression—that of being the sole sovereign above and below—descended with a boom. Countless Cultivators with weaker cultivation had their Divine Souls tremble, their legs went weak, and an urge to prostrate and worship surged from the depths of their life's Origin, almost impossible to restrain!

And in the center of the Heavenly Palace phantom, before the most magnificent and grand Lingxiao Treasure Hall, which seemed to govern the authority of the Myriad Heavens, space rippled elegantly like water. A figure stepped out slowly.

He wore a brilliant golden Dao robe embroidered with patterns of the sun, moon, and stars shining together, and all living beings paying homage. His face was perfect and flawless, his temperament transcendent and detached. Between his brows was an innate, absolute nobility that looked down upon the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, and an extreme indifference toward the rise and fall of all things.

It was as if he were not someone who had cultivated, but the supreme Dominator born to sit upon the highest throne of the Thirty-Three Heavens, wielding the power of life and death over the universe.

He simply stood there, and naturally became the absolute core of that vast Heavenly Palace projection, the sole focal point where the Myriad Dao converged and Luck gathered!

The sword chime pierces the past and present, the bright moon illuminates the Great Thousand Worlds, the Divine Being supports the Primordial Chaos, and the Heavenly Palace suppresses the Lingxiao!

Four great anomalies, four supreme methods representing the highest Dao paths of this world and suppressing an entire era, at this moment, in this place, manifested simultaneously in such an earth-shattering manner that crushed the cognition of all living beings, reflecting each other!

A brief, absolute silence, where it seemed even time, thought, and even the Divine Soul were completely frozen—

"Boom!!!!!!" The entire Secret Realm, along with every corner of the Myriad Heavens and Worlds watching this scene through water mirrors, Heavenly Eyes, and Divine Sense secret techniques, completely fell into an unprecedented, crazy explosion and boiling!

"The Myriad Calamity sword chime! This is the monster from the deepest part of the Myriad Calamity Sword Mound, the one who used his body as a sheath, his soul as iron, and endured the grinding of trillions of different Sword Intents for thirteen thousand years—the Myriad Calamity Sword Son! He is actually... still 'alive', and has emerged into the world!!" An ancient elder from a Human Race Holy Land, who had been sealed for unknown ages and had witnessed the ancient wars, had his Dao patterns in Chaos, his longevity blood churning with excitement, and let out a blood-curdling cry.

"Moonlight cleanses the world, freezing the Divine Soul! It is the current Saintess of the Guanghan Immortal Palace, Long Yue! Legend has it that on the day she was born, the Lunar Star manifested for three days without stopping; she is a naturally born Lunar Immortal Body! She has actually been able to Cultivate the supreme Legacy of the Guanghan Moon Palace, the 'Extinguishing Moon Canon', to the Realm of 'Body becoming the Lunar, projecting to cleanse the world'! This chill could freeze an ordinary Saint to death!" Countless young Cultivators who claimed to be Geniuses looked up at that bright moon, their eyes devoid of any arrogance, leaving only near-pious obsession and fear that chilled to the bone.

"Primordial Infinity, Dao becoming a Divine Being! It is the Primordial Saint! He has actually touched the legendary Realm of 'Divine Being and Human Communion, Dao Shadow protecting the body' from the 'Primordial Infinite Sutra'! That is the Realm of the founding Ancestral Master! Look at him resonating as one with the Dao shadow; could it be... he is transforming toward the essence of a Chaos Divine Being?!" A powerful being from an ancient and tyrannical alien race, whose body was comparable to a star, exclaimed in shock, his voice filled with unbelievable horror, as if seeing myth reflected in reality.

"The Lingxiao Heavenly Palace projection follows him! The sign of the Heavenly Emperor's procession! This is the Emperor Son of this generation of the Lingxiao Heavenly Palace! Only by cultivating the 'Lingxiao Heavenly Emperor Sutra' to the supreme level of 'receiving the Heavenly Emperor's mark' and resonating with the Origin of the Heavenly Palace can one summon even a trace of its phantom anytime, anywhere! Standing there, he is like the young Heavenly Emperor patrolling the heavens, with all Dao making way for him, and the Myriad Heavens bestowing blessings upon him! The Heavenly Palace of this generation has actually produced such a figure!" An old scholar with vast knowledge, who had once excavated ancient Heavenly Emperor ruins, roared madly, his Dao Heart almost lost.

Four great immortal orthodoxies, four peerless successors whose mere arrival had triggered Heaven and Earth anomalies and Dao resonance, descended together at this moment when the winds and clouds gathered!
