155: Jump out of the three realms

The Profound Nether Earth Fire had just dissipated when strange winds surged between heaven and earth, pouring in through his ears, nose, and four orifices, sweeping into his Jiangong Golden Citadel.

But at this moment, Lu Chen's Dao Embryo was already different from the beginning, like a god, like a saint. It remained unshaken no matter how the strange wind scraped, and even if there was a slight erosion, the mana in the Nurturing Soldier Immortal Coffin quickly replenished it.

After a long while, at a certain moment, his Dao Embryo, which was like a god and a saint, suddenly opened its eyes, opened its mouth, and swallowed the strange wind that had blown into the Jiangong Golden Citadel in one gulp, before closing its eyes again and remaining still.

However, the sacred feeling like a god and a saint, the rhyme like an immortal, became increasingly intense. Simultaneously, the vast mana within Lu Chen's body underwent a complete transformation, tinged with sacred immortal rhyme, as if he had already stepped halfway into the Immortal Realm.

"Dao Embryo!" Lu Chen took a deep breath.

Instantly, the spiritual energy between heaven and earth seemed to whip up a storm, rolling in, swallowed into his nostrils, and a 'rumbling' sound like thunder echoed within his body.

He felt it. The moment the Dao Embryo was completely formed, he was already different from before.

He was tinged with sacred immortal rhyme, incomparable to the past, and incomparable to any Dao Infant Realm cultivator he had seen.

"Tribulation lightning, earth fire, and strange wind helped me refine the Immortal Embryo. Now, it is done!" He closed his eyes again and refined all the remaining mana in the Nurturing Soldier Immortal Coffin.

His previously stagnant cultivation began to climb again, finally stopping at the peak of the early Dao Embryo stage, just one step away from entering the middle Dao Embryo stage.

Lu Chen vaguely gained a few more insights.

Perhaps the saying about a nine-inch nine ultimate Dao Foundation truly held some truth.

This was the ultimate of the Dao Embryo and Dao Foundation, which could be broken, but once broken, it would inevitably trigger the Heavenly Intent Dao Tribulation. This was both a disaster on the cultivation path and a gift from heaven and earth.

After overcoming the disaster, one could use the heavenly lightning, earth fire, and strange wind to refine the Dao Embryo into an Immortal Embryo, and from then on be like a god and a saint, cultivating an immortal rhyme.

This offered immense benefits to the cultivation path.

"My Realm has broken through to the Dao Embryo, my Nurturing Soldier Immortal Coffin..."

He wondered how many more Dao Soldiers could be nurtured.

According to past patterns, a Breakthrough in a major Realm would double the number of Dao Soldiers that could be nurtured.

When he was in the Xuan Fa Realm, for every minor Realm Breakthrough, the Nurturing Soldier Immortal Coffin could nurture forty more Dao Soldiers.

Therefore, after breaking through to the Dao Embryo, he should be able to nurture eighty more Dao Soldiers.

Just as Lu Chen was about to sink his consciousness into the Nurturing Soldier Immortal Coffin, at this moment, the Nurturing Soldier Immortal Coffin suddenly trembled slightly. In a trance, Lu Chen seemed to see a layer of faint constraint fading within the Nurturing Soldier Immortal Coffin, as if it was influenced by his Immortal Embryo, which was like a god and a saint, or perhaps being baptized.

Silently, the Nurturing Soldier Immortal Coffin changed!

At the same moment, Lu Chen's consciousness seemed to connect with some mysterious profoundness as the faint constraint of the Nurturing Soldier Immortal Coffin faded.

Almost in the same instant, all traces of Lu Chen's aura vanished without a trace. If one didn't look closely, it was as if he didn't exist in this world at all.

This feeling was not at all unfamiliar to Lu Chen; in fact, it was extremely familiar.

Because his Dao Soldiers were like this.

Lu Chen was in a trance for a moment, and then, without reason, an understanding arose.

"Beyond the Three Realms, not within the Five Elements, not falling into Reincarnation, neither born nor dead!" He seemed to murmur softly, "I have transcended!"

No, to be precise, he had attained longevity!

Longevity and immortality, no longer bound by Lifespan. No matter how the light and shadow flowed, how fleeting the years were, they could not leave any trace on him.

And all of this came from his achievement of the Immortal Embryo, using the sacred immortal rhyme to invisibly break a certain constraint of the Nurturing Soldier Immortal Coffin.

Thus, his life, death, and Lifespan were connected to the Dao Soldiers.

As long as there was any Dao Soldier in his Nurturing Soldier Immortal Coffin, he would be an eternal existence beyond the Three Realms, not within the Five Elements, and not falling into Reincarnation, thus achieving eternal life!

After a brief trance, Lu Chen suddenly smiled, and his state of mind also seemed to undergo a subtle change in silence: "People cultivate, they contend with others, they fight with heaven, they seek the Immortal Path, rushing about, experiencing near-death experiences, and what they seek is nothing more than the two words 'longevity'!

"And I have already attained longevity!"

From now on, even if he no longer cultivated, he could live forever in the world.

Birth, aging, sickness, and death would no longer be related to him!

No, that's not right!

He could still die!

Lu Chen suddenly realized that although he was connected to the transcendent state of the Dao Soldiers, he could still die!

Therefore, he still needed to be cautious and keep a low profile.

He made up his mind and silently walked out of the stone wall. As for the nine Earth Dragons that had naturally formed here, he didn't touch any of them.

This was a natural wonder of heaven and earth. He had taken all the Earth Dragon Liquid from them, but he could not sever the roots. In the near future, these nine Earth Dragons would still produce Earth Dragon Liquid and be obtained by those with destiny.

Perhaps, in the distant past, a cultivator had also come here, taken all the Earth Dragon Liquid that had been born, but also did not destroy this place. Thus, after a long period of time, Lu Chen would appear here, obtain a portion of the Earth Dragon Liquid, and use it to cultivate the Immortal Embryo!

He also used it to break a layer of constraint on the Nurturing Soldier Immortal Coffin and gain transcendence and eternal life.

He had taken advantage of the natural wonders of heaven and earth. If he were to sever their roots, Lu Chen himself was afraid that the Heavenly Tribulation would strike him down.

Walking out of the stone wall, Lu Chen glanced at the many uneasy Lin Yuan Sect disciples and Elders, and said, "I am not a bloodthirsty person. Since you have not harmed me, I will not rashly commit murder. You may leave!"

With that said, he floated up, transformed into a long rainbow, and fled into the outer sky.

"That malevolent star is finally gone!"

The Lin Yuan Sect disciples and Elders breathed a sigh of relief, as if a heavy burden had been lifted.

However, their expressions were quite complex.

Because this killer had previously slain many Yin God Realm high-level cultivators and dozens of Dao Infant Realm experts here, killing until the Lin Yuan Sect had no more Yin God Realm high-level cultivators and until the Lingguang cultivation world's strength would be greatly diminished as a result.

But just as Lu Chen said, he did not touch anyone who had not harmed him or harbored killing intent towards him.

This was true for the tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands, of cultivators who had fled this place earlier, and it was also true for these Lin Yuan Sect disciples and Elders.

Finally...

"Unexpectedly, in my lifetime, this old man actually witnessed the appearance of a peerless Heavenly Pride who triggered the Heavenly Intent Dao Tribulation and safely passed it. I wonder if this one can step onto the Immortal Path and achieve the Immortal Realm in the future?!"

............

In the vast, endless, dark, and cold universe starry sky.

A rainbow light flickered, finally flashing directly onto a Void-Breaking Boat.

Gu Wenzhao and Fan Yanbo, the two Protectors who had been waiting for a long time, their eyes lit up, and they hurried forward: "Little Lu, have you cultivated the Immortal Embryo?!"

They saw the rainbow light dissipate, slowly revealing Lu Chen's heroic and handsome figure.

As they looked, there seemed to be a sacred immortal rhyme lingering, ethereal as if standing on the ninth heaven like a god and a saint. The person was clearly the same person, but he always seemed different, vastly different from before!

This sensory perception was profound and mysterious, difficult to describe.

Even more mysterious was that Lu Chen was clearly standing before them at this moment, yet it felt as if he was not there, visible but undetectable.

It was as if he had leaped out of this vast heaven, earth, and Universe, leaped out of Reincarnation, and stood at an supreme height!

"This kid..."

Gu Wenzhao and Fan Yanbo, the two Protectors, became increasingly surprised as they looked at him!
