149: Chapter 149 Breaking Boundaries with Force, Ascending to the Immortal Realm

The starry sky was silent; in the billions of miles of Void Realm, only Lin Wan stood alone, suspended in mid-air.

He closed his eyes, his mind sinking completely into the slowly rotating, ceaselessly evolving "Chaos Reincarnation Divine Kingdom" within his body.

The "Chaos Reincarnation Divine Kingdom" had already initially evolved the prototype of a "world". Within it, the four supreme dao rhymes of "Chaos", "existence", "Reincarnation", and "the end" flowed ceaselessly, faintly forming a world of its own. Phantoms of suns, moons, stars, mountains, rivers, wind, rain, thunder, lightning, plants, insects, and fish appeared, and simple prototypes of Innate beings were even being nurtured, already possessing some of the authority and characteristics of a "world".

At this moment, as Lin Wan activated it with his thoughts, the "Chaos Reincarnation Divine Kingdom" shone brilliantly. A vast, grand, inclusive, and evolving aura permeated from within Lin Wan's body, spreading, permeating, and sensing towards the endless Void Realm silently.

Ordinary True Immortals ascending usually rely on their own Perfection dao fruit to trigger the "Immortal Realm guiding immortal light" from the unknown, following that guiding force to break through the boundary and ascend. This method is safe but passive, requiring one to wait for an opportunity.

But what Lin Wan chose was to break the boundary with strength and force his Ascension. This method requires using one's own supreme power to forcibly sense and lock onto the coordinates of that higher-level world—the Immortal Realm—and then tear through the incredibly sturdy boundary between the Lower Realm and the Immortal Realm, creating a temporary passage to force his way in.

This method has extremely high requirements for strength, comprehension of the "Dao", and control over the Law of space. Moreover, the process is extremely dangerous; if one is even slightly careless, one could be torn to shreds by violent interface forces or spatial turbulence, or lost in the endless Void Realm, never to be reborn for eternity.

But Lin Wan had sufficient confidence in his own strength and his "Chaos Reincarnation Great Dao".

The "Chaos Reincarnation Great Dao" encompasses all things and evolves the heavens. The myriad worlds of the heavens and their billions of Laws can all be encompassed and evolved. The Immortal Realm is merely a higher-level world with more perfect Laws. Its essence is still a "world", an aggregation of "Laws". Since it is within the scope of "Chaos Reincarnation" to encompass and evolve, then sensing its coordinates is not an impossible task.

Time passed, second by second.

Lin Wan's Divine Sense, bolstered by the "Chaos Reincarnation Divine Kingdom", was like invisible tentacles, constantly spreading and exploring into the depths of the endless Void Realm. He cast aside all distracting thoughts, his mind completely immersed in sensing the world Laws of that higher, more vast, and more perfect realm.

He could "see" that in the endless Void Realm, there existed countless "world" light spots, some bright or dim, some large or small, some stable or fragile. Those were the projections of the myriad worlds of the heavens, countless large and Small Worlds, Secret Realms, and cave heavens. Most of these "world" light spots had incomplete Laws and thin energy; to him, they were like fireflies, not worth mentioning.

What he was looking for was the... Immortal Realm, which was like a brilliant sun, with perfect Laws, vast energy, high above, and ruling over the myriad worlds of the heavens!

"Found it!"

He did not know how much time had passed—perhaps several hours, perhaps several days. Lin Wan's tightly closed eyes suddenly opened, and two brilliant beams of Chaos divine light shot out from them, as if they could see through the myriad worlds of the heavens and reach directly to the Origin of the Dao!

In his "perception", in the deepest part of the endless Void Realm, "above" those countless "world" light spots, there existed a... behemoth whose vastness, greatness, and brilliance could not be described in words!

It was an existence that could not be described by size, shape, or color, as if it were the source of all "worlds", the end point of the Laws of the myriad worlds of the heavens, and the ultimate destination of energy and matter! It was like a brilliant sun, eternally burning, impossible to look at directly, containing endless creation, endless Laws, and endless mysteries! It was also like a supreme Universe, encompassing countless stars, countless worlds, and countless planes, whose boundaries could not be imagined, eternally operating!

Just by "perceiving" it from afar across the endless Void Realm, Lin Wan could feel the supreme Law aura emanating from that behemoth—awe-inspiring, terrifying, and desirable—as well as the vast, ocean-like, endless, and incomparably pure... Immortal Qi!

The Immortal Realm! That was the Immortal Realm!

"What an Immortal Realm! It is worthy of being the pinnacle of the myriad worlds of the heavens, the ultimate destination yearned for by Cultivators!" Lin Wan felt a shock in his heart, immediately followed by a surge of intense desire and Battle Intent.

"It will be you!"

Lin Wan moved his mind, and the "Chaos Reincarnation Divine Kingdom" within his body suddenly erupted with unprecedented brilliant light! A force even more vast, grand, and terrifying, as if it could open the heavens and earth and evolve the heavens, surged out from the "Divine Kingdom" and empowered Lin Wan's body.

"In the name of my Chaos Reincarnation!"

"Evolve the heavens, encompass all things!"

"Laws of the myriad worlds, obey my command!"

"Open for me!"

Lin Wan looked up and roared, his voice shaking the starry sky. He slowly brought his hands together in front of him, and then, towards the Immortal Realm that he had sensed deep in the endless Void Realm, which was like a brilliant sun, he suddenly... tore!

"Rip—!!!" A sharp, ear-piercing sound, like tearing cloth, which seemed capable of tearing apart Souls and shattering eternity, resounded through this starry sky, even reaching "Zhenxu Pass" and spreading to every corner of this Star Domain!

Where Lin Wan's hands tore, the originally stable, calm, and void starry sky, like a fragile mirror, was forcibly... torn open by an indescribable, terrifying force that exceeded the endurance limit of the Laws of this Star Domain!

No, it was not just a gap, but a... huge crack that was constantly expanding, its edges shimmering with seven-colored light, its interior pitch-black and deep, from which violent spatial turbulence capable of tearing stars to shreds, as well as even more terrifying, destructive interface forces generated by the collision and friction of different interfaces and different Laws, were surging out!

Inside the crack, it was not the Immortal Realm surrounded by Immortal Qi and auspicious clouds as imagined, but a chaotic, violent, pitch-black Void Realm tunnel filled with destructive power! At the end of the tunnel, faint, even more brilliant, vast, and heart-palpitating light could be seen coming—that was... the entrance to the Immortal Realm!

Forcibly breaking the boundary and opening a temporary passage between the Lower Realm and the Immortal Realm—success!

However, this was only the beginning!

With the appearance of the boundary crack, even more terrifying backlash followed!

"Boom—!!!" An indescribable, violent force, filled with the will of rejection, crushing, and destruction, as if the fury of the entire Lower Realm, poured down crazily from the crack towards Lin Wan! This was the Heavenly Punishment brought down by the Laws of the Lower Realm upon the "rebel" attempting to "escape" and destroy the balance of heaven and earth! It was the backlash of the interface force!

At the same time, inside the crack, countless violent spatial turbulence, like billions of incomparably sharp blades, carrying the terrifying power to cut and tear apart all matter, energy, and Divine Soul, swept towards Lin Wan! This was one of the most terrifying dangers naturally produced when an interface crack forms!

"It comes!" Lin Wan's eyes narrowed; he had long been prepared. He moved his mind, and the "Chaos Reincarnation Divine Kingdom" within his body suddenly expanded, forming a hazy yet undeniably real, grayish, huge light-shadow shield outside his body that seemed to contain a real world, firmly protecting him within.

It was precisely the manifestation of the main body of the "Chaos Reincarnation Divine Kingdom"!

"Rumbl—!!!" The terrifying interface force backlash, like billions of ancient divine mountains, slammed fiercely against the light-shadow shield manifested by the "Chaos Reincarnation Divine Kingdom". The violent spatial turbulence, like billions of blades of destruction, crazily cut and tore at the light-shadow shield.

However, that seemingly thin, illusory, grayish light-shadow shield, under the dual impact of the interface force and spatial turbulence, only rippled slightly, remaining unmoved and as stable as a rock!

The "Chaos" dao rhyme flowed, encompassing, decomposing, and assimilating the destructive energy contained within the interface force and spatial turbulence.

The "existence" dao rhyme stabilized, firmly anchoring the light-shadow shield itself, making it as stable as a mountain and unbreakable under the terrifying impact.

The "Reincarnation" dao rhyme operated, incorporating the violent energy that came crashing in into the Reincarnation system, with a portion turning into the driving force for the evolution of the "Divine Kingdom", and a portion following the trajectory of "Reincarnation", guided into the void and becoming formless.

And the dao rhyme representing "the end", like the sharpest spear, at the most violent point of impact, used "ending" against "destruction" and "the end" against "Chaos", meeting force with force, thoroughly ending and annihilating those most core, most difficult-to-resolve destructive forces!

The "Chaos Reincarnation Divine Kingdom" encompasses all things, evolves the heavens, stabilizes itself, operates Reincarnation, and ends all Laws! Under the impact of the most violent, chaotic, and dangerous interface forces and spatial turbulence in the gap between the Lower Realm and the Immortal Realm, it displayed its unparalleled, terrifying defensive power and adaptability!

"Interface forces, spatial turbulence... nothing more than this." Lin Wan, situated within the "Divine Kingdom" shield, felt the terrifying impact, but instead of feeling any fear, a gleam of excitement flashed in his eyes.

He could clearly feel that under the impact and tempering of this violent interface force and spatial turbulence, the "Chaos Reincarnation Divine Kingdom" within his body not only suffered no damage but became even more solid and stable! Those interface forces and spatial turbulence energies decomposed and assimilated by the "Chaos" dao rhyme turned into the purest "nourishment", absorbed by the "Divine Kingdom", accelerating the evolution of the "Divine Kingdom". And those most core destructive forces that were difficult to decompose or assimilate were turned into nothingness under the ending and annihilation of "the end" dao rhyme, which instead caused the "Divine Kingdom"'s comprehension and control of "the end" dao rhyme to deepen a little further.

"Good! What an interface force! What spatial turbulence! It is just right to use your power to temper my Divine Kingdom and solidify my Dao foundation!"

Lin Wan let out a long laugh. Instead of retreating, he stepped forward to meet the increasingly violent interfacial forces and spatial turbulence, actively charging into the pitch-black, chaotic, and destructive Void Realm tunnel!

"Husband!"

"Alliance Leader!"

"Father!"

In the distance, within "Zhenxu Pass", Ye Qingxian, Emperor Yan, Shen Qingxue, Su Youwei, Qin Keqing, Luo Yuheng, Lin Qingyao, Lin Qingxue, and countless high-ranking officials and soldiers of the Alliance, watching through the Formation light screen, saw Lin Wan actively charge into the terrifying Void Realm tunnel that seemed capable of swallowing everything. All were shocked and let out cries of alarm.

The terrifying aura permeating from the Void Realm tunnel—even from a great distance and through powerful Formations—made their Souls tremble, making them understand just how dangerous that passage was! An ordinary True Immortal would likely be torn to shreds by that violent interfacial force and spatial turbulence the moment they entered! Yet, the Alliance Leader had actually charged in voluntarily!

"Alliance Leader... he... he will be alright, right?" Yao Xi's pretty face was pale, clutching Dan Dingzi's arm tightly, her voice trembling.

"The Alliance Leader's Divine Ability is peerless, and his Chaos Reincarnation Great Dao is mysterious and unparalleled. Since he dared to choose breaking the boundary with force, he must have absolute confidence. We... just need to wait for the good news." Emperor Yan took a deep breath, suppressing the turbulent waves in his heart, and said in a deep voice. However, his hands clenched into fists involuntarily, his nails digging deep into his palms.

Everyone held their breath, their hearts in their throats, eyes unblinkingly fixed on the massive, pitch-black Void Realm tunnel with flickering seven-colored light at its edges, staring at the figure shrouded in a grayish light barrier, already vanished deep within the tunnel, visible only as a blurry point of light.

Time seemed to become infinitely long in this moment.

Every minute, every second, was a torment.

Who knew how long passed, perhaps a stick of incense, perhaps an hour.

Suddenly— "Hum—!!!"

Deep within that pitch-black Void Realm tunnel, a burst of unprecedented, dazzling, seven-colored Immortal light erupted, seemingly containing endless Law mysteries and boundless creation wonders! That Immortal light was completely different from the seven-colored light produced when forcefully breaking the boundary earlier; it was purer, more vast, and more... divine! It seemed to come from the higher-level, sun-like Immortal Realm!

Immediately after, an indescribable, refreshing, and incredibly pure Immortal Qi, which seemed capable of cleansing the Soul and sublimating life, surged out from the depths of the Void Realm tunnel along with the seven-colored Immortal light, spreading out and instantly enveloping the star-filled sky for a million miles!

"This... this is... Immortal Qi! So pure! So vast!"

"It's the aura of the Immortal Realm! The Alliance Leader... the Alliance Leader succeeded! He opened the passage and drew in the Immortal Qi from the Immortal Realm!"

"Heavens! The Alliance Leader really did it! Breaking the boundary with force, forcefully ascending, he actually... really succeeded!"

"The Alliance Leader is mighty! Chaos Reincarnation True Immortal, invincible!"

Feeling the pure and vast Immortal Qi, and seeing the brilliant and divine seven-colored Immortal light, everyone within "Zhenxu Pass" was stunned at first, then erupted into earth-shaking, fanatical cheers! Countless people wept with joy, embracing each other in celebration! Ye Qingxian, Shen Qingxue, Su Youwei, Qin Keqing, Luo Yuheng, and the other women were even more tearful, feeling excitement, pride, and deep reluctance to part.

Success! Their Alliance Leader, their husband, their father, had really done it! Breaking the boundary with force, forcefully ascending, he had opened the passage to the Immortal Realm!

"Boom—!!!" Just as everyone was cheering and jumping for joy, an even more grandiose and shocking loud noise came from deep within the Void Realm tunnel. The grayish "Chaos Reincarnation Divine Kingdom" light barrier shrouding Lin Wan's body suddenly erupted with unprecedented brilliance, as if transforming into a gray sun, forcibly pushing against the violent interfacial forces, spatial turbulence, and the even more terrifying repulsion and suppression from the Immortal Realm's Laws, and fiercely... rammed toward the end of the Void Realm tunnel, the source of the brilliant and divine seven-colored Immortal light!

"Open—for me!!!" Lin Wan's roar, like a thunderclap, faintly came through the Void Realm tunnel.

"Rumble—!!!" Even more terrifying sounds of impact, explosion, and annihilation came from deep within the Void Realm tunnel. The entire Void Realm tunnel was shaking violently, as if it could collapse at any moment. The pitch-black inner walls of the tunnel were torn with countless tiny cracks by the terrifying shockwaves, and even more violent spatial turbulence and interfacial forces gushed out, but all were forcibly blocked, swallowed, and neutralized by the "Chaos Reincarnation Divine Kingdom" light.

Finally, amidst an indescribable loud noise that seemed like the creation of the world, the grayish "Chaos Reincarnation Divine Kingdom" light, like a gray sun, completely crashed into the brilliant and divine seven-colored Immortal light and disappeared.

Immediately after, the huge Void Realm tunnel that had been forcibly torn open, with its edges flickering with seven-colored light, began to shrink and heal violently. Countless violent spatial turbulence and interfacial forces retreated into the depths of the crack like a tide. The pure and vast Immortal Qi and the brilliant, divine seven-colored Immortal light also quickly dissipated and faded away.

In just a few breaths, the huge Void Realm tunnel completely closed and vanished. The star-filled sky returned to its original calm and void, as if everything that had just happened so heart-stoppingly was merely a dream.

Only the faint, pure Immortal Qi still remaining in the air, and the countless figures within "Zhenxu Pass" who remained immersed in shock, excitement, ecstasy, and reluctance, proved that everything that had just happened was real.

"Husband... did he... succeed?" Ye Qingxian looked at the star-filled sky that had returned to calm, her beautiful eyes filled with tears, murmuring to herself.

"He succeeded! He must have succeeded!" Emperor Yan took a deep breath, feeling the residual Immortal Qi in the air, his eyes filled with excitement and longing. "The Alliance Leader used supreme power to break the boundary, open the passage, draw down the Immortal Qi of the Immortal Realm, and finally charged into the Immortal Realm's guiding light... This is clearly a sign of a successful Ascension!"

"Moreover," Elder Tianji held the heavenly secret disk in his hand, a look of relief appearing on his aged face. "Just now, I sensed with the heavenly secret disk that the Alliance Leader's energy signature has completely disappeared from this world. In the dark, there is a higher-level, more vast thread of destiny faintly connected to the Alliance Leader... That is... the Karma line of the Immortal Realm! The Alliance Leader has indeed successfully ascended to the Immortal Realm!"

"Great!!!"

"The Alliance Leader has successfully ascended!"

"Chaos Reincarnation True Immortal, invincible!"

"Congratulations to the Alliance Leader for ascending to the Immortal Realm, the Great Dao is within reach!!!"

Having confirmed the news of Lin Wan's successful Ascension, "Zhenxu Pass" once again erupted in earth-shaking cheers and congratulations. Everyone, whether it was the Alliance's high-ranking officials or ordinary soldiers, whether it was Lin Wan's family or other Cultivators, was sincerely happy and proud of Lin Wan at this moment! Their Alliance Leader had not only led them to pacify the "Black Abyss" and expel "the end", but had also, by his own strength, broken the boundary and forcefully ascended, stepping onto the Immortal path that countless Cultivators dreamed of! What a feat! What an honor!

"Husband, you must take care in the Immortal Realm..." Ye Qingxian wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, looking at the empty star-filled sky, her eyes filled with longing and determination. "We will definitely work hard to Cultivate, break through to True Immortal as soon as possible, and go to the Immortal Realm to find you!"

"Father, we will guard the Alliance well, guard Mother well, and wait for you to come back to pick us up!" Lin Qingyao, Lin Qingxue, and the other children also clenched their fists, their eyes filled with reverence for their father and anticipation for the future.

"The Alliance Leader's Ascension is the supreme honor of our Alliance! It is also a new beginning!" Emperor Yan took a deep breath, suppressing the excitement in his heart, and said loudly, "Transmit my Alliance Leader order!"

"From this day on, the entire Alliance shall remember the Alliance Leader's instructions, Cultivate diligently without stopping, unite sincerely, strengthen the Alliance, guard this Star Domain, and wait for the Alliance Leader to open up a foundation in the Immortal Realm and bring us over!"

"Yes! We will strictly obey the Alliance Leader's decree!!!" Hundreds of millions of soldiers replied in unison, their voices shaking the star-filled sky, filled with confidence and hope for the future.

At this moment, in the higher-level, sun-like Immortal Realm, in a desolate, Immortal Qi-filled, cloud-shrouded area called the "Ascension Pool".

"Hum—!!!"

Above a massive pool that seemed to be built from the purest white jade, filled with milky-white water that exuded a rich aura of life and pure Immortal Qi, the space suddenly twisted. Then, a crack with edges flickering with seven-colored light and a pitch-black, deep interior was forcibly torn open.

Immediately after, a young figure, shrouded in grayish light, with somewhat chaotic but still vast-as-the-sea energy, and carrying the distinct aura of the Lower Realm, stumbled out of the crack... and fell into the milky-white pool water with a splash.

"Cough, cough... finally... made it up." Lin Wan poked his head out of the pool water, wiped the water droplets from his face, and felt the incredibly pure and thick-enough-to-not-dissolve Immortal Qi in the pool, as well as the world Laws around him, which were countless times more stable, perfect, and vast than those of the Lower Realm. He let out a long sigh of relief, a look of relief appearing on his face.

Although the process was dangerous, and although in the final moments, the repulsion and suppression from the Immortal Realm far exceeded his imagination, almost making the "Chaos Reincarnation Divine Kingdom" inside him unstable, he had ultimately succeeded!

Breaking the boundary with force, forcefully ascending, he had stepped into this... Immortal Realm that countless Cultivators dreamed of!

A new journey had begun.
