166: Chapter 166 Guess who I am?
Xu Jinhuan stared at the rolling Tribulation Clouds before him. He reached out with a massive hand, a giant palm capable of suppressing a sea of stars, which suddenly descended, locking down all the Tribulation Clouds and lightning that attempted to dissipate or escape.
With a sudden pull, he dragged them all back.
Deep in the starry sky, the Heavenly Dao of the Endless Immortal Domain, operating in the shadows, froze for a moment. It seemed dazed, as if startled by this sudden turn of events.
The subsequent heavenly dao will still wanted to continue gathering the Tribulation Clouds.
However, the world's tribulation power condensed slowly; at this moment, it couldn't form a large enough scale of Tribulation Clouds, and thus could not continue to send down the Heavenly Tribulation.
It seemed as if the Heavenly Tribulation itself had been intimidated by Xu Jinhuan's constant plucking and was reluctant to appear.
After refining all the Heavenly Tribulation energy within his body, Xu Jinhuan looked at the remaining energy, which was less than one-ten-thousandth of its original state. With a casual wave of his hand, he shattered and dispersed it.
The Heavenly Tribulation at its Peak had yielded minimal results for him. Now that not even one-ten-thousandth remained, there was simply no need to devour and refine it.
As the Heavenly Tribulation dissipated, golden clouds spread across the sky, surging around him.
At this moment, Xu Jinhuan was like a transcendent titan standing at the Peak of the galaxy, radiating divine light and holy brilliance.
He was more ethereal and holy than all the gods and buddhas in the sky, shining upon the eternal heavens.
Such astonishing auspicious signs and wonders might not even appear when an Immortal King is born, which showed how extraordinary and beyond the norm Xu Jinhuan was.
The divine light withdrew, and Xu Jinhuan's aura became ordinary and simple once more. He had now completely stepped into the Quasi-Emperor Realm.
The difference was that all the bones beneath his skin and flesh were glowing, reflecting each other.
Countless patterns were engraved within them, spreading rapidly, even threatening to cover his Divine Soul.
"With just this terrifying Physical Body, I could blow apart a first-layer Immortal Venerable!"
Xu Jinhuan clenched his fist and muttered to himself. His eyes were burning with intensity. The dense Dao patterns within his body shone brilliantly, flowing and intertwining between his bones and flesh, constantly attempting to enter his Divine Soul.
"These patterns..." Sensing the drastic changes within his body, Xu Jinhuan was also somewhat surprised.
"They contain the ten thousand Daos and possess incredible power. Sketched by Eternal Power, they are mysterious, indescribable, and infinitely changing."
"Let's call them eternal patterns."
As he said this, he felt something in his heart, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes.
"When the eternal patterns completely cover my Divine Soul, I should be able to contend with an Immortal King."
...
Just as Xu Jinhuan was Undergoing Tribulation.
In a Starry Sky City near him, a man like a shadow frowned, his expression solemn.
"It's a fluctuation at the Immortal Venerable level. An Immortal Venerable powerhouse has actually been born in this Star Domain. It seems we must be more careful in our actions. Once he discovers us, we must promptly explain our purpose to preserve our lives."
A newly transcended Immortal Venerable powerhouse is extremely sensitive, especially to someone like Shadow, who is at the ninth level of the Heavenly Immortal Realm and serves another Immortal Venerable.
If a misunderstanding occurred, the consequences would be unimaginable.
The leader's words made the hearts of all the spies from the Great Yu Immortal Dynasty sink.
One of them spoke up, "To actually encounter a newly ascended Immortal Venerable powerhouse, how can we be so unlucky?!"
"There's no helping it. If we meet them, we meet them. Just accept your fate."
Even so, this Sword of Damocles hanging over their heads and the risk of sudden death at any moment made them shiver, feeling utterly suffocated upon deeper thought.
For a time, everyone fell silent.
After a long while, Shadow finally spoke softly, "Let's go. Keep searching. That fellow just underwent Ascension; he couldn't have left this Star Domain."
The group dispersed, continuing to search for Xu Jinhuan's tracks within the giant Starry Sky City.
Shadow, who had the highest Realm among them, was gazing over the entire giant city.
...
After finishing his Breakthrough, Xu Jinhuan slowly walked out, strolling through the starry sky and gazing at the dozens of surrounding Star Domains.
The Endless Immortal Domain was truly too large, containing countless Universes, and each Universe was also terrifyingly big, boundless and infinite. The smallest Universe had a diameter of hundreds of millions of light-years.
Only Immortal King powerhouses could traverse them to reach other Universes.
The Great Yu Immortal Dynasty dominated one region and was incredibly powerful. But in reality, it only lorded over three or four surrounding Star Domains.
In the vast starry sky and Universe, forces led by such Immortal Venerable powerhouses were countless.
As expected of the Endless Immortal Domain, the end of the heavens. Any random Star Domain contained countless exotic flowers and rare herbs that Xu Jinhuan had never seen before, giving birth to countless forms of civilization.
There was technology, religion, cultivation, and martial arts, but more often, there was wilderness and primitivity.
"So the birth of intelligent beings is not easy at all." Xu Jinhuan was filled with emotion, and his heart seemed to have gained new insights and understanding of the world and eternity.
Suddenly, his brow furrowed, and he let out a soft sound of surprise.
"Hmm?"
After a brief sensing, the doubt on his face completely vanished, replaced by an unexpected joy.
"Fine, I just happen to need a guide."
Xu Jinhuan's figure vanished from where he stood.
...
Inside Hengluo Starry Sky City.
The Cultivators of the Great Yu Immortal Dynasty were frantic, constantly searching for Xu Jinhuan's tracks.
Suddenly, they only felt a white light flash before their eyes, and the surrounding scenery changed in an instant, as if time and space were reversing.
In the next moment, they had already returned to the side of their leader, Shadow.
They tried to struggle.
But everyone was shocked to find that their bodies could not move, and there was a terrifying pressure around them that reached the extreme.
It was as if they were merely ant-like toys to be toyed with at will by a supreme powerhouse.
Near Hengluo Starry Sky City, the only person who could do this was the Senior who had just broken through to the Immortal Venerable level!
Realizing this, everyone's expressions changed drastically, and they pleaded for mercy one after another:
"Senior, spare our lives! We are just passing through this place, looking for a fugitive wanted by the Immortal Dynasty. We absolutely have no intention of harming you, Senior. We hope Senior will look into it!"
"Yes, we swear upon our Dao Hearts that we have absolutely no intention of harming you, Senior!"
Oaths with Dao Hearts as the stakes rang out one after another, for fear of being misunderstood and punished by this Immortal Venerable powerhouse.
This was an Immortal Venerable, a being capable of suppressing several Star Domains. They, a group of minor Heavenly Immortals, were no different from ants before him.
Shadow, the top assassin of the Immortal Dynasty who once wouldn't blink even if Mount Tai collapsed before him, was now trying to force himself to stay calm.
"Senior, we are from the Great Yu Immortal Dynasty. We are here by the order of the current Martial God to apprehend a fugitive who assassinated the prince. We have no other intentions and would never dream of harming you, Senior. We hope for your understanding."
"If there is a single word of falsehood, I am willing to have my Dao Heart shattered and my cultivation dissipated."
His tone was neither humble nor arrogant, as if he were completely fearless.
Unfortunately, his trembling hands and feet betrayed the turmoil in his heart.
Hearing these lackeys of the Great Yu Immortal Dynasty constantly making great Dao oaths.
Xu Jinhuan's lips were truly uncontrollable.
An idea sprouted in his mind.
If these people knew that he was the fugitive, the assassin, the criminal they were talking about, and that he was their target...
What would happen to them?
Would their Dao Hearts shatter? Or would they have a mental breakdown?
Practice is the sole criterion for testing truth.
"Hmm, very good." Xu Jinhuan nodded and clapped his hands, praising them as he stepped out from the Void Realm.
"Guess who I am?!"
