The starry sky was dim, and the nearby stars showed no signs of life or the presence of any cultivators.
The previous battle was an imperial war, and the aftershocks were enough to destroy everything around it.
And at this moment.
Buzz~
A powerful wave was spreading, affecting the surrounding stars and causing them to tremble.
The Chaos Pearl appeared before Li Ming's eyes. As his life energy was consumed, it emitted divine light and, in the next instant, it directly merged into his body.
His aura had been somewhat weakened, a result of overdrawing his Supreme Bone and being severely injured. However, at this moment, a boundless vitality suddenly appeared.
"As expected, the Chaos Pearl is extremely important to me!"
Li Ming was filled with mixed emotions.
It was because of this that he was able to directly upgrade his physique by consuming his life energy.
He now understood that every single golden attribute was unique.
[Chaotic Azure Lotus Body (Gold)]: [Supreme physique perfected, primordial spirit innately immortal, physical body has reached the peak of immortality, with the possibility of reaching the supreme Primordial Chaos Realm.]
The appearance of this golden phrase brought him the most powerful transformation in his history.
Achieving a supreme physical constitution is a rare occurrence, and its most direct benefit is the transformation of the physical body.
"puff!"
With a loud bang, Li Ming's body suddenly bled profusely. The powerful life force caused his physical body to explode, and the dissipated blood and qi were like a vast ocean, boundless and incomparable, like countless suns.
As his body continued to crack, his bones broke and reformed, especially the Supreme Divine Bone in his chest, the original wound reappeared, and drops of golden blood flowed out, looking horribly disastrous. His aura also continued to decline until he reached the bottom.
Li Ming's flesh and blood began to glow, his bones shone brightly, his body was reconstructed, and divine light flowed through him.
His body glowed, like a glass lamp illuminating the starry sky, eternal and immortal.
His eyes were even more unfathomable, like a chaotic fog!
At this moment, all the countless techniques and supernatural abilities he possessed underwent a transformation.
With this change, at this moment, his aura could no longer be concealed.
His aura continued to rise, becoming ten times, a hundred times stronger than before. In an instant, the galaxy trembled, and faint lightning flashed above the universe.
This is a sign of the impending tribulation of enlightenment!
Having reached the Quasi-Emperor realm, Li Ming's Chaotic Azure Lotus Body was fully perfected, making him incredibly powerful and arguably the strongest Quasi-Emperor. Even without using any supernatural powers or magical treasures, he could still fight against beings in the Immortal realm.
This sight stunned countless people.
"Is this the tribulation for attaining enlightenment?"
"So, he hadn't attained enlightenment before?"
In other words, before Li Ming achieved immortality, he had already killed five immortal demon progenitors.
Even the powerful emperors from other great realms were shocked.
Normally, to attain immortality, a Quasi-Emperor reaches the pinnacle in a certain field, using this as a foundation to merge with the Heavenly Heart Mark and achieve the Dao. Once successful, no one else in this great world will have the opportunity to achieve the Dao in this way.
However, one can also choose to defy the heavens and prove one's path, or travel to other great realms.
As for how the Primordial Heavenly King suddenly attained enlightenment, it was because he retrieved his Dao Fruit, which was already immortal, so naturally he remained immortal after retrieving it.
Among the countless powerful beings in the heavens, only those who have reached the pinnacle of immortality possess such abilities.
This moment.
Li Ming sensed the arrival of a will, and the Heavenly Heart Mark appeared in front of him. If he chose to merge with it, he could directly break through to immortality.
However, proving one's path in this way, to some extent, cuts off any future possibilities.
The path to transcendence lies not in heaven and earth, but within oneself. One cannot defy the heavens or break free from the shackles of heaven and earth; otherwise, transcendence is impossible.
Once you accept your destiny, there's virtually no chance of transcending it.
But if one does not acknowledge destiny and accept the mark of Heaven, then one will face calamities that are more than ten times greater than those of Heaven!
Therefore, there are actually quite a few people in the myriad realms who know this information, but only a few choose to defy the heavens and attain enlightenment.
Even if one chooses to defy fate and attain enlightenment, it will not be done in the first life, but rather by accumulating merit over many lifetimes.
With a thought, Li Ming unleashed a divine light from his eyes, illuminating destiny and shattering the universe.
A sense of oppression descended, an endless sea of lightning—a spectacle Li Ming had never witnessed before.
Everyone who witnessed this scene was speechless with astonishment, finding it hard to believe.
This catastrophe was a once-in-a-millennium event. An unknown area was transformed into a sea of lightning, and even the Great Dao was being obliterated. People could still sense this fluctuation even from an immeasurable distance, as if an endless mountain was pressing down on their hearts.
Countless dead stars in the vicinity turned to dust at this moment; under this world-destroying thunder, nothing could survive.
The scene resembled the creation of the world, with countless beings from the past emerging from the sea of lightning, all of whom were unparalleled powerhouses throughout history.
"A tremendous calamity! Sure enough, someone in this era will choose to defy the heavens and prove their path!"
"Having achieved the Great Completion of the Chaos Body, one is already comparable to a Great Emperor. I believe I am confident that I can overcome this tribulation."
This sea of lightning was so vast that it attracted the attention of countless powerful beings across the heavens. Even emperors were observing it, because even they had never taken this step before.
In the sea of lightning, Li Ming used his power to break through the sky and was in the center. Countless bolts of lightning flashed and rushed towards him. In the vast and boundless sea of stars, it seemed as if the scene of creation was unfolding.
This power was too terrifying; even the previous imperial battles did not possess such might, capable of cleaving immortals in two.
Li Ming's entire body radiated divine light, and the strength of his physical body had reached an unbelievable level. Even an imperial weapon was not as sturdy as him. With every gesture, he wielded the power of a great world, enough to destroy everything.
Despite the countless thunderous attacks, he remained unmoved.
With each punch, a former emperor transformed into a lightning shadow shattered.
"Unprecedented!"
Beyond the distant Milky Way, the Great Emperor Aogu's eyes flickered, his expression shifting, and he sighed:
"I am no match for him!"
In the realm of gods and demons, within the supreme power, the God and Demon Palace.
"Is he really going to defy the heavens? Such a powerful enemy is definitely not someone we should offend!"
All the powerful figures in the God and Demon Palace were trembling with fear, having given up any thought of revenge. Although their clans had supreme experts in charge, could they really defeat this supreme genius who had achieved the Great Perfection of the Chaos Body?
"Amitabha, the Chaos Body is about to attain enlightenment, and the Heavenly Emperor and Demon Ancestor are also expected to descend to earth. I wonder when all the Buddhas will return."
In Little Western Paradise, an old monk with yellow eyebrows sighed.
"Incredible. This era is indeed a change that occurs only once every ten thousand years. No, it may be the greatest change in history."
At this moment, throughout the myriad realms, some peerless powerhouses sighed softly.
This power truly exceeded their expectations.
"Legend has it that the Heavenly Emperor broke through all the paths, opened up the eternal heavenly realm, and created the Heavenly Court."
Above the Chaos Sea, within a celestial mountain cave, an immortal Golden Immortal solemnly spoke.
"What merit or ability does he possess to dare compare himself to the Heavenly Emperor?"
Another Golden Immortal in the cave snorted coldly, but his heart was heavy.
He could slay immortal demons without ever attaining enlightenment; if he were to defy the heavens and achieve enlightenment, it would be a major turning point.
"Let him undergo his tribulation first, and then make his move at the most crucial moment!"
Another voice, devoid of any emotional fluctuation, rang out.
At this moment, the powerful immortals all reached a consensus.
When the Heavenly Emperor returns, the Heavenly Court will naturally reopen, ushering in a golden age for all the heavens, but it will also inevitably cause turmoil throughout the heavens.
Most importantly, the Three Pure Ones, the Four Emperors, the Five Elders, the Six Ministers, the Seven Primordial Ones, the Eight Extremes, the Nine Luminaries, and the Ten Capitals are all predetermined in the dark.
"boom!"
Within the sea of lightning, various palaces and pavilions manifested, the Nine-Layered Immortal Tower suppressed them, the Three Thousand Great Daos transformed into lightning, the Holy Spirits transformed into calamities, the Five Elements' birth and death calamities... countless great calamities struck down simultaneously.
Even such a powerful calamity could not cause Li Ming any real harm.
On the contrary, with endless tribulations, his strength actually increased, and his Chaotic Undying Golden Body reached the fourth level, and continued to improve.
"We won't let him get through this smoothly!"
At this moment, the rules of heaven and earth were in chaos, the Nine Heavens descended upon the world, and four immortal mountains emerged above the sea of thunder.
On each of the sacred mountains sits a majestic being, looking down upon all living beings with unparalleled power.
This is an immortal blocking the way!
