Chapter 1 The Sea

*Whirr!*

*Whirr!*

*Whirr!*

Waves of seawater sounded, appearing inside and outside the Ten Thousand Immortal Mountains. The entire Western Immortal World heard the sound of the surging sea, and people were curious, wondering what had happened.

But at this moment, above the firmament, it was as if the sky had been torn open, and terrifying chaotic waters poured down directly, submerging the Ten Thousand Immortal Mountains.

"What's going on?"

"What kind of anomaly is this? The sky has cracked open."

Outside the Ten Thousand Immortal Mountains, the cultivators were astonished, because such an anomaly was too terrifying. The firmament had cracked open, pouring down a sea of chaos, which was astonishing.

"Mythical anomaly!"

Ji Wuxian the Great was also shocked. He knew what this anomaly was at a glance.

A mythical anomaly, the strongest anomaly. Even those in the Divine Sea might not have this kind of anomaly.

Among the Yin-Yang Immortal Mountains, the most shocked were not others, but Nuwa Chenxi and Nuwa Lingyun. They could not help but be shocked when they saw this anomaly, because this anomaly was very similar to an ancient map in their clan.

"Brother, this anomaly is very similar to the divine map in Nuwa Palace."

Nuwa Lingyun spoke, unable to help but say this.

"It is very similar. This is a mythical anomaly. If we want to awaken this anomaly, we must at least become peerless Immortal Emperors to have a chance to awaken it. Since ancient times, only the ancestor possessed this anomaly: Nuwa mending the heavens! Who has awakened this anomaly?"

Nuwa Chenxi was also extremely shocked.

This was a mythical anomaly. Not only did he know what this anomaly was, but he could also say its name.

Nuwa mending the heavens.

At this moment, the terrifying chaotic sea submerged the Ten Thousand Immortal Mountains.

In the Yin-Yang Immortal Mountains, three thousand Great Dao energies surrounded Lu Changsheng. The Great Dao Azure Lotus lifted him up, and the perfect Golden Core, like a divine sun, bloomed with ten thousand divine lights, preventing all devils from invading. His blood energy was terrifying and eternally indestructible. A man holding a giant axe stood up, with three primordial spirits standing behind the nascent soul.

Various mythical anomalies appeared together. Now, coupled with the mythical anomaly of Nuwa mending the heavens, they set off Lu Changsheng like an immortal god.

He had already stepped into the Immortal King realm. Every cell in his body burst out with the aura of a true dragon, terrifyingly monstrous.

Upon breaking through to the Immortal King realm, Lu Changsheng understood the power of the laws. Various laws condensed within him, and his strength soared hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of times.

At this moment, Lu Changsheng possessed absolute confidence. The so-called Immortal Saint experts could be suppressed with a single thought.

Immortal Kings of the same realm could be obliterated without using full strength.

The Ten Thousand Immortal Mountains were shaking, and the stars in the sky were shaking wildly. Beams of star power were added to Lu Changsheng's body, making him seem like an invincible being, like an immortal god, like a divine emperor from ancient times.

In the Yin-Yang Immortal Mountains, golden lotuses sprang from the earth, heavenly flowers rained down, and various auspicious anomalies appeared.

Strands of laws condensed.

The Heavenly Emperor Law played a great role at this moment.

Five Elements Law!

Sun and Moon Law!

Sword Dao Law!

Yin-Yang Law!

Formation Law!

As Lu Changsheng reached the Immortal King realm, the Heavenly Emperor Law also completed its transformation. All the immortal techniques he had learned before were converted into laws, and the Yin-Yang Law directly transformed into the Great Yin-Yang Art, one of the Three Thousand Great Dao Divine Powers.

Because he had the Yin-Yang Ancient Book, Lu Changsheng directly mastered the Great Yin-Yang Art.

The Great Yin-Yang Art, one of the Three Thousand Great Dao Divine Powers, ranked among the top ten, possessed the divine power to reverse Yin and Yang, seize life force, extend life, reverse Yin and Yang, and become immortal and indestructible.

This was the divine power of the Great Yin-Yang Art. It could plunder the lives of others, extend the lives of others, and also possessed the ability of immortality. No matter how serious the injury, it could be quickly restored with the power of Yin and Yang, making it the number one healing divine power in the world.

Lu Changsheng had mastered two of the Three Thousand Great Dao Divine Powers.

The Great Teleportation Art! The Great Yin-Yang Art.

As for the Three Thousand Heavenly Dao Laws, Lu Changsheng possessed the Sword Dao Law and the Formation Dao Law. He had a peerless Sword Dao imprint and seventy-two Formation Spirits in his body, which were directly converted into two Heavenly Dao Laws by the Heavenly Emperor Law.

As for the other Daoist divine powers, they had not yet taken shape and could not be called the Three Thousand Heavenly Dao Laws; they could only be regarded as supreme emperor techniques.

*Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!*

Lu Changsheng's primordial spirits also transformed at this moment. The three primordial spirits turned into three divine lights and merged into the body of the man holding the giant axe.

The man surrounded by chaotic mist also revealed a trace of his true appearance at this moment. Space was torn apart, and the Great Dao collapsed. This figure stood upright, possessing unparalleled power.

Lu Changsheng had a feeling that if he continued to cultivate in this way, this figure might completely revive. Although this was his nascent soul, there was something strange about it.

However, Lu Changsheng was also very clear that everything was based on himself. Even if his nascent soul revived, it would still be his true self and could not break away from him. Moreover, this was just his suspicion.

He only had half of the Sutra of the Future Buddha, and it was extremely difficult to comprehend it completely.

Even with the Heavenly Emperor Law, it was very troublesome. But at this moment, the nascent soul holding the giant axe sat cross-legged, chanting ancient scriptures. This was the second half of the Sutra of the Future Buddha, which shocked Lu Changsheng.

However, Lu Changsheng did not waste time and listened carefully. After a while, the second half of the Sutra of the Future Buddha appeared, and in an instant, the Yin-Yang Immortal Tree burst out with even more terrifying Yin-Yang Immortal Power.

And so, after seven days and seven nights.

Three Dao flowers appeared above Lu Changsheng's head. From each Dao flower, there came the sound of ancient chanting, like Daoist scriptures and also like Buddhist scriptures, all-encompassing.

These were the Three Lifetimes Dao Flowers, representing the past, the future, and the present, the three great perfections. Supreme perfection was enlightenment.

And Lu Changsheng's realm also soared wildly in an instant.

With the second half of the scripture, he could directly break through the realm.

Time passed bit by bit.

The entire Western Immortal World was bathed in various immortal lights, which lasted for three full months.

During those three months, the immortal energy of the entire Western Immortal World poured into the Ten Thousand Immortal Mountains uncontrollably. Because of Lu Changsheng's breakthrough, he even caused thousands of immortal mountains in the Ten Thousand Immortal Mountains to revive again.

However, no cultivator dared to step into those immortal mountains, because each immortal mountain was extremely violent, disturbed by terrifying power. It was not a normal revival; anyone who went there would die.

At this moment, within the formation of the Yin-Yang Immortal Mountains, Lu Changsheng opened his eyes.

But what he saw was not the Ten Thousand Immortal Mountains, but a scene of the Great Dao collapsing and the world withering.

Countless worlds were supported by an Azure Lotus. Each world was a universe, like a lotus seed. But the Great Dao Azure Lotus was entangled in black energy, and the entire Azure Lotus was completely decayed. Those universes, like lotus seeds, were constantly collapsing, withering like flowers. The common people were in pain, and black energy enveloped the entire Azure Lotus.

Everything in the world was completely destroyed, and no one could survive.

"This is… a corner of the future!"

Lu Changsheng was a little shocked. He saw a scene about the future.

After cultivating and realizing the Sutra of the Future Buddha, one could see the future and the past.

Now he saw the future. Although he did not know when in the future it would be, he could see that everything in the world would head towards destruction, everything would cease to exist. This was the destiny of the future.

But soon, Lu Changsheng understood that this was not a scene of the future; it was a metaphor.

The Great Dao Azure Lotus was the foundation of the Great Dao, and the lotus seed-like universes were individual universes, with countless Six Realms and countless strong people. What Immortal Kings and Immortal Emperors were all ants. In the eyes of the Great Dao, these were ants among ants.

The black energy was not real black energy; it was a description.

The Great Dao was being corroded and would be completely corroded in the near future. Then everything would cease to exist, and the Great Dao would collapse, and the universe would change.

But Lu Changsheng did not know what these black energies were. He could not think of so many possibilities in a single thought. It was already remarkable that he could realize that this was a metaphor.

A catastrophe was about to sweep through the heavens and myriad worlds, and not just the Six Realms.

No one knew where this catastrophe came from. Perhaps only those in the Divine Sea, or those supreme beings of the Divine Clan, knew a little bit about it.

Lu Changsheng was deeply shocked.

But the next moment, the scene changed instantly.

Between heaven and earth, there was a supreme and ancient palace. This palace was too terrifying, filled with the aura of the Chaotic Great Dao. There were magnificent buildings, jade towers, and immortal bridges everywhere. In the palace, every lamp was a spiritual treasure.

That's right, the most ordinary lamp was a spiritual treasure. As for whether it was a Houtian (acquired) spiritual treasure or a Xiantian (innate) spiritual treasure, it was unknown.

This palace was too terrifying. It seemed to be the most luxurious palace between heaven and earth.

And in the palace, a woman wearing a red divine phoenix robe was standing outside the main hall.

The woman had a face that made all the women in the world sigh, and also had an indescribable kind of dignified nobility. At this moment, standing outside the main hall, she was actually… looking at him.

That's right, she seemed to be looking at him, with a calm smile on her face, and a kind of… loving look in her eyes.

Lu Changsheng did not know what to say. He did not know who the other party was, but he could feel a kind of inexplicable familiarity.

At this moment, the woman wanted to speak, but before she could say a word, all the scenes collapsed directly, and a terrifying thunderclap exploded, shaking the entire Six Realms.

In the Divine Sea, a ten-thousand-zhang wave was stirred up. Because of this thunderclap, the rivers and seas were overturned. Immortal Emperors revived, revealing unparalleled shock.

Everything disappeared.

The past, the future, and the present, these three Dao flowers also merged into the body of the giant axe man.

Lu Changsheng's primordial spirit was completely fulfilled.

The primordial spirit was completely fulfilled, but the cultivation had not ended.

The Sutra of the Future Buddha that Lu Changsheng obtained was not the Sutra of the Future Buddha in the hands of Bodhi Wisdom, but the most original Sutra of the Future Buddha. This was the Buddhist scripture chanted by the Great Dao Nascent Soul.

It was the most complete and most original.

It detailed the Immortal King Great Realm.

For ordinary Immortal Kings, the Immortal King was divided into three major realms: Great Immortal King, Peerless Immortal King, and Supreme Immortal King.

However, if one wanted to truly perfect this realm, it was divided into nine realms in detail.

The Nine Heavens of the Immortal King.

Now Lu Changsheng had only stepped into the first heaven. There were still eight heavens behind him. Fortunately, he had the Sutra of the Future Buddha and would not encounter bottlenecks. The only flaw was that he needed a massive amount of immortal energy.

This was the only flaw.

At this moment, after Lu Changsheng's primordial spirit was completely fulfilled.

Above the firmament, the anomaly of Nuwa mending the heavens had disappeared, and in its place was endless colorful clouds.

Colorful clouds appeared all over the sky, as if it was a great omen of auspiciousness.

However, for some reason, after these colorful clouds appeared, people felt a sinking feeling in their hearts, and inexplicably felt uncomfortable. Although they were colorful clouds, they gave people a bad feeling.

Even Immortal Kings could not understand it.

"It's clearly an auspicious cloud, so why do I feel an unspeakable feeling of depression?"

A cultivator spoke, unable to help but say this.

"I thought I was the only one who had it; I didn't expect you to have it too."

"I have it too, I have it too."

"Now that you mention it, I have that feeling too."

At this moment, many cultivators could not help but discuss it. They all felt a sense of depression, as if this was not an auspicious cloud, but a cloud of tribulation.

But at this moment.

Outside the Ten Thousand Immortal Mountains, Ji Wuxian the Great was completely shocked. His calm expression revealed unparalleled shock.

The anomaly of Nuwa mending the heavens had already shocked him, but now that the auspicious cloud had appeared, he did not know what to say.

"Auspicious Clouds of Heaven and Earth, God-Slaying Tribulation."

After a long while, Ji Wuxian the Great spoke, and the shock in his voice could be heard by everyone.

"God-Slaying Tribulation?"

"Is it a lightning tribulation?"

"No way, this auspicious cloud is a tribulation cloud?"

"It really is a tribulation cloud?"

The world was shocked. They simply could not believe that the sky-covering auspicious cloud was actually a lightning tribulation.

But the person who said this was an Immortal Emperor, a living Immortal Emperor. How could they not believe it?

How could they not be shocked?

After all, who would believe that such an auspicious scene was a lightning tribulation?

But this feeling really did feel like a lightning tribulation.

"May I ask, Immortal Emperor, what kind of lightning tribulation is this?"

A Divine Clan Immortal King spoke, respectfully asking Ji Wuxian the Great.

Ji Wuxian the Great did not want to answer, because a mere Immortal King was not qualified to ask him questions. Even a Divine Clan Immortal King was not qualified.

But because he was too shocked, Ji Wuxian the Great could not help but answer.

"The Lightning of the Auspicious Clouds of Heaven and Earth, God-Slaying. This kind of lightning tribulation is the lightning tribulation that an Immortal Emperor will encounter when they finally perfect their transcendence. In other words, even I can't withstand this kind of lightning tribulation."

Ji Wuxian the Great's words shocked hundreds of millions of cultivators.

A lightning tribulation that even an Immortal Emperor could not survive?

How terrifying would that be?

At that moment, a three-colored divine thunder descended from the sky and struck directly at the Yin-Yang Immortal Mountains.

*Boom! Boom! Boom!*

The Ten Thousand Immortal Mountains shook directly at this moment.

Terrifying power filled the immortal mountains. They were not protecting Lu Changsheng, but protecting themselves. Otherwise, this divine thunder would have directly collapsed the Ten Thousand Immortal Mountains.

At this moment, Lu Changsheng's figure appeared, standing directly above the firmament, resisting the lightning tribulation.

Hundreds of millions of cultivators were shocked again, never expecting that this lightning tribulation was actually aimed at Lu Changsheng.

This was too exaggerated!

They thought that Lu Changsheng was just an Immortal King, so they subconsciously thought that Lu Changsheng would undoubtedly die.

At that moment, the three-colored divine thunder fell. It was not very thick, about a zhang (3.3 meters) wide, but the energy it contained was enough to obliterate an Immortal Emperor.

And so, this divine thunder struck Lu Changsheng's body head-on.

But Lu Changsheng simply did not care about the divine thunder.

His mind was full of thoughts about the scene he had just seen.

Who was that woman, and what was her relationship with him?

What kind of catastrophe would there be in the future?

He vaguely felt that…

The main storyline… might be about to begin.
