Chapter 568 - 539: Immortal Illusion
The Immortal Tribulation was overwhelming, and the entire Cyan Yang Divine Realm fixed their gaze towards the direction of the Cyan Cloud State.
After all, this was the first mortal ever to become an Immortal; before this, the Path to Immortality was severed, and never had any cultivator from the starry sky been able to achieve Ascension to Immortality.
Therefore,
all the cultivators in the Cyan Yang Divine Realm were especially focused on the Cyan Emperor’s ascension.
Boom!
Rumble!
Strike after strike of purple Celestial Thunder descended, a destructive aura pervaded, but it was only because the Cyan Yang Divine Realm had ascended to a second-tier world that the space was more stable than ever before.
Otherwise,
the power of the Immortal Tribulation would be unbearable for any common world.
The Cyan Emperor bathed in the Celestial Tribulation, wielding the Emperor’s Soldier he had forged over many years, the bronzed blade emanating Emperor’s Might, defying the heavens and battling the thunder and lightning.
This was the most formidable opponent he had ever encountered, and the Cyan Emperor’s battle spirit surged, his entire blood and energy fully activated and pushed to the limits.
"Fight!"
The Cyan Emperor roared.
The bronzed blade tore apart the boundless thunder and lightning.
At this moment,
a towering figure emerged from the purple Celestial Thunder, pressing down on the Cyan Emperor who was crossing the tribulation with a palm that appeared ordinary, yet contained the power of the Heaven and Earth Dao.
The Cyan Emperor felt a premonition arise within, yet looked at the purple figure with no trace of fear on his face.
With a step into the void, he was already battling the purple figure.
"It’s rumored that during an Immortal Tribulation, an Immortal Illusion from the ancient times may appear as the calamity of achieving the Dao. Now it seems the rumors are true!"
Some cultivators, watching the purple figure, recalled certain ancient secrets, and their expressions grew solemn.
Those who heard were similarly taken aback.
Immortal Illusion!
Throughout history, any being who could become Immortal was not simple.
Even an Immortal Illusion displayed strength not to be underestimated.
Then.
The Cyan Emperor, by his own power, was forcefully battling the Immortal Illusion, but he had little time to breathe before another Immortal Illusion was born.
One after another, these Immortal Illusions were once mighty beings who achieved Ascension to Immortality in the starry sky.
Though they had perished, their imprints merged with the rules of the starry sky, and now that someone was undergoing the Immortal Tribulation, these illusions awakened from the starry sky’s rules, becoming obstacles.
Even with the Cyan Emperor’s strength, while slaying the sixth Immortal Illusion, his physical body began to shatter, spilling blood upon the earth.
Such a tragic scene.
Made the other cultivators’ brows twitch.
The peril of the Immortal Tribulation,
was far more daunting than they had anticipated.
Even with the Cyan Emperor’s earth-shattering prowess, he was in such a predicament. If another cultivator faced the tribulation, they’d likely be reduced to ashes in a single encounter.
"I have cultivated till now, endured countless calamities; this mere Immortal Tribulation cannot hinder me!"
The Cyan Emperor swallowed the pre-prepared Divine Medicine, unleashing a powerful life force, as his shattered body visibly began to heal, and he once again surged forth to battle.
The bronzed blade tore apart the Azure Sky, slaying one Immortal Illusion after another.
With each Illusion slain, the Cyan Emperor’s injuries grew worse, and even consuming the Divine Medicine could not completely heal him.
But with each tribulation crossed, he could feel himself transforming.
At this moment.
With the destruction of yet another Immortal Illusion, the purple Celestial Thunder suddenly trembled, and an immense Divine Tree rose from the tribulation, casting its vast shadow across the heavens, its supreme divine might spreading, causing both the Cyan Emperor and all other cultivators to undergo a dramatic change in expression.
A towering Divine Tree!
The appearance of a Divine Tree Illusion in the purple Celestial Thunder was not what shocked them.
But the problem was,
this towering Divine Tree gave them a strong sense of familiarity.
"Damn, am I seeing things?"
"Am I hallucinating? Why does this Divine Tree Illusion resemble His Majesty the God Emperor so much?"
"I always said His Majesty the God Emperor had long become Immortal; now it seems the rumors are indeed true..."
Upon recognizing the identity of the Divine Tree, even some seasoned cultivators couldn’t help but utter an expletive.
After all,
no one expected,
that Gu Qingyang would appear within the Celestial Tribulation.
At this moment.
The Illusion of the Heavenly Dao Divine Tree traversed the void, a majestic figure stepping out from within, eyes indifferent as they looked down upon the Cyan Emperor, a finger imprint descending, turning thousands of miles of void into dust in an instant.
Watching this descending finger, the Cyan Emperor felt his hairs stand on end, as if some great terror descended, making him feel a threat like never before.
"Boom!"
The Cyan Emperor’s eyes were sharp, his blood and energy surged, the vast aura illuminating the void, with infinite power pouring into the bronzed blade, which fiercely clashed with the descending finger in a shattering collision.
The two forces collided.
The battle blade’s cold light shattered in an instant.
The overwhelming force crushed down, forcing the Cyan Emperor to use the Emperor’s Soldier to resist.
In the next moment,
his wrist split open.
Just as the Cyan Emperor’s physical body was about to collapse, a tremendous life force erupted from within him, allowing him to withstand the descending finger’s power as he took a step into the void, the bronzed blade soaring with earth-shattering power, as if breaking through all barriers.
"Boom——"
The cold light tore through the Azure Sky.
Not only did the majestic Illusion dissipate, the towering Divine Tree Illusion vanished, but even the purple tribulation clouds dispersed completely, leaving only a purple portal standing in the void.
The Cyan Emperor gazed at the purple portal and stepped directly into it.
The moment he stepped into the purple portal, an exceedingly mysterious power surged into his body, expelling all impurities within his flesh, and his entire being underwent an ultimate transformation.
"Rumble!"
Purple aura flowed across a million miles, the terrifying aura of overwhelming dominance spreading from the Cyan Emperor, evoking an impulse among all cultivators to bow in submission.
Immortal!
All were awe-struck as they looked at the figure, the vast Immortal aura harboring no desire for rebellion.
Even Lv Chunyang, a powerhouse who had already ascended to become Quasi-Immortal, felt like an insignificant ant before the Cyan Emperor now.
Mortal Transfiguration to Immortal.
Was truly transcending the ordinary.
Such powerful beings had clearly stepped into another realm altogether.
"Congratulations to the Cyan Emperor on achieving Ascension to Immortality!"
"Best wishes to the Cyan Emperor in reaching for eternity—"
Many cultivators now gathered in the Cyan Cloud State, respectfully congratulating the Cyan Emperor.
The Cyan Emperor remained composed, smiling gently, "Today, feeling inspired by my ascension, I shall speak the Dao in Cyan Cloud State, and you are welcome to join as fate would have it!"
"Thank you, Cyan Emperor!"
Everyone was overjoyed.
Hearing an Immortal speak the Dao was an unparalleled opportunity for them.
If they could glean some insights from his teachings, it might aid in their own future tribulation crossings to become Immortal.
At the very least,
it could deepen their cultivation, which surely wouldn’t be a problem.
