Journey to the head

Becoming an immortal? Becoming an immortal!
In that instant, millions of dragons, tens of millions of sea creatures, and all human cultivators completely forgot about their upcoming trip to the Dragon Palace and stared blankly into the distance.

Someone is undergoing the Heavenly Tribulation to become an Immortal!

Only a small number of people know the inside story.

Ao Ti held his halberd horizontally, silently praying. The Ancestor had delayed until now, all for this moment. If successful, the Star Sea would be transformed; if not, a bloodbath would be imminent!
Ji Yunrou stood in the shadows, her expression unreadable. She silently awaited the outcome, which would determine the next direct course of the underground races.

The Dragon Clan has truly made an extremely bold move, even if it comes at a heavy price, even if it means the death of Bixi.
The great clan that once stood proudly at the pinnacle of all races still has its passion and its heart has not grown cold.

Can they really succeed?
As the three immortal lords, Yaoshu, Tianmen, and Basuo, were still in shock, they suddenly felt the space tremble. Turning their heads, they saw that the dragon and sea races, led by Bixi, who had reached the Dao and were refining their Void, were actually passing through the spatial boundary, crossing the void, and rushing towards the place where the Heavenly Tribulation for Immortal Ascension was located.

Eight-Stranded Immortal Lord was shocked: "Could the one undergoing tribulation be a dragon? Are they going to protect the Dharma?!"

Tianmen Immortal Lord whispered, "Beware of a trap! Perhaps they're trying to feint an attack from one direction while striking from another! Let's follow them and see!"

Seeing the dragon and sea race experts leave so decisively, the immortal cultivators could no longer sit still. They immediately broke through the void and chased after them. In the end, both sides only left a few Void Refinement cultivators on this ocean abyss. For a moment, all attention was focused on the Ascension Tribulation, and even the Dragon Palace could not be taken care of.

At this moment, the sound waves on the ocean's extreme abyss shook and the sky boiled. Tens of millions of cultivators who could not cross the void gazed at that purple lightning and burst into various kinds of amazement and discussion.

The Hai family's silver behemoth was also bustling with activity. Hai Shuangyao even begged Hai Yiwei to report to one of the Hai family's Void Refiners who remained there, asking him to take her to see someone ascend to immortality. Unsurprisingly, Hai Yiwei refused.

Hai Shuangyao was still muttering, "It's a pity my great-great-grandfather didn't come, otherwise he would definitely have taken me there," when Jiang Qingfeng felt a slight tremor in her arms. Her expression changed, and she suppressed her surprise and nervousness, avoiding the crowd and returning to her room to take out the telescope.

"Junior brother!"

Although the light was very dim on his side, and the background seemed to be filled with viscous liquid and slippery flesh, making it look very eerie, it was indeed Lu Qian!
He finally made contact with me! And the fact that we were able to establish contact through these telescopes means that we are not far apart, and he must be in the deepest part of the ocean.

Jiang Qingfeng asked anxiously, "Junior brother, where are you now? The Dragon Palace actually exists within a smaller realm. The passage has been opened, but there seems to be another change. Someone is undergoing a heavenly tribulation, attracting all the Immortal Lords and True Lords—"

“Senior Sister! I’ve seen everything. I’m not far from you. It’s urgent, so please listen to me first.” Lu Qian interrupted Jiang Qingfeng directly. “You must immediately tell Commander Wei that I have absolutely certain information.”

"Regardless of this Heavenly Tribulation for Immortality, and regardless of what the Dragon Clan and the Sea Clan are up to, and ignoring all the details, the Dragon Clan and the Sea Clan will definitely not allow the Immortal Fallen cultivators to enter the Dragon Palace! They will inevitably wage war against the Immortal Fallen cultivators!"

"Since that's the case, now that the Immortal Lords and True Lords of the Dragon Clan and the Sea Clan have mostly left the scene, and the top combat forces of both sides are roughly equal, this is the only chance for the Fallen Immortal cultivators to enter the Dragon Palace!"

"By the time Bixi returns, it will be too late. Please tell the Hai family's higher-ups, as well as the higher-ups of the Six Immortal Pillars, that if they still want to enter the Dragon Palace, now is the only time!"

Putting down the telescope, Lu Qian circulated his spiritual power, thickening the golden light of the Spirit Suppressing Tower, which was being continuously corroded by gastric juices. He laboriously turned his body in this space formed of flesh and blood, cursing, "I told you to eat less, your belly is full of fat! I'll cut it all out for you in a bit."

Yu Jiao's muffled voice came from outside: "No, my lord, I'll go back and start dieting. I'll just eat vegetarian food every day."

It turns out that Lu Qian was hiding inside the Jade Dragon's belly at this moment!

Meanwhile, Yu Jiao was mingling among the millions of dragons in the deepest abyss of the ocean!

In fact, the two of them arrived only after the group of the Six Pillars of Immortal Fall. At that time, the two sides were facing off and were on the verge of war. It was a golden opportunity that Yu Jiao quietly blended into the dragon group.

The Starry Sea is incredibly vast, its area exceeding the combined area of ​​six continents. With millions of dragons gathered in one place, how could they possibly recognize each other? Jade Dragon also had pure-blooded protection, and the lower-ranking dragons on either side were very respectful. No one dared to investigate carefully and thus failed to discover Lu Qian hiding in the dragon's belly.

Therefore, Lu Qian could see everything that happened after the standoff between the two sides through the jade dragon.

Moreover, being among the dragons, the Jade Dragon overheard a great deal of information. For example, although it was still unclear why the Bixi was deliberately delaying, or what connection it had with the Heavenly Tribulation for Immortality, the dragons had received orders to prepare for battle and prevent human cultivators from encroaching upon the Dragon Palace!
Ultimately, the Dragon Clan, the Sea Clan, and the Hundred Races of the Underworld will inevitably break the Gui Mao Agreement and declare war on the Immortal Fallen cultivators.

Bixi is stalling for time, surely to gain a greater advantage.

Therefore, this short window of opportunity is probably the only chance to enter the Dragon Palace.

Lu Qian took a deep breath and directed the jade dragon to move forward slowly.

But even if Hai Yiwei believes me, are the Hai family's higher-ups and the Six Immortal Pillars willing to believe him unconditionally? Directly storming into the Dragon Palace is practically tantamount to declaring war first. Do they have the courage to do that?

Ripples spread through the space, and one after another, Dao-Merging Immortal Lords and Void-Refining True Lords, who stood at the pinnacle of the Yuan Chen Realm, emerged from the void.

Just as they escaped, thunder roared, striking their hearts with immense force. The majestic might of the heavens was the wrath of the Yuan Chen Realm, determined to reduce those who sought transcendence and escape from this realm to ashes!

The aura of destruction and the terrifying pressure caused the faces of all the Immortal Lords and True Lords to turn solemn. The Yuan Chen Realm is the mother that nurtured all people and the foundation of everyone's Great Dao. Now, this mother is unleashing her boundless wrath on her rebellious son. Who wouldn't tremble with fear?

The suppression from the level of life caused the Refining Void True Monarch's body to tremble uncontrollably, and several Dao Integration Immortal Monarchs also had their faces twitch and their eyelids tremble slightly.

Is this the Heavenly Tribulation for Becoming an Immortal?

Will we also have to face this calamity in the future?

Striving to clear his mind and focus his gaze, he saw that the sea of ​​lightning, now dyed purple, was surrounded by a circle of Dao Integration and Void Refinement cultivators from the Dragon Clan and the Sea Clan.

All the dragon and sea races in the Starry Sea who have reached the Dao Integration or Void Refinement stage have gathered here!

Led by Bixi, seven Dao Integration Realm cultivators and nearly a hundred Void Refinement Realm cultivators formed a large circle, united to protect Lei Hai from the outside world. Each of them had unleashed their spiritual pressure and their spiritual power was boiling, their eyes filled with murderous intent, warning any intruders not to take another step forward.

Otherwise, it will surely invite relentless attacks from the dragons and sea creatures!
Wait, seven? Shouldn't the Dragon Clan have eight Celestial Lords?
Yao Shu, Tian Men, and Ba Suo stared wide-eyed as they saw a lean and agile figure struggling and resisting fiercely in the sea of ​​lightning!
It was a jet-black dragon!
It appeared much thinner and more slender than ordinary dragons, yet its aura was terrifying. Its entire body was covered in black scales, its dragon head was ferocious with a hint of leopard-like features, its eyes were blood-red with vertical pupils, and a bloodthirsty and violent aura emanated from it with every glance.

A pair of jet-black, sharp horns extended backward close to its head, pointing diagonally towards the sky. Bone spikes protruded from its back, and its four claws swung about with hook-like fingers. The end of its long tail resembled a bone blade, making it exceptionally ferocious and terrifying.

Its dark red mane only covered the shoulder and neck joints, like flames burning fiercely.

The moment I saw it, four words jumped into my mind: violent and ferocious!
"So that's how it is, it's Lord Daohai!" Heavenly Gate Immortal Lord frowned deeply. "I was wondering where it was hiding, not even coming over when the Dragon Palace opened, but it's actually undergoing its Heavenly Tribulation to become an Immortal here!"

The Eight-Section Immortal Lord almost gritted his teeth to pieces, staring unblinkingly at the Sea-Treading Lord who was resisting the heavenly tribulation, wishing he could turn his gaze into lightning and join the heavenly tribulation.

Dao Haijun is the grandson of Ya Zi, the second of the Nine Sons. He inherited all of Ya Zi's supernatural powers and has dealt heavy blows to Ba Suo Xianjun both openly and secretly. He is the number one enemy in the hearts of Xuan Hai Sect.

Ya Zi perished alongside the old demon general Yan during the True Immortal Calamity, but now Dao Hai Jun is about to undergo tribulation to become an immortal; perhaps he can truly surpass his predecessor. "Didn't you say that the Dragon Palace was open, and the Dragon Clan might break the Gui Mao Agreement, so you needed our help? Why are you all crowding here now?"

Of course, it wasn't just the three Immortal Lords of the Immortal Fall Islands who were drawn here by the Heavenly Tribulation of Immortality. The top forces from all six continents also mobilized, some appearing here and others hiding in the void. No wonder the Dragon Clan and the Sea Clan were all mobilized and on high alert, fearing that someone might disturb them.

The one who is now asking Yao Shu Immortal Lord a question is an Immortal Lord from the Tianquan Continent.

Yao Shu Immortal Lord shook his head: "I don't know either, but the Dragon Clan's behavior is strange, and I'm afraid they have some kind of conspiracy. We must all be careful."

“Even if Lord Daohai successfully ascends, he will be unable to provide any assistance to the Dragon Clan.” Another immortal lord from the Tianji Continent spoke up. “In front of the Luo Tian Forbidden Immortal Tent, anyone who becomes an immortal will be immediately confined from this realm and will be unable to do anything.”

That's what she said, but Immortal Lord Yaoshu still felt a heavy weight in his heart, and his heart was pounding. He hadn't felt this way for many years.

She and the Heavenly Gate Immortal Lord exchanged a glance. They opened their palms and each used their own methods to condense tiny star trails in their hands, with star marks flowing back and forth, attempting to deduce heavenly secrets and judge fortune and misfortune.

But a few breaths later, the star trail silently shattered.

"No, the Heavenly Punishment is too strong, interfering with the course of fate. Dao Hai's cultivation is also too high," said the Heavenly Gate Immortal Lord unwillingly.

Yao Shu Immortal Lord's gaze swept across the area, trying to find more allies.

Then she saw that on the Jade Balance Continent, Immortal Lord Peach Valley of the Taiyi Paradise stood at a distance with several Void Refinement cultivators, their faces full of solemnity. She was about to approach and greet them when she saw Immortal Lord Peach Valley shake his head, say a few words to the Void Refinement cultivators, and then disappear with them through space.

The Immortal Lord Yaoshu felt even more deeply troubled.

Should we leave too?

But whether they return to defend the Immortal Fall Islands or rejoin the Dragon Palace forces, it makes no difference. If the Dragon Clan truly harbors any conspiracy, Du Xu will catch up in an instant; wherever they go, the Dragon Clan will arrive right behind them.

Just then, the Immortal Lord of Tianji Continent said in a deep voice, "Watch closely, the Heavenly Tribulation is about to be overcome!"

"The Dragon Clan must have already set up numerous arrays to conceal the aura of the Heavenly Tribulation, not wanting outsiders to know that Lord Daohai is undergoing tribulation."

"It wasn't until the heavenly tribulations became increasingly fierce, destroying all the concealing arrays and barriers, that the aura of the heavenly tribulation dissipated, allowing us to know."

"This tribulation is now in its final stage and is nearing its end."

No sooner had he finished speaking than a loud explosion rang out!
As if the heavens had shattered and the world had collapsed, the purple lightning that filled the entire sky crashed down like a vast ocean!
In that instant, the world lost its color. The violent power blew away all the dragons and sea creatures guarding the area. The pseudo-realms, pseudo-immortal artifacts, and spiritual treasures that Yao Shu, Tian Men, and Ba Suo had created were rendered useless, like broken copper and scrap iron. Space was locked by an even more powerful and irresistible force, and the group of people were like ships caught in a tsunami at sea, directly thrown thousands of miles away!

After a dizzying spin, with a deafening roar, the Eight-Stranded Immortal Lord pierced through several mountains and became deeply embedded in the ground. This terrifying sensation left him feeling dizzy and disoriented.

Fortunately, the tribulation was not directed at him; he only felt a small aftershock.

In the blink of an eye, the Eight-Section Immortal Lord had fully recovered from his injuries. He couldn't wait to separate the void and return to the place of the Heavenly Tribulation. The other Immortal Lords and Void Refiners also returned one after another.

Everyone's gaze froze.

The space here seemed to have melted away, with a huge void black hole stretching across it, and the dragon and sea race leaders, including Bixi, were already respectfully worshipping in this dark void.

A crimson light shone forth, converging from all directions and transforming into a naked man.

He was thin and short, with a pale face, sharp brow bones, and blood-red vertical pupils, his eyes fierce and savage.

He took a deep breath, and the shattered patterns on his body, like broken glass, instantly healed. At the same time, he put on a jet-black scale armor with dark red patterns on the plates, like flowing blood.

An aura that filled the universe and overturned heaven and earth soared into the sky, transcending the five elements and forever freeing itself from the cycle of reincarnation!
Everyone present was trembling with fear, and instinctively wanted to prostrate themselves in worship.

He's an immortal!

Dragon Lord Daohai survived the Heavenly Tribulation and ascended to become an immortal!

……

Lu Qian had to admit that he had underestimated the Six Pillars of Immortal Demise.

It was originally thought that the six immortal pillars might be hesitant and timid, and wouldn't dare to break ties before the dragon clan made things clear.

Unexpectedly, he underestimated the Immortal Fallen cultivators' hostility towards the Dragon Clan, their mental preparation, and their arrogance.

After receiving Hai Yiwei's message, the team of the Six Immortal Pillars had already taken action in no time. Led by Lianxu and surrounded by Yuanshen, they escorted the nineteen selected geniuses and approached the Dragon Palace passage.

Xinghan Xuanjun held his head high, looking at Ao Ti, whose expression had changed drastically and who had raised his halberd.

With the dragons and sea creatures making such a show of force, and the old tortoise repeatedly stalling for time, anyone with eyes that aren't blind can see that there must be something wrong here.

But I don't care what kind of conspiracy the dragons have. We're going to enter the Dragon Palace now!
Ha, so what if we take the initiative to turn against the dragons?

They're just a bunch of defeated opponents, what's there to fear!

"Halt!" Several dragon clan Void Refinement cultivators instantly appeared, blocking the path of the Six Pillars of Immortal Fall team. "What do you want?"

A celestial being, having fallen and refined his essence, stepped forward and blocked their path.

"The Dragon Palace has limited opening hours, and we can't waste time here. We don't care what your dragon ancestors planned; we're going into the Dragon Palace now!"

Spatial ripples vibrated as the two Void Refining cultivators were pressed together.

The Six Immortal Pillars' Ascension Team plunged straight into the Dragon Palace passage! (End of Chapter)
