I conquer the immortal with my strength.

Chapter 578 The Mysterious Pivot of Heaven, Earth, and Man Opens; True Monarch Yihuang Emerges
"Two calamities combined...it's terrifying! But that's what makes it worthwhile!"

Xia Daoming took a deep breath, his eyes showing no fear, but rather a high fighting spirit!
With a flick of his sleeve, the Ancestral Dragon Overlord reappeared. Although it no longer transformed into a hundred-foot-tall golden body, its blood and qi surged like the sea, and the golden dragon appeared between its bones and flesh.

"Come on, let me see if the combined thunder and fire can truly shake me!"

boom--!
The first lightning tribulation descended from the sky, a thunderbolt with nine flames, like the wrath of a god, and struck Xia Daoming hard on the head!
The Ancestral Dragon Body trembled violently, its golden scales shattered, and its body was charred black, but in the next instant, golden light reappeared, and the dragon scales were reborn!
The second, the third... the tribulation lightning surged like waves, each one stronger than the last, the thunder scorching bones and the flames burning souls, each strike containing the destructive will of the Heavenly Dao.

But Xia Daoming gritted his teeth and endured it time and time again, supporting his invincible golden body, like a war dragon reborn from the flames!

—By the fifty-ninth bolt of heavenly lightning, the thunder and fire had condensed into the shape of a dragon and a phoenix, rushing straight towards his brow!

Instead of retreating, Xia Daoming advanced, his feet treading on the surging waves of the sea, his internal energy transforming into a roaring golden dragon, and he unleashed a punch!
"The Ancestral Dragon Suppresses Heaven!"

His fist, as powerful as a mountain, forcefully clashed with the Heavenly Tribulation Dragon and Phoenix!
boom! !

Thunder and fire exploded, and the shadow of the Ancestral Dragon roared across the sky!
"The sixtieth kalpa...the seventieth kalpa...the seventy-ninth kalpa..."

Thunder and fire converged with the will of heaven and earth, their power approaching that of the peak of the God Transformation stage!
Xia Daoming's flesh and blood were cracked, the golden shadow of the ancestral dragon was about to collapse, and his internal organs seemed to be being melted and reborn!
Just as the eightieth bolt of tribulation lightning struck him, he sat cross-legged and ceased his resistance.

He allowed the thunder and fire to descend—yet with his supreme physical body, he drew the lightning into his body, refining his bones and melting his soul, tempering himself!

Eighty Tribulations, Body Refinement!

Eighty-one tribulations, refining the spirit!

Rumble——! !

The final bolt of heavenly tribulation lightning struck down like a collapsing divine pillar, piercing through heaven and earth and illuminating the entire sea as if it were daytime.

Xia Daoming, however, sat quietly beneath the lightning pillar, eyes closed and mind focused, just like an emperor receiving a title!
The clouds of calamity finally dispersed.

Golden light burst through the thunderclouds!

The sea water recedes and all the thunder is silent.

Xia Daoming slowly opened his eyes, the golden flames of the Ancestral Dragon flowing endlessly deep within his pupils. He stood up, stretched out his right hand, and reached out with one claw to the sky, piercing through the void!

—A patch of thunder, fire, and lingering clouds churned and struggled, yet could not escape.

Snapped!
He forcefully extracted that extremely concentrated burst of thunder and fire power from the clouds!

In his palm, a Heavenly Tribulation Crystal, a fusion of thunder and fire, suddenly appeared, radiating an indescribable essence of Dao!

In his palm, a Heavenly Tribulation Crystal, a fusion of lightning and fire, suddenly appeared. Lightning crackled around it, flames surged, and it shone with an indescribable essence of Dao, as if it contained the secrets of the beginning of heaven and earth.

Xia Daoming didn't examine it closely, but knowing its value, he pressed it into his chest with a single palm.

This Heavenly Tribulation Crystal is unlike any before. It is a unique tribulation crystal evolved from the fusion of the Divine Weapon Tribulation and the Nine-Nine Transformation God Tribulation, integrating the thunder and fire of heaven and earth, the laws of order, and the return of all things to their origin, making it mysterious and unpredictable.

Just now, the final tribulation lightning and fire strike, like a pillar of heaven collapsing, pierced through the heavens and earth, almost piercing through Xia Daoming's two profound pivots of man and earth, and even shaking the forbidden domain deep within his body that had not yet been opened.

In that instant, he nearly died and his cultivation was completely destroyed.

But just as he grasped this exotic tribulation crystal, an intuition from the Heavenly Dao surfaced in his mind. That "just one step away" from breaking through to the next realm was precisely because it was missing!
This is the key point.

The Heavenly Tribulation Crystal entered his body and went straight into the Crimson Palace.

The boundless sea of ​​blood surged violently, creating towering waves. Rolling blood and qi surged forth like tidal waves, surging out together with the Yellow Court True Essence. They flowed into the Crimson Palace through the Human-Earth Profound Pivot, transforming into the fire of the furnace, determined to completely melt the Heavenly Evolution Tribulation Crystal.

After an unknown amount of time, the Heavenly Tribulation Crystal finally began to slowly melt.

Suddenly, a deafening roar, like a mountain collapsing and a tsunami, erupted—

"boom!!"

A terrifying surge of lightning and fire erupted like a torrent, roaring and surging within his body, violently colliding with his blood and true essence, all rushing towards the sealed, mysterious area! "Crack crack crack!"

The sounds of breaking and shattering seemed to come from the ancient past, and also seemed to resound at the pinnacle of the soul.

A mysterious power emanated from between the eyebrows of the Niwan Palace, transforming into golden radiance, like a divine waterfall cascading down from the heavens, flowing slowly downwards.

The gentle glow of the sunset, like a mother's hand, lightly caressed the five divine soldiers and the mysterious bird eggs in the nest, then flowed into the Yellow Court, brushed over the primordial spirit, and finally merged into the depths of the Crimson Palace.

Xia Daoming felt a tremor in his heart, experiencing a tranquility and fulfillment he had never felt before, as if an infant had returned to its mother's embrace, finding peace of mind and soul.

A sense of enlightenment welled up in my heart:
—The Purple Palace opens.

At the summit of the Crimson Palace, a mysterious place, like a celestial paradise, appears. A few wisps of purple energy swirl and rise, though few in number, they contain unspeakable power and mystery.

Just as he was gazing intently, he suddenly heard a soft "click".

Within the bird's nest, crimson flames burst forth. The eggshell shattered, pieces falling and transforming into streaks of pure flame that seeped into the paulownia tree.

In the glow of the sunset, a towering male figure slowly emerged from the flames.

He was clad in a fiery golden robe, with a crimson-gold divine mark between his brows resembling the first opening of a phoenix eye. His pupils were like the blazing sun and stars, and nine phantom images of fiery wings appeared behind him, his phoenix cry reverberating through the void.

Its aura is sacred and solemn, like the rising sun soaring into the sky, or like the phoenix lord returning from nirvana, burning away all worldly delusions and reborn in all directions.

He bowed deeply to Xia Daoming and said in a deep, resonant voice, "True Lord Yihuang greets Your Majesty."

Xia Daoming was shaken to his core, then burst into loud laughter: "Well done, True Monarch Yihuang! Well done! Return to your rightful place!"

With the divine weapons returned to their rightful place, the energy of heaven and earth stabilized.

But before they could even breathe a sigh of relief, a strange sound came from the sky.

At the horizon where the sea meets the sky, golden ripples spread out, as if the sky and water were reversed.

A celestial being, clad in a golden robe adorned with stars and bearing a talisman on his forehead, emerged from the golden ripples, first his upper body, then his entire body.

The immortal's eyes gleamed with golden light, and with a hint of doubt, he scanned downwards.

Below, Xia Daoming suddenly felt a tightness all over his body, his heart skipped a beat, and he looked up sharply.

Upon seeing the immortal, a sense of foreboding arose in his heart, and he was about to completely suppress the holy fire aura emanating from the Yihuang Zhenjun when it entered his chest.

Unfortunately, it was still too late.

The immortal not only saw Xia Daoming, but also the crimson tail flame that was disappearing into his chest, and felt the wondrous power of rebirth emanating from that flame.

A hint of surprise and greed flashed in the immortal's eyes, but it quickly turned into rage.

"I am a patrol officer of the Heavenly Court. What kind of monster are you, daring to descend to the mortal realm and cause trouble? Immediately come with me back to the Heavenly Court for trial!"

The patrol officer roared with authority, exuding an aura of righteous indignation and emanating a powerful presence.

As the patrolling general roared in anger, the power of immortality suddenly descended.

A lightning-patterned immortal chain pierced through the air, its surface covered with immortal runes, capable of locking the soul, suppressing the acupoints, sealing the heavens and forbidding the earth, and heading straight for Xia Daoming's neck.

At the same time, the patrol officer held a token, pointed it upwards, and the golden rippled gate that had just appeared quickly closed, and the Heavenly Dao returned to oneness.

　That concludes today's update.
