Infinity, starting from eternity

Chapter 537 The Great Calamity of Saint-Rank! Heavenly Sovereign Pill Phoenix! Internal Strife in the Heavenly Court!

"impossible!"

"That is!"

Dark clouds loomed overhead, and some old monsters from the celestial realm stared into the depths of the great calamity of the sacred immortal artifacts, their eyes nearly popping out of their sockets.

Miao Li Tianjun! The supreme king of the barbarian tribe, the highest being who has been promoted to Tianjun in this era, was like a pheasant waiting to be slaughtered, with a huge hand grabbing his throat and seizing and refining all the essence of the Tianjun.

This process was accompanied by Miao Li Tianjun's fear, curses, and resentment, but it did nothing to stop Li Ping'an's actions.

"The Seven Treasures of the Celestial Phoenix!"

Many ancient monsters from the celestial realm were shaken, as if they remembered something. "Many eras ago, the Primordial Phoenix and the Primordial Ancestral Dragon fought a great war that affected all realms, vying for the dominance of that era. It was known as the Dragon-Phoenix Calamity!"

"The final outcome is unknown, with both sides winning and losing, but the two races became enemies. Until the Creation Phoenix passed away, the Primordial Ancestral Dragon and a group of Immortal Kings disappeared, and the most ancient Heavenly Phoenix Sacred Artifact failed to break through eleven eras and was severely injured and dying, the Dragon Clan launched a war to exterminate the Phoenix Clan!"

"In that battle, the gods, demons, barbarians, beastmen, and monsters all joined the fight! Seven phoenixes fell, and the phoenix tree broke!"

The name of the Wutong Realm comes from the Wutong Tree of the Great Dao, a companion of the Creation Immortal Phoenix. It is an unparalleled spiritual root that is almost a divine artifact of creation. After it broke, it instinctively fell into an endless abyss and became a legend.

"In this era, refining the Seven Treasures of the Immortal Phoenix is ​​one of the taboos of the Dragon Clan. Anyone who attempts to refine it in the myriad realms will be hunted down!"

"It has been a long time since such a thing has happened. The only one who has truly achieved this is that one in the lower realm!"

“Lord of Xuanhuang!” an old monster from the celestial realm spoke. He was a Heavenly Monarch, separated by countless dimensions of time and space, and was presiding over another world. His eyes flickered, and it was unknown what he was thinking.

"The Xuanhuang Great World! The oldest and most powerful world among all the heavens, ranked first among the three thousand great worlds, second only to the Heavenly Realm!"

Many Heavenly Lords sensed the changes in the Heavenly Secrets. Beings like them could calculate all the changes in the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth. Compared to the Supreme Immortals, they were far more powerful, essentially beings from two different dimensions.

Li Ping'an arrived without any concealment, and even killed Miao Li Tianjun, using his corpse to forge a sacred-grade immortal artifact, thus announcing his arrival.

"Hmph! He offended the Heavenly Court and killed the barbarian king." The Lord of Tang Realm sneered, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes. "Does he think that once he's in the Heavenly Realm, he's still a small lower realm? He'll face his tribulation sooner or later!"

This Lord of the Tang Realm is a veteran Heavenly Monarch. He once made a move during the great calamity of Li Ping'an and Fang Han's divine clans, when they opened the cycle of reincarnation, attempting to seize the Wheel of Reincarnation, a divine artifact of the heavens. However, he was nearly beaten to a pulp by the Twilight of the Gods, a move from the Holy King of the End.

Even now, his injuries have not yet healed, and he is hiding in the Tang Realm, afraid to come out.

Naturally, the people of the Xuanhuang Great World harbored resentment towards them, with Li Ping'an and Fang Han being the first to be targeted. One was known as the Lord of Xuanhuang, and the other as the Lord of Reincarnation.

Fang Han ascended to the Heavenly Realm, changed his appearance, and several years have passed in the Heavenly Realm, but he has not yet officially appeared before the many major powers of the Heavenly Realm.

Now, Li Ping'an made no attempt to hide his intentions and stepped forward directly, even leading a large number of outsiders in, which immediately attracted the attention of many powerful forces and Heavenly Lords.

"Boom!"

The Dao sound reverberated, the world turned pitch black, and the atmosphere became heavy. Li Ping'an noticed the gazes of many powerful beings, but he paid no attention to them.

"Even the power of the Heavenly Emperor must submit to me!"

"In the name of destiny, the Heavenly Monarch's essence merges into the Phoenix Cauldron!"

The Heavenly Lords are practically immortal and eternal beings. Even the Great Chaos Annihilation could not destroy them. Only the mysterious Gate of Immortality could end their lifespan.

Refining it is incredibly difficult.

But at this moment, with Li Ping'an speaking, it was so simple.

The power of the Lesser Destiny Technique is unfathomable. Miao Li Tianjun's head instantly disintegrated, and a pure and pristine essence of the Great Dao emerged, falling into the Danhuang Treasure Cauldron.

With a clang, the lid of the Phoenix Cauldron closed, and countless, densely packed crystal kingdoms appeared on the main body of the magic weapon, from which an aura transcending heaven and earth was brewing.

"coming!"

Li Ping'an roared, and in just a moment, boundless dark clouds covered the Northern Wilderness Continent, and countless thunderbolts and auras of calamity erupted, completely isolating the inside from the outside.

Even the supreme ruler of heaven would find it difficult to observe.

Even those who had experienced the Heavenly Emperor's Tribulation did not wish to be tainted by that aura of calamity.

The Great Tribulation of Sacred Immortal Artifacts is no less powerful than the Great Tribulation of Heavenly Monarchs; the uniqueness of the magical treasures of the Eternal World is unimaginable in other worlds.

Rather than refining a sacred-grade immortal artifact, it's more accurate to say that he created another Heavenly Monarch!
Once a sacred-grade immortal artifact, or a magical treasure, has reached the Heavenly Monarch realm, it will naturally face trials and the challenges posed by the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth!

"I'm going, Master!"

Dan Yao stepped out, her eyes bright, seemingly transcending the world, yet also seemingly in harmony with the great Dao of Heaven and Earth, possessing a flawless aura.

Holding the Phoenix Cauldron in her hands, she ascended like a flying goddess, bathing in the tribulations of the Saint-grade Great Calamity. The endless tribulations transformed into wisps of black smoke and mist, swarming towards her like living insects.

These are all filth in the world, attempting to pollute her and cause the Phoenix Cauldron to fall.

"To transcend heaven and earth is to confront the great Dao of heaven and earth directly. All causes and effects, all calamities, will fall upon you! This is no longer a test, but annihilation!"

"Heaven and earth will not allow anything to transcend Him! To break free from His control!"

As the owner of the magical artifact, Li Ping'an could almost fully sense the calamity that Dan Yao was facing at this moment, which was an extreme sense of rejection and disgust.

Even when the spirit of the Gate of Immortality breaks through, the danger of the Heavenly Monarch's Tribulation remains the same, unchanged.

The same applies to the great calamity of sacred immortal artifacts. It is not any easier just because Dan Yao is a magic treasure. Countless filthy energies of heaven and earth transform into insects and living creatures, and countless demons and demon gods rush over.

A single thread can cause a supreme immortal emperor, a being of the same lifespan as heaven and earth, to fall into depravity, completely lose all magical power, have their primordial spirit corrupted, and become a demon.

Many demons were originally supreme immortal emperors who perished in the Heavenly Emperor's Great Calamity, unable to escape their fate for all eternity, becoming the nightmare of those who came after them. This is the most vicious punishment Heaven and Earth inflicts on those who try to transcend His control!
And this was just the beginning. Countless Xuanhuang blood thunderbolts and annihilating wind disasters fell, and all kinds of calamities seemed to have no end. In fact, new calamities were constantly being generated. Endless calamities, endless difficulties!
This calamity involving a sacred immortal artifact, like the calamity of a Heavenly Monarch, had no intention of leaving her a way out.

"The fire of Nirvana! Everlasting! Eternal! Transcending all suffering! Bringing purity and peace!"

Faced with countless calamities, Dan Yao remained unusually calm. Instead of seeking her master's help, she softly recited the Nirvana Heart Sutra. Countless flames of Nirvana rose, bringing purity and peace, leading to liberation in the Great Dao, and even redeeming those demons.

This is a supreme state of being, where inner peace resolves calamities.

Clearly, these were all the gains Dan Yao had made while following Li Ping'an, including not only the realm of oneness with heaven and earth but also the power of the mind. Now, using them was truly invincible; even a calamity involving a sacred-grade immortal artifact couldn't harm her.

Waaaaah, waaaah...

The wailing and howling of ghosts and gods resounded once again. In the sky, countless dark, heavy, molten iron-like clouds appeared, along with countless human faces and even countless phoenixes with broken wings and severed heads, exuding an aura of resentment and venom.

After overcoming one calamity after another, new calamities arose.

"Karmic Calamity!"

Li Ping'an's gaze finally turned serious.

The great calamity before the Heavenly Monarch was merely an appetizer. Even so, it caused countless geniuses, as numerous as the sands of the Ganges, to attempt to become Heavenly Monarchs and die tragically.

Various karmic tribulations, fortune tribulations, and karmic tribulations... these great tribulations are truly terrifying. If people want to transcend heaven and earth, they must resolve karmic entanglements, break free from fate, and get rid of all karmic entanglements.

Because Heavenly Lords and Saint-grade Immortal Artifacts transcend heaven and earth and are not bound by any cause and effect, fate, or destiny, they only have to face themselves.

Dan Yao has existed since the ancient times and has experienced too many things. She also owes the Immortal Phoenix Clan, who created her in the ancient times, a debt of karma. Now she must face this, which may even shake her foundation.

"Dan Yao was not created by anyone, but rather through a series of coincidences that brought her into my life and made her come to my side!"

"If there is cause and effect, then all kinds of cause and effect will befall me!"

Dan Yao sat there, trapped in her calamity, unable to extricate herself. At this moment, Li Ping'an intervened. He could sense the various thoughts flowing through Dan Yao's mind. He gently blew out a breath, reversing fate, and resurrected the ancient Phoenix Clan member.

She was a beautiful woman in a colorful phoenix robe, looking somewhat bewildered. She was then taken into Li Ping'an's cave and treated with great hospitality.

Li Ping'an will redeem not only this Immortal Phoenix Clan, but also the Wutong Realm; this was his promise.

This commitment will not be shaken by anything, and even if the heavens are destroyed, nothing can change it!

“Master!” Dan Yao was deeply moved and a faint smile appeared on her face. She was truly free and no longer bound by cause and effect.

"Hold your breath and concentrate! Reach the unity of heaven and earth!" Li Ping'an shouted. With one treasure and one master, the two people's minds were completely united, like the two sides of a Tai Chi diagram. The yin and yang of the Great Dao returned to oneness, and a sense of great freedom and transcendence arose spontaneously.

Fate itself leaves no way to transcend it; the only way to transcend it is by oneself.

To break free from the constraints of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, and to face these calamities, we can only sever ties and erase cause and effect, not retreat!
Boom!

An astonishing aura erupted, transcending heaven and earth, transcending the Great Dao! Even thousands of continents away, within the Heavenly Court of Creation, it could be felt that a Saint-grade Immortal Artifact had been born!
It could also be described as a Heavenly Monarch breaking through!
"Brother Li?!"

In a secret realm, Fang Han suddenly looked up and sensed a familiar aura, as well as an even more unfathomable spiritual will and a flawless mental will.

"Holy crap, the Primordial Ancestral Dragon!"

Yan flew out of his crystal kingdom, his expression shaken. "I can sense the aura of a sacred immortal artifact, which seems to be connected to us by cause and effect, and can be transmitted even across countless times and spaces."

"The Phoenix Cauldron!"

Fang Han uttered four words, a smile appearing on his face. The Danhuang Treasure Cauldron was to Brother Li what the Yellow Springs Map was to him. Although its power might not be the strongest magic weapon he had now, it still carried a deep affection.

If conditions permit, he will also help the Dragon Subduing Yellow Springs Diagram break through to become a Saint-grade Immortal Artifact.

Fang Han was even willing to repay the Yellow Springs Emperor, but unfortunately, after ascending to the Heavenly Realm, the various events that circulated in the Heavenly Court seemed to foreshadow the true demise of that senior.

"The Crimson Trial is over, and the decisive battle between the holy sons of the Heavenly Court's 100,000 continents is about to begin."

Fang Han remained calm and composed, saying, "I can sense that the day I meet Brother Li is fast approaching."

"Excellent! Excellent!" Yan shouted excitedly, "If Li Ping'an really manages to forge a Saint-grade Immortal Artifact, then his cultivation level will probably reach an unimaginable level, beyond anyone's comprehension! He can turn his hand to create clouds and rain!"

"When the two of you join forces, you'll be able to dominate the Heavenly Realm and take control of the Heavenly Court without any problem!"

"Thunder Emperor, Heavenly Lord, and otherworldly lord—they all kneel before you and submit completely! Anyone who dares to disobey will be annihilated!"

Fang Han stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes flashing with endless information, as if he had deduced the entire future. "That day will come. Before that, I must break through to the Heavenly Monarch realm as soon as possible, otherwise I will not be able to participate in this grand scheme!"

The Eternal Heavenly Lord and the Slaughter Heavenly Lord have reached some kind of agreement with the Chaos Heavenly Lord to take action during the Heavenly War.

Fang Han had long been involved and couldn't extricate himself; in fact, he had done so willingly because his greatest enemy was also lurking within the Heavenly Court and had not yet appeared!
"Fang Han!"

Deep within the Hundred Thousand Continents, the patriarch of the Huangfu family, the reincarnation of the Saint-grade Immortal Artifact, the Other Shore Heavenly Lord, frowned, "That guy really succeeded! How is a Saint-grade Immortal Artifact possible!"

"Just a lowly servant girl!" Huangfu Bi'an was furious. He had gone through countless hardships and struggles to cultivate a Saint-grade Immortal Artifact before he was lucky enough to survive the great calamity.

Now, a mere lowly lower-level magic weapon is on equal footing with him—how can this be tolerated!
"No, we have to get an explanation from that guy Fang Han!"

Huangfu Bi'an moved and disappeared instantly. He was going to find him. He believed half of the other party's claim that he was the reincarnation of the Gate of Immortality. The other half was a matter of opinion, but he was willing to do anything as long as he was given benefits.

The other party specified one or two things, and Huangfu Bi'an obtained the remains of several sacred-grade immortal artifacts. He refined them into his body, which caused his cultivation to surge by an era. Only then was Huangfu Bi'an willing to work for him.

Otherwise, how could the Heavenly Emperor possibly obey orders?

But the other side's schemes don't stop there; they even have plans to take over the Heavenly Court and seize the treasures of the Creation Immortal King.

It's impossible for Huangfu Bi'an, who occupies ten thousand continents, not to have any desire to interfere with the Heavenly Court of Creation.

The same goes for the War King Heavenly Lord, except that they are both opposition Heavenly Lords, and they are not as powerful as the Thunder Emperor Heavenly Lord, who is one of the five Heavenly Lords who govern the Creation Heavenly Court.

However, even this renowned Thunder Emperor Heavenly Lord has recently felt uneasy.

The Chaotic Heavenly Lord who once betrayed the Heavenly Court has now returned!
What's even more ironic is that the ancient Heavenly Lords who used to reject and hunt him down, and expel him from the Heavenly Court, are now all silent, and even allow him to return to rule the Heavenly Court.

"ridiculous!"

Deep within the Divine Prison, the Thunder Emperor Heavenly Lord spoke with an icy expression: "He's back, so what am I then!"

"What kind of bullshit Five Heavenly Lords are you! None of you will escape! I am the true master of Heaven!"
