Infinity, starting from eternity

Chapter 543 Deducing the Primordial Divine Array, the Primordial Palace is Born!

Not only was Li Ping'an cultivating in seclusion, but the five Heavenly Lords were also digesting the gains from the divine imprints.

The supreme mark of the gods, the divine artifact of the supreme ruler who controls all the gods, even contains the imprint of the chief god and the supreme god. Although what Li Ping'an has is just a fake created by the chief god space, its profound meaning is not diminished in the slightest.

The blessings bestowed upon them by Li Ping'an contained a trace of the profound mysteries of the supreme god. This is why the Calamity Heavenly Lord and the Chaos Heavenly Lord were so devout, because they truly saw the possibility of becoming an Immortal King in it.

Ordinary celestial beings have absolutely no chance of becoming immortal kings; they only have a lifespan of ten epochs.

To become a Celestial King, one needs at least twenty epochs of cultivation. Lifespan is simply not enough to accumulate such terrifying cultivation. One must find other methods, such as devouring and plundering divine objects, refining ancient scripts, or even seeking the initiation of a Celestial King.

The profound meaning bestowed by the marks of the gods is another possibility, allowing them to comprehend a different kind of thinking comparable to that of immortal kings. This is an unparalleled opportunity, and their cultivation level increased significantly in an instant, allowing them to deduce the ultimate of their own Great Dao and see the path ahead.

How could they not be convinced by Li Ping'an? This was an opportunity that no immortal king could bestow upon them.

"Excellent! No wonder Li Ping'an's cultivation has increased so rapidly. He comprehends the mysteries of the gods day and night, which is equivalent to countless Heavenly Lords and Immortal Kings imparting the Dharma to him. It is only natural that he has achieved such great success."

Chaos Lord was amazed. He had gained Li Ping'an's favor and not only obtained the illusory mysteries of chaotic gods and evil gods, but also a trace of the insights of the Lord of Civilization. Chaos is the opposite of order, and order comes from civilization!

The Lord of Civilization is the chief god of the Primordial God Realm, and the minister under His command. His path of civilization can be said to surpass the Great Dao of the Immortal King. Even a trace of it greatly inspired the Chaos Heavenly Lord, who learned how to create even greater chaos to descend upon civilization.

Countless inspirations surged into his mind, causing his cultivation to soar. With a tremor, he actually broke through to the cultivation level of nine eras.

A terrifying aura permeated the entire Heavenly Court. Divine runes appeared on the Chaotic Path, revealing the mysteries of the gods. Chaotic Heavenly Lord took a deep breath, never expecting to break through so easily.

"There is still much divine wisdom and divine mystery that I cannot comprehend. Once I have fully digested it, advancing to the next ten eras will be a piece of cake. Indeed, what the Ending Saint King told me was true."

"The Mark of the Gods was created by beings that surpassed even the Immortal Kings and were even above the Supreme Shattered Ones."

Chaos Lord sighed, realizing that his long-standing bottleneck seemed so insignificant in the face of the brilliance of the Gods' Mark, and shattered with a mere flick of his wrist.

They did not acquire any divine-level qigong, as the marks of the gods were incomplete, only one-third of them. However, that bit of divine wisdom, the profound mysteries of the fleeting phantoms of the chief god and the supreme god, was enough to give the Heavenly Monarch an epiphany and allow him to break through.

The other five Heavenly Lords were the same; at the very least, their cultivation increased by one era, and some even by two eras.

To put it bluntly, their realm had already reached its limit in the past, and they were only missing a spark of inspiration and enlightenment. The Mark of the Gods gave them that opportunity, and they achieved a leap forward in an instant.

But things won't be so easy from now on. All the accumulated resources have been released, and any further breakthroughs will require massive amounts of resources.

This is also the fundamental principle of the world of immortality. Simple wisdom and enlightenment are not enough; resources are also needed. Mortals consume elixirs, and even celestial lords must refine immortal king elixirs and absorb the energy of immortality in order to break through their realms.

"The realm of gods... I can't even imagine what kind of world it is! A great civilization that surpasses even the heavens! It's something to behold!"

The Eternal Heavenly Lord finished his practice and said quietly.

The brilliance of the gods made even a celestial ruler like himself feel insignificant. The gods' lifespans were eternal, and he even suspected that the divine realm was the world beyond the gate to immortality.

"The realm of gods is powerful, but the Gate to Immortality is no weakling either!"

"We are the weak ones." Chaos Heavenly Lord shook his head, the scene of the Great Chaos Annihilation flashing through his mind, the Gate of Immortality spewing forth myriad worlds and countless divine objects.

To the gods, they are pitifully weak, but to the Gate of Immortality, aren't they just insignificant specks of dust?

Both are equally great!

"One day, perhaps we too can enter the realm of gods!" The Slaughtering Heavenly Lord was somewhat excited and thrilled. "He was able to lead a large number of people into the Gate of Immortality, something that has never happened before. If he can bring those people in, can he also bring us out?!"

"Following Li Ping'an, I can indeed see a wider sky!"

Such a thing never happened in the ancient world of immortality.

There are only a few reincarnators who can enter. How could such a scene, like an army, appear? The other party must have control over the methods of entry and exit. Killing Heavenly Lord is certain of this.

It should be noted that he not only accepted Shi Yan, the protagonist of the God of Slaughter world, as his disciple, but also accepted many reincarnators at the level of Great Luo Golden Immortal, Yuan Immortal, and Saint Immortal in the Heavenly Realm.

It was because of them that he vaguely observed a glimpse of the outside world, his mind suddenly opened up, and he realized that he had chosen to support Chaotic Heavenly Lord and Li Ping'an.

"A wider sky!" A hint of longing flashed in the eyes of the Calamity Heavenly Lord and the Chaos Heavenly Lord.

It is said that the trilogy's world clusters are breeding grounds for venomous creatures, but isn't the world of immortality the same? Even omnipotent beings like the Immortal King are limited by their lifespan, and so are the Heavenly Monarchs. How could they not yearn for the freedom and eternity of the outside world?

Even a minor ten-star being, or an ordinary celestial being, is hailed as being at the level of a single universe, eternally undefeated.

These Heavenly Lords, beings at the fifteen-star level, are all innate Great Luo Immortals who have attained the Dao of Innate Realm. Even the fall of all heavens and countless eons could not harm them in the slightest, so why would they worry about their lifespan?

"It's good that you understand." The Eternal Heavenly Lord looked at them and smiled calmly.

He knew that now, chaos and disaster had completely surrendered.

Just as the five Heavenly Sovereigns were exchanging words, a vast aura emanated from the Heavenly Treasury, like a rising sun, perfect and boundless, seemingly brewing something terrifying in its deepest depths.
"what happened!"

Chaos Heavenly Lord looked over and was shaken. He sensed an extremely deep threat within it, almost matching his own cultivation level.

What breakthrough has Li Ping'an achieved this time?

"How is this possible? In such a short time!" Calamity Lord exclaimed, his eyes flashing with horror. How long had it been since he had faced Li Ping'an head-on?

He could only watch helplessly as Li Ping'an broke through step by step, from being inferior to him and having to rely on the mysterious power in the Gate of Infinity, to his will transforming to be on par with him, and now completely surpassing him!
He couldn't fathom what that aura of the Great Dao was at all.

All that could be seen was a gigantic and magnificent divine image! Covering the entire universe and enveloping everything!
That's a formation!

The Tai Su Divine Array deduced by Li Ping'an!
"The Primordial Divine Array encompasses everything! All paths converge, and the ocean embraces all rivers!" Li Ping'an sat cross-legged deep within the Heavenly Treasury, at the center of the vast and majestic divine array, as if it were the center of the universe, the core of the evolution of all realms, and the ultimate destination.

Eighty-one supreme divine cities rose and fell around him, like eighty-one nodes of the Great Dao. Terrifying auras permeated the air, belonging to Saint-grade Immortal Artifacts. Continuous rumbling sounds rang out as divine cities were upgraded to Saint-grade Immortal Artifacts.

Above the Heavenly Court, terrifying tribulation clouds began to appear. The heavens were enraged, the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth was furious, and all the heavens and myriad realms trembled.

Upgrading a sacred-grade immortal artifact is already defying the laws of heaven and earth.

How many are there right now?

A total of twenty-four! Twenty-four Supreme Divine Cities are attempting to advance to Saint-grade Immortal Artifacts, striving to break through to the Heavenly Monarch realm and transcend the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth. This is not merely defiance, but utter contempt, a blatant insult to the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, a desire to trample and ravage it underfoot—a blatant disregard for the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.

"Well done!"

Li Ping'an sat cross-legged within the Tai Su Divine Array, opened his eyes, and terrifying divine light pierced through the tribulation clouds of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, reaching the deepest part.

The countless demons and gods formed from the filth were utterly powerless to resist; as the divine light swept over them, they all vanished into nothingness.

Before Li Ping'an could even move, the edge of the Tai Su Divine Array, combined with the power of the Nine-Nine Supreme Divine City's advancement to a Saint-grade Immortal Artifact, instantly devoured everything, including the Xuanhuang Blood Thunder, the Great Dao Fire, the Annihilation Wind, and the Boundless Calamity Soil.

Even the calamities of cause and effect, karma, non-birth, karmic conditions, and destiny—those calamities that even the Heavenly Emperor feared—were like a gentle breeze, utterly ineffective against him.

"Boom!"

The Great Dao of Heaven and Earth was enraged, almost to the point of madness. Terrifying tribulation lightning filled the sky, spreading out with the power to destroy everything and completely shatter the 100,000 continents of the Heavenly Court into fragments.

"What kind of Great Dao is this? What kind of formation is this?! It's so terrifying that even the Great Calamity of a Saint-grade Immortal Artifact couldn't harm it?!"

The Heavenly Lord of Disaster was almost dumbfounded. Twenty-four sacred immortal artifacts had advanced. Even though he was the embodiment of the Great Dao of Disaster and controlled all calamities, he simply could not withstand it and would be cleaved into dust.

Refining the Thirty-Three Heavens' Creation Treasures requires the combined efforts of the Five Heavenly Sovereigns and the assistance of the power of the Bottomless Abyss.

The twenty-four supreme divine cities, though fewer in number and less powerful, are still not something a single Heavenly Lord can contend with.

"No, this aura doesn't just belong to the Nine-Nine Supreme Divine City, it also belongs to other magical treasures!"

"It encompasses all the heavens, all the great Daos, and the marks of the gods!" The Eternal Heavenly Lord's body trembled, his eyes filled with utter horror, almost to the point of madness. How exactly was that divine array constructed?

Not only the Nine-Nine Supreme Divine City, but also the Pill Phoenix Cauldron, the Seven Treasures of the Immortal Phoenix, the Marks of the Gods, the Gate of Infinity, and the Map of the Myriad Realms appeared one after another, forming connections like countless threads, enveloped by the Primordial Divine Array, brewing an even greater aura.

Without uttering a word, the Chaotic Heavenly Lord unleashed countless Heavenly Lord divine powers, instantly transforming into billions of supreme immortals, forming a great array like stars in the sky, protecting the Heavenly Court and the ten thousand continents.

Otherwise, once it erupts, everything will vanish into thin air.

The other four Heavenly Lords also quickly took action, but their eyes never left the Tai Su Divine Formation, attempting to see through its mysteries.

However, all of this was in vain. The great calamity of the sacred immortal artifact could not affect it at all. It was completely enveloped by the Tai Su Divine Array. Even the bricks and tiles of the Heavenly Court did not shake at all, and the beautiful landscape remained calm and undisturbed.

The Great Dao of Heaven and Earth was enraged, and countless calamities evolved more and more violently, like a rampaging bull charging in all directions.

Unfortunately, they could not escape the inescapable net of the Tai Su Divine Array.

"Tai Su was the beginning of substance, before it had taken shape!"

"The Great Simplicity is the beginning of all things, which has taken shape and acquired substance, but has not yet formed a complete body!"

"This is an evolutionary process, a dynamic change. Things move forward, constantly innovating and condensing into a physical entity, which is the divine array, the general principle of all changes in arrays!"

Li Ping'an said leisurely, "I have finally deduced the Dao of Tai Su, using an array as a carrier."

Of course, he also referenced some of Fang Han's process of opening up the Epoch Path and creating the Epoch God Array, which perfectly absorbed and contained everything he was doing at this moment.

One can see that his body is tall and majestic, the Five Primordial Daos are in operation, and countless magical treasures rumble like a torrent, sweeping across the heavens and earth, evolving into countless changes: eras, civilizations, the other shore, order, slaughter, eternity... countless Daos have their carriers appearing.

Whether ethereal or tangible, they are bizarre and all-encompassing.

These are not false. If Li Ping'an's strength continues to grow, the things and phantoms that appear in the Tai Su Divine Array will also transform into magical treasures, or innate gods and demons who wield the Great Dao. All truth and falsehood are just a matter of his thought.

"The Great Yi Divine Palm, the Primordial Divine Chapter, the Primordial Divine Sword, the Primordial Divine Array... What will be the next one?"

A thought flashed through Li Ping'an's mind as he controlled the Tai Su Divine Array, grinding away at the great calamity of the sacred immortal artifacts that had been triggered, proceeding slowly and steadily.

These tribulations were also a source of strength, increasing his cultivation.

The Mark of the Gods, the Gate of Infinity, and the Map of the King of Myriad Realms—the three great magical treasures—were also glowing. Although they had not been completely integrated into the Primordial Divine Array, they were still intricately connected, radiating bursts of great power that nourished his body.

The Tai Su Divine Array continues to expand, and sooner or later it will be able to swallow all the magical treasures in one go. At that time, Li Ping'an's cultivation level will be unimaginable.

He created the Tai Su Divine Array because he had too many magical treasures and wanted to integrate them completely, so that everything would be merged into one, reducing the burden.

Of course, it is only in its initial stage now, and even the incarnations of the Three Pure Ones have not yet been integrated into it, so it cannot be considered truly perfect.

"Right now, I should be comparable to a Heavenly Monarch with the cultivation of seven or eight eras!" Li Ping'an estimated, this was based solely on the power of his physical body.

The Twenty-Four Sacred Grade Supreme Divine Cities, along with the Phoenix Cauldron, are naturally integrated into it, which is why it possesses such terrifying cultivation.

Although it's less than ten eras, this is already quite exaggerated. If it were told, probably no one would believe it, and it would make those ancient celestial rulers who have accumulated countless years feel quite ashamed.

It should be noted that when Li Ping'an first returned to the Eternal World, although he surpassed the Heavenly Lord and could directly clash with the Heavenly Monarch, he was at most at the level of the Miao Li Heavenly Monarch, barely breaking through the cultivation of one or two eras.

Even to kill the opponent, one must use the power of the spiritual treasure incarnation and rely on the blessing of the world-class Hunyuan original.

After that, he used war to sustain himself, refined Miao Li Tianjun, and upgraded the Danhuang Treasure Cauldron to the Saint grade. The feedback from the Great Dao made his strength reach a new level. Under the siege of the Calamity Tianjun and the Blade of Redemption, he broke through the peak of the terrifying level of will.

Only after fully absorbing the Heavenly Court's resources and creating the Tai Su Divine Array did he achieve his current level of cultivation.

"My strength is sufficient. It's time to sweep through the Heavenly Realm and deal with those clowns."

Li Ping'an looked around and saw through countless planes and vast spaces. He could see all the otherworldly realms hidden in the shadows of the Heavenly Realm, and the figures of the Heavenly Monarchs were reflected in his eyes.

Finally, his gaze settled on an ancient ruin, where countless purple currents, seemingly both clear and turbid, surged and swirled, like the primordial chaos before the creation of the world, and within them floated an extremely magnificent palace.

"Boom!"

A great battle seems to be taking place there, with celestial rulers descending one after another!
