Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin: I Set Taboos in the Heavens

After leaving Hongli Heaven, Fang Qing did not immediately go to the Brahma Immortal Realm; he planned to return to the Taihuang Heaven Immortal Realm.

He returned silently along the secret path, avoiding any possible eyes and ears or detection along the way.

When he passed through the defensive formation surrounding the Taihuangtian again and felt the familiar aura of immortal energy carrying the clear light of the azure sky, he felt a sense of peace in his heart.

He returned directly to the deepest part of the Holy Emperor's Palace, to the Azure Heaven where he and Biluo cultivated together.

Biluo was sitting upright on a jade cloud platform, surrounded by pure energy, clearly also cultivating.

Sensing the familiar presence returning, she immediately opened her beautiful eyes, which flashed with concern and joy.

"Qing, you're back!"

She stood up to greet him, carefully examining Fang Qing. "Was your trip successful?"

Fang Qing grasped her hand and smiled, "This trip went very smoothly, and I feel that the opportunity to break through to the Mythical Realm has arrived. The gains from this trip are enough for me to break through in one fell swoop!"

Upon hearing this, Biluo was first startled, then overwhelmed with immense joy.

Mythical Realm!
That was the beginning of transcending shattering and truly touching upon immortality and great power!
If one’s Daoist partner can achieve legendary status, not only will one’s personal cultivation reach the heavens and the earth, but the status of the entire Taihuang Heavenly Immortal Realm will also rise accordingly, and no one will dare to underestimate him!

"I will go into seclusion for a few days to comprehend the mystical realm, and then I will break through to the mythical realm."

Fang Qing smiled.

"Alright, I will protect you!"

Princess Biluo said happily.

In the quiet room, Fang Qing sat cross-legged in the center, with more than a thousand dark gold imperial serpent talismans floating above his head.

As if heeding the king's call, they formed an enormous Devouring Heaven Rune Array around Fang Qing's core true energy.

In the center of the rune array, a blurry figure was faintly gathering, which was a trace of the will of the ancient Devouring King!
As Fang Qing fully activated the Great Dao, the boundless power of the Devouring Heaven Origin flowed into his limbs, bones, soul, sea of ​​consciousness, and inner world like a sweet spring.

His chaotic inner world was expanding wildly, with the chaotic barriers at the edges constantly being pushed open and reinforced by the new forces, and the internal space growing exponentially.

The Five Elements Law, the Yin-Yang Law, the Spacetime Law, and so on, all became clearer. Driven by the enormous energy and with a deeper understanding of the origin, his cultivation level soared like a rocket, launching the most intense assault on the Mythical Realm.

Time loses its meaning in the quiet room.

"boom!!"

At a certain moment, it felt as if something exploded within Fang Qing's body; it was an essential sublimation and a breakthrough in dimensions.

His spirit soared to new heights, as if he had instantly broken free from the constraints of his physical body, and saw the reality of the world from a completely new perspective.

It is a vast and intricate web of existence woven from countless intricate and layered lines of laws, energy strings, causal networks, and threads of destiny.

The Shattered Realm is only active on a certain level of this network, while the Mythical Realm is about getting a preliminary glimpse of the overall structure and operating rules of this network, and even being able to try to manipulate some of the more peripheral or finer threads to generate all sorts of incredible power.

This is the first level of mythology—the voyeurism.

Just as Fang Qing's divine soul completed this crucial leap and officially stepped into the realm of divine perception, a supreme, mysterious feeling descended upon him.

It did not come from the Celestial Realm of the Thai Emperor, but from the fundamental laws of the Great Dao of all the heavens and myriad realms.

When any living being reaches a certain critical point in its understanding and control of reality and attempts to transcend to a higher level of life, it will trigger the origin of the Great Dao and bring down a mythical tribulation.

This tribulation is both a test for those who are about to ascend, weeding out the frivolous, and a baptism and gift from the Great Dao, helping them to solidify their new realm and imprint their own mythical mark.

"coming!"

The divine light in Fang Qing's eyes shone directly at the dome, piercing through layers of formations and palaces, and looking out into the vast void beyond the Heavenly Realm of the Taihuang.

Almost simultaneously, throughout the entire Taihuang Celestial Realm, no matter where they were, all beings whose cultivation had reached the Heavenly Realm or above felt a sudden, inexplicable weight on their hearts, as if a huge boulder had been placed on their backs.

An aura of immense terror, majesty, and destruction, originating from the depths of the soul, is spreading and enveloping from the void at an unimaginable speed.

The Heavenly Emperor of the Azure Heaven reacted immediately, his clear voice resounding throughout the Heavenly Court: "By order of the Heavenly Emperor! All celestial beings, immediately enter the nearest defensive formation or shelter. All armies and units, activate the highest level of defense plan, stabilize the star field, and do not move without authorization!"

The moment the order was given, the anomaly occurred.

The void above the Thai Heavenly Realm suddenly went completely dark without warning.

It wasn't the darkness of night, but the absolute, void-like darkness that devoured all light and was impenetrable even to divine sense.

In this boundless darkness, billions of lightning bolts of various colors and ferocious shapes suddenly lit up.

There were Purple Heaven Divine Thunder, Heavenly Divine Thunder, Chaos Extinction Thunder, Nine Nether Soul-Devouring Thunder, Karmic Fire Thunder... Countless terrifying thunderbolts that only existed in legends or ancient books poured down like a bursting dam of a galaxy waterfall towards the Taihuang Heavenly Immortal Realm, or more precisely, towards the direction of the Holy Emperor's Palace.

This is just the appetizer.

Within the Thunder Waterfall, countless ferocious demonic phantoms, ancient beast illusions, and distorted alien beings, all formed from pure laws of destruction, roared and howled as they pounced down alongside the lightning.

They are not physical entities, yet they are more terrifying than physical entities, carrying all kinds of negative, corrosive, cursed, and decaying laws. Wherever they pass, space rots and spiritual energy dries up, as if they want to completely erase all life!
This was none other than the legendary calamity of ten thousand demons attacking the heavens.

However, faced with this first wave of tribulation, which was enough to make ordinary beginners to mythology flustered and even seriously injured, Fang Qing simply took a step forward calmly and appeared directly outside the Taihuang Heavenly Immortal Realm, at the very bottom of the tribulation clouds!

He didn't even raise his hand; with a thought, the phantom of the "Heaven-Devouring Rune Array," which had transformed into a huge dark golden vortex, appeared above his head.

"swallow!"

A single word of truth, like the divine pronouncement of the Great Dao.

The countless bolts of lightning that poured down and the myriad demonic phantoms that rushed towards the dark golden vortex were, as if all rivers were flowing into the sea, forcibly pulled and torn apart by an irresistible force of devouring as they approached the vortex.

No matter how violent the thunder or how eerie the shadow, before the "devouring heaven" will of the Emperor Serpent Talisman's origin, they were like snowflakes thrown into a furnace, instantly melting and turning into the purest destructive energy and fragments of laws, which were greedily absorbed and digested by Fang Qing's chaotic inner world, becoming nourishment for him to stabilize his "gazing at the gods" realm.

The first wave of tribulation passed in an instant, failing to harm Fang Qing in the slightest; instead, it became his nourishment.

But how could a mythical tribulation be so simple?
The darkness in the void did not dissipate; instead, it deepened.

The calamity clouds began to churn and compress violently, their color changing from pitch black to a chilling dark red, like congealed blood.

An aura of slaughter and annihilation, sharper, purer, and more domineering than before, spread out!
"Hey!"

The dark red tribulation clouds were cleaved in two by an invisible blade, and a supreme divine sword, with an ancient shape and a hazy gray color like that of a primordial chaos, slowly emerged from the depths of the tribulation clouds. It exuded a terrifying aura that could annihilate the heavens and kill all ages.

The moment this sword was drawn, the entire space of the Taihuang Celestial Realm groaned in agony, as countless beings felt a sharp pain in their souls, as if they were about to be slain by the sword's "intention" at any moment.

"Great Extinction: Heavenly Dao Sword Qi!"

Biluo, who was observing the calamity from afar, along with several seasoned Immortal Emperors with extensive knowledge, exclaimed in shock. This was a terrifying calamity that existed only in the highest order of mythological calamities! It was rumored that this sword was the manifestation of the Great Dao's killing will, specifically designed to slay those who "defy the heavens." With a single strike, even the Heavenly Dao would retreat. Ordinary first-level mythological cultivators would die instantly upon contact, their souls and spirits annihilated.

The divine sword hovered in the air, trembling slightly.

With each tremor, endless gray sword energy bursts forth from around the sword. This sword energy is as fine as cow hair, yet it is extremely sharp. Each one contains the supreme meaning of "extinction", "slaying", and "severing the Dao".

As if they possessed life, they intertwined and traversed in the void, instantly forming a deadly sword net covering billions of miles of star field. Under the cover of the sword net, all laws, energy, and matter were suppressed and repelled by that pure "killing" intent, as if they were about to return to complete "nothingness".

"Heaven's justice will punish all; those who defy it shall perish!"

In the darkness, it seemed as if the voice of the Great Dao was echoing.

"The Sword of Annihilation? To slay the Heavenly Dao?"

Fang Qing looked up at the divine sword that made all the heavens tremble. Instead of fear, he showed a smile of interest. "Perfect. My Chaos encompasses all paths and needs this kind of extreme killing energy to temper its sharpness!"

Fang Qing let out a long roar, and the chaotic true energy around him suddenly erupted, manifesting behind him a towering, indistinct phantom of a chaotic giant. The giant opened its mouth wide, and a slow rotation appeared in its mouth, as if it were a chaotic furnace capable of melting all the heavens and myriad worlds.

At the same time, the vortex of the "Heaven-Devouring Talisman Array" above their heads shone brightly, resonating with the phantom of the Chaos Furnace. An even stronger and more domineering devouring force actively met the approaching net of deadly swords and the hazy gray divine sword suspended in the air.

"Buzz!"

The moment the Absolute Killing Sword Net came into contact with the Chaos Devouring Power, it unleashed a piercing shriek.

Countless gray sword energies frantically cut and pierced, attempting to break through the engulfing vortex.

However, the vortex seemed to have no physical form, yet it also seemed to contain the ultimate destination of all matter and energy in the world. When the sword energy slashed into it, it was like a mud ox entering the sea. Not only did it fail to break through, but it was also rapidly decomposed by the chaotic power. The pure true meaning of the laws of "extinction" and "annihilation" was stripped out, like the sharpest whetstone, and began to actively temper Fang Qing's chaotic true energy and divine soul will.

The gray "Great Extinction Slaughtering Heavenly Dao Divine Sword" seemed to be enraged, emitting a deafening sword cry, and finally moved.

It transformed into a gray ray of death, seemingly capable of piercing through the past, present, and future, carrying an unwavering will to annihilate everything, and hurtled down toward Fang Qing, toward the chaotic furnace.

Wherever the sword passed, an eternal, unhealable black scar was slashed across the void, as if even the concept of "existence" itself was about to be severed by this sword.

This sword strike has transcended the realm of speed and power; it is the ultimate manifestation of the Great Dao's killing intent!

Fang Qing slapped it, and in the next instant, the gray divine sword, powerful enough to make even the Heavenly Dao retreat, began to show fine cracks at its tip.

The cracks spread rapidly, and then the entire divine sword began to disintegrate inch by inch, turning into the purest gray energy, which was then refined by Fang Qing's large hand.

This Great Extinction Heavenly Dao Sword Qi ultimately became a peerless supplement for him to break through to the Mythical Realm and temper his own Great Dao.

As the gray divine sword was completely devoured and refined, Fang Qing's aura suddenly surged.

An aura of immortality and majesty, truly belonging to the mythical realm and transcending the shattered, began to emanate from him.

The second wave of the most terrifying tribulation was forcibly overcome by Fang Qing in such a domineering way!

However, the mythical tribulation seemed to be thoroughly enraged as well. The dark red tribulation clouds did not dissipate after the divine sword was devoured; instead, they began to shrink and condense inward.

The color of the calamity clouds deepened, eventually turning into a pure black, so black that it seemed to absorb all probing and light.

In the heart of this absolute darkness, a pale light appeared.

The light expanded rapidly, and finally... one eye opened!
A gigantic, indescribably large, pale white eye, almost the size of the entire Thai royal celestial realm.

The giant eye was cold, ruthless, and indifferent, with a swirling vortex deep within its pupils that seemed capable of devouring all souls and hopes.

The whites of his eyes were covered with dense, dark red lines that resembled both blood vessels and curse runes!
"Heavenly Eye Annihilation Tribulation!"

Biluo and several veteran Immortal Emperors were so shocked that they were almost numb.

This is the final judgment eye, a divine eye that descends from mythology specifically to those who defy the heavens to the extreme and incur the utmost disgust from the Great Dao.

Once this eye is opened, everything within its sight is reduced to nothingness, and gods and demons are annihilated. Its power is said to be so great that even some veteran mythical powerhouses turn pale at the mere mention of it!

Its enormous, deathly white eyes stared at Fang Qing without any emotion.

The next moment, an indescribably thick, deathly white beam of destructive light shot out silently from the vortex of the pupil.

Wherever the beam of light passed, the space was directly vaporized and evaporated, as if that area had never existed. Any laws, energy, or matter, under the pale light, melted away instantly like ice and snow under the sun, returning to the most primordial nothingness.

This is the true "destroyer of gods"!
Extinguish all life, erase all existence!
Fang Qing's expression, however, was unusually calm, even carrying a hint of understanding.

The Hand of Heaven carried the Ancient Emperor Serpent Talisman, and thus its hand transformed into an endless devouring hand, landing in the void and on the giant eye of the Heavenly Eye Annihilation Tribulation, which was also devoured by Fang Qing.

Endless energy flowed with Fang Qing's breath, and some of it even spread outwards, pouring down into the Taihuang Celestial Realm in a mighty torrent.

For a celestial realm, they are the ultimate nourishment and elixir of immortality.

"Buzz!"

The entire Thai Heavenly Realm erupted in joyous cheers at this moment.

The crystalline walls of the Immortal Realm greedily absorbed this high-level energy, becoming even more solid and dazzling, and even faintly radiating a divine glow belonging to a higher level of the Immortal Realm that had never been seen before.

The earth is expanding, the mountains are rising higher, the rivers are widening, and the concentration and quality of spiritual energy are soaring at a visible rate.

Countless dormant spiritual veins were activated, some long-dried-up blessed lands were revitalized, and even new grotto-heavens and secret realms were born.

The origin of the immortal realm is growing stronger, and its laws are being perfected and evolving!

Originally, the Taihuang Celestial Realm was only a first-class celestial realm, but under the feedback of such a massive amount and such high quality of tribulation energy, it began an astonishing leap!
The barrier of the first-level immortal realm was broken through almost instantly upon the infusion of energy! The spatial structure of the entire immortal realm became more stable, and the upper limit of cultivation that it could support quietly rose to the mythical realm.

But this is not over yet!
The energy of this calamity is far too immense!
That was a terrifying calamity that could annihilate many mythical powerhouses. After pushing Taihuangtian to the peak of the first-class immortal realm, the remaining energy continued to propel it to an even higher level.

"Boom!"

A Daoist voice, more magnificent and solemn than all the previous thunder combined, resounded deep within the souls of every living being in the Taihuang Heaven.

This is a celebration of promotion!
The crystal wall system of the Heavenly Immortal Realm of the Taihuang Heaven has completely transformed into a faint platinum color, with mysterious Dao patterns flowing on it. The overall aura of the Immortal Realm has undergone a qualitative leap.

Vast, majestic, ancient, and brimming with an upward vitality!

Level Three Immortal Realm!

Fang Qing used his own experience of undergoing the Mythical Heavenly Tribulation and forcibly defeating the final tribulation as an opportunity to draw the tribulation back to him, which actually propelled Taihuang Heaven from the first-class immortal realm to the second-class, directly to the third-class immortal realm.

The entire Thai royal court was in an uproar! (End of Chapter)
