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

Mythical Sevenfold – “Hao Shen”! Achieved!
Upon entering the Haoshen Realm, Fang Qing felt his connection with the entire world suddenly become countless times stronger. With a slight thought, he could sense the vast celestial power flowing in the void and enhance himself with it, causing his supernatural abilities to increase dramatically.

His chaotic inner world also expanded violently, and the evolution of its internal laws accelerated, beginning to present a wild and untamed scene, with seventy-two special physical origins shining like stars.

However, the massive amount of essence that originated from Ye Shao and the seventy-one geniuses with special physiques has not been fully digested and absorbed.

Like dormant volcanoes, they continued to release boundless energy and fragments of the Great Dao Laws within Fang Qing's body!

The foundation of the Haoshen Realm was quickly solidified and stabilized, and then this power began to challenge higher levels.

Under the nourishment of Haotian's divine power and the impact of the different Dao implications contained in the origins of the seventy-two special physiques, Fang Qing's soul became increasingly clear.

He examines himself and the Great Way from a more harmonious, profound, and realistic perspective.

"Great virtue carries all things, wisdom is all-encompassing, perfection is without flaw, truth is without falsehood..."

In the darkness, it seemed as if the sacred chants of the Great Dao resounded deep within Fang Qing's soul.

His divine power, physical body, soul, and will merged completely in a mysterious way, each containing the other, reaching a state of perfect harmony and invincibility.

A grand will and aura, as solid as the earth, as stable as Mount Sumeru, immeasurable in wisdom, and perfect in virtue, naturally emanated from it.

Mythical Eightfold – “Tuo Shen”! Achieved!
The Realm of the Divine!

The divine power transforms into the power of the Tuo God, which is profound, solid, and full of wisdom!

Wherever the mind goes, all laws follow; there is no need for deliberate prompting, as if the thought itself is the manifestation of the law.

The light of wisdom is inherent within, enabling one to easily see through falsehoods and distinguish truth from falsehood.

The person's entire existence became incredibly real and stable, as if it could bear the weight of all the heavens and the myriad worlds, and remain unyielding through countless eons!

Fang Qing's inner world underwent a second qualitative change under the nourishment of the laws of the Divine Realm and a massive amount of essence.

Those seventy-two unique physical origins have been integrated more deeply into the law network of the inner world, becoming its unique law nodes and endowing the inner world with ever-changing potential.

At this moment, Fang Qing's aura was completely contained, without any sharpness. Standing there, he was like an ancient and ancient divine mountain, or a vast and boundless ocean of wisdom, giving people a sense of unfathomable depth and infinite trustworthiness.

However, the promotions did not stop.

The primordial essence that was devoured seemed endless, and it continued to transform and release continuously.

In particular, the Eternal Body's origin and the Immortal King's inheritance mark and core authority of the King's Map contained in the three Immortal King Tokens contain profound mysteries of the Great Dao and energy levels far beyond imagination.

Driven by this higher power, the perfection and reality of the Divine Realm are regressing and sublimating towards a more primal and essential state.

Fang Qing calmed his mind and followed the natural flow of this force.

He seemed to transform into a speck of dust, yet also to expand into the entire universe. His divine soul soared infinitely, breaking free from the constraints of time and space, seeing the most subtle threads of the laws, the most basic composition of energy, and the most primordial state of existence.

Chaos? Primordial Chaos? Origin? End?
All sorts of grand concepts, like a floodgate opened, poured into his consciousness.

His divine power began to undergo its third and final qualitative change in the mythical realm!
It is no longer simply vast or profoundly wise, but begins to carry a sense of ancient vastness and immensity, like before the separation of chaos and the creation of heaven and earth, boundless and vast, yet containing the primordial aura of all possibilities of birth and death of all things.

"boom--!!!"

It was as if the origin of the Big Bang was ignited within my body, and as if the primordial chaos, the rising of pure energy and the sinking of turbid energy, were unfolding in my soul.

A vast, ancient, and boundless aura, containing all the mysteries of the origin and end of all things, surged from Fang Qing's body, only to instantly recede, transforming into an inner, profound, and extremely powerful pressure.

Mythical Ninth Heaven – “Hong Shen”! Achieved!
The Realm of the Primordial Gods!
The ultimate pinnacle of the mythical realm!
Divine power transforms into primordial divine power, vast and ancient, boundless and limitless, containing the secrets of the origin and end of all things.

Such beings have reached a level of understanding of the fundamental laws of the universe that touches upon the very origin of things.

Cultivators at this level have reached the pinnacle of mythology, having honed their own Great Dao to the extreme of the mythological stage. They possess the qualifications and potential to begin to glimpse and challenge the throne that transcends mythology and is truly immortal.

Fang Qing slowly opened her eyes.

His eyes held a primordial, chaotic color, like two miniature, slowly evolving primordial universes!
His gaze was calm and serene, yet it contained the wisdom to see through the vicissitudes of time and understand the essence of things.

He gently clenched his fist, feeling the vast yet extremely refined, ancient and profound primordial divine power within his body. This power was more than ten thousand times stronger than when he was in the Haoshen Realm.

Moreover, it contains a higher level of Daoist charm, and every strike carries the primordial power of creating the world!
"Nine Mythical Levels, the Pinnacle of the Godly Realm..."

Fang Qing murmured to himself, his voice carrying a calm and understanding that came after experiencing countless tribulations.

He knew that he had reached the theoretical limit of the mythical realm.

Above that lies the legendary Immortal Throne, which requires the accumulation of time, a deeper understanding of the Primordial Dao, and immeasurable supreme resources.

However, even if he is only at the ninth level of the Mythical Divine Realm, he is already an existence that stands at the absolute peak in the current world!
It should be noted that even in the "Doushuai Heaven," the highest immortal realm of the thirty-third rank, the number of known Hongshen Realm experts is very limited. Each of them is an ancient giant who has established the world and a living legend!
Not to mention those immortal realms of the twentieth or teenth rank, having one or two patriarchs at the Tuo Shen realm to oversee things is already considered to have a profound foundation.

In most high-level immortal realms, the Haoshen Realm is already a dominant force.

As for Hongshen... that's a legend, a myth within a myth!
Fang Qing has reached the pinnacle of the Hongshen realm. His terrifying potential and overwhelming strength have already shaken the heavens!

He did not immediately emerge from seclusion, but instead continued to cultivate in seclusion in the hidden place of the Myriad Realms King Map for eighty-one years.

During this time, he focused all his efforts on stabilizing his Hongshen realm, digesting and absorbing what he had gained, comprehending the mysteries of the Primordial Chaos, and refining the six Immortal Execution King tokens. Eighty-one years later, Fang Qing broke through his seclusion!

He did not conceal his vast aura of the Hongshen Realm, and directly left the Myriad Realms King Map, appearing near the "Tianyuan Defense Line" in the outside world, which belonged to the defense zone of the "Taihuang Heavenly Protector Alliance".

When his ancient, boundless, and majestic divine pressure, like a sleeping ancient beast awakening, enveloped the entire Taihuangtian Allied Army's defense zone without reservation, and rapidly spread, sweeping across the entire "Tianyu Star" camp, and even further to various parts of the "Tianyuan Defense Line".

The entire front line was in an uproar! It was breathtaking!

"This...this is...the aura of the God of the Primordial Chaos?! My God! When did such an unparalleled being arrive in our defense zone?!"

"It's coming from Taihuangtian! Is it that 'Ancestor Fang Qing'? Isn't he only at the fifth level of the Mythical Realm? How could that be..."

"Terrifying, absolutely terrifying! It's unbelievable, how could it have happened in such a short time!"

"Quickly! Report this to the Alliance's Supreme Council immediately! A new Grand God has appeared on the front lines!"

The news spread like a thunderclap with wings, reaching the entire "Tianyuan Defense Line" at an astonishing speed, and quickly spreading to the various immortal realms of the All-Heavens Guardian Alliance behind it!
The birth of such a young and newly promoted expert in the Hongshen Realm is of great significance.

Especially in this life-or-death battle against the invasion of the future world, the addition of a powerful expert at the Hongshen Realm is enough to change the local battle situation and even affect the overall strategy.

Soon, the highly respected Venerable Tuo Shenjing, who was stationed at the "Tianyu Star" camp, personally appeared to visit and confirm.

When this ancient deity felt the real, profound, and seemingly in harmony with the Dao emanating from Fang Qing, even with his cultivation and temperament, his eyes revealed undisguised shock and heartfelt admiration.

He clearly sensed that the newly ascended Hong Shen before him possessed a foundation and a perfect aura that far surpassed those who had just entered this realm.

"Brother Fang Dao".

Venerable Sumeru clasped his hands in a gesture of respect, his tone filled with reverence and emotion, “In such a short time, to have broken through several barriers and ascended to the peak of the Hongshen realm—such talent and opportunity are unprecedented! It is truly a great fortune for our Protectorate Alliance and a blessing for all living beings! This old monk is in awe!”

Fang Qing smiled and returned the greeting, his attitude humble yet dignified: "You flatter me, Venerable One. It was merely a fortunate coincidence that I gained some insight."

He couldn't help but feel a little emotional. The cultivation world truly was a place where strength was respected. In the past, the other party addressed him as "little friend" or "fellow Daoist," but now that he had broken through, they had immediately become "fellow Daoist" and treated each other as equals.

With the personal confirmation of Venerable Sumedha, a high-ranking authority in the defense line, the news was completely confirmed, leaving no room for doubt.

Fang Qing, the ancestor of the Thai Heavenly Immortal Realm, obtained an extraordinary opportunity during his training on the front lines and broke through to the ninth level of the Mythical God Realm in one fell swoop!
This explosive news, like a super cosmic storm, instantly swept through and shocked the upper and middle levels of the entire All-Heavens Guardian Alliance, and spread at an astonishing speed to the wider myriad worlds beyond the alliance!
The birth of a new Hongshen, especially a "wild" Hongshen who is not from the old supreme immortal realm, immediately began to show its influence and chain reaction.

The first to react were the dozen or so celestial forces of different levels near the Thai-Chinese Allied Army's defense zone, who were originally observing, hesitating, or struggling to hold on.

After feeling the real pressure of the divine power and receiving the definite news, they arrived without any hesitation, like bees smelling honey!

They sent envoys with generous gifts and the most humble oath of allegiance, pleading to become vassals under Fang Qing, willing to obey the commands of the entire realm, only seeking the protection of this newly ascended Hongshen.

Most of these immortal realms are between the tenth and twentieth ranks, and their strength is not too weak. They possess a certain territory and population, but they lack top-level experts to guard them. Under the threat of the Brahma River's destruction and the invasion of future warriors, they are like candles in the wind, their lives hanging by a thread.

Now that there is a living, breathing Hong Shen nearby who doesn’t seem to reject any power, he is undoubtedly the most reliable lifeline and future support in their eyes. How could they not seize this opportunity?

Following closely behind, some other immortal realms of the twentieth level, which were stronger, had deeper foundations, and were even somewhat famous in the twentieth level immortal realms, with their own Tuo Shen realm ancestors in charge, could no longer sit still!

Their ancestor, the God of the Tuo, might be able to ensure temporary peace, but in the face of strategic power like the Hongshen Realm, he still seems inadequate and unable to gain sufficient influence and resources within the alliance.

In order to secure stronger security, more strategic resources, and a more important position within the alliance in the brutal war to come, they also put aside their reserve and some pride, and sent a high-level delegation personally led by the Old Ancestor Tuo Shen, carrying generous gifts that would move any mythical realm and a draft of the alliance full of sincerity, to pay homage to Fang Qing.

With clear objectives, they either requested the establishment of a strong alliance based on equality and mutual assistance, or directly expressed their willingness to obey Fang Qing's unified command and dispatch during wartime, and jointly form a more powerful combat group.

Fang Qing displayed magnanimity and shrewdness in this regard; he accepted all offers, but not all of them.

He formulated clear, strict, and relatively fair rules and regulations for the alliance, clearly defining rights and obligations.

Using the existing Thai royal alliance as its core framework and absolute leadership, he systematically absorbed these newly joined, large-scale forces, and initially established a massive "protective alliance" system that was far larger and more complex and diverse than before.

At the same time, he demonstrated superb leadership skills and profound wisdom already possessed at the Tuo Shen realm. He used both kindness and severity, and clearly distinguished between rewards and punishments, to initially and effectively integrate these forces with complex origins, different intentions, and potential internal conflicts. He rationally allocated defenses, coordinated and adjusted resources, and established an effective communication and command mechanism.

In an instant, the area he controlled, which was originally just part of the defense line, not only did not become chaotic due to the expansion of his power, but instead became more orderly, with a more three-dimensional and complete defense system, as solid as a rock.

With their strength greatly increased, the Allied Forces began to shift from simple defense to planned and organized proactive attacks, clearing out the small tributaries of the Brahma River and the outposts of future warriors in the nearby star system. They achieved considerable success, greatly relieving the pressure on adjacent defense zones and making their reputation even more renowned.

The greatest and most decisive shock and recognition ultimately came from the true core and highest power level of the Thirty-Three Heavens Immortal Realm, the alliance of protectors of all heavens.

When a detailed report of Fang Qing's ascension to the rank of Hong Shen and his rapid consolidation of a formidable force on the front lines was passed through special channels and eventually reached the desk of the Supreme Elder Council, the highest authority in the Doushuai Heaven, this supreme immortal realm of thirty-three levels could no longer remain silent or merely observe this suddenly rising, relatively simple-background, powerful new star.

A powerful leader, especially one who seems to have leadership skills and can quickly make a breakthrough on the front lines, is of immeasurable value during wartime.

Soon, an official decree bearing the supreme seal of the Tushita Heaven and formed by the collective will of several ancient primordial gods of the "Supreme Elder Council" traversed the endless chaotic sea of ​​stars and the battlefield, descending upon the front lines in a solemn and grand manner, and directly conveying itself to Fang Qing himself.

The edict was concise and to the point, yet every word was as weighty as the stars.

"There is Fang Qing from the Heavenly Immortal Realm of the Taihuang, a man of extraordinary talent and unwavering Daoist heart. He comprehended the Dao on the front line of the great calamity, broke through in one fell swoop, and achieved the position of a Hongshen. He has promoted the righteous spirit of all heavens and enhanced the prestige of our Daoist Protection Alliance. His merit is immeasurable."

By unanimous decision of the Supreme Elders Council, Fang Qing was specially promoted to Supreme Elder of the Supreme Elders Council of Tushita Heaven, and was granted the supreme title of "Fang Tianzun". He was given command of the allied forces under his command, serving as the core pillar of the alliance's eastern strategic region, and was given the authority to act as he saw fit.

May they uphold their original aspirations, bravely take the lead, fight valiantly against the enemy, and protect all living beings under the heavens' witness!

Supreme Elder of the Supreme Elder Council, Fang Tianzun!
These two titles, within the Thirty-Three Heavens Immortal Realm system and even the entire Protectorate Alliance, signify unparalleled glory and immense, undeniable power! (End of Chapter)
