Humans are shrouded in mist, projecting their image across countless worlds.

Chapter 54 Metamorphosis and Sublimation
In the desolate star field outside the Big Dipper Ancient Starfield, He Lang's consciousness returned to his body from the Realm of Immortality. Bathed in endless lightning, he constantly fought against the illusory images of the ancient emperor and the immortal medicine projected from within the lightning tribulation.

Above his head, a sea of ​​runes, formed from symbols of the Great Dao, intertwined, as dazzling and magnificent as a galaxy in the universe.

The symbols of the Great Dao constantly intertwine and evolve into divine chains of order, transforming into forms such as bells, cauldrons, seals, mirrors, and immortal flames. They undergo trials alongside him, colliding with the phantoms of the ultimate imperial weapons of ancient emperors, imprinting the phantoms of the ultimate imperial weapons on him, and continuously transforming into a great sacred artifact.

Since returning from the Realm of Immortality, he has already passed through two tribulations: the Saint Tribulation and the Saint King Realm. He is currently undergoing the Great Saint Tribulation.

Amidst the vast sea of ​​lightning, He Lang, stepping on the secret of the character "行" (xing), unleashed various supernatural powers and secret techniques, battling against the illusory image of the ancient emperor, proving his own Dao and Dharma.

The ancient emperor phantoms that used to put pressure on him no longer exert much pressure. One after another, the ancient emperor phantoms were shattered into pieces by him. The emperor phantoms were refined, and the fragments of the Great Dao and the laws were transformed into Dao fire, which continuously tempered his body.

After his trip to the Realm of Immortality, he is now no weaker than the Great Emperors and Ancient Emperors of the Shrouding the Heavens world in terms of cultivation and knowledge, not to mention that he is merely a projection of them during the tribulation.

He was essentially an emperor who had suppressed his own realm. No matter how strong the phantoms of emperors and ancient emperors reflected in the universe were, their combat power could not compare to his.

One after another, the phantoms of the Great Emperors and Ancient Emperors emerged from the lightning tribulation, only to be obliterated by He Lang. They transformed into Dao Fire, constantly refining his body and tempering his primordial spirit. Gradually, He Lang even gave up fighting against the phantoms of the Ancient Emperors, Emperors, and Immortal Divine Medicine, and directly sat cross-legged in the sea of ​​lightning, letting them attack him at will.

He ascended to the heavens, his body acting as a furnace of heaven and earth. Profound arts circulated within his body, and the five great secret realms roared. Daoist sounds continuously emanated from his body, expounding the mysteries of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth. Countless chains of divine order extended from his body, like immortal swords, shattering all laws and paths.

During the tribulation, the Emperor and Sovereign, the phantom of the Immortal Medicine, and ancient immortal spirits such as the True Dragon, the Immortal Phoenix, the Kunpeng, and the Xuanwu attacked, but they could not break the divine chains of order spreading from He Lang's body. Instead, they were continuously killed and turned into balls of Dao fire that enveloped He Lang.

The Chain of Order is the ultimate interpretation of all the ancient scriptures and secret techniques that He Lang has mastered; it is the manifestation of the most fundamental Tao and Law.

As time passed, the Dao sound within He Lang's body overwhelmed the thunder in the chaotic sea of ​​thunder, and the divine chains of order that emerged from his body penetrated into the origin of the universe, connecting with the order of the universe. It was as if he had become one with the universe, and the two had become one.

The fundamental order and rules of the universe continuously flowed into his body from the void, cleansing his primordial spirit, flesh, bones, and skin in the five secret realms.

This action seemed to have violated some taboo. The origin of the universe trembled, the divine laws of order intertwined, and boundless Dao traces manifested in the sea of ​​thunder, transforming into a primordial Dao diagram that pressed down. The Dao diagram fell, locking in all changes, leaving nowhere to hide. It was extremely fast, rushing into He Lang's body, sealing He Lang's primordial spirit and the Great Dao, and intending to obliterate He Lang, the one who stole the origin of the universe.

As the Great Universe Origin Dao Diagram rotated, cracks appeared on He Lang's physical body and primordial spirit. Faced with the sealing effect of the Origin Dao Diagram, He Lang also transformed into a Dao Diagram, constantly colliding with the Great Universe Origin Dao Diagram, continuously imprinting himself on the Great Universe Origin Dao Diagram, trying to refine it with the Origin Divine Diagram. Between the collisions, the vast sea of ​​lightning was completely obliterated.

As time passed, the two Dao diagrams gradually merged together, and He Lang's figure reappeared. His body and primordial spirit continued to transform, and his waste bones and blood flew in all directions, plunging into a long process of transformation and sublimation.

Beyond the Big Dipper Domain, the vast starry sky and the dazzling stars had long since turned to dust under the boundless chaotic lightning tribulation. The chaotic lightning sea in the star field where He Lang was undergoing tribulation began to slowly disappear. The boundless star field turned into chaos, and the myriad paths of existence would fall into the chaos, making everything invisible.

Only a vast aura echoed through the star field, spreading overwhelmingly into the surrounding void, pressing down on the ancient star of the Big Dipper, leaving those on the star filled with utter disappointment. "Three years, continuous tribulations, and he still hasn't exhausted his essence? Heaven is unjust!"

In the main hall deep within the Myriad Dragon Nest, the Great Sage Qianlun of the Myriad Dragon Nest looked up at the chaos beyond the realm, sensing that vast aura, his tone filled with regret and helplessness.

In the immortal land where the Immortal Emperor's palace was located, the Great Sage Kunzhou, who was close to the Immortal Emperor's lineage, also looked up at the direction beyond the realm and let out a sigh.

Beside him stood the Heavenly Emperor's son, who had been crippled by He Lang in the battle of Zishan. His eyes were fixed on the sky, his expression utterly indifferent. Three years had passed, and he, whose secret realm had been destroyed, had already reached the second level of immortality. This amazed the supporters of the Heavenly Emperor's lineage with the power of the divine bloodline.

"In the future, the bloodline of the ancient emperor will have enemies. First there was the Heavenly Emperor, and then there is Ye Fan, the Desolate Ancient Holy Body, the Son of God. You need to hurry up. This person is advancing rapidly. The Great Saint realm level cannot stop him, but he will definitely stop at the level before the Emperor realm."

Kun Zhou withdrew his gaze and gave a few words of advice to the Emperor's son beside him.

"I know that will be the time for me to avenge myself."

The Emperor's son spoke calmly, without a trace of hatred, only radiating fighting spirit, displaying utmost composure.

His performance also greatly satisfied Kun Zhou. After being depressed for more than a month after the battle of Zishan, the Emperor Prince emerged from the shadow of that battle and gained some things that he had lacked before. It can be said that he underwent a unique transformation.

The aura of a Great Sage from beyond the realm was enough to astound the world, making the powerful figures on the ancient star of the Big Dipper know with absolute certainty that an invincible hero in his golden age had completely risen.

Given this Heavenly Emperor's personality, the ancient star of the Big Dipper is likely to be bustling for a while longer.

Just as the powerful figures on the ancient star of Beidou were mentally prepared and waiting for He Lang to return to Beidou and cause trouble, there was not the slightest movement in that extraterrestrial chaos.

As expected, He Lang did not emerge from that chaotic star field, and the spreading pressure of the Great Sage fluctuated violently before quickly receding, alerting the powerful figures on the ancient star of the Big Dipper to the anomaly.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone on the Big Dipper, some remains of bones and flesh, tainted with terrifying killing intent, suddenly flew out from that chaotic area. Accompanied by the power of transformation, the remains of bones and flesh quickly tore through the desolate and barren starry sky and landed in another star field not far from the Big Dipper star field.

The divine power and killing intent remaining in the flesh and bones completely pulled that star field into the Dao, and endless laws spread across that star field, turning it into a vast ocean of the Great Dao where laws and order intertwined.
