Man is in the heavens, parasitic on the way

Chapter 252: Verification and Breakthrough

The moment they entered Fang Ming's All Heavens World, the area where the Plateau of Disaster was located instantly erupted with boundless sword light and fist light, shattering everything and blurring Fang Ming's vision.

Boundlessly terrifying vital energy surged out, spreading towards the past and future Time, filling every segment of Time.

A Taiji diagram severed the future Time, a sword light cut off the past Time, and the present formed an independent Time, imprisoning three Weird Clan Ancestors and seven Weird Immortal Emperors within this cage of Time.

The sword light collided with the black mace, the Time Sea was destroyed, Chaos evaporated, countless Great Dao shattered, the endless Plateau of Disaster disintegrated, and infinite dark universes vanished into thin air.

Accompanied by the sword light, strange black blood surged up, and the Weird Clan Ancestor holding the large mace staggered backward, smashing large areas of the Highland into nothingness, his body covered in terrifying sword marks.

Beside Shi Hao, figure after figure walked forward, all of them were him, Immortal Emperor level Shi Hao. His eyes were like cold lightning, and he pounced towards the seven Weird Immortal Emperors.

On the other side, Ye Fan clenched his fist seals, unleashing the Heavenly Emperor Fist. The entire Highland trembled. Boundless fist light met the long saber in the Weird Clan Ancestor's hand head-on, sending him flying sideways. His hands were spasming, gushing out large amounts of strange true blood, and his body was covered in cracks.

In another place, the Taiji diagram rotated, emitting unspeakable radiance. It and a Thunder Pond, one above and one below, were already aimed at an Ancestor, intending to suppress him.

Neither the Taiji diagram nor the Thunder Pond were real weapons, but rather formed from some incomprehensible patterns. Although not truly existing, they possessed boundless terrifying power.

That Weird Clan Ancestor was actually suppressed, finding it difficult to break free from that terrifying field.

The Plateau of Disaster outside the World boiled and trembled incessantly, never shaking like this day.

This was not only the Plateau of Disaster being shaken, but also the Ancestors sleeping within it awakening!

But by this Time, it was already too late. Shi Hao and Ye Fan had fully unleashed their power.

Endless radiance erupted. In a daze, one could vaguely see the bodies of two Weird Clan Ancestors constantly exploding under the bombardment of supreme sword light and fist seals.

Subsequently, a huge and boundless Taiji diagram fell, draped over a Weird Clan Ancestor, wrapping him as he fell into a Thunder Pond.

Within that brilliant and dazzling radiance, Shi Hao's manifested nine Shi Haos and seven Thunder Ponds, simultaneously suppressing the seven Weird Immortal Emperors.

Two of them swept across the countless dark universes of the Weird Clan. In just an instant, countless dark universes were destroyed, and immeasurable origins flowed into those two Thunder Ponds,

Following this, the nine Thunder Ponds also merged into the Thunder Pond that suppressed the Ancestor.

Seven terrifying and boundless figures walked out of the core Ertu, but everything had already settled. Shi Hao and Ye Fan had long since disappeared.

No matter how they collectively deduced, it was in vain. The Upper Realm was already empty; they couldn't find where the two people who had just launched the surprise attack were.

“It really wasn't him...” Liu Shen looked at the settled battlefield with a complicated expression.

In her perception, Shi Hao had only recently achieved Sacrificial Dao and didn't yet possess such strength.

She could tell that this Shi Hao still had strength to spare and seemed capable of dealing with the three Ancestors alone.

As for Fang Ming, he couldn't see anything. He could only sense terrifying and boundless fluctuations transmitting from an unknown place, which then quickly subsided.

Then, Shi Hao and Ye Fan reappeared within the All Heavens World.

“Let's go verify something first.” Shi Hao and Ye Fan hastily left these words, then departed and returned to another Time.

They left in a hurry and returned in a hurry.

Not long after, only an hour had passed, and the two of them returned again, and their expressions were somewhat off.

“We've verified it. Neither the Weird Immortal Emperors nor the Sacrificial Dao Ancestors have disappeared. Although they are the same individuals, they can still exist simultaneously.” Shi Hao stroked his chin, looking at the foot-long Thunder Pond suspended before him, his heart filled with confusion and doubt.

Light flickered in Ye Fan's eyes as he continuously deduced, but he had no clue.

Just now, they suddenly appeared and launched a surprise attack on the Highland. The Ancestors within had no choice but to fight, which naturally allowed them to verify their idea.

But unexpectedly, the Ancestor and seven Immortal Emperors they captured did not disappear; instead, they remained imprisoned within the Thunder Pond.

Hearing Shi Hao's words, the expressions of Liu Shen, Burial Master, Butcher, and others in this Time improved slightly.

This indicated that Shi Hao was special. It wasn't that the Shi Hao they knew had disappeared because of this Shi Hao from another Time.

Perhaps they were originally the same person, and now they had simply merged.

At this moment, Liu Shen from this Time spoke, saying, “Perhaps it is because you will break through again in the future that you will possess such divine power.”

Hearing her words, Shi Hao nodded and said, “Perhaps, but we have indeed found the path forward, and it is indeed possible to break through.”

In fact, just now he had tried to communicate with the future, but there was no result.

Evidently, even after breaking through, his future self, for reasons unknown, would not communicate with his current self.

Therefore, at this Time, he still needed to rely on himself.

“Fellow Daoists, let's temporarily cultivate in seclusion within this All Heavens World for a period. In the future, when we act together, it will be enough to sweep away the Plateau of Disaster!” Shi Hao looked at these individuals.

Next, Shi Hao and Ye Fan each properly arranged their former subordinates and relatives in this Time.

Then, the two of them performed the weapon sacrifice ritual on Fang Ming's Five Great Split Bodies once more, causing the embryonic Immortal Emperor Dao fruits of Fang Ming's Five Great Split Bodies to further improve, getting closer to true Immortal Emperor Dao fruits.

Of course, considering that a weapon sacrifice of the same magnitude as the previous one might cause Fang Ming's split bodies to gain sudden enlightenment and directly break through, becoming Immortal Emperors in one go.

Therefore, for the Five Great Split Bodies, the weapon sacrifice was different this Time; one Immortal Emperor Dao fruit was sacrificed to the Five Great Split Bodies.

After sacrificing twice consecutively, Shi Hao and Ye Fan stopped. They keenly sensed that Fang Ming's Five Great Split Bodies had reached a certain limit.

Indeed, with continuous weapon sacrifice, Fang Ming's split bodies could continue to gain almost infinite improvement. However, once they reached a level that almost completely surpassed the Quasi-Immortal Emperor stage, upon gaining enlightenment, the path would be clear, and they could directly become Immortal Emperors.

Currently, within the embryonic Immortal Emperor Dao fruits of Fang Ming's Five Great Split Bodies, countless Great Dao were intertwined. They transformed into layers upon layers of Immortal Emperor level Dao Seas, their number immeasurable. Only lacking a certain opportunity, Fang Ming would be able to truly become an Immortal Emperor.

Of course, in fact, even an infinite number of Dao Seas cannot be considered an Immortal Emperor. It can only be said that Fang Ming's split bodies at this Time were not really far from becoming an Immortal Emperor. If they were to gain enlightenment, they could succeed in just an instant.

If the split bodies were to become Immortal Emperors then, it would be troublesome!

During the thousand years of weapon sacrifice, Fang Ming, relying on the large amount of universal origin collected by Shi Hao, successfully elevated his first All Heavens World to the level of a Great Chiliocosm.

As his first All Heavens World was elevated to the Great Chiliocosm level, his realm also rose to the Quasi-Immortal Emperor realm.

Countless World origins collected by Shi Hao from the edge of Ertu poured into the All Heavens World.

Instantly, as if a chain reaction had occurred, Fang Ming's All Heavens Worlds, one after another, tens of millions of them, became universes at the Great Chiliocosm level.

Chaos was nurtured, and the World was created. Attached to each universe at the Great Chiliocosm level were countless Great Chiliocosms. The long river of Time, the Netherworld, and others were also born subsequently.

At this point, his Dao cultivation was at an astonishing level among Quasi-Immortal Emperors, exuding an aura of supreme power.

Waking up from his Dao state, Fang Ming frowned and thought to himself, “As expected, under normal circumstances, this path is not easy to walk. Without the help of a master, relying solely on enlightenment to reach the current level would be extremely difficult!”

Although his All Heavens World contained tens of millions of worlds at the Great Chiliocosm level, compared to the infinite number of All Heavens World, this was just a drop in the ocean, a mere drop of water in the vast sea.

“The All Heavens World system, for me, its creator, is truly a massive pit. Relying solely on my own cultivation without external help, it is truly difficult to achieve perfection.” Fang Ming carefully comprehended this, then shook his head.

To perfect the Quasi-Immortal Emperor realm, not only must all the Great Chiliocosms that existed during the Immortal King realm become Great Chiliocosms, but also the worlds born after becoming a Quasi-Immortal Emperor must be at the Great Chiliocosm level from birth.

Only then can this realm be considered complete, and one can prepare to assault the Immortal Emperor realm.

However, previously, when he was in the late stage of the Immortal King realm, the number of Great Chiliocosms was already infinite.

Moreover, after becoming a Quasi-Immortal Emperor, his embryonic Chaos, which was already close to true Chaos, had infinite universes being born every minute and every second.

In other words, under normal circumstances, it is extremely difficult to achieve perfection by relying on oneself, unless one's comprehension is astonishingly heaven-defying.

Directly expanding the Great Dao, starting from the root, from the inside out, rather than from the outside in.

However, for any system, it is from the inside out. One should expand one's own Dao to perfect one's realm.

Someone like Fang Ming is instead an anomaly!

“Fellow Daoist's system is truly astonishing.” Shi Hao's voice of admiration rang out. He said, “Back then, after I became a Quasi-Immortal Emperor, it took me hundreds of thousands of years to reach Fellow Daoist's level!”

Reaching the Quasi-Immortal Emperor level and still being able to use external objects to improve one's Dao cultivation is enough to prove the excellence of this system.

Although he created the secret realm system of seeking within oneself, it doesn't mean he rejected external factors. On the contrary, he greatly appreciated Fang Ming's system.

“Indeed astonishing.” Ye Fan also nodded and said, “Back then, I also spent this much Time to reach this level.”

Fang Ming's manifested figure shook his head and said, “Don't mention it. I'm just a novice. If it weren't for the World origin brought back by Wild Heaven Emperor, it would be impossible to improve this quickly.”

“Novice?” Ye Fan smiled. Of course, he understood the meaning of this word. He said, “Someone who can forge their own path is no novice. It's just that Fellow Daoist feels he is not skilled in combat.”

“Combat is not something everyone is skilled at. Being able to suppress others with Dao cultivation and strength is the best.” Shi Hao also smiled and said, “Only after becoming an Immortal Emperor did I realize how wonderful it is to suppress others with Dao cultivation and strength!”

Back then, he always used weakness to defeat strength. It seemed glorious, but in reality, it was done out of necessity and was quite frustrating!

The moment he stepped into the Immortal Emperor realm, he was shattered by a sword from the Dark Immortal Emperor. At the same Time, he took the opportunity to activate Shi Hao's, splitting into countless parts to cultivate in countless Time, so the moment he returned, he possessed immensely profound Dao cultivation.

Fang Ming just said that casually. He wasn't the kind of person who pursued ultimate power or the strongest realm.

As his thoughts turned, his Five Great Split Bodies flew towards him and merged into one.
