A person in the heavens, starting with a Chaos Emperor Dao Fruit

Once the Bridge to the Other Shore descends and merges into Hong Yi's body, it will allow Hong Yi's physical body to reach a state of endless transformation in almost an instant. At this time, with the enlightenment of the philosophers, Hong Yi will be able to shatter the vacuum in an instant.

Once the vacuum is shattered, he will have the means to confront Yunhua; moreover, with the Bridge to the Other Shore, the strongest artifact of all time, in his possession, he will have a huge advantage.

"Do you think I didn't anticipate the arrival of the Bridge to the Other Shore?" Yunhua said, suddenly reaching out and grabbing at the air.

In an instant, a large hand grabbed the Bridge to the Other Shore, firmly imprisoning it and preventing it from falling into Hong Yi's body.

"Buzz!" "Boom!"...

The Bridge to the Other Shore trembled violently, like a giant dragon, desperately trying to break free from Yunhua's confinement. The terrifying power shattered countless cracks in the void.

This is Yujing City, and the power of the Bridge to the Other Shore has instantly destroyed the entire city. It was as if Yujing City had been hit by a magnitude 6.5 earthquake, shattering into pieces and causing countless deaths and injuries.

Seeing the complete destruction of Jade Capital City, Hong Yi straightened his body, activated his Daoist arts, and a majestic voice resounded throughout the world: "Bold demon, how dare you commit such a world-destroying act! Today, I, Hong Yi, shall act on behalf of Heaven and slay this demon!"

This questioning voice was dignified and upright, containing a righteous spirit, as if displaying its selfless character before everyone in the world.

The moment this sound was uttered, the entire world trembled, and countless statues of the sages enshrined in every household resonated with it. A surge of holy energy gathered from all directions between heaven and earth.

"The philosophers' contingency plans are indeed formidable; with a single word, they aim to seize control of people's hearts and legitimacy... But unfortunately, I have never cared about the so-called legitimacy of people's hearts. Although the power of a united people's hearts is immense, no matter how strong the human way is, how can it surpass the way of Heaven?"

Yunhua said softly, "The Bridge to the Other Shore shattered the Jade Capital; it was an object of evil. Today, I will utterly destroy this bridge!"

Chapter 422 The Great Liberation Technique

Yunhua seized the bridge and directly absorbed the power of the Great Dao. With a "crack," a corner of the entire Other Shore Bridge was snapped off by Yunhua and devoured and refined.

After Yunhua devoured and refined a corner of the bridge, almost all the Daoist teachings and philosophies of the Hundred Sages and Masters were integrated into Yunhua's body through that corner of the bridge, becoming his nourishment.

An unimaginable surge of true energy was born from Yunhua's acupoints, then poured into his entire body, even into every single thought of his soul.

In an instant, his spiritual thoughts grew once again, and his vision seemed to rise infinitely, reaching an unprecedented level.

In that instant, he felt closer to the Yang God realm than ever before!

To become a Yang God, the first two conditions are that the physical body reaches the level of a Human Immortal and the soul has passed through the Ninefold Tribulation of Lightning. After that, there is a transformation of the soul, requiring the cultivator to have no regrets or remorse in their heart, nor any fear or apprehension.

But in reality, this transformation of the soul is the most difficult.

In the original story, Hong Yi failed in his first attempt to break through to the Yang God realm because he had regrets in his heart.

At that time, his regret was that he had not been able to fulfill his grand ambition of "everyone becoming a dragon".

The same applies to Meng Shenji in the original novel. He was always the number one person in the world, but he was overtaken by Hong Yi, which left him with regrets.

Therefore, only after a powerful being who has shattered the vacuum has dedicated all his energy to him, allowing his physical body to also reach the state of shattering the vacuum, can he truly break through to the Yang God realm.

And Yunhua is in the same situation now.

After he came into this world, what he feared most was the contingency plans of the philosophers and the bridge to the other shore.

So after coming to this world, he actually kept a low profile, secretly accumulating power, almost never showing himself, and even when he did, he would erase his traces.

But now, with a piece of the bridge to the other shore broken off by him, most of the fear in his heart dissipated, and his mind reached an unprecedented height, infinitely close to the Yang God.

"What?!" However, Yunhua's action startled Hong Yi, who was standing to the side.

The bridge to the other shore, which the philosophers spent countless years forging, has now been broken off by someone's bare hands.

"However, since you dared to touch the Bridge to the Other Shore, you're courting death!!" Hong Yi exclaimed in shock and rage, "You've destroyed the Bridge to the Other Shore, so today I'll use your body to repair it!"

"What do you think allows the philosophers to imprison so many ancient sage emperors and use their treasures to forge the bridge to the other shore? Let me tell you, it's this one great supernatural power that allows them to reach the other shore—the Great Liberation!"

"Boom!"

A wave of destruction emerged from the Bridge to the Other Shore, carrying the true meaning of great liberation, and swept towards Yunhua.

In that instant, Yunhua felt a terrifying force that was about to disintegrate his physical body, destroy his acupoints, and utterly annihilate him.

"But unfortunately... how can you, who have not truly reached the other shore realm, make me give up all liberation?" Yun Hua's mind settled slightly, and his acupoints throughout his body trembled slightly, directly dispelling the profound meaning of the Great Liberation Technique.

What is the Great Liberation?

That is to give up one's physical body, one's soul, one's memories and thoughts, and to transform everything about oneself into a wish to reach the other shore!

The essence of this move is to target the mind; as long as one has a yearning for the other shore in their heart, they will definitely fall for it; in fact, for people in this Yangshen world, the higher their cultivation level, the easier it is for them to fall for it.

Especially after passing through the ninefold tribulation of lightning, and experiencing the "despair" of cultivation within the tribulation, it is even easier for cultivators to yearn for the "other shore".

It is precisely because it is so far away that we yearn for it; it is precisely because it is untouchable that we desire it.

The Great Liberation Technique is based on the monks' "yearning" and "desire" for the other shore.

Yunhua had already grasped the secrets of the other shore. The other shore was no longer an unattainable goal for him. He had no "longing" or "desire" for the other shore of this world, so naturally he did not need to turn everything he had into the desire to reach the other shore.

Because he knew very well that the so-called other shore of the Yangshen world was that even if heaven and earth were destroyed, I would not perish; even if heaven and earth decayed, I would not decay!

Once you reach the Immortal Realm of the Mortal World, you can directly reach this so-called other shore!

The Great Liberation Technique is absolutely lethal to the creatures of this world; but to Yunhua from other worlds, this move is useless!

At the same time, the moment Hong Yi unleashed the "Great Liberation Technique," he also felt as if he had lost himself, but at the same time, he felt as if he had regained his true self. Everything in front of him became incredibly clear and real.

"So this is the great liberation, this is the true meaning of the other shore!" This thought flashed through Hong Yi's mind.

"With such a great method of liberation, even a peerless expert who has shattered the vacuum would surely be unable to withstand it!" Hong Yi looked at Yun Hua again with this thought in mind, but when he looked at her, he was completely dumbfounded.

With a soft "crack!!", another part of the Bridge to the Other Shore was broken off and devoured and refined.

Hong Yi could hardly believe it. The Great Liberation Technique had failed? This person had actually been exempted from the power of the Great Liberation Technique?

"Impossible. Even the ancient Holy Emperor could not be exempt from the Great Liberation Technique. How did he withstand it? Could it be because the Bridge to the Other Shore was damaged?" Hong Yi was a little confused, but he calmed himself down and activated the Great Liberation Technique again.

"Boom!!"

On the bridge to the other shore, another burst of the Great Liberation Technique's power erupted, spreading throughout Yunhua's body. This time, Hong Yi disregarded comprehending the profound meaning of the Great Liberation Technique, watching intently, wanting to understand how Yunhua had become immune to its power!

However, the more Hong Yi looked, the more shocked he became.

"As long as one does not have the thought of going to the other shore in one's heart, one can be exempt from the Great Liberation Technique?" Hong Yi was somewhat dumbfounded. He could not imagine that an unparalleled expert who had shattered the vacuum would not even have the thought of going to the other shore in his heart.

How can this be?

What cultivator doesn't yearn for the other shore?

"Could it be that he has really found a real path, a path to the other side? But how is that possible? His path has not been verified either." Hong Yi suddenly recalled what Yun Hua had said before, and the shock in his heart grew stronger.

If the other party really finds a path to the other side, and the chance of success is greater than that of me, then maybe I can really rely on this determination and perseverance to be exempt from the Great Liberation Technique!

But when Hong Yi thought of this, his heart... wavered!

A path even closer to the other shore than his own made Hong Yi feel that everything he had done was in vain, all the schemes of the philosophers had come to naught, and his own Book of Changes had lost its meaning.

However, just as Hong Yi was falling into self-doubt, Yun Hua was further devouring the Bridge to the Other Shore.

With each fragment he devoured, Yunhua felt his physical body and soul undergoing a transformation. His entire body was glowing, and his 129,600 acupoints looked as dazzling as 129,600 stars.

His soul, which had undergone nine tribulations of lightning, was also changing. After the Bridge to the Other Shore was digested, most of the true energy and power it contained were absorbed by Yunhua's primordial spirit.

Chapter 423 Achievement of Yang God

Just as the Bridge to the Other Shore was being swallowed up by Yunhua, suddenly—"Crack!!"

All living beings in the world seemed to be drawn by some kind of force, and at this moment, a picture unconsciously appeared in their minds.

It was a dark and gloomy place, everything was pitch black. But then, suddenly, a sun leaped over the horizon, shining brightly and becoming the only eternal light in the universe, illuminating all living beings in the world.

In that instant, Yunhua frantically activated his primordial spirit, swallowing the last remaining part of the Bridge to the Other Shore, and all the remaining power continuously merged into his divine soul.

At this moment, before Hong Yi's eyes, Yun Hua's figure kept growing taller and taller, until it finally broke through a limit and transformed into a blazing sun, appearing in his heart.

At this moment, Yunhua's transformation reached its peak. His primordial spirit transformed into a blazing sun, illuminating heaven and earth. At this moment, the vast world seemed to be born because of him, and the rules of heaven and earth changed because of him.

In that instant, Yunhua's primordial spirit underwent an unimaginable qualitative change. The endless primordial energy in the world, as well as the power generated after the Bridge to the Other Shore was digested, surged wildly into every thought of his primordial spirit.

The most brilliant light emanated from his primordial spirit, an eternal light that shone even brighter than the core of the sun.

"Boom!!"

At the same time, an unimaginable force swept across the eight directions and six realms, connecting the past, present, and future.

The Yang God has finally been formed!

That aura, like the sun leaping from the horizon, shook the heavens and earth, dominating the universe. Everything indicated to the world that another person in the world had achieved the Yang God realm. Even those who did not understand the path of cultivation knew that an unimaginably terrifying powerhouse had been born in the world.

"Yang God... Someone in the world has actually cultivated to the Yang God realm again?" Countless voices exchanged in the void, and many hidden powerhouses also began to communicate.

"Yang Shen... the highest realm of soul cultivation, the pure Yang body, the supreme body..." Meng Shenji, who had survived the nine tribulations of lightning, was shocked.

"First the vacuum was shattered, and now the Yang God has appeared. In a single day, such a terrifying change has occurred in the world... It's unimaginable!"

The place of origin.

The Longevity Emperor opened his eyes again and chuckled, "Another person in the world has cultivated the Yang God, and it's not one of the philosophers. It seems the philosophers have indeed failed... I wonder what kind of person this variable is. I really look forward to him coming to me."

Meanwhile, on the other side, the Daoist of Creation also opened his eyes: "Another Yang God has been born in the world, and judging from the aura, it seems to be exactly the same as the one who shattered the vacuum before. Achieving both Yang Godhood and shattering the vacuum at the same time, this era has given birth to another supreme being..."

The Creation Daoist was indeed somewhat moved. Although the simple Yang God and the power to shatter the vacuum were incredibly powerful, they meant nothing to him. The only ones he truly valued were those who possessed both the power of the Yang God and the power to shatter the vacuum.

In this era, only four people have been able to cultivate to this level: the Eternal Emperor, the Daoist of Creation, the Holy Emperor Pan, and the Holy Emperor Yuan. Now, one more person is about to emerge.

"So this is the Yang God!" Yunhua entered a wondrous state.

It's like losing yourself.

Yunhua felt that at this moment, his thoughts soared to the heavens, traversed the void turbulence, and arrived in another space.

I saw the sun and the moon, one a ball of fire, the other a ball of cold, radiating endless yin and yang forces, yet they rotated and complemented each other, with yin taking the lead over yang and yang taking the support of yin.

The power of the sun and moon descended endlessly, flowing into his primordial spirit.

At the same time, Yunhua sensed the vast and boundless thoughts of the entire universe, the majestic and boundless thoughts of the sun and moon, and the thoughts of countless stars beyond the heavens.

"It turns out that the whole world has its own thoughts and is also a living entity. The sun, moon and stars are also living entities, but their thinking is too slow. It takes millions of years for a single thought to take so long to process. They are completely different from humans and from any other living beings."

Suddenly, a realization arose in my heart.

This world has many powerful Yang spirits, such as Yuan, Pan, and Tai, who created the three scriptures of the past, present, and future, and so on.

They left the world and transformed into stars, floating in the universe, because the thought of stars is the longest-lasting thought, which can prolong their lives.

However, such a thought process only takes millions of years to make a single movement, which is unimaginably slow.

Especially his body and the world beneath his feet were completely one; at this moment, he was the world, and the world was him.

"This is the state after shattering the vacuum and combining with the Yang God realm!" Yun Hua quietly felt his current power.

He felt that the power he had gained after merging the power of Shattering the Vacuum and the Yang God was already very close to the power of his original self in the Shrouding the Heavens world before he attained enlightenment.

With his divine soul cultivated into a Yang God and his physical body cultivated into a state of shattering the void, Yunhua could feel his divine soul and physical body merging anew, transforming into a completely new whole...

“Illusion and reality, yin and yang, inside and outside… At my current level, the cultivation system of the Yang God World has come to an end!” Yun Hua pondered for a while, then shook his head.

Compared to the Heaven-Covering Technique, the cultivation system of the Yangshen World still has significant shortcomings...

After all, this is a system where one cannot cultivate to the level of "immortality".

“Having cultivated to the highest level in this Yang God world, it’s time to go and take a look at the Origin Land!” Yun Hua pondered for a while, then glanced at Hong Yi not far away.

At this moment, Hong Yi's Dao heart was shattered, and he would never be able to advance to the Yang God realm in this lifetime.

Hong Yi was also one of the philosophers. The main reason why he could kill gods and Buddhas who couldn't stop him was that he firmly believed that his path to the other shore was the most perfect, the most powerful, and the only correct path to the other shore.

But now, after seeing Yunhua, he understands that there exists a more perfect path to the afterlife than his own. Although he doesn't know what it is, the meaning of his struggle has already been established.

“My Dao heart is shattered… My path to the other shore, hehe, naturally it is to return to the world of Shrouding the Heavens! As long as I return to the world of Shrouding the Heavens, and give the true meaning of the other shore that I have gained in this world to my true self, becoming a quasi-immortal emperor will be much easier.” Yun Hua glanced at Hong Yi and understood his situation very well.

In any case, his path to the other shore is not in this world, and the cultivation path in this world cannot lead to the other shore unless he truly destroys the world and takes everything in the world into his hands.

In fact, Hong Yi's "everyone is like a dragon" is based on this principle: to eliminate all enemies who disagree with him and to control the world.

"The future is uncertain, and after I leave, I may not be able to return to this world... Hong Yi, you should take good care of yourself! However, your 'everyone is a dragon' concept is good, so live by that concept from now on! Stop thinking about the other side, focus on improving people's livelihoods, that's what you need most!"

Yunhua thought to herself. Hong Yi's idea of ​​"everyone becoming a dragon" was indeed good, but Hong Yi's actions treated "everyone becoming a dragon" as a tool to reach the other shore, showing too much utilitarianism.

Chapter 424 Heading to the Land of Origin

What Yunhua is doing now is to strip away Hongyi's ambition and make him truly uphold his desire for everyone to become like a dragon, to do things personally and dedicate his life to it; instead of, as in the original work, relying on the "future master" to govern the world and his subordinates to educate the masses, while he alone remains high above, enjoying the incense and faith of the masses.

Moreover, it's one thing that he was aloof and superior in the original work, but the problem is that even at the end, he was unwilling to look back, instead staring at that unreachable other shore.

Yunhua didn't glance at Hong Yi much before leaving the dilapidated Yujing and returning overseas.
