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

But he didn't rush to break through; instead, he went through the process of comprehending the truth a second time.

"But is it just my imagination? I feel like my Ultimate Fire Dao still has some flaws?" After studying this Ultimate Fire Dao for the second time, Yun Hua suddenly had a strange feeling.

"The control method here seems to have gone wrong. Is it because he went the wrong way that this happened? No, it seems..."

Yunhua first carefully considered and pondered the first deviation, and he quickly realized that the other party was not wrong, but he himself was wrong.

During his cultivation, he drew heavily on his insights into the fire elemental path from other worlds, which is why he was able to grow so rapidly.

But are the paths in other worlds correct? Do they align with the ultimate fire path of this world?

That's something that remains to be seen.

At this moment, Yunhua compared the paths taken by those who had followed the ultimate path of fire in this world and immediately realized the deviations he had made in his process of enlightenment.

The ultimate path of this world must conform to the ultimate path in the origin of the chaotic universe; otherwise, the attempt to achieve the Dao will inevitably fail.

However, Yunhua consistently progressed in the manner of the world of Shrouding the Heavens, creating some things that belonged to him and some things that belonged to other worlds, which was somewhat inconsistent with the origin of this wild and chaotic universe.

If this continues, failure is inevitable when one tries to attain enlightenment!

"These are the differences between worlds. I now need to re-examine my own Ultimate Fire Path, starting from the first level, eliminating all the differences between worlds, and walking the path of this world more purely, a path that is more in line with the origin of the chaotic universe!"

Yunhua continued to study the fire principles of his predecessors, using them as a model to carefully research and strive to resolve the differences in the world.

Time flowed by year after year, and Yunhua remained quietly seated at the entrance of the main hall.

The blue-robed, white-haired spirit of the cave looked at Yun Hua and thought to himself, "As expected of a cultivator who practices the path of fire, he has been in a state of cultivation ever since he viewed the ultimate fire path. It's been ten years now, could he be planning to directly merge with the Dao like this?!"

The blue-robed, white-haired spirit of the cave dwelling had also paid attention to Yun Hua, because in his opinion, Yun Hua was very strong. Among the countless Dao Lords in the entire Chaos Universe, apart from the Ultimate Dao Lord, he could rank among the top three.

Such a person still has a chance to pass the third hurdle if they take it a step further.

Time continued to flow, and finally, a hundred years later, Yunhua opened his eyes; at this moment, his eyes were much deeper than before, clearly indicating that his cultivation had greatly improved.

However, Yunhua felt a pang of regret: "After a hundred years, although I have reorganized my own Ultimate Fire Path, there are still thirteen nodes. I don't know if I was wrong, or if this Dao Lord of the Fourth Step Ultimate Fire Path was wrong..."

Although his path was filled with many paths from other worlds, when they were mutually verified, Yunhua would not foolishly deny his own path entirely; after all, this Four-Step Dao Lord himself had failed to achieve Dao integration, so his path was not necessarily the right one.

Moreover, when Ji Ning failed to achieve Dao in the original work, he also said that he was the first person in the entire universe to comprehend the correct eternal ultimate Dao, even though he had already failed to achieve Dao at that time.

This also shows that this Dao Lord of the Ultimate Fire Path must have made some mistakes in his path, rather than Yun Hua making them.

Over the course of a century, Yunhua both verified and comprehended the Way of Fire in this world, thus successfully determining whether he was wrong or whether he himself was wrong.

During this time, he also discovered that in some places he was right and the other party was wrong; but in most places, the errors were caused by Yunhua bringing in the Dao from other worlds.

However, among these differences, Yunhua also discovered thirteen places where, with his current cultivation level, he couldn't tell whether he was wrong or the other party was wrong.

“Whether I’m wrong or the other side is wrong, I’m going to prove it with my life now, while my natal talisman is still usable… Eternal Ultimate Fire Path, you are worth sacrificing my life for!” Yunhua stood up.

Seeing Yunhua stand up, the spirit of the cave said, "You only have one last hurdle left. As long as you pass it, there will be no more danger, and the rewards will be even greater than those from the previous 'Ultimate Fire Path'. Now, whether you try or give up is the choice."

"Of course I'll go!" Yunhua left his cave dwelling behind as always and stepped directly into the main hall.

Upon entering the main hall, a breathtaking view unfolded before them. The hall boasted sixteen enormous golden pillars, and at its highest point stood a throne.

However, Yunhua only glanced at the throne before turning her attention to the two figures beside it.

One of them was dressed in a purple robe, and the intense pressure emanating from him was almost suffocating. With just one glance, Yun Hua confirmed that this was also an Eternal Emperor, and a Ruler at that.

On the other side, there was a figure with a slightly weaker aura, dressed in a black robe, exuding a chilling aura. This was a figure second only to the Overlord in the Chaotic Universe, a city lord of a Holy City.

The two men looked over as soon as Yunhua entered.

"The Dao Lord of Life and Death? How boring!" The purple-robed ruler glanced at Yun Hua and then looked at another person, "Good disciple, it's your turn to make a move."

"Don't worry, Master! After being trapped here for so many years, I'll give him a good welcome." The black-robed man's eyes narrowed slightly, and his killing intent surged.

At this moment, the spirit of the cave also entered and said, "Because you are only a Dao Lord, your opponent is only an Eternal Emperor at the level of a Holy City Lord. As long as you defeat him or blast him out of the hall, you will have succeeded."

Chapter 1093 Sacrificing One's Life to Illuminate the Dao

"You should be glad that you are only a Dao Lord of Life and Death, so you only need to face opponents at the level of the Lord of the Holy City; if you were an Eternal Emperor, then your opponent would be that Overlord. However, if you can blast them out of the main hall, the restrictions outside the main hall will naturally kill them as well."

"Therefore, whoever can pass the third trial will surely die. Only those with truly extraordinary talent are qualified to pass all three trials; even mediocre rulers are not qualified. The master's fortune will only be reserved for the most outstanding experts," the cave spirit said coldly. "Alright, let's begin!"

With that, he stepped aside and watched coldly.

“Hehehe!!”

At this moment, the man in black robes walked over and said, "Little guy, if you have someone to blame, blame the owner of this cave! You are the first person to break into this place in all these years. I will make you die slowly in pain."

The more he spoke, the more excited he became, as if he could already see Yunhua's tragic future.

"Kill!!" At the sound of killing intent, the man in black robes moved instantly.

"Hiss!!" In an instant, a huge black snake phantom appeared in the void. It was as fast as a ghost and attacked Yunhua in an instant.

"Boom!"

However, to the black-robed man's surprise, Yun Hua did not back down. Instead, he formed a fist, and terrifying flames wrapped around his arms and fists. With overwhelming force, he directly clashed with the pitch-black snake.

With a deafening roar, the black serpent reverted to its original form—the man in black robes. He held a knife, which clashed with Yunhua's fist, the blade already half-cut into Yunhua's knuckles.

"What? He actually withstood my attack!? His arm is strong too, even I couldn't cut it with one strike. This kind of divine body..." The black-robed man was shocked, and then his face instantly turned ferocious. He exerted his strength once again and slashed down fiercely.

"Such formidable power! No wonder he's a city lord of the Holy City!" Yun Hua's entire body seemed to burst into flames, and a terrifying explosive force erupted once again—

"Boom!!"

With a deafening roar, the sky seemed to collapse and the earth to split open. The void inside the palace almost exploded, and blinding light burst forth. Then, Yunhua and the man in black robes retreated a distance at the same time.

"Good lad, you actually managed to block one of my attacks; but I don't believe you can really defeat me, kill!" The black-robed man roared in fury and slashed wildly once more.

"You old bastard, you're the one who's going to die!" Yun Hua clenched his right fist, and scorching flames swept across it like a rosy glow. The fist bone that had been cleaved open by the black-robed man instantly healed. Then, without taking out any weapons, he charged out alone.

In fact, Yunhua no longer had any weapons or external objects on him; he had thrown all of those things into his cave. All he had left were his own unique methods.

This battle wasn't truly about winning at all costs; rather, Yunhua wanted to use it to see clearly the thirteen differences between his ultimate path and those of his predecessors, to determine whether he was wrong or the opponent was wrong, and whether he was using this Eternal Emperor as a test subject!

He risked his life to illuminate the truth!

The great battle continued. Relying on his phoenix-like regenerative abilities, Yunhua paid no attention to his opponent's attacks and fought with a life-or-death attitude. His attacks were incredibly powerful, and terrifying flames swept in all directions, clearing away all obstacles.

Faced with Yun Hua's offensive, the black-robed man grew even angrier, his twin blades becoming increasingly cold and ruthless as they clashed repeatedly with Yun Hua, producing loud clanging sounds.

In an instant, flames and black mist danced in the hall, dazzling light burst forth, and it seemed as if a black snake and a phoenix were fighting in the void, battling from the sky to the ground, causing the void to tremble violently.

If this weren't the Supreme's Abode, with restrictions set up by the Supreme, the entire hall would probably have collapsed long ago.

The great battle inside the hall lasted for three whole days.

The man in black robes was already tattered and covered in burn marks. Fortunately, he had already been transformed into a puppet by the Supreme Being, which allowed him to survive Yun Hua's terrifying flames.

However, Yunhua's condition wasn't good either. His opponent was, after all, a Lord of the Holy City, and Yunhua had abandoned all external aids, relying solely on his own abilities to fight. Therefore, even with his Phoenix Body's regenerative abilities, he was now at a disadvantage.

"You're going to lose... What a pity, you're not the most monstrous Dao Lord yet, you've been investigated a little!" The spirit of the cave, who was watching coldly, also shook his head secretly.

"However, the existence of your natal Dao talisman will probably allow you to survive. If you come back after you have merged with the Dao, there might still be a sliver of hope."

"Kill!!" The black-robed man let out a heart-wrenching roar, and then finally cleaved Yun Hua's body in half with a single strike.

"Haha, kid, you are indeed powerful, but in the end I still won!!" the black-robed man roared.

"Yes, you won, but this battle is almost over. It's time to show you my most powerful technique!" Yun Hua's eyes turned cold, and then he reached out and grabbed his opponent, while the flames within his body rapidly gathered—

"Boom!"

The flames of life, the flames of destruction, the flames of explosion, the flames of heaven-burning, the flames of the heart... all sorts of flames frantically converged towards Yunhua's heart, and then condensed into one in a mysterious way.

"Oh no, you...self-destruct!?" The man in black robes was terrified. This opponent was actually willing to die to kill him?

"You guessed right. This is my ultimate and strongest attack. Are you ready?" Yun Hua grinned, and then—

"Boom!!"

In an instant, it was as if the sun had risen, dazzlingly bright. All the array formations and restrictions inside the entire hall erupted, and the scorching heat and terrifying impact madly crashed into the black-robed man.

"Tsk tsk tsk! A self-destructive, mutually destructive attack that actually reached the Dominator level, truly astonishing!" The spirit of the cave couldn't help but marvel.

"No!!" The man in black robes screamed in terror, but Yun Hua's self-destruction was too powerful. He couldn't control his body at all, and his entire body was sent flying.

The instant he was blasted by the shockwave to the main entrance of the hall—

"Om!"

Suddenly, a hazy golden light shone on the gate. The golden light swept over the black-robed man, and his aura instantly dissipated. At the same time, his body disintegrated into individual parts, which were swept away by the golden light and quickly disappeared.

“Dead!” In the main hall, another Sovereign-level man saw this scene and his heart was filled with sorrow. That was his disciple, and he had died just like that, his soul and true spirit completely annihilated.

"When will it be my turn?" the man sighed inwardly.

Meanwhile on the other side.

Yunhua placed the magical treasure of the cave outside the main hall in a quiet room.

A green leaf-shaped talisman suddenly lit up, and the wisp of soul and true spirit remaining inside the talisman began to slowly recover under the talisman's original power.

Chapter 1094 Continuous Breakthroughs in Mental Power

The whole process was like a baby growing in its mother's womb. Yunhua's soul and true spirit began to slowly grow and gradually recover. As more and more of his soul recovered, his consciousness became clearer and clearer.

"So this is what life and death feel like, this is the boundary between life and death, this is a feeling I've never experienced before!" After experiencing this life and death, Yunhua was extremely shocked.

This was a feeling he had never experienced before in countless years. Whether in the world of Shrouding the Heavens or any other world, he had never experienced true death. This experience now deeply shocked him.

In that instant, Yunhua was also somewhat mesmerized. For the first time in countless years, he felt a profound sense of insignificance. In the face of life and death, everything else is utterly insignificant.

In that instant, Yunhua's heart felt adrift, as if everything she had comprehended had become illusory and fleeting, leaving her with a sense of emptiness.

Everything in this cave, whether flowers, trees, insects, fish, birds, or beasts, seemed to become an extension of Yunhua's soul at that moment. His heart was constantly expanding and extending, eventually even affecting the chaotic world within the entire cave.

But this chaotic world seemed to be no limit; his heart continued to rise, rise, and rise again.

It seemed endless, as if it would never end! Everything in the world was contained within his heart!

"So this is the so-called fourth level of mental power - the mortal realm!" Yun Hua realized that he had actually used the great terror between life and death to cultivate his mental power, which had not made any progress in countless years, to the fourth level - the mortal realm in one go.

The so-called mortal world is about truly feeling one's own insignificance from the depths of one's heart.

But Yunhua is different from many people in this world. In the world of Shrouding the Heavens, he is a quasi-Immortal Emperor with dual Dao Fruits, infinitely close to becoming an Immortal Emperor. In the world of Yangshen, he is also an invincible figure. In the world of Changsheng, he is also invincible. He has never been defeated in the myriad worlds...

How could someone who has succeeded all the way feel insignificant?

Even when looking back at the past, at a time when history seemed insignificant, the heart is ultimately different.

Even if you deliberately employ some methods, such as falling into illusions or inner demons, what good will it do? Can you deceive your own heart?

Therefore, Yunhua herself has always given up on the path of mental effort.

But now, having proven himself through death, he actually grasped that fleeting sense of "insignificance," finally upgrading his mental strength. And with this accumulated power finally unleashed, his mental strength seemed to have no limits, continuing to surge—

"boom!"

Finally, his mental strength reached a new limit once again, leaping from the fourth level to the fifth level—the Return to Truth Realm!

A terrifying mental force merged within his sea of ​​consciousness, even affecting the space within it.

But the fifth level was not his current limit; his mental strength continued to grow—"Boom!!"

Finally, his mental power reached a new level once again. His powerful mental power had broken free from nothingness and could truly interfere with reality.

In that instant, illusion and reality converged into a single point, and then that point exploded with a roar, like the Big Bang, gradually giving birth to all things in the universe.

This is the world of the heart.

It is also the sixth level of mental power—the world!

This realm also represents the "World Realm," signifying that Yunhua has now officially become one of the rarest cultivators in the universe—a practitioner of mental power.

"I never expected that after being trapped in my mental power for so long, I would break through three realms in one go and directly cultivate the World of the Heart." Yunhua noticed the changes in his mental power and understood that all of this was within his expectations.

Yunhua had already mastered all the realms of mental power in one go; everything he had experienced in other worlds had been perfectly transformed into an accumulation of mental power. The only hurdle he couldn't overcome before was the "mortal realm."

But once he passes through the "mortal realm," he will be free from all shackles in his mental cultivation. He can instantly surpass everything, break through realms one after another, cross thresholds, and directly reach the highest sixth level. From then on, illusion influences reality, creating the "world of the heart."

The world of the mind is to a cultivator of mental power what the chaotic space of the Golden Core is to a cultivator of Qi Refining.

Only by opening up the world of the mind can one be considered a true practitioner of mental power.

"I have no flaws in the three major systems of this world: Qi Refining, Divine Demon Body Refining, and Mental Power Refining."

Yunhua thought to himself, "In a sense, this is also a kind of fulfillment, and it is the most important step for me to enter the eternal ultimate path of fire."
