Perfect World: Double Pupils Open the Heavens, Ascend to Immortality

Upon hearing this, Shi Yi's expression shifted slightly, and he thanked the creature for its kindness.

Seeing this, the old man thought that he had listened and would not do anything dangerous again. However, the next moment, Shi Yi leaped into the vast, bottomless abyss.

"what?"

The surrounding creatures were shocked. Throughout history, cultivators who had explored this place had always clung cautiously to the rock face, not daring to make any big movements. Yet this cultivator was so bold as to jump down directly, which was truly terrifying.

"How is it? Has he disappeared?"

"They should have fallen to the bottom of the Black Abyss. Jumping straight down is too fast; they won't be able to grab the smooth cliff face. Symbols and patterns will appear on it, bouncing the cultivator away." An experienced being sighed and shook his head.

"He's not dead, he's still alive, just over a hundred feet below, his huge hand firmly gripping the rock face." Someone used their Heavenly Eye to see the scene below.

Upon hearing this, everyone present was deeply moved. What kind of strength was this? He leaped down, falling more than a hundred feet, and still managed to grab onto the rock face.

Seeing Shi Yi so relaxed and composed, several cultivators couldn't resist and followed suit, climbing downwards.

Although the many treasures and divine materials on the Black Abyss cliffs have been almost completely excavated by explorers over the ages, any finds are still fiercely contested by the native inhabitants, who have an immense interest in what lies beneath the Black Abyss.

For countless ages, the original inhabitants of Xian Gu have been plagued by the power of the curse, and they are eager to find a solution. What lies beneath the Black Abyss may be a glimmer of hope.

Shi Yi also saw those figures, but he didn't care and continued downwards.

Before reaching a hundred feet, the runes overflowing from the cliff face were relatively safe for cultivators at the Divine Fire Realm. However, beyond a hundred feet, they gradually became terrifying, so eerie as to be chilling.

Undeterred, Shi Yi channeled two streams of immortal energy between his fingers and descended rapidly, reaching a distance of seven hundred feet in the blink of an eye. Along the way, he saw many fragments of weapons stuck in the cliff face. Many of these fragments were made of astonishingly precious materials, but he did not stop. For him, materials that were not at the Immortal Gold level were not of much use.

Soon after, he arrived at a depth of 1,800 feet. Even someone as strong as Shi Yi felt a sense of unease upon reaching this place, sensing danger.

The runes spreading from the cliff face were already a threat to him; if he was not careful, he would be knocked down and fall into the endless abyss.

“This Black Abyss is 100,000 zhang deep. With my strength, it would be difficult to go down to 1,800 zhang. It’s impossible to get to the bottom on my own.” Shi Yi shook his head.

He took out his trump card, a tattered suit of armor riddled with holes—the Thunder Emperor Armor.

Without this thing, if you want to get to the bottom, you can only do a leap of faith and then vanish into thin air.

The moment Shi Yi put on the Thunder Emperor Armor, the armor immediately reacted, emitting an exceptionally brilliant light. Instantly, Shi Yi felt a warm sensation all over his body, and the chilling feeling vanished without a trace.

"My God, a divine treasure has appeared beneath the Black Abyss, and it's glowing there."

The people on the Black Abyss saw the light emanating from the Thunder Emperor's armor and were all shocked beyond measure, thinking it was the birth of a divine treasure.

Below, after Shi Yi put on his armor, the repulsive runes on the cliff wall stopped emanating. It resonated with the place in some way, and even the rust spots became incredibly bright.

All of this was within Shi Yi's expectations.

This Black Abyss was a vast battlefield in the ancient times of the Immortals. Ancestral Sacrifice Spirit, True Phoenix, Kunpeng, Thunder Emperor, and others fought here, killing countless immortals. It is only natural that Thunder Emperor's armor resonates with this place.

With the protection of the Thunder Emperor's armor, the journey became much easier, with no danger whatsoever. Shi Yi descended directly to a distance of eight thousand feet, where he discovered traces left by the Thunder Emperor in battle.

A streak of electricity, radiating light, was dazzling in the darkness, and the Thunder Emperor's armor reacted, spewing out a soft light.

At 13,000 feet, Shi Yi discovered traces of the battle fought by Kunpeng. Having mastered the Kunpeng Technique, he couldn't help but resonate with it, and a pair of Taiyin Wings naturally appeared and began to operate there.

On the cliff face, broken feathers and shattered scales belong to Kunpeng, one of the Ten Fiends.

Not far away was a pool of thick blood left by her opponent, eerie and exuding a demonic power.

Shi Yi did not approach rashly. The battles of the strongest people in the past, even though they were separated by thousands of years, still left behind the Dao principles that were clashing. If they were triggered, the consequences would be immeasurable.

At 50,000 feet, Shi Yi discovered traces left by another of the Ten Fiends in battle.

On the rough stone wall, a large pool of blood was almost worn away, with some True Phoenix feathers stuck in it. Over countless years, the bloodstains had been suppressed by the True Phoenix feathers, but now they were almost worn away and turned into nothingness.

The path was marked with traces of powerful figures, making it hard to imagine the fierce battles that had taken place.

The altar at the bottom of the Black Abyss may be their only way out, carrying their hope. That's why these powerful warriors fight endlessly to protect this place.

When we reached over 90,000 zhang, we were extremely close to the bottom, and we could hear a whistling sound coming from below.

This place was pitch black, so dark you couldn't see your hand in front of your face, but you could clearly see a golden willow branch covered with golden leaves.

It was nailed to the cliff face, killing a living being and leaving behind its remains.

With Shi Yi's arrival, the remains of this alien creature shattered into dust, leaving only golden willow branches quietly stuck in the cliff face.

Shi Yi hesitated for a moment, but ultimately did not approach.

The feedback from the Ancient Lamp of Cause and Effect gave him the answer to the question of whether or not to take the willow branches.

The Willow God is still alive. If he takes the willow branches, he will be creating a karmic burden for himself, which is unnecessary.

Giving up on grasping the willow branch, Shi Yi continued downwards. His ultimate goal was the altar; nothing else mattered, and there was no need to complicate matters.

As time went by, Shi Yi finally reached the bottom of the Black Abyss. So far, he has descended more than 100,000 zhang.

Beneath the abyss lies a world of skeletons, filled with the remains of all kinds of creatures, a veritable land of death.

Shi Yi knew that this was all formed by the creatures that fell from above. Since ancient times, countless creatures have explored this dark abyss. Once an accident occurred, there was no chance of survival. They all fell here and their souls flew away.

He glanced at the skeletons briefly, then turned his attention to something in the darkness.

It was an ancient altar, vast and imposing, exuding a hazy, chaotic aura, as if it existed alongside heaven and earth, eternal and timeless.

This is precisely Shi Yi's goal for this trip.

Back then, the Immortal Ancient Era ended, this realm was defeated, and the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin carried the last hope as it escaped from this altar and sailed into the endless turbulent flow of time and space.

That is why it is related to time and space. Shi Yi needs the sacred object of the Way of Space as a carrier to carry the spatial symbols back to the forbidden sea of ​​suffering. Therefore, he came here.

The altar was incomplete, having been attacked by a supreme being and half destroyed, but its magnificent aura and indescribable sense of vicissitude still made people tremble and unable to resist the urge to kneel down, worship, and kowtow before it.

Most terrifyingly, the altar was splattered with blood of various colors—purple, black, red, silver… each exuding a chilling killing intent. The runes within remained indelible, still terrifying beyond measure.

Clearly, a fierce battle took place here.

Shi Yi moved forward, approaching the altar. Suddenly, with a loud "boom," as if the world had just begun to open and chaos was beginning to form, some scenes appeared before Shi Yi's eyes. He saw immortal beings and immortals fighting fiercely, and he saw some beings sinking into the bronze coffin. Nine dragons pulled the coffin, using the altar to break through the blockade and head towards the unknown world.

Chapter 261 Breakthrough

This was the final, tragic battle of the Immortal Ancient Era, in which the most powerful figures perished and the entire ancient realm suffered a crushing defeat.

Shi Yi felt the same way. For him, the alien realm was also a great threat. He knew that it wouldn't be long before that realm would make a comeback.

Just then, a wave emanated from the altar and resonated with an object in Shi Yi's hand.

He took out a glowing object, which was a small shield formed from the spirit of the Endless Bell.

Immediately afterwards, a scene appeared on the altar: several incredibly powerful beings escorted a woman onto the altar, who held a small shield in her hand, with countless beings behind her, performing sacrifices and chanting.

These creatures are all very special, exceptionally talented and unparalleled throughout history, but their faces are very blurry and cannot be clearly seen.

But Shi Yi could guess their identities with his bare hands; the woman they sent was undoubtedly Ye Qingxian, who had traveled through time to the present world.

The scene depicted on the altar is a scene that will take place in the future.

However, when they were in the City of Heaven, Shi Yi promised to help the beings of the Shrouding Heaven lineage. Ye Qingxian believed him and chose to cut her losses in time and return to her own era.

This means that they are unlikely to appear frequently in the Chaotic Ancient Era.

Just like the famous confrontation between heaven and earth, in this life, it is very likely that no Emperor Ye will arrive riding on the cauldron.

Soon after, the scene on the altar disappeared, and the peace of the day was restored.

Shi Yi opened his Taiyin Double Pupil, activating this eye to its fullest extent, and scanned the half-ruined, magnificent altar in front of him.

It not only opened a path to survival for the remnants of the Immortal Ancient Army trapped in a desperate situation in ancient times, but was also discovered by the people of the Shrouding Heaven lineage in the future, becoming a bridge for Ye Qingxian to travel through the chaotic ancient era. It must have its unique features, involving time and space.

Soon, Shi Yi made a discovery: through the broken layers of the altar, he saw something buried deep within.

It was an incredibly profound Tai Chi diagram, and the spatial fluctuations emanating from the altar originated from it.

Although the altar had been attacked and was half destroyed, the Tai Chi diagram remained intact, floating in the core area.

"It should work."

Shi Yi muttered to himself, his expression showing some excitement.

This is the final piece of the puzzle for his three paths of immortal energy circling his body. Finding it at the bottom of this 100,000-foot-deep black abyss, he must be said to be lucky.

The problem now is how to get to the altar and obtain this Tai Chi diagram.

It should be noted that the altar was stained with the blood of various immortals, and the killing intent was overflowing. What was even more terrifying was that the space-time on the altar was very unstable. If an ancient herb was thrown over there, it might instantly revert to a seedling and turn into nothingness, or it might instantly become an old herb. It was extremely unstable.

The most worrying thing is the spatial aspect. If things go wrong, Shi Yi could be transported to an unknown space and unable to find his way back.

After thinking it over for a while, Shi Yi sighed and decided to take the risk.

He was wearing the Thunder Emperor Armor, the Ring of Time appeared on his wrist, and he held a small Soul-Belling Shield in his palm.

Shi Yi tried to activate the small shield that had been dormant, and to his delight, it actually reacted.

The scene in the world of time is recreated. Strands of time threads shoot out from the Bell Soul Shield, each one encompassing an ancient history. In the end, they converge and intertwine to form a time-themed robe, which is draped over Shi Yi's back.

At the same time, Shi Yi activated the Forbidden Sea of ​​Bitterness on the Cave Heaven Divine Ring. The Future Dao Flower, the Ancient Lamp of Cause and Effect, and the Heavenly Fate Tortoise Shell all shone brightly, flowing down endless secret power to envelop Shi Yi's true body. The symbol representing space also appeared, drawing upon the power of space to protect Shi Yi.

In this state, he walked toward the dilapidated altar and finally succeeded in climbing it.

Pools of immortal blood lay scattered about, radiating a killing intent that pierced through eternity, while a strange spatial and temporal power permeated every inch of space... All dangers were kept at bay by the aura surrounding Shi Yi, preventing them from getting close.

He came to the area where the Tai Chi diagram was located and tried to grasp it.

Unexpectedly, the whole process went smoothly without any obstacles.

Upon obtaining the Tai Chi diagram, Shi Yi's Yin-type double pupils shone brightly, and the Yin-type origin within them resonated with it.

However, although their sources of power are similar, their manifestations are somewhat different.

The Great Dao is divided into Yin and Yang, and Yin and Yang are sufficient to encompass all things in the world. The Tai Chi diagram in Shi Yi's hand represents the Dao of Space.

The moment it was in hand, the symbol representing the Dao of Space disappeared into the Tai Chi diagram, activating the spatial power within it.

"Buzz!"

The Tai Chi diagram detached from Shi Yi's palm, slowly rising towards that forbidden sea of ​​suffering.

Shi Yi was somewhat bewildered. He could have prevented the symbols and the Taijiu diagram from merging immediately, but for some inexplicable reason, he didn't press the pause button and instead let the situation unfold.

Now, time waits for no one, and the trend of the Tai Chi diagram ascending into the sea of ​​suffering is unstoppable.

Shi Yi had no choice but to bite the bullet and sit down cross-legged on the altar.

He cleared his mind of all distractions and focused all his attention on the luminous Tai Chi diagram.

"boom!"

Shi Yi's Heavenly Ring erupted with dazzling light, and ten figures roared in unison, contributing their own strength. His physical body and his soul burst forth with unparalleled power, and two perfected immortal energies also exerted their strength, jointly pushing the Taiji Diagram towards that vast forbidden ocean.

"Crack!"

In the void, a bolt of lightning suddenly descended, striking Shi Yi directly and piercing a bloody hole in his arm.

Shi Yi grunted, but did not stop. Instead, he pushed the Tai Chi diagram even harder.

This is the final piece of the puzzle; three strands of immortal energy surround the body, and it is at this moment.

The first bolt of lightning was just the beginning. As time passed and the Taiji Diagram drew ever closer to the Forbidden Sea of ​​Bitterness, the bottom of the Black Abyss, and above the altar, even more calamities descended, falling like a torrential downpour, striking Shi Yi's physical body and his primordial spirit.

In a very short time, Shi Yi was riddled with holes, his body riddled with terrifying, grotesque bloody wounds, and in some places, bones were exposed and flesh was mangled.

His life force plummeted as a result, and he entered a state of exhaustion, which happened much faster than his previous three tribulations.

Fortunately, Shi Yi had collected enough rare and precious herbs during this period to help him get through it. The complete ginseng fruit tree alone was equivalent to countless divine herbs.

"Buzz!"

After taking the powerful medicine, Shi Yi's terrible condition was immediately relieved. He stabilized his injuries, and his life force began to rise rapidly.

However, the tribulation continued, with destructive lightning striking relentlessly, leaving no way out for those undergoing tribulation.

Shi Yi tried his best to hold on; this wasn't the first time he'd experienced something like this, and he was already quite adept at it.

Gradually, a balance was maintained between the two, but it wasn't a true balance. Shi Yi's condition was gradually declining, after all, this was the most terrifying of the four waves of tribulation.

The altar beneath Shi Yi's feet was also disturbed by the sudden calamity, like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, creating endless ripples.

The power of spacetime stirred up towering waves that swept across the sky, providing Shi Yi with an invisible boost. He could clearly feel an invisible hand helping him.

He also heard sacrificial chants from the ancient immortal era, as if countless beings were reciting scriptures for him.

Shi Yi's expression brightened, as if divinely aided, and he instantly accelerated his breakthrough.

The calamities falling from the sky became even more terrifying. The bloodstains and bone fragments scattered on the altar were stained with the power of the heavenly punishment, becoming eerie and bizarre.

He didn't know how much time had passed when a pool of silver blood suddenly twitched a few times, which Shi Yi caught in the corner of his eye. He thought he was seeing things. How could a true immortal who had been dead for countless years still be alive when his soul had been obliterated?
