Chapter 1194 The Ending
“Hades True Immortal is dead!”
It was Zhang Fan who spoke, but Xuan Tianzong’s voice rang out.
His words were mixed with joy and incomparable shock. It was like a kind of disbelief and also a kind of relief. At the moment when he saw the soul essence of Hades True Immortal being swallowed by the golden thunder liquid, the ancestor of all immortals felt as if a lifetime had passed, and he could hardly believe his own eyes.
He stared at the endless sea of golden Lightning Disaster as if he was afraid that the illusory image of the immortal ghost would reappear and gather again in the next moment.
Because this scene had happened too many times in the past.
Every time Xuan Tianzong thought that he had finally killed Hades True Immortal, this vengeful spirit would appear again.
Fortunately, this time, it didn’t happen.
The endless sea of golden thunder liquid completely annihilated the illusion of Hades True Immortal. Faintly, one could see black mist struggling in the thunder liquid as if it was going to gather together again. But in the end, it didn’t succeed. It was drowned and completely washed away by the supreme Yang power between heaven and earth.
“We need to get out of here now. We can’t resist the Saber and Sword Addict’s Heaven Disaster!”
Xuan Tianzong once again spoke up.
This was the last time he could speak in Zhang Fan’s body.
In the next moment, Bai Qifeng, Mu Tianyang, and the others immediately retreated and avoided the endless strange sea of thunder liquid in an instant. That kind of power was too horrifying. Even a trace of golden lightning was enough to kill them in an instant. Even the ultimate essence of the undying dark Power of the Origin of Hades True Immortal was almost killed in an instant, let alone them.
Xuan Tianzong withdrew from Zhang Fan’s body and turned into a white shadow. Looking up at the endless thunder and lightning of the Heaven Disaster, his eyes flashed with a kind of complicated light, which included envy, jealousy, unwillingness, relief, and sighs.
Mu Tianyang’s eyes were also shining with immortal light. It was unknown what he was thinking.
He wanted to use his pupil technique to see Ding Hao’s specific situation through the golden sea of thunder and lightning, but he found that he could not do it with his own strength. He could only cast a glance at the sea of thunder that was less than a few hundred meters long, and he could not see it clearly at all.
Bai Qifeng, the No.1 Superior of the Immortal Tao on the Divine Central Continent, was shocked.
Even though he was hundreds of miles away, the power of the sea of thunder still made his body crack. Even in the face of the occasional overflowing sea of thunder and lightning, he still felt as small as an ant. He knew that Ding Hao’s current realm was so high that he would never be able to catch up with him in his life. Only Ding Hao, with his formidable strength, could face such Lightning Disaster and hold on.
“What a peerless genius. I didn’t expect that he would kill Hades True Immortal in this way.” Xuan Tianzong sighed and said, “Only in this way can he kill that eternal disaster. There is no Heaven Disaster in the Saintly Being of Saber and Sword, but he has activated it. It is precisely because the Heaven Disaster that has been activated should not exist in this world that he can kill Hades!”
Mu Tianyang didn’t say anything.
The shadow of Xuan Tianzong flashed and then returned to Mu Tianyang’s body.
Zhang Fan stood quietly in the sea. His body had become immortal, so he could naturally freeze the void with his magical power.
More and more people gradually appeared in the surroundings. Countless experts looked at the terrifying golden sea of thunderclouds in the distance in horror. They came from all directions and were all shocked by the power of the golden sea of thunder. When they saw such a terrifying sign with their own eyes, they were even more frightened. Some people didn’t even dare to look at the golden sea of thunder liquid. The relatively weak Immortal Tao experts were directly blinded by the golden light.
When people saw the figure of the White-Robed Emperor, Mu Tianyang, they were stunned.
“How could a dead person actually appear again?
“Could it be that Mu Tianyang didn’t die in the battle of Frozen Peak… But if that’s the case, does it mean that Ding Hao lied to the world?
“What the hell is going on?”
“Brother Tianyang…” With a cry of joy, Liu Lingzui, with snow-white hair, appeared in the distance. When she saw Mu Tianyang, she trembled. The next moment, she rushed madly toward Mu Tianyang.
Mu Tianyang smiled slightly. He opened his arms and gently held the white-haired woman in his arms for a long time.
Soon, the people of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect also appeared.
The sect leaders, supreme masters, and higher-ups of the various top powers of the Heaven Path world also appeared successively.
Soon, everyone figured out what was going on. It turned out that Ding Hao going through God’s tests had caused the world-destroying golden sea of thunder.
“Is Ding Hao finally going through God’s tests?”
“He’s worthy of being the most powerful expert in the world. This is so terrifying. Once he succeeds in going through God’s tests, I wonder what realm he will reach!”
Everyone’s expressions changed.
“But if he succeeds in going through God’s tests, he will obtain eternity for real.” Mu Tianyang looked at the golden sea of thunder and slowly said, “He will be the first person who has ever achieved that in history and… the dominator of this world!”
These words were obviously said by Xuan Tianzong, and Mu Tianyang was just passing on the message.
Everyone looked shocked.
However, Mu Tianyang spoke again. “It’s just that… if he can’t survive this Heaven Disaster, everything will be in vain…” Mu Tianyang’s eyes swept across the void and he said, “But no matter what, this world must always remember his kindness, because all of you, including even the flowers, trees, grass, and trees in this world, get to live on because of him.”
When everyone heard this, they were immediately confused.
Only a few people seemed to have understood something.
At this moment, there were ripples in the distant sky, and powerful energy fluctuations were surging in the void. Everyone turned their heads and saw an arched light gate slowly emerging in the void, and a strange Reincarnation Power was coming out of the light gate.
Then, some figures walked out of it.
“That’s… the God of War of Mysterious Frost in the Northern Region!” Someone recognized the leading figure at first glance and was immediately shocked. It was the God of War of Mystic Frost in the Northern Region, who had never shown up for more than 200 years.
“And the Central Region Supreme God of War!”
“Heavens… it’s the Demon God of the Demon God Palace in the Northern Region…”
“As well as Lord Buddha of the Great Leiyin Monastery!”
As figures came out of the light gate one after another, the crowd who had come to watch the sea of thunder suddenly burst into an unstoppable uproar.
They seemed to have gone crazy because many people recognized that the ten figures who came out of the light gate were exactly the ten figures who had disappeared from the Heaven Path world two hundred years ago. They were the War Gods who had once dominated the Karmic Luck of the Human Clan and the Demon Clan in the five major regions of the Land of Infinity.
They used to be the most supreme beings.
To the warriors of that era, the War Gods were not to be provoked.
But now that the rules and tides of power in the Heaven Path world had been restored, countless immortal experts had emerged. Experts at the War God Realm were almost everywhere. Such experts could no longer be considered top-level figures.
At first, people were extremely shocked. Some of them recalled the invincible postures of the ten War Gods and suddenly felt that they were inferior. They were about to worship them, but in an instant, they remembered that they were already immortals, so why did they have to be so respectful to those God Realm Masters?
Some people even sneered. They had been overwhelmed by one of the ten figures in the past. When they suddenly saw the ten people, they were shocked and then remembered their old grudges, so they wanted to take action.
It seemed that these ten people had been trapped somewhere. They should’ve broken the mysterious barrier at the place where they had been trapped and finally escaped because of Ding Hao’s tribulation power at the moment.
Did they know that the outside world had undergone an earth-shattering change?
But soon, everyone was stunned.
The God of War of Mysterious Frost in the Northern Region glanced around. His eyes were shining as he said, “The Divine Emperor of the Saber and Sword is going through God’s tests. All the outsiders must leave immediately to avoid disturbing him. No one is allowed to observe it.”
Before he could finish speaking, each of the ten figures emitted surging energy and aura.
The auras coming from these ten God Realm Masters were not the auras they had in the past. They were obviously the incomparably bright power of the Immortal Tao rules. This kind of power was so overwhelming that it was endless as if it could overturn the mountains and seas. It was ceaseless, like ten insurmountable ancient peaks, hovering between heaven and earth.
These were clearly the auras that only high-level immortal cultivators had.
These ten supreme figures of the past were now high-level masters in the Immortal Tao.
Each of their auras was much stronger than that of Bai Qifeng, known as the top Immortal Tao master on the Divine Central Continent. Even the most powerful Immortal Tao masters among the crowd felt a sense of suffocation.
Two hundred years had passed, and these ten people were still powerful enough to suppress the world.
Their strength was still not something to be provoked.
“The strong will always be the strong. Even if they haven’t shown up for a hundred years, it doesn’t mean that they have declined. They just don’t want to show up. It’s wishful thinking to crush them…” Someone sighed. The cultivation of the Immortal Tao was endless. Since all the people around could become immortals, how could the past ten supreme beings lag behind?
Everyone retreated.
No one dared to disobey the words of the God of War of Mysterious Frost.
In the void, the light gate gradually dimmed. The ten supreme masters did not say anything more. Instead, they each occupied a place and sat cross-legged in the void. They released their powerful immortal power and directly sealed the area of Ding Hao’s tribulation lightning and thunder from all directions.
“They’re sealing this land to prevent the extremely destructive tribulation light of the sea of thunder from leaking out. Even a little leak is very likely to destroy a region!” Mu Tianyang was lost in thought.
He took a glance at that region of space and then turned around, walking away step by step.
“In addition to the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect and the close relatives and friends of Ding Hao, no one is allowed to appear within a radius of a million miles of the sea of thunder. Otherwise, you will be the enemy of the White-Robed Divine Palace.”
The voice of the White-Robed Emperor drifted through the heavens and the earth. Mu Tianyang vanished along with Liu Lingzui’s figure.
At the same time, the people of the White-Robed Divine Palace also left without hesitation.
The other hundreds of thousands of experts looked at each other in dismay. They did not expect the White-Robed Emperor to choose to protect Ding Hao. The reason why he asked everyone to leave was that he did not want Ding Hao’s tribulation to be disturbed. He was clearly Ding Hao’s enemy. Why did he make such a choice?
However, now that Ding Hao was going through God’s tests, Mu Tianyang was almost the most powerful expert in the Immortal Tao. In addition, Ding Hao’s relatives and friends, such as Fang Tianyi the Sword God, Zhang Fan the Mad Saber, the Pig Immortal, the Great Ape King, and others, were all top figures in this world. They were certainly on Ding Hao’s side. Therefore, although everyone wanted to observe this sea of thunder to improve their insights and cultivation, they did not dare to stay within a radius of a million miles.
In the blink of an eye, the figures of practically all the living beings in this region had vanished as they chose to leave.
Most of the people from the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect left.
Only Li Lan, Ximen Qianxue, Li Yiruo, Xie Jieyu, Zhang Fan, Fang Tianyi, Wang Juefeng, and others stayed, still staring at the sea of thunder and tribulation light. They couldn’t see through the exact situation, but they were sure that as long as the thunder and lightning existed, Ding Hao was still alive and fighting against the Lightning Disaster.
They had to wait until the Heaven Disaster ended when Ding Hao would come back safely.
However, no one had expected that they would have to wait for a hundred years.
For more than a hundred years, the tribulation light of this sea of thunder had never disappeared, nor had Ding Hao appeared. The ten supreme masters had never left. They sealed the power of this golden sea of thunder and turned it into a forbidden area within a radius of a million miles.
There were all sorts of rumors in the outside world.
Some people said that Ding Hao had failed God’s tests, and the reason why the Heaven Disaster did not disappear was because of the uniqueness of the golden sea of thunder.
Some people said that Ding Hao still existed, and he deliberately did not end his Heaven Disaster. He wanted to bathe himself with the tribulation light of the golden sea of thunder, be reborn, break through the Immortal Tao Realm, and obtain eternity in one go.
All kinds of stories and legends about Ding Hao had spread between heaven and earth.
The words Divine Emperor of the Saber and Sword had become a title that all living beings in the Heaven Path world could only look up to.
No matter how many newcomers and geniuses appeared during this period, they would all be compared with Ding Hao, but no one had ever been able to be a match for him. In the past 100 years, the situation in the Heaven Path world had been changing, but there had never been a big war. Although all the major forces had some ambitious people, all their ambitions had to be suppressed when they thought of the golden sea of thunder that had been surging and existing between heaven and earth.
No matter what the rumors outside were, those who were really in a high position knew very well that Ding Hao had not died. He had been fighting against the golden sea of Lightning Disaster for a hundred years. As long as a trace of lightning overflowed from the sea of thunder, it was enough to kill the strongest immortal at that time. Ding Hao, the Divine Emperor of the Saber and Sword, had fought against it for a whole century.
That kind of strength and realm was beyond the imagination of the living creatures in the Heaven Path world.
The White-Robed Emperor had once said that once Ding Hao successfully went through God’s tests, he would achieve eternity and become the only dominator of this world. He would become the eternal being within the six paths and the supreme being in countless epochs to come. This judgment had been recognized and accepted by more and more masters of the Immortal Tao.
Now the only question was whether Ding Hao could hold on.
When would he be able to walk out of this golden sea of thunder and establish his own era?
…
On this day.
Li Lan and the other three women, as usual, sat in front of the floating hall and quietly watched the golden sea of thunder.
As early as 80 years ago, Li Lan removed herself from the position of the Sect Master of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect and passed it on to Ding Chunqiu.
In the past hundred years, Ding Hao’s four wives had been waiting at the edge of the sea of thunder for their husband to return.
At this time of the year, many of their relatives and friends would appear, such as Wen Duoqing, Ding Ke’er and her husband, Pig Immortal, Great Ape King, Golden Cicada, Mermaid Queen of the Sea Clan, Great Phoenix Saint, Liang Feixue, Feng Ning. Even the White-Robed Emperor, Mu Tianyang, would show up at the edge of the sea of thunder. They would gather there to make wine, drink tea, and discuss the Tao, which could be regarded as a distant meeting with Ding Hao.
Ding Shengtan and his wife would also be there.
The Six Paths of Reincarnation had restarted. Ding Ke’er could also take Ding Shengtan and his wife to travel between Earth, the Human Path world, and the Heaven Path world. However, Ding Shengtan and Yu Qingcheng had gotten used to living a peaceful and stable life on Earth. Most of the time, they would choose to stay there.
Every year, they would come to see Ding Hao. For Ding Shengtan and his wife on Earth, they came once a day.
Now it was the time of the year.
Everyone appeared around the floating palace hall.
Fang Tianyi looked at the sea of thunder and said, “I wonder when Senior Brother Ding will come out. He has been going through God’s tests for a hundred years, and this is unprecedented…”
“Brother Hao will come out sooner or later,” Li Lan said with a smile, her expression calm and gentle.
After a hundred years of waiting, from the initial anxiety to the gentle calm now, Ding Hao’s four wives had gradually gotten used to this kind of waiting. They looked at the sea of thunder every day and felt as if their husband was around. They were more and more sure that Ding Hao would succeed in going through God’s tests and get out of that sea of thunder.
“The good guy will be fine. The good guy will eat meat with me…” Although Nalan Youxia was now an Immortal Tao expert, he was still delirious, and most of the time he was ignorant and muddled along.
“The White-Robed Emperor is here again.” An astonishingly beautiful young woman stared at the distant skies.
Her features were very similar to Nalan Chu’s of the past. In fact, she was also Nalan Chu. This body was refined from a strange stone of a mysterious entity, and it was just like a flesh embryo.
In the distance.
The White-Robed Emperor appeared, accompanied by the empress, Liu Lingzui.
A hundred years ago, the White-robed Emperor got married to Liu Lingzui, the No. 1 Martial Demigoddess on the Divine Central Continent. At that time, the entire White-Robed Divine Palace was in a state of jubilation. It was once a legend in the Heaven Path world. Now they had a son, Mu Yunrui, the heir apparent to the throne of the White-Robed Divine Palace.
Mu Yunrui’s talent was amazing, and his aptitude was even above Mu Tianyang’s. He was a famous genius, but what surprised countless people was that he did not inherit the Taoist technique of the White-Robed Emperor, Mu Tianyang. Instead, he joined the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect. It was also a legend, and what was more amazing was that the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect really accepted this genius and focused on training him.
“I have the feeling that he’s about to come out today.” The White-Robed Emperor stared at the endless golden sea of thunder.
“The time limit of a hundred years is up. It’s time for him to come out.” A young man in white appeared and spoke in a slightly old-fashioned manner. This was the new body of Xuan Tianzong in this world, the former ancestor of all immortals. His strength had not yet recovered, and he had been in seclusion. Only Mu Tianyang knew his whereabouts.
“Greetings, Master Devil!” The White-Robed Emperor and his wife bowed.
While they were talking, the ten figures guarding the sea of thunder like Devils suddenly moved slowly. They no longer sat cross-legged and slowly stood up.
At this moment, countless gazes landed on the sea of thunder, and countless hearts were in their mouths.
The next moment, the golden sea of thunder all over the sky shrank toward a central point like a whale sucking water. In the blink of an eye, the sea of thunder within thousands of miles disappeared, and a figure in a cyan robe, like jade, appeared. He slightly opened his mouth, and the last wisp of golden thunder liquid entered it.
He had actually absorbed the Lightning Disaster that filled the sky into his body.
Who else could this jade-like figure in cyan be but Ding Hao?
“Thank you for your help, seniors.” Ding Hao cupped his hands and said, “A hundred years ago, if you hadn’t found the backup plan set up by Hades True Immortal in the Beast Path and destroyed it, he would have escaped at that time. You have done a great job and guarded the sea of thunder for me for a hundred years. You shall enter the Eternal Realm now!”
As soon as he finished speaking, endless immortal light and holy sounds permeated the air. Ten beams of light fell from the void and shone on the ten people, cleansing the impurities and sending a mysterious force into their bodies.
“What…”
“His words can decide the rules of heaven and earth and determine the eternal status of others. This… Oh my god, has Ding Hao not entered the Eternal Realm but has already transcended it?”
The ten supreme masters felt the changes in the power in their bodies. At this moment, it was a very mysterious feeling, which made them shocked and delighted as they found it incredible.
Ding Hao had helped ten people achieve the Eternal Realm with just his words alone. This was simply shocking. Was there a realm above the Eternal Realm?
After Ding Hao finished speaking, he flashed and came to other friends, parents, and wives.
“I’m back.” Ding Hao smiled. It was as if he had never left.
Everyone was ecstatic.
“Father, mother!” Ding Hao smiled at Ding Shengtan and Yu Qingcheng.
“Boy, it took you quite a long time. How many rounds have you delayed me from playing the Heroes’ League…” Ding Shengtan scolded.
Ding Hao smiled slightly and his eyes fell on Nalan Chu. “Good job, Chu. You’ve cultivated a mysterious entity body and finally made another way.”
The third force existing in Zhang Fan’s body that day was Nalan Chu. Nalan Chu, who had practiced the Mind Essential, was a soul body with cultivation and spirit. She had been nourished by Nalan Youxia’s immortal aura. Her soul power was powerful, and it was the power of Taiyin, which could faintly restrain Nalan Youxia. Moreover, with Nalan Chu around, Zhang Fan did not have to worry that something unexpected would happen to his body if Xuan Tianzong coveted it.
“Good guy, let’s eat…” Nalan Youxia came over.
Ding Hao smiled slightly. After he ran his power a bit, Nalan Youxia was suddenly in a daze. The expression on his face was no longer confused. As if he had finally woken up from a long-term dream, his dull eyes became clear.
“My… Sister… Master…” Tears rolled down Nalan Youxia’s cheeks.
Ding Hao didn’t say anything more. He opened his arms and hugged his four beautiful wives at the same time. He laughed and looked at Zhang Fan, Fang Tianyi, and the others. He only felt that this was the happiest and most relaxed moment in his life.
