Cultivating for a hundred lifetimes to ascension Chapter 1478 - 799: Magnificent Deeds of Creation

As soon as the words were uttered, the Mystic Yellow Giant Axe burst forth with lightning speed, morphing into an axe beam that eclipsed the heavens and blocked the sun, hurtling toward a spot within the emptiness.

In that instant, a stooped elder materialized from nowhere, letting out a chuckle while abruptly conjuring a crimson glow right in front of him.

The crimson radiance unleashed its glow, promptly generating boundless pulling force that devoured the sinister axe beam entirely.

Zhao Xuanjing's brow furrowed, he was on the verge of launching another attack, yet someone abruptly halted him:

"Fellow Daoist, stay your hand! Tuo Immortal merely seeks to gauge your power, harboring no ill intent."

Zhao Xuanjing turned toward the source of the voice and spotted an elder Taoist radiating an ethereal presence emerging from the shadows.

His face registered surprise, then he promptly clasped his hands in salute: "Xiang Long offers respects to Senior Wu."

"Painting Saint" Wu Hua had attained the Dao over hundreds of thousands of years. Renowned for his vast network, he had long been celebrated among Unification Realm companions.

Though Zhao Xuanjing had only recently entered Unification, he swiftly identified the elder's identity.

Tuo Immortal cast a glance at Zhao Xuanjing, then smirked at the elder Taoist: "Painting Fool, do you recognize this young fellow?"

Elder Taoist Wu Hua burst into laughter, nodding as he replied: "Tuo Immortal, your slumber has been too profound, leaving you unaware of the emerging talents in this realm. This young friend is the newly appointed Supreme Elder of the Spirit-controlling Immortal Sect. Achieving his own Grotto Heaven in under a thousand years makes him a true standout here."

"Hehe, so he's from the Spirit-controlling Immortal Sect. That explains it... I've been impolite!" Tuo Immortal snickered, his tone laced with mockery.

Zhao Xuanjing displayed no irritation on his face, instead smiling as he saluted: "Junior Zhao Xianglong pays respects to Senior Tuo Immortal. I've long heard tales of how you, a millennium ago, slew two Cave Void Demon Emperors alone—junior holds you in highest regard!"

"Ha ha, those are old stories, no need to dredge them up." Tuo Immortal appeared amused by the praise and laughed boisterously.

The elder Taoist observed the exchange and tossed in a light-hearted remark or two, easing the atmosphere.

Next, he directed his attention to the far-off Five Elements Thunder Tribulation, inquiring of Zhao Xuanjing: "Young friend Zhao, are you aware of who faces the tribulation over there?"

Zhao Xuanjing paused briefly, then responded gravely: "To speak truthfully to Senior Wu, the one enduring the tribulation is a junior of mine."

"Oh, could it be..." The elder Taoist murmured softly, a sudden realization dawning on him.

Meanwhile, Tuo Immortal felt profound astonishment, for among Void Half-Immortals, scarce few could ascend to Divine Palace Heaven, and even rarer were those who summoned the Five Elements Thunder Tribulation.

To invoke the Five Elements Thunder Tribulation and withstand it for so long was truly a rarity among ten thousand!

What did this signify? It indicated that the tribulating individual possessed a solid prospect of triumphing over the ordeal.

Tuo Immortal pondered deeply, unable to restrain himself as he asked: "What did you say? Is the one facing the tribulation truly of your kin?"

Zhao Xuanjing shot him a look and replied coolly: "I, Zhao, do not speak idly."

Tuo Immortal's face darkened, he swiveled to gaze at the waning might of the Five Elements Thunder Tribulation, a peculiar gleam dancing in his eyes.

Elder Taoist Wu Hua's features shifted subtly, then he sent a mental message across.

Upon receiving the transmission, Zhao Xuanjing arched an eyebrow faintly, followed by a subtle nod.

...

Such profound reserves from eight lifetimes!

As the Five Element Divine Thunder invaded the Grotto Heaven and shattered the Cave Heaven's natural laws, the depths of eight lifetimes finally unleashed in a single surge!

In prior times, he confronted the Star God, received the Star God's Dharma Transmission, and reshaped the Shattered Star Sea.

In prior times, he met his end alongside the Blood God, merging with the Heavenly Dao and witnessing the boundless spectacles of heaven and earth.

In prior times, he wandered into the Great Saint Thought Realm, gained the Gold Element Dao, and saw the Dao's true script multiply into thousands.

In prior times, he forged the True Immortal Demon Thought, obtained the Three Thousand True Dao Texts, and honed his will through countless trials, rendering it indomitable.

In prior times... all these coalesced into an endless base, and at the clash with the Thunder Tribulation, they fragmented into billions of insights, merging into this Grotto Heaven.

In a flash, the sea morphed into a miniature Shattered Star River, with myriad star gleams emerging from its waves.

In a flash, the land spawned infinite Five Elements Essence, Golden Essence drawing in thunder and breaking it apart.

In a flash, the Crystal Wall solidified into an impregnable fortress, myriad Taoist Laws interlacing and layering to form increasingly intricate, denser webs of Taoist Magic.

In a flash, earth, water, wind, and fire evolved into Five Elements Yin Yang, the Grotto Heaven shifting from phantom to solid, with space-time abruptly stabilizing manifold.

...

Time lost its measure, until the five-hued thunder ceased without warning, and the overhead black hole vanished completely.

Zhao Sheng extended his frame, his flesh and blood rapidly reforming over his bones, fully mending in an instant, his skin gleaming like flawless jade and radiating vital luster.

"Divine Thunder cleaves Chaos, separating the pure from the turbid.

Pure spirit transforms into cloud vapor, flying flame splits Mystic Yellow.

Turbid mist condenses into soil and stone, rain dew washes the wilderness.

Wind sweeps the remaining fog away, dew moistens and nurtures hundreds of grasses.

Giant spirit stomps and cracks the sky, one thought sets heavenly rules.

Brilliantly radiant throughout eight wildernesses, four seasons follow its outline.

How magnificent is the pioneering work, grandly establishing the firmament."

From the void rang a resounding epic chant, its echoes shaking the nine heavens and rippling through boundless space-time.

Zhao Xuanjing, Painting Saint, and Tuo Immortal all felt a stir!

"Succeeded... succeeded! Ha ha, at last, success!" Zhao Xuanjing roared with laughter, his features alight with unrestrained delight.

Just then, a figure approached on multicolored clouds, gliding in from the distance.

Crossing tens of thousands of miles of space-time in a heartbeat, he landed before the trio of Integration Realm powerhouses.

A glorious purple halo bloomed behind Zhao Sheng's head; he smiled at Zhao Xuanjing and bowed low: "Gratitude to Ancestor Jing for your safeguarding—junior has not failed you, my Dao is now complete!"

Seeing this, Zhao Xuanjing quickly urged: "Rise at once; your success brings immense fortune to our clan. Henceforth, we stand as equals. Now, let me hear you say 'big brother'."

"Big Brother!" Zhao Sheng rose straight, proclaiming it with bold confidence.

"Excellent, excellent, excellent!" Zhao Xuanjing's grin stretched wide, barely contained.

Not only him, but Painting Saint and Tuo Immortal watched the pair with unmistakable envy.

None grasped more clearly than they the significance of a single race birthing two Integration Realm titans at once.

From this point, the duo could share freely, delving into endless discussions, with cultivation gains beyond measure.

After bantering with Zhao Xuanjing, Zhao Sheng turned and bowed profoundly to Painting Saint: "Junior Zhao Xi greets Senior Painting Saint. Your gift of the painting is a debt junior shall eternally remember and one day repay in full."

"A trifling gesture, no need to dwell on it!" Elder Taoist Wu Hua dismissed it casually with a wave: "With your Dao now unified, we shall address one another as fellow daoists going forward."

At that juncture, Tuo Immortal cut in abruptly: "Painting Fool, you always play the benevolent role. Who knew you'd do a genuine favor this time. Fellow Daoist, I, Baituo Immortal, greet you."

Zhao Sheng looked over and saluted with clasped hands: "Zhao Xi greets Daoist Bai Tuo."

"Hehe"

...

In the Unknown Star River, a colossal Great Sun loomed amid the stars, pouring out infinite light and heat.

Upon its vast, scorching expanse, a massive crater abruptly formed spanning untold miles, from which a pair of blazing colossal wings extended.

Soon after, a majestic and peerless fiery behemoth unfurled its wings and ascended skyward, whipping up boundless flames across the Great Sun's face.

The behemoth perched atop the Great Sun, its eyes snapping open to unleash twin beams of fire stretching billions of miles into the endless void.

"...To the west, I feel it... it's there! You cannot flee."

A phoenix cry resounded through the void, once more igniting towering waves of flame.

The fiery behemoth dove into the Great Sun's core, vanishing in a twinkling.

When it reemerged, it was deep within another Great Sun, nearly a hundred Constant Years distant.

Great Sun Transposition!

Legendary Fire Element
