Twenty-eight cultivators from the Golden Dragon Immortal Realm successfully underwent their celestial tribulations simultaneously, ascending to the Supreme Origin Realm. They were all equipped with ninth-grade immortal artifacts, which began rapidly metamorphosing. However, they soon found themselves surrounded by celestial demons who eyed their artifacts with intense greed, turning the joy of ascension into apprehension.

"Could it be that once a ninth-grade immortal artifact is brought into the Supreme Origin Realm, it undergoes a special metamorphosis unlike the eighth-grade immortal artifacts?"

The Sect Leader Qiu of the Divine Dynasty Immortal Sect, Elder Qiu, Sect Leader Guangqing, and a few other Initial Tier Celestial Immortals heard this and nodded gravely.

Among them, Elder Qiu frowned and said, "In our Divine Dynasty Immortal Sect’s ancient texts, there are a few records from the ancient, remote, and middle ages about cultivators who relied on ninth-grade immortal artifacts to pass the final celestial tribulation. But the recorders of those texts could never determine what kind of metamorphosis these ninth-grade immortal artifacts underwent after their owners successfully ascended to the Supreme Origin Realm!"

Some of the other Initial Tier Celestial Immortals focused their attention on the surrounding hundreds of Celestial Demons, each showing a troubled expression.

After cultivating for hundreds of thousands of years, they were fortunate enough to encounter Lin Xuankong, an artifact refining master, and managed to safely pass their respective final celestial tribulations using the ninth-grade immortal artifacts Lin Xuankong bestowed upon them. But before they could even celebrate, they fell into the encirclement of the Celestial Demon Race. How could they not be troubled!

The hundreds of Celestial Demons around them remained silent, their gaze fixed on the ninth-grade immortal artifacts in the hands of the Initial Tier Celestial Immortals, as if the rewards for the task given by the Cyan Wood Celestial Demon were less alluring than the rapidly metamorphosing ninth-grade immortal artifacts!

In the center of the Immortal Slaying Thousand Demon Array, the Red-haired Celestial Demon, upon hearing the comments of the Great Success Yu Zhen Bodhisattva, sneered coldly.

"Hmph, what a bunch of ignorant fools!

They are just some Little Celestial Immortals who have newly ascended to the Supreme Origin Realm. How would they know the benefits of a ninth-grade immortal artifact?

However, it wouldn’t hurt to tell you, so you can understand before entering the Red Water Prison as aware prisoners!

How can ninth-grade immortal artifacts be compared to eighth-grade or seventh-grade immortal artifacts? Each ninth-grade immortal artifact born in the lower realms, perfect or not, regardless of the level of refining, is a divine artifact seed containing a sliver of the world origin from the small worlds below! After all, the materials used to refine a ninth-grade immortal artifact, even scrap pieces of heavenly materials and earthly treasures, are inevitably formed from the essence of heaven and earth!

And once a cultivator from the small world below brings the ninth-grade immortal artifact when crossing the final celestial tribulation to ascend to the Supreme Origin Realm, there is a chance for these ninth-grade immortal artifacts, as divine artifact seeds, to grow into genuine initial tier divine artifacts. Although just initial tier, they possess endless growth potential and tremendous power, which even celestial immortals, celestial demons, and celestial buddhas at the Minor Success Realm may not qualify to obtain!

What I am most curious about now is, in your Golden Dragon Little Immortal Realm, which has endured for over thirty million years and should have entered the End of Dharma Era with scarce spirit materials and Qi... How is it that each of you Little Celestial Immortals carries a ninth-grade immortal artifact to ascend to the Supreme Origin Realm?

Or could it be that these ninth-grade immortal artifacts were indeed refined by that artifact refiner named Lin Xuankong, using the essence extracted from a vast amount of materials?"

Upon hearing the Red-haired Celestial Demon say this,

the twenty-eight Initial Tier Celestial Immortals, including the Great Success Yu Zhen Bodhisattva and Sect Leader Qiu of the Divine Dynasty Immortal Sect, had their expressions change.

A ninth-grade immortal artifact, once brought into the Supreme Origin Realm, has a chance to grow into a genuine initial tier divine artifact? And an artifact with endless growth potential and power so great that celestial demons and celestial immortals at the Minor Success Realm may not even be qualified to possess? Although the people of the Divine Dynasty Immortal Sect like Sect Leader Qiu do not yet understand how strong celestial demons at the Minor Success Realm are, or what status they hold in the Supreme Origin Realm, from the tone of the Red-haired Celestial Demon, celestial demons at the Minor Success Realm must be at least stronger than this imposingly powerful celestial demon!

Nonetheless, after a moment of thought, these twenty-eight Initial Tier Celestial Immortals understood the reasoning. Besides Lin Xuankong’s ninth-grade immortal artifacts, the famed ninth-grade immortal artifacts that appeared over the thirty million years of Golden Dragon Immortal Realm’s history were all refined from a vast amount of incredibly precious heavenly materials and earthly treasures!

Such immortal artifacts, which gathered infinitely precious materials, being nourished by the vast primordial Qi of the Supreme Origin Realm after ascension, metamorphosing into initial tier divine artifacts, is indeed a natural course!

Among them, the Great Success Yu Zhen Bodhisattva, with a hint of anger in her gaze, looked at the sneering Red-haired Celestial Demon, "There is a Wall of the World between the Supreme Origin Realm and the Golden Dragon Immortal Realm below. Even the strongest celestial demons shouldn’t be able to know matters of the Golden Dragon Immortal Realm below. How do you know about Immortal Lin Xuankong?"

The people of the Divine Dynasty Immortal Sect, like Sect Leader Qiu, also took on a solemn demeanor and gazed at the Red-haired Celestial Demon.

The Red-haired Celestial Demon sneered again at this, "Hmph, we have our ways of knowing the affairs of your Golden Dragon Immortal Realm. For instance, that Yu Ming and Feiyun you just mentioned, were captured right after ascension and have long been imprisoned in the Red Water Prison, enduring the constant washing of Red Water eternally, becoming bricks eternal for the nourishment of our Red Water Holy City! Naturally, everything in Feiyun’s divine soul was also thoroughly searched using our Celestial Demon Race’s Soul Searching Technique!"

Yu Ming has already been captured by these Celestial Demon powerhouses and held in the Red Water Prison?

Yu Ming ascended to the Supreme Origin Realm five thousand years ago, while Feiyun ascended three thousand years ago... Does this mean Yu Ming and Feiyun have been enduring torment in this Supreme Origin Realm’s so-called Red Water Holy City for thousands of years!

The hot-tempered Great Success Yu Zhen Bodhisattva, hearing this, immediately widened her eyes,

"Damn it, damn it indeed! Back in the Golden Dragon Immortal Realm, you demons of the Demon Race wreaked havoc for over thirty million years, committing countless atrocities! In the Supreme Origin Realm, you demons who ascended continue to be cruel and vicious, even imprisoning and torturing my sister Yu Ming for thousands of years!

Now that I, Yu Zhen, have ascended, I will battle you demons!"

Before her words fell, the primordial Qi within the Jade Bright Celestial Buddha surged suddenly, forming a grand and mighty Angry-eyed Vajra phantom, and the ninth-grade immortal artifact in her hand buzzed continuously.

The other twenty-seven Initial Tier Celestial Immortals, though intimidated by the formidable force of the numerous celestial demons before them, also activated the primordial Qi within them, urging the rapidly transforming ninth-grade immortal artifacts in front of them.

These strongest Immortal Lord-level powerhouses of the Golden Dragon Immortal Realm, after crossing the final celestial tribulation, had all greatly increased in strength,

Especially the four, including Sect Leader Qiu of the Divine Dynasty Immortal Sect, Elder Qiu, Sect Leader Guangqing, and the Great Success Yu Zhen Bodhisattva, who, due to their exceptional talent, had triggered powerful celestial tribulations and, after metamorphosing their immortal bodies and divine souls, had already made a significant step forward in the realm of Initial Tier Celestial Immortals and Initial Tier Celestial Buddhas. Even if not reaching the mid-grade initial tier stage, they were still much stronger than ordinary Initial Tier Celestial Immortals and Celestial Buddhas, slightly surpassing the aura of the weaker individuals among the hundreds of celestial demons.

Unfortunately, they have ultimately just crossed the final celestial tribulation, having only just become Initial Tier Celestial Immortals, Initial Tier Celestial Demons, and Initial Tier Celestial Buddhas, and their numbers are only twenty-eight!

In contrast, the Celestial Demon Race opposed them easily numbered in the hundreds, and most had already successfully crossed tribulations and cultivated in the Supreme Origin Realm for thousands to tens of thousands of years, with these celestial demons being guided by the Early Stage Minor Success Celestial Demon, Cyan Wood Celestial Demon, forming an Immortal Slaying Thousand Demon Array more powerful than the Six-Layered Luo Water Array!

No matter how these twenty-eight Initial Tier Celestial Immortals, Initial Tier Celestial Buddhas, and Initial Tier Celestial Demons urged the primordial Qi within their bodies, their aura was still vastly weaker than that of the surrounding Celestial Demon Race powerhouses!

The feeling was akin to that of a small cat roaring angrily in front of an adult elephant!

The Red-haired Celestial Demon, looking at the appearance of Yu Zhen Little Celestial Buddha and others, could not help but sneer again, then turned to the Cyan Bird Celestial Demon beside him, speaking with respect, "Lord Cyan Bird, should we let our subordinates activate the grand array to directly crush these Little Celestial Immortals and Little Celestial Buddhas, or toy with them leisurely?"
