Free Web NovelChapter 655: Chapter 427: Sea Calming Seal Shatters the World (Part 2)
The Star Pearl floated and rotated behind Zhong Heng in a pattern like the character ’品’.
With a gesture from Zhong Heng, the Five Elements Qiankun Gourd returned to his hand as the Array Core of the Five Elements Inversion Array.
A Tier Ten Array, Zhong Heng did not have the means to recklessly deploy it.
The Five Elements Inversion Array used the Five Elements Qiankun Gourd as its Array Core, while the Tier Ten Space Shifting Array used the Space Magic Cube.
But now, Zhong Heng no longer needed the array.
"River Map·Divine Power Celestial Derivation!"
A phantom of the River Map appeared deep in Zhong Heng’s eyes.
Simple lines and dots, yet they outlined the most mysterious pattern in the world.
The Divine Power Celestial Derivation allowed Zhong Heng, under the premise of knowing the Divine Secret Skill, to temporarily grasp the highest realm of this divine power.
"Celestial Derivation Divine Techniques, Sea Calming Seal"
Zhong Heng said calmly.
He seemed to see a figure merging with himself.
Countless pieces of information began to appear in his mind.
As if he had mastered the Sea Calming Seal for tens of thousands of years, cultivating it to a state beyond advancement.
Just a divine technique descending upon him.
Zhong Heng’s aura began to expand infinitely.
The eight Divinity Transformations present all suddenly looked at Zhong Heng.
"How is this possible..."
"What is this!?"
A light descended from the heavens.
The light was not of a visual nature, nor of any sensory kind, but utterly void.
It was an opportunity, an opportunity to transcend the Three Realms and Five Elements.
"The opportunity for Ascension..." Zhong Heng quietly stated the name of this light.
This meant as long as the Sea Calming Seal was cultivated to the highest level,
one could ascend to become an Immortal!
However... it also meant that cultivating the Sea Calming Seal to the level of Mastery was undoubtedly harder than Ascension itself.
Zhong Heng lightly waved his hand, dispelling the opportunity for Ascension.
Because it did not belong to him.
Zhong Heng’s aura continued to expand infinitely, and in an instant, it was as if only Zhong Heng’s aura remained in the world.
"Calm"
"Sea"
These two True Words emerged from Zhong Heng’s mouth.
Zhong Heng formed a seal with his hands.
In an instant, the True Essence in Zhong Heng’s Dantian Meridian was exhausted.
The three Cosmic Star Pearls emanated a vast aura, channeling energy into Zhong Heng.
Not only that, but the Cosmic Magic Cube absorbed a large amount of Void Energy, and the Five Elements Qiankun Gourd transformed the Qi of the Five Elements.
At this moment, they were all rapidly converted into Zhong Heng’s energy.
Countless people seemed to see a vast ocean and a mythical dragon raging over it.
Then, a sky-supporting pillar pinned down the dragon, as well as the entire ocean and the dragon of the world’s water veins.
This was the final dragon of Emperor Yu’s sealed Nine Cauldrons in the great river, representing the boundless water vein dragon of the infinite sea.
"Boom————————"
The earth and heavens trembled.
Then they began to break inch by inch.
Among the five Divinity Transformations, three dropped from the Divinity Transformation Realm.
They ceased their attacks, looking at the crumbling world with a face of despair.
"Why... why!"
A strong one roared unwillingly.
A great hole appeared in the sky, revealing countless stars in the void of Outer Heaven, cold and void poured into this world.
The ocean froze, volcanoes erupted, Spiritual Treasures exploded, and a boundless sadness filled the hearts of all living beings, as if the Heavenly Dao was lamenting.
The will of the Heavenly Dao let out its final wail, but it was powerless.
The Sea Calming Seal shattered the entire Luoshu World!
Master Purple Cloud’s face bore not a hint of pity, only excitement in his eyes.
They shielded the surviving Ten Thousand Realms Alliance cultivators, standing beside Zhong Heng.
Luo Qingyao’s face showed a little reluctance.
The Great Sun Realm annihilated many worlds of the Ten Thousand Realms Alliance, that was a blood feud.
But within the Great Sun Realm, there were countless innocent beings.
She glanced at the excited and relieved Master Purple Cloud and Li Qingtian, then at Zhong Heng.
Zhong Heng did not speak, simply gazing toward the horizon.
He uttered two words: "Jiuzhou"
A pillar of light descended from the sky.
The entire Luoshu World shattered.
Yet the heavens and earth did not vanish into the void, but were received by the pillar of light.
That is the Light of Reception.
Once, the strongest from the many Lower Realms of Jiuzhou who passed the Celestial Tribulation and the test would be received by the Light of Reception into Jiuzhou.
Now, the Light of Reception led this soon-to-break world.
"Let’s go."
Zhong Heng said quietly.
The three of them did not say much, just taking the surviving cultivators back to the Ten Thousand Realms Alliance through the space passage.
Zhong Heng accepted the Cosmic Magic Cube and closed the Space Shifting Array.
The Fragment World before them was also drawn to Jiuzhou.
Beside Zhong Heng, there were only three beads and two Immortal Artifacts continuously supplying power.
Zhong Heng could sense that someone was watching him.
That was the Jiuzhou Heavenly Dao.
Zhong Heng could feel a warmth akin to a mother’s embrace.
Zhong Heng could even communicate with the Heavenly Dao to some extent.
This was a privilege only an Immortal could have, and ordinary immortals could not even communicate with the Jiuzhou Heavenly Dao.
Zhong Heng’s current state was very special.
Somewhat like achieving Dao through ’Skill’.
On the Path of Cultivation, naturally both Life Skill and Divine Sense are cultivated in harmony.
Life, broadly speaking, is cultivation.
Skill, broadly speaking, is the Magic and Divine Techniques one cultivates.
Life is the foundation, Skill is the protection of Dao.
Cultivating only the Cultivation Techniques without Magic, under the protection of a mighty protector, one might still walk a certain path on the cultivation journey.
Golden Core Cultivators who know nothing could even use Turtle Fist to defeat Qi Refining Cultivators and early to mid Foundation Establishment Cultivators.
But Skill is different.
Basically, no cultivator only cultivates Skill and not Life.
Because the higher the cultivation, the stronger and wiser the Divine Sense, leading to deeper comprehension of Skills; otherwise, one cannot understand profound Skills at all.
In some mortal realms,
there are cultivators who do not cultivate Cultivation Techniques, only Magic.
These cultivators are called by-ways and are often limited to small places where the upper limit is Qi Refining.
However, Zhong Heng at this moment achieves Dao through ’Skill’.
The new ability of the River Map, the Celestial Derivation Divine Power, directly brought Zhong Heng’s Skill to the highest realm.
Under normal conditions, the power Zhong Heng could obtain through this method is related to Skills; originally, only the Hongmeng Divine Origin Refining Realm Skill and Taihe Five Elements Profound Gang Secret Technique were the highest, but one is a Secret Technique for refining realms, and the other is a Cultivation Technique, neither conforming to Celestial Derivation.
Even if other Divine Techniques reached their peak, they were but slightly stronger at the Divinity Transformation Realm.
However, Emperor Yu prepared two Divine Techniques for him.
Two peerless Divine Techniques.
Relying solely on one of those Divine Techniques, Zhong Heng broke the barrier between immortals and mortals, allowing his life level to temporarily step into the True Immortal level.
Turning a theoretical realm into reality.
Through achieving Dao by Skill, Zhong Heng could even crush some lesser True Immortals.
"It’s just... the Nine Cauldron Seal cannot be used... a Divine Technique that even the River Map cannot influence..."
Zhong Heng took a deep breath, choosing not to dwell on it further.
He began to feel the power within him.
"Merit..."
Zhong Heng murmured.
This was somewhat like the heavenly intention bestowed upon several Divinity Transformation figures in the Luoshu World, yet completely different.
Zhong Heng couldn’t explain the mystery within.
But what he could confirm was that Merit could only benefit him.
And the fact that even Emperor Yu made such a decision suggested that Merit might indeed offer enormous advantages in his contest for the position of Master of River Map.
"Boom——————"
The Light of Reception began to expand, spanning the entire Fragment World cluster.
Zhong Heng could even hear the sound of the Fragment World accelerating its integration into Jiuzhou.
His eyes flickered slightly.
This signified that Jiuzhou was about to usher in a time of great contention.
In the Fragment World, whether resources or geniuses and strong individuals, all were abundant.
The Fragment World’s proactive integration into Jiuzhou under the guidance of the Light of Reception implied that Jiuzhou’s native forces would not have adequate preparation from the shadows to conquer one Secret Realm World after another.
Instead, the Secret Realm Worlds would appear directly in Jiuzhou.
This would inevitably have a certain impact on the entire structure of Jiuzhou.
Zhong Heng remembered that in the Fragment World, there were a few more worlds like the Bright Square Grotto Heaven, which had reached the Grotto Heaven Level and had Divinity Transformation experts stationed, just not on Zhong Heng’s route.
The changes in the Fragment World attracted the attention of the Jiuzhou Immortals.
Several gazes fell on Zhong Heng, hidden deep within the Fragment World. Upon sensing Zhong Heng’s aura, they were immediately filled with some uncertainty.
Zhong Heng merely waved to them with a smile.
Then transformed into a Flowing Light and escaped into the Bright Square Grotto Heaven...
His aura completely fell back to the Divinity Transformation level.
