Jiang Xuelan stood quietly beside David, her plain white dress spotless, her eyes gentle and clear as she gazed at the boy’s tall and straight back.
Since following David, she has experienced countless battles in secret realms, struggles with the Heavenly Dao, and life-or-death situations. Her Dao heart has been tempered time and again, yet she has always retained a trace of awe and reverence for the order of the heavens and the rules of the universe.
But the scenes of the Heavenly Gate opening, the appearance of the Order Beings, and the double standards of the rules crushing all living beings completely shattered the last remaining filter of the Heavenly Dao in her heart.
The so-called justice of Heaven and the protection of order are nothing but hypocrisy and deception.
Countless beings have toiled and struggled to survive for generations, killing one another, only to become nourishment for the higher beings to raise and harvest; countless cultivators have adhered to the Heavenly Dao, repaired the earth’s veins, and submitted to the heavens, only to imprison themselves and work for others.
Having seen through all illusions and dispelled all obsessions, her state of mind was completely perfected at this moment, her heart was pure, her mind was clear, and her soul was unified.
His body was perfectly integrated with the Daoist principles of water and the profound mysteries of stars and moon. He broke through one barrier after another, his cultivation was stabilized at the peak of the half-step Immortal Lord, and his divine soul power far surpassed that of others of the same level. It was gentle and profound, and contained boundless power.
She is no longer a companion who relies on the strong, but a top-level powerhouse who can stand shoulder to shoulder with them, fight against all the heavens, and overturn the old order. She has firmly established herself as a top-level companion in the heavens, and her temperament, cultivation, vision, and overall perspective have all undergone transformation and sublimation.
On the other side, Canfeng and Canfei stood on opposite sides, their battle blood boiling, their armor patterns gleaming, and countless ancient god and demon battle soul remnants and killing principles flowing endlessly on the surface of their bodies.
The divine and demonic battle spirits and the ancient killing essence absorbed in the three ancient secret realms have now been completely integrated.
Both of them were already top-notch warriors who had experienced countless battles. They had a solid foundation and boundless fighting spirit. What they lacked was top-level background and Daoist guidance.
Now, the massive ancient killing essence washes over their physical bodies, tempers their souls, and condenses their Dao foundation. The barriers to their combat power have been completely shattered, and they have both broken through the shackles and entered the realm of half-step Immortal Lord.
Canfeng’s killing intent was as deep as an abyss, and every move he made carried the killing pressure of ancient gods and demons. His movements were unpredictable and fierce, and his speed was unparalleled among those of the same level.
His crippled body is as hard as ancient divine metal, with unparalleled defense and ferocious and domineering combat power, capable of directly withstanding the divine attacks of a Celestial Lord.
Their auras surged, their foundations increased tenfold or a hundredfold, and they had completely transcended the realm of top cultivators in the lower heavens, becoming top-tier combat power capable of dominating the twenty-five heavens and comparable to the ancestors of aristocratic families.
The most terrifying and subversive transformation of the entire event belonged to David.
He stood in the void, with no powerful spiritual light emanating from his body, nor any violent pressure spreading around him. He seemed ordinary, just like any other cultivator.
Every inch of his skin, every wisp of spiritual power, and every line of his soul were undergoing an ultimate transformation.
The complete creation of the three ancient secret realms, the accumulated origin of heaven and earth over billions of years, the complete inheritance of the ancient water system true god, the ultimate mental method of star and moon enlightenment, and the pure Dao charm of endless ancient spiritual roots all converged into him, cleansing his physical body, spiritual power, Dao foundation, and soul.
Wanxi’s heart imprint was completely perfected deep within her soul, and all past illusions, inner demons, and soul imprisonment vanished without a trace.
From then on, inner demons did not arise, illusions did not disturb him, and falsehoods did not invade him; his soul remained as firm as the rock of the heavens.
The Azure Sea Divine Pearl floats above the dantian’s origin, governing countless water-based laws. All water-based spiritual power, tidal rhythms, and netherworld water forces in the world are under his control. With a wave of his hand, he can summon the power of the vast ocean and suppress a vast territory.
The fragments of the Celestial Pivot are sealed in the original space of the Shennong Cauldron. They appear to be silent, but in reality, they continuously output the complete spatial laws and mysteries of the ancient heavens.
This tempered his spatial foundation, allowing him to understand the levels of the heavens, spatial barriers, and the rules of the realms far better than any other being in the current twenty-five heavens.
Under the tempering and refinement of massive top-tier resources and complete ancient Daoist principles, David’s cultivation barrier shattered instantly, the shackles of the fifth rank of the Great Luo Golden Immortal collapsed in an instant, his aura steadily rose, and he firmly stepped into the sixth rank of the Great Luo Golden Immortal!
This is not a simple improvement in realm, but a comprehensive qualitative transformation.
His physical body, spiritual power, divine soul, Dao foundation, understanding of laws, and combat strength have all reached the ultimate peak of the current twenty-fifth level.
His combat power is no longer limited to crushing those of the same level, but is enough to ignore the difference in realm and directly confront and forcefully crush all the patriarchs of aristocratic families at the Immortal Lord level.
At this moment, David looked down over the entire Twenty-Five Heavens. None of the patriarchs of powerful families, supreme figures of sects, or reclusive experts could withstand the power of a single finger from him.
In the lower heavens, no one can rival him anymore.
