extraterrestrial sky
Standing alone in the cold, dark universe, Nangong Zheng felt mixed emotions.
Even the most powerful beings in the second level of the Immortal Realm can barely enter the outer universe. Only those who have severed their Dao can travel briefly, and only saints can truly travel far.
Although he is now considered a venerable figure in the BeiDou system, he feels his own insignificance.
He sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes, and silently circulated the "Longevity Technique." He kept replaying his Dao and Dharma in his mind, wanting to elevate his state to its peak before undergoing the tribulation!
He didn't know how much time had passed when he opened his eyes. At that moment, he stood at the pinnacle of his life!
Immediately, he began to cultivate, opened his mind and body, connected with heaven and earth, and emitted a transcendent, independent will, allowing his Dao to emanate!
boom!
A moment later, the original empty universe, which was empty, suddenly became a vast ocean. This was a vast divine sea formed by lightning, which descended abruptly.
Nangong Zheng remained silent; the Great Dao did not allow this situation to occur!
He did not show any hostility towards the Great Dao, but the Dao itself seemed to sense the provocation and suddenly unleashed a great calamity to destroy it completely!
In that instant, endless tribulation clouds gathered above Nangong Zheng's head, and he was about to be questioned and punished by the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.
One after another, enormous bolts of lightning, like silver snakes dancing wildly, seemed to surge like a raging river, striking his body with unparalleled ferocity.
This is an extremely shocking scene; anyone who saw it would be deeply moved.
This heavenly tribulation is terrifying. Any single ray of light is far more powerful than a major heavenly tribulation for others, and this is only the beginning.
This is an apocalyptic divine punishment, a cataclysmic event, and it is safe to say that very few people can withstand it. If it were any other holy lord, it is estimated that nine out of ten would not be able to survive it.
At this moment, Nangong Zheng, bathed in the calamity, with his hair disheveled, was confronting the immense heavenly tribulation.
This level of cataclysm even shattered the void of the universe. Nangong Zheng withstood the pressure, and a flash of light appeared between his brows, revealing a small tree. This was his instrument for proving his Dao, which would fight alongside him against the great calamity.
Vast and boundless, without end, it seemed as if all the lightning had descended and fallen into its body.
In the Northern Region, many powerful cultivators felt a sense of impending doom, as if a sword of Damocles was hanging over their heads, and they were all filled with unease.
However, no one could figure it out because it was too far away, and no one understood anything.
Even though everyone felt the presence of powerful forces like the Jade Pool Holy Land and the Jiang family, they were unclear about the reasons behind it and did not know what had happened in the outer realms.
"cough..."
Nangong Zheng coughed up blood. Although his physical strength was terrifying, it was ultimately somewhat inferior. Soon, his body was bleeding, with his skin torn open and his flesh exposed, making him look quite miserable.
At this moment, he felt a little envious of those with the strongest physiques. If one had a strong physical body, it would probably be easier to overcome tribulations.
boom!
In the dark universe, intense lightning surged, as if the apocalypse had arrived, and stars shattered and exploded like fireworks.
Nangong silently circulated the secret techniques of the Longevity Mantra, which shone with an immortal divine radiance. Even if he was cleaved in two and his bones were broken, he could recover quickly.
At this moment, he was even more surprised. The "Longevity Technique" was indeed extraordinary and was by no means an ordinary Great Sage's inheritance.
Practicing this scripture not only extends one's lifespan but also grants astonishing recovery abilities, truly defying the heavens.
Not only that, even Nangong Zheng's little tree was unharmed.
The sapling was just an ordinary tree, but despite the thunderbolts falling from the sky, it was not destroyed; its trunk was crackling with lightning, yet it remained unharmed.
This little tree was originally an ordinary tree, but after being nurtured and refined by Nangong Zheng for more than two thousand years, it has evolved to an incredible degree.
"Could this tree evolve into the World Tree in the future!?"
A bold idea suddenly arose in Nangong Zheng's mind.
Before they could think any further, the sky suddenly churned with tribulation clouds, the lightning vanished, and several terrifying figures appeared—a group of ancient beasts.
There are true dragons, celestial phoenixes, black tortoises, and soaring serpents... There are no fewer than eight kinds of mythical and ancient beasts in total.
The true dragon roared, the nine heavens trembled, the immortal phoenix was reborn, the immortal feathers tore the sky, the white tiger roared, shattering rivers and mountains, the qilin charged wildly, and the sun was destroyed, and the moon sank!
Nangong Zheng's expression changed. This was no ancient beast, but a celestial spirit!
"Could this path be too defying the heavens?" Nangong Zheng pondered and couldn't help but feel a chill.
He was overjoyed. This path was incredibly powerful, and his future achievements were limitless. As long as he survived the great calamity, his strength would experience a qualitative leap!
Before he could even feel overjoyed, the celestial spirits pounced on him, creating an extremely astonishing scene.
It was a decisive blow right from the start!
"Bring it on!"
Nangong Zheng let out a long roar, spitting out a stream of innate essence. The essence then transformed into chaotic sword light, with sword energy crisscrossing and densely packed, slashing towards the numerous immortal spirits.
At the same time, the wisp of blue energy in his dantian also moved, swirling around the dantian and surging out boundless divine power, which entered Nangong Zheng's limbs and bones, actually increasing his strength by another level!
Nangong was pleasantly surprised. He hadn't expected that this wisp of energy would have such divine power. This greatly boosted his confidence and gave him more assurance.
In the vast and boundless sea of lightning, he roamed the outer realms alone, battling several immortal spirits.
This scene was extremely astonishing, as if we had entered a mythological era, with one celestial being after another appearing and surging around it.
Although Nangong Zheng's combat power increased again, he was soon covered in blood, his bones broken, and blood splattered across the sky, splattering apart in the outer realm. His flesh and internal organs were torn to pieces.
Because those immortal spirits were so terrifying, their power was overwhelming, and they made one's soul tremble; it was too difficult to resist.
Fortunately, he possessed the healing magic of the Longevity Mantra and that wisp of blue energy, which enabled him to remain undying.
He was deeply moved, realizing that if he hadn't pioneered a new path of cultivation, he would likely have met with dire consequences this time.
His battles with these immortals were like facing one great emperor after another.
Nangong Zheng's eyes were sharp, his white hair stained with blood. He activated the Longevity Technique, and flesh-and-bone fragments flew over and quickly merged.
As long as he can't be killed instantly, he can always recover in the first moment. This ability is simply heaven-defying!
After an unknown amount of time, Nangong Zheng almost completely collapsed. All the lightning and thunder disappeared, and even the immortal spirits dispersed, creating an illusion that gave him a vague and unreal feeling.
In the dark void, he painstakingly reconstructed his body, merging flesh and bones into one.
"We finally made it through!"
He was fortunate that although the calamity was merciless, it was eventually limited; otherwise, if it had come twice more, he might not have been able to hold on.
Nangong Zheng successfully severed his Dao, achieving the title of King of Severing Dao before the World changed!
If a sage were not to appear, Beidou would be arguably the strongest fighter in the World today!
The vast universe. The boundless starry sky, the true scene, once again returned to its cold and lifeless state.
"I have successfully severed my Dao and become a Dao-Severing King!"
Having successfully severed his Dao, Nangong Zheng felt neither excitement nor sorrow, but rather a profound tranquility as he silently restored his body.
At this moment, tens of millions of starlight flowed down from the universe along the starry sky and entered the body.
His body shimmered with a precious glow, and every pore on his skin opened up, bathed in starlight.
Soon, his injuries healed completely, and he put on a blue robe.
Nangong Zheng stood in the void, his white hair flowing freely, his eyes as deep as the starry sky, exuding an aura of unparalleled supremacy.
At this moment, he possessed the aura of the fourth level of the Dao Severing Realm!
He broke through the Dao to enter the third level of the Immortal Realm, and immediately passed through four levels of trials. It has to be said that this is a miracle.
But thinking about it, it makes sense. After more than two thousand years of accumulating knowledge and experience, it's understandable.
Perhaps there has never been anyone like this throughout history, breaking through to the forbidden fourth level of the Dao in one fell swoop.
"I wonder how things are outside!"
Nangong Zheng returned to the Northern Region from beyond the borders, and in a flash, he appeared in an ancient city.
Since he went to Xuan Yue Cave, some time has passed, and he doesn't know how long.
He needs to know what time period it is now.
Nangong Zheng entered a city in the Northern Region and learned some information.
Two or three years ago, the Bronze Immortal Palace sank into the ground of the Eastern Wilderness and disappeared without a trace. Along with it, dozens of older adults nearing the end of their lives also vanished.
Later, the Nine Secrets of Licheng were stirred up, and an ancient scroll was leaked. The people of the Eastern Wilderness basically knew that Purple Mountain had a great secret and might have a great opportunity. Now, the eyes of the World are focused on Purple Mountain.
Of course, during this period, Ye Fengchu also shone brightly in the Northern Region as promised. First, he captured a group of holy sons and daughters in the underground palace of Licheng, and later he killed a group of holy land experts, making him famous in the Northern Region.
Nowadays, the northern region is in turmoil, with waves crashing, and every day is far from peaceful.
Numerous sacred lands and noble families gathered in the Northern Region to discuss the Purple Mountain issue, hoping to join forces to explore Purple Mountain.
Nangong Zheng was speechless; these people were truly courting death!
However, he couldn't be bothered to interfere, respecting the fate of others! He was more focused on his own path of cultivation!
Through this tribulation, he came to understand the extraordinary nature of his Qi Refining path deeply!
Therefore, he planned to obtain some divine substances to water the humanoid divine medicine and the Qilin seed, so that they could recover and be used for his cultivation!
"That's right, Ye Fengchu should be in the Divine City at this time. He has the Divine Spring Water on him..." Nangong Zheng suddenly had a flash of inspiration and came up with an idea.
