Man is in the heavens, parasites are born

Chapter 252 Verification and Breakthrough

The instant they entered Fang Ming's myriad worlds, boundless sword and fist light erupted from the area where the plateau was located, shattering everything and blurring Fang Ming's vision.

Boundless and terrifying energy surged forth, spreading across past and future time and space, filling every fragment of time and space.

A Tai Chi diagram severed the future spacetime, and a sword light cut off the past spacetime, instantly forming an independent spacetime that imprisoned the three strange progenitors and seven strange immortal emperors in the cage of this spacetime.

The sword light collided with the black spiked club, shattering the Sea of ​​Time, evaporating chaos, destroying countless Great Daos, collapsing the endless plateau of Calamity, and turning the infinite dark universe into smoke and clouds.

Accompanied by a strange burst of black blood from the sword light, the eerie progenitor wielding a spiked club staggered backward, smashing a large plateau into nothingness, his body covered in terrifying sword marks.

One figure after another approached Shi Hao, all of them himself. Shi Hao, at the Immortal Emperor level, had eyes like cold lightning as he pounced on the seven strange Immortal Emperors.

On the other side, Ye Fan formed a fist seal and unleashed the Heavenly Emperor Fist, causing the entire plateau to tremble. The fist light was endless, directly clashing with the long sword in the hand of the strange ancestor, sending him flying horizontally. His hands were spasming, and a large amount of strange true blood burst out, leaving his body covered in cracks.

Elsewhere, the Tai Chi diagram rotated, releasing an indescribable radiance. It and a pool of thunder, one above the other, were aimed at an ancestor, intending to suppress him.

Neither the Tai Chi diagram nor the Thunder Pool are real weapons, but rather forms of some incomprehensible patterns. Although they do not exist in reality, they possess boundless and terrifying power.

That eerie ancestor was actually suppressed and unable to break free from that terrifying field.

The remote plateau was churning and trembling, shaking more violently than it had ever done today.

This is not only a shock to the high plateau and its soil, but also the awakening of the ancestors that have been sleeping within it!
But it was too late; Shi Hao and Ye Fan unleashed their full power.

An endless burst of light erupted, and in a daze, one could vaguely see the bodies of the two progenitors of the strange race exploding under the bombardment of supreme sword light and fist imprints.

Then a gigantic, boundless Tai Chi diagram descended, draping over the ancestor of a strange race and enveloping him as he fell into a pool of lightning.

Amidst that brilliant and dazzling light, he manifested nine stone spirits through the Great Law of Transformation, which in turn created seven thunder pools, simultaneously suppressing seven strange immortal emperors.

Two lightning bolts swept across countless dark universes belonging to the strange race. In an instant, countless dark universes were shattered, and countless sources of origin were swallowed up by those two lightning pools.

Then the nine Thunder Pools also disappeared into the Thunder Pool that had suppressed the Ancestor.

Seven terrifying figures emerged from the core of the Calamity Land, but everything had already settled down, and Shi Hao and Ye Fan had long since disappeared.

No matter how hard they tried to deduce the truth, it was all in vain. Heaven was empty, and they couldn't find the two people who had launched the surprise attack.

“It really wasn’t him…” Liu Shen looked at the battlefield where the dust had settled with complicated emotions.

In her understanding, Shi Hao had only recently begun his Daoist practice and did not yet possess such strength.

She could tell that Shi Hao still had plenty of energy left, and it seemed that he could deal with the three progenitors all by himself.

As for Fang Ming, he couldn't see anything, only sense that terrifying and boundless fluctuations were transmitted from the unknown place, and then subsided in a very short time.

Then, Shi Hao and Ye Fan reappeared in the myriad worlds.

"Let's verify something first." Shi Hao and Ye Fan hurriedly left with these words before departing and returning to another time and space.

They came and went in a hurry.

Not long after, only an hour later, the two of them returned, and their expressions seemed a bit off.

“It’s been verified. Neither the Mysterious Immortal Emperor nor the progenitor of the Sacrifice Dao have disappeared. Although they are the same individuals, they can still coexist.” Shi Hao stroked his chin, looking at the one-foot-long Thunder Pool hanging in front of him, his heart filled with confusion and doubt.

Ye Fan's eyes gleamed as he continued to deduce the answer, but he still couldn't come up with a clue.

Their sudden appearance and attack on the plateau forced the progenitor among them to fight back, which naturally verifies their ideas.

Unexpectedly, the ancestor and seven immortal emperors they captured did not disappear, but remained imprisoned in the Thunder Pool.

Upon hearing Shi Hao's words, the expressions of Willow God, Burial Master, Butcher, and others in this timeline improved slightly.

This shows that Shi Hao is special; it's not that the Shi Hao from another time and space made the Shi Hao they knew disappear.

Perhaps they were originally the same person, and now they have simply become one.

At this moment, the Willow God of this time and space spoke up, saying, "Perhaps it is because you will break through again in the future that you will possess such divine abilities."

Hearing her words, Shi Hao nodded and said, "Perhaps, but we have indeed found a way forward, and it is indeed possible to break through."

In fact, he had just tried to communicate about the future, but to no avail.

Obviously, even if you achieve a breakthrough, your future self, for reasons unknown, will not communicate with your present self.

Therefore, at this time, we still need to rely on ourselves. "Fellow Daoists, let's cultivate in seclusion in this myriad worlds for a while. In the future, when we join forces, we will be able to sweep away the calamities of the plateau!" Shi Hao looked at the group.

Next, Shi Hao and Ye Fan each made arrangements for their old subordinates and friends in this time and space.

Then, the two of them performed another sacrificial ceremony on Fang Ming's five major avatars, which further enhanced the prototypes of Fang Ming's five major avatars' Immortal Emperor Dao Fruits, bringing them closer to the true Immortal Emperor Dao Fruits.

Of course, considering that the same amount of sacrificial soldiers this time as last time would allow Fang Ming's clone to have an epiphany, thus breaking through the barrier and becoming an Immortal Emperor in one fell swoop.

Therefore, the sacrifice to the five major entities this time was different; a single Immortal Emperor Dao Fruit was used to sacrifice to the five major entities.

After performing the ritual twice, Shi Hao and Ye Fan stopped. They keenly sensed that Fang Ming's five major avatars had reached a certain limit.

Admittedly, with continued weapon sacrifices, Fang Ming's clone could continue to improve almost infinitely. However, once he reached a level that almost completely surpassed that of a Quasi-Immortal Emperor, and once he achieved enlightenment, his path would be unobstructed, and he could directly become an Immortal Emperor.

Currently, within the nascent Immortal Emperor Dao Fruits of Fang Ming's five major avatars, countless Great Daos are intertwined, transforming into countless Immortal Emperor-level Dao Seas. They are only missing a certain opportunity for Fang Ming to truly become an Immortal Emperor.

Of course, in fact, even an infinite number of Dao Seas cannot be considered Immortal Emperors. They can only be considered Fang Ming's avatars at this moment. He is not far from becoming an Immortal Emperor. If he were to achieve enlightenment, he could succeed in an instant.

If the split body becomes an Immortal Emperor, then things will be difficult!

During the thousand years of the sacrificial ceremony, Fang Ming, relying on the vast amount of cosmic essence collected by Shi Hao, successfully elevated the first of the myriad worlds to the level of a great world.

As the first of the myriad worlds was elevated to the level of a great world, his realm also rose to the level of a quasi-immortal emperor.

Countless sources of heaven and earth essence that Shi Hao collected from the edge of the Calamity Land surged into all the heavens.

In an instant, as if a chain reaction had occurred, Fang Ming's countless worlds, one after another, became universes at the level of the Great Heaven and Earth.

Chaos gave birth to the universe, and the heavens and earth were created. Each universe at the level of the great heavens and earth was attached to countless worlds, and the long river of time and space, the underworld, and so on were born.

At this point, his cultivation level was astonishing even among quasi-immortal emperors, emanating an extremely powerful aura.

Awakening from the Dao Realm, Fang Ming frowned, thinking to himself, "As expected, under normal circumstances, this path is not easy to walk. Without the help of a master, relying solely on enlightenment to reach my current level would be extremely difficult!"

Although his myriad worlds consist of tens of millions of worlds at the level of Great Heaven and Earth, compared to the infinite number of myriad worlds, this is but a drop in the ocean, a mere drop of water in the vast sea.

"The multiverse system is a huge pitfall for me, its creator. It's really hard to perfect it by relying solely on my own cultivation without external help." Fang Ming pondered carefully, then shook his head.

To achieve perfection in the Quasi-Immortal Emperor realm, one must not only transform all the Great Thousand Worlds that existed when one was at the Immortal King realm into Great Worlds, but also ensure that any new worlds born after becoming a Quasi-Immortal Emperor are at the level of Great Worlds from the moment they are born.

Only then can this realm be considered perfect, and one can begin preparing to challenge for the title of Immortal Emperor.

However, when he was in the late stage of the Immortal King realm, the number of the Great Thousand Worlds was already infinite.

Moreover, after becoming a Quasi-Immortal Emperor, he has almost become a true primordial chaos, with countless universes being born every single second.

In other words, under normal circumstances, it is extremely difficult to achieve perfection on one's own, unless one possesses an astonishingly extraordinary level of comprehension.

We should directly expand the main path, starting from the root and working from the inside out, rather than working from the outside in.

However, for any system, it is a process of expanding from the inside out, and it should be about expanding its own path in order to perfect its realm.

People like Fang Ming are the odd ones out!

"Fellow Daoist's system is indeed amazing," Shi Hao exclaimed in admiration. "Back when I became a Quasi-Immortal Emperor, it took me hundreds of thousands of years to reach your level!"

The fact that one can still use external objects to improve one's cultivation level at the Quasi-Immortal Emperor level is enough to prove the excellence of this system.

Although he created the secret realm system of seeking one's own inner self, it does not mean that he rejects the external world. On the contrary, he greatly admires Fang Ming's system.

“Indeed amazing.” Ye Fan nodded and said, “It also took me just as much time to reach this level.”

Fang Ming's manifested form shook his head and said, "Don't say anything. I'm just a sham. If it weren't for the Origin of Heaven and Earth brought back by the Desolate Heaven Emperor, I wouldn't have been able to improve so quickly."

"A counterfeit?" Ye Fan laughed. He understood the meaning of the word. He said, "There are no counterfeit people who can open their own path. It's just that you feel you are not good at fighting."

"Not everyone is good at fighting. The best way is to overwhelm others with your cultivation and strength." Shi Hao smiled and said, "Only after becoming an Immortal Emperor did I realize how wonderful it is to overwhelm others with your cultivation and strength!"

He always used to fight against the strong with the weak, which seemed glorious, but in reality, it was something he had no choice but to do, and he felt very frustrated!
The moment he stepped into the Immortal Emperor realm, his physical form was shattered by the Dark Immortal Emperor's sword. At the same time, the Dark Immortal Emperor also activated his Great Art of Transformation, splitting into countless forms to cultivate in countless times and spaces. Therefore, the moment he returned, he possessed incomparably profound cultivation.

Fang Ming was just saying it casually; he wasn't the kind of person who pursued ultimate power or the strongest realm.

In the blink of an eye, his five separate entities flew toward him and merged into one.
