Perfect World: The Path of Pure Source

Three thousand bluestone paths, the battle has come to an end.

Yang Jian, wielding a three-pointed double-edged spear, annihilated eighteen gods with a single roar and cleaved the True One puppet, his displayed combat prowess shocking cultivators across the realm.

Here, any creature that had ever harbored thoughts of seizing the treasure felt a chill of fear, thankfully they hadn't made a move!

Otherwise, it would be no different from those pools of blood and mud on the ground.

"To have such power so early in its divine fire form, it is clearly another ancient immortal king." In the distance, someone exclaimed, truly witnessing the rise of a king among ancient oddities.

Some powerful survivors of the Celestial God Realm nodded in agreement, saying, "If this were in the past, they would surely have been able to win the title of the Immortal Ancient King for several generations and become a multi-crown king."

While some admired him, others were filled with hostility, especially those from the Fallen God Ridge whose puppets had been cleaved in two; their eyes gleamed coldly, and they were very dissatisfied with Yang Jian.

"So what if he's a young king? He's ultimately a descendant of the ancient immortals, cursed and destined not to shine in the outside world." The followers of Fallen God Ridge sneered, crossing their arms and directly denying the future of this double-pupiled overlord.

"Hahaha! Fellow Daoists from Fallen God Ridge are right." The guests from the Demon Dragon Dao Sect laughed along. "A dazzling display? Whether they can survive past the Heavenly God Realm is still unknown!"

Some followers of ancient kings also chimed in with sarcastic remarks, "I've heard that even the few Void Dao level sect leaders among the ancient immortal clans are mentally unstable due to the curse and unable to leave the world. How could he possibly escape it? I doubt it."

The calamity of the ancient immortals is an ancient and mysterious curse originating from the previous era. It is not only caused by the imperfections of heaven and earth, but also by the vicious curses cast by their former enemies.

It was as if an invisible chain bound them to their respective tribal areas, preventing them from traveling far, or they would surely be cursed to death.

In the past, some of the original inhabitants of the Immortal Ancient Realm left to follow the geniuses of the Upper Realm into the Three Thousand Provinces, but in the end they were all wiped out and could not survive for long. The curse of the past years has been rooted in their blood.

Therefore, once you reach the level of a cult leader, it becomes dangerous; you may go insane or die.

Hearing these people's words, Shi Hao was displeased. He snorted and flicked the divine fire behind him, which burned the sky and shocked those who were whispering. Their expressions changed drastically, they coughed up blood, and they retreated one after another, not daring to stay any longer.

Then, he looked at Yang Jian and waved the sword embryo in his hand. "Don't listen to their nonsense. What ancient curse that can't be resolved? There are many variables in this life, there must be a solution."

The God-Slaying Stone beside him remained silent, staring intently at the three-pointed, double-edged spear in Yang Jian's hand, quite curious about its material and wondering if it was edible.

"It's alright. The so-called curse is just a whetstone." Yang Jian smiled confidently, because he knew the way to break the curse was to undergo tribulation!

The lightning tribulation liquid summoned during the strongest heavenly tribulation has the effect of dispelling curses; however, due to the incompleteness of heaven and earth in this era, it is basically impossible to pass the tribulation. In fact, forcibly summoning the lightning tribulation will result in a stronger backlash, with serious consequences.

"Break free from the ancient curse? Hahaha, what a pipe dream!"

Upon hearing these words, the people watching the battle from the Immortal Ancient Flower Petal burst into laughter.

The people from the Demon Dragon Sect, Fire Cloud Cave, Sword Valley, Immortal Palace, and Fallen God Ridge are the most rampant.

The celestial being of Fallen God Ridge picked at his ear, a look of disdain on his face. "A mere ant of divine fire dares to presume to lift the curse? Even those higher than him, such as True One, Celestial God, and Void Dao, couldn't do it!"

"Whatever, just treat it as a joke. I want to see how this genius ends up!" The old god of the Demon Dragon Sect chuckled, twirling his dragon whiskers with two fingers, his face full of mockery.

The celestial gods of the Immortal Palace scoffed, "Genius? How much of it is real? Just being able to survive one tribulation before dying to prove yourself is a miracle! Hahaha!"

The outside world is in an uproar, everyone is waiting to see the joke.

On the three thousand bluestone path, Yang Jian also looked into the distance and smiled.

Call ~

Suddenly, a gust of wind arose.

At first it was mild, but soon it became violent, as if the heavens were playing a drum, and a fierce wind was blowing, swirling up all the rocks in the sky.

Yang Jian's robes billowed and fluttered. He put his hands behind his back, then suddenly looked up at the sky, where a vast expanse of dark clouds surged in from the distant horizon.

"It's here." He spoke calmly, his double pupils closing. What had been blocked by the void warship had arrived.

Close your eyes and calm your mind.

He was listening to the echo of the heavens.

coming?

What's here?

Everyone was stunned, not understanding the meaning of his words; it was very abrupt.

They looked around suspiciously, but they didn't see any ancient freaks emerge from the shadows.

In the arena, only Shi Hao sensed something, suddenly looked up at the sky, and uttered two words.

The next moment, the heavens and earth shook violently, and a dazzling blue arc of lightning tore through the dark clouds, shattered the sky, and fell towards this place, drowning out all the sounds.

A fierce wind arose from the ground, and thunder roared in the dry sky!

boom!

Thunder roared, calamity struck, and Yang Jian opened his eyes, his double pupils revealing their full power.

bass!

A beam of golden light shot into the sky, its energy reaching the heavens, directly colliding with the lightning that descended from the sky. It suddenly exploded, turning into a rain of light that illuminated the entire sky and the astonished faces of everyone present.

Whether inside the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm or outside the Three Thousand Petals, onlookers and mockers alike were all illuminated by the sudden lightning.

That lightning was both so familiar and so strange.

Familiar in ancient books and records; unfamiliar in life, never seen before.

Even so, someone still managed to tremblingly utter its name, those two long-lost words:

Thunder! Calamity!

Tribulation lightning?

Lightning tribulation!?

Within the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm, massive bolts of lightning pierced through the heavens and the earth, terrifying beyond measure and shocking all directions!

This is a heavenly tribulation, not ordinary lightning; it is divine punishment sent down by the heavens.

Shock, bewilderment, doubt, astonishment... a variety of emotions surged up in a short period of time, even simultaneously, causing everyone to lose their composure.

What True One cultivators, what Heavenly Gods and sages, what Void Dao Masters—at this moment, they all had only one expression: utterly dumbfounded!

At this moment, the wind rises, lightning flashes, thunder roars, and all eyes are on the scene.

Yang Jian's double pupils shone with golden light. He suddenly smiled, his heart brimming with heroic spirit, and he stepped into the sky with his hands behind his back.

Accompanied by a deafening roar of thunder, his voice rang out without fail: "For so many years, the sword's edge has been hidden, but suddenly a thunderous song startles even ghosts and gods! My heart holds the ambition of a dragon and tiger soaring to the heavens, capable of overturning the seas and churning the rivers to wash the sky blue!"

The two tones pierced the heavens, resounding endlessly, as divine fire and thunder tribulation descended!

The calamity that only existed in the previous era has reappeared in the human world, and it is so fierce that it makes all the gods' scalps tingle.

However, such a heaven-defying act, which draws upon an unconventional path to godhood, is incredibly terrifying, far more so than any normal lightning punishment.

The thunder roared, each bolt more powerful than the last. Each dazzling bolt of lightning was thicker than a mountain, striking down and shattering mountains and splitting the void.

The strongest lightning struck right from the start, with a sound like the collapse of the starry sky, causing people's ears to bleed and making it unbearable.

Yang Jian strolled among them with composure, his hands behind his back, resisting the thunder with only the divine light emanating from his double pupils, his clothes untouched by dust, his path vast and boundless!

It truly is as if a thunderclap has suddenly appeared out of nowhere, bringing with it a storm of wind and rain.

"He's undergoing tribulation, the lightning tribulation of the Divine Fire Realm? How is that possible!"

Upon witnessing this scene, the various forces that had been mocking the three thousand immortal petals suddenly became restless.

Especially the gods who had spoken earlier, their faces were burning hot, as if they had been slapped in the face several times, and they couldn't say a word.

The celestial god in the Immortal Palace was the most aggrieved. He had just been saying that Yang Jian had never even seen a lightning tribulation in his entire life, but in the blink of an eye, Yang Jian had begun to undergo the lightning tribulation of the Divine Fire Realm!

This slap in the face came so fast and so suddenly that he couldn't react at all. He was like a mute eating bitter melon, unable to express his suffering.

"What a fool I was! Why did I have to say something about the tribulation of lightning?" The Celestial God regretted it in his heart, wishing he could slap himself twice for his impulsive words.

Fortunately, most people's attention was still focused on the lightning tribulation. At this moment, a celestial being exclaimed, "Look! The lightning tribulation is still changing!"

Surprisingly, the color of the heavenly tribulation kept changing. It started as blue, then turned gold, and then purple lightning struck and raged, shattering the sky.

boom!

A bolt of lightning struck down, bursting into five colors and transforming into five thunderbolts that crashed down on Yang Jian's head, truly a case of being struck by five thunderbolts.

But he remained motionless, and a Dao diagram formed from the illusory images of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths suddenly appeared above his head!

The illustrations were incredibly vivid and profound, clearly showing the nine heavens and ten lands, with mountains, rivers, all things, lakes, seas, and stars all presented, steadily blocking the lightning.

Upon seeing this, the dark clouds contracted rapidly, as if gathering strength to prepare for a heavy blow.

At the same time, the Eternal Diagram within Yang Jian's body also trembled, resonating with the lightning tribulation, and shooting out a stream of light that opened a gap in the very center of the tribulation clouds.

The narrow slit, shaped like an open vertical eye, has become a doorway!

"What is that? The Eye of Heaven?" A god was horrified, unable to comprehend the phenomenon before him, and found it terrifying.

Others disagreed, urgently stating, "No, it's a portal! A portal opened during the lightning tribulation!"

"What's going on? Is someone going to walk out from behind that door?" Even the beings of the imperial clan could not remain calm at this moment. They all tried to deduce the situation, but to no avail. Some were even injured by the backlash and coughed up a mouthful of blood!

The people from the Immortal Palace, the Demon Dragon Sect, the Fire Cloud Cave, the Sword Valley, and the Fallen God Ridge were all breathing heavily. They had no time for sarcastic remarks and were staring intently at the lightning portal.

"I have been waiting for a long time." Under the clouds of tribulation, Yang Jian's double pupils flashed, already knowing the background of the newcomer, and he was very much looking forward to it.

This battle will be fierce; it will be against the enemy he desires.

Gradually, the tribulation clouds deepened, becoming like a backdrop to the doorway, constantly emitting muffled thunderclaps.

Finally, the vertical eye portal cracked open, and something emerged from within!

"It's a person!" Outside the Immortal Ancient Petal, the gods stared wide-eyed, finally able to make out some details.

It turned out to be a human figure.

A person, their body blurred and enveloped in a blinding light, emerged from the vertical eye.

He descended from the sea of ​​lightning, his hair thick and his eyes as deep as the starry sky, naturally exuding an aura of unparalleled dominance.

One person alone silenced the entire sky. The lightning was still there, and the thunder was still flashing, but his appearance made the world seem to stand still.

The most striking and obvious feature was still that pair of eyes.

One eye, two pupils, gleaming with golden light.

A born god, a tyrant among men!

Double pupils?!

"Double pupils? Double pupils again?! How could this be!"

Everyone's expression changed drastically, even the gods were shocked and exclaimed in disbelief at the scene before them.

Double pupils, double pupils again!

Another person with double pupils has appeared in the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm!

How could there be three people in this life?
