The Great Road of Shading the Sky

Chapter 299 The Ultimate Evolver is Appearing, Like an Old Friend Returning

In the mortal realm, this was an ordinary day, but a series of earth-shattering events occurred.

And even more terrifying things are about to happen.

Stars fell, leaving only a crescent moon. After a long night, dawn broke, and unparalleled energy flowed through the sky before a crack appeared.

A piece of yellow paper drifted down, burning fiercely. The aura it emitted was extremely terrifying, causing many large stars in the outer star sea to also ignite.

As everyone knows, the sun, moon, and stars that illuminate the vast cosmos are not those planets floating in the outer realms, but transcendent beings high above the nine heavens.

Few people know that the so-called Nine Heavens are just the lowest nine of the Thirty-Three Heavens. Above the Thirty-Three Heavens, there is a transcendent Heaven beyond the mortal world.

The heavens beyond the heavens—the heavens above!
"what's the situation?!"

"Heavens! The starry sea beyond the realm has begun to burn. The mortal world is facing calamity after calamity today. Is it really doomed?"

At this moment, even the Celestial Venerable was astonished, finding it hard to believe what he was seeing.

"What incredible power this is?!" A powerful being looked extremely weak, trembling and withered. He could barely stand and looked up at the sky with a look of horror on his face.

"Could it be the power of the heavens? Sure enough, it has alarmed them!" A messenger from beyond the realm whispered, his face ashen.

As the yellow paper burned, the great Dao of Heaven and Earth in the mortal realm resounded!
As if sensing something, the complete order of heaven and earth was restored, and the entire mortal world was vibrating with immense energy.

That was just a piece of yellow paper with three lines of writing on it, yet it possessed such terrifying power, leading to such consequences!

It was lit, like the paper money burned during a memorial service, and eventually turned to ashes just like the burning paper money.

Some of the embers remained, floating in the heavens, and for a time, even in broad daylight, stars could be seen shining brightly, and the sky was filled with countless stars.

Some of the ashes drifted down to the world of the living.

The ashes were few, scattered and falling, but they formed a mysterious thick fog that engulfed the outer regions.

The fallen ashes were only a few specks, yet they caused extremely terrible consequences.

"Boom!!!"

At that moment, the world changed dramatically, as if it were turning upside down, about to be overturned.

The mists beyond the realm condensed and underwent a strange transformation. What seemed like matter that could be blown away in a single breath actually transformed into galaxies upon galaxies. It was so magnificent and powerful, a manifestation of the great power of creation, as if immortal gods were creating the world.

The yellow paper was burned, turning completely to ashes, which fell from beyond the realm and merged into the earth of the living.

Boundless mountains rise abruptly from the ground, and those ancient, shattered landscapes are being revitalized.

This change is truly astonishing. What exactly is the origin of that yellow paper? Who left it? Who wrote it?

Now, after being burned and reduced to ashes, it can actually do this?!

In the Eastern Continent of Divine Victory, on Flower and Fruit Mountain, Shaohua stretched out her fair and slender hand and caught a bit of ashes. Tracing back to the source, a piece of illusory yellow paper appeared in her hand, where she saw words of longing written by her three dearest friends.

"So it really was paper money burned for me." She blew away the ashes in her hand, shook her head, smiled faintly, and felt a little uneasy.

Amidst a flurry of speculation, who could have guessed that it was just an ordinary piece of paper money?

The only slight difference is that three Heavenly Emperors once jointly left their true words on it.

As the yellow paper burned to ashes and fell, all the anomalies were swept away.

Finally, peace returned to the world, and no more major upheavals occurred.

It was as if none of the strange changes had ever happened, but every evolved being knew that the mortal realm was different. The world was becoming more and more magnificent, the Great Dao was no longer lofty and distant, and the essence of life was bursting forth from all directions.

"The great Dao of this world is clearer now. I can even see the order laid out, the chains of rules stretching across the sky, suspended outside the firmament!" A powerful being was shocked, his pupils contracted, a wave of palpitations washed over him, and he felt a strong sense of unease.

He found that his decaying body was becoming increasingly strained, and he dared not make any rash moves, for fear that if he damaged the world, he would be injured by the backlash from the Great Dao of the Yang Realm.

"The rules of the world have been reorganized, and the power of order is stronger!"

Beyond the realm, in a chaotic and desolate land, a deep voice emanated. The suppressed martial madman roared, revealing a pair of scarlet eyes more terrifying than the sun in the darkness.

"The environment of this world is becoming increasingly mature. It's either a blessing to all living beings or the birth of the ultimate evolver. Damn it, why is the seal that's trapping me even stronger?!"

He was bound in shackles, and in his struggle, time itself seemed to go haywire, but he could not break free.

"Master, you are indeed alright!"

His disciples and followers breathed a sigh of relief upon finding the place, but were somewhat worried about their ancestor's condition. No matter how they looked at it, the invincible Martial Emperor in their hearts seemed to be trapped here, unable to escape. "Don't panic, my being trapped here is also a blessing in disguise," the Martial Madman said frankly. He was indeed trapped here, but not in a hopeless situation; there was still a glimmer of hope.

As long as one can take it a step further, escaping death is not difficult.

"The secrets of heaven are unclear, and the great path is ever-changing. Who can rise up and transform into an invincible body? It's hard to say. I too have a destiny, and I may well rise against the tide!"

The madman muttered to himself, and then his pupils, like celestial swords, emitted a resounding light.

"Is the Patriarch going to be invincible in heaven and earth?" Some people were stunned, then shocked and excited.

Shaohua gently raised her head, as if looking through the sky and hearing the voice from the chaos, and chuckled, "Hmm, you're quite ambitious. It wasn't for nothing that I left you a sliver of hope."

Given her status, even if she disliked someone, she wouldn't casually kill a junior. Suppressing them as a form of punishment would suffice, and the rest would be left to others to handle.

Reaching that level of cultivation is not easy, and it would be too wasteful to kill it directly. It's better to treat it as a test and leave it for Yao Yao to deal with later. The main point is to avoid wasting anything.

At this very moment, some powerful individuals in various parts of the mortal realm experienced a special feeling: some were about to achieve the supreme status and were about to compete to step into that highest realm.
In various continents, many old monsters and some beings aspiring to the ultimate evolution are no longer dormant. Amazing phenomena are constantly occurring in many famous mountains and rivers, with dazzling symbols weighing down the vast landscape.

"There's still a chance! I want to become the ultimate evolver!"

"The ultimate evolver will no longer be a legend; it's time for it to appear!"

In the mortal realm, all the famous mountains and rivers are sacred lands, places that cannot be trodden upon. Some areas are even forbidden zones, as even the most powerful races in the mortal realm never approach them.

In any extraordinary terrain, there may be unimaginable ancient monsters lurking and sleeping.

Among them, after several auras appeared, most of the mortal realm was filled with soft humming. Among them were myths from prehistoric mythology, unknown supreme creatures, and even beings buried in the same era as the Heavenly Emperor, all of which were revived in some secret soil!
During this period, peace was no longer restored in the mortal realm. The Great Dao manifested itself continuously, and all sorts of inconceivable and unusual phenomena appeared. Various Dao traces intertwined and fused together, condensing and evolving into an unparalleled Dao body every day, transforming into various creatures. It changed every day, as if it were proclaiming something.

"There is no mistake, the ultimate evolver is about to appear. Any race that manifests within the Great Dao and has Dao traces formed has the hope of merging with the Dao, achieving the ultimate leap, and giving birth to an unparalleled being!"

People of all ethnicities trembled, many were filled with envy and excitement, and then their blood boiled with passion.

"Is the legendary ultimate evolver really about to appear?" Many people are hoping that an ancient ancestor of their race will rise up and become the ultimate being.

People became increasingly convinced that a great change had begun.

"There is a change in the mortal realm. All beings of the heavens and the universe, as well as those aspiring to the ultimate path, are welcome to compete!"

The heavens are all in turmoil. Some forbidden areas and ancient roads of the major powers in the mortal realm can connect to the outside world. Some people have sent messages out, delivering letters to people outside the realm, and even sending information to beings on the path of other evolutionary civilizations!
However, all of this is temporarily irrelevant to Shaohua.

She settled temporarily on Huaguo Mountain, where she cultivated herself in seclusion while accompanying her mother and looking after her elderly father, who was exposed to the wind and sun on the mountaintop, trying to find a way to revive him.
Then one day, a loud roar suddenly erupted from the horizon not far away.

In an instant, many bolts of lightning appeared in the void of heaven and earth, intertwining across the sea and sky. These were heavenly tribulations and lightning punishments, which only beings of the heaven-defying level could disturb, touching certain taboos in the dark.

"Someone has forcibly crossed the cycle of reincarnation?" The Western Emperor raised his eyes, his gaze shining brightly.

This is incredible. You have to understand that the underworld was created by those three people. Who can go against the rules they set?

"A rather interesting little fellow, he possesses a priceless treasure." Shao Hua also glanced at it; although the stone jar had changed its appearance, she still instantly recognized it.

She was not surprised at all by Chu Feng's arrival, as she had anticipated it back in the mortal realm.

Although that world is recovering, it is ultimately not as vast as the divine land of the mortal realm. More importantly, it lacks various Taoist techniques and competitors.

Shallow waters cannot nurture true dragons; if one remains stagnant and complacent, one's achievements will be limited.

When Shao Hua left Kunlun, he broke through the abandoned cycle of reincarnation and left something along the way that could ensure some people could be reincarnated and continue their journey.

She also knew that "Little Flower," who had lent her power, had secretly left Lin Nuoyi a backup plan, but it seemed that she had taken a different approach.

A quick calculation revealed the answer.

The beast kings of Kunlun Mountain had already been reincarnated in the mortal world, and Lin Nuoyi had also arrived ahead of time in the neighboring Yuzhou. Only Chu Feng arrived last, causing quite a commotion.

"He's very fixated on this. He's unwilling to be reincarnated and has chosen to force his way through the cycle of reincarnation." Shao Hua shook her head. With that personality and that face, anyone who didn't know better would really think he was Ye Fan's reincarnation.

Unfortunately, the two had no connection whatsoever, and moreover, Ye Fan only believed in this life and did not care about the afterlife.

However, that strange face must be somewhat unusual. After regaining most of her memories, Shao Hua knew that Chu Feng's face was somewhat similar to Huang Ye's.

"Oh? An interesting little fellow?" The Western Emperor was slightly surprised.

"You'll see when you see him," Shaohua smiled, offering no further explanation.

After all, that face truly resembled that of an old friend.
