Secular world: My destiny has no taboos

Chapter 509, Section 519: Transforming from Mortal to Immortal

"boom!!"

The sun and moon burn together, yet their brilliance shines on each other.

The clash between the black sun and the blood moon was like a confrontation between two different worlds, erupting into a heart-wrenching battle.

The entire city of Luozhou was enveloped in a black and red hue, and countless people looked up at the sky, staring in disbelief at the scene, unable to recover for a long time.

This scene reminded them of the time when the Xuanhuang Hungry Ghosts still existed.

Everything in the world and the environment is being distorted and changed by this terrifying force. Ordinary people are like ants, with no right to decide their own survival.

The two investigators sent by the Bai Xian clan hadn't left yet. Ku Ju and Ku He were standing on the top of the city wall of Xiangfeng City, staring at the black sun and blood moon colliding in the sky. They were speechless, their eyes filled with nothing but shock.

"This display is far, far stronger than when our ancestor used his magic!"

"What exactly happened?" Kuju swallowed hard and murmured to herself.

"This Luo Prefecture is constantly plagued by wars and strange celestial phenomena, which is completely different from what that fox spirit lady described!"

After a moment of silence, Ku He said, "The world is currently engulfed in war. Do you think other places are peaceful?"

Then, Ku He raised his head and looked at the strange phenomenon on the horizon, and said calmly, "Such a big commotion is something that a minor deity could never accomplish. It is something that is more powerful than a minor deity or a human immortal."

Kuju was taken aback by his words and asked in a trembling voice, "Are you talking about the Great God of Mundane Things... or the Great Luo?"

"How should I know!" Ku He shook his head.

He's barely a hedgehog who's just stepped into the Divine Realm; he's just a bit more knowledgeable because he's read a lot of books.

"Let's see what happens to Luozhou after this celestial phenomenon. We also need to make a decision quickly: whether to cooperate or refuse. Baishan can't be delayed any longer."

"The fox spirit was right about one thing: in times of chaos, which state can escape unscathed? In the end, a choice must be made."

"Instead of hesitating, it's better to choose a side sooner rather than later."

Upon hearing this, Kuju asked in surprise, "Now even you think that way?"

Ku He asked helplessly, "How long do you think Baishan can withstand these magnificent forces?"

"Instead of waiting for someone to storm our mountain gate and turn us into slaves, it's better to choose a good side early on, so we can at least live a peaceful life."

Upon hearing this, Kuju's eyes dimmed, she nodded, and said nothing more.

There are many people like Kuhe Kuju who are discussing unusual celestial phenomena. Ordinary people don't have many ways to pass the time, so observing the things around them has become a hobby for most people.

At the same time, the contest between Lin Beixuan and Zigu Goddess officially began.

Zigu's gaze shifted from the imposing figure to the face of the person sitting cross-legged on the bluestone.

"I didn't expect you to break through so quickly!" Zi Gu Shen stared at Lin Bei Xuan's cold eyes and said in a cold tone.

She stood still, letting Lin Beixuan slowly stand up, his powerful aura ruffling her clothes and hair.

Under microscopic magnification, the clothes on her body, which were formed from countless wronged souls, were now tearing apart inch by inch and gradually becoming disheveled.

Previously, Ajiu and Jueze could only barely break through Zigu Goddess's defenses, but now they were torn apart by the aura emanating from Lin Beixuan.

Countless wronged souls wailed and screamed, their mouths agape in agony, tearing at their own faces with their hands.

Because the power Lin Beixuan inadvertently emitted was too restraining to Yin spirits, they felt as if they had encountered a natural enemy, and their bodies were constantly subjected to scorching heat and pain.

The robes of the goddess Zigu fluttered in the wind, and every moment, wronged souls could not bear it and died.

She said calmly, "You are the most special person I have ever met!"

"Thanks for the compliment."

Lin Beixuan dusted off the corner of his clothes, and an invisible power surged around him, making every movement of his seem to conform to the laws of heaven and earth, carrying immense power.

Zigu Goddess continued, "To have grasped the power of authority so soon after stepping into the realm of Human Immortals is simply unbelievable!"

Authority is the power closest to the power of rules above all else. It can transform the power of the path into its own use in a domineering manner, and at the same time, it can influence the flow of power between heaven and earth, and play a role in suppressing the power of mortal gods.

Zigu felt a similar oppressive aura emanating from Lin Beixuan, an aura of authority and the majesty of ruling the world.

However, the authority that Lin Beixuan wields is fundamentally different from her power.

The Lord of Calamity, the Heavenly Tribulation Killing Seal.

It is a power that controls life, death, and calamities.

All living things are subject to birth and death, and even mortal beings cannot avoid it, let alone great mortal gods.

Therefore, when Zigu realized that Lin Beixuan's power was a calamity and a matter of life and death, her eyes gradually became solemn.

Not only do they wield power with the appearance of immortals, but they also face extremely terrifying calamities and life-or-death situations.

Even mortal gods suffer from three calamities and nine tribulations. Now that the mortal world is in chaos, the calamities are even more severe. This means that the power of the other party's calamity authority will be even stronger and its killing intent even greater.

"Calamity and life and death, the underworld and reincarnation, you have indeed brought a different kind of change to this world." Zi Gu stared intently at Lin Beixuan, her eyes filled with both fear and a hint of envy.

Before coming here, she had somewhat underestimated Lin Beixuan's strength after he ascended to the Human Immortal realm.

But now that she has seen the power Lin Beixuan wields, that contempt has slowly faded from her heart.

Turning her gaze back, Zigu recalled the words the Evil Spirit True Lord had spoken to her when they exchanged a message.

Although the other party's expression and tone seemed relaxed at the time, they still carried a hint of seriousness.

"I've dealt with this Lord of the Northern Underworld twice, and I was defeated by him both times. Although he's only at the Divine Invocation Realm, his strength is unpredictable and his power is ever-changing. If necessary, I suggest you choose to kill him outright..."

The words of the Evil Spirit True Lord echoed in the ears of the Goddess Zigu.

A purplish-red light flashed in Zi Gu's eyes. She slightly raised her hand, and the power around her surged out like a tsunami.

Lin Beixuan also looked up, and the word "urgent" flashed on the panel in his mind.

[You have entered a special area: Purple Moon Palace.]

[The guide to the mortal deity's dojo is now available; information on the dojo - Purple Moon Pavilion has been unlocked.]

[Purple Moon Palace: A sacred altar and ritual site for countless evil spirits and demons, a celestial palace amidst earthly monsters, where emotions are inverted and intertwined. Evil arises from the heart, the original spirit is distorted, hearts are ripped out and hearts are broken. Although the celestial gods are superior to all things, they still cannot eliminate the seven emotions, with the poison of emotion being the most intense. This is to keep countless evil beings at bay, lest they cause chaos and disorder in the law.]

[Note: While in the Purple Moon Altar sacrificial grounds, affected by the calamity and misfortune of the great mortal goddess, Zi Gu, all life forms within the altar will suffer a 20% decrease in all attributes, becoming devoid of heart and nature, and endlessly defiled. All life forms in the sacrificial grounds will be forcibly pulled into the 'Heavenly Palace,' stripped of their seven emotions and six desires.]

[Note: If you are present at the Purple Moon Altar sacrificial site, you will be continuously affected by 'Mirror Weeping,' facing the deep-seated poison of love and the corrosive effects of burning candles every second, resulting in a significant reduction in your lifespan.]

[Note: If you are present at the Purple Moon Palace sacrificial site, there is a chance you will be pulled into the 'Wraith Ruins,' where joy and sorrow are intertwined, and all those with close blood ties will suffer the consequences.]

[Note: When a being exists within the Purple Moon Altar sacrificial grounds and is affected by both the Mirror's Cry and the Wraith Ruins, their divinity will be distorted, corrupted, and forcibly enter a state of evil prayer and curse. In this state, the effects on male beings are doubled.]

[Note: The Purple Moon Altar cannot be covered by lower-level altars and cannot be neutralized.]

[You have encountered a special target: the powerful goddess Zigu.]

[The Compendium of Mortal Gods is now open; partial information about the Goddess Zigu is unlocked.] [You encountered and fought against the Great Mortal Goddess Zigu, successfully obtaining a fragment of her destiny—the Purple Immortal Destiny—from her.]

[Purple Immortal Destiny (Gold): A celestial maiden in the heavenly palace, blessed with the destiny of a supreme immortal, born of extreme nobility, possessing the bearing of a celestial maiden, destined for a thousand years, impervious to all evil and warded off by all magic.]

……

……

In Lin Beixuan's eyes, the information about the Goddess Zigu appeared and flickered like subtitles.

He felt the oppressive aura emanating from the Goddess Zigu, and enjoyed the sensation of his entire body's muscles, bones, and even blood flowing faster.

This time is different!
It was completely different from how he felt when he faced the Evil Spirit Lord before.

This time, he was more confident, as if there was an infinite power surging and rolling within his body, wanting to erupt like a volcano under the immense pressure from his opponent.

He is now countless times stronger than when he was in the Divine Realm.

Once one enters the realm of immortals, it officially signifies the transformation from mortal to immortal, a leap in the essence of life.

If the maximum lifespan at the Divine Realm is 150 years, then once one steps into the Human Immortal Realm, lifespan will instantly increase more than threefold. If one specializes in cultivating techniques like the Everlasting Spring Technique, the lifespan increase may be even higher.

At that moment, Lin Beixuan felt an unprecedented sense of ease in his body.

Unlike ordinary mortals, his body also entered the mortal world.

In other words, even if he leaves the secular world and returns to the present world, he can live for at least five hundred years without being affected by secularization.

This has completely broken through the limitations of the current level of life. If it were in ancient times, it would indeed be worthy of the name of a terrestrial immortal.

Faced with the power of the Purple Maiden Goddess, Lin Beixuan slowly raised his hand, and an invisible force surged forth.

"Make a choice!" Lin Beixuan said calmly.

Ajiu, who was watching the battle from the side, only felt a dazzling stream of light flash before her eyes. Then, a long sword with an exquisite and grand design, with blue and purple light flowing throughout its body, appeared in Lin Beixuan's palm.

Choice - Demon Sword Form.

"call--"

Lin Beixuan exhaled softly and, under the gaze of the Goddess Zigu, slowly took a step forward.

This step caused the earth to shake and mountains to tremble. Thunder roared in the sky, and the black sun emitted boundless calamity energy, making Lin Beixuan's figure appear even more mysterious and towering.

Lin Beixuan's mind echoed with the cheerful and joyful words on the panel when he had fully entered the Human Immortal Realm.

[You have successfully transcended the mortal realm and ascended to immortality, your life has undergone a fundamental evolution, your divine domain has been strengthened, your temples and shrines have been further consolidated, and your every word and deed is imbued with divinity.]

[Your Yin Lightning and Calamity Qi have merged, allowing you to control Heavenly Tribulations to a certain extent.]

[Your karmic flames and calamity energy have merged, allowing you to control the calamity flames to a certain extent.]

[Your Spirit Sealing Domain has merged with the Calamity Qi, allowing you to manipulate the earth's veins and extract their energy to a certain extent.]

Your Netherworld Domain has been upgraded to the Nine Netherworld Domain.

[The Nine Netherworld: Connecting the Nine Heavens above and the Nine Netherworld below, it is said to be invisible and silent, hence the name Netherworld...]

……

"Come, let me test the strength of the Great God of Mundane God!"

The decision trembled. Lin Beixuan stood with his sword in hand, his aura as imposing as a rainbow.

Sensing its master's fighting spirit, the Sword of Choice emitted a series of hums, as if roaring with excitement.

As Lin Beixuan took a step, the ground beneath his feet instantly cracked, with cracks spreading outwards like a spider web.

"Bah!!"

Ajiu, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but open her mouth wide, feeling that the energy in front of her was so chaotic that she couldn't even tell what was going on.

"This isn't just a mortal immortal, this is practically a Great Luo Immortal!"

Ajiu couldn't help but recall the image of a certain person.

That was Yang Tian, ​​the founding emperor of all dynasties.

She originally followed Yang Tian, ​​suppressing all things in heaven and earth with her Xuanhuang form. Apart from the mortal lord and the Nine Netherworld, there was nothing she could not suppress.

Even the most powerful and mortal gods, she had suppressed quite a few of them in the past.

"boom!!"

Lin Beixuan and Zigu finally clashed, just like the black sun and the blood-red crescent moon in the sky.

The goddess Zigu was stunningly beautiful, and her ghostly robes, imbued with vengeful spirits, drifted away like smoke under the influence of Lin Beixuan's power.

Her long, black hair flew in the air, and suddenly a few strands fell to the ground, where they quickly began to grow back.

These long hairs transformed into a large tree, which sprouted branches and green leaves at a speed visible to the naked eye... and then blossomed with pink flowers.

Zigu stood under the tree, looked at Lin Beixuan, and swung her sword.

The two enormous forces collided, and the resulting shockwaves caused cracks to appear in the sky, with countless dark fissures spreading across the sky above Luozhou.

The sky cracked!
Ajiu didn't know how to describe the scene before her. Compared to the sword strike she had made before, it was like child's play compared to the sword strike Lin Beixuan was making now.

Not far from Forget-Me-Not Mountain, Fox Spirit God and the others were also staring blankly at the countless cracks in the sky.

Without even needing to guess, they already knew what had happened on the summit of Forget-Worry Mountain.

"He has successfully broken through to the Human Immortal realm!"

The god stared blankly in one direction, muttering to himself, his eyes filled with complex emotions—amazement, envy, but mostly relief.

She was the first mortal deity to follow Lin Beixuan after he entered Luozhou, even before the Fox Spirit Goddess.

She also witnessed Lin Beixuan's journey from establishing his own household to becoming a deity, and now to becoming a human immortal.

Recalling those past moments, the God of the Witch couldn't help but smile.

That little guy, who used to be careful even when facing demons, has now become someone who can face a great god without being at a disadvantage, has completely exceeded her imagination.

The fact that she could kill the Xuanhuang Hungry Ghost with the power of a divine being was something that shocked her.

Now that Lin Beixuan is holding his own against Zigu, she has come to realize the immense potential that man possesses.

The God of the Yu raised his head slightly, his gaze passing through the tribulation clouds gathering above Mount Wangyou, as if he could see the scene of fierce battle within them.

The fox spirit beside her sighed softly: "I never imagined that he would grow to this level in such a short time."

"Perhaps, this chaotic world will truly change because of him, just like that person did back then!"
