In the mythical age, I, Pangu, created the world and attained enlightenment.

Emperor Wushi gazed at the vast starry sky and couldn't help but sigh.

It's just unknown whether, after so much time has passed, he can still contend with Pangu Tianzun. When he left the strange world, he saw him one last time, and his cultivation had reached the pinnacle of the Immortal King realm!

He was not far from the Immortal King Tribulation, so he made up his mind and unleashed an extremely powerful force!
The two great paths of time and space intertwined, creating a dazzling light, and an unparalleled terror was brewing!
At the edge of the starry sea, chaos surges and boils, even the oldest stars have been extinguished, leaving only eternal darkness and nothingness!
Wu Shi stood with his hands behind his back, each step he took stirring up waves in the river of time. The ancient bronze bell floating above his head trembled slightly, and dark golden light flowed through the mottled cracks on its surface, as if sealing away the lamentations of all the heavens and myriad realms!
He raised his eyes to gaze into the depths of nothingness, his gaze piercing through the endless star field. Before his words had even finished, the entire universe suddenly fell into absolute silence; the wind stopped, the light vanished, the Dao disappeared, and even the sound of the flowing river of time ceased abruptly!

Darkness, like ink, invaded from all directions, obliterating stars and shattering laws wherever it passed. The figure of Wushi gradually blurred in the darkness, even swallowing the radiance of the Chaos Bell. This was no ordinary darkness, but the embodiment of the Great Dao's annihilation, attempting to completely erase existence itself from the world!
Wu Shi lightly tapped the bell with his finger, and a clear, resonant chime suddenly rang out. The sound waves transformed into tangible golden ripples, tearing a rift in the absolute darkness!
The crack revealed an unbelievable scene: the first ray of light after the creation of the world, the mournful cry of a primordial beast, the bonfire of ancient ancestors' sacrifices... This was the eternal era swallowed by eternal silence, which was now forcibly brought back by the sound of the bell!

The darkness twisted violently, transforming into a gigantic maw that threatened to swallow him whole. Wu Shi, however, stood with his eyes closed, allowing the darkness to consume his body. Just as the last wisp of white robe was about to vanish…

"Destroy!"

The Chaos Bell suddenly swelled, its mouth tilting upwards, sucking in the entire darkness. Spiderweb-like cracks instantly spread across the bell's surface, yet it ultimately did not break.
Before the clouds of calamity had dispersed, countless crystalline threads suddenly appeared in the void, each one entwined with fragments of time. These threads intertwined to form a net, enveloping the beginningless void within.

The moment the silk threads tightened, Wu Shi's temples turned frost-white at a visible speed. His figure began to blur, sometimes transforming into an infant in swaddling clothes, sometimes into a frail old man, and even completely dissipating in a certain moment—this was the backlash of the river of time, trying to completely disrupt the traces of his existence!
Wu Shi pointed his fingers like a sword, drawing a profound trajectory in the void. Wherever the trajectory passed, the threads of time snapped, and the shattered fragments of time coalesced in his palm into a transparent longsword!

The blade reflects countless versions of himself across time and space: a youth seeking enlightenment by the Jade Pool, a young man fighting a bloody battle at the Undying Mountain, and a supreme being who reigns supreme over the Purple Mountain, intimidating the forbidden zone...

"cut!"

With a sweeping flash of light, all the chaotic threads of time were forcibly unified. White hair turned black, wrinkles smoothed out, and the white-clad figure solidified once more, exuding an even more detached indifference beyond the passage of time.

A thunderous roar echoed from the depths of the calamity clouds, and nine colossal bronze gates appeared out of thin air. The gates were carved with ferocious ancient beasts, and a viscous, blood-red light seeped from the cracks.

The first door burst open, and out stepped a golden giant with three heads and six arms, holding the sun and moon wheels, with ninety-nine burning stars floating behind him.

Emerging from the second door was a gaunt old Taoist priest, his body bound in chains, each chain fastened to the roaring head of a supreme being.

The third door...

Until the ninth door opened, a white-robed man emerged who looked exactly like Wushi, except that his eyes were filled with overwhelming demonic energy!

The primordial chaos shattered the galaxy, and the Chaos Bell, now the size of a mountain, hung above his head. With his left hand forming the Sun and Moon Seal and his right hand performing the Heaven and Earth Seal, he simultaneously fought against the nine great tribulation shadows!

The golden giant's head was smashed by his palm, the withered old man's chains were torn off, and the demonized Wushi's attack was returned to him with the same move...!
Blood rained down into the void, each drop transforming into crimson lightning. As the last calamity shadow crumbled, the nine colossal bronze gates suddenly merged, transforming into a black hole that devoured everything!

The black hole twisted and expanded, eventually exploding into billions of points of light. As the points of light reformed, a flawless figure emerged from the light, with eyebrows like distant mountains, eyes containing galaxies, and the body bound by chains of the Three Thousand Great Daos.

This was the imprint of the Heavenly Dao, a mark of the Beginningless, yet even more powerful than his original form. The Dao Tribulation Incarnation waved his hand lightly, and the Chaos Bell broke free from the Beginningless's control, flying back into his hand! As the bell rang, time began to flow backward across the entire star field, and the Beginningless's white robes gradually faded, as if to revert him to his mortal state before cultivation!
"war!"

The true beginningless and unregressive advance, tearing apart the reversed flow of time with bare hands.

His fist collided with the palm print of the Dao Tribulation incarnation. There was no dazzling light, no deafening roar, only the purest Dao principles were annihilated!
Every clash results in the annihilation of galaxies, and every near miss causes ancient realms to collapse in the aftershocks!

In the heat of battle, Wushi suddenly stopped, allowing Daojie's incarnation to pierce his chest with a single palm strike.

"You are ultimately just a shadow."

His blood-stained finger pressed against the avatar's brow, and a wisp of chaotic energy flowed into it from his fingertip. The avatar's pupils suddenly contracted, and its body began to disintegrate, transforming into a shower of light that merged into Wushi's body.

The instant the rain of light ceased, a crisp sound like shattering glass echoed from the depths of the universe. Wushi's physical body began to etherealize, every inch of his skin adorned with Dao runes, and starlight flowed through his hair!

As the Chaos Bell fell with a mournful cry, it suddenly stopped before hitting the ground.

A sigh echoed in the void.

"Names can be forgotten, causes and effects can be severed, but only this path...!"

The figure that should have vanished completely reformed, even more solid than before. He reached out and caught the Chaos Bell, and when the bell rang again, it shattered the world!

The calamity clouds dispersed, and the galaxy was reshaped. Wushi stood at the center of the reconstructed universe, countless golden paths stretching out beneath his feet. He raised a hand and gently stroked the bell, repairing all the cracks, and a roar like that of a primordial beast emanated from within!
He had finally survived the tribulation of becoming a Celestial King. With his back to the world, as if he were turning his back to all living beings, his body shimmered with unparalleled celestial light!
He has now entered the Immortal King realm and is on par with the protagonist Ye Fan, but there is still a huge gap between him and Feng Qingyang!
Of course, Wu Shi was unaware of all this. His gaze was fixed on the void, and he sighed.

His figure then vanished from the spot, leaving behind traces that probably no living being would dare to set foot there!
It was absolutely terrifying!
With two of the three members of the "Covering the Sky" trio now becoming Immortal Kings, it's only a matter of time before the Ruthless One follows suit!

At the same time, Feng Qingyang slowly opened his eyes, looked at the world around him, and said with emotion.

"After so much time, we've finally reached the level of a supreme giant!"

However, he still needs to go some distance to break through. Once he reaches this level, he plans to go to the strange forces in the Soul River to investigate!
Once I reach the realm of Quasi-Immortal Emperor or above, I will completely destroy this place. It probably won't be long!
