The Eastern Emperor of all Heavens did not wish to become a Buddha.

Chapter 104 Re-entering the Heaven-Covering Realm and Breaking Through the Four Extremes
Time and space change, the bell tolls melodiously.

Zhong Xu's consciousness was immersed in this special state, without any thoughts or ideas, and without any concept of time and space.

After an unknown amount of time, his consciousness quietly descended, detaching from this special state and returning to his body.

He slowly opened his eyes, and his figure had returned to the universe of "Covering the Sky" and back to the main hall before his transmigration.

Buzz

The moment he returned to this universe, Zhong Xu felt as if his limbs were connected to the four poles of heaven and earth around him, as if they were extending into the void and connecting with the great Dao of heaven and earth.

The rules and principles of heaven and earth became so clear at this moment, as if they were about to merge with him.

A sense of fulfillment welled up in Zhong Xu's mind, giving him the feeling that he could immediately overcome the current obstacle and step into a new realm.

'Four poles'.

A sudden realization dawned on Zhong Xu's mind. He understood that with just a thought, he could enter the Four Extremes Secret Realm, connect with the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, and step into a new realm.

'In that case, it's time to break through!'

The moment the thought crossed his mind, the Daoist scriptures within Zhong Xu's body began to operate automatically, breaking through to a new realm.

boom

Five divine lights shot into the sky, piercing through the clouds, like five soaring dragons, causing the primordial energy of heaven and earth to tremble, and could be clearly seen for thousands of miles around.

Within the Ji family, the cultivators were startled by the sudden appearance of the celestial phenomenon and all looked toward the five beams of divine light soaring into the sky.

"That is?"

"The five elements soar to the heavens"

"What happened?"

Exclamations of surprise rang out as the powerful figures of the Ji family sensed the direction from which the strange phenomenon was coming and immediately understood what was happening.

"It's that demon emperor from the Azure Emperor's lineage!"

Is he about to enter the realm of the four extremes?

"Such profound accumulation, no wonder it was able to defeat the Divine King Body of our Ji family!"

Outside the main hall, Himeko appeared, looking at the figure breaking through inside. Sensing the vast aura emanating from the other, a hint of surprise appeared in her eyes.

Even he, the emperor's son, couldn't help but marvel at the profound accumulation of knowledge and experience of this young demon emperor, which was simply beyond imagination.

Subsequently, the powerful figures from the Ji family, as well as the powerful figures from the demon race, such as the Crimson Dragon Daoist, the Peacock King, and other demon cultivators from the Azure Emperor lineage, including Yan Ruyu, also arrived at this place. They looked at the figure breaking through in the main hall with expectant eyes.

Their Demon Emperor had not yet entered the Four Extremes Realm, yet he easily defeated the Ji family's Divine King Body.

Once one enters the Four Extremes Realm, connects with the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, achieves minor success in cultivation, and truly begins to display combat power, among the younger generation of the entire Eastern Wilderness, there will probably be no one who can rival them.

Just then, the world became hazy, as if a series of Dao sounds woven from the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth resounded.

Three flowers of the Great Dao appeared between heaven and earth, blooming quietly, with endless Daoist charm flowing around them, as if transforming the entire world into a Daoist domain.

"Three flowers gather at the top, five energies converge at the origin."

Feeling the profound Daoist aura permeating the world, everyone had a dreamlike feeling. Could this be something that the Dao Palace Secret Realm could do?

"Does it mean we should follow the example of the ancient sages and cultivate a single, secret realm?"

Himeko's face showed a hint of doubt, but this Demon Emperor was clearly following the normal path of the Five Great Secret Realms!
Inside the main hall, the sound of scriptures echoed from Zhong Xu's Dao Palace Secret Realm, seemingly coming from the past and future, chanting for this world.

His limbs reached into the void of heaven and earth, as if they had transformed into the four pillars of heaven, connecting with the great Dao of heaven and earth.

Mysterious patterns appeared, reflecting both his own understanding of the Great Dao and the rules and order of the world, constantly imprinting themselves on his limbs, connecting his Four Extremes Secret Realm with the entire world.

Rumble

At this moment, Zhong Xu was like a primordial god or demon sitting cross-legged in chaos, his limbs transforming into the four poles of heaven and earth, like pillars supporting the heavens and earth.

Buzz

As his Four Extremes Secret Realm connected with the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, Zhong Xu's Sea of ​​Wheels Secret Realm and Dao Palace Secret Realm also merged with the outside world, and his own extraordinary phenomena underwent a transformation.

Buzz

The world became hazy, with endless mist appearing between heaven and earth, layer upon layer, condensing into an endless sky, like vast and boundless ancient celestial realms, within which there were five magnificent and sacred palaces, together forming an unparalleled heavenly court that suppressed everything.

A majestic yet hazy figure stands above the ancient celestial realm, holding an ancient bronze bell. As the bell sways, it chimes softly, causing time to fluctuate and the years to flow backward.

The vast scene and overwhelming power shook the hearts of everyone around.

"This is."

"An unusual phenomenon."

"What kind of strange phenomenon is this? How can it be so terrifying?"

Although entering the Four Extremes Secret Realm allows one to connect with the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, enabling extraordinary phenomena to manifest in the world, the extraordinary phenomena manifested by this Demon Emperor were far too powerful.

Just looking at that hazy figure holding the ancient bell, everyone felt a deep sense of awe, as if they were facing the very top of the food chain.

Amidst the crowd, Yan Ruyu gazed at the majestic figure standing atop the ancient celestial realm, a glint of wonder flashing in her beautiful eyes.

Although she had seen this phenomenon before due to the influence of the demon emperor in front of her, she only truly felt how powerful it was now that it had truly manifested between heaven and earth.

She herself also possessed the extraordinary phenomenon of the sea of ​​reincarnation, and the golden lotus that grew in the sea of ​​suffering.

But compared to the extraordinary phenomenon of the Demon Emperor before them, it was like a firefly compared to the bright moon—completely on a different level.

"So this is the complete state of your phenomenon!"

A soft sigh escaped her lips, and Ji Haoyue looked dazed.

Such a terrifying phenomenon is no wonder it could easily crush his own phenomenon of the Sea of ​​Wheels, the bright moon rising over the sea.

Wow

Just as everyone was shaken by the strange phenomenon in the world, the illusory sound of flowing water rang out, and an ancient river appeared around the hazy figure holding the ancient bell, flowing continuously, carrying the breath of time and years.

At one end of the long river, a figure holding an ancient mirror stands tall, exuding an eternal aura that has remained unchanged since time immemorial, suppressing the heavens and the universe.

On the other side of the long river, a figure holding a long sword floated up and down, his aura constantly changing, and his body was filled with the radiance of humanity.

The three figures seemed to be located in the past, present, and future, respectively, pervading all of time and space.

"The strange phenomenon is still changing!"

"Is that the river of time? I can feel the breath of the years within it!"

"how is this possible?"

"Could it be that this Demon Emperor has mastered the power of time?" Exclamations rang out. Looking at the long river surrounding the figure holding the bell, everyone felt as if they were being washed by the river of time, and their minds seemed to have become a little more weathered.

"The Forgotten Self, the True Self, and the Way Self"

A whisper came from Himeko's mouth as she looked at the three figures, a hint of undisguised surprise in her eyes.

As the son of an emperor, he naturally knew that in addition to the five great divine treasures, the Dao Palace Secret Realm also contained the mysteries of the past self, the true self, and the Dao self, but very few people were able to truly uncover them.

The demon emperor before them had clearly awakened his former self, true self, and Dao self, and was extremely powerful.

At the same time, looking at the figure holding the ancient mirror, Himeko's eyes showed a hint of bewilderment.

In a daze, he seemed to see his father, the Void Emperor.

This demon emperor's control over the Great Dao of the Void far surpasses that of the Ji family descendants of the same level.

Teng

As the strange phenomena of heaven and earth changed, Zhong Xu's body also began to transform.

As the Four Extremes Secret Realm connects with the void of heaven and earth, linking with the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, rules and order are imprinted on his limbs, and endless essence of heaven and earth also flows into his body, constantly refining his physical body.

His body seemed to burst into flames, and his vast blood and energy transformed into a divine dragon, soaring into the sky.

As he burned, every inch of his flesh, every bone, and every drop of his blood underwent a complete transformation.

As his flesh and bones transformed, his aura gradually strengthened, like a giant dragon awakening, radiating a terrifying aura that made people's hearts tremble.

After an unknown amount of time, Zhong Xu suddenly opened his eyes, and the entire world brightened up. A vast aura surged into the sky, causing the entire celestial phenomenon to change.

Amidst the crowd, Ji Haoyue felt a tremor in his heart. Just by sensing the immense aura emanating from this demon emperor, he felt his entire body tremble uncontrollably.

So strong!

Not only Ji Haoyue, but even some of the Ji family elders in the surrounding Dragon Transformation Secret Realm felt an indescribable sense of oppression when they sensed the aura emanating from this Demon Emperor.

bang
Just then, a deafening roar resounded, thunder suddenly crackled and lightning flashed across the sky, a fierce wind arose, and boundless dark clouds gathered.

A vast and mighty force swept in, as if the entire world had been enraged, turning the sky dark and gloomy.

Thunder!

Bolts of lightning danced in the clouds, radiating a terrifying divine might.

"Thunder!"

A gasp rang out, and someone snapped out of their daze, quickly saying:
"No, it's a heavenly tribulation!"

"how is this possible?"

"How could a heavenly tribulation possibly occur upon entering the Four Extremes Domain?"

Everyone looked incredulous, even though they had heard that in the past, a few extraordinary geniuses had encountered heavenly tribulations when breaking through to higher realms.

However, the heavenly tribulation they encountered upon entering the Four Extremes Secret Realm still gave them a dreamlike feeling.

Just how deep is this demon emperor's accumulation of power? Even the heavens have to send down a heavenly tribulation to prevent him from entering the Four Extremes Realm!
Among the group, only Himeko's expression remained largely unchanged, as if she had anticipated this.

On the other side, Zhong Xu looked brightly at the lightning flashing in the sky, feeling the vast power of heaven contained within it, without any fear in his eyes.

It's just a tribulation of lightning, nothing serious.

In this world of unyielding heroes, which supreme being hasn't been struck by lightning a few times in their youth?
People like Ye Fan, with their powerful Ancient Sacred Body, can bathe and refine weapons directly in the lightning tribulation, completely treating the lightning tribulation as a cultivation resource.

Ruthless individuals like Shi Hao even snatched the Thunder Pool during their tribulation and forged it into their own weapon for proving their Dao.

For cultivators who cultivate using their bodies as a seed system, the tribulation of lightning can be considered a great gift from heaven.

Of course, this gift is not for everyone; if you can't handle it, you'll naturally be reduced to ashes by the lightning tribulation.

bang
A deafening thunderclap resounded, and a bolt of purple lightning, imbued with destructive power, descended from the sky, striking directly at Zhong Xu.

crackling
As the purple lightning struck, Zhong Xu's body shone with a crystal-clear light, carrying a trace of immortality, and he remained unaffected.

Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but curse him as a monster.

Even the power of heavenly tribulation couldn't harm this demon emperor; just how powerful is his physique?

However, seeing the lightning still gathering, Zhong Xu suddenly realized something and instantly transformed into a streak of light, rushing towards the distant horizon.

He is still within the Ji family's territory and is unaware of the extent of his tribulation. He does not want to destroy the Ji family in the process.

As Zhong Xu's figure disappeared, Lei Ting followed closely behind.

Seeing this, the Ji family members breathed a sigh of relief.

This is a calamity sent down by Heaven. Once it breaks out in the Ji family's territory, they will not dare to intervene or even stop it.

Otherwise, under the pull of the Qi, the Heavenly Tribulation would directly rise to their level, which would be equivalent to them undergoing tribulation together, and then they would be completely doomed.

With these thoughts racing through their minds, and seeing the departing lightning tribulation, the Ji family members and the demons of the demon race instantly transformed into streaks of rainbow light and chased after the lightning tribulation.

In a vast, desolate mountain range, after the group caught up, all they could see was an ocean composed entirely of lightning.

Boundless lightning continued to fall, carrying a vast and awe-inspiring power that shook heaven and earth, forming a sea of ​​lightning. Even just watching from afar, everyone couldn't help but feel fear.

This is the true power of heaven and earth, which cannot be shaken by human power!
In the sea of ​​thunder, Zhong Xu was enveloped by endless lightning, constantly undergoing various forms of lightning baptism.

Five Elements Divine Thunder, Yin-Yang Divine Thunder, Creation Divine Thunder, Destruction Divine Thunder, Great Evolution Divine Thunder.
Various kinds of divine lightning surrounded him, forming a world of divine punishment, as if to completely destroy him.

Having cultivated multiple peerless inheritances from the other shore, and being taught by the Mars Saint Body, an existence comparable to an emperor, and having heard the Great Accomplished Saint Body Huang and the Mars Saint Body discuss the Dao, and possessing the Emperor Heart of the Azure Emperor within his body, as well as the cultivation system of the One World Law, Zhong Xu's accumulation at this time can be described as terrifying.

This tribulation descended almost exactly according to his foundation and accumulation, unlike the tribulation that a normal cultivator of the Four Extremes should encounter.

Even though his physique was already terrifyingly powerful, it was still shattered by endless lightning, blood splattered, his flesh was broken, and his white bones were exposed.

Moreover, the moment the blood flew out, it was instantly turned to ashes by the boundless lightning, demonstrating the terrifying nature of this heavenly tribulation.

However, despite the tribulation and the damage to his physical body, Zhong Xu's expression did not change much. He even actively circulated the various techniques and scriptures he had mastered, absorbing the power of lightning into his body and constantly refining his essence, energy, and spirit.

Within his chakra, a massive yin-yang symbol appeared, encompassing life and death, embodying yin and yang, transforming the destructive intent within the thunder into boundless vitality, which in turn repaired the injuries all over his body.

Within the Dao Palace, three majestic figures reign supreme, while five Dao Emperors suppress the five palaces, forming a vast Heavenly Court.

The sounds of scriptures echoed continuously, like ancient sacrificial chants, reverberating in Zhong Xu's mind and strengthening his will. This allowed his spirit to continuously absorb the power of thunder, using its divine might to refine his spirit and temper his will, causing his consciousness to undergo constant transformation.

Within his Four Extremes Secret Realm, countless Dao patterns appeared on his limbs, absorbing the Dao and principles within the Heavenly Tribulation and continuously imprinting them onto his body, making his body increasingly in harmony with the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.

Thunder is the pivot of heaven and earth, the general principle of yin and yang, and also the way of yin and yang, and the way of creation.

For Zhong Xu, this tribulation was not only a calamity but also a great opportunity, allowing him to undergo a complete transformation from the inside out.

This is also why he chose to return to the Shrouding the Heavens universe and then break through the Four Extremes Secret Realm.
