Chapter 22 Breaking Through the Heavenly Rank, Ambushing the Tomb Guardian
Sensing the vast consciousness that resided in the Nine Heavens, He Lang of the Divine Tomb chose to lie low. He opened his inner world and went inside to avoid the Heavenly Dao's spiritual consciousness that swept across the Six Realms.

This is a vast world, the same size as the human realm before the Great Cataclysm, complete with mountains, rivers, plants, trees, the sun, moon, and stars, with spiritual veins everywhere and perfect laws governing it.

This is a perfect world, not under the control of the Heavenly Dao of the Divine Tomb. As long as it absorbs enough of the origin of heaven and earth, it can grow into a perfect world like the Six Realms before the Great Cataclysm.

He combined the methods of the Origin Heaven to create a heaven-defying terrain in the inner world. At the center of the inner world, the earth's dragon veins were intertwined, with the large dragon veins connecting to the small dragon veins, transforming into a terrain where ten thousand dragons paid homage to the heavens, and forging a divine mountain that connects the heavens and the earth.

This sacred mountain is the center of the inner world, and it is also a means he specially created to steal the origin of the Heavenly Dao and the spiritual power of all living beings in the Divine Tomb World. It can use the power of the inner world to steal the origin of Heaven silently.

At the summit of the sacred mountain, nine ancestral veins of the earth resemble celestial dragons about to ascend to the heavens. At the tail of these nine true dragons, a stone coffin is connected to them, and the essence of heaven gathers and falls into the stone coffin.

The origin of heaven transformed this place into eternity, where the supreme laws manifest, making it incomparably sacred.

He Lang appeared before the stone coffin at the Divine Tomb. The stone coffin opened automatically, revealing the endless source of heaven and the spiritual power of all living beings within. The power of heaven and the power of all living beings intertwined, giving rise to the various mysteries of heaven and all living beings.

He Lang emerged from the stone coffin, his eyes revealing both Daoist and human nature. His demeanor was sometimes ancient and natural, like the ethereal Dao of Heaven, yet also exuding the warmth of human life, his temperament harmonious and natural.

Facing the most fundamental laws of Heaven and the evolution of the power of all living beings, He Lang's cultivation has advanced to an unimaginable level. With every move he makes, the laws of Heaven and Earth resonate with him, and with every thought he can capture fragments of the past and future.

"It seems that after I return, it won't be long before I can break through to the Quasi-Emperor realm with great speed. I just wonder if the geniuses of the Shrouding the Heavens world will have their Dao hearts shattered by then."

Seeing the aura flowing around He Lang, He Lang from the Divine Tomb smiled and said.

"I never expected to have such a great harvest in this world. It came at the perfect time."

He Lang also had a smile on his face, and could be said to be in high spirits. Even though the operation of the Great Dao Laws in the Shrouding the Heavens World was different from that in the Tomb of the Gods World, there would not be much change after he returned. However, he felt that his cultivation had already touched the threshold of the Quasi-Emperor realm.

"I'm about to undergo a transformation. This time, I must break through to the Heavenly Rank. When I emerge from seclusion, I'm going to devour those old geezers!"

As He Lang spoke, he suddenly began to grit his teeth.

The "old immortals" he referred to were several incredibly troublesome Heavenly Realm experts who had part of their origins devoured by him. After reviving, they relentlessly pursued his trail, interrupting his path of transformation several times. Otherwise, He Lang of the Divine Tomb wouldn't have been able to transform in the inner world; the broken Six Realms Continent was the best place for transformation.

He Lang entered the coffin in the Divine Tomb and began to break through to the Heavenly Realm. A Great Dao Treasure Bottle appeared above his head. This Great Dao Treasure Bottle had changed. It was no longer black. All things in heaven and earth and all spirits in the human world were imprinted on the four sides of the Great Dao Treasure Bottle, as if a world was floating above He Lang's head.

The Great Dao Treasure Bottle no longer emitted devouring power; it simply floated quietly above He Lang's head in the Divine Tomb, acting like the most wondrous spiritual essence in the world, drawing all things into it involuntarily.

As He Lang of the Divine Tomb activated his profound technique, the Heavenly Origin and the power of all living beings within the stone coffin directly surged into the Great Dao Treasure Bottle without any disturbance, becoming an integral part of the Great Dao Treasure Bottle.

Then the Great Dao Treasure Bottle sank into He Lang's body in the Divine Tomb and shattered directly. Endless essence flowed into He Lang's body, constantly tempering his flesh, bones, skin, and soul.

He Lang quietly observed the transformation process of the Divine Tomb He Lang from the side, memorizing all the changes. These were experiences that he could use when he broke through.

Countless sunrises and sunsets have occurred, yet the primordial energy of heaven and the power of all living beings gathered within the stone coffin have not diminished in the slightest. They continue to be drawn from the Dark Continent. Meanwhile, He Lang, the god within the stone coffin undergoing his final transformation, has also reached his ultimate metamorphosis. The countless bloodline powers within his body have been fused together, completely transforming into Chaos Blood. His physique, flowing with the Chaos Blood, is gradually evolving into an acquired Chaos Body.

Within his soul, an astonishing transformation was also taking place; his soul shed a layer of its outer layer, much like shedding its skin.

The newly formed soul was ethereal and its aura was elusive. It had no physical form and seemed to exist but not truly exist. Only the sounds of prayer and sacrifice echoed in his sea of ​​consciousness. A consciousness rapidly grew and manifested itself amidst the sacrificial sounds. In a certain instant, his physical body and soul both broke through the barrier of realm and achieved the Heavenly Rank.

"Finally, I've broken through to the Heavenly Realm."

A vast aura of celestial power reverberated within the inner world. He Lang of the Divine Tomb clenched his fists slightly, and the world barrier of the inner world was almost torn apart by him.

He gazed at the Dark Continent from within his inner world and realized that the Heavenly Dao consciousness had fallen into slumber at some point, which immediately excited him.

"Now that I have become a Heavenly Realm expert, and no Heavenly Realm expert is around, I have nothing to fear from others. It's time to find those old geezers and take revenge."

"First, I'll go find the old tomb keeper. That old bastard has ruined several of my plans, preventing me from devouring the remnants of the Heavenly Body. I'll teach him a lesson."

He Lang, the Divine Tomb, stepped out of the inner world and silently swept his divine sense across the Dark Continent, including the boundless chaos. After a moment, he revealed a smile.

In the eastern part of the Dark Continent, in the region where the mortal realm once stood, an old man with thinning hair and skin and bones walked with a cane across the land formed from endless white bones. He would occasionally emit beams of divine light, illuminating scenes in which a blurry being walked on the mortal land, with a Great Dao Treasure Bottle on its head, collecting something.

"So that brat's background is actually from the human world before the Great Cataclysm. This Great Cataclysm has given birth to another ruthless person. In him, I seem to see the shadow of that kid Dugu Baitian and the Demon Lord."

The old man raised his cane and tapped it, instantly shattering the image in the void and dissipating into nothingness.

"He's just too slippery. The old man has been chasing him for so long, but he's escaped time and time again. When I catch him, I'm going to give him a good kick in the butt."

At that moment, the old man's cloudy eyes shone with a dazzling divine light.

"Is that so? Old man, you still want to kick my ass? Die! Beidou Sealing Demon!"

Without a sound, a figure appeared behind the old man. The figure struck out with a palm, and seven ancient primordial stars directly materialized between the palm and fingers. The vast suppressive power of the Big Dipper pressed down on the old man, and the seven ancient stars fell into the old man's body, sealing away his divine power.

"It's you, kid! You've actually broken through to the Heavenly Realm!"

The old man remained calm even after his divine powers were sealed, until he turned to look at the figure behind him, at which point he revealed a surprised expression.

"Haha, fortunes change, and today you've finally fallen into my hands."

Looking at the sealed tomb guardian, He Lang of the Divine Tomb let out a strange, cacophony laugh.
