Chapter 385 Transcendence, Roaming Beyond the Realm! (The Finale)

After dealing with the Heavenly Evil God, Lu Yu looked up at the Sky Ranking, which still stretched across the heavens and earth, radiating vast majesty and boundless spiritual light.

On the list, the brand-new character "Lu" shone brightly, as if it contained the supreme recognition and authority of the entire world.

Countless gazes, filled with awe, admiration, and excitement, focused on the list and the figures below it.

In everyone's eyes, Lu Yu has reached the pinnacle, becoming the new guardian and supreme being of the vast world. The fact that his name is engraved on the Heavenly Ranking is the best proof of this.

However, when Lu Yu looked at the character "Lu", his eyes were deep and calm, without much excitement.

He clearly sensed that while the Sky Ranking bestowed upon him the power and recognition of the world, there also seemed to be an invisible constraint originating from the very source of this world, quietly binding him.

This is not malicious; rather, it is more like a "reliance" and "commitment" to the world, a connection that completely binds him to this world, making them share weal and woe.

The transcendence he seeks is true freedom and unhinderedness, surpassing rather than merely merging with.

After a moment of silence, Lu Yu suddenly murmured to himself, "The Heavenly Ranking—perhaps, is not the only path."

As soon as he finished speaking, under countless shocked gazes, he raised the sword of judgment in his hand once more.

On the sword, the transcendent will of "judgment" rose once again, but this time, it was not directed at external enemies, but at the Azure Sky Ranking, which symbolized the supreme authority of the vast world.

More precisely, it refers to the character "陆" that he had just personally carved on the list!

"What—what is he going to do?" an ancient being exclaimed in shock, completely unable to comprehend Lu Yu's actions.

Lu Yu's eyes were resolute, without any hesitation. With a flick of his wrist, the Sword of Judgment transformed into a seemingly gentle yet powerful trajectory that severed all connections and constraints, gently slashing towards the radiant character "Lu" on the Heavenly Ranking!

laugh!

A strange, soft sound, as if severing some invisible contract and breaking the connection between the worlds, echoed between heaven and earth, and resounded deep within the souls of every powerful person who sensed this scene!

On the Sky Ranking, the light of the character "Lu" suddenly flickered and fluctuated violently, as if struggling and resisting, but the power of the Sword of Judgment was extremely mysterious.

It doesn't mean destruction, but rather it precisely "severed" the deep connection and bond between Lu Yu and the Sky Ranking, and with the origin of the Great Thousand Worlds!

After a few breaths, the light gradually faded.

The character "Lu" still exists on the Sky Ranking, but its color has dimmed considerably, as if it has lost its unique spirituality and radiance of authority, becoming just an ordinary name that is merely recorded here.

Lu Yu himself clearly felt that the invisible bond that was closely connected to the origin of the world was rapidly receding and peeling away.

He took the initiative to sever the recognition and constraints of the Sky Ranking!

For a moment, the world seemed to fall silent. Everyone was dumbfounded, unable to comprehend this act of self-destruction and relinquishing supreme power.

Lu Yu seemed to have shed an invisible shackle, and his aura became more harmonious and free. The majesty of a newly established ruler did not diminish, but instead gained an indescribable transcendence and independence.

He sheathed his sword of judgment and gazed at the higher reaches of the endless sky, where a more vast and unknown landscape seemed to lie.

"I do not rely on external things, nor do I depend on the world—I seek my own path to transcendence."

His voice was calm, yet it carried an unprecedented firmness and confidence.

Inscribing one's name on the Heavenly Ranking is perhaps the most recognized path to the pinnacle among the powerful beings of the vast world.

But for him, that might just be a starting point, not an end.

He had already sensed that even without relying on the authority and recognition of this world, relying solely on his own understanding of the Ten Primordial Dharma Bodies,

With his insight into the origin of the world, and the sword of judgment in his hand that embodies transcendent meaning, he also has ways to touch...

Go and break through to that legendary higher realm!

The road is already beneath our feet.

A century has passed in the blink of an eye.

Since the battle in the southern border of the Great Thousand World, when Lu Yujian severed the will of the Heavenly Evil God and broke free from the shackles of the Heavenly Ranking, although his name is still on the list, he has transcended it and become a legend in the Great Thousand World that no one can match, yet is also unfathomable.

During these hundred years, he did not appear in public, nor did he intervene in worldly disputes, as if he had completely disappeared from the world.

Only on the main peak of the Pure Lineage of the Ancient Buddha Clan, and deep within the Spirit Treasure Pavilion, does an indescribable aura flow, causing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to rejoice, as if silently nurturing something.

On this day, atop the main peak of the Qingmai, the sea of ​​clouds continued to churn, the stone pavilion remained, but several more figures appeared.

Xiao Yan and Lin Dong stood side by side, their auras even more profound and vast than they had been a hundred years ago, clearly indicating that they had benefited greatly from their century of seclusion.

Xun'er, Xiao Yixian, Zi Yan, and Cai Lin surrounded Lu Yu. Their beauty remained unparalleled, but the light in their eyes was even more gentle and moving than before, clearly showing that they had not wasted their hundred years.

All the light from everyone focused on the white figure sitting quietly in the center of the stone pavilion, a figure that had been sitting there for who knows how long.

Lu Yu's eyes were slightly closed, and there was no powerful spiritual energy fluctuation around him, nor any intimidating pressure emanating from him. He seemed to be just an ordinary young man.

-

However, upon closer inspection, one will find that his entire "existence" seems to be in a harmonious state that is both integrated and independent with the surrounding mountains, clouds, and even this world, a state that is mysterious and indescribable.

Suddenly, his tightly closed eyes slowly opened.

At that instant, no divine light shone in, nor did any strange phenomena appear.

But the moment he opened his eyes, everyone present, whether it was Xiao Yan and Lin Dong who had reached the peak of the Saint Rank, or the four women who were connected with him, felt as if their hearts were being gently touched by an invisible and warm hand.

It wasn't a shock of power, but a resonance and throbbing that reached the very essence of life.

Xiao Yan and Lin Dong exchanged a glance, both seeing the shock in each other's eyes. They vaguely sensed that Lu Yu seemed to have touched upon something more essential and core than the "Power of the World" at this moment.

Lu Yu's gaze slowly swept over each of his closest relatives and friends present, a gentle and peaceful smile appearing on his lips.

"I see."

He spoke softly, his voice carrying a strange rhythm that could soothe the soul: "The state of transcendence lies not in the strength of one's power, nor in the weight of one's authority, but in the unhindered heart, in the true self. Seeing through illusion, discerning one's true self, the direction of one's heart—that is the path to transcendence."

He seemed to be talking to himself, or perhaps explaining profound truths to everyone.

Although the words were brief, they caused figures like Xiao Yan and Lin Dong to fall into a brief period of contemplation, and they vaguely gained some insights.

"Brother Lu, Brother Lu, you—"

Xiao Yan and Lin Dong spoke almost simultaneously, their eyes filled with inquiry and a hint of unbelievable surprise.

They could sense that Lu Yu's aura had undergone a fundamental change, a complete leap in his level of life, surpassing all realms they knew!

Lu Yu nodded slightly, confirming their guess.

With a slight thought, two beams of spiritual light, imbued with a sense of transcendence, flew from between his brows and slowly drifted towards Xiao Yan and Lin Dong.

"This is the result of my understanding over the past century, combined with my own path, that I have deduced the direction and rudimentary method of transcendence. I hope it can enlighten you."

Lu Yu said gently, "The future of this vast world depends on your joint efforts to protect it."

Xiao Yan and Lin Dong solemnly accepted the spiritual light and integrated it into their brows. They instantly felt the vast information and supreme artistic conception contained within it, and their minds were shaken, knowing how precious this gift was.

"My husband, are you leaving?"

Xun'er asked softly, her beautiful eyes filled with longing but not much surprise, as if they had already been in sync.

Lu Yu reached out and gently took the hands of her, Little Fairy Doctor, Zi Yan, and Cai Lin beside her, his gaze tender: "The affairs of this world are settled, the shackles have been removed, and the road ahead is clear."

"I want to take you to see what this endless beyond is like, and to explore the even more vast world and its scenery."

He paused, a strange look of reminiscence and inquiry flashing in his eyes, and said slowly, "Moreover, I have a premonition that in that distant land, there seems to be an 'old friend' waiting for me—a fellow named Zhou Yuan."

"Zhou Yuan?"

Everyone was taken aback; the name was quite unfamiliar to them.

Lu Yu smiled but didn't explain further; his eyes, however, sparkled with anticipation for the unknown journey ahead.

Not long after, under the watchful eyes of Xiao Yan, Lin Dong, and many powerful figures from the Futu Ancient Clan, Tailing Ancient Clan, and Lingbao Pavilion, Lu Yu, accompanied by his four wives, took a step forward, and his figure merged into the void without leaving a trace.

This book is finished.
