Perfect World: Double Pupils Open the Heavens, Ascend to Immortality

The Grand Elder of the Holy Academy exclaimed in surprise. He had not expected that Shi Yi's two bodies would jump into the gray waterfall so decisively. Weren't they afraid that they would disappear and never be able to come back?

Amidst the gazes and exclamations of the Holy Academy's Grand Elder, Shi Yi waved his hand.

Then, they turned around and transformed. Taiyin Shiyi became a jet-black Kunzi and plunged into the gray waterfall, while Taiyang Shiyi transformed into a golden Peng bird and sped across the sea.

Chapter 375 Breaking Free from the Shackles of Fate

The Grand Elder of the Holy Academy felt a chill run down his spine. Just moments ago, his disciple, to whom he had poured his heart and soul and placed his hopes, had leaped into the vast gray waterfall.

Throughout history, Shi Yi is the first person to dare to do something like this; it's truly terrifying.

At this moment, the Grand Elder of the Holy Academy stared wide-eyed at the gray waterfall before him, its waves surging and rolling, carrying fragments of time and the power of destiny, its destination unknown.

On the sea, a golden roc skimmed the water, flying rapidly toward the sky. Its eyes were firm, and its feathers shone brightly. It changed its angle from time to time, trying to plunge into the gray seawater and transform into a Kun fish to swim in the gray waterfall. Unfortunately, an invisible force blocked it, and no matter how hard it tried or how much it struggled, it failed.

This is the transformation of Sun Stone. Before falling into the gray waterfall, he transformed into a golden roc. From that moment on, he was fixed by fate. The Kunpeng technique, which he used to be able to do as he pleased, is now so unusable that he can't even do the most basic transformation into a Kun.

The same was true for the Kun seedling that Taiyin Shiyi had transformed into. He swayed his tail fins left and right in the gray waterfall, trying again and again to leap out of the sea, transform into a Peng, and soar into the sky. But each time he returned empty-handed. It was as if there was an invisible hand grabbing him in the gray waterfall. No matter how hard he tried, he could not escape the course that fate had set for him.

This scene made the Grand Elder of the Holy Academy extremely anxious, as he naturally understood what it meant.

If they cannot escape the river of fate, then Taiyin Shiyi and Taiyang Shiyi will follow in the footsteps of those vanished beings and be submerged in the rolling gray waterfall.

Unfortunately, there was nothing he could do but watch helplessly as the Kunmiao and Pengniao flew away, growing smaller and smaller until they disappeared from sight.

"It must succeed."

The Grand Elder of the Holy Academy murmured. He truly didn't know where the gray waterfall led. Now, all he could do was stay put and wait.

At this moment, Shi Yi's two bodies are still trying to break free from the solidification of the power of fate. They can no longer turn back, and even if they did, they would not be able to see the ground. They have already rushed into the sky and are getting closer and closer to the area where the gray waterfall disappeared.

An indescribable sense of unease washed over them, and they were certain that if they could not break free from the shackles of fate, they would die.

It's hard to imagine what the two of them are feeling right now. It's as if an overwhelming, irresistible hand is hanging high above them, and every time they try to jump out of their current course, this hand will descend and forcefully pull them back onto the "right path," which is terrifying!

This is the terrifying aspect of the Way of Fate; it can easily determine the future of a living being and control it until death.

At the same time, a mysterious force spread from the seawater; this was the power of fate, constantly eroding and extinguishing the protective light surrounding them.

"boom!"

The golden roc and the jet-black kun seedling launched a counterattack; they could not sit idly by and wait for their doom.

Strange patterns appeared on their bodies, releasing astonishing power to fight against the force of fate in the gray waterfall.

This had some effect, but it wasn't decisive.

The situation only improved after their respective Ten Great Grotto-Heavens appeared, forcibly creating a pure land.

However, the closer one gets to where the gray waterfall disappears, the more terrifying the external pressure becomes.

Even the Ten Great Grottoes began to creak and groan, giving the impression that they were on the verge of collapse and destruction.

The golden roc and the black kun fish exchanged a glance, both seeing the determination in each other's eyes. Since they began cultivating, they had faced life-or-death situations countless times. In such situations, simply being conservative and defensive would only lead to death. To fight their way out, they had to abandon all distractions and concerns and embrace life even in the face of death.

"Boom!"

The terrifying power of fate pressed down, causing the golden roc and the black kun fish to tremble and gasp for breath. The pure land around them began to crack, and numerous wounds appeared on their bodies.

Their respective Ten Great Grotto-Heavens were also on the verge of exploding under the pressure. Even after undergoing the tempering of the three Great Daos, they were still insignificant in the face of the vast power of destiny.

This is why one must accept the baptism of the power of destiny; none of the four great paths can be missing.

"puff!"

Some armor plates were thrown out. They were originally as smooth as jade and full of mysterious energy, but now, under the impact of the power of fate, they exploded and turned into endless dust, falling into Shi Yi's cave and merging with it.

Later, the supreme treasure symbolizing "the one that has vanished"—the Heavenly Mandate Tortoise Shell—was also thrown out. Instantly, the chaotic energy surged and the secrets of heaven were obscured, and even the power of destiny failed to break through the barrier immediately.

However, this situation only lasted for a few breaths before it collapsed. Even the Heavenly Tortoise Shell could not withstand it and was shattered to pieces under the suppression of the Gray Waterfall.

It should be noted that the field formed by the alien waterfall is beyond the reach of even the alien world tree. Even a terrifying being like the Immortal King would never return, let alone the Destiny Tortoise Shell.

All the powder produced after it shattered fell into the cave of Shi Yi's twin bodies, becoming part of the cave.

Instantly, Shi Yi's body trembled, and he felt that his ten great grotto-heavens had gained an elusive aura.

Unfortunately, this was not enough; it was merely a temporary fix and could not stop the terrifying power of fate that surpassed the limits of Shi Yi's dual bodies, posing a unique test.

Every time Shi Yi's body grows stronger, this secret power increases accordingly, like an inescapable shadow of death that always looms over his body.

If this continues, they will surely die.

"boom!"

A deafening roar echoed from the gray waterfall as the two figures approached the place where the gray waterfall vanished. There, light flickered, filled with countless fragments of time and an even more terrifying power of destiny.

With no way to ascend to heaven or descend to earth, the golden roc and the jet-black kun seedling were about to be swept into the void along with the gray seawater.

"Only by going all out can we survive!" shouted the jet-black Kun seedling that Taiyin Shiyi had transformed into.

The next moment, the two rushed in following the direction of the rushing gray waterfall.

In an instant, the power of fate surged forth, and terrifying pressure pressed down like an overturned tidal wave.

"Crack!"

The jet-black Kun Miao trembled violently, coughing up large amounts of blood. Terrifying cracks appeared all over its body, leaving it a bloody mess and countless broken bones.

The golden roc was in no better shape; both its wings were broken, and it was covered in bloody wounds. Its golden, glittering feathers fluttered and fell, a shocking sight.

This test has nothing to do with how strong a creature is; it is a manifestation of the power of fate. No matter how powerful you are at the same level, once you arrive here, the power of fate will hang above your head, a head above you. This is what makes it terrifying.

In just a few breaths, his body was severely injured, and the surrounding magical space was collapsing, showing signs of collapse.

In a life-or-death situation, Shi Yi and his companion made the same choice: to go all in and fight to the death.

"boom!"

Flames erupted from the golden roc and the jet-black kun, and even the surrounding cave world began to burn.

They used the grotto as fire and themselves as offerings.

Their life force, their soul light, their flesh and blood, everything they had... were sacrificed in exchange for power beyond limits, all to challenge the great hand of fate hanging above their heads.

Rays of dawn descended from the forbidden sea of ​​suffering, swirling around them and blessing them. Throughout history and into the future, countless figures sensed this, opened their eyes, and looked in this direction.

At this moment, the golden roc and the black kun seedling finally had the ability to wrestle with fate. They disregarded everything, burning themselves, just to break free from the course prescribed for them by the power of fate and tear open that invisible shackle.

"boom!"

A radiant light shone forth as a golden sun and a black sun intertwined amidst the gray waterfall, unleashing unimaginable power.

In the end, the two paid an extremely heavy price to escape the river of fate and fight their way to another place.

On a desolate land, amidst shattered rocks, lay scattered remains of broken bodies: faded golden feathers, broken roc wings, torsos, and heads, all mangled and bloody, a truly gruesome sight.

Not far away, there was a mutilated fish with bones exposed, and pieces of flesh scattered everywhere, almost completely worn away, with only the head still emitting a faint light.

They were the twin bodies of Shi Yi who leaped out of the river of fate. In order to break free from the shackles of fate, they paid an unimaginable price, almost sacrificing their entire being.

They should have turned to ashes and perished the moment they broke free, but fortunately, those who broke free from the shackles of fate were blessed with great fortune, escaping their doom and retaining a glimmer of hope.

"Buzz!"

A soft chirping sound came from within the head of the Peng bird, and rays of light shot out from it, some golden and some jet black. Then, ten solid and immortal caves appeared above its head, drooping down with immortal energy.

Sun Stone Yi underwent an unimaginable transformation. He broke free from the shackles of fate, his broken body merged into one, transforming from a Peng into a Kun, and black patterns appeared on the feathers on his body.

On the other side, the pitch-black Kun Miao were also undergoing the same transformation. Their ten great caves not only did not collapse and dissipate, but were tempered to the extreme by the power of fate, becoming indestructible.

Its jet-black body was covered in a layer of flowing gold, and golden feathers grew out one by one. Taiyin Shiyi transformed from Kun into Peng, spread its wings and flew, soaring straight up to ninety thousand miles.

This was a transformation in their life level. Their cultivation level soared, and they rushed to the peak of the "Severing Myself" realm, almost crossing the insurmountable barrier and heading straight for the "Escape to One" realm.

A terrifying aura swept across the land. At this moment, they stood at the highest peak of their lives, looking down upon their enemies of equal rank.

Even the dragons of the Wang family, who have cultivated for tens of thousands of years, are fearless.

Taiyin Shiyi was overjoyed as he soared through the vast and silent void. At that moment, he noticed that the area where he and Taiyang had fallen was extraordinary, containing astonishing Taiyin and Taiyang power, and was an unimaginable terrain.

Sunstone also sensed something and showed a thoughtful expression.

After escaping the river of fate, no one knows where they will go. They have no destination and no right to choose their destination; everything is guided by fate.

Now, their two bodies have undergone a transformation, reaching the peak of the "Slaying Myself" realm, and have arrived at the crossroads of fusion. The river of fate has brought them to this location once again. Taiyin Shiyi and Taiyang Shiyi know that the time for fusion has come.

Back then, he used the Taiyin and Taiyang terrain as a foundation, splitting his origin and dividing into two bodies, Taiyin and Taiyang. One body followed the laws of this world, constantly breaking the limits of the human body, while the other followed the ancient immortal laws, fusing with an unparalleled chaotic seed, looking down on enemies of the same level, and sweeping across the six directions and eight wastelands.

However, after reaching the three realms of Void Path, Severing Self, and Escape One, the disadvantages of splitting one's origin begin to emerge, making it difficult to compete with peerless geniuses like Shi Hao who use their bodies as seeds. One day, they will be surpassed.

His path had also reached the point where it was time to merge. The Realm of Escape from One symbolized the one that had escaped, while Shi Yi was split into two, making it difficult to grasp the true essence of this realm.

"The day of fusion has finally arrived. I've long wanted to see just how far our fusion can go." The Kunpeng that Taiyin Shiyi transformed into flew down from the sky.

"Me too, the Yin and the Sun, which is weak and which is strong, Yin and Yang in harmony, the world reigns supreme." Sun Stone Yi exclaimed.

"Besides merging into one, creating a completely new system is also of paramount importance. After all, the moment the two bodies merge means that the two cultivation systems will collide and spark the most brilliant flames," Taiyin Shiyi murmured.

The ancient immortal methods and the methods of this era are two systems that span two eras. Their focuses, operating routes, development directions, and emphasis on the human body are all different.

When the two bodies merge, the two systems will collide head-on within the single true body. This opportunity is rare and is the best time to create a completely new system.

As for the brand-new system, Shi Yi's two bodies are already very familiar with it. He has already deduced it countless times. The beacon needed to establish the new system - "Ascension" - is also ready. All that is left is to verify it personally.

"Let's begin. Success or failure hinges on this," Taiyang Shiyi said.

Afterward, the two began to make final preparations. They took out one large medicinal herb after another and placed the ancient pills they had refined in advance in the void, ready to be used at any time.

Taiyin Shiyi thought for a moment and took out the jade box he had obtained from the Immortal Ancient Flower Bud Underground Palace. Back then, he had asked Lin Ni to help him look at the contents of the jade box, and the latter told him that it could be taken out in a life-or-death situation.

Although he faced life-or-death crises many times later, he never took out the jade box. This time, Shi Yi had a premonition that it was time to take it out. What exactly is the greatest opportunity in the so-called Immortal Ancient Flower Bud? Perhaps he will soon be able to witness it with his own eyes.

The two prepared themselves, each occupying the Yin-Yang Eyes of this location. Then, they each activated the human treasures within their bodies, bursting forth with brilliant light. The two systems were deeply embedded between flesh and blood and soul light, essentially planting seeds and continuously watering them, allowing them to take root and sprout. Now, the great medicine of the human body has matured, and it is time to harvest it.

Chapter 376 Fusion

"Boom!"

The rocks trembled, and the two primordial forces of Yin and Yang boiled, emitting a heavy rumbling sound.

This natural landscape, which had been silent for countless years, was activated by the Taiyin Stone and the Taiyang Stone, bursting forth with unparalleled power.

At this moment, Shi Yi's two bodies sensed the terrifying power of this Yin-Yang terrain, which was far more powerful than the pool where they had created their clones back then.

Standing in the eyes of Yin and Yang, one is as insignificant and trivial as an ant.

Fortunately, they had already merged their aura with the two origins of this terrain, becoming a part of it, and would not be affected by the vast power.

Just then, the four-cornered Reincarnation Discs sealed within Shi Yi's two bodies were awakened by the huge commotion, transforming into four beams of light that shot into the void.

Upon seeing the situation in the Yin-Yang terrain, the Wheel of Reincarnation immediately understood what had happened.

"You've actually come this far," the Wheel of Reincarnation exclaimed in amazement.

To attempt to break through to the Escape One Realm at such a young age is truly rare throughout history. If successful, Shi Yi would be the youngest Escape One Realm cultivator in this era.

"It's easy to create clones, but difficult to merge them. To merge them, this entire terrain must be sacrificed," the Two-Horned Reincarnation Disc said solemnly.

"Trying to manipulate the terrain by occupying the Yin-Yang Eyes is far from enough to break the Yin-Yang balance of this place. Let us lend you a hand." The fourth corner of the Reincarnation Disc whispered.

They could sense that this was no longer the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths; even if they made a move, the creatures in the forbidden zone of life would not be able to detect it.

"Thank you for your trouble." Shi Yi nodded twice.

He then realized that he had been thinking too simply. The terrain here was far more terrifying than he had anticipated, and it would be difficult to move it with just his strength.

As soon as he finished speaking, several reincarnation discs emitted a dazzling light and appeared in three directions, attacking the Taiyin and Taiyang terrain together. The power of the Six Paths of Reincarnation swept out like a vast ocean, bombarding the dividing line that represented the balance of Yin and Yang.

In an instant, the sky collapsed and the earth cracked, the sun and moon lost their light, and stars in the void exploded one after another, like brilliant fireworks.

When a Chaos Artifact at the True Immortal or Supreme level unleashes its full power, the scene is terrifying beyond measure, almost shattering the chaos and revealing eternity.

Shi Yi's two bodies were also exerting their power, using the special nature of his Yin-Yang eyes, like two fish swimming through the terrain, causing the Yin and Yang primordial energies to converge and violently impact each other.

With both forces acting simultaneously, the terrain here instantly went berserk. The two primal forces of Yin and Yang surged out like a volcanic eruption, engulfing the void. In just a moment, countless mountains were affected.

Some were burned to ashes by the power of the sun, while others were dissolved by the power of the moon and disappeared from the spot, as if they had never existed.

The Four-Cornered Reincarnation Disc fled far away, leaving this continent, and quietly floated in the void, watching the fusion process of Shi Yi's two bodies.

Amidst the cataclysmic fluctuations, the Yin and Yang primordial energies crossed the dividing line and began to clash and merge with each other.
