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

"Shouting like this now is unworthy of someone ranked eighth on the Heavenly Ranking. Get out of here and stop embarrassing yourself." A cold voice rang out.

The next moment, a giant hand descended from the sky, throwing the eighth-ranked person on the Heavenly Ranking out and disappearing from the spot.

Shi Yi's eyes narrowed slightly. This was a Celestial King making a move; a Celestial King had been watching this place all along.

However, this is normal, as the Immortal King naturally takes the ten slots related to that ruins seriously.

"Crash!"

The "river of time" made a sound, then quickly faded into nothingness until it disappeared completely, as if it had never existed.

Where the long river once stood, three beings were still unable to reach the summit. They stood there, gazing at the ten beings not far away, and sighed inwardly.

Although countless beings have entered that ruin since ancient times, none have succeeded in becoming immortals. However, it is ultimately a place of extraordinary opportunity, and every being who has not entered believes that they are special and that if they do enter, they will surely succeed.

Unfortunately, they didn't have a chance; Shi Yi secured the tenth spot.

"Buzz!"

Three great roads burst forth from the void, stretching all the way to their feet.

The three beings said nothing more, stepped onto the main road, and disappeared from the spot.

Only ten beings remained at the scene, each holding a key. Apart from Shi Yi, the others were all recalling the moment when Shi Yi reached the summit.

Above the "River of Time," under such terrifying pressure, he actually tore through the void and achieved a leap, ascending to the heavens in one step. This was simply terrifying, even more heaven-defying than Shi Yi's previous defeat of Jin Hao.

Even the Celestial King, who was watching from behind the scenes, was surprised and looked at Shi Yi with new respect.

"You actually have a vertical pupil, and it's even the Eye of Chaos. What kind of talent is that? Its power is truly astonishing," Lin Ni asked curiously.

Without much thought, Shi Yi told her about the origin of the Chaos Eye, since Lin Ni had previously told him about the secrets of the Heavenly Court.

"Formed from the fusion of the Yin and Yang origins?" Lin Ni was surprised. In this era, there were quite a few beings with double pupils, after all, the myriad worlds were vast and boundless. However, Shi Yi was the only one who had forged an unprecedented path and shone brightly.

Chapter 402 The Mortal Realm

Shi Yi and Lin Ni chatted casually, and their relationship grew much closer.

"To be honest, you are the most amazing person of your generation that I have ever met. Your ascension system is simply flawless and amazing."

"Once my grandfather returns to Heaven, I will definitely recommend you to him." Lin Ni said with an expression of amazement.

Shi Yi thanked him.

An audience with the Heavenly Emperor would be a good opportunity to get firsthand information from the Boundary Sea and make preparations accordingly.

During the conversation, a grand and ancient voice suddenly rang out, informing everyone that the selection process was over and they were about to head to that secret realm.

"Fellow Daoist Lin Ni, do you know what cultivators experience after entering that secret realm?" Shi Yi asked curiously.

Lin Ni shook her head.

"Everyone's experiences are different. None of the predecessors who survived had the same experience. Some were thrown into an arena and encountered many extinct, heaven-defying races, fighting them to the death. Others were descended to the foot of a stairway to heaven, with endless steps ahead, never ending..."

In short, only by truly entering the process will you know what your test is.

Shi Yi nodded.

"I see."

Soon, a magnificent golden road appeared before everyone, and the ten beings, each carrying their own key, stepped onto the golden road.

At the end of the road, a majestic being stood there, its body shrouded in chaotic energy, hazy and indistinct, its face obscured.

"Eternal Immortal King?"

Lin Ni was startled and recognized the creature's identity.

The others were also shocked and stepped forward to bow deeply to the figure.

The one who threw the eighth-ranked person on the Supreme Heaven Ranking out of this place was another Immortal King, whose strength was far inferior to that of the Eternal Immortal King before them.

He was an unparalleled giant, so powerful that his strength was immeasurable, and he was said to be the being closest to the Heavenly Emperor.

Hundreds of thousands of years ago, the five Heavenly Emperors launched a joint campaign against the Boundary Sea. Although their will-powered bodies were stationed in the Heavenly Court, the truly heavyweight figures were some supreme giants who chose to stay behind, and the Eternal Immortal King was one of them.

"Shi Yi pays respects to the Eternal Immortal King!"

Shi Yi dared not be negligent. This was an unparalleled giant. If he were in the future, he could completely dominate the world and rule all the heavens.

"good."

Yongheng spoke, nodding slightly to Shi Yi, his eyes showing appreciation and approval.

Such a look startled Shi Yi slightly. Then, a flash of inspiration struck him, and he instantly understood the cause and effect.

"So it was the Celestial King who instructed me to participate in this competition for the secret realm slots. Thank you for your favor, Celestial King."

"You are very smart, very talented, and very powerful, but unfortunately..." The Eternal Immortal King shook his head and sighed.

While the others suddenly realized what was going on, they were also somewhat puzzled. Shi Yi was so incredibly talented, what was there to regret? Although they were confused, they didn't dare to ask any questions and could only suppress their doubts for the time being.

Shi Yi himself was shocked. He saw something unusual in the eyes of this supreme giant. If he wasn't mistaken, the other party had probably already realized that he was not from this era.

After all, this is an unparalleled giant.

"Let's go. The opening time of that secret realm is limited, so we need to hurry," the Eternal Immortal King whispered.

The next moment, everyone's vision blurred, and they felt as if the world had shifted and one vast world after another swept past beneath their feet.

This is the speed at which supreme giants can escape, each step encompassing a vast realm, something they simply cannot comprehend.

In the blink of an eye, the group arrived at their destination, a desolate ancient star. It was clear that it had once been a vibrant source of life, but for some unknown reason, everything had become desolate and barren.

Shi Yi looked around, and the scene reminded him of the place that connected heaven and earth, the past and the present.

That's the scene there.

"This is the place. You can enter once you have the key."

The Eternal Immortal King spoke, and as he did so, he stretched out his large hand and grabbed at the void. Instantly, the heavens and earth trembled, and the universe groaned.

This supreme giant forcefully pulled out a chaotic passage.

"Go ahead, be careful," he reminded him.

Throughout history, a small number of cultivators who entered this secret realm would be left behind forever, never to emerge again. These ten beings were all of extraordinary status, and the death of even one of them would be a major event, so he naturally hoped to minimize the losses.

The ten creatures nodded, gripped the keys tightly, and filed in.

Shi Yi exchanged a glance with the Eternal Immortal King, who nodded slightly, signaling him to enter the secret realm.

He bowed, turned and disappeared into the chaotic passage.

Only after everyone had entered the secret realm did the Eternal Immortal King withdraw his hand.

"What is the purpose of beings who do not belong to this era being born into this world?"

Could it be…” The Eternal Immortal King fell into deep thought.

At the end of the chaotic passage, Shi Yi strode forward, his body enveloped in ethereal light, extremely vigilant, ready to deal with any unexpected situation.

None of the creatures that come here are simple, yet a small portion of them never return, indicating that something strange is amiss here, and we must be careful.

Stepping out of the chaotic passage, a desolate and broken world came into view. The sky was blood red, riddled with holes, and a massive waterfall of blood cascaded down, looking ferocious and terrifying.

This is where?

Shi Yi was puzzled, and most importantly, his cultivation level had been suppressed to the point of undergoing a metamorphosis.

Suddenly, he saw a portal of light standing at the edge of the horizon, which was undoubtedly leading him to that portal.

Without much thought, Shi Yi took a step and headed towards the gate of light. His eyes scanned his surroundings, and he knew that it wouldn't be easy for him to reach it.

Sure enough, on the ground and in the blood river, countless creatures crawled out. Their cultivation level was the same as Shi Yi's, but their numbers were terrifying. Moreover, their race was peculiar and had never been seen before, and they were covered in billowing black energy.

"Could it be a species from the Dark Kingdom?" Shi Yi wondered, sensing an ominous aura.

He didn't stop; instead, he pushed off the ground with his feet, bursting with astonishing speed, and did his best to shorten the distance between himself and the gate of light.

For Shi Yi, every inch he shortened meant he was one step closer to passing the test.

Soon, the creatures in the Blood River rushed forward. There were so many of them, densely packed, that Shi Yi could no longer see the light gate.

He memorized the direction of the light gate, and his body erupted with terrifying immortal light. His physical body and soul exerted their power simultaneously, unleashing three terrifying sword techniques.

The Primordial Spirit Sword Technique - Pacifying Chaos Technique: A jet-black sword embryo slowly rises, releasing terrifying sword energy to quell the chaos in all directions.

The Grass Sword Technique: A nine-leaf sword grass takes root in the chaos, sways gently, and instantly, sword energy bursts forth, turning the world upside down.

The Immortal Tribulation Sword Technique recounts the tribulations of true immortals, causing all things in heaven and earth to tremble and utter mournful cries.

As soon as the three sword techniques were unleashed, a large number of Blood River creatures fell instantly, as if they were harvesting wheat.

Shi Yi swept across the six directions and eight wastelands, and the place where he stood was like a pure land that was impervious to all laws, and no one could set foot on it.

He transformed into a god of death, and with each step he took, endless corpses piled up beneath his feet.

However, the further they went, the more terrifying the Blood River creatures became. At the beginning, they were all instantly killed by him, but later they were able to block his attack and then they attacked in a dark, overwhelming manner.

Shi Yi's eyes shone brightly as he activated his double pupils, gaining control over the heavens and the earth. Every move of the surrounding enemies was under his control. He used the Feather Transformation Technique to push forward, and one after another, those who stood in his way fell at his feet.

Later, the species within the Blood River changed, each becoming incredibly powerful and impossible to kill in a short time.

Although their numbers have decreased sharply, the threat they pose to Shi Yi has increased exponentially.

He was in a predicament, fighting against a large group of powerful beings. Every time he killed one, he paid a heavy price because there were too many enemies attacking at the same time. He couldn't fight them all.

And so, Shi Yi fell down again and again, and got up again and again, fighting his way through the darkness until he staggered to the gate of light.

He stepped into the portal of light and then collapsed. He had reached his limit and had been on the verge of death countless times. At that moment, a soft light fell upon his wounded body, and his injuries began to heal at a visible speed.

Shi Yi recovered, and his primordial spirit and physical body, which were on the verge of shattering like porcelain, were restored to their original state.

Ahead, a road stretched into the unknown. He walked deeper into it, wanting to see what lay at the end, and what kind of opportunity lay in the so-called secret realm related to the Immortal of the Mortal World.

This was another broken world, and the scenery was different from before. His realm had reached the second ascension.

Shi Yi roughly understood that he had to start from his first ascension and fight his way up to his fifth ascension before he could possibly get the answer he wanted.

He didn't know if the standards the ten beings who entered the secret realm encountered were the same, but he was certain that if the other nine people encountered the same difficulty as him, they wouldn't be able to pass the first level.

Shi Yi spotted the location of the next gate of light and, without hesitation, charged towards it at top speed.

"boom!"

As the sky collapsed and the earth cracked, one after another, strange plant-like creatures emerged from the ground, their roots reaching out to attack Shi Yi.

The entire land was teeming with these creatures. Shi Yi roared, unleashing power beyond his limits, and killed a large number of them. However, this number was negligible compared to the overall population.

He was caught in a fierce struggle, his feet never stopping as he advanced step by step.

After an unknown amount of time, everything calmed down. A blood-stained arm crawled forward little by little, dragging its exhausted body to the second gate of light.

When Shi Yi painstakingly moved his body into the portal of light, and when the light descended once more, at that moment, Shi Yi seemed to be reborn.

And so he fought his way through, constantly teetering between life and death, exhausting himself countless times, and relying on his willpower to break through the encirclement.

Finally, Shi Yi fought his way through the fifth world, and dragging his exhausted body, he arrived at the sixth gate of light.

Following the sequence, after entering the sixth gate of light, one will undergo the sixth ascension, which is the realm of immortality.

However, Shi Yi guessed that this would not be the case.

"Buzz!"

As he expected, he did not reach the sixth level of ascension and remained at the fifth level.

This time, there were no creatures blocking the way, only a mottled cobblestone path leading into the depths of the chaotic mist.

Shi Yi walked forward for a long time, and unexpectedly, the end was something he was very familiar with: an Ascension Platform.

However, this Ascension Platform was much more imposing and magnificent than those he had encountered before, shrouded in the aura of time and the mortal world.

"The Ascension Platform, ascending it grants true immortality. What about this one? The Mortal Ascension Platform?"

Shi Yi felt something.

He stepped upwards, climbing the seemingly endless staircase.

As he climbed higher and higher, his heart gradually calmed and became peaceful, as if he had experienced the baptism of countless years.

The moment Shi Yi finally reached the summit, a strange feeling enveloped his heart.

The next moment, his vision shifted; the Red Dust Immortal Platform disappeared, and what appeared before him was a chaotic world.
