My All-Heavens Chat Group-Chapter 498 - 15: Hongmeng Refines Treasures (2 in 1 - of 5000 Words)_3
The Peach Tree entered her belly and instantly transformed into an incredibly vast and torrential force, rushing towards Linglong Immortal Venerable’s viscera and permeating her limbs and bones. At the same time, an extremely mysterious aura enveloped her. Linglong Immortal Venerable fell into a sudden epiphany, her Cultivation Level began to soar, and an aura of terrifying pressure swept out.
All disciples within the Linglong Blessed Land and the powerhouses who had come to offer their birthday felicitations prostrated themselves on the ground, their eyes filled with fear and astonishment.
"HISS!"
"How terrifying!"
"What realm has Linglong Immortal Venerable reached, exactly?"
"It’s definitely not just that of a Heavenly Immortal!"
Mr. Shui Jing, Six Paths Hermit, Nine-legs Couldron Immortal Sovereign, Heavenly Dao Dharma King, and other ancient behemoths were utterly horrified. Linglong Immortal Venerable at this moment was just too powerful. Facing Linglong Immortal Venerable, they felt as mortals did when facing powerhouses like themselves—utterly incapable of harboring even the slightest thought of resistance.
"A Heavenly Sovereign catastrophe, huh?"
Hongmeng sensed the aura between heaven and earth. Unsurprised, he watched with great interest. Simultaneously, he secretly released a strand of power, concealing the cataclysmic visions and aura of Linglong Immortal Venerable’s promotion to Heavenly Sovereign, preventing others from discovering it and avoiding any harm to others from the Heavenly Sovereign catastrophe.
In this world, the Immortal’s Secret Realm had different levels: Heavenly Immortal, Immortal, Profound Immortal, Daluo Golden Immortal, Ancestral Immortal, Original Immortal, Holy Immortal, Ultimate Immortal, Heavenly Sovereign, and Immortal King.
The Heavenly Sovereign was roughly equivalent to the Divine Emperor level (Primordial Golden Immortal).
The aura of the Heavenly Sovereign catastrophe began to emerge and permeate, as if the chaos from an impending great destruction of heaven and earth had prematurely arrived.
Countless pieces of knowledge, ideas, and the long rivers of fate surged forth between heaven and earth, revolving around Linglong ceaselessly. Knowledge and information from various epochs, long settled within the river of history, came tumbling towards her.
Linglong ceaselessly absorbed all kinds of knowledge: the breath of the universe, and even things that transcended the universe—things beyond even the Path—all rolled towards her.
The Universe could feel her starting to slip beyond its control.
Suddenly, Heaven raged. From the sky, streams of black and yellow aura congealed into blood that flowed downward, transforming into blood lightning, relentlessly striking.
Moreover, countless formidable ghosts and demons, ancestral fiends, invincible demon kings, and even demonic notions that had never existed before—along with Chaos Ancient Demons formed from the universe’s turbid energies—all began to take shape. They crossed countless myriad planes, numerous as the sands of the Ganges, to strike at Linglong. They infested her crystalline God’s kingdom, drilling within her body, intending to drag her into depravity.
The universe is but a great prison.
To ascend to Heavenly Sovereign is to fully break the prison, to be unrestrained by the Heavenly Dao, something intolerable to Heaven, spurned by the firmament, with gods and men alike seeking your destruction.
Thus, the Heavenly Sovereign catastrophe is unlike ordinary tribulations. It is no longer mere thunder, but various kinds of causality tribulations, fate tribulations, karma tribulations...
Each of these catastrophic events is a supreme severe tribulation, capable of crushing a person to death instantly; even a Heavenly Sovereign would struggle to endure.
Innumerable geniuses across countless epochs, as numerous as the sands of the Ganges, perished under these tribulations while attempting to break through to Heavenly Sovereign.
However, Linglong Immortal Venerable was protected by the power of the Chaos Spirit Root Peach Tree. These tribulations could not even get close to her body and were crushed one after another.
Gradually, on Linglong’s body, numerous Heavenly Sovereign auras appeared, and her life form began to undergo a qualitative transformation.
Resplendent divine light shot from her body in every direction. Faintly, one could see strands of the universe’s very fabric beginning to fray and break within her.
From birth, every person is bound by the rules of the universe, their own aura inextricably linked to the world’s fortune. Destiny is held in the universe’s grasp, giving rise to various causes and effects, karmic ties, Feng Shui, principles of fate, divination... all such interconnected concepts.
But upon becoming a Heavenly Sovereign, everything changes. All karmic ties are severed, all causality is destroyed; concepts like Fengyun, principles of fate, and divination are useless against a Heavenly Sovereign.
This universe would no longer have any connection with her.
This is what it means to be a Heavenly Sovereign.
Even if the universe were to shatter and Celestial Beings faced the five signs of decay, a Heavenly Sovereign would not weaken.
CRACKLE! CRACKLE!
The celestial tribulation became increasingly fierce.
In the end, temporal and spatial shackles and chains appeared amidst the clouds of tribulation. Those shackles formed from the tribulation clouds, representing the constraints of the universe, wrapped around Linglong, binding her.
A heavenly prison descended slowly.
Countless instruments of punishment also fell from the sky, among them were cells, chains, punishment platforms, various knives, whips, spears, forks, hooks...
The will of the universe actually evolved into instruments of punishment, aiming to annihilate Linglong.
Hongmeng watched with glowing eyes, taking great interest as Linglong was completely engulfed by the instruments of punishment, her body bound by the chains evolved from the heavenly tribulation. She was then imprisoned within the heavenly cage, where numerous instruments of punishment carried out divine execution upon her.
Yet, Linglong remained dignified and serene. Her body emitted bursts of Hongmeng Flame, refining all types of celestial tribulations. She grew steadier and more formidable as her life form underwent its ultimate transformation.
The boundless energy of the Chaos Spirit Root Peach Tree continuously fortified her body, dispelling the celestial tribulation and transforming her life form.
"Daluo Heavenly Dao..."
Suddenly, Linglong opened her eyes. All the celestial tribulations transformed into vital energy and entered her body. Her power then surged, expanding rapidly like bamboo shoots after spring rain.
Finally, with a flick of her finger, a chessboard of countless dimensions appeared in mid-air. Each chess piece was a miniature world, black and white pieces intertwining and twisting in brutal combat, enacting limitless dharma.
This was the Path of Linglong, the Linglong Chess Game, the Linglong Daluo catastrophe understood by Linglong Immortal Venerable. Each chess piece represented a catastrophe, with numerous catastrophes linked together, embodying the conflict between Yin and Yang, capable of encompassing all phenomena and refining all things.
Heavenly Sovereign, achieved.
Linglong’s perfect figure appeared before Hongmeng. Her eyes, as deep and luminous as stars, gazed at him. "Thank you," she said, her voice brimming with excitement and gratitude.
She lowered her head, then embraced Hongmeng and gave him a deep kiss. Only thus could she express the profound gratitude and jubilant excitement in her heart.
The surrounding scenery shifted, transforming into an exquisitely elegant sleeping chamber.
The next moment, Hongmeng swept Linglong into his arms, stepped onto the bed, and the bedroom was filled with fragrance.
