Chapter 157 Advanced
This was a purple Dao light, boundlessly brilliant, illuminating even the chaos.
This could also be considered a different kind of heavenly tribulation, a questioning of the Great Dao. Hiding in the chaos was useless; it would seek you out.
Silently, the purple Dao light passed through layers of Immortal Dao formations, precisely striking the finger-joint sized seed.
That was not lightning, nor a light of slaughter, but a certain vast will. It was cold and boundless, without emotion, questioning all beings in the world who had stepped into the Supreme domain.
In an instant, the finger-joint sized seed ignited with raging karmic fire. Not only was the outer shell ignited, but even the primordial spirit was set ablaze.
"Hiss..." Fang Ming inhaled a breath of chaotic energy. This feeling was truly unbearable. "What about the promised treatment for a Heaven and Earth Immortal Embryo? Why do I have to suffer the burning of karmic fire?"
"You have created too much killing karma. Karmic power has accumulated upon you. You must use karmic fire to ignite this karmic power, burn it clean, and forge a golden body before you can become a Supreme!" That vast voice sounded, as if emerging from Fang Ming's heart.
Fang Ming was stunned, imagining the scene where he went on a killing spree in Butian Pavilion.
"If I had known, I wouldn't have killed so many!" In his inner world, Fang Ming bared his teeth and grimaced.
The purple karmic fire ignited. This flame could not be extinguished, using karmic power as fuel, burning endlessly. It was a terrifyingly boundless fire of the Great Dao. The chaos was distorted, and the finger-joint sized seed could not endure, being refined into a strange ball of light.
This ball of light twisted, constantly changing shape, sometimes transforming into a Teng, sometimes into a tree, sometimes a lotus, and so on, in myriad strange forms...
Yes, Fang Ming was also using the karmic fire to reshape his true body.
The purple light of the karmic fire spread and extended, lasting for three days. After three days, the karmic fire disappeared, and the chaos returned to tranquility.
Unlike Shi Hao's situation, Fang Ming successfully passed the questioning of the Great Dao and became a Supreme.
However, because he advanced in the chaos, there were no blessings or baptisms from heaven and earth, but he didn't care.
At this moment, he was no longer in the form of a finger-joint sized seed.
Instead, he was a Great Dao ancient tree, ten feet tall, displaying the color of chaos, imprinted with intricate and complex patterns, having ten branches, lush leaves, and emitting a hazy radiance.
On each of the ancient tree's ten branches, a cluster of fruit emitting a hazy Dao light hung. Upon closer inspection, they were clearly vast and boundless worlds.
Using the Great Dao karmic fire, Fang Ming reforged his true body. At this point, he felt that the seed form was no longer suitable for him.
His current form was more suitable for himself and his future development.
His cultivation had reached this level, which was significantly different from his initial thoughts. The growth process was already as he wished, only the fruits could not yet be produced at will.
"Currently, one Cave Heaven has evolved into a Small Thousand World, roughly equivalent to the early stage of Supreme. As expected, it's not very strong. However, if all ten Cave Heavens complete their advancement, then it will be extremely powerful!" Fang Ming felt his current strength, and couldn't help but fantasize.
"If all ten Cave Heaven Worlds evolve to the limit of Small Thousand Worlds, would they be able to contend against an Immortal Dao figure?" Fang Ming attempted to deduce this possibility.
The gap between the Human Dao domain and the Immortal Dao domain was huge and difficult to cross. He didn't know if his system had this potential.
The improvement of cultivation and Dao practice was not simple addition and subtraction, or just a matter of configuration changes. There were many complexities involved. Adding one more Cave Heaven was a completely different realm, and combat power would be entirely different.
"According to my calculations, to contend against an Immortal like the Immortal Body, I don't need to evolve all the Cave Heaven Worlds to the limit of Small Thousand Worlds. It seems only seven to eight would suffice..." After silently deducing for a while, Fang Ming had a rough idea.
His system was not weak! It was not significantly weaker than other systems. What other systems could achieve, his system could also achieve!
A month later, Fang Ming glanced at the World Mountain inside the Small Thousand World, and subconsciously frowned.
This stone was good, but it was too hard. Even with his current Dao practice, he couldn't refine it very quickly.
Hard to gnaw!
All the shattered universe seeds and Dao seeds were refined, but the other Cave Heaven Worlds were still some distance away from advancing.
The lack was precisely in the absence of World Immortal Tree and World Stone.
"Alright, this is the only way!" Fang Ming shook his head, looked at his Immortal Body, and said, "It's almost time. Are you ready?"
His Immortal Body nodded and said, "I am ready. I can do it anytime."
"Good." Fang Ming nodded and said, "You will be resurrected soon to protect my Dao."
His Immortal Body nodded, then he sat cross-legged at the center of the layers of Immortal formations. A vast and boundless world unfolded with him as the center.
Layers of Immortal Dao formations glowed, restraining this world, preventing it from spreading limitlessly and overwhelming the chaos. It was confined within a certain range.
Fang Ming's Immortal Body's mind shifted, and the world origin of this Middle Thousand World manifested.
Instantly, layers of Immortal Dao formations glowed. Countless Immortal Dao laws transformed into chains, swarming in to restrain and seal it, preventing it from returning to heaven and earth.
Then, in just an instant, Fang Ming's Immortal Body lost all signs of life. He used the power of his own Immortal Dao level to complete his suicide.
If a True Immortal had fallen in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, there would definitely have been extraordinary heaven and earth phenomena. But in this chaotic world, no phenomena appeared; everything remained as usual.
The moment the Immortal Body died, Fang Ming sensed something different about himself. In a hazy state, it was as if an extra consciousness appeared in his sea of consciousness and primordial spirit. As long as he was willing, he could separate the original Ci Shen at any time.
Similarly, as long as he was willing, he could also dissolve this consciousness at any time to strengthen his own primordial spirit consciousness.
This was originally separated from his own primordial spirit, sharing the same origin as himself.
In the chaotic world, the Immortal Dao formations absorbed chaotic energy, operating on their own and continuously glowing. Immortal Dao laws spread, imprisoning the heaven and earth Great Dao origin of the Immortal Body's Middle Thousand World.
That cluster of heaven and earth origin was extremely vast, its volume no less than a star cluster, spanning hundreds of thousands of billions of miles. It emitted terrifying fluctuations; this was power belonging to the Immortal Dao level.
It struggled continuously, the chaos surging non-stop. The chaotic energy was constantly dispersed, evolving into stars, land, and even Small Worlds one after another.
With Fang Ming's cultivation comparable to the early stage of Supreme, it was difficult to approach. The Immortal Dao grand formation continuously glowed, the light curtain formed by Immortal Dao laws circulated, constantly pressing down, locking it up tightly. This was a preparation meticulously arranged by Fang Ming's Immortal Body.
This was a prepared arrangement, an Immortal Dao grand formation targeting the heaven and earth origin. Under the targeting of the layers of Immortal Dao grand formations, its resistance eventually became smaller and smaller. The emitted commotion gradually subsided, finally becoming completely quiet, suspended within the Middle Thousand World's star river, emitting a hazy Dao light.
He was not in a hurry to refine the heaven and earth origin of the Ci Shen's Middle Thousand World, but instead carefully observed this cluster of the Ci Shen's Middle Thousand World's heaven and earth origin.
"The heaven and earth origin of just a Middle Thousand World is this astonishing. If it were a Great Thousand World, what level would it reach?" Fang Ming looked at that cluster of heaven and earth origin, which was relatively vast and boundless, like a star cluster. His manifested human-shaped primordial spirit body showed surprise.
That cluster of heaven and earth origin emitted astonishingly extreme Great Dao fluctuations. Countless Great Dao runes were densely interwoven, and Great Dao divine chains evolved and intertwined, forming a tangible Great Dao.
If ordinary cultivators stopped here and listened to that Dao sound, they would instantly fall into enlightenment, immersed in the Dao realm and unable to extricate themselves. In the Human Dao domain, rapid advancement below Supreme would not be a problem.
Even a Supreme would enter the level of enlightenment. If they were lucky, achieving a breakthrough was not impossible.
"No wonder there was once an Immortal King in the Other Realm who swallowed a Great Chiliocosm Universe whole. Even for such existences, a Great Chiliocosm Universe is probably not entirely useless to them."
"If one could swallow a super great realm like the Immortal Domain and completely refine it, perhaps they could obtain astonishing Dao fruits, perhaps even become an Emperor Light Immortal King through this..." Fang Ming mused to himself.
The Ci Shen's Middle Thousand World, barely achieved through the power of Immortal Medicine, had only just managed to advance and step in, yet it possessed such astonishing origin.
Then, how powerful those Great Chiliocosm Universes conceived in chaos or opened up by creation deities were, could also be seen from this.
With the Ci Shen fallen, the Immortal Dao ancient tree he transformed into was suspended in the chaos, instinctively absorbing and exhaling chaotic energy, appearing full of vitality, completely unlike something that had already died.
