Chapter 459: Heavenly Path Tenth Barrier – Mountain Burdened

The Infinite Circle Complete Law has a peculiar name, yet it represents the ultimate complete law calculated by countless geniuses of Tomorrow Nation. No other law can surpass it, unless someone steps outside the Three Great Methods’ framework.

This law is so vital that, apart from the researchers and the chief, all cultivators, including Qi Lian, are forbidden from knowing about it.

All possible methods to prevent leaks are employed, enforced to the utmost limit.

Such high regard is naturally due to the concept’s overwhelming strength and forward-thinking nature.

It is powerful because it may realize the ultimate fusion of the yin-yang five elements.

It is forward-thinking because it is uncertain whether this Complete Law can be actualized.

Or rather, how long it would take to actualize it.

The fundamental concept of the Infinite Circle Complete Law is to cultivate each of the yin-yang five elements as separate complete laws, without modifying their essence, simply focusing on cultivating life force, Spirit Sense, and the seven powers of gold, wood, water, fire, earth.

In other words, the Infinite Circle Complete Law only enhances the quantity and quality of energy while preserving the initial forms of the seven powers.

What is the benefit of this?

It’s simple: it can amplify all spells.

When Yun Ye used the Transforming Dark Eternal Silence during the era of Tomorrow Nation, it essentially did not have the benefits of “Spiritual Law Meridians” or “Great Transformation of Laws.”

This led to the paradox where Transforming Dark Eternal Silence clearly exceeded the Ethereal Law, yet its actual performance failed to match and didn’t achieve overwhelming power.

However, cultivating the Infinite Circle Complete Law yielded different results, as it adapted to all spells, forming a foundational practice that could enhance any spell.

Just this characteristic alone illustrates the high and far-reaching intent behind the Infinite Circle Complete Law.

The only issue is that the difficulty of this technique has reached the limits of the universe, making it nearly impossible to master perfectly.

Even Yun Ye, as a reincarnator, felt apprehensive, hence he hesitated for a long time before confirming that the spirit energy was monopolized, finally making up his mind.

He needed power!

And this technique might achieve an invincible strength!

“Let’s begin the Heavenly Path stages. Relying solely on my calculations for the Infinite Circle Complete Law is incredibly difficult; even with the spiritual gene formula, I can’t figure it out.”

Yun Ye stepped onto the Heavenly Path, facing the challenge of the world’s strongest talents throughout history in the first step.

He had come here many times before, easily breaking through the Ninth Barrier with overwhelming momentum.

Now, the Tenth Barrier.

Before anyone appeared, the infinite mountains manifested first, and the ground before him cracked and shattered, immense weight crushing everything.

The whole space flickered like dying flames, the earth shaking violently leaving him in shock.

“This power, is it from the Mortal Realm?!”

Yun Ye encountered the strongest Mortal Realm presence in the history of the Heavenly Path challenge. He instantly entered the state of Elevation of Spiritual Roots, forming a circular five-color Spiritual Roots imprint, radiating outward to restore its rightful place.

His physical form surged with a boiling energy.

Yun Ye shattered the ground beneath him but still felt the immense pressure overwhelming him. He had to activate the Triple Fusion to counter this colossal force.

With the power of Triple Fusion, he finally alleviated the pressure, gaining the extra capacity to focus on his opponent.

He could see a robust man with black hair, entwined in chains, carrying an immeasurable mountain on his back, steadily approaching.

He had a distinct Spiritual Roots imprint on his forehead, unlike the Five Elements, and there were two of them – one resembling a dark vortex and the other as bright red as blood.

This person possessed two fused Spiritual Roots!

“Reflecting Sky Illusion!”

Although Yun Ye was somewhat shocked, he had already crossed two realms before, so being in the Mortal Realm with another opponent was not something he couldn’t handle.

He decided to make the first move, enveloping the world in the power of space!

Simply relying on Spirit Law to unleash the power of space was much weaker than with ethereal roots, and as his proficiency in Spirit Law increased, it would simultaneously enhance Ethereal Law!

Once Reflecting Sky Illusion unfolded, the world turned into something he could manipulate freely.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

However, the Mountain Burdened did not share this view. The illusory mountain clashed with Reflecting Sky Illusion, its immense weight distorting space, making it impossible to control simply.

“Innumerable Mountains!”

The Mountain Burdened struck back, compressing the illusory mountains into a single point before throwing it out. The terrifying gravity shattered everything, pulling Yun Ye uncontrollably toward it; even in a different space, it was useless as the very fabric of space was in motion!

Undoubtedly, this was a Spirit Law at the same level as Transforming Dark Eternal Silence!

“Essence of Water and Fire: Annihilation!”

“Transforming Dark Eternal Silence!”

Yun Ye was forced to activate Essence of Annihilation, flattening the innumerable mountains. Immediately after, the destructive power that engulfed the space swept through.

At that moment, the Mountain Burdened was suppressed, unable to resist, and the mountain illusion collapsed, ultimately eliminated by Transforming Dark Eternal Silence.

Information flashed by.

In the Tenth Barrier, the rating of the Heavenly Path was: one domain of True Dragon and True Phoenix level supreme geniuses, referring to the unique talents fixed in a certain region.

At the same time, information about the Mountain Burdened also appeared.

“First double fusion of Spiritual Roots repeated fuser.”

“Creator of the manifesting true self secret technique.”

“‘Mountain Burdened’.”

A multitude of images flashed.

In the flourishing Celestial Empire, the Supreme Ruler orchestrated the world, maintaining peace. Major families thrived and intermarried.

Both of Mountain Burdened’s parents possessed double Spiritual Roots and unrivaled cultivation. It took them ten years to nurture him, during which they used countless Rare Treasures and foundational Secret Techniques.

This top-tier environment provided the Mountain Burdened with an extraordinarily favorable foundation, allowing him to bear the weight of the mountains from birth, controlling gravity—a particularly lucky start.

In his youth, the Mountain Burdened was very proud, unbeaten throughout the dynasty, confident in his exceptional talent. He aimed north, seeking a larger stage to showcase his brilliance in the two realms of heaven and earth.

However, he soon realized there were greater talents beyond him. Before he even left his bordering state, he suffered a crushing defeat, suppressed by an unbeatable youth with a single hand.

Awakening to reality, the Mountain Burdened joined a certain Heavenly Sect of that time, dedicating himself to study, aiming to defy fate and overcome the barriers of his talent.

Centuries passed, and he faced repeated defeats, often finding himself in desperate situations. However, he grew rapidly and ultimately completed a breakthrough in a moment of despair, utilizing an unheard-of “Double Fusion Secret Technique of Spiritual Roots.”

His strong opponents fell victim to his astonishing secret technique, and the Mountain Burdened’s power surged, giving him the possibility to compete with true invincible beings.

Sadly, he injured his roots in the process and made no progress, unwilling to accept his fate. The Mountain Burdened immersed himself in the research of Spiritual Roots, attempting to mend his foundation.

After countless simulations, he completed a technique to fully awaken his Spiritual Roots, allowing the ancient information they contained to resurface.

However, this technique could only temporarily awaken the roots’ information, truly unable to restore them.

After countless attempts, the Mountain Burdened met a regretful end, failing to defy destiny or alter his fate.

Yet, the two paths he created became significant legacies, gradually improved by later generations, serving as beneficial means to expand the limits of the Spiritual Law system.

“Fusion of ethereal roots; the families of the Red Heaven realm are ultimate enhancements of one path, surprisingly giving rise to a genius who possesses two ethereal roots and astonishingly completed the fusion. Such extensive history indeed bears a wealth of talents…”

Ethereal roots refer to any roots beyond the Five Elements.

Before the Extreme Spiritual Law existed, even merging the Five Elements was extremely challenging, let alone the fusion of ethereal roots, which had a high fatality rate. The Mountain Burdened was the first successful individual recorded in the Heavenly Path.

“A hero from the bordering state?”

The bordering state is where the Luo Dynasty is located. According to the records of the Luo Dynasty, the bordering state comprises ninety-nine states, with numerous powerful dynasties emerging within this vast region. It is unsurprising to find some invincible beings here. In the Mountain Burdened’s era, while he was the most gifted in a major dynasty, he could not sweep through the bordering state, let alone the strongest two realms of heaven and earth.

Yun Ye sighed.

“Every era has its own scenery, indeed.”
