Chapter 682: Climbing to the Pinnacle

"Damn it, Prime Minister Turtle, come out! What’s going on? Why is there still an aura present?" Li Hui felt incredibly unfortunate; he had just managed to suppress the illustrious true sovereign, only to realize that a bigger threat lurked behind. At this moment, he even felt like he might cough up blood.

The Tribulation of the Heavens continued to accumulate, and Huang Long had begun to feign death again, cutting off all connections to the outside world.

"Suppress!" Li Hui pressed the Doomsday decree into his robe, creating openings in his sleeves to maximize the flow of calamity power toward the depths of time.

“Boom, boom, boom…” No matter what method he employed, Wan Nest Island continued to rise toward the surface of the ocean, and all the formation rings and restrictions near the island completely crumbled.

Li Hui’s back shone with six beams of light, draining all the spiritual energy, demonic energy, and dark energy from the vast sea. He took out two Dao talismans, his assassination weapon, crafted after many years of effort in the Extreme Huan Continent.

“Eternal Glory Talisman, go!”

“High Sun Talisman, go!”

Suddenly, a green Stone Stele appeared, setting toward the long river of time! Simultaneously, a brilliant white sun emerged, intertwining luck and bringing good fortune.

These two Dao talismans were not very deep in foundation, and using them just once turned them to ashes. Li Hui refrained from using the Fortune Ascending Talisman because it was a protective talisman earned during a life-and-death moment.

Wan Nest Island suddenly stopped rising, and in an instant, all was calm, creating the illusion that the crisis had passed. But was it really so?

The green Stone Stele developed cracks, looking worn and damaged. Li Hui exclaimed in shock, “How is this possible? Which immortal from that time could be so powerful? It’s over, it’s over. I don’t know what tricks this fellow has used to get so close to the real world. But I can feel this power is gradually weakening. To establish in this world, it needs to use all the cultivators of the Wutu Continent as offerings."

“No way! Even if I can leave now, letting such a terrifying existence out will cause great karma. Goodness, I’m not going to live today! If I’m here, you aren’t, and if you’re here, I won’t be."

Li Hui raised his arm and shouted loudly, “Silver snake bracelet, consume the power of creation to replicate the Dai Character Stele right here on Wan Nest Island. This is perfect, as I’m filled with murky qi, preparing to break through the Azure Sky layer.”

“Come, come, come, it’s just me at Taishan, come, come, come…”

Heaven and earth suddenly changed, a fierce wind arose, and a Dai Character Stele appeared on Wan Nest Island. Initially, it seemed incomplete, with even the characters on it appearing blurry. But as the silver snake bracelet shone brightly, it emitted massive rays of light, making the Dai Character Stele gradually become more complete.

Li Hui looked up for a moment, horrified.

“Oh my heavens! It can actually replicate! But the consumption is too great. I can probably only replicate one Dai Character Stele."

“Boom, boom…” The Dai Character Stele grew to a height of a hundred zhang, and Li Hui flew up and sat on it.

He scanned the entirety of Wan Nest Island and shouted, “Sister Yu Zimao, you’re still in the Earth Axis Hall, right? I’m Li Hui. No matter how much vibration occurs, be sure not to act recklessly. I will do my best to avoid the thirteen pivotal halls!”

Almost at the moment Li Hui sat on the Dai Character Stele, a surge of murky qi cascaded downward from his body, causing loud “bangs” on the ground as the murky qi rotated, compressing the earth into towering mountains.

“Goodness, today I’ll train thoroughly.” Li Hui simultaneously operated the Tai Shang Tong Xuan Ben Zhen Jing and the Sit Forget Heart Sutra, with a shard of the Heart Talisman spinning in his heart. His body oddly emitted the sound of flowing water, and murky qi gushed out, quickly settling under the restraint of the Dai Character Stele.

Mountains rose from the ground!

Initially, it was only a hundred zhang high, the same height as the Dai Character Stele, but as Li Hui leaped up, this mountain rapidly ascended to a thousand zhang.

One thousand zhang, two thousand zhang, three thousand zhang, until it halted just shy of ten thousand zhang. Yet it did not stop for long. Li Hui was shocked: “Is it because my Legal form has endured multiple injuries? How could it have accumulated so much murky qi? Now it’s beginning to be concentrated for repayment.”

The Legal form had sustained too many injuries, and the flaws left by the fusion of the Six Paths, despite hastening recovery with the passage of time, had left substantial aftereffects. The greatest benefit of the Qi of Taiqing was healing.

“Twenty thousand zhang, thirty thousand zhang, forty thousand zhang…” Li Hui’s body trembled violently; the Tribulation of the Heavens was just reaching its conclusion when he suddenly found himself drawing closer to his target, dazzling calamity light flooding down, and immense thunderclouds forming outside the Azure Sky layer.

“Is this delivering itself to be struck by lightning?”

Taishan rapidly moved closer, and Li Hui had already advanced from the Hongfa Stage to the late Profound Law Stage, while converting the Qi of Taiqing into talisman power to cultivate the Cloud-Brush Dragon Claw Technique and the Doomsday robe. Of course, also the Azure Sky Jade Symbol Sword.

“Boom…” Looking down from the mountain top, the murky qi actually surged upwards, pulling the pivotal halls of Wan Nest Island into the air, as the entire island spiraled upward.

To support such a massive mountain’s rise required an incredibly solid foundation, and a series of mountain ranges resembling roots appeared from beneath the sea.

Li Hui was still getting struck by lightning, the power of the Tribulation of the Heavens was growing ever more immense, as if he was offering himself up, swiftly ascending the Azure Sky layer. Soon the mountain peak entered the Azure Sky layer, and his cultivation had stepped into the late Profound Law Stage.

This truly marked a once-in-six-hundred-years revelation; progressing from the late Wanxiang Stage to the late Profound Law Stage in a single day was an unprecedented feat across thousands of years in the Wutu Continent.

While the impact of the calamity power had its advantages, it shredded the spreading murky qi, preventing the surrounding seas from suffering contamination. The mountain top had already reached the fourth layer of the heavens, further upward, where the severe winds and calamity fires perpetually assaulted, even a typical Profound Law Stage practitioner would struggle to endure. But this inadvertently helped Li Hui refine his Ideal Body.

At the foot of the mountain, a buzzing sound erupted, as Taishan astonishingly grew three hundred zhang higher.

Li Hui roared, “Seal, suppress, a thousand years!”

From his center, layers of talismans radiated outward, being deployed both on and around the mountain. At this moment, the thirteen pivotal halls of Wan Nest Island had already risen onto the mountain, forming a massive restriction as they served as the foundation.

The earlier laid blood of Great Luo Golden Immortals burned fully, while the nine artifacts opposing the Immortal blood transformed into nine bright lights that pierced into the long river of time. All the colorful stripes on the silver snake’s back vanished.

At this moment, Li Hui poured all his strength into unleashing every tactic he could muster, even burying Li Gui in Taishan to continuously amplify the suppression force.

This completely new Taishan continued to rise, and Li Hui felt as if his heart was in his throat. If Taishan were to breach the Azure Sky layer, that would definitely not be the scene he wanted to witness; it would become a target of the Demonic Essence World.

“Suppress, suppress, suppress! Stop for me!”

The Tribulation of the Heavens descended as it struck Li Hui, causing him to spit out black blood, and his Legal form received a heavy impact.

But that wasn’t the end; a terrifying force approached from below.

Terrifying Time Claws were forming, and the entire Taishan unleashed radiance to suppress it. The overwhelming momentum transmitted along the mountain body, hurling Li Hui out a thousand zhang, landing him in the Xun Wind vortex, ensnaring him with wounds all over his body.

“Cough, cough…Chaotic Dao Body, enter the mountain and suppress!” Li Hui waved the Cloud-Brush Dragon Claw Technique, unleashing the Fiery Sky Calamity, leaving strange runes on the mountain as he flung out talismans that stored time force, inserting them into the mountain to forcibly anchor the fleeting runes.
