Chapter 691: National Destruction-Level Physique, Master of the Heavenly Stem Cave Heaven

“Qing Liu Sheng! Qing Liu Sheng!”

The White Dragon Divine Master let out a fierce roar, his figure flickering as he searched for Yun Ye’s trace. He had a gut feeling that everything was the doing of Qing Liu Sheng!

His cave heaven specialized in nurturing the Fantasy Artifact, and besides a few individuals like Qing Liu Sheng, no one else retained their Self-awareness.

It was precisely because of this that the artifact could experience high-speed growth. He had merely reported the results remotely, and the cave heaven began to collapse—only Qing Liu Sheng could be the cause!

He searched frantically, each step causing the ground to crack and erode, transforming into chaotic energy.

The Great Annihilation surged forth vigorously, fundamentally dismantling the cave heaven.

What did this signify?

It meant that his very existence was on the brink of destruction. Only those who had the Sacred Body of the cave heaven could rightfully call themselves a divine master; the standard was to possess the cave heaven’s sacred body.

This sacred body was intimately connected with the cave heaven, synchronizing at all times. While this was an advantage, it became a deadly flaw when problems arose in the cave heaven.

It was too late; he had already been tainted, and severing the connection between the cave heaven and himself was now futile.

“Stop it!”

The White Dragon Divine Master struggled, exerting every means to halt the Great Annihilation.

Various Fantasy Artifacts were summoned, trying to stabilize the situation, but one after another shattered—completely useless.

He threw out the Moon-Chasing Spear, unleashing its power and applying various Talismans to seek aid from the Crimson Lord.

Yet, he still failed, leading him to lose all hope.

The power of the Great Annihilation came from the cave heaven itself; he could never stop his own self-destruction.

“Ahhh! Qing Liu Sheng, I will be back!!!”

The White Dragon could not find Yun Ye. He threw his head back and howled at the sky as a crack appeared in his eye. From there, the crack rapidly spread throughout his body.

Accompanied by a sacred phenomenon, he exploded into a massive amount of energy and order, utterly dying and disappearing.

The power that constructed the White Dragon’s Sacred Body was immense, and once it exploded, it swept through the entire cave heaven, erasing everything in an attempt to vanish along with it.

Meanwhile, Yun Ye, whom he had pursued for so long, stood at the very center of the cave heaven, sketching a formation. Holding a miniature cave heaven, he welcomed all, drawing countless energies into his grasp and temporarily resisting the Great Annihilation, stopping all from fading away.

“Having gathered the resources, it’s time to attempt activating all the bloodlines.”

Yun Ye sat cross-legged as thirty-six layers of blue sky materialized. A massive amount of energy flowed into his Chaos Sacred Body, initiating a race against time in his practice.

Given the power of the Great Annihilation, the time the miniature world could withstand was limited. He needed to fully cultivate all three major techniques and completely utilize the remnants of the White Dragon’s Cave Heaven.

Of course, while they were called remnants, the White Dragon Divine Master had long been renowned, and even just a portion was as vast as the ocean. Yun Ye could devour it, paying no heed to the losses.

The thirty-six layers of the blue sky constantly refined his body. Although the layers did not increase, the strength of his physique rapidly soared under the addition of resources.

What kind of luxury was it to refine the powers of a great master of the cave heaven who had practiced for hundreds or thousands of years? How could it not be at incredible speed?

“My physique… perfected Mystic Realm being!”

Yun Ye quickly reached an astonishing height. His physical body alone could resist the invasion of higher dimensions, allowing him to perceive those higher dimensions.

To be precise, this should be called the “chaotic era,” rather than “Mystic Realm.” Physical Law practitioners could indeed follow this path, but it required a massive amount of time to accumulate, just like demons needing countless years to advance. The main issue with this method of dying was its inherent ‘slowness.’

If not for the span of heaven rules, the advantages of Physical Law would be evident—not only longevity but also an invincible physique that required no external assistance.

“His physique has reached the Chaotic-level, capable of withstanding the initial awakening of all bloodlines.”

Yun Ye’s body suddenly radiated countless lights, emanating from every part, including his head, where countless beings sat in meditation, chanting scriptures, and a feeling of ancient wisdom enveloped him.

The Mystic Heaven was completely reviving, hidden across time—past, present, and future—countless practitioners of Spirit Law from the past became part of Yun Ye’s dream, endowing him with Secret Energy.

Visible to the naked eye, Yun Ye’s Spirit Sense power surged rapidly, boosted by the abundance of entry-level Spirit Law he had recently acquired.

As the power of Spirit Sense increased dramatically, the originally superior Chaos Sacred Body was also affected. The Earth’s Wind, Water, and Fire surged, while the Energies of Yin and Yang flowed, allowing the Qing Sky Dao Law and the Mystic Heaven to fall under his control, all three working in concert.

Among them, the Qing Sky Dao Law was crucial. The Chaos Sacred Body did not have the characteristic of infinitely enhancing physical strength; it was simply much stronger than an ordinary practitioner, but it still did not meet Yun Ye’s expectations. He needed to open the inner universe and the outer Heaven’s Cavern, and having a body capable of enduring the cave heaven was essential.

“Fusion of the Spirit Law and precious medicines, transforming into a semi-energy body.”

“Opening up the self-Mystic Heaven through the Mystic Realm, fully converting into energy.”

“The True Realm transforms the magical power physique into True Essence physique, achieving a perfect True Disciple’s body.”

“The Honored Position acquires authority, merging into that authority, ultimately becoming a Conceptual Body—one that cannot be killed without that authority.”

“This indeed is an evolution step by step, greatly reducing the difficulty of cultivation and accelerating the speed; however, it also limits potential. When at the Honored Position, there’s no concept of replacing the Conceptual Body after Opening Heaven and Earth; forcing it would lead only to death.”

“To obtain the Sacred Body suitable for Opening Heaven and Earth, the minimum requirement is the True Realm. A True Disciple’s body might barely be able to undergo the baptism of the Power of Opening Heaven and Earth, but even so, it would still remain significantly weaker. The perfect True Disciple body is seamlessly united with soul, flesh, and magical power, ultimately forming the True Disciple body. This means the Power of Opening Heaven and Earth can only enhance it once, although it should be able to baptize all three and then further elevate them during fusion…”

Research shows that the True Realm and Honored Position are very special, thus unsuitable for the Power of Opening Heaven and Earth. If one were to do so in the law realms or Mystic Realm, or even lower, there is actually not much difference in the final achievements.

If there is a gap, it is merely a human gap; after all, Opening Heaven and Earth in the law realms is certainly more challenging than in the Mystic Realm.

Yun Ye’s three powers converged, and his body continually rose in level while he practiced peacefully amidst the Great Annihilation.

…

Time flows differently during cultivation. Ten years passed in the cave heaven while only six months had elapsed in the Red Heaven, approaching November.

During this time, Yun Ye’s physical level reached the "Extraordinary Rank National Destruction" level of demon strength, and he was steadily approaching the "king of the Manifest Realm."

The Thirty-Six Layers of Blue Sky evolved to Forty-Nine layers, but progress was increasingly difficult, and achieving a perfect Seventy-Two layers felt almost impossible.

Yun Ye believed that even the Qing Sky itself probably did not possess such a level.

The Dao Classics recorded the methods for a True Immortal to achieve immortality, but there was a significant evolution and enhancement, which was completely different from the original meaning recorded in the Royal Path Classics.

“Ordinary Extraordinary Rank National Destruction greatly surpasses an average perfect True Disciple; only practitioners of the highest-level Mysterious Grade laws can stand against it alone, namely the Ultimate Spiritual Triple Fusion and the Unique Triple Fusion.”

“I am now continuously approaching the king of the Manifest Realm. I wish to cross the chasm between heaven and earth. Although I am still far from the Honored Position and the Manifest King, if we were in the same realm, we would need Earth Grade techniques to contend with this body.”

Yun Ye was quite satisfied with the progress of his cultivation.

In just ten years, his physique reached such heights, directly surpassing the years of suffering undergone by countless demons—one could say he had seized the creations of heaven and earth.

However, this was far from enough. Yun Ye attempted to open the inner universe multiple times but failed each time. Had he not been experienced and found ways to evade danger, he might have had to start the next reincarnation, as the risks of opening the inner universe were much greater than opening the cave heaven.

Each failure cost him nearly half his life, and Yun Ye recognized the difficulty, realizing that he needed to continue enhancing his realm—at least to make his physique comparable to that of a Conceptual Body at the Honored Position.

This was only logical; if opening the inner universe were so easy, demons would have long ago unleashed their inner universes and achieved invincibility.

But the reality is that even the king of the Manifest Realm or the Monster King only controlled dimensions without the option to create their own worlds.

Among the demons, there are many invincible beings possessing top-tier intelligence!

After achieving the Mystic Heaven, they would certainly have the opportunity to explore the Cave Techniques; theoretically, they could cultivate the cave heaven.

The Absolute Emperor, who holds the Dao Classics, practiced human laws; since he could cultivate human laws, he could naturally practice cave heaven laws as well.

If they are unable to develop their own Cave Techniques, tweaking ready-made ones should not be difficult for beings of their level.

For example, the Dream Princess, an ancient being who assisted in achieving the Mystic Heaven, could hardly be said to lack mastery of Cave Techniques. Perhaps she even helped refine them.

Yet even so, no demons have ventured to open a cave heaven; at least, none have been seen so far.

“Boom!”

The miniature world could not hold up any longer and began to collapse under the force of the Great Annihilation, threatening to obliterate Yun Ye as well. But today was different; Yun Ye’s power had undergone tremendous enhancement. Although he could not open the inner universe, escaping the Great Annihilation was effortless.

He pressed his hands together, and a powerful Forty-Nine Layers of Blue Sky transformed into brand new worlds, expanding in a direction opposite to that of the Great Annihilation, directly counteracting it and halting the collapse. However, the White Dragon’s Cave Heaven had already turned into a realm of chaos, where nothing existed.

Yun Ye didn’t mind, as he concealed the singularity within the Forty-Nine Layers of Blue Sky.

He paused in the void for a moment, observing…

Then Yun Ye’s expression changed, his body becoming light as he began to return to the Red Heaven realm.

In the next moment,

A vast power swept through, stirring the void, as unbeatable elders unleashed their formidable strength.

A rainbow bridge spanned the void, reaching the White Dragon’s Cave Heaven.

It was a stunning girl with vibrant red hair, adorned with a red jade crown; she crossed over on red ribbons, exuding an extraordinary aura.

At this moment, her bright red eyes held only the void ahead.

At the coordinates, there was nothing!

What had once stood here as the White Dragon’s Cave Heaven had now completely vanished, leaving no trace behind, revealing the ruthless and cold nature of the void.

“The celestial clans, I truly underestimated you!”

“It seems you have uncovered potential, even managing to counterattack and slay the White Dragon… truly worthy of being a possibility that could topple the Celestial Empire. You managed to bring down a well-known Divine Master like the White Dragon in such a short time.”

Crimson laughed lightly.

She valued the celestial clans, which is why she allowed the White Dragon to take action. First, to prevent a True Immortal from disrupting the game, and second, to test the waters.

Resolving the situation smoothly was possible, though not very likely, which is why she thought it was something the celestial clans had not predicted when she learned of the White Dragon’s success.

If it had been simple from the start, her promise to let the White Dragon fight freely, even if he died and was revived, would have been redundant.

In any case, she easily accepted her defeat.

It had been a test to gauge the celestial clans’ current strength.

Moreover, the celestial clans were even stronger than she had imagined. Had it not been for this test, they would have acted based on their previous impressions and probably fallen into a huge pitfall. This experience allowed them to avoid stepping on a landmine, though the cost was a bit high—the loss of a Master of Heaven’s Cavern. Fortunately, while cave heavens cannot be revived, a person can.

“First, deal with the old man of despair; failing to eliminate Qing Liu Sheng will make it difficult even if the White Dragon is dead.”

Though she said this, Crimson had no intention of returning the authority. This outcome was something everyone should have anticipated.

She returned to the Crimson Cave Heaven to initiate the Three Masters Meeting.

The world was divided.

A three-legged balance of power.

“It seems you are not here to bring good news, Crimson.”

The old man in brown linen put down his fishing rod and turned around.

“The strength of the celestial clans is unexpectedly powerful; the White Dragon’s Cave Heaven suddenly vanished today, and he had no chance to escape, completely extinguishing both his form and spirit.”

Crimson crossed her arms.

“Revive him and ask what happened.”

Despair stated lightly.

“It will be difficult to obtain complete information. The revival through Fantasy Spirit Law is merely a false revival. If he failed to transmit information at the last moment, the revived version won’t retain that memory.”

Eternal was the first to develop the Fantasy Spirit Law, possessing the most powerful Fantasy Artifact, the "Cycle of Life and Death," allowing his subordinates to revive constantly.

As black and white filled the heavens, suppressing the snowstorm, Eternal, dressed in white, gathered a massive amount of thoughts to form a beam of light that descended.

A figure materialized within the beam, bones, muscles, and organs gradually being filled in, but the constituent particles were purely Spiritual Particles.

After a moment, the White Dragon, whose aura hovered around the pinnacle of the True Realm, was revived, displaying a look of confusion: “Huh… didn’t I return?”

“Indeed, he only remembers the last meeting. What happened after returning to the Cave Heaven has been buried; the Fantasy Spirit Law ultimately cannot transcend the void,” Eternal shook his head.

“White Dragon, you have been revived! Try your new powers—the powers of the Fantasy Body. With this power, you should be able to quickly open a cave heaven and return to your rightful place,” Crimson did not expect to know the situation.

“I died… why did I die so suddenly? Moreover, has half a year really passed?” The White Dragon’s expression changed dramatically as he calculated and found discrepancies in the time relative to his memory.

“Except for your past self, no one knows what happened,” Crimson shook her head.

The White Dragon’s expression soured, unable to utter a word. One moment he was filled with ambition; the next, he found himself defeated, an indescribable feeling washing over him.

“The celestial clans have already secured the possibility. At this point, discussing anything is meaningless. Let’s just watch and listen to what the celestial clans plan to stir up…” Despair viewed the results with acceptance and returned to his fishing.

Moments later,

A great fish, shimmering with starlight and seeming to contain an entire world, was pulled out. The old man in brown linen swiftly struck with his knife, nailing the fish to the shore.

Endless energy surged, merging into his world.

He fished in the multiverse, aiming at…

Worlds!

Unlike the other two Masters of the Divine Court, he practiced the Ten Heavenly Arts.
