Chapter 739: A Glimpse of the Ultimate Future Spirit Law

"The span of heaven rules is an ironclad principle, an absolute rule. Even the Master of Heaven’s Cavern can only live for twenty thousand years, and holding the Dao Classics doesn’t change that!"

"You actually managed to cross into thirty thousand years in the future without any signs of resisting the span of heaven rules?"

Tiankai expressed her disbelief, looking at Ni Xin Zhao as if she were some sort of monster.

Ni Xin Zhao smiled lightly, "This does exceed common sense a bit, but the world is filled with miracles, and it’s not surprising once you understand the beginning of things."

"Could it be that Path Lord again?" Tiankai couldn’t help but ask. She pieced together her intelligence and felt that Tong Ming Qiong was the most likely candidate.

As a True Immortal who controlled the future, his degree of interference with Red Heaven should be the highest, and perhaps he could achieve such miracles!

"Pretty much. As long as you can combat the absolute rules, it makes sense that Tong Ming Qiong left a backup plan when he became a True Immortal and mastered the future."

Yun Ye no longer needed to hide anything; he glanced at the sky. "Being a True Immortal who can see the future, he must have known his Dao Classics Law before truly becoming one. With countless time loops, the Dao Classics changed numerous times. Although the levels did not change, he has essentially mastered the power of the future realm."

"Unlike other True Immortals who are ignorant of the Dao Classics Law, after becoming a True Immortal, Tong Ming Qiong mastered his ultimate future Dao Law. Empowered by the absolute rules, he can utilize a rebirth technique that extends the future: it’s a simple reasoning—if this person has clearly died yet possesses an infinite future, what will happen?"

"A next life will emerge! The ultimate future Dao Law can indeed achieve such a thing. No wonder the True Immortals are willing to intensify the probability of attracting the World God, tearing apart the future Dao Classics and sealing them in various locations, even across the multiverse. This Dao Classics poses such a threat…" Tiankai murmured.

She understood the significance of such a rebirth technique all too well. The Tianhu Clan had already researched this extensively; however, becoming reborn as a human still came at a great cost. Once the rebirth is completed, the span of heaven rules would take effect, starting the countdown of life.

Aside from being unable to avoid the interference of the span of heaven rules, rebirth cannot sweep away the accumulated dust of the soul. Even if one gains a new body, their consciousness and way of thinking would not change, leading to almost no growth potential, making innovation difficult.

Before reaching the Honored Position, none of this seemed to matter much. With the knowledge and power of the king of the Manifest Realm, one could smoothly cultivate, but when approaching the stage of touching the rules of heaven and earth at the Honored Position, progress would plummet. This state is too esoteric, increasingly idealistic; the accumulated dust on the soul would greatly impact advancement.

Becoming a Monarch was even more daunting, governing three heavens and merging to open the Fourth Heaven. This process not only requires control ability but also a deep understanding of the Great Dao. The dust-laden soul and decayed body and mind make it extremely difficult to cross this step; to reverse heaven, one must rely on external forces…

For example, Killing Power is Tiankai’s choice.

This result still stems from the top-tier king of the Manifest Realm’s rebirth. Her innate body and soul are already powerful; she is a natural longevity species, with soul dust far less compared to humans. If a human were to use the rebirth technique, with a slightly lower level, it is highly likely that they would not even pass the Three Pure Lightning.

Imagining the past of clinging to a body and barely surviving for thousands of years is now impossible after the Three Pure Lightning is completed.

The Three Pure Lightning strikes at decay!

"Are you fine telling me about these matters?"

Tiankai inquired.

"Let’s sign a contract to advance together. With your sincere cooperation, more willing demons will come to us, and besides, this kind of power cannot be concealed after using it once."

Yun Ye smiled.

"Path Lord… truly terrifying! If the world knew that Path Lord could evade the span of heaven rules, there would probably be countless people willing to serve!"

Tiankai’s expression was complex.

The span of heaven rules are not as full of loopholes as imagined; for the human race to turn into demons, not only does the body need to change, but the heart and power must also change.

Otherwise, even if one does not consider themselves human, practicing human laws would still result in punishments by the span of heaven rules. Similarly, if one were to abandon their power yet retain their human consciousness, the span of heaven rules would still exert its influence, significantly reducing their lifespan.

Many True Spirits who joined the Celestial Empire have not practiced human laws, yet they too have been affected. Their lifespans began to decrease, and panic and dissent arose gradually.

Demons already have a difficult time growing, lagging behind the human race. If their lifespans are further diminished, wouldn’t they be unable to rise up, consumed entirely by the human race?

Lifespan and future are crucial for any life; unless one cannot even satisfy their hunger, lifespan becomes meaningless. Otherwise, the power of the Path Lord has a deadly allure; if made public, many cultivators from opposing factions would likely defect on the spot.

One can only say, thankfully, that the future Path Lord stands with the New Heaven Celestial Empire.

"However, it’s unfortunate that a cultivator’s soul has its limits. Unless all memories are erased, the future cannot be infinitely prolonged."

"Moreover, as mentioned earlier, the future Path Lord only has a few hundred thousand years to resist the path deviation and cannot spare much power."

Ni Xin Zhao, who had personally experienced future rebirth, did not believe this would resolve all issues.

If overusing the future caused the future Path Lord’s deviation to occur sooner, the result would be catastrophic.

Experiencing the future firsthand, every second is real time; similarly, extending the future for others also requires equivalent time.

For a True Immortal’s infinity, this is inconsequential; other True Immortals with such power can use it without limit.

But the future Path Lord is different; their path deviation is calculated based on time. The more time they use, the faster they approach the ruling Dao.

"I generally understand why, historically, the Azure Heaven could not completely sever human futures… Was it influenced by the Dao of Red Heaven? Thus, their methods were hesitant, allowing several True Immortals to succeed against the odds?" Tiankai felt she was getting closer to the truth of history.

"That’s pretty much it. After all, during the time of Azure Heaven, the rules for enlarging the True Immortal descent fluctuations had not yet been established. Back then, True Immortals could act freely." Yun Ye nodded.

"Speaking of which, who exactly completed the fluctuation rules…?"

"True Immortals are coming!"

Tiankai’s question went unanswered as both of them looked toward the horizon, where two entities radiating the essence of the Royal Path descended, shaking the three heavens.

Colors of blue and black painted the skies, asserting their presence as the two entities connected the Azure Heaven and Mystic Heaven, establishing their foundation of the Royal Path.

It was indeed the Azure Heaven and Mystic Heaven!

"They arrived too late; the obstructed sight has lasted long enough. It took them this long to take action…"

"Nonetheless, it doesn’t matter; it boils down to one word: death!"

Yun Ye waved his hand, causing the void before him to collapse, traversing countless distances to reveal the sights of the outer universe, where two figures awash in the power of the Royal Path emerged, defining the world between the Azure Heaven and Mystic Heaven, in a sense of mutual contention.

The two incoming True Immortal Royal Bodies cast their gazes.

For a moment, the void also grew unstable.

One gaze was filled with aggression, devouring all seen powers—fortune, karma, future, spirit energy, or the pitch-black void…

Another gaze was calm and indifferent, yet it despised everything. Just a glance made Tiankai’s body feel like it was fracturing, with an imminent sense of being crushed.
