Chapter 745: Standing Above Heaven and Earth to Become a Monarch

Outer Heavens.

One after another, immortals stepped forward.

Surrounding the young man with nine divine mandates, countless phenomena swirled around. He gazed into the Multiverse, his eyes piercing infinite distances, perceiving countless causal connections and understanding the logic behind people’s actions. He spoke to the brooding Lord of the Swirling Sky, “Qing Tian, your methods are too crude. In times of great despair, giving up becomes simpler. Death is never the most terrifying thing. You should heed the suggestions of your kin; one hundred people is too few. This is not their path to survival.”

“This is a minor issue, merely needing a few more attempts… The bigger problem is Qing Liu Sheng. With the assistance of Red Heaven, he may grow at an astonishing pace. To what extent can the inner universe reach?” Qing Tian disregarded the dust and focused on Yun Ye, this threat.

“For countless years, you still cannot change this arrogance. If one success is possible, why not have it succeed all at once?” Mystic Heaven raised his gaze, capturing a world in his hand.

He looked at the countless ants glaring at the sky, pondering for a moment.

Since Qing Tian had already failed once, achieving it all at once was no longer meaningful. He merely expanded Qing Tian’s method.

He promised that a million people could survive, then waited for the entire human race to react.

Yet the outcome was still not much different.

The vast majority of people chose to resist, thus perishing without successfully striking the Celestial Empire’s Heavenly Crown Artifact.

“Only half the people surviving is the correct game for humanity, requiring only a choice without personally bearing the sins,” suggested the Nine Lives True Immortal.

“Do not waste time; quickly resolve the issue.”

As the Five Elements flowed, gods and demons manifested: the Vermilion Bird spread its wings, the White Tiger roared, the Azure Dragon soared through clouds, and the Black Tortoise lay in slumber. The four great gods and demons surrounded the core.

Among them were the True Immortal of Spiritual Laws, the Heavenly Sovereign of Dao Laws, and the Universal Redeemer, the founders of the Spiritual Law system. He created the Five Elements Spiritual Roots and opened the Holy Path.

Having assisted future generations to escape numerous dangers, Mystic Heaven had once benefitted from his grace, but as time passed, the issue of artifact deviation had penetrated the soul.

The True Immortal of Spiritual Laws acted coldly and ruthlessly, judging countless parallel worlds and presenting options of either-or to force everyone to choose.

To live for oneself or for others!

The entire order of the Celestial Empire instantly collapsed.

The Nine Lives True Immortal grasped causality, manipulated fate, understood humanity deeply, and possessed True Immortal-level power to suppress all, pushing his concepts forward, easily shattering the order of various parallel worlds, as the evils of human nature continuously manifested… Yet, there were still brilliant lights that chose to sacrifice themselves for righteousness.

“How tragic.”

Countless True Immortals observed everything unfold but had no thought of stopping it.

Witnessing countless people age and vanish from the world, his pursuit of the Immortal Path had long surpassed any traces of mercy.

Without the evidence of eternity, one day all must vanish into thin air.

The parallel worlds transformed into hell.

Qing Tian, however, wore a satisfied expression, “The Tomorrow Dao Weapon has exited its strongest state and no longer possesses annihilating power. The authoritative figure of the Royal Path can now contend.”

“Qing Liu Sheng is also quickly approaching the Royal Path realm. How does the Master of the Royal Cave of the Royal Path threaten Qing Liu Sheng in the Red Heaven realm?” Countless True Immortals’ eyes showed countless possible futures.

He remarked, “Moreover, even as the Master of the Heaven’s Cavern, while the growth of the Heaven’s Cavern corresponds with the growth of the realm, if he is not in Red Heaven and lacks the power of the three heavens, how can the Royal Path realm be easily crossed?”

“Not being able to cross means death. These gods will make their own choices,” Qing Tian replied without concern.

For practitioners, crucial growth involves three steps: cultivating power, True Essence, and conceptual power.

The power of magic is merely the purification of spirit energy and is not particularly significant. However, True Essence is a step towards returning to one’s true nature. The body, soul, and magic will merge, creating great power, marking the first step towards the Power of Opening Heaven and Earth.

When a practitioner opens Heaven and Earth in the Mystic Realm, they can grow the Three Powers under the baptism of the Power of Opening Heaven and Earth, and then proceed to fuse them, laying a solid foundation that greatly increases their combat power and allows them to easily break through cultivation bottlenecks.

For the Master of Heaven’s Cavern, becoming stronger enhances their control over the Cave and significantly accelerates the extraction of the Power of the Void, naturally propelling them into the next realm—the stage of the Conceptual Body corresponding to the Honored Position of Opening Heaven and Earth.

These steps may seem to focus on self-cultivation, but the crucial three heavens are not mere decoration. As dimensions formed from the ‘Cave,’ establishing it in the three heavens actually accelerates training. The three heavens can dramatically increase the efficiency of the Cave in extracting the Power of the Void, comparable to having a senior assisting in the process.

If one is in the outer heavens, the Cave not only suffers from reduced efficiency but must also face the fluctuations of the Void that every world must endure, or what one might call the heavenly tribulation of the Void. This tribulation targets the world and results from the turbulence of the Void, with World Gods also understood as a type of ‘tribulation’ that treats the world as food to consume.

……

In the outer universe of the Red Heaven realm.

The Tomorrow, dressed in a blue skirt, lifted her head slightly. Her clothes were stained red, and the fire lotus at her side replaced the Water Lotus. Sighing, she remarked, “When a True Immortal lowers themselves, the possibilities become enormous. They have Nine Lives, who plays with people’s hearts; everything that can happen will happen, and there’s no room for luck."

Immortals naturally have their own convictions and opinions. Some matters that devalue them are unlikely to be pursued by many True Immortals. However, not all beings are the same; Nine Lives has no such concerns. He and countless are true immortals of the Spirit Law era, genuine to the Immortal Path, without deviation in their paths, and are individuals who will stop at nothing.

“It is possible to stain one’s hands, but not one’s heart. The red stains on your clothes serve as proof; they have merely succumbed to despair…”

“That’s all!”

Yun Ye closed his eyes, the anger rising within him transformed fully into cultivation. The inner universe expanded infinitely, and his Royal Path sacred song erupted.

He was well acquainted with the Red Heaven realm, easily drawing upon various Dao Rules; even after ten thousand years and some changes, it wouldn’t hinder his strides.

Boom!

The heavenly tribulation for becoming a Monarch descended, the Three Pure Lightning striking down. Yun Ye didn’t resist, allowing the Three Pure Lightning to wash over his body.

This was one of the safety measures he had left from his previous life. It had a special effect, enabling his mind to unify and perfectly dissolving the Monarch’s Divine Thunder coursing through him. Yun Ye felt invigorated; his killing intent and anger gradually subsided, transforming into a firm executional power.

This was the greatest opportunity; he could not allow the True Immortals to act as they pleased, causing more suffering!

The day of opening the new world was now!

“Boom!”

The Red Heaven trembled, the Royal Path song echoed endlessly, countless phenomena flew about, innumerable red strands filled the sky and vast expanse. Throughout history, sages have chanted fundamental truths, awakening the minds of the people. The majestic universe suppressed the three heavens, encompassing them within an incomprehensibly vast time and space.

The Sacred Path leads to becoming a Monarch?

By suppressing the three heavens, one stands above heaven and earth to become a Monarch!

The idea of traversing the three heavens and descending to the earth has become meaningless as the inner universe surpasses the former Heavenly Stem Cave Heaven, covering the entire Red Heaven realm!

There is no distinction between up and down, heaven and earth, Nine Continents or outer universe; everything is harmonized with the power of the inner universe!

“Indeed, Qing Liu Sheng is also a reborn one, possessing memories of becoming a Monarch!”

“Otherwise, even with such a remarkable talent, it would not be possible to so swiftly transcend Dao insights, directly governing the three heavens and creating the Fourth Heaven!”

Multiple True Immortals acted.

Vast power, locating within the multiverse star map, locked onto each Master of Heaven’s Cavern. All the divine beings were shocked, knowing that their fates were no longer within their control!
