Sky State, an ancient forbidden land.
In the outer region, several Sea Covering Realm cultivators cautiously followed a middle-aged man at the peak of the Moon Shine Realm, holding their breath and staying alert.
The middle-aged man listened intently, raised his index finger to his lips, and whispered, “This forbidden land is perilous. If not for finding the holy medicine to help our Old Ancestor break through to the late-stage Morning Glow Realm, we wouldn’t have ventured this deep. Since we’re here, let’s make the best of it.”
“According to the Old Ancestor’s guidance, the holy medicine should be nearby. All things are born to nourish the spirit, and the holy medicine has likely developed intelligence and is adept at the Five Elements Escape Technique. Stay vigilant.”
Everyone nodded solemnly, remaining silent.
This forbidden land was known as the third-ranked killing field in Sky State. Even ordinary Morning Glow Realm cultivators could die here. Their group, if careless, would face certain death.
In half a month, their original team of a hundred had dwindled to just over a dozen.
Fortunately, the dawn of victory was near, and the days of fear and oppression were finally easing.
“We found it! The Five Elements Holy Medicine!” a young man transmitted excitedly, both surprised and delighted.
The group quickly gathered around, eyes fixed on a patch of lush green grass where a dwarf elder was planting spiritual herb seeds with a hoe and a basket.
The middle-aged man’s eyes narrowed, not daring to breathe.
It had truly gained sentience; the holy medicine had transformed into human form and developed intelligence.
“Metal traps wood, fetch the Primal Cauldron.”
“Water quenches fire, fetch the Sea-Molding Demon Pill.”
“Earth absorbs water, fetch the Pure Spirit Underworld Soil.”
“Wood draws from earth, fetch the Sky-Reaching Tree Branch.”
“Fire melts metal, fetch the Three-Life Immortal Flame.”
The middle-aged man never took his eyes off the dwarf elder, instructing the younger members of the family via voice transmission.
Once the younger members had prepared the Five Elements counteracting spiritual treasures, the middle-aged man’s heart was in his throat. After a long wait, he finally transmitted, “Don’t throw everything at once. Respond to its moves. Wait for my command and see which escape technique it uses first, then corner it.”
The dwarf elder planting the spiritual herbs straightened up, took out a small jade bottle, and carefully wiped the sweat from his forehead, collecting it.
The holy medicine’s body fluid was a precious liquid, coveted by greedy and despicable humans. At critical moments, it could be exchanged for treasures or thrown out to save its life.
Suddenly.
The dwarf elder turned, silently staring at the distant dark mountain pass, his disheveled white hair revealing six ears on either side.
“Foolish humans,” the dwarf elder sneered.
The hidden middle-aged man turned pale and exclaimed, “Damn it.”
“This holy medicine can hear our transmissions! Move now!”
The dwarf elder dropped the hoe, clapped his hands, and escaped into the soil, vanishing in an instant.
The group rushed out, throwing the Five Elements counteracting spiritual treasures, but it was too late.
“Damn it! All for nothing!” The middle-aged man slapped his thigh in frustration.
At that moment.
A young man squatted down, touching the ground, sensing a slight tremor, and said, “Uncle, something’s happening.”
“Earth dragon turning over? The soil and rocks in this forbidden land are as hard as celestial iron, how could…”
“Could it be a Morning Glow Great Demon appearing?”
Everyone’s faces changed dramatically, looking at the middle-aged man, who now looked ashen, his lips trembling.
“This… this is… someone using their body to merge with the Dao, seizing the Three Thousand Great Daos into themselves, becoming an outcast of heaven and earth.”
“Someone is breaking through to the Sky-Reaching Realm!!”
Before they could react, dark clouds covered the sky, stretching for thousands of miles, and a tribulation thunderstorm descended from the Nine Heavens.
A tall figure ascended step by step, black hair blown back by the wind, eyes like lightning, and an aura as majestic as a deity.
“Holy medicine?”
“The opportunity belongs to me.”
The ascending figure turned his head, his gaze piercing through the void, looking at a corner tens of thousands of miles away, and with a grasp across the distance, the dwarf elder was captured.
Then, the ascending figure took a deep breath, inhaling all the essence of the holy medicine, refining the dwarf elder in an instant.
“The Three Thousand Great Daos are all mine!!”
“All heavens and worlds, bow to me!”
“The World’s Dao, complete!!”
The roar echoed through the heavens, shaking the entire Sky State, countless powerful beings were shocked, casting their gazes from afar.
In an instant, the tribulation-crossing figure became the focus of all attention.
“It’s the Ji family’s boy, he’s… breaking through to the Sky-Reaching Realm!?”
“Is the thousand-year struggle for supremacy in Sky State coming to an end?”
“The Ji family is likely to become the unified ruler. Start the war immediately, while the Ji family’s boy is crossing the tribulation, exterminate the entire Ji family, cut off the dragon vein, and break the tribulation opportunity, forcefully interrupting it!”
“Indeed, we must not let the Ji family’s boy break through to the Sky-Reaching Realm, or who in the same realm could be his match.”
“Don’t hold back, each family, bring out your Sky-Reaching Old Ancestors, attack the Ji family, cut off the dragon vein, and interrupt the breakthrough opportunity.”
…
Ji Wushuang glanced over, sneered, and shook his head, not caring.
Sky-Reaching tribulation crossing cannot be interfered with. These rats can only act at the root, cutting off the Ji family’s dragon vein, which would severely injure Ji Wushuang, causing his tribulation opportunity to fall.
But the world didn’t know, Ji Wushuang had another identity.
A member of the Heaven-Watching Pavilion, the designated next Human Emperor!!
At this moment, as Ji Wushuang was about to break through to the Sky-Reaching Realm, the Heaven-Watching Pavilion would not allow anyone to interfere.
“Meng Qin, you didn’t expect this, did you? I said I had a few months left to break through to the Sky-Reaching Realm, but I had already sensed the opportunity.”
“Once I break through, your death will be on a countdown!”
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
The forbidden land, known as the third-ranked killing field in Sky State, capable of burying Morning Glow Great Beings, was completely destroyed by the tribulation, flattened for millions of miles.
In the sky.
Ji Wushuang stood bare-chested, his black hair cascading like a waterfall, laughing wildly:
“Hahaha… hahaha…”
“The Sky-Reaching Realm is broken, the ruler of Sky State is set!”
As he laughed, Ji Wushuang’s expression gradually darkened, rubbing his fingers together, muttering to himself:
“Wilderness, Space-Time Sword Saint, Meng Qin.”
“In the same realm, you are the only one who can defeat me, but that time was just my false body.”
“This time, I will meet you with my true body, and I will make you feel pain, turn you into a human swine, and humiliate Qin Liuli before your eyes.”
Suddenly.
A distant, lonely voice echoed in his ear:
“The siege on the Ji family has been delayed. If you want to claim the position of Sky State’s ruler, you cannot rely on the Heaven-Watching Pavilion’s assistance. You must personally subdue each family and faction, and conquer those Sky-Reaching Old Ancestors.”
Hearing this, Ji Wushuang nodded slightly and said, “Master, I understand.”
“The Heaven-Watching Pavilion has roamed outside the world for many years. Once involved, it will affect the final Human Emperor’s authority. If I want to ascend to the Human Emperor’s throne, I must defeat everyone with my own fists!”
The master of the Heaven-Watching Pavilion had a lonely voice, indistinguishable as male or female, more like neutral:
“As long as you understand.”
Ji Wushuang stood in the sky for a while, confirming that the master of the Heaven-Watching Pavilion had shifted their gaze away, no longer watching him, his brows furrowed, muttering to himself:
“I thought breaking through to the Sky-Reaching Realm would put me on par with the master, but…”
“I still can’t trace the source of the voice, what realm is he in?!”
“Beyond Sky-Reaching… Heavenly Qu Realm?!”
Ji Wushuang shook his head, dispelling distractions, and looked towards the Ji family, smiling slightly upon confirming their safety.
At this moment, he could already feel that the Sky-Reaching Old Ancestors of each family had withdrawn, closing their doors, waiting for Ji Wushuang to settle accounts one by one.
Everyone knew, Ji Wushuang was invincible in the same realm, even capable of killing across realms.
This child’s momentum was unstoppable, no one could hinder him.
“What a hassle, sweeping through so many families one by one, and a few old monsters have even broken through to the mid-stage Sky-Reaching Realm?”
“It will probably take three months to completely unify.”
“So be it, Meng Qin, I’ll let you live for three more months.”
