Chapter 964 - 959: Refining True Reality into Permanence, An Undying Body Indestructible by Myriad Tribulations!

Chapter 964: Chapter 959: Refining True Reality into Permanence, An Undying Body Indestructible by Myriad Tribulations!

Amidst endless waves and rolling Thunder Sounds in the sky, Lü Yang stood upon the Dao of Arcane Body, looking up at the Heaven. He gazed at the unsolvable Constant that had pronounced his death sentence.

He was not in despair; instead, joy blossomed in his heart, because at the exact moment this Constant appeared, over in the Netherworld, streaks of soaring rosy clouds abruptly emerged, converging into a sea of radiance.

The Daoist Lord of Magic!

In the previous life, it was ultimately this Daoist Lord who made a move, once shaking the Constant written by the Saint Sect Ancestral Master. Unfortunately, he fell short at the final hurdle.

This time, however, when the second Constant appeared, the Daoist Lord of Magic struck again. The resulting tremor in the Netherworld’s Constant was far more violent than in the Previous Life—it almost completely shattered. Clearly, the appearance of the second Constant had indeed divided the Saint Sect Ancestral Master’s attention!

"Excellent!"

Lü Yang felt invigorated. Aside from the changes in the Netherworld, the silhouette of the Other Shore positioned high in the Heaven seemed noticeably dimmer compared to before.

"As expected, Magic and Mana truly amount to something!"

At the very least, when it came to interfering with the Current World, the Saint Sect Ancestral Master was indeed bogged down by them. Yet, the more crucial factor was that Bhagavat had chosen to turn on him.

"Next, it all depends on the choice of that old fogey from the Stain Sect."

At this thought, Lü Yang couldn’t help but grin. "By reestablishing the Dao of Arcane Body, it is undeniably a massive blow to the Pocket World Technique in the long run.

"However, that will still require a certain amount of time to take effect.

"The Netherworld, on the other hand, is an entirely different matter. Ang Xiao’s Attainment is imminent. Can you really turn a blind eye to it? If Ang Xiao becomes a Master of Dao, disaster will be right on your doorstep!"

He then asked aloud, "Will you choose me, or will you choose Ang Xiao?"

The answer to this question couldn’t be simpler.

Especially since, right as the Netherworld’s Constant nearly shattered, Ang Xiao had already made his move, rapidly advancing toward the Netherworld’s core!

If not stopped, he truly had a chance at Attainment!

Even if the consciousness of the First Generation Demon Taming Peak Master remained within the Netherworld’s core, one couldn’t forget that Bhagavat still held onto a spare life that Ang Xiao had left behind in the past! He had two chances! The first chance would be used to forcefully crash into and kill the First Generation Demon Taming Peak Master, and the second to directly achieve Attainment. If the Saint Sect Ancestral Master didn’t intervene, this outcome was practically a foregone conclusion.

What would he do?

In the next second, a choice aligning with Lü Yang’s expectations arrived from the Other Shore: the Netherworld’s Constant, which had been on the verge of shattering, was instantly restored to its original state.

In exchange, the power of the Constant binding him sharply plummeted.

If the Constant previously restricting him could be likened to an unbreakable iron chain, it had now become a rope that could be snapped.

However, this so-called "could be snapped" was an assessment made from the perspective of a Master of Dao’s domain. To a Lower Cultivator, it remained an immovable, absolute existence.

But reaching this point was more than enough!

Lü Yang exhaled a long breath. As the most crucial chess piece, he had single-handedly orchestrated the shifting tides of the millennial Tribulation, forcing even Masters of Dao to intervene.

"Other than me, who else could the Tribulation favor?"

As if responding to Lü Yang’s exclamation, in the very next second, the Great Dao that stood tall in the Sea of Suffering—seemingly capable of leading directly to the Other Shore—descended across the void!

Tribulation!

The innate Great Dao, standing on the same level as the Constant, finally responded to Lü Yang’s existence at this moment. The Origin Laws of Dao of the Void Sea of Light rumbled and surged!

To some extent, this was the Mighty Power of a Master of Dao!

Thus, the moment the Tribulation descended, the Constant bearing down on Lü Yang immediately began to shake violently, and glaring cracks surfaced on it!

However, relying on the Tribulation alone was not enough. After all, the Tribulation currently had no Master of Dao; it was merely responding autonomously. On the other hand, the Constant was not only being meticulously manipulated by the Saint Sect Ancestral Master, but its inherent strength was also terrifyingly high. The clash between the two merely resulted in a slight destabilization of the Constant.

Such a minor fluctuation was negligible to a Lower Cultivator.

Under the Constant, the process could be altered, but the result would remain unchanged. As long as it was not thoroughly shattered, no matter what Lü Yang did, the Dao of Arcane Body would eventually fall into silence.

Unless—another Master of Dao made a move.

"Emperor Muni!"

Lü Yang abruptly shouted Bhagavat’s True Name. Drawn by the karmic links of his True Name, Bhagavat’s ability to interfere with the Current World instantly surpassed that of the other Masters of Dao by a significant margin!

This was a capability unique to Bhagavat. It wasn’t solely due to the karmic links of his True Name, but more so because he stood low enough. For someone halfway up a mountain, reaching out to the foot of the mountain was simply easier than it was for someone at the peak. This usual flaw had now become the key to turning the tide!

In the next second, Lü Yang split into two.

Two Lü Yangs—one real, one illusory. One was his true body, while the other was the ’Lü Yang from the previous instant.’ They stood in opposition, like two sides of a mirror.

Then, the ’Lü Yang from the previous instant’ soared into the air.

BANG!

This phantom figure shattered just like that, fulfilling the unseen Constant: Lü Yang was "dead," and the Dao of Arcane Body had indeed not reappeared in the world "for the time being."

The Constant suddenly dimmed, losing its brilliance.

In a split second, the silhouette from the Other Shore flared with light. Lü Yang could even vaguely discern an extremely tiny figure within that vast outline.

It was tiny, but not because it was weak.

On the contrary, the higher a mountain climber stood, the tinier they appeared to those at the foot of the mountain... This was a symbol of strength!

"The Saint Sect Ancestral Master?"

Lü Yang didn’t dwell on it. The window of opportunity Bhagavat had bought him lasted only an instant, and the Constant that had just dimmed was already showing signs of lighting up once more.

This was the most optimal opportunity.

Once he missed this moment, when the Constant was firmly reestablished, he was certain the Saint Sect Ancestral Master would definitely not give him and Bhagavat another chance to exploit any loopholes.

Therefore, without any hesitation, Lü Yang seized this fleeting opportunity. The Rebirth Appearance and the Past Dust Appearance firmly planted themselves at the beginning and end of the Dao of Arcane Body, respectively, before merging into it. His Position, which was already nearing its limit, broke past its boundaries in this moment, breaking free from a cocoon to be reborn!

Subsequently, the Dao of Arcane Body vanished.

Above the Sea of Suffering, only Lü Yang remained.

And it was only then that Taiyin Immortal Venerable broke through the heavenly chasm left behind by the Heaven-Spinning Sun-Revolving Dao Fruit and arrived before him, her beautiful face bearing an indescribably complex expression.

The Lü Yang of this moment was no longer the same entity as he had been a moment ago. He now truly stood in the same domain as she did, with everything Profound Mysterious elevated to its ultimate peak. Empowered by the Tribulation, he even instilled a strong sense of crisis within her—this was a formidable foe who could genuinely rival her!

The Dao of Arcane Body, Great Perfected Lord!

At the same time, the six Great Perfected Lords of the Star Palace nearby, the Star Palace True Monarchs on the Celestial Mansion battlefield, and even the True Monarch of Profound Wall residing Beyond the Heavens all sensed it. Not only that, but even the Cultivators practicing the Pocket World Technique felt it as well. Qi Refiners, Foundation-Stage Cultivators, and Perfected Lords—their originally frail lifespans surged wildly at this moment!

Even mortals were no exception!

An endless Qi trace of life erupted from the bodies of all Living Creatures, overflowing the Outer Realms and saturating the Sea of Light, triggering trillions of auspicious clouds and filling the Heaven with immortal radiance!

From this day forth, mortals would possess a lifespan of one hundred and fifty years! For Qi Refiners: the Early Stage would have two hundred years, the Mid-phase five hundred years, the Late Stage a thousand years, and Perfection three thousand years! For Foundation-Stage Cultivators: the Early Stage would have ten thousand years, the Mid-phase thirty thousand years, the Late Stage eighty-four thousand years, and Perfection one hundred and twenty-nine thousand and six hundred years! And for Perfected Lords, their lifespans would be infinite!

In addition, with the revival of the Dao of Arcane Body, the Three Foundations were gathered once more. The Mighty Power of the Dao of Arcane Power and the Dao of Arcane Arts increased synchronously, as if filling a void!

All at once, the sentient beings in the Sea of Light cheered endlessly.

Commanding the Dao of Arcane Body, Lü Yang’s figure—under the resonance of the Sea of Suffering—appeared in every Outer Realm and every corner of the Void Sea of Light.

Under the watchful eyes of the masses and the downward gaze of Masters of Dao, he looked completely relaxed and unbothered. He simply gazed up at the Other Shore with unbridled abandon, laughing as he chanted:

"Walking the Great Dao alone to guard celestial purity, nourishing profound roots with residual consciousness in obscurity.

"Integrating the Qi of Heaven and Earth and the Five Elements, a single burst of strength can cleave seas and crush mountains into dust.

"In leisure, I smile and count the turning stars; sitting in stillness, entirely forgetting the passing of years.

"Refining my true nature into an unshakeable constant, forging an immortal body impervious to ten thousand tribulations!"
