Chapter 404 - 404 403 Heavenly Ridge

404: Chapter 403 Heavenly Ridge 404: Chapter 403 Heavenly Ridge Under the Heavenly Dao, transcendence is not permitted; this is the destiny for all beings, with no exceptions, even for The Three Pure Ones and Nuwa, who attained their sainthood through merit.

Ye Xuan sought an existence where Heaven and Earth could perish, yet he would not; where all things could die, yet he would not die.

His only path was to prove the Dao through strength, to truly transcend this realm, and become the saint of all saints.

Now, Ye Xuan faced two choices—he could, like other Daluo Golden Immortals, condense the Laws of Heaven and Earth, henceforth subsisting under the Heavenly Dao and utilizing the power of Heaven and Earth for his own use.

The second path, to carve out his own laws and Dao, to step into the Daluo Realm relying solely on his own strength without borrowing the power of Heaven and Earth, was also the initial threshold for proving the Dao through strength.

Undoubtedly, Ye Xuan’s ambition was vast; he would absolutely not choose the first path, and now, only the second path was available to him.

However, Ye Xuan was confused—if he did not condense the Laws of Heaven and Earth and could not utilize the power of Heaven and Earth, how would he step into the Daluo Golden Immortal?

The cold winds of Heaven and Earth howled, and the vast sea of clouds steamed.

Ye Xuan stood steadfastly on the mountaintop, his hands behind his back, and when his eyes opened and closed, they were filled entirely with confusion, clearly troubled by this dilemma.

As the heavens turned and the days and months alternated, a full half-year passed.

Ye Xuan, like an unwavering rock, remained motionless; the drifting snow covered his body, not a hint of life exuding from him.

“One Power Breaks All Laws?”

Suddenly, a spark of enlightenment streaked through Ye Xuan’s mind; the snow covering his body tumbled down, revealing his figure once more, and when his eyes opened and closed, brilliant Immortal Light flicked past.

“Condensing the Laws of Heaven and Earth, utilizing the power of Heaven and Earth—all these are but manifestations of power.

If I could continually devour the cultivation of Daluo Golden Immortals, by relying on myself, I could also step into that realm,” said Ye Xuan, his eyes glowing, his voice slightly trembling.

“Cultivating oneself, plundering from Heaven and Earth, and subduing the Laws of Heaven and Earth for oneself—that is the path I should take, and it is also the most fundamental part of proving the Dao through strength,” Ye Xuan muttered to himself, a flush crossing his face.

Ye Xuan was correct; becoming a Daluo Golden Immortal was not so complex.

For anyone stepping into the Daluo Golden Immortal realm, the first thing to do is to comprehend the Heavenly Dao, then to merge oneself with Heaven and Earth, to condense the so-called Laws of Heaven and Earth, naturally enabling the use of the power of Heaven and Earth.

This is fundamentally what sets a Daluo Golden Immortal apart from ordinary Immortals.

In this way, the matter becomes much simpler.

Because Daluo Golden Immortals utilize the power of Heaven and Earth, they can exhibit the might to destroy Heaven and obliterate Earth.

If Ye Xuan could continuously devour the cultivation of other Daluo Golden Immortals, he too could enter this realm.

As the saying goes, a change in quantity can lead to a change in quality; this is not mere talk.

If Ye Xuan could step into the Daluo realm without relying on Heaven and Earth but depending solely on himself, he would achieve an immensely terrifying enhancement.

Even among Daluo Golden Immortals, Ye Xuan would be a one-man match for ten, and if he had the Reverse Immortal Array Map and the Heavenly Punishment Halberd at his disposal, it would be bold to say that he would be invincible in the Daluo Realm, but he would certainly have few rivals.

The path ahead was now clear, but Ye Xuan’s smile gradually faded, his brow furrowing slightly.

He currently stood only at the peak of Luotian, and though he had the Reverse Immortal Array Map and the Heavenly Punishment Halberd in hand, killing a Daluo Golden Immortal was indeed difficult.

Ye Xuan had managed to kill Master Yu Ding because his opponent was already injured, and Ye Xuan had also spent ten years during his seclusion to deliver a fatal strike.

Having taken advantage of the right timing, location, and social conditions, Ye Xuan had thus been able to use the Tribulation Immortal Skill to devour Master Yu Ding’s Cultivation Dao Fruit, but if he aimed to continue devouring the cultivation of Daluo Golden Immortals, this was clearly a great challenge.

Suddenly, Ye Xuan’s brow relaxed, a smile forming at the corner of his mouth.

Since the path ahead was now clear, he had to forge ahead bravely; there really was no other choice.

Overthinking would only serve to trouble his mind.

Ye Xuan’s thoughts rotated as he gazed into the boundless Northern Continent.

When his eyes opened and closed, a sinister intent swept through them.

“Northern Continent, where demons lurk and slaughter abounds, including the Heavenly Demon King and numerous primordial alien species.

There are many not weaker than the Daluo Golden Immortals.

If I could devour them, naturally I would step into the Daluo Realm.”

Boom!

The Luotian Golden Light dissipated and the Heavenly Demon Light rose.

At this moment, Ye Xuan shapeshifted once again into the form of Kong Li.

Behind him rose the Five-Colored Divine Light, as he rode the clouds towards the vast land of the north.

Before entering the Daluo Realm, Ye Xuan would never expose his true self.

Since he no longer held the title of Emperor Dongji, he transformed into the Heavenly Demon of the Northern Continent.

He intended to use the Northern Continent as his base, to completely stir the winds and clouds of this world.

…

Heavenly Ridge!

Demons gathered, and monsters roamed.

Spread across millions of miles, this place of destitute mountains and rivers was notoriously wretched in the Northern Continent.

The Hundred Thousand Mountains were fraught with danger.

The Million-Mile Desolate Marsh killed invisibly.

The three million-mile long Kiwi River surged violently, surrounded by the towering primordial mountains, filled with unimaginable perils.

Great Demons settled, monsters roared, and numerous primordial alien species roamed.

Countless Little Demons abounded, and Demon Kings ruled as monarchs over the mountains, making the million-mile Heavenly Ridge a land of great danger.

Let alone mortal cultivators, even a Group of Immortals would detour when crossing this place, as a misstep could lead to a soul-scattering demise.

Swish, swish, swish!

The dark and murky Kiwi River, flowing turbulently according to the ancient laws, occasionally revealed clumps of white bones floating up and down in the water, inducing a deep chill in anyone who glanced at it.

This three million-mile long Kiwi River encircled the entire Heavenly Ridge, marking the essential passage to enter the ridge.

Crossing the Kiwi River meant reaching the million-mile desolate marsh that kills without trace and fully entering the heart of the Heavenly Ridge.

Across the ten million miles of Heavenly Ridge, there were nine major Heavenly Demons known as the ‘Nine Heavenly Demon Kings’.

They were infamous in Northern Continent, dominating this region.

Beneath the Nine Heavenly Demon Kings, countless other Great Demons dwelled, unyielding to the controls of Heaven and Earth and disbelieving in the paths of Buddha and Dao, all beings of fierce and malevolent nature.

Before the Kiwi River.

The Five-Colored Divine Light faintly blossomed.

Ye Xuan stood by the riverbank, his expression neither sad nor joyful, but the demonic light around him was eerie and sinister.

Even if other demons of the Heavenly Ridge knew there was a stranger, they wouldn’t dare to approach recklessly to test him.

Awoo!

Primordial giant beasts roared in the mountains, endless bands of demons howled fiercely.

The Heavenly Demon fog covered the sky densely, filled with a putrid malevolent atmosphere.

This made Ye Xuan slightly furrow his brows, a look of disgust flashing across his eyes.

It wasn’t that Ye Xuan detested the demons of Heavenly Ridge, but rather he despised such a filthy and vile environment.

Though Heavenly Ridge was a place of destitute mountains and rivers, it was exceedingly dirty, chaotic, and foul-smelling.

Ye Xuan truly wondered how those Heavenly Demons could tolerate such an environment, or perhaps those Heavenly Demons believed that creating such an environment would strike fear into outsiders?

Although Ye Xuan was also a being of extreme brutality, he had high standards for his living environment.

He could slaughter across millions of miles, yet he would not let a drop of blood stain him.
