Chapter 1125 Breakthrough
Su Mo stared at the three gleaming characters "Potionable" on the light screen, his eyes shining brighter and brighter like a burst of stars. The expectations that had been suppressed for nearly 15 million years burst forth at this moment, as if to illuminate the entire Immortal Palace, pierce through the chaos, and carry the hope of breaking through the realm. They leaped and burned in his pupils, igniting the boundless ambition hidden deep in his heart.
"A fourth-rank Golden Immortal, I have arrived!"
With a low shout, Su Mo's voice boomed like thunder, echoing through the Azure Dragon Immortal Palace. The azure dragon phantoms on the pillars tumbled in response. Then, his mind, like an indestructible sword, pierced through the barrier of consciousness, issuing a command to the mysterious golden finger: "Infuse the Primordial Immortal Scripture!"
[You have diligently cultivated the Primordial Immortal Scripture, undergoing the refinement of 500,000 cosmic eras. The Primordial Immortal Scripture has finally broken through to the fourth level, successfully advancing you to the fourth rank of Golden Immortal!]
The cold notification sound echoed in his mind, yet it was like the most rousing war drum. Every word struck Su Mo's soul, making his blood boil and even his immortal bones emit a faint hum, as if cheering for this breakthrough.
"Om..."
Deep within the sea of consciousness, the mysterious light that had been dormant for nearly fifteen million years suddenly surged, like a deep pool thrown into a boulder, stirring up layers of golden ripples. Wherever it passed, even the sea of consciousness trembled slightly.
Immediately afterwards, the 132,687,628 units of immortal true spirits on the light screen fluctuated violently. The numbers decreased rapidly like the receding tide, and the red minus sign jumped rapidly, instantly decreasing by nearly half, finally settling at 69,730,000 units—nearly 70 million units of immortal true spirits were completely devoured by the Primordial Immortal Scripture in an instant, leaving not even a trace of aftershock.
The next second...
"boom......"
An immortal power, capable of striking fear into the hearts of even an eighth-rank Golden Immortal, erupted from the depths of his natal immortal domain like a volcano dormant for billions of years. The power was scorching and domineering, carrying the might of creation, surging through his meridians like a raging river, merging into every inch of Su Mo's immortal bones and every wisp of his divine consciousness, frantically transforming his body.
Fine golden patterns appeared on the surface of the immortal bones, spreading like a spider web. These were the marks left by the tempering of the primordial rules, shimmering with the luster of the Great Dao's origin, making the immortal bones as hard as immortal gold. The meridians were widened to ten times their previous size, crystal clear like glass pipes, with pure immortal power flowing inside. Each flush made the meridians more resilient, enough to bear even more violent power. Even the divine soul, nourished by this power, became as brilliant as the sun, radiating a pressure that suppressed the universe, as if with just a thought, it could make thousands of immortal realms bow down in submission.
The Five Pure Lotus beneath him trembled violently, its five-colored divine light surging ten thousand feet, like five pillars of light reaching the sky and shooting straight to the top of the palace, yet it still could not conceal the surging momentum within Su Mo's body. A large number of profound primordial Dao patterns appeared and moved on Su Mo's body, like living spirit snakes, each pattern containing the Dao rhythm of creation—sometimes transforming into the scene of the beginning of chaos and the separation of purity and turbidity, sometimes manifesting the trajectory of the birth and death of stars and the cycle of all things.
With the support of the Dao patterns, his immortal body defense was rapidly advancing towards becoming a fourth-grade immortal artifact at a speed visible to the naked eye. The layer of chaotic divine light on his body surface was becoming increasingly brilliant, as if it were covered with a layer of flowing chaotic refined gold. It was a sign of highly condensed immortal matter, and even spatial friction could not leave the slightest trace.
Around the Azure Dragon Immortal Ship, one hundred and eight illusory spirits had silently appeared. Each had a solemn expression and eyes as heavy as iron, wielding various immortal artifacts—some held longswords, their sword energy soaring to the heavens, seemingly capable of severing time and space; some held precious seals, their light deep and concentrated, as if capable of suppressing eternity; some held banners, their shadows swaying, drawing in chaotic energy. They trod on profound steps, each step landing on a void node, rapidly forming a Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiend Suppressing Immortal Array. The array patterns spread like a spiderweb, enveloping the entire Azure Dragon Immortal Palace. Gray-black chaotic power flowed on the array patterns, colliding with Su Mo's leaked aura, producing a "sizzling" sound, desperately blocking the ever-increasing, terrifying pressure that almost crushed the Azure Dragon Immortal Ship, preventing it from collapsing under this force.
.....
An hour later.
The immortal power that terrified even an eighth-grade Golden Immortal seemed to be summoned by some mysterious force, abruptly receding and retreating into Su Mo's body like a tide, disappearing without a trace, not even a trace of its aura leaking out. Immediately afterward, the surging aura around Su Mo rapidly declined, plummeting from a height that would frighten even a sixth-grade Perfect Golden Immortal, completely subsiding within his body in the blink of an eye, returning him to his ordinary appearance—if it weren't for the fact that he sat upright on the five-colored lotus platform, surrounded by a faint primordial Dao aura, and the occasional stream of light from his fingertips carrying the aura of laws, no one would have imagined that this seemingly ordinary figure possessed the power to shake the Star Abyss, like a sleeping ancient beast, motionless until it stirs, causing earth-shattering upheavals.
......
After a few breaths.
Su Mo slowly opened his tightly closed eyes, his eyes sparkling with undisguised excitement, as if they contained two brilliant galaxies. As the galaxies flowed, countless rules seemed to be born and die, and every move he made carried the rhythm of the Great Dao.
Although the cost of becoming a fourth-grade Golden Immortal is enormous—dozens of times greater than when breaking through to the third-grade Golden Immortal—the gains are also earth-shattering. The power of the main body alone is enough to rival some mid-stage seventh-grade Golden Immortals; once all 1,800 illusory spirit bodies are unleashed, setting up the Thousand Gods Array and gathering all their power into one body, their combat strength will surely firmly enter the ranks of ninth-grade Golden Immortals, and they might even be considered among the weakest among many ninth-grade Golden Immortals.
"Now, I can truly be considered to have joined the ranks of the top experts in the Yuanjin Immortal Kingdom." Su Mo chuckled, his fingertips lightly tracing the petals of the Five Directions Purifying Lotus, feeling the immense power flowing within his body, and a surge of pride welled up in his heart.
The Lotus of the Great Dao has twelve petals, and theoretically, an Immortal Golden Immortal should also have twelve petals. However, in reality, the twelve-petal Golden Immortal is merely a legend. At least among the hundreds of Immortal Golden Immortals suppressed by Ancestor Jin Yan, none have ever truly blossomed into the twelve-petaled lotus, reaching that legendary realm. Even eleven-petal Golden Immortals are extremely rare throughout the history of the ancient immortal realm. Each one is a supreme giant surpassing even the Eternal Immortal King, capable of obliterating an immortal kingdom with a wave of their hand, and causing the entire ancient immortal realm to tremble with a stomp of their foot.
For most Golden Immortals, the ninth rank is the end of their cultivation journey. Even among the many Eternal Immortal Kings, those above the ninth level can only bloom the Lotus of the Great Dao at the ninth rank, and can hardly advance any further. That invisible barrier stands in their way like an insurmountable chasm.
"Next is the Primordial Void Extreme Immortal Scripture." A hint of anticipation flashed in Su Mo's eyes as he looked toward his Natal Immortal Domain. "There are also five Rank Six Golden Immortals. With their source strength, they can harvest at least six or seven more small targets of Immortal True Spirits, which should be enough for my breakthrough."
The next second...
Su Mo's mind sank into his natal immortal domain, and his divine sense, like an invisible torrent, swept over the five remaining sixth-grade golden immortals in the chaotic prison, taking in their conditions.
Inside the Chaos Cage, the auras of Ancestor Jinyan and the other four had weakened further, almost to the point of exhaustion. Their soul flames grew increasingly dim, like candles flickering in the wind, threatening to extinguish at any moment. The chaotic light chains binding them tightened even more, the runes on the chains shimmering with an eerie light. Each breath was accompanied by the loss of their immortal essence, turning into wisps of mist absorbed and extinguished by the light chains. Ancestor Jinyan's once fiery red soul flame had now turned ashen, like burnt-out ashes. Only a trace of resentment and bitterness remained in his eyes as he stared intently at the void outside the cage, as if trying to etch Su Mo's image into his soul, never to be forgotten. The others didn't even have the strength to lift their heads; their souls curled up into a ball, helplessly allowing the Primordial Immortal Power to continuously devour their immortal essence, their eyes filled only with numbness and despair.
"At most another million years, we should be able to completely obliterate these five sixth-grade Golden Immortals." Su Mo's divine sense lingered on them for a moment, and he had already made up his mind.
Although the illusory bodies did not improve as much as the original body, they all entered the early stage of the seventh rank Golden Immortal realm, and the rate of destruction increased several times over.
......
Spring goes and autumn comes, and 360,000 years have passed quietly.
The Azure Dragon Immortal Boat's trajectory through the chaos extended for countless eons. Wherever it passed, the chaotic currents automatically retreated, leaving behind a silent path. And within the chaotic prison of the Immortal Realm, this long period of annihilation finally came to an end.
Of the five sixth-grade Golden Immortals, only the two peak sixth-grade Golden Immortals, Ancestor Jin Yan and Ancestor Cang Lei, were still barely clinging to life, struggling to stay afloat with their profound foundations. The other three late-stage sixth-grade Golden Immortals had followed in the footsteps of Fairy Qing Lan—their divine soul fires were completely extinguished under the continuous burning of the Primordial Immortal Power, along with their last trace of resentment and bitterness, disappearing into the Chaos Prison and becoming stepping stones on Su Mo's path of cultivation.
"Om..."
A dazzling golden light burst forth from the light screen in front of Su Mo, and the numbers after the Immortal True Spirit jumped wildly again, soaring like wildfire, instantly breaking through the barrier of five small targets, and finally settling steadily at 526,834,528 units.
The long-dormant Hongmeng Void Ultimate Immortal Scripture finally revealed the three golden characters "Can be infused," with a Daoist charm that seemed completely different from the Hongmeng Immortal Scripture, carrying a mysterious aura of returning to the ultimate void and encompassing all things, as if it could contain all the rules of the world.
"A perfected fourth-grade Golden Immortal, achieved!"
