Ch 418: Ascension
As the Heavenly Mandate, radiating seven-colored radiance above the sky dome, became completely transparent, it ultimately disappeared.
Emperor Yu Yang’s aura grew increasingly terrifying.
A divine light suddenly bloomed from his body, nearly enveloping the entire Divine Palace, then retreated back into his body.
At this moment, Emperor Yu Yang looked like an ordinary person with no traces of cultivation, but upon closer inspection, one could sense an aura from him—vast as the sea, heavy as a mountain, and flawlessly perfect.
After absorbing the Heavenly Mandate, Emperor Yu Yang abruptly looked upward, his expression relaxed.
“To devour all living beings as ashes, I hold the Heavenly Mandate and knock on the Immortal Gate.”
“Today, I, Yu Zhenhong, await the opening of the Heavenly Gate!”
Emperor Yu Yang directly ignored Li Hanzhou and the others below.
His hundred-year plan had now been completed, reaching the supreme realm of shattering, refining the Heavenly Mandate, and ascension was imminent. Therefore, both Li Hanzhou and the entire Divine Palace were insignificant in his eyes.
He was about to become an immortal, henceforth separated from mortals; everything in this Tianxuan Realm would no longer catch his eye!
The words fell.
Above the nine heavens, countless golden auspicious clouds suddenly gathered; the clouds surged incessantly, transforming into anomalies—auspicious signs recorded only in ancient books throughout history.
Immortal cranes soared through the air, circling the golden auspicious clouds, showering down divine brilliance. A divine maiden played the qin, her jade fingers gently plucking the strings; the melodious sound seemed to enter the hearts directly from the ears…
As a boundless aura emerged from the surging auspicious clouds, the immortal cranes, the divine maiden, and other auspicious signs all poured into the clouds. Following this, the clouds transformed into a wide, heavy Heavenly Gate.
A golden divine light appeared between the Heavenly Gate, enveloping Emperor Yu Yang and slowly lifting him toward the gate.
Seeing this scene, Li Hanzhou and the others felt an inexplicable oppression in their hearts.
Immortal cranes soaring, a divine maiden playing music—all these auspicious signs meant that Emperor Yu Yang had successfully opened the passage to the Immortal Realm. Once Emperor Yu Yang entered the open Heavenly Gate, it would signify his successful ascension.
They wanted to stop him, but the aura emanating from the Heavenly Gate gave them a feeling of immeasurable divine might, untouchable; it was as if, if they dared to take a step forward, they would perish in the next moment, leaving behind neither body nor Divine Soul.
At this moment, countless fragments of stone and giant trees on the ground suddenly floated into the air.
As if being drawn in by a tornado, they collided and rubbed against each other, finally transforming into two figures.
One wore a light green robe, with gentle brows and eyes, holding a scroll; he exuded a strong scholarly aura, like a gentle and kind scholar.
The other wore golden armor, tall and imposing, revealing a weather-beaten, somewhat rough face. His body carried extremely intense, almost substantial, blood qi and killing intent, giving him an air of overlooking everything.
“The Immortal Realm passage has been opened. Yu Zhenhong’s ambition is so great.”
Master gazed at the Heavenly Gate, his expression grave.
The Eastern Emperor Palace master did the same. He frowned, glancing towards the direction of the Imperial Mausoleum, and said, “This is the aura of the Heavenly Mandate Great Formation. Yu Zhenhong used the Heavenly Mandate Great Formation, forcibly condensing the Heavenly Mandate, and opened the Heavenly Gate leading to the Immortal Realm!”
“Everything Li Qingfeng did was in vain.”
In order to prevent the Immortal Realm from noticing the Tianxuan Realm, Li Qingfeng had sealed the passage to the Immortal Realm with supreme strength, ensuring that no Heavenly Mandate would be born in the Tianxuan Realm.
But they never imagined that Yu Zhenhong would be so insane as to directly use the Heavenly Mandate Great Formation to absorb the Divine Palace’s national fortune of hundreds of years, to refine the Heavenly Mandate.
“We discovered it too late. It’s already too late.”
Master’s expression showed some helplessness.
They had been in secluded cultivation at their respective training grounds. If it weren’t for the anomaly in the Divine Palace, and the aura of the Heavenly Mandate spreading throughout the Tianxuan Realm, they wouldn’t have anticipated that someone would ascend at this time.
Now that the Immortal Gate was open, it meant that the seal placed by Li Qingfeng years ago had been broken and vanished without a trace.
It was impossible to repair it again.
Li Hanzhou and the others below also recognized Master and the Eastern Emperor Palace master.
Although these two were extremely mysterious in the Tianxuan Realm and rarely appeared, everyone knew their given names; it seemed that Master and the Eastern Emperor Palace master had discovered the anomaly in their Divine Palace Kingdom and had rushed over.
But Emperor Yu Yang had already ascended. Could they stop him?
Obviously not.
Because at this moment, Emperor Yu Yang was only a hair’s breadth away from the Heavenly Gate; with a slight movement, he could easily enter the gate.
“Hahaha!”
Emperor Yu Yang’s hair was disheveled as he burst into laughter.
His mood was incredibly joyful; although there had been some obstacles, he had finally fulfilled his century-long wish.
And he could feel that as long as he passed through this Heavenly Gate, he could go to a much vaster realm—that was the Immortal Realm, the world he had longed for.
As Emperor Yu Yang stepped halfway into the Heavenly Gate, he looked at Master and the Eastern Emperor Palace master in mid-air, and at Li Hanzhou and the others below, smiling as he said a sentence.
“The hundred-year plan is finally completed today. You all will just muddle through in this Tianxuan Realm. I am going to become an immortal ancestor and seek the path to longevity!”
With these words, Emperor Yu Yang’s figure disappeared within the Heavenly Gate.
The Heavenly Gate, formed from auspicious clouds, also gradually became faint, as if it was about to disappear.
At this time, Master and the Eastern Emperor Palace master took action.
A golden light appeared in Master’s raised palm, transforming into a golden writing brush.
Then Master grasped the brush and began to draw and write in the air towards the faintly visible Heavenly Gate in the sky; streaks of golden light appeared before him, finally forming a golden Suppress character.
After the Suppress character appeared, it surged directly towards the Heavenly Gate, and the next moment it covered the Heavenly Gate, intending to completely suppress it.
As if sensing the threat, the Heavenly Gate, which had been faintly visible, suddenly trembled violently, emitting a vast and ancient aura that entwined around the golden character, causing the Suppress character to become shaky, as if it would shatter into pieces the next second.
At this moment.
A black chain, carrying intense blood qi, flew out from the Eastern Emperor Palace master’s body and directly wrapped around the Heavenly Gate, locking it up.
Under the double suppression of the Suppress character and the chain, the Heavenly Gate, which had been trembling violently, finally let out a earth-shattering wail. The vast aura quickly disappeared, and the entire Heavenly Gate vanished completely.
After suppressing and sealing the Heavenly Gate.
Master and the Eastern Emperor Palace master’s expressions still did not ease at all.
Although the ascension passage, transformed into the Heavenly Gate, had been sealed again by them, the aura of the Tianxuan Realm must have been sensed by those in the Immortal Realm. They didn’t know how long it would take before they would descend; at that time, their seal would be like a mere formality.
