The First Immortal of Destiny

Chapter 1107: Chapter 1094: Dao-slashing Sword of Chaotic Yuan (2)

However, ultimately he overcame this heavy tribulation, and even leveraged the final bolt of tribulation lightning, which contained terrifying destructive power, to once again heavily wound Lin Zhaozai. Since then, Lin Zhaozai completely vanished without a trace!

Given the characteristics of the White Bones Path, it was natural that Lin Zhaozai would not fall so easily.

Shen Mo suspected that after his injuries slightly recovered, he refined the forbidden land to ascend using outer realm’s dharma method to the Immortal Realm!

However, Lin Zhaozai was suppressed for tens of thousands of years and even underwent ”death and resurrection.” His cultivation and cultivation level were reduced significantly; logically speaking, even if he arrived at the Immortal Realm without great fortune, he could at most regain peak late Divine Bridge strength within just three or four hundred years, and it was estimated he hadn’t even cultivated Formless.

Yet the divination points to him, indicating Lin Zhaozai has the ability to, during his immortal tribulation, once again turn into an external tribulation to obstruct his path, which is truly baffling.

However, compared to the tribulation threats of Lord Blue Venerable, Heavenly Demon Ancestor, Lin Zhaozai is not much at all; previously, Shen Mo simply didn’t care.

Now, having just formed the Dao-slashing Sword, he thought he might as well use this ”old acquaintance” for practice!

The decision was made.

Shen Mo, in a mysterious perception, sensed the tribulation Qi emanating from Lin Zhaozai. His Dharma Body grasped the Dao-slashing Sword and, under the strange resonance between Dao bone and Dharma Phase, abruptly struck towards the void.

With a clang, heaven and earth trembled;

It seemed something was severed, yet it seemed nothing was severed at all!

However, in the next instant, cracks appeared on the Dao bones of Shen Mo’s Primeval Dharma Aspect; his organs and flesh shattered considerably, and his real body crumbled inch by inch, promptly transforming into a pool of blood, flesh, and bone debris.

”Buzz!”

The Primeval Dharma Aspect glowed with profound immortal light, activating the [Rebirth from the Residual Body] skill, as flesh and bone debris slowly wriggled, gradually coalescing into human form.

Similar to the process of forming the Dharma Phase, the bones shattered into debris bit by bit restored themselves, followed by muscles, skin, hair, Dantian, Chakra, and other parts, taking approximately three days for Shen Mo to be fully restored!

”Indeed, annihilating future tribulation threats is not easily done!” Shen Mo put away the Dharma Phase and Dao-slashing Sword, shook his head, and smiled wryly.

This strike merely eliminated a trivial threat of killing tribulation, resulting in his Dao Body shattering, and spending twenty years of cultivation level to recondense his flesh body with [Rebirth from the Residual Body].

Should he attempt to eliminate the tribulation threats like Lord Blue Venerable and Heavenly Demon Ancestor, he might end up dead and his path extinguished on the spot... In a sense, indeed eliminating the tribulation threat, for when the tribulator falls, the tribulation naturally dissipates!

...

Immortal Realm, Zhuji Continent, a Spiritless Land.

A region of a thousand miles is shrouded in anomalies, the area is filled with dense fog, flickering with strange scenes, precisely the ancient battlefield of immortals and demons in Heaven Patrolling Zone!

Although its external appearance is not large, internally it is a complete world.

Not far from the original site of Demon-Suppressing Tower lies a skeleton comparable in size to Jade Wheel Palace. Judging by its skull with two pairs of eye sockets and other features, it’s the carcass of a Four-eyed Giant.

Lin Zhaozai manifested the White Bone form, half of his body embedded into the skull of the giant carcass, thick origin power seeping like mercury into the white bones!

Back then, he converted into tribulation to slay Shen Mo but failed, instead was severely injured. To avoid retaliation from the increasingly powerful Shen Mo, he hid deep in the Immortal Burial Sea.

Until contact between the Immortal Realm and the Primordial Realm resumed, he immediately refined a forbidden land to leave the Primordial Realm and descend into the Immortal Realm, but was mysteriously swept by another forbidden land en route. Upon regaining consciousness, he found himself fallen into the Vacuous Realm.

Only then did Lin Zhaozai realize the entire Vacuous Realm had already been refined into an existence akin to a forbidden land... Such powerful means, it must be at least a celestial being with cultivation level beyond Earth Immortal!

Since tens of thousands of years ago, being suppressed in the Demon-Suppressing Tower, he was unaware of what had transpired within Vacuous Realm.

All he knew was ”waking up” to find the world flipped upside down, all human cultivators in the domain perished, only other creatures remained, even Vacuous Realm drifted out of its original Star Zone, transforming into an exotic land, becoming known as ”ancient battlefield of immortals and demons” by outsider cultivators.

But undoubtedly, during his suppression, an exceptionally fierce battle must have occurred within Vacuous Realm!

As for why Vacuous Realm swept him away and where it eventually headed, he remains clueless.

Several years later, Vacuous Realm descended upon Zhuji Continent in the Immortal Realm.

Lin Zhaozai also arrived in the Immortal Realm, yet before he could catch his breath, Vacuous Realm underwent astounding changes...

To his horror, he discovered countless human race corpses buried underground ”came to life”;

They carried the aura of Death Ghost Realm, existing between life and death, though not True Immortals, they were Undead.

Influenced by the Death Ghost Realm’s aura, Lin Zhaozai couldn’t discern the cultivation level of these Undead, yet even the seemingly weakest ones were extraordinarily fierce. Upon exiting Vacuous Realm and entering Zhuji Continent, confronted by grandmasters in Divine Bridge Realm and Formless Realm who came to investigate, they were instantly slain, and those who fell joined the ranks of the Undead!

The devastation in the Spiritless Land outside Vacuous Realm resulted from a cataclysmic battle between the strongest of these Undead and local True Immortals from Zhuji Continent.

Fortunately for Lin Zhaozai, possibly due to being fellow Vacuous Realm cultivators, these Undead did not attack him.

Moreover, when they crawled out from underground, they brought with them a large amount of powerful bones buried deep below... Because these corpses were incomplete, each only had partial skulls, hands, legs, spine, and other fragments, they did not ”resurrect” into an Undead.

For Lin Zhaozai cultivating the White Bones Path, these mighty bones were the highest grade resources.

He scavenged across Vacuous Realm, collecting massive amounts of fragmented white bones, integrating them into his own bones with his White Bones Path.

Through this opportunity, Lin Zhaozai not only repaired all old hidden ailments but restored his peak cultivation, his Realm rapidly soaring to enter Formless Realm!

After tasting benefits, he began to roam various dangerous lands and battlefield relics, excavating powerful corpses.

Normally, the residual prohibitions and spell imprints alone would have been enough to obliterate him to dust; however, since one by one the Undead crawled out from the depths, the residual prohibitions and spells were mostly destroyed, allowing him to safely dig out numerous powerful corpses,

Among them was the Four-eyed Giant’s skeleton he was currently refining.

This giant’s skeleton, hundreds or thousands of times larger than his ten-thousand-foot white bone form, stretched over a thousand miles from head to toe, a single toe bone was akin to a large mountain.

The entirety of the bones was charred like coal, seemingly burnt by the sun’s true flame, yet even after tens of thousands of years of demise, the lingering power still remained, leaving behind magnificent Dao rhyme that truly frightens... Lin Zhaozai speculated that the Four-eyed Giant probably reached Class VII during its life, equivalent to True Immortal Realm!

”Once I completely refine this giant’s skeleton, the White Bones Path will surely reach Senior achievement, and at that time, I can effortlessly step into True Immortal Realm!”

Lin Zhaozai’s White Bone form gradually merged into the Four-eyed Giant’s skeleton, the areas being refined progressively restored to a pristine white color, now half of the giant skeleton was white as jade, while the remaining half was black as coal. It wouldn’t be long before he could fully refine it!

Though the Four-eyed Giant was a Class VII powerhouse in life, and even after tens of thousands of years post-mortem, only a skeleton remains, its lingering Dao rhyme willpower is still tremendously vast, far beyond Lin Zhaozai’s ability to refine.

His current endeavor, rather than refining the giant’s skeleton, would better be described as actively being refined by the giant’s skeleton, aiding the Four-eyed Giant in returning to life... In the end, he would completely merge with the giant’s skeleton, as long as his own will and the White Bones Path remained intact, it made no difference to him!

At precisely this moment, Lin Zhaozai’s expression changed drastically, as his Three Disasters and Six Tribulations suddenly erupted without warning.
