Chen Xia stepped onto Heart Lake, his expression calm.
He had enlightened.
Not only the Dao of Time, but also the Thunder Dao.
It was dual enlightenment, but also a bit different.
He felt that his comprehension of the Thunder Dao was not quite the same.
Sitting in the Thunder Pool, he didn't gain much enlightenment. Later he suddenly thought of something - the Thunder Dao was the most resolute law between Heaven and Earth. It emphasized decisiveness and ruthlessness.
Chen Xia thought then, could he integrate the Thunder Dao into himself, using his own body as thunder, also being resolute and ruthless, not yielding and fighting if needed.
This was quite suitable for his own temperament and personality.
At first this method didn't have much effect. His comprehension of the Thunder Dao was still half-understood, and he couldn't exert much power.
But fortunately Chen Xia was not alone. He could call out his inner demon to fight with his left and right hands, not holding back at all, emphasizing decisiveness and ruthlessness.
He fought with himself for a month. When Chen Xia was first injured, the Thunder Dao finally made some progress. Dark purple Heavenly Thunder first appeared in his Heart Lake.
The later fights became even more intense. At one point, the inner demon almost lost control and reached out to summon back Half-Immortal Sword.
Fortunately Chen Xia slapped himself in time, calling for a ceasefire.
What he truly comprehended was when he heavily injured himself, mainly because the inner demon had gone too far, not showing any mercy at the end, using the most ruthless means to fight.
In Heart Lake, the inner demon had some advantage. Chen Xia was truly no match. Becoming heavily injured, but the Thunder Dao also had an enormous breakthrough. The dark purple Heavenly Thunder had completely fused with the Heart Lake, becoming a Heart Lake Thunder Pool.
Chen Xia could even transform into dark purple Heavenly Thunder himself, increasing his killing power.
The dual enlightenment was still lacking at this point. Adding that the condensation of the Celestial Dragon True Body still needed some time, he had to sleep again.
Chen Xia estimated that this sleep would be around five hundred years. When he emerged, his strength would probably be at the peak of the Great Death Realm.
The blood colored Heart Lake outside was fading, the blood color disappearing.
The cocoon pupae outside were cracking. It was about to shatter.
Only waiting for the emergence of the Universal Celestial Dragon!
Above the Great Death Realm, jumping forward several planes.
"Come, count off!" Big Yellow Dog clasped his hands behind his back, face solemn as he shouted sternly.
"One!"
"Two!"
"Three!"
"..."
The Great Saints and quasi-Emperors spoke in turn, not at all happy with this. Some even felt humiliated.
Were they being trained like beasts?
But they had no other choice. They couldn't beat Big Yellow Dog.
The Great Saints saw that although Big Yellow Dog was at the quasi-Emperor realm, he was already extremely close to a Great Emperor, and could be considered at the peak of quasi-Emperors.
Moreover, in the recent hundreds of years, a shocking aura that made them tremble faintly emanated from Big Yellow Dog.
It was the aura of a Great Emperor!
Was this Big Yellow Dog really about to break through to become an Emperor?!
Although they didn't know which plane's Emperor throne Big Yellow Dog would take, there was no mistaking the aura of a Great Emperor.
They didn't dare cause any trouble, only able to obediently listen to Big Yellow Dog.
Now there was an Emperor Dog commanding nine Great Saints and quasi-Emperors under him.
Big Yellow Dog clasped his hands behind his back. After the Great Saints finished counting off, he lowered his head as if to look through the endless starry river down to the Great Death Realm. Suddenly focusing his gaze, he anxiously said,
"Chen Xia, wait for me! When I arrive, brother, we will rampage horizontally across the Great Death Realm. Then when we return to the planes, I will slowly gain prestige for you!"
His eyes lowered, somewhat depressed.
The starry river was silent.
After the sixth Great Saint ruins opened, there were two more chances for Great Saint ruins in the Great Death Realm. These were the last two spots.
At this time, the proud geniuses all pondered a question.
That was, who had obtained the opportunity of the first Great Saint ruins?
The chance at the first Great Saint ruins was calculated by the executives of the planes before the Celestial Dragon ruins in the dead sea of stars. But no one had heard of it before then.
Afterwards, no outstanding peerless genius suddenly rose to prominence either.
The proud geniuses carefully considered, and suddenly had an idea about rising to prominence from obscurity.
If they remembered correctly, there was that Lord of Thunder and Sword who was on good terms with Xu Zhen. He could be considered rising to prominence from obscurity. No one had heard of him before, yet he could fight evenly with the Divine Son of the Divine Plane.
Also, the first Great Saint ruins were of Resolute Thunder. This Lord of Thunder and Sword also had some mastery over the laws of Thunder.
Thinking of this, it did seem somewhat possible. Although now they didn't know where this Lord of Thunder and Sword had gone. There was no way to investigate further.
What they had to think of now was who would obtain the opportunity of the seventh Great Saint ruins.
After the Sword Dao Great Saint ruins, another three hundred years passed and news of the seventh Great Saint ruins was calculated.
The specific Great Saint was still unknown, and the location was approximate, but the proud geniuses had already arrived and were in position.
All of them wanted to obtain this chance and become supreme, on par with the top geniuses of the countless planes.
Xu Zhen and Ma Xiaohong arrived early, looking solemn.
Xu Zhen naturally wanted to obtain this chance. Ma Xiaohong had willingly come to support her.
Actually Ma Xiaohong didn't understand anything about support. But it wasn't needed for her to understand, Half-Immortal Sword understood and that was enough.
Rather than saying she had obtained the Sword Dao Great Saint chance, it was more accurate to say Half-Immortal Sword had obtained the chance.
At the end of the day, it was equivalent to Chen Xia obtaining it.
All the benefits were taken by Chen Xia.
Jian Er didn't come, for unknown reasons. Perhaps his own plane had problems that kept him too busy to even take care of his lifebound sword.
Once again, cultivators gathered in a sea of clouds.
Among the dead sea of stars.
Above the enormous Heart Lake.
The cracks on the cocoon pupae grew larger and larger. Chen Xia's exposed head opened his eyes for the first time.
Thunder rumbled around.
Time and celestial dragons danced together.
This was not just the cohesion of the celestial dragon true body. This was an extreme molting.
From body to Heart Lake.
Today was different from the past.
