Inside the main sanctum of the temple.
Many of the halls were slightly vibrating.
For the first time since completing all the structures and acquiring the complete artifacts, it had revealed its fangs, confronting a powerful being at the peak of the seventh level!
Wu Ming was extremely satisfied with the achieved outcome.
In just one round, the Infinite Serpent, previously exuding terrifying might, was drawn into the main temple and suppressed.
“The entire main temple is actually an Eight-Level Great Immortal! Although there might be some gap, it is not significant!”
Wu Ming pondered silently, his heart filled with awe.
Though seemingly just a step separates the seventh and eighth levels, in reality, the difference is vast.
Just look at the fate of the Infinite Serpent. Despite reaching the limit of the seventh level, the moment it failed to take that final step, it was immediately suppressed by the main temple, unable to resist in the slightest.
No! There was still some resistance!
Wu Ming arrived beside the Origin Pool and immediately saw a black serpent shadow beneath the thick purple cosmic energy.
Even though it had been sealed by the essence of the world, the black serpent was still struggling continuously, causing tremors that made the surrounding palace structures shake.
“Infinite Serpent, even if you wield the authority of endless cycles and rebirth, within my main temple, you can only be eternally sealed away!”
“Main Temple!”
Wu Ming softly called out.
[Ding! Task established, sealing in progress!]
Faithfully executing Wu Ming’s command, the main temple sent down chains of purple energy, like mountains crushing an egg, causing the resistance of the black serpent at the bottom of the Origin Pool to weaken further and further.
Eventually, the once infinitely massive black serpent suddenly shrank into a tiny mudfish, sealed at the bottom of the Origin Pool, unable to move again.
The tremors throughout the entire main temple immediately stabilized.
On the continent of Saier.
With a flash of light, the previously enormous black serpent vanished, leaving only Wu Ming standing in its place.
“Primordial energy is sealed; this is a divinely bestowed golden opportunity!”
Wu Ming smiled and closed his eyes.
Boom!
With the interference of the Infinite Serpent eliminated, as the sole Seventh-Level Golden Immortal on Saier Continent, he immediately gained the favor of all the primordial energies.
The universe’s ascension and the joy of this world, the fundamental power developed from the Chaos Sea, poured down like an inverted Milky Way.
If previously stealing the world’s primordial energy was like thin threads, and the world’s ascension was like a stream trickling forth, then now the influx of primordial energy was like rivers and seas cascading down!
Wu Ming felt as if he had become overstuffed. Both his magical energy and spiritual consciousness were elevated to their limits by the influx of primordial energy.
Even the main temple seemed to be unable to absorb the energy as fast as it was pouring in!
This was the tremendous benefit brought by the universe’s ascension!
“No… if this continues, I will explode. I must use this opportunity to directly break through to the Great Immortal level!”
Wu Ming gritted his teeth and suddenly made his decision.
…
On Saier Continent.
Many ordinary people fainted to the ground, with only a few supernaturals still conscious.
But even they wished they could blissfully faint like the ordinary people, at least then they wouldn’t have to be so anxious.
“K… Karitan! How is it going?”
Beatrice collapsed on the ground, barely able to lift her head as she asked.
“I… I can’t see…”
Karitan’s voice was bitter:
“All I can see is the blue dragon and the serpent vanishing simultaneously, after which the light became too intense to see clearly…”
The Infinite Serpent’s physical form was naturally enormous, visible to everyone on the ground. However, once it transformed into a human form, the supernaturals on land could no longer track its presence.
After all, on the previous continent, William Wallace was the only legendary Sainthood figure.
To witness this duel, one would need a being of no less than the sixth level!
Unfortunately, the gods outside could not see the final moments of the battle due to the barrier of primordial energy.
Meanwhile, the native inhabitants of Saier Continent, due to their low power levels, remained completely oblivious.
“You don’t need to worry; my master will surely achieve ultimate victory!”
For some reason, Karitan had great confidence in His Majesty the King.
Because the impression he gave was simply too profound, making her always feel that beneath William’s exterior, there was something far deeper hidden.
“Just now, the serpent appeared for a moment, then screamed in the white light… judging from that, my master must be prevailing!”
Halfway through her words, Karitan’s expression suddenly changed:
“What is this…?”
“What’s going on?”
Beatrice asked in confusion. Somehow, the terrifying pressure from their bloodline had vanished without a trace, replaced instead by a more majestic and domineering aura, like a great mountain pressing heavily upon their hearts.
Karitan was astonished to find that the surrounding environment had changed.
Many lights and shadows emerged, covering the entire sky. Scenes within them depicted the past, the present, and even the future, creating a feeling of temporal disarray.
“What is happening?”
Karitan naturally did not recognize the scenes of the future, but she was intimately familiar with the images of the present and past, immediately plunging her into stunned silence.
…
The Titan Pantheon.
“What a pity, the primordial energy blocks our vision; even we cannot see the final battle or the victor!”
The Eye of Surveillance sighed, suddenly widening its pupils, its entire eye beginning to tremble:
“This feeling…”
“You feel it too?”
Thunder Titan rumbled:
“There’s no mistake; there’s a being attempting to break through to the level of Supreme Divinity!”
He suddenly gazed towards the torrent of primordial energy on Saier Continent, as if trying to pierce through it completely.
Unfortunately, the power of the Chaos Sea thoroughly blocked his vision.
“On Saier Continent, someone dares to challenge the Supreme…”
The Eye of Surveillance’s pupils flickered with many emotions, finally settling into a trace of helplessness:
“With the cover of Chaos Sea’s primordial energy, even reaching Supreme Divinity would require a tremendous cost. Are we now to simply sit back and watch?”
Breaking through to the eighth level is no easy feat.
In the history of the main world, there have been countless brilliant or fate-blessed individuals who ascended from mortals to godhood in one step, but only a few have ever reached the level of Supreme Being—this is clear evidence!
At the same time, countless deities in the main world felt this strange fluctuation.
Most of them turned their complex gazes toward Saier Continent.
“Breaking through to… Supreme Divinity?”
In the Great Chang Empire, at the Federation headquarters.
Several elderly men with white hair gazed toward Saier Continent, their expressions quite complex:
“Never would we have thought… originally assuming it was just a minor newly arrived continent, yet it harbors so many mysteries…”
“The Chaos Sea surging, and the potential to reach Supreme Divinity…”
Another elder sighed:
“It seems our previous plans for this continent must be completely rethought and reestablished…”
“There’s no rush yet. The path to Supreme Divinity is not something that can be easily coveted?”
“If the attempt fails, annihilation is just a moment away… let’s wait and see…”
The several elders had complex expressions, their faces filled with anticipation.
…
On Saier Continent.
At the center of all the anomalies, Wu Ming stood silently within the main hall of the temple, the shadows of myriad worlds faintly visible behind him, each thread of transcendent light fully bestowed upon his form.
“Sixth-Level Immortal, connecting with the world’s primordial energy, attaining transcendence; Seventh-Level Golden Immortal, mastering the world’s authority, coexisting with heaven and earth… the fruit of the Eighth-Level Great Immortal lies in uniqueness! It is a universal position, unrestricted by time, space, or the universe…”
Wu Ming had already fully grasped the path of the Great Immortal; what he lacked was merely some resources.
The surge of primordial energy from Saier’s cosmic ascension and the opening of the Chaos Sea instantly fulfilled this final requirement.
“To break through to the Great Immortal, one must first achieve personal completeness, retrieving all manifestations, unifying everything into one, then forming a unique mark or imprint, embedding it into the River of Time to span the past, present, and future, thus nearing eternal immortality and absolute freedom across all universes…”
Around Wu Ming, many light screens emerged.
They contained his experiences in the Great Zhou world, even in other worlds—Shenguai, Fusang, Steampunk… and even his past life!
All these memories, manifestations… everything, in this moment, condensed highly, unified into the singular concept of “I” of his true self, while absorbing massive amounts of primordial energy, as if brewing something.
“Imprint… coalesce!”
At this moment, Wu Ming’s consciousness reached a sublime and focused state… transforming into a shifting, multidimensional talisman-like inscription, with dragons and serpents undulating across its surface.
This unique inscription represented the entirety of Wu Ming.
“Burn!”
With the imprint formed, the next step was to burn through all potential, strength, and primordial energy, imprinting it into the River of Time, thus attaining the position of Great Immortal, nearing eternal immortality!
At this moment, the aspirant was often at their most vulnerable.
But Wu Ming had no fear, neither looking up nor down.
The barrier of external primordial energy was his greatest protective shield.
Moreover, even if a Supreme Being attempted to break through the barrier, the main temple would still provide enough protection to allow him sufficient time to complete this final step!
“Hiss… finally, the moment we’ve been waiting for has arrived!”
However, at this very instant, a sudden change occurred!
The Infinite Serpent, sealed beneath the Origin Pool and supposedly unable to even think, suddenly roared and broke free from its seal.
The main temple’s layers of restrictions were practically non-existent to it.
“What’s going on? Main Temple! Stop it!”
Wu Ming’s mind fluctuated violently.
[Ding… Received task! Zizi… interference detected, command conflict!]
The mechanical voice of the main temple carried a hint of chaos: [Initiating identification protocol. Determining the other party holds secret authority, activating key, transferring functions…]
“What do you think now?”
The black-clothed figure transformed from the Infinite Serpent directly entered the main temple hall, passing through as if unopposed!
“I didn’t expect it either…”
The black-clothed figure transformed from the Infinite Serpent directly entered the main temple hall, passing through as if unopposed!
“I didn’t expect it either…”
Wu Ming said a strange sentence:
“Should I call you the serpent, or the original master of this temple?!”
