Chapter 642: Chapter 642 – Heavenly Catastrophe
Mighty bolts of lightning continued to strike bit by bit. The magic formation surrounding the secret realm also seemed unable to withstand this power and was on the verge of collapsing at any moment. This Heavenly Venerate was too terrifying.
The cultivator’s Heavenly Catastrophe combined with the weapon spirit’s Armed Catastrophe and erupted simultaneously. The power was not as simple as an ordinary addition but had a more profound reaction and became even more terrifying. The aftermath of the lightning catastrophe had caused the entire secret realm to tremble and boil even without being physically there.
The Gen Qi in the surroundings surged and erupted and was then absorbed directly by the boiling ancient sword. The scene of the outside world was mighty, looking terrifying.
However, Bai An did not feel uncomfortable being in it and seemed very relaxed. His aura rapidly increased after merging with the ancient sword and borrowing its power and had already sunk into a deeper state of enlightenment.
The lightning around him was still raging, and the Gen Qi surged. This kind of scene that seemed normal to ordinary people had a more profound meaning in Bai An’s eye.
The mystery of the laws of heaven and earth was entangled in his body, allowing him to gain enlightenment vaguely. Then, he suppressed it with one hand.
Bang!
The raging lightning before Bai An was immediately suppressed and destroyed by a giant hand before it finally collapsed. He did not use any divine abilities or secret techniques throughout this process but only suppressed them instinctively, producing such an effect.
Surging divine power boiled and circulated along a unique trajectory in his body. If one looked carefully, one would discover that countless runes were swirling around Bai An’s body. Those runes were the essence formed by the coherence of numerous laws of heaven and earth and the Dao Principles that Bai An had personally comprehended.
These Dao Principles were cohered in Bai An’s body in the past. However, they had spontaneously emerged and began to sublimate under this unique environment now.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Waves of loud noise sounded, like the clanging of a war drum or the resounding of thunder, so intense that it caused one’s heart to palpitate.
If one were to observe carefully, one would realize that the source of this sound was not any other place but within Bai An’s body. His body was glowing, and a crimson pillar of blood aura sour to the sky, transforming into a Blood Dragon roaring toward the sky.
“That’s...” The shocking change before them astounded everyone present.
Their expressions slightly changed when they noticed the abnormal change in Bai An’s body, then their expressions turned joyful, “The blood aura is cohering into a form of dragon...”
“His physical body has already taken the lead in breaking through and has reached that level.” Everyone present was a powerhouse, and many were on par with Bai An’s current level. Besides, many had explored the Heavenly Venerate’s domain and were very familiar with its characteristics.
Therefore, they immediately noticed the dense and subtle textures appearing on Bai An’s body. There weren’t many at first, but they grew larger and directly covered his entire body as time went on. These were Dao patterns, and they were also the coherence of Bai An’s Dao principles.
Bai An’s body had begun to transform and completed his advancement under the effects of the lightning catastrophe and the ancient sword. He could be said to be a half-step Heavenly Venerate now and would immediately turn into a complete Heavenly Venerate as long as his divine spirit could keep up.
Halfway through the lightning catastrophe, it was already halfway done at this stage. Everyone present could not help but feel excited as they thought of this, and their eyes became fiery as they looked at Bai An’s figure before them.
After nearly ten thousand years, a Heavenly Venerate figure was about to be born within the Eternal Dynasty. Excluding some powerhouses hidden in the secret realm and devoted themselves to cultivation, there was never a Heavenly Venerate figure who appeared in the cultivation world of Zhongzhou.
Based on the current records, the most recent Heavenly Venerate in the history of Zhongzhou was born more than ten thousand years ago and had left Zhongzhou long ago, left for other great regions without a trace.
If Bai An could successfully advance, he would be the first Heavenly Venerate to advance in Zhongzhou within the past ten thousand years successfully.
A Heavenly Venerate’s rank was equivalent to an Earth Heavenly Weapon. Not many people could rival him in this era when Heavenly Venerates were almost extinct. With such strength, coupled with the unfathomable ancient sword in his hand, it was a dream in today’s cultivation world.
No one could match him as long as the quiet old monsters did not appear. And such a figure would be able to lead the Eternal Dynasty to the next level and reach its peak. Everyone present could not help but feel excited just thinking of this, and many thoughts flashed through their minds.
The lightning catastrophe before them was about to end at this moment. In the lightning catastrophe, many Earth Heavenly Weapons’ virtual shadows kept appearing and disappearing as they rushed towards Bai An’s body, leaving only clear marks on his body but couldn’t do anything further.
The power of the ancient sword was too mighty. It took a step further and directly isolated all external damage when combined with Bai An’s power. It was like the interweaving of the Armed and Heavenly Catastrophe, evolving into an even more powerful catastrophe.
The merger of Bai An and the ancient sword could also produce an even more mighty power that was not inferior to the catastrophe before him.
Bai An’s physical transformation ended before he charged forward into the lightning that filled the sky. He absorbed the natural creation and Gen Qi in the lightning to complete himself and cohere a brand new Heavenly Venerable body.
The world’s purest Power of Origin was within the lightning, which was an incomparable natural creation. This was true for ordinary lightning, but it was even more so for the terrifying and powerful lightning before him.
Bai An carried the ancient sword and bathed in the lightning for half a month before finally stopping. Before him, the rolling lightning gradually dissipated as time passed. The dark clouds that shrouded the secret realm for half a month dissipated, revealing their original appearance.
Bai An’s entire body was glowing amid the lightning. He was bathed in golden light after the lightning catastrophe was over. Aura of the Laws of the Great Dao was all over his body. It was a terrifying aura, and one couldn’t imagine how powerful it was.
The mighty powerhouses in the area gasped in admiration as they sensed the aura.
“The lightning catastrophe has passed. He has completed his advancement and became the first Heavenly Venerable in nearly ten thousand years.”
“His physique is so powerful. He has merged with the ancient sword and reached a whole new level.”
The powerhouses around were amazed and envious of Bai An’s current state, “Even though Ancestor Bai has just advanced, his prowess is not inferior to that of a higher level Heavenly Venerate with the ancient sword. Not many people in the entire cultivation world can match his prowess.”
“If the old monsters of the past don’t appear in the world, no one in the world can be his match.”
“That’s true.”
They exclaimed in surprise, feeling incredulous about Bai An’s current condition.
In the cultivation world of Zhongzhou, there hadn’t been a newly advanced Heavenly Venerate in nearly ten thousand years. Bai An had undoubtedly broken this outcome at this moment, becoming the only Heavenly Venerate who had successfully advanced in almost ten thousand years.
He could be invincible, taking into account the ancient sword in his hand. Of course, this had to exclude the old monsters that were hiding.
Heavenly Venerate figures were on the ceiling, although there were probably Heavenly Venerates hiding among various hereditary forces. After all, Heavenly Venerates had very long lifespans where one could not see the end of their lifespan.
More than one Heavenly Venerate figure had been sealed and hidden in the surroundings in its long history. These Heavenly Venerate existences were usually sealed across various holy lands and nourished themselves using the natural creations. They still existed, though they would not appear unless it were a significant event.
With Bai An’s current strength, there was still some disparity between him and being invincible. However, even if he was not invincible, it was good enough. Since those old monsters had sealed themselves, they would not appear so easily.
As long as Bai An did not go overboard and did not casually slaughter the holy land legacies, these old monsters basically would not care, and he could do whatever he wanted.
Everyone’s mood changed, and they could not help but become agitated thinking of this. The glorious era that belonged to the Eternal Dynasty would arrive in the following long period if nothing unexpected happened, which was what everyone present wanted to see.
Bai An stood alone in the sky. The runes that filled the sky cohered on his body, fusing and transforming his flesh, blood, and soul, allowing his body to advance and reach a higher level.
After transcending the lightning catastrophe, his body and divine spirit underwent a qualitative change by absorbing the natural creation from the lightning, saving a large amount of hard work within one leap.
Initially, if Bai An had cultivated it by himself, he could only achieve this effect after at least several thousand years. However, now, it was completed with just a lightning catastrophe.
The Heavenly Catastrophe was both a disaster and a natural creation. Bai An had a deeper understanding of this saying and felt it carefully for a moment.
He thoroughly felt for a moment. The power in his body grew again after transcending the lightning catastrophe. His body and true spirit had transformed, and he was now standing at the Heavenly Venerate level. It was a powerful feeling.
The Profound Meanings of Law circulated and gradually merged with his body. Bai An had an inexplicable feeling as his body transformed. Some things that could only be done by using Dao techniques in the past were now easily done.
After reaching this level, the laws merged with the body’s true spirit, and some operations had become instinctive, just like how humans could breathe and fish could swim.
Thus, he waved his hand. The void before him collapsed, revealing the void behind it. Pieces of debris swirled around. If each piece were put into the outside world, it would be enough to destroy an entire continent.
And with Bai An’s thoughts, these pieces of debris circulated in his hand and finally cohered.
