Chapter 279: Dimensional Ascension Begins!
“Chaotian Palace sealing countdown: three—two—one—”
As a grand countdown concluded, a mighty bell tolled like thunder across the sky above the Chaotian Palace, vibrating the heartstrings of every person present.
Inside the Chaotian Palace, the disciples had long since been unable to hold back and were rushing out of the realm.
They had been placed under restriction long ago. Today, something momentous would happen in the Chaotian Palace. Unrelated personnel were not permitted to linger.
And now, only solemnity and tension pervaded the great hall.
Lu Qingyang sat in the seat of honor, his expression grave.
His gaze was locked tightly on the hundreds of strands of Heavenly Dao Essence floating before him.
Their brilliant radiance flickered, as though containing endless secrets and power.
In this silent atmosphere, Lu Qingyang’s heart was churning with waves.
His fingers trembled slightly, suppressing unease.
He knew what these Heavenly Dao Essence meant. They were not merely a symbol of power, but concerned his future!
“Jiangxin, are you ready?”
He asked, his voice carrying a trace of hesitation, yet unshakably resolute.
Lu Qingyang’s gaze gradually calmed as he looked at the Heavenly Dao Essence.
These things were obtained through immense hardship in the Simulation.
“Jiangxin, these Heavenly Dao Essence should be enough for your World Ascension.”
“Are you ready?”
Jiangxin manifested its Rubik’s Cube true form.
Nowadays, it actually seldom manifested its true form anymore.
As the will of the Heavenly Dao, Jiangxin could appear anywhere at any time, in any form.
But only before Lu Qingyang did it dare not change form at will. Every time, it appeared in the form Lu Qingyang had personally refined it into.
And hearing Lu Qingyang’s question, Jiangxin immediately answered respectfully, “Please rest assured, Master. So many essence are enough for me to complete the World Ascension!”
Lu Qingyang nodded slowly.
Then he raised his left arm and spread his palm open.
“Boom!”
As Lu Qingyang drew a deep breath, his palm gradually extended forward.
Spiritual power surged through his entire body like a tide.
In an instant, it filled the air of the entire great hall.
That fluctuation of power seemed to possess life as it surged out from within him, stirring up faint gusts of wind, like a whispering giant beast growling low.
At this moment, every cell in his body resonated.
He felt that endless energy from the Heavenly Dao Essence.
Within the great hall, the quiet atmosphere was broken.
The hundreds of strands of Heavenly Dao Essence, as though summoned, flew toward his palm one by one along seemingly invisible threads.
Their radiance flickered, like the brilliance of stars in the night sky.
Carrying billions of possibilities and hopes.
Lu Qingyang’s heartbeat accelerated. He felt an unprecedented excitement and tension.
Come!
He murmured to himself, eyes narrowing slightly. Powerful spiritual power swirled around him, as though it would tear this space apart.
When he pressed his five fingers together and clenched hard.
The entire great hall was instantly swept up by a terrifying energy.
With a “boom,” all the Heavenly Dao Essence shattered like exploding fireworks.
In an instant, they burst apart, transforming into a sky full of starlight that scattered in all directions.
That brilliant starlight flowed through the air, flickering with a mysterious glow.
Like a dream, like a fantasy, like countless luminous tears falling into his palm.
And at the very moment this power was released.
Jiangxin’s body also began a world-shaking transformation.
Its originally palm-sized form suddenly expanded.
As though nurtured by a massive force, it grew to tens of meters tall in an instant.
Like an enormous sculpture rising before him.
The surrounding air seemed compressed and distorted, emitting a low rumbling sound that made one’s heart tighten.
This is the aura of the Heavenly Dao’s descent…
Lu Qingyang’s heart shook.
Around Jiangxin, endless starlight flickered.
As though draping it in a layer of mysterious radiance.
That mysterious and powerful aura was astonishing, carrying an invisible majesty.
As if telling everyone that this was the true power of the Heavenly Dao.
And Jiangxin’s transformation had not yet stopped.
Its body, at this moment, transformed into the shape of a magnificent palace.
Towering and majestic, as though it would tear the heavens apart.
That boundless momentum made even the stone pillars of the great hall tremble, emitting low rings.
Endless starlight flowed ceaselessly around it.
As though alive, dancing along with it.
Radiating irresistible power, impossible to look upon directly.
“Boom!”
At this moment, the sky itself seemed shaken by this power, letting out a tremendous crash.
As if heaven and earth were responding.
“Boom!”
The firmament trembled as that illusory palace burst through the Chaotian great hall.
At the same time, a phantom of a great sun slowly rose from behind the palace.
Endless light shrouded this palace and the great sun.
Making it look like an ancient divine palace — majestic, vast.
“Whoosh!”
Wind and clouds raged.
A massive amount of heaven and earth spiritual power converged, pouring into Jiangxin’s Heavenly Dao Body.
In just one breath, this Heavenly Dao Palace expanded to nearly a thousand meters tall.
“Boom!”
Thunder rolled.
Above the ninth heaven, a human-shaped figure in blue robes slowly stood before that palace and great sun.
At this point, Jiangxin’s Heavenly Dao Body had fully manifested!
And its Heavenly Dao Body was actually identical to the Chaotian Sect’s standard!
“Boom!”
As Jiangxin’s Heavenly Dao Body fully manifested.
The starlight transformed from the endless Heavenly Dao Essence was absorbed and devoured by that great sun palace phantom.
“Hum!”
After devouring a massive amount of Heavenly Dao Essence, it bloomed with resplendent light.
At the same time, an incomparably majestic heavenly might descended in an instant.
This heavenly might was so terrifying it even surpassed heavenly tribulation!
“Great Thousand Heavenly Dao Body?”
Lu Qingyang’s eyes flickered with astonishment.
He had learned a thing or two about Heavenly Dao World Ascension in the Simulation.
For a Middle Thousand World to ascend to a Great Thousand World, the main requirement was to first achieve the Great Thousand Heavenly Dao.
Once the Great Thousand Heavenly Dao was complete, the power of heaven and earth would surge.
At that point, there would be hope for a successful World Ascension!
But this alone is probably not enough…
Lu Qingyang narrowed his eyes slightly. For a Middle Thousand World to ascend to a Great Thousand, the most critical step was actually the most inconspicuous — mortals!
And as Jiangxin’s Heavenly Dao Body was about to finish condensing completely.
“Hum!”
The atmosphere above the firmament suddenly turned tense and oppressive.
The sky seemed torn by an invisible force, turning dim and bleak.
The surrounding air was filled with a suffocating heaviness.
At this moment, a tremendous crash came from the horizon.
Like thunder exploding, it shook the entire Chaotian Realm.
In an instant, all eyes were drawn to that increasingly resplendent light.
That immortal-white radiance, like the hand of an ancient god from beyond the heavens.
Slowly spread out from the surface of Jiangxin’s Divine Palace.
Like a meteor streaking across the night sky, dazzling and mysterious.
Wave after wave of light surged outward, rushing across the entire Chaotian Realm like a tide.
Carrying endless spiritual power and dignity, as though proclaiming the arrival of something great.
Countless cultivators and mortals were shaken by this sudden radiance, raising their heads one after another.
Their eyes filled with shock and awe.
They felt a pressure they had never experienced before.
As though gripped tightly by an invisible giant hand.
Even their heartbeats stopped in that instant.
