The reappearance of the talent skill 'Gilding' had indeed surprised Ye Yun. It had only been ten days since the last use of Gilding, meaning that in just over ten days, Ye Yun and Black Ant had managed to clear a full twenty thousand years of cooldown!
It had to be said that since Black Ant acquired its area-of-effect skill, it had become a mobile turret in Tian Wai Tian. Based on the fluctuations of Black Ant's life force, the damage from a Level Three deity had already dropped below a hundred thousand! For Black Ant's current life force, measured in 'gai', this was almost negligible.
Most importantly, with Black Ant's area-of-effect skill and its passive skill 'Bloodlust', even when facing a group of Level Four or even Level Five deities, its health would not drop below half.
Ye Yun did not dwell on it too much. He once again converted a fragment of law into a Dao fruit. This brought Ye Yun's accumulated Dao fruits to two. He planned to begin comprehending the Law of Time after reaching Level 100, aiming to fully integrate it into his Dao.
"Today is a good day..."
Ye Yun sat on the back of the Golden Crow, humming a tune, and looked down at the jungle below with a smile.
The Law of Time, in the Ten Directions Heaven and Earth, he had never heard of any great being comprehending this law to the peak of mastery. But now? With the emergence of his two Dao fruits, the Law of Time would surely reach Great Perfection, and there was a high probability of it evolving from a law into a Minor Dao.
If Black Ant could be even more formidable, then before Ding Yi's delivery, he might be able to integrate both the Law of Time and the Law of Life into his Dao. With all three of the most powerful laws in the Ten Directions Heaven and Earth integrated into his Dao, how many people in the middle and lower worlds of the Thirty-Three Heavens could achieve this?
Lost in endless reverie, Ye Yun was unaware that at the bottom of the boundless Spiritual Sea in the First Star Domain, a terrifying current erupted from a giant basin thousands of meters deep, stirring up clouds of turbidity.
*Brumm...*
The sound permeated the entire planet, raising colossal waves on the Spiritual Sea that crashed outwards. In the sky, countless dark clouds converged, forming an ocean of clouds that loomed over the entire Spiritual Sea. Streaks of lightning emanated from within, creating a scene akin to the end of the world.
*Swish...*
Two figures appeared in the sky above the Spiritual Sea. One, a middle-aged man, cast his divine sense like a vast net, frantically probing the surroundings, while the other, a young girl, constantly scanned within the dark clouds.
"Father, how is it?"
As Quasi-Emperors of the Fu Tian Empire, Yao Die and Mu Tian arrived almost simultaneously.
"There was a fluctuation from the seabed. The anomaly in the entire Spiritual Sea was caused by this irregular fluctuation," Mu Tian's expression was grim, his divine sense relentlessly traversing the Spiritual Sea.
As the base camp of the Mu Wu Clan, the First Planet was meticulously surveyed by Mu Tian's divine sense across every inch of its land upon their arrival. Neither Mu Tian nor Yao Die would allow anything beyond their control to exist.
Yet, in just ten million years, such an incident had occurred.
*Roar...*
Suddenly, a beastly roar echoed from within the dark clouds in the sky. The deafening sound directly dispelled them, revealing the true forms of colossal thunder dragons stretching for miles.
"This... this is a Thunder Tribulation?! Father, quickly retreat, someone is undergoing a tribulation to become a Quasi-Emperor here!!" Yao Die's divine sense swept over the true forms of the thunder dragons, and her expression drastically changed. As a powerful cultivator who had reached the Quasi-Emperor realm, Yao Die clearly felt the terrifying energy contained within the thunder dragons. If they did not withdraw immediately, both of them would be dragged into the tribulation, making escape difficult.
The Tribulation of the Ultimate Position and the Quasi-Emperor Tribulation were both Ascension Tribulations, typically triggered by those at the peak of the Ultimate Position or Quasi-Emperors drawing upon the power of heaven and earth. However, cultivators at the peak of the Ultimate Position would not easily trigger an ascension tribulation unless their lifespan was nearing its end, and it was the same for Quasi-Emperors, only doing so when their strength had reached a point where heaven and earth could no longer contain them.
Ascension Tribulation!!!
Yao Die was relatively fine, but for Mu Tian, a powerful cultivator already on the verge, he would be doomed as soon as the tribulation's domain was established, even before the thunder tribulation fully formed. Therefore, the moment Yao Die finished speaking, Mu Tian retreated thousands of miles beyond the Spiritual Sea.
"How can someone be undergoing a Quasi-Emperor Tribulation in the Spiritual Sea?!" Mu Tian was somewhat beside himself. He had resided on the First Planet for tens of millions of years, and his divine sense had probed the entire Spiritual Sea countless times without detecting any signs of life. Yet, the thunder tribulation in the sky undeniably indicated that there was life in the area he had just been in, and not just one!
At this moment, the anomaly in the Spiritual Sea had attracted all the powerful cultivators at the Ultimate Position on the planet. As the pressure of the heavenly tribulation in the sky grew stronger, it slowly diffused throughout the entire star domain.
"Your Majesty, what is happening?"
One by one, powerful cultivators at the Ultimate Position saw Yao Die and Mu Tian approaching and paid their respects, simultaneously asking in confusion.
"Send out the word. All Monarch Realm cultivators in the First Star Domain are to come and monitor the Spiritual Sea!" Mu Tian had no interest in their questions. He had a very bad premonition. He did not have much time left in this Ten Directions Heaven and Earth. If any accident forced him to act, he feared his own ascension tribulation would appear soon.
The reason he had not yet undergone his tribulation was to personally witness his daughter embark on the path to Emperor. To him, the entire Mu Wu Clan meant little; his only concern was his daughter, Yao Die.
Mu Tian's heart was conflicted. On one hand, he cared deeply for his daughter; on the other, he held a degree of caution and fear towards her.
*Brumm...*
Suddenly, the heavens and earth trembled again. Mu Tian and Yao Die's divine senses detected the sudden appearance of countless Dao texts within the Spiritual Sea basin, emitting a dazzling golden light that illuminated the originally dark seabed. The turbid spiritual water instantly became clear as these Dao texts appeared.
The Dao texts rotated, like giant dragons churning in the depths. A massive vortex formed on the sea surface, and a bolt of lightning descended from the sky, reaching directly to the seabed.
"The Dao that can be spoken of is not the eternal Dao. The name that can be named is not the eternal name..."
Passages resembling Buddhist chants erupted from the vortex. In the divine senses of countless powerful beings, a fist-sized conch shell at the seabed suddenly emitted a halo. The entire conch shell slowly floated up from the seabed, growing larger with every inch it ascended. By the time it broke the surface, the conch shell was already over ten thousand meters in size.
This is... the Dao Heaven Sect!
The reclusive Great Sect, the Dao Heaven Sect, has emerged!!!
Mu Tian's expression changed drastically as he looked at the endless Dao texts.
