Translator: Fate Translation Checker: Silavin The dazzling radiance of someone ascending to the Immortal Realm was incomparable. It seemed as if Celestial Mist was floating in the sky above the Northern Dipper Star Territory, enveloping and spreading to the surroundings. It was a scene that shook any onlooker. In that place where the Heavenly Tribulation manifested, bolts of lightning descended from the heavens, striking down directly with the utmost destructive Principles. The resulting ripples, like great waves, crackled and splashed everywhere, quickly forming a sea of lightning that was both magnificent and intense. Accompanied by the fluctuations that made the True Daoists’ bodies feel as if they were about to burst, resplendent Immortal Light, which threatened to destroy this entire universe emanated from there. Vaguely, a blurry Immortal Tower floated mid-air with what seemed to be an ancient and majestic city gate appearing behind it. A vast and boundless world could be seen through a narrow gap. There were ancient Mystic Mountains standing tall and towering ancient trees at that place. Celestial Cranes emitting auspicious aura could also be seen flying freely. The scene resembled the Immortal Palace from ancient legends. At that moment, a figure dressed in dazzling white appeared in Northern Dipper Star Territory. Bathed in the sea lightning, he seemed as if he was trying to open the gate and embark onto the Immortal Path. “We can’t miss this opportunity! Charge!” All the hidden experts outside of the Resplendence Universe couldn’t sit still anymore as they watched this scene. As they roared in anger and their eyes turned red, they emanated terrifying auras from their entire bodies while Mist of Chaos spread. They currently exhibited unparalleled strength, tearing everything apart as they rushed forward. This was a terrifying fluctuation that would shake the whole Resplendence Universe. Various Great Daos collided, resulting in waves of destruction that shattered the Star Territories outside and turned them into dust. Such a sight was enough to be recorded in ancient history. Dozens of hidden experts who were once invincible and respected in certain eras, who had not displayed their former power since becoming hidden experts, were now all making a move. But now, they were determined to kill their way into where this mysterious man was trying to ascend was. All living beings outside the Resplendence Universe were shaken by this spectacle. Their emotions became turbulent as these hidden experts charged ahead. They felt they were about to witness the grandeur of becoming Immortals. They had been waiting for countless ages for this exact moment. Could it be that the era of Immortal Ascension had finally arrived, and all the hidden experts were going to ascend at this moment? “The Lord of Gods’ Ruins is about to ascend to the Immortal Realm! This is an extremely rare opportunity for us!” The hidden experts who had infiltrated the Resplendence Universe roared in unison. Although they felt a strange and peculiar fluctuation spreading when they entered this universe that was completely different from the outside world, it did not hinder their determination to become Immortals. Various terrifying Principles surged and exploded, directly attacking Northern Dipper Star Territory. The surrounding regions had long since collapsed. More than a dozen hidden experts, unprecedented in strength, took action. Naturally, no one of the same cultivation level would be able to resist them. Some even took out their Immortal Grade Artifacts and burned their own Life Forces to fully activate them. They forcefully and decisively struck the region shrouded by the sea of lightning. The world seemed to return back to chaos as Chaos Qi wafted in, resulting in the turbulence of time and space. Tao Yao stood alongside Empress Huang Yu in Gods’ Ruins. Unlike the calm Tao Yao, Empress Huang Yu’s heart was trembling with unease and worry as she watched this terrifying scene. It was too frightening. From what she understood, True Daoists were already the pinnacle of power in this universe. Only one could be born in a lifetime, as the birth of one would affect others, making it impossible for any more to be born for the next tens of thousands of years. Therefore, the number of True Daoists in Resplendence Universe was extremely limited, but each of them was, incomparably, the strongest of their era since the Era of the Great Annihilation. However, everything had changed with the arrival of this era. True Daoists from other universes descended with armies so massive others could only watch on in fear. Following that, these hidden experts once again revealed themselves. Each one of them was so powerful that they could easily crush Empress Huang Yu. Now, there were more than dozens of such figures, all converging in the Resplendence Universe. This was simply too shocking and terrifying. As a faint smile appeared on Tao Yao’s calm face. She spoke up when she sensed Empress Huang Yu’s concern, “You don’t have to worry. These people are like… fish. They have already swam right into our trap.” She couldn’t help having a certain fondness for Empress Huang Yu because she saw a glimpse of Chan Honyi in her. “They fell into our trap? What about Senior… Isn’t he about to ascend to the Immortal Realm? Why would they fall into a trap?” Empress Huang Yu still couldn’t understand. Even with her level of insight, she couldn’t tell that the catastrophic Heavenly Tribulation was a trap. [With my current strength, I would turn to dust immediately if I stepped into it. Isn’t this Heavenly Tribulation the Immortal Tribulation?] Tao Yao only lightly shook her head without a word. In fact, even she couldn’t tell what Gu Changge’s intention or next move was. She could only guess. This was blind confidence on her part. After all, he would never do anything without assurance. Almost every step he took was carefully considered and planned to ensure success. [They couldn’t wait to go in, could they?] Gu Changge, bathed in the lightning, looked at the ultimate attacks charging at him. Instead of worry, there was a small smile on his face. When the blurry Immortal Gate reappeared above his head, he could even see some vivid ancient patterns on it. Ignoring the terrifying thunderbolts that struck him while he stood in the sea of lightning, Gu Changge moved forward steadily and rhythmically. His pristine white attire remained undisturbed. Boom! The entire universe resonated with the force of the Heavenly Tribulation that seemed to pierce through the heavens and earth, reflecting the past and present, and shattering everything. “Don’t let him get close to the gate! Once he pushes it open and enters it, it will be when he ascends!” The hidden experts who came to kill him angrily roared upon witnessing this scene. They wanted to stop Gu Changge from stepping inside. At this moment, all the ultimate attacks thundered into the sea of lightning. Some directly struck Gu Changge, but only ripples spread behind him as though he was invulnerable to all. Still, the blows from the awakening Immortal Grade Artifacts were too powerful. Like a beam of light, it directly shattered the thunderbolts, causing Gu Changge to stumble, nearly losing his balance, with a trickle of blood appearing at the corner of his lips “He’s injured…” This scene immediately excited the hidden experts present, giving them hope that their opponent, the mysterious Lord of Gods’ Ruins, was not an unbeatable figure. The One-Eye Daoist was especially exhilarated. He felt an immensely strong aura of Immortal Ascension in this place. It even caused his Primordial Spirit to become more radiant. His whole body started to shine brightly, as his spiritual energy reach an unprecedented peak. Buzz! Right then, the illusory image of the Immortal Tower in the sky of the Northern Dipper Star Territory materialised once again, and even the ancient gate became tangible. Immortal Radiance permeated the surroundings, and numerous Principles began to condense. Countless soldiers and galloping horses soon appeared out of nowhere around the gate. At the same time, hundreds of thousands of ethereal figures appeared like they were ascending, covering every inch of the sky as they became heavenly soldiers and generals who obstructed Gu Changge. “Slash them!” He roared as a bronze Immortal Sword appeared in his hand, shattering lightning as he slashed forward. A horrifying sword-like beam instantly shattered those ethereal figures and even created a crack in the tightly closed gate, revealing a glimpse of the radiant and vast world inside. However, the sea of lightning became even more terrifying as a consequence. Red-coloured human-shaped Heavenly Tribulation threw themselves at Gu Changge. Among those human-shaped Heavenly Tribulations were ancient cultivators and Sword Immortals who proceeded to engage in a fierce battle with him. The numerous hidden experts naturally didn’t want to miss such a perfect opportunity. They attacked again, disregarding the backlash and the risk of invoking Heavenly Retribution. They used their most powerful techniques and launched a relentless assault on Gu Changge as they intended to seize this opportunity to wipe him out. “This is a rare opportunity! He brought this upon himself by choosing to become an Immortal at this moment.” “He has no other choice! If he misses this chance, he will likely have no hope of becoming an Immortal.” Everyone was filled with excitement at the thought of taking credit for Gu Changge efforts and schemes after they killed him. They also imagined stepping into the Immortal Gate and directly embarking on the Immortal Path. This was a brutal and fierce battle. In their eyes, the Lord of Gods’ Ruins had to contend with the solid Principles from the Immortal Gate, endure the sea of lightning, all while withstand their attacks. Even if he was powerful, it would be difficult for him to hold on until the end, as his strength would eventually be depleted. Consumed by bloodlust, everyone used their most powerful ancient techniques throughout history. In the end, several Immortal Grade Artifacts were revived once again. Immense waves of energy surged forth, rumbling and tearing through the universe before they shattered Gu Changge’s figure into pieces. The radiance of these Immortal Grade Artifact even tore through the sea of lightning and landed on the gate, causing the originally small gap to widen significantly. When the abundant Immortal Radiance permeated from the inside, all the hidden experts were so moved and excited that they rushed forward regardless of the consequences. They wanted to break open this gate, charge right into it, and get onto the Immortal Path!
