180: Chapter 180 Having achieved initial mastery of the Void Refinement stage, seeking the path ahead, breaking through boundaries and ascending to the Spirit Realm.

The Demon Emperors Mausoleum had turned into ruins, and the last wisp of Luck of the Heavenly Demon Imperial Court had dissipated along with it.

Ye Qing stood before those collapsed ruins, feeling the surging and roaring power of the Void Refinement Realm within his body, as well as the earth-shaking changes in his Cave Heaven World, yet there was not much joy in his heart; instead, a faint sense of bewilderment arose.

The Void Refinement Realm was already a legendary Realm in the Mortal Realm, worthy of being called invincible.

But he knew clearly that this world was not the end of cultivation.

Above the Nine Heavens, within that even more vast Star Domain, there must exist even more powerful beings and even more profound Realms.

He needed a broader stage to continue his path of seeking the Dao.

And Ascension to the Spirit Realm was his only choice at the moment.

Regarding the Spirit Realm, he already had some understanding from the Legacy memories of the Heavenly Demon Emperor and the fragmented information contained within the ancient dragon vein.

It was a world far more vast, more splendid, and also more cruel than the Mortal Realm.

There, Soul Transformation Cultivators were as common as dogs, Void Refining Cultivators walked everywhere, and only those who had reached the Dao Integration Realm could strut about.

A Cultivator at the Lianxu Initial Stage like him would likely only be considered lower-middle class in the Spirit Realm.

But he felt no fear; instead, he was filled with anticipation.

Only in such a world could he find the motivation and opportunity to continue his Breakthrough.

Ascension to the Spirit Realm was no easy task.

The Law of the Mortal Realm had an extremely strong repulsive force against power above the Void Refinement Realm.

Forcibly breaking through the spatial barrier required not only extremely powerful strength but also the endurance of the impact of spatial turbulence; a slight carelessness could lead to being lost in the endless Void Realm or even being strangled by spatial power.

Ye Qing was not in a rush for success.

He first spent several months thoroughly consolidating his own Lianxu Initial Stage cultivation and re-refined the chaos sword to keep up with the growth of his cultivation.

At the same time, within the Cave Heaven World, he utilized the remaining essence of the ancient dragon vein, as well as the corpse of the Heavenly Demon Emperor and the Heaven-Devouring Sword, to forge a few trump cards for self-preservation.

After doing all this, he came to the depths of a desolate, uninhabited ancient mountain range, found a spot where the spatial node was weakest, and began to prepare for the boundary-breaking Ascension.

He sat cross-legged in the Void Realm, circulating his Chaos Infant Essence to the extreme, communicating with the power of the twenty-million-zhang world of the Cave Heaven World, and poured it all into the chaos sword.

The chaos sword seemed unable to bear this terrifying power, starting to tremble violently and emitting a buzzing sword hum.

On the blade, the Chaos-colored light was brilliant to the extreme, as if a Chaos-colored sun had risen in his hand.

"Chaos, break the boundary!"

He gripped the sword with both hands, facing the void space before him, and with all his might, slashed down with one strike!

"Chi-la—!"

A terrifying sound, as if the entire world were being torn apart, resounded through the sky!

A Chaos-colored sword qi, condensed to the extreme and appearing capable of severing Karma and destroying all Law, flew from the sword and struck fiercely upon the Void Realm before him!

The Void Realm, like a lake into which a giant stone had been thrown, began to twist and ripple violently!

Streaks of pitch-black spatial cracks, like a spider web, spread crazily in all directions with the point of the sword qi's impact as the center!

Finally, with a crisp sound like shattering glass, that Void Realm was forcibly torn open, creating an irregular, pitch-black rift several zhang high and about a zhang wide!

Inside the rift, it was all Chaos; no scene could be seen, only waves of violent spatial turbulence that seemed capable of tearing everything apart surged out from the rift like a tide!

"The Spirit Realm passage... is open!"

A sharp light flashed in Ye Qing's eyes.

Without a moment's hesitation, his figure flickered, turning into a stream of light as he threw himself into that pitch-black spatial rift!

The moment his figure disappeared into the rift, the spatial rift he had forcibly torn open began to heal rapidly, as if it had never appeared.

As for Ye Qing, he felt as if he had entered a violent, endless tunnel of space-time.

All around was endless darkness and chaotic spatial power.

The violent spatial turbulence, like countless invisible sharp blades, crazily sliced at his protective divine light, attempting to tear him into pieces!

He kept his mind clear, circulating his Chaos Infant Essence to the extreme, forming a solid layer of protective halo on his body surface to resist the erosion of the violent spatial turbulence.

At the same time, he gripped the chaos sword tightly, extending his Divine Sense into the darkness ahead, searching for the coordinates of the Spirit Realm.

He did not know how much time had passed; it felt like an instant, yet also like a long period of several hundred years.

Ahead, a point of light finally appeared.

That light grew brighter and closer, and finally, it turned into a huge exit that seemed to be condensed from seven-colored light!

Ye Qing was overjoyed; he spurred his escape speed to the extreme and charged toward the exit with all his might!

"Hum—!"

He only felt a flash of seven-colored light before his eyes, his body seeming to pass through a thin film of water, and then, his feet landed on solid ground.

He slowly opened his eyes.

What came into view was a completely unfamiliar yet vibrant scene.

The sky was a pure azure blue like a sapphire, with three suns of different colors hanging in it, shedding warm and bright light.

Beneath his feet was soft grassland covered with a thick layer of unknown purple wild grass, and the air was filled with Spiritual Qi that was so dense it could almost not be dispersed, along with the fragrance of various flowers and plants.

In the distance were rolling, more majestic and magnificent green mountains, with clouds and mist swirling between the mountains, and some huge, strangely shaped flying beasts could be vaguely seen soaring in the clouds.

The concentration of Spiritual Qi here was at least dozens of times denser than in the Mortal Realm!

Moreover, the air was also permeated with an even more Advanced and pure aura of Law!

"Is this... the Spirit Realm?"

Ye Qing took a deep breath, feeling the aura that was completely different from the Mortal Realm, and a smile appeared on his face.

He had finally arrived in this broader world.

His legend would continue to be written in the Spirit Realm.
