131: Chapter 131 Ascension is Death

Upper Realm, beyond the Nine Heavens, ruins of the Reception Heavenly Gate.

"Who blew up this gate just now?"

"The G-force was not bad. How many heads are you planning to use to pay for this ride?"

Lin Que's lazy yet incredibly arrogant voice drifted slowly over the dead-silent ruins.

Hundreds of thousands of Upper Realm Immortal soldiers, clad in golden armor, looked at the youth from the Lower Realm who was stepping on the corpses of their comrades. His white clothes were immaculate, and even their breathing seemed to have stalled.

Forcibly smashing through the cross-boundary channel?

Surviving the spatial collapse?

Are these still the Mortals from the Lower Realm they knew, who could only be harvested like pigs and sheep?!

But after a brief silence.

"Heh... Hahahaha!"

From the rear of the Heavenly Gate ruins, the three commanders, radiating the terrifying pressure of the Void Returning Realm (True Immortal), suddenly let out extremely disdainful cold laughs.

"This general admits that you, an ant from the Lower Realm, are indeed an anomaly. To actually be able to use the thrust of the spatial storm to forcibly smash open the Reception Heavenly Gate."

The leading Red-Bearded True Immortal had a look of condescending pity in his eyes:

"But your biggest stupidity is actually bringing your group of remnants into this place beyond the Nine Heavens!"

The Red-Bearded True Immortal even put away the Magic Treasure in his hand, crossed his arms, and looked at Lin Que and that huge warship as if looking at dead people.

"Don't you realize that your doomsday has already arrived?"

As his words fell.

A series of painful groans suddenly came from the Nine Dragon flagship behind Lin Que!

"Pfft—!" Chen Family Old Ancestor and the other thirty-six Nascent Soul Perfection powerhouses all spat out a mouthful of blood, their knees softened, and they knelt directly on the deck!

And those one hundred thousand Dragon Cavalry, who had been soaring with Evil Qi just a moment ago, were now pressed tightly to the ground by an invisible, terrifying pressure, their bones emitting unbearable "creaking" sounds.

"Master... This... This air is poisonous..."

Su Qingyu's face was deathly pale. She frantically circulated her Innate Dao Body, but was horrified to discover that what she was inhaling into her body was not Spiritual Qi, but a kind of cold energy that was extremely heavy, domineering, and seemed to want to completely assimilate her True Qi!

"Noticed it? Too late!"

The Red-Bearded True Immortal looked up and laughed:

"This is the Upper Realm! What fills this air is the **Nine Heavens Immortal Spiritual Qi** that only those in the Void Returning Realm True Immortal stage can refine! Its density and Law gravity are thousands, tens of thousands of times that of the Spiritual Qi in your Lower Realm!"

"Once a Mortal from the Lower Realm inhales it, even if they are in the Soul Transformation Stage, the Meridians in their body will instantly be burst by this high-dimensional energy! This is the insurmountable chasm between Immortals and Mortals!"

"In less than ten breaths, the one hundred thousand people you brought, along with these low-class Yao Beasts, will all turn into a puddle of meat under this Immortal Spiritual Pressure!

This is the price for defying the Upper Realm!"

The three True Immortals looked at the Lower Realm army struggling on the deck, their eyes filled with cruel satisfaction. They didn't even need to make a move; the natural environment of the Upper Realm was the perfect slaughterhouse for strangling intruders from the Lower Realm!

However.

Lin Que stood in the center of the ruins.

Facing this "Immortal Spiritual Pressure" capable of crushing a Soul Transformation old monster into a meat patty, his straight spine didn't bend even a millimeter.

He took a deep breath of the Immortal Qi that was so dense it had almost turned into white mist.

"Thousands, tens of thousands of times the density of the Lower Realm?"

Lin Que didn't show a painful expression; instead, he closed his eyes in extreme enjoyment. "So this is Immortal Qi."

"Old Chen, Qingyu, stop holding your breath. Just let go and inhale it all."

Lin Que's voice wasn't loud, but wrapped in his powerful True Qi, it clearly spread throughout the entire fleet.

"Master?! If this Qi is inhaled into the body, the Meridians will burst!!"

Chen Family Old Ancestor shouted in despair.

"With me here, they won't burst."

Lin Que slowly opened his eyes, and two groups of extremely greedy purple-gold flames erupted from his heterochromatic pupils!

In his mind, he expertly rang the System's alarm.

"System. These Immortals are inviting us to inhale pure oxygen, give me a full-army medical insurance package!"

[Warning! Detected extremely high-density high-dimensional energy (Nine Heavens Immortal Spiritual Qi) and World Law pressure!]

[Analysis: This environment has a lethal 'True Qi assimilation' and 'Physical Body crushing' effect on Lower Realm creatures!]

[Logic reorganization activated — 'Supreme Hyperbaric Oxygen Chamber and Full-Army Meridian Expansion' mode!]

[Operation 1: Intercept assimilation Laws! Forcibly tamper with the 'lethal-grade Immortal Qi pressure' and change it to 'high-frequency Spiritual Pressure massage'!]

[Operation 2: Filter and strip! Use the host's inner heaven and earth to strip away the Upper Realm Heavenly Dao brand from the Immortal Qi, converting it into 'non-attribute pure high-energy experience packs'!]

[Operation 3: Establish a full-army oxygen supply pipeline! Using the host as a super transformer, precisely feed the depressurized pure Immortal Qi into the bodies of the one hundred thousand-strong army!]

"Inhale one breath to refresh the mind, inhale two breaths to achieve immortality! Full army charging, start!"

Rumble—!!!

The moment the System reversed the logic! Inside Lin Que's body, that **inner heaven and earth**, which spanned ten thousand miles, emitted an extremely excited roar!

That hundred-zhang-tall World Tree, with its four Law leaves dancing wildly, directly opened up a massive vortex invisible to the naked eye in the Void Realm of the Upper Realm!

The Nine Heavens Immortal Spiritual Qi from a radius of several thousand miles, which was originally a crushing pressure, now seemed like a flood that had found an outlet, frantically pouring into Lin Que's body!

"Gurgle..."

In the eyes of the three True Immortals and hundreds of thousands of Immortal soldiers, who looked as if they had seen a ghost.

The white-clothed youth was not only not burst by the Immortal Qi, but instead, like a bottomless pit, was whale-swallowing their most precious cultivation resources in the Upper Realm!

"Uh ah—Refreshing!"

Lin Que's **Blood Scripture** was operating at its Peak ever!

This was Immortal Qi! High-dimensional energy a hundred times purer than the Immortal's severed leg and the Demon God Blood Pool he had refined before!

His **Great Accomplishment Demon God Body** (weighing twenty million catties), under the frantic scouring of this Immortal Qi, had every cell undergoing a cross-dimensional transformation.

The purple-gold magic patterns began to fade, replaced by a Supreme precious luster that returned to simplicity and emitted a faint Chaos glow!

It wasn't just him.

As Lin Que's "super transformer" role took effect, the pure Immortal Qi that had been depressurized and filtered turned into a brilliant Spiritual rain, sprinkling down on the fleet behind him.

"This... is this?!"

The one hundred thousand-strong army, who had been lying on the ground waiting for death, suddenly felt that the deadly pressure disappear.

Replacing it was an extremely gentle, yet terrifyingly vast Spiritual power that poured directly into their Golden Cores and Nascent Souls!

"Crack! Crack!"

Continuous sounds of Breakthroughs exploded on the fleet!

The Nascent Soul Perfection barriers of the thirty-six Old Ancestors, which had been stagnant for a hundred years, were instantly covered in cracks under the impact of this Immortal Qi!

The overall cultivation of the one hundred thousand Golden Core Dragon Cavalry rose by another notch! The Yao Beasts beneath them even let out comfortable roars, their Yao blood transforming into that of Immortal Beasts!

Lin Que was actually using the Upper Realm's environment to train and cleanse his own army right in front of the Upper Realm's army!

"This is impossible!! Not only is he not afraid of Immortal Qi assimilation, but he is also devouring the Origin of our Realm?!?"

The Red-Bearded True Immortal felt the rapidly thinning Immortal Qi in the surroundings, and his eyes were about to pop out.

This was from the Lower Realm? This was simply a devouring giant beast even more vicious than an ancient Taotie!

"Can't let him keep absorbing! Form a formation! Execute this wretch!!"

The three Void Returning Realm True Immortals finally panicked.

They felt an unprecedented life-and-death crisis!

The three of them roared simultaneously and sacrificed their respective **True Immortal Dharma Forms**!

Three golden phantoms, ten thousand zhang tall and wrapped in True Immortal Laws, rose from the ground above the Nine Heavens. Each held an Immortal weapon and, with the power to destroy the heavens and earth, fiercely suppressed toward the top of Lin Que's head!

"Void Returning Realm True Immortal?"

Facing the siege of the three ten-thousand-zhang Dharma Forms.

Lin Que took one last deep breath of Immortal Qi.

Hum—!!!

Inside his Dantian, that **inner heaven and earth** of ten thousand miles, after swallowing a massive amount of Immortal Qi, expanded its territory again!

Twenty thousand miles... thirty thousand miles... fifty thousand miles!!

The World Tree rose from the ground, growing into a towering giant tree that pierced the clouds!

[Ding! Congratulations to the host! Absorbed massive amount of Nine Heavens Immortal Qi Origin!]

[inner heaven and earth expanded to 'Fifty Thousand Mile World'! Foundation underwent a second qualitative change!]

[Current Realm Breakthrough: inner heaven and earth · Middle Spirit Transformation stage!!]

[Combat power rating: One's self is the Heavenly Dao, can cross-level hard-shake Void Returning Realm True Immortal without being defeated!]

"Hoo—"

Lin Que slowly opened his eyes and spat out a visible stream of Chaos Qi.

Although his Realm was only at the Middle Spirit Transformation stage, within his body, he possessed a complete world with a radius of fifty thousand miles!

"You call that drizzle from just now, pressure?"

Lin Que slowly drew the **quasi-Immortal artifact - starfall** from his back with his right hand.

The moment the saber left its sheath, there was no earth-shattering saber light, only an absolute World Extreme Gravity Law that transcended this world!

He raised his head and looked at the three ten-thousand-zhang True Immortal Dharma Forms smashing down.

A sneer that was cold to the bone curled up at the corner of his mouth.

"Today, I'll teach you what is truly... Mount Tai pressing down!"

Lin Que didn't swing the saber to slash.

Instead, he gripped the long saber in reverse and extremely violently slammed the starfall saber into the Immortal gold ruins beneath his feet!

"Divine Ability — **Ten Thousand Mile World Pressure**! Get on your knees for me!!"

Rumble————!!!

Following Lin Que's stab into the ground!

The terrifying weight of the fifty thousand-mile inner heaven and earth within him, at this moment, was all superimposed on this square inch of the outside world without reservation!

Time, space, Immortal Qi, Laws!

In this instant, everything was forcibly crushed by this unreasonable "world-class physical gravity"!

"Woo ah—!!!"

In mid-air.

The three arrogant True Immortal Dharma Forms, the moment they touched this gravity, were like mud figures run over by a billion-ton hydraulic press. They didn't even last for a single breath before they cracked inch by inch, exploding into sky-filling golden light!

"What?! My Dharma Form!!"

The Red-Bearded True Immortal spat out a mouthful of Immortal blood mixed with internal organs. He was horrified to discover that his True Immortal body, which was said to be indestructible through ten thousand tribulations, was emitting shrill bone-cracking sounds under this terrifying pressure!

"Thump! Thump! Thump!"

Without any room for resistance.

The three high-and-mighty Void Returning Realm True Immortal commanders were forced to their knees by this terrifying power they couldn't understand at all, smashing three huge deep pits into the ground made of Immortal gold!

And the hundreds of thousands of Immortal soldiers behind them couldn't even scream; like dominoes, they were pressed to the ground in droves, unable to move!

The whole scene was dead silent. Only the rustling sound of the breeze blowing over the ruins remained.

Lin Que pulled the long saber from the ground and walked unhurriedly to the Red-Bearded True Immortal kneeling in the front.

He extended his right hand, which was as fair as jade but contained a terrifying force of twenty million catties, and grabbed the Red-Bearded True Immortal's neck, lifting him up from the ground like a chicken.

Lin Que leaned in front of him, looked into those eyes filled with endless fear, and smiled extremely gently:

"The air in this Upper Realm is indeed not bad."

"Go, notify your Immortal Emperor."

"From today on, this territory belongs to my Central Province."
