CHAPTER 1664: CHAPTER 1605: THE RETURN OF THE AZURE EMPEROR, DIVINE PERSONA OF ALL HEAVENS!

At the center of his brow, it seemed as though strands of divine patterns were interweaving, continuously sketching Dao patterns, emanating a mysterious aura, as if merging with heaven and earth, radiating a unique charm of the Great Dao.

However, even the gradually solidifying mass of divine light still appeared illusory, as if it were unreal, more like a mirage on the ocean, ready to vanish at any moment.

Clearly, this gradually coalescing divinity seemed to be missing something!

And at this moment, Xiao Chen was also plunged into a state of silence, his features twisted, caught in a state from which it was difficult to extricate himself.

With each breath, he constantly resonated with the divine light at the center of his brow, vaguely communicating mutually.

Star Sea World.

Under the Tree of Life, Xiao Chen’s Spirit manifested a solid form of a Soul Body, an extreme exhaustion etched on the phantom’s face as well.

Obviously, his own expenditure had reached a considerable degree, and suddenly the area around the Soul Body trembled, with divine light Dao arts expanding greatly, even accompanied by dancing divine flowers, crystalline and translucent, the Radiant Glow even surpassing the brilliance of the Tree of Life at this moment.

As the divine flowers drifted, they turned into a twelve-petal Divine Lotus, elevating his Spirit Body, not only him in the outer world, but also the phenomenon reflected around Xiao Chen’s main body, mirroring that of the Star Sea World without the slightest difference.

Seated within the Divine Lotus, the originally exhausted Spirit seemed to be nurtured, wrapped in threads of divine rosy clouds, the tightly furrowed features gradually relaxed.

Buzz!

The divine light was dazzling, with ripples emanating.

In the divine light, a flame around Xiao Chen’s Soul Body transformed into an illusory fire rune, with only a simple stroke, yet it contained endless heaven and earth’s flames.

Following closely, mountain Dao patterns manifested, golden sword Dao patterns appeared, the wood Dao pattern resembled a forked two-leaf clover, and the water Dao pattern turned into ripples, five extremely simple Dao patterns manifested, as if connected by some inexplicable relationship.

Buzz!

Amidst the five Dao patterns erupted a mighty surge, the divine light dazzling, like a great sun piercing through time and space.

In the Great Wasteland, an emperor’s ascension to the Imperial Dao was more than just the personal evolution of one’s Dao arts delineating into the most fundamental Dao patterns to form the Imperial Dao imprint, representing mastery of this complete Great Dao.

However, for Xiao Chen, he wasn’t merely a single Great Dao talisman, but dozens; thus calculating how these dozens of Dao patterns could merge into a single divinity was the problem he had to solve.

The divine light gathered into strands of mist, one Dao pattern after another manifested, floating around him, each concluded talisman emitted a force that overwhelmed heaven and earth, this kind of aura directly suppressed the mind, causing one to tremble.

"Condense!"

Amidst encircling divine light, Xiao Chen sat cross-legged within the Divine Lotus, resonating with each Dao pattern.

The reason why the Soul Body manifested in the Star Sea World, and simultaneously the main body manifested the same scene outside, was to unite as one at the ultimate moment, synchronizing together.

Around the brow, divine light lingered, and along with Xiao Chen’s movement, five Dao patterns appeared and fused, then began to coalesce.

Amidst the encircling Dao patterns, akin to great stars encircling, the divinity was the entire starry sky, and with each breath, the Dao pattern stars reversed, the divine light orb oscillated.

The five most basic Great Dao patterns meshed seamlessly, like a halo, radiating dazzling divine light, beginning to stabilize the still-illusory orb of light at the center of the brow, faintly sketching a blurred circle, yet still not solidifying that trace of illusion within the light orb.

At this moment, each Dao pattern sparkled like a star, emitting Dao light, under the guidance of Xiao Chen’s own aura, began moving towards the previous halo.

These surrounding Dao talismans were over sixty in number, and over countless years, he observed the battles of Primordial Spirits in the desolation. Although unable to fully comprehend all the Great Daos transformed by these Primordial Spirits, he still realized seventy-two of them.

Among them were the Great Daos he had originally comprehended, yet because he previously halted at pseudo-emperor, they had always been sedimented within him. Now that shackle no longer existed, seeing the manifestation of the original Dao patterns naturally led to their comprehension.

As for the remaining newly comprehended Dao patterns, the reason they manifested from nothing to something, breaking through the realm of Dao condensation, was because he took an opportunistic path, observing the manifestation of Dao arts by Primordial Spirits in the desolation, thus the path was correct, and some things naturally unfolded!

Yet, between each Dao pattern, there seemed to be repulsion; every time he attempted to fuse them, they would generate immense repulsion.

Buzz!

It was unknown how long had passed, but a wave of divine volatility emanated from his body, at this moment atop the Divine Lotus, Xiao Chen was shrouded in rain transformed from myriad divine lights, an aura of all heavens merging as one emerged.

Thud!

While still in a state of mutual fusion, Xiao Chen suddenly opened his eyes without warning, within his pupils Dao patterns manifested, one transformed into a great sun, another into a bright moon, one by one the Dao patterns continually transformed scenes.

And in the instant of opening his eyes, the Soul Body in the Star Sea World also opened its eyes, the Dao patterns surrounding it seemed to be guided, starting to tremble.

"The merging of all heavens is inherently a unity, how is it that when merging into one, it appears separate, yet isn’t it truly mutual fusion within one space-time, forming a whole, all Daos appearing together, that is the only world, this is the true mystery of all heavens!"

With insight in his eyes, at this moment the great sun and bright moon suddenly burst forth from his pupils, an ancient, desolate aura surged like an ocean, this was an unparalleled pressure.

In an instant, he even felt an impulse to return to the ancient Desolate Wilds and stand shoulder to shoulder with the Wild Gods.

Buzz!

At this moment, the Dao Pattern that had long since formed a five-colored halo silently shattered, once again turning into five separate Dao Patterns.

Boom!

Almost in that instant, the Dao Patterns that had been hovering around his body exploded simultaneously with a hum, colliding all at once.

At the center of his brow, divine light surged like a tide, strands of Rosy Clouds enveloped Xiao Chen, soaring into the sky and transforming into a heavenly column.

Within the divine light, a glimpse of an ancient and desolate Earth could be seen, the Desolate Wilds boundless, as a form akin to an ancient Divine Mountain stood tall between Heaven and Earth.

The Divine Shadow reaching the sky was surrounded by dense Rosy Clouds, auspicious energy cascading like a waterfall, space and time quivering, as Dao Patterns manifested, surrendering beside the Divine Shadow, and an indescribable majesty erupted across time and space!

And Xiao Chen, who had originally been seated on the Divine Lotus, was also shrouded in dense divine light, with Dao Patterns vaguely appearing and circling around him, emitting a dignity that seemed to transcend all beings for a moment.

With every breath he took, all the Daos resonated with him.

...

Almost at that moment, in the time and space of the Nine Nether Underworld, the ancient Human Emperor, who had been standing with his hands behind his back, suddenly looked towards the blood-colored heart, and even the newly returned Emperor Tu looked towards the blood-colored heart.

Emperor Tu frowned, because just a moment ago, he sensed the resonance of the Great Dao within the surrounding time and space, as if stirred by some existence.

However, when he tried to capture this suddenly emerging fluctuation, he found it vanished without a trace, and could only shake his head, once again casting a deep glance at the blood-colored heart.

Wandering in the ever-flowing Long River of years, even Emperor Tu himself did not know how to calculate time, for whatever time that passed might just bring them back to an even more ancient time with the next moment’s temporal regression.

Yet, reaching this state, even ten thousand years seemed insignificant, when finally, the six Stone Gates suspended in the Void started to show signs of movement again!

Dong!

Like the sound of a Heavenly Bell ringing, followed by the rumbling of Stone Gates being pushed open, within which a figure in a green robe stepped out from one of them!

At this moment, Emperor Tu suddenly rose, looking towards the figure emerging; the Celestial Emperor, once again stepping out from the Gate of Reincarnation, had not changed at all, whether in thought, appearance, or aura, completely identical to before.

No, something was wrong!

But in the briefest instant, Emperor Tu responded inwardly; his previous sensations belonged to his sense when he was still in his reincarnation form, now that he had regained his past life’s realm and even advanced further, it made no sense for his senses to remain unchanged!

"Only with an eternal heart, can one achieve eternity." At this moment, the ancient Human Emperor, who had been silent, finally spoke.

What!

Emperor Tu was startled, and the Celestial Emperor, stepping out from the Gate of Reincarnation, quivered slightly, then respectfully bowed again towards the ancient Human Emperor!

"Thank you, Grand Emperor, for your guidance."

"Brother Celestial, you..."

And now Emperor Tu also reacted, with a look of shock, no wonder he couldn’t grasp the meaning of the ancient Human Emperor’s previous words, Dao is boundless, and understanding comes from reaching deep realisation on one’s own.

"Not yet."

The Celestial Emperor chuckled lightly, shaking his head, yet there was no trace of discouragement on his face.

"But soon, having lived through two lifetimes and re-entered reincarnation to understand myself, I’ve already comprehended the true essence of eternity."

Back in his reincarnation, the Celestial Emperor was already at the peak of the Imperial Dao Heavenly Realm, now, having traversed two lifetimes, he finally steps into this eternal realm, though he hasn’t truly entered eternity yet, the true meaning of eternity is already within reach, stepping into the eternal Imperial Dao is now a matter of course.

"Congratulations, Brother Celestial."

Emperor Tu’s eyes held a sense of aspiration, as the eternal Imperial Dao was the pursuit of every sovereign, but there wasn’t a trace of jealousy; the Celestial Emperor reaching eternity indeed provided a tremendous support for the human race.

"The path has been found, and the rest is but a step away."

The ancient Human Emperor once again cast his gaze upon the blood-colored heart, speaking softly, drawing the attention of both Emperor Tu and the Celestial Emperor.

And at this moment, deep within the blood-colored heart, a sky-reaching divine light flickered, with each dazzling Dao Pattern circulating brilliantly, and at the center of the divine light, a blurred outline exuded the aura of harmonizing with the Dao of all heavens.

Though it was merely a blurred outline, a circular imprint on the brow was gleaming and dazzling, like a Divine Jade, emitting the Heavenly Divine Light, shining brightly!
