Reaching the Yang God realm, in the eyes of all beings, marks a figure of the level of an Immortal. Every gesture carries overwhelming power capable of altering heaven and earth. To most races, this is the mark of a true Sixth-Level powerhouse.
Generally speaking, for a normal cultivator to break through to the Yang God realm, it would take hundreds, even thousands of years. Even geniuses could not achieve it in just over a decade.
However, this is the Eternal World born of the fusion of the myriad worlds — abundant opportunities, thick primordial energy of heaven and earth, plus Yi Tianxing's internal Life Map fused with the Map of Rivers and Mountains, opening a Fate Dynasty, expanding the Fate Dynasty. Each expansion is a tremendous chance of destiny, as if some great power is enlightening him directly. Otherwise, a Primordial Spirit realm cultivator's 1,500 years of Dao practice would not be attainable in such a short time.
Of course, Yi Tianxing is not the only one with such a foundation.
All the major races have geniuses with transcendent talents. Many have chosen to restart their cultivation after the fusion of the myriad worlds. Their previous cultivation forms the basis of their essence. Following a proper path, their breakthrough becomes unstoppable. They can quickly regain their former cultivation level and powerful strength. Thus, the first thousand years of the Eternal World will be an era of countless rising strong cultivators.
Not to mention a decade — even within one or two years, it's possible to directly break through to the Yang God realm and advance to True Spirit. Miracles never cease.
Yi Tianxing has the entire Great Yi Dynasty's Fate Dynasty to support him. His breakthrough to Yang God is only natural, inevitable.
If he doesn't break through, then who will?
When it became known that Yi Tianxing had ascended to the Yang God realm, all cultivators revealed a trace of understanding. No one found it surprising — in fact, many thought he should have broken through long ago. Today's breakthrough was relatively late.
"Finally, the Yang God realm. In the upcoming great battles, there's more confidence in self-preservation. Also, longevity will surge once more."
The radiance on Yi Tianxing's body flickered and vanished quickly. After the glow faded, he began to gather it inward. A sudden thought flashed through his mind.
Ding!!
At that moment, within the Life Aperture of his Spiritual Sea, without warning, a pale blue jade life tablet appeared, as if it materialized from thin air, generated from the void. On its surface, clear cracks were visible—traces of time.
There were exactly thirty-four cracks—no more, no less—stark and eye-catching, resembling shattered porcelain.
Each crack was indelible, representing that he had reached thirty-four years of age, having passed through thirty-four springs and autumns.
Yet this life wheel was undergoing a strange transformation. An invisible force of creation continuously merged into the life wheel. The icy blue wheel gradually shifted toward a cyan color and grew larger.
This change was clearly visible to the naked eye.
"The source of life is surging—this is the miracle of life. The life level is evolving."
As the life wheel transformed, an inexplicable feeling spontaneously arose within his mind. He clearly sensed the explosive growth of his life potential. This was evolution of the life tier.
Cultivation is a form of life's leap and metamorphosis.
Unconsciously, he watched as the life wheel naturally shifted into sky cyan, crystal-clear like jade, emitting a soft jade glow—so perfect, so brilliant.
The jade life tablet grew bigger, expanding several times its original size.
But the original cracks remained, all thirty-four of them still present, though now less conspicuous on the larger life wheel.
This new life wheel could hold tens of thousands of cracks.
This was the life wheel of a Yang Spirit realm cultivator—cyan in color.
"Cyan Life Wheel, longevity of one hundred thousand years."
Yi Tianxing murmured to himself. This was undoubtedly good news. The ultimate longevity of the Yang God realm was one hundred thousand years. Now possessing it meant his foundation was already tremendously solid.
This was the most direct manifestation of the source of his life.
"Next comes the cultivation within the Yang God realm. The Yang God realm means cultivating the Five Qi Chaoyuan, Five Qi transforming into Qingyun."
A thought arose in Yi Tianxing's mind.
Yang God realm was undoubtedly a completely new cultivation stage.
Primordial Spirit cultivates the Three Flowers Gathering at the Crown, while Yang Spirit condenses the Five Qi Chaoyuan.
Yang God is a very special realm. It refines the Five Qi in the chest, gathers them within the five organs. Once fully condensed, one can trigger the Five Qi Chaoyuan. The essence of this process is to use the Five Qi in the chest to temper the Primordial Spirit and forge a Pure Yang Immortal Body, allowing one's life to leap and transform again.
Therefore, the Yang God realm is divided into three sub-levels: Five Qi, Chaoyuan, Qingyun.
First condense the Five Qi in the chest, then forge the Pure Yang Immortal Body, finally transform and generate the Qingyun above the head.
There are two paths in the Yang God realm.
One path is, upon reaching the Chaoyuan stage, to rely on the Five Qi Chaoyuan process to completely shed the mortal body, carrying all life essence from the flesh into the Pure Yang Immortal Body, fully transcending the mundane and becoming immortal. This Pure Yang Immortal Body is naturally close to the primordial energy of heaven and earth, allowing one to better sense the Dao's rhythms and accelerate cultivation.
This path is the final choice for most cultivators who follow the Qi Refining method.
The other path is to not abandon the original mortal body. Instead, condense the Five Qi in the chest while forging the Pure Yang Immortal Body but without carrying the mortal body's life essence. However, the Five Qi Chaoyuan itself exhausts life during the leap, so one must have enough power to forge the Pure Yang Immortal Body and simultaneously keep the mortal body alive, preventing the life essence from dissipating.
This requires an incredibly strong mortal body with vigorous vitality.
The breakthrough must happen at the peak of life. The forged Pure Yang Immortal Body will then merge with the original mortal body, causing the physical body to instantly undergo massive transformation, rapidly strengthening. It is definitely not a simple one plus one equals two — but a fundamental metamorphosis.
...
"What a Yi Emperor, breaking through to the Yang God realm so quickly. Truly worthy of being a generation prodigy."
Within the Vast Sea Dragon Palace, the Vast Sea Dragon King immediately received the news of Yi Tianxing's breakthrough. Without a doubt, this was important information. Yang Spirit realm was no longer an easily grasped soft target. Once unleashed, the destructive power would be terrifying.
"Well then, the world has been too peaceful for too long. It's time for some excitement."
The Vast Sea Dragon King calmly uttered these words.
With his words, the killing intent within the entire Vast Sea Domain surged violently in an instant.
Great Yi Dynasty
Expedition City
Expedition City stood on a solitary island in the vast sea. Yet this immortal city was bustling and prosperous. Surrounded by countless sea beasts, it served as a perfect base for hunting them as supplies.
The city's permanent population had already reached five to six hundred thousand. Along with passing bounty hunters, the number exceeded seven to eight hundred thousand.
On this day, many standing atop the city walls noticed the sky suddenly darkened.
"What a huge cloud bank. Lao Liu, looks like a heavy storm is coming."
Two old men stood on the wall gazing at the sea and spoke up as they noticed a mass of dark clouds in the sky.
"Yes, the sea weather really changes fast. One moment it's bright sun, the next moment fierce winds and rainstorms. This looks like it's going to be a big one. Those bounty hunters out at sea better head back soon."
Boom! Boom!
Suddenly, violent thunder roared from the void, massive lightning tore the sky, revealing a terrifying visage of savagery.
In an instant, the storm burst forth, pouring down torrential rain. Fierce winds whipped up the sea, generating gigantic waves that soared to the heavens.
Not far ahead, waves churned violently.
Roar!
A terrifying roar sounded as a massive ferocious beast emerged from the sea, standing atop a giant wave thousands of zhang high, its aura overwhelming.
Its appearance was bizarre—a gigantic sea turtle, but different. Its head resembled a dragon, with a single horn. Its tail was like a dragon's tail, and its claws were like dragon claws. The turtle shell was engraved with dragon scale patterns, eerie and sinister. Its size was enormous, several thousand zhang long.
Appearing atop the waves, an invisible pressure swept the surroundings. Its eyes glowed blood red, extremely terrifying.
"What is that thing? Looks like a sea turtle but not quite. Could it be a sea turtle that gained dragon bloodline and mutated into a dragon breed? Is this a Dragon Turtle?"
"Such a huge dragon sea beast suddenly appearing—what's it trying to do?"
Within Expedition City, a large crowd of civilians rushed to the city walls, looking at the sea with shock and fear.
The features of this beast were too obvious to miss; it was clearly a dragon breed mutation. The sea turtle itself is extremely defensive, its shell tough to break except by something many times stronger. Now it had become a dragon breed, mutated and huge — obviously with formidable defenses.
But it had never appeared before. Its sudden emergence was unusual.
"Look, so many ferocious beasts!"
"My god, sea beasts, dragon breed sea beasts, large numbers of them, all coming out! This is a beast tide — the beast tide is coming!"
"Quick, notify the imperial court, the beast tide is coming!"
Countless civilians gasped. The waves churned fiercely. Countless sea beasts surged from the ocean. Even the sky was blackened by dense flocks of sea birds, emitting a menacing aura.
