The Great Yi Immortal Court was frantically seizing the rare treasures within the Chaos Tide. The Hongmeng Heavenly Emperor Tower took this opportunity to continuously strengthen its own foundation. The world inside the tower was swelling at a speed visible to the naked eye, expanding rapidly. The magnitude of this expansion was something that, under normal circumstances, would be absolutely impossible.
These tides of power contained not only pure chaotic essence but also fragments of the laws of the Eternal and Evernight worlds. The most precious of all were these law fragments. They embodied the very laws of heaven and earth, and for the world within the tower, they were the most delicious banquet imaginable.
Thirty-four million miles!
Thirty-five million miles!!…
The expansion of the tower's internal space far surpassed all imagination. The benefits brought by the Chaos Tide were greater than anyone had foreseen.
The Chaos Tide itself was a kind of creation, a form of repairing heaven and earth. Many realms, under the sweep of the tide, were expanding and growing at an astonishing pace. Naturally, the tidal power drawn into the Heavenly Emperor Tower was the greatest nourishment.
As the tide persisted, the expansion continued without end.The longer it lasted, the greater the benefits the Heavenly Emperor Tower reaped.
At this moment, one could clearly see the tower suspended in the void, radiating waves of violet divine light. Its glazed body shimmered with countless patterns and runes, outlining images of primordial divine weapons. It was wondrous to the extreme. Layers of mysterious innate divine prohibitions circulated within, with entirely new restrictions continuously being born.
With the strengthening of its foundation, the Heavenly Emperor Tower itself underwent a promotion and transformation in rank. Within the ranks of supreme treasures, it once again advanced with great strides.
This was a creation unseen throughout the ages.
Under normal circumstances, Yi Tianxing had long ceased to hope for the Heavenly Emperor Tower to advance in such a short time. Yet, the appearance of the Chaos Tide gave him an unparalleled opportunity to reap vast fortune.
At this very moment, the entire Eternal World was in utter frenzy.
Within the tide, countless beings of myriad races watched as streaks of divine light swam and flew around them. Some cultivators, not knowing what they were, instinctively dodged them. But in many cases, the lights rushed directly into their arms—as if throwing themselves into their embrace.
There was no need to reach out. They simply fell into their grasp.
The next instant, they realized what these divine lights were.
"Treasure! These lights are treasures!"
"Hurry, grab them! Every single one is a treasure. Catching even one will be the foundation of your future growth and survival."
"Heavens! I caught one—it's truly a heavenly treasure! With this, I can establish my life-bound supreme treasure. At last, I can begin refining it!"
"I got a book. It's a cultivation technique—Azure Sea Green Lotus Scripture! What kind of technique is this? It's a classic-tier scripture. Compared to the one I practice now, it's immeasurably stronger. The grade isn't even on the same level. I must switch, I must!"
"I caught a saber! What a blade—this saber can slaughter demons and monsters, unstoppable and invincible."
Immediately, countless cultivators across the Eternal World burst into cries of joy.
The divine lights were simply too numerous, impossible to count, containing all manner of things. Even if one did nothing, as long as their fortune wasn't terrible, treasures would fall upon them, sometimes even striking them on the head. The odds were not small. It was heaven's gift, pure and direct.
Realizing that every divine light contained a treasure, faces everywhere turned wild with frenzy. Without hesitation, they lunged to catch the darting rays.
But success was rare. Some caught them, but lacked the strength to hold on, and the lights slipped away. The lights themselves seemed to possess keen spirituality.
Many shot off into different regions of heaven and earth, disappearing without a trace. Upon landing, they naturally birthed restrictions, concealing their aura. Without fate, they could never be found. But this also meant that after the Chaos Tide, both the Eternal and Evernight worlds would become lands littered with treasures. With enough fortune, anyone could obtain a great creation. One stroke of luck, and soaring into the heavens would no longer be just a dream.
The quantity of these rare treasures was simply too great. Yet they appeared far too swiftly, like a meteor shower flashing by, vanishing in an instant. Even mighty experts could not seize many, let alone the unprepared masses. The rest scattered into hiding, waiting for another chance to emerge in the future.
These celestial treasures were born of law fragments from both realms fused with chaotic essence. Miss this wave, and there would likely never be another.
Once the divine lights vanished, the Chaos Tide still continued, but now without its radiant blessings.
Yet soon after, even more terrifying changes arose.
The realms had already been invaded by the magic of Evernight. Wherever Evernight's power had seeped in, as the tide swept through, it suddenly devoured the tidal forces with frenzied hunger, drawing in the fragments of Evernight's laws.
The reaction was immediate and catastrophic.
In some regions, without warning, dark passageways emerged. Barriers ruptured, holes yawning open like bottomless vortices, radiating dreadful auras, as if ready to spew out horrific demonic monsters that could devour all.
Demon Abyss!
These were indeed Demon Abyss.
They erupted across the realms like bamboo shoots after rain. Every domain saw their emergence—some in the sky, some underwater, some hidden in valleys or buried in abysses. Most were small in scale.
From each Abyss, pure Evernight demonic qi surged forth, corroding the surroundings with alarming speed.
Yet no demons poured out immediately. They seemed sealed, in a dormant state. But there was no doubt—they were all linked to Evernight. Once they erupted, even a small Demon Abyss could unleash destruction beyond imagination.
And Demon Abyss could grow. Should they evolve into medium or even large Abyss, the devastation would be catastrophic.
Some realms birthed one or two. Others, three or four. Some even seven or eight at once.
Their emergence was utterly silent.
Within Great Yi, too, signs of Demon Abyss appeared. Yet here, the infection of demonic calamity was extremely weak, always suppressed beneath the weight of Great Yi's destiny. The concentration of Evernight energy was too thin to pierce through. At most, one Demon Abyss might emerge in a domain, sometimes none at all.
In this regard, Great Yi was faring far better than any other realm.
Even the Abyss that did appear barely qualified as small, verging on the level of micro-Abyss—hardly threats at all.
And unlike elsewhere, in Great Yi the instant a Abyss appeared, the Eye of the Sun and Eye of the Moon in the void locked onto its position, pinpointing its exact coordinates without effort.
"The Chaos Tide truly is formidable. After just one tide, the fusion between the two realms has deepened. The birth of Demon Abyss is a sign of this continued merging. It seems the true demonic calamity is about to arrive. Evernight's assaults really do come in endless waves. Unfortunately, this plan is doomed to fail. Against my Great Yi, it will be useless."
Yi Tianxing's gaze was deep as he looked toward the direction of the Abyss, sneering inwardly.
Their emergence was no surprise. He had already learned of them from Yi Tianxie.
Within Great Yi, Demon Abyss posed no real threat. The true danger lay in other realms. When the caves opened, countless regions would instantly fall into ruin. The situation would be dire.
In such times, demons would inevitably run rampant.
But another's disaster was also Great Yi's opportunity.
The chance Great Yi awaited had finally arrived.
Unnoticed, the all-encompassing Chaos Tide began to fade and vanish, dissolving into nothingness. The fusion of the two realms had entered a brand-new stage.
"Pass down my order. Summon the ministers to the Hall of Knowledge and Action for deliberation."
Having witnessed the tide's dispersal, Yi Tianxing wasted no time. With a wave of his hand, he retracted the Heavenly Emperor Tower and returned to the Immortal Palace.
Upon inspection, he found the tower transformed beyond recognition. The world within had swelled to an astonishing radius of one hundred million miles, expanding several times over. Mountains and seas had multiplied beyond count.
It was as if heaven and earth had been opened anew. Much of the new land resembled wild primordial wilderness, with towering, untamed flora.
Within this world lived countless human citizens. They clearly felt the changes—not only had the world grown larger and taller, but the vitality of heaven and earth was now richer than ever. Instantly, their bodies were nourished by spiritual energy, illnesses washed away, leaving them refreshed and elated.
"One hundred million miles… excellent. This has saved me centuries of effort. If such tides come a few more times, the tower may well advance again. Even now, its power has increased tenfold at least. This… this is but the faint outline of a true Great Thousand World."
Yi Tianxing nodded in satisfaction.
Such gains pleased him greatly. After all, this was his ultimate trump card—the stronger it became, the greater the surprise it would deliver to his enemies.
