Chapter 1824 A formidable foe has arrived?!
Next, he will study the Burial of Heaven Scroll.
This diagram relates to the ultimate evolution of his path to immortality.
He unrolled the scroll.
In an instant, he seemed to be pulled into an indescribable scene of terror.
The myriad realms shattered, stars extinguished one after another, countless worlds collapsed amidst wailing cries, living beings were annihilated like ants, and the laws of the Great Dao broke like chains…
This is not simple destruction, but an end.
It is the destination of all things, the end of all existence.
The Daoist spirit in the scroll resonated strongly with Zhang Xuan's Burial Immortal Foundation.
The Burial Immortal Foundation was originally an inner landscape foundation forged by Zhang Xuan using the Burial Immortal Ancient Ruins as its base and integrating the Great Daos of End, Destruction, and Nirvana from the side branches of Nirvana.
Its core meaning is to annihilate both immortals and mortals, and to end everything.
The Burial of Heaven Scroll takes this profound meaning of burial to its extreme.
Bury the heavens, annihilate all worlds!
"I see……"
Zhang Xuan was immersed in the Daoist charm of the scroll, his mind resonating with it.
His "Burial Immortal Base" began to be adapted into a self-acted drama.
The chaotic divine sea surged, the Great Dao Tree swayed, and the branch among the thirteen branches related to "end," "destruction," and "reincarnation" shone brightly.
Especially that branch of Nirvana, which was originally just a trace of the final Dao of Great Nirvana, is now beginning to evolve towards a deeper level of end under the guidance of the Burial of Heaven Scroll.
"Using the Burial Immortal Foundation as a guide, and incorporating the true meaning of Burial Heaven, we forge the Great Dao of Burial Heaven!"
Zhang Xuan made up his mind and no longer hesitated.
He formed hand seals, completely unleashing the Burial Immortal Foundation, and actively absorbed the final Daoist essence within the Burial Heaven Scroll.
Within the scroll, collapsed interfaces, annihilated stars, and fractured laws...
It transformed into streaks of black finality, surging into Zhang Xuan's inner world.
These Dao traces merged with the Burial Immortal Foundation, beginning to reshape his Great Dao foundation.
This process is even more dangerous than refining the Lone Yang Source Liquid.
The end of the Dao is one of the most dangerous paths. If one is not careful, one may be devoured by the Dao and be the one who is ended.
Zhang Xuan's physical body underwent another transformation.
The skin began to crack, and instead of blood, the cracks contained pure black.
That was the manifestation of the end of the Daoist rhythm.
Flesh, bones, and internal organs are all being eroded and annihilated by the Daoist energy of termination.
Even his soul began to become illusory, on the verge of being completely erased.
"This is an inevitable tribulation... The Path of Burial Heaven is inherently defying the heavens... I must personally endure it..."
He gritted his teeth and persevered, his Burial Immortal Foundation operating wildly, using its own true meaning of "burial" to contain those external Daoist rhymes of termination.
This is a struggle against the very Dao itself.
Either he will master the Dao of Ending and forge the Great Dao of Burying Heaven.
Either he is swallowed up by the Dao of Termination and completely annihilated, unable to even enter the cycle of reincarnation.
Time passes minute by minute.
Zhang Xuan's physical body was on the verge of collapse, with most of his body turning black, resembling a porcelain vase about to shatter.
But his eyes grew brighter and brighter.
That was the light of enlightenment.
"So... the true meaning of burying the heavens wasn't simply destruction..."
"Instead...it's a return."
"The collapse of the heavens is a return to chaos; the return of all realms to nothingness is a return to emptiness; the annihilation of living beings is a return to the origin; the rupture of laws is a return to the Great Dao..."
"Burial of Heaven is not the end of everything, but the return of everything to its original state, without beginning or end, without birth or death, without existence or extinction..."
"This is... the true burial of heaven!"
In the instant of enlightenment, Zhang Xuan's inner world underwent a tremendous transformation.
The Daoist energy that had been eroding his physical body no longer tried to annihilate him, but instead began to perfectly merge with his Immortal Burial Foundation.
The cracked body began to repair itself, the blackness faded, and it transformed back into a flesh and blood body, but the newly formed flesh and blood was already imprinted with the Dao patterns of the End.
The illusory soul solidified again, and a black mark of annihilation appeared on the primordial spirit.
Most importantly, the transformation of the Burial Immortal Foundation.
"Om-!"
The Burial Heaven Scroll trembled slightly, transforming into a black stream of light that entered Zhang Xuan's brow and completely merged with his Burial Immortal Foundation.
The ultimate Dao essence contained within the scroll was completely absorbed and refined by Zhang Xuan.
At this point, both treasures had been fully refined.
Zhang Xuan slowly opened his eyes.
At this moment, his demeanor underwent a complete transformation.
He still wore the same blue robe and had his black hair loose, but the Daoist aura around him was as deep and profound as an abyss.
His cultivation level broke through again, reaching the peak of True Immortal.
Moreover, its foundation is so solid and its Daoist charm so profound that it has even reached the threshold of the Golden Immortal realm!
All strange phenomena are contained within, returning to simplicity and authenticity.
His aura was perfectly harmonious and flawless, as majestic as a mountain!
By integrating the myriad phenomena of the Ancient Burial Ruins of Immortals, ruling the Immortal Path, and incorporating the Dao Diagram and Immortal Gate into himself, his cultivation finally reached the pinnacle of this realm.
The next step is to condense one's own Great Dao Ferry and strive for the supreme Golden Immortal status.
However, the barrier to becoming a Golden Immortal cannot be broken through by arduous cultivation alone; it requires greater opportunities and a deeper accumulation of knowledge.
Just now.
"Buzz!"
An immense pressure slammed down on his divine senses!
This pressure... was neither the cold and sharp aura of Jiao'er, a newly promoted Golden Immortal, nor the eerie tyranny of the reincarnation of the Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Evils, but rather a majestic aura that seemed to carry the accumulated energy of a complete world over hundreds of millions of years!
The direction points directly to a gap in the boundary membrane of the Nine Divine Realms!
"Golden Immortal... mid-stage?! And... at least twenty True Immortal auras!" Zhang Xuan's pupils shrank sharply.
In an instant, his figure flashed and he appeared in the boundless void.
Almost simultaneously, several powerful auras tore through space and descended beside him.
With her flowing, icy blue sleeves, Jiao'er silently appeared. Her delicate brows furrowed slightly, and her icy, abyss-like eyes gazed in the direction from which the oppressive aura emanated. The illusory image of the Great Dao Ferry flowed around her.
Clad in a green robe, You Wuyai stepped forward, displaying his late-stage True Immortal cultivation without reservation.
The ninth-tier ancient whale and Yu Xuan stood silently, their auras as deep and profound as an abyss.
"The visitor is hostile," You Wuyai said in a low voice.
"Too fast, there's no way to avoid it." Jiao'er's clear, cold voice rang out, carrying the unique majesty of a Golden Immortal. "Prepare for battle."
Needless to say.
"Om-!"
The void trembled, and the massive hull of the Immortal Gourd Divine Ship leaped out first. Countless new and mysterious patterns on the hull lit up, and deep within the muzzle of the Annihilation Flame Sun Cannon, a chilling darkness was brewing.
Then, one, ten, a hundred...
Two hundred true immortal puppets rose into the air from every corner of the Immortal Gourd Realm, quickly forming a three-dimensional killing formation in the void!
The biggest changes occurred on the outskirts of the nine divine realms.
The originally hidden Immortal Refining Array did not appear directly. Instead, nine majestic star phantoms of different colors slowly rotated along mysterious trajectories, connected to each other by countless dazzling starlight chains, forming a seamless three-dimensional star field defense.
This is the Nine Luminaries Protectorate Immortal Array!
This array is a half-step ninth-level immortal refining array that has absorbed top-tier array materials from a massive amount of spoils of war. It was crafted by Zhang Dawu over a hundred years.
Its defenses are so strong that even a mid-stage Golden Immortal would have to put in some effort to defend against it!
Zhang Xuan, Jiao'er, You Wuyai, the Ninth-Order Ancient Whale, Yu Xuan, and the Heavenly Eclipse Ancestor, along with two hundred True Immortal Puppets and the Nine Luminaries Formation outside, formed an ironclad defense line stretching across the boundless void.
