Billions of Lightning Tribulations transformed into a cage of confinement!
The imprints of supreme existences attacked all at once!
This tribulation could be described as extremely perilous.
Even an Emperor would undoubtedly fall within such a nightmare-difficulty Heavenly Tribulation!
Yet Jun Xiaoyao watched all of this.
His state of mind, at this most critical life-and-death moment, became incredibly calm.
The surging Lightning Tribulation across the sky slowed down at this moment.
Jun Xiaoyao seemed able to see every single strand of lightning.
The imprints of those supreme existences also seemed to slow down at this moment.
Jun Xiaoyao's heart was like a mirror, still as water.
A special, profound aura emanated from within Jun Xiaoyao's body.
In the distance, Dao Emperor Jun Cangsheng saw this and sensed that aura.
A faint smile appeared at the corners of his lips.
"Enlightenment amidst a Heavenly Tribulation; the younger generation is truly formidable."
That's right!
At this most critical life-and-death moment.
Jun Xiaoyao had actually entered a certain mysterious state of enlightenment!
But this time, what he was comprehending was not some Dao related to the three thousand Laws.
It was a Dao that belonged to himself!
"What is my goal..."
Jun Xiaoyao suddenly pondered this question at this moment.
Was his goal to become an Emperor?
Of course not; becoming an Emperor was, to him, not a big deal at all.
Then... was it Immortal Ascension?
Immortal Ascension, to the billions of living beings, was merely a legendary existence.
Even for a Cultivator, it was a dream that could be seen but never reached.
But for Jun Xiaoyao.
Was Immortal Ascension difficult?
Becoming an Emperor, or even Immortal Ascension, was not Jun Xiaoyao's goal.
Jun Xiaoyao's goal was eternal freedom, to become the supreme, unique existence in the world!
Compared to this, what was the current tribulation?
Jun Xiaoyao contemplated at this moment, seemingly having reached some kind of realization.
Immortal Ascension is easy, but freedom is hard!
For him, what was difficult was never Immortal Ascension, but great freedom, great liberation!
Jun Xiaoyao murmured to himself.
"The heavens and earth are vast, but they cannot compare to my heart."
"Among the three thousand Daos, only I am free."
"My Dao is the path I intend to walk."
"My Dao is my name..."
"Xiaoyao!"
"My father once said that Immortal Ascension is easy, but freedom is hard, which is why my name is Xiaoyao."
"My Dao is to roam the world freely, transcending everything, unconstrained and unrestrained, following my heart's desires."
"The past, present, future, time and space, years, Karma, reality, illusion—no rules can bind me."
"This is the path I intend to walk!"
"This is the Dao I intend to prove!"
"My Dao is the Dao of Carefree!"
As Jun Xiaoyao spoke his final words, he fully understood everything.
I have an immortal heart, long locked away by the toil of the world.
Today, the dust is gone and the light shines forth, illuminating the mountains and rivers in their myriad forms!
Jun Xiaoyao finally saw his path clearly.
His path was right beneath his feet!
Following Jun Xiaoyao's realization.
An unprecedented aura of the Dao emerged from Jun Xiaoyao's body.
That was not the Dao of heaven and earth, but one that belonged to Jun Xiaoyao...
The Dao of Carefree!
Boom!
The lightning cage that had confined Jun Xiaoyao shattered instantly!
The imprints of those supreme existences that were attacking him were also silently wiped away under the ripples of this Dao!
An unprecedented, mysterious Dao aura spread from Jun Xiaoyao as the center, permeating the heavens and the firmament!
A new Dao was born!
And at the moment Jun Xiaoyao comprehended the Dao of Carefree.
The entire world seemed to fall into silence.
Even that terrifying, boundless Heavenly Tribulation was scattered, as if it had sensed some kind of fear!
This Dao made the heavens tremble in fear!
Not only that.
Everyone saw with shock.
The heavens and earth, the Universe and the firmament, all Laws and Daos seemed to fall silent at this moment!
Everyone discovered with shock that for an instant.
Just when the Dao aura emanated from Jun Xiaoyao.
They were unable to utilize the power of the Laws of the world!
What did this represent?
It meant that when Jun Xiaoyao proved his Dao and birthed his own,
His Dao suppressed all the Daos of the heavens!
Although it was only for a very short moment, it was terrifying enough!
When one Dao emerges, all other Daos submit!
This was the unique Dao of self that Jun Xiaoyao had transformed into after comprehending the true meaning of his self!
My Dao is the Dao of Carefree!
Boom!
The Lightning Tribulation across the sky collapsed at this moment!
Jun Xiaoyao raised his palm, and the countless Lightning Tribulations turned into a torrent, washing over his body and transforming into the purest energy.
Then, the many foundations within his body were all stimulated at this moment!
The amount of treasure and Opportunity energy that Jun Xiaoyao had refined was immense.
At this moment, they were all activated, and the torrent of energy was unimaginably vast!
Even the immortal medicine he had obtained, the feathered immortal lotus, was refined at this moment, becoming the resources and foundation for his becoming an Emperor!
Jun Xiaoyao's Physical Body broke through completely in almost an instant!
One hundred million Sumeru World condensed within his body!
Jun Xiaoyao had achieved Emperor Realm with his Physical Body!
Not only that, but his Realm aura also surged like a geyser at this moment!
An incomparably brilliant radiance emerged from the center of Jun Xiaoyao's eyebrows, shining upon the great thousand worlds and illuminating the vastness!
That was precisely the radiance of the Emperor Dao!
This Emperor Dao radiance was too brilliant and intense, as if it illuminated every corner of the world.
Even in every Universe and world of the Boundless Sea, this incomparably brilliant radiance could be seen.
It was billions of times brighter than the sun!
And within this brilliant Emperor Dao radiance.
A figure in white stepped across the vastness.
The various Laws and powers on Jun Xiaoyao's body also began to transform into Emperor Realm Laws.
That kind of understanding and application of Laws and the Dao.
Was fundamentally two completely different worlds compared to below the Emperor Realm.
And the number of Laws Jun Xiaoyao comprehended surged directly from six hundred to one thousand!
This was because when Jun Xiaoyao comprehended the Dao of Carefree, he drew inferences and immediately comprehended many Law principles.
Of the three thousand Daos, Jun Xiaoyao now occupied one-third!
Meanwhile, Jun Xiaoyao's Inner Universe was also surging.
The Inner Universe was a world belonging to Jun Xiaoyao, not restricted by external rules.
So this surge was also extremely terrifying.
It surged directly from three hundred Minor Thousand Worlds to six hundred, doubling in size!
However, such an Opportunity was too rare, refining billions of Lightning Tribulations while simultaneously comprehending his own Dao.
Only under such extreme circumstances could Jun Xiaoyao directly expand by another three hundred Minor Thousand Worlds.
It could be said that even those Emperors who had cultivated their Inner Universes for a long time in the Emperor Realm would definitely not have an Inner Universe as vast as Jun Xiaoyao's.
Of course, the most important thing was naturally Jun Xiaoyao's own Realm.
His body had transformed into an Emperor's body.
The Laws he comprehended and his Inner Universe had all been greatly improved.
But the most important thing was still Jun Xiaoyao's Realm.
The Emperor Dao radiance on his body was surging and incomparably intense.
An unimaginably vast might erupted from his body, causing the Dao sounds of heaven and earth to rumble, and all Daos were suppressed and collapsed!
This was the might belonging to an Emperor!
And by his side were the Great Luo Sword Embryo and the cauldron of all-things mother qi.
These two divine weapons had endured the baptism of the Lightning Tribulation and had devoured many ancestral artifacts and Dao Artifacts.
At this moment, they were gleaming with divine light, with a spiritual glow appearing, and their aura was even more terrifying than before.
The sword embryo was sharp, cutting through the Yellow Springs.
The emperor tripod was heavy, suppressing the six directions and the eight wastelands.
Jun Xiaoyao directly inscribed his own Dao onto the two divine weapons.
This was his Dao.
These two weapons would also become his Dao-proving artifacts.
Two ancient characters appeared on the cauldron of all-things mother qi.
One was "Xiao", the other was "Yao".
From then on, the cauldron of all-things mother qi had a new name.
xiaoyao emperor tripod!
"My Dao of Carefree should be able to transform into a true technique in the future."
"And it will definitely not be weaker than the He-Hua Zi-Zai Technique."
Jun Xiaoyao's eyes were bright.
He had confidence that in the future, he would be able to comprehend a truly invincible technique from his Dao, capable of suppressing everything and being invincible in the world!
The heavens and the Universe were filled with Emperor might.
Jun Xiaoyao had become the center of the entire Boundless Sea at this moment.
He stepped across the Universe and the firmament, holding the Great Luo Sword Embryo in his hand and the xiaoyao emperor tripod beneath his feet.
The radiance of the Emperor Dao shone upon all worlds!
The supreme Emperor might surpassed all Emperors of the past and present!
Everyone was looking up at Jun Xiaoyao at this moment, filled with deep shock and amazement.
They could feel that aura of great freedom!
It was unknown who spoke first, bowing deeply to Jun Xiaoyao.
"We respectfully welcome Emperor Xiaoyao!"
As this sentence spread.
Then, there was a second person.
A third person.
And then, the Boundless Sea army and countless Cultivators and living beings all bowed together!
Even Emperor-level figures cupped their hands, their eyes filled with emotion and respect.
Jun Xiaoyao had survived the most terrifying Emperor Realm tribulation in history, which could be called unparalleled in the past and present, worthy of their bow.
"Respectfully welcome Emperor Xiaoyao!"
The grand voice shook the Abyss of Eternal Darkness and resounded throughout the entire No Mans Land!
This sound even reached outside the No Mans Land.
Every world, Universe, and countless Cultivators and living beings heard the heaven-shaking cheers coming from the No Mans Land.
They also seemed to understand something.
They knew who was fighting against the source of the Black Calamity.
In the end, the entire Boundless Sea, countless worlds, countless Universes, countless Cultivators, and countless living beings.
All sentient existences and feeling beings bowed and cupped their hands in the direction of the No Mans Land.
The sound of mountains calling and seas roaring converged into an unstoppable torrent, resounding through the Boundless Sea!
All living beings bowed in worship!
All spirits kowtowed!
The whole world chanted his true name!
"Respectfully welcome Emperor Xiaoyao!!!"
