Chapter 510 - 449: So What?!

GULP.

As the Dao Fruit Golden Core entered his abdomen, an indescribably majestic yet warm torrent of Chaos Color radiance instantly swept through every fiber of Qi Yun’s being, reaching every corner of his Purple Mansion Divine Soul!

BOOM!!!

An unprecedented, supreme sense of power—one that could command everything and see through all creation—explosively bloomed within his consciousness! He felt his perception being infinitely magnified and elevated!

Without even needing to use his Divine Sense, with just a slight stir of his Heart Thought, the vast outline of the entire Profound Yellow Origin Realm, the flow of its mountains and rivers, the circulation of its Earth Vein Spiritual Mechanisms, and even the Cause and Effect Threads entangled around billions upon billions of living beings—as fine as dust yet intricately complex—all appeared before his "eyes" as clearly as reading the lines on his palm!

He felt that if he simply opened his hand and gently clenched it, he could grasp the Profound Yellow Origin Realm in his palm, shaping its life and death on a whim!

A single thought to birth all creation!

A single thought to extinguish Heaven and Earth!!

However...

"It’s still not enough..." Qi Yun slowly raised his eyes. His Chaos Color eyes, which reflected the myriad phenomena of the universes and the birth and death of cause and effect, gazed calmly and resolutely into the boundless depths of the Endless Celestial Vault.

THUMP!

He hesitated no longer. Slowly lifting his foot, he took a step forward into the seemingly empty void above!

BOOM!!!

The moment his foot landed, a terrifying, intensely muffled roar exploded outwards, sounding as if millions of miles of earth had pulsated at the exact same time! Centering on where his foot fell, visible ripples—thick as dragons and shimmering with a Chaos Color—spread and swept madly in all directions, much like the surface of an ancient well struck by a massive boulder!

CREAK!!!

With that single step, the entire boundless Profound Yellow Origin Realm visibly sank!

One step, and the realm sank!

THUMP! THUMP! THUMP!

Qi Yun’s expression remained placid. He took a second step, a third, a fourth... His pace was not fast, but it was as steady as a mountain and firm as iron! Every falling step released a world-shaking rumble!

As he walked upward step by step into the depths of the Endless Celestial Vault, the vast pressure surrounding him—which had been slightly leaking due to his newly formed Dao Fruit—began to automatically and continuously retract, condense, and purify! With every step, the pressure became heavier, more solid, and more profoundly restrained, while its true nature grew increasingly terrifying!

When the pressure around him had condensed to such a horrifying degree that the many Great Masters watching from below felt their Divine Souls threatening to split apart, leaving them with an overwhelming urge to kneel...

HUM...

Above Qi Yun’s head, deep within the Endless Celestial Vault that seemed to have lowered due to his skyward ascent, a bone-chilling, ruthlessly indifferent pale gray light suddenly flickered. At first, the light was merely the size of a bean, but it rapidly expanded and stretched. In the blink of an eye, it outlined an unimaginably massive, narrow, vertical slash of pale gray light across the Celestial Vault!

"Hm? This is..."

"The Will of Profound Yellow?! It’s... been alarmed?!"

Within the All Marvelous Heaven, the expressions of the True Monarchs who had been closely monitoring the lower realm collectively tightened the moment the pale gray light appeared!

"Just as expected... the path this boy walks is too domineering and arrogant. The Will of Heaven refuses to permit it." Qingyuan Dao Seeking True Monarch stood with his hands behind his back. His usually placid face now revealed a rare, incomparably solemn expression.

BOOM!

The moment the Eye of the Celestial Vault fully opened and cast down its icy gaze, Qi Yun’s steadily ascending steps—which looked ready to scale the highest heavens—suddenly stalled! An overwhelming, unquestionable, and terrifying pressure crashed down onto his shoulders like the collapse of the ancient blue sky!

CRACK...

Crushed by the pressure of the Will of Heaven, the void around Qi Yun wailed like shattering porcelain, revealing countless pitch-black, cobweb-like fissures. He tilted his head back, meeting the Eye of the Celestial Vault that reflected the billions of years of rise and fall of the Profound Yellow.

WHOOSH...

Qi Yun gently let out a breath. This breath also carried a Chaos Color radiance, slightly dispersing the invisible pressure bearing down on him.

"Truly worthy of being the will of the Profound Yellow Origin Realm, which has nurtured thousands of Cultivators and witnessed the rise and fall of countless True Monarchs," Qi Yun murmured to himself, a trace of genuine awe in his tone. "Compared to the Wills of Heaven in those Outer Realms, it’s like a firefly to the radiant moon, a buzzing fly to a True Dragon!"

After his soft sigh, the corners of Qi Yun’s mouth curled up, revealing a calm smile.

"However...

"So what?"

The instant his voice faded...

THUMP!!!

Qi Yun’s right foot—which had been slightly stalled by the suppression of Heaven’s Will—fiercely stepped forward once again, stomping down heavily!

RUMBLE!!!

This step was like lighting the final fuse of a powder keg! The entire Endless Celestial Vault was thoroughly enraged!

That pale gray Eye of the Celestial Vault suddenly erupted with blinding light. Within its icy pupil, endless pale gray lightning surged out like a volcano that had been suppressed for eons, transforming into a vast ocean of lightning that blotted out the sun and covered an unknown millions of miles of the Celestial Vault!

CRACK! CRACK! CRACK!!!

Within the sea of light, billions of terrifying, pale gray heavenly bolts of lightning—each as thick as a mountain range—roared and boomed like awakened, world-destroying wild dragons, producing deafening sounds that threatened to freeze the souls of all living beings!

Rolling thunder resounded through the universes. The horrifying, destructive pressure fell from the sky like a corporeal tsunami, frantically washing over and crushing everything below!

The pressure was so intense that it even pierced through the spatial barriers, causing the True Monarchs within the All Marvelous Heaven to feel a distinct numbness in their flesh and a stabbing pain in their Divine Souls!

"The Profound Yellow’s Heavenly Punishment... true world-destroying lightning!" a True Monarch cried out in a low voice, his eyes full of gravity.

Even a True Monarch would have to carefully deal with heavenly lightning of such scale and might! If one were to be completely engulfed by this sea of lightning head-on... the consequences would be unimaginable!
