"Clang!"
"Clang!"
Chen Jiuyang's physical body seemed to be tempered and purified by heaven and earth, emitting a 'clang' sound.
Everything he had gained from the deductions of the Creation Heavenly Mechanism Jade Plate, these five great divine abilities, had supported Chen Jiuyang to reach the peak of half-step Imperial Dao.
The five primal divine abilities, representing gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, began to dissipate, as if forging a furnace.
But they stopped halfway through their dissipation.
"The path of Myriad Manifestations Unification, I have chosen correctly..."
Chen Jiuyang felt the true liquid spiritual power within his body. His five great Dao repositories, the divine palaces, began to cease their operation of reciting scriptures, as if hibernating, slumbering.
The five primal origins and laws, which were previously independent, began to converge. They were no longer in a state where a slight shift could cause collisions and explosions.
Seeing heaven and earth, seeing all beings, seeing oneself... this was the myriad manifestations. Unifying them into one, Chen Jiuyang had created a unique state for himself.
"Heaven and Man Unification is the state of the Way of the Soldier, while this Myriad Manifestations Unification is my unique state for the Dao of Origin."
"Combat power has advanced once more."
The cultivation of the twelfth level of the Venerable Realm, which had been stagnant for a long time, surged forward at this moment.
"Swish swish swish!"
His aura advanced by leaps and bounds. With the five primal origins within him, Chen Jiuyang's martial foundation was deeper than any contemporary prodigy present. In just a few breaths, his martial cultivation naturally progressed to the thirteenth level of the Venerable Realm.
At this moment, Chen Jiuyang had a premonition.
His forging furnace was extraordinary, not like the forging furnaces of ordinary martial artists.
The forging furnace of the five primal origins was unprecedented.
The unique destiny that came with the Human Emperor's path gave Chen Jiuyang a feeling.
If successful, Chen Jiuyang could break records.
If unsuccessful, he would perish.
"The forging furnace, the sliver of chance to achieve the Dao, lies in Myriad Manifestations Unification."
"Back then, I pursued Heaven and Man Unification. In the dream world of Princess Shile, I transformed into an ordinary person and only managed to complete it on my deathbed."
"Now, the Dao Rhyme Platform is here. Should I choose the Dao Rhyme Platform or walk through Princess Shile's dream world again?"
When Chen Jiuyang received the recognition of the young Suigu Emperor, the path of the Human King had been completely traversed.
Chen Jiuyang looked up. Outside this sacred city, there were still endless demon races. Myriad teleportation arrays flickered with light at all times, and countless human prodigies rushed forward to kill demons.
Ming Chengdao and Qi Degui looked at Chen Jiuyang:
"Brother Chen, how is it?"
"Big brother, do you have any ideas for forging the furnace?"
Chen Jiuyang said, "I have a little, but not much."
"Thank you for your good intentions."
"Since I have finished forging the furnace and traversed the path of the Human King, I can leave this place and go to the Mortal Realm to advance to the Imperial Dao. We will meet again in the Mortal Realm, and then we will walk the Ancient Emperor's Path together."
These two people had finished forging their furnaces and remained here to prevent Chen Jiuyang from being ambushed by other prodigies. If anyone were to attack Chen Jiuyang, they could protect him immediately.
After speaking, Chen Jiuyang found the young Suigu Emperor, who was killing demons, and asked, "Can I use the Dao Rhyme Platform again?"
The young Suigu Emperor glanced at Chen Jiuyang and said with a smile, "In each city, each person can only use the Dao Rhyme Platform once..."
"But you are similar to me. I can sense that you seem to have a deep karma with me. According to reason, in the same era, it is impossible for a similar flower to appear. The path you walk is extremely similar to mine, but your karma with me seems to be not in this era. I have observed you for a long time... I can make an exception once."
"Accumulate enough merit, and you can use the Dao Rhyme Platform again."
Hearing the words of the young Suigu Emperor, Chen Jiuyang's heart trembled. The young Suigu Emperor could sense a deep karma with him? The young Suigu Emperor's appearance was exactly the same as Emperor Yan.
The final trial in the Human King's Path, the illusionary checkpoint, was not as simple as it appeared on the surface. Was the Suigu Emperor who appeared here not an artifact spirit illusion?
Could it be the true spirit imprint of the Suigu Emperor?
Impossible...
How many tens of thousands of years has it been since the Suigu Emperor appeared? If his true spirit imprint could be preserved until now, wouldn't he have lived longer than an immortal?
Unless Emperor Yan was truly the reincarnation of the Suigu Emperor... their true spirit origins were consistent. Emperor Yan's birth had stirred his past life's true spirit?
If that were the case, Emperor Yan would be even more important than he had imagined.
The Suigu Emperor was the first human Emperor to reach the peak of martial arts. Emperor Yan, in this life, had also created the system of Envoys, a system that astonished all ages and broke the constraints of the five great holy lands. Even Chen Jiuyang could not imagine how he had achieved it.
However, who could answer this question for him? It was probably the people in the village of the elderly...
Chen Jiuyang suppressed the many thoughts in his heart, took a deep breath, and said, "Thank you... Your Majesty..."
The young Suigu Emperor looked at him deeply, smiled, and said nothing more.
Chen Jiuyang abandoned the state of Heaven and Man Unification, and naturally could no longer use divine abilities like Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Intent, unless he abandoned his current Myriad Manifestations Unification and returned to Heaven and Man Unification.
But in his current Myriad Manifestations Unification, Chen Jiuyang could feel that his combat power was stronger than before.
Why?
The Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Intent of Heaven and Man Unification was a move that borrowed from heaven and earth when luck was on his side.
But in his current Myriad Manifestations Unification, Chen Jiuyang himself was the Heavenly Intent!
Besides using a saber, Chen Jiuyang indeed preferred the Heavenly Intent Four Symbols Arrow.
He extended his arm, and a great bow materialized, becoming even more simple and unadorned: "Heavenly Intent Four Symbols Arrow - Myriad Manifestations!"
As the arrow was shot, the great bow erupted with the phenomena of spring, summer, autumn, winter, wind, rain, thunder, lightning, birth, aging, sickness, and death. Then!
It condensed into an indescribable and unspeakable sense of Heavenly Intent, containing Chen Jiuyang's personal martial will.
With one arrow shot, heaven and earth lost their color!
The sense of compression and pressure from heaven and earth was even stronger.
"Bang bang bang!"
Wherever the arrow passed, the bodies of the demonic beasts immediately exploded into bloody mist.
One arrow shot, ten thousand demons annihilated!
Invincible sweep!
Until...
A great demon, transformed into human form, raised its hand and shattered Chen Jiuyang's arrow. The arrow stopped here.
From a great distance, Chen Jiuyang saw the eyes of the human-shaped great demon, which shocked him: "There is no mistake, it is the petrified demon statue I saw when I entered the twelfth city!"
Only when demonic races reach the Imperial Dao cultivation level can they refine themselves into human form. Their physical bodies may change, but their aura and pupils will not.
As soon as this human-shaped great demon appeared, the young Suigu Emperor said, "Retreat from the Dao Rhyme Platform. This troublesome old demon is not someone you can deal with at your current level."
"This twelfth city hides too many secrets..."
Chen Jiuyang glanced deeply at the great demon, which gave him a feeling of heart palpitations. Being able to shatter his Myriad Manifestations divine ability in the Myriad Manifestations Unification state with one hand meant that he was at least beyond the level of a peerless mighty being, reaching the level of a Martial Saint.
"Time waits for no one... let's see if I can forge the martial furnace this time..."
Chen Jiuyang turned and flew towards the Dao Rhyme Platform again, then sat on it. The Dao Rhyme of heaven and earth immediately flowed and intertwined.
