Meng Hao suddenly shot up into the air, flying up into the Heavens as everyone watched.
“Immortal Tribulation! Why haven’t you made your move yet!?” Meng Hao’s expression was as calm as ever, but his desire to do battle grew even stronger. His voice echoed out in all directions, piercing the Tribulation Clouds, causing a huge indentation to appear in the layers of clouds. The power of his voice smashed into the clouds, hewing out a huge hole.
What appeared next was… A Door of Immortality with a breathtaking aura, descending from the starry sky.
This Door of Immortality was enormous, so large that Planet East Victory seemed like a toddler in front of it. Boundless Immortal light surged out, and countless magical symbols glittered on its face. The clouds scattered as the enormous door came to rest in front of Planet East Victory.
This Door of Immortality was larger than any other Door of Immortality which had appeared during a true Immortal Ascension!
When Fang Wei saw the Door of Immortality, his face went pale. The Door of Immortality that he had faced wasn’t even ten percent as large as this door!
Furthermore, when the Door of Immortality appeared, numerous gigantic palaces flew out from the clouds. They looked like heavenly palaces, and stretched out seemingly without limit. It wasn’t just the people on Planet East Victory who could see them. Everyone on the other three planets were also able to use various methods to observe.
The boundless palaces, each one incredibly huge, emanated Immortal might throughout the Ninth Mountain and Sea. The Ninth Mountain trembled and the Ninth Sea raged. All of the cultivators of the various sects and clans, even the Patriarchs, were thoroughly shocked.
In the Ninth Sea God World, the old woman standing next to Fan Dong’er took a deep breath as she finally understood.
“That Door of Immortality… Those Immortal Palaces…. I understand!” she thought. “He’s not using an Immortality Illumination Vine, he’s… reaching Immortal Ascension on his own! This kid has incredible willpower! What determination! What destiny!!”
She wasn’t the only one who understood what was happening. The other Patriarchs of the various sects and clans all reached the same enlightenment, and were completely shaken.
“If the Heavens approve, well and good. If they don’t want to, they’ll still be forced to acknowledge an Immortal who verifies their own Dao and reaches Immortal Ascension on their own. No wonder the Tribulation Clouds are so huge!
“From ancient times until now in the Nine Mountains and Seas, people who verify their own Dao in such a way are incredibly rare. Only Kṣitigarbha, Lord of the Fourth Mountain and Sea, ever verified his Dao on his own, and eternally suppressed the underworld!”
In that very moment, far out in the starry sky of the Ninth Mountain and Sea, a woman in a white robe sat in an Immortal’s cave somewhere in the Ruins of Immortality. This was the same woman who had appointed Meng Hao as 13th in the Echelon. Her eyes suddenly opened, and she looked off into the distance.
“Paragon Immortal….” she murmured. A rarely seen light suddenly flickered in her eyes.
