The gods returned in disarray from the desolate fringes of the Divine Realm.
The Sea God wiped divine blood from the corner of his mouth, exclaiming in shock:
"Has the Sword Lord's combat power already reached such a terrifying level?!"
"Just the residual might transmitted through the Heaven-Peering Mirror was enough to repel all of us?!"
The gods looked at one another in silence.
Only their ragged breathing echoed through the void.
"Could it be…"
one god murmured,
"that what the Sword Lord God King said before was true?"
"That he truly can, by himself, resolve this spacetime storm?"
"There is still hope!"
Ji Dong swept his gaze across the gods.
"The Sword Lord is fighting to carve out a future for the Divine Realm. We, too, must pour everything we have into ensuring its survival!"
"All gods—accelerate the construction of the Divine Realm's defenses!"

Within the dragon nest,
golden and silver dragon blood intermingled inside Li Zhexian's body.
The two primal forces—mutually generating yet mutually restraining—collided and fused repeatedly, ultimately transforming into a gold-and-silver bloodstream flowing with brilliant starlight.
Boom—boom—boom—boom!
Boom—boom—boom—boom!
A pressure surpassing all living beings swept across heaven and earth.
The Star Dou Forest, the Extreme North, and even the distant seas—
countless Spirit Beasts knelt in worship, offering the highest reverence to this awakened supreme bloodline.
Li Zhexian clenched his fist.
Cracks instantly tore through the surrounding space.
He could clearly feel it—
his physical body was undergoing a heaven-shaking transformation.
But in the next instant,
Li Zhexian's expression changed abruptly.
The complete fusion of the Silver Dragon King and Golden Dragon King bloodlines had awakened something slumbering in the deepest layers of that blood—
the Dragon God's Origin.
In a moment of trance,
he saw an ancient colossal dragon spanning the galaxy.
Stars flowed between its claws, and with every opening and closing of its dragon eyes, tidal waves rippled through the star river.
This power was tyrannical beyond measure, attempting to forcibly temper his Flawless Glazed Body into a Dragon God body.
"Delusional!"
Sharp light surged into Li Zhexian's eyes.
"The Flawless Glazed Body was forged by my own hands, step by step from obscurity—how could I allow another bloodline to dominate it?!"
Glazed divine radiance erupted violently, clashing head-on with the gold-and-silver divine brilliance.
"Even a complete Dragon God bloodline is nothing more than fuel for my attainment of the supreme treasure body!"
"Refine it for me!"
Rumble—rumble!
Rumble—rumble!
The glazed radiance burst forth again,
engaging in a fierce struggle with the gold-and-silver divine light.
Slowly…
the glazed radiance and the gold-and-silver brilliance intertwined around him, forming a cocoon of light that swallowed all traces of aura.
The dragon nest fell into silence.
—
Time passed unnoticed in the mountains; cold and heat cycled twice.
Deep within the dragon nest,
the cocoon of light had been overgrown by lush vegetation.
The Divine Butterfly and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion chased and played beside it.
In the past, this sacred land would never have allowed them to set foot here.
However, too much time had passed. Di Tian was ultimately worried and broke protocol to investigate, discovering this light cocoon.
"Li Zhexian…"
The Divine Butterfly's clear, childlike voice was like a forest spring.
Scattering starlight as it spoke softly:
"When will you come out of seclusion?"
At the entrance of the dragon nest,
Di Tian and the Five Great Ferocious Beasts stood guard.
"Roar!"
A dark-gold giant bear tens of meters tall spoke slowly.
Its arms, long enough to reach the ground, swayed slightly—its palms as heavy as small mountains.
"For our lord to willingly become a human's spirit soul… is it really worth it…?"
This was none other than the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear—
a peerless ferocious beast of the Star Dou Forest, second only to Di Tian, cultivated for four hundred and seventy thousand years.
"Impudent!"
Di Tian's gaze turned icy as a dragon claw extended from his black robe.
That claw seemed to contain heaven and earth within it,
emanating terrifying might that surpassed mortal limits.
Rip—
The dragon claw tore through the void and slammed heavily into Bear Lord.
A wound so deep that bone was visible ran from Bear Lord's shoulder all the way down to his right leg, nearly tearing his entire body apart.
Boom!
Bear Lord crashed into the wall of the underground palace, sending dust and debris billowing into the air.
Di Tian flicked his sleeve.
A barrier instantly enveloped the surroundings,
completely isolating all sound and vibration,
ensuring that the cocoon of light would not be disturbed.
"Bear Lord—how dare you question the Lord's decision?"
Murderous intent flared within Di Tian's dark-gold dragon eyes.
"No matter how much hatred you harbor toward humans, the one within that cocoon has done more for the Spirit Beast race than can ever be repaid."
"He is worthy of being revered by all Spirit Beasts for generations to come."
"If you dare speak disrespectfully again, do not blame me for showing no mercy."
"I misspoke."
Bear Lord struggled out of the ruins, a trace of fear flashing through his eyes.
The other four ferocious beasts remained silent.
Under normal circumstances,
they might have tried to dissuade Di Tian.
But today was different.
Bear Lord had truly crossed the line.
The killing intent radiating from Di Tian at this moment was far colder and more terrifying than when Bear Lord had once injured him.
Just then—
Crack, crack!
Crack, crack!
A series of crisp, fine cracking sounds suddenly echoed through the dragon nest.
Di Tian and the five ferocious beasts turned sharply, fixing their gazes on the long-silent cocoon of light.
They saw—
on the surface of the cocoon,
countless fractures rapidly spreading.
Indescribable chaotic light burst forth from the cracks.
Di Tian waved his hand,
pulling the Divine Butterfly and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion back behind him through the air.
He then led the beasts to retreat a thousand meters away, holding their breath as they stared at the cocoon.
Crack—crack—BOOM!!!
When the cracks covered it completely,
the cocoon exploded apart,
shattering into a sky full of crystalline light rain.
A figure slowly stepped out from the boundless radiance.
Li Zhexian stood quietly in place.
Ancient glazed divine light flowed endlessly around his body.
His physique was flawless and immaculate—
even each strand of hair shimmered faintly with starlight.
"Phew..." With just a natural breath, the space in front of him distorted and then buckled and shattered.
All laws cannot invade; all evils are repelled! The physical body has achieved sainthood; indestructible through ten thousand tribulations!
No words were needed, no pressure released—
his very presence proclaimed the consummation of this supreme physical realm.
Di Tian was the first to drop to one knee.
His low voice carried uncontrollable reverence:
"Congratulations on your emergence, my lord—your supreme treasure body is complete!"
Behind him, the five ferocious beasts also lowered their heads, not daring to look up.
"Congratulations, my lord, on emerging from seclusion—your supreme treasure body has reached completion!"
At that moment,
countless Spirit Beasts once again knelt in worship,
crying out to the heavens in exhilaration.
"Brother—you actually refined the Dragon God's bloodline!" A silver dragon spirit descended and landed on Li Zhexian's shoulder.
Di Tian and the ferocious beasts stiffened, preparing to kneel once more.
"Seeing my Brother is like seeing me. You may all rise."
Li Zhexian brushed his sleeve lightly.
A gentle force lifted Di Tian and the five beasts to their feet.
"The Dragon God bloodline truly is tyrannical, and precisely because of that, what I gained this time far exceeds expectations."
Feeling the unprecedented completeness and strength within his body, a faint smile appeared at the corner of his lips.
The vision he had conceived long ago had finally become reality.
The Myriad-Forms Immortal Body was at last fully perfected.
From this day forth,
the myriad laws of heaven and earth and all forms of attributes could no longer harm him in the slightest.
With this body alone, he could suppress the Divine Realm's God Kings.
Even when speaking purely of the ultimate limit of physical strength,
not even the Dragon God's true body of old could compare to his present immortal physique.
"Although the final sword has yet to be comprehended…"
"With my current strength, facing the spacetime storm, I should have a few chances of victory now."
