Jun Xiaoyao's expression showed no surprise as he watched the descending karmic fire of ignorance.
Rather, it was within his expectations.
To forge a path forward without any risks was clearly a pipe dream.
Jun Xiaoyao was already mentally prepared.
"Fighting with Heaven, the joy is endless!"
Jun Xiaoyao looked up at the sky, his demeanor unrestrained.
His entire body surged with Immortal radiance, and the power of one hundred and forty great luo immortal bones was fully unleashed.
Dense Immortal light emanated, making Jun Xiaoyao appear like a banished Immortal who had not fallen into the Mortal World.
A ball of Immortal light transformed into a protective barrier, enveloping Jun Xiaoyao's form.
Not only that, Jun Xiaoyao also activated various defensive measures.
The Azure Sky Ancestral Dragon Armor, the Cloak of the Gods—Jun Xiaoyao utilized every defense he could.
Boom!
The karmic fire of ignorance descended, striking Jun Xiaoyao.
Its terrifying temperature was enough to incinerate all things.
Moreover, the most terrifying aspect was that this karmic fire of ignorance could also disturb one's mind and burn one's Soul.
Numerous twisted faces appeared before Jun Xiaoyao.
Long Haotian, Yang Pan, Fahai, Lin Feng, and others...
These enemies who had died by Jun Xiaoyao's hand seemed to have turned into malevolent spirits, seeking to claim his life.
The karmic fire of ignorance was the fire of sin; all the sins Jun Xiaoyao had committed would transform into karmic fire.
However, Jun Xiaoyao's expression remained indifferent.
"While alive, they were only fit to be ants beneath my feet. Can they really overturn the heavens after death?" Jun Xiaoyao calmly guarded his mind, completely unaffected.
Nor did he feel that he had done anything wrong by killing so many people.
A general's success is built upon ten thousand withered bones.
For Jun Xiaoyao to reach the Peak, he would inevitably step on countless corpses.
At present, this was just a small portion; in the future, he would only kill more people.
Watching Jun Xiaoyao withstand the karmic fire of ignorance, even Ji Qingyi and Wangchuan were slightly stunned.
If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they would never have believed that someone in the Guiyi Realm could withstand a tribulation meant for the Godly Fire Realm.
"Oh my goodness, Brother Xiaoyao is too amazing!" Little Devil Fairy's beautiful eyes sparkled with continuous brilliance.
If not seen with one's own eyes, who could believe it?
Originally, Little Devil Fairy and the others did not believe that Jun Xiaoyao could forge that path.
But now, they began to waver.
Perhaps, they would witness a miracle with their own eyes.
Jun Xiaoyao sat cross-legged on the stone platform, with the karmic fire of ignorance burning around him, yet he remained as steady as a fisherman on a fishing platform.
Jun Xiaoyao was deducing and planning; various laws of order, the patterns of all things' evolution, churned in his mind.
The ten clusters of World Origin around him were absorbed into Jun Xiaoyao's Dantian.
Jun Xiaoyao was not trying to transform the Ten Realms Origin into an Immortal Seed.
Instead, he intended to use the Ten Realms Origin as nourishment to comprehend his own Dao.
Gradually, the ten clusters of World Origin merged within his Dantian, forming a Chaos-like seed.
This seed could be called the Ten Realms Immortal Seed.
If one were to Rank the countless Immortal Seeds throughout history,
this Ten Realms Immortal Seed would definitely Rank among the top three.
This was an Immortal Seed formed by the Fusion of the Origin power of the ten worlds of the Lower Realm; its power was simply Heaven-Defying.
It could be said that Jun Xiaoyao could now directly refine this Ten Realms Immortal Seed.
He would receive unimaginable enhancements; once he completed the Fusion and Breakthrough, Jun Xiaoyao would immediately become the most dazzling Prodigy among his peers!
"What a powerful Immortal Seed!"
Feeling the terrifying fluctuations of the Ten Realms Immortal Seed within Jun Xiaoyao's body,
Little Devil Fairy, Ji Qingyi, Wangchuan, and the others all showed surprise in their eyes.
The Immortal Seeds they possessed were also very Advanced.
But compared to the Ten Realms Immortal Seed, they immediately paled by more than a single Rank.
"If I could obtain the Ten Realms Origin and fuse the Ten Realms Immortal Seed, how powerful would that be?" Wangchuan sighed, a hint of unwillingness in his heart.
Unfortunately, he failed to obtain the Ten Realms Origin.
However, to Wangchuan and the others' astonishment, Jun Xiaoyao did not choose to fuse the Ten Realms Immortal Seed.
He was using the Ten Realms Immortal Seed as nourishment to comprehend his own Dao.
"Brother Xiaoyao is too courageous. If it were me, I probably would have fused the Ten Realms Immortal Seed long ago," Little Devil Fairy exclaimed with admiration.
It was as if there was a clear, broad path before Jun Xiaoyao, but he chose not to take it.
Instead, he insisted on forging his own path.
Few Prodigies would undertake such a thankless task, and they wouldn't dare to.
Because doing so could very likely invite heavenly punishment and great terror.
Wangchuan had given up for this very reason before.
This karmic fire of ignorance was merely the prelude.
Rumble!
As Jun Xiaoyao deepened his comprehension,
his Dantian seemed to be creating Heaven and Earth, with a primal power of the Universe Chaos permeating it.
That power seemed not to belong to this Heaven and Earth; it was born out of nothing from within Jun Xiaoyao's body.
Any Immortal Seed, regardless of its Rank, is born from this Heaven and Earth.
Therefore, no matter how Heaven-Defying an Immortal Seed is, there would be no problems after refining it.
For example, the Ten Realms Immortal Seed, though Heaven-Defying, would not incur the wrath of the heavens.
But now it was different.
Within Jun Xiaoyao's Dantian, an energy was born out of thin air.
This energy did not belong to this Heaven and Earth.
It was an energy that Jun Xiaoyao had spontaneously comprehended and evolved.
To Heaven and Earth, this was an anomaly, and it would incur heavenly wrath.
As expected, the moment this energy was born,
Heaven and Earth changed color, wind and clouds surged, thunder rumbled, and waves crashed like a tide.
"What's going on?"
On the altar, all the Prodigies felt a palpitation, as if they were about to face the end of the world.
Rumble!
In the sky, dark clouds gathered, and then, streaks of colorful Lightning appeared.
"This is... the Saint Tribulation?"
When they saw the colorful Lightning, all the Prodigies' minds buzzed, and they fell into a daze.
The colorful Lightning Tribulation was the tribulation for becoming a Saint, usually occurring when one was Undergoing Tribulation to become a Saint.
This kind of tribulation posed a great threat even to Saints, let alone Jun Xiaoyao.
This was simply not giving Jun Xiaoyao any chance to live.
Jiang Luoli, Yi Yu, and Yan Qingying's expressions changed dramatically.
They found it hard to remain calm, because this was simply Heaven itself wanting Jun Xiaoyao to die, unwilling to give him any way out.
"Indeed, this is a dead end. No one can break through it," Wangchuan muttered, but a strange sense of relief washed over him.
With Jun Xiaoyao present, all the Prodigies of this era would struggle to breathe.
If Jun Xiaoyao were to fall, it would be as if a great mountain pressing down on all Prodigies had been shattered.
Looking at the colorful Lightning Tribulation that was about to descend, Jun Xiaoyao also let out a deep breath.
"I didn't expect Heaven to think so highly of me," Jun Xiaoyao chuckled.
The more it was like this, the more he could prove that the path he was taking was not wrong.
Jun Xiaoyao did not stop, continuing to evolve the scene of creating Heaven and Earth and giving birth to Chaos within his Dantian.
Boom!
Finally, the colorful Lightning Tribulation seemed to transform into a colorful True Dragon, plummeting down and striking Jun Xiaoyao!
The power of this Lightning strike was enough to easily kill a Saint!
