Chapter 210 - 108 Heavenly Dao Runes and The Little Universe ( Dragon Bonus - II )

Chapter 210: 108 Heavenly Dao Runes and The Little Universe ( Dragon Bonus Chapter II )

The moment the word "Transcendence" appeared, the outside world suddenly became silent.

Completely silent.

Even the spiritual energy stopped flowing for a brief moment. Even the frightened cries of millions of living beings seemed to be swallowed by an invisible hand.

Then the calamity cloud expanded again.

One hundred and ten miles!

The entire sky above Jade City and the surrounding land turned dark purple. The clouds pressed down their aura so much so that it felt as if one could sense them they would be blasted to pieces.

But this was not the most terrifying thing.

The most terrifying thing was the pressure that erupted from the deepest part of the heavens.

It was the pressure of the world itself rejecting an existence.

It was a literal world ending pressure!

The spiritual veins beneath the city started to crack little by little.

The protective formations of the Cloudwater Sect shattered layer by layer.

The mortals fainted one after another.

The cultivators below Core Formation spat mouthful of blood and they too collapsed.

Even Core Formation elders felt their knees soften, their souls trembling as if they were standing before the end of all life.

Zhao Wuji’s face turned deathly pale as he looked at the sky with eyes full of despair.

"This... this is not tribulation..."

His voice trembled. "This is an Execution. The heavens are executing someone!"

At the Heaven’s Table, Mei Hua’s expression finally changed greatly. The Nascent Soul pressure inside her body automatically surged out to protect the restaurant, but under that world ending pressure, even her aura seemed extremely small.

She looked toward the private courtyard as her fingers tightened to the extreme.

"Husband..."

Inside the seclusion room, Yu Liang still sat calmly.

Above his Soul Palace, the one hundred and first rune slowly appeared.

What even more Mysterious about this time was, It was colorless, It had no shape, It was like... a step leading outside the heavens.

The rune named Transcendence hovered above the already full Soul Palace, preparing to descend and at that exact moment, the entire Lower Realm seemed to open its eyes.

Inside the Sea of Consciousness, the 101st Heavenly Dao Rune, "Transcendence," finally descended.

It did not attach to the walls or the pillars. Instead, it hovered directly above the entire Soul Palace, acting as the ultimate canopy, the sky of this miniature world.

The moment it locked into place, a terrifying shockwave swept through Yu Liang’s mind.

But the other Heavenly Dao Runes were not just for some show, the backlash that would have instantly obliterated any expert was reduced to a gentle breeze.

"Continue," Yu Liang commanded as his eyes burned with even more madness. "Fill every last gap!"

One hundred and eight!

In the cultivation world, 108 was a sacred, one can even say a heaven defying number. It represented the 108 earthly afflictions, the 108 stars of destiny, and the complete cycle of the universe.

To have 108 Heavenly Dao Runes imprinted in a single Soul Palace was not just breaking the rules, it was like rewriting the very source code of the universe.

The moment the 108th rune, "Unity," locked into the very center of the "Transcendence", the Soul Palace underwent a terrifying, heaven shaking transformation.

CRACK!

A sound, like the breaking of a egg but a primordial egg echoed in the deepest part of Yu Liang.

The physical structure of the Soul Palace, like the the golden walls, the jade pillars, the spirit stone tiles suddenly shattered into countless motes of light.

But it did not collapse. Instead, those 108 supreme runes acted as the the new governing laws. They absorbed the shattered materials and expanded violently.

His Sea of Consciousness expanded a Hundredfold, then a Thousandfold, then One Hundred thousandfold!

Inside Yu Liang’s mind, a miniature universe was born.

The Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth runes formed the five great continents. The Wind, Thunder, and Lightning runes became the circulation needed for the atmosphere. The Sun, Moon, and Star runes ignited into celestial bodies, hanging high in the sky, casting eternal light.

The Life, Death, and Samsara runes formed the great river of reincarnation, flowing through the center of this inner world.

It was no longer just a Soul Palace. It was an Inner World embryo! A perfect, flawless micro universe governed entirely by Yu Liang’s will!

The changes immediately reflected into his physical body.

BOOOM!

Yu Liang’s body trembled violently. His skin turned translucent, and his blood began to boil. But it wasn’t the boiling of mortal blood, it was a qualitative evolution. His crimson blood turned into a thick, golden liquid, emitting a fragrant, medicinal aroma that instantly filled the seclusion room. Every drop of golden blood carried the weight of a mountain and the vitality of a divine dragon.

His bones turned into flawless jade, etched with natural Dao patterns. His meridians expanded, it was now no longer just channels for spiritual energy, but rivers of liquid Dao. The spiritual energy in his Dantian, originally was a swirling vortex inside his core, instantly compressed into a solid, blindingly bright Golden Core, making his already Core to absorb this new.

But this Golden Core was no longer just a core, it was the "Gate " of his inner universe, perfectly synchronized with the 108 Heavenly Dao Runes in his Sea of Consciousness.

Yu Liang slowly opened his eyes.

Flash!

For a brief second, one could literally see the reflection of the birth and destruction of stars, the flowing of the river of time, and the turning of the wheel of samsara.

He took a deep breath.

Whoosh!

The dense, liquid like spiritual energy in the seclusion room was instantly sucked into his lungs, but it wasn’t enough. He could feel that the spiritual energy of the entire Outer City, and even a portion of the Inner City, was involuntarily flowing toward his body through the pores of his skin.

He clenched his fist.

Crack!

The space around his fist actually fractured, revealing a tiny, black void before it quickly healed.

"Is this... the power of a perfect foundation?" Yu Liang muttered as a stunned but deeply satisfied smile appeared on his face.

He could feel it. His combat power had skyrocketed to an unquantifiable level. If he fought a normal Core Formation cultivator now, he wouldn’t need any artifacts or techniques. He could just crush them with the sheer weight of his aura alone.

Even a Nascent Soul grandmaster like Mei Hua, if they fought to the death, would find it incredibly difficult to break his absolute defense.

He had essentially turned his body into a supreme, walking divine artifact.
