Tyrannical Song and that handsome scoundrel should have jointly proven their Dao… Logically, proving the Dao should take even longer.

But it didn’t!

Even under normal circumstances when the Heavenly Dao begins to prove the Dao, and until the proving process completes, it requires a certain amount of time.

In the past, the Fourth Heavenly Dao ‘Dark Giant’ suffered in this respect—the handsome scoundrel, halfway through the lengthy ‘proving process,’ suddenly quit and then passed the ‘Heavenly Dao seat’ to Daoist Priest Virtue.

But now, Tyrannical Song and the handsome scoundrel, proving the Dao together, not only did not extend the time of the ‘proving process,’ but significantly shortened the proving time.

From start to finish, it took roughly only about one-third of the normal Heavenly Dao ‘proving process’ time!

At this moment, the Fourth Heavenly Dao ‘Dark Giant’ felt the world’s profound malice towards it.

Its gaze, unwillingly, fell upon Tyrannical Song and the handsome scoundrel, who had both ‘completed proving the Dao.’

…

At this time, Song Shuhang’s body detached from that ‘Reincarnation Seal’ state.

A portion of the ‘immortal sand’ was sent into the VIP reincarnation channel opened by the Fifth Heavenly Dao Fairy—unfortunately, because Song Shuhang’s proving process concluded early, the Reincarnation Seal’s ‘VIP cycle Soul Ferrying’ skill was interrupted, so the immortal sand of the Dark Sun, along with some remnants, still existed in the world.

After being pulled out of the Reincarnation Seal, Song Shuhang immediately transferred Sixteen to the main world to keep her away from any potential threats.

Along with the pendants on him and the pendants that had been transferred to Senior White and the others previously, all were moved to the main world.

—Now it was time to enter the ‘Heavenly Dao Rules Core’ process, and he could no longer carry the pendants on him.

Even his life-bound magical treasure could only remain in the dantian during this phase.

Senior White’s Meteor Sword was likewise retracted into the space of the dantian.

Next, Song Shuhang and Senior White began to ascend.

This scene was projected to myriad practitioners in the universe.

It let all cultivators in Myriad Realms + Netherworld Realm know that a new Heavenly Dao had been born!

…

The Fourth Heavenly Dao ‘Dark Giant’ felt unwillingness, but the other party had already completed the ‘proving process’ and was in a mode of ‘about to wield the Will,’ making them no longer susceptible to external interference.

It could only stare at Tyrannical Song, unable to intervene anymore.

After staring at Tyrannical Song for a while… its sleepy, tired brain suddenly had a flash of insight.

It guessed the main reason Tyrannical Song and the handsome scoundrel were so quick.

—It was due to the peculiar ‘Sub-immortal’ state on Tyrannical Song’s body, filled with ‘Heavenly Dao-level information.’

Because his body had already prematurely entered ‘sub-immortalization,’ that is, during the ‘Immortal’ segment, he had actually completed much of the time needed by the ‘proving process.’

That’s why his proving time was so short.

As for the handsome scoundrel next to him, there’s even less to discuss; that fellow is full of tricks.

According to the Fourth Heavenly Dao ‘Dark Giant’s’ memory, this was the third time the handsome scoundrel participated in the ‘proving’ segment.

The speed of proving from that guy, even if twice faster, wouldn’t surprise the Dark Giant at all.

[But luckily…]The only consolation for the Dark Giant was that Tyrannical Song had not completely deciphered his ‘Domination Secret Method.’ The effects of the Domination Secret Method were still settling inside him.

Although the results might be slightly poor, the secret method’s energy was still present.

As long as the secret method took effect, it could buy him time.

Just as it was thus pondering, it suddenly saw Tyrannical Song, ascending, starting a new maneuver—he began forming two formation runes.

Although they were just simple two runes, the spell that they composed was extremely familiar to the ‘Dark Giant.’

It was the Domination Secret Method!

In the ‘Dark Giant’s’ sleepiness-filled brain, a huge question mark popped up.

It wasn’t mistaken, nor hallucinating… it was its Domination Secret Method!

And it was a simplified and improved version!

Why did Tyrannical Song know its Domination Secret Method?

“My Domination Secret Method, when exactly was it leaked?”

On careful thought, from beginning to end, Tyrannical Song seemed to have been guarded against his ‘Domination Secret Method.’

Moreover, he could ‘reverse’ the effects of his Domination Secret Method.

Obviously from the beginning, he might have known of its existence and had been guarding against it.

“Every time I executed the ‘Domination Secret Method,’ I was never detected, and amongst all the predecessors of the Heavenly Dao, no one had ever discovered my Domination Secret Method.”

“I had never had any contact with Tyrannical Song before… wait, a reincarnation of the Confucian Sage?”

Could this guy really be the Confucian Saint?

The very culprit who, during the last battle of the Heavenly Dao, caused him countless sleepless millenniums, ultimately leading to severe sleep deprivation?

If that’s really the case, it might indeed make sense.

But now, what exactly was Tyrannical Song trying to do suddenly using ‘Domination Secret Method’?

Whom did he intend to use it on?

He wasn’t planning to use it on me, was he?

The Dark Giant of the Fourth Heavenly Dao felt a pang of anxiety.

At this moment, Tyrannical Song stretched out his hand and pointed… and the target of the casting was that beautiful good-for-nothing!

“???”

The somewhat befuddled brain of the Dark Giant couldn’t figure out this possibility no matter how hard he thought.

Tyrannical Song actually used the ‘Domination Secret Method,’ cultivated over millions of years, on the beautiful good-for-nothing who was proving his Dao together with him?

What kind of bewildering maneuver was this? It was enough to make one pull their hair out.

And, the beautiful good-for-nothing on the other side didn’t resist and accepted the effects of the ‘Domination Secret Method’ entirely.

But at the same time, he also began operating the ‘reverse Domination Secret Method’ within him.

A moment later.

The beautiful good-for-nothing turned around and reapplied the ‘Domination Secret Method’ on Tyrannical Song.

However, the ‘Domination Secret Method’ energy inside him only consumed half, and the other half remained with him.

As a result, with the ‘Domination Secret Method’ as a connection, the ‘link’ between Tyrannical Song and that beautiful good-for-nothing became even more robust, unbreakable.

Although the two individuals remained ‘distinct entities,’ through various methods they were bundled together, becoming a buy-one-get-one ‘same existence.’

“Buzz!” The Dark Giant finally understood.

Having understood, he felt like someone had stabbed him in the heart, the discomfort unbearable.

The energy of the ‘Domination Secret Method’ that he had painstakingly accumulated over millions of years was just used by these two individuals, making all his millennia of effort others’ wedding garments?

You perform face-to-face NTR on my ‘Domination Secret Method’s power, have you considered my feelings?

Am I just a tool?

“But, it’s not completely over yet!”

“You think you can prove your Dao, but there’s one last hurdle ahead.”

“You are two different entities trying to prove your Dao simultaneously, which is different from all past Heavenly Daos.”

“Even if the ‘proving Dao process’ is completed, but at the last step of accepting the ‘Heavenly Dao Authority’ and ‘Immortal Incarnation,’ if the laws of the Heavenly Dao sense that you are two distinct entities, a rejection is bound to occur.”

“Without passing the last test, you might not succeed!”

“Perhaps, both of you could meet a cruel death!”

The Dark Giant glared fiercely at Tyrannical Song and the beautiful good-for-nothing, who were in the midst of ascension.

In this brief period, he had no mood to cause more troubles.

Whether Tyrannical Song and the beautiful good-for-nothing could overcome the last hurdle was what he and all beings in the myriad realms needed to focus on.

Moreover, as a being who once was a ‘Heavenly Dao’ and had even attempted transcendence, he saw deeper into the act of ‘two individuals proving their Dao together’ carried out by Tyrannical Song and the beautiful good-for-nothing.

“Could they be aiming for transcendence?” Within the depths of the Dark Giant’s heart, such a thought surged.

The more it thought about it, the more it felt this was a possibility.

The authority of the Heavenly Dao was like a rope, firmly tying each generation of the Heavenly Dao, preventing it from transcending, trapping it within the “myriad practitioners in the universe,” unable to fully surpass time, unable to eliminate the obsession and karma of the past.

But what if there were two Heavenly Daos online at the same time?

Could it be that one of them could take over all the ropes, and then let the other Heavenly Dao become a free bird, breaking away from the ropes and the cage?

In the mind of the Dark Giant, two images mysteriously emerged.

One was Tyrannical Song with a smile, extending his right hand—on his right hand, there was a handsome troublemaker with wings on his back, like a bird yet like a butterfly, achieving true great freedom, soaring high.

The other was that handsome troublemaker, making a decision at the last moment. He slightly bent down, untied the rope tied to Tyrannical Song’s feet, tied the rope to himself, and then opened the cage, sending Tyrannical Song away.

[Could it be, I was wrong?]

[Could it be, this is the correct posture for transcendence?]

No, it’s still too early to say!

Whether Tyrannical Song and that handsome troublemaker could withstand the final test, no one could say for sure.

After a brief thought, the Dark Giant, bracing against his fatigue, stretched out his hand and summoned back the remaining “Immortal Sand”!

“The Domination Secret Method was used by the opposition, and moreover, they have become vigilant towards the Domination Secret Method. Although the ‘Domination Secret Method’ still has many loopholes that might be exploited by me… it’s not wise to place too much hope on this.”

“So, what I can do now is to make a final gambit.”

“If you are indeed aiming for ‘transcendence’, then let’s see who can transcend first.”

Whether you transcend before me, or I transcend before you.

Without dominating and remotely influencing the Heavenly Dao, forcefully initiating my transcendence plan is very risky.

But considering that the opposition might be aiming for ‘transcendence’, he couldn’t keep waiting.

What if the opposition transcends and enters a higher dimension, where time and space are no longer ‘restrictions’ for them, who knows what they could achieve?

That would be a level that no one had ever reached before, and even going back to the past and targeting the past him is not impossible.

Perhaps he has the ‘Immortal’ enhancement, and the opposition might not be able to do anything to him. But if the opposition ‘transcends’, that would mean that he, will have no more chances.

So, no matter how great the risks, there is no turning back.

This generation’s Tyrannical Song and handsome troublemaker, from beginning to end, did not give him a chance to choose.

Luckily… at least now, he has an ‘Immortal Daoist’ body in his hands, which can suppress some of the risks associated with the ‘Transcendence Plan’.

However, in using the ‘Immortal Daoist body,’ he still needed to be wary of its condition.

The Domination Secret Method had been cracked, so the state of the Immortal Daoist could not be fully trusted. When using it, he must be careful!

After making up his mind, the Dark Giant left behind a grain of ‘Immortal Sand’ to continue to witness the outcome of Tyrannical Song and the handsome troublemaker.

At the same time, he took the Immortal Daoist and directly vanished without a trace.

What followed was a race.

He, at all costs, was going to make this ‘myriad practitioners in the universe’ become the past—and it must be an irreversible past.

Not like before, when the Immortal Daoist slashed the karma and started the entirety of the myriad practitioners in the universe anew!

Better still, would be to complete all this before Tyrannical Song and the handsome troublemaker transcended.

And then see who transcends first.

…

…

At the end of their ascent.

Song Shuhang and Senior White stood side by side.

As the Dark Giant speculated, Song Shuhang and Senior White were facing their final test.

Normally, to prove immortality through the Heavenly Dao, after completing the ‘proving process,’ it’s supposed to be the stage where one enters the ‘Heavenly Dao Rules Core,’ receives the Heavenly Dao Authority, and forges an immortal body—a step that can be completed lying down.

But Song Shuhang and Senior White were different, they were two separate individuals, proving their Dao simultaneously.

Throughout the ages, this had never happened before!

The laws of the Heavenly Dao may cause repulsion between two entities.

“We have done all we could,” Senior White said, glancing at Song Shuhang.

The two had theoretically completed all the prerequisites for ‘two distinct individuals achieving Dao simultaneously’ through ‘Primordial Spirit Cutting’ + ‘Confucianism Saint’s Innate Secret Technique’ + ‘Domination Secret Method’.

What could be done had been pushed to the limit!

“Hmm,” Song Shuhang nodded.

The final step of whether he and Senior White could ‘transcend’ was approaching.

After striving for so long… this was the moment they had been waiting for.

If successful, the past and the future, whether it be grievances, resentments, or obsessive fixations, would be resolved through either him or Senior White.

If they failed… then at least one of them between him and Senior White must achieve an immortal proofing.

Then, they must suppress ‘Dark Sun’ and the hidden ‘Dark Giant’ of the Fourth Heavenly Dao tightly, preventing it from causing trouble during the Ninth Heavenly Dao reincarnation period!

But…

“We will not fail,” Song Shuhang declared confidently, and failure was not an option.

After succeeding, the next step would be transcendence!

“Time passes so quickly, yet it seems so slow,” Senior White said, no longer suppressing his menacing charm.

At this moment, he was completely relaxed.

The sensation of the world seeming to turn into black and white, with only Senior White in color, descended once again.

But this time… Song Shuhang did not turn into black and white.

Because by now, he had grown enough to stand shoulder to shoulder with Senior White.

“Are you ready?” Senior White asked.

“I have been ready,” Song Shuhang replied.

“Boom~~”

In the perception of Song Shuhang and Senior White, the world shook.

A dimension that only the ‘Heavenly Dao’ could step into opened its gates to them.

And deep within this Heavenly Principle Dimension, the core secret door of the ‘Heavenly Dao Rules’ was also slowly opening!

This phase was something Song Shuhang had once experienced through ‘Daoist Senior,’ although only as a dreamland skill, which felt like looking at flowers through fog, very vague.

This time, he and Senior White were personally experiencing this process!

Both of them took a step forward simultaneously—the distance of the step was exact, taken and landed at the same time.

It was as if they were one entity.

The next moment, Song Shuhang felt himself ‘crossing a dimension.’

This was the huge dimensional gap between the Heavenly Dao and the mundane world.

The Heavenly Dao and those below it were already on two different levels.

Song Shuhang and Senior White took their second step together, fully entering the ‘Heavenly Principle Dimension.’

Once both bodies had completely entered… the expected ‘repulsion’ indeed occurred.

In one Heavenly Dao, one immortal.

The simultaneous entry and Dao achievement of two entities were bound to bring about repulsion.

This repulsion was utterly distinct from what Song Shuhang had imagined.

Too weak, too helpless!

The force of that repulsion, acting on Song Shuhang’s ‘Sub-immortal Body,’ was like a child using the strength needed to nurse, trying to push away a robust adult man.

Is this the final stubbornness of the Heavenly Dao rules?
