Chapter 153: True Freedom and Great Transcendence

Just like Azur before him.

Caelum would now sever the Myriad Daos and destroy heaven and earth.

Only by doing so could he break free from the cage of creation and find another step beyond the dead end of Dao Extremity.

The might of the Myriad Daos at Extremity stirred boundless waves across the Sea of Transcendence.

Aurelius leaned against the lone boat, watching with great interest as Caelum began his ultimate transcendence.

Above the Sea of Transcendence, Caelum activated Myriad Dao as One and merged all of his Daos at Extremity into a single whole.

Boom!

The Sea of Transcendence shook violently.

The Myriad Daos emerged.

Countless phenomena intertwined around Caelum.

Thunder flashed.

The Five Elements rose and fell.

Yin and Yang revolved.

Chaos Qi surrounded all directions.

Caelum’s aura climbed higher and higher.

Until it reached its absolute peak.

Then, at a certain moment, boundless power erupted.

Caelum summoned Bladeleaf and used the Dao Severing Art.

He swung his sword toward the endless Sea of Transcendence.

In an instant, the Myriad Daos were extinguished.

The Infinite Realms returned to nothingness.

It was like the first moment of creation.

The sword light that severed the Dao tore through the Sea of Transcendence like a primordial thunderbolt, destroying every Dao within it.

At that moment, Caelum felt an unprecedented sense of freedom.

The cage of heaven and earth no longer existed.

With this final leap, he had finally stepped beyond the dead end of Dao Extremity and glimpsed a wider realm of infinite possibility.

From this day forth, he would no longer be bound by heaven, earth, or the Myriad Daos.

Then Caelum’s aura began advancing at a terrifying speed.

He madly absorbed the origin of the Sea of Transcendence until it was entirely drawn into his body.

The three hundred and sixty Hidden Vault Worlds within him evolved to their utmost limits.

Strengthened by the origin of the Sea of Transcendence, their Dao resonance intertwined and linked together until all of it returned to one.

Before long, the three hundred and sixty Hidden Vault Worlds transformed into a boundless Sea of Transcendence.

The River of Time flowed beneath it, evolving endless possibilities.

At that moment, Caelum’s aura reached its absolute peak.

He stepped into the Realm of True Freedom and Great Transcendence.

Buzz.

All supreme Dao resonance returned into him.

Caelum stood within the void.

The Infinite Realms, the countless lesser worlds, the River of Time, the Sea of Transcendence.

Everything had ceased to exist.

All things had been destroyed.

The Sea of Transcendence was the source of all Daos and the foundation of all existence.

Now that the Myriad Daos had been severed by Caelum and its origin had been fully absorbed, the Sea of Transcendence naturally turned to nothingness.

[Cultivation Increased]

[Realm: Immortal Realm]

Suspended within the endless void, Caelum was truth itself.

Caelum was everything.

The so-called True Freedom and Great Transcendence far exceeded anything any Ascendant could imagine.

Unless one reached this Realm, its power was impossible to comprehend.

Great Transcendence meant that Caelum stood above all existence.

No one in the world could be stronger than him.

Nothing in the world could bind him.

Heaven, earth, and the Myriad Daos were all within his palm.

He was one.

He was all.

One was all, and all was one.

With a thought, the Myriad Daos could be born or destroyed.

With a thought, heaven and earth could be created.

With a thought, all existence could fall into Oblivion.

Past, present, and future no longer held any separation.

Once Great Transcendence was attained, it was attained forever.

That meant if Caelum entered True Freedom and Great Transcendence one million years later, then from the moment he first appeared upon the River of Time, he had already been at the Realm of True Freedom and Great Transcendence.

One attainment endured eternally, flowing backward through the River of Time.

It made Caelum eternally one.

Every Caelum at every point in the River of Time was the same singular being.

Caelum existed in the past.

He existed in the present.

He existed in the future.

He could also step beyond the River of Time and transcend all karma.

From that moment on, the world no longer contained any trace of him.

This was True Freedom.

Great Transcendence.

With a thought from Caelum, the void became primordial chaos.

Chaos split open.

Yin and Yang gave birth to the Five Elements.

The Five Elements gave birth to all things.

The Myriad Daos erupted like thunder.

A boundless Sea of Transcendence rose in surging waves.

The River of Time flowed beneath it.

The Infinite Realms and the countless lesser worlds were then created anew.

Caelum raised a hand.

Eleven illusory forms appeared in his palm.

From the origin of the Hidden Vault Sea of Transcendence within him, he stripped away eleven strands of aura.

They transformed into ten vibrant plants and one human phantom.

Dragonvine.

Wind Lotus.

Energy Blossom.

Dandelion.

Foxtail Grass.

And Vaelor’s origin.

...

With a wave of his hand, Caelum sent the ten plants and Vaelor’s origin into The Infinite Realms.

Since Vaelor had already perished when heaven and earth were destroyed, Caelum was immediately swallowed by a white vortex.

In the next instant, white light flashed.

Caelum returned to the real world.

Likewise, the cultivation, realm, and strength he had obtained in Immortal Ascension were all brought back with him in full.

Bladeleaf was no exception.

This power far surpassed what he had once possessed when he stood above the Endless Sea of Universes.

After all, he could now create or destroy the Myriad Daos with a thought.

He had not only stepped beyond the River of Time, but had also attained eternal unity through one eternal realization.

It was absurd to the extreme.

Prosper had spent several thousand years in Immortal Ascension, and one or two years had already passed in the real world.

Caelum had spent over a million years in Immortal Ascension.

By the time he returned, nearly three hundred years had passed in reality.

He had thought he would see a future world of advanced technology.

Instead, what appeared before him was dust drifting through outer space.

Earth was gone.

After thinking about it, this was understandable.

The hidden danger behind game world invasions had always been enormous.

Across nearly three hundred years, there were bound to be game worlds with absurdly high power levels invading reality.

The Divine Wasteland World had been the best example.

If Caelum had not acted back then, Earth would have already been destroyed.

Seeing this bleak scene now did not surprise him at all.

Then he looked closer.

It was not just Earth that was gone.

The entire Earth universe, along with the Endless Sea of Universes, had fallen into complete chaos.

All kinds of game worlds had invaded.

It was almost lively.

Buzz.

A powerful aura swept across the Earth universe.

A white-bearded old man in Daoist robes stepped through the void with a kindly expression.

He looked surprised.

"To think this universe could produce an expert like you."

"Fellow Daoist, your eyes are sharp, and there seems to be Sword Intent within them. Are you perhaps a Sword Adept?"

He was not from the Endless Sea of Universes.

Caelum saw through him at a glance.

This man had invaded from a game world.

As he spoke, the old Daoist summoned a streak of azure light and drew a three-foot blade.

Killing intent flashed.

Without warning, he swung at Caelum with a laugh.

"This world is truly interesting. At last, I have found a worthy opponent!"

Caelum’s expression remained calm.

Then, all at once, Sword Intent erupted.

A terrifying sword light crushed the old Daoist’s Sword Intent with unstoppable force and erased the old Daoist along with it.

In the same instant, boundless sword light descended.

Boom!

The entire Earth universe was completely destroyed.

The Endless Sea of Universes surged violently.

Then the sword light split it cleanly in half.

The sword continued forward without pause.

Only after it vanished into the void beyond the sea of universes did it finally disappear.

Buzz.

Bladeleaf swayed, suppressing every enemy.

After that, no one dared provoke Caelum again.

With a single thought, time around him began flowing backward.

The entire Endless Sea of Universes rapidly rewound to an earlier point in time.

The game world invasions and every invading character were no exception.

One year ago.

Ten years ago.

One hundred years ago.

Two hundred years ago.

At last, time returned to shortly after Caelum had entered Immortal Ascension.
