Ascension of The Unholy Immortal-Chapter 378: Liang emerges
Seated naked in the waters of the Immortal Dragon Spring, Liang’s eyes suddenly snapped open. The moment they did, a terrifying aura erupted from his body, sending ripples through the otherwise still water.
"Failed to breakthrough?"
Though the Dragon Spring existed in a separate spacetime domain, it remained connected to his own realm. Whatever had transpired outside resonated clearly within him through the void.
"It seems the influence of the Heavenly Will is finally taking form..."
After nearly fifty years, Liang had reached the peak of the sixth stage of his bloodline cultivation.
The Nine Universe Serpent Scripture, his newly crafted technique, was born from the fusion of three bloodline techniques inherited from the enigmatic Nine-Tailed Immortal Fox Fairy. Not only did this scripture draw upon those techniques, but it also incorporated the framework and the foundation of the Eternal Void Ascension Technique of the Infernal Void Serpent Race.
The True Spirit Race and Demon Race possessed inherent advantages in cultivation—they could nurture their spirits alongside their True Spirit bloodlines, something ordinary beings lacked access to.
To compensate for this disparity, humans began cultivating their bodies and integrating supplementary systems, eventually developing the soul system that allowed them to surpass even these superior races
A human cultivator mastering all three primary systems—body, spirit, and soul—was unparalleled; no True Spirit being could match such power. This very fact cemented humanity’s dominance over heaven and earth.
Unlike other species, most found it exceedingly difficult, if not impossible, to cultivate their souls.
"Cultivating spirit, bloodline, and soul?" Liang’s lips curled upward into a faint smile. Though he didn’t focus on soul cultivation directly, his Runic Cultivation served as a replacement—a unique path akin to nurturing the soul itself.
"To advance further, I must face the Heavenly Tribulation," he mused aloud. "But… there’s more."
His thoughts trailed off as a strange sensation stirred deep within him. His gaze shifted instinctively toward the void surrounding the spring, piercing through layers of void to glimpse the outside world.
"An opportunity?"
There, amidst the swirling currents of fate, he detected something unusual—a disturbance tied directly to his Universe Rune. The rune, intricately linked to his bloodline, pulsed faintly, resonating with some unknown opportunity hidden beyond the veil.
Without hesitation, Liang reached into his robes and withdrew the Dragon Spring Token, a relic imbued with the power to traverse dimensions. As he activated it, the space around him began to ripple, distorting reality itself. Threads of light begin to wave together, forming a shimmering portal that bridged the gap between two different space-time domains.
Standing up, Liang cast one last lingering glance at the Immortal Dragon Spring. For so long, it had been his sanctuary.
But now, his opportunity finely come. With resolve burning brightly in his heart, he stepped forward, disappearing into the portal as it closed behind him, leaving the tranquil waters of the spring undisturbed once more.
In the very place where the unknown figure had once failed to break through and withstand the Void Return Tribulation, a man abruptly emerged from the void. His voice carried a tone of quiet awe as he surveyed his surroundings.
"Remarkable... the power of heaven and earth here is something else."
His gaze swept across the primordial expanse beyond the domain, and a flicker of realization dawned in Liang’s eyes.
"This is risky," he murmured to himself, "but if I don’t seize this opportunity now, it will be difficult—perhaps impossible—for me to contend with those at the Void Return Realm anytime soon."
Without hesitation, his aura began to churn violently. In an instant, his human form dissolved, replaced by a colossal silver-winged draconic creature adorned with nine shimmering tails that swayed between reality and illusion. One tail, in particular, seemed to pulse with an ethereal quality, flickering between existence and nonexistence.
At the same moment, the heavens above shifted once more. A new tribulation began to gather, though on a far smaller scale than the one that had ravaged this region before. This time, its fury was confined solely to this part of the Devil Realm, unlike the previous calamity, which had engulfed not only the entire Devil Realm but also spilled over into neighboring realms.
"Void Transformation Tribulation?" Mo Ji’s sharp eyes narrowed as they locked onto the unfolding scene. His gaze pierced through space until it finally settled upon Liang.
"Breaking through to the Seventh Stage already?"
"Isn’t that reckless? What could he possibly be planning?"
Though their prior encounters had been brief, Mo Ji knew enough about Liang to recognize his audacity. Yet, there was something else underlying this act—a strategy perhaps too clever for mere recklessness.

Mo Ji’s eyes suddenly glowed golden as he probed deeper, piercing the domain wall into the outer void. His expression shifted rapidly, surprise giving way to understanding.
"I see... A smart move indeed."
The heavens above churned ominously, dark clouds gathering as if preparing for the ultimate test.
Bolts of lightning began to descend from the heavens, each bolt thicker than mountains and brighter than stars. Liang stood calmly amidst the chaos, his silver draconic form radiating power.
"So this is the first trial?" Liang thought to himself, watching the lightning strike the ground around him. "Just lightning"
As the first bolt struck him directly, its force sent shockwaves rippling outward. However, instead of resisting or dodging, Liang opened his mouth wide, letting out a deep growl that resonated through the air. With a single inhale, he devoured the lightning whole, absorbing its destructive energy into his strong body.
"Pathetic. This lightning isn’t even worth my time. If you wish to test me, heavens, then bring something worthy!" Liang smirked inwardly as another bolt crashed down upon him, only to be consumed just as easily.
Each successive strike grew stronger, yet none could pierce his defenses. His body thrummed with newfound vitality as he absorbed every ounce of energy the heavens threw at him.
From afar, Mo Ji watched intently. "As expected , it’s seems like the power of the Heaven and Earth was greatly depleted in this place to the point it couldn’t master a strange tribulation" He leaned back slightly, golden light flashing in his eyes as he calculated the implications. "There’s a strong chance that he may succeed"
Sun Wu, perched on a nearby peak, muttered under his breath. "That little brother is so rush, Can’t he wait another two or three hundred years ?"
Despite his outward skepticism, there was a flicker of respect in his gaze.
In the distant Immortal Palace atop Divine Spirit Island, a mysterious fairy stirred from her meditation. Her translucent robes shimmered like moonlight on water as she gazed toward the Devil Realm. "A smart choice," she murmured softly. "I hope that no accident will occur
As the lightning subsided, the second trial commenced, The atmosphere shifted. The was replaced by a swirling vortex of golden flames that descended from the heavens.
These were no ordinary flames—they burned with an otherworldly intensity, their heat capable of melting the void.
"Heavenly Tribulation flame? Intriguing… but predictable," Liang mused, narrowing his eyes as the flames coalesced into the shape of a massive dragon. Its scales shimmered like molten gold, and its roar shook the very fabric of reality.
The golden dragon lunged toward Liang, intent on incinerating him.
Instead of retreating.Liang spread his wings wide and unleashed a torrent of crimson energy. From his mouth erupted a blazing inferno—the heavenly spirit flame.
"Seven realms to burn, one soul to refine, one spirit to transcend!" Liang muttered the incantation under his breath.
The flames suddenly begin surge, creating a dazzling display of fire. Out of the conflagration arose a giant radiant figure, its body shining like melted starlight. Nine ghostly tails materialized behind it, each embodying unique powers. Three burned with purple fire, distorting space itself; three flowed like liquid starlight, leaving trails of light; and three shifted constantly, defying definition.
The golden dragon, dwarfed by Liang’s Heavenly Spirit Flame transformation, hesitated for a fleeting moment before roaring defiantly and charging into the fray.
The clash of their flames illuminated the heavens, the very fabric of reality warping and twisting around them.
Mo Ji watched the spectacle unfold, his eyes widening in surprise. "A flame with the power of a Void Return Realm ?"
Suddenly, The figure’s tails pierced the red-golden dragon, reducing it to fragments of pure energy. These shards were swiftly absorbed by the figure’s mouth, fueling its ascension. Then, just as suddenly as it appeared, the figure vanished silantly.
"Two stages complete… but I know better than to underestimate the third. Let us see what the heavens have left for me."
