Chapter 1354: Chapter 518: Double Crowns Attain the Way, Unparalleled in the World_2

In the end, they gathered at the feet of Ye Hanjun, forming ten writhing shadows, terrifying upon first glance, soul-rending upon the second, and annihilating upon the third, instantly leading to death and the dissipation of one’s dao.

"Big Tadpole..."

The sleepy GuaGua suddenly awoke.

It seemed to have grown a bit larger, standing proudly atop the Golden Lotus, exuding the power of a White Tiger, full of spirit:

"Big Tadpole’s ’Ten Hall Yama,’ inherited from Asura Grandpa’s bloodline, is one of the strongest paths of slaughter."

"However, Crown Ranks are always unique; retracing old paths is bound to hit a wall..."

"Now, finally having taken this step, relying on intuition, the Principle’s evolution direction has greatly sublimated, without severe misalignment or alteration..."

"Big Tadpole, what name shall this unique mythic authority be given? I, Gua, must remember it well to help spread your renown in the future!"

"Above the Ten Halls of Yama, it shall be called the ’Diyan.’"

Standing in the land of bones, backed by the dark abyss, Ye Hanjun’s gaze was profound.

His words, though in human speech, carried an extra rhythmic feeling, thoroughly distinguishing him from mortals and saints:

"This crown is named—Diyan."

"With this divine authority, one should be like the true lord of the Netherworld, the death god of the underworld, the ghost king of hell, easily intimidating the realms of Nether, Prison, and more..."

"How cool!"

GuaGua shook off the sleepy haze, jumping for joy:

"Asura Grandpa is the Primordial Ancestor of the Ming Lamp Night Clan; Grandpa Shi Tian and Grandpa Chengfeng are designated as the Second and Third Ancestors. Big Tadpole is the Fourth Ancestor, becoming the pillar not only of our clan but of All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds... Hurray!"

Ye Hanjun, wearing the Skeleton Huge Crown, showed no hint of joy on his face.

He looked towards the Gate of Awakening on the opposite shore, where another Ye Hanjun sat cross-legged, furrowing his brows as if encountering a problem.

"After the seventh rank, both authorities ascend together..."

"Challenging the Crown Rank tears both body and soul apart, yet their paths to the Crown Rank are not equivalent?"

The version of Ye Hanjun looking like an Evil God muttered, trying to analyze the issue.

A single crown at most equals a strong figure among Divine Enthronement.

Only double crowns can be on par with Heavenly Venerate, which is valuable against ’Calamity.’

Is it because the ’Instructor’ originates from world will, making the dao confirmation harder?

"Swish!"

His thoughts had not yet deepened.

The Holy Ye Hanjun suddenly awoke.

In that instant, his white robe fluttered as if swept by a wild wind, the joyous news soaring to the earth.

A Faith Altar floated in the air.

Billions of lights of faith scattered like sparks, falling into the void.

Bathed in divine light, Holy Ye Hanjun seemed like an immortal descending, his golden hair suddenly turning white.

Unlike Aegifura’s frosty white, his hair held no coldness but rather clarity like a spring, as pure as GuaGua.

Including his eyebrows and beard, after turning snow white, there was an inexplicable sense of having weathered many hardships, now reaping rewards, the wisdom lurking deep within the soul readily accessible, inexhaustible.

Using GuaGua’s words, this Big Tadpole had an immortal aura, resembling a legendary Taoist master!

However, his eyes were gray, without pupils, like two clusters of chaos, growing more terrifying the longer one looked.

The Gray Sun mark on his brow had disappeared, replaced by a gray sun that was both a crown and halo, floating above his head, accentuating his divine aura.

The Ancient Stone Gate that should have stood behind him had vanished.

Yet, beneath Holy Ye Hanjun’s feet, three flawless full moons, seven crescent moons, and countless stars formed a gigantic magical array, emanating gray light.

Standing in this array, Holy Ye Hanjun seemed to overlook all beings, their joys, sorrows, and desires reflecting in his gray eyes, fleeting like images in a film.

"First rank... Instructor."

"Fourth rank... Protector."

"Seventh rank... Pioneer Sect Leader."

"Now the tenth rank, Chaos guides me, this crown is named... Creator Sovereign!"

Holy Ye Hanjun bowed his head, feeling the majestic power in his small stature.

His mind fluctuated, principles rippling, causing waves in the Chaos Secret Realm.

It’s as if the softness of water, the grandeur of mountains, the vastness of the heavens, and the breadth of the earth... everything has a vessel, all forms have substance, with intertwined causes and effects, most profound.

"Is this the Crown Rank?"

"The perceptive power granted by the spiritual side cannot be measured in ’multiples’..."

"Although there’s only a one-rank difference, the Crown Rank and the Saint are as different as clouds in the sky and mud on the ground, vastly dissimilar..."

The Sacred Ye Hanjun sighed, feeling somewhat dazed and unreal.

After a while, he raised his chin, his eyes nurturing chaos, aimed at the other side.

"Boom!!"

The Sacred Ye Hanjun and the Evil God Ye Hanjun, their gazes intertwined, in an instant, as powerful as lightning and thunder.

It was a shocking collision, accompanied by a ear-splitting crash, the immovable Gates of Awakening and Life’s End shook simultaneously.

They... were like positive and negative magnets!

The powerful attraction caused the two doors to advance towards the center as if they were walls.

"Ugh..."

The Sacred Ye Hanjun and the Evil God Ye Hanjun simultaneously showed looks of pain.

One clutched his head, bent over like a shrimp.

The other clutched his heart, his divine physique trembling.

"Bang!!"

The Gates of Awakening and Life’s End collided harshly.

The two-divided Ye Hanjun, each retaining memories and beliefs, flickered incessantly between illusory and real forms.

GuaGua dared not breathe.

Aegifura, Huazhu, Goose Immortal—and even Little Lazy Lion, who was rarely awake, all focused intently on the ultimate fusion of the two Ye Han Jun.

"Mo... are you ready?"

"If he succeeds, you and I will become the Fourth Heavenly Venerate of the New Era."

On top of a sticky black egg, stood a mini version of the three-eyed white crow.

It stared at the two Ye Han Jun, who collided tens of thousands of times per second, its three blood gemstone eyes narrowed slightly.

Afterwards, its wings slightly spread, making a pre-flight motion.

"Yaya... I... I’m ready!"

"I envy Ye Han Jun so much, he seems in such pain..."

"Yaya, when we evolve, will it be painful too? I can’t wait..."

The sticky black egg, like a bouncing flesh ball, could not calm down.

The three-eyed white crow remained silent, its cold gaze unblinking, the divine fluctuations hidden within it like a ticking time bomb about to explode.

"Boom!!"

The Sacred Ye Hanjun and the Evil God Ye Hanjun fused into one.

Unlike the past, a single entity with two aspects, two phantom bodies.

The successfully fused Ye Han Jun, left eye chaotic, right eye deep black, left half with white hair like snow, right half with black hair like night, clearly distinct.

All the accompanying garments and associated phenomena also split along the central vertical line of the body, joined left and right, coexisting yet not interfering with each other.

Reflected in the eyes of GuaGua, Aegifura, and Goose Immortal, behind that bizarre and grotesque form.

Life and death had already achieved a perfect balance within Ye Han Jun, no longer standing in the real world, but in the realms of Yin and Yang, governing the entire reincarnation.

"Crack!!"

The Chaos Secret Realm began to crack, as if unable to bear the status of Ye Han Jun, gradually collapsing.

"Gaga! I’ve endured for so long, finally I can impact the Divine Enthronement!"

Goose Immortal howled towards the sky, spreading its wings, immediately black feathers fell, its ferocious aura swept in all directions arrogantly.

"Soldier Path, accomplished."

"With lightning as the foundation, the qin as the instrument body, after Jiuyou, what shape should be formed?"

The Golden Body Demon lightly strummed the strings, sending thousands of afterimages.

The music from the qin became more urgent, more intense, the rebirth of nirvana, happening in an instant.

"Ow! Yaya, you lied to me!"

"Ascending Evolution doesn’t hurt at all! Wuwu, I envy Ye Han Jun so much..."

The sticky black egg emitted faint cracking sounds as it bounced.

At some point, the three-eyed white crow had vanished.

Like a sparrow, it rushed into the egg, the glow flashing instantly, and then, an immensely oppressive and terrifying life force, like blazing flames, burned intensely!
