Dimensional Realm

A dimensional realm was different from a minor dimension. A dimensional realm could be dozens, hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of miles in length. The power of space within was also very stable. Once a dimensional realm was born, then it could exist for hundreds of thousands or even millions of years without collapsing.

The broken world the Demon God Imperial Palace was in could be considered a small dimensional realm.

The martial artists of the Sky Spill Continent simply didn’t have the ability to split apart the void and create their own dimensional realm. These worlds were all formed naturally due to a variety of reasons. Because a dimensional realm was located in a hidden world, it was easy to defend from attacks. Every discovery of a new dimensional realm would cause intense struggle amongst all the major powers. The Four Divine Kingdoms each had their own dimensional realms. For a sect to be able to lay down a base in a dimensional realm, that was in itself a manifestation and representation of their strength.

In higher realms like the Divine Realm, atleast Seventh and above grade sects had atleast a single dimensional realm. In a Ninth-Grade Sect, many of their divisions had dimensional realms, similar to the different Palaces in the Ancient Phoenix Clan.

Every dimensional realm has a world heart that supports the entire world. This is the cornerstone of the world. The degree of its toughness is singular and unthinkable. Even if the top powerhouse of the Sky Spill Continent were to come here, they could give up any thoughts of destroying it.
Fey

The Fey race are the favored children of the heavens. They are a race that excelled in perception and naturally gifted with the world laws. If it wasn’t for them being so few in number, they would be the number one race within the Holy Demon Continent.

The Fey were long-lived; even the common mortal Fey would live up to 200 years.

## Appearance

Among the many races, this race was exceptionally beautiful. The men were handsome and eye-catching, and the women were beautiful. Their beauty was enough to cause the downfall of a nation; they were fairy princesses that had stepped out of a book.

They had alluring jade eyes, long and sharp ears, and ocean-green hair. Besides their eyes, ears, and coloring, they were very similar to humans. Some had radiant patches of scales on their faces, and some even had charming tails.

This was the Fey race of the Holy Demon Continent.

## Cultivation

It could be said that the entire Fey race was the beloved of all natural Laws.

The talent of the Fey far exceeded that of everyone else in the Holy Demon Continent. In terms of physical strength, they were inferior to the Giant Demons. But they had inborn physiques that placed them in tune with the natural Laws. This allowed them to easily comprehend the power of Concepts and Laws.

This also caused the cultivation methods of the Fey to be infinitely varied; they were impossible for one to guard against.

### **Fey King Battle Body**

The Fey King Battle Body was the pride of their Fey race, because this was the brand imprinted in their bones by the ancient Fey bloodline. This was the source of their race’s superiority, and the symbol of their race’s glory. Because of this, they were the paramount race. Because of this, humans were nothing but lowly beasts in their eyes.

## Background

The Fey had a very long and glorious history. Now they occupied the Western Region of the Holy Demon Continent. Because both the men and woman of the Fey race were exceptionally beautiful, they were often captured to be used for sexual cultivation purposes. Within the Holy Demon Continent, there were countless martial artists that walked down the road of obscenity, including both men and women.

Due to this, the sexual slave trade of the Fey race was flourishing. Besides sexual slaves, the beautiful mortal Fey were often indentured as servants, concubines, or catamites. There were even mortal Fey and untalented Fey who were willing to contract themselves to powerhouses to seek asylum. In this cruel and brutal Holy Demon Continent, this was an easier way to survive.
Da Gu

## [source]

**Da Gu** is a Giant Demon martial artist who held the title of Six Star Heavenly Demon in Skysplit Tower, as well as being one of the most illustrious and famous Giant Demons in Polaris City.

He was known as an existence that could shake Skysplit Tower. He was at the third floor of the tower.

Lin Ming had already heard his name as early as when he was still at Sun Flood City.

* Allies with miss Xun Ji.
* One of the Heavenly Demon Seven Stars.
* Ranks third to fourth in the Heavenly Demon Seven Stars.

## Description

This was a youth that was a tad over 10 feet tall, and he carried a large greatsword on his back.

He had rough facial features and he wore red armor.

Originally, Lin Ming thought that Da Gu was a bloodthirsty beast of his generation, but seeing this Da Gu in front of him, while he did have a faint murderous aura, this Da Gu carried no hostility towards him at all.

Out of all the Giant Demons that Lin Ming encountered, he had the calmest temperament as well as a rationale thinker. He states that he is the same type of person as Lin Ming and came to the tower purely for gaining experience.

Sometimes, through just a short conversion, one could gain a sense of trust towards others. Lin Ming’s visceral feeling was that everything Da Gu said should be 80 to 90% true. Not just that, but he seemed to be a very proud and aloof character. Such a person was much more trustworthy and reliable than others.

## Heavenly Demon Seven Stars

Besides Da Gu and Xun Ji, all five other Heavenly Demon Stars have taken a soul oath to obey Skysplit Tower. This oath in fact only lasts 50 years. During these 50 years, they serve Skysplit Tower, but the reward for this is that they can use the resources of Skysplit Tower however they wish. They even gain the right to enter the Road of Emperor.

Now, they’ve already used all the resources they can, and as for those they can’t, we’ll never be able to. Thus, in the future they would leave.
Demon Snake City

The main city of the 12th layer of the Dark Abyss - Demon Snake City.

This city occupied an area of thousands of miles. Just by nearing the city, one could feel a vast demonic power and pressure covering them. Low level martial artists would have no way to stay in this pressure.

If a human were to be covered in this demon power then the strength they would be able to display would be weakened. But for powerful abyssals, the situation was completely reversed. When they were around this city, whether it was in combat strength or cultivation speed they would rise to a new level.

The city walls of Demon Snake City were extremely special. They weren’t formed by rectangular blocks, but by a massive circular tube that lay on the ground.

The city walls were a thousand feet high and thousands of miles long. They were black in color and covered in large dark red ring patterns.

When a martial artist approached the city walls, one could feel an infernal energy as deep as a sea and a turbulent blood vitality gush out from it!

This blood vitality was filled with a faint oppressive feeling. Lin Ming could even feel it transmit through the ground beneath him, pulsating with life.

The city walls were alive!

This couldn’t even be called a city wall. In truth, it was actually a giant snake that was 4000-5000 miles in length! This creature was called – the bashe serpent.

The bashe serpent lay around Demon Snake City, circling it. It had fallen into a deep slumber and its body was now used as a natural wall for Demon Snake City. The name Demon Snake City was also due to this bashe serpent.

This bashe serpent was a True Divinity level abyssal, the ruler of the Dark Abyss’s 12th layer!

The road in front of Demon Snake City could hold a hundred horses standing side by side.

Of course, abyssals wouldn’t ride horses. The mounts they rode would also be abyssals.

These mounts came in all different kinds. Some were like lizards, some were like cows, some were like giant cyclops carrying giant metal bars.

Most iron claw demons were far weaker than the mounts that these residents of Demon Snake City rode on.

### **Blood Moon Hall**

The restaurant Lin Ming was in was called Blood Moon Hall. In Demon Snake City, although this restaurant wasn’t considered too expensive, it still charged a price of 100-200 demon crystals for a meal. It absolutely wasn’t an amount that a low level abyssal could afford.
Ancient Kirin Clan

## Introduction

The phoenix was one of the rarest God Beasts of the Divine Realm. As for the kirins and dragons, there were many more of them. The Ancient Phoenix Clan only had two branches: the Fire Phoenix Branch and the Ice Phoenix Branch. However, the Kirin Clan actually had four branches: the Electric Violet Kirin, Fire Kirin, Water Kirin, and Umbral Kirin Branches. They had over 200 billion clansmen among their ranks.

Their clansmen has antlers sticking out of their heads.

## Four Great Family Clans

* Electric Violet Kirin Clan
* Fire Kirin Clan
* Water Kirin Clan
* Ink Kirin Clan

## Divine Beast

* Electric Violet Kirin
* Fire Kirin
* Water Kirin
* Ink Kirin
Array Formations

**Formations** (阵 zhèn) (阵法 zhènfǎ) – divided into battle formations and spell formations, although they are often just called “formations”. *Battle formations* are “fantasy-fied” tactical formations used by several cultivators or martial artists attacking in concert. *Spell formations* are also called Arrays. They’re essentially magic circles which cast a continuous area-of-effect spell on the location the formation encompasses.

* Formation Flags (阵旗 zhènqí) – magical flags set up at key points in order to activate a spell formation (usually around the perimeter).
* Restrictions (禁制 jìnzhì) (禁法 jìnfǎ) – also translated as Seals / Restrictive Spells / Spell Restrictions. Somewhat similar to formations. They are spells which form a barrier around a location or act to seal/suppress a person or object.

## Classifications

There are many different varieties of complex array formations. If they had to be classified, they would be imprisoning arrays, killing arrays, , protective arrays, illusory arrays, sealing arrays, and so forth.

### **Protective Array Formations**

A protective array was different from killing arrays, caging arrays, or illusion arrays. Of the latter three, in order to cage someone, kill someone, or bring someone under illusion, they all required that the person step into them, thus producing the possibility that someone could break out.

But for a protective array, it was to keep all enemies outside. And all central mechanism of an array formation were located within. Wanting to break through was easier said than done.

### **Imprisoning Arrays Formations**

The function of an imprisoning array was to trap the enemy within.

### **Killing Arrays Formations**

A killing array can be created to kill an enemy. In higher levels, killing arrays can be either remotely controlled or set as a trap.

### **Illusory Array Formations**

An illusory magic array was to let an enemy be lost in an endless dreamland so they could never awaken or to ruin their mental state.

Chaos Star Ocean

In the past, the primal god race had united several races together and had gone into hiding in a place called the **Chaos Star Ocean**. This was a starry sky of the already bleak and desolate Primeval Universe.

This Chaos Star Ocean had once been the core of a titanic galaxy. But, the galaxy had withered away, and this core region was flooded with numerous space storms and black holes. If one recklessly rushed in and was sucked in by a black hole, that would mean certain death!

## **Primal God Race Main Headquarters**

When the god clan were still stationed at the Primeval Ruins Realm, the headquarters of the royal god's was deep inside the Chaos Star Ocean. It was a massive white temple that had a huge statue of the Asura Road Master at the center.

### **Statue**

This could even be called the largest statue that Lin Ming had ever seen. It was several thousand miles high and seemed to be carved from a small planet. It was unknown how many years this statue had existed for, but the surface of it was covered with dust and filled with the concept of endless years. Even so, every line and curve condensed infinite true meanings and an overwhelmingly strong will.

### **Grand Hall**

After entering, one would find themselves in a spacious and broad corrido. The floor tiles gleamed, and one would feel that every floor tile was carved with array formations, each one possessing a protective function. These array formations were unusual. If a small sect obtained a single one, they could use it as the protective array formation of their sect to guard the entrance.

Stood on both sides of the corridor were silver-armored god race martial artists. These god race martial artists all had an early Holy Lord realm cultivation, all of them possessed the ability to jump ranks to fight, at least able to cross one or two small boundaries.

At the end of the corridor was a grand hall. There was a row of thrones for 16 Elders of the god race.
Demon Race

The demon race of the Divine Realm could barely be considered to be at peace with the human race. But, there would often be conflicts that erupted.

After all, it was inevitable that there would be battles where interests conflicted.

Demondawn Great World was originally the great world where the demon race gathered. There were many different demon clans here.

The demon race and monster race existed outside of the human race. In this great calamity, neither of these two races were in great danger.

Even if Empyrean Demondawn were to join forces with the saint race, he couldn’t be labeled a traitor to his people.
Cloud Demon

## [source]

* High Lord Cloud Demon occupied an impressive status within Heavenly Cloud Tower.
* Ranked in the top 5 between the High Lords of the Heavenly Cloud Tower.
* Heavenly Cloud Tower's Cloud Demon and Hidden Cloud are both stronger than Bloodfire.
* Killed by Lin Ming after being controlled by the heaven-step Demon God Bone in Xuanqing's Tomb.
Blackstone

## [source]

**Blackstone** was a descendant of a Giant Demon Holy Land.

As someone that came from a Giant Demon Holy Land, his talent was no less than Feng Shen’s. He was also a heaven-step Asura Emperor level talent.

Blackstone had adventured with Lin Ming and the others in the Eternal Demon Abyss.

Killed by Lin Ming after being controlled by the heaven-step Demon God Bone in Xuanqing's Tomb.

## Personality

As a descendant of a Holy Land, Blackstone was incomparably arrogant.

He originally didn’t believe Lin Ming was so great.

Seeing was far better than believing. These top Emperor level talents were never convinced by word of mouth unless they could see with their own eyes.

Blackstone had long heard rumors about Lin Ming’s talent and genius, but he had naturally played these all down in his heart.

However, such an arrogant individual, when faced with their own imminent death would drastically change.

When they were stuck within the 1000 mile forbidden zone of the Eternal Demon Abyss he was so humbly apologizing to Lin Ming; this was just a sigh of how messed up his state of mind was and how at a loss he was to all the events surrounding him.
Blue Moon Sect

A seventh grade sect in the Asura Road. While they were early Divine Lords, Lin Ming and Xiao Moxian came to this sect and stayed here for around 25 years, living a peaceful existence. They had concealed their cultivations to the Divine Sea realm when they entered, and pretended to be at the Divine Transformation realm when they left. In truth, they were at Divine Lords when they arrived and middle Divine Lords when they left. Lin Ming spent the time here practising alchemy and divine runic arts while also dual cultivating with Xiao Moxian.
Bluesnow Realm

**Bluesnow Realm** - This small world was hidden within a chaotic ocean of stars. Without accurate coordinates and a guide, it was basically impossible to find this land.

The end of the Bluesnow Realm pushed up against the God Lamenting Wall. And behind this God Lamenting Wall was another universe of the 33 Heavens – a Wild Universe.

Because the God Lamenting Wall separating the wild universes had never weakened, this universe hadn’t had an intelligent humanoid life form step foot in it for a long time.

Several months ago, 20 human Empyreans were sent to the Bluesnow Realm in order to join together and form a connection through the God Lamenting Wall using the Asura Decree and then maintain it.

Following that, the elites of humanity passed through this connection and entered the wild universe.
Big Beard

## [source]

After a few breaths of time, a large fellow called out. He held a big pot of wine in his hand, and he was shaking back and forth, much of the wine was spilling out.

As Lin Ming glanced at this big fellow, he saw that his cultivation was at the peak Houtian realm and his true essence was abnormally thick. He was obviously a powerhouse of those within the same level.
Coughing up Blood

Daevic Eye (Celestial Eye Dao Palace)

Whether it was martial artists, mortals, or perhaps even animals, there was a natural hollow between their eyebrows where the third eye was hidden. This third eye had already degenerated into the brain, and was known by some as the upper dantian; this was also the daevic eye.

If one could open their daevic eye, they could gain the power to see through all mysteries and obtain an unparalleled perception. Of the Nine Stars of the Dao Palace, this was the Celestial Eye Dao Palace!

This Dao Palace didn’t have any specific striking power, but once opened, it would directly enhance a martial artist’s divine sense, so that they could spy upon the secrets of heaven and see through the infinite mysteries!

Previously, when Lin Ming opened the Purple Temple Dao Palace, Heavenly Retribution Dao Palace, and Extreme Polar Dao Palace, he had relied on gathering numerous spirit medicines to accomplish those feats, but this time in opening the Daevic Eye Dao Palace, Lin Ming simply relied upon his own strength and accumulations to forcefully open it.
Blood Demon Island

Blood Demon Island was similar to the Dark Moon Island, where Lin Ming had gone before to look for the Moon Seizing Sect’s hidden depository. There had once been an unparalleled and cataclysmic war within theSouth Sea, and Dark Moon Island and Blood Demon Island had both been battlefields. At that time, many powerhouses had died there.

This Blood Demon Island was the eye of the South Sea demons’ origins. All year long, demonic blood energy would gather, filling the air with a dense red fog. Here, countless blood demons would be born and multiply that could absorb the blood essence of others; it was an incomparably dangerous land.

By all rights, a land like this should have been a barren island just like Dark Moon Island. But Blood Demon Island also had an extremely high quality true essence stone lode, and was ripe with medium-grade true essence stones. This allowed Blood Demon Island to have value to be developed and used.

These blood demons were usually suppressed and eliminated by Divine Phoenix Island. They did not dare to rebel, and usually hid deep underground.
Daevic Eye Star (Celestial Eye Dao Palace)

This Dao Palace didn’t have any specific striking power, but once opened, it would directly enhance a martial artist’s divine sense, so that they could spy upon the secrets of heaven and see through the infinite mysteries!

Great Ax

## [source]

**Great Ax** was a Goliath martial artist carrying a great double-headed axe.

He was the Tower Master of Great Ax Tower.

His double-headed ax could only be considered in the lower-middle reaches of low-grade heaven-step treasure. Although it wasn’t some amazingly high rank weapon, the key lay in its weight.

Between grades of a similar rank, an ax was much more expensive than a sword, because over ten times the material was required.

Accordingly, an ax was extremely durable because of its thickness.

He was planted a slave seal by Lin Ming for three months, and after a few years he would still be subservient to him.
Ancient Stone Forest

The ancient stone forest is the hidden treasure trove that Ruby told Lin Ming. However, this hidden treasure area contained a horrifying aura. In truth, it was the location near the area where Immortal Sovereign and Asura fought long ago.

It was a special location that leads outside of the Akashic Dream Universe.

## Overview

From deep within the ancient forest, there was a mystic and formidable aura that emanated outwards. This ancient forest seemed to have existed for countless billions of years. Each leaf was as large as a house.

Any rays of light that shined down were blocked by layers of thick leaves, filtering out to a dim haze that left mottled shadows on the ground.

At the edge of this mystical forest lies a land filled with a vast outcropping of rocks, a stone forest that towered in an open space for hundreds of miles.

This stone forest was vast. Furthermore, the shape of this stone forest resembled that of a hand.

The five fingers were represented by five massive towering stone formations. The way that the central region was set up resembled a palm.

This stone forest was covered in a dense blanket of brilliant light that dazzled the eyes. Waves of strange runes shot up from the stone forest, rising up like a river of stars. A bird soul beast that had a wingspan of over 30 feet flew out from the forest and into the broad skies. However, it carefully avoided the stone forest, as if there was something terrifying within it.
Closed Door Seclusion

**Meditation** (冥想 míngxiǎng) – a practice for training or calming the mind and spirit. Cultivators spend a great deal of time in meditation, as both the cultivation of Qi and contemplation of Insights generally require it.

* Lotus Position (盘膝 pánxī) – sitting in a cross-legged meditative position.
* Closed Door Training (闭关 bìguān) – also called Closed Door Meditation or Closed Door Cultivation. Training done in seclusion, usually to focus on breaking through a bottleneck or to avoid becoming distracted at a crucial moment and suffering a backlash as a result.

### **State of Meditation**

The road of martial arts was incredibly lonely. During long periods of seclusion, one had to withstand this loneliness. One had to make their heart and mind as calm as placid water.

Although this sounded simple, people weren’t rocks after all. If a mortal were to be shut into a small black room without light, without sound, without anyone else, then they would feel as if they were going crazy in two or three days. If they were locked in for two or three months, then their mind would shatter and they would thoroughly fall into insanity.

Martial artists weren’t like this. Their minds communed with the heavens and earth, with the universe, taking the Heavenly Dao Laws as a companion.

A martial artist had to wholeheartedly devote their attention to cultivating. The reason that Lin Ming’s ethereal martial intent was so amazing was because it allowed him to eliminate all distractions from his mind.

The best condition for cultivation was to remain in a selfless state, free of all distractions. To cultivate in a time formation and also maintain the enchantment was extremely difficult. When Old Man Good Fortune had done so in the past, it was because he had reached a bottleneck in his cultivation for thousands of years already. The so-called closed door seclusion was actually sitting in meditation, self-cultivation his soul, becoming aware of the Laws, and tempering the will. Only through such a state could one freely commune with heaven and earth.

Closed-door seclusion was an imperative matter. Before entering into seclusion, one had to make sufficient preparations. One had their karma left over from their fates, otherwise a demon would be left inside their heart.

### **Life-Death Seclusion**

As a martial artist’s cultivation increased, their life would also extend. When they reached the end of their life and still hadn’t broken through the bottleneck, they would often choose life or death closed-door seclusion. If they failed to break through, then they would simply perish within.

Bai Family

* Sky Fortune City’s Bai Family had been court officials for generations. Every generation of the family, they would have someone who passed the Imperial Examination. They could be described as a scholarly family that had been prominent for centuries.
* Most of the Bai Family were scribes, they were responsible for keeping and tracking history and literature, reviewing court documents, and handling the affairs of state. The Head of the current Bai Family generation was Bai Yuanpei.
Buddhist Martial Arts

## Introduction

The Buddhist martial arts focused on tenacity and extreme defense. But, they were relatively weak in attacks in a general sense. Since they were focused on attaining an enlightened state rather than pure offensive power. The strength of the Buddha lies in its faith and devotion.

Although Buddhist cultivation methods were filled with a gentle brilliance, often focusing on mercy and compassion, they also didn’t lack the path of slaughter, the grip of grudges, spells of resentment, blood pond hells, asura battlefields, and all other sorts of evil methods.

Where there was light, there was shadow. Where there was good, there was evil. Good and evil were dependent on each other; they were indivisible concepts.

Without evil, without murder, without suffering, without illness, aging, and death, without asura hells, if all of society lived in perpetual bliss and blind happiness, how could there be the Buddhist path?

If so, no one would believe in Buddhism in this world. The sins of humanity were an essential part of Buddhism.

In the six paths of samsara within the precepts of Buddhism, only the paths of divinity and humanity were the pure moral ways. The path of asura was neither good nor evil, and as for the last three paths, each was worse than the last!

## Techniques

### **Diamon Vajra Body**

It appeared to be a blazing halo of golden light that surrounded a buddhist martial artist, filled with faint Buddhist seals that circled around. This was a secret Buddhist technique – Diamond Vajra Body.

The vajra is regarded as the symbol of highest spiritual power which is irresistible and invincible. It is therefore compared to the diamond, which is capable of cutting asunder any other substance; but which itself cannot be cut by anything.

### **Bright Buddha Palm Seal**

This was a top ability of the Great Zen Temple’s highest holy technique, ‘Great Zen Mantra’. It was difficult to learn and difficult to control, but those who did would wield a great power. The giant hand that formed was said to be able to churn the sea, shake the earth, control the heavens, and even pluck out the stars and moon from the sky.

### **Samsara Domain, Eight Sectioned Stupa**

It was formed after the shattering of the Wheel of Samsara. A titanic pagoda would be summoned, this divine pagoda glowed with a circulating golden divine light, filling the air with the breath of the Great Dao. This divine pagoda had eight floors, each floor possessing its own god.

Of these gods, some were gentle and solemn, some were fierce and overflowing with killing intent, some were as calm as a Buddha, and some were like an asura.

A stupa. In other words, a Buddhist pagoda!

Eight Sectioned Stupa is supported with the strength of eight gods from the Buddhist principles. It is a harmonic balance of Laws that is an offensive and defensive ability.

Death God Martial Intent

The **Death God** of the **Heavenly Demon** is Lin Ming's 4th Martial Intent. Creates a force field that can stimulate the primal fear within the soul itself, affecting the control that the soul has over the body. (Chapter 665)

"As for the Death God force field, that was the will to snuff out a martial artist’s source of life. If one’s will wasn’t firm or their cultivation was insufficient, then once enveloped by this Death God force field, they would immediately be killed where they stood."

After one became a twelve-winged Heavenly Demon, they could obtain the Heavenly Demon martial intent. Once this special martial intent activated, it could form a ‘domain’ around the possessor. This was the so-called ‘force field’.

Every time someone stepped into this domain, they would come under the influence of this force field, only able to use 50 to 60% of their full strength.

Death God force field, that stimulated the deepest and most primal fear within the soul itself, affecting the control that the soul had over the body. In fact, to a weaker martial artist, the Death God force field could directly strip the soul from the body, killing them without any resistance.

The weaker one was, the greater the effects of the Heavenly Demon martial intent would be on them.

This was the great power of the Death God Force Field – to extinguish all life vitality.

The Death God Force Field. To cut off the enemy’s source of life.

## Description

Formed from endless killing intent. Killing intent was itself a type of energy field. When a martial artist developed the desire to kill, they would emit an invisible energy. Once this killing intent reached an unparalleled level, it could even cut off all life vitality, extinguishing fires of life.

Obtained by forming a twelve-winged Heavenly Demon tattoo. Combining the Death God, Asura, and Prime Emperor auras forms the Heavenly Demon Martial Intent.

Divine Transformation

​Divine Transformation is when a martial artist's body transforms from a spirit body into a divine body and is part of the nine divine shifts.

## Process

The power of blood vitality rapidly grew within his body, causing his inner world to wildly shake.

The boundaries of his inner world were being constantly impacted by energy!

Lin Ming’s inner world had reached the precipice of imminent expansion, but now that it was being wildly forced open by this power it actually came bursting apart at the seams!

In that instant, all of the energy contained within his inner world surged out like an unleashed dam, wildly crashing into the boundaries set up in the void of his inner world.

Lin Ming’s inner world was soaring, rising!

And at this time, the heaven and earth origin energy within his inner world became more tranquil, drawing ever closer to the real world and reality.

The energy became increasingly strong, forming extremely rich origin energy clouds in the skies of his inner world.

Then, there was origin energy rain!

As this origin energy rain fell to the ground, young sprouts began to emerge from the earth, moistened by this rainwater.

They grew extremely fast, soon turning into ginsengs, snow lotuses, flower roots, lingzhi…

In just several breaths of time, they had grown the same span as in tens of thousands of years!

Moreover, this was not the end. After several more breaths of times, the essence energy within these plants became increasingly rich and intense. All of them began to gain a spiritual wisdom of their own and childlike phantoms evolved from their bodies, parting from the plants as they pranced about and played around in the origin energy rain.

These miracle medicinal herbs were not true plants, but plants formed by heaven and earth origin energy.

Right now, if spiritual plants were to be planted in the soil of Lin Ming’s inner world they would be able to grow just like in the real world. If an animal were to enter Lin Ming’s inner world they could also breath and survive.

This sort of change in his inner world also meant that Lin Ming had taken the final step from the Divine Sea realm into the Divine Transformation realm.

Fairy Snow Gale

## [source]

She was one of the Divine Sea masters of the Sky Spill Continent. Her talent ranks relatively higher than most Emperor level talents.

Fairy Snow Gale herself had broken through to the Revolving Core realm at 25 years of age.

## Quotes

* (Fairy Snow Gale’s heart stirred) “Listening to Senior Good Fortune’s meaning, are you planning on accepting him as a disciple? Although Senior may not be proficient in the Concepts of Thunder and Fire, you understand the Concepts of Space and Time. In that alone, you are absolutely the number one master in the entire Sky Spill Continent! And Lin Lanjian also has excellent achievements in the Concepts of Space and Time. If he can obtain your guidance, that would be an amazingly extraordinary lucky chance!”
Frost Moon

## [source]

Besides the Heavenly Palace Saintess, Fairy Frost Dream, there were also three core disciples. None of these core disciples were weak, and they were all placed into this list of 50 names.

The three of them were collectively referred to as the Three Fairies of the Divine Dream. Their names were – Frost Charm, Frost Cloud, and Frost Moon.

In Divine Dream Heavenly Palace, all disciples of Frost Dream’s generation had the surname Frost, but, only the top disciple had the qualifications to be called ‘Dream’.

This was where Frost Dream’s name originated from.

## Appearence

* A young woman in white tights. Her body was slender and tall. She had the looks of a 17-18 year old. Her hair was cut short but neat and clean.

## Weapon

### **Crescent Moon Sword**

The crescent moon sword was only three feet long. As Frost Moon held it in her hands it shined with a cold light.

This sword resembled a sickle and the blade was shaped like a crescent moon. The hilt was short, even shorter than a fist, and hard to firmly hold.

That is the crescent moon sword, Divine Dream Heavenly Palace’s unique weapon. Its attack form is very special. It uses the Ruling Spirit Art as the base.

Flay

Flaying of humans is used as a method of torture or execution, depending on how much of the skin is removed. This is often referred to as "flaying alive".

This is one of the iconic threats found within the novel. Many villains such as Situ Bonan and Bi Ruyu typically use this threat to their enemies.

After being flayed alive, one can use their skins to make skincrows. They hang these skincrows up as a warning to others. A skincrow was made from the complete skin of a human. After a human was flayed alive, the skin would be filled with straw and then sewed shut again. This was the so-called skincrow.

**Insight** (参悟 cānwù) (顿悟 dùnwù) – related to enlightenment. Cultivators usually gain insights by meditating, engaging in life-or-death battles, or going out into the world to experience new things. These insights are often needed in order to master techniques or advance to higher stages of cultivation.

The state of sudden enlightenment was something that could only be discovered through a stroke of serendipity. But even so, geniuses with decent martial talent would experience this state several times in their long lives, so entering into sudden enlightenment wasn’t strange at all. However, when one entered into sudden enlightenment, that was usually for several quarter hours or several hours at most.

A martial artist’s strange conditions were elusive. It had nothing to do with a martial artist’s talent, only a martial artist’s heart, consciousness, and other mysterious and profound things.

It was said that sometimes a martial artist would enter a mysterious state, for instance what they called ‘sudden enlightenment’ and so on. The ancient books had recorded that a martial artist would sit under a Bodhi tree, and meditate under a cliff for one night. Overnight their hair would turn white, they would awaken and discover that their cultivation method had reached the Large Success stage, and their cultivation had progressed by leaps and bounds! There were even ancient legends that said one could obtain enlightenments and become an immortal, and break from the mortal void.

### **Lin Ming**

This was a phenomenon that occurred when Mount Potala’s Bodhi tree appeared. It was a pure land of ultimate bliss within this world.

Beneath the Bodhi tree, Lin Ming had fused together several different martial intents. This allowed him to enter a completely concentrated state whenever he wished, without sound without touch, without sight without sense.

Lin Ming meditated like this, oblivious to the passing of time. He constantly sifted through the runes, obtaining realizations from the mysteries within.

Gate of Ghosts and Gods

This is the **Gate of Ghosts and Gods**. It is an extremely bizarre place within the Soul Cave, and the inside is filled with perils. After entering, there is a danger that your soul will be torn apart and your main body’s spiritual sea might even be injured.

It leads all the way to the Limitless God Mountain.

## First

In the increasingly narrow cave, a massive carved copper gate had appeared. This copper gate seemed to be wet, and exuded a mystical aura that seemed to exist all year round. Carved upon this copper gate were the heads of two fierce ghosts, each with demonic features and vile green fangs.

Strange ghostly sounds passed out from the copper gate, as if 10,000 fierce ghosts were wildly screaming and crying from within. No one knew why but they all felt their hearts speed up. Even Lin Ming noticed a strange atmosphere falling over everyone.

He noticed that upon arriving here, everyone’s eyes became far more focused and cautious.
Divine Mist Holy Lands

The **Divine Mist Holy Hands** was a top sect of the Asura Road that was lead by Divine Mist. Formerly, it was one of the two super Holy Lands of the spiritas alongside Divine Void Holy Lands which is now the Divine Void Divine Kingdom. Ever since Empyrean Divine Mist went 'missing', the sect has had to withstand the other influences nibbling away at them, and now they are no longer as radiant as they were in the past.

## Overview

At the border area of Divine Void Divine Kingdom, there was a massive sect that occupied vast swathes of land. This sect’s buildings were grand and magnificent, and at the mountain entrances, dozens of great array formations were laid down. If Lin Ming were here, then even under his high standards he would still judge these as top array formations. Once these array formations were activated together and under the management of a top powerhouse, even several Empyreans working together would find it difficult to break through!

For a sect to have such grand array formations, their background should be deep and there should be many young elites pouring forth from their ranks. However, the truth was the opposite. This sect was sparsely populated and didn’t seem to have any life to it at all. The array formations around the mountains remained unopened and unused, doing nothing but gathering dust.

This was because although these array formations were incomparably powerful, they used up too many energy stones far too quickly. The sect simply wasn’t able to keep up the supply of energy stones, thus these array formations only served as decorations now.

Without a doubt, this was a sect that had once been glorious beyond comparison, but was now in steep decline.
Golden-Winged Roc

The **Golden-Winged Roc** had a height of several tens of thousands of miles, and its wings were like endless hanging clouds that hid the sun, moon, and stars.

The Golden-Winged Roc was also known as the Nine Day Leviathan Roc. It was a wind attribute god beast that was the ancestor of ten thousand winds. The legends said that the Golden-Winged Roc ate flood dragons as food, and its degree of formidability was similar to the True Dragon and True Phoenix. This wind attribute god beast’s concept of wind was undoubtedly the best.

It could be said that the wind-attribute God Beast, the Golden-winged Roc, was the original ancestor of all wind. If the Concept of Wind was comprehended from its movements, the lofty heights of its boundary could be imagined!
Dragonscar

## [source]

**Dragonscar** was Sheng Mei's follower during the Asura Road's Final Trial.

Even though he was a mere follower, the truth is that Dragonscar is actually an extreme genius of his generation. His talent is even greater than that of the Divine Void Third Crown Prince and Bigflame by a large margin.

## Description

There was a man standing behind Sheng Mei. This man had a naked upper body and his entire chest was covered with strange mysterious tattoos. His muscles were thick and overlapping, as if they had been shaped by the endless washing of water. He emitted a deeply masculine but magnificent atmosphere.

When Sheng Mei requested three spots from Soul Emperor Divine Void, the two extra spots were for her followers.

This man was one of them. Throughout this entire time he had kept an extremely low profile, not revealing the least bit about himself.

### **Body Metamorphosis**

In the crowd, Dragonscar’s aura erupted. Snow-white scales appeared on his body as a billowing origin energy surged through the world, astonishing all. Surprisingly, this Dragonscar had a variation body.

## Relationships

### **Sheng Mei**

Towards Soul Empress Sheng Mei, Dragonscar was absolutely loyal. This was a respect and reverence that came from his heart.

Although he was only Sheng Mei’s servant, in his heart, her safety was far more important than his life.

### **Lin Ming**

When he first saw Lin Ming he had despised him due to a sense of superiority. Dragonscar’s superiority originally came from Sheng Mei. He didn’t believe that there was anyone in existence that could compare to her. At just the sixth revolution, there was nearly no one that could rival her talent beneath the True Divinity realm. As for the seventh, eighth, and ninth revolution, it was even more difficult to imagine.

But after clearing the fifth level of the Final Trial, Lin Ming’s appearance had far surpassed Sheng Mei. The natural feeling of superiority in Dragonscar’s heart was also destroyed.

No matter which race it was in the 33 Heavens, all of them admired powerhouses.

## Techniques

### **Gold Soul Force**

Dragonscar bellowed. He fiercely grit his teeth and all-consuming golden light appeared around him. This soul force flowed down into his hands, turning into a pair of golden soul force swords. As these golden swords were placed together, their golden light was blinding.

## Trivia

* His heavy sword weighed as much as a mountain.
* He had reached the 33rd final step of the Divine Seal Altar during the Final Trial that had tested one's foundation. There were only four of them that had reached that level; Sheng Mei, Lin Ming, Xiao Moxian, and himself. Although it had been difficult for him, he was still undoubtedly a heroic elite. His talent far surpassed Bigflame and the Divine Void Crown Prince’s. But due to this it can be seen that his potential is enough for him to reach the Empyrean realm and even the top of Empyreans.
* During the final trial, his completion percentage was 79, just shy of reaching 80.
Gu Xiao

## [source]

Gu Xiao, Giant Demon. She walked the world 6000 years ago. She became a Demon Emperor at 109 years of age, and perished at 130 years of age. When she died, her cultivation was a one-star Demon Emperor.

* First named female Giant Demon in the novel.

Without a doubt, if this Gu Xiao could become a Demon Emperor then she was an Emperor level talent. However, after becoming a Demon Emperor, she was only the most ordinary of Demon Emperors. All those able to become Demon Emperors were Emperor level talents. Wanting to stand out in this crowd of monstrous geniuses was extremely difficult!

Gu Xiao had become a Demon Emperor at 109 years of age – this achievement wasn’t early. In fact, her talent was much worse than Xiao Yu and Gu Yu’s from before. Those two had earned the glory of becoming Titled Asuras. If they hadn’t died at such a young age, they definitely would have become existences capable of jumping ranks to fight even after becoming Emperor level powerhouses.
Grace Venerate Nation

* Grace Venerate Nation was an extremely mysterious country, and it’s land mass was smaller than the Sky Fortune Kingdom. However, their power was even greater than Huoluo Nation.

* It wouldn’t be wrong to say that they were the strongest country within the 36 countries. The whole population of Grace Venerate Nation believed in a goddess named Chan. In Grace Venerate Nation, the theocracy was above the imperial throne. If the Emperor ascended the throne, he also needed to be crowned by the leader of their church.
	+ Jing Chanyu
	+ Jing Chanshi

* Lin Ming guessed that this ‘goddess’ named Chan had a very high possibility of being someone like the Southern Wilderness’s Sorcerer. She might have been a Supreme Being that had appeared in ancient times and left behind some inheritances and legacies after flying towards the Realm of the Gods. With her good fortunes and lucks that she left behind, this would have been the reason for the power of Grace Venerate Nation.
Flow like Silk

Flow like Silk was a method of controlling strength. The so called ‘strength’ referred to the strength of the human body; this also included the force of true essence. After reaching the Small Success of ‘Flow like Silk’, this silk-like true essence would be at one’s command.

But this silk-like true essence didn’t really have much of an effect. Because the tiny true essence threads didn’t have much offensive power, in order to give it striking power, there was only one way. That was – vibration.

### **Laws of Vibration**

The human body was composed of millions upon millions of tiny units. Whether it was the skeleton, or muscles, or blood, or anything else, they were formed from these small units that were smaller than dust. However, they actually had a very complex structure, and played different roles in the human body. When cultivation had reached a high enough realm, true essence would condense in the eye, and their vision would be improved to the limit of limits, and they would be able to discover these tiny units.

Each of these tiny units was alive. Each could breathe!

The average person’s body’s tiny units would have a breath disorder from all these tiny units breathing at different times, but if they managed to reach the Large Success stage of Strength Training’s ‘Flow like Silk’, they would be able to control the breathing rate of these tiny units so that they were consistently unified, and it would then resonate…

This was the beginning of Strength Training’s ‘Flow like Silk’, and was also the beginning of true essence vibration!
Granny Mirage

## [source]

This is Granny Mirage. In the past she was the Great World King of Illusion Palace and the Honorable Master of Divine Dream, but now she has reached a half-step Empyrean cultivation and is a Highest Elder of Divine Dream Heavenly Palace.

If this old granny was the past Great World King of Illusion Palace, then she was likely over 10 million years old. She probably didn’t have much longer to live. As for breaking through into the Empyrean realm, that was obviously impossible for her.

When a martial artist reached the fading years of their lives and were unable to make breakthroughs, with their lifespan also reaching its limit, they often developed strange personalities and were subject to rapidly shifting moods.
