The Transcendent God Realm corresponded to the high-ranking godhood! Every being that could reach such a level possessed overwhelming strength. Pang Jian, having only just stepped into this realm, was unaccustomed to the nature of his newfound power. The powers he was meant to grasp in this realm felt unfamiliar and unrefined in his hands. As he carefully studied the battle between Long Di and Yuan Yi, he began to understand what the Transcendent God Realm entailed. At this very moment, he felt himself becoming one with the Nether Abyss. His breathing aligned with the flow of the Nether Abyss; his thoughts, the voice of the Nether Abyss itself. He felt as though he were the embodiment of the Nether Abyss's will and the crystallization of its wisdom; destined to safeguard and sweep away all threats. Acting on behalf of this world was acting on behalf of himself. To ascend to the Transcendent God Realm is to draw upon the divine, to give form to miracles. These miracles are, by their very nature, sublime, wonders that defy the limits of reality. It is possible to level mountains, part the seas, shatter stars, restore the dead, give birth to creation, or forge new worlds from nothing. Pang Jian was not the first to ascend to this realm. Those who ascend to the Transcendent God Realm gain the ability to manifest these miracles, shaped by their unique understanding of the Heavenly Dao. Deep mastery of the Heavenly Dao allows its most wondrous manifestations to take form. But Pang Jian was different. The Dao of Chaos he had grasped encompassed a vast multitude of Heavenly Daos. The profound insights of every Heavenly Dao he comprehended had resurfaced when he forged his Immortal Divine Soul, etched into his bones, coursing through his acupoints, and resonating within his five viscera. What he lacked was the energy required to awaken and echo with each of his Heavenly Daos. Now, as the spiritual qi of the Nether Abyss poured into him and as his understanding of the Transcendent God Realm deepened, he began to seek out all forms of energy that could resonate with the Heavenly Daos inscribed in his Immortal Divine Soul. And then, miracles began to unfold across the scattered fragmented lands and shattered continents! From the dense, ancient forests, motes of flickering emerald light drifted forth. Blending with the ambient spiritual qi, they flowed together with a soft glow into Pang Jian's burgeoning Immortal Divine Soul. Violent storms surged in from the regions of extreme cold, carrying cold currents toward Pang Jian. From scorched lands filled with blistering heat, sulfurous flames rose from the earth to be carried by the winds to converge upon him. Across the boundless sea, the misty sea vapor began to gather and float toward him. From deep within the heart of the earth, a gray, obscure force emerged and made its way to him. Even the essence of metal, drawn from golden peaks, silver veins, and iron-rich ores, was pulled forth, streaking through the air toward Pang Jian. Above, in the starry skies beyond, the light of countless celestial bodies suddenly seemed to bend and focus, focusing on a single figure. Everything poured into Pang Jian! In response, his Immortal Divine Soul expanded larger and larger. From a hundred zhang to a thousand, and then soaring beyond ten thousand zhang in height! His Immortal Divine Soul had become a terrifying vortex, devouring all forms of energy found within the Nether Abyss. The pressure from his Immortal Divine Soul was as vast and mighty as the boundless sea at the bottom of the Nether Abyss. Slowly but surely, he was becoming the most powerful source of energy in the entire Nether Abyss! "Transcendent God Realm..." Pang Jian narrowed his eyes. The towering ape that had once seemed untouchable, a being that had overshadowed him in every sense, now no longer seemed so distant. Bit by bit, he had caught up. His cultivation realm and presence had grown to be on par with that savage ape. In that moment, Pang Jian also realized that his new Immortal Divine Soul could now handle far more energy than ever before! Nourished by the corresponding energies now pouring into him, those insights burst forth in radiant brilliance, manifesting as wondrous, otherworldly phenomena within his bones, acupoints, and five viscera. With the wisdom and insights granted by the Soulstream, his understanding of the Heavenly Daos he had once grasped had risen to a whole new level. Pang Jian fixed his gaze on the massive weapon Yuan Yi wielded. "The Celestial Fey Warhammer..." He watched the strange hearts orbiting the lotus-shaped warhammer and sensed that the Dao of Life within was far greater than his own. It flowed through the warhammer, guiding and driving everything into motion. Along the silvery body of the warhammer, intricate patterns were engraved, forming arrays that amplified the Dao of Life. Upon closer inspection, he realized that the most delicate parts of the design were formed of crystal bloodline chains that extended from the core of the weapon! At the center of the interwoven crystal bloodline chains was an image of a gray ape, formed entirely of blood essence. Its limbs were connected to countless crystal bloodline chains, pumping immense blood essence into the Celestial Fey Warhammer and continuously stabilizing the arrays etched within. Countless burning souls and spectral entities came together to form a soul confinement net, yet it did not seem to affect the gray ape in the slightest. The ape was the weapon's array core. Born from Yuan Yi's blood essence, it was capable of attacking with the Celestial Fey Warhammer on his behalf. Surprisingly, compared to Yuan Yi's bloody red eyes, the gray ape possessed a rare pair of ice-blue heterochromatic eyes and bore a striking resemblance to Yuan Qi. Pang Jian's understanding of the Dao of Life deepened once more. "So the blood essence that gives birth to Yuan Qi in the Abyss really did originate from Yuan Yi. The mysteries of life are far deeper than I imagined. Yuan Qi's rapid rise in strength must be intimately tied to Yuan Yi." "Pang Jian!" Long Di and Bai Zi shouted his name with ragged and hoarse voices. To Pang Jian, their cries sounded distant and dreamlike, as though traveling from another world. Suddenly, the giant elephant, qilin, giant stag, and sun-swallowing toad, ancient Fey Gods conjured from Yuan Yi's blood essence, stepped out of the blood-hued illusory world and began striking the equally illusory Sunken Crypts. One Sunken Crypt after another was shattered beneath the assault of those ancient Fey Gods. Wielding the Nether Abyss Reincarnation Spear, Long Di stirred the cycle of reincarnation with each spear thrust. He felt the invisible karmic thread binding him to the ancient ape forcibly severed by the bloodstained mountains within the ancient ape's sea of consciousness. The rings of mysterious ripples that surrounded the ancient ape also began to rupture one after another, their suppressive power unraveling. "Bai Zi!" The ancient ape's eyes, like deep crimson suns, swept coldly toward her. A veil of blood-red light enveloped Bai Zi, and in that instant, the World God of the Nether Abyss fell completely under his sway. At this moment, the two Nether Gods who were capable of contending with the ancient ape were being utterly overwhelmed. His power bore down on them from all directions, leaving them barely able to lift their heads. Countless arcs of blood-red lightning, each as fine as a strand of hair, burst from the world created by the World God Pendant. They scattered throughout the Nether Abyss, intertwining with the Nether Abyss's fundamental laws. The entire Nether Abyss began to brim with the ancient ape's aura. The pervasive infiltration spread through every living being within the Nether Abyss. To Pang Jian's shock, he discovered that not just the Nether Race, but even the Demon, Ghost, and Sea Races born within the Nether Abyss now carried faint traces of the ancient ape's aura. The fundamental laws of the Nether Abyss had been tainted, and that corruption was influencing everything. If the foreign laws spread unabated, the Yuan Yi may eventually invoke his dominion over the Dao of Life and wipe out every living being in the Nether Abyss. The Nether Race could be wiped out in the blink of an eye. A cosmic shift was no longer just a possibility, it was rearing its ugly head fast. In the future, the Fey Race would replace the Nether Race and claim this world as their own. Pang Jian saw through the truth hidden deep beneath the surface. He uncovered Yuan Yi's secret scheme and foresaw the inevitable outcome. If left unchecked, the Nether Abyss would face a catastrophic end. The question was, how could he stop it? "The strongest high-ranking god beneath the Sovereigns. His reputation is well deserved." The Transcendent God Realm was distinguished by the miracles created and wonders that defy the ages. He was now a divine being born from the Nether Abyss. The miracles of this world should be his to create. He could hear the cries of the Nether Race—pleas, prayers, muffled sobs, and the helpless fear of an inescapable future. The entire Nether Abyss was steeped in sorrow. All those with ties to the Soulstream seemed to be reaching out to it in desperate appeal, and every one of those thoughts, every whispered plea, surfaced naturally within the depths of Pang Jian's soul. The overwhelming chorus of voices coalesced into a torrent of light, crashing into Pang Jian's heart and stirring him to his core. "Divine manifestation," Pang Jian whispered lightly. In the sky above him, a mountain wreathed in a metallic sheen manifested in an instant, emanating an irresistible magnetic force. Countless bolts of lightning began to appear across the surface of the Ironsteel Peak, coiling like vines as they unleashed the profound essence of the Dao of Metal. The ancient ape's Celestial Fey Warhammer was thrown into disarray and pulled by the Dao of Metal of the strange mountain. The warhammer that was shaped like a lotus wobbled midair, and the countless orbiting hearts began colliding with each other. One after another, the hearts exploded, bursting into fragments that turned back into Ancient Fey characters. With that, the seal that had been suppressing the blood and flesh of living beings in the Nether Abyss came undone. The Nether Gods and Nether Race warriors were relieved that the formless weight crushing their hearts disappeared, as if a massive hammer had been lifted from their chest.
