In the middle of the Blood Colored Heart Lake, there was a huge cocoon pulsing nonstop, flashing pure white aura within, as if there was a cultivator breathing. The color of the Blood Colored Heart Lake had become lighter and lighter over hundreds of years, as most of the Celestial Dragon Essence Blood within had been absorbed by the huge cocoon in the center.
Or it could be said that it was condensing the real body of the Universal Celestial Dragon. Chen Xia was previously just a simple image of the Celestial Dragon. Although he could condense into the appearance of the Celestial Dragon, it still lacked something in the end, not a pure Celestial Dragon true body.
Now he was directly condensing his own body into the true body of the Universal Celestial Dragon, using a mortal body to cultivate the Universal Celestial Dragon. However, to tell the truth, his body could not be considered a mortal body. From a certain perspective, it was the most defying existence in all heavens and worlds, on the premise that he could live long enough.
And the condensing of the Universal Celestial Dragon true body was not a simple matter, especially since Chen Xia wanted to condense the true Dragon body with his human body. This was another troublesome matter of "changing his face".
After this, Chen Xia could no longer be considered human, nor could he be considered a Universal Celestial Dragon. He would only be the only special existence in all heavens and worlds.
He was both human and demon, but definitely not a human demon.
Fortunately, Chen Xia was originally a person without luck. The change of his own race would not attract the attention of Heavenly Dao, so there were no side effects.
The cocoon shook abruptly with a flash of pure white aura. The aura on the top trembled and made the sound of an eggshell cracking. The top had actually cracked open, revealing a lowered head.
Strands of pure white hair hung loosely. There were small horns on the head, but these horns were only condensed images, not real dragon horns.
It was worth mentioning that although even the hair had turned pure white, Chen Xia’s left eye was still a shade of crimson, and it was becoming brighter and brighter, as if there was a heart devil lingering.
The heart devil and Celestial Dragon now coexisted peacefully, but it did not mean they could always coexist.
Cultivators must sever the heart devil in their cultivation, otherwise their cultivation level would be limited to the Heaven Mending Realm and they would not be able to transcend the mundane and attain divinity.
And Chen Xia's current restriction by the heart devil was even more severe, directly limiting him to the Sea Inversing Realm. Although he could still store spiritual energy and his combat power was not much weaker than a cultivator of the same spiritual power at the Heaven Mending Realm, after all he did not have talents and supernatural abilities like the Small World, so he was quite a bit weaker in head-on fights.
Severing the heart devil was a hurdle that cultivators must cross on the path of cultivation.
But if Chen Xia wanted to take the path of cultivation, he would also have to cross this hurdle.
He could also choose not to take the path of cultivation and just increase his combat power through points, but increasing combat power through points was too slow. Although he would definitely become invincible in the end, the difference between being invincible after 20,000 years and after 100,000 years was still quite big.
Chen Xia's head hung low with his eyes still closed, his consciousness sunk deep, and in his sea of consciousness and heart lake, the original image of the Celestial Dragon had formed a cocoon, showing no signs of breaking open.
The heart devil sat to the side, his crimson eyes always watching the cocoon, and his eyebrows wrinkled from time to time.
Hundreds of years passed, and there was not much change with this Celestial Dragon cocoon. Although the heart devil also did not know why the Celestial Dragon formed a cocoon, for now he could only watch like this, while continuing to cultivate.
Now the spiritual energy stored in Chen Xia's body was probably equal to that of an eighth layer cultivator at the Heaven Mending Realm. Although he could not use supernatural abilities and he did not have the most powerful Small World ability that cultivators at the Heaven Mending Realm possessed, at least his combat power had been brought up.
This was also the only effort the heart devil could make. He really broke his heart for this family. I cried to death.
The Half-Immortal Sword had always been suspended to the side with no movement for hundreds of years.
Chen Xia’s awakening would have to be postponed further, because he had suffered backlash from the Heavenly Dao due to using the law of past and future. Fortunately, this was the Great Death Realm, so the backlash from the Heavenly Dao was not strong. It only caused Chen Xia’s spiritual energy to sink deep while his consciousness fell unconscious.
The loss of consciousness combined with the Celestial Dragon’s transformation meant complete hibernation. It was estimated that he would not awaken until at least the completion of the Celestial Dragon’s transformation.
The heart devil could not do anything and could only stay by the cocoon and wait for the transformation to complete.
The huge Blood Colored Heart Lake shook again, as if the heart was pumping blood, all injected into the cocoon in the very center.
The opportunity brought by the ruins of the Celestial Dragon was even more astonishing than that of other great sacred ruins, because this opportunity was not only the chance to become a Great Sacred Being, but also the inheritance of bloodline.
Whoever was the last Universal Celestial Dragon in all heavens and worlds would be able to obtain the final emperor's seat of the Universal Celestial Dragon clan!
As the Old Dragon had said with regret before, he was originally able to become an emperor, but the battle for domination interrupted his emperor path. So he wanted to rebuild his emperor path by sacrificing those of the same race. This led to a big mistake.
Since the Old Dragon, the pure bloodline of the Universal Celestial Dragons had been completely cut off without any emperors appearing for many eras.
Now, the heavy opportunities were all added to Chen Xia, this last Universal Celestial Dragon. The silence of the Universal Celestial Dragons for many eras was exchanged for an ironclad emperor’s seat for Chen Xia in all heavens and worlds.
That was to say, the opportunity Chen Xia got from this great sacred ruin was not the chance to become a Great Sacred Being, but the chance to become an emperor!
On the path of cultivation, those who make progress first are superior. Every step in the future will also be on high ground.
Chen Xia was equivalent to securing the championship before even starting to run. Anyway, the final supreme seat would definitely have a share belonging to him.
And not just one share.
The Half Immortal Sword, three million flying swords, Dark Purple Celestial Thunder, the Great Way of Time, etc.
If Chen Xia comprehended all the Great Daos, he might occupy more than just one seat by himself.
Don’t ask. Just say his butt is big enough to sit on multiple seats.
The fifth great sacred ruin in the Great Death Realm opened up successively.
The strongest few cultivators also had a clear ranking.
The Lord of Thousand Stars would definitely take up one spot. Then the Water and Fire Immortal, who obtained the opportunity of the Five Elements Great Sage, would also take up a spot. Then there was the Little Supreme of the Supreme Realm, who obtained the opportunity of the Extreme Yin Ice.
These three were currently the top combat powers, led by the Lord of Thousand Stars, then the Little Supreme of the Supreme Realm, and then the Water and Fire Immortal.
Apart from them, the other former top geniuses also had rankings.
The Divine Realm Prince was still the leading figure. The combat with his two spears was extremely fierce. He also performed outstandingly during the contests over several great sacred ruins. It was just that his luck itself was truly lacking.
The rest of the top geniuses did not have much changes either. The only one worth mentioning was Xu Zhen.
Xu Zhen's ranking had dropped, and she almost fell out of the top ten on the Heaven Ranking.
The reason was that she had lost a battle.
A battle against the Heaven Realm Little Heavenly Emperor.
Some said that Xu Zhen's Dao Heart had become unstable ever since she lost that battle.
But that was not the case.
Her Dao Heart had already become unstable even before the battle!
This was also the biggest reason Xu Zhen lost to the Little Heavenly Emperor. Fortunately, Xu Zhen had formidable methods of self preservation and escaped after being heavily injured. She then went silent, presumably to nurse her injuries somewhere without revealing any traces.
Some said Xu Zhen had brought it on herself, leaving the Immortal Realm to stay with Chen Xia, voluntarily falling from grace and ruining her own future.
If looking purely from the current situation, it did seem to be the truth.
Between the distant galaxies, Xu Zhen remained silent.
Her eyes flowed like stars that had lost their light, looking at an entire galaxy, trying to find light within the stars.
The dark starry sky did not respond.
Silence.
More silence still.
Suddenly Xu Zhen stretched out her hand towards the front and gritted her teeth.
"If you don’t come looking for me again, I’ll go find you myself!"
After being apart for eight thousand years, she did not want to wait any longer.

nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
