Inside the Gate of Ruination, thick threads of law power were intertwined like rainbows, engulfing the world and filling it with waves of destructive aura.

It was a sight that would plunge even Emperors into despair.

It was no exaggeration to say that without the protection of that platform, even formidable Emperors were doomed to a tragic fate if they barged into here.

Back then, Jun Huan also had to retreat when she came here.

Ji Xuan, who was unwilling to give up, also faced terrifying danger and had been suppressed ever since, left in a foggy state after almost losing his life.

Swoosh!

Carrying Lin Xun, the platform sailed through the great dao law power like a boat on a river, effortlessly dissolving this deadly power that could take the lives of powerful Emperor cultivators.

There had been frightening moments but no danger.

An unknown amount of distance was crossed, but suddenly a towering stone wall had appeared, blocking the path ahead.

The stone wall had a glossy, mirror-like finish, with obscure and mysterious great dao power surging up to the surface, morphing into all sorts of visions across the wall.

In a corner of the stone wall, a small hole was visible.

Originally, the stone wall exuded an aura of perfection, but the emergence of this hole marred its flawless charm, revealing the essence of ‘the imperfect great dao.’

The platform came to a halt and remained still.

On the platform, the unconscious Lin Xun was also completely still.

Only the sea of law power danced around in the unknown world, while the atmosphere remained shrouded in mystery and silence.

Several days passed by.

The platform remained motionless, and Lin Xun also showed no signs of waking up from his deep slumber.

Even Ji Xuan who was hiding in the Sky-Blotting Talisman and Sword Spirit Ye Zi who was lurking within Lin Xun’s hair fell silent after entering the Gate of Ruination.

Their powers had been completely suppressed, making it impossible for them to sense anything here!

Time seemed nonexistent within the Gate of Ruination. Before they knew it, half a month had passed.

Overhead, a torrent of forbidden tribulation aura suddenly surged out.

If this happened in the outside world, it would instantly capture the attention of countless powerful figures. This was because the aura was too overwhelmingly taboo and terrifying, as if it heralded the end of the world, plunging people into despair.

However, in this world of the Gate of Ruination, the appearance of the taboo tribulation aura immediately set off the great dao law power that enveloped the world, sending it surging into the air.

Rumble!

A low rumble reverberated through the sky.

Visibly, the taboo tribulation power was being eradicated by the great dao law power, receding like a tide.

At the same time, Lin Xun, who had been motionless for a half a month, twitched his fingers.

Immediately after that, an astonishing transformation power erupted from his bloodstained body.

It was like a withered tree coming back to life in spring!

Within him, his long-drained cultivation, along with his depleted energy, spirit and qi, miraculously surged back to life, flowing into every part of his body like a gurgling stream.

His limbs, meridians, blood vessels, organs, acupoints, and bones...all glowed with renewed vitality like parched land being refreshed by the spring rain.

This transformation continued for seven days.

A week later.

His external injuries had long since healed, leaving his skin crystal clear and smooth, with every pore filled with mysterious dao power, as if he had been reborn.

Meanwhile, the inside of his body was rumbling like thunder!

Divine power was roaring like the great Yangtze River, cleansing his organs, bones, and limbs.

Upon a closer look, his meridians had become supple and strong, as if they were polished from divine jade. In addition, they were imbued with wisps of great dao law power that glowed splendidly like shimmering vein lines.

Dao Veins!

In his five major organs sat the five great dao bodies. Each one was bathed in divine light like divine beings: Green, white, yellow, black and red. They all exuded a spiritual power.

Furthermore, his chaos hole, which resembled the initial form of a world, had transformed into a complete world, with boundless spirit power taking the form of mountains, rivers and various landscapes of the universe!

Chaos Hole Transformed World!

Additionally, in his mind-sea, his primordial spirit had transformed into a deity dharma form, an exact likeness of himself, standing tall in midair with great dao law power guarding it from every direction. Its majestic appearance and splendid glow illuminated the vast mind-sea!

When the spirit condensed, the dharma form was born.

This was called the Spirit Divine Form!

Whether it was the Dao Veins, the Chaos Hole Transformed World, or the Spirit Divine Form, they were all characteristics unique to the quasi-Emperor Stage.

It seemed that, during the deep slumber, Lin Xun had broken through and stepped into the Quasi-Emperor Stage!

At this moment, Lin Xun’s consciousness gradually restored, as if he was awakening from a dream. He immediately noticed the tremendous transformation in himself.

Sensing the completely unfamiliar and frightening power within him, Lin Xun froze in shock, drifting into a state of confusion and astonishment. A long time passed before he came to the conclusion that he had become a quasi-Emperor!

However, rather than looking surprised, he instead seemed somewhat nervous.

Did this breakthrough lead to the supreme path?

There is a world of difference between a supreme quasi-Emperor and an ordinary quasi-Emperor!

He racked his brain, trying to bring back the memory.

He seemed to pick up some fragmented and blurred images from his ocean of memory, and scenes from seven days ago began to flash across his mind.

That day, a taboo tribulation emerged deep in the sky, but it was dispelled by the great dao law power within the Gate of Ruination...

That must have been my tribulation for breaking through!

Seven days ago, an earthshaking tribulation struck down from the depths of the sky in an attempt to kill him, but it was wiped out by the great dao law power that shrouded this place.

In a state of muddled confusion, he triumphed over the terrifying tribulation, which led to a transformative change in himself, allowing him to leap from the Saint Stage to the Supreme Quasi-Emperor Stage!

Inhaling deeply, Lin Xun silently investigated the unfamiliar power swirling within him.

In the end, he let out a long sigh of relief.

He concluded that the cultivation he possessed was beyond the ordinary Quasi-Emperor Stage!

It should be noted that Lin Xun had exchanged blows with quasi-Emperors before, and the number of quasi-Emperors who had died at his hands was greater than he could count on his fingers.

Moreover, before participating in the Dao Debate Assembly, he had battled several quasi-Emperors from Xuanji Dao Sect.

He believed he had a good understanding of a quasi-Emperor’s power.

The cultivation he possessed right now, whether it was in terms of strength or quality, was superior to that of an ordinary quasi-Emperor.

If the power of an ordinary quasi-Emperor was likened to a lake, then the power possessed by a supreme quasi-Emperor was like a vast ocean!

“I unleashed my cultivation in an ultimate battle, and faced a great tribulation in a state of ultimate exhaustion, engulfed by an emptiness… This can be considered as an ultimate transformation and being reborn...” Lin Xun murmured.

A sense of satisfaction that he had never felt before surged into his heart.

If he just wanted to enter the Gate of Ruination, he could have simply activated his Time Stopping power and no one would be able to stop him. He would not need to do anything else.

However, that was not what he wanted!

At that time, he had reached the perfect Supreme Saint-King Stage, but no one had ever been able to truly push him to the point of unleashing his ultimate power.

He had always been disappointed by this.

But that earthshaking battle gave him what he wanted, providing him with a chance to unleash his ultimate strength and to prove himself.

In the entire world, none of my peers is a match for me. At least, in the Saint Stage, my dao...can be called invincible!

I wonder how I compare to Senior Brother Xuankong back then...

Not long after that, he opened his eyes, and was immediately greeted by the strands of dancing great dao law power in the sky.

This was the Gate of Ruination!

At this point, Lin Xun was fully awake. He looked at the platform below and the towering stone wall on the other side.

He stood up and surveyed the surroundings.

Where would the chaos treasure, which has captured the attention of the world, be hidden?

Lin Xun looked around cautiously. He did not dare to step away from the platform or release his spirit sense, for fear of coming into contact with the great dao law power nearby and triggering a fatal disaster.

After a long while, he frowned slightly.

There was no chaos treasure here. Apart from the endless rain of law power, the nearby stone wall and the platform he was sitting on...

The platform?

Suddenly, he seemed to realize something. He stood up and studied the platform closer.

This platform is magical. It treated the law power of heaven and earth here as nothing and it was able to freely move in and out of the Gate of Ruination.

It was because his Senior Sister Jun Huan left behind an imprint of power that it created an inseverable bond between him and the platform, which also provoked attacks from many cultivators.

But it was also this platform that gave Lin Xun the opportunity to enter the Gate of Ruination!

However, neither he nor Mi Wuya and the others had ever thought about whether the platform might be the precious chaos treasure!

Is it really the platform?

Lin Xun attempted to communicate with it with his spirit sense and mind.

After a moment, silently, a wisp of unfathomable willpower rippled.

“I am the spirit of Mount Heedless, formed from the willpower of Mount Heedless. A long time ago, a woman informed me through a secret technique that someone would take me away in the future. I believe...she had been talking about you.”

The spirit of Mount Heedless!

Lin Xun trembled inwardly, and at the same time he guessed that the woman that the Mount Heedless spirit mentioned must be his Senior Sister Jun Huan.

“No wonder…” Lin Xun mumbled, then it struck him, “Could it be...you are the chaos treasure?”

𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

The platform glowed a dim light as it released another ripple of energy. “No, I am just a wisp of willpower. The real chaos treasure is this Mount Heedless.”

Lin Xun’s eyes bulged wide, as if he had been struck by lightning.

Mount Heedless?

Chaos treasure?

Everyone knew about Mount Heedless, but who would have imagined that it was the chaos treasure that everyone coveted?

“One does not know the true face of the sacred mountain because one is standing on it...”

Lin Xun’s emotions fluctuated.
