Chapter 4715: The First Person of the Ages

Nine-colored thunderclouds rolled and surged, and a massive nine-colored thunder dragon appeared. The dragon blotted out the sky and earth, exuding an aura of destruction as it swooped down from high in the sky, heading directly for the deserted island where Wang Changsheng was located.

The sea surface churned and surged, and enormous whirlpools appeared. Immensely thick water spouts shot skyward, like blue water spears, heading directly towards the nine-colored thunder dragon.

Throughout history, many Dao Ancestors have emerged in the Immortal Realm. Even the strongest among them achieved Dao through special laws. Of course, there were Da Luo Golden Immortals who sought to achieve Dao through supreme laws, but without exception, they were struck down by the thunder tribulation.

The thunder tribulation for a Dao Ancestor was immense in scale; not even the Grand Five-Element Illusory Immortal Array could conceal it.

"Ninth Uncle must be achieving Dao through a supreme law! Even the Old Ancestor of the Lin Family of the Dao Clan only achieved Dao through the law of ice." Wang Qingshan's expression was solemn.

Thunder rumbled incessantly as thick nine-colored immortal lightning bolts struck down, their blinding light engulfing the entire deserted island.

Soon after, the nine-colored pagoda disappeared. In its place was a hundred-zhang-wide nine-colored pool containing some liquid.

"Nine-colored immortal milk?" Wang Changsheng exclaimed in surprise. For a Dao Ancestor, nine-colored immortal water was no longer very useful. Nine-colored immortal milk was a higher-grade heavenly treasure, exceptionally effective for healing. He had only read about it in ancient texts and had never seen it before. It was said that it took a hundred million years for a single drop of nine-colored immortal milk to form, and there was quite a lot in this pool.

Wang Changsheng quickly conjured a blue-glowing gourd. He poured immortal essence into it, and the blue gourd sprayed out a blue mist that covered the pool, collecting all the nine-colored immortal milk. The pool then dissipated, vanishing without a trace.

Wang Ruyan and others flew over, their expressions excited.

"Congratulations, my husband, on reaching the Dao Ancestor realm," Wang Ruyan said.

"Congratulations, Ninth Uncle! From now on, our family will be a Dao Clan! Haha!" Wang Qingshan exclaimed with excitement.

"Father, when do we go back and fight? Many of our clan members died at the hands of the Chaos Beasts!" Wang Qingbai asked.

"A gentleman's revenge is never too late, even after ten years. Haste makes waste," Wang Changsheng replied.

"I'll return to Qinglian Immortal Island to recuperate first. We can't stay here; let's head to the Cloud Voyage Immortal Domain! Keep the news of my advancement to Dao Ancestor a secret. When I return to the Chaos Continent again, that will be the day the Hunxie King Tribe is annihilated," Wang Changsheng said in a deep voice. He intended to conceal the news, then launch a sudden attack, catching the Hunxie King Tribe off guard.

Wang Ruyan and the others agreed, also looking forward to that day.

Wang Changsheng returned to Qinglian Immortal Island. Wang Mengbin and Wang Yingjie placed the outsiders into spatial immortal artifacts to prevent them from leaking information.

In the central part of the Chaos Continent, a vast bluestone plaza was home to a towering black spire.

Yuan and Hai stood to the side, their gaze fixed on the towering spire. After a moment, Chen walked out, its body bearing several clearly visible wounds.

After being treated by the Mother Pagoda, Chen's life was no longer in danger, but it needed a period of recuperation. The Ten Directions Parent-Child Pagoda consumed considerable vital energy to heal a Dao Ancestor, so it would not act lightly. Chen was currently the most powerful Chaos Beast, and having opened a divine soul origin law, it could do more for the Ten Directions Parent-Child Pagoda.

"Your life is no longer in danger. Go back and recuperate slowly! If I were not still recovering fully, I could completely heal you. In my current state, completely healing you would consume a vast amount of vital energy and require a long period of recovery. However, if more Dao Artifact fragments are found, I could certainly heal you completely," Teng Xiao's voice emanated from within the massive tower.

"Thank you, Lord Teng." Chen knelt down and kowtowed heavily.

"Go back and recuperate well! Do not spread the news about you opening a second origin law. When the Immortal-Chaos War starts again, find an opportunity to deliver a fatal blow to the Ancestral Dragon. Once the Ancestral Dragon is dead, the Dao Ancestors like Yuanfeng and the Beginning Qilin will be even less of a match for you. Without a Dao Ancestor, those three guys' alliance with him will be useless," Teng Xiao instructed.

If all the Dao Ancestors among the immortals were eliminated, the Dao Ancestor-level Chaos Beasts could assist the Ten Directions Parent-Child Pagoda in dealing with the three Dao Artifacts and Qing Xuan.

"Yes, Lord Teng," Chen, Yuan, and Hai replied in unison.

"Lord Teng, Immortal Lord Taihao won't advance to Dao Ancestor, will he? Immortals have many external aids; they can use their power to pass tribulations," Yuan said with some concern.

"Even if he advances to Dao Ancestor, at best, he will achieve Dao through a special law. Over the years, many heaven's favored supremes have tried to achieve Dao through supreme laws, but all have failed. He would, at most, be a second Star Lord. What I fear is merely the Dao Artifact in his possession," Teng Xiao said dismissively. If achieving Dao through a supreme law were that easy, such supremes would have appeared in the Immortal Realm long ago. Teng Xiao did not believe Wang Changsheng could accomplish it.

"That's true. A few sets of top-grade immortal artifacts imbued with Primordial Spiritual Treasures alone can't withstand a Dao Ancestor's thunder tribulation. Even the Ten Directions Dao Ancestor, who mastered artifact refining, only achieved Dao through a special law, let alone Immortal Lord Taihao," Chen said.

"Enough chatter. You may leave!" Teng Xiao instructed.

Chen, Yuan, and Hai agreed and left the area.

This was also thanks to the Two Poles Thunder Transformation Pearl. This treasure weakened the power of the thunder tribulation, especially the final bolt, whose might far exceeded Wang Changsheng's imagination. Any other defensive mutated Primordial Spirit Treasure would surely have been ruined. From this, one could see how powerful the thunder tribulation for achieving Dao through a supreme law was.

Ripples spread across the void, and a nine-colored pagoda appeared. The nine-colored pagoda was not corporeal; it cast down a ray of nine-colored immortal light that enveloped Wang Changsheng.

Wang Changsheng could clearly feel his vital energy rapidly expanding, his physical body strengthening, and his entire being filling with power.

With the deserted island as the center, an area spanning tens of billions of li was flattened by the powerful shockwaves. Numerous low-level demonic beasts that couldn't escape in time were directly turned into a mist of blood, and the void itself was torn open, covered in cracks.

After the time it takes to steep a cup of tea, the nine-colored lightning and dust dissipated, and the deserted island had vanished.

Wang Changsheng stood on the sea surface, his face pale, exuding an astonishing spiritual pressure.

He achieved Dao through the Law of Karma, having consumed a Dao Enlightenment Pill and a Dao Enlightenment Jade Sandalwood Fruit, which attracted the thunder tribulation. The fifth-rank immortal formation, the Qiankun Grand Array; the Ten Directions Immortal Armor Talismans; the Profound Cold Shield; three sets of complete top-grade immortal artifacts infused with Primordial Spirit Treasures; and the top-grade Chaos Battle Armor refined from the corpse of a ten-colored Chaos Beast — all were ruined. Only then was he able to withstand the Dao Ancestor's thunder tribulation. If he had achieved Dao through an ordinary law, not so many items would have been ruined.

Dense water spouts continuously struck the nine-colored thunder dragon. The massive body of the nine-colored thunder dragon was pierced countless times, then exploded, transforming into a huge mass of nine-colored lightning that engulfed an area of a hundred million li. Simultaneously, a powerful shockwave erupted, spreading in all directions.

They had confidence in Wang Changsheng, but the thunder tribulation for achieving Dao through a supreme law was too powerful. At least, no Dao Ancestor had ever achieved Dao through a supreme law in the Immortal Realm to date.

"Heavenly Dao reward?" Wang Changsheng was filled with both surprise and joy. No being in the Immortal Realm had ever successfully achieved Dao through a supreme law, and Wang Changsheng was the first in the Immortal Realm's history. He hadn't expected that achieving Dao through a supreme law would also bring a Heavenly Dao reward.

Two hours later, the nine-colored thunderclouds had shrunk to only a hundred zhang in size.

"What origin law did Father open? The thunder tribulation's power is so immense?" Wang Ruyan and a dozen other Da Luo Golden Immortals stood high in the sky, their expressions solemn as they gazed at the nine-colored thunderclouds above.

Time passed slowly, and thick nine-colored immortal lightning bolts struck down. The lightning grew even more dazzling, and the yellow misty sea gradually dispersed.

Wang Qingbai said with a frown. The Immortal-Slaying Dao Ancestor had achieved Dao through the Law of Sword, and his thunder tribulation was not this powerful. Wang Qingbai vaguely guessed that Wang Changsheng was about to achieve Dao through a supreme law.
