Chapter 337: Chapter 327: When the Dust Settles, See Qingzhao, the Great Moon Cold and Vast Requires 9 Stages of Cold!

Bloodline Dream Realm of the Cold Moon Dragon.

「The ninth scene of the dream realm.」

In the legendary Black Heaven, on this day, another Heavenly Talent arrived who was about to complete the Nine Heavens Ancient Path—Han Jiuming!

To become a Great Emperor, there are five conditions, and I have already completed the first three.

If I also complete the fourth condition, then I can be considered to have achieved Unconventional Tao Achievement.

Hong Yuan had now revealed his True Body as the Cold Moon Dragon, meandering through Black Heaven.

This place resembled a desolate cosmic space, utterly silent.

Countless stars and planets floated freely in Black Heaven, never interacting—only silent darkness and cold loneliness persisted.

Here, terrifying space storms and Starry Sky Desolate Beasts appeared from time to time; it was fraught with danger.

Most fatal of all, this place constantly sapped the Immortal Nuance from Saints.

If one’s strength had not reached the Great Saint Level, they simply could not enter this place.

Any Saint below the Great Saint Level would likely be killed by various catastrophes or Starry Sky Desolate Beasts upon entering.

Even a Great Saint had to be among the elite to have a slight chance of self-preservation.

Hong Yuan had come here because he wanted to remain in Black Heaven, using his own Life Span to outlast the Soul Killing Martial Saint, ensuring the latter died before achieving Emperorship. Otherwise, once the Soul Killing Martial Saint achieved Emperorship, all would be set in stone!

And the most crucial step was to allow this body to attain an Unconventional Tao Realm.

"ROAR—"

A ferocious Starry Sky Desolate Beast roared, recklessly lunging at Hong Yuan.

It resembled a great ape, its entire body covered in starlight, as if made of starlight, sparkling. From its physique, one could tell that it harbored a terrifying power within, infinitely approaching the Quasi-Emperor level.

This was an immense creature, its body of starlight, its armor the Milky Way. In its hand, it held a heaven-reaching rod forged from clusters of stars, astoundingly formidable.

Perfect. I’ll use your Origin of the Stars to help my Immortal Aperture Origin undergo a transformation and produce Yellow Apricot Immortal Nuance!

Hong Yuan was delighted at the prospect.

With these Starry Sky Desolate Beasts contributing to his cause, he could complete the fourth condition for becoming a Great Emperor sooner and step into the Unconventional Tao Realm earlier.

Although this Unconventional Tao Realm might very well be an illusion within a dream realm, it is, after all, still an Unconventional Tao Realm!

"Cold Moon Seal!"

Hong Yuan decisively used the Innate Divine Ability of the Cold Moon Dragon.

The sky changed color, thunder erupted, and hurricanes howled.

A great Cold Moon slowly rose behind Hong Yuan, hanging high and radiating an oppressive might over Black Heaven.

The Starry Sky Desolate Beasts dwelling within Black Heaven all felt a looming disaster.

They trembled, letting out collective roars.

One after another, the Starry Sky Desolate Beasts, as if driven mad, rushed towards Hong Yuan in waves.

"Cold Moon Seal!"

"Cold Moon Seal!"

Hong Yuan showed no mercy, freely unleashing his Divine Power to freeze these Starry Sky Desolate Beasts before swallowing them whole.

His tremendous commotion also alarmed the Quasi-Emperors of the Human Race and the Demon Clan stationed within Black Heaven.

The Demon Clan Quasi-Emperor was overjoyed, while the Human Race Quasi-Emperor was thrown into a panic.

After sensing Hong Yuan’s aura for a brief moment, the Human Race Quasi-Emperor quickly exited Black Heaven. He rushed towards the Human Race Heavenly Palace to report this astonishing news.

"Han Jiuming’s strength has broken through to its utmost limit; he’s initiating an Unconventional Tao Tribulation!"

Fast, too fast. The speed at which this generation’s Demon Race Destiny had grown was astonishing.

Consider their Human Race Destiny: the Soul Killing Martial Saint had only recently reached the eighth rank. He was still striving to conquer the Heaven Earth Secret Realm, Luopo Valley.

BOOM—

Hong Yuan paid no heed. With one sweep of his tail, he obliterated several Starry Sky Desolate Beasts, shattering a part of the Star Region.

He was wholeheartedly accumulating his Immortal Aperture Origin, striving to produce Yellow Apricot Immortal Nuance!

Sixty-five percent...

Seventy-three percent...

Eighty-two percent... 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Within Hong Yuan, plump globules of White Lychee Immortal Nuance were transforming into Yellow Apricot Immortal Nuance.

If Saints were compared to super Mecha, then the different qualities of Immortal Nuance would correspond to their energy sources.

The higher the quality of the Immortal Nuance, the greater the boost it provided to the Saint.

Sixth transformation, Qingti fruit; seventh transformation, red jujube; eighth transformation, white lychee; ninth transformation, yellow apricot!

The quality of Immortal Nuance was also a major reason why lower-ranked Saints found it difficult to overcome those of higher ranks.

At this moment, a rumbling sound echoed from the Demon Realm within Hong Yuan’s body.

The sea of White Lychee Immortal Nuance within the Immortal Aperture Origin was evolving into a sea of Yellow Apricot Immortal Nuance.

Once the transformation was one hundred percent successful, Hong Yuan would have completed the fourth condition for becoming a Great Emperor, stepping into an Unconventional Tao Realm.

「Three days and three nights later.」

As a globule of Yellow Apricot Immortal Nuance emerged, Hong Yuan’s aura suddenly changed.

Hong Yuan felt as though a pair of warm hands had grasped his Cold Moon Dragon body, caressing it up and down, making him feel extremely comfortable.

With thunderous roars, his Cold Moon Dragon body transformed segment by segment.

The Milky Way, with its myriad stars, ebbed and flowed all around him.

The surviving Starry Sky Desolate Beasts regained clarity in their eyes, hastily retreated from Hong Yuan, and stared at him in shock.

"Is this... a True Dragon!?"

Hong Yuan slowly opened his dragon eyes. The vast, ancient aura oppressed the group of Starry Sky Desolate Beasts to the point that they could hardly breathe.

With a thought, a massive star mirror materialized before him, reflecting his majestic figure.

Antlers like a deer, a head like a camel, eyes like a rabbit, a neck like a snake, a belly like a mirage, scales like a fish, talons like an eagle, paws like a tiger, and ears like an ox.

All these distinct features unmistakably told Hong Yuan that this body had transformed into a True Dragon.

A pair of vertical pupils, distinct in black and white, contained the universe and its stars, reflecting his sharp, straight white horns. His fully transformed, thick dragon tongue licked over his neat rows of feral teeth. His vast dragon body, winding a full three thousand li, was covered in starlight-like cool scales...

This was the True Dragon of Great Moon!

Have I become a True Dragon?

No, True Dragons are supreme beings like the Dragon Sun Emperor.

At most, I can only be considered a pseudo-dragon, infinitely close to a True Dragon. Unconventional Tao Achievement is, after all, not the same as being a Great Emperor!

Still, this made Hong Yuan incredibly excited.

Soon, he suppressed his joy and prepared to face the great Unconventional Tao Tribulation.

However, he waited for half a day, yet the fabled Unconventional Tao Tribulation showed no sign of appearing!

When Hong Yuan realized this, he was astonished.

No way! According to the ancient records, even a Son of Fortune should face the resurgence of the Great Emperor Mark and be obstructed by Them.

Given ’Han Jiuming’s’ situation, he should have faced even more disasters. This is too easy, much too easy.

Realizing this, Hong Yuan was somewhat stunned.

Even though he knew the Demon Clan’s Destiny would be escorted by the will of Heaven and Earth to an Unconventional Tao Realm, this was too exaggerated!

After a long while, Hong Yuan forced himself to accept this fact.

After all, it was normal for the constitutions of Sons of Fortune to vary.

Perhaps this was the limitation of Dream Tao...

If the Great Emperor Mark could truly manifest in the dream realm, Hong Yuan would have to wonder. Could a Great Emperor be at play within Dream Tao, seeking a chance for resurrection?

Sons of Fortune are truly blessed by heaven. It’s just unfortunate that I am only the Destiny of the Demon Clan; the Human Race’s Destiny is even more favored by the will of Heaven and Earth.

It seems that the ninth scene of the dream realm is not so easy to complete, after all.

Unconventional Tao Achievement is not the same as a true Great Emperor. My plans must still progress step by step; I cannot act recklessly.

Hong Yuan sensed something and set his course.

He glanced over and saw that the Starry Sky Desolate Beasts were prostrating themselves before him; even calamities such as spatial storms had subsided.

Seeing this, he spontaneously chanted a verse:

"Walking alone on the lengthy road, beset with trials, my thoughts in disarray.

In dreams do I wander, limitless; transcending as a feather beyond the heavens, all darkness forgotten.

In the pitch-black of night, I seek the light; as I hold the magnificent stars, my chest swells with pride.

As the dust settles, clarity is restored; the Great Moon must endure nine chilling hardships!"
