And at this moment,

The half-year awards ceremony is nearing its end.

Beyond the altar, countless leaders of forces from all the heavens and myriad realms, clan chiefs, powerful protectors, and venerable elders and giants all eagerly awaited the arrival of the altar.

Their gazes were fixed on the Starlight Grand Prize Altar in front of them, which had been reinforced by countless generations of powerful beings from all over the world.

They are waiting.

Once their own prodigies, offspring, and successors have been teleported out of the core secret realm,

Half a year is neither a long nor a short time.

For these ancient monsters who have lived for at least several thousand years, half a year is but a fleeting moment.

But for those prodigies who have entered the core secret realm,

These past six months have been a pivotal opportunity that will determine the course of their future paths.

Who will gain greater fortune in the secret realm? Who will go further during the tribulation at the Ascension Platform?

Whoever seizes the initiative in the great era to come will stand out from their contemporaries!

But today, the atmosphere outside the altar was somewhat different from the anticipation at the end of previous grand ceremonies.

There is no other reason,

Previously, the arrival of those three supreme Dao bodies from forbidden zones, and the sudden emergence of the previous generation's Great Completion Golden Body, Yue Yuan,

That earth-shattering confrontation and clash, though it ultimately ended with both sides retreating,

But that altar, reinforced by countless generations of powerful figures from various races and regions, and the gateway to the core area...

However, in the aftermath of that confrontation, it was already teetering on the brink of collapse.

At this moment, the altar was covered with countless cracks in the Dao patterns.

Splash...

Occasionally, tiny fragments of space would peel away from the edge of the portal, drifting into the void and vanishing without a trace.

Within the portal, in that boundless and vast core area, countless hijackings have recently become rampant.

One after another, the ferries, some dazzling, some dark and turbulent,

It emanated continuously from the depths of the core area, passing through the crumbling portals, and eventually dissipated into the starry sky beyond the entire altar domain.

"This is... the aura of the Sendai Calamity?"

"so much?!"

"It seems that within the core secret realm, people are successively undergoing the Tribulation of Ascension..."

"In just half a year, so many people have managed to break through to the Immortal Platform realm within this secret realm... truly worthy of being called a great era for achieving enlightenment..."

Quiet discussions rose and fell among the fleet outside the altar area.

Among them were many ancient monsters who had lived for nearly ten thousand years thanks to the Medicine King, and they naturally saw at a glance what the pervasive sense of impending doom represented.

The Sendai Secret Realm is a crucial threshold on the path of cultivation.

Crossing this threshold signifies truly entering the hall of cultivation, akin to "a fish leaping over the dragon gate."

Of course, for the geniuses of each realm, achieving this is not difficult; the difficulty lies in how one steps into this realm.

What is its cultural foundation?

Are they the Seven Forbidden Rules?

Or is it forbidden?

Or perhaps... a divine restriction?!

"The quality of this year's top talents is quite good..."

An elder from another race stroked his beard and sighed softly, a hint of approval flashing in his eyes.

"It's not bad, but compared to previous years, there are far too many variables..."

Someone beside them spoke softly, their voice tinged with helplessness and lingering fear:

"With the previous descent of the Supreme Dao Body from the Forbidden Zone and the 'birth' of the Great Completion Golden Body, this year's Grand Awards is likely to be the most turbulent in history."

"..."

Upon hearing this, everyone around fell silent.

Yes, there are too many variables.

No one knows what the situation is like inside the core secret realm at this moment.

How many people were affected during this period...?

Everything is unknown.

In this unknown situation, most of them can only wait.

……

at the same time,

Within the core secret realm, there lies an endless expanse.

Over the past twenty thousand years, through the repeated reinforcement and expansion by countless powerful individuals, this former battlefield ruins of the Supreme Realm have been divided into tens of thousands of independent barrier-protected zones.

Each person has their own world, and each place has its own destiny.

They are isolated from each other and do not communicate with each other.

And at the end of this six-month period, just like previous awards ceremonies,

Within these normally silent, independent barriers, powerful bursts of tribulation-crossing energy erupted one after another.

Sendai Catastrophe!

Within countless independent barriers,

After "acquiring" the secret realm's bounty for half a year, numerous prodigies from various races and regions chose to cross the threshold of the Sendai Secret Realm, which they could have broken through long ago.

He triggered his own Sendai calamity!

…………

Chapter 400 The gates are closed, two women search for someone (5K long chapter, please subscribe!)

Within a separate barrier,

Dao Yi stood quietly, dressed in a plain-colored Daoist robe, ethereal and otherworldly.

As the first imperial prince, his body was filled with Daoist energy, and the emerald green Daoist pattern between his brows shone brightly. Amidst this vibrant life force, his Daoist Immortal Robe spontaneously appeared, radiating a gentle imperial glow.

wow...

Right now,

Above his head, several layers of illusory platforms slowly coalesced.

Each level of the Immortal Platform is inscribed with densely packed Dao patterns, which are the blessing of bloodline, but also a kind of "limitation" in the dark.

Unlike most of the geniuses here,

He had already set foot on Sendai.

Before entering this place, he was already a cultivator at the second level of the Immortal Realm back in the Eternal Starfield.

Now, what he is undergoing is not the Sendai Tribulation, but the Great Tribulation of Immortal Three Cutting the Dao!

Boom!

Suddenly, a thunderclap resounded, and wisps of calamity filled the air; the heavenly tribulation had descended.

Outside the barrier, amidst the battlefield ruins and storm crevices, tribulation clouds gathered and thunder rumbled.

Rumble... Rumble...

In an instant,

Bolts of divine lightning, imbued with destructive power, cleaved down from the tribulation clouds, crashing down upon the Dao One.

Yet, faced with this terrifying tribulation that would make even ordinary cultivators who had already reached the third level of Immortal Cultivation pale in comparison, Dao Yi remained calm and composed throughout.

He took a step forward, his clothes fluttering in the wind, and then charged alone into the lightning, bathing himself in the impending doom.

hum!

The Dao Yan Immortal Robe suddenly erupted with dazzling imperial radiance, but just before he disappeared into the tribulation clouds, it peeled off on its own.

boom!!

however,

Dao Yi's figure disappeared into the tribulation clouds, and in the blink of an eye, the flesh and blood of his body exploded inch by inch.

Whoosh!

Splash... splash...

Countless flashes of blood-red light appeared, mingling with the tribulation lightning and transforming into a torrential downpour.

Such a miserable scene was enough to make even Dao Yi, as the emperor's son, cry out in despair.

The scene was incredibly realistic.

There was no one else here, no subordinates or followers watching; he didn't need to maintain his usual imposing and resolute image.

He was a human being, made of flesh and blood, and faced with such a powerful calamity...

How could it not hurt?!

He's not one of those playboys who pretend to be carefree and strong in front of the girl they like, while secretly heartbroken and screaming for their mother.

"what……"

During the great calamity, Dao Yi was covered in blood and looked utterly disheveled, bearing no resemblance whatsoever to an imperial prince.

Before being sealed by his father, the Great Emperor Daoyan, he was already at the second level of the Immortal Realm. When the seal was lifted, due to strengthening his foundation and other reasons, he temporarily "fell" to the first level of the Immortal Realm.

However, he quickly recovered and his foundation was far stronger than before, far surpassing that of ordinary geniuses of his generation.

Having spent over half a year cultivating in seclusion on the Eternal Main Star, and then another half year here, he relied on the Supreme Emperor Weapon to draw upon the remaining "creation" of this place, greatly stimulating his own potential.

Therefore, his cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds, advancing three steps in the second level of the Immortal Realm and reaching the stage of "Severing the Dao".

Chinese Paladin 3...

Rumble!

The great calamity lasted for several days.

It wasn't until seven days later that Dao Yi's great tribulation of severing his Dao truly came to a complete end.

The illusory image of the "Nine Heavens Celestial Platform" slowly solidified above his head, with the "dragon head" formed from the spine of a great dragon probing into it, ascending to the third level of heaven.

With each inch the dragon head rose, each step it ascended, a terrifying surge of Daoist energy flowed through it.

Chinese Paladin 3!

Such speed, such a high level of cultivation achieved at such a young age (around ten years old)

Placed anywhere in the myriad realms, it would be considered earth-shattering, and even in this great age of enlightenment, few in history could compare.

However, there was not a trace of joy in Dao Yi's expression.

Almost there!

Triggering the divine restriction, yet still falling short?!

How is this going?

What's wrong with him?

The path of cultivation is not defined by a temporary lead in realm, especially before reaching the Great Sage realm.

Dao Yi frowned, introspecting on himself.

Finally, he sighed, and a beautiful image of a delicate woman, with exquisite features and a graceful figure swaying in the breeze, inexplicably surfaced in his mind.
