Chapter 638: – Transcending Catastrophe

Even in this world, the ninth rank would mean that one could not easily reach the peak of the Heavenly Venerate level. Not many people in this world could reach this level since ancient times. It was apparent how difficult it was.

However, for Chen Heng, it was as easy as it seemed. The simplest thing was to plunder the natural creation of this world, for example, the Earth Heavenly Weapon that contained the origin of heaven and earth.

The Earth Heavenly Weapon contained the world’s origin. It was nurtured by the world and possessed incredible powers and characteristics. It was the great nature creation between heaven and earth. Upon obtaining it, one could expect enlightenment, self-nourishment, and even receive the baptism of nature creation between heaven and earth.

This applied to ordinary mortals, not to mention Chen Heng. If he could obtain an Earth Heavenly Weapon with his current condition, he could strengthen his origin by seizing the Earth Heavenly Weapon’s origin. With the characteristics of the Earth Heavenly Weapon’s origin, as long as Chen Heng consumed enough, it was only a matter of time before he advanced to the ninth rank.

Chen Heng had had a few chances to see those Earth Heavenly Weapons in these thousands of years. However, he just watched silently and did not take the initiative to attack because of Bai An.

For Chen Heng, time had lost its meaning at this moment. It was nothing to him, nothing more than a matter of spending more time. On the contrary, if he had attacked thousands of years before, it would have directly disrupted Bai An’s plans or put him in a difficult situation.

After all, Chen Heng’s existence was not a secret in the cultivation world. Once he was exposed, it would be a matter of time before Bai An’s identity was revealed.

Chen Heng was not the type of person who liked to cheat others, so he endured it and quietly cultivated by Bai An’s side and did nothing else. As time passed, his strength gradually increased, and it seemed to be reaching a critical point. Chen Heng was not anxious but quietly watched Bai An progress and observed his subsequent cultivation.

After a long cultivation period, Bai An had already overcome many thresholds and was about to reach that climacteric. By Chen Heng’s standards, he was currently at the peak of the sixth rank and was only one step away from the seventh rank. Advancing from the sixth rank to the seventh rank was like moving from the third rank to the fourth rank. It was a huge threshold.

However, the rewards would be astonishing once one overcame it. It would be an epic in the world of Gods and the lowest threshold for a Heavenly Venerate.

Bai An would undoubtedly have outstanding achievements if he could leap to this level. Only then would Chen Heng be impressed with him. As for cultivation before the seventh rank, it was just a small matter in Chen Heng’s eyes. Regardless of how much experience he had, it would at most give Chen Heng some reference effect. It was impossible to achieve a better result.

After all, it was irrefutable that the cultivation difference between both sides was tremendous. Bai An’s cultivation could help Chen Heng comprehensively when he reached the seventh rank.

Based on Chen Heng’s understanding of Bai An’s situation, this was equivalent to observing the entire process of a powerhouse advancing to the seventh rank or even higher. The effect was inevitable. It would be a considerable improvement even for someone at Chen Heng’s level.

Thinking of this, Chen Heng could not help but look forward to it even more and began to observe it seriously. Therefore, the ancient sword vibrated and took the initiative to revive in the following period, bringing more help and changes to Bai An.

This change in the ancient sword surprised Bai An to a certain extent, making him feel pleasantly surprised. His cultivation base began to increase rapidly with the help of the ancient sword.

Another thousand years passed. Bai An was utterly trapped in the Eternal Dynasty’s secret realm. He went into seclusion and underwent a profound transformation.

This seclusion lasted for a thousand years. He cultivated in the most challenging environment, honing his faith and will during this period. He obtained enlightenment by leveraging the ancient sword that Chen Heng had transformed, comprehending the truth between heaven and earth, and perfecting his Profound Meanings of Law. It was a unique process and gave Chen Heng great inspiration.

Chen Heng had naturally advanced from the sixth to the seventh rank. However, his advancement progress was a little too smooth compared to ordinary people. Most of his current achievements were done through simulation through the simulator, then improved through the power of the simulation body.

This method was very efficient, though it felt like cheating. He had never encountered the many problems others had encountered during their growth, which was not a good thing to a certain extent.

After all, people would grow up only after they encounter problems. Some areas might be missed, and there would be some shortcomings when the growth rate is too fast. Chen Heng felt it personally while observing Bai An’s promotion process.

In the past world, Chen Heng created his meditation method by summarizing the rules and systems of various worlds based on his own experience. It was unique and mysterious. He had spent a lot of time working on it and felt there was not much to modify. However, from Bai An’s cultivation process perspective, Chen Heng realized many mistakes and loopholes, and there was still a lot of room for improvement.

This process was undoubted of great help to Chen Heng. Different people lack different things due to various conditions. For Chen Heng, he lacked polish in many areas as his strength had grown too much, and he had never encountered any bottlenecks along the way. Bai An’s experience of spending thousands of years at the same level and struggling to grow up slowly was what he lacked.

‘It was a great harvest.’ This thought flashed through Chen Heng’s mind, then he became more immersed and began observing Bai An’s breakthrough from a deeper perspective.

Chen Heng had not fallen into a deeper sleep throughout the entire thousand years and quietly observed and integrated with Bai An’s spirit. He could sense Bai An’s state of mind in the end. Of course, Bai An felt the same as he could also vaguely sense Chen Heng’s will and power lurking in the ancient sword. However, he was not surprised and did not suspect anything.

Divine weapons had spirits, which was a common phenomenon in this world. Even ordinary divine weapons would give birth to terrifying spirits. Not to mention ancient swords that could suppress mighty weapons like Earth Heavenly Weapons.

It was common for them to give birth to spirits and possess intelligence for such divine weapons.

Bai An wasn’t surprised by Chen Heng’s existence because his automatic exposure would mean many things. In Bai An’s opinion, this meant the ancient sword recognized and acknowledged him, and this was what he had been longing for a long time.

The ancient sword’s existence alone occupied a significant position in Bai An’s heart, not to mention its power. After all, this was the legacy of the Bai family. It was also a kind of sustenance for Bai An’s soul to a certain extent.

Bai An and even his ancestors were born, grown, and cultivated under this sword’s care. This sword was like an elderly to him, possessing feelings he could not part with. Therefore, he was delighted that Chen Heng had taken the initiative to appear. The connection between the two seemed to have deepened invisibly.

An enormous aura emerged a thousand years later when Bai An was 6,000 years old. Lightning appeared between heaven and earth, and the mighty lightning dragon resounded through heaven as if they wanted to tear this world apart and plunge this region into the abyss of destruction.

Even the entire secret realm was trembling under lightning and was on the verge of collapsing as if it could not bear the majesty within.

The enormous aura shocked many people and existences hidden in the secret realm. They had no choice but to wake up and come out from their secluded state.

“What exactly is this huge Heavenly Catastrophe?”

Powerhouses walked out from their respective secluded cultivation bases. Each figure looked like a God or devil as if they were suppressing the void, causing the laws of heaven and earth to fall silent.

There was no doubt that these mighty powerhouses had been part of the Eternal Dynasty for tens of thousands of years, all of which appeared concurrently. Their faces were filled with shock and bewilderment as they looked at the lightning before them.

They could sense that it was so powerful that even the lightning displayed at the moment could easily kill a Demigod. This was undoubtedly a higher-level lightning catastrophe, appearing powerful and terrifying.

On the other hand, all the powerhouses were mighty to enter this secret realm. Even the weakest of them was a Demigod. Some stronger ones had already reached the threshold of the Heavenly Venerate. However, even these existences were shocked by this Heavenly Catastrophe and find it unbelievable.

“This is the Heavenly Catastrophe for advancing to the Heavenly Venerate realm…” Looking up into the sky and sensing the Profound Meanings of Law, someone couldn’t help but ask, “Is someone about to break the barrier and become a heavenly venerate?”

“It’s him! Ancestor Bai!” A large number of them quickly looked into their target.

In mid-air, the lightning raged. Bolts of lightning as thick as heavenly pillars twirled in all directions, shrouding the entire sky. It was as if the whole secret realm had been submerged.

There were only a handful of lightning catastrophes like this in the past and present. Many people had never even seen it, let alone transcended it.

The lightning catastrophe locked onto a figure – Bai An.

Bai An was six thousand years old, not considered young even for his level. However, his aura was still powerful. His face did not look old. His Qi Blood was boiling like a dragon, like a huge furnace.
