Inside the cave, Jiang Yuqiong stood suspended in the air.
At this moment, he'd reached the most critical juncture!
Around him, ten divine wheels hung in the void, rumbling incessantly, pressing against each other, shattering into fragments that burst into radiant rain, scattering in all directions!
Each wheel was deformed, unrecognizable!
The nine smaller wheels had even lost parts, successfully merging into his body!
BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!
In the vast sky, terrifying energy shot outward, piercing the heavens and tearing through the void!
Boundless storms swept the surroundings, the earth splitting into vast cracks that spread like a spiderweb!
For Jiang Yuqiong, this was an excruciating process.
Positioned at the center, he bore the brunt of the ferocious onslaught.
His small body kept breaking apart, blood and flesh a mangled mess.
Even his bones fractured, on the verge of grinding to dust—only the Supreme Bone remained intact!
Merging ten divine wheels into one, integrating them into his body.
Transforming himself into that singular divine wheel.
This was akin to rooting himself directly into the heavens and earth, touching the primal origin!
If successful, the gains would be immeasurable!
An unprecedented feat, but fraught with extreme danger!
Within Jiang Yuqiong, the Supreme Bone blazed with divine light, releasing immense energy to mend his flesh.
The Heaven-Devouring Demon Technique roared ceaselessly, ravenously consuming spiritual energy, channeling thunder through his martial veins to nourish every inch of his body!
Giant elephant particles spat divine radiance, then shattered, regenerating to halt his body's collapse!
Only Jiang Yuqiong, with his array of heaven-defying techniques, could endure this!
Anyone else would've refined themselves to death by now.
Not even a speck would remain!
Even so, amid unimaginable pain, his consciousness blurred.
"Once it's begun, there's no turning back!"
"Singular Divine Wheel—CONVERGE!!!"
Jiang Yuqiong refused to let himself pass out, clinging to awareness!
With a youthful roar, he pushed on!
The Heaven-Devouring Demon Technique hit its peak, his body's particles roaring like giant elephants!
All his power yanked the ten divine wheels into an even more terrifying surge!
Buzz buzz buzz!
The heavens trembled, the earth rumbled, the void quaked!
Inch by inch, the wheels sank into his body!
Their golden glow began to dim.
The process lasted a full day.
The wheels' ties to the heavens and earth, like delicate roots, were drawn into his flesh, taking root!
On the second day,
Abruptly, the last strand of golden light snapped inward!
The heavens and earth held only Jiang Yuqiong—no trace of the ten radiant wheels remained.
But then—
BOOM!!!
A boundless pressure crashed down upon the world!
A fearsome aura erupted from him like a divine sea tide, unleashing towering waves, a tempest of ten thousand surges!
BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!
A pitch-black void suddenly appeared behind him.
Like a gaping maw of a demon king, vast and terrifying, chilling the heart!
This black hole spanned ten thousand zhang!
Upon emerging, it smashed into the endless sea like an ancient divine mountain, its world-shattering might sweeping outward!
The cave's void churned with endless waves!
Jiang Yuqiong floated midair.
The massive black hole behind him framed him like an ancient demon sovereign!
A ferocious devouring force exploded, whipping up fierce winds!
In an instant, it seemed poised to drain all the spiritual energy in the space!
Simultaneously, torrents of energy flooded into him.
His flesh and bones crackled, wriggling and healing rapidly!
Soon, his body was whole again, robust as a tiger cub.
Even sturdier than before.
His fair face gleamed like porcelain.
But his body exuded an inexplicable strength, muscles rippling like coiled dragons, tinged with a metallic sheen!
"I DID IT!!!"
Sensing it fully, he shouted in glee.
Indeed!
His idea was right!
The Singular Divine Wheel could be forged!
Ten wheels merged into one, a return to the Dao's origin.
In time, it would surely yield infinite transformations.
What surprised him, though, was that this singular wheel didn't reside within.
Instead, it manifested as a ten-thousand-zhang black hole!
Utterly distinct from the golden wheels before.
"This might be better."
"The Singular Divine Wheel can materialize—another weapon in battle!"
Jiang Yuqiong murmured.
He could clearly feel its ferocity.
Even hovering, it warped the surrounding space!
One could imagine its devastating strike.
Next time someone irked him, he'd give them a taste!
"Half a year!"
"Not only reached Divine Wheel Tenth Layer, but went beyond—forging the Singular Divine Wheel!"
"I'm a little genius!"
At this moment, Jiang Yuqiong beamed with pride.
"The common folk, oh how happy we are today, truly oh so happy…"
He hummed a cheerful tune.
Though the task was done with extra gains, he didn't rush to leave.
"First, I'll get started on the Art of Movement!"
He retracted the Singular Divine Wheel, landed, and sat cross-legged to cultivate it.
This seclusion had been a treasure trove.
While he basked in satisfaction, the outside world exploded!
That day, the Dao churned, the heavens flipped, the cosmos quaked!
Rolling thunder rumbled from beyond the sky!
Every corner of the Three Thousand Dao Domains heard it clearly!
Ancient masters, deep in cultivation, were all roused!
Eyes widened in terror, peering beyond the ninth heaven!
Laws shattered, truths of the Dao unraveled!
As if a peerless supreme had descended, snapping heavenly shackles, scattering order into chaos!
A fearsome phenomenon, striking fear into all!
"Another celestial anomaly! What's happening?"
"Someone's broken a new extreme—seems like the Divine Wheel Realm!"
A strong figure divined the heavens, speaking words that chilled scalps!
Almost a year ago, the Emperor's child had forged a new extreme bone-tempering realm in the womb, shocking the world.
Now, someone had shattered the Divine Wheel Realm's limit!
Too terrifying!
"Was it that one from Shaking Heaven Palace?"
"Half a year ago, he forged the eons-unique ten divine wheels—did he advance again today?"
Countless gazes turned to distant Changheng Domain.
The first thought was of that youth, Dai Wangyang!
Ten divine wheels, unmatched in the era, reigning supreme.
If anyone could push further, it'd be him!
The ten wheels' emergence had sparked a grand anomaly, but not this intense.
Who knew how strong he'd become!
But unexpectedly, word soon came from Shaking Heaven Palace, denying it—the new Divine Wheel extreme wasn't Dai Wangyang's doing.
This baffled many, stirring doubts.
Had the divination erred?
It wasn't impossible!
The Dao was elusive, heavenly secrets hard to grasp.
A misstep somewhere was plausible.
Soon, many ancient masters began recalculating.
