Chapter 1 The Beginning

The entire main tomb, from top to bottom, Lu Changsheng turned it upside down.

But he couldn't find anything peculiar.

Only the coffin hadn't been examined closely.

That's right.

It could be hidden inside the coffin.

After all, something so precious couldn't be hidden anywhere else.

Thinking of this, Lu Changsheng walked towards the coffin.

Xuanwu slapped his forehead and said, "Oops, how could I forget that? The coffin used by the Star Immortal Emperor is definitely not ordinary either. This thing must be a good item. Big Brother Changsheng, you truly have discerning eyes."

Xuanwu said, half serious and half flattering.

He had indeed overlooked the coffin.

But Lu Changsheng didn't care about the coffin at all, even though it was indeed not ordinary.

But to take out a coffin to fight...

To raise a coffin when seeing someone displeasing...

Lu Changsheng wasn't that bored.

He arrived in front of the red coffin.

The coffin lid was on the ground, and the coffin was empty.

Lu Changsheng carefully looked at the red coffin.

The material of the red coffin was very special, filled with a kind of sandalwood that calmed the mind, and it was extremely solid. More terrifying, it was engraved with 120,000 great formations, suppressing itself, sealing off time, and prolonging life.

"This Star old bastard is really afraid of death. He actually got the Tree of Life and made it into a coffin. Extravagant, extravagant!"

Xuanwu seemed to know a lot of things, perhaps because it was born from heaven and earth, so it innately knew a lot of things, but it was just talkative. Before, it was "Star Immortal Emperor" this and "Star Immortal Emperor" that, but after learning that the person was dead, it became "Star old bastard."

The world is a cold place.

"Is this coffin good?"

Lu Changsheng asked casually while carefully inspecting the coffin.

"Is this coffin not good? This is the trunk of the Ancient Tree of Life. A leaf of the Ancient Tree of Life can extend the life of an Immortal Saint by a thousand years. Tell me, if you eat a coffin this big, how much lifespan would you increase?"

Xuanwu said this, marveling repeatedly.

"A leaf extending life by a thousand years?" Lu Changsheng was a little surprised. Although it could only extend the life of an Immortal Saint by a thousand years, it was indeed a bit terrifying. After all, reaching the realm of Immortal Saint, wanting to extend life by a thousand years would require at least a Saint-level immortal medicine.

Of course, extending life by a thousand years wouldn't be of great use to an Immortal Saint.

"Extravagant, extravagant, extravagant! 120,000 formations, including peerless Emperor formations. This old bastard is really extravagant. Big Brother Changsheng, do you want this coffin?"

Xuanwu was almost drooling.

"What would I do with a coffin?"

Although the material of this coffin was extremely good, it could be considered a quasi-Emperor weapon because the purpose of this coffin was not to attack enemies, but to bury an Emperor's body.

It isolated the erosion of time; otherwise, it would be very troublesome once affected by time.

"Found it!"

Lu Changsheng stood in the coffin. The entire coffin was fully three *zhang* tall and arranged with 120,000 formations. The Star Immortal Emperor hid the Star Ancient Tree in one of the spatial formations among these 120,000 formations.

If there were no accidents, the Star God Tree would be in this spatial formation.

"Old Eighth, you guard outside. No matter what happens, don't disturb me." Lu Changsheng said, instructing Xuanwu.

"Okay, Big Brother, don't worry. I will definitely guard this place. No matter what happens, I will protect you well. With the person, the turtle is here; when the person dies, the turtle dies."

Xuanwu said seriously.

Then Lu Changsheng waved his hand, and in an instant, the coffin lid closed, and the formation was activated quickly.

Soon, as Lu Changsheng lay in the coffin, in an instant, it was dazzling. Lu Changsheng seemed to have arrived in the void of the universe. Stars twinkled, each star representing a formation.

"This Star Immortal Emperor is really powerful. 120,000 formations, seemingly suppressing himself, but in reality, he is not suppressing himself but suppressing treasures."

Lu Changsheng thought to himself. If it were other cultivators, they would probably only think that this coffin was a treasure, but they would never think that there was another mystery hidden inside the coffin.

Soon, Lu Changsheng found where the treasure was hidden.

An inconspicuous star.

He took a step across, and in an instant, he entered a new space.

Stepping into the space, the surroundings were beautiful with mountains and rivers, waterfalls like the Milky Way, and ancient trees like twisting dragons.

An ancient tree emitting starlight stood in this space.

This was the Star Ancient Tree, also known as the Star God Tree.

Three hundred and sixty-five *zhang*, piercing straight into the clouds.

The ancient tree towered into the sky, emitting a terrifying star power.

The Star Ancient Tree was three hundred and sixty-five *zhang* tall. At a glance, the entire ancient tree was surrounded by three hundred and sixty-five stars, each star extremely dazzling.

But this was an illusion. However, the body of each star was a Star Fruit.

*Boom!*

Opening his Mythic Double Pupils, Lu Changsheng saw through everything. Soon, he saw the divine fruit on the Star Ancient Tree.

On the ancient tree, silver fruits hung from the branches, each silver fruit filled with an incomparably thick star power.

This kind of fruit was extremely precious.

One such Star Fruit could allow a cultivator with extremely poor aptitude to be reborn and easily cultivate to the Golden Immortal realm.

That's right, as long as one such fruit was swallowed, it could easily explode to the Golden Immortal realm. The energy contained was extremely terrifying.

The Star Ancient Tree was one of the Ten Ancient Trees of the Six Realms. Although it could not be compared with more exaggerated things like the Tree of Origin, it was already very terrifying.

This Star Ancient Tree was full of three hundred and sixty-five Star Fruits.

One Star Fruit required twenty-six epochs to condense.

The Star Immortal Emperor obtained the Star Ancient Tree in his early years, thereby reaching the realm of Immortal Emperor. He hid the ancient tree in a formation, waiting for the ancient tree to continue to bloom and bear fruit.

He waited a full era, so it was re-filled with three hundred and sixty-five Star Fruits.

This was the Star Immortal Emperor's last trump card and his greatest confidence: to seize the body of a genius and use the three hundred and sixty-five Star Fruits to reach the Immortal Emperor realm again.

That was also why he seemed so confident.

Ask anyone in the world, who wouldn't be confident?

It was a pity that all his wishful thinking fell through and was picked up by Lu Changsheng.

Without wasting words, Lu Changsheng sat cross-legged under the ancient tree.

What he lacked most now was this kind of spiritual object containing terrifying energy. The value of this Star Fruit was probably not weaker than an Immortal Saint artifact.

Soon, the first Star Fruit fell from the tree and slowly landed in Lu Changsheng's hand.

The Star Fruit was not big, only the size of a palm, and was silver in color with a little starlight on the surface.

Lu Changsheng took a bite. The pulp was sweet, crisp, and refreshing, but just one bite condensed into a sea-like star power that blessed his body.

*Boom!*

Lu Changsheng's body trembled. With just one bite, he completed several body refinements.

The Demon Lord Heavenly Dao Sutra began to operate, and Lu Changsheng's body was constantly sublimating. Golden light permeated, and although this was the Demon Lord Heavenly Dao Sutra, his body was like divine gold, sacred and incomparably, with the aura of the Great Dao permeating, appearing extremely terrifying.

Just like that, Lu Changsheng directly refined the Star Fruit, and massive amounts of immortal energy were added to his body, and he also began a true sublimation and tempering.

One Star Fruit.

Ten Star Fruits.

Fifty Star Fruits.

One Hundred Star Fruits.

One Hundred and Fifty Star Fruits.

Time flew by, and half a year passed in a hurry.

A full half a year, Lu Changsheng cultivated here for half a year.

At this moment, Lu Changsheng's body had been tempered two thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine times.

That's right, two thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine times.

Lu Changsheng only mastered half of the Demon Lord Heavenly Dao Sutra.

But he deduced through the Heavenly Emperor Method, forcibly deducing the last half, so he was able to temper it two thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine times.

At this moment, his body was almost perfectly invincible. The surface of his body contained the aura of the Great Dao, and within his body, there were sounds of dragon roars, tiger howls, and thunderclaps. With a slight movement, he could directly tear the void.

If Lu Changsheng's previous body was stronger than a True Dragon, then at this moment, Lu Changsheng's body, even if the Ancestral Dragon came, would not be comparable.

The Dragon Clan's body was the strongest in the world. This was universally acknowledged, but Lu Changsheng, who had tempered his body two thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine times, had completely surpassed the body of a True Dragon.

His body had become strong to an unbelievable extent. With a slight wave of his hand, he could tear the void.

To put it another way, if Lu Changsheng encountered the Thousand-Handed Demon Saint again at this moment, he wouldn't need any Dao techniques. One punch, or even one finger flick, would be enough to kill the Thousand-Handed Demon Saint.

That's right, it was so terrifying and domineering.

The Demon Lord Heavenly Dao Sutra was the number one body refinement technique in the world, forging the body of a True Demon.

What was the body of a True Demon?

Carefree and unrestrained, complete and great, this was the body of a True Demon.

This "Demon" did not refer to demons but to the "Demon" of gods and demons, a Demon that even gods feared.

Moreover, it was already so terrifying at two thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine times. How strong would it be if it reached the three thousandth time?

Don't underestimate the last layer. Unfulfilled and fulfilled are two different concepts.

Once fulfilled, its strength would be even stronger, and not just a little stronger.

But the immortal energy required for the last layer was more terrifying than all the previous ones combined.

*Puff, puff, puff!*

One Star Fruit after another burst open, turning into streams of dragon-shaped immortal energy that poured into Lu Changsheng's body.

At this moment, Lu Changsheng's realm directly skyrocketed to the Immortal Lord realm.

That's right, he stepped into the Immortal Lord realm, only because his strength was too strong. If he didn't break through, it would be too exaggerated.

The improvement of the realm was like expanding the bucket that held water. Lu Changsheng's bucket was extremely large but also had a limit. Without breaking through, he would not be able to truly complete the three thousandth tempering.

Reaching the Immortal Lord realm, the primordial spirit skyrocketed in an instant because he had subdued the Karma True Dragon and awakened supreme wisdom.

Lu Changsheng's primordial spirit instantly broke through along with his realm.

Generally speaking, after breaking through the realm, one had to improve the primordial spirit. Many cultivators, even at the Golden Immortal realm, might only have a True Immortal realm primordial spirit. After all, the primordial spirit was difficult to cultivate.

Lu Changsheng was different. His current primordial spirit was definitely much stronger than his realm. If the primordial spirit could surpass the realm, Lu Changsheng's primordial spirit would be at least at the Immortal Saint completion level.

*Boom, boom, boom!*

The space trembled. The formation space arranged by the Immortal Emperor was now somewhat unable to withstand the pressure brought by Lu Changsheng. As long as Lu Changsheng was willing, he would be fully capable of destroying this formation.

But Lu Changsheng would not do this. This was a good place to cultivate. If it was damaged, it wouldn't be good.

Chapter 2 Change

Even after breaking through to the Immortal Lord realm, Lu Changsheng had not completed the final tempering.

He still lacked immortal energy.

To be honest, Lu Changsheng was a little confused.

These three hundred and sixty-five Star Fruits were fruits that could allow an Immortal Saint to break through to the Immortal Emperor realm.

The leap from Immortal Saint to Immortal Emperor was basically no different from that of a Human Immortal to an Immortal Emperor.

In other words, a Golden Immortal, after swallowing three hundred and sixty-five Star Fruits, wouldn't immediately become an Immortal Emperor, but in a few hundred years, he could become an Immortal Emperor.

The energy contained in each Star Fruit surpassed imagination.

However, even under such circumstances, Lu Changsheng had already refined two hundred of them, and a full two hundred had not completed the tempering.

One could imagine how terrifying the Demon Lord Heavenly Dao Sutra was.

Was this still a technique for humans to cultivate?

At this moment, Lu Changsheng sighed.

It was fortunate that he cultivated the Demon Lord Heavenly Dao Sutra. If other cultivators cultivated this technique...

*Hiss!*

It was hard to imagine how they could cultivate to this step.

However, Lu Changsheng was also a little glad that he hadn't let Qingfeng cultivate the Daoist Canon Sutra. If Qingfeng cultivated the Daoist Canon Sutra, he might never ascend in his life.

Lu Changsheng didn't plan to let Qingfeng cultivate the Demon Lord Heavenly Dao Sutra either, unless he found another Star Ancient Tree.

Shaking his head, Lu Changsheng continued to cultivate.

One Star Fruit after another was refined by him.

The two hundredth.

The two hundred and twentieth.

The two hundred and sixtieth!

The two hundred and eightieth!

The three hundredth!

The three hundred and thirtieth!

The three hundred and sixtieth!

In the blink of an eye, another half a year passed. Lu Changsheng's refining speed was fast enough. If it were other cultivators, it might take a hundred years to refine it all.

At this moment, only five Star God Fruits remained.

However, swallowing three hundred and sixty Star Fruits made Lu Changsheng feel the limit. There was still one last step left.

Taking the last step would be a complete transformation.

The three hundred and sixty-first!

The three hundred and sixty-third!

The three hundred and sixty-fifth!

As the last Star Fruit was swallowed and refined by Lu Changsheng, the Star Bones in Lu Changsheng's body also underwent earth-shattering changes.

After all three hundred and sixty-five Star Fruits were swallowed and refined, they had a miraculous effect, coupled with Lu Changsheng's Star Bones.

At this moment, terrifying things happened.

Stars surrounded Lu Changsheng. He closed his eyes, and in an instant, hundreds of millions of stars in the Six Realms transmitted supreme will in an instant.

Star Heavenly Dao!

Star Heavenly Dao!

Lu Changsheng awakened the Star Heavenly Dao.

One of the three thousand Heavenly Daos, the supreme Star Heavenly Dao, possessed the supreme Dao technique of dispatching stars.

The Heavenly Emperor Method also became much stronger because the method that Lu Changsheng mastered was no longer some peerless immortal technique or supreme immortal technique, but the true Heavenly Dao.

Wielding the Star Heavenly Dao.

Possessing countless incredible means.

This was an unexpected joy, a true unexpected joy.

But there was still one step left.

One last step.

Lu Changsheng felt that he wanted to temper his body three thousand times, and there was still one last step left.

This step was not big, it was truly just a little bit. If he didn't break through, there might be an accident.

He would have to start over.

Of course, starting over meant returning to the two thousand nine hundred and ninety-ninth time, not truly starting from scratch.

But this was also terrifying.

One hundred and fifty Star Fruits tempered him to the two thousand nine hundred and ninety-ninth time.

The remaining two hundred and sixteen Star Fruits did not complete the last tempering.

One could imagine how terrifying this last step was.

"Breakthrough, we must do it in one go, otherwise, we will be exhausted after three attempts."

But the energy was just a little short.

Lu Changsheng frowned, but soon, he couldn't help but turn his attention to the Star Ancient Tree.

Although this ancient tree could still bear Star Fruits in the future, the Star Fruits were ineffective against the Immortal Emperor realm. Most importantly, it would take twenty-six epochs, or twenty-six million years, to bear new fruits. By that time, he would probably be invincible.

So thinking of this, Lu Changsheng took a deep breath and raised his hand.

In an instant, the Star Ancient Tree trembled, and then the Heaven and Earth Furnace appeared, directly refining the ancient tree.

At this moment, the Star Ancient Tree turned into more pure and more terrifying star power. This was the last essence, washing over Lu Changsheng's body like a vast ocean.

*Rumble!*

*Rumble!*

The space trembled, and all 120,000 formations were trembling.

Lu Changsheng's body bloomed with unparalleled light.

Outside.

The coffin lid was shaking violently, and Xuanwu was frantically suppressing it. He felt that if the coffin lid was not covered, it would be very troublesome.

One day!

One month!

Half a year!

One year!

Another year passed in a hurry.

Finally, with a terrifying roar of thunder.

Lu Changsheng's body burst out with ten thousand *zhang* of light, and a phantom of a god and demon floated behind him.

Three thousand layers of body refinement, complete!

Not only that, but hundreds of millions of stars blessed immeasurable divine light on him, making him like the son of the stars.

The space shattered, unable to withstand Lu Changsheng's existence. This was a spatial formation arranged by the Great Emperor, but Lu Changsheng didn't even need to move.

The entire space could not bear it anymore.

At this moment, Lu Changsheng could kill True Dragons, tear apart the firmament, and suppress all enemies in the world with a wave of his hand.

If the Thousand-Handed Demon Saint appeared in front of him, he could directly erase him with a light stroke.

"Nine becomes one!"

However, after tempering his body three thousand times, Lu Changsheng was still not satisfied. He took a deep breath, and nine-colored immortal power permeated.

He wanted to completely perfect the Demon Emperor Sutra.

Nine-colored immortal power turned into a nine-colored ocean, submerging everything.

But in the end, the nine-colored ocean continued to transform, transform, and transform again.

Under Lu Changsheng's will, it finally turned into a Primordial Immortal Sea.

That's right, nine becoming one, turning into the color of chaos and nothingness.

This was the highest quality of immortal power.

The color of chaos.

The Daoist Canon Sutra was complete!

The Demon Emperor Sutra was complete!

The Demon Lord Sutra was complete!

Lu Changsheng's cultivation also officially reached the Great Perfection of the Immortal Lord realm, and so was his primordial spirit.

Now, all that was lacking was the next volume of the technique.

The Buddha Sutra.

The fourth volume of supreme technique.

Moreover, Lu Changsheng had also deduced the effects of the Buddha Sutra.

Targeting the primordial spirit.

*Boom!*

The next moment, Lu Changsheng restrained all light, and all the visions were restrained.

He walked out of the space and returned to the coffin.

At this moment, he had... the qualifications to fight an Immortal King.

That's right.

He might not be able to kill an Immortal King, but he could fight one.

In the Immortal Lord realm, crossing the Immortal Venerable and Immortal Saint realms, two major realms, and fighting an Immortal King.

Even someone as strong as the Golden Crow Crown Prince, who ranked in the top ten of the True Dragon List, could not fight across a realm.

However, Lu Changsheng could already cross two major realms.

The gap between them was simply a hundred and eight thousand miles.

*Bang.*

The next moment, the coffin fell off, and Lu Changsheng walked out indifferently like a god.

It was just that Lu Changsheng didn't know.

At this moment, although only two years had passed in the outside world.

But huge changes had already taken place.
