Eternal Emperor's Path to Ascension
Chapter 332: Comprehending The Dao In The Morning, It’s Fine To Die In The Evening
The pressure on Tian Yongheng instantly decreased by a fifth, allowing him to act more fiercely, directly beheading the remaining Early Stage Vagrant Immortals much to the dismay of the Infinite Void Matriarch and the others.
"Mad, this guy is a madman!"
"No, he’s a prodigy, a real prodigy! Crossing the barriers of Mortal and Immortal Domains to slay Immortals is one thing, but managing to slay Immortals while being besieged by a dozen of them in a mortal vessel is another!"
"It seems like he won’t fall this time, and his opponents are going to suffer a great deal."
"Thank goodness I didn’t participate in this battle."
From the Outer Void, gazes as deep as the abyss penetrated deep into the Second Great Mortal World, watching the battle unfold with awe, unease, and relief.
These were the Vagrant Immortals who weren’t interested in Tian Zhuxiao’s offer.
At first, they thought the nineteen Vagrant Immortals could easily suppress Tian Yongheng, but as time went on, the latter wasn’t even injured while several Immortals had already fallen. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺
In the battlefield above the Heavenly Region, sparks containing world destroying power flew everywhere and the heavenly rules trembled, under immense strain, the void being shattered and repaired repeatedly.
*Clang!*
The Primal Dao Sword collided with the Void Abyss Mirror once more, and finding the opportunity, Tian Yongheng formed sword fingers with his other hand, unleashing the Supreme Sword Intent.
*Boom!*
Golden Sword Intent, possessing terrifying power, swept towards the 3 Mid Stage Vagrant Immortals behind him, changing their expressions drastically as they summoned all of their Divine Energy and defensive means to no avail.
With a loud boom, a weaker Mid Stage Vagrant Immortals directly perished in body and soul, while the other two were seriously injured, their combat power decreasing by several times.
Just as Tian Yongheng was about to take advantage of the situation to push forward and take the two of them down in one go, his instincts screamed at him, and he hurriedly moved away, activating the Benevolent Light Seraphic Barrier to its fullest.
A vast aura spread from the Infinite Void Matriarch as she threw the Void Abyss Mirror into the air, it’s consistent attacks never stopping.
She raised her hand, closing her eyes and starting to form hand seals, hundreds of hands emerging from around her, all forming incomprehensible hand seals.
Tian Yongheng’s brows furrowed as several inscrutable shadows began to form around her and merging into her physical body, celestial chants echoing with no source and a purple light shining brightly above her.
A Divine Power?
Tian Yongheng instantly realized what she was doing, not daring to be careless, he focused all his attacks onto her, even ignoring the Void Abyss Mirror, the Supreme Sword Intent combining with the Primal Dao Sword immediately releasing power as if blotting out the sky, concentrating on a single strike.
*Clang!*
A sword cry rang out, a giant sword appeared behind him once again, this time tens of thousands of feet big, and descended upon the Infinite Void Matriarch!
Seeing the giant sword and feeling the familiar yet completely different Sword Intent, the Sword Venerable’s heart stirred faintly in Kunlun below.
"This lad... keeps on surprising me."
The Void Abyss Mirror’s defense lasted only an instant before being shattered, the sword descending down with an unstoppable moment, causing the other Immortals’ faces to turn pale.
They all sent urgent voice transmissions to eachother, stopping their attacks and pouring out unimaginable amouns of Divine Energy to form a shield around the Infinite Void Matriarch, her aura continuing to grow unperturbed with more and more shadows merging with her.
*Bang!*
The shield shattered after lasting only a few moments, causing immense backlash to all those involved, Immortal Divine Blood splattering everywhere, even with Indestructible Immortal Bodies, the damage to the Essence Soul couldn’t be recovered easily!
Some Mid Stage Vagrant Immortals, already injured and fearing for their lives, decisively chose to withdraw and run for their lives.
Tian Yongheng couldn’t care less about them right now, but he noted down their profiles in a fraction of a second, deciding to pay them a visit after this matter was over.
Even a Vagrant Immortal couldn’t find someone hidden somewhere in the entire Lower Realm without special means such as tracking talismans or gu worms, much less a Half Immortal like him, but who could say anything about the future?
Besides...
Tian Yongheng subtly glanced at the Sun and Moon beyond the Mortal World.
[Di Tianyang has developed favorability towards you.]
[Current favorability: 2-Star]
[Hu Xuanji has developed favorability towards you.]
[Current favorability: 2-Star]
Those guys wouldn’t necessarily escape beyond the Second Great Mortal World universe.
The terrifying divine sword descended, but it didn’t hit the Infinite Void Matriarch; instead, at some unknown point of time, the Void Abyss Mirror had appeared in front of the divine sword, bearing the immense power of the Primal Dao Sword, the Supreme Sword Intent, and Tian Yongheng’s heaven defying cultivation base equivalent to the Late Stage Vagrant Immortal Realm.
*Crack!*
Small cracks began to spread across the Void Abyss Mirror, and as her Natal Dharma Treasure, the damage to the mirror also caused considerable damage to her origin, a trickle of blood seeping out of her mouth, but she didn’t stop making hand seals.
*Boom!*
The purple aura above her seemed to soldify, a massive Dharma Avatar with the same features as her slowly rising up, nearly a thousand miles tall, with Divine Energy swirling around it and Dao rhymes overflowing from its mere presence.
The Infinite Void Matriarch opened her eyes, a cold glint flashing by in them, causing the surrounding Vagrant Immortals to let out a sigh of relief, a glimmer of hope reappearing in their eyes, as if they had finally found their backbone.
Having been beaten up so miserably, they no longer had the high and mighty air of the Immortal Gods who stood at the pinnacle of the Lower Realm, unreachable by mortals.
"To be able to make me use this Divine Power and bring out this state that can even threaten ordinary Perfect Vagrant Immortals, you are indeed one of the most formidable opponents I have ever faced."
The Infinite Void Matriarch’s voice, filled with superiority and indifference, rang out clearly in the minds of all beings in and around the Heavenly Region.
"I deem you, Tian Yongheng, a worthy opponent. Let me tell you, this Divine Power is called the Nine Pure Summons, capable of bestowing upon the power of 9 ancestral figures of my Infinite Void Palace at the same cultivation level as me, pushing my cultivation base further and allowing me to contend with or even defeat Perfect Vagrant Immortals. Other than you, only 3 other people have managed to–"
Before she could finish her words, a colossal, golden Dharma Avatar condensed in front of her, merely ten miles tall, looking no different from an ant, yet exuding a fearsome, supremely divine aura, as if holding the fate of heaven and earth in its eyes, invincible across all of eternity, looking up with an air of indifference.
A magnificent Sword Intent condensed in its hand, the Supreme Sword Intent combining with the Primal Dao Sword once more, yet the power contained within it was far more terrifying than before.
*Swoosh!*
The Dharma Avatar raised the sword, slashing horizontally, a horrifying Sword Qi sweeping towards her, parting everything in its wake.
The Infinite Void Matriarch suddenly felt a life threatening aura from the Sword Qi, roaring in anger as she raised her hands, streams of purple light rushing towards the Sword Qi and attempting to stop it.
Yet, the instant they came into contact with it, they directly dissipated, causing her eyes to go wide in disbelief.
One had to know that her current combat power could even overwhelm an ordinary Perfect Vagrant Immortal if they were not careful, and although this state could only last ten breaths of time, it was still a life saving trump card.
Yet now, a mere Half Immortal... was actually going toe to toe with her even in this state?
All of a sudden, her pupils constricted as rhe Sword Qi approached, and she froze in place.
No, this wasn’t merely going toe to toe, this was a crushing force!
"Damn it, you were hiding your strength before!"
The Infinite Void Matriarch’s voice was filled with unwillingness and malice, yet, a hint of respect appeared deep in her eyes.
To be able to witness the birth and rise of such a prodigy, destined to change the fundamental structure of heaven and earth, achieving things beyond mortal imagination and Immortal comprehension alike, this life was worth it just for that alone, not to mention dying by his hands.
All the unwillingness disappeared, transformed into gratitude.
The shackles binding Infinite Void Matriarch seemed to have broken at this moment, and if she wanted to, she could have broken through to the Grand Perfection of Vagrant Immortal Realm right now, yet she did not, watching as the Sword Qi grew bigger and bigger in her vision.
Instead of living a mediocre existence herself, she preferred paving the path for a never before seen prodigy’s rise.
Because she already understood that no one, not even those Immortals and Gods from the Upper Realm, could stop him.
Her goal had already been achieved, her role completed.
Comprehending the Dao in the morning, it’s fine to die in the evening...
