Eternal Emperor's Path to Ascension
Chapter 333: Slaying Immortals With A Mortal Body, Repaying Past Debts
The sword light erupted, cracks spreading across the Void Abyss Mirror as the Infinite Void Matriarch’s Indestructible Immortal Body and Essebce Soul were annihilated in succession.
The Void Abyss Mirror, like an ordinary broken mirror, began to fall down the sky; as a Natal Dharma Treasure, once its owner died, it’s power greatly diminished, reducing it to the ranks of the weakest Dharma Treasures.
Even then, an ordinary person obtaining it could change their fate against the will of heaven, with hopes of achieving the Vagrant Immortal Realm, this was also a kind of Providence.
Tian Yongheng had no interest in the legacy of the Infinite Void Matriarch or the Infinite Void Palace recorded in the Void Abyss Mirror, someone destined will naturally obtain mirror someday and rise to great heights.
Mortal heights no longer concerned him, only Providences tied to the Immortal Realm could move him.
Immediately, he turned his gaze towards the rest of the Immortals who were besieging him, ignoring the despairing looks on their faces, the golden Dharma Avatar swept the divine sword in its hand, and no one could resist it for even a moment.
Even the remaining Late Stage Vagrant Immortal could only watch helplessly as the sword light swallowed him whole, his body and soul destroyed.
All the spectators watched, dumbfounded, as the high and mighty Immortals were reduced to dust in front of billions of living beings.
Atop Kunlun Divine Mountain, the Sword Venerable showed a faint smile, his eyes shining with barely suppressed excitement.
"Good lad, truly a peerless prodigy!"
Beyond the Second Great Mortal World, Di Tianyang laughed heartily, holding one of the formerly escaped Vagrant Immortals by his neck and tightened his grip, instantly crushing the Essence Soul within, and threw his hollow body into the Primordial Sun Star.
On the other hand, eight huge tails shattered the Indestructible Immortal Bodies of two Vagrant Immortals, and Hu Xuanji also showed a rare smile.
The structure of the Lower Realm was about to fundamentally change.
...
In the Upper Realm, Second Great Immortal World.
Countless Immortals and Gods watched with shock evident in their eyes as the dozens of Early to Late Stage Vagrant Immortals were beaten black and blue by a Half Immortal, with no chance of retaliation at all.
How could it not be shocking?
A Mortal contending with Immortals, even for those supreme geniuses destined to reach the legendary Golden Immortal Realm, was an extremely difficult feat, much less defeating one.
Yet, a Half Immortal managing to defeat nearly 20 Vagrant Immortals, including 3 at the Late Stage and even one who possessed a Natal Dharma Treasure, with just a Dharma Treasure in his own hands.
It was too ridiculous.
Didn’t that mean that once this prodigy grew up, he’ll be at least a Golden Immortal Realm Great Immortal?
On the other hand, all those who belonged to the Ancestral Heavenly Family had unsightly expressions.
Having offended a future Golden Immortal, who wouldn’t be displeased?
At least it wasn’t a current Golden Immortal, or the displeasure might have transformed into terror.
In the Ancestral Land of the Ancestral Heavenly Family, the Venerated True God of Divine Fortune’s face shifted, countless dimensions around him exploding into nothingness from the shift in his emotions.
The Grotto-Heaven trembled, universes being born and destroyed.
"A variable..."
He muttered softly, the indifference in his eyes fading subtly, replaced by seriousness.
...
In the Second Great Mortal World, as the last trace of the Immortal Gods vanished, the Dharma Avatar behind Tian Yongheng slowly disappeared, leaving behind a clear, vast sky devoid of clouds, the sun seeming to shine a little brighter than usual.
All the living beings were dazed, looked at the dazzling figure in the sky as if seeing a true Immortal God, their thoughts varying from person to person.
The battle of the Immortals lasted only a few breaths of time, yet the impact it left behind was significant.
In high level battles, an instant was enough to decide the fate of countless beings.
Immortals either fought for centuries or ended their fights in an instant.
The former was specially true when both sides were evenly matched, but this battle was clearly a crushing victory for the divine figure standing high above all beings, belonging to the latter category.
On this day, Tian Yongheng forcefully entered the vision of the Upper Realm, and news spread that a peerless prodigy was about to ascend to the Second Great Immortal World among high ranking Immortals and Gods.
Meanwhile, all the Tian and Qin family high ranking members were terrified, their legs going numb even with exceptionally high cultivation, eyes wide in horror.
"It’s over, no one can save my Great Tian Immortal Family now..."
"Damn it all for those shortsighted fellows who provoked this great being all those centuries ago, they truly brought upon the fall of my ancient Dao Lineage!"
"What... what should we do now...?"
However, the weaker and younger members of these powers were unaware of why their elders were acting this way until someone spread the news that the Outer Void Great Immortals were invited by the Tian and Qin families to kill the Eternal Lord, and the past grudges between them were dug up one by one, including Tian Yongheng’s blatant threat back at the Isle of Heavenly Demons.
Just then, a overbearing aura, as if suppressing heaven and earth, slowly descended from the heavens above, attracting the attention of all living beings within and beyond the Heavenly Region.
Tian Zhuxiao and the others paled, while Tian Zhaojun hid Tian Chen behind him, a supreme power surrounding them unknowingly.
Tian Yongheng slowly descended from the sky, landing steadily on the highest mountain peak in the land of the Great Tian Immortal Family, yet the eyes of countless supreme mighty figures who could make the Central Continent tremble with a stomp never left his figure.
"I gave you time, yet this is how you repay me? Quite ungrateful. Is this how a great Dao Lineage that has been passed down from ancient times operates?"
With each mocking word he spoke, his aura increased by a notch, causing beings below the Half Immortal Realm to pale, whether they be Immortal Ascension Realm cultivators or Qi Condensation Realm cultivators.
The ground beneath the fate of those high and mighty Half Immortals shattered, the pressure increasing to such an immense degree that even their bones, almost to the point of becoming akin to Rank-9 Dharma Artifacts, creaked, on the verge of shattering.
Just then, a golden light suddenly fell from the heavens, a ladder both ethereal yet real emerged from the golden light, leading towards an unknown destination high above.
Almost all the beings from the Tribulation Transcendence Realm to the Half Immortal Realm instantly recognized what it was; the Ladder of Ascension!
Someone was about to ascend to the Upper Realm!
This thought flashed across the minds of all of them simultaneously.
Tian Yongheng’s eyes narrowed at this moment, instantly locking onto Tian Zhaojun and Tian Chen behind him, a tremendous pressure crushing towards them yet unable to do anything because of the Ascension Light surrounding them.
He raised his hand, forcefully trying to stop the Ladder of Ascension, a giant palm of Spiritual Energy grabbing towards it.
*Boom!*
The two forces collided, sending out a Shockwave that shook the mountains and seas, causing tremors to spread across the vast land of the Heavenly Region and beyond. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮
The Ascension Light, in the end, forcefully shattered the Spiritual Energy palm, causing a flicker of light to appear in his eyes.
Tian Zhaojun didn’t dare to delay any longer, grabbing Tian Chen’s arm as they ascended the Ladder of Ascension extremely quickly, leaving behind stunned onlookers.
Tian Chen glanced back at Tian Yongheng with a venomous gaze only to be repelled by the Sword Intent bursting forth from the latter’s eyes, covering his own eyes in pain.
As they reached for the boundless light above, the Ladder of Ascension turned illusory before vanishing without a trace, leaving behind a tense but quiet atmosphere.
Tian Yongheng’s gaze turned towards the remaining Tian Family members, including Tian Chen’s harem, and another Spiritual Energy palm condensed above the air.
"I’ll look for those two later, let me deal with you all first."
*Boom!*
The palm crashed downwards with a bang, turning countless members of the Great Tian Immortal Family into blood mists, not even bones left behind.
Even Tian Zhuxiao was completely crushed, not even letting out a scream before being annihilated.
The Qin Family members on the other side watched with horror as the figure once again rose into the air, heading towards them before suddenly pausing and looking down.
There, a trembling, tall figure of a girl stood with wide eyes, staring at the god-like figure with both familiarity and fear.
It was a Void Refinement Realm cultivator, in any other place, she might have been treated as a powerful figure lording over a region, yet here, she wasn’t even worthy to be canon fodder, less than an ant crawling on the ground.
"Y-yong..."
Tian Yongheng looked emotionlessly at Qin Ninguang before turning away, not even bothering to hear what she had to say before releasing a mighty aura that destroyed her body and soul, never to enter reincarnation.
It had been too long since that incident, so long that Tian Yongheng didn’t even feel much hatred for Qin Ninguang.
He couldn’t even be bothered to torture her and gave her a swift end.
