Martial Arts Genius with Proficiency System-Chapter 903 - 401: The Ancient Path Opens, Su Tu Vanishes! (Part 2)
"No!! My Dao Plant...."
Su Tu looked at his own Dao Plant, his eyes suddenly widened with a bit of incredulity, along with a touch of helplessness.
On the Dao Plant, which should have engraved the Six Paths Totems, three additional mysterious totems were suspended.
These three totems emitted a chaotic aura, while the other six totems completely submitted to these three totems.
"Am I now... in the Ninth Layer Heaven??"
The Celestial Human Sixth Heaven is the standard martial arts realm. It has been passed down through the ages, and even the most exceptionally talented have never broken this iron rule.
However...
At this moment, the nine totems on Su Tu’s Dao Plant already indicated that he had broken convention and entered a realm where no one had ever set foot!.
Ninth Layer Heaven!!
"Can’t there be a single phase in my cultivation path that’s normal..."
The expression on Su Tu’s face was very helpless, it seemed that his cultivation path was always like this, always unusual, different from others.
It seems that when he absorbed the divine power, his Dao Plant underwent an abnormal change, leading to the current situation.
Su Tu wasn’t troubled by it, Ninth Layer Heaven was just Ninth Layer Heaven. He was more curious about how much stronger the Celestial Human Ninth Realms was compared to the Sixth Heaven.
He watched closely as Su Tu clenched his fist with one hand, a new force surged up within him, without any fancy frills, as he punched down again.
Rumble!!!
In an instant, a giant mountain collapsed with a roar, as if struck by a meteor, or as if the heavens and earth had split apart.
At this moment, Su Tu was already stepping atop the firmament, watching all that continued collapsing, with only a few traces of surprise as he looked at his own fist.
"My power increased by nearly fifty percent, and moreover..."
He spread his hands, and the chaotic aura behind him emerged, as if to pull the heavens and earth back to that most ancient desolation.
Treading amidst the chaos, Su Tu seemed like the sole ruler, with a casual wave, he caused the surrounding space to slightly collapse.
"Power of the Great Dao!!!"
"I have not entered the Venerable Realm, my own dao has not yet condensed, why am I able to wield the power of the Great Dao, which only a Daoist Master has the qualification to wield!"
Feeling this immense power, Su Tu furrowed his brows.
The boundless chaos behind him slowly gathered in.
Entering the Venerable Realm can condense one’s own nascent dao, and blend it with the power of rules, perfecting one’s dao, and only then can one gaze towards the Cosmic Great Dao.
With one’s own dao, to invoke the Cosmic Great Dao, one can borrow the power of the Great Dao for personal use, this is a Daoist Master.
But now, Su Tu, though only in the Celestial Human Realm, his own dao not yet formed, could directly wield the power of the Great Dao. This was unbelievably astounding.
"Is it due to the influence of divine power, or the feature of the Ninth Layer Heaven, or is it..."
"Throughout history, there have been errors in cultivation..."
Su Tu couldn’t help but murmur, he had previously unified the Third and Fourth Realms, correcting Martial Arts Dao, since Martial Arts Dao had once pursued completeness, could it be that the current situation was of the same nature?
Following the previous path of cultivation, Su Tu could still explore slowly and unravel the mysteries.
But his current cultivation path was already different from the conventional Martial Arts Dao, naturally also unable to deduce or judge.
"Looking at it this way, after breaking through the Ninth Layer Heaven, I fear I might not even enter the Venerable Realm..."
As Su Tu realized he could directly wield the power of the Great Dao, he also discovered that his original nascent dao within him had already vanished without a trace.
Without the nascent dao, everything in the Venerable Realm was useless to Su Tu.
After all, he could already do some of what only a Daoist Master could do.
Of course, there was still a considerable gap in strength and combat power.
There must be a way before the mountain on the road, worrying so much only adds trouble, Su Tu called out the system panel, this time absorbing the divine power, the system should give him a pleasant surprise.
Su Tu looked at the system’s notification panel, but unexpectedly, the system that would usually increase skill level when facing powerful entities, this time with the absorption of divine power, showed not a single increase in skill level.
No divine skills were acquired either.
This truly exceeded Su Tu’s expectations.
"System, oh system, you’re a bit lacking this time..."
Su Tu couldn’t help but complain in his heart.
Just then, the voice of the Tomb Guardian Spirit came: "Hey, although I don’t know what you’re dazing about, I have to remind you, the Ancient Path is already open, if you don’t go, you’ll miss it~"
Hearing this, Su Tu frowned: "Is the time flow here different from the real world?"
"Same, brother, same, it’s just that you might have overlooked the time spent constructing the internal universe."
The Tomb Guardian Spirit replied.
"I spent half a month constructing the Star River, but in my perception, only a moment passed, building the Star River is indeed difficult."
Su Tu couldn’t help but speak.
Upon hearing these words, the Tomb Guardian Spirit went silent.
What the heck, is that human language you’re speaking??
Do you know how many deities there are in this Star River across countless ages??
Do you know that a deity takes thousands or even tens of thousands of years to construct an internal Star River??
Even with the shortcut of the God-Slaying Seal, which allows direct absorption of divine power, it’s not possible this quickly.
With this, you’re still not satisfied??
If you don’t open it, I’ll eat it myself!!
The Tomb Guardian Spirit didn’t reply, and Su Tu didn’t mind. Instead, he stood up and instantly broke through the air, sensing that there was a great hidden mystery within the ancient path, and he couldn’t afford to waste time.
This space seemed completely under his control, as a mere thought opened a path for him to leave.
...
At the end of the Star River, in a blood-red ocean, an ancient path full of mysterious aura slowly extends into the void.
Invisible forces rippled within, and anyone who sees the path feels a desire to explore it.
On the outskirts of this ancient path, massive Star Fortresses stand in the Star River.
"The ancient path is finally opening, I wonder which race’s prodigy will ascend the throne this time!"
A giant-sized strongman spoke, and the stars trembled.
"Hehehe, looks like our race is poised to take the lead this time."
A shadow with wings laughed sinisterly.
"Confidence is good, but overconfidence is ignorance." A silhouette illuminated in divine light spoke coldly.
Leaders of various civilizations either confronted each other or acted humble.
All were passing the time, waiting for the ancient path’s complete opening.
Regardless of words, in the end, it all depends on the skills of each race’s prodigies.
Inside the Human Race fortress.
"Phooey!! A group of odd creatures, BBBBB-ing here, talking about your moms!"
A strong man of the Human Race, like a lion, cursed colorfully.
Other strongmen could only smile wryly, for when it comes to family insults, no one could match the Military Academy.
Principal Situ also sat inside the fortress, but his expression was very sombre at the moment.
"The Human Race is just crude, if..."
A foreign race with azure skin and three heads came to taunt outside the Human Race fortress, but his words were cut off.
Bam!!!
The void trembled violently, and Principal Situ appeared before the foreign race, crushing two of his heads with a swift hand.
The foreigner didn’t even get a chance to scream before his jaw was crushed.
"Taunt and curse all you want, but mock us before our battleship — it’s provocation."
"Next time, your life will be forfeit."
Having said that, Principal Situ threw the unconscious foreigner towards their fortress.
Buzz!!
A large azure hand caught the foreigner.
The scene was quiet, everyone watched intently.
"Situ Tianqing, do you intend to breach the contract?" a dignified voice sounded.
"Don’t pin things on me. I didn’t kill him, only because of the contract. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have a head left."
After saying that, Situ Tianqing immediately returned to the fortress.
"Brother Situ, you’re in a bad mood." A middle-aged man in a Tang suit looked at Situ.
Principal Situ sighed helplessly and shook his head.
"A troublesome kid is still missing..."
"Su Tu hasn’t arrived?" the lion-like old man asked.
"The Ancestors sent him to hone his skills at the front lines, but I’ve asked around, and he hasn’t been spotted there."
"Could it be..."
A man in a suit frowned.
"No, I have ways to gauge his safety. His life is not threatened, just unsure what he’s undergoing, he’s yet to arrive."
Principal Situ said gravely.
Su Tu, being invincible, is held in high regard by these principals, for sitting on the throne benefits the entire race. They’ve placed great hopes on Su Tu.
Especially after Su Tu single-handedly defeated prodigies sent to cultivate at the Ancestor Hall, their anticipation grew.
But now...
"Damn!! What’s that brat up to? If he delays any longer, the ancient path is about to open..."
The Military Academy principal anxiously spoke.
At that moment...
Boom!!
The entire Star River seemed to tremble, a ray of red light shot straight towards the Other Shore.
"You jinx!"
Principal Situ said through gritted teeth.
