Chapter 497: Immortal Slaying Sword Formation! The Pressure of the Dao Realm!
December 12, 2024
Whoosh!
Qin Zheng's body erupted with mystic light, and in an instant, he became semi-transparent, as if the power from the Nine Heavens was about to descend upon him.
Just then, a radiant light shone from his side, and a mysterious and profound Dao aura transformed into a raging river, instantly dispersing the force that had descended from the infinite heights.
The crisis that had been looming in Qin Zheng's mind dissipated, and his impending departure from the Thirty-Three Heavens came to a halt.
At this moment, Daoxing Tianzun's aura rose like a deep abyss, as if a third great sun had appeared in the chaotic universe, causing the entire Thirty-Three Heavens to tremble incessantly.
Qin Zheng's pupils constricted slightly at this sight.
Even stronger!
Daoxing Tianzun had grown significantly more powerful since their previous encounter, now almost on par with the two great suns in the 'Heavenly Realm'.
After feigning severe injuries and hiding in the chaos, and with the help of the Azure Heaven Mirror's power, a million years of cultivation and insight had brought this person to the pinnacle of the Primordial Chaos Realm, almost reaching the Legendary Dao Realm!
At this moment, Daoxing Tianzun's voice slowly echoed, "A Dao Realm powerhouse, the most noble and revered, yet you resort to such underhanded sneak attacks?"
Although Daoxing Tianzun didn't lift his head, his gaze seemed to be locked in a stare with a divine being from the infinite heights.
As soon as he finished speaking, a cold and indifferent voice echoed from the infinite heights, "You dare to show yourself so casually before reaching your full potential."
"Today, you won't be able to escape either!"
As the cold and indifferent voice rang out, the chaotic mist surged violently, and the Nine Heavens manifested directly, revealing a majestic figure seated on a divine throne.
Boom!
A thick and majestic aura surged forth as the figure rose. The chaotic universe struggled to contain the overwhelming aura, twisting and shrinking before exploding with a mighty roar.
The second Dao Realm powerhouse of the Heavenly Court!
Qin Zheng's expression changed instantly.
The two great suns in the 'Heavenly Realm' continued their intense standoff, unable to spare any additional power.
The figure that appeared in the Nine Heavens was undoubtedly the second Dao Realm powerhouse of the Heavenly Court!
Judging from the silhouette and the seated posture on the divine throne, overlooking the universe with an aura as vast as the sea, this figure seemed to be the sole deity governing the Thirty-Three Heavens!
The Heavenly Emperor?!
The thought flashed through Qin Zheng's mind.
Buzz!
But before the figure in the Nine Heavens could fully straighten its body, the chaotic universe stirred again. A radiant light appeared, followed by an overwhelming intent to annihilate heaven and earth.
Qin Zheng's gaze instantly sharpened, and he was all too familiar with this sword intent.
In the chaotic universe, a formation materialized from nothingness, slowly revealing itself before everyone's eyes.
Hovering above this formation were four divine swords, each emitting a distinct killing intent, collectively unleashing a force that caused the chaotic void to collapse and shatter.
The Immortal Slaying Sword Formation!
Qin Zheng's eyes reflected a hint of awe.
The Immortal Slaying Sword in his hand was undoubtedly authentic and a Transcendent-grade divine armament, but compared to the sword formation that had just appeared, it was lacking by more than just a single measure.
To be precise, the Immortal Slaying Sword was just one part of this four-sword formation. Only with the complete formation and all four divine swords could it be considered a true Transcendent divine armament and the ultimate killing formation in the universe.
As the sword formation materialized, the terrifying killing force surged like a flood. Even without being directly affected by this power, merely looking at the sword formation would cause one's eyes to sting painfully.
Qin Zheng, with the aid of the Azure Heaven Mirror's power, managed to avoid the terrifying killing force emanating from the sword formation and clearly witnessed it.
Within the formation, four swords hovered, but only one of them was part of the Immortal Slaying Four Swords. The other three divine swords were substitutes, making it an incomplete Immortal Slaying Sword Formation.
Qin Zheng couldn't help but think so.
All these changes occurred in the briefest of moments, and the divine figure in the Nine Heavens had not yet fully risen.
"You can rest assured here," Daoxing Tianzun's voice echoed in Qin Zheng's mind. Then, with a leap, he instantly appeared above the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation, controlling it with intricate hand seals.
Buzz!
Boom!
Under Daoxing Tianzun's control, the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation unleashed an even more powerful killing force. Daoxing Tianzun turned to the divine being and smiled lightly, "I want to see if you dare to come down today!"
The power emanating from the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation was too overwhelming. Even the surging and mighty aura of the divine being in the Nine Heavens was being hunted down and eradicated by the killing force until it vanished into nothingness.
In an instant, the tide turned, and the divine being in the Nine Heavens seemed to be at a disadvantage.
"Hmph!"
At this moment, amidst the confrontation between the two Great Suns in the heavens, another cold huff sounded, followed by a defiant voice, "If you want to fight, then fight! Stop the pointless chatter!"
Whoosh!
The surging energy aura rumbled like raging seawater, continuously emitting intense clashing and booming sounds.
A
Upon seeing this, Qin Zheng immediately understood that this battle would not commence!
Although the two Dao Realm Powerhouses that appeared in the Heavenly Court, regardless of their state or strength, were evidently more complete and powerful.
But it was clear that the barefoot wasn't afraid of the shod.
If a real battle were to break out, the two Dao Realm Powerhouses of the Heavenly Court would also have to pay an unimaginable and tremendous price.
And so, after a brief moment...
"Hmph!"
"Today, we'll spare your lives. Wait until the Heavenly Emperor truly awakens, and it will be the end of your remnants' calamity!"
The figure high up in the Nine Heavens let out a cold huff, and then he reseated himself on his divine throne. The projection from the Nine Heavens gradually faded away.
The Great Sun in the heavens instantly collapsed and shrank, turning into a black dot before completely disappearing amidst the Chaotic Universe.
Just before the projection in the Nine Heavens dissipated, a voice was heard from the figure seated on the divine throne, "Bringing out the Slaying Deity Sword Formation, can you still suppress those fellow Daoists who have fallen into 'Demonhood'?"
"Don't be wary of the Heavenly Court for long, only to end up falling into the hands of her own people, inviting ridicule."
As the voice trailed off, the projection also dimmed to its extreme.
And at that moment...
Whoosh!
A
"Rise!"
T
This battle, which began with the Heavenly Court's encirclement of Qin Zheng, and concluded with the standoff between the Dao Realm Powerhouses, finally came to a peaceful end.
As Qin Zheng's nearly transparent figure gradually became more solid, he knew that with the battle over, he no longer needed to flee.
T
A
Q
At that time, with insufficient experience, he truly believed that the other party was merely a suppressed and sealed soul, never imagining it to be a sealed Dao Realm Powerhouse!
After Shi Jingxuan escaped his predicament, he had resumed his youthful appearance, but for some unknown reason, he had transformed back into his old Daoist form from the Sea of Rules.
He scrutinized Qin Zheng up and down with his gaze, then lightly nodded and smiled, "Not bad! Not bad!"
"During that great battle, I thought you had achieved the Primordial Chaos position and ascended through the help of the position I gave you. Only later did I learn from DaoXIng that you had ascended using your own Great Dharmic Treasury."
"In just a short decade, you've advanced from the initial stage of Primordial Chaos to the Advanced HuanYuan stage. This speed is truly terrifying."
He paused slightly, his eyes flashing, and then he continued with a smile, "With this pace, you might even ascend to the Legendary Realm faster than your Ten Dao Body's clone."
Qin Zheng smiled and said, "I must also thank Senior for holding back at that time."
The Ten Dao Body is the embodiment of countless rules, and when it matures, it becomes Primordial Chaos. It was even recognized by the Virtue Scroll as the one who would 'Master the Ten Dao Body and achieve the ultimate step, ascending to the Legendary Realm!'
However, after the disappearance of the Sea of Rules, Qin Zheng temporarily lost an excellent place to nurture his Ten Dao Body.
Fortunately, he later obtained the Azure Heaven Mirror and used its power to find a place similar to the Sea of Rules in the Chaotic Sea, where he sent the Ten Dao Body to nurture.
Nearly a decade has passed since then, and he has already achieved Primordial Chaos, advancing towards the legendary Dao Realm.
Shi Jingxuan shook his head and chuckled, pointing at Qin Zheng, "You're trying to provoke me, aren't you?"
Back then, with no hope of breaking free from the seal, he could only think of other ways to escape. He planned to possess another's soul, thereby achieving an unconventional escape. Qin Zheng's Ten Thousand Dao Body was the ideal target for his soul possession.
H
Being a legendary powerhouse himself, possessing another would mean abandoning his own cultivation. He would have to start anew with another's body, a troublesome process with too many uncertainties.
Qin Zheng smiled silently. The Shi Jingxuan of the past was an enemy, but now he was a fellow Daoist comrade. Moreover, Shi Jingxuan had just helped him, seemingly understanding the cause and effect from before.
T
Qin Zheng nodded, but his gaze fell on the distant Yuan Pass Origin Void.
If they left, this Grand World would truly be at the mercy of the Heavenly Court. Although there were no more Divine Artifacts within, there was no guarantee that the Heavenly Court wouldn't send Primordial Chaos cultivators to vent their anger on the mortals of this world.
A
T
Before Qin Zheng could sense anything, the Yuan Pass Origin Void, floating in the Primordial Chaos, began to shrink at a visible speed.
In just a few breaths, the vast Grand World transformed into a fist-sized orb and landed in Shi Jingxuan's hand.
"Take it."
S
Qin Zheng watched this scene with awe.
Unlike the previous confrontation with the Dao Realm, he didn't sense any profound power or special aura from Shi Jingxuan's move. It was as if he had casually reached out, and the Yuan Pass Origin Void automatically shrank into his hand.
Was this the power of the Dao Realm?
The higher his cultivation, the more he could feel the might of higher realms.
In the past, when he was 'weak,' he didn't need Divine Armaments, relying solely on his strength to overcome adversity and defeat demons, turning weakness into strength.
But as his cultivation advanced, his foundation deepened, and fighting against adversity often required the Treasures of the Three Pure Ones.
Today, after experiencing the might of the Dao Realm, Qin Zheng's conviction in this idea deepened.
The strength of the Dao Realm was such that it couldn't be overcome by relying on Divine Armaments alone!
E
Qin Zheng could sense that the opponent didn't retreat out of fear but because they deemed it unnecessary. That one sentence, 'Bring out the Slaying Deity Sword Formation, and can you still suppress those fellow Daoists who have fallen into 'madness'?'
Q
The opponents weren't in a hurry.
A
Qin Zheng snapped back to attention and nodded.
These fellow Daoists who had 'fallen into madness' were likely those polluted by the Pollution Orb.
T
A
But with Qin Zheng's arrival, all these problems would be resolved.
Whether it was the now-complete Azure Heaven Mirror or his Virtue Scroll, both were nemesis of the polluted air! Moreover, compared to the Azure Heaven Mirror's ability to remove pollution, the Virtue Scroll could purify the polluted air into the Great Dao Essence Energy, fulfilling his progress requirements!
After killing many Primordial Chaos cultivators from the Heavenly Court in this battle and collecting a vast amount of Virtue Crystals, the next step of purifying the polluted air would bring another significant improvement!
His thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant.
