Chapter 513: The Eternal Emperor! The Opportunity to Attain Dao!

2024-12-30

"Daoxing Shushi, it's been a long time."

Yang Jian smiled and spoke.

Daoxing Tianzun's expression remained calm. With one hand holding the whisk, he gently waved it, causing golden lights to appear, transforming the whisk into a Demonslaying Treasure Pestle immune to all evil.

"No need for words. Today, I will take your place and eliminate your divine abilities!"

His words thundered like the sound of a vajra.

Daoxing Tianzun gripped the Demonslaying Treasure Pestle and took a sudden step forward, immediately aiming to smash it down on Yang Jian's head.

"Master, you're not being polite at all."

Yang Jian chuckled lightly, then with a swift movement of his right hand, the Tripoint Bident spun like a shadow, emitting a chilling cold light like a pillar, instantly soaring into the sky.

"Master Daoxing, don't forget, this is the realm of the Heavenly Court!"

As he finished speaking, he instantly grabbed the Tripoint Bident with both hands, then swung it upwards to block the Demonslaying Treasure Pestle that was about to smash down.

Clang!!

A clear and loud collision sound rang out.

However, there was not a trace of power, nor did it disturb the densely packed Heavenly Court warriors in the surroundings.

"It's best for Master Daoxing to let Yang Jian have a good fight. Otherwise, if Yang Jian activates the power of this formation, all of you will fall here today!"

Yang Jian's expression turned indifferent, and at this moment, he spoke with a cold voice, releasing a vast killing intent that burst out from his body.

Daoxing Tianzun remained silent, but the Demonslaying Treasure Pestle in his hand shone with a burst of light, transforming into a majestic golden dragon that roared towards Yang Jian.

Seeing this, Yang Jian chuckled coldly, and the Tripoint Bident in his hand also flashed with silver light, instantly transforming into a three-headed flood dragon. It began to bite and tear at the golden dragon formed by the Demonslaying Treasure Pestle.

Then, the two of them stepped on the void, their figures constantly intertwining. It seemed like a common martial artist's battle, but in reality, it was a clash of their Great Dao and foundations. A single defeat could lead to the collapse of their Great Dao, resulting in direct demise.

Standing at a distance, True Martial Emperor and the others had a trace of worry in their eyes. Although Daoxing Tianzun had accumulated a perfect foundation, he was just one step away from attaining the legendary realm, Yang Jian was also in a similar situation!

Moreover, with the resources of the Heavenly Court, Yang Jian was even closer to the legendary realm than Daoxing Tianzun.

At this moment, their direct clash of Great Dao was extremely unfavorable for Daoxing Tianzun, but they dared not intervene easily.

Firstly, they needed to protect Qin Zheng, who was constructing the passage to the Eight Scenic Palaces, to prevent any other powerful Heavenly Court warriors from launching a surprise attack.

Secondly, Yang Jian had already made it clear that he wanted to have a satisfying fight with Daoxing Tianzun, and if he didn't, he might activate the power of the formation, which could backfire on them.

As for why Yang Jian made such a request, it wasn't hard to guess. The two of them were the closest to the legendary realm among the Thirty-Three Heavens, with the most similar foundations and accumulations.

Their duel was like looking into a mirror, providing a great opportunity to discern their own shortcomings and deficiencies from each other.

Therefore, Yang Jian most likely wanted to rely on Daoxing Tianzun to fill his gaps and perfect his Great Dao, bringing him closer to the legendary realm!

Regardless of victory or defeat, the moment they stopped, the other party would undoubtedly activate the power of the formation around them without hesitation, surrounding and slaughtering them!

Therefore, only after determining the victor in this battle could Qin Zheng's construction of the passage to the Eight Scenic Palaces allow them to avoid Yang Jian's final blow and enter the Eight Scenic Palaces! Otherwise, they would have to choose to retreat!

And with the Heavenly Court's heightened vigilance, the next attempt to enter the Eight Scenic Palaces would likely face a thousand difficulties and ten thousand dangers!

With this thought in mind, True Martial Emperor and the others' expressions grew even more solemn.

At the same time—

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Violent rumbling sounds continuously echoed from a distant place.

It was the battle between the legendary powers of the Celestial Dao Realm!

Tai Yi True Man was still buying them time!

Boom! Boom!

In the primordial chaos, vast suns traversed the sky, constantly colliding with each other. The thick and vast power made the Nine Heavens tremble!

The Four Emperors appeared together, along with a figure with a majestic stature and a dignified expression. His aura fluctuated, hinting at a breakthrough to the legendary realm, touching upon the realm of Creation..."

At this moment, the five legends joined forces, continuously surrounding Tai Yi True Man in the center.

However, Tai Yi True Man, who had only recovered three-tenths of his strength, showed no sign of weakness. With the support of the Slay Deity Sword Formation, he fought the five legends to a standstill!

Wherever the fierce sword light passed, the void collapsed, and the chaos was annihilated. Only the figure with an aura close to Creation dared to approach, while the Four Emperors of Black, White, Red, and Yellow had to avoid the sword light.

"Hahaha!"

"So-called Eternal Emperor, yet you're no match for me!"

Tai Yi True Man swept away the Four Emperors with his sword and looked at the dignified figure, mocking mercilessly.

In this battlefield, aside from the Four Emperors, the one whose power was nearly infinite and approaching the Creation level was none other than the Eternal Emperor of the Southern Pole, one of the Four Imperial Guards of the Heavenly Court from the past!

After Tai Yi True Man's mocking words, the Eternal Emperor's expression remained calm, showing no anger. Instead, his attacks became increasingly fierce, and his rhythm pressed on relentlessly.

The Four Emperors were slightly weaker in cultivation, and with their previous injuries, they seemed like mere pawns for the Eternal Emperor to sweep through, guarding against Tai Yi True Man's schemes and occasionally launching sneak attacks.

A hint of solemnity appeared in Tai Yi True Man's eyes, but his mocking expression remained unchanged. As he continuously manipulated the power of the sword formation, he spoke again, "After that battle nearly three million years ago, you all still haven't taken a step forward."

"Why don't you think carefully about the decision back then? Was it right or wrong to follow the current Heavenly Emperor? Can he truly take another step forward?"

"You all don't need to toil and struggle, only to have him pluck the Dao Fruit alone, staining your entire life with pollution, and never finding a good end!"

As these words were spoken, chaos surged between heaven and earth. Black qi transformed into a giant dragon, roaring as it rushed towards Tai Yi True Man.

Tai Yi True Man's eyes instantly sharpened at this sight.

This black qi was the polluted qi!

Without further words, he immersed his mind into the Slaying Deity Sword Formation, driving this sword formation to its current extreme!

After enduring a million years of torment, he deeply understood the terror of this polluted qi.

Once it seized an opening and invaded his body, even the Slaying Deity Sword Formation would be unable to expel it. Only the Azure Heaven Mirror had such power.

However, in this battlefield, if polluted qi invaded, the Five Legends would not let him leave. They would likely seal him on the spot, swiftly increasing the severity and causing his mind to fall.

In that case, the Heavenly Court's biggest trump card—the Slaying Deity Sword Formation—would also fall into the hands of the Heavenly Court, leaving True Martial Emperor and the others without the strength to oppose the Heavenly Court.

"Hmph!"

Seeing Tai Yi True Man fall silent, the Eternal Emperor coldly snorted and spoke, "With only three-tenths of your strength recovered, you dare to control the Slaying Deity Sword Formation and invade the Nine Heavens!"

"You didn't come here just to meet us, there must be another purpose."

Tai Yi True Man's expression remained unchanged.

Just as his words had no effect on the hearts of the Five Legends of the Heavenly Court, the Eternal Emperor's words at this moment also couldn't influence him.

However, the Eternal Emperor's words caused ripples to instantly disturb Tai Yi True Man's calm heart.

"That junior who came from Yuan Dongtian has mastered the complete Azure Heaven Mirror, a divine item left by the Heavenly God of the Azure Heaven back then, almost a transcendent item of transformation."

"With the Azure Heaven Mirror's ability to traverse the void, even in the Thirty-Three Heavens, it can go anywhere. That's why you've dared to think of such a plan."

"I, the Emperor, don't need much thought to know your purpose. It's the Eight Scenery Palace left by Taiqing Saint, the only remaining Beyond Realm in the Thirty-Three Heavens!"

"You're here to cover for that junior who mastered the Azure Heaven Mirror!"

Tai Yi True Man heard this and remained unmoved, sneering, "I was just thinking of testing your strength."

"As for what the Emperor said, it does give me a reminder. I can indeed enter that place with the Azure Heaven Mirror, using my master's Beyond Realm!"

"Anyway, with your current state, you probably wouldn't dare take a step into the Eight Scenery Palace, right?"

The top-tier Beyond Realm, even though its owner had already transcended and left this world, still retained a strong aura.

Once polluted, any existence that dares to step into the Beyond Realm will be instantly killed by the aura left by Taiqing Saint!

After all, pollution caused too much chaos in the Chaos Sea, and Taiqing Saint and the others had to join forces in the end to expel pollution and drive it out of the Beyond Realm.

The Eternal Emperor heard this and narrowed his eyes, not responding directly, but instead, he replied, "The aura of the Beyond Realm can kill anything below it, but it can't kill the Beyond Realm itself."

"Just wait until the Heavenly Emperor proves his Dao, and everything in the Eight Scenery Palace will be within our grasp."

"And I, the Emperor, am not afraid to tell you that the surroundings of that Beyond Realm left by Taiqing Saint have already been sealed by the Heavenly Emperor's array, and no one can enter."

"Even that junior who mastered the Azure Heaven Mirror will be blocked by that array and unable to enter the Eight Scenery Palace."

"At this moment, if that junior panics and tries to enter the Eight Scenery Palace, he will be instantly killed by the Heavenly Emperor's array!"

"Are you sure you want to continue fighting us?"

Tai Yi True Man coldly snorted.

"Enough with the nonsense!"

The most recent chapter, the sixth, is in the ninth book, and it's time to read!

As soon as he spoke, the power of the Slaying Deity Sword Formation increased, pressing the Four Emperors into retreat, even causing the Eternal Emperor to frown slightly.

Did he guess wrong? After all, besides the array laid down by the Heavenly Emperor in the Eight Scenic Palaces, there was also Yang Jian, who had been guarding it for millions of years. If someone truly wanted to break into the Eight Scenic Palaces, there should have been some disturbance by now.

The Eternal Emperor thought this in his heart.

At this moment, Tai Yi True Man's heart was heavy.

He knew that the Heavenly Emperor would definitely set up some means around the Eight Scenic Palaces, but with the power of the Azure Heaven Mirror, he should be able to ignore these methods.

Although Qin Zheng's cultivation was slightly lower, the essence of the Azure Heaven Mirror was extremely high, nearly reaching the level of a Transcendence-grade divine artifact.

Moreover, the Eight Scenic Palaces themselves had spirituality and could sense Qin Zheng's presence, as well as the aura of the Heavens Yellow Jade Tower. It should have actively guided them.

Transcendence-grade divine artifact, Beyond Realm.

With these two combined, the Heavenly Emperor had indeed set up some means around the Eight Scenic Palaces, but it shouldn't have stopped Qin Zheng and the others.

However, the power he left in the Azure Heaven Mirror had not disappeared from his perception. If he had entered the Beyond Realm, he wouldn't be able to perceive that power.

In other words, Qin Zheng and the others had not yet entered the Eight Scenic Palaces.

What happened here? Tai Yi True Man's heart sank.

But at the next moment, his mind suddenly stirred, and he lost his perception of the power he had left in the Azure Heaven Mirror.

They're in! Like a storm clearing, Tai Yi True Man's sinking heart suddenly soared, and his actions became more decisive and carefree.

"Not enough! Not enough! The power of the five of you is not enough!"

Tai Yi True Man shouted.

The Four Emperors' expressions darkened.

Cold light flashed in the Eternal Emperor's eyes.

Just then—

Boom!

The ground shook, and a vast and boundless, supreme and ethereal aura appeared. It was as if the heavens and earth had suddenly lowered a level, and everyone felt it.

A Heaven-Covering Giant Hand descended from the Nine Heavens, and at the same time, it clenched into a fist and directly struck towards Tai Yi True Man.

The legend comes to life, Creation makes its move!

Tai Yi True Man's expression changed, and he immediately controlled the sword formation with all his might, unleashing extreme power. The rolling sword light transformed into a long dragon and charged towards the Heaven-Covering Giant Hand.

The Eternal Emperor tried to intervene, but at this moment, the Slaying Deity Sword Formation also erupted with power equivalent to Creation, and he had to temporarily retreat.

Under the gaze of the onlookers, the sword light collided with the fist imprint, and then the sword light vanished. However, the Slaying Deity Sword Formation and Tai Yi True Man also disappeared from everyone's perception.

The Heaven-Covering Giant Hand that had descended from the Nine Heavens paused slightly and then slowly opened, and a voice spoke: "The Heavenly Emperor is outside. Do not cause trouble."

"Eternal Emperor, quickly ascend to Creation."

After speaking, the Heaven-Covering Giant Hand disappeared, and the chaotic void in the Nine Heavens returned to calm once again.

Upon hearing this, the Eternal Emperor remained silent for a few breaths, and then he took a step forward and instantly vanished from his original spot.

The Four Emperors exchanged glances and then separated, disappearing from their original spots and returning to their respective seclusion chambers.

A moment ago—

Outside the Eight Scenic Palaces—

T

The Tripoint Bident and Demonslaying Treasure Pestle directly transformed into three-headed flood dragons and a golden dragon, intertwining in the void.

Y

At this moment, both of their minds were clear, and they faintly grasped the opportunity to achieve the legendary opportunity of Dao Enlightenment.

But it's not enough!

It's still a little short of accumulation, and a little short of foundation! Both of them understood in their hearts that after the last exchange of fists and feet, they immediately separated.

The three-headed flood dragons and the golden dragon also transformed into streams of light and returned to their respective owners' hands.

"As expected of Daoxingshushi, this battle was very exciting for Yang Jian!"

Yang Jian slowly lowered his right hand, placing the Tripoint Bident behind him, and sighed, "But since our paths are different, I can only let you all stay here."

As soon as he finished speaking—

Boom!

The array around them seemed to awaken and began to shake.

An invisible terrifying pressure surged like a tide.

The True Martial Emperor and the others' expressions became anxious, and they were about to take action to awaken Qin Zheng, who was constructing the passage.

Since it's not working, let's leave first!

Staying here any longer will only lead to their downfall! But just as they were about to move—

Whoosh!

The Azure Heaven Mirror in Qin Zheng's hand suddenly shone brightly, covering everyone present in an instant, and they all vanished from their original spots!
