Chapter 599: Born to Face the Calamity, Carnage Martial Dao

Chapter 599: Born to Face the Calamity, Carnage Martial Dao

Li Xuan Youran sat leisurely under a large tree, playing with a jade scepter and sipping the finest spirit tea from the Taihao Realm. The chaos and slaughter of the Taihao Realm had no effect on him, and he chose not to interfere.

After resurrecting Taicang and freeing Burncloud and Hongze from the River of Time, he had shocked everyone, even intimidating the Immortal Sovereign to the point of not daring to continue his rampage.

As for whether the battle between Taicang and the Immortal Sovereign would continue, Li Xuan no longer cared. However, it was likely that neither side would fight again.

The Immortal Sovereign, determined to return to the Taihao Realm for revenge, would do whatever it took to strengthen the Heavenly Dao.

Xu Yan had already imparted all he could to his five disciples. They had all understood the Waywalking Method, and all that was left was for them to cultivate and gain more experience. Xu Yan had reached the Creation Realm, just a step away from its Great Perfection.

Meng Chong, Su Ling Xiu, Fang Hao, and Jiang Bu Ping were only half a step away from the Creation Realm and would soon break through.

With Xu Yan's guidance, they would also comprehend the Grand Unity and Waywalking, eventually achieving the Way.

Of course, the later stages of cultivation required more time and patience. Xu Yan's rapid progress was not only due to his exceptional talent but also the opportunities he had encountered.

The Unchanging Land had ushered in a new era with the appearance of a faint green light, which was the greatest opportunity. Xu Yan could no longer advance as quickly as before and needed time to consolidate his gains.

Before leaving the Unchanging Land, Li Xuan gave them a hint about the end-of-the-world calamity but did not elaborate, leaving it for Xu Yan and the others to explore and face the calamity themselves.

For Li Xuan, who walked the Way, the rise and fall of the world were like passing clouds. The one who had been suppressed was indeed powerful, but not enough to pose any threat to him.

Waywalkers stood above the Great Dao, transcending the mortal world, achieving true eternal invincibility.

When Li Xuan arrived in the Taihao Realm, he naturally didn't come alone. After all, he was used to being served, and who would serve him in the Taihao Realm?

So, he brought Cai Ling'er, his maid, along with him.

Crimson Cat, his pet and mount, also accompanied him, as did Mu Xiao and Shi Er.

After all, someone needed to take care of various tasks. Mu Xiao continued his usual work, sweeping the courtyard and clearing away fallen leaves.

Shi Er, as a servant, was responsible for trimming flowers and plants, building houses, and collecting various items.

After a century in the Taihao Realm, Li Xuan had traveled through all Thirty-Three Heavens and witnessed the chaos and slaughter. He remained unmoved and did not interfere, knowing that the source of all this turmoil was the one who had been suppressed.

During this time, Li Xuan would occasionally stroll along the Great Dao, and by now, he had walked a hundred li. Only the mysteries and wonders of the Great Dao could capture his interest.

After walking a hundred li, Li Xuan lay down to rest. Waywalking was indeed challenging, and he felt exhausted after each stretch. So, he decided to wait for Xu Yan to walk the Way and for his disciples to provide feedback on their experiences.

In a century, Mu Xiao's strength had also improved, surpassing the Heaven and Earth Sovereign level and becoming truly top-notch in the Taihao Realm. Only a handful of people could rival him.

The strength of those few individuals was also related to the one who had been suppressed.

Cai Ling'er, as Li Xuan's maid, had gained strength from serving a Dao Ancestor. Her power increased rapidly, and she had entered the Heaven and Earth Sovereign level.

As for Shi Er, the weakest among them, his talent had blossomed under the influence of the Dao, and he had transformed, reaching the initial stages of the Heaven and Earth Realm.

A century had passed for Li Xuan passed in the blink of an eye.

"Sir, the Taihao Realm is in such chaos, with slaughter everywhere. When will it end? Do we have to wait for the Heavenly Dao to replace the Taihao Realm?" Cai Ling'er asked with a sigh.

"It's a great calamity, so it's natural for it to be this way," Li Xuan replied with a light smile.

"Will there be another overlord in the Taihao Realm? That person who fought from the first heaven to the thirteenth heaven, can he be considered an overlord? Unfortunately, he stopped at the thirteenth heaven. Will there be a celestial prodigy who can pacify the entire Taihao Realm and bring clarity to it?" Cai Ling'er asked curiously.

"In times of chaos, there will be exceptional talents born. There will be celestial prodigies born to face the calamity. As for whether they can bring clarity to the Taihao Realm, it's difficult. After all, the source of this great calamity is being suppressed down there."

Li Xuan shook his head.

Following the normal development trajectory, even if a freakish talent were to emerge in response to the calamity in Taihao Realm, it would still be impossible to change the outcome of the great calamity. No matter how freakish or how much one cultivated, their strength could never surpass that of the one being suppressed below.

As long as that person couldn't be resealed or completely eradicated, the result would never change.

In the past, Taicang, hailed as Taihao Realm's greatest prodigy throughout history, had also perished. And Taicang was an extraordinary prodigy.

"Is it only the Heavenly Dao that can change all this?"

Cai Ling'er was filled with curiosity.

The Heavenly Dao was the creation left by the Ancestor of the Dao, and it was also an opportunity for the world to gain another great creation.

"It's up to Xu Yan and the others now. This Ancestor of the Dao won't interfere too much. The Heavenly Dao's creation is boundless. If Taihao disappears, the Unchanging Land collapses, and the great calamity dissipates, then it will be the Era of Heavenly Dao. Otherwise, the world will sink into ruin, and after a long period of time, there will be another great creation, and so the cycle continues."

Li Xuan smiled as he spoke.

Cai Ling'er nodded. Since the Ancestor of the Dao had spoken, it didn't mean there would be no interference, so the final outcome would definitely be the arrival of the Era of Heavenly Dao.

Moreover, Xu Yan possessed freakish innate talent. It was likely that before the great calamity arrived, he had already walked the Dao. If he had walked the Dao, then the one being suppressed below would surely be easily eliminated with a wave of his hand, right?

Furthermore, with the constant enhancement of the Heavenly Dao, it could also rival the might of a Dao walker and suppress that person.

The Heavenly Dao was not only being strengthened by Tian Zi's schemes, but even the Immortal Sovereign and Taicang were doing their best to elevate it. This was a great opportunity.

"Sir, is there a prodigy in Taihao Realm that catches your eye?"

"Fate, everything is fate. If it's fate, it will naturally catch my eye."

Cai Ling'er seemed deep in thought. Perhaps in Taihao Realm, the Ancestor of the Dao would take on a disciple?

The sixth disciple of the Ancestor of the Dao?

It all depended on who had that fate.

"Crimson Cat, you came to Taihao, but you're not thinking of establishing a new Taihao's yao clan?"

In the small stream, Shi Er held a brush and was brushing Crimson Cat's body, his face full of helplessness.

"This yao king has no interest right now. The yao clan in the Great Wilderness is enough. There's no point in creating another clan. Brush properly, and put a little more effort into brushing my back!"

Crimson Cat lay contentedly in the stream.

Damn it! Shi Er cursed inwardly. Crimson Cat, that bastard, still held a grudge from when Shi Er had whipped him back then!

"Don't complain. Brushing the Ancestor of the Dao's cat is your duty."

Crimson Cat yawned.

"You're a tiger, not a cat!"

Shi Er's face darkened.

"A tiger is also a big cat, so I'm a cat, meow meow!"

Damn it! Shi Er was speechless.

"Brush my belly fur a little!"

Crimson Cat flipped over, exposing its belly, and raised its front paws.

"Hmm? Someone's coming."

Shi Er suddenly spoke up.

Crimson Cat lifted its head and looked towards the valley entrance. A small figure was running, his clothes tattered, with faint traces of blood on his elbows, and dragging a long spear.

"This kid is impressive. At such a young age, his strength is almost comparable to the entry level of the Qi Xue Realm. He has good innate talent. Looking at his appearance, he seems to be fleeing from danger."

Shi Er exclaimed in surprise.

"Could this be someone with deep fate? Hey, doesn't the spear in his hand look familiar?"

Crimson Cat stood up from the stream.

"It's the weapon of the leader of the World-shaking Army."

Shi Er nodded. Zhao Changtian, the leader of the World-shaking Army, was a legendary figure within the Thirteen Heavens of Taihao. He was a heroic figure who rose from the First Heaven, established the World-shaking Army, and fought to bring order to the world, all the way up to the Thirteenth Heaven. When they traveled through Taihao Realm, they had caught a glimpse of him from afar.

Although they hadn't interacted directly, they still had some impression of the World-shaking Army, Zhao Changtian, and his wife, Lin Qing'er.

"The World-shaking Army is finished. What a pity!"

Shi Er sighed.

Zhao Changtian's weapon appearing in the hands of a little boy, and him being in flight, clearly indicated that Zhao Changtian had been defeated, and this boy was likely his descendant.

"This kid managed to escape pursuit and even made it here. Wow, he has deep fate."

Crimson Cat jumped over.

Zhao Taiping fled frantically, hiding and running aimlessly, but never daring to stop, fearing discovery and pursuit.

He didn't know how far he had run; when hungry, he picked fruits to eat, and when exhausted, he found a small cave to rest briefly before continuing his escape.

Day and night, he traversed mountains and valleys, unaware of how far he had come—a few hundred or a few thousand li? On this day, he reached a small valley, and as soon as he stepped into it, he felt a sudden surge of energy, a fresher and denser aura than before. It seemed that cultivating here would be faster.

"Is this place safe?"

Thinking of his mother's death and the fact that he was now alone with no family, his eyes grew moist at the thought of living all by himself, and with enemies still searching for him. But he gritted his teeth, refusing to be defeated by adversity.

"Father, Mother, I will definitely avenge you."

Zhao Taiping's eyes shone with determination.

He surveyed the little valley; it seemed remote, desolate, and uninhabited, yet the scenery was captivating, making it an ideal place to hide and cultivate.

"I'll set up here, cultivate, and enhance my strength. One day, I will definitely kill Huang Qin!"

Zhao Taiping continued walking into the valley, intending to explore and make arrangements, planning to settle down and diligently cultivate martial arts, hoping to gain sufficient strength to avenge his parents as soon as possible.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, and a colorful fierce tiger appeared, its aura intimidating, its eyes bloodthirsty.

Zhao Taiping's heart skipped a beat, and he hastily gripped his spear, its sharp tip pointing at the tiger. He unleashed his aura, suppressing the fear within.

As the tiger approached step by step, Zhao Taiping roared and thrust his spear towards the tiger's throat!

The spear moved like a dragon, and a cold light flashed as it pierced the tiger's throat. But before Zhao Taiping could rejoice, he turned pale with fear.

The spear couldn't penetrate!

He quickly withdrew the spear and retreated, roaring again as he mustered all his strength to thrust once more, this time aiming for the tiger's eye!

However, to his horror, the spear tip still couldn't penetrate the tiger's eye, and as the tiger took a step forward, an immense force transmitted through the spear, knocking him onto his buttocks.

Despair filled Zhao Taiping's small face. Was he going to be devoured by this tiger? What kind of tiger was this that he couldn't pierce? The spear his father had left him wasn't an ordinary weapon!

"Crimson Cat, don't scare him too much!"

Shi Er approached with a speechless expression.

"I wanted to test this little guy's courage."

Crimson Cat lifted its head and spoke.

Zhao Taiping looked at Shi Er, then at Crimson Cat, and his vision darkened as he fainted.

"Look, you scared him."

Shi Er picked up Zhao Taiping, holding the spear in his hand, and said, "Let's see what the Ancestor of the Dao has to say."

Li Xuan looked at Zhao Taiping and smiled. This little guy had deep blessings, surviving a great calamity and finding his way to Li Xuan's reclusive abode.

Was this not fate? Just like Xu Yan, who had sought out a high-level cultivator and stumbled upon a small mountain village.

Since it was fate, and with his above-average talent, being the orphaned son of a heroic figure, carrying deep grudges, in this chaotic Taihao Realm, he was destined to face tribulations.

So, in Taihao, he took on his sixth disciple.

"Zhao Taiping pays respects to Master!"

Zhao Taiping respectfully bowed to his master.

"You are my sixth disciple. Each of your five senior brothers and sisters cultivates a unique martial art. Today, I will teach you the Carnage Martial Dao, cultivating Battle Qi and gathering Killing Intent, reaching the pinnacle of carnage!"

For Li Xuan, creating a new martial art was effortless. He didn't expect any feedback from the new martial art, as he had already transcended such matters through his cultivation journey.

In the end, all martial arts lead to the same path, the path of cultivation.

Zhao Taiping cultivated the Carnage Martial Dao, focusing on Battle Qi and Killing Intent, a martial art suited for the current Taihao Realm, emphasizing battle and killing.

Only through battle and killing, from the first heaven to the thirty-third heaven!

"Thank you, Master!"

Zhao Taiping was overwhelmed with emotion.

"Father, Mother, your son will avenge you!"

Zhao Taiping's eyes shone with determination.

Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, twenty years had gone by.

The once little boy, Zhao Taiping, had grown into a handsome young man. After twenty years of arduous cultivation, he had reached the Divine Ability Realm.

And on this day, Zhao Taiping left the mountain gate to venture out and avenge his father. With his current strength, he was more than capable of reaching the thirteenth heaven, let alone the twentieth heaven.

It was time for the Carnage Martial Dao to shine, to grow through battles, to cultivate through combat, and to rise through the struggles.

On this day, Zhao Taiping, holding his spear, left the valley. Alone, he swept through the first heaven, crushing the New World Sect. Then, he ascended to the second heaven, maintaining his undefeated stance as he single-handedly decimated the New World Sect.

Zhao Changtian's only son, Zhao Taiping, had returned, driven by the desire to avenge his father. He began his campaign against the New World Sect, and the surviving members of the once-powerful World-Shaking Army started to gather around him.

The Taihao Realm had entered the era of Zhao Taiping!
