Chapter 715: Path Creation
Chapter 715: Path Creation
Teng Luotai's will extended infinitely, merging completely with the cosmic law of thunder.
"Truly... beautiful."
"The full power of a law, entirely at my disposal... I feel omnipotent."
"Even eternal life is within my grasp. Once, to maintain vitality, one had to devour life force. But for me, time has become meaningless..."
A smile appeared on his face. "Finally... I can completely resolve the Banned Star Federation! From now on, the mighty of the Origin Star Alliance who wish for eternal life must break through on their own... Those who fail to break through and perish from old age will have no choice. And anyone who dares to devour life force to extend their lifespan will be killed!"
At that moment, Teng Luotai suddenly bent over in pain.
Mysterious whispers echoed in his ears, seemingly incantations of a cultivation technique.
Before his eyes, countless figures appeared, some practicing internal arts, others executing incredibly intricate techniques...
In his mind, a towering figure emerged, godlike and demonic, radiating terrifying chaotic energy.
"It's the Pandemonium Deity! Pandemonium... has awakened within me?"
Teng Luotai's eyes widened as he felt his consciousness being eroded and dominated by an overwhelmingly powerful and domineering will.
Although he had ascended to the thirteenth realm, gaining eternal life and unimaginable power, in the face of this will, he was like an ant!
"Pandemonium? Pandemonium!"
What frightened him even more was that this consciousness seemed still to be in a state of slumber, not fully awakened.
"Ah!!"
One of his eyes turned completely blood-red, and his body began transforming into an unimaginably powerful demonic form. Suddenly, he raised his hand.
Crack!
Beyond the desolate planet, the sea of thunder suddenly surged, sweeping and expanding wildly...
Boom!
Surveillance satellites and spaceships exploded one after another.
"This..."
Vic, inside his spaceship, saw all the screens turn to static, his expression growing incredibly grim. "What's happening?"
"Pandemonium has awakened..."
Fang Xing sighed. "Perhaps... I should place my hopes on you young ones."
"What do you mean, Senior?"
Vic quickly communicated with the upper echelons of the alliance while speaking to Fang Xing.
"You have three seconds before you are teleported to the scene..."
Fang Xing spoke calmly. "Teng Luotai has already achieved the Law Master realm... you are no match for him. I will restrain him, and it's up to you from there."
"What?"
Vic was taken aback.
Even if Teng Luotai's breakthrough failed and he went berserk, it shouldn't mean he needed to be killed immediately, right?
Whoosh!
The next moment, the spaceship arrived in a sea of thunder.
Vic gazed at the giant figure at the center of the thunder prison, drawing in a sharp breath.
He had nearly mastered the Fire Law, only a step away from perfection.
But he never imagined that this one step made all the difference!
Facing the terrifying aura of the thunder giant, he almost lost the will to fight.
At that moment!
A beam of light shot out from Vic's forehead, entering the thunder giant's body.
The thunder giant roared, and Teng Luotai's face immediately showed signs of struggle: "You... you want to kill me?!"
He felt another force in his mind, vying for control of his consciousness.
But no matter who succeeded, Teng Luotai's fate was almost sealed.
"Die!!"
Vic roared, pushing his True Martial Saint Body to its limit, causing twelve fierce beast silhouettes to appear around him.
The silhouettes merged into a terrifying and fearsome giant figure!
The giant figure unleashed a martial technique, striking the thunder giant with a claw.
The thunder giant was severely injured.
But the next moment.
Zap!
Mysterious bolts of thunder appeared in the universe, striking the thunder giant's body.
Its wounds rapidly healed, and it formed a thunder spear in its hand.
Boom!
With a single thrust of the thunder spear, the True Martial giant figure, fused with the twelve beasts, instantly dissipated.
Vic was covered in blood, watching the bolts of thunder sweep by, and the faces of the Cosmic Realm experts of the Destruction Alliance filled with despair.
"Family, homeland... I'm sorry, I can only go this far..."
As the thunder giant took a step forward, its hand slamming down.
Vic roared one last time, thrusting a flame spear that resembled a torch.
The 'torch' was struck by the thunder wave, about to be extinguished.
But at this critical moment, Teng Luotai's mind encountered some unknown change, and his movements suddenly halted, exposing his vital point.
"I... I have enlightenment!"
A flame flickered in Vic's eyes.
In that moment, he finally fully comprehended the Fire Law.
Rumble!
The power of the law surged, countless crimson threads converging to form a bright red spearhead, which thrust forward with force!
Thud!
The flame spear pierced the thunder giant's chest, and the thunder giant froze, then exploded with a thunderous boom...
"Senior? Senior!"
Vic, now like a god in the flames, could no longer sense the presence of the True Martial Seal.
...
'That's it...'
Fang Xing's consciousness had been observing everything, but now he returned to the Origin World.
Since Pangu Wu had already awakened, in order to control him, Teng Luotai had to abandon the freedom within the True Martial Seal and return to the Origin World to engage in a mental tug-of-war with Pangu Wu's consciousness.
"True Martial! True Martial!"
Before him, a flood of images appeared.
These were scenes from the primitive era, when the Human Clan's Xia Mang practiced the earliest form of martial arts...
These were scenes from the Nine Provinces era, where martial artists, led by Xun Heihu, the True Martial Ancestor, pushed the boundaries of martial arts...
These were scenes from the Steam Age, where grandmasters of various schools made breakthroughs...
These were scenes from the Space Age, where Cosmic Realm martial artists emerged...
"The True Martial Path is rooted in 'truth'!"
"Starting from the self, any martial arts path one cultivates can be considered 'True Martial'!"
Fang Xing's consciousness surged, transforming into the essence of the True Martial Path, suppressing the Pandemonium Path or, more accurately, bringing it to a balanced state, preventing it from awakening within Vic.
Meanwhile, Vic immediately launched an attack on the Banned Star Federation!
Whoosh!
In the universe, a fiery streak darted through, igniting one Banned Star after another!
"Who dares to violate our Banned Stars?"
"Ah... an existence beyond the Cosmic Realm?"
"Damn... Alliance, Alliance... I surrender..."
Ancient beings, long in slumber, were forcibly awakened, only to be reduced to ashes in the flames.
They were very old and had missed their golden years, making it difficult for them to achieve any further breakthroughs.
Vic, armed with a single gun, like a god of fire, annihilated all the Banned Stars.
Then...
the universe was unified, and the Origin Star Alliance smoothly took control of everything.
...
The moment the Origin Star Alliance claimed victory, Vic let out a long, triumphant roar.
"Father, Mother... Homeland... I have done it."
He whispered softly, as if mourning the past.
"Yes, you have done it."
A voice echoed directly in his mind.
"It's you... the True Martial Seal's spirit? Have you come to claim the price that was already marked?"
Vic's divine consciousness swept through, and he suddenly smiled. "Do as you please... after all, I have already achieved my dream."
"Even if... it all means nothing?" Fang Xing sighed deeply.
Vic's expression suddenly changed drastically. He saw... the universe he was in rapidly collapsing, contracting inward...
Planets, star systems, and powerful beings...
all returning to the 'void,' the primal 'one'!
"I am one, I am ten thousand, I am everything!"
As Fang Xing declared, this terrifying world seemed to undergo a strange temporal regression.
Vic tried to resist but found himself a part of this process.
A bitter smile appeared on his face. "So... Father is me, Mother is me, Homeland... is still me! I have always... been me!"
Swish!
He transformed into a crimson streak of fire, instantly merging with the Origin World.
...
Outside the world.
A grand gate stood proudly, vibrating at a different rate of time from its surroundings.
Suddenly!
The Origin World was 'reversed in time,' stars converging to form a map of the human body's meridians.
The unimaginable world of the Heavenly Realms transformed directly into the figure of a giant.
The giant shrank continuously, ultimately taking on Fang Xing's form.
"I have returned..."
Fang Xing touched his palm, feeling the terrifying power it contained.
"Today, I will forge the 'True Martial Path'!"
Suddenly, he declared.
The fundamental layers of the Great Dao trembled, and a new path emerged among the countless others!
Even the fierce black dragon of the Pandemonium Path was suppressed by the True Martial Path!
At that moment, all high-level cultivators within the River of Time and Space felt the aura of the True Martial Path.
They understood that an ultimate path... had been born!
...
"A new path?"
"There is an Eternity Realm existence... born..."
In a mysterious space within the Qinghua Great World.
The secluded Pangu Wu sensed something and smiled. "Not bad for my disciple, to have successfully 'forged a path.' The True Martial Path... even surpasses my Pandemonium Path... However, in the matter of Transcendence, I cannot be outdone by my own disciple..."
He closed his eyes and returned to his isolated state.
To achieve Transcendence, one must first sever karma and then consolidate the characteristics of Transcendence.
Now that he had relinquished the Pandemonium Path, resolving his karma, he would avoid further entanglements before Transcendence, maintaining the best possible state.
As for the Pandemonium Path?
After Fang Xing successfully forged his path, this path fell into an unowned state, allowing future generations to study it and become new Pandemonium Path Lords.
Of course, either Fang Xing or Pangu Wu could reclaim the path with a single thought.
But they had long transcended this karma and would not be foolish enough to take it upon themselves again.
Even Pangu Wu was now free from the burden of the path.
In the future, Fang Xing might need to find a suitable disciple to carry his True Martial Path, serving as a 'Path Filler'!
