A heaven-shaking battle erupted, ferocious from the very first exchange. A terrifying aura spread throughout the entire universe.
Ancient Emperor Laws coiled around the Undying Daoist. There was no probing attack; he opened with his most terrifying killing move.
His purpose was simple: take advantage of the Great Accomplishment Saint Body's weakness and force him into the fiercest possible confrontation, steadily wearing him down.
The Great Accomplishment Saint Body's vitality and blood might be peerless, but it was not inexhaustible. There would always come a time when he could no longer endure.
"Looks like I overestimated you!" Yang Qing said with a sneer.
Throughout the past, present, and future, although Ancient Emperors and Great Emperors could reign invincible for an era, other powerful beings had always remained hidden in the world.
Such as Tribulation Crossing Heavenly Venerate Cao Yusheng, Emperor Venerate, the Undying Heavenly Emperor, and the Ruthless Great Emperor.
The Undying Heavenly Emperor was undoubtedly a terrifying existence. Since the Undying Daoist originated from him, anyone would naturally be wary.
Yet after truly fighting the Undying Daoist, Yang Qing discovered that this was not the case at all.
Though the Undying Daoist came from the Undying Heavenly Emperor, he was ultimately not the Undying Heavenly Emperor. His strength was even inferior to the two Supremes who had fought Yang Qing.
Thinking about it carefully, this was perfectly reasonable. The Supremes had once been invincible experts of the world.
Even after cutting themselves down and becoming Supremes, their Dao Hearts from their invincible days remained. After Ultimate Ascension, they could even become flawless Ancient Emperors.
These were all things the Undying Daoist lacked. Without the experience of being invincible in the world, there could naturally be no such thing as an invincible Dao Heart.
Even if his power was not inferior to a Supreme's in the slightest, without an invincible Dao Heart, there would naturally be a significant gap in the strength he could display.
No wonder the Undying Daoist would be suppressed by Great Emperor Wushi for a quarter of an hour in the future. How strong could he possibly be?
Of course, if it had been another Great Accomplishment Saint Body, after undergoing battle after battle, he might not have been able to continue fighting the Undying Daoist.
But Yang Qing was different. Since crossing his tribulation, his extraordinary battle instincts had remained constantly stimulated.
Brutal battles did not weaken him. Instead, they made him stronger with every fight, continuously shattering his own limits.
There was no longer any suspense in this battle!
"Impossible! How can you remain at your peak the entire time?"
The Undying Heavenly Emperor's expression darkened. After fighting so fiercely for so long, he still had not sensed the Great Accomplishment Saint Body weakening.
This was utterly abnormal. Even if the Great Accomplishment Saint Body were forged from iron, he could not have endured for this long.
Without exaggeration, even a Great Emperor would need time to catch his breath after battle after battle.
Yet none of these problems had appeared on the Great Accomplishment Saint Body.
Throughout their fierce clash, the Great Accomplishment Saint Body had not retreated a single step. On the contrary, he had been incredibly aggressive, constantly fighting him to the death.
At first, he had sneered repeatedly, thinking the Great Accomplishment Saint Body foolish beyond measure. Was he dissatisfied that he was not weakening quickly enough?
But after their violent collision continued for some time, he gradually realized that something was wrong. Why was the Great Accomplishment Saint Body still not weakening?
It would have been one thing if his strength had not declined, but how could the Great Accomplishment Saint Body actually grow stronger as the battle went on?
An illusion! This absolutely had to be an illusion!
The Great Accomplishment Saint Body had to be forcing himself to endure. He was actually already incredibly weak and could not possibly hold on much longer.
"You have disappointed me too much. This battle is far too boring!" Yang Qing said listlessly.
He had originally thought the Undying Daoist could place him under some pressure and allow him to improve continuously in battle.
Unfortunately, he had given the Undying Daoist an opportunity, but the Undying Daoist simply could not measure up!
There was no need to continue a battle without pressure. Rather than waste time here, he might as well enter seclusion and cultivate.
When he had fought the Supremes before, he could only rely on his vast reserves of vitality and blood to gradually wear them down if he wanted to kill them.
But that was no longer necessary!
He slashed out with a sword. Sword qi swept across thirty thousand li, becoming a blade of sword qi that pierced heaven and earth, splitting the world in two from top to bottom!
World after world collapsed beneath his sword. The power of destruction transformed into a vast, surging flood that swept through the past, present, and future.
The Undying Daoist's expression changed instantly, his heart filled with disbelief. The Great Accomplishment Saint Body's strength had truly increased rather than diminished?
He could not help recalling what the Stone Emperor had once said: the Great Accomplishment Saint Body before him had cultivated for merely a few short years.
He had been sleeping all this time and knew little about the matter, but no matter what, he could not believe something so absurd.
Only a few short years? The Saint Body had already reached Great Accomplishment?
Did the Stone Emperor not use his brain at all? What kind of nonsense was that? Even exaggeration was not supposed to be this outrageous!
Yet now, he was beginning to believe it. The strength the Great Accomplishment Saint Body displayed during their battle had indeed grown stronger and stronger.
Could it be that this generation's Great Accomplishment Saint Body was truly a peerless monster who could not be judged by common sense?
"I don't understand! I don't believe it!"
At the thought of that possibility, the Undying Daoist felt uncontrollable panic. How could something so absurd happen to him?
Yet today, it had happened to him!
A world-shaking sword radiance cleaved down. Invincible sword intent destroyed everything, and the power the Undying Daoist had taken such pride in was collapsing.
This was a peerless method originating from the Undying Heavenly Emperor, something that should have annihilated all things. Yet before Yang Qing, it was continuously crumbling apart.
He struggled with all his might. The entire universe seemed to ignite as blazing flames became a boundless sea of fire, burning away everything.
Yang Qing immediately suffered heavy injuries. Wounds appeared across his unparalleled body, but he paid them no heed at all.
His battle intent surged as he pressed forward without hesitation. One sword destroyed eternity, extinguishing the endless sea of fire and driving the Undying Daoist into collapse.
Sword after sword followed, each faster and stronger than the last. Hundreds of millions of sword rays pierced heaven and earth as they suppressed him from above.
"Ah!"
The Undying Daoist let out a miserable scream. His body collapsed instantly, his primordial spirit suffered grievous damage, and his aura plummeted.
As he roared in fury and prepared to reconstruct his body, a pair of suppressing hands descended from the heavens and firmly imprisoned him.
A golden path appeared beneath Yang Qing's feet. In an instant, he crossed hundreds of millions of li, extending toward the Big Dipper Star Domain and arriving at Sacred Cliff.
A heaven-covering hand descended, suppressing the Undying Daoist within Sacred Cliff. Endless runes became seals, engraving themselves upon Sacred Cliff.
At this moment, his entire body was drenched in blood, making him look incomparably vicious. Yet he carried the bearing of a peerless expert, making others unable to meet his gaze.
After waiting for a moment, Yang Qing snorted coldly. Divine light flickered around him, and all his injuries recovered in an instant.
He had thought that upon seeing him severely injured, the Supremes would be unable to resist attacking him. But clearly, the Supremes were quite patient.
The various Forbidden Zones of Life remained silent. Not a single Supreme chose to act, as though they were utterly indifferent to the Undying Daoist being suppressed.
In truth, if he wished, he could completely grind the Undying Daoist into nothingness. Yet he did not do so.
On one hand, he wanted to fish for a response, but unfortunately, no Supreme was willing to take the bait. On the other hand, the Undying Daoist held immense value.
The Undying Daoist originated from the Undying Heavenly Emperor. Perhaps Yang Qing could glimpse some of the Undying Heavenly Emperor's secrets through him.
Moreover, the Undying Daoist was the crystallization of the Path of Faith, making him immensely valuable for Yang Qing's research into the Path of Faith.
He did not enter Undying Mountain again. Instead, he sat cross-legged atop Sacred Cliff, because he had already grasped the opportunity for a breakthrough!
