A world-shattering battle erupted, fierce from the start, with terrifying auras permeating the entire universe.
The Undying Daoist, wreathed in Ancient Emperor Laws, skipped any probing and unleashed his most fearsome killing moves right away.
His objective was simple: to engage in the most intense confrontation while the Great Accomplishment Saint Body was weakened, causing it to continuously deteriorate.
Even though the Great Accomplishment Saint Body's Blood Essence was immense, it wasn't infinite; there would always be a point where it couldn't sustain itself.
"It seems I overestimated you!" Yang Qing said with a cold laugh.
Looking across all eras, past, present, and future, although Ancient Emperors and Great Emperors could be invincible in their time, other hidden powerhouses existed in the world.
For instance, 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, and the Undying Daoist, originating from him, was enough to make anyone wary.
However, after actually engaging in combat with the Undying Daoist, he discovered it wasn't quite like that.
Although the Undying Daoist originated from the Undying Heavenly Emperor, he ultimately wasn't the Undying Heavenly Emperor. His strength was even inferior to the two Supreme Beings he had fought.
Upon reflection, this was quite reasonable, as Supreme Beings were all once powerhouses invincible in the world.
Even after severing one of their own paths and becoming a Supreme Being, their invincible Dao heart remained. After a final sublimation, they could even become a perfect Ancient Emperor.
These were all things the Undying Daoist lacked. Without the experience of being invincible in the world, there naturally couldn't be an invincible Dao heart.
Even if his strength was no less than that of a Supreme Being, without an invincible Dao heart, the power he could unleash would naturally have a significant gap.
It was no wonder the Undying Daoist would later be suppressed by the Great Emperor Wushi in a mere fifteen minutes; how strong could he really be?
Of course, if it were another Great Accomplishment Saint Body, after a series of intense battles, it might not have been able to continue fighting the Undying Daoist.
But he was different. From the start of his tribulation, his extraordinary combat instincts had been constantly stimulated.
The brutal battles hadn't weakened him; instead, they made him stronger, constantly breaking his own limits.
This battle had no more suspense!
"Impossible! How can you remain at your peak?"
The Undying Heavenly Emperor's expression was grim. After such a prolonged and intense confrontation, he still hadn't sensed any weakening in the Great Accomplishment Saint Body.
This was highly abnormal. Even if the Great Accomplishment Saint Body were made of iron, it couldn't last this long.
To put it bluntly, even a Great Emperor would need time to catch their breath after a series of fierce battles.
But with the Great Accomplishment Saint Body, none of these issues had arisen.
In his fierce confrontation, the Great Accomplishment Saint Body hadn't retreated a single step. Instead, it had been extremely aggressive, constantly engaging him in bloody combat.
He had initially sneered, thinking the Great Accomplishment Saint Body was utterly foolish, hastening its own demise.
But after a period of intense clashes, he gradually realized something was amiss. Why wasn't the Great Accomplishment Saint Body weakening?
Even if its strength wasn't decreasing, how could it be getting stronger the more it fought?
An illusion! This must all be an illusion!
The Great Accomplishment Saint Body must be putting on a brave face, actually on the verge of collapse, and couldn't possibly hold on much longer.
"You've disappointed me too much. This battle is too boring!" Yang Qing said with a lack of interest.
He had initially hoped the Undying Daoist would provide him with some pressure, allowing him to continuously improve during the fight.
Unfortunately, he gave the Undying Daoist opportunities, but the Undying Daoist was useless!
A battle without pressure was no longer worth continuing. He might as well go into seclusion to cultivate with this time.
Previously, when fighting the Supreme Beings, he had to rely on his thick "health bar" to slowly grind them down if he wanted to kill them.
But now, that was no longer necessary!
He unleashed a sword strike, its qi stretching for thirty thousand miles, transforming into a heaven-piercing sword energy that split heaven and earth in two from top to bottom!
World after world shattered under his sword. The destructive power transformed into a vast torrent, sweeping across the past, present, and future.
The Undying Daoist's expression changed instantly, his heart filled with disbelief. Had the Great Accomplishment Saint Body's strength truly increased instead of decreased?
He couldn't help but recall what the Stone Emperor had said: this Great Accomplishment Saint Body had only cultivated for a mere few years.
He had been sleeping all this time and knew little about it, but no matter what, he couldn't believe such an outrageous claim.
Just a few years? Great Accomplishment Saint Body?
The Stone Emperor wasn't thinking straight; what kind of nonsense was he spouting? Exaggeration wasn't supposed to be this extreme!
But now, he was starting to believe it. The strength displayed by the Great Accomplishment Saint Body during their battle was indeed growing stronger.
Could it be that this generation's Great Accomplishment Saint Body was truly an unparalleled prodigy, beyond conventional understanding?
"I don't understand! I don't believe it!"
The thought of this possibility filled the Undying Daoist with uncontrollable panic. How could he encounter something so outrageous?
But he had encountered it today!
The world-shaking sword light was severed once. The invincible sword intent shattered everything. The Undying Daoist's pride and power were collapsing.
This was a supreme technique originating from the Undying Heavenly Emperor, meant to obliterate all, yet it was crumbling before him.
He struggled with all his might, and the entire universe seemed to ignite, with blazing flames transforming into an endless sea of fire, burning all things.
Yang Qing was instantly heavily wounded, his peerless physical body covered in scars, but he paid them no mind.
His battle intent surged, pressing forward relentlessly, a single sword shattering eternity, annihilating the endless sea of fire and causing the Undying Daoist to collapse.
Sword after sword, each faster than the last, each stronger than the last, billions of sword energies descended, suppressing heaven and earth.
"Ah!"
The Undying Daoist let out a scream, his physical body instantly collapsing, his Primordial Spirit heavily wounded, his aura significantly weakened.
As he roared repeatedly, preparing to reconstruct his physical body, a pair of suppressing great hands descended from the sky, firmly imprisoning him.
Golden light surged beneath Yang Qing's feet, covering billions of miles in an instant, extending towards the Big Dipper Star Domain and landing upon Sacred Cliff.
The Shrouding the Heavens great hand descended, suppressing the Undying Daoist within Sacred Cliff, with infinite runes transforming into seals, etched onto Sacred Cliff.
At this moment, he was covered in blood, looking incredibly ferocious, yet possessing the aura of a peerless expert, making one dare not look directly at him.
After waiting for a moment, Yang Qing let out a cold snort, his body shimmering with light, all his injuries healing in an instant.
He had initially thought that the Supreme Beings would be unable to resist attacking him upon seeing his severe injuries, but clearly, the Supreme Beings had great patience.
The various Forbidden Zones of Life remained silent, with no Supreme Being choosing to make a move, as if they were indifferent to the Undying Daoist's suppression.
In fact, if he had willed it, he could have completely annihilated the Undying Daoist, but he did not do so.
On one hand, he wanted to lure them out, but unfortunately, no Supreme Being took the bait. On the other hand, the Undying Daoist held significant value.
The Undying Daoist originated from the Undying Heavenly Emperor, and through him, it might be possible to glimpse some of the Undying Heavenly Emperor's secrets.
Moreover, the Undying Daoist was the crystallization of the Path of Faith, which would be of great value to his research into the Path of Faith.
He did not enter the Undying Mountain again, but instead sat cross-legged on Sacred Cliff, as he had grasped the opportunity for a breakthrough!
