Reflecting Heavens Water Emperor Mirror

"Regardless, a grotto-heaven still had its limits. Even if its power flowed endlessly, there was an upper bound. This Heavenly Stems Grotto-heaven could not comprehend the restoration of damage."

"Tear it apart!"

Ni Xinguang finally took action herself. The Seven-Colored Light swept past like a sword cleaving the heavens, directly splitting the grotto-heaven in two. The fissure was a swath of chaos.

The scene horrified the many cultivators. She was merely at the Quasi-Emperor level, yet by relying on her Dao Art, she could actually unleash power surpassing the Emperor Path?

What was this?

Was this the foundation of the immortal race?

"Cough, cough..."

Yun Ye had also been caught off guard. He was shaken into coughing up a mouthful of blood, suffering his first injury.

Things were no longer so simple. This power was indeed formidable. Yun Ye circulated the Ten Heavenly Stems Law, only then erasing the power transmitted by the Seven-Colored Light and restoring his injuries. He possessed a Heavenly Stems body and could be called a sacred body. All laws should have retreated before him, and even if he were injured, he could recover on his own.

Ni Xinguang's inherited method was truly extraordinary. It forced Yun Ye to actively circulate his cultivation method to eliminate the injuries, preventing them from being automatically obliterated.

"The immortal race's battle prowess never received a proper display on the Heavenly Road. The victor of the battle between the Water Emperor and the Heavenly Emperor was never revealed, either. It was only said that the Future Dao Lord did something in the end, causing the victor to become him and immediately ascend as an immortal."

"Within this, it seems the Water Emperor relied entirely on the Dao Canon and never displayed any earth-shaking might, falling far short of Shenmie Shi, who rose through the Grotto-heaven Method. But was that truly the case? Could it simply be that the Heavenly Emperor was too strong?"

The Heavenly Emperor.

That title could not be assumed casually. It carried an exceptionally special meaning. Even among true immortals, only three possessed the title of Heaven.

Facing such an opponent, the Water Emperor relied on the Dao Canon and the assistance of numerous forces to become an Emperor, opposing him for who knew how many years. Far too much weight had been erased by the phrase "the power of the Dao Canon."

The immortal race could dominate the world for more than merely relying on the Dao Canon. Some members of the immortal race had already lost their Dao Canons, yet could still suppress the world.

The power of Dao Arts also could not be ignored.

The Dao Arts recorded in the Boundless Dao Canon could allow Divine Arts to stack infinitely. It seemed troublesome, but in reality, merely stacking two kinds of Emperor Path power was already enough to sweep across the entire world. Even if an Emperor came back to life, it would be useless.

A slight difference in power meant a world of difference. This was even more so at the Emperor Path level. Why had the Grotto-heaven Law reached its peak the moment it appeared, becoming capable of contending for the title of strongest throughout all of history?

Naturally, it was because every other path had already been walked to its end. Raising one's power by even a fraction could turn the world upside down. The Grotto-heaven Law was the end of that end.

The strongest method!

Once cultivated, there were only two words: invincible!

"I've cleaved apart your grotto-heaven. Let's see how you continue now!"

Ni Xinguang brought her fingers together like a sword and slashed downward. Seven-Colored Light emerged from behind her like seven swords leaving their sheaths, weaving through the air into an immortal sword that could cut through all things.

She swept out with another sword strike, nearly cutting the Heavenly Stems Grotto-heaven into four pieces and inflicting unprecedented heavy damage.

The masters of the various Emperor Path forces saw an opportunity and struck one after another. Vast power suppressed the fissures like enormous hands, tearing the Heavenly Stems Grotto-heaven apart even further.

At this point, the battle situation had gradually become clear. Cultivators everywhere watched the spirit veins burn as their spiritual energy was frantically extracted, and their hearts ached beyond measure. All of them hoped the battle would end as soon as possible so that the master of this Heavenly Stems Grotto-heaven could be slain at the earliest opportunity!

Covering three heavens—how terrifying was that? They absolutely did not want their lives controlled!

Even less did they want their own spirit veins burned to nothing!

"This is troublesome. Is the Neon Race's true-immortal inheritance really this powerful? And this is still before they've brought out the Dao Canon... It seems Shenmie Shi was right to wait until he became an Emperor before taking action. If an immortal race gets involved ahead of time, it's a dimensionality-reducing attack."

Yun Ye frowned.

Shenmie Shi was a figure from ten thousand years ago. At that time, the immortal race had probably trusted too much in its own invincibility and paid no attention, only to suffer a crushing loss.

Now that karma had rebounded onto him, he had merely emerged and was already being targeted, surrounded and attacked directly. Next, who knew whether it would be the Dao Canon or the Heavenly Crown Dao Artifact...

Yun Ye's thoughts stirred slightly. The figure of the woman in the red dress flickered as she stood to one side. It was Tomorrow.

"Unseal it within limits. Inside the Heavenly Stems Universe, using Divide Authority can be concealed beneath the universe's authority," Tomorrow said.

"These four Dao Artifacts are yours." Yun Ye neither confirmed nor denied it. He took out the four Dao Artifacts he had previously used to slay the Venerable and turned them into echoes that vanished into Tomorrow's body.

After completely devouring these echoes, black smoky makeup appeared at the corners of Tomorrow's eyes at some point. This drew Yun Ye's attention. "What is this?"

"Path deviation. I've devoured too many echoes of the Ruling Dao. If this continues, I'll deviate into a Ruling Dao Artifact." Tomorrow frowned slightly.

"What..." Yun Ye thought of something, and his expression shifted.

Absolute Emperor had once said that attaining the Dao through a Ruling Dao Artifact rendered one's original beliefs meaningless, leaving only an empty shell. Perhaps one could resist at first, but one would inevitably be twisted into the original form of the Ruling Dao Artifact.

No way. No way that devouring echoes of the Ruling Dao through other paths would cause the same thing, right?

He associated it with many things. Certain true immortals in history seemed to corroborate all of this!

"You're still brimming with confidence. It seems you haven't been pushed far enough. Truly worthy of being the Grotto-heaven Master. You're only in the Profound Realm, yet you're already this troublesome..."

Ni Xinguang softly exhaled. The Dao Arts within her body circulated through the three heavens. This was her final strike.

Yun Ye's thoughts had vanished in an instant, but his aura could not deceive these peak cultivators. Thus, she understood that Yun Ye still had strength in reserve.

Either she had to unleash her power now and heavily injure him, or she would fail and have no choice but to offer an even more vicious killing move.

"The Dao Arts recorded in the Rainbow Radiance Dao Canon begin in the Mortal Realm and end at the Emperor Path. There are seven realms in total, allowing one to master seven colors of radiance. Each realm is no different from fusing with spiritual nature, multiplying one's power several times over. Upon reaching the seventh realm, one possesses the pinnacle of power in the mortal world—the complete Seven-Colored Light."

"Though I have never cultivated the seven Emperor Path lights, someone within the clan has. They refined it into a supreme treasure, and its name is..."

"Reflecting Heavens Water Emperor Mirror!"

At some point, the phantom image of a water mirror appeared within Ni Xinguang's pupils. It revolved inside her eyes before gradually emerging into the material world.

Emperor Path power swept across the sky, and majestic heavenly might shook both the ancient and modern ages!

Every Venerable present was forced back by this terrifying power. The various Emperor Path Extreme Weapons and Heavenly Dao Divine Artifacts rang out in unison, their Emperor Path power spreading to protect their wielders.

Yet the Reflecting Heavens Water Emperor Mirror stood alone beneath the vault of heaven, looking down arrogantly upon all the Emperor Path Extreme Weapons and Heavenly Dao Divine Artifacts. It faintly possessed an aura in a class of its own.

Only then did all the Venerables understand that Ni Xinguang had not been using her full strength even before this.

She had merely used the Seven-Colored Light belonging to her own power to unleash might capable of cleaving apart a grotto-heaven. Now that she had summoned this Emperor Path Extreme Weapon of unknown origin yet identical source, she was naturally even more invincible—like an Emperor of the immortal race descending into the world and forming an unmatched slaughter calamity!

This man was dead!

The way everyone looked at Yun Ye was already the way they looked at a corpse!

In reality, it was not only them. When the Reflecting Heavens Water Emperor Mirror appeared, Yun Ye's hair stood on end as well. This was a supreme divine artifact on an entirely different level from ordinary Emperor Path Extreme Weapons and Heavenly Dao Divine Artifacts. It came from...

The Water Emperor, Ni Xinzhao!
