Beneath the stars, Heavenly Saber crisscrossed, their Black and White Light illuminating the entire Artificial Island.
Thump!
The Dao Rhythm seemed endless, sweeping across the land.
In an instant, the clouds and all the molecules of everything blurred, as if reaching their end, and everything was dissolving.
It was morning, the sun just beginning to shine, yet the sky was a scene of setting Setting Sun, desolate and barren, with a sense of emptiness as if nothing existed.
A desolate, barren aura spread, causing the group of Close to the Dao Seed to shiver involuntarily.
"What's going on? I have a feeling that we're nearing the end of time, that everything will cease to exist, and everything will return to a singularity."
Some Close to the Dao Seed suddenly felt a sense of loss and a deep unease, as if their lives were counting down and the world was about to end.
In an instant, they felt that everything was meaningless, that the world would cease to exist, and that the Dao Tree resources and the Supreme God Riding Light were all utterly uninteresting.
Soon, they were stunned again, realizing that they had been affected by the Qi Mechanism of the Reincarnation Heavenly Saber.
These Close to the Dao Seed, trying to dispel this unease and melancholy, ultimately became even more convinced that the world's end was real and wanted to go home to see their parents one last time.
"I am a prodigy, how could I be inferior to others!"
Some of the Close to the Dao Seed practitioners roared angrily, trying to forcefully eliminate the unease in their hearts with their own foundation, but found that their emotions were deeply rooted and they could not control their shouts:
"The world will end!"
He barely managed to stay conscious, then felt as if struck by lightning, utterly shocked.
Despite possessing sufficient strength, comparable to Lin Tianjiao, he was still unable to withstand the Qi Mechanism emanating from the Heavenly Saber.
"Death is fading away, time has no meaning, the universe is subject to natural cycles of Life-Death, and we will all come to an end!"
Another person responded, shouting, also a renowned cultivator of the Close to the Dao Seed, with an unparalleled foundation, but at this moment his eyes were completely empty.
Immediately afterwards, several more Close to the Dao Seed, seemingly insane or possessed, cried out in a daze:
"All will eventually return to darkness, the End of All Things!"
"Cold emptiness is the norm; light is but a speck of dust in time, the End of the day."
"All things turn to dust, the End!"
"The End!"
The Close to the Dao Seed screamed like madmen, as if their souls had been stripped away, leaving only empty shells facing the "The End".
The Chief of Xingluo Domain stared blankly at his fellow beings, their souls departing one by one, utterly lost in thought, muttering to himself:
"Is this the Samsara, the end..."
The top-ranked person on the Close to the Dao Ranking trembled with fear and quickly shut up.
He broke out in a cold sweat, terrified.
He almost, almost, the Close to the Dao Seed Ranking cultivator in a region, had to cry "the End."
He glanced at the Heavenly Saber and felt a chill run down his spine.
Life and death are the highest Dao Chapter, but some extraordinary people can unite the two and Palm Control the Samsara of all things.
The Heavenly Saber had not yet revealed its sharpness; merely the overflowing Qi Mechanism nearly caused him to fall victim to it.
He was deeply shocked and overwhelmed with mixed feelings. Even though he was unparalleled in the region and had seen countless grand scenes, this was the first time he had ever witnessed such a terrifying Heavenly Saber.
"Brother Dao, please restrain the power of Samsara."
At that moment, a voice rang out, its tone revealing helplessness.
Those who remained conscious glanced over and saw that the speaker was none other than Tao Zhenzhang of his time.
Clearly, while the other person was unaffected, the female companion beside him kept chanting "the End," leaving even the man at a loss for what to do.
This left them deeply disturbed and quite surprised.
Even someone as capable as Tao Zhenzhang would find it difficult to find a solution in a short time.
Soon, they sensed something and, following Tao Zhenzhang's gaze, looked expectantly into the crowd.
Jiang Pingping!
Hao Jun, standing to the side, felt his head was about to explode, staring in astonishment at the young man in blue beside him.
Jiang Pingping was right beside him!
Moreover, the two had been drinking at the same restaurant and exchanging words in the past few days, but he hadn't recognized them.
"Good."
Jiang Ping nodded happily.
He knew that once he chose to take action, it would be difficult to hide it from these peerless Close to the Dao Seed.
So there's nothing to hide anymore.
Jiang Ping reached out and grasped the Heavenly Saber that emitted Black and White Light in his hand.
Sulfuric acid!
At the same time, accompanied by the sound of a sword whistling, those deluded cultivators Close to the Dao Seed awoke as if from a dream.
After regaining their senses, these people who had Close to the Dao Seed recalled their words and actions and were momentarily stunned and bewildered.
They were terrified and felt a sense of disbelief.
The Qi Mechanism emanating from the Heavenly Saber caused them to lose their minds and do absurd things against their conscience, which was both shocking and shameful.
"It's just the Qi Mechanism of the Heavenly Saber; how could I have been so rude?"
Many people murmured, their expressions dazed.
They were all extraordinary talents in their respective regions, unparalleled in their own right. There were no weaklings among them; the least capable were like Shu Mingxiao.
But once they arrived here, facing this Heavenly Saber, they were utterly powerless to fight back and had already become lambs to the slaughter.
"This knife is strange, stay away, I don't want to shout 'The End' anymore."
One of the "victims" viewed Jiang Ping as a monster and took a step back.
In fact, when Jiang Ping gripped the knife, everyone kept their distance and dared not approach him.
The excited Hao Jun had already retreated more than ten feet away.
There was no other reason than that he had just uttered the word "the End."
As devout as Lin Tianjiao was, he stood outside the crowd, feeling both moved and apprehensive.
Samsara begins, the End appears; possessing the means to dissolve all things, he also fears being accidentally harmed.
At this moment, the center of the crowd was empty, giving Jiang Ping ample space.
Across from him, Ren Tianxing raised an eyebrow and said:
"Do you want to settle the score with me now?"
"Um?"
Jiang Ping made a sudden move, wielding the Heavenly Saber and striking first.
A major battle is imminent.
Boom!
Ren Tianxing dared not be careless and gave a soft shout:
"The Supreme God Riding Light!"
His Primordial Spirit stepped into an unknown realm, illuminated by light, piercing through space.
In a daze, everyone seemed to hear a majestic and solemn chanting. A kind of oppressive force from a superior swept over everyone's hearts, making their faces stiffen and some tremble.
This is the Daoguang Realm, which has long surpassed the limits of the Concept Realm of God and is often the standard for divine travel in the eighth or ninth heaven.
But to display it now in the hands of a Sixth Heaven Realm cultivator is nothing short of defying the heavens.
Lin Tianjiao's expression was grave. When he fought Ren Tianxing, he initially had the upper hand, but after hearing the chanting of the gods, he was instantly defeated.
He knew that Ren Tianxing going all out against Jiang Pingping and dared not hold back at all.
Buzz!
At this moment, Jiang Ping opened his Samsara Dharma Eye and saw everything clearly.
Below, Ren Tianxing hunched over, his legs bent. He couldn't even lift his head; none of his men had fully entered this realm.
Jiang Ping remained expressionless as the Heavenly Saber unleashed its Power of the End, its boundless Dao Rhythm engulfing Ren Tianxing like a raging torrent crashing against the shore, sweeping across the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands.
In an instant, the chanting of the gods subsided, and the light emanating from them dimmed.
Ren Tianxing began to bleed from his seven orifices, his face filled with astonishment.
Jiang Ping then spoke coldly:
"You haven't even fully set foot in this realm yet; you must have had a bit of bad luck. How dare you call yourself a 'Supreme God Riding Light,' and dare to challenge me to a duel?"
Ren Tianxing had disheveled hair and a ferocious expression.
He struggled to enter this realm, envied by countless others of his kind, but in their eyes, he had only gotten lucky.
"The Supreme God Riding Light!"
Ren Tianxing, and the Dao Light blazed fiercely once more, attempting to kill. However, Jiang Ping shattered the Dao Light with a single strike, and the chanting gods fell silent.
Everyone was petrified; the divine Dao Light that surpassed even Divine Intent was so easily shattered.
Clang!
Jiang Ping continued to swing his sword. If his opponent had fully entered the Daoguang Realm, he might have to put in some effort.
But he didn't even get a full stroke of luck. He only managed to squeeze in halfway, and his Heavenly Saber form was enough to crush him. His Bone Technique was only at Thirty percent activation, let alone allowing him to "Supreme God Riding Light."
Bang!
Ren Tianxing's body was cracked, and his skin was covered in Golden Blood. He lay limp on the ground like a lump of mud, and the light of his Primordial Spirit dimmed rapidly.
He was terrified and incredulous.
I thought Dao Light even if there was a gap in my abilities, it wouldn't be too big.
However, reality was extremely cruel. He clearly realized that the two sides were not even in the same league, separated by a huge chasm, like fireflies facing the bright moon.
Ren Tianxing was deeply troubled and filled with complex emotions. He regarded Lin Tianjiao as an ant, someone he could easily injure, but in front of Lin Tianjiao, wasn't he just as insignificant?
At this time.
Jiang Ping approached with his knife drawn, his face arrogant and condescending.
"I thought he was someone important, but he's just a nobody, all talk and no action."
The scene was completely silent, with only the soft sound of Jiang Pingping's footsteps.
Everyone stared at this scene in disbelief, their hearts pounding with shock.
Isn't Ren Tianxing strong?
That's incredibly powerful!
He defied the heavens and Control Daoguang, possessing absolutely extraordinary talent.
He first severely injured Lin Tianjiao, then defeated the Chief of Xingluo Domain. It can be said that he is the number one person here, second only to Ji Wushuang and Tao Zhenzhang.
They felt that even if this person was not as good as Jiang Pingping, he should be very close, and there would be a battle of the Peak.
However, the expectations in his heart were in stark contrast to reality.
Ren Tianxing, who was already a Big Mountain in their eyes, was regarded as roadside grass by others.
"There's always someone better. Ren Tianxing is amazing enough to inspire envy, but some people stand Mountain peak, almost able to look down on everything."
Many people remarked that before even setting foot on the island to compete for resources, they had already witnessed the unparalleled Combat strength of a prodigy.
Close to the Dao Seed among those Close to the Dao Seed, there are worlds apart!
Undoubtedly, Jiang Pingping is a prodigy on par with Ji Wushuang Tao Zhenzhang. Leaving aside Zhong Shenxiu, he has the talent and ability to be the chief in any sea area.
"Jiang Pingping!"
Lin Tianjiao shouted, feeling exhilarated.
The prodigy he admired was Divine Might, which helped him vent his anger and ease his resentment.
"Brother Tianjiao, isn't Brother Pingping strong?"
Hao Jun put his arm around Lin Tianjiao's shoulder, showing none of the tension they had shown in the previous Forbidden Land situation.
The latter curled his lip, "Needless to say, isn't this a legendary scene unfolding right now?"
Then, Lin Tianjiao's expression turned strange again. When would he be able to talk to Hao Jun calmly? The memory of being slapped was still fresh in his mind.
"We've become friends through conflict. As fellow Daoists from the Tianluo Region Close to the Dao Seed, we should be on good terms. Once we return from our trip to the island to join the fun, we can have a few drinks. And let me tell you, Brother Pingping's strongest technique isn't the Reincarnation Heavenly Saber."
Hao Jun, seeing that he was unconcerned about trivial matters and did not hold a grudge against Lin Tianjiao, secretly revealed a secret that had never been mentioned before.
"What?"
Lin Tianjiao, his face filled with shock, completely forgot that he had been slapped by the person in front of him, and nodded solemnly:
"Why didn't you say so sooner? Hmm, after the Resource competition is over, we should drink until we drop and have a proper chat."
"That's more like it."
Hao Jun hooked his arm around Lin Tianjiao's neck and pulled him closer.
The Black and White Light was dazzling, seemingly vying with the highest stars.
In the arena, Jiang Ping remained untouched by the dust of the world, always calm and composed, bathed in the aura of black and white, exuding a powerful presence.
As he swung his sword, Ren Tianxing's Primordial Spirit and Dao Light dimmed once again.
Ren Tianxing was terrified and his heart trembled.
His Dao Light Primordial Spirit did not fade due to injury, but rather dissipated in a strange way, and his Dao practice gradually declined.
"My Dao Light!"
Ren Tianxing was horrified to discover that his Primordial Spirit, which was standing firmly in the Daoguang Realm, began to tremble, becoming somewhat unsteady and showing signs of retreating.
Like a celestial being about to descend to the mortal realm, his connection with this world is diminishing.
Jiang Ping Dharma Eye things clearly and decided to teach him a lesson he would never forget, thus crippling his Dao practice.
Sulfuric acid!
He swung his sword, splitting heaven and earth in two, creating all sorts of wondrous scenes of Life-Death, with Dao Pattern filling the sky, almost completely obscuring it.
With a clang, it wasn't as violent as he had imagined. Jiang Ping felt as if he had struck solid Jade Gold, and even his hand trembled slightly.
At this moment, the longsword engraved with Dao Pattern shone brightly, and an unfamiliar Dao Rhythm gradually arose, then spread across the sky, filling half the sky, almost rivaling the Reincarnation Saber Light.
Everyone was stunned.
There are still experts!
Boundary line.
This chapter has a bit more words, but it's only one and a half chapters. I'll update it again after the New Year. I plan to try updating three times a week after the New Year and want to reach the million-word mark as soon as possible.
Of course, if I can't manage three updates a day, I will make up for the missed updates that everyone has mentioned.
