Thirty Years of Flight Through the Starry Sky (Part One)
The Initial Land was deathly silent. The geniuses from both realms were completely stunned, staring in disbelief at the scene before them.
A Gu Shuo being, Supreme Experts the Dao Ancestor level, was mortally wounded and suffered severe injuries before the king, his appearance extremely pitiful.
This is an absolutely glorious achievement, worthy of being recorded in the annals of both realms, setting a precedent for a monarch to suppress Dao Ancestor.
"I am the Dao Ancestor, still in my prime, how could I possibly perish?!"
Sang Wan roared fiercely, her face contorted in a ferocious expression.
Faced with the threat of death, he did not sit idly by and wait for his demise; instead, he launched a frantic counterattack.
"Earth-Severing Heaven-Penetration!"
Sang Wan used his supreme power to lock down the Initial Land with boundless World Power. Then he ignited this power, almost self-destructing, a suicidal move.
At this moment, even the kings of the Nine Profound Realm panicked. If the Dao Ancestor successfully self-destructed, they would all perish on the spot.
Fortunately, this scene never happened.
Dao-Self Body demeanor remained unchanged, mysterious and powerful, my face expressionless.
He stretched out his long, slender fingers, and a surging Black Abyss stretched out before him, capable of devouring everything.
That violent World Power, the ignited power of the Dao Ancestor, was instantly sucked into the abyss.
The Qi Mechanism from my Dao-Self Body grew stronger and stronger, as if it hadn't been depleted at all during the battle with the Dao Ancestor. At this moment, its kingly power was even greater than before.
The woman in the purple dress from the Nine Profound Realm felt a chill run down her spine. Seeing my Dao-Self Body as if it were a monster, she felt a chill run down her spine.
The World Power the Dao Ancestor Realm was so terrifying and violent that even beings of equal standing would show great fear, yet in front of that monarch, it was like nourishment for himself.
The Xuanhuang group also felt a chill run down their spines.
This method of devouring all spirits is far more monstrous than that extreme Chaos Body Lei Fang.
"If one day, Xuanhuang runs out of resources to support his growth, will he devour the ancestors and feed on the realms?"
Some people couldn't help but think that way.
This ability is so terrifying that it's like a gluttonous Taotie in the world, with all living Myriad Dao on its menu.
"When all things perish, All Things Flourish; relying solely on devouring others will hardly lead to the end."
Yu Changqing couldn't help but explain that he was also Chaos Dao Monarch, and in the future he would become the second World Lord the Xuanhuang Realm, just like Jiang Ping.
Distant sky.
Sang Wan felt a chill run down his spine. He couldn't even bring himself to self-destruct, instead turning the tables on his opponent and allowing the righteous to rise while the evil ones flourished.
My Heart Is Heaven's Heart!
Sang Wan exhaled a grand Dao Sound, Runes pierced through space, and surging World Power came in. In an instant, he recovered most of his strength, and his injuries were visibly improving.
"Sang Wan, what are you doing?"
A dignified voice came from above.
That was Dao Ancestor Cang Heng, who was utterly indifferent and slightly disdainful at this moment.
To step into mythology only to be severely injured by a king is a disgrace to the Dao Ancestor; he has lived two thousand years in vain.
Currently, in order to save their lives, the opponent is willing to resonate with the Nine Profound Will, nourishing themselves by consuming the Origin the Nine Profound Realm. This method is against the natural order and is detrimental to the Nine Mysteries Realms.
"If you won't save me, I'll save myself!"
Sang Wan was filled with madness, disregarding any cost, wanting to escape from the clutches of the king before her.
"It's not that we won't help, it's just that not all of our Dao Ancestor have arrived."
Seven magnificent tails pierced the Starry Sky, causing several enormous stars to explode.
That was the Nine-Tailed Fox Ancestor of the Nine Profound Realm, but now it had become a Seven-Tailed Fox. She glanced at Initial Land and sighed inwardly.
This battle between the two realms came suddenly. The Dao Ancestor of the Nine Profound Realm did not mobilize all his forces, or rather, they never intended to break off relations.
As a result, Sang Wan remained silent among the younger generation and suddenly launched an attack, forcing even these Dao Ancestor to take action.
On Xuanhuang's home turf, even though the Nine Mysteries Dao Ancestor had a numerical advantage, they were locked in a fierce battle and could not come to Sang Wan's aid at all.
Thump!
A section of the Heavenly Spear pierced through heaven and earth, abruptly descending upon the Initial Land.
Cang Heng made his move, ostensibly to save Sang Wan, but in reality, it was also to kill Jiang Ping.
If a monarch possesses such terrifying Combat strength, what would it be like if he were a World Lord?
Perhaps this is why Sang Wan couldn't help but show up and cause trouble.
Jiang Ping shielded his wife tightly behind him, and when he looked up, he felt a chill run down his spine.
This is the pressure that the number one person in Xuanhuang bears. Although he is the most powerful among his Peers, once a great enemy appears, he will be the main target, and he will face the killing intent of the Dao Ancestor.
With a bang, the Heavenly Spear exploded in mid-air, failing to fall.
In the Starry Sky, a peerless figure surveyed the scene, her delicate hands stained with blood—the blood of her opponent, though. She looked down at Cang Heng:
"You dare to be distracted in front of me?"
"Something will happen sooner or later, kill him!"
Seeing that the crisis had passed, Jiang Ping himself immediately spoke.
In fact, Dao-Self Body had already taken action. Its form and spirit were invigorated, as if Myriad Dao were bursting forth, and its supreme power was released, forcefully interrupting Sang Wan's resonance with the World Heart.
How could this be?!
Sang Wan's face was grim. He had already used the forbidden methods of the Dao Ancestor, but he was still thwarted. His injuries, which had just begun to improve, instantly backfired, leaving him looking and feeling utterly disheveled.
"The Dao Returns to Heaven!!"
This Dao Ancestor revealed his will to die, and ultimately disregarded everything, voluntarily detonating the vast World Power within his body. His form and spirit shone brightly, as if a magnificent Mountains and Rivers had exploded.
At this moment, even Jiang Ping himself felt as if a shadow of death had fallen over him.
It turns out that the previous self-destruction was just a scare tactic, intended to make Dao-Self Body hesitant to act; the real self-destruction was yet to come.
Rumble!!
A vast power swept Initial Land, and the surging Wind Force nearly melted the Monarch.
Dao-Self Body's calm eyes slightly opened; it had made its move. How could it watch the Dao Ancestor self-destruct?
Within its body, the vast heaven and earth are surging, just like a real world, with mountains and rivers majestic, thousands of ways flourishing, and full of vitality.
Several kings even vaguely glimpsed that in that world, towering ancient trees grew, full of vitality, Dao-Self Body was like a god who created Divine Kingdom, transcendent and like an immortal.
Dao Self's chest glowed, outlining a mysterious passage. It grabbed the Dao Ancestor, whose body and spirit were cracked, and just as it threw him into the passage, a loud boom resounded, and Dao Self's body instantly trembled.
The woman in the purple dress saw that the World Prototype Dao-Self Body created suddenly exploded, shattering Mountains and Rivers, and Myriad Dao cries of despair.
With a thud, Dao-Self Body staggered, blood seeping from the corner of my mouth.
As a result, Jiang Ping's physical body also suffered a backlash, and his face turned deathly pale.
Clearly, Dao-Self Body also chose a suicidal strategy at the last moment. Its Mythic Transformation was destroyed with the self-destruction of Dao Ancestor, its Combat strength plummeted, and it could no longer maintain its Monarch Realm.
Will the demise of a myth affect itself?
Xie Wen couldn't help but speak up.
At this moment, he realized that Jiang Ping's Dao-Self Body was not even as strong as the two kings on his side, and his physical body almost fell over. He only managed to stand up with difficulty after being supported by his wife.
Yu Changqing's expression was grave, as if deep in thought.
He also noticed that Dao-Self Body was gradually becoming transparent and disintegrating; as it passed away, Past Self Body also cracked, making it difficult to reflect the present world.
With a soft "poof".
In the distance, Jiang Ping finally couldn't hold on any longer and began coughing up blood incessantly.
Dao-Self Body chose to perish together with Dao Ancestor, causing him to suffer severe backlash and his Dao Light to dim.
Jiang Ping is seriously injured!
The woman in the purple dress had a sinister look in her eyes. Their own Dao Ancestor had risked his life to severely injure a monarch; this was an utter disgrace.
That's enough, though. Their talent is unparalleled. If they were to make a move, they might be able to kill them here and sever the future of Xuanhuang.
"Perhaps he can be killed!"
The Yin Zhi King, who had just been crushed by Jiang Ping with one hand, recovered and stared at the blood-spitting Jiang Ping with Killing intent.
If he could sever the Young World Lord's head, he might not ascend to immortality on the spot, but at least he could vent his pent-up anger and make his future Dao Path smoother.
The Peak showdown had just ended, and the two sides immediately confronted each other, eyeing each other warily.
Zhao Linkong and his group naturally saw through the other party's intentions; they wanted to take the opportunity to kill the Young World Lord.
"Jiang Ping's injuries are serious. Has it affected his health?"
Xie Lingxu suddenly transmitted his voice.
Zhao Linkong looked up. "What do you mean by that? Do you think that Jiang Ping's journey to the Monarch King Realm will be affected by this battle?"
"Reverse Effect into Cause, Reverse Effect into Cause, now that the 'effect' has vanished, won't the 'cause' also be implicated, leaving behind serious Dao Injury?"
Xie Lingxu glanced at Jiang Ping, who was still coughing up blood, and couldn't help but say.
Zhao Linkong shook his head. "Although my Dao-Self Body is extraordinary, it is only a Dharma Body. Although it will affect the real body, it should be fine once it is properly cultivated. You'd better not have any inappropriate thoughts."
He even suspected that Jiang Ping was faking his injury, probably to reduce the Nine Profound Realm's targeting based on his past behavior.
Xie Lingxu shrugged, neither confirming nor denying.
In the Nine Profound Realm camp, the woman in the purple dress hesitated. She wanted to make a move and kill Jiang Ping immediately, but even without Dao-Self Body, the opponent's Combat strength was still incredibly strong, which made her somewhat apprehensive.
With a loud bang, the confrontation between the two geniuses was short-lived, when an unexpected event occurred.
Suddenly, the whole world went dark.
In an instant, everyone felt their hearts tremble and their souls quiver.
Even the Dao Ancestor who were fighting in the secluded world were tense and gradually trembling.
In the boundless Starry Sky, a colossal figure appeared, so enormous that it was many times larger than any of the Great Dao Ancestor.
At this moment, the sun and moon roared, the stars shifted and the heavens and earth all uncontrollably drew closer and revolved around it.
His face was indistinct, like Jiang Ping's Dao-Self Body, shrouded in a mysterious veil, but the Qi Mechanism he exuded far surpassed that of Dao-Self Body.
Rumble!
His breath was like Heavenly Thunder, causing the stars in the sky to rise and fall, and even the mighty Great Sun to tremble as if it were about to be extinguished by his breath.
Zhong Yong's expression turned solemn. The identity of the newcomer was obvious; he must be the strongest being in the Nine Profound Realms, the Dao Ancestor of the Ninth Heaven, a being whose existence was beyond compare.
"Can it stop it?"
Lu Zaohua felt heavy-hearted.
The most powerful and brilliant ancestors of Xuanhuang died young. Is there anyone in Xuanhuang today who can rival them?
Thump!
For example, the universe is vast and profound, with countless stars shining brightly.
The moment the enormous creature appeared, it unleashed unparalleled carnage.
His palm was vast, seemingly capable of containing an entire world; a boundless Order rose, Runes poured down like rivers and seas.
With a deafening roar, Initial Land was the first to be hit, and the entire world cracked open, revealing deep ravines.
Jiang Ping, unable to contain his anger, couldn't help but curse, "Damn it!"
He was furious. First, Sang Wan tried to kill him, then Cang Heng, and now even the strongest person in the Nine Profound Realm had come.
Ignoring the Dao Ancestor fighting in the outer world, the other side directly attacked the Initial Land, their purpose being self-evident: they were still after Jiang Ping.
"Your future is too bright, and your talent is unparalleled throughout history."
A loud voice rang out, demonstrating just how much this person cared about Jiang Ping.
Or perhaps, this was a heartfelt praise for the young man Jiang Ping, which surprised even this invincible Peak being of the Nine Profound Realm for countless millennia, who immediately cast his gaze upon him.
Cang Heng, who was still struggling in the secluded world, couldn't help but peek out. He had dominated the Nine Profound Realm for a thousand years without being able to surpass him, but he had never received a single word of praise from that senior.
"Thank you so much."
Jiang Ping rolled his eyes. What's the point of saying such things? He's still going to take action anyway.
He lay down, realizing that his opponent was someone he couldn't contend with, and that any means he used would likely be futile.
"The Causality of the Xuanhuang, all return to me."
At the critical moment, the Turtle Shell went berserk first, using its extraordinary abilities to resonate with the Xuanhuang Will and borrow the Heaven and Earth Power.
With a bang, the Turtle Shell exploded, nearly shattering into pieces.
"Well..."
The Turtle Shell sighed. It was not Ancestral Artifact. The creature that created it originally intended to forge an invincible Ancestral Artifact, but it was delayed by another matter when it reached the critical juncture.
This ancient artifact evokes countless thoughts, recalling past glories; it seems to foreshadow the untimely death of another brilliant genius.
Memories surged like a tide, then suddenly stopped, recalling a long-forgotten event.
It suddenly cried out in alarm, "My lord was searching for a golden banner back then!"
"Peerless Ancestral Artifact!!!"
A wave of emotion surged within the Turtle Shell. Memories of its past, when it was still in a state of obscurity, were now exceptionally clear. It was the crucial moment when it was about to transform into Ancestral Artifact, but its master suddenly went mad.
Because it was during a time of fierce battles, the Xuanhuang Peerless Ancestral Artifact suddenly shattered, causing the Dao Ancestor, and a group of sages to search for it everywhere.
The ending was tragic; the Peerless Ancestral Artifact shattered and remained sealed away, never to be displayed in the mortal world again.
"Xuanhuang, heed my command!!"
Just then, a roar that seemed to pierce the heavens resounded.
That was Zhong Yong; at that moment, he was disheveled and pale.
He fought three top- Supreme Dao Ancestor single-handedly just now and wasn't seriously injured.
However, when facing the strongest of the Nine Mysteries, he was powerless to resist and suffered severe injuries upon contact.
"My Nine Mysteries are supreme; how dare you try to extort me?"
The Seven-Tailed Fox Ancestor laughed loudly.
She was the most dazzling figure in the Nine Mysteries, even more stunning than Cang Heng in her youth, and now, as the Ninth-Heaven Dao Ancestor, she was only one step away from becoming the legendary World Lord.
That enormous figure hung high above the world, its massive hand slamming down towards the Initial Land.
"Lu Zaohua is buying me time!"
Zhong Yong shouted anxiously, and after his own attempts to stop it failed, he had no choice but to resort to the ultimate measure, but it would take time.
"Good!!"
Lu Zaohua immediately rushed towards that enormous, boundless figure, but it was too high to climb. Before it, Lu Zaohua was like a weak moth.
But he went without hesitation. Jiang Ping was too important; he might be Xuanhuang's hope for survival in the face of death, and he could not afford to perish here.
Protect My Lands and Mountains!
Another female Dao Ancestor, Xuanhuang, also charged towards the Nine Heavens. She was only at the Dao Ancestor Initial Realm, but she did not hesitate at all.
Although their strength was weak, they still wanted to leave something behind for Xuanhuang.
With a thud, the female Dao Ancestor also resonated with the Xuanhuang Will, just like Sang Wan who had just died.
Her strength was amplified, comparable to Mid-Stage Dao Ancestor, but that was far from enough, as her opponent was Peak Dao Ancestor of the Nine Heavens.
This person infinitely elevated himself, then his body and spirit cracked, and he self-destructed in front of that giant hand.
"Old Ancestor!!"
At the Initial Land, a woman roared, her eyes red. It was the Ancestral Artifact that had protected her clan for countless years, and now, in order to save them and protect Jiang Ping, she chose to self-destruct.
Lu Zaohua was the same. He had been sealed away on the Moon Star for countless years and had only been revived for a few years. He should have been high above, looking down on the rise and fall of Xuanhuang, but he also resisted that figure in a suicidal way.
"I misjudged him back then!"
Those were Lu Zaohua's last words, as if blaming himself for his shortsightedness back then.
Jiang Ping raised his head, remaining silent. He recalled the times when this Ancestral Artifact had been so critical of him.
Rumble!!
The two Dao Ancestor self-destructed, preventing the giant hand from falling.
The Xuanhuang prodigies felt heavy-hearted. Their own king had just slain Dao Ancestor, and before they could even raise their spirits, two mythical beings had fallen in the blink of an eye.
Moreover, before the crowd could feel much grief, the shadow of death was already looming overhead.
Bang!!
A deafening explosion echoed across the sky, as a gigantic hand pierced through Myriad Dao.
It was terrifying. Even though the two Dao Ancestor self-destructed, they couldn't withstand it for long. It only provided a slight buffer before the energy that tore through the heavens poured down.
With a hum, Jiang Ping suddenly raised an eyebrow. An item in his Storage Ring suddenly roared, releasing a power beyond comprehension.
With a loud bang, his Storage Ring exploded, and the Gold Silk that had been Storage Ring dust inside it shone with a dazzling light.
At the same time, the sky was filled with brilliant light, like a golden ocean hanging high above the dome.
Clang!
The giant hand was finally stopped, producing a crisp, metallic sound. The aftershocks shook the heavens and earth, and the stars in the sky seemed to fall and go out as if an entire expanse of starlight had suddenly fallen.
His expression changed slightly as he gazed at the vast Golden Sea below, somewhat losing his composure.
"Peerless?!"
