Chapter 320
Upon hearing this, the Daoist Siming remained unmoved.
"What? Are you unwilling to die for the sake of all living beings?"
421. Your death will bring peace to the world!
The Daoist Siming sighed, "You, Princess, know best the suffering of all living beings! If you are unwilling to sacrifice yourself for the sake of all, then don't blame me for being impolite!"
After saying this, the Daoist Siming strode forward, his body radiating billions of rays of light. Each ray of light contained terrifying power, as if all the calamities in the world paled in comparison to him.
Rumble!
The void shattered.
The sky collapsed and the earth cracked.
The entire mountain range collapsed completely, and boundless dust filled the air.
This terrifying impact quickly spread outwards, reaching even wider areas in eastern Pole.
"The South, the Southern Border, something's happened in the Southern Border!"
"What happened in the Southern Border, Princess Xiao's hometown?"
"There's a battle taking place in the Southern Border, and one of the auras... is that of a Supreme Being!"
In the same world.
Countless gazes seemed to pierce through the endless void, landing on Mount Siming in the Southern Border.
Daoist Siming stepped into the heavens, his supreme power was fully displayed, causing the world to change color and the wind and clouds to swirl. It seemed that even the great Daos of heaven and earth submitted to this pressure.
"Princess Xiao, I'm giving you one last chance. Surrender now, and I guarantee that your relatives and friends will not suffer any harm. What do you say?"
His only response was a dazzling beam of sword light!
Sizzle!
A massive chasm suddenly appeared beneath the feet of the Daoist Siming, the crisscrossing sword marks seemingly cleaving his feet in two, leaving a shocking and chilling scar!
Holding a sword formed from the convergence of stars, Xiao Minghuang stood tall in the sky, his gaze indifferent and peaceful, unmoved by any words.
She was prepared to fight, simply to survive.
"Since you are so stubborn, then you can't blame me!"
The Daoist Siming slowly raised his head, a glint of light flashing in his eyes. Then, he formed a hand seal, and the radiance around him intensified, converging in his palms to transform into a huge golden seal.
The gold seal exudes an ancient, profound, and timeless aura, as if it has existed for countless years and has endured through the ages.
"True Martial Seal Technique! Suppress!"
Daoist Siming a soft shout, the great seal in his hand broke free from his control and pressed down on Xiao Minghuang.
In an instant, the whole world turned dark, the sun and moon lost their color, as if a celestial body had fallen from the heavens to crush and destroy the entire earth!
"True Martial Seal Technique... Kunlun, I want to see just how you and the True Martial Earth Immortal behind you really are!"
A glint flashed before Xiao Minghuang's eyes, and endless Power of Stars converged, flowing from her entire body to her right hand, all condensing onto the longsword in her hand.
"Chaos Bead! Attached!"
With a soft shout, she flicked her wrist and summoned the Chaos Bead, merging it into the sword in her hand. This caused the longsword to be shrouded in a layer of primordial purple mist, making it appear even more mysterious and vast.
"Primordial Beginning, Myriad Transformations Renewed! Slay!"
As Xiao Minghuang unleashed his sword strike, a glimmer of starlight appeared at the tip of the blade, as if opening up a new world and tearing a thousand-foot-long rift in the entire universe.
That single point of starlight, as dazzling as a star, carried unparalleled sharpness as it slashed towards the massive seal that was pressing down upon them.
This collision was simple and brutal, yet it contained astonishing power.
Click!
In an instant, the two collided, and cracks appeared between the sword light and the True Martial Seal Technique, spreading in all directions like a spider web.
In an instant, the void vanished, the Great Dao turned, and everything cycled between destruction and birth.
Finally, with a crisp sound, the sword beam that stretched for thousands of feet suddenly shattered, transforming into a sky full of starlight.
The great seal cracked inch by inch, eventually transforming into a shower of light that vanished into the world.
Xiao Minghuang's pretty face changed slightly, and she quickly withdrew and retreated.
"Hmph, it actually blocked it?" The Daoist Siming frowned, revealing a hint of surprise.
The True Martial Seal Technique he just used was personally taught by the True Martial Earth Immortal. It is a divine power that is infinitely close to Immortal Method. In the past, he had never failed against any supreme being. But today, he was helpless against a mere Saint Realm cultivator?
The sky was filled with dust, and turbulent void currents were everywhere; the Great Dao was rapidly being reorganized.
Amidst this chaos, a point of purple light suddenly flashed, breaking through all obstacles and heading straight for the face of the Daoist Siming. It was none other than the Chaos Bead activated by Xiao Minghuang!
"They even had a backup plan!"
In the blink of an eye, before he could form any hand seals, the Daoist Siming threw out his whisk, which transformed into countless threads that coiled around the Chaos Bead.
The whisk vibrated, instantly sending out a ring of ripples.
The Chaos Bead was blocked and bounced back.
Xiao Minghuang retrieved the Chaos Bead, immediately feeling a surge of pressure.
"It's still lacking something."
He murmured to himself, his heart heavy.
She was well aware that there was a considerable distance between herself and the Supreme Being.
Even though she had cultivated the classics of immortal cultivation, possessed an immortal divine power, and had the Chaos Bead, a rare treasure from all heavens, she still had no chance of winning against a supreme being at the height of his power.
When the Daoist Siming clashed head-on with the Chaos Bead, it was far from as easy as it seemed.
The Chaos Bead is no ordinary Chaos Rare Treasure; it represents the origin of a world. In addition to its powerful defensive capabilities, it also possesses the ability to bear and encompass everything. This ability is even more powerful than the Great Dao of Earth, which is said to bear all things in the world.
Within the Chaos Bead lies an unexplored time. It would be quite remarkable if the mere whisk in the hand of the Daoist Siming could withstand a single blow from the Chaos Bead.
This was largely thanks to Xiao Minghuang's control over the Chaos Bead, which was not yet at a state of perfection, nor did he personally create a world within the Chaos Bead. Otherwise, the power struggle within a single world would have been unbearable for the Daoist Siming.
Xiao Minghuang was not very clear about this.
But as a supreme being, the Daoist Siming had lived for far too long and naturally understood this better; his expression darkened considerably.
"Do you think you can defeat me with just a rare treasure from the heavens? Today, you are destined to perish here; this is fate!"
The Daoist Siming's gaze was cold and his killing intent was chilling.
"Who do you think you are, daring to claim to be the will of Heaven!"
Xiao Minghuang said coldly.
"Heh heh, you're about to die, and you're still being stubborn. This humble Daoist priest will send you on your way!"
The words had barely left his mouth.
"Power of All Beings come quickly to my aid!"
He took a deep breath, tilted his head back and roared. His roar was like a dragon's cry, and the rolling sound waves swept in all directions, shaking the heavens.
The Path of Incense and Sacrifice was not taught by the True Martial Earth Immortal, but rather he obtained an ancient book by chance. Based on the records in the book, he comprehended it on his own, drawing inferences from similar cases, and thus achieved immortality through this method. This was his method of fame and also his masterpiece.
This method can gather the power of belief between heaven and earth, and transform it for one's own use; its power is unfathomable.
422. The Power of All Beings
Rumble~
As the Daoist Siming shouted, the entire Southern Border, and countless beings who had once worshipped Daoist Siming, all trembled in their hearts, as if drawn by some invisible force.
Whatever they were doing at that moment, they all knelt down at the same time, facing the direction of the Daoist Siming, and prayed.
The vast majority of them were ordinary people, but there were also some cultivators, including those at higher levels such as the Spirit Transformation, King, and even Saint, who were all followers of the Daoist Siming.
They all offered no resistance, were obedient and compliant, and did so willingly.
"I am willing to offer three drops of my heart's blood, so that the Daoist Lord may enjoy eternal bliss and live as long as the heavens!"
"I am willing to dedicate the rest of my life..."
"I am willing to dedicate my entire life to cultivation..."
"I am willing to dedicate my wife, children, and elderly parents to this cause..."
Those sincere chants came from an unknown distance in the sky, filling the entire firmament and sending chills down Xiao Minghuang.
"The Power of All Beings? The Path of Incense and Sacrifice? How can it be so mysterious, making people willingly give up everything?"
Her delicate brows furrowed, a strange and incomprehensible feeling creeping over her.
We are born as human beings, so why should we live for others?
However, this bizarre thing actually happened right before her eyes.
Although these powers of faith are only a small fraction, like a light drizzle, their quantity is so vast that it amounts to trillions.
In an instant, billions of living beings prayed, clouds surged from all directions, and wave after wave of faith surged like a tide, entering the body of the Daoist Siming.
Suddenly, beams of light appeared above the head of the Daoist Siming, each one incredibly thick, piercing through heaven and earth and soaring into the clouds.
In an instant, the figure of the Daoist Siming was enveloped in these pillars of light, as if bathed in divine light.
His aura surged again, rising steadily, and a faint, invisible light flickered within his chest, only to vanish in an instant.
"Oh, what a pity!"
Upon noticing this, the Daoist Siming felt a pang of disappointment.
He had tried countless times, and no matter how much Power of All Beings he gathered, he could never grasp that fleeting Immortal Qi.
At least there's still some hope.
It came together with the collective Power of All Beings.
Within those pillars of light, countless runes could be faintly seen surging and converging to form a gigantic pattern.
It was a magnificent palace.
It has nine floors in total, standing tall between heaven and earth like a pillar supporting the sky.
"Is this the divine power condensed from the Path of Incense and Sacrifice?"
Xiao Minghuang narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly.
At this moment, she also exuded an incomparably powerful aura.
The void around her cracked inch by inch, spreading out like a spider web, as if it were about to collapse completely at any moment.
A vast, boundless starry sky appeared behind her, with countless stars surrounding her, dazzling and intricate, their trajectories intertwining to create a magnificent and boundless galaxy.
In the sea of stars, there are two ancient stars, emitting a pale golden glow, as if guarded by the Sun, Moon, and Stars, exuding a magnificent and awe-inspiring aura.
Boom boom boom!
The two forces clashed and clashed violently, devouring each other, and terrifying spatial storms raged, shattering the surrounding void.
"Since all beings share this desire, why must the princess remain so stubborn? Wouldn't it be better to end this life and have her story sung for posterity?"
The Daoist Siming sighed and slowly shook his head.
He sat atop the nine-tiered palace, like a god looking down upon heaven and earth. His aura grew ever more profound, and mysterious runes appeared on his skin. These were the condensation of the Power of All Beings, elevating him to an unimaginable height.
Xiao Minghuang simply ignored the words of the Daoist Siming.
Throughout her journey, she sought neither from Heaven nor from Earth, but rather from all living beings. The Daoist Siming, relying on the hatred of all living beings towards her, has truly made a mistake.
Xiao Minghuang's eyes were filled with determination.
