Avatar Battles Black Scale Dao Lord
A flying boat was moving forward within the Tian Cang Domain, at a relatively slow speed.
Millions of miles behind the flying boat, Zhou Zheng followed slowly while pondering the "Endless Domain" technique. Around him, spacetime was constantly being created and compressed, like a layered cake.
Layer upon layer, the endless expanse of time and space imbued everything around Zhou Zheng with terrifying pressure.
Suddenly, Zhou Zheng had a slight thought, and layers of spacetime appeared, like a giant egg, enveloping Zhou Zheng within them.
"If this move could be infused with some powerful treasures, its power would increase dramatically!" Zhou Zheng thought to himself. Of course, even though there were no treasures available now, the power of this move, "Endless Domain," still increased instantly.
The final move of the Five Scrolls of Space-Time, "Endless Domain," ultimately becomes the Strongest Dao.
"' Annihilation of Space-Time ' represents Destruction, ' Endless Domain ' represents rebirth, ' Space-Time Shuttle ' represents travel, ' Myriad Shadow Illusory Body ' represents transformation, and ' Infinite Body ' represents infinity. The five major paths of the Space-Time Origin I previously pondered have all reached the Strongest Dao level." Zhou Zheng thinking to himself when suddenly, a thought struck him.
Countless insights welled up in my mind.
The five routes are like five puzzle pieces. It is difficult to put them together when the pieces are incomplete, but it is easy to put them together once the pieces are complete.
You could even say it was a natural progression!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
An invisible Power of Space-Time flowed around Zhou Zheng, and the five Strongest Dao merged together in the blink of an eye.
"It's done! This means I'm on the right track!" Zhou Zheng felt a surge of joy.
Combining multiple Strongest Dao into a Strongest Dao fusion is extremely difficult. If the puzzle pieces are incomplete, it means that you have to put a lot of thought into considering all the possible combinations.
The fact that Zhou Zheng's combination was so natural means that the five Strongest Dao he had walked were enough to represent all directions of the Space-Time Origin. Of course, this also meant that Zhou Zheng was qualified to further comprehend the Ultimate Dao.
"The fusion of the five Strongest Dao provides attack, defense, movement, and survival. On the surface, it seems perfect, but in reality, fusion is just fusion, not a complete whole!" Zhou Zheng was not an ordinary World Realm Perfection. He immediately discovered the flaw in fusion of the five Strongest Dao and began to ponder it.
The Ultimate Space-Time Dao should be a complete whole; mere fusion is not enough.
The combination of the five Dao of Space-Time in the Five Scrolls of Space-Time and Space did not significantly increase Zhou Zheng's upper limit of strength, since he had already comprehended and fused the two Strongest Dao Sword Dao a long time ago.
Both are the Strongest Dao of fusion. There is a difference between fusion of two paths and fusion of five paths, but the difference is not significant and is far from reaching the level of qualitative change.
Of course, although it didn't significantly increase the upper limit of strength, Zhou Zheng's methods were instantly perfected.
It has everything: attack, defense, and survival.
It is precisely for this reason that Zhou Zheng feels more confident about the upcoming arrival of the Black Scale Dao Lord.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, half a year Past.
On this day, the Avatar created by Zhou Zheng using "Myriad Shadow Illusory Body" remained quietly inside the flying boat, as if nothing had happened.
Suddenly, a colossal black hand appeared in the Chaos, sweeping out and grabbing at the flying boat that was traveling through it.
In an instant, Zhou Zheng's figure left the flying boat, and almost simultaneously, a Sword Light suddenly burst forth, heading straight for the black giant hand.
This sword strike was both fast and fierce, containing the power to Space-Time Annihilation, and it severed the giant hand in an instant.
"Black Scale Dao Lord, I've been waiting for you for a long time!" Zhou Zheng's laughter rang out.
"Um?"
A somewhat surprised voice came, and the next moment, Dao Lord covered in black scales and dressed in a black robe appeared in front of Zhou Zheng.
"World Realm!"
Black Scale Dao Lord was shocked. Although he had only made a casual move, its power was beyond that of an ordinary Dao Lord. It was actually broken by a World Realm cultivator.
"He has stepped out of the World Realm of the Strongest Dao, and may even be stronger!" Black Scale Dao Lord looked at Zhou Zheng, slightly shocked. Such a genius was extremely rare even in the Dao Alliance, and he had only seen him a few times.
Of course, after a moment's thought, Black Scale Dao Lord understood everything instantly. The Chaos Immortal who sent him the message had probably been exposed and directly revealed by this person, and his purpose was also known to the other party.
"Unexpectedly, besides Dao Lord Bei Ming Heavenly Cang Palace has other geniuses!" Black Scale Dao Lord narrowed his eyes and said to Zhou Zheng:
"It's a pity you're not very bright; knowing I was coming, you still dared to stay here!"
"Why wouldn't I dare? Just because you're Black Scale Dao Lord?" Zhou Zheng didn't rush to say he wasn't a member of the Heavenly Cang Palace. Under these circumstances, even if he said he was Black Scale Dao Lord, he probably wouldn't believe him. So, after calmly saying that, Zhou Zheng then asked indifferently:
"You came to ambush me because of the Da Mo Domain, right?"
"Heh, you know quite a lot!" Black Scale Dao Lord sneered, while also keeping a watchful eye on his surroundings.
Since the World Realm knew he was coming and was still waiting in the same spot, one possibility is that he was arrogant. Another possibility is that there happened to be Dao Lord from the Heavenly Cang Palace nearby, so he came to ambush him in advance.
"I know more than you do!" Zhou Zheng said meaningfully.
It's pretty much confirmed that the Heavenly Cang Palace was targeted because of the emergence of the Dongming Jade Talisman.
Otherwise, given the vast distance between the Tian Cang Domain and the Da Mo Domain, how could Black Scale Dao Lord have immediately understood upon mentioning the Da Mo Domain?
Of course, if Zhou Zheng had directly mentioned "Dongming Jade Talisman," the effect might have been better, but that would have been risky.
The emergence of the Dongming Jade Talisman was, after all, just Zhou Zheng's guess. If the Dongming Jade Talisman hadn't actually appeared yet, and he had "predicted" it in advance, that would be terrible. If the Dongming Jade Talisman really did appear in the future, he would likely be targeted.
Although Zhou Zheng was confident that he would make rapid progress with his previous cultivation, he had not yet matured and his ability to withstand risks was not high. Therefore, it was natural to be cautious.
Black Scale Dao Lord chatted with Zhou Zheng for a bit, one probing whether there were any ambushes around, and the other probing the reason for targeting the Heavenly Cang Palace.
Soon, Black Scale Dao Lord could no longer restrain himself and suddenly attacked Zhou Zheng.
Brush!
Black Scale Dao Lord suddenly erupted, arriving in front of Zhou Zheng in an instant. His claws, covered in black scales, instantly grabbed at Zhou Zheng's shoulder.
Call!
Zhou Zheng barely managed to turn around and dodge, and in that instant, Zhou Zheng deduced that Black Scale Dao Lord's strength was not speed. His speed mostly came from the power of Three-step Dao Lord. The Dao certainly provided some enhancement, but it wasn't significant.
The reason is simple: Zhou Zheng's Avatar previously only possessed 10% of his Original Body strength. After fusing his five Strongest Dao, the Avatar's strength increased to about 15%.
The Avatar itself is formed by the mystery of "Dao". Not only is its power weak, but the power of Dao triggered by the same moves is also weak. Not to mention, the Avatar's weapon is also inferior to the Original Body, which weakens it even further.
Overall, this Avatar is barely at the level of Two-step Dao Lord.
Even so, he was able to dodge Black Scale Dao Lord's attacks, which shows that the opponent was not fast.
However, a Dao Lord's methods are obviously not limited to this. Once one move was dodged, hundreds or thousands of moves followed.
Black Scale Dao Lord clearly wanted to capture Zhou Zheng alive, so he was somewhat hesitant in his actions, and Zhou Zheng took this opportunity to test the other party's trump cards.
After exchanging dozens of blows, Black Scale Dao Lord soon grew impatient.
"As a World Realm, your strength is already quite good, but unfortunately, you are still far inferior to me!" Suddenly, two kinds of ripples, one of ice and one of fire, appeared around Black Scale Dao Lord.
As the ripples spread, Zhou Zheng instantly felt a heavy pressure.
"Such a powerful domain!"
Zhou Zheng tried to support the "Endless Domain", but Avatar used this move, the power was less than one-sixth of what it should be. As soon as the Endless Domain appeared, it was instantly suppressed by the Black Scale Dao Lord's domain.
"Haha, surrender now!"
Black Scale Dao Lord sneered. This time, Zhou Zheng did not hold out for long and was captured by Black Scale Dao Lord in the blink of an eye.
However, when Black Scale Dao Lord tried to seal Zhou Zheng's Divine Power, he finally realized something was wrong.
"Avatar?"
Black Scale Dao Lord's face was grim.
"It seems that your methods are limited to this!" A voice suddenly rang out, and it seemed to have countless echoes, turning into millions of sounds in an instant, reverberating in this Void.
Black Scale Dao Lord looked up and suddenly realized that he was surrounded, with tens of thousands of Zhou Zheng appearing around him.
"Is this the Strongest Dao?"
Black Scale Dao Lord's expression darkened slightly as an immense pressure swept over him.
