With a single slash, he cut away a portion of the Heavenly Dao. At that moment, Wu Pifu vaguely sensed something extraordinarily strange.
It was the sensation of bringing power to its absolute limit.
This differed from the sense of limits along the transcendental paths. For example, the current limit of National Arts was Seeing God Without Destruction. Wu Pifu had already reached a point beyond which he could not advance.
Yet beneath that slash, what he felt was the sensation of touching some critical threshold at the instant the blade struck.
As always, it was profoundly mysterious. He could not describe it accurately, and perhaps he would not even be able to unleash that slash again. That strike had truly been an accidental masterpiece at the peak of his ability, combining himself, Chu Minghao, Liang Min, the three Superbrains, the Red Wolf title, and a flash of inspiration.
For no reason at all, three words suddenly sprang into Wu Pifu's mind after that slash.
Realm of Extremity!
A massive chunk fell from the Heavenly Dao. Its essence was formless and intangible, invisible and untouchable, but when it was cut from the Heavenly Dao's essence, every Ascendant Body present went mad. Those with reason could still force themselves to endure, but the dozen or so colossal beast Ascendant Bodies on the scene roared as they lunged toward where the Heavenly Dao fragment had fallen.
The Primordial Heavenly Dao and the Mountains-and-Seas Heavenly Dao both paused briefly, as though sentient beings had suddenly encountered something utterly incomprehensible and their thoughts had stalled. But when the beasts roared and pounced toward the Heavenly Dao fragment, the two great Heavenly Daos reacted violently at once. Lightning, gales, flames, and frost surged from each side, though these were merely outward manifestations of root-level power.
