Ten Daos Unleashed, Saint Blood Stained the Sky
On the other side, the Daoist aura of the Great Perfection Great Dao flowed around Dongfang Yueming, making him resemble a god-king who controlled all Daos.
"The Immortal Venerable First Layer is not enough!"
He glanced at the still enormous points balance on the panel.
"Over two hundred billion... that's enough for me to reach the top!"
"System, Point Allocation!"
[Ding! Consumed 2,700,000,000 Immortal Points, advanced to the Immortal Venerable Second Layer!]
[Ding! Consumed 2,700,000,000 Immortal Points, advanced to Immortal Venerable Third Layer!]
"Boom--!"
The [Seventh-Tier Origin Immortal Physique] within his body emitted a Lei Ming explosion under the onslaught of massive immortal power!
Every inch of flesh and blood contains earth-shattering power, and every drop of blood is like a rushing galaxy!
[Ding! 400,000,000 Immortal Points consumed, Level 4!][Ding! 400,000,000 Immortal Points consumed, Level 5!][Ding! 400,000,000 Immortal Points consumed, Level 6!]
The momentum was unstoppable!
[Ding! Consumed 6,000,000,000 Immortal Points, Seventh Level!][Ding! Consumed 6,000,000,000 Immortal Points, Eighth Level!][Ding! Consumed 6,000,000,000 Immortal Points, Ninth Level!]
His aura was as deep and unfathomable as an abyss or the ocean!
"The final step... Perfection!"
[Ding! Consumed 9,000,000,000 Immortal Points, advanced to the Perfected Immortal Venerable!]
"Buzz--!!!"
A terrifying aura, surpassing that of an ordinary Immortal Venerable, erupted from Dongfang Yueming's body!
Ten Great Dao resounded simultaneously!
Time, space, the five elements, thunder, power...
All laws bowed down at his feet at this moment!
"Call..."
Dongfang Yueming slowly opened his eyes, and deep within his pupils, it seemed as if the universe was being created and destroyed.
"Perfected Immortal Venerable..."
"Now, if I were to encounter that Junior Immortal Saint again, I wouldn't even need to fuse with the Great Dao; a single punch... would be enough to kill him!"
He stood up and gazed into the distant Xukong.
"Judging by the time, those old guys should be coming knocking on our door by now, right?"
"Perfect, let's settle both the old and new scores together!"
at the same time.
Hundreds of millions of miles away, in a desolate ruin.
The Eight Desolations Remnant Soul carefully maneuvered the battle halberd through the spatial turbulence.
"Phew... finally shaken them off."
He let out a long sigh of relief, somewhat smugly, "Those idiots, trying to catch me? In their next life!"
However.
Just as he was preparing to find a place to rest and recuperate.
"Buzz--!"
The Xukong ahead suddenly froze without warning!
Immediately afterwards, two terrifying figures, emanating an aura that sent shivers down his spine, slowly appeared!
Clad in a black robe, surrounded by the shadow of death— the Saint Venerable Anying!
Clad in a silver robe, he seemed to blend into the space itself— the Saint Venerable Xukong!
Two Intermediate Immortal Saint!
"Eight Desolations, it's been a long time."
The Saint Venerable Anying chuckled sinisterly, "I didn't expect you to still be alive?"
"Huh? Where's the inheritor?"
The Saint Venerable Xukong frowned, his Divine Sense sweeping across the surroundings, but he only discovered the Eight Desolations Remnant Soul.
"Are you the only one?"
The Eight Desolations Remnant Soul felt his heart pounding wildly, but he forced himself to remain calm and said, "Hmph! That brat ran away a long time ago! I don't even know where he is!"
"They ran away?"
The Saint Venerable Anying sneered, "It doesn't matter. Once I've captured you, do you think I'll be able to find him?"
"Do it!"
"Boom--!"
Two Intermediate Immortal Saint attacked simultaneously!
Five Great Dao Laws Unleashed Simultaneously!
Even if the Eight Desolations Remnant Soul fought with all its might, burning its essence and even activating an eighth-order immortal artifact to resist, it was still utterly powerless in the face of an absolute difference in strength!
Just three moves.
The Eight Desolations War Halberd was sent flying, and the remnant soul was firmly imprisoned!
"Tsk tsk, a dignified Eight Desolations Immortal Saint has fallen to such an end."
The Saint Venerable Anying held the wisp of remnant soul in his hand, his eyes filled with greed. "Although it's just a remnant soul, it was once the foundation of Half-Step Immortal Emperor... If I refine it, it might help me break through to the Advanced Immortal Saint!"
"What?!"
Upon hearing this, the Eight Desolations Remnant Soul was utterly filled with despair!
Amidst the Xukong void.
As soon as Dongfang Yueming left his secluded cultivation place, he encountered a patrol team.
Those were two Late-Stage Immortal Venerable experts dressed in black robes, exuding a chilling aura; they were clearly stewards of the Shadow Hall.
"Stop!"
One of them saw Dongfang Yueming and immediately shouted, "This is an operation in the Shadow Hall! Submit for questioning!"
Dongfang Yueming remained calm and did not resist, simply observing the two of them indifferently.
"Name? Background? Why are you here?"
As he asked the question, the man brazenly scanned Dongfang Yueming with his Divine Sense.
"Just a random cultivator passing by," Dongfang Yueming replied casually.
"A rogue cultivator?"
A flicker of suspicion crossed the man's eyes, but he didn't delve into it. Just moments before, he had received a message from above.
"Alright, let him go."
Another companion waved his hand impatiently, "We've received word from above that the Eight Desolations Old Ghost has been captured by the two Holy Venerables! They're preparing to take him back to the main hall for refining! Our mission is complete, let's hurry back and collect our reward!"
"What? They caught him?"
The man who had spoken earlier was overjoyed upon hearing this, but then a glint of greed flashed in his eyes.
He looked at Dongfang Yueming and chuckled sinisterly, "Leaving is fine, but... since this kid's showing up in a place like this, he's definitely not a good person. Perhaps... we should make him leave some toll?"
"Too."
Their companions didn't object; after all, they'd done this kind of petty theft quite often.
"Hey kid! Did you hear that?"
The man grinned maliciously as he approached, "Hand over your storage ring! Otherwise..."
"What else?"
Dongfang Yueming raised an eyebrow, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.
Through their conversation, he had roughly figured out the situation.
[The Eight Desolations Remnant Soul... it's been captured?!]
[And you even have to take it back to refine it?]
An unnamed rage welled up from the depths of his heart.
Although the old man could be quite long-winded at times, he had done him a great service after all.
"Or else... die!"
The Shadow Hall Immortal Venerable was furious when he saw that Dongfang Yueming dared to talk back. He raised his hand and unleashed a corrosive law!
However.
"You're the one who'll die."
Dongfang Yueming didn't even raise his hand.
[The Great Dao of Time: The Years Deprivation]!
"Buzz--!"
The Immortal Venerable felt a blur before his eyes, and then, to his horror, he discovered that his body was aging at a speed visible to the naked eye!
Lifespan is fading! Vitality is extinguished!
"No... what kind of sorcery is this?!"
Just a breath.
He went from a middle-aged man to a frail old man, and finally... turned into a handful of ashes!
Instant kill!
"What?!"
The remaining companion was completely dumbfounded!
[This... this is the Great Dao of Time?!]
[Could it be... he is...?]
Before he could react, a long, strong hand had already gripped his throat.
"Lead the way."
Dongfang Yueming's voice was like the coldest ice in the netherworld.
"Go... to save them."
"Snap!"
He casually snapped the other man's neck, imprisoned his Primordial Spirit, and with a flicker of his body, transformed into a streak of light, speeding towards the headquarters of the Shadow Hall!
In the Xukong, a pitch-black Ghost warship was speeding through the air.
On the warship, the Saint Venerable Anying and the Saint Venerable Xukong sat facing each other, drinking wine, looking quite content.
"Capturing the Eight Desolations Old Ghost this time is quite a great achievement."
The Saint Venerable Anying shook the Soul-Imprisoning Pearl in his hand, inside which was imprisoned the dejected Eight Desolations Remnant Soul.
"It's just a pity that the so-called 'successor' is still missing." The Saint Venerable Xukong said with some regret.
"Hmph! In my opinion, that old devil is probably just making things up!"
The Saint Venerable Anying scoffed, "Who could resist taking the inheritance of the Eight Great Dao? I bet that kid doesn't even exist, or he's already hiding in some corner with the treasure."
"Too..."
The Supreme Immortal Domain, the headquarters of the Shadow Hall.
The Shadow Hall and the Void God Hall Master, two Advanced Immortal Saint, also frowned slightly at this moment.
"The Eight Desolations were captured, but the inheritor vanished as if into thin air..."
"This doesn't make sense."
"Could it be... that the inheritor truly looks down on those eight Great Dao?"
"Impossible!" the Shadow Hall categorically denied. "Unless he's an idiot, or... he's already forged his own path and doesn't need anyone else's!"
"But such a prodigy... is extremely rare!"
On the Ghost warship.
Inside the Soul-Imprisoning Pearl, the Eight Desolations Remnant Soul watched the fleeting light outside, its heart filled with despair and... a trace of relief.
[Thank goodness... that kid didn't come.]
[Given his personality, if he were to come, he'd probably want to die with me.]
[Boy, you must live on... take my share with you...]
Just when he was feeling utterly hopeless!
"Boom--!!!"
A deafening roar erupted without warning in front of the warship!
The entire Ghost warship trembled violently, and its shields shattered instantly!
Who goes there?!
The Saint Venerable Anying and the Saint Venerable Xukong were shocked and rushed out of the cabin!
In the Xukong ahead, a figure in green robes stood with his hands behind his back, blocking their path.
"It's you?!"
The Eight Desolations Remnant Soul widened its eyes upon seeing that figure and cried out in surprise!
[He... how did he get here?!]
[Foolish boy! Run! Those are two Intermediate Immortal Saint!]
"Oh?"
The Saint Venerable Anying looked at Dongfang Yueming, a hint of surprise and... ecstasy flashing in his eyes!
"I've searched high and low without finding it! Turns out, you little Rat, you've actually delivered yourself right to my doorstep?!"
"Hahaha! This is truly heaven's help!"
The Saint Venerable Xukong sneered repeatedly, "A mere Immortal Venerable dares to block our path? He's courting death!"
Although they couldn't see through Dongfang Yueming's exact cultivation level, in their eyes, even Perfected Immortal Venerable was nothing more than an ant in front of two Intermediate Immortal Saint!
"Hand them over."
Dongfang Yueming's expression was indifferent, as if he were stating something that was perfectly natural.
"You?"
The Saint Venerable Anying laughed in fury, "You're asking for it! Since you're here, then stay here too!"
"Anying Devour!"
"Xukong Strangulation!"
Two Intermediate Immortal Saint attacked simultaneously!
The five laws of Great Dao of Darkness and the five laws of Great Dao of Space instantly intertwined to form a destructive net, which descended upon Dongfang Yueming!
This strike is enough to instantly kill Junior Immortal Saint!
However.
Dongfang Yueming simply sighed softly.
"It seems you still don't understand..."
"The gap between us."
"Boom--!!!"
He took a sudden step forward!
[Origin Immortal Physique) ] Fully Unlocked!
[Ten Great Dao (Perfection)] Emerge Simultaneously!
Metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, thunder, force, darkness... and, that supreme one—time!
Ten-colored divine light soared into the sky, transforming into ten towering Dharma Manifestation that instantly shattered the great net of laws!
"Wh... what?!"
The two holy beings were utterly horrified!
"Ten... ten Great Dao?!"
"And... the Great Dao of Time?!"
"How is this possible?!"
Before they could react, Dongfang Yueming had already moved.
There were no fancy tricks, just a simple punch!
[Ten Paths Unite as One, All Laws Return to Nothingness]!
"Bang!"
The protective immortal light and Immortal Immortal Body of the Saint Venerable Anying shattered instantly under this punch! He was directly reduced to a cloud of blood mist!
"No--!"
The Saint Venerable Xukong was so frightened that he turned to flee into the Xukong!
"Certainly!"
Dongfang Yueming pointed out.
[Time Stands Still]!
The Saint Venerable Xukong's figure froze in mid-air, still in his fleeing posture, his eyes filled with fear and despair.
"Die."
Dongfang Yueming casually waved his hand.
"Pfft!"
The Saint Venerable Xukong, his body and head separated!
Two mid- Intermediate Immortal Saint vanished into thin air in the blink of an eye!
The entire hall was deathly silent!
Only the Eight Desolations Remnant Soul, inside the Soul-Imprisoning Pearl, gaped open, unable to close their mouths for a long time.
[This... this is... my successor?!]
