Chapter 544 -472: [Steamroll, Group Fight!]
“Next.”
“Next.”
“Next.”
“Your Divine Techniques are powerless, your Taoist Techniques are feeble, and your Physique is as weak as a chicken’s. And you think you’re worthy of facing me on this stage?”
…
The arenas of the Seven Celestial Passes!
An indifferent, cold voice rang out relentlessly.
Below the stage, there was dead silence.
Everyone was stunned numb by the one-sided slaughter!
The Primordial Army Master and the Wu Clan had emerged from seclusion with overwhelming force, ascending the arenas from the first to the Seventh Celestial Pass. They slaughtered until the Four Great Primordial Clans of Mountain and Sea were terrified, and until the Celestial Prides of the All Heavens at the Seven Celestial Passes could only look up and sigh!
It was all too surreal.
Many felt as though they were dreaming.
「A short while ago.」
The Defenders of the Seven Celestial Passes had been pushed to despair by the Four Great Primordial Clans of Mountain and Sea. They could basically only use their own lives, self-detonating to halt their advance!
The Little Martial Ancestor and the other top-tier combatants…
…had fought until they had nothing left, even injuring their Original Dao Foundations, yet they still couldn’t stop the advance of Mountain and Sea.
But now…
The situation had completely reversed!
The Primordial Army Master and the people of the Wu Clan were sweeping across the arenas, and Mountain and Sea had begun sacrificing the lives of Desolate Gods just to slow them down!
“The gap is too wide…”
「The Fourth Celestial Pass.」
Wuchen had already recovered to his peak state. Watching Wu Ping on the stage swatting his opponents dead like ants, he felt a profound sense of powerlessness.
They were both at the Saint Master Peak.
This Wu Ping, from the so-called Wu Clan—in reality, one of the Master’s minions—was utterly dominant, as if he were killing chickens and butchering dogs!
Oh, wait.
Killing chickens and butchering dogs still takes some effort.
This was fucking squashing ants!
‘Is he really at the Saint Master Peak?’
‘Or are the Four Great Primordial Clans of Mountain and Sea sending fakes?’
‘I’m just deceiving myself…’
Wuchen’s clenched fists loosened powerlessly.
If he were to face this Wu Ping without using his trump cards, he’d be lucky to survive a single move!
‘The future…’
‘Do I really stand a chance?’
Faced with such a massive gap…
Wuchen fell into deep self-doubt.
…
「The Seventh Celestial Pass.」
On the arena stage, which was constantly pushing forward.
“ROAR!!”
A Taotie with a mouth like a cosmic black hole.
The moment it took the stage, it began to burn everything it had, lunging at Wu Dao. Its momentum clearly showed it intended to self-detonate in a suicidal attack, hoping to take him down with it.
A pity.
The fish would die, but the net would not break!
SHING—
The sound of a Celestial Sword being unsheathed rang out.
Wu Dao formed a sword with two fingers. Endless Tribulation Qi surged from their tips—Three Calamities and Nine Hardships, the Five Decays of a Celestial Being… the Nine Tribulations and Nine Swords, all manners of calamity, were contained within this two-fingered sword!
“The Nine Tribulation Celestial Soldiers?!!”
Below the stage.
A Celestial Pride from the same lineage as the Nine Tribulations Sword Master recognized Wu Dao’s finger-sword Divine Technique, but his brows furrowed deeply, because it was similar yet different!
The Nine Tribulation Celestial Soldiers that Wu Dao unleashed…
…didn’t seem like they came from a Cultivator. Instead, they seemed to be drawn from the very source of this member of the Ten Great Supreme Divine Techniques. The imagery was purer than even that of its Cultivation Technique Creator!
SHRRRIP—
On the stage.
The Nine Tribulations Celestial Sword flared nine times.
It transformed into a torrent of Tribulation Qi that would be the death of all existence.
It plowed through and tore apart all kinds of Great Divine Techniques.
With a single sword strike, it brutally cleaved the Peak Quasi-Ancestor King Taotie that was about to self-detonate into nothing but tribulation ash!
“Next.”
Bathed in the great fortune of his civilization, Wu Dao retracted his finger-sword and flashed a sunny smile toward the silent camp of the Four Great Primordial Clans of Mountain and Sea.
On the Hongyuan side.
Whether soldiers or Celestial Prides, everyone below the stage was completely numb.
Shen Lian, the Commander of the Law Enforcement Team…
…watched Wu Dao fighting with the ease of a leisurely stroll and gave him the highest praise:
“Even ‘All Heavens Venerable’ isn’t enough to describe him. This is a truly invincible existence within the same realm!”
All Heavens Venerable!
Within Hongyuan, there is the All Heavens Stele.
It judges the achievements of Celestial Prides across the realms of the All Heavens. One who reaches the peak of a realm can be called an All Heavens Venerable.
But now…
Shen Lian had concluded…
…that the so-called All Heavens Venerables…
…weren’t even worthy of carrying Wu Dao’s shoes. He had truly reached the realm of invincibility in the Quasi-Emperor sequence and could be called invincible.
“Invincible? He deserves the title!”
Nearby.
The Little Martial Ancestor, who had recovered after receiving treatment, was also watching the battle. He felt no jealousy or doubt, only a sigh in recognition of his own inferiority.
“…”
The Celestial Prides of the All Heavens, however, were silent, sighing to themselves.
Among them…
…many were or had once been the All Heavens Venerables of a single realm that Shen Lian spoke of.
But after arriving at Shanhai Pass…
…they finally understood that their meager achievements weren’t even enough to get them to the top of the Emperor’s List, let alone compare to the Primordial Army Master before them.
An invincible being acknowledged by the Great Emperor himself!
“His Dao… he has walked too far along it.”
The Little Martial Ancestor watched the battle, all the while measuring the gap between himself and Wu Dao.
Since Wu Dao had taken the stage…
…there had been no flashy Taoist Magic and Divine Techniques.
Every move, every punch, every palm strike…
…his Taoist Magic and Divine Techniques were perfectly natural.
Their killing power was utterly terrifying!
‘This is definitely the level one reaches after forging Ten Thousand Techniques into one, and then walking one’s own Dao!’
In such a way—
When my Dao appears, all other Daos bow in deference!
This point…
…was evident from the fact that since Wu Dao had taken the stage, all the Divine Techniques he used were from the Ten Great Supreme Divine Techniques or the Seventy-two Heavenly Great Divine Techniques.
Beyond that…
…there were also many top-tier Great Emperor’s Ultimate Skills!
“The Ten Great Supreme Divine Techniques, the Seventy-two Heavenly Great Divine Techniques, and so many Great Emperor’s Ultimate Skills, all mastered and integrated… He’s a true monster!”
Shen Lian heard the Little Martial Ancestor’s assessment.
He too nodded in admiration.
As for where Wu Dao had learned these Divine Techniques and Taoist Techniques, he didn’t give it much thought, because every top Celestial Pride had their own secrets.
Not to mention…
…an invincible being like Wu Dao.
He was destined to become a Celestial Pillar of Shanhai Pass!
As long as he didn’t betray Hongyuan and cross the bottom line, Shanhai Pass could tolerate everything about his past.
What Shen Lian and the Little Martial Ancestor didn’t know…
…was that what they were seeing…
…was just the tip of the iceberg, something Wu Dao was willing to show them without exposing too much.
‘Great Divine Techniques, Strongest Divine Techniques, Emperor Techniques?’
‘Forging Ten Thousand Techniques into one?’
‘To me, they’re nothing.’
Others practice Cultivation from the bottom up.
He forges the Great Dao from the top down!
His body is like the Great Dao; his Taoist Techniques are born of nature!
Any Divine Technique he casually creates…
…if a being beneath the Dao were to comprehend it, it would be a Supreme Dao Scripture that could lead them to the Dao, a heaven-defying Creation!
“Primordial Army Master, all hail!!”
“Invincible!!”
“Mountain and Sea is powerless! An ant trying to shake a tree!”
A wave of impassioned, blood-boiling shouts suddenly erupted from below the arena. It turned out that after he had slain the Taotie, not a single Desolate God from the Mountain and Sea side dared to take the stage!
In that moment…
The prestige of the Primordial Army Master soared to its peak!
‘I suppose this counts as forging a Golden Body.’
Wu Dao listened to the cheers from below, a slight smile playing on his lips. He figured this crowd could never imagine that the invincible one they so revered…
…was the mastermind behind the Primordial Sect.
He was also the Demon King who blew up the Burial Realm, the Divine Desolate Tribulation Demon who had drained the All Heavens Lord!
In a time of crisis…
…he had turned the tide when all seemed lost!
With the Golden Body forged from this merit alone…
…and the potential he had displayed…
…when he ascends to the more complex Eighth and Ninth Celestial Passes in the future, as long as he doesn’t do something stupid and expose himself…
…even if he were to cause a world-ending calamity!
…Hongyuan’s major military factions and the Commander’s Law Enforcement Team would absolutely ensure his safety!
“If you won’t come to me, I’ll have to come to you.”
Seeing that no Desolate God had taken the stage after a moment…
Wu Dao scoffed, then, bearing the destiny of Hongyuan’s Great Dao, he pushed the World Fate Arena, which represented the territory of this region, and advanced toward Mountain and Sea!
This was the World Fate Arena.
If one was defeated or didn’t dare to take the stage to fight…
…the price was having one’s own world fate and territory devoured and occupied by the enemy!
A single region.
Its territory was immense.
The vast Primordial Battlefield where Wu Dao was currently stationed was just a small section of one such region!
And in the twenty-five days since the war began…
…this arena, thanks to the Little Martial Ancestor’s stubborn refusal to fall, had already reclaimed five territories that Hongyuan had previously lost!
After Wu Dao took the stage…
…it was instant kill after instant kill!
He was even faster!
In a short time, he had reclaimed another five territories. Adding that to the battle results of the ‘Wu Clan,’ it dealt a heavy blow to Mountain and Sea!
Correspondingly…
…the battle merits and civilizational fortune Wu Dao received were also increasing wildly. His future progress in strength wouldn’t be much slower than it was during his time as a Quasi-Emperor!
“He’s approaching the Mountain and Sea fortress!”
“I see! Mountain and Sea wants to gang up on him!”
“Primordial Army Master, be careful!”
But as Wu Dao advanced unimpeded toward the Mountain and Sea border fortress at the Seventh Celestial Pass, the spectators below the stage cried out in warning.
The World Fate Arena.
Its rules were set by the Great Daos of the two worlds.
If one side pushed to the enemy’s border, it would trigger the emergency protocols of the enemy’s Great Dao, changing the rules from one-on-one duels to a group battle.
The last time…
…Mountain and Sea pushed to the border of the Seventh Celestial Pass…
…the Hongyuan side had to sacrifice a huge number of lives to intercept them, finally halting the advance of the Mountain and Sea Celestial Prides.
This time…
…although it was the same in most places…
…a small group, Wu Dao and the Wu Clan, had appeared. They had pushed back to the Mountain and Sea border, forcing Mountain and Sea to use lives to stop them!
Due to the chain reaction…
…the pressure on the other Great Wall Arena sectors would also be greatly reduced. Unless Mountain and Sea allowed Wu Dao to sweep through unopposed, they would definitely have to send reinforcements.
‘Heh, if ganging up on someone worked, why would anyone still seek the Dao?’
But Wu Dao was completely unfazed by this.
Within the same realm, he *was* the Dao!
Without external interference…
…he would kill as many as came!
…
「Meanwhile.」
Within the Mountain and Sea Camp.
The Ancestral Kings of the Four Great Primordial Races were also urgently discussing how to deal with Wu Dao.
“We can’t send any more Little Ancestors.”
“That’s right. That monster’s Physique is too heaven-defying, and the Wu Clan is full of freaks too. Sending Little Ancestors up there will only be a waste of our own foundation.”
“So you mean…”
“Hmph, for the sake of the bigger picture, it is an honor to die in battle. It’s not up to them!”
After a brief discussion…
…the Four Great Primordial Races came up with a countermeasure for Wu Dao and the Wu Clan.
Since external forces couldn’t interfere…
…they would use the lives of the lower-ranked Celestial Prides from the Desolate God Race to intercept him!
Since the war began…
…all who had died were the Little Ancestors of the Four Great Primordial Races.
They had been benevolent enough. Now it was time for those from the Emperor Clans and Imperial Races to make a sacrifice.
They were also at the Absolute Peak of the Quasi-Emperor realm.
Even if the Primordial Heavenly King and the Wu Clan killed quickly, it would still take time.
For the future of their civilization…
…being a little ruthless was nothing at all!
And so…
…as Wu Dao pushed forward to the Mountain and Sea border.
“KILL!!”
“For Mountain and Sea!”
“One of me may die, but millions more will take my place! Primordial Army Master, don’t even think about advancing!”
“Three Thousand Killing Emperor Array!!”
Dragon roars and tiger howls, Kunpengs and Phoenixes!
A massive number of Peak Quasi-Ancestor Kings from the Mountain and Sea Emperor Clan swarmed out from the Mountain and Sea Camp!
They were a squadron of Death Warriors!
Before even taking the stage, they had already activated various life-risking Forbidden Techniques to skyrocket their combat power. After ascending, they formed the Mountain and Sea Emperor Slaying Array and enveloped Wu Dao.
“Playing this rough?”
Wu Dao reached out and unleashed an enhanced version of the Great Silence of All Heavens. In the silent void, all manner of magnetic particles ground away at the oppressive, crimson Emperor Slaying Array.
He couldn’t help but frown slightly.
He hadn’t expected to have pushed Mountain and Sea this far, to the point where they would dispatch a massive number of Peak Quasi-Ancestor Kings from the Emperor Clan to stop him like a suicide squad.
It was a little troublesome.
This Three Thousand Killing Emperor Array, formed by so many Peak Quasi-Ancestor Kings from the Emperor Clan, definitely couldn’t kill an Infinite Emperor. But the Mighty Power they unleashed when combined far surpassed that of an Extreme Quasi-Emperor.
But it was merely a little troublesome, nothing more.
‘Playing with domains against me?’
‘It’s like showing off an axe before the master craftsman Lu Ban!’
BUZZ!
The Three Thousand Killing Emperor Array rolled forward oppressively.
Wu Dao reached out one hand.
In the void, the originally silent Dao Particles began to boil and vibrate rapidly, tearing apart the forces of the micro-Magnetic Field to alter and restructure the Basic Particles, forming an irreversible Anti-Magnetic Field Black Domain!
“What is that?”
“The Great Silence of All Heavens?”
“No, it’s even more terrifying than the Great Silence of All Heavens!”
The originally tense Hongyuan spectators below the stage suddenly saw Wu Dao, in front of the Three Thousand Killing Emperor Array, extend a hand. Immediately after, the spacetime he occupied transformed into a deep, silent, all-extinguishing black hole!
Soundless, breathless, without technique, without Dao!
It was like the dark side of the Great Dao.
Anything that existed on the positive side was annihilated the instant it made contact!
Just by observing it…
…one felt as if the All Heavens and Myriad Realms and the Three Thousand Great Paths were all about to be extinguished and buried within it. Even Celestial Prides of the Little Martial Ancestor’s level felt a chill run through their entire bodies!
In an instant.
The arena seemed to split in two!
On one side was the endless, crimson Emperor Slaying Array. Within it, thousands of Little Cosmoses constructed from killing intent churned, and every node was a Quasi-Ancestor King from the Emperor Clan, burning their life force.
On the other side…
…was a great darkness that enveloped everything!
The Eternal Hell, the primordial Abyss!
Even they could not compare to one hundred-millionth of the fear brought by that darkness!
Even with the barrier of the Great Dao obstructing the view…
…some of the Quasi-Emperors in both camps who observed that darkness still felt their very souls being stared at by it, as if they could fall and be annihilated at any moment!
BUZZ—
In the next instant of thought.
‘No Path: Great Black Heaven.’
Within the dark canopy of the heavens, a Demon God opened its eyes.
As the deep murmur faded…
Wu Dao began to step forward and attack the array!
And then…
A silent feast of slaughter began!
There was no terror or despair.
Nor was there any hysteria.
Within a world that had nearly frozen still…
…the soldiers of both the Mountain and Sea and Hongyuan camps watched, eyes wide with terror, as the great black canopy spread, enveloping and annihilating everything.
The Three Thousand Killing Emperor Array.
The extreme slaughter domain it constructed…
…at the instant it touched the Great Black Heaven…
…vanished silently into the darkness like a drawing erased by a rubber, without making even the slightest ripple!
