Chapter 473 - 249: Profound Beyond Profound, the Door of All Wonders
"Hm? That’s Li Mutian’s Heaven-Flipping Seal. Since it’s in your hands, it seems Li Mutian is truly dead!"
One of the men, who was dressed as a Daoist, stared at the Heaven-Flipping Seal in Wang Xiao’s hand, his eyes flashing.
He knew that the Heaven-Flipping Seal could be considered Li Mutian’s Lifebound item.
For it to now be in someone else’s possession could only mean that Li Mutian was dead!
After all—
Marvels were incredibly precious, even for Cultivators of their rank.
Not every Cultivator beyond the Fate-Knowing Realm possessed a Marvel.
"Amitabha. Patron, surely you don’t believe you can defeat the four of us with a single Marvel, do you?!"
Mi Guang intoned the Buddha’s name.
Although they hadn’t brought any Marvels with them, they were confident that with their power, their opponent would be no match for them, even with a Marvel.
In this part of Heaven and Earth, there had never been an Infinite Realm expert who could single-handedly withstand the combined attack of four others!
Wang Xiao smiled faintly.
"Is that so?!"
Without another word, he suddenly activated the Heaven-Flipping Seal!
RUMBLE!
In an instant, the power from the Blank Rune in his Grotto Heaven, which spanned ten light-years, surged into the Heaven-Flipping Seal!
BOOM—
The next moment, the Heaven-Flipping Seal began to vibrate violently, as if about to split the heavens and earth apart.
A visible ripple suddenly erupted from the Heaven-Flipping Seal, sealing off all of the surrounding Space.
Endless runes flashed into existence, tearing permanent spatial rifts into the void that stretched for ten thousand miles!
The ripple seemed slow, but in reality, it had already transcended Time and Space, appearing instantly before Mi Guang and the other titans.
"Huh?! W-What is this power?!"
As Mi Guang and the others felt the immense power radiating from the ripple of endless runes, their pupils contracted violently.
This power sent a tremor of fear through their hearts.
It was as if, in that moment, their lives and deaths were no longer in their own hands.
However, having dominated Heaven and Earth for many years, they reacted in the very first instant.
Mi Guang raised his hand, and the silhouette of a Buddha boomed into existence, thrusting out a palm.
RUMBLE—
A golden light shone from the Palm Seal, exuding an air of solemnity and divinity.
Sanskrit chants echoed from it, as if a Buddha had descended to the mortal world or a Bodhisattva was on a journey.
All other powers were meant to bow before this one palm strike!
It was none other than the ultimate technique of Lankes Mountain, the Great Sumeru Palm!
The other great powers and titans were not the least bit slower.
The man in the black robe stirred up a black fog, transforming into what seemed like a world-ending calamity.
The Daoist in the Daoist Robe performed Talisman Painting in the void, and in an instant, the sky collapsed, the earth sundered, and Space was annihilated!
Finally, the woman exuding a dense demonic aura let out a phoenix cry as a scorching fire ignited around her, threatening to incinerate everything in the world.
However, their counterattacks were all in vain.
The moment they touched the ripple glittering with complex runes, the Palm Seal that Mi Guang had blasted out was instantly annihilated!
The black fog was also quelled, vanishing without a trace.
The Talisman and flames shattered and dissolved into nothingness.
Everything, absolutely everything, was utterly powerless before this ripple and was crushed in an instant!
This was an absolute gap in power.
No matter how profound their Secret Techniques were, it was useless.
With the aid of the Heaven-Flipping Seal, Wang Xiao’s current power was already enough to rival or even surpass that of an ordinary Tier Nine Life form.
It was naturally not something Mi Guang and the others could withstand.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Permanent spatial rifts boomed into existence.
In less than a ten-thousandth of a second, they completely devoured Mi Guang and the others, leaving not a single trace behind.
With a wave of his hand, Wang Xiao collected all the treasures from their bodies and drew them into his grasp.
There were a full three Curiosities among them, which was quite a decent haul.
Most importantly, Wang Xiao had also learned the Secret Techniques of these Tier Eight Life forms through analysis.
For example, their Divine Soul Descent Technique could actually ignore the distance across the void.
As long as there was a sufficient medium, it allowed for instantaneous descent.
Of course, this came at a cost. If the descended Divine Soul was damaged, then their original bodies would also be affected.
Now that the Divine Souls Mi Guang and the others had sent down were slain by Wang Xiao, their original bodies would need at least a thousand years of recuperation to recover.
"D-Dead? They’re all dead?!"
Li Tianhe watched as the most powerful Cultivators in this part of Heaven and Earth vanished right before his eyes, his expression shifting from dazed confusion to utter shock!
He had imagined that Wang Xiao might be able to handle Mi Guang and the others on his own.
However, he had never imagined that Wang Xiao could do it so easily!
This was simply beyond his comprehension.
The other Fate-Knowing Realm experts looked at Wang Xiao with awe in their eyes.
Among them, some had originally been displeased with Wang Xiao for occupying the Great Li Treasure Vault.
But upon seeing this scene, all feelings of dissatisfaction vanished like smoke into thin air.
They had a premonition that the landscape of the Great Li Dynasty would likely be completely transformed because of the man before them!
Facing everyone’s awestruck gazes, Wang Xiao’s expression remained as calm as ever.
In the past hundred years, he had thoroughly studied the Heaven-Flipping Seal.
He knew the reason its Heaven-Overturning Strike was so formidable. After pouring power into the Heaven-Flipping Seal, executing the Heaven-Overturning Strike would amplify that power several times over!
Coupled with the enhancement from One Qi Transformed into the Three Pristine Ones, Wang Xiao could already crush any expert below the level of a Tier Nine Life form.
No matter how many of these Tier Eight Life forms there were, their power was completely suppressed, rendering even their combined efforts useless.
Wang Xiao’s expression was serene as he walked up to Li Tianhe and said,
"Your Majesty, what I just destroyed were merely the Divine Souls these people sent down. Their original bodies are still safe and sound. Sooner or later, they will be back."
"When that time comes, it won’t be just the four of them. They will come out in full force, and they will bring their Marvels."
"The assault we will face will be ten times more intense than today’s!"
Hearing this, Li Tianhe’s expression darkened.
"Brother Wang speaks reason. I wonder, does Brother Wang have any brilliant ideas to help my Great Li survive this crisis?!"
He knew that right now, the only one who could save their Great Li Dynasty was Wang Xiao.
If Wang Xiao hadn’t just intervened, the Great Li Dynasty would likely not have escaped its fate of annihilation today.
Wang Xiao said,
"Since a war is inevitable, we must naturally strike them down one by one before they can gather their forces!"
"However, before that, I hope Your Majesty can take me to the Underworld."
"That place may be able to help my power ascend to the next level!"
He had now broken through to become a Tier Eight Life form.
To break through to Tier Nine, he needed to complete three steps: Mysterious Condensation Patterns, Rune Heaven and Earth, and Starry Sky Resonance.
In the Real World, Wang Xiao had already comprehended all the mysteries.
This step shouldn’t take too much time.
And with the help of the Chaos Cyan Lotus, the Rune Heaven and Earth step wasn’t a problem either.
The most crucial part was Starry Sky Resonance.
To achieve Starry Sky Resonance, the countless Rule Runes within his body needed to vibrate and achieve the same frequency as the various Space Layers of the starry sky.
The more Space Layers he resonated with, the stronger he would become.
If he relied solely on his own power, completing this step quickly would take at least a thousand years, if not more.
Wang Xiao naturally didn’t have that much time right now, so he needed to rely on external forces.
The Underworld was suspected to contain a fragment of an Immortal Object, which might be helpful for his future Cultivation.
Even if it wasn’t helpful, he would still need to use this Treasure Fragment hidden in the Underworld for his future ascension.
He definitely had to check it out in advance!
"No problem. I will take Brother Wang to the Underworld right now."
Li Tianhe agreed without a second thought.
He paused for a moment. Then he continued,
"However, aside from maintaining the balance of the Underworld, I have never discovered any other wondrous uses for the Treasure Fragment hidden there."
Wang Xiao said faintly,
"It’s fine. Let’s go have a look first."
"Alright."
Li Tianhe said no more. With a flip of his palm, a single page from a book appeared in his hand.
Then, he began to chant an incantation.
In an instant, the book page released countless black runes that enveloped both him and Wang Xiao.
The next moment, Wang Xiao felt the world spin around him, as if he had torn through endless space and arrived at the very edge of Heaven and Earth!
An endless, chilling aura washed over him.
Soon, the dizzying sensation faded.
The surrounding scenery gradually came into focus.
Just then, Wang Xiao felt the Book of Space-Time in his mind begin to tremble violently.
The frequency of the vibration was identical to when he had encountered the Chaos Cyan Lotus.
’The treasure hidden in the Underworld... is it really an Immortal Object?!’
A glint flashed in Wang Xiao’s eyes.
Just as he was about to release his Divine Thought to properly investigate,
an ethereal voice suddenly echoed in his mind.
"The mystery of mysteries, the Door of All Wonders!"
