Chapter 590 - 33: With a Pure Yang Sword, Slaying All Who Block the Path
"I jointly govern the Divine Path with the Queen Mother of the West, so the next time you see me, please call me the Eastern Prince!"
When the Eastern Monarch said these words, his identity was already self-evident.
As the third incarnation manifested by Li Boyang with the Path of the Sun, his birth was to shield Xiluo from disaster.
Whizz!
When that gleam of light returned to the Eastern Monarch’s hand, it was only then that everyone saw its true form.
It was a Pure Yang Treasure Sword, three feet in length, golden in color.
The blazing True Sun Fire endowed it with extraordinary lethality, yet it possessed a spirit no different from ordinary living beings.
After temporarily repelling the "God," the spectators even faintly heard a high-pitched dragon’s roar emanating from the sword.
The eager fighting spirit was already a full testament to the Eastern Monarch’s dominance.
"Who is next?"
Holding the sword with one hand and glancing around, the arrogant yet contemptuous demeanor on the Eastern Monarch’s face became even more apparent.
Not to mention, the Pathfinders themselves were the strongest of their era.
Just looking at the challenging gaze of the Eastern Monarch, no one could endure it.
So after a brief silence, the remaining Pathfinders who sought to stop Xiluo’s ascension also began to make their moves.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The River of Time began to ripple, visible brilliance blooming in different eras.
There stood the Eastern Monarch proudly atop the River of Time, the Pure Yang Sword in his hand transforming into a golden dragon, flexibly fending off attacks from any era.
Sometimes becoming a golden dragon, sometimes reverting to a long sword...
The Pure Yang Treasure Sword darted in and out of the River of Time with lightning speed.
Each time causing the Pathfinders on the other end to howl and scream.
It was only then that the Pathfinders realized the terrifying nature of the Pure Yang Treasure Sword.
Even without the Eastern Monarch’s command, this Pure Yang Treasure Sword could automatically lock on and slay its targets.
What’s more, the Pure Yang Treasure Sword symbolized the Path of the Sun, one of the most powerful and destructive paths in the world.
It traversed various times and spaces repeatedly, equivalent to Emperor Hao and the Eastern Monarch personally striking again and again.
Some unlucky Pathfinders who had not yet achieved ascension in other eras died in their own era, which meant complete death.
Even those who extended their existence to multiple spaces and times, the relentless pursuit by the Pure Yang Treasure Sword remained terrifying.
Except for those who have become the mainstream of the River of Time through true strength, the remaining Pathfinders all faced the possibility of being completely slain by this Pure Yang Treasure Sword.
After realizing this, the number of Pathfinders daring to take action significantly dwindled.

Cloud Dream Jade Pool Mirror, on the Taiyin Star.
"Teacher, is this your ’Path of the Sun’?"
Gazing up at the seemingly empty sky, Wang Shu’s eyes were filled with undisguised curiosity and excitement.
Due to the absence of the Sun Star, the current operational pressure of the Cloud Dream Jade Pool Mirror rested entirely on Wang Shu, yet she seemed unbothered by it.
On the contrary, having personally witnessed Li Boyang’s attainment of the Path of the Sun.
Then watching him transform into the Eastern Monarch and wreak havoc was an unimaginable inspiration for Wang Shu.
Especially the unparalleled aura of "a Pure Yang Sword, slaying all path obstructors," which perfectly matched Wang Shu’s ideal vision of her future ascension.
"Looks like I need to spend some effort learning the Artifact Refining Method!"
Looking down at the Eight Trigrams Furnace beneath her, Wang Shu, who was originally uninterested in Artifact Refining, muttered to herself.
Because if it were merely the Path of the Sun on its own, the Eastern Monarch could never have displayed such overwhelming power.
The Pure Yang Sword that emerged from the Eight Trigrams Furnace was the Eastern Monarch’s confidence in daring to slay all path obstructors.
Wherever the Pure Yang Sword traversed, it was as if the Eastern Monarch’s true form was entering and exiting the River of Time, like the ancient Sun descending in person.
If not driven to the brink, Pathfinders rarely ventured their true forms into completely unfamiliar spaces and times.
Just in this aspect alone, the Pure Yang Sword already surpassed countless Divine Artifacts.
Much less, the capabilities of the Pure Yang Sword were not limited to this.
Passing through the Celestial Abyss, Light Splitting and Shadow Transformation, Sword Roaring Dragon Scare, Gathering Qi and Shaping Form, Ten Thousand Swords Returning to Origin...
Every sword technique conceivable can be perfectly demonstrated on the Pure Yang Sword.
Anyone who fought against it felt as though they were facing their peer who had proven their path through swordsmanship and slaughter.
Wang Shu did not aspire to forge a Divine Artifact of the same caliber as the Pure Yang Sword.
But the Path of the Taiyin is an equal grand path to the Path of the Sun; if she could also possess a Divine Artifact worthy of bearing the path, it would definitely surpass the current Pathfinders.
Upon thinking this, Wang Shu seemed to understand Li Boyang’s often-repeated summary of the Path of Celestial and Human——Everything uses me as the foundation.
Essence, Qi, and Spirit are the fundamentals for cultivators, naturally needing years of cultivation and reinforcement.
Spells and Divine Powers are the cultivators’ Path Protective Means; whether seeking the path or seeking immortality, without proficiency in a couple of Path Protective Divine Powers, one is bound to fall midway.
Yet Li Boyang also did not shun the enhancement of oneself by external items.
Be it Pills or Magical Treasures, they are powerful tools for path protection and seeking immortality.
Before today, Wang Shu did not have a very intuitive understanding of this.
She only knew that Li Boyang possessed many Magical Treasures, each with its own wonders, but rarely saw them demonstrated in actual combat.
However, that Pure Yang Sword completely shattered Wang Shu’s perception.
With the empowerment of that Pure Yang Sword, the Eastern Monarch managed to face multiple foes alone, leaving the Pathfinders no longer daring to probe this era.
It’s worth noting that those Pathfinders were no amateurs.
They were undoubtedly top-tier powerhouses of their respective eras, perhaps even the ultimate powerhouses dominating an entire era.
Wang Shu had no doubt that even if she succeeded in ascension, she wouldn’t be much stronger than any of those Pathfinders.
After witnessing the Pure Yang Sword unleashing its divine prowess, Wang Shu suddenly had a bold thought—could even a mortal, upon acquiring this Pure Yang Sword, resist a Pathfinder?
After all, the series of Magical Treasures crafted by Li Boyang never set high thresholds for user conditions.
In fact, Wang Shu wasn’t the only one harboring such doubts.
The Pathfinders battling the Eastern Monarch were also perplexed by this "Eastern Prince" who suddenly emerged.
The name Eastern Monarch stemmed from Emperor Hao.
The name Eastern Prince corresponded with the Queen Mother of the West.
No matter how you looked at it, the Eastern Monarch had a high probability of being an alias.
[He absolutely couldn’t be an obscure nobody!]
[What is his true identity?]
[Tao Ancestor? Yin Celestial Monarch? Primordial Celestial King? Lingbao Heavenly Venerable? Zhen Wu Emperor? Or one of the Four Spirits of Heaven and Earth?]
Such thoughts flickered through the minds of countless Pathfinders.
The strong figures that these Pathfinders contemplated bore more or less a resemblance to the Eastern Monarch, yet none completely matched the features he displayed.
