Chapter 1783 - 1379: Chaos Approaches!
Guang Chengzi?
The master of that aged face formed from the swirling and condensing Heavenly Pool Black Mist was actually the legendary Guang Chengzi, Emperor Huang’s Master from ancient times?
Just how many years ago was Guang Chengzi an ancient figure? Could he still be alive? Or is this old man merely a coincidental namesake to the Immortal Master Guang Chengzi?
Such astounding questions, the people of the world are not even qualified to know the secrets behind them.
And now, revealing the identity of the old man, Dugu Qiubai, who seems to know some secrets, has already slowly stood up from the edge of the Sky and placed his steady and cloudlike palm on the sword handle, as if about to draw his sword.
At this time, bursts of cold laughter hoarsely emerged from the old man’s face formed by the black mist, suddenly altering his previous gentle and kind tone to one filled with a heaven-defying, earth-shattering resentment. The dark mouth, as if ready to devour, opened and closed menacingly, speaking ominously.
"Dugu Sword Demon! You junior have indeed good luck. In this world, there are countless strong practitioners with swords, like Wu Ming, the Martial Arts Legend of Divine Martial Country, who was merely a half-step away from the Breakthrough Realm back then.
You originally lagged behind Wu Ming by far. If not for coincidentally obtaining the Emperor’s Sword Qi in the Emperor’s Treasure Vault and refining it, and then absorbing a wisp of the Nurturing Mother Qi from the inception of this world in the Sky, along with the Sword Dao inheritance of your late brother Mu Yingxiong, you would hardly reach the current realm capable of guarding the Sky, no matter how extraordinary your talent is.
But..... today you desire to stop this master from exiting the Sky, it’s still wishful thinking!"
As soon as Guang Chengzi’s words fell.
The temperature plummeted sharply, and the black depths seemed to suddenly become merciless.
The great face formed by the surging black mist, like a black cloud billowing out of the Sky.
Instantly it was about to sully the clear Heavenly Vault outside, with layers upon layers of black mist tumbling and colliding, rolling up and down throughout the entire Sky as if a black storm was about to cover the whole world tightly.
At once, the world’s Qi Mechanism turned chaotic.
"Enough talking, let’s fight if you want!"
Dugu Qiubai’s lips moved, and a cold smile curved his icy lips. On the bridge of his high, straight nose, those once-closed eyes suddenly opened, with cold and vigorous eyes immediately shooting out astonishing Sword Intent and Sword Qi, flashing two dazzling white lights that pierced towards the churning, rising black mist below.
Seeking Defeat Sword Technique—Eye Sword!
Crack!!
A deafening, earth-shattering roar erupted suddenly, as two dazzling sword lights released from Dugu Qiubai’s eyes broke through the constraints of the black mist in an instant, tearing apart the elder face condensed by Guang Chengzi’s mist, causing two holes to open in the black mist immediately.
Whoosh whoosh!——
The lightning-like sword lights swiftly shot forward, straight into the depths of the black mist where Guang Chengzi was hidden.
Yet at this moment, a slight and mysterious sound arose within the black mist.
It seemed like a terrifying incantation.
At the instant the sound arose, a crackling thunder clap boomed within the black mist, with the world’s Qi Mechanism suddenly becoming incredibly intense.
"Ancient Technique—Shocking Dragon!"
Boom!!——
A figure emitting faint light in the darkness suddenly flashed into view, with flowing sleeves stirring up wild winds, gathering the black mist, like summoning countless black wild horses, madly surging and clashing in all directions.
Suddenly, around him burst forth countless fiery Red Training Snakes, galloping out with thundering momentum.
Instantly colliding with those two astounding sword lights.
Clang!!——
A terrifying impact weighing nearly a hundred tons collided together, erupting into two circles of visible shockwaves.
Following that, Guang Chengzi’s sleeves billowed, his hands waving continuously. Streaks of lightning surrounding his body, one after another, as fiery Red Training Snakes streaked across midair, illuminating the surging waves of chaotic black mist, covering towards Dugu Qiubai, laughing coldly.
"Dugu Qiubai, let’s see if your sword is faster or my magic is quicker!"
"Fraudulence!"
Dugu Qiubai smiled arrogantly, his arms trembling, causing the sword held in his embrace to produce a ’clang’ sound, suddenly resonating like a spinning top, continuously vibrating and rotating, erupting with a series of celestial metallic divine sounds, echoing melodiously through the sky and earth.
"Creak!!"
Suddenly, a bright white light burst forth in the darkness, shining with an intense brilliance like a dazzling electric fissure, the amazing Sword Qi flash tore through all the Red Training Snakes, cutting a long rift within the black mist.
Countless dense Sword Qi aftershocks shattered a large area of black mist, impacting close to Guang Chengzi’s figure hidden in the mist.
"Broken Vajra!"
Guang Chengzi let out a cold grunt, transforming his palm into a fist, and in the instant of stepping forward, his robes around him billowed like sails meeting the wind, bulging as the surrounding black mist surged like waves, pushing and engulfingly sweeping over, gathering densely around his body as if forming armor.
His body too was accompanied by a burst of crackling bones, his whole person shooting taller as his clothes stretched tight, muscles bulging, entirely golden like a Vajra, with majestic aura twisting the surrounding air into disarray.
Two fists punched forward fiercely.
Dang!——!
The sound of thunder exploding in the sky resounded astonishingly.
A terrifying pitch-black fissure was born at the location where they clashed.
Within the fissure, a formidable suction erupted, devouring all the scattered Qi Force.
Crack! Crack! –
The entire Sky was instantly filled with rolling black mist, thunderous sounds echoing amidst the clashing of steel and the wailing of swords, lightning striking continuously, creating a formidable momentum that caused the Qi Mechanism of this entire world to become chaotic, frequently fluctuating.
In an instant, both the strange aura within Sky and the strong Returning to Truth realm cultivators capable of sensing the world’s Qi Mechanism were all alarmed by this earth-shattering battle, stunned beyond belief.
Some even started to detect the premonitory signs of a new Heavenly Mechanism Catastrophe from the terrifying commotion suddenly erupting within Sky.
...
"Dharma’s Heart has just been activated, yet it has already stirred such a commotion... It seems the Catastrophe Weapon seen with Heavenly Vision through one of the five Breakthrough Divine Skills by Dharma back then would indeed shake the heavens..."
In Ying Country, on the wasteland, Jiang Dali’s entire body exuded an intimidating momentum, with his upper body showcasing craggy muscles like twisted steel ropes, gleaming with dazzling hard light, as if he were a God Demon ruling this wasteland, standing next to the white light from Dharma’s Heart reaching the sky, guarding it until the white light gradually weakened.
His brow furrowed, face steeled in harsh seriousness, mind tightly wound.
While guarding Dharma’s Heart just now, he had sensed Qin Shi Huang’s aura reaching out from afar, not even using the He’s Jade Disc he carried.
Clearly, the power of this Eternal Emperor had now regained even more strength than before.
Moreover, in his Spiritual Sense, far away as if from the direction of the Holy Dynasty, strong fluctuations of Qi Mechanism were present, seemingly stirred by Dharma’s Heart, drawing in formidable entities.
Among these, two exceptionally strong Qi Mechanisms continued to clash in a battle.
In his perception, they seemed like two columns of smoke fiercely colliding, with one Qi Mechanism feeling strangely familiar alongside some foreignness.
"This familiar Qi Mechanism... could it possibly be... Guang Chengzi’s aura?"
Jiang Dali’s brow furrowed even more deeply, arms crossed, eyes closed, carefully sensing the fearful Qi Mechanisms in distant locations like the ends of the earth, continually clashing.
The intensity of this was even greater than his earlier battle with Xiao Jingtian, starting to alarm the deeper layers of Qi Mechanism spread throughout the heavens, emerging from the terrifying auras of ’Heaven’ and Emperor.
But at this moment, another familiar Qi Mechanism suddenly appeared from a far-off location, akin to a massive stone suddenly thrown into a small water tank, causing the already tumultuous tank to surge with huge waves, leaving the Qi Mechanism of that space completely muddled, constantly turbulent, as if the wind had lessened but became sharper, making it difficult to detect specific information.
"Regent King!"
Jiang Dali frowned, collected his thoughts, massive streams of subtle information slowly receding from his mind, no longer sensing the muddled Qi Mechanism there.
Despite not knowing which parties were fighting in the distance, the fact it had alarmed the Regent King clearly indicated the seriousness of the matter.
And the instigator of all this could very likely be ’Dharma’s Heart,’ otherwise, so many dormant supreme warriors wouldn’t coincidentally emerge when Dharma’s Heart was activated.
Thinking this way, it seemed like the activation of Dharma’s Heart had already escalated things substantially.
...
Then, a notification message suddenly appeared on the panel.
Jiang Dali was just about to check the message when he noticed the area illuminated as bright as day by white light suddenly dimmed, with Dharma’s Heart lying calmly in the pit, its original glowing ’X’ mark now dull, seemingly drained of power.
He immediately reached out swiftly, snatched Dharma’s Heart into his hand, gazing at the internally dark ’X’ mark with a contemplative expression.
He had just tried to stop the white light emitted from ’Dharma’s Heart.’
But found that no matter how he blocked it, even standing on the pit or sitting over it couldn’t stop the light from Dharma’s Heart.
This light seemed to possess a peculiar power, circumventing or directly passing through his body to emit outward.
Therefore, he resorted to forcibly memorizing and remembering the Sanskrit emitted within the white light, intending to later seek someone proficient in Sanskrit to translate its specific meaning.
However, now a sense of urgency arose within him.
Dharma’s Heart’s sudden activation was entirely unexpected.
Yet now it seems, it may have stirred some individuals with sinister intentions mentioned by Dharma, causing trouble to soon knock at his door.
He could perhaps hand Dharma’s Heart back to Shaolin now, freeing himself from troubles.
But he wasn’t one to shy away from challenges, and if a calamity engulfing the world was coming, with him in this world, he couldn’t avoid it no matter how, better to prepare in advance and face the calamity directly.
"Counter soldiers with arms, block water with earth! When treasures arrive, carry them up the mountains! No more overthinking!"
His palm suddenly tightened around Dharma’s Heart, Jiang Dali turned around, tiger eyes fixed on the gradually approaching fleeting figures across the plains, ears catching the sound of distant horse hooves rapidly approaching, with the players’ chatter particularly clear.
Shaking his head silently, he shifted his gaze to the reminder on the panel, then his expression turned grave, sensing trouble, suddenly lifting his Qi, employing movement technique, stirring up a vast cloud of dust like rolling dragons, swiftly departing...
