Chapter 2783: The Heavenly Dao Cannot Be Defied!
"By the way, did you just say Su Yang is in seclusion again?" Taoist Venerable suddenly asked in surprise.
The other strongest beings also turned their gaze towards Ye Wantong, their faces filled with shock.
It hasn’t been long since he last emerged; is Su Yang breaking through again?
With another breakthrough, Su Yang will enter the Advanced Heavenly Realm. A step further would be the Heavenly Peak. Once at the Heavenly Peak, he will have the opportunity to advance to the strongest realm.
The Human Clan is currently waiting for Su Yang to advance to the strongest realm, Ye Wantong’s advancement isn’t crucial yet, as her power won’t increase that quickly. Even if she ascends to the strongest realm, her fighting power in the short term won’t be very formidable.
But Su Yang is different; his power increases rapidly. Once he advances to the strongest realm, he’ll certainly catch up to Taoist Venerable and the others in the shortest time possible. With his Undying Golden Body and Undying Bone, he can definitely hold his own.
At that time, it will be the moment for the Human Clan to launch a full counterattack!
It can be said that the Guardian Gods are waiting for that final Heavenly Venerable, while the Human Clan awaits Su Yang!
Su Yang’s upcoming ascension is a tremendous piece of good news for the Human Clan. The faster Su Yang advances, the greater the Human Clan’s hope for victory!
"My friend is going to break through again?" Demon Lord also asked in surprise.
"It seems so!" Ye Wantong nodded, "After returning, he went straight into seclusion, saying he had some insights in Chaos."
Everyone looked at each other; Su Yang gained insight in Chaos in such a short time. This speed of advancement is truly enviable.
"This is excellent, have him advance quickly. Once he enters the strongest realm, we will launch a full-scale war against those foolish Guardian Gods!" Taoist Venerable said with excitement, "And you, young lady, cultivate quickly too. By then, our Human Clan will have two strongest beings, and the Guardian Gods’ Heavenly Sect will likely not have recovered to the strongest realm, won’t we sweep them away then!"
The other strongest beings also smiled broadly; if it could truly happen like this, it would be perfect!
"I’ll do my best!" Ye Wantong nodded vigorously.
"This sword, I’ll give it to you." Taoist Venerable suddenly took out the Eternal Sword and presented it to Ye Wantong, "This is the sword of the Eternal Main God; I’ve erased all of his aura from it. Although it’s not as powerful as the Heaven-Slaying Blade, among the strongest artifacts, it ranks in the top five. You’ve inherited the Female Sword Saint’s legacy; your main attack methods come from her Secret Technique. With a good sword, your combat power can be greatly enhanced!"
"Thank you, Taoist Venerable!" Ye Wantong didn’t hesitate and accepted the Eternal Sword.
Just as Taoist Venerable said, she inherited the Female Sword Saint’s legacy, and her main attack Magic comes from the Female Sword Saint. All of the Female Sword Saint’s Secret Techniques are executed with a sword.
The Female Sword Saint also left behind her own sword; it is also a Divine Artifact. But below the strongest realm, that sword is very powerful, whereas at the level of the strongest realm, it’s far from sufficient.
Ye Wantong consumed the Chaos Flower; during this time, she was digesting it and trying to channel power into the Female Sword Saint’s sword. But once she infused some power, she found the sword almost deformed, as if it was about to shatter at any moment, scaring her into retracting her power immediately.
From then on, Ye Wantong realized that the Female Sword Saint’s sword couldn’t withstand the power of the strongest realm. In other words, once she cultivates to the strongest realm, the Female Sword Saint’s sword will be meaningless to her.
In fact, among all Divine Artifacts in the world, only a few can withstand the power of the strongest realm. Among them, only the Eternal Sword can complement Ye Wantong’s Secret Techniques.
Therefore, Taoist Venerable giving the Eternal Sword to Ye Wantong truly assisted her greatly.
The six Taoist Venerables arrived near the forest where Su Yang was secluded. The forest was shrouded in mist. However, the mist couldn’t obstruct the strongest beings, and they saw Su Yang sitting deep in the forest at a glance.
"Judging by his stance, he’s really about to advance!" Taoist Venerable remarked, "His cultivation speed far exceeds what I had back then!"
"Considering he has accumulated so much from Buddha Venerable and Heaven Slayer, and possesses the Innate Undying Golden Body and Undying Bone, it’s not something we can compare to." Human Emperor said, "His fast cultivation is reasonable."
"Why is the gap between us, the earliest born, so large?" Taoist Venerable sighed reluctantly.
"Don’t envy him; can others accomplish your One Qi Three Pure Ones?" Demon Lord sneered, "You all are part of the first born batch; look at me, from the latter generations, with no innate advantages, I had to cultivate bit by bit myself, have I said anything!"
The group looked at Demon Lord and nodded, Taoist Venerable smiled, "Seeing you, I feel much better!"
Demon Lord: "..."
Su Yang had yet to emerge, so the group didn’t linger there, leaving to recuperate.
After the battle with the Guardian Gods’ strongest beings, everyone was greatly drained and needed a proper recovery.
Amid the forest, Su Yang appeared to be sitting in silent meditation. In reality, within his mind, he was experiencing wave after wave of impact.
"The Heavenly Dao cannot be defied!"
"The Heavenly Dao cannot be defied!"
"Only within the Heavenly Dao can life exist. The Earth Principle is the endpoint of life!"
"Do you think what you’re doing is right? Do you know that by doing this, you’re sending all life to its end!"
"The Earth Principle tempts hearts; do not be deceived by it!"
"Submit to the Heavenly Dao, and all your sins will be forgiven..."
One voice after another kept ringing in Su Yang’s ears, seemingly trying to indoctrinate him.
Su Yang’s mind was turbulent, these voices were highly seductive. A slight distraction and he could fall under their control.
He didn’t know what was happening; since his return to the Nine Realms, this voice continuously echoed in his ears.
He searched meticulously for a long time but couldn’t find the source of these voices. Helplessly, he chose to enter seclusion, attempting to stabilize his mind first.
As for the sense of being watched, it’s something he told Ye Wantong. In truth, Ye Wantong was only watched briefly, while Su Yang felt the sensation of being constantly observed. Whatever entity is hiding in the dark seems to be continuously watching Su Yang, a feeling that makes him uneasy.
Coupling this constant stream of tempting voices echoing in Su Yang’s ears, it’s nearly driving Su Yang insane.
Su Yang didn’t even realize the six strongest beings had returned and exchanged a few words outside.
