Chapter 534
“The original intention of the Dao was to break free from the shackles of this world and universe and to give future generations a chance to truly be equal to the heavens and the earth!”
Sui Xiang sighed.
“However, he still failed… Although he broke free from the heavens and the world, he died from exhaustion!”
“Little did he know that after his death, there would be no one left in the world to prove the Dao with their strength…”
Sui Xiang shook his head slightly.
The original meaning of the Dao is to break the heavens and the earth, so that there will be…a being that truly surpasses the sage and is equal to the heavens and the earth!
Because the heavens and the earth do not allow for a realm above the sage.
Therefore, the sage is the supreme realm, but it is still one rank below the heavens and the earth!
And the Dao broke the shackles of the heavens and the earth, so there are no more shackles above the sage.
He has secured a limit for the countless living beings in the world!
The only pity is…the Dao is dead!
If he hadn’t died, perhaps there really would have been a being above the sage!
But once he died, the world was incomplete, and it was difficult for even a sage to come forth…let alone one above a sage?
Xu Xi shook his head slightly. He admired and felt pity for the being named Dao from countless years ago.
Breaking the shackles of heaven and earth and seeking a higher realm for future generations…
What kind of strength and ambition was this?
But alas, Dao is dead, and future generations are not up to par!
No more amazing cultivators have appeared in later generations as in ancient times.
Not to mention transcending the Dao of Heaven, even a sage, no one can achieve it…
“So, is it really that difficult to prove the Dao by strength?”
Su Xiu took a deep breath, feeling the immense pressure and pain he was bearing.
With his strength, he could easily pass through countless eons, but he actually felt it was difficult…
It should be noted that before formally proving the Dao by strength, Su Xiu was a genuine flesh-and-blood sage!
“No… back in the ancient times, there were very few cultivators who had proven their way through strength, so the difficulty can be imagined…“
”And at that time, perhaps they had the Dao to fall back on, so the pressure of fighting against the Dao was not as great…“
”And now, I have to rely on myself, so it is inevitably difficult…“
After thinking this through, Su Xing no longer held back, and used his trump card.
Apart from becoming a saint in the flesh, Su Xing had other trump cards!
”Since it is the pressure of the Dao…then I will use the world to fight against the world!”
“Spiritual Realm, manifest!”
Su Xing muttered, and then his Spiritual Realm fully expanded!
Su Xing’s Spiritual Realm now had a range of 20 million li!
Although it was still at the level of a world, its power had doubled compared to before.
As expected, once his Spiritual Realm had expanded, Su Xing felt his pressure drop sharply!
Su Xing’s Spiritual Realm was now equivalent to a real world.
Although the power of the spiritual realm is still far from being able to resist the will of the entire Pangu World and the Heaven’s Dao,
it is enough to withstand some of the pressure of the world.
Under these circumstances, the pressure on Awakening to survive the countless calamities is greatly reduced!
Thus, a long battle of resistance and competition began.
Awakening, with absolute physical strength, a strong perception of the Dao, the power of the world, and a variety of skills, was able to withstand this calamity after all.
One day…one month…one year…ten years…
a hundred years!
Su Xing could feel that the power of the Pangu world was gradually being depleted by him.
Yes, even a world, even the laws of the universe, have their limits!
Because the laws of the universe care about too many things, they cannot deal with Su Xing with full force.
And in this situation, perseverance is victory!
Finally, after Su Xing had persevered for a hundred years…
One day, the terrifying pressure quickly subsided like a tide!
Su Xing seemed to feel the reluctance coming from the heavens and the earth…
But it was too late!
As the endless eons finally passed, Su Xing felt an unprecedented power being added to him!
A surging magical power was being cultivated within Su Xing.
Su Xing could feel that an invisible shackle within him had finally been broken at this moment.
At the same time, strange phenomena were occurring frequently between heaven and earth.
Above the nine heavens, white light descended, and an infinite perception of the Dao was cultivated from above the nine heavens, shaping and creating a land of hundreds of millions of li.
Golden light surged from the ground, transforming into a thousand streams of thick immortal energy that dispersed in all directions.
Anyone who touched it would immediately ascend to the heavens and reach the realm of immortals!
There seemed to be an unusual sound between heaven and earth.
A heavenly voice came from nowhere, spreading to the hearts of every cultivator.
“Cultivators awaken, using the laws of space as a foundation, overcoming the ten tribulations of the saints, and after more than a hundred years, proving the Dao through strength…and becoming saints and achieving the fruit of humanity!”
As this heavenly sound fell, countless creatures throughout the entire Pangu World turned their gazes towards the direction of Awakening.
At the same time, a thought arose in the hearts of all the creatures in the Pangu World.
Their mission was complete!
At the same time, the Ninth Heaven began to crumble…
…
This place of temporal turbulence that had existed for countless years finally disappeared between heaven and earth!
The entire Pangu World, from the immortals to the mortals, vanished in the blink of an eye!
Awakening watched this scene with a sense of enlightenment.
He took a step and left the chaos of the Ninth Heaven, returning to the Eighth Heaven.
Before leaving, he saw two indistinct figures in this space-time, which did not seem illusory.
Awakening’s heart stirred. In the Ninth Heaven, the only real beings were the owner of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion and the Blood River Ancestor!
So, with a single step, Su Xing appeared in front of the Blood River Ancestor, whose memory had been restored.
Amidst his shock, Su Xing blasted out with a palm strike.
In an instant, the Blood River Ancestor turned into nothingness…
At the same time, a somewhat tarnished ancient little mirror floated up from his corpse.
“Eh?”
Su Xing let out a surprised sound, and after taking the little mirror and examining it carefully, his face changed slightly.
“One of the three great treasures of Chaos…the Mirror of Origin?”
Su Xing blinked, but he didn’t expect to have such a pleasant surprise.
“So the last of the Three Chaos Treasures has been in the hands of the Blood River Ancestor all along?”
“No wonder… The Adventist Church founded by the Blood River Ancestor has been able to exist for so long… This heritage is not bad!”
Su Xing put away the Primordial Realm and quickly figured out the power of this last Chaos Treasure.
“The Primordial Mirror… It actually has the ability to defy the heavens, drawing on the world’s primordial essence to strengthen cultivation, Daoist insights, and even other magic weapons?”
Su Xing was a little surprised at the power of the Mirror of Primordial Essence.
The three Chaos Treasures each had different functions.
The Mirror of Emptiness had the power to see the past and future, and could intercept future power and feed it back to itself, with infinite power.
The Luo Tian Mirror could replicate all things in the world, and could even control the speed of time inside and outside, truly a treasure that could start a school…
And this final Mirror of Primordial Essence was even more extraordinary!
This mirror was simply a universal oil…
By killing the world, it can directly draw the power of the origin from the source of the world, as long as there is enough origin.
Cultivating mana, physical strength, longevity… and even refining innate treasures with this mirror.
“No wonder. The Blood River Ancestor clearly was about to die tens of millions of years ago, but unexpectedly rose to power, not only achieving further success as a half-saint… but also founding the huge Adventist Church…”
Su Xiu mused.
It is not hard to imagine that this Mirror of Primordial Treasure may be what the alien race found and used to bribe the Blood River Ancestor.
But now, this treasure belongs to Su Xiu!
“Speaking of which, the abilities of the three treasures…they look familiar!”
Su Xiu raised an eyebrow, and the guess in his heart was further confirmed.
After casually killing the Blood River Ancestor, Su Xiu did not linger, and quickly found the owner of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion.
He then took him back to the eighth heaven.
“Proving the way through strength, and becoming holy in the flesh… Now I have become holy in both flesh and spiritual power…“
”It’s about time. Let’s try the final test…”
Su Xing murmured.
The timeline in the simulation was currently around 1,500 years into the future.
The five major realms had been completely invaded by the resurgent alien races, along with the appearance of the Sovereign Realm.
However, the human race had not yet been completely wiped out…
Not to mention that within Su Xing’s spiritual realm, there were still quite a few human seeds remaining.
Before entering the Ninth Realm, Suixian also reminded Bai Di and the others:
If the situation becomes too difficult to handle, they can prepare to temporarily take refuge in the Eighth Realm.
“Then…let the Eighth Realm be the final battlefield!”
…
After returning to the Eighth Realm, Suixian quickly found Bai Di and the others according to the previous arrangements.
After learning about the situation in the Three Thousand Realms, Suixian’s brows furrowed slightly.
The situation was even worse than Suixian had expected.
The more than ten main gods that were originally destroyed were completely dead.
However, the power of the alien races was greater than Su Xing had expected.
The Lord of the Void descended upon the five major realms a thousand years ago.
Along with him, more than ten peak main gods descended, each of which was no less powerful than the seven deadly sins.
What’s more, countless alien armies made a comeback and, within just a thousand years, reclaimed the five major realms.
With unprecedented strength, they indiscriminately destroyed the worlds and human races in the five domains!
In just a thousand years.
The human population in the five domains plummeted by more than 90%…
The number of worlds destroyed numbered in the tens of thousands…
The Qingyuan, Tianmo, Eastern, and Southern Barbarian Domains were once again occupied.
And decades ago, the Tianji Domain was also unable to hold on.
This time, Bai Di and the others did not choose to die defending the position.
Instead, several Great Luo Golden Immortals intervened, taking the world of Heavenly Mechanism along with the creatures of several nearby worlds and fleeing to the Eighth Heaven in order to seek a glimmer of hope.
However, that was all they could do.
The Void Sovereign returned to the Eighth Heaven with a new army of alien races and the main gods.
If they had not returned, the human race in the Eighth Heaven would have been completely exterminated within a century…
“Fortunately, there is still a chance for everything…”
“The key is whether, with my current strength, I can defeat the Void Lord and even the other lord behind him?”
Surging was a little excited.
Having broken through to the realm of the sacred in both body training and spirit cultivation gave him a lot of confidence!
So, with Surging taking the initiative to seek battle, the war broke out without any surprise!
Simulating the 1600th century.
Surging, in the Eighth Heaven, led the remaining human cultivators and launched a final counterattack against the alien forces.
In this counterattack, Su Xing had only one goal: to kill the Void Lord!
…
In the Eighth Heaven, Su Xing was followed by several Great Luo Jinnians and more than a hundred Taiyi Jinnians, which was the last of the human race’s strength.
At this moment, a huge crack appeared in the sky above the Eighth Heaven, and countless densely packed alien deities, which looked like ants from a distance, emerged from the crack.
“Finally, they’re here!” Su Xing muttered as he looked at the space crack.
The remaining humanoid strongmen behind him also instantly poured out and attacked the aliens.
Su Xing did not move. He still stood steadily in place, but his gaze was fixed on the aliens pouring out of the crack.
Those gods were not worth mentioning.
The main gods, and a few great Luo Jinyan, could deal with them.
His opponent was the only Void Lord among the aliens who had come this time.
Soon, Su Xing locked his sights on a humanoid existence.
He was just standing there in the sky, looking so ordinary that no one would pay any attention to him.
For a moment, their gazes met.
The moment Su Xing saw him, he was also seen by him.
Neither of them moved, for they sensed the unique pressure of a peer belonging to the same realm emanating from the other.
In the eighth heaven, the number of aliens pouring in was increasing, and each of them was a being above the level of a deity.
The power of the aliens was even stronger than Su Xing had imagined.
Even if he destroyed the vast majority of the aliens in the five major realms,
outside the five major realms, the aliens still retained many elites and a few of the most powerful beings.
Fortunately, thanks to Sui Xue’s advance arrangements, the human race also retained the vast majority of its fighting strength.
Among them were several Great Luo Jinnian, including the White Emperor…and the Master of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion!
He transformed into his true self, creating countless clones of himself on the battlefield, each possessing the strength of a deity.
Together with the eighty-one clones of the Taiyi Golden Immortals, the humans were not outclassed on this battlefield.
Seeing that the alien race was not as overwhelming as expected, the Void Lord in the sky could no longer hold back.
With just a slight wave of his hand, a force of nothingness enveloped the entire battlefield.
The eighth realm void law! This is the power of the Lord.
Meanwhile, Xu Hui also moved.
With his physical body, he confronted the void law!
With the Dao of Space, he blocked the power of the void!
With the Way of the Sword, he pointed directly at the true form of the Void Lord!
There was no fancy fighting technique, nor was there any desperate fighting technique.
In the face of absolute realm and strength, the only thing that could be compared was the foundation!
The instant his physical body came into contact with the void law, Xu Hui felt the surging power of the void engulfing his yuan force.
The speed of the devouring was too fast! The Void Law of the eighth realm had the power to instantly annihilate the entire world.
However, Sui Xian’s Yuan energy was too abundant. The ninth level of the Great Witch’s Body Forging Decision, the materialized Heavenly Primordial Divine Tree, had given him almost endless Yuan energy.
He could feel the Void Law devouring his Yuan energy, but with Sui Xian’s Yuan energy foundation, he was afraid that he could hold out for a long time.
“No wonder he is an old overlord, this Void Law is far more than just someone who has just entered the eighth realm…“
A thought flashed through Suixing’s mind.
The Void Overlord gave him a much stronger feeling than the Death Overlord Hongyue did at the beginning.
”However, this is still not enough…”
Suixing’s mouth curled up, he could feel that his overall strength was just a little beyond the Void Overlord’s.
This was because he was not just a sage, but a sage with a physical body and a proof of the Dao!
The ultimate destruction brought about by the Void Law has been resisted by the physical Yuanli.
“Next, it’s my turn…”
A thought crossed Su Xing’s mind, and his spiritual realm fully expanded at this moment.
The ultimate sword art was instantly enhanced, reaching the level of the Eighth Realm.
The sword light shot towards the Void Lord in the sky, but it was blocked by the Void Net woven by the Void Law of the Eighth Realm.
However, the sword momentum continued forward, and it eventually broke through the Void Net, injuring the Lord in the void.
The Void Lord in the sky let out a surprised expression. It had been a long time since He had been injured since He had reached the Lord realm…
However, there was more to do than just injuring him.
One sword, two swords, a hundred swords, a thousand swords…
At the moment, without any reservations, Su Xing poured the ultimate sword art towards the Void Lord in the sky.
Little by little, he eroded the Void Lord’s aura.
The Void Lord naturally resisted with all his might using the Void Law.
But what Sui Xue could do was not just swordplay, but also space, the Dao of Thunder, the Dao of the Five Elements…
More than ten Dao, all of which, with the blessing of the Spirit Realm, could reach the eighth realm!
And after reaching the realm of a sage or a master, both magical power and divine power had already reached their limits and could not be further improved.
The only thing to compete with was the power of the Dao laws!
Thus, the long battle continued.
This battle lasted for a full 400 years.
The entire Eighth Heaven was a sea of corpses and blood. Countless aliens had fallen to the ground, and the powerful humans had also died or been seriously injured in battle.
Surging was covered in blood, and his body had been unrecognizably eroded by the void law.
The Void Lord opposite him no longer looked as carefree as when they first met.
At that moment, Surging condensed his sword intent into a sword and pointed it at the Void Lord’s body, saying calmly,
“You, have lost!”
At the moment of life and death, the Void Lord did not feel much fear. Having reached his current realm, he may no longer know what fear is.
“I have lost…but my race has not!”
“Our race still has the greatness of eternity…You are very strong, but you will not be an opponent of eternity!”
After hearing this, Su Xing’s brows furrowed, and he said in a deep voice:
“What is eternity?”
The Void Lord sneered:
“Eternity, meaning immortal! No matter what method you use…you cannot kill him!”
“That’s right, a being above the Lord of the Void!”
After hearing this, Su Xing’s brows furrowed even more tightly, and he wanted to ask more.
But the Lord of the Void remained silent, only certain that the human race would definitely perish.
Su Xing didn’t believe it, so he drew his sword and used the ultimate sword technique to extinguish the Lord of the Void’s life.
After that, he destroyed the Lord of the Void’s godhood and annihilated the Lord of the Void’s divinity!
At this point, the alien race that had invaded the five major realms for countless years was destroyed by Su Xing’s own strength…
After slaying the Void Lord, Su Xing looked calm, neither happy nor sad.
His spiritual awareness spread like a tidal wave, and he saw the state of the Eighth Heaven.
The five major territories of the human race had all been destroyed, and perhaps in some hidden corner, there were still some cultivators clinging to life.
Throughout the Eighth Heaven, most of the human race who had fought in the war had died.
Including the White Emperor, the head of the Heavenly Mechanism, and others, they had also been seriously injured.
But at the moment, they wore smiles on their faces, because they had won!
Only Su Xun frowned slightly and muttered,
“This is not the ending I wanted…”
…
After the immersive simulation finally ended, Su Xun returned to reality.
His gaze fell on the simulation panel.
[In the 1,600th year, the human race and the alien race fought the final battle on the Eighth Heaven.
This battle lasted a full 400 years…
“In the 2nd millennium, you defeated the Void Lord single-handedly and the human race won!“
”But the price the human race paid was beyond imagination…“
”You know, this is not a perfect ending!“
”But this is the ending of the victory over the alien race.“
”In this way, time passed in obscurity for another 3,000 years…“
”During these 3,000 years, the human race has rested and recuperated, and the five major realms of the lower world have long since become even more scarce in spiritual energy due to the great battle, to the point where it is difficult to even give birth to cultivators.
“So, with the power of the world, you moved the surviving cultivators to the upper third heaven, and here you created a new immortal cultivation civilization.
“Until, simulating the first 10,000 years…”
“One day, a crack ripped open the peaceful eighth heaven…”
“An unnameable being appeared.”
“The instant you saw Him, you knew His name: Eternity!”
“So, the battle broke out.”
“Eternity is very strong, but it is not the most destructive force in the world…
“He can be injured and weakened, but his strength lies in his immortality!
”No matter how much you hurt him, he will never die.
“What is even more frightening is the number and level of the laws he masters, which are beyond your reach.
”Therefore, you have lost!
“And the price of defeat is the destruction of the entire human civilization…“
”Ding, this simulation is over!“
Back in the real world, Xiu Xing looked at the text in front of him and remained silent for a long time.
”Is there really eternal existence?“
”Immortal and indestructible…how can it be defeated?“
Xiu Xing took a deep breath and repeatedly read the text in front of him.
In the end, he came to a conclusion.
”Eternal, undoubtedly very strong…even, He has surpassed the realm of the Sovereign and taken another step forward!”
“But this step has not been fully taken after all…His existence should be akin to the ‘Way’ that was born countless years ago during the Pangu era!“
”Above the Sage…but not yet at the Dao realm!“
”And Eternity, He is also above the Lord, a realm that is not yet complete…“
”Initially possessing the eternal characteristics of immortality…but, does not possess a destructive power to match.”
Upon thinking of this, Su Xing let out a bitter smile.
“Even so, it is still an invincible existence… No, or rather, it can be defeated, but it cannot be killed!”
“Unless, I can surpass the realm of the Dao at that time…”
At this moment, Su Xing understood everything.
The Dao wanted to break through the heavens, and thus there was a realm above that of the sage.
Countless years ago, the Dao had initially explored this path for him.
That is, to fuse the Dao of the world. If one could fuse the Dao of the world into one’s own body with one’s own strength, one might be able to make further progress.
However, this is a realm that no one has ever reached before. Even the Dao of the Ancients has only taken one step.
“So, this realm is for the Dao Ancestor, right?”
“The Dao Ancestor is equivalent to the Eternal Realm of the aliens… As long as I can reach this realm, I will be able to defeat Him!”
Thinking of this, Sui Xiong’s heart was reinvigorated.
But it is not so easy to reach this realm.
The Dao has worked hard for countless years and has not achieved it.
The being from the alien race who calls itself the eternal being has spent countless years on it, but has only taken half a step.
“But… I’m different!”
“As long as I use the power of time, even if I gather the three thousand paths and achieve the realm of the Taoist ancestor, it is not impossible!”
The path ahead is clear, and next, I just need to focus on improving the way of time!
“As for the ending of this time… it’s not what I want!”
“Although I expelled the alien race, there were too many human casualties…”
“I must break through to the Dao realm before the time limit!“
Surging felt a stirring in his heart and used a massive amount of simulated energy to bring out all the rewards from this simulation.
In an instant, Surging’s realm completed its transformation, finally reaching the realm of the sage!
”Sage is just the beginning!“
”There is still the final… Dao realm!“
”Merging the body with the three thousand paths… Is this destined to be a long process…”
