NOVEL NEXT Chapter 901: Dao follows the law of nature; Dao is ruthless, Refining the peerless heavenly medicine
Indeed, times have changed. Surprising that someone below the rank of an immortal emperor would dare to challenge me.
The faint smile on Gu Changge’s face faded away. Without much ado, he thrust his palm forward.
Once again, the world shattered, traversing universes as if piercing through dimensions. The colossal black hand obliterated the universe, reducing stars to mere specks of dust. Each move operated on the laws of heaven, containing profound Dao and cosmic principles. Even a seemingly casual palm harbored the potential to eradicate the world, leaving the heavens trembling on the brink of collapse.
Consequently, an eerie sensation enveloped all foreign land’s immortal kings under Gu Changge’s palm. Their faces contorted in horror as their very souls felt imprisoned. The relentless suppression of their laws left them paralyzed, unable to resist or even think about resistance.
“Fellow Daoist, your arrogance knows no bounds. I’m eager to witness your true strength,” Emperor Yi declared, a sudden change in expression revealing the anger beneath his previously composed demeanor.
As the current sovereign of the foreign land, commanding both heaven and myriad universes, being forced to bow before Gu Changge was an unbearable humiliation.
Without further words, Emperor Yi unleashed his might in this fractured universe. His overwhelming aura blanketed the sky, on the verge of collapsing the entire cosmos. Chaos energy surged around him, manifesting an existence originating from the very end of the time’s long river. Time fragments lingered around him, creating a scene where the blow reshaped reality’s same fabric.
Under this forceful strike, even an Immortal King would struggle to perceive the unfolding events. The surroundings descended into chaos, with the overflow of chaotic light hurtling towards the edges of the universe.
Hundreds of millions of foreign land’s creatures found themselves tightly suppressed, their very bones on the verge of shattering as despair engulfed them. In this intense confrontation, their existence was as inconsequential as dust – taking a breath could mean instant annihilation. The bodies of nearby Immortal Kings collapsed under immense pressure, blood splattering as they hastily retreated, fleeing across several universes.
If Emperor Yi had healed sooner, the Immortal Domain might have already shifted ownership.
A foreign realm boasting a quasi-immortal emperor in its midst is beyond the Immortal Domain’s capacity to contend with. Moreover, this foreign realm might conceal ancestors from other imperial clans. Even at present, they remain dormant.
Old Immortal King Gu Xuan, Immortal King Ao Di, Immortal King Ku Yin, and others from the Immortal Domain expressed their terror and shock. Even though several universes isolated the battlefield, the cold shivers ran down their spines.
It was the first taste of such profound despair for these Immortal Kings. On that battlefield, they would undoubtedly crumble and vanish, body and spirit annihilated.
They now comprehended why everyone under a quasi-immortal emperor, including Immortal Kings, seemed like ants. Crossing this threshold was an unattainable feat in their entire existence.
Amidst the exploding chaotic air, Gu Changge raised his palm, delivering another forceful strike. The virtual space erupted with infinite chaotic light, harboring supreme murderous intent. A profound silence settled over the universe, extinguishing the heavens and burying souls – the sheer terror of a quasi-immortal emperor’s might capable of shattering the very fabric of reality.
At the outset, an overwhelming surge of chaotic energy flooded the surroundings, nearly submerging the heavens and earth. Various Dao laws manifested successively, interweaving divine chains of order that blanketed the void.
Furthermore, once confined to tales, ancient natural disasters materialized – Heavenly Dao Fire, Chaotic Real Thunder, Nine Deadly Winds, phenomena witnessed only during the universe’s inception, now unfolding in every direction.
Any being beneath the quasi-immortal emperor level entering this realm would be gripped by terror, reduced to ashes, with life and death erased. This place transformed into a realm of death, the universe shattered, and laws dissolved into nothingness.
As they clashed for the first time, the void before them ruptured. Emperor Yi’s arm quivered violently upon contact, showing signs of bone fracture. Simultaneously, intense tingling pain and supreme murderous intent assailed him, targeting his soul.
“Die!”
Gu Changge, draped in white, strode through the void. Myriads of time fragments and surging Dao lights accompanied him, employing various supreme techniques to confront and eradicate his adversary with boundless strength. His unceasing palm descended, shattering all visions before him, crashing horizontally into Emperor Yi.
“You haven’t fully recovered your prime, not even an emperor. Why are you doing this?”
Emperor Yi roared, swiftly maneuvering across several universes, attempting to evade Gu Changge’s relentless attack.
In disbelief, he realized that Gu Changge’s cultivation had fluctuated yet had to reach emperor or quasi-immortal emperor levels. Nevertheless, the overwhelming power surpassed the world’s capacity.
Gu Changge hadn’t transcended this realm, so why was he quickly suppressed?
You acknowledge I haven’t regained my full strength. Otherwise, why would I bother to deal with you?
Gu Changge maintained his calm demeanor, casting a hazy road that influenced the world’s course. A collapsing river of time blurred scenes and summoned ancient visions.
Emperor Yi’s heart trembled. He would’ve never dared to engage if Gu Changge had been mighty in his prime. He should have fled as far as possible. However, Gu Changge lacked quasi-immortal emperor radiance, exhibiting no aura beyond this level. Yet, the suffocating power he wielded defied comprehension.
“Dang!”
The void trembled violently as a massive black bell materialized, creating shockwaves capable of obliterating everything. This Daoist weapon belonged to Emperor Yi, accompanying him for countless years that surpassed the status of an Immortal King’s artifact and ascending to the level of a Quasi-Immortal Emperor artifact.
The black bell could not block Gu Changge’s descending palm despite its prowess. The colossal black hand struck the bell, causing the river of time to boil. The battle’s aura rippled through the long river of time, affecting the past, present, and future with countless waves.
Emperor Yi’s expression shifted as the black clock on his person trembled violently, emitting billions of ripples. Despite its unceasing tremors, the bell was constantly struck. The ensuing black ripples were formidable enough to shatter time and space. However, Gu Changge’s palm obliterated them, causing an explosion that sent the Dao flying. Emperor Yi, coughing up blood, was forced backward.
This astonishing scene reverberated through distant universes. After an eternity, Emperor Yi bore wounds for the first time. Blood coated his shoulder and, subsequently, his exploded arm. Retreating rapidly, he felt deep terror, comprehending the immense gap between himself and Gu Changge. This disparity surpassed mere cultivation-based differences; their fundamental life levels were worlds apart.
The analogy was likened to an ancient giant, weakened from its past glory yet capable of effortlessly crushing an ordinary person or ant. This life-level transformation defied comparison to cultivation realm discrepancies.
Now aware of the colossal gap, Emperor Yi regretted his earlier decision. The remaining imperial clan ancestors opted to evade or conceal themselves. Some chose immortal slumber, abstaining from interference.
In the current era, Emperor Yi stood alone, believing the world had undergone significant changes, making the appearance of a genuine emperor impossible.
The quasi-immortal emperor was deemed the pinnacle achievable by living beings. Regardless of Gu Changge’s strength, surpassing this limit was implausible. Thus, Emperor Yi dared to confront Gu Changge directly.
However, regret welled up within him in light of the present situation. Sacrificing the black bell for protection, ripples spread, blurring the universe, and the long river of time materialized beneath his feet.
Without hesitation, Emperor Yi intended to escape, fearing severe injuries from Gu Changge that could jeopardize his essence and existence.
However, upon witnessing this sudden change in Emperor Yi’s demeanor, the immortal kings of the foreign lands were utterly bewildered. The influential figure who had recently commanded their surrender was planning to escape after clashing with Gu Changge.
Emperor Yi, the revered ancestor overseeing the entire foreign land, had been invincible from ancient times. It was inconceivable that another such formidable existence could emerge.
As expected.
Emperor Hong chooses to retreat, unwilling to intervene. He must have foreseen the inevitability and impossibility of altering this course.
Initially relieved to find a powerful ally, King Ming now experienced cold shivers, drowning in fear and despair. When he initially reported to the ancestor of the imperial clan, Emperor Hong, the response was a resolute acknowledgment of an unalterable destiny, emphasizing that the tide of events couldn’t be reversed.
Subsequently, King Ming fell into a deep slumber, indifferent to the current state of the world. Later, Emperor Yi unexpectedly revived, assuming control over the foreign land. All the immortal kings respected and followed his commands. However, in a sudden turn of events, Emperor Yi contemplated escape, seemingly disregarding the foreign land’s fate.
Gu Changge, observing Emperor Yi’s imminent departure, displayed a light smile. An extensive gray fog, exuding an aura of silence and darkness, seemed to waft from an unknown location, enveloping the entire world.
“Do you believe you can evade me?”
Gu Changge questioned as Emperor Yi neared the long river of time, attempting to exit the world. The vast gray fog, with stillness and obscurity essence, appeared to drift in from an enigmatic latitude, casting its shadow over the entire realm.
Under Emperor Yi’s feet, the long river of time blurred and crumbled, creating waves that quickly dissipated and thwarted his retreat.
“Is Fellow Daoist attempting to force me to die?”
Emperor Yi’s face underwent a drastic change. He had yet to anticipate that Gu Changge would also block his escape route. His eyes erupted with an immeasurable divine light, conveying a profound sense of terror.
While Emperor Yi harbored a deep fear of Gu Changge, he was not one to endure humiliation without retaliation. However, even the long river of time, a potential escape route, was now obstructed by Gu Changge.
Was this a deliberate effort to trap him, to eliminate any possibility of retreat?
“Attempting to use death as coercion? You are not qualified for such tactics.”
Gu Changge responded with a faint smile and a light shake of his head.
Emperor Yi discerned that Gu Changge truly intended to end his life. In response, he roared defiantly, his Dao avatar surpassing the world’s confines, resembling an ancient god standing at the universe’s extremity.
A renewed clash erupted between Gu Changge and Emperor Yi in a space and time unknown to the onlookers. Their battle reverberated along the long river of time, shocking even the mightiest beings of that era, causing shudders in their beings.
Boom!
With a resounding click, the universe here was torn asunder. Palms and fingers generated ripples that ruptured the world, unleashing an unimaginably dreadful shockwave. The turbulent ripples extended outward along a vast crack, splitting the chaos and giving rise to a new universe in the blink of an eye.
Such a method was beyond belief, terrifying in its execution. A battle of this magnitude had never been witnessed since ancient times, with beings in the immortal domain, foreign land, and other realms unable to fathom the spectacle.
Even the Immortal Kings could merely use their divine powers to gain a rudimentary understanding, unable to fully comprehend the unfolding events. The long river of time became turbulent, and years were ruthlessly crushed.
In this chaotic setting, their actual bodies and Dao avatar’s traversed the river, engaging in fierce combat. The divine powers exhibited at this level surpassed the imagination of the Immortal Kings, allowing them to fight in a realm beyond their era.
Ultimately, a shattered figure was expelled from the tumultuous battleground, exhibiting numerous injuries and drenched in endless blood. Emperor Yi’s condition was dire, with injuries covering his entire form and his arm completely obliterated.
This harrowing scene sent shockwaves through the distant universe, leaving witnesses in awe of its unimaginable terror.
Boom!
Gu Changge advanced with a step, covering Emperor Yi with his palm, resulting in a powerful explosion that shattered his form. At the same time, his primordial spirit was seized within Gu Changge’s grasp.
Even in his severely wounded state, especially with a critically injured primordial spirit, Emperor Yi growled defiantly, unwilling to succumb to death. This showcased the resilience of a Quasi-Immortal Emperor; even beings of the same level found it nearly impossible to deliver a fatal blow, and determining a victor might take countless epochs.
Buzz!
Is that so?
Gu Changge shook his head and smiled, his palm emanating a peculiar light. Initially appearing hazy, the light transformed into a gray hue with intertwining black and white threads, creating a bizarre spectacle.
Gu Changge extracted Emperor Yi’s primordial spirit. The luminance of the spirit resembled a scorching flame, exuding a rich fragrance of the Dao-building expert. Gradually, it became a heavenly medicinal plant, exuding an abundant and fragrant essence.
It has been refined into a peerless medicine.
The Immortal King, observing from a distance, trembled in terror. The horrifying scene of Emperor Yi’s true spirit being refined left him shivering.
Emperor Yi’s true spirit, still dissipating, experienced terror as it witnessed its refinement. He howled in a desperate attempt to break free, but Gu Changge’s palm seemed to have evolved into a universe. The way of a Dao-building expert, merciless and unyielding, descended like a cutting blade.
