Chapter 581 - 565: The Great Battle_1
Demon Gao Mountain, located on the border between the Qin Dynasty Saint’s Court and the Ninefold Saint’s Court, was also not far from the Eternal Temple. Legend had it that this place was once a battlefield in the early Primordial Era, struck by a terrifying force and turned into a wasteland. Even now, life within a thousand-mile radius remained completely extinguished, and the area was rarely visited.
However, this mountain of death was now teeming with martial artists from all corners of the world, gathered to witness the upcoming Genius War. They were all curious who would emerge as the undisputed king of the younger generation: the accomplished young Qin Wudao, or the noble Soul Martial Ancestor?
"There are so many people!" a genius from the South Territory, who had come to watch the battle accompanied by an elder, couldn’t help but exclaim, looking at the endless sea of people.
"Witnessing the decisive battle of the continent’s strongest geniuses holds immense attraction for anyone!" the old man beside the genius said with a smile, stroking his white beard. His world-weary eyes also revealed a hint of anticipation.
SWOOSH!
At this moment, a black Spirit Boat flew in from the south. It was covered in countless crossbows, tens of thousands of them, glinting coldly, radiating a boundless killing aura capable of annihilating any invading enemy. A vast pressure emanated from the Spirit Boat, piercing the Void. It flew domineeringly towards the center of Demon Gao Mountain, forcing any martial artists encountered along its path to cough up blood and be sent flying.
"The War Demon Ship!" someone exclaimed.
"It’s the All-Demon Old Ancestor’s personal transport! I didn’t expect him to come!" Discussions rippled through the crowd. He was a first-rate expert of the continent; what interest could he possibly have in a Genius War?
BOOM!
BOOM!
BOOM...
Immediately after, more than ten other auras, each unparalleled and overwhelmingly powerful, descended. Imperial Might permeated the air, causing the very Void to solidify. Powers such as the Exquisite Holy Land, the Ice and Snow Saint’s Court, Saint Dragon Valley, the Heretic God Sect, and the Alliance of Ten Thousand Laws all made their appearance, like a dozen ancient God Mountains suppressing heaven and earth.
"So many powerful entities!"
Countless martial artists who had traveled thousands of miles to spectate turned pale. Under the pressure of so many experts, they felt like ants caught in a raging storm, liable to be crushed at any moment.
"Let’s go! This is no simple Genius War!" many of the more astute martial artists decided, beginning to retreat. They executed their movement techniques one after another, fleeing into the distance and vanishing from sight.
Indeed, watching the battle of the continent’s strongest geniuses held immense appeal, but their lives were more important. If an Emperor War were to break out, the mere aftershocks could annihilate them, leaving no trace behind.
However, many martial artists who refused to be deterred did not leave, merely retreating to a greater distance to observe.
Time passed, minute by minute, second by second.
「Finally, it was April 20th!」
Has it started? On the War Demon Ship, the All-Demon Old Ancestor stood at the bow, hands clasped behind his back, muttering to himself.
BOOM!
The sky collapsed!
Experts from the Qin Dynasty Saint’s Court and the Eternal Temple arrived almost simultaneously. Endless killing intent surged to the heavens, clashing fiercely and causing Demon Gao Mountain to tremble violently.
"Qin Wudao, hurry out and meet your death!" Soul Martial Ancestor declared. Without superfluous words, wielding a black war saber, he strode onto the summit of Demon Gao Mountain. His back was ramrod straight, like a blade peak, projecting an aura of invincibility.
Strands of terrifying Imperial Might erupted from him, reaching the Ancient Great Emperor Realm!
"The An... Ancient Great Emperor Realm! Such terrifying talent! Throughout history, there has likely been no other like him!" the surrounding martial artists gasped in succession. This dealt a heavy blow to many self-proclaimed exceptional geniuses, leaving them disheartened and lost for words, unable to recover for a long time.
Is he forcibly enhancing his strength?
"Fight!" Qin Wudao roared, brandishing the Xuanyuan Sword. He transformed into a golden streak of light, flying fearlessly towards Soul Martial Ancestor. His brilliant golden eyes radiated a world-shattering Imperial Might of terrifying proportions.
Although his Cultivation Realm was lower than Soul Martial Ancestor’s, realm alone did not represent true strength!
"Die!" Soul Martial Ancestor shouted. With a tap of his toes, he soared into the air, his war saber a blur as he swung it rapidly. The Great Dao Laws of the Void manifested, exuding an overwhelming power that made even the spectating Ancient Great Emperors palpitate.
Can he withstand it? The numerous experts from the holy lands looked towards Qin Wudao, a hint of worry in their eyes.
Many spectators looked at Qin Wudao with a hint of pity. In their view, Qin Wudao, possessing only an Emperor Realm cultivation, was no match for Soul Martial Ancestor.
The outcome of this battle seemed to hold no suspense. But was that truly the case?
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The two moved with incredible speed. In an instant, sword and saber clashed violently, generating a monstrous shockwave that annihilated dozens of miles of the Void.
In the ferocious aftermath, Imperial Dao Laws suppressed the world, and the Great Dao Laws of the Void reigned supreme.
Two terrifying powers remained deadlocked in the Void!
"Divine Skills, the Blade of Voidness!" Soul Martial Ancestor roared, eager for a swift end to the battle, as his Divine Body’s Divine Skills activated. "Divine Skills, Power of the Great Dao, empower me!" Above his head, a white Blade Qi condensed, capable of annihilating the Heavenly Universe.
This one saber strike transcended all creation! The Blade Qi descended, traversing the Void without leaving a trace, yet its supreme Great Dao power caused everything in its path to crumble into nothingness.
"Imperial Decree, All Under Heaven Shall Submit!" Qin Wudao declared. His expression turned slightly solemn. Imperial power surged from him, forming a majestic Imperial Phantom behind him. It stood high above, gazing down upon all beings, the sole sovereign of the nine heavens and ten earths.
Before this Imperial Phantom, heaven and earth must offer tribute, gods must bow, and all spirits must prostrate themselves! It was supreme and inviolable!
"Shatter!" a supreme voice issued from the mouth of the Imperial Phantom.
Instantly, all power within a radius of hundreds of miles—be it space-time, causality, Reincarnation, or laws—was commandeered by it, converging to utterly crush the Blade Qi.
What?! Soul Martial Ancestor was aghast, his eyes filled with terror. He had already fully utilized his Divine Body’s Divine Skills; why was he still unable to overcome Qin Wudao? What method must he use, then, to force out Qin Wudao’s true strength and compel him to use his Divine Body’s Divine Skills?
"Slash!" Qin Wudao said coldly. The Xuanyuan Sword in his hand flared with intense light. It exuded boundless Imperial Might that seemed to tear through Qiankun itself as he slashed down heavily.
BOOM!
The sky fractured, and a golden Sword Qi emerged, annihilating the Void and severing the Myriad Daos.
CLANG!
Sparks flew!
The black war saber was directly shattered!
Soul Martial Ancestor’s pupils contracted violently. Without a thought, he shot backward, narrowly evading the Sword Qi.
BOOM!
The Sword Qi, having missed its target, sliced through the ten-thousand-zhang-high Demon Gao Mountain as if it were tofu, cleaving it in half. The mountain then collapsed with a thunderous roar.
"GASP!" Every spectator gasped in unison. Is this still a young genius? Too terrifying! He’s on par with the peak experts from before the Eighth Era!
With a cold glint in his eyes, Qin Wudao launched another assault, intent on killing. The Xuanyuan Sword tore through the air, unleashing terrifying fluctuations. The sword light blazed, horrific to the extreme.
The might of this sword strike was such that even peak Ancient Great Emperors would have to evade its edge!
Only last month, he had used this very sword to shatter a Heavenly Tribulation!
If it struck Soul Martial Ancestor, death would be absolutely certain!
"Pavilion Master, shall we intervene?" Soul Bone secretly transmitted his voice, looking at the battlefield.
"Relax! Qin Wudao is destined to die!" Soul Heaven Emperor replied, shaking his head, his expression serene, without a trace of worry. He knew full well that a terrifying power lay hidden within Soul Martial Ancestor’s body. Once unleashed, even Ten-thousand-year Emperors would meet their doom.
