Chapter 941 - 710: Abyss Path
"Cultivators of the Tenth Realm can wield not just a single Law, but can effortlessly grasp any Law within any Path, mastering them without a teacher." The old orange cat explained in a low voice.
If the first nine realms are about advancing along a branch of a Great Dao, then the Tenth Realm is the End of Dao.
The Abyss Will, being the embodiment of Heavenly Dao, is an incarnation of the Great Dao itself. Yet now, Gongsun Bai'an has forcefully seized the power and authority of the Abyss Will, successfully ascending to the Tenth Realm!
"I may not know what method this guy used, but I do know that Gongsun Bai'an has succeeded now." The old orange cat, sensing the gravity of the situation, pressed his forehead anxiously, pondering a solution.
It is sheer fantasy for an ordinary Cultivator to seize the authority and power of the Heavenly Dao, let alone under the complete control of the Abyss Will over the Abyss Continent.
These Abyss Cultivators are born from the Abyss, with the Abyss's imprint within them from birth. With a single thought, the Abyss can cause instant demise to any Cultivator who resists.
"Just making wedding clothes for someone else..." Chen Hua clenched his fist and sighed inwardly.
"What about Mystical Mechanism? Can it block Gongsun Bai'an?" Liang Yi, remaining calm and unaffected by the current tense atmosphere, asked the old orange cat.
Gongsun Bai'an, having reached this point, must have planned for a long time. Since he has already succeeded, pondering over it further is futile. It's better to find a way to solve the problem.
In Liang Yi's view, although Gongsun Bai'an has ascended to the Tenth Realm, Mystical Mechanism Heavenly Dao on their side is also of the Tenth Realm cultivation, so it doesn't make sense that they are helpless.
"Mystical Mechanism Heavenly Dao is no match..." The old orange cat looked up at the now pale-faced Mystical Mechanism and shook his head bitterly. "Normally, the power of the Abyss far surpasses that of the current Mystical Mechanism Heavenly Dao. Previously, Mystical Mechanism could face the Abyss head-on only because you have weakened the Abyss Power countless times since the war broke out, suppressing the Abyss to a level that Mystical Mechanism could handle."
Liang Yi remained silent, knowing the old orange cat was right.
Since the war broke out, he had received various tasks related to the Abyss, each completed task either directly or indirectly weakening a portion of the Abyss Power.
Previously, the Abyss was in a heavily negative state when confronting Mystical Mechanism, and even then, Mystical Mechanism needed their support to feel a bit easier. If Mystical Mechanism were to face the Abyss one-on-one, it's uncertain who would win.
But now, with the Abyss nearing its downfall, its power and authority have all been seized by Gongsun Bai'an, and his task rewards' suppression targeted the Abyss, not Gongsun Bai'an.
"What does your task to suppress the Abyss have to do with me, Gongsun Bai'an?"
So now, even if Gongsun Bai'an isn't in the Abyss's peak state, he should have seventy to eighty percent of that power, which is more than enough to crush a weakened Mystical Mechanism Heavenly Dao.
"Why is there such a vast difference in power? Wasn't the Abyss split from Mystical Mechanism?" Su Youyi looked confused, wondering how the separated power could now surpass the original.
"I had a premonition after the failure of the First Epoch War that, if we did not kill the Abyss Will completely, it would eventually escape, even if sealed. So, I expended great amounts of Heavenly Dao Origin to reincarnate myself, hoping to find someone who could completely kill the Abyss." The old orange cat fell silent, then explained slowly after a moment.
"Reincarnation for the Heavenly Dao isn't easy, so I used an immense amount of power to succeed. And now, the current Heavenly Dao was reborn from the remnants of my power, considered a nascent Heavenly Dao, which is why its power is so weak."
Others found nothing unusual in this explanation; Su Youyi and Chen Hua found nothing wrong, but Liang Yi felt something special about it.
When the old orange cat was still the Mystical Mechanism Heavenly Dao, the first Epoch War failed. Therefore, the distant Heavenly Origin Will extended a helping hand, deciding to assist the old orange cat, leading to his arrival.
Facts proved that calling him over indeed changed the course of world history. Without his arrival, this era's Mystical Mechanism Continent would've long become food for the Abyss.
But after he arrived, the Mystical Mechanism Cultivators continually grew stronger, and under various tasks' effects, the Abyss got continually weakened. Now, they've even directly attacked its lair. If it weren't for the sudden change with Gongsun Bai'an, they would've already ended the conflict by now!
The tremors in the heavens and earth subsided, but a sudden sense of crisis surged within Liang Yi's heart.
Clang—
Without thinking, Liang Yi swung his sword behind Su Youyi, striking the void as if clashing against a piece of extremely hard mysterious steel, sparking along the way!
"Oh? Quite a quick reaction..." A teasing voice emerged as Gongsun Bai'an descended elegantly from the sky, bare-chested and smiling, looking at Liang Yi and the others.
Before anyone could respond, Gongsun Bai'an moved his fingertips slightly, and a powerful pressure suddenly rose, instantly crushing Liang Yi and the others from mid-air deep into the earth!
"Is this the power of the Tenth Realm, the authority to manipulate the world?" Gongsun Bai'an laughed heartily, his lips curling with wanton delight, relishing the overwhelming force surging within him.
