Chapter 949 - 714: Sword Dao, None but Me!
The silhouetted figure disappeared, and the presence in the Sea of Consciousness vanished completely.
If Liang Yi could detect a trace of anomaly in the Sea of Consciousness before, now he was certain there was nothing else left here.
Liang Yi looked at the warm glow floating before his eyes, clouds swirling in his gaze, pondering in his heart whether what the Heavenly Origin Heavenly Dao said was true or false.
The purpose of Heavenly Origin was simple. When he initially told Uncle Ju, who was still the Heavenly Dao, that his goal was origin power, it was the truth, so Uncle Ju naturally believed him.
So much so that when Uncle Ju told Liang Yi the truth, it led to Liang Yi being misled until later he gradually realized the discrepancies.
There's no such thing as a free lunch in the world; any unexpected good intention will generally have a purpose.
The Heavenly Origin Heavenly Dao used "transmigrators" as a means to help the various worlds in the Void. While harvesting the World Origin, more importantly, it nurtured those transmigrators.
If they died, it didn't matter, as long as one could grow up, Heavenly Origin would profit greatly.
The question of what's more important between immediate and long-term interests is self-evident.
"Sigh, there's indeed some trickery involved." Liang Yi sighed softly, reaching out to grasp the light cluster in front of him.
In truth, Liang Yi didn't feel any aversion towards the notion of having his fate manipulated, because all Heavenly Origin had really done was bring him to the Mystic Mechanism World and give him a system. Everything else resulted from Liang Yi's own actions.
This was no longer a game world. Death meant no rebirth, nor was there a second chance; thus, everything was merely Liang Yi's own choice.
As for Heavenly Origin, Liang Yi didn't bear any resentment. It was simply dissatisfaction with Heavenly Origin for not telling him the truth and for the condescension on the part of the other.
However, given the opponent's formidable strength, able to dominate countless worlds in the Void, there was indeed no need to care about the opinion of a small person like him.
"Such a Heavenly Dao would naturally not lie." Liang Yi's gaze gradually firmed, his grip tightening.
Heavenly Origin was correct that just relying on Junior Sister alone could not defeat the current Gongsun Bai'an, but it would be different with him added.
He ascended to the Tenth Realm with the Disruption Domain as his foundation, the transformation enough to shock anyone!
The players, as projections from Heavenly Origin, arrived in the Mystic Mechanism World, hence they wouldn't die, capable of easily reviving, and the system was the permission to open the Mystic Mechanism World, also serving as the beacon of this world.
Now he had the authority, and the origin power as well, Liang Yi took a deep breath, silently chanting in his heart:
"Upgrade!"
The expanse of ocean-like Experience cleared instantly from Liang Yi's task panel, the light cluster representing authority shattered, transforming into long golden threads enveloping Liang Yi!
The Sea of Consciousness below rippled, transforming into towering waves within an instant!
A violent wind surged around Liang Yi, his green robe rustling loudly!
This advancement was different from any previous ones, Liang Yi did not receive any insight from the system.
Previously, whether for vitality or realm breaking, Liang Yi would receive vast insights from the system, and these would come so naturally as if they were the results of Liang Yi's own cultivation.
If Liang Yi's guess was right, this power should be the mighty power of Heavenly Origin, he just didn't know if it was Time Law or something else.
But upon this single ascension to the Tenth Realm, although Liang Yi felt his power rapidly rising, his realm showed no change.
"Is it that the Tenth Realm is different from before, such that even Heavenly Origin cannot intervene in cultivators ascending to this realm?" A vague guess formed in Liang Yi's heart, and he calmed down, slowly injecting Origin Power into the Disruption Domain.
Meanwhile, in the outside world, Gongsun Bai'an sneered, clutching Uncle Ju's neck tightly with his right hand, lifting him high and yanking him close:
"Don't you like to hide? Try hiding now?"
Though Gongsun Bai'an's body was covered in terrifying scars, as long as the origin wasn't hurt, even serious injuries were minor.
Yet, having caught this "little mouse" that kept hopping around, Gongsun Bai'an was quite pleased!
"Ugh..." Uncle Ju was choked tightly, unable to make a sound.
With a slight movement of Gongsun Bai'an's fingers, crimson flame nails emerged from the void, tearing through the air with a shrill sound, and slammed into Uncle Ju's body.
The intense pain made Uncle Ju's eyes widen sharply, yet even with the Abyss Demon Flames scorching his Divine Soul, causing his soul to tremble, Uncle Ju stubbornly suppressed his instincts, not uttering a sound.
The strong feeling of suffocation surged in his heart, Uncle Ju barely opened his eyes a sliver, disdainfully looking at Gongsun Bai'an.
If he hadn't just temporarily entered the Tenth Realm, exhausting his strength after a brief struggle, would this guy want to catch him? It would still be a long wait!
"Still got some toughness there!" Gongsun Bai'an sensed the disdain in Uncle Ju's eyes, coldly sneered, suddenly raising two fingers, at the tips of which wind blades floated, slowly aiming at Uncle Ju's pupils.
"That look of yours... I really dislike it..."
Gongsun Bai'an's fingers slowly approached Uncle Ju's pupils, his grin broadening, a delighted smile on his lips.
"If your screams are louder, I don't believe Liang Yi and the others won't come out!"
At the Tenth Realm, Uncle Ju could transform his body into the purest Law Body, even losing limbs didn't matter, but now Uncle Ju's origin power was nearly exhausted, his realm regressing back to the Ninth Realm.
At this point, Uncle Ju no longer had the power to regrow limbs at will, every injury he suffered would remain.
Moreover, Gongsun Bai'an had no intention of giving this guy an easy death!
"Dream on...!!" Uncle Ju's eyes remained defiant, utterly scornful of Gongsun Bai'an's attempt to use him to threaten Liang Yi and the others.
If I utter a sound, then you call me grandpa in return!
"It's not up to you!" Gongsun Bai'an's eyes grew cold, he had a myriad of ways to make Uncle Ju wish for death!
But just as Gongsun Bai'an wreathed in Abyssal Breath, preparing to gradually extinguish the vitality in Uncle Ju's eyes, he suddenly felt his fingertips go cold, then lost all sensation.
Two blood-stained fingers fell, and Gongsun Bai'an stared blankly at the fingers that were just there.
In the next moment, the right arm that held Orange Master broke, and Orange Master quickly freed himself, shook off the fur messed up by Gongsun Bai'an, and quickly fled!
Gongsun Bai'an gritted his teeth, and just when he wanted to turn around and obliterate Orange Master into nothingness, he felt the world spin around him, and everything kept rotating.
He saw his own body, and he saw his body being shattered into pieces by an invisible Sword Intent!
The last vision he had, Gongsun Bai'an saw in the distance a crimson-eyed girl stepping forward.
Beheading with one sword could not kill the present Gongsun Bai'an. Even if there were nothing left but his head, or if he were cut into pieces with nothing remaining, as long as the world did not perish, and the Law did not extinguish, he would not die.
Abyss Demon Qi gathered, re-manifesting Gongsun Bai'an's body as he gritted his teeth, staring at Su Youyi who was coldly observing him. That aura was unmistakable.
The Tenth Realm!
At this time, Su Youyi was imposing with awe; an ethereal white Sword Intent intertwined around her, her white dress as pure as snow, exuding an unattainably cold beauty!
With each breath, the wind and clouds moved, space was no longer a barrier, and Sword Intent no longer required active control.
Whether on the Mystical Mechanism Continent or the Abyss Continent, all Sword Cultivators felt it in their hearts, their longswords trembling.
Once, Sword Dao was the Dao, the lifelong pursuit of every Sword Cultivator. Every Sword Cultivator sought tirelessly on the path of Sword Dao.
But now, there was someone who leapt beyond the Sword Dao, instead using the Sword Dao of the world through the ages as her sword.
Worship was no longer enough; only submission could reveal the Dao's majesty!
The figure of Su Youyi jumped out in the hearts of Sword Cultivators across the world!
Su Youyi is the Sword Dao, the Sword Dao is Su Youyi!
"So you were secretly plotting to have the Mystical Mechanism give all the Origin Power to you..." Gongsun Bai'an gritted his teeth, a feeling of being tricked rising in his heart.
He initially thought Orange Master was stalling for time because Liang Yi and Su Youyi were preparing how to escape from here, so he toyed with Orange Master with a cat-and-mouse mentality.
After all, regardless of how Liang Yi and the others tried, they could not escape from his grasp. Torturing the former Mystical Mechanism Heavenly Dao to death bit by bit in front of Liang Yi was what he enjoyed.
But unexpectedly, Liang Yi and the others weren't thinking of how to escape; instead, they were planning to counter-kill on the spot?
"The authority was clearly with the orange cat. How did you advance to the Tenth Realm with only the Origin Power?" Gongsun Bai'an was puzzled, this was the thing that most surprised him.
The reason he dared to play cat and mouse with Orange Master was that he knew clearly, with only the Origin Power, one couldn't advance to the Tenth Realm. He knew this all too well.
Back then, because he lacked the authority of the Abyss Continent, he dared to design an adventure to replace the Abyss Will, to become the Heavenly Dao!
But now Su Youyi had slapped Gongsun Bai'an's face with the facts.
Facing Gongsun Bai'an's doubts, Su Youyi only gave a cold smile, like the cold snow of the Tianshan, and then countless ethereal white sword shadows rose!
"!"
Gongsun Bai'an was alarmed, forming hand seals with his ten fingers, summoning the Post-earth, creating a realm of Post-earth above his head!
Endlessly heavy earth will gathered. Gongsun Bai'an used the earth as his shield, trying to fend off the inexplicable crisis in his heart!
The next second, with a stroke from Su Youyi's finger, the Heavenly Vault Sword fell like rain!
Countless Sword Intents densely smashed towards the heavy earth, marking sword marks on the earth, hundred and thousand zhang sword marks vowing to pierce through the earth!
But the Post-earth was already endless, and now, under Gongsun Bai'an's support, it gained astonishing defensive strength. Even under pressure, not a single Sword Intent could penetrate this land and reach Gongsun Bai'an.
Seeing this, Su Youyi slightly furrowed her brows, then gracefully clenched her plain hand!
The sword rain stopped, countless Sword Intents condensed into a massive sword, covering the sky!
Vast sword shadows enveloped Gongsun Bai'an's heart, the overwhelming Sword Qi seemed to tear everything apart.
In a trance, Gongsun Bai'an seemed to see all the world's Sword Cultivators striking a sword at him!
Su Youyi's one sword was the one sword of the world's Sword Dao!
The Post-earth cracked, and with just one Law, Gongsun Bai'an couldn't withstand Su Youyi's sword, representing the world's Sword Cultivators, but he had more.
"Blood Moon!"
Behind the Post-earth, the Blood Moon shone!
Killing intent burst forth, even though Gongsun Bai'an was caught off guard by the sudden appearance of Su Youyi at the Tenth Realm, after buffering with the Post-earth, he realized it.
Su Youyi's strength was actually inferior to his!
Realizing this, Gongsun Bai'an felt much more at ease. Previously puzzled by how Su Youyi could advance to the Tenth Realm with just Origin Power, now seeing Su Youyi's Sword Dao, he understood.
Su Youyi's authority was precisely in controlling the Sword Dao, which wasn't much different from controlling the world's Heavenly Dao!
Without the unknown, Gongsun Bai'an had no more concerns. Facing Su Youyi, whose overall strength was worse than his, Gongsun Bai'an launched a counterattack!
While the Sword Dao was strong, it was strong in assault. Continuous defense would only lead to passivity, so Gongsun Bai'an needed to change his status from passive to active.
The moonlight scattered crimson, eerie light, shaped like a full moon disc, spinning rapidly like a millstone, annihilating everything in the void near the full moon!
Carrying the annihilating power that could extinguish everything, Gongsun Bai'an's moon collided with Su Youyi's sword representing all Sword Cultivators!
