Chapter 347 - 299: 12 Strongest of the Perfect Law Realm Perfection, 4 Directions 8 Paths Formation, 3-Headed 6-Armed Dharma Form
BOOM!
A massive explosion rocked the heavens and the earth. Xu Qing’s Level 10 Cangzhou Dao Bell, imbued with traces of the Power of Rules and fused with his own strength, was further augmented by the Mighty Power of his Sixteen-layered Law Domain.
One could say...
...the resulting Mighty Power was already invincible within the Fourth Realm. It had even begun to evolve traces of the Power of Rules, which was the source of its immense strength.
However.
The Dragon Vein of the Great Zhou Martial Country was terrifying in its own right. Now, it was infused with Zhou Di’s Mighty Power and further bolstered by the Sacrificial Dao Power of the Sacrificial Dao Array.
Their head-on clash was a pure collision of Power, devoid of any fancy techniques. It was a raw confrontation of Law against Law, Rule against Rule.
RUMBLE!!!
In the end.
Xu Qing’s Level 10 Cangzhou Dao Bell was sent flying, and the True Dragon formed by the Great Zhou Martial Country’s Dragon Vein was blasted away as well. The collision was an even match.
Clearly.
Zhou Di had also reached a level of invincibility within the Fourth Realm.
It was just that...
...Xu Qing was even more terrifyingly powerful. His Cultivation and Realm were only at Soul Law Realm Perfection. If he could reach Perfect Law Realm Perfection and add a powerful Magical Treasure to his arsenal...
...then...
...Xu Qing would surely be able to defeat Zhou Di, surpassing the level of "invincible." It wasn’t even out of the question that he would gain the terrifying ability to fight those in higher Realms.
"This is trouble."
Xu Qing took a deep breath, his expression turning grim. He truly hadn’t expected Zhou Di to be this powerful, or that he would have laid out a ’Sacrificial Dao Array’.
Now.
’Even if I go all out, I probably can’t defeat Zhou Di, let alone break the Sacrificial Dao Array. It looks like I won’t be able to obtain the Dragon Vein of the Great Zhou Martial Country.’
"Zhou Di, you are cruel and wicked! Not only did you slaughter the entire Royal Family, but you also conspire to use all living beings in the Nine Provinces Land as a blood sacrifice—as fuel for your breakthrough to the Fifth Realm! You are no longer fit to be Emperor; you are no longer even fit to be called human! You have lost all humanity!"
"Zhou Di, you have walked the path of a Demon Fiend!"
"We will never let you succeed!"
"..."
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!!!
At this moment.
On the Imperial Court.
And around the battlefield.
Figures charged into the fray one after another. They were the civil and military officials of the Great Zhou Martial Country. Each one possessed the power of the Fourth Realm, and several had even reached the Perfect Law Realm.
At this moment.
They had joined forces.
"Hahaha..."
Zhou Di laughed, looking down upon them all from above. "You are not qualified to judge me," he said. "In my eyes, you are all just ants."
"Of course."
"Slightly larger ants."
"Zhou Di, you have disregarded all morality! Your crimes are punishable by death!"
"Zhou Di, your conspiracy will never succeed!"
"..."
BUZZ! BUZZ! BUZZ!!!
Just then.
In the Void above the Great Zhou Imperial City.
Space began to twist, and one after another, vortexes like wormholes appeared. From within these vortexes, powerful figures emerged.
Among them...
...were the Master of the Great Zhou Martial Sect, the Master of the Great Zhou Hidden Daoist Sect, the Great Zhou Buddhism Master, the descendants of the Great Zhou Confucian Saint, and even the Strongest of the Demon, Demon, and Deceit paths. All had revealed themselves.
"JYEH HEH HEH..."
A sinister laugh echoed.
Then.
One terrifying tentacle after another appeared, like those of a colossal deep-sea octopus, but its true body remained hidden behind a thick, deceitful mist, preventing anyone from seeing it clearly.
At that moment.
Even the Fengdu Deceitful King had appeared.
A total of twelve figures.
Every one of them had reached Perfect Law Realm Perfection. Each was one of the Strongest in the Nine Provinces Land of Great Zhou Martial Country, standing at the very pinnacle of power.
Now.
They had all revealed themselves.
Besides them.
There were many other experts. All who had reached the Fourth Realm traversed the Void, crossing vast distances to descend upon the Great Zhou Imperial City.
Xu Qing’s gaze swept over the scene.
Besides the twelve Strongest who had reached Perfect Law Realm Perfection, the number of other Fourth Realm experts who had successively appeared had already reached three hundred and eighty-nine.
This group included...
...practitioners of the Dao, Immortal, Buddha, Confucianism, Martial, Demon, Demon, and Deceit paths—eight different ways in total. All the experts from across the Nine Provinces Land of Great Zhou Martial Country were present.
CRACK! CRACK!
An overwhelmingly powerful aura spread out.
All around.
The space could not withstand it and began to shatter.
"Just as I thought."
Xu Qing’s eyes glinted as he looked around and mused, ’Zhou Di’s Sacrificial Dao Array isn’t just for the blood sacrifice of the common people and the Human Race of the Nine Provinces Land. It’s meant to sacrifice every living being within the borders of the Great Zhou Martial Country—all who are enveloped by the array.’
’Naturally.’
’That includes the Demons, Demons, and Deceitful beings.’
’Everything and everyone will become an offering, used by Zhou Di for his ’Sacrificial Dao,’ which could also be called a ’sacrifice to the heavens.’ As long as this sacrifice succeeds, he will receive a boon from the heavens, allowing him to break through into the Fifth Realm.’
’The heavens...’
Xu Qing looked up, his gaze profound, as if trying to pierce through the clouds and countless obstacles to stare directly at the heavens. But he could only see white clouds and a blue sky.
’So.’
Xu Qing pondered, ’Are the ’heavens’ that Zhou Di is sacrificing to... the Celestial Realm?’
After all.
Xu Qing had previously learned from Ye Langtian about a much vaster world. He knew that this world was called the Profound Yellow Realm, and it was divided into the Earth Realm, the Human Realm, and the Celestial Realm.
Beyond the Profound Yellow Realm...
...was the Sea of Chaos. Within the Sea of Chaos were countless worlds, countless universes, and countless spaces. The Profound Yellow Realm was but one of them.
However.
It was also one of the most powerful.
One could say...
...the Profound Yellow Realm was one of the main strongholds of the Human Race.
"So, you’ve all come."
Zhou Di’s expression was calm, without a hint of panic. The appearance of so many of the Strongest, as well as the other Fourth Realm experts, did not fluster him in the slightest.
It was as if everything was under his control.
"Very well."
Zhou Di said, "Then I shall be the one to send you on your way."
"Kill!"
Zhou Di’s gaze was frigid. With a battle cry, he took the lead and attacked, channeling the Sacrificial Dao Array and empowering himself with its Sacrificial Dao Power.
"Come and fight!!!"
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!!!
The next moment.
A fierce battle erupted.
"Kill!"
"Infinite Celestial Venerable."
"Amitabha Buddha."
"JYEH HEH HEH..."
All around.
The twelve Strongest who had reached Perfect Law Realm Perfection took the lead in surrounding and attacking Zhou Di, while the numerous other Fourth Realm experts joined forces to deploy the ’Four Directions and Eight Paths Formation’.
As its name implied...
...the eight different paths of Immortal, Demon, Dao, Buddha, Confucianism, Martial, Demon, and Deceit had cast aside their past grievances and united at this moment.
One could say...
...this ’Four Directions and Eight Paths Formation’ was remarkably similar in principle to Xu Qing’s ’Sixteen-layered Law Domain’, but even more powerful.
"KILL!!!"
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!!!
Before their eyes.
The ’Four Directions and Eight Paths Formation’ had condensed, combining the Power of the numerous Fourth Realm experts. It ultimately manifested a ten-thousand-meter-tall Three-Headed Six-Armed Dharma Aspect that charged toward Zhou Di.
ROAR!!!
A dragon’s cry echoed.
With a thought, Zhou Di mobilized the Mighty Power of the Sacrificial Dao Array, commanding the True Dragon formed from the Great Zhou Martial Country’s Dragon Vein to combat the Three-Headed Six-Armed Dharma Aspect.
BANG BANG BANG!!!
All sorts of explosions resounded continuously.
"Haaa..."
Xu Qing took a deep breath, his eyes taking in the entire battlefield. He then looked up at the Sacrificial Dao Array, his expression growing ever more solemn. ’To think...’
He was utterly shocked.
Because.
Xu Qing had discovered something. As the ’Sacrificial Dao Array’ continued to operate and time passed, more and more living beings were being sacrificed, and the array’s Mighty Power was growing increasingly terrifying.
Therefore.
Zhou Di could siphon even greater Power from the Sacrificial Dao Array.
In other words.
The longer the battle dragged on, the stronger Zhou Di would become. The experts who had rushed here from all over the Great Zhou Martial Country had no way of killing him quickly.
More to the point.
Zhou Di was simply too powerful. He was already at Perfect Law Realm Perfection, practiced Immortal and Demon Cultivation, and was now augmented by the Power of the Sacrificial Dao Array. He was truly ’invincible in the Fourth Realm’.
"Huo Yuanjia, we ask for your assistance."
At this time.
The Master of the Daoist Sect, Canglingzi, shouted loudly.
"Alright!"
BOOM! BOOM!
With a thought, Xu Qing took a deep breath and no longer hesitated. He shot into the battlefield, joining forces with the twelve Strongest who had reached Perfect Law Realm Perfection—the Master of the Daoist Sect, the Master of the Martial Sect, the Great Zhou Buddhism Master, the Fengdu Deceitful King, the Demon Lord, the Demon Lord, and others—to besiege Zhou Di.
"Die!"
DONG! DONG! DONG!!!
Xu Qing unleashed his full power, holding nothing back. All sorts of powerful Divine Techniques and moves rained down upon Zhou Di, with the Level 10 Cangzhou Dao Bell crashing down suppressively time and again.
"Unrivaled Sacrificial Dao!"
RUMBLE!!
However.
Zhou Di was far too strong. With the aid of the Sacrificial Dao Array, every time he was beaten half to death, he could absorb the Sacrificial Dao Power and recover almost instantly.
He practically had an immortal body.
"Hahaha..."
Zhou Di laughed maniacally. He stood in the Void, looking down upon all living things as countless rays of light rained down. "You cannot kill me! I am immortal and indestructible!!!"
"Sacrifice the Heavens!"
BUZZ! BUZZ!
Zhou Di let out a long howl to the sky. Unbeknownst to them, the Sacrificial Dao Array had begun to change. Countless Array Patterns turned purple-gold. "I am the Sovereign!"
"AHHH!!!"
...
「Nine Provinces Land.」
Countless agonizing screams rang out.
As the Mighty Power of the Sacrificial Dao Array intensified further, it was no longer just ordinary people and creatures being sacrificed to the heavens. Even First Realm Martial Artists, Qi Refiners, Daoists, Demons and Monsters, and others could not withstand the Sacrificial Dao Power. Amidst blood-curdling screams, mists of blood gushed from their seven orifices and were absorbed into the Sacrificial Dao Array.
