Master of Strange Dao

Chapter 1699 - 458: The World as My Enemy—I'll Beat You to Death

At the seabed boundary of the East Sea, a line of stark distinction appeared.The seabed on the East Sea side was dark and desolate, with cold waters; the seabed still had a sediment of a large amount of dust, the remains left by various living beings after their demise, returned to the earth.

Beyond that line, the seabed at first glance was also barren and desolate, with no living beings to be seen.

But the seabed on that side exuded an absolute dead silence; other than the seabed, there was nothing but death.

It seemed as though the seabed itself was entirely dead compared to the East Sea side.

The ocean bed above diverged greatly from the East Sea.

You Zhen stepped upon it, clearly feeling the extremely faint circulation of the earth's energy here.

Moreover, this faint circulation of the earth's energy was due to the recent transformation, borrowing from the East Sea's energy, to have any activity at all.

You Zhen had an epiphany, slowing down his pace slightly.

With each step, he moved forward, guiding the earth's energy along with him, starting to spread from the seabed toward the depths.

The circulation of worldly earth's energy was directed into the deep sea seabed, which had just formed order, activating it from its state of dead silence and linking it with the East Sea.

Step by step, You Zhen moved, as though stepping into a lake of dead silence, the ripples he carried spread in a wide-angled cone behind him, continuously dispersing outward.

You Zhen glanced upwards, where chaos persisted, distinctly different from the seabed.

The area was still forming, merely filled with infinite seawater.

He could sense a vast amount of strange entities lurking within the undetermined chaos above and below.

He ignored those creatures, as the aura and power he radiated were enough to instill a hint of wisdom, compelling them not to provoke.

You Zhen moved step by step from the seabed to the center of the deep sea's new continent.

He gazed at the floating Old Emperor Qian, suspended at the center of the new continent, silently, his stature incrementally expanding with each step, forming a colossal true body after nine steps.

Old Emperor Qian stood immobile, with a thought, the ten thousand techniques rushed forth, transforming thousands of miles into a turbulent realm.

You Zhen progressed with his true body, enduring all powers, like advancing through water, his pace not swift but extraordinarily steadfast, unwavering.

The myriad techniques battered against him like tidal waves pounding an unmovable embankment, mountainous and steadfast.

Despite the tempest and torrential rain with the strength of ten thousand tons, it remained as immovable as a mountain.

"It's futile to exert effort, you who have absorbed the Ancient God's essence and embarked on the Ancient God's Dao.

You naturally understand how the Body Refining Technique was derived, Qi Refining cultivator, without the extremes in any direction, is now useless against me."

Old Emperor Qian nodded, unsurprised, he no longer wished to continue probing with the Tenth Tier Qi Refinement strength.

He shook himself, directly manifesting the Ancient God True Body.

An archaic and majestic aura emerged, as two colossal giants on the new continent began to clash.

In an instant, divine lights mixed chaotically, the aura swirled into a violent storm, only the immense power was apparent amidst the tempest.

That turbulent force forcibly obliterated everything, making it impossible to see or hear.

The yet-to-be-stabilized new continent bore the brunt of all.

As time passed, the orderly earth's energy, carried by You Zhen, began circulating on the new continent, increasingly stabilizing it.

The aftereffects start blending into the chaotic depths, further intensifying the turmoil.

At this moment, a stalemate began.

...

Three enormous shards landing on the Three Divine Dynasties were respectively dealt with by the Three Divine Dynasties themselves.

But the subsequent matters had just begun.

The situation on Daqian was especially awkward, silence dominated.

For everyone knew those three shards were Old Emperor Qian's doing.

The new emperor's sacrifice shackled Old Emperor Qian, saving the dying world from entirely collapsing into the present.

Also avoiding, after breaking, letting most see the final meteor shower of destiny.

Yet now, matters were far from concluded.

Old Emperor Qian transformed back into the current Emperor Qian.

Moreover, he was maniacally planning to directly annihilate the other Three Divine Dynasties.

If those three massive shards were to crash upon the ground, Daqian's populace wouldn't expect to be happily observing from the sidelines.

The resulting chain reaction, the people of the other three dynasties would die mostly first, and Daqian's populace would die slightly later, with over half accompanying in the initial impact.

If their interests were unharmed, or only interests were affected, many in Daqian might endure it.

But now, the emperor was blatantly reckless, unrestrained, intolerable, utterly unacceptable.

The courtiers remained silent, none speaking of preparations to welcome the emperor.

Even amid the fierce internal struggle of the Jinyi Wei, silence prevailed, with many among them resting and slacking, not discussing welcoming His Majesty.

The increasingly intense factional fights within Daqian had calmed down.

The courtiers beforehand locked in mortal combat now privately sat together for tea.

They started contemplating upcoming matters.

Earlier, some even hoped Dazhen's shard would descend.
