Chapter 720: Chapter 498: Immortal Slaying Sword Formation! Oppressing the Tao Realm!_2
After a brief moment of stillness.
"Hmph!"
"Today, I’ll grant you a reprieve. When the Heavenly Emperor truly awakens, that shall mark the end of days for you remnants!"
The figure presiding over the Nine Heavens snorted coldly, then returned to its divine throne. The illusory projection emanating from the Nine Heavens gradually faded away.
The great sun above instantaneously collapsed and contracted, transforming into a black dot, before completely vanishing into the chaotic heavens.
Before the illusory projection of the Nine Heavens dissipated, the figure seated upon the divine throne sneered: "You’ve brought out the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation—can you still suppress those comrades who’ve fallen into ’demonic’ states?"
"Do not spend years guarding against my Heavenly Court, only to lose to your own people and become an object of ridicule."
As the final words fell, the illusory projection dimmed to its extremity.
And at this moment.
Whoosh!
A streak of mysterious light burst forth from the fading projection, hurtling directly toward the Daoxing Heavenly Venerate.
"Rise!"
The Daoxing Heavenly Venerate seemed well-prepared. With his right hand forming a sword gesture and a low shout from his mouth, the Sword Array surged, sending beams of sword light imbued with legendary might to swiftly obliterate the descending streak of mysterious light.
This surprise attack ultimately had no effect on the Daoxing Heavenly Venerate. A displeased cold snort echoed across the chaotic void, and the illusory projection of the Nine Heavens completely disappeared.
The battle that began with the Heavenly Court’s siege of Qin Zheng and ended with the Tao Realm standoff finally concluded peacefully.
The near-transparent form of Qin Zheng gradually became more real as the battle ended. There was no longer a need for him to flee.
With a calm expression, the Daoxing Heavenly Venerate waited for several breaths without any further changes. He then waved his hand to retract the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation and descended, coming before Qin Zheng once more.
At the same time, the great sun above swiftly descended, retracting its aura, and revealing the figure within the sun who landed beside the Daoxing Heavenly Venerate.
Qin Zheng immediately stretched out both hands, respectfully clasped them in salutation, and spoke earnestly: "Junior sincerely thanks the Heavenly Venerate and Senior Shi for their assistance!"
The Daoxing Heavenly Venerate needed no elaboration, while the other Tao Realm Great Power was none other than Shi Jingxuan—the old Daoist who, within the Sea of Rules, had previously sought to seize Qin Zheng’s Myriad Dao Body.
Back then, due to lack of experience and insight, Qin Zheng truly believed that Shi Jingxuan was merely a suppressed and sealed wandering soul, unaware that he was instead a suppressed and sealed Tao Realm Great Power!
After his escape, Shi Jingxuan initially reverted to the appearance of a youth, but now, for unknown reasons, he had again taken the form of the elderly Daoist seen in the Sea of Rules.
His gaze swept up and down Qin Zheng before he slightly nodded and smiled warmly: "Not bad! Not bad!" fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm
"During the battle that day, I believed you relied on the Primordial Chaos Position I gave you to prove your Tao. It was only later that I learned, through Daoxing, that you proved your Tao with your own Great Luo Divine Treasure."
"Now, merely ten or so years have passed, and you’ve already advanced from the initial stage of Primordial Chaos to the Upper Realm Chaos. Such progress is frighteningly swift."
He paused briefly, his eyes flickering subtly, then laughed again and continued: "With your pace, it’s possible you may surpass the progress of your Myriad Dao Body incarnation and achieve the legendary realm even sooner."
Qin Zheng smiled lightly and replied: "I still owe gratitude to Senior for showing mercy back then."
The Myriad Dao Body, a fusion of countless rules, matures into Primordial Chaos and is further deemed by the Merit Scroll as "Mastering the Myriad Dao Body, achieving supreme roots, and proving the legendary realm!"
Yet, after the disappearance of the Sea of Rules, Qin Zheng temporarily lost an extraordinary place to nourish the Myriad Dao Body.
Luckily, he later obtained the Haotian Mirror. With its power, he found a place in the Chaos Sea similar to the Sea of Rules, placing the Myriad Dao Body there to nourish and mature.
Nearly ten years had passed since, and the Myriad Dao Body had become fully Primordial Chaos, now progressing toward the legendary Tao Realm.
Shi Jingxuan chuckled lightly, extended his finger toward Qin Zheng, and said: "You cheeky boy, are you mocking me?"
At the time, trapped and unable to escape his seal, Shi Jingxuan had sought other methods of liberation, planning to seize another’s body with his Divine Soul as a last resort. Qin Zheng’s Myriad Dao Body was his most coveted target.
However, upon encountering Qin Zheng and subsequently the Daoxing Heavenly Venerate, circumstances shifted. Freed from the seal through serendipity, he no longer had any desire to seize another’s body.
As a legendary great power, seizing another’s body would mean abandoning his hard-earned Tao cultivation and restarting his cultivation journey from scratch. The process was not only tedious but fraught with uncertainties.
Qin Zheng merely smiled, saying nothing. The Shi Jingxuan of that day was an enemy, but the Shi Jingxuan of today was an ally and battle companion. Moreover, the latter had just acted on Qin Zheng’s behalf, resolving certain karmic ties.
The Daoxing Heavenly Venerate also smiled faintly at this point and said: "This place is exposed under the Heavenly Court’s scrutiny. Let us return and discuss matters leisurely."
Qin Zheng nodded, though his gaze drifted toward the nearby Primordial Cave Heaven.
If they left, this Great Realm would surely fall into the hands of the Heavenly Court. Though bereft of significant Divine Artifacts, there was no guarantee the Heavenly Court wouldn’t send Primordial Chaos experts to vent their frustrations on the realm’s spirits.
Noticing Qin Zheng’s attention, the Daoxing Heavenly Venerate offered a gentle smile: "Rest assured, this Primordial Cave Heaven will come with us as well."
With these words spoken, the Heavenly Venerate turned his gaze toward Shi Jingxuan, who immediately nodded and extended his hand toward the Primordial Cave Heaven.
Before Qin Zheng could perceive anything, he saw the Primordial Cave Heaven, suspended in chaos, rapidly shrink within view.
Within mere breaths, the vast Great Realm condensed into a pearl-sized sphere, gently falling into Shi Jingxuan’s palm.
"Take it."
Shi Jingxuan passed the sphere to the Daoxing Heavenly Venerate.
Qin Zheng marveled at the sight.
Unlike the previous Tao Realm confrontation, Shi Jingxuan’s gesture this time emanated no detectable mysterious power or special aura. The Primordial Cave Heaven simply seemed to shrink automatically at his casual motion.
Is this the power of the Tao Realm?
As Qin Zheng’s cultivation advanced to higher realms, he became increasingly aware of the immense strength residing in these upper realms.
In the past, during his ’weaker’ days, he had relied purely on his own power to slay demons, overcome adversity, and triumph against greater odds—all without needing Divine Weapons.
Yet now, as his cultivation deepened and his foundation grew broader, battles increasingly necessitated the aid of the Three Pure Ones’ Divine Artifacts.
Today’s confrontation revealed the formidable power of the Tao Realm, solidifying Qin Zheng’s deliberations.
The Tao Realm’s might was far beyond what Divine Weapons could counteract!
Even if the Daoxing Heavenly Venerate had relied on the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation to repel the Heavenly Court’s second Tao Realm Great Power.
Qin Zheng knew the opponent wasn’t frightened into retreat but simply deemed the scenario unnecessary to further pursue.
The opponent’s earlier words—"You’ve brought out the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation—can you still suppress those comrades who’ve fallen into ’demonic’ states?"—
Already revealed their intent to wear down figures like the Daoxing Heavenly Venerate methodically and gradually, akin to frogs in slowly boiling water!
They weren’t in a hurry!
Qin Zheng’s thoughts surged within.
At this moment, the Daoxing Heavenly Venerate held the Primordial Cave Heaven in one hand while gently patting Qin Zheng’s shoulder with the other, speaking warmly: "Let’s go."
Qin Zheng snapped back to reality and nodded deeply.
The so-called ’demonic’ comrades were likely entities polluted by the Pollution Qi!
The Daoxing Heavenly Venerate and his companions lacked the ability to purify the Pollution Qi but were unwilling to slaughter their former comrades, leaving no choice but to temporarily suppress them.
Although the Haotian Mirror had been within the Daoxing Heavenly Venerate’s possession for millions of years, its previous incomplete state could only slay polluted entities, not cleanse the Pollution Qi.
With Qin Zheng’s arrival, all these issues could now be resolved!
Whether through the now-complete Haotian Mirror or the Merit Scroll, both were nemeses to the Pollution Qi!
Moreover, compared to the Haotian Mirror’s ability to expel Pollution Qi, the Merit Scroll could even refine the Pollution Qi into Tao Origin Qi, fueling Qin Zheng’s progression!
Having slain numerous Primordial Chaos forces of the Heavenly Court in this battle, Qin Zheng had accumulated a vast amount of Merit Treasure Crystals. Purifying the Pollution Qi next would bring yet another tremendous boost!
Countless thoughts flashed through his mind.
Qin Zheng immediately followed Shi Jingxuan and the Daoxing Heavenly Venerate, traversing the void and departing from the battlefield.
