Chapter 448 - 330: How Dare an Ant Aspire to the Heavens!? (Part 2)
Jiang Haiyu’s figure became majestic, transcending the concept of space in an instant, filling the cosmos like a peerless Divine King.
Xiang Wuji’s figure shrank infinitely, as if he were a tiny ant.
Yet it was this little ant that traversed countless immortal lights, his physical body continuously annihilating and resurrecting, perpetually pursuing the Immortal Venerable above the Nine Heavens.
Endless pain filled Xiang Wuji’s heart, but he ignored it completely.
............
Ningzhou.
Ordinary beings just felt their hearts skip a beat and then continued with their activities.
Only a small number of Great Powers looked toward the direction of Changzhou.
At the headquarters of the Ten Thousand Dao Alliance, within a certain underground space in the Ten Thousand Dao Super Large Cultivation Realm.
A twisted and deformed man was sealed and suppressed, his hair covering his head, yet a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Our destiny..."
"Is finally coming to an end."
He slowly lifted a chest that hadn’t been raised for millennia.
The entire Ten Thousand Dao Cultivation Realm began to gently tremble.
The iron pillars on the man were loosening.
"Undying Xuanyuan! Have you gone mad?!"
The Divinity Transformation cultivators of the Ten Thousand Dao Alliance arrived instantaneously, looking at Undying Xuanyuan with confusion.
"Hahahaha!"
The hearty and carefree laughter turned into demonic sounds, shattering countless woods and stones.
"My name is Undying Xuanyuan, not the Undying Bastard!"
The iron pillars were completely pried open.
The chains binding Undying Xuanyuan were broken.
He tremblingly took out a Jade Pendant.
The pure white pendant even had a trace of Bai Ze’s aura.
It was passed down by Xiang Wuji’s mother... and was given to his Dao Companion, Wen Xin, as a token of affection.
Undying Xuanyuan recalled a Wood Dao inheritor who had braved death to come here thousands of years ago.
That little girl.
"Xiang Wuji? From the Undefeated Demon Blood lineage emerges quite the character."
This pendant was steeped with Xiang Wuji’s aura and karma.
It was enough for him to lock onto Xiang Wuji.
The last iron chain was broken.
The Divinity Transformation cultivators of the Ten Thousand Dao Alliance had long taken action.
The vast Wood God Tree, the endless Immortal Divine Fire, the sky-reaching Sword Light capable of obliterating all.
Yet the divine techniques that previously couldn’t harm Undying Xuanyuan now left numerous scars on his body.
"Hahahahaha! I, Xuanyuan, should have perished long ago!"
"Lingering here, with no face to meet Elder Mara."
"Xiang Wuji, today let me lend you a helping hand, as befits my senior!"
A drop of exquisite blood spurted from Undying Xuanyuan’s mouth.
The blood traveled through space, along that thread of karmic aura, shattering space to arrive in a place full of immortal light.
And under the astonished gaze of the Ten Thousand Dao Alliance’s Divinity Transformation cultivators, the undying Undying Xuanyuan transformed into wisps of dust amid his wild laughter.
A peerless Great Demon had died.
Atop the highest peak of the Everlasting Sect.
A tall woman in a fiery red dress sat cross-legged on the Divine Tree, holding a longsword, quietly looking toward Changzhou.
"Xiang Wuji..."
............
"Xiang Wuji!!!"
"You are worthy of having your name remembered by this poor Daoist!"
The divine sound resounded majestically.
Anyone who heard these words would find their mind captivated.
Yet Xiang Wuji remained unmoved.
His form continuously revolved between annihilation and rebirth.
Like a wisp of blue smoke, he clung tightly to Jiang Haiyu’s aura.
Xiang Wuji’s head was reborn again, with black hair dancing wildly like an indestructible black fire.
Suddenly, Xiang Wuji opened his mouth, and a droplet of exquisite blood appeared before him, which he swallowed in a single gulp.
More primordial, more vast Undefeated Demon Energy appeared around him.
The Initial Demon Scripture reversed, and Xiang Wuji controlled all six great primordial Qi.
The faintly glowing immortal light continued to annihilate Xiang Wuji.
Despite the True Immortal’s power, the root of the Undefeated Demon Blood came from Mara, from that mysterious existence beyond the cosmos.
The Undefeated Demon Blood was quickly evaporating, but it sustained Xiang Wuji’s last breath, preventing it from extinguishing.
At last, a Great Power opened their eyes wide.
"He!"
"How is it possible?!"
"He is using Jiang True Immortal’s immortal light in place of the Nine-Nine Thunder Tribulation!"
"Jiang True Immortal acts in accordance with the heavens, wielding the might of heaven and earth with a True Immortal Qi, which perhaps really could replace the Thunder Tribulation!"
"The opportunity to ascend to immortality is present, coupled with immortal divine techniques that almost substitute for Thunder Tribulation..."
"How is it possible!"
"Madman!"
"An absolute madman!"
"In all the history of the Jiuzhou Cultivation Realm, never has anyone dared to ascend to immortality this way!"
The Divinity Transformation Nascent Soul cultivators with the qualifications to watch from afar all exclaimed in astonishment.
In a Pocket World across Endless Space.
The corner of Elder Tianhai’s mouth curled into a smile as he fished.
The blue sea waves transformed into the scene of Xiang Wuji fighting a True Immortal.
"This child, decent aptitude, only..."
Elder Tianhai calculated on his fingers, the blue sea turned into a vast Eight Diagrams.
"Why is the vitality still so faint... God-Demon List?"
A glint of essence flashed in Elder Tianhai’s eyes.
..................
"Xiang Wuji, you truly surprise me."
"If you let go now, I can allow you to become a War General under my command."
"The future may still hold a chance for ascension."
Jiang Haiyu remained calm, yet the gaze he cast at Xiang Wuji held a hint of appreciation.
As if he saw an extraordinarily clever cat or dog.
Still looking down from above.
Xiang Wuji, however, burst into wild laughter.
The six Great Primordial Qi around him reversed once more, surprisingly harnessing the Primordial Qi of Jiuzhou to transform again into Undefeated Demon Energy, reversing and then reverting once more.
But the Demonic Qi within was even purer.
That’s... the power of Immortal Demon!
The true opposite of Immortal, Demon!
"Jiang Haiyu, has no one told you that you are too arrogant!" Xiang Wuji’s smile carried a hint of madness, a trace of battle intent, a touch of arrogance.
The suppressed demon cultivator nature erupted entirely at this moment.
Jiang Haiyu sighed upon hearing this.
"A pity, too foolish." Jiang Haiyu reached out.
The eye in the sky suddenly radiated Divine Light.
A massive Scroll was about to unfurl.
It’s... the God-Demon List!
"Did you really think the one to stop you... is just me!"
"An ant dares to peer at the heavens!?"
The world seemed to hit a pause button.
"A pity, just a thread away!"
"Xiang Wuji’s entire state has reached its peak."
"The state of an ordinary True Immortal just having advanced isn’t much beyond this..."
"What a pity..."
The thought of pity flashed in the minds of some Perfect Divinity Transformation Cultivators around.
However, an invisible flame was blazing on Xiang Wuji’s body; it was his lifespan burning.
The last bit of the bottleneck burned away completely.
All the observers were stunned. Burning lifespan at this moment represents burning one’s foundation; burning one year of lifespan might imply losing a thousand years in the future, despite the saying that True Immortals live as long as the heavens and earth, there are limits in truth.
In doing so, Xiang Wuji signified that even if he broke through, he would not possess the abundant origins of an ordinary True Immortal, and further advancement would be impossible.
But... at this moment, if he didn’t, he couldn’t break through!
"If Immortals are unwilling for me to be so, I have no choice but to... become an Immortal Slayer!"
Magi Light shimmered on Xiang Wuji’s body as he paralleled the world.
With a grasp of his hand, the shattered Five Elements Grand Encompassing Smoke emerged from the world, morphing into the Demon Saber to slash forth.
Immortal Slayer!
"Arrogant, you dare to slay me?"
Before Jiang Haiyu could finish speaking, he saw Xiang Wuji throw out a storage bag, a bag ordinary enough for the level of a Golden Core Master.
The storage bag shattered, its contents too, leaving only a single stone.
Jiang Haiyu was perplexed.
The stone quickly dissolved, transforming into gas and liquid, merging into Xiang Wuji’s body.
"How is it possible, how can you have this item!?"
This was the second item given to him by Jing Xueqi.
The first was a white Jade Pendant, transforming into Six-Element Demonic Qi allowing Xiang Wuji to survive the deadly tribulation.
The second was this, Jing Xueqi intended it for use against Great Wei.
Now, it seems it was meant against... Jiang Haiyu.
In an instant, the space between Xiang Wuji and Jiang Haiyu became infinitely confined.
Even breaking the lock of the God-Demon List.
Xiang Wuji’s figure appeared somewhat thin, yet still stood upright like bamboo.
He held the Demon Saber in his hand.
The blade light flickered.
Immortal Blood... spattered across the Long Sky!
"Madman!"
"You’re a madman!"
"You were just about to become immortal! Why! Haven’t you always yearned for Immortal Fate!?"
"Why would you use this bit of power to drag me down with you!"
"Why!"
The True Immortal’s cries of rage and mourning resounded through the skies.
Immortal blood dripped down to the mortal world...
Demon Saber, Immortal Slayer!
