Chapter 65: Three Witnesses on the Path to Enlightenment! Ultimate Ascension!
by xennovelBoom—
The entire Primordial World trembled! Mountains shifted, seas roiled, and at the ancestral peak of Kunlun Mountain, an epoch-defining battle was unavoidable! The Pangu Banner fluttered while chaotic sword energy slashed through the heavens. The God-Slaying Spear seared its mark into the world, and a mere flick of the Ancestral Dragon’s true form shattered the space around it. Hongjun and Luo Hou dared not confront it directly with their real bodies.
Kill!
Hongjun, with the Creation Jade Plate above his head, sat cross-legged on the Golden Lotus of Merit, advancing through the golden bridge of the Taiji Diagram towards Luo Hou! The Ancestral Dragon’s nine claws, like hooks, rent the sky with a swipe aimed at Hongjun, while Luo Hou’s God-Slaying Spear pierced through the void towards the Ancestral Dragon!
In the chaos of the three-way battle, the innate spiritual energy exploded! Three thousand laws descended, and the beings below couldn’t withstand the aftermath of the clash!
The remaining Dragon Shao and Little Loli hurriedly retreated, fearing they’d be obliterated by the shockwaves!
Wutian sat atop the Destruction Black Lotus, unable to interfere! This was a contest between supreme beings, far beyond the reach of others! With his cultivation, he would be pulverized by the residual energies if he stepped onto the battlefield!
The three warriors grew stronger as they fought, with the Ancestral Dragon’s towering form suppressing everything! All beasts honored the Ancestral Dragon! His divine power was as majestic as a mountain, his blessings as vast as the sea! The true might of the first powerhouse of the ancient tribes was fully revealed! The Ancestral Dragon roared, and a golden dragon orb radiated divine light, while Hongjun’s twelve-tiered Golden Lotus of Merit nearly crumbled under the pressure; it barely held its ground thanks to the protection of the Taiji Diagram.
The chaotic sword energy itself cut through time and space, targeting Luo Hou. Above him floated the Heavenly Demon Tower, a treasured artifact of the demon clan, invaluable and versatile, but insufficient to counter the Pangu Banner.
Luo Hou was engulfed by the sword energy, his hair whipping chaotically while the God-Slaying Spear was stained blood-red! The Ancestral Dragon’s true form revealed gaping wounds as the spear pierced through!
Immortal blood, demon blood, dragon blood splattered across the landscape, merging into three great rivers of blood. Any other Golden Immortal-level beings who accidentally touched this blood were instantly cut down by the murderous aura contained within!
Black-red clouds of destruction hung in the sky as demons, dragons, phoenixes, and Qilin descended from all corners, heedlessly rushing in. Ancient powerhouses seemed to lose their senses as they fought frantically, forgetting their own lives! The calamity was now reaching its most fervent peak!
Wutian, Dragon Shao, and Little Loli huddled in the shadows, trembling with fear. Having lived in a peaceful city, they had never witnessed such an epic battle! It felt like the world itself was about to shatter!
At that moment, Dragon Shao and Little Loli realized how insignificantly small they were. They had always looked down on the creatures of the Primordial World; yet, when faced with the true might of its powerful beings, they felt like mere ants!
Meanwhile, viewers on the forum were not only shocked but also thrilled. Such a battle that shook the heavens was more exhilarating than any special effects in a big production! After all, no matter how outstanding movie effects were, they were still fictional. This Dragon-Han War was undeniably real! Some even felt sorry for the multitude of players who had perished, leading to the current restrictions on entry.
“Before, I thought it was such a pity that game items couldn’t be brought into reality. If only we had the aid of the Primordial immortal artifacts, the real world could embrace a new era of cultivation! Seeing this showdown between the three big shots, I genuinely realize how fortunate we are. If they stepped foot on Earth, they could probably shatter planets with a wave of their hands!”
Others agreed, realizing that against such world-destroying powers, humanity’s strongest weapon was utterly useless! At home, Jiang Ping chuckled, feeling an immense energy surge into him. The pages of Genesis flipped rapidly, vibrant white light flashing continuously, while intricate laws flowed from the pages.
The calamity provided more than just energy; it also brought the most profound laws. Jiang Ping closed his eyes, feeling his physical limits easily surpassed.
His soul unified, and his spiritual fire illuminated the sea of his consciousness. A doll significantly smaller than Jiang Ping appeared in his mind, and a powerful energy began to circulate autonomously within his body.
Jiang Ping felt that he might now rival a celestial-grade primordial spirit, soaring through the skies with ease! A smile crept onto his lips: “As expected, great investments yield great rewards! This epochal calamity has shattered the limits of a mere mortal frame!”
Jiang Ping’s gaze returned to the battlefield of the Primordial World, where the epochal calamity had not yet concluded. There was still more to come!
Though, a hint of worry flickered within him: “I hope these three powerhouses don’t destroy the world in their battle. The Primordial World has invested heavily!”
In Jiang Ping’s eyes, Hongjun, Luo Hou, and the Ancestral Dragon were growing stronger as they battled, their life-and-death contest forcing them to unleash their full potential!
They were the most intelligent beings in the Primordial World, with one as the Daoist Ancestor who founded the prosperous celestial path and created the laws of three corpses.
Another was the Demon Lord who seamlessly intertwined his clan’s teachings, fully excavating the desires lurking deep within the hearts of beings.
The last was the strongest of the ancient tribes, revered by all. His overwhelming true form suppressed the world, capable of rivaling the finest innate spiritual treasures!
At this moment, the three had completely surpassed the realm of the Great Luo Golden Immortal! They were advancing towards the saintly realm!
Boom boom—
The life-and-death clash of these three titans caused the very earth of the Primordial World to quiver. The Unzhu Mountain, formed from Pangu’s spine, emitted creaking sounds, as if it couldn’t bear the burden any longer!
“Die!”
With a fierce shout, Luo Hou stabbed the God-Slaying Spear towards the Ancestral Dragon while simultaneously the weakened Four Swords to Vanquish Immortals merged into one, striking at Hongjun in a sneak attack!
The Ancestral Dragon’s starry eyes flickered with divine light. With a flourishing tail, the entire Primordial World seemed to tremble. The God-Slaying Spear could no longer press forward; even with the Heavenly Demon Tower’s protection, Luo Hou was sent sprawling to the ends of the world!
Seeing an opportunity arise, Hongjun’s eyes gleamed. The golden bridge of the Taiji Diagram locked onto the Ancestral Dragon’s true form. Standing atop the Golden Lotus of Merit, he vigorously shook the Pangu Banner, unleashing torrents of chaotic sword energy towards the heavenly ruler.
He aimed to decapitate the Ancestral Dragon!
In this life-and-death moment, as the Ancestral Dragon’s true form was restrained, a golden dragon orb seemed to leap forth as if breaking through the barriers of time and space, instantly colliding with Hongjun! Hongjun’s expression shifted dramatically; the Ancestral Dragon’s orb arrived too quickly, and his twelve-tiered golden lotus began to blossom, yet in the blink of an eye it shattered.
Even the Golden Lotus of Merit began to wilt—this was the Ancestral Dragon’s ultimate attack! In that moment, boundless spiritual light burst forth from Hongjun. These were the countless treasures he had collected! Hongjun wielding the Creation Jade Plate had incomparable insights into the Dao, said to be unrivaled in the Primordial World. How could he not know about any precious treasures? Countless artifacts like the Hunyuan Golden Dipper, the Celebration Cloud of the Heavens, and twenty-four Sea Calming Pearls stood as shields against the Ancestral Dragon’s orb. Yet even with such lavish defenses, the orb started to decelerate.
The Ancestral Dragon dared not take risks and hurriedly recalled the orb. Hongjun’s face paled; that last blow had been exceptionally perilous! Fortunately, he had deep magic power and could activate so many treasures in an instant.
Before Hongjun could catch his breath, a Sword of Vanquish Immortals struck again. Hongjun’s grim visage blocked it, sacrificing his corporeal body! The fragmented Creation Jade Plate began to turn, and the Dao’s three thousand laws manifested around Hongjun’s body. In that instant, Hongjun’s divine light soared as three thousand laws flickered in his gaze, booming out: “Friend, if you don’t strike now, then when?”
In an instant!
A figure clad in ordinary grey Daoist robes emerged from within him, with his most stubborn obsessions cleaved away by Hongjun!
As the Creation Jade Plate spun, an aura of saintly Dao enveloped Hongjun! With the jade plate’s assistance, having slain the three corpses, Hongjun almost became a saint on the spot! Luo Hou and the Ancestral Dragon’s expressions changed dramatically; gritting their teeth, they began to unleash their lifelong Dao skills! Tremendous magic power surged forth!
They also began to strive for ultimate ascension! “Master, if you don’t take action now, when will you? Killing is the path to the Dao!”
Wutian’s voice rang out from below. Luo Hou’s entire body erupted with potent energy, laughing boisterously:
“Indeed, disciple! If I don’t emulate the great Pangu in splitting heaven and earth and carving the demon realm, then when will I?”
Zzi zzi!
The God-Slaying Spear stood firm. Boom! Luo Hou’s demonic form instantly shattered, transforming into an obscure formation! The Four Swords to Vanquish Immortals spun relentlessly. At this point, the calamity had reached its peak, and the Primordial space teetered. The three thousand laws became chaotic; Luo Hou had dared to imitate the great Pangu, seeking to create another realm! If he failed, it would mean his death!
If the demon realm failed to be formed, Luo Hou would be immediately countered by the path of creation, with no opportunity for reincarnation! However, Hongjun had already begun to seek enlightenment. Should Hongjun become a saint, death awaited Luo Hou! Witnessing Luo Hou’s desperate efforts, the Ancestral Dragon’s enormous eyes scanned the tumultuous Primordial World.
At that moment, the world’s spiritual veins roiled, vitality stirred, and countless beings went insane. The internal and external spiritual energies became jumbled, and their primordial spirits were overwhelmed by uncontrollable magic energy.
“In the end, this calamity initiated by our three clans is the reason for the whirlwind of world energy!”
The Ancestral Dragon closed his divine eyes, making a resolute decision.
“I, the Ancestral Dragon, shall merge with the Earth today! I willingly transform into the dragon vein, suppressing the land and regulating the Primordial energy!”
A grand voice echoed throughout the Primordial World as the Ancestral Dragon’s colossal form expanded once more!
In that moment, he was like a god dragon encircling the world. After the Ancestral Dragon’s true form enveloped the Primordial World, its body—capable of rivaling the finest innate spiritual treasures—started to glow and dissipate, merging into the very earth of the Primordial World! The Ancestral Dragon had united with the Dao!
Luo Hou carved out the demon realm! Hongjun unified with the Heavenly Dao!
At this instant, the three top powerhouses of the Primordial World simultaneously embraced the path of enlightenment, beginning their ultimate ascension! Below, Dragon Shao and Little Loli stared, utterly dumbfounded; they had never anticipated these three big shots would possess such audacity.
Should their path to enlightenment fail, they would be forever trapped, unable to reclaim even a shred of their souls! They would vanish from the path of the Dao, ultimately facing eternal tribulation! Meanwhile, in the forum, as netizens speculated on who would prevail, they too looked stunned; the three top powerhouses were attempting to enlighten the Dao together! “Good! Good! Good!”
Jiang Ping exclaimed thrice from home, gleefully gulping down his happy drink. “I’m not afraid of your Dao enlightenment; I’m just afraid you’re not strong enough!”
Since I enjoy happy drinks, so does the protagonist. Anyone have comments? If there are opinions, I won’t write about the protagonist drinking cola anymore. (Wuu wuu~┭┮﹏┭┮ Does that mean I have to be deprived of this tiny bit of joy?)
