Novel Full Chapter 1160: Xuanyuan
Five people, six Daos, and a peerless body cultivator—this was meant precisely to match Yu Cheng’s former status as master of six Daos and Dao-Proving Saint Immortal.
“So that’s how it is.” Yu Cheng smirked.
“Yu Cheng, do you still not understand?” Wu Antian yelled. “All this is the will of the heavens; all things have their reason. The heavens arranged people to deal with you, possessing all that you once possessed: our six Daos against your six Daos, and my Saint Body against your Immortal Arts. All has its cause, all has been decided by the heavens…”
“‘All has been decided by the heavens’?” Yu Cheng’s eyes erupted with divine light. “If the old heavens really can decide so much, then what do they need you for? There would never have been a Yu Cheng or Fake Sky, let alone today’s battle! If the heavens have a mind, it is in no way omnipotent and omniscient, or else all of this never would have occurred! I was Immortal Emperor in the past, and I will be Immortal Emperor in the present! Anyone who opposes me must die! You think the plans of the old heavens are so great? That the five of you together can oppose me? Then let me see how your six Daos deal with my twelve Daos!”
He spat out a mouthful of blood and bellowed, “Separate!”
The blood turned into thousands of Yu Cheng, the Reflections of Floating Life.
Of course, the Reflections of Floating Life used by Yu Cheng was many times stronger than Tang Jie’s version. The clones Tang Jie could create had only been at the Soul Transformation level, and they had a time limit.
Yu Cheng’s clones, on the other hand, were all at Soul Projection. Not only that, Yu Cheng activated the Infinite Palace, and all the clones entered the palace so that they only needed to focus on offense.
The thousands of Yu Cheng clones began to bombard his foes with spell arts.
Theoretically, the gap between Soul Projection and Gold Immortal was still too big for them to pose much of a threat.But just who was Yu Cheng? If he was doing such a thing, there had to be a reason.
As these clones appeared, there was a storm of swords and blades, the Ten Extinctions Blade and the Skyrend Swordfall! Although each clone could not use Dao Arts, as clones, they had comprehended Daos and could use a little of the Dao, similar to Gu Daocheng. Their effect was not obvious in the past, but Yu Cheng was a genius, and those twenty years of wandering had not been spent in vain, but on constantly thinking of ways to grow stronger. One of these ways was that of uniting numerous clones to unleash the Skyrend Swordfall and Ten Extinctions Blade. Only a Gold Immortal with a deep understanding of the world was capable of such a feat.
The thousands of clones united their Dao Wills to unleash Dao Arts, magnifying the power of their offensive by a hundred times.
This furious attack made Wu Antian its first target.
The tyrannical power of the Great Dao slammed into Wu Antian’s Starcrush Cudgel and instantly blew half of it away. Before Wu Antian had time to mourn the loss, that flood blasted into him and sent him flying once more. If the Dao Arts created by the clones hadn’t been weaker than those of the original, then even Wu Antian and his peerless body would have been turned to dust.
Even so, Wu Antian was injured, and Yu Cheng gave chase. The Sage Mother of the West flew over, relying on her Twin Karma Lotus to make herself into a shield against Yu Cheng. Yu Cheng used Nearby Horizon to jump past her and appear behind Wu Antian. Just when he was about to strike, the distance between him and Wu Antian suddenly became infinitely long. Realizing that this was Gu Daocheng’s doing, he chuckled, “Time to test my Dao of Time.”
A moment later, everyone’s actions slowed to a crawl.
The Split Second Youth used by Yu Cheng was also many times stronger than Tang Jie’s, its range so large that it could affect all his opponents. With Gu Daocheng’s Silk Brocade World no longer able to interfere, he was finally able to strike Wu Antian, and as his palm pressed down, Wu Antian’s body began to crack like a withered tree.
He yelped and continued to fall back, but Yu Cheng refused to let him go. “Hurry up and die already.”
With another Nearby Horizon, he appeared behind Wu Antian and thrust out his palm again. This time, the Ageless Child charged in, entangling him in Fate. While he had not intervened much yet in this battle, this Fate entanglement was not to be underestimated. Through the Dao of Fate, he manifested the majestic will of the heavens, and while this might have meant little to others, it was a most effective weapon against someone resented by the heavens such as Yu Cheng.
The might of the heavens almost paralyzed Yu Cheng, and every movement required enormous effort on his part.
But Yu Cheng was unafraid, raising his head and saying, “The Heavenly Dao? If Heaven is a lord, then I am King! My merits outshine my sovereign, causing it to exile me to foreign lands, where I formed my own faction that does not fear even the Heavenly Dao. Even if you serve as regent, acting on behalf of the will of heavens, you are nothing more than some eunuch official! And you dare try to intimidate me? Seeking death!”
These last two words resounded in the Ageless Child’s ears, making his entire body tremble and weakening the Fate entanglement. Yu Cheng then took out a golden book, the Wish Granting Book, a vessel for the Dao of Fate.
As Yu Cheng cast his gaze on the golden book, characters began to appear in it. It was only for a brief moment, so quick that nobody could read what they said, and then a golden page burned away and the might of the heavens was greatly weakened.
Yes, it only greatly weakened but did not vanish.
But this weakened might could no longer restrain Yu Cheng, and he once more chased after Wu Antian, appearing determined to slay him.
The Sage Mother shot over in a streak of light, blocking Yu Cheng’s path. A palm struck, sending her flying with a scream.
To her surprise, Yu Cheng continued to attack the Sage Mother as if nothing had happened, laughing, “You really think my target was him?”
The Immortals were aghast. “How could this be?”
The Sage Mother’s Twin Karma Lotus was incredibly powerful, and no art could dispel it, unless…
Unless it was the Dao of Fate!
The Immortals suddenly understood.
Yu Cheng hadn’t used the Wish Granting Book on the Ageless Child’s Fate entanglement, but the Sage Mother!
For Yu Cheng, the Sage Mother’s Dao of Karma was a huge problem. There was nothing fun about being forced to take attacks and not return them, and she was also a formidable combatant in her own right. Thus, this was the first target he needed to deal with.
This palm aimed at the Sage Mother was brimming with the power of Destruction, and as it slammed into the Sage Mother, Destruction devoured her life force, swiftly bringing her toward oblivion!
This was the terror of Destruction!
But at this moment, Gu Daocheng raised his hand, and life force flowed into the Sage Mother of the West’s body, and at the same time, the power of Reincarnation activated. In a swirl of Immortal wind, the Sage Mother of the West was reborn.
The Daos of Life and Reincarnation were the counter to the Daos of Slaughter and Destruction.
Wandering Ferry was here to seal space and prevent escape, at the same time using his influence over Time to maintain control over the battlefield. Wu Antian was the tank, meant to absorb damage, while the Ageless Child used the will of the heavens to weaken Yu Cheng. The Sage Mother of the West was there for damage, and Gu Daocheng served as the healer and guardian, his possession of the Daos of Life and Reincarnation making him the ideal candidate for this.
Each of these five had a role, and they were even stronger united, so it was only together that they dared to challenge Yu Cheng. Even then, Yu Cheng had still managed to make the Sage Mother die once, much to their consternation.
Yu Cheng snorted. “You have some skill, but these are nothing but tricks. Spring and Autumn Scroll, come!”
These words summoned a yellow scroll.
Row after row of words appeared on the Spring and Autumn Scroll, shining with a brilliant light.
None of them could make out the words, but they all felt a ripple of power. They were certain that something had happened, but not exactly what. All they saw was Yu Cheng confidently and coldly smiling.
“If this is all you have, then… you can all die!”
He raised his right hand high, and a chilling radiance appeared in it.
The Xuanyuan Sword!
Everyone’s pupils constricted.
Only now did they remember that Yu Cheng had yet to use the Xuanyuan Sword.
The Xuanyuan Sword, which had followed Yu Cheng through countless battles, was a Dao armament that could cleave open the firmament.
Before it, no obstacles could stand, and all barriers were made out of clay.
A moment later, Yu Cheng swung the Xuanyuan Sword, and a wave of sword energy flew toward Wu Antian.
And chopped him in half!
“This is impossible… impossible…” Wandering Ferry cried out in terror.
He wasn’t calling it impossible that the Xuanyuan Sword had torn through his spatial barrier, but that… he had never even considered this possibility.
Yes, in all those years of planning, the five Gold Immortals had completely neglected to take the Xuanyuan Sword into account!
How could this be?
How could they forget?
As everyone once more looked at the Spring and Autumn Scroll, the dimming words now became visible, upon which they felt their hearts drop.
On the Spring and Autumn Scroll was written:
“When Xuan and Yuan are parted, the divine sword is no more. The cause has come, so the effect is set. None in the Stellar Chiliocosm shall remember Xuanyuan!”
None in the Stellar Chiliocosm shall remember Xuanyuan!
It was Yu Cheng!
Karma that he had written into being!
Using the fact that the Xuanyuan Sword had previously ceased to exist, he had written that the divine sword was no more and that nobody in the chiliocosm remembered it.
They all trembled.
“You’re saying…” Wandering Ferry trembled as he looked at Yu Cheng. “You knew that this battle would happen from the start? You set down this Karma?”
“‘Battle’?” Yu Cheng smiled. “Fool, this is no battle. This is a war!
“My return was bound to start a war. That was obvious even without using Fate. You all are simply so reliant on the Great Daos that you forgot to use your heads and see what was obvious. Hiding the existence of the Xuanyuan Sword made you misjudge my strength. Is there any reason to not do this? Isn’t this kind of preparation obvious for someone who chose this path?
“So now, if you lot have anything else, use it all now. If you don’t, then you can die in peace…” Yu Cheng arrogantly proclaimed.
