Chapter 425: Do You Submit?

Shen Daoxing soared through the sky. Inside him, the seven-colored Profound Platform spun rapidly. Then, a torrential wave of Spiritual Power erupted from beneath his feet.

CRACKLE!

At the same time, countless dazzling black electric arcs suddenly burst forth from beneath Shen Daoxing's feet.

"Rise!"

Shen Daoxing bellowed, and his hands flared with an intense black-gold light.

CREAK! GROAN!

He then actually lifted the entire Ta'e. With a sudden exertion of force, he spun it around.

WHOOSH!

The mountain-like Ta'e was suddenly and violently hurled away.

BOOM! RUMBLE!

A colossal crash echoed out as the mountain itself trembled.

Ta'e was slammed deep into the side of a mountain.

Ta'e quivered a few times. It was embedded so deeply in the cliff face that it couldn't immediately pull free.

At that moment, Shen Daoxing kicked off the ground, shooting upward. He transformed into a streak of light and appeared before Ta'e once more.

"Venerable Invincible, Venerable Fist."

CRACKLE!

Black arcs of electricity flashed into existence.

Suddenly, Shen Daoxing raised his arm high once again.

BOOM!

His fist smashed down on Ta'e. The massive sword jolted and sank another ten feet into the cliff face.

Shen Daoxing flipped through the air and landed on the flat of the Ta'e Sword's blade. He raised his arm high, clenching a massive fist.

"Do you yield?"

BOOM!

Suddenly, Shen Daoxing's fist smashed down, radiating a dazzling black-gold light.

Ta'e shuddered violently. CLATTER! CLATTER! Large swaths of the broken Treasure Swords fused to its surface broke off and tumbled down.

"Do you yield?"

Shen Daoxing roared once more.

As he spoke, his fist fell again.

BOOM!

Ta'e was wracked by another violent tremor.

With a deafening clatter, another large swath of broken Treasure Swords fell away, and the great sword's glow dimmed.

With every punch Shen Daoxing landed, the light radiating from Ta'e dimmed a little more.

As Ancestor Dan Chen's Lifebound Magical Artifact, Ta'e had slain countless foes alongside Master Dan Chen. When had it ever been so humiliated!

HUMMM!

A deep, muffled hum suddenly emanated from within Ta'e.

Then, Ta'e's silvery-white light flared, and its aura surged.

BOOM! RUMBLE!

Its colossal body slowly pulled free from the cliff face, then soared high into the sky.

An immense, tide-like suction force suddenly emerged.

In a blur, the entire mountaintop began to shake. The broken Treasure Swords scattered across the peak flew up again, drawn one by one to Ta'e's body.

But that was not all. All over the mountain, massive boulders began to shake. Under Ta'e's immense pull, they also took flight, gathering and clinging to its form.

Even the towering ancient trees in the Sword Intent Forest were torn from the ground, flying up to be drawn toward it.

This terrified Wan Hai and Tang Yi, who were still in the forest, forcing them to retreat again and again. They only stopped after putting a considerable distance between them and the spectacle.

By now, Ta'e had absorbed everything it could from the mountain, becoming a behemoth as large as a mountain itself.

Shen Daoxing, who had been standing on Ta'e, was naturally caught in this immense pull.

He watched as massive boulders flew toward him, threatening to entomb him within Ta'e.

Shen Daoxing abruptly clenched his fist.

CRACKLE!

Black arcs of electricity flashed.

BOOM!

He threw a punch, shattering an incoming boulder.

Then, Shen Daoxing powerfully kicked off Ta'e's body, shooting straight for the ground to escape its immense pull.

However, just as Shen Daoxing landed on the ground, the upward pull on him vanished. The next instant, the crushing, immense pressure reappeared, bearing down on him.

Shen Daoxing's knees buckled slightly.

Then, a behemoth-like figure appeared above his head.

It was the mountain-like Ta'e. Its whole form glowed, its sharp peak aimed directly at Shen Daoxing. The Treasure Swords on its surface were razor-sharp, their light glinting with a murderous intent that felt capable of destroying everything.

Suddenly, Ta'e began to move, descending slowly. Its light flared, a dazzling silver-white that illuminated the entire mountaintop. It was filled with an indisputable majesty, like a divine punishment from the heavens capable of suppressing anything and everything.

The mountain-sized Ta'e was about to crash down and pulverize Shen Daoxing.

Yet Shen Daoxing showed no fear, nor did he have any intention of dodging. He simply turned around slowly and raised his arm, which flared with an intense black-gold light.

In an instant, Shen Daoxing's entire arm and upper body had turned a solid black-gold.

CRACKLE!

Black arcs of electricity appeared, coiling around his black-gold arm as surging Venerable Power poured forth.

"Venerable Invincible... a serious punch!"

Instantly, Shen Daoxing threw his punch.

BOOM! RUMBLE!

Black-gold light exploded in all directions.

BZZZZZZT!

Black arcs of electricity flashed without end.

The mountain-like Ta'e's descent came to an abrupt halt. It had failed to move the tiny human figure—dozens of times smaller than itself—by even a single step, let alone cause any damage. Instead, it was violently jolted upward by the rebound force.

Seizing the opportunity, Shen Daoxing kicked off forcefully, shooting into the air and appearing above Ta'e.

"Venerable Invincible... a serious punch!"

Shen Daoxing roared. His other arm also flared with light, turning a solid black-gold in an instant and brimming with explosive power.

Suddenly, Shen Daoxing raised both arms high, interlacing his fingers to form a single, massive fist.

Shen Daoxing bellowed as his interlaced fists came crashing down, smashing brutally onto Ta'e.

BAM!

With a tremendous bang, black-gold light exploded. The very space around Shen Daoxing's fists seemed to stretch and distort as they fell.

The rocks encasing Ta'e instantly shattered. The colossal sword faltered for a moment, then plummeted downward.

BOOM! RUMBLE!

The earth quaked and the mountains shook. A large swath of rock shattered violently, blasting a huge crater into the ground.

In the blink of an eye, Shen Daoxing landed. His toes barely touched the ground before he kicked off again, leaping up to land on Ta'e in a single bound.

He raised his interlaced, black-gold fists high once more.

BOOM!

He brought them crashing down.

Instantly, Ta'e shuddered violently. Large chunks of rock shattered and fell away, and its silvery-white glow abruptly dimmed.

"Do you yield?"

Shen Daoxing bellowed, raising his black-gold fists once more.

BOOM!

Ta'e shuddered violently again as its light dimmed. A massive chunk of rock shattered and fell away, revealing the sword's true form beneath.

Shen Daoxing didn't hesitate. "Do you yield?"

He followed it up with another heavy punch.

HUMMM!

A strange, muffled hum came from the body of the Ta'e Sword. It began to tremble violently, as if trying to struggle to its feet.

But Shen Daoxing wasn't about to give it the chance.

A black-gold light flared as one of Shen Daoxing's legs turned the same solid color. He brought it down heavily, stomping fiercely onto the body of the Ta'e Sword.
