Chapter 403 Sword Slaying the Heavenly Dao! Four Rising Fame Forces!
The boundary of the universe, the void.
Chu Yang looked ahead. Compared to the last time he challenged the Heavenly Dao, he was now a completely different person.
Back then, it was only by relying on the pseudo-Haotian state that it was able to barely contend with the incomplete side of the Heavenly Dao by vying for that faint black hole singularity.
But now, Chu Yang has just arrived here and he can already vaguely sense that the Heavenly Dao is stirring.
This is not a perception of spiritual power, but a kind of inexplicable feeling.
This feeling arose because Chu Yang had once faced the world will of the Great Thousand Worlds in his battle of wits.
Although influenced by the extraterrestrial evil race, the world will of the Great Thousand Worlds is not in its complete form, but it can at least be materialized as the Sky Ranking, which brings a more direct sensory impact to people.
Although the Sky Ranking and the Supreme God Heavenly Dao are completely different, they have subtle commonalities in essence.
"Since you're here, let me see if you dare stop me!"
Chu Yang sneered, and with a flash, he flew directly towards the direction of the unknown universe.
He didn't feel any resistance, but the faint pressure coming from above felt like a warning from the heavens.
Chu Yang didn't care. Instead, the reaction of the Heavenly Dao confirmed his previous series of speculations.
After flying for an unknown distance, Chu Yang slowly came to a stop. Looking at the vast, boundless void around him, he suddenly looked up and laughed, "Why don't you give it a try?"
"Click...click..."
As his words fell, the space above Chu Yang crumbled inch by inch, and a terrifying force slowly pressed down.
This force gives people a feeling that it is invincible, and makes them subconsciously want to give up resisting.
But Chu Yang remained unmoved. He simply raised his hand, and amidst the swirling white light, the [Heavenly Palace] appeared in his palm.
The next moment, [Tianque] transformed into an imperial decree, with the two characters "Haotian" on the token fluttering around. A dragon and a phoenix rushed out and intertwined on Chu Yang's body to form a dragon and phoenix imperial robe.
The Purple Star and the Big Dipper hang overhead, while the Lingxiao Palace floats behind him.
As his strength increased, the power of Chu Yang's Zanpakuto also grew stronger. In a flash, he arrived at the Lingxiao Palace.
The moment Chu Yang sat on the dragon throne, his temperament underwent a dramatic change, as if he were a heavenly emperor who ruled the world!
Although it was still in the pseudo-Haotian state, it was many times stronger than the last time.
It's just that, perhaps due to the incompleteness of the Heavenly Dao, [Tianque] did not unleash more of its original power in response to the "provocation" of the Heavenly Dao.
Even so, Chu Yang still withstood the downward pressure of the Heavenly Dao and stood his ground against it!
Let me guess...
Chu Yang narrowed his eyes, his voice booming like a great bell, or like the majestic sound of the heavens, "Such frailty means you are either incomplete or limited."
"It is hard to believe that this is the work of a flawed Heavenly Way, given that it can give birth to self-awareness and independent thinking, and has also laid out a flawless plan."
"Perhaps your greatest enemies were those prehistoric gods, but if they could cripple you, how could you have wiped you out in one fell swoop?"
As he spoke, Chu Yang clearly felt the pressure from above increase, but he remained calm and continued:
"So that leaves only one other possibility..."
"That means you are being restrained by something! Or you are being limited for some reason!"
"I think... whether it's being restrained or restricted, the root cause probably lies in that unknown universe, right?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Yang turned his head and looked towards the direction of the unknown universe.
He withdrew his gaze, slowly stood up, waved his hand, and said softly, "Since you can't do anything to me, then let's disperse!"
"Next time I come, you won't be able to stop me!"
At the same time, the Lingxiao Palace suddenly shone brightly, with the Ziwei and Beidou constellations shining brilliantly, and the imperial decree in Chu Yang's hand shot upwards.
"boom!!!"
A storm instantly swept through the void, and the next moment it was as if the sky had collapsed, and everything above Chu Yang rapidly crumbled.
During this process, Ziwei, Beidou, and Lingxiao Palace were also on the verge of collapse.
When the pressure of the Heavenly Dao completely dissipated and the universe above Chu Yang's head collapsed, the Ziwei and Beidou constellations had completely dimmed, and the Lingxiao Palace was covered with cracks before exploding into pieces.
The dragon and phoenix imperial robes transformed into specks of light, slowly dissipating.
A streak of white light descended from the sky, and the Imperial Decree had transformed back into the [Heavenly Sword], falling into Chu Yang's hand. The sword trembled slightly, emitting a ringing sound.
The sword can cleave the Heavenly Dao, and even if it is only a fragment of the Heavenly Dao's power, it still makes this Zanpakuto rejoice.
Chu Yang glanced again in the direction of the unknown universe, chuckled, and then leaped into the wormhole.
The clues have been sorted out, and many things have been arranged. Now all we need to do is wait for everything to be ready and for Ao Ting to make a major discovery.
Before that, we should enjoy this rare moment of relaxation.
After all, during his time in the void, although there was nothing that could threaten him, he still had to find some solace in his long period of loneliness.
…………
The Great Thousand Worlds, the Sacred Abyss Continent.
"You've already finished your seclusion so quickly?" Sun Wukong looked at Chu Yang sitting opposite him, slightly surprised.
"It's just some breakthroughs in cultivation techniques, so it naturally won't take too long!" Chu Yang said with a smile.
Although the seclusion period was short, the fifth level of the Spirit Ascension Technique, coupled with the access to the Soul Palace during the seclusion and the sharing of the fourteenth level of the Ascension Emperor Scripture with the transcendent god Chu Yang, was a very fruitful harvest.
The fourteenth level of Ascension to the Holy Body has increased his overall abilities by approximately 231%.
It is worth mentioning that the various treasures exchanged in the Great Thousand Palace Treasury this time have far exceeded Chu Yang's expectations in terms of enhancing the Four Saints' True Spirits.
He originally thought that at most he would only be able to complete the fourth evolution.
But the final result was that after completing the fourth evolution, the progress bar for the fifth evolution of the Four Sacred Spirits was directly pushed to seventy percent!
The four sacred spirits have now reached the genuine late-stage realm of the Celestial Supreme!
Among them, Ao Ting and Huo Ling's actual combat power is comparable to the peak of the Immortal Rank!
However, if we want to go further, relying solely on rare and precious materials is no longer sufficient; we must absorb the power of the continent.
"When do you plan to leave?" Sun Wukong knew that Chu Yang would leave the Holy Abyss Continent after he finished his seclusion.
Chu Yang said softly, "We'll set off immediately once the Great Thousand Palace sends the intelligence."
Sun Wukong asked with a smile, "Aren't we going to go see those little guys?"
The "little ones" he was referring to were Nalan Yanran, Tang Huo'er, and others.
Chu Yang shook his head and said, "They have their own paths to walk..."
During this time, through the Great Thousand Palace, the two learned more or less about their old acquaintances from the Dou Qi Continent.
The Netherworld Army is thriving in the Western Heaven Continent, having become the strongest army in the Western Heaven Battle Hall, and Yao Feng has reached the peak level of a million-pattern battle formation master.
With the help of the Netherworld Army, they can even contend with early-stage Spirit-Rank Heavenly Sovereigns.
The Heavenly Mystery Pavilion, led by the Ancestor of the Pill Tower, has also gained a reputation. It is a rare force composed entirely of spirit array masters, even in the Great Thousand Realms.
Moreover, the number of people in the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion is simply too large, and everyone has become a spirit array master, which is simply unbelievable.
Although the best among them was only a Grandmaster of Spirit Array, comparable to a Supreme Earthly Powerhouse, there were simply too many of them!
Hundreds of spirit array masters can even join forces to set up a spirit array at the grandmaster level!
This attracted many spirit array masters to join, leading to the growing size of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion.
The groundwork Chu Yang laid in the Dou Qi Continent clearly played a crucial role; otherwise, even high-level alchemists wouldn't have been able to successfully switch to cultivating spirit arrays.
Chu Yang knew that there were some promising talents in the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion, such as Cao Ying, Xuan Kongzi's disciple, and the younger generation of the Medicine Clan who had survived.
There were also the former three giants of the Dan Tower and Old Monster Lin, all of whom were late bloomers who accumulated their talents and then unleashed their potential.
Now that the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion has established a firm foothold, as long as they seize some opportunities in the future, they can take this opportunity to break through to the realm of Grandmaster of Spirit Arrays.
This process won't take long; it just needs a trigger.
The Baihua Pavilion is developing even faster than the Tianji Pavilion.
This is naturally thanks to the cultivation techniques practiced by Nalan Yanran and Yun Yun!
The Source Technique was so powerful that even the simplified version left the master and disciple with virtually no bottlenecks.
After entering the Great Thousand World, they immediately divided the Hundred Flowers Pavilion into smaller units, each with a one-year period to travel and then reunite.
It must be said that while doing this carries great risk, high risk is also accompanied by high reward!
After a year, apart from Nalan Yanran and Yun Yun, although Baihua Pavilion lost nearly one-fifth of its members, its overall strength has improved by a significant level!
It should be noted that those who were able to enter the Great Thousand World in the first batch were all Dou Sheng powerhouses from the Dou Qi Continent, whose starting point in terms of talent and strength was not low.
In just one year, after completing the spiritual energy transformation, nearly 70% of these people broke through to the Supreme Realm, and a few even reached the Earth Supreme Realm.
Of course, the reason why their cultivation level improved so rapidly was mainly due to two key factors.
Firstly, 99% of the people practiced the cultivation techniques provided by Chu Yang.
Secondly, their potential was previously limited by their battle qi, which prevented them from being fully developed. Only after completing the spiritual energy conversion could they have a brief period of rapid cultivation.
Once you get past this stage, your cultivation progress will slow down considerably.
However, with the cultivation techniques provided by Chu Yang, as long as one has good talent, one will not be weaker than many geniuses in the Great Thousand World.
Some exceptionally talented individuals, given the right opportunities, may not only not slow down their progress, but could even surpass it.
In addition, Yun Yun and Nalan Yanran, who cultivated the Origin Technique, ridiculously broke through to the Heavenly Supreme realm!
As a result, the Hundred Flowers Pavilion directly occupied a continent and renamed it the Hundred Flowers Continent, becoming a newly emerging super power.
In comparison, the development speed of the Yunlan Sect was slower than Chu Yang had expected.
Although the Yunlan Sect also occupied a continent, and with Dan Tong and Xiao Xiao being able to join forces to rival the early stage of the Spirit Grade Heavenly Sovereign, it became a super power.
But don't forget...
Compared to the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion and the Hundred Flowers Pavilion, the Cloud Mist Sect has a much higher starting point!
In terms of sheer numbers of strong individuals, it far surpasses the sum of the two!
Moreover, within this year, almost all the experts of the Yunlan Sect reached the Supreme Realm, and there were quite a few Earth Supremes.
Ultimately, it was because Dan Tong and Xiao Xiao's progress was relatively slow that the development speed of Yunlan Sect was limited.
However, Chu Yang was not worried. Since he was letting everyone do as they pleased, he would not interfere too much.
Dan Tong and Xiao Xiao both have great potential. No matter what caused their progress to be slowed down, they will catch up sooner or later.
Things went much more smoothly in the Great Xia Dynasty, and Tang Huo'er's title as the Empress of Great Xia was even more prestigious.
He was at the early stage of the Spirit Rank and could already contend with those at the late stage of the Spirit Rank. He was also very young, making him a prodigy.
If it weren't for Chu Yang's outstanding performance, Tang Huo'er's fame would probably be even greater.
The Great Xia Dynasty is filled with powerful figures. In addition to Tang Huo'er, Zi Yan, Feng Qing'er, and Zhu Kun, who has been accumulating strength for a long time, have all reached the Heavenly Supreme Realm.
It is said that Zhu Kun received a great opportunity, which enabled him to catch up.
Most importantly...
Many powerful individuals have joined the Great Xia Dynasty, drawn by its reputation, including even those at the Heavenly Sovereign level!
It is said that there was even a Celestial Supreme who wanted to take Tang Huo'er as his disciple. After being repeatedly rejected, he simply stepped in and became a guest minister in the Great Xia Dynasty, and then refused to leave...
Even though he knew that Tang Huo'er already had a master, that guy didn't care. His main point was to be sincere!
Chu Yang was also eager to see who this interesting guy who wanted to steal his disciple was.
In general, the development speed of the Great Xia Dynasty has exceeded Chu Yang's expectations. According to the latest intelligence obtained by the Great Thousand Palace, the Great Xia Dynasty seems to be planning something for a certain supercontinent.
Tang Huo'er's boldness and ambition are evident.
It should be noted that there are only ten super continents in the entire Great Thousand World, each with numerous powerful forces, countless strong individuals, and abundant resources.
Even the Western Continent, ruled by the Western War Emperor, was not listed among the ten super continents.
But what surprised Chu Yang the most was Xiao Yan!
This guy, in just one year, seemed to have been injected with chicken blood, and his strength improved by leaps and bounds. Now he has reached the peak of the Spirit Grade Heavenly Supreme!
The latest news Chu Yang received from the Great Thousand Palace was that Xiao Yan had defeated an early-stage Celestial Sovereign, despite it being a Pyrrhic victory, which made him famous overnight!
In less than two years, he went from a low-grade supreme being to the peak of a spirit-grade heavenly supreme being. This speed is simply outrageous.
However, Chu Yang vaguely guessed that this guy probably collected a lot of powerful strange fires and refined them through the Burning Technique, which is why his cultivation level advanced by leaps and bounds.
The fact that Xiao Yan was able to defeat the Celestial Supreme Being across realms also means that Xiao Yan's Peerless Emperor Flame has already begun to take shape.
Xiao Yan is now ahead, but it remains to be seen whether Lin Dong, who has gained a great opportunity through Sun Wukong, can keep up with him.
Over the next two days, besides drinking with Sun Wukong, Chu Yang would also wander around the Holy Abyss Continent in his spare time, occasionally giving pointers to some promising talents.
Previously, Daqian Palace had shown him goodwill in every way, so this can be considered a way of returning the favor.
Information about the White Dragon Supreme and White Dragon Hill was finally delivered to Chu Yang by a special envoy from the Great Thousand Palace on the third day after he emerged from seclusion.
Clearly, collecting comprehensive information about a small person and a small place in the vast world is not easy, even for the Great Thousand Palace.
