Chapter 28 The Emperor's Worries
"A land devoid of morality!"
"I never imagined you had such a profound understanding of the Great Dao; you truly deserve to be called a Dao Venerable!"
The Emperor praised him, and then his body suddenly grew larger, reaching a height of hundreds of thousands of feet, standing tall and upright, like a primordial god who created the world.
"Extremely strong!"
The Emperor's achievements in physical body are not much different from those of the peak body refiners of the Chaotic Ancient Era.
When all paths cease to exist, he breaks through them with force, and the world seems unable to contain his physical body.
"The Daoist Venerable? The Moral Celestial Venerable? He's like you; he might not be dead. It's better if he bears this title!"
Jiang Ling responded, and at the same time his body swelled up, showing how much he valued physical cultivation.
After his first failed attempt to attain enlightenment, he underwent a brutal ordeal targeting his physical body and primordial spirit.
He ventured deep into the chaos, using the Chaos Divine Fire to temper his physical body, actively drawing upon the Chaos Qi and Chaos Divine Thunder to strike his body, refining it bit by bit.
Having survived numerous brushes with death and combined various scriptures, he created the supreme body-refining method of "immovable as a mountain."
Immovable as a mountain, difficult to fathom as the shadows!
He stands still, unshakable by the heavens; no matter how he is attacked, he cannot be broken, making him an absolute defender.
"The Heavenly Art of Annihilation!"
After reaching the same height as the Emperor, Jiang Ling shouted loudly.
All paths were annihilated. The Emperor's many forbidden divine powers lost their effectiveness under the Annihilation of Dao Heavenly Art. Both Dao and Dharma were obliterated by the Annihilation of Dao Heavenly Art.
"Indeed extraordinary, but my path is to seek enlightenment within myself; what do the great laws of the outside world have to do with me?"
The Emperor remained unfazed. Although he was trapped in the Land of Dao Annihilation and unable to activate the laws of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, he himself was the embodiment of the Dao.
The Supreme Being is itself the vessel of the Great Dao. The Secret Realm Cultivation Method does not rely on the external world, but rather evolves the Dao principles through the human body.
The Emperor himself is someone who tramples all the myriad paths of heaven and earth under his feet, and his own original Great Dao is extremely powerful.
Before attaining enlightenment, each supreme being cultivates their own path, which is called the Primordial Great Path, representing their supreme achievement in a certain field.
As one of the strongest Heavenly Venerables in the mythological era, the Emperor Venerable's original Dao is extremely powerful and terrifying, and from the moment it is revealed, it has an aura that suppresses all ages.
boom!
Celestial light soared into the sky, the Dao principles emanated from his body, a Celestial King descended upon the heavens, and a golden lotus bloomed in the sea of suffering, among many other extraordinary phenomena, surrounded him.
"Throughout the nine heavens and ten earths, I alone reign supreme!"
With a loud shout, the Emperor unleashed his mysterious and incomparably powerful Heavenly Technique, clashing head-on with Jiang Ling.
The original Dao, combined with the power to break the Dao, achieved a synergy greater than three, causing Jiang Ling's Dao principles in the Daoless Land to instantly disintegrate.
Despite being called the Destroyer of the Dao, the Destroyer of the Dao Heavenly Art is itself a part of the Dao. Under the resistance of the Emperor's Original Dao, the Land of No Dao could no longer suppress it.
"I see the shadow of Yuanshi Tianzun in you. In terms of understanding the Dao, you are as profound as Yuanshi Tianzun and others, far surpassing Daode Tianzun!"
The Celestial Venerable of Morality is very strong, but in terms of combat power, he is still somewhat inferior to them.
After Yuanshi Tianzun and Wuliang Tianzun, Daode Tianzun accepted disciples and spread his teachings throughout the world. He set up a trial path in the starry sky, which is why he was called Daozun by later generations.
Although they had never met, judging from the traces left by the Celestial Venerable of Morality, the Emperor Venerable knew that the other party had not truly died.
The nine Celestial Venerables of the mythological era surpassed many supreme beings in their research on the path to immortality, and their legends continue to this day.
"kill!"
"All the myriad paths of the heavens!"
Jiang Ling unleashed another supreme forbidden divine power, harnessing all the laws of heaven and earth to bombard the Emperor.
The myriad rules transformed into hundreds and thousands of divine powers and secret techniques, rushing towards the Emperor.
"As expected of an innate Dao body, you can actually control all the myriad Daos of the heavens and the myriad Daos of destruction. It seems you have developed your physique very thoroughly, not much worse than a Chaos Body?"
The Emperor praised him, then his hands moved continuously, and a mysterious aura emanated from his body.
Nine Secrets!
Moreover, it is a combination of nine secret techniques.
Strengthening the Heavenly Court's dominance over the world at the end of the era, the Emperor reigns supreme over all heavens, acquiring countless secret techniques and inheritances.
The methods created by the nine Heavenly Venerables have all come together in his hands, which is why he is able to perform the Nine Secrets in One.
The nine secrets combined into one, unleashing unimaginable power in the Emperor's hands. Once unleashed, they dissolved the myriad paths of heaven and earth that Jiang Ling had summoned.
"kill!"
The two shouted at the same time, and then began a fierce fight.
In the blink of an eye, the two had exchanged hundreds of blows, and the chaotic world continued to shatter under their fierce battle.
This place was once a node on the path to immortality, vast and boundless, with many incomplete laws suppressing heaven and earth; otherwise, it would have been destroyed long ago.
Even so, it was still difficult for the two to determine a winner.
In terms of physical body, primordial spirit, and Daoist techniques, the two are almost identical, each with its own strengths and weaknesses. Overall, neither can defeat the other.
The only difference between the two is that the Emperor has lived a third life and embarked on the path of immortality in the mortal world, making him slightly stronger than Jiang Ling in combat, but the difference is not significant.
boom!
Jiang Ling's figure was blasted back 100,000 feet. She wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and spoke.
"As expected of an Emperor, he's truly powerful!"
Once the time for the Annihilation Heavenly Art was over, the Emperor instantly stepped into the Divine Forbidden Domain and activated the All-Encompassing Secret to increase his combat power tenfold, launching an incomparably fierce counterattack against him.
This is the most dangerous time for Jiang Ling, as the Emperor will tear her body apart.
He also possesses the Divine Forbidden Domain and the All-Encompassing Secret, but the gap in combat power cannot be eliminated by these two things alone.
Don't underestimate the Emperor's combat strength just because it's only slightly stronger than Jiang Ling's. The All-Encompassing Secret and the Divine Forbidden Domain will magnify that gap infinitely.
If it weren't for the supernatural powers he possessed that could influence the Emperor, he would have been defeated long ago.
Ten days passed in the blink of an eye, and neither of them could gain the upper hand.
Chi!
Jiang Ling formed a sword incantation with her hands, and an incomparably vast sword intent reappeared. She unleashed the Immortal Tribulation Sword Technique, and an incomparably scarlet sword light filled the chaotic world.
The Emperor raised his hand, unleashing boundless light to block the myriad sword beams, and then spoke:
"The sword techniques from the chaotic ancient era still bear the shadow of the Immortal-Slaying Sword Intent of the Celestial Venerable of the Spirit Treasure!"
Jiang Ling did not answer the Emperor's question, but instead asked in return:
"One of the most lethal sword techniques from the Immortal Ancient Era. In the past, when this sword technique was unleashed, even True Immortals would be doomed. I never expected you to recognize it. You really are not an Emperor!"
From the early days of mythology to the present, among all the supreme beings, Lingbao Tianzun is the most outstanding in the way of the sword, and no one can surpass him.
However, the Emperor recognized Jiang Ling's sword technique as originating from the Chaotic Ancient Era at a glance, which made Jiang Ling even more certain that the Emperor in front of her had already been possessed.
"No matter what you say, I am the Emperor, and that is an unchangeable fact."
Despite Jiang Ling's question, the Emperor remained completely calm.
At this point, Jiang Ling stopped speaking. Whether the person in front of her was an Emperor or not was no longer important.
There is only one way out!
The two clashed at the pinnacle of their lives on the path to immortality, locked in fierce competition.
In the end, he even sat cross-legged at a node on the Immortal Path, pushing the Daoist forces to clash.
"Hahaha, as expected of the Emperor! Very well, continue to please me!"
Jiang Ling laughed maniacally. Even with his immovable defense, several hideous wounds had appeared on his body after the battle had gone on for so long.
Of course, the Emperor was not in good shape either. At this moment, he no longer had the aura of being the only one in heaven and earth. His armor was shattered and there were several sword marks on his body.
But he remained calm and composed, slowly pushing forward the primordial Dao, and the Dao symbols evolved into countless Dao principles that burst forth as powerful killing techniques.
Not to be outdone, Jiang Ling summoned a cosmic phantom before her, propelling the myriad paths of conflict.
The endless Dao clashed continuously between the two, and as the battle reached this point, both of their divine powers were somewhat exhausted.
Given their combined strength, it would be extremely difficult to determine a winner in a short period of time.
In order to suppress the other party, both Jiang Ling and the Emperor pushed their own original Dao to fight against it.
A confrontation based on the fundamental principles of Tao is far more dangerous than a life-or-death struggle; a single misstep could lead to utter annihilation.
The Emperor remained silent. The chaotic world was already in ruins, and if the war continued, it would inevitably collapse.
At that time, the two will surely venture into space.
That was the last thing he wanted to see!
Once the chaotic world collapses, even the supreme formations on Kunlun Mountain and the ancient primordial star will not be able to conceal the collision between the two, which will inevitably attract the supreme beings of the forbidden zones.
By then, he will be facing more than just Jiang Ling.
The Supreme Being of the Forbidden Zone wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible. Knowing that he was still alive and was being resisted by the current Daoists, he would inevitably face an attack from many Supreme Beings, just like at the end of the Mythical Era.
This contradicts his original intention. Jiang Ling alone is already troublesome enough, not to mention those forbidden zone supreme beings who are irreconcilable with him.
