Chapter 2499 A Glimpse of Backlight

then...

As they gradually withered away, she knew that it was Crane Spirit and Black Ox who accompanied him through the endless years. From then on, he treated Black Ox even better than he treated Chen Xun. Before going into seclusion, he often took it to travel around the Yaotai Immortal Palace and explained the past of the Dao Palace.

Meng Sheng took a deep breath, looked up at the sky, his eyes filled with respect and excitement.

Yin Tianshou stroked his beard and laughed heartily. "So that's how it is! Very good!"

"So it's Junior Brother Niu who's about to emerge from seclusion." Ji Kun's eyes flashed with sharpness, his whole body radiating the aura of the Great Dao. He raised his hand to the sky and said in a deep voice, "We've been waiting for Junior Brother Niu for far too long."

The Supreme Human Sword slightly emerged from its sheath.

As if Heaven and Earth were about to subject Junior Brother Niu to an extra tribulation, he went forward and cleaved it in two.

The ominous creature, which was still cutting off the Dao Fruit of the Immortal Realm, opened its tightly closed eyes a crack. It turned out that Senior Black Ox was about to prove his Dao and emerge from seclusion. He thought that the Dao Ancestor had nothing better to do and had invited them to gather in the Shadow Immortal Realm.

Once, by borrowing the rules of the End Immortal Sect and the handiwork of the Dao Ancestor, the Dao Fruit of the Immortal Realm was severed.

In layman's terms, the immortals perished, half of the immortal realm and half of the Dao Ancestor.

Later, half of the Immortal Realm was separated from the other half of the Eternal Immortal Realm.

Now that's no longer necessary, the cutting begins. These two giant hands are the greatest black hand that has been unseen by all living beings in the immortal realm for countless ages.

Neither he nor the Dao Ancestor actually wanted to give up.

Unfortunately, the Eternal Immortal Realm must take another path. It seems that continuing to absorb the Dao Fruits of the Immortal Realm is not unexpected, but to prevent unimaginable accidents in future generations, it is best to sever all causal ties first. In any case, the ominous path has already been formed...!

When future generations of cultivators attain immortality and achieve enlightenment, the golden age of the ominous race will arrive.

Whenever he thought of this incident, the old ancestor would savor the memory and often praise his own unique insight when he was still in a humble position.

A great race, where even chickens and dogs ascend to heaven, is rare in the world, yet has been everywhere since time immemorial.

When they learned that it was actually Da Hei Niu who was going to prove his Dao, the atmosphere became noticeably more enthusiastic.

This group of elders... can be considered to have taken the 'back door of the Heavenly Dao'. Because their foundation in their youth is irreversible, they do not have the innate strength and inexhaustible foundation of the immortal beings. They can only walk the path of becoming the supreme being.

Chen Xun is very honest.

The myriad races and beings throughout history are also very real.

Heaven and earth are even more real.

If these ancient pioneers who have conquered countless territories cannot use back channels, it is because their descendants are incompetent. If their descendants are allowed to use back channels of the Heavenly Dao, they are useless, and it is even questionable whether they will open the channels for them.

But these ancient pioneers who opened up new territories used the back door of the Heavenly Way, and all living beings throughout the ages can only respect them with all their hearts, and even want to open the back door wider!

"Hmm, I remember that old bastard Chen Xun only started cultivating the myriad paths in reverse after he became a true immortal through all the myriad paths, right?"

"We have not cultivated the myriad paths, so we cannot know the mysteries of this matter. We only know that Fellow Daoist Black Ox may have a higher starting point, and perhaps his future limit in the path of immortality will also be higher."

"That makes sense..."

"Ha, Chen Xun is always like this, always prioritizing the grand path."

"It's more accurate to say that this kid possesses numerous extraordinary techniques. Back in the ancient times, he already had such vast magical power that he could condense ten thousand bodies, and his immortal body could even bear ten thousand Daos within one body. That's a foundation that even ancient cultivators could only achieve after billions of years..."

"That old thief is already defying the heavens!"

"Xian Gu?!"

"Where is Fellow Daoist Immortal Ancient?"

"As you all may not know, that man who competed with Brother Chen in the power of heaven and earth was later suppressed in the Reverse Five Elements Ridge, and it seems he has not yet climbed out."

……

Mo Yehan coughed lightly. He had been fortunate enough to witness the battle back then, and the shadow of that experience still haunts him to this day.

That person was certainly not weak; he was truly extraordinary.

But Brother Chen's strength was a bit too much...

"Destroying the heavens and the earth" is not enough to describe it; it should be said that it could shatter a great path of heaven and earth.

If this continues, Brother Chen should be able to forcibly shatter the entire Immortal Realm, and even the power of repair will not be able to keep up, making him so powerful that he doesn't seem like a being from a different time and space.

That day, the ancient cultivator was beaten until his eyes were filled with despair. It was the first time he had ever seen despair in the eyes of a true immortal who had attained enlightenment through physical means. It was quite bizarre.

Beneath the vast, reversed Five Elements Ridge.

That's really bizarre!

To this day, the ancient city of Xian Gu is filled with bizarre sights.

In a battle between Qi Refining stage cultivators, life and death can be decided in a single move; in a battle between Foundation Establishment stage cultivators, the outcome can be determined within a hundred rounds; in the Golden Core stage, the contest begins with the use of magical power; and in the Tribulation Transcending stage, the outcome becomes extremely difficult to determine.

Even battles between Nine Tribulation Immortals can stretch the timeline to millions of years!

This also shows that the higher the level, the harder it is to determine a winner, because everyone has sufficient foundation, strength, and supernatural abilities, making it completely impossible to suppress one another.

But these methods are completely inapplicable to that old scoundrel Chen Xun!

The higher his realm, the more ruthless his suppression of immortality becomes, so invincible that you can no longer comprehend what kind of despairing existence he truly is.

Throughout the ages.

They seemed to have reached the end of the path to immortality and the ultimate truth.

For the first time ever, Xian Gu felt somewhat defeated. He didn't want to cause any more trouble for Chen Xun, nor did he want to fight him again; it was pointless...

Suddenly.

The colossal mountain range that runs east to west across the Shadow Immortal Realm stretches for hundreds of millions of miles. Its main peak soars into the clouds, and the ridge at its summit, which is shrouded in eerie five-colored clouds year-round, is now beginning to tremble.

Immortal Ancient stood deep within the boundary ridge, his pupils widening as his gaze locked onto the first point of disturbance.

Initially, it was just a little backlight.

That point of backlight, suspended in the center of the boundary ridge, caused the five elements' energy to instinctively reverse around it—

Metal cannot generate water, water cannot nourish wood, wood cannot support fire, fire cannot refine earth, and earth cannot support metal. The originally stable natural five elements laws around him were forcibly pushed apart by an invisible hand.

The five elements energy surged from the depths of the earth's veins, but it was not the normal mutual generation of the five elements; instead, it was a reversed mutual restraint.

The immense power of earth overcoming water surged up from the western land, raising a towering earthen dragon that swirled and roared.

The surging tides of water, which overcome fire, rolled back from the northern seas, transforming into a water curtain stretching for hundreds of millions of miles across the sky. The crimson flames of fire, which overcome metal, erupted from the southern fire domain, burning through the clouds and dyeing half the sky blood red.

Metal overcomes Wood, Wood overcomes Earth, a cycle that repeats itself, a reversal of the natural order.

"You scoundrel." Xian Gu snorted. Back then, Chen Xun used this bizarre and unparalleled Reverse Five Elements Dao to suppress him here, causing his great power to circulate erratically and the backlash to surge abnormally.

soon.

That point of backlight suddenly spread.

The reversed Qi of the Five Elements surged out along the ridgeline, like blood flowing back. Wherever it passed, the rocks no longer followed their original attributes. Golden mountains developed patterns, and fiery rocks condensed frost. The Five Elements were out of place, yet they were reintegrated into a higher Dao.

Xiangu Xiangu's chest trembled slightly, his pupils contracted, he took a deep breath, and his blood and qi seemed to boil. His expression changed slightly. It wasn't that scoundrel after all!

It was only a fleeting moment!

hum-

Five beams of light shot into the sky from five directions along the Five Elements Ridge, each one tens of thousands of miles thick, piercing through the entire dome of the Shadow Immortal Realm.
