Chapter 681 Fragments of the Primordial Heavenly Dao Laws, Mutated Ferocious Beasts, All Annihilated
The moment one steps through the Gate of Myriad Paths is not a simple spatial journey, but a far more profound reversal of the universe and a reshaping of the laws.
Everyone felt a sudden jolt, losing all five senses, as if they had been thrown into a boiling torrent of time.
It seems to have drifted in endless nothingness for eternity.
Once the intense feeling of weightlessness and disorientation subsided.
When I refocused my gaze, the scene before me had been completely transformed.
No longer a cold and desolate starry sky, but a vast and boundless world, full of life, yet exuding an endless sense of desolation and antiquity.
The sky is high and vast, with the sun and moon shining together and stars scattered throughout, casting a gentle glow and warmth, just like the outside world.
However, upon closer inspection, one will discover that the sun, moon, and stars are not physical entities, but rather manifestations of the purest and most refined energy of heaven and earth and the rules of the Great Dao.
Beneath our feet lies a vast, ancient plain stretching out in undulating waves, lush with vegetation and towering ancient trees.
You can even hear faint roars of beasts and cries of birds in the distance; everything seems so real and lifelike.
However, a unique Taoist charm permeates this world.
An aura of law originating from the primordial era, thick yet incomplete, reminded everyone that this was not the real world.
Rather, it is a mysterious space that evolved from within the Gate of Ten Thousand Paths.
"Spatial teleportation... everyone was scattered."
Su Qinglian's cold voice rang out. She scanned the surroundings with her divine sense but did not detect the presence of any other intruders.
Ye Tian nodded; he also sensed that, apart from them, there were others.
The tens of thousands of prodigies who had just surged in seemed to have been randomly placed in different corners of this vast world.
This may be a rule of the Gate of All Paths, designed to disperse competitors and increase the difficulty and uncertainty of obtaining vast opportunities.
Fortunately, he was still able to stay together with Huang Ruoxi, Su Qinglian, Xiao Yan, and Luo Ningshuang.
This might be because when they entered, their energy was connected, and they were all enveloped by Ye Tian's chaotic energy, thus being judged as the same team by the rules of this world.
"Such rich spiritual energy! It's several times stronger than the sacred mountain secret realm of the academy!"
Xiao Yan took a deep breath, his face full of excitement, and the flame runes around his body flickered on their own.
It greedily absorbed the almost liquefied spiritual energy in the air.
Huang Ruoxi's beautiful eyes also sparkled. She possessed the bloodline of the Heavenly Phoenix and was particularly sensitive to the rich fire-attribute energy in this place.
Although Luo Ningshuang did not speak, the chilling aura surrounding her seemed to intensify.
Ye Tian closed his eyes and concentrated, carefully sensing this world.
His innate perfect chaotic body has an extraordinary affinity for the origin of all things.
Within the sea of consciousness between his brows, the fragment of the incomplete Primordial Heavenly Dao Law trembled slightly.
It resonated strangely with a kind of law that shared the same origin but was more magnificent, yet also more fragmented, that permeated this world.
"As expected..."
Ye Tian opened his eyes, a fleeting, chaotic light flashing within them.
"This Gate of Myriad Paths does indeed contain fragments of the ancient Heavenly Dao Laws of the Northern Sea, and they are even more vast than I imagined."
But... it seems to have been scattered and corrupted by some force.
He had a vague feeling that deep within the vast earth, or in certain specific areas, there existed nodes that resonated strongly with his own fragments of the Heavenly Dao.
If those nodes can be found and refined, it will not only complete one's understanding of the ancient laws of the Heavenly Dao in the Northern Sea.
Perhaps we can also obtain other legacies left by that ancient, peerless powerhouse.
"We need to move in that direction."
Ye Tian pointed to the depths of the ancient plain, where mountains rise and fall, clouds and mist shroud the landscape, and the atmosphere is the most ancient and chaotic.
However, opportunities often go hand in hand with dangers.
Just as Ye Tian and the others determined their direction and were preparing to set off...
"Roar……!"
"Ow...!"
"Hiss hiss hiss...!"
Terrifying roars of beasts resounded from all directions, shaking the void.
On the horizon, smoke and dust rose into the sky like a black tide, surging in with overwhelming force!
Those were countless ferocious beasts, with all sorts of strange shapes, including demonic tigers with bony wings on their backs and fangs like knives.
There were giant lizards covered in rocks with glowing red eyes, and shadowy creatures that moved erratically and emitted piercing shrieks...
Their common feature was their eyes, which were completely bloodshot and filled only with a frenzied desire to kill.
And the nauseating, dark, corrosive aura that enveloped him.
This beast tide is no ordinary event!
Their numbers are overwhelming, numbering in the tens of thousands!
Even more alarming is the energy fluctuation they emit.
Even the weakest among them are comparable to cultivators at the Saint Lord level in the outside world, and there are even Saint Kings and Saint Emperors among them.
There were even a few exceptionally large ferocious beasts hidden behind the beast tide, whose aura had reached the Supreme Realm!
They seemed to have lost all intelligence and the ability to feel pain, transforming into war machines existing solely for destruction.
"It is a guardian creature that has been completely corrupted. The restrictions imposed by the master of this place have been completely eroded by the power of darkness."
Su Qinglian's tone was serious, indicating that she had seen through the situation.
"Perfect timing! I was just looking for a place to stretch my muscles!"
Xiao Yan was not afraid at all; his eyes burned with the fire of battle, and he was eager to try.
Ye Tian's eyes were indifferent, and a cold smile curved his lips.
These ferocious beasts corrupted by darkness were nothing more than testing stones to hone his skills.
Furthermore... although it was corrupted by darkness, it survived for countless years within the Gate of Myriad Paths, possessing a vast amount of life essence.
This is a perfect opportunity to kill it and turn it into resources to replenish one's own life essence!
"Buzz!"
A vast and unparalleled divine might, surpassing all living beings.
Like a slumbering ancient divine mountain suddenly awakening, it burst forth from Ye Tian's body!
Golden light shone everywhere, and chaotic energy permeated the air, making him appear like a god-king who travels through the heavens!
The surrounding space distorted and groaned under this oppressive force.
The surging beast horde's vanguard was actually forced back several steps by this invisible force.
It let out a roar that was a mixture of fear and anger.
"Qiang!"
A clear, resonant sword cry echoed through the heavens and earth, and an ancient longsword appeared in Ye Tian's hand.
The sword's blade resembled neither stone nor jade, and its entire body was covered with strange and powerful runes. It was the Heavenly Demon Sword, one of the five divine swords and a divine weapon that he had once obtained!
The moment the sword was drawn, its chilling killing intent caused the temperature in the void to plummet.
"Let this beast tide sharpen my sword and invigorate my spirit!"
Ye Tian let out a long roar that shook the heavens.
He took a step forward, actively facing the boundless, vast, and surging dark beast tide!
"Chaos Sword Technique... Heaven Opening!"
The Heavenly Demon Sword was wielded without any fancy techniques, only the most fundamental Daoist principles.
A hazy gray sword aura swept out, initially seemingly ordinary, but the moment it left the sword, it evolved into a scene of creation where earth, water, fire, and wind surged, and the pure and turbid energies separated!
Wherever the sword energy passed, space was easily torn apart like cloth, forming huge void rifts!
"Puff puff puff puff..."
The first to be attacked were hundreds of ferocious beasts, regardless of whether their strength was at the Saint Lord level or the Saint King/Saint Emperor level.
Before this sword energy, which contains the essence of creation and chaos, everything is as fragile as paper.
Instantly shredded into the most primitive blood mist and energy fragments, annihilated in both form and spirit!
The power of a sword is so terrifying!
But this is just the beginning.
Ye Tian's figure swayed, rushing into the depths of the beast tide like a ghost, the Heavenly Demon Sword transforming into streaks of deathly light.
"Build land!"
"Sever the cause and effect!"
"Sever the cycle of reincarnation!"
The Chaos Sword Technique was wielded with ease in his hands; each strike contained a unique understanding of the origin of the Great Dao, and its power was immense.
The sword light was sometimes as heavy as a mountain, crushing the void.
Sometimes it appears as ethereal as smoke and clouds, leaving no trace.
At times, it is as sharp as the judgment of Heaven, annihilating everything!
He was like a tiger among sheep, invincible.
As the sword flashed, hordes of ferocious beasts fell, their limbs and severed bodies flying everywhere, and their dark blood staining the vast ancient plains red.
The powerful beasts, each possessing supreme strength, roared and charged forward, attempting to stop this god of death.
However, Ye Tian casually cleaved it with a few sword strikes, breaking its bones and tendons, annihilating its dark origin, and its massive body crashed to the ground.
Even more strangely, as Ye Tian killed the ferocious beast, an invisible vortex seemed to appear around him.
The immense life essence and dark energy that dissipated after those ferocious beasts died.
Instead of dissipating into the world, it was forcibly seized by a powerful suction force and surged into Ye Tian's body like a hundred rivers flowing into the sea!
This is precisely the heaven-defying aspect of his Chaos Body: it can devour and refine the origin of all things!
These life essences, corrupted by darkness, are refined and purified by the chaotic energy.
By removing the dross and retaining the essence, it is transformed into the purest energy.
It nourished his imperial body, consolidated his cultivation, and even enabled him to gain insights into the incomplete ancient Heavenly Dao.
They all deepened slightly!
His aura, instead of being diminished by the killing and devouring, became even more powerful and profound!
Furthermore, his swordsmanship became increasingly profound and skillful, making him unstoppable.
Even a ferocious beast at the Supreme Realm is no match for him with a single sword strike; he can kill it in an instant!
Huang Ruoxi, Su Qinglian, Xiao Yan, and Luo Ningshuang were also busy.
They each used their own methods to protect Ye Tian's flanks and eliminate any who managed to escape.
Phoenix divine fire burns the eight wastelands, purifying lotus light cleanses the darkness, blazing fist energy shatters the heavens and earth, and icy sword energy freezes the void.
The five of them were like an invincible arrow, advancing fearlessly through the endless tide of beasts.
No one can stop him, no one can stop him.
Slaying ferocious beasts of the Holy Realm is as easy as cutting melons and vegetables!
Wherever he passed, corpses lay everywhere.
They fought their way through a path paved with blood and bones!
Ye Tian, bathed in beast blood, went mad; the Heavenly Demon Sword, drinking blood, rang out; the chaotic sword intent became increasingly harmonious and domineering.
He felt his fighting instincts were fully unleashed, and his control over the power of the Great Emperor became increasingly refined.
His sword intent became increasingly refined, and every move he made subtly aligned with the Great Dao!
This sudden surge of dark beasts.
For other exceptional talents, this would undoubtedly be a major disaster.
If not for a worthy adversary, they would likely perish in the jaws of beasts and become food for the ferocious creatures.
But for Ye Tian, it turned into a thoroughly enjoyable baptism and feast!
"Boring, so incredibly boring!"
"Now, I can kill a supreme being with a single sword strike."
"If you want to stop me, you'd better come from the same realm!"
Ye Tian let out a long roar, and his sword light flashed again, cutting a vacuum in front of him.
His gaze was intense as he looked into the depths of the ancient plain, sensing the increasingly clear call of the Heavenly Dao.
Even the rudiments of fragments of the ancient Heavenly Dao laws can be vaguely seen.
"go!"
He took the lead and stepped forward with unstoppable momentum, causing numerous dark beasts to tremble in fear, with piles of beast corpses beneath his feet.
