Above the Great Dao-Chapter 1521 - 706: No Escape from Death

King Li's face was filled with sorrow, tears streaming down, his heart a mix of grief and joy.

He was sad because after fighting with Chen Shi for so many years, there indeed was a bit of sentiment, and his heart was a little hurt. But he was also happy that Chen Shi was now dead, and that the position of General of the World would once again be his.

"Chen Shi, oh Chen Shi, I've spent my whole life sitting on the throne of the Heavenly King, never moving. You were indeed formidable, managing to seize my power. But this seat is mine, and will always remain mine! You might as well obediently continue as the Heavenly Dao Divine People for the Great Heavenly Venerate!"

His gaze swept toward Xi Muran, unable to hide the joy in his eyes, thinking to himself: "This man is my benefactor, yet now that I send my benefactor on his way, why do I feel a bit happy?"

His lip twitched, unable to suppress the upturned corners of his mouth, so they twitched a few more times, almost revealing his white teeth.

Xi Muran rapidly retreated, and at the same time, a vast and magnificent world appeared above his head.

It was his Dao Realm, with countless Dao Images, much more vast than Chen Shi's.

Facing King Li, even if he were uninjured, he would not be King Li's match, let alone the fact that Chen Shi had severely wounded him.

King Li sneered: "Traitor, killing Heavenly King Chen, how could you escape?"

He struck out with a palm, Xi Muran had already entered his own Dao Realm by now, thousands of miles away from King Li, yet when he looked at King Li, he still appeared just as towering as if he were right in front of him.

He was shocked, realizing this was the Magic Skill King Li had learned from the Ancient Lamp Buddha, called Non-empty Tathagata's Treasury, based on "All Dharma is Void, Only I am Non-empty", refining oneself into the Cosmic Only True Such to attain Great Freedom.

The highest achiever of this cultivation technique was the Non-empty Tathagata, but even the Non-empty Tathagata had not cultivated to the level of the Cosmic Only True Such. Naturally, King Li could not do so either.

However, this cultivation technique was indeed profound. Even across any distance, it was as if King Li were right in front, and any of his attacks were equivalent to face-to-face attacks, whereas anyone attacking King Li would be separated by thousands of miles.

Only those who far surpassed King Li in strength, or had far superior mastery of the Path of Space, could break his Non-empty Tathagata's Treasury.

Facing this simple palm strike, Xi Muran employed every movement technique, but was aghast to find he couldn't evade it.

No matter how fast his figure, no matter how exquisite his movement technique, this palm strike continually approached at a steady speed.

Xi Muran summoned the Great Wilderness Pearl, and with a snap, King Li's palm struck the Great Wilderness Pearl, which immediately shattered completely, then the residual force of this palm fell upon him, and Xi Muran's entire skeleton exploded with a crisp sound, utterly shattered!

His Primordial Spirit also trembled violently, nearly being blasted apart by this palm!

King Li's palm seemed plain and simple, and because it shattered the Great Wilderness Pearl, its power was greatly reduced, but it still nearly took his life with one strike.

Xi Muran tumbled and fell miles away, using his last ounce of strength to close his Dao Realm.

His Dao Realm converged, yet at that moment, he still saw King Li.

This was an almost impossible feat!

Xi Muran's scalp tingled.

His Dao Realm was far southeast in the Earth Immortal Realm, a place named Gui Chuan Immortal Mansion, separated by countless worlds from here!

After closing his Dao Realm, King Li should not have appeared in front of him!

Yet he saw King Li, far away in the Fishery World, right before his eyes!

He was already locked on by King Li; no matter the distance, no matter where he was, he could not escape!

This extraordinary ability made his heart shudder.

"No wonder people say King Li is the foremost under the Daluo Golden Immortal! His Non-empty Tathagata's Treasury has been cultivated to the utmost, one more step and he would become the next Non-empty Tathagata!"

Just as he thought this, he saw King Li raise his hand again, this time forming the Fearless Seal and hurling it towards him.

"My life is over!"

Despair filled Xi Muran as he was about to close his eyes to await death, when suddenly a figure appeared between him and King Li. That figure, clad in a black robe with a red belt, a jade crown on its head, a Treasure Sword at its waist, moved toward King Li, yet somehow severed the Dao energy between Xi Muran and King Li.

Just one person and a sword, the Immortal Sword unsheathed, sharp beyond compare, met King Li's Fearless Seal head-on.

The space trembled violently, and King Li withdrew his hand, a speck of blood red on his palm.

While that black-robed, red-belted figure's body quaked tremendously as well, sheathed his sword, turned and left, not lingering in battle.

"Senior brother!"

Seeing this figure, Xi Muran felt a peace in his heart, for this was indeed the eldest disciple of the Supreme Immortal Emperor, Fan Xiao.

Although Fan Xiao had also studied the Great Wilderness Ming Dao Collection, he did not delve deeply into its Divine Skills, instead choosing the path of Sword Dao and achieving great success. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

His Sword Dao was vast and grand, gaining even the Supreme's approval, saying his Sword Dao was unparalleled and matched those of Daluo.

The confrontation between Fan Xiao and King Li ended in a draw, showcasing his astonishing skill.

Xi Muran exhaled a long breath and whispered, "I owe senior brother my life. His cultivation has grown even higher, perhaps soon he will be able to challenge the Daluo Golden Immortal."

King Li raised his hand, looking at the hole in his palm, this small sword wound made him vigilant.

He was on the path of Immortal and God Cultivation, a route many in the Buddhist follow, and over the years, his Divine Power was second only to the top fifty figures above, and his Cultivation Realm had reached the Taiyi Golden Immortal.

With both Divine Power and Dao Power, he was indeed the foremost under the Daluo Golden Immortal.
