Don't Mess with That Dragon-Chapter 609 - 58: The Cause and Effect (3)
Even during the ten years Austin spent traveling through the Cangxuan Realm, he had already sensed certain anomalies. However, the final confrontation and battle inevitably happened without warning.
It was an era of indescribable and devastating chaos.
Those ancient relics who had schemed for hundreds or thousands of years emerged in just two to three short years, launching earth-shattering battles to vie for the ultimate Dao Fruit on the path to becoming an Immortal.
The heavens collapsed and the earth shook!
Almost every day, a Venerable fell.
The skies were stained with blood, making the entire world seem to weep.
The war erupted with extreme suddenness. Though it caught Austin by surprise, he had long been prepared in his heart. Having stabilized his position within the Ultimate Venerable Realm for ten years, Austin had already become one of the few exceedingly apex figures of his time.
Though some had attempted to challenge him, they were swiftly subdued by his hand.
Even among Venerables, there is a vast gulf separating them.
Having harvested numerous fruits of space-time power and simultaneously refined the heritage of the Reincarnation Dao Master, Austin paved a path of his own and could now be hailed as the Space-Time Sword Master!
For his sword possesses the power to alter space-time!
His level of power is now no less than that of the top tier powerhouses from tens of thousands of years ago!
An unrestrained clamor of battle culled an unknown number of hidden Venerable monsters, dragging the new generation of geniuses into an arduous struggle, a disaster of epic proportions.
Even the seeds Austin planted long ago mostly perished, leaving only a few who, like true protagonists, broke through numerous hardships, emerging under unfathomable pressure to attain the status of Dharma Venerable, wielding sufficient power for self-preservation.
This left Austin mildly astonished.
For those martial artists whom he considered noteworthy each seemed like characters from stories, possessing the disposition and fortune of true protagonists.
The widespread demise across Central Earth genuinely surprised him.
Still, it was merely a surprise, for now he could more easily harvest those matured fruits.
Throughout this chaotic warfare,
Austin's mindset remained calm and unwavering.
Until a supreme powerhouse sought him out, forcing Austin to exert immense effort to eventually kill his opponent, he uncovered a shocking revelation from that person.
That person was none other than the Master of Kunpeng who had reincarnated into this era, joining the battle of immortals again!
After further investigation, Austin discovered that similar events were not isolated to the Master of Kunpeng alone; many supreme entities from ten thousand years ago had already left behind various measures. Even after being defeated by 'that person,' serving as stepping stones on his Immortal Road, they had found ways to reincarnate and live again.
A thousand years of accumulation has rendered this war exceedingly insane.
And this, too, was one of the reasons the contest of the Immortal Dao commenced so prematurely—the result of these ancient existences from ten thousand years ago fueling events from behind the scenes.
The earlier the war began, the greater the advantage these ancients held, although the odds of their success were comparably lower.
As such, these ancient Venerables even cooperated among themselves to hunt and kill emerging strong figures of the new generation, which was why Austin became a target for the Master of Kunpeng.
It must be said, this was a cleverly designed scheme.
Having been Venerables in their own right for ten thousand years, they naturally wielded the Innate advantage, casting shadows over the Cultivation Realm and silencing the Martial Arts within it, undoubtedly inferring their involvement.
Yet, they failed to account for Austin. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖
The lurking masterminds behind the curtain began to emerge, yet Austin's questions remained unresolved, instead unearthing more mysteries during the process.
Numerous concerns persisted until the Immortal Dao battle reached its climax, and Austin defeated most of his rivals, including those figures from ancient times. He stood on the final stage and, through the guidance of the Heavenly Dao Consciousness, stepped into another space, where he encountered 'that person' entwined with the Heavenly Dao Consciousness, seeking answers to all questions.
In ancient times,
ancient humans emulated the operations of the universe, assimilating Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, heralding the emergence of Qi Cultivation in Martial Arts.
Eventually, as Martial Arts developed with the Human Race out of the ancient wilderness, their growth began to integrate literacy, step by step establishing dominance over the world and ushering Martial Arts into a period of radiant development.
During this lengthy process, the formation of the Heavenly Dao Consciousness commenced as a synthesis of gathering all beings within the universe.
The evolution of Martial Arts and human civilization in some measure accelerated the generation of the Heavenly Dao Consciousness, and its emergence also furthered human and Martial Arts civilization's progress.
The newly born Heavenly Dao Consciousness was but an innocent child, instinctively propelling events favorable to its evolution.
The symbiosis between Heavenly Dao Consciousness, human civilization, and Martial Arts flourished alongside each other.
Until more than ten thousand years ago, this impetus reached its zenith.
The culmination of countless ages of human civilization and Martial Arts converged into a rolling momentum, driving a qualitative transformation of the world towards ascension to a higher echelon.
It wasn't merely the transformation of the world but also that of the Heavenly Dao Consciousness, human civilization, and Martial Arts!
Accrued fate over tens of thousands of years culminated in an unprecedented spectacle that elevated Martial Arts to a higher pinnacle.
This was the origin of the Immortal Road contest!
The Martial Immortal,
a Realm unheard of since the formation of the Cangxuan Realm, also long-pursued by ancient human martial artists, embodying a liminal reality filled with all sublime fantasies, an aggregate encompassing all ideals!
Ten thousand years ago,
during that Immortal Dao confrontation, massive stores of Heaven and Earth fate gave rise to countless prodigies, those at the peak like the Reincarnation Dao Master, Nether Dao Master, and Universal Dao Master, achieved prominence that shook the Cangxuan Realm to its core, attaining unprecedented Realm levels!
However, none crossed that final boundary.
Although they surpassed their predecessors, they did not achieve that legendary omniscience, understanding all hidden secrets of the world, attaining the Primordial Dao Fruit, reigning above the world as Martial Immortals.
Thus, the situation reached an impasse.
Until the brilliant rise of 'that person,' who defeated one Venerable after another, consolidating an invincible momentum, issuing challenges to figures like the Reincarnation Dao Master, those peerless supreme beings, and prevailing in battle.
Through the Immortal Road contest, 'that person' overcame adversaries, finally catalyzing a qualitative transformation in the world's fate, achieving the unprecedented Martial Immortal Realm!
Yet,
this was also the origin of all subsequent causes and effects!
