Fantasy: Unparalleled Prince, Conquering the Heavens!-Chapter 600 - 574: Seal of Respect_1
"This..."
In the raging Voidness, the Sea God looked down at his chest, his face filled with astonishment. A blood-red sword mark, almost piercing through his entire upper body, was thousands of feet long and bone-deep. Yet oddly, no blood flowed out. This wasn’t because he possessed some special ability to prevent blood loss, but because the seal of billions of years had exhausted his vital essence.
Damn it! He glared at Cao Cao and Jade Zun in the distance, his eyes revealing a chilling killing intent. How dare these two human ants injure me? Besides his fury, a trace of inexplicable fear also took root. Through the previous battles, I’ve realized my strength is far from its peak. Despite possessing the realm of an Immortal, I can only exert the power of a peak Demi-Immortal. I vaguely sense that the laws of this world have undergone tremendous changes and can no longer withstand combat between Immortals. Plus, I’ve just awakened, my vital energy is depleted, and I can’t engage in a prolonged battle.
"As expected of the former master of the continent, your strength is truly impressive!" Jade Zun muttered, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth. A cold glint flickered in his eyes, and his overwhelming killing intent locked firmly onto the Sea God.
Kick them while they’re down! If we can’t kill the weakened Sea God now, then once he restores his vital essence and breaks through to the Immortal Realm again, it will spell a new disaster for me. Moreover, our purpose for this trip is to seize the Dao Mark on the Sea God’s head.
"Decisive Battle of Guandu!"
Thousands of miles away, Cao Cao didn’t linger. He transformed into a streak of blood-red light and flew towards the Sea God. The terrifying aura of slaughter whipped up a tornado, sweeping through the shattered Voidness. His attack, embodying the principle of the weak overcoming the strong, was perfectly suited for this moment.
"ROAR!"
The Sea God opened his mouth wide. With a burst of blue light, he transformed into a ten-thousand-zhang-long sea dragon. His body was blue and shimmering, as if made of crystal, resembling a work of art. The only flaw was the hideous wound on his abdomen, which disrupted the aesthetic and added a touch of ferocity.
Without obtaining the other three Dao Marks, I will not leave! Otherwise, I wouldn’t have sealed myself for hundreds of billions of years! Blinded by his overwhelming greed, he was completely unaware of the impending danger.
BOOM!
Another earth-shattering explosion sounded. The Sea God was knocked back eight hundred zhang, while Cao Cao was sent flying a thousand zhang. They were almost evenly matched.
"Attack!"
At this moment, Jade Zun’s attack followed. Surging Sword Qi and the might of assembled Immortals manifested, making the Voidness tremble.
"Damn it!" The Sea God, who hadn’t yet recovered, could only hurriedly fight back, holding his golden trident in front of him.
Sparks flew! The Sea God’s body was sent flying again.
Having fully rested, Cao Cao gathered his strength for a powerful attack, thrusting out the Heavenly Sword again, vowing to kill the Sea God and cut him in half.
Thus, under the combined assault of Cao Cao and Jade Zun, the Sea God was beaten with no strength to resist. Moreover, as time passed, the blood essence within the Sea God was rapidly diminishing, nearing depletion.
BOOM!
After thirty rounds, another wound appeared on the Sea God.
Fifty rounds later, a dragon claw was severed.
After a hundred rounds, the once-supreme Sea God, who used to dominate the continent, lay quietly in the Void. His limbs were broken, his dragon scales were dull, his vital blood exhausted, and he was on his last breath.
Jade Zun and Cao Cao approached him step by step, their swords in hand. Their boundless killing intent radiated outwards, distorting the Void.
"No...don’t kill me!" the Sea God weakly begged, his eyes filled with terror. In the face of death, no creature can face death calmly, not even he. His arrogance receded; he had lost all dignity as a divine beast, resembling a mere loach.
"You were once a King. Surely you understand the principle of cutting down the weeds and digging up the roots, don’t you?" Cao Cao’s face was cold, his voice exceptionally chilly. The Heavenly Sword was raised.
A torrent of crimson Sword Qi emerged, piercing the Sea God’s heart.
The Dao Mark! My Dao Mark! The Sea God’s mouth fell slightly open. He strained to turn his head, looking towards Qin Wudao in the distant Void. A glimmer of fierce light flashed in his dim dragon eyes, then they lost their spiritual light, completely devoid of life. Even in death, he was obsessed with the Dao Mark!
WHOOSH!
The next moment, a golden Dao Mark flew out from between the Sea God’s brows. It hung suspended in the Voidness, rotating slowly and emanating a profound energy. This energy, carrying an aura of supreme sovereignty, seemed endless. It pierced through heaven and earth, shattered the firmament, and broke all shackles! Within a thousand miles, everything seemed insignificant! Even the Voidness itself seemed to bow in submission!
Even powerful figures like Jade Zun and Cao Cao couldn’t withstand the immense pressure and involuntarily stepped back.
"Out of the four Dao Marks, this one is the most powerful, isn’t it?" Jade Zun exclaimed. He had seen Qin Wudao deploy the other three Dao Marks; although they were powerful, they were still lacking something compared to this one.
"Once His Majesty arrives and subdues the Dao Mark, we can fully focus on ’It’!" Cao Cao said with a smile. As he spoke, he glanced upwards, as if his gaze could penetrate the endless Voidness to see the most mysterious place on the Primeval Continent.
「A few minutes later.」
Dozens of streaks of light tore through the Voidness.
"How are you both? Are you injured?" Qin Wudao asked worriedly as he stopped, looking at Jade Zun and Cao Cao and noticing the traces of blood at the corners of their mouths. The previous battle had been too perilous. Even from thousands of miles away, a casual glance at the battlefield would cause one’s eyes to ache and soul to feel scorched.
"Your Majesty, please don’t worry, I am unharmed!" Seeing that Qin Wudao was concerned about their safety before the Dao Mark, Cao Cao felt a warmth in his heart and bowed respectfully.
"I’m fine too! Hurry and let the Dao Mark acknowledge its master. The four Dao Marks have gathered together for the first time in countless years!" Jade Zun said with a smile, waving his hand and urging him on.
"Okay!" Qin Wudao nodded and walked towards the Dao Mark suspended in the air.
HUMMM...
As Qin Wudao approached, the suspended Dao Mark trembled violently, transformed into a ray of golden light, and flew into Qin Wudao’s body. Instantly, the three Dao Marks already within his Dantian erupted with dazzling light.
The Heavenly Mark!
The Dao Mark!
The Supreme Mark!
And...
The final ’Sovereign Mark’!
Linked together, these four Dao Marks formed ’Heavenly Sovereign’!
At the same time, a mysterious sensation arose in Qin Wudao’s heart, and a resonant Dao sound echoed in his mind: "The Dao that can be spoken is not the eternal Dao. The name that can be named is not the eternal name. The nameless is the beginning of Heaven and Earth. The named is the mother of all things. Therefore, always be without desire, so that you may observe its subtlety. Always have desire, so that you may observe its manifestations. These two spring from the same source but differ in name; this common source is called Profound. Profound and yet more Profound, the gateway to all subtleties..."
Listening to the Dao sound, Qin Wudao entered a state of comprehending the Dao, and his strength rapidly increased. Furthermore, an intangible ’Dao’ emerged above his head, suppressing Heaven and Earth. This was a new ’Great Dao’, yet it was fundamentally different from the established ’Great Dao’.
...
"Master, the battle in the Void has stopped. Did Qin Wudao obtain the Dao Mark?" Outside the boundless sea stood dozens of figures in black robes. The Soul Emperor, who stood at the forefront, asked in a deep voice.
"Let’s go take a look!" Ravage said, furrowing his brows. As he was outside, he couldn’t determine what had transpired within. He waved his hands. A surge of brutal force tore apart the Void before them. A colossal gate appeared.
The powerful experts filed in one after another and vanished. Only a faint killing intent and wisps of black qi remained, drifting into the distance!
