Fantasy: Unparalleled Prince, Conquering the Heavens!-Chapter 609 - 583: Sovereign Power Controls the Sky_1
RUMBLE...
Qin Wudao hovered in the air, his expression solemn, his eyes glittering like stars. The aura of an Emperor enveloped him, akin to an intimidating prison. Wherever his voice echoed, the Void rippled, and three thousand laws yielded as if paying homage to their king. He was like a sun in the sky, his imperial aura illuminating the entire universe.
Within the Saint’s Court of the Qin Dynasty, everyone and everything, from mighty Martial Artists to beasts yet to attain Enlightenment, felt an innate sense of submission. They bowed their heads and bent their waists in respect.
Underneath the heavens and beyond the four seas, only one person stood tall: Qin Wudao! Across mountains and rivers, throughout all territories, only one voice echoed: the voice of the Emperor!
"Submit!"
"Submit!"
"Submit..."
The majestic imperial voice resounded in the ears of the Heavenly Dao, causing its trembling to intensify. The Dao-light it emanated flickered erratically, as if it were contemplating, yet also resisting.
"To make the Heavenly Dao submit—what audacity!" exclaimed the old blind man in the Imperial Astronomical Bureau. He leaned slightly, marveling as he pondered the causes and consequences. He had previously found it strange that Qin Wudao hadn’t assisted the Heavenly Dao. It turned out Qin Wudao had a much deeper scheme. If the Heavenly Dao acknowledged him as its master, Qin Wudao would ascend above it. He would achieve a power transcending even heavenly authority, no longer being the Son of Heaven, but the Master of Heaven!
"What?"
Within the collapsing Heavenly Universe, the Great Dao heard Qin Wudao’s roaring command. Initially, it was stunned and did not react, even questioning if it had misheard.
Make the ’Heavens’ submit? Is this even possible?
"Damn it! He dares to try and subjugate the ’Heavens’? He must be put to death!"
Subsequently, when the Great Dao finally reacted, it was incandescent with fury. Its anger blazed like a raging fire, scorching the East Border’s Heavenly Universe crimson. Fragments of burning space occasionally rained down, vanishing like shooting stars.
"Destroy!" the Great Dao roared, erupting once more. A downpour of heavenly thunder fell, and boundless Dao-light scattered, causing the world to tremble and all things to fall silent.
BANG! 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺
The Heavenly Dao was sent flying again. One strand of Origin Power after another shattered within it, and it suffered heavy damage.
Qin Wudao remained unfazed, seemingly unconcerned that the Heavenly Dao might be erased. This terrified the Heavenly Dao. It had just been born and did not want to die yet!
WHOOSH!
Helpless, the Heavenly Dao flew into the Investiture of the Gods, accepting its enlistment.
Vast Edict Power surged into the Heavenly Dao’s body.
Imperial Power rose!
Dao Power sank!
"I, in my capacity as the Emperor of the Qin Dynasty, hereby enfeoff the Heavenly Dao as ’Universal Heaven’! It shall be positioned beneath the Fortune of the Qin Dynasty, carry out heavenly duties, maintain the operation of the Qin Dynasty’s Heavenly Universe, and shall not interfere in worldly affairs or matters of state..." Qin Wudao commanded loudly, his imperial might as vast as the heavens. Only then did he inwardly sigh in relief.
The imperial order was issued.
Within the Investiture of the Gods, beneath Qin Wudao’s name, golden characters materialized. Assembled, they read: "Original Continent, Qin Dynasty Saint’s Court, Second Highest Honored Position: ’Universal Heaven’ Heavenly Dao"!
"This..." an astonished look flashed through the Great Dao’s eyes. "Heavenly Dao, do you have no dignity?! A noble ’Heavenly Sovereign’ like you, submitting to a lowly human?!" it roared, full of disdain and exasperation.
It was in big trouble! it realized. After the Heavenly Dao’s submission, Qin Wudao would undoubtedly use the dynasty’s power to help the Heavenly Dao seize authority. Previously, it had never paid any mind to the Saint’s Court of the Qin Dynasty. But things were different now. Augmented by the Heavenly Dao, the Saint’s Court would be millions of times more terrifying than before. After all, this was the Qin Dynasty’s home ground!
"Imperial Power commands the Heavens!" Qin Wudao roared, his imperial robe whipping in the wind, his aura more imposing than the heavens themselves.
The Fortune of the Qin Dynasty surged, blending with the Heavenly Dao and successfully mending its injuries. In turn, the Heavenly Dao reciprocated by nurturing the Qin Dynasty. Whether it was the power of Fortune, imperial authority, or Edict Power, all became infused with Dao Power, creating a terrifyingly potent combination.
"Battle!" Qin Wudao declared, raising his head. He could see the celestial dome above teeming with the power of the Great Dao—a sight he had never witnessed before the Heavenly Dao’s submission. He forcefully swung the Xuanyuan Sword in his right hand. It condensed a supreme Sword Qi, his aura surging like a flood, accompanied by the power of the Heavenly Dao. With this strike, he shattered all the power of the Great Dao that crowded the sky over the Imperial Capital.
Instantly, a gap was torn through the sky. Seizing the opportunity, the Heavenly Dao’s boundless light flickered as it took control of this segment of the Heavenly Universe.
"Annihilate!" the Great Dao roared, unable to contain its rage. It summoned billions of heavenly thunderbolts, which transformed into a sea of lightning—an annihilating force surging towards the Heavenly Dao.
"How dare you act so wantonly in my domain?" Qin Wudao’s majestic voice reverberated across the universe. A supreme force burst forth, blocking all the falling heavenly thunderbolts, preventing them from advancing even an inch. Wielding heavenly thunder in battle was not solely the Great Dao’s prerogative; it was also an inherent ability of the Heavenly Dao. Now, as the master of the Heavenly Dao and the Lord of the Saint’s Court of the Qin Dynasty, Qin Wudao naturally had no fear of heavenly thunder.
RUMBLE...
After a brief stalemate, the billions of heavenly thunderbolts exploded.
"Damn it!" Countless threads of Dao-light emerged from the Great Dao’s eye, coalescing into a ball of ghastly white heavenly fire. Fanned by the wind, it intensified explosively, instantly enveloping the entire Saint’s Court of the Qin Dynasty. The previously stabilizing Heavenly Universe began to collapse once more.
"Nine Dragons Formation, activate!" Qin Wudao commanded. Countless golden dragons soared into the sky, forming a massive Formation in an attempt to block the heavenly fire. However, upon mere contact, they were incinerated.
"Power of the myriad armies, engage!" another command rang out. Around the Imperial Capital, all the armies of the Saint’s Court of the Qin Dynasty materialized, their combined will forming dozens of colossal Army Souls.
Qin Wudao’s expression was grim. An imperial phantom materialized behind him, absorbing the strength of all the Army Souls. His aura skyrocketed once more as he unleashed another stunning sword strike. This sword strike merely slowed the descent of the heavenly fire; it failed to extinguish it.
"Power of Fortune, lend your strength!"
"Power of Faith, lend your strength!"
Qin Wudao’s black hair billowed wildly. His imperial body acted like a sponge, absorbing all available power as he charged towards the heavenly fire.
"Your Majesty!" cried the horrified officials of the Qin court, their faces etched with worry.
Even the old blind man in the Imperial Astronomical Bureau held his breath, watching with rapt attention.
BOOM!
The Heavenly Universe of the East Border shattered completely. One terrifying stream of Sword Qi after another shot forth, tearing the heavenly fire apart and revealing gaps thousands of miles wide. Although effective, it seemed insignificant against the heavenly fire that blanketed the entire East Border. Sparks rained down, caught by the Formations below, only to erupt into roaring infernos.
"Burn!" the Great Dao shrieked. "Burn for me!"
Myriad streams of heavenly fire, like dragons, relentlessly seared Qin Wudao.
"ROAR!"
Traversing the heavenly fire, Qin Wudao suffered grievously. His entire body was charred, his Nine Dragons Imperial Robe was scorched, his hair was singed, his throat was parched, and his skin cracked.
"Slash!"
Despite this, Qin Wudao showed no sign of retreat. Like a god or a demon, a seemingly indomitable existence, he carved open new expanses of sky one after another.
A true sovereign defends his nation to the death! This battle is for victory, or it is for martyrdom!
"I’d like to see just how much Fortune and Faith you have to squander!" the Eye of the Great Dao observed coldly from above, further intensifying the heavenly fire.
For a time, the continent’s temperature skyrocketed; the East Border had become a complete fireball. Countless powerful experts observing from afar were blinded by the glare, tears of blood streaming down their faces as they screamed in pain and hastily averted their gazes.
Even the Jade Emperor and ’Catastrophe’ could not penetrate the veil to see the situation in the East Border.
