Junior sister, keep forbear for a while, I almost become invincible as soon!-Chapter 588 Finally Met
The Power of the Great Tao was like a sword in the hands of a Celestial God, cleaving down from the depths of the firmament. Its Power of Destruction, vast and mighty, swept across millions of miles, intent on snuffing out all life.
This was not guided here; rather... a will was taking action, awakening the Heaven Tao Destruction.
The exhilaration of the crowd quickly turned to horror.
Yu Changfeng seemed to sense something, his face changing drastically. "Dammit!"
He had come. Just like in the past, using the same methods to suppress him.
A sword’s cold gleam lit up the Nine Heavens, slashing down with immeasurable power.
Experts from several regions fell silent, quivering, their Divine Souls trembling as they stared at the sky. Amidst the blur, they could vaguely glimpse a towering figure.
Majestic and sacred. Like a God, a Celestial God, or an almighty creator looking down upon the mortal world.
「The Western Wilderness.」
Guang Xiaoyu’s smile froze. She stood motionless, the gentle breeze tousling her long hair.
Behind her, Yun Ze was still rambling, terrified that Guang Xiaoyu would kill her if she said the wrong thing.
「On the land of the Demon Race...」
Zi Ji, who was battling the Demon Race army, subconsciously turned her head, her face etched with urgency. "Jiang."
Jiang Ni’er, possessing the Heaven Insight Body, had sensed the Power of Destruction within the Great Tao the moment it appeared.
This Power of Destruction was far more terrifying than what lingered in the City of Extinction.
She fell silent.
MOO!
Lao Huang bellowed towards the sky, his gaze coldly fixed in that direction.
「On the Ancient Road.」
Wen Yuqing, wielding the Undying Furnace, was battling the Golden Soldiers on the Ancient Road. She was immensely powerful; the Emperor Weapon had awakened, and her own body blazed, pushing her combat strength to its peak.
Sweeping through all opposition, no one could stand against her; even beings like Chiyan were severely wounded by her. She wanted to annihilate Chiyan, but he escaped too swiftly.
At this moment, Wen Yuqing exhaled heavily, her murderous aura greatly diminished. Her bloodstained long dress presented a tragically beautiful sight.
She strained to look in that direction, her lips moving as if she wanted to say something, but her throat felt constricted, and no words came out.
The remaining Golden Soldiers sighed in relief. "The Great One has made his move."
She remained silent, unsure what to say.
The one standing above the heavens is simply too powerful. With my current strength, I can’t face him at all.
He was taking action. He intended to obliterate Chen Pingping.
Countless years had passed. Time and again, she had entered Reincarnation, continuously tempering herself, and time and again, she had fought her way onto this Ancient Road. Her goal was to reach its end, to sweep away all great enemies, suppress the myriad horrors, and avenge the powerful warriors of the Wen Dynasty buried on the Ancient Battlefield.
This wasn’t Wen Yuqing’s first encounter with the figure before her, yet... she felt utterly powerless.
"Ping..." Her mouth opened, as if to smile, but... despair overwhelmed her heart. She could only watch helplessly.
Wen Yuqing trembled. Her eyes, like rippling autumn waters, unwittingly shed clear tears. The flames in the Undying Furnace she held flickered, threatening to extinguish at any moment.
ROAR!
She roared in fury, hair disheveled, her eyes shooting a cold glint towards the sky. As the second strike of the Great Tao’s power descended, she desperately reignited the Undying Furnace, attempting to block the attack.
It is only death. It’s not as if I haven’t died before. But Pingping... he has no Reincarnation. Even if he did, once he fell into it, he probably wouldn’t remember me.
Resolved to die, Wen Yuqing charged towards that celestial expanse.
But the descending Power of the Great Tao was simply too overwhelming. Her attack shattered into pieces long before it reached its target; it was untouchable.
Even the Emperor Weapon could not get close.
「Above the City of Extinction.」
Yu Changfeng took a deep breath, preparing to resist with the ancient cauldron.
Alas!
From within the Heaven Tao Stone, a phantasmal figure emerged. It towered dozens of feet high, dressed in a simple, unadorned Taoist Robe.
It was Daoyan.
He was the world’s sole inheritor of the Daoist lineage.
However, he had already perished. Only a final wisp of his lingering obsession remained, an obsession that perhaps should have completely dissipated years ago.
Had he not sensed Wen Yuqing’s presence, his obsession would not have reawakened.
The Great Emperor, towering as high as the heavens, formed seals with his hands, conjuring a peculiar barrier that staunchly blocked the assault.
The shockwave from the collision swept out like a tsunami. For millions of miles, the land and mountains quivered, and everyone felt an oppressive force bearing down from the sky.
This oppression, assailing both Divine Soul and mortal flesh, instilled an urge to kneel in submission.
It was terrifying.
Liu Changqing, watching the battle from afar, gasped, "Damn it."
Even the ever-composed Liu Changqing finally couldn’t help cursing at this moment. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺
So, Chen Pingping’s backing was this terrifying.
And the figures supporting Chen Pingping were so formidable: Yu Changfeng of the Quasi-Emperor Realm, Daoyan of the Emperor Realm...
With such Protectors by his side, who would dare lay a hand on him?
Alan muttered to herself, "Too terrifying, too terrifying."
"Damn it..." Cang Yun’s eyes bulged, unable to maintain his calm. "But... the one hidden in the sky above seems even stronger. What terrible mistake did this Chen Pingping fellow make?"
It was astounding enough that his Protectors were so powerful, but even the enemy striking to kill him was on such an unreachable level.
Purple Gold Emperor Son: "..."
Emperor Tian: "..."
The Eldest Prince of the Ancient Country, Huang Yixiang, and other top geniuses were all silent, their hearts reeling in shock.
*****
"Wen!" Daoyan whispered, gazing towards the Ancient Road.
He finally saw Wen Yuqing.
The woman, who had always been so fiercely independent, was crying soundlessly.
Daoyan’s heart ached. "It’s me!"
Wen Yuqing remained silent. She didn’t want to face Daoyan in this state, even if it meant they would never meet again.
But?
So often, they had no choice!
"Thank you," Wen Yuqing replied.
"Do we still need ’thank yous’ between us?" Daoyan asked with a wry smile.
"Yes. From long ago until now, I’ve owed you a ’thank you.’ I’m giving it to you now. It’s not enough, I know, but I have nothing more to give." She wiped away the glistening tears, regaining her composure, determined not to let Daoyan see her sorrow.
She had always been stubborn and proud, refusing to show weakness before her companions.
Daoyan saw through her facade, his heart aching with a bitter sorrow. "Then... can you say it one more time?"
"Thank you, Daoyan!" Wen Yuqing said.
"Good... I will do one last thing for you." Daoyan took a deep breath, and his phantasmal figure gradually solidified. But... he looked terribly old at that moment. Though he had the body of a middle-aged man, his face was wrinkled and sallow, devoid of vitality.
Yet, in the next instant, that middle-aged body and aged face rapidly transformed, reverting to his youthful self.
A delicate, fair, and clean-shaven face appeared. His pure, obsidian eyes were as untainted by the world’s dust as they had been all those years ago, as was the Taoist Robe he wore.
For a fleeting moment, Wen Yuqing thought she saw that shy young man from long ago. Her lips parted slightly.
Daoyan chuckled softly. "You needn’t be sad. I have already perished, with no possibility of revival. So... let me do one last thing for you. I hope, this time, you will not fall into Reincarnation again."
He knew the price of falling into Reincarnation—it was cruel and agonizing.
Wen Yuqing did not speak.
Daoyan wanted to say more, but from the heavens above, the third strike descended.
