The Path of the Martial Arts BOSS-Chapter 1203 - 228: Tremors

In the dimly lit secret chamber atop the mountain, a ray of light cast down from above.

Qing Yu bathed in this light, floating mid-air, with hands naturally hanging down, Saint Energy and Demonic Qi intertwined within, circulating like a snake biting its tail.

Ever since he obtained the final Heavenly Demon Bead, Qing Yu began isolating himself to refine the Mystic Universe Sky Crystal and this Heavenly Demon Bead.

This final Heavenly Demon Bead symbolizes collapse, transformed from the Heavenly Demon's Heart. And the place where the Mystic Universe Sky Crystal disintegrates and returns is also the human heart.

Both are absorbed by the heart, and if either integrates with the heart first, Qing Yu would have to remove the heart and generate a new one to refine once again.

This is why, despite achieving Great Success in cultivating the Mystic Universe, he still hadn't refined this final pillar of Sky Crystal.

Now, however, with the last Heavenly Demon Bead in place, refining has naturally begun.

Moreover, due to its special nature, Qing Yu absorbs the Sky Crystal and Demon Bead with both bodies concurrently, merging them while absorbing, significantly speeding up the refining process.

The Holy Light of the Sky Crystal and Demonic Qi of the Demon Bead circulate within the heart, embedded in Saint and Demon balance following Qing Yu's will, propelling his cultivation body towards the Perfect Realm.

Saint and Demonic Energy intertwine into one, mutually generating and opposing each other, evolving the Great Dao infinitely, promoting Realm advancement.

"Swish—"

Behind Qing Yu, Six Wings spread, black and white brilliance flowing on them, sometimes turning black, sometimes white. However, upon closer inspection, it's evident that it's not the wings continually changing colors, but rather two figures each unfurling wings, black and white merging into twelve wings, overlapping each other. The so-called black and white transformation is merely the continual manifestation of the dual wings.

Saint and Demon, creation and destruction, each transform yet unite as one. Separate entities yet complete, this is truly the Perfect state of Qing Yu's Martial Arts, unlike the half-baked condition where Saint Energy and Demonic Qi occupy halves.

Time passes, the merging of Saint and Demonic Energy enters its final state, and those two vaguely merged forms also completely unify, holy and sinister, Holy Light and Demonic Qi intertwined, radiating a seemingly colorless or multi-colored brilliance around Qing Yu.

This brilliance pierced through the secret chamber, spreading across the entire Zhenwu Sect, letting everyone within receive the baptism of brilliance.

Outside the secret chamber atop the mountain, a group of high-ranking members of Zhenwu Sect awaited there. As the brilliance spread, they received its baptism firsthand.

An inexplicable aura generated within them, growing Vitality, channeling Primordial Energy, making everyone feel as though reborn.

"I feel a sense of Vitality nourishment within my body, as if I've become ten years younger."

The first to speak was Xuanfeng, who had aged rapidly due to inner turmoil, languishing for two years, and although later relieved of his vexation, his foundation was harmed, appearing the oldest among his peers despite not being the eldest. Enveloped in a lingering senility.

Today, however, he washed away that elusive senility, rejuvenating anew, his gray beard turning black once more.

Others may not have shown evident effects, but they too received considerable benefits.

For instance, Xuanzhen, this Xuanzu generation elder second only to Xuanzhen in talent, felt his nearly breakthrough foundation deepened, assured of breaking through to Divine Communication.

Diverse fortunes, each unique, bestowed upon all.

However, Xuanzhen, standing at the forefront, received the least benefit, given his dual cultivation with Qing Yu, he had virtually gained all potential benefits, reaching completion.

"Rumble—"

Amidst self-examination, the stone gate of the chamber slowly opened, revealing a slightly blurred figure.

"Greet Daoist Master."

Except Xuanzhen, everyone respectfully saluted in unison.

[Dispense with the etiquette.]

The deep voice carried immense majesty, prompting the bowing crowd to lower heads even more, while the trembling sense of vagueness evoked a palpable powerful impact upon everyone.

No, not a mere sensation, but actual force.

Staring at Qing Yu first to discover his anomaly, Xuanzhen saw him as if within a blurred mirror, surrounding space occasionally trembling, rendering speech both deep and distorted.

The impact felt by everyone was an invisible force caused by spatial vibration.

"Qing Yu, what happened?" Xuanzhen asked.

Just observing Qing Yu gave a sense of a mortal facing the vast sea, the surging tides threatening to swallow observers at any moment.

[Excessively inflated power is causing current space unable to withstand my pressure. Without opening the Limit of Human and God, space cannot contain my presence. Now, I possess power exceeding the Extreme Dao limit.]

Qing Yu's lips remained still, but his deep and indistinct voice continued, exerting further pressure near everyone.

This wasn't Qing Yu losing control of his strength, but rather excessively inflated power making him a massive entity, unable to confine this spatial tremor phenomenon within his surroundings was Qing Yu's utmost effort.

[I've sensed the loosening of the Limit of Human and God, it seems Sword God has already acted.] Qing Yu continued.

"Supreme Taoist has already faced Sword God twice, Human Emperor also seems to have appeared within the Central Province. Northern Zhou shows restless intent, but due to Emperor Zhou's closed-door healing, and your seclusion, Ren Piaomiao is whereabouts unknown, hence hasn't acted." Xuanzhen stated.

"Three days ago, Daqian was annihilated, Pei Dongliu rescued by Xue Ya, Mu Cangsheng burned by ghost flames within the Imperial Palace, Yama is whereabouts unknown. Now, Heavenly Capital and the entire Central Province have been taken by Northern Zhou. In Ling Province, Hou Huai is persuading Prince Zhen Shan to have Southern Border submit to Northern Zhou.

The world is in ruins, yet signs of a new dynasty emerge." Xuanzhen briefly narrated recent events.

[Unstable times still persist. Though Daqian is gone, Human Emperor remains. Peace prevails but enemies endure. Only by extinguishing both Supreme Taoist and Human Emperor shall true termination arrive, and prosperity follow.

Watch, Sword God has set the stage, the final battle is imminent.]

[Hehe, I wonder Sword God ascended to what level, having received my gift, colliding with Supreme Taoist during the Limit of Human and God challenge. But soon, Tribulation Qi gathering accelerates, Supreme Taoist is losing patience.]

Supreme Taoist must have held back, waiting for Sword God's tribulation sword peak moment, only then does he pressure Heavenly Dao to open a backdoor.

He has confidence to overpower Sword God, for Sword God isn't Qing Yu, causing Supreme Taoist repeated setbacks.

[Though Supreme Taoist can halt Sword God, he cannot stop me. The future has been set, the endpoint singular.]

The blurred figure's eyes flashed with lethal light, the unconsciously released aura momentarily, invoking a whimper throughout the Secret Realm's space.
