The Path of the Martial Arts BOSS-Chapter 1206 - 231: Supreme Unbeaten

"Clang——"

As the sword and hand clashed, another sword cry echoed. Behind the Sword God appeared the Sky-reaching Sword Tower, countless Sword Intents swirling rapidly around it, creating a magnificent spectacle.

"Sword Realm!"

The Supreme Taoist Dao Master felt another jolt of shock, "He actually entrusted all this to you!"

He couldn't help but be surprised, for it was known that Ren Piaomiao had survived the combined assaults of the Sword God and the Supreme Tao Master relying on the might of this Sword Realm.

The Sword Realm, having absorbed the Sword Intents of the Sword God, Sword Master, Ren Piaomiao, and others, possessed a power akin to the Extreme Dao, not to be underestimated in the slightest.

And when an Extreme Swordsman bore the Sword Realm, that power...

"Hiss——"

The tip of the Heavenly Talent Sword pierced into the palm of the Supreme Tao Master, where the Killing Tribulation Sword Energy collided with the Xuan Yuan One Qi within his hand, shredding everything below the elbow into oblivion.

"Heavenly Sword Technique."

The Sword God pursued, the Heavenly Talent Sword sweeping horizontally, cutting him once more, only to be blocked by the Heavenly Wheel.

"Zizizi······"

The peerlessly sharp Divine Weapon and the Heavenly Dao Power comprising the Heavenly Wheel scraped intensely, producing a piercing sound that contorted and warped the surrounding Primordial Energy.

"Boom——"

The Supreme Tao Master channeled his energy in a furious shock, shaking off the sword edge, rapidly retreating. Simultaneously, Xuan Yuan One Qi transformed at his right arm's wound, instantly reforming the severed limb.

At the same time, he formed his hands into circles, as the Xuan Yuan One Qi in his hands formed into a transparent mirror, swallowing the oncoming Sword Qi, "Supreme Unbeaten."

Spreading his hands, the Xuan Yuan Mirror expanded like a bubble, dissolving all the Killing Tribulation Sword Energy.

"I have already found a way to break your Sword Dao."

In Supreme Unbeaten, the next layer beneath the highest is that of victory through failure. The concept is that the highest level is invincibility, followed by methods of success through failure.

This technique is a cumbersome art relying heavily on accumulation, yet in the hands of successive Supreme Tao Masters, it has become stronger and stronger with each generation.

Once any martial art is revealed too many times before the Supreme Tao Master, it inevitably becomes exposed, and once exposed, it poses no threat.

The Supreme Tao Master had often sparred with the Sword God, understanding him a bit more with each encounter. If, at any time, the Sword God failed to advance beyond the last time, it became much harder to face the Supreme Tao Master directly.

"I've fought you all many times—not without purpose."

The Xuan Yuan transforms all things, the One Qi dissolving all Qi. Wherever the Qi Mechanism of the Supreme Tao Master reached, even Tribulation Qi was nullified, and the frost-white Sword Qi, comprising the Doomsday Myth and his own Tribulation Qi, only lasted a few breaths longer.

Evidently, the Supreme Tao Master's previous battles served as groundwork for this moment. Or rather, this preparation had been underway one or two years prior.

Whether it was the Sword God, the Human Emperor, or Qing Yu, the Supreme Tao Master's encounters with these individuals had one aim—to kill if possible, collect information if not.

Now, the Supreme Tao Master was sufficiently confident in dealing with the Tribulation Qi and the Sword God, naturally no longer needing to hide anything.

He was assured of his victory.

Yet, facing Supreme Unbeaten, the Sword God's Sword Qi did not change in the slightest. He wielded the sword to cleave straight through, the frost-white Sword Qi remaining as ever, "It may be broken, but only because it is not strong enough. I do not believe your Supreme Unbeaten is omnipotent."

In an instant, the Sword Realm Illusion merged into the Sword God's body, causing the Heavenly Talent Sword to resonate violently with a hum. With one swing of the sword, heaven and earth parted, slicing even the Xuan Yuan One Qi, unable to gather again. Before the Sword Qi even arrived, a sword mark appeared upon the Heavenly Wheel, and in less than a moment, the Heavenly Talent Sword descended.

"To you, my Supreme Unbeaten is indeed omnipotent."

The slow-spoken words entered the Sword God's mind in an instant. The Supreme Tao Master, as one with the Heavenly Dao, rotated the Heavenly Wheel, which slowly dissipated this sword that cleaved all things.

"With the Heavenly Dao's blessing, far surpassing the Sword Realm, what of merging the Sword Realm into your body?"

The Heavenly Wheel rotated, its radiant brilliance expanding like a bright mirror, dissolving the Tribulation Qi surrounding the last Sword Pillar in the vicinity. Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi surged, forming into a Great Seal, pressing steadily onto the Sword Pillar behind the Sword God.

"The skills all of you have cultivated draw from Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, and today, you seek to defy the heavens, indeed deserving of death. Under the Heavenly Dao, there will be no chance of rebellion for you."

In his silvery-white eyes seemed two light wheels with the forty-nine Dao patterns revolving. At this moment, the Supreme Tao Master had completely shed his human nature, as if heaven and Dao, retaining only human form.

"Harmonization, Harmonization······" The distant Human Emperor sighed softly, "Never imagined one's heart in pursuit of Dao could be so obstinate, willing to harmonize Dao for the sake of achieving Dao."

Harmonization, is to merge oneself into the Heavenly Dao, no longer retaining human heart and human nature, acting only according to the rules of heaven and nature.

The First Generation Human Emperor also once had the opportunity for harmonization. When he became the first being to touch the Tao Realm, he had the chance to achieve Dao.

By choosing harmonization, his aged body would no longer bind him, and he would gain unprecedented power.

Yet, if one abandons their heart for power and immortality, what difference does death make? Believing you have gained eternal life and strength is a blessing, yet unknown is that upon Dao harmonization, all emotions—whether positive or negative—are erased, leaving even the existence of self-awareness questionable.

The Human Emperor actually didn't covet the power of immortality within the Tao Realm, so he chose to abandon harmonization but drew inspiration from it to create the Heavenly Dao belonging to the Human Race, which is the Human Dao.

"Merging with heaven is not as good as merging with humanity. Even if it means giving up self-awareness, I am more willing to abandon it for my Human Race. This is my thought, as well as that of the other eight Human Emperors.

But unexpectedly, I never lost self-awareness, merely slumbering within the Human Dao Will. Only after hundreds or thousands of years, did I awaken during a certain opportunity." The Human Emperor muttered as he gazed upon that celestial figure.

Everyone has their own creed; a true warrior is one who steadfastly adheres to their principles. In this, the Human Emperor is very similar to the Supreme Tao Master.

For his principles, the Human Emperor chose to merge into the Earth Veins, creating the Dragon Vein. For his lifelong wish to achieve Dao, the Supreme Tao Master chose to fully harmonize with Dao.

Now, having touched the Tao Realm like the Human Emperor, yet with the Heavenly Dao Power's blessing, he rivals the Human Emperor at his peak.

"Prepare to act."

The Human Emperor slowly straightened his back, which had been hunched over after being heavily wounded, standing as straight as a whip, "The Supreme Tao Master has reached a certain critical point, and without additional pressure, we cannot be sure the Heavenly Dao will not allow him to transcend the realm.

Compared to the Buddha of old, the current Supreme Tao Master is truly one with the Heavenly Dao. Allowing him to transcend is actually the best choice."

The Buddha might abandon the Heavenly Dao, but the Supreme Tao Master would never do so. Having harmonized with Dao, the Supreme Tao Master has shed all human nature, retaining only the impartiality of the Heavenly Dao. He would be the best executor of the Heavenly Dao.
