The Path of the Martial Arts BOSS-Chapter 1263 - 288: The Dao Shifts with the World

There was no prelude, nor any probing. As soon as the Sword God acted, it was his ultimate move.

The sword is the Dao.

The Sword God transformed himself into a blade, investing everything into this one sword. This sword uses his essence, slashing at essence.

This sword already has the embryonic form of combat in the Tao Realm, because each collision in the Tao Realm is a fusion attack of will, physique, True Qi, and Primordial Spirit, much like the Sword God's sword.

The blade cut through the air, breaking the Sword Qi that filled the land, directly targeting the enemy before him—Ren Piaomiao.

Facing this sword, Ren Piaomiao similarly swung out a blade. This sword was identical to the Sword God's sword, merging all power, unrestricted by True Qi, Primordial Spirit, or Sword Intent.

With Qing Yu's true Realm, swinging out this sword is much easier than for the Sword God, because he himself is the Tao Realm, and at this moment, Ren Piaomiao is merely his avatar.

However...

"Still not pure enough."

The instant the sword and blade clashed, Ren Piaomiao realized that in the contest of purity above the sword and blade, he had lost.

Ultimately, he was not as pure as the Sword God; he could not reach the extreme Realm of blade and sword, nor was his focus on the Sword Dao.

However, in terms of strength, Ren Piaomiao still had the upper hand.

When the sword and blade clashed, Blade Energy shattered Sword Qi, but the Sword God's sword was burst apart by the Nirvana gathered with the intent of Ten Thousand Swords. The blade's light slanted to the ground not far away, the Sword God reverting to his form, finding blood dribbling from the corner of his mouth.

"Zing—"

The sharp edge penetrated the earth, going deep into the ground by thousands or tens of thousands of meters, the spilling energy turning the surrounding terrain into a mountain of swords and sea of blades.

The earlier sword blade clash seemed light and simple, just the contact of sword and blade, but the sharpness centralized on the sword and blade could heavily injure any Supreme and even kill them.

"In a pure sword blade contest, I am not your equal," Ren Piaomiao stepped forward, "but in overall strength, you cannot match me."

If it were ten years ago, Ren Piaomiao could have a dragon versus tiger battle with the Sword God. But today, ten years on, if he were still in a stalemate with the Sword God, that would be underestimating ten years.

Although his main body had already proven the Dao, Ren Piaomiao's avatar couldn't step into the Tao Realm. But below the Tao Realm, Ren Piaomiao could walk freely.

Sword Wings stretched behind him, their ends probing into the void, with his every move causing the surrounding space to transform.

If Ren Piaomiao wished, he could make the space covered with Sword Intent his sword, piercing the enemy's weak points. Previously, Yun Qiong Taoist's serious injury was caused by the omnipresent Space Sword.

"A shame, Sword God." Ren Piaomiao glanced at the Sword God again, shaking his head.

The Sword God awoke too late; only after the great battle did he awaken. What's the point of reaching Extreme Dao now, when those fighting for dominance in the East Province are in the Tao Realm?

"The future of the world, the future of Martial Arts still needs people like you. Sword God, I will not kill you."

But I won't let you off easily either.

This phrase Ren Piaomiao did not say; he just placed his hand on the Sword God's forehead, imprinting a door-like mark between his eyebrows.

This is the mark of the Door of All Wonders, a gift from Qing Yu to a person of value. In the future, the Sword God's insights and achievements in the Sword Path will be copied by the Door of All Wonders and transmitted to Qing Yu's main body.

The future of Martial Arts, the Realm above Tao, Qing Yu does not know of either. So he has made preparations, leaving some backups.

"And you."

Ren Piaomiao looked towards Yun Qiong, his gaze turning into tangible Sword Light, pinning him to the ground, "You have gained a lot from Yanmo Hanba's heart; you seem to have almost recovered in a short time."

"Ha~" Yun Qiong, originally about to flee, seeing escape was impossible, sneered mockingly at Ren Piaomiao, "It wasn't me that gained a lot from the heart, but the Dao Ancestor. Qing Yu, can you guess what means Dao Ancestor has prepared to deal with you?"

"Haha... hahaha... ...."

Knowing he can't escape, Yun Qiong laughed loudly at Ren Piaomiao, mocking his failure.

Yanmo Hanba was one of Qing Yu's most successful experiments. The Yanmo Hanba with an already amazing demonic body advanced even faster after beginning Divine Demon Body Refining than Yun Wuyue, who had obtained Qing Yu's Source Blood.

The Dao Ancestor gaining Yanmo Hanba's heart surely reaped significant rewards.

And in the next moment, Qing Yu finally understood what the Dao Ancestor had gained.

Over the East Province, the all-encompassing Xuan Yuan One Qi once again turned into a human shape; the body had 1,296 acupoints, matching the One Element. Inside each acupoint, Pure Qi was contained, faintly forming a human shape.

When gathered, it was Supreme; when scattered, it became Qi. The Dao Ancestor had long cultivated Xuan Yuan One Qi to the ultimate Realm; he was Qi, which could form a person.

Once the corresponding mysteries are understood, with the Dao Ancestor's capability, changing the cultivation body is but a momentary task. Since he could update his Martial Arts to the point of millennia ahead, naturally altering the cultivation body is no challenge.

"The Dao moves with the world; Yun Qiong, you should understand the meaning of this phrase now."

The Dao Ancestor's form finally became normal human-sized, blocking the grand Fist Power with one palm, saying blandly: "I researched Yanmo Hanba's heart for ten years, and through the battle with you earlier, I understood your cultivation body's form, thus managed to transform into this Tai Chu Dao Body. Yun Qiong, you are like a mirror, revealing my deficiencies, guiding the right direction."

Finally, the Dao Ancestor revealed his greatest trump card, clarifying his motive.

He was learning from Qing Yu, aiming to exhaust the secrets of Qing Yu's cultivation body, and then counterattack Qing Yu, seizing everything from him.

"Tai Chu Dao Body... ..."

Qing Yu's eyes flickered with a dazzling divine light, observing the Dao Ancestor's so-called Tai Chu Dao Body.

Using Xuan Yuan One Qi as the base, replicating a similar Dao Body, indirectly possessing the Human Immortal Martial Arts' Human Immortal Physique, the Dao Ancestor's talent left Qing Yu in shock.

With such an ability, Qing Yu had no doubt that even if there were an apocalypse, the Dao Ancestor could fully survive and comprehend a new transformation.

The Dao moves with the world; what a Dao moves with the world.

"Compared to the Buddha, Dao Ancestor, you are far stronger. In terms of strength and wisdom, you amaze me."

Qing Yu deeply sighed: "If I had truly decided to have a Daoist Orthodoc contest with you at the beginning, relying on the Daoist Orthodoc, then hundreds, thousands of years later, the one who might lose would be me. Thankfully, thankfully!"

Why thankful? Naturally, it was because of the decisive overturning of the table, engaging in a deadly battle with the Dao Ancestor. Otherwise, after hundreds of thousands of years, even a system-holding Qing Yu might fail to keep up with the Dao Ancestor's progress.

To deal with the Dao Ancestor, it should have been cut off at the start. Otherwise, letting it develop, who knows what kind of monster might emerge.
