183: Chapter 183 Imperial Technique: Born from the Realm Sword

"This brat is truly arrogant, actually daring to let the Great Emperor strike first. Is he not afraid that he won't even have the chance to unleash a Divine Ability?"

The Cultivators on the viewing platform were indignant.

That was a Great Emperor!

Even when suppressed to the Quasi-Emperor Realm, the might of that emperor technique was no small matter.

If he were to strike first, ordinary quasi-emperors would probably not even have the chance to unleash a Divine Ability.

"In that case, this Emperor shall let you witness what an emperor technique truly is!" After being slightly stunned, Emperor Qiongwu spoke.

As he spoke, his gaze also turned fierce.

His long hair fluttered, shimmering with a purplish-golden glow.

An intangible Great Emperor Dao rhythm permeated from his body.

That came from the Laws of the emperor technique, not yet the true power of a Great Emperor.

"Please!" Xie Wushang extended his hand.

A trace of Dao rhythm also permeated his body, and his eyes looked toward Emperor Qiongwu, ready to strike at any moment.

Emperor Qiongwu stood on no ceremony. Looking at Xie Wushang, he said, "I use physical force to prove the Dao, and the Profound Truth of the Dao... is to break all Laws with force, shatter the cosmos, and grind down all Dao... This Divine Ability of mine is named: Treading Among the Rivers of Stars, Steps Concealing the Heavens and Earth..."

Whoosh!

As he spoke, with a single step from high in the air, he stomped down toward Xie Wushang below.

Boom!

The instant that foot stomped down, ripples spread across the Void Realm, and Xie Wushang only felt the river of stars above his head shifting and changing.

The previous scene vanished.

In its place, right above his head, was a gigantic foot.

That foot filled the Void Realm, transforming into a vault of heaven that covered the heavens and earth, with rivers of stars flowing within it, blocking out all external sights.

The vast sky from before could no longer be seen, nor could the Emperor Rankings standing beneath the starry river, or the countless ancient steles of the Great Emperors.

A single step... changed the heavens and earth!

Boom!

The giant foot descended.

It shook the Void Realm below, causing space itself to begin shattering.

Accompanying it was a vast, boundless might that suppressed mountains and rivers, pressing down so hard that the Emperor Battle Stage below trembled as if it were about to collapse.

Layers of Great Emperor formation patterns manifested on the Emperor Battle Stage to resist that force and prevent the stage from collapsing.

Boom!

Even so, a vast force still reverberated outward, violently slamming against the Seal barrier enveloping the Emperor Battle Stage, causing it to tremble continuously.

It was as though it were being constantly pounded by ten thousand layers of terrifying waves, appearing as if it could shatter at any moment. The contained pressure chilled people to the bone.

The Cultivators on the nearby viewing platforms couldn't help but quietly retreat a thousand meters, ready to flee at a moment's notice.

They were clearly terrified that the Restriction light barrier of the Emperor Battle Stage would shatter and they would be caught in the supreme might contained within, perishing right then and there.

"Could this strike crush the Divine Son of Jiang to pieces?" You Qingxuan looked toward the giant foot in the sky above the battle stage ahead.

His heart was about to leap out of his chest.

The immense power contained within that foot was infinitely close to that of a Great Emperor.

If an ordinary quasi-emperor were to step up and fight, that pressure alone would likely crush them into pieces.

"As expected of an ancient Great Emperor... Their emperor technique is far beyond the comparison of ordinary figures in the Emperor Realm." You Qianyu said with a fiery expression.

"This..." The Cultivators of the Jiang Clan all felt their hearts leap into their throats.

The scene manifesting on the Emperor Battle Stage ahead was simply too terrifying.

Their hearts beat wildly as they asked themselves; they would definitely be unable to resist it.

How should the current Divine Son of Jiang face such an overbearing and peerless emperor technique?

"Daddy, how will you resolve this emperor technique?"

Jiang Nianyang, Jiang Ruoxi, Li Hao, and Tushan Qingqing all widened their eyes as they looked toward their daddy.

They were all filled with anticipation, wanting to see what kind of emperor technique their daddy would display to counter the strike of the ancient Great Emperor.

Xie Wushang stood proudly on the Emperor Battle Stage, looking up high into the air at the foot that seemed to have transformed into the vault of heaven as it stepped down.

"Good, what a fine 'Treading Among the Rivers of Stars, Steps Concealing the Heavens and Earth...' With a single footstep, an entire realm presses down from above."

He praised aloud.

Within this single step, it was as if an entire realm was contained, gathering vast and boundless power inside it.

Truly the ultimate limit of physical force.

"In that case, let me see just how powerful your step truly is! Can it bend this one's spine?" Xie Wushang's gaze condensed, and his body soared straight up, directly greeting the foot that was suppressing downward from high above.

"Is the Divine Son of Jiang planning to forcefully withstand a strike from an ancient Great Emperor?"

"Could he be confident enough to rival an ancient Great Emperor?" Seeing this, the pupils of the Cultivators from various races all constricted, revealing looks of shock.

At the same time, the Cultivators from various races were also full of anticipation.

They wanted to see what Divine Ability Xie Wushang would display to block this foot that pressed down like the vault of heaven.

"This style of my emperor technique is named... Sword Born From the Realm... A Single Sword Breaks All Laws!" Xie Wushang spoke leisurely.

As he spoke, the index and middle fingers of his right hand merged together into a sword, thrusting straight toward the vault of heaven.

With this sword thrust, a vast Sword Qi also surged into the sky from his body.

In an instant, Xie Wushang seemed to transform into a sword, soaring upward and piercing through the Void Realm. The Sword Qi erupting from his body transformed once again into a river of swords; wherever it passed, the Void Realm collapsed, and the boundless might coming from the giant foot high above could not obstruct him in the slightest.

He moved as if entering an uninhabited realm, appearing high in the sky in a flash, the Sword Qi bursting from his fingertips already piercing onto that giant foot.

Boom!

The Sword Qi stabbed into the foot that resembled the vault of heaven, causing ripples to spread across it before it immediately caved inward.

Witnessing this scene, the pupils of the Cultivators from various races constricted, their faces full of shock.

"How is this possible! Why hasn't the Divine Son of Jiang been suppressed? How could he fly into the high sky so smoothly?"

Countless people had turbulent thoughts, unable to stop themselves from widening their eyes.

You must know that even outside the Emperor Battle Stage, they had all felt a terrifying emperor's might.

The Restriction light barrier of the Emperor Battle Stage ahead seemed as though it could be shattered at any moment by the force of that single step.

Yet at this moment, that younger generation member soared straight up under such terrifying power, without being suppressed in the slightest.

This completely exceeded all common sense.

"Is he even human?"

"Could he... could he be a Great Emperor undergoing Nirvana and recultivating?" Many Cultivators whispered.

Even the quasi-emperors of various races held their breath, their moods incomparably complex.

Comparing person to person, why wasacademia so massive?

Clearly, they themselves were also Prodigies of a region, once serving as divine sons who suppressed their peers within their clans for a period of time.

Yet now, in front of the Divine Son of Jiang before them, everything appeared so pale and powerless.

That name of Prodigy was simply like a joke.

"This is... a Sword Dao Divine Ability... The Divine Son of Jiang actually masters the Law of the Sword Dao!"

The quasi-emperors of the Qin Clan and the Dugu Clan both flickered their gazes, their faces grave.

Both of these clans cultivated the Sword Dao.

If one more person mastered the Law of the Sword Dao, there would be one more enemy on the future path of proving the Dao to become an emperor.

After all, the branches of the Great Dao contained within the Sword Dao were also limited.

Therefore, many imperial clans cultivating the exact same Great Dao would mostly be in hostile relationships.

Amidst everyone's astonishment, the Sword Qi at Xie Wushang's fingertips had already pierced and shattered the light barrier generated by the foot in the vault of heaven.

Taking advantage of the momentum, his body surged upward, resembling a sharp sword that pierced right through that gigantic foot.

Sword light bloomed, splitting open the canopy of heaven.

Bang!

Instantly, a loud explosion rang out, and that gigantic foot shattered.

High in the vault of heaven, the colors of heaven and earth changed, revealing the vast starry sky from before.

It also revealed the Emperor Rankings standing proudly beneath the vault of heaven, as well as the ancient emperor Qiongwu who looked down upon the world with disdain.

At this moment, Emperor Qiongwu retracted his foot, his body shifting horizontally backward by ten thousand meters.

In front of him, a streak of Sword Qi soared straight up, appearing high in the air and standing parallel to him.

That streak of sword light stopped in mid-air, manifesting the figure of Xie Wushang.

"The Divine Son of Jiang actually broke the emperor technique Divine Ability of an ancient Great Emperor?!"
