503: Ascension

“Since that’s the case, we now have four Red Dust Immortals, which is enough to blast open a corner of the Immortal Realm.”

“Do you still need time to prepare? If not, we can start now.”

The Heavenly Venerable spoke softly.

His eyes, however, swept lightly over the few people before him.

Between the flickering of his gaze, special thoughts seemed to form.

But more than that, there was vigilance.

As expected, Wang Dong spoke indifferently the next moment.

“There’s no need for that. My Wang Family already has enough people. As for you, you are superfluous to me.”

As soon as these words were uttered, the Heavenly Venerable instantly understood.

Although he had already anticipated such a result just now,

when it actually happened, he still spoke coldly.

“That’s enough!”

“You wouldn’t think you could kill me, would you? Or do you think the three of you can keep me here?”

“I admit your strength is very great, but it’s not enough to completely kill me here.”

The Heavenly Venerable’s words were filled with deep confidence.

He did not deny Wang Dong’s power.

But he was also very aware of his own power.

However, Wang Dong scoffed.

“What do you even count as?”

“A flawed Immortal. Slaying you today is child’s play.”

Wang Dong’s voice was extremely calm.

Yet his words were incredibly forceful.

The reason he insisted on slaying the Heavenly Venerable

was not because he and the Heavenly Venerable had any personal grudges.

It was primarily because the Heavenly Venerable was not a good person.

He wanted to lead his entire Family to Ascension.

If the Heavenly Venerable were to go back on his word or make other small moves on the Road to Immortality,

new variables would naturally arise.

He would not allow such variables to occur.

And the Heavenly Venerable had already done something like this once before.

He had once joined forces with Emperor Wushi and Empress Ruthless, the three of them together blasting open a corner of the Immortal Realm.

Just as they were about to Ascend,

he suddenly made a move, attempting to refine all living beings in the world and even ambushing the two Great Emperors.

If he had not ultimately been defeated and remained in the Lower Realm,

the outcome afterwards would have been hard to say.

If he were to join forces with the Heavenly Venerable at this moment, who knew what would happen on the Road to Immortality?

He, in any case, intended to lead the Wang Family disciples to Ascension together.

And if the Heavenly Venerable were to make a move, it was likely that not many of the Wang Family members would survive.

Especially those with lower cultivation Realms.

They would probably perish instantly in the aftershocks of the battle.

Even if his strength was great,

he would not be able to subdue the Heavenly Venerable in a very short time.

Nor could he protect the Family members of the Wang Family from any harm.

Given such a risky situation, it was better not to join forces with the Heavenly Venerable from the very beginning.

This way, there would naturally not be too many troubles.

However, as soon as these words were spoken,

the Heavenly Venerable snorted coldly.

“You are far too arrogant.”

“Throughout history, there have always been arrogant people who speak presumptuously before me, but from beginning to end, no one has ever been able to shake my position.”

“They are all but ants; you will be no exception.”

His tone was incomparably domineering.

Even if Wang Dong was exceptionally powerful,

perhaps the most powerful Ancient Sacred Body of all time,

he was also the most powerful person of all time.

The Heavenly Venerable had been unrivaled in the world since the Tian Zun Era.

He had lived through countless epochs.

Even now, he could still be active in the world.

He was an old fox, his strength accumulated over countless years.

It was not something Wang Dong could catch up to in a short time by relying on his talent alone.

Moreover, did he not have talent?

To be able to stand out among the nine Heavenly Venerables in the Tian Zun Era, an era teeming with Prodigies,

was enough to be called unrivaled, to be called undefeated.

Who among them had not once been an unrivaled Genius?

But Wang Dong was too lazy to continue talking nonsense with him.

The next moment, he directly made his move.

In an instant, the Great Dao trembled.

Dao techniques shook the heavens!

All sorts of profound mysteries converged, forming a river that surged towards the Heavenly Venerable.

The astonishing power almost shook the Myriad Realms, threatening to shatter the entire galaxy.

It was overwhelmingly powerful.

Rumble, rumble.

The rumbling never ceased.

The galaxy trembled, the Universe vibrated without pause; this battle was enough to shake the starry sky.

If not for the absence of ordinary people in this place,

it would have affected countless living beings, causing billions of casualties.

The two Wang Family disciples beside him also made their move.

With the three of them working together, the Heavenly Venerable was still powerful enough.

For a time, he actually held his own against the three.

But as time passed, after an unknown duration,

the battle finally subsided.

The three members of the Wang Family stood proudly in the world, each bearing injuries.

It was clear they had gone through an astonishing battle.

But, ultimately, one was missing.

The Heavenly Venerable had still been defeated.

Just like that time countless years ago when he fought Wang Dong.

He had once been no match for Wang Dong.

Now, facing three people, even with his injuries largely recovered, he was still defeated.

In the final moments, he tried to escape.

But the three of them sealed off heaven and earth.

He had almost nowhere to retreat.

Eventually, he completely perished.

Even his primordial spirit had dissipated.

There was almost no possibility of resurrection.

After this matter concluded,

Wang Dong did not hesitate.

He immediately took the lead in attacking the Road to Immortality.

The next moment.

The rumbling never ceased.

The three of them continuously unleashed their peerless techniques, each strike seemingly capable of annihilating the Myriad Realms.

They were shaking the Universe’s barrier.

Penetrating the barrier between the Lower Realm and the Immortal Realm.

Attempting Immortal Ascension.

The difficulty involved was imaginable.

It was only because all three were Red Dust Immortals, their power surpassing ancient and modern times.

Otherwise, it would have been absolutely impossible.

An unknown amount of time passed.

The Myriad Realms seemed to be affected.

Astonishing tremors could often be felt.

Finally, the Road to Immortality was completely blasted open.

At the same time, Wang Dong held the entire Bronze Ancient Ship in his palm.

The next moment, he was about to cross the Immortal Realm.

However, before that, Wang Dong pulled both Wang Ming and Wang Changfeng into the Ancient Ship.

One had to know that when Ascending to the Immortal Realm, no one knew what the specific situation on the other side would be like.

Perhaps there could be great danger.

Although these two had also stepped into the Red Dust Immortal Realm, they had only just done so recently.

In reality, compared to him, they still had some deficiencies.

If they encountered difficulties in the Immortal Realm, it was very possible they would completely perish.

Wang Dong naturally could not allow such a thing to happen.

He immediately brought it up.

The two naturally would not object to Wang Dong’s decision.

After bowing with clasped fists, they entered the Ancient Ship.

A moment later.

Wang Dong piloted the Ancient Ship upstream.

Amidst the continuous Immortal Light, he rushed into the Immortal Realm.

Thus, the entire Wang Family Ascended into the Immortal Realm.

The only ones remaining were those of other races.

Ascension was a long journey.

Wang Dong piloted the Ancient Ship alone, proceeding cautiously.

After an unknown period of time,

the view in his sight finally changed.

The concentration of a certain special energy in the air also suddenly increased.

Wang Dong realized

that they were likely only a final short distance from the Immortal Realm.

Immediately, he pushed forward with all his might.

Not long after, he finally completely rushed into the Immortal Realm.

With a rumble.
