181: Chapter 181: Instant Kill! Joy in the Heart
As Jiang Xuan's domineering words fell, the world became eerily silent, so quiet that a pin drop could be heard.
Everyone was stunned by this declaration, which seemed to suppress all of eternity, and remained speechless for a long time.
From ancient times until now, the Heavenly Dao has been considered the source of all power on the continent, the driving force behind all things in the world, and the god of this world; no one could act against Heaven.
Without the Heavenly Dao, the Zhou Heaven Continent would cease to exist, but what was Jiang Xuan saying now? His Dao could even suppress the Heavenly Dao!
Throughout history, who would possess such immense courage as to claim to transcend the Heavenly Dao? Only Jiang Xuan!
If anyone else had said such words, the world might have dismissed it as arrogant ignorance, a mere joke, but coming from Jiang Xuan, a sense of anticipation welled up in their hearts.
When everyone saw Jiang Xuan casually annihilate and then Rebirth the Great Dao within the Emperor Lotus, their anticipation directly soared to its peak! Besides the Heavenly Dao, who else could achieve such a feat? Could an Emperor?
In the clouds, the noble woman's previously calm gaze rippled slightly, her heart shocked, "Great Dao of Space-Time!"
She looked at the peerless figure below, recalling what some Seniors from the Emperor Alliance had told her before, and murmured softly, "It seems my Yaochi Emperor Sect should also take a side."
Seeing her close friend's expression gradually change, Xuan Yuan Jin Xue chuckled in her heart, "Pretty Boy, you've even shocked our dignified Lady Emperor."
Below, Li Tianming's eyes erupted with Battle Intent! He deeply agreed with Jiang Xuan's words; Cultivators of their generation should possess such courage to contend with Heaven for their destiny!
Although it was his first time meeting this legendary Young Emperor, he had already acknowledged his title; only such a person could be his, Li Tianming's, opponent.
Nangong Aotian and the others gazed at Jiang Xuan with immense respect, truly worthy of being the one they chose to follow. Man Dali even jumped up from his seat, his face full of excitement, "Boss, when are we going to take on the Heavenly Dao?"
Hearing this, the few of them burst into laughter again, the atmosphere becoming incredibly joyful.
However, Mo Yun's expression at this moment was extremely grim. He stood in the lotus platform like a clown, not expecting Jiang Xuan to be so arrogant as to declare he would trample the Heavenly Dao underfoot, completely thwarting his plans.
He glanced at another person in a seat, his expression inscrutable. The latter nodded, slowly stood up, and released his Quasi-Emperor aura, his words startling everyone present.
"Hmph, arrogant and ignorant! How can you defame the Heavenly Dao? I didn't expect the famous Young Emperor to be such an ignorant madman who only knows how to boast. Truly disappointing."
Everyone's expressions changed. Who was this person, daring to speak to the Young Emperor like that? And he was actually a Quasi-Emperor Cultivator; they hadn't heard of such a Prodigy in the Hei Ming Sword Sect.
"That's an Ancient Freak from the Sword Sect. Mo Qing, who only emerged recently," someone in the crowd explained.
Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions grew somewhat solemn. It seemed that more and more Ancient Freaks were Awakening recently. They heard that the Gu Imperial Clan had even awakened a Son of a Great Emperor.
With the arrival of the Golden Great Era, many ancient Prodigies were Awakening, putting no small pressure on the current Prodigies.
Among those Ancient Freaks, there were many who ranked in the top ten of the Three Thousand Sacred Bodies, and their mastery of the Sacred Body far surpassed that of current Prodigies. Each possessed immense strength, and many had already reached Quasi-Emperor cultivation when they chose to seal themselves.
Among the current Dao Children, besides the top-ranked Li Tianming and the mysterious Eternal Saint from Tianzhou, the others might not be enough to contend.
On the lotus platform, Mo Qing's expression was arrogant, looking down on everyone. He mocked Jiang Xuan, "How long have you Cultivated? How could you know the vastness of Heaven and Earth? Even ancient Great Emperors dared not claim to transcend the Heavenly Dao. Who are you to speak such wild words?"
After speaking, his aura suddenly burst forth. He pointed at Jiang Xuan and said disdainfully, "Let me see if your Dao is truly as you claim, superior to the Heavenly Dao!"
Luo Hua, who was about to intervene, suddenly heard a voice in her ear, causing her expression to change in surprise. She then withdrew the foot she had stepped forward and quietly watched the situation unfold.
Seeing this, Man Dali and the others instantly came before Jiang Xuan. "Boss, let me do it! He's just a Quasi-Emperor; watch me smash his dog head!"
Jiang Xuan glanced at Dali. After absorbing the giant's corpse, Dali's cultivation had also risen to Quasi-Emperor, and the immense power within him was gradually becoming his own.
With his strength, dealing with Mo Qing was not a problem. However, he did not let Dali act, because the System's notification sound suddenly rang in Jiang Xuan's mind.
“Ding, detecting the host’s current situation, the following tasks are now issued.”
“Task One: Forcefully suppress Mo Qing. Reward: Five million limit points.”
“Task Two: Inquire about your mother’s whereabouts from Li Tianming. Reward: Five million limit points.”
Seeing the System's newly issued tasks, Jiang Xuan glanced towards Li Tianming. Since the System issued the task, it proved that the other party knew about his mother's whereabouts.
Thinking of this, Jiang Xuan's heart filled with joy; he finally had a clue.
Withdrawing his gaze, Jiang Xuan's eyes turned cold. Without another word, the power of Space-Time instantly erupted!
Mo Qing had no time to react and was immediately immobilized, confined within a space.
"Pfft."
A white light flashed, and Mo Qing's arm, which was pointing at Jiang Xuan, instantly flew up, gradually annihilating into nothingness in the Void Realm.
"Ah!!!"
A shrill scream echoed through the Void Realm. Jiang Xuan pointed a finger, and a Void Realm sword composed of spatial power, combined with the Great Dao of the Sword, instantly shredded Mo Qing's body, leaving not a trace of blood.
Jiang Xuan's expression was calm, as if he had done something insignificant. His indifferent voice struck directly at everyone's hearts, "Those who see my Dao shall enter Reincarnation!"
"Ding, congratulations to the host for completing the task of suppressing Mo Qing. Reward: Five million limit points."
"Ding, congratulations to the host for completing the Yaochi Grand Event task. Reward: Two million limit points."
"System, how much more do I need to Breakthrough to Great Emperor?"
As the rewards arrived, Jiang Xuan asked the System; he wanted to know how far he was from becoming a Great Emperor.
“To the host, your current limit points are ten million. Breaking through to Great Emperor requires fifty million.”
"Still forty million?" Jiang Xuan frowned, then relaxed. Forty million sounded like a lot at first, but merely suppressing Mo Qing rewarded him with five million limit points. Thinking of it that way, it wasn't so much; he could reach it by completing a few more tasks.
Withdrawing his thoughts, Jiang Xuan looked in Li Tianming's direction and walked towards him. Since he could find out about his mother and the Yaochi task was complete, he would no longer waste time.
As the group passed by Mo Yun, Mo Yun, who had already been scared witless by the sight of Jiang Xuan slaying a Quasi-Emperor with a single sword strike, collapsed to the ground with a thud.
However, Jiang Xuan paid him no mind. Seeing this, Mo Yun secretly breathed a sigh of relief, cold sweat the size of beans rolling down his cheeks. Fortunately, he hadn't followed in Mo Qing's footsteps.
Mo Yun now only wanted to leave this place as quickly as possible. He cast a resentful glance at Jiang Xuan's retreating figure. Jiang Xuan, just you wait; the Sword Sect will not let this matter rest!
Just as he was about to turn and flee, Jiang Xuan's icy voice suddenly echoed in his mind, "There are no words like 'tolerance' in this Young Emperor's dictionary."
Upon hearing this, Mo Yun's face instantly changed drastically, "You...!"
Before he could finish his sentence, his brain began to throb violently, his Soul feeling as if it were being torn apart. Soon, Mo Yun's eyes became devoid of color, and his body fell straight down, his Divine Soul utterly annihilated!
