141: Chapter 141 Master Cao teaches you what true simplicity is!

Cao Kun stood at the front of the Jade Carriage.

He extended an index finger.

Across the void, he lightly pressed down toward the sea of clouds ahead.

The dome of the imperial palace of ultimate bliss's Formation responded instantly.

The vast power of heaven and earth was drawn by the Formation, directly transforming into a materialized Gravity Field that crashed down.

The tens of thousands of Nascent Soul and Golden Core Stage Cultivators in the sky suddenly felt their shoulders grow heavy.

The circulation routes of the Spiritual Qi within their bodies were forcibly severed by this overbearing pressure.

"Bang!"

The Cultivators, losing the support of their Spiritual Qi, were completely unable to maintain their flight.

They plummeted straight from mid-air toward the ground.

The Bluestone Slabs of the Hehuan Sect's Outer Sect square were smashed into countless deep pits.

Tens of thousands of people were piled on top of each other like a human pyramid.

The crisp sound of breaking bones rose and fell.

Various Flying Swords and Magic Treasures with dimmed light lay scattered across the ground.

These Righteous Path elites, who were usually high and mighty, were now pinned firmly to the ground, unable to move.

They rolled their eyes in terror as despair spread through the crowd.

Cao Kun withdrew his finger and looked up into the sky.

"Alright, the trash has been cleared."

"Next, it's you old fogies' turn."

In the air, only Dao Tae and five Soul Transformation Stage old monsters, including Chu Qianqiu and Ji Daoyuan, remained.

Relying on their profound cultivation, they barely withstood the downward pressure of the Formation and remained suspended in place.

Dao Tae's face turned ashen.

As a dignified Half-step Void Refinement powerhouse leading an expedition, he hadn't even touched the opponent's clothes before his subordinates were completely wiped out.

"Arrogant!"

Dao Tae roared in anger, wasting no more words as his hands quickly formed seals.

A waist-thick bolt of purple lightning erupted from his palm, heading straight for Cao Kun's face.

Wherever the lightning passed, the air emitted a scorched smell.

Seeing this, the five Soul Transformation old monsters nearby, including Chu Qianqiu and Ji Daoyuan, also attacked simultaneously.

Chu Qianqiu unsheathed the taiyi divine sword and swung a sharp Sword Qi dozens of feet long.

Ji Daoyuan sacrificed the Mountain Suppressing Seal; the seal expanded rapidly against the wind, turning into a small mountain that crashed down.

The other three old monsters also unleashed their strongest Spells.

Coordinating with Dao Tae's attack, they all suppressed downward at once.

On the Jade Carriage, Qin Canglan and Yu Linglong's expressions changed drastically.

Five Soul Transformation experts plus one Half-step Void Refinement expert attacking together created a terrifying Aura.

It was as if they were going to completely erase this part of the world.

The two women instinctively felt the danger and immediately circulated their internal Spiritual Qi, preparing to rush forward to block for Cao Kun.

Cao Kun let out a light chuckle, pressed down on each of their shoulders, and pulled them back behind him.

"Just stand back and watch the show obediently."

Cao Kun's tone was relaxed; he didn't even glance at the attacks in the sky.

"They're just a few old wastes with one foot in the grave; there's no need for you to intervene. Lest you mess up your hair."

After saying that, with a thought from Cao Kun...

On the surface of the yin-yang dharma robe he wore, black and white Formation patterns flowed rapidly.

A mysterious spatial ripple rippled outward.

Black and white light detached from the robe and converged about a zhang in front of Cao Kun.

In the blink of an eye, a Clone with the exact same appearance and physique as Cao Kun condensed into form.

As soon as the Clone appeared, it took the initiative to meet the purple lightning fired by Dao Tae.

"Bang!"

A muffled sound rang out.

That purple lightning, powerful enough to heavily injure a Soul Transformation Stage expert, was crushed by the Clone with one hand.

The violent lightning-attribute Spiritual Qi turned into specks of starlight and dissipated in the air.

Dao Tae's pupils shrank.

Crushing his Spell with a bare hand—the Physical Body strength of this Clone exceeded his understanding.

However, he wasn't given any time to be shocked.

After blocking the first wave of attacks, the Clone didn't pause for a moment.

With a stomp of his foot, his figure turned into an afterimage and charged directly at the five Soul Transformation Stage old monsters, including Chu Qianqiu.

Chu Qianqiu was at the very front.

Seeing the Clone attacking, the taiyi divine sword in his hand burst with light as he slashed horizontally toward the Clone's neck.

"Die for this old man!"

Facing the incoming blade, the Clone neither dodged nor avoided it.

Exerting force from his waist, his right arm's muscles bulged, and he threw a punch without any flourishes.

The surface of the fist was wrapped in a thick layer of Chaos Airflow.

"Clang!"

The fist accurately struck the spine of the taiyi divine sword.

The loud bang of metal clashing made eardrums ache.

The taiyi divine sword let out a wail.

The blade was bent into an exaggerated curve.

The powerful force of the punch passed through the blade and directly struck Chu Qianqiu's chest.

A large area of Chu Qianqiu's ribcage shattered.

He opened his mouth and spat out a large mouthful of blood mixed with internal organ fragments.

His entire person flew backward uncontrollably.

After tumbling a dozen times in the air...

He finally crashed into the side of a hovering Warship, his fate unknown.

Having succeeded in one strike, the Clone didn't even look at Chu Qianqiu and turned to pounce on Ji Daoyuan behind him.

Ji Daoyuan was terrified.

He hastily channeled his Spiritual Qi, controlling the Mountain Suppressing Seal in mid-air to block in front of him.

The Clone forcibly twisted his body in mid-air, his right leg creating a piercing sonic boom as it whipped against the bottom of the Mountain Suppressing Seal.

"Boom!"

The spiritual light on the surface of the top-grade Magic Treasure, the Mountain Suppressing Seal, dimmed.

The enormous counter-force caused Ji Daoyuan to lose control of the Magic Treasure.

The Mountain Suppressing Seal flew back at a speed even faster than it had come, slamming solidly into Ji Daoyuan's protective spiritual light.

Ji Daoyuan screamed and fell toward a distant hilltop along with the seal.

Seeing this, the remaining three Soul Transformation old monsters were scared out of their wits.

They immediately abandoned the idea of attacking Cao Kun's main body and turned to flee, attempting to put some distance between them.

The Clone was extremely fast, pulling out several afterimages in the air as he pursued relentlessly.

For the next half-incense stick of time, the battle in the sky presented a one-sided situation.

A single Clone was actually suppressing and beating five Soul Transformation Stage old monsters.

These five old monsters usually called the shots in Qingzhou, but now they were being beaten so badly they were hiding everywhere, with no power to fight back.

Their Spells hit the Clone, but couldn't even break a layer of skin.

Yet every punch and kick from the Clone could break their tendons and bones.

Dao Tae stood in the sky, watching the five top combatants he had brought being chased and beaten like dogs by a single Clone.

His eyes twitched, and a strong sense of crisis welled up in his heart.

If a Clone was this strong, what would it be like if the main body attacked?

"I can't delay any longer," Dao Tae made a decision in his heart.

His hands quickly formed hand seals.

A massive Divine Sense ripple erupted from his Sea of Consciousness.

As a Half-step Void Refinement powerhouse, Dao Tae began to forcibly mobilize the surrounding Laws of heaven and earth.

The Spiritual Qi within a hundred-mile radius was instantly drained.

Countless points of light converged above Dao Tae's head.

In the blink of an eye, a giant light sword a hundred zhang long condensed into form.

The light sword was a dazzling pure white.

At the edges of the blade, space could not withstand this destructive power, cracking into black fissures.

This sword condensed all of Dao Tae's Half-step Void Refinement foundation.

"Cao Kun! Die!"

Dao Tae roared and pressed his arms down.

The hundred-zhang light sword carried an Aura that could destroy everything.

It roared as it slashed down toward Cao Kun's main body.

He wanted to kill Cao Kun in one move.

As long as the main body died, the Clone would naturally dissipate.

On the Jade Carriage...

Facing this ultimate strike from the Half-step Void Refinement old monster, the women were all prepared to fight for their lives.

However, Cao Kun didn't even make a move to dodge.

He didn't take this strike seriously at all.

"Old fogies just love making these big scenes," Cao Kun grumbled in his heart.

He extended his right hand.

The Purple Mansion within his Dantian vibrated.

The chaos divine sword, which had fused with the fragmented sword piece, automatically flew out from between his brows and landed steadily in his palm.

Ancient and obscure Dao patterns flowed over the pitch-black blade.

A killing intent soared into the sky.

"One Sword Decides Life and Death."

Cao Kun flipped his wrist and swung the sword from bottom to top, meeting the falling hundred-zhang light sword.

A pure black Chaos Sword Qi shot out from the blade.

The Sword Qi expanded rapidly against the wind, turning into a giant black crescent.

Wherever the black Sword Qi passed, all light was swallowed up.

"Boom!"

A loud explosion.

The Chaos Sword Qi and the hundred-zhang light sword collided violently in mid-air.

There was no stalemate between equals.

With an overwhelming posture, the Chaos Sword Qi directly sliced that hundred-zhang light sword in half from the middle!

Silvery-white Law fragments flew everywhere.

After shattering the light sword, the Sword Qi's momentum remained undiminished as it sliced through the sky, heading straight for Dao Tae.

Dao Tae's eyes widened; he had no time to dodge.

"Bang!"

At the same time the Sword Qi struck his chest...

It directly tore apart his Protective Spiritual Qi.

Dao Tae groaned and flew backward.

He crashed into a mountain peak behind the Hehuan Sect.

Half of the entire mountain peak collapsed from the impact.

Countless boulders tumbled down.

Dao Tae was deeply embedded in the ruins of a large pit in the mountain.

The entire field was silent.

The tens of thousands of Righteous Path allied forces lying on the ground struggled to lift their heads, staring blankly at the collapsed mountain peak.

In the air...

Chu Qianqiu and the other four Soul Transformation Stage old monsters, who had been beaten black and blue by the Clone, also stopped their flight.

They hung in the air, their faces ashen.

Their own greatest backer, a Half-step Void Refinement powerhouse who had been in secluded meditation for five hundred years...

Actually couldn't even take one sword strike from Cao Kun?

Despair,

shrouded the hearts of all the Righteous Path Cultivators.

In the ruins of the pit.

Seventy percent of the bones in Dao Tae's body were broken.

Blood was constantly gushing from his mouth, and there was a sword wound on his chest deep enough to see the bone.

Chaos Qi was continuously eroding his Meridians.

Storybooks and ancient texts left over from ancient eras uncontrollably flashed through his mind.

"Could it really be as written in the books?"

"When encountering such a Heavenly Dao outlier, one can only try to befriend them and absolutely must not become their enemy?"

Dao Tae's eyes glazed over for a moment.

He remembered the eighteen mysterious characters he had seen during his divination.

That fear of Heavenly Dao backlash surged in his heart once again.

But immediately afterward, extreme unwillingness and madness emerged from the depths of Dao Tae's eyes.

"No!"

"This old man has painstakingly cultivated the Dao for over three thousand years! I have undergone countless life-and-death tribulations!"

"How can I fall here!"

Dao Tae tilted his head back and let out a roar that shook heaven and earth.

"Cao Kun!!!"

"Do you really think this old man has no trump cards left!"

Along with this roar, the entire mountain peak completely crumbled.

The Essence Blood within Dao Tae's body began to burn.

An Illusory Dharma Idol ten thousand zhang tall rapidly solidified in the air.

The Dharma Idol was clad in Star Battle Armor, its face blurred.

It held a giant Sky-Opening Axe.

Its eyes emitted a piercing strong light, looking down upon all living beings.

The terrifying pressure caused the ground below to crack inch by inch.

Dao Tae's main body merged into the forehead of the Dharma Idol.

His voice was amplified through the Dharma Idol, rolling like thunder and shaking the world.

"This old man's strongest killing move is enough to slay an ordinary Early Stage Void Refining Cultivator!"

"Today, this old man will let you witness its power!!!"

In the sky,

the five Soul Transformation old monsters who were originally being chased and beaten by the Clone...

saw that their Sect Master was pushed to the limit and had even taken out such a world-destroying trump card.

Feeling that terrifying power that could easily wipe them out...

the five of them suddenly felt that this was a guaranteed win.

The fear in their hearts was swept away, and their courage grew once more.

They all started cheering and shouting for Dao Tae:

"Sect Master Dao is invincible! His heavenly might covers the world!"

They were certain that Cao Kun would definitely not be able to take this move.
