154: Chapter 154 The Azure Emperor Descends to Earth and Creates Chaos, the Demon Lord Breaks Through to Forge Immortal Realms (Part 4)

"Hum!"

At this very moment, in Ye Xiu's Sea of Consciousness, the cold and mechanical System notification erupted like a chain of thunderclaps!

[Ding! Detected that the host has triggered cross-Realm Dao resonance with the "Azure Emperor Scripture," alarming the remnant will of the Azure Emperor and shattering the Heavenly Tribulation array of The Great Ruins!]

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the epic hidden check-in mission — "Demon Emperor Manifests Holiness, Law Transmitted to Another World"!]

[Ding! Highest tier of check-in reward triggered: Dao Origin feedback! Extreme Dao Emperor Might empowerment!]

[System prompt: The host's cultivation shackles have been unsealed! A massive amount of Chaos Dao Origin is being channeled into the host's Sendai, and a forced breakthrough is imminent!]

"Boom!!!"

The moment the System prompt finished, the cyan Dao symbols dissipating across the sky, like tired birds returning to the forest, transformed into a terrifying beam of light connecting heaven and earth, crashing down onto the crown of Ye Xiu's head!

This was not an attack; it was a gift of Origin from the highest plane of the "Shrouding the Heavens" Universe!

"Urgh—ah—"

Even with Ye Xiu's current terrifying cultivation at the Peak of Sendai Second Heaven (Great Power), under the infusion of this violent and peerless Extreme Dao Origin, he could not help but let out a long howl that was both supremely pleasurable and agonizingly painful!

The crystal-clear, two-layered white jade Sendai within his body erupted at this moment with divine light ten thousand times more blinding than the scorching sun.

A massive amount of Chaos Qi transformed into an ocean around the Sendai, madly scouring his limbs and bones!

[Ding! Host's Realm is rising! About to impact the Sendai Third Heaven — "Dao-Slaying King" Realm!]

Accompanied by the System's warning, deep within Ye Xiu's Sea of Consciousness, the originally cloudless Void Realm was suddenly beset by howling winds.

The most fundamental Law power of heaven and earth gathered, and, above his head, condensed into a blade that shimmered with cold light and radiated endless Heavenly Might — the Blade of Heavenly Will!

Dao-Slaying!

This is the most dangerous and cruel natural chasm in the "Shrouding the Heavens" cultivation System!

Throughout history, countless Prodigies have fallen at this hurdle.

The so-called Dao-Slaying requires the Heavenly Will to descend with a blade to sever the Cultivator's inner obsessions, sever past old methods, and sever emotional attachments.

Only by adopting a stance of near-absolute emotional detachment that conforms to the rules of the Heavenly Dao can one gain the recognition of heaven and earth and step into the King's Domain!

"Dao-Slaying? The Blade of Heavenly Will?"

Ye Xiu closed his eyes, his Divine Soul looking up in his Sea of Consciousness at the Law-Blade that was slowly descending, attempting to sever his arrogance and obsessions. The sneer at the corner of his mouth gradually widened, finally erupting into wild laughter that shook the high heavens.

"Hahahaha! This is absolutely absurd to the extreme!"

"The method I, this daddy, Cultivate is called 'Only I Am Supreme'! The Dao I walk is called 'Lawless and Heaven-Defying'!"

Ye Xiu suddenly opened his eyes. In reality, his heterochromatic gold and silver eyes instantly erupted like two supernovae!

"I disdained the rules set by that bunch of false gods in the heavens!"

"This Heavenly Dao that crossed Realms wants to slay my obsessions? What kind of thing is it, to be worthy of slaying me?!"

Facing the Blade of Heavenly Will that was cleaving down upon his head, Ye Xiu did not retreat in the slightest, nor did he attempt to sever any of his stray thoughts.

"My Dao is myself! If the Heavens block me, I shall slay the Heavens!"

"Break for me—break!!!"

In the Sea of Consciousness, Ye Xiu's Divine Soul surged upward, and with a pair of bare hands, he extremely arrogantly grabbed the blade of the Dao-Slaying Heavenly Blade!

"Crack—bang!"

Accompanied by a shattering sound that made all living beings in the Major Thousand Worlds feel their Souls tremble, that Dao-Slaying Heavenly Blade, representing the will of heaven and earth and acting supreme, was actually crushed by Ye Xiu with his bare hands!

It turned into fragments of Law filling the sky, becoming excellent nourishment for Ye Xiu to nourish his Sendai instead!

Ignoring Dao-Slaying! Crushing the Heavenly Tribulation by force!

[Ding! The host has shattered the Blade of Heavenly Will with supreme domineering intent, breaking conventional Laws and skipping the shackles of Dao-Slaying!]

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for jumping Realms! Forcibly breaking through the barrier to forge a supreme Immortal foundation!]

[Current Realm: Sendai Fourth Heaven — Semi-Saint!!!]

"Rumble!!!"

Accompanied by the words "Semi-Saint," a terrifying pressure that did not belong to the human world swept madly in all directions from Ye Xiu's body in a circular wave of Qi!

The entire Little Jade Capital emitted a groan of unbearable strain under this pressure.

The immortal mountains for hundreds of miles around began to shake violently, and those ancient scrolls floating in mid-air instantly turned to dust before this Semi-Saint might!

Semi-Saint!

What is a Semi-Saint? It is someone who has initially touched the Origin of the Heavenly Dao, where words become Law.

Even a single strand of hair can slice down stars; even a single drop of blood can crush mountains!

In this world of The Great Ruins full of false gods, the Divine Bridge Realm is already the Peak, but Ye Xiu, at this moment, has directly crossed two major Realms, stepping into a super-dimensional Domain capable of causing this heaven and earth to completely collapse!

Ye Xiu floated quietly in mid-air.

His bright red dragon-patterned wedding robe had stopped rustling because the space within a hundred zhang around him had been forcibly imprisoned and completely frozen by the Semi-Saint Laws he was unconsciously emitting.

He clenched his fist slightly.

"Rip—"

With just the slightest clenching motion, the space in his palm was torn apart like a rag, revealing the deep and terrifying Void Realm turbulence!

But his Physical Body, as if forged from divine metal, remained unscathed under the cutting of the Void Realm turbulence.

"Is this the power of Immortal Four... Semi-Saint?"

Ye Xiu muttered to himself. His heterochromatic gold and silver eyes had become as still as an ancient well, yet they exuded an absolute indifference that looked down upon all living beings.

He felt that if he wanted to kill the Grand Elder of Taixu or the State Preceptor of Yankang now, he wouldn't even need to draw his sword.

Just a single glance or a single word, and the Semi-Saint Laws could grind them into meat paste!

And below, Little Tathagata Yuan Ding, who had just reshaped his Azure Lotus Emperor Bone and been boundless in his arrogance, was now lying on the ground, trembling all over. This was the absolute suppression originating from the level of life!

"This... what Realm is this? This is definitely not above the Divine Bridge!"

Little Tathagata widened his eyes in terror, his demonic blood completely congealing under this pressure.

The State Preceptor of Yankang and the Grand Elder of Taixu buried their heads deep into the ruins, not daring to even breathe.

"Immortal... a true Immortal has descended..."

The State Preceptor's voice carried a fanatical tremor.

At this moment, above the nine heavens, deep within the "Heavenly Court" that had always been hidden in the clouds and stood high above.

Hundreds of false gods, sitting cross-legged on their divine thrones and accepting the incense offerings of the Major Thousand Worlds, all opened their eyes at this moment.

In their eyes, there was no longer the indifference and mockery of the past; instead, it was replaced by unprecedented, extreme terror!

Just a moment ago, they had felt a terrifying aura capable of instantly wiping out the entire Heavenly Court erupting in the Little Jade Capital of the Lower Realm!

That aura even surpassed the Founding Emperor who once raised his sword to slay the heavens by a hundred, a thousand times!

"The Lower Realm... what kind of monster has appeared in the Lower Realm?!"

A false god trembled, his voice shaking, and even the divine ring above his head was flickering unsteadily.

"Such pressure... such Law that transcends the Dao... could it be that an ancient God King has revived?!"
