487: Desperate Breakthrough

“There’s one last move, Azure Dragon, you’re really useless! You couldn’t kill a Peak Supreme Saint like me in two moves. What’s the point of you living? Just die!”

Su Qingyuan laughed heartily. This tactic of messing with his mindset was very effective; Azure Dragon was completely flustered now.

Originally, he was confident he could kill Su Qingyuan in two moves and then live happily ever after.

But the reality was, Su Qingyuan’s Heaven-Defying degree surpassed his imagination.

He even suspected if Su Qingyuan was cheating; otherwise, how could she have lasted so long against him, a Great Emperor?

“Since you’ve already touched upon the power of the Great Dao, then I won’t hold back anymore!”

“Since you already have the power of the Great Dao, wouldn’t it be fair if I also used the power of the Great Dao?”

Azure Dragon sneered.

Although he had said before that he might not use the power of the Great Dao, Su Qingyuan had not agreed to stop him from using it!

Since that was the case, he couldn’t be blamed for exploiting a loophole in the rules!

“To kill a Peak Supreme Saint, you actually resorted to using the power of the Great Dao. Azure Dragon, you truly are a piece of trash!”

Qing Xuanyin couldn't help but mock him.

“To think that you, one of the four Guardian Envoys of the Dragon King Palace back then, have become so weak!”

Heavenly Martial Holy Lord also laughed.

Spirit Rhinoceros Saint Lord looked at this scene before him, his expression turning grim, because as someone from the Lingxi Holy Land, Azure Dragon’s pathetic performance at this moment made it difficult for him to save face!

“Azure Dragon, ignore them! Use all your strength to kill her!”

Spirit Rhinoceros Saint Lord shouted.

“I understand, Holy Lord. You just watch; I guarantee I’ll kill this woman!”

Azure Dragon was very confident. After using the power of the Great Dao, he was noticeably more self-assured.

“Come on, let me see what other trump cards you have after living for over three hundred years?”

Su Qingyuan sneered.

Despite saying this, Su Qingyuan’s heart was still a little unsettled.

In the previous two moves, she had taken advantage of Azure Dragon’s human nature, resorting to a bit of opportunism.

She knew that the cowardly Azure Dragon would definitely not go for a fatal blow, which was why she dodged the first two moves.

The reason she did this was also because, after recovering to her Peak, she vaguely felt that she had already touched upon the power of the Great Dao.

After all, she had accumulated over three hundred years of experience, and now, recovering to her Peak was just a matter of the final step.

But this final step, if she were to comprehend it, she didn't know how much time it would take.

Therefore, breaking through in battle, relying on forcibly activating her potential in such a desperate situation, was the method Su Qingyuan thought of.

Previously, when she was still in the Dragon King Palace, she had learned this move from Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen’s every Breakthrough was basically during life-and-death struggles, and Su Qingyuan was also attracted by his unique method.

This move was indeed very effective, because Azure Dragon didn't dare to kill her. So, Azure Dragon seemed to be attacking, yet not attacking, but still able to threaten her.

If Azure Dragon had used the power of the Great Dao from the beginning, she would probably be a pile of ashes by now.

Now, Azure Dragon was about to use his full power. If she could comprehend the power of the Great Dao, then she could achieve her original goal.

Even if she didn't comprehend it, she wasn't panicking; she knew she wouldn't die, because Su Xuan wouldn't allow it.

Su Xuan was definitely not a person who kept his word, there was no need to say more about that.

Although he was very committed to his women, for others, that might not be the case.

“With this last move, you are doomed to die!”

Azure Dragon was completely enraged, his draconic might surging around him. The hundred-zhang Dragon shadow solidified as if real, dark luster flowing on its scales.

He suddenly opened his mouth, and the Dragon Breath, condensed from three hundred years of cultivation, transformed into a pitch-black pillar of light. Wherever it passed, space twisted and shattered. This strike not only utilized the extreme of his Physical Body but also carried his control over the power of the Great Dao; it was his ultimate killing move.

Su Qingyuan only felt an overwhelming pressure Attack. The Sword Net was instantly torn apart by the Dragon Breath, and her protective Sword Qi crumbled inch by inch.

Su Qingyuan was sent flying backward, a sharp pain from broken ribs coursing through her body, blood staining half of her clothes.

“Pfft…”

Su Qingyuan crashed heavily to the ground, her long sword slipping from her grasp. Her fingertips dug into the dirt, and her vision began to blur from the intense pain.

“Is this the terror of the power of the Great Dao? So strong? Even from so far away, I can feel the pressure!”

“Su Qingyuan is in danger this time. I really don’t know why she chose to resist head-on!”

The other people present began to whisper. Some ordinary Disciples had never seen such a scene in their daily lives and quickly sat cross-legged to absorb the essence of this battle.

Opportunities to see a Great Emperor act were rare; if they could comprehend something from this, it would be a huge gain!

“A Great Emperor is indeed formidable. It seems I underestimated you before!”

Su Qingyuan smiled. She already felt that she seemed to have touched upon that untouchable area.

“It’s over!”

Azure Dragon grinned ferociously, the pillar of Dragon Breath already before her eyes.

Just at this desperate moment, Su Qingyuan’s mind became perfectly clear, resonating with a gentle yet resilient rhythm between heaven and earth.

She seemed to see spring breezes caressing the frozen earth, tender sprouts pushing through stubborn rocks, withered trees sprouting new branches in the rain—that was the power of “endless life”!

She came! She brought it, she came!

Su Qingyuan felt as if she had undergone Nirvana and Rebirth. She wanted to shout something about friendship and bonds as she charged towards Azure Dragon.

But she didn't do that. The reason was simple: it was too shameful. She didn't know why she had such a thought.

“So… this is my Dao!”

Su Qingyuan suddenly raised her hand. Her palm was no longer filled with sharp Sword Qi, but rather enveloped in a gentle green light.

That green light seemed soft, yet it carried an unbreakable resilience, actually holding the pitch-black Dragon Breath in mid-air.

The destructive power of the Dragon Breath continuously eroded it, but the green light, like spring grass after rain, continuously regenerated, grinding the pillar of light into nothingness.

“H-how… how is that possible?!”

Azure Dragon’s pupils constricted, and his Dragon shadow trembled violently.

He clearly saw that the wisp of green light in Su Qingyuan’s palm contained the power of the Great Dao, completely different from his own but equally pure.

A Peak Supreme Saint, actually comprehended a complete Great Dao directly in a desperate situation, Breaking through to become a Great Emperor?!

“the Great Dao of Life, this is my power of the Great Dao!”

Su Qingyuan was incredibly confident. At this moment, her previous injuries had also recovered under the restoration of the Great Dao of Life.

the Great Dao of Life granted her powerful vitality; she could gain insights into everything related to life.

Although Azure Dragon’s attack was very strong, he had been injured before, and he was completely no match for her, a newly promoted Great Emperor, which was why Su Qingyuan could so easily dismantle his attack.
