232: Chapter 232 The Shadow of the Sages Comes to Block the Way!

The dignity belonging to the sages of the Jade Pool had been provoked by an ant, and the Dao Shadow went completely berserk.

"Boom!"

Two purple pillars of Law light, piercing through heaven and earth, erupted from the old man's eyes.

Growing against the wind in mid-air, they instantly transformed into two thousands-of-zhang-long true Dragons of Law, their bodies covered in purple lightning scales.

The Dragon roars shattered the clouds.

The two purple-scaled true Dragons intertwined, carrying a terrifying momentum capable of destroying heaven and earth, locking down all space around Gu Changsheng, and headed straight for his face to strangle him.

"With power like this, even a Middle Stage Myriad Laws Realm cultivator would meet their end; this Gu Changsheng is being overconfident." Someone snorted coldly, wishing for Gu Changsheng to make a fool of himself.

Gu Changsheng stood where he was, letting the berserk Dragon might whip up his black hair.

Instead of retreating, he advanced.

He suddenly withdrew his hands, which had been clasped behind his back, and quickly formed an ancient and obscure Dharma Seal in front of his chest.

"Taixu Hunyuan..."

Inside Gu Changsheng's Dantian, the nine Taixu acupoints, resembling abysses, erupted simultaneously.

"Manifestation of Heaven and Earth!"

As the words fell.

The space behind Gu Changsheng collapsed over a large area, like a mirror.

Endless gray Chaos Qi and purple-gold divine light churned and erupted madly.

A supreme Great Emperor manifestation, standing on the galaxy and reaching tens of thousands of zhang in height, rose from the ground behind Gu Changsheng.

That pair of huge eyes, resembling two black holes, coldly looked down at the star-crowned old man below, who was as tiny as an ant.

"Hum..."

The entire Immortal Ascension Ladder let out a violent, overwhelmed groan.

The ancient formation patterns on the nine hundred and ninety-nine steps flashed crazily as if they had gone mad, attempting to suppress this sudden, terrifying power.

The instant the Great Emperor manifestation appeared, a supreme imperial might that transcended the Laws of heaven and earth swept across all directions like a tsunami.

"Puff!" "Puff!"

The dozens of top Prodigies following behind Gu Changsheng all spat out a large mouthful of blood in unison.

Their protective spiritual light shattered instantly, and they were pinned firmly to the jade steps by this pressure, making it a luxury to even move a single finger.

In mid-air.

Under the washing of the imperial might, the purple Qi around the star-crowned old man's Dao Shadow began to oscillate violently, and it instinctively revealed a look of fear.

Gu Changsheng's eyes were as indifferent as ice.

He did not give the opponent any chance to breathe. He raised his right hand, fingers pointing downwards, and pressed down fiercely.

"Boom!"

The ten-thousand-zhang Great Emperor manifestation behind him mimicked the action.

A giant Chaos palm, covering the sky and blocking the sun, directly pierced through the Void Realm, carrying the weight to crush a Star Domain, and slammed down heavily against the two roaring purple-scaled true Dragons.

"Bang!"

The two true Dragons, containing the Law of destruction, exploded into pieces the moment they touched the giant palm!

The purple fragments of Law turned into a rain of light across the sky, only to be crushed into nothingness by the Chaos Qi surrounding the giant palm.

The wave of air swept out, scattering the sea of clouds across the sky.

The star-crowned old man's Dao Shadow let out an angry grunt.

He thrust his hands upwards, the purple Qi within his body burning to the extreme, attempting to withstand this palm strike with the remaining Dao Laws of the Return to One Realm.

The giant palm pressed down.

The old man's arms bent violently, and countless cracks appeared on the surface of his illusory body.

"Shatter." Gu Changsheng's thin lips parted slightly, and he spoke one word softly.

At the center of the giant manifestation's palm, a bottomless black vortex appeared without warning.

The unique devouring power of the Taixu Hunyuan World-Suppressing Scripture erupted fully.

"Rip!"

The Return to One Realm Dao Laws the old man was so proud of were as fragile as waste paper in the face of this suction, and they were torn to pieces.

"This is impossible... What kind of technique do you cultivate!" The old man's Dao Shadow widened his eyes, his face full of disbelief.

Before the words could finish, the giant palm of the Great Emperor manifestation slammed down completely.

"Bang!!!"

The huge vibration spread throughout the entire suspended divine mountain.

The star-crowned old man's body was struck solidly; he didn't even have time to scream before he exploded into a mass of incredibly pure purple-gold light rain.

The five-hundredth-step guardian Dao Shadow was killed by a single palm strike!

Gu Changsheng moved his mind, and the Great Emperor manifestation dissipated into a wisp of green smoke.

He stood where he was, opened the five fingers of his right hand, and a shocking devouring power erupted from his palm, forcibly pulling the mass of sage Dao essence into a funnel shape and madly pouring it into his body.

A roar sounded in his divine sea, his Foundation was solidified once again, and he vaguely touched the threshold of the Myriad Laws Realm.

The five-hundredth step.

The sea of clouds churned, and the purple Qi had not yet completely dissipated.

The Prodigies below looked up at that white-clothed back, as if looking up at an insurmountable divine mountain.

Devouring a Return to One Realm Dao Shadow with a single palm—what kind of insane Foundation is this?

At the three-hundredth step, the nine golden Dragon shadows beneath Ying Tian's feet let out low roars.

For the first time, a look of extreme solemnity, and even a hint of ferocity, appeared on his imperial face, which was usually as calm as an ancient well.

He, the Eternal Imperial Son, had been revered by his peers since birth; when had he ever been looked down upon in this manner?

"What a Holy Son of Daoxuan." Ying Tian's gaze was like a torch, his voice cold.

Xuanyuan Che, who was a dozen steps away, slowly tucked the Dao scripture in his hand into his sleeve.

Xuanyuan Che put away his cynical smile.

He looked at the back above, which was now just a small white dot, and exhaled a breath of turbid air.

"Brother Ying, it seems that if we continue to hold back, Gu Changsheng will truly be the only one shining in this Langxiao Immortal Ceremony."

As soon as the words fell.

A Dragon roar that could pierce gold and crack stone erupted from around Ying Tian.

"Boom!"

The supreme technique of the Eternal Dynasty, "Nine Dragons Ruling the Heavens Art," was fully activated.

The nine golden Dragons, which had originally been illusory, solidified inch by inch at this moment, turning into nine brilliant five-clawed golden Dragons that circled around Ying Tian.

His dragon robe snapped in the wind, and fine golden Dragon scales appeared on the surface of his skin.

Ying Tian took a step forward.

The white jade steps beneath his feet trembled violently, and a few tiny cracks spread out.

He actually ignored the redoubled Law pressure after the three-hundredth step, turned into a golden thunderbolt, and charged straight into the clouds!

"Three hundred and fifty steps, three hundred and eighty steps, four hundred steps!"

The speed was incredibly fast.

On the other side, Xuanyuan Che also moved.

He formed an ancient Dao seal with one hand.

"Clear Heavens One Qi, All Laws Natural."

A beam of Innate Dao light, clear as water, shot up from his crown, turning into a hazy Dao domain that pushed away all the surrounding oppressive Laws.

His pace was neither hurried nor slow, but with every step he took, his figure would span more than ten steps, shrinking the earth to an inch, following closely behind Ying Tian.

The explosion of the two Prodigies was like lighting a powder keg.
