95: Chapter 95 "Reflection—The Heavens!"

Immortal Emperor Jiaoheng.

The future Immortal Emperor Jiaoheng.

His gaze, crossing endless time and space, fell upon Chu Tianjiao's fallen body.

He smiled.

That smile was gentle and gratified.

"Go and do what you want to do."

He spoke softly, then turned into a beam of light and plunged into Chu Tianjiao's body.

At that moment—

Chu Tianjiao opened his eyes.

What kind of eyes were those—bright as a galaxy, deep as the Universe, with scenes of creation swirling within, containing a pressure that suppressed All Heavens.

He slowly stood up.

The bloody hole between his eyebrows healed instantly.

His aura began to climb frantically.

True Immortal—Immortal King—Quasi-Immortal Emperor—Immortal Emperor—

Sacrificial Dao!

In an instant, he stepped into the same level of existence as those four ancestors!

Seeing this, the smiles on the faces of the four ancestors froze instantly.

"What?!"

"Impossible!"

"How could he possibly step into the Sacrificial Dao!"

"That's his future self! The future Immortal Emperor Jiaoheng sensed this and came back to stop us!"

One ancestor discovered in horror that the figure comparable to the Universe was indeed the future Chu Tianjiao—the Immortal Emperor Jiaoheng who had fought them for endless years in the future and made them tremble with fear!

Seeing this, Shi Hao laughed towards the sky.

That laughter was full of relief and gratification.

"You've gone for the wool and come home shorn!"

He shouted, his voice spreading throughout All Heavens.

"You wanted to reverse time and space to kill him, but how could you not know that he, also in the Sacrificial Dao Realm, could not just sit by and watch you come back to kill him? You sent four ancestors to hold him back and four to hold me back, but you didn't expect—that even while facing four ancestors, he would reverse time and space to let his future self return?"

"Instead, you've accelerated his growth!"

The four ancestors' faces turned ashen, yet they were speechless.

After Shi Hao finished laughing, he looked at Chu Tianjiao.

"Do you have the confidence to take them down?"

Chu Tianjiao turned his head and looked at him.

In his eyes, a raging fire of anger, deep-seated hatred, and overwhelming killing intent were burning.

"I will slaughter them myself."

He spoke with a calm voice, yet it carried an indisputable determination.

With those words, he attacked.

No testing, no nonsense; he went all out from the start!

His figure instantly appeared before the ancestor who had personally killed Xiao Nannan, Xiao Shitou, and the Willow Deity, and he threw a punch!

This punch was simple and unadorned.

But wherever the fist passed, time and space froze, the Great Dao submitted, and All Heavens and Myriad Worlds trembled under this punch!

That ancestor's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly moved to block. The two forces of the Sacrificial Dao collided violently, and the shockwave instantly tore through the already shattered Universe, spreading into the endless Void Realm!

"Bang—!"

That ancestor was knocked back by the punch, spitting out a mouthful of strange black blood.

He looked at Chu Tianjiao in horror, his eyes full of disbelief.

"You... you only fused with a sliver of your future True Spirit and have just entered the Sacrificial Dao. How can you be so strong?!"

Chu Tianjiao did not answer.

He attacked again, with another punch.

This punch was stronger, fiercer, and more domineering than the last!

That ancestor desperately resisted but was sent flying by the punch, crashing through countless layers of the Void Realm.

"This punch is for Nannan!"

Chu Tianjiao roared, throwing a third punch!

That ancestor's protective Laws shattered, and dense cracks appeared on his imperial body.

"This punch is for Xiao Shitou!"

Fourth punch!

Half of that ancestor's body exploded, and strange black blood splattered across the Void Realm.

"This punch is for the Willow Deity!"

Fifth punch!

That ancestor's entire body exploded, turning into a sky full of black mist!

But he did not die. A powerhouse of the Sacrificial Dao Realm was not so easy to kill. The black mist surged wildly, attempting to re-condense.

Chu Tianjiao gave him no chance at all.

He raised his hand, and the Tyrant Blade flew from the Void Realm into his hand.

The Tyrant Blade was no longer an Imperial Weapon; it was now the Sacrificial Dao Immortal Weapon that had followed his future self in battle for endless years!

"One last strike—"

Chu Tianjiao raised the Tyrant Blade, and countless images appeared on the blade: Xiao Nannan smiling sweetly at him in Qingshi Town, Xiao Shitou respectfully calling him teacher, the Willow Deity gently stroking his head...

Those images were his most precious memories.

They were also his most deep-seated hatred.

"I'm sending you on your way!"

One slash fell!

The blade light tore through All Heavens, severed time and space, and enveloped that mass of black mist along with the other three ancestors!

"No—!!!"

The three ancestors were terrified and desperately burned their Origin, trying to resist this strike.

But this strike condensed all of Chu Tianjiao's hatred, anger, and unwillingness.

The blade light fell.

The black mist dissipated.

The screams of the four ancestors echoed through All Heavens and then came to an abrupt halt.

The starry sky fell silent.

Chu Tianjiao stood with his blade, panting heavily. He was covered in blood, both his own and the ancestors'. Tears fell silently from his eyes.

He won.

He had killed the four ancestors.

But Xiao Nannan, Xiao Shitou, the Willow Deity—

Their True Spirits were still flickering weakly in his palm, but what about their Physical Bodies? Their Divine Souls?

Chu Tianjiao looked up at the shattered Void Realm. There, the rain of light that Xiao Nannan had turned into was still scattering, Xiao Shitou's broken imperial body was still floating, and the last green light of the Willow Deity was still slowly dissipating.

A flash of realization crossed his eyes.

He was now in the Sacrificial Dao Realm.

What did the Sacrificial Dao Realm mean? It meant Reflecting the Heavens, it meant words becoming Law, it meant—being able to bring everything back to the starting point.

Chu Tianjiao slowly closed his eyes.

He raised his hand, palm up, fingers spread.

And then—

He opened his eyes.

What kind of eyes were those—bright as a galaxy, deep as the Universe, with scenes of creation swirling within, containing a pressure that suppressed All Heavens.

And now, in those eyes, countless images appeared: Xiao Nannan smiling sweetly at him in Qingshi Town, Xiao Shitou respectfully calling him teacher, the Willow Deity gently stroking his head...

Those were his most precious memories.

They were also the foundation for his current Reflecting of All Heavens.

"Reflecting the Heavens!"

He spoke softly; his voice wasn't loud, but it spread throughout the shattered Universe, throughout All Heavens and Myriad Worlds, and into every corner of the long river of time.

The moment his voice fell—

A miracle happened.

The scattering rain of light suddenly flowed backward.

The shattered imperial bodies suddenly reassembled.

The dissipating green lights suddenly reappeared.

Xiao Nannan's body condensed bit by bit from the nothingness. Her eyes were closed, her face peaceful, as if she were merely asleep. On her forehead, the mark of the Chaos Body slowly emerged, deeper and more perfect than before.

Xiao Shitou's body reassembled piece by piece from the fragments. His Sacred Body Origin was more solid than before, with purple patterns faintly flowing within the golden blood Qi—a sign of the Sacred Body moving toward a higher level.

The Willow Deity's body reappeared inch by inch from the green light. Her aura was more vast than before, and Immortal King Dao principles swirled around her, showing signs of a Breakthrough to a higher Realm.
