Chapter 279 - 161: Ultimate Sublimation, The Invincible Road Appears

BOOM!

The Celestial Destiny Sword unleashed a vast Divine Light, shattering the desolate Void layer by layer.

Tens of thousands of miles of space trembled unceasingly, stirring up immense, powerful ripples of energy.

At the center of the ripples, Xu Mo was pinned firmly in the void by the Celestial Destiny Sword.

Ink-black blood cascaded down like a waterfall of stars, splashing into a vast ocean!

The Cultivators who had been lucky enough to avoid the battle’s shockwaves couldn’t help but look up. One by one, their jaws dropped, their faces filled with incredulous horror.

"S-Sect Leader Xu Mo... was killed?!"

"Using Divine Light to form a bow and a Divine Sword as the arrow, he shattered Sect Leader Xu’s Star Blood Transformation Array with a single shot! He even killed the Sect Leader himself! Just what Realm has this Celestial Destiny Emperor reached?!"

"They all say that Mu Tiange is invincible in this era, but I’m starting to think the Celestial Destiny Emperor is a cut above!"

"It looked like the Celestial Destiny Emperor just used two different types of Immortal Emperor’s Law! It’s too profound; I can’t even begin to comprehend it!"

Each and every Cultivator felt their worldview shattering as they witnessed the most unbelievable scene of their lives.

An Immortal Emperor, famous for tens of thousands of years, had been pinned and killed in the void by another Immortal Emperor who had only achieved his status a century ago—with a single sword strike!

Nearly seventy years had passed since the Celestial Gate appeared and the new great era began.

These Cultivators had already seen more than their fair share of shocking events.

But compared to the scene before them, everything else paled in comparison.

After this battle, the Celestial Destiny Emperor would likely seize the title of the strongest Immortal Emperor from Mu Tiange!

Just then,

VWIIIING!

The Celestial Destiny Sword let out a ring like a dragon’s cry, unleashing tidal waves of residual Dao Charm.

The sound wave was immense, like a cloud hanging from the heavens—boundless and endless, spreading for thousands of miles in an instant.

The moment the sound rang out,

BOOM!

The Celestial Destiny Sword, with overwhelming force, blasted Xu Mo’s body to pieces, erupting in a righteous Divine Light.

However, it did not fly back into Wang Xiao’s hands. Instead, it shot up into the sky like a meteor reversing its course.

It traversed the void, warping and teleporting unpredictably.

Like a skipping stone, it shot out tens of thousands of miles in the blink of an eye.

The crowd of Cultivators could no longer see the Celestial Destiny Sword itself, but they could see the direction it was heading.

It was heading straight for the Celestial Gate!

VWIIIING!

With a sword ring that shook the Nine Heavens, the Celestial Destiny Sword vanished into the Celestial Gate.

"Huh? The Divine Sword entered the Celestial Gate. What is it going to do?!"

"It’s so fast! I doubt even an Immortal Emperor could dodge that strike!"

"Is the Celestial Destiny Emperor going to kill someone else?!"

After their initial shock, the Cultivators were bewildered, completely clueless as to what Wang Xiao was planning.

「Inside the Celestial Gate.」

Within a cave dwelling so dark you couldn’t see your hand in front of your face, a place seemingly devoured by shadows,

"HUUUFF—"

a ragged gasp suddenly echoed.

Immediately after, two vortexes of void, blacker than the darkness itself, began to spin, devouring the surrounding shadows.

Finally, a phantom figure robed in black gradually emerged from within the void!

Though the phantom’s features were unclear, anyone could sense its shock and fury.

"Celestial Destiny Emperor, damn you! I spent fifty or sixty thousand years and countless Heavenly and Earthly Treasures to forge that avatar, and you just destroyed it! I will never rest until you are dead!"

Xu Mo seethed, grinding his teeth.

He had been practicing Cultivation Immortality for nearly a hundred thousand years and had never suffered such a humiliating defeat.

Fortunately, he had the foresight to have his True Form sneak into the Celestial Gate and go into hiding, quietly awaiting the appearance of the Invincible Road.

Otherwise, he would have truly died just now.

However, the memory of that final, world-shaking sword strike still sent a tremor of fear through him.

That strike was completely unstoppable, and it had utterly suppressed his Law!

What in the world was that power?!

Just as Xu Mo was reeling from the lingering fear,

VWIIIING!

A familiar sword ring suddenly exploded by his ear.

’It can’t be...?!’

Xu Mo’s pupils contracted violently. He felt his very soul trying to flee his body, and his scalp went numb with terror.

In his field of vision, a brilliant beam of Divine Light was warping through the Void Space, leaving incandescent ripples in its wake as it shot straight for him!

In an instant, he felt as if every pore on his body had been completely locked onto!

"Fuck! How is this possible?! Celestial Destiny Emperor, damn you!"

Xu Mo couldn’t help but cry out in alarm.

He couldn’t understand how the Celestial Destiny Emperor had managed to find him across two different realms.

This strike was impossible to dodge and impossible to evade. He could only face it head-on!

"AAAAH!"

Xu Mo frantically began to burn his own True Form. An endless Void engulfed the surrounding space, swallowing everything whole!

The cave dwelling and the mountains were completely dissolved in an instant.

Everything within a thousand-mile radius vanished, transforming into endless darkness.

It was like a patch of desolate, starry sky.

Xu Mo’s arm shot up like a dragon. His fingers clenched and unclenched, violently transforming into a hand of pure Void that reached for the Celestial Destiny Sword!

HSSSSSS!

He felt a power as vast as a thousand Tianhe rivers crashing down suddenly erupt from the sword in his grasp.

Even though his Void could dissolve anything, it couldn’t affect this sharp sword in the slightest!

Instantly, his hand of Void was torn into countless fragments!

The Celestial Destiny Sword once again bloomed with glorious Divine Light. Like a divine punishment, like the collapse of the Dao itself, it slammed violently into Xu Mo’s chest!

"You want to kill me? It won’t be that easy!"

Feeling his life force draining away madly, Xu Mo fell into a frenzy. His eyes, like voids in a starry sky, revealed a bloodthirsty and chaotic aura.

He stretched out his hands, and countless streams of Void formed into tentacles, lashing out violently at the Celestial Destiny Sword!

TWANG! TWANG! TWANG!

The immense power emanating from the Void tentacles was instantly shredded by the Celestial Destiny Sword!

However, these Void tentacles were born of Xu Mo’s desperate final struggle. They gathered in ever-increasing numbers, actually trying to pull the Celestial Destiny Sword out of his body!
