Chapter 939

"I've heard that whoever obtains the Great Chaos Art is very likely the Child of Chaos. Could this Fang Yu also be a Child of Chaos? Several hundred thousand years ago, a Child of Chaos left behind endless legends, and later all ascended to the Immortal Realm!"

"The Immortal Realm? That word is too sacred. Although among the mortal world we are giants, we are the Laozu Sect, but the distance to ascension is still far, far too great. Moreover, even our Laozu Sect has worries about ascension. After ascending, will one still have a status like the present? That is a question. One might end up as cannon fodder."

"We've spoken too far afield. Let's watch the great battle in the arena instead. Although Ancestor Xuan Ting has gained the upper hand with his great immortal art, that Fang Yu has not shown any sign of defeat either. His Great Chaos Art is simply invulnerable to all arts!"

At this moment upon the fighting arena, Fang Yu still had strength to spare. It was not that he had no means to deal with this peerless genius of the Holy Light Great World. As long as he unleashed his full power, he could break through all of Ancestor Xuan Ting's immortal arts. His magic power had already reached ninety-nine Long Zhili, while Ancestor Xuan Ting, who had cultivated great arts such as the Great Son of Heaven Art, the Great Decree Art, and the Great Radiance Art, had a magic power of only thirty or forty Long Zhili — far below his.

Longevity Second Layer, an undying body, magic power exceeding another's by a single Long Zhili — even that could seize the initiative in a magical duel, let alone exceeding by more than fifty Long Zhili. That was a qualitative change.

Of course, to truly slay this peerless genius in one stroke was not such a simple matter. The clothes he wore were all High-Grade Dao artifacts, and the augmentation a High-Grade Dao artifact provided a cultivator was immensely tremendous.

Fang Yu felt that this peerless genius likely carried more than a single High-Grade Dao artifact — at least one offensive High-Grade Dao artifact — and perhaps even a life-preserving item bestowed upon him by the Xuan family's Void Immortal Laozu. Therefore, there was no need to slay this peerless genius.

Within his body, numerous Dao arts and divine abilities were operating — the Three Thousand Great Dao, the Great Five Elements Art, the Three Thousand Great Dao, the Great Calamity Art, the Great Origin Art, the Great Chaos Art, the Great Yin-Yang Art, the Great Star Art, the Great Severing Art, the Great Slaughter Art, the Great Devouring Art, the Great Collapse Art, the Great Thunder Art, the Great Sealing Gods Art, the Great Binding Art, the Great Tribulation Art, the Great Shift Art, the Great Curse Art, the Great Seal Art, the Great Freezing Art, the Great Firmament Art, the Great Life Art, the Great Soul Art, the Great Dominion Art, the Great True Adamantine Art, the Great Dragon Visage Art, and so on — these great Dao divine abilities flowed within him, displaying countless mysteries.

Outside was the Son of Heaven Decree great immortal art condensed from the Great Son of Heaven Art and the Great Decree Art, while within Fang Yu's body so many great Dao divine abilities flowed. Between this inner and outer, in their resonance, Fang Yu's wisdom turned rapidly. It was as if he had returned to his time in the Wildlands Realm, when he comprehended numerous divine abilities on his own and comprehended the fusion of numerous Dao arts on his own.

In the Wildlands Realm, everyone had the habit of comprehending divine abilities on their own. It was a very good habit. Like Jining of that world, who ceaselessly comprehended numerous great Dao divine abilities and began fusing Dao arts from a very young age.

And now, as Fang Yu witnessed this Son of Heaven Decree immortal art, the numerous Dao arts and divine abilities circulated in his mind, and a sudden realization stirred within him. Suddenly, with a great grab of his hand, the Great Five Elements Art and the Great Calamity Art underwent many wondrous transformations.

The Five Elements circulated, displaying a vigorous vitality, and within the flow of that vigorous vitality, many calamities erupted, as if about to evolve certain mysteries of the Five Elements' destruction and the world's fall.

This is the arising, abiding, decay, and emptiness of all Dao arts in the world.

Arising is formation.

Abiding is development.

Decay is the beginning of destruction.

Emptiness is the final state of destruction.

Everything in the world must undergo the changes of arising, abiding, decay, and emptiness.

This was a transformation Fang Yu had comprehended, but with his current realm, he still could not fully grasp such a transformation.

To thoroughly comprehend such a mystery, Fang Yu's cultivation base would likely need to reach at least the Longevity Sixth Layer Heavenly Throne realm.

But even though Fang Yu had not yet grasped the complete mystery of this, it was enough to deal with Ancestor Xuan Ting. Just as Ancestor Xuan Ting ceaselessly unleashed the Son of Heaven Decree great immortal art, seeking to utterly grind Fang Yu away, boundless chaotic radiance erupted in an instant. From within that chaos emerged a aura that even Ancestor Xuan Ting felt was immensely dangerous. He was about to burn pure-yang elixirs, fiercely forcing his High-Grade Dao artifact to instantly go berserk.

But an aura of arising, abiding, decay, and emptiness was transmitted outward — the aura of the great calamity between heaven and earth. Beneath such a terrifying calamity aura, what Son of Heaven, what decree — all were nothing.

The Three Thousand Great Dao, the Great Son of Heaven Art, claims to be able to control all Xu Yuan Qi. To fight a cultivator who has cultivated the Great Son of Heaven Art, a cultivator cannot even mobilize his own magic power.

But the Son of Heaven, before the world's arising, abiding, decay, and emptiness, is also nothing.

Everything shall return to decay and emptiness. This is the will of the heavens above, this is the will of the Heavenly Dao.

Beneath such a terrifying will, Ancestor Xuan Ting could not move at all, could not even mobilize his own magic power, and even his will became blank in an instant.

This was a realm of great terror. He could only wait for death.

But within his body, a talisman suddenly ignited.

The instant that talisman burned, the spacetime around Ancestor Xuan Ting changed in an instant. The time around him seemed to have come to a halt.

Indeed, the spacetime around Ancestor Xuan Ting had now been thoroughly affected. The spacetime there had undergone tremendous changes. All time seemed like congealed liquid, no longer flowing.

"What — what has happened?"

"Senior Brother Ancestor Xuan Ting was invincible, suppressing Fang Yu completely. How did Fang Yu suddenly erupt and nearly slay Senior Brother Ancestor Xuan Ting?"

"And now what is going on? How did such a talisman appear from within Senior Brother Ancestor Xuan Ting's body? What talisman is that? It gives me an extremely terrifying feeling. Has the void around Senior Brother Ancestor Xuan Ting come to a standstill? It feels as if the spacetime is different from ours!"

The young disciples of the four great worlds all turned pale with shock. Some disciples were even so startled they stood up from their seats. Every one of them was utterly shocked and utterly curious, wanting to see what exactly had happened.

"A Great Time Talisman — well done, Ancestor Xuan Zhong. You actually refined such a talisman for your disciples. What's the point of fighting then? How about I also refine a World Talisman for Fang Yu and let him carry a World Talisman into this Cide Assembly?"

"This has indeed gone too far — actually using a talisman like the Great Time Talisman. Do you think we cannot refine Time Talismans? This matter must be answered for!"

"The Great Time Talisman can halt time within a small range. It can only be refined by a Laozu of the Longevity Fourth Layer Chrono-Light realm. But which one of those present cannot refine such a talisman? Disciples may have their own fortuitous encounters, may obtain Low-Grade Dao artifacts, may obtain Mid-Grade Dao artifacts, may obtain High-Grade Dao artifacts — even, if you are willing, you may give your world's Supreme-Grade Dao artifacts and immortal artifacts to your disciples. But something like the Great Time Talisman should not appear upon the fighting arena. This is equivalent to the Laozu directly joining the battle! What meaning is there then?"

The Laozu of the Kanli Great World, one after another, began to rage. Each of them was a being who had cultivated to Longevity Fourth Layer, Longevity Fifth Layer, Longevity Sixth Layer, or Seventh Layer. Even the Sect Master of the Kanlishen Sect — this supreme Laozu who had cultivated to the Longevity Eighth Layer Mixed Cave realm — frowned, his gaze turning toward the leader of the Holy Light Great World, Ancestor Xuan Jie.

"Fellow Daoist Xuan Jie, what do you have to say about this matter?"

"This matter…"

That Ancestor Xuan Jie leading the group pondered briefly, then spoke. "Ancestor Xuan Ting this child is greatly loved by our Xuan family's Laozu Sect, the Innocent Laozu Sect, so he was bestowed a Great Time Talisman to preserve his life. He did not intend to use it upon the Battle God battlefield. This time it was that genius of your great world who was too strong, triggering that talisman. So what if Ancestor Xuan Ting this child loses?"

"That is acceptable."

Seeing that Ancestor Xuan Jie had not shown partiality, the Laozu of the Kanli Great World nodded.

Thus this great battle came to an end.

Fang Yu had won the victory of this great battle!

Advancing to the top two.
