Chapter 637: Not a sound until the end, then a roar that shakes the world!

【"A great dream, and upon waking, these are still the cowards I see... This world is truly boring, boring to the extreme!"】 The Haigu Daoren, known as Tian Jiangjun, shook his head and let out a sigh of regret.

And just as Tian Jiangjun sighed, a crisp sound came from his jawbone.

Crack.

Then, with a clatter, it fell to the ground, before instantly shattering and dissipating.

"General!"

Xue Sui's eyes were on the verge of splitting as he watched this scene, and he let out a painful wail. Although he did not regret his actions, he felt deep agony in his heart for having forced the General to strike.

Was his judgment, in the end, right? Or wrong?

【"You, oh you, why must you act like this?"】 Tian Jiangjun appeared indifferent and waved his hand at Xue Sui.

Then...

Crack.

His wrist also flew off, struck the wall, and shattered into nothingness.

"General!!!"

【"Cough, cough, it is merely a small matter, do not be agitated. This body was originally just a remnant soul condensed together."】

This time, Tian Jiangjun learned his lesson and did not move recklessly. Instead, he looked at his subordinate, who refused to accept the facts, with hollow eye sockets and said slowly:

【"Even the Heavenly Court cannot exist forever; how can there be a banquet in this world that never ends? Where in this world is there true immortality?"】

Xue Sui clenched his fists, then lowered his head in sorrow, saying unwillingly: "But... General, you once had the chance. You were the one with the greatest opportunity to become the Supreme!"

In the era when the Immortals were brilliant, Tian Jiangjun was the most outstanding among the Immortals and a role model for countless of the Human Race. Who knows how many fairy maidens and demonesses had once fallen for him and sent him invitations.

But Tian Jiangjun had never responded to any of them, remaining forever alone, keeping company with warriors, and seeking the Dao with a single mind.

Devoted to the sword, obsessed with the sword.

He was regarded as the number one person beneath the two masters of the Heavenly Court, commanding the military power of the four directions of the Heavenly Court.

【"No, you are wrong, I had no chance."】

"But..."

【"Xue Sui, you do not understand."】

Tian Jiangjun chuckled twice and said calmly: 【"Whether it was the Heavenly Emperor or the Heavenly God, both saw my problem. I might have had the potential no weaker than the two of them, but I could never reach their heights. How could I have become the Supreme?"】

【"It is just that those fellows did not know this point, and instead, after the Heavenly God disappeared, they regarded me as their greatest rival and used assassination to ambush me. It can only be called stupid."】

【"They harmed me, and I am not angry; I only feel they are devoid of righteousness."】

【"But they actually attempted to cut off the path to Ascension for the people of the world, not giving them a chance. This is heartless... and it makes me very angry."】

Two flames ignited within the eye sockets of the Haigu Daoren.

【"Those who achieve Ascension and become gods actually have not a shred of warmth for the mortal world; they are truly the dregs among the Immortal Gods."】

【"They deserve to be executed."】

Tian Jiangjun's voice was calm, without any gnashing of teeth or roars, but the intense killing intent contained within caused countless Sword Shadows to manifest in the Cave Abode, slashing at the surroundings and leaving behind trail after trail of sword marks.

Xue Sui stood where he was without any fear; not a single sword mark harmed him, yet he felt only sorrow in his heart.

Only at this moment did he confirm that the General's state was indeed very poor, not as relaxed and at ease as it appeared on the surface.

Because if it were in the past, how could he be sighing here?

He would have definitely picked up his sword and sought out those fellows directly, regardless of whether they were right or wrong, and slaughtered them all clean first.

【"But fortunately, this world still seems to have hope."】

While striking just now, Tian Jiangjun had observed the youth who was currently breaking through.

He was very satisfied.

Although he was a bit excessively young, he was truly quite good.

Since ancient times, heroes have emerged from among the youth.

As for the aura of both demon and human on the other party, Tian Jiangjun did not care at all.

Heroes do not ask their origins.

Whether he is human or demon, it makes no difference.

Moreover, from the various miscellaneous auras on him, one could tell that he was not the only one who thought highly of him.

Fortunately, not all the Immortal Gods have rotted away.

【"Xue Sui."】

"... This subordinate is here."

【"Do not be saddened for me; I am not yet so easily fallen completely."】

The flames in Tian Jiangjun's eye sockets gradually extinguished, and his voice became increasingly blurred. 【"I will rest for a while. When you feel the time is right, wake me up. I probably still have two chances to strike... Hmm, two? Or three?"】

【"Forget it, it is not important. I should still be able to hack to death two or three Immortal Gods at the late stage of Ascension, right? If I am lucky, maybe even more... Enough, I am going to rest now..."】

"... This subordinate understands." Although Xue Sui had ten thousand words he wanted to say in his heart, he knew the General had made up his mind and he could not persuade him otherwise, so he could only honestly accept the order.

【"Mm."】

As the flames in the Haigu Daoren's eye sockets completely extinguished, the aura on his body also dissipated, and his body began to shatter from the bottom up.

Xue Sui could not bear to watch this scene and turned his head away.

But just as Tian Jiangjun was left with only a skull missing its jaw that had not yet shattered, he suddenly spoke again.

【"Ah, I almost forgot a small matter."】

Xue Sui:?

【"Just now, taking advantage of the opportunity to strike, I scanned this world and discovered that my descendants have not actually been wiped out. It truly surprises me."】

Xue Sui:??

Descendants!?

Since when did the General have descendants?

"When I was still in the mortal world, I was once married. Later, my wife passed away before me, so I devoted myself to the Dao and no longer sought intimacy with any woman."

Tian Jiangjun understood what Xue Sui wanted to ask and explained it casually:

"When I achieved Ascension, I severed my ties with the mortal past; I no longer concerned myself with the affairs of my descendants, nor did I interfere in their lives."

"But I did not expect that in the end, I would still be unable to let go, so I investigated."

The Bronze Lamp that Tian Jiangjun had been holding drifted into Xue Sui's hands.

"This object nourishes the soul, but it no longer holds much significance for me. Give this to my descendants; consider it the care that I, as an ancestor, owe them."

Having said this, Tian Jiangjun did not care whether Xue Sui agreed or not; the remaining half of his skull shattered directly, unilaterally cutting off the conversation.

"Wait... General!?"

Xue Sui:???

It was not the first or second time his General had been willful; he had long since grown accustomed to such developments.

But...

"You could at least tell me where I am supposed to go to find your descendants!!?"

Looking at the Bronze Lamp, which could be called an Immortal artifact, Xue Sui felt his head swell.

"I can't just carry this thing around and look for them one by one, can I!?"

And just as Tian Jiangjun struck out in all directions and beheaded a Demon God, Sikong Yu blinked, greatly shocked.

"This Sword Intent... is it actually that brat? I remember that back then, he was beaten to the point of near-total destruction of body and soul, and in the end, he even took a Demon God at full strength with him. He didn't end up mutually destroyed by the other party?"

Even He had not expected that Tian Jiangjun had actually survived until now.

Moreover, he had actually formed a connection with Ren Yidao and was willing to strike forcefully for him at this time.

"Yidao, this child, his good fortune is truly incomparably profound."

Even Sikong Yu could not help but sigh at this moment; the good fortune of the Heavenly Fox Bloodline was truly formidable—he was worthy of being an auspicious demon!

"However, in the current situation, even if He strikes, it is not enough; there is no way to force all these fellows away."

Yes, even with the sword light from Li Yandao and Tian Jiangjun that pierced through Heaven and Earth, although some Immortal Gods withdrew from these muddy waters, there were still several existences who did not intend to stop.

The forces behind Ren Yidao had indeed frightened away two-thirds of the Immortal Gods, but at the same time, his good fortune also made these existences fearful.

He had not yet achieved the Dao, and he already possessed such influence; if he were to truly achieve the Dao, and these people around him were to unite, then they themselves would certainly face retaliation.

Their own strength had not yet fully recovered, but the other party was an Immortal at full strength!

Although he was only at the initial stage of the Ascension Realm, he could absolutely not be underestimated.

Since the matter of obstructing the Dao today had already created enmity, rather than waiting for the other party to adjust and seek revenge in the future, it would be better to do things thoroughly.

Strike while the iron is hot!

If you still have a backup plan, then bring it out and let us see!

Although the malice in the dark had been reduced to one-third, these existences were more dangerous than before.

They had made up their minds; they would no longer be frightened away by any accidents, and they were determined to wipe out this threat here today!

Once the killing intent of the Immortal Gods arose, it manifested directly upon Heaven and Earth.

Terrifying lightning flashed across all four corners of Beiming Divine Continent; countless mortals were startled awake from their dreams by the thunderous booms, feeling the terrifying aura that seemed to destroy the world, not knowing what had happened.

"You dare!?"

Li Yandao glared at the Immortal Gods who had torn off their masks and were preparing to close in. He gripped the Qian Sword in his hand, and the Qian Mirror rotated all around, preparing to find the most suitable target to strike.

He had already prepared himself to die in battle.

But even so, he would make these fellows who disrespected Beigan pay a painful price!

Qingzhuan Dojo.

Having had two previous accidents, Sikong Yu learned his lesson this time; he waited for a while, and only after confirming that no one else intended to strike did he nod.

"Hmm, there shouldn't be anyone else this time."

"Ahem, it is finally my turn, sigh... since when did I have to queue up just to make a move?"

Just as Ren Yidao was about to suffer a sneak attack, and just as Sikong Yu, after being interrupted twice, had finally brewed his emotions and was about to strike, an accident happened again.

But this time, no new face appeared.

Instead, the Fox Immortal himself, who was sitting cross-legged in the shrine, opened his eyes.

"You all wish to obstruct my Ascension?"

No one had expected that the main subject at the center of the storm, the Fox Immortal himself, who should have been struggling bitterly to break through the barrier at this moment, would actually speak!

Ren Yidao opened his eyes and looked indifferently at the terrifying figures in the sky.

After scanning the circle, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he asked with a sneer:

"Who dares?"

Are there Immortal Gods who dare to obstruct the Dao?

Heh.

Just kick them away.

Now that things have reached this point, since he chose to break through with such a high profile, there is no need to continue hiding.

If one does not make a sound, one will shock everyone when one finally does.

Since I went to the trouble of creating such a spectacle to lure these fish in, let me harvest them myself.

"Yaoyue, step aside; I will handle it myself."

Ren Yidao spoke softly, causing Yaoyue, who had been blocking in front of him the entire time and had even prepared to die in his stead, to turn her head back in hesitation.

"Yidao, you..."

Although she was very confident in her disciple, she dared not be certain whether Ren Yidao could truly handle such a formation before them all by himself.

That was the Ascension Realm, and not just one or two, but at least ten!

Although Yaoyue had already achieved an alternative path to Dao and had always believed in her own strength, even as confident as she was, she had no certainty in facing more than three Immortal Gods.

Yet her own disciple actually dared to say he would fight ten.

"Rest assured, I can do it."

"I will not treat my own life lightly, nor will I lie to you."

Under Ren Yidao's gentle gaze, although Yaoyue still felt mostly hesitant in her heart, she chose to believe him.

"Mm, be careful. If you are not a match, I will take you away."

Yaoyue had already prepared herself in her heart; if Ren Yidao were to be defeated, she would use her own life to buy him time to escape!

This did not even concern the love between the two, but rather it was something she, as his master, naturally ought to do.

The figure in the shrine stepped out, passed by the bowing Dao God, ignored the request to strike to make amends for past faults, and merged into one with the flying main body.

When the Divine Soul and the physical body merged into one, the aura that had just been suppressed could no longer be restrained.

Ren Yidao transformed into an illusory figure, and as he soared into the sky, he suddenly grew taller; his massive form blotted out the sun and moon, occupying an entire province!

The aura on his body surged wildly from the Void Refining Peak.

He entered the Formless stage, and then, without even pausing, he soared directly to the Great Perfection of Formless; the entire process did not take even a single breath of time.

He lingered at the Great Perfection of Formless for an instant, and then in the next moment, he broke through the barrier, ascending into the Wenda zhi Jing, becoming a Wenda expert in the eyes of the world.

However, this was not the limit.

The moment Ren Yidao took that step, he began to automatically deduce the final remaining part of the Ten Thousand Generations Art in his mind—the final Future Method!

As the Ten Thousand Generations Art was perfected bit by bit, his strength also surged bit by bit.

Early Ask Dao, Mid Ask Dao, Ask Dao Late Stage, Ask Dao Peak... then he took a step forward and broke through directly to the Half-Immortal Realm!

Judging by the momentum, it was even more astonishing than what the Black Tortoise Lord had displayed while throwing his weight around at the Sword Casting Hut!

"I wish to attain the Dao."

"Dare I ask the world, who dares to stop me?"

"You all?"

"Heh."

From the very beginning, Ren Yidao never intended to let anyone help him.

The support of the Li Family was an accident, and the Sword Intent of the Tian Jiangjun surprised him even more.

Ren Yidao was deeply moved by their trust.

But even if no one helped, it would not matter at all.

Because he had always been prepared to undergo this Tribulation of Attaining the Dao by himself!

At the same time, three identical figures split off from his figure that stood as tall as Heaven and charged toward the other three directions.

You have surrounded me?

No, it is you who have been surrounded by me!

At this moment, everyone could only stare blankly at Ren Yidao, watching him use his Half-Immortal body to turn the tables and hunt down the Immortal Gods.

Huh?

But just as Ren Yidao was sprinting toward the four directions, a bolt of blood-colored lightning flashed across the sky, split into four in mid-air, and struck toward the space between the brows of him and his clones.

The Ascension Tribulation, which had been late for a long time, descended with a boom at this very moment!!!
