341: Chapter 75: Power of Life and Death 341: Chapter 75: Power of Life and Death The True Dragon Dharma loomed between heaven and earth.
Thousands of Ruyi Dao Principles tumbled like waterfalls, entrapping the body of the True Dragon.
All around the Imperial City, billowing clouds of dust spiraled into the air.
A million armored cavalry charged out from within the Ruyi Cave Heaven…
Emperor Qi was right.
If the order of this realm collapsed, he would take upon himself the duty of overseeing the Heavenly Dao!
Through the millennia, the Ruyi Dao evolved continuously, now having become the supreme Heavenly Dao of this Grotto Heaven!
Emperor Qi, suspended at the apex of the sky, his imperial robe fluttering, the glowing light that veiled his face gradually dissipated.
The multitude of faces of all life dispersed with the light, finally revealing a resolute and indifferent male visage.
The Ruyi Dao healed his broken body and soul.
Donning the imperial robe, his white hair turned black.
His features gradually became younger, and after a few breaths, he restored to the peak appearance of a man in his twenties, his vitality as vast as the ocean.
In his eyes shone the imperial majesty!
Qing Li still wore a tattered robe, but strands of hair floated up, and the “worldly” aura about her was gradually fading.
She was attracting the spiritual charm of heaven and earth, the radiance of the Dao.
She calmly watched the emperor afar, drawing power from heaven and earth, from the devotions of all beings.
The spine of the True Dragon was as wide as a mountain ridge, and now it shook slightly.
A message transmitted into the Heart Lake of Xie Xuanyi.
“The battle to come will be very dangerous.”
Qing Li didn’t turn around, as she was concentrating most of her efforts on Emperor Qi…
this unfinished battle, after a thousand years, was about to meet its end today.
Once a Heavenly Person makes a move, heaven and earth could collapse.
Xie Xuanyi’s expression was grave.
He knew that this level of combat was far beyond what this place could withstand.
Once they started,
this main city would shatter first, followed by the entire Great Yue Kingdom being reduced to ruins…
“If successful…
I will slay him and pluck the Ruyi Dao Principles to gift to you.”
Qing Li’s voice carried a gentle laughter.
She knew.
Xie Xuanyi entered the Great Yue Kingdom in search of the Divine Fruit.
There was no Divine Fruit in the world.
But there was the Ruyi Dao that could fulfill one’s wishes.
“The Divine Fruit…
has become less important to me.”
Xie Xuanyi shook his head and said seriously, “Even without this opportunity, I can still carve my own path.”
His biggest obsession in his previous life was missing the chance at Snow Mountain, which prevented him from developing a second Sword Dao.
But now,
Xie Xuanyi had seen the “truth.”
The Divine Fruit was nothing more than an illusion forged by the Ruyi Dao.
In this world, not everything goes as people wish, does it?
Having a second life is already incredibly fortunate.
He successfully ignited his acupoints with golden Primordial Fire.
Even without the Divine Fruit, he could still forge a new Dao!
“I don’t know if I will win this battle,”
Qing Li softly said, “But one thing I’m sure of, even if I lose, he won’t be the winner.”
“This Great Yue Kingdom has already become a sacrifice for ‘ascending,’ and its realm cannot be restored.”
“Emperor Qi wants to complete the Ruyi Dao Principles, become the Heavenly Dao himself, and replace this world, letting the Ruyi Cave Heaven become a complete world in its entirety.”
“Thus, those who have died can be revived.
The Country of Silent Annihilation can start over.”
She chuckled, “It’s just a pity, some things are doomed to fail.
The reason there is still this battle…
is only because someone is deep in delusion and can’t extricate themselves.”
The Ruyi Dao weaves illusions for everyone.
As the master of the Dao,
Emperor Qi is the deepest trapped in the illusion.
…
…
“In any case, before the battle officially starts, I’ll first send you away,”
Qing Li inhaled gently, saying warmly, “I need to confront the Ruyi Dao Principles.
I don’t have much power to use at the moment, but…
it’s enough to clear your troubles.”
As she spoke the word “troubles,”
Xie Xuanyi was slightly stunned.
The next moment,
Standing at the dragon head, Qing Li lightly pressed down with both hands, a residual soul separated from her body and walked towards Xie Xuanyi and Ao Ying, an invisible aura spreading out.
The Ruyi Dao Principles of Emperor Qi had sealed the realm, fierce murderous intent erupting from the top of the sky, chilling to the bone.
At that moment, the young girl extended her palm and gently touched their shoulders, the murderous aura dissipated, and the chill faded away.
The battle to slay the dragon fell into a struggle between the two sides.
Emperor Qi was still drawing power from the Ruyi Dao Principles, restoring his former strength—
Qing Li managed to divide her attention to protect the two.
The next moment,
Qing Li appeared with Xie Xuanyi and Ao Ying within an ancient city, in an alley miles away.
There, a black robe fluttered in the wind, held in place by massive mana, unable to move; this black robe was none other than the residual thoughts of Great True Master Chong Kan, sent after Ao Ying!
Though they were just residual thoughts,
they still held much of the original’s consciousness.
The reason Great True Master Chong Kan placed this thread of Divine Soul in Xie Sheng’s Heart Lake was to wait for the maturation of Red Dragon Fortune, to seize the final causality…
To remain hidden, it was best that the host, Xie Sheng, remained completely unaware, thus the Divine Soul was exceedingly faint, growing bit by bit by drawing on Red Dragon Fortune.
Avoiding misfortune and seeking fortune was the specialty of Chong Kan’s residual thoughts.
Thus, when hunting down Ao Ying to the Great Yue Well, he sensed something was wrong—
This was also why Prince Jiu hadn’t discovered Chong Kan’s residual thoughts…
The thread lived by absorbing Red Dragon Fortune.
When the son of Red Dragon Fortune was slain, naturally he sought to retrieve the fortune, but upon realizing the Great Yue Well was a place of inevitable doom, Chong Kan’s residual thoughts gave up on the fortune and made the right choice, which was to leave the main city and flee beyond the Secret Realm.
