Chapter 5162: Dao Merge

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Fortunately, his speed and defense far surpassed those of the creatures he faced.

Jian Wushuang’s sword roamed, first clearing out the weaker monsters before confronting a formidable ghost at the Nine Revolutions Grand Yan Immortal level. He understood the principle that even ants, no matter how small, could be overwhelming in numbers.

He didn’t fear battle and was not afraid of the trials between life and death. Although the monsters spawned after the fall of the Emperor were qualitatively stronger than the vast army of corpses, their numbers were fewer. Moreover, these monsters wouldn’t exist for long; as the Great Desolate Wilderness’ heavenly laws grew stronger, they would be assimilated into the source.

These monsters were all formed from the foundational avenues of the Emperors, a great supplement for the world’s origin.

Despite killing so many, those who benefited most were the Great Desolate Wilderness’ heavenly laws.

Suddenly, an idea flashed in Jian Wushuang’s mind!

The Great Desolate Wilderness’ heavenly laws had just formed and couldn’t personally suppress these monsters yet. What if he used his One Thought Universe to devour all the monsters within its range?

Jian Wushuang’s eyes lit up. If this worked, absorbing so many fragments of the Emperors’ avenues with his Extreme Dao source would undoubtedly strengthen him significantly. There might even be a chance for a breakthrough.

His Heart power had grown stronger, his soul realm had reached the Six Revolutions level. Such ordinary barriers couldn’t hinder him. If he hadn’t worried about unstable foundations initially, he would have broken through to the Six Revolutions Grand Yan Immortal in the starry sky.

This was also the reason Hu Qing managed to step into the Nine Revolutions directly but fell back to the Six Revolutions later.

The Six Revolutions was a slope; the Nine Revolutions marked the vertical height and was the limit for Grand Yan Immortals.

Advancing to the level of a Grand Yan Immortal meant that even if one remained in seclusion and didn’t venture out, they could become a Six

Revolutions Grand Yan Immortal based on their comprehension of the Dao. However, there was a certain resistance at the Nine Revolutions, requiring both opportunities and battles.

As for achieving the Perfected Nine Revolutions level, this was a hurdle before the Dao merging. Failing to achieve this meant certain death. Only by becoming a Perfected Nine Revolutions, by perfecting everything within oneself, could one attempt the Dao merging.

However, for most Perfected Nine Revolutions Grand Yan Immortals, they only perfected their foundational avenue. Perfecting one’s physical body, soul, and mental state to this level was incredibly challenging.

Perfecting these cultivations doesn’t guarantee successful enlightenment!

So, most of the Perfected Nine Revolutions Grand Yan Immortals sought opportunities, either through a stroke of luck or seizing the moment, to merge their Daos, attempting to cleanse themselves through the flow of destiny. However, in the end, countless Grand Yan Immortals faltered at this crucial step.

For those who had mastered the fifth-grade fundamental origin of the Great Dao, merging Daos was the simplest. Yet, even this seemingly straightforward path had only a one in a million chance of success. If it were as easy as Emperor Tongtian, there wouldn’t be so few Emperors on the Universe Deity-Demon List.

The current Original Universe had reached maturity, a time when the most powerful beings were abundant, and various paths had long been explored. Ambitious strongmen, however, didn’t choose the fifth-grade fundamental origin of the Great Dao as their life path. Even those with moderate comprehension abilities, the Grand Yan Immortals with self-awareness, opted for the fourth-grade Great Dao, aspiring to become elites within their respective factions.

The third-grade fundamental origin was the backbone of a faction, representing the future upper echelons. The second-grade fundamental origin of the Great Dao was relatively ambiguous, ranging from common to exceptionally unique.

For instance, the Divine Emperor of Eastwood had achieved Emperor status through a second-grade Great Dao, yet even after gaining dominion over higher-level worlds, his strength remained average among the fourth-rank Emperors. Zhen Wuyang’s True Martial Dao was also a second-grade fundamental origin of the Great Dao. However, he only controlled a mid-level world and possessed peak fourth-tier power.

Within the second-grade fundamental origin of the Great Dao, the disparity between common and exceptional paths could be immense, spanning tens of thousands of miles in difference.

In the world of immortals, there were Emperor-level beings, holders of second-grade Grand Dao, ranging from the pinnacle of the third stage to the formidable fifth stage.

Such disparities were the norm.

Naturally, with differences come difficulties.

Despite the numerous Perfected Nine Revolutions Grand Yan Immortals listed in the Universe Deity-Demon List, only a handful might eventually become Emperors.

The Grand Yan Immortals, who had achieved the Perfected Nine Revolutions, found it exceedingly difficult to perish in the Original Universe; most of them met their demise on the Dao merging.

Jian Wushuang had also grasped this through cryptic texts. He embodied the

Ultimate Dao, but the challenge of unification was monumental. Now, with the addition of the Extreme Dao, the pressure of Dao unification overwhelmed him, leaving him breathless.

Fortunately, his Heart power had reached the fourth level, making his state of mind stronger than most Emperors.

The momentary darkness from before was instantly swept away.

“Dao merging!” Jian Wushuang shook his head. He was still far from achieving unification. Considering the time in the cosmic realm, it had only been a few days since he had advanced from a Yan Immortal to a Grand Yan Immortal. Contemplating unification at this point was premature.

Since his breakthrough, he hadn’t had time to stabilize his realm. Either he was recovering his divine body or engaging in battles.

For now, he decided to use this opportunity to practice with this ghost at the Perfected Nine Revolutions level in front of him.

Perhaps, just as he imagined, he might really succeed. During this expedition to the Great Desolate Wilderness, he not only nearly died at the hands of Xiang Bingyun but also had all his treasures destroyed, including his divine sword, which was now in a sorry state.

People who didn’t know might assume that the divine sword was always like this!

Although the sword’s body was severely damaged, the source of the Sword Dao was intact.

The ghost’s fangs scraped against the divine sword, emitting an extremely unpleasant sound from the ghost’s mouth.

Jian Wushuang quickly retreated, barely stabilizing his figure while holding the sword upside down.

“Heartsword World!”

The fifth level of the Ultimate Sword Dao, it was Jian Wushuang’s most satisfying sword move to date.

This sword had once made the Nine Revolutionos Grand Yan Immortal Gu Yuan kneel and worship, and had even made Xiang Bingyun, who had attained the Perfected Nine Revolutions, tremble in fear.

Swish!

A vast world of swords descended from the void. Countless sword shadows imbued with Heart power, akin to hungry wolves, pounced on the ghost.

Hiss!

Countless sword shadows pierced through the ethereal bodies of the ghosts and monsters. Each time they passed through, the ghosts emitted sizzling black mist. This was the terror of heart power; once tainted, it could burn their souls.

These ghosts were originally soul entities. Jian Wushuang now understood why these ghosts were so afraid of Heart power.

No ghosts in the heart, no ghosts in the world.

The scope of the Heartsword World began to expand, directly encompassing everyone.

Jiu Yu turned around and looked backward, not paying attention to Jian

Wushuang’s involvement. After all, there were only a small number of weak ghosts behind, which could be handled by the few Nine Revolutions Grand Yan Immortals there.

He led dozens of Grand Yan Immortals, standing at the forefront. Most of the ghosts here were at the Nine Revolutions level, and even the Perfected Nine Revolutions ones were quite common.

The moment the projection of the Heartsword World descended, the ghosts suddenly took a step back involuntarily.

They had no consciousness, but the fear of Heart power was innate, a supreme rule set by the universe. Regardless of whether they had consciousness or not, any soul would fear Heart power..
