Chapter 552: Chapter 387: The Shock of Taiqing Daode Tianzun!_2
“Xuanqing, lad… how on earth did you achieve this?”
“It’s just my Divine Power, Grand Ancestor,” Xuanqing said with a wave of his hand, speaking offhandedly.
Upon hearing this.
The Taiqing Daode Tianzun nodded, his heart still filled with incredible shock. Yet, given the unfathomable vastness of the Endless Chaos, where the types of creatures were beyond measure.
In such circumstances, any kind of divine power could exist, and the one possessed by Xuanqing was indeed inconceivable.
“Having such a Divine Power, I am relieved,” said the Taiqing Daode Tianzun, stroking his beard.
“However, you should leave soon—the Primordial World… may not last much longer.”
The Taiqing Daode Tianzun spoke solemnly.
Although Xuanqing’s arrival had severely injured that commander’s minion of Gods and Devils, it did not mean that the Primordial World would survive.
Previously, the ten major Gods and Devils had their feuds, and even when attacking, they only appeared individually, necessitating only careful vigilance.
But for some unknown reason, the ten Gods and Devils, once hostile to each other, had now united.
Considering the Origin Power of the Primordial World… it probably could not hold on for long. It might even perish within a hundred years due to the depletion of its Origin Power.
This moment.
Hearing his Grand Ancestor instruct him to leave again, Xuanqing couldn’t help but speak, “Grand Ancestor, your disciple can create Ancient Archon Origin Power. Could it be possible to keep the Primordial World going for a bit longer?”
However, upon hearing this.
The Taiqing Daode Tianzun, while annihilating a group of little Gods and Devils, waved his hand helplessly and said:
“A good cook can’t cook without rice. The Primordial World’s incense has been exhausted. Even if you have the ability to create Origin Power, there is no incense for you to use it on!”
Umm…
Xuanqing was somewhat embarrassed.
After a moment of silence.
He said softly, “Well, Grand Ancestor, your disciple still has some surplus, enough to create some Ancient Archon Origin Power. It should allow the Primordial World to persist a little longer!”
No sooner had he spoken.
“There’s no need for that,”
The Taiqing Daode Tianzun, however, revealed a smile, appearing to have expected this response, yet not caring in the slightest.
Perhaps.
To him, if there were no major Gods and Devils, even if he knew Xuanqing had collected a high amount of incense, as long as it could save the Primordial World, what would it matter?
Others might have commitments to the Taoist sect due to incense relations, but they were ultimately not beings of the Primordial World and had no obligation to help for free.
As for now…
It was even less necessary. Even if he allowed his disciple from another realm to create some more Ancient Archon Origin Power, what would it matter? It would eventually be defeated under the joint assault of the ten major Gods and Devils.
“Just go. A little more time, a little less—it doesn’t make much of a difference. That is the fate of the Primordial World,”
The Taiqing Daode Tianzun waved his hand again, his voice tinged with sorrow.
Nevertheless.
Sorrowful as he was, his actions did not stop for a moment. His Duster continuously swept through the air, slaying group after group of little Gods and Devils.
At the same time, he was on the lookout for any of the ten major Gods and Devils disguised among them.
“Grand Ancestor, please hold on longer!”
Xuanqing’s expression was serious.
Then.
Without waiting for the Taiqing Daode Tianzun to respond, he continued to say, “Your disciple understands what you want to say, but… please consider, if your disciple were to self-destruct right now, he could injure that God or Devil from earlier.”
“If your disciple attains the realm of Chaos Immortal and then employs the Self-destruction Art, could he not kill that God or Devil from earlier?”
No sooner had he spoken!
Boom!
The Taiqing Daode Tianzun’s body trembled, and his heart became lively again.
Right, if his disciple attained the realm of Chaos Immortal and then self-destructed, even the most powerful heaven-defying Gods and Devils would probably not be able to escape unscathed.
If this were coupled with the assistance of the several other Great Sages, wouldn’t they have the opportunity to kill the Gods and Devils, to leave them no way out?
One must understand.
The current situation between the Primordial World and the ten major Gods and Devils was like a balance scale with equal weights on both sides.
Without external interference, the side with the six Great Sages would eventually be defeated due to the consumption of the Primordial World’s Origin Power.
But if Xuanqing were to intervene, the situation would be entirely different. It would be like adding a weight to an originally balanced scale, immediately tipping the odds in favor of the Primordial World.
“`
However,
all of this is on the premise that Xuanqing can break through the foundation and become a Chaos Immortal.
With Xuanqing’s current cultivation of half-step Chaos Immortal, even if he were to employ the Self-destruction Art, he could only manage to injure an entity ranked at the bottom of the top ten Gods and Devils.
Moreover, the reason why the commanding God or Devil suffered such injuries was solely because he did not react in time and did not defend or dodge.
Half-step Chaos Immortal, Chaos Immortal—though there seems to be just half a step between them, this half step represents two completely different heavens and earth.
The former is still bound by the world of creatures’ origin, while the latter can transcend the world and enter a much vaster heaven and earth, the Endless Chaos.
With this thought in mind,
Taiqing Daode Tianzun asked, “Xuanqing, although you possess exceptional talent and even the Bloodline of Father God, to prove the Dao and become a Chaos Immortal….”
Upon hearing this,
Xuanqing slightly pondered.
He quickly calculated in his heart.
According to the quantifier, the Time Ratio within the Endless Chaos is ‘one to one’ compared to the Real World.
If, as the Great Ancestor Teacher said, it takes several hundred years, or even just a hundred years, for the Primordial World to be breached, it means that he has at least a hundred years of Real World time.
Currently, his cultivation progress in the Swallow Heaven Saint Art’s final step, Body Transformation into the World. has reached sixty-seven percent.
Continuing on, it will take a little more than one year at most to elevate the cultivation progress to one hundred percent.
Of course,
the process of transforming into a Chaos Immortal and increasing the cultivation progress does not actually consume much time.
What consumes the most time is elevating the cultivation progress to one hundred percent and then undergoing the final metamorphosis.
“A hundred years of time… should be more than enough, and moreover…. as the Great Ancestor Teacher said, how long one can withstand depends on how much Origin is left in the Primordial World. In that case….”
Soon,
Xuanqing had an idea in his heart.
He then spoke, “Great Ancestor Teacher, your disciple is confident that he can break through to Chaos Immortal within a hundred years.”
“To be on the safe side, this disciple can further replenish some Origin for the Primordial World. By then… it should be foolproof.”
This declaration made Taiqing Daode Tianzun turn sorrow into joy.
“Very good, very good~”
A thrill filled Taiqing Daode Tianzun’s heart, and he repeated ‘very good’ thrice. After a long while, he finally calmed down.
Afterward,
he patted Xuanqing’s shoulder with a look of anticipation in his eyes and said solemnly, “Xuanqing, the safety of the Primordial World… is now entrusted to you!”
“Yes,”
Xuanqing nodded seriously and said, “Then please Great Ancestor Teacher hold on a little longer, your disciple will now go and make the breakthrough.”
As his words fell,
whoosh!
He plunged into the battlefield before him, his Qi suddenly bursting forth.
Accompanied by a ‘boom’, his entire body, God Soul, and True Spirit exploded, executing the Self-destruction Art once again.
“Damn it!”
Countless little demons were blown to death, and among them was actually another God or Devil preparing for a sneak attack, who was revealed by Xuanqing’s Self-destruction Art and had to turn into a wisp of black smoke to flee.
Seeing this scene,
Taiqing Daode Tianzun’s eyelids twitched slightly.
Even though he had just witnessed it, seeing Xuanqing employ the Self-destruction Art once more, he still found it hard to accept.
There are thousands of potent divine powers, but to use ‘self-explosion’ as a means of attack is indeed too bizarre for words.
“Let’s hope the young xuanqing really can save the Primordial World, only… by then, he will have to be called ‘Daoist Friend Xuanqing’ for life~”
Looking in the direction where Xuanqing disappeared, Taiqing Daode Tianzun remained silent for a long time.
…..
….
In the Primordial World,
After returning to Black Wind Mountain,
like before, he first gathered all his subordinates in the Dao Court’s martial practice field then flew up into the sky.
“Everyone, calm your minds and prepare to run your cultivation techniques!” Xuanqing, floating in the air, commanded in a clear voice.
