Chapter 593: True Technique Twenty-Eighth Layer Realm, The Path to Annihilation of God, Abyss Hell!_2
The Great Sun radiated endless light and heat. In an instant, the sky was clear of the crimson rain, which vanished like smoke and clouds. Countless beings within the Dragon Realm began poking their heads out, emerging from underground caves to see what had unfolded outside.
Among the curious crowd of observers, a select few cultivators piloted worn-out, creaky Flying Swords toward the direction of the Taoist.
As a genius cultivator who had successfully raised a Floating Island, the Pure Yang Taoist had always been highly regarded within the Dragon Realm, naturally amassing many loyal followers.
At that moment.
As the Taoist's footsteps touched solid ground, a sudden surge of thunder and wind erupted from the flat terrain.
Immediately, a ten-meter-square earthen platform rose from beneath his feet.
The Heavenly Wind howled furiously, sweeping up white grass, sands, and shards of stone, sending them swirling toward the sky.
The crowd watched as the ten-meter platform began to climb higher and higher as if swelling defiantly against the wind. In a blink, the towering platform swelled to a height of over a hundred meters.
The Taoist hovered midair, seemingly ascending step by step as though beneath his feet lay an invisible celestial staircase.
With each step he ascended, the earthen platform expanded precisely beneath his feet. As if guided by some enigmatic rhythm, he began climbing toward the heavens while loudly chanting:
"Take the drum and board, sit along the grand street, sing aloud;"
"Honorable comrades, lend me your ears and carefully listen:"
"Our Dragon Realm was once a boundless great realm;"
"....."
"One day, the Evil God arrived, slaughtering in all directions;"
"For survival, our comrades turned against one another in bloody terror;"
"....."
"In all matters below the heavens, fear lies in hesitation;"
"It is never impossible, acts of resolve must prevail."
The Taoist continued climbing step by step, his voice reverberating across the heavens and earth. As his solemn chant echoed, the earthen platform beneath his feet grew taller and faster — resolutely soaring towards the skies.
Quickly, the ground upon which the Taoist stood transformed into a towering mountain!
Nearer, ever closer.
The power of the magnetic field began swirling madly. The Taoist stood at an altitude that triggered the dangerous wrath of the Nine Layer Heavenly Tower's assault. As he took another step, there came a pause in midair.
Suddenly, he turned to deliver a gentle smile to the myriad beings of the Dragon Realm below.
"Today, this humble Taoist shall ascend for the sake of all beings within the Dragon Realm. I shall test whether, after the ancient cultivator battles of yore, the heavens themselves truly bleed!"
With the fall of his words, radiant purple flames began surging across his body!
That step fell heavily.
In an instant, the towering platform rose another three meters high, reaching the utmost limit permitted by the Nine Layer Heavenly Tower!
BOOM!
Countless streams of Flowing Fire erupted from within the Nine Layer Heavenly Tower, engulfing the Taoist's figure and the earthen platform beneath him, sweeping violently downward towards the land.
Faced with these flames as though divine punishment, the Taoist remained unflinching!
A sudden wild grin flashed within his eyes!
"Ha!"
"Kill! Kill! Kill! The heavens rise three feet, yet I shall rise thirty meters!"
"Even if you truly are a god, I swear I will strike you down today, you bastard!"
With a flip of his palm, a Mystic Blue Holy Spear appeared in his grasp. Against the terrifying fire dragon, the Taoist began surging upward, his aura unrelenting, as if intent to pierce through the heavens themselves.
In the blink of an eye, the Taoist's figure shattered the base of the Nine Layer Heavenly Tower, thrusting himself into its depths, disappearing from view.
At that moment, the fiery dragon swept downward, burning the earthen Heaven Ascending Platform completely to ashes and scattering them into the void.
The fire dragon raged with overwhelming might, carrying an unfathomable will of fury. It devoured the Heaven Ascending Platform piece by piece until finally its lingering wrath dissipated and vanished.
At this moment, within the Dragon Realm, myriad beings opened their eyes, gazing at where the Taoist's platform once stood — now replaced by a crystalline, scorched structure formed from the melted sands and stones, shining brightly under the heavenly light. Towering over five hundred meters, it stood like a stele, embedded deep into the land.
A witness, it seemed — a reminder to all, that today, atop this site, a Taoist ascended to wage war against the heavens!
The Heavenly Wind roared, the earth cracked open, and even Spirit Buddhas and Saint Scholars raised their heads to peer into the sky above.
No matter that some amongst them could not even glimpse the battles raging in the higher heavens.
Time passed unknowably, as Spirit Buddha and Saint Scholar observed, the Heavenly Tower suddenly collapsed floor by floor, until only the last layer ceased its disintegration.
In that moment, a powerful figure plummeted rapidly from the highest heavens!
Accompanying him was a Holy Halberd stained with golden blood!
"Audacious! A mere ant dares defy the heavens, disrupting my cultivation and enlightening sanctity. Do you comprehend how long I have awaited this breakthrough? Your death is inevitable!"
From high above, an enraged voice rang out as a giant clad in golden armor and crowned with a Golden Crown suddenly emerged, imbued with a destructively overwhelming aura that made hearts tremble!
"Ha-ha! Pretentious fool! I've always said creatures like you, acting as divine imposters, would show your weakness eventually. So, tell me, you bleed after all, don't you?"
BOOM!
The Taoist cursed aloud while vomiting chunks of mangled flesh, crashing heavily from the heavens!
"Scum! You are doomed to perish!"
"Those who defy god shall face the Infinite Tribulations. Annihilation awaits you under my Extinction Calamity Palm!"
From above, the golden-armored giant, eyes blazing with wrathful thunder, unleashed a colossal golden palm that blotted out millions of kilometers, smashing downward!
"Yi Chunyang! Flee quickly; you've defiled us all and sealed our fate!"
Witnessing the scene, Spirit Buddha and Saint Scholar couldn't help but feel horrified. Sharing a glance, they leapt furiously from the Floating Island and charged towards the skies!
Under their frantic interception, the golden palm's descent momentarily faltered, though the pair could not withstand the overbearing force, coughing blood as they plummeted downward.
Their figures flickered madly, narrowly escaping the range of the golden palm's terrible grasp.
Yet, as they steadied themselves, the sight that greeted them made their eyes burn with fury!
From the heavens, a grand True Yang Spirit once again blazed brightly into existence!
"Yi Chunyang, have you lost your mind? How many times have we informed you of the route for escape?"
"If only you teleport to the Abyssal Expanse that Spirit Buddha and I have safeguarded for over ten millennia, even the Heavenly Tower's master would never find us so easily!"
"I've told you again and again, the destined time hasn't come yet. Flee now, and we still have a chance. Is this madness of yours fairness to us?"
Spirit Buddha and Saint Scholar bellowed furiously!
Responding to them was a quiet whisper from the Taoist, echoing within their hearts, 'Apologies, my dear friends, but I still wish to try!'
'I am not as noble as you imagine, because—my True Technique has truly reached its end, and I… I genuinely have no future left to forge!'
Within the Divine Soul Core, the Taoist's crimson eyes gleamed murderously, the final flicker of clarity in his gaze silently extinguishing. His hair transformed instantly from jet-black to pure, snow-white.
Grasping the halberd, he steadied himself, his form soaring skyward once more, furiously squeezing every ounce of his potential to break the limit — driving the Magnetic Field Dao Fruit to ascend higher!
"Magnetic Field! Spin!"
"Move faster for me, damn it, faster!"
"Higher! Faster! Stronger! Today I must utterly destroy this bastard!"
The Taoist had long reached the Celestial Being's Limit along his path of the magnetic field.
His strength, previously calculated at three hundred thousand, had been pushed to its utmost boundary. As he forced it to reach nine hundred and ninety-nine thousand, a moment of revelation struck him!
The Magnetic Field Dao Fruit could advance no further.
Even the slightest power increase would overload his Cultivation Body, triggering a complete explosion.
If he survived until his powers surpassed one million, the Magnetic Field Dao Fruit would undergo elevation!
BOOM!
The golden palm suddenly halted, seemingly repelled a hundred meters higher. At that moment, the Taoist detonated!
A ray of Primordial Spirit Radiance swept through, reconstructing the Taoist, who then performed once more, roaring ferociously!
"Heavenly Opening! Heavenly Opening!"
"Damn this magnetic field; spin harder for me!"
BOOM!
After the third cycle of Primordial Spirit Radiance, the Taoist, bathed in blood, soared again. This time, he had nothing left for another resurgence!
Yet he still refused to retreat, his figure hurling itself into the sky once more!
In the face of mortal peril, as his strength overloaded and his Cultivation Body teetered on the brink of explosion, an epiphany emerged within the Taoist's mind.
With a sudden twist of the halberd in hand, the Pure Yang Saint Halberd's Heavenly Opening Technique transformed radically, becoming a mysterious and profound strike!
"I have… understood! This world holds no bounds; I will enter Abyss Hell just to obliterate this bastard! Abyss Hell!"
