Unrivaled Comprehension: From Mortal to Immortal King

Bai Yunfei unleashed the Ascension Sutra, soaring skyward with a burst of Dao radiance, charging directly at Changsun Yu, who stood in the void.

With the power of the Ascension Sutra, he seemed like the master of the Great Dao, his aura surging violently, his life essence vast as an ocean, overshadowing half the sky. This caused Changsun Yu's expression to shift slightly. No longer underestimating him, a cold gleam flickered in his eyes as he shouted, "I will never let history repeat itself!"

Boom!!!

Changsun Yu performed a secret technique, his hands tracing patterns in the air. Daoist runes emerged in the sky, emanating a dreadful aura that sent chills down one's spine—a force of utter destruction, wild and terrifying!

The intertwining Dao runes condensed into a massive jet-black claw, covering the sky. Spanning over a hundred meters, it was unimaginably fearsome.

Simultaneously, lightning crackled, flashing violently, completely enveloping Bai Yunfei.

"Crack!"

Bolts of lightning streaked across the sky, weaving between the massive claw, striking downward with devastating power.

This was a secret art of the Supreme Dao Sect—the Thunderclaw, swift and domineering.

The colossal claw loomed over the heavens, suppressing everything. Its sheer force made it hard to breathe.

Yet Bai Yunfei remained fearless. An endless radiance of Dao surged around him, soaring into the sky. With a mere lift of his hand, blinding light swept across the land, resisting the lightning's assault.

At that moment, he seemed like a celestial king overlooking the mortal world. The Dao light radiating from his body was boundless, blotting out the sky.

"Ascension!"

Facing the attack calmly, Bai Yunfei's right fist, infused with Dao light, surged upward. His fist no longer seemed of flesh and blood but rather a manifestation of pure Dao, glowing with divine radiance.

Boom!

His fist soared skyward, instantly shattering the massive claw. The explosion illuminated half the sky with electric brilliance.

Bai Yunfei's punch carried unparalleled destructive force. His Dao-infused light was indestructible, and in an instant, he shattered one of Changsun Yu's arms.

Blood splattered in the void, transforming into radiant fragments. Changsun Yu let out a pained scream as he was blasted backward.

"Impossible…"

Shock overwhelmed Changsun Yu. Words could not describe his disbelief.

At this moment, memories of a battle from over a century ago surfaced in his mind.

His elder brother had once fought Zhou Sheng, a Seventh Restriction cultivator, while wielding the power of the Eighth Restriction.

Back then, just like now, when the Ascension Sutra was activated, his genius brother had stood no chance.

"No… No… I won't let this happen again!"

Changsun Yu roared, his disheveled white hair dancing wildly. Power surged within him, and under the gaze of countless spectators, his severed arm miraculously regenerated.

This was the power of an Eighth Restriction Dao Patriarch—the ability to regenerate flesh and limbs.

The moment his arm was restored, Changsun Yu wasted no time. His hands moved swiftly, as if lifting a great mountain. A terrifying aura erupted from within him, like a raging tidal wave crashing against the heavens.

Boom!!!

As he gestured, a colossal mountain emerged behind him, exuding an oppressive force beyond description. Its sheer presence radiated boundless pressure!

"Mountain Suppression Seal!"

The disciples of the Supreme Dao Sect cried out in shock.

This was one of their sect's ultimate techniques, capable of manifesting a mountain using one's own power to crush all enemies.

The manifested mountain released tidal waves of overwhelming energy, incomparably heavy, causing the very void beneath it to collapse!

"Suppress!"

With a thunderous roar, Changsun Yu slammed his hands down, and the Mountain Suppression Seal descended with unstoppable force!

A towering peak came crashing down, its sheer magnitude enough to shatter souls. Even the spectators could barely withstand its crushing presence, suffocated by its oppressive weight.

Many of the young disciples of the Supreme Dao Sect collapsed to the ground instantly. The immense pressure was like an ancient demon mountain bearing down on them, rendering them powerless.

Inside the Scripture Pavilion, Wen Xinyun and the other two struggled under the pressure, but they did not kneel, thanks to Lin Jiufeng standing in front of them, shielding most of the force.

However, Lin Jiufeng deliberately allowed a portion of the pressure to leak through, forcing them to endure it as training.

Watching the battle intently, Lin Jiufeng gained newfound understanding.

From the Sixth Restriction onward, each level was a world apart. A single breakthrough was like stepping into another dimension.

Even though the Eighth Restriction Patriarch's full might wasn't aimed at him, Lin Jiufeng had to resist with everything he had.

The disparity was overwhelming. The difference in comprehension of the Dao and the self between the Sixth and Eighth Restrictions was insurmountable.

Fortunately, Lin Jiufeng possessed the strength of one hundred dragons and one hundred elephants, allowing him to remain standing.

On the Supreme Dao Sect's side, Sixth Restriction cultivators knelt under the pressure, struggling desperately, their faces flushed and veins bulging.

Only Elder Qingshan, a Seventh Restriction expert, remained standing, but even he was struggling, resisting with all his might.

Above the heavens, Bai Yunfei gazed at the descending Mountain Suppression Seal.

His eyes glowed with Dao radiance as the Ascension Sutra surfaced in his mind, allowing him to perceive the true essence of the Mountain Suppression Seal.

In the next moment, an epiphany struck Bai Yunfei.

His hands moved in a fluid motion, radiating an equally terrifying aura.

Above his head, another colossal mountain emerged, appearing as though it had traversed from an ancient world, breaking through space and time, exuding an air of boundless majesty.

Another Mountain Suppression Seal?!

Were they going to use the same technique against each other?!

Onlookers were stunned, their bodies trembling involuntarily.

Even Elder Qingshan, who had barely managed to stay standing earlier, now found his back bending under the increasing pressure, his face turning crimson.

Only Lin Jiufeng remained firm. In his eyes, a mystical white carp swam slowly, exuding an unfathomable aura, shielding him from the devastating force.

At that moment, Lin Jiufeng truly understood what people meant by "When gods fight, mortals suffer."

But in the sky, the battle between Bai Yunfei and Changsun Yu had reached its climax.

The Mountain Suppression Seal continued descending, its momentum unstoppable.

Yet Bai Yunfei's manifested mountain was equally formidable—like a dragon rising from the sea, like a pillar supporting the sky.

The grand, ancient mountain hovered above Bai Yunfei, as if he were carrying the firmament upon his back.

At that moment, powerful energy surged from him like a roaring river, sweeping across all directions!

Above him, the towering mountain stood, waterfalls cascading down its slopes, ancient trees reaching skyward, birds soaring and beasts roaming—its details remarkably vivid!

"Mountain Suppression Seal!" Bai Yunfei roared, lifting his hands skyward. The immense mountain erupted forth like a caged sea bursting free, shattering the skies!

Mountain Suppression Seal vs. Mountain Suppression Seal.

Boom!!!

The heavens crumbled, storms raged wildly.

The two manifested mountains collided, unleashing a cataclysmic force that felt like the apocalypse.

A deafening explosion echoed as the impact shattered the first Mountain Suppression Seal, its energy dispersing across the world in a terrifying shockwave.

Changsun Yu's Mountain Suppression Seal was utterly defeated.

Bai Yunfei's Mountain Suppression Seal remained intact, its immense pressure crashing down toward Changsun Yu.

"No…!"

Changsun Yu panicked and fled without hesitation.

Fearing history repeating itself, he turned into a streak of light and bolted away, shouting, "Qingshan, kill the other disciples of the Ascension Sect!"

This was his last attempt to distract Bai Yunfei.

Elder Qingshan received the order and flew toward the Scripture Pavilion.

Just as Bai Yunfei hesitated between pursuing or protecting his sect, Lin Jiufeng stepped forward.

"Junior Brother, keep chasing him and end this. Leave the Ascension Sect to me!"

Trusting Lin Jiufeng completely, Bai Yunfei didn't hesitate anymore and sped off in pursuit of Changsun Yu.

At the Ascension Sect's Scripture Pavilion, Elder Qingshan arrived, now facing Lin Jiufeng head-on.
