Chapter 509 - 445: [Rude Thing]

"Heh. A desperate struggle!"

Outside the breach in the Emperor’s Tomb.

Ming Ao stood like a Chaos God-Demon, his eyes like two spinning crimson Little Cosmoses. He instantly locked onto Wu Dao as he fled, realizing he had just struck a mere Space-Time Mirror Image!

DANG DANG DANG—BOOM!!

His arms, like Divine Pillars, shot out.

He grabbed both sides of the breach in the Asura Emperor’s Tomb!

With a savage grin, Ming Ao unleashed his power. An endless, mighty force erupted, and he forcibly tore the Emperor’s Tomb—forged from top-tier Divine Gold and connected to various Deadly Forbidden Domains—to shreds!

The information Wu Dao had received was correct!

Ming Ao was a Quasi-Emperor from the Human World whose Transverse Cultivation had reached the Great Perfection of the Three Steps of the Saint Body. He was only half a step away from attaining Emperorship through his physical body and forging a Chaos Body!

The path of Transverse Cultivation was the most difficult of all Daos!

But it was also universally acknowledged as supreme in battle!

It was said that a cultivator at the Great Perfection of the Three Steps of the Saint Body could challenge a Great Emperor and could not be killed by one!

Of course.

All are but ants before a Great Emperor.

To challenge a superior foe, one’s Soul Cultivation and Divine Techniques must also reach Quasi-Emperor Perfection. Transverse Cultivation alone was not enough!

Such an existence.

Could only be found in a monster-breeding ground like Shanhai Pass.

They were exceedingly rare in the outside world.

Ming Ao was a pure Horizontal Refiner; he had not advanced in all three paths simultaneously.

But even so, his achievement of the Great Perfection of the Three Steps of the Saint Body was enough to allow him to reach the peak combat power of a Quasi-Emperor. This was why the other Quasi-Emperors from the Human World trusted him enough to buy him time!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!!

The Emperor’s Tomb continuously exploded into Chaos!

"Run along, little bug!"

Ming Ao’s towering, god-and-demon-like physique was like the Hulk in a refugee camp, rampaging and demolishing everything in his path. He relentlessly pursued Wu Dao, a veritable King Yama come to claim his life.

’But he was furious!’

’This bug before him was pitifully weak, yet he was protected by Emperor Material and possessed an illogical Space-Time Jump technique that was even more absurd than the All Heaven Great Escape!’

’It rendered his overwhelming strength useless.’

’Every time, he only managed to hit a Space-Time Mirror Image. All he could do was eat Wu Dao’s dust, and it drove him to the brink of madness!’

BOOM!!

Another unbelievably immense fist came crashing down!

The layers of space-time within the Emperor’s Tomb instantly exploded into Chaos, then were ground into a vacuum by the sheer Fist Force!

VMM!

But before the fist landed!

Wu Dao converted the sympathetic resonance of the field’s microscopic particles into a traction force, using the Magnetic Field like a slingshot to launch himself forward at incredible speed.

He was like a particle drawn to a giant magnet. The moment he entered a large field, he would instantly cross it, ignoring the distance entirely. He moved so fast that all Ming Ao could do was watch in frustration.

’Little bug?’

Hearing Ming Ao’s chilling, contemptuous voice.

Wu Dao’s gaze turned cold. He rapidly processed the information from the Magnetic Field ahead, constructing a model of it within his Divine Sea.

’A Great Emperor’s tomb!’

’Of course it wouldn’t only have those flimsy Grand Arrays on the perimeter, which were no better than rotten wood. The closer one got to the core, the more terrifying the defenses would be!’

As a master of the Primordial Magnetism Path, Wu Dao could vibrate the Dao Particles to easily light the fuse for these defenses—a feat that would leave even top-tier Celestial Masters who were experts in Arrays far behind.

VMM!

In the span of a single thought.

Wu Dao plunged into a deadly domain capable of threatening even a Peak Quasi-Emperor.

Every inch of space-time...

...was filled with spiderweb-like filaments.

The moment his perception touched these filaments, it was instantly shredded by their vibrations. Their sharpness was simply heaven-defying!

"You damned bug!"

An enraged roar echoed from behind him.

Having missed his target again and again, the fury in Ming Ao’s heart was slowly ignited. His movements were wide and sweeping, their destructive power astonishing. He was like a cosmic Fierce Beast on a rampage, and in the next instant, he had charged into the domain.

"Idiot!"

Wu Dao’s voice was indifferent, as if he were looking at a brainless animal. As he spoke, he manipulated the domain’s field, weaving through the filaments with ease.

"You damn mongrel! Is running all you know how to do?"

Ming Ao was incandescent with rage.

He still chose to charge straight through!

’He could clearly see how dangerous this domain was, but so what? With the Great Perfection of the Three Steps of the Saint Body, his tenacious Life Force, and his indomitable physique, he feared nothing beneath the level of a Great Emperor!’

But just as he charged into the domain!

BOOM!!

Wu Dao vibrated the Dao Particles and lit the fuse. The domain instantly went berserk. Countless black filaments came alive, writhing and twisting as they moved to cut through everything in existence and ensnare Ming Ao.

SSSZZZT—

These black filaments were absurdly powerful!

Even with Ming Ao’s body at the Great Perfection of the Three Steps of the Saint Body, the instant the filaments made contact, countless cuts appeared all over his flesh!

"GET LOST!!"

RUMBLE—

But Ming Ao’s physique was astoundingly resilient!

His boundless blood and qi rolled like a condensed golden Star Sea. The roar of an Ancestral Dragon Vein echoed from his pores as his Little Cosmos unleashed its power, spewing out countless streams of destruction that snapped all the entangling black filaments!

However, in that brief delay.

Wu Dao had already vanished from the far end of the domain. It enraged Ming Ao so much he looked ready to burst. Tearing through the swarming black filaments like they were spiderwebs, he didn’t dare to pause for even a second.

’The Human World’s foundation was strong, yes, but it was nothing compared to the Immortal Dao of the Qingming World. Once the blockade outside was breached, all their efforts would likely be for naught!’

Ming Ao was anxious.

But Wu Dao was under no less pressure.

’Compared to both the Human World and the Qingming World, my current Power is far from presentable. And I have to snatch the Emperor’s Weapon from right under the noses of these two behemoths!’

Therefore!

He didn’t dare to linger for even a single moment!

He continuously detonated the domains in his path to hinder Ming Ao and buy himself time, all while trying to sense the elusive location of the Emperor’s Tomb’s core.

’Found it!’

After detonating yet another domain.

Wu Dao’s expression shifted. In the dark depths in a certain direction, he sensed a destructive Magnetic Field unique to an Emperor’s Weapon—an Extreme Dao field!

’It’s dormant!’

’But it’s still so unbelievably magnificent and vast!’

’It’s like a dark Little Cosmos submerged in space-time. Once its Mighty Power awakens, it will unleash an infinite Power of Destruction!’
