Chapter 512 - 446: One Man Holds the Pass

However, he used the Asura Battle Banner as a medium.

He continuously channeled the Emperor Corpse Evil Qi seeping from Qing Mountain to construct the Asura Emperor’s Asura Dao Aspect. The two merged into one, and he felt an unprecedentedly vast power!

Unrivaled beneath the realm of Great Emperors!

As long as the Emperor Corpse remained, he would not fall!

VMM!!

The moment the attacks from the Ten Directions came, the towering, ten-armed Asura shadow that Wu Dao had constructed by integrating the Emperor Corpse Evil Qi abruptly opened its massive, black-hole-like eyes. It cracked its neck, looked toward Ming Ao, and a savage, cruel smile spread across its lips.

CLANG CLANG CLANG—

The instant the ten-armed Asura locked onto him, alarm bells screamed in Ming Ao’s mind. He felt an indescribable, heavy pressure, but he suppressed it. Unparalleled in his bravery, he clenched his fist and roared,

"The world says the Extreme Saint Body can contend with a Great Emperor! Today, that legend will become reality! I will use you to prove my path of invincibility! Ancestral Dragon Fist!!!"

BOOM—RUMBLE RUMBLE!

ROAR ROAR ROAR—

The darkness shattered, and the universe quaked!

Amidst a dragon’s cry that seemed to shatter the Law of Order, Ming Ao unleashed the Absolute Peak combat power of his Extreme Saint Body. A torrent of golden holy light erupted from his Heavenly Spirit Cover, piercing through the Grand Cosmos. His right fist transformed into an Ancient Fierce Dragon roaring through the universe as he delivered an incomparably brilliant strike!

The Ancestral Dragon Fist of the Candle Dragon Race!

Its power was peerless, mimicking the Big Bang of the cosmos!

Wu Dao’s eyes narrowed slightly.

’The Extreme Saint Body is certainly no pushover.’

’Without great fortune and great Creation, one could never reach this stage!’

Ming Ao had mastered this Mountain and Sea Strongest Body Technique Divine Technique. He must have trained at Shanhai Pass, hunting down a Celestial Pride of the Candle Dragon Race to obtain and master this Divine Technique.

’Unfortunately...’

’If Ming Ao had advanced equally in all three paths, he would indeed have the ability to fight a Great Emperor. I would have turned and left without a moment’s hesitation.’

’But in the end, he has only perfected a single path!’

ROAR ROAR ROAR—BOOM!!

The Ancestral Dragon Fist was thrown, and a singularity exploded!

Endless light and heat illuminated the Grand Cosmos!

Ming Ao had clearly mastered the Ancestral Dragon Fist. With one punch, he unleashed a torrent of mass and Energy that transformed into an Ancestral Candle Dragon, charging toward the ten-armed Asura Emperor Shadow. The resulting shockwave from the exploding field of power caused many Peak Quasi-Emperors to pale and halt in their tracks!

This one punch!

It was infinitely close to the power of a Great Emperor!

It displayed the peak state of the Extreme Saint Body. His physical body was completely unsealed, and the destructive beams of light erupting from his pores pierced through the layers of the Profound Celestial Infinite Seal that enveloped the Fallen God Grand Cosmos!

His Battle Intent was so strong it nearly tore its way into the outer realms!

But even a punch as overwhelmingly powerful as this one, in less than a hundred-millionth of a second, the ten-armed Asura Emperor Shadow reached out, clenched its fist, and met the Ancestral Dragon Fist with an all-suppressing Emperor’s Fist!

CLANG—BOOM!

The sound of clashing Divine Iron, a sound that transcended the limits of a Quasi-Emperor’s perception, exploded outward!

It was like two singularities colliding and detonating!

In the shortest possible time, a torrent of incomparably brilliant and blazing energy and matter burst outward, blanketing the darkness of the Ten Directions with high-energy radiation. Everything in its path shattered and collapsed like glass, blasting open hundreds of millions of black-hole-like rifts!

"AHH!!"

In less than the time it took for a thought to form, a tragic, hoarse cry replaced the sound of the great explosion!

Ming Ao paid the price for his arrogance. His right arm and half his body were blasted into a mist of golden blood by that single punch. The Cosmic Dragon Vein coiling around him nearly snapped!

A bloody lesson!

It proved he was not yet worthy. He was no match even for a Great Emperor’s remnant will!

THUMP THUMP THUMP!!

The universe continued to shake and tremble!

After nearly killing Ming Ao in a single blow, Wu Dao did not press his advantage. He directed the towering, ten-armed Asura to clench its ten fists and bombard the Emperor’s Tomb on Qing Mountain below.

He could sense the existence of the Asura Emperor’s Dao Fruit. If he could shatter the field barrier within Qing Mountain, he could take it. He couldn’t afford to delay any longer!

’Borrowed power is, after all, just borrowed power.’

’Once the Emperor Corpse Evil Qi is depleted, it will vanish!’

His own foundation was insufficient to fully control the Magnetic Field of the Emperor Corpse Evil Qi. If he could master the Primordial Magnetism Path to wield this power, killing Ming Ao in an instant would be laughably easy!

"You bastard! I’ll swallow you whole!!"

Ming Ao, who had been on the brink of death just a moment ago, recovered instantly. He displayed the terrifying Life Force of the Extreme Saint Body and, like an unkillable cockroach, charged at Wu Dao once more!

He was a Peak Quasi-Emperor!

A grand being of the Extreme Saint Body lineage!

Yet today, he had suffered repeated setbacks at the hands of a mere ant-like Great Venerable. He was being looked down upon and toyed with like a bedbug, and the humiliation festering in his heart was driving him mad!

RUMBLE RUMBLE—

And it wasn’t just Ming Ao! The Peak Quasi-Emperors from the Human World were also going berserk. They weren’t just spectators, and they certainly weren’t dead. They joined forces with Ming Ao, launching a combined assault to destroy the ten-armed Asura shadow on the spot!

"Destroy the Asura first!"

Jin Yang, leading the Peak Quasi-Emperors of the Infinite Daoist Palace, also charged forward. The ten-armed Asura was an Incarnation of a Great Emperor’s remnant will. It was the Strongest and had the ability to claim the Creation in the Emperor’s Tomb for itself. It had to be killed first!

RUMBLE RUMBLE!!

Immortal Light and Nether Qi flooded the Grand Cosmos!

In an instant, Wu Dao faced an unprecedented siege. Nearly a hundred Peak Quasi-Emperors were ganging up on him alone. Even the ten-armed Asura shadow was struggling to hold its own against such numbers!

All sorts of Big Killing Artifacts and Divine Techniques blazed brilliantly. If not for the Profound Celestial Infinite Seal, the already-battered Fallen God Grand Cosmos would have been instantly torn to shreds!

VMM VMM VMM—

Inside the ten-armed Asura shadow! An endless, oppressive field of power hammered in from the outside. Without the protection of the Holy Spirit Emperor’s Plate, Wu Dao would have been instantly blasted to ash!

"You are all truly courting death!!"

RUMBLE RUMBLE—

Under the relentless assault, Wu Dao’s gaze turned as cold as eternal ice. He unleashed the Divine No Evil Lotus to envelop the Asura Battle Banner, causing the amount of Emperor Corpse Evil Qi he was channeling to surge by several thousand times!

’They don’t know the difference between life and death?’

’Then I’ll give them a slaughter to remember!’

...

ROAR ROAR ROAR—

As Wu Dao unleashed the Divine No Evil Lotus, the Asura Battle Banner, an Emperor’s Weapon, revived to the brink of a Great Emperor’s power. Countless Asuras roared, shaking the Grand Cosmos. The battle banner transformed into a massive vortex, greedily devouring the Emperor Corpse Evil Qi, and the ten-armed Asura shadow began to solidify!

GLUG GLUG GLUG~

A terrifying scene unfolded! Filthy, pitch-black corpse fluid began to ooze from the Emperor’s Tomb on Qing Mountain. The Great Emperor’s corpse fluid, like a gelatinous substance, covered the entire Emperor’s Tomb before being guided by the Asura Battle Banner to converge into the ten-armed Asura shadow!

The ten-armed Asura, once ethereal as smoke and mist, was now supplied by the corpse fluid! From its feet to its head, it gradually reconstructed its flesh and bones. It was shrouded in the dark, black light of the Nether Ancient era, and its potent Emperor’s Might climbed exponentially, as if it were about to come fully to life!

"This is bad!!"

The closest Peak Quasi-Emperor from the Qingming World felt a horrifying chill the instant the ten-armed Asura began to transform. A cold dread shot up from his tailbone to his Heavenly Spirit Cover. Without a second thought, he tried to flee!

But Wu Dao was faster!

’I’m getting annoyed. These bastards won’t know pain until they die. I have to slaughter them to create a deterrent!’

BOOM!!

The Asura Killing Fist rose!

It carried the weight of an endless Abyss!

It instantly hammered the fleeing Quasi-Emperor to death in the darkness. His Proto-Cosmos exploded, erupting in a vast rain of blood and light. Nothing was left. He didn’t even have a chance for a final struggle!

A Peak Quasi-Emperor!

A being powerful enough to suppress the fortune of an entire major clan in the current era, who once had a legendary life roaming the All Heavens, an existence looked up to by countless people!

With just one punch!

He was swatted dead like a fly!

This bloody and extremely cruel scene instantly stunned most of the Quasi-Emperors present. They finally understood what it meant that an Emperor could not be humiliated!

Even if it was just a Great Emperor’s remnant will, once it was revived under someone’s control and transformed into the Power of Slaughter, it created a near-hopeless disparity in strength. It was not something they could contend with!

But there were exceptions!

"Dust to dust, ashes to ashes. The dead are dead. Only the living can be called invincible... I will kill you to achieve my Attainment Dao!"

Ming Ao’s spirit was world-shaking. He possessed an invincible conviction. His Extreme Saint Body was nigh Immortal and Undying; no matter how severe his injuries, he would recover in an instant, and he continued to fight wildly, bathed in blood!

He sensed the opportunity for a breakthrough that had eluded him for a thousand years. He wanted to use this exhilarating, extreme battle to force himself to the Limit!

He would fight a Great Emperor’s Divine Thought to solidify his path of invincibility, break his shackles, evolve into a Chaos Body, and complete the transformative leap of his own Dao!

"Hahaha! You want to use me as a stepping stone? Very well, I’ll grant your wish!"

Wu Dao’s powerful, domineering voice thundered through the universe. He admired Ming Ao’s spirit of seeking life from death and breaking through his limits, but that didn’t lessen his killing intent!

’So what if I’m borrowing power?’

’Borrowed power, main power—it’s all power!’

If he were at Ming Ao’s level, he wouldn’t even give him the chance to spout such arrogant nonsense!

"Kill!"

"I’ll shatter you!"

THUMP THUMP THUMP—

In the span of a thought, an even more brutal battle erupted. Some Peak Quasi-Emperors, seeing the situation turn bad, started slacking off and feigning effort, but Extreme Quasi-Emperors on the level of Jin Yang and Ming Ao were still fighting with everything they had!

But to call it a great battle was less accurate than calling it a one-sided slaughter!
