Chapter 1175 - 1174: Heavenly Dao Puppet, Reinforcements Arrive from All Sides

Chapter 1175: Chapter 1174: Heavenly Dao Puppet, Reinforcements Arrive from All Sides

The power of the Divine exploded in an instant.

At this moment, Ye Chen wasn’t thinking about anything. He was conscious, but his sword-wielding strike was entirely instinctual.

This instinct didn’t originate from his body but rather from the divine nature itself.

The angle, arc, speed, and every bit of force behind this slash seemed to have been honed countless times, perfect beyond criticism!

In other words, Ye Chen’s body executed this action, and while his consciousness could fully see it, he completely couldn’t comprehend the profoundness of this sword strike.

The only thing he could perceive was strength!

Even stronger than Xu Tiandao’s full divine blast.

"Swish!"

The edge of the sword fell upon the surface of the Celestial Dao Cage.

Everything around him, at that moment, seemed to freeze, solidify, losing all change completely.

Then.

Vast and overwhelming forces erupted from the point where the sword touched the Celestial Dao Cage.

With divine power, Ye Chen ignored the storm’s impact. Under his conscious control, he raised the sword-wielding hand once more and, guided by divine instinct, slashed a second perfect, explosive strike like the first.

This strike landed at the same spot as before.

"Crack!"

A crisp sound echoed.

A crack appeared on the surface of the Celestial Dao Cage.

In Ye Chen’s eyes, intense excitement emerged as he raised the sword again, delivering a third slash.

In the blink of an eye.

A fourth slash.

A fifth slash.

The sixth slash...

He struck more than a dozen times.

The cracks on the surface of the Celestial Dao Cage continued to widen.

Finally, after another strike fell.

"Kacha!"

The crack was torn open, a palm-width in size.

At that moment.

Ye Chen’s gaze pierced through the crack, capturing a figure.

It was a woman of unrivaled beauty with white hair, whose gentle expression and eyes revealed a complex array of emotions, as she too looked at Ye Chen.

In Ye Chen’s heart.

A surge of powerful emotion erupted.

His voice trembled slightly, "Mother... your child is unfilial, only now... coming to get you!"

As he spoke.

Ye Chen once again raised his sword, intending to completely shatter the Celestial Dao Cage!

But then.

The surface of the Celestial Dao Cage rippled with a light akin to ripples.

A terrible will descended!

This... was the will of the Heavenly Dao!

The descent of the Heavenly Dao’s will caused everything around to be locked in place.

In that moment.

A fist imprint struck hard, shaking the stillness imposed by the Heavenly Dao’s will, allowing everything to return to normal.

Ye Chen regained his mobility.

In his heart, there remained a trace of fear.

In that instant, even with divine power upon him, he felt the insignificance of his being.

In his eyes, there was a strong sense of unwillingness.

So close, he almost succeeded... Once the Heavenly Dao’s will descended, the hard-won breach in the Celestial Dao Cage closed once more!

"If it can be done once, it can be done a second time."

A voice that brought Ye Chen a sense of security resounded.

Ye Chen followed the voice with his eyes.

An elderly figure with white hair appeared in his line of sight.

"Old... teacher!"

Ye Chen’s voice choked with emotion.

He never expected that today, his teacher Yang Tianji would appear!

If Yang Tianji hadn’t arrived to shake the Heavenly Dao’s will, just now... Ye Chen thought, even with divine empowerment, he was on the brink of doom.

Yang Tianji, the one who guided Ye Chen into the unity of spirit and martial arts.

Likewise, his body carried countless secrets.

When Yang Tianji first appeared in front of Ye Chen at the Celestial Burial Sea, he was already able to pummel Tong Dabao. Now, Yang Tianji could even shake the will of the Heavenly Dao; this power was already on par with Xu Tiandao, who had become a god!

Yang Tianji didn’t turn to look at Ye Chen. His eyes were fixed upon the vortex in the sky, intertwined with the force of the Heavenly Dao, and said: "The Heavenly Dao’s will continues to strengthen, so hurry up."

After speaking.

Yang Tianji’s body rushed towards the Celestial Dao Vortex, his fists moving, roaring with violent power.

Within the Celestial Dao Vortex, beams of destructive light shot out, seeking to annihilate Yang Tianji!

Ye Chen took a deep breath.

Once again, he raised the sword in his hand.

He was aware of his body veering towards a critical state, a sign his body could no longer endure the divine power.

Yet, Ye Chen did not hesitate or delay, continuing as he had before, slashing relentlessly at the Celestial Dao Cage, making it tremble non-stop.

At this moment.

Severely injured, Xu Tiandao reemerged from the void and directly aligned with Yang Tianji, battling the ever-strengthening will of the Heavenly Dao!

"Mere ants, daring to challenge the might of the Heavenly Dao, you shall all perish!"

The roaring voice of Heavenly Dao’s will resounded, deafening.

Suddenly, several figures shot out from the terrifying vortex.

These figures had no thoughts, their expressions vacant.

But without exception, they were all immensely powerful, each possessing divine-level strength.

"These are Heavenly Dao Puppets, be cautious!"

Yang Tianji bellowed, his fists launched, and the light of the sun and moon appeared. Though he had merged his previous body and memory, what he used was still the Divine Sun and Moon Art created in the Cangxing Martial Arts Academy’s spiritual martial arts department!

Two Heavenly Dao Puppets were blasted away by Yang Tianji.

Xu Tiandao transformed into a blade, the sheen dazzling, also blocking two Heavenly Dao Puppets.

However.

Three Heavenly Dao Puppets remained, charging toward Ye Chen.

Ye Chen swung his sword, continuously slashing at the Celestial Dao Cage. He had no intention of dealing with anything else, as any distraction would undo all his previous effort, and he couldn’t sustain another try; his mortal body bearing divine might was nearly at its limit!

As the three Heavenly Dao Puppets’ power was about to impact Ye Chen.

Suddenly.

A blue sword light, like a vast ocean, swept over.

Within the sword light.

A graceful figure, long hair draping over shoulders, a long blue gauze dress fluttering.

It was... Luo Qingyi!

Luo Qingyi transformed into a sword, and with a swish, struck a Heavenly Dao Puppet flying.

Then.

A colossal dragon’s roar echoed.

A true dragon, over a thousand meters long, surged out from the void, each scale radiating dazzling light, the dragon’s might massive, the dragon’s body coiling, knocking the remaining two Heavenly Dao Puppets away that were charging at Ye Chen.

Luo Qingyi’s form flickered, appearing beside Ye Chen.

"Miss Qing... you..." Ye Chen’s voice was laden with exceedingly complex emotions.

Luo Qingyi had actually left the Sword Tomb and exposed herself to the will of the Heavenly Dao... this was a grave disaster for Luo Qingyi.

At this moment, Ye Chen understood that handing the Sword Tomb to Little Phoenix for safekeeping was something Luo Qingyi and others had arranged for this very moment!

Luo Qingyi’s icy countenance was shrouded with a faint glow, and she spoke, "Give me my sword, don’t ask more, just continue with what needs to be done."

Ye Chen’s mind stirred.

The Lifebound Sword that Luo Qingyi had given him earlier was retrieved from the Storage Ring and handed back to Luo Qingyi.

With sword in hand, Luo Qingyi, valiant and spirited, charged at a Heavenly Dao Puppet.

Meanwhile, Ye Chen bit down on his tongue, forcibly enduring, continuing to unleash divine might, slashing the Celestial Dao Cage!
