Chapter 1550: Forty-nine Heavenly Dao

“Hahaha! The Celestial Measuring Ruler is mine, the Celestial Measuring Ruler is mine.”

The Celestial Venerable laughed wildly, reaching out with his right hand to grab forcefully forward.

Immediately, the space distorted, and the Celestial Measuring Ruler began trembling intensely.

The Celestial Venerable frowned slightly, forcibly exerting strength in his hand, finally succeeding in gripping the Celestial Measuring Ruler after a thunderous explosion.

As soon as the Celestial Measuring Ruler was successfully held by the Celestial Venerable, it radiated brilliantly, as if illuminating the entire universe.

The Celestial Venerable, originally standing atop the cliff, was lifted by an invisible force, slowly floating into the air, like a deity descending to the mortal realm.

Within the sphere of light, the Celestial Venerable felt the transformation in his body, full of surprise and joy, as though he had the world within his grasp.

Between heaven and earth, winds rose and clouds surged, countless forces converged onto the Celestial Measuring Ruler, continuously flowing through his arm into his body.

The Celestial Venerable quietly felt the intense changes in his body, his eyes growing ever more frenzied.

He slowly turned his head, looking mockingly at those stunned Ten Thousand Races Celestial Prides not far away, a bloodthirsty smile tugging at the corner of his mouth.

“Let me properly test the power of this Celestial Measuring Ruler, and it’s just right to use the blood of you Ten Thousand Races Celestial Prides to bless my flag.”

Feeling the terrifying power expanding from the Celestial Venerable, fear appeared on everyone’s face.

Someone was the first to react, turning to flee.

But after just a few steps, they were forcibly blocked by the rapidly gathering minions of the Celestial Venerable.

They were now like a flock of lambs awaiting slaughter.

Of course, those gathered here were all Celestial Pride-level figures. Even though they knew the hope was slim, they would not just sit and await their doom.

At the brink of life and death, everyone abandoned past grievances.

Even those mutually hostile gathered together at this moment, prepared to fight to the death.

They thought that even if they could not avoid the inevitable conclusion of death and Dao extinction, they must find a way to rip a piece off their adversaries.

Just as everyone was poised and ready for a desperate fight, a carefree, unrestrained voice suddenly echoed in mid-air.

“Haha! Congratulations to the Celestial Venerable on obtaining the Immortal Soldier, Yang Yan comes with brothers to celebrate.”

The Celestial Venerable was somewhat surprised at Yang Yan’s appearance at this moment but was not shocked.

He only squinted his eyes slightly, his gaze burning as he assessed this uninvited guest.

He knew well that if the man before him died easily, it would greatly disappoint his expectations.

In all these years, it was the first time he cared so much about an enemy.

Moreover, Yang Yan appearing now was actually to the Celestial Venerable’s advantage.

Originally, the blood of these Ten Thousand Races Celestial Prides would suffice for the Celestial Measuring Ruler in his hand.

But now that there’s a better option, how could he refuse?

The Celestial Venerable exposed a cruel smile, arrogantly saying, “Perfect timing. I’ll use you to test the ruler, don’t disappoint me!”

Yang Yan and the Celestial Venerable faced each other in the sky, the air between them seemingly solidified.

Everyone present, who initially relaxed a bit when Yang Flame appeared, now clenched their fists subconsciously as the suffocating feeling spread, tensely watching the people in the sky.

Their victory or defeat would determine the fate of thousands.

Moreover, these people almost encompassed more than half of the new generation power of the Ten Thousand Races, the hope for them to resist the great calamity of heaven and earth.

After at least a minute of confrontation, the Celestial Venerable finally moved.

Murderous intent burst forth, as if it would shatter the heavens and earth.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

Three Laws strengthened him, instantly surrounding the Celestial Venerable.

The ruler moved, its brilliance bursting forth, an energy capable of destroying heavens and earth surging rapidly.

The Celestial Measuring Ruler could measure the heavens.

Above, it cuts stars, below, it strikes Nine Netherworld.

As this energy storm was continuously released, a giant ruler appeared above Yang Yan’s head.

Bang!

In a thunderous roar, the gigantic ruler’s shadow slashed down onto Yang Yan.

Yang Yan’s eyes displayed utter calm, showing no sign of panic.

He slowly raised his hand.

Instantly, thousands of Spiritual Power descended, gradually forming a second and third Yang Yan.

Yet this time, the two replicas were solid, identical to his original self.

They soared into the sky, charging left and right towards the swiftly slashing Celestial Measuring Ruler.

Bang, bang!

Two explosive sounds, the two replicas struck simultaneously, causing the Celestial Measuring Ruler to hesitate momentarily.

Suddenly, Yang Yan’s original body moved too.

The World-Ending Demon Spear appeared out of thin air, thrusting forward directly at the Celestial Measuring Ruler.

The three forces converged into a golden energy pillar, with a momentum like a galloping army, seemingly able to sway the Nine Heavens, indomitable.

Boom!

Another explosive sound, two mighty forces crashed violently against one another, raising a terrifying storm immediately.

The aftermath of the explosion rampaged madly, ripping apart this sky, the Heaven and Earth Laws suddenly missing, the entire space shaking violently, as if on the verge of collapse at any moment.

The Ten Thousand Races Cultivators closer to the action realized too late.

They couldn’t evade in time, even the few who did react quickly only successfully erected shields, lasting two or three seconds before their form and spirit were destroyed, turning to dust.

When the collision happened, Yang Yan’s original body vanished immediately, leaving only two replicas to continue bearing against the Celestial Measuring Ruler.

Relying on his extraordinary gifts in the Space Law and Mirror Image Law, Yang Yan successfully deceived the Celestial Venerable.

When he reappeared, he was already behind the Celestial Venerable, his World-Ending Demon Spear speeding like lightning towards the Celestial Venerable’s back.

The Celestial Venerable’s eyes sank, his figure flickering as he sneered coldly:

“Forty-nine Heavenly Dao!”

Accompanied by his words, the Great Dao lines manifested, with forty-nine great rivers appearing behind him, with the Power of the Great Dao swirling madly on them, causing the already strained space to sing.

The Great Dao is fifty, but Heaven evolves as forty-nine.

Forty-nine great Dao heavenly rivers, capable of purifying all, sweeping across the empyrean.

Seeing the great river ahead, Yang Yan’s expression changed. ℯℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

He knew very well that this guy intended to change the surroundings and establish his own Dao Domain.

Once trapped within, it would be like a turtle in a jar with no chance of escape.

Yang Yan naturally wouldn’t surrender like that, shouting decisively, his entire Spiritual Power crazily gathering at his Dantian.

Boom!

Spiritual Power compressed to the extreme suddenly erupted, radiating brilliantly.

His visage twisted, he suddenly shouted:

“True God Awakening!”

Yang Yan now shone with golden light all over, akin to a god descending.

Amidst the glowing brilliance, terrifying Divine Patterns firmly covered his body, enfolding him.

He thrust his World-Ending Demon Spear amidst a roar, the Celestial Venerable, shocked, tried constructing layers of Spiritual Shields to weaken this terrifying attack, leaving space for escape.

However, to his utter shock, when the spear pierced the Spiritual Shield, it faced almost no resistance, directly penetrating through them all.
