The Sims: I Open the Immortal Path for All Beings

Chapter 823: Chapter 773 Subdue the Gods

Boom…

The heavens were astonished, the stars swayed, the firmament trembled, and the momentum was overwhelming.

As an innate deity cultivated by the True Martial Sect over a hundred years, gathering the power of countless gods and drawing upon the Power of Incense Fire from all beings’ faith in the True Martial Emperor, it had yet to ascend to the Nine Realms of Spirit, the Strongest Realm. But born with Heavenly Authority and the peak power of the Spirit Realm Eightfold, it held the qualification to contend even with ordinary Supreme Strongs of the Spirit Realm Ninefold.

At this moment, the mere act of its intervention shook heaven and earth.

In the instant that the malevolent deity who proclaimed himself Zhenwu Devil Vanquishing Heavenly Venerable, Xuantian God, made a move, not only Taihe Mountain but cultivators within tens of thousands of miles felt a terrifying presence descend, penetrating their souls.

The entire Taihe Mountain range was, in an instant, shrouded in darkness with violent winds causing sand and stones to fly, leaving countless cultivators with expressions of horror as they looked up at the sky, witnessing a swath of divine thunder and fire rain piercing through the sea of clouds.

“You who show no respect to the gods, shall be punished!” The evil god’s voice echoed between heaven and earth.

“Indeed, these methods are truly commendable, a befitting result of the True Martial Sect’s years of sacrifice,” said Pei Xuanjing with a smile, “But that’s about it!”

Indeed, the potency of such methods was immediately evident, showcasing the dreadful power of the evil god infused with Master Sanfeng’s True Spirit, probably also drawing upon some of Master Sanfeng’s cultivation insights and combat experience. Such might was enough to dominate across the world, as long as it didn’t encounter a Supreme Strong. From this perspective, the True Martial Sect’s plan indeed didn’t have much of a problem.

Unfortunately, the target of the evil god’s move was none other than Pei Xuanjing, an Overlord who possessed the power to suppress Supreme Strongs before even advancing to the Spirit Realm Ninefold, let alone now.

If the opponent were to be called an evil god, then Pei Xuanjing, who currently bore a smile, would exude an even more terrifying and violent aura when he truly made his move.

“Sect Leader, please step back for now. Wait for me to suppress this evil god, and then we’ll have a talk,” said Pei Xuanjing as he gently waved his sleeve, enveloping the Qingxu Taoist with a soft force and sending him away.

It’s true that Qingxu Taoist’s strength was among the best of his peers, and even though he was only at the Spirit Realm Sixth Level, he had the power to battle against Cultivators of the Spirit Realm Seventh Level.

But that was all. The current battlefield between these two combatants was not something he could partake in.

Boom!

With a single step from Pei Xuanjing, the Sanbao Jade Ruyi in his hand shone brightly, and a dreadful might instantly filled the sky.

This might that appeared out of nowhere seemed to originate from the same source as that of the malevolent deity who called himself Zhenwu Devil Vanquishing Heavenly Venerable, Xuantian God, yet Pei Xuanjing’s power was tinged with even more uprightness and was more fearsome.

As one of the Six Imperials, the Jade Purity True Monarch, Emperor of Longevity who ruled the divine court, not only was he ranked above the self-proclaimed Zhenwu Devil Vanquishing Heavenly Venerable, Xuantian God, but Pei Xuanjing’s power also towered above his. With the power to call forth Wind and Rain, command Thunder and Lightning Gods and Demons, and control the crucial pivot of all living beings’ fortunes and misfortunes, Pei Xuanjing’s authority had continuously strengthened. After opening the Longevity World, the Heavenly Authority granted to him increased. Then, after experiencing the last life simulation world, where Pei Xuanjing established a Divine Court and ruled over the gods with the authority of the Jade Purity True Monarch, Emperor of Longevity, his rank and Authority were once again perfected, incomparable to the present evil god.

With a light wave of the Sanbao Jade Ruyi in his hand, he tore through the sky, and the radiance suppressed everything below.

Bang!

The malevolent deity, as if struck by a heavy blow, was smacked by the Sanbao Jade Ruyi, and then its divine light dimmed a few notches, its form wobbling.

Though this evil god appeared powerful and its majesty overwhelming, in reality, it had not been born for long and lacked experience in magical combat. If it relied on its authority and divine might to suppress those less powerful than itself, even against opponents of the same level, it might have had some chance of victory.

But it just so happened to encounter Pei Xuanjing, who surpassed the other in status, authority, Realm strength, divine powers, and combat experience. So, despite possessing terrifying strength, before it could even make a move, it was already defeated by Pei Xuanjing.

“You…” The evil deity, self-proclaimed as the Devil Vanquishing Heavenly Venerable, had a flash of horror in its eyes.

It never imagined that the seemingly ordinary mortal before it was actually a formidable deity in disguise, with both status and authority above its own.

Although recently born, having absorbed part of Master Sanfeng’s True Spirit experience, along with the instincts of a living being, the deity, when faced with an overwhelmingly powerful opponent like Pei Xuanjing, decided not to continue fighting and instead chose to flee.

“How could I let you escape, dream on!”

Pei Xuanjing naturally saw through the malevolent deity’s intention to escape right away, and he was not about to let it flee easily.

A slender hand reached out, and with a flick of his fingers, countless sword energies burst forth. In an instant, the sword energies spanned the eight directions and lingered for a long time without dispersing.

The sky filled with sword energies soared to the heavens, enveloping the Eight Directions, merging Qian and Kun, shaking Xun, uniting Kan and Li, Gen to Dui, forming the imagery of the Eight Trigrams.

In a moment, a pattern composed of sword energies formed an Eight Trigrams diagram in the sky, with sword energies from each direction complementing and restraining one another, mutually promoting and continuously cycling in an endless flow.

Second Sword · Eight Extremes!

This sword technique, originally created by Pei Xuanjing, grew increasingly powerful as his strength continually rose.

This sword technique was essentially a trapping method, using the Eight Trigrams to simulate eight spatial zones as a Magical Domain to bind his opponent. Having experienced the formation of the Divine Kingdom, the elevation of Mystical Land of Blessings, the evolution of Cave Heaven, and the Opening the Heavens and Splitting the Earth within the minor thousand worlds, Pei Xuanjing had a clearer understanding of space, making the technique even more potent.

At that moment, the Eight Trigrams formation fell from the firmament, enveloping the malevolent deity, self-proclaimed as the Devil Vanquishing Heavenly Venerable.

“You underestimate me too much!” The malevolent deity roared in anger, finding it arrogant to believe that a mere formation could contain it.

Clang!

With a fervent slash of its divine sword, the dreadful edge tore through space, and its fierce sword energy, cutting through heavens and earth, led the stars to flicker and the universe to resonate.

The space formed by the Eight Trigrams formation vibrated, fragmented, reformed, and just as it shattered, the malevolent deity seized the opportunity to break free in an attempt to escape.

Regrettably, at the instant the malevolent deity tried to fly away, eight forces converged around it—Heaven and Earth, Wind and Thunder, Water and Fire, Mountain and Marsh. These eight forces entangled it, and with each step it took, the forces kept pace.

Impossible to dispel, to sever, to isolate, to wear away, as if they had merged with the malevolent deity itself.
