Chapter 507 - 447: New Fruit Position!

"PFFT!"

"THUD!"

The Emperor’s Extreme Creation Incarnation shook violently. Its nine-colored glowing light dimmed significantly in an instant, its aura withering.

The Profound Yellow Great Virtue Incarnation looked as though it had suffered a heavy blow. Its massive phantom shook violently as countless cracks surfaced across its body!

Though Qi Yun was riddled with doubts, the window of opportunity was fleeting!

He let out a long howl, moving like lightning. Seizing the momentary opening created when the two incarnations were wounded and their coordination faltered, he forcibly merged the Daoist Intent fragments he had just plundered and comprehended—the Grand Emperor’s slaughter, the mysterious wonders of Creation, and the stability of great virtue—into his own Sword Dao. These transformed into a shocking, Chaos Color Sword Gang that he ruthlessly slashed outward!

"SLASH!!!"

Wherever the Sword Gang passed, space was sliced open like thin paper. It swept precisely across the injured Emperor’s Extreme Creation Incarnation and the Profound Yellow Great Virtue Incarnation at the exact same time!

"POP! POP!"

With two soft sounds, these two incarnations followed in the Grand Emperor’s footsteps. Their bodies collapsed, dissipating into motes of Dao Rhyme light before vanishing.

The tide of battle had reversed in an instant!

The existence of True Monarch Shen Yi’s incarnation became the most volatile variable on the battlefield. Every Grandmist Divine Technique that appeared to target Qi Yun would ultimately end up severely injuring or even "accidentally killing" another Venerable incarnation through various coincidences or mishaps!

Qi Yun went from initial shock, to sudden realization, and finally, to a tacit understanding.

He stopped trying to guess Shen Yi’s motives and instead cooperated with all his might!

As he devoured more and more Daoist Intent, his comprehension of the Venerable Dao Foundation deepened. The progress bar for [Daluo Heaven] began to skyrocket at an unprecedented pace!

50%... 60%... 70%...

He didn’t know how long had passed; perhaps it was only a brief moment, or perhaps it had been an eternity.

When Qi Yun threw a punch into the sea of Primordial Qi—transformed from the final Profound Primordial Qi Incarnation—thoroughly shattering and absorbing it...

The entire vast and fragmented Daluo Heaven battlefield finally fell completely silent.

The clamor faded, and the Dao Rhyme settled. In the devastated void, only three figures remained standing quietly.

Qi Yun’s aura had already transformed. Although his robes were in tatters and his body was covered in scars, his eyes were as bright as stars. Dao Rhyme circulated around him, faintly projecting an atmosphere of the Ten Thousand Laws returning to one and the initial settling of chaos.

He seemed to be only one step away from final Perfection.

Opposite him stood the perpetually silent Daluo Myriad Skills Incarnation. To the side of these two was the incarnation of True Monarch Shen Yi, its dark robes fluttering and its face obscured by mist.

Qi Yun slowly exhaled a breath of Muddy Qi. Rousing the Magical Power within his body—which was surging yet still a fraction short of "Perfection"—he stared solemnly at the Daluo Incarnation opposite him. It looked exactly like him but emanated an "ultimate" aura.

He knew that this was the final and most crucial trial. He was just about to step forward and settle things with this ultimate enemy.

"Heh..."

A very faint, light chuckle suddenly echoed from the side.

Qi Yun turned slightly. He watched as True Monarch Shen Yi’s incarnation, its face still shrouded in mist, looked at him and then at the Daluo Incarnation opposite him.

Then, under Qi Yun’s gaze, True Monarch Shen Yi slowly revealed a mysterious and unfathomable smile.

The smile vanished in a flash.

The next moment—

"POOF."

With a soft sound, this peerlessly tyrannical, mysterious, and unfathomable dark-robed figure disintegrated on its own, like sand scattered by the wind. It merged into the surrounding void of Daluo Heaven and vanished.

"..."

Qi Yun froze once more. Staring at the spot where Shen Yi’s incarnation had disappeared, waves stirred in his heart again.

However, now was truly not the time to dwell on such matters. He cast his gaze back toward the eternally calm Daluo Incarnation opposite him. Taking a deep breath, he temporarily suppressed his thoughts about Shen Yi.

Qi Yun refocused his Heart and Spirit, concentrating all his attention on this final and sole remaining opponent. He slowly assumed a combat stance, and the residual yet surging Magical Power within him began to gallop.

But just as Qi Yun’s momentum climbed to its absolute peak and he was about to launch his final strike—

The Daluo Incarnation opposite him, which had been silent all this time, suddenly moved.

He did not attack, nor did he defend. He merely sat down cross-legged, slowly. His movements were natural, like a learned sage watching the clouds.

After sitting down, he raised his eyes. His gaze—which was identical to Qi Yun’s, calm, profound, and reflecting all the evolutions of Daluo Heaven—looked peacefully at Qi Yun. Then, under Qi Yun’s bewildered gaze, this Daluo Incarnation slightly raised a hand toward him, making a "please" gesture.

Qi Yun narrowed his eyes slightly.

In the next instant, from somewhere in the unseen void, a crystal-clear strand of Spiritual Light suddenly illuminated his Heart Lake like a bolt of lightning tearing through the darkness!

"I see."

A hint of enlightenment appeared on Qi Yun’s face. He hesitated no longer. Dispersing the majestic Magical Power and piercing battle intent he had built up around him, he similarly sat down cross-legged, facing the Daluo Incarnation from a distance.

The two of them were separated by no more than thirty feet. At this moment, their auras simultaneously settled into a profound stillness.

The Daluo Incarnation was the first to speak. His voice was identical to Qi Yun’s, yet more ethereal and indifferent, like the voice of the Celestial Dao. Qi Yun responded in a deep voice, his Heart and Spirit now completely immersed in this final "Dao inquiry."

At first, their questions and answers all expounded upon the most fundamental principles of cultivation. But as their discussion of the Dao deepened, the topic swiftly shifted to the essence of Daluo Myriad Skills.

"You say Daluo means Commanding All Skills," the Daluo Incarnation asked. "Yet the Ten Thousand Laws are numerous and complex, each with its own root. How do you command them?"

"Though the Ten Thousand Laws are numerous, their source is one," Qi Yun answered. "Daluo does not forcefully command the Ten Thousand Laws; rather, it holds onto the ’one’ to command the myriad. This ’one’ is my Dao. It is the principle reflected in my heart."

"Good. But what is your Dao? What principle does your heart reflect?"

"My Dao..." Qi Yun pondered for a moment, divine light gleaming brightly in his eyes.
