Chapter 1701 — The Divine Hall and the Overlord Saber

A mere four Great Luo Heavens cannot harm me in the slightest! " He set his mind at ease. The Ultimate Void had no power of its own; its resistance to his planting of the Dao tree merely mobilized the power of the Great Daos branded into the Ultimate Void. Clearly, though the seventeenth cosmic era had developed for six billion years, its Dao arts and divine abilities were still quite backward.

The mightiest beings in this universe had only just begun to touch upon attaining the Dao; only four had attained it, and they had cultivated only to the realm of the Dao flower within the Great Luo Heaven realm — no threat to him.

He had just breathed a sigh of relief when suddenly another surge of Great Dao fluctuations came crashing in. The Master of Lingguan Hall's expression changed drastically; he hurriedly soared into the air and landed before the Lingguan Treasure Hall!

He roared again and again, exerting the treasure hall with all his might; but that ray of Dao light surged — incomparably powerful, incomparably terrifying — and with one wave of impact, the surface of his Lingguan Treasure Hall crackled and exploded, and with a thunderous boom it plunged from the skies of the Great Luo Heaven down to the earth! Boom!

Struck by the treasure hall, the Great Luo Heaven quaked, the earth split open, mountains toppled, and the terrifying impact whipped up gales that tore the newly rooted Dao tree up by its roots! In the sky of the Great Luo Heaven, the sun winked out and fell to the earth, smashing the Great Luo Heaven into a sunken, skewed state, while the bright moon in the sky split asunder on its own, obliterated by that surge of the Great Dao!

His treasure hall even creaked and groaned, Dao stones cracking again and again, unable to withstand that incomparably terrifying pressure; even the Master of Lingguan Hall before the hall was crushed until his physical body shrank continuously, unable to steady himself! "The Dao of Taiyi!

I forgot that man!

" The Master of Lingguan Hall drew a long breath, and every part of his body — hundreds of bones, the five viscera and six bowels, the large and small intestines, hundreds of muscles, even hair and skin — all transformed into ancient gods! He was so ancient that every part of his physical body had already become a god; now, with all his dharma power mobilized, he was truly formidable beyond measure!

"It is that man's Great Luo Heaven! That nameless powerhouse who fought with the master!

" The Master of Lingguan Hall's body swelled madly as he shouted fiercely again and again, forcibly withstanding the crushing of that terrifying Dao of Taiyi. Within the Dao of Taiyi were mingled innate primordial qi, the Dao of Divine Consciousness, and the Dao of the Sword, inflicting wound after wound upon him!

The Master of Lingguan Hall seemed oblivious; his body broke and reformed at once, and these wounds could not harm him — only the Dao of Divine Consciousness invading his mind caused him no small trouble.

But he had attained the Dao over four cosmic eras, and his Dao heart was so firm that even if the one who had cultivated the Great Luo Heaven of Divine Consciousness came in person, it would be difficult to do him much harm. "It is that powerhouse who crossed sixteen long rivers of chaos to see the master at Miluo Palace!

He was cast down by the master into the fourth era; the eldest young master searched for him all along without ever finding him, and only in the sixteenth era did he find him and suppress him!

" The Master of Lingguan Hall's body continued to swell, growing ever stronger, Great Daos dancing behind his head as his form gradually rose from before the treasure hall.

The treasure hall was coiled about by his Great Daos, its might pushed to the utmost, Dao sounds as resonant as great bells and chimes vibrating unceasingly! "I forgot — he attained the Dao in the seventeenth era.

I nearly suffered a great loss! " On the Dao tree, three Dao fruits rose and the Dao flower bloomed, sending the Master of Lingguan Hall's aura surging higher and higher!

He withstood the Dao of Taiyi head-on, steadied himself, and floated up, hovering above his Dao tree.

With a chuckle he said: "If Taiyi were still in this universe, then I would retreat three stages, would not brand the Ultimate Void, would not plant a Dao tree. But he has been suppressed by the eldest young master; the Dao of Taiyi branded by his Great Luo Heaven alone cannot harm me!

" He withstood the Great Dao impacts of five Great Luo Heavens, and his Dao tree took root once more; at once his Great Luo Heaven ceased collapsing, and the sun that had sunk and smashed into the land of the Great Luo Heaven blazed again, rising slowly. The blazing sun outshone fire; as it rose, the land of the Great Luo Heaven was awash in firelight, the earth flowing with gold.

Just then, on the golden earth, a figure walked slowly forward, treading amid the flowing fire of the sun.

"The seventh young master!

" The Master of Lingguan Hall's expression changed drastically, and his Dao heart finally wavered. In the very instant his Dao heart wavered, killing intent boiled up from the long shadow behind Shen Mu and rushed into the Master of Lingguan Hall's mind in the blink of an eye! The next moment, he saw another figure already at his side; the sky-filling killing intent linked with the killing intent in his mind, transforming into the saber in that figure's hand.

The figure turned, the saber at his back; the blade light connected to the brain deep within his brow and slashed upward! The Master of Lingguan Hall's brow split open, and he cried out fiercely: "Shang Jun—" The young man's killing intent was so intense; his steps shifted, moving around him back and forth with extreme speed, and with every step he took, a saber strike lashed out!

Blade light like white silk whirled unceasingly around the Master of Lingguan Hall.

Suddenly, a bolt of blade light like a length of white silk flashed by, cleaving from top to bottom; with a great crack, the Master of Lingguan Hall's Dao tree split down the middle and toppled to either side!

Bang!

The Master of Lingguan Hall was torn into four or five pieces, then crushed down by five Great Daos from the Void, and the treasure hall crashed with a thunderous boom onto the fallen Dao tree! Shang Jun dispersed his killing intent, stepped back, dodged the falling Lingguan Treasure Hall, and lurked back into the shadow behind Shen Mu.
