Chapter 1183: Chapter 722: Choosing the Right Path is Very Important_2

The only regret he felt was that he couldn’t personally witness how that kid was swallowed and slowly digested by the master.

“…”

The others helplessly averted their gazes.

Just as Jin Guang said, not everything has the opportunity for regret.

Since they had already withdrawn the Tribulation Power, they needed to be ready for their path to be cut short… As for begging for mercy, if it really worked, Dan Peak wouldn’t have almost lost its heritage back then.

Might as well die with some dignity.

After thinking this, they stood there with ashen faces, like prisoners awaiting the falling guillotine.

Rip—-

At this moment.

The Sky Curtain suddenly tore open, strands of gray fog, like the claws of evil ghosts, surged out aggressively.

If it weren’t for the Divine Void Immortal Array’s concealment, it might have devoured the entire Jianyang Prefecture in an instant.

The Golden Thunder Taoist was momentarily stunned, then a trace of ferocity appeared in his smile. He clutched the Array Device tightly, like the most devout believer: “Disciple welcomes the Master’s arrival!”

The others instinctively looked over.

In an instant, a somewhat ethereal shadow flashed out.

Even Qian Feng Taoist, upon seeing this shadow, felt a twinge of fear in his heart– no matter how tough one can talk, at the moment of death, who wouldn’t mourn for their cultivation?

He bit his teeth hard, struggling to maintain the last bit of dignity.

But then, a trace of confusion appeared in everyone’s eyes.

The one emerging from the Taixu Realm was indeed the master they remembered, but the figure appeared to be in a sorry state.

Not only was the soul body so faint that a gust of wind might blow it away, but the silken treasure robe it wore was in tatters, and even the six long ribbons on its back drooped weakly.

The old face was battered and tattered, evidently severely wounded.

They were all cultivators from the same lineage.

Everyone put themselves in that position, and under such circumstances, one would certainly retreat into the Taixu, using the gray fog as a shelter to heal.

But the Shenxu Ancestor had frantically fled.

This could only mean that in the Taixu Realm, there existed something even more terrifying!

“…”

The Shenxu Ancestor took deep, heavy breaths, his scarlet eyes coldly sweeping over everyone, his gaze did not even seem to be looking at his disciples.

He was like a fugitive, searching for a chance at survival, discerning which of the things before him could be tools to escape his fate.

Immediately, the Shenxu Ancestor’s pupils narrowed slightly, and without hesitation, he opened his mouth.

Sudden change.

The first victim was the Golden Thunder Taoist, who a moment ago was still welcoming the Master.

The elderly man looked reverent, yet his facial expression contorted violently as if whipped by a fierce wind. His eyes widened in disbelief, staring at the master in the sky: “Master… it’s Golden Thunder… it’s your disciple…”

The remaining peak masters, including Ye Lan, also sensed the same feeling of being drained.

It was only at this moment that they personally experienced what Dan Peak had encountered in the past.

That despair, powerless to resist, instantly overwhelmed their entire hearts.

Yet in the next moment, a torrent of golden light burst from the rift, shattering the pervasive gray fog, rippled up like a long river, enveloping everyone within it.

Except for the Golden Thunder Taoist.

The old man watched helplessly as his body was peeled away, revealing a dazzling Void Golden Thunder Dao Fruit.

This Grade Dao Fruit uncontrollably flew up into the air.

He finally reacted, shocked and unwilling, looking back, seeing those sect mates, though shocked, standing unharmed in place.

The reason was clearly in that Golden River above.

“Junior, save me!”

Instinctively, the Golden Thunder Taoist shouted aloud, mobilizing all his Tribulation Power, desperately leaping towards the Golden River.

“…”

Everyone stared blankly at the rift in the sky.

A young man, engulfed in golden light, carrying a six-armed phantom, quietly emerged from the Taixu Realm.

The aura emanating from him was clearly that of a Bodhisattva!

“Bodhisattva, merciful and compassionate!”

The Golden Thunder Taoist couldn’t understand why the master suddenly wanted to consume him.

But he knew who the only one who could save him now was.

Watching as the Golden Thunder Taoist was about to plunge into that Golden River.

Suddenly, Qian Feng Taoist kicked him in the chest, coldly reminding, “Senior, you said it yourself, having chosen the wrong path, how can you turn back!”

The Golden Thunder Taoist flew backward, and the Dao Fruit hanging in the sky was finally swallowed whole by the Shenxu Ancestor.

Up to this point, despair finally surged in the old man’s eyes.

He actually understood the rationale, just couldn’t fathom, how could the path he chose… be wrong!

He hadn’t noticed that after devouring his Dao Fruit, the Shenxu Ancestor’s form solidified somewhat, yet his face was filled with equal despair.

This Immortal Sect ancestor suddenly turned, glaring viciously at the young man approaching him.

Let alone eating one Golden Thunder Taoist, even if he devoured all the disciples, the tiny state he recovered couldn’t change the situation.

The Shenxu Ancestor was just desperate, unwilling to let go of any chance of survival.

“…”

The peak masters hovered dazed in the air, watching as Shen Yi calmly approached the master.

The ferocity on the Shenxu Ancestor’s face seemed somewhat ridiculous before the youth’s calm demeanor.

The Golden River surged! Submerging this small prefecture entirely in the golden radiant ocean.

Shen Yi pinched a finger technique with one hand, and in the next moment, the six arms behind him fell like a torrential storm, striking the Shenxu Ancestor’s body entirely.

Every punch imbued with different Buddha Seals.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

This time, Shen Yi, to ensure killing the opponent, entirely ignored aura perception, relying solely on his eyes, swung six arms together, and before everyone’s eyes, brutally shattered Shenxu Ancestor’s soul body into bits.

Ensuring there were no remains whatsoever.

He still didn’t stop, the preceding Buddha Seals in his punches continuously gathered, transforming into a Golden Bowl, overturned onto the ground, refining it thousands of times before calling it quits.

A famous and revered ancestor didn’t even have the slightest resistance and was brutally slain!

This cruel demeanor, falling into the eyes of others, sent a shiver down their spines.

Qian Feng Taoist opened his mouth: “…”

Compared to others’ dumbfoundedness, he suddenly realized something.

If the Taixu Pill Emperor was indeed a Bodhisattva, then how could the Dragon Subduing and Tiger Suppressing Great Ming King dare to compete with a Bodhisattva for scriptures?

Looking at Shen Yi’s six arms again, becoming increasingly familiar…

Therefore, the Dragon Subduing and Tiger Suppressing Great Ming King and the Taixu Pill Emperor were actually the same person?!

There were no two Heavenly Prides suppressing their peers from the start; it was a single person’s solo brilliance in the world!

“Gulp.”

The other peak masters came back to themselves, then silently looked at the Array Device in their hands.

It’s hard to imagine if they hadn’t withdrawn the Tribulation Power just now, if they could still stand here watching.

Jin Guang was right, choosing the right path… is really crucial.

“…”

In the courtyard.

Shen Yi quietly watched the dispersing Golden Bowl, slightly raising his gaze.

[Slain Third Grade Six-winged Soul Worm, total lifespan Ten Thousand Tribulations, remaining lifespan eight thousand seven hundred Tribulations, absorption completed]

With this panel prompt, he finally felt relieved.

The Demon Lifespan happened to be Ten Thousand Tribulations, without the slightest discrepancy, coinciding with the ten strands of Heavenly Dao Order Origin upon entering the Third Grade.

He guessed correctly.

Although not to the level of undying and imperishing he envisioned, compared to the Fourth Grade Demon with only two or three hundred lifespan years, this was already a terrifying leap.

He exhaled a light breath, pondering in his heart.

“So, the subsequent absorption of Order Origin is all about progress in realms, but the initial ten strands represent a change in the level of life?”

“Add three more transformations, ultimately becoming a Post-Heavenly True God, escaping beyond the two realms, not found within the five elements.”

This mysterious, ineffable path of cultivation that began with Qi Refinement gradually became clear in Shen Yi’s mind.

Yet correspondingly, an even greater question loomed in his mind.

If Second Rank means thoroughly becoming a Post-Heavenly True God, already gaining the great freedom stated by the Bodhi Sect, then what should the even higher First Rank be?

Moreover, the Third Grade is just the process of transformation.

After stepping into the Second Rank, cultivators and demons both complete this transformation, becoming Post-Heavenly True Gods, does this mean that the lifespan years that his panel can absorb… are no longer limited to beings rooted in the Demon Race?

Or is it that they cannot be killed anymore?

“Never mind, thinking too far ahead.”

Shen Yi withdrew his gaze, looking again at everyone present.

He previously used the Golden River to protect these people, not out of compassion, unable to bear the old demon’s rampant slaughter.

To implement his initial plan of fishing in troubled waters, he had to possess a sufficiently prominent identity.

The name of the Shenxu Ancestor was quite a reputable one.
