The Way of The Dao

The sound of a shackle breaking was clearly heard throughout the place.

The immortal cultivators could not help but feel a deep chill as they sensed this slight change. As if a horrifying and powerful beast had awakened....

* Thud *

The next moment, more than 10 cultivators unconsciously dropped their weapons while the others were stupefied. Fear and trembling appeared once again but this time, in great depth and strength.

Everyone was trembling as they realized that the Dragon King no longer had his mask. And the face behind the mask made everyone subconsciously recoil.

"The Heaven Supreme Lord..."

A faint, trembling voice was heard at once when they saw Ling Tian's true face!

Wasn't he really dead? But if his remnant spirit had appeared a while ago!

What was going on?

At this moment, everyone wanted to escape!

"Y-you're n-not d-dead?"

Mo Leng and Mo Ling stuttered for the first time when they saw Ling Tian's face. Their bodies trembled fiercely as the artifacts in their hands almost fell off.

Fear and despair gripped them. Who didn't know perfectly well the strength of a Supreme? Who didn't know the strongest Supreme in the Immortal realm?

But their Master and they, along with yet another Supreme, set a trap for Ling Tian and he should be dead.

No one could survive the depths of Samsara Bridge!

How could Ling Tian have survived?

Even if they were at their peak, they would not dare to face this powerful being who could kill them with just a flick of his fingers. Even their own Master would not be able to beat Ling Tian despite being on the same level.

"Why aren't you dead, damn it, die already!"

Both brothers could only take out their grievances and fears, wanting this to just be a nightmare.

Ling Tian's cold expression showed instantly, his eyes gathering intense and deep killing intent.

A single glance at the immortal cultivators caused them to lose all traces of fight and spirit. More than half of them prostrated themselves as they trembled in fear and dread.

The sky began to darken for the first time, as if someone was about to break. But they all realized that this was not a promotion of the Heavens and Earth, it was like something more horrible and awful. Horrible giant lightning bolts lit up the skies as they crossed between the clouds.

The intense and profound amount of Immortal Essence finally flowed into Ling Tian's meridians as he began to receive his power back.

* Cough! *

However, Shan Qingwu coughed again and her body fell into Ling Tian's arms as she was unable to move.

"Hang in there, you'll be fine!"

Ling Tian settled Shan Qingwu in his arms and took out the natural treasure that was the gourd.

Sending out a thread of energy, Ling Tian quickly took out the single drop inside the gourd: the Essence of Dawn and Life.

Ling Tian placed the transparent drop on Shan Qingwu's wound and it began to close the hole and heal.

Shan Qingwu felt the pain slowly begin to subside, but she still could not move. Her consciousness was cloudy while her senses were weak.

Ling Tian sighed as he saw Shan Qingwu getting better, but inside he was about to burst with killing intent!

He hates it when he feels he's going to lose his family and can't do anything to stop it!

If after reaching the peak and having the strength and he still couldn't stop his family from being hurt, wouldn't that make a mockery of himself?

Ling Tian gently settled Shan Qingwu on the ground and finally stood up as his strength continued to increase as well.

But the suppression he felt had increased as well when Heaven and Earth felt his threat for the first time.

The world began to tremble again!

The breath of the Primordial Chaos Force also increased when the Heavenly Seal was unleashed, but Ling Tian snorted and quickly kept it under control with his own power.

It seemed like a layer of fog had been removed as he felt like he could see much more clearly into the world, as if the layer of shackles like heavy plates had been removed and he could do many more things now.

Ling Tian's strength began to increase, but likewise the suppression also increased fiercely, as if it did not want to allow Ling Tian to become stronger!

Ling Tian gently waved his hand and pushed everyone back in the direction of the city, putting them behind him and leaving only the enemies in the front.

They were all severely wounded and only felt a gentle breeze embrace them and the next moment teleported them away.

"Supreme Lord, please forgive me..."

"Venerable Lord, don't kill us..."

"Senior, I had no choice but to do it..."

Murmurs filled with terror and anguish came from the people prostrate in Ling Tian's direction, trembling with fear as they realized who they were dealing with. Fear and terror gripped them and their spirits crumbled, losing all sense of continuing to fight.

"Mo Leng! Mo Ling!"

Ling Tian called out grimly as he looked in the direction of the two brothers, causing both of them to be unable to stop trembling.

"You'll wish you hadn't thought of killing me before! I'll get rid of you first and then send your Master to hell with you!"

Ling Tian waved his hand and a heavenly sword was created before flying and splitting the sky, fiercely striking where Mo Leng and Mo Ling were standing.

* Boom! *

The formation shook and was almost destroyed as cracks appeared in the barrier. The strike wasn't enough to destroy the shield.

"He doesn't have his full strength! We still have a chance to win!"

Mo Leng shouted and took out some Immortal Crystals he had found and threw them into the formation. These were his last resort. The arrow had been shot and now they could only keep moving forward even though they knew the most likely outcome.

The next moment, the Immortal Crystals turned into dust and mixed into the formation, increasing the barrier and strength. Mo Leng and Mo Ling burned their blood essences and their faces paled further.

However, no one moved, let alone attacked.

Who would dare to attack a powerful being at the top of the world?

This shock and impact was far more profound than that of the Dragon King!

"What are you waiting for!" Mo Leng roared as if his life depended on it and yelled again, "Remember! If we kill him, whoever kills him will then become the next Supreme!"

This words crossed everyone's consciousness, but only a few reacted and moved hesitantly. The others did not care and remained prostrate on the ground.

Killing a Supreme might give them the opportunity to become one in the future as well, so these words encouraged some to dare to take the step!

It's either move forward or stay stuck forever!

The immortal essences flowed wildly as they released their most powerful techniques. All the medicinal and spirit pills were consumed. If they were going to fall, then they would give their all when fighting.

Ling Tian began to walk towards where Mo Ling and Mo Leng were. Every step he took seemed to teleport a great distance.

"I will become the next Supreme!"

The cultivator holding the artifact of a castle in his hand laughed evilly as he looked at Ling Tian. His eyes showed a glint at the thought of killing Ling Tian and getting the chance to win the Supreme.

The once imposing castle grew much larger and began to distort the space around it.

Blood spurted out of the cultivator's mouth as he forced his power to the limit. He didn't mind aggravating his injuries.

If he could kill Ling Tian, then it would be worth it even if he gave up everything.

The huge castle seemed to cover the skies, as if the base sat among the clouds and they had to worship it!

The corrosive gas spread out and at once it all came together, which, headed towards Ling Tian.

Everyone was shocked to see that the castle that originally gave them trouble could still create such awesomeness and might.

"Everything below me is useless."

Ling Tian coldly snorted as he calmly raised his hand and pinched the space in the direction of the castle in the sky.

Instantly, before everyone's eyes, the huge castle seemed to split, as if the sky split in half!

The castle split in half and quickly shattered the next moment as the sky bent many times. The clouds disappeared and the sky seemed to twist and twitch before returning to its original state, as if nothing had happened.

It seemed like an illusion, as if space was available to Ling Tian and he could easily manipulate it at will, being able to destroy all the space in one place.

The corrosive gas disappeared as Ling Tian waved his hand and dispersed it, as if it were mere dust.

"Argh!"

The cultivator spat out blood as he felt the powerful force Ling Tian used to attack him, feeling his wounds worsen further as he felt the artifact being destroyed the next moment. His connection with his treasure that was severed hurt him even more.

"What kind of power is this?"

Xuanyuan Ling asked in astonishment as everyone witnessed what happened.

Was it so easy to get rid of the attacks with a simple move?

Even her Masters couldn't make such a move as just "pinching" in the air.

Even Tang Wanying and the others couldn't help but be amazed at Ling Tian's strength as he unlocked the Heavenly Seal. The women knew that he had finally raised his strength.

* Boom! *

The cultivator exploded and a mist of blood formed. He couldn't even scream in pain before he disappeared along with his essence spirit.

Ling Tian walked and every step he took caused the earth to rumble, all while still under the constant suppression of Heaven and Earth.
