The faint figure was shrouded in a sacred glow. One could only vaguely see his figure.
Even though his figure was smaller than the eyes that were as big as the sun, a solemn aura was being emitted from his figure.
Following the sacred figure's appearance, the broken sky was filled with life. Giant Stars swiftly appeared, decorating the dark sky.
"It's you, Emperor Monarch, you left a seal here." The enraged voice snapped, "It seems like you're still afraid of the prophecy, hehe …"
At the end of the sentence, the voice had a profound meaning.
As his words spread, the sound waves shattered the Stars in the sky, causing the sky to shatter. Giant cracks appeared in the sky.
The sacred figure wore a calm gaze as he said calmly, "I'm the ruler of the world. I can create or destroy worlds with a single thought. Why would I care about a mere prophecy?"
His voice was loud, like the laws of the Heavens. The shattered Stars reappeared, and the cracks in the rift gradually healed.
He did not unleash his energy on purpose.
"If you don't care, how are you going to destroy the Great Void in the prophecy? Hehe, Emperor Monarch, you think you're the ruler of the world, but it's just an illusion. Everything will be in vain in the end," the voice mocked.
"The Monarch Fate belongs to me, not the Heavens." The sacred figure's tone remained calm, "You dare to defy the Monarch Fate, you deserve death."
"However, this Emperor didn't expect that you would be able to escape this calamity and even recover a portion of your cultivation."
"However, you've activated my seal with your power. You're courting death."
The voice rumbled like thunder. It was merciless and filled with murderous intent. The Stars in the sky stopped spinning due to the murderous intent.
"How much power do you have with a seal? What can you do to me?" The voice said.
"It's more than enough to kill a cripple like you." The sacred figure made his move.
He pointed his finger across the sky, firing a destructive ray.
Wherever the ray passed, everything was destroyed. The Stars were shattered into pieces.
"Daluo Heavenly Finger!"
The two giant eyes flickered with astonishment.
Immediately after, the two eyes, which were even larger than the sun, emitted a terrifying temperature and shot out two beams of light that were even more dazzling than the True Flames of the Sun, containing unparalleled energy.
Bang!
The two beams of light clashed together, but there was no sound at all. At the center of the collision, the starry sky disappeared, and a gigantic black hole appeared, devouring everything on the Star.
That black hole was enormous, spanning hundreds of millions of miles.
"Your strength has recovered quite a bit." There was a hint of surprise in the sacred figure's tone.
"But today, you must die!"
The sacred figure slowly waved his hands, causing the boundless starry sky to change.
Above them, a huge cover appeared. Below them, a golden net appeared.
An inescapable net!
It was the supreme seal that the Imperial Monarch had set up all those years ago, and it sealed off the surroundings and annihilated all living beings.
"Activating the power of the seal. It would seem that this imprint that you left behind is only so-so," That voice contained a mocking tone.
The Inescapable Net closed in from all directions and enveloped the two huge eyes.
"Chi!"
A resplendent light shone out, following which a massive palm grabbed towards the Heaven and Earth Net.
That palm was surrounded by an inexplicable divine light. It was like the primordial chaos of the universe.
"Rip!"
The hand exerted strength and tore the Heaven and Earth Net apart.
"Primordial Taixu Primordial Qi. You've actually cultivated the mystique of the Taixu Heavenly Lord to this level." The sacred figure trembled.
"Hehe, I've been wandering between life and death for billions of years. How could I not have gained anything?" The voice laughed coldly.
Then, the huge hand came crashing down, grabbing the divine figure in its palm and squeezing it hard, causing the divine figure to explode.
The imprint of the Imperial Monarch was erased, and the Heaven and Earth Net gradually hid in the depths of the void. The numerous arrays that had yet to be activated slowly disappeared.
The two huge eyes looked at the Heaven and Earth Net and the seals. The sacred figure sighed, "The arrays are connected to the Imperial Monarch's mind. Breaking the seals will definitely attract his attention. I haven't recovered to my peak, so I can't go out for now."
As he spoke, a screen of light appeared in front of the two eyes. It was the person who was training on the Celestial Demon Path.
Ye Xingchen did not know that in the deepest part of the underground palace, a terrifying battle had erupted. At this moment, he had opened his 19th acupoint, and his physical strength had increased greatly. It was extremely sturdy. Even with just his physical strength alone, he could fight against a Lesser Celestial martial artist.
"My physical body has opened the 19th acupoint. Based on how sturdy my physical body is, it has reached its limit. I need some time to stabilize it. Next, I should train the Great Sun Dharma Power and try to break through to the ultimate Dharma stage."
Ye Xingchen walked towards the depths of the Celestial Demon Path with difficulty. When he was tired, he would use his technique to regulate his breathing, consume some elixirs, and then continue forward.
Unknowingly, he had walked 360 feet, far surpassing Yue Changge, Gu Tianyi, and the others.
Shui Yunxin, Feng Mo, and the others also stepped into the vortex not long after Ye Xingchen and the others. They stepped onto the Celestial Demon Path and underwent training.
If one were to look down from the sky, one would be able to see many figures walking on a blurry ancient path with great difficulty.
Ye Xingchen released the Great Sun Dharma Power, enduring the corrosion of the three types of energy to train the Great Sun Dharma Power.
Time passed slowly. One day, two days … It was only on the fifth day that Ye Xingchen finally retreated from the Celestial Demon Path.
The others could not last for so long. They would only last one to four hours on the Celestial Demon Path before retreating.
Even Yue Changge, Gu Tianyi, and the others could only last for two days.
In five days, Ye Xingchen had walked 360 feet. The further he went on the Celestial Demon Path, the stronger the corrosion and the faster the speed.
After five days of training, the Great Sun Dharma Power had become even more condensed. It was like a sun, releasing millions of rays of light in the sky.
In the square previously, Yue Changge had used the Shoot the Sky Bow together with the White Rainbow Arrow to pierce through the palm of the Dharma Power. If he shot the same arrow now, he would not be able to pierce through the palm of the Great Sun Dharma Power.
After resting for a day, Ye Xingchen once again stepped onto the Celestial Demon Path. The others were impressed by his diligence.
In the blink of an eye, another few days had passed. Ye Xingchen had walked a distance of thousands of feet on the Celestial Demon Path, far surpassing the others.
His Great Sun Dharma Power had now grown to 1,070 feet. It was only one more foot away from reaching the ultimate Dharma stage.
He took out a seventh-grade spiritual medicine that he had just obtained in the Spirit Herb Garden and swallowed it.
"Boom!"
Terrifying Spiritual Qi flowed through his body. Ye Xingchen mobilized his inner power and sent the Spiritual Qi into the Great Sun Dharma Power.
He wanted to use the corrosive power of the Celestial Demon Path to refine his Spiritual Qi and break through to the ultimate Dharma stage.
Ten hours later, Ye Xingchen felt that his Great Sun Dharma Power had reached a limit. It had come into contact with a thin layer. As long as he could break through this thin layer, he would be able to enter the ultimate Dharma stage.
Ye Xingchen recalled the records of the Great Sun Dharma Power in his mind. He took another seventh-grade spiritual medicine and circulated the energy in the Great Sun Dharma Power.
"Boom!"
As if the heavens and earth were being split apart, the Great Sun Dharma Power broke through its limit and finally grew to 1,080 feet, reaching the ultimate Dharma stage.
In an instant, the Great Path of the heavens and earth resonated.
