Chapter 85: Tri-Immortal Slash, Acheron Water, Forbidden Place

Jiang Ming frowned. He knew a person like Tian Ci would be very hard to kill but never expected it to be this hard.

Tian Ci had three top-grade Dao Vessels for protection, a Puppet Substitution Talisman, three times protection from the Mystical Light Sword, and the protection from a Paradis guardian.

After killing Liu Yuan, the guardian, Ye Ming made his entrance. He was an Extreme Path expert who used to be an overwhelming genius from the past. As Ye Ming had also completely mastered the Spatial Dao, he could challenge an Imminent Immortal expert. Hence, he was indeed a terrifying character that stood atop the pinnacle of the world.

Even so, Tian Ci could have been completely taken down with the use of the Human Path Record’s layers of calculations. But at the last moment, yet another peerless expert emerged.

The aura from the person itself gave people a sense he had gone through the limits of many Daos, sending chills down people’s spines.

This man was obviously not an Extreme Path expert but one level above, an Imminent Immortal expert.

An Imminent Immortal could be labeled as a Pseudo Immortal or a Para-Immortal. This was akin to the Immortal of the mortal world. In other words, an Imminent Immortal was half a step beyond the mortal world, a real transcendence.

It never crossed Jiang Ming’s mind that the whole ordeal would invoke the appearance of such a formidable existence. It did not matter if Tian Ci was a distinctive genius. He was just a small character in the Dao Seed Realm.

Having a Paradis protector was already absurd. Then one of the Extreme Path experts joined the fray, and now even one of the Imminent Immortal experts appeared.

Damn! Was he God’s favorite?

“So what if he is in the Imminent Immortal Realm?”

Jiang Ming grabbed onto the Mystical Light Weapon in one hand while he clenched the other hand into a fist and charged onward.

His fist broke through the void itself, creating a dark hole in the process. Even the sky itself started to tremble and warp. Its strength was beyond imagination.

Bang!

The clashing of swords sent the old man flying backward. As he was pushed back with tremendous force, he left a huge deep trail and shattered countless mountain peaks along the way. By the time he came to a stop, he was already thousands of miles away.

“Such power?” exclaimed the old man. “You are only of the Extreme Path Realm, yet you manage to disperse such formidable strength? Is this because of absolute physique? Topping off with the Three-Fold Astral Transformation from the Infinite Alchemy Pavillion?”

“So what if it’s true?”

“Tri-Immortal Slash!” The old man simply twisted his neck and unleashed a formidable special ability. The luminous glow from its slash was akin to riding the waves of the galaxy, cutting through layers of space.

Jiang Ming was pushed back by it, but only a few hundreds of miles.

In his grip, the Mystical Light Sword was violently shaking as it tried to break free from him. Much to its dismay, after using up all three instances of power endowed to protect its master, how could it escape with only its own spiritual power left?

Jiang Ming tried to keep the sword back in his spatial ring, but the ring could not contain it. He could not contain the sword in his body without refining it either.

Just when Jiang Ming was in a dilemma, he suddenly looked at the Human Path Record. He had a sudden moment of inspiration and inserted the long sword straight into the Human Path Record. To his surprise, the sword went right into it.

Jiang Ming’s eyes gleamed brightly.

Among one of its pages, the symbol of a long sword appeared with a description: Mystical Weapon Mysterious Light Sword. Marked by an Immortal Being. When activated, it brings forth the strength of an Immortal Being.

Side Note 1: If used not by the owner, the person will be killed by the Immortal Beings power.

Side Note 2: Mana can be inserted into the weapon to cleanse the sword.

Jiang Ming’s mouth twitched upon reading the description.

This was a time bomb waiting to go off if not for the Human Path Record. If he activated the sword and the power of the Immortal Being trying to cut himself descended, that would have been a headache.

He punched forward with both his fists without hesitation and shattered the three sword attacks just like that, leaving only three white marks on his fists.

“Is that all?” Jiang Ming scowled as he launched himself at Tian Ci.

Ye Ming’s eyes gleamed. He wanted to rechallenge Jiang Ming, but he knew it was not the right time. He quickly grabbed Tian Ci, who had partially recovered, entered the void, and hurried back to the Tianyuan School.

“Take that again!” The old man’s attack had already come flying toward him. This time, the attack was wrapped in a blue aura.

Jiang Ming suddenly felt uneasy and quickly shifted his body, sidestepping into the air to avoid the attack.

“You insidious old thing!” Jiang Ming cursed at the old man.

Status: One of the strongest martial artists in the Tianyuan School. He was once a person of influence back in the days, loathed evils, and was the main force to subjugate the demons. As the Demons force weakened, he retreated in hiding to mediate and comprehend the Dao.

During meditation, he got a message from Ye Ming. He ripped apart space and came, saving Tian Ci in the nick of time. When Ye Ming informed him of the whole ordeal telepathically, he was shocked and acted without hesitation. After all, as a Supreme Elder of the Tianyuan School, how could he allow his school’s disciple to be bullied by others? Only he could be the one bullying the disciples!

‘The opponent can even withstand the attack from my Forged Immortal Weapon. His absolute physique and his formidable power are unheard of. There is only one way to tackle such a person. To permeate Dark Blue Archeron Water into the sword’s light, corroding his body, eroding his blood vessels, and subjugating him. We will bring him back to the school and investigate further on his background. If he is not of the devil sect, he can still be saved.’

If not for reading the opponent’s history, Jiang Ming would have fallen in his scheme. After all, his physical special ability was not equipped with any special spell.

 ‘I should go now!’ thought Jiang Ming as he lurched into the void.

“Trying to escape?” Liu Changkong’s sword attack came flying at him, heading straight into the void.

Jiang Ming turned over and launched the Great Akasa Formless Sword Qi. Used to its limits, the middle-graded Dao Vessel shattered into pieces.

Nine Instances of Sword Qi came rushing at Liu Changkong, causing the void to crumble and submerging him in it.

Meanwhile, Jiang Ming hid his aura with the help of the system and used the Human Path Records to cut off the enemy’s space-lock as he weaved through the layers of space.

After circling around a couple of times, he finally returned to Chuyang Peak quietly, heading back into his room.

“Three minutes, with only about 15 seconds left!” Jiang Ming was constantly keeping time.

It was then that he finally heaved out a breath of relief.

He then scanned through the sect with his consciousness and found out that the sect was still at war.

Gu Hai had returned to Chuyang Peak for support.

Meanwhile, Zi Linglong, with her formidable strength, weaved back and forth, slaughtering the Nascent Soul experts from the Bishui Sect. The enemies of Chuyang Peak were decimated regardless of their strength.

After getting rid of the last Nascent Soul expert, she continued launching attacks onto the last Primal Spirit expert that the Sect Master deterred.

‘The whole situation has been set!’ Jiang Ming thought and no longer paid attention.

He did not try to invoke any special ability but took the chance to allow his mind to slowly sink into the heavens and earth, assimilating the power of Time and the wonders of Karma.

This time, he could really feel the Sambodha in-depth, especially on the Karma Dao.

In order to kill Mo Lin, he had lured out Bai Zizai and also the Paradis Bishui Great Monarch. He had had no choice but to invoke the Three-Minute Extreme Path Experience Card.

After killing the enemy by force, he continued to hunt down Tian Ci. As a result, he had elicited Ye Ming and Liu Changkong.

The whole ordeal was so entangled it was hard to explain. This, however, was also a form of Karma.

Jiang Ming now possessed the power to suppress thousand Daos and had Dharma at sight to comprehend its essence slowly. Just like that, the wonders of Karma had slowly stepped into the correct doorway.

Jiang Ming shifted his focus, slowly unraveling the enigma of Time. If he manages to also step into the pathway toward the Time Dao, his Sambodha would truly be perfected. As for the rest of the Daos, it was only a matter of time before completion.

However, even with powers able to suppress thousand Daos, or even the ability to interrupt the cycle of orders, the power of Time still remained vague. It was like a flower reflected in a mirror, a reflection of the moon by the waters, very hard to see time for what it was truly.

In battles, fighters traded blows at a swift pace, but time moved very slowly. Yet, during enlightenment, time passed swiftly.

Jiang Ming suddenly trembled, and his face turned pale. Immense power was drawn away from him.

The eyes which peered into heaven and earth were enveloped by countless layers of curtains that impeded the essence of heaven and earth. Even the heart itself seemed to have become dimmer.

The feeling of immense weakness came surging at him, leaving Jiang Ming feeling as if he had grown very old, unable to lift even a finger.

In actuality, he could still shatter a mountain with his bare hands. But when compared to before, the difference was too big. He was unable to acclimate yet!

Releasing a breath filled with impurities, Jiang Ming closed his eyes as he started to readjust himself.

Inside the Jiuyang Sect…

After Zi Linglong and the Sect Master worked together to defeat the Primal Spirit expert, they returned to Chuyang Peak. They landed on top of Jiang Ming’s building with their hands holding on to their swords, protecting the place.

Meanwhile, in the Tianyuan School…

Upon returning to the Tianyuan School, Ye Ming ensured that Tian Ci was well taken care of and waited for Liu Changkong’s return. The two then went into the Forbidden Place and started deciphering what had happened.

“He mastered the Five Elemental Dao? Yin-Yang Dao? Light-and-Dark Dao? Life-and-Death Dao? Reincarnation Dao? Spatial Dao? Unbelievable! Even the hair on my arms stood tingling at the thought of it! If Tian Ci is like a bright star, then this person is akin to the whole universe itself!”

“His clones are intriguing, but the rest of his special abilities aren’t that many!”

“He has an invincible physique, yet he only just cast the Three-Fold Astral Transformation of the Infinite Alchemy Pavillion. He has not mastered other physical offensive special abilities!”

“Why did he try to kill Tian Ci?”

“Why does Tian Ci hold an immortal sword? It could even protect its master three times!”

“Tian Ci is an Immortal Fetus!”

“That person… is only of the human race, a pure human race. There’s no doubt about it!”

“What is the secret hidden in all this?”

There were many people in the palace of the Forbidden Place.. Each of them was in the Paradis Realm and above.
