BXBX NOVEL Chapter 260: 226 Saint Path_1
In heaven and earth, only he stood supremely alone.
The five grand sovereigns, who moments before possessed a sky-high aura, now found themselves mired in their own quagmires.
Yet the Black and White Heavenly King remained indifferent from beginning to end.
This couldn’t truly be called a fierce battle.
It was an utter and complete overwhelming crush!
With a raise of his hand, the five kings bowed their heads!
“I will not kill you because Xiao Wu Ji once said that you would die at the hands of another.”
The Black and White Heavenly King spoke indifferently,
“You joined forces against Xiao Wu Ji, so someone will bring his sword to behead you.”
“Begone.”
Upon hearing this, the five grand sovereigns swiftly retreated without hesitation!
“Black White… no matter how strong you are, you are ultimately just a layer of human skin. When your path ends, the great vengeance of today shall be exacted at the front of your tomb!”
Xuanming Heavenly King left behind a harsh statement, then vanished!
“Quickly, flee…”
King Ming Luo and Olin Heavenly King turned and ran even faster!
“Karma…”
Antuo Heavenly King’s mouth was filled with blood, which he viciously wiped away and said,
“I will remember this karma!”
With those words, he disappeared.
And that old monk’s figure faded even more and then he was gone as well!
The five kings had fled!
The entire Void Sea Domain returned to tranquility in an instant.
The Black and White Heavenly King stood with his hands behind his back and looked up at the sky, suddenly heaving a sigh.
“Saint Descent is approaching, how I truly wish to venture into the ‘Yang Ban’ lands once more…”
“What a pity.”
Regret appeared on his face.
But this sense of regret quickly disappeared.
He turned around, gazing at Dugu Yuqing and others hidden in secrecy, revealing a slight smile, he said,
“To be able to meet such predecessors, what more could I possibly regret?”
With a wave of his hand, Dugu Yuqing and the others reemerged from their hidden place.
In the presence of the Black and White Heavenly King, the faces of Dugu Yuqing and the others were filled with solemnity!
This was truly a supremely powerful being!
Even reduced to just a shred of human skin, a mere thought from him still possessed supreme elegance, causing the five kings to perish with a mere gesture!
“Truly worthy of being a legendary figure among the Immortal Kings…”
Dugu Yuqing couldn’t help but mutter to himself.
“So powerful; among the Celestial Kings and Immortal Kings, he simply crushes the others!”
Qing Chen spoke with a tone of gravity!
“Thank you, Senior, for demonstrating the path of chess to Jiang Li!”
At this time, Jiang Li bowed deeply with respect.
He had observed the Black and White Heavenly King’s chess play and gained some insights.
“No need to thank me. That predecessor behind you has already given you a supreme path. My teachings are merely to add bricks and mortar to it.”
The Black and White Heavenly King merely smiled faintly.
“Senior… was the predecessor, Limitless, harmed by those Immortal Kings just now?”
At this moment, Dugu Yuqing asked.
Ever since he received the remnant sword of the Infinite Sword King, he had one thought in his heart.
Vengeance!
To avenge the Infinite Sword King!
“Yes, these people will be left to you. I believe that before long, you will be able to do as Xiao Wu Ji said, cutting through the Immortal Domain and slaying Immortal Kings.”
The Black and White Heavenly King smiled and regarded Dugu Yuqing with admiration.
“May I ask Senior, those Immortal Kings repeatedly mentioned the Sacred Dao, what is that?”
At this point, Qing Chen asked.
Many disciples had looks of confusion on their faces!
Upon hearing this, the Black and White Heavenly King was taken aback and said,
“You do not know of the Saint Path?!”
He seemed quite astonished.
“We do not.”
Qing Chen and the others shook their heads.
Hearing this, the Black and White Heavenly King fell into deep contemplation and said, “Did that predecessor not tell you?”
In his view, there clearly existed an exceedingly terrifying presence behind Qing Chen and the others!
Surely standing within the realm of the Saint Path.
Moreover, to have taught so many peerless geniuses, it must be an extraordinary individual.
For such a being, the Saint Path was merely beneath his feet!
And yet, the disciples of such a figure were unaware of the Saint Path?
“To report to Senior, my master lives secluded among the common dust, does not dwell on matters of cultivation, and regards himself as a mortal. Thus, although he imparts the great way to us, he never discusses matters of cultivation with us.”
Jiang Li explained.
Upon hearing this, the Black and White Heavenly King’s face revealed a deep respect and he said,
“To live secluded among the common dust, not dwelling on matters of cultivation, regarding oneself as a mortal… such an existence is truly transcendent, exceedingly so!”
He spoke with a sense of awe and whispered,
“Perhaps, this being has already reached the other shore? The true freedom, the ultimate ease… likely to endure through hundreds of lifetimes without perishing!”
Considering this, he looked at Jiang Li and the others with an expression full of solemn gravity and asked,
“May I inquire if your esteemed teacher… is a member of the Human Race?”
He even seemed a bit anxious!
The Human Race?
What sort of question was that?
Jiang Li and the others nodded in response.
“Great fortune, what great fortune!”
The Black and White Heavenly King then began to laugh heartily, exclaiming,
“I understand now, I understand. In this life, even though calamities may befall us, with this predecessor here, there is surely a glimmer of hope…”
He stared at Dugu Yuqing and the others and said,
“And this predecessor has taken you under his wing, evidently intending for you to be involved in the upcoming great calamity, to quell the chaos!”
His voice even bore a hint of excitement!
“Calamity?”
“Quelling chaos?”
Dugu Yuqing and others looked at each other in bewilderment, filled with question marks!
The Black and White Heavenly King began to explain,
“Within the Cultivator’s Realm, the Immortal Path is not the ultimate, rather just the beginning!”
“Beyond Hongmeng, lies the domain of the Saint Path.”
“Do you all know that in the original world, there were countless Holy Dao powers, and they held the Saint Path Origin Springs in their hands!”
“The Saint Path Origin Spring is the key to entering the Sacred Dao Domain… Countless Immortal Kings spent their lives in arduous pursuit of but a sliver of the Saintly Way Law.”
He sighed deeply!
“Then, why are there no Holy Dao powers in the world? Even within the Immortal Domain, the Immortal Kingdoms are considered the pinnacle…”
Jiang Li wondered.
“Because when disaster struck, those Holy Dao powers fled. Carrying the Saint Path Origin Springs with them, they escaped to a Secret Place, only returning during the peaceful years after the calamity had passed.”
The Black and White Heavenly King said, “This time, they should come back.”
There was a trace of wistfulness on his face.
In past years, he had searched and waited tirelessly.
Waiting for those Holy Dao powers to return with the Saint Path Origin Springs.
Only by doing so could he step into the Sacred Dao Domain.
But alas…
Until the time of his death, he had never seen their return.
Upon hearing this, Dugu Yuqing and the others were greatly shaken.
So that was the case?
“Senior, is the calamity that forced the Holy Dao powers to flee the same as the ‘Immortal Great Calamity’ you’re referring to?”
Jiang Li continued to inquire.
The Black and White Heavenly King shook his head and said,
“It is not. That great disaster spans the ancient, present, and future, the long river of time… As to what it truly is, I have not yet fathomed, nor do I have the qualifications to know… Perhaps in the future, I might understand a thing or two…”
His words were imbued with profound heaviness.
Dugu Yuqing and the others felt even more solemn, realizing that even a powerful being like the Black and White Heavenly King was not yet qualified to know.
The King of Black and White continued to speak, saying:
“However, the so-called Immortal Great Calamity is actually trivial, simply caused by the return of the Holy Dao powers.”
“This world has suffered from the disappearance of the Saint Path Origin Springs, leading to deficiencies in the Immortal Path as well. The immortality, Immortal Kings, and even Immortal Heavenly Kings that people attain are all flawed.”
“It can be said that what’s in the Immortal Domain now are merely fake immortals, fake Immortal Kings.”
“When the Saint Path Origin Springs reappear, the Heavenly Dao will be made whole. The pretenders will face the Heaven’s Will Blade. The mythical thunder tribulations from ancient legends will reemerge, and few will survive them…”
“Therefore, these imposters have termed it the ‘Immortal Great Calamity,’ when in fact, they are just cowards!”
His words were filled with scorn!
“Those Holy Dao powers, before escaping to their Secret Place, always left behind some clan members, seeds, so that they could find their way back… For those related to the Holy Dao powers, they refer to the Immortal Great Calamity as ‘Saint Descent.\'”
“The Four Great Heavenly Realms are nothing but markers left by the Holy Dao powers.”
The Black and White Heavenly King casually looked towards Ji Yuanqing below the void, and said:
“He must be one of the Seven Sacred Veins of the Human Race from the Ji Family lineage.”
Upon hearing this, Dugu Yuqing and the others were astounded!
Above the path of the Immortals, there exists the Saint Path!
“The Four Great Heavenly Realms… are merely markers…”
“How formidable must those Holy Dao powers be?”
“Senior Ji… turned out to be a descendant of the Holy Dao powers…”
Everyone had complex expressions!
“Then, this means that we, we too will have to face the Heaven’s Will Blade in the future, no? The Immortal Great Calamity… It seems incredibly daunting.”
Lu Rang spoke with a complex expression on his face!
Upon hearing this, the Black and White Heavenly King almost spat out a mouthful of blood and said:
“You’re afraid???”
He scrutinized Lu Rang from head to toe and said:
“Do you know why those people from the Three Great Heavenly Realms call the Immortal Great Calamity the ‘Saint Descent’?”
“Because with the return of the Holy Dao powers, they can receive some Saintly Way Laws, assisting them to overcome their tribulations and become true immortals, true Immortal Kings, and then enter the Saint Path.”
“As for you… The Holy Dao within you has already reached an extreme concentration. If my true self were here, I might even covet it!”
He looked at them disdainfully!
These youngsters were just too, too excessive!
When he was young, he traversed heaven and earth, braving forbidden lands numerous times.
Yet, he never found so much as a shadow of the Saint Path. Even the remnants of Saintly edicts left by Holy Dao powers were not enough for his use.
But today, these people before him… every single one of them was practically raised on the Saint Path!
Literally walking treasures of the Saint Path!
And yet here they were, fearful of the Immortal Great Calamity?
Too shameless!
Dugu Yuqing and the others were shocked upon hearing this.
Their bodies… contained the Saint Path??
“Could it be that my master… is not an Immortal King…”
Lu Rang was somewhat dumbfounded.
He had always thought his master was a powerful Immortal King!
Unexpected!
“My master is truly extraordinary…”
Jiang Li was full of complexity.
“My master has painstakingly taken care of us. He was afraid we would become arrogant, which is why he didn’t tell us!”
Lin Jiu Zheng stated with conviction!
“The Sacred Dao Domain… my master was actually in the Sacred Dao Domain…”
Everyone had a sudden realization, and their admiration for Li Fan grew even stronger!
“Could it be that my master’s grand scheme, even Immortal Kings are not qualified to partake in it? Is he targeting… the Holy Dao powers?”
Jiang Li murmured.
“Senior, could you lead me to meet him?”
At this moment, the Black and White Heavenly King spoke again!
“Of course!”
Jiang Li and the others did not refuse.
“What about them…”
At this moment, Dugu Yuqing pointed to the multitude of armies below!
Now, those Celestial Monarchs and others were prostrated, trembling!
“These people serve the great enemy of the Human Race. Let them, along with the Three Great Heavenly Realms, disappear!”
He waved his hand, and suddenly, the multitude of armies below, with no chance to utter a scream, were instantly turned to dust!
Annihilated!
And the Three Great Heavenly Realms, at this very moment, exploded with a bang, like three immense fireworks blooming in the tranquil Void Sea Domain!
The Three Great Heavenly Realms… annihilated!
Witnessing this scene, Dugu Yuqing and the others were staggered.
Is this the might of a true Immortal Heavenly King?
A single thought arises, and the Myriad Realms are extinguished!
“Shall we go?”
The Black and White Heavenly King spoke.
“Let’s go!”
Jiang Li and the others nodded.
Instantly, they vanished from the spot.
