Chapter 889 - 616: Crushing the Peers

A thousand years pass in the blink of an eye.

The Three Extremes Dao Assembly begins as scheduled.

This is the summit gathering of the younger generation in the Three Extremes Domain, attended by celestial prodigies under three thousand years old, where demons emerge in great numbers.

Below the platform, a cloud sea surges, adorned by scattered rays of multicolored light, presenting a magnificent spectacle.

Above the Dao Platform, amidst the clouds, rows of floating jade couches are arranged irregularly.

Figures sit silently, Dao Rhymes around them thick as mountains, their aura unfathomable.

Though no words are exchanged, an invisible pressure permeates the air—each one a Dharma Master from the Three Great Immortal Mansions.

On the left jade couch, Dharma Master Qingxuan scans the crowd below, his voice gentle:

"Today marks the start of the Three Extremes Dao Assembly. All fellow Daoists, behold, this generation’s Fenghua surpasses the previous. Indeed, new talents emerge in the realm, proving the old adage true."

On the right, Dharma Master of Beiji Immortal Mansion, the Flame Sovereign, nods lightly, a faint red flame flickering around him, his tone slightly proud:

"Qingxuan’s words hold true."

"In this assembly, my Beiji indeed nurtures a few promising ones, especially my direct disciple—Liu Chengyu, who stands out the most."

He spoke with pride about his disciple’s past achievements.

The Dharma Masters nodded in approval or pondered silently.

Some whispered comments about Liu Chengyu’s past feats, while others pondered whether their disciples could compete.

Above the clouds, the atmosphere of tranquility subtly shifted with ripples of intrigue.

At the topmost, the incarnations of the Daoist Monarchs from the Three Lineages sat on the highest jade throne, their Dao Rhymes ethereal, merging seamlessly with the heavens.

Amidst them, Qin Jianghai cast a casual glance at those below, refraining from speaking, simply listening quietly.

Being the leaders of the Three Extremes, they gathered on the occasion of opening the Taihuang Realm.

Between casual banter, they decided upon matters crucial to the future of the Three Extremes Domain, with every sentence holding the potential to shift the world’s pattern.

...

Time quietly passed, and the Dao Assembly progressed swiftly.

An old and deep voice slowly emerged from the depths of the clouds:

"At the conclusion of the Dao Assembly, the final battle—Zhang Xingdao versus Liu Chengyu!"

Before the words settled, a sharp sound sliced through the air, like a meteor falling, akin to a spark igniting vast plains.

Liu Chengyu darted forth, merging with his expanding Dao Domain, flames soaring skyward, dyeing the entire cloud sea a scorching gold-red.

With his tall figure, red robe billowing, the Taiyang Domain unfolded around him, resembling a miniature sun suspended above the Dao Platform, its brilliance overwhelming, devouring the landscape.

As the direct disciple of Beiji Immortal Mansion’s Flame Sovereign, he had long comprehended the Taiyang Domain, his combat prowess reaching the fourth tribulation realm of Void Refining.

On the other side of the Dao Platform, Chen Sheng approached with steady steps.

Beneath his feet, a pristine white lotus quietly bloomed, its petals gleaming with a faint moonlight.

With each step, the lotus trembled, stepping upon a cloud, falling into the void.

A strand of clear yet rich Taiyin Dao Rhyme quietly spread from the lotus petals, like a cold pool reflecting the moon, serene yet vast.

In the sky above, atop the highest throne, the eyes of the three Daoist Monarchs, originally ethereal and indifferent, now condensed slightly, showing intrigue.

The Taigu Daoist Monarch clapped lightly, laughing, his voice clear, penetrating the clouds:

"Taiyin versus Taiyang, interesting!"

"Jianghai, you specialize in the Path of Yin Yang, deeply understanding its mysteries. Tell us, which of these two will win?"

Qin Jianghai chuckled:

"Naturally, I favor my South Pole Lineage’s disciple. Beiming, with such an intriguing duel, shall we wager a bet?"

Beiming Daoist Monarch heard this and shook his head:

"In a match destined for defeat, I don’t gamble."

The Taigu Daoist Monarch laughed heartily, the Dao Pattern of the Emperor Dao flowing around him, his tone carefree: "Beiming, you are indeed straightforward and carefree."

As the three joked, the battle on the Dao Platform erupted.

Fierce combat began with a roar.

Liu Chengyu’s eyes shone with blazing firelight, his voice echoing through the void.

Boom——

His Solar Dao Fire suddenly surged, red light shooting skyward, transforming into a fire dragon, scales and claws cast in iron, its mouth swallowing flames, charging forward with heaven-burning force.

Where the fire dragon passed, the air twisted and boiled, space cracking into a dense web of chaos Qi threads, igniting instantly.

Powerful beyond compare, extraordinarily domineering!

Faced with such a wild onslaught, Chen Sheng remained placid, unmoving.

He simply lifted a finger gently.

Zheng——

The ice lotus bloomed instantly, spreading a moonlight-like glow.

Thousands of lotus petals danced in mid-air, transforming into icy blades, wrapped in Taiyin Dao Rhymes, silently meeting the attack.

No deafening roar, only a long, silent tremor.

Buzz——

The moment the ice blades touched the fire dragon.

The Solar Dao Fire, known for consuming anything, melted and scattered like snow meeting a cold spring, dissolving at the fundamental level.

Liu Chengyu’s pupils shrank abruptly, his heart spirit shook immensely:

"Impossible!"

He gritted his teeth, urging the fire Dao essence, flames re-erupting around him.

Growl——

The Taiyang Domain fully expanded, red light consuming the Dao Platform, a Heaven-Burning flame long saber manifested, its blade etched with Dao patterns, slashing down furiously.

"Kill!"

Before the saber wind arrived, space already sunk and distorted.

Chen Sheng still remained calm, Taiyin Dao Rhymes enveloping him like moonlit water, forming a layer of clear barrier.

Clang——

The flame long saber struck the barrier.

The saber’s flames froze instantly, spreading an icy shell...

Simultaneously, Chen Sheng finally moved.

His figure flashed, like a breeze crossing the realm, instantly appearing before Liu Chengyu, lightly tapping his chest.

Poof——

The Solar Dao Domain around Liu Chengyu disintegrated instantly, the flames extinguished.

The whole person fell like a severed kite, crashing heavily onto the Dao Platform, then completely frozen.

...

Below the Dao Platform, above the cloud sea, silence prevailed.

All Dharma Masters’ composure disperse, initially anticipating a fierce struggle, only to witness an effortlessly decisive win instead.

Moments later, above the clouds, a Dharma Master was the first to applaud, his voice loud:

"What an extraordinary Zhang Xingdao! Such talent, a promising future!"

"Indeed, indeed!"

Another Dharma Master nodded in agreement, eyes full of praise:

"Such talent is rare throughout history!"

For a while, the Dharma Masters among the clouds spoke warmly, full of optimism.

In the sky above, the three Daoist Monarchs smiled lightly.

Beiming Daoist Monarch nodded:

"This boy’s abilities far exceed Chengyu’s. In the future, he might become the flagship figure of the young generation in the Three Extremes Domain."

The Taigu Daoist Monarch clapped:

"Indeed, new talents continually emerge in the Three Extremes Domain."

On the Dao Platform.

Not long after, Liu Chengyu emerged from the icy crystal, his face ashen, deeply bowing to Chen Sheng, his expression solemn:

"Liu is outmatched."

"Someday, I’ll seek you again for a rematch!"

Chen Sheng nodded slightly, a subtle smile on his face, elegant:

"I’ll be waiting."

With those words, the lotus around him rose again as he gracefully walked off the Dao Platform, accompanied by the soft white Dao Rhymes.

Thus, the Three Extremes Dao Assembly gradually came to an end.

Through one battle, Chen Sheng ascended to godhood, ultimately overpowering Beiji Immortal Mansion’s prodigy Liu Chengyu, claiming the absolute undisputed top spot, securing eligibility to cultivate in the Taihuang Realm.

...

Elsewhere.

Zhang Clan Ancestral Land.

Zhang Danqing found that his clan’s troubles had vanished without a trace.

He was not surprised, after all, the Zhang Clan now had a monstrous prodigy whose future as a Dharma Master was promising!!
