Chapter 581 - 424: Forcefully Evolving 7 Elements

Xu Qing stared silently at the old Daoist before him, his heart filled with emotion. He could hardly believe that the Human Race Taoist Ancestor, who once stood at the very pinnacle of the Sea of Chaos, was now trapped here for endless ages.

This once again illustrated the principle that there were always new heights to reach and always someone stronger.

The Human Race Taoist Ancestor.

In his era, in his time.

He was a being who stood at the absolute apex, unrivaled by any. He had even managed to forcibly break through the final Chaos Great Tribulation and barge his way onto the Only True Path before it was officially opened.

However, what greeted the Taoist Ancestor was not the path to the Unique True Realm, but an eternity of imprisonment. Without having stepped into the Tenth Realm, he was forcibly confined to this room of less than one hundred square meters.

And just like that, he had waited for endless ages.

HUUUH...

Xu Qing took a deep breath, calming the emotions in his heart. He looked at the Taoist Ancestor and asked, "So, the Martial Ancestor, the Sword Ancestor, the Master of Ten Thousand Paths... are they all here?"

"Yes."

The Taoist Ancestor nodded. "I am your first opponent. The Martial Ancestor, the Sword Ancestor, and the Ancestor of Ten Thousand Paths are waiting for you beyond me. Only by defeating me will you get to face them."

"Of course," the Taoist Ancestor added in a calm tone, "it is impossible for you to defeat me."

"I understand."

WOOOM! WOOOM! WOOOM!

The moment he finished speaking, Xu Qing understood that further words were meaningless.

And so, an incomparably powerful aura erupted from around Xu Qing. The full Power of his Pseudo-Tenth Realm was unleashed in that instant, and one True Artifact after another materialized around him.

The Level 10 True Artifact: Thousand Dao Transformations; the Level 10 Space-Time Treasure Tower; the Level 10 Carefree Sword; and the Level 10 Sword Array Map.

BOOM! BOOM!

At the same time, Xu Qing unleashed his powerful True Techniques.

"The Pseudo-Tenth Realm."

The Taoist Ancestor’s expression was pensive, though he still hadn’t turned around. "You have indeed reached such a Realm. The ’Pseudo-Tenth Realm’ and the ’Tenth Realm’ are separated by only a single word, yet the difference between them is like that of heaven and earth."

"If I had been able to step into the ’Tenth Realm’, I would not have been trapped here all this time."

BOOM!

With a single thought, a supremely powerful Supreme Treasure slowly materialized above the Taoist Ancestor’s head. This was the very Supreme Treasure that he had been nurturing since the day he attained the Dao.

Its name: the Daoist Ancestor Jade Disc.

This object was originally from the Sea of Chaos, but after endless eons of refinement by the Taoist Ancestor, it had gradually transformed and evolved into a genuine True Artifact.

It could be said that this was a True Artifact nurtured into existence by the Taoist Ancestor himself.

A feat of unparalleled Creation.

"Go!"

WOOOM!

With a thought, Xu Qing waved his right hand, sending the Level 10 Sword Array Map flying out. But before it could even get close to the Taoist Ancestor, the Daoist Ancestor Jade Disc simply trembled, sending out waves of light.

In an instant, the Level 10 Sword Array Map was blasted away.

The gap was too great.

CLANG!

The cry of a sword rang out.

Xu Qing made a Sword Pointing gesture, and the Level 10 Carefree Sword slashed out. The formidable might of his Sword Dao descended, striking the Taoist Ancestor’s Jade Disc head-on.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

The sound of explosions erupted.

The Mighty Power of the Daoist Ancestor Jade Disc was extraordinary. The Level 10 Carefree Sword alone was naturally not enough to shatter it; the power of the attack only managed to create a series of ripples across the Jade Disc’s surface.

"Still not enough."

The Taoist Ancestor shook his head. "If this is the extent of your strength, you should abandon this futile struggle."

"Taoist Ancestor," Xu Qing smiled faintly, "this battle has only just begun."

BOOM!

The next moment, the Level 10 Space-Time Treasure Tower descended, crashing down upon the Daoist Ancestor Jade Disc. The Jade Disc wavered, emitting innumerable rays of Dao light to fend off Xu Qing’s assault.

"Thousand Dao Transformations! Endless Sword!"

CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!!

With a sharp cry, Xu Qing waved his right hand. The Level 10 True Artifact: Thousand Dao Transformations shot through the air, transforming into one hundred twenty-nine thousand, six hundred swords of Thousand Dao Transformations.

"Go!!"

Xu Qing flicked his Sword Pointing, and the one hundred twenty-nine thousand, six hundred swords surged through the air, combining to form the Thousand Dao Transformation Sword Array.

The Taoist Ancestor was finally alarmed. His hands flew into a series of seals as countless rays of Dao light flared. The Daoist Ancestor Jade Disc began to vibrate, rapidly transforming to form countless Tao Arrays.

"Fall!"

RUMBLE!

The Thousand Dao Transformation Sword Array descended, clashing head-on with the Taoist Ancestor and his Jade Disc, creating a cacophony of explosions and rumbles.

The Daoist Ancestor Jade Disc was vibrating even more violently.

"Kill!"

Xu Qing shouted, his gaze turning cold and his Battle Intent surging as he charged toward the Taoist Ancestor. One Root Source Grotto Heaven after another manifested around him, each one emanating an exceedingly powerful Root Power.

Six streams of Root Power merged into one, transforming into a beam of light that shot toward the Taoist Ancestor.

"Dao Seal!"

BOOM!

The Taoist Ancestor’s hands formed a seal, unleashing the powerful True Technique he had mastered. His understanding of the Dao had already reached an Extreme, an inconceivable Realm.

Therefore, the Taoist Ancestor had fused thousands of Taoist Skills to create a technique that transcended all others, stepping into the realm of True Techniques and evolving the Dao Seal into a supremely powerful art.

It could be said that the Dao Seal Technique was all-encompassing.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!!!

Gradually, the battle between Xu Qing and the Taoist Ancestor reached a fever pitch. The Taoist Ancestor wielded only a single True Artifact—the Daoist Ancestor Jade Disc—and a single True Technique—the Dao Seal Technique.

However, the Taoist Ancestor’s combat prowess and strength had reached an unbelievable level. Xu Qing had unleashed multiple True Artifacts and a variety of True Techniques.

And yet, Xu Qing was still unable to completely overcome the Taoist Ancestor’s Dao Seal Technique and Daoist Ancestor Jade Disc. It was clear that the Taoist Ancestor had truly achieved an unfathomable realm of profound Creation.
