Chapter 2177 - 2176: Crossing into the Million Great Path, Defeating the Candle Dragon

When these two forces collided.

Everything between heaven and earth seemed to cease to exist.

Nothing could survive under the power of these two forces.

Even the Heaven-reaching Mirror used by the Nine-Turned Dharma King to watch the battle, with a "crack" sound.

It shattered into countless pieces.

"What was the outcome?" someone curiously asked.

"Who won and who lost?"

"A strong person, a true strong person is none other than this!"

Someone's soul was shaken, someone's spirit was yearning.

But most people still wanted to know the result.

In the collision of infinitely powerful forces, who truly won and who lost.

...…

Above the firmament, after Candle Dragon gathered all its strength for the battle against Xu Zimei.

A deep and unfathomable black hole appeared in the void.

This is because under such strong forces, the void couldn't recover, resulting in such a black hole.

The black hole continued to expand, and beneath it, the figures of Xu Zimei and Candle Dragon slowly emerged.

At this moment, both were severely injured.

It can be said without exaggeration that there was not a single place unharmed on their bodies.

Under such powerful forces, no one could escape unscathed.

"Refreshing," Xu Zimei laughed heartily.

Although he was also seriously injured, he showed no fear whatsoever.

On the contrary, the power around him grew even stronger.

The grandeur belonging to the Hundred Thousand Paths was surging forward, almost touching the edge of the Million Great Path.

"Not enough, still lacking," Xu Zimei murmured to himself.

He stood up, and the Demonic Qi around him burst forth once again.

"Once more!"

The Tyrant Shadow in Xu Zimei's hand carried all the strength.

"Ninth of the Demonic Ten Skills, Earth Demon Technique"

[Harbinger of All Disasters]

At this moment, Xu Zimei seemed to be the Dominator of heaven and earth.

No matter what disaster, all were under his control.

Tsunamis, landslides, tornadoes, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, sinking of the Dead Sea...

All disasters were magnified by Demonic Qi, becoming increasingly terrifying.

These were magnified versions of disasters.

"Boom, boom."

All disasters rushed toward Candle Dragon.

Xu Zimei's aura grew stronger; just his aura alone was enough to oppress everything.

In contrast to Xu Zimei's increasingly strong aura, Candle Dragon's aura was relatively weaker.

The saying goes, strike while the iron is hot, but once weakened, thrice exhausted.

At this moment, Candle Dragon had gathered all its strength but still could not overpower Xu Zimei.

Its aura weakened.

Facing countless disasters coming to annihilate him.

Candle Dragon could only muster all its strength to fight once more.

"Wildfire Rampage"

Flames erupted around Candle Dragon.

Representing all the flames in the world.

At this moment, he used the ten suns in the firmament as the foundation and the mountains and rivers below as traction.

Everything in this world became his basic foundation.

Even if he couldn't defeat Xu Zimei, he could still stand undefeated, not fearing him.

Candle Dragon's idea was that both would end in a draw, which was the best outcome.

Unfortunately, he underestimated Xu Zimei's willpower and his determination to win this contest, thus advancing into the Million Great Path.

...…

"Boom, boom"

The fire foundation defended against the incoming disasters as both forces clashed continuously.

Candle Dragon was also unafraid of Xu Zimei.

Because his foundation was too stable, with mountains, rivers, and ten suns.

It was an inseparable whole.

Regardless of the disasters, he stood unyielding.

Like a small boat on the ocean, unmoved by the crashing waves.

"Demon Lord, how about we call a truce?"

Candle Dragon voluntarily suggested.

"Neither of us can overpower the other—it's a draw."

"Who says I can't overpower you."

Xu Zimei laughed heartily, raising the Tyrant Shadow once more.

"Boom."

The ultimate Blade Qi and Demonic Qi merged into one.

"The final style of the Demonic Ten Skills, Heavenly Demon Technique"

[Challenger of the Heavens]

Since ancient times, there have been countless strong people, numerous who sought to defeat the Great Dao.

Unfortunately, they all became the failed challengers of the Great Dao.

"I am the Great Dao; this Dao is the Demonic Path."

Xu Zimei never knew the intention of the previous Demon Lord when creating this move.

Was it to replace the Great Dao with the Demonic Path, or some other idea.

He didn't need to know anymore.

At this moment, he was like the Great Dao, overlooking all, gazing down upon the firmament.

The Demonic Path was the unique Great Dao.

When Xu Zimei's aura reached its pinnacle, the power belonging to the Demonic Path continuously surged upward.

At this moment, the Hundred Thousand Paths were strengthening it.

As if soaring to the clouds, ascending to the utmost heights.

Xu Zimei's aura broke through wave after wave.

Like a wave surging one after another.

"Boom, boom"

At a certain moment, under the enhancement of the Demonic Path, Xu Zimei finally broke through the Hundred Thousand Paths, reaching the Million Great Path.

At this moment, the Million Great Path was like an expansive deep ocean.

The sea of paths, infinite and boundless.

Enhanced by the Million Great Path, Xu Zimei seemed to enter an entirely new realm.

At this moment, it was the right stage to use the final Heavenly Demon Technique.

"Heavenly Demon Technique."

"Boom."

The Heavenly Demons running rampant, Power of the Great Dao descending from the heavens.

At this moment, the entire firmament was a dance of demons.

Heaven and earth were tumultuous.

Seeing this unstoppable power like a torrent.

Candle Dragon's expression changed dramatically.

"I concede!"

"Boom."

The strike Xu Zimei forcefully redirected, originally aimed at Candle Dragon, grazed past his shoulder instead.

...…

The mighty power exploded.

Behind Candle Dragon, the vast expanse of heavens crumbled completely.

It was thoroughly destroyed.

Candle Dragon's face changed dramatically, sweat unknowingly forming on his forehead.

The power of this strike was simply too strong.

First, because it was the last strike of the Demonic Ten Skills, and also the peak strike.

Transforming human power into the Demonic Path.

Second, because Xu Zimei just broke through to the Million Great Path, his strongest period.

With both factors combined, Candle Dragon realized he was no match.

Forcing a confrontation would be detrimental.

...…

Once the entirety of the strike's power was unleashed.

Xu Zimei also sheathed his blade and stood.

He looked at Candle Dragon, as his Million Great Path kept retracting.

Ultimately, all merged into Xu Zimei's body.

"Congratulations on achieving your vision," Candle Dragon said.

"It's just a small goal," Xu Zimei said.

His real aspiration, of course, was for higher, further goals.

Beyond the Million Great Path, the Ten Million Great Dao, and the Hundred Million Daos.

The Great Dao is boundless, only when there's no further progression can one challenge the Dao.

Though he didn't fear death, he refused to die without meaning.

After all, everyone desires true success.

"Thank you for being my whetstone," Xu Zimei said.
