Capítulo 1189: Chapter 65: The Ultimate Ascendant
“A top-tier Saint Emperor has fallen, it seems a victor will soon emerge…”
Wang Sheng naturally knew of the demise of a top-tier Saint Emperor.
This was the first powerful entity to fall at the hands of the Cultivator sent by the Corrosive Fate Dao.
He did not intervene.
Before these Cultivators set foot on the Creation Land, he had reminded them again, even top-tier Saint Emperors face the danger of falling.
Yet, they still resolutely stepped forward.
Even if they fell, he would not interfere.
The struggle on the path of destiny could never be completely safe.
Where there is a first, there will be a second.
In the subsequent century, top-tier Saint Emperors and Cultivators of the Corrosive Fate Dao continued to perish.
They advanced even as they fought.
Originally moving from different directions, the top-tier Saint Emperors gradually converged.
Yuanhua and Long Yue were among them.
Including them, there were a total of thirteen top-tier Saint Emperors.
Even as the thirteen top-tier Saint Emperors gathered, they did not immediately make a move.
Instead, they coldly observed each other.
“I assume each of you has encountered your own replica. I initially thought it was a Heart Demon, but it proved to be far more complicated. If one was defeated by such a being, they would be replaced.
Ladies and gentlemen, among us, there shouldn’t be such beings present, right? Such unclear beings do not deserve the Dao Fruit, and it’s best to purge them early.”
This was why the many Saint Emperors hesitated to make the first move.
They were aware that something unknown might have infiltrated.
Such a thing was too deceitful, and any rational Cultivator would agree to purge it.
However, the problem was, everyone present had seen such beings, and there was simply no way to distinguish them, leaving them hesitant and torn.
Having undergone centuries of trials, Long Yue understood the entity she encountered before was not a simple pretender but something much more deceitful, so she also supported the proposal.
Yet the dilemma remained, as no one could identify them.
The thirteen top-tier Saint Emperors exchanged glances.
At this moment, none would confess.
Long Yue closed her eyes, then suddenly opened them: “Since we can’t discern them, let’s proceed with the final contest. Fellow Daoists should sense the Dao Fruit has emerged, but hasn’t shown itself because we haven’t subdued all powerful entities. If we can’t differentiate, then fight! The outcome doesn’t matter if it’s a pretender or not!”
In Supreme City, Long Yue compelled everyone to reveal their strength.
And here, she initiated the battle once more.
“Daoist Long Yue, as expected of you, the Supreme Road’s trials have indeed changed you greatly!” Yuanhua spoke as he marveled at Long Yue’s progress.
“However, I very much agree with Daoist Long Yue’s proposal, if we can’t distinguish, let’s just fight!”
The battle erupted immediately, a chaotic fight among the twelve top-tier Saint Emperors.
Only the victor could obtain the Dao Fruit and attain the Supreme.
The commotion of the fight echoed throughout the Supreme Road.
Within Supreme City and on the four divided roads, every being felt an awakening in their hearts.
“The Supreme shall emerge!”
On the first day of the great battle, one top-tier Saint Emperor couldn’t bear the pressure and chose to retreat, eventually returning to Supreme City.
On the second day, another chose to withdraw.
Facing such quitters, none would pursue them during the battle.
Yet the second one hadn’t even reached Supreme City before being intercepted.
The one who intercepted was Wang Sheng.
“You must either be victorious and obtain the Dao Fruit, or die. Wasn’t this told to you before coming?” Wang Sheng smiled at the person before him, the top-tier Saint Emperor who left the Shattered Star Sacred Land, Tian Feng Saint Emperor, though the real him had already perished, replaced by a Corrosive Fate Dao practitioner.
Seeing Wang Sheng, “Tian Feng Saint Emperor” sighed and said, “True Saint, I have already merged, why can’t I continue to follow you?”
Evidently, the “Tian Feng Saint Emperor” before him did not wish to die.
“If you were truly Tian Feng, you’d understand that these matters don’t concern me, followers, to me, are dispensable.”
“Tian Feng Saint Emperor” gave a wry smile: “Indeed, seeking any advantage from True Saint is nearly impossible!”
Wang Sheng was not courteous, directly killing “Tian Feng Saint Emperor.”
After the kill, a mysterious energy emerged from the Void.
Wang Sheng was unsurprised.
This was the energy that appeared after he himself slew a top-tier Saint Emperor who had been successfully replaced, yet did not wish to compete for the Dao Fruit.
This energy only appeared when a practitioner of the Corrosive Fate Dao was slain, and only if he personally executed the kill, not when people like Long Yue did so.
He had yet to determine the reason, only suspecting it related to changes in the starry skies upon entering the Corrosive Fate Dao.
After research, he still couldn’t uncover the energy’s purpose.
But as it was related to the Corrosive Fate Dao, he didn’t dare use it recklessly, though he wouldn’t let it dissipate either, hence always personally sealing it away upon a kill.
Now unused, it might serve some purpose eventually.
After killing “Tian Feng Saint Emperor,” he continued to observe the contest.
He initially expected the final contest would be between a starry sky entity and a Corrosive Fate Dao practitioner.
But in reality, things unfolded unexpectedly.
Long Yue proved to be an entire realm stronger than the other Cultivators.
As she fought, she continually subdued her opponents.
Ultimately, she sent Yuanhua flying with a single palm strike.
Yuanhua steadied his injuries, realizing he was no match: “I never thought the final victor would be you, Long Yue.”
He couldn’t fathom it; Long Yue, once slightly weaker than him, now surpassed him by far.
Long Yue ignored Yuanhua’s compliments.
After defeating her last opponent, she felt a unique sense of understanding.
“So this is the Thirteen Realms… One truly doesn’t need the Dao Fruit to become Thirteen Realms.”
She realized her path, successfully proving her Dao in the bloodbath.
Without using the Dao Fruit, she naturally became an entity of the Thirteen Realms.
Seeing this, Wang Sheng was also somewhat surprised, then smiled: “I never imagined, in the first Dao Fruit contest, someone would walk into the Thirteen Realms by themselves… Do we need to select another?”
Thinking it over, he abandoned that choice.
Without becoming the victor, one could not obtain the Dao Fruit.
“I mustn’t break the rules I’ve set myself.”
Then, the Dao Fruit hidden within the Void emerged.
Long Yue looked at the Dao Fruit, now understanding what it truly was, having become one with the Thirteen Realms.
“True Saint, is this the reason you let us compete, to suppress destiny, naturally needing the strongest?”
Wang Sheng appeared at the right time: “Indeed, to become the one to suppress starry sky destiny, one cannot be chosen lightly, now, take the Dao Fruit, of course, whether to refine it, is up to you.”
Long Yue did not refuse, reaching out for the Dao Fruit.
Whether refined or not, the suppression of starry sky destiny was inevitable.
Seeing this, Wang Sheng said: “You can consider it slowly. If you refine it, you’ll know part of the starry sky’s truth, and understand why the Thirteen Realms must suppress starry sky destiny. If you’re unwilling to refine it, come to the Daoist School to find me.”
With this, Wang Sheng departed straightaway.
Leaving Long Yue, who had just ascended to the Thirteen Realms, to reflect alone.
“No matter what choice Long Yue makes, starry sky destiny has been suppressed, though it seems there’s an unexpected surprise!”
Wang Sheng had already entered the Great Tao River.
With Long Yue’s ascension to the Thirteen Realms, the Great Tao River ceased its calm and incessantly roared.
He didn’t know what transpired.
“A similar occurrence seems to have happened last time too…”
Facing the unknown, he could only wait.
He didn’t know how much time had passed before the Great Tao River returned to tranquility.
But within Wang Sheng, there was no calm.
Because after the Great Tao River calmed, the fate Dao he created suddenly appeared and seemed to be fortified by the Great Tao River, rapidly growing…
