Chapter 1214: Chapter 78: Wang Sheng’s “Replica”?
The fifth Zenith fruit contest on the Supreme Road has begun, and it is of greater importance than ever to both the Starry Sky Creatures and Wang Sheng.
For the Starry Sky Creatures, they know that the replication entities are even more fearsome than before, requiring more preparation, lest they fall with great risk.
For Wang Sheng, it is even more critical. If the Starry Sky Creatures can succeed this time, he will be able to overcome the greatest obstacle in his cultivation and achieve immortality.
“After looking around, it seems there isn’t anyone with particularly high hope…”
Though there are countless Starry Sky Creatures, very few reach the Twelfth Realm, and even with major changes in the cosmic environment, the five starry skies combined do not host many, let alone the top-tier Saint Emperors eligible to compete for the Dao Fruit.
Wang Sheng must admit that this generation lacks figures as extraordinarily gifted as Zhu Xiao and Yuanhua, and certainly none like the eccentric Ye Feng.
Simply put, this generation lacks an absolutely dominant top-tier Saint Emperor.
“This is not a good sign…”
Without an absolute dominator, it might have been fine in the past, but with the presence of replication entities, it becomes quite troublesome.
Of course, the absence of an absolute dominator does not mean there are no exceptionally gifted individuals.
“Li Chengdao is quite talented. While the chance this time is slim, he should accumulate significant foundation, and although next time may be too soon, the time after next will surely see him become the finest, with the Heavenly Favored King likely to rise after Li Chengdao. Among the older generation, there is little hope from the Old Land Starry Sky and New Land Starry Sky, but a few in the Xuan Yuan Starry Sky and Divine Light Starry Sky possess considerable strength; the victor is most likely to come from these two starry skies.”
The two top figures of the Old Land have already reached Dao enlightenment, and the New Land’s development started too late. After Zhu Xiao achieved Dao enlightenment, others have little hope.
Purple Mountain Starry Sky joined too late; while there are strong figures, they lack competitiveness.
This time, it will likely be the cultivators from Xuan Yuan Starry Sky and Divine Light Starry Sky vying for the Dao Fruit.
“Although Xuan Kong and Shen Tu failed last time, they have a significant chance this time. The only issue now lies with the Corrosive Fate Dao…”
Wang Sheng also remains unsure of how the Corrosive Fate Dao will act next.
But he cannot help but be vigilant.
“It seems we must devise a response strategy because the methods of the Corrosive Fate Dao are becoming increasingly troublesome.”
Even after four victories, he does not dare to relax his vigilance in the slightest.
No one knows what tactics the Corrosive Fate Dao might employ.
Meanwhile, at the Origin Land of the Corrosive Fate Dao.
A figure that appeared thirty thousand years ago senses the passage of time and awakens from long seclusion.
“Has the time come? Thirty thousand years goes by so quickly. Once the time is up, they begin to urge me. It seems they’re anxious. The losses might be greater than I imagined… The scale of this move is likely to be larger, I really wonder what they insist on holding onto.”
The shadow received no response, remained silent for a while, then continued, “That said, I am compelled to act; it truly is perplexing, no surprise it’s a replication entity.”
The shadow shook its head, stepped out, and vanished from the Origin Land, leaving only a voice behind.
“A strong one always enters the stage last.”
His action commences.
The Corrosive Fate Dao is paying significant costs to seize the Dao Fruit this time.
On the other hand, with the opening of the Supreme Road, cultivators are continuously flooding in.
“It really is hard to predict who will achieve Dao enlightenment this time!”
“Not that difficult, right? Xuan Kong Saint Emperor, Shen Tu Saint Emperor, they have a good chance. They may have failed thirty thousand years ago, but their strength is undeniable.”
“Previously, the Old Land and New Land were quite prominent; the Supreme light of the one who achieved Dao enlightenment in Xuan Yuan Starry Sky was almost invisible, is it finally our turn now?”
“Because those two starry skies have been closely linked to the True Saints recently. Rumor has it that the True Saints will host an Immortal Fruit gathering, offering substantial benefits even for supreme Saint Emperors.”
“Ah, being favored by a True Saint makes a difference.”
“Some things can’t be envied. Look at the New Land, where several cultivators can directly interact with the True Saints, can that be compared?”
Cultivators from other starry skies indeed envy those of the Old Land and New Land starry skies.
After all, receiving personal instruction from a True Saint is more enviable than the opportunities on the Supreme Road.
Amidst the discussion, the contest for the Supreme Road had already begun.
The top-tier Saint Emperors guarded against replication entities that might appear at any moment while seeking opportunities and accumulating ’momentum.’
Wang Sheng, naturally, is also watching, possessing a clearer oversight.
“As expected, replication entities have appeared, but why are they so ordinary this time?”
Yes, ordinary.
Replication entities are the ’tools’ used by the Corrosive Fate Dao to seize the Dao Fruit.
Tools are used in the best ways possible.
Methods using replication entities by the Corrosive Fate Dao have continuously improved.
Like last time, employing tactics akin to ’openly repairing the pathway while secretly advancing through hidden channels.’
If not for the counter-measures, who knows what the final outcome might have been?
At least Yuanhua’s path to Dao enlightenment would have been extremely arduous.
Yet this time, as far as he can see, the replication entities dispatched by the Corrosive Fate Dao seem no different from the first time.
They simply entangle the main body, choosing to resolve as many as they can.
The only difference is that the replication entities are slightly stronger.
But the fact suggests these methods do not lead to ultimate victory.
For instance, Shen Tu and Xuan Kong managed to resolve replication entities last time, and there will be no exception this time.
“Without other methods, has the Corrosive Fate Dao completely conceded? But if conceding, then why still dispatch cultivators forcibly from the starry sky?”
