Chapter 247: Demon Emperor's Blade Slash!!
"I say, Dao Tian, we have reached this point between us. Do you still want our juniors to inherit our path?" Shadow of the Divine scolded.
"Ha ha, didn't you see the fate of those two? Otherwise, do you think this non-direct descendant from the Dao Clan could teleport to our Demon God Temple?" Dao Tian said with a smile.
"Chosen One? Heaven's Chosen One? Ha ha, good, good! Dao Tian, you have your ways. It seems I can't lose to you either." Shadow of the Divine laughed and said, "Shadow Kill, since you and that Dao Clan kid are destined to fight, you must win for me, understand? No matter what, I cannot lose to that old bastard Dao Tian."
"Senior, if a battle is truly unavoidable, I will give it my all," Yang Chen said firmly.
"I will also give it my all!" Great Unity Celestial Sovereign said with fighting spirit as he looked at Yang Chen.
"Good, good! Young people are full of energy and passion. Here, Dao Clan kid, this is my Dao Clan's Dao Divine Sword; I'm giving it to you now." Dao Tian laughed heartily, his tone filled with joy as a three-foot longsword with a purple-gold blade descended from the sky.
"Thank you, Senior," Great Unity Celestial Sovereign said gratefully as he held the sword.
"No need. Our Dao Clan values harmony," Dao Tian said.
"Harmony?" Great Unity Celestial Sovereign asked in confusion.
"Yes, harmony. The more you understand this aspect, the greater your achievements will be in the future. Furthermore, our Dao Clan is the originator of Dao Technique. It can be said that the current prosperity of the World of the Dao owes much to my Dao Clan," Dao Tian said proudly.
"In this regard, Dao Tian hasn't exaggerated; the current flourishing of the World of the Dao indeed owes much to the Dao Clan," Shadow of the Divine nodded in praise.
"Shadow of the Divine old buddy, after so many years, you've finally spoken some human words," Dao Tian said.
"Damn it, are you trying to start something?" Shadow of the Divine retorted angrily.
"Right now, you can only spar with words; don't talk about anything else," Dao Tian said disdainfully. "Dao Clan kid, we emphasize enlightenment in our clan. This is my understanding of the Dao over these years; let's see how far you can go and which path you will choose." After saying this, a golden object surged directly into Great Unity Celestial Sovereign's forehead.
The Great Unity Celestial Sovereign bowed slightly to the Void and said, "Thank you, Senior." He then sat cross-legged and immersed himself in Dao Tian's understanding of the Dao.
"Old buddy, I'm going to rest for a while; you can continue with your work," Dao Tian said weakly.
"Old man, you..." Shadow of the Divine said with sadness.
"Old buddy, are you going to miss me? Ha ha, take care of your worries early, and then accompany me to soar through the universe," Dao Tian said casually. As he spoke, his voice gradually weakened, becoming smaller and smaller, like a goodnight blessing whispered before sleep.
"Old man, I don't know how long it will be or if I'll have the chance to argue with you again. Actually, I would prefer to have another fight with you, battling until the heavens and earth are dark, and then getting drunk together," Dao Tian said sorrowfully.
During this time, Yang Chen remained silent, quietly waiting for Shadow of the Divine to speak again.
Time passed—whether it was a minute or a century, it was hard to tell.
"Shadow Kill kid, you are this generation's Judgment Inheritor, right?" Shadow of the Divine asked.
Yang Chen nodded and replied, "Yes, I am indeed this generation's Judgment Inheritor."
"In that case, you can be considered my junior; do you agree?" Dao Tian inquired.
Yang Chen paused for a moment before responding, "I agree."
"Good. You hold my Shadow Kill Clan's Shadow Clone Divine Ability and are a Shadow Kill Judicator; thus, you are qualified to inherit my legacy," Shadow of the Divine stated.
"Thank you, Senior," Yang Chen replied.
"The inheritance of my Shadow Kill Clan is divided into ten ranks. Upon obtaining the perfect Shadow Kill inheritance, a Ten-Pointed Star Shadow Kill Clan mark will appear on your forehead. However, it seems you have only obtained the ninth rank inheritance," Dao Tian sighed and said. "Has the Shadow Kill Clan fallen so low that a ninth rank inheritor holds the Judicator position? Or has God's Realm become desolate?"
Dao Tian coughed once and changed his mood before saying, "I will use all my divine power to help you complete the Shadow Kill Clan mark so that you can obtain the tenth rank inheritance. However, doing so may mean that you might not be sufficient to become a deity. Are you willing?"
"Becoming a deity naturally relies on one's own strength, comprehension, and the cultivation of Divine Status. Then Yang Chen discovered that the originally fully realized Xiao Tian now only had the strength of a Seven-Star Fighter, while he himself miraculously also possessed the power of a Seven-Star Fighter! Becoming a deity is truly meaningful."
"Senior, as long as I obtain the Ten-Tiered Inheritance, that will be enough," Yang Chen said without being greedy.
"Not arrogant or impatient, very good. Dao Tian and I can at most elevate your realm to Demigod Realm; cultivating Divine Status is your own matter, Dao Tian and I are powerless in that regard. However, I can assist you in cultivating Shadow Clone Divine Ability to great perfection," Shadow of the Divine said.
"Thank you, Senior," Yang Chen nodded gratefully.
"Sit down, empty your mind, and leave the rest to me," Shadow of the Divine instructed.
"Yes, Senior," Yang Chen replied, then sat cross-legged, focusing on his Dantian, merging his soul with the universe.
"With divine power, I forge your inheritance. I hope you can carry the glory of my Shadowkill Clan in the future," Shadow of the Divine murmured. As he spoke, a golden light orb descended from the sky and merged into the Nine-Pointed Star on Yang Chen's forehead. Gradually, an illusory corner of the Nine-Pointed Star began to take shape. Slowly, this illusory corner became more substantial and began to merge with the Nine-Pointed Star.
After an unknown amount of time, the Nine-Pointed Star transformed into a Ten-Pointed Star, and Yang Chen abruptly opened his eyes.
Yang Chen stood up and slightly bowed to Void, respectfully saying, "Thank you, Senior."
"I am about to fall into slumber. If I can awaken one day, it will be a blessing. Here, this is something that belongs to you; take it." A piece of black armor flew towards Yang Chen. He was momentarily stunned but then absorbed it into his body.
Afterward, Yang Chen activated Shadowkill Clan's Shadow Clone Divine Ability. Suddenly, a gray figure appeared before him—gray hair and gray robes. Then Yang Chen discovered that the originally fully realized Xiao Tian now only had the strength of a Seven-Star Fighter while he himself miraculously also possessed the power of a Seven-Star Fighter! The figure bowed slightly to Yang Chen and said, "Greetings, fellow cultivator."
"Greetings, fellow cultivator," Yang Chen returned the bow with a smile and asked, "What Great Divine Power do you possess?"
"As long as you do not perish, I shall not be destroyed. Moreover, since you understand it, so do I," the gray Yang Chen smiled.
"In that case, I bestow upon you the name—Dark Morning," Yang Chen declared.
"Thank you, fellow cultivator," Dark Morning replied with a slight smile.
Yang Chen nodded. Immediately after, Dark Morning's form shifted and disappeared into Yang Chen's shadow. At the same time, Great Unity Celestial Sovereign also stood up and smiled, "Brother Yang, have you completed your inheritance?"
Yang Chen nodded and said, "Well, how do you feel?"
"It's just the Demigod Realm; I have long been a Demigod," Great Unity Celestial Sovereign replied with a slight shake of his head. "However, my understanding of the Dao has deepened significantly, and I have also gained many divine spells in my mind."
"Since that's the case, let's go out and look for Blood Robe and the others," Yang Chen said.
"Big Brother, what did you gain?" Great Unity Celestial Sovereign asked as he followed Yang Chen.
"Nothing much, just the usual. Alright, let's go out and see other places," Yang Chen replied. After saying this, the two walked out of the Demon God Temple side by side.
The moment they stepped out of the Demon God Temple's main gate, a swirl occurred, and when they opened their eyes again, they had arrived at a large plaza filled with people, where a battle was taking place.
"Blood Robe!" Great Unity Celestial Sovereign shouted loudly.
The observing Blood Robe and others hurriedly gathered around and respectfully said, "We meet you, Heavenly Lord."
"What is going on?" Great Unity Celestial Sovereign inquired.
"Reporting to Heavenly Lord, this is the chaos caused by Ruthless Prince and others from Order Celestial Kingdom and Shadowkill Celestial Kingdom," Blood Robe explained.
Great Unity Celestial Sovereign glanced at Yang Chen and seeing him unmoved, he then asked, "Do you know the reason?"
"Reporting to Heavenly Lord, Ruthless Prince believes that Jade Emperor and others are invading Xuanzhou, which is part of Shadow Kill's territory. Additionally, because Order Celestial Kingdom refused to form an alliance, this chaos was triggered," Blood Robe stated.
"Brother Yang?" Great Unity Celestial Sovereign asked.
"It's fine; let this little guy have some fun," Yang Chen said with a smile, secretly thinking to himself: "Yao Wuqing, do your best."
In the distance, battles were raging. The Nine Sovereigns were in a decisive battle against Jade Emperor, while Shi Heng, Li Qi, and Lin Tingting faced off against Falling Star. Qintian Monitor and others were battling Yi Tianming, while the remaining twelve captains were engaged in combat with War God Tong.
Yang Chen looked at the battlefield, then his gaze settled on Yao Wuqing, who had blood-colored long hair and wielded the Blood-Red Demon Blade. With a ghostly spirit-like stride, regardless of whether it was a first-level Saint of Combat or a Nine-Level Battle Saint, they were nothing but easy prey under his blade. The more people he killed, the more brilliant the blood-red glow of the Blood-Red Demon Blade became.
With a single slash of the Blood-Red Demon Blade, Yao Wuqing cut down a Fighting Saint Expert from the Nine Transformations of the Fighting Saint Realm in the Order Celestial Kingdom. He looked around, his blood-red eyes scanning the surroundings, and saw the Saints of Combat recklessly surrounding him. A cold smile appeared at the corner of Yao Wuqing's mouth as he said, "Those who invade my territory deserve to die!"
"Demon Emperor's Blade Slash!"
The Demon Blade seemed slow, but in reality, it moved with incredible speed. A flash of blood-red light swept through, and all the Order Soldiers surrounding Yao Wuqing were struck in the abdomen by his blade, blood slowly oozing out. Among them were even Demigod Experts!
"It seems you have reached the peak of your life," Yang Chen said slowly. As he spoke, a gray figure with a masked face swiftly approached Yao Wuqing.
"The sword has its way, and the blade has its path. Since you have inherited the Demon Emperor's legacy, you should walk your path with the blade," Dark Morning said gravely.
"Senior?" Yao Wuqing looked at the gray-clad elder in confusion.
"Since you are practicing the way of the blade, my swordsmanship is no longer suitable for you. Therefore, I will teach you 'Intent,'" Dark Morning said without paying attention to Yao Wuqing, speaking to himself. He then slightly grasped with his right hand, and a White Longsword flew into Dark Morning's hand. He softly added, "Pay attention."
He then gently swung his sword, cutting down a Demigod Realm expert in half from a distance; the expert died instantly while still maintaining his attacking posture.
"Did you see clearly?" Dark Morning asked.
"Senior?" Yao Wuqing asked in confusion.
"You still don't understand," Dark Morning shook his head slightly and swung his sword again, claiming another Demigod Realm expert's life.
