Chapter 629: Chapter 604: The Overbearing Yuan Tiandao
Yuan Tiandao merged with the Origin-Ancestor Body.
What is the Origin-Ancestor Body? It is the embodiment of the Origin Continent, his heart and mind can merge with the Origin Continent.
The spiritual sense of Yuan Tiandao seemed to integrate with the Origin Continent, rapidly spreading out. At this moment, he seemed to have become the master of the Origin Continent, able to clearly see everything that was happening on it.
"Hmm? That’s the Dragon Alliance waging war against my Origin Dynasty. The Dragon Alliance is quite audacious," he said.
Yuan Tiandao saw the River of Sword Magic transformed by Tang Feng, saw the experts from the Dragon Alliance confronting the powerhouses of the Origin Dynasty.
A cold light flashed in his eyes. With one step, his body vanished from the spot.
To the west of the River of Sword Magic, a colossal Divine Mountain floated in mid-air.
This Divine Mountain, protected by a powerful formation, gathered powerful individuals from the Origin Dynasty and various major forces of the Immortal Clan.
Within a grand hall, Yuan Tiandao was seated above all, with over twenty Step Three Creation powerhouses sitting on either side.
"Yuan Tiandao, for what reason have you summoned us?" asked a burly man from the Origin Dynasty with a cold face, clearly displeased.
After all, he was a Step Three Creation powerhouse, and while Yuan Tiandao was highly talented, his cultivation level was still lower. Within the Origin Dynasty, he should, at best, be considered an equal, but now he was seated above, looking down upon him, which made him discontent.
Moreover, there were factions within the Origin Dynasty.
Being relatively young and risen not long ago, Yuan Tiandao managed to become someone that most of the Step Three Creation experts in the Origin Dynasty aligned with the Yuan Wanggu faction.
The rise of Yuan Tiandao severely threatened the position of Yuan Wanggu within the Origin Dynasty.
It was no wonder he couldn’t put on a happy face.
"I have already understood the ins and outs of the matter, and I didn’t expect that so much has happened during the time I was in closed-door cultivation," Yuan Tiandao uttered calmly at first but as he spoke, his eyes turned sharp and said, "I’m just curious, how can so many of you fail to deal with the Dragon Alliance? Is Yuan Wanggu just eating for free?"
"Yuan Tiandao..."
The burly man from the Origin Dynasty suddenly raised his voice, calling him out directly, "Watch your attitude. Yuan Wanggu is your elder."
"Elder?"
Yuan Tiandao revealed a mocking smile and said, "Cultivators respect those who achieve greatness. Age means nothing to us. I hereby declare that I will command this war. We will strike now and exterminate the Dragon Alliance in one fell swoop."
"You command? Strike now? Hahaha, Yuan Tiandao, no doubt you are an All-Origin Body with exceptional talent, but your cultivation level is low. What qualifications do you have to be the commander? And, are you aware of the Dragon Alliance’s strength? They’ve joined forces with powers like the Desolate Heaven Cosmic Country to fortify their defense. We simply can’t overcome them. What we need to do now is to wait for Lord Yuan Wanggu to emerge from seclusion before we extinguish the Dragon Alliance," the burly man laughed loudly.
Yuan Tiandao stood up from his seat and looked down at the burly man, his eyes turning colder as he said, "Are you questioning me?"
"So what if I am?"
The burly man met him head-on, without any fear.
Boom!
A terrifying aura suddenly burst forth from Yuan Tiandao, pressing towards the burly man. Simultaneously, with a flash, he pounced towards the man, reaching out with his hand towards his head.
Instantly, the burly man felt his breath stifled, as if a whole world was pressing down on him, feeling an innate sense of crisis.
He let out a roar, unleashing all his Step Three Creation strength in a punch, fighting back with all his might.
Clang!
The moment his fist collided with Yuan Tiandao’s palm, it exploded. Yuan Tiandao’s hand didn’t stop and grasped the burly man’s throat, lifting him off the ground.
The burly man struggled madly but felt an overpowering strength he couldn’t resist, like a chicken ready for slaughter.
Hiss hiss hiss...
Sounds of sharp intakes of breath were heard.
All eyes present were wide with shock.
To subdue a Step Three Creation powerhouse with a single move...
What kind of strength was this?
Step Three Creation... Yuan Tiandao had also reached Step Three Creation.
This thought arose in everyone’s mind as looks of awe appeared on their faces.
Previously, while everyone recognized Yuan Tiandao’s unparalleled talent, they did not fear him too much, given the gap in cultivation level.
Without reaching Step Three of Creation, no matter how high the talent, it was just that—potential, not power.
But now, things were different.
An All-Origin Body at Step Three Creation was definitely a king among them, unmatched by anyone.
Even without Tang Feng, it was time for Yuan Wanggu, the first of Creation, to step aside.
"Now, am I qualified enough?" Yuan Tiandao asked slowly, his gaze sweeping across the room.
Anyone swept by his gaze changed their expression drastically, covered in cold sweat.
"You are. Young Master Tiandao breaking through to Step Three of Creation, makes it so that without the True One emerging, who can compete with you? If you are not qualified to lead us, then who in the world is?" Blood Rule Canglong was the first to speak up.
"Indeed, in my opinion, with Young Master Tiandao’s strength, he could even fight at the True One State. With Young Master Tiandao commanding us, exterminating the Dragon Alliance will be as easy as turning over one’s hand," a member of the Divine Clan also quickly said.
Then, other people followed with a barrage of flattery.
Yuan Tiandao revealed a satisfied smile, releasing his grip as the burly man from the Origin Dynasty fell to the ground, gasping for air, filled with fear towards Yuan Tiandao.
"Good. Listen to my command, we strike immediately. Spread out and attack the River of Sword Magic, diverting the attention of the Dragon Alliance. I will make a direct assault, first destroying Dragon Emperor City to confound their minds, then surround and kill Tang Feng, Ye Qing, and the rest."
Yuan Tiandao had devised a plan.
A moment later.
Whoosh whoosh...
The allied forces centered around the Origin Dynasty scattered in groups of threes and fives, charging towards the River of Sword Magic.
"Be alert, they’re making their move,"
Tang Feng’s voice emanated from within the River of Sword Magic.
"Counterattack."
Ye Qing and others maneuvered through the River of Sword Magic, separating to meet the incoming assault.
Boom!
Suddenly, a towering wave erupted in a part of the River of Sword Magic.
Yuan Tiandao, wielding the All-Encompassing Sword, burst forth, with a single slash causing countless battle swords within the River of Sword Magic to explode into dust.
He looked invincible like a war deity, his aura piercing the heavens, and his All-Encompassing Sword almost cleaved the River of Sword Magic in two.
Luckily, Ye Qing, Formation Ancestor, Bubble, and the metallic sphere, four great experts, arrived in time to jointly counter the attack and block Yuan Tiandao’s onslaught.
"You cannot stop me,"
Yuan Tiandao spoke indifferently, his eyes filled with self-assured brilliance. In one hand, he held the All-Encompassing Sword, and above his head hovered the All Things Furnace, exhibiting an undefeatable stature and unparalleled power.
The sword and the furnace resonated, unstoppable.
With one slash, Ye Qing was forced to retreat explosively.
The All Things Furnace pressed down, sending the metallic sphere rolling away.
The All-Encompassing Sword continued its descent, the defenses that Formation Ancestor and Bubble had erected trembled continuously and were repeatedly torn apart.
Above the sky’s vault, massive Rivers of Magic emerged, descending with powerful energy and infusing into Yuan Tiandao, making his strength even more formidable.
Because powerful attackers were present everywhere, Tang Feng needed to oppose the elites on all fronts, his power too diffuse, and he therefore struggled to effectively snipe Yuan Tiandao.
....
Within the River of Thunder’s Magic, Lu Yan had successively discovered thirty-six true patterns, all of which were absorbed by his body and Primordial Spirit.
His body and Primordial Spirit, like bottomless pits, absorbed thirty-six true patterns in one go. With each true pattern absorbed, his body underwent a slight transformation.
After thirty-six true patterns in a row, his body and Primordial Spirit had become tremendously stronger.
Only then did Lu Yan feel he had reached his limit—the longing sensation in his body had disappeared.
However, at this time, Lu Yan’s body suddenly shone with a brilliant five-colored radiance, extraordinarily splendid.
"The Five Elements True Body has broken through,"
Lu Yan revealed a look of joy.
The Five Elements True Body and the body’s physical solidification complemented each other.
Having merged into the Tao One Law River to complete the physical solidification process, and after absorbing dozens of true patterns, his Five Elements True Body also made sudden leaps and bounds, breaking through the final transformation, the Five Elements Transformation.
His body underwent another metamorphosis, greatly enhancing his strength.
Because with the last transformation, the Five Elements Transformation, the physical strength alone was comparable to the third step of creation.
"I didn’t expect the Five Elements True Body to break through before the Saint Soldier’s Formula,"
Lu Yan showed a smile.
Just then, his expression subtly changed.
Because he felt a slight tremor in the River of Thunder’s Magic, and wisps of power leaking outwards, rushing towards the Origin Continent.
Activating his Tao Soul Pupil, he looked down and seemed to instantly traverse infinite voids, catching a glimpse of Yuan Tiandao using the power of the River of Magic to fight fiercely against Ye Qing and the others.
"Yuan Tiandao."
The cold light flickered in Lu Yan’s eyes, without a hint of hesitation, he plunged down, following the force descending from the River of Magic and instantly crossing the vast void, charging at Yuan Tiandao.
In the process of rushing out, the Desolate Ancient Seven Extermination Blade in hand, he fused with the blade, swooping downwards, aiming the blade’s tip towards the top of Yuan Tiandao’s head.
By that time, Yuan Tiandao had already crossed the River of Sword Magic and arrived in the territory of the Dragon Alliance, overpowering Ye Qing and the other four experts with his solo might, forcing them to retreat step by step.
Moreover, with the loss of Ye Qing, Formation Ancestor, Bubble, and the metallic sphere, the defensive pressure in other directions was mounting. At this rate, it wouldn’t take long for the other elites of the Origin Dynasty to breach the defenses of the River of Sword Magic and invade the Dragon Alliance’s territory.
That’s when Lu Yan made his move.
Yuan Tiandao’s Spiritual Perception was extremely sharp, sensing danger instinctively and without hesitating, he activated the All Things Furnace to bombard upwards.
Clang!
The blade’s light struck the All Things Furnace, which trembled greatly, rebounding and smashing towards Yuan Tiandao below.
Yuan Tiandao’s pupils tightened as he grabbed one leg of the All Things Furnace with his left hand, while his right hand swept the All-Encompassing Sword upwards.
Boom!
The blade and sword collided, releasing devastating energy, and everything around them turned into nothingness.
Yuan Tiandao’s body shuddered, and he retreated explosively.
And Lu Yan also drifted backward.
"Zhang Wei, no, Lu Yan, it’s you..."
Upon recognizing Lu Yan, Yuan Tiandao let out a deep roar, and his icy killing intent instantly turned the world into a frigid winter.
He had previously learned from Blood Rule Canglong and others that Zhang Wei was Lu Yan, and Lu Yan was Zhang Wei.
