Chapter 750: Chapter 293: The Person I Want to Kill—No One Can Save Them!
Celestial Venerable Yu Chen slightly closed his eyes and slowly drew in a deep breath.
Every word from Fan Wubing was provoking his nerves.
After a moment, he opened his eyes,
"Talking is useless."
The intent of the Dao within him surged to the extreme, an unstoppable force. He had entered the best state, determined to soar past the "vast ocean" that was Fan Wubing.
The Four Directions Dao, Life Dao, myriad Daoist arts, and various treasures... all were prepared.
This time, he would become the Lord of Directions once more.
Fan Wubing suddenly felt he had lost his sense of direction. He clearly sensed that Celestial Venerable Yu Chen was much stronger than the last time they met. He was originally a Terminal Daoist of the Four Directions Dao, mastering the most extreme of the Four Directions Dao. But Fan Wubing felt that his control over direction now might already be akin to the supreme Cosmic Dao.
Previously, Yu Chen was a Fifth-Tier Tribulation Immortal; now, although still so, he was only one tribulation away from becoming a Sixth-Tier Tribulation Immortal, a tribulation that posed no difficulty for him. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say he had the cultivation level of a Sixth-Tier Tribulation Immortal.
"Fan Wubing, if you haven’t made any progress, you won’t be a match for me."
Fan Wubing chuckled and asked, "Is this what Little Leisurely Official is about? Betting your Dao heart on a personal grudge. No wonder you want to break through the cocoon and become a butterfly, aiming to soar past this vast ocean that is me."
Effortlessly, Fan Wubing discerned why Celestial Venerable Yu Chen appeared there.
The Yin Yang Fate Divination Skill. This skill, considered the Yin Yang School’s greatest masterpiece, despite encountering setbacks like the mystery of the Eternal Immortal Sect, could still calculate the cause and effect between most events, and this time was no exception.
The vast cultivation base of Celestial Venerable Yu Chen almost compressed the space locked by the Four Directions Dao to the extreme.
Holding the Yin Yang Cat in his arms, Fan Wubing walked step by step toward Celestial Venerable Yu Chen. This extreme pressure did not affect him in the slightest.
Celestial Venerable Yu Chen had no intention of retreating either, for retreat was no longer an option. This was a duel where everything was on the line.
Yet seeing Fan Wubing unaffected by his Dao, Daoist arts, and various Divine Techniques, he still harbored a great doubt.
He couldn’t help but think, I’ve reached the level of a Sixth-Tier Tribulation Immortal; my Dao heart is now unimaginably resilient; my Four Directions Dao has touched the heights of the Cosmic Dao; my supreme Life Dao provides me with endless vitality, allowing me to perceive the subtle changes among all life forces.
"I am already among those standing on the peak of the mountain... why, why, when facing him, does it still feel like confronting an insurmountable mountain... is it possible that where I stand is not the peak? No! I cannot doubt myself! There is nowhere left to retreat! I am standing on the edge of a cliff!"
Celestial Venerable Yu Chen forced himself to open his eyes wide, confronting Fan Wubing directly.
But Fan Wubing, he was walking towards him with a cat in his arms... that cat slumbered so peacefully in his embrace, seemingly saying, when facing you, I don’t even need to exert my full strength, I can still care for the cat in my arms.
Fan Wubing’s expression was serene,
"Everything I perceive is real, and every path I walk is smooth. Your Four Directions Dao can no longer trap me."
The Seven Luminaries Star Formation Skill, with pinpoint accuracy in locating space and distances, allowed him to uncover Celestial Venerable Yu Chen’s position.
Every step he took was a real one, impossible to lose direction.
"This vast ocean, you are probably destined not to fly over." So saying, Fan Wubing leisurely reached Celestial Venerable Yu Chen’s side.
Seeing him arrive at his side, the doubt in Celestial Venerable Yu Chen’s eyes reached its peak.
Fan Wubing shook his head and said, "It’s over."
He raised his hand and extended his index finger in the air.
A blood dot appeared on Celestial Venerable Yu Chen’s forehead, from which a line of blood trickled down.
His spirit, Dao, and physical body were utterly destroyed by Fan Wubing with pure power, without even needing to use Divine Techniques or Daoist arts.
"So that’s how it is." Celestial Venerable Yu Chen, however, did not dissipate just like that. Instead, the doubt in his eyes vanished, becoming exceedingly clear. "Your cultivation has reached the point of crushing everything. Your path of cultivation, from the very beginning, transcended worldly bounds. No wonder you became a defier, no wonder you wanted to seize the Calibration Instrument... your birth was all a predestined result!"
Fan Wubing furrowed his brows slightly, not quite understanding why Celestial Venerable Yu Chen had not turned to dust.
Celestial Venerable Yu Chen shook his head and said, "You truly underestimate me. I may not be the best Little Leisurely Official, but I’m certainly not such a fragile coward. The vast ocean I need to fly over has never been you, but myself. I am just one step away from transcending worldly bounds."
Fan Wubing immediately understood. Celestial Venerable Yu Chen did not need to defeat him, only to recognize the gap between them.
"So, what will become of you after flying over the vast ocean?"
Celestial Venerable Yu Chen broke into laughter,
"We, the Carefree Officials, roam the world; neither the heavens nor the earth can bind us. Be it Divine Techniques or Daoist arts, they are merely cages and prisons."
With such a declaration, the intent of the Dao continuously poured from him.
In the blink of an eye, the Divine Techniques and Daoist arts he mastered were entirely forgotten. Yet he did not become weaker; rather, he became stronger... perhaps strong is not the right description. Fan Wubing could no longer sense his cultivation, not even his existence. Clearly, he was right in front of him, but his form appeared exceedingly ethereal.
Fan Wubing immediately thought of a certain Dao intent in the Daoist School—Formless Illusion.
