“Long live Our Majesty!” the soldiers of the Purple Moon Empire all called out loudly, extremely excited.
Splitting open the skies was a grand, majestic feat that had never been done before.
Ma Duo Bao pressed his hands down, indicating for the masses to quiet down. “As you all know, the five sects are heartless, and treat our Lower Realm like their herb garden. Every ten thousand years, they would harvest all the living creatures of the entire realm and refine them into an alchemical pill. Their actions are extremely abominable!
“Since that is the case, we can only save ourselves. We’ll split open the skies and strike the earth to raise our Lower Realm into the Immortal Realm! From now on, every citizen in the world would be a citizen of the Immortal Realm, and everyone would be like dragons!”
Hearing the last few words he said, everyone was incredibly excited.
Citizens of the Immortal Realm!
It was a qualitative upgrade. Being citizens of the Immortal Realm meant that there would be more cultivation resources, a better environment for martial arts, and brighter future prospects. If the initial limitation was the Flower Blossom Tier, then they could possible attain the Spiritual Infant or even Deity Transformation Tier in the future.
“Split open the skies!”
“Every man a dragon!”
“Long live the emperor!”
Everyone shouted loudly. There were even some whose voices were hoarse from their shouts; they were so excited they almost passed out.
Ma Duo Bao did not continue speaking. Splitting open the skies would be the strongest declaration, better and superior than anything else.
Ling Han was also paying close attention. If Ma Duo Bao could succeed, then he would immediately, instantly be able to enter into the Immortal Realm and find out the whereabouts of Hu Niu, the Heavenly Phoenix Divine Maiden, and the others. Furthermore, the cultivation rate in the Immortal Realm would definitely be much faster than in the Lower Realm; there was no need to doubt this fact.
Ma Duo Bao lifted the Mountain and River Axe in a single go. Weng , this treasured Tool immediately shone with brilliant light. Terrifying aura surged past, causing everyone to have a difficult time breathing.
This was the manifestation of all the powers of a Realm, the most powerful treasure of the Lower Realm.
Xiu , Ma Duo Bao trod on air and flew up, standing proudly in the sky.
“Open!” He brandished the Mountain and River Axe, and delivered a heavy slash at the skies.
Hong, long, long , the empty space was torn open by his strike, revealing a dark, silent space as if an eye had opened.
Weng , the Eye of Heavenly Dao appeared, still having an obvious injury. It stared coldly at Ma Duo Bao, but did not make any move. Ma Duo Bao had only struck once at this moment, and had yet to threaten the Realm itself. Thus, the Eye of Heavenly Dao did not move, but if Ma Duo Bao raised his battle prowess again and struck madly at the space, it would definitely put a stop to his actions.
Its purpose was to maintain the balance and existence of this Realm. If the Lower Realm ascended into the Immortal Realm, its existence would naturally have lost its purpose.
Ma Duo Bao tossed a contemptuous look at it. His whole aura began to thicken madly, increasing little by little.
His whole person was exuding a brilliant golden light as if he had become a dazzling golden god. Merely that aura would make any Shattering Void Tier cultivator shiver.
This had already exceeded twenty Stars of Shattering Void Tier.
With the support of power of the nation, Ma Duo Bao’s strength had reached a height that even the majority of Shattering Void Tier cultivators could not imagine.
“Twenty Stars of strength, and battle prowess… possibly twenty-two Stars,” Ling Han said. He was the second emperor that had power of the nation, and the power of the nation he had attained was more or less about how much power of the nation Ma Duo Bao had, so he was the person qualified to speak the most.
Twenty Stars of strength was the limit. Shattering Void Tier cultivators couldn’t exceed that, and above that was the barrier to the Immortal level. That was an impenetrable barrier. However, while strength could not be further increased, battle prowess could.
Don’t underestimate the mere increase of two Stars of battle prowess. Improving further on the base of one’s limit was much too difficult! Moreover, it was a tremendous pressure on Ma Duo Bao’s physique as well, even if his physique was as tough as Level Ten precious metal.
The Eye of Heavenly Dao merely blinked once, and released the terrifying intimidation of the Realm.
This was a warning, telling Ma Duo Bao not to even dream of challenging the dignity of the Realm.
Ma Duo Bao laughed loudly, his hands once again brandishing the Mountain and River Axe, delivering a slash straight at the skies.
Hong!
This was an incredibly fearful strike. Not only was the empty space blasted open, it was even widening, and formed a gigantic hold as if it was about to swallow the whole world.
Finally, the Eye of Heavenly Dao flew into a rage, and flipped out!
Xiu , a ray of light shot out from the eyeball, shooting quickly at Ma Duo Bao.
“Even you dare to stop me?” Ma Duo Bao tossed a disdainful expression at it in a domineering fashion. He brandished the Mountain and River Axe, and slashed at the Eye of Heavenly Dao.
If he wanted to split open the skies, he would have to first defeat the Eye of Heavenly Dao. This was the embodiment of the will of the Realm.
Pa , that ray of light struck the Mountain and River Axe, and an astonishing light exploded. Everyone could not help but close their eyes in fear that their eyes would be burnt to blindness.
Ling Han activated the Eye of Truth, and instantly saw everything clearly.
He was not just here to attend the ceremony, but bore another heavy responsibility. If Ma Duo Bao failed, he would have to take over this heavy task. Thus, he now had to observe how powerful the Eye of Heavenly Dao was and what kind of deadly moves it possessed.
Even if it had been wounded twice by the great powerhouses of the Roc Palace and fled, that was because those two existences were much too powerful, and not because the Eye of Heavenly Dao was weak.
Hong, hong, hong. A great battle exploded in the skies. Floods of light surged out, every clash as loud as thunder, but aside from Ling Han and Helian Tianyun, no other person could clearly see the battle situation.
“This fatty can win!” Helian Tianyun said with a nod. “The Eye of Heavenly Dao’s battle prowess has just surpassed the limit, and reached twenty-one Stars, yet the damn fatty has reached twenty-two Stars. If there are no accidents, the fatty is definitely going to win.”
Ling Han nodded, agreeing with Helian Tianyun’s opinion. Under power of the nation, he also had about eighteen Stars of battle prowess, so his judgement would naturally not be far off.
The Eye of Heavenly Dao’s attacks were upright and frank, and that was stimulating the powers of the Realm to slash out at Ma Duo Bao.
Powers of the Realm, also known as power of regulation, possessed incredibly frightening destructive abilities. Even a physique as tough as Level Ten precious metal was useless to resist it—it would be sliced apart just like any other. Thus, even Ma Duo Bao dared not allow the Eye of Heavenly Dao to hit him. His figure flitted about in the air whilst he continued to brandish the axe in counterattacks.
Not only was he a damn fatty, he was also an incredibly agile damn fatty. He was so fast he appeared like a blur to the eye.
“A manifestation of the realm has no spirit nor consciousness; are you qualified to stop me?” Ma Duo Bao smiled proudly. Hong , his aura suddenly spiked dramatically again, endless killing intent exuding from all over his body before it solidified.
Xiu, xiu, xiu . This killing intent, like swords, shot quickly towards the Eye of Heavenly Dao, and stabbed all over the eyeball.
The First Killing Formation of the world finally expressed
his might.
Technically, Ma Duo Bao and the Eye of Heavenly Dao were actually from the same source, because the killing formation on his body was naturally etched by the realm onto him, and he was the strongest formation of this realm.
With a long shout, Ma Duo Bao waved the axe in an attack, wanting to slash apart the Eye of Heavenly Dao in a single go.
Chapter 861 - Slashing the Eye of Heavenly Dao
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
From the point of view of the Eye of Heavenly Dao, it had to be feeling very gloomy.
It was a grand, majestic embodiment of the will of the realm, yet it actually was wounded repetitively. This was something that had never happened before. However, it had no sentience, and would not really become angry. It merely stimulated powers of the realm and launched a counterattack against Ma Duo Bao.
“Too weak!” Ma Duo Bao smirked coldly. He brandished the Mountain and River Axe in large movements, striking the Eye of Heavenly Dao so that it retreated little by little.
Actually, it was not the Eye of Heavenly Dao that was weak, but Ma Duo Bao, who was expressing his full potential, that was too strong, so strong that even the Eye of Heavenly Dao was no match for him.
The Eye of Heavenly Dao was endlessly sent flying from the axe strikes. This allowed the people below to see clearly, and they all began cheering loudly to encourage Ma Duo Bao.
“The emperor is mighty!”
“The emperor is imperious!”
“The emperor is invincible!”
In the Lower Realm, every person was filled with reverence towards the Eye of Heavenly Dao. This was the embodiment of the will of the realm, and no one dared to disrespect it. If one did too many bloody atrocities that offended Heaven and Earth, they could possibly draw out the Eye of Heavenly Dao to kill them, and that meant definite death.
But now, the Eye of Heavenly Dao was being madly oppressed, and this naturally made everyone feel extremely invigorated as if they were slaves that had finally managed to turn the tables on their master.
They were all excited, their scalps numb. They shouted out hoarsely as if they themselves were that fatty that was showing off his godly might.
Ma Duo Bao’s attacks became more and more intense. Every slash from the axe would cause the Eye of Heavenly Dao to retreat a few dozen miles. He very obviously had the upper hand.
However, the Eye of Heavenly Dao had no choice but to fight.
Previously, those two ultimate elites from the Roc Palace had already thrashed it severely, but they had not intended to split open the skies, nor had they threatened the existence of the Lower Realm. That was not the case now. Ma Duo Bao’s actions would determine whether it could continue to exist or otherwise.
Hence, there was no retreat for the Eye of Heavenly Dao; its only option was to fight, and that was the meaning of its existence.
If it did not fight, its fate was death.
The Eye of Heavenly Dao glowed. This was the resistance of the whole realm. It enlarged endlessly, and multiple golden chains shot out from the eyeball. These were solidified by the powers of the realm, and represented the regulations of the realm.
In theory, the whole realm was definitely stronger than any individual being. The power you obtained had originated from this realm, so how was it possible that you would be able to surpass your origins?
Twenty Stars of strength was the limit!
However, since splitting open the skies was possible, naturally, it would not be a completely hopeless endeavor. The battle prowess limit of the Eye of Heavenly Dao was only twenty-two Stars as well, and the one splitting open the skies could draw power from power of the nation, and thus possessed a wider capacity for advancement.
As the saying went, never give up hope.
However, how terrifying would battle prowess of twenty-two Stars be?
Peng! Peng! Peng!
The chains formed by powers of the realm whipped out continuously, and seemed to have woven a net that could strangle to death any living being that dared to resist in the skies.
Ma Duo Bao was indeed very strong, but 22 Stars of battle prowess was already his limit. Although he could still fight back now, there was a limit to human ability! The moment his power was exhausted, the Eye of Heavenly Dao would turn the tables on him and kill him instead.
“Your Majesty!” the Seven Kings mumbled softly, their expressions incredibly anxious. Innumerable years ago, they, too, had traveled to this point. Ma Duo Bao still had not managed to break through his limits, and they were forced to give up the venture of splitting open the skies. Furthermore, to hide from the punishment from the Eye of Heavenly Dao, they had to seal themselves away with the Time Liquid.
Could it be that they would have a repeat of their disastrous failure, and once again be left with grievances?
“Hehe, so much time has already passed, and you think that I have not improved in the slightest?” With a loud shout, Ma Duo Bao’s body shook, and his whole body actually stretched out.
Initially, he wasn’t short, about the height of any ordinary person. However, his girth was much too astonishing, which made him appear short. Now, his girth was quickly shrinking, whereas his body was becoming taller.
In a short while, he had reached ten meters tall, his body tall and slender. What was fat about him anymore?
He was a handsome, gigantic, and amazing man!
“Boss!” The seven Kings’ cheeks streamed with tears. This was their king, so handsome that even they would be envious!
Ma Duo Bao had not just become fat. With a loud yell, even more power of the nation surged into his body, stimulating his battle prowess to increase further.
Hong!
His body seemed like it would explode at any moment. At first, he was only tall and slender, but now, he was shockingly sturdy. Every bit of muscle was trembling as if it were gushing out with enough power that could destroy the heavens and exterminate the earth.
23 Stars of battle prowess!
Realization suddenly came to Ling Han, and he said, “This fatty has cultivated an unusual technique, causing him to look shockingly fat at usual times. Yet, in truth, it is a unique body cultivation method that would greatly increase the tolerance of his body!”
For a genius like Ma Duo Bao, after failing once to split open the skies, how could it be that he would repeat his previous actions once more?
In the Shattering Void Tier, the difference of a Star meant the difference between Heaven and Earth!
The Eye of Heavenly Dao had reached the limit of its battle prowess, and, most likely, so had Ma Duo Bao. Looking at how veins were popping out on his forehead, he could not possibly maintain this kind of battle prowess for too long.
However, Ma Duo Bao had the oppressive advantage of a Star of battle prowess, and that was much too crucial.
Hong! Hong! Hong!
With him brandishing the Mountain and River Axe in successive attacks, the Eye of Heavenly Dao was continuously sent flying. That place that had been torn open twice successively suddenly split open, and dripped blood.
“Long live!”
Beneath them, cheers surged like an ocean wave.
Even Ling Han could feel his his blood racing. Although the Eye of Heavenly Dao had been injured twice, that was the action of an Immortal, but what about now? It had finally been wounded by the hand of a mortal.
Battle prowess of 23 Stars of Shattering Void Tier could suppress even the Eye of Heavenly Dao!
The Eye of Heavenly Dao was bleeding, and a rain of blood also began streaming down. This was the sorrow of the realm.
“I, this day, shall massacre the skies and establish my nation!” Ma Duo Bao laughed loudly, announcing his noble aspirations. The Mountain and River Axe exuded a brilliant light, delivering blows that gradually enlarged that wound on the Eye of Heavenly Dao.
At first, even if the Eye of Heavenly Dao was no match for him, it would not have lost so easily, either. However, it
had been wounded by unprecedented ultimate elites two times recently, so it had actually lost a great deal of its vitality. And now, it had encountered an opponent with battle prowess of 23 Stars of Shattering Void Tier, which finally became the straw that broke the camel’s back.
The Eye of Heavenly Dao retreated in defeat, little by little. The heavens were weeping blood, but there were also trumpet calls echoing in the world that would cause one’s blood to race. This was the encouragement for a hero. Splitting open the skies was the grandest, most important act of a small world.
“Eliminate!” Ma Duo Bao shouted loudly, and the Mountain and River Axe shot out its brightest strike.
Hong!
The Eye of Heavenly Dao was actually slashed apart, endless blood spraying out, pouring out from either half from the skies. As blood poured, it continued to burn. Before even reaching the ground, the blood was burnt to ash.
Ma Duo Bao drew back the axe, his gaze fixed on the skies. Now that the stumbling block had been swept aside, he only needed to break through the Realm Barrier and tear open a large enough hole; he would then be able to bring this entire realm into the Immortal Realm.
“Open!” he shouted loudly, raising the Mountain and River Axe high, and mercilessly struck at the skies.
One strike followed another as battle prowess of 23 Stars blasted out without any reservations.
The world was torn apart, and it was no longer the darkness of the empty Void before them, for a foggy, extremely vague sight was revealed. Through this hazy view, everyone could vaguely see a new world.
Was that the Immortal Realm?
Ma Duo Bao showed off even more of his godly might. The Mountain and River Axe struck madly, determined to slash through this haze.
Open, open, it was really going to be split open. That world’s view was becoming increasingly distinct.
Ling Han could not help but feel excited, his hands gripped into fists, appearing to be very nervous.
Shua!
However, right at that moment, a sword flash actually slashed out from that piece of sky, and struck Ma Duo Bao directly!
