Chapter 475: Awakening the Trump Card, Yin-Yang Five Elements Immortal Explosion Technique!
In this moment, Crimson Moon panicked!
It remembered this human.
Six months ago, this insignificant human had ventured into its abyss, slaying a number of Red-Eyed 異族 (Heterogeneous Beings).
But back then, this human was simply beneath Crimson Moon's notice…
The only lasting impression was that it was incredibly fast!
So much so that it had been tricked!
Even so, Crimson Moon didn't take it to heart, merely casually issuing an order to its subordinates to eliminate the human if possible.
But now…
In just over half a year.
The insignificant ant it had once looked down upon had actually started to stand on equal footing with it?
"This… this is impossible!"
"Could it be… that you are also a reborn Grand Primordial Immortal?"
Crimson Moon wasn't exactly afraid of Su Xing's strength, but rather shocked by the speed of his growth!
"More than half a year ago… you were clearly still at the Golden Immortal level according to your human standards…"
"Yet now, you possess combat power that surpasses ordinary Great Ethereal Golden Immortals?!"
Looking at Crimson Moon, who was clearly taken aback in the sky, Su Xing smiled without speaking, his expression becoming even more enigmatic, as if he was completely confident in victory.
"What you see as half a year, I've experienced… tens of thousands of years of cultivation!"
Su Xing thought to himself.
Thus, seizing this rare opportunity, he launched consecutive attacks on Crimson Moon!
One sword, two swords… a thousand swords, ten thousand swords!
Amidst the boundless sword light, Su Xing and Crimson Moon clashed in the blink of an eye, exchanging hundreds of blows…
After the initial shock and disbelief, Crimson Moon quickly regained its composure.
In its long lifespan, it had hardly ever been so flustered.
At the same time, it had never encountered a lifeform like Su Xing, whose strength had undergone such a drastic transformation in just half a year!
"So… what exactly happened to you?"
"What incredible secret are you hiding?"
Boundless crimson light, like countless spears of death, surged from all directions, continuously striking at Su Xing.
In the massive red eye in the sky, a flicker of excitement seemed to briefly appear.
It couldn't wait to unravel the secrets of this human before it!
Below, Su Xing either leaped hundreds of miles, his figure nimbly weaving through the crimson light.
Or he enveloped himself in a protective sword aura, doing his best to withstand the erosion of the crimson light.
His slightly rapid breathing showed that Su Xing wasn't exactly taking it easy in this confrontation…
"It's Slaughter!"
"The Slaughter Dao!"
Su Xing was certain. After prolonged close-range contact, he had finally figured out the source of these crimson lights!
"Peak Sixth Realm Slaughter Dao… combined with Crimson Moon's terrifying mental power, and the innate talent of the Red-Eyed Clan?"
While dodging the attacks of the crimson light, Su Xing quickly considered his options.
Each beam of crimson light possessed incredible power!
If Su Xing were to be struck without any protection, he would likely be severely injured in an instant!
Although the situation was difficult, Su Xing's heart didn't fall into despair.
"However… I'm not completely without a fighting chance!"
"The gap between me and Crimson Moon… is slowly narrowing!"
"It's only the peak Sixth Realm Slaughter Dao… this means Crimson Moon is still quite a distance from regaining its peak power!"
Su Xing muttered to himself.
Crimson Moon, the first of the Seven Deadly Sins, the embodiment of Slaughter, the Lord of Slaughter!
At its peak, its mastery of the Slaughter Dao was undoubtedly at the peak Seventh Realm!
But after countless millennia…
Either because it hadn't fully resurrected, or due to the principle of "Dao's cannot be cultivated together"!
The emergence of a new Lord of Slaughter might have weakened Crimson Moon's grasp of the Slaughter Dao.
"Not enough… my offensive techniques are still too limited!"
"Red beams of light that solidify thoughts, trap minds in illusions, and drive targets into despair!"
"Mental power that can single-handedly block powerful attacks… and large-scale defensive group beams!"
"On top of that… the concretization of the Slaughter Dao!"
Su Xing silently calculated. After several hours of combat, thousands of exchanges.
Crimson Moon had only displayed a few abilities…
"Has it lost some of its abilities in the River of Time?"
"Or… is my current probing not deep enough?"
Su Xing frowned slightly. While the four techniques were already a formidable offensive and defensive combination, making it seem like Su Xing had no way to attack.
But Su Xing had a feeling… that Crimson Moon hadn't yet shown its full strength!
"No… my current self has absolutely no chance of killing Crimson Moon!"
"If this continues, this attack will not only yield no results, but also expose me in the simulation…"
"I must, force Crimson Moon to reveal more of its abilities, force it to reveal its trump cards!"
Su Xing, thinking this, gradually abandoned his defense, instead focusing on offense with a more manic approach!
Beams of crimson light pierced through Su Xing's body.
His chest, abdomen, thighs…
Even vital areas like his neck were pierced.
But with the aid of his terrifying Vital Energy and his regenerative abilities, these injuries, which would have crippled most, rapidly healed!
Feeling his Vital Energy rapidly depleting, Su Xing didn't hold back.
Protective Sword Aura, Void Sword, Five Elements Spirit Explosion Technique!
All sorts of offensive techniques were unleashed on Crimson Moon without mercy.
He completely ignored the consumption of his Spiritual Energy and Dao comprehension!
Under such a high-intensity barrage, Crimson Moon's near-perfect defense finally showed some cracks.
The enormous red eye hung high in the air, like a "mirage" existing between the ethereal and the real!
This wasn't the "physical body" that Su Xing had been fighting against.
It didn't bleed, nor did it experience pain in the way a living being would after being attacked.
The only thing Su Xing could judge was that Crimson Moon's aura seemed weaker than it had been at the start.
The very bottom of the abyss was filled with "Slaughter", "Rage", and other rules and emotions.
One day… two days… three days!
This battle lasted a full three days!
The lowest layer of the abyss, which was usually the most stable, was now in shambles.
The spatial fluctuations caused by the battle had practically destroyed all life and space below the seven hundredth layer of the abyss!
Yes, in just three days of fighting, the size of the abyss had been reduced by about a third!
This was the power of a Great Ethereal Golden Immortal battle!
As the battle continued, Su Xing's body was severely injured hundreds of times in just three days!
The terrifying Slaughter Dao devoured his flesh and blood relentlessly, while simultaneously slowing the speed of his wound recovery.
"Slaughter Dao… tsk tsk, it really is a terrifying Dao indeed!"
Su Xing deftly dodged a beam of crimson light, assessing his condition.
"My Vital Energy… is about one-fifth depleted!"
"Most of it was consumed by the Slaughter Dao!"
"And the Slaughter Dao has slowed my wound recovery by about ten times…"
After three days and nights of battle, Su Xing felt a sense of challenge.
Any Dao at the peak Sixth Realm was terrifying, let alone Slaughter, one of the top Daos.
After the Great Witch Body Tempering Art reached the seventh layer, Su Xing's regenerative ability had become comparable to the ancient Witch Clan!
Injuries like severed limbs or a thirty-centimeter hole in his chest, as long as he was willing to expend Vital Energy, could be healed in just a few breaths!
But under the peak Sixth Realm Slaughter Dao, the healing speed would be slowed to twenty or thirty breaths.
"Dao power, truly is the foundation… if this Slaughter Dao reaches the Seventh Realm, my wound recovery speed would likely come to a near standstill…"
"At that point, I would be completely crushed by Crimson Moon!"
Su Xing pondered constantly. After three days of relentless combat, he had a general understanding of Crimson Moon's strength.
According to the Great Ethereal Four Realms classification.
The first realm, the most ordinary Great Ethereal Golden Immortal, refers to all Great Ethereals ranked below 50 on the Prodigy List.
To give a specific example, a late-stage Great Ethereal Golden Immortal, whose mastery of a particular Dao is below the peak Sixth Realm.
Currently, relying on his dual cultivation of body and spirit, the coexistence of ten Daos, top-tier divine abilities, and other methods, Su Xing's strength was roughly at the peak of this stage.
The second realm, Great Ethereal True Person, cultivation reaching the peak of Great Ethereal Golden Immortal, at least one Dao reaching the peak Sixth Realm, as well as mastery of multiple top-tier divine abilities and spells, etc.
Great Ethereal Golden Immortals ranked between 50 and 20 on the Prodigy List were roughly at this stage.
The third realm, Great Ethereal True Monarch!
At least one Dao reaching the Seventh Realm, capable of ranking among the top 20 on the Prodigy List.
Currently, the combat power that Crimson Moon had shown was roughly at the peak of Great Ethereal True Person, nearing the level of a Great Ethereal True Monarch…
After all, this was a main god who had lived for countless years, though it had once died, its foundation was too profound.
Su Xing even suspected that Crimson Moon was not far from having its Slaughter Dao ascend to the Seventh Realm again, reaching the level of Great Ethereal True Monarch…
Of course, this was just a power division within the human cultivation system.
Su Xing didn't know if it was accurate for other races.
He could only say that after several days of fierce fighting, Su Xing had roughly determined Crimson Moon's combat power to be at this level.
This was on the premise that… Crimson Moon wasn't hiding many more techniques.
And in actual combat, the divisions weren't that absolute!
For example, if Su Xing were to activate his "Time Stop in a Breath", coupled with the "Five Elements Spirit Explosion Technique" and his "Unprincipled" talent.
He could, in a short period of time, threaten or even kill a Great Ethereal True Person!
After all, the Time Stop talent was simply too unreasonable.
But this ability, Su Xing could only use once.
Similarly, Su Xing's "One More Shot" talent gave him more confidence when facing Great Ethereal True Person-level experts.
After all, it was "two lives against one"!
"Tsk tsk… it really is a tough opponent!"
"Crimson Moon… is no paper tiger!"
Su Xing, taking advantage of a lull in the battle, drank a large gulp of immortal liquid, recovering a bit of Spiritual Energy, and then assessed his state.
"My Vital Energy still has more than half left… but my Dao comprehension is rapidly decreasing…"
"Spiritual Energy consumption can be replenished, but Dao comprehension depletion takes time…"
Su Xing estimated that if he were to completely deplete the comprehension of a particular Dao in his current state.
It would take at least three months to recover!
After all, these were Sixth Realm Daos, even recovery wasn't easy…
Of course, Su Xing also discovered that the "Dao Comprehension Pill" could speed up the recovery of Dao comprehension to a certain extent.
"Based on the current trend… I should be able to last at least another week?"
"Provided… I don't use those two trump cards…"
Su Xing quickly adjusted his state, preparing to take advantage of this rare opportunity to engage Crimson Moon in more combat.
After all, this was one of the few chances he would have to directly confront Crimson Moon!
Thus, Su Xing and Crimson Moon's fierce battle continued for another seven full days!
More than ten days of continuous, sleepless battle was not difficult for Su Xing.
But his opponent was Crimson Moon, which made things far from easy.
Especially since Su Xing had almost completely abandoned defense for the past ten days, unleashing powerful techniques like "Protective Sword Aura", "Void Sword", and "Five Elements Spirit Explosion Technique" with every attack.
This further accelerated Su Xing's consumption…
In a typical Great Ethereal Golden Immortal battle, it would often last for years or even decades, so why would he be so relentless?
Of course, it was precisely because of Su Xing's reckless offensive style that Crimson Moon's defense had shown weaknesses multiple times, forcing it to reveal more of its trump cards.
In ten days of fighting, Crimson Moon had used more than ten different abilities.
The "Dao" power it had used was no less than five!
All of them were at the peak Sixth Realm level!
Of course, the four strange abilities it used at the beginning were the most frequent.
The group defense "Crimson Light Barrier", the "Absolute Counter" that could reverse single attacks!
The "Crimson Beam" that deprives thinking and rapidly ages life, and the "Blood Rain" filled with the Slaughter Dao!
These were names Su Xing came up with himself.
And after more than ten days of hand-to-hand combat, a guess began to form in Su Xing's mind.
"Crimson Moon seems… different from ordinary Red-Eyed Clan members!"
"No, maybe I should say that Crimson Moon used to be a Red-Eyed Clan member!"
"But now, on the path of life and death it once traversed… Crimson Moon seems to have taken a different path!"
Su Xing narrowed his eyes, looking at the huge red eye in the sky, his hunch becoming stronger.
Su Xing called this path "Dao as Body"!
It was somewhat similar to the "Saint Merging with the Heavenly Dao" prevalent in the Immortal Cultivation world, but completely different!
Crimson Moon now seemed to have abandoned part of its "substantial physical body", transforming into a part of the "Slaughter" or "Death" Dao!
This made most physical attacks useless against it!
In the past ten days, the only two attack methods that Su Xing had found to be capable of injuring Crimson Moon were:
First, Primal Energy!
Primal Energy had the characteristic of "breaking all Daos", even the Dao itself, as long as there was enough high-level, pure Primal Energy, it could be destroyed!
Second, Dao Power!
Divine abilities containing a large amount of Dao power could also injure Crimson Moon's true form!
At least, Su Xing could feel that the aura of the moon in the sky was about one-tenth weaker than it had been ten days ago?
"Discarding the physical body in death, becoming part of the Dao?"
"In the end… it should still need to regain its physical body…"
Su Xing murmured.
Of course, compared to Crimson Moon, which was one-tenth weaker.
Su Xing's current combat power was only half of his peak strength.
"There's no need to drag this out any longer… with my current strength, I'm not strong enough to force Crimson Moon to reveal more of its trump cards…"
"If that's the case, then let's go all out!"
Su Xing took a deep breath, drank a large bottle of immortal liquid, and carefully adjusted his aura.
Su Xing hadn't used the "Five Elements Spirit Explosion Technique" for a week!
At this moment, his Five Elements Daos had basically recovered to about 80% of their peak state.
Enough to unleash that trump card!
Thinking this, Su Xing defended while gathering his Spiritual Energy with all his might.
One-tenth… one-third… half!
Nearly half of Su Xing's Spiritual Energy was gathered in his hand, condensed into an invisible vortex.
Gradually, a magnificent five-colored, iridescent flower bloomed in Su Xing's palm.
This was the ultimate compression of Spiritual Energy and Dao comprehension, all laid bare at this moment!
Yellow, green, blue, red, brown, black and white!
A total of seven colors, representing Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Yin and Yang, each with different ultimate Daos!
Su Xing called this technique the "Yin-Yang Five Elements Spirit Explosion Technique!"
It was also the strongest divine ability that Su Xing had painstakingly researched over the past six months!
Its power even surpassed Void Sword and Protective Sword Aura!
After all, the essence of this technique, the Five Elements and Yin-Yang Daos, had both reached the Sixth Realm for Su Xing!
This was a divine ability capable of severely injuring or even instantly killing a Great Ethereal Golden Immortal!
But because it was newly developed, this technique also had weaknesses.
It took too long to prepare, and the technique also needed a certain amount of time to hit the target!
Therefore, during this time!
Su Xing could only do his best to defend, his chest and abdomen riddled with gaping wounds, which quickly healed under his extreme vitality.
Finally… after half a quarter of an hour!
Su Xing, feeling his Spiritual Energy nearly drained, the iridescent flower finally fully solidified!
Dao concretization! The mark of a Great Ethereal Golden Immortal!
After all, the Sixth Realm of a Dao is known as… the True Realm of Dao!
And with the appearance of this iridescent flower, Crimson Moon in the sky also experienced emotions similar to "anxiety" and "panic"!
Su Xing sensed the slight emotional fluctuations, and the corners of his mouth curled up into a smile.
"Indeed, you are not invincible!"
"You also have… moments of fear!"
Su Xing was very pleased with Crimson Moon's reaction.
If his strongest move wasn't enough to threaten it, it would mean that the gap between them was still too great!
And right now, Su Xing clearly had the ability to threaten Crimson Moon!
With the appearance of the iridescent flower, Su Xing felt it.
Crimson Moon's attacks became even more frequent!
It even began to unleash large-scale "Crimson Beams" in an attempt to solidify Su Xing's thoughts and reduce his lifespan!
At the same time, a Crimson Light Barrier enveloped the entire sky, and the "Absolute Counter" that could deflect divine abilities also firmly surrounded Crimson Moon.
At this moment, Crimson Moon had taken its defense to the extreme!
"Heh… defense is useless!"
A hint of excitement and fanaticism flashed in Su Xing's eyes.
Then, Su Xing unleashed his talent, "Time Stop in a Breath!"
His lips parted slightly, as if a silent incantation escaped from his mouth!
The next second, the entire space fell silent!
In the deepest part of the abyss, not a single sound could be heard.
Divine abilities and spells were suspended in mid-air, seemingly in a state of arrested motion!
Even the "Crimson Beams" representing the Slaughter Dao were suspended in mid-air!
In the entire space, within a radius of ten thousand miles, the only thing that could move was Su Xing!
"Only… three seconds of time!"
(End of Chapter)
Chapter 476: The Death Dao Appears, Su Xing's Instantaneous Demise!
Su Xing took a deep breath and gently tossed the iridescent flower.
The colorful flower pierced through the Crimson Light Barrier and Absolute Counter… reaching the crimson pupil high in the sky.
A split-second before the Five Elements Immortal Explosion Technique erupted, Su Xing used a spatial divine ability to escape from the bottom of the abyss!
The next second, a brilliant five-colored light enveloped the entire bottom layer of the abyss!
Following the five-colored light, came the ultimate black and white, representing Yin and Yang!
The Yin-Yang Five Elements Immortal Explosion Technique had struck!
Within the realm of absolute time stop, even a Grand Primordial Immortal couldn't dodge Su Xing's attack!
"So, with such close-range Yin-Yang Five Elements power… can you withstand it, Crimson Moon?"
Su Xing narrowed his eyes, his divine sense reaching its peak at this moment, trying to see the situation at the bottom of the abyss.
As the entire bottom layer of the abyss shattered like gravel.
Even space was nearly annihilated under the extreme Yin-Yang Five Elements power.
Su Xing also saw Crimson Moon's form…
"It actually… survived?"
Su Xing frowned, looking at the crimson pupil, completely exposed in the void, resembling a moon.
This was the first time Su Xing had directly experienced the power of "Time Stop". Even against opponents stronger than himself, he could inflict heavy damage with a single blow!
However, the Yin-Yang Five Elements Spirit Explosion Technique was ultimately… not enough to kill Crimson Moon!
But, it was effective!
Su Xing could sense that Crimson Moon's aura had weakened by about a third!
That was three times higher than the total damage he had inflicted in the past ten days!
Unfortunately…
"Is the power of my entry-level Sixth Realm Five Elements and Yin-Yang Daos still insufficient?"
"Or… is my current Spiritual Energy still too weak?"
Su Xing sighed, knowing that his attempt had failed this time.
His strongest offensive technique, combined with his "Time Stop" trump card, had only managed to severely injure Crimson Moon…
The gap between Su Xing and Crimson Moon was still vast!
At this moment, Crimson Moon, which had been struck by Su Xing, displayed complex emotions.
Confusion? Anger? Terror? And a hint of greed…
Just now, Crimson Moon had been completely unable to see how Su Xing had injured its very essence!
By the time it reacted, half of the abyss had turned to dust.
And its essence had been severely injured…
"What kind of ability is this? Why do I feel like… something was stolen from me just now?"
Crimson Moon's fear wasn't about the power of Su Xing's attack to severely injure it.
Rather, it seemed to sense that something had been taken from it, yet it couldn't perceive it!
After the confusion, this emotion turned into greed!
As long as he killed this human before him, he could uncover the shocking secrets it held.
In fact, due to Crimson Moon's status, it instinctively sensed the abnormality that had occurred within it.
That is, it had been "robbed" of three seconds of time!
Three seconds, for mortals, was fleeting, hardly worth caring about.
Let alone for powerful beings?
Their casual retreats would last for countless sets of three seconds!
But being able to steal three seconds from such a being showed how high the status of Su Xing's talent was!
The reason why Crimson Moon couldn't perceive it was because it had lost too much power and even inherited memories during its time in death…
If it were at its peak, possessing the strength of a peak main god, it might have been able to sense those "stolen" three seconds.
But, it was only a perception…
For any being that hadn't delved into the power of time, they were powerless to resist those "stolen" three seconds!
However, even though it couldn't perceive it, this didn't stop Crimson Moon's anger towards Su Xing!
"Human… do you know how many years it took me to accumulate that essence?"
"Do you know… how furious I am now?"
"Since you wish to taste the flavor of death… then I shall show you what true death is!"
The crimson moon in the void deepened in color.
From normal red, it turned to dark red, then to a deep crimson…
Within the deep crimson, a streak of black began to spread.
A black speck, about the size of a fingernail, completely solidified and floated towards Su Xing like a gentle breeze.
The moment this black speck appeared, every hair on Su Xing's body stood on end, and his entire body was rendered immobile…
Just by seeing it for a moment, Su Xing understood what it was…
Death!
It was the Death Dao!
The most fundamental Death Dao… its power was roughly at the near-Seventh Realm level!
"Death… itself?"
Su Xing's movements were close to freezing, his thoughts seemed to slow down incredibly in the face of this black light.
In the distance, Crimson Moon, after releasing the black light, had clearly weakened.
Su Xing, looking at the near-Seventh Realm Death Dao in its purest form, remained silent for a long time.
"Is this Crimson Moon's confidence… a comprehension from death itself?"
"True Death itself!"
Su Xing could barely describe the profound nature of the Death Dao before him.
The flawless black possessed almost insurmountable power…
This was absolutely the most advanced Dao power Su Xing had ever seen!
Among the ten Daos Su Xing had mastered, only the Cause and Effect Destiny Dao could potentially stand against it.
But even then, it was slightly inferior…
Even Space and Yin-Yang Daos were inferior to this Death Dao by more than one level!
Seeing the Death Dao in an instant, Su Xing had a clear realization.
"The Death Dao… one of the supreme Daos?"
"Equivalent to… the pinnacle few among the Three Thousand Daos…"
"Is it also a Dao that can achieve the 'Dominator Realm'?"
At this moment, Su Xing pondered many things.
The Dominator Realm, in Su Xing's view, was equivalent to the Saint Realm!
But for other races, not every Dao could achieve Domination…
Only, the highest few!
Slaughter, clearly, wasn't qualified.
But Crimson Moon, within death, had comprehended a hint of the essence of the Death Dao!
Perhaps because Slaughter and Death had a fundamental connection, Crimson Moon had gained this power!
It also gave it a glimmer of a chance to achieve the Dominator Realm!
"So… that's how it is!"
"Crimson Moon hasn't fully resurrected because the Death Dao hasn't fully entered the Seventh Realm!"
"If it reaches the Seventh Realm, Crimson Moon will fully resurrect and possess the Main God Realm!"
"And as a master of a supreme Dao, Crimson Moon… once it enters the Main God Realm, its strength will be considered extremely powerful even among Main Gods?"
Su Xing's breathing quickened slightly…
Imagine… who could resist death?
Not even Main Gods or Grand Primordial Immortals could!
Whether they were long-lived or eternally alive, they could still be killed!
In that instant, Su Xing thought a lot, but neither his soul nor his body could move an inch…
When that hint of black surged into Su Xing's body.
Su Xing's physical body instantly perished…
Until, its life was completely extinguished!
At the same time, Crimson Moon's use of the Death Dao seemed to have exhausted a great deal of its energy.
Clearly, the Death Dao was not a power that a mere first-level deity could master!
Even Crimson Moon, once a peak main god, had only barely grasped a sliver of it in the midst of life and death, miraculously preserving it.
Every time it used the power of death, it was a drain on Crimson Moon's foundation!
And right now, in order to kill this hateful human and to explore its secrets, Crimson Moon had used this sliver of the Death Dao.
The black speck returned to the crimson moon.
Its previously weakened aura recovered somewhat.
Its tone was devoid of any emotion, neither joy nor sorrow.
"Human… having witnessed true death, you should consider yourself fortunate!"
"And now… I shall obtain all your secrets!"
With that, a crimson light surged from Crimson Moon, gradually transforming into a giant hand.
Just as this hand was about to grasp Su Xing's corpse…
The "corpse" miraculously began to move!
Dao power, Vital Energy, lifespan, Spiritual Energy, soul…
In just a blink of an eye, all signs of death seemed to never have happened!
Su Xing, as if awakened from a long sleep, was suddenly surprised, gasped for breath a few times, and a look of terror appeared on his face.
"So close! Almost… completely died!"
Su Xing's heart pounded, feeling the crimson hand that was about to grasp him suddenly retreat.
He glanced deeply at the crimson moon in the distant void, and Su Xing's soul voice echoed:
"Big eyeball! You're lucky this time!"
"I'm not playing with you anymore… I'm leaving!"
With that, Su Xing held nothing back, desperate to drain his Space Dao power.
He tore open the void, and in an instant, Su Xing traversed tens of millions of miles.
In just a few moments, Su Xing had crossed countless distances.
Leaving Crimson Moon stunned in place…
"No! Impossible!"
"How can there be a living being in this world that can resist the power of death!?"
The massive red eye flickered erratically.
Crimson blood vessels covered the pupil.
It was clear that Crimson Moon was in a state of extreme rage, terror, and confusion!
However… there was nothing it could do!
Crimson Moon hadn't fully resurrected, and its mastery of the Space Dao was inferior to Su Xing's.
At this moment, Su Xing had already disappeared into some unknown part of the void… there was no way Crimson Moon could catch up!
Who knew how much it had paid to use that sliver of the Death Dao?
And yet, it gained nothing…
…
An hour later!
In the void outside the Azure Cloud Realm, Su Xing gasped for breath continuously.
His Space Dao comprehension was nearly depleted, and the continuous teleportation had taken a heavy toll on his physical strength and body!
In just one hour, Su Xing had pushed his Space Dao to its limits!
From the endless abyss near Blue Star, to Little Azure Cloud Realm, and then directly to the outside of the Azure Cloud Realm!
He had crossed more than a dozen void nodes and countless spatial distances…
Seeing the Azure Cloud Realm so close at hand, Su Xing felt a little relieved.
"Crimson Moon, the Death Dao… truly is a terrifying ability!"
Su Xing's heart was still beating rapidly, his strong pulse confirming that he was still alive!
The events of an hour ago were still fresh in his mind!
That hint of black, seemingly capable of erasing everything, was still vivid!
"Thankfully, the Death Dao is only close to the Seventh Realm… it hasn't completely reached the Seventh Realm!"
Su Xing recovered, narrowed his eyes, and recalled that near-death experience from an hour ago!
The near-Seventh Realm Dao power was indeed terrifying!
It was a suppression of status, rendering all of Su Xing's defensive methods, even his extreme Vital Energy, ineffective!
But thankfully, death takes time…
The Death Dao falling on Su Xing, until it caused Su Xing's complete death, only took a short moment.
But it still needed time!
Although in that instant, Su Xing's mind was nearly frozen, he still triggered his "One More Shot" talent!
This was why Su Xing's "corpse" had appeared and then quickly resurrected, creating an "illusion"!
"Truly frightening… if this Death Dao fully enters the Seventh Realm, it would likely trigger even faster!"
"At that time, even 'One More Shot' might not be able to save me!"
Su Xing muttered.
After all, "One More Shot" only allowed Su Xing, no matter how close to death or how severely injured, to instantly recover to his peak state.
It didn't allow Su Xing to be resurrected from the dead!
"It seems that the 'One More Shot' talent isn't invincible either!"
Su Xing was still a little apprehensive.
Originally, relying on his Time Stop and One More Shot talents, he had been fearless.
He figured that no matter how badly he was defeated, survival wasn't a problem!
But the moment the Death Dao appeared, Su Xing had lost his ability to resist.
He had almost… if his luck had been slightly worse, Su Xing wouldn't even have had a chance to use "One More Shot"!
"The Death Dao… what a terrifying Dao indeed!"
Su Xing rubbed his temples with a hint of helplessness.
This exploratory simulation was over!
The good news was that Su Xing had probed Crimson Moon's trump card.
The bad news was that this trump card was too strong!
So strong that even Su Xing, for the next year or two, would likely have no ability to resist!
"Unless, I master a Dao on par with Death… or, ascend to Grand Primordial Immortal!"
Su Xing shook his head slightly.
It seemed that before Crimson Moon resurrected, Su Xing wouldn't have a chance.
The only opportunity would be after Crimson Moon resurrected, before it regained its Main God Realm, that is, before the Death Dao broke through to the Seventh Realm.
Su Xing would then have a sliver of a chance.
And the time he had was about four years!
After four years, even if Su Xing possessed the strength of a Grand Primordial Immortal, facing Crimson Moon, who mastered the Death Dao, killing it would still be incredibly difficult!
"Sigh, for now, to save Blue Star… I can only rely on my Inferior Demon Deity identity!"
Su Xing sighed, thankfully, he wasn't completely at a dead end yet.
Using his Inferior Demon identity as a shield, Su Xing was confident he could protect Blue Star.
At that time, even if Crimson Moon recovered its strength.
But once he had no more worries in the rear, and the front line was extended… Su Xing wouldn't be so afraid anymore!
"So, my Inferior Demon persona's mastery of the Space Dao… needs to reach the Sixth Realm Great Accomplishment as soon as possible!"
Su Xing muttered.
The Immersive Simulation had nearly ten years left.
Su Xing went to the Azure Cloud Sect, completed his transaction with Azure Cloud Ancestor, and after staying in the Azure Cloud Sect for several years, he headed towards the Heavenly Mechanism Domain.
…
The Immersive Simulation soon ended, and Su Xing returned to reality.
Rubbing his temples, Su Xing murmured:
"The good news is that after the battle with Crimson Moon, it suffered a lot of losses… its resurrection time is delayed by half a year!"
"The time it takes to recover its Main God strength is also delayed by a year or two…"
"But, this doesn't change anything!"
"Before I have the absolute power to kill Crimson Moon, I absolutely cannot reveal any flaws in reality!"
Su Xing thought this.
"The main purpose of this simulation has been achieved… to probe Crimson Moon's strength!"
"The purpose was indeed achieved… but Crimson Moon is still untouchable for now!"
"Then, for the remaining time, I will focus on cultivation!"
Su Xing wanted to see how his cultivation speed would be after advancing to Great Ethereal.
"After becoming a Great Ethereal Golden Immortal, the accumulation required for realm advancement is too much… I'm afraid I won't be able to improve as quickly as before!"
"However, it's just a matter of time!"
Su Xing muttered, his gaze falling on the simulation panel.
[Tenth Year, you arrive at the Heavenly Mechanism Domain.]
[You went to the Fifth Heaven and traveled through the Heavenly Mechanism Domain, beginning to search for various Heaven and Earth Treasures to enhance your cultivation and Vital Energy.]
[Eightieth Year, you return to the White Cloud Realm and begin formal cultivation.]
[At this moment, in your Spiritual Field Cavern, a pond of Immortal Liquid has accumulated.]
[You cultivate the Zhengyi Breathing Art every day, like a siphon, converting the Immortal Liquid into pure cultivation… ]
[However, it's still too slow!]
[The Spiritual Energy of a Great Ethereal Golden Immortal is like an endless ocean.]
[While cultivating with Immortal Liquid leads to rapid cultivation growth, it's only like a slightly larger bucket. To try and fill the entire ocean with a bucket is ultimately too slow… ]
[The good news is that you can now stay within the Luotian Realm to enhance your cultivation!]
[Controlling the time difference between inside and outside to ten times, your daily Spiritual Energy consumption is less than one percent.]
[Such a small amount of consumption barely affects your cultivation speed.]
[Thus, two hundred years pass in the blink of an eye.]
[Three Hundredth Year, the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion Immortal Ship arrives… ]
[Three Hundred and Twentieth Year, the Immortal Ship Defense War breaks out!]
[Next, as you planned, you entered the Heavenly Mechanism Domain and cultivated daily with the aid of the Luotian Realm.]
[Until, two hundred years later.]
[Five Hundred and Twentieth Year, you begin to comprehend Daos!]
In the real world, Su Xing saw this and silently said:
"Using the Immersive Simulation… duration 274 years!"
[Ding… remaining energy origin 106,606,697 points…]
…
Soon, the two-hundred-year Immersive Simulation ended.
Su Xing's consciousness returned to reality.
"Not bad… with the help of the Void Mirror and various Dao Essence Treasures, my Space Dao is closer to Sixth Realm Minor Accomplishment…"
"The war in the eighth hundredth year is about to break out!"
"Let's see how the results of this simulation turn out?"
Su Xing's gaze fell on the simulation panel.
[Eighth Hundredth Year, the Heavenly Mechanism Domain erupts in war!]
[This war lasted for a hundred years, but you did not participate. Instead, you went to the Heavenly Demon Domain!]
[Upon reaching the Heavenly Demon Domain, you found the Heavenly Demon General and activated the Luotian Treasure Orb.]
[You began to cultivate Spiritual Domain secret techniques under the guidance of the Luotian Ancestor, while also diligently cultivating.]
[After the Great Witch Body Tempering Art broke through to the seventh layer, your Vital Energy and physical body broke through their shackles and grew again.]
[The Primal Energy Tree within your body also grew again!]
[But it's still too slow… the improvement of body tempering cultivation is even slower than Spiritual Energy cultivation… ]
