Chereads / Peak Cultivator's Slice of Life / Chapter 4 - Watching War

Chapter 4 - Watching War

On that land, Asher saw billions of cities, some of unimaginable size.

The mighty aura of the Great Paragons could be felt in every corner, whether they were hiding underground or within the city.

And the Ordinary Paragons, there were more than ten thousand of them.

Of course, with the vastness of the Sacred Silk Realm, each Ordinary Paragon could practically rule over an infinite territory.

"Mm..."

Asher's cultivation suddenly experienced a rapid decline.

He who originally exuded the aura of a Void Master turned into an Ordinary Paragon.

This wasn't because he disguised his aura, but because this Great Universe suppressed his power.

Everyone who entered a Greater Universe that was not their original place experienced this unless they reincarnated into that Great Universe. That includes Artificial Great Universes as long as the rules within prohibit outsiders from entering.

To counter this pressure, it can only be done by the main avatars of Void Masters and even then it must be a Universe Void Master. True Void Masters cannot resist that pressure. Even with a primary avatar, they were still suppressed because in terms of strength, they were still lacking compared to a Great Universe.

Of course, that was not something the Universe Void Masters or Dao Progenitors would do as it would only make the Great Universe they entered explode.

And Void Masters cannot reincarnate into another Great Universe.

"I feel like an ant," Asher said as he looked at his hands with a strange smile.

An Ordinary Paragon already had the power to destroy a Small Universe with a single blow, but to him now, it was indeed just an ant.

In fact, as an avatar of a suppressed Dao Progenitor with his level of understanding of the Dao, his combat power far surpassed that of an Ordinary Paragon. He was equivalent to a 2nd Stage Great Paragon but in the end, such strength was also just an ant in his eyes.

As for the weak avatars of Universe Void Masters, they were only equivalent to 1st Stage Great Paragons. It was unattractive because those Ordinary Paragons who cultivated their combat power to the highest level could also compete with 1st Stage Great Paragons.

However, no matter how much of a genius they were, it was still impossible for them to compete with a 2nd Stage Great Paragon. That could only be done by avatars of the Progenitor Dao.

As for all the experts under the Void Master who entered into another Great Universe by teleporting from their Great Universe, they would be the weakest Paragons.

Asher descended from the sky, continuing to observe the land below.

Before long, he landed on a large mountain in a remote region where many weak tribes lived.

These tribes were only led by a High Level Ancient Sage or a Low Level Great Sage but on average, they had hundreds of thousands to millions of members.

They endured a very harsh life, especially their members who were weak and could be victimized by powerful expert battles.

Plus, this Sacred Silk Realm had quite a few cultivators who became demons. They could capture trillions of humans to cultivate into various things. The most frequent targets were naturally the tribes in this remote region.

Just because this was a Great Universe created by the Universe Void Masters, this didn't mean they cared about taking care of it.

They only left a legacy and did not care about anything else.

What they hoped for was the emergence of a new Void Master from that Great Universe, even if they were demons it didn't matter, what mattered was that they were Dao Cultivators.

For the sake of the emergence of one such figure, they didn't care about the number of casualties.

Asher observed tribe after tribe from the top of the mountain, each of them had a village but it was too big to be called a village.

Today, the tribes seemed to be in great worry.

This is because far to the west and to the east, there are very tense auras, one is a very hot aura while the other is a very sharp aura full of murderous intent.

The two auras enveloped a region of billions of kilometers, like their owners were about to engage in a life and death battle.

Both were the auras of the Paragons, which were enough to frighten even the Peak Great Sages.

"It looks like there's going to be a big war here," Asher said.

He could sense that each of the experts was bringing countless troops, reaching hundreds of millions.

When the two sides clashed, the level of destruction was truly unimaginable.

Asher waited to see the war.

As the sky began to darken, the aura pressure only became denser so that the tribes in the remote region found it difficult to breathe.

They were increasingly frightened, helpless against this force due to their weak strength.

Even their leaders were rendered powerless. The timid few chose to flee on their own.

Rumble! Rumble!

Finally, armies came from the east and west under the dark sky but they were clearly visible because of the light from their auras.

Each numbered in the millions, consisting not only of humans, but also giants and mountain-like monsters.

In the east, the leader of the army was a shirtless old man.

His body was large and muscular, surrounded by red flames that were so hot they could be felt from afar.

He seemed to be able to easily burn the vast land below to ashes.

Whatever the leader of the troops from the west was was a woman who seemed to be only in her early 20s.

She had a very pretty face with blushing red lips and black hair neatly put in a bun, wearing an elegant black kimono dress and carrying a fairly long samurai sword, which she held upside down.

Asher stared at her for a while longer, thinking, 'This girl is quite talented. She seems to be reincarnated from another Great Universe but overall, she is only 500 billion years old!'

His eyes lit up somewhat, peering into the girl's past.

It turned out that she also started out as an ordinary human in a small cultivation world.

Only, she was a princess by birth and had an extraordinary talent with the ability to comprehend the Dao of Destruction so that she could become a Star Knight when she was 12 years old and a Star King when she was 20 years old.

She rose very quickly with a domineering nature.

Her ambition was not only for more strength, but also for power.

When she led her kingdom, she declared war on many kingdoms to conquer them.

Even later she began to conquer other worlds.

Year after year, she truly managed to become the strongest in her universe and forced everyone to recognize her as the ruler.

The path was easy, but when she went outside the small universe to the Great Universe, only then did she run into many problems.

She could not continue to dominate because it was too difficult to advance quickly.

In the end, she even encountered dangers that were certain to kill her.

The good thing was that she had gotten the chance to reincarnate into this Sacred Silk Realm, so she used it to escape the enemy that almost killed her.

Here, she finally progressed drastically, becoming a Paragon when she was 400 billion years old.

That could be said to be very fast. After 100 billion years, her foundation became even more extraordinary.

She began to show her domineering nature again by taking control of many territories.

Her name was Yi Mingxue and she did not make a title for herself.

That shirtless old man, the Fire Sea King stared at Yi Mingxue with bulging eyes.

"Little girl, it's not wrong for you to challenge other Paragons, yet you dare to challenge me, if your strength is insufficient, don't blame me for being cruel," he said.

His eyes began to emit flames that were so hot that smoke rose on the land below.

Compared to the other Paragons, he was clearly much stronger.

The heat from his flames seemed to have reached the power of a Stage 1 Great Paragon. This meant that he was transcendent among the Paragons, called a Transcendent Paragon.

Yi Mingxue looked at him with cold eyes and an indifferent expression.

"I hope you don't try to escape when you lose. Yeah, even if you try, it will also be in vain..."

Shua!

She instantly lunged towards the Fire Sea King, disappearing from people's eyes because she was too fast.

The Fire Sea King was extremely surprised when he saw her speed where she easily pierced through space.

"You've reached the speed of a Great Paragon," he said in a slightly trembling voice.

There were three main things in combat, attack power, defense, and speed.

Compared to attack and defense, developing speed to the level of a Great Paragon was much more difficult, especially for those who did not master the Dao that did not increase speed.

"Not even just speed," Yi Mingxue replied before slashing her sword towards the old man.

Bruakkk!

Space within a radius of billions of kilometers was torn apart due to the movement of her sword, showing just how profound her Dao of Destruction was.

The Fire Sea King's expression quickly soured when he saw that.

This was because he realized that Yi Mingxue's attack power had also reached the level of a Great Paragon.

Whoosh!

He sent out an enormous fireball to counterattack.

It was the size of a small universe.

Fighting at their level, only fellow Paragons could see.

Below them, could only see explosion after explosion in the vast sky.

"Charge!" Yi Mingxue's army then attacked the Fire Sea King's army.

Instantly, war broke out above the sky, resulting in countless storms.

Corpses began to fall and the resulting shockwaves leveled many mountains.

At the highest place, the forces of fire and destruction collided with each other.

Their respective attacks produced ripples that were felt by many experts in the Sacred Silk Realm. They began watching from afar, taking it seriously as this included a battle of sovereigns.

"Yi Mingxue is truly unfathomable. It has only been 100 billion years since she became a Paragon, yet she has already increased her speed and attacks to the level of a Great Paragon. She is indeed a great genius." The watching experts began to discuss secretly through telepathy.

"Mm, some Emperors will probably try to take her on as a disciple," another replied.

The so-called Emperors were the 3rd Stage Great Paragons who obtained the Supreme Weapon.

With that weapon, their combat power increased drastically so that the 3rd Stage Great Paragons who did not have the Supreme Weapon could only flee in front of them.

"The Fire Sea King is in trouble now. It will be difficult for him to escape at Yi Mingxue's speed. After all, he doesn't have teleportation ability."

"True, but it's not easy for Yi Mingxue to defeat him either. The Fire Sea King can continue to parry her attacks with attacks. The attacks of the Dao of Destruction may be stronger, but the attacks of the Dao of Fire are not weak either."

"..."

Meanwhile, Asher was still watching from below.

His existence was like dust, unnoticed by anyone.

In his eyes, the fight above was just the fight of two ants, one slightly larger than the other.

He found the woman's talent interesting, so he continued to watch this battle.

Although he had a special purpose in this Sacred Silk Realm, he didn't mind accepting a disciple if he met a good talent.

After all, he was not a reclusive expert. The number of his disciples had reached thousands.

He also doesn't really consider what his students are like, whether they are kind-hearted or selfish. What matters to him is that they have talent and determination.

Only those with talent and determination could forge ahead when given the chance.

Of course, determination is more important. Lacking that, any opportunity would be useless.
