How would the destructive might of the detonation of the 49 Great Overarching Dao Vessels be?
Jiang Ming finally witnessed it.
The intensity of such power shocked him. There was even a sense of despair that loomed over his heart. If it wasn’t for the privilege of consuming points as the group admin of the Supreme Pagoda chat group, he wouldn’t have done such a thing and would instead have fled long ago.
As for the waste of Dao vessels?
They were merely some Great Overarching Dao Vessels, not considered to be of great expense to his net-worth.
Since Jiang Ming began cultivating, he had barely done anything and would try to avoid them whenever he could.
As for the battles in the Supreme Pagoda? They were just to pass through the levels after all.
As for reality? He also wanted to keep participating in great battles and completely releasing himself from his own shackles. However, there were very few occasions that allowed him to.
Now that he had descended into another chiliocosm and the shackles on himself were all gone. When would it be best to cause a scene if not now?
Standing in the middle of the torrent, Jiang Ming saw the layers of the Laws Net’s defensive barriers being destroyed.
He also saw the power of the Heaven Court’s great formation array evoked by Cang Xuan being destroyed.
He even saw that the power of authority triggered by Cang Xuan collapsed quickly under the bombardment of the destructive torrent.
Of course, he saw the Bear Tyrant’s tragic death on the spot.
Mo Hei evoked his three orbs to defend himself but was also torn apart by the eruption while his figure drowned in the divine luminance.
Great Monarch Hongyun was not much better himself.
The Immortals Officials of the Heaven Court who were watching the battle and the experts who came here later, all evoked their life-saving special abilities, sacrificing their supreme Dao vessels, but were all submerged in the torrent of destruction without exception.
If you looked at it from the Heavenly Realm, you would discover that above the heavens, between the sun and the moon, space was suddenly distorted and a huge world appeared itself.
Immortal luminance was flowing in the huge world and there were sacred lands everywhere. The many palaces spread to the end of the sky, and there were even places such as the Immortal Medicinal Garden.
Such a scene was simply beyond imagination.
However, many experts of the Heavenly Realm recognized it at first sight: This was the Heavenly Court.
Why did it manifest itself? The drastic change in the very next moment shocked all sentient beings of the Heavenly Realm.
To think that a torrent suddenly erupted right from the very middle of the mighty and domineering Heavenly Court, which later swept through the entire Heaven Court as well.
It didn’t matter whether it was the Immortal Palace, array formation or even the Laws Net. Everything was destroyed in an instant.
The whole Heaven Court was blown into pieces. Billions of years of accumulated resources, arrangement, wealth, billions of Immortal Soldiers and Immortal Generals, were blown into ashes.
The sky became distorted from the eruption, as the laws collapsed. High above in the sky, it was as if a hundred thousand suns exploded at the same time, drowning the world in its luminance. Even the sky was also torn apart, forming countless spatial black holes, as the destructive power was sucked in.
All of the sentient beings on earth were stunned by the whole ordeal.
It took a long time before the torrent of bombardment gradually dissipated, followed with hundreds of millions of fragments falling from the sky, turning into meteors as they crashed in all directions.
Most of these fragments however, were sucked into the spatial torrents.
“The Heaven Court was blown up?”
“It seems like it. It looks like it. Is it really blown up?!”
“I rubbed my eyes three times and shocked my primal spirit nine times to see if I’m awake. Damn it! The Heaven Court has really blown up!”
“How can that be possible?”
“I know right? How is that possible! That’s the Heaven Court. It’s the place with the highest number of experts and also the place with the strongest defense. There is no place in the world that is more powerful than Heaven Court. How could it have exploded?”
“Who knows? But it is certain that the world is going to be in chaos.”
“With the Heaven Court in ruins, there’s no reason why the world wouldn’t fall into chaos!
“What you said left me speechless!”
“I don’t care if you’re speechless! What I want to know most now is, why did the Heaven Court blow itself up, and who was behind it?”
“Who can even destroy the Heaven Court? I’m afraid there’s only the…”
“Saint Lords!”
Many experts on earth had the same speculation and all their expressions changed before falling into silence.
When it involved such a high cultivation level, what else could they do other than remaining silent?
The Saint Lords dominated the vast sky and earth. The hundreds of millions of sentient beings were just pieces on a chessboard.
They had no control over their own destiny and could only follow what’s coming for them. They could only cry out in despair that their fates wereup to the heavens, rather than themselves.
High up in the sky, a figure finally appeared from the explosion. He stood in the torrent with his body straight and a strange power seemed to have surrounded him. The power blocked the torrents from injuring him regardless of how much the torrents raged on.
In his surroundings, many figures gradually appeared, all in dire straits.
Among them were the Heavenly Emperor and Yin Zhan, who were in the best state. It seemed as though they were not affected in any way.
Yin Zhan was, of course, sheltered by the Heavenly Emperor himself. Otherwise, it would be unreasonable for him to stay alive with his level of cultivation.
Dongfang Changqing was also alive. After all, he was the Verdant Emperor. He could control the Laws Net and also held a part of the power of authority. Even so, he was also in dire straits.
There were about a dozen people around him. They were all the Heaven Court’s warriors who were barely sheltered by him, all who were above the Great Overarching Immortal Realm.
There were also two other Heaven Court’s Venerates who survived the explosion. Not only were they unable to shelter any Immortal officials, they themselves were also in an extremely dire strait that even their breath were unstable.
As for Great Monarch Hongyun, Mo Hei and the likes, all of them ended up dead.
They were at the dead center when the Dao Vessels were detonated. Unable to control the power of the Laws Net or mobilize the power of the Heaven Court, it was impossible for them to survive the explosion.
Putting them aside, there were still a number of experts on the edge of the Heaven Court who survived, but their total number was not more than a thousand.
The power from the detonation eventually dissipated completely, leaving only the howling winds raging all around.
High above the sky, it was dead silent.
The surviving experts had a gloomy and terrifying look on their face as they stared at Jiang Ming with immense anger, an anger that could not be put out even when they were to die.
Dongfang Changqing was the same.
“How are you still alive?” Cang Xuan finally spoke.
Who was the angriest among them? It was none other than the Heavenly Emperor himself.
As the Heavenly Emperor, the Heaven Court was his domain. It was his territory where most of his most loyal subordinates reside. But what of it now?
Everything had gone.
His anger, his rage, his fury, his madness, his resentment. All of them were suppressed by him.
“How would I kill myself with my own technique?” Jiang Ming smiled, “I told you again and again not to mess with me. There was always room for discussion. In the end, all of you still wanted to mess me up. Especially you, Cang Xuan! You still wanted to scheme on me and use me in your plan of taking over the world. How did that end up? It’s a dead loss for you now! Happy now? Go mad!”
“I…” Cang Xuan pointed at Jiang Ming and almost cursed out loud.
Fortunately, he held back as he wanted to protect his pride as the Heavenly Emperor.
The extreme anger in his eyes however, materialized as it burned through the void in front of him, creating countless holes.
“Now that it has come to this. I must kill you even if I didn’t want to!” Cang Xuan took a deep breath and suppressed the monstrous anger in him and sighed.
“That’s right! You must be killed now.” Dongfang Changqing sighed as well. He looked at Jiang Ming and said, “Why did you do this?”
“Well brother Changqing, if I don’t do this in the main hall of the Heavenly Palace, are you suggesting for me to reveal my neck to be slaughtered instead?” Jiang Ming said with a smile.
“Haish…” Dongfang Changqing sighed, “If it were me, I might’ve done the same thing without any hesitation. Yet after all this, I am still the Verdant Emperor of the Heaven Court. Fellow Taoist Jiang, I will be your enemy rather than a friend from now on!”
“I have a very good impression of you, Taoist Changqing. My advice to you would be not to be my enemy. You really shouldn’t. You’ll die!” Jiang Ming sincerely exclaimed.
Dongfang Changqing was horrified upon hearing his words. The current him couldn’t be more serious about Jiang Ming’s remark.
He began wondering whether Jiang Ming meant it and that he really had the capability to kill him?
Jiang Ming was, after all, being targeted by the Heavenly Emperor. The other experts from Tai Xuan Gate, God Clan and also the Sacred Sect were rushing over as they spoke.
Now that Jiang Ming no longer had as many Dao vessels as he did, Dongfang Changqing was wondering what was the source of his confidence? Perhaps he still had other cards under his sleeves?
“After all this, I am still the Verdant Emperor!” Dongfang Changqing was also very serious as he spoke, “Fellow Taoist Jiang, detonating Dao vessels while you are still at the Great Overarching Cultivation Realm is a taboo technique and I believe should come with a great price. When you evoked the detonations, the soul imprint on the Dao vessels will also be annihilated. Those were all Great Overarching Dao vessels after all. To be able to refine all of them, the soul imprint left on them must’ve been extremely strong. To be able to detonate so many of them at the same time, it stands to reason that you wouldn’t be able to bear the backlash. Yet, why do you still seem fine, as though nothing has happened?”
He was really puzzled.
Even the Heavenly Emperor himself was puzzled.
Jiang Ming merely smiled. Would I be telling you that when I detonated the Great Overarching Dao Vessels, I would be able to avoid my Primal Spirit from getting destroyed by using the Human Path Record?
“I naturally have my own ways!” As he replied, he asked a question instead, “The Heaven Court was founded by the Saint Lords. Now that it has been destroyed, why doesn’t the Saint Lord show himself?”
Dongfang Changqing fell silent.
“He didn’t show up because I am enough to kill you!” Cang Xuan couldn’t answer either. As he waved his hand to teleport Yin Zhan over to the ends of the world, he then walked towards Jiang Ming with a murderous look on his face. “You brought my Heaven Court to ruins, shattered the backbone of my great chiliocosm and stomped all our dignity onto the ground. Today, it’s either your death or mine!”
As he raised his hand and pointed upwards, the sky went on riot. Endless thunderclouds gathered above, turning into an eye of tribulation, aiming directly at Jiang Ming.
