Eternal Emperor's Path to Ascension-Chapter 279: Tian Yun’s Divine Might, A Lower Realm Ant?

"What do you mean by that?"

Tian Yun's voice transmission through the Communication Jade was full of seriousness.

The voice from the other end sounded a bit hesitant as it continued.

"Originally, we were suppressing the demonic forces with our overwhelming number of high end powerhouses after the mighty figures from beyond the stars came back to the mortal world.

Even if the number of demonic cultivators and Demons were great if combined, their high end combat strength was still lacking due to not having as much foundation as us after the Heaven Man Crusade countless years ago.

However, since a few years ago, mysterious powerhouses, even Half Immortals, have started to emerge from the side of the demonic forces. It means they either hid their strength or are colluding with forces from beyond the Second Great Mortal World, possibly the other Great Mortal Worlds or hidden experts of the demonic path and Demon Race spread throughout the Lower Realm.

Of course, all of this is based on my speculations. Our Human Race experts are still out there, after all, secretly watching every move of the demonic forces. But the situation is becoming increasingly dire. Saint Master, what should we do now?"

Tian Yun's expression turned solemn as he listened to the voice from the other end of the Communication Jade.

Seeing this, the Wrathful Asura King sneered, ignoring his fatal injuries as he laughed loudly.

"Ha..hahaha! What Nine Extremities Sword Celestial, what strongest cultivator of the Second Great Mortal World! In the end, you are still a mere mortal, not even an ant in the face of the worldly powers behind me! Even Kunlun Divine Mountain of the Upper Realm won't be able to protect you!"

His tone carried a hint of madness, his Demonic Energy surging wildly as the surrounding void cracked, shattering like glass before being mended by the heavenly rules.

Tian Yun's expression darkened, Sword Qi overflowing within him as the sky over his head cracked, a powerful sword light tearing open heaven and earth.

Terrifying Spiritual Energy swept over, completely suppressing the wild Demonic Energy as an overbearing Sword Intent tore through the skies, a giant Sword Qi opening up the heavens as it locked onto the Wrathful Asura King below.

All living beings within tens of thousands of miles were shocked by the momentum of the ten thousand feet tall Sword Qi, hovering right over Tian Yun's head, it's tip directly facing the Wrathful Asura King.

Nearby, the Sword God and Blade Saint's pupils slightly dilated at the sight of this seemingly unparalleled Sword Qi. Even the Fiendish Sword Supreme and the others were left in a daze at the Sword Intent filling the air.

"So this is the might of the Saint Master of this generation's Kunlun Divine Mountain, the strongest cultivator in the world... Truly extraordinary."

Sword God Qing Yunzi's voice held a trace if admiration as he spoke. Tian Yun was younger than him by many years. Yet, the latter was still so overwhelmingly more powerful than him.

As a Sword Cultivator, the Sword God naturally held deep respect for Tian Yun in his heart, which rose by a notch after witnessing this scene.

The Wrathful Asura King's face changed drastically as he hurriedly circulated his Demonic Energy, attempting to resist the overwhelming Sword Intent bombarding him.

With a cold snort, Tian Yun's supremely powerful Sword Qi surged forward towards the Wrathful Asura King, containing terrifying Sword Intent and Spiritual Energy that pierced through the latter's body.

The Wrathful Asura King had no way to resist at all, the Half Immortal blood spraying across the vast sky, the terrifying pressure spreading in all directions.

The blood of a Half Immortal contained the power to annihilate low level cultivators below the Golden Core Realm, and at the same time, it was also an extremely powerful tonic, capable of elevating a mortal to terrifying heights within a year if used wisely.

Yet, more than one Half Immortal had fallen

in the past several years.

It had to be known that even a single Half Immortal falling in the Second Great Mortal World was a significant event, as cultivators at the Tribulation Transcendence Realm or above would generally ascend to the Upper Realm once they started approaching their lifespan limitations. Some even chose to ascend right after reaching the peak of the Tribulation Transcendence Realm.

So, the only cases in which a Half Immortal or even Immortal Ascension Realm experts would fall was due to battles with other powerful beings, hidden injuries and inexplicable reasons.

A Half Immortal falling was a one in a hundred thousand year event for the Immortal Cultivation World of the Second Great Mortal World.

This made the fact that several Half Immortals had fallen in the past few years even more incredulous.

However, for a war of the Righteous-Demonic War's scale that would only occur once in millions of years, it was understandable that even Half Immortals would be unable to withstand the immense pressure when countless mighty figures emerged.

Right now, all cultivators within a radius of tens of thousands of miles had their eyes fixed on the scene of the Wrathful Asura King shooting backwards like a broken kite, each drop of his blood colliding with the heavenly rules and tearing open the void.

Before the Wrathful Asura King could even stabilize himself midair, the Sword Qi rushed forward, the tip of the Sword Qi piercing his abdomen as it suddenly exploded with a loud sound.

*Boom!*

The Sword Qi erupted with a vast Sword Intent, spreading across countless miles, precisely annihilating the bodies and souls of demonic cultivators and Demons with no exception. Not even the few Immortal Ascension Realm experts from the demonic forces nearby were spared.

As the blinding light of the explosion subsided, what came into view was not the Wrathful Asura King, but a Nascent Soul exuding chaotic and turbulent Demonic Energy, purplish black in color.

This was the soul of the Wrathful Asura King!

Initially, he struggled to escape, but after realizing that his form was bound by Tian Yun's Spiritual Energy, he had no choice but to stop and look at Tian Yun with a resentful, almost mocking expression.

Tian Yun stretched out his right hand, and the Nascent Soul immediately appeared on his palm.

Before the Wrathful Asura King could say anything, a vast and horrifying Divine Sense enveloped his entire being and invaded his consciousness.

Tian Yun knew that there was no need to argue with the Wrathful Asura King, he could directly soul search to get information out of the other party.

His Divine Sense immediately began to read the memories of the Wrathful Asura King like a book, hundreds of thousands of years of life flashed past his eyes, but his powerful Divine Sense discarded all the useless memories and focused on the most important ones, hidden in the depths of the Asura King's conscious.

All memories that had been deeply engraved into one's mind were usually located in the deepest parts of one's consciousness. This was for Immortal Cultivators and mortals alike.

Immediately, Tian Yun's eyes slightly condensed as he retracted his Divine Sense, his cold gaze sweeping over the surroundings.

"I already know all about your plan. Do you still want to keep hiding like rats?"

Tian Yun's voice, low but domineering, echoed throughout ten thousand miles.

At that moment, the void was torn asunder under multiple terrifying and overbearing pressures as the heavenly rules shook, dark clouds gathered above the sky like the wrath of the heavens.

The Blade Saint, Sword God, and Demon Lord Nine Calamities all came to Tian Yun's side, looking around them with gloomy expressions.

Just then, a loud voice rang out, spreading across tens of thousands of miles, full of disdain and arrogance.

"A mere Lower Realm ant dares to be so presumptuous before this one? Courting death!"

A terrifying palm condensed from extremely pure Spiritual Energy materialized in the sky, crashing down towards Tian Yun and the others like the will of heaven.

Tian Yun's eyes narrowed, Sword Intent bursting out of his entire body, instantly crushing the Wrathful Asura King's soul and covering Tian Yun with divine light all over as he advanced step by step, seemingly not afraid of the huge palm falling from the sky at all.

*Swoosh!*

He waved his hand, Sword Intent and Spiritual Energy materializing into a thousand feet tall Sword Qi, colliding with the huge palm midair.

*Boom!*

Shockwaves spread across thousands of miles from a single exchange.

"Oh? You do have some ability–"

The man who had just spoken did not even have the time to finish his sentence as the Sword Qi released by Tian Yun rushed towards a certain direction before the sound of glass shattering resounded, void breaking little by little as the figures of several people appeared in the dark clouds.

Some of them wore solemn and surprised expressions, while the man who had just attacked Tian Yun and was speaking arrogantly had a bewildered look on his face.

These were the same people who were previously discussing in the secret realm hidden under the Isle of Heavenly Demons.

Seeing them, Tian Yun had an ice cold expression on his face, sneering with contempt written all over his face as he spoke.

"A mere Lower Realm ant?"
