Eternal Emperor's Path to Ascension-Chapter 321: Invincible In The Lower Realm?

Next, Tian Yongheng created a brand new Dharma Idol, possessing the same cultivation base as him, and threw the Immortal Slaying Stellar Sword to it alongside the Dharma Fusion Stone he had just obtained.

He was going to upgrade it into a Dharma Treasure.

It was better to have as many Dharma Treasures as possible, just for safety reasons.

And then, without hesitation, Tian Yongheng pulled up the Simulation Battle Trial and plunged into it, selecting the Sword Venerable as his first opponent.

It had been a long time since he faced off against anyone in the Simulation Battle Trial.

Now, with him having successfully reached the Half Immortal Realm, and being capable of slaying the former Archaic Forbidden Demon God without even using the Primal Dao Sword, his confidence had soared.

The Sword Venerable just happened to be the most suitable opponent for him at the moment.

*Swoosh!*

As soon as he entered the simulated world, Tian Yongheng struck out with the Everlasting Sword Qi, tearing apart the void and severing mountains in a domineering way.

He didn’t even bother using the Primal Dao Sword!

The simulated world was made according to Tian Yongheng’s strength, and the shattered void quickly recovered just an instant after the attack.

On the other side, the Sword Venerable, at the Grand Perfection of the Immortal Ascension Realm, also struck out with a terrifying Sword Qi, colliding with the Everlasting Sword Qi and sending ripples across the simulated space.

Millions of miles of mountains and rivers shattered, utterly destroyed by the collision between two supreme forces.

Without waiting for another moment, Tian Yongheng simultaneously used the Golden Lotus Heavenly Rain, a rain of celestial divine lotuses descending from the sky in a dazzling manner, bombarding hundreds of thousands of miles.

This time, Tian Yongheng didn’t die instantly!

A pillar of light rose from the other end of the world, blocking all the golden lotuses as the figure of the Sword Venerable emerged, magnified by tens of times as a brilliant purple Dharma Avatar shimmered behind him, like a heavenly god looking down upon the entire world, holding a divine sword just like the Sword Venerable.

He’s getting serious, this much improvement is already good enough!

In the previous simulations, forger about activating the Dharma Avatar, Tian Yongheng couldn’t even get a second move out of the Sword Venerable before being completely obliterated.

Since he could now make this old Immortal use his Dharma Avatar, it meant that his strength had probably already surpassed the normal levels of the Early Stage Vagrant Immortals, possibly reaching at least peak Early Stage or even Mid Stage of Vagrant Immortal Realm!

What he didn’t know was that the realm difference was far greater after becoming an Immortal than he initially thought, and his true strength had already exceeded the usual limits of the Mid Stage Vagrant Immortal Realm, infinitely close to the Late Stage of Vagrant Immortal Realm just from his single exchange with the Sword Venerable.

*Boom!* *Boom!* *Boom!*

Loud explosions rang out one after another as the Sword Venerable raised his hands, the Dharma Avatar also raising its sword high above.

*Swoosh!*

And then, both slashed down with an unstoppable momentum, tearing through heaven and earth and destroying the already unstable space of the simulated world, however, it recovered faster than they could destroy.

The divine sword surged towards Tian Yongheng as a hundred and eight celestial swords appeared around him, circling him like a sword deity in flesh while the Benevolent Light Seraphic Barrier was activated, enveloping him in multiple layers of protection.

At the same time, Everlasting Sword Qi churned, covering his Sea of Consciousness and filling him with immense vital essence of heaven and earth, making his strength feel inexhaustible.

Everlasting Sword Qi, what was the true essence of Everlasting Sword Qi?

A Sword Qi that never perishes, burning fiercely with the greatest vitality among all of Tian Yongheng’s methods.

With the Everlasting Sword Qi protecting his Sea of Consciousness, Benevolent Light Seraphic Barrier protecting his physical form, and the 108 Celestial Swords constantly twirling around him and reflecting the stray strands of powerful Divine Energy, Tian Yongheng looked like a heavenly god descended down to the Mortal World in all his glory.

Just as the divine sword was about to descend upon him, he stomped his foot in the air and directly disappeared from his original spot.

The divine sword’s Sword Intent immediately shot up, as if intending to find him, but actually had no clue as he left no traces at all.

Shuttling Heaven Great Art!

Using the Shuttling Heaven Great Art, one does not move in the physical representation of heaven and earth at all, but the metaphysical aspect, using the power of the ever present Dao of Space as the means of transportation!

Thus, it literally left no traces in neither the physical or spiritual worlds.

This power was neither teleportation or void traversal, but far higher than them both, similar to spatial replacement.

In the very split second the Sword Venerable was distracted, Tian Yongheng appeared behind him and unleashed a palm strike full of an oppressive force.

Killing intent shot up to the sky, piercing through the firmament.

The Sword Venerable’s Dharma Avatar was instantly locked into place as the massive palm shadow descended, crashing like a meteor directly on top of him.

Ziwei God Imprisonment Palm Heavenly Art!

*Boom!*

With a loud explosion, a terrifying Sword Qi, invisible to the naked eye, suddenly shot out from the pile of broken land, breaking the 108 Celestial Swords protective formation and striking the Benevolent Light Seraphic Barrier.

Tian Yongheng’s pupils subtly constricted; he could feel this was actually a Transformation Realm Divine Power nearing peak sublimation!

The Sword Qi, like piercing through an array of balloons, directly shredded through the Benevolent Light Seraphic Barrier and reached Tian Yongheng’s physical body in an instant.

He had no time to react at all!

It was simply too fast!

All the techniques, arts, Spells, Divine Powers, everything else was useless at this moment not because they weren’t powerful enough, but their speed was simply not up to par!

This was the pure, extreme difference between cultivation levels and the level of life as a whole!

Tian Yongheng exited the simulation with a deep sigh.

He felt that Sword Qi was probably the Sword Venerable’s last trump card, if he could have survived that, he would have won the battle.

Even if he now knew what kind of trump card it was, he won’t be able to contend with it at all, because it required extreme levels of speed just to keep up with it.

"The Sword Venerable is hidden too deeply... he actually possesses a Transformation Realm Divine Power that is not too far from peak. If he could advance his cultivation by one realm, he could probably enter the next realm in that Divine Power."

This was truly terrifying to think about.

Tian Yongheng, as someone possessing exagerrated levels of talent and a potential unmatched by anyone in the current Mortal World, was able to achieve the Transformation Realm, which was comparable to one or two levels higher than the Vagrant Immortal Realm because it seemed reasonable.

However, from what he knew, the Sword Venerable had limited potential and talent, with no hopes of transcending the Vagrant Immortal Realm, yet he was able to actually cultivate a Divine Power to nearly the pinnacle of the Transformation Realm.

It seems, if he was ever given another chance and more opportunities, he could definitely go far beyond his current heights.

Unfortunately, Tian Yongheng did not possess such authority at the moment.

It seems I still can’t compare to the Grand Perfection of Vagrant Immortal Realm...

I should try the Late Stage of Vagrant Immortal Realm then.

With that thought, Tian Yongheng once again entered the simulation, lowering the Sword Venerable’s cultivation base to the Late Stage.

...

A few weeks later, Tian Yongheng slowly opened his eyes, a divine light flashing by in them.

One hundred and eighteen tries...

It took one hundred and eighteen tries to defeat the Late Stage Vagrant Immortal Realm Sword Venerable in a single breath of time... without using the Primal Dao Sword.

Using the Primal Dao Sword, I can insta-kill him.

I’m practically invincible in the Lower Realm right now.

As soon as this thought appeared, Tian Yongheng spared no effort to squish it prematurely.

Are you kidding?

Who would dare to claim invincibility in the Lower Realm by relying on a Dharma Treasure?

Right now, he was at most considered among the top figures in the Lower Realm, comparable to Late Stage Vagrant Immortals.

Only when he could insta-kill Perfected Vagrant Immortals without using a Dharma Treasure could he be considered truly invincible in the Lower Realm!

He finally stood up after collecting his thoughts, stretching a bit purely out of habit.

Disappearing from his original spot, he sent a voice transmission to Qing Yunzi, telling the other party to come and see him.

He had been waiting to meet him for quite a while, it wouldn’t be polite to let him wait any longer.
