Journey to the West: Signing in for 500 Years-Chapter 615 - 609: Unprecedented [Seeking Subscriptions and Monthly Tickets]_1

Lord Yuan Shi truly couldn't imagine it. Sha Chen had actually erased the Saint's seal on his Heavenly Measure, and with that erased seal, he had made the small spatial world even more perfect.

Originally just a half-finished product, the small spatial world became flawless due to his Heavenly Dao imprint, transforming into a realm in its own right, capable of nurturing life.

What Lord Yuan Shi found hardest to accept was that Sha Chen, by leveraging the perfect formation of this small spatial world, had begun to comprehend the mysteries of space.

Sha Chen, in the midst of battle, was gradually groping toward the ultimate mystery of space, that thread of Great Perfection.

According to Lord Yuan Shi's calculations, without 100,000 years, it would likely be impossible to grasp it. But the affairs of the world are unpredictable, and fortune, by its very nature, is meant to bridge the gaps of time.

Now that Sha Chen's opportunity had arrived, naturally, he gained the chance to comprehend it.

He had never imagined there would be a Heavenly Dao imprint on the Heavenly Measure—a testament to how much Lord Yuan Shi valued this Magical Tool. Yet, by a fortunate coincidence, Sha Chen had managed to erase it using his Spatial Divine Skill and the Samadhi True Fire.

Normally, such an imprint would be difficult to erase, but Sha Chen believed the system must deserve some credit for allowing him to precisely and perfectly seize that one-in-ten-thousand chance to remove the Heavenly Dao imprint.

The Space Dragon Pearl then exploded outright, its spatial power instantly filling the gaps within the small world. This stabilized the very foundation of the small spatial world. Combined with the Heavenly Dao imprint, it allowed natural laws to evolve, making the entire small world impeccable.

Throughout this process, Sha Chen gradually comprehended the mysteries of space. After all, the ultimate mystery of space is the creation of a world—a perfect one where all sorts of living beings can survive and multiply. Sha Chen was now observing how this ultimate mystery was composed; if he could master this process, his power of space would reach Great Perfection.

As the battle raged, Sha Chen's power of space grew stronger, and he wielded various Spatial Divine Skills with effortless ease. Lord Yuan Shi found it increasingly difficult to contend with him, as if he were facing Di Jiang, the former chief of the Twelve Ancestral Witches.

But even Di Jiang, the former chief of the Ancestral Witches, hadn't been as tough, for he lacked such a formidable body and mastery of other elemental Divine Powers. Sha Chen, however, not only mastered various formidable Divine Powers but also possessed a perfect, impenetrable physique, granting him unprecedentedly powerful defense and strength.

It was no exaggeration to say that Sha Chen could tear apart space with his physical strength alone. With his defensive capabilities, even if caught in a collapsing spatial trap, he would remain unscathed.

Lord Yuan Shi even had the strange feeling that Sha Chen's physical power seemed to surpass his own mastery of space. Throughout history, no one had ever achieved true mastery through brute strength alone. While many had been capable of awe-inspiring feats of power, they ultimately had their limits. In the face of various world-shattering Divine Powers, mere strength seemed almost laughable.

Yet now, from their brief exchange, Lord Yuan Shi could feel the threat posed by Sha Chen's raw power. The force emanating from Sha Chen's physique was terrifying. If he also cultivated it to the Great Perfection Realm, it might even surpass his mastery of the Way of Space.

He really couldn't understand how a person who had hidden in the depths of a cave for hundreds of years, never venturing out, could have cultivated to such a realm!?

Lord Yuan Shi felt anger simmering within him, yet he was helpless. Sha Chen's strength was not like that of an ordinary Quasi-Sage Peak, who could be easily dealt with.

He had mastered the power of space, brute force, and numerous other Divine Powers. Coupled with his possession of countless powerful divine weapons—the Chaos Bell and the Dragon God Sword alone were Magical Tools enough to disdain the world—Sha Chen's current true combat power was such that calling him the foremost individual beneath the Saints, throughout all of history, would be no overstatement.

Even during the great war between witches and monsters, when the most monstrous talents, Di Jiang and Donghuang Taiyi, were at their peak, they would certainly not have been a match for the current Sha Chen. Even earlier, during Dragon Han's First Calamity, none of the three hegemons—Yuanfeng, Zulong, and Shi Qilin—could have stood against Sha Chen.

These prodigious beings were absolutely unique in their era, completely overshadowing anyone of the same realm. It's no exaggeration to say that for other prodigious experts, being born in the same age as them was a true tragedy.

Even the Daoist Master during Dragon Han's First Calamity, whose strength and cultivation might have been on par with the three hegemons like Zulong, could only avoid their spearhead. He and Luo Hou reaped the benefits as bystanders until the three hegemons fell one after another, which then led to the conflict between the Daoist Master and the Demon Lord. Even such an exceptionally talented figure had to give way before the three hegemons.

However, even at their peak, none of the three hegemons, in a one-on-one fight, would have been a match for Sha Chen. From this, it was evident just how terrifyingly powerful Sha Chen was. It could be said that while there might be successors, he was certainly unprecedented.

Because Lord Yuan Shi could feel that Sha Chen's current combat power wasn't the slightest bit inferior to his own when he had first entered the Saint Realm. Strictly speaking, the Lord Yuan Shi of that time was not yet familiar with the power of the Heavenly Dao and could not have utilized his Saintly strength as flawlessly as Sha Chen could now. If the Lord Yuan Shi of that time were to fight the current Sha Chen, he might not even have been a match.

Though he hated to admit it, Lord Yuan Shi knew in his heart that the combat power Sha Chen could now unleash was indistinguishable from that of an ordinary Saint.

And Sha Chen still seemed to be gradually comprehending the mysteries of space. If he were to completely master these mysteries and achieve Complete Realization of Space, the combat power he could then unleash would be beyond what any ordinary Saint could contend with.

Lord Yuan Shi's eyes flickered. He felt he absolutely could not let Sha Chen comprehend the mysteries of space. Otherwise, a monster would arise in the Three Realms—a terrifying monster capable of countering the Heavenly Dao without possessing it.

This was absolutely not permissible! Saints were lofty and supreme, their heavenly might unfathomable, and the Heavenly Dao must not be threatened. Sha Chen, without the Heavenly Dao, was not a Saint, yet he could reach the heights of one. If he grasped the mysteries of space, he might ascend even further. This absolutely could not be allowed!

The Heavenly Dao within Lord Yuan Shi seemed to sense the threat too, suddenly bursting forth with even greater power, elevating Lord Yuan Shi's own strength to another level. Lord Yuan Shi was stunned for a moment, then burst into hearty laughter. "Sha Chen, I should even thank you! Because your existence threatened the Heavenly Dao, it has unleashed even greater strength to erase you!"

"Now, the power of the Heavenly Dao I wield has long surpassed that of an ordinary Saint by severalfold. Even if you comprehend the mysteries of space, you are definitely not my match! Let alone now, when even the three of you combined are still being suppressed by me!"
