Urban Undying Lord
Chapter 601 - 601 620 Breakthrough

601: Chapter 620: Breakthrough 601: Chapter 620: Breakthrough “Utmost folly!”

At this juncture, Ye Xuan not only did not stop, but he intensified the absorption of the power from the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation, prompting the Heavenly Sect Master to rebuke with a cold snort, as he raised his hand in preparation to retract the sword formation.

“Daluo Immortal Body!”

Suddenly, before the Heavenly Sect Master could act, a scene that greatly astonished him unfolded.

Ye Xuan let out a fierce growl, his blurred flesh rapidly regenerating amid the murderous cyan light, leaving the Heavenly Sect Master frozen in place.

“Is this…

Witch Clan Divine Technique?”

“No, there’s no aura of the Witch Clan, but how is his flesh…?”

The Heavenly Sect Master exclaimed in amazement, his raised hand gradually lowering as his eyes, filled with surprise and doubt, meticulously scrutinized Ye Xuan’s flesh, as if he hoped to discern what method of flesh cultivation Ye Xuan was practicing.

“From the dawn of Heaven and Earth to the emergence of Primordial times, the strongest physiques would belong to the Ancient Twelve Ancestor Witches, yet this child has a body indestructible, even the Great Witches of the Witch Clan would not compare.

Although he falls short of the Ancient Twelve Ancestor Witches, it still explains his weak cultivation.

What techniques is he cultivating?

If it isn’t the Witch Clan Divine Skills, how could he forge such a terrifying body?

This is indeed extremely strange.”

The Heavenly Sect Master murmured to himself, even trying to divine Ye Xuan’s past and future with his fingers, but after dozens of breaths had passed, the secrets of Ye Xuan’s previous lives and future remained obscured, let alone the discovery of the cultivation methods Ye Xuan was practicing.

“No, even though the Undying Immortal Scripture isn’t a technique of the Three Realms, it should not be this powerful; something strange is afoot,” the Heavenly Sect Master’s brow furrowed as his voice carried a note of surprise and doubt.

“Wait!”

“Could it be that what he is cultivating is…?”

Suddenly, the Heavenly Sect Master’s expression changed and his pupils went still in an instant as he stared at Ye Xuan with an extremely skeptical look, as if seeing a monster.

“Proving Dao with Power?”

“Is the path he has taken actually the saintly path of Proving Dao with Power?”

The Heavenly Sect Master’s shuddered as he growled, his fists clenching slightly.

That the Heavenly Sect Master, one of The Three Pure Ones, was so moved, testified to the extent to which his heart was stirred.

“It must be, it absolutely must be…”

The Heavenly Sect Master muttered to himself, his gaze towards Ye Xuan growing increasingly complex.

He could have never imagined that Ye Xuan’s chosen path would be the extremely rare and ancient one of becoming a Saint through the strength path of Proving Dao with Power.

As a member of The Three Pure Ones and one of the three beings into which Pangu’s Primordial Spirit had divided, he was born as an incarnation of the Dao.

How could he not be aware or understand the various methods throughout the Three Realms?

In the realm of Daluo Golden Immortal, his flesh could already surpass that of an Ancient Great Witch, and his cultivation and combat power could sweep across the Daluo Realm.

Apart from the path of Proving Dao with Power, he could not envision anything else.

“Foolishness, utmost folly!”

Suddenly, the Heavenly Sect Master’s expression turned grim, and the look he gave Ye Xuan was extremely complex, filled with admiration, appreciation, and also a touch of disappointment, and even a hint of killing intent that faintly emerged.

Proving Dao with power was merely a legend; even the Pangu God, who opened the sky and split the earth, had not succeeded, and although Daode Tianzun, after harmonizing his body with the Dao, became a Saint by Cutting Three Corpses, Ye Xuan daring to walk this path was simply courting death in the eyes of the Heavenly Sect Master.

The Heavenly Sect Master was a very proud individual, a person who could govern heaven and earth.

Even his two senior brothers were not to his liking, and the only person in the Three Realms he truly admired was Daode Tianzun.

Yet, even Daode Tianzun had not chosen the path of becoming a Saint through power.

Today, however, he had personally witnessed someone, someone who embarked on the path of Proving Dao with Power.

The Heavenly Sect Master did not know whether to call Ye Xuan arrogant or foolish because, before becoming a Saint himself, he had also considered walking this path, but when he stepped into the realm of the Quasi-Saint, he realized that the path of Proving Dao with Power was a dead end.

To break free from the shackles of Heaven and Earth, to transcend Heaven and Earth and reign above the Heavenly Dao, to shatter all laws with a single force and create the highest Saintly path, to become the Saint of all Saints, where Heaven and Earth can perish but I remain undying, everything else can die but I will not—this is the legend of Proving Dao with Power, but it is also a huge joke.

To put it bluntly, the innate power of all living beings originates from Heaven and Earth.

Wishing to transcend the Heavenly Dao is nothing more than a delusion, it is a dead-end road.

To put it bluntly, if your own strength is given by the Heavenly Dao, how can you possibly ascend above it?

Ever since the sky was opened and the earth was split, there have always been incredibly talented individuals who tried to walk the path of Proving Dao with Power, but without exception, everyone who set foot on this path has ended up in ashes and oblivion, and the method of becoming a Saint through Power has remained nothing but a legend.

Today, as Ye Xuan demonstrated the terrifying power of his physical body, the Heavenly Sect Master naturally realized that he was practicing the method of becoming a Saint through Power, which while making him admire Ye Xuan, also sparked a trace of killing intent in his heart.

It was not that the Heavenly Sect Master feared Ye Xuan, for he knew that Ye Xuan would not succeed; the Sect Master’s urge to kill stemmed from the fact that he had originally firmly believed Ye Xuan to be the seventh Heavenly Determined Saint and had valued him highly, even helping him when he was vulnerable, so that when Ye Xuan would eventually become a Saint through Merit, they would share a significant karmic connection.

But now the Heavenly Sect Master was taken aback, for he guessed wrong.

Ye Xuan had already taken the path of Proving Dao with Power, which completely opposed the path of Merit to Saint that he had envisioned.

If Ye Xuan was not the seventh Heavenly Determined Saint, but someone else, then wouldn’t all his efforts be in vain, like fetching water with a bamboo basket?

The supposed rise of the Jie Sect, then, is merely a joke, and Ye Xuan is not the protagonist of this tribulation?

Although the Heavenly Sect Master harbored killing intent, this intent was very faint and dissipated in the blink of an eye, as he thought of something related to his eldest senior brother, Daode Tianzun.

In his early years, when Daode Tianzun had yet to become a Saint, he practiced the method of Saint by Cutting Three Corpses, but when he cut down the Two Corpses of good and evil and faced the final hurdle of severing the Self, he ultimately drew back and chose to become a Saint through Merit.

According to the Heavenly Sect Master’s conjecture, after Ye Xuan enters the realm of the Quasi-Saint and discovers that the path of Proving Dao with Power is utterly impassable, he would certainly return to becoming a Saint through Merit and surely be the seventh Heavenly Determined Saint.

Boom!

The roars echoed as the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation hummed and revolved, sharp green light cascading downward.

Ye Xuan was frantically absorbing the power of the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation, disregarding his own injuries as he crazily surged towards the threshold of the Daluo Seventh Layer Heaven, aiming to step directly into the divide of the Daluo Third Water Dividing Ridge.

With his physical body cracking inch by inch, his whole body soaked with blood, his Daluo Immortal Body glowing brightly, and his Undying Primordial Spirit humming, Ye Xuan was in the midst of frenzied cultivation, steadily advancing as he assailed the realm of the Daluo Seventh Layer Heaven.

In the Daluo Nine Layer Heavens, each step was a different Layer Heaven, and the three divides were like heavenly chasms.

Under the assistance of the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation, Ye Xuan’s aura grew stronger and stronger.

He was only one step away from breaking into the divide of the Daluo Third Water Dividing Ridge.
