Chapter 911: Terrifying Divine Path Power

In this world, Feng Xue’er possesses the purest divine blood. In just a few more years, she is certain to break through to the Divine Profound Realm, becoming the first person in the history of the Azure Cloud Continent to achieve the Divine Way. Beyond that, she has limitless future and possibilities.

As for you, Xuanyuan Wentian, not only will you never truly step into the Divine Profound Realm, but you will also have no future or possibilities whatsoever! Moreover, because your bloodline and soul are utterly twisted, chaotic, and broken, after your death, you will completely dissipate, unable even to reincarnate!!

Enraging an enemy, causing them to lose their composure, is sometimes more effective than severing an arm. Yun Che had clearly succeeded; his words struck Xuanyuan Wentian’s weak spots. Xuanyuan Wentian trembled all over, and the dark aura around him became chaotic. He was clearly on the verge of exploding with rage.

Just as Yun Che was about to add fuel to the fire, he suddenly and unexpectedly saw Xuanyuan Wentian’s body gradually calm down, its trembling subsiding bit by bit. Even the fierce gleam in his eyes quickly receded.

“Hah, hah hah hah…” Xuanyuan Wentian began to laugh, his laughter no longer savage but incredibly deep. “I am already the venerated ruler of this world, a devil god possessing the power of the Divine Way… How could I be provoked by a mere mortal like you?”

“…” Yun Che opened his mouth. Xuanyuan Wentian had gone from calm to irritable, then suddenly calm again, then agitated by his own words, and now suddenly calm once more…

These constant, drastic mood swings were simply insane!

“Limitless future and possibilities? Heh…” Xuanyuan Wentian chuckled grimly. “It is you who truly have no future or possibilities! For today, I will… annihilate all of you!”

Rumble…

Above the now lightless sky, darkness seemed to transform into a viscous entity, slowly rolling down and enveloping everything. The world, devoid of light, was as if a dark beast was devouring heaven and earth.

The pressure Yun Che felt intensified at this moment. His gaze pierced through the darkness, and he was startled to discover that the swirling darkness was gathering behind Xuanyuan Wentian, gradually forming an increasingly massive, seemingly boundless sea of darkness.

It connected the sky above and the vast ocean below!

Yun Che’s brows furrowed deeply. His profound energy surged, and the Heaven Smiting Sword quickly appeared horizontally before him.

The world where the Supreme Ocean Palace was located also became completely dark. Even with the keen sight of those powerful Emperors, they couldn’t see anything beyond a few feet. Feng Xue’er raised her delicate hand, igniting vast phoenix flames in the sky, which only then restored some light to the world.

“This… what kind of power is this?”

This terrifying cosmic anomaly, this pressure more dreadful than any imagined hell… They couldn’t imagine such power existing in the world, and that it originated from a human.

“Yun Che, before the power of a devil god, let’s see how you struggle!!”

Boom!

The Eternal Night Devil Sword thrust out. A simple movement, and the boundless sea of darkness overwhelmingly enveloped Yun Che, leaving him no escape.

“Hiss…” Yun Che sharply inhaled. He mobilized his profound energy without any reservation. Aside from Jasmine’s unique presence, this was the heaviest pressure and most terrifying power he had ever felt in his life. It was utterly different from all the powers he had encountered on the Azure Cloud Continent… a completely different level and realm.

Xuanyuan Wentian could not truly step into the Divine Way; this was not Yun Che’s wild talk. Because until his death, he could not achieve the lifespan, soul power, or spiritual perception required for the Divine Way.

However, in terms of profound energy alone, he had indeed reached the Divine Profound Realm!!

A Divine Profound Realm never before seen on the Azure Cloud Continent!

At this level of power, Yun Che had absolutely no confidence in victory.

But, if it was Xuanyuan Wentian on the other side…

Yun Che suddenly stepped forward. The Heaven Smiting Sword swung out fiercely, and the Golden Crow Flame shot up hundreds of feet high, transforming into a scarlet sea of fire that fiercely tore through the darkness.

“Boom!”

The sea of darkness collided with the towering inferno in mid-air. In an instant, the dark sky split into two distinct worlds. Above was viscous, profound darkness, while below was dazzling firelight, like a golden sun rising, its downward-shining brilliance reflecting a layer of magnificent shimmering light on the sea surface.

“That… that is!!”

The sky to the north, where red and black converged, depicted a scene of impending apocalypse. Even the profound practitioners suffering from the devil poison desperately raised their heads to look north, fearing they would miss a single moment of the sight. Because this scene, more shocking than any natural disaster, was something they would never encounter a second time in their lives.

Anyone could see that the darkness was Xuanyuan Wentian’s power, and the scarlet flame was Yun Che’s power. Though separated by a hundred miles, it was still enough for them to discern the battle situation.

“Big Brother Yun… You can do it!” Feng Xue’er tightly clutched her dress sash, her heart completely seized with anxiety.

The standoff between the two worlds lasted only a few breaths. The world of darkness suddenly sank, fiercely suppressing the sea of fire. Once the suppression began, it intensified, and the firelight rapidly dimmed. The struggling, churning sea of fire was like a sun being swallowed by dark clouds, and in a blink of an eye, more than half of it was extinguished.

“Big Brother Yun!” Feng Xue’er cried out in alarm, her hands clutching her chest.

Jasmine had once told Yun Che that if the Elementary Profound Realm to the Sovereign Profound Realm were considered one major realm, then the Divine Profound Realm was an entirely different major realm.

In Yun Che’s extreme state, at the Sky Profound Realm he could fight against the Tyrant Profound Realm; at the King Profound Realm he could fight against the Sovereign Profound Realm; and at the Tyrant Profound Realm, he was already capable of defeating peerless experts like Huangji Wuyu.

All along, his strength allowed him to cross one, or even two, major realms of profound energy. However, while the difference between the Sovereign Profound Realm and the Divine Profound Realm might seem like only one major realm, the chasm in between was simply too vast… So vast that throughout the history of the Azure Cloud Continent, there had been countless Tyrant Emperors and numerous Monarchs, yet never a single Profound God.

Now having stepped into the Sovereign Profound Realm, Yun Che, facing the first person in Azure Cloud Continent’s history to break through the Sovereign Profound bottleneck and possess the power of the Divine Way, was personally learning just how vast this realm chasm was.

His Golden Crow Flame, ignited with full power, lasted only five breaths before completely collapsing under Xuanyuan Wentian’s devil god power. A pressure like the collapse of the heavens descended directly. Yun Che’s body violently trembled; the sea of fire, along with his body, rapidly sank. As he neared the sea surface, the Golden Crow Flame on him was completely extinguished, and not a single spark of fire remained between heaven and earth.

The vast darkness, like the maw of a demon, rolled down and completely swallowed Yun Che.

“Hahahaha!” Xuanyuan Wentian let out a heaven-shaking roar of laughter. “Yun Che, do you see?! This is the power of a devil god! What good is your vast fortune, your immense progress?! Before the power of a devil god, you are still nothing more than an ant!”

The dark devil aura rolled even more violently, gradually completely obscuring Yun Che’s presence. At this moment, a sharp screech suddenly rang out, and a vermillion sword glow abruptly shot skyward. The dense darkness was broken through layer by layer, and the sword tip stabbed directly towards Xuanyuan Wentian, stirring up a dark helical storm wherever it passed.

“Hm?” Xuanyuan Wentian’s laughter ceased. The world of darkness had been directly pierced from bottom to top by the Heaven Smiting Devil Slayer Sword, and the sword tip, emitting a vermillion glow, instantly approached his lower abdomen.

Even after piercing through the entire dark world, the sword’s might showed no sign of weakening.

“That accursed sword again!”

Xuanyuan Wentian let out a low roar, and the Eternal Night Devil Sword suddenly swept downwards.

Clang!!!

This was Yun Che’s first direct confrontation with the power of the Divine Way. From the moment his own flames were completely suppressed, he had already sensed the terrifying nature of Divine Way power. For this sword clash, he had prepared himself psychologically, but when the two forces fiercely collided through the sword blades, his entire body still violently trembled, his hands went numb, and his vision momentarily blackened. For an instant, his consciousness was even scattered by the shock.

Yun Che let out a muffled groan, his body spinning backward.

“Heh, keep struggling. The longer you struggle, the more despair you’ll feel!”

All the dark energy regrouped behind Xuanyuan Wentian. He thrust his sword towards Yun Che, and darkness rolled down in pursuit.

Yun Che, still flying backward, forcefully stabilized himself in a somewhat distorted posture. His profound energy burst forth, and flames reignited on his body. Facing Xuanyuan Wentian’s sword, which possessed the might to bury the heavens, he not only did not retreat or dodge, but instead unleashed his own sword strike. The space around his sword quickly shattered like glass. Unparalleled power merged with the heaven-burning divine flames, twisting and scorching through the void layer by layer.

Boom!!!!

The Heaven Smiting Devil Slayer Sword and the Eternal Night Devil Sword simultaneously pierced through the void, crashing heavily into each other. Instantly, the world fell completely silent, then violently erupted. The fragile space let out a long shriek, collapsing for dozens of miles consecutively. All surrounding flames and darkness were forcibly shaken away, and the hundred-mile sea churned with tens of thousands of towering waves.

“Waaaaaaah…”

The Supreme Ocean Palace was filled with countless screams, as the entire palace trembled violently, on the verge of complete collapse at any moment.

“Pfft!”

A long stream of blood sprayed from Yun Che’s mouth. His arms completely lost sensation, and he plummeted like a meteorite. Xuanyuan Wentian’s sword momentum had still not been entirely offset. Several dark sword auras whipped across his body like lashes, tearing his outer robe and leaving several deep gashes on his flesh.

As for Xuanyuan Wentian, he was only pushed back less than a hundred feet.

Falling until he was close to the sea surface, Yun Che finally stopped. His entire body was in excruciating pain; the areas wounded by the sword aura were particularly agonizing. His arms, which had endured tremendous force, were streaked with blood.

On the Azure Cloud Continent, only Yun Che could withstand such an attack from Xuanyuan Wentian. Had it been anyone else, even with strength equal to Yun Che’s, their arms would surely have been shattered.

Slowly, he raised the Heaven Smiting Sword again. The Golden Crow Flame reignited on his body, and his profound energy surged once more. Although Yun Che was covered in a lot of blood and slightly out of breath, the renewed power showed no signs of weakening compared to before.

This Xuanyuan Wentian…

By now, Yun Che was completely certain that although Xuanyuan Wentian could never possess the lifespan and spiritual perception of the Divine Way, his terrifying power had indeed reached the Divine Profound Realm.

The reason for the immense chasm between the Sovereign Profound Realm and the Divine Profound Realm was that below the Divine Profound Realm, no matter how strong one was, they were ultimately still mortals.

But once one stepped into the Divine Profound Realm, they transcended the mortal realm, truly becoming a god among humans!

Yun Che’s previous enemies, no matter how powerful, were ultimately human… Even the Moon Slaughter Devil Sovereign’s power had degenerated to the human level. But today, he was using the power of a mortal to fight against someone who possessed the power of the Divine Way!

And this was a battle he had to win, no matter what.
