The Great Road of Shading the Sky

Chapter 311 Final Chapter - The Only Path - Holding a Girl in My Arms and Killing Her
Boom! ! !

The eerie, calamistic land exploded, and brilliant flames illuminated the vast world, as if all the heavens were ablaze.

Then, a large number of bizarre races and dark creatures swept out like a tidal wave, going mad and rushing towards various worlds, attempting to sacrifice their races to provide assistance to the Dao Ancestor and increase his chances of victory.

The world was in chaos, and all the evolved beings of all races went mad, fighting back desperately, shedding their blood, and charging at the strange races, fighting to the death!

"Boom!"

The battle between the Dao Ancestors also reached a fever pitch.

Originally, the Dark Dao Ancestor had a trump card up his sleeve: ten people combined into one, gathering all the strange powers of the heavens, which might be comparable to Lu Jin. Unfortunately, before he could reveal it, two of them were killed by Shao Hua.

However, after killing the two Dark Dao Ancestors, Shao Hua immediately sensed something was wrong and withdrew instantly. He then struck out with a backhand palm, killing countless dark creatures and erasing his own traces in the process.

As the Western Emperor watched her enemy being cleaved in two by a slender hand that suddenly appeared, she instantly understood. She looked up to the other side, overwhelmed with grief.

What did she see? That tall, slender figure, bleeding profusely, staggered away.

An unparalleled power manifested itself here, and strange black snow began to fall on the land of Calamity, plunging all worlds into a deeper darkness, as if a vast curtain was slowly descending, enveloping the entire world.

A hazy, supreme will awakened on the plateau, instantly sweeping across all the heavens and myriad realms!
Those strange races and dark creatures seemed to have taken a super tonic; many of them advanced in an instant, without warning, yet it all seemed perfectly natural.

After all, the realms that ordinary beings cultivate are somewhat superficial and unstable, unlike the solid and stable power bestowed by a supreme being.

The remaining Dark Dao Ancestors also seemed to have divine assistance, their auras surging, and they all showed expressions of excitement.

Although the one on the plateau had no intention of intervening in their struggle and fighting, and didn't care who won or lost.

But such supreme beings don't need to do anything; their mere appearance is enough to herald ultimate victory.

Everything will eventually return to darkness!

The eight Dao Ancestors stood tall, converging from all directions. At this moment, they seemed to have coalesced into a single entity, truly comparable to beings at the level of the End of the Road.

"I must live! I must live!" The Western Emperor cried out in grief, then, disregarding everything, he erupted completely, charging towards his enemies, determined to kill all the dark creatures.

Boom! ! ! !

In the shattered land of Calamity, various orders intertwine, and Dao Ancestor-level energy boils.

"Kill! My father, the one who once stood shoulder to shoulder with several Heavenly Emperors, was killed by you. Today, even if I bleed to death, break all my bones, and scatter my soul, I will settle accounts with you completely, until we are dead! Come on!"

Gu Qing roared like a madman, all the repression of so many years and the dormancy of one era after another erupted at this moment.

His hair was disheveled, he was furious and fought a bloody battle, determined to destroy everything in his path!

Jiu Daoyi also went berserk, colliding directly with his great enemy, unleashing boundless energy, blood gushing from his mouth and nose, his body mangled.

However, the enemy was also in bad shape, covered in blood and severely injured.

"I'll fight to the death, it'll be worth it!" He laughed, his mouth full of blood and foam, and waved his hand to send away all the Celestial Kings. Then the Burial Sky Diagram suddenly exploded, swallowing his opponent alive.

Normally, killing a Dao Ancestor requires a long period of refinement to survive, so it's clear that his Burial Heaven Diagram is strange. But to unleash such power, he must have paid a huge price.

"Damn it, you're all fighting desperately, bleeding, and trapped in this perilous land, and you just send me away like this? You're underestimating me!" Duan De was furious. He kicked Hei Huang away and howled in the sky.

"They're here! Back then, quite a few of their souls were scattered. I searched through all the great tombs of the heavens to find them all. Now, let's unite, and I'll form the main soul!"

A fat Taoist priest with disheveled hair ran over and merged with the rotting corpse. The corpse underwent a frenzied transformation, no longer decaying, but turning into a Taoist priest with hair standing on end in anger, who then charged towards the eerie and perilous land.

"Useless trash! You're not even Immortal Emperors! What have you been doing all these years? You haven't even reached the End of the Path realm yet?!" He cursed himself when he got angry.

"You think it's so easy to enter the End-of-the-Road Realm? Forget about that, kill them all!!"

Duan Desheng charged into the battlefield and went berserk in the land of E'tu.

Everyone was fighting desperately. Even Liu Shen and Xi Huang were disheveled from the fighting, a far cry from their usual aloof and gentle demeanor. They were recklessly consuming their life essence to enhance their power.

We will spare no expense, abandon everything, and vow to kill the enemy without turning back!
In the end, Chu Feng even smashed the stone jar to save Gu Qing.

Then, he saw the Imperial Spear in Yao Yao's hand disintegrate, transforming into fourteen-colored light that pierced through the great enemy. He also saw Master Meng disintegrate, his eternal obsession finally unable to be sustained, about to dissipate, dying in battle beyond the world.
In the end, he too fell, everything went black, and he lost consciousness, sinking into eternal darkness.

The battle raged on, crimson blood flowed, and the atmosphere was filled with tragedy, despair, and sorrow.

Those who died in battle felt sorrow and resentment, but with their passing, everything came to an end.

Those who survive suffer even more, as they must continue to endure that unbearable pain!

No one was more heartbroken than Shaohua. She had so few old friends, close acquaintances, and dearest relatives left, and now they were all dying before her eyes.

They died heroically and tragically, their blood flowing, turning into rosy clouds and light, disappearing into the world. How could she not feel grief in her heart?
Even though she once touched upon transcendence, she also felt an endless sense of sorrow.

Because she never chose the ruthless path or the cruel road of evolution, but always chose a flesh-and-blood human being!

pain!
It hurts so much!
However, she couldn't cry; she could only suppress her emotions and remain silent.

Her tears had long since dried up, and though she felt grief in her heart, she could not cry. All that remained was her burning passion, her unyielding fighting spirit, and her unwavering determination. She hoped that one day the strangeness and darkness would be swept away, and that there would be no more bloodshed and chaos in the world!

All the phenomena of the world collapsed.

The vast universe seemed to suddenly darken, leaving countless people feeling choked up, their eyes filled with tears, yet they fell silent.

The whole world lost its luster and became lifeless. The last glimmer of hope in people's hearts was swallowed up by darkness, and the oppression reached its extreme.

On this day, all sages perished, and all ages turned to ruins.

The cold wind swept across the barren land, making a howling sound, as if someone was sobbing and weeping, giving people an extremely desolate feeling.

A tall, slender figure staggered across the ground, his blue robes stained with blood, holding a shattered bronze mask in his hand, muttering:

How I wish the Empress was still a little girl; how I wish Wu Shi was still a tiny child; how I wish Ye Fan was just an ordinary person.

"If everything were still in the past, without blood and tears, without wounds and grief, they could still live, shining and happy."

"If time could stand still, if history could be reversed, if the world were still brilliant, those people would never fade away, they would still be in this world."

However, there is no if.

Even if time could be reversed, what difference would it make?

The Celestial Emperor can reverse the course of time, but that is far from enough. The true enemy sits on the plateau beyond the world, watching him, waiting for him, and coveting him!

Shaohua suddenly raised her head, her beautiful eyes seemingly piercing through eternity, and saw the dark figure on the plateau. She tugged at the corner of her mouth, revealing a desolate smile.

Whether she participated in the previous battle or not, the outcome would not have changed, because that person had already vaguely sensed it.

In fact, that person already knew of her existence.

The reason they haven't made a move yet is simply that they're planning to devour her at the right time and attempt to advance to the Sacred Path; that's all.

Shao Hua understood this, smiled, and raised a slender finger towards the sky.

She continued on her journey, her conviction growing stronger with each step. She persevered and rose again amidst the desolation of the world, and the memories she had lost gradually began to resurface from the ashes.

Her true origins, all her experiences, her successes, her mistakes, the past, whether joyful or sorrowful, all flowed through my heart.

It was as if a flame was burning in her heart. Those people and those events became her 'primordial substance,' the destination and source of her dreams.

Time flies, years pass quickly, and Shaohua once again stepped into the realm of the Immortal Emperor. Everything was in the natural order, without any obstacles. One step forward, and the road ends.

After that, her cultivation continued to improve, as if there were no limits.

Among all the heavens, the highest place is nothing more than the end of the road.

But after the road ends, one can still climb higher, surpassing even the Celestial Emperor, which can be called a ritual offering.

Although this level has not far surpassed the Immortal Emperor realm at an unimaginable height, and may not necessarily form a great realm on its own, and is not yet perfect, it is still stronger than beings at the end of the road level.

At that level, the so-called laws and principles are useless. Burning away all rules and order, sacrificing the supreme Dao, is the true ultimate sublimation, making one invincible above!

Having been reborn, Shaohua had a direction for the path after the sacrificial ceremony. After an unknown amount of time, she emerged from her seclusion and began to travel through the heavens.

"Retracing the old path once again, is this a way of reminiscing about the past, or is it an instinctive realization that things are about to end and perhaps never to return, so subconsciously wanting to walk through those familiar places again?" Shaohua sighed softly, muttering to herself, "Sighing for those years, it's a pity that time cannot be turned back, and I can't take one last look at my departed dear friends and relatives. It's finally come to this."

Faced with the simultaneous emergence of the ten bizarre progenitors, he had no choice but to resort to a desperate measure: usurping the throne, which ironically made him the greatest source of darkness in the world.

Now, it's time to settle things once and for all!

She returned to the mortal realm, stood alone atop Kunlun Mountain, traversed a strange and deformed world, and left her footprints in the desolate fragments of the immortal realm.

On the banks of the River of Souls, a small boat sails upstream, passing the ruins of the ancient Heavenly Court. Beside the Three Lives Stone, a beautiful woman gazes into the distance, and on the Bridge of Helplessness, a figure in green poses for a photo.

Her name is unknown in the cycle of reincarnation, but the echoes of the past resonate in her heart, recalling the glorious years gone by.

"The immortal path has been undone for eternity, a single sword cleaves the heavens and earns fame throughout the three realms!"

"Holding the blood-stained sword bathed in the setting sun, I laugh and sing as I ride the heavens!"

"A swordsman unparalleled throughout the ages, the number one immortal above all heavens!"

"A world filled with sorrow and bloodshed, all for the sake of saving the common people!"

With a soft sigh, the sound of youth echoed through countless ages, resonating throughout the past, present, and future.

Then, she took a deep breath, bursting forth with the most dazzling light. In the midst of this mental tremor, the old path of destiny shone even brighter in her eyes, and she suddenly felt a sense of profound enlightenment.

On top of the old system, a brand new path of evolution is opened up, and one can clearly feel that one's cultivation has been greatly improved by bringing one's own method to its ultimate level.

At that moment, she pierced through some kind of ceiling, and the upper limit had no limit!

"boom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Suddenly, with a deafening roar, the whole world trembled, resonating and echoing, as if the boundless Great Dao were burning, its brilliant light illuminating the past and present.

This entire space-time has exploded, and the order of cause and effect has been destroyed. So-called destiny, creation, eternity, and the Great Dao have all become ordinary underfoot.

With each step she took, her unparalleled grace illuminated the world and shone through the ages.

"This is the true end of the road, the final realm, where we have truly set foot!"

She gained many insights during this time and became a being of the sacrificial level.

Few beings throughout history and into the future have ever reached this level.

Many people, even if they have accumulated enough experience, will never reach this level in their entire lives, even if they have that kind of insight or opportunity.

"My path is different from others. It is not about burning away the Great Dao. I have already experienced that. Now I directly return to my true self and oneness, leaving only the one true Dao!"

This is her own unique path!
The path has reached its zenith, the pinnacle of cultivation, the very end of the path, the final destination. There is no path to follow; this is the only realm of the Dao!
Shao Hua had a sudden realization: her dark side had burned away the great path she had painstakingly cultivated, leaving behind a power of primordial matter filled with strangeness and ominousness.

It's about discarding the essence and keeping the dross.

This time, she took a different path and almost reached perfection, and there would be no heavenly tribulation to come, because there was nothing to test her.

Her tribulation was solely due to the tribulations she accumulated during her own cultivation.

If there truly must be a tribulation, then it is the "human tribulation" that we are about to face.

She suddenly turned around, glanced at the myriad lights of homes, the bustling world, the brilliance of humanity, and then... never looked back.
He turned back, but resolutely headed towards that secluded plateau.

What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again!
All realms were reduced to ruins, the Great Dao collapsed, and the rules of order were broken. Yet, a golden road pierced through all worlds, and a figure in azure stepped upon it, surrounded by light. Each step seemed to mark an era, carrying boundless power.

The place where she stands is the place where laws and order are reborn. Taking it as the origin, she outlines the Dao traces that she understands, weaving together chains of divine order.

Endless rules spread, resonating and echoing with the shattered mountains and rivers.

It wasn't a sudden realization; she had been walking this path all along.

If she hadn't accidentally triggered the original patient, hadn't been noticed by the eerie progenitor so early, and hadn't been forced to choose that path, she would have reached this point sooner or later.

Today, after many twists and turns, I have finally obtained the Dao fruit that was rightfully mine.

“BOOM!!!!”

At the edge of the plateau, a cold snort rang out, and a hand suddenly reached out and slashed at her.

As a result, Shao Hua didn't hold back at all. She slapped him back and directly met his attack head-on, smashing him to pieces!
Then, she emitted boundless fourteen-colored radiance, which fell upon the shattered world, sending all the surviving beings to the Three Realms.

Before the great enemy arrived, she raised her hand and threw out this ark of salvation, disrupting the Sea of ​​Time and the workings of Heaven, and finally erased all traces with her own hands.

The great battles to come could easily shatter spacetime and destroy the Great Dao; the entire world would be nothing more than a bubble that bursts at the slightest touch.

Although she was confident of defeating her opponent and that the deceased could be brought back to life, she still couldn't bear to see those living beings being carelessly affected and destroyed.

Why not do it if it's convenient?
She has always held goodwill toward all living things, and her original intention has remained unchanged despite countless hardships.

This is also what distinguishes her from the darker side sitting high on the plateau.

Having lost her true self, the latter is not her at all, but merely an ultimate, bizarre being shaped by those primordial substances, possessing some of her memories!
"I can't let you live any longer, die!" The black figure on the plateau stood up, as if realizing something was wrong, his killing intent soared, and at this moment all the worlds trembled.

A jet-black banner fluttered without wind, standing tall on the eerie plateau, causing endless roars from beyond the world. Endless darkness swept across all realms, and then all the scattered eerie and dark forces were forcibly gathered by the banner and brought under one person's control.

"Heh, it's been a long time since I've gone all out. Come on, today I'll personally send you on your way!" Shao Hua said, incredibly domineering, his black hair billowing, and with a wave of his hand, he exuded boundless power.

At the same time, in all the worlds, many fragments of weapons appeared around her with unstoppable force. There was a Chaos Bell pieced together entirely from the fragments, a cauldron that had completely collapsed, and a desolate sword broken into many pieces. They all flew over and swirled around her.

Amidst the clanging sounds and the glittering collision of fragments, most of the broken pieces of the bell and tripod transformed into armor, covering her body.

The remaining fragments of the bell and the half of the desolate sword were forged into a spear of the Great Dao.

There was also a broken bronze mask, which merged with the other half of the Desolate Sword, reassembling in her hand into a sword of the Great Dao.

She stood there, clad in armor, sword in hand, spear in hand, pointing towards the distant plateau.

Banners fluttered, guns and swords resonated, and the greatest battle in the history of evolution erupted!
"kill!!"

Two similar yet completely different voices rang out at the same time. They were both frantic, realizing that the other's strength was no weaker than their own, and that only a bloody battle would determine the outcome.

They are in the same field, and at the highest level, each capable of overlooking the entire history of evolution, so strong that they have no rivals. Yet, in a sense, they are the same person.

The battle was extremely fierce. A fight of this level could not last long and there was no room for pretense. Both of them pushed their cultivation to the limit and went straight into the most essential final showdown, deciding the victor and deciding life or death with a single blow!

Dark Youth is incredibly powerful. He collected all the primordial substances and became even stronger than the ten most bizarre progenitors of the past, making him the ultimate progenitor.

But He has one flaw, a unique and fatal one: this unparalleled power was not something He cultivated Himself.

When the opponent is at the same level as Him, this flaw will be magnified infinitely!
With a wave of her hand, Shao Hua shattered Him along with the pitch-black banner. The opponent materialized on the plateau, looking surprised and uncertain.

"Boom!"

Shao Hua's entire body was engulfed in flames as she circulated her unique Dao. When her opponent threw a punch, she severed his fist with her sword, then pierced his head with a spear, sending it flying into the endless expanse of space and time, pinning him to the plateau.

The vast plateau collapsed and fell apart.

Of course, she herself was also in bad shape and had suffered heavy injuries, but she showed no signs of fatigue and continued to kill her opponents one after another.

"How ridiculous, how pathetic, am I about to die?"

Another youthful beauty, her dark side, white hair and red eyes, couldn't help but let out a bitter laugh. What eeriness, what ominousness, in the end it was all for naught.

"I'm so unwilling to accept this! Why?!"

"Because I'm the main character." Shao Hua smiled gently, then bent down and hugged Shi Ling tightly, delivering a "sister-in-arms kill" move.

"Pfft!" A slender, fair hand pierced through the chest, took out a heart that exuded a strong ominous aura, and then suddenly crushed it.

"Because a righteous heart is the true protagonist. You have lost your true self and fallen into darkness, so naturally you are no match for me. Never forget your original intention, and you will achieve your goal!"

Before the words were even finished, Shaohua reached her limit and collapsed, smiling, on this battlefield of the final battle.
I originally wanted to post it earlier, but I wrote a bit too much and it timed out slightly, but it's not a big problem.

This concludes the book. There will be one or even two side stories that will supplement the ending. I'll try to release them within the next two or three days.

As for the author's closing remarks, I'll write one. There are indeed some things I want to say, as well as plans for my next book. Also, feel free to leave a comment about what kind of side stories you'd like to see, and I might write some when I have time!
Finally—wishing all my book lovers good health and longevity, love you all!
