Just as the people of Boundless Heaven had thought.
The day after Li Dao and the others returned to the academy, the Wang family arrived, and there was a very important person among them, who was said to be a descendant of the Nine Dragons.
Such an important figure, arriving in such a grand manner, must be there to demand an explanation and head straight for the Heavenly God Academy.
A chariot, pulled by nine colossal beasts, rolled through the void, accompanied by what sounded like thunder.
Inside the chariot sat two beings radiating golden light, too dazzling to look at directly. Wherever they went, all spirits submitted.
Following the chariot were hundreds of war chariots, their hooves thundering and the roars of giant beasts deafening.
"It's actually Wang Zhen leading the team. It seems the Wang family is truly enraged this time."
"That's Wang Er's eldest son, the most outstanding member of the third generation of the Wang family, holding a pivotal position within the family. This time, the Heavenly God Academy is in trouble!"
"Meng Tianzheng has gone to the borderlands, and no one can protect the Heavenly God Academy."
This display of force alarmed many people. Normally, such a setup would only be used on an expedition, which was enough to show the anger of the royal family.
Before Wang Zhen even arrived at the academy, Li Dao and the others had already received the news.
"These people are utterly shameless! When all the races went to the Great Crimson Heaven, they were nowhere to be seen, but now they have dispatched hundreds of chariots and thousands of elite troops. Such actions are unworthy of being called sons of the Nine Heavens!" Cao Yusheng was extremely angry. The more he thought of the predecessors who sacrificed themselves in the Great Crimson Heaven, the stronger his anger became.
At the Taoist temple where Li Dao was staying, Mu Wanqing and the others had already returned, their faces showing worry, perhaps because they had received instructions from their elders.
“My grandfather told me to go back to cultivate in seclusion, but my master has been kind to me, so I will not leave.” Mu Wanqing shook her head and looked towards Daoyin Peak.
“My grandfather said that dying in the wilderness is an honor…” Tie Kui scratched the back of his head, somewhat speechless.
The others encountered the same situation, but none of them chose to leave. Having stayed by Li Dao's side for a long time, they also learned a lot of inside information.
Even though the heavens above seem peaceful, they see them as a powder keg ready to explode at any moment, just waiting for a spark to ignite it.
Ding……
At the same time, from the summit of Daoyi Peak, a melodious zither tune drifted over, and all was silent wherever the soft sound passed.
Chapter 472 Surrender or Death?
Dao Yifeng, its peak soaring into the clouds.
Li Dao sat cross-legged atop the peak, overlooking the rolling clouds all around. His white robes fluttered, and his black hair cascaded down like a waterfall, making him look like an immortal who had stepped out of ancient history.
A broken zither, carved with the image of a phoenix perched on a parasol tree, lay across his knees, his well-defined fingers plucking the strings.
The clear, melodious sound of the zither, like the gentle tinkling of a spring, slowly drifted out, and the surrounding white clouds began to move, their formless shapes gradually changing.
Sometimes it transforms into a celestial dragon, attempting to leap from the sea of clouds and strike the heavens; sometimes it transforms into a towering mountain to suppress all the heavens; and sometimes it appears as a vast celestial palace, resembling the abode of immortals hidden within the sea of clouds…
All sorts of changes and myriad wonders have evolved, just like the small divine world within Li Dao's body. Under the cleansing influence of the zither music, chaos gradually separates, clear energy rises, and turbid energy sinks, and the chaotic land is being continuously developed.
The Myriad Paths Tree, which was undergoing a transformation, was also swaying constantly, and the golden chains of divine order on it rattled, seemingly in harmony with the music.
hum!
With a soft sound, the sound of porcelain being crushed in a domineering way came from Li Dao's body, and his cultivation level of "Severing Self" directly reached the peak.
He takes the body as his path, and the realm of self-severance is not difficult for him. If it weren't for the need to accumulate more experience, he could have reached the peak as soon as he entered the realm of self-severance.
This time, by using the Phoenix Tree Immortal Zither to comprehend the Dao, he opened up the chaos within his body as the soil for the Dao, and the sound of the zither cleansed his physical body. It was a natural progression for him to break through to the peak of the Self-Slaying Realm.
Clang!
As the music stopped, all the strange phenomena around them collapsed with a roar, and the celestial palace in the clouds vanished without a trace, like water dissolving into the sea.
Li Dao slowly opened his eyes, stood up, and his Eyes of Truth pierced through the vast void, seeing Wang Zhen rushing over from outside the Heavenly God Academy.
"The small fish has taken the bait, how far can the big fish be?" His figure, as ethereal as smoke and mist, suddenly dissipated.
"Are Li Dao and Huang here?" Outside the Heavenly God Academy, a magnificent Daoist voice resounded through the sky, like the Heavenly Emperor roaring and shattering the heavens.
Whether it was the people from the Heavenly God Academy or the other forces who rushed over upon hearing the news, they all felt the terror of Wang Zhen.
"As expected of a great cultivator in the Escape One Realm, a single word can determine the fate of all things, and a single sentence can decide the life and death of all beings."
Shi Hao's figure slowly walked out of the void, coldly looking at Wang Zhen and the others, and said in a mocking tone: "You didn't go to the borderlands when they were in danger, but you hid so many elites. The Wang family is really something. Do you want us to die in battle so that you can take over the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths?"
Upon hearing this, the forces present all looked at Wang Zhen and his group with scrutinizing eyes, their hearts rippling with unease.
"Is this the kind of student taught by the Heavenly God Academy? They don't even come over to pay their respects to their seniors, but instead spread rumors and slander. What kind of behavior is this!" Wang Zhen said coldly.
"Old codger, he really thinks he's something special. If I had been born three thousand years earlier, he probably wouldn't have been able to stop me with a single finger," Cao Yusheng cursed.
Little Tianjiao Ant also nodded with its arms crossed. If you asked it, it would just charge straight in; there was no need to talk to these disgusting creatures here.
"You came with murderous intent, besieging the Heavenly God Academy. Who do you think you are, senior? I haven't even called you a traitor to the foreign realm, which is already showing you mercy," Shi Hao said.
"Huang! You should know why we've come!" someone shouted beside Wang Zhen's chariot.
"We've come here to apologize. If that's truly the case, then head to the borderlands immediately. True men of the Nine Heavens should fight to the death to protect the Nine Heavens. I think you, as a family of immortals, should have a high level of awareness," Shi Hao sneered.
"You sharp-tongued bastard, who do you think you are, provoking my Wang family and daring to spout nonsense here? Even if a true immortal descended today, he couldn't save you!" A young man from the Wang family couldn't help but shout angrily.
"I can suppress you with a wave of my hand, why would I need a true immortal to take action!" the little ant said arrogantly.
"Heh, so the Heavenly Pride Ant clan became one of the Ten Fierce Fiends just by talking?" Wang Zhen sneered at the Little Heavenly Horned Ant.
"How dare you! My Skyhorned Ant clan fought bloody battles for the Nine Heavens, and we are not so easily judged!" The little Skyhorned Ant was furious. Its entire clan had perished on the battlefield, and it was the only one who survived. This was the pain of its life.
"Where is Li Dao? Where is the culprit? Is he afraid?" Wang Zhen didn't mention the Heavenly Horned Ants anymore; he truly couldn't refute those facts.
"So eager to die?" A crack appeared in the void, stretching across the sky, and Li Dao slowly walked out from it. With each step he took, the pressure emanating from him grew stronger.
A shadow fell over the hearts of the thousands of royal elites, and they involuntarily took a step back.
"You're the one who's eager to die!" Wang Zhen stood atop the chariot, waving his hand to neutralize Li Dao's oppressive aura.
"Today, I will use your blood and Huang's blood to pay tribute to the fallen heroes of my clan." Wang Zhen sensed the hidden aura emanating from Li Dao. It was difficult to discern his true combat strength from this pressure alone, but in his heart, he had already sentenced Li Dao to death.
At such a young age, with such talent, if he continues to grow, he will inevitably pose a threat to them. This threat must be nipped in the bud.
"Ha, then come and try if you dare."
"kill!"
Li Dao snorted coldly, and the Chaos Wheel slowly emerged, its chaotic light adding to his mystique. The killing intent emanating from his body stained half the sky.
"Insolence! Take them down!" Wang Zhen shouted coldly.
Behind him, thousands of royal elites stepped forward in unison, shouting the word "kill" and unleashing unparalleled killing intent. Their weapons gleamed with a chilling light.
"Please, senior, take action and suppress these people!" Shi Hao frowned and said coldly.
"Kill!" As soon as the words were spoken, five deep shouts of killing came, and five terrifying figures appeared, wearing black armor. They were none other than the five puppet warriors.
The two sides clashed fiercely.
"A mere five people dare to challenge our thousand-strong force? They're courting death!" someone from the Wang family sneered.
They rushed over as soon as they learned of the incident at the Wang family's stronghold, unaware of the situation of these five people.
The thousands of soldiers formed ranks, a fierce wind swept across the sky, and a murderous aura soared into the heavens, spreading a terrifying battle intent throughout the entire field.
This is an unparalleled battle formation, born solely for slaughter.
However, Li Dao and Shi Hao felt an even greater chill in their eyes when they saw that the Wang family had actually brought out such a battle formation.
All the onlookers felt a chill run down their spines as they witnessed the ferocity of the battle formation. Only an extraordinary figure could survive such a battle.
But the five men did not waver in the slightest in this battle formation, holding their heavenly halberds and battle spears, facing the might of thousands of people directly.
"Fighting against heaven and earth, risking life and death without end."
"If you place a piece on the center of the board, you are doomed."
Li Dao lightly raised his right hand, flicked a pitch-black chess piece with his fingers, and slowly dropped it into the void. In an instant, yin and yang intersected, and a chessboard reappeared.
The disciples of the Heavenly God Academy behind him were horrified. Even though they had witnessed it once before, they were still shocked to see Li Dao use this supernatural power again.
Before the Wang family's thousands of elite troops could even figure out what was going on, they were pulled onto this chessboard.
"kill!"
The five puppet warriors roared, their shouts shattering mountains and rivers. A vast, boundless killing intent surged forth, their dense, blood-red killing intent soaring straight to the heavens. Like tigers among sheep, they pounced directly onto the chessboard.
Everyone was shocked. This blood-red killing intent was something only someone who had crawled out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood could possess; it was truly terrifying.
Furthermore, no one had ever heard of Li Dao's supernatural ability to conjure a chessboard with a wave of his hand. Looking at Li Dao standing in mid-air, they couldn't help but feel a sense of awe.
The moment the five entered the chessboard, it was as if a thousand troops were charging at them. In just one round, they swept away a large number of Wang family cultivators, their weapons were broken, and their bodies were cut in two. They were no match for the five's onslaught.
"The Heavenly Horned Ant lineage cannot be insulted!" The leading black-armored warrior roared, his spear transforming into black lightning, annihilating men and horses wherever it went.
On the chessboard, the four sides of the space are locked, leaving only a bloody battle, and this environment is the best stage for those five warriors.
In just a few breaths, before everyone could recover, the Wang family's thousands of elite troops were slaughtered like dry leaves, and even their strongest commander, a master of the Escape One realm, was pinned to death in the void.
Looking at the fallen elite troops, Shi Hao felt an indescribable sorrow. These people should have been contributing their remaining strength on the battlefield, but it was a real pity that they had perished here.
Wang Zhen's blank mind immediately cleared up. Looking at the tragic scene and the five soldiers who were still reaping lives like demons, his eyes turned red instantly.
"You're courting death!" Wang Zhen attacked, his chariot radiating brilliant divine light and unleashing a beam of light filled with destructive power, hurtling towards Li Dao.
This is to break Li Dao's supernatural powers.
"Hey!"
Li Dao wielded his spear and swung it fiercely, cleaving the sky and cutting through pillars of light. The immense power of an entire world was bestowed upon him. If he wished, he could shatter the earth with his body and crush stars with his fist.
The spear was swung out, and only a streak of crimson and white light flickered in the sky and earth. Its remaining power was undiminished, and it instead attacked Wang Zhen.
Roar!
The nine beasts roared, the chariot retreated thousands of feet, and Wang Zhen, who looked like an immortal, was also cleaved out.
His heart was filled with turmoil. The strength of those five warriors far exceeded his expectations, and Li Dao's strength also made him feel a little uneasy.
"Is this the Realm of Severing Myself or the Realm of Escaping Oneness? I'm a little confused!"
The moment he made his move, Li Dao's cultivation level was revealed, leaving the onlookers somewhat dumbfounded.
With a single spear, he repelled Wang Zhen; with a single finger, he trapped thousands of elite Wang family soldiers. Such combat power was even more terrifying than some Transcendent Ones.
"Are these the real monsters? They can defeat those above them, and their fighting power is not limited by their cultivation level."
Wang Zhen's face was solemn as he watched the two sides locked in battle on the chessboard. His heart was bleeding, and he roared, "Activate! Array Platform!"
