Blood qi soared to the sky; the stature of the Ten Imperial Venerables at this moment even showed a tendency to overlap.
In fact, it was precisely by relying on their status, plus the effect of [Divining Luck Drawing Lots], that Lu Yang could hide himself, avoiding the restrictions of the Road to Immortality.
Besides this, Lu Yang had another unexpected gain.
[Heavenly Being's Remnant Consciousness]...
Lu Yang pondered in his heart. This was the intelligence mentioned in [Divining Luck Drawing Lots]. The gold content of the [Book of a Hundred Lifetimes] talent need not be said; it was worthy of his trust.
What is [Heavenly Being's Remnant Consciousness]?
This place is naturally the Sword Pavilion's reserved land, indicating it is related to that Dao Lord of the Sword Pavilion. Does the so-called Heavenly Being refer to that Dao Lord of the Sword Pavilion?
But the entire shadow area is suspected to be a footprint left by a mighty figure. In this way, Heavenly Being could also refer to the identity of that mighty figure... But the name Remnant Consciousness doesn't sound very auspicious. Could it be that he has already died violently like Sisui? Slain by the Sword Pavilion Dao Lord?
Countless guesses sprouted in Lu Yang's heart.
At the same time, he had also followed the Ten Imperial Venerables all the way forward, arriving at the end of the Road to Immortality. All obstacles on the road were easily crushed by them.
Finally presented was a complex of buildings.
Pavilions, terraces, and towers; beautiful jade buildings. Like a vast palace of the past, now only broken walls and ruins remained, lying across the end of the Road to Immortality.
"Is this the Immortal World?"
"Have I become an Immortal?"
Some Imperial Venerables murmured in low voices, wantonly inhaling and exhaling the aura here, feeling that their lifespan was extended by thousands of years in an instant, joy appearing on their faces.
Some Imperial Venerables shook their heads in disappointment after comprehending for a moment:
"Wrong, its not extending life."
"Like the Immortal Light, it only delayed our death. My power didn't increase at all. How can this little change be worthy of the two words 'becoming immortal?'"
Just then, a light sound was heard.
Creak—
Accompanying the sound, the door of a pavilion in the palace complex was suddenly pushed open. Then a white-robed young man paced out from within.
"It's him! The person who will slay us in the future?"
"He actually exists in reality..."
The Ten Imperial Venerables were incredibly shocked here. On the other side, the white-robed young man, or rather Perfected One Subduing-Spirit of the Sword Pavilion, revealed a somewhat impatient expression.
"Outer Heaven Rogue Cultivators..."
Looking at the Ten Imperial Venerables, Perfected One Subduing-Spirit almost thought his recent sword heart warning was fake. A group of outer heaven rogue cultivators could threaten him?
Impossible.
However, before he could speak, the Ten Imperial Venerables took the initiative to attack first. Various imperial dao weapons were deployed. Blessed with blood qi and divine power, bursting with infinite light.
Seeing this scene, the expression on Perfected One Subduing-Spirit's face became even gloomier. A group of outer heaven rogue cultivators, although having some strength, were ultimately rogue cultivators.
Seeing him, not only did they not run away, but they actually dared to fight back? If this spread out, his face as a Sword Pavilion Great Perfected One would be completely lost.
"Clang clang!"
In the next second, sword humming resounded through heaven and earth. A streak of sword light swept through everything. Five divine abilities surrounded it, instantly shattering the joint momentum of the Ten Imperial Venerables.
"Chickens and dogs made of pottery!"
As his voice fell, Perfected One Subduing-Spirit looked stern. Five divine abilities gathered together, converging into a brilliant sword light, making his aura suddenly become profound.
At this moment, his vision changed.
Under the reflection of sword light, in a domain only he could see, he saw the figures of the Ten Imperial Venerables begin to evolve, displaying different divine ability Dao techniques.
These were not illusions, but foreseeable futures.
Each image was a future. Layer upon layer, thousands and tens of thousands, also making Perfected One Subduing-Spirit's originally casual expression gradually become solemn.
This was a bitter battle.
In the images, some Imperial Venerables were slain by his one sword, some Imperial Venerables killed their way to his face, and some Imperial Venerables even caused considerable injuries to him.
I underestimated these rogue cultivators...
Perfected One Subduing-Spirit murmured in his heart, but there was no panic on his face. Instead, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, revealing a sneer. Then he began to activate his innate divine ability.
The next second, a phantom walked out of his body, merging into the future scenes before him, beginning to battle the ten Emperors. Relying on the foresight of the future, he won every time. Simultaneously, with each victory, a future scene was cut off by him out of thin air.
At this moment, time seemed to be stretched to infinity.
The thousands of future scenes were shattered by Perfected One Subduing-Spirit bit by bit. Each shattered future killed a possibility.
In the end, only one future remained.
In the scene, Perfected One Subduing-Spirit, having fully grasped all intelligence and trump cards of the ten Imperial Venerable, slashed out with a sword, and then all ten Emperors were slain by him.
This was the only scene.
And also the only future!
Immediately, the nearly stagnant time began to flow again. Perfected One Subduing-Spirit's ready-to-go sword truly slashed out just now. Instantly, sword light soared to the sky!
This is the concept of [Sword Edge Gold].
Of course, as a Foundation Establishment Perfection, Perfected One Subduing-Spirit wasn't enough to use the concept yet. He could only generate some subtle connection with the dao fruit through his innate divine ability.
For example, one of the profound wonder of Lu Yang's innate divine ability [The Wise Ruler] back when he was at Foundation Establishment had part of the [Deprivation] mighty power. Perfected One Subduing-Spirit was the same.
But even so, it was enough.
At this moment, Perfected One Subduing-Spirit's expression was incredibly calm.
Before this sword was slashed out, he had already killed all possibilities of these ten outer heaven rogue cultivators before him. Their only ending was being slain by him.
This is the Supreme Dao Fruit!
A pity...
Perfected One Subduing-Spirit sighed faintly in his heart. This was his all-out sword, originally intended to be saved for Perfected One Vanquishing-Demon. Unfortunately, he heard the other party had already successfully seeking golden core.
Doesn't matter.
Ye Guangji is just one step ahead of me in cultivation. Wait until I attain [Sword Edge Gold] in the future, then competing with him won't be too late.
With this thought, Perfected One Subduing-Spirit couldn't help smiling.
Although [Sword Dao] is indeed very powerful, after all, it was just attained through void attainment. How strong can it be? No matter how strong, it can't possibly compare with a Supreme Dao Fruit, right?
The advantage is mine!
In past years my wings were not fully grown, so I chose to endure and lie dormant. Now since I am about to seek golden core and ascend to the position, I should emerge into the world, making heaven and earth know my name!
He also had grand ambitions!
...Hmm?
A moment later, Perfected One Subduing-Spirit was stunned.
Wrong, I have been lamenting in my heart for so long, why haven't I heard the miserable screams of that group of rogue cultivators before death? What happened?
In a trance, Perfected One Subduing-Spirit seemed to hear an anxious roar:
Idiot! Idiot!
Wake up...!
All sounds fell silent.
Lu Yang walked calmly in the crowd with hands behind his back, as if strolling. Wherever he passed, everyone's thoughts were frozen in an instant.
Perfected One Subduing-Spirit was no exception.
So what if [Sword Edge Gold]? No matter how stunning, it's just Foundation Establishment Perfection. That bit of divine wonder simply cannot illuminate his figure, let alone influence him.
Soon, Lu Yang walked in front of Perfected One Subduing-Spirit.
The other party's thinking had been completely solidified. And under Lu Yang's gaze, a soul in his sea of consciousness was also hard to hide, slowly emerging.
"How is it possible!"
The voice coming from the soul was incredibly old, but also carried unbelievable shock: "Perfected Lord... How did a Golden Core Perfected Lord sneak into [Heavenly Being's Remnant Consciousness]?"
This is unfair!
"I didn't expect to have an unexpected gain."
Lu Yang looked strange, sizing up the old soul before him, watching the other party trembling under his gaze, then looked around the surroundings again.
"So that's how it is... Is this the joy of the World Honored One?"
Truly refreshing!
