Chapter 2248: 1004, Illusory City, Slaying the Sky-Treading Divine Beasts (Three more chapters today)
At the end of the day, cultivation strength still determines everything in the world of cultivators.
Han Muye was strong enough to intimidate a region, enabling him to cooperate with even those at the Divine Venerable level.
If he were not strong enough to withstand this assault by the Ancient Spirit Divine Honor, he would have been reduced to dust.
Han Muye did not refuse the invitation from the Heavenly Transformation Dragon clan.
Cloud Trace, forthrightly, activated the large array in the plaza, leading Han Muye on a journey to the Void Illusion City.
No matter how much is said, one must personally experience it to understand just how powerful the Sky-Treading Divine Beasts clan truly is.
The light array glimmered, and a faint sword light floated around Han Muye, enveloping his body.
When the light faded, he found himself within a magnificent large city.
The city spanned millions of miles, with a colorful sky overhead and endless auspicious clouds drifting.
“Elder Cloud Trace!”
Several figures flew down to greet the Divine Venerable Cloud Trace with a bow.
These individuals radiated strong blood essence power, with the force of illusions flickering around them, clearly indicating they were but a step away from entering the Reincarnation Realm.
Moreover, they bore the aura of the Heavenly Transformation Dragon clan.
Cloud Trace waved his hand, and a light shadow appeared before him.
In the light shadow, colossal beasts as massive as stars were trapped in the illusory mists of Rolling Clouds.
Their forms resembled stars with long horns and claws, mouths swallowing and spitting, tearing the surrounding mists to shreds.
These were the Sky-Treading Divine Beasts.
With such massive forms, even the Heavenly Transformation Dragons appearing in the mists seemed like mere flies in their presence.
Several Heavenly Transformation Dragons collided, but they could not disturb the formation of the Sky-Treading Divine Beasts at all.
“Has it progressed into the third layer of the void?”
Cloud Trace murmured with a frown.
A single layer of the void spans millions of miles; with three layers, these Sky-Treading Divine Beasts had already traveled three hundred million miles.
Han Muye glanced over and understood why Cloud Trace had sought him.
The origin power of the Heavenly Transformation Dragon clan indeed held miraculous powers, capable of traversing the void and constructing altars, inviting cultivators from various regions to travel millions of miles across heaven and earth.
However, their weakness was also evident, they lacked sufficient combat strength themselves.
In front of the Sky-Treading Divine Beasts, those Heavenly Transformation Dragons had no power to halt their advance.
If not for the entangling obstructions of the Yuntao Illusionary Realm, these Sky-Treading Divine Beasts might have already reached the front of the Illusory City.
“I’ll take a look,”
Han Muye said, and with a shift in his form, he disappeared from the spot.
Having been invited to help halt the progress of the Sky-Treading Divine Beasts clan, he naturally needed to gauge the strength of their combat abilities for himself.
If they truly proved too formidable for him to withstand, he would not hesitate to withdraw.
“Who is he?” Beside Divine Venerable Cloud Trace, a figure landed, looking in the direction Han Muye had left.
The individual’s surging blood essence and soul strength clearly marked him as a Divine Venerable powerhouse too.
“Yu Chen, the one guarding the Heavenly Transformation Altar outside, who slaughtered a Divine Venerable with a single sword strike,” Cloud Trace spoke, hope shining in his eyes, “If he succeeds, the Illusory City will not need to relocate again.”
“Each relocation of the Illusory City consumes resources enough to support ten planes, enough to cultivate three Divine Venerates.”
Cloud Trace, somewhat emotional, waved a hand, causing golden light to illuminate the screen in front of him, stretching it thousands of feet high.
It was with this that he could clearly watch how Han Muye made his move.
At that moment, the screen displayed Han Muye’s form.
Just as the screen was conjured, Han Muye slightly stirred and looked back.
“Amazing, he can even sense the spatial supernatural powers of my Heavenly Transformation Dragon clan,” a look of surprise flickered across the face of the Divine Venerable standing by Cloud Trace.
Cloud Trace, pleased, nodded in satisfaction.
In the screen, Han Muye’s form paused momentarily, then turned into a phantom.
When he reappeared, he was already facing the star-like Heaven-Stepping Colossal Beast.
“My, so bold to confront a Heaven-Stepping Colossal Beast directly?” Cloud Trace whispered in confusion.
“More than audacious, it’s downright—what is he doing!” exclaimed a Divine Venerate next to Cloud Trace, his eyes widening.
Within the light array, Han Muye stepped forward, his body intersected by sweeps of sword light that shot up millions of feet.
This sword light faced directly forward, opposing the towering form of the Heaven-Stepping Colossal Beast.
The beast, previously disturbed by the Heavenly Transformation Dragon clan, slowly turned its head to look at the sword light, then lifted its massive front paw and stomped down fiercely.
The Heaven-Stepping Clan’s innate magical power, the Source Energy, steps across the myriad worlds!
Placed before the feet of a Heaven-Stepping Divine Beast, even those gathered with the Force of the Plane cannot withstand it!
This is a display of Origin Rule Power!
Han Muye looked up at the enormous paw that could shatter the plane’s heaven and earth bearing down on him.
If it were a common Divine Venerate, by now, their body would be imprisoned, unable to escape.
But for Han Muye, such power was not enough.
He condensed his sword technique, gathering a piercing force in his body; it didn’t matter if a force ten times stronger pressed down, he could easily withstand it.
“Boom—”
The massive paw crashed down.
“It’s over…” murmured the Divine Venerate beside Cloud Trace.
“Such a pity for a Sword God…” Cloud Trace whispered, full of regret.
A Sword God should have been able to manifest sufficient killing potential, but unfortunately, he was too arrogant.
The Heaven-Stepping Divine Beast that had stomped grinned and gradually turned around.
But before it could turn its head, the originally subdued sword light suddenly surged upward.
Trampled by a foot of the Heaven-Stepping Divine Beast and still alive?
Standing in his original spot, Han Muye, with the sword light condensed around him, slowly looked up.
“Interesting.”
“Such a technique must not be wasted on mere charges,” he muttered as he waved his hand.
The originally hundred-foot sword light instantly soared to millions of feet, and with one slash, the body of the Stellar Colossal Beast split in two.
The scattered blood essence turned the heaven and earth within hundreds of millions of miles blood red!
One sword!
One strike, one Stellar Colossal Beast fallen!
Cloud Trace and the elderly man beside him were dumbfounded, trembling all over.
The pervading blood essence within the light array sent chills through their bodies!
Such a powerhouse, if he were to strike at them, even they, two Divine Venerates, could not withstand a single strike!
“This, this is the Sword God…”
Cloud Trace whispered, turning his head to look at the elderly man beside him: “Yun Chao, am I dreaming?”
The Divine Venerate named Yun Chao burst out laughing, his eyes sparkling.
“As long as he is willing to work for our Heavenly Transformation Dragon clan, no matter the cost, it will be worth it!”
“My Heavenly Transformation Dragon clan is wealthy across the Ten Thousand Domains, the only thing we lack is this top-tier combat strength!”
The Heavenly Transformation Dragon clan has an array that can send strong ones to any plane.
Having a strong one who can slash a Heaven-Stepping Divine Beast with a wave of his hand would deter all challengers, with no one daring to face them directly.
“I hope, indeed he could be of use to us…” Cloud Trace nodded slightly, looking at the light array where Han Muye was gathering the blood essence and the body of the Heaven-Stepping Divine Beast.
It seems this Sword God is not very wealthy, still needing to collect resources. That will be easy to manage.
The divine beast was slain, the formation of the Heaven-Stepping Clan shattered, instantly entwined by the surrounding Rolling Clouds and pushed to who knows where.
Han Muye gathered the scattered blood essence, his gaze now turning to the distance.
In front of him, the three-foot-long sword glinted sharply.
“Since all you fellow Daoists have arrived, won’t you make a move?”
