High Martial Arts: I Travel Through Heaven and Earth Through Dreams

Chapter 251 The Battle for the Holy Son Comes to an End

"Li Daoyi!"

Zhao Wen's voice, as resounding as a great bell, echoed across the mountaintop.

"You are very strong. Your innate Dao body and your 'Taiyan Sword Technique' are ridiculously powerful!"

"But I, Zhao Wen, am by no means weak. My 'Heaven-Splitting Divine Spear Technique' may not necessarily lose to you!"

"Today, I've decided to take the position of Holy Son!"

"boom--!!!"

Before he could finish speaking, Zhao Wen erupted again.

His already nearly depleted divine palace ignited once more in a frenzied fire.

"The Heaven-Splitting Divine Spear Technique - Overlord Shatters the Sun!"

He merged with his gun, transforming into a jet-black streak of light, carrying boundless domineering power and might, and fiercely attacked Li Daoyi!

This was his strongest attack, and also his last trump card!

He wanted to use this shot to decide the final outcome of this great battle!

Faced with this terrifying shot that could drive any sixth-level cultivator to despair.

Li Daoyi's previously solemn face suddenly closed his eyes slowly.

He seemed to give up all resistance, letting the terrifying spear light pierce through his body.

However, just as that domineering black spear light was about to touch Li Daoyi's brow.

Li Daoyi's eyes, which had been tightly closed, suddenly opened.

"Buzz—!!!"

A wondrous Daoist aura erupted from his body.

At this moment, the green-edged longsword in his hand seemed to be given a soul.

"Clang!"

A clear, resonant sword cry echoed throughout the entire palace!

His Heavenly Rank "Taiyan Sword Technique," which had already reached the "minor achievement peak," actually broke through its shackles at this most crucial moment of life and death.

The bottleneck that had plagued him for several years was broken, and the Heaven-Rank "Taiyan Sword Technique" reached the Great Perfection stage!

Li Daoyi's eyes were deep, as if they contained countless stars.

He slowly raised the longsword in his hand, without any earth-shattering power or dazzling sword light.

He simply thrust his sword forward in an unremarkable manner.

"The Taiyan Sword Manual - The Seventh Sword!"

This sword strike may seem slow, but it is actually incredibly fast.

Zhao Wen, who was already carrying the power of "Breaking the Sun," was so close that he had no time to react.

"Sizzle—!"

There was no terrifying roar, only a sound like cotton cloth being torn.

The "Overlord Breaks the Sun" spear light, which should have been domineering and unparalleled, was annihilated and disintegrated by the sword energy the moment it came into contact with the sword strike unleashed by Li Daoyi.

The ancient, green-edged longsword, even after annihilating all the spear's edge, still retained its momentum.

They bypassed Zhao Wen's swift defense from an extremely tricky angle.

"Pfft!"

With a soft sound, the tip of the sword landed steadily on Zhao Wen's chest, which was covered in black armor.

"Snap—!"

The armor, which was said to be unbreakable by anyone below the seventh rank, shattered instantly.

"puff!"

Zhao Wen was struck as if by lightning. He flew backward like a kite with a broken string and crashed heavily into the palace gate a hundred meters away, spitting out a mouthful of blood!

He lost, utterly and completely.

This battle for the Holy Son has thus come to an end.

……

"Cough...cough cough..."

With great difficulty, Zhao Wen used the jet-black spear to support his severely injured body and slowly stood up.

He glanced down at the deep, bone-revealing sword wound on his chest, then looked up at Li Daoyi, who was still dressed in flowing white robes.

In his heart, which had been somewhat unwilling, only bitterness and relief remained.

"Is this the complete 'Taiyan Sword Manual'?"

"I never expected you to have such a hidden skill. Not only are you able to cultivate Heaven-Rank sword techniques, but you have also cultivated them to the level of mastery."

"I, Zhao Wen, am ashamed to admit I couldn't do that; my defeat is not unjust!"

.....

Li Daoyi ignored Zhao Wen, who had already admitted defeat.

His figure blurred, transforming into five white afterimages invisible to the naked eye.

They appeared in the palace square at five different locations: east, south, west, north, and center, and collected all five "Taiyan Jade Pendants" from the stone platform.

Then, he walked on his own toward the door to the secret chamber at the heart of the palace.

As a defeated opponent, Zhao Wen naturally did not go to stop him.

He silently took out several high-grade healing pills from his storage ring and swallowed them.

Then, he sat cross-legged and tried to adjust his poor condition.

He knew that he was completely out of luck with the [Supreme Void Seed], which represented the "Supreme Foundation".

At this point, he could only settle for the next best thing.

I can only wait until I recover somewhat before venturing into this vast secret realm to find a suitable "superior-grade Void Seed" to refine.

……

And high in the sky outside this palace.

Su Muqing was wearing a specially made black robe that blended almost seamlessly with the surrounding clouds and mist, perfectly concealing her figure and aura.

She had already witnessed the earth-shattering battle that had taken place in the plaza below.

The reason she wasn't discovered by those two was entirely due to the "mid-grade seventh rank" concealing black robe she was wearing.

Furthermore, she cleverly hid her "Taiyan Token," which would reveal her location, in a mountain range.

This also prevented Li Daoyi and Zhao Wen, who should have been able to locate her using the token, from determining her position.

However, Su Muqing overlooked the most fatal problem.

To enter that palace, you actually need to use that "Taiyan Token" to swipe your card and verify your identity?!

Her current token had long since been thrown far away, making it impossible for her to enter the palace.

As for forcing your way in?

Hmm... Try it and you'll die.

The fact that the aftershocks of their battle had no effect on the palace was enough to show that the palace contained multiple seventh-order formations.

Furthermore, to ensure the safety of the Holy Son, the Taiyan Holy Land may even have an eighth-order formation here.

In this situation, even an ordinary eighth-level expert would have to put in a lot of effort to break the formation.

She's not even at the seventh level, so how could she possibly force her way in?

Su Muqing watched as Li Daoyi, who had collected all five jade pendants, walked towards the door of the secret chamber. His beautiful face, hidden beneath his black robe, was filled with anxiety and helplessness.

But now she could only watch helplessly as Li Daoyi used the five jade pendants to open the door to the secret chamber.

Then, as he was fully inside, the door slowly closed.

"Sir, where are you?!"

Su Muqing stared at the completely closed door to the secret room, her heart filled with despair.

"If you don't come soon, the other party will go into seclusion to break through to the seventh level."

"The opponent is only at the sixth level, yet he's already so monstrous. If he successfully fuses with that top-grade Void Seed and reaches the seventh level, what will become of him?"

"At that time, let alone me, even if you personally take action, I'm afraid you won't be able to kill Li Daoyi."
