Divine Brilliance

Chapter 1025: Forcefully Suppressing

There was a loud roar spreading throughout the entire Vast Habitat. That was the rage and grievances of Taishi, unlimited amounts of hate, his strong Spiritual Sense which instantiated into the world.

It made one’s head hurt, those whose cultivation was slightly weaker felt like their souls were about to explode.

Luckily, a layer of golden light scattered out in time above that 33-layer Purple Gold Pagoda. Although it was unable to suppress that weird sound, it caused the 170,000 Common People’s Path Cultivators to calm down and they weren’t affected by that roar.

“Zong Shou, Tanqiu, what an Unlimited Beginning and End! You actually dare to plot against me? I will kill you, sooner or later, I will make you wish that you weren’t born! I will make you feel so much pain that you won’t want to leave...”

Taishi was obviously extremely furious, his tone was filled with exasperation, he shouted with all his might, totally unlike someone who was at the End Realm.

Zong Shou licked his lips. He felt a slight cold in his heart, Taishi probably hated him to the maximum.

However, the battle of the Dao Path was the toughest and most intense and it was one where one couldn’t give in to another. His Law’s foundations were Dao, but after all, this Dao existed between Beginning and End.

The former as the primary and the latter two as the support. Only then would his World Shocking Spirit Art have no weaknesses at all.

This was why he totally could not allow Taishi to step into half a step True Realm to try to start to merge his Dao to enter the True Realm, to occupy the Dao Path.

Naturally, he wasn’t willing to give up such a good chance to create such a huge setback for Taishi.

He had always been decisive and when he saw a chance, even if he exposed his Unlimited Beginning and End Law, his identity as the Unlimited Beginning and End Buddha, he was going to delay Taishi’s True Realm journey by 10,000 years!

He would rather be riddled with a whole bunch of problems than see this chance slip by right by his side.

After that sword, all the flesh and blood power he swallowed over from Kunming had exploded out and were all used up.

That blurred sword continued forwards but was forcefully stopped by a strong power. It stopped in mid-air and it showed signs of scattering.

Zong Shou knew that this was already the limit. He decisively gave up on the remnant Sword Energy, retracting a portion of the strength and using the less than ten percent Will of the Heavens remaining to grab the Black Qilin.

That Black Qilin continued to roar and struggle, its eyes filled with unwillingness.

Zong Shou scoffed coldly and with a thought, the Illusionary Heart Mirror appeared behind his head.

“Illusionary Heart Soul Settling!”

Unlimited Beginning and End Technique once again swallowed the power of the formation and gathered it in the mirror.

A huge amount of Spiritual Energy instantly broke through the layers of restrictions in the mirror.

A green light shone down onto the Black Qilin’s body, and instantly, this peak Saint Realm God Beast was unable to move anymore.

The Vast Habitat shook once more. This time it was Taishi who struck the space pillars.

Under frustration and hate, his strength increased by a fold.

Zong Shou didn’t worry about it. With the Ten Thousand Celestial Formation and Xiuguan there, the few End Realms in the World River wouldn’t be able to crush the Vast Habitat.

He only needed to be more careful and not let this Black Qilin which was pretty much in his hands get saved by that Taishi.

Since he had completed his private matters, he was already satisfied. The public matters were next.

At this moment, his gaze shifted, finally toward Dong Zhongsu and Xingya.

The two of them were still unable to break free from within the Vast Habitat and at this moment their faces were all ashen white.

Dong Zhongsu stood in the air, his face turned green, “Unruly Ruler! Do you want to be enemies with the Confucian Faction! Common People’s Path is unruly and fake, your talks of equality go against the rights and beliefs of the Saints. Your Faction’s teachings are the same as the demons and devils. Today, you help them to commit such a travesty, sooner or later, you will suffer for it! It wasn’t easy for you to build up Great Gan, don’t end up falling in just 20 years...”

Zong Shou’s eyes flashed and then he shook his head, “I have never felt that I was more noble and important than others. A Country needs laws and rights, but it shouldn’t be so strict and only to restrict those people. The people are like water; they can carry the ship and they can also sink it. If one enacts a stupid plan and sees the people as grass and tools, would it really be appropriate? If one is suppressed and bullied, and can’t live anymore, they would definitely revolt and want to a change!”

He continued, “My heart can accept the Common People’s Path, I can accept the 100 schools of thoughts, and naturally I can accept the Confucian Faction too. However, with what you are saying and doing, sooner or later, I will burn the books and wipe out Confucianism. There are many examples of how teachings hurt the people, it can be seen all around. As for those schools of thought that teach things that hurt the country, naturally Great Gan will have to ban it...”

“Burn the books and wipe out Confucianism? Good, good, good!”

Before Zong Shou finished, Dong Zhongsu’s eyes were about to pop out of their sockets. He said “good” several times and his face flushed red.

“Who knew that at the end of the Cloud Desolate Era, there would be a violent Ruler like the Qin Emperor. So many dynasties have passed since then and you are the dumbest Ruler of them all! You want to burn the books and wipe us out? Then, we will wait for you!”

Outside of the Vast Habitat, fury struck the heart of Zhu Zi too, rage surged in his eyes.

However, he instinctively felt that something wasn’t right. It was like there were some changes in Zong Shou’s body that correlated with the Heaven and the Earth.

It made him feel both fear and for some reason he actually felt close to it.

“What is going on? Why is this feeling so weird...”

Confucian Faction wasn’t good at energy viewing techniques but before Zhu Zi formed his Dao he studied Taoist, Confucian, and Legalism books and knew a little about it.

Now, when he was gathering Spiritual Energy in his eyes, he saw was total emptiness.

This not only not put him at ease but instead filled him with shock.

At this moment, he couldn’t see anything but he felt that it definitely couldn’t be emptiness.

As the Southeast Overlord of the Cloud World, Great Gan Celestial Ruler, owner of 76 worlds!

This person’s King Energy should be boiling and extremely abundant!

Was it Xiuguan!

He tried a few times to break through that Deduction Barrier to no effect. Zhu Zi instantly looked towards Xiuguan and only felt helpless.

With this top person of the world helping to cover, only a few people in the world would be able to see Zong Shou’s destiny.

However, was he trying too hard?

Xiuguan smiled and didn’t speak, he didn’t bother about Zhu Zi at all.

Zong Shou was the current Saint King, his Dao was compatible with the Heavens, so how could these things be found out by you now?

Maybe in the past, when Xi Zi was plotted against by the various factions, but now he was just collecting some interest.

Zong Shou shook his head. He really couldn’t be bothered with that Saint Dong.

He was lazy to argue with that person as he said solemnly, “I am in charge of the formation and won’t be able to be distracted! Senior Master Xiuguan, Master Dragon Shadow, Master Xuanshuang, and Senior Master Yuanjing please help me!”

When the four of them heard this, their faces became solemn. They knew that the battle today was already at the end and it was the most crucial moment. It decided how much they gained today.

Xiuguan retracted his gaze and smiled, “I won’t dare not to follow!”

A silver glow slowly expanded and locked the Vast Habitat tightly. Dong Zhongsu and Xingya were both trapped within the Vast Habitat.

Dragon Shadow’s expression didn’t change as he said flatly, “Of course, I will go all out!” Although there wasn’t any movement around him, the Sword intent became purer and it shot out of the Vast Habitat.

Yuanjing giggled, “You want to seal? Dong Zhongsu, that year when you and Zhengxuan surrounded and killed my Master, did you think that you would face such a situation? Oh right, there was also Brother Xingya...”

Although Lin Xuanshuang didn’t say a word but she muttered True Words, drops of white light gathered around Zong Shou.

Zong Shou only felt that the True Essence and life force around him instantly recovered him to his prime.

A large number of the hidden injuries caused by using King Path Martial Arts to forcefully control the formation at Celestial Realm Cultivation were instantly healed up. His worries were also totally wiped clean.

He felt grateful deep down. His thoughts became even more serious.

Spiritual Energy surged in the air and it cycled about. More Will of the Heavens was forcefully pulled over to merge with the sword power.

Just a breath later, the Seven Swords in the air buzzed once more.

Especially the God Refined Sword which rang the loudest. The Spiritual Sense that spread out from the Sword Spirit was one of excitement.

“You are so happy? Oh, enemy...”

With how Xi Zi died, this Sword Spirit naturally saw those two as enemies.

Which was why even when Kunming who was also End Realm died, this God Refined Sword wasn’t as happy.

These two people were the ones it cared about.

Zong Shou didn’t hesitate, controlling the sword formation to lock onto Xing Ya who was slightly weaker.

The latter’s face turned white. He didn’t hesitate to struggle with all his might.

Zong Shou’s gaze didn’t change, a look of disdain flashed across his eyes.

What was the point of trying now?

“Kill!”

That vast Heaven Path Sword landed once more. It was brimming with unblockable power. Just as they clashed, it shattered the few Celestial Artifacts that Xingya threw out.

At this time, a giant hand reached in beside Xingya.

Zong Shou squinted and without using Spiritual Sense to look, he knew that it was Wushang Yuan Demon Li Biexue.

One of the three Demon Ancestors in the Cloud World, since Xi Zi’s death only two remained.

The two of them were always close to one another like teeth and lips. At this time, he naturally had to save him.

Zong Shou didn’t bother at all, slightly twisting the trajectory of the Heaven Path Sword Intent like he was turning it to target Li Biexue.

Wushang Yuan Demon was startled and pulled back that hand like it had touched a flame.

After forcing him back, Zong Shou didn’t show any mercy anymore and vented all the sword power toward Xingya.

“10 days ago, hundreds of my fellow sect disciples were wiped out. Today, I am taking revenge on you for it!”

The moment he said this, Xingya’s body collapsed and turned into blood and dust.

But his soul was not destroyed. Not only was it really firm, the power of it struggling was several times that of before.

Zong Shou laughed coldly, with a seal the nine-layer pagoda behind him brought at least 20% of the power of the Ten Thousand Celestial Formation flying over.

“Suppress!”

That golden pagoda expanded and stretched 10,000 feet before crashing down.

It forcefully pressed Xingya’s Indestructible Soul under it. With the entire formation’s strength, this person would definitely not be able to escape.

The sword power was already used up, so Zong Shou dissipated the excess. The Common People’s Seven Sword once again started to amass strength.

However, just at this moment, Dong Zhongsu’s flesh and blood suddenly exploded.

He actually took the initiative to explode his physical body to blow open the Vast Habitat pillars.
