Chapter 1404: Chapter 1398: Dao Of Shadow
Min Tiange’s Spiritual power climbed steadily.
It seemed the entire world was left with only the Spiritual power of light and shadow.
In an instant, the golden cubes imbued with the ‘Red Dust Realm’ immortal power that the Red Dust Immortal had spread in all directions shattered like glass beneath Min Tiange’s erupting Spiritual power.
“Go!”
At this moment, even an immortal with exceptionally high standards like the Red Dust Immortal wore a contorted expression, using the Red Dust Realm to shield the three Azure Cloud Li Clan members who were stunned by the sudden turn of events.
This was not the Red Dust Immortal’s first clash with Min Tiange.
The last time was when the Azure Cloud Li Clan came to rescue the Xuanyuan Clan members; His Red Dust Immortal method had isolated Min Tiange outside.
But this time, his Red Dust Realm appeared so fragile.
It was only now that He understood: Min Tiange, a human already worthy of the world’s utmost vigilance, had been hiding his true strength!
Min Tiange’s Spiritual power was already sufficient to break through to the Mahayana realm; he controlled the ultimate Dao of Light and Shadow.
He said Let there be light, and in the world dyed blood-red by the Blood Moon, white light rose in the east.
He said Let there be darkness, and dense clouds gathered out of thin air in the sky, as darkness gradually shrouded the area from the west.
When light and shadow intersected, this world of black and white became the mortal realm under Min Tiange’s absolute control!
He looked down upon everyone, vowing to kill these Li Clan members who dared to offend the heavens.
Wielding light and shadow, Min Tiange’s voice was filled with cold indifference.
“I stand one level higher than heaven. Do mere ants like you dare to shake a mighty tree?”
“You ants peering at the heavens; dying by my hands is a death without regrets.”
…
“How can he be so powerful?!!”
The world was divided into two colors, and Li Yunbing was plunged into the darkness.
Vision, perception, divine sense… After turning into a demon, Li Yunbing, who utilized ‘wicked thoughts’, could even use his wicked thoughts to monitor every single corner eroded by them.
Yet at this moment, he actually felt incredibly helpless.
His field of vision was reduced to a mere ten meters, pitch-black before his eyes, but he could see the white light of another world isolated beyond the darkness.
His wicked thoughts were isolated by the Great Dao of ‘Shadow’. He couldn’t even sense his own ‘watchdog’ evil art.
When he mentally commanded the tentacles to bombard, fortunately, the ground was trembling, and sounds were coming through.
Min Tiange’s oppressive might of light and shadow was suffocating; this was the oppressive might belonging to the absolute number one genius in the world!
Then, the oppressive might turned into fear.
“Where am I? Grandpa, Third Uncle, Red Dust Immortal!!!”
Suppressing the fear in his heart, Li Yunbing flew madly amidst Min Tiange’s oppressive might.
Despite being a Body Integration realm demon overlord, even hailed as a Demon Saint within the Demon Cave, at this moment in the darkness, he was actually like a lost mortal.
Within the laws of heaven and earth, only darkness remained.
He flew for a full fifteen minutes.
For a Body Integration realm expert, this was enough to fly a very long distance. Relying on his memory, that was also where his clansmen were located.
Getting closer!
It wasn’t until he approached the source of light within the darkness that Li Yunbing, whose face was already pale after turning into a demon, lost every last trace of color.
From one patch of darkness, he had arrived at yet another patch of darkness.
“Where am I… where exactly am I?”
The fear he had forgotten in despair for many years gradually rose in his heart.
Li Yunbing never expected that facing Min Tiange, in just the instant Min Tiange’s strength erupted, he would have already fallen into such a predicament.
He was trapped in this world filled with darkness, seemingly without end, never able to get out. He didn’t even know where he was!
“Dao of Shadow… Dao of Shadow… where am I…”
An unknown amount of time passed. Li Yunbing held his breath and focused, madly erupting all of his ‘Cloud’ Dao methods and the Spiritual power of a Demon Saint.
He seemed to hear figures moving about and the clamor of a marketplace.
……
On one side was darkness, on the other was light!
The moment Min Tiange stopped hiding, Li Dalong finally understood just how terrifying the Spiritual power of light and shadow truly was.
The two colors of black and white shrouded the entire world; even the Red Dust Realm that the Red Dust Immortal took such pride in paled in comparison beneath this power.
Min Tiange floated in mid-air at the center where light and darkness were separated.
One side of him was completely swallowed by the darkness, while the other side was illuminated by the radiant brilliance of heaven and earth.
This Hall Master of the Peerless Hall, who had lived freely under the oppressive might of the Human Emperor for sixty thousand years, remained an existence completely out of reach for the people of the world, even though his plans from the first to the fifth step had failed.
Invincible!
As Min Tiange broke free from all his restraints, Li Dalong looked up at him, leaving only this single thought in his mind.
Yet he still stared deadlocked into Min Tiange’s eyes.
Li Yunbing was submerged in darkness.
That was Min Tiange’s Dao of Shadow, which isolated all vision, heavenly secrets, and the prying of divine senses.
In the Dao of Light, however, there was none of the imagined warmth of sunlight; instead, it left no place to hide, incinerating absolutely everything.
Light, in truth, governed slaughter.
In mere moments, the Dao of Light had already shattered the Red Dust Immortal’s Red Dust Realm.
“Ah!!!”
Li Yaotie was entirely engulfed in flames, fully unleashing the Great Dao of Heavenly Fire.
His physical body was indestructible, yet even Li Yaotie, who had mastered the Great Dao of Heavenly Fire, felt his body sustaining damage under the radiant illumination—a feeling he hadn’t experienced in a long time.
A scorching heat of a higher tier than the Great Dao of Heavenly Fire was destroying his body; his Unorthodox Artifact Body was constantly enduring the attacks of the Dao of Light beneath the radiance.
“Son of a bitch,” Li Yaotie sneered fiercely. How could a man who could detach his own hands and feet be stopped by this kind of pain?
His clothes were destroyed, and streaks of wounds began to appear all over his body.
Accompanied by the flames and the steam of his evaporating heavy sweat, he dragged his massive hammer, trudging forward with great difficulty.
Array formations of his Unorthodox Artifact Body formed beneath his feet one after another, only to be destroyed, but no matter what, nothing could stop his absolute resolve to hammer Min Tiange to death.
“Boom!”
The Heaven-Piercing Coffin crashed onto the ground and slowly opened. A surge of black mist poured out from the coffin.
This coffin seemed to hide all the sins of the world; the aura from the Underworld and the power of a supreme-grade Spirit Treasure shielded Li Dalong, as hissing screeches echoed from within.
The shadow beneath his feet was actually squirming, extending a hand in an attempt to drag Li Dalong into the shadow.
He originally wanted to leave.
He had shouted for Li Yaotie and Li Yunbing to leave, but at this moment, Li Dalong’s eyes were filled with fury.
Min Tiange’s eruption happened in a mere instant, and his grandson Yunbing had already disappeared without a trace.
“Boom!”
A surge of black mist shot out from the Heaven-Piercing Coffin, repelling the hands reaching out from the shadow!
And from this moment on, bone-chilling, mournful shrieks echoed from the Heavenly Coffin, as if a great terror was about to emerge from within.
“Hm?”
Min Tiange, standing at the center of light and darkness, finally showed a trace of surprise in his eyes at this moment.
He had hidden for many years.
It wasn’t until Su Chen’s resurrection disrupted all his plans, compounded by the siege of the Li Clan members, that he could no longer conceal his strength.
Standing one level higher than heaven, he naturally wanted to make these ants from the Azure Cloud Li Clan pay the price for daring to attack him!
Killing them before the Spirit Lord caught up would be enough.
But now, he found it hard to believe that someone like Li Yaotie—a Dao-Glimpsing realm cultivator possessing an inferior Dao method like the ‘Great Dao of Heavenly Fire’—could actually move beneath his radiance.
And there was Li Dalong, who kept staring at him…
“That coffin, what is it?”
Min Tiange murmured. A sense of dread actually rose in his heart; for some unknown reason, he regretted attempting to kill these ants just a moment ago.
As the Heaven-Piercing Coffin opened.
He sensed a ‘darkness’ even more profound than the Dao of Shadow.
Something inside seemed to be peering at him through the Heavenly Coffin, letting out a mocking laugh at him.
When light and shadow had completely submerged this heaven and earth, the blood sea that had vanished from the sky reappeared due to the opening of the Heavenly Coffin, cascading down from the heavens like a surging river.
Min Tiange furrowed his brows, originally intending to leave, but his Dao of Light and Shadow stalled.
“Clatter, clatter!”
From the boundless blood sea falling from the sky like a blood-red waterfall, the clattering sound of chains striking a pulley rang out.
Within the waterfall formed by the blood sea, the Heaven-Imprisoning Lock swam about, like a primordial behemoth ready to devour people at any moment!
Another color was finally added to the world of light and darkness.
Li Dalong stood at the center of the blood sea falling from the sky.
Gradually, rivers of blood formed on the ground, and he floated half-submerged in the center of the blood sea.
In the distance, Li Yaotie, who was struggling to advance within the Dao of Light, froze.
His father had been in the Underworld for so many years; he originally thought that by mastering the Great Dao of Heavenly Fire, he could at least approach his father’s strength.
But the moment the Heavenly Coffin opened, he finally understood that his father, who commanded the Underworld, had long since undergone a substantive transformation.
This transformation was enough… to deal with Min Tiange, who had not yet broken through to the Mahayana realm!
And then… blub, blub… Li Yaotie, who had been struggling to move within the Dao of Light, lost his focus for a second and was instantly submerged by the Nether River falling from the sky.
Within the Nether River, Li Dalong searched for the missing Li Yunbing, but he couldn’t find him no matter what.
But at this moment, he could feel Min Tiange attempting to flee.
Shadow!
Only the Dao of Shadow could make Yunbing disappear without a trace.
Suppressing the anxiety in his heart, amidst the Nether River that fully unleashed the results of his years of cultivation in the Underworld, he stared directly at Min Tiange, who looked like a god.
“Do you really think there’s no one left in this world who can put you in your place?”
Min Tiange stared silently at Li Dalong, who was bathing in the blood sea within the Nether River.
He considered himself invincible within the Body Integration realm, capable of contending with Mahayana experts as a Half-Step Mahayana cultivator, and his Dao of Light and Shadow was enough to look down upon the masses.
But within this Nether River, he sensed an ancient aura he had never encountered before; it seemed there were layers upon layers of a world filled with the mournful wails of fierce ghosts and nether souls.
This reminded him of a place that had disappeared.
The Underworld.
…
“This is… the power of the Underworld?!!”
At the edge of the Blood Moon, the Hundred-Slaughter Star Lord and His Four Killing Generals sensed everything happening here.
He had also rushed over hurriedly.
As the Star Lord of the Immortal Court’s Thunder Department in charge of slaughter, no immortal understood better than Him exactly how to destroy a faction’s foundation.
Unfortunately, the legendary feats of the Li Clan’s mysterious ‘Old Ancestor’ in the Imperial Capital were far too world-shocking.
Therefore, settling for the next best thing, He naturally wanted to kill Li Dalong.
But now, sensing through the Blood Moon the boundless blood sea cascading within it, Li Dalong bathing in the Nether River, and Min Tiange in a standoff against Li Dalong at the center of light and darkness.
His majestic face gradually turned dark.
“Star… Star Lord, Li Dalong has shown himself. He is the pillar that has carried the Azure Cloud Li Clan to this day. Are… are we still going to kill him?” The Wind Immortal asked routinely.
“To think someone actually controls the Spiritual power of the Underworld. Didn’t that place fall long ago? It is already a dead zone.”
The Lightning Immortal noticed Zu Ren’s rising fury.
He said in a deep voice, “Let’s pick someone else, Star Lord. The Underworld was once a place that even our Immortal Emperor had to treat with caution.
Li Dalong is facing off against Min Tiange. When the Spirit Lord arrives, He will naturally take their lives. If even the Spirit Lord cannot deal with them, it would be useless for us to go.”
“Hmph!”
The Hundred-Slaughter Star Lord viciously flung His right hand aside, turning His back to the Blood Moon.
The fury in His heart squeezed through His gritted teeth. “Let’s go!”
