Today, the world looked at Jiang Wang. Under Jiang Wang's feet, it was like ascending on clouds, taking a single step to reach the high heavens.
The heavens were thirty-three layers high, the dark blue without seeing waves.
Let's also swim in the deep sea!
The deep sea of the Heavenly Dao is boundless and endless; Jiang Wang is unrestrained and unbound.
Forgiven by the heavens where there is no sin, sinking and sleeping in the era of Yuan Zhi Ben's awakening, he is the most free existence within the deep sea of the Heavenly Dao.
The three attested Heavenly Sovereigns in the present world, combined with the two from the Demon Heavens, Devil Heavens, Asura Heavens, Nether Heavens, and Vast Sea Heavens, represent the most powerful branches of the Heavenly Dao under the present world. They can go anywhere in the myriad realms of all heavens.
Perhaps there are other strong individuals who can roam in the deep sea of the Heavenly Dao, but due to various reasons, they cannot stand in the bright light – that is also a kind of lack of freedom.
To be able to stand under the sunlight is itself power.
Under the light of the heavens, there is nothing else.
Demon Realm, Ancient Imperial City, Seal God Platform.
Today, banners were erected everywhere, and colored ribbons were like rainbows.
Since Qi Xianglin burned in the calamity of the mundane world, Jiang Wang declared boldly that in the myriad realms of all heavens, no one could reach the absolute peak without his nod. During this time... truly no one who ascended to the top appeared.
The path to the extraordinary is arduous and long. The possibility of winning the ascent to the top is already one in a billion. Originally, it required cultivating one's entire life to pursue that extraordinarily high and illusory opportunity. At the critical moment of ascending to the top, one still needed to face Jiang Wang's sword directly... who could bear this?
When Jiang Wang was a True Sovereign, no cultivator at the Grotto-Heaven level could contend with him.
Now he has already attested to the absolute peak.
Which qualified strong individual willing to ascend to the top would bet their entire life at the most critical moment of their cultivation path?
Even if there were strong individuals protecting the path, there are not many in this world who dare say they can certainly block the one protecting the path from Jiang Wang!
But all sides understood.
Jiang Wang holding his sword there was a "problem" that must be solved.
A "problem" for all heavens and myriad realms!
Jiang Wang alone occupied the deep sea of the Heavenly Dao, hiding his sword within it, which was equivalent to placing a sword on the necks of other races. Who could allow this? If they really indulged him like this, there would be no need to start the God Xiao war. All realms would have long since lined up to kneel to the Human Race, perhaps even getting some meat and bones as a reward for their beautiful posture.
But to truly solve this problem, it could only be the Demon Race, Devil Race, Asura, or Sea Race.
These four races were the absolute main force on the God Xiao battlefield. If they did not come forward, then no one in all realms would come forward. If they could not withstand it, this war would have no meaning.
Seeing that autumn had already passed and winter was about to end, the Demon Race, Devil Race, Asura, and Sea Race had all conducted several vague probes, and none of them had drawn Jiang Wang out.
The Demon Race finally decided to make a real move.
The True Demon walking onto the Seal God Platform today was named Lu Zhi.
Not the deer of the forest, nor the heron of the sky, but the surname Lu of Lu Shuanghe in the human world.
Among the current True Demons, he was the only one who did not take his race's affiliation as his surname but instead bore a human surname.
He was a thoroughgoing New Demon, the firmest adherent of the "Teacher Barbarian Faction." He advocated the "Ancient Useless Theory," demanding that the Demon Race abandon all of their past and no longer indulge in the glory of the old era. Instead, they should steadily learn from the strongest in the present world, just as the distant ancient Human Race learned from the Demon Race Heavenly Court.
Different from the despairing self-loathing thoughts of the "Bitter Cage Faction," the "Teacher Barbarian Faction" was after all still exploring the future of the race, hence it could develop under the sunlight and become a force that could not be underestimated in the Demon Realm.
In fact, the Demon Race's learning from the Human Race had already begun; it was just that the "Teacher Barbarian Faction" wanted to be more radical, like Lu Zhi, who could even be called "thorough."
He believed that only by truly approaching or even becoming human could one understand the Human Race and finally defeat them.
He advocated comprehensively learning from the Human Race, thoroughly "humanizing" their clothing, food, housing, and transportation. He himself practiced what he preached, approaching the Human Race in all aspects.
He even changed his surname, directly breaking the ancient honor of the "Heaven Fate Demon Race."
Now, if he stripped off his demon mark, no one would be able to distinguish who he was.
Many in the Demon Race could not understand him, even viewing him with hostility, thinking he had a human heart and was a race traitor, but he did not care.
In Yuan Zhi Ben's Heaven List, he ranked third.
That is to say, looking at the entire Heavenly Prison World, among all True Demons, regardless of age or origin, those who could surpass him numbered no more than a handful. It could be said that those who could steadily defeat him numbered none.
In fact, the top three on the Heaven List were all equal, differing only by a hair's breadth.
In a true fight with real knives and guns, even Yuan Zhi Ben, who ranked at the peak of Inquiry, could not say accurately who would win or lose.
It was also acceptable to say that Lu Zhi was the strongest True Demon.
Today he came to attest to the Dao.
Now, today's challenge against the Human Race was still led by the Demon Race!
On the Seal God Platform, Lu Zhi ascended the stairs.
Beneath the long stairs, Qi Guanying held his knife and waited quietly.
All sides understood that once someone truly took that step, they must have already made all preparations.
Whether Jiang Wang could truly suppress the myriad realms, holding his sword horizontally at the absolute peak, still needed to be verified by such a prepared individual who stepped onto the path.
Today's Seal God Platform ceremony was fully prepared, and of course, it was not just a ceremony.
All gods of all gods, all spirits of all spirits, must be decreed one.
Today was the step for the Demon Race to solve the problem. It could be said that all heavens and myriad realms were waiting for the result of this ascent to the top. Today, success was permitted, failure was not. Even if there was a one in ten thousand chance, he would be decreed as a Yang God!
Lu Zhi did not feel he needed to fall to that point, relying on the power of the Seal God Platform to stand at the Derived Dao level.
He looked up at the high heavens.
He had a pair of slender and firm eyes; his demon mark was in his eyes - the demon pattern reflected in his pupils, like cracks, resembling a spider web.
The golden sun of the Demon Realm was so brilliant, shining a piece of light color in his eyes, magnificent like shattered glass.
He looked at this world, complex and broken. This world looked at him, also strange and bizarre.
A Daoist robe draped over his body, on which four Dao characters were embroidered - "Dao Law Natural."
He actively came to the Seal God Platform to attest to the Dao, but he did not specifically choose to attest to the Dao today to challenge Jiang Wang's blockade.
His painstaking efforts were already full, his accumulation already full, the water naturally flowed into a canal.
Accumulating to that point, then walk forward, no matter who is in front!
He liked a sentence from the Human Race very much - "The road is not blocked, people always want to walk forward."
Today's Human Race, was it not the Demon Race of the past?
He wanted to tell those people, to tell that Jiang Wang - demons also want to walk forward.
The Human Race cannot block it.
Who can be eternally undecaying, forever high above?
He stepped forward, ascending the stairs upwards.
Heavenly light sprinkled on his shoulders, banners fluttered in the wind.
Having already seen through the strongest Grotto-Heaven since the opening of heaven and earth, he did not think he possessed invincible power. But the vitality of life always goes upwards.
Then upwards.
Come! Jiang Wang!
Lu Zhi lifted his foot high, already seeing the endless heavens, the vast world, the scenery of the absolute peak already in his eyes, the extraordinary absolute peak just in front.
Suddenly, in the highest place of the absolute top, the heavenly light turned chaotic.
A sword light appeared! All heavenly light became chaotic because of it.
Come! This silent declaration!
The Dao calendar was already three thousand nine hundred and twenty-nine years, year-end. How far forward had Jiang Wang, who attested to the Dao on an autumn day, walked in just one season?
Past matters were all old matters. This chapter today, who would turn the page to look?
Let's see who the protagonist of today is!
Lu Zhi stood with his eyes wide open, his long hair danced wildly, the cracks in his eyes actually leaped out of his eyes and spread throughout his body, inside and out!
His entire demon body was like broken porcelain. And his arduous journey on the path of Dao was also cracking into his knife.
But great rivers were not enough to describe the surging of his blood; wolf smoke and beacon fires could not reach the burning desire of his spirit.
Having the Human Race's Jiang Wang block the way, this was the most difficult absolute peak road from ancient times to the present. Without it, it would not be enough to display his heroism, Lu Zhi!
He had already prepared to challenge while ascending to the top, he had prepared to fight and kill with Jiang Wang the moment he ascended to the top—
But in an instant of sword light, the front was empty.
Suddenly, sword intent rolled again, like clouds and mist, gathering eight Dao characters, fluttering like banners above the absolute peak—
"Lu Zhi has the will, allowed to ascend the absolute peak!"
Lu Zhi's accumulated power for a long time had nowhere to fall, but he actually stepped onto the absolute peak in one step. It was not until his demon body shed and transformed, and his power rose, that he had the true feeling of his body ascending to the absolute peak.
Not right!
Lu Zhi immediately thought of Qi Xianglin.
That day, didn't Qi Xianglin also stumble in one step and ascend to the absolute peak?
At that time, everyone thought the danger had passed, and afterwards, Jiang Wang attested to the Dao in all heavens, a fierce flame burning him into the ashes of calamity.
Afterwards, the strong individuals of the Demon Race analyzed it many times and confirmed that the cause of Qi Xianglin's death was already a buried fire seed.
Lu Zhi backhanded a knife, piercing into his abdomen, using the incomparably sharp knife intent to see through himself for the first time.
There was no more intense method than this, no more thorough method than this.
No one harmed him, he harmed himself first.
Before today, who could have thought of this?
An individual strong enough to ascend to the extraordinary absolute peak, after ascending to the top, the first thing he did was not to consolidate his cultivation, solidify his great Dao, but to examine himself at the extraordinary absolute peak, search his physical body, and find that fire seed that he didn't know if it existed or where it existed!
Qi Guanying, who was also standing on the long stairs of the Seal God Platform at this time, gripped his knife.
He could see that Jiang Wang had indeed not truly made a move—
Because the Demon Race had already made all aspects of preparation today, if Jiang Wang truly made a move, this moment should have already become a capture. But no matter what method was used, they could not capture the trace of Jiang Wang leaping out of the deep sea of the Heavenly Dao. This person was fundamentally just in the deep sea of the Heavenly Dao, only a wisp of sword intent hanging from afar like a fishing line.
But if Jiang Wang did not truly make a move, what should the Demon Race do with all the preparations made today?
Could they make today's preparations every day? Could every absolute peak of the Demon Race that ascended to the top, even after ascending, be as anxious as Lu Zhi today?
This wisp of sword intent and eight Dao characters were simply playing around!
Qi Guanying took a step out, brushed past Lu Zhi who was self-examining at the absolute peak, and killed with a knife into the deep sea of the Heavenly Dao.
Facing it head-on was a sword!
The tide divided for it, order shifted because of it!
Where were the golden sun and blood moon now? The Demon Realm's heavenly sea was cut open by a single sword!
When Qi Guanying was still far away in the Demon Realm, Jiang Wang at most would just greet him.
A wisp of sword intent surprising Lu Zhi was also the limit. He would not truly be self-confident enough to think that the Demon Race would never find a way to deal with him.
He believed that as long as he truly set foot in the Demon Realm, the Demon Race would give him a thousand and one reasons to stay.
Never underestimate the wisdom of a race. To eat for ten thousand years with one move is absolutely impossible.
But since Qi Guanying jumped into the deep sea of the Heavenly Dao, there was nothing more to say—
I come too!
From the present world's Heavenly Dao to all heavens was from the mainstream to a branch, going with the flow, not only easy but also able to borrow the momentum of the water. From the Demon Realm's Heavenly Dao to the present world's Heavenly Dao was against the flow, especially needing water nature, because going against the current is confronting.
So the ancient "leaping over the dragon gate" was so difficult.
Jiang Wang only needed to give a kick at the crucial moment, which was enough to kick any climber into the deep abyss.
So even facing Yuan Zhi Ben, he was confident in saying that among the swimmers in the deep sea of the Heavenly Dao, there was me and no him.
This was because he not only repeatedly attested to being a Heavenly Sovereign, his "water nature" was better, and with the posture of the three attestations in the present world, he naturally occupied a positional advantage—this was also an embodiment of the Human Race's grand momentum, high above, unmatched in momentum!
As for Qi Guanying...
Jiang Wang did not believe that any absolute peak could defeat himself while confronting the deep sea of the Heavenly Dao at the same time!
From the depths of the heavenly sea to the point where Qi Guanying fell into the water, Jiang Wang arrived instantly. And with one sword strike, an endless radiance burst forth instantly. The entire Demon Realm's Heavenly Dao ocean was shimmering with sword light!
This was the sword he did not use when corresponding with Jiang Hong on the Viewing River Platform.
Just use this one sword to welcome Qi Guanying, who was waiting on the Seal God Platform, waiting for his knife that descended to the world.
Qi Guanying's originally ought to have been a shocking ancient and present-day knife, extremely heavy, extremely difficult, swimming in the traces of the heavenly sea, seemingly carrying the pressure of the heavenly sea and killing. But in fact, he was the first to send and the last to arrive, meeting Jiang Wang's sword head-on, striking his side edge—
The momentum of the knife was torn apart!
The long sword's momentum did not stop, but in front of it, only the waves of the heavenly sea remained, and a lock of black hair was cut off.
Qi Guanying was after all a countable strong individual in the current world. Although he had a battlefield disadvantage, it was not possible for him to be killed so easily. Although victory was difficult in the heavenly sea, he came and went with composure.
That wisp of broken hair instantly roared into an ink-colored Qilin, roaming the deep sea, staining the clear waves. This was Qi Guanying's temporary means of seizing control of the sea while lurking and leaving.
But the endless sword light instantly surged in, tearing this ink-colored Qilin into pieces on the spot!
In the vast and boundless deep sea of the Heavenly Dao, Jiang Wang stood alone in his green shirt, his sword lifted horizontally, the tip of the sword just stopping at that wisp of broken hair, and he said indifferently: "In the heavenly sea, I am unrivaled! I think you, Qi Guanying, also count as a senior on the absolute peak road. Today, cutting hair replaces the head, just as a warning. Dare to invade again, and I will cut off your head!"
Qi Guanying was angry and laughed: "All sides are not permitted to interfere! Let's see who lives and who dies! Come ashore! Let's decide now!"
This surnamed Jiang was so ignorant, truly thinking that he, Qi Guanying, was let go and escaped. All heavens and myriad realms might all be watching!
Jiang Wang looked across the sea quietly, too lazy to say a word, hung his sword and just left.
In the heavenly sea, I am unrivaled; outside the heavenly sea, I will not go.
Whatever was said was all waste words, only for the howling of a defeated dog!
Seeing Jiang Wang's detached back, the anger and hateful smile on Qi Guanying's face all disappeared.
And by his side, Hu Taisui, Zhu Yi, Lu Ximing, Shi Anxuan, figures appeared one by one, gradually becoming clear.
An old voice also rang out: "Matters have reached this point—"
Qi Guanying sheathed his knife: "Then so be it."
"So be it."
Hu Taisui, Zhu Yi, Lu Ximing, and Shi Anxuan all nodded, all responding with "so be it."
That old voice said: "The empty room has no god, the empty sea has no heaven, the illusory sun has no wildness—plant the moon in the water, illuminate the flower in the mirror, lead the butterfly in the dream."
The five Heavenly Demons standing at the extraordinary absolute peak simultaneously emitted an indescribable light. It was like a dream, like an illusion, yet so surging.
The breaths of the five Heavenly Demons rapidly fell, and the barrier between the virtual and the real was forcibly blasted open. A virtual shadow of a golden platform that could be called a miracle just like this descended above the sky of the heavenly sea.
Boom boom boom!
The entire Demon Realm's Heavenly Dao deep sea raised shocking waves. This mad tide did not stop but spread all the way, even sweeping into the deep sea of the present world's Heavenly Dao.
Only to see Jiang Wang stepping on the waves and walking, going far away alone. In the surging angry sea, his body was like a single leaf. Although he was escaping, he was self-contained and composed.
And in the five directions of all realms, wherever the Heavenly Dao was located, from this moment on, the shocking waves did not stop!
After failing to capture and kill Jiang Wang, the Demon Race directly used a more fundamental method.
With that old voice as the leader, borrowing the support of the five Heavenly Demons, Qi Guanying, Hu Taisui, Zhu Yi, Lu Ximing, and Shi Anxuan, combined with the five-directional Heavenly Decree God Dream Array, they cast the power of the Demon Realm's Seal God Platform onto this place. Using its huge consumption, they awakened dreams and shocked gods, and the divine intent invaded the heavens, triggering an intense reaction from the Heavenly Dao, creating a tsunami in the heavenly Dao sea for the last hundred years.
From then on, Jiang Wang was forbidden from borrowing the deep sea of the Heavenly Dao to produce a threat!
Within the next hundred years, this deep sea of the Heavenly Dao would be forbidden for anyone to swim wantonly.
Just like this, Jiang Wang was driven away? So many preparations, and they only expelled him alone without causing him any harm? Lu Zhi gazed at the heavenly sea, his heart unwilling.
But also at this same time, in the midst of the mad tide, he heard a lonely voice.
That voice sounded like it hadn't slept enough, slightly confused: "Who—is shaking the waves?"
"Bully Heaven" Yuan Zhi Ben, at the exact time when swimming was forbidden in the heavenly sea... woke up.
