CHAPTER 953: CHAPTER 91: I SHALL STAND UPON THE HEAVENS

The blazing light swept across, illuminating the entire Great Phoenix Cave Heaven.

Four Dragon Veins gathered together.

The Immortal Tree reached "perfection" at this moment.

The fortune of the Dragon Veins from the entire Da Chu Dynasty was now bestowed upon one individual...

Zhao Chunyang paused in the Sword Origin River, watching the woman not far away with a solemn expression.

Yuan Huang, bathed in endless Holy Light, stood up again.

She silently felt the gift of the Immortal Tree.

For a thousand years, the Primordial Energy had been exhausted.

Seeking to become a Yang God was exceedingly difficult...

Under such suppression of the Great Dao, Heavenly People couldn’t emerge.

But now, everything was different.

The tides of the Moon Hidden Realm surged, the Holy Light of the Immortal Tree roared, and a faint sound of breaking echoed in Yuan Huang’s Heart Lake.

Crack!

The "shackle" of the Yang God Tenth Layer Heaven was broken at this moment.

The Great Dao’s limitations still existed, but Yuan Huang became an "exception."

She closed her eyes, silently feeling the immense fortune... With this vast fortune upon her, the Phoenix Fire in the Great Phoenix Cave Heaven, which was on the brink of extinguishing, rekindled and spread fiercely.

These Phoenix Fires could originally not approach the Sword Origin River.

But with the Dragon Vein Fortune upon them.

The Phoenix Fire surrounded and infiltrated.

The Sword Origin River was also set aflame.

Zhao Chunyang lowered his head, watching the golden flame flickering to the cuff of his sleeve. He extended his palm to grasp it...

Yuan Huang was no longer the same as before.

Just a moment ago, this wisp of Phoenix Fire could be extinguished with a mere flick of the sleeve.

But this time, Zhao Chunyang needed to use the "power of the Sword Origin" to put it out.

Zhao Chunyang looked at the scattered ashes of the flame, a hint of sentiment in his eyes.

Because of the Great Dao’s restrictions and the pressure of heaven and earth, even though he comprehended the "Sword Dao Source," he could not reach the Heavenly Human Realm.

One could say it was untimely.

Or perhaps... destiny was such.

But Yuan Huang in front of him walked a completely different path from his own.

By using the Immortal Tree, leveraging the Dragon Vein Fortune, Yuan Huang took the step countless cultivators have longed to take over thousands of years.

"This... is the Heavenly People?"

Zhao Chunyang spoke softly.

"This, is the Heavenly People."

Yuan Huang raised her head, accepting the baptism of the Immortal Tree, whispering a soft sigh.

Once again, she was shrouded in Holy Light, transforming into a sun unbearable for all living beings to look at directly.

The brilliance cast down by the Immortal Tree all fell into the Great Dao River.

At the horizon of the Great Phoenix Cave Heaven, a massive red shadow approached, its power alone several times, ten times, more majestic than before just in the Devil Body Dharma Form.

Yuan Huang lifted her arms.

Behind her, the massive shadow suddenly rose, the Path of All Living Beings and Phoenix Fire merged, forming a world-destroying wave that could engulf the entire Cave Heaven.

"What an unbelievable force."

Zhao Chunyang marveled softly as he watched the wave rise at the end of the Great Phoenix Cave Heaven.

He had to admit.

With the power of four Dragon Veins, the Holy Empress’s Lifebound Cave Heaven’s strength exceeded his Sword Origin River...

"Yuan Huang, congratulations..."

Zhao Chunyang said, "But, is what you’re willing to give everything for, truly this?"

"..."

Yuan Huang paused briefly, looking at the old man in the Lotus Robe in the Sword Origin River, her eyes turning sharp again.

After merging with the four Dragon Veins, with endless power upon her.

Her fear of Zhao Chunyang completely dissipated—

The Holy Empress slowly levitated to a height equal with Zhao Chunyang.

She sneered, "Which cultivator in this world doesn’t wish to prove the Dao, or seek immortality?"

"..."

Zhao Chunyang was silent for a moment and asked, "And then?"

And then?

Yuan Huang raised an eyebrow.

She couldn’t understand what Zhao Chunyang was trying to convey.

"And then..."

Yuan Huang said expressionlessly, "I must ask you to die."

After a short pause.

"Go!"

A softly spoken word.

The Phoenix Fire tide suddenly raged!

Within the tide, a Phoenix Fire Giant Sword, a full thousand feet long, emerged from the All Living Beings Dao Source, slashing toward the Sword Origin River!

The Heavenly Dao collapsed, no one could become Heavenly People.

But...

Now Yuan Huang broke the shackle!

She should be invincible in this era!

Since faced with the Sword Palace Master! Then it should be cut with the sword!

The Phoenix Fire formed into a sword shape and fell upon the Sword Origin River as Zhao Chunyang threw another punch... This time, the Sword Dao Source didn’t burst out with a "devastating" power, under the empowering of the four Dragon Veins, the Holy Empress already had a power that didn’t belong to this era.

Boom!!!

The Sword Origin River and Phoenix Fire collided!

Zhao Chunyang frowned slightly, his expression unchanged, as he threw a punch followed by the second, and then the third.

The Sword Origin River shot out countless sword lights!

Bang bang bang bang bang bang!

The thundering roars echoed in the Cave Heaven—

"Hm..."

Bathed in Holy Light, Yuan Huang groaned in her Heart Lake.

She looked gloomily at the distant old man.

She obtained four Dragon Veins and broke the Yang God shackle!

With such a massive advantage, she still couldn’t crush Zhao Chunyang!

The Great Phoenix Cave Heaven, exerting all its strength, only managed to make it a draw with the Sword Origin River!

Yet...

The Immortal Tree had already fully rejuvenated and was growing rapidly!

Her power would grow increasingly stronger, as the battle continued... Zhao Chunyang would eventually fall behind!

Yuan Huang joined her hands to form seals.

The Phoenix Fire no longer formed a sword shape as she displayed her divine skills, the All Living Beings Dao Source at the end of the Great Phoenix Cave Heaven poured out entirely, the "living beings" previously sent to Ren Shou Palace and devoured, once again possessed bodies at this moment, they were no longer just isolated heads.

All living beings bathed in the sea of fire, resurging with the Heavenly People.

Under the Holy Empress’s manipulation through Divine Thought—

These living beings surged with the tide, sweeping toward the Sword Origin River. As they touched the Sword Origin River, they exploded upon impact, igniting themselves completely—

Boom boom boom!

Countless blood splattered in the Phoenix Fire—

These "all living beings" carried with them the filthy and dirty Power of Cause and Effect, falling into the surging river of the Sword Dao Source.

Zhao Chunyang repeatedly punched.

Countless Sword Qi were thrown with the punch wind.

But the Sword Origin River was no longer clear, and his Lotus Robe was tainted and beginning to break apart.

After the Holy Empress ascended, the two were originally at "equal" height.

But under this tidal clash.

The Sword Origin River kept falling, falling, finally crashing to the ground.

["Is what you’re willing to give everything for, truly this?"]

At this moment, feeling the unbounded power of the Immortal Tree.

She looked down at the Lotus Robed figure submerged in the Phoenix Fire tide.

Inexplicably, Zhao Chunyang’s earlier question echoed in her mind.

"...Yes."

The Holy Empress uttered softly, "What I pursue... is exactly this."

She raised her arms again.

The mighty blue sky was lit by the Phoenix Fire.

For miles, the dark clouds turned crimson.

This was a wondrous sensation never experienced before.

"From now on..."

The Holy Empress smiled and said, "I shall stand above the heavens."
