Cultivation: When you take things to the extreme

Chapter 1199: Chapter 719: Building Momentum

What kind of hand was that?

Only one hand, only one arm, and though its form was massive enough to block the sun, it could not change the fact that it was just an arm, an arm severed from its main body.

At the end of the limb, blood dripped profusely; the cross-section was not smooth, but rather jagged with flesh and bone, it seemed not cleanly cut by a sharp blade, but rather brutally torn apart by some force, ripped off with savage and fierce violence.

This torn arm, though not intact, was covered with wounds of all kinds, some pierced by blades, some crushed by heavy weapons, some scorched by fierce flames, frozen and bound, with Taoist characters heavy as mountains and Brahman seals vast as seas, suppressing destructively.

The various injuries, from different great Dao forces, all established systems with the potential to create worlds, now all focused on this arm, causing unimaginable damage.

Under such wounds, much of the arm was showing white bone or even turned to char, pierced through with terrifying forces, but still, it stubbornly endured, not shattered by the terrifying Dao power, preserving a spark of life, retaining a trace of strength.

Now it was even stretching out from the Dark Abyss Sea; despite being only an arm, a deeply scarred, utterly shattered arm, it still sought to defy fate and reverse the heavens, unleashing terrifying power, confronting the Five Colors Divine Light that split the Dark Abyss Sea.

“Boom!!!”

Hand and sword, flesh and light, clashed head-on, a collision of extremes, everything annihilated, only a silent but massive shock, reverberating shock to all.

“Netherworld Venerable!”

“Six Paths of Reincarnation!”

“Golden Immortal Daoist Body!”

Viewing this terrifying clash that broke the limits of Extreme Dao, emitting great Dao forces, not just the bystanders outside the forbidden zone, even Manjusri and other Earth Immortals from the Upper Realm were visibly terrified.

Being Earth Immortals of the Upper Realm and at the high ranks of their paths, they knew some secrets, even hearing from their own Taoist Masters about that great battle years ago, where the leaders of the Five Religions and Ten Directions Celestial Immortals shattered the Netherworld.

As one of the six Sect Hierarchs of the Upper Realm, that supreme leader of the Netherworld Sect had a very stable position back then, and had it not been for his immense ambition to annihilate all beings to achieve his own Dao, leading to a united assault by the Ten Directions, his fall would have been impossible.

Daring such a plan, he naturally had his reliance, and made vast preparations; rumors even suggested that he had gained the mechanism of Golden Immortality, thus harmonizing with heaven and earth, even integrating the Six Paths of Reincarnation into his body, forging an unparalleled Golden Immortal Daoist Body.

With this Golden Immortal Daoist Body, within the Nether River Blood Sea, he battled solo against the leaders of the Five Religions, the Ten Directions Celestial Immortals, and major Dao lineages, waging war for thousands of years, shattering heavens and earth, countless Immortals, Buddhas, and Divine Beings fell, before finally being defeated by the joint forces of the Five Religion leaders.

But merely defeated, not fully annihilated; instead, at the last moment, he took the Nether River Blood Sea and the residual power of the Six Paths, plummeting into the Lower Realm, becoming the root source of disaster in Divine Land.

This shows the terror of the “Golden Immortal Daoist Body” which, even without truly reaching the immortal and undying realm of Golden Immortal, is merely a description, an abstraction, but still beyond the limits of Heavenly Immortals. If not for the leaders of the Five Religions also possessing epochal abilities, able to transcend heavenly limits, he might not have been defeated in that battle.

Now…

“Boom!!!”

The forces clashed again, the great Dao forces collided; though only partially reaching the realm of Heavenly Immortal, the pinnacle of Dao, it still shook heaven and earth.

That giant hand, disregarding injuries, bravely contended with the Five-Colored Divine Sword, each strike resonating with the Dao, even manifesting various phenomena, all reflecting scenes of hell.

Stirring up trouble, slandering people, entering Tongue Plucking Hell, suffering the punishment of tongue plucking!

Enticing evil desires, corrupt clandestine affairs, entering Scissor Hell, enduring the punishment of finger cutting!

Dividing kith and kin, instigating between friends, entering Iron Tree Hell, suffering the Iron Tree punishment.

There’s also Mirror Hell, Steamer Hell, Copper Pillar Hell, Knife Mountain Hell, Sea of Fire Hell…

Hell, hell, Infinite Hell, enduring infinite torture!

This is Karma, this is retribution, this is the cycle of life and death, the turning of heaven and earth, part of Heavenly Dao and indeed the Heavenly Dao!

Such a hand, striking forth, scenes of Infinite Hell merging into a divine tree, melding with that giant hand as if the operation of Heavenly Dao, drawing the opponent into hell, to endure endless punishment.

“Hell Dao!”

Seeing this scene, Manjusri and other Earth Immortals of the Upper Realm were even more alarmed.

It’s said that Netherworld Venerable transcended the common, dazzling ancient and present, forging six Heavenly Immortal Daoist Soldiers with his own power and with these six soldiers harmonized with heaven and earth, integrated the Six Paths, creating a near Golden Immortal Dao weaponry, that is the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

Initially, he fused these Daoist Soldiers into his own body, forging a Golden Immortal Daoist Body, bearing the Power of Reincarnation, truly embodying undying and indestructible; even the concerted efforts of Ten Directions Celestial Immortals found it difficult to annihilate him. Were it not for the ultimate moment when the leaders of the Five Religions sacrificed to sever his connection with Heavenly Dao and shattered both the Six Paths of Reincarnation and Golden Immortal Daoist Body, he could have fought until the end of the cosmos.

After plummeting into Divine Land, the Six Paths of Reincarnation fragmented, forming these Six Forbidden Zones, each zone burying part of his Daoist Body and a Daoist Soldier.

Like this Hell Dao, it’s one of his arms merged with the Hell Dao Soldier; even if the Dao wounds left by the leaders of the Five Religions haven’t healed, he could still wield the power of a Heavenly Immortal with this Daoist Soldier, easily slaying Earth Immortals. Even among the peak powerhouses of Earth Immortals, like the Yin Yang Emperor, he could suppress with this power alone, turning them into Yin Heaven Protectors.

If pushed to the brink, staking this arm and this Daoist Soldier, he could momentarily unleash the full power of a Heavenly Immortal, not just a fraction, not just a bit, but the complete power of a Heavenly Immortal!
