Chapter 380: Respect for Power

Star Qingluo was a System Master; although newly appointed, she was immensely powerful.

She realized that Yun Ye’s essence was exceptionally unique. It contained little spirit energy, yet its fundamental power was outrageously high, capable of crossing realms to take effect.

In practical terms, this attack had minimal impact on Mystic Realm cultivators; she could easily disregard it.

But…

What if it were against law realm cultivators?

This essence could be utilized by spirit realm cultivators, yet its power was so astounding that even peerless individuals had to be cautious.

No matter how one looked at it, such strength was beyond that of a spirit realm.

With his triple attribute fusion, she was puzzled by how Yun Ye completed the fusion rather than its power… Triple Attributes were inherently strong, not unfathomable.

Yet this essence was purely incomprehensible.

How could the mere characteristics of the spirit realm interfere with Mystic Law to a certain extent?

It was as if an ant suddenly jumped up and punched a bird, leaving one utterly baffled.

"Boom!"

Star Qingluo activated her Mystic Law, forcing a confrontation with the collapsed Ethereal Law. The clash of powers erupted continuously, and spatial cracks spread everywhere.

Even with countless enhancements to the Ethereal Law, it could not threaten Star Qingluo; the gap between their two realms was too vast. Moreover, Star Qingluo was no weaker opponent; she was among the top figures who had achieved Major Achievement in the Mystic Realm, her Mystic Law reaching the peak.

Yet Yun Ye indeed did not plan to threaten Star Qingluo with the Ethereal Law. A multitude of jade talismans scattered, and pure black energy surged into the sky, forming a cage.

Yun Ye was a user of the Ethereal Law, which itself was akin to Eternal Silence, powers that could complement each other.

In terms of attack power, Eternal Silence far surpassed the Ethereal Law.

The calculation for the Ethereal Law was 10 × 10 × 10 = 1000, while the formula for Eternal Silence was 100 × 100 = 10,000.

The difference between ordinary attribute fusion and unique extremely exceptional attribute fusion was enormous. As Yun Ye cast the jade talismans of Eternal Silence, the destructive capacity surged dramatically.

Especially because—this was the formation of Eternal Silence!

"Annihilate!"

Yun Ye pointed into the distance, and his power erupted completely. Combined with the Ethereal Law, it formed a lethal formation that caused the space to collapse.

Crash—

Everything was being swallowed by the collapsing space.

Though supported by the starry rainbow light, the space Star Qingluo could stand on was rapidly diminishing, about to be engulfed by the collapsing space.

Immediately after, Yun Ye struck with his sword, intending to eradicate Star Qingluo.

Yun Ye understood that trying to kill a System Master with only Spiritual Law was nearly impossible; they possessed countless abilities to neutralize such attempts. Only the Ming Rihui Sword had the unique capability to annihilate both concept and authority, an unavoidable lethal power.

"Dang!"

A bell chimed.

A bell-shaped Dao Artifact appeared above Star Qingluo, and numerous phantoms emerged. She drew upon the Dao Artifacts of all eleven System Masters of the Cloud Heavenly Spirit Sect, forming a National-level Dao Artifact!

The blue annihilation light was obstructed by numerous order chains and failed to take effect.

"That’s truly frightening, but I won’t fall here; the victor will undoubtedly be the Spirit Sect."

Star Qingluo smiled, her whole Feather Coat exploding with power. This power gathered on her arms, and then she raised her hand. A beam of light crashed through Eternal Silence, racing towards Yun Ye’s true form. Yun Ye blocked with his sword, the force of the true name continuously cutting down this energy. However, this power was relentless; even the concept of extermination could not wipe it out in an instant.

Yun Ye realized that it was the Dao Artifact that suppressed the power of tomorrow.

"Is it… the fusion of Dao Artifacts?"

The voice of Tomorrow echoed in Yun Ye’s heart. As he reflected on her thoughts and needs, he suddenly turned to the direction of Tomorrow City. Countless invincible beams of light descended, like giants hurling long spears; the entire earth was instantly tossed and destroyed.

Soon after, a more terrifying aura revived, engulfing the world in a silvery moonlight. The merciless silver-haired Celestial Maiden lifted the world in her hands.

Seven beams of light were shrouded and sealed away.

"Ah, ah, ah!"

"It’s impossible!"

"How can this be? There’s another inheritor! How could the heavens be so unfair? After a millennium of silence, why do we see this inheritance surfacing in the New Dao?!"

A System Master howled in despair, feeling an immense sense of injustice.

His power rapidly dwindled.

The six beams of light that matched his strength corresponded to other System Masters, and they were in the same situation, desperately unleashing their powers to fight against the silver-haired Celestial Maiden.

But it was completely ineffective; this was power far beyond the Mystic Realm, even surpassing True Immortal strength. Their persistence was only made possible by the Dao Artifact weakening their power.

"Is there a second inheritor??"

Star Qingluo’s smile faded as she quietly regarded Yun Ye, realizing why their core combat power had been so easily drawn away.

Was this a sign of fearlessness?

A chilling sensation began to spread swiftly.

"This is bad! Two True Immortal-level combatants, one on attack and one on defense. We have fallen into a trap; if so many System Masters fall, the fate of the two sects may very well end here!"

Star Qingluo could faintly see the destiny before her.

In this plan, although she had taken on the most dangerous task and had some discontent, she had to admit that the feasibility of the plan was indeed at its highest.

The so-called New Dao had only one super strong individual; as long as she held back this powerful being, the other System Masters could directly assault the main city, seize its inheritance, and destroy its Dao lineage.

Although afterward a lone Dao Artifact wielder would be very troublesome, as the sinner who robbed True Immortal magic, everyone would want to exterminate her. Whether it was the Dream Marsh Spirit Sect or the Luo Dynasty’s Pure World Holy Land, they would definitely launch full-scale attacks.

In the end, this person would surely fall!

And the reasons for their assault were very simple.

In this world, one must respect power.

True Immortal magic belonged to the celestial clans and carried a curse powerful enough to encompass the entire Red Heaven realm. This curse power might not be able to eliminate a strong cultivator.

However, the curse could become a symbol, a mark that everyone would rally to claim she must die.

The celestial clans proclaimed through the curse that this person had to be eliminated.

As for the consequences of not going all out to exterminate her…

What difference was there between the Luo Dynasty and an ant in the eyes of the celestial clans?

If news spread outside that someone held the True Immortal magic, and the celestial clans heard of it…

The three provinces would undoubtedly sink!

For the celestial clans, it didn’t matter who held the True Immortal magic; erasing that fact was what’s most important.

And what could be simpler than directly destroying everything?

Mistakenly killing a few ants was nothing in the eyes of the celestial clans.

The Luo Dynasty had previously eradicated Baishi Town to eliminate the New Dao theory; for the celestial clans, directly wiping out the three provinces would be equally easy.

Under such intimidation, if the Luo Dynasty prioritized survival above all, they would have no choice but to madly hunt down the New Dao Artifact wielder.

Star Qingluo believed that their plan was the one with the highest success rate. By uniting the powers of the two sects, there was no reason for failure.

However, reality was a different story.

A second inheritor of the New Dao had emerged, battling seven opponents with overwhelming power to suppress them all—an unexpected twist no one had anticipated.

Even more frightening was that both inheritors possessed Dao Artifacts and were steadfast in their path.

They understood the true meaning of the so-called path of tomorrow—unlike those who ruled the Dao System, these two inheritors embodied a determination to change the world, even at the cost of their own sacrifices. They would undoubtedly work together to erase these outdated paths, leaving no room for compromise!
