Chapter 696: Xiang Ying

The Heavenly Path can replicate Dao artifacts, but the first ten stages serve as trials and won’t replicate such extraordinary things as Dao artifacts.

Everything else will be synchronized and replicated.

Even the Rebirth Book is the same.

This was a conclusion Yun Ye reached after glimpsing his past self while on the Heavenly Path. However, the replicated Rebirth Book on the Heavenly Path functions like a computer program; it only works within the computer and cannot interfere with reality.

If the Heavenly Path can duplicate the Rebirth Book, then naturally, it can replicate anything else as well.

As the young man stepped out, black energy enveloped him, transforming into a black robe, with black ribbons wrapped around his hands, extending into gloves that covered his arms. His expression was cold as he walked toward Shui Chonghuang, hidden within the black lightning.

"From the late Spiritual Law Era, at the dawn of the New Heaven Era, ‘Dao!’"

"The second Chief of the Tomorrow Society, embracing Yang Shi’s philosophy, comes to lead the Tomorrow Society and teach the secrets of Extreme Spiritual Law to everyone."

"He has cultivated many successors, giving rise to numerous Dao Artifact wielders, and executed the plans of his predecessors, annihilating Baishi Town, allowing the Tomorrow Dao artifacts to evolve. Ultimately, he fought to the death against the Luo Dynasty’s Dao Artifact wielders to ensure the retreat of living forces…"

Tian Jing, Yuexin, Qi Lian, and many other figures flashed by, and finally, Yun Ye unleashed a sword, his body turning to ash and fading away, ending the vision.

"A great disaster has descended, and lacking power, he borrows the strength of the disaster. This marks the initial hope of the Tomorrow Dao: a ruling Dao accumulated over numerous years can reach considerable levels, even in a small, remote place, at the weakest being the law realms, far too vast for a newborn force."

"In just two generations, they achieved a turnaround. The power of the great disaster indeed played a significant role; otherwise, it would be challenging for the second-generation Chief with poor talent and qualifications to reverse the disparities. If they continued to cultivate without a law realm inheritance, they would be cut off…"

"Look, fate is gathering!"

Shui Chonghuang gazed at his hands, revealing a smile. As a Spirit Law practitioner, he could clearly sense the vast fortune pouring in.

Desiring to meet the past Chiefs was not merely due to their legends or myths but because they represented a form of acknowledgment.

This acknowledgment could grant them immense fortune, allowing the effects of the entire Red Heaven to take place.

"The mandate of heaven has arrived!"

Dao raised his hand, and the dark power instantly spread, swallowing everything and shattering the space.

Eternal Silence!

"Double Fusion of the Unique Spiritual Law, still among the strongest! The second-generation Chief has already mastered this level of power, indeed a remarkable leap in development!"

"Without powerful Spiritual Law, how could one bridge the gap between realms? The span between each realm is too vast, making it incredibly difficult to battle across stages!"

"Indeed, our era has illustrated everything; weaker opponents cannot even gaze upon strong opponents. In the face of Open Heaven level Spiritual Law, any power becomes utterly powerless. Even if Spirit Law and Physical Law reach their fullest potential, they cannot compete."

"After all, no one can accomplish the Yin-Yang Cave Heaven; the requirements are too high…"

The Yin-Yang Cave Heaven is a concept that surpasses the Five Elements Cave Heaven.

But unfortunately, the Yin-Yang Cave Heaven pertains to Spirit Law and Physical Law, lying outside the interference range of Mystic Heaven True Immortal magic, making its completion difficulty incomparable.

"Heaven and Earth are being purified!"

Confronting Eternal Silence, Shui Chonghuang snapped his fingers, unleashing the Spirit Law he mastered.

Without any warning, the burning power of Eternal Silence around Shui Chonghuang was immediately erased, swiftly pushed back before Dao.

As a top-tier Spirit Law comparable to four-tier Spiritual Law, it naturally crushed opposition and directly defeated Dao, concluding the trials of the Heavenly Path’s Third Stage.

As the other three also defeated their opponents, the trials officially entered the Fourth Stage.

"Fourth Stage Heavenly Path, cultivation level ‘spiritual realm,’ talent ‘extraordinary,’ trial begins."

Starting from the Fourth Stage of the Heavenly Path, talent levels shoot up dramatically. "Extraordinary" is already equivalent to the level of the Qilin prodigies of Huangzhou in the past.

"Genious" at the Fifth Stage can fully stand at the pinnacle of Huangzhou, possibly ranking in the Dragon and Phoenix Rankings within the old Luo Dynasty territory.

"Ding dang…"

The sound of bells echoed.

A beautiful and enchanting young man stepped out, his ice-blue eyes shining, and a luxurious adornment on his forehead, seemingly a sealing object meant for himself.

His aura and strength surpassed the previous ones by a large margin; although he was only at the spiritual realm, it felt as if mountains and rivers lay prostrate beneath his feet.

Words and sounds began to manifest.

"At the dawn of the New Heaven Era, the practitioner, ‘Xiang Ying.’"

"One of the founders of the Tomorrow Dao."

"Xiang Ying? It’s actually him? This Shui Chonghuang indeed has ties with these prominent figures. Could it be due to his Shui family bloodline?"

The appearance of this young man surprised many cultivators.

The Celestial Empire was established two thousand years ago, and related history has been thoroughly examined. The first appearance of this individual shocked many people as well.

No one expected that the founding of the Tomorrow Society was not a coincidence but a venture taken in the darkness, creating this once-in-a-millennium opportunity!

"Born into a prestigious family, he inadvertently came into contact with the Tomorrow Dao. Longing for it, he later joined the Cloud Heavenly Spirit Sect, taken under the wing of a System Master."

"But this was a conspiracy; Xiang Ying was turned into a puppet by the System Master, and his soul suffered a flaw, preventing him from ever stepping into the Mystic Realm."

"Then, the two Spirit Sects waged war. At a critical moment, Xiang Ying intervened to counter the two Spirit Sects, aiming to bury many System Masters…"

Heavenly Phenomenon Barrage, Dao artifacts awakened, Xiang Ying raised his sword against the Cloud Heavenly Spirit Sect, and a flash of his desperate struggle appeared.

Finally, amidst the unwilling roar of the weary man, the power of the chaotic demons swallowed the masters of the two sects, and the scene ended.

"This act laid the foundation for the founding of the Tomorrow Society, providing a once-in-a-millennium opportunity for its rise in the future!"

"…"

Xiang Ying walked over with a smile, a great sun floating in the sky, covering the ancient battlefield with green grass, his actions starkly different from the previous figures.

A phenomenon! The great sun spanned across the sky!

"Qi! Heaven obeys my command!"

"Life Force! Power of the Body Covers All!"

Xiang Ying initiated numerous secret techniques, and the patterns of his Spiritual Roots spread from his forehead, instantly covering his entire body, and then erupted into an innate spiritual field!

Spiritual Roots revival!

Elevation of Spiritual Roots!

Burning Spiritual Roots!

Then…

"Boom!"

The spirit energy of heaven and earth was massively extracted, and invisible waves spread out.

Essence of Annihilation!

This is the essence that interferes with the power of the user’s Three Major Techniques, enough to gain slight resistance against the Mystic Realm in the spiritual realm!

"Strength is increasing quickly…"

Shui Chonghuang sensed that if this continued, he would soon face a rival who could match him. Who could it be?

His Spirit Law power surged; at the Fourth Stage, he also felt his power grow tremendously.

"Heaven and Earth are being purified!"

He used only one of his powers, but that single force was enough to confront Xiang Ying, even creating an overwhelming advantage.

With no choice left, Xiang Ying exerted all his strength, ramping up and activating the strongest Spiritual Law he knew.

"Eternal Silence!"

The dark power, enhanced by True Immortal magic, surged tremendously, enough to threaten the Mystic Realm, causing Shui Chonghuang to take it slightly more seriously as he aimed his palm at Xiang Ying…

"Heaven and Earth are being purified!"

This time, the power of purification acted directly within Xiang Ying’s body, the protection of the Three Major Techniques rendered ineffective, and an unknown force erupted inside him.

"Cough cough…"

Xiang Ying coughed up blood, continuously stepping back.

The phenomenon of the great sun faded, and his figure turned into white smoke and vanished.
