Chapter 217: The Fall of the Dao

Heavenly Wall Divine Kingdom, on Yuquan Mountain

Lin Batian once again approached Chen Zheng for a fight. It was uncertain how many times Lin Batian had fought with Chen Zheng in the past ten years. Whenever he couldn’t win, he would seek help from Formation Spirit and rest for a while before continuing the fight.

"Lin Batian, I swear I won’t consider myself human if I don’t kill you today."

Chen Zheng was completely furious, filled with a strong desire to kill. For over a decade, Lin Batian had been irritating him like a fly, constantly depleting the resources in his storage bag. Now, his storage bag was almost empty. If he didn’t kill Lin Batian today, he would only grow weaker in the future.

"Alright, Chen Zheng, today we shall determine life and death. Whoever retreats is not a true man."

"Then don’t let the Formation Spirit help you. Let’s have a fair fight."

"Hmph, it’s my ability to call upon the Formation Spirit for help. If you have the ability, then come on."

"Prepare to die!"

"Release the dharma body!"

Lin Batian took the lead in transforming into a dharma body. This meant he was ready to fight desperately. One should know that in the Divine Kingdom, every bit of spiritual energy mattered. They had fought countless times before without summoning their dharma bodies.

"Tao Achieving"

Chen Zheng shouted angrily, summoning his dharma body. However, his dharma body was different from Lin Batian’s. During the Tao Achieving period, it merged with traces of the Heavenly Way, making his illusionary dharma body as solid as reality.

"Secret technique, three heads and six arms."

With a furious roar, Chen Zheng’s dharma body transformed once again, taking the form of a demonic image with three heads and six arms.

"Slaying God Spear"

Lin Batian, lacking the ability of the three heads and six arms, still wielded a long spear with his dharma body. The spear turned into a dragon as he and his spear attacked Chen Zheng.

"Get out of here!"

Amidst the battle, chains formed and wrapped around Chen Zheng. With a loud explosive shout, Chen Zheng shattered the chains.

"Boom!"

The Formation Spirit once again activated the power of the formation, causing countless thunderbolts to appear in the sky.

"Give me space."

With one hand raised, Chen Zheng held his sword high, and a surge of powerful energy erupted. The thunder in the sky shattered before it even struck the ground.

This is the might of Tao Achieving. Once unleashed, even the ruler of this realm would find it difficult to stand against it.

"Li Yuncheng, if you don’t fight with all your might now, it will be too late. Once the four major families from the outside world find the treasure and surround us, what will you do?"

Lin Batian shouted loudly. He was no match for Chen Zheng, only at the level of Soul Changing. After just a dozen moves, his spiritual body showed signs of collapsing.

Formation Spirit Li Yuncheng fell silent for a moment, then numerous rays of light appeared in the sky. These rays of light scattered and fell upon every corner of the Divine Kingdom. Soon after, 108 mountains within the Divine Kingdom began to radiate brilliance.

Li Yuncheng transformed into a Formation Spirit, relying on the 108 spiritual veins within the Divine Kingdom. At this moment, he exerted all his strength and various formations began to reveal themselves.

"Li descendants, head towards the light circles in different areas to seek refuge and protect your lives."

Li Yuncheng’s voice echoed throughout the Divine Kingdom. Various light circles floated above the spiritual mountains, immensely large, providing shelter for the people of the Divine Kingdom.

"The ancestors have shown their power."

Inside the palace of Jingdu City, there was a cultivator roaring in anger. The palace was the only place in the Divine Kingdom that had spiritual energy even in normal times. It always had cultivators present, who could suppress all ordinary people under the Li family’s rule. Of course, the condition was that cultivators who arrived in the Divine Kingdom could not intervene.

At this moment, Li Yuncheng appeared. Those cultivators immediately activated the formation in Jingdu City, protecting it first. Jingdu City held the essence of the Li family, so by safeguarding Jingdu City, they were also safeguarding the foundation of the Li family.

"Leader, it’s time to fight for our lives."

In the outer city, Lin Jiang said to Zhou Huaiying.

"Take action, distribute the elixirs, break through the spiritual mountains in various places, and seize the spiritual mountains."

Zhou Huaiying gritted his teeth and took out a storage bag. A wisp of spiritual energy overflowed as he opened it, revealing various elixirs and spirit stones inside. They had all been accumulated over the years.

"Follow me out of the city."

Zhou Huaiying distributed the elixirs and spirit stones to the crowd, then broke the formation of Jingdu City with a single sword. Dozens of cultivators from the Immortal Alliance streamed out.

"Thief"

A furious roar echoed in the sky. Li Yuncheng became angry and summoned countless lightning bolts to strike down on Zhou Huaiying, Lin Jiang, and others.

"Disperse and seize territory for the rebel army."

Zhou Huaiying laughed loudly and then soared into the sky. He was also a skilled warrior, a formidable Void Achieving cultivator, not fearing the lightning bolts.

Lin Jiang and the others flew out and headed towards different places. Lin Jiang chose the closer Yuquan Mountain. At this time, countless people from outside Jingdu City rushed towards Yuquan Mountain, but Lin Jiang arrived earlier.

"Immortal Alliance troops, gain control of the situation, capture all the Li family descendants and Divine Kingdom nobles."

Lin Jiang roared angrily, then killed the Divine Kingdom Martial Arts Master among the crowd. Killing them would definitely not be wrong since ordinary people didn’t have such powerful skills.

Li Yuncheng became furious upon seeing this, but he couldn’t divide his attention now. Chen Zheng was already fighting desperately. If he couldn’t give his all, he could only wait for Lin Batian’s death, and he would be trapped from both sides.

The Dutian Formation operated at full power, and Chen Zheng felt immense pressure. The force of the formation enveloped his entire body, weighing him down like a mountain. Even his dharma body moved sluggishly. Meanwhile, Li Yuncheng unleashed a myriad of attack techniques that swept towards him, forcing him to have to divide his attention.

Li Yuncheng took action, and Lin Batian’s pressure suddenly lightened. He became more courageous and continued to act. With a long spear, he fought with Chen Zheng fiercely, as if in a storm.

"Friend Zhou, please lend me a hand. I am a descendant of the ancient Green Emperor. I am willing to repay your kindness, friend Zhou. Chen Zheng is willing to make a solemn oath."

"Zhou Huaiying, if you dare to help him, today will be your end. The four major families outside the battle formation are supporting Chen Zheng. If I lose, Li Yuncheng will definitely self-destruct, and you won’t be able to escape."

"Friend Zhou, don’t believe him…"

"Zhou Huaiying····"

Chen Zheng and Lin Batian started to win over Zhou Huaiying. Zhou Huaiying had strong abilities and was even stronger than Lin Batian. No matter which side he joined, it would be a disaster for the other side.

"You fight amongst yourselves, what does it have to do with me?"

Zhou Huaiying smiled faintly. You can fight your battle, and I’ll watch mine. What does it have to do with him?

Zhou Huaiying had a few loyal followers by his side, and they agreed wholeheartedly. You can fight your battle, just leave us alone. We are just here to watch the show.

Chen Zheng saw this and cursed in his heart. Another group of bad people, clearly wanting to take advantage of him and Lin Batian. His fear grew even stronger.

Lin Batian, on the other hand, didn’t care at all. He had already started fighting with all his might, using the Lin family’s ultimate technique, the Slaying God Spear, to its full extent. The Overlord Spear he had used before was just a simplified version of the Slaying God Spear. Now that his true identity was exposed, Lin Batian didn’t need to hide anymore and could unleash his full power.

Lin Batian unleashed the Slaying God Spear with perfection. The spear’s tip gleamed with a deadly black aura, displaying a fighting strength far beyond any other Soul Changing technique. It could even rival the Void Achieving level.

"Imprint the world."

Seeing Lin Batian fighting so fiercely, Chen Zheng also felt overwhelmed. The Formation Spirit’s influence on him was too great, rapidly depleting his spiritual power. In an instant, he made up his mind to fight with all his strength.

Chen Zheng extended one arm from his six-armed form and threw out a precious seal. Spiritual power surged into the seal, instantly magnifying it hundreds of times. It descended from the sky, aiming to kill Lin Batian with one strike.

"Boom!"

The long spear and the precious seal collided in mid-air. The immense force sent Lin Batian flying, tumbling for dozens of miles before crashing onto an unknown mountain peak.

Chen Zheng was about to chase after him when the Formation Spirit revealed its murderous intent. Countless light swords appeared from all directions, flying towards Chen Zheng. He raised his hand and shattered the light swords, but they kept coming wave after wave.

After several waves of light swords were destroyed, Chen Zheng wanted to fight again but felt very weak. He realized that his spiritual power was running low. He connected with his storage bag through his spiritual consciousness, only to find that the medicine and spirit stones were already empty. His abundant wealth had been depleted at this moment.

"Hahaha…"

Lin Batian’s laughter came from the mountains, as he flew over.

"Chen Zheng, you’re so arrogant. Let’s see how arrogant you can be."

"Hmph."

"Today is your death day."

"The manifestation of the Great Dao."

Chen Zheng didn’t waste any words and immediately went all out. His dharma body melted away, and his whole body transformed into a shining sword, radiating endless murderous intent.

"Lin Batian, he’s willing to risk his life. I can’t control him anymore."

Formation Spirit Li Yuncheng’s voice came, very scared. Chen Zheng’s move was now able to threaten his existence.

"I didn’t expect anything from you."

"Sagittarius Bow"

"I’m willing to exchange five hundred years of my lifespan for your life, Chen Zheng."

Lin Batian snorted, and he took out a giant bow. The spear in his hand turned into an arrow, placed on the giant bow. Lin Batian activated a secret technique, consuming five hundred years of his lifespan to gain maximum power.

"Boom"

The long sword and spear collided in mid-air, and a black vortex expanded in all directions. At this moment, the Formation Spirit had already released its suppression on Chen Zheng and was fully protecting the many spiritual mountains of the Divine Kingdom. Zhou Huaiying and the others had also retreated far away; they were more clever than anyone else.

Lin Batian and Chen Zheng appeared at the same time, both lying in a huge crater. Their battle field, which was originally a mountain range, had now become a giant pit.

Lin Batian struggled to get up from the ground, his hands trembling. He nervously stuffed medicine into his mouth. Meanwhile, Chen Zheng was coughing up blood in large amounts. His injuries were too severe, and there was no spiritual energy to replenish him. With resentment in his eyes, he took the medicine, unable to recover fully.

"Li Yuncheng, I can’t move anymore, kill him."

Lin Batian shouted loudly, and Li Yuncheng suddenly appeared in front of both of them.

"Why are you just standing there?"

"You’ve broken the Heavenly Wall."

Li Yuncheng pointed to the sky, and cracks appeared in the sky. His Dutian Formation almost couldn’t withstand it.

"What happened next?"

"Death."

Li Yuncheng pointed his finger and a spiritual attack shot towards Chen Zheng. He couldn’t dodge it, and watched helplessly as it shattered his physical body and Nascent Soul.

With infinite unwillingness, Chen Zheng fell.

At the moment when Chen Zheng’s liveliness disappeared, countless stars shone down. These were the embodiment of Chen Zheng’s melody of the Tao. The Tao Achieving period is about understanding the great Tao and returning to nature after death.

Lin Batian’s body instantly vanished, rushing towards those melodies of the Tao. Li Yuncheng’s expression changed, and he knew these melodies were also very important to him. In an instant, numerous light swords followed closely behind Lin Batian, aiming at him.
