Chapter 699: Tiankai, Dual Blood of God and Monarch

Heat spread outward, burning from within.

Under the star, how small was Tiankai?

When such a dangerous object came crashing down, she instantly lost her composure, her pink hair flying wildly as powerful black Divine Power surged forth.

As a practitioner of law realms, Tiankai’s Divine Power was astonishingly vast, enveloping the area within a thousand miles, transforming it into her own domain.

With the quality of her Divine Power, ordinary stars could not harm her, but the star thrown by Shui Changdong was infused with immense magical power.

With this magical enhancement, the star became more than mere heat; it possessed higher-level conceptual power, making it difficult for practitioners to neutralize the threat easily.

“——”

The two forces clashed fiercely, yet there was almost no sound; Divine Power erased the star while the star resisted the Divine Power, resulting in a stalemate.

Evidently, Tiankai’s strength was impressive; the first strike from the Divine Monarch did not succeed and only drained some of her Divine Power.

Everyone knew that the Divine Monarch was very strong, but just how strong was he?

Many lacked a clear understanding, only vaguely knowing that despite the Celestial Empire’s two-thousand-year history, not one practitioner had surpassed the Divine Monarch, who seemed to stand at the pinnacle, holding the title of the strongest. But what was the gap between the strongest and the second?

Throughout these two thousand years, many invincible geniuses often matched the Divine Monarch, having the potential to achieve similar greatness. It seemed that there was hope for the world to catch up with the Divine Monarch; he was not entirely unreachable.

Because of this, the majority of the public did not find it particularly unbelievable that Tiankai did not fall immediately, merely feeling…

Another Super Genius might be emerging, one who could perhaps rival the Divine Monarch in her youth?

Did she possess the strength to counter that Divine Monarch?

Countless scholars and Powerful Figures entered analysis mode because of this.

Wherever there is existence, there is reason; Tiankai faced the Divine Monarch with only two possibilities.

Either she possessed the power to counter the Divine Monarch, or the Heavenly Path was mistaken, and almost everyone chose the former.

The Heavenly Path is the manifestation of rules; the possibility of an error is zero.

Even if there were a mistake, it would not be of a conventional nature but rather a flaw in the mechanism. The Heavenly Path is set by humans, so it is normal for there to be defects.

"The known conditions are that the Mystic Realm practitioners appearing in the Heavenly Path are at most only newly entering the Mystic Realm. When calculated against the Divine Monarch, that means he has only begun to open his Cave Heaven! While the Cave Techniques are indeed invincible, regardless of the law, invincibility lies in its growth. For a practitioner of regular law realms in the Mystic Realm, a thirtyfold increase in power at each small realm is astonishing, eventually leading to an increase of twenty million times!"

"And Cave Heaven far exceeds such growth; each small realm can multiply by ten thousand, allowing a True Realm to sweep through Red Heaven! If it is merely a newly entered Master of Heaven’s Cavern, even with an increase of millions, the apparent data may not even match a perfected Mystic Realm being!"

"A Divine Monarch who has only just opened Heaven isn’t too strong; it’s still possible to defeat him as long as one equally masters the method of Opening Heaven and Earth! Tiankai can face the Divine Monarch because she has already grasped the Power of Opening Heaven and Earth within the law realms, reaching the level of opening heaven in the Mystic Realm!"

Someone cited the Five Elements Cave Heaven as a compelling example.

Under normal fusion, the Fusion of the Five Elements only achieves a maximum enhancement of one hundred thousand times, but once the Five Elements Cave Heaven is opened, the outcome becomes entirely different. Each small realm can achieve enhancements reaching millions, or even billions, far surpassing the ten-thousand-fold foundation of the Fusion of the Five Elements.

However, even so, from a theoretical perspective, the moment of opening the Cave Heaven only represents a boost of a major realm, making it difficult to leap multiple realms.

If there are practitioners who can also open Heaven and Earth, that places them on the same starting line, making opposition feasible.

In response, many practitioners who truly understood the Cave Techniques scoffed.

"You! Are! Full! Of! It!"

"If Cave Techniques were merely about supposed multipliers, then why could the ancient Monarch of the God Destruction Clan kill twenty-one Honored Beings after only beginning to open the Five Elements Cave Heaven?"

"Could you explain that?"

“Cave Heaven cannot be measured by mere multipliers; the truly powerful force is the Power of Opening Heaven and Earth! This power may vary based on the strength of the materials used and the quality of magical power, but fundamentally, it is the highest form of power, which is why it can sweep across the world!”

“It can be said that once the Power of Opening Heaven and Earth is completed, even if it is just a Mystic Realm cultivator, their strength will instantly leap to the level of an Honored Being! And the exaggerated increases of a Mystic Realm cultivator, the so-called thirty-fold starting point, and millions at completion, are simply nonsense; they cannot be compared to the Cave Techniques!”

“No matter how many billions of times a Mystic Realm could increase, that only changes the total amount of magical power, not the strength. No matter how much magical power is stacked, the power remains invincible and cannot be defeated!”

“Moreover, when it comes to counting multipliers, once the Heavenly Stem Cave Heaven is opened, it achieves a trillion-fold enhancement, directly aiming at the Honored Position, making it impossible for practitioners below this to contend!”

“Even if they have mastered the Cave Techniques, they must wield the Ten Heavenly Arts to stand against the Divine Monarch! The gap between Cave Heavens can only be erased when a Cave Heaven reaches major achievement, solidifying the Power of Rules. Until then, the more attributes integrated, the stronger the power. The Ten Heavenly Arts are theoretically much stronger than the Yin-Yang Cave Heaven in its early stages, capable of sweeping through the Red Heaven in the True Realm is no joke!”

“That person above suggested redoing themselves; there’s no need to embarrass themselves here!”

Someone posted a long message, boringly criticizing and fully exerting themselves to mock the ignorant.

Under normal circumstances, these great cultivators would rarely argue, but when it came to the strength of the Divine Monarch, they could hardly contain themselves.

They had to argue who was superior!

This was faith, not to be tarnished!

Among them, He Shiguang frequently liked the posts, thinking, indeed, how could the Divine Monarch be so weak? What ignorance! This was a being capable of sweeping through the Red Heaven in the True Realm; a normal cultivator, even when opening the Cave Heaven, would generally not be able to achieve this!

The most critical point was the Red Heaven True Immortal Law; the Divine Monarch’s Cave Heaven differed from others primarily because his power was never exhausted!

Normal cultivators had to conserve their Cave Power, but the Divine Monarch could use the Great Annihilation without risking damage to his Cave Heaven; that was how overbearing he was.

“You’re the one talking nonsense! Am I not knowledgeable? Could it be that Tiankai has no chance of mastering the same powerful Cave Techniques? The Red Heaven realm is home to practitioners who have also mastered the Ten Heavenly Arts, and there are other Cave Techniques that, in their early stages, are equivalent to the Ten Heavenly Arts. Didn’t that Dream Princess establish the corresponding Twelve Earthly Branches?!”

The online argument became endless, with neither side able to convince the other.

As the first probing strike concluded, the battle between Tiankai and Shui Changdong officially began.

“Ten Heavenly Arts: Transforming the Heavenly World Technique!”

Shui Changdong unleashed the various mysteries derived from the Power of Opening Heaven and Earth. This was a spatial technique capable of overturning heaven and earth.

If used to traverse distances, one step could cross continents; if used for attack, it could instantaneously cut the enemy apart, leaving them with no place to be buried.

Such a spatial technique formed by the Power of Opening Heaven and Earth could only be resisted by equal power; all other forms of defense were meaningless.

“I will defeat you, Shui Changdong; this was agreed upon! The True Spirit also belongs to the Celestial Empire, and all rights are equal!”

Faced with this move, Tiankai became even more serious. She participated in the Trials of the Heavenly Path for her own purpose, so she had no intention of hiding her true form. Her fluffy ears immediately perked up, and her Pure Black magical power instantly turned bright red, carrying a foreboding yet extremely pure aura.

A phantom of a Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox sprang forth from her body, fiercely tearing apart the Transforming the Heavenly World Technique, creating a force to counter Shui Changdong!

This scene sparked countless gasps of shock: “Tiankai is a True Spirit? What a joke! A monster participating in the Trials of the Heavenly Path to seize our human race’s fortunes?!”

“The Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox! She is a descendant of the Dream Princess?”

“No! That aura is so ominous, not a pure Celestial Fox bloodline; it’s mixed with something else, and it’s a higher existence!”

He Shiguang stopped his high-speed scrolling, his face growing serious. This sensation felt somewhat familiar, but he couldn’t recall it immediately…

“The bloodline of the World God!”

Deep within the Heavenly Path, Red Heaven sat on the palace throne, murmuring to herself.

The layout of her palace resembled that of Scarlet Red.

There was no doubt that Scarlet Red mimicked Red Heaven; in her youth, she had been summoned by Red Heaven in this palace, thus deeply influenced by its style.
