Eternal Emperor's Path to Ascension-Chapter 286: True Power Of A Dharma Treasure

"System, what are Dharma Treasures?"

Tian Yongheng couldn't help but ask as the clone handed him the Primal Dao Sword, now exuding unparalleled might and a supreme presence.

[Dharma Treasures are more powerful versions of Dharma Artifacts. The Strongest Dharma Artifact can at most reach Rank-10, which is equivalent to the Half Immortal Realm. But Dharma Treasures are used by Immortals. Dharma Treasures are divided into multiple grades, with each grade being further divided into 3 ranks at first, Low-Rank, Mid-Rank, and High-Rank. Spiritual Grade Dharma Treasures are the lowest grade Dharma Treasures, and a Spiritual Grade Low-Rank Dharma Treasures has the power of the Vagrant Immortal Realm.]

Hearing the system's explanation and grasping the hilt of the Primal Dao Sword, Tian Yongheng wanted to laugh out loud and proclaim himself invincible, but he quickly restrained his thoughts. This didn't align with his original intention to survive.

Even if he wanted to do that, he couldn't anyways because of the impassive facial expression curse on him that even he at the Immortal Ascension Realm couldn't lift.

Doesn't this mean that I can be fearless even in the face of Vagrant Immortals? Can't I just go and insta-kill the Demon God with this?

As soon as this thought appeared, Tian Yongheng quickly dismissed it.

Too dangerous.

He had almost forgotten that cultivation base was the foundation of everything. If his cultivation base was too low, he couldn't even bring the Primal Dao Sword to its full power.

Shaking his head, he returned to his original position in the cave abode.

He had long since stabilized his cultivation base and was refining the various Dharma Artifacts he had yet to refine.

Now, he was at his peak strength, and with the Primal Dao Sword in his hand, he felt extremely confident.

Next was to start a Simulation Battle Trial, of course.

In an instant, the scenery around him changed and he reappeared in the vast fields of the simulated world.

Once again, the Sword Venerable in the Early Stage of Vagrant Immortal Realm appeared in front of him.

However, this time, the sense of oppression Tian Yongheng previously felt when facing the Sword Venerable was reduced, just a tiny bit, like one hundredth, but it definitely reduced.

And by gripping the Primal Dao Sword, it instantly reduced by a fifth.

The remaining oppression was a natural realm suppression. His realm was still too low. He believed that if he just reached the Grand Perfection of Immortal Ascension Realm, this oppressive feeling of threat would be reduced significantly.

At that moment, without wasting any more time, Tian Yongheng repeated what he had been doing countless times in the previous simulations against the Sword Venerable and used the fastest void teleportation he could muster up to teleport right behind him.

Then, he raised the Primal Dao Sword and covered it in the Supreme Sword Intent in an instant.

An instant for a cultivator of his calibre was comparable to thousands of instants for mortals. He operated on the scale of milliseconds, if not even less than that.

Seeing this, the Sword Venerable instantly felt a fatal threat from Tian Yongheng and split out a Sword Qi before covering himself in a barrier of Divine Energy, the latter of which only Immortals could use, a higher form of Spiritual Energy refined by Immortal Qi.

Seeing the terrifically powerful Sword Qi made from Sword Intent and Divine Energy approaching him, Tian Yongheng didn't hesitate and swung the Primal Dao Sword horizontally with full force.

*Swoosh!*

*Whoom!*

A gale swept across the entire simulated world for hundreds of thousands of miles, imbued with supremely powerful Sword Intent as it directly cut open the Sword Qi rushing towards Tian Yongheng.

It didn't stop there and went on towards the Sword Venerable, it's power not diminishing in the slightest!

The Sword Venerable began to frantically pour his Divine Energy into the barrier, throwing out countless defensive Rank-10 Dharma Artifacts, but obviously, it was all useless.

As soon as the Primal Dao Sword's Sword Qi reached a ten meter range of the Sword Venerable, all his Dharma Artifacts cracked and the Divine Energy collapsed.

*Boom!*

With a loud boom, the surrounding hundreds of thousands of miles shattered instantly, destroying the simulated Sword Venerable's body and soul at the same time.

Even Tian Yongheng, despite not being targeted and even somewhat protected by the Primal Dao Sword, was heavily injured in that attack.

It hadn't even been a second since it began.

The simulation ended.

Tian Yongheng looked down at the Primal Dao Sword resting on his lap, light flashing through his eyes.

"So this is a... Dharma Treasure."

He now deeply understood why the strength of Immortal Cultivators was not solely reliant on cultivation base. It was the foundation, but this foundation could unleash even more horrifying power if it held a powerful external force.

Now, Tian Yongheng's confidence in facing the Archaic Forbidden Demon God had reached an unprecedented height.

He just had to control the Primal Dao Sword's power so that it doesn't injure him, and everything will be good after that.

Immediately, he once again entered the simulation, wanting to train his control this time.

...

Pristine Waters, Isle of Heavenly Demons.

Just below the ozone layer, huge figures clashed with eachother, one red and one purple, exuding terrifying aura as the void rippled and the heavenly rules trembled with their every move.

The two Dharma Avatars moved swiftly, teleporting from one place to another as they fought continously, not wanting to give the other party a chance to rest.

However, at this moment, Hong Xuanchen had a somewhat pale face in the Dharma Avatar.

This was the longest he had ever fought anyone. Most of his battles ended in hours at most.

Although his Body Cultivation was on the same level as Tian Yun's Sword Cultivation, and their cultivation bases was also nearly equivalent to eachother's, Hong Xuanchen still fell a little short.

If he could cultivate in the time he had been fighting, he was sure that he could have really reached the same level as Tian Yun in terms of cultivation base as well. However, now he didn't have that chance.

Fighting for so long, he had expended too much Spiritual Energy at the beginning, and now he was running low on it.

Although he could replenish his Spiritual Energy in an instant just with a thought with the many treasures and medicines resting inside of his Sea of Consciousness, Tian Yun didn't even give him time to think about anything other than protecting himself in the past 18 years of fighting!

Hong Xuanchen's Dharma Avatar was slowly dimming, and it won't be long before he would be unable to maintain it.

Tian Yun also realized this and immediately increased his pace of attacks as he stopped holding back all at once.

Terrifying Sword Intent and Spiritual Energy gathered together, slowly forming a long Sword above his head as he continued to bombard Hong Xuanchen with a flurry of attacks, not giving the other party even time to think about anything else.

As days and months passed, the Sword Intent and Spiritual Energy became more and more intense, and the moment Hong Xuanchen sensed the extreme Sword Qi gathering above Tian Yun, it was already too late.

The next instance, the Sword Qi directly fell down, like a divine sword raining down punishment from the depths of heaven.

The Primordial Sword of Judgement!

*Boom!*

A huge explosion shook the sky for over a hundred thousand miles, the impact shaking the ozone layer before it eventually subsided.

A figure fell from the sky, surrounded by a red Dharma Avatar flickering continously, about to dissipate at any moment.

From that far away, not even Half Immortals could see who won or lost, and they, regardless of who's side they were on, rushed towards the falling figure.

This included the top tier Half Immortals in the current world, such as the Thundercloud Empress, Shi Qingyuan, the ancestor level figures from all the major factions etc.

The figure of Hong Xuanchen directly crashed into a mountain on the Isle of Heavenly Demons, sinking everything around him into a hundred mile deep pit.

Fortunately, as a Body Cultivator, his body was extremely resistant. Although the air pressure from falling from that height was nothing to Half Immortals such as them, he would still be even more injured from the height of the fall if he wasn't a Body Cultivator.

Countless cultivators, both righteous and demonic, those of the Demon Race or from the Upper Realm, all rushed towards him at this moment, and even the war of the high level figures in the sky stopped for a brief moment.

Wang Daoyun, Lin Xiaoxiao, Jiang Chengxuan and the rest were also here.

Seeing the commotion, Lu Qingfeng, who knew that he wasn't powerful enough to participate, sent a message to Wei Yusheng to keep an eye on things. Mo Yuxin and the rest remained with him.

The other geniuses also rushed over, wanting to see the outcome of this great battle.

Zhu Dong, the Sovereign of Storms, Tang Ruhua and the others also arrived one by one.

Tian Chen also arrived with his people, including Qin Ninguang inside of the flying ship.

Even Yao Qiuyue, escorted by her Dao Protector of the Half Immortal Realm, arrived at the scene, standing by her master, Shi Qingyuan's side.

At this moment, all of these people, each one somehow linked to one another through the threads of fate, was gathered together in one place.
