Chapter 1832: Chapter 1851: The Invincible Momentum
"Heavenly Defying Realm?"
Eternal Shadow murmured in a trance, appearing utterly dejected, because he did not understand what kind of level Ye Xuan referred to as the Heavenly Defying Realm, a level he did not even qualify to glimpse.
"Heavenly Punishment and Earthly Destruction, Supreme of All Laws, Invincible in the World, Heaven and Earth are hard to deceive, this is what is called the Heavenly Defying Realm."
Boom!
Ye Xuan spoke softly, yet his voice reverberated throughout Heaven and Earth, causing even the laws pervading Heaven and Earth to retreat, and the so-called Spiritual Energy to explode with thunderous roar.
What is invincible!
At this moment, Ye Xuan was invincible!
He did not display any cultivation from the Heavenly Defying Realm, merely stood there, yet all things in the world dimmed, with only him standing as the most dazzling sole existence.
This was a kind of ’presence,’ an invincible ’presence,’ and since the strongest Three Great Eras, Ye Xuan was the first to become an existence of the Heavenly Defying Realm.
"You... you... you...?"
Staring at the invincible presence surrounding Ye Xuan, Eternal Shadow trembled, his wounded and weakened body wanting to rise, but under the pressure of Ye Xuan’s invincible presence, his knees wouldn’t obey.
"Ah!" freewēbnoveℓ.com
Stimulated by Ye Xuan’s invincible magnitude, Eternal Shadow roared in unwillingness, supporting his arms as he tried to stand, for he wished not to humbly yield before Ye Xuan.
Boom!
The earth shook violently, terrible fissures appearing beneath his feet, his arms exposed veins as he supported himself on the ground, his feet sunk deep into the earth, attempting to stand upright with all his cultivation.
Ye Xuan merely watched Eternal Shadow calmly, not exerting any pressure on him, nor using even a trace of cultivation.
Eternal Shadow was unable to stand up for he couldn’t overcome the barrier within his heart, as this was a difference in the level of existence.
Like a tiger blocking a sheep’s path, the sheep innately fears the tiger; that is the suppression of existence levels.
At this moment, Ye Xuan was the tiger, and Eternal Shadow was the lamb. Before the tiger, how could the lamb resist?
"I don’t believe it!"
Eternal Shadow roared in trembled defiance, his whole body emitting death light exploding horrifically, the surrounding void shattered inch by inch, and the ground beneath sinking with a crash.
His spine ceased its motion, arms lifted from the ground, while his bent knees produced resounding cracks, his entire being striving to stand.
Thud!
Suddenly, a muffled sound echoed, Eternal Shadow ultimately failed to rise before Ye Xuan, his knees buckling, kneeling on the ground, losing his last shred of dignity, left only with humiliation and endless unwillingness.
Kneeling!
The proud Eternal Shadow finally knelt.
He did not want to kneel, even in death, he could not bow before Ye Xuan.
But the difference in existence level forced him to kneel; he was unable to truly stand before Ye Xuan.
"Once, you destroyed my Heavenly Gate, dishonored me, Ye Xuan, treated me as a pawn and an ant, did you ever think there would be today’s reckoning?"
Ye Xuan stood with arms crossed, looking calmly at the kneeling Eternal Shadow, his voice serene and unperturbed, as if narrating a casual event.
"The shame of the past, today is being settled, who dares call themselves invincible? Who claims they cannot be defeated?"
"Throughout the eternity of Heaven and Earth’s development, truly eternal and undefeated are only those few Heaven-shocking Extremists, and you are not among them, which is why you kneel before me."
Ye Xuan spoke indifferently, as if reciting an eternal truth.
Ye Xuan did not mention, that even those few Heaven-shocking Extremists are not truly eternally undefeated.
Though not bound by the Eternal Universe, nor can they be erased, they still remain within it, unable to achieve true freedom and transcendence.
Even Ye Xuan’s past life, renowned as the first of the Primordial era, the strongest of all ages, ’Huang’ emerged from that gate in loneliness, forever vanishing into the distant past, thus leading to Ye Xuan’s existence now.
Who dares call themselves invincible? Who claims they cannot be defeated?
These words are not mere rhetoric; the profound meaning within is understood only by those Heaven-shocking Extremists and Ye Xuan.
"Ye Xuan, you’ve won, you’ve finally won, you’ve surpassed me, you’ve surpassed all the figures of forbidden nature, today’s shame is the consequence of my past actions, I have nothing to say, kill me."
Winner takes all, survival of the fittest!
Eternal Shadow understood this truth profoundly, kneeling in humiliation at Ye Xuan’s feet, unable to withstand even a flick of Ye Xuan’s finger, acknowledging his utter defeat.
Always, Eternal Shadow was an exceedingly proud individual, living endless ages, as a living person once an era’s supreme being, commanding the Power of Time, titled by spirits as worthy of respect.
Even when his era ended, when the Chaotic Universe was destroyed and everyone died, he survived, though merely as an undead, yet he persisted.
His lifelong aspiration was to become one of those Heaven-shocking Extremists, to open that great door, to truly become an unrivaled existence.
Sadly, today, Eternal Shadow understood he was far, far away from becoming a Heaven-shocking Extremist, let alone peering through that great door.
Even today’s appearance of Ye Xuan made him realize, that dead people remain dead, so-called forbidden territory, was merely lingering as a living corpse.
Heart cold and lost, hope completely extinguished!
Eternal Shadow developed a desire for death as hope was lost, and a hopeless dead man living is merely a walking corpse; only today did he realize the nature of his existence. freēwēbnovel.com
"Daoist Ye, spare him mercy."
Suddenly, Gai Tianyuan kneeled with a thud, bowing to Ye Xuan in plea: "Master has already lost, with your current cultivation, killing him is but a thought away, yet Master, though he used you, did not harm you, he even imparted to you forbidden techniques back then, please show mercy."
Gai Tianyuan showed utmost loyalty to Eternal Shadow, for without Eternal Shadow, he would be nothing but a remnant soul, unable to become even Half-step Supreme, this was why he risked his life to plead.
"You plead for him!"
Ye Xuan frowned slightly, then spoke softly: "True, he did impart to me two forbidden techniques, one of which, the Reverse Character Technique, allowed me resurrection, yet I also gifted him Tribulation Immortal Transformation, it was merely an exchange, therefore I owe him nothing."
Ye Xuan paused slightly, then continued: "Although in the past, Heavenly Yuan Brother helped me encircle and kill the Undying, this favor I owe, today you plead for him, I can spare his life, but on one condition."
"Daoist Ye, please speak."
Gai Tianyuan’s expression brightened, unexpectedly Ye Xuan could indeed spare Eternal Shadow.
