"Prince is currently in seclusion. No one is allowed to approach him!"
The voice of the Shadow Guard of the Emperor was as cold as ice, carrying a tone that could decide life or death.
"Oh, s-sorry for my interruption!"
Master Yuhua trembled in fear.
He didn't doubt for a second that if he hesitated even slightly, he would be mercilessly obliterated!
Is this the terrifying presence of the Divine Dao Realm?
The so-called Divine Dao Realm is a level above the Pathwalking Realm!
Much more terrifying than the Pathwalking Realm!
The Divine Dao Realm is the critical stage between the Body of the Great Dao and the Emperor.
To become an Emperor, one must set foot on the path of the Great Dao.
And those in the Divine Dao Realm are beings who have already walked some distance on that path.
It sounds like the Divine Dao Realm is just one level above the Pathwalking Realm and shouldn't differ much.
But in reality, once you step into the gates of the Great Dao, it becomes way more mysterious and unfathomable!
If a Divine Dao Realm expert wants to act, those in the Pathwalking Realm can barely resist.
If this wasn't the case, then back at the Mountain, that mighty Pathwalking Realm cultivator wouldn't have been so easily obliterated.
"Activate the Mountain Protection Array!"
Upon receiving the order from the Shadow Guard, Master Yuhua hurried away.
....
....
*Shrr*
Moments later, brilliant lights lit up above the entire Yuhua Immortal Sect. The array enveloped all the mountain peaks.
Yet even so, terrifying energy waves still surged in waves.
The pressure scattered in all directions, causing the mountains to tremble.
As for the ordinary disciples, they curled up under the array, not daring to make any move.
"What kind of monstrous creature is this…"
Master Yuhua looked up at the sky, his expression changing with deep emotion.
Also feeling shocked was the seemingly calm Shadow Guard.
The Shadow Guard stared blankly at the clouds overhead.
"This is… the aura of the Great Dao?"
"How is this possible…"
"Demon Emperor's Heir is clearly only at the Myriad Laws Realm…"
He muttered in disbelief.
Normally, only those who've reached the Pathwalking Realm are qualified to touch upon the Great Dao.
Just like himself, after three thousand years of refinement in the Pathwalking Realm, he had only taken a small step into the Divine Dao Realm.
But… what is Su Ming's current realm?!
To perceive the Great Dao in the Myriad Laws Realm, and even trigger such a massive phenomenon....
The Demon Emperor's son was simply too terrifying.
"I wonder, which Dao has His Highness comprehended?"
The Shadow Guard was full of doubt.
Surely he hasn't already started walking the path of the Infinite Demon Emperor?
The Emperor is still young, if he walks the path of the Infinite Demon Emperor, then the Demon Emperor's son won't be able to become an Emperor himself…
The Shadow Guard silently pondered.
At this moment, inside the Yellow Spring Diagram, Su Ming.
He had already walked around five thousand steps across the Yellow Spring Bridge, and the pressure around him grew stronger and stronger.
If an ordinary martial artist were here, they'd have long been crushed into a bloody mess, turning to dust.
But Su Ming's expression remained calm as he steadily walked forward.
Just then....
*Swoosh*
Suddenly, golden light flowed along the Yellow Spring Bridge, and the surroundings changed once more.
"Leave!"
From the spirit mist, came a furious roar.
"Get out of here this instant!"
A thunderous sound erupted from the Yellow Springs Bridge.
In an instant, the waves of the Yellow Spring became more violent with the voice, surging into massive, earth-shaking waves.
Su Ming's eyes narrowed.
Above the Yellow Spring Bridge, a golden aura surged, and a vast and majestic spirit faintly appeared.
The spirit wore golden divine robes, standing around ten thousand feet tall like a sky piercing giant.
*Whoosh*
At this moment, the spirit radiated terrifying pressure.
The aura of a Great Emperor!
"The Yellow Spring Emperor?"
Su Ming was startled.
But then, he quickly calmed down.
The Yellow Spring Emperor had long perished. What remained here wasn't even a remnant soul.
At most, it was just a fragment of consciousness.
"Scram!"
The spirit shouted angrily.
Above his head, spirit mist flowed, and terrifying pressure rushed forward.
"Your fate isn't for it. You're not worthy of the Emperor's legacy. Leave at once!"
*Boom…!*
With his voice, the pressure on the Yellow Spring Bridge intensified ten times more.
The spirit mist seemed to be condensing into a solid form, attempting to crush Su Ming into pieces.
At the same time, the spirit of the Yellow Spring Emperor grew more solid. His golden eyes flickered, turning into radiant light.
The ancient Emperor's aura flowed outward, as if the Yellow Spring Emperor himself was truly present.
Even a Pathwalking Realm cultivator here would feel fear in their heart and kneel in reverence.
But Su Ming merely smiled faintly.
"What damn fate."
"What I obtain is mine. You're just a tattered fragment of consciousness, and you dare act superior in front of me, the son of the Infinite Demon Emperor?"
He didn't care at all and kept walking forward.
"Impudent!"
Seeing his warning fail, the spirit was furious.
He was the mighty Yellow Spring Emperor!
In life, he reigned supreme. His terrifying reputation made countless tremble and pee just by hearing his name.
No one even dared to think of resisting him.
But now, a junior dared act arrogantly in front of him?!
Especially when the other was just an ant at the Myriad Laws Realm!
"You're courting death!"
*Boom…!*
The spirit moved, stirring the spirit energy above his head.
A terrifying giant hand reached for Su Ming, trying to crush him into fragments.
This power carried the might to shatter mountains, overwhelming and dreadful, capable of killing a Pathwalking Realm cultivator with a mere show of strength.
But Su Ming remained calm, a faint smile appearing on his face.
The crushing force that came upon him.....
*Grrrhh!*
Was instantly dispersed by the Ancestral Dragon spirit beside him, not harming him at all.
Seeing this, Su Ming chuckled softly.
Though he was as small as an ant before the spirit of a true emperor, his heart remained still as normal as water.
"No matter how angry you are, you cannot be revived, it's the eternal truth."
"This last fragment of consciousness, let me, a Demon Emperor's son, send you off."
Lightning flickered in Su Ming's eyes.
At the same time, the Ancestral Dragon spirit appeared behind him, and terrifying dragon energy spread out like massive flood.
Su Ming pointed a finger!
*Whoosh!*
Spiritual power surged, enhanced by dragon energy.
Yellow Spring Finger!
This move, a Yellow Spring Dao technique he comprehended from the diagram, was now used against the Yellow Spring Emperor himself.
Light coiled around his fingertip, seemingly drawing in all surrounding spirit energy into one point.
*Crack!*
With a single strike, winds surged, and terrifying shockwaves exploded.
*Boom!*
The Yellow Spring Emperor's spirit was instantly shattered by more than half from the single finger.
