941 Battle of Eternals (I)

'Damn it, I've been tricked,' cursed He Shiyi internally as he saw countless magical circles appearing above the sect; the attack's real purpose was not to create as much damage as possible but to place a seal that prevented other people from coming to help him.

The worst thing about this situation is that he will have to take even longer than necessary to activate the Four Symbol Mirror.

He Shiyi glanced at his adversary with intense killing intent. 'What a beautiful woman,' was the first thought that flashed in his mind. However, his killing intent did not diminish in the slightest.

"Who are you?" asked He Shiyi with terrible coldness emanating from his body. "I have never met you, so we should not have any animosity." He could sense the aura of an Eternal from this woman; more importantly, the latter strength made him take this battle seriously.

"Your Spirit Genesis Sect has offended so many people, so are you surprised that some random individual attacked you?" said Xu Shi in her angelic voice. Most of the information he received from this sect originated from the Heavenly Emperor.

However, she did not take things at face value and made a judgment solely based on the latter's words.

In this brief encounter, she used the power of Time to glance at the past of this world and saw how the Spirit Genesis Sect usually acted–prideful and domineering. They made the fact they were the strongest sect in the lower dimension their only identity and personality.

He Shiyi frowned after hearing what she said. It's true their sect offended many people, but most factions do not dare retaliate against them. Furthermore, they usually do things in the shadows, so people often suspect it's them, but they have no proof.

"You're making a mistake, but there is still time to turn back. Don't wait until things get worse and your actions are irreparable."

"Your tone of superiority is disgusting," said Xu Shi with a sneer. Then, she no longer wasted any time with this person and rushed forward. The power of time enveloped her feet, and she instantly appeared next to He Shiyi; it was like she was always there in the first place. She clenched her beautiful hand and punched him in the face.

Boom!

He Shiyi took a dozen steps in the void before stopping; his face had no injury, not even a scratch.

'His body is on par with me,' analyzed Xu Shi. When she was in the Saint Realm, she realized the creator of the Primordial Chaos Art was very young when creating this version, and the latter was probably not as talented as her. So, she decided to improve the technique.

After spending years studying divine runes, she optimized the Immortal Aperture

Realm of the technique, raising the lower limit of the technique from granting 3-Leaf Battle Strength to 9-Leaf.

Alas, she did not have the time to cultivate the Immortal Aperture, so Xu Shi did not reach 9-Leaf before proving the Dao.

However, afterward, not only did she finish cultivating her Immortal Aperture, but she also created the Dao Aperture Realm of this technique.

Currently, her strength is 94 Primordial Dragon Force, and once she finishes the Dao Aperture, her strength should have entered the fourth realm of the True Power Dao Realm and achieved battle prowess equal to Dao Ancestors with only her flesh.

Afterward, she has to focus on creating and cultivating the Chaos Aperture, which should be enough for her until she opens the Gate of Power. As for the final realm of Primordial Aperture, Xu Shi plans to create this stage after ascending and learning more about the world. She might come into contact with the original creator of the Primordial Chaos Art, exchange ideas, and compare which scripture is better.

He Shiyi looked at the woman before him, surprise flashing in his eyes.

'The Dao of Time?' He immediately knew this battle would be more intense. Anyone who can prove the Dao with any of the Outlaw Daos should not be underestimated–especially one who became an Eternal Emperor.

He Shiyi no longer hesitated as he awakened his Dao Body. Red markings appeared on his face before trailing down to his upper chest, and his pupil and hair turned golden, releasing a terrifying battle intent.

A gold and silver armor appeared around his body, covering every part of his body except the head. He Shiyi raised his hand, and a pure black halberd materialized in his hand.

Xu Shi's eyes squinted after seeing her opponent's armor and weapon. She could tell it was the latter's Proving Dao Artifact, but she focused on it because of the hidden fearful aura she sensed.

After the latter awakening, Xu Shi sensed he only achieved a Grand Dao Boost of 3%, but the latter's Emperor Artifact gave a 10% Grand Dao Boost.

'How is that possible?' She doubted even the Heavenly Emperor's artifact could not be this powerful. Suddenly, she thought of something:

'Did he use the power of the broken

Empyrean Artifact to refine and temper his Proving Dao Artifact?'

She immediately analyzed the pros and cons of this method. The pros are obvious–creating such a powerful weapon that every Emperor would be envious.

However, there is also a con. The Empyrean Artifact should contain the Grand Dao Source of its owner. If not careful, other lesser or weaker artifacts could be contaminated by the latter's Dao, rendering them useless.

Xu Shi did not waste time as she also awakened her Dao Body. A cloud-like shawl floated above her head while the two ends embraced her body. In an instant, she became more divine and noble, just like an immortal Goddess descending to the world of mortals.

She raised her hand, and a small cauldron or pot floated above her palm, releasing the terrifying power of Primordial Chaos.

[Splitting the Heaven]

He Shiyi rushed toward his opponent, dropping his halberd with all his might. A terrifying power capable of splitting the entire world emanated from the weapon as it dropped down with unparalleled momentum.

'Power Dao? No, it should be Battle Dao that uses resonance to control Force Dao.'

Xu Shi controlled her [Myriad Dao Pot], making it grow to the size of a normal cauldron. The pot released a gray fog that stood before the mighty Halberd. Following the clash, nothing happened.

There was no loud sound, no energy or force releases, or any effect on the surrounding space; it was like the weapon landed on a sack of cotton or clouds–the fog absorbed all the attack.

'Weapon-10%, Awakening-3%, Dao

Will-2%, for an overall strength of 35,' analyzed Xu Shi. 'There is still the possibility of his soul, other Source Technique, or using some method to elevate the strength of his fleshly body.'

Only in the Infant Fiendgod Force could the body grant any Grand Dao Boost, and based on their first confrontation, Xu Shi knew his opponent was not there.

However, she did not immediately rule out the possibility.

[Endless Blade of Time]

Thousands of swords appeared above the sky, each glowing with the power of time.

They descended on He Shiyi faster than he could blink, think, or react; they skipped time and directly attacked a few seconds into the future, where he was unprepared and could not notice anything.

Luckily, He Shiyi's main Dao is Battle Dao, so the thing he lacked most was Battle IQ or experience. His halberd spun in a circular motion, blocking any swords that came close to him.

Then, He Shiyi's face changed as he stopped his actions and proceeded to evade instead.

'Great intuition,' thought Xu Shi. Her actions were only a trick, hiding her real objective. She wanted to revert the time on her opponent's artifact to the period before it became so powerful. Alas, He Shiyi noticed, stopped blocking the Swords of Time, and evaded instead.

'It doesn't matter that he evades since I accomplished one of my objectives.'

He Shiyi can evade her attack, but the same cannot be said for the area. The Spirit Genesis Sect was mostly intact due to their sect's protective array, but the land beyond their protection was devastated by this one attack.

Xu Shi could hear the sound of something crying in agony and anger, followed by a sense of rejection between Heaven and Earth. She knew it was Heavenly Dao's hatred for her actions. Unfortunately, the latter is powerless to do anything about it.

'Weakness is the original sin,' thought Xu Shi, a lesson she learned the hard way as she helplessly watched her husband dying in her arms.

[Supreme Divine Thunder Punishment]

He Shiyi used his halberd as a spear, rushing toward his opponent with a stabbing motion. Purple lightning and thunder surrounded him, annihilating everything in its path.

Xu Shi discovered this attack had the attribute of Divine Punishment Thunder, meaning it could not be evaded. She did not panic, releasing more gray fog from the pot.

It swallowed it without much effort as soon as it came into contact with this potent thunder.

"All things returned to chaos," muttered He Shiyi, who immediately figured out what had happened. He wanted to distance himself from his opponent without hesitation, but it was too late.

A sword made out of the same fog had materialized in Xu Shi's hand, and she slashed him.
