Checking in for 100,000 Years Chapter 1079: Master, This Heavenly Dao Chickened Out!
Previously on Checking in for 100,000 Years...
"Master, this ancient undead being is clearly unhinged. Realizing he cannot defeat you, he’s merely taking out his frustration on this elder in the sky!"
The Imitation Mirror drifted to the side, unable to suppress a chuckle.
"Perhaps not. He's at least a significant figure, nearly reaching the Emperor Realm. It's unlikely he's completely lost his mind..."
Ye Yun commented with composure.
As the Red Dust Supreme had not yet launched an attack against him, Ye Yun made no move either, simply observing the unfolding events.
"Red Dust Supreme, you must not!"
From a distant mountain peak, an ancient Supreme’s expression turned anxious, and he cried out loudly.
"Red Dust Supreme, cease this instant!"
Another Supreme echoed the warning.
Towards these urgent pleas, the Red Dust Supreme remained entirely indifferent.
The shroud of black mist above his head dissipated completely at this moment.
"Hahaha..."
The Red Dust Supreme erupted in laughter, his demeanor bordering on wild.
"Red Dust Supreme, what absurd scheme are you concocting now?"
The Imitation Mirror taunted him.
"We, the Seven Supremes of the Valley of Sky Burial—which one of us isn't a Quasi-Emperor with a terrifying cultivation base? In that distant previous epoch, we swept across the lands, virtually unmatched beneath the heavens, and now a mere brat like you has brought us to this point...
Hmph! You should feel honored!"
The Red Dust Supreme fixed his gaze upon Ye Yun, his face cycling through hues of green and red, clearly indicating the violent turmoil of his emotions.
"The previous epoch?"
Ye Yun expressed slight surprise. So, these ancient, undying beings had indeed persisted from the last epoch until the present.
That was truly no small feat.
He recalled that during the previous epoch, the appearance of the Slaughter Blood Evil Sword had ignited a world-ending catastrophe, leading to the demise of nearly all living beings.
Only a minuscule number of peerless powerhouses had narrowly escaped annihilation.
And these Seven Supremes of the Valley of Sky Burial were precisely among those survivors.
Ye Yun’s expression grew serious.
Although these seven were no match for him, the mere fact that they had endured for so long commanded a measure of his respect.
"Good heavens, these fellows have been around for an awfully long time, haven't they?"
The Imitation Mirror exclaimed in astonishment.
"Indeed, quite a long time. It appears they possessed their own unique methods to eke out an existence here in the Valley of Sky Burial..."
Ye Yun offered a faint smile.
The Red Dust Supreme continued to stare at Ye Yun, his eyes reddening, and cold glints flickered within their depths.
"Back then, when the Goddess of Ancient traversed this very place, she had to take a wide detour. And you, a mere junior Sword Cultivator nurtured by her, dare to act so presumptuously. If I cannot end you today, then assuredly, someone else will!"
The Red Dust Supreme declared with icy disdain.
"And who is it that can kill me?"
Ye Yun guffawed, feeling an immense surge of exhilaration at that moment.
He was practically yearning for a formidable expert to engage him in a true battle.
"It is the one who is truly invincible under heaven, hahaha..."
Sensing something, the Red Dust Supreme abruptly pointed a finger towards the void.
Rumble!
A clap of thunder suddenly echoed from the void.
Thunder without a cloud in sight.
This peculiar celestial phenomenon carried an unsettling aura.
Whoosh...
A streak of white lightning descended from the void.
Its intended target—
was the Valley of Sky Burial.
This bolt of white lightning, several hundred zhang in width, was streaking directly towards the Red Dust Supreme.
And the distance separating the Red Dust Supreme and Ye Yun was less than a hundred zhang.
Should it strike the Red Dust Supreme, it would inevitably engulf Ye Yun as well.
"Master, this is a Heavenly Tribulation!"
The Imitation Mirror fixated on the white lightning, shouting a loud warning.
The white lightning pulsed with a terrifying might.
"Go, devour it!"
Ye Yun laughed and hurled the Imitation Mirror he held.
"Understood!"
The Imitation Mirror shouted back and suspended itself in mid-air.
It instantly expanded to an immense size, its black and white stripes writhing and transforming into a colossal maw that suddenly gaped open.
The bolt of white lightning plunged directly into it.
At this juncture, the Imitation Mirror's surface area spanned tens of thousands of zhang.
Its maw was thus far larger than the white lightning itself.
"What a potent treasure mirror!"
The Red Dust Supreme gazed at the colossal mirror in stunned silence, his heart pounding with excitement.
If they possessed such a treasure, wouldn't their travels in the future be significantly less encumbered?
They would no longer need the bothersome black mist to conceal themselves.
"Old man, you truly have a way with words. You recognize that your Grandpa Mirror is indeed magnificent! To be frank, among all mirrors under heaven, if I claim the first position, no one would dare challenge my supremacy! Hahaha!"
Hearing the Red Dust Supreme's commendation, the Imitation Mirror became somewhat boastful and let out a loud laugh.
Rumble...
Thunder once again reverberated through the void.
The Red Dust Supreme scoffed, stating, "Is that so? Don’t assume this is the end of it..."
Without any prior indication, a colossal, pale humanoid form materialized in the sky above.
Its sheer immensity, dwarfing the heavens and earth, created a profoundly striking visual.
Yet, an oddity persisted—
this spectral white figure was imperceptible to everyone else across the Divine Land.
It appeared that only the inhabitants of the Valley of Sky Burial could truly perceive its presence.
"Haha, the Heavenly Dao has finally taken human form! You insignificant mirror have no understanding of your place—swallowing the Heavenly Tribulation of the Heavenly Dao. Now, your retribution has arrived!"
The Red Dust Supreme erupted in loud laughter.
His initial scheme involved drawing down the Heavenly Tribulation to obliterate Ye Yun.
He had not anticipated that this mirror would exhibit such peculiar behavior as to absorb the white lightning, thereby provoking the ire of the Heavenly Dao.
Such an action constituted an outright defiance of the Heavenly Dao.
Even as a Quasi-Emperor, he lacked the audacity to challenge the Heavenly Dao directly.
It was likely only upon achieving the Emperor Realm that one would possess the standing to confront the Heavenly Dao.
"Holy cow, the Heavenly Dao actually showed up!"
Gazing at the indistinct white apparition, the Imitation Mirror flinched in surprise, rapidly shrank, and retreated back towards Ye Yun.
"Why are you returning?"
Ye Yun inquired with a smile.
"Master, that is the Heavenly Dao. I am not its equal!"
The Imitation Mirror exclaimed in alarm.
"Very well, then simply stand aside and observe the enemy's disposition for the moment!"
Ye Yun offered a faint smile, his expression remaining unperturbed.
He astutely recognized that this minor mirror was intentionally feigning weakness.
The Imitation Mirror was an artifact of unknown origin, possessing boundless potential.
It might harbor certain undisclosed reservations, which prevented it from freely displaying its true power.
Regarding that specific matter—
Ye Yun held no particular concern.
He viewed every artifact and Divine Pet within his repository as if they were his own progeny.
After all, these little companions demonstrated unwavering loyalty to him.
This loyalty pleased him greatly.
"Little Sword, is this Heavenly Dao… distinct from the Heavenly Dao of the Cangnan Continent?"
Ye Yun raised the Heaven-Slaying Sword and quietly posed the question internally.
"It is indeed different. This Heavenly Dao—
is even more formidable!"
The Heaven-Slaying Sword responded with palpable excitement.
Throughout its existence, its greatest pleasure derived from severing heavens.
While it had not encountered numerous Heavenly Daos to vanquish, this particular inclination had persisted.
"Go, strike it!"
Ye Yun let out a laugh and, with considerable force, hurled the Heaven-Slaying Sword.
As the Heaven-Slaying Sword was propelled forward, it unleashed a potent Super Divine Dragon Breath.
This unique Super Divine Dragon Breath was perceivable only by the Heavenly Dao itself; even a formidable Quasi-Emperor like the Red Dust Supreme could not detect its presence.
The white silhouette, which represented the Heavenly Dao's manifestation, had just begun to raise a finger, poised to descend, when it suddenly perceived a sword hurtling towards it.
The Super Divine Dragon Breath emanating from the Heaven-Slaying Sword instantly filled it with profound dread.
The white silhouette hastily retracted its finger, pivoted, and transformed into a blinding streak of white light, making a swift retreat into the depths of the void.
Its velocity was extraordinary; in mere moments, it vanished completely, leaving no trace behind.
The Heaven-Slaying Sword pierced only empty space.
"Master, this Heavenly Dao actually lost its nerve!"
The Heaven-Slaying Sword communicated secretly.
