I Have A Cultivation World Chapter 2594 - 1181: Great Dao of Destruction
Previously on I Have A Cultivation World...
In an instant of profound realization, Chen Mobai at last glimpsed a gateway.
He remained uncertain about which Great Dao this gateway signified. All his insights into the Great Dao, be it from the Pure Yang Scroll or the Yi Yuan Dao Scripture, stayed utterly mute in that moment, offering no response at all.
This indicated that what lay beyond the gateway lay outside his prior comprehension.
Chen Mobai hazily sensed within himself; right then, the Artifact Spirit of the Lingxiao Immortal Armor stirred vigorously, as though the Great Dao past this gateway matched exactly the power it wielded.
Guided by the Artifact Spirit, Chen Mobai's consciousness approached the gateway, and he lightly reached out, nudging it open just a crack.
Yet even that narrow opening unleashed a chilling white radiance that sent shivers down Chen Mobai's spine, while the Heavenly Blessing issued frantic alerts.
Right then, Chen Mobai grasped the essence of the power this gateway embodied.
The Great Dao of Destruction!
Through the Chaos Primal Energy Cannon's activation, the pilot in the Lingxiao Immortal Armor could actually touch the edge of the Great Dao of Destruction.
It appeared Bai Guang's grasp of the Great Dao of Destruction stemmed from this very source.
In that fleeting second, a burst of insight surged through Chen Mobai's thoughts.
Witnessing Bai Guang's success convinced him he could accomplish the same.
Chen Mobai drove the Law of the Five Tones to its limit, slowly gaining the sensation that he could now widen the gateway's slit, letting more Destruction Great Dao power spill forth from behind it.
This enhancement would not only amplify the Chaos Primal Energy Cannon's might but also deepen his attunement to the Destruction-related Dao Rhythm and True Meaning.
Meanwhile, the Heavenly Blessing's cautions started to fade. In Chen Mobai's mind, Bai Guang's lingering Sword Dao spiritual sense began reviving independently, its fiercest Sword Intent steadily blending with the destructive white glow ahead.
Chen Mobai drew a deep breath, casting aside hesitation, and thrust both hands against the gateway's left and right panels.
As he applied pressure, the Lingxiao Immortal Armor erupted in brilliant pure white brilliance. At that instant, almost half the spiritual energy amassed over millennia by the Immortal Gate got depleted.
The Nine Heavens Immortal Mansion, reshaped from the Four Symbols Dao Palace, appeared to contract sharply, as if drained of too much spiritual energy in one go.
Qi Yuheng and his companions' faces shifted dramatically upon seeing the cannon barrel's progress bar drop from 49% to 21%. This showed Chen Mobai had burned through nearly three thousand years of the Immortal Gate's spiritual energy reserves in mere moments.
Yet the results proved strikingly clear.
Inside the Chaos Primal Energy Cannon's barrel, the bone-chilling white Destruction light already stunned every Cultivator at the Immortal Gate to their core. Those nearby sensed utter annihilation looming, as though they'd soon reduce to dust.
Not even God-Transcending cultivators escaped this dread.
Tao Hua, freshly advanced to Divinity Transformation yet rooted deeply, felt her thousand years of foundation dwarfed like a fragile sprout before a planet-crashing meteor as the destructive white light neared eruption from the cannon.
While Immortal Gate members trembled in fear, Chen Mobai, encased in pristine white Immortal Armor, shoved his hands forward once more.
Buzz...
In a heartbeat, the Chaos Primal Energy Cannon's progress bar plunged to zero!
The Nine Heavens Immortal Mansion, formed from the Four Symbols Dao Palace, started crumbling. The four Deity Transformation True Monarchs overseeing it just managed to hold the energy-starved Dao Palace afloat in the starry cosmos.
And what had been the radiant glow from unsealing all Spiritual Pivots of the Thirty-Six Heavenly Caves and Seventy-Two Blessed Lands—like Earth Element Stars sparkling across the land—now faded entirely.
The entire planet plunged into blackout darkness, stripped of ninety-nine percent of its illumination.
Chen Mobai, the source of it all, now perceived that the Great Dao of Destruction gateway, which he'd scarcely pried open, had jammed shut, refusing to budge further.
His mind raced, quickly pinpointing the cause.
In just a handful of breaths, he'd drained every bit of spiritual energy stored in the Chaos Primal Energy Cannon. The Immortal Gate's millennia-long reserves sufficed only to crack open one-fifth of the Destruction Great Dao gateway.
Chen Mobai couldn't help feeling somewhat unsatisfied.
Given Ming Wang Star's formidable might, he doubted if this Destruction power could fully obliterate the entire Underworld Race, Netherworld Queen included, into cosmic debris.
But this marked the Immortal Gate's full extent of reserves.
To pry it wider demanded tapping the spiritual energy held for the wandering Earth Element Star.
[May these forces of Destruction be enough to bring extinction upon Ming Wang Star!]
Chen Mobai could only offer this prayer, then plunged his pure white Immortal Armor-clad hands into the gateway, relentlessly channeling the Destruction power via the armor into the cannon barrel.
The Lingxiao Immortal Armor's such capabilities had been revealed to him by the Artifact Spirit during their shared insight.
Having grasped it once through the Law of the Five Tones, Chen Mobai comprehended it fully.
Even on this debut use, he executed flawlessly.
[Your courage and talent are indeed not inferior to Bai Guang.]
The Immortal Armor Spirit spoke abruptly then, leaving Chen Mobai at a loss for reply.
To agree seemed boastful.
To deny rang false.
Still, he puzzled over the Immortal Armor Spirit's intent.
[The Great Dao of Destruction ranks as the deadliest among the Three Thousand Great Dao. Ninety-nine percent of its practitioners self-destruct.]
[Zhang Daoshun once tapped Sword Dao to approach Destruction but pulled back at its gateway, shifting to the Star Path instead. That hesitation left his Sword Heart imperfect, dooming his Cultivating Void attempt.]
[Bai Guang alone charged ahead without dread, convinced any sword-related path lay within her grasp. After Entrusting the Primordial Spirit, she plunged into the Great Dao of Destruction, absorbing its Innate True Meaning to forge her Sword Dao.]
Hearing this, Chen Mobai recognized it fit Bai Guang's nature perfectly.
Had she wavered, her Sword Dao wouldn't have shaken the heavens.
Yet his choice to probe and comprehend the Great Dao of Destruction stemmed not from Bai Guang's fearless daring, but the Heavenly Blessing's mild warnings.
This signaled no fatal peril in his pursuit.
Bai Guang embodied bold recklessness, while he favored cunning strategy!
Though he mused thus, Chen Mobai spared some respect for the Immortal Armor Spirit.
Just then, the Great Dao of Destruction gateway narrowed slightly on its own.
[Immortal Gate methods merely borrow Destruction Power from the Great Dao for a fleeting time; seize it to extract the utmost Destruction Power. But this will inflict heavy harm on you—ponder well...]
The Immortal Armor Spirit promptly outlined the peril to Chen Mobai.
Chen Mobai had already sensed his vital force and Vital Essence waning as he urged the Lingxiao Immortal Armor to funnel Destruction Power into the cannon barrel.
The Power of Destruction proved too much even for a God-Transcending cultivator.
Though the Immortal Armor filtered over ninety-nine percent of the Destruction Aura,
thankfully, Chen Mobai's vast Lifespan and mastery of the Longevity Technique provided ample vitality. He figured that by the Destruction gateway's closure, he'd forfeit roughly three hundred years of life.
For the Immortal Gate, such a sacrifice demanded enduring resolve.
After all, his homeworld had birthed and raised him.
With that in mind, Chen Mobai banished doubt and maxed out the Lingxiao Immortal Armor, hauling the peak Destruction Great Dao Power before the gateway sealed shut.
Roar!
In the starry cosmos, the cannon barrel's white destruction light grew impossibly thick, a wisp of pure white electric gleam even seeping from the muzzle.
Immortal Sect Disciples fled far from the Chaos Primal Energy Cannon.
Cheng Xuan had withdrawn the Artifact Refiners ages ago.
Qi Yuheng held out longest, confident his robust frame could fend off the Destruction Aura.
But as Chen Mobai pulled in more Destruction Power, Qi Yuheng felt his own vitality ebb. Shocked and moved, he inferred Chen Mobai endured grievous Vital Energy wounds at the epicenter.
Qi Yuheng clenched his jaw, ready to brave the Destruction Aura and lifespan drain to save Chen Mobai right after the Chaos Primal Energy Cannon launched.
"Senior Brother Qi, please retreat; I’m about to fire!"
Yet Chen Mobai's voice rang suddenly in his ears.
Stunned, Qi Yuheng could only exhale heavily and teleport behind the Heavenly Curtain.
Chen Mobai gradually lifted his eyes, the Lingxiao Immortal Armor now a crystalline glow armor, palpably infused with the Great Dao of Destruction.
Boom!
The Chaos Primal Energy Cannon's barrel quaked fiercely before Chen Mobai, on the verge of bursting.
Chen Mobai's hands cradled the empty air as if gripping the barrel, pouring the final Destruction Power from within while releasing the ultimate seal.
Rumble!
Every Immortal Gate cultivator beheld a heaven-shattering pure white light explode from the colossal starry cannon barrel.
Like a radiant white beam, it connected Earth Element Star to the remote cosmos, streaking toward the black-smoke-shrouded approaching Ming Wang Star.
Ming Wang Star!
The Netherworld Queen’s expression twisted in horror. An unparalleled Death Aura enveloped the whole Underworld Race.
She gazed upward instinctively, watching an invisible pure white blaze ascend from the forward starry sky, strike her brow, pierce the River of Death, and plunge into Ming Wang Star!
