The True Martial Great Emperor prepares to challenge the heavens and engages Xu Zimei in a battle of immense power. Both combatants unleash their full might, wielding devastating blade and sword techniques that threaten to shake the world. The True Martial Great Emperor reveals his mastery of the Path of True Self, a technique that integrates all Great Daos, overwhelming Xu Zimei with its power.

Xu Zimei was in extreme agony at this moment.

He was scorched by searing flames, encased in biting frost, battered by celestial thunder, and ravaged by a furious wind.

The might of countless paths assailed him.

Time relentlessly aged him, space tore at his limbs, the Path of Strength incessantly shook his body, and the Path of Death coiled around his Divine Soul.

In his perception, gales shrieked and celestial thunder boomed.

Numerous paths, countless cascading waterfalls manifested.

This was no longer a mere contest of strength.

Imagine an ordinary person standing beneath a sky ten thousand meters high.

Picture hundreds of thousands of waterfalls plummeting down from above.

How would one possibly confront such a spectacle?

Would you be swept away within these torrents, ultimately surrendering to the current?

"No, such thoughts are not what I should entertain."

Xu Zimei squeezed his eyes shut firmly.

No torment, neither to his body nor his Divine Soul, could elicit a grimace from him.

He appeared almost entirely numb to sensation.

Being entwined by myriad paths presented both a perilous trial and a profound opportunity.

Such a chance to traverse the labyrinth of countless paths was exceedingly rare.

How could the Million Great Paths ascend to the Ten Million Great Dao?

Xu Zimei had, in fact, amassed considerable attainments.

Yet, he perpetually felt it was insufficient, that much more was still required.

After all, the higher one's cultivation progresses, the more arduous the journey becomes.

Transforming one hundred paths into a thousand might require merely nine hundred more.

But bridging the gap from a million paths to ten million signifies a chasm of nine million.

Completely traversing such a distance is by no means a simple undertaking.

Therefore, when Xu Zimei found himself overwhelmed by the multitude of paths, it was an experience fraught with both suffering and potential.

He became akin to a sponge.

Continuously absorbing the essence around him.

Persistently enriching himself, drawing the sensation of the Ten Million Great Dao ever closer.

Finally, after an unknown duration had passed—

Within the realm of cultivation, time loses all meaning.

Xu Zimei no longer registered the passage of moments.

He only felt himself immersed within the flow of countless paths, discerning their individual natures before ultimately integrating them into his own.

The forces of the Great Dao within him churned with immense vigor.

The insights of his Divine Soul ascended with heavenly speed.

Reaching ever greater altitudes.

"Rumble, rumble."

Each ascent to such heights felt like a fundamental metamorphosis.

Xu Zimei was utterly absorbed in the process.

Until, at a distinct juncture, all the forces coursing through him converged at a critical threshold.

His Divine Soul, body, and spirit collectively attained Perfection.

In a sudden flash, Xu Zimei's eyes snapped open.

He recognized that the moment to advance to the Ten Million Great Dao had finally arrived.

With a resounding "boom,"

it seemed as though an intrinsic barrier within him was shattered.

An immense, indescribable power erupted forth.

It was like the cosmic river of the Firmament unfurling across the land, irresistible and illuminating both past and present.

It was also akin to boundless vistas of mountains and seas surging with dynamic energy.

No earthly words could adequately capture this power or the dominion of the Great Dao it represented.

This newfound Dao directly pulverized the constraints imposed by countless lesser paths.

This power belonged wholly to the Creation Great Path.

If other paths were likened to waterfalls plummeting from immense heights,

then the Creation Great Path was the embodiment of an eternal, all-encompassing sea.

The sea welcomes all rivers, its immensity defined by its capacity.

The sea subsumes every waterfall.

The Creation Great Path, likewise, contained the inherent power of all existent paths.

Finally, as this Great Dao reverberated between heaven and earth, linking with the Firmament itself, Xu Zimei's form materialized from the dissolution of countless paths.

At this instant, no path could exert any influence over him.

He had grasped the ultimate Truth within the Path of True Self.

The aura of the Ten Million Great Dao began to emanate expansively from his being.

Compared to his former self,

Xu Zimei had undergone a complete rebirth.

"Not bad, not bad at all," a figure materialized in the void – the True Martial Great Emperor, regarding Xu Zimei with a smile.

"You have indeed taken another significant stride forward."

"Thank you," Xu Zimei replied.

He understood implicitly that had the True Martial Great Emperor unleashed his full might earlier, he would never have had the opportunity to comprehend the Dao.

However, the Emperor had refrained, instead facilitating his enlightenment.

"Since you have achieved your objective, I can no longer hold back, lest you come to underestimate me."

The True Martial Great Emperor declared.

"Today, I shall allow you to truly experience the formidable power of a real world."

As the True Martial Great Emperor concluded his statement,

behind him, the diminished silhouette of the Yuan Central Continent gradually became visible.

This shadow was no mere apparition; it was forged from the concentrated power of the Yuan Central Continent itself.

In essence, this was a manifestation conjured by the True Martial Great Emperor to effectively deploy his overwhelming strength.

"Suppress!"

Without recourse to elaborate pronouncements, a solitary word was uttered.

In that very moment, the Firmament itself seemed to solidify.

Colossal stars began their descent from the heavens, hurtling towards Xu Zimei.

Even with the augmentation of the Ten Million Great Dao,

Xu Zimei felt an overwhelming, irresistible force bearing down upon him.

The power of his Great Dao faltered, and even his very blood seemed to freeze in place.

All formidable forces were utterly restrained and held captive.

Against the vast might of the World's Power, the strength of humanity was infinitesimally small.

With a deafening 'boom.'

Witnessing the celestial body plummeting, Xu Zimei instinctively thrust his hands upward in a futile attempt to intercept it.

Yet, any comparison between the two was utterly nonexistent.

Subsumed by the star's formidable force, his entire being was cast down, completely stripped of any ability to resist.

A thunderous roar reverberated through the heavens and the earth.

The overwhelming suppression emanating from the star fully enveloped Xu Zimei.

The ensuing battle concluded at this precise juncture.

There was no further necessity for engagement, as the True Martial Great Emperor now stood as the undisputed apex of this entire realm.

Wielding power that was unmatched.

It was entirely logical that the incomplete form of Xu Zimei could not withstand such an onslaught.

Furthermore, the True Martial Great Emperor had harnessed the immense power of the Yuan Central Continent.

Had he not, subduing Xu Zimei would not have been achieved with such apparent ease.

...

Having reclaimed the Yuan Central Continent, the True Martial Great Emperor's brow furrowed slightly.

In that crucial instant, Xu Zimei ought to have been utterly crushed into submission.

However, at the very precipice of defeat, he detected a peculiar aura.

An aura that even the Yuan Central Continent seemed to harbor a degree of apprehension towards.

Although that aura manifested only momentarily, the True Martial Great Emperor's keen perception remained unimpeded.

He cast a scrutinizing gaze upon Xu Zimei.

He understood that Xu Zimei undoubtedly possessed his own hidden reserves.

Yet, he found himself incapable of deciphering the true nature of these secrets.

Could it be that, akin to himself, he was drawing power from a World residing within a Lower Realm?

...

At this very moment, a vast, bottomless chasm yawned open upon the ground's surface.

This profound void assumed an oval configuration.

It was the immense impact crater left behind by the Yuan Central Continent's forceful suppression.

Xu Zimei's form was discovered lying within the depths of this chasm.

His limbs, and indeed his entire physical structure, were almost entirely buried beneath the debris.

Xu Zimei's eyes fluttered open, yet he made no immediate move to rise.

Instead, he focused on discerning the nature of the oppressive force that had just subdued him.

At that critical juncture, he had tentatively engaged the Divine Continent that resided within him.

He discovered that in the face of the Yuan Central Continent's might, the Divine Continent not only remained unfazed but possessed the capability to overpower it.
