The Sims: I Open the Immortal Path for All Beings Chapter 2314 - 2260–2261: Starry Years, Xuanxing Scorpion’s Opportunity

For the Jade Emperor at present, his pursuit lies in achieving equilibrium among powers, or maybe ensuring steadiness across different groups, allowing him to navigate through them and optimize his personal gains.

Pang Hong's rise to Taoist Monarch poses a serious danger to the agendas of multiple powers linked to the Shenxiao Sect, yet to the Jade Emperor, it means little. Actually, it represents a favorable development.

In the end, without Pang Hong's elevation to Taoist Monarch, those seasoned Daoist Monarchs would have settled into equilibrium on their own and turned greater focus toward opposing him.

However, with Pang Hong's arrival, these long-standing Daoist Monarchs now recognize the Shenxiao Sect as an enormous menace, so they will shift their focus elsewhere, buying him additional precious time.

With these thoughts in mind, the Jade Emperor's face eased up: "Today I come bearing the Will of Heaven and Earth. Since senior brother has ascended to Taoist Monarch, naturally I need not entangle further."

Once he uttered those words, the Jade Emperor turned and left without the slightest delay.

Pang Hong gave a smile and a nod, fully aware that the Jade Emperor grasped his circumstances, so he held back any further comments.

Right then, the clash between Xuan Lingzi and the Nine-tailed Xuanxing Scorpion finally ignited.

The immense starry form of the Star God Giant radiated stellar splendor, while the silhouette of the Xuantian Star World spun swiftly in his wake. His gaze held no feelings, as though he had cut off all connections, harboring only the Great Dao in his soul, dedicated entirely to his journey, carving through obstacles ahead. Over his head, the Star Crown materialized, merging his Essence, Qi, Spirit into unity, unleashing a fearsome might!

"The Star Dao, upon touching the Star Dao, one can deem it a stroke of blessed fate!" muttered the Great Emperor Ziwei, clad in the Star Emperor Robe, speaking mostly to himself.

As for Xuan Lingzi's pursuit of the Path of the Stars in cultivation, the Great Emperor Ziwei harbored no aversion, but instead a sense of respect deep inside.

Such is the assurance of the mighty. He held no doubt that Xuan Lingzi treading the Path of the Stars could ever endanger his position, not even with Taoist Monarch Xuantian's backing.

No single Great Dao suits a Taoist Monarch to claim alone; lacking enough followers, how desolate that road would grow, unable to thrive onward.

The embodiment of the Star Dao took shape behind the Star Giant, his Star Crown as if mirroring the visage of every heaven. In that instant, the Star God Giant ruled over the Celestial Stars, with none bold enough to challenge him. He stared icily at the Nine-tailed Xuanxing Scorpion.

Nine Divine Rings encircled the Nine-tailed Xuanxing Scorpion, as nine tail stingers rose up, perched on his head like nine majestic spikes, razor-sharp beyond measure.

Facing the daunting Star Giant, the Nine-tailed Xuanxing Scorpion fixed his stare on the Star God King ahead, his expression grave yet free of any dread.

He trusted in his own prowess, outstripping his forebears as the Xuanxing Scorpion, forging a divine route, claiming supremacy over heaven and earth—these formed his grand visions.

The Power of Star offers vast aid to the Xuanxing Scorpion lineage; though the foe aims to seize it, the Nine-tailed Xuanxing Scorpion harbors the identical intent. Should he overcome the rival and claim this Star World, he could likewise ascend to Taoist Monarch.

"Come on then, Star Giant, Star God’s body—let this king behold your might, and see just how formidable it truly is!" In the midst of the blinding starlight, the Nine-tailed Xuanxing Scorpion's form appeared to merge with the void, his ghostly voice reaching the ears of powerhouses from every side. At that very moment, the world grew utterly still.

"Excellent! Excellent! Excellent! With resolve like yours, so be it!" Xuan Lingzi's eyes gleamed with intensity as he eyed his adversary, his spirit surging with delight. Stronger foes always promised richer rewards for him.

"I possess a single strike, called Star. Over countless years, I have clashed across realms, grasping the essence of stars, forging this blow, grasping the way of stellar destruction. Then, across endless epochs, I honed and refined this way with utmost care, all in preparation to enter the Realm of Taoist Monarch and rise as an unmatched powerhouse. The Star Divine Fist captures the Path of All Heavens Stars—one strike forth, stars vanish, eternity voids, nothing withstands it!" Xuan Lingzi's declaration resounded near the Nine-tailed Xuanxing Scorpion, his presence now swelling to even greater heights and majesty, resembling a colossus bridging heaven and earth, one palm upholding the firmament, feet planted on the ground, with stars twinkling overhead.

A weight settled in the Nine-tailed Xuanxing Scorpion's chest, sensing that the foe's words dripped with arrogance, utterly convinced of his victory.

"Star God’s Fist, eternity empties!" Driven by Xuan Lingzi, the Star Giant let divine radiance burst from its eyes, lifting its fists with deliberate yet pressing slowness, clasping them across its torso, as if birthing a Star World inside, before thrusting a blow laden with the vast force of heaven and earth, shattering eternity itself.

Faint traces of Time-Space Laws seemed to weave through it, turning gradually, as ages slipped away, vitality waned, and sorrow lingered. This marked the debut of Xuan Lingzi unveiling his ultimate technique, unleashing the mightiest attack of his existence in a blaze of glory.

"Ah, the power of time!"

"This goes beyond mere Power of Star—it's infused with the power of time as well!"

Certain powerhouses' faces twisted in shock; no one could swear they'd endure to see another dawn! True Immortals boast lifespans matching heaven and earth, but that's just duration—along the arduous road, endless rivalries rage, and only the true titans reach the summit, beholding heaven and earth's boundless vistas.

This strike enveloped the entire expanse of heaven and earth, dimming sun and moon alike; amid creation, solely stars gleamed, showcasing their inherent splendor, impervious to any force halting the stars' dance, reflecting heaven and earth's inherent rhythm, brimming with their colossal strength.
