The Sims: I Open the Immortal Path for All Beings Chapter 2317 - 2262–2263: Forbidden Divine Power, Taoist Monarch Unmatched_2

"Hehe, you hypocritical humans, still full of those pompous speeches even at this moment. Your kind's real goal is nothing more than to treat our Desolate Beast clan like mere cattle, with such wicked schemes! So what if we slaughter a few insignificant humans? What could you possibly achieve?" Blood soaked the sacred form of the Nine-tailed Xuanxing Scorpion, while the armor-like scales across its back lay completely fractured, impaled right through by Xuan Lingzi’s ultimate spell, leaving even this formidable Nine-tailed Xuanxing Scorpion unable to mend itself quickly.

Trailing after him, nine tails thrust upward toward the heavens. Though pushed into a corner, the Nine-tailed Xuanxing Scorpion still harbored fierce determination deep inside. A mystical stellar display burst forth at his rear, slicing into the domain of the Celestial Stars, as though forging a link to the stars' immense force.

Boundless, enigmatic, and mighty, the stars hold secrets that even genuine immortals in the Divine Land World have failed to fully uncover; likely, not even the Great Emperor Ziwei, ruler of the stars, can peer into every concealed mystery among them today.

As the stellar display took shape, a colossal shadow of the Nine-tailed Xuanxing Scorpion loomed into view. Every one of its scorpion tails stood tall between sky and ground, as if stabbing straight through the starry river, embodying the timeless supreme ruler.

Awe flickered across Xuan Lingzi’s features, like he confronted the one unmatched being across all creation, with an unending presence flowing down from above.

"Xuan Lingzi, you’ve driven me to unleash this taboo art, tapping into the stars' might to link sky and earth, paving the cosmic pathway. Death is your only fate now!" Fury echoed in the roar of the Nine-tailed Xuanxing Scorpion.

"Hehe, a futile last stand!" Though Xuan Lingzi’s face grew grave, he sneered, summoning the Nine-Star Divine Banner to pull in stellar energy as well, unleashing punch after punch with force that could rend the cosmos. However, the massive shadow of the Nine-tailed Xuanxing Scorpion halted them all without effort.

Shock twisted his features, refusing to believe it. Sure, the Human Immortal Path hadn’t fully shaped the Innate Demonic God Physique, yet it remained a force of staggering strength. A single all-out blow could force even certain Taoist Monarchs focused on non-physical paths to pull back, careful not to dismiss the danger.

But right then, a starry barrier conjured by the Nine-tailed Xuanxing Scorpion’s shadow held firm. No flood of spells from Xuan Lingzi, not even yanking down stars to smash them apart, could shatter its defense.

Savage murderous resolve gleamed in the Nine-tailed Xuanxing Scorpion’s gaze. From the day it emerged into existence up to now, never had it endured such deep shame.

Activating the taboo art, it knew its end had been sealed.

"Even if my body falls and my spirit shatters, I’ll take you along as my grave companions!" Endless lethal fury burned in the Nine-tailed Xuanxing Scorpion’s eyes. Such forbidden arts demand a heavy price, no matter the user.

"Nine stellar tails, everlasting firmament, I alone endure, one strike defies the heavens!" Amid the stars, the Nine-tailed Xuanxing Scorpion’s nine tails whipped wildly, its gaze brimming with deadly purpose. Vast cosmic essence surged through it, setting its sacred form aglow with twinkling lights, as if it suffered endless torment in fiery trials.

Stellar might flooded into its frame right away, turning it into a boundless cosmic river. Even Xuan Lingzi sensed a wave of smallness within himself.

Up against the raw stellar force, Xuan Lingzi’s eyes flared wide, his fists blurring in motion like they ignited with raw vigor, spell energy churning wildly, as the Nine-Star Divine Banner fused together into a single Star Divine Spear.

A world-rattling blade gleam cut across the stars, poised to stab straight into Xuan Lingzi’s chest and nail him in place. That blade flash moved with blinding speed, reaching Xuan Lingzi in a blink, razor-sharp and dripping with fatal intent.

Calmness held on Xuan Lingzi’s face as he seized the Star Divine Spear lightly, his divine presence unyielding as a fortress. With a swift spin and jab, no extra flourishes, he embodied the ultimate Dao master—amid heaven and earth’s intricacies, the Grand Dao boiled down to simplicity. In that instant, he revealed the pinnacle grace of the Xuantian Sect Leader, where across creation, no matter the host of godly skills or peak spells, a lone spear sufficed to pierce through, demolishing every barrier.

Resembling a holy lance cleaving primordial disorder, requiring only one drive forward—even bare of extra godly might, wielding peak force to erase the void—at that very moment, Xuan Lingzi grasped a sudden insight.

His jab carried the power to wipe out this entire realm; the blade gleam dissolved, leaving only spear will lingering between sky and land, the spear’s outline spanning the firmament, crimson haze spraying outward, silence gripping the world, as if daylight burst back to life in a flash, mists and vapors clearing away, with just Xuan Lingzi’s figure hovering in the air, his form splashed with gore, yet his gaze restored to steady poise.

Here lay the fall of the Nine-tailed Xuanxing Scorpion, sovereign of Desolate Beasts, a Quasi-Taoist at True Immortal’s Sixth Layer, mere moments from rising as the Beast Emperor Taoist Monarch.

While these two dueled fiercely, deep in the Chaos Void, Pei Xuanjing’s clash with various Taoists drew to a close.

The Sword Emperor unleashed a horrifying sword Dao, yet his projection couldn’t withstand the sheer intensity of his own blade way. That sword Dao threatened Pei Xuanjing greatly, but the backlash caused his projection to fade away.

Naturally, though Pei Xuanjing held a slight edge, his projection suffered heavy losses too. Without the Sanbao Jade Ruyi’s safeguard, this projection could have actually perished under the Sword Emperor’s assault.

Thus, despite ending in the Sword Emperor’s loss, this fight carried profound weight for numerous Taoists, at minimum showing that Pei Xuanjing wasn’t absolutely unbeatable.

Freshly risen Dao Lords might lack the power to endanger Pei Xuanjing, but seasoned ones like the Sword Emperor, committing everything, could deal serious damage.

Naturally, views differed among cultivators based on their levels and might. Certain powerhouses witnessed this and concluded Pei Xuanjing held no true invincibility.

Still, other powerhouses spotted Pei Xuanjing’s deeper horrors. Notably, during his duel with the Sword Emperor, Pei Xuanjing also battled the Witch God Sect Leader and Zhu Jiuyin at once.

Ever since Zhu Jiuyin joined, he wielded Time Laws repeatedly, yet failed to wound Pei Xuanjing, while Pei Xuanjing subdued him with ease.

Famous for commanding Time Laws beneath the Grand Path of Might, those Time Laws unleashed dreadful force through Zhu Jiuyin, the time-ruling Demon God, showing command over select laws rivaling some ancient Taoists.

Nevertheless, despite his grip on Time Laws, he couldn’t overcome Pei Xuanjing’s projection.

In the end, the Witch God Sect Leader, watching from afar, held out no longer and teamed up with Zhu Jiuyin for the strike. For the first time in that realm, these two experts in Time and Space Laws unveiled the fearsome strength of fused Time-Space Laws.

If solo Time Laws or Space Laws rate at ten in power, their joint assault surged to a hundred, far beyond basic summing— instead multiplying by ten in raw force.

The enigmas of Time and Space, channeling their essence to flip the Grand Dao itself, bridging eras and distances. These three titans didn’t merely linger in the Chaos Void; they appeared to plunge back into history, leaping ahead to what’s yet to come.

This marked the ultimate clash of divine arts among Taoist Monarchs. Their struggle stretched over all of history, the now, and tomorrow, with endless battles playing out.

Yet, where other Taoist Monarchs might secure only their current might, Pei Xuanjing stood mighty across history, now, and tomorrow—flawless, untouchable, unbound, revealing no clear vulnerability.

How could this not highlight Pei Xuanjing’s supremacy? A single projection of his matched foes commanding Time and Space Laws, even birthing a taboo Time-Space form, fully affirming his top spot among All Heavens and Seas Taoist Monarchs—unshakable, beyond challenge or topple!

Longevity Taoist Monarch, All Heavens and Seas Taoist Monarch, forever undefeated!
