While Others are Leveling Up, I Alone Will Cultivate Until Mahayana Before Making My Move Chapter 1518 - 534: This Isn't the Ending I Wanted (Double-Length, Grand Finale)
Previously on While Others are Leveling Up, I Alone Will Cultivate Until Mahayana Before Making My Move...
"The fundamental purpose of the Great Dao was to shatter the constraints of the world, ensuring that future generations would possess a chance at equality with the heavens!"
Su Xing let out a soft sigh.
"Yet, he met with failure in the end... though he broke the world and the heavens apart, he perished from sheer exhaustion!"
"Few realize that following his demise, no one remained capable of proving the Dao through strength..."
Su Xing shook his head slightly.
The true intent behind the Dao was to demolish the boundaries of heaven and earth; only through such an act could an existence truly arise that surpassed the Saints and stood as an equal to the heavens!
This is because the heavens forbid any Cultivation realm to exist above that of a Saint.
Consequently, while Saints occupy the peak of power, they remain under the suppression of the heavens!
By breaking those celestial shackles, the Dao ensured that constraints no longer existed above the Saint realm.
He had established a new upper limit for every living soul beneath the sky!
The sole tragedy is that the Dao is no more!
Had he survived, perhaps a being truly transcending the Saints would have walked the earth!
But with his passing, the world remains fractured and incomplete. Now, it is difficult for even a Saint to be born... let alone someone who surpasses them?
Su Xing shook his head again, his heart filled with a mixture of reverence and sorrow for that ancient entity known as Dao from eons past.
To attempt to tear down the walls of heaven and earth just to pave a higher path for those who followed...
What sort of monumental strength and grand ambition must that have required?
Unfortunately, the Dao has fallen, and the later generations have failed to live up to his legacy!
The world never again witnessed Cultivators as magnificent as those from the primordial era.
Forget about moving beyond the Heavenly Dao—now, reaching the level of a Saint is a feat no one can accomplish...
"Is it truly that grueling to prove the Dao through strength?"
Su Xing inhaled deeply, feeling the crushing weight of agony and pressure bearing down on him.
Even with his current power, he felt pushed to his limits while facing the Immeasurable Tribulation...
One must remember that before he even officially attempted to prove the Dao through strength, Su Xing was already a Fleshly Body Saint!
"No... even in the ancient times, it was exceptionally rare for anyone to prove the Dao through strength; the difficulty must be beyond imagination..."
"Furthermore, back then, they likely had the Dao to support them, meaning the resistance from the Heavenly Dao wasn't quite as overwhelming..."
"In this era, I must stand alone, which naturally makes the ordeal much harder..."
Realizing this, Su Xing stopped holding back and revealed his final hidden card.
Beyond being a Fleshly Body Saint, Su Xing possessed other formidable assets!
"If this is the pressure of the Heavenly Dao... then let one world clash against another!"
"Spirit Domain, manifest!"
As Su Xing spoke those soft words, his entire Spirit Domain rolled out!
Currently, Su Xing's Spirit Domain stretched across a staggering twenty million miles!
While it remained within the category of a Great Thousand Worlds, its internal power had multiplied many times over.
Just as expected, the moment the Spirit Domain expanded, the crushing weight on Su Xing’s shoulders lightened significantly!
At its current stage, Su Xing's Spirit Domain functioned as a tangible, real world.
Even though the strength of a Great Thousand Worlds was still insufficient to directly challenge the Heavenly Dao or the will of the Pangu Great World...
It provided enough of a buffer to shield Su Xing from a portion of the world's wrath.
Under these conditions, the burden of enduring the Immeasurable Kalpa became far more manageable!
And so, a protracted war of attrition commenced.
Relying on his peerless physical durability, his deep comprehension of the Great Dao, the essence of his world, and his vast array of techniques, Su Xing eventually held his ground against the tribulation.
A day passed... then a month... a year... a decade...
A full century went by!
Su Xing could sense that through his relentless struggle, the power of the Pangu Great World was slowly being drained.
Even the Heavenly Dao and the world itself have finite reserves of energy!
Because the Heavenly Dao must maintain the balance of all things, it cannot focus its entire might solely on destroying Su Xing.
In a situation like this, the one who persists is the one who triumphs!
Finally, after more than a hundred years of steadfast endurance...
One day, that horrific pressure suddenly receded like a falling tide!
Su Xing thought he could feel a flicker of resentment emanating from the heavens themselves...
Nevertheless, the outcome was decided!
With the successful completion of the Immeasurable Kalpa, Su Xing felt an unprecedented surge of power integrate into his being!
Violent waves of mana began to circulate and nourish Su Xing’s internals.
He could feel an invisible internal shackle finally snapping apart at this very moment.
Simultaneously, magnificent celestial omens filled the space between heaven and earth.
From above the Nine Heavens, a pillar of white light descended, carrying infinite Great Dao insights that began to reshape the surrounding hundreds of millions of miles.
Golden radiance erupted from the ground, manifesting as thick Immortal Qi that drifted in every direction.
Any mortal who breathed it in underwent an immediate ascension, reaching the Immortal realm in the blink of an eye!
A mysterious melody began to resonate through the world.
An otherworldly voice of unknown origin vibrated within the soul of every living Cultivator.
"The Cultivator Su Xing, utilizing the Law of Space as his core, has overcome the Ten Tribulations of the Saint. After enduring for over a century, he has proven the Dao through strength... and attained the Dao Fruit of the Saint!"
As the echoes of that ethereal voice faded, every being within the Pangu Great World turned their eyes toward Su Xing’s location.
At that same moment, a unified realization struck the hearts of everyone in the Pangu Great World.
Their purpose was fulfilled!
Meanwhile, the Ninth Layer of Heaven began a systematic collapse, layer by layer...
...
The turbulent chaos of time and space that had persisted for countless ages finally dissolved into nothingness!
The entire temporal existence of the Pangu Great World, from the highest Saints to the lowliest mortals, vanished instantly... like smoke scattering in the wind!
Watching this unfold, Su Xing seemed to reach a new level of understanding.
With a single stride, he departed from the spatial debris of the Ninth Layer and returned to the Eighth Layer.
Before his departure, Su Xing spotted two faint figures within that space-time that appeared remarkably solid.
His heart jumped; within the Ninth Layer of Heaven, the only genuine entities were the Ancestor of the Blood River and the Heavenly Secret Pavilion Master!
Thus, Su Xing stepped forward, materializing right in front of the Ancestor of the Blood River, who had just regained his lost memories.
Before the Ancestor could react to the shock, Su Xing delivered a single palm strike.
In an instant, the Ancestor of the Blood River was reduced to absolute nothingness...
As he vanished, a weathered and ancient small mirror drifted out from the remains of his body.
