Chapter 2369: Endless
the ring"Chu Yun only felt a tremendous force pressing down on him, incredibly heavy."Really… someone else took it! I'm not lying!" Chu Yun roared.Chen Luo stepped harder on Chu Yun's cheek with his..."Lao Fang, how do we calculate this"
When silence returned, Lin Batian from afar looked at Fang Yu and used divine sense to transmit a voice.
Fang Yu glanced in Lin Badatian's direction, and a small amount of residual thunder power was still flickering.
But in front of him, Zhenlong was dead without a trace.
"Technically, I won," Fang Yu said. "Zhenlong died in my hands, about a second and a half before you."
"I'm not going to stand for that! I clearly should have been a second ahead of you." Lin Batian's half-body black flames quickly dissipated, and he smiled, "Even with Thunderstorm, there wouldn't even be time to cast a second Xian Yuan in front of me."
"But the residual power of his thunderous force, though negligible, still lingers. Fang Yu said, "As for Zhenlong, he's dead, utterly and completely."
"That's because his second immortal source is a physical cultivator, so there was no residual aura..." Lin Batian shook his head.
Whoosh...
Then, he flew towards Fang Yu's location.
"Well, let's call it a draw this time. We'll continue next time." Fang Yu said.
"You can do it that way. You promise me one thing, and I'll promise you one thing in return." Lin Batian said.
"Isn't that the same What's the point" Fang Yu raised an eyebrow.
"Otherwise, the whole match just now would have been for nothing. This way it's more interesting," Lin Baitai said.
"...Do you want me to..."
"What are you doing" Fang Yu looked at Lin Batian and asked.
"I haven't decided yet, I'll think about it later. You do the same, you can ask me to do something now." Lin Batten said.
"Let's talk about that later. I don't have anything for you to do right now," Fang Yu said faintly.
After some back-and-forth, Fang Yu summoned Xingyu Zhou again, put on the Kongxu Ring, and continued to rush towards the location of the star in the Xinguo Alliance.
As for the two renowned Celestial Lords of the Kaishan Alliance...they remained forever in the boundless and endless expanse of the starry sky.
If this matter were to leak out, it would inevitably cause a massive upheaval.
Two great celestial lords died at the hands of others… This is something that has never happened in the Xuanyuan Realm for so many years.
Not only the Kaishan Alliance, but also the Xinghuo Alliance and Chu Xuan Alliance would not be able to sit idly by.
That's two Heavenly Lords!
The existence of late-stage immortals!
Within the realm of Xuyu, it is considered second only to the level of existence of the three major alliance leaders!
Their defeat means that a truly powerful force capable of changing the balance of power between the three major alliances has finally appeared!
This is extremely dangerous information!
……
To be honest, the late Immortal Realm is still very strong.
On the Starry Ark, Lin Baitai said to Fang Yu beside him, “If these thousand years weren’t spent in the Land of Doom, I might just be a mid-stage Earth Immortal cultivator today, completely incapable of fighting these Heavenly Lords.”
With your talent, you shouldn't be subject to the Grim Reaper...
"And it will also advance rapidly in other places," Fang Yu said, "These so-called celestial monarchs are just big figures within the virtual abyss. If they were placed in other areas of the main dimension, they wouldn't necessarily be considered very powerful cultivators."
"I suppose that's true, but Lao Fang... I spent over a thousand years in the Great Plane before reaching my current level, enduring countless trials. You just arrived in the Great Plane not long ago, and you can already crush opponents of this caliber... That's simply too monstrous." Lin Batian shook his head in admiration, "With such a short timeframe, there's no way for you to have made such significant progress. It can only mean... that you already possessed strength close to your current level when you were on the Great Heavenly Star, or even back on Earth."
"Thinking about it...you already have the strength of a celestial being on Earth... Isn't that too outrageous!"
Fāng Yǔ shook his head and said, "That's not the case."
As for my own capabilities, Li Huo Yu had actually explained them vaguely before.
That is the limitation.
Fang Yu had been cultivating on Earth for nearly five thousand years, and he was stuck at the Qi Refining stage. This was due to some kind of restriction.
And as time passed, coupled with Fang Yu's successive ascensions to two levels of planes, reaching the second level of the Kunlun Tower, the restrictions gradually opened.
This also made Fang Yu never feel pressure from the opponent.
For example, when I first ascended to the Great Heavenly Star, facing those who were far stronger than the Transcendence Period, the Heavenly Extremities...
realm, comprehension realm, even up to the transcendence realm and ascension realm powerhouses... In Fang Yu's intuitive perception, there was not much difference between them and the Nascent Soul and tribulation cultivators he had met on Earth.
It was really easy when we actually got into it.
After ascending from the Daxingchen Star to the Xuanyuan Realm, I saw true immortals who surpassed the realm of ascension.
So-called virtual immortals, dull immortals, earthly immortals... they just don't seem that impressive.
Although he was a fairy and knew they were far stronger than the ascended cultivators of the Ascending Realm, when it came to actually fighting... Fang Yu once again held the absolute advantage, not feeling even half a point of pressure.
It's obvious that this is because Fang Yu's strength is also improving and keeping pace with his opponent's strength gains.
However, the improvement in strength feels extremely subtle.
Apart from the numerical increase in realm level, Fang Yu didn't feel much. He could only discover his strength growth through battles.
Of course, that situation... is also difficult to explain to others.
...can only be explained as...the solid foundation laid in five thousand years of cultivation on Earth.
"If you also practiced Qi on Earth for five thousand years, you could do it too." Fang Yu said to Lin Batian.
"If I could, I would too." Lin Batang sighed and said, "I used to think that after ascension it would be a paradise, but the result is... After ascending, it's just like that. It's the same as never having been there before, and there's no end to it. Going up one level..."
"Back up... Endless."
"Just like those so-called celestial beings we encounter today, they are powerful, aren't they Are they immortals Well, what happens They still become subordinates of even stronger individuals, following their orders."
“All the information we got about immortals back then was positive, saying that after achieving immortality, they would be carefree and free from control… It’s all bull!”
"If one truly desires happiness and freedom, what realm must one attain to achieve it"
Lin Batten shook his head as he spoke, his tone filled with resentment and blame.
And Fang Yu agreed with that sentiment.
Cultivation seems to be a path with no end.
But in fact, it is also related to one's own desires.
If there is no particular desire, then it is perfectly fine to stop.
For example, after the tribulation period, they would no longer cultivate and rule the Earth, basically nobody could stop them.
>After reaching the Taichén Star, becoming a celestial being is the ultimate goal. If one chooses not to ascend further, they become a saint, the most revered figure in the eyes of all beings.
As for the realm within the Xuanyuan boundary, if one does not wish to venture outside, a Celestial Immortal seems to have reached their peak.
Some people choose to stop and be the head of a chicken rather than the tail of a phoenix.
But the vast majority of people will still choose to continue climbing upwards.
The human heart is like that, the more it sees, the more it wants. Desire is constantly expanding.
Of course, some of it is also due to necessity.
If you go that way, it's a dead end.
