Breaking the Shackles of the Soul
Ling Tian felt something being created in his body, like some kind of mysterious object or artifact and that it was attracting all kinds of energies.
His Dantian trembled fiercely, his Consciousness Sea shook and his power went wildly on rampage. The energy around him gathered much faster and filled every corner of his body.
Then, a more powerful force formed in the heaven and headed towards Ling Tian.
* Boom! *
The force bombarded Ling Tian fiercely and the giant Heavenly Sword in the sky seemed to disappear at any moment as this force attacked Ling Tian.
Ling Tian gritted his teeth as he finally felt the true force of Heaven's Will, wanting to restrain everything on him!
The shackle layer soon began to affect his soul and, together with the fierce and horrible Primordial Chaos Force, destroyed every cell and blood of Ling Tian.
The Heavenly Sword became fuzzier and its strength was reduced, but it still kept advancing against the formation and wanting to destroy it.
Ling Tian's aura was greatly reduced and his strength dropped by several levels; countless shackles that could be seen with the naked eye and were made of Heaven and Earth imprisoned at Ling Tian, pushing him down as his power dropped further and further.
"Looks like this world doesn't tolerate your existence! Hahaha!" Mo Leng noticed this and saw hope in being able to kill Ling Tian.
What seemed like a hurricane, like a huge torrent of spiritual energy, was gathering in Ling Tian's body, which was progressively suppressing him.
"Once we succeed in killing you, we will obtain your legacy and the sacred items of legend that helped you reach the Supremacy!" Mo Ling shouted excitedly as he finished executing the most powerful technique together with his brother.
Again, a strange circle like the previous one formed, but this time, it seemed to contain more trace of world principles and a hint of mysterious strength.
The pair of lights followed each other, as if they were fish swimming and forming the circle without interruption. The world force seemed to be attracted to these lights and strengthened it.
"If we were fighting in our peaks, we wouldn't even have the guts to do it! But now that you're being suppressed by the Heavenly Law, you won't be able to show your true strength and we'll have more opportunities to kill you!" Mo Leng roared as if he was about to get what he wanted the most as they looked with killing intent at Ling Tian.
Everyone could clearly tell that Ling Tian was being suppressed by the Laws of this lower plane, therefore, he would not be able to show his true strength. It was as if the Heavenly Law seemed to only attack Ling Tian and wanted to suppress him completely.
Moreover, the formation they had made could be used as for attacking and defending, so they had practically won!
"Hmph! You're looking at yourself too high!" Ling Tian snorted coldly as he looked at the technique both brothers had done. His body and strength were under unimaginable suppression, but he still didn't give up.
It would take more than Heaven's Will to break him...
The next moment, the world seemed to subvert as they felt that heaven was earth and earth was heaven. The world of clouds and blue landscape was beneath their feet, while mountains, rivers and land met their heads.
The luminous spheres moved and fiercely struck Ling Tian, knocking him back as he spat out more blood.
Ling Tian could no longer feel his body, let alone feel pain, with the layer of shackles trying to suppress everything.
Again?
Ling Tian felt that all these forces combined, both Heaven's and both brothers who managed to gather the strength of the world, was resembling the scene from a while ago when he confronted against the Great Dao.
"Do you think you can suppress me and wait for me to not really do anything!"
Ling Tian roared towards the heavens, angry at the Heaven's Will and the Great Dao who had never left him alone and hindered his path.
This was the third time he had found himself in such a situation and, above all, always in a weak condition where he did not have his full strength. If anyone else were in his situation, it is feared that they would have long ago given up or, worse, met their death.
Ling Tian's Soul shook fiercely, breaking through a layer of shackles deep within and releasing a mysterious energy that flowed throughout his being and calmed the energies within.
The talismans attached to his body finally could not resist and shattered, making an explosion and radiating energy everywhere.
All of Ling Tian's fury finally exploded and a chill filled the world as a breath flowed out of him.
Ling Tian's jet black eyes changed and glowed a golden color, exuding a majesty and power as the strength in his body exploded into several layers!
A shadow flew into the sky and dispersed before gathering again and covering the entire world.
Yun Mengxin felt a resonance in her soul on another level! With her soul filled with unimaginable joy and love!
This was a unique and long longed-for feeling that seemed to awaken and reach her again!
The shadow seemed to sweep away the clouds, as if they were a hindrance as it grew larger and larger.
Ling Tian felt like he could finally breathe easier as the suppressive force in his being subsided by a large amount. A flood of emotions, memories, knowledge, strength and more combined with him and made his soul grow to another level.
His understanding increased in every aspect and Ling Tian seemed to see the world opening up in another layer for him, as if he could control every part at will and be in control. His hand lightly grasped the space around him and faded away like dust before recreating itself and looking like a mirror that was reconstructed without losing even the smallest crystal, leaving it as good as new.
The True Heavenly Sword seemed to gain more strength as it once again became stronger and more solid, starting to create a few small cracks in the barrier of the formation.
Mo Leng and Mo Ling knew that this was the end and they had to give it their all as well. Ling Tian seemed to be at the end of the arrow with that unexplainable power he gained, probably from forcing his cultivation base into a huge power surge.
The others in the formation felt the breath of death and didn't spare any strength to want to survive. Every trace of Immortal Essence and Spiritual Energy poured completely over the formation, fueling it to the point of burning their own blood essences and immortal essences.
Their faces and bodies paled at the loss of blood and energy, consuming vast amounts of years of life to gain more power.
* Lightning! *
* Boom! *
A bolt of lightning came from the sky and struck the formation, but unfortunately did little damage.
It was as if the Heavenly Law of this lower plane was not strong enough to break through these high-level defenses.
Another lightning bolt shot towards Ling Tian. But Ling Tian snorted coldly and the lightning scattered.
Clearly the Heavenly Law was like a joke and could not affect them at this moment.
The brothers and immortal cultivators were under the protection of the immortal artifacts, while Ling Tian defended himself with his own mysterious energy flowing into him.
"Our Master found this Yin-Yang force and achieved the Supreme! We learned this technique from him and this will be the cause of your death! Now we can control the world! Ling Tian, you can't win!"
Mo Leng and Mo Ling shouted with happiness and madness at having control of the world. If they said it was heaven, it was heaven. If they said it was earth, it was earth. The whole world was at their feet.
Ling Tian took a deep breath and faintly looked at this kind of magic they had performed. Indeed, this had the step to ascend to the next level. This kind of power could not be fought with strength, but needed yet another kind of power.
Too bad they encountered Ling Tian, especially now that he had reached a new understanding.
"You're right." Ling Tian couldn't help but nod as he contemplated this technique and had the sea of clouds beneath his feet. His mind was now calm, as if he had everything under control. His gaze seemed indifferent and even with some contempt and ridicule. Then he said, "With this understanding and mystery you would have a better chance of advancing to Supremacy, but..."
Ling Tian raised his hand and made as if to erase something in the space in front of him.
"The world is not only controlled by Yin and Yang. It takes five more elements to be able to motivate the true force of the world and destroy everything in its path... or even to be able to build from scratch a special place."
The sea of clouds stopped, the wind currents stopped, the lightning stopped, the rivers stopped, the cracks in the earth stopped... everything stopped...
Only breathing could be heard at this moment, as if time had stopped.
"However, there are other forces more powerful than these energies..."
Ling Tian finally began to use all his might and energy that he could, slightly recalling that feeling again in the face of true battles and especially when he could control the true World Principles of the entire Immortal realm at will.
Then, as if it were an illusion, the scene again subverted back to normal. But this time, the change was much more profound as the clouds began to move rapidly across the sky.
But it wasn't because they were being carried by the wind, but because time was passing in the blink of an eye!
The sun came out and illuminated the world, with light and warmth covering every space!
Then, the moon took its position and night came, with darkness and cold reaching every corner of the world!
The cycle of day and night moved faster to the point where the seasons of the year became discernible.
Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter!
The warm breeze of spring, the unbearable heat of summer, the fall and transition of autumn, the freezing cold blizzard of winter!
All the seasons were experienced in a lifetime!
Everyone's minds saw the scene happening, but they were not so quick to process them, as if a thin layer was before their eyes and prevented them from seeing deeply.
Mo Leng and Mo Ling were lost in feeling as they watched this scene. Their minds seemed to reach a new level of comprehension as they understood what the true state of Supremacy really meant.
They now understood that they were like frogs in the well. Even their Master would not be able to be able to do this at his peak, let alone in the state Ling Tian was in.
Ling Tian looked at the almost impenetrable formation and barrier protecting the Mo brothers and so on. This barrier made of water and combined with the strange cauldron would be very difficult to break through, even using the True Heavenly Sword.
After all, the type of defense was very high and might not be destroyed on the first strike.
But Ling Tian condensed all his energy and raised his hand, pushing the Heavenly Sword with his energy, while at the same time trying to expel all his strength and power pulsating inside him.
His Soul that was being affected by both the Will of Heaven and the Force of Primordial Chaos, finally burst out by untying himself from the chains that restrained him.
Then, the shadow in the entire sky condensed and materialized in all its splendor, radiating a golden light as it shook the entire world, bringing a feeling of majesty, superiority and supremacy to all when a wild roar pierced every corner of the Heavens and the Earths, penetrating all dimensions of the void to the great realms and shaking the entire universe...
* ROAR!!! *
