So ti ago.
An Jing resolved his physical form, scattering the Taibai Law Prohibition making up his body into the Sea of Divine Powers unleashed by all the Heavenly Venerable Seals, in that instant before.
In An Jing’s heart, a thought erged that was the sa yet slightly different from those of all the Heavenly Venerable Seals.
"It seems, I’m going to lose."
Thinking this, he felt a sense of regret: "In the end, I cannot rely on my own power to stand against all the combined forces of the Heavenly Venerable Seals from ancient tis, can I?"
Yes, just as all the Heavenly Venerable Seals believed ’they themselves’ had been defeated, An Jing also felt ’he himself’ was close to defeat.
Having nearly reached the extre limits of the Divine Concealnt Realm throughout ti, almost impossibly strong, he was indeed a monstrous genius, a rarity through the ages.
But even so, in the face of all the Heaven’s Chosen throughout ti, there were still things An Jing could not accomplish.
In fact, in transforming himself into a sword, becoming a container of power, using the ultimate power reduction, leveraging the enemy’s power, and using the raging waves of the Sea of Divine Powers to sweep away the other imprints, An Jing had already reached his own limits.
Among the seven who stood at the peak of all the Heavenly Venerable Seals, he used all his strength to cut down three, while one remained watching without intervention, and when the remaining three joined forces, An Jing no longer had the power to forcibly slay them.
Ultimately, his ’Tao of Spirit’ was not truly one of the Four Immortal Professions.
If his ’Tao of Spirit’ were truly one of the Four Immortal Professions, recycling power back to use again might have been possible, but An Jing’s immortal industry of Spirit was simulated using Supre Yin and Sun Unlimited, and the Sun Unlimited of the Zhaolin Realm was far weaker than Embracing the Void, thus limiting An Jing’s output and causing it to be depleted.
He had no strength left to slash other Heavenly Venerable Seals and could only try to use the extre ’Way of Laws’ to borrow power, employing the newly comprehended ’Path of Destiny’ to endure, and using the foundational ’Nature’s Path’ to maintain his existence, attempting to achieve using others’ power to slay others.
With the enemy’s strength, return it upon them.
This indeed succeeded.
An Jing truly borrowed the power of all the Heavenly Venerable Seals to heavily injure the three top-tier Heavenly Venerable Seals, including the Mysterious Heaven Ceremony.
If the enemy consisted only of them, then the remaining Heavenly Venerable Seals would be unable to stir up any storm; victory would belong to An Jing.
However, there was still a seventh one.
The top-tier Heavenly Venerable who had never truly taken action from beginning to end.
Changdi Venerable.
This Creation Imprint from the Heavenly Mother Palace, stepping upon the lotus and holding a sword, her eyes as calm as autumn water, compassionate like the heavenly mother, never truly attacked, never showed hostility towards An Jing.
Yet similarly, An Jing felt an extre terror from this Heavenly Venerable Imprint.
[Nature] and [Destiny].
She mastered these two immortal industries.
Moreover, they were incomparably perfect, incomparably harmonious.
Although lacking a ’Way of Laws’ compared to An Jing, after observing An Jing for such a long ti, even though she was an imprint, she had gained so enlightennt.
Therefore, at the mont An Jing repelled the three Heavenly Venerables, when his mind and power were operating at their limit.
Changdi Venerable struck with her sword.
This sword aid straight at the [core] of An Jing’s existence.
It was not aid at flesh, nor at the soul. It was not such a simple thing.
Instead, it targeted the link between ’Heavenly Punishnt Cave Heaven’ and ’An Jing’s physical body’, the true lodestone of An Jing’s essence!
At the mont An Jing forged the Cave Heaven, the essence of his soul was the spirit of the Cave Heaven — even if An Jing’s physical body were destroyed, his soul’s true spirit would remain undamaged. As long as An Jing’s body had even a drop of blood, a speck of dust, to serve as a ’material coordinate’, the Cave Heaven could transfer material and energy from within, reconstructing An Jing’s physical body.
Using this, An Jing could take a deep breath and recover from the grievous injuries inflicted by the imprints of the One-Pushing Sword Venerable and Heavenly Venerable Tiankui.
Otherwise, their divine powers were enough to blast any Divine Repository who took a direct hit dozens or even hundreds of tis over.
To attack An Jing’s Cave Heaven, one first had to overco the defense of An Jing’s physical body, but to destroy An Jing’s physical body, one first had to break through or exhaust An Jing’s Cave Heaven reserves.
This was a flawless cycle; attacking the Cave Heaven required first breaking the physical body, while destroying the physical body required first depleting the Cave Heaven.
Therefore, An Jing’s perfection could not be seen through even by the Primordial Dragon.
Yet, Changdi Venerable saw through.
[Your body is the coordinate of your soul, though I cannot see where your soul truly resides, cause and effect always leaves traces. I just need to sever this, and you will no longer be invincible, no longer be perfect!]
Changdi Venerable’s imprint drew her sword, a sword as if made of blood, crimson and dripping; she swayed gently, the blade singing softly, then inch by inch dissolving, transforming into a rushing river of blood.
Her body also faded with it, becoming an endless sky. The whole person, along with her very existence, transford into a mighty flowing river of life, the blood river stretching across the sky, slashing towards An Jing!
At this mont, An Jing sensed an extre danger.
This was not a re ’cut’.
It was a kind of ’overlap’!
Changdi Venerable’s imprint, at the cost of her own demise, fully wielded ’her own existence’, transforming her existence into the purest [Nature] and [Destiny], aiming to directly overlay upon An Jing’s body.
In a sense, this was a kind of body seizing, and if Changdi Venerable could truly win against An Jing in spirit and will, if her will could overpower An Jing in their clash, her imprint could even use An Jing’s form to reappear in the world!
