Chapter 4853: Supreme Path of Power

An hour or so later, Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan emerged from the Qunyang Pagoda, their expressions normal. They exchanged five Blood Pearl Fruits for various Dao materials, including one Great Dao Seed. This brought their total to seven Great Dao Seeds obtained during their trip to Qunyang Immortal Realm. This was possible because they hailed from an immortal cultivation family and were willing to trade Blood Pearl Fruits for Great Dao Seeds—something rogue Dao Sovereigns would never do.

Having made substantial gains from this trip, Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan did not linger and headed directly for the exit. After leaving Qunyang Immortal Island, Wang Changsheng summoned a green flying boat and stepped aboard, with Wang Ruyan following closely. Wang Changsheng performed a hand seal, and the green flying boat glowed with a dazzling green light as it ascended into the sky, soon disappearing into the horizon.

Seven days later, the green flying boat halted above a vast, boundless azure sea.

"Fellow Daoist, you've been following us for so long; it's time you showed yourself!" Wang Changsheng said with a frown.

The seawater churned and surged, and a blue-robed elder, his body covered in blue spiritual patterns, emerged. Judging by his aura, he was an early-stage Dao Sovereign.

"Why isn't your accomplice showing themselves? How long do they plan to hide?" Wang Ruyan's tone was icy.

"You knew we were following you? And you still dared to stop," a woman's voice, tinged with surprise, rang out. As soon as the words fell, a yellow light illuminated the void, revealing a gigantic, yellow-glowing leaf—a flying Dao artifact. A graceful woman in a yellow dress stood on it; her yellow eyes indicated she was not human.

"Fellow Daoists, please don't misunderstand," the blue-robed elder said sincerely. "We mean no harm. We merely wish to exchange for a few Blood Pearl Fruits. We can offer Dao materials in return, how about it?"

"What if I refuse?" Wang Changsheng rejected the offer without ceremony.

"Then we'll take them ourselves," the yellow-dressed woman's tone was cold.

As soon as her words fell, the blue-robed elder struck out with his palm. A colossal blue palm flashed forth, imbued with the power of over a hundred Great Daos, and shot directly towards Wang Changsheng. Wang Changsheng summoned the Golden Splendor Blade, and with a swing of his blade, a massive golden saber light swept out to meet the attack. The golden saber light collided with the colossal blue palm, which instantly disintegrated.

"A Heavenly Dao Artifact!" The blue-robed elder was filled with both surprise and joy. He quickly summoned a short saber, constantly shimmering with blue light. He examined it closely; the blade was covered in cracks and even lacked a hilt. With a swing of the saber, a massive blue saber light flashed forth to meet the golden saber light. The two saber lights collided, annihilating each other.

A fierce wind arose, and a yellow tornado swept towards them, instantly reaching Wang Ruyan. Wang Ruyan summoned the Profound Sound Flute and began to play. A joyful flute melody rang out, and a blue sound wave swept forth, colliding with the yellow tornado. A deafening roar erupted as the yellow tornado burst apart, sending countless yellow sand particles flying and dancing in the wind.

Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan felt their vision blur, and they found themselves above a vast, boundless desert. Fierce winds raged, and countless yellow sand particles soared into the sky.

"A Dao Realm!" Wang Changsheng's brow furrowed. He swung his blade, and a massive golden saber light swept out, striking the desert. The desert split in two, but it quickly returned to normal. Gusts of wind blew, and countless yellow sand particles coalesced into gigantic yellow palms, heading straight for Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan.

"We thought you only had Blood Pearl Fruits," the yellow-dressed woman's voice drifted from the sky, "but we didn't expect you to possess Heavenly Dao Artifacts. We'll gladly accept them."

"Heh heh, cultivating diligently and comprehending the Great Dao is too slow," chuckled the blue-robed elder. "Killing and plundering treasures is much faster."

They possessed Heavenly Dao Artifacts and over a hundred Great Daos, specializing in preying on Dao Sovereigns with lower cultivation. They had interacted with Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan earlier, having exchanged Great Dao Seeds with them.

"You dare to manifest a Dao Realm constructed from just over a hundred Great Daos to trap opponents?" Wang Changsheng sneered. "Who gave you such courage?" Dazzling blue light erupted from his body. He threw a punch, and the power of dozens of Great Daos coalesced into a colossal blue fist that shot directly towards the ground.

With a thunderous bang, the Dao Realm shattered. The yellow-dressed woman spat out a mouthful of vital blood, her eyes filled with horror. "A Supreme Great Dao!" she exclaimed. "You actually master a Supreme Great Dao!" They had killed over a dozen Dao Sovereigns, but at most, these opponents had mastered more Great Daos; none had mastered a Supreme Great Dao. Any Dao Sovereign who mastered a Supreme Great Dao would not be an unknown figure. Since she had not mastered a Supreme Great Dao, the Dao Realm she created simply could not withstand the attack of a Supreme Great Dao; it shattered with a single strike.

The blue-robed elder was greatly alarmed and was about to flee when a joyful flute melody rang out. Both the blue-robed elder and the yellow-dressed woman felt their heads sink, becoming dizzy and disoriented. The environment before them changed. The blue-robed elder and the yellow-dressed woman found themselves in a vast, boundless sea, where gigantic waves surged to the sky and fierce winds raged.

A Dao Realm!

"Fellow Daoist, spare our lives!" the blue-robed elder pleaded. "It's a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding." All along, relying on their Heavenly Dao Artifacts, they had killed over a dozen Dao Sovereigns. None of these Dao Sovereigns possessed Heavenly Dao Artifacts, nor had they mastered a Supreme Great Dao, so they were no match for their opponents.

"It's too late for that now," Wang Changsheng scoffed. "Didn't you enjoy using a Dao Realm to deal with us? I'd like to see how you escape." Wang Changsheng snorted coldly. He performed a hand seal, and the seawater churned and surged, transforming into blue water dragons—manifestations of Great Dao power. The blue water dragons lunged at the blue-robed elder and the yellow-dressed woman, who quickly activated their Heavenly Dao Artifacts to resist. Wang Changsheng used the power of the Great Dao to attack them, while Wang Ruyan activated her Dao artifact to assist from the side.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the blue-robed elder and the yellow-dressed woman were killed. Wang Changsheng captured their souls and performed a soul search, learning of their past deeds.

Having eliminated the two Dao Sovereigns, Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan obtained two storage bracelets containing over a hundred Dao Stones, more than thirty types of Great Dao origins, two Heavenly Dao Artifacts, over four hundred Dao materials, three Blood Coral Pills for refining the physical body, and two Great Dao Seeds. The more than thirty types of Great Dao origins were all Great Daos already mastered by the blue-robed elder and the yellow-dressed woman. Having no further use for them, they hadn't refined them and intended to exchange them with other Dao Sovereigns for the Great Dao origins they needed. Wang Changsheng had already mastered the Great Dao of Water, so he would keep the acquired Great Dao of Water origin for exchange with others.

"A horse won't grow fat without extra fodder at night, nor can a man become wealthy without a windfall," Wang Ruyan sighed. "If it were other Dao Sovereigns, they truly wouldn't have been their match." In this battle, Wang Changsheng's mastery of the Great Dao of Soul played a crucial role. Had he not swiftly broken the opponents' Dao Realm, it might have been them who perished.

"They brought this upon themselves," Wang Changsheng sneered, "daring to scheme against us."

The blue-robed elder and the yellow-dressed woman had become Dao Sovereigns over a billion years ago. Initially, they had not considered killing and plundering treasures and had been cultivating in seclusion. However, their strength improved slowly. After killing one Dao Sovereign later on and obtaining a windfall of resources, they tasted the benefits, and it was then that they embarked on the path of killing and plundering treasures.

Wang Changsheng performed a hand seal and controlled the green flying boat, carrying them away from the area.
