Chapter 648 – Cultivation Itself Is Defiance Of The Heavens! (1/2)
“I think….” Right at this moment, Yang Ye suddenly started speaking.
Xiahou Xuan was slightly stunned, and then he gazed at Yang Ye as he wanted to see what this dying man intended to say.
Yang Ye gazed at those 4 characters that floated above him and said, “What is cultivation? Cultivation is an act of seizing resources from the world, it’s an act of using the energy in the world to strengthen oneself, so that one’s aspirations and desires can be fulfilled. Cultivation is an act of going against the heavens for survival. So, cultivation itself is defiance of the heavens. So, what sins have I committed by killing the Mortal Emperor and defying the heavens?”
“How absurd and heinous!” Xiahou Xuan shouted.
However, a strand of violet energy suddenly surged out from within Yang Ye, and then an ethereal paG.o.da enveloped him. The words ‘Primordial PaG.o.da’ could be faintly noticed on the paG.o.da.
Xiahou Xuan was stunned. Suddenly, the ethereal paG.o.da shot into the air and smashed against the characters ‘笔伐口诛’.
Bang!
A huge explosion resounded as the characters were obliterated!
All who witnessed this scene were stunned, and even Xiahou Xuan was stunned. He gazed with disbelief at the ethereal paG.o.da and said, “How could this be possible? How could this be possible?”
Meanwhile, a strange force enveloped Xiahou Xuan, and then the profound energy within him surged madly before entering Yang Ye. Moreover, it wasn’t just his profound energy, his spirit, energy, and essence had surged madly out of him and shot incessantly into Yang Ye as well….
He was suffering from backlas.h.!.+
Xiahou Xuan howled like a madman, “No! This is impossible! It’s impossible! Yang Ye, you’ve gone against the Mortal Dao, Heaven Dao, and Saint Dao. How could I suffer backlash instead! How could this be possible?” However, regardless of how he screamed, the essence, spirit, and energy within him was still surging out incessantly before entering Yang Ye’s body in quite a strange manner.
Moreover, Yang Ye’s cultivation was rising explosively at an extremely horrifying speed!
The first rank of the Spirit Realm!
The second rank of the Spirit Realm!
The first rank of the Exalt Realm!
The second rank of the Exalt Realm!
The third rank of the Exalt Realm!
…
“Senior, what exactly is going on?” Ding Shaoyao heaved a huge sigh of relief before she gazed at the Demon Emperor who stood by her side.
The Demon Emperor gazed at the ethereal paG.o.da above Yang Ye and shook his head, “I’m not very sure. But it should be related to what he said. Even though it sounded absurd and heinous, it makes sense if you think about it carefully. The essence of cultivation is actually defiance of the heavens. Otherwise, the heavens wouldn’t send down its divine punishment when we advance into the Monarch Realm and Saint Realm!”
“Senior, you mean it was because of what Yang Ye said? Cultivation itself is defiance of the heavens actually encompa.s.ses the essence of the Grand Dao within it? And that was why Xiahou Xuan suffered backlash from his technique?” asked Ding Shaoyao.
The Demon Emperor shook his head and said, “Yang Ye was punished earlier, and that was sufficient to prove that Yang Ye’s actions had really violated the Mortal Dao and Heaven Dao. While I’m not aware of the actual reason behind why Xiahou Xuan is suffering such backlash, it's definitely related to what Yang Ye said and the ethereal paG.o.da above him!
Ding Shaoyao was quite speechless because the Demon Emperors words didn’t explain anything!
Xiahou Xuan had jet black hair when he arrived here, but it was snow white now. His face had transformed from its handsome state to become covered in wrinkles. As for his eyes, while there was still a little life in them, they were filled with terror and disbelief….
Yang Ye’s cultivation was still rising.
Xiahou Xuan was a peak ninth rank Exalt Realm expert, and he was one that hadn’t relied on external forces to attain such a cultivation. Now that his cultivation was being completely transferred to Yang Ye, Yang Ye’s cultivation naturally rose explosively. However, the speed at which Yang Ye’s cultivation rose had finally started to show signs of slowing down when he attained the ninth rank of the Exalt Realm!
The ninth rank of the Exalt Realm! Yang Ye opened his eyes, took a deep breath, and then formed an intent sword in his grasp. He sheathed it within the ancient sheath before swiftly drawing it, and then a beam of violet sword energy shot into the sky. Everywhere it pa.s.sed, an enormous rift was torn open in s.p.a.ce, and this rift reached the clouds. He said, “The Mortal Dao? Heaven Dao? Saint Dao? All of you can f.u.c.k off! Regardless of what Dao it is, I’ll slash away anything that stands before me!”
Bang!
As if it was a reply to Yang Ye’s words. The sky suddenly dimmed downed, and then dark clouds filled the sky. After that, a dark black pillar of lightning rumbled down from the sky and descended towards Yang Ye!
“Black lightning…. The heavens are actually treating Yang Ye like a defiant profounder!” The Demon Emperor was slightly confused when he witnessed this scene. Because black lightning had only appeared in the legends, or to be more precise, it had only appeared over 100,000 years ago when the Heaven Dao fought the defiant profounders. Yet now, it had appeared again, and its target was Yang Ye. The Heaven Dao was actually treating Yang Ye in the same way that it treated defiant profounders….
