The Way of The Dao

"Amazing..."

Long Yuyin murmured as she saw Ling Tian's faint, blurry image through the portal. Her eyes showed adoration and fascination, as well as obvious infatuation and love. Her fists clenched her daggers tightly, wanting to be as strong as him.

"So this is what our husband looks like when fighting for real..." Tang Wanying nodded at Long Yuyin's comment, her eyes also watching Ling Tian's imposing figure that seemed to convey security and confidence despite being a single image.

Zhang Xinya and Mu Shuiruo also stared at Ling Tian's image, nodding at the other women's comments.

After seeing that Ling Tian was fine and he had even hurt the man much more unlike him, they relaxed very much. They even sent their best wishes for Ling Tian to triumph, but they were surprised and shocked by the brief confrontation between the two, realizing that they were really a far way from Ling Tian in terms of strength and power; although they had grown up and experienced many fights in the past few days, these were nothing compared to what Ling Tian had done in just a few seconds.

They could even feel the pressure through the image, as if they felt the sky falling on them.

"I don't think he made all his effort..."

Yun Mengxin frowned as she witnessed the brief fight between Ling Tian and the old man. She knew Ling Tian perfectly well and knew that he hadn't even made half of his effort, so he simply seemed to be testing his enemy.

But Yun Mengxin also sensed Hang Liang's change at the last moment, as if it was something ominous.

The women blinked at Yun Mengxin's comment, wondering how strong and powerful Ling Tian is for Yun Mengxin to say such a comment. They could not even see his movements clearly having fought a few moments ago!

Then, once again, the women were surprised when they saw Ling Tian's slight movement getting ready, for the first time holding a slight battle stance while still watching the enemy.

....

"You have the breath of the true power of the universe! Hahaha!"

Hang Liang began to laugh as if he had made a breakthrough or found something magnificent. His complexion and aura shot up greatly, as if he had taken a powerful medicine and began to demonstrate his great potential.

Ling Tian was also surprised and thought that Hang Liang had discovered the Sacred Heavenly Scriptures in him!

But his intuition was still latent that he did not release his power and expressed to him that it was not related to the power of the Sacred Heavenly Scriptures, but something else.

The true power of the universe?

Ling Tian frowned as he did not understand what Hang Liang meant by that.

'The little sprout in my Consciousness Sea?' Ling Tian thought quickly and the only conclusion he could come to was the mysterious sprout in his Consciousness Sea that absorbed so much of his spiritual energy and made it stronger as well. He had first used his spirit sense to prevent the destruction of the place and close the cracks of the void, so it was certainly the most feasible thing to do.

The only thing different and unknown to him at the moment was that mysterious sprout in his Consciousness Sea.

Hang Liang stared at Ling Tian, but this time, it gave Ling Tian a different feeling, as if he could see through his mask. But Ling Tian knew that he could not see him yet, but simply his expression had changed to a deeper and more serious one.

Ling Tian was not surprised by Hang Lian's expression. Ling Tian simply frowned as he noticed the different change in his aura, as if Hang Liang was preparing himself.

His hand lightly clenched the hilt of the sword and his body slightly positioned itself, finally feeling his alarm instincts fully triggered.

"I really hoped that we could exchange moves in the future, and even get to know each other as worthy adversaries... hah..." Hang Liang sighed and shook his head. Then, his usual arrogant and superior look disappeared and only an indifference and seriousness filled his eyes that looked at Ling Tian, "But now that you have the power of the universe in you, I'll have to take it!"

Hang Liang disappeared from the scene instantly, slightly shrinking Ling Tian's pupils as he saw the change in speed and pressure.

* Bang! *

Ling Tian went flying when he was unable to counter Hang Liang's attack. His arm went slightly numb, feeling his organs twitch slightly in pain as he recovered and stopped in midair.

The difference in power and strength could be seen at first glance.

Hang Liang was slightly surprised to see that Ling Tian was intact, but soon his expression became full of indifference and calmness.

The sky darkened and some lightning flashed across the horizon, announcing their arrival at the site....

Ling Tian steadied himself in midair and stared at Hang Liang, frowning more. His numb arm slightly recovered and he finally felt some pressure on his body.

The two swords in the sky that had almost disappeared returned to form once again, attracting as much energy as they could.

Ling Tian quickly thought and also became serious, the speed Hang Liang showed was nothing like it was a few moments ago!

"Looks like you haven't shown your full strength before either."

Hang Liang spoke calmly, nodding in acknowledgement towards Ling Tian.

"But as a good opponent, I will give you an end worthy of you because you made me use half of my strength!"

Hang Liang disappeared from the scene again, moving through the space law and teleporting in front of Ling Tian. His sword flickered and slashed towards Ling Tian as he locked him in an unknown force, sealing the space around Ling Tian and trying to prevent him from escaping through teleportation.

Unable to escape through teleportation by means of space law, Ling Tian tightly clenched the hilt of the sword and slashed in Hang Liang's direction, pushing his body's flesh strength to the limit!

Ling Tian's sword tore through space in its trajectory, encountering Hang Liang's sword, creating a powerful explosive wave and destroying the remaining crystals and mirrors in the place!

Ling Tian and Hang Liang clashed swords with each other, neither of them backing down as they stood face to face.

Hang Liang looked at the dragon's eyes in the mask, as if looking directly into Ling Tian's eyes.

Ling Tian also looked indifferently and seriously at Hang Liang. The power that Hang Liang demonstrated really rivaled that of those expert opponents from the past, affirming Ling Tian that they really seemed to come from the same place. Moreover, Ling Tian could clearly sense that Hang Liang was suppressing his cultivation base to avoid being rejected by the laws and principles of the world. Although Hang Liang had a cultivation base in the Great Ascension realm, the power emitted completely surpassed the realm.

After a few seconds, they both tacitly withdrew slowly, moving a few meters away.

The two giant swords in the sky finally stopped attracting energy and were suspended in the air, as if waiting to move at the slightest sign.

"I knew it, you're more than just a young man... perhaps a reincarnated supreme expert?" Hang Liang narrowed his eyes without taking his eyes off Ling Tian to immediately shake his head and say, "It's impossible, everyone has only one life and it is impossible to remember past lives, much less reincarnate, as well as find your other past soul... the great dao is unpredictable and so far no one can contradict it..."

Hang Liang spoke honestly without going ahead to sneak attack. His gaze had recognition and nod towards Ling Tian, as if giving him the respect and dignity as a great opponent. Although Ling Tian was hiding his face, Hang Liang did not mind and simply acknowledged him for his strength.

Ling Tian frowned when he heard Hang Liang's words.

Where had he heard some similar words before?

"I can't let you go, much less let you live..." Hang Liang turned serious again and looked straight at Ling Tian, shouting, "You have the power I need!"

Then, the giant sword above the sky at Hang Liang moved swiftly, straight towards the other giant sword and Ling Tian!

Ling Tian and Hang Liang flashed between the folds of space, tearing the entire sky in their trajectory to the point of meeting and colliding with the swords. The horrible forces of the void finally exploded out of the space fissures, devastating everything in their path.

The two giant swords met at the same time as Ling Tian and Hang Liang attacked each other's swords, causing chaos as they destroyed the mountains and valley all over the place.
