Eternal Emperor's Path to Ascension-Chapter 281: Power Of The Upper Realm, Strongest Attack VS Greatest Defense

Calling out the True Name and Dao or Dharma Title of an Immortal could make the other person instantly aware of the changes in the fate threads and karmic lines, no matter how far away the person who called out was, as long as their Providence or cultivation was not higher than the Immortal's or they were not in a higher level world, the Immortal could locate them at will and observe them.

Thus, it was forbidden for cultivators below the Immortal Realm, or "mortals", to call out the True Name, Dao Title or Dharma Title of an Immortal in the Upper Realm unless they were allowed to by the specific Immortal. Otherwise, it was extremely disrespectful, and the "mortal" could have their soul evaporated from existence for crossing this line.

As the Venerated True God of Divine Fortune's gaze landed on Hong Xuanchen, a trace of helplessness flashing past his eyes.

This child is too ignorant of the outside world. He actually mentioned my Dharmic Dao Title for such a small matter.

In an instant, he realized why Hong Xuanchen called out his Dharmic Dao Title.

Hong Xuanchen could be considered a true genius by the Upper Realm's standards, possessing the greatest talent among all his disciples, which was why he taught him personally until he reached the Nascent Soul Realm.

Hong Xuanchen possessed the Divine Patterned Spiritual Bones, a Innate Talent on the same level as the Celestial Sword Heavenly Spiritual Root. Moreover, with a great opportunity, it could upgrade to become Divine Patterned Sacred Bones.

Because of this, his cultivation potential was extremely great. He attained the Golden Core Realm at 27 years old and Nascent Soul Realm at 58 years old. Right now, at the age of 289, he was at the Grand Perfection of Half Immortal Realm.

This was the difference of cultivating in a high level world such as the Nine Great Immortal Worlds of the Upper Realm and a low level world such as the Nine Great Mortal Worlds of the Lower Realm.

Immortal Qi that's everywhere in the Upper Realm is countless times stronger than Spirit Qi.

It is extremely normal for a genius of Hong Xuanchen's calibre with the Divine Patterned Spiritual Bones to reach the peak of mortal realms in less than 300 years.

However, this speed of cultivation is only for the mortal realms of cultivation. After reaching the Immortal realms, cultivation speed slows down tremendously, and that's why one can find Half Immortals in every corner of the Upper Realm, and even Vagrant Immortals could be said to be the same.

Only beings above the Vagrant Immortal Realm are considered true experts in the Upper Realm, far and few between.

After all, to surpass the Vagrant Immortal Realm, one needs more than just the Immortal Qi found everywhere in the Upper Realm. Vagrant Immortal Realm is also the peak of mankind.

If one were to compare it with the Lower Realm, then all beings below the Vagrant Immortal Realm are merely "mortals" in the Upper Realm, while the Vagrant Immortal Realm holds the same status as that of the Foundation Establishment Realm.

The Upper Realm, without a doubt, was far too strong.

And yet, even beings on the Venerated True God of Divine Fortune's level couldn't blatantly ignore the Upper Realm's heavenly rules and descend down to the Lower Realm in person.

He had originally sent Hong Xuanchen on a mission to let him gain more experience along with a few low level cultivators from a Immortal City under the Ancestral Heavenly Family.

Hong Xuanchen had no experience in the outside world at all, and he had been cultivating most of the time in his almost 300 years of life. The only people he had interacted with were a few senior Immortal Deities of the Ancestral Heavenly Family along with the Venerated True God of Divine Fortune.

And because of his special talents, he was an extremely arrogant person. This was why the Venerated True God of Divine Fortune wanted to get him to experience the outside world more.

This was also why he sent Hong Xuanchen to the Lower Realm.

There was a saying in the Upper Realm.

"Never underestimate an Ascender." ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com

An Ascender referred to a being who had ascended from either the Lower Realm or the Myriad Worlds to the Upper Realm.

The younger generation of powerful Immortal forces had to understand this principle more clearly because they were the most impulsive. The older generation already knew how terrifying an Ascender could be.

It was because the environment of the Upper Realm was extremely favorable and good for cultivation, those who were born in the Upper Realm basically encountered little to no bottlenecks, and resources were abundant, meaning the life and death situations encountered by them were also very few. This didn't mean that the Upper Realm was safe, but that the Upper Realm's individuals weren't too strong in combat power in the same realm.

Although the Spiritual Energy and other means of theirs were far better and purer than the cultivators in the Lower Realm, the latter had emerged after carving a path of blood amidst billions and trillions of living beings, after all.

Not just that, Ascenders generally were extremely old compared to individuals of the same realm in the Upper Realm.

Thus, their schemes and wisdom was far beyond the latter as well.

Major powers in the Upper Realm always maintained a good relationship with Ascenders because of this and even helped them. Of course, if a truly powerful being took action, then Ascenders were really nothing.

Immortal Gods from the Upper Realm had also lived for a long time and experienced many things, after all.

At this moment, seeing the situation in the Lower Realm, the Venerated True God of Divine Fortune frowned. Even though he could see everything in the Lower Realm, he couldn't use his Divine Sense, and neither could he see through the essence of all things that an Immortal could naturally do without even Divine Sense, such as reading the fate, karma, and past lives of a mortal etc.

After all, the heavenly rules were still there.

Thus, he couldn't really understand the origin of the person Hong Xuanchen was facing.

But after a while, he finally understood.

The Celestial Sword Heavenly Spiritual Root from Kunlun Divine Mountain who had cut off all connections with the Ancestral Heavenly Family!

The Venerated True God of Divine Fortune's eyes once again held endless indifference, undeterred by the passage of time and the rotation of heaven and earth.

He wanted to see just how powerful the Celestial Sword Heavenly Spiritual Root truly was and how much threat he possessed.

He already knew that Hong Xuanchen could not defeat Tian Yun the moment he laid his eyes on the latter. It was the intuition of an Immortal, which was never wrong.

...

At this moment, in the Lower Realm.

Second Great Mortal World.

Tian Yun and Hong Xuanchen confronted eachother, both exuding with unstoppable momentum as the surrounding pressure continued to increase before reaching a certain peak. At this point, no being below the Half Immortal Realm within a radius of tens of thousands of miles could even look up at the figure of the two, while those at the Late Stage of Half Immortal Realm and below could barely keep their gaze upwards.

"I'll remember your name."

Tian Yun's cold voice resounded across the sky as the Sword Intent surrounding him began to rise, a spiritual sword of pure Sword Intent slowly forming in the air. At the same time, his Spiritual Energy shot up wildly, enveloping him in a purple glow.

Dharma Avatar Manifestation!

Hong Xuanchen didn't waste any time either, flames enveloping him as Fist Intent surrounded him, transforming into two huge hands as the flames and his own fiery Spiritual Energy condensed into a flaming red Dharma Avatar. He was a Body Cultivator!

The mortal world's heavenly rules trembled as both Dharma Avatars became nearly a hundred thousand feet tall.

The purple Dharma Avatar condensed by Tian Yun held a divine sword formed from pure Sword Intent, and the red Dharma Avatar condensed by Hong Xuanchen clenched its huge fists, terrifying Fist Intent brimming within them.

This was a battle between a Body Cultivator and a Sword Cultivator.

In the Lower Realm, it was said that Swore Cultivators were the best in terms of offense, and Body Cultivators were the best in terms of defense.

In other words, this was not just the battle between two beings who had reached the pinnacle of Sword Cultivation and Body Cultivation in the Lower Realm, but also the battle of the strongest attack and the greatest defense.

*Swoosh!*

*Crackle!*

As Tian Yun raised the sword in his hand, Hong Xuanchen hooked back his arm. Sword Intent and Fist Intent roared like primordial beasts, instilling fear into countless beings near the battlefield.

*BOOM!*

With a loud sound that spread throughout heaven and earth, both attacked at the same times, and the surrounding hundred thousand miles were instantly destroyed from the sheer aftermath!
