Transmigrating over ten thousand years late, I was forced to become a mighty presence - Chapter 542

Chapter 542: Chapter 240 Heaven Overturning Seal_1
 

For thousands of years since the fall of the Clarity Void Exalted One, Bai Yun had never been as elated as he was today.

Eight thousand years ago, several grand cultivators renowned across all realms mysteriously perished, including the Clarity Void Exalted One, whom all cultivators revered.

As a disciple of the Clarity Void Exalted One, upon learning of this, Bai Yun secretly plotted to steal the Clarity Void Ruyi Scepter, sever his foundation of cultivation, and flee to the Primal Chaos Realm.

Utilizing his knowledge of the Clarity Void Exalted One, Bai Yun disguised himself as the severely wounded Exalted One and descended into the Little Clarity Void Grotto Heavens. Relying on his cultivation that surpassed those of the Primal Chaos Realm and the divine skills of an Immortal, he successfully intimidated the local Immortals and solidified his claim to the name of the Clarity Void Exalted One.

The Clarity Void Ruyi Scepter was forged by the Clarity Void Exalted One after achieving enlightenment, using the fundamental essence of the Path of Refining Elemental Qi of the heavens. Although it was only a Half-Step Boundary-Opening Treasure, it represented to some extent the Heavenly General Great Divine Power mastered by the Clarity Void Exalted One.

For eight thousand years, Bai Yun constantly meditated on the remnants of the Tao that lingered within the Clarity Void Ruyi Scepter, hoping to harness the power of that half-step Boundary-Opening Treasure to grasp that particular Heavenly General Great Divine Power.

For this, he did not hesitate to secretly slaughter the Immortals of the Little Clarity Void Grotto Heavens, consuming the flesh and Primordial Spirits of those Immortals to nurture his own body.

After enduring eight thousand years of hardship, Bai Yun finally saw a glimmer of hope in seizing the Heavenly General Great Divine Power.

But when he was about to make the final step, someone else had already comprehended the Heavenly General Great Divine Power before him.

The unique characteristic of Heavenly General Great Divine Power, which exists only once in all worlds, erased all related information, destroying his eight thousand years of arduous cultivation in an instant.

If it weren’t for the profound eight thousand years that allowed him to deduce the existence of the Heavenly General Great Divine Power based on the remaining information, he wouldn’t even have realized that he had missed out on this Great Divine Power.

Taking advantage of the Primordial Elemental Qi tidal wave sweeping across realms beyond the Primal Chaos Realm, Bai Yun confirmed that the master of the Heavenly General Great Divine Power was indeed within the Primal Chaos Realm. He thus issued a decree for the inhabitants of the Little Clarity Void Grotto Heavens to search for clues of abnormalities in the Qi of heaven and earth within the Primal Chaos Realm.

In truth, Bai Yun did not harbor much hope for this method. After all, the master of the Heavenly General Great Divine Power was no ordinary person and the Little Clarity Void Grotto Heavens might not be able to find traces of them.

What Bai Yun was truly planning was to wait until the world’s rules of the Primal Chaos Realm were fully restored, then incarnate himself and slaughter all the beings of the realm, thereby allowing the Heavenly General Great Divine Power to return to the heavens and the earth.

Although this method was extreme, Bai Yun believed it was the most effective means.

Yet to his surprise, within less than a year’s time, the people from the Little Clarity Void Grotto Heavens actually brought back news.

The moment Bai Yun projected his decree, he ascertained that Shen Yuan in front of him was indeed the master of the Heavenly General Great Divine Power.

The Secret Realm Square Inch was founded on Primordial Elemental Qi, evolving the Qi of heaven and earth to set the rules of this realm. Such prowess, even if placed in the Upper World, would be beyond most Qi Refinement cultivators.

As the disciple of the Clarity Void Exalted One, Bai Yun had witnessed the Exalted One using such means to establish the order of a world. The techniques of the Secret Realm Square Inch almost perfectly mirrored those of the Clarity Void Exalted One.

In that moment, even though Bai Yun’s memory of the Heavenly General Great Divine Power had been erased, the Primordial Elemental Qi of creation he encountered within the Secret Realm Square Inch continuously triggered the residual information deep within his consciousness.

Information related to the Heavenly General 36 Divine Powers emerged one by one, only to be discarded by Bai Yun, leaving behind only one conclusion.

His eyes fixed upon Shen Yuan, the corners of his mouth lifted in a strange curve.

“Heavenly General Great Divine Power, Nine Breaths Qi Absorption!”

That voice, devoid of any warmth, emanated from Bai Yun’s mouth, blending silently with the heavens and earth before it could even propagate.

In the next moment, as if a roar from the realm itself, thunderous sounds erupted above the sea of clouds.

Bolts of immense lightning tore through the firmament, descending towards the Cloud Firmament Tao Palace, while winds howled as the skies seemed to be pierced open by a massive hole, allowing billions of tons of rainwater to pour through.

Bai Yun’s words seemed to enrage the realm itself, as thunder, gales, and rain manifested into a scene akin to the end of the world.

The Tao Palace above the sea of clouds trembled at this moment, as the vast Secret Realm Square Inch was relentlessly washed by the descending rain, transforming into numerous waterlogged countries.

In the face of such terrifying celestial phenomena, Bai Yun’s face still held a casually eerie smile, seemingly unaffected by the thunder, wind, and rain surrounding him.

At this moment, he was as if standing apart from the Secret Realm Square Inch, untouched by the wrath of the heavens and the earth.

“Anger, or fear after being exposed?”

Bai Yun stepped across the clouds, each step smoothing out the space deliberately disturbed by Shen Yuan, drastically shortening distances to merely a step away.

Wondrous Tao Divine Power, Shrink Land into Inches!

In an instant, he traversed space to appear before Shen Yuan, his gaze filled with indifference and condescension.

“Regardless of which it is, your end will only be one: your soul shattered, letting the Heavenly General Great Divine Power return to the heavens and earth.

That is not a power you can wield!”

His right hand slowly rose, his index finger pointing towards Shen Yuan’s forehead with a gradual motion.

In that instant, time seemed to stop, everything in the Secret Realm Square Inch frozen, save for the slowly advancing finger towards Shen Yuan’s forehead.

Wondrous Tao Divine Power, Instant Time!

The Wondrous Tao Divine Power, which involves the manipulation of time, was almost unheard of in the Primal Chaos Realm. Shen Yuan maintained his sword-wielding stance, seemingly powerless to resist the imminent death.

But… in the next moment, a clear ring of a sword’s chime broke the silent stasis, shattering the stillness.

A Sword Intent, seeming to span the ages, confronted Bai Yun’s finger. Zhuming Chengye and Year End Freezing Weather—two forces representing the cycle of sun and moon—exploded in an instant, merging with the Time True Intent within the Darkness-Light Sword to sever the magic of that fleeting moment.
