I am Xiao Sheng

Chapter 1452 The Hidden Dangers of the Dao Struggle

Chapter 1432 The Hidden Dangers of the Dao Struggle
While Demon Ancestor Luo Hou and the others were discussing everything, the battle between Xiao Sheng and Heng Gu was becoming increasingly fierce and frenzied. Heng Gu activated the power of his bloodline imprint and received assistance from a host of chaotic beasts. His power was surging wildly. With the support of such a massive army of chaotic beasts, he unleashed his power with every move, each strike causing considerable impact on Xiao Sheng. He quickly turned the tide and gradually became evenly matched with Xiao Sheng in the battle!
"What a bloodline imprint! What a king of chaotic beasts! But you're not qualified to fight me with such methods. End!" With Xiao Sheng's deep shout, the Sword of End unleashed a terrifying light. However, this strike was not aimed at the Eternal Ones, but directly at the army of chaotic beasts. Xiao Sheng intended to use the power of End to sever the connection between the Eternal Ones and the army of chaotic beasts, cutting off their bloodline imprints.

"You're dreaming! Block it! Shield of Life!" Heng Gu roared, using the power of his bloodline imprint to activate the life essence of the chaotic beast army, forming an incomparably powerful Shield of Life that directly blocked Xiao Sheng's sure-kill final sword, stopping the world-destroying power!

However, this attack caused a slight shift in the formation of the chaotic beast army; their battle formation was impacted. This demonstrated just how terrifying and dreadful Xiao Sheng's sword strike was—it contained the combined power of an entire chaotic beast army.

"What a magnificent Shield of Life! Is this your understanding of the Great Dao of Life? Truly impressive. To be able to condense the power of the chaotic beast army into such a divine power is indeed terrifyingly strong." Seeing his Ending Sword's attack blocked, a hint of shock appeared in Xiao Sheng's eyes. Although he knew severing the blood ties between Heng Gu and these chaotic beast armies was no easy task, he hadn't expected Heng Gu to do it so easily.

What Xiao Sheng saw was only ease, but in Heng Gu's heart was extremely heavy. Xiao Sheng's sword had also had some effect on him, weakening his connection with the Chaos Beast Army. However, because the Chaos Beast Army was so large, no one could sense it for a while!

"Again, the final blow!" Seeing that his attack had failed, Xiao Sheng did not back down. He continued to swing the sword of finality in his hand and once again slashed at the army of chaotic beasts, trying to sever the power of the bloodline imprint on their bodies!

Faced with Xiao Sheng's attacks, Heng Gu once again invoked the bloodline imprint power of the Chaos Beast Army, continuing to unleash the supreme divine power of the Shield of Life, blocking Xiao Sheng's offensive power. The clash between the two, one attacking and the other defending, created a storm that grew increasingly terrifying in the chaos.

The repeated attacks and defenses led Xiao Sheng and Heng Gu to a stalemate, with neither gaining the upper hand. Now, they were no longer competing in terms of their understanding of the Great Dao, but in terms of the accumulation of their origins. Such a crazy collision left the onlookers somewhat dumbfounded.

"What's going on? Is Xiao Sheng just going to keep at it with Heng Gu, relying on his supernatural powers and accumulated origins?" The first to lose patience were not the God of Destiny, the Dao Ancestor Hongjun, or any of the other three thousand Chaos Gods and Demons, but rather the Primordial Golden Immortals who were born from Chaos Beasts. They had paid such a high price to activate the bloodline power of the Chaos Beast army, but this was the result. This was not the outcome they wanted at all.

Although these guys all wanted to know the combat strength of Xiao Sheng and Heng Gu, this situation was not what they wanted to see. It seemed that everything was very unfavorable to Xiao Sheng, after all, he had to face the combined forces of the Chaos Beast Army and Heng Gu, a battle of attrition. They didn't think Xiao Sheng could have the last laugh, but such a battle was of no benefit to them, and even made them fearful. Under such circumstances, both Xiao Sheng and Heng Gu might be able to unleash their potential under the pressure of external forces and complete a new round of transformation. Any transformation of either of them would be a disaster!
"No, we can't let this confrontation continue. If either of these two guys surpasses their own level of understanding, the battle will end. We need to break their balance and end this quickly!" Suddenly, a voice rang out among the Primordial Golden Immortals, worried that something might happen to Xiao Sheng and Heng Gu.

They had all witnessed how insane and monstrous Xiao Sheng was. Even the combined power of a massive army of chaotic beasts that Henggu had gathered couldn't defeat him, demonstrating Xiao Sheng's immense strength. If Xiao Sheng were to complete his transformation and evolution, it would be a disaster for them!
"Stop it? How can we stop it? Do you dare to show yourself or reveal your coordinates? If you have such thoughts, then do it yourself and don't drag us all into it. How many people are paying attention to this battle right now? As long as our coordinates are exposed, it won't be long before we face the same crisis. Do you understand?"

"What a joke! You think I'm clueless? Of course I understand perfectly. Have you considered whether hiding like this will do any good? This is an immeasurable calamity, and time is against us. Without experiencing any trials, how can we possibly forge our own path, how can we possibly complete our transformation and evolution? I think we must take a gamble, unleash our potential under that pressure, and complete our fundamental evolution and transformation!"

"You think this is not something you can decide, and your opinion is completely useless. This is an immeasurable calamity. You know that many people are watching this battle, even Pangu and the Chaos Dao are watching. Under these circumstances, according to your words, we are courting our own destruction. Before absolute power, no matter how much we scheme, it is utterly ineffective!" This statement resonated with many powerful Grand Luo Golden Immortals. They were all born from the kings of the Chaos Beasts, and they all had their own bloodline beast armies. However, they would not use them unless absolutely necessary. Unfortunately, now everything was out of their control. When these guys stimulated the bloodline changes of the Chaos Beast army, everything had changed. It would be a disaster for all of them, even a catastrophic one!
The Tao can be comprehended, but transcending it is not so simple. If you leave any leverage for your enemies, it will be a crisis for them, and may even drag them into a desperate situation. After all, there are too many powerful people watching this battle!

"That's right, this isn't something you can decide on your own; it's about whether we think it's feasible. Intervening in the great war at this time would definitely drag us into an immeasurable calamity, instead of allowing us to remain carefree as we are now. There's no gain without pain, but we can't afford such a high price. Do you understand?"

He understands, of course, but an ambitious guy will not compromise or give up even if he understands in his heart, because in his eyes this is his only chance. If he does not go all out, he will only have one way out after the opportunity passes!
"Hehe, Henggu, it seems your companions don't care about your life or death. They just want to use you to test my strength. Otherwise, with their ability to activate the bloodline imprint power of the Chaos Beast Army, they would naturally be able to lend you a hand. But we've been fighting for so long, and these guys haven't made a move at all. Don't you resent them?" After a prolonged and fruitless battle, Xiao Sheng suddenly asked Henggu, trying to get to the bottom of Henggu's mind!
"Xiao Sheng, you're wrong. Even if I had no connection with them, do you think they would risk their lives to participate in my great battle? And if you were killed, how would we divide the spoils? The temptation you offer is too great, so great that it would tempt everyone. Under these circumstances, how can I not be cautious!"

Good heavens, Henggu wasn't stupid either. He saw through Xiao Sheng's scheme immediately and refused. All intelligent beings have selfish motives, and Xiao Sheng was no exception. Faced with this situation, Henggu didn't believe that Xiao Sheng was capable of persisting for long. He believed that everything would change soon and that it would be the end of everything.

"This isn't caution, it's cowardice. They can scheme against you, using you as a pawn. Why can't you fight back, teach them a lesson, and show them your power? You are not someone they can use or control. You are a living, breathing Grand Luo Golden Immortal, and you have your own path!"

What a wonderful path to one's own! Xiao Sheng makes it sound so easy, which might tempt many people. But behind that temptation lies power. Without any power, how could one possibly control everything in this world? This is something none of them are willing to do!
"Enough! Don't try to tempt me. Even if you swear the highest praise, I won't believe you. We're not on the same side. You don't understand me, you don't understand my companions. Come on, let's fight! Let's end this with our own strength!" Despite Heng Gu's confident words, he didn't actually do anything. He was just shouting slogans without taking any real action. The more dangerous the situation, the more insane his schemes became!

"I don't understand you, nor do I understand your companions? It's laughable. You're all just scheming against each other, each one meticulously plotting, where's your courage? Seeing you like this reminds me of my past self, so lost. The path of cultivation is one of advance, no retreat. Now that you've embarked on this path, you shouldn't back down. You think I'm trying to seize your origin, to complete the battle for the Dao, to undermine your confidence, but you're wrong. I did have that thought before, but after fighting you for so long, my heart has changed. I've seen a different path. Your origin no longer holds any allure for me. What belongs to others will always remain theirs; what's yours is the best! The Dao is the same. Even if you lose this battle, I won't take your origin, but these chaotic beast armies cannot live!"

As soon as Xiao Sheng finished speaking, not only Heng Gu was shocked, but all the powerful figures who were paying attention to this battle were also shocked. They did not expect Xiao Sheng to say such a thing. What kind of enlightenment could make him make such a decision? It was a battle for the Dao, and a devouring without any hidden dangers, but Xiao Sheng wanted to give it up.

Of course, no one believed that Xiao Sheng, with his strength, would lie. For these powerful figures, it would be beneath them to do such a thing. However, they couldn't understand Xiao Sheng's current situation! Look at the Dark King and the Ten Directions Daoist before; they both schemed against Shi Chen and Yang Mei. But why did things change when it came to Xiao Sheng? What exactly happened? All the powerful figures wanted to figure this out, and even the Chaos Dao and Pangu had the same idea!
The Dao Struggle was something that not only the three thousand Chaos Gods and Demons understood, but the Chaos Great Dao and Pangu understood it even better. However, Xiao Sheng's words had a huge impact on them, casting a shadow over their hearts!
"Why? What changes have occurred in Xiao Sheng? Is it merely the effect of this battle? Can he truly reach this level of enlightenment? He was willing to give up the source he could have obtained. This is a battle for the Dao, with no hidden dangers. Why is this happening?" At this moment, the God of Cause and Effect could no longer accept this outcome. His mind had already begun to falter, as the impact of all this was too great!

It wasn't just the Gods and Demons of Cause and Effect who were confused; Hongjun Daozu, the Gods and Demons of Destiny, and Demon Ancestor Luohou were all affected. If even these guys who stood at the top of the three thousand Chaos Gods and Demons had such changes, one can imagine how many powerful beings in the entire prehistoric world, or even the entire Chaos world, would fall into confusion at this moment!
Unfortunately, no one spoke up to remind them or to awaken them. Whether they could escape their mental predicament and take this opportunity to temper their minds depended on their own destiny. After all, this was an immeasurable calamity, and even Pangu or the Great Dao of Chaos would not do such a thing. Since they had already fallen into confusion, this was the test they had to face.

At this time, you can't do something bad with good intentions. Even if you try to awaken these guys with good intentions, you might end up being blamed or even resented by them. After all, for strong people like them, having the opportunity to temper their minds is a great opportunity, provided that they can pass the test of their minds.

Human hearts are unpredictable, so neither Pangu nor the Great Dao of Chaos paid attention to the changes in these guys. Whether they could overcome the difficulties was not their concern. These two were more interested in seeing what Xiao Sheng would do next. They wanted to see what extent Xiao Sheng could achieve, and whether he could truly advance his own Great Dao in this great battle!
