Honghuang Taihuang

Chapter 385 The Mandate of Heaven and the Power of Authority

Of the four, only the Azure Emperor remained motionless. The moment Taiwei appeared, the Azure Emperor sensed the power of authority condensed and not yet released on Taiwei's body. Compared to the Taiyi authority that Taiyi had barely managed to gather, the authority on Taiwei's body was much more perfect and refined.

Faced with a powerful being who wielded authority, the Azure Emperor dared not act rashly. He could only take advantage of the moment when Yuan Huang and the other two made their move to increase his own power as much as possible.

Taiwei coldly looked at the three people in front of him. Faced with three earth-shattering divine powers, Taiwei simply turned the long sword in his hand over slightly.

The power of destiny had already frozen all the supernatural abilities and magical powers of Yuan Huang, Xuan Si, and Bai Ju, making the three of them seem like insects frozen in amber, unable to move at all.

The Mandate of Heaven is a part of the Primordial Authority carried by this part of Taiwei.

Unlike the all-encompassing and all-gathering authority of Taiyi, the divine mandate authority of Taiwei allows Taiwei to transform into the destiny that controls all order and chaos, and to grasp the myriad phenomena between heaven and earth with absolute will.

Yuanhuang, Baiju, and Xuansi may have already come into contact with the Primordial Authority in their original forms in the Great Primordial World, but here they are only incarnations of their consciousness and have not yet come into contact with the Primordial Authority.

Faced with the power of the Primordial Authority representing the Primordial Grand Luo Dao Lord, the three of them had no power to resist.

Under the authority of Heaven's Mandate, the Great Luo Dao Fruits of Yuan Huang, Bai Ju, and Xuan Si were completely sealed.

A massive crystal wheel appeared behind Taiwei, and the aura, cultivation, and original consciousness of Yuanhuang, Baiju, and Xuansi all began to rapidly decline and decrease at that moment.

Conversely, as the crystal wheel rotated, Taiwei's qi cultivation, consciousness, and physique began to undergo rapid transformation and sublimation.

In just a few breaths, the cultivation levels of Yuan Huang, Bai Ju, and Xuan Si all dropped from the Great Luo Dao Lord realm to the Golden Immortal realm, while Tai Wei's cultivation level had already reached the late stage of the Great Luo Dao Lord realm.

Yuan Huang, Bai Ju, and Xuan Si roared, unleashing their various supernatural abilities in an attempt to reverse their situation.

However, whether it is the royal divine power they possess, the power of the Heavenly Dao they draw upon, or the origin of the Great Luo Dao Fruit they burn, they cannot escape the situation of their cultivation constantly declining.

At this moment, Yuanhuang and the other two also felt the power of the Primordial Chaos Authority. They realized that when Taiwei had grasped a portion of the Primordial Chaos Authority, they had no chance of survival.

However, as the leaders of the royal family, Yuan Huang and the other two could not simply sit and wait for death, even if they were to die. They could only burn their own essence and consciousness to unleash their last bit of power.

Endless bursts of blood and light erupted as Taiwei watched the three's final resistance with an expressionless face.

Finally, amidst roars of resentment and under Taiwei's indifferent gaze, Yuanhuang, Xuansi, and Baiju vanished completely from the Taihuang Great World.

All the origins and insights of Yuanhuang and the other two, even their own Great Luo Dao Fruits, converged into Taiwei. At the moment of their death, Taiwei's cultivation had reached the peak of the Great Luo Dao Lord realm, and even the Heavenly Mandate Authority had been perfected once again.

"Taiyi was only able to barely condense a trace of Primordial Authority because the nine Great Luo Dao Fruits were all within this Taihuang Great World, and their origins were interconnected. You are merely an avatar, your essence is extremely incomplete, and even this Great Luo Dao Fruit has only just evolved. Why are you able to condense Primordial Authority?"

The Azure Emperor looked at Taiwei with a hint of doubt in his tone. In any case, the foundation for the birth of the Primordial Authority is that the cultivator himself must be free from all leakage of Primordial Chaos and have a perfect origin.

Taiwei is merely an incarnation; its origin is naturally imperfect, and it is impossible for it to condense the Primordial Authority.

Taiwei looked at Cangdi without speaking. His ability to condense the Heavenly Mandate Authority was essentially due to the reappearance of the Boundless Balance Heaven.

The origin of Taiwei from beginning to end is Wuji Hengtian, within which three Hunyuan authority belonging to Taiwei were condensed.

The moment Taiwei made contact with Wuji Hengtian, the Daotian Authority, one of the three Primordial Authorityes of Wuji Hengtian, descended a portion of its essence, forming a fragmented Primordial Authority within Taiwei's Heavenly Mandate Hundred Changes Dao Fruit, which is the Heavenly Mandate Authority that Taiwei now possesses.

Therefore, it is not that Taiwei condensed the Primordial Authority with its own incomplete essence, but that Taiwei had already condensed the Primordial Authority long ago.

Currently, Taiwei, a part of the Great Heaven and Earth of the Taihuang Emperor, has only drawn a portion of the power of the Primordial Authority into his own body, a fact that Taiwei naturally will not disclose to the Cang Emperor.

The Heavenly Mandate Authority is subordinate to the Dao Heavenly Authority. This Primordial Authority is impossible to perfect, and Taiwei cannot rely on this Heavenly Mandate Authority to advance to the Primordial Great Luo Dao Lord. Taiwei understands this.

However, regardless of the circumstances, Taiwei, who possesses a portion of the Primordial Chaos Authority, has essentially surpassed the Great Luo Dao Lord.

Even though Taiwei only possessed one ten-thousandth of the power of a Grand Luo Dao Lord through the power of destiny, this power was still enough to easily annihilate any Grand Luo Dao Lord in the world.

The Azure Emperor looked at the silent Taiwei, a murderous aura appearing in his eyes, and a bright light bloomed between his brows.

The power, no less than that of the Mandate of Heaven, caused the Azure Emperor's cultivation aura to continuously sublimate. In just a moment, the Azure Emperor's aura had already surpassed that of Taiwei. A wisp of condensed and restrained power of authority pierced through the Azure Emperor's body, and endless crimson caused the Azure Emperor's physique to begin an infinite transformation and sublimation.

"Primordial Authority?"

Taiwei frowned as he observed the changes in the Azure Emperor; this time, it was Taiwei's turn to be curious.

Taiwei was able to wield the power of destiny in his avatar because he had condensed the Primordial Authority in advance. Cangdi also wielded the Primordial Authority in his avatar form. Could it be that Cangdi had also condensed the Primordial Authority long ago?

But if that's the case, how did the Azure Emperor manage to traverse two worlds and send the Primordial Chaos Authority into this physical body? Or did the Azure Emperor bring this wisp of Primordial Chaos Authority with him when he first entered the Great World of the Tai Emperor?

The Azure Emperor did not explain the origin of his Primordial Authority either. His body began to expand infinitely, and in just a few breaths, he transformed into a crimson blood giant ten thousand feet tall in front of Taiwei.

Compared to the colossal beasts and ferocious gods that Taiwei had encountered before, the Crimson Blood Giant God, the incarnation of the Azure Emperor, was not particularly large. However, the immense aura emanating from the Crimson Blood Giant God was extremely terrifying, filling the heavens and earth and encompassing the surrounding wilderness.

Even Taiwei, who held the power of destiny, was at a disadvantage in the contest of momentum.

With its massive hand outstretched like the sky, the Crimson Blood Giant God's handprint shattered the earth where Taiwei stood, turning the vast expanse of land, spanning hundreds of thousands of miles, into an endless desert of yellow sand in an instant.

With his right hand holding the long sword down, Taiwei looked at the handprint that had been slammed down again in front of him. He raised the index and middle fingers of his left hand together, and the power of destiny gathered the power of all things in the universe and condensed it into a single point at his fingertips.

With a flick of the sword finger, a sword cry resounded in all directions. The enormous handprint, wreathed in dragon-like blood and energy, collided tens of millions of times in an instant with the minuscule seven-colored sword finger, shattering the clouds and atmosphere above with a series of thunderous booms.

The dazzling seven-colored light swam like a dragon, graceful as a startled swan, soaring through the six voids. Wherever the sword light went, the void rippled with waves, and the power of all things surged with the sword light, repeatedly repelling the Crimson Blood Giant God's handprint.

Compared to the seven-colored sword light unleashed by Taiwei, the Crimson Blood Giant God did not draw upon any of the primordial energy of heaven and earth, but instead unleashed an absolute power far beyond what ordinary people could imagine.

At this moment, the Crimson Blood Giant God pushed the Dao of Physical Strength to its limit. The sheer power of his physical body shattered the seven-colored sword light that Taiwei had gathered billions of yuan of spiritual energy.

The roar shook the heavens as the two peerless divine powers, one large and one small, collided once more, stirring up endless tides and waves.

Taiwei's seven-colored sword light gathered billions of yuan of spiritual energy, which was the power of heaven and earth. The Crimson Blood Giant God unleashed his own physical power, which was his own power.

The clash between the power of heaven and earth and its own power could not be resolved in a short time, and the power of the Taiwei Heavenly Mandate Authority was blocked time and time again by the crimson blood light wrapped around the Crimson Blood Giant God.

"Power to the extreme?"

As Taiwei watched the crimson giant god's aura expand continuously, another magnificent seven-colored sword beam shot out from his fingertip.

Endless bursts of blood light erupted, and the Crimson Blood Giant roared, shattering the seven-colored sword light that pierced through its front with its right hand, which was like a giant hammer.

The giant god formed a blade with his left hand, and with a single strike that cleaved the sky and cut through the earth, the blade's light tore apart Taiwei's body at a speed that transcended time and space.

"It's useless. Before you understand my true nature, no matter how many times you kill me, you will not be able to cause any harm to the real me."

Ripples spread through the primordial energy, and Taiwei's figure reappeared in the vast ocean where countless primordial energies converged.

With the mandate of heaven upon him, Taiwei can use the many spiritual energies of heaven and earth to reassemble his body at any time. Or rather, Taiwei's body has already merged with the primordial energy of heaven and earth within a radius of billions of miles through the mandate of heaven and earth. As long as heaven and earth exist, Taiwei will never die.

The seven-colored sword light slashed twelve times in succession, shattering the blade light that the Crimson Blood Giant God had unleashed. Taiwei's figure passed through countless violent attacks, and his right hand formed a sword with his fingers, which shimmered with seven-colored light, and pointed it at the very center of the fist imprint that the Crimson Blood Giant God had unleashed.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! ...

Amidst twelve deafening roars that rivaled thunder and lightning, Taiwei remained unmoved, his expression serene and composed.

In contrast, the Crimson Blood Giant God looked incredulous. An overwhelming and unstoppable force of heaven and earth roared and exploded continuously. The Crimson Blood Giant God's huge and majestic body staggered back twelve steps. Countless cracks appeared on its massive body in the void, and its majestic face was filled with shock and anger.

"impossible!"

The power of the Crimson Primordial Authority erupted once more. The Crimson Giant God raised his hands to the sky, and endless blood light fell from the void, entering the body of the Crimson Giant God.

A vast, boundless, condensed, pure, and absolute power surged and roared within the Crimson Blood Giant God's body. A dragon's roar that resounded throughout the universe echoed, and the Crimson Blood Giant God's body twisted and expanded, transforming into a ten-thousand-foot-long azure dragon with purple-gold dragon scales and white jade dragon horns.

With a swing of its golden claw, the dragon unleashed a power ten thousand times greater than before, shattering the seven-colored sword light that was once again piercing through its front. A dragon's roar shook the heavens and the earth. The golden dragon opened its mouth wide, and the endless primordial energy and spiritual power between heaven and earth turned into a torrent and were completely devoured by this giant dragon.

The clear, blood-red light once again enveloped the true dragon's body. Purple, gold, and blood-red radiance condensed into a beam, a long rainbow that illuminated the entire Taihuang Great World pierced through time and space, divided heaven and earth, obliterated the laws of the Dao, and completely erased Taiwei from the Taihuang Great World!

The entire Great World of the Thai Emperor continuously transformed into three colors—purple, gold, and blood—amidst bursts of light. At this moment, all living beings and cultivators in the world felt an indescribable aura of great destruction.

If the Azure Emperor's attack had been any stronger, it would have shaken the foundation of this Great Heaven and Earth, turning it into a cataclysmic calamity that would engulf this eternal Great Heaven and Earth.

The body of a true dragon stretched across the abyss, its purple, gold, and blood-colored light illuminating all directions. The Azure Emperor surveyed his surroundings, the vast rainbow surging from his mouth still repeatedly shattering everything around him.

The Cang Emperor believed that even if Taiwei possessed a portion of the Primordial Authority, it would be absolutely impossible for him to escape from this attack that had already reached the level of a Primordial Grand Luo Dao Lord.

Yellow sand and dust raged across the land, turning the earth and sky into a murky mess. The battle between the Azure Emperor and Taiwei shattered the mountains and rivers within tens of millions of miles, and countless lives were lost.

Crimson karma descended and landed on the purple-gold dragon, but some karma continued to linger and landed on Taiwei, who had revealed his form there.

The Purple-Gold Dragon Eyes suddenly contracted. The Azure Emperor stared in disbelief at the unharmed Taiwei, unable to comprehend how Taiwei had dodged his attack. In the Azure Emperor's view, even a Primordial Grand Luo Dao Lord would have been injured by his attack.

"Your grasp of the Primordial Authority is too poor. This isn't the Primordial Authority you've condensed yourself, is it?"

Taiwei looked up at the purple-gold dragon that was constantly humming above him, and his expression turned indifferent and cold, as if it were the will of Heaven.

"No matter how powerful others are, you can hardly control them completely, and this is even more true of the Primordial Authority."

The crimson light in Taiwei's right eye surged and receded. The purple-gold dragon, which was about to retaliate, trembled when it saw Taiwei's right eye, and all its attack plans were forcibly erased in that instant.

"The power of destiny encompasses all things in the universe, including cause and effect, the will of heaven, and fate. I have transformed into the heart of heaven and, after witnessing all the causes and effects in the world, I have comprehended a divine sword technique. Now, I will use this divine technique to send your avatar to its end."

Bright and beautiful causal light shone forth, and within the soul and true spirit of the purple-gold dragon, wisps of invisible and intangible causal power slowly emerged.

All the karma that the Azure Emperor had accumulated since his birth, all the karma that the Dragon Clan had been entangled in since its rise, and all the karma that the Azure Emperor had acquired after entering the Great World of Emperor Tai, all transformed into a bright red tide that engulfed the Azure Emperor's mind and consciousness at this moment.
