"From three steps to four steps, the difficulty is indeed greater."
Inside the forbidden cave.
Xia Mangqing sighed in amazement at how rapidly he had progressed.
This time, however, it took more than five million years to barely push the Chaos Yin and Yang to the fourth level. The other five basic paths were still a mystery and required a long time to study.
Even if each step takes about the same amount of time, it would still take him more than 30 million years to become a fourth-step Dao Lord, even with time acceleration. That's the best-case scenario. In reality, he could be stuck for hundreds of millions of years, or even longer, at any time due to a single shackle!
The speed at which the chaotic Yin and Yang have evolved to the fourth level in just over five million years is truly astonishing.
"Let's try it out on those Emperor-level puppets."
Xia Mangqing left the cave.
Since Daoist Yu Chen and the others were currently in seclusion, he did not disturb them, but instead went straight into the activity range of the Emperor-level puppet.
Swish swish————
Eighteen figures immediately flew over, their auras intertwined, their divine power operating perfectly. With the support of the battle formation, the strength of each puppet increased significantly.
"Have you made another breakthrough?"
A puppet asked.
"Hmm, I've had a slight epiphany, and I'd like to ask you all for some guidance."
Xia Mangqing nodded.
His words astonished even these Emperor-level puppets. The creature before them was progressing too fast. From being no match for them to being comparable to, surpassing, and even challenging all of them at the same time, it only took about 100,000 years. It was truly astonishing.
"Come on, I hope you can defeat us. Following such a peerless genius as you would be a worthwhile investment for us," the sword-wielding puppet laughed. He actually quite hoped that Xia Mangqing would defeat them, so that they could leave with Xia Mangqing.
Although they are puppets, they still have their own consciousness, thoughts, and emotions. They have long been tired of staying in this forbidden place for countless years, and they are naturally eager to leave if they can.
Of course, following the rules set by the Supreme Being, they cannot show mercy. To make them acknowledge you as their master, you must have the strength to defeat them all.
"The Ultimate Chaos: Yin and Yang!"
Xia Mangqing shouted in a heartbeat, and in an instant, the mysteries of the Chaos Yin-Yang Dao swept over, commanding the Chaos Green Lotus and the nine secret techniques, transforming into a chaotic domain!
But at this moment, his realm of Dao is even higher, and the power of Chaos Yin and Yang is also much stronger. Under the terrifying suppression of his domain, even this void began to tremble, and ripples in the void continued to spread.
"It's definitely stronger now!"
"Be careful, attack at the same time, don't give him a chance!"
"kill!"
The eighteen Emperor-level puppets attacked simultaneously. Each of them was among the top Emperors in strength, and their combined power was boundless.
Blade flashes, sword energy, spear gleams, magical seals —
All sorts of extraordinary skills erupted at the same time, as if to shatter heaven and earth and suppress Xia Mangqing, this peerless prodigy.
"Arrival!"
Rumble—
The world projection suddenly descended, its power condensed to the extreme by Xia Mangqing. Covering only a radius of hundreds of millions of miles of void, its terrifying power swept across, and the entire spacetime seemed to freeze for a moment.
"The Birth and Death of Ultimate Chaos!"
Xia Mangqing formed a great hand seal, shattering chaos. The light of countless tribulations seemed to pierce through all laws and principles, even transcending time and space. In the instant Xia Mangqing made his move, it was already imprinted on an Emperor-level puppet.
boom!
The Emperor-level puppet flew backward. This time, Xia Mangqing wanted to catch it off guard, so he didn't hold back. However, the Emperor-level puppet was indestructible, so this attack failed to damage its core. After flying backward and crashing into the mountain, it gradually repaired itself.
This is the strongest killing technique powered by the third level of the ultimate Chaos Dao, comparable to a full-force strike from a peak Dao Lord, capable of easily shattering an Emperor-level puppet.
"Oh no!"
One of the puppets, before it could even adjust the formation, Xia Mangqing had already unleashed his Chaos Domain, which seemed to unleash countless dragons to pounce and annihilate the remaining puppets.
boom!boom!
Two more puppets were knocked away. Xia Mangqing acted decisively. If it were the real Eternal Emperor, taking this move would result in serious injury or even death. Only an Emperor-level puppet could withstand such a beating.
As long as the core remains intact, there will be no major problems.
"kill!!"
The remaining fifteen puppets quickly changed formation, forming a nine-person battle formation and two three-person battle formations, and attacked Xia Mangqing again.
However, his strength had improved considerably. If it weren't for the complete battle formation, the outcome would have been decided. After only a short while of fighting, Xia Mangqing defeated eighteen Emperor-level puppets.
Of course, his domain suppression techniques are now stronger, almost at the level of a Holy City Lord, but his direct combat ability is still at the peak of the Dao Lord level. However, with good coordination, he can defeat eighteen Emperor-level puppets just like this time.
"We greet our master!"
In just a few breaths, the eighteen Emperor-level puppets flew to Xia Mangqing's front, knelt on one knee, and respectfully said that, in accordance with the Supreme's instructions, they all recognized Xia Mangqing as their master.
After the recognition ceremony was completed, one of the puppets said, "Master, you can now refine the core of the Stone Palace. From now on, this Stone Palace will be completely under your control, as will the inheritance within it."
"Um.
"6
Xia Mangqing nodded, and then, led by a puppet, entered the stone hall to refine the core.
This stone palace itself is a treasure, belonging to the top-grade eternal divine weapon. However, with Xia Mangqing's current resources, a top-grade eternal divine weapon is nothing to him.
What he truly cared about was the inheritance within. Of the eighteen sovereign-level inheritances in this stone hall, he had already obtained three, and now he could also acquire the remaining fifteen.
Xia Mangqing intends to move this stone palace to the Three Realms, so that upon reaching a certain level, one can obtain its inheritance.
However, he is not in a hurry to take the stone hall away. With the stone hall here, a special area will be formed within a radius of hundreds of millions of miles. When fighting in this area, the power and aura will not spread out.
This is also why the Sith descendants of the Celestial Realm remained silent despite their numerous battles with Emperor-level puppets.
Of course, this is also because the descendants of the Sith in the Celestial Realm know that they can no longer gain any benefits in the forbidden land. Even if the Silver-Clad Dao Lords of the four major forces work together, it is almost impossible to capture an Emperor-level puppet again.
They're not stupid, so now very few Sith descendants enter the forbidden lands, and since they're making no noise, the probability of them being discovered is naturally very small.
"You can stay here and shelter my three companions for now."
Xia Mangqing told the Emperor-level puppets that after recognizing Xia Mangqing as their master, the rule that they could only move within a hundred million miles of the stone hall would naturally no longer exist, and they could also protect Yu Chen Daojun and the others.
"Yes," the Emperor-level puppets replied. Then Xia Mangqing immediately fled. In this forbidden land, there were still four ancient sites that had not been conquered. Apart from the core ancient palace, Xia Mangqing was confident that he could conquer the remaining three ancient sites.
Those are dozens of Emperor-level puppets and dozens of Dominator-level inheritances. Only a fool wouldn't want them if given the chance.
Before long, he swept through the remaining three ancient sites, almost completely squeezing out all the opportunities and blessings there, leaving only the core ancient temple.
After thinking for a moment, Xia Mangqing went to the core ancient hall again.
Six Emperor-level puppets, at the level of Holy City Lords, sat cross-legged outside the core ancient hall. But unlike their previous indifference, this time when they saw Xia Mangqing arrive, their expressions all changed.
"Congratulations, you have successfully passed the test. Are you ready to leave this forbidden land now?" asked one of the puppets in the middle.
Xia Mangqing cupped his hands and asked, "Senior, may I bring some people with me when we leave?"
"Alright," one of the puppets said. "There are twelve Silver-Clad Dao Lords outside. If you seize the body of one of them, you can take one more living being with you."
"The body of a Daoist Lord in silver robes?"
Xia Mangqing frowned. He didn't want to clash with those silver-robed Dao Lords. Although he learned from the Emperor-level puppets that no peak Dao Lords of the Sith race had entered in nearly 108,000 Chaos Eras, it was highly likely that no peak Dao Lords had been born.
However, even without the peak Dao Lord undergoing the self-sacrifice ritual to transform, the strength that the Silver-Clad Dao Lord could display, even if he was only a second-level Dao Lord, was far beyond what he could currently match.
If it were a top-tier Dao Lord transformation, then a battle might be possible. However, the four major powers have twelve Silver-Clad Dao Lords. Even if he targets one of the powers, the three Silver-Clad Dao Lords would still be extremely dangerous.
"Or, if you defeat all six of us at the same time, we will acknowledge you as our master. At that time, it will be up to you who stays and who goes," another puppet said, his eyes filled with expectation but not with hope.
Defeating all six of them at the same time is extremely difficult. It would require at least the top-tier beings among the Holy City Lords to achieve this. For a Dao Lord, it is almost impossible.
"It seems that capturing the Silver-Clad Daoist is still the simplest option."
Xia Mangqing thought to himself, there was no hope of defeating six puppets of the level of Holy City Lords at the same time unless he became a Fourth Step Dao Lord.
As for the Ultimate Dao Lord, it's normal for it to take a long time to go from the third step to the fourth step, and Xia Mangqing couldn't guarantee that.
