“Li, you don’t understand….” The man did not speak these words, but rather, whispered them in his heart. 2
RUMBLE!
At the bottom of the Milky Way Sea, Meng Hao’s eyes shined with an intensely bright glow. He slowly looked up at the blade in front of him as it rose ever higher. In the Heavens far above the sea, the astral blade also reared up simultaneously.
As they moved toward an apex, the blades seemed to be building up power. By the time they reached that apex, all living beings in the Milky Way Sea were watching on….
The astral blade then suddenly began to slash down toward the Milky Way Sea.
Rumbling filled the sky, and the sea suddenly started to split apart. The seafloor, which throughout countless ages had never been touched by sunlight… was revealed to the world for the first time.
Exposed therein was Meng Hao, as well as the Resurrection Lily, struggling in all of its madness.
Also visible was the multicolored blade hovering in front of Meng Hao.
The first blade of Spirit Severing!
“Heaven and Earth are just resting places for the myriads of living creatures,” he murmured. “Time represents the passage of hundreds of generations of passing travelers.” A glow of determination appeared in his eyes, and the blade descended. 3
“My life is just such a resting place. Wherever my footsteps lead, that is my direction!” His voice echoed out, softly at first, then louder and louder.
“Sever the fetters, and achieve true independence, acquire true freedom!” The sound of his voice caused everything in the area to shake and rumble. The parted sea water roared, and the glow of the astral blade increased tenfold!
It almost seemed to have formed a resonance with Meng Hao!
That resonance caused Heaven and Earth to dim. The wind whipped and the clouds churned. The glow of the astral blade spread without end, and the multicolored blade in front of Meng Hao emanated a shocking will.
This was… the resonance of a great Dao!
The glow grew more intense, transforming into ripples and then vibration. The air around Meng Hao twisted and distorted, and countless ghost images sprang up. When the 10th Wang Clan Patriarch felt it, his face fell.
“The resonance of a great Dao!”
In the Second Ring, the eyes of the mother of the Resurrection Lily went wide. As for the couple in the Great Tang of the Eastern Lands, both of them trembled.
Only great determination and incredible enlightenment could form a resonance like this!
Spirit Severing is not difficult when compared to causing a Dao…. But even more difficult is to form a resonance!
Meng Hao’s heart, will and mind all fused with the descending great Dao. They became indistinguishable!
I am the great Dao, and the great Dao is me!
In that moment, be it in the Southern Domain, the Northern Reaches, or the Eastern Lands, the Patriarchs and almighty members of all the Sects and Clans could all sense the resonance of the great Dao.
The resonance formed the first blade of Spirit Severing, a blade that would sever, not Meng Hao’s life or existence, but rather… any flaws within him that did not conform to his Dao!
