Only at the Mahayana Stage Does the Reversal System Appear - Chapter 400

Chapter 400 The Master of the Big Hand (Update)

It was a perfectly ordinary day for Jiuzhou. Those who should be burning, killing, and looting were doing so, while those who should be upholding justice were still upholding it.

All the cultivators were acting for the moral principles within their hearts, upholding their Daoist ideals and using various means to become stronger.

Suddenly, all the cultivators froze, their bodies frozen, and they looked up at the sky in horror.

A giant hand, shimmering with runes, shattered the void, dripping with blood, reaching towards Jiuzhou.

The cultivators had no idea what this hand was going to do.

Those in the Tribulation Crossing stage were furious. The younger cultivators were ignorant, unaware of the Immortal Stairway, but didn’t they know?

Although those in the Tribulation Crossing stage couldn’t see the Stairway, they could vaguely sense it.

This giant hand clearly intended to sever it!

Severing the path to immortality was a vengeance comparable to killing one’s parents or stealing one’s wife, if not even greater.

Those in the Tribulation Crossing stage gave up, unconcerned about the impact of their methods on Jiuzhou, and attacked one after another, attempting to interrupt the hand’s movements.

This hand had destroyed the immortal ladders of countless worlds, yet it had never encountered such fierce resistance.

Other worlds lacked the potential and abundance of cultivators of the Nine Provinces.

In the Nine Provinces, an immortal emerged every hundred years on average. Which world could compare?

Furthermore, countless immortals established and clashed over their own lineages within the Nine Provinces.

Many privately referred to the Nine Provinces as the “Lesser Immortal Realm,” a testament to its power.

At this moment, there was no distinction between righteous and demonic paths, and no neutral cultivators to mediate. This massive hand affected the interests of all cultivators!

“Buddha’s Fatal Palm!”

“Ruyi Gourd!”

“Taoism Transforms Yin and Yang!”

“The Sage Says: Think Twice Before Acting!”

“Brahma Tower!”

“Five-Colored Divine Light!”

“Other Mountain Stones!”

“Great Demonic Sky-Supporting Staff!”

The Tribulation Crossing Stage cultivators attacked simultaneously, slashing their lifespans, even their own lives, unleashing their most powerful tactics, desperately attempting to halt the giant hand’s movements.

However, it was futile. The giant hand was indestructible, and even the clash of immortal artifacts could not halt it in the slightest.

The gap between their cultivation and the giant hand’s was vast, a gaping despair.

“Ancestor, why won’t you let me use the Yin-Yang Heavenly Seal?” the Daoist Sect leader at the time was stunned, puzzled by Changcun Immortal Weng’s actions.

Changcun Immortal Weng gently shook his head and, using his cultivation, forcibly suppressed the Daoist Sect leader’s hand: “This is for your own good.”

“We have supporters in the Immortal Realm. Who has blocked my path to immortality? Tell me the name!”

“The ancestors of the Immortal Realm will not let you go!”

“I swear I will not be a human until I avenge this!”

the Tribulation Crossing Stage roared. They had endured countless life-and-death trials throughout their lives, but never had they lost their composure like this.

Cultivating immortality, cultivating immortality, if you can’t achieve it, what’s the point!

Among them, Taoist Jin’s eyes were dripping with blood. He was about to achieve immortality, so how could such a thing happen at this critical moment?

This was more painful than killing him.

…

The owner of the giant hand seemed injured, bleeding even more than in the Wei Gu world.

Just like in the Wei Gu world, runes flickered on the palm of the giant hand, counteracting the Immortal Ladder and causing it to vanish without a trace.

The runes contained no symbols related to the Way of Time, leaving the time-related portion of the Ladder intact.

The giant hand roughly crushed the time-related portion of the Ladder into dust, dispersing it without a trace.

“No wonder most of the Ladders I’ve acquired are fragments of time,”

Jiang Li suddenly realized. Destroying the time-related Ladders was difficult, requiring two steps. The giant hand’s haste had caused an oversight, allowing a fragment to remain.

Jiang Li shattered the void, finally revealing the hand’s owner. A chill ran through his body.

Daozu!

It was Daozu who had shattered the Ladder.

Daozu’s body was enormous, the size of two states, like a giant who had created the world.

The giant, however, looked miserable, gravely wounded. One hand rested on his chest, holding a number of cultivators in his palm. Daozu had used his boundless magical power to protect these cultivators from being crushed by the void.

This method was too brutal, causing damage to the cultivators’ spiritual altars and potentially causing memory loss.

Runes flickered on his other hand; it was with this hand that he had crushed the ladder to immortality in the heavens and all realms!

Daozu’s blood spilled into the void, his eyes hollow, vision lost. His spiritual altar had been pierced, making it difficult to mobilize his consciousness.

This injury was irreparable, impossible to save, and death was inevitable.

What shocked Jiang Li even more was what was happening behind him.

Countless demons from outside the realm shouted, chasing Daozu, wanting to witness his death with their own eyes.

“As expected of the Dao Ancestor, he’s still holding strong despite such injuries.”

“He silently completed the slaying of the Three Corpses and their unification, leading us to misjudge his strength.”

“He shattered the ladders of immortality across the myriad realms, attempting to complicate our search for the locations of these worlds.”

“But what good is that? We’ve followed all the way here and memorized their locations.”

“Although the worlds are constantly shifting, as long as we quickly return and compile the positional formula, the Dao Ancestor’s efforts will be in vain.”

These extraterritorial demons were all lucid, indicating they were celestial immortals to begin with.

The extraterritorial demons were overjoyed. Just as hunters enjoy killing swift lions, they also enjoy killing powerful individuals.

Not to mention, killing the Dao Ancestor was a great feat, garnering countless rewards.

Daozu, as if hearing the whispers of the outer demons, suddenly pulled away. His hand, gleaming with runes, crushed all the outer demons to death, vanishing along with the coordinates of the worlds they had memorized.

Daozu’s mouth opened and closed, but no sound emanated. He seemed to be laughing, yet also crying.

He stumbled across the void, heading for the next and final world.

His massive hand crushed the last ladder to immortality, his body drifting through the universe, altering the paths of countless stars.

He used his last strength to write the stone tablet, then refined his body into a continent, providing a place for the cultivators he had brought back from the immortal realm to survive.

Jiang Li approached Daozu, speechless.

The outer demons were blind and could not perceive Daozu’s true condition, but he could.

He had been dead before arriving in Jiuzhou. Daozu’s continued activity was due to his obsession.

It was unimaginable that Daozu was so powerful that he could crush countless outer demons and shatter the ladder to immortality with just his obsession.

Yet, Daozu died nonetheless.

Daozu sensed someone approaching, and his body instinctively thought it was a demon from outer space. He wanted to attack, but he couldn’t muster any strength. He used his spiritual sense and saw Jiang Li. He was as excited as if he had come back to life.

“Who are you… You are from the future… There will be cultivators like you in the future… You are stronger than me… There is still hope… There is still hope for everything…”

Daozu’s spiritual sense was transmitted to Jiang Li intermittently. When he saw Jiang Li, he let go of his obsession and died completely.

Although Jiang Li had never met Daozu, he still felt uncomfortable seeing him like this.

Jiang Li picked up the stone tablet that Daozu had carved on his deathbed. He had seen this stone tablet when he first came to the world of ringing bells, but at that time the stone tablet was incomplete and he could only see part of the content.

But now, Jiang Li finally saw the complete stone tablet.
