The Sutra of Nothingness

"I know it may be difficult for you to accept it for a while, but please rest assured, I don't want you to accept this knowledge immediately! However, you will understand it eventually, I just hope you don't understand it too late! As the Heavenly Dao gradually matures, you will eventually be more powerful than me! But you must leave a way out for yourself, at least, don't be foolish enough to become his scapegoat! We humans can also sublimate ourselves into heaven. This is something that everyone with destiny knows! By then, everything we have will transcend the constraints of the six realms and will no longer be affected by the Heavenly Dao. Everything will be dominated by ourselves!" Ye Wuhen stared into Shangguan Duo's eyes with a sharp gaze and explained in a firm tone.

"You...you don't even think about confusing my mind! Everything you said is absolutely ridiculous! I have never heard anyone say this before. Maybe you just want me to give up my revenge plan against your demon descendants! I won't be fooled by you!" Shangguan Duo widened his eyes, glared at Ye Wuhen, and retorted righteously.

"Hahaha, I can tell you this: all races created by the Heavenly Dao will never be completely destroyed! So I have never worried about this. As for why you have never come into contact with these things, it's because no one around you has ever been able to stand at this level. If you go to the Immortal Realm, I'm afraid no one will know all this! These things can only be known by the sons of destiny in each generation, and the rest of the people know nothing!"

"Alas, I'm just a loser. If I could have been stronger when facing Xing Fengbo back then..." Ye Wuhen muttered to himself with his head down, very dejected.

"Forget it, just let me see how strong you are now! After all, I am really curious about how much Tiandao has recovered now. In that battle, to be honest, Tiandao and I only injured Xing Fengbo together!" Shangguan Duo was still thinking about Ye Wuhen's words in his mind, but unexpectedly Ye Wuhen suddenly made a move, and a sharp sword energy rushed towards him.

Shangguan Duo was startled and quickly dodged to the side, but the sword energy still left a shallow scar on his arm.

"What are you doing?" Shangguan Duo looked at Ye Wuhen with some annoyance.

"Just testing your strength." Ye Wuhen said lightly.

Shangguan Duo snorted coldly, and a layer of golden light appeared on his body, resisting Ye Wuhen's sword energy.

The two looked at each other for a moment, and then attacked at the same time. For a moment, the entire space was filled with powerful energy fluctuations.

Their battle was so fierce that the surrounding mountains were shattered and countless cracks appeared on the ground.

"Imperial Thunder - Crazy Thunder Demon Barrier!" Ye Wuhen roared, his voice like thunder, shaking the world. He waved his right arm, pointed his sword to the sky, and a dazzling silver-white light shot straight into the sky like an arrow. In a moment, the sky was covered with dark clouds, pitch black, as if the end of the world had come.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" The sound of thunder resounded through the sky, deafening, and echoed in every corner of the first floor of the Ascension Platform. In the clouds, the silver-white lightning flickered unsteadily, like a dragon rolling and stirring. The extremely powerful pressure came overwhelmingly, and Shangguan Duo suddenly felt difficulty breathing, and his heart was heavy.

"The Way of Inaction, the world is united, you are me!" Shangguan Duo did not dare to be negligent, and quickly used his life-saving skills. Facing such a terrifying power, he could not help but feel a little uneasy. Judging from the scene in front of him, he really did not have enough confidence to withstand this attack. What's worse is that Ye Wuhen did not seem to have used the power of the Tao yet.

"Crack!" With a loud bang, the sky seemed to be torn apart, revealing a huge crack. Then, a giant lightning bolt as thick as a bucket struck Shangguan Duo with overwhelming force!

"The Way of Inaction, the world above and below, I am inaction!" Shangguan Duo shouted this sentence at the top of his lungs, his heart filled with fear and despair. The lightning was like a ferocious beast, rushing towards him at an alarming speed. Faced with such a terrifying force, Shangguan Duo did not dare to slack off. In order to ensure that there was no risk, he once again exerted the power of the Tao and wrapped himself tightly.

Because the person standing in front of him was none other than the Lord of the Demon Clan—the peerless power that once split the mortal world and the immortal world with one sword! Although only a remnant of soul remained, his powerful strength was still awe-inspiring. This kind of power was enough to rival the ancient gods who created the world!

However, Shangguan Duo's efforts did not have much effect. When the first lightning struck him, he flew backwards like a kite with its string cut off. His whole body turned black, as if it had been burned. What was worse was that the power of lightning did not stop. It raged wildly in his body, constantly shuttling back and forth. Shangguan Duo, who had always been absolutely confident in his body, could not help but feel timid at this moment.

"Poof! Cough cough!" Shangguan Duo stood up after lying for a while, but his body was shaking slightly. Every breath was accompanied by severe pain, and the lightning power surging wildly in his body made him cough uncontrollably, and blood kept flowing out of his mouth.

He stared with eyes wide open, looking at Ye Wuhen in disbelief, who was still standing tall and steady like a mountain, and asked weakly, "This... is this the power of heaven and earth?"

Ye Wuhen nodded without hesitation and replied: "That's right! This is the power of heaven and earth. Back then, I had the strength of half a step to heaven, and I was only one step away from transcending this heaven and becoming a master! If I hadn't been attacked fiercely by the enemy, how could I have ended up like this, with only this weak remnant soul left to survive until now!"

Ye Wuhen seemed to see through his thoughts and said earnestly: "Your Taoism is good, but you rely too much on the power of Heaven. If you continue like this, you will definitely suffer a great loss in the future! You must have your own innovations and breakthroughs, and cannot just be limited to the existing model. Otherwise, you will eventually become a puppet of Heaven and lose yourself... No wonder, I was wondering why Heaven is so confident in letting you take shortcuts!"

"Hehe, I don't need your teaching. When you killed my wife, I have been irreconcilable with you! Now you want to induce me to oppose the Way of Heaven. I am the son of destiny and the spokesperson of the Way of Heaven. How can I believe your slander?" Shangguan Duo wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and shouted angrily at Ye Wuhen.
