Chapter 2781: Sword Pointing at the Heavens, Seeking the Dao with a Sword!

"Do you think Ye Yuan, who has been so calm all along, might really have a backup plan?" After Ye Yuan's group left, Niu Mo Saint Sovereign couldn't help asking.

It was because Ye Yuan's demeanor was too composed.

Anyone else treated like this would have been indignant, but not Ye Yuan.

From start to finish, he was like an onlooker.

Many of the strong present were deeply wary of Ye Yuan.

Admittedly, Ye Yuan's attitude made them uneasy.

Dao Yun sneered, "Don't forget, it was the Heavenly Dao that cut off his path forward, not us! A man abandoned by the heavens—do you think he can still turn things around?"

Hearing this, everyone felt much relieved.

Indeed, if heaven wants you dead, can you overturn the sky?

"You're right! No matter how brilliant a genius, they can't surpass the heavens! From now on, there are only Four Great Heavenly Domains!" Tianlu Saint Sovereign said.

…

The journey was silent. When they returned to Wuding Heavenly Sect, Luo Yunqing finally couldn't hold back.

"Ye Yuan, if you want to leave, go! I'll stay here and fight them to the death! Even if I'm ground to dust, I won't let them set foot in Wuding Heavenly Sect!"

Ye Yuan smiled, "You've just entered Saint Emperor Heaven. Even if you're ground to dust, can you stop them from stepping into Wuding Heavenly Sect? This place is nothing but ruins. What does it matter if we let them have it?"

The great battle had just ended, and Wuding Heavenly Sect was the main battlefield.

With so many Saint Emperor Heaven experts fighting, plus the self-destruction of the Eight Generals, the entire sect was already in ruins.

But Luo Yunqing had deep feelings for Wuding Heavenly Sect.

Now, just after destroying the Dan Alliance and being able to rebuild Wuding Heavenly Sect, they were suddenly driven to the Southern Wasteland—he couldn't accept it.

The Southern Wasteland was merely a tiny patch of land.

In terms of area, it was only a quarter of a heavenly domain.

How could Luo Yunqing be willing?

"Ye Yuan, your martial path is severed. Has your fighting spirit been extinguished too? If we all join forces, we might not lose to them!"

Ye Yuan looked deeply at Luo Yunqing and said, "Brother Luo, even if we recover Wuding Heavenly Sect, so what? Even if Wuding Heavenly Sect unifies Yuqing Continent like the Dan Alliance, so what? This is just a barbaric land! Is your vision really limited to this?"

"The people of the Five Great Heavenly Sects have always wondered why a prodigy like Zhuo Bufan suddenly disappeared. Today, I'll tell you: he went to the other side of the sea! He knew that staying in Yuqing Continent would only be like a frog at the bottom of a well! Do you want to see the world outside?"

Luo Yunqing's expression changed drastically. "How do you know..."

Ye Yuan said calmly, "I saw the sword aura he left behind above the sea!"

Luo Yunqing's heart shook violently. So Lord Zhuo had truly crossed the sea!

"But... but Wuding Heavenly Sect..."

Ye Yuan interrupted him, saying flatly, "The legacy of Wuding Heavenly Sect must naturally be passed down! That's to give an account to the Sect Master and to Elder He! But not now! Acting on momentary bravery is meaningless."

Luo Yunqing looked at Ye Yuan in astonishment. "You... this is impossible! Your martial path has been severed by the Heavenly Dao!"

Ye Yuan smiled, "My fate is mine to command, not heaven's!"

…

On that day, the entire Wuding Heavenly Sect moved south.

Though it was the whole sect, there weren't many people.

However, after Ye Yuan's sword cut down Changsheng, many former Wuding members had returned.

Wu Chengchao, Lin Lan, Wen Jingxuan, and others had survived thanks to Ye Yuan's Hundred Poison Array back then.

Now, hearing of Ye Yuan's return, they naturally rejoined the sect.

Besides them, over three hundred others also returned to Wuding Heavenly Sect.

As for the other four sects, they weren't so fortunate.

Together, they numbered less than two hundred.

These five hundred plus people were the last strength of the former Five Radiance Heavenly Domain.

However, because the Five Great Heavenly Domains rejected ascenders, several thousand ascenders followed the Five Great Heavenly Sects and migrated to the Southern Wasteland.

After this, Dahuang completely broke with the Myriad Demon Mountains and joined the Southern Wasteland forces.

Now in the Southern Wasteland, including Luo Yunqing and his two companions, the four Southern Wasteland Saint Sovereigns, two ascendant Saint Sovereigns, plus Ye Yuan and Dahuang, there were eleven Saint Emperor Heaven experts!

In terms of numbers, they were not weak.

However, most of these people had just broken through, with too shallow foundations.

The only one who could truly be considered a combatant was Dahuang.

In fact, the strong of the Five Great Heavenly Domains were truly wary of only Dahuang.

Otherwise, the Five Great Heavenly Sects might not have been able to migrate.

But none of that mattered anymore.

Upon arriving in the Southern Wasteland, Ye Yuan went to the sea and sat cross-legged in midair.

Above Ye Yuan's head, a huge Taiji diagram slowly unfolded.

It looked as if he was comprehending heaven and earth.

"Kid, have you really thought this through? This step means certain death!" Mi Tian said.

Ye Yuan said calmly, "The path is walked by man, not bestowed by heaven! Since the Immortal Forest World, my life has been defying heaven! When the Great Dao collapsed, I used alchemy to reverse the Dao and ascend to the Divine Dao! In the Tongtian Realm, when it was refined by great powers, I created my own techniques to dissolve the Dao and break through the heavens! Here in the Thirty-Three Heavens, since the Heavenly Dao rejects me, I shall point my sword at the heavens and seek the Dao with my sword!"

Boom!

As he spoke, Ye Yuan's Chaos World exploded with a roar!

The terrifying energy waves stirred up massive tsunamis.

At that moment, countless gazes turned toward the sea.

Luo Yunqing's face changed dramatically. "Such powerful world force! Ye Yuan shattered his own small world! He... what is he trying to do?"

The small world is the foundation of a martial artist!

When the world collapses, the martial path ends!

Ye Yuan had shattered his own small world!

This move shocked everyone.

Dahuang, with his deep understanding of the Dao, sensed an unusual crisis.

"Master Ye... is trying to break down to rebuild! But... will the Heavenly Dao allow it?" Dahuang murmured.

Ye Yuan had poured immense effort into forming this Chaos World.

To say he was reluctant was an understatement!

But at this moment, he was unwavering!

In the world, there are geniuses rejected by the Heavenly Dao.

Ye Yuan was not the only one whose path of cultivation was stripped by the Heavenly Dao.

The Thirty-Three Heavens are vast and immense, with countless strong and geniuses like clouds!

There were also peerless prodigies rejected by the Heavenly Dao.

Naturally, these prodigies refused to let their martial path end there.

Thus, they carved out their own path—the path of defying heaven!

Wresting life from heaven, going against the heavens!

Ye Yuan's Chaos World shattered but did not dissipate; instead, it converged toward the Taiji diagram.

The Taiji diagram slowly turned, condensing countless energies within.

A phantom sword gradually solidified, standing inverted at the center of the Taiji diagram, pointing at the heavens!

Crack, crack...

Above the sea, dark clouds gathered, thunder rumbled.

As if the next moment, the world would end!
