Chapter 476

Chapter 476: Gagagaga
The world was gray and white, with no color at all, filled with a suffocating silence.

Yu Zhao lowered her head and looked at her own hand. Her skin was still fair, but it seemed to have lost all life and had become a little transparent.

She tried to circulate her spirit power, but found that her body was completely empty. She could not feel even the slightest ripple of spiritual energy.

To Yu Zhao’s surprise, she did not feel any discomfort. Instead, there was a relaxed feeling that everything was under her control.

She stood in place and pondered for a moment, then opened her palm. A ball of multicolored light spun quickly and shone in her hand.

Then she tentatively flicked out one wisp of light that was so white it bordered on nothingness.

A phantom that looked exactly like her appeared in front of her.

When Yu Zhao saw its appearance, she was stunned again.

It was her, yet not her.

She had a pair of dead, lifeless eyes. There was no expression on her face, yet she did not look dull. It was a coldness that cared about nothing in the world.

It was absolute ruthlessness.

“This is… the incarnation of my Ruthless Dao?” Yu Zhao muttered under her breath, a trace of understanding flashing in her eyes.

She did not stop. She waved out another wisp of pale gray light.

The light blossomed in midair and turned into another version of herself, one of breathtaking beauty.

This phantom’s brows and eyes held a smile, and a hazy halo wrapped around her whole body, as if she would merge into nothingness at any moment.

Yu Zhao recognized her at a glance.

This was the incarnation of her Illusion Dao.

Her gaze fell once more on the two remaining wisps of light in her palm.

One was made of black and white that blended together yet stayed clearly distinct, symbolizing the Path of Reincarnation.

The other gold wisp of light was formed from countless tiny runes. It represented the Formation Dao.

“So that is how it is.”

It seemed Yu Zhao had understood how to use Dao intent in battle.

At the same time, the outside world was in an uproar.

Everyone stared in disbelief at a narrow image high up in the sky. The scene shown inside was clearly Yu Zhao and her two Dao intent incarnations.

Every person’s will had been sent into the Four Void Mirror, and the scenes it showed were all different.

Some people might keep their original appearance, while others turned into all kinds of objects.

For example, the two body cultivator disciples of Elder Tieshan. In the Four Void Realm, they took the form of two incomparably hard boulders.

Some people split off incarnations of their own Dao intent, but someone like Yu Zhao, who could display multiple Dao intent incarnations at the same time, was something they had never seen before.

At first, everyone’s attention was on cultivators like Lu Jiu Yuan and Du Wu Xiang, who clearly had a better chance of taking first place. Only when someone noticed how different Yu Zhao was did she finally draw everyone’s focus.

“How can she possibly have four kinds of Dao intent at the same time?”

“Who is this person? Why have we never seen her in the Bi Fang Realm before?”

“Can anyone tell which four kinds of Dao intent she cultivates?”

“…”

Ancestor Sui Bian listened to the crowd’s discussion and could not help lifting his head high with pride.

The Old Black Daoist next to him almost had his jaw fall off.

He jabbed Ancestor Sui Bian hard in the waist and said in shock: “Sui Bian, be honest with me. Is Yu Zhao really a disciple of your Five Elements Dao Sect? You didn’t put on that handsome face of yours and go to some reclusive clan to abduct their carefully raised young heir, did you?”

Ancestor Sui Bian frowned unhappily.

“Old Black Daoist, what nonsense are you spouting? Yu Zhao is part of our Five Elements Dao Sect, nailed down and beyond doubt. There is absolutely no fakery! Even if you are jealous, you cannot slander my character like that!”

Old Black Daoist looked a little ashamed. He gave an awkward laugh, though he still felt it was unbelievable.

The fact that he had ascended from the Cultivation World to the Middle World was enough to prove that his talent was also outstanding.

Back then, he had carried great ambitions and sworn to make a famous name for himself in the Middle World, but reality soon wore away his sharp edges.

As a Heaven’s Chosen of the Cultivation World, when he arrived in the Middle World, he turned out to be just an ordinary cultivator among the masses.

Competition here was fierce and strong experts were as numerous as clouds. Geniuses were the last thing anyone lacked.

After living in the Middle World for over a thousand years, the geniuses he had seen were as countless as carp in a river.

Very few people could stir his heart anymore.

Yet Yu Zhao, who had also come from the Cultivation World, had done it.

Old Black Daoist scratched his dry, weed-like hair, feeling a knot of emotions he could not name.

There was joy, excitement, and also a faint, impossible-to-ignore sense of… wistfulness.

[In the end, he really had grown old.]

Before he could remain lost for long, he was jolted awake by a strange laugh next to him that sounded like a duck quacking.

“Gagagaga!”

Ancestor Sui Bian stood with his hands on his hips and laughed loudly, his eyes squinting into slits from sheer delight.

His sudden laughter drew quite a few curious looks.

Even the Sect Leader Wendao of Qingxu Sect looked over, his brows knitting ever so slightly.

So that young woman was an external helper invited by Lingyin Sect.

[It seemed Lingyin Sect would once again have a place in the top ten of this Dao Debate Conference.]

Four Void Realm.

After figuring out how to use Dao intent, Yu Zhao recalled her two incarnations and turned her attention to her surroundings.

The gray and white space should have been completely unobstructed.

But at the edge of the space, a layer of thick fog blocked her sight.

It made it impossible to see clearly.

Yu Zhao was about to casually pick a direction and move forward, but the sight before her made her stop.

Right in her line of sight, the heavy fog suddenly dispersed, revealing a clear scene thousands of meters away.

She could see several vague figures in the empty world.

Those were the will-bodies of the disciples taking part in the competition.

“This is…”

Yu Zhao seemed to think of something, and the confusion in her eyes faded completely.

Ever since leaving Godsfall Land, her eyes had been able to see many things others could not.

She had thought this divine ability could only be used by her true body, but she had not expected that as a will-body, she would still possess this special power.

That meant this ability did not come from her cultivation level, but from some deeper kind of power.

Yu Zhao pressed down the shock in her heart and let her gaze pierce through layer after layer of mist until it landed on a giant about ten zhang tall.

[I will start with you.]

…

Boom, boom, boom!

The ground shook and the wind howled as one huge footprint after another sank deep into the earth.

A battered figure kept his head down and dodged in panic.

“Hahaha! Interesting, this is so interesting!”

Chu Potian laughed loudly and stomped his feet as if he were toying with an ant.

Watching that tiny figure dart around between his legs, his laughter grew even wilder.

“Chu Potian! Once I get out of here, it will be you and me to the death!” the person being toyed with shouted in anger.

“Just you?”

Chu Potian gave a disdainful laugh, raised his huge foot, and stomped down.

With a rumbling boom, the ground instantly collapsed, opening up a huge pit.

The cultivator below was instantly lifted by the shockwave and slammed heavily into the ground. His figure flickered on and off, as if it might shatter at any moment.

“Stand up, you piece of trash!”

The cultivator tried to stand, but every time he so much as moved, Chu Potian would take a step forward.

Under the violent tremors, he had no strength to fight back and could only fall again and again.

Chu Potian waited until he had no strength left at all, then gave a ferocious grin, lifted his foot high, and stomped down hard.

A huge shadow instantly covered the cultivator.

Bang!
