3: Shocking all sectors

Although the Heavenly Dao of Qingyun Realm couldn't compare to the Heavenly Dao of Ancient Desolate Dao Domain, the Heavenly Dao still had its dignity.

If it didn't suppress Lin Xiao's growth with its pressure, everyone should doubt whether the Heavenly Dao of Qingyun Realm was dead.

Otherwise, if everyone shouted 'Heaven-Defying' as their slogan, what kind of order would that be?

Although Cultivation was said to be Heaven-Defying, only a few truly deserved to be called Heaven-Defying.

Lin Xiao could be counted, those old monsters who became Saints could be counted, and other ancient powerhouses who condensed their Dao Hearts could also be counted.

As for everyone else...

Sorry, they don't qualify!!!

They were merely ants nurtured by the Heavenly Dao; what right did they have to talk about being Heaven-Defying?

Below a Saint, all were mere fodder; only those with a Dao Heart were qualified to compete.

If the Dao Heart was not formed, no matter how powerful one's talent, it was not worth mentioning.

As the Dao Heart became more solid, the lightning energy above the sky also grew more immense.

It seemed as if it could strike down at any moment, causing countless beings in Qingyun Realm to tremble with fear.

"Such terrifying pressure, is the end of the world coming?"

Just then, in Lin Xiao's mind, the System's electronic prompt sounded again.

"Ding, detecting the Host's current predicament, granting the Host three choices!"

Immediately after, the blue screen reappeared.

"Choice One: Confront the Heavenly Dao head-on and forcefully condense your Dao Heart, obtaining the Great Dao Treasure Arts: Great Devouring Art."

"Choice Two: Humbly plead with the Heavenly Dao, asking it not to strike you down while you condense your Dao Heart, obtaining the Great Dao Treasure Arts: Great Supplication Art."

"Choice Three: Give up on condensing your Dao Heart, flee back to the Ancient Desolate Dao Domain in disgrace, obtaining the Great Dao Treasure Arts: Great Stealth Art."

Lin Xiao glanced at the choice template provided by the System, smiled slightly, and made his choice without hesitation.

"Does this even need saying? Of course, I choose one. What Cultivator of our generation fears a battle? Let's just go for it."

After speaking, Lin Xiao looked up at the rolling thunder in the sky and shouted loudly.

"You old dog of the Heavens, bring out whatever Moves you have! Today, I, Lin Xiao, swear to condense my Dao Heart even if it means death."

"However, for you, the Heavenly Dao of a mere lower-tier Qingyun Realm, to even dream of suppressing me, is truly laughable."

"You can't defeat me; you'll only make me stronger. The day I rule the world will be the day you submit to me."

Lin Xiao laughed aloud, filled with the arrogance only a young Prodigy possessed.

Hearing this, everyone in Immeasurable Holy Land couldn't help but gasp in unison.

"Good heavens, he dares to insult the Heavenly Dao and even intends to enslave it. This is probably the first person in history to do so."

"Ding, choice successful. Congratulations to the Host for obtaining the Great Dao Treasure Arts: Great Devouring Art. All things in the world, nothing cannot be devoured."

As the words fell, the System's voice rang out, and a method filled with the supreme Dao erupted in Lin Xiao's mind.

It was precisely the Great Devouring Art, a supreme Treasure Art derived from the Great Devouring Dao, one of the three thousand supreme Daos.

It was said to devour everything, without exception, devouring the heavens and earth, terrifying to such an extent!

Rumble!!!

Rumble!!!

Rumble!!!

As if sensing the provocation from Lin Xiao, the pressure of the entire world once again Broke through to a whole new level. The entire thunder was filled with the power of death and annihilation.

"Such terrifying pressure. It seems the Heavenly Dao is truly enraged and wants to put this child to death."

Inside Immeasurable Holy Land, the withered old man murmured, looking at the rolling thunder in the sky, his eyes filled with fear.

That was an instinct displayed by the weak in the face of absolute tyrannical strength, and others were the same.

However, all of this was the exact opposite in Lin Xiao's eyes. There was no trace of fear; instead, his Battle Intent surged, and his eyes sparkled with brilliance.

"Since it's here, let it come even more fiercely." Lin Xiao laughed loudly.

Rumble!!!

The moment he laughed, countless bolts of lightning surged, rapidly striking towards Lin Xiao's Dao Heart, which was about to condense successfully, in an instant.

The lightning turned into rain, like a storm, wildly unleashing itself throughout the entire Immeasurable Holy Land.

In a short moment, the Holy Land of Qingyun Realm, which had stood for tens of millions of years, was instantly reduced to ruins.

If the lightning had not been aimed solely at Lin Xiao, countless casualties would have occurred by now.

"The opportunity has come!" Seeing the world-ending lightning strike towards him, Lin Xiao smiled knowingly.

If it had been a while ago, he might still have had some reservations, fearing he would be struck dead by the lightning, but now... the greater the lightning energy, the better, Lin Xiao thought with a smile.

With the Great Devouring Art, which was said to devour all things, the greater the lightning energy, the greater the benefit to him.

As long as he devoured all the lightning energy born from this Qingyun Realm, Lin Xiao believed his life level would surely enter a brand new stage.

Thinking this, Lin Xiao quickly began to circulate the newly acquired Great Devouring Art.

"Great Devouring Art, devour for me!" Lin Xiao shouted.

As soon as his voice fell, the entire world instantly darkened, as if a giant abyss mouth was tearing at the Heavenly Dao of Qingyun Realm.

Rumble!!!

Boom boom!!!

Boom!!!

The terrifying power of lightning, before it even had a chance to strike Lin Xiao's body, had already become void.

And immediately after, the Qi on Lin Xiao's body also began to surge abruptly at that instant.

Life and Death Realm second level... Life and Death Realm third level... Life and Death Realm fourth level... Life and Death Realm fifth level... It wasn't until Life and Death Realm fifth level that his cultivation gradually stabilized, and his Dao Heart also transformed from illusory to solid in that instant, merging into his body.

"Did I succeed?" Seeing this scene, Lin Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, panting, and couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.

That scene just now was truly too perilous. Thinking back to the terrifying power unleashed by the Heavenly Dao's lightning, Lin Xiao couldn't help but still feel some lingering fear.

It seems I was still too arrogant. The Heavenly Dao is indeed the Heavenly Dao. Even if Qingyun Realm is just a lower-tier Dao Domain, it's not an existence to be easily provoked.

If not for the Great Devouring Art given by the System, he would probably be dead without even a trace left, Lin Xiao thought to himself.

He made up his mind that in the future, he still needed to be more respectful in front of the Heavenly Dao.

This time, he was fortunate to encounter a minor Heavenly Dao like Qingyun Realm, but what if he encountered a great Heavenly Dao like that of Ancient Desolate Dao Domain?

Lin Xiao felt that if he said one arrogant word, he might not even finish speaking before he was reduced to dust.

"I still need to become stronger," Lin Xiao thought.

If that were the case, perhaps when he reached the Peak of the Four Transformations of Ascension to King, he might be able to contend with the Heavenly Dao of Ancient Desolate Dao Domain.

Thinking this, Lin Xiao instantly yearned even more for the power of the Saint Realm.

"Strength, indeed, is a good thing."

"Thank you, Original Host, for giving me a brand new life. Although it was an accident, I, Lin Xiao, will remember your kindness. Rest in peace."
