Chapter 1553: The Sword Sundering the Supreme Being

Meng Tianzheng held the Great Luo Sword Embryo, his murderous aura overwhelming the heavens. His tattered golden battle armor, stained with blood, clanged and resonated like a war hymn. He stood like an immovable mountain of the immortal path.

No one dared remain standing before the city gates—all were prostrated on the ground, trembling under the terrifying pressure of a Supreme Being’s wrath.

A flash of azure light streaked across the sky like a battle immortal soaring into the heavens. Meng Tianzheng, gripping the sword embryo, leaped onto the city walls, his killing intent as cold and boundless as the abyss.

At the same time, his entire being blazed like a golden immortal furnace, radiating light that pierced through the cosmos, filling the heavens and earth with its dazzling brilliance.

**”Meng Tianzheng!”**

Though the city walls were shielded by powerful formations, the overwhelming aura was unmistakable. Even so, many creatures shuddered, their faces paling in terror.

The one who cried out was an elderly woman beside Jin Taijun. Before she could finish speaking, her body was flung backward, torn apart, and obliterated—all from a mere glance from Meng Tianzheng.

This was the supreme pressure of a being at the pinnacle of the Human Dao—unstoppable, invincible!

The attendants beside Jin Taijun, both men and women, turned ashen with fear.

**”Fellow Daoist Meng, what is the meaning of this?”** Jin Taijun’s expression shifted repeatedly as she tightly gripped her cane, her knuckles whitening from the force.

She was both furious and alarmed—Meng Tianzheng had arrived in a storm of rage, his intent to slaughter unmistakable!

Others trembled uncontrollably, collapsing to the ground in waves. The Jin Clan’s forces bore the brunt of the pressure, their bodies limp with terror.

The towering man in battle armor radiated fury and boundless killing intent, shaking the souls of all present, threatening to shatter their very forms.

In an instant, everyone prostrated on the ground coughed up blood, their faces deathly pale, shivering uncontrollably.

Whether they were mighty cultivators at the Dunyi Realm or the younger generation, all were seized by primal fear, unable to muster even a shred of resistance.

**”Senior!”**

A member of the Du Clan spoke up.

**”Boom!”**

With a mere shift of the Great Elder’s gaze, the Du Clan members were sent flying, their bodies riddled with cracks, vomiting blood as they collapsed in terror.

This was the might of a Supreme Being—his gaze alone was like a thunderbolt descending from the heavens, lightning crisscrossing the void. Even the so-called great commanders lay trembling like leaves in the wind.

The Great Elder advanced with the sword embryo in hand, each step causing the entire Imperial Pass to tremble in resonance, the earth shaking beneath his might.

His blazing eyes locked onto the distance, wordless yet suffocating in their intensity.

**”Meng Tianzheng, what are you doing? Do not act recklessly!”** Jin Taijun’s body surged with protective energy, divine laws swirling around her as chaos churned in her wake. She was on full alert.

Meng Tianzheng was marching straight toward her, his steps unwavering, his gaze so terrifying that even she, a Supreme Being, felt her heart quail.

Everyone was terrified, especially the Jin Clan’s higher-ups, who lay prostrated, unable to lift their heads, sensing impending doom.

They had never imagined the Great Elder could be this terrifying—so enraged that even Jin Taijun could not shield them.

Fear gripped them all—was Meng Tianzheng about to annihilate the entire Jin Clan?

**”Thud!”**

Jin Taijun struck her cane against the ground, meeting Meng Tianzheng’s gaze head-on. She was prepared to fight, knowing the situation had escalated beyond control.

**”Brother Meng!”** An invincible figure called out, but words failed him.

**”Clang!”**

Meng Tianzheng continued forward, swinging his sword embryo in a decisive slash—no hesitation, no mercy.

**”You—!”** Jin Taijun’s face twisted in shock. She had not expected Meng Tianzheng to strike without a word, denying her any chance to explain.

The sword’s radiance illuminated the heavens, brilliant as a cascading galaxy, its light shaking the cosmos!

Even Jin Taijun, mighty as she was, felt a chill run down her spine. She raised her cane in desperate defense, for this strike was too deadly.

As for the others, their souls quaked in terror, their bodies convulsing under the Supreme’s pressure, on the verge of disintegration.

Had Meng Tianzheng directed even a wisp of his aura toward them, none would have survived.

The leaders of various clans trembled like autumn leaves, their bodies spasming uncontrollably under the overwhelming force.

**”Clang!”**

The sword embryo descended like a river of stars, its momentum shaking heaven and earth, as if cleaving through history itself.

Jin Taijun’s protective energy erupted, divine chains of order clashing violently as she fought back with everything she had.

**”Clank!”**

Her cane met the sword embryo in a deafening clash, sparks flying as divine runes exploded in a dazzling display.

Then—everything blurred. Chaos surged as if the world was being remade.

**”Crack!”**

The cane, infused with immortal metal, shattered under the sword’s edge.

The strike was too sharp, its divine might unmatched, its radiance eclipsing the sun.

**”Splat!”**

Blood sprayed from Jin Taijun’s chest as the sword tore through her, nearly bisecting her body, exposing white bone.

The sight was horrifying—Meng Tianzheng had wounded Jin Taijun in a single slash!

From shoulder to abdomen, the wound was gruesome, her bones jutting out, Supreme blood gushing forth.

Everyone paled—Meng Tianzheng’s power was unfathomable!

Even the invincible ones widened their eyes in shock.

Wang Changsheng’s pupils constricted, his youthful face stiffening as he witnessed the scene, realizing the full extent of the Great Elder’s might.

As for the rest, they trembled in awe—this was divine retribution beyond comprehension.

Jin Taijun, in their eyes, was an insurmountable peak, yet she had been nearly cleaved in two by a single strike!

The reasons were twofold: Meng Tianzheng’s unparalleled might, and the sword embryo’s unique nature—it devoured immortal metals, refining them into itself while reducing the rest to scrap.

Thus, when the cane broke, its immortal essence was absorbed, leaving only dross behind.

**”Boom!”**

Jin Taijun staggered backward, blood staining half her body, each step leaving deep imprints in the ground—proof of the terrifying force surging through her.

The Jin Clan’s members were petrified. How could their Supreme Being be forced back by a single strike?

If Meng Tianzheng truly unleashed his fury, who could stop him? Annihilating ten of their clans would be effortless!

Even the invincible ones were stunned.

Only Wang Changsheng remained calm, his gaze deep as he assessed the Great Elder’s true strength.

**”Cough!”**

Jin Taijun spat another mouthful of blood before finally steadying herself.

Yet, as the Jin, Du, and Wang Clans cowered in fear, Meng Tianzheng did not advance further. Instead, he strode to the battlements, gazing toward the desert.

The forces of the Otherworldly Realm were retreating like a receding tide, vanishing beyond the horizon.

**”Whoosh!”**

Meng Tianzheng vanished from the walls, reappearing before the city gates in a flash of light.

The next moment—he charged out of the Imperial Pass alone, sword in hand!

**”He’s charging the Otherworldly army… alone!”** someone stammered in disbelief.

Those who supported Shi Hao roared with fervor. This was Meng Tianzheng—peerless in valor, daring to face an entire army single-handedly!

Only now did they understand his earlier actions.

His fury toward Jin Taijun had been secondary—his true goal was to locate the enemy forces.

Even Jin Taijun’s face twisted in humiliation. Had she been nothing more than an afterthought? A mere nuisance swatted aside?

The others, too, were stunned, their expressions complex.

**”Kill!”**

The Great Elder’s roar shook the desert, his voice echoing across mountains and rivers.

Without hesitation, he pursued, swinging his sword in a sweeping arc, aiming to annihilate the retreating forces.

Sword light blazed across the heavens, illuminating the hearts of all who longed for battle, filling them with fervor.

A terrifying figure from the Otherworldly Realm emerged to face him—a monstrous presence like a demonic mountain.

**”Boom!”**

Divine light blotted out the sun as the sky shattered.

A black war chariot exploded under Meng Tianzheng’s slash, its fragments scattering across the desert.

And from the chaos, a monstrous figure stepped forth—ready to clash with the Great Elder!
