Chapter 1679: Immortality

The sky was dark and gloomy, with lightning bolts tearing through the heavens, splitting the firmament asunder. Massive meteors drifted ominously, their colossal forms casting eerie shadows.

The celestial expanse was fractured, with great stars rotating in a suffocating display of power. Many of them burned fiercely, transforming into enormous fireballs that plummeted toward the earth.

The heavens crumbled, the earth split—this was nothing short of an apocalyptic scene.

The vast desert, though immense, seemed insignificant in comparison.

All of this was caused by two beings, whose radiance blotted out the sky and swept across the heavens and earth, rendering even the boundless desert beneath them insignificant.

“Hahaha…”

From the opposite side, the immortal being broke the stalemate. He hailed from a foreign realm, his mana surging like a tempest, his Dao principles resonating like thunder. As he strode through the void, his presence alone shook the world.

“I look forward to trampling this so-called pure land beneath my feet!”

At this moment, he was invincible—no one could oppose him!

For he was an immortal being, equivalent to a True Immortal, a powerhouse of the Immortal Dao. In the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, True Immortals were rare—who could stand against him?

In a sense, he was the strongest being of this era!

The Abyss of Heaven had severed the connection to the foreign realm, preventing other mighty beings from crossing over. That world, that space, had no ties to this one. Now, in this desolate wasteland, he was the only immortal being left!

Meng Tianzheng faced him calmly, silent, yet the light around him grew even more dazzling, dense and radiant, transforming into the glow of ascension.

“Once I kill you, no one will stand in my way!”

The immortal being spoke coldly, though his gaze burned with fervor. He peered into the distance, as if trying to see through the Imperial Pass to the boundless lands beyond.

No one in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths could stop him—this meant that for a long time to come, he would be the undisputed ruler of this newly conquered territory!

By then, the fortune of the entire world would converge upon him alone. Perhaps he could even break through to greater heights—this was his ambition!

This so-called fortune was not fate or destiny, but tangible, supreme providence.

If he reigned supreme over this world, all opportunities, all the epoch’s blessings, would belong to him alone, gathered upon the only immortal being.

At that point, it might truly be possible for him to shatter his limits.

“HAHAHA—!” The immortal being laughed, shaking the entire Imperial Pass with his voice, as if it might collapse at any moment. The onlookers paled in terror.

Who could have predicted that, at the final moment, an immortal being would arrive?

“Clang!”

The immortal being moved. With a flick of his wrist, runes intertwined, and his right hand—hard as immortal metal—clanged as it shot forward, aiming to crush Meng Tianzheng’s skull.

Cold and ruthless, he sought to eliminate this anomaly immediately, ensuring his dominance over this world.

**BOOM!**

Meng Tianzheng erupted with power, unshaken and brimming with battle intent. His Immortal Dao radiance surged, blazing fiercely as it spread in all directions.

He shone with boundless brilliance, standing beside his demonic counterpart as if they could split the heavens and recreate an epoch.

**BOOM!**

The sky shattered, the cosmos collapsed, and meteors rained down.

This was the Immortal Dao realm—without a doubt, Meng Tianzheng had somehow stepped into this domain through unimaginable means, his mana vast and inexhaustible.

This was not the aura of a man nearing the end of his life. His vitality was too overwhelming, his strength unfathomable.

“**DIE!**”

Meng Tianzheng roared, giving his all in this final, glorious battle.

A single regret lingered in his heart—he had never ascended to immortality.

But now, he had a chance to amend that. He was fighting an immortal being, clashing with a being of this level, defying the heavens to slay an immortal!

Perhaps, in this battle, he could truly become a Battle Immortal.

The battle was fierce!

Two Meng Tianzhengs—one with jet-black hair, the other with snow-white locks—both youthful, charged forward together.

One struck with fists, the other with palms, wielding the mysteries of the Indestructible Scripture and more!

Their coordination was flawless, the interplay of Yin and Yang embodying the very essence of the Great Dao!

**Clang! Clang! Clang!**

Sparks flew, the heavens split, and they clashed repeatedly with the colossal hand descending from the sky. The terrifying aftermath sent meteors crashing down one after another.

With a thunderous roar, they soared into the heavens, ascending beyond the clouds!

“Where do you think you’re going?!”

The immortal being gave chase, his pupils contracting slightly in surprise. Earlier, a single finger strike had failed to subdue his opponent.

Now, even his full-handed assault had not instantly killed this being. This made him wary.

**Whoosh!**

In an instant, the immortal being’s body turned silver-white, his skin as if forged from molten silver. An even more terrifying aura erupted from him—he could no longer afford to be careless.

If he underestimated his foe and suffered a grievous loss here, it would be too late for regrets.

He could see that Meng Tianzheng’s state was peculiar, as if he had truly stepped into the Immortal Dao. This was the result of countless years of accumulation, the perfect fusion of divine and demonic essences.

**Hummm!**

The void shattered as the silver-white immortal being, his hair cascading like a river of stars, lashed out with strands that could sunder the heavens.

Each strand shimmered with immortal runes, sweeping toward Meng Tianzheng with unstoppable force.

Who would dare oppose a being radiating Immortal Dao light so brazenly? The immortal being did so without hesitation, striking with absolute dominance.

**BANG!**

Meng Tianzheng sidestepped, unleashing Solar True Flames that ignited the heavens, attempting to burn through the silver strands.

Yet, the strands, shielded by immortal runes, remained unscathed.

Meanwhile, the white-haired body that had emerged from the bow roared, spewing forth frigid Lunar Flames—the runes of the Yin Dao.

When Yin and Yang collided, the resulting inferno pierced the heavens, filling the world with blazing symbols that made souls tremble.

**BOOM!**

Beyond the heavens, countless stars were incinerated, their remnants raining down upon the wasteland.

The sight was awe-inspiring—crimson stars exploding, massive meteors blanketing the sky.

This was a battle of the Immortal Dao, where a single move could collapse the cosmos.

**Whoosh!**

The silver strands retracted as the immortal being’s expression shifted. Had this opponent truly achieved an alternative path to immortality? It was unnerving.

No longer daring to hold back, he focused his power, clenched his fist, and charged forward once more.

An immortal’s strike—the heavens fell silent, obliterated by the terrifying radiance that swept across the void, reducing all falling meteors to dust.

And this was merely the aftershock. The true attack, the lethal technique, was aimed squarely at Meng Tianzheng.

**BANG!**

Meng Tianzheng, in his dual forms, met the assault head-on. The resulting explosion of light shattered the heavens, the Great Dao itself resonating in protest.

But soon, Meng Tianzheng was sent flying, blood spilling from his lips. Both of his bodies suffered the same fate.

This was the might of an immortal being—nigh unstoppable!

“You think you can oppose me?!” the immortal being roared, his silver hair wild, his metallic body gleaming with terrifying intensity.

**BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!**

The heavens trembled as beams of destruction erupted beyond the firmament.

Each punch he threw annihilated stars, reducing them to cosmic dust.

This was a battle of the Immortal Dao—the most dazzling, the most perilous.

The very cosmos was collapsing under their clash, countless celestial bodies obliterated.

“**DIE!**”

The immortal being raged, unleashing his full power. Fearful of unforeseen consequences, he held nothing back, striking relentlessly.

One could see colossal lightning bolts tearing through the void, illuminating the darkness, dwarfing even the stars themselves—his killing intent made manifest.

His fists were peerless!

Meng Tianzheng was forced back again and again, coughing blood. This was his first battle against an immortal being, and he now understood their overwhelming might.

“An alternative path to immortality? I think not! You lack the heavens’ acknowledgment, the baptism, the judgment of the cosmos—you are unworthy!”

The immortal being’s voice was icy, his mana swelling to apocalyptic levels.

Meng Tianzheng roared, his armor resonating like immortal swords, erupting with golden radiance to block the incoming strikes.

Both of his bodies bled as they rushed toward each other—then, with a thunderous crash, they merged!

In that moment, Meng Tianzheng underwent a shocking transformation. Death and vitality intertwined, chaos and Immortal Dao light enveloping him.

“**The Seed Within, the Broken Path Reforged!**” he bellowed.

His regrets, his unfulfilled dreams, his lifelong aspirations—all erupted at once. Countless doors within him opened, unleashing eternal power.

The light of ascension swept across the heavens and earth as his aura surged.

“**I shall borrow your immortal head to mend my regrets!**”

**BOOM!**

“**On the path to immortality, I slay the undying!**”

With a roar that shook the heavens, Meng Tianzheng charged forth, wielding boundless Immortal Dao radiance, aiming to obliterate the immortal being before him.
