Chapter 1477: Damn It!

The Great Daoist Brush Master frowned deeply. He gave Mu Shanhe a long look, and then he turned toward Ye Guan, asking, "Where the hell did you find this big idiot?"

Ye Guan was at a loss for words.

𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

The Great Daoist Brush Master turned his gaze back to Mu Shanhe.

Just as he was about to speak, Mu Shanhe's figure began to turn illusory. In an instant, everyone present felt an overwhelming pressure crashing down on them.

Saber intent!

No one saw his saber, but they could all feel it. Both he and his saber had reached the Void Breaking Realm!

Everyone was visibly stunned. A Void Breaking Realm expert wasn't exactly surprising for them. Anyone bold enough to show up at a moment like this clearly wasn't a fool, but what caught everyone off guard was that Mu Shanhe wasn't just a saber cultivator; even his saber was a Void Breaker.

Ye Guan was shocked at how low-key Mu Shanhe had been thus far.

A flicker of surprise flashed through the Great Daoist Brush Master's eyes, but his face remained calm. He had witnessed many similar scenes before.

The moment Mu Shanhe and his saber arrived in front of him, a towering saber light that was ten thousand meters long manifested, making the firmament tremble.

The Great Daoist Brush Master calmly lifted a finger and tapped forward.

Boom!

With that single tap, the massive saber light instantly froze mid-air. Time itself seemed to come to a halt. The next moment, the saber light shattered with a deafening blast, exploding like fireworks across the sky.

Mu Shanhe was blasted away. When he finally stopped, he stared at the Great Daoist Brush Master with wide eyes, stunned. "You're not bad."

The Great Daoist Brush Master met his gaze. "You're not bad either."

Mu Shanhe burst out in laughter. He opened his palm, and a phantom saber condensed out of thin air in his hand.

Seeing the illusory saber forming in Mu Shanhe's hand, a flicker of surprise appeared in the Great Daoist Brush Master's eyes.

"You really are a genius... to have comprehended the Dao of Illusions to this extent, you—"

Swoosh!

Before he could finish his sentence, Mu Shanhe was already charging forward with his saber, swinging it fiercely toward the Great Daoist Brush Master's head.

As the saber descended, the spacetime around the Great Daoist Brush Master surged violently. The force behind his attack made everyone present feel a deep sense of awe. Even Ye Guan's expression turned serious.

Brother Mu's strength is a little over the top.

Before he met that mysterious figure, he was probably ridiculously arrogant for a reason...

Yet, faced with such a terrifying slash, the Great Daoist Brush Master's expression remained calm. He extended a single finger. There was no ripple of power from his fingertip, but it effortlessly neutralised Mu Shanhe's strike.

A mysterious force had sealed both Mu Shanhe and his saber in place.

"What the hell?!" Mu Shanhe exclaimed.

The Great Daoist Brush Master flicked his fingers.

Bam!

Mu Shanhe and his saber were blasted into the horizon in the blink of an eye.

When he finally stopped, the overwhelming saber intent and pressure emanating from him was no more. Shockingly, he forcefully gathered them again.

Everyone was stunned by the scene. The man in brocade robes seemed like a fool, but he actually had a terrifying cultivation base!

Mu Shanhe slowly raised his head to look at the Great Daoist Brush Master as blood trickled down the corner of his mouth. He wiped the blood away and glanced at Ye Guan. "Brother Ye... this guy isn't just a

bit

stronger than me!"

Mu Shanhe took a deep breath, then suddenly bellowed, "Again!"

Everyone remained silent, looking confused.

The Great Daoist Brush Master frowned deeply.

Just then, the spacetime around them boiled and churned. Then, to everyone's astonishment, countless strands of Temporal Great Dao appeared. One after another, distinct and powerful saber intents surged forth from the strands.

There were thousands of different saber intents, and each one was incredibly powerful, almost as strong as a Void Breaker.

Where had they come from?

Everyone turned to look at Mu Shanhe in disbelief.

The Great Daoist Brush Master stared at him and chuckled. "Incredible. Truly incredible. I never expected this... You actually trained by syncing with different eras, cultivating different saber Daos in each one, and now you've gathered them all here.

"Aside from that mysterious figure, you're the most creative cultivator I've ever seen.

Hahaha!

"

Syncing cultivation bases from different eras? Everyone was utterly confused, and even Ye Guan was puzzled.

Sui Gujin noticed Ye Guan's confusion and explained, "He should be one of the legendary Reincarnators. Their cultivation method is vastly different from others. In one era, they'll cultivate a single Dao to its peak, and then they'll leave. They'll actually reincarnate into another era to start over, cultivating a different saber Dao from scratch each time."

"These thousands of saber intents? That means he's reincarnated and cultivated in as many different eras, mastering thousands of unique saber Daos that are almost Void Breakers. If they all reach the Void Breaking Realm and are then fused into one..."

Ye Guan's expression was grim. He had never heard of that cultivation method, but it reminded him of someone—the Evil Dao.

The Evil Dao's cultivation method was actually quite similar to that of Mu Shanhe, but clearly, Mu Shanhe had taken it to an even more extreme level.

What made him even more terrifying was that his Dao would remain and keep cultivating on its own while he was busy starting over. It was truly unbelievable!

Both man and Dao were separate entities! Yet, whenever the man needed his Dao, they would come together to help him. He had truly mastered his Dao.

Moreover, these were all his own Daos. It was completely different from the Grand Preceptor's earlier Dao techniques and divine arts.

The Great Daoist Brush Master stared at Mu Shanhe, and a rare look of admiration appeared on his face as he said, "Beneath the Transcendent Realm, you are number one. I truly did not expect that with the path of ascension sealed, you'd somehow carve out a new one on your own.

'Though it still falls short of the Breaking Wall Scripture, it's still extremely impressive."

Mu Shanhe laughed. "Though my Dao has yet to mature, I'm confident that there aren't many in this world capable of besting me. I don't believe I'm so unlucky that I'll keep running into opponents I just barely can't beat.

"Great Daoist Brush Master, come here and die!"

As soon as his words fell, he took to the skies, wielding the power of thousands of Daos, and charged straight at the Great Daoist Brush Master.

With that strike, cracks tore open across the fabric of spacetime.

Unlike Ye Guan, who could shatter space largely due to the unique nature of the Qingxuan Sword, Mu Shanhe was relying entirely on the force of his own Dao.

The saber attack carried a terrifying force that didn't just tear apart the spacetime around the Great Daoist Brush Master. It made the whole place tremble.

Even those at the Void Breaking Realm felt an overwhelming pressure.

Fantian and the Grand Preceptor both wore grim expressions. They had never imagined this man to have hidden so much of his strength.

Facing this fearsome strike, the Great Daoist Brush Master actually smiled.

Then, he calmly extended his right palm outward and gently pressed down.

With that gentle press, Mu Shanhe's terrifying slash was forcibly suppressed.

In that instant, everything seemed frozen in time. Yet, everyone could still feel the overwhelming power radiating from Mu Shanhe's saber. There he stood, gripping his illusory saber tightly, his figure radiating a terrifying saber intent.

The spacetime rifts around him grew larger, and yet, the saber could not advance even half an inch!

It was a Great Dao technique that he had never encountered before, and it was neutralizing his saber force and intent!

Mu Shanhe roared, switching from a one-handed grip to a two-handed one. He swung his massive saber with all his strength, slashing it fiercely toward the Great Daoist Brush Master.

Crack!

When the saber landed, the fabric of spacetime was ripped apart.

Before the strike could reach the Great Daoist Brush Master, however, it stalled, as if something invisible had stopped it in midair. It couldn't go any further.

Mu Shanhe was stunned.

The Great Daoist Brush Master flicked his fingers.

Bam!

The thousands of saber Daos shattered in an instant, and Mu Shanhe was blasted away.

When he stopped, the saber force and intent he had just reformed shattered once again, but he forcibly gathered them again.

They shattered once more.

He tried again and again, but they were shattered.

After dozens of attempts, he still couldn't reform his saber intent.

This was the unmistakable sign of a Great Dao Suppression!

Mu Shanhe clenched his fists tightly, and his face was as pale as a sheet of paper. He looked up at the Great Daoist Brush Master, who smiled faintly and said, "You're impressive... but you're still a little young."

Mu Shanhe took a deep breath and clenched both of his fists. Two illusory sabers formed once more in his grip. He grabbed them, and the scattered saber aura and intent around him condensed.

Just like before, however, they were slowly dissipating.

A fierce expression crossed Mu Shanhe's face. He let out a furious roar, and in that moment, a terrifying saber light shot up to the heavens, piercing the void.

The crumbling saber aura and intent condensed again, and this time, they actually solidified.

The Great Daoist Brush Master chuckled. "Not bad at all."

Mu Shanhe looked at him and said calmly, "I can't beat you."

The Great Daoist Brush Master replied, "Being able to break through my Great Dao Suppression already makes you outstanding. Come work with me. There's a bright future for you."

However, Mu Shanhe shook his head.

The Great Daoist Brush Master asked, "Why not?"

Mu Shanhe turned to look at Ye Guan, scratching his head a bit awkwardly. "Brother Ye, I was trying to show off a little. I didn't expect to end up as a laughingstock."

Ye Guan smiled. "Brother Mu, you're incredibly strong. No one would dare to laugh at you."

Mu Shanhe grinned. "Seems I still have to stay low-key and humble..."

A complex light flashed in his eyes.

Since completing his Great Dao, he had only fought two people in his entire life. One was that mysterious figure, and the other was this Great Daoist Brush Master.

And he lost to both! Damn it! He never believed in luck before, but now... he was starting to believe in it. How could someone be as unlucky as him?

"Now, it's our turn," the Great Daoist Brush Master said, turning to Ye Guan. He then looked at Sui Gujin, saying, "I know you've got some trump cards, woman. Come on, show them."

Sui Gujin calmly said, "You first."

"Alright then, I'll start." The Great Daoist Brush Master grinned. With a casual wave of his hand, he said, "Come, let me introduce you all to the King of Relying on Others..."

The heavens and the earth churned.
