Chapter 473 The 'Legend' Above Natural Disasters [4000 words]

After setting up a special 'vector matrix', the voice of the Heavenly Dao clearly reached every corner of the square.

"This array is called 'Azure Star', and it has three effects within the matrix."

"First, early warning and perception. The entire airspace within a thousand miles is under monitoring. As long as any abyssal energy or malicious individuals approach, they can be locked on immediately, and the information will also be synchronized to the Star Envoy Association's central hub."

"Secondly, it has a defensive barrier that can withstand even the full-force attacks of a late-stage Heavenly Calamity Realm expert. Multiple Heavenly Calamity Realm experts working together can hold out for more than an hour."

"Thirdly, it is an active strangulation technique. The vector blade shadows inside are specifically designed to counter abyssal creatures. Even the projections of high-level abyssal lords are difficult to withstand."

As soon as Tiandao finished speaking, he flicked his fingertip, and a slender, azure-blue force line shot into the light net with a 'whoosh'.

The next second, the huge net of light lit up instantly, and countless azure runes flowed and surged across the surface of the net like playful fireflies. An aura carrying the pressure of rules spread out, causing the star envoys below to subconsciously hold their breath.

In the distance, a low-level abyssal flying insect, oblivious to its fate, strayed into the warning range. The moment it touched the edge of the light net, it was sliced ​​into pieces by countless tiny vector blade shadows, disappearing without a sound.

'Haha, this abyssal flying insect is so pitiful, it perfectly demonstrates what it means to be annihilated upon contact.'

'That blade's speed is too fast! It's invisible to the naked eye.'

'The Star Envoys' expressions are so realistic, they look like they're worshipping a powerful figure.'

Although the Heavenly Dao was powerful enough before.

Compared to his current cataclysmic strength, the dimensional viewers felt that the current Heavenly Dao was on a completely different level from his previous self.

Because although the Heavenly Dao was strong before, it was the kind of existence where you could still see some 'shadow' of it.

The current state of Heaven has exceeded the expectations of most viewers in this dimension.

It's impossible to determine his maximum potential.

Amidst the playful banter in the comments, the high-ranking members of the Martial Arts Heavenly Capital Star Envoy Association in the scene appeared to be part of a pre-arranged "atmosphere team."

They all began to praise the actions of Heaven.

The white-haired old man was so excited that his body was trembling slightly. He said, "On behalf of the Star Envoy Association of Martial Capital and many citizens of Martial Capital, I thank you for your help."

After saying that, he bowed his head deeply.

The other star envoys also followed suit and bowed.

Although this act had a strong performative element, it was a case of "a beautiful sedan chair needs many people to carry it."

Faced with everyone's 'goodwill', Heaven gently raised its hand, and a gentle force field steadily lifted everyone up.

"There's no need for that; it's just what I should be doing."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Heavenly Dao's gaze swept across the Star Envoys in the square, finally landing on Lei Xiao and Shi Jian.

"Senior Lei, Senior Shi, I'll leave the follow-up cleaning and inventory of supplies at the meteorite ruins to you two."

"Although the Tianyuan Organization has been destroyed, there may still be remnants hiding there. We must wipe them out completely and not give them a chance to rise from the ashes."

"rest assured."

Lei Xiao and Shi Jian responded in unison, their eyes filled with solemnity.

Just then, the azure-blue Star Eclipse Heavenly Eye of the Heavenly Dao suddenly lit up, its gaze piercing through layers of void as if penetrating paper, looking towards the subspace where the Pisces constellation itself was located.

He could clearly sense that the energy fluctuations of Pisces were becoming increasingly violent, and were rapidly gathering other abyssal energies.

Clearly, this guy wasn't willing to accept it.

What's even more interesting is that there are several different abyss powerhouses around Pisces, it seems that he has found helpers to back him up.

Upon realizing this, Tiandao's lips curled into a cold yet slightly amused smile. His eyes showed no fear, but rather only excited fighting spirit.

"Looks like they haven't given up yet."

With a thought, the azure vector force field around Tiandao spread out once again.

Moreover, this time it did not restrain itself, but instead spread deeper into the subspace, forming an invisible energy barrier that completely separated the Martial Capital from the dangerous areas outside.

Then, the Heavenly Dao raised its hand and clenched its fist in the void, and a pale blue token formed from pure vector rules appeared in its palm with a 'snap'.

The token was covered with complex runes, which was the control core of the 'Azure Star'.

He handed the token to the president of the Star Envoy Association of Martial Arts Capital, his tone becoming more serious.

"This is the control token of Azure Star. If there is an emergency, I can sense it instantly by crushing the token and rush back immediately."

The white-haired old man took the token and solemnly assured, "Don't worry, I won't misuse it."

After dealing with these matters, Tiandao moved, transforming into a streak of azure light, and flew towards the subspace outside the Martial Capital with a 'whoosh'.

After the breakthrough, he not only had better control over his Vector Avenue, but also unlocked the skill of 'Space Jump'.

Without relying on a starship, they can freely travel through subspace at a speed much faster than top-tier starships.

In the distant subspace, the atmosphere inside the palace of Pisces was so oppressive it seemed to drip water.

Pisces clutched the wound on his chest, his face terribly grim, and dark blue blood seeped continuously from between his fingers.

Standing before it were three Abyss powerhouses who also exuded the aura of the Calamity Realm; they were all companions of the Zodiac.

Projections of Cancer, Scorpio, and Aquarius.

These figures were hidden in the shadows, and their full appearance could not be seen.

But from that profound and heavy aura, one can tell that even if they are just their clones, their strength is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

After all, their true forms are 'legendary' beings that transcend natural disasters.

"Pisces, are you talking about that human named Tiandao?"

"To be able to injure you from this distance, this human's strength is quite formidable."

The projection of Cancer's voice was hoarse, with a clear sense of apprehension in its tone.

"Hmph, just lucky!"

Pisces snorted coldly, his eyes filled with resentment.

"He has just broken through to the Heavenly Calamity Realm, and his foundation is not yet stable. Now is the best time to capture that kid alive."

Upon hearing this, a sinister glint flashed in the Scorpio projection's eyes.

"Capturing him alive is too much trouble, just kill him directly."

Just as they were discussing how to deal with the Heavenly Dao, a pale blue vector force line suddenly pierced through the spatial barrier of the palace with a 'poof' and stuck to the ground in front of them like a sharp sword.

The vector force line carried the cold will of Heaven, instantly freezing the auras of the four Calamity Realm experts.

"It was really not easy to find you guys."

The voice of Heaven traveled along the vector force lines, piercing through the void and exploding within the oppressive palace.

Before Pisces and the others could respond, the azure vector force line nailed to the ground suddenly erupted, and a circle of light blue energy ripples spread out, blasting a crater several kilometers deep into the ground of Pisces Palace, sending debris and energy fragments flying everywhere.

After doing all this, the vector force lines turned into light spots and dissipated, as if it were just an 'invitation' casually issued by the Heavenly Dao.

Inside the palace, the atmosphere among the four Pisces remained completely still.

They never expected the Heavenly Dao to be so arrogant, daring to come alone after only recently breaking through.

Who does he think he is?

Ennet?

"Extremely arrogant!"

Pisces was both shocked and furious. A sharp pain shot through the wound on his chest, a lingering effect of being injured by the Heavenly Dao from a distance.

The Scorpio projection beside him spoke in a sinister tone: "Since he's willingly throwing his life away, then we'll grant him his wish. With our four clones working together, even if he's a true peak-level Calamity, he's doomed."

"go!"

The Aquarius projection spoke indifferently and turned to fly out of the palace first.

The other three followed closely behind. The four clones, exuding a terrifying aura of the Cataclysmic Realm, transformed into four streaks of black light, broke through the subspace barrier, and sped towards the Meteor Battlefield.

At the same time, the Heavenly Dao hovered in the center of the void, its azure vector force field slowly flowing around it, shattering all the floating meteorite fragments around it.

He closed his eyes, as if he were resting, but in reality, he had already spread his perception to the surroundings through vector rules, and no movement could escape his perception.

"coming."

The Heavenly Dao slowly opened its eyes, and a glint of light flashed in its azure Star-Eroded Heavenly Eye.

Ripples appeared on the distant subspace barrier, and four dark figures suddenly appeared, which were the projections of Pisces, Cancer, Scorpio, and Aquarius.

The four clones formed a fan shape, surrounding the Heavenly Dao. The terrifying abyssal energy spread out like a tide, causing the entire surrounding space to distort.

"You do have guts, but you will eventually pay the price for your arrogance."

Pisces stared at the Heavenly Dao with icy eyes, as if he were a corpse.

A disdainful smile curled at the corner of Tiandao's lips. He glanced at the four clones and calmly said, "They're just four cowardly clones. They're not enough to make me pay the price."

Upon hearing this, the Cancer clone was the first to fly into a rage. It suddenly raised its hand, and countless pitch-black abyssal tentacles surged out from the void, wrapping around the Heavenly Dao.

These tentacles are covered with barbs and emit corrosive abyssal energy. Even a high-ranking star envoy would be instantly corroded into bones if touched by them.

Faced with the surging tentacles of the abyss, the Heavenly Dao remained still, merely flicking its fingertips.

A slender, azure vector force line shot out, like a sharp scalpel, precisely slicing through all the tentacles of the abyss.

Chi Chi Chi!
Countless tentacles were instantly sliced ​​into pieces, and black sap splattered. The moment it came into contact with the vector force field surrounding the Heavenly Dao, it was completely annihilated.

"?!"

The Cancer clone's pupils shrank, its face filled with disbelief.

Its abyssal tentacles contain primordial power, which even a Calamity-level expert would find difficult to break so easily.

At the same time, Scorpio's clone suddenly disappeared from its original spot and reappeared behind Tiandao the next second. A jet-black scythe materialized in its hand, carrying the power to tear through space, and it slashed towards the back of Tiandao's head.

This slash was extremely fast, containing terrifying cutting rules, and could easily cleave through even spatial barriers.

The Aquarius clone raised its hand and waved, and countless icy blue abyssal ice crystals appeared out of thin air, raining down on the Heavenly Dao like a storm.

These ice crystals contain extreme cold, capable of freezing energy and rules. Once struck, even a Calamity-level powerhouse would be instantly frozen.

Meanwhile, Pisces gathers abyssal energy in the distance, preparing to launch a fatal blow.

The four clones attacked simultaneously, their offensive covering all of Heaven's escape routes. Each move contained the power of the rules of the Calamity Realm. Any Calamity-level expert would probably have to avoid their sharp edge.

But Heaven remained calm in the face of this all-encompassing attack.

"too slow."

Tiandao spoke softly, his figure weaving through the gaps in the attacks like a ghost. All the attacks grazed his clothes and couldn't touch his body at all.

The azure vector force field around him suddenly erupted, and countless vector blade shadows, condensed to the extreme, appeared out of thin air, like a sky full of stars, sweeping towards his four clones.

Bang bang bang!
A series of explosions rang out. Just as Scorpio's jet-black scythe was about to touch the Heavenly Dao, it was struck by a vector blade shadow and shattered instantly.

Before Aquarius's abyssal ice crystals could even get close to the Heavenly Dao, they were shredded into dust by the blade shadow.

Just as Cancer was about to launch another attack, he was struck by several blades at the same time, his body was instantly pierced with several holes, and black energy continued to leak out.

"No, your field is wrong, you..."

The Cancer clone let out a horrified scream, its body began to turn transparent, clearly on the verge of collapse.

Ignoring his exclamation, the Heavenly Dao flashed and appeared in front of the Cancer clone, shooting out a blue line of energy from its fingertip that pierced directly through his core.

With a 'bang', Cancer's clone completely disintegrated, turning into a wisp of black energy that dissipated into the void.

After dealing with Cancer, Tiandao turned to look at the other three clones.

At this moment, the three clones all had extremely solemn expressions, their eyes filled with astonishment.

They hadn't expected the Heavenly Dao to be so powerful. Even with four clones working together, they couldn't even touch the hem of his clothes, and one of them was easily killed.

"spread!"

The Pisces clone was the first to react and immediately prepared to distance itself from the Heavenly Dao.

It realized that the human in front of it was far beyond their ability to deal with, and that staying would only lead to their death.

"You want to leave now? It's too late."

Tiandao snorted coldly, and with a thought, the vector force field around him instantly transformed into a huge azure light net, enveloping the entire battlefield.

The light net contracted, and countless vector blade shadows erupted once more, chasing after the three fleeing clones.

The Scorpio clone let out a desperate roar, only to be overtaken by countless vector blade shadows and its body was instantly shredded into pieces.

The Aquarius clone tried to block it, but its rules were no match for the rules of vectors and were instantly disintegrated, its body collapsing as well.

Only the Pisces clone remained. It used all its strength, burning the primal energy of this important clone, to barely break free from the light net and escape into the subspace.

But how could Heaven possibly give him that chance?

A pale blue vector force line shot out like lightning, accurately striking the core of the Pisces clone.

"puff!"

The Pisces clone spat out a mouthful of dark blue blood, its body momentarily frozen, before disintegrating and dissipating.

Even in its final moments of dissipation, its eyes were still filled with disbelief.

It couldn't understand until its death why the Heavenly Dao, which had just broken through to the Calamity Realm, was so powerful.

In the short time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the four calamity-level clones of the Zodiac were easily killed by the Heavenly Dao, and none of them were able to escape.

Before long, the abyssal energy on the battlefield was completely annihilated by the vector force field of the Heavenly Dao, and peace was restored.

From the perspective of the viewers in the anime/manga world, the entire battle process completely thrilled them, and the barrage of comments flooded the screen like a tidal wave.

"Holy crap! That's so cool! Four against one and they still got crushed?"

"I thought these four clones were incredibly powerful, but they're like ants in front of Lao Tian?"

"Is this the ceiling of the Star Realm? It's already this powerful right after the breakthrough. Just where is the limit of the Prison Heaven Realm?"

"I was worried that Lao Tian would underestimate his opponent and be killed by the plot, but now it seems I was overthinking it. Lao Tian's strength is simply a matter of being outmatched!"

On the battlefield, the Heavenly Dao slowly withdrew its vector force field, its gaze fixed on the subspace where the Pisces body was located, a cold glint flashing in its eyes.

"This is just the beginning."

He spoke softly, his voice carrying an undeniable authority.

After saying that, Tiandao moved and transformed into a streak of azure light, flying towards Martial Capital.

Back in the training room of Martial Arts Capital, Tiandao sat cross-legged and began to sort out the insights he had gained from the battle.

Killing the four Zodiac sign clones did not consume much of his energy; on the contrary, it made him more proficient in controlling vector rules.

He could clearly feel that his strength was steadily improving, and he was getting closer and closer to surpassing the Calamity level and touching the legendary realm.
