Chapter 2327: You Don’t Decide Whether I’m Worthy or Not

“You don’t decide whether I’m worthy to become the heavens or not.

“You don’t have the right to judge whether I can succeed in becoming the heavens or not either!”

In the instant that the sanguine red blade fell, the reflections of hundreds of millions of stars suddenly appeared in Chen Chen’s eyes. At the same time, the boundless universe within him was instantly released, bringing with it a set of paramount nomological laws as well as a paramount power!

Whoosh!

At some unknown time, Chen Chen had already swapped places with the mortal old woman. Thus, at this moment, it was Chen Chen who was facing the plunging sanguine red blade.

The members of the Heaven Crushing Sect were extremely familiar with this sight.

After all, this was how Xue Yan had been teleported onto the scale before.

However, they hadn’t imagined that Chen Chen would also possess such an incredible ability. This was a paramount power that could transform one’s thoughts into reality…

This was the magnificent power of the universe’s will!

“You’ve dared to break the rules, so you must face the consequences…” the faceless person said in a somber voice.

In the blink of an eye, two sanguine red blades that were radiating with a devastating aura of death had already materialized above Xue Yan’s and the old woman’s heads.

Meanwhile, another sanguine red blade had already plunged toward Chen Chen’s body. However, this blade was completely dissolved by his Spotless Realm, eventually transforming into countless microscopic particles. It was as if a gust of wind had dissipated the powerful aura of death. Everything was reduced to dust, and everything was reduced to ashes.

Not only that, but a white halo of light that was unique to Chen Chen’s Spotless Realm also enveloped Xue Yan and the old woman’s bodies, transforming the sanguine red blade above them into nothing but dust.

Chen Chen easily suppressed the faceless person’s counterattack.

“I choose to save both of them, regardless of whether it’s Xue Yan or the old woman,” the young man said in a calm voice as he gazed at the faceless person. “You can’t change my choice, even if you’re the heavens.”

“Hahaha…” The faceless person suddenly started to laugh, saying, “But you’ve already made your choice. Your Dao Heart, have you looked at your Dao Heart?”

The faceless person didn’t feel the disappointment of defeat. Instead, their laughter started to become increasingly carefree. It was as if they had achieved victory.

Chen Chen remained silent as he slowly stood up. However, a hint of disappointment and exasperation involuntarily spread across his face.

Cyril silently shouted “trouble” in his mind upon seeing this.

“Chen Chen…” Xue Yan became even more guilty and remorseful upon seeing Chen Chen’s expression. She clenched her pale and soft hands into fists, and she angrily scolded herself for being so weak and incapable.

“Sorry, I’m so sorry…” Xue Yan murmured as tears rolled down her cheeks. She roughly understood that she had already been used by that faceless person to ruin Chen Chen’s Dao Heart…

“Sigh… It’s not your fault. It’s my own fault…” Chen Chen said as he gazed at the sobbing woman with a warm and gentle expression. He shook his head and continued, “Perhaps I shouldn’t have taken this path of viewing the Heavenly Dao as dust, a path where I forego my emotions and lust…”

Even if he didn’t speak these words, they were the true thoughts in his mind. He could claim that no one had the right to determine whether he could become the Heavenly Dao or not, and he could also claim that it mattered not whether the Heavenly Dao possessed emotion or not. However, he had taken a path where he viewed the Heavenly Dao as dust, so were he to become the Heavenly Dao, he should have become the fairest and most just Heavenly Dao.

This was the safest and most reliable method to become the Heavenly Dao. However, if Chen Chen failed to become free of emotion and lust, then this method would definitely become filled with unimaginable dangers!

The faceless person had simply taken advantage of the situation to expose the true nature of his Dao Heart. This was a ticking time bomb. In fact, this would have been a ticking time bomb regardless of whether the faceless person had appeared or not.

“Heh, very well.”

A heavenly light radiated from the faceless person’s scale, and they said, “Next, let’s move onto our second multiple choice question.”

Chen Chen immediately swung his palm at the faceless person. “Piss off!”

Boom!

Like a vast and profound universe, a pure white Spotless Power erupted into the surroundings, transforming into a giant column of white light that soared into the air and annihilated everything in its path into dust!

Upon being struck by the column of pure white light, both the faceless person and their scale transformed into a cloud of dust.

Peace and calm returned to heaven and earth.

The person who had brought such immense and devastating pressure to the members of the Heaven Crushing Sect was directly obliterated by Chen Chen just like that…

“It… it’s over?”

“Holy sh*t! That was far too freakish! He directly slapped the tribulation of the Heavenly Dao into oblivion before the faceless person could even finish their sentence! Does the Heavenly Dao still have any face left?!”

“Has Heavenly Disciple Chen Chen won?”

“No, for Chen Chen, this can’t count as a victory…” the Ancient Dragon Empress replied with an anxious shake of her head.

Her heart ached as she turned around to gaze at the young man who was standing tall and proud as if nothing had happened to him.

This young man was shouldering far too many things…

Chen Chen had made a choice that everyone could accept.

In fact, he had perfectly dealt with the tribulation and even managed to save the mortal old woman. However, the Ancient Dragon Empress knew that Chen Chen hadn’t won. Rather, he had lost. He had lost because of his Dao Heart, and he had lost because of his Dao.

Chen Chen had already accepted Xue Yan as someone who was close and important to him. Even if the mortal old woman had been replaced with another important member of the Heaven Crushing Sect, Chen Chen would have still made the same choice.

The sixth tribulation, the Heavenly Scale Tribulation, came to a conclusion.

Cyril’s expression had already become extremely grim. He understood better than anyone else just how terrifying the previous tribulation had been. Moreover, only he knew what Chen Chen was currently facing.

Chen Chen used a teleportation technique to send the mortal old woman back to the Kingdom of the Nine States.

From the beginning until the end, the old woman still didn’t know what in the world was going on. She only knew that someone had wanted to kill her and that someone had saved her. In the blink of an eye, however, she was suddenly returned to the street that she had previously been on. She gazed at the bustling figures on the street, and it was as if she had experienced a horrible nightmare.

The aura of heaven and earth pulsated in Chen Chen’s palms, and it was as if his palms contained all matter of heaven and earth, including the sun, moon, and stars, and including the ability to create life. It was as if his palms contained the entire Dao of Heaven and Earth.

Heaven Crushing Technique—Palm Heaven!

Chen Chen swung his palm at the sky, unleashing an aura that was transcendent above heaven and earth and that peered down at the world. It was as if he wanted to grab the Heavenly Dao and then…

Crush it!

Chen Chen furiously clenched his hands, and a cracking sound suddenly traveled over from the formless Heavenly Dao!

It was as if an egg had been crushed.

Of course, this egg was symbolic of the core of the Heavenly Dao!

The sky started to crumble, with currents of chaos and destruction leaking from the giant fractures in the center. These currents then slowly suffused through the air before tearing apart the sky that was struggling to maintain its form. In the end, the sky was finally unable to withstand the assault of these currents, directly crumbling and plummeting to the ground like broken eggshells…

The sky… was starting to fall!

Chen Chen stood at the center of this destruction, and he slowly raised his hand at the falling sky. “Freeze!”

His words were like the decree of Heaven.

The falling sky shuddered violently before hovering to a stop in mid-air

Apart from the shattered sky, and apart from the fractured moon, all that could be seen was the boundless currents of darkness and chaos. Everything was being engulfed by destruction.

The members of the Heaven Crushing Sect who were closest to this aura of destruction couldn’t help but feel an unimaginable terror. It was as if they were about to be annihilated in the very next instant.

However, their determination to crush the heavens allowed them to overcome this terror, and they continued to funnel their power into the Heaven Crushing Spell Formation.

Right at this moment, however, countless eyes suddenly appeared amid the pitch-black currents of chaos, peering down at the beings beneath them…
