Follow the path of Dao from infancy Chapter 1904 Chapter 510: Ten Thousand Clans Await, Reverse-Order Challenge_4

Previously on Follow the path of Dao from infancy...
The Immortal Immortal Emperor reveals the grim reality of the calamity, where Ancient Demons have destroyed numerous clans across the regions, leaving many participants as the last survivors of their bloodlines, prompting shock and denial among the Immortal Kings. With the Ten Thousand Clans unable to delay, the Star Empress initiates the reverse challenge, and Shi Miao steps forward to challenge those ranked ahead of her. Luo Ningshuang accepts the duel, both combatants preparing intensely as the observing clans watch with disappointment over their own champions' failures to qualify, highlighting the vast disparities in foundations among the great families. Luo Ningshuang unleashes her Ancestor Emperor Power, manifesting a majestic emperor silhouette that silences the onlookers in awe and terror.

Glancing at the nearby ranking list, Luo Ningshuang holds just the nineteenth spot!

Nearly at the very end!

How can someone at only nineteenth place unleash such incredible power? Could this truly be an Immortal King?!

'This presence rivals that of a Quasi-Emperor almost perfectly—is that a spectral Emperor figure? What sort of freakish entity is she!'

Immortal Kings from various races stared with bulging eyes, utterly dumbfounded and at a loss for words.

This defied everything they knew about the Immortal King Realm!

Even if certain races hadn't reached Immortal King Realm Perfection themselves, they'd at least witnessed the spectacle if not savored the feast. How was it possible for an Immortal King at Perfection to wield such overwhelming force?

'Excellent work, Luo Ningshuang—you truly honor our clan as its shining star and the revered pupil of the Chaos Emperor Venerate!'

Within the Ten Thousand Clans, the Luo Clan's members watched the display with fervent gazes, tears welling up in many eyes. Here was their clan's peerless talent, a once-in-ten-thousand-years prodigy mentored by the Chaos Emperor Venerate, now dazzling everyone in the Ten Thousand Clans!

'Ancestor Emperor Power—the Ancestor picked wisely; this embodies the brilliance of a Luo Clan genius!'

Numerous Luo Clan individuals bellowed with fervor, their faces alight with thrill and joy.

Right then, with the Ancestor Emperor Power activated, Luo Ningshuang wasted no time, immediately channeling forces from various Extreme Realms and Final Realms, boosting her might to its utmost in scarcely a single breath.

Though aware defeat loomed, she yearned to gauge the vast chasm between them!

Yet prior to her launching any attack, the impassive Shi Miao facing her spoke a lone, flat syllable.

'Reverse!'

Suddenly, vibrant strands of Time Law twisted into a vortex, and inside the enclosure, a bizarre breeze seemed to stir.

This breeze swept all things backward, pulling toward bygone eras, even the flow of time itself appearing to turn around right then.

Luo Ningshuang's booming energy swelled to its zenith yet swiftly shrank back, her presence dimming and fading as if all was reverting!

The Emperor's illusory form trailing her gradually dissolved, though moments before fading completely, a subtle spark lit its gaze, darting toward the platform's woman, only to halt there and quietly fade into nothingness.

'How is this possible?'

Luo Ningshuang sensed her Immortal Vein turning backward, her strength waning, and terror gripped her instantly. Such dread force could invade and alter her from the core!

Even the Ancestor Emperor Power pulsing in her lineage began to withdraw, like it had brushed against a forbidden boundary.

In mere moments, her vigor shifted from peak robustness to utter weakness, her Immortal King Great Perfection realm wobbling, before her aura crashed down abruptly to the Ninth Level of Immortal King Realm!

Luo Ningshuang stood frozen, thoughts erased. What force was this? Time Law?

She too had delved into Time Dao, mastering its essence up to the Eighth Layer, with the Tenth Layer still distant, yet... could the Tenth Layer of Time Dao hold such horrifying potency?

Remember, she had attained the Tenth Layer of the Dao—one of the Nine Orders, Wood Dao, brimming with boundless vital force—yet even that faced suppression now!

Sss!

A frosty flash darted close, and as Luo Ningshuang snapped back to awareness, a compact, pristine white dagger hovered precisely at her forehead's center.

'You lost.'

Shi Miao's toneless words echoed forth.

Luo Ningshuang remained dazed.

The whole arena fell into hush, encompassing the distant airborne Luo Clan, plunging from wild uproar to profound stillness in a flash.

It resembled a silent gale slicing across, muting the voices of the entire lineage into a tomb-like hush.

Their clan's wunderkind, the brilliant Luo Ningshuang, had fallen in an instant.

She hadn't gotten even a single shot to fight back!

What sort of ability was this? Could an Immortal King Realm truly command such might?!

'What's happening? Her cultivation dropped?'

'Time reversal? The Emperor bloodline got held down too?!'

Beyond just the Luo Clan, everyone else gaped in disbelief, eyes stretched wide.

The grieving factions were left slack-jawed, finally grasping why their own geniuses had crumbled, failing to secure even entry to the ultimate contest.

Those scraping the bottom ranks were already monstrous beings.
