Chapter 2948: The New Year’s Event Hosted by Heaven and the Cultivation Chat System!
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
As the scene of Daozi launching his attack played out, it was broadcasted across all realms, causing a massive stir among cultivators everywhere.
In the void, the image of Daozi striking at a certain point made the cultivators feel as if the attack was coming directly at them. The massive “Confucian Classic” he wielded seemed like the iron fist of knowledge, ready to smash into their faces.
Weaker cultivators, faced with this terrifying sight, collapsed to the ground. Thankfully, it was just a broadcast—had it been real, mere collapse would have been the least of their worries.
However, the stronger cultivators with steadfast wills managed to withstand the pressure, keeping their gaze fixed on the broadcast. For them, enduring this challenge was a great trial, one that could significantly strengthen their Dao Heart.
At the same time, countless questions arose in their minds:
“What did Senior Ba Song whisper to Daozi that made him so suddenly enraged?”
“Who is Daozi attacking? Is there really someone foolish enough to challenge him at this time?”
—
Boom!
Daozi’s attack obliterated a portion of the void.
To the viewers, it seemed impossible that anything could survive such a devastating strike—it was simply too overwhelming. Not even the formidable strength displayed by Senior Ba Song earlier could compare to Daozi’s current might.
Yet, just as the void began to crumble, two figures emerged from the chaos.
Below, Song Shuhang’s eyes narrowed.
His gaze, as sharp as a polished blade, locked onto the two figures. He knew their “names” well.
The Void Sun Guardian and the Stellar Doomsayer.
Among these, the Stellar Doomsayer was composed of many individual entities, while the Void Sun Guardian appeared to be a powerful eternal being, fragmented into countless “Void Suns.” However, these fragments seemed to operate independently; even if one were destroyed, it wouldn’t affect the original body—a truly unique condition.
In the void, both the Stellar Doomsayer and Void Sun Guardian were in a pitiful state. They each had been holding what seemed to be a scroll or book, but Daozi’s sudden strike had reduced them to mere fragments.
The Void Sun Guardian’s book had been reduced to just a binding strip, while the Stellar Doomsayer only had a tattered page left. The cloaks they wore were also incinerated by Daozi’s attack—these cloaks and books had shielded them from complete annihilation.
But now, without those two books, surviving Daozi’s next move seemed futile. Those books were crucial tools for them to interfere with Daozi’s ascension. Without them, how could they possibly stop him?
They had considered fleeing, but before they could even act on the thought, Daozi had already made his move.
With a casual flick of his wrist, Daozi summoned a scroll-like artifact covered in complex test questions. The scroll materialized an endless sea of questions, deep and profound—an ocean of knowledge.
The vast question sea engulfed the Void Sun Guardian and the Stellar Doomsayer, sealing their movements and confining their souls within the unending questions. There was no escape unless they could answer every question in the sea within a short span of time.
This was the nightmare of all scholars! If you didn’t study hard enough, if you didn’t acquire sufficient knowledge, how could you even think of fighting?
The Void Sun Guardian was an extremely powerful eternal being—if it tried, it might actually solve all the questions in the sea given enough time.
But Daozi had no intention of giving them that time.
As the question sea sealed off their retreat, Daozi clenched his fist. Empowered by Heaven’s Will, his fist broke through the limitations of space and relentlessly pummeled the Void Sun Guardian and the Stellar Doomsayer!
Daozi’s fists struck at a speed of millions of punches per second, an onslaught so overwhelming that the exact number of blows landed was impossible to count.
Yet, despite the rapidity of his strikes, Daozi controlled his strength with precision. This wasn’t just an attack—it was a venting of his fury, expressed through countless blows.
Among the top-tier eternal beings witnessing this scene, some found old wounds—long healed—suddenly aching again. They had once been crushed like this by the Confucian Sage, but Daozi, with Heaven’s Will as his aid, was even more ruthless.
At least when the Confucian Sage threw a punch, he had to open a “space gate,” and his fist would come through from the other side.
But Daozi’s fists ignored the boundaries of space entirely. His fists could simultaneously appear anywhere across the realms, even manifesting in multiple places at once.
Each punch he threw carried the full weight of his rage.
If only he weren’t punching so fast, Daozi would have loved to add a verbal taunt with each punch for maximum effect—but even he couldn’t imagine shouting out millions of insults per second.
After a few seconds, Daozi withdrew his fists.
During that short span, he had delivered billions of punches!
With Heaven’s Will empowering him, his strength was perfectly controlled, ensuring every blow landed solely on his targets. Otherwise, the force of those billions of punches would have reduced an entire world to ashes.
The Void Sun Guardian and the Stellar Doomsayer, who had given Song Shuhang so much trouble earlier—causing him to explode once—were now nothing but ash, obliterated by Daozi’s relentless fists.
This end was far more agonizing than a swift death by a single punch.
“Pity… but no matter,” Daozi murmured as he lowered his fists.
The ghostly figure of Song Shuhang leaned in to whisper something in Daozi’s ear, causing his anger to subside slightly. He nodded faintly.
Together with the ghostly Song, Daozi ascended to a certain height before disappearing.
Immediately afterward, a notification rang out in the minds of cultivators across all realms, via their Cultivation Chat System:
[System Alert: As the new year begins, we wish all fellow cultivators across the realms a Happy New Year and good fortune.]
[To celebrate the new year, the Cultivation Chat System, in collaboration with Heaven, will host a ‘New Year’s Event’ across the realms.]
[During the event, any cultivator who can collect the heads of two Void Sun Guardians or Stellar Doomsayers will be eligible to exchange them for a super reward through the Cultivation Chat System.]
[Additionally, anyone who can provide information on the whereabouts of the Void Sun Guardian or Stellar Doomsayer can also exchange their findings for rewards, with the level of rewards varying based on the quantity and quality of the information.]
With Heaven joining forces with the Cultivation Chat System for the New Year’s event, the prestige of the occasion skyrocketed!
