Chapter 207: Chapter 198: Then You Go Fight Donghuang Taiyi and the Chaos Demon God

The dilapidated Daluo Heaven.

A desolate ruin.

The world seems to have been torn apart by a great force, transforming into several massive islands, drifting alone in the void.

All around, menacing spatial rifts pervade, concealing destructive power; even an ordinary True Immortal attaining Dao will be instantly obliterated upon contact.

Amidst a swirl of purple clouds and beneath a gray wall, twelve majestic stone columns rise proudly, like pillars of heaven, steadfastly supporting the collapsing realm.

At the distant end, a great door stands silently, half entangled with withered wood, the other half in utter disrepair.

The purple clouds suddenly emit a thunderous sound, "How are you all faring?"

Beneath the columns, an elder, whose face is half normal and half withered wood, first breaks the silence, his voice tinged with weariness: "Cangtian, I suffer from Dao Injury, requiring perhaps a hundred thousand years to recover."

This time, Hao Tian and Ancestral Dragon have dealt quite a blow.

He feels that Ancestral Dragon is playing him; facing merely two Great Dao Divine beings, he couldn’t stall even for a little while... but now is not the time to tear apart the facade.

Currently, he is severely injured, Daoist Butian slightly wounded, yet his true form and Great Dao Spiritual Treasure staunchly guard the rift of Origin Realm, missing two Great Dao Spiritual Treasures, the Divine Land lineage’s combat power greatly reduced.

The Venerable of Dao and Virtue again glances at the side’s Profound Yellow Heaven, Blue Radiance Heaven, Ten Thousand Treasures Heaven, Xuanling Heaven, involuntarily sighing.

Only Taixuan alone presides over the situation, unable to suppress Ancestral Dragon.

"I’m fine."

With his Treasure Tower atop his head, Taixuan Daoist lightly scrutinizes the Venerable of Dao and Virtue’s wretched state; during the retreat from the Otherworld, among the three, only the Venerable suffered severe damage, facing full force assault from the opposing three Great Dao Divine beings, nearly unable to escape.

Of course, Taixuan Daoist’s intact state owes much to his Treasure Tower.

Buzz!

Ancestral Dragon slowly extends a gray claw, clutching a bead pulsing with blazing golden flames, its brilliance dazzling, like a small sun, instantly elevating the surrounding temperature.

"Unfortunately, that ’Donghuang Taiyi’ escaped with minor injuries."

Ying Long glanced sideways at his brother’s body; the scales were charred black, clearly showing that his brother was also injured quite a bit.

His heart was suddenly filled with shock.

The pitch-black Divine Bird emerging from the Great Sun... is this Donghuang Taiyi?

The golden flames in his brother’s hand, containing the supreme power of creation, destruction, and transformation in Trinity, Donghuang Taiyi is also an ultimate life form... his Great Dao holds much to learn from.

With a thought, Ying Long stretches his deep blue claw to directly retrieve the "small sun" from his brother’s grasp, then seamlessly incorporates it into his Spiritual Acupoint Heaven and Earth, as if it was the most natural sequence.

Ancestral Dragon’s gaze flickered briefly, casting a glance at Ying Long.

He acquiesced.

Cangtian’s gaze swept over Ancestral Dragon’s body, he paused briefly, then inquired of the Three Saints of Divine Land: "What is the current situation on the other side?"

"Xuan Miao Celestial Emperor isn’t well either, heavily injured by Hao Tian and our combined forces, likely unable to return for the time being. Presently, they have six Great Dao Divine beings stationed, namely Daoist Ancestor Li Er, Confucian Master Mr. Bing, Demon Saint, Buddha, as well as Bright Heaven and Wuyou Heaven..."

The Venerable of Dao and Virtue pondered deeply.

Then shared the details of those individuals’ methods and the circumstances in the Yellow Heaven Realm thoroughly with the present Divine Beings.

The black-robed lady, "Nether Heaven," carefully probed the Venerable’s thoughts, discerning the cause of their defeat, she opened softly:

"So, it requires four Great Dao Divine beings in concert to summon their region’s Xuan Miao Celestial Emperor... no wonder his single Great Dao power could withstand your four’s assault."

"We shouldn’t have lost!"

The Venerable of Dao and Virtue coldly cast a glance at Ancestral Dragon.

"Well, next time you’ll face Donghuang Taiyi and that Chaos Demon God alone." Ancestral Dragon snorted coldly, his speech full of disdain, as if letting Chaos Demon God smash Lingxiao Palace was merely a careless oversight, not worth further mention.

The Venerable of Dao and Virtue half-closed his eyes, lowering his head, ignoring Ancestral Dragon’s provocation.

Taixuan Daoist slowly spoke:

"Xuan Miao Celestial Emperor, he is not a native of that realm. He laid out plans for millennia, successfully attained Dao through combating the heavens; had it not been for Hao Tian’s intervention, he would have unified. He was supposed to battle Chaos Demon God·Yellow Heaven endlessly until one fell, yet they chose to unite, a move seemingly filled with peculiarity."

"Additionally, Donghuang Taiyi and Xuan Miao Celestial Emperor clearly aren’t from the same Origin Realm."

Upon hearing this, the present Divine Beings pondered deeply.

Cangtian’s convening of all Divine Beings.

Had a very important reason.

He expended "Nine-Point Three-Flower Dao Rhyme" yet failed to deduce the location of Donghuang Taiyi and Xuan Miao Celestial Emperor’s Origin Realm, concurrently unable to pinpoint the exact position of the world linked through South Celestial Gate.

They couldn’t achieve victory via unconventional means.

Hence, only through "South Celestial Gate" as a medium could they engage with Otherworldly Divine.

Furthermore, their true forms dared not personally descend. This is because within the "inner world," they left no trace; should their true forms step in, they would face significant suppression.

Only Hao Tian, capable of exercising power unimpeded by that realm’s constraints, can fully show prowess, though both Lingxiao Palace and River of Destiny shattered, proved unreliable for now.

Especially troublesome is that despite holding the advantage, Donghuang Taiyi’s Origin Realm likely harbors several extraordinary Great Dao Divine beings.

Consequently, the other side similarly possesses multiple Divine beings, holding geographical advantage, risking encirclement any slight mishap, potentially nullifying accumulated efforts.

The divine beings present did not dare to rashly enter that realm under such circumstances.

Taixuan Daoist pondered for a moment and reminded everyone:

"There is another puzzling matter. According to Hao Tian, the Chaos Demon God·Yellow Sky only destroyed the First Heaven of the Celestial Court. Logically speaking, in such a brief thirty thousand years, his power could not have progressed rapidly to reach the realm of Great Dao Divine."

He has a Great Dao Spiritual Treasure, yet one person cannot withstand it.

This is akin to a grown man being knocked down by a three-year-old child.

"Chaos Demon God·Yellow Sky has only been born for thirty thousand years?" The divine beings were all inwardly shaken.

Cangtian surveyed the surroundings with a heavy tone, warning the divine beings:

"Chaos Demon God·Yellow Sky cultivates a Great Dao known as the Martial Dao. It is the Path of Battle, with ’Yellow Sky’ blessing him. Once he surpasses you, you will find it difficult to recover."

"You must not engage him alone. If you encounter him solo and are outmatched, retreat quickly and do not suffer defeat again."

"We understand." The divine beings exchanged glances, their expressions full of gravity.

Cangtian continued, "Though the Chaos Demon God·Yellow Sky is exceptionally fierce, at this moment, under the joint efforts of me and Nether Heaven, he has been heavily injured, far worse than the Daoist Virtue. For now, he poses no significant threat."

His gaze turned towards the dilapidated South Celestial Gate.

Once a World Gate connects two worlds, it leaves an indelible existence mark. The opposing world can also use this World Gate to continuously attack Daluo Heaven, and conventional means cannot close it.

The divine beings on the other side know the exact location of Daluo Heaven, so they can both attack and defend. If they seize Daluo Heaven, they can establish a World Gate leading to their Origin Realm, making the situation complex and daunting. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

"Next, I will be stationed at Daluo Heaven with Ancestral Dragon, guarding against Donghuang Taiyi and Xuan Miao Celestial Emperor."

"You will send your people here to build the ’Void Great Wall.’ In these ten thousand years, someone in our Origin Realm must attain success to seal this gap, waiting for the right time to confront the other side and settle old scores completely."

The divine beings responded and each descended to the lower realm.

...

In the lower realm.

Ning Xunqiu saw the gap in the Great Chaotic Water firmly sealed, with the turbulent waters gradually calming down and dissipating, feeling slightly relieved.

He placed Linglong Fairy and Fairy Caiyun at Cyan Mountain Heaven and Earth, and alone delineated a Dao field in the starry sky.

Subsequently, Ning Xunqiu began to extract the achievement rewards from the Golden Life of "Great Sage Equal to Heaven."

[Extracting rewards...]

[Congratulations, you have received the Golden Life Achievement Reward - "Great Dao Divine Skill: River of Destiny"!]

"Unexpectedly, it is the Jade Emperor’s Great Dao Divine Skill."

Ning Xunqiu felt a slight disappointment in his eyes.

A Great Dao Divine Skill is a unique existence.

But the Great Dao Divine Skill he extracted, in the end, is difficult to reach the true Great Dao.

Unless one cultivates the Jade Emperor’s Dao, others simply cannot wield the vast power of the River of Destiny.

For Ning Xunqiu, this "River of Destiny" skill can only barely reach an entry-level akin to the "Jade Sky Streaming Light Galaxy."

This is undoubtedly somewhat of a chicken rib,

though it can serve as a foundation when refining a Magical Treasure.

Ning Xunqiu’s Primordial Spirit looked at the "River of Destiny" beside him.

It was a mysterious river shaped like a "Möbius Ring," intertwining and whirling, seemingly without beginning or end, merely circulating endlessly, infinitely.

This is the closed loop of destiny, but within this endless cycle, only a single "predestined destiny line" quietly flows.

In an instant, a torrent of information surged into his Primordial Spirit.

[Great Dao Divine Skill: River of Destiny]

All things in heaven and earth have unchangeable predestined numbers.

In the River of Destiny, one can alter the birth, aging, illness, and death of people, the elements of heavens and earth, the opportunities of all living things...

This is a section of the River of Destiny, transformed by the Jade Emperor’s Dao, but due to its incompleteness, it cannot converge all possibilities of beings.

You can only move the "predestined destiny line" belonging to yourself to acquire endless variables.

Note: The River of Destiny was shattered by Chaos Demon God·Yellow Sky’s "Infinite Heaven-Flipping Seal," scattered throughout the Ten Thousand Realms. At this moment, the River of Destiny cannot affect the fate of the "Great Dao Divine."

You gather all possibilities of the River of Destiny and can use it to attain success.

One, Celestial Soldiers and Generals.

Two, Four Great Celestial Kings.

Three, All Heavens Star Monarchs.

Four, Five Directions Emperors.

Five, Lord of the Celestial Court.
