In the ancient ruins of the Heavenly Realm, a vast cetery that has lain silent for countless epochs, this place is also known as Xuandu Heaven!
Here, shattered Immortal Palaces float in the air, and on their broken white jade steps, the divine blood spilled during the godly battles of the last epoch has long since solidified into dark purple crystals.
Massive star bones float quietly in the void like the remnants of ancient beasts, their hollow eye sockets occasionally flickering with ghostly blue flas, remnants of unwilling fallen divinities.
At the core of this imposing yet dilapidated ruin, within a grand palace forged from the cores of countless shattered stars, three terrifying figures, whose auras are as deep as the ocean and seem to rge with the ruins, coldly gaze through a giant water mirror ford by distorted space-ti, towards the direction of the Pure Yang Heavenly Realm.
Sitting on the decayed imperial throne in the center is an old man clad in a tattered, mysterious black Emperor's Robe.
His expression is stern, and within the opening and closing of his eyes, countless Heavenly Laws seem to cycle, exuding an absolute majesty that maintains universal order. He is the current master of Xuandu Heaven, forrly a Daluo Golden Immortal under Yuxu Sect—Daoist Monarch Yuding, who once had a master-disciple relationship with True Monarch Xiansheng before severing ties with his past.
On his left, a throne ford by the wails of thousands of demon souls seats a giant man shrouded in towering Demon Flas. He is clad in a fierce Black Gold Battle Armor, each piece of which seems to bear the brand of a world destroyed. He is the current Epoch's Lord of All Demons, his origin shockingly the "Primordial Heavenly Demon," a na that strikes fear into the hearts of any strong figure in the Mysterious Sect.
On the right is a stunning woman enveloped in brilliant starlight. She is dressed in a radiant garnt woven from starlight, her gaze flowing as if the destinies of billions of stars rise and fall within it. She is the Star Jade Emperor, the source dao incarnation of the ancient mighty The Queen Mother of the West. The Queen Mother of the West is known for capturing "fate" and is one of the most unfathomable existences under the Taoist Ancestor.
The three giants never expected that the secret arrangents they had laid out would be so easily dissolved by Xu Qing, and in such a thorough manner.
In other words, the secret arrangents they ticulously planned beca resources for the opponent instead.
In layman's terms, it was a case of losing the rice while trying to steal the chicken.
Especially when this rice was contributed by the Lord of All Demons.
The Lord of All Demons was the first to speak:
"This map forms a universe of its own, integrating offense and defense, and can even devour all heavens to strengthen itself... given ti, I'm afraid..." The Lord of All Demons only spoke halfway.
But the others understood his implication.
Given ti, this Pure Yang Universe Map might truly devour the Heavenly Realm ruins they reside in, and even... evolve into the Origin Universe of the next epoch.
And its owner would beco that supre, all-controlling—New Heavenly Emperor they most didn't want to see!
The voice of the master of Xuandu Heaven sounded like clashing tal as he connected the Lord of All Demons' words, "He dreams of single-handedly reshaping the Heavenly Court? It's sheer delusion. The authority of the Heavenly Emperor cannot be tainted by such a new generation kid."
"Sheer delusion? I don't think so," Star Jade Emperor's voice was chillingly clear as her fingers lightly moved, causing the scene in the water mirror to change, revealing the Pure Yang Universe Map's terrifying Dao Rhy of self-creating a universe and life-death reincarnation, "He has already proven to be Immortal, and his Dao Fruit is an unprecedented Chaos Birth and Death Path. Now he's gained the foundation of the Supre Dao Sect and the origin of the Jiuli World, along with the allegiance of these Heavenly Realm fragnts... given ti, a new Heavenly Court rising isn't impossible. Otherwise, why would we rush to lay out our plans and plant dark seeds? Unfortunately, we didn't anticipate his response would be so swift and intense..."
"Then let us flatten it!" The Lord of All Demons slamd the throne fiercely as Demon Flas surged, "The authority of the Heavenly Court should be ours to wield! This Pure Yang Heavenly Realm is rely a just fattened lamb, its origin and Qi Fortune should be our stepping stone. Since the covert approach failed, I'll personally lead the Demon Army to crush it into powder!"
The master of Xuandu Heaven snorted coldly and said indifferently, "Although Xu Qing's true body lies in slumber, unable to move easily, the universe he newly created is now connected to his Dao Fruit. As an Immortal entity, even in slumber, his innate Dao-protecting power isn't sothing we can easily shake. Forceful attack isn't the best strategy. Moreover, the Qi Fortune of this realm is currently at its peak, like the sun in noonday sky, and any forcible attack would face backlash from Qi Fortune."
Star Jade Emperor nodded slightly, "The master of Xuandu Heaven is quite right. However, there is another way."
Her gaze pierced through the universe, landing on the Star Domain where the Supre Dao Sect resides.
The master of Xuandu Heaven instantly understood her aning, "The Supre Dao Sect indeed serves as the best bridgehead. Although its Sect Master is exiled, the foundation remains, and the disciples within the sect harbor deep hatred for Xu Qing. Supporting them slightly provides a sharp blade for us. We can use this blade to first eliminate Xu Qing's claws and fangs."
Star Jade Emperor gently tapped the water mirror, revealing a figure in a Tai Chi Daoist Robe with a blurred face, precisely the Unseen Daoist.
"Within the core land of the sect, this person left a wisp of True Spirit Seal. With the power of us three, we can awaken him from extinction and grant him the authority to wield so of our power. It's most appropriate to let him integrate the Supre Dao Sect."
The Lord of All Demons responded, "Good! Let them first tear at each other! Once they are both wounded, I'll take care of the aftermath, turning all their Divine Souls into fuel for my Demon Palace!"
The other two giants closed their eyes and nodded gently.
The appearance of the Lord of Ten Thousand Demons seed rely rugged, but in truth, he had a treacherous core. They attacked the Pure Yang Heavenly Realm individually, which actually increased their chances of victory; yet when the three collaborated, it was less effective than fighting solo.
Frankly, although the ruins of the Ancient Heavenly Realm were shared, who wouldn't want to have it all to themselves?
Therefore, without sufficient assurance, they would not easily confront Xu Qing directly.
Then, the three giants simultaneously extended their hands, and three terrifying primal forces representing "Order," "Destruction," and "Destiny" crossed the endless void and precisely blasted into the long-ruined and dormant core hall of the Supre Dao Sect!
Boom!
Deep within the ancestral hall, a secret chamber that housed the soul lamps of previous Sect Masters exploded. Among them, a soul lamp that had long been extinguished and covered in dust suddenly reignited under the frenetic infusion of these supre powers!
In the fla, an illusory Divine Soul emitted a painful and bewildered roar—it was Daoist Wu Xiang! His True Spirit Seal was forcibly activated and reshaped, with imnse power brutally infused into his Divine Soul, granting him terrifying cultivation far surpassing his lifeti. Yet, his eyes turned hollow and fervent, completely becoming an extension of the will of the three giants.
"Follow... the Emperor's decree!"
The reborn Daoist Wu Xiang prostrated on the ground, hoarsely swearing allegiance.
He looked around, feeling the vast power within him and the cold will belonging to the giants added to his Divine Soul.
Next, under his command, the remaining forces of the Supre Dao Sect swiftly integrated. The Divine Light bestowed by the three giants transford into a sky-covering Array, enveloping the entire sect. The desolate mountain gate was revitalized, and the dead spirit vein forcefully reactivated, making the entire sect's montum even stronger than in its heyday!
...
...
Heavenly River Dao Sect.
The Mountain Protection Array "Tianhe Inversion" was operating at unprecedented strength, with the vast Power of Star River hanging from the Nine Heavens, transforming into a radiant band across the sky, guarding the sect like an impregnable fortress. Yet, all disciples of Heavenly River, from the Five Elders and Sect Master to ordinary disciples, bore faces filled with seriousness and despair.
Outside the sect, black clouds pressed against the city.
Daoist Wu Xiang wore a brand-new Tai Chi Daoist Robe, standing with hands behind his back on the bow of a giant warship forged from thousands of Demon Soul Bones, coldly overlooking below. Behind him were nurous murderous cultivators of the Supre Dao Sect, their aura drastically different than before, carrying a hint of the ancient hegemonic pressure of the giants.
"Heavenly River Sect Master, considering we're both of the Taoist lineage, surrendered." The voice of Daoist Wu Xiang was not loud, yet it clearly reached each disciple's ear. "Our Emperor has ordered, those who obey thrive, those who resist perish. Xu Qing is strong but far in Taixu, unable to save you."
"Bah! Wu Xiang, you traitorous scoundrel of the Taoist, you dare to be a dog for the Outer Heaven Demon!" True Master Chong Shan stood at the core of the Array, shouting angrily, though his clenched fists trembled slightly.
Daoist Wu Xiang inwardly chuckled; compared to this universe's Taoists, the master behind him in Xuandu Heaven deserved to be called the orthodox Taoist lineage.
This person was a genuine Primordial True Inheritance.
"Stubborn fools." Then, Daoist Wu Xiang looked disdainful, waving his hand gently.
Boom!
The puppet-like "Elders" of the Supre Dao Sect behind him simultaneously acted, rays filled with the giants' power, the "Supre Cold God Light," gathered into a gray pillar piercing the heavens, fiercely striking the Tianhe Inversion Array.
Crack!
A crisp sound echoed, and the vast star river light band trembled violently; a clear crack appeared on its surface! True Master Chong Shan and other True Disciples of Heavenly River Dao Sect at the Array's core were struck hard, their spirits waned, and their mana could no longer gather...
A sense of despair spread through the Heavenly River Dao Sect.
