The Heavenly Dao's Will

Facing their congratulations, Li Er simply smiled faintly. He had returned before All Saints and calmly said, "Thank you for yielding."

Every word and action he took proclaimed him the victor of this competition, and his strength and wisdom had earned the acknowledgment and respect of all the Saints.

Venerable Yuanshi and Sect Master Tongtian looked at Li Er, their gazes filled with admiration but no sense of loss.

They knew their relationship with Li Er transcended simple competition; it was built more on mutual respect and recognition.

If the two of them had obtained this Calamity Fortune and Dao Fruit, there would likely have been many complex emotions and a competitive spirit.

However, Li Er was different. Although he had competed and seized it, they were genuinely convinced by him.

Li Er did not involve himself in the sect disputes, meaning he posed no direct competitive pressure on the Heavenly Origin Sect or the Intercepting Sect.

Therefore, even if Li Er obtained the Dao Fruit, it would not trigger a direct conflict between the two.

However, Daoist Zhunti harbored resentment. His various schemes had not yielded the expected results, leaving him quite disappointed.

Daoist Jieyin faced the situation with relative calm.

Only Nuwa felt complex emotions. Li Er's increased strength and profound fortune put her under immense pressure, as it signaled that the karma she would have to repay in the future would be even more complicated and difficult.

Venerable Yuanshi and the others had little interest in probing Li Er's actions or inner state.

Li Er had obtained the sole Dao Fruit of this Great Tribulation. Enjoying its fortune alone, he directly consumed the fruit in front of everyone.

The consumption process did not involve complex techniques, as he knew it was a matter of accumulated quantity rather than altering his existing foundation.

The fruit's power flowed into his body, as comfortable as a spring breeze, making Li Er's spirit shine with renewed brilliance.

Simultaneously, his cultivation surged during this process. Having reached the peak of mid-stage Saint, he was now advancing towards even higher realms.

This scene left all the Saints, including Venerable Yuanshi, feeling helpless yet unable to intervene.

Li Er's breakthrough would elevate his power level once more, widening the gap between them even further.

"Is he going to break through again?"

While they remained where they were, Li Er was already pursuing a higher realm.

This stark contrast made them realize that the position of the strong was unshakeable.

This was supposed to be merely the lament of the fated Saints for the Quasi-Saints.

Yet, unexpectedly, it was Li Er's turn today.

Amidst their sighs and exclamations, there was a hint of irony.

Instantly, a powerful aura surged from Li Er's body, shaking the void.

Li Er's eyes snapped open, radiating divine light. Even without deliberately revealing his aura, one could feel his formidable pressure had increased significantly compared to before.

Li Er had now broken through the peak of mid-stage Saint, his strength astonishing.

Having attained the Dao by severing the Three Corpses, his comprehension was immensely profound.

Today, he alone possessed the fortune of the Witch-Demon Calamity, refining the sole Dao Fruit, making him invincible.

His Dao Foundation was so solid that during his breakthrough, he ascended two stages consecutively, directly reaching the peak of Saint.

In the past, Dao Ancestor Hongjun alone possessed the Calamity Fortune, breaking through realms upon attaining the Dao, and later reached the peak of Saint by ascending the Purple Heaven Palace thrice.

Li Er's actions today were no less than those of Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

At this moment, he finally understood why Dao Ancestor Hongjun had schemed against both the Demonic Dao factions, seeking to monopolize the Calamity Fortune.

This feeling of consecutive breakthroughs was incredibly exhilarating!

After all, cultivating to the peak of Saint through one's own accumulation requires countless eons, and one might not even reach this realm after several Great Tribulations.

For example, although Nuwa was the first among the Saints to attain the Dao, possessing the most Merit and Fortune, she remained in the early stage of Saint.

And those like Jieyin and Zhunti, who had attained the Dao through pre-emptive Merit, were even less worth mentioning.

As for Li Er, although he had attained the Dao by severing the Three Corpses, his own strength had only brought him to mid-stage Saint.

Without the sole Dao Fruit of this Great Tribulation, it would likely take him another two Great Tribulations to reach the late stage of Saint.

His previous life, Laozi, was the best proof.

But now? Li Er, relying on the sole Dao Fruit, had directly ascended to the peak of Saint, nearing Dao Ancestor Hongjun before his fusion with the Dao.

Li Er had saved him countless efforts, but the Calamity competition behind it was a brutal struggle among Saints.

One step behind meant being perpetually behind, potentially falling into eternal damnation.

Correspondingly, Li Er, having attained the Dao by severing the Three Corpses, was winning every step of the way.

At this moment, Li Er whispered in his heart, a peerless belief rising within him: "Within the Saint realm, I should be considered invincible."

He certainly had the confidence to dare to fight Hongjun.

Although Hongjun had surpassed the peak of Saint, ever since his fusion with the Dao, the Heavenly Dao had become Hongjun, and Hongjun was not the complete Heavenly Dao.

Therefore, Li Er had the confidence to contend with Hongjun.

He possessed the Pangu Imprint, the ultimate Spiritual Power. Even if he lacked the Pangu Will when he wielded it again, its immense power was enough to contend with Hongjun after his fusion with the Dao.

This was Li Er's confidence, not blind arrogance.

In the void, Hongjun sensed Li Er's confidence, and an inexplicable emotion flickered through his heart.

As the Dao Ancestor, his mind and schemes were unfathomably deep, and his expression remained as calm as ever.

He announced, "Laozi has refined the only Dao fruit. The Witch-Demon Calamity ends today."

Yuanshi, Tongtian, Nuwa, Jieyin, Zhunti, and the other five Saints of the Heavenly Dao exchanged glances before responding, "We dare not."

At the end of this grand narrative, Little Demon brings a brand new interpretation! Dear readers, this is a small opinion from Little Demon. I look forward to your comments.

At the same time, please subscribe to support!

The five Saints of the Heavenly Dao and Li Er, the biggest winner of the entire Witch-Demon Calamity, raised no objections.

Hongjun's voice echoed through heaven and earth, like the voice of the Heavenly Dao, solemn and powerful.

He declared, "From this day forward, the Calamity ends."

At this moment, in the Demon Master's Palace in the Northern Darkness, Demon Master Kunpeng breathed a sigh of relief.

He had finally escaped a disaster.

However, he noticed that the Merit Qi on his body had dissipated by more than half.

His survival depended on it.

Otherwise, as the Demon Master, Kunpeng would have found it difficult to escape the destructive power of this Calamity.

The world believed he had fled the battlefield, but in reality, he was protecting the last sanctuary for the Demon Race.

Even if he faced countless criticisms and misunderstandings after his death, he had no regrets about his choice.

Yet, he knew deeply that this defeat symbolized the end of the Demon Race's luck.

He stood before the Demon Master's Palace and sighed, "The Primordial World is no longer the realm of our Demon Race."

As the Ten Great Demon Marshals faced this reality with despair, a calm light flickered in Kunpeng's eyes. "Do you have any other options?"

They remained silent.

In the Sea of Blood, within the silence of the Six Paths Reincarnation.

Empress Pingxin breathed a sigh of relief and turned to Gonggong, saying, "Do you know you almost caused a great disaster? If someone hadn't intervened, Buzhou Mountain might have collapsed. How would you face Pangu the Father God?"

Compared to Nuwa, Empress Pingxin possessed a gentler beauty, but she presided over the Six Paths Reincarnation and held a noble position. No one dared to disregard her authority.

Gonggong's face flushed red upon hearing this, and he shamefully admitted he didn't know why he had such thoughts, only wishing to bury heaven and earth together.

Empress Pingxin instructed Gonggong to bring the remaining Great Witches of the Witch Clan to the Six Paths Reincarnation, while the tribes of Lesser Witches would reside adjacent to the Human Race.

Although Gonggong did not understand the deeper meaning of this arrangement, he could only comply for now.

After Gonggong left, only Empress Pingxin remained in the grand hall.

She gazed at the Primordial World, a hint of longing in her eyes, and sighed, "From this day forward, the Witch Clan will gradually withdraw from the stage of the Primordial World, and the eleven Ancestor Witches will never be able to return."

Within the Netherworld Blood Sea, Ancestor Minghe stood quietly, clad in a blood-colored robe, with the Four Great Asura Kings surrounding him.

A terrifying aura of ferocity and majesty emanated from the Ancestor's brow, signifying the end of the Witch-Demon Calamity.

In the Wuzhuang Temple on Longevity Mountain, Zhen Yuanzi, known as the Ancestor of Earth Immortals, emerged from his temple with a look of emotion. "The Calamity has ended. It's a pity my brother Hongyun can no longer witness this day."

Similar scenes unfolded throughout the Primordial World. Many powerful beings and Quasi-Saint giants who had been in long-term seclusion emerged from their retreats.

They felt that the heavens of the Primordial World were about to change with the end of the Calamity.

They looked up at the sky and murmured, "The Witch-Demon Calamity has concluded, and all living beings are moving in its wake."

Clearly, this Witch-Demon Calamity had profound and far-reaching effects.

From the great battle between the Witches and Demons to the battle of Saints involving Li Er, and then the descent of the Heavenly Dao and its fierce confrontation with Li Er's Pangu Imprint, each battle became more intense.

Therefore, they all hoped to end this conflict as soon as possible to avoid further unknown entanglements.

In the void above Buzhou Mountain, after announcing the end of the Calamity, Hongjun turned his gaze to Li Er.

He elaborated on Li Er's contributions during this Calamity, especially his powerful display in the battle against the Heavenly Dao Will.

Then, he posed a task: "After this battle, many holes have appeared in the sky. You need to fill them. What are your thoughts?"

Li Er looked at the holes in the sky, feeling speechless.

He had done his best to prevent Buzhou Mountain from collapsing, but he hadn't expected the aftermath of his battle with the Heavenly Dao Will to tear open the sky.

Both Li Er and the Heavenly Dao Will were top-tier existences capable of destroying the world.

Their battles were bound to cause destruction to heaven and earth.

Nuwa seemed to understand something and proactively offered the Five-Colored Stone to Li Er to help mend the sky.

Nuwa took out those extremely precious Houtian Spiritual Stones, demonstrating a cooperative attitude.

Although Nuwa and Li Er had been at odds before due to the Heavenly Dao's orders, after the Heavenly Dao Will retreated, they quickly shifted to cooperation.

In the eyes of the Saints, such a change was perfectly normal.

In the Primordial World, everything was driven by self-interest, and alliances could change at any moment depending on the circumstances.

At this very moment, Li Er faced not only the crucial task of mending the sky but also the appearance of the Qiankun Cauldron.

The appearance of the Qiankun Cauldron symbolized the ultimate stability of heaven and earth.

The prior cooperation between Nuwa and Li Er, along with the current manifestation of the Qiankun Cauldron, were all aimed at restoring order and stability to the world.

Although they had conflicts before due to the Heavenly Dao's commands, under the laws of the Primordial World, everything was prioritized by benefit, and their cooperation was also for the better maintenance of the order of heaven and earth.

Under fortuitous circumstances, guided by the Heavenly Dao, the time for the decisive battle had arrived.

The many disputes had already become clear, with no conflicts of interest among them, thus everything returned to harmony.

However, at this moment, Li Er made his move, displaying the might of the Qiankun Cauldron.

This cauldron had never appeared before, yet it caused all Saints to tremble.

Zhunti and the other Saints revealed expressions of disbelief, fully aware of the Qiankun Cauldron's power.

This cauldron could transform all Houtian Spiritual Treasures into Innate Supreme Treasures, its might comparable to a moving treasure vault.

Seeing this, Zhunti felt jealousy, his envy evident.

Yet, the might of the Qiankun Cauldron erupted, instantly drawing all eyes.

Li Er controlled the cauldron as if wielding the power of a celestial god.

The cauldron instantly grew with the wind, swept over Zhunti's head, and landed upon the Primordial land.

At this moment, all the waters of the nine heavens were drawn into the cauldron, while Li Er stood still, displaying his powerful control.

As the Qiankun Cauldron's might was pushed to its limit, the crisis of the Primordial land was instantly resolved.

Facing the countless breaches in the Sky Splitting, Li Er waved the Qiankun Cauldron in his hand and sent it to Nuwa's side.

Nuwa understood his intention and used the Qiankun Cauldron to refine the Five-Colored Stone.

As the Five-Colored Stone entered the cauldron, it was immediately engulfed in blazing Dao fire, rapidly forging it.

This scene also stirred envy in Nuwa, who marveled at the power of the supreme treasure.

Nuwa quickly refined the Five-Colored Stone; it was completed in the Qiankun Cauldron in moments, demonstrating its profound creation abilities.

Li Er took over the refined liquid Five-Colored Stone and began the work of mending the heavens.

After discarding the last unrefined piece of the Five-Colored Stone onto the Primordial land, Nuwa handed the liquid to Li Er.
