Escape

Is it over yet?

Across the universe, countless gazes, some solemn, some calm, some angry, some compassionate, and some smiling, simultaneously peered out.

It landed on Zhou Yuan.

These gazes carried no imposing force; they were merely the ordinary gaze of Innate Dao Lord.

Perhaps they are witnessing the demise of a great Great Divine Ability User.

It manifested in the primordial era and once contended with the Ancestor Dragon for the Dao in the Ancient Era.

'In this era, he was also the ancestor of the Dao, the founder of the Acquired Merchant Dao, and the patriarch of the Xuanmen Earth Immortal Lineage.'

'He is clearly a rising Quasi-Saint Heavenly Venerate, and in the future, he may even have a glimpse into the Primordial Chaos Path.'

'Pity...'

Many Great Divine Ability User showed a hint of dismay in their eyes.

Time, like a knife, cuts down even the most arrogant; along the Great Dao, one can only sigh at the alluring beauty.

Even the ancient Taiyuan fell before the Quasi-Saint Heavenly Venerate.

Is it supernatural power? Or destiny?

But a group of powerful figures also had excitement and pleasure in their eyes.

'Good riddance!'

'The blood and bones of a single Earth Immortal Ancestor are enough to disrupt the plans of the Mystic Gate Immortal Path.'

'He died a worthy death.'

Zhou Yuan ignored these gazes.

At that moment, all his senses were dominated by the boundless expanse of black lotuses filling the sky.

There's no escaping it, no way to escape it.

The black lotus fell to the ground, giving rise to countless calamities, causing all worlds to fall into ruin and all realms to perish.

Its immense weight resembled a vast expanse of the heavens, making it impossible for Zhou Yuan's Dao body to move even slightly.

Even their mental and spiritual thoughts experienced a momentary pause.

A chill ran through my body; my primordial spirit was frantically issuing warnings.

You'll die!

But even now, Zhou Yuan showed no fear or even the slightest fluctuation on his face.

The Demonic Sect's plan was very well done.

He personally took action, carrying two Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures, despite being a quasi-saint.

They also orchestrated a plan to block the arrival of numerous Xuanmen Dao Lords and Heavenly Venerables who sought to come to their aid.

Under these circumstances...

Let alone a Great Divine Ability User, even an ordinary Quasi-Saint Heavenly Venerate would die on the spot.

But...

Under the astonished gaze of the Great Freedom Heavenly Son.

Zhou Yuan smiled slowly at him.

Then, a halo of light slowly rotated behind his head.

Instantly, strands of cause and effect appeared, from top to bottom, from inside to outside, from nothingness to reality, firmly connecting with this world.

[To Be a Monarch with the World]

Rumble!

In an instant, the Great Freedom Heavenly Son's expression changed drastically, only to see that his all-out attack had only caused the green-robed Daoist in front of him to stagger, and then completely teleport away.

And the object of the transfer...

"Taiyuanzi."

The roar of the Great Freedom Heavenly Son resounded throughout the universe.

His aura was changing rapidly.

All the merits and good fortune they had accumulated vanished without a trace.

Indeed, as the Heavenly Venerable of the Demonic Sect, the Great Freedom Heavenly Son naturally possesses the blessing of fortune and the presence of merit.

After all, under the law of Heavenly Dao, all beings are equal.

Even the most world-destroying demons are an indispensable part of the universe.

But now, under Zhou Yuan's Greater Divine Ability of "To Be a Monarch with the World".

He attacked heaven and earth directly.

It is said that Offended Heaven, and there is no way to pray for salvation.

Lightning flashed, the black Thunderclouds turned purple, and a vast will descended.

Divine punishment!

"No..."

The Great Freedom Heavenly Son's eyes instantly turned blood red; even with his cultivation, he could no longer hold back.

Because the Karmic Debt that was originally suppressed by merit and fortune within him could no longer hide.

The power of the lightning within the Grand Void was even greater.

Even though he is now Quasi-Saint Heavenly Venerate, he still felt a great crisis.

'What kind of supernatural power is this?'

'Just who is this Taiyuanzi?'

'How the hell am I supposed to fight this?'

The killing intent in the heart of the Great Freedom Heavenly Son had never been so intense.

At the same time.

The Dao Lords and Celestial Venerables who cast their gazes down from the Grand Void also revealed expressions of horror.

Then one by one they pondered the Heavenly Secrets and calculated cause and effect.

"This is actually a Greater Divine Ability that can transfer damage!"

"Transfer the damage received to heaven and earth?"

"In that case, Heaven and Earth will unleash divine punishment."

For a moment, many Great Divine Ability User fell silent. When they looked at Zhou Yuan again, an undeniable sense of apprehension rose in their eyes.

It truly lives up to its reputation as an ancient relic that has survived for millennia.

That's truly heartless.

But scheming against heaven and earth is not so easy.

What price will he have to pay himself?

In the Grand Void, Zhou Yuan stood beneath the thunder, facing the wind, his expression calm.

At that moment, his heart was bleeding.

The moment he used [To Be a Monarch with the World], he sensed the intense malice and hostility from heaven and earth.

This leads to a rapid loss of good fortune and merit.

The Merit Golden Wheel merit he had condensed was shrinking at a visible rate.

It was truly a case of killing a thousand enemies while losing eight hundred of your own.

'It doesn't matter.'

Good deeds and good fortune can be earned again, but you only have one life.

Now that things have come to this, Zhou Yuan could only console himself with this thought.

But the next moment, his expression suddenly turned ugly.

Because the merits he had accumulated were no longer enough to repay his debts to Heaven and Earth.

Rumble!

Amidst the strange gazes of many powerful beings.

A magnificent bolt of purple lightning struck him down.

The Great Freedom Heavenly Son, who had been shrouded in lightning punishment and struggling to resist the Purple Firmament Divine Thunder, seized this opportunity and made his move once again.

A dark light, shrouded in the crimson light of a divine blade, slashed fiercely towards Zhou Yuan.

Rumble.

Purple lightning and a blood-red divine blade struck Zhou Yuan simultaneously.

A pitch-black black hole appeared in the Grand Void.

The next second, spacetime warped and dimensions shifted.

Zhou Yuan, who was originally standing in the Grand Void, suddenly vanished.

"Ah..."

"Taiyuanzi!"

The Great Freedom Heavenly Son was bathed in lightning, his white robe already tattered and torn.

He stared in the direction Zhou Yuan had disappeared, a deep-seated hatred flashing in his eyes.

All our efforts were in vain!

All our efforts were in vain!

And on Kunlun Mountain.

The Three Pure Daoists exchanged a glance, their hearts filled with joy.

Taiyuanzi miraculously escaped death.

The Upper Pure Daoist Shangqing laughed heartily:

"Good!"

"Excellent!"

"I never expected Fellow Daoist Taiyuan to possess such abilities."

"Since that's the case, we can't afford to be inferior."

He gazed at the frozen figure within the demonic clouds, his voice cold and indifferent, utterly ruthless:

"Since you fellow Daoists have come here..."

"Let's settle this once and for all."

Before the words were even finished, the Four Swords of Zhu Xian appeared out of the sky, shaking the Myriad Heavens and Universes.

Another great battle has broken out.

But now the balance of power has shifted!

And as another great battle erupted in the Kunlun Mountains.

In a region where Blood Moon hangs high and only boundless darkness shrouds the land, a surging river flows ceaselessly.

The river was filled with filth and misfortune, churning with menacing ghosts and vengeful spirits.

A pitch-black wooden bridge spans the river, stretching Grand Void.

The old woman on the bridge, who hadn't moved for several centuries, suddenly raised her head.
