The top of the golden staircase was not the end, but a Void Rift spanning heaven and earth. A Primordial Chaos halo flowed along the Rift's edge, within which countless tiny Space Fragments floated and swayed. Touching them revealed the weight and resilience of the Space Barrier, seemingly fragile yet indestructible. Ren Xiaoyao stepped on Tricolor Streamer black, white, and gold light. Within this light, the vastness of primordial chaos, the sharpness of the Supreme Dao Primordial Chaos, and the vitality of creation intertwined. The moment his figure pierced through the Rift like an arrow, the surrounding Daoist aura suddenly shifted dramatically—the ancient, boundless Heaven-Ascending Path... The auspicious glow of the sunset vanished instantly, replaced by an endless expanse of deep blue sea. This seawater was not an ordinary blue, but rather shimmered with a luminous, Glazed Ice light, as if cast from millions of sapphires. It was so clear that it reflected the Dao Marks deep within one's soul. With each crashing wave, it carried wisps of pure, exquisite immortal energy. Inhaling it brought clarity to one's Dao Heart, dispelling all the stagnant energy in one's meridians. Even the Creative Core trembled gently, emitting a joyful hum. This was the Endless Vast Sea, where the origin of immortality was said to be hidden.

Above the sea, mist rises like a light veil, transforming under the nourishment of celestial energy into countless illusory images of mythical birds and Strange Beasts: When the Qingluan flaps its wings, it scatters golden feathers across the sky, each feather tip adorned with a rounded dewdrop of celestial essence. These dewdrops fall onto the sea, stirring ripples of Daoist energy. Wherever these ripples pass, fragments of celestial essence in the seawater condense, transforming into shimmering points of light; When the Bai Ze raises its head, Inhale and Exhale primordial Primordial Chaos Pure Qi, its body swirling with runes, displaying the majesty of Ancient Divine Beast. Its cry causes the seawater to resonate, the sound transforming into a profound Daoist chant, echoing throughout the entire sea, cleansing the Dao Heart of any intruder; The Qilin treads the waves, Golden Lotus blooming beneath its hooves. When the lotuses bloom, their radiant light dispels all evil spirits, and where the petals fall, fragments of celestial essence in the seawater automatically condense into clusters, transforming into shimmering stars suspended above the sea. These illusory images are not illusions, but pure condensation of celestial power. The Spiritual Charm form, swirling and coiling, exudes an ancient and primordial aura, as if recounting the timeless history of the Endless Vast Sea. Deep within the waters, the outlines of floating immortal mountains are faintly visible, their bodies enveloped in pale golden light, like unpolished jade nurtured by the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi. Atop these mountains, Rare Flowers and Exotic Herbs sway in the wind—the "Forget-Sorrow Immortal Grass," capable of calming the mind and spirit, gleams with a soft light; the patterns on its leaves are natural Daoist runes, capable of autonomously absorbing the power of immortal energy. The "Heaven-Reaching Immortal Ganoderma," capable of amplifying Daoist energy, is topped with a seven-colored cap, upon which shimmering light flows, each ray containing a different Daoist energy. And then there is the "Nirvana Flower," its petals as red as blood, blooming only once every three thousand years. The dewdrops falling from its petals transform into strings of crystalline immortal marrow beads, which, even after sinking to the seabed, continue to emanate a warm Daoist energy, nourishing the fragments of immortal energy below.

Ren Xiaoyao's Creative Core trembled slightly, and the black, white, and gold divine light, like a flowing Star River, instantly pierced through the mysteries of this sea: every drop of water in the Endless Vast Sea contained fragmented immortal source power. These fragments, like stars scattered between heaven and earth, were weak yet pure, having undergone countless ages of sedimentation and long since merged with the seawater; while the true origin of immortality was hidden in the "Immortal Source Secret Realm" at the deepest part of the sea. That Secret Realm was enveloped by a layer of pale gold barrier, upon which flowed the symbols of "Heaven," "Earth," and "..." The three ancient seal characters, each condensed from pure Heavenly Dao Power, contain the Principle governing the operation of heaven and earth, radiating an inviolable majesty. Below the barrier, two incomparably powerful divine thoughts are like ancient mountains. One is domineering and flamboyant, like a sharp blade unsheathed, its edge fully revealed; the other is majestic and murderous, like a celestial sword hanging overhead, its cold light chilling. The two Dao God thoughts intertwine to form an invisible barrier, firmly guarding the Secret Realm Entrance. Any living being that approaches will be instantly locked on, and its soul will tremble.

He transformed into a streak of Tricolor Streamer, treading the waves. Divine light spread out in a three-foot Fang Yuan beneath his feet, like a stable jade plate. Three-colored runes flowed across this plate, isolating the seawater. Wherever he passed, the raging waves seemed to have met their nemesis, instantly calming down into gentle streams flowing along the edges of the divine light. Even the most turbulent undercurrents became docile. Fragments of immortal essence in the seawater, as if drawn by an invisible force, surged from all directions, like bees returning to their hive, rushing into his body and converging into the Creative Core through his limbs and bones. Within the core, the six Law Chains, like hungry dragons, frantically devoured these fragments of immortal essence—the dark golden divine light of the Ancestor Dragon Laws grew ever more powerful, its Dragon Might... The vast expanse of energy even drew echoes of dragon roars from the depths of the sea, as if an ancient Ancestor Dragon were awakening from its slumber, responding to this shared power. The silvery-white sharpness of the Suppressing Evil Laws grew even sharper, as if it could pierce through all illusions in the world. Faintly, there was a humming sound that seemed to Sky-Rending Strike apart. With a slight tremor of the law Law Chains, tiny Space Cracks appeared. The fusion of the power of the Supreme Dao Primordial Chaos Power and the power of Primordial Chaos became increasingly harmonious. The originally distinct three-colored divine light had now intertwined into a unified radiance. As it flowed through his meridians, it could automatically repair the minor Dao Wound left by his past cultivation, allowing his aura to improve imperceptibly. The Dao charm around him became increasingly refined, as clear as Glazed Ice.

At that moment, the sea suddenly boiled! It wasn't just ordinary churning waves, but countless streams of golden immortal energy erupting from the seabed. Within this energy lay an incomparably domineering Daoist aura, shooting straight into the sky like a volcanic eruption, converging into a gigantic golden wave ten thousand feet high. At the summit of this giant wave, amidst the rising steam, a figure stood atop the waves, like a god-king ruling the seas, radiating an aura of supreme majesty. This person wore crimson-gold armor, forged from ten-thousand-year-old Mysterious Iron mixed with immortal essence gold. Amidst its shimmering light, countless ancient seal characters bearing the inscription "Peerless" were engraved. Each character shimmered with an incomparably domineering divine light, the light seeming to break free from the armor's constraints, displaying an unparalleled Daoist aura. As the seal characters swirled, they even triggered a resonance of the surrounding immortal energy, forming a layer of... A golden force field distorted space within it, forcibly pushing back the seawater, making it impossible to advance an inch. Three thousand golden spears surrounded him, each about ten feet long, their tips gleaming with a chilling light, flashing with a sharpness capable of piercing the heavens. Runes flowed across the spear shafts, containing a trace of Law of Space; a slight tremor would leave faint ripples in space. His face was as cold and stern as ten thousand years of ice, his eyes as deep as cold stars, the reflections of the golden spears in his pupils. The divine might emanating from him caused the entire sea to tremble violently. Fragments of immortal essence in the seawater were shaken to a standstill, and even the phantoms of celestial birds and Strange Beasts showed fear, cowering and trembling. This was the Peerless God Venerable being guarding the outermost layer of the Endless Vast Sea.

"This is Forbidden Land the Immortal Origin, not to be entered by anyone but a Supreme Being!" The voice of the Peerless God Venerable boomed like thunder from the heavens, causing the sea to ripple with countless waves. Each ripple contained domineering divine energy, striking the void with a muffled "hum," as if it would shatter space itself. As his words fell, three thousand golden spears simultaneously hummed, their tips all aimed at Ren Xiaoyao, radiating a killing intent that locked onto his soul—this killing intent was not ordinary hostility, but rather a "sole supremacy" originating from the depths of his Dao Heart, like an invisible blade piercing his sea of consciousness, as if declaring: anyone who dares to obstruct him will be reduced to ashes. "Retreat immediately, or I will surely Soul Annihilation, condemning you to eternal damnation!"

Ren Xiaoyao stopped, his body enveloped in a slow, three-colored divine light, forming an invisible barrier that kept out the domineering killing intent, without even a strand of his hair fluttering. He spoke calmly, his voice not loud, yet containing an undeniable majesty, like the voice of the Great Dao, resounding throughout the four directions. "I have come to seek the origin of immortality, not to offend you. If the Divine Lord is willing to make way, Xiaoyao will surely reward you handsomely; if you insist on obstructing me, then don't blame me for being disrespectful." As his voice fell, the primordial Primordial Chaos merged with the Supreme Dao. The Daoist aura spread out like ripples on water, forcibly pushing aside the oppressive aura of the Peerless God Venerable wherever it passed. The originally violently trembling sea gradually calmed down, the waves stopped rolling, and the phantoms of celestial birds and Strange Beasts regained their composure, circling and flying again. The two powerful Daoist auras clashed in mid-air, forming an invisible barrier. On the barrier, runes flickered and Daoist sounds hummed, causing the surrounding air to stagnate, and even the light was slightly distorted here, refracting into seven-colored light.

"Arrogant!" the Peerless God Venerable roared, his eyes blazing with murderous intent, like burning torches. His once deep pupils now glowed with a golden-red light, filled with an overbearing arrogance of "I am the only one worthy of respect." "You dare to be so presumptuous before me with your mere miscellaneous Dao? Today I will show you what true Peerless Divine Might is!" With that, he swung his right hand, and the three thousand golden spears surrounding him instantly transformed into streaks of light, raining down on Ren Xiaoyao with incredible speed, exceeding... Transcending the boundaries of time and space, the spear broke the sound barrier and tore through space as it flew, leaving behind trails of darkness. Within these trails, countless "Peerless" runes flickered and leaped, each rune containing the domineering Daoist aura of "indestructible and invincible." As the runes intertwined, they formed a golden killing array. At the array's eye, golden divine light converged, containing World-Destroying Power, as if to completely trap Ren Xiaoyao within it, piercing through his divine body and Dao Heart.

Ren Xiaoyao's expression remained unchanged. He clenched his left hand in the air, and the Primordial Chaos Supreme Dao Law Chains reappeared. This Law Chains was even more refined than the one from the battle on the Heaven-Ascending Path. The chain was three feet in diameter, with black, white, and gold runes flashing alternately, like three intertwined Star River, radiating a divine might that encompassed all things and possessed pure sharpness. The Daoist rhythm of the primordial era flowed along the chain, each link seemingly bearing the weight of a Small World. With a slight tremor, the sound of the Great Dao echoed. He flicked his wrist, Law Chains, like a three-colored dragon awakening, swept out with a howling wind. Wherever the chain swept, space trembled violently, forming visible ripples, like giant rocks. Thrown into the lake, the chains of law deflected the incoming golden spears. "Clang! Clang! Clang!" The moment the Law Chains collided with the spears, countless sparks flew, each spark containing the collision of two Daoist principles. Landing on the sea surface, they shattered the hard immortal Ice Crystals, sending up countless Ice Crystals fragments that refracted seven-colored light, dazzling and spectacular. The "Peerless" rune collided and eroded with the three-colored runes, emitting a piercing roar, like thousands of bells and drums striking simultaneously. The entire sea trembled violently, and fragments of immortal energy in the seawater were scattered in all directions. Some illusory immortal mountains near the battlefield were even directly shattered and dissipated, turning into specks of immortal light that merged into the seawater.

"A mere trick!" The Peerless God Venerable scoffed, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes. His figure suddenly swelled, transforming from the size of an ordinary person into a giant ten thousand feet tall, identical to the former Supreme Dao Great Venerable. His crimson-gold armor also enlarged, its divine light growing ever more intense, like a golden sun hanging above the sea, blindingly bright. His hands rapidly formed hand seals, intricate and imbued with the essence of the Peerless Dao. He chanted incantations, the obscure Daoist sounds like Ancient Gods, drawing the immortal power of heaven and earth towards him. This immortal power surged into his body like a tide, making his aura even stronger. His crimson-gold armor erupted with ten thousand feet of divine light, dyeing the entire sea golden. Three thousand golden spears instantly converged before him, transforming under the nourishment of the divine light into a thousand-foot-long Peerless God Spear. This spear was entirely condensed from golden immortal power, and at its tip was the inscription "Peerless." The two characters shone brightly, radiating an awe-inspiring divine might. Dragon patterns coiled around the spear, as if an Ancient Gods slept within it, each breath resonating with the Heaven and Earth Energy. At the spearhead, space was torn open by a tiny Rift, and Chaos Qi seeped out, adding to the spear's ferocity. He gripped the spear tightly with both hands, raising it high, the muscles on his arms clearly visible under the divine light, containing World-Destroying Power, before slashing down fiercely at Ren Xiaoyao! Where the spearhead passed, the sea was split in two, forming a Bottomless Ravines. The seawater on both sides of the chasm stood frozen, unable to close for a long time. Within the chasm, the power of immortal energy, freed from its restraints, spread wildly, transforming into a violent Energy Storm that swept in all directions. Wherever it passed, the Space Barrier were torn open like paper, countless cracks appearing, and Chaos Qi surged endlessly.

Ren Xiaoyao's eyes narrowed, not daring to be careless. He could clearly sense that although the power of the Peerless God Venerable was not as pure Supreme Dao Great Venerable, it was superior in its domineering and unparalleled sharpness. In particular, the Peerless God Spear contained the Daoist principle of "one strike, one kill," which could even tear through the Daoist defense on his body, making him feel a trace of danger. The Creative Core between his brows erupted with a myriad of rays of light, and the black, white, and gold divine lights intertwined and swirled like three swimming dragons. The World-Breaking Spear instantly appeared. In his hand, this divine spear was now vastly different from what it once was. On its shaft, the Ancestor Dragon Phantom roared with its head held high, its Dragon Might might merging with the runes of the Supreme Dao, radiating an invincible aura. The spear tip shimmered with tri-colored divine light, seemingly capable of piercing the barriers of All Heavens and Myriad Worlds. Within the dragon scale patterns at the spear's tail, the pure Daoist essence of the Supreme Dao Great Venerable remained, further enhancing the spear's power. As the spear trembled, it emitted a dragon-like hum, echoing the power of the Ancestor Dragon deep within the sea, its power shaking the heavens.

"The Primordial Chaos Supreme Dao, one spear can shatter all laws!"

Ren Xiaoyao let out a long roar, his voice piercing through the Energy Storm, like a declaration of the Great Dao resounding throughout heaven and earth. Every syllable contained the Daoist essence of the Primordial Chaos Supreme Dao, causing the surrounding fragments of immortal energy to resonate and shimmer with Dazzling Light. His figure transformed into a Tricolor Streamer, his speed exceeding the limits of the naked eye, leaving behind afterimages on the sea. Where the afterimages landed, Golden Lotus bloomed, emanating a gentle Daoist aura that could neutralize the violent energy. Holding the World-Breaking Spear, he charged towards the Peerless God Spear. At the tip of the spear, three-colored divine light condensed into a single point, as brilliant as a star, containing the power to shatter all laws. The instant the spear and spear collided, a world-destroying energy erupted. The golden and three-colored divine light intertwined in mid-air, forming a massive Energy Vortex, a thousand miles in diameter, engulfing the surrounding area. The surrounding seawater, mist, and fragments of immortal essence were all swept into it. At the center of the vortex, space was completely shattered, and Chaos Qi surged endlessly, like the scene at the beginning of World Creation. Countless tiny Space Fragments spun in the vortex, making a hissing sound, as if they wanted to devour everything. The Peerless God Venerable felt a powerful force enter his body through the divine spear. It was both the inexhaustible vitality of Primordial Chaos Power, growing wildly like weeds and spreading along his meridians, and the pure sharpness of Supreme Dao power, tearing his meridians like a blade. The two forces intertwined, trying to tear apart his divine body and erode his Dao Heart. He felt a tightness in his chest and suddenly spat out a mouthful of golden Divine Blood. The Divine Blood fell into the seawater, dyeing a section of the sea gold. It then transformed into countless "Peerless" runes, attempting to fight back, but they were instantly swallowed up by the three-colored divine light.

"Impossible! How can your power be so bizarre?" A look of disbelief flashed in the eyes of the Peerless God Venerable, as if he had witnessed the most absurd thing in the world, his voice trembling slightly. He could sense that Ren Xiaoyao's Daoist aura was both inclusive and domineering, both pure and complex. This contradictory quality made it difficult for his Peerless Divine Might to be fully utilized. In the past, when facing enemies, his domineering power could always suppress all heterodox paths, but against Ren Xiaoyao, the opponent's power seemed to flow against his Daoist aura, not only unable to be suppressed, but also constantly eroding his origin. He tried to activate his divine essence to expel the power invading his body, but found that the three-colored power was like a bone-deep ailment, tightly binding his divine essence, constantly devouring and assimilating it, making his power weaker and weaker. The divine light on the crimson-gold armor also dimmed a bit, and the ancient seal "Peerless" on it lost its former luster, becoming somewhat dull.

Ren Xiaoyao gave the Peerless God Venerable no chance to catch his breath. He used the Ancestor Dragon Steps, a profound and mysterious technique imbued with the supreme Daoist essence of the Ancestor Dragon. His figure weaved through the Energy Vortex, as elusive as a ghost. Each step contained the Daoist essence of the Ancestor Dragon Laws, allowing him to both borrow force and instantly change direction. As the Ancestor Dragon Steps was activated, the sea trembled, and streams of dragon-shaped energy surged from his feet, containing Dragon Might might, coiling towards the Peerless God Venerable, attempting to bind him. In the blink of an eye, he appeared behind the Peerless God Venerable, his World-Breaking Spear thrusting out, its tip carrying three-colored divine light, aimed directly at the Peerless God Venerable's back—where... The weak point of his crimson-gold armor was also the crucial point connecting his Dao Heart and divine essence. The Peerless God Venerable reacted with lightning speed, dodging with the instinct honed through millennia of battle, barely avoiding a fatal blow. However, the spear tip still pierced his crimson-gold armor, leaving a deep, bone-revealing wound. From the wound, three-colored divine light surged in like a tide, relentlessly eroding his divine body and damaging his meridians, momentarily slowing his movements. The black Power of Annihilation disintegrated his divine essence, the white Creative Power reshaped his meridians while simultaneously eroding them, and the golden power of the Supreme Dao suppressed his Dao rhythm. The intertwining of these three forces caused him unbearable suffering, eliciting a painful roar.

"Who exactly are you? Why do you possess such a strange Dao aura?" The Peerless God Venerable was both shocked and furious, his voice trembling slightly, his eyes filled with resentment and confusion. He had guarded the Endless Vast Sea for countless Dao Path, from the orthodox lineage of the Primordial Chaos to the successors of the Supreme Dao, but he had never encountered an opponent like Ren Xiaoyao. The other party's Dao aura completely exceeded his understanding; it belonged neither to the Primordial Chaos, nor to the Supreme Dao, nor to any Dao Path he knew. It seemed to be a completely new and unprecedented Great Dao, shattering all his understanding of the Great Dao.

"My Dao is called the Primordial Chaos Supreme Dao, encompassing all things and endlessly regenerating." Ren Xiaoyao spoke calmly, his World-Breaking Spear flashing once more. The three-colored divine light transformed into countless spear shadows, like a shower of stars falling from the sky, enveloping the Peerless God Venerable. Each spear shadow contained a complete Dao essence, possessing both the inclusiveness of the Primordial Chaos and the purity of the Supreme Dao. Wherever the spear shadows passed, ripples spread through space, as if to devour everything. "You are obsessed with 'Peerless,' regarding all things as ants, unaware that the Great Dao is impermanent. Only through inclusiveness can one truly be Peerless. Today, I will seal you, allowing you to properly comprehend the true Great Dao True Meaning!"

As his voice fell, the Creative Core Ren Xiaoyao's brows shone brightly, like a rising tri-colored sun, its radiance illuminating the entire sea. Six Law Chains flew out from his body, runes flickering on Law Chains, containing supreme Dao principles of birth and death, creation, and reincarnation, weaving in the air into a massive tri-colored Law Net. This Law Net was ten thousand feet in Fang Yuan, its meshes shimmering with black, white, and gold runes, containing dual Dao principles of birth and death, creation, reincarnation, balance, the Ancestor Dragon, Fiend Suppression, and the Supreme Dao. A single rune released a binding force as it flowed, while the net was condensed from pure Primordial Chaos Supreme Dao power, making it indestructible. It also shimmered with subtle spatial runes, capable of imprisoning space and preventing the sealed one from escaping. With a wave of his hand, the three-colored Law Net enveloped the Peerless God Venerable like a celestial curtain. Wherever the Law Net passed, space was imprisoned, energy was quelled, and even the air around the Peerless God Venerable became as hard as steel, trapping him completely and rendering him unable to move. He could only let out a furious roar of resentment.

"No--! I am the Peerless God Venerable, no one can seal me!" The Peerless God Venerable struggled frantically, his divine energy surging like a volcanic eruption, assaulting the three-colored Law Net's confinement. His crimson-gold armor unleashed its final divine light, attempting to tear the Law Net apart. The phantoms of three thousand spears swirled around him, constantly striking the net's threads with deafening clangs. However, the three-colored Law Net's Daoist essence was too perfect. It possessed the inclusive power of the Primordial Chaos, capable of dissolving his raging divine energy; the purity of the Supreme Dao Primordial Chaos Power, capable of suppressing his Daoist essence; and the binding force of the Six Paths Law Chains, like six shackles, tightly locking his divine body and Dao Heart. His struggles were like an ant trying to shake a tree, not only unable to break free of the confinement but also having his divine energy continuously absorbed by the Law Net. His Dao Heart was gradually eroded by the three-colored Daoist essence, and cracks began to appear in his mind's obsession with "I am the only one who is supreme." The heterodox insights he had previously suppressed suddenly surged forth, causing his mind to become chaotic and his consciousness to gradually blur.

Ren Xiaoyao formed hand seals and chanted incantations. The obscure Daoist sounds, like Ancient Gods, entered the three-colored Law Net. Runes flickered on the Law Net, its light growing ever more intense, continuously compressing the Peerless God Venerable's form from a ten-thousand-foot giant to a thousand feet, then a hundred feet, finally transforming him into a golden stream of light, tightly enveloped by the Law Net. Within the stream of light, a trace of unwilling roar remained. He waved his hand, and this golden stream of light plummeted towards the seabed. Beneath the seabed, a massive Seal Formation slowly rose. The array was condensed from black, white, and gold divine light. At the array's eye, the phantom of the Creative Core flickered slightly, completely imprisoning the Peerless God Venerable in the center of the array. Three-colored runes flowed ceaselessly on the array, constantly nourishing his Dao Heart, attempting to help him break free from his obsession with "Peerless" and comprehend the Dao of Inclusivity. The array's binding power would gradually weaken as his Dao Heart shifted; if he could truly comprehend it, he would regain his freedom.

After sealing the Peerless God Venerable, Ren Xiaoyao put away the World-Breaking Spear and the Law Chains, landing on the sea surface. He was slightly out of breath, and a fine bead of sweat appeared on his forehead. The Peerless God Venerable's strength far exceeded his expectations, especially the sharpness of that Peerless God Spear, which almost broke through his defenses. If he hadn't fused with the power of the Supreme Dao and achieved perfect Dao rhythm, he would have had to pay a considerable price to defeat him today. He circulated the Primordial Chaos Supreme Dao power within his body, repairing the divine essence consumed in the battle and the damaged Dao rhythm. The fragments of immortal source in the seawater seemed to be guided, surging into his body, allowing his aura to recover rapidly at a visible speed, even stronger than before the battle. Within the Creative Core, the three-colored divine light flowed more smoothly, and the fusion of the six Law Chains became tighter, showing faint signs of breaking through his current realm. The Dao rhythm around him also became more profound, like a vast starry sky, encompassing all things.

Just then, the sky suddenly changed color! The once azure sky was instantly covered by dark clouds. These clouds were not ordinary black, but a grayish-black imbued with the Heavenly Dao Power, like a giant curtain enveloping the entire Endless Vast Sea, plunging it into complete darkness. The temperature of the world plummeted, as if plunged into an ice cellar. Amidst flashes of lightning and thunder, streaks of purple Heavenly Dao divine lightning weaved through the dark clouds, like lurking dragons. Dao God contained the power to purify everything, crackling and hissing as it flashed, making the air scorching hot, and even causing the immortal energy within the seawater to tremble. Trembling as if they had encountered their natural enemy, they all cowered in the depths of the sea, not daring to show their faces. A pressure a hundred times stronger than that of the Supreme Dao Great Venerable and the Peerless God Venerable combined descended from the heavens, enveloping the entire Endless Vast Sea like Mount Tai Crushing Down down. The seawater boiled wildly, and the waves reached tens of thousands of feet high, as if to devour the heavens and earth. The immortal energy in the seawater was forcibly suppressed by this pressure, and not even a trace could escape. The phantoms of those immortal birds and Strange Beasts vanished instantly, leaving not a trace. The outlines of the immortal mountains on the seabed also became blurred, and cracks spread across the mountain bodies, as if they would collapse at any moment.

In the sky, a figure slowly emerged. This person wore a grey robe, the hem fluttering even without wind, swirling with faint Heavenly Dao Runes. Each rune represented a World Laws and earth, and as the runes flickered, the Heaven and Earth Energy resonated with them. His face was shrouded in a hazy halo, indistinct, only his eyes, containing the World Laws, like two unfathomable stars, inspiring awe in those who beheld him, as if facing the entire universe, daring not to show the slightest disrespect. Countless Heavenly Dao Runes surrounded him, each shimmering with silvery-white divine light, containing the supreme Daoist principle of "Heavenly Regulation Heavenly Law, inviolable." The flow of the runes resonated with the Heaven and Earth Energy, as if he were the Incarnation of the Heavenly Dao itself, every word and action representing the will of heaven and earth, not to be defied. This was the ultimate Guardians of the Immortal Source Secret Realm — the Heavenly Dao God Venerable.

"You dare to trespass into the Forbidden Land the Immortal Origin and seal the Peerless God Venerable! How dare you!" The voice of the Heavenly Dao God Venerable descended like the might of heaven, devoid of any emotional fluctuation, yet carrying an undeniable majesty. Every syllable contained the immense Heavenly Dao Power, causing Ren Xiaoyao's blood and qi to surge, his Dao Heart to tremble slightly, and even his Creative Core to fluctuate, emitting an uneasy hum. This voice did not travel through the air but resounded directly in his sea of consciousness, as if forcibly twisting his Dao Heart and forcing him to submit to the Heavenly Dao. Within his sea of consciousness, countless Heavenly Dao Runes flickered, attempting to suppress his Primordial Chaos Supreme Dao power, causing his consciousness to gradually blur.

Ren Xiaoyao looked up at the Heavenly Dao God Venerable in the sky, a trace of solemnity flashing in his eyes, even a hint of unprecedented apprehension. He could clearly sense that the Heavenly Dao God Venerable's power far surpassed that of the Supreme Dao Great Venerable and the Peerless God Venerable. His Dao aura was not pure or domineering, but contained the supreme power of the World Laws. It seemed that every word and action could trigger the operation of the Heavenly Dao and bring down Heavenly Punishment. This power did not come from his own divine essence, but from heaven and earth themselves, endless and difficult to resist. It made him feel a great pressure, and the three-colored divine light around him swayed slightly, as if he would be crushed by this pressure at any moment. However, his Dao Heart remained firm, like an ancient rock, unmoved, and his eyes flashed with an indomitable light.

But Ren Xiaoyao did not back down. Three-colored divine light flowed around him, and the Daoist essence of the Primordial Chaos Supreme Dao erupted with full force, like a rising three-colored celestial curtain. Runes flickered on the curtain, resisting the oppressive aura of the Heavenly Dao God Venerable. Although still at a disadvantage, he firmly guarded his Dao Heart and divine body, refusing to be crushed by the pressure, his body remaining perfectly upright. Holding the World-Breaking Spear, he stood tall and proud, like a giant standing between heaven and earth, and proclaimed. "I came to seek the origin of immortality, not to intentionally defy the Heavenly Dao. The Peerless God Venerable's obsession is too deep, obstructing my path. I had no choice but to seal him, without any intention of harming him. He will release me when he breaks free of his obsession. I beg the God to make way; once I obtain the origin of immortality, I will depart and will not disturb the peace of this place."

"The origin of immortality is a supreme treasure of heaven and earth, nurturing the vitality of all things and establishing the order of the Mandate of Heaven. It cannot be obtained by anyone but those destined by Heaven." The voice of the Heavenly Dao God Venerable was still icy cold, like a frozen pool of ten thousand years, devoid of any warmth. Every word contained the majesty of the Heavenly Dao. "Your Dao is mixed and impure. Although it encompasses both the Primordial Chaos and the Supreme Dao, it violates the pure principles of the Heavenly Dao. How can a mixed Dao defile the origin of immortality? Today, let the Heavenly Dao punish you, purify your mixed Dao, and restore purity to heaven and earth!"

As the words fell, the Heavenly Dao God Venerable gently waved his right hand. The movement was slow, yet it contained a transformation of the World Laws. The dark clouds in the sky instantly gathered, transforming into a massive pillar of Heavenly Dao lightning. This pillar was not an ordinary cylinder, but rather exhibited irregular edges, as if pieced together from countless fragments of rules. On the pillar, countless Heavenly Dao Runes flickered and leaped, each rune representing a World Laws —there were "purification" runes, capable of clearing away all impure forces; there were "destruction" runes, capable of annihilating anything that violated the Heavenly Dao laws; there were "imprisonment" runes. Runes can lock the divine body and the Dao Heart. The pressure emanating from the interwoven runes caused the entire sea to tremble, as if the end of the world had arrived. The lightning pillar contained the supreme power to purify and destroy everything. It crashed down from the heavens, shattering space wherever it passed. Chaos Qi surged endlessly, and even the water of the Endless Vast Sea was instantly evaporated, revealing the outlines of the immortal mountains on the seabed. Touched by the pressure of the lightning pillar, those immortal mountains began to slowly collapse. The Rare Flowers and Exotic Herbs on the mountains withered, and the immortal essence dew instantly dried up and turned into ashes.

Ren Xiaoyao's eyes narrowed, not daring to be careless in the slightest, his mind racing with alarm bells. He could sense that the power of this Heavenly Dao Thunder Pillar far surpassed any previous attack. It not only contained immense energy but also exerted a suppressive force at the level of rules. If struck, not only would his divine body be severely injured, but his Dao essence might also be forcibly purified, and even the foundation of the Primordial Chaos Supreme Dao would be shaken. A myriad of divine lights erupted from the Creative Core his brows, the black, white, and gold divine lights intertwining to form a solid barrier. Runes flickered on the barrier, containing a sense of inclusiveness and... The defensive Daoist aura emanated from the World-Breaking Spear in his hand, which hummed with power. The Ancestor Dragon Phantom intertwined with the runes of the Supreme Dao, and the Dragon Might even resonated with a trace of the World Laws. He pushed the power of the Primordial Chaos Supreme Dao to its limit, and the six Law Chains within his body operated wildly. Runes flashed on the chains, absorbing all the remaining fragments of immortal source in the seawater into his body and turning them into part of his own power. Then, he stepped on the Ancestor Dragon Steps, and his figure transformed into a Tricolor Streamer, rushing towards the pillar of Heavenly Dao lightning, his eyes filled with determination and fearlessness.

The moment the spear tip collided with the lightning pillar, time seemed to stand still. Everything in the world fell into a deathly silence, except for a three-colored divine light and a silver-white lightning pillar confronting each other in mid-air. Countless fragments of rules and Daoist runes collided and eroded each other, emitting a silent roar. This roar wasn't heard through the ears, but resounded directly into the depths of the soul, causing all living beings in the entire sea to tremble. The Primordial Chaos Supreme Dao attempted to assimilate the Purifying Power of the Heavenly Dao lightning pillar, while the pure sharpness of the Supreme Dao attempted to tear apart the rule-bound constraints of the lightning pillar. The Principle birth and death, reincarnation, and balance constantly reconciled the conflict between the two forces, preventing the three-colored divine light from being devoured by the power of the lightning pillar. The "purification" runes on the lightning pillar operated frantically, emitting a silver-white light, attempting to clear the "impurities" in Ren Xiaoyao's Daoist essence, but were Primordial Chaos Power Dao... The Primordial Chaos Power the three colors of divine light became more condensed and assimilated, becoming a part of himself. The power of the "Destruction" rune, like a raging flood, attempted to annihilate Ren Xiaoyao's divine body, but was reversed by the Laws of Reincarnation. Part of it rebounded back, causing the dark clouds to churn, while the other part was transformed into life force by the Laws of Life and Death, nourishing Ren Xiaoyao's divine body. The "Imprisonment" rune attempted to lock Ren Xiaoyao's body and Dao Heart, but was cleverly resolved by the Balance Law, transforming into an invisible Dao rhythm that merged into the world. A Peak Confrontation concerning the rules of the Heavenly Dao and the Primordial Chaos Supreme Dao thus began. The entire Endless Vast Sea became the arena for the two supreme powers. The seawater evaporated, space shattered, and Primordial Chaos surged. Only the Dao God remained locked in a stalemate in mid-air, demonstrating their respective Great Dao True Meaning, their radiance shining brightly, illuminating the ancient wilderness.
