Breaking the Formation and Slaying

The stalemate between the lightning pillar and the spear tip had reached its peak. The silvery-white Heavenly Dao rules were like a solidified Milky Way, with billions of fine threads of rules intertwined and wrapped, carrying the supreme pressure of "Heavenly Regulation are irreversible." Each thread shimmered with a cold luster, as if it could sever all other Daoist principles in the world. Meanwhile, the black, white, and gold Primordial Chaos Supreme Dao was like a burning Chaos Fire, containing the boundless vitality of "all laws can be integrated." As the three-colored divine light surged, it sometimes transformed into the vast mist of the Primordial Chaos, sometimes condensed into the Supreme Dao edge of the Primordial Chaos, and sometimes blossomed with the vibrant vitality of creation. The two completely different supreme forces were tearing and merging wildly in mid-air, transforming into Chaos Vortex with a diameter of ten thousand feet. The Space Barrier at the edge of the vortex was constantly breaking and reforming like thin paper, emitting a teeth-grinding "crunching" sound. At the center of the vortex, countless fragments of rules exploded like a meteor shower. Each fragment fell with the force to tear apart heaven and earth, crashing onto the long-dried-up sea surface, instantly creating ravines thousands of feet deep. The rock layers at the edge of the ravines turned to dust under the impact of the rules, scattering with the wind. Those underwater immortal mountains that were once enveloped in immortal light now seemed to have suffered a catastrophic disaster, with large areas of the mountains collapsing and boulders shattering into pieces as they rolled down, stirring up clouds of dust. The soft light of the Forget-Sorrow Immortal Grass quickly dimmed in the storm of rules, and the natural Dao talismans on its leaves lost their luster, turning into ashes like a faded painting. The seven-colored light of the Heaven-Reaching Immortal Ganoderma Mushroom was extinguished abruptly like a candle flame being extinguished, and the Daoist aura on its cap vanished without a trace, leaving only a withered stem, swaying precariously in the gale. The Nirvana Flower, with their last crimson, fell like a weeping, blood-stained setting sun, turning into specks of red light that merged into the Chaos Vortex, leaving not even a trace.

Ren Xiaoyao felt a tearing pain in his arm, as if his meridians were about to burst under the power of the Heavenly Dao Thunder Pillar, his bones cracking under the strain. The "purification" runes within the Heavenly Dao Thunder Pillar, like a malignant tumor, frantically eroded along the shaft of the World-Breaking Spear, transforming into countless silver-white needles that densely pierced his limbs and bones, attempting to penetrate his meridians and drill into the Creative Core deep within his sea of consciousness, purifying the so-called "impurities" in his Daoist essence. The Creative Core buzzed in his sea of consciousness, its black, white, and gold divine light flickering violently, like a candle in the wind, its light flashing and dimming, as if it would be completely suppressed by the silver-white Heavenly Dao Power at any moment. But his Dao Heart grew ever more resolute, as unshakable as an ancient rock, his eyes flashing with an undying sharpness, a resolute smile curving his lips, each word resounding like thunder from the Great Dao: "The rules of the Heavenly Dao are not absolute! The Great Dao is myriad, and the true essence lies in its inclusiveness!"

A long roar resounded through heaven and earth, like the declaration of Ancient Gods, shaking even the Chaos Vortex, slowing its rotation by a fraction. The six Law Chains within Ren Xiaoyao's body erupted simultaneously, the dark golden divine light of the Ancestor Dragon Laws soaring into the sky, transforming into a ten-thousand-foot-long Ancestor Dragon Phantom Ancestral Dragon. Its scales shimmered with a dark golden luster, each scale as if forged from High Antiquity stars. With a swing of its claws, it stirred the remnant soul of the Ancestor Dragon, dormant for billions of years deep in the seabed, to unleash a deafening roar. The roar contained the vast and ancient Daoist rhythm, like thousands of war drums booming simultaneously, forcefully shattering the three "imprisonment" runes on the outer layer of the lightning pillar. The instant the runes shattered, the silvery-white Heavenly Dao Power dissipated like a tide, and the light of the lightning pillar dimmed for a moment. The silvery-white sharp light of the Suppressing Evil Laws transformed into thousands of miniature blades, piercing the lightning pillar like a swarm of bees, precisely targeting the "...". The veins of the "Destruction" rune were severed one by one. With each severed vein, the power of the lightning pillar weakened, and the originally violent Power of Destruction became stagnant, emitting a howl like a dying beast. The Laws of Life and Death and Laws of Reincarnation intertwined, forming a black and white vortex of Daoist rhyme. As the vortex spun, it emitted the profound Daoist rhyme of "life is death, death is life," reversing half of the Purifying Power in the lightning pillar and transforming it into life force that nourished itself. This life force flowed into the Creative Core along the meridians, stabilizing the swaying three-colored divine light and making it shine even brighter. The Balance Law, like an invisible bridge, skillfully reconciled the conflict between the Primordial Chaos Supreme Dao and the rules of Heavenly Dao, making the three-colored divine light more condensed in the face of adversity. The originally distinct three colors had now merged into a unified color of light, and as the Daoist rhyme flowed, it appeared more perfect, as if it contained the mysteries of the Beginning of Heaven and Earth.

"The Primordial Chaos Supreme Dao, the Six Paths Return to Their Origin, Break Through Boundaries!"

Ren Xiaoyao gripped the World-Breaking Spear tightly with both hands, his knuckles turning white from the force, veins bulging like coiled dragons. The Ancestor Dragon Phantom on the spearhead raised its head and swayed its tail, its Dragon Might Supreme Dao vast and boundless. The Supreme Dao runes and Primordial Chaos Divine Light completely merged, transforming into a three-colored spear that pierced through heaven and earth. The space around the spearhead was utterly torn apart, revealing a pitch-black abyss of Primordial Chaos. Amidst the Chaos Qi, the Daoist rhythm of World Creation seemed to flow faintly, as if this spear could pierce through All Heavens and Myriad Worlds and shatter all rules and constraints. This spear strike was no longer a simple clash of power, but rather an assimilation of the Heavenly Dao Primordial Chaos Supreme Dao rules with the Supreme Dao, and a reversal of the battle with the perfect power of the Six Paths Principle. It was the ultimate display of his lifelong cultivation and Dao Heart!

The moment the three-colored spear pierced the lightning pillar, countless silver-white Heavenly Dao Runes dissipated like a tidal wave, emitting a sizzling sound, like a red-hot iron being plunged into cold water. The lightning pillar exploded with a deafening roar, transforming into a shower of silver light that fell like a silver meteor shower onto the dried-up seabed, creating countless tiny craters. From within these craters, faint traces of immortal energy slowly seeped out. Taking advantage of the momentum, Ren Xiaoyao's figure swelled dramatically, instantly transforming from the size of an ordinary person into a giant tens of thousands of feet tall, echoing the figure of the Heavenly Dao God Venerable. His body radiated a three-colored divine light that spread like a celestial curtain, covering an area of tens of thousands of miles. Six Law Chains intertwined in the air to form a massive three-colored Law Net. On the net's threads, runes flickered erratically, each containing the Daoist essence of "embracing all things and breaking all rules." Wherever it passed, the Heavenly Dao Runes runes around the Heavenly Dao God Venerable dimmed, and the originally indestructible barrier of the divine realm shattered inch by inch like glass, emitting a crisp sound. The Heavenly Dao Power within the divine realm dissipated like a rootless tree, turning into wisps of green smoke.

For the first time, the Heavenly Dao God Venerable's expression fluctuated. A hint of disbelief, even shock, flashed in his eyes beneath the hazy halo. He had ruled the Heavenly Dao rules for countless ages and had seen countless brilliant talents, from inheritors of the Primordial Chaos lineage to peak experts of the Supreme Dao. Yet, no one had ever been able to so easily break through the Heavenly Dao Power, let alone use this so-called "mixed Dao" to counterattack Heavenly Dao. This completely overturned his understanding of the Great Dao. The Heavenly Dao Runes around him swirled wildly, flashing like a revolving lantern, attempting to re-condense the power of the rules and construct a new defense. However, he discovered that Ren Xiaoyao's Primordial Chaos Supreme Dao was like Bottomless Abyss, constantly devouring and assimilating his scattered Heavenly Dao Power. This caused his divine essence to decay at a visible rate, and his once abundant divine body now felt a sense of emptiness. The Heavenly Dao Power within him was flowing away like a flood bursting its banks.

"Impossible! How can the chaotic Dao shake the Heavenly Dao!" The Heavenly Dao God Venerable roared, his voice filled with exasperation. His hands moved rapidly, forming intricate hand seals that contained the profound mysteries of the Heavenly Dao Dao's operation. The traces left by his fingertips left eternal marks of rules in the void. His gray robes fluttered, moving even without wind, as countless Heavenly Dao Runes converged from the void like rivers flowing into the sea, condensing into a silver-white Heavenly Dao God Sword before him. The sword was about a thousand feet long, and on its blade, the ancient seal characters "Heavenly Regulation" and "Heavenly Law" shone brightly, radiating an inviolable supreme Dao aura. Wherever the sword's edge passed, the Space Barrier tore apart like paper, leaving behind dark Rift. Within these Rift, Chaos Qi surged, carrying the power to purify and annihilate everything, slashing fiercely down at Ren Xiaoyao, as if to completely obliterate this "abnormal being who defied the Heavenly Dao."

"The Dao has no purity or impurity, only the mind's desire!" Ren Xiaoyao neither dodged nor evaded, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes. He swept out with his World-Breaking Spear, its three-colored divine light cascading down like a waterfall, colliding violently with the Heavenly Dao God Sword. The resulting deafening roar shook the universe, like thousands of thunderclaps exploding simultaneously. The sound waves spread outwards, forming a visible sonic wave that shattered the remaining fragments of the immortal mountain in the distance, turning them into dust. The two supreme Dao energies collided violently in mid-air, forming a massive Energy Impact that spread outwards from the two of them. Wherever the shockwave passed, even the void itself twisted and trembled. The last remaining seawater in the Endless Vast Sea evaporated instantly, leaving not even a drop of water vapor. The seabed rock layers completely crumbled, revealing countless fragments of immortal source material beneath, shimmering with faint light. These fragments rose into the air under the Energy Impact, like countless stars surrounding the two of them, forming a dazzling star ring. As the star ring rotated, it emitted a pure immortal aura.

The Heavenly Dao God Venerable felt an immense power flow into his body through the divine sword. This power possessed the inclusiveness of the Primordial Chaos, like gentle flowing water, yet easily dissolving his Heavenly Dao Divine Essence; it also possessed the sharpness of the Supreme Dao, like the sharpest blade, capable of tearing apart his divine body's meridians; and it possessed the perfection of the Six Principle, like an invisible hand, capable of reversing his power of rules. He groaned, a trace of silvery-white Divine Blood spilling from the corner of his mouth. As the Divine Blood fell, it transformed into countless tiny Heavenly Dao Runes, attempting to retaliate, but they were instantly devoured by the three-colored divine light surrounding Ren Xiaoyao, transforming into energy that nourished his Dao essence, making the colorful light around him even more dazzling.

"You... who exactly are you?" The Heavenly Dao God Venerable's voice trembled slightly, even carrying a hint of despair. He could clearly feel his Dao Heart being eroded by Ren Xiaoyao Primordial Chaos Supreme Dao. His deeply rooted obsession with "the Heavenly Dao is unique and pure is supreme" was beginning to crack, and his past understanding of the Great Dao was being completely overturned, like a solid fortress being pried open. He knew that if he continued to fight today, he would undoubtedly be defeated, and his Dao Foundation might even collapse, his soul scattered, and his ten thousand years of cultivation destroyed in an instant.

A flash of determination and resentment crossed his eyes. The Heavenly Dao God Venerable suddenly raised his hand, Sky-Rending Strike. Brilliant silver-white divine light erupted from his five fingers, forcefully ripping open a rift in the void. A Rift filled with Heavenly Dao Runes Rift appeared behind him, emanating a dense Heavenly Dao Power, as if connecting to another space. "Ren Xiaoyao, I will remember this humiliation! The Heavenly Dao Reincarnation Formation will be your burial ground!" As his words fell, his figure transformed into a silver-white stream of light, diving into the Rift without hesitation. The instant the Rift closed, the entire world began to tremble violently, as if a cataclysmic event had occurred. Countless Heavenly Dao Runes surged from the void, converging like a tide. The runes intertwined and merged, weaving together into a massive array spanning tens of thousands of miles— the Heavenly Dao Reincarnation Formation.

This formation is woven from countless Heavenly Dao rules, appearing from afar like a gigantic silver-white vortex. At the center of the vortex, three enormous ancient seal characters float, radiating a chilling pressure. At the formation's eye, three enormous ancient seal characters, "Wheel," "Revolve," and "Heaven," float in the air, shining brightly. Each seal character is tens of thousands of feet in size, its surface shimmering with the light of Heavenly Dao rules, exuding the supreme Daoist charm of reincarnation, purification, and imprisonment. The three ancient seal characters resonate with each other, forming a stable triangle that maintains the formation's operation. At the center of the triangle, the power of reincarnation faintly flows. Within the formation, countless illusory images of reincarnation rise and fall, flashing by like a revolving lantern: the tragic scenes of Ancient Gods falling, their blood staining the heavens and earth, their divine bodies causing stars to collapse as they plummeted, emitting deafening roars. A deafening roar; the glorious ascension of Immortal Venerable to the Dao, with Auspicious Qi, heaven and earth rejoicing, all spirits submitting, countless celestial melodies swirling, and the Daoist rhythm permeating the air; the cycle of birth, aging, sickness, and death of Mortals, from the moment of birth to old age, joy and sorrow, happiness and grief, all vividly portrayed, each moment as real as a personal experience. Each illusory figure contained a trace of the Heavenly Dao's rules, precisely targeting the intruder's weaknesses in their Dao Heart, trapping them in endless reincarnation, never to escape. At the edge of the formation, a thick, silvery-white light shield enveloped the area like a celestial curtain, upon which Heavenly Dao Runes flowed ceaselessly, circulating like water, containing the Daoist rhythm of "unbreakable and insurmountable," as if even heaven and earth could be imprisoned, any creature attempting to intrude would be instantly annihilated, reduced to ashes.

"Trying to escape?" Ren Xiaoyao sneered, his voice tinged with disdain. His figure transformed into a streak of Tricolor Streamer, moving at incredible speed, appearing instantly before the Heavenly Dao Reincarnation Formation as if by Teleport. He could clearly feel the terrifying power contained within the array. Every illusory image of reincarnation stirred his Dao Heart, stirring up fragments of his past memories. The hardships and trials on his Cultivation Path surged into his mind like a tide. Every Heavenly Dao Runes exuded a suppressive aura, attempting to halt the flow of his Dao rhythm and make his divine body feel incredibly heavy. But there was no fear in his eyes; instead, a hint of excitement flashed—this Heavenly Dao Reincarnation Formation was the best touchstone to test whether he had achieved the perfection of the Primordial Chaos Supreme Dao. If he could break through this array, his Dao Heart would surely reach a higher level, bringing him one step closer to the true peak of the Great Dao.

"The Primordial Chaos Supreme Dao, break the formation!"

Ren Xiaoyao raised his hand and waved, the World-Breaking Spear transforming into a three-colored rainbow, accompanied by Sky-Rending Strike sound as it tore through the air. Its tip, gleaming with sharpness, pierced towards the array's protective barrier. The Ancestor Dragon Laws and the Suppressing Evil Laws intertwined at the spear tip, dark gold and silver-white Dao God reflecting each other, containing an indestructible sharpness that forcefully struck the barrier. A deafening clang, like a resounding bell, echoed throughout the surrounding area. Ripples spread across the barrier, countless Heavenly Dao Runes flashing wildly, like a startled swarm of bees, attempting to neutralize the spear tip's power. The runes collided with the spear tip, producing a crisp sound. However, the Supreme Dao power within the World-Breaking Spear tore through the runes like a sharp blade. With each rune shattering, a subtle "crack" could be heard. Meanwhile, the Primordial Chaos Power, like a greedy beast, continuously devoured and assimilated the barrier's energy, causing its divine light to dim slightly. The originally silver-white barrier now showed a faint gray tinge.

Immediately afterward, the Creative Core between Ren Xiaoyao's brows erupted with a dazzling light, like a rising tri-colored sun illuminating the entire world. The six Law Chains flew out simultaneously, weaving in the air into a massive tri-colored Law Net Law Net, ten thousand Fang Yuan, covering one-third of the array's light shield. On this Law Net, the Balance Law flowed ceaselessly, resonating with the Reincarnation Dao Charm within the array. This forcefully stripped away some of the power of the reincarnation phantoms, leaving them as if soulless, instantly dim and lifeless. He vanished in a wisp of green smoke, weakening the binding force of the formation by a third. He used the Ancestor Dragon Steps, his footwork incredibly profound. With each step, the void trembled. He moved swiftly along the edge of the formation as if strolling leisurely, each step precisely striking the weakest point. The dragon-shaped energy generated by the Ancestor Dragon Steps, like a drill, relentlessly impacted the same spot on the light shield with rotating power. The energy collided with the light shield, producing muffled "bang" sounds. Each impact caused a crack to appear on the light shield, the crack spreading like a spiderweb.

"The wheel of Heavenly Dao turns, yet it cannot imprison my Dao Heart!" Ren Xiaoyao roared, his voice piercing through the array's barrier, resounding throughout heaven and earth. He pushed the power of the Primordial Chaos Supreme Dao within his body to its limit, and the three-colored divine light surged into the World-Breaking Spear like a tidal wave. On the spear's body, the Ancestor Dragon Phantom and the Supreme Dao runes completely merged. The Dragon Head was raised high, emitting a deafening dragon roar. The dragon's roar reverberated through the array, the runes flashed, and it exuded a power that could shatter all laws, transforming into a three-colored spear beam that pierced through heaven and earth. Within the spear beam was the Daoist essence that could shatter all laws and encompass all things. Like a shooting star that pierced through the darkness, it carried an unstoppable momentum and fiercely stabbed towards the core of the array's light shield.

"Boom!"

The moment the three-colored spear light pierced the light barrier, the Heavenly Dao Reincarnation Formation emitted a deafening roar, as if the heavens and earth were collapsing. Countless Heavenly Dao Runes exploded like a meteor shower, drawing silver trails in the air. The illusory figures of reincarnation within the array dissipated, turning into specks of silver light that scattered and merged into the void. Ren Xiaoyao seized the opportunity to enter the array. Inside, countless Heavenly Dao rules intertwined into a web, as intricate as a maze. Each path contained a different Reincarnation Dao Charm. Some were intoxicating pleasures, with fine wine, delicacies, and celestial maidens surrounding one, making one forget all worldly cares; others were despairing pains, with the fall of loved ones and the shattering of Dao Foundation, causing one's heart to break; still others were obsessive thoughts that led one astray, with no hope of Chang Sheng the Dao and the difficulty of achieving immortality, driving one to madness and attempting to lead one into endless reincarnation, from which there is no escape.

But his Dao Heart was already perfected, having undergone countless life-and-death trials. The Primordial Chaos Supreme Dao could dissolve all the pulls of reincarnation. Holding the World-Breaking Spear, he moved through the formation as if strolling in a garden, his steps unhurried. The Six Paths Law Chains swept around him, assimilating and tearing apart the Heavenly Dao rules along the way. When he encountered the illusion of reincarnation, he responded with his own Laws of Reincarnation, transforming the power of the rules within the illusion into his own Dao rhythm, making the Laws of Reincarnation even more perfect. When he encountered Purification Runes, he embraced them with the Primordial Chaos Power, transforming them into energy to nourish the Creative Core, making the core's light even brighter. When he encountered the power of confinement, he tore it apart with the Supreme Dao, making his path forward unobstructed.

At the core of the formation, the Heavenly Dao God Venerable sat cross-legged, Heavenly Dao Runes swirling wildly around him like a vortex. The runes continuously merged into his body, attempting to repair his damaged Dao Foundation, while simultaneously drawing upon the final power of the formation to condense into a deadly Killing Moves. This Killing Moves contained the dual Dao principles of reincarnation and destruction, prepared to launch a surprise attack when Ren Xiaoyao approached. Seeing Ren Xiaoyao break through the formation's defenses so easily, as if entering an empty field, a trace of despair and resentment flashed in his eyes. His already pale face became even more ashen, and the blood at the corner of his mouth had not yet dried.

"Ren Xiaoyao, do you really intend to kill us all?" The Heavenly Dao God Venerable's voice was icy cold, like a frozen pool of ten thousand years, devoid of any warmth. The Heavenly Dao Power around him surged wildly, forming a huge silver-white shield. On the shield, the two characters "Heavenly Regulation" shone brightly, attempting a final struggle.

Ren Xiaoyao stood at the core of the formation, his body surrounded by three-colored divine light, his Daoist aura perfectly perfect, as majestic as the Heavenly Dao itself, making people dare not look directly at him. He spoke calmly, his voice not loud, but containing an Peerless God Venerable company."

The Heavenly Dao God Venerable's face was ashen, his eyes fixed on Ren Xiaoyao, filled with venomous resentment, as if he wanted to devour him alive. He knew he had no chance of winning; the core rules of the formation were being continuously assimilated by Ren Xiaoyao's Primordial Chaos Supreme Dao, his own Dao Foundation was severely damaged, and his divine essence had diminished by more than half. He was no match for Ren Xiaoyao. A ruthless glint flashed in his eyes, and he suddenly detonated part of his Dao Foundation Dao Foundation shattered, a vast Heavenly Dao Power erupted, forcefully tearing apart the last barrier of the formation, forming an escape route. He then transformed into a silver-white stream of light, fleeing along the route into the depths of the Endless Vast Sea. As he fled, he left behind a roar filled with unwillingness, his voice carrying a hint of Curse, echoing throughout the entire sea. "Ren Xiaoyao, within the Immortal Source Secret Realm, there are even more terrifying beings! Those are powers that even the Heavenly Dao must fear. If you insist on entering, you will surely die a violent death, your soul scattered to the winds!"

Watching the Heavenly Dao God Venerable's fleeing figure, Ren Xiaoyao did not pursue. He could sense that the Heavenly Dao God Venerable had suffered severe damage to his vital energy Dao Foundation, and could no longer pose a threat to him in the short term. Moreover, his target was the Immortal Origin, not slaughter. He turned and looked at the void at the core of the formation, where a Rift filled with immortal energy was slowly unfolding. At the edge of the Rift, seven-colored light flowed, as dazzling as a rainbow. Within the Rift, the power of the Immortal Origin was extremely pure, ten thousand times stronger than the fragments of the Immortal Origin in the Endless Vast Sea. The immortal energy flowed out as if it were tangible, making the air viscous. Under the pull of this power, the Creative Core emitted a joyful hum, like parched plants receiving rain, yearning to absorb this power.
