Huang Tian's Rebuke of the Heavenly Dao, Great Dao's Protection, Great Dao Merit Like It's Free!

"Clatter!"

The Pangu Will passed through Huang Tian's body, causing no harm whatsoever.

Instead, it stirred the infinite Earth Vein Power within a million-mile radius of Buzhou Mountain, drawing it continuously toward the mountain's base.

The Earth Vein Power merged with the Great Dao Merit, sinking steadily and evenly into the twelve stone steles.

The steles erupted with a heavy, earthy-yellow radiance, drawing the Pangu Will into their depths.

By using the Great Dao Merit to temper the steles into Merit Spirit Treasures, they linked with the boundless Earth Vein Power, mending the weakened origin of the Buzhou Pillar.

With the protection of the Merit Spirit Treasures, the dissipation rate of the Pangu Will slowed significantly.

As time passed, the continuous influx of Earth Vein Power ensured that the Pangu Will would no longer fade away.

Thus, guarded by the twelve Merit steles and the Pangu Will itself, not even a Sage could topple Buzhou Mountain.

"Rumble!"

Just as Huang Tian was using his blood-energy to command the Kongtong Seal and accelerate the connection to the Earth Vein Power, the Nine Sounds of Heavenly Thunder erupted. A violent, destructive aura of thunder instantly manifested, shrouding the entire million-mile radius.

A massive eyeball, blotting out the sky, flickered in and out of existence amidst the boundless, heavy thunderclouds.

"What are you looking at?"

"If you have the guts, strike! If not, get lost!"

Looking up at the firmament, Huang Tian dismissed the surveillance of the Heavenly Dao with utter disdain.

Only if Buzhou Mountain collapsed could the Pangu Will be completely dissipated.

Without the Pangu Will, the Heavenly Dao could usurp the nest.

Now that Huang Tian intended to preserve the Pangu Will forever, it naturally clashed with the schemes of the Sentient Heavenly Dao.

Yet, the Eye of Heavenly Dao hid within the thunder, restless but not daring to truly strike.

Huang Tian had forged the twelve steles using the very substance of Buzhou Mountain.

He had then infused them with Great Dao Merit, Earth Vein Power, and the Pangu Will.

Even if the Heavenly Dao had the power to shatter these twelve steles, the resulting Karmic Retribution would be enough to cause its own consciousness to suffer a backlash and dissipate, reducing it to a purely impartial Heavenly Dao.

Therefore, faced with Huang Tian's provocation, the Heavenly Dao could only watch and observe in silence.

"Heh."

"Martial Dao Dharma Image, emerge!"

"Engrave!"

With a cold sneer at the Heavenly Dao, seeing that it dared not act, Huang Tian wasted no time and summoned his 1.5 billion-foot Martial Dao Dharma Image.

A divine weapon, forged purely from blood-energy, appeared in the hands of the Martial Dao Dharma Image, beginning to carve the True Martial Dao Intent onto the twelve stone steles, stroke by stroke.

On each stele, Huang Tian engraved a different depiction of True Martial Dao Intent.

Different living beings would be able to comprehend countless martial possibilities from the twelve distinct steles.

Each depiction of True Martial Dao Intent included not only martial cultivation methods but also myriad Martial Dao Combat Techniques and Martial Dao Divine Abilities.

The introductory techniques had no threshold; any sentient being with awakened intelligence could comprehend them.

However, comprehending the Martial Dao Combat Techniques and Martial Dao Divine Abilities required a certain level of talent and innate foundation.

"Rumble!"

The moment Huang Tian engraved the final depiction of True Martial Dao Intent, a violent roar echoed throughout heaven and earth.

Flowers rained from the sky, and golden lotuses surged from the earth.

Profound, ancient Dao rhymes manifested out of thin air around the twelve stone steles.

Seeing this, the Eye of Heavenly Dao could no longer restrain itself.

In its perception, if Huang Tian's plan succeeded, the Buzhou Pillar would never collapse for all eternity.

As long as the Pangu Will existed, the Heavenly Dao would remain inferior; how could it possibly tolerate this?

"Crack!"

The next moment, before the Heavenly Dao could even strike at Huang Tian, the Eye of Heavenly Dao was struck by lightning and vanished into smoke in an instant.

An eyeball surrounded by infinite Great Dao Merit appeared—it was the Eye of Great Dao.

The Eye of Heavenly Dao had been struck by the lightning summoned by the Eye of Great Dao, and it retreated in shame, not even daring to continue spying on Huang Tian.

"Interesting."

Glancing at the firmament, Huang Tian understood why the Eye of Great Dao had appeared.

Because Hongjun's Immortal Dao was one of plunder, essentially draining the Prehistoric World like fishing in a dried-up pond.

But the Martial Dao was one of symbiosis, complementing the Prehistoric World.

Furthermore, what Huang Tian was doing was protecting the Buzhou Pillar, which meant he was protecting the perfect development of the Prehistoric World.

And so, Great Dao Merit appeared.

As the Eye of Great Dao drove away the Eye of Heavenly Dao, a vast, boundless expanse of Great Dao Merit gathered, ready to descend and bestow its blessing upon Huang Tian at any moment.

"The Eye of Great Dao?"

"Has the world gone mad? Why has it descended with so many Great Dao blessings in less than a million years?"

"Could he truly be the Son of the Great Dao?"

The pressure from the Eye of Great Dao was terrifyingly extreme, instantly saturating every corner of the Prehistoric World.

Di Jun and Taiyi in the Lingxiao Treasure Hall.

Laozi, Yuanshi, and Tongtian on Kunlun Mountain.

Minghe in the Sea of Blood, and Zhenyuanzi and Hong Yun at Wuzhuang Temple.

Every single one of the top Great Divine Powers of the Prehistoric World gasped, crying out in shock.

Looking up at the Great Dao Merit appearing in the sky as if it were worthless, every living being turned green with envy.

"Could it be that because I used the Immortal Dao to steal the Heaven-Opening Merit of the Sanqing, the Witch Clan has truly become Pangu's Orthodox Lineage?"

"Such a vast amount of Great Dao Merit is enough to forge a Quasi-Saint Peak."

"Forget it. Now that the Heavenly Dao has been born and taken over the operation of the Prehistoric World, the Great Dao cannot manifest indefinitely."

"As long as my Immortal Dao continues to spread among the endless living beings,"

"No matter how many twists and turns the process takes, once I achieve Dao Integration, the result will remain the same."

Fearing that further deduction of Tianji would lead to another backlash, Hongjun quickly made his decision, closed his eyes, and returned to his state of Dao Integration.

Di Jun, Taiyi, Minghe, the Twelve Ancestral Witches, and the Sanqing dared not attempt any further deductions.

After all, with the Eye of Great Dao standing guard, who would dare to pry?

Even if a Sage were to attempt a deduction, they would likely perish on the spot if struck by the backlash of the Great Dao.

"Boom!"

At this very moment, on Buzhou Mountain.

As Huang Tian carved the final inscription, the majestic Great Dao Merit in the sky finished condensing.

The heavens and earth roared as the Great Dao Merit descended, dividing into ten portions.

Two of these portions were distributed equally among the twelve Buzhou Mountain stone tablets, causing them to bloom with brilliant golden light.

A moment later, the golden light receded, and the twelve Buzhou Mountain stone tablets took on the same color as Buzhou Mountain itself—ancient, heavy, and dark gray.

"Not bad!"

Seeing this, Huang Tian nodded in satisfaction.

Tempered by the Great Dao Merit, the twelve Buzhou Mountain stone tablets had all transformed into Low-grade Innate Merit Spiritual Treasures.

Although their inherent quality was not top-tier, their ability to suppress destiny was comparable to an Innate Supreme Treasure.

Furthermore, protected by the Earth Vein Power of the Prehistoric World, even if the Heavenly Dao were to intervene, it could not destroy the twelve Buzhou Mountain stone tablets.

The remaining eight portions of Great Dao Merit were fixed in the void by Huang Tian using the Kongtong Seal.

"In the name of the Martial Ancestor, I proclaim to the heavens and earth!"

"Seeing that the universe is flawed, all living beings are ignorant, lacking a path to immortality or a way to verify the Dao, and are thus shackled by their mortal frames."

"Today, I establish the Human Immortal Martial Dao, creating a precedent unseen in all eternity!"

"I pass down the method of attaining sainthood through the flesh and breaking the heavens through martial arts, to shelter mortal beings and forge the foundation of the Martial Dao."

"Let the Great Dao be the witness, and the universe be the proof!"

Without a moment's hesitation, Huang Tian's roar shook the firmament.

"Boom!"

The heavens and earth roared, and the Eye of Great Dao trembled slightly. Infinite natural Dao rhymes filled the space between heaven and earth, converging into a massive character: Martial!

The naturally born Great Dao character—Martial—had barely appeared before it split into twelve, merged with the eighty percent of Great Dao Merit, and sank into the twelve Buzhou Mountain stone tablets.

From then on, the Buzhou Mountain stone tablets were known as the Martial Dao Stone Tablets.

Under the influence of the Martial character's Dao rhyme, the True Martial Dao Intent diagrams on the twelve Martial Dao Stone Tablets became even more vivid, subtly containing the mysteries of the three thousand laws.

"Rumble!"

The roaring of the heavens and earth grew even more intense; it was even more Great Dao Merit gathering than before.

However, the Great Dao Merit transformed into a Merit Golden Cloud, yet it showed no sign of descending.

Looking up, a mysterious intuition allowed Huang Tian to see through everything, revealing that within the Merit Golden Cloud, some kind of supreme treasure was about to manifest in the world!
