Breakthrough to Quasi-Saint, Suppressing Three Thousand Deities!

"What is East King Duke trying to do?"

Before Purple Cloud Palace, an Innate Deity exclaimed, covering their mouth in disbelief.

East King Duke sat cross-legged atop the Creation Green Lotus, his mana profoundly obscure, the Law of Strength suppressing space, the Power of Yin-Yang flowing outward.

In an instant, Immortal Charm spread, and boundless Purple Dao Rhyme emerged above East King Duke's head.

Three Flowers Gathering at the Crown, Five Energies Returning to the Origin.

This was clearly a sign of entering enlightenment, with his realm on the verge of breaking through.

Could it be that East King Duke intended to attain the Quasi-Saint Dao before Purple Cloud Palace?

Portents evolved, shattering all laws.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

"Since the War of Dao and Demon ended, aside from breaking the Quasi-Saint shackles through luck, there has been no other way to attain Quasi-Saint in the Primordial World. East King Duke hasn't established any faction, so there's no way he can break through to Quasi-Saint now!"

From the crowd, voices of doubt rang out.

Though the three thousand deities knew that the realm beyond Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal was Quasi-Saint and Saint, no one had ever dared to touch that Quasi-Saint realm.

The purpose of the Second Lecture at Purple Cloud Palace was precisely to seek the method of becoming Quasi-Saint.

For East King Duke to attempt a breakthrough now was nothing but wishful thinking.

"Chaos first evolved, World Creation, Slay Gods and Destroy Worlds, one force breaks all laws—break!"

East King Duke murmured, the Nine Revolutions Profound Origin Technique refining endless chaotic energy, the Law of Strength forming countless divine patterns that drifted through his flesh and Primordial Spirit.

Within his meridians, supreme mana surged forth, shattering the bonds of rules, gradually crossing the chasm between Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal and Quasi-Saint.

Boom!

A thunderous sound erupted from within East King Duke's body.

In that instant, it was as if Great God Pangu had revived, an irresistible force surging toward the surrounding Innate Deities, sweeping across the entire Primordial World.

"This force—block it quickly!"

"Heaven and Earth Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Pagoda, Great Dao Merit Golden Wheel, manifest—suppress!"

Old Master Taiqing was the first to react, directly offering up his Postnatal Merit Supreme Treasure, shielding Yuanshi and Tongtian behind him, channeling his mana to resist East King Duke's pressure.

At the same time, many Innate Deities were sent flying by the Law of Strength, some prostrating on the ground, while even the top-tier Innate Deities felt a weight press down on their shoulders.

Time is honored, space is king.

Fate does not emerge, cause and effect reign supreme.

The Great Dao of Strength, supreme above all.

Among the Three Thousand Laws, the Law of Strength can open the primordial chaos, suppress spacetime and nothingness.

Eastern Emperor Taiyi was on the verge of breaking through to Early-stage Quasi-Saint, and now all his mana poured forth, the Law of Strength unbound, destroying heaven and earth, scorning all beings.

"Chaos Bell—stabilize!"

Seeing Dijun and the Demon Race struggling to hold on, Eastern Emperor Taiyi's heart burned with unwillingness. True Sun Fire of crimson-gold blazed fiercely, and the Chaos Bell rang out with a clanging sound.

The Spacetime Law and Sun Law unfolded, barely preventing them from being crushed by the Law of Strength.

Yet even so, Eastern Emperor Taiyi, bearing an immeasurable torrent of energy, spat out a mouthful of blood. His entire demeanor turned ferocious, his murderous intent seemingly enough to slay East King Duke ten thousand times over.

"Forget it, this poor Daoist has no desire to spit blood!"

"Since I'm no match for Fellow Daoist East King Duke, why not just slack off a bit?"

Fuxi gave up resisting, letting the Law of Strength fling him away.

The more one resisted, the more terrifying the force became.

Now that East King Duke's breakthrough to Early-stage Quasi-Saint was a foregone conclusion, Fuxi knew his own talent and potential were inferior to the man before him, so he simply lay flat.

"Fellow Daoist East King Duke's breakthrough—what a misfortune for us poor wretches!"

"Dao Ancestor, save us!"

Old Ancestor Hongyun cried out, clutching Zhen Yuanzi's arm tightly.

Having cultivated for countless ages, yet still unable to roam freely through the Great Void, forced to submit to East King Duke's pressure—this left the Innate Deities present utterly humiliated, their pride shattered.

Creak!

The gates of Purple Cloud Palace suddenly swung open, and Dao Ancestor Hongjun's aura emanated from within the hall. A benevolent Immortal Dao power dissolved East King Duke's might, allowing the crowd to regain their composure.

"We thank the Dao Ancestor!"

The suffocating sensation vanished. The assembled great beings looked at East King Duke and drew in a sharp breath.

The Great Luo Three Flowers, the Law of Strength and Yin-Yang Law at minor accomplishment, and the Immortal Dao Law at the entry level—surpassing everyone present.

Utterly monstrous!

"Early-stage Quasi-Saint, yet his combat power is immeasurable!"

"The Law of Strength, thick and mighty; the Yin-Yang Law, undying and imperishable; the Immortal Dao Law, vast and ethereal—this is the divine might befitting This Emperor!"

The strange phenomena dissipated, and he restrained his aura.

East King Duke stood up, cupping his hands slightly toward the surrounding innate gods to express his apologies.

Seeing the killing intent in Dijun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi's eyes, he raised an eyebrow lightly, a faint smile curling at the corner of his mouth, as if the fate of those two was already a dead end.

Before long.

The crowd surged in, arriving at the main hall of Purple Cloud Palace.

The Immortal Dao stretched vast, the Great Dao was profound and obscure, utterly mysterious and exquisite.

Dao Ancestor Hongjun sat high atop the Cloud Platform, the Jade Disk of Creation hanging down with the Three Thousand Laws, the vastness of the Immortal Dao encompassing all things as he swept his gaze over the crowd.

Haotian and Yaochi knelt on either side of Dao Ancestor Hongjun, their cultivation having also reached Peak Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal, which made the lower-realm innate gods deeply envious.

"This is my second sermon. This time, I will explain the Path to Quasi-Saint, which can also be called the Path of the Golden Immortal of the Origin."

"A Saint is a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal of the Origin, but a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal of the Origin is not a Heavenly Dao Saint. The Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal of the Origin is a realm; the Heavenly Dao Saint is a fruit of attainment, able to enjoy the merits of the Primordial World and remain undying through countless kalpas."

"All beneath a Saint are ants. If you wish to attain the Dao, you must listen attentively."

Dao Ancestor Hongjun spoke eloquently, spitting out rules from his mouth. With just a few words, he plunged all the innate gods into enlightenment, immersing them in the boundless Immortal Dao.

East King Duke did not rest on his laurels. Instead, he comprehended the Immortal Dao Law, seeking a thread of opportunity from Dao Ancestor Hongjun's Immortal Dao.

With a flick of his right hand, several Yellow Middle Plum fruits were swallowed by him and West Queen Mother. The dense Innate Spiritual Qi elevated their cultivation and stabilized their realms.

The Myriad Heavens Celebration Cloud and the Creation Green Lotus also released infinite rules, aiding East King Duke in comprehending the Immortal Dao Law.

Time in the Primordial World was immeasurable; in an instant, three thousand years passed.

The Dao Sound gradually faded, and the people awoke from their enlightenment.

"Your Immortal Dao Law has reached minor success. I am far inferior to East King Duke!"

"The gap between Great Luo Three Flowers Rank Nine and Rank Twelve is truly no small matter—it is like an insurmountable chasm."

"If I had East King Duke's comprehension, I might not need to merge with the Dao and fight alongside the Heavenly Dao against the outer demons and Chaos Evil!"

Dao Ancestor Hongjun's eyelids drooped slightly; he was clearly very satisfied with East King Duke's performance.

As the spokesperson of the Heavenly Dao, he knew his fate was to mend the Heavenly Dao's flaws and stabilize the rules of the Primordial World, lest the latent remnants of the Chaos Demon Gods rise again.

However, by merging with the Dao, Dao Ancestor Hongjun would no longer be himself.

Hongjun became the Heavenly Dao, but the Heavenly Dao was not Hongjun.

Under the pollution of kalpas and Chaos Demonic Qi, the Heavenly Dao was constantly being assimilated by the aura of misfortune, and even the original True Spirit of the Heavenly Dao would eventually be devoured completely.

Dao Ancestor Hongjun was merely delaying the speed at which the Heavenly Dao was tainted.

In the main hall.

The Three Thousand Innate Gods looked bewildered.

Dao Ancestor Hongjun's Dao techniques were profound and extremely difficult to understand. Though they knew the method to attain the Quasi-Saint path, it felt like a dream, and they could not grasp the true gate to enlightenment.

Even the Three Pure Ones, Nuwa, Zhunti, and Jieyin on the cushions were utterly confused at this moment, unable to seize that final thread of opportunity.

It was like Instantaneous Teleportation—right before their eyes, yet impossible to grasp.

"I, Old Master Taiqing, am dull-witted and cannot comprehend the method to attain Quasi-Saint. May I ask, Dao Ancestor, how can we become Quasi-Saints?"

On the cushion, Old Master Taiqing bowed respectfully.

Although he had gained much, he still needed Dao Ancestor Hongjun's guidance to suddenly comprehend the Path to Quasi-Saint.

"Please, Dao Ancestor, explain the method of attaining the Dao!"

Seeing this, the other innate gods kowtowed and prostrated themselves before Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

Slaying the Three Corpses to become a Saint; slaying a corpse could make one a Quasi-Saint.

But that single thread of opportunity—they simply could not grasp it. Thus, they all begged Dao Ancestor Hongjun to bestow upon them the method of attaining the Dao.

Seeing this, Dao Ancestor Hongjun nodded slightly, his eyes full of praise for Old Master Taiqing.

Not being ashamed to ask for guidance—that was the true character of a top-tier great power.

"The Great Dao has three thousand paths, and all can lead to Quasi-Saint!"

"Though I can tell you the method of attaining the Dao, some among you have already comprehended the Immortal Dao. Therefore, why not let East King Duke explain it in my stead?"

With a benevolent expression, Dao Ancestor Hongjun looked at East King Duke.

He would not become the Head of Male Immortals, but he deliberately wanted East King Duke to steal the spotlight.

For no other reason than that, after he merged with the Dao, the living beings of the Primordial World would have someone to take charge.

East King Duke was the most suitable candidate!
