Rumble--!!!
Emperor Donghua's Killing Sword Net and Maitreya Buddha's Buddha Kingdom in the Palm fell almost simultaneously.
One is incomparably sharp, capable of the most precise cutting and annihilation at the level of Principle;
One is immense and boundless, exerting comprehensive suppression and blockade on both spatial and mental levels.
"I'll fight you to the death..."
Zilu roared and unleashed all his strength to resist.
However, his defenses were as fragile as paper, easily torn apart and crushed by the combined attack of these two former Quasi-Saint.
"Puff--!"
Zilu was struck as if by lightning, his body trembled violently, and he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood mixed with dark golden fragments of Dao principles and foul black energy.
He was sent flying backward like a kite with a broken string, his protective immortal light shattering inch by inch, his golden immortal body covered with spiderweb-like cracks, and his aura instantly weakened to the extreme.
This attack nearly caused Zilu to collapse on the spot!
If he hadn't refined a portion of the Heavenly Dao Origin, and his life force hadn't been connected to this world, this attack would probably have been enough to annihilate him, body and soul!
Zilu saw the two men's ruthless and merciless actions and felt fear in his heart.
He knew that if the fight continued, he would surely die.
Almost instantly, Zilu made up his mind, raised his hand to tear through the void, and wanted to escape this world.
"Trying to run away?"
Did you ask the Buddha?
The smile on Maitreya Buddha's face finally vanished completely, his eyes turning as cold as ice.
He took a step forward, his massive body bursting with terrifying speed, instantly blocking Zilu's path as he tried to Rift Cleave and escape.
With a wave of his hand, the sky-covering "Buddha Kingdom in the Palm" reappeared, even more solid than before.
Within the illusory image of the Buddhist Kingdom, a majestic Buddhist Chant could be faintly heard, carrying a Supreme will that declared, "I am the master of this world," as it descended upon Zilu!
The endless Buddhist light transformed into tangible golden chains, instantly coiling around Zilu and imprisoning him along with the chaotic Principle surrounding him.
"Get out of here!"
Zilu struggled frantically, but he could never escape the control that Kingdom in the Palm grasp.
"Kill!"
Emperor Donghua said no more nonsense.
He wielded the Exterminating Immortal Sword, transforming it into a dark golden sword rainbow that pierced through the heavens and earth, carrying a pure Killing Intent to annihilate and end everything, and followed closely behind!
This sword strike was so fast it transcended time, so ruthless it severed all chance of survival, and so precise it struck right at the heart of the matter!
In the instant that Zilu was suppressed by the Buddhist Kingdom and his mind was utterly shaken—
"Laugh!"
The dark golden sword light pierced through Zilu's cracked protective Immortal Light without any hindrance, and stabbed into his chest with perfect accuracy.
The terrifying Slaughter Sword Intent the Exterminating Immortal Sword, like the most deadly venomous snake, instantly invaded Zilu's limbs, bones, and Primordial Spirit Sea of Consciousness!
"Ugh--!"
Zilu let out an extremely shrill scream, his eyes filled with endless resentment, fear, and unwillingness.
He could clearly feel a terrifying Sword Intent specifically targeting the Origin and Divine Soul, frantically eroding and obliterating all his vitality, with his chest as the core.
He attempted to mobilize the power of the Heavenly Dao Origin he had just refined to resist, trying to detonate the remaining Forbidden Power and perish together with it, but under the dual suppression of the Immortal Exterminating Immortal Sword Intent and the Buddha Kingdom in the Palm, all his struggles seemed so futile.
No... I'm not reconciled.
I have been planning for tens of thousands of years... How could I... How could I perish here?
Teacher... Teacher, save me!!
Zilu let out a desperate roar, his voice filled with fear of death and his final hope for Kong Qiu.
However, all he received in response was Emperor Donghua's cold gaze and an even more surging influx of the Exterminating Immortal Sword Intent.
"Destroy."
Emperor Donghua uttered a single word and unleashed the full power of the Exterminating Immortal Sword, Sword-Ray to erupt within Zilu's body.
Countless tiny Swords of Death gradually and thoroughly obliterated Zilu's remaining immortal body, Divine Soul, Dao principles, and even his connection with the Heavenly Dao, bit by bit!
Zilu's screams grew weaker and weaker, his struggles less and less intense, and the light in his eyes quickly faded.
His powerful Golden Immortal body began to disintegrate inch by inch from the wounds, like a weathered sand sculpture, turning into wind and sand and returning to the world.
The part of the Heavenly Dao Origin that he had forcibly refined and corrupted began to slowly peel away and dissipate from his collapsing body.
A moment later, Zilu's last trace of Divine Soul vanished completely into the endless Slaughter Sword Intent.
Wherever they were, only a ball of light radiating pure Heavenly Dao energy remained, along with a few broken magical Law Treasure and an ancient, cracked Confucian Jade Pendant.
This once- Daluo Golden Immortal, a disciple of Confucius, has thus... perished both in body and spirit!
"Holy crap... that's it?"
In the distance, Zhang Yu had just found a relatively intact rock to sit on.
He was preparing to observe and learn how the two "masters" crushed the newbies, but in the blink of an eye, Zilu was gone.
He knew Donghua and Maitreya were strong, but he didn't expect them to be this strong!
Despite being Golden Immortal, Zilu was like a toddler who had just learned to walk in front of them, unable to withstand even three moves against two fully armed martial arts Grandmaster.
What's so strange about that?
The system's voice rang out at the opportune moment, still carrying that faint disdain that said, "You've never seen anything like this before."
"Donghua governs killing and conquest, while Maitreya controls Space-Time Causality."
At their peak, weren't these two beings so powerful that even a stomp of their feet could shake the entire Primordial World?
Zilu was merely a "former" Daluo Cultivation who went astray and barely regained his Golden Immortal cultivation by stealing the Heavenly Dao.
If Donghua and Maitreya couldn't defeat him in three moves at the same power level, they might as well just find a block of tofu and smash their heads against it."
Zhang Yu was momentarily speechless, but he had nothing to say.
The facts are clear: Zilu was indeed completely outmatched.
Stop spacing out!
The system's tone suddenly became urgent:
"Zilu is dead. The part of the Heavenly Dao Origin that he refined and corrupted is rapidly dissipating and returning to the world, along with the pollution he left behind."
You must immediately absorb and refine these scattered Heavenly Dao Origin, along with the pure Heavenly Dao Origin that you previously refined belonging to Tiantian!
Then, take this opportunity to completely refine this world and absorb it into your Sea of Consciousness.
"Income Sea of Consciousness?"
Inner World?"
Zhang Yu was taken aback; this concept was still somewhat unfamiliar to him.
"Yes, the Inner World..."
The system provides rapid explanations, speaking at a rapid-fire pace:
"You have already refined the original Heavenly Dao Will of this world. If you further absorb and purify the scattered Origin of Zilu, it will be equivalent to completely controlling the Heavenly Dao Authority and Core Principles of this world."
At that time, you will be the only and highest 'Heavenly Dao' in this world.
Once you have absolute control over this realm, you can refine and compress this entire Minor World, ultimately absorbing it into your own Sea of Consciousness, transforming it into your own Grotto-Heaven World, your Inner World.
"This is one of the core Cultivation Path of the Rebellious Dao Seed."
Continuously seek out and refine those shattered Three Realms Fragment World, absorbing them into your own Inner World to strengthen your Origin and perfect your Great Dao.
The ultimate goal is to collect enough fragments of the Three Realms, merge them into one, and attempt to... restore the glory of the Primordial World Three Realms.
Or, at the very least, create your own 'new world' that is not bound by the existing rules of the Myriad Heavens and Worlds.
There's no time to explain, get started!
"With Zilu's death, Confucianism Kong Qiu, must have sensed it; he may have already pinpointed this location."
The system's explanation was like a sudden awakening, allowing Zhang Yu to instantly understand the true meaning of the "Rebellious Dao Seed" and the direction of his cultivation.
It turns out that he not only wanted to become stronger, but also to shoulder the mission of repairing and even rebuilding the "Three Realms".
