On the Loess Plateau, All Laws resonate.

Yu Changqing was as magnificent as the sun and moon, and the Chaos Aura beneath his feet formed a turbulent river that flowed to the sea.

In the sky, vast stretches of Dao Rhythm descended, accompanied by terrifying Thunder Fire.

His eyes were deep and calm as he looked at Jiang Ping.

Drops of scarlet blood dripped from his face, hitting the ground with a thud and forming huge craters.

With Yu Changqing's Dao practice, he could have quickly stopped the injury, but he didn't.

It seemed to be a warning, as if a formidable opponent lay ahead, or perhaps it was reliving the pain of its first injury.

A strong wind rises, and a chilling atmosphere stirs up the yellow sand that fills the sky.

In a flash, Yu Changqing moved.

He was like the Pangu Heaven Opening and Earth Creation, draped in the dazzling Primordial Radiance, his scorching aura burning away the Void, turning the boundless yellow sand into ashes on a large scale.

Yu Changqing clenched his right fist, its surface Light Halo, shifting between devouring and evolving all things, the Fist Light instantly becoming extremely dazzling.

A deafening roar erupted, and the sky seemed to be torn apart piece by piece, dripping with countless eerie lights as if bleeding.

This scene was extremely terrifying. This Chaos Dao Monarch was attacking at full power, even stronger than the previous King-level weapon. The heavens and earth seemed to be Incompleteness, as if they could not withstand his power.

Even so, Yu Changqing was severely hampered when facing his opponent and struggled a lot.

He was certain that his punch would ignite an explosion in all directions, and no one in the Same Realm could escape it.

But the man remained calm and collected, watching as boundless power descended upon Jiang Ping. By the time he focused his attention, the target had already vanished from sight.

Alarm bells rang in Yu Changqing's mind, and he immediately sensed the approaching danger.

"The Chaos Heaven Opening!"

He roared involuntarily, his whole body invigorated, a powerful force of time spreading in all directions, and the Void Dao Method layered upon layer.

However, with a loud bang, Yu Changqing looked down and saw strands of black hair falling down.

In the distance, Jiang Ping stood tall and imposing, a tuft of hair appearing in his hand.

Initial Land.

The crowd was stunned into silence at the sight; the entire medicinal field was eerily quiet, so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

The various Fate Child were completely stunned, their emotions fluctuating wildly.

Zhou Huang, Xu Yuan, and the others finally realized that Yu Changqing had been defeated and was no match for the powerful Monarch.

"The righteous path is waning while the demonic path is flourishing? Even Yu Changqing is no match for them!!"

The Monarch, who had just been brutally beaten, were devastated and looked utterly miserable.

They had hoped that Yu Changqing would teach Jiang Ping a lesson, but to their surprise, the man remained as domineering as ever, terrifyingly so.

The Qingling Monster Wang Ping stared at the man, unable to recover for a long time, while Wang Sheng beside him was extremely excited:

"They've truly pulled off a counterattack! If we can win him over, we'll never lack resources."

Qian Sheng, the Fate Child, nodded on the throne before him and said, "Yes, he is now qualified to speak fairly with us. A 50/50 split is acceptable."

At this moment, even Ling Qinghe couldn't sit still any longer and couldn't help but send a telepathic message to Lei Fang:

"If you were to speak, would he be willing to cooperate with us?"

Lei Fang's expression was complicated as he sighed, "I don't think there's much hope."

If this person had humbled himself back then, even if they didn't cooperate, there would still have been a friendship between them.

Now...

Ling Qinghe added, "You should know that he is only at the initial stage, while our Fate Child is also breaking through, and is said to have already shown signs of Mythic Transformation."

"At this stage, High-Rank Dao Monarch like the Dao Alliance Leader are the key to victory in the Resource competition."

Lei Fang silent.

Although Ling Qinghe wanted to win over Jiang Ping, her words were full of praise for the strength of her own side's Fate Child.

Jiang Ping himself is also a strong-willed person.

He doesn't think the two sides can sit down and have a proper discussion; it's highly likely that things will end badly.

Loess Plateau.

Yu Changqing stared blankly at the strands of hair on the ground.

If the first injury caught him off guard, this time he finally learned his lesson.

Yu Changqing raised his eyes and said:

"You have combined the meanings of two supreme scriptures and forged a new law."

Across from him, Jiang Ping smiled and asked, "Do you want to learn?"

Yu Changqing felt a pang of sadness, and hesitated to speak.

His life was incredibly brilliant, and he elevated the ancestral laws to a new level, becoming the first Chaos Dao Monarch of his time.

It is said that the student surpasses the teacher, and the world says that he is better than his ancestors. However, the successor in front of us is even more outstanding. In his hands, the Yu Family Method is merely the foundation of a stronger chapter, not the main scripture.

This battle...

With a loud bang, Yu Changqing attacked again.

Clearly, he was unwilling to accept defeat.

As Jiang Ping wished, he treaded the mysterious path of time, stepping like a god, causing a lotus flower to bloom in the Void, and ripples of Time and Space to spread wildly.

Yu Changqing, who was about to attack, froze. His movements were somewhat clumsy due to the time barrier.

With a thud, he was punched in the left shoulder, and blood stained his white clothes.

"Years!!"

Yu Changqing used the Heaven and Earth Power to disrupt this world with the long river of time, hoping to disrupt his opponent's time manipulation techniques.

He has seen initial success and is now able to engage in close combat with Jiang Ping.

In an instant, wondrous sights filled the Loess Plateau, and the Dao Rhythm poured down like a torrential downpour, turning the world upside down in a flash.

However, Yu Changqing was soon taken aback and exclaimed in surprise, "You're at the Same Realm as me!!"

This shocked him even more than Jiang Ping's new casting method.

How many years has this newcomer been cultivating?

Yu Changqing's words clearly reached the Initial Land, and more than a hundred geniuses were petrified on the spot, like wooden sculptures or clay figures, completely lost in thought.

Years Female Monarch Yu Xi took a deep breath, her beautiful eyes wide like copper bells, while her silly younger brother beside her was already sweating profusely with fear.

After a moment, the Female Monarch seemed to realize something and hurriedly turned her head. When she confirmed that her Old Ancestor was calm, she breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that he might be further agitated.

After all, the Old Ancestor had spent some time with Jiang Ping, but at that time the Old Ancestor was even more aloof than her and had never communicated with him, so no feelings developed between them.

"He's also a second-level Monarch..."

"Fate Child," Lin Yun murmured, her heart suddenly churning with regret.

Such a prodigy, clearly far more dazzling than Yu Changqing, yet she was unable to fight alongside him.

"The second level of the Monarch!!"

The Fate Child from the Dao Alliance were both drenched in sweat, and some even sighed.

If they had chosen Yu Changqing instead of Jiang Ping back then, I can't even imagine what would have happened!

Rumble!

The battle on the Loess Plateau continues.

Yu Changqing swallowed the sun and captured the stars, and the countless stars in the sky transformed into Dao Patterns, propelling him to another peak. Even a casual strike was like the collapse of Mountains and Seas, with terrifying power.

However, the opponent's attacks became even more ferocious. With each punch, it was as if the dome had collapsed, and a terrifying shockwave exploded, creating a thunderous roar.

The devil is always one step ahead of the saint. Yu Changqing had many fist marks on his body, which were difficult to repair even with the Chaos Light.

Sulfuric acid!

A Black Sword shattered the clouds and pierced through the heavens and earth.

Jiang Ping froze instantly, thinking he had encountered something he didn't want to see, and almost turned around and left.

Fortunately, this is a replica, Yu Changqing's Dao soldier, with Primordial Radiance flowing around it.

However, this weapon is terrifying enough; it's essentially a clone of Yu Changqing.

Jiang Ping was envious. He had also thought about creating his own unique artifact, but unfortunately, he didn't have enough materials. The requirements for making the weapon bear the Chaos Dao Patterns were too high.

One man and one sword fight against the great demon king. Seeing Jiang Ping retreat, Yu Changqing is invigorated, as if he sees the dawn of victory.

Jiang Ping remained calm, a wisp of mysterious light emanating from his fingertips.

In an instant, the chaotic Time and Space here was frozen in time and space and then rearranged.

Yu Changqing's expression instantly turned serious; he couldn't understand that mysterious aura at all.

When he tried to use the power of time to disrupt the flow of time, he found that he could not do it. The world was exceptionally stable, and only the figure of that person gradually became ethereal.

With a loud bang, Yu Changqing was sent flying backward, his chest caved in by a palm strike. His hair was disheveled, and blood kept seeping from the corner of his mouth.

"We lost."

Yu Changqing murmured, his voice tinged with a sense of tragic grandeur.

The Initial Land, and all the powerful forces were in an uproar.

Suddenly, a change occurred; the setting sun Setting Sun like blood, and everything explodes violently.

Jiang Ping sensed an impending danger and vanished from the spot.

However, the change came swiftly and violently. A Heavenly Light, like Mountains and Seas, crashed down, and a violent wave overturned Yu Changqing, who was not far away.

Jiang Ping couldn't avoid it either, and his sleeve was torn.

His expression darkened slightly as he charged towards the direction where the Heavenly Light was pouring in.

Rumble!

As the Setting Sun faded and the clouds dispersed, a majestic figure stood tall and imposing, as if a god had descended.

"Alliance Leader!!"

The Dao Alliance's prodigies in the Grade-A Medicinal Field instantly erupted in excitement.

Their king has arrived!

"This person is currently breaking through the Heavenly Pass; has their appearance at this moment meant they have already succeeded?"

Ling Qinghe's expression was extremely solemn.

There's always someone better. Everyone says Jiang Ping Jiang Ping, but the one in the Dao Alliance is no less so; he's also a ruthless and cold-blooded Monarch.

The Xuanhuang clouds parted, and the entire Loess Plateau was filled with the power of Order, with many strange phenomena appearing, and the violent Rules roaring like a giant dragon.

The young man in the Daoist robe looked particularly aloof and unapproachable, almost as if it were etched into his very bones.

Dao Alliance Leader Xie Lingxu!

The Fate Child to touch upon the signs of the Dao Ancestor is enough to demonstrate his exceptional talent.

He stood high above the heavens, looking down at Jiang Ping as he charged in, his face expressionless.

Xie Lingxu gently raised his hand, and everything under the sun underwent a dramatic change, with the power of Order surging wildly.

A massive beam of light, larger than a giant mountain, descended, forming an all-encompassing network of Daoist threads, aiming to lock Jiang Ping into the cage of the Great Dao.

Jiang Ping's eyes were cold. This man was even better at putting on an act than Yu Changqing. How dare he sit upright in front of him?

He raised his fist to the sky, and a chaotic ray of light pierced the azure sky. The Power of Time stood still in one place, and the Dharma Net suddenly stopped.

"Um?"

Xie Lingxu raised his eyes, forcefully pressed down with his large hand, unleashing a power that shook the heavens and the earth, and the laws of Order surged like a boiling sea.

With a loud bang, he actually managed to break free from the flow of time and continued to press down.

Even Jiang Ping would find it difficult to contend with High-Rank Dao Monarch.

Many prodigies were worried, as the Chaos Devil Lord, who had just defeated Yu Changqing, had encountered a formidable enemy and his offensive was somewhat weakened.

"That's only natural. That's Xie Lingxu, the Unrivaled monarch who underwent Mythic Transformation."

Zhou Huang said in a deep voice.

If he couldn't even defeat Xie Lingxu, that would be a joke.

Knock knock!

The Great Dao flowed gently, and even more exquisite Mysteries of Time surged from Jiang Ping's body. Light rain poured down, and the giant hand finally stopped at this moment.

Jiang Ping swung his fist in response, causing all things to rotate, filling the air with Chaos Aura, and the Primordial Radiance soared into the sky.

In an instant, this area descended into a state of violent chaos, with beams of light shooting out and Order violently surging and fluctuating wildly.

The surging airwaves tore through space and rippled across the Initial Land, nearly injuring all the geniuses present.

Fortunately, the new royal artifact appeared and protected everyone, but it itself was impacted and developed several cracks.

This also shows that the intensity of this collision was even greater than the previous battle.

On the Loess Plateau, Xie Lingxu still sits cross-legged beyond the heavens, untouched by worldly dust.

However, he was somewhat dazed at the moment, looking down at the Blood Blossom on his fingertips, seemingly unable to believe that he was actually injured.

Jiang Ping strode forward, his Qi Mechanism growing stronger and stronger, causing all things to change.

When he exhaled, it was like the wrath of the heavens; vast storms roared like celestial dragons, enough to dry up the entire North Sea.

Yu Changqing, far away in the sky, was tense all over. He looked at the figure in green and his heart was shaken.

"I failed to force you to use your full strength."

He murmured, lost in thought, unable to recover from the shock.

Xie Lingxu in the sky raised his eyes, also sensing something, and frowned slightly:

"You are indeed stunning. If you wish, you may follow me... bang!"

Before he finished speaking, Jiang Ping descended like frost from the heavens. His Fist Light was vast and powerful, tearing through layers of Void with its force, even a king-level weapon could not withstand it.

"Where exactly is this kid's limit?"

Initial Land, the ancient cauldron protecting everyone cried out in surprise.

Zhou Huang had just thought Jiang Ping would lose, was also speechless, as she discovered that Jiang Ping had become even stronger.

Plateau.

Jiang Ping's fist stirred up the Order of the heavens, its radiance more magnificent than Mountains and Seas.

He shoved Xie Lingxu aside, his handsome features exuding arrogance, and glared at him. "What are you barking about, you dog? Do you even have the right to point fingers at me?"

Xie Lingxu's gaze was chilling. He spread his right hand, and a terrifying Dao Rhythm shook the world. The power of Order manifested a vast world.

It was a boundless land, terrifyingly large, filled with Dao Rhythm, its Rules as vast and deep as an abyss.

Moreover, it seems to be constantly evolving, reflecting the ultimate principles of heaven and earth, and continuously expanding.

"The Dao Ancestor forged heaven and earth!"

Ling Qinghe was almost speechless.

The Ancestor of the Carrying the Dao is said to be able to reshape heaven and earth. This kind of being Carrying the Dao within its body, evolving a world of Rules within itself, becoming the Heavenly Dao itself, able to Palm Control the power of the world, and possessing all sorts of incredible abilities.

In some ways, the Dao Ancestor system is similar to the Path to Godhood in ancient times. However, it has absorbed the essence of the ancient path and does not actually evolve the world, but rather aims to control this all-encompassing power.

Upon reaching this realm, one can transcend the Xuanhuang World, no longer needing the power radiated from their homeland, and gradually grasp the ultimate truth of the universe.

Xuanhuang Xie Lingxu before them possessed a trace of the Dao Ancestor's power, making him a figure of Gu Shuo throughout history.

"What do you have to fight back with?!"

Yu Shen couldn't help but roar, seeing a glimmer of hope for the Devil Lord's defeat.

A loud explosion resounded.

It was as if a world had collapsed; the terrifying force shook the entire continent where the plateau was located.

At that moment, billions of living beings prostrated themselves, filled with fear, their faces pale.

Jiang Ping was the first to bear the brunt of the pressure, standing at the center of the world, so the pressure he faced was unimaginable.

"The Dao Ancestor's abilities are beyond the comprehension of gods and ghosts; it's as if the Heavenly Dao itself is at work."

One by one, the Fate Child couldn't help but shout, their eyes burning with fervor—that was the path they were pursuing!

Jiang Ping remained calm. He clearly recognized that his opponent's Mythic Transformation was not strong enough, and he could contend with him.

However...

Since it's Heavenly Dao's Way that's taking the hits, then he should also hire a substitute.

As the black and white energies surged, his figure shifted, becoming a solitary figure shrouded in mist, facing the overwhelming power of the world.

Dao Self opened my eyes, the mist dissipated slightly, revealing a face as perfect as that of an immortal.

Its five fingers extended from its long sleeves, shattering the mist, and it swung its fist skyward, unleashing the primordial light, revealing the power of the Third Level realm to the world.

Yu Changqing was somewhat dazed; his suspicions had been confirmed—that person was indeed on the Third Level of the Monarch.

The vast sky swayed.

The power of my Dao Self Body continued to rise, and my Qi Mechanism surpassed the Third Level in the blink of an eye.

Yu Changqing's pupils shrank sharply. "Mid-level?"

At this moment, all was silent, and everyone held their breath.

That Rules heaven and earth pressed down, causing turmoil in all directions.

Dao-Self Body always shrouded in mystery, only the power within me can awe the world.

That was a chaotic power far exceeding that of Yu Changqing.

With a deafening boom, the two collided, leaving only dazzling light that even a king's weapon could not fully comprehend.

It was like a sea of stars colliding, exploding across the sky and earth, and billions of golden clouds pouring down.

The Loess Plateau seems to have been reshaped, with massive hills breaking through the ground and bright red soil covering the entire plateau.

This is a true cataclysmic upheaval, a shattered world.

People's five senses seemed to be deprived, and it took a long time for them to return.

Who won and who lost?

Some people opened their eyes and immediately looked at the high-altitude battlefield, then became lost in thought.

The plateau returned to silence, the sky was clear and the air was fresh, only that blue robe remained, its charm unchanged.

There was a brief moment of deathly silence, then everyone erupted in excitement.

Tang Sheng, his blood boiling, roared with all his might:

Who claims to be invincible?!
