The struggle for the Dao Origin
The God King Wuxiang opened the Heavenly Book, and his aura rose steadily.
In the midst of the fierce battle, the Demon Lord roared, "Wuxiang, do you know what you're doing?"
"Of course I know that my innate foundation is inferior to that of my two fellow Daoists, and I have no hope of becoming God Lord. However, I am here to Oversight the Heaven and Earth on behalf of my Father God. My Father God has granted me protection at the Final End, allowing me to Reincarnation." The God King Wuxiang smiled, but his movements were not slow at all. He formed hand Hand Seal, and several illusory images of Rule Divine Artifact flew out from the Heavenly Book, carrying boundless power as they directly attacked the Creation God King.
Although the God King Wuxiang is slightly inferior to the Creation God King, both are at the Half-Step God Lord level, and their strength is not weak. Even the Creation would not dare to underestimate them.
His battle against the Old God Xuangen was already dwarfed, and now, with Wuxiang attacking him, the force that had been used by him and the Demon Lord to besiege Xuangen immediately revealed its weakness.
Xuangen a step forward, breaking through the layers of Divine Ability Restrictive Seal and stepping out of the encirclement.
The Demon Lord gave chase, but the Demon Lord flicked his sleeve, causing towering waves to surge within his Origin Dao Sea, shattering the Demon Lord Lord's Divine Ability.
"Xuangen Daoist Friend, please wait. Now is not the time for you to descend into the mortal realm. If you Lower Realm, the Destruction of this Heaven and Earth Great Dao will be accelerated." Great Simplicity manipulated the power of the Heaven and Earth Stele to suppress Xuangen.
"If it were back then, I might have been wary of you, but now, you are nothing but a remnant soul, your True Spirit is gone, how much power can you possibly wield from the Heaven and Earth Stele? Besides, do you even dare to?" Xuangen struck out with a palm.
The suppressive power of the Heaven and Earth Stele was actually shattered by a single blow.
Great Simplicity's expression was solemn. He naturally knew the truth of what Xuangen said. The Heaven and Earth Stele stood in the Dao Sea Xuangen accordance with the Rules, and it suppressed Xuan Geng's main body, or rather, it suppressed the Decay Dao that was faintly emanating from Xuangen's main body. Otherwise, affected by it, this Heaven and Earth would have reached its Final End much faster.
Now that he has diverted some of his power to suppress Gu Yuanqing and stop the expansion of the North Spring Realm, it is difficult for him to stop Xuangen's Avatar.
However, he was unwilling to let it leave so easily. Xuangen's birth, even if it was just Avatar, would still affect this world.
For him, each Reincarnation of Heaven and Earth was a drain on his Spirituality. Only when the Heaven and Earth Great Dao operated normally could he use the power of all the spirits in the world to nurture his own Spirituality.
Although he resides within the Heaven and Earth Stele, the Heaven and Earth Stele is the Heaven and Earth Stele, and he is himself.
If the nourishment gained in the Reincarnation is insufficient to withstand the decay during the destruction of the world, then utter annihilation awaits him.
So he made his move again, drawing upon the power of the Divine Artifact and gathering the might of the Dao Sea, transforming it into a giant monument that headed towards Xuangen Town.
Xuangen shook his head, pointed his finger, and a bright light appeared, causing the entire Void to collapse.
The illusory image of the Heaven and Earth Stele seemed to dissipate, and countless primordial forces of the Dao Sea scattered into water and fell into the Dao Sea.
At the same time, he took a step forward, intending to leave the Origin Dao Sea. He had no intention of fighting Great Simplicity head-on. Great Simplicity was in harmony with the Heaven and Heaven and Earth Stele, so even his true self would Avatar it difficult to truly suppress and kill him, let alone his clone.
But at that moment, he suddenly felt the surrounding Void solidify, and when he turned around, he saw a tall, phantom tower pressing down.
It is the power of the Heaven-Connecting Tower!
The Space-Time Power can affect even God Lord like him.
"Good!"
The eyes of the Creation God King and the Demon Lord standing to the side lit up.
Xuangen's eyes flickered again. He hadn't expected that the Heaven-Measuring God King could borrow the power of the Heaven-Connecting Tower in such a short time. Although this power was not strong enough, it was already a threat to him with the power of the Divine Artifact.
He made his move again, slashing through the Void, and a Crescent beam of light shot into the sky, forcefully shattering the oppressive Heaven-Connecting Tower.
He then looked at the location where the Heaven-Connecting Tower stood. He had originally intended to go Lower Realm first, but seeing the changes, he changed his mind.
"I underestimated this person. It seems I can't let you live, otherwise, you might become the next Great Simplicity. Although it wouldn't be a major problem, you would still be annoying!"
With a thought in mind, he turned and headed back towards the Heaven-Connecting Tower.
"Father God, your opponents are us!" The Demon Lord laughed and attacked again.
The Creation God King broke free from the God King Wuxiang and joined the attack.
At this moment Heaven-Measuring God King should have just gained Heaven-Connecting Tower. Xuangen must not be allowed to attack him, otherwise, with the Heaven-Connecting Tower in turmoil, the Heaven-Measuring God King will be in grave danger!
The God King Wuxiang was not idle either, and continued to unleash the Divine Ability of the Creation Heavenly Book to attack the Creation God King.
Great Simplicity also manipulated the Heaven and Earth Stele to participate in the battle.
The Heaven-Measuring God King had only just grasped a small amount of power and could not use it at will, but he could occasionally gather power and unleash great Divine Ability.
A chaotic battle erupted in the Dao Origin Sea, four against two, each of them at the level of Half-Step God Lord, their Divine Ability ever-changing.
Although the Old God Xuangen was Avatar, with the assistance of the God King Wuxiang, he was still not at a disadvantage, but it would be difficult for him to break through.
In particular, the power of the Heaven-Connecting Tower is extremely mysterious. Although it is difficult to harm Xuangen, it can imprison Space-Time. Even if Xuangen breaks free in just a moment, that moment is enough for the Demon Lord and the Creation God King to stop Xuangen again.
Xuangen remained completely calm, and no matter how the Demon Lord Power the Creation God King and the Demon Lord Myriad Transformations, they could not reach him.
In comparison, the God King Wuxiang appeared somewhat disheveled. His strength was slightly higher than that of the Demon Lord when he had recovered to his full strength, but it was still very limited. He was interfered with and suppressed by the power of the Divine Artifact, and suffered repeated injuries under the Divine Ability of the Demon Lord and the Creation God King.
The expressions of the Creation God King and the Demon Lord remained solemn. Even though they knew that their father god's strength was boundless, they still hadn't expected the gap to be so large before they arrived here.
It should be noted that Xuangen is currently only Avatar; his true self is asleep under the suppression of the Supreme Divine Artifact.
A moment later, Xuangen seemed to sense some changes in the Lower Realm. A hint of impatience flashed in his eyes as he looked at Great Simplicity Heaven and Earth Stele and said, "In the Lower Realm, the Great Dao River is in turmoil. Clearly, someone is trying to seize the foundation of this world. You're distracted by fighting me here; it seems you're not knowing what's important!"
Upon hearing this, the Creation God King and the Demon Lord finally understood what had happened. They did not possess the strength of Xuangen, nor did they have the ability of Great Simplicity to still know about the turbulence of the Great Dao of the Myriad Realms through the Heaven and Earth Stele during battle. They only vaguely sensed something was wrong from the previous Motion and Stillness of Great Simplicity and the Demon Lord.
As the two looked at each other, they immediately thought of one person: Gu Yuanqing!
"These are none of your concern, Daoist Friend Xuangen. Daoist Friend only need to remain asleep, Great Simplicity will have a way to resolve all these changes. Since Daoist Friend are a person of the old world, you should not interfere in this matter." Great Simplicity said calmly, and once again used the power of the Heaven and Earth Stele to suppress it.
The power of the Heaven and Earth Stele may not seem as profound as that of the Heaven-Connecting Tower, but it is incredibly substantial, and even Xuangen dares not underestimate it.
Don't be fooled by the fact that he seems to casually parry and deflect every attack. This level of combat is unlike that of ordinary Cultivator. Every strike is a clash of the Great Dao. What appears to be a simple contact is actually a fusion of countless variations, each carrying its own understanding and control of the Great Dao.
After a while, Xuangen still couldn't get close to the Heaven-Connecting Tower, and the Motion and Stillness in the Lower Realm seemed rather strange.
It's clear that Great Simplicity's obstruction was ineffective, or perhaps they were using a feigned effort to cover up their true intentions while secretly pursuing their own agenda.
If left unchecked, the other side could undermine the foundation of this world, severely impacting his future plans.
This world is also the foundation of his Achieving the Dao, because his origin is in harmony with the world. In each Reincarnation of reincarnation, he scatters seeds, shares in Decay Dao, and seeks the opportunity for transcendence within it.
If even this world is lost, how can one talk about attaining enlightenment and transcending Achieving the Dao limitations?
He frowned slightly and said indifferently, "Forget it, there's no point in arguing with a mere remnant spirit like you. I originally intended to give you more time, but since that's the case, I won't hold back anymore. It's all your own fault."
As soon as he finished speaking, he formed a Hand Seal, then flicked his sleeve, and Gale swept through, causing the entire Dao Sea to violently tremble.
The Demon Lord and the Creation God King felt their hearts pound with fear, alarm bells blaring. They quickly enveloped themselves in the Rule Divine Artifact Power and retreated swiftly.
Their protective divine light vanished rapidly, and even the illusory image suppressed by the Heaven and Earth Stele shattered in an instant.
At the same time, Xuangen's aura rapidly increased, and his oppressive power grew stronger and stronger.
Stimulated by his aura, the three Supreme Divine Artifact seemed to awaken one after another, each radiating divine light.
"Xuangen, you've crossed the line. Are you trying to fight to the death?" Great Simplicity's expression also sharpened. Divine Mark began to appear on his brow, and the Heaven and Earth Stele shone even brighter, as if it were about to be fully revived.
Clearly, Xuangen's actions crossed his bottom line.
Xuangen looked at Great Simplicity, and their eyes met.
The aura of the God Lord and the aura of the Supreme Divine Artifact began to clash and confront each other. At this moment, it was as if the Demon Lord and the Creation God King had detached themselves from the main body of the battle.
The God King Wuxiang also stepped aside.
The Heaven and Earth Stele has been revived, and its power is suppressing them greatly. At this moment, it seems that apart from their own natal Divine Artifact, all other powers of the Great Dao are beginning to break free from their control.
At this moment Origin Dao Sea was filled with a suffocating atmosphere.
It seemed as if an indescribable clash was about to erupt at any moment, and even the Creation God King was filled with horror and solemnity.
He thought he was already very close to the Father God. After all, he combined the ways of Immortal Path and Divine Path, and had mastered them. If he were not afraid of the Father God, he believed he might have already become the God Lord.
But now, I truly understand that the difference between Half-Step God Lord and God Lord is as vast as Heavenly Abyss.
A fiery light shone in the Demon Lord's eyes; this was the power of God Lord, the ultimate power he sought!
At that moment, both Great Simplicity and Xuangen suddenly turned their heads to look down at the Lower Realm.
"Great Simplicity, you're just like you were back then, truly a piece of trash!" Xuangen's expression darkened, and he took a step forward, heading directly towards the Fa Yuan Realm.
This time, Great Simplicity did not stop her.
The Demon Lord and the Creation God King wanted to make a move, but suddenly two giant palms condensed in their Origin Dao Sea and slammed towards them. The two tried their best to defend themselves but were still knocked back and sent flying.
Xuangen had vanished.
Great Simplicity looked at the two Ancient God and shouted, "This is your best chance!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he transformed into a streak of light and descended to the Lower Realm.
The Demon Lord and the Creation God King exchanged a glance. The Creation God King headed towards the Chaos Cauldron, while the Demon Lord sank into the Origin Dao Sea.
The expression of the God King Wuxiang changed slightly, and he attacked the Creation God King. However, at this moment, a Nine-Story Pagoda descended, imprisoning him on the spot. After he used the Heavenly Book Divine Ability to break the spell, the Creation God King had already fallen into the cauldron.
Two flowers bloom, each representing a different branch, in the Tianfang Domain a moment ago.
The colossal monument seemed to press down on the North Spring Realm, as if the entire Heaven and Earth was pressing down on it.
Gu Yuanqing remained calm, extending his hand. The power of North Spring converged into a giant palm, which he then slapped towards the sky.
Boom!
The Void shattered, all paths vanished, as if all matter had been reduced to Chaos in the clash between the two.
At this moment, everyone in the entire Tianfang Domain, and even in the surrounding several Boundary Domain, felt as if they had suddenly lost all sense of touch, and even their consciousness had stopped.
Or rather, it was as if Space-Time and space around them had stopped flowing, and everything had become still.
When Jiang Yunchuan noticed the Motion and Stillness, he used the Way of Space to get closer and take a look. However, he quickly fled because he could clearly feel the shattering of the Great Dao around him, and even the Way of Space itself was distorted.
This power was beyond his comprehension, beyond description. He felt as if he were a lone sail on a raging sea, about to be shattered at any moment.
However, what his eyes saw was a completely different scene. Only the giant monument that filled his entire field of vision and the palm collided together. All the power was gathered in that area of only a few hundred miles, without the slightest leakage, as if everything he sensed was an illusion.
Great Simplicity's gaze turned serious; Gu Yuanqing's strength was even greater than he had estimated.
This was almost the strongest person he had ever seen in countless Reincarnation, apart from Xuangen.
Gu Yuanqing said calmly, "Daoist Friend Great Simplicity, you should be careful, otherwise, the Fa Yuan Realm may not be able to withstand it."
Great Simplicity said, "Since Daoist Friend has such profound cultivation, why bother stealing this world? Aren't you afraid of violating the laws of Heaven and Karma entanglements?"
Gu Yuanqing laughed and said, "Daoist Friend, didn't you want me to World Origin Integration? Isn't this actually another way? My world was born with boundless vitality, while this great world is Decay Dao. Even with the power of Reincarnation, how long can it prolong its existence? I suppose the time of each Reincarnation is getting shorter and shorter, isn't it?"
If that's the case, then let us merge with my world, so that the beings of this world will have a place to originate."
Great Simplicity said calmly, "Daoist Friend, there's no need for you to waste your breath."
Gu Yuanqing chuckled, "It's alright, Daoist Friend Great Simplicity still has time to consider. If you change your mind, my North Spring Heavenly Realm might be able to reserve a place for Daoist Friend. To be honest, the realm is still lacking a few items to suppress the fortune of Heaven and Earth; perhaps the Heaven and Earth Stele would be quite suitable."
The two fought primarily in the Tianfang Domain, but the battle wasn't confined to this location alone.
The spread of the Great Dao of the North Spring Realm into the Fa Yuan Realm was halted by the descent of the Heaven and Earth Stele, but it was rapidly expanding in other Boundary Domain.
The power of the North Spring Realm continuously invades each and Small World, eroding the Great Dao of these worlds and seizing the source of the Great Dao River.
However, the expansion at this time was obviously not as smooth as before, and one after another, the illusory images of the Heaven and Earth Stele descended into many worlds to suppress the fortune of this world.
Gu Yuanqing's avatar also descended into these worlds, clashing with the Heaven and Heaven and Earth Stele at the source of the Great Dao River!
