"Yaoguang Holy Land may be a superpower in the Eastern Wasteland, but our Yin-Yang Sect is no pushover either. Do you really intend to fight us to the bitter end?"
The Yin-Yang Sect's Vice Hierarch's eyelids twitched violently, shock and anger seething within him.
He wished he could slap this outrageously demanding supreme elder of Yaoguang to death on the spot.
But the man's strength far surpassed that of an ordinary Supreme Elder. His cultivation was no lower than the Vice Hierarch's own, putting him on par with a mighty powerhouse.
Even he could not help feeling wary.
Yet when he saw this supreme elder of Yaoguang's self-righteous, utterly arrogant bearing,
This Vice Hierarch's face darkened again, and he gritted his teeth. That fellow Li Daoqing, benevolent?
In less than half a month, their Yin-Yang Sect's hidden bases in the Eastern Wasteland had been uprooted one after another. At least a thousand disciples had been mercilessly slaughtered by Yaoguang Holy Land.
Leaving aside those in the Four Extremes Secret Realm and below, more than twenty or thirty renowned experts at the Dragon Transformation Secret Realm or above had perished, along with a figure on the level of a Supreme Elder.
The immortal seedlings they had painstakingly gathered, but had not yet managed to send to the Central Plains, had all been handed to Yaoguang Holy Land for nothing.
"A fight to the death? Is that your answer? I'll return and report to the Holy Lord immediately!"
Li Xuan sneered and strode away.
What a joke. The Yin-Yang Sect had bullied his junior brother like this.
Did they really think his senior brothers and elders did not exist?
"You... you've gone too far!" The Yin-Yang Sect's Vice Hierarch nearly spat blood.
He could see it now. Yaoguang Holy Land truly had no intention of letting the matter rest easily.
But he could not decide whether they should hold out against Yaoguang Holy Land to the bitter end. Helpless, he could only rush back to the Central Plains.
He brought out the Old Hierarch, who had been in seclusion for a long time, had ignored worldly affairs for years, and had entrusted every matter, great and small, to him, the Vice Hierarch.
"Hmph! You accomplish nothing and ruin everything..."
Across the boundless earth, an ancient city towered ahead.
Viewed from afar, auspicious vapors rose and myriad rays of colored light shone, making it look incomparably sacred and peaceful.
This was the Yin-Yang Sect's pure land. Many great sects and Immortal Divine Dynasties in the Central Plains did the same, building cities to nurture dragon qi. After more than two hundred thousand years, it had long since become a divine land.
The magnificent city walls stretched endlessly across the landscape like a black iron Great Wall, brimming with power. The ancient city stood imposing, as though it could pierce the clouds.
"Five million jin of source. Yaoguang Holy Land's appetite is rather too large!"
Inside the Yin-Yang Sect's great hall,
The Old Hierarch Wang Yangzhan's presence was as unfathomable as an abyss, making the Vice Hierarch tremble as cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
Looking at the Vice Hierarch he had personally chosen to take charge of the Yin-Yang Sect in the future, he sighed softly. "Forget it. I'll visit Yaoguang Holy Land myself and meet this Li Daoqing!"
"In another two months, our Yin-Yang Sect's triennial recruitment will begin. Oversee it yourself and see whether there are any promising seedlings. There must be no more trouble!"
The Old Hierarch spoke gravely.
The Ancient Sages had long foretold the coming of a golden age.
In recent years, the Central Plains had indeed produced many outstanding talents with extraordinary aptitude and peerless gifts. Among them were even exceedingly rare king physiques, such as the Yuhua king physique, the Hades physique, and the Twin Kings physique.
Even the heirs of the great sects, holy lands, and Desolate Ancient Families in the Eastern Wasteland were said to possess astonishing talent.
Their Yin-Yang Sect's Holy Sons and Holy Maidens, however, fell somewhat short.
Even the successor he had personally chosen, though no weaker than a mighty powerhouse, ultimately could not compare with those supreme Holy Lords.
It left him rather helpless and worried.
"Yes! I shall obey your decree, Sect Master!"
Boom-
In the blink of an eye,
another half month passed.
Within the unknown Chaos Immortal Soil,
an incomparably terrifying aura emanated from the Immortal Pool at the center of the massive Five-Colored Altar.
More than a million jin of source stones, piled high as mountains, had already been reduced entirely to powder.
As vast quantities of source qi were continuously devoured, Taiyi sat there in solemn majesty, his entire body radiating dazzling light like a fiercely blazing sun.
The aura around him grew ever stronger.
Hum- At that very moment, his Five Dao Palace Viscera shone.
They actually entered an inconceivable resonance with the Five-Colored Altar.
Boom... rumble...
The Five-Colored Altar suddenly rumbled, all its colors shining together.
Accompanied by a grand, mysterious sound of scripture chanting,
an immeasurable surge of innate power of the five elements rushed toward him the instant he formally broke through to the fifth of the five Dao Palace heavens.
Together with a mysterious, unfathomable power,
it poured into his body.
"This is... the innate power of the five elements?"
Taiyi was utterly stunned.
He had never expected the Five-Colored Altar to contain the innate power of the five elements as well.
But he also knew this opportunity could not be missed. Without hesitation, he used this power to continually temper the five great divine treasures within his body.
However-
something unexpected happened.
In an instant, the five great divine treasures within him shook violently and split apart.
"Argh..." His face turned pale, his body swayed, and he vomited great mouthfuls of blood.
He suffered an unprecedentedly grievous injury. His entire body became drenched in blood, his Five Dao Palace Viscera completely destroyed. He was on the verge of becoming a cripple.
"Aaaah!" In the next instant, not only his Five Dao Palace Viscera, but his entire fleshly body was forcibly shattered by that vast, terrifying power of the five elements.
He became a horrifying heap of flesh, blood, and broken bones.
The sight made one's scalp crawl.
Boom, boom...
The Five-Colored Altar shone.
Light blazed across the sky as an endless stream of unfathomable power surged forth.
Densely packed, intricately mysterious runes intertwined, forming an enormous Five-Colored Furnace that completely enveloped the heap of broken bones and flesh that seemed to have lost all signs of life.
Incomparably mysterious dao fire burned fiercely there, engulfing it completely, ceaselessly tempering and refining it...
And at that moment-
Taiyi did not know.
Far away in the unknown depths of the starry sky, within a mysterious ancient land,
an enormous, radiant mass of divine source floated up and down.
A majestic figure wreathed in chaos, with an utterly oppressive aura, seemed to sense something and opened his eyes...
Boom... The void abruptly exploded.
Unparalleled, terrifying killing intent surged out like a tide, only to be forcibly suppressed an instant later.
He looked toward Beidou, his icy gaze filled with bone-deep cold, as though it could freeze everything in existence. "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable? Is it you?"
Chapter 38: Reborn, Martial Dao Heavenly Eye
Boom... boom...
Within the Chaos Immortal Soil,
time continued to pass.
The Five-Colored Altar shone, its rumbling unceasing.
Runes filled the sky, soaring upward and flashing without pause.
The Immortal Pool, several zhang across, was completely enveloped by the vast Void Furnace, where mysterious dao fire burned continuously.
Taiyi's flesh and ruined bones were all burned to ashes. Only droplets of crystal-clear blood threaded with traces of gold remained.
They were actually unaffected by that strange dao fire and were not burned directly to ash.
They floated up and down within it.
Hum- After an unknown length of time,
an invisible, mighty power surged forth, accompanied by boundless vitality.
The great quantity of blood began to gather. A dazzling mass of flesh grew at a speed visible to the naked eye, forming a golden heart.
Like a blazing sun, it shone brilliantly.
It was impossible to look at directly.
Thump, thump... Incredibly,
the heart seemed alive, holding unimaginable power as it beat continuously.
Its beats were strong and powerful, and it radiated astonishing fluctuations of divine power.
Next came the lungs, liver, spleen, kidneys...
All his internal organs regenerated one after another at a speed visible to the naked eye, perfectly reconstructed.
Then came his flesh, bones, and the rest...
