Heaven-Seeing Great Sage
"Long time no see, Beiwu."
Yuyue greeted them, then glanced at the Kongji Mother Tree not far away. "That's the treasure I set my sights on first, you can't go back on your word." As soon as she finished speaking, Yuyue's Might erupted again, enveloping all the cultivators except Chen Beiwu.
Rumble!
Facing the overwhelming power of the Six Paths of Reincarnation Beast, the Kongming Ancestor's Law Power surged, causing him to retreat repeatedly, yet he was unable to stop his momentum.
"Order it for me!"
Kongming Ancestor raised his right hand, activating Profound Ability Bloodline's profound power. The vast and mighty True Form Law Power instantly gathered together and connected with the core Formation Arts Restriction of Heavenly Void Cave. In an instant, wind and clouds surged, Spirit Vigor vibrated and wailed, forming visible Void water waves that rippled wildly outward.
Wherever the water rippled, the physical bodies of the cultivators and Demon King of Heavenly Void Cave collapsed, turning into dust. Only those at the Spirit Transformation or above could barely survive.
"Hmm, you've got some skill."
Yuyue lowered her head and looked at the Kongming Ancestor.
Judging solely from their Dao Practice, the ultimate Demon Venerable belong to the same level.
However, as Protector of Jade Purity and Dao Beast Blood Descendant, her combat prowess far surpasses that of Demon Venerable of the same realm.
This supreme Demon Venerable was able to withstand a single, casually unleashed attack of his Might, and even with the help of the Creation Origin Formation's Restriction power, it could barely catch his eye.
"What, are you going to stop me?" Yuyue spoke calmly, her tone carrying an indescribable air of authority.
"This is This Seat cave abode, fellow Daoist, you have overstepped your bounds!" Kongming Ancestor's eyes narrowed, his aura not yielding.
Although he wanted to join the Immortal Alliance, he also understood one thing: value is not something that can be obtained by asking, but by fighting.
To put it bluntly, his decision to surrender to a higher, transcendent being was a wise one.
Conversely, if someone shows weakness when facing First Realm, then that person is truly weak.
Kongming Ancestor was well aware of the cruelty of the cultivation world and knew that the weak had no voice.
Therefore, even though he knew that the magnificent unicorn beast in front of him possessed extremely powerful Dao Practice, the most powerful he had ever seen in his life, he was still unwilling to back down an inch.
"Oh, your cave abode?" Yuyue smiled. "What nonsense are you talking about? This is clearly my territory now."
As soon as she finished speaking, the aura surging around Yuyue became even more powerful, making the vibrant Spirit Vigor of this world feel incredibly heavy.
Even with the help of his cave abode's grand formation, the Kongming Ancestor still felt an indescribable pressure.
"It seems you intend to have a fight, fellow Daoist."
To prevent the situation from spiraling out of control, the Kongming Ancestor deliberately Resolve Test the conflict as a battle of magic.
"What, you think you can fight me?" Yuyue's interest was immediately piqued.
She couldn't possibly flaunt her strength in front of Beiwu for no reason; doing so would have revealed too much of her inner desires.
However, if some foolish cultivators refuse to back down, she can take this opportunity to display her Profound Ability in front of Chen Beiwu and demonstrate the overwhelming dominance of the Dao Beast Blood Descendant.
Upon hearing this, the Kongming Ancestor glanced at Chen Beiwu and, finding the latter completely unmoved, felt a pang of unease, caught in a dilemma.
If he were truly confident in subduing this behemoth, he would have already suppressed it and demonstrated his worth; there would be no need for a verbal argument. "Roar?" (Aren't you going to speak up and stop it?)
The Golden Egg transmitted its Divine Sense.
Not all Jade Purity cultivators can gain the Yuyue Guardian, and Chen Beiwu, its Contract cultivator, happens to be one of them.
"Stop what?" Chen Beiwu glanced at the Golden Egg.
Although he owed Fellow Daoist Kongming some Cause and Effect, speaking up now would only please neither side. It would be better to settle the matter after the battle was over before discussing it further.
If Yuyue wins, he can ask to spare Fellow Daoist Kong Ming's life and repay part of the previous Cause and Effect.
Of course, if Yuyue is defeated, Fellow Daoist Kong Ming will be able to gain some initiative in the matter of the Sect conquering this world.
"Will Yuyue Guardian be defeated?"
As Chen Beiwu recalled the origins of the Six Paths of Reincarnation Beast and considered the prestige of the Jade Purity Dharma Protector Killing God position, he couldn't help but silently mourn for Fellow Daoist Kongming.
"Gurgle!"
Suddenly, the sound of swallowing saliva right next to his ear caught Chen Beiwu's attention.
He turned his head and saw that Xuele was wiping the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand, his eyes fixed on the Kongji Mother Tree not far away.
"Hey! (Good stuff!)"
Seeing Chen Beiwu's gaze, Xuele couldn't help but tug at his clothes, indicating that he had to find a way to get a share of the profits.
"No rush, the Kongji Mother Tree can't escape anyway. Let's first observe the clash between the Half-Step Void Refinement beings!"
Chen Beiwu retreated a thousand feet, his gaze falling on the man and beast facing off in the distance.
"You still refuse to reveal your true form? Are you deliberately courting death?"
Yuyue looked at the Kongming Ancestor with great interest, but was in no hurry to make a move.
"Call."
Kongming Ancestor exhaled a breath of Turbid Qi, not daring to be careless, and his figure transformed into a streak of light and disappeared into the earth.
Rumble!
The earth cracked and mountains tilted, gray light surged forth, and a wild and ancient aura erupted.
The next instant, the roots of the Kongji Mother Tree bulged out, and a giant insect slowly emerged from its front half, revealing a huge, flat, round head. Its head had no facial features, only rows of ferocious and terrifying fine, backward-pointing teeth, yet it possessed the power to devour the heavens Void, radiating an unparalleled aura of emptiness.
"This is the true form of Kongming Ancestor [Tengyuan Cricket]?" Chen Beiwu raised his eyebrows slightly, quite surprised.
Just from the name, he had no idea what kind of Creation Origin Beast the Tengyuan Qushan was.
Now that he has witnessed the true form of the Kongming Ancestor, Chen Beiwu can naturally recognize the insect's common name in the Immortal Alliance.
[Name]: The Great Void Retreating Walker
[Attribute]: Void
[Bloodline]: Fifth Tier Creation
[Profound Ability]: Void-Piercing Escape, Ten-Thousand-Year Retreating Walk, Great Realm Void Travel...
Void-Piercing Escape: Fifth-Tier Creation Origin Arts, granting the Heaven-Birth the Great Void Retreating Walker escape into the Void without leaving a trace, or at least leave Void imprint. Ten-Thousand-Year Retreating Walk:** Fifth-Tier Creation Origin Arts, with each hurdle spanning ten thousand years as one threshold, and one hundred thousand years as ten thresholds. Those who pass through ten thresholds and directly reach one million years can awaken the Bloodline of Heaven-Quasi Immortal Beast and transform into Immortal Beast Legacy Species [Ten-Thousand-Year Retreating Walk].
Great Realm Void Travel: Fifth-Tier Creation Origin Arts. When encountering tribulations, it can be rendered into emptiness, thus escaping the cycle of Cause and Effect and being unaffected by calamities. However, it is difficult to comprehend the Great Dao. [Introduction]: Great Void Retreating Walker has many common names, and can also be called Great Void Earth Dragon. It ranks seventh on the Immortal Alliance Creation Origin Beast Ranking.
This beast has no eyes or bones, and its Bloodline can only undergo further transformation as it ages. However, it possesses life-saving abilities that surpass those of ordinary Creation Origin Beast. Recalling the information about Great Void Retreating Walker in his mind, Chen Beiwu immediately felt confident.
Although Great Void Retreating Walker was quite famous in the Immortal Alliance, he was indeed much inferior to Dao Beast Blood Descendant like the Six Paths of Reincarnation Beast.
"Woof? (Does that mean Yuyue is guaranteed to win?)"
Iron Egg had no doubt about his master's judgment.
"Pretty much the same." Chen Beiwu's eyes flashed.
Given the vast difference in their Bloodline, he simply couldn't imagine any possibility of Fellow Daoist Kongming winning.
Of course, if Fellow Daoist Kongming were willing to part with a treasure like the Kongji Mother Tree and fully elevate its Bloodline, it might increase their chances of victory. "So it was just a worm."
Yuyue lowered her head slightly, the single horn on her head radiating light. Her True Form, Profound Ability, unleashed the "Six Paths Rotation," silently eroding the mind of the Kongming Ancestor.
Under Chen Beiwu's divine sense, both the beast and the insect stood still, showing no trace of the terrifying power of a peerless demon lord in battle.
"Huh?" (How about we take down the Kongji Mother Heart first?)
Xuele couldn't help but have some ulterior motives.
Chen Beiwu remained silent, simply closing his eyes and using his Primordial Spirit to sense the subtle changes in the Heaven and Earth Spirit Vigor.
On the first day, Great Void Retreating Walker's body trembled, and his vital energy dropped by more than half.
The next day, the gaps in the Great Void Retreating Walker, covered with barbed teeth, twisted slightly, and drops of blood kept seeping out.
On the third day, Great Void Retreating Walker's flesh and blood tore apart and broke into six pieces.
On the fourth day, the instant Chen Beiwu opened his eyes, the outcome was decided. The overwhelming scene of the Six Paths of Samsara of Reincarnation illuminated the sky above Heavenly Void Cave before quickly disappearing.
"Crack! Crack!"
Space torn apart, the Void in disarray.
Great Void Retreating Walker, and could only watch helplessly as a Bai Yu was raised high, without even a chance to unleash his Bloodline True Form to struggle and resist.
"It's over!" Yuyue said indifferently.
"What's this Void-Piercing Escape,' ' Great Realm Void Travel,' ' Creation Origin Formation '? All of these are futile before the Quasi-Sixth-Tier Dao Art [Six Paths Rotation]!" Wait, Fellow Daoist Kongming is willing to submit to the Sect and the Immortal Alliance; there's no need to kill him!
At the critical moment, Chen Beiwu's voice suddenly rang out.
Upon hearing this, Yuyue paused, decisively withdrawing Profound Ability [Six Paths Rotation] profound power.
It would indeed be a pity to kill him.
For the Sect's higher-ups, the value of a supreme Demon Venerable willing to submit is no less than that of the Kongji Mother Heart, and may even surpass it. In addition, Beiwu, who persuaded Great Void Retreating Walker, can also exchange this merit for a considerable amount of Jade Purity Immortal Merit.
"How... how could the difference be so huge?"
Kongming Ancestor raised his eyes and looked up at the pure white behemoth high above, and a huge wave of emotions surged in his heart.
Despite both being supreme Demon Venerable with Dao Practice levels reaching 99,999 years, the Bloodline True Form Profound Ability he unleashed was as fragile as a bubble, unable to shake the opponent in the slightest.
Yuyue ignored the astonishment of the Kongming Ancestor, keeping a close eye on Chen Beiwu's reaction out of the corner of her eye.
Many supreme Demon Venerable have been defeated by her, including many Dao Beast Blood Descendant. A mere Creation Origin Beast is not worth her attention at all.
At this moment, Yuyue only cared about Chen Beiwu's reaction.
"Sharp!"
Noticing the subtle gaze, Chen Beiwu couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
Yuyue immediately beamed with joy and invited Beiwu to admire her spoils of war.
"Crack! Crack!"
With a casual step, Yuyue collapsed the remaining Formation Arts and led Chen Beiwu to the Kongji Mother Tree.
"What terrifying vitality!" Chen Beiwu took a deep breath, suppressing his surprise.
He had traversed Two Realms and seen countless rare treasures, but he had never seen such a powerful elixir of life force. Logically speaking, such a elixir of life force could not possibly be nurtured by a single Emperor Sequence Middle Thousand World.
Thinking of this, Chen Beiwu looked at Fellow Daoist Kongming, who had regained his human form, was pale, and could barely stand.
"Fellow Daoist, do you know the origin of this Kongji Mother Tree?"
"This mother tree existed before the beings of the Kongming Realm gained consciousness," Fellow Daoist Void said carefully.
Upon hearing this, Yuyue shrank her body, took two steps forward, gently reached out and touched the Kongji Mother Tree, then closed her eyes.
After a long while, she opened her eyes and quickly retreated. "Something's wrong with this Kongji Mother Tree, it's alive!" As soon as she finished speaking, a sudden change occurred.
The Kongji Mother Tree trembled slightly, and the Heaven and Earth Spirit Vigor suddenly converged, forming a special cage that locked Chen Beiwu, Yuyue, and the Kongming Ancestor together.
"Alive? How is that possible!"
The Kongming Ancestor's expression changed drastically.
He entered the "Union with the Dao" realm by refining the Kongji Mother Heart. If the Kongji Mother Tree possessed sentience, how could it allow outsiders to control its power? But in the next instant, the Kongming Ancestor's body stiffened, and the True Form's Law Power within his body began to drain away frantically.
Because his Law Power was draining away too quickly, in just a few breaths, Dense and Numerous cracks appeared on the skin of the Kongming Ancestor, and his cultivation level plummeted from the ultimate Demon Venerable to the initial Demon Venerable.
"Help... help me!"
Kongming Ancestor subconsciously looked at Yuyue, his voice hoarse.
No wonder the Violet Gold True Venerable, who ruled a realm, disappeared without a trace and was usurped by him.
It turns out that the Violet Gold True Venerable was devoured by the Kongji Mother Tree as a resource!
"Call out!"
Chen Beiwu reacted extremely quickly, immediately activating his defensive profound Profound Ability to get close to Yuyue Guardian.
Golden Egg, Iron Egg, Xuele, and Zhiling also activated their Bloodline True Form Profound Ability, instantly forming one spiritual light barrier after another.
"Don't worry, I won't harm you."
As a clear, gentle, and neutral voice rang out, a terrifying will, powerful enough to chill even Spirit Transformation Venerable, suddenly revived.
Faced with this terrifying will, even Yuyue, who had maintained a calm demeanor, couldn't help but change her expression drastically, her eyes revealing a solemn look. "Sixth-Realm Demon Saint!"
When Yuyue Guardian uttered those four words, one word at a time, Chen Beiwu's mind tensed instantly, and a ripple of emotion rose within him.
Above the Fifth-Realm Demon Venerable is the Sixth-Realm Demon Saint, also known as the Hunyuan Great Demon.
Such Primordial Unity Being is on par with the Immortal Alliance's Void Refinement Dao Venerable, and can easily suppress and kill Spirit Transformation Venerable with a single thought.
If it weren't for the sect's Daoist Master's prior statement that he could freely train and gain experience in the Void Realm, Chen Beiwu would probably have lost control of his panic and directly activated the Ten Directions Gate to escape from the Void Realm.
"To deliberately disguise yourself as a Quasi-Dao Medicine and hide in the Middle Thousand World, fellow Daoist, you certainly have a good interest."
Upon hearing the familiar voice, Chen Beiwu and Yuyue both breathed a sigh of relief, and Golden Egg Dan, Iron Egg, Xuele, and Zhiling were no longer on high alert. Suddenly, light condensed in the Void, and a figure slowly appeared.
His features were gentle, and he wore a white robe; he was none other than the Jade Purity Void Refinement Dao Venerable [Dao Venerable Guangcheng].
"I have no intention of being your enemy, otherwise I wouldn't have allowed you to kill my servants back then." The clear voice clearly carried a hint of apprehension.
Clearly, there is a hierarchy between the Void Refinement Dao Venerable and the Hunyuan Great Demon, and this Hunyuan Great Demon, hidden in the Middle Thousand World, is unwilling to be an enemy of the Jade Purity Dao Venerable.
"So what? If I'm not mistaken, you should be Elder Jian Heavenly Immortal Wood of the Ancient Demon Realm Royal Court This Seat." Dao Venerable Guangcheng casually revealed.
"Jian Heavenly Immortal Wood?"
Upon hearing this Honorific, Yuyue's expression changed slightly, and she couldn't help but recall the fierce battles between the Immortal Alliance and the Ancient Yao Realm. Jian Heavenly Immortal Wood was a terrifying being who ranked fifth among the Elder of the Ancient Demon Realm Royal Court and called himself the Heaven-Seeing Great Sage.
Only those who have reached the Void Refinement Second Step Realm within the Immortal Alliance can rival him!
