A Crisis for Heaven and Earth!
"Something's not right?"
A reminder from Great Sun Purple Ultimate caused Qi Yun, who was gazing intently at the confrontation with Tian Qiong True Lord, to frown slightly.
The frown was so slight that it was almost imperceptible.
He remained standing with his hands behind his back, his dark blue Daoist robe motionless, his gaze still fixed on the group of True Lord who dominated the sky.
But in the next instant, a warm and gentle Great Sun intent, illuminating all things, spread from the depths of the Purple Mansion.
That was the Great Sun Purple Ultimate True Lord intent that resonated with his origin, the most direct sensory transmission between his Dharma Body and his true self.
Within that Great Sun Dao Intent, there were no words, no images.
There was only an indescribable sense of vigilance.
Qi Yun's slightly furrowed brows suddenly froze.
Deep within those vast, azure-gold eyes, the pupils suddenly contracted to the size of pinpoints!
A sudden chill, like the coldest venomous snake, exploded from his heart without warning, instantly spreading to every part of his body, making every hair on his body stand on end!
A sudden enlightenment!
He finally understood what the phrase "not quite right" from the Great Sun Purple Ultimate meant.
Qi Yun slowly raised his eyes and looked once more at the group of True Lord who dominated the sky.
The Wudao Extreme Dharma True Lord stood with his hands behind his back, his aura as deep and unfathomable as an abyss. In his eyes, which seemed to freeze all things, a light almost driven to madness burned.
Qingyuan True Lord Wendao placed his right hand on the hilt of his sword, his Sword Intent soaring to the sky, and his eyes, which were as clear as an infant's, were now as cold as an ancient Cold Abyss.
The Nine Revolutions Undying True Lord grinned, his golden eyes blazing with fighting spirit that was almost tangible.
The Nine Nethers Sun-Devouring True Lord's eerie green eyes flickered uncertainly, and black mist churned around him, emanating a terrifying aura that could devour everything.
There was also the Sage Wang, and several other True Lord, each occupying a certain area, confronting each other.
The oppressive force, powerful enough to crush the void, intertwined, collided, and crushed wildly between them.
The sky trembled, the earth shook, and the Long River of Time boiled.
It seemed as if the Xuanhuang Home Realm would completely collapse in the next second amidst the battle of these peak beings.
But Qi Yun now looks at this scene again--
I felt a chill run through my entire body.
What kind of being is the True Lord?
That is a supreme being who understands Yin and Yang and Yang, comprehends cause and effect, comprehends the universe, and comprehends the Great Dao!
Which of them hasn't endured countless hardships and possessed an unwavering will?
Which one wasn't meticulously planned and executed step by step?
Which one doesn't value their own Dao Path more than their own life?
How could we have gotten into such a petty argument over just a few words?
How could he act like a brute, resorting to violence at the slightest disagreement?
even----
How could someone utter such reckless words as "sink the Xuanhuang Home Realm"?
Sink the Xuanhuang Home Realm?
Qi Yun's hands, hidden within his wide sleeves, suddenly clenched tightly!
This is the place where the True Lord attained enlightenment!
That's where their Fruition Status are held!
It is where their true spirits reside!
To sink Xuanhuang would mean perishing together with one's own Dao Fruit!
The True Lord Wudao may be mad, but he is never stupid; the True Lord Qingyuan may be arrogant, but he is never reckless; the Nine Revolutions Undying True Lord may be warlike, but he never seeks death!
There's only one explanation for them saying such things and falling into this reckless state!
Someone is secretly manipulating them, affecting their minds and disturbing their reason!
Can----
But what kind of being is the True Lord?
That is the supreme being who entrusts their true spirit to the Fruition Status, hangs high above the Long River of Time, and overlooks the changing of eras!
The only thing that can influence their temper, or even sway their character, is—
Qi Yun's pupils contracted violently once again.
Above the True Lord!
That being, rumored to have transcended this realm, risen above the Long River of Time, and even be looked up to by True Lord, was secretly plotting something!
Drive this great war forward!
Qi Yun circulated his body, the chill intensified.
He lowered his eyes slightly, concealing the fleeting shock in them, leaving only a deep, unfathomable calm.
But beneath those wide sleeves, his hands were clenched so tightly that his knuckles had turned white.
Above the True Lord ----
Above the True Lord ----
Qi Yun's thoughts raced wildly deep within his mind.
He was able to perceive this situation because the Great Sun Purple Ultimate was pursuing a new path to enlightenment, unbound by the constraints of Dao Fruit, thus avoiding being influenced by the being above that True Lord.
But even if we knew this, what could we do?
Qi Yun's eyes flickered slightly, and his thoughts flashed like lightning.
Should I offer a word of reminder to the True Lord?
Above that True Lord, even True Lord can be influenced.
If he dared to speak out and break the deadlock, the moment the thought arose, it would be detected by that the Unseen being and he would be instantly killed and annihilated, not even his true spirit could escape!
But if we just sit idly by and do nothing...
What would it be like if the True Lord started a war?
Two True Lord clashing is enough to reduce thousands of miles of mountains and rivers to dust; a melee of more than ten True Lord, let alone the Foundation Establishment below...
Even the Great True Person, who is the very essence of the Xuanhuang Home Realm, will be reduced to chaos by them!
At that time, no matter how grand his plans or how deep his schemes Qi Yun, they would be nothing more than an insignificant speck of dust in the chaos!
what to do?
What to do!
Qi Yun closed his eyes, his mind sinking into the deepest part of his Purple Mansion.
Within the Great Luo Heaven, countless Daoist principles intertwine and collide, proposing all possibilities!
Trying to capture a glimmer of hope from those chaotic fragments of the future—
A glimmer of hope to break the deadlock!
One breath.
Two breaths.
Three breaths.
There is no way out!
There is not a glimmer of hope!
A fine layer of cold sweat seeped from Qi Yun's forehead.
But in that moment of near despair, a glimmer of light suddenly appeared in the endless chaos!
The light was extremely faint, almost imperceptible, yet like a spark in the darkness, it instantly illuminated his mind.
Got it!
Qi Yun suddenly opened his eyes!
A blinding light suddenly burst forth from the depths of those azure-gold eyes!
Above that True Lord, the means to influence the other True Lord must be through [Fruition Status]!
Because only the Fruition Status is the most fundamental refuge for True Lord; only through the attainment of the Fruition Status can one touch their hearts and minds!
Otherwise, they wouldn't have overlooked the Great Sun Purple Ultimate, who took a new path to enlightenment and was not bound by the constraints of the Dao Fruit!
In this way----
As long as he can shake the [All Wonders Heaven]!
As long as he can make those Fruition Status hanging high above the Long River of Time tremble even slightly!
perhaps----
Perhaps this will awaken some of the True Lord from their affected state!
Although it is unknown whether this move will succeed, and although it is unknown whether those affected True Lord will be able to break free from that momentary tremor.
But for now, this is the only way!
As for how to shake [the All Wonders Heaven] ----
Qi Yun's eyes flickered slightly, and a glint suddenly appeared deep within them.
color.
The blood was thick, filthy, and extremely yin and evil, as if it had gathered the ultimate negative forces in the world!
That was Blood Sea!
It is that being hidden deep within the Heavenly Demon Well, refining the ultimate Yang evil and fusing the Yin and Yang and Yang evils—
The Supreme Nether Underworld Spring Dharma Body!
Heavenly Demon Well.
There is no time, no space, no up or down, no directions.
Only eternal turbidity, and within that turbidity, an endless Blood Sea.
The Blood Sea was completely different from when I first entered.
The viscous blood plasma was no longer simply dark red, but rather presented an extremely deep blackish-red color.
Within the black and red, countless golden specks of light faintly moved, like ancient stars sinking into a blood abyss, or like the last traces left after the ultimate evil of countless Heavenly Demon was completely refined.
The blood surged, yet remained silent.
With each surge, an indescribable aura spread out.
That was the ultimate fusion of yin and yang, the complete assimilation of the Blood Sea's origin and the evil thoughts of the Heavenly Demon —an unprecedented terror that would make any living being tremble.
And at the very center of this boundless Blood Sea.
A Twelfth-Grade Blood Lotus floats silently in the air.
The blood lotus was as large as a canopy, with twelve layers of petals, each petal displaying a vibrant, luscious crimson color.
On the lotus platform, a figure sat cross-legged.
He wore a crimson robe, his black hair was disheveled, and his face was both handsome and eerie.
His eyes were closed, and his aura fluctuated, sometimes high like a surging Blood Sea, devouring the heavens and the earth, and sometimes low like a deep pool, calm and still.
It was indeed the Daoist Youquan!
Beneath him -
Deep within that Blood Sea, two extremely cold and sharp beams of light were flying back and forth!
The two sharp beams of light were one black and one white.
Black is as deep and unfathomable as an abyss.
The white ones are sharp and piercing.
Two sharp beams, one black and one white, chased, collided, and intertwined wildly in the depths of the Blood Sea!
With each collision, countless waves of blood were shattered into nothingness, and countless newly conceived phantoms of the Blood God Son were swept away by the aftershocks and instantly annihilated!
No matter how fast they flew or how many collisions they made, they could never escape the area of a thousand feet in radius beneath the Twelfth-Grade Blood Lotus.
Youquan's eyes remained tightly closed.
But the slight upturn of his lips betrayed his State of Mind.
It'll be soon.
It'll be soon.
He cultivated diligently in the Heavenly Demon Well for countless years, devouring a vast number of Heavenly Demon and fusing with the two evils of extreme Yang and extreme Yin. Finally, he fished out these two treasures formed from the Innate killing energy from the deepest part of the Blood Sea!
That was the ultimate killing intent naturally born from the deepest part of the Blood Sea after countless killings, deaths, and filth had accumulated since the beginning of time!
If one could refine it and use it for one's own purposes...
The smile on Youquan's lips slowly widened.
The next instant, he suddenly opened his eyes!
At this moment, those blood-red eyes erupted with an unprecedentedly dazzling crimson light!
The intensity of the crimson light was almost overwhelming, eclipsing the entire sea of the Blood Sea!
"Come!"
The moment the word was uttered, the Blood Sea trembled!
Youquan extended both hands, fingers spread wide, towards the two frantically fleeing beams of light deep within the Blood Sea!
A sudden grip!
"Boom--!!!"
The entire Blood Sea suddenly boiled!
Centered on the Youquan, the blood waves within a radius of ten thousand miles exploded simultaneously, transforming into countless thick blood pillars that shot into the sky!
The pillars of blood intertwined and entwined in mid-air, eventually transforming into an endless blood-red hand that covered the sky!
The size of the bloody hand is beyond description!
Five fingers, each as thick as a mountain and as long as a river!
Within the palm of his hand, countless Blood God Son floated and shrieked, emanating a terrifying suction force capable of devouring everything!
The bloody hand suddenly grabbed down into the depths of the Blood Sea!
Sensing the impending annihilation, the two streaks of black and white light fled even more frantically!
Black light flashed like lightning, white light flashed like light, drawing two crisscrossing paths deep within the Blood Sea, attempting to evade the grasp of that blood-red hand that blotted out the sky!
There's nowhere to escape!
"Roar--!!!"
A faint roar could be heard emanating from within the black light!
That roar was ancient and ferocious, as if it came from the very first wisp of killing intent at the beginning of creation!
Not to be outdone, the white light emitted a clear, resonant cry, like the simultaneous ringing of ten thousand swords, piercing straight to the mind!
But all of this was in vain before that blood-red hand that blotted out the sky.
"Boom!!!"
Bloody hands clasped together!
Those two sharp black and white beams were firmly gripped in the palm of those five fingers, each as thick as a mountain!
They struggled, charged, and tore at the bloody hands frantically!
With each struggle, countless waves of blood were torn to shreds, and countless phantoms of the Blood God Son were annihilated!
But that bloody hand was formed from an entire Blood Sea!
For every piece torn apart, a tenfold wave of blood surges forth to make up for it!
For every one that is destroyed, a hundred Blood God Son phantoms will re-form!
The more frantically they struggled, the tighter the bloody hand gripped!
final--
"Buzz--!!!"
A tremor resounded throughout the Blood Sea!
The two sharp black and white beams finally stopped struggling.
They hung silently in the bloody palm, one black and one white, facing each other, yet drawn to one another.
Youquan watched this scene, a sinister smile fully appeared on his face.
He changed the hand seals, his ten fingers flying like blooming lotus flowers, forming an ancient, sinister hand seal that contained supreme killing intent.
"Blood Sea serves as the furnace, and murderous intent as the fuel."
"Refine!"
One word fell -
That blood-red hand that blotted out the sky suddenly contracted!
The boundless power of the Blood Sea, like a hundred rivers flowing into the sea, surged wildly into the two black and white beams of light!
The black light absorbed the power of the Blood Sea, becoming even deeper and darker, as if it could devour everything!
The white light absorbed the power of the Blood Sea, becoming even more fierce and sharp, as if it could cut through everything!
Time loses its meaning amidst the Blood Sea.
I don't know how much time passed -
It may be a moment, or it may be ten thousand years.
That blood-red hand that blotted out the sky finally vanished completely.
And where it vanishes.
Two magical swords floated silently.
The first one was completely black, like ink.
On the blade, countless twisted patterns flowed faintly, the imprint of Innate killing intent, the manifestation of the Blood Sea Origin.
On the hilt of the sword, two ancient seal characters gleamed brightly.
[Avici]
The second one is pure white, like jade.
On the blade, countless sharp lines flowed faintly, another manifestation of Innate killing intent, a condensation of the source of slaughter.
On the hilt of the sword, two ancient seal characters also appear, exuding a dignified and imposing aura.
[Yuantu]
Two magical swords, one black and one white, floated silently above the Blood Sea, slowly rotating around the Twelfth-Grade Blood Lotus.
They emitted no aura, nor did they exude any oppressive force.
Yet it is precisely this extreme tranquility that causes anyone who witnesses their existence to feel a tremor originating from the deepest part of their Divine Soul.
Youquan gazed at the two magic swords, and at the four ancient seal characters [Avici] and [Yuantu], and burst into loud laughter.
The laughter was clear, joyful, and unrestrained, echoing endlessly in this boundless Blood Sea!
He rose to his feet, standing atop the Twelfth-Grade Blood Lotus, his crimson robes billowing without wind, his black hair dancing wildly.
He stretched out his hands.
With his left hand, he grasped the jet-black Abi Avici.
His right hand grasped the Yuantu, which was as white as jade.
The instant the two swords were drawn, "BOOM!!!"
The entire Blood Sea boiled completely!
Countless waves of blood surged into the sky, transforming into billions of Blood God Son, all kneeling on the Blood Sea, bowing in worship to the figure standing atop the Twelfth-Grade Blood Lotus!
Youquan lowered his eyes, gazing at the two swords in his hand and the four ancient seal characters [Avici] and [Yuantu], a bloodthirsty glint in his eyes.
He spoke slowly, his voice not loud, yet it echoed clearly throughout the Blood Sea: "Avici Yuantu, killing is done at will."
From this day forward...
"I am in charge of you, and you assist me."
Slaughter all enemies, eradicate all calamities!
"Ha ha ha ha!!!"
Laughter echoed for a long time amidst the Blood Sea.
Until a calm voice rang in Youquan's ear. "Youquan, it's time for you to attain enlightenment----"
