Heaven and Earth Answer, the Twelve Supremes
"Refining—begin!"
Qi Yun slightly raised his head, his right hand tightly gripping the Great Dao Golden Disk, which contained twelve colors of Dao intent and was as heavy as the eternal blue sky.
The Great Dao Golden Disk, which carried the supreme power of the Twelve Supremes Dao Foundation, appeared as if it had encountered a star that had hit a black hole.
Its vast, magnificent, and extremely pure Supreme Dao intent transformed into two torrents of different colors, which were frantically refined by the Law Technique Panel!
On the panel, the names of various Law Technique and progress bars shimmered with light.
But at that moment, all the light dimmed.
Only [Great Luo Heaven] and the progress bar following it began to slowly move forward.
The progress is frustratingly slow, at 1% to 2%.
Every tiny step forward requires consuming a massive amount of Supreme Dao Intent.
The power contained within that Great Dao Golden Disk was enough to instantly burst any Great True Person, enough to trigger extraordinary phenomena in heaven and earth.
However, plunging into the unfathomable [Great Luo Heaven] progress bar is like throwing a mud ox into the sea, only creating insignificant ripples.
"So slow?"
Qi Yun, who was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed and his mind completely absorbed in the refining process, frowned slightly.
According to his estimation, the Dao intent gathered from the twelve Supreme Dao Foundation is unprecedented and unparalleled, enough to propel any Divine Ability or realm to a qualitative leap.
However, the current refining and evolution speed of [Great Luo Heaven] is far below expectations, as if there is an invisible and heavy shackle that is dragging the progress bar, making it difficult to climb quickly.
"Something's not right—such a vast amount of Dao intent being refined shouldn't be happening so slowly."
Is it because the [Great Luo Heaven] itself is too high-level, and its demands far exceed expectations?
Or is it that the path to supreme unity and Empty Attainment True Lord has its own set of obstacles?
Just as Qi Yun began to have doubts and was trying his best to activate the Law Technique Panel to speed up the refining process,
A sudden change has occurred!
"BOOM-!!!"
The core secret realm of the Great Luo Heaven, where he was located, which had been completely sealed off and isolated, began to tremble violently without warning!
"Hmm?" Qi Yun suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze flashing like lightning, piercing through the barrier of the secret realm to look at the source of the tremor.
Without warning, twelve points appeared simultaneously on the thick, ten-thousand-mile-long barrier of the Great Luo Heaven, which was filled with earth, water, fire, and wind!
These twelve points are forcibly descending, infiltrating, and invading from the infinite heights and from the the Unseen!
"This is----"
Feeling the twelve incredibly powerful and domineering auras, each containing a terrifying power no less than or even surpassing that of an ordinary Peak Great True Person, ruthlessly invading the Great Luo Heaven from all directions, Qi Yun was first taken aback, and then a smile slowly appeared on his lips.
"I see—good, good, good!"
He stood up, his body surging with the Dao intent that had been refining his Dao Foundation. He was not only fearless, but his eyes burned with boundless fighting spirit!
"Is this... the great tribulation that will guide me to enlightenment today?"
Before the words were even finished, the first invading aura had already torn through the barrier and descended fiercely!
"A bright yellow light, like the Great Sun shining down, instantly filled a part of the secret realm."
Amidst the light, a figure stepped out from the distorted void.
The person's face was blurred and indistinct, but his eyes were cold and indifferent, looking down upon all living beings. He wore a bright yellow robe embroidered with the sun, moon, stars, mountains, rivers, and the state. Although the style was simple and ancient, it exuded an aura of supreme majesty that ruled over all.
His hands were empty, but just by standing there, he exuded a terrifying sense of oppression, as if he held the power of the world and could decide life and death with a single thought!
Gazing at the bright yellow figure that instantly caused the surrounding chaotic energy to freeze and retreat upon its appearance, Qi Yun's eyes Qi Yun like lightning as he recognized its origin. He chuckled lightly, his tone carrying a hint of understanding and fighting spirit. "The Supreme Sovereign Mystic Firmament Dao Foundation —so, you're the first one, aren't you?"
The bright yellow figure didn't react to Qi Yun's words. His blurry face turned towards Qi Yun, and his cold eyes locked onto his target.
The next moment -
"Boom!"
The Supreme Sovereign, in his true form, took a bold step forward!
This step carried an overbearing air of "all land under heaven belongs to the king," as if the entire secret realm was submitting to him.
Make way for him!
The endless, dazzling yet cold bright yellow light, like the Milky Way hanging upside down from the heavens, or like the heavenly punishment descended in the wrath of the Heavenly Emperor, crashed down with a deafening roar!
Wherever the light passed, even Qi Yun's surging Dao intent seemed to be suppressed by imperial authority, causing its operation to become sluggish!
Even more terrifying was that the bright yellow light contained a terrifying killing intent!
[The Supreme Sovereign Divine Ability of Death by a Thousand Cuts!]
Faced with this domineering and unparalleled conceptual attack that directly targets the source of destruction, Qi Yun's eyes flashed with divine light. He neither dodged nor avoided it, and the corners of his mouth even turned up three points!
"Imperial authority? The power of life and death?"
With the same step forward, the suppressed Great Luo Dao Intent around him rebounded violently, becoming even more condensed and unyielding!
At the same time, Qi Yun pointed his right hand like a sword and unleashed a bright yellow light that was almost identical in color, shape, and even Dao intent to his opponent, launching a fierce counterattack!
[The Supreme Sovereign's Divine Ability Immediate Execution by Beheading!]
While both are killing and killing Divine Ability derived from the foundation of the Supreme Sovereign Dao Foundation, when Qi Yun unleashed them, they lacked some of the decay and suppression of ancient imperial power, and instead possessed a sharp and decisive spirit of breaking down the old and establishing the new!
It was as if the old emperor was dead and a new emperor was about to ascend the throne.
All obstacles can be cut down, and life or death can be decided instantly!
"Boom!!!"
Two equally bright yellow beams of light, yet with completely opposite cores, clashed fiercely in the center of this secret realm, like two roaring ancient dragons!
There was no sound.
Only a blinding, intense white light, capable of instantly blinding Great True Person, accompanied by a destructive shockwave, spread wildly in all directions in a ring shape!
"Snap!!!"
Wherever the shockwave passed, the incredibly sturdy spatial barrier of the Great Luo Heaven Secret Realm shattered like glass struck by a heavy hammer, emitting a teeth-grinding cracking sound!
A series of crisscrossing, bottomless, pitch-black spatial rifts spread wildly, the chaotic energy was completely evaporated and annihilated, and the evolution of earth, water, fire, and wind was forcibly interrupted and Ruins of Return.
The entire secret realm seemed about to be split in two by this terrifying collision!
Such power emanated from the aftershocks of just one exchange!
This is the terror of the manifestation of the Supreme Dao Foundation source.
Amidst the blazing white light and chaos, Qi Yun remained motionless, his robes fluttering in the wind, his eyes burning with fighting spirit.
The avatar of the Supreme Sovereign was impacted by the "Revolutionary Cauldron" will contained in the "Immediate Execution by Beheading," causing the bright yellow light around him to dim slightly for a moment, and his blurred face seemed to fluctuate as well.
"They are almost one step away from becoming True Lord— "
Sensing the force of the figure's attack, Qi Yun's eyes narrowed slightly.
The next moment!
Wield Myriad Laws!
His body erupted with the power of the Great Luo Heaven, and an unparalleled aura of dominating and controlling all kinds of Dao techniques Divine Ability spread out.
The Supreme Sovereign's incarnation unleashed another [Imperial Ultimate Heavenly Might], which transformed into countless mountains, pressing down on Qi Yun.
Immediately afterwards, Qi Yun spread his five fingers, made a grasping motion towards the incoming Imperial Mountain, and threw it back.
With the blessing of the Wield Myriad Laws, this imperial mountain swelled in the wind, instantly growing ten times its original size. The relentless mountain range pressed down, and its terrifying suppressive power almost sealed off the heavens and the earth.
With a gleam in his eyes, the Supreme Sovereign took a heavy step, his body suddenly growing larger and larger than the Imperial Mountain in an instant.
"Heaven-Banning Rule!"
Just as the Supreme Sovereign's aura reached its peak and his new Divine Ability was about to erupt, Qi Yun's eyes suddenly turned into a cold, silvery white, and he pressed down on him from afar!
An invisible and intangible, yet so heavy that it solidified the Principle of all things, descended with a deafening roar!
This power does not target the physical body, nor does it damage Law Power; it points directly to the fundamental principles of the Great Dao!
The Supreme Sovereign's incarnation was surrounded by surging imperial aura, a boundless killing intent, and terrifying divine Divine Ability about to erupt—
With that press, it was as if a tremendous shackle had been placed on him, instantly freezing, silence, and sealing him off!
The massive, imposing figure returned to its original form.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Qi Yun like lightning, instantly appearing in front of the Supreme Sovereign's avatar. He gathered the insights he had gained from the recent battle and his own Great Luo Dao Intent into his fist, and without any fancy moves, he punched the avatar in the chest!
"Thump--!!!"
Amidst a dull, thunderous roar, the bright yellow light surrounding the Supreme Sovereign's avatar exploded like shattered glass. His blurry figure swayed violently, becoming slightly transparent, before being violently blasted backward by a tremendous force, crashing through large, unhealed spatial rifts, his aura noticeably weakening.
However, just as Qi Yun had succeeded in his attack and was preparing to completely shatter the avatar of the Supreme Sovereign, a "whoosh!" rang out.
A faint yet incredibly sharp beam of bright yellow light, just as the Supreme Sovereign's avatar was blasted away, strangely refracted from his fingertips and, with a speed beyond comprehension, sliced across the back of Qi Yun's raised right hand as he was about to block!
A pale golden bloodstain appeared instantly.
However, the pure and ancient imperial will to kill contained within it is like a bone-deep sore, stubbornly eroding the wound, preventing it from healing, and bringing waves of stinging pain.
Qi Yun looked down at the shallow bloodstain on the back of his hand. Instead of being annoyed, he smiled slightly, and the fighting spirit in his eyes grew even stronger.
"Interesting----" He shook his hand, and the invading imperial will was forcibly erased by the more powerful Great Luo Dao intent within his body, and the wound healed instantly.
He raised his head, his gaze no longer solely fixed on the weakened, regrouping avatar of the Supreme Sovereign, but sweeping across the other eleven figures on the Great Luo Heaven barrier. His voice suddenly rose, carrying an overwhelming, domineering aura of arrogance. "What's the point of coming one by one?"
"Coming"
He took a step forward, the void beneath his feet trembled, and the vast, domineering, and all-encompassing supreme aura around him erupted like a dormant volcano, soaring into the sky.
Let's all come together!
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Thump!
Thump!
Thump!
Like the footsteps of ancient Gods and Devils treading on the drum of destiny, heavy and terrifying footsteps echoed from the infinite heights.
Immediately afterwards, under Qi Yun's gaze—
One, two, three—eleven figures, each exuding a powerful and vast aura, their bodies radiating distinct yet all possessing an air of supreme dominance, stepped forward!
With each person who leaves, the pressure within the Great Luo Heaven doubles!
The space groaned, the chaotic energy was completely dispelled, and the surroundings turned into a void.
These people are the strongest among all the Supreme Cultivators throughout history!
At this moment, in harmony with heaven and earth, it manifests as his great tribulation for attaining enlightenment!
When Qi Yun's gaze swept over the eleventh figure, a noticeable ripple appeared in his eyes for the first time.
It was a figure dressed in a simple black Daoist robe, with an upright posture and a face shrouded in a light mist.
He didn't deliberately exude any pressure; he simply stood there quietly, yet he gave off a peculiar feeling of being detached from worldly affairs.
"It was him?!"
Looking at the figure he had seen not long ago, Qi Yun's pupils contracted slightly, and his heart was filled with turmoil.
True Lord Canyi Budao!
That most ancient, mysterious, and powerful Great Perfection True Lord of the Holy Sect!
He's actually a Supreme Cultivator?
But why didn't he use the Supreme Dao Foundation to achieve Dao?
Countless questions flooded Qi Yun's mind in an instant.
He had a vague feeling that he had stumbled upon some earth-shattering secret.
But now is clearly not the time to delve into it.
He took a deep breath, memorizing this discovery, his gaze sharpening like a knife once more.
With the emergence of the Foundation Establishment Realm's "Canyi," the pressure within the entire Great Luo Heaven has almost reached its limit!
The spatial barrier creaked under the strain, as if it might collapse completely at any moment.
Just as the pressure reached its peak and Domain Heaven was on the verge of collapse, "Tap."
With a barely audible footstep, the twelfth figure stepped down.
The footsteps were very light, yet they caused even the devastating combined pressure to falter.
And then this figure stepped out!
The Great Luo Heaven, which was on the verge of cracking and collapsing, suddenly solidified and stabilized, becoming even more solid than before.
Looking at the figure who made the final appearance, and seeing that familiar dark blue Daoist robe, Qi Yun was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and laughed, "This time, things have gone a bit too far."
