The Saint Realm, Gouchen Heavenly Palace.
The golden halberd clashed with the blood-red demonic sword once more.
The sea of stars and the Blood Sea clashed and clashed, their two forces intertwined, causing the very fabric of the universe to tremble.
Suddenly, a loud laugh rang out, and the golden halberd's sharpness became even more terrifying.
Within the Blood Sea, atop the Karmic Fire Red Lotus Platform, the Ancestor Minghe frowned, muttering, "Starry Sky Eyes... who could this person be...?"
The fact that he could strike down the Great Emperor Azure Radiance, even if it was only a brief exchange, is something to be taken seriously.
When did such a powerful figure appear in the Three Realms?
As they pondered, the Blood Sea slowly retreated, and the golden sea of stars did not stop them. The two sides separated, clearly distinct.
This clash between Heavenly Venerable beings came to an end.
The Mingguang Upper Realm.
Tianfu City.
Inside the magnificent imperial palace, Logo's pupil between his brows slowly closed, and a line of blood flowed down his forehead.
Wiping away the blood, Logo sighed, "Using the body of True God, wielding Miracle Creation, and clashing with the Supreme God, the pressure on my body and even my soul is too intense. It seems I still need to break through to the realm of the Main God as soon as possible and open up the Great Dao."
Just now, with the help of the fully Eye of Insight and driven by the Fantasy Origin, Logo was able to unleash the Power of the Supreme God, but this was not an easy task.
This can be seen from the blood flowing down from between the eyebrows.
"In addition, the consumption of the Fantasy Origin is more severe than imagined. Although the Fantasy Origin accumulated over thousands of years is already quite abundant, it cannot be squandered carelessly."
"Once I become Main God, my own power will be sufficient to fully withstand the pressure brought by activating the Eye of Insight."
With that thought in mind, Logo shifted his consciousness and came to the side of the Qinglian Avatar.
Taking advantage of the clash between Logo's main body and Great Emperor Azure Radiance, Qinglian Avatar withdrew from the battlefield using the Wings of Freedom and Concealment in a pre-arranged location.
This area is equipped with formations that isolate cause and Fate, and coupled with the special environment of the world during the final calamity, where Tribulation Qi permeates the air, it naturally isolates deductions, thus perfectly avoiding many hidden attacks.
Above the concealment array, the Qinglian Avatar sat cross-legged, his tattered clothes restored to normal, and three objects floated in front of him.
They are a black chain, a five-colored divine sword, and a blood-red bead.
The black chains and the five-colored divine sword belong to the Demon King of the Declining World.
The former is called the Dao-Sacrificing Shackle, a Heaven-Grade Innate Spirit Treasure. In the Astral Realm, it would be Nine-Star Miracle Divine Artifact. It can 'sacrifice' certain existential concepts corresponding to the entangled object. If used properly, it can play a tremendous role.
The Five-Colored Divine Sword is also known as the Five Elements Divine Sword. It was seized by the Demon King of the Declining World after he killed the Daoist Five Elements. It is a true Dao Artifact, that is, a Main God Artifact.
Sword-type Main God Artifact are mostly offensive in nature, with astonishing destructive power. The Five Elements Divine Sword is no exception. The five elements rotate, transforming into unparalleled sword sharpness, capable of cleaving the heavens and splitting the earth. It is an absolute Dao Artifact slaughter.
Both treasures were obtained after the Qinglian Avatar slew the Demon King of the Declining World.
The final blood-red bead was obtained from the Demon Lord of Rebellion; it was also a Dao Artifact, its function being to enhance physical strength.
After the Demon Lord of Rebellion unleashed the Dharma Heaven and Earth, his body swelled to such an extent that he possessed earth-shattering power, and this bead played a crucial role in that.
With the three treasures acquired, and after refining and wielding the Qinglian Avatar, my strength will increase even further.
With a flick of her sleeve, she put away the treasures before her, Qinglian Avatar a burning incense and prayer, contacting the Great Emperor Gouchen.
Almost instantly, Great Emperor Gouchen responded.
The smoke twisted and writhed, transforming into a human figure, which finally settled, revealing a young man dressed in golden battle armor.
Upon meeting, Great Emperor Gouchen abandoned his previous aloof attitude and laughed heartily, saying, "Well done! This battle truly showcases the might of Daoism and lets those demon bastards see who is the true ruler of the Three Realms."
Although Daoism, Buddhism, and the Demonic Three Sects coexist, Daoism has always been the most powerful. Only when Buddhism and the Demon Sect unite can they barely suppress Daoism.
This cycle of rise and fall of the righteous path was merely an accident.
In the past, Daoism often prevailed over the other two religions during many festivals.
That's why Great Emperor Gouchen said those words.
Before the Qinglian Avatar could say anything, Great Emperor Gouchen continued, "I originally wanted to stop that shameless old bastard Azure Radiance for you, but he was prepared and had the Ancestor Minghe spar with me for a few moves."
"Fortunately, you have someone backing you, but that's normal. Your master must be a powerful figure who can't stand to see someone with your unparalleled talent and ability nurture you."
Great Emperor Gouchen sighed, his words revealing a great deal of information.
"Ancestor Minghe?!"
The Qinglian Avatar's eyes narrowed, then, as if remembering something, she murmured, "Is it because of the Yuantu Sword?"
"It's highly likely." Great Emperor Gouchen nodded, his gaze subtly fixed on the Qinglian Avatar. "You're quite bold, aren't you? That old demon's advantages aren't so easily gained. However, after this incident, your karma is considered neutralized. Just don't spread his supernatural powers carelessly."
"Yes, I understand." The Qinglian Avatar nodded slightly. He truly hadn't expected that the dignified Ancestor Minghe, a Heavenly Venerable- level figure in the Demon Sect, would be so stingy—it was just a Great God technique, after all.
Shaking his head to clear his mind of distractions, the Qinglian Avatar looked at Great Emperor Gouchen and asked, "Regarding the matter of Samsara, I do not know..."
"Don't worry, I've already made contact with the Great Emperor Taishan. He can observe the Six Paths of Reincarnation at any time, even if you use Samsara to be reborn. Don't underestimate the merits and fame you've achieved for Buddhism and Daoism this time. A Demon Emperor was almost certain to fall at your hands. Countless times the world has been created, and there are still very few people like you. At least at your level, I am far inferior."
Great Emperor Gouchen seemed to recall his glorious past, a look of emotion flashing across his face.
The Qinglian Avatar incarnation, however, was focused on Samsara. Upon hearing Great Emperor Gouchen's words, its eyes lit up, and it quickly said, "Oh? We can enter Samsara at any time? Then let's set off now!"
"Alright." Great Emperor Gouchen nodded, then chanted an incantation. In no time, a sinister gate to the Underworld appeared, supported by incense offerings.
Great Emperor Gouchen stepped in first, followed closely by his Qinglian Avatar. After all, he was just an avatar, so even if he was ambushed and died, it wouldn't be a big deal, as his true body would take care of everything.
