Clearing the Field, Smashing Them All

Seeing "Xiao Yanzhi" with his head smashed open and fall asleep, and even the imperial figure staggering and collapsing at this moment, no one present could maintain their composure. They all subconsciously took half a step back, feeling a chill run down their spines.

Including those lofty, illusory figures of Immortals and Gods.

A familiar scene, a familiar scent, a sense of déjà vu...

This is Laojun's Vajra Bracelet!

Even the arrogant Kong Xuan was now staring intently at the Vajra Bracelet, which hung in mid-air and hummed on its own, his expression solemn.

In ancient times, this ring crushed countless arrogant demon gods Great Sage; even he himself did not want to try it lightly.

"The Vajra Bracelet... What a grand gesture from the Daode Lineage! Before even arriving, they've already thrown in their prized possessions, daring to entrust them to such a junior."

The woman in the Daoist robe was blinded by a blinding light that outshone the sun. She could only hear her grandmaster's mutterings, filled with schadenfreude:

"... They're treating that person like a monkey."

After gloating, this person also seemed to have deep doubts:

"But... how could it be this person?"

"Even if someone in the Daode Lineage needs to undergo tribulations and be reborn, it shouldn't be this person from Nanhua..."

The woman in the Daoist robe was startled. Was Yu Tunzhou not from their Jade Void Lineage, but from the Daode Lineage?

"Grandmaster, is Yu Tunzhou a disciple of the Daode Lineage?"

The Three Pure Ones share a common origin. Even if there were past conflicts, they are all things of the past. With the Final Tribulation approaching, the three lineages should join hands and move forward together.

"Disciples?" The voice from behind the scenes clicked its tongue lightly. "Your ancestor may say such things, but you may not, and even I may not. When I meet this person, I must address him as Senior Brother Xuandu."

Senior Brother Xuandu?

The woman in the Daoist robe felt a buzzing in her mind. If these words hadn't come from her grandmaster's own mouth, she would have taken them as a joke.

This... this... aren't we both disciples of the Yuxu Sect?

How did he become the grandmaster's eldest brother?

Even the grandmaster had to address him as the eldest disciple... Isn't this the head disciple of the second generation of disciples?!

The voice of the Grandmaster echoed once more, filled with an indescribable emotion. "Since our parting at the Eight Sceneries Palace, I never imagined we would meet again here at the Dragon Gate. Although a great calamity is imminent, the fact that I can see him brings me some comfort."

The fact that this person wielding the Vajra Bracelet has appeared in the world proves that the Daode Lineage has not abandoned this world!

A moment ago.

The terrifying auras of Immortals and Gods phantoms clashed all around.

Seeing that the aftershocks of their battle were already putting him in mortal danger, Yu Tunzhou felt that in this level of melee, he was nothing more than a small boat that could capsize at any moment.

"Ancestral Dragon," he said in his mind, "Make your move!"

"Fellow Daoist, please enter into the Unity of Heaven and Celestial Person, and sense the universe—"

The remnant soul of the Ancestral Dragon did not hesitate.

These individuals' actions exceeded His expectations, and they actually shook the foundation of the Dragon Gate to some extent, especially the Buddha's treasure from the previous Future Buddha.

It seems that from ancient times to the present, these people have not only been sleeping, but also honing and refining themselves!

Compared to sending out one's own resources, it is clearly more worthwhile to support Fellow Xuandu.

At His instruction, Yu Tunzhou instantly calmed his mind and entered a state of oneness with the Unity of Heaven and Celestial Person.

A feeling completely different from anything I'd ever experienced swept over my entire body.

A vast and boundless power surged in from all directions. This feeling was not like a trickle or a river bursting its banks, but rather like the oceans overflowing their banks!

Mountains and rivers, the sun, moon and stars, wind and thunder—all the laws, rules, and powers of the Dragon Gate world opened up to him at this moment.

In that instant, only four words came to Yu Tunzhou's mind—

A complete upheaval!

In a mere instant, all the acupoints in his body "opened up" in an instant, as if they had been transformed into blessed lands under the infusion of infinite power.

This feeling is indescribable. If his usual Unity of Heaven and Celestial Person is like standing by a stream and scooping water with his hands, then at this moment, he is standing in the middle of a vast ocean, with the entire sea supporting him, as if he has been blessed by heaven and favored by destiny.

He felt that he was this world, and this world was him.

The laws governing every inch of space responded to his will, and every spark of inspiration flowed with his breath.

This force almost burst him apart in an instant, but fortunately he woke up in time and poured all of this power into the Vajra Bracelet.

Even the remaining power within him allowed him to temporarily reach a new level.

External Scenery? The Peak External Scenery? Or... Dharma Aspect?

This is the Realm of Harmony?!

If Yu Tunzhou hadn't had the opportunity to transform into Kunpeng at the first gate of the Dragon Gate, he probably wouldn't have been able to control this power!

Under his command, the power of the entire world seemed to be poured into the Vajra Bracelet. With the touch of Qi of Dao and Virtue, this divine weapon, which had been silent for thousands of years, finally awoke again, emitting a clear and melodious hum.

The Vajra Bracelet trembled more and more violently, and silvery-white light emanated from its body.

Yu Tunzhou instantly locked onto the back of the emperor's head.

This world is completely under my control, as if I could read the lines on my palm.

With a whoosh, the Vajra Bracelet flew out, its force, angle, and timing all perfectly aimed, striking Emperor Ying squarely on the back of the head and simultaneously eliminating "Xiao Yanzhi."

The Emperor's shadow staggered, the stars scattered, just like an old friend, but it still could not be completely destroyed.

This was, after all, the Heavenly Court Emperor Dominion all the stars, and the Vajra Bracelet had not yet reached its peak.

Then smash it again!

Yu Tunzhou with lightning speed, taking a single step and already standing above the Emperor's Shadow.

The Vajra Bracelet twirled in his palm, its silvery-white light blazing once more. The Qi of Dao and Virtue transformed into countless streams of pure energy, sealing off all of the Emperor's escape routes in all directions.

Once isn't enough? Then twice!

"Young man, you belong to the Daode Lineage— "

Just as Di Ying regained his footing, he saw that damned circle coming again, and for the first time, his voice was filled with shock and anger.

However, Yu Tunzhou didn't waste any words with him.

A continuous stream of power poured into the Vajra Bracelet, and it fell once more.

The body, forged from the light of stars, shattered like a withered branch before the Vajra Bracelet. From its fingertips to its shoulders, half of its body transformed into a sky full of fireflies.

The Emperor's Shadow retreated abruptly.

However, under Yu Tunzhou's watchful gaze, the Vajra Bracelet relentlessly pursued him.

The third strike hit Emperor Ying squarely in the chest, tearing his robes. The illusory image of the vast Star Palace surrounding Emperor Ying trembled violently, like water being struck by a stone, causing countless palaces to collapse and crumble.

Emperor Ying let out a sound that was somewhere between a roar and a muffled groan, his figure appearing and disappearing in the blink of an eye.

"How dare you, Daode Lineage, deceive me like this?!"

However, the fourth blow landed in an instant, giving Emperor Shadow no chance to catch his breath.

Vajra Bracelet struck, the Emperor's Shadow happened to look up, his eyes, which Dominion all stars, filled with rage, reflecting ever-growing silver-white circles, and then—

A loud bang.

After Xiao Yanzhi's death, the Emperor's Shadow, having lost its anchor, exploded and scattered into countless starlight, vanishing without a trace!

A projection of an emperor was smashed to pieces by four swords!

This scene left the younger generation dumbfounded, wondering how Yu Tunzhou could suddenly unleash his full power and shatter the projection of a being above the level of Immortals and Gods on the spot.

Deng Canglan stared in astonishment at the shattered statue in his hand.

Wait a minute, where are they?

Why did it stop going deeper after just opening a small opening and letting in a wisp of energy?

Don't you want to seize the fortuitous opportunity within the Dragon Gate?

Are the Immortals and Gods behind the Blood River Dao Sect really that weak?

The projections revealed the presence of Xuanwu, Kong Xuan, and other beings in the area, who were equally wary.

Those appearing here now are not their true forms, but merely projections. Their power is limited, so the contest is about who can endure longer and who can suppress more power through the Great Dao.

Compared to them, this Vajra Bracelet clearly had the permission of this world, and its power far surpassed theirs. Even the Northern Emperor's projection couldn't withstand more than a few blows before being utterly smashed apart.

The Xuanwu projection stared wide-eyed at Yu Tunzhou, puzzled. This "Junior Brother Yu" had been alone when he last visited Eternal Spring Temple, without any major karmic entanglements. How could he have joined the Daode Lineage and obtained the sect's Law Treasure in such a short time?

Behind the statue of Miedu, the Buddha's figure stood solemnly and asked, "May I ask which fellow Daoist of the Daode Lineage you are?"

However, Yu Tunzhou didn't have time to get close to these guys.

After decisively smashing the Emperor's Shadow, the silver circle spun in his palm, as if asking for credit. He finally had a moment to catch his breath, feeling that his body, Primordial Spirit were all burdened!

Within his Primordial Spirit Heaven and Earth, a flower of wisdom has already blossomed in the Void, proving that he has begun to step into the perfect realm of the Pure Land [the Purity of the Void, and the flower of wisdom blooms].

This Nature Cultivation allows one to purify one's original mind, break through the limitations of the physical body, and merge with the surrounding Void, reaching the state of "purity of mind leads to purity of environment," where the space one is in is an extension of the pure mind.

This step is enough to support cultivation to the Peak External Scenery and touch upon the Half-Step Dharma Aspect.

But that's still not enough for him to fully master the Vajra Bracelet in the present moment!

At the same time, there was a feeling of overflowing energy throughout the body's acupoints, as if it were about to explode.

Yu Tunzhou knew he couldn't delay; if he was going to make a move, he had to do it as quickly as possible.

The remnant soul of the Ancestral Dragon was also urging him to hurry up and drive away these unruly fellows.

The Yu Tunzhou, held in the palm of his hand.

The Vajra Bracelet slowly rotated in the Void. With each rotation, a stream of pure energy descended, like an inverted waterfall or a cascading galaxy, so heavy that it made it hard to breathe.

Holding the Vajra Bracelet, he glared menacingly at the gray-robed man, and without a word, directly wielded the Vajra Bracelet to strike!

A thousand troops swept outside the gate, but none remained inside!

The gray-robed man's expression changed drastically the moment the imperial shadow dissipated.

Unexpectedly, the emperor behind the Xiao Household, Dominion all the stars and controlled the Northern Star, was as fragile as paper and clay in Yu Tunzhou's hands, unable to withstand even a moment.

At that moment, the silver ring trailed a scorching white path in the Void, and the Qi of Dao and Virtue, like a waterfall cascading down, flew towards him.

The gray-robed man roared, "We beg the Yuanjun to intervene!"

A vast and ancient Taiyin energy erupted from his body, more intense and violent than ever before.

The stars in the sky gradually lit up behind the gray-robed man.

The Seven Stars of the Northern Dipper hangs high overhead, with the seven stars of the Big Dipper— Tianshu, Tianxuan, Tianji, Tianquan, Yuheng, Kaiyang, Yaoguang— lit up in sequence.

The four palaces of Purple Forbidden Enclosure, Gouchen, Heavenly Market Enclosure, Supreme Palace Enclosure are arranged in the four directions, with layers of star curtains superimposed, forming a nearly tangible Zhou Heaven Star Battle Grand Formation.

The surging star power, channeled through the gray-robed man's body, poured forth from the original entity beyond the infinite universe, sparing no expense in its infusion.

His body creaked under the impact of this force, and countless fine cracks appeared on his skin, each crack emitting blinding starlight, as if he would be burst by this force at any moment.

This filled him with terror, yet he had no choice whatsoever, and couldn't even utter a word.

Yu Tunzhou's expression hardened. Wasn't the Heavenly Emperor behind the Ji Household?

Fine, I don't care who you are today!

He raised his palm, and the Vajra Bracelet fell down.

There were no fancy changes, no complicated trajectories.

It just crashed straight down!

The Void beneath the circle collapsed, returning to chaos. Layers of star curtains shattered, and the light from the exploding stars was swallowed up by the Vajra Bracelet before it could spread.

Suddenly, the remaining two hundred or so stars roared in unison, and the Milky Way reversed. Clearly, the people behind the Ji Clan had sensed something was wrong and were trying to confront the Vajra Bracelet in the most primitive and brutal way.

Starlight and clear light collided at one point.

As expected.

The entire illusory image of the Zhou Heaven Star Battle Grand Formation was smashed through from head to tail by the Vajra Bracelet.

The three hundred and sixty-five illusory stars resembled a string of glass beads being struck by an iron hammer, exploding one after another, piece by piece.

Incredibly crisp.

The next moment, the gray-robed man turned to flee, but was directly struck in the back by the Vajra Bracelet, which pierced his head.

Upon seeing this, Yu Tunzhou couldn't help but shake his head, wondering if his own circle was specializing in attacking the back of the head.

Without the physique of the Brother Monkey, how dare I turn my back!

The Vajra Bracelet drew a circle in the Void, then leisurely flew back to the palm of the Yu Tunzhou. The circle itself hummed, untouched by any impurity, its pure energy cascading down, as if it were still somewhat unsatisfied.

Yu Tunzhou held Vajra Bracelet in his hand, his sharp gaze sweeping across the entire scene.

The young people present couldn't help but take a step back.

In just three breaths, this person had already killed two projections above the level of Immortals and Gods, his ferocity was beyond description!

The woman in the Daoist robe doubted that even if she went back and told her fellow disciples about it, no one would believe her!

She completely believed her master's words; this was definitely a great figure from Daode Lineage who had undergone tribulation and rebuilt his cultivation!

In the past, I often heard my master and uncles describe that among the disciples of the Three Pure Ones, the Daode Lineage was the most like a hermit, with its disciples rarely seen, following the natural order and advocating non-action. It was the lineage most like the Daoist lineage.

Seeing you today...

It was fake after all!

That's incredibly brutal!

The woman in the Daoist robe felt a surge of excitement, realizing that this man was even more domineering than her own Jade Void Lineage's masters!

However, the next moment, she turned pale, because the Vajra Bracelet was flying towards her.

They're on our side!

"Huh?"

Her master's voice fell from above, but it did not protect her.

Soon, the woman in the Daoist robe realized that the silver ring was heading towards An Ruyu, who was not far behind her.

She hurriedly cried out, "She is a disciple of the Supreme Purity Lineage! Master... Grandmaster, you've hit the wrong person!"

Yu Tunzhou completely ignored the woman in the Daoist robe.

If it weren't for the remnant soul of the Ancestral Dragon pointing out that this woman belonged to the Jade Void Lineage, she would have been taken along this time.

His gaze fell on where An Ruyu was.

Even now, this woman hasn't revealed her hand.

Do you like to hide your talents?

Today, I, Yu, will see how long you can keep hiding!

With a sudden thought, the Vajra Bracelet instantly locked onto the surrounding Void, imprisoning An Ruyu in the center, and then crashed down.

The woman in the white dress gazed at the approaching Vajra Bracelet, smiled helplessly, and sighed softly, a sigh that seemed to linger endlessly, as if she had resigned herself to her fate.

Then her expression suddenly turned serious.

" By the Primordial Mother above--"

Not far away.

Kong Xuan suppressed the Demon-Summoning Banner, which was still struggling, with one hand, and transmitted his voice in a deep voice:

"Old Xuanwu, join forces! Otherwise, even your tortoise shell will absolutely not be able to withstand Laojun's Vajra Bracelet!"

The Xuanwu projection, however, remained calm and composed.

Join forces?

Do you even know what it means to be one of our own?
