A lone figure walks high in the blue sky.

The entire Heavenly Court was divided into a temporary training ground at this moment.

The master of the dojo, Grand Dharma Master Xuandu, stood at the center of the Zhou Heaven Star Battle Grand Formation, with the River Diagram and Luo River Diagram combined and suspended in front of him.

He slowly raised his right hand, a long, clean hand with his palm facing upwards, and gently clenched it.

"The battle begins."

A soft whisper caused the entire Heavenly Court to tremble violently.

Simultaneously, pillars of light erupted from the four cardinal directions, and the power of the stars in the heavens poured out like a flood bursting its banks. The endless starlight materialized, spreading in all directions like billions of chains.

All the restrictions, magic arrays, and Dao patterns scattered throughout the Heavenly Court were awakened at this moment, layer upon layer, crisscrossing and connecting the entire Heavenly Court like the meridians of the human body.

Under the suppression of starlight, the radiance of the seven great suns dimmed at a visible speed.

From the heavens above came the woman's furious voice:

"The River Diagram is one thing, but who in this world can obtain the Luo River Diagram from the Human Emperor?!"

"Who are you?!"

The shout wasn't directed at Yu Tunzhou, but at the woman behind him, whose white dress, still flowing, clung to her body, revealing her graceful figure, now soaked in water.

She hugged the Yu Tunzhou, tilted her head back, blinked, and said playfully:

"Guess, Yuanjun?"

The cold snort exploded like a thunderclap.

Lu Ya said coldly, "Xuandu, do you really think you can overwhelm the seven of us with just a corpse and a few tens of percent of the power of a great formation? Do you really think we have no backup plan?"

That being said...

But Lu Ya quickly sensed that, apart from the female deity who resembled Doumu, the other Dao Lord who had made a move had all fallen silent!

It was as if they had taken a step back.

Lu Ya quickly transmitted his voice, "Are you the true form of the Yuanjun? If so, as the Mother of the Myriad Stars, even without the River Diagram and Luo River Diagram, you should be able to restrain and shake the stars of the heavens!"

No matter how strong Xuandu, he is just a remnant that has benefited from the Zhou Heaven Star Battle Grand Formation. As long as the array is restrained, he can be suppressed.

And at this very moment.

Grand Dharma Master Xuandu's face was hidden beneath the chaotic energy, making it impossible to see his features, yet one could still sense his otherworldly aura.

With one step, the Void within tens of thousands of miles turned into pure white, all colors and forms were erased, and only the purest starlight flowed.

The Zhou Heaven Star Battle Grand Formation was operating at its peak, the Milky Way reversed, and the Myriad Stars surrounded it. All the mysteries of the Heavenly Court were now under the control of one person!

Only then did the woman's voice reach Lu Ya's ears, filled with shock and anger:

"... When Haotian took over the Heavenly Court, he inherited the ruins of the Demon Court and rebuilt it into the Heavenly Court we know today. The one responsible for repairing the Zhou Heaven Star Battle Grand Formation was none other than Dao Tianzun!!!"

Lu Ya's heart sank suddenly.

That Laojun was not only skilled in crafting weapons and alchemy, but his mastery of Dao of Formations was also extraordinary. As his chief disciple, Grand Dharma Master Xuandu naturally also grasped the key to this great array...

Now, with the River Diagram and Luo River Diagram suppressing it, who can challenge his control of this formation?!

At this very moment.

Grand Dharma Master Xuandu stood atop a grand formation, using the Zhou Heaven Star Battle Grand Formation to suppress the manifestation of the seven Dao Lord present, and raised his hand to summon them:

"Sword, come!"

Four sword lights pierced through the air and arrived.

Red, green, yellow, white.

Those are the Four Swords of Immortal Slaying — Immortal-Slaying, Immortal-Butchering, Immortal-Trapping, and Immortal-Ending.

At this moment, he abandoned his original opponent, turned his sword around, and came with the will to annihilate everything.

In the distance, Li Jingxuan and his four fellow disciples stood together, staring in astonishment.

this...

Although they are both from the Three Pure Ones lineage, when did the Grand Purity Lineage and the Supreme Purity Lineage become so indistinguishable, even able to control each other's supreme immortal artifacts?

If that's the case, why didn't the patriarch pass down the methods for controlling the various divine weapons of the Dao Lineage?

Looking at the array diagram in front of him, Li Jingxuan sighed inwardly, "Thank goodness you're still here."

Four immortal swords filed in and hovered in front of Grand Dharma Master Xuandu.

The latter remained calm, pointing his fingers as if they were a sword, and slashed downwards.

The four swords merged into one in an instant, transforming into a sword light that defied description.

It was described as sword light, but in reality, there was no light to be found, and it didn't even have any substantial existence left.

All that remains is the purest and most extreme concept of "cutting".

Like the first sharp ray of light that separated the clear from the turbid at the beginning of time.

"That which separates Yin and Yang in the universe is called ' the Sword Dao.'"

The Grand Dharma Master Xuandu established the law with a single word, redefining the Dao.

The entire world roared and responded!

He said softly,

"Go!"

In an instant.

A huge hole silently appeared in the blue sky.

A pure, primordial sword light, like an inverted Tianhe, slashed straight down, instantly tearing through the azure sky and severing a great sun, as well as the head of a female deity...

"Xuandu!!"

The woman shouted angrily, her voice trembling.

At this moment, countless beings looked up and saw that the great sun that had been cleaved in the sky was slowly split in two, revealing a blurry figure sitting cross-legged on one of the halves.

The figure wore an imperial crown, its face hidden in endless starlight. At this moment, a sword mark as thin as a hair was slowly emerging on its neck.

Slash it horizontally.

The sword's light has returned to the Mortal Realm.

It hovered in front of Grand Dharma Master Xuandu.

Heaven and earth were silent.

Daoist Shouxin was dumbfounded, and Yunsong and the other two beside him were equally speechless.

Those are... the Four Swords of Immortal Slaying?!

Wasn't it said that the four immortal swords were limited by the heavens and earth and were far from being restored to their peak, currently only able to exert the power of Half-Step Dharma Aspect?!

Li Jingxuan murmured, "This is... the first disciple of Grand Purity?"

far away,

Niu Kui and Qingqiu had just reunited with Yuan Xi when they witnessed this earth-shattering slash, leaving them stunned and speechless.

Niu Kui muttered, "Who Dao Lineage has completely declined? Any powerful figure who pops up anywhere in this era could easily slay an incarnation of a Primordial Unity with a single sword strike!"

Qingqiu's expression was extremely solemn as she transmitted her voice, "Yuan Xi, immediately inform your ancestor that the Demon Emperor Niangniang has decreed that if anyone with the Daoist name Xuandu appears during this trip to the Heavenly Court, the Demon Race must provide full assistance!"

"Xuandu, you used the power of the Four Swords of Immortal Slaying and the Zhou Heaven Star Battle Grand Formation to slay my avatar and wound my true body... I will personally avenge what happened today."

The woman's voice seemed to drift from the ends of the universe, its coldness causing countless stars to be covered in frost.

Grand Dharma Master Xuandu ignored him and raised his hand again.

The four sword lights merged into one, forming a "slashing" intent that hovered in front of him, like the "Sword Dao" itself, quietly exhaling a sharpness that even the Primordial Unity Dao Lord feared.

He raised his eyes, looking in the direction of Lu Ya, his aura suddenly surging as he locked onto Lu Ya with the power of the Zhou Tian Star Dou, and asked:

"Can all those Dao Lineage be killed?"

"Xuandu, you're nothing but a corpse now. Do you truly intend to fight me to the death?"

Lu Ya's voice descended from the heavens, carrying a hint of coldness.

"This humble Daoist is but an avatar; even if I were to perish, it would be of no consequence. But this boy behind you, do not blame me for breaking the rules."

"Rules?" Grand Dharma Master Xuandu said calmly, "Only my Dao Lineage has ever spoken of rules."

"You dare to challenge me to a death match?"

Having said that, he flicked his finger lightly.

"Cut."

Words become law.

The sword light that had been hovering in front of him suddenly vanished.

When it reappeared, it had already stretched for tens of thousands of miles, slicing down the second great sun in the sky!

"You--!"

Lu Ya's voice was filled with disbelief, shock, and anger, yet also concealed a trace of pain.

"Step back!" Grand Dharma Master Xuandu shouted softly, using starlight as a guide to instantly suppress the falling sun and expel Lu Ya's divided spirit from the Heavenly Court.

With a single sword strike, he repelled Lu Ya.

Only five rounds of the Great Sun remained in the arena.

Grand Dharma Master Xuandu's gaze swept over them indifferently.

"Brother Xuandu," a hoarse voice rang out from one of the great suns, carrying a deliberate softening tone, "We have come here not to be enemies of the Dao Lineage."

The other two who had previously made their moves chose to step back and refrain from engaging in a further, deadly battle.

An avatar is nothing in itself, but it involves their presence in the Heavenly Court and their subsequent plans, which is the most important thing.

But while they wanted to retreat, someone else only wanted to advance!

Even though those who had attacked earlier had already backed down, this one had no intention of letting them go!

"When heroes are absent, scoundrels rise to power."

The voice of Grand Dharma Master Xuandu echoed throughout the heavens and earth, carrying an unyielding indifference.

What is the Tao?

"The Dao is the origin of all things; it is the order of all things."

"You usurp high positions, covet the Heavenly Court, use all spirits as pawns, and sacrifice all living beings. You neither cultivate nor respect the Dao; do you even deserve to be called Dao Lord?"

"Just a petty thief."

"Today I slay your incarnations to serve as a warning to all people under heaven—"

As soon as he finished speaking, he took a step forward.

With this step, he directly ascended to the heavens.

The Great Way is supreme.

"Xuandu, you are far too arrogant!"

The aged voice showed no sign of softening, carrying the Dao Lord's anger.

"We only yielded because we respect your status. Do you really think you can suppress us with just a corpse and a great formation?"

Another voice, filled with murderous intent:

"Let alone your remains, even if Xuandu himself were here, he might not dare to insult us so lightly!"

Of the remaining five great suns, four trembled simultaneously, unleashing a tangible surge of rage, and at that moment chose to join forces.

They are all beings of the Primordial Unity level, supreme beings who look down upon all living beings from beyond the heavens for eternity.

Even if they were wary of this great mage, they were far from fleeing at the mere mention of his name, much more than that they were not without temper!

In an instant, the four great suns surged and fell simultaneously, transforming into four supreme Dharma Aspect that supported the heavens and stood upright. They trod on the Great Dao and filled the entire sky, actually suppressing the four poles of starlight of the Zhou Heaven Star Battle Grand Formation!

The entire Heavenly Court trembled violently at that moment, as if the heavens and earth had been turned upside down.

One of them transformed into boundless lightning, seemingly the source of Dao Source in the world, and roared:

"Since you're not willing to leave any room for maneuver, then let's have a showdown!"

Beyond the heavens.

In a secluded place.

A Daoist priest in red robes sat cross-legged here, his expression solemn. On the stone platform in front of him were a straw figure, two lamps, and a bow and arrow.

The Book of Seven Arrows with Nail Heads!

Even amidst countless calamities, one can still curse and kill enemies invisibly!

Zhao Gongming, the former True Lord of the Mysterious Altar of the Highest Purity School, died under this method!

At this moment, Lu Ya frowned, his expression showing a hint of suspicion.

I originally thought that the Yu Tunzhou was just bait thrown out by the Dao Lineage to deceive people, attract attention, and cover up the reincarnation of the true great Divine Ability being of the Dao Lineage.

But now it seems that Yu Tunzhou's identity is by no means ordinary. He actually has the remains of Xuandu protecting him. If it weren't for some unknown secrets, he would even think that this boy is the reincarnation of Xuandu himself.

... But is it really not Xuandu?

As the thought crossed his mind, Lu Ya half-closed his eyes. Although the Heavenly Court's obstruction this time could not harm their true selves, it also Liaokong all their plans in the Heavenly Court.

He needs to harmonize his mind and body to prepare for the upcoming curse that kills the Yu Tunzhou.

Whoever this person is, in this day and age, no one can escape his Book of Seven Arrows with Nail Heads!

Suddenly.

Lu Ya.

I think I can hear a sound.

But this is his secret slumber place; who could possibly intrude?

"... Lu Ya..."

"... Lu Ya..."

The sound grew clearer and clearer, causing Lu Ya to suddenly open his eyes, his expression serious.

Anything unusual signifies a crisis!

"... Lu Ya... Grandpa is calling you!"

Lu Ya's expression was cold. Even in the ancient Divine Ability, he was among the top in terms of great supernatural powers. He would dare to fight even the true form of Xuandu. What insignificant person would dare to insult him like this?

"Who is it? State your name!" he shouted.

But the next moment, Lu Ya's expression changed drastically.

An incredibly terrifying suction force swept over him, and he felt dizzy as he was instantly swallowed into a small world.

Beyond the secret realm.

A Daoist priest dressed in a golden robe smiled and shook the Purple-Gold Red Gourd in his hand. The gourd was translucent, and starlight shone through its walls, revealing a deep red light inside, as well as a figure struggling desperately.

The Daoist priest, with his arrogant expression and a golden horn on his forehead, deftly affixed the yellow talisman left by Laojun to the mouth of the gourd, and said with a grin:

"Grandpa called you, and you actually dared to answer?"

"Laojun warned you back then that if you ever encountered my Dao Lineage again, you should give way three times over to save your life. You truly are a fool who wouldn't listen to advice!"

After doing all this, the Daoist Gold Horn carefully put the Purple-Gold Red Gourd into his sleeve.

Suppressing such a Divine Ability being is not safe even with talismans; he must be sent to the Eight Trigrams Furnace for suppression as soon as possible.

He turned back and looked towards the Heavenly Court, his gaze filled with emotion.

It's been a long time since I've seen my senior brother's true form, and I wonder how much longer this remains can hold on.

But in any case, that ordeal is over.

After surviving this ordeal, as the teacher said back then, it will be like ascending to a high vantage point, with a smooth and easy path ahead!
