Dao and Virtue Suppress the World
The river surged, its roar like thunder.
Under that unrestrained and domineering aura, the great formation covering dozens of miles was instantly broken, and the imprisoned spiritual energy of heaven and earth surged in all directions like a wild horse.
Xiao Rong, who was at the center of the formation, coughed up blood and collapsed to the ground. The illusory image of the seal floating above his head also shattered and dissipated.
Upon witnessing this scene, Tantai Yinghu's eyelids twitched, and without hesitation, he retreated into the Void, widening the distance between himself and Yu Tunzhou.
This means that the scene before them has exceeded the expectations of the Jixia Academy!
It's not in the future these guys are predicting at all!
This young man has indeed reached the Dharma Aspect level of combat power, contrary to their previous speculation that the true mastermind Northern Plains was Jiang Wenxuan.
Next, all that's left is to wait for Emperor Tianshun to make his move.
Shen Jie transformed into a blood mist and fled, covering more than ten miles in the blink of an eye. He was exerting all his strength and was about to escape the range of the Yu Tunzhou Fist Intent.
If he were to die, Blood River Dao would be reduced to a state where it couldn't even produce a Quasi-Grandmaster. He absolutely could not die here!
Thinking of this, Shen Jie felt nothing but sorrow in addition to shock and anger.
Not long ago, Blood River Dao was ambitious and tried to catch up with the Heavenly Demon Sect, but in less than a year, everything has been lost and they have fallen to this state.
If it weren't for the intervention of that person from the Heavenly Demon Sect, who forced the Six Paths of Evil and Demons to send at least one expert to deal with the Daoist and Buddhist sects, he would probably have already retreated into the mountains and temporarily lay low with the entire Blood River Dao.
Suddenly.
Shen Jie's body stiffened abruptly.
A majestic and awe-inspiring will awakened within him, or perhaps—descended upon him?
This will, majestic, noble, and vast, is rapidly replacing and assimilating him. Even though he is at the External Scenery Fourth Layer and his Primordial Spirit has retreated into the Purity of the Void, he still cannot escape it.
This is----
Kou Ziling had previously promised them a backup plan to protect them!
"Kou Ziling!!!"
A roar of resentment exploded in mid-air, but was abruptly suppressed by that will in the next moment.
Shen Jie, who had been fleeing for his life, suddenly stopped. When he opened his eyes again, his eyes had turned golden, and a mighty aura, like the power of heaven, surged from his body.
The surrounding area, spanning dozens of miles, became thick and heavy at that moment, as if it were filled with some enormous creature.
This way.
Yu Tunzhou, standing alone between heaven and earth, stirring up the winds and clouds with its own energy and Fist Intent.
The entire Coming Dragon River was churning violently. Under the crushing force of the Fist Intent, the river water split open, revealing Jiang Linfan frantically fleeing below.
Yu Tunzhou his sleeve, and with a flick of his sleeve, it seemed to release a chaotic world, ignoring distance, to take Jiang Linfan into it.
"Universe in the Sleeve?!"
Jiang Linfan, who came from a prominent family, recognized the legendary divine Divine Ability at a glance. He was both shocked and furious, and had no choice but to turn around and throw a punch. His acupoints opened up, and countless divine projections appeared, majestic and awe-inspiring.
After becoming Grandmaster, his attempt to merge paths was not the common Immortal Dao, but the Divine Dao!
A series of divine phantoms floated around him, attacking alongside him. The divine light was brilliant, and the power of this attack far surpassed that of the previous ones, instantly engulfing the Void. In terms of sheer power, this attack had reached the level of Dharma Aspect body!
After that punch, Jiang Linfan groaned, suffering a backlash that weakened his aura. He hadn't fully integrated this path yet and was still exploring it, so every move he made came at a great cost.
Once he succeeds, he will be able to overcome the barrier to entering the Dharma Aspect realm, and will be able to advance in the Martial Dao or retreat to the Divine Dao.
But the premise----
Today we are able to escape from Yu Tunzhou!
Sensing that Tantai Yinghu's aura had already fled far away and retreated into the Void, Jiang Linfan cursed inwardly.
But as the terrifying aura above pressed down, he had no choice but to muster his strength to fight against the Yu Tunzhou and find a way to escape.
He attempted to suppress Yu Tunzhou with his nascent Dharma Aspect form, but was shocked to discover that this boy had also opened up his Dharma Domain. Even though it was not yet fully developed, it was enough to withstand the crushing influence of his own Dharma Domain.
What kind of breakthrough speed is this?!
Unless he resorts to Divine Dao means, he has no way to contend with Yu Tunzhou right now.
Even if he resorted to Divine Dao means, it would only delay his death. Each move would result in a backlash against him, and he still couldn't change the situation.
This situation----
It's like facing a Dharma Aspect master on the Heaven Ranking!
Not far away.
Mo Shougui collapsed to the ground, watching the figure in the green robe stand proudly between heaven and earth, slaughtering Earth Ranking as easily as killing chickens and dogs, while Jiang Linfan, who was being chased, fled in a sorry state. For a moment, he couldn't tell if this was real or a hallucination before his death.
The scenes of the past are still vivid in my mind.
He once represented certain Aristocratic Clan in the town, trying to recruit Yu Tunzhou and persuade him to recognize the current situation. He argued that even if one could disregard the power struggles among the major Aristocratic Clan while in the celestial realm, what would happen after leaving the celestial realm?
Once you reach the outside world, how should you conduct yourself?
In today's Aristocratic Clan, how many powerful families can this man even look at seriously?
Mo Shougui's gaze was unfocused. Could it be that he had really miscalculated back then?
If you strike a rock and find fire, and then encounter wild grass, it will ignite a prairie fire.
But the fire was simply too big, and it spread too quickly, so fierce that even the combined efforts of all the Aristocratic Clan in the land could Indestructible.
"Yu Tunzhou, how dare you kill a high-ranking official of the Great Yuan?!"
A furious roar of defiance echoed across the river.
Jiang Linfan state, with multiple injuries; if this continued, it was only a matter of time before he died.
At that very moment.
A golden light came from afar, like a ladder to heaven, Tongtian.
Amidst the golden light, a figure slowly walked in, its majestic and imposing aura suppressing everything present, instantly quelling all the commotion.
The surging waves of the Coming Dragon River subsided, and the scattered and turbulent spiritual energy of heaven and earth returned to its proper place after the formation was broken.
It was as if the moment this person arrived, all things in heaven and earth would bow down in submission!
Welcome, Your Majesty!
Xiao Rong was the first to kneel down, his forehead pressed against the soil.
After this person appeared, Jiang Linfan finally had a chance to catch his breath. He was initially surprised and delighted, but his expression quickly turned ugly, not much better than when he was being chased by Yu Tunzhou.
Yu Tunzhou squinted and looked over, only to see that the newcomer was dressed in imperial robes and wore a twelve-tassel crown, clearly the attire of an emperor.
The projection of that Peerless Imperial Lord has descended?
A guess instantly formed in his mind.
At this moment, the figure had already landed here, no more than a hundred feet away from the Yu Tunzhou. Under the twelve-tassel crown, the face of a middle-aged man was revealed. His face was simple and ancient, and he exuded an imposing aura without anger.
"Emperor Tianshun?!"
Mo Shougui below gasped in shock.
He never expected that the Great Yuan Dynasty's backup plan would be this person!
And judging from Emperor Tianshun's aura at this moment----
Dharma Aspect? Immortals and Gods?!
How is that possible!
Mo Shougui in horror.
When this person ascended the throne, he didn't even step into the External Scenery!
etc----
Mo Shougui was suddenly jolted, realizing he had guessed the answer.
At the same time, facing the mighty and majestic Yu Tunzhou, and hearing Mo Shougui's horrified voice, his heart was also stirred.
That Emperor Tianshun?
He actually possesses strength comparable to Immortals and Gods?
"Yu Tunzhou!"
A middle-aged man, suspected to be Emperor Tianshun, spoke, his voice like that of an emperor, possessing an authority that commanded the submission of all things in heaven and earth, "Are you willing to join the Great Yuan and serve me?"
Before Yu Tunzhou could speak, Mo Shougui's urgent voice rang out. "Human Dao Fortune!"
"He received the blessing of the Central Plains 'Human Dao Fortune!"
"Never engage him in direct combat! Otherwise, you will be going against Human Dao and the entire Central Plains! You will be rejected by the very Heavenly Dao of the Central Plains."
At this moment, Mo Shougui finally understood the source of the confidence that the Great Yuan and the Divine Capital Aristocratic Clan dared to challenge both the Daoist and Buddhist schools of the world.
It's not the hidden resources of the Divine Capital Aristocratic Clan in the blessed lands and grotto heavens, but rather the Human Dao Fortune!
Emperor Tianshun actually merged with the Human Dao Fortune that only the Old Wang could control in the past!
In the past, when the Old Wang first entered the Dharma Aspect, he was able to suppress the Golden Immortal remains of the Divine Capital Aristocratic Clan head-on with the Human Dao Fortune. Even though the latter was far inferior to a normal Golden Immortal, it still surpassed that of an ordinary True Immortal.
The most defying aspect of this thing is that to be an enemy of it is to be an enemy of Human Dao and the Central Plains!
At this moment, Yu Tunzhou also received a warning from Huntian, similar to the words of Mo Shougui.
"Human Dao Fortune?"
He gazed intently and saw that the other person's aura was as deep and boundless as the sea, as if every move represented the will of the entire world.
Facing this person gives one the feeling of facing the entire vast universe, making one involuntarily feel an overwhelming sense of powerlessness.
The figure in the imperial robes remained calm and composed, his golden eyes looking down at him with a haughty gaze.
"I will ask one more time."
His voice rang out again, devoid of any emotion, each word shaking the heavens and earth. "Yu Tunzhou, are you willing to join the Great Yuan and serve me?"
"Your Majesty!" Xiao Rong knelt on the ground, unable to hold back his words, "This boy is filled with murderous intent and is not destined for us. He will surely become a threat to us in the future. He must not be allowed to live!"
The next moment, Xiao Rong was struck as if by lightning, his whole body trembled violently, and he felt as if he had been pressed into the mud by an invisible force.
"Noisy."
Emperor Tianshun said in a detached tone, "Both I and the Immortal Ancestor possess the magnanimity to embrace all people under heaven."
Yu Tunzhou suddenly laughed.
"Emperor Tianshun, I heard that you changed your surname and recognized a new ancestor?"
The moment those words were spoken, the world fell into a deathly silence.
Only the loud laughter of the Yu Tunzhou echoed between heaven and earth.
Not to mention Xiao Rong face was deathly pale.
Even Tantai Yinghu, who had already retreated to a distance, looked over with disbelief.
Of those present, only Jiang Linfan wore a cold smile, but it wasn't directed at Yu Tunzhou.
Emperor Tianshun was silent for a moment, the light in his gilded eyes dimmed for a second, and then suddenly burst forth, his scorching and imposing majesty silencing heaven and earth.
"Ignorant child!"
"If you want to die, I will grant your wish!"
His angry voice was like rolling thunder, echoing throughout the heavens and earth.
Emperor Tianshun raised his hand and pressed down with a palm. The entire Coming Dragon River instantly sank several feet, the rocks on both banks collapsed, and the primordial energy of heaven and earth seemed to weep mournfully.
A massive golden handprint pressed down, obscuring the sky and the sun. The palm lines were as clear as mountains and rivers, one of which was clearly the outline of the 8,000-mile -Coming Dragon River!
With a single palm strike, it felt as if the entire Central Plains were pressing down!
"Good timing!"
Yu Tunzhou laughs loudly, and instead of retreating, advances.
He took a step forward, and the river beneath his feet burst into towering waves hundreds of feet high. The river, which had calmed and closed, split open again, spreading outwards from his feet as if heaven and earth were making way for him.
The previously unrestrained Fist Intent and energy were all gathered and merged into the fist at this moment.
The power seemed much weaker than before, but this punch still sent chills down Jiang Linfan.
Wherever the fist passed, it was as if the heavens and earth were being created. The primordial energy of heaven and earth that had been stripped away by Emperor Tianshun was ignited by the Fist Intent, and like a prairie fire, it burned away all the constraints in the Void.
The moment the fist imprint and the palm imprint collided, the Void within a hundred feet above the Coming Dragon River completely collapsed!
The air currents between heaven and earth were torn into countless turbulent currents, the river water surged upwards and turned into torrential rain that poured down on both banks, leaving the mountains and forests in a mess.
The figure in the imperial robes swayed slightly, a look of surprise and doubt flashing in his golden eyes.
This child----
How could it possibly shake someone whose Human Dao Fortune?!
The Yu Tunzhou and tumbled backwards until it reached the surface of the river before regaining its balance.
In the brief moment of their exchange, he felt as if the entire world was rejecting him, and even the divine favor bestowed upon him dissipated in an instant.
In an instant, he became an enemy of the Central Plains!
"Is this the Human Dao Fortune?"
Yu Tunzhou's aura not only did not decrease but increased, becoming even more intense.
The Central Plains are currently ruled by Human Dao, and theoretically no one can defeat them. However, the opponent is not a true being, and the Human Dao Fortune has also been limited.
Yu Tunzhou instantly came up with a solution.
As the thought flashed through his mind, specks of black and white began to appear in his eyes.
Just as Emperor Tianshun was about to make another move, his expression suddenly changed. He was startled to realize that the projection of himself that had descended here was fluctuating, as if it had been affected by some kind of...
The invisible Dao suppresses.
But how is that possible!
Yu Tunzhou his fist, accompanied by black and white energy. All the laws, primordial energy, and light in the world converged on him at this moment, yet he seemed to repel them all.
His mind and body were relaxed and clear, his eyes were deep and indifferent. As soon as he started practicing Taijiquan, a vast Fist Intent spread out like a tide, transforming into a field of the Great Dao, which could encompass everything and all things from the very source.
In an instant.
Black and white appeared beneath his feet, intertwining and cycling endlessly to form a giant yin-yang symbol that stretched for dozens of miles.
Since Northern Plains promoted the New Martial Arts, Yu Tunzhou's Qi of Dao and Virtue has been increasing day by day.
At this moment, using his own Dharma Domain as a foundation, he pushed forward from Wuji to Taiji, evolving a Taiji Dao Domain.
In the arena, the laws of heaven and earth and the primordial energy influenced by Emperor Tianshun were all reshaped at this moment, returning to their most original form.
Emperor Tianshun intervened, but he was unable to interfere with or influence the development of this field. The latter was like the origin of the Great Dao between heaven and earth, and it was impossible to interfere without equal power.
He was shocked. What kind of power could even he, who controlled the Human Dao Fortune, not be able to interfere with?!
Dozens of miles away, Tantai Yinghu, who had retreated far away after seeing the situation was not right, looked solemn and tried to step into this area to find out what kind of method Yu Tunzhou was using.
But as he stepped inside, the doubt between his brows deepened.
Because this field contained no suppression, even his own Martial Dao seemed to become more "active" while he was in it.
In a daze, some of his past doubts about cultivation were explained at this moment, and some obstacles were loosened.
He suddenly looked up, remembered Yu Tunzhou's identity, and guessed the source of this power.
This is Dao and Virtue Suppress the World!
No matter how glorious and prosperous Human Dao may be, it is ultimately just one era in the cycle of heaven and earth, and one protagonist.
Dao and Virtue Suppress the World, however, represents the fundamental stage of the universe after the transition from "nothingness" to "existence." It is the foundation upon which the Three Pure Ones establish themselves, encompassing all the "eras" and "protagonists" during this period.
The field created by Yu Tunzhou was not intended to suppress the enemy, but to restore everything to its original state. However, it achieved a similar effect, causing the imbalance of Human Dao Fortune and the turmoil of heaven and earth to disappear in this space!
Tantai Yinghu's brow twitched.
If he wasn't mistaken, Emperor Tianshun was merely a projection descending to earth; even if his true body was aligned with the Human Dao Fortune, it was impossible for him to leave the Divine Capital.
Now that the extreme suppression of Human Dao Fortune is gone----
He's probably only slightly stronger than Grandmaster!
And the result was exactly as he had predicted.
After losing the suppression of Human Dao Fortune, Emperor Tianshun suffered almost a series of defeats, showing only a slight improvement over Jiang Linfan.
Yu Tunzhou Fuyao like a roc, throwing a punch that contained his invincible belief in the world. How could Emperor Tianshun, who relied on external forces and was not skilled in Martial Dao!
In less than twenty rounds, Yu Tunzhou tore apart Emperor Tianshun's protective aura and blasted his body apart!
The Divine Capital, the imperial palace.
On the throne, Emperor Tianshun suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze filled with shock and rage, and let out a thunderous roar that echoed throughout the palace, "Yu Tunzhou!"
"Your Majesty, please calm your anger."
A gentle voice came from the side, easing Emperor Tianshun's shock and anger.
Emperor Tianshun turned his head to look at Kou Ziling, a hint of apprehension in his heart.
Even now, though he possesses the Human Dao Fortune, he still feels he cannot see through the person before him.
He took a deep breath. "Grand Preceptor, why can't my Human Dao Fortune suppress Yu Tunzhou?"
"Yu Tunzhou?" Kou Ziling's smile faded slightly. "Is it that person from Northern Plains? Please, Your Majesty, clarify the specific circumstances at that time."
Emperor Tianshun hastily explained what had happened not long ago.
Kou Ziling said thoughtfully, "It sounds like this young man is suppressing His Majesty's Human Dao Fortune with his Qi of Dao and Virtue. It seems that his martial arts training in the Northern Plains was actually a premeditated scheme to refine his Qi of Dao and Virtue."
Emperor Tianshun roared in fury, "This brat taught martial arts in the Northern Plains just to refine the Qi of Dao and Virtue and suppress the Human Dao Fortune?! He is indeed a traitorous minister! Kill him! Immediately send men to wipe out the Northern Plains!!"
Why must Your Majesty be angry?
Kou Ziling smiled reassuringly and said, "This battle has shown that His Majesty has now initially merged with the Human Dao Fortune. Even while in the palace, he can manifest himself to kill enemies thousands of miles away. All he needs is a sufficient physical body."
"Once His Majesty further aligns with the Human Dao Fortune, I fear even a physical body will no longer be needed, and truly the entire world will be His Majesty's land."
"As a descendant of the Grand Purity lineage, it's normal for Yu Tunzhou to possess such abilities. Your Majesty need not be alarmed. The main focus now should be on increasing your integration with the Qi."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Tianshun's expression softened slightly.
Indeed, his current integration with the Human Dao Fortune is less than one tenth!
According to the Immortal Ancestor, as long as the fusion reaches more than 30%, let alone Yu Tunzhou, even the Grand Preceptor in front of him would not be a match for him!
Suddenly.
Emperor Tianshun's expression, which had just calmed down, suddenly changed drastically. He abruptly stood up and looked south in disbelief.
"Why has my divine Human Dao Fortune —not returned?!"
