Joining Forces with the Vast Realm to Counterbalance the Human Realm!
The Vast Realm, Endless Abyss.
Deep beneath the ocean floor, where the light fades, a vortex stretching for tens of thousands of miles slowly rotates. Deep within the vortex lies liquid spiritual Spiritual Qi compressed to its limit, each drop weighing over a thousand pounds.
At the very bottom of the vortex, a colossal creature dwells.
Its massive body was covered in dark blue dragon scales; each scale was inscribed with ancient dragon script, radiating a surging power that made heaven and earth bow down.
That was a true dragon, the supreme race of the Vast Realm.
It is also an ancient lineage that holds the position of [Kan Water] in charge of Water Dao.
The true dragon had been asleep for a long time, and its Spiritual Qi surged like the tide; the entire abyss flickered with light and shadow, and suddenly, the dragon's tightly closed eyes slowly opened.
His vertical pupils, like two Dark Gold suns, swept coldly across the endless darkness.
Beyond the abyss, an aura not belonging to the Vast Realm was slowly seeping in.
The aura was extremely restrained, yet so profound that it shook the heavens and earth; like an ancient, immovable mountain pressing down into the bottomless sea.
The dragon's scales stood up slightly, and its ten-thousand-foot-long body slowly stretched out; the vortex was opened, the seawater surged back, and a dazzling dark blue light curtain suddenly shone brightly in the abyss.
"Rock Beast of the Beast Realm, what brings you here?"
The dragon's roar was like thunder, causing the entire sea to tremble violently.
In response, a slowly condensing Dharma image appeared.
The earthen-yellow light gradually took shape from nothingness, transforming into a humanoid phantom thousands of feet tall, with churning earth around its body and the earth itself growing beneath its feet.
Even at the bottom of the ocean, solid soil actually formed beneath the Dharma image's feet.
In the Beast Realm, the Dao Venerable Return to Earth.
The Dharma form has no face; it is only a dense mass of Earth Dao -based primordial energy that serves as its head; two points of dark yellow light serve as its eyes.
The true dragon and the Dharma form faced each other across a vortex tens of thousands of miles apart, their two powerful forces colliding silently in the abyss; the seawater was squeezed and shattered into nothingness.
"I have come here not for conflict."
When the Dharma form of the Returning Earth Dao Venerable spoke, his voice was ancient, deep, and unwavering, without the slightest emotional fluctuation.
The dragon narrowed its eyes slightly and did not answer; its vertical pupils were full of vigilance and scrutiny.
Returning Earth Dao Venerable was not in a hurry; he simply raised one hand.
Within his palm, a wisp of extremely pure Dao of the Physical Body energy slowly emerged; that energy contained a kind of primal Savage Wilderness power, exuding an overbearing aura that could crush all things.
It is the Qi mechanism of the [Barbarian Bone] fruit position.
The dragon's vertical pupils suddenly contracted. Having lived for countless millennia, it naturally recognized the origin of this aura...
The four stages of the Dao of the Physical Body include [Barbarian Bone]; however, very few members of the True Dragon Clan have ever touched this path.
"The E Gu is about to prove itself."
The Returning Earth Dao Venerable calmly stated, "After successful attainment, he can impart the Six Dao Immortal Foundation below the [Barbarian Bone] fruit level."
"The six fundamental methods under the Barbarian Bone can be practiced by all the lineages of the True Dragon in the future."
The true dragon remained silent for a very long time, with only the low rumble of the swirling vortex echoing in the abyss; such generosity in allowing a foreign race to cultivate clearly indicated that it had something in mind.
"What do you want?" Kan Water Dragon Venerable finally asked, his voice unconsciously lowering a few degrees.
"Checks and balances," Returning Earth Dao Venerable uttered.
The Kan Water Dragon Venerable moved slightly, its ten-thousand-foot-tall body slowly circling in the abyss; the movement was extremely slow, yet it carried a pressure that made heaven and earth tremble.
"Mystic Realm? Human Realm?"
"Yes, all of them."
Another long silence followed.
The two Dao Venerable beings no longer communicated with words; between the Dharma Form and the True Dragon, divine thoughts clashed back and forth like a tide; countless pieces of information were transmitted in an instant.
The Mystic Realm's [Sword Origin] Dao Venerable has already made a move, sending someone to contact the Human Realm's [Immortal Slayer] Dao Venerable, although it is unknown whether the Immortal Slayer will ultimately intervene.
However, disciples under the Sword Origin Dao Venerable Daoist cultivate the physical body, using sword bones to cultivate the Savage Valley, which is fundamentally in conflict with proving the Dao with E Gu.
If the two realms join forces to obstruct the Dao, even with the eight Dao Venerable of the Beast Realm in charge, they will have to devote their energy to dealing with it.
The True Dragon Clan and the Beast Realm have no deep-seated hatred for each other.
But when it comes to interests, there's never a need for hatred as a catalyst.
It is unknown what the two deities discussed, but in the end Kan Water Dragon Venerable slowly withdrew his dragon might, and his ten-thousand-foot-tall body once again coiled in the depths of the vortex.
"Two Dao Venerable can Human Realm."
Kan Water Dragon Venerable finally compromised, his tone extremely indifferent; the [Barbarian Bone] path was open, and the temptation was simply too great.
The True Dragon Clan Water Dao, possessing formidable physical bodies, yet they consistently lack a systematic inheritance of the Dao of the Physical Body; if they could attain enlightenment through E Gu and obtain the cultivation method of the Six Dao Immortal Foundation...
For the entire True Dragon Clan, that was a completely new path.
The Dharma image of the Returning Earth Dao Venerable nodded slightly.
"The contract is complete; I shall take my leave."
The Dharma image slowly dissipated, Earth Dao energy receded like the tide; the abyss returned to darkness and silence.
The Dragon Lord sat alone at the bottom of the vortex, the Dark Gold light in his vertical pupils flickering uncertainly; after a moment, he opened his mouth and exhaled a breath of dragon fire.
The dragon's breath silently pierced through the bottomless sea and into the vast Vast Realm.
Before long, in the depths of the Vast Realm East Sea the North Sea, two equally terrifying auras awakened one after another, awaiting the opportune moment.
North of the ancestral homeland of the Giant Bear Clan in the Beast Realm lies a vast wilderness.
A gray vulture demon immortal in the Early Spirit Transformation was flying over the wasteland at an extremely fast speed; it had suppressed its aura to the extreme, almost merging with the surrounding Heaven and Earth Qi Dynamic; its escape technique was so exquisite that even an ordinary Spirit Transformation immortal might not be able to detect it.
In his hand, he held a dark gray jade talisman.
The jade talisman contained all the information about E Gu's attainment of enlightenment gathered in the Beast Realm over the past three months.
The Giant Bear Clan's troop deployment, the attitudes of the Eight Great Dao Venerable, the list of suppressed minor clans, and even the approximate location of E Gu's seclusion...
Everything, big or small, was engraved into it.
As long as it's sent out of the Beast Realm and handed over to that person in the Mystic Realm...
Gray Vulture thought to himself, a cold smile curving his lips; if that old bear E Gu were to become Barbarian Bone, the Giant Bear Clan would be elevated to royalty; at that time, the allocation of resources throughout the entire Beast Realm would be reshuffled.
He wasn't pledging allegiance to anyone; he simply didn't want to see this happen.
After all, his clan also cultivated the six Immortal Foundation under the Barbarian Bone Dao Fruit; if the E Gu attained enlightenment, their clan would have no further chance.
Even in the future, they will either have to submit and become servants under the Barbarian Bone Dao Fruit, or have their mark erased by the Fruit Master.
This led to the near annihilation of the entire community overnight.
The gray eagle's speed suddenly increased, and its escape light almost turned into an invisible gray line.
But in that very instant...
The earth beneath their feet silently cracked open; the entire wasteland surged up as if alive, transforming into a gigantic, earthen-yellow hand that blotted out the sky.
The giant hands came together.
Before the gray vulture could even utter a scream, it was crushed into dust by the extremely heavy source of Earth Dao.
The Nascent Soul shattered, the Spirit Transformation body disintegrated, and the divine soul was crushed inch by inch by the Earth Dao's might, ultimately turning into a sky full of bloody light, and the Dao perished here.
The dark gray jade talisman fell from the ashes.
Before it even landed, it was held in place by an invisible force and suspended in mid-air.
From the depths of the wasteland, an aged voice echoed.
"That's the seventh one."
His voice was calm, yet it carried a casual killing intent.
The earth closed up again, and the wasteland returned to its original state, as if nothing had ever happened.
