The Stalemate Continues, the Peak Mountain Emperor Lord Stains the Dao!
Two worlds stand in opposition, separated by the two sides of the strait.
Barbarian Bone Pass is now peaceful, with the main body of the Giant Bear Clan, including Shan Yue and Shi Jian, consisting of a total of eight Giant Bear Race Spirit Transformation, guarding this place.
The remaining fifteen Nascent Spirit Transformation are all vassals of the Giant Bear Clan; mainly composed of the Bone Spirit Giant Python, the Profound Water Barbarian Turtle, and the Azure Mountain Spirit-Devouring Beast. These three Spirit Transformation groups are currently the three most powerful clans under the Giant Bear Clan.
Here, they guarded the Barbarian Bone Pass together with the Giant Bear Clan.
In the future, once the war ends, these races will most likely migrate to the Dao Realm to live on, as the current situation in the Beast Realm is tense.
The royal family dominates one region, Peak and Mountain Imperial Clan monopolizes the core area of the Beast Realm.
With many territories already owned, these larger Spirit Transformation clans, naturally the ones who most desire the expansion of the Beast Realm, are those who, for the sake of future development and growth, or to seek more living space.
Therefore, last time, when the Spirit Race army pressed down on the Barbarian Bone Pass...
It was these three Nascent Spirit Transformation from the three races who withstood the pressure and restrained more than ten Nascent Spirit Race Spirit Transformation Race; otherwise, the outcome of the last battle would have been uncertain.
However, the two groups are currently in a standoff.
For these tribes that have reached the Spirit Transformation stage, this is also a great opportunity to stabilize their tribes and consolidate their territories. In addition, the seven passes in the north are connected, forming an insurmountable fortress.
Furthermore, with a continuous influx of spiritual creatures and demons, the entire Barbarian Bone Pass became an impregnable fortress, impossible to breach.
The number of warships stationed here is already over thirty.
Numerous warships stationed in various locations serve as mobile fortresses; barring a major battle between Nascent Spirit Transformation and Golden Core cultivators, the current deployment is sufficient to withstand wars between ordinary Nascent Soul and Golden Core cultivators.
Overall, the war has ceased, and we have returned to the original point of confrontation between the two realms.
Meanwhile, in the heart of the Beast Realm, within the ancestral court of the Peak and Mountain Imperial Clan.
The mountain ranges are layered upon each other, with each peak Yunxiao. The mountains are all earthy yellow, and the great Dao of the earth flows through the rock layers like a pulse.
This mountain range stretches for billions of miles and is the most forbidden area in the Beast Realm.
In the very center of the mountain range, a colossal peak rises alone between heaven and earth, its summit perpetually shrouded in thick, earth-colored clouds.
No cultivator's Divine Sense could penetrate that layer of clouds.
Within the clouds, however, lies a secluded little world.
Peak Mountain Emperor Lord sat cross-legged in the void, his body radiating boundless Earth Dao energy, with the authority of the three major fruit positions circulating alternately within his body.
Earth Virtue, Xuan Tu, Return to Earth.
The Daoist essence of the three fruition levels is like three ancient rivers, flowing endlessly within his body; each represents a facet of the Earth Dao and the great Dao, and each contains the power to transform the world.
The Dao Embryo is supremely powerful, holding the highest position among the three stages of enlightenment.
There are five positions in the Earth Dao. Besides the three he governs, there are two other positions Treasured Earth and Gen Earth, which are vacant.
Leaving aside the Gen Earth Dao Fruit, since this position already has an owner; it has been occupied for a long time by the troublesome Spirit Race.
The true source of this cross-industry battle lies in the Treasured Earth Dao Fruit.
Peak Mountain Emperor Lord has kept his eyes closed for one or two hundred years. During these two hundred years, he has been eroding the Great Dao and cultivating the Treasured Earth.
Although the Treasured Earth Dao Fruit is unclaimed, the position itself is part of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, and is not an empty shell; the Six Dao Immortal Foundation hangs in the void, waiting for a destined person to attain enlightenment and take charge.
As the Earth Dao Embryo, Emperor Fengyue holds the power of the Three Fruits, and his control over the Great Dao of Earth far surpasses that of any other Earth Dao cultivator.
What he needs to do is to use the authority of the Third Fruit Rank as a foundation to infuse his own Daoist essence into the Immortal Foundation of the Treasured Earth Dao Fruit.
This approach is not simply about seeking enlightenment through meditation.
Rather, it is a more thorough form of pollution, like a drop of ink falling into clear water.
One by one, the Immortal Foundation are imprinted with His mark; only in this way can one completely control the Immortal Foundation and then gradually seize control of the entire Treasured Earth.
At this moment, the Earth Dao aura surrounding Peak Mountain Emperor Lord suddenly trembled.
A yellowish-brown radiance continuously emanated from His body. The Daoist essence contained within that radiance was extremely unique, possessing both the weight of Earth Virtue, the transformative power of Xuan Tu, and the ultimate return to Return to Earth.
The three kinds of power and authority intertwined and merged, condensing into an extremely fine thread that probed into the depths of the void.
In the void, a faint, ethereal light and shadow appeared.
That was a phantom image of one of the Six Dao Immortal Foundation of the Treasured Earth Dao Fruit.
[Vast and Broad Earth]
It is the most expansive of the Six Dao Immortal Foundation Immortal Foundation the Treasured Earth Dao Fruit Treasured Earth, possessing vast and profound authority.
Peak Mountain Emperor Lord chose to strike first because the characteristics of the Vast and Broad Earth were most similar to the three positions he held, and the penetration resistance was the least.
The moment that thread touched the Vast and Broad Earth Immortal Foundation, the void trembled slightly.
The surface of the illusory image of the Immortal Foundation was covered with a very faint yellowish-brown color, like a tea stain slowly appearing on a piece of white paper.
Peak Mountain Emperor Lord opened his eyes, and within his Dao pupils, it was as if a vast world was unfolding, with earthen yellow light surging. His eternally calm expression now seemed to reveal a hint of a smile.
It's done.
The Vast and Broad Earth Immortal Foundation had been completely eroded by his Daoist aura.
This means that the Immortal Foundation of Vast and Broad Earth is no longer in a state of complete unclaimed ownership; its underlying layer has been imprinted with the Daoist essence of the Third Fruit of Peak Mountain Emperor Lord.
Anyone who wishes to attain the Treasured Earth Dao Fruit must first condense the Six Dao Immortal Foundation.
After the Vast and Broad Earth is eroded, when the cultivator is condensing this Immortal Foundation, he will encounter interference from the Daoist aura left by Peak Mountain Emperor Lord.
At best, the process will fail to condense; at worst, the foundation of the Dao will be damaged.
What's even more remarkable is that this erosion is insidious.
The one who attains enlightenment will not notice anything when condensing the Immortal Foundation; only when attaining enlightenment can one realize that the Vast and Broad Earth of the Immortal Foundation has changed its nature.
By then, the Immortal Foundation had already been formed, leaving them in a dilemma.
By forcibly consolidating the foundation for enlightenment, Peak Mountain Emperor Lord can shake the Vast and Broad Earth Immortal Foundation at any time, causing the seeker to completely fail at the last moment, or even backfire on himself.
If one abandons the path to immortality, the Immortal Foundation will remain unresolved, and the path to enlightenment will be completely severed.
From the very beginning, the outcome of the great battles in the Dao Realm has not depended on the fighting on the battlefield, nor on temporary gains or losses.
It depends on whether Peak Mountain Emperor Lord can be the first to absorb a Immortal Foundation.
At this moment, everything is empty.
Even if the other party chooses to prove their Dao using the Five Foundations and is fortunate enough not to cultivate this Vast and Broad Earth, their outcome will most likely still be a failure to prove their Dao.
Attaining enlightenment at the Six-Foundation Extreme Realm is incredibly difficult; attempting to attain enlightenment with incomplete five foundations, while still achieving a certain level of attainment, is a perilous endeavor with a nine-out-of-ten chance of failure.
In any case, the Spirit Race's defeat is probably a foregone conclusion.
Peak Mountain Emperor Lord slowly withdrew his Daoist power, and his aura returned to tranquility.
He did not rush to erode the second Immortal Foundation, as the erosion of the Vast and Broad Earth was already sufficient; once this Immortal Foundation was marked, the Bailu Lingyuan would never be able to fully prove the Dao of the Treasured Earth.
Unless the Spirit Race can find a way to break the erosion of the Daoist essence at the Third Fruit level.
But that would be tantamount to confronting the authority of a supreme Dao Embryo, thereby erasing the mark in one's Immortal Foundation; in all the Nine Realms, perhaps only Peak Mountain Emperor Lord himself could accomplish such a feat.
The Emperor slowly rose, and his enormous body materialized in the secret chamber.
It was a colossal beast, its body entirely yellowish-brown, its size immeasurable, resembling a living mountain range; its entire body was covered in rock layers like armor, each rock fragment engraved with Earth Dao patterns.
He raised his hand, and a yellowish-brown jade talisman appeared in the air.
The power of the Great Dao surged forth like a raging torrent; in the next instant, the jade talisman shot out, piercing through the clouds and mountains, flying towards the Dao Realm.
The methods have been left behind; the Earth Virtue Dao Venerable will know what to do next.
