Devour the Soul! Consume the Body!
Boom--!!!
Above the sky, crimson Lei Bao poured down wildly, and endless darkness continuously permeated the heavens and earth; this change came so suddenly that the two Dao Venerable of the Spirit Race clearly had not anticipated such a situation.
But before they could take any further action...
The Bailu Lingyuan, located in the very center of the cocoon of light, let out an extremely shrill scream, as if a thousand insects Heart-Devouring, chilling all living beings to the bone.
Lingyuan desperately tried to stabilize the collapsing Immortal Foundation within his body, but that dark yellow aura clung to him like a maggot.
Following the veins of the Vast and Broad Earth, it frantically eroded the other four Immortal Foundation.
"Your Majesty... that old scoundrel Feng Yue!!"
No!! No!!
"I am not reconciled! I am a prodigy of the Spirit Race, a blood relative of the Dao Ancestor!"
"How can I die here?!"
He roared madly, his eye ruptured, and before the emerald blood could drip, it was instantly evaporated by the violent backlash of the Heavenly Dao.
Fertile and Moist Governance, High Ramparts and Peace, Earth Nurtures Spirit, Mountain Returns Qi.
The four paths were formed by consuming countless resources of the Spirit Race and devouring billions of living beings in the southern part of the Dao Realm Treasured Earth Immortal Foundation.
The moment you touch that dark yellow aura, it's like ice and snow meeting boiling water, collapsing inch by inch!
The chains of Heavenly Dao transformed into a scarlet divine punishment, mercilessly piercing his Dao body; what was originally the guiding light of creation to the Dao Venerable became a deadly calamity that stripped him of his life force...
His full head of white hair was falling out wildly, his plump flesh was withering at a visible speed, and the great principles of reason were leaving him!
The Great Way has crumbled and fallen apart.
"Lingyuan!"
The Fate-Wielding Dao Venerable and the Reverse Life Dao Venerable immediately opened their eyes wide and shouted in unison.
All of this happened so fast that even these two supreme beings who govern the Dao of Life Dao were caught off guard.
The Fate-Wielding Dao Venerable, not bothering to investigate the sudden aura of the Nether River, raised his hand and unleashed a sky full of azure light.
A long, emerald-green river tore through the void, carrying with it the supreme vitality of the Fate-Wielding Dao Fruit, pouring directly into the cocoon of light, attempting to forcibly reconnect the dissipating vitality of the Lingyuan.
The Reverse Life Dao Venerable opened his mouth wide and spat out a pale white Law Seals.
The Law Seals swelled in the wind, transforming into a curtain that blotted out the sky, attempting to withstand the Heavenly Dao blood lightning striking down from above and buy them a sliver of hope.
However, the eerie green will-o'-the-wisps instantly swept over.
"Fellow Daoists, your opponent is none other than myself!"
"Such blatant disregard for me truly breaks my heart, hehehehehe~"
A cold, hoarse voice emanated from the newly formed Gate of the Nine Netherworlds.
The Eternal Darkness Dao Venerable stepped out into the air, and endless darkness engulfed the heavens and earth. He raised his withered, skeletal finger and pointed downwards.
Buzz!
The entire area, spanning millions of miles, was instantly plunged into absolute darkness.
With light stripped away, the deepest rule of [Eternal Darkness] within the Dao of Darkness Path realm subsequently encroaches upon this world, distorting everything.
There was no sound, no light, and even the emerald green river unleashed by the Fate-Wielding Dao Venerable vanished without a trace the moment it touched the darkness, like a mud ox sinking into the sea.
"Eternal Darkness, get out of my way!!"
The Fate-Wielding Dao Venerable unleashed a torrent of fury from his emerald eyes.
The Life Dao Fruit activated wildly, unleashing its full power to Fate Wielding, tearing a dazzling rift open in that Eternal Darkness.
But just as the crack was forming, the figure of the Death Fate Dao Venerable appeared in front of him.
He was entirely gray-white, with a withered face, and carried a broken white bone lantern in his hand.
The lantern swayed slightly, and the aura of death spread out like a tide, forcefully blocking the crack and sealing the heavens and earth.
"Life and death are simply a cycle."
"This ant deserves to die here. You've overstepped your Fate Wielding, you wretch."
The voice of the Death Fate Dao Venerable was hoarse, and the light of the white bone lantern shone brightly, as death and life collided and intertwined in the void.
Each clash caused the vast Marsh Plains below to tremble violently, and void rifts spread wildly in all directions like a spider web.
The two Spirit Race Dao Venerable were firmly restrained and unable to get even half a step closer to the cocoon of light.
At this moment, the Bailu Lingyuan within the cocoon was on the verge of exhaustion.
The five Immortal Foundation were completely shattered.
His body was riddled with holes, and his emerald green blood had dried into ash; the once invincible genius now resembled a desiccated corpse on the verge of decay.
"Save me... Ancestor, save me!!"
He stretched out his skeletal arm, weakly grasping at the void, his voice filled with endless despair and fear.
"What a pure and divine soul! Hahahaha! The foundation of Half-Step Dao Venerable is truly a rare gem in this world!"
A fleeting, wicked laugh suddenly rang in Bailu Lingyuan's ears.
The Profound Soul Dao Venerable manifested.
He had no physical form, only a distorted mass of gray light and mist; from within the light and mist, a pale, transparent hand emerged, ignoring the remaining array barrier and the violent backlash from the Heavenly Dao, and plunged straight into Lingyuan's head.
"You wicked creatures of the Nether River, how dare you... do such a thing..."
"No!!!"
Bailu Lingyuan let out the most piercing scream of his life.
A giant, transparent hand suddenly yanked.
A dazzling soul, radiating a multicolored light yet mixed with a dark yellow aura, was forcibly torn from its physical body by the Profound Soul Dao Venerable.
As the soul departed the body, Lingyuan's screams abruptly ceased, and the withered body fell helplessly downwards.
"Such annihilated souls are truly a delicacy."
The gray light mist of Profound Soul Dao Venerable churned violently, tearing open a void and swallowing the Half-Step Dao Venerable's soul in one gulp.
"As expected of a soul nurtured by the life force of all living beings, even though it has been tainted by the Earth Dao, its pure life force is enough to rival my tens of thousands of years of arduous cultivation!"
"It will further strengthen our clan's Soul Dao, thereby evolving into a new position!"
From within the luminous mist, a trembling sound of utter satisfaction emanated.
On the surface of the soul, distorted faces of living beings faintly appeared; these were the resentments of all living beings that Bailu Lingyuan had once stripped away, which had now become nourishment for Profound Soul Dao Venerable.
After devouring the divine soul, the originally ethereal light mist of Xuanhun Profound Soul Dao Venerable subtly solidified a bit, and the aura of the Soul Dao rose once again.
His soul was extracted.
Bailu Lingyuan's physical body had become an empty shell.
However, this physical body embodies tens of thousands of years of effort from the Spirit Realm, and has devoured the Spirit Vein and life force of countless small clans in the southern part of the Dao Realm.
It itself is a walking, supreme, immortal elixir.
"Hehehehehehe!"
The Nether Domain Dao Venerable let out a strange laugh, and the eerie green ghost fire in his eye sockets pulsed violently, almost bursting out, showing his extreme excitement.
He took a step, traversing endless space, and appeared directly within the remnants of the light cocoon.
The aura of Death Dao transformed into a gray-white bone claw that blotted out the sky, and it grabbed the remains of the Bailu Lingyuan in one swift motion.
"The Spirit Race's great medicine, I gladly accept it!"
The Nether Domain Dao Venerable opened his mouth wide, and his withered face split open into an almost unbelievable arc.
Its mouth was full of sharp, interlocking fangs, gleaming with a chilling light.
Without the slightest hesitation, he stuffed the remains of the Bailu Lingyuan directly into his mouth.
"Snap! Crack! Crunch!"
The sound of bones shattering was particularly jarring and chilling in the deathly silence, like a millstone grinding flesh to shreds.
"You old dog of the Nether River! How dare you!!!"
The Fate-Wielding Dao Venerable and the Reverse Life Dao Venerable were furious, their eyes blazing with rage, their energy completely out of control.
The hope that the Spirit Race had nurtured with countless resources was being devoured and eaten alive right before their eyes!
This utter humiliation enraged the two Dao Venerables of Life.
"Gulp!"
The Nether Domain Dao Venerable chewed deeply, his throat bobbing.
Emerald green sap, brimming with the purest vitality, overflowed from between his interlocking fangs and dripped down his chin.
It was an extremely incongruous yet tense scene.
From the extreme deathly aura, an extreme vitality bursts forth.
On the ashen skin of the Nether Domain Dao Venerable, emerald green blood bubbles rapidly swelled up, as the Death Dao and the Life Dao collided and merged wildly within his body.
Until that immense vitality was forcibly reversed by the aura of Death Dao, transforming into the deepest, most corrupt death energy.
"That felt great! So satisfying!!"
Hahahahahahahahahaha!!!
He roared to the sky, his voice filled with undisguised madness and excitement.
From birth comes death.
Having devoured this physical body, the aura of the Nether Domain Dao Venerable rose at a visible speed; already unfathomable, he now exuded a terrifying pressure that made heaven and earth tremble.
"This is the taste of the Great Elixir of Life Dao!"
"Fate Wielding and Reverse Life —why not let me have a taste, my two fellow Daoists?"
