The Contest of the Dao of Wood (I)
The Spirit Ancestor's eternally calm face was now filled with overwhelming killing intent. He raised a colossal hand that was entirely woven from Immortality Divine Vine.
They were about to tear apart the boundary, forcefully break through the void and enter the Vast Realm, thus blocking this heaven-defying path to enlightenment!
However, the moment his giant hand touched the void boundary river...
"Buzz!!"
In the far west, a vast, boundless, and indestructible chaotic golden light suddenly transformed into a gigantic [Metal Slayer] Heavenly Halberd, hundreds of millions of feet long, which cleaved through the void and severed the rift in the void!
After the Heavenly Halberd, the cold and aloof face of the Golden Origin Imperial Lord Jinyuan of the Mystic Realm was revealed:
"Spirit Emperor, in this age of great strife, everyone depends on their fortuitous opportunity."
"You've overreached yourself! Withdraw your hand!"
"Jinyuan! Have you gone mad?! How dare you collude with the demonic dragon?!" The Spirit Emperor was furious, and the Sacred Flame of Myriad Spirits burned down the void for thousands of miles.
"Collusion?"
From the depths of the void, a lazy, eerie laugh suddenly echoed again.
Immediately afterwards, large swaths of turbulent primal energy transformed into viscous swamps, pouring wildly into the void rifts.
Two enormous, star-like phantoms of ancient beasts floated at the edge of spacetime; they were none other than the Three Returns Dao Venerable and the True Qi Dao Venerable of the Measure Realm!
"Spirit Emperor, stop barking like a dog."
The three colossal beasts flipped over, their massive tails shattering the net of Life Dao and death. "You take people's money, you solve their problems."
"Since there are juniors blocking this door today, you, as the venerable master of the Life Dao, should just stay in the Spirit Realm and enjoy the cool air. Don't make things difficult for the younger generation!"
at the same time.
The Heaven Realm, at the very top of the nine heavens, the Great Wind Heavenly Palace.
"Snap!"
Feng Xiaoting, who was originally reclining on the throne of the Nine Heavens, pretending to be asleep with his eyes closed, had his blue-gold throne shatter into pieces on the spot!
He stared wide-eyed at the vast blue light that pierced through the endless void and illuminated the heavens. He felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave, and a suffocating dizziness rose from the depths of his soul.
"Wood Virtue... has become Dao Embryo?!"
Feng Xiaoting screamed, his handsome, flawless face contorted into a grotesque grimace. "Water-born wood-formed, the True Dragon Clan, dares to possess two Dao Embryo?!"
Dual Dao Embryo!!
Looking across the Nine Realms, only the Space Heaven Clan, relying on the two supreme Daos of [Yu] and [Feng], possesses two supreme Dao Embryo: the Space Emperor and the Heavenly Emperor.
Fang Neng has suppressed all others and firmly sat on the throne of the supreme overlord of the Nine Realms for hundreds of thousands of years!
But now, that seemingly harmless, docile sea loach has secretly and under the noses of everyone, using water to nurture wood and cultivate a new supreme master of the Dao of Wood!
One family has two supreme experts, and they are both supreme experts of the Five Elements Dao Embryo!
There are also seven supreme Dao Venerable!
Once Wood Virtue advances to the Dao Embryo, the positions of Wood Virtue, Xun Wood, Geng Wood Mu will become vacant again, which the True Dragon Clan can then fill, granting them the three Dao of Wood Fruit positions of Mu.
By then, the True Dragon Clan will have two Dao Embryo Supremes and at least ten Dao Venerable!
In that instant, the weight of the Vast Realm surged from sixth place to the very top of the Nine Realms with overwhelming force, standing shoulder to shoulder with the Heaven Realm!
It might even be slightly stronger than the Heaven Realm!
"Deploy troops! Deploy troops immediately!!"
Feng Xiaoting roared almost frantically, "Where are the Thirty-Six Heavenly Wind Guards?! Shatter the boundary barrier! We cannot allow him to completely merge!!"
"Ting'er, step back."
A majestic, grand sigh, yet tinged with an indescribable weariness, suddenly echoed above the celestial palace.
As the divine light dissipated, a supreme figure clad in the Myriad Winds Emperor's Robe appeared in the void—the true form of the Heavenly Emperor Yu Tian Imperial Clan!
The Heavenly Emperor stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the towering Dragon Emperor's image beyond the vast Vast Realm canopy, and the four malevolent water-powered swords lying between the sea and sky. He slowly shook his head.
"It's too late."
"The Dragon Emperor transformed himself into a realm, drawing the waters of the four seas to unite with the Dao and protect the Dharma, while the Imperial Lord Jinyuan and the colossal beast of the Measure Realm guarded the throat."
The tide has turned...
The Heavenly Emperor closed his eyes, his fingers slowly clenching in his sleeves, his tone heavy as iron:
"Order the border guards to tighten their defenses."
"Order the thirty-six guards that, from this day forward, for the next ten thousand years, upon seeing the True Dragon of the Vast Realm, they shall retreat three steps and refrain from provoking it again."
In the Human Realm, Hidden Sword Dao Palace.
The Immortal Slayer Dao Venerable, who had just closed his eyes, suddenly opened them again.
The ancient bronze sword emitted a mournful cry, and the muscles on the old man's withered face twitched slightly. After a long while, he exhaled a long, frustrated breath.
"The Dragon Race... their scheming is truly profound."
"All Sword Under Heaven, heed my command: Seal the mountain... for another three thousand years!"
In the Beast Realm, in the far west, the Giant Bear Clan resides in the Western Divine Firmament Plain.
At the summit of Divine Firmament Peak, the brothers Shi Xiao and Shi Lei suddenly stood up, gazing at the terrifying phenomenon in the eastern sky where the sky was filled with rising clouds, dyeing the entire heavens a vibrant green, and remained speechless for a long time.
"Brother..."
For the first time, a deep sense of apprehension and horror surfaced in Shi Lei's usually calm and composed narrow eyes.
"The true dragon of the Vast Realm has been hiding so deeply."
"With two Dao Embryo emerging in the world, the chessboard of the Nine Realms is about to be completely overturned."
Shi Xiao's hair stood on end, and lightning crackled uncontrollably around him, yet his eyes burned as fiercely as two raging flames.
"So what if it's overturned?!"
Shi Xiao sneered, turning his head to look in the direction of the Profound Lightning Ancestral Court, his eyes filled with arrogance and fighting spirit:
"Dragons can use water to nourish wood, thus achieving their ultimate dominance."
"After Father emerged from the abyss and took control of the Central Heaven Divine Firmament, our Giant Bear Lineage used the Barbarian Bone and Thunder Dao of Lightning to temper our Root Bone and bones."
"We too shall shatter the heavens and contend with the true dragons and phoenixes of all races for the eternal order of the universe!!"
"If one day my father can ascend to the Dao of Lightning Dao Embryo, Ancestor Egu can ascend to the Supreme Dao of the Physical Body, our clan can also forge a new path and dominate a region!"
And at this very moment.
Billions of miles away, in the deepest part of the Profound Lightning Ancestral Court, in the Ten-Thousand-Zhang Transformation Lei Yuan.
Immersed in the seventh level of extreme lightning for over a hundred years, Shi Jian Jian's terrifying Lightning Bear body, as large as Shan Yue, suddenly trembled at this moment!
Within his body, the previously slow-progressing fourth Immortal Foundation [Radiant Yang Lightning] seemed to be stimulated by some kind of the Unseen, mysterious force as it sensed the extremely violent wood-generating-water energy in the world.
"Boom!!"
The pure yang dawn breaks, the blazing sun scorches the sky!
The nine-colored lightning magma of the entire Ten-Thousand-Zhang Lightning Abyss roared and spun in an instant, transforming into a huge vortex that poured entirely into the brow of the white-robed figure!
The fierce, blood-red eyes that had been closed for over a hundred years suddenly opened amidst the endless thunderous magma!
Two beams of blazing white divine light, tearing through the chaos, traversed the endless void and coldly gazed at the soaring azure Azure Dragon in the east.
"The True Dragon Forms the Dao Embryo..."
Deep within the abyss, a deep, hoarse, demonic voice, like the low growl of an ancient Gods and Devils, silently resounded amidst endless Lei Bao:
"Then my fourth foundation of the Divine Firmament should also be... complete!"
