Wind Calamity Dao Fruit [Calamity-Bringing Soul-Destroying Tribulation-Crossing Wind], the Oriole Behind
This action immediately caused a change in the immortal position. After clearly sensing the opponent's Heavenly Realm Two Kun and Two Zhen, they showed a sense of rejection. However, the method of ascending to the throne by dragging the heavens had already been used and could not be interrupted.
Zhang Huang burned his own life force and reached the fourth level of the Heavenly Realm, condensing a unique immortal essence intertwined with Kunzhen, and rushed straight into the immortal position, igniting a struggle.
At this moment, in the distant battlefield of Great Void, the constellation Mars shone Yinghuo. A blazing divine spear and a scorching divine fire pierced straight through the two True Lords, [Astral Wind] and [Evil Gu Wind], shattering their Dharma Manifestation.
This time, however, the opponent did not dare to return to their immortal position to await Repair, but instead vanished into the Great Void.
The attacker's Dharma Manifestation hand reached out and grabbed the two immortals, extracting layers of concepts, imagery, and authority.
The images and authority of [destruction][erosion][cutting], [confusion][disturbance][distortion] converge and change under the power of the Daoist cultivation and authority that even the True Lords present found unbelievable.
A brand new Wind-Riding Dao Fruit was discovered by True Lord of Fire Virtue, who then burst into hearty laughter and announced it to all directions.
"I, Li Zhu, have today attained the Wind Calamity Dao Fruit, namely, [Calamity-Bringing Soul-Destroying Tribulation-Crossing Wind], establishing the Dao lineage of Calamity and Tribulation, for the evil deeds of the world, causing calamities and initiating tribulations. Countless living beings who chant my name will have the opportunity to escape calamities and avoid tribulations."
This announcement shocked the True Lords present, who were filled with a thousand thoughts.
"Dao Guo, there's actually someone still trying this path. What is he trying to do? With the wind disaster and that divine flame that has already Li Fire element, I'm afraid the fire element has already been secretly tested. This person has enormous ambitions. We need to be careful in his future actions and take action."
The True Lord of Fire Virtue was so domineering that he almost seized the opportunity to knock down two Wind Walk True Lords. Naturally, the strongest in this lineage would not let it go.
"Li Zhu, today the Wind and Fire paths have forged a deep-seated grudge, a fight to the death. Let's have a battle!"
The battle between wind and fire caused the heavens and earth to change color, and the entire Ancient Immortal Heavenly Realm was affected, becoming unstable.
On the other side, just as the [Zhen Star] Immortal position was manifesting, a large, dark demonic hand suddenly struck out. The Four Symbols Divine Gods, who were prepared, unleashed their divine power to block the attack.
From the four directions, four demonic lights—Darkness, Abyss, Evil, and Blood—emerged, simultaneously blocking the other party's path and offering words of reassurance to avoid causing too much offense.
"Hehe, fellow Daoists, please don't be hasty. We only need to relinquish the authority of the [Zhen Star] Immortal Position; we certainly wouldn't covet this position."
Just as they said, the demonic hand stopped when it approached the [Zhen Star] Immortal Position, seemingly using some secret technique to draw out a true spirit within its inner force, exhaling and exhaling evil energy.
This kind of foul energy is like the most defiled thing to a celestial being.
Almost without hesitation, the immortal, almost instinctively, expelled the two Imperishable true spirits within his body, along with something else, and they disappeared, returning to the origin of Zhen Star.
The things that were spewed forth radiated the glory of the State, and countless Human Dao wills gathered and converged, with the True Intent of worshipping the immortal dynasty and venerating the immortals reaching an extremely intense level.
But without the [Zhen Star] Immortal position to contain it, the [State] power collapsed and was swept into the torrent of heaven and earth, the Three Realms and the Five Continents.
The four directions of the land, the Nether Bureau, and the netherworld all seemed to be prepared, as they all joined together in the sacrifice, gathering the scattered power and authority of the State.
They established the Celestial Dynasty of the Continent and the Demon Kingdom of the Nether Bureau, gathering the images of living beings and offering sacrifices to the True Lords of various realms.
The Imperishable spirit of [True Lord Zhonghuang] keenly sensed the changes here and immediately realized that he had been plotted against by everyone. He was furious and his spirit trembled, emitting angry and mocking sounds.
"A disgrace, an utter disgrace! It's one thing for us, the Five Virtues True Lords of the Spirit Purity Great Dao, to fight amongst ourselves, but to actually collude with other Daos and plot against fellow True Lords!"
"If the Dao Master were to return and see you unworthy descendants, he would be so enraged that his Numinous Purity would shatter!"
Most of the Five Virtues True Lords remained silent or avoided the conversation, while [Geng Metal Sword Lord] directly pierced the final barrier, sneering repeatedly:
"Zhonghuang, your hypocritical moral stance is truly disgusting. Throughout the medieval and early modern periods, dynasties rose and fell time and again, yet instead of seeking innovation, you suppressed the younger generation."
"Earth Virtue has thirteen immortal positions. If even half of them had ascended to the rank of True Lord, this situation wouldn't have occurred today. Over the years, countless outstanding juniors have been deliberately obstructed by you, perishing on the spot. You know this yourself."
Having said this, he directly publicized the matter of Earth Virtue, silencing all the True Lords.
In fact, many people are openly or secretly preventing the newcomer from ascending to the throne. Even if someone is to become an immortal ruler, it must be in their own interests.
[Geng Metal Sword Lord]'s words were not only directed at [True Lord Zhonghuang], but also contained a hidden warning, only [True Lord Zhonghuang] went the furthest.
Just as the True Lords maintained their tacit understanding, a Chaos, primordial ring descended upon this place.
It swept away the true spirits of Zhonghuang and Zhang Huang in one swift motion, then vanished abruptly, leaving only a trace of Supreme Yin energy, which remained unfathomable.
"Who goes there? Which fellow Daoist is here? Why don't you come out and show yourself!"
"The Chaos and the Supreme Yin, weren't these two paths long ago dormant, with no one left to verify them?"
"Heh heh, there's someone even more cunning. Interesting, truly interesting."
The various True Lords had different expressions, and their powerful divine senses and authority swept around, but they could not find a single trace.
The most anxious were the Four Symbols Gods, who clearly felt that the burden of maintaining the operation of heaven and earth was becoming deeper and heavier.
As the central element of the Five Virtues, Earth Virtue has the power to balance and harmonize the Five Elements. Now that the person who could hold this immortal position has been stolen, there are signs of impending collapse.
At this moment, the two remaining True Lords of Earth Virtue rushed over; they were Chen Earth and Gen Earth.
After discussing matters of great importance, the assembled gentlemen reached a compromise and agreed to have the two True Lord of Earth Virtue temporarily assume the authority over the Zhen Star of Suppression to nurture future generations and help them ascend to immortality, thereby alleviating the immense pressure on them.
The one who stole the two Imperishable true spirits was none other than Wang He, who wielded the [Supreme One Dao Evolution Heaven-Mixing Ring].
He had been secretly observing the every move of these True Lords and Demon Lords, and this opportunity was not to be missed.
Upon observing this, he also realized that with the Four Symbols Gods present, he had no chance of seizing the immortal position in this world.
However, the Imperishable spirits of these True Lords also contain a portion of the Dao Fruits they have attained through self-cultivation and self-realization, which can supplement the [Supreme One Dao-Performing Heaven-Mixing Ring] with some Earth Virtue Dao Fruits.
"That's not all; we might even be able to find the Imperishable spirits of those two Windwalker True Monarchs."
With the [Chaos] Dao Fruit borrowed from the spiritual treasure, plus the [Supreme Yin Storage Apparatus], Wang He was able to discern the traces of these two departing figures in the Great Void, and was now secretly following them to find their lair.
After an unknown amount of time, as they approached the world's border, Wang He noticed something amiss. On a border fortress, where Astral Wind used to blow in a specific pattern, the winds were now somewhat withered.
The formless Supreme Yin silently entered the Astral Wind circle, and a small wind tunnel came into view. A bit of Imperishable true spirit entered the body of the wind spirit and was constantly sensing the immortal position through a special secret method.
