Chapter 148

The intertwining of two great Dao powers made this void barely able to hold, cracks constantly appearing and shattering, terrifying to the extreme.

The many great mountains beneath his feet were annihilated, turned to flying ash.

Lin Wu Ren and the many venerables fighting also, at the same time, withdrew from this place, mobilized rules, and protected those behind them.

Everyone's faces changed, because… Yangtian Old Ancestor actually withstood the fusion of Dao!

If this news were spread, the entire Western Sea Mainland would be shaken.

Rumors of the declining Xuan Yang Sect still have Dao-stage combat strength, not weaker than holy lands, possessing peak power.

This is enough to make many enemies tremble in their hearts.

Back then, too many strong ones of the Xuan Yang Sect fell, and many other regional forces also took advantage, seizing many resources.

Now seeing Yangtian Venerable's such combat power, who wouldn't be afraid?

How many Dao-stage strongers are there in the entire Eastern Divine Prefecture?

The Supreme and Second Elder of the Floating Light Teach now have deathly pale faces, yet they still look toward dividing the Xuan Yang Sect's foundation and resources.

This is practically courting death!

Fortunately, they reined in at the brink.

Looking toward the old woman of the Silver Moon Divine Teach beside them, an expression of gratitude involuntarily appeared.

This truly is a matter of life and death in a single thought.

"It seems he has been hiding his strength, not wanting to reveal it, waiting to pass the tribulation Dao realm to revive the Xuan Yang Sect's situation." The old woman's turbid eyes flashed with brilliance, quite astonished.

The Xuan Yang Sect can now survive, not being valued, because only a single venerable holds the fort.

Moreover, the path ahead is cut off, sealed by the Wu tribe's curse, and the future will only decline.

The Xuan Ming Holy Land naturally gave face to that ancient great teaching that backed the Xuan Yang Sect behind, and no longer intervened.

But… if Yangtian Old Ancestor reveals his strength, a venerable who masters fusion Dao power, this would drive the entire Xuan Ming Holy Land mad, wanting to slaughter him.

If he breaks through, the entire Western Sea Mainland will be thrown into chaos, with endless war, dealing a heavy blow to the Xuan Ming Holy Land.

He has been hiding all along… alas, the effort fell short.

He was discovered at this moment.

"Boom!"

The fire dragon roars, constantly shattering and reborn, continually attacking, seeking to tear apart the besieged Xuan Yin Venerable.

Yangtian Old Ancestor's face sank; he… ultimately still underestimated the existence of the fusion Dao realm.

The gap therein is indeed a heavenly chasm.

Now the Xuan Yin Venerable in the formation holds back, occasionally employing a killing move to threaten his life.

He wishes to exhaust him to death here.

The great medicine previously swallowed has its efficacy nearly exhausted; if he truly burns his essence blood, perhaps within a hundred years, or three to five years later, he will perish.

Now that his strength is exposed, the Xuan Ming Holy Land will certainly not let the Xuan Yang Sect survive.

This gives Yangtian Old Ancestor a headache.

The near‑death Xuan Yin Venerable's burst of strength is only half, yet I still cannot overcome him.

Immediately… he again took out a great medicine, swallowed it into his abdomen; a rich warmth flowed from his dantian, spreading throughout his body.

Yangtian Old Ancestor's eyes turned red; he was furiously angry, for this is all his foundation, now being wasted like this.

"Even if I never pass the Dao stage, I will kill you here!"

"You want to fight me? You old immortal aren't even worthy!"

I had prepared a total of five heavenly‑grade spirit medicines, all secretly hoarded, yet now I have wasted two.

If I don't kill this old bastard before me, my heart cannot calm, my Dao heart is unstable!

Now the Xuan Yin Venerable besieged in the fire dragon formation has a pallid face, a trace of blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, and terror in his eyes.

This fire Dao… has definitely reached the fusion Dao realm.

If Yangtian Old Ancestor breaks through and succeeds, he can freely mobilize this level of rule power.

All… I will really be suppressed and killed.

The venerable realm ultimately has limits; storing spiritual energy still requires a dantian.

Upon reaching fusion Dao, every inch of flesh and blood can become a dantian, able to merge with the rules; a single palm strike becomes the utmost.

So, Yangtian Old Ancestor is now forcibly mobilizing power that does not belong to this realm's control.

The consumption is extremely rapid.

Moments later, another third heavenly‑grade spirit medicine was thrown into his mouth.

Yangtian Old Ancestor has prepared that once the spirit medicines are exhausted, he will burn his essence blood.

Today I must nail this old bastard shut in his coffin, forever entombed!

"Let's see how much foundation your Xuan Yang Sect has to squander!" the Xuan Yin Venerable snorted coldly, chilling intent continually erupting to resist the raging flames.

His withered old right hand has turned charred black, constantly emitting black smoke; the burning pain makes him furious.

I, actually being counter‑attacked by a venerable and falling into a predicament—if this gets out, my ten‑thousand‑year prestige will be lost.

The commotion above is growing ever more terrifying.

Yangtian Old Ancestor is almost fighting desperately.

He directly swallowed the fourth heavenly‑grade spirit medicine.

At this very moment, the illusory passage of the Heavenly God Forbidden Zone gradually solidifies.

Dozens of vague silhouettes are swiftly flashing by.

At this time, Qin Yu leading, gazing toward the outside of the passage, a throbbing feeling spreads from his heart.

For some unknown reason, his heart feels uneasy.

"Outside there are Dao realm battle fluctuations, the rules aren't too strong…… probably about the same as this old man." Bi Qingmu quickly spoke, expression extremely vigilant.

Upon thinking of Qin Yu's background, it felt a bit horrified—could it be an enemy?

Dao stage powerhouses are not many in this era; after all, the rules are incomplete, making them hard to arise…… so…… it's likely related to the young master.

The heart tightened, but…… preparations were made to fight to the death.

After all…… I still don't have a suitable letter of allegiance.

"This might be an opportunity."

They pondered inwardly, their aura mobilized to the extreme, devouring the Dao fruit of Bi Xue Mu, integrating all rule power into themselves; even though they were only a half-step Dao stage, they could still rival one who had just entered Dao Fusion.

"Crack…… crack!"

The passageway beside began to show cracks, some unable to withstand such tremendous power.

But…… it's also very likely the forbidden zone's spirit, which never thought of bolstering power to stabilize.

Immediately, the group's expressions changed drastically; following young master Qin Yu, they hurriedly ran out of the passageway, daring not to pause even a bit.

The road to escape the Heavenly God Forbidden Zone lay right before them; if they died in the passageway, that would be too unjust.

Moments later, light pierced through their bodies.

Everyone fell to the ground; Bi Qingmu directly activated aura, pushing it to the extreme.

"Buzz—buzz—buzz!"

Pale cyan divine radiance fell beside, forming a light barrier that shielded everyone.

At that moment, Qin Yu blinked slightly, involuntarily exclaiming: "Master?"

He saw the Old Ancestor Yang Tian on the firmament, exerting his full strength.

Beside, Bi Qingmu, seeing this, also hurriedly looked up, heart pounding with fear.

This…… what's the situation?

Venerable, defying Dao Fusion?

Throughout the ancient era, few could achieve this level; it's extremely rare.

Moreover, he is the young master's master?

Damn, no wonder it's a lineage inheritance.

All are heaven-defying individuals!

The heart grew even more convinced that behind the young master lay a great background!
