Chapter 450: The Taiyi Incarnation

"An envoy from the Demon Alliance?"

"Heh, I won't see them!"

Su Ping returned to the Xuanling World and saw Deacon Xiahou coming to report; upon learning it was an envoy from the Demon Alliance seeking mercy, he refused point-blank.

The demon rat, a great cultivator serving as the envoy, was so infuriated that he wanted to throw a tantrum.

Yet, just after his divine sense was projected, he felt the Sun True Fire that Su Ping had struck onto the Array and shuddered violently, instantly sobering up.

Aside from the Sun True Fire, which made him feel an inexplicable fear deep in his heart.

It was also because this power reminded him of that Eastern Emperor Monarch who had suddenly appeared and then vanished, Demon Emperor Taiyi.

Although he was not certain, even if there was only a sliver of a chance that His Majesty the Demon Emperor had ties to this Salvation Lineage, it was a risk this demon rat could not afford to take.

After thinking it over, the demon rat ultimately left with his subordinates, slinking away.

Replacing him were the kin of the captured Demon Clan members, who, besides continuing to plead for mercy, also brought gifts and hoped to redeem their clansmen's lives with ransom.

As for the Salvation Lineage providing assistance.

Inside the Bronze High Tower, they relied on Tian Rulai to sit in command, with his avatar handling things personally.

This was to avoid mutual suspicion and unpleasantness later on.

"My power is enough to guard this Shikong Haiyu and ensure everyone has a safe trading platform; that is already quite good."

"And in turn, it shakes the space-time barrier of the North King Time Domain, allowing the Dark Catastrophe to reveal even more of its power."

"With a Daoist sitting in command in the Xiayu, it is already considered a decent place."

Moreover, the various mysterious divine abilities contained within his body made Tian Rulai wonder if even his original self would necessarily be able to gain the upper hand.

"But whether any Great Ability will come to help, I cannot give a guarantee."

Unfortunately, since it involved the Dark Catastrophe, Su Ping was still more inclined to learn more relevant intelligence.

Su Ping learned of a series of major events that had recently occurred in the North King Time Domain.

Therefore, before the Bronze High Tower had squeezed out their value, he did not intend to engage with these Demon Clan members to discuss compensation.

"Amitabha."

Decay reappeared in the Endless Star Sea, and the Chaos army descended upon the Central Region.

As for the fact that the strong have their own treatment and freedom, it was something all parties could likely accept.

"The unwillingness and resentment of billions of living beings caused by them."

Furthermore, no matter how much the Three Great Alliances worked together to resist external enemies, without an Emperor, there was inevitably infighting.

Su Ping voiced his thoughts.

"According to information received by this seat, the Buddha Alliance is currently persuading the Dao Alliance and the Demon Alliance, hoping they can provide benefits together to request that your side, Daoist, step in to help."

Upon hearing this, Tian Rulai revealed a smile.

"Step in to help?"

Suppressing the distracting thoughts in his heart, Tian Rulai continued:

"Does the Daoist have any intention to take action?"

Having said this, Tian Rulai paused and looked at Su Ping earnestly.

The extraordinary Order of the North King Time Domain, which had originally maintained a state of equilibrium, was nearing the point of collapse.

The mere fact that the supply of important Spirit Herb was increased would be enough to soften the attitude of the Three Great Alliances toward the Xuanling World and Su Ping.

Of course, unpleasantness with the Demon Alliance was certain.

"Of course, to support you Daoists in resisting the Dark Catastrophe, this seat promises to increase the shipment of Spirit Herb; the upcoming shipment will not be less than 1.5 times the previous amount."

No matter how stubborn the bones of the Demon Clan members brought in this time were, they would lose themselves amidst the chants of "Thus have I heard," becoming puppets who would tell everything they knew without reservation.

Su Ping thought for a moment, shook his head, but then nodded and said:

If there were no surprises, Su Ping had already made up his mind to make the Demon Alliance his professional substitute for Abyss Challenge runs.

Combined with what Tian Rulai had seen and heard in the Buddha Realm.

Su Ping's growth speed left Tian Rulai feeling greatly perplexed.

He even somewhat suspected that Su Ping was truly a Heavenly Venerable who had descended to the mortal world to undergo training.

Thus, progress that others struggled for thousands or ten thousand years to achieve, this person seemed to break through after a period of time, as easily as eating or drinking.

In the battles against the Dark Catastrophe and various demons and monsters, the Three Great Alliances had many important figures who had suffered severe injuries and troublesome curses, requiring various high-year precious Spirit Herb for Healing Pill.

"Causing the situation to deteriorate further."

Yet now, he was already at the Great Vehicle Realm.

How long had it been since he left the Mother Goddess's body?

At that time, he was just a lad who hadn't even touched the edge of the Harmony Realm.

He also wanted to use Tian Rulai's channel to notify the Three Great Alliances.

"Many small and medium sects have chosen the evil cultivation method of killing the hen to get the eggs."

"As for other matters of assistance, this seat will also do its best to convey them to my Salvation Lineage."

"In other space-time seas, the Dark Catastrophe has not yet appeared, but a state of Dharma-ending has already manifested."

Of course, the most important thing was that this Salvation Lineage was simply too mysterious and unfathomable.

It vaguely pointed toward power outside the North King Time Domain.

It was inevitable that everyone would become much more reasonable.

Next.

Su Ping did indeed fulfill his promise, even exceeding the requirements.

Knowing that wars were breaking out everywhere now.

Su Ping sold two to three times more Spirit Herb in the Xuanling World than before.

Furthermore, in addition to Spirit Herbs, Su Ping thoughtfully sold a large quantity of war supplies.

Massive amounts of refined iron, Black Jade, and Dim Silver mixed with Mysterious Yin Crystal powder—primary materials that could be used to manufacture Immortal Boats, War Puppets, and even large-scale Array Disks.

There were also various Spirit Pills, Spirit Tools, Talismans, and array flags painstakingly produced by the cultivators of the Biyuan World.

Relying on their large quantity and high quality, they were bought up by many factions as soon as they were released.

This allowed Su Ping to discover the wonderful taste of making a fortune from war.

He also deeply understood why individuals and factions who had tasted this flavor would develop path dependency.

It was truly because this flavor was just too wonderful!

A large amount of Spirit Stones entered Su Ping's Sun Moon Star Chart.

It just so happened that in the Water Blue Star World, Su Ping's speed of exploring new star systems was rapidly increasing due to his cultivation level rising.

Although it was still difficult to perform Dao Integration and devour stars, he could first make arrangements on the various large and small planets in those star systems before devouring and performing Dao Integration.

The arrival of these Spirit Stones undoubtedly meant that Su Ping no longer had any worries about his rapid devouring and Dao Integration of the Great Dao.

Because of this, Su Ping also felt a bit more concern for these lovely customers.

Then, while Su Ping went back to exploring things useful to him in the star systems.

Su Ping released his Taiyi Avatar.

At the same time, he respected the wishes of Chiyuan Xianren, letting her become a member of the Salvation Squad under the Savior Heavenly Venerable who accepted missions, and she began to carry out some cleanup missions involving ancient demons and troublesome evil cultivators.

According to Chiyuan Xianren's frank admission, she needed to gain experience and needed to nourish war with war in order to find an opportunity for a breakthrough.

Su Ping had a clear understanding of Chiyuan Xianren's luck, and he felt even more that with so many Innate Supreme Treasures protecting her, even if her teammates all died, Chiyuan Xianren should be able to turn danger into safety, and perhaps even encounter an opportunity that would allow her to go further!

Of course, just in case, Su Ping also left Chiyuan Xianren with a trump card to save her life.

…………

At the edge of the Endless Star Sea, in an airspace near a Space-Time Torrent.

Accompanied by a dazzling red light that suddenly bloomed.

After violent spatial ripples surged outward.

A Small Thousand World shaped like a bunch of grapes emerged from the space-time sea area that looked empty from the outside.

Afterward, the entire Small Thousand World began to flee desperately toward the outside of the Endless Star Sea.

This was a Small Thousand World named the Earth Profound Realm.

It was famous for producing a type of Earth Profound Spirit Herb.

The sect that controlled the Earth Profound Realm was of the Daoist lineage and had some ties of friendship with the top-tier sect, the Butian Sect.

It could barely be considered an outer member of the Dao Alliance.

Usually, the Earth Profound Realm lived quite well in the North King Time Domain because of this.

Plus, the location of their Small Thousand World was special.

Relying on the help of favorable timing and geographical advantages, it was actually able to hide in the outer area of the Endless Star Sea.

Even if there were Great Abilities who wanted to target the Earth Profound Realm, they could not find the exact location of the Earth Profound Realm in this area.

It was just that they had avoided the sinister nature of human hearts.

But they had not been able to avoid the Dark Catastrophe.

As the disaster of Decay erupted within the Small Thousand World.

The Earth Profound Realm had no choice but to expose itself and then flee for its life toward the direction of the Three Great Alliances.

The high-level members of the Earth Profound Realm did not choose to escape by riding an Immortal Boat, but instead brought the Small Thousand World along with them.

It was not that they did not want to save their own lives first.

It was that they had already sensed the power of Decay appearing outside the barrier of the Small Thousand World before this.

If they lost the barrier of the Small Thousand World.

Relying solely on an Immortal Boat... they feared that as soon as they left the Small Thousand World, they would all be invaded by the power of Decay, either rotting and melting, or turning into monsters without a self.

Their greatest hope now was to be able to encounter a top-tier Great Ability from the Three Great Alliances.

And then, by paying an unimaginable price, request the other party to purify the power of Decay.

If that was truly impossible, it would not be unacceptable to just tear open a small gap so they could escape with their valuables.

However, as time passed.

On one hand, the high-level members of the Earth Profound Realm kept issuing orders to have those small worlds that were confirmed to be infected by the power of Decay and already had regions of Decay inside them cut off and abandoned.

On the other hand, they noticed that there were no patrol teams from the Three Great Alliances appearing in the distance.

Instead, there were ruins after ruins spanning tens of thousands of kilometers.

In the ruin zones, severed limbs and arms were everywhere, and broken pieces of Immortal Boats and Array Disks could be seen everywhere.

"The defense teams of the Three Great Alliances have also been attacked?"

"It's over, without the Great Abilities of the Three Great Alliances, who else can come to save us?"

The high-level members of the Earth Profound Realm were ashen-faced, and just as they were in despair.

Extremely terrifying Dharma Power fluctuations suddenly came from the distance.

These fluctuations crossed a distance of hundreds of millions of kilometers and slapped against the World Barrier of the Earth Profound Realm.

This also made the spirits of the high-level members of the Earth Profound Realm shake:

"This is a battle between Great Abilities above the Great Vehicle stage."

"Such fluctuations might even be Venerables of the Heavenly Immortal Realm taking action!"

"Quick, activate the Profound Heaven Array and send out a distress signal!"

"Use the most humble attitude to request their rescue, and tell them that we are willing to give anything, and anything can be negotiated!"

The high-level members of the Earth Profound Realm seemed to have grasped a straw for survival, choosing to seize this chance to live.

Their Array had just successfully activated and sent out the first wave of messages.

They then saw circles of intense ripples blooming once more ahead.

Then, as the battle drew closer.

With the aid of the world's power, they finally observed the situation at the center of the battlefield.

It was shockingly a Daoist and a monk, jointly fighting a lizard-shaped Demon Beast about a thousand meters long, with most of its body already in a state of Decay.

Upon seeing clearly, the high-level figures of the Earth Profound Realm were first overjoyed.

They recognized the Daoist and the monk as renowned Heavenly Immortal Realm venerables.

Just as they felt that with two Great Abilities joining forces, no monster could resist.

They soon discovered that the large lizard seemed to have gained the favor of Decay, becoming an existence similar to a Shitai.

Relying on the empowerment of Decay, especially since a part of Decay's own body was within the Endless Star Sea.

The gaze that drifted over from those remains from time to time.

Often caused the joint attacks of the Daoist and the monk to fall short.

In just a few dozen breaths, the Daoist and the monk had instead fallen into a disadvantageous position on the battlefield.

And there were faint signs of them wanting to retreat.

This scene caused the high-level figures of the Earth Profound Realm to experience great highs and lows, once again falling into a state of collapse.

It was also at this moment that the high-level figures of the Earth Profound Realm suddenly received a new voice.

It was asking if they could truly offer the price for salvation?

Treating a dead horse as a living one, and also surprised by the ability of this voice to directly penetrate the Small Thousand World Barrier.

The high-level figures of the Earth Profound Realm naturally agreed in a hurry.

Even if it meant emptying their respective family coffers, they would not hesitate.

At the same time.

The Daoist and the monk, who were caught in a bitter fight, also looked at each other, clearly having heard the external voice as well.

They pulled away from each other and spoke in unison to agree:

"Daoist, rest assured. If this battle can be won, we guarantee that we will send double the reward."

The voice had just fallen.

The sickly green large lizard in the distance, after opening its mouth to swallow the two Dharma treasures that were entangling it.

Screeched and lunged over.

As a result, just as it lunged into mid-air.

The Taiyi Avatar appeared between its eyes as if teleporting.

A flick of a finger was unleashed, hitting the center of the large lizard's brow in an instant.

It caused this large lizard to scream and retreat backward.

Wah!

After the large lizard retreated, it still wanted to regroup, and more power of Decay surged from the Endless Star Sea behind it.

It was even so dense that it was visible to the naked eye, like pitch-black sludge wriggling rapidly.

However, these powers had just reached the large lizard.

Yet it could not stop the center of its brow from suddenly exploding!

Then, the Sun True Fire roared and spread over the large lizard's entire body, causing it to burn like a torch.

"This flame!"

"Could it be the Sun True Fire?"

"What a terrifying fire of the righteous path! With such a divine fire supernatural ability, even if the opponent is a Shitai of Decay, they shouldn't be able to take advantage, right?"

The Daoist was quite excited.

The monk looked at the Taiyi Avatar, having already guessed the other party's identity.

The Taiyi Avatar ignored the feelings of the onlookers behind.

Having accepted the mission, after one strike succeeded, Golden Light emerged from his body.

Then, a ten-thousand-meter-tall Three-legged Golden Crow Dharma Image emerged.

And with the appearance of the Three-legged Golden Crow, the Nine Suns in the Sky Yuanling enveloped this vast Shikong Haiyu.

Causing the burning large lizard to tremble all over.

It actually revealed a fearful cry for the first time, then turned around and began to flee.

However, no matter how this large lizard ran, the Nine Suns high above radiated Sun Divine Light, shining upon it.

And no matter how the large lizard displayed its supernatural abilities and transformations, it could not escape this Yuanling.

It could not even get close to the edge of the Yuanling.

Making it have no chance to struggle violently.

At the same time, the power of Decay from the Endless Star Sea also lost its connection with the large lizard.

Leaving it as water without a source, a tree without roots.

In the eyes of outsiders.

After this large lizard scrambled and jumped around like a flea for a while.

It actually just like that... gradually turned into ashes!

Finally, these difficult-to-handle pollutant Ember of Decay were swallowed into the belly by the Three-legged Golden Crow.
