Chapter 650: Great Oath, Great Aspiration Forging the Heavenly Venerable Dao Body (4K) (Happy May Day)

The edge of the Heavenly Demon Realm

Boundless primordial starlight poured down from the heavens above, each ancient star bursting with intense hues, nurturing this vast land filled with primal, ancient essence.

Countless beings seized this rare opportunity, inhaling and exhaling the radiance of primordial starlight, thereby drawing in demonic qi and refining their inner elixirs.

This is a paradise for demons.

Zhang Jian is not a Star God, although he once possessed part of the Ziwei destiny pattern.

Merely gazing upon this scene, his expression remained calm.

Had he not experienced the ancient ages, he might calmly observe, even feel some joy, but having personally witnessed demons slaughtering humanity, his perception of the demon race has gradually changed.

At this moment he understands that the heavenly immortals and gods have no innate love or hatred; most are shaped by later experiences.

Having personally witnessed all this, who could pretend it never happened?

Zhang Jian's expression unchanged, moments later a wisp of water vapor drifted on the wind from the starry sky above, and in an instant a tall, graceful figure appeared beside him.

That was precisely Daoist Jade Carving.

At this moment, gazing at Zhang Jian, she smiled faintly.

"Let the Earth Emperor Daoist wait long! Earth Emperor Daoist is more punctual than this god imagined!"

Zhang Jian replied casually.

"Punctuality is the first impression one gives others, and the foundation of trust!"

"Daoist Jade Carving, you should now be able to tell me the specific details of that part of the heavenly realm?"

Daoist Jade Carving smiled faintly.

"Let's walk and talk!"

The two instantly transformed into streaks of light, directly breaking through the dimensional barrier of the Heavenly Demon Realm, heading toward the direction of the extraterritorial star river.

The speed of the two Daoists was extreme; in an instant they had long left the Heavenly Demon Realm behind.

The two did not take the dimensional passage explored by the myriad immortals and gods.

Those dimensional passages, after being explored by many immortals and gods, or even great divine-power beings, had confirmed the stability of spacetime dimensions, allowing the use of void translocation formations, or dimensional demon gods, with few dimensional demons present.

However, the two gods, relying on their divine abilities, were not afraid either.

Both are second-transformation Daoists; encountering some powerful demon kings' demon god legions, they could force their way through by joining forces, and need not fear any special dimensional forbidden zones.

Along the way, Daoist Jade Carving finally revealed the name of that unknown heavenly realm.

"This realm is called the Celestial Court Heavenly Realm, vast and magnificent, not inferior to the main terrestrial immortal world of the Wasteland, its scale extraordinarily huge, yet hidden deep within a great expanse of unknown spacetime dimensions; speaking of it, when opportunity arose, this seat encountered a demon king while translocating through the void, and in pursuing him, accidentally found its coordinates!"

"... This god previously mentioned to Daoist that I had once dispatched an incarnated primordial spirit to explore within it!"

"That Celestial Court Heavenly Realm is also a dimension where the immortal and divine ways flourish; besides that, there are also demonic disturbances troubling the mortal realm..."

"... The strongest existence in that other world remains the Celestial Court, its sovereign being a heavenly emperor born of immense fortune from both the Immortal and Divine Ways, who governs the Celestial Court Heavenly Realm, occupying the central Taiji pivot, wielding most divine authority of the Celestial Court Heavenly Realm, with numerous immortals and gods exalted above, enslaving all beings..."

"Enslave?"

Zhang Jian noticed the tone of Daoist Jade Carving, his eyebrows slightly raised.

Daoist Jade Carving nodded slightly.

"Indeed, many immortals and gods, claiming to shepherd the world under the Celestial Court, maintain their dignity and status in heaven and earth, but more often for their own benefit rather than for the order of all beings!"

"Their cultivation methods actually lean more toward the Immortal Way, focusing on seizing fortune and numerous 【ranks】!"

Zhang Jian's expression stirred slightly, a hint of an unusual smile appearing in his eyes.

"That is rather peculiar!"

Daoist Jade Carving then roughly mentioned the local customs and sentiments of that Celestial Court world.

Zhang Jian's heart gradually formed a complete impression, and preliminarily also had a point of entry.

This is the major problem Zhang Jian and Daoist Jade Carving must first face.

Regarding the Celestial Court Heavenly Realm, he and Daoist Jade Carving are extraterritorial Daoists, which can be considered extraterritorial demon gods in nature.

The first challenge is how to sneak in without being detected.

Otherwise, being blocked and besieged by local powerhouses, the odds of victory are low, plus the danger of falling and being devoured by the Celestial Court Heavenly Realm.

Secondly, after entering, becoming a player within, how to simultaneously redeem the Celestial Court Heavenly Realm and decisively eliminate the great enemy.

Fighting away from home, the difficulty increases tenfold, even a hundredfold.

Fortunately, with the many mature, usable classic precedents from the Heavenly Court, Zhang Jian has a feasible plan for this.

Daoist Jade Carving hails from the Jellyfish Dao Palace; surely the Jellyfish Dao Palace also has similar classic precedents to 'draw inspiration from'!

At this moment, in the depths of a dark heavenly realm dimension, two figures emerged from the void, the violent spacetime storm posing no threat to their divine light, like a drizzle.

However, upon entering this dark spacetime dimension, the two figures actively concealed their aura, yet before them demonic qi flowed like an oceanic flood.

A spacetime channel pierced this unknown spacetime domain, countless demonic qi flowing out from within, like a flood projecting downward into the lower realms.

"So many extraterritorial demon gods—it seems another heavenly realm is about to collapse, targeted by them!"

Gazing at this scene, Daoist Jade Carving slightly furrowed his brow.

Zhang Jian stood to the side, demonic light flickering slightly; his vast, eternal will sweeping over, he could sense that the extraterritorial demon god legion sent downward through this spacetime channel numbered in the hundreds of thousands of years.

Among them were not lacking powerful Taiyi demon gods, as well as mighty demon lords of the Taiyi Heavenly Immortal level.

It is feared that the lower realm should be where the demon kings of the extraterritorial demon gods are summoning the extraterritorial demon god legion.

Whatever the extraterritorial demon god clan wishes to accomplish, as a Daoist of the heavenly realm dimension, it is natural to destroy.

"Let's 'help' them a bit!"

Zhang Jian smiled faintly, Daoist Jade Carving's gaze fell upon him, her expression somewhat unusual.

Zhang Jian then stepped forward.

The extraterritorial demon god clan poses a greater threat to the myriad heavens' void than the demon race does.

This is also the reason why, after the rise of the human race, they never actively sought trouble with the demon race, or perhaps it was due to trouble from other foreign races.

The outer void demons are the enemies of most races in the myriad heavens void.

Zhang Jian smiled slightly, and as he focused his thoughts, he saw a beam of spacetime divine light strike into the spacetime passage, penetrating deep into a void demon gate within moments, forcibly altering part of the transmission coordinates inside the void demon gate.

Boom—

Instantly, countless spacetime storms were drawn to the spacetime passage, pouring in and tearing apart numerous invading outer void demons into fragments.

"Truly a malicious delight!"

Seeing this scene, Daoist Yuzhuo secretly felt somewhat speechless.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Jian smiled and said.

"It also counts as dispelling a long-held obsession!"

Daoist Yuzhuo glanced at him with slight surprise.

Zhang Jian merely gave a light smile.

During his time in the mortal realm, Zhang Jian had dealt with outer void demons quite a number of times; although he ultimately thwarted their invasions of heaven and earth through various means, one problem remained unsolved.

That is, he could not completely destroy the outer demon gates from the outside by borrowing external power.

Only after defeating the outer void demons that descended within the outer demon gates could he attempt to ruin the manifested outer demon gates.

But now, he could easily borrow spacetime power to completely destroy the outer demon gates from within to without.

After the two deities destroyed the outer passage, and almost immediately after this spacetime passage was destroyed in a few fleeting moments, a vast and eternal will surged along the gradually collapsing spacetime passage, sweeping across the surrounding spacetime coordinates.

Clearly, this was a powerful demon lord of the outer void demon race.

However, after this eternal will swept over this spacetime position, a sudden burst of icy-blue divine light erupted from the void, and in an instant, a terrifying, grim, cold radiance burst forth, as if following endless spacetime, the pale moon path directly slaying layer upon layer of vast and eternal will.

In the depths of the void, Zhang Jian's divine eyes pierced through endless spacetime dimensions, following that slaying eternal will, he saw a withering entity beyond the human dimension, countless demonic energies gathering around a white bone throne, its entire body entwined with endless white bone bone-spikes—a terrifying demon giant.

This demon giant sat alone amidst countless demonic energies, as if possessing the terrifying divine power to devour all heavens and voids.

This was a powerful demon lord born among the outer void demon race.

An unknown demon lord.

But it appeared his cultivation was not particularly strong.

It should be an incarnation of a demon lord's primordial spirit.

But in an instant, a fierce cold radiance descended from the void, and suddenly the void grew cold; that terrifying demon giant raised its head, and six pairs of divine eyes appeared on its brow and forehead—yet in that instant, the endless magical light emanating from its body all dimmed, its true form, even its primordial spirit, the demon lord's body completely split apart, utterly shattered beneath that terrifying sword light.

Daoist Yuzhuo completely extinguished the possibility of his revival from the source.

Zhang Jian's divine eyes gazed upon this scene, with some fluctuation in his depths.

This sword technique was extremely sharp.

The fifth-tier eternal-level immortal treasure, the Taiji Division Light Sword, was even more exceptionally sharp.

After slaying this demon lord's incarnation, the boundless demonic energies gathered in the starry void scattered like birds and beasts.

Zhang Jian's vast eternal will enveloped that region of void, seeing that the demon lord's true form had not yet appeared, he withdrew his eternal will.

Demon lords enjoy spoiling the good deeds of Daoists.

Daoists naturally hate and loathe demon lords intensely; whoever sees them must kill them—this is the norm in the myriad heavens void.

This unknown demon lord of the outer void demon race encountered them; he could only count himself unlucky.

Incidentally gaining merit for saving the world, the two did not continue to act, leaving the strong ones in that human dimension to eliminate the invading demon leaders on their own.

After all, this was not their main purpose.

……

After completing this matter, the two Daoists continued on their journey.

However, after cooperating once, the two found each other much more pleasing to the eye.

Along the way, Zhang Jian encountered several outer void demons again, or these wandering dimensional giant beasts, and several hunting, tyrannical dimensional demon gods; these terrifying living beings' innate nature was nearly that of innate deities.

They could also be considered innate deities, or a kind of innate divine beast.

This was still Zhang Jian's first time wandering outside after entering the heavenly realm dimension, and everything was quite novel.

But after seeing much, Zhang Jian soon relaxed his mind.

However, Zhang Jian noticed that these dimensional giant beasts, dimensional demon gods, and even some outer void immortals and gods were few in number, because in the outer void dimensions, primordial starlight occasionally swept across, monitoring many dimensions and spacetime, to prevent hordes of outer void demons from invading the vast territories governed by the heavenly court.

The two spent dozens of years before gradually leaving the many heavenly realm dimensions under the heavenly court's jurisdiction.

Even at the speed of Daoists, it took such a long time to leave the heavenly realm dimensions under the heavenly court's governance, showing just how vast the heavenly court's influence is.

After leaving the many heavenly realm dimensions under the heavenly court's governance, Zhang Jian noticed that the void dimensions had obviously undergone some changes.

The void dimensions between void dimensions had obviously become more dim and gloomy; the light of the primordial stars was faint, and their sense of origin with the Three Emperors Heavenly Realm and the Central Heavenly Realm began to become elusive.

This indicates that he had already far departed from the Central Heavenly Realm.

The density of wandering outer void demons, outer void divine beasts, and even starry void giant beasts, as well as outer void evil gods, in the myriad heavens void had obviously increased greatly.

Zhang Jian knew this region was the territory of the neutral heavenly realms.

The vast spacetime dimensions governed by the Four Ancestors of the Heretical School lie just around this area.

But the vast territories governed by the Four Ancestors of the Heretical School can only be considered a part of the neutral realm's territory; around this area, there are still many ancient clans, or great teachings controlling powerful heavenly realm dimensions.

For example, the dragon clan under the jurisdiction of the Jellyfish Dao Palace has its own territory in this earthly realm.

There are also many heavenly court great divine abilities practitioners, or inheritors of the great teachings in this area, and there are also territories belonging to sects.

……

"This is the place!"

At this moment, within the cloud corridor formed by the vast spacetime storm, two figures appeared; Daoist Yuzhuo at this moment pointed to the deep, boundless ocean where the spacetime storm had formed.

Zhang Jian glanced over, slightly furrowing his brow.

The endless spacetime storm flowed like a surging ocean; in such a spacetime ocean, if one were to seek a heavenly realm coordinate, it would indeed be extremely difficult, like a grain of millet in the vast sea.

Yu Zhuo Dao Jun's expression remained unchanged as he waved his hand, and a massive gate formed from the void.

His figure entered first, and Zhang Jian followed closely behind.

Moments later, two figures emerged from a spacetime gate, but the place they stood in was a flux zone where spacetime storms circulated.

A magnificent, towering, pale gray celestial dimension appeared deep within the spacetime torrent; Zhang Jian swept his gaze over it, and his eyes also flickered with astonishment.

This flourishing celestial dimension before him was indeed extraordinarily magnificent.

From the outside, yet still no problem could be seen!

Yu Zhuo Dao Jun gazed upon this magnificent celestial dimension, glanced briefly, and immediately smiled.

"Earth Emperor Dao Friend, this deity shall take the first step!"

Zhang Jian nodded slightly, yet saw Yu Zhuo Dao Jun's figure hesitate not, instantly transforming into a streak of light as his true form vanished into it.

I do not know what secret art this is, but it completely bypassed the world barrier of this celestial realm before us and directly escaped into it.

"The inheritance of the Water Mother Dao Palace is indeed exquisitely exquisite!"

Zhang Jian gave a faint smile, and according to his and Yu Zhuo Dao Jun's plan, his method of entering the Celestial Realm was not the same—he needed not only to stride boldly but also to fully draw the attention of the Heavenly Emperor within.

His figure stepped slowly, advancing into the Celestial Realm.

The Celestial Realm, the magnificent Celestial Court stood above countless beings, established within the faint Tai Ji pivot; at this moment, a magnificent figure resided upon the divine throne at the Tai Ji pivot, his body entwined with vast, magnificent divine power, as if constantly resonating with the celestial axis of the Celestial Realm, like the source of the Great Dao, his body surrounded by the aura of supreme nobility.

Divine light shone pure and radiant upon him, his body suffused with intense purple aura, as if a sage who governed heaven and earth's yin and yang, though behind his head, within the auspicious clouds' radiance, faint black runes flickered and wandered— a flaw in the flawless jade.

But just then, the Heavenly Emperor enthroned at the Jade Tai Ji pivot suddenly stirred, sensing a faint tremor in the origin of the Magnificent Celestial Realm; a beam of magnificent divine light came from beyond the realm's void, stirring the fluctuations of the myriad heavenly and earthly Dao laws within the Celestial Realm.

This was an existence of extreme inconceivability.

"Outer Realm Demon?"

This supreme and noble towering figure gazed outward, a chill rose in his heart, as if heavenly killing intent had awakened; boundless calamity qi suddenly coiled in the deep void of the Celestial Realm, just as he was about to act, he saw boundless omens appear on the horizon.

Boundless light, boundless purple and cyan qi suddenly swept in from the void, forming myriad auspicious omens.

A magnificent celestial omen burst forth from within.
