Chapter 666: The Primordial Position, Overcoming Myriad with One (4K)

The nine-colored divine light originally symbolized the primordial source of the Heavenly Dao of the Celestial Court—supreme and ultimate, governing the ten heavens and ten earths, countless deities.

Yet now it has become the calamity of the ten heavens and ten earths, of all things in heaven and earth.

Wherever the nine-colored divine light passes, the ten heavens, ten earths, and countless living beings leak their essence and qi, involuntarily converging toward the celestial palace, as if deep within the Taiji Nexus lies a colossal divine warship, its form manifesting, intending to devour all essence and qi, returning to the origin, its primordial divine light continuously expanding, rapidly crossing that terrifying threshold.

When that torrent-like nine-colored divine light appeared above the Nine Nether Underworld, suddenly a cyan divine light burst forth from deep within the Nine Nether Underworld, violently colliding with the nine-colored torrent from the firmament.

Primordial divine prohibition Dao arts, primordial creation cyan lotus immortal light.

The cyan immortal light seemed to possess world-purifying power.

The primordial treasure, primordial creation cyan lotus, appeared above Zhang Jian's head, instantly shattering the nine-colored divine light in an instant.

In the depths of the cosmic void, cyan divine light intertwined; Zhang Jian's form burst forth from a cyan lotus, his gaze sweeping over the ten heavens and ten earths, the boundless void, seeing the nine-colored divine light transform into the heavenly calamity, plundering the essence of heaven and earth, he immediately chose to act.

Deep in his palm, the Qiankun Diagram emerged; instantly, behind him coalesced and manifested a ring of chaotic-colored treasure wheel, which instantly evolved into a chaotic strike, fiercely surging toward the firmament, striking the terrifying divine warship clad in nine colors.

At this moment he attained the position of Daozun-level Qinglian Savior Heavenly Sovereign, with Daozun cultivation, he displayed primordial divine prohibition Dao arts from the perspective of the Dao, this primordial divine prohibition Dao art seeming to evolve into boundless chaotic worlds, with chaotic will charging toward the nine-colored divine light.

Above the void, within the nine-colored divine light, the visage of the Zi Yuan Heavenly Emperor appeared, his divine eyes filled entirely with cold, merciless hue, like the indifferent Heavenly Dao, sovereign of all things in heaven and earth.

He raised one hand; deep in his palm seemed to manifest a nine-colored torrent, which instantly transformed into an illusory divine seal, bombarding toward the chaotic immortal light.

Upon collision, above the firmament, billions of millions of miles of void shattered into nothingness, the firmament's stars also shaken by the destructive force, teetering on the verge of collapse.

On the surface, the primordial divine prohibition Dao art's chaotic strike seemed to gain a slight upper hand, yet this change did not make Zhang Jian feel pleased.

Because the Zi Yuan Heavenly Emperor within the nine-colored divine light had not yet used a primordial treasure, merely relying on his own power in a single strike, actually blocking his chaotic strike—truly terrifying beyond measure.

His primordial divine-human body has likely already stepped into the Daozun realm.

This includes cultivation, Dao body, and the Dao fruit of the other shore.

Yet Zhang Jian could sense that the opponent's Daozun primordial spirit, Daozun will, had ultimately not yet taken form, still in transformation.

Moreover, to attain the other shore, one must inevitably undergo the fourth great calamity of annihilation—that is also the great calamity of the other shore.

The Zi Yuan Heavenly Emperor, before eliminating the gods, clearly dared not lightly endure this great calamity, lest he be taken advantage of by Zhang Jian and others.

However, no matter what, they must strike down the opponent from that mysterious realm before the Zi Yuan Heavenly Emperor fully transforms his Daozun primordial spirit and Daozun will, otherwise this battle would likely become difficult.

Even if the opponent has not yet passed the other shore great calamity, as long as his Daozun will, primordial spirit, cultivation, Dao body, Dao heart, and Dao fruit are perfectly integrated, suppressing them would be effortless.

Furthermore, the Zi Yuan Heavenly Emperor still holds the primordial source of the Heavenly Dao of the Celestial Court's heavenly realm.

Above the void, at this moment another vast expanse of nine-colored divine light suddenly arose and ceased; yet in the direction of the Qian Tian Sacred Realm, three streams of light tore through space and arrived, instantly falling into the void above.

The three magnificent immortal lights flowed, similarly resonating faintly with the Heavenly Dao's primordial source, respectively aligning with the three elemental divine powers of heaven, earth, and water, magnificent and vast.

They were Zi Yun Dao Jun, Long Yin Dao Jun, and Tian He Dao Jun arriving.

"Qinglian Dao friend, we have come to lend you a hand!"

Tian He Dao Jun shouted loudly.

Yet above the void, seeing the giant divine warship clad in boundless nine-colored divine light, at the moment the three primordial Dao Jun manifested, its gaze instantly fell upon the three Dao Jun, simultaneously a nine-colored divine light burst from its palm, transforming into a sky-covering giant palm, fiercely grabbing toward the three primordial Dao Jun.

That magnificent and vast power was accompanied by a streak of terrifying golden light.

As this golden light appeared, all things in the void seemed to be layered and stagnated by layer upon layer of golden light, the power of the gods weakened by several layers in an instant.

At this moment, the three Dao Jun's faces changed color; they could not even sense each other's qi mechanism, and their cultivation was suppressed below the Dao Jun level.

Amid Zi Yun Dao Jun's changing expression, a damaged sword blade appeared in his palm.

This is the Heaven-Opening Divine Artifact held by the Primordial Ancestor God Qian Tian Heavenly Emperor, the Qian Tian Divine Sword.

Likewise, it is a top-grade primordial treasure.

Yet this treasure is already damaged, and the damage is quite severe.

Yet the scattered sword qi still instantly pierced through the layers of primordial golden light surrounding his body, transforming into a magnificent sword qi that surged straight toward the firmament, meeting the sky-covering giant palm.

Boom—!

As if countless tremendous forces bombarded the giant palm, yet the giant palm did not break open; instead, it absorbed the terrifying sword qi, transforming into a magnificent giant palm that instantly appeared above the heads of the three Dao Jun.

This terrifying force instantly made the three Dao Jun's faces show horror.

Such power truly exceeded their imagination.

At this moment, above the void, a layer of cyan and white qi intertwined and formed, creating a magnificent primordial Dao diagram that blocked above the three Dao Jun, shielding them from a strike, instantly enveloping the three Dao Jun and shifting them through the void, their forms appearing not far before Zhang Jian.

That primordial Dao diagram transformed into a stream of light, once again flying down into Zhang Jian's palm deep within, manifesting the true form of the Qiankun Diagram.

At this moment, the three Dao Jun gazed upon not far away Zhang Jian, yet on their faces was a great sense of losing face.

They had just arrived at the battlefield, not only failing to help, but nearly being captured by the Zi Yuan Heavenly Emperor in a single glance, their faces thrown to their grandmother's house.

At this moment, the three Dao Jun were about to leap forward again, displaying thunderous methods to regain face, yet were stopped by Zhang Jian raising his hand.

Zhang Jian glanced at the gradually manifesting large ring of nine-colored divine wheels above the Zi Yuan Heavenly Emperor's head—that was the omen of his Daozun primordial spirit and Daozun will about to transform.

He then spoke in a deep voice.

"Three Dao friends, he has already attained Daozun cultivation; ordinary means are ineffective against him. Do the three Dao Jun still have any divine abilities capable of heavily injuring a Daozun-level powerhouse?"

The three Dao Jun exchanged glances, then Zi Yun Dao Jun spoke.

"We indeed still have some bottom-of-the-box methods, namely secret arts left by our father god for us brothers, usable only for one or two strikes at most with our cultivation, after which our cultivation will inevitably regress, and we will be unable to form combat strength for a short time!"

Seeing this, Zhang Jian said:

"As long as we can interrupt his breakthrough, the rest will be left to me!"

Zi Yun Dao Jun, Long Yin Dao Jun, and Tian He Dao Jun exchanged glances, instantly understanding each other's thoughts; at this moment they could only believe this Qinglian Savior Heavenly Sovereign.

If they do not interrupt the Zi Yuan Heavenly Emperor's breakthrough, once this Heavenly Emperor fully masters the Heavenly Dao of the Celestial Court's heavenly realm, they will truly only be able to leave their homeland and depart from the Celestial Court.

As descendants of the Primordial Ancestor God, they will never easily abandon the Celestial Court's heavenly realm.

Zi Yun Dao Jun spoke in a deep voice.

"Good, Qinglian Dao friend, this matter is entrusted to us three brothers; whether we can ultimately save the Celestial Court depends entirely on you!"

At this moment, the three Dao Jun also knew they likely lacked the ability to accomplish this final salvation themselves; at this time, they could only rely on the power of this extraterritorial Dao Jun.

As the words fell, the three Dao Jun each burst forth a stream of immortal light; these respectively symbolized a portion of each Dao Jun's primordial source position, respectively representing the three treasures of essence, qi, and spirit of the Primordial Ancestor God; the three streams of immortal light intertwined in the void, instantly manifesting a terrifying illusory giant divine warship of extraordinarily magnificent stature, its entire body covered in magnificent yang immortal light.

"Three Elements Dharma Seal, Three Saints United as One!"

The three Dao Lords each took their positions, holding seals in their hands.

Born with noble primordial essence, they inherited the Three Treasures of the Celestial Court's Primordial Ancestral Deity, and each represents the essence, qi, and spirit of the Celestial Court's myriad immortals and gods.

For the gods and living beings of the Celestial Court originated from these three deities.

These three forces are undoubtedly extraordinarily powerful.

Yet in Zhang Jian's view, the three Dao Lords have poured all their cultivation into their own brothers, spending years in internal strife, utterly failing to unleash the power of their innate Dao Lord status.

"Such talent wasted—had they exerted a little more effort, even if they couldn't ascend to the position of the Three Primal Origins as Supreme Dao Lords, at least maintaining their status should not have nearly allowed the Dao Ancestor's position to be seized!"

Zhang Jian shook his head silently.

The Dao Ancestor's position is a great fortune left by the Primordial Ancestral Deity for descendants; heaven's decree ordains that the three honored Dao Lords will propagate the Dao lineage and thus govern the Celestial Court for a time.

Yet the three Dao Lords, instead, wasted the opportunity—worse, by obsessing over balance, they allowed figures like the Purple Yuan Heavenly Emperor, ambitious and ruthless, to rise.

At this moment, vast immortal light intertwined from the void, and the three Primordial Dao Lords' forms instantly merged into the colossal Yang Giant, causing their bodies to shift from illusion to substance.

It was a figure clad in imperial robes, surrounded by twenty-seven layers of supreme Yang divine light, gripping a supreme Yang divine sword in hand; upon the blade appeared three grooves of Wang Yuan, each inlaid with two innate pure yang pearls, while the third innate pure yang pearl was damaged.

Purple Yuan Heavenly Emperor also saw that this stature was no less than his own Qian Tian Emperor Lord's true form.

As this terrifying ancestral deity's true form emerged, the myriad spirit mechanisms of the Celestial Court resonated and trembled; even Purple Yuan Heavenly Emperor felt his Heavenly Emperor status suppressed by the vast divine authority emanating from the Qian Tian Ancestral God.

This was the "Primordial Status!"

Representing the power of the Primordial Ancestral Deity!

This power is supreme.

If the Heavenly Emperor's status is ten thousand, then Primordial is one.

One overcomes ten thousand.

The vast Yang immortal light manifested, briefly resisting that terrifying omen of world destruction.

"Splitting Heaven and Earth!"

At this moment, the Qian Tian Giant God suddenly opened his divine eyes; the Qian Tian Divine Sword in his palm shifted from illusion to substance, instantly transforming into a terrifying sword light that descended upon Purple Yuan Heavenly Emperor, its radiance sweeping across the myriad heavens and earth of the Celestial Court's Dao, cleaving chaos and giving birth to countless Dao laws.

Purple Yuan Heavenly Emperor, seeing this, felt his brow split open as nine-colored divine light burst forth, yet a divine seal condensed from the depths of his brow.

This was the Heavenly Emperor's Seal, forged by the myriad immortals and gods of the Celestial Court for the Heavenly Emperor.

It is a divine-path supreme treasure.

At this moment, the nine-colored divine light formed layered barriers before Purple Yuan Heavenly Emperor, yet was shattered by a single stroke of that terrifying sword light.

Upon the blade of the vast Yang sword, it seemed as if blazing suns converged upon its edge; the power to destroy heaven and earth surged downward, and even though Purple Yuan Heavenly Emperor had conjured the illusory Yang Yang Divine Banner to shield his body, the sword light still fiercely struck his chest.

A terrifying wound appeared.

Purple Yuan Heavenly Emperor's icy eyes still gleamed with the rationality of heavenly Dao, as if the wound did not exist, yet his swelling terrifying aura was indeed momentarily restrained.

The unrestrained surge of aura was interrupted.

Boundless nine-colored divine light flowed toward the void, gathering at his wound to repair it.

Seeing that this strike had only slightly nicked Purple Yuan Heavenly Emperor's chest, the Qian Tian Giant God's eyes flashed with intense divine light, as if boundless Yang power burned around him, while the eyes of the three Primordial Dao Lords each flickered with a hint of ruthlessness.

Such methods had only lightly wounded Purple Yuan Heavenly Emperor, and the three Dao Lords all felt they had lost face.

The performance of these three Primordial Dao Lords during this period has truly been lackluster, squandering the prestige of the Primordial Ancestral Deity.

The three Primordial Dao Lords resolved to regain their lost dignity.

"Supreme Yang Opens the Way!"

In his palm, the Qian Tian Divine Sword suddenly erupted with blazing radiance, as if boundless Yang power—ten million suns gathering in an instant, sublimating, then in a flash transforming into a sword of dark annihilation that descended upon Purple Yuan Heavenly Emperor.

The power of this sword was amplified; Purple Yuan Heavenly Emperor's expression turned solemn, and the boundless nine-colored divine light around him condensed instantly into a Dao talisman.

As the talisman appeared, this nine-colored Dao talisman faintly revealed the primordial qi of myriad heavens and earth—one giving rise to myriad transformations, all phenomena emerging.

"This is the Dao of Myriad Phenomena!"

Zhang Jian gazed upon this scene, his eyes flickering; at last he saw the true origins of Purple Yuan Heavenly Emperor.

Moreover, he seemed profoundly versed in the Dao of Talismans, having elevated talismanic Dao to its utmost, using it to condense a Mixed Element Myriad Phenomena True Talisman, governing the central aspect of the innate divine-human appearance.

The power of the Mixed Element Myriad Phenomena True Talisman drew upon a portion of Heavenly Emperor authority, making the power of heavenly Dao creation extraordinarily strong.

At this moment, it bore a strange supreme treasure—a vast divine tower that suddenly arose to block the sword light of the Qian Tian Divine Sword.

The divine tower kept expanding, yet was cleaved in one stroke by the Qian Tian Divine Sword.

The radiance of this treasure dimmed, and the Mixed Element Myriad Phenomena True Talisman likewise lost its luster.

Merely after being blocked by this object, suspected to be an acquired spiritual treasure, the sword light of the Qian Tian Divine Sword was greatly weakened, then instantly blocked by a cluster of Yang Yang Divine Banners condensed into a purification barrier of elemental Yang purple qi.

This strike, however, failed to wound Purple Yuan Heavenly Emperor.

After two strikes, the towering Qian Tian Giant God's true form in the void gradually faded, instantly dissolving into countless specks of light, collapsing suddenly; the three Dao Lords' bodies emerged from the void with dimmed immortal light, yet their eyes still held deep shock.

Though they had combined their power to manifest the Qian Tian Emperor Lord's true form, they still could not wound Purple Yuan Heavenly Emperor's true body.

But just then, the three Dao Lords suddenly looked up, only to see in the depths of the void a terrifyingly radiant light arise—a fierce divine beam like a flood descending from the void, fiercely piercing Purple Yuan Heavenly Emperor's back.

At the same time, the vast water element Dao laws in the depths of the void resonated, the azure sea surged, and upon the heavens appeared a colossal azure gate, like a pillar supporting heaven and earth.

A vast divine power burst forth from within.

Likewise transcending fate, faintly reaching the other shore.
