Chapter 667: Water Mother Seizes Power, the Arrow of Shooting the Suns (4K)

At this moment, within the gate, a noble, sacred, and tall figure emerged from within.

The sound of its pendants chimed as if the great Dao of the Infinite Water Element was unfolding, making the figure seem like the source of the Heaven-Earth Water Element Dao, and it also bore the aura of a nurturing mother goddess of the divine path.

Boom—

At this moment, above the apocalyptic sky of the celestial court, endless auspicious clouds and auspicious qi appeared, celebrating the birth of the eighth Dao Lord.

The birth of the eighth Dao Lord was a shot in the arm for the wavering grand Heavenly Dao, giving the celestial court another pillar to prop up heaven.

"Another extramundane Dao Lord!"

In the void, the three Primordial Dao Lords watching this scene suddenly changed expression.

As the local tyrants of the celestial court, they had lived from the age of ignorance to the present, and they had impressions of most ancient immortals and ancient gods of the celestial court.

But this innate deity before them, radiating an extraordinarily grand divine aura, was utterly unfamiliar to them.

Clearly, it was likely another extramundane Dao Lord.

Fortunately, this extramundane Dao Lord was not an enemy.

At this moment, they landed on the pierced chest of the Purple Yuan Heavenly Emperor, that terrifying wound plunging straight into his innate divine-human body, yet causing him to emit strands of terrifying blue light, with infinite cold air also emanating from within.

That a divine object could afflict even the innate divine-human body of the Purple Yuan Heavenly Emperor shows how dangerous this divine weapon is.

While the three Primordial Dao Lords were shaken, they also grew somewhat wary.

Above the void, seeing the Purple Yuan Heavenly Emperor gradually being frozen, his expression remained unchanged.

He had long known that the Jade Carving Dao Lord had already arrived early.

Yet the Jade Carving Dao Lord's single strike freezing the Purple Yuan Heavenly Emperor still amazed him.

To restrain a Dao Lord-level powerhouse with Xuanbing attribute power is truly extraordinary.

It seems the Jade Carving Dao Lord came well-prepared.

However, given the power of the Water Mother Dao Palace, possessing such inheritance is nothing surprising to him.

As various thoughts flashed through his mind, Zhang Jian also knew the opportunity was rare.

He had already prepared; behind him, four-colored divine light emerged from his back.

Within the four-colored divine light, four slender, extremely sharp divine needles appeared, flashing with the four-colored light as the four innate divine needles shot forth at incredible speed, formless and traceless, as if transcending time, space, and fate.

The four-colored divine light instantly merged into one in the void.

What the Purple Yuan Heavenly Emperor felt: a rare hint of gloom appeared deep in his eyes, as strands of nine-colored divine light condensed around him into innate yang purple-gold flowers, forming a defensive innate divine prohibition Dao law to block before him.

Yet the four-colored divine light flashed past— in an instant his expression froze, then in the next moment it changed dramatically.

Though his vast Dao cultivation flowed around him, a terrifying Four Symbols destructive power erupted deep in his brow, drilling into his innate divine-human form, as countless divine essences, blood, meridians, and even part of his Dao Palace were instantly destroyed by the innate Four Symbols destructive force.

This was the destructive power of the Innate Four Symbols Divine Needles.

The Innate Four Symbols Divine Needles come as a set; if separated, each is merely a low-grade innate spiritual treasure, each containing subtle wonders, useful as household items, travel gear, or weapons for killing and arson—but when united, they contain the power of innate Four Symbols destruction, becoming a pure slaughter treasure.

Extremely terrifying.

The Purple Yuan Heavenly Emperor, by accident, became the first victim of the Innate Four Symbols Divine Needles.

At this moment, the destructive power of the Innate Four Symbols erupted, as if manifesting as pure Innate Four Spirits, carrying the power to destroy all phenomena, spreading within the Purple Yuan Heavenly Emperor's body.

His body was layered with nine-colored divine light flowing, attempting to mobilize his Heavenly Emperor status to fully suppress this treasure's power.

"Evil Emperor, receive death!"

At this moment, the Jade Carving Dao Lord's cold voice echoed from the void, and instantly twelve pearls like sun and moon smashed down from the void, striking the Purple Yuan Heavenly Emperor's skull, causing his innate divine-human body to spew innate divine fire.

These were the acquired spiritual treasures, the Sun-Moon Qiankun Pearls.

At this moment, Zhang Jian's means were also ready; his body was filled with infinite purple qi, the pure purple status of the Qing Lotus Redeeming Heavenly Sovereign shining brightly at his brow, and now infinite primordial yellow earth essence gathered from all directions toward him.

Behind him, the Map of Rivers and Mountains and the State appeared, within which gradually reflected the ten heavens and ten lands, infinite mountains and rivers, including the Tai Ji Divine Mountain, the root of the earth, as infinite earth essence flowed toward Zhang Jian's body, while at his brow another three-turn Dao Lord status began to gradually fully transform into pure purple.

This was the Earth Soul God Lord status.

Taking advantage of the Purple Yuan Heavenly Emperor's world-destruction, Zhang Jian seized the status of sovereign of the celestial court's earth, integrating it into the Earth Soul God Lord status, transforming it into pure purple.

Boom—

At this moment, infinite auspicious clouds and auspicious qi emerged from the depths of the void.

Infinite majestic Dao Lord divine might burst forth from around Zhang Jian's body.

By relying on the pure purple status of the Earth Soul God Lord, elevated from the celestial court's earth essence, it remained a single-pole Dao Lord status; once leaving the celestial court, lacking the support of the celestial court's infinite earth origin, this pure purple status might regress—unless Zhang Jian matched the Purple Yuan Heavenly Emperor, steeled his heart to seize a world's creation, but Zhang Jian clearly would not do such a thing as killing the hen for the eggs.

The promotion of the Earth Soul God Lord status caused the Dao Lord cultivation radiating from Zhang Jian's body to clearly rise to a higher level.

At this moment, the two pure purple statuses intertwined, and vast, majestic divine power burst forth from around him, flowing into the Qiankun Map within, where the infinite Qiankun power within the treasure converged around his body, chaos reappeared, and in an instant it surged downward to strike the Purple Yuan Heavenly Emperor.

Still a chaos strike.

But as Zhang Jian's cultivation and divine power surged, it instantly became a beam of vast chaos divine light piercing through the Purple Yuan Heavenly Emperor's six-yang celestial head.

The appearance of that innate divine-human figure, shoulder-to-shoulder with sun and moon, now trembled violently, as infinite divine light and stars burst forth from around his innate divine-human form, and the power of the Innate Four Symbols spirits tore forth from within, as if evolving into an ocean of the water, fire, wind, and earth Four Symbols spirits.

The innate divine-human true body collapsed, and the vast Dao Lord-level divine power began to plummet rapidly.

A strand of fierce divine light flew out from within, about to rush into the deep source of the celestial court's Heavenly Dao.

"Unreckoning Water Mirror, Heavenly Circuit Water Element Yin-Yang Grand Formation!"

Yet in the depths of the void, unknown when, water mirrors appeared above the void, these mirrors as if inlaid upon the infinite void, completely enveloping it, becoming a cosmic water mirror labyrinth.

The Purple Yuan Heavenly Emperor's true body manifested and instantly dove into it.

He soon also experienced what Zhang Jian had once endured.

In this boundless water mirror world, no matter how hard one struck, it was like punching cotton, and no matter how one tried, one could not escape this vast water mirror grand formation.

"Evil Emperor, you have defied the Heavenly Dao and incurred heaven's guilt; today is the time to repay the Heavenly Dao's cause and effect—you had better offer your head!"

"Please, Heavenly Dao, lend me your strength to slay the Evil Emperor and rescue Heaven from peril!"

At this moment, in the depths of the void, the Jade Carving Dao Lord manifested as a Water Mother body, and as she activated the Water Mother Dao Palace's wondrous method, she seemed to faintly communicate with the celestial court's grand Heavenly Dao; as the Heavenly Dao's source empowered her, her divine power rose layer upon layer, faintly as if replacing the Purple Yuan Heavenly Emperor, becoming the one who holds the authority of the Heavenly Dao.

This is to seize the authority of the celestial court.

If she were allowed to kill the Purple Origin Heavenly Emperor, with this heavenly scroll, it would indeed be possible to succeed.

Above the void, Zhang Jian watched this scene, his eyebrows slightly raised; deep in his brow, the Primordial Jade Pearl emitted boundless radiant light, and his eyes flickered slightly.

Who would not desire the primordial source of heavenly Dao from a celestial realm?

To obtain the heavenly Dao source is equivalent to becoming the lord of a celestial realm.

Later, when the two gods divide the cake, they could also seize the initiative.

Zhang Jian had to admit that Yuzhuo Dao Jun, born of the Water Mother Dao Palace, had far more experience in this regard than he did.

Although he had guidance from the two Dao Lords of the Tongshan Dao Tong and the Qingxia Dao Lord, he still could not match the supreme inheritance of the Water Mother Dao Palace.

Yet at this point, Zhang Jian harbored no destructive intent.

Moreover, he sensed a faint anomaly.

Although the Purple Origin Heavenly Emperor had suffered successive heavy blows, he had not lost his capacity to resist.

It remains unknown whose hands the heavenly Dao source of the Celestial Court and Heavenly Realm will fall into!

In the Mirror-Water World, countless nine-colored divine lights transformed into a surging flood, spreading and staining part of the mirror-water, yet after eroding a portion of the mirror-water, the nine-colored flood rapidly expanded.

If that nine-colored flood were allowed to continue spreading, the Innocent Mirror-Water would likely be unable to withstand it.

But then, above the void, a golden divine light flowed from the void and instantly locked onto the Purple Origin Heavenly Emperor clad in nine-colored divine light.

This was the innate spiritual treasure held in Yuzhuo Dao Jun's hand.

This object is named the Binding God Rope, and it is also a great treasure.

It was once a key target of Zhang Jian's vigilance.

However, during his duel with Zhang Jian, Zhang Jian had obtained advance information from Bai Shi, made preparations, and thus did not give Yuzhuo Dao Jun an opportunity to act.

At this moment, with calculation against innocence, the Purple Origin Heavenly Emperor was somewhat caught off guard.

Yet the Purple Origin Heavenly Emperor's reaction was also extremely swift; behind him, waves of grand pure yang energy burst forth, instantly transforming into clusters of primordial yang purple-gold flowers that blocked that golden light.

At this moment, above the void, Yuzhuo Dao Jun's Water Mother Dao form had acquired a peculiar magical artifact.

It was a strange ice-crystal divine bow; when drawn to full, an exceptionally bright arrow appeared on the bowstring.

In the deep, silent void, as this arrow emerged, it seemed as if countless ghosts and gods wailed in lament; behind the Water Mother Dao form, a grand heavenly Dao omen appeared, faintly revealing the scene of ten suns falling, heaven and earth plunging into darkness and extinction.

At this moment, Yuzhuo Dao Jun silently chanted a secret incantation, and another icy voice floated in the void.

"Purple Origin Heavenly Emperor, this arrow once slew the ten Golden Crow princes of the ancient heavenly court in primordial ages; dying by this arrow is no disgrace to you!"

The arrow's tip flashed with intense lunar divine light; deep in the Purple Origin Heavenly Emperor's Dao heart, a terrifying omen now surfaced.

He was already severely wounded at this moment; he felt that if struck again by this arrow, death would be certain.

Yet he now felt that he might not easily block this arrow.

"It seems my fate is indeed exhausted!"

At this moment, deep in the Purple Origin Heavenly Emperor's brow, the heavenly Dao divinity slowly diminished, and a portion of humanity returned.

His cultivation method is exceptionally special; it was when he discovered the talisman Dao secret method that he simultaneously found this fragmentary secret method; once cultivated, it can maintain absolute heavenly Dao divinity and conform to the heavenly Dao.

The closer one approaches the realm of the Other Shore Dao Sovereign, the more immense the heavenly Dao divinity becomes.

Yet the return of humanity occurs only in two cases: one is complete attainment of the Other Shore, where divinity and humanity can freely transform and the Dao heart is flawless.

The other is when one's cultivation regresses to a certain extent.

He is undoubtedly of the latter kind.

The innate divine person's transformation was completely interrupted; he suffered severe wounds, and in addition, from devouring heavenly Dao creation, he endured a tremendous heavenly Dao backlash; at this moment, he felt that in the depths of the void, boundless calamity evil surged anew into his life force, causing his fortune's radiance to dim and tend toward darkness.

At this moment, his mind seemed to uncontrollably replay his entire life.

As an innate divine being, his origins were not exalted, nor was he among the most exalted innate divine beings of the Celestial Court and Heavenly Realm, the Innate Divine Sages.

Yet his fortune was still good; relying on the 'Good God' halo upon him, though his cultivation was low, he widely cultivated connections, used these connections, and while maintaining the outward appearance of a radiant divine establishment, he secretly employed every means to rapidly grow.

Having survived the most perilous eras, he finally grew, and with fortune turning, he gained the recognition of three Innate Dao Lords and the public endorsement of myriad immortals and gods, thus attaining the rank of Heavenly Emperor.

Yet after attaining the rank of Heavenly Emperor, he found his troubles multiplied.

Although the Heavenly Emperor resides in the Celestial Palace, supreme and noble, controlling the pivot of Taiji, he must still face the pressure of the other five Dao Lords; he can only tremble and strive to maintain the balance of the Celestial Court, and do his utmost to lean on the three Innate Dao Lords, becoming their 'puppet'!

Having painstakingly attained the form of a Dao Lord, yet his demands grew ever greater, even to the point of taking risky measures for breakthrough.

At this moment, the Purple Origin Heavenly Emperor truly did not know where he had failed.

"No, I cannot fail!"

"The three Dao Lords cannot control my fate; the Celestial Court's heavenly Dao constraints cannot bind me; you are no different!"

"Although I have failed once, I will still rise again; you too will ultimately become like the three great Dao Lords, stepping stones beneath my feet!"

The Purple Origin Heavenly Emperor murmured to himself, but in the end, his pupils burst forth with unprecedented radiance; the ferocity and coldness deep in his eyes seemed to return.

He gazed toward Yuzhuo Dao Jun in the void; Yuzhuo Dao Jun's heart gave a slight jump as he saw numerous radiant clouds burst from the Purple Origin Heavenly Emperor's primordial spirit, and a grand divine power regenerated within him.

This resembled a temporary breakthrough!

Yuzhuo Dao Jun's expression remained unchanged; the lunar god-slaying arrow in his hand transformed into a beam of lunar light, instantly piercing the Purple Origin Heavenly Emperor's true body, yet a fierce mixed-yuan immortal light flew from deep in the Purple Origin Heavenly Emperor's brow.

It was a Mixed-Yuan Myriad Phenomena True Talisman.

This was the Purple Origin Heavenly Emperor's life talisman, also the locus of the Dao Sovereign's Dao fruit; at this moment, however, it was entwined with multiple terrifying qi mechanisms.

The outer layer was soaked with the destructive power of the innate four symbols; at the center, a void appeared, yet pierced by the lunar god-slaying arrow, it stood on the brink of collapse; at this moment, it fully activated the life Dao law on the Mixed-Yuan Four Symbols True Talisman, explosively expanding; within, countless innate talismans suddenly burst forth divine light, each like a firecracker ignited, as if countless suns underwent violent transformation, rushing toward Yuzhuo Dao Jun.

This was the self-detonation of the life talisman!

Yuzhuo Dao Jun's face changed color!

The Way of the Talisman Immortal is profoundly mysterious, capable of condensing Dao Sovereign-level innate true talismans; its quality is in no way inferior to any acquired spiritual treasure; at this moment, wrapped with the self-detonation of the Heavenly Emperor's rank, its power is truly not ordinary terror.

Her form instantly transformed into a flowing light, vanishing into the Innocent Mirror-Water.

In the distance, Zhang Jian also changed color, waving his hand to summon the Cosmic Map to conceal himself.

The next moment, boundless void was shrouded in endless destructive light.

The void was a vast, blank expanse, all of it turned into nothingness.
