Chapter 717

Deep within the Golden Origin Celestial Realm.

At this moment, inside a grand immortal abode, this immortal abode was ancient and primitive in appearance, yet its surroundings were filled with a qi mechanism nearly akin to that of an innate blessed land, as Qingxia Daoist Monarch gradually refined the abode's pivot in her hand.

At this moment, she also suddenly opened her eyes, her gaze seemingly able to see a vast and magnificent divine light flowing out from one direction within, within which lay boundless pure yang, and the aspect of flames blossomed forth.

In the void, within the pure yang divine light, a phantom of a golden-red blessed land cave heaven manifested, and within it, a fire-red twin spiritual root emerged, with countless golden-red leaves rustling, as if boundless Dao sounds were bursting forth from within.

With the emergence of this innate blessed land cave heaven, within it, streams of earth-shaking treasure light flowed out.

Among them were not lacking innate divine lights.

That was the radiance of innate spirit treasures!

"Has the Heavenly Emperor's Treasury of Tang Valley emerged?"

Qingxia Daoist Monarch sensed this change, her expression one of astonishment.

She took advantage of the opportunity when the Nine Great Divine Emperors were opening the human realm to enter this Azure Heaven Immortal Abode, obtaining the legacy left by the Ancient Sacred Heavenly Abyss Daoist.

Clearly, others also harbored the same idea, yet they seized the opportunity to find Tang Valley's blessed land and opened the Heavenly Emperor's Treasury within.

It was rumored that this Heavenly Emperor's Treasury was established by Emperor Jun of the Ancient Monster Court, who, sensing the danger of the God-Demon War, took a portion of the treasures from the Heavenly Treasury and sealed them within Tang Valley.

This was meant as the foundation for the Golden Crow clan's resurgence.

Rumor had it that within it were not lacking innate spirit treasures!

Qingxia Daoist Monarch merely showed a slight change in expression; she had no intention of participating, even if the Heavenly Emperor's Treasury might contain the Eastern Emperor Bell, she would not attempt to take it.

Because it was too dangerous!

The Nine Great Divine Emperors might not react immediately, but they would certainly not easily abandon this treasury.

Ten birds in the forest are not worth one bird in hand.

Rather than reaching too high and going to contend for this Heavenly Emperor's Treasury, it is better to focus on securing this Azure Heaven Immortal Abode.

Within this Azure Heaven Immortal Abode lies a portion of the legacy of ancient hishore sages, left by the Heavenly Abyss Daoist, which is greatly beneficial to his cultivation.

Boom—!

In but an instant, yet one saw the surroundings of Tang Valley suddenly erupt with a tremendous collision sound, and yet one saw the protective prohibitions around the entire Tang Valley blessed land cave heaven instantly shattered by a nine-colored divine light, which shot straight into the depths of Tang Valley, instantly colliding violently with a golden divine light that had intruded from within.

The fluctuations of heaven-and-earth-destroying power erupted from the depths of Tang Valley.

Then, a vast phantom of nine-colored divine light appeared above the Tang Valley blessed land, within which was a nine-colored divine phoenix; its appearance seemed to merge with the boundless heavenly Dao of the deep void, and mighty divine power radiated from her nine-colored divine phoenix's entire body, instantly descending upon Tang Valley.

In an instant, the Tang Valley blessed land cave heaven seemed to be submerged by boundless nine-colored divine flames.

"Hold the formation, do not lose focus— that person will be dealt with by the elder sister; he cannot escape!"

Above the void beyond the realm, Danque Divine Emperor at this moment transformed into a true form of the Earth Goddess bearing cosmic wings, her aura boundless and magnificent, at this moment she took the place of the Yuan Phoenix, beginning to command the gods of the Golden Origin Celestial Realm to deal with the extraterritorial demon god legion above the Azure Heaven.

The innate ancient zither before her emitted a secluded Dao sound, shaking the boundless spacetime of the extraterritorial realm, as if the great Dao laws of heaven and earth were likewise shattered by that secluded Dao sound.

Amidst the zither's sound, the myriad extraterritorial demon gods heard the sound of destruction in all directions.

When the zither's sound appeared, their mighty extraterritorial demon god bodies, even their demon god primordial spirits, had already collapsed and disintegrated.

While Zhang Jian, fallen into the human realm above the Azure Heaven, heard in his ears the resonance of the myriad earthly veins.

That was a perfectly harmonious Dao sound.

Moreover, it was a Dao sound of heaven-and-earth concerto resonance, as if the Dao sound born from the collision of layer upon layer of heavenly and earthly Dao laws had been put to use.

As far as the eye could see, countless extraterritorial demon gods instantly turned into a vast ocean of blood, spreading out, while simultaneously being blown by an invisible force, gradually evaporating.

Furthermore, there was an invisible sound blade, like the light of heaven-opening and earth-parting, slashing toward several demon lords among the extraterritorial demon gods.

Those several demon lords' faces showed extreme terror.

Yet, in the depths of the void, a curtain appeared, a black curtain unfurling heavenward and earthward, sweeping in, attempting to sweep away those several demon lords.

This was a extraterritorial demon god of Paragon level making a move.

Yet, seeing the invisible sound blade slash through, that heaven-covering curtain split into countless fragments, whereupon two demon lords instantly turned into blood mist, their demon god primordial spirits directly erased by the invisible Dao sound.

Yet, still one demon lord remained, swept up by the shattered heaven-covering curtain, turning into a black light and vanishing from sight.

"Truly perfect!"

Above the void, Zhang Jian gazed upon this strike, his pupils also stirring with some shock.

Danque Divine Emperor's application of earthly laws had reached a godlike state, the so-called state of transformation already beyond description.

That immensely profound earthly law, in her hands, was as light as if without error.

The power of multiple heavenly and earthly origins could even be freely combined.

Like that strike just now, combining the resonance profundity of the earth, the gravity profundity, the attraction profundity, and the sound profundity into one blow, which instantly eliminated over half of the extraterritorial demon god legion.

Indeed, it was astonishing.

Zhang Jian quickly withdrew his gaze, whether within the Golden Origin Celestial Realm or in the extraterritorial struggles of the human realm, he made no preparations to intervene.

His mission this time was to assist.

To assist the Golden Phoenix Divine Emperor in perfecting the heavenly and earthly Dao law network of the Golden Origin Celestial Realm.

His form transformed into a azure dragon-shaped flowing light.

The azure lotus immortal light on the surface was a disguise; the dragon-shaped flowing light was like a diligent little bee, constantly mending and patching various innate primordial qi wheels, ultimately forming within a short time a great composite Dao totem.

Boom—!

This immediately triggered a portion of the heavenly will of the Golden Origin Celestial Realm to descend, beginning to take over this attached cosmos, and swiftly perfecting the heavenly and earthly embryonic membrane.

Upon the body of the Cloud-Rumbling Giant Kun, the Ten Thousand Beasts Demon Sovereign, seeing this, his expression slightly tightened, and suddenly in his hand appeared a demon bow.

The appearance of this demon bow seemed to release a vast and magnificent divine power from before him, and a pitch-black demon arrow condensed into form.

Roar—roar—roar!

At this moment, behind him seemed to appear a vast demon domain, within which myriad beast types emerged from within, emitting terrifying howls, ultimately condensing into a dark black river that suddenly fell into the demon arrow's depths, instantly transforming into a flowing light shooting toward the human realm.

The pitch-black demon light tore through the just-formed heavenly and earthly embryonic membrane, straight toward the core origin of the human dimension, intending to pierce that Dao totem and wear down the condensed heavenly will within.

Zhang Jian slightly narrowed his eyes, yet his heart rang with alarm bells.

That demonic bow did not look like an innate spiritual treasure, but its power was extremely strong.

It might be an acquired spiritual treasure of middle grade or above.

Zhang Jian seemed to hear countless curses and destructive Dao sounds in his ears.

Deep within his brow, the third-grade innate creation blue lotus faintly transformed into a strand of azure immortal light, as if about to be summoned forth.

"Don't even think about it!

"

But just then, a golden divine light arrived ahead despite coming later, and suddenly manifested in the void as a golden Taiji sword of light, its body formed from intertwined golden light.

The golden Taiji diagram flew out from within, instantly blocking the heavenly will of the mortal realm.

Within the golden Taiji diagram, boundless sword qi seemed to turn like wheels, carrying the power to grind all living beings to dust.

It is hard to imagine that the Golden Phoenix Divine Emperor, who teaches and transforms countless beings as the Human Emperor Dao Ancestor, excels in the sword Dao, her sword Dao filled with grandeur, the style of the Imperial Dao, and strategic maneuvering.

The boundless golden Taiji sword qi shattered most of the black demonic arrow, yet an invisible arrow shadow still pierced through, rushing toward the heavenly will of the mortal realm, but in an instant was entangled by a layer of neither-living-nor-dead black-and-white divine light.

The innate yin and yang qi continuously rotated, wearing down, dissolving, and transforming the boundless demonic qi of the myriad beasts within into pure innate yin and yang, finally forming an innate yin-yang Dao diagram that vanished in place.

"Hmm?"

This scene astonished not only the Myriad Beasts Demon Lord in the void above, but also the Golden Phoenix Divine Emperor not far away.

The Myriad Beasts Demon Lord's arrow was extraordinarily astonishing.

It was not an ordinary root-level Dao method; even after having most of its power worn down by the Golden Phoenix Divine Emperor's Taiji Dao sword, the root-level divine power it contained was still enough to severely injure the heavenly will, yet it was easily worn down by that strand of innate yin-yang divine light.

This is a genuine Dao Venerable-level divine ability.

This Qinglian Dao Master appears to block it with effortless ease.

The Myriad Beasts Dao Venerable had no time to think further; at this moment he rapidly formed seals with his hands, and black yin myriad beast banners naturally manifested before him, blocking an incoming streak of golden divine light.

Terrifying true forms of myriad beast demon gods appeared, yet were chopped down like vegetables by the innate spiritual treasure Sun Essence Wheel, the terrifying golden light spinning and rushing forward, carrying fiercely sharp divine power.

But with these myriad beast demon gods delaying him, changes arose around his body—four heads and eight arms manifested, each arm actually a furry beast claw, resembling a monkey's arm, with various divine weapons appearing, either for defense or offense, yet they sent the Sun Essence Wheel wielded by the Xiyi Divine Emperor flying away.

"Myriad Beasts, do you think we don't exist?"

At this moment, the Xiyi Divine Emperor's icy voice sounded almost simultaneously.

Yet another figure had already appeared above the Myriad Beasts Demon Lord's head, her expression cold.

Her appearance was completely unexpected by the Myriad Beasts Demon Lord, his face slightly changing color.

But his reaction was still extremely swift; a terrifying Dao fruit auspicious cloud emerged from behind his head, and a grand demonic treasure wheel condensed above his head into a myriad beast demon cloud canopy.

Meanwhile, the Minghuang Divine Emperor's attack had already arrived.

A brilliant golden divine light fell from the void, cleanly tearing apart the Myriad Beasts Demon Lord's thousand-times-refined supreme demon body.

Even the defensive-type treasure shield raised by the Myriad Beasts Demon Lord could not block the golden light bursting from the fingertip.

Everything was destroyed with crushing ease.

Even though his true form below was vast and boundless, comparable to a realm-sized Yun Cloud Giant Kun, it turned into countless specks of void light in the golden light in an instant.

Other realm-outside demon venerables of the Black Abyss Demon Realm watched this scene, their faces changing color.

The Myriad Beasts Demon Lord's cultivation far surpassed theirs, yet he was slain in a single encounter.

At the moment the Myriad Beasts Demon Lord's supreme demon body collapsed, within that boundless demon domain, countless terrifying myriad beast phantoms emitted earth-shaking wails; some of these myriad beast phantoms faintly combined with demonic qi, seeking to re-manifest their true forms.

But a strand of golden light seemed to come along the river of time and space, turning into golden light, encircling a fleeing root demonic qi.

Deep within the root demonic qi, phantoms of countless demon beasts, spirit beasts, and divine beasts seemed to condense and take shape, manifesting the atmosphere of beast Dao civilization, yet wrapped by the golden light, instantly burned to nothing.

The golden light recoiled, instantly reappearing on the Minghuang Divine Emperor's fingertip.

Her exquisite face bore an expression as stern as the heavenly Dao.

At this moment, her slender fingertips danced with golden flames; that vast divine power, whether to gods or hundreds of millions of demon gods, caused them to be shocked and lose color.

"Quick battle, quick decision—since these demon heads have already come, then let us bury them all here!"

The Minghuang Divine Emperor's face remained calm as she issued commands, her form vanishing again, yet her disappearance caused the faces of several other Black Abyss Demon Realm outsider demon gods to change color, all wanting to leave, but each was tightly entangled by their respective opponents.

The various Divine Emperors of the Golden Origin Heavenly Realm at this moment had different expressions, yet they would not let their own opponents take the opportunity to leave.

At this moment, deep in the mortal realm, before the preliminarily formed heavenly Dao space, the Golden Phoenix Divine Emperor's face showed some abnormality.

The Minghuang Divine Emperor's cultivation truly exceeded her imagination.

In a different place, she had no confidence in so cleanly annihilating the Myriad Beasts Demon Lord with a single strike.

The Myriad Beasts Demon Lord is strong; although he attained the Dao through a single great Dao principle, his years of cultivation are not short.

However, the Golden Phoenix Divine Emperor can affirm that the Minghuang Divine Emperor certainly did not reach the other shore by relying on supreme strength; she inquired about this with the Yuanhuang Divine Emperor.

Among the nine great Divine Emperors, only Yuanhuang reached the other shore by relying on supreme strength.

Then, when the Minghuang Divine Emperor reached the other shore, it might have been by relying on the identity of a peak Dao Venerable to traverse the entire realm; otherwise, it would not be so outrageous.

In the depths of the Golden Phoenix Divine Emperor's eyes, a hint of envy appeared.

Among the heavenly voids, it is rare to see a strong one reach the other shore realm with the foundation of a peak Dao Venerable.

And among those Dao Venerables on the other shore, she is absolutely an outstanding one.

Ordinary, peak, and supreme—these are three important thresholds.

Among the nine great Divine Emperors, several reached the other shore realm by relying on ordinary Dao Venerable identities; they are already strong, but usually dare not easily leave the outer void.

Because ordinary Dao Venerables walking outside are actually more dangerous than Dao Lords.

They are more conspicuous than Dao Lords.

Yet when she attained the Dao, she did not do so by relying on a peak identity to reach the other shore, but neither was she an ordinary Dao Venerable; rather, she was between the two.

Therefore, she herself is much stronger than several other powerful ones among the nine great Divine Emperors.

How strong she was when she attained the Dao, naturally she will become even stronger later.

Of course, later she can also catch up.

Everything always has an unexpected turn.

It's just that the probability of such unexpected turns is usually extremely low.

Before the Heavenly Dao space, Zhang Jian stood still in the void, he witnessed the Minghuang Divine Emperor easily defeat that demon lord, and he was not at all surprised.

In the past, in the river of time and space, a fleeting glimpse was enough to see that the Minghuang Divine Emperor was already able to contend with the Xuanyuan Holy Emperor in the ancient era.

What kind of existence is the Xuanyuan Holy Emperor?

He is one of the three supreme Holy Emperors of the human race; it is feared that back then he had already approached the Yuanshi realm, or perhaps even stepped into the Yuanshi realm; the fact that the Minghuang Divine Emperor could contend with him shows how formidable he is.

And now, after an era has passed, who knows to what extent this Minghuang Divine Emperor has become tyrannically strong.

At this moment, outside the extraterritorial void, one terrifying extraterritorial demon god after another was pierced through their true bodies by streaks of golden light in a short time, and they were slaughtered to the last.

The methods of this Minghuang Divine Emperor are truly ferocious.

At this moment, Zhang Jian also felt a hint of relief in his heart; back then, he was fortunate to have the token of the Three Emperors' Heavenly Realm on his person, and he received the obstruction of the Xuanyuan Holy Emperor; otherwise, he would surely not have passed the first great calamity of destruction.

However, this change has only strengthened Zhang Jian's resolve in his Dao heart.

He believes that when his three thousand source qi are fully completed and formed, he will surely have hope of attaining the Supreme Dao.

At this moment, as the extraterritorial demons were slaughtered clean by the Minghuang Divine Emperor alone, the human realm was freed from disturbance and gradually took shape.

Vast and magnificent atmospheres were born from the newly formed human realm; above the azure sky appeared boundless expanses of meritorious golden light, and moreover, the faint sounds of heavenly Dao immortals could be heard, with endless auspicious clouds spreading across billions of miles.
