Chapter 820: Nine Phoenixes Reappear (4K)

Zhang Jian still crossed the void in his true form.

His cultivation had entered the Three Revolutions Dao Venerable realm.

If this were in the ancient ages, this realm could be considered late quasi-sage, with divine power immeasurable, dominating the vast wilderness—where in the vast wilderness void could he not go?

But after the birth of the myriad heavens void, heavenly opportunities increased.

The number of strong ones had grown to a certain extent.

Yet no matter how much it grew, the Three Revolutions Dao Venerable remained the overlord hegemon of the myriad heavens void.

He was one of the myriad heavens wills closest to the Primordial Beginning realm.

A single thought could pierce the universe, reverse-calculating endless changes in fate.

If he fully unleashed his Earth Emperor True Form, even ordinary heavenly dimensions could not withstand his full exertion of divine power.

But in Zhang Jian's view, such ability was still insufficient.

At this moment, even while traveling, he was wholeheartedly contemplating the profound mysteries of the Primordial Beginning status.

He had personally slain several Chaos Demon Gods of the Ultimate Dao level, and even witnessed the Jade Emperor Great Heavenly Venerable's move firsthand—this left a deep impression on him.

Especially regarding the supreme profound mysteries contained in multiple layers of Primordial Beginning profundity, he had gained deeper insights.

He could feel that the Primordial Beginning profundity contained in the《Primordial Beginning Fortune Chart》was, before his eyes, slowly unveiling its mysterious veil.

More Primordial Beginning profundity, it seemed, only required proper comprehension to be directly integrated and mastered!

Also, the core profundity nurtured by the Three Revolutions Origin Secret Art "Nine Revolutions Chaos Green Lotus Generation Great Law" had given him many insights.

The power of the Primordial Beginning status was no longer so mysterious to him.

……

Qingxua Daoist's exploration this time of the innate relic was somewhat distant from the Three Emperors Heavenly Realm.

It was somewhat distant from the orderly region governed by the Heavenly Court.

It could be said to be situated on the edge of the neutral zone.

Further out lay the unknown heavenly realm region where the six great demonic forces ran rampant.

Along the way, Zhang Jian sensed that the Three Emperors Holy Court, the Heavenly Court, and many extraterritorial races, demon clans, and even heterodox Dao lineages had exchanges of fire in many heavenly dimensions.

The myriad heavens void was filled with the aura of war and calamitous slaughter.

A thick current of calamitous slaughter flowed through the myriad heavens, making the minds of immortals and gods uneasy.

And the extraterritorial demon god clan, amidst this calamitous slaughter, became exceptionally active.

Besides this, many innate lineages born of slaughter, chaos, calamity, and destruction—extraterritorial Dao lineages, extraterrestrial gods, even extraterrestrial evil gods and extraterrestrial alien races—had become exceptionally active.

Zhang Jian could see that in the neutral zone, extraterritorial demon gods, extraterritorial heavenly demons, and even disciples of many demonic Dao lineages, immortals and gods openly revealed their traces without concealment, appearing publicly.

This was a manifestation of the coming collapse of order.

In this change, naturally the first to suffer would not be the powerful immortals and gods, but some weak realms.

Many realms were tottering on the brink, even now falling, plunging toward the depths of the Eye of the Return to Ruins!

If it were as before, with Heavenly Court strong ones patrolling, even in non-Heavenly Court directly governed areas, many powerful demon gods would have to behave honestly, lest they become targets.

Moreover, there were realms where humans existed, which would draw strong ones from the Three Emperors Holy Court to intervene.

Or strong ones from other Dao lineages would come to save the world.

Now many demon gods no longer needed to worry!

Zhang Jian could not bear to see this; whenever he saw an extraterritorial demon god clan manifest their true form prominently, he directly used the Earth Emperor Crucible to refine and sacrifice them.

Mosquito legs may be small, but they are still meat.

Wherever he passed, for a time it was as if a 'locust plague' had passed through.

But the objects of his consumption had become extraterritorial demon gods and extraterritorial heavenly demon clans.

Whoever he encountered among extraterritorial heavenly demons, extraterritorial demon gods, and even heterodox Dao immortals and gods, along with celestial giant beasts, he captured and refined together.

Zhang Jian knew this did not greatly help the Three Emperors Holy Court.

But producing even a little effect was good.

Moreover, it could even reciprocate to nourish the heavenly and earthly origin, benefiting himself.

……

As for the several Three Emperors Holy Court missions he had taken on along the way, for his current self, they were even simpler.

These missions included rushing to aid human strong ones in one heavenly realm.

Or assisting the Three Emperors Holy Court in breaking through the void law realm occupied by one heterodox domain.

Even helping Heavenly Court strong ones to besiege the extraterritorial demon god legions of the six great demon realms.

For the current Zhang Jian, these were no great problem.

To save time, Zhang Jian always directly used the Earth Emperor Crucible's marvelous law; upon meeting, he would refine and sacrifice the many troublesome demon god clan strong ones one after another.

After doing this three times, Zhang Jian departed at extreme speed.

Yet his fame spread with each battle, circulating throughout the myriad heavens.

The name of the human elder Taiji Immortal Court Earth Emperor Supreme gradually came to be mentioned alongside some veteran human elders.

For example, Stone Ancestor, or the Star Royal Daoist, the Feather Royal Daoist, etc.

……

After hastily completing all affairs, Zhang Jian then rushed before a magnificent and towering realm.

It was an extraordinarily strong and towering realm.

Yet around this beautiful realm, dense demonic qi, evil qi, and also immortal light and divine light were spread everywhere.

It was quite strange.

It seemed, like the former Eastern Heavenly Realm, to have completely opened the void law realm, not prohibiting any strong one from entering.

Zhang Jian looked at this vast realm from afar, his expression somewhat calm.

He knew that such an open realm usually produced two extremes.

One extreme was extremely powerful, or had an extremely powerful background.

Like the Three Sovereigns Heaven Realm, the Central Heaven Realm, the Kunlun Heaven Realm, the Nine Luminaries Heaven Realm, the Ten Directions Heaven Realm, and so on.

Or it was extremely chaotic.

Like the present Stone Dragon Realm!

This realm was said to have been discovered long ago by an elder of the dragon clan among the myriad heavens and worlds, hence its name, Stone Dragon Heaven Realm.

But the powerful dragon clan had never been able to hold onto this Stone Dragon Heaven Realm.

Afterwards, many demonic path lineages invaded it in succession.

But later, there were several rounds of tug-of-war, of contention.

Sometimes it was controlled by powerful beings from outside the realm, sometimes by heterodox lineages gaining the upper hand, and sometimes by powerful beings of the ancient demon god clan.

Correct!

The ancient demon god clan also had power in the Stone Dragon Realm.

Earlier, in the Central Heaven Realm, the War God Xing Tian, who broke the heavenly prison and abducted many powerful beings of the ancient demon god clan, left traces in this realm.

Zhang Jian's expression was calm.

According to the information he obtained from the Three Sovereigns Holy Court, he knew that the ancient demon god clan's War God Xing Tian was very likely still in this realm.

Including the several primordial ancestors of the ancient demon god clan who had returned from the cycle of rebirth across the myriad heavens and worlds.

Now, the Stone Dragon Realm was a mixture of fish and dragons, extraordinarily chaotic.

Inside, it was unknown how many formidable figures were hidden.

But now that his cultivation had reached this level, Zhang Jian was not afraid of these formidable figures.

He currently had no intention of exterminating demons and upholding the Dao, but these people should not provoke him, otherwise he would not mind sending these old antiques back to the river of time.

His figure transformed into a stream of light, directly sinking into the depths of the Stone Dragon Realm.

……

In the depths of the Stone Dragon Realm, above the firmament, a peculiar great sun stood firm upon the firmament, while the surrounding stars emitted a five-colored radiance, faintly visible even in daylight.

This scene was extraordinarily strange.

Zhang Jian manifested in an ordinary human state, his eyes sweeping over the void above; in his eyes, those strange and wondrous stars were clearly formed from a portion of the power of peculiar incense-offering deities.

Among them were also rays of evil god radiance, vast as an abyss.

Their power was projected from unknown dimensions of time and space, falling upon the primary material dimension, forming the projections of the stars.

These stars were a shortcut to the various evil god realms they had created.

Compared to these strange and wondrous, chaotic forces of evil gods and immortals, the strangest thing was still the great sun above the firmament.

This great sun's entire body was no longer wrapped in noble gold, nor normal crimson, but was entwined with a faint, dark hue.

It was not like demonic qi.

Nor like evil qi, immortal light.

But rather a layer of extraordinarily ancient innate divine power.

Clearly, a powerful being of the innate deity clan had occupied the authority of the great sun.

Seeing this, Zhang Jian secretly shook his head.

This heaven realm is truly too chaotic.

Innate deities, evil gods, and even heterodox paths and orthodox immortals could peacefully coexist in one heaven realm—this was too strange.

However, Zhang Jian did not dwell on it too much; his magnificent primordial spirit will delved deep into the heavenly Dao source network of the Stone Dragon Heaven Realm.

Shortly thereafter, Zhang Jian became familiar with the changes in the myriad heavenly and earthly Dao rules within the Stone Dragon Realm.

Entering a heaven realm with the body of a Dao Venerable, Zhang Jian could clearly perceive the differences within.

He no longer needed to slowly familiarize himself with the changes in the Dao rules of a heaven realm.

Because, as a Dao Venerable of the Other Shore, he himself was the source of all dharmas.

Falling into any heaven realm, he needed only to integrate a thread of qi mechanism into it, and he could naturally merge into it.

If he were willing to replicate a copy of his mysterious root Dao fruit and integrate it, he could still obtain a portion of the heavenly Dao's feedback, authority, fortune, and even merit.

This was where the Dao cultivation of the Dao Venerable of the Other Shore lay.

Zhang Jian's comprehension of the 'Primordial Opening Fortune Diagram,' the original heavenly Dao general outline of the vast and barbaric heaven and earth, also counted as mastery of heavenly Dao secret arts, enabling him to do even more.

By borrowing the divine power of the Nine Great Heavenly Dao Jade Mansions, he briefly explored many secrets inside and outside the Stone Dragon Realm.

However, there were some places that were extraordinarily mysterious; he still held back and did not rashly investigate them.

One was the Turbid Evil Abyss, the inner dark world formed from countless negative sources of the Stone Dragon Realm.

This was no different from the Dark Talisman Realm in the Talisman Heaven Realm.

The Dark Mansion Realm was the true form of the Dark Talisman Celestial Venerable transformed, becoming the old nest of the evil spirit clan.

While the Turbid Evil Abyss had become the source of many evil gods in the Stone Dragon Realm, and even of the Stone Dragon Realm's demonic path; inside, it was unknown how many formidable demonic domains had been nurtured.

The extraterritorial demon gates within, one after another, seemed to directly connect to the six great demon realms.

Secondly, on the earth, there were several places where terrifying qi mechanisms existed within vast secret realms.

Inside, there was also a portion of heterodox path powerhouses, or perhaps extraterrestrial god clans, powerhouses of the innate deity clan residing.

Above the firmament, even more vast divine power formed a vast expanse of pure incense-offering god Dao domain; inside, there were extremely formidable powerhouses seated in command, thus achieving a fragile balance with the Turbid Evil Abyss.

And Zhang Jian still sensed from within the aura of the ancient demon god clan!

Inside, there were several strands of extraordinarily terrifying qi mechanisms.

A fleeting glance, Zhang Jian withdrew his gaze, and simultaneously his figure vanished into the void.

Meanwhile, he had already found the trail of the Qingxiao Daoist.

This time, Qingxiao Daoist was more troublesome, having actually entered the depths of the Turbid Evil Abyss.

……

At this moment, deep within the Azure Firmament.

Above the Azure Firmament, boundless divine light burst forth—this is the realm where the Stone Dragon Divine Court resides.

Currently, the Stone Dragon Heavenly Realm is nominally governed by the Stone Dragon Divine Court.

However, in reality, the radiance of the Stone Dragon Divine Court can only cover part of the Divine Prefecture at the center of the Stone Dragon Heavenly Realm.

All other prefectures are entirely under the jurisdiction of various heretical Dao lineages, or are ruled by indigenous demonic Dao traditions.

At this moment, deep within the Stone Dragon Divine Court, a ferocious and abnormal qi surged suddenly, instantly piercing into the River of Fate deep within the Stone Dragon Heavenly Realm, as boundless killing intent gathered around his body.

It was a terrifying demonic god's apparition.

It was a headless demonic god, using nipples as eyes, navel as mouth, with an extraordinarily long black-gold giant axe lying horizontally across its knees; beside the emerald-green jade-like pool lay a bone-made shield, its white bone surface covered in countless scars from blade and sword strikes, with faint mysterious inscriptions flowing with a dark black luster, emitting a startling aura.

At this moment, dark black light emanated from the severed neck.

After a moment, this terrifying divine power gradually retracted.

Around him, a faint trace of vast and magnificent will flickered with an astonishing hue.

Yet not far from the pool, several primordial and ancient deities suddenly stepped out from behind towering divine pillars.

These primordial and ancient deities walked barefoot, with ancient forehead ornaments, each radiating a ferocious qi.

Leading them was a woman with black hair flowing like a waterfall, bearing a phoenix-heart forehead ornament between her brows, her phoenix eyes sharp and piercing.

Upon seeing the headless demonic god, she slightly furrowed her brows, then spoke.

"Criminal Heaven, what's going on?"

Facing this war god from myth, she showed no courtesy at all.

Though her cultivation at this moment was far from comparable to that of the headless demonic god.

"Someone is spying on us!"

The headless demonic god muttered in a low voice, his tone like clashing metal—heavy and hoarse.

Nine Phoenix Demon God furrowed her willow brows and said.

"Still couldn't find her?"

From the mouth of the Criminal Heaven Demon God, thick clouds of vapor surged forth intermittently, his heavy voice emerging from within.

"That person's cultivation is extremely strong—I cannot trace his whereabouts!"

Upon hearing this, Nine Phoenix Demon God furrowed her brows: "Could it be that the Heavenly Court has learned of our whereabouts and sent powerful ones to follow us?"

Upon hearing this, Criminal Heaven Demon God remained expressionless, merely continuing to sit cross-legged with eyes closed.

Seeing this, Nine Phoenix Demon God was not surprised, only a hint of contemplation appeared in her beautiful phoenix eyes.

Although the Stone Dragon Divine Court is extremely distant from the Heavenly Court, the ancient demon god clan is aware of the changes across all realms.

The ancient demon god clan did not prepare to participate in the Human-Demon War, and even wished for both sides to perish together.

Whether human or demon, both have grievances with the ancient demon god clan, even blood feuds.

This includes the Heavenly Court.

Yet the ancient demon god clan must also remain vigilant.

In the myriad realms, accidents are common.

The ancient demon god clan also never lacks enemies.

At this moment, beside them, a stout yet powerful demon god spoke.

"Nine Phoenix, the two primordial ancestors still need more time in arduous cultivation—we must not let anyone disturb them!"

He is Feng Bo, and also a renowned powerful god-demon above the heavenly void.

Nine Phoenix's expression remained unchanged, only speaking calmly.

"This is the Stone Dragon Heavenly Realm, an unrefined dimension of the heavens—not a territory directly governed by the Heavenly Court!"

She immediately led the gods in a hurried departure.

The headless demonic god, however, remained like a statue, sitting cross-legged by the pool's edge, as if continuing to sleep.
