Chapter 709

Not long after, the originally seemingly tranquil Honghuang world suddenly saw ten powerful, unmatched wills surge from all directions at once. Each of these wills contained a unique Great Dao principle.

In the Eastern Heavenly Dragon Mountain Range, a will like a giant dragon shot straight into the clouds.

That was precisely the form of the Chaotic Heavenly Dragon, its body stretching a hundred thousand zhang, accompanied by a deafening dragon roar, it fiercely charged toward the Eye of Heaven.

Strands of pure Nine Yang Qi, condensed to the extreme, seemed intent on utterly burning away the lofty Eye of Heaven.

That overbearing, peerless aura of "I alone am supreme," together with the rolling dragon might, was the unique bearing of the Ancestral Dragon.

At the same time, in the western Honghuang, golden light suddenly blazed forth, and mighty streams of vow power shot up into the sky, gradually gathering to form an Eight Treasure Merit Pool.

Boundless merit light shot straight toward the horizon, transforming in the air into mysterious runes that exuded a powerful aura capable of bewildering heaven and earth and saving all beings.

This was the Buddhist Dao will contained within Hun Kun Old Ancestor, encompassing the vast path of aspiration and the broad path of salvation, revealing Hun Kun Old Ancestor's grand ambition in the Buddhist Dao realm, so much that even the Heavenly Dao was bewildered by it.

At this very moment, within the Expanding Dao Sacred Land, four strong wills shot up into the sky—a willow branch, a Kunwu Mountain, a Yin Yang Diagram, and a Heaven-Earth Diagram—each carrying a kind of Great Dao power, they tore through space and merged into the Eye of Heaven.

The originally hazy Eye of Heaven grew ever more hazy, the originally obscure heavenly secrets became even more chaotic, and the entire Honghuang Dadi was shrouded in an invisible mist.

Boom—

Four wills brimming with demonic energy shot straight up from the northwestern land, they were extremely overbearing, containing endless killing intent, baleful aura, and boundless heart-demon power; four Sky‑rushing Killing Swords, a God‑slaying Spear, and twelve All Heaven Magic Banners fiercely pierced into the Eye of Heaven.

Wooooo…

Waves of ghostly wails permeated the Honghuang realm, and in the heart of every living being rose a deep fear.

"The Heavenly Dao shatters, the Dao foundation appears!"

Voices echoed throughout heaven and earth.

With a thunderous boom, the Eye of Heaven, under the impact of the Patriarchs' wills, actually exploded open; an invisible Heaven‑Earth Chessboard, accompanied by the Heavenly Dao Net, faded into the space between heaven and earth, leaving behind nine futons imbued with a mysterious aura.

These nine futons exuded a sacred aura, containing the thought of transcending the Heavenly Dao; upon them appeared illusory sacred thrones, and also Dao Fruits manifesting in a Hunyuan state.

"Hahaha, indeed so—this is the foundation for sainthood contained within the Heavenly Dao: nine futons, nine strands of Hongmeng Purple Qi, nine Acquired Sacred Thrones; gathered together they can form one Innate Sacred Throne, and it's all mine!"

Just as the Eye of Heaven exploded and revealed nine mysterious futons, Rahu and the others successively appeared.

Only seen treading demon clouds, with the Slay Immortal Four Swords on his back and the God‑slaying Spear in hand, his aura shook heaven and earth; as soon as he appeared, it seemed he commanded a vast expanse of Honghuang, and in a flash he arrived above Mount Buzhou, the very place where the Eye of Heaven had exploded.

With a grasp of his demonic hand, he seized two futons, and two strands of Hongmeng Purple Qi were taken into his hand.

At the same time, the Ancestral Dragon, Hun Kun Old Ancestor, and each of the Expanding Dao Four Patriarchs received one futon, and another futon was obtained by Chiming Dao Ancestor Lu Ya.

"No heaven, no earth—I alone am supreme!" Rahu roared, his aura surging dramatically, like an invincible great demon that dominates heaven and earth.

"Heavenly Dragon Imperial Dao, the Dragon Court rules heaven! I am the Heavenly Dao, I alone am supreme!" The Ancestral Dragon also refused to be outdone; he fused the Hongmeng Purple Qi contained in the futon into his dragon soul, and instantly his understanding of the Heavenly Dao rose to a higher level.

"Three Ages Buddha, Buddhist Dao perfected, central Samsara, Western Pure Land, Eastern Pure Glazed—I have a great vow: all may become Buddha, transcend rebirth, and the Heavenly Earth shall receive great salvation!" Hun Kun Old Ancestor resembled a holy Buddha, supremely divine, as golden light formed behind his head, within which the Great Dao of the Pure Land was expounded.

After obtaining a futon, the Expanding Dao Four Patriarchs, unlike Rahu and company who immediately displayed their Dao, swiftly fled to the Expanding Dao Sacred Land.

At the same time, Hun Kun Old Ancestor also fled to Western Miluo Mountain, and Chiming Dao Ancestor Lu Ya transformed into a fleeing rainbow and escaped to Heaven Beyond Heaven.

"Huh? There's actually such a powerful being—Chiming Dao Ancestor Lu Ya—I've never heard of him; my opportunity, why should it be on him? No, it should be on a woman related to him, or I should go meet him!" The Ancestral Dragon muttered to himself, then pursued the fleeing rainbow.

After obtaining the Hongmeng Purple Qi, these Patriarch powerhouses all wished to return immediately to merge and comprehend the chance to become saints; none dared to linger, leaving only the fearless Rahu, the Demon Ancestor.

Suddenly, Rahu opened his eyes; a dignified gaze, like that of the Heavenly Dao, and the Slay Immortal Four Swords on his back shot out fiercely.

Boom—

Rahu's Slay Immortal Four Swords tore through space, enveloping the four directions of heaven and earth; in the sky appeared a formation diagram brimming with killing aura.

Within the diagram, four heavenly pillars descended, sword qi crisscrossed, containing four kinds of chaotic sword qi—Slaughter and Entrapment Absolute—and the four Slay Immortal Swords each merged into a sword pillar.

"Rahu, what do you intend?"

Only seen, the Yin Yang Old Ancestor was actually blocked by Rahu using the Slay Immortal Formation; the Yin Yang Diagram formed a defense, isolating the Slay Immortal sword qi.

"Hmph! Hand it over!" Rahu, extremely overbearing, thrust the God‑slaying Spear toward the Yin Yang Old Ancestor.

Rahu, ambitious, since his awakening has aspired to attain the position of an Innate Saint, "I alone am supreme"; in ancient times he originally had a chance to become a saint using Honghuang's fortune, but the trend of the Heavenly Dao changed strangely.

He no longer wishes to wait; if these Hongmeng Purple Qi are absorbed by those Patriarchs, obtaining them later will be even harder.

The Slay Immortal Four Swords formed endless sword qi, the God‑slaying Spear exuded baleful aura, intending to slay the Yin Yang Old Ancestor.

The Yin Yang Old Ancestor also possessed Patriarch-level cultivation; how could he simply offer his neck for slaughter? He immediately unleashed a great Divine Ability.

"Yin Yang Great Dao, Yin Yang Diagram!"

A Yin Yang Diagram appeared, spinning, and strands of Yin Yang Qi seemed able to melt anything; Taiji gives birth to Yin and Yang, Yin and Yang transform all things.

Hiss—

Strands of Slay Immortal sword qi were melted, and the God‑slaying Spear stalled.

However, the Slay Immortal Swords and the God‑slaying Spear are the two greatest innate treasures of Honghuang, containing the strongest innate slaughter‑battle qi; how could the Yin Yang Old Ancestor's Yin Yang Diagram possibly withstand them?

Pfft!

A cracking sound came; only seen, the Yin Yang Diagram was torn into billions of fragments by the Slay Immortal sword qi, and the God‑slaying Spear fiercely stabbed toward the Yin Yang Old Ancestor's skull.

"Yin Yang Well!"

Boom!

The Yin Yang Old Ancestor's body exploded, transforming into two black‑white wells that pierce heaven and earth; these two Yin Yang Wells contain the most potent condensed pure Yin and pure Yang qi, enacting the creation of the Yin Yang Great Dao; their mighty power makes heaven and earth tremble, and the already scarred Honghuang realm once again shows rifts in heaven and earth.

"I didn't expect your true form to have been fully repaired; as soon as you take that step toward sainthood, you can regain the cultivation level of the Chaos Demon God—but let you know my demonic path's majesty!"

Rahu said, and behind him appeared three silhouettes, each possessing his true body's cultivation level, their mighty aura pressing down on the Yin Yang Wells.

Boom— the Yin Yang Wells suddenly trembled, and a feeling of fear emanated.

"Ah! Three Corpses Demon Path…"

Indeed, Rahu finally acted; the human demon manipulated twelve magic banners, absorbing the seven emotions and six desires of all beings in heaven and earth, forming a Heaven‑Earth Heart Demon that invaded the Yin Yang Old Ancestor's mind.

The earth demon stepped on the ground; streams of earthly baleful aura he controlled formed strands of baleful qi that merged into the God‑slaying Spear, which then emitted a dark black light, piercing into the Yin Yang Well.

As for the heaven demon, it manipulated the Slay Immortal Sword Formation, stabbing into the Yin Yang Well.

This is the most powerful force that has appeared in Honghuang's history; the collision of this force is destined to overturn heaven and earth, to shatter the sky and split the earth.

Boom!

The Yin-Yang Heavenly Pit exploded, and wherever the utmost Yin and Yang qi passed, everything was melted.

"Ah!" the Yin-Yang Ancestor screamed in anguish.

His soul had actually been largely devoured by the God-Slaying Spear; only the immortal true spirit, carrying a portion of the soul's power, managed to escape.

This is the power of the innate treasure God-Slaying Spear, transformed from the stem of the Chaos Green Lotus; even the immortal soul of the Chaos Demon God can be devoured and destroyed.

"Hiss!" Only a cluster containing mysterious power, a futon, slowly emerged from the Yin and Yang qi; Rahu saw it, burst into wild laughter, and immediately grabbed the futon and stored it away.

While Rahu was collecting the futon, the Yin-Yang Ancestor's immortal true spirit, carrying fragments of the Yin-Yang Heavenly Pit, swiftly escaped into the Honghuang Dadi, vanishing without a trace.

At that moment, deep within the Honghuang Dadi, there was a place shining with mysterious runes; a huge 'Seal' character, like the heavenly dao's net, tightly sealed a figure within.

At that very moment, a stream of pure Yin and pure Yang qi permeated, transforming into strands of mysterious runes, continually wearing down the power of the heavenly dao's seal.

"Three corpses of the demonic path — I never expected Rahu to have cultivated the demonic path to such an extent, having mastered the three ways of heaven, earth, and man, and now he has even obtained the three strands of Hongmeng purple qi…" Yang Mei said anxiously.

"His Cultivation Level alone is already immensely strong; I never expected he also possesses two innate treasures, both being implements of slaughter — who could rival him?" Qiankun Ancestor sighed.

"The fate of the Yin-Yang Daoist friend is that Rahu has declared war on all beings of Honghuang; now we have no choice but to ask Daoist Hongjun to act! At worst, we will offer the Hongmeng purple qi to Daoist Hongjun — better than being slaughtered by Rahu!" Kunwu proposed.

"Although Daoist Hongjun is powerful and possesses several innate treasures, he has always lived in seclusion, cultivating the Dao, paying no heed to the strife of Honghuang; to ask him to come out and muddle through this affair, I fear he may not agree." Qiankun Ancestor worried.

"Under boundless calamities, who can escape? Rahu has cultivated the demonic path; his state of mind has been refined by the demonic path into a bottomless abyss, his greed insatiable. Once he gathers the nine strands of Hongmeng purple qi, he can achieve innate sainthood and become the strongest being in Honghuang — how could he tolerate the existence of such a powerful one as Hongjun? I think Daoist Hongjun also understands this; let's go, we're heading to Mount Lingxiao!"

Yang Mei Ancestor said, waving his hand, and placed his own dojo from the Hongdao Holy Land into the hollow willow; Qiankun Ancestor followed suit, storing his own dojo within his Qiankun sleeve.

The Hongdao Holy Land is where their disciples cultivate, and also the treasure they have accumulated over countless ages — how could they lightly abandon it?

……

"Huh? Gone? Could there be some hidden place beneath the Honghuang Dadi that I haven't noticed?" Rahu wondered.

But the greatest purpose of his journey was the foundation for becoming a Dao; although he failed to find the Yin-Yang Ancestor's soul, it was no great loss for him, so Rahu fled to the Northwest Demon Palace, intending to as quickly as possible integrate the foundation for sainthood into his own soul.

……

Deep beneath the Honghuang earth, tens of millions of zhang down, a strong current of Yin-Yang qi surged forth; an immortal true spirit, carrying the Yin-Yang flood, fled in panic.

huff...

Strands of ever more profound yin-yang qi caused the figure to halt, a 'Seal' rune flashing with light; those yin-yang qi seemed to contain the ultimate mystery of the Dao, a primordial qi mystery surpassing any world.

Huh? A Heavenly Dao seal? These yin-yang qi are actually superior to my yin-yang great Dao; could a supreme treasure containing the yin-yang mystery be sealed here, or a heaven-defying great demon? The Yin-Yang Ancestor wondered.

At the same time, a surge of delight rose in his heart: 'The Dao favors me—indeed, the true opportunity lies here. This yin-yang great Dao is exactly what I have been seeking. I am formed from the Yin-Yang Heavenly Well; I have never been able to break through the bottleneck of extreme yin and yang. Even if I cultivate extreme yin and yang to the Patriarch Realm, what then? Above extreme yin and yang lie the Nine Yin and Nine Yang, yet this yin-yang great Dao is clearly stronger than the Nine Yin and Nine Yang.'

Pure yin and pure yang qi are the yin-yang qi deep within the hearts of all beings; yet as a Chaos Demon God, the Yin-Yang Ancestor has always looked down on acquired beings, possessing the mindset of a mighty one who regards all things as ants—why would he study the secrets hidden deep in the hearts of such weak beings?

The Dao often hides in unnoticeable corners.

Although the Yin-Yang Ancestor is a Chaos Demon God, he could not discern the secret of these yin-yang qi before him.

Suddenly, the pure yin and pure yang qi twisted, coiling into two black-and-white jiao dragons, then transformed into a pair of scissors that, wielding great power, ruthlessly ripped apart the seal formed by the Heavenly Dao's net.

Pfft!

A gap appeared in the seal; a figure leapt out, immediately employing the Palm World technique to draw the seal rune into his hand, then his brow split, forming a vertical eye that shot forth a dignified light, sucking the seal rune inside.

Hehe, fortunately Honghuang has not yet formed the immortal realms and the Nine Netherworlds' reincarnation, allowing me to deploy the Yin-Yang Jiao Dragon Scissors Divine Ability formed from pure yang immortal qi and Nine Netherworld earth qi; this Heavenly Dao seal contains the seal Dao of Honghuang's Heavenly Dao, perfectly suited to supplement the Heavenly Dao of the Carefree Wanderer realm! Ye Qin chuckled.

However, he did not realize that his act of devouring the Heavenly Dao seal startled the Yin-Yang Ancestor, and the endless Dao runes within the Palm World also filled the Yin-Yang Ancestor with dread.

However, upon discovering that Ye Qin's cultivation level had not yet reached the Patriarch Realm, he was overjoyed, wrapping all the fragments of his Yin-Yang Heavenly Well into a ball and drilling into Ye Qin's soul. (End of chapter)
