Chapter 671

Dragon Ancestor Great Saint trampled the imprint of that piece of primordial Chaos; although he paid a considerable price, his whole body drenched in blood now, yet that spirit of breaking through myriad obstacles, soaring out, filled him, making the Dragon Ancestor appear with awe-inspiring divine might, intimidating hearts and souls.

——If he didn't open his mouth, that might be more fitting.

The Dragon Ancestor closed his mouth, lonely and invincible, a peerless hero.

Once he opened his mouth, a few words tumbled out, falling into the ears of some ancient god Great Saints, and the flavor seemed off.

——Well done, you old dragon!

——At first glance, with thick brows and big eyes, he looks like a loyal and honest fellow!

——He actually secretly changed the Great Dao, yet usually he uses old goods to deceive and fool us?!

——Treacherous!

Countless 'old antiques' at this moment harbor resentment in their hearts, silently criticizing, their faces showing a hint of strangeness.

However, considering the Dragon Ancestor's blood-soaked slaughter of that Chaos showing his strength, everyone turned a blind eye and deaf ear, saying nothing, selectively blind and deaf, fearing that if the Dragon Ancestor later settled scores, they truly couldn't withstand the Dragon Clan's attack.

Of course, some speak from the heart, others speak freely without restraint.

"Cang, you…" Taiyi's gaze was strange, wanting to speak but stopping, stopping then wanting again, finally he couldn't hold back and spoke his mind: "You truly do not cling to antiquity nor reject change."

"But your changed Great Dao… involves some things that entail Great Dao conflict; aren't you worried that someday a group will come looking for trouble?"

Donghuang is the clearest about this.

That Chaos was evolved by him, the scroll of ages cutting across ancient and modern, and then was slain through by the Dragon Ancestor.

At the moment when Dragon Ancestor erupted with utmost strength, his Dao was vast and unhidden, forcibly splitting open the killing and refining of the primordial Chaos imprint… This strength is indeed supreme, yet inexplicably, Donghuang worries for the Dragon Ancestor, feeling perhaps one day Dragon Ancestor might suddenly kick the bucket, dying of 'suicide'.

Because the Dragon Ancestor's Dao aura has indeed been elevated, yet for the resources and foundation sought for this elevation, even Donghuang feels his teeth ache, admiring his fearless courage.

He relaxed some control over the Chaos imprint, and thus the Dragon Ancestor's Dao pierced deeply into the trace of primordial Chaos, stark and vivid, reflected in the ages of heaven and earth, drawing myriad Dao to resonate, colors splendorous.

In a hazy moment, it seemed as if heavenly music chanted, and supreme law manifested, expounding the Dragon Ancestor's legal principle.

Divine beings listened attentively; in a flash they grasped a meaning, their expressions shifting, they quietly lifted their gaze to the boundless void, where in its deepest place stood an ancient, majestic hall.

……Great is the Qian Origin, all things arise from it, thus it governs heaven. Clouds move, rain falls, things take form. Great brightness endures; six positions are completed, riding six dragons to rule heaven. The Qian Dao transforms, each corrects destiny, preserves harmony, thus it is advantageous and steadfast……

……Also, a human sovereign who had been stepping forward suddenly had a strange countenance, flipped his hand and summoned a Fa-Dao sword, which was a relic of Emperor Donghua.

……If a sage can strengthen the state, he need not follow its cause; if he can benefit the people, he need not observe its rites……

The Human Emperor heard another layer of meaning, which is deeply rooted.

But now this profundity falls upon the Dragon Ancestor, so……

"Hahaha!"

The Dragon Ancestor laughed heartily; the blood-light on his body faded, the wounds of his blood-soaked battle vanished, his valor reaching the utmost.

"Great Dao conflict? Would I be afraid?"

"Is it that Hongjun can step out of the Zixiao Palace to find trouble for me?"

"Or can Donghua feign resurrection from the grave to catch up with me?"

The Dragon Ancestor looked left and right, gazing arrogantly upon humanity, "They're all incapable!"

"If so, I'll just take a bit of their Great Dao… no, for us divine beings, that couldn't be called stealing; it's borrowing!"

"I borrow their Great Dao to use, turn it into furnace fire, temper and elevate my own Dao, becoming Pangu's nourishment… any problem?"

"No problem!"

"Besides, their Great Dao is really quite handy." The Dragon Ancestor Great Saint, having already exposed his upgraded Dragon Dao, now no longer hides it, openly displaying it as a divine light piercing eternity, splendid and dazzling.

"One is the Heavenly Dao, one is the Legal Dao; used to break your Chaos Dao, it's just right!"

"Heavenly Dao is the regulation of Honghuang, Pangu's creation; facing Chaos, it's just right; Legal Dao is the order of people's hearts, the common folk's unity, anchoring the future, exquisite to the finest detail."

"My Dragon Dao commands both, reigning above, turning heaven and humanity, circulating through the six empties, myriad transformations without limit, embracing infinity, as the general outline of the human Dao; it can be praised for myriad ages, moving with the world, endless."

The Dragon Ancestor's face showed a brilliant smile.

If one said that before, everyone as dragons still had flaws, as Donghuang said, not everyone necessarily wanted to become a dragon.

But now, the Dragon Dao, having been poked and prodded by the Dragon Ancestor, has undergone a huge upgrade and change, indeed poised to swallow the Heavenly Dao and Legal Dao, becoming a norm that can transcend the Heavenly Dao yet also shift with the world, a sublime idol, a beacon of the human Dao.

"Dragon Virtue's hidden ones are not easy in the world, nor do they achieve fame; withdrawing from the world brings no boredom, not seeing yet no boredom; when happy they act, when worried they refrain, indeed they cannot be uprooted—these are the hidden dragons."

"From now on, my Great Dao can be called 'Virtue'!"

The Dragon Ancestor declared boldly, "When I attain the Dao as Pangu, this Dragon 'Virtue' shall imprint eternity, lock the ages, to correct sun and moon, settle people's hearts, all following me!"

When the Dragon Ancestor Great Saint's words fell, heaven and earth trembled, mountains and seas roared in unison, all were startled.

At the same moment, on the mountains and rivers, Fengxi's gaze instantly turned sharp.

His gaze profound, crossing layers of time and space, collided with a certain figure working in the bird master's place.

"Brother Cang Dragon truly has ideas." Taiyi clapped his hands and sighed, "He has seized the lifelong essence of the Great Dao of fellow Daoists Hongjun and Donghua, used it for himself, stepped on them to rise; this courage, I truly admire! Admire!"

"Since you admire, then study well!" The Dragon Ancestor looked down on all, unhumble, "In the great calamity, the timid starve to death, the bold are stuffed to death."

"To fear and hesitate in everything—what good is that?"

"Want to play? Then play big!"

"Hongjun is indeed formidable… but he has already entered the palace and cannot come out!"

"Donghua is full of scheming and depth—so what? He's already buried in the tomb; I'm afraid he'll come to me for royalties?"

"I originally hesitated, considering alliance matters… but Xihuang's stance is clear, even his own sister doesn't help, so it seems there's no need to consider seeking it."

"Simply lay it all out, so you all know my stakes!"

Dragon Ancestor Great Saint laughed to the ages, "When I attain the Dao as Pangu, the Dragon Dao will reign supreme under heaven, for being the strongest and oldest; I will even sue the Heavenly Dao and Legal Dao for infringement, demanding they pay me royalties!"

The Dragon Ancestor spoke freely, with no restraint, charging ahead on the stubborn road, no one able to stop him.

But, he didn't know.

At this moment, some people's gaze toward him was… strange.

Above the starry heavens, Xihuang was fighting Yuanhuang with fists, endless thunder and fire; suddenly he pressed both hands on the strings, the music halted, his face bore an inscrutable expression, the corner of his mouth hid a hint of a smile.

In the Purple Dawn Palace, Hongjun slammed the table, his eyes wide open, gnashing his teeth, "I've entered the palace? I can't get out?"

So, you, the Azure, dare to pretend I don't exist, reaching out to taint my Heavenly Dao?

Just because of these few words of yours…… Azure, you wait for me, I will definitely come out and settle the score with you!

Within the Bird Master, the leisurely elder was preparing to follow the army on campaign, together with Chonghua to earn some battle merits, the Civil Fate clicked his tongue, yet he didn't utter any harsh curses; he simply silently produced a draft from somewhere and stared at it repeatedly.

Looking on one side, calculating on the other, muttering to himself, "Good thing back then when I trapped the old dragon, I made some preparations for the future, measuring the depths of the four seas and the sea eyes of the Myriad Heavens… Let me see where to start, so I can nail down the lair of this old superior of mine!"

Civil Fate is not a fuel-saving lamp.

In fact, not only him… the Bird Master's current direct superior is also not a fuel-saving lamp.

"The Way of Virtue?! This dragon must not be kept, otherwise it will become a great calamity!" Chonghua's eyes deep and gloomy, he seriously began to sharpen his sword.

This sword, the more it is polished, the more it resembles…… a Wu-slaying sword!

"The struggle of the Great Dao…… the struggle of the Great Dao!"

Human Emperor Fengxi took command of the Fire Master's great army, led the troops out, coordinating with the dinosaur army that runs rampant across the world, intending to annihilate all military forces of the Heavenly Court on the lands of Honghuang, to thoroughly sweep clean the battlefront, and then proceed to wage war in the starry void.

While attending to his duties, his mind was not idle, "Tsk tsk, I never expected…… I have been appointed by His Majesty the August Emperor and His Majesty 'Honghuang', as the conscience of the Human Dao, the exemplar of virtue."

"Indeed, there's still this act, someone can become my Dao enemy?"

Mmm…… Senior Dragon Ancestor's attitude of "I just borrow your money and don't repay it, and afterwards I even want you to give me money" really hits the spot, making me also want to learn a thing or two from it!

Forget it, forget it…… Looking at Senior Dragon Ancestor so full of confidence, so arrogant as to have no friends, surely he can sweep through invincibly, any calamity is nothing to worry about, right?

I just won't remind him about that "Chonghua might have a problem" matter!

What evil thoughts could little Fengxi have?

Little Fengxi's belly is full of evil thoughts!

"I am a member of the Nüwa faction…… but stepping on your two feet is not bad."

"I am now selectively forgetful; no one can say anything about me, right?!"

The Human Emperor mounted the chariot, the horizontal beam as the yoke, the vertical beam as the pole, sword pointing to the world, he commanded the human great army, and charged straight out.

All along the advance, it could be said to be unstoppable in every direction, invincible horizontally and vertically, sweeping away the mountain and river demons, thereafter there was no more dissent.

……

Dragon Ancestor is invincible.

At the very least, in the skill of drawing hatred, he is peerless under heaven, unmatched in the world.

Of course, this also can't be blamed on him…… after all, his choice is theoretically problem-free.

The lord of the Heavenly Dao was confined.

The lord of the Legal Dao died very clearly.

On a certain quiet, deserted night he let out two howls, expressing his idea of interest-free "borrowing" the Great Dao; seeing no one come to discuss copyright issues with him, he casually reached out and touched it twice—does that pose a problem?

No problem!

All procedures have been followed, no one objected, so it's reasonable!

And then, after he completes his Pangu cultivation, even procedural matters need not be worried…… according to the principle that the stronger and older prevails, it's not certain that the Heavenly Dao and the Legal Dao won't become his Dragon Dao from ancient times!

Moreover, this hope is not small.

The Dragon Dao seized the essence of the Heavenly Dao and the Legal Dao, becoming nourishment; the growth obtained also befits the Dragon Ancestor's adventure, giving him tremendous, the confidence to contend again with Pangu, filling the deficit from when Donghua instantly turned him into a Pangu minor trumpet and blasted him to death, then brutally killed him into a Taiyi Daluo floor tile, and also gaining a tremendous boost, faintly showing signs of catching up to Nüwa's silhouette.

Fact proves that the progress from painstaking cultivation cannot compare to the satisfaction of directly taking advantage of a boss, going straight to shear its wool.

At this moment, the Dragon Ancestor is not fighting alone!

He covertly took Hongjun's Heavenly Dao, plundered Donghua's Legal Dao, and earned through words the endorsement of Nüwa's Creation Dao——that grand gesture of endowing the myriad beings with draconic nature…… the Dao of three top experts converges here, being overseen by the Great Dragon Dao, the sublimation of their battle power is heaven-defying!

When the Dragon Ancestor laid his cards bare, no longer concealing himself, striding like a dragon and stepping like a tiger, he transformed into eternal divine light and burst forth, piercing the star sea; even Taiyi, despite holding the Chaos Bell, this supreme treasure of creation, his face turned somewhat green.

Too powerful!

A blade of fist light flared up—this was the Dragon Fist being wielded, directly annihilating all existence, uniquely cutting through eternity, opening up the future; with his own body alone, he forcibly tore a corner from the demon race's canopy of law that stood in the present age.

"This is theoretically the result that would require the entire Wu Clan's strength to wage war in order to achieve!"

The Dragon Ancestor alone accomplished it!

At this very moment, the Dragon Ancestor…… is absolutely the most handsome chick under heaven and earth!

"What kind of people are these teammates of mine?!"

Di Jiang Zu Wu, who opposed the Yao Marshal Báizé, sighed deeply, his feelings endless.

"The times have changed too damn fast!"

"Each one of them, so capable of pretending! So capable of hiding!"

Di Jiang whispered, "I previously thought that Nüwa's forbearance was already enough to make one's scalp go numb."

"Now looking again…… what a fine fellow!"

"Azure is also pretending!"

"The pretense is quite convincing!"

"He's deceived everyone!"

"Báizé, you say, can this world still get better?"

"With so many sinister, black-hearted colleagues…… this honest person of mine, caught in the middle, is really trembling with fear!"

Di Jiang Zu Wu lamented, at this moment unknown how many demon gods and great Wu have felt resonance, hearts filled with sorrow.

Indeed.

The events of this day, each one, were too absurd, seriously refreshing their worldviews.

Those peak figures, truly each one outdoes the other in acting!

"I, an ordinary Taiyi as pure as a white lotus, in this era of Wu-Demon contention, am merely a supporting role." Di Jiang Zu Wu felt endless regret, "Alas, I previously still harbored some unrealistic fantasies……"

"Alas……"

「These days, if you don't have a bit of ulterior motive, you really can't get by……」

「Those who can sit in the Pangu position are all without martial virtue……」

「Old friend! Shen Yan! Shen Yan! 」 Báizé Yao Marshal reminded, 「The members of the Pangu Board, what bad intentions could they have? None at all! 」

「I guarantee it with my identity as an observer and recorder! 」
