Chapter 591: Meeting the Great Venerable

A toy?

Xingzun turned a deaf ear.

He admired this Li Daoren for still using psychological warfare at a time like this, but in the face of absolute strength, all flashy methods were meaningless.

Beneath the Great Dao Ark, you are destined to perish!

"Taking the Great Dao as the foundation, manifesting the form of the Ark for use, one can carry infinite worlds, infinite wisdom, all existence, and sail against the current of the Time-Space Mother River, traveling above the All-Heaven Stars?"

"Not bad, what a delicate toy."

Li Heng nodded.

He reached out his hand toward the Great Dao Ark that was about to collide with him and took it gently, as if picking up a paper boat floating in a basin, lifting it up in an understated manner.

The Great Dao Ark shrank rapidly, floating on Li Heng's palm.

Like a paper boat.

"A pity, it is not the original body."

Li Heng looked at the delicate little toy on his palm, shook his head, and said with some disappointment.

At this moment, both Xingzun and the Venerables watching the battle were stunned. How is this possible!

Although this was not the original body of the Great Dao Ark, but merely a projected manifestation, the power of that collision just now was not necessarily inferior to the original body; it was equivalent to a strike from the original body, infinitely close to a Great Venerable.

According to the original estimate, Li Daoren would be dead if not crippled.

But now, this Li Daoren not only understatedly neutralized that collision, but also easily captured the projection of the Great Dao Ark, and furthermore, as he said, turned it into a toy?

The Venerables immediately realized something was wrong; they had kicked an iron plate.

The true core of the Multiverse Alliance, the source of the Great Dao Ark.

Here, the Void was dim and mysterious, with three powerful, ancient figures floating around the source of the Ark, sitting in meditation, seemingly contemplating or refining something.

But suddenly, the source experienced an anomaly, rippling with waves.

"Eh? An anomaly in the source; what happened outside?"

"I will go and investigate."

"Be careful, do not cause trouble before the Alliance Leader returns..."

At this moment, Xingzun's body trembled slightly, his lips parted, but he could not speak. He did not know what he should say now, or what he could say; everything seemed beyond redemption?

Thinking of this, the despair and sorrow derived from realizing the truth of the matter instantly dissipated. His heart calmed down, becoming extremely peaceful, without any regret.

Xingzun asked himself.

Even if Li Daoren was powerful and he could not afford to offend him, so what? This was his choice, so he naturally had to bear it; he should have the resolve to carry everything, otherwise, how else could he be worthy of being a Venerable who attained the Dao?

"You can easily capture the projection of the Great Dao Ark; your cultivation must have already left the category of Venerable and is infinitely close to a Great Venerable. I admit I am not your match, but that does not mean I will grovel before you."

Xingzun spoke calmly.

"Fellow Daoist, why say such things? You gifted me this rather delicate little toy; I should actually thank you, Fellow Daoist?"

Li Heng said with a smile, very sincerely.

He was also speaking the truth.

Although this was only a projection of the true Great Dao Ark, by observing it closely, one could know the whole from a part, and also gain insight into a portion of the Great Dao and power that the Great Dao Ark truly involved. The Great Dao power within it was quite novel even for him, a Great Venerable, and worth his borrowing and learning from.

This also confirmed the three words: the Dao is boundless.

Even for a Great Venerable, one can only cover one's own realm and things below it. For unexplored fields at the same level and the Unknown above one's realm, one needs to continue to comprehend.

And the projection of the Great Dao Ark gave him much insight. If he were to witness the true Great Dao Ark with his own eyes, walk upon it, or even take it for his own use, the insights should be even greater.

"Li Daoren, you do not need to mock me."

Xingzun said calmly.

Whether for his own face or for the Multiverse Alliance, he was very clear that he could not retreat and could only bite the bullet. The next moment, he struck instantly, using his own source to evolve great power, disregarding the cost, intending to perish together with Li Heng.

Even though he knew he did not have the qualifications to perish together.

"What should we do? Should we help Xingzun?"

Such a voice emerged among the Venerables watching the battle.

"If you want to die, then go help. This Li Daoren's strength is extraordinary; I fear he is already infinitely close to a Great Venerable. How can we deal with him? Unless the Alliance Elders or the Alliance Leader take action."

Huo Zunzhe said, appearing somewhat speechless.

At this time, even a fire-stoker like him dared not stir up trouble. Because he knew that once such a fire started, it would definitely burn him, burning everything to ashes.

At this moment, even the Venerables from the same faction as Xingzun were silent. There was no way; this matter was too troublesome, unless the Elders in the Alliance came forward personally. But those Elders were all in seclusion preparing for the plan; how could they be so easily moved?

Before they could think carefully, they no longer needed to think.

Because the outcome was decided.

The Venerables saw that even though Xingzun exhausted his source to evolve the Starry Sky, it was still swallowed in an instant by the Starry Sky controlled by Li Heng, and he himself was suppressed within one of the All-Heaven Stars.

As long as Li Heng gave the order with a single thought, this Dao Body of Xingzun would be refined alive; if he were even more ruthless, he could even act along the Causal Line to reach Xingzun's true self, causing him to perish completely!

There were too many methods of this realm to target clones and alt accounts. Thinking one could be fine just by changing accounts? That was truly thinking too much.

Xingzun's power erupted, struggling with difficulty, but the All-Heaven Star suppressing him remained unmoved, as if it had merged with the surrounding vast Starry Sky. He was silent; although he had expected it, could this gap really be so great that he could not even resist?

Could it be that he was truly going to lose his life here today?

Suddenly, the surrounding Void vibrated again, and a supreme will descended upon this place. The watching Venerables and Xingzun were instantly shocked, and the next moment they saw a vast form manifest in the Void, manifesting a giant god that filled the Void.

"Third Elder!"

"What is going on? For the sake of Xingzun, the Elder has come out of seclusion?"

"No, no, no, this cannot be for Xingzun; it might be for this Li Daoren. Don't forget that just now, Li Daoren captured the projection of the Great Dao Ark with ease!"

The Venerables whispered to each other, their hearts incomparably shocked.

After a brief shock, Xingzun was overjoyed.

The Third Elder was the most protective of his own; once he knew someone dared to defy the Multiverse Alliance and violate the dignity of the Multiverse Alliance, regardless of whether they were right or wrong, he would definitely kill them.

The Great Void does not cut off all paths of survival; he can live!

"What on earth happened here? Xingzun, you fought a great battle against an outsider, even mobilizing the power of the Multiverse Alliance and the Great Dao Ark, and yet you still lost, ending up in such a wretched state?"

The giant god frowned, and the Third Elder spoke with dissatisfaction.

"I beg the Third Elder to forgive my sins, but this Li Daoren is arrogant and domineering, holding no regard for our Multiverse Alliance, and his strength is even more formidable; his origins are mysterious, and I was captured before I could even react! I implore the Third Elder to take action to save me, deliver me from this sea of suffering, and suppress this villain!"

Xingzun spoke loudly, his speed of speech rapid, fearing that Li Heng would not give him a chance and would simply refine him to death.

"Oh? Li Daoren? Let me see."

The giant god turned his head, looked at Li Heng, and met his gaze.

In an instant, everything fell into stillness and silence.

During this time, the giant god blinked repeatedly, even wiping his eyes with his palms from time to time, as if he could not believe that everything he saw before him was real.

But finally, in the unspeakable silence, the giant god began to shrink rapidly, turning into an old Daoist holding a horsetail whisk with a kind face, who quickly flew before Li Heng and bowed deeply.

"Third Elder of the Multiverse Alliance, pays respects to the Great Venerable."
