Chapter 621: Manifestation of the Great Dao

The scope of this place, covered by the shadow of the Heaven and Earth Dharma Form and mapped out, is not large; it is merely the size of one of the Heavens and Myriad Worlds. For someone of Hun Xuan's level, it can indeed only be considered a small world.

It is just that...

"Fellow Daoist Hun Xuan, this is not some evolution."

Li Heng sighed with emotion. Facing Hun Xuan, who was attacking him with aggressive momentum, his Heaven and Earth Dharma Form quietly unfolded. Just now, Hun Xuan thought this place was specifically evolved by him, but in reality, this was merely the external manifestation of the existence of the Heaven and Earth Dharma Form; it was nothing more than a superficial appearance.

It is just like how the Great Sun can distort space-time simply by standing there quietly.

As of now.

The unfolding of the Heaven and Earth Dharma Form is the true, deliberate evolution!

In an instant, the Heaven and Earth Dharma Form swept over everything, covering all surroundings and defining them as part of the Heaven and Earth Dharma Form, much like incorporating certain phenomena into the explanatory scope of a theory.

At this moment, nothing had changed, yet everything had changed.

Hun Xuan, who was originally aggressive and erupting with Terror-inducing power, with a misty and chaotic Chaos Sea surging behind him and evolving into all sorts of profound mysteries, instantly felt disconnected from the outside world for a moment. The next moment, when he regained his senses, the surroundings had already become incomparably strange.

One plus one no longer equals two, the Five Elements no longer cycle, chaos is no longer the origin of events, space-time has undergone changes, Fate has transformed its form, and the essence of everything is vastly different from what he knows.

Even Li Heng, who was in front of him, had disappeared without a trace at this moment.

He furrowed his brows, feeling puzzled in his heart: what kind of method is this?

An Array? But what kind of Array could achieve this? It could actually make him completely disconnected from the surroundings, becoming incomparably strange. An independent small world, a worldview? Such a possibility does indeed exist, but since he holds that item, he should not be disconnected from the outside world.

What is even more terrifying is that he cannot sense the Great Void outside.

"Fellow Daoist Hun Xuan, has this method of mine entered your Dharma Eye?"

Li Heng's laughter rang out, echoing in this vast space. It seemed to be coming from somewhere, yet it also seemed to be everywhere, existing in every corner of this place.

"Fellow Daoist Li, as a Great Venerable, are you just going to hide your head and show your tail like this?"

Hun Xuan furrowed his brows and responded.

"Hide my head and show my tail? Interesting. If you still cannot realize the essence of this place and cannot step out of the scope of my Great Dao, then Fellow Daoist Hun Xuan, you are indeed not qualified to face me."

Li Heng's laughter echoed.

Hun Xuan frowned slightly. So that is how it is?

This place, which is independent of everything and isolates his perception of the outside Great Void, cannot even be called a world, but is a phenomenon produced by the manifestation of this person's Great Dao and the coverage of his own Law and Reason?

"That fellow daoist's method is indeed profound, but do you know that when a python swallows an Elephant, it is also seeking its own death?"

Hun Xuan responded calmly.

He likewise unleashed his own Law, Reason, and Great Dao. The surging Chaos Sea behind him grew rapidly, expanding at a speed that surpassed the Infinite, intending to completely occupy and contain this place.

You, Li Daoren, do you not want to cover, swallow, and contain me by relying on your own Great Dao? Then let us see if you have the ability to do so, and see whether you can successfully contain me, or if I will burst your Great Dao, successfully escape, and even seize your Dao Fruit.

Hun Xuan remained calm in his heart, sitting securely on the fishing platform. Because of his past experiences, his Law and Reason contained things that did not belong to the Great Void, and when unleashed, they were extremely vast. He felt this was an opportunity to use this to comprehend the Great Dao of a Great Venerable and begin to analyze this strange place.

As time passed slowly, along with the results of his analysis, he suddenly realized that something was wrong, and a sense of foreboding rose in his heart.

So much time had passed, yet this place still showed no abnormalities and had not been burst by the Chaos Sea that symbolized his Great Dao.

Furthermore, the results he analyzed were diverse and varied, seemingly involving all Great Daos, all laws, space-time, Causality, Fate, Yin and Yang, and the Five Elements; everything was present, seemingly all-encompassing.

He was shocked in his heart: how could this be possible?

How could one person comprehend all Great Daos and elevate them all to the level of a Great Venerable? Is this not a bit too contrary to Reason?

The Great Venerables he had encountered, although their realms were profound and their Great Daos were deep, all went from one to ten thousand, generalizing the whole from the one, using their own unique Fundamental Great Dao to explain all things.

For example, his own Fundamental Great Dao is chaos.

The innate, unique chaos derives everything, without exception.

Chaos is superior, and everything outside of chaos is inferior. Chaos is Taiyi, and everything else is the overflow of Taiyi. It is just as they say: descending from the root to the branches to give birth to all things; that is how it is.

Yet now, he can see countless types of Fundamental Great Daos, and he can even see his own chaos Great Dao, as if countless Great Venerables were standing right in front of him.

But this is impossible.

If this Li Daoren had the strength of countless Great Venerables, he would already be dead and would not be able to live until now.

Then there is only one possibility: Li Daoren still has one Fundamental Great Dao, with a high and distant conception, capable of containing everything just like his chaos. But what is more terrifying than him is that Li Daoren has also elevated the other Great Daos derived from the Fundamental Great Dao to the level of the Fundamental Great Dao, standing shoulder to shoulder with it.

Others go from one to ten thousand.

And this Li Daoren is directly the ten thousand! It is unreasonable.

Hun Xuan furrowed his brows. He understood even less why Li Heng could be so unreasonable, could do things that others could not, breaking the conventions and becoming an exception among exceptions.

This is a bit troublesome, he sighed.

Forget it. He had originally intended to save that item for later use. If he does not use it now, he fears he will not be able to get out even if he uses his trump card. He shook his head, and that Light of Dao Integration on his body emerged, illuminating all directions.

He stared at this Light of Dao Integration for a moment, shook his head, and then swallowed the Light of Dao Integration into his body, merging with it. Subsequently, his body bloomed with light, shining in all ten directions, infecting this space and fusing with this strange place manifested by Li Heng's Heaven and Earth Dharma Form.

Hun Xuan is integrating with the Dao.

Integrating with the Dao of this place to seize Li Heng's Dao Fruit.

Outside the Heaven and Earth Dharma Form, Li Heng stood calmly. The method derived from this light is indeed interesting; he could sense the Heaven and Earth Dharma Form slipping out of his control bit by bit.

Once he succeeds, this Dao Fruit of the Heaven and Earth Dharma Form will be seized by Hun Xuan and will no longer belong to him.

However, since it is an integration with the Dao, Hun Xuan will inevitably pay a price. If his strength is insufficient, he will inevitably be infected by Li Heng's Heaven and Earth Dharma Form Dao, and in turn, be integrated by the Heaven and Earth Dharma Form Dao, becoming a Dao Slave Puppet, never to escape again.

This has pushed both sides onto the gambling table.

"Fellow daoist's method is indeed unique, but are you not afraid of losing everything? If I am not mistaken, you should still have other trump cards, other room for maneuver, right?"

Li Heng spoke calmly.

Hun Xuan smiled slightly.

"Then fellow daoist can also take a guess at what I originally intended to use the Light of Dao Integration for. I do not like to gamble, but I still gambled. Why do you think that is?"

The implication was that he was still sitting securely on the fishing platform and had a trump card. And now that the Light of Dao Integration had been unfolded, Li Heng had no choice but to cross it, and he was still in the superior position.

"Fellow daoist makes sense. Then I will not gamble. If I do not gamble, I will not lose. Would it not be better to just flip the table?"

Li Heng smiled and nodded in deep agreement.
