Chapter 503: Supreme Dao Fruit!

Da Yu Lao's "execute" was like a heavenly decree; once spoken, the law obeyed.

The moment his words fell, he gave Lei Taiji no chance to react or argue, and struck outright!

There was no earth‑shattering buildup, no elaborate mystic opening move.

At his level, a simple action embodies the Tiandao's utmost simplicity.

Da Yu Lao lifted his right hand, wrapped in the sleeve of his fiery red robe, fingers slightly spread, and gave a light press toward Lei Taiji, whose face was wildly contorted and aura already driven to the extreme.

Boom—!!!

An indescribable terrifying heat spread wildly from him in an instant, sweeping everything!

It was not ordinary flame heat, but fire that touched the Path Origin of fire, capable of incinerating all things and purifying all evils—the primordial Dao fire!

The surrounding Void's temperature, within a one‑in‑ten‑million‑million instant, surged to an inconceivable level, likely enough to vaporize stars and evaporate the Star River in an instant!

The entire ancient Star Domain, previously shattered and dead‑silent from battle, was instantly dyed with an eternally burning, searing crimson hue!

Distant remnants of star fragments, regardless of size, didn't even have time to wail before, under this all‑penetrating terrifying heat, they silently turned into the finest energy dust, fluttering down like a dazzling, lethal fire rain.

The Primordial Force surging around Da Yu Lao was not a common hue; it shone a magnificent, domineering scarlet!

As this scarlet Primordial Force flowed, it crackled like billions of Lei Dian striking simultaneously, actually the Dao sound generated by extreme heat scorching Space and the laws.

Each strand of Primordial Force seemed a cluster of eternally burning primordial divine flames, containing Great Power that could scorch heaven, boil seas, and annihilate all laws, causing the Void to wail, warp, and even show signs of melting!

Confronted with this world‑shaking, star‑domain‑devouring supreme might, Lei Taiji's pupils shrank to needle points, his heart nearly stopped beating!

Yet the chaotic, mad light in his eyes grew ever hotter; instead of despairing or retreating, a paranoid fury surged within him!

"Da Yu Lao, so what? You want to kill me? It's not that easy!"

Lei Taiji's voice rasped in a wild roar, bearing a beast‑like madness and paranoia born of desperation.

That Ominous Power seemed not only to boost his strength but also to corrupt his mind, magnifying his inner darkness and arrogance.

"Ominous Heavenly Thunder! Ten thousand anomalies descend upon the world!"

Lei Taiji howled skyward, looking like a mad demon!

He held nothing back, driving the pure yet evil Ominous Power within his body to an unprecedented extreme!

A viscous, constantly writhing gray‑black eerie aura erupted like a volcano, soaring upward, forcibly intertwining with the Lei Dian Tiandao Path Origin he had cultivated for countless years!

Sizzle! Boom!

An ancient, eerie thunder, full of discord and decay, was born!

It was no longer pure violet‑black or silver‑white, but a squalid blend of gray‑black and grim green; within the thunder seemed countless twisted faces wailing, a decaying realm sinking, exuding a terrifying aura that erodes laws and pollutes the Heavenly Dao!

This is the mutation born of Ominous Power merging with the Lei Dian Tiandao—Ominous Heavenly Thunder!

Simultaneously, behind Lei Taiji, the Void thundered open, and a boundless, vast sea of rebellious thunder, wholly composed of this gray‑green Ominous Heavenly Thunder, erupted across the sky!

The thunder sea roiled, within it floated bizarre thunder beasts, decayed thunder palaces, and painful thunder souls formed from Ominous Power; this is the strongest combat state Lei Taiji can display by burning his Primordial Origin and harnessing Ominous Power!

Its might already equated to a true Quasi‑Supreme realm, even bearing the Ominous Power's unique corrosive and chaotic traits, bizarrely hard to defend against!

Yet, faced with Lei Taiji's all‑out, world‑shocking dying counterattack, Da Yu Lao's face, as deep as an ancient well, showed not even a ripple.

His sun‑like eyes calmly gazed at the filthy thunder sea behind his opponent, as if appraising a trivial mud puddle.

"The light of ants dares to vie with the bright moon?"

His indifferent words fell, and behind Da Yu Lao's towering, majestic figure, a strange phenomenon suddenly erupted!

An immense, boundless, radiant sphere—beyond description in size—illuminating the Zhutian Huanyu, seeming capable of dispelling all darkness and chill, silently materialized, hovering quietly in the void behind his head.

What kind of ordinary light sphere is this?!

Upon close inspection, the core of the sphere was a densely solid, fire‑red Dao Fruit, its surface flowing with scarlet‑gold Dao patterns, like an eternal divine sun!

The Dao Fruit rotated slowly; each turn seemed to stir the resonance and tremors of countless Tiandaos around it.

Within, an infinite fire civilization seemed to be birthing and proliferating, boundless destructive Great Power was being nurtured and refined, and a transcendent Dao Rhythm, supreme over all laws, suffused the space!

Supreme Dao Fruit!

Only by truly entering the Supreme Realm, refining one's own Tiandao to the utmost and achieving deep harmony with the primordial origins of heaven and earth, can one condense this ultimate Dao Fruit within the dim Dao Realm!

It is the concrete embodiment of a Supreme's cultivation, will, and law comprehension—a sign of transcending the mundane and advancing toward immortal detachment!

Containing inconceivable Great Power, it is the ultimate realm symbol that beings beneath the Supreme cannot imagine, cannot fathom, yet endlessly yearn for!

Even though Da Yu Lao did not deliberately activate the Dao Fruit's might, merely manifesting it to the world, the naturally emanating timeless, supreme, all‑overwhelming aura already silenced the myriad heavens of this starry sky, causing all evils to retreat!

"This… is this… Supreme Dao Fruit?! You… you actually… attained the Supreme Realm?! This… how could this be possible?"

The madness and paranoia on Lei Taiji's face froze instantly, replaced by unparalleled shock and terror!

His voice trembled, full of disbelief.

He had thought Da Yu Lao at most was at the pinnacle of the Quasi‑Supreme peak, perhaps able to maneuver with Ominous Power, even create a chance to flee.

But the true Supreme… is an existence of an entirely different dimension!

The gap between them is the Heavenly Moat, a chasm!

On the other side, Qi Yu Lao felt the pure, vast Supreme Dao Rhythm, and his pallid face showed genuine delight and deep admiration.

He murmured:

"Indeed… indeed so!"

"Back then he already stood at the edge of the Quasi‑Supreme, looking down on his peers, his talent astonishing the world."

"After long years, with his talent and accumulation, advancing further to step into this ultimate Supreme Realm was simply inevitable."

"No wonder… he was the monstrous talent that even the ruler praised endlessly back then!"

His eyes revealed unabashed yearning and respect.

Ye Wuque and Feng Caichen were also profoundly shaken, staring unblinkingly at the floating scarlet‑gold Dao Fruit.

They were not without having seen powerful Dao Fruits; the former Thunder Clan Great Ancestor had once manifested a Quasi‑Supreme Dao Fruit, equally dazzling and imposing over the starry sky.

But compared with Da Yu Lao's genuine Supreme Dao Fruit, the former was like fireflies to a bright moon, a stream to an ocean; in terms of solidity, Dao Rhythm level, or that naturally transcendent aura that surpasses all paths, they are incomparable!

This is a qualitative leap, a fundamental difference between the level of life and the Great Dao Realm!

"The true Supreme…"

Ye Wuque felt waves of turmoil within, his yearning for a higher realm growing ever more intense.

Thunder Tai Ji now fully understood that at the moment Da Yu Lao manifested the Supreme Dao Fruit, any thought of resistance or escape became a joke.

Yet the ferocity in his bones and the madness eroded by Ominous Power made him unwilling to simply bow his neck and be slain.

"Roar—!!! I have endured millennia of arduous cultivation, encountered the True Ancestor, been granted Great Power, my future boundless! How could I fall here?! Give me an explosion!!!"

He let out a desperate, unwilling howl, no longer defending, but instead letting all the remaining Primordial Lei Dian Power within his body and that pure Ominous Power burn and explode together in a frenzy!

He attempted a self‑destructive burst to create chaos, to snatch that one‑in‑hundreds‑of‑millions sliver of hope, or at least… splash the opponent with blood!

The gray‑green Ominous Celestial Thunder and the raging Primordial Lei Dian merged, forming a twisted, chaotic energy torrent brimming with destruction, surging toward Da Yu Lao!

This is Thunder Tai Ji's final blossoming of life; its power is likely enough to heavily wound an ordinary Quasi‑Supreme!

Yet, faced with this dying strike, Da Yu Lao didn't even lift an eyelid.

He only barely shifted his thoughts.

The crimson‑gold Supreme Dao Fruit behind his head quivered lightly.

Buzz—!

A fire‑red torrent, purely derived from the Primordial Power of the Supreme Dao Fruit, surged forth silently, like a cascade from the Nine Heavens Galaxy, yet also like the first purification divine fire at the dawn of Open Heaven and Split Earth!

The torrent appeared tranquil, yet it contained the supreme Great Power that could incinerate myriad paths, purify all evils, and reshape heaven and earth!

Where it passed, the raging gray‑green Lei Dian torrent, like boiling water dousing snow, could not muster any resistance; the moment it met the fire‑red torrent, it completely melted, vaporized, and returned to void!

Even the most intractable Ominous Corrosion Power was burned to ash by the Supreme Dao Fire, which embodied utmost yang, utmost firmness, and the supreme purification Dao Rhythm!

The fire‑red torrent, unabated, instantly engulfed Thunder Tai Ji, who had attempted to explode himself… completely drowning him!

"No—!! I am unwilling! I have not yet reached the pinnacle! I have not yet witnessed eternity alongside the True Ancestor! How can I die like this! Ahhh—!!!"

Thunder Tai Ji's bleak, desperate howl lasted only an instant within the fire‑red torrent before abruptly ending.
