Above the Great Dao

Chapter 1181 546: Dao Realm 8-2

He leapt out of the way, staggering a bit as his legs, burned, grew soft.

The Flask of Yin and Yang Essence, worthy of a Taiyi Golden Immortal's Magical Treasure, was unstoppable even by the Great Wilderness Ming Dao Collection!

"And there's still the Qiankun Rebuilding Furnace!"

As the rosy clouds from the Flask of Yin and Yang Essence surrounded him, he noticed Little Dun Fairy trying to stuff the Qiankun Rebuilding Furnace into a small shrine, but it wouldn't fit.

Next to her were seven Heavenly Dao Immortals, trying to suppress the Qiankun Rebuilding Furnace to make it smaller, their eyes wide with shock.

So quick was it all, from when he exposed Little Dun Fairy to Wu Qi's attack with the Flask of Yin and Yang Essence, then his escape from its suppression—all within the space of two or three breaths.

The Heavenly Dao Immortals were still bewildered why Heavenly Venerate said Gong Wanqing was a demon, and shocked by Wu Qi's assault, unable to stop Little Dun Fairy in time.

"These bastards!"

Heavenly Venerate dodged the rosy clouds of the Flask of Yin and Yang Essence again, widening the distance, unable to seize the Qiankun Rebuilding Furnace. He smirked coldly, "Wu Qi, you've been lurking in Despair Slope for days, waiting for the moment the True God was corrupted, right? Wu Qi, you've disappointed me. The Outer Heaven True God breathed life into the world, nurtured living beings, and even ruled as the king of Great Shang. To deal with me, you dared to corrupt him. It seems you've truly turned evil!"

Wu Qi stopped his pursuit, sent the Jade Bottle flying into the air, its mouth facing down, and said calmly, "As long as I can get rid of you, I'm willing to try anything."

His breath surged, and behind him a Dao Realm slowly manifested.

It was an Immortal Dao Miao Realm, centering on the Yueheng Gate, known as the Blessed Realm.

This was the Dao Realm of Void Overbalance Heaven, an accomplishment of a Golden Immortal.

Having become a Golden Immortal, his Dao Realm reached the Seventh Layer Heaven of the Thirty-Three Heavens, Void Overbalance Heaven.

Heavenly Venerate's expression shifted slightly, "For you to infiltrate my Despair Slope unnoticed, there must be someone leading the way. The person must be extremely intelligent to comprehend the mysteries of the Heavenly Dao Divine Eye to deceive it."

He turned, looking at Zhong Wuwang with a teasing smile, "Wuwang, dear Wuwang, what a clever child. I thought you lost your senses!"

In the distance, Chen Shi and Zhong Wuwang raced towards the Qiankun Rebuilding Furnace.

Zhong Wuwang shivered at Heavenly Venerate's voice, his expression fluctuating, suddenly saying, "Chen Shi, I'll rescue the Princess, you observe Heavenly Venerate for weaknesses!"

As Chen Shi was about to turn away, a Divine Embryo emerged from behind Zhong Wuwang and flew towards him.

Zhong Wuwang said, "You might be just a bit smarter than me, and the Innate Dao Embryo might be slightly more effective in your hands. But remember, the Innate Dao Embryo is only borrowed, return it after this battle!"

The Divine Embryo shone brilliantly, resembling a small Outer Heaven True God, filled with immense power, resonating with Chen Shi, making the old wound on the back of his head ache faintly.

This Divine Embryo was the very Innate Dao Embryo!

"The Innate Dao Embryo was mine all along!" Chen Shi fumed.

Though he said this, he still summoned the small shrine at the back of his head, the Innate Dao Embryo flew into the shrine, seating itself on the Divine Shrine.

Zhong Wuwang rushed towards the Qiankun Rebuilding Furnace, his voice trailing behind, "The Innate Dao Embryo was snatched for me by my master in times of crisis. You must be grateful, not horde it!"

He engaged the seven Immortals attacking Little Dun Fairy, blocking one Heavenly Dao Immortal, shouting, "Brothers, listen to me, the Heavenly Venerate is not who he seems, but the chief culprit behind the world's demonic transformation!"

The seven Immortals were shocked and angered, a Fairy scolded angrily, "Wuwang, your mind is clouded by Evil Qi! To say such blasphemous words! Without the guidance of the Heavenly Venerate, who at Despair Slope would have what they have today?"

Another Immortal roared, "Anyone could be an Evil Spirit, but not the Heavenly Venerate! Zhong Wuwang, if you block us again, don't blame us for being ruthless!"

Zhong Wuwang and Little Dun Fairy, working together, fought with all their might, but could only hold back the seven Immortals for a moment before being suppressed.

The two circled the Qiankun Rebuilding Furnace, maneuvering against the seven Immortals, finding it arduous.

Suddenly, Little Dun Fairy threw open the furnace lid, leaping inside.

Zhong Wuwang followed suit.

The seven Immortals plunged into the furnace, fighting through the sea of flames, entering the Furnace World, their battle swiftly crossing thousands of miles in the sky.

"Fifth Uncle!" Little Dun Fairy cried out, struggling.

In the Furnace World, countless Creation Little Five raised their heads.

Outside the furnace, Chen Shi flew up, landing on a mountaintop, scanning the surroundings, seeing his grandfather Chen Yindou on the adjacent mountaintop, ready to watch the battle.

He calmed his Heart Spirit, focusing his gaze on Heavenly Venerate.

"Seven possible weaknesses. If Heavenly Venerate reveals any, there's hope for victory. Wu Qi, don't disappoint me..."

He invoked the Innate Dao Embryo, suddenly feeling as if his mind expanded a thousandfold, thoughts racing!

In his mind, thoughts surged, a thousand trails, memories long forgotten from childhood, problems faced when first learning Immortal Law, fleeting insights during Enlightenment, various Divine Skills, and other fragments.

But the next moment, forgotten memories resurfaced, problems were solved instantly, hidden insights recalled, Divine Skills perfected!

Once his thoughts settled, Chen Shi found his mind clear as a jade universe!

"The Innate Dao Embryo is truly formidable!" he thought, his confidence soaring.

Meanwhile, Yang Bi and Li Tianqing arrived at the Jade Pearl Pavilion of the Heavenly Dao Academy, seated on the rooftop, watching Heavenly Venerate and Wu Qi.

Their Heart Spirits were stirred, but gradually calmed.

This battle was crucial; finding Heavenly Venerate's weakness was pivotal!

"Wu Qi's cultivation is not as strong as Heavenly Venerate's, but with the Flask of Yin and Yang Essence seizing the initiative, causing Heavenly Venerate injury, he might force a weakness in this battle!"

Wu Qi pushed the Undying Immortal Method to its limit, Witch Sacrificial Dao Patterns flowed over his body, rising and forming various dazzling patterns in the air.

Above him, rosy clouds breathed from the bottle.

Behind Heavenly Venerate, suddenly, a burst of Great Dao rosy clouds flew out, mist swirling, yet the divine radiance shone through. From the mist emerged vermilion portals, thirty-two Immortal Children in green robes, wearing brocade, holding a Golden Banner in one hand, and a Daoist Book in the other, stood atop the clouds.

The clouds spun, covering tens of thousands of miles, forming a Tai Chi Pattern.

The eighth realm of the Thirty-Three Heavens Dao Realm, Taiji Obscured Heaven.

Though he and Wu Qi were in the same realm, he was an entire Dao Realm above Wu Qi.

The difference of one Dao Realm was like heaven and earth.

This was the main reason he could easily defeat Wu Qi.

Wu Qi was not afraid, suddenly shrinking to human size, charging fiercely at Heavenly Venerate.

He used an Innate Divine Ability from the Great Shang era, his Divine Skills shifted with the Witch Sacrificial Dao Patterns on his skin. As his skin's Dao Patterns changed form, the Power of the Great Dao became Sun, Moon, Stars, Mountains, Rivers, Water and Fire, Wind and Thunder, Divine Beasts, Magical Treasures, and other forms, crashing towards Heavenly Venerate.

He was the Great Shang Court's foremost Great Witch, mastering all Witch Sacrificial Dao Pattern legacies, familiar with all techniques of Great Shang's races!

As he executed his techniques, the Flask of Yin and Yang Essence atop his head followed, its mouth always facing Heavenly Venerate, spilling rosy clouds.

Heavenly Venerate saw this, not daring to be reckless, instantly resuming normal form, knowing that if the clouds touched him in his large form, he'd suffer again!

Injured as he was, faced with Wu Qi's reckless assaults, he felt the strain.

From afar, Chen Shi, Yang Bi, and others were invigorated, "The first possible weakness, here it comes!"

The Flask of Yin and Yang Essence's rosy clouds suddenly turned, sweeping through Heavenly Venerate's Dao Realm, into the Taiji Obscured Heaven!

This strike aimed at the Dao Light within Taiji Obscured Heaven.

If Heavenly Venerate lacked comprehension, the Dao Light's mystery would be lost.

As the strike fell, the Dao Light within Taiji Obscured Heaven was destroyed, at the same time, Wu Qi sensed Heavenly Venerate's Qi-Blood faltering, reached him, and turned his fingers into a sword, piercing Heavenly Venerate's chest.

Heavenly Venerate's heart beat fiercely, like a thousand thunders trapped within, repelling the strike. At the same time, the Dao Light in his realm restored fully.

Chen Shi frowned slightly, shaking his head.

This weakness was no weakness.

"There are six more." he murmured.
