Above the Great Dao

Chapter 1687 - 772: Wo Long, Phoenix Chick (Part 2)

He leaped up without hesitation, rushing towards the crack in the world.

"Mr. Chen is absorbing the Dao Image of the Well Demon Realm to use the Primordial Talisman contained within for healing his injuries, replacing those damaged Great Dao Talismans! This act lets him quickly recover, but it would destroy the Well Demon Realm’s Dao Realm! His strength is greatly reduced; now is the best time to capture him!"

Before he could fly out of the Well Demon Realm, Chen Shi under the tree suddenly looked up, his gaze sweeping toward him, as if he had made a firm decision, raising his hand to make a heavy grasp.

"Boom!"

The world shook, the earth collapsed, and even the sky seemed unable to withstand the infinite pressure, becoming broken and fragmented!

The Subtle Taoist Monarch looked around to see giant fingerprints appearing in the shattered sky, as if someone had fiercely gripped it, leaving the world full of cracks!

From the depths of the collapsing earth came thunderous roars like thousands of oxen, with massive fingers shooting up to the sky, resembling magma-formed giant pillars holding up the heavens and earth, encompassing him within!

"Mr. Chen is truly ruthless, actually destroying the Well Demon Realm!"

Seeing himself unable to escape, the Subtle Taoist Monarch decisively summoned a Magical Treasure, an Eight Trigrams Refining Furnace, a treasure used for alchemy by Daoist Taiqing.

This treasure possessed infinite power, containing the Luotian World. Once summoned, it suspended upside-down as its lid opened, releasing the Luotian World refined by Daoist Taiqing inside, instantly filling the Well Demon Realm, overlapping its space.

This demonic realm suddenly exhibited the Dao Power of Qian, Kan, Gen, Zhen, Xun, Li, Kun, Dui, immense and even surpassing the peak Dao Power of the Well Demon Realm in its heyday!

Previously collapsing heavens and earth suddenly halted; the massive manifest hands and fingers could no longer hold on!

"Receive!"

With a light command from the Subtle Taoist Monarch, the Great Luotian and the Well Demon Realm were together collected into the Eight Trigrams Refining Furnace, with the Well Demon Realm being refined into more than ten Immortal Pills.

The Subtle Taoist Monarch sneered, holding the Eight Trigrams Refining Furnace with one hand, stepping into the space where Chen Shi was, reaching the boundary between the Dark Sea and the Xuanhuang Sea.

On the other side, Emperor Wan Shou followed the dust silk to the Yuan Kong Realm, looking around at the fractured mountains and rivers, a scene of devastation, seeing that many of Anze Master’s Dao Images were shattered, with the rest disintegrating into Spiritual Power and Energy, nourishing the land.

Emperor Wan Shou stood in midair, overlooking the destruction caused by the Demon Blood Treasure Tree, admiringly saying, "This could be a treasure forged by a Taiyi Golden Immortal? Even the Luotian Dao Realm Treasure of a Daluo Golden Immortal may not have such power. Mr. Chen is awe-inspiring. But fortunately, I brought a treasure to counter the Demon Blood Treasure Tree."

He reached out, causing the sky to tremble violently as a horsetail whisk’s handle came from beyond, pressing the Yuan Kong Realm’s sky into constant collapse.

The Daoist grabbed the handle forcefully, tearing the treasure from the Dao Ruins.

"The Demon-sweeping Duster of the Upper Pure Realm!"

There were still many Taiyi Golden Immortals in the Yuan Kong Realm who hadn’t left due to injuries, recognized the treasure, and turned pale with shock.

This treasure was the Demon Refining Treasure of Daoist Spirit Treasure, created during the establishment of the Earth Immortal Realm. Though not the strongest supreme treasure of the Upper Pure Realm, its power was extraordinary due to being steeped in Demon Blood.

The Daoist, able to wield the Demon-sweeping Duster, must be a descendant of the Upper Pure Realm’s Teaching Venerable lineage!

However, the masters chasing Chen Shi this time were mostly infamous from the Three Pure Ones Realm and Western Heaven, having no knowledge of this Emperor Wan Shou.

The Daoist put away the Demon-sweeping Duster, chanting, "A young emperor continues the Great Ming, mastering power and strategy in alchemy. At midnight, the palace maid betrays, a single red rope ruins half a life! Fellow Daoists, greetings from Emperor Wan Shou, Zhu Houcong!"

The injured Taiyi Golden Immortals returned the courtesy in unison.

Emperor Wan Shou rose and left for beyond the sky, murmuring, "Using the Duster to counter the Demon Blood Treasure Tree, the Green Stele to suppress the Dao Ruins, Mr. Chen’s cultivation and strength will be greatly reduced. Even though he is the Primordial Talisman Dao Ancestor, handling him won’t be difficult."

"But with three Dao Realms, it must wait until he enters the Dark Sea, then severing these three Dao Realms, leaving him without any Heaven and Earth Dao Power to draw upon."

Just as he flew out of the Yuan Kong Realm, with a gentle wave of the Duster, Anze Master’s Dao Images in the Yuan Kong Realm immediately dissolved, the seal of the Yuan Kong Realm also dismantled by the Duster, and this world sealed and hidden for over 200,000 years finally reemerged.

The inhabitants of Yuan Kong Realm, who could previously see only the Sun and Moon stars, suddenly discovered countless more stars dazzling like the Milky Way, leaving them bewildered as they gazed up at the sky.

After Yuan Kong Realm was refined and sealed by Anze Master, those living here never saw other stars, only knowing to worship Anze Master, the sole True Buddha to them, for protection.

Now faced with the real world, they found themselves unsure of what to do.

"They are pathetic people, too."

Emperor Wan Shou, with the Duster on his elbow, pursued the direction Chen Shi left, sighing, "In prosperity, the people suffer; in collapse, the people suffer. These Jianghu Sorcerers, even after becoming Immortal, cannot escape the petty mindset of sorcerers... My money!"

He thought of these Jianghu Sorcerers and couldn’t help but recall the history of the Great Ming, his hand trembling.

He saw Chen Shi’s Demon Blood Treasure Tree from afar, enormous yet seeming like a flying ant compared to the boundless Dark Sea, rushing toward it.

Emperor Wan Shou steadied himself and thought, "Mr. Chen has barely any strength left after fighting dozens of Taiyi Golden Immortals, his Dao Flower has withered, this is the perfect time to capture him, I mustn’t miss this opportunity!"

He chased with intensity, drawing ever closer to the Demon Blood Treasure Tree when suddenly, the world shook dramatically. Another powerful figure burst from a broken spacetime nearly colliding with him!

Emperor Wan Shou quickly summoned the Demon-sweeping Duster for protection, while the other was the Subtle Taoist Monarch who, upon noticing an expert nearby, instinctively summoned the Eight Trigrams Refining Furnace.

These two treasures, one a Demon-sweeping artifact of Daoist Spirit Treasure, the other an alchemical treasure of Daoist Taiqing, although not the most powerful of Upper and Upper Pure Realm, were refined by saints.

The collision of the two treasures caused the edge of the Dark Sea to seem as if countless suns exploded simultaneously, intensely bright, with terrifying might spilling everywhere, blowing Emperor Wan Shou and the Subtle Taoist Monarch away!

The two were in midair, coughing blood, astonished and fearful: "Who is the opponent?"

They never expected to encounter such a formidable foe upon appearance, nor that the other would have brought such mighty saintly treasures, resulting in mutual severe injuries at first contact!

In the distance, Chen Shi also sensed the unimaginably terrifying clash of treasures; he turned to look, nearly blinded by the impressive light, hurriedly closing his eyes, uncertain: "What divine being is assisting me by blocking opponents, amazing. Must be a rescuer sent by godmother!"

He had absorbed the Well Demon Realm’s Dao Image, recovering almost completely.

The battle in the Yuan Kong Realm had left him grievously injured, with the Dao Flower he painstakingly refined nearly destroyed, losing most of its petals, leaving only five.

Yet, as his injuries diminished, the Dao Flower gradually recovered.

"The Well Demon Realm is destroyed, there’s no need for the Dao Ruins’ existence anymore."

Chen Shi sat underneath the tree, the Demon Blood Treasure Tree swaying branches and roots amidst the shockwaves, flying toward the Dark Sea.

Sensing the Dao Ruins Dao Realm, Chen Shi murmured, "Entering the Dark Sea would sever the connection, might as well collect the Great Dao Phenomenon from the Dao Ruins, Harmonization through self!"

Before entering the Dark Sea, he immediately mobilized the Great Dao Phenomenon within the Dao Ruins.

Simultaneously, in the Dao Ruins, two Daoist boys noticed the suddenly lively Heaven and Earth Great Dao, eyes lighting up, exclaiming in unison: "The master is acting!"

A crack suddenly appeared in the world, and each Great Dao Phenomenon swayed and flew up.

The two Daoist boys yelled and launched a Golden Talisman, transforming into a stream of light and flying toward the Green Stele in the center of Fuluo Village!

In Fuluo Village, a village woman sensed something, raised her hand, summoning the Golden Talisman, holding it between her fingers in surprise, quickly exclaiming: "Master Shangdu, come quickly! Look! The power in this Golden Talisman resembles the Green Stele!"

The two Daoist boys were shocked and angry, charging towards Fuluo Village, shouting: "Return the Golden Talisman, village woman!"

In the village, a duck flapped its wings fiercely heading toward them.

The two Daoist boys were taken aback, seeing three Dao Flowers blooming atop the duck’s head, one fully open.

"This duck is also a Taiyi Golden Immortal!"
