Chapter 829 - 823: The Only Great Dao, Bizarre Path Convergence
"Suppressing Mystery Law!"
Jia Ren did not hesitate, letting two forces of the Suppressing Mystery Law return to the world.
The two forces of law, polluted by the world, coalesced together.
Uncertain if the two forces of the Suppressing Mystery Law could fulfill the ascension conditions, the power of law within the Profound Heaven Suppressing Immortal Demon Pagoda couldn’t be used, to avoid shaking the foundation, he was about to convert a new force of the Suppressing Mystery Law and send it back to the world.
At that moment, a peculiar aura arose between heaven and earth, as if there was an inexplicable power.
This aura condensed for a moment, then slowly dissipated.
"Failed?"
A Bizarre Demon, with strength surpassing the Venerable Level, was being born, obviously exceeding the Venerable Level, but not reaching the Half-Step Dao Level.
The transformed Suppressing Mystery Law exhibited unusual changes, now showing a tendency to merge, a change not seen before.
However, for some reason, it did not ascend to a Half-Step Dao Bizarre.
Not enough Supreme Level laws?
The new Suppressing Mystery Law, converted by the Gray Pearl, flew into the sky, merging with the world.
The newly born strange demon decisively devoured the offered law, incorporating it into itself.
The aura it emitted grew stronger, the previous power of the law had already become part of its Bizarre Body.
However, the increase in strength wasn’t as significant as before, as if it reached some kind of limit, unable to advance further.
"Did not become a Half-Step Dao Bizarre?"
Jia Ren’s face darkened, carefully observing the union of the three Venerable Rank Bizarre Demons.
The aura of the strange demon was indeed powerful, but it was more of a power generated by the aggregation of Bizarre Law, rather than a qualitative change.
"How could it fail?"
Everything was developing according to his expectations, only a step away, ultimately ending in failure.
What was the reason for the failure?
Could it be due to... the Suppressing Evil Path?
The Bizarre Law could not be converted into the Suppressing Evil Path?
Aside from that, there was a second guess.
The Suppressing Evil Path has an owner!
The Great Dao is unique. Although the Bizarre Path is peculiar, it cannot generate a Great Dao already occupied by someone else.
Regardless of the reason, it means he is unable to convert into the Suppressing Evil Path. To elevate the Profound Heaven Suppressing Immortal Demon Pagoda, he can only rely on the Evil-Suppressing Buddha Ancestor.
"Try the Space Dao!"
The Space Dao was in an incomplete state, he mastered half of the Space Dao Bizarre, while Yu Qiong Celestial Honor controlled half of the Space Dao, without a complete Space Dao.
Uncertain if his idea could work, he had to give it a try to verify his suspicions.
"Suppress!"
The Bizarre Venerable Rank Strange Monster charged at Jia Ren. Although the opponent’s ’Realm’ surpassed his own, he had no fear.
The Bizarre Slaying Flying Knife, transformed from the Heavenly Treasured Path Celestial Force, flew across, easily cutting through the black-red Guisi, aiding in tracing back to the power of the laws.
The Suppressing Evil Laws returned to his body and were then transformed into the Space Law and released into the world.
"Buzz!"
A massive aggregation of the power of the Bizarre Space Law, vibrating incessantly.
Within moments, thread-like strands of bizarre power imbued with Great Dao aura arose, growing increasingly intense.
Jia Ren was no stranger to this, it was a somewhat familiar aura of the Space Dao Bizarre.
Success?
He seemed to think of something, quickly took out the Black Jade Box, examining its interior.
The instant the Space Dao Bizarre appeared, Jia Ren first suspected that the half Space Dao Bizarre within the Black Jade Box had escaped in some unknown manner, as a means to verify the truth.
"Half the Space Dao Bizarre is still there, but the power has decreased by half."
Half of the Space Dao Bizarre had become a quarter of the Space Dao Bizarre, and with the newly born half Space Dao Bizarre, this meant... he controlled three-quarters of the Space Dao Bizarre.
Feasible!
Jia Ren’s eyes glowed with an unusual light, for the first time feeling the hope of obtaining a true Great Dao.
"Seal!"
The Profound Heaven Suppressing Immortal Demon Pagoda shook, suppressing the newly born half Space Dao Bizarre. Before it could resist, it was forcibly captured into the Black Jade Box.
With this, the Space Dao Bizarre reached a complete state of three-quarters.
Jia Ren traced back the Venerable Rank Strange Monsters in turn, converting them into Space Law, returning it to the world.
When the bizarre power aggregated again, half the Space Dao Bizarre was born.
Observing the Black Jade Box again, the sealed three-quarters of the Space Dao Bizarre had become half the Space Dao Bizarre.
Combined with the aggregated half Space Dao Bizarre, he would piece together a complete Space Dao Bizarre!
"Did it really succeed?!"
Jia Ren struggled to control his emotions, forcing himself to calm down.
Returning to the Immortal Realm, he couldn’t avoid a confrontation with Yu Qiong Celestial Honor and had to find a way to seize the other half of the Space Dao Bizarre from him.
All forces including Immortals, Monsters, Demons, and Bizarres were surely anticipating this, making the obstacles to obtaining the Space Dao immense, more dangerous than facing the three Buddhas of the Buddhist Sect.
Yet he achieved his desire in such a manner.
...
Immortal Realm.
Yuqiong Xianzun gazed coldly at the Ming Luo Temple and the Xuantian Immortal Treasure Sect, any abnormal movements could not escape his discerning eye.
He could sense that there were quite a few people interested in the Ming Luo Temple, with a few auras being extremely obscure, making them difficult to detect.
Jia Ren had a connection with the Ming Luo Temple, which was no secret to the top experts of the Immortal Realm. His two visits to the Xuantian Immortal Treasure Sect couldn’t be hidden from those with intentions.
They searched the Immortal Realm thoroughly but couldn’t find the missing Jia Ren, so they could only lie in wait here.
Three hundred years have passed, and the immortal demons and strange beings have welcomed a period of stability. Apart from the various forces uniting to hunt Buddhist experts, no conflicts have erupted.
Yuqiong Xianzun knew this stability would not last long. Currently, the focus of various forces was concentrated on the Xihua Immortal Domain.
Maintaining stability in the Xihua Immortal Domain was beneficial for luring Jia Ren out.
Amidst the watchful eyes of a pack of wolves, it was not an easy task for Yuqiong Xianzun to seize half of the Space Dao.
He didn’t want to step into the Bizarre Path, even with half the Space Dao Guai presented to him, he dared not embrace it.
The Space Dao was different; how Jia Ren managed to restore the Space Dao to normal was an opportunity not easy to come by.
No matter the cost, he must find a way to seize half of the Space Dao to truly ascend to the Ancestral Master Realm!
Three hundred years passed, and the attention from other experts had not diminished, with quite a bit of focus on himself too.
They wanted to use him as bait, set a trap, and lure Jia Ren out.
Half a Space Dao and an unknown secret technique to ascend to the Space Dao Ancestor — Jia Ren’s path of growth was clear, and he would surely walk the path of the Space Dao Ancestor.
Yuqiong Xianzun and Jia Ren were in a struggle for the Great Dao. In the face of the Space Dao, neither would yield an inch.
A struggle for the Great Dao, a fight to the death!
In this battle, one side is bound to fail while the other obtains the complete Space Dao.
Jia Ren and Yuqiong Xianzun were certain to meet face to face; they only needed to sit and wait, and they’d catch Jia Ren.
Several prepared Dao Ancestors would take action together, setting traps aimed at the Space Dao. Even if Jia Ren had Three Heads and Six Arms, escape would be impossible.
By then, obtaining the secrets held by the other would not be a difficult task.
"Yuqiong, you’ve contributed greatly to the Immortal Path, half of the Space Dao will naturally belong to you."
"Moreover, the missing half of the Space Dao was originally the power separated from your body."
The voice of the Mixed Primordial Dao Ancestor rang out, stabilizing Yuqiong Xianzun’s mood.
Yuqiong Xianzun understood the real intentions of the Dao Ancestors and, without words, silently agreed to the matter.
Jia Ren had a great secret, and the matter of purifying the Dao Bizarre pollution intrigued many powerful figures.
If not for this, the top experts of the Buddhist Sect, Immortal Path, and Bizarre Path would not collectively focus their attention on the Daluo Golden Immortal.
Yuqiong Xianzun was quite interested in the precious treasures on Jia Ren, but before truly ascending to the Space Dao Ancestor, he had no qualification to participate.
For him, reaching the Space Dao Ancestor was the most important!
"All shall follow the will of the Dao Ancestor."
Yuqiong Xianzun agreed decisively, and with the assurance from the Mixed Primordial Dao Ancestor, he was confident there would be no ambush or sabotage at the critical moment of ascension, polluting the Great Dao.
Even if a Daluo Golden Immortal relied on special means to temporarily ascend to the Space Dao Ancestor, escape from the precise arrangements of numerous experts would be impossible.
The Space Dao Ancestor was not far away!
Yuqiong Xianzun envisioned rising to the Space Dao Ancestor and seeking revenge against the one who polluted him, only to feel an unusual change within himself.
"The power of the Space Dao is decreasing? How is this possible?"
Yuqiong Xianzun felt the Space Dao within him inexplicably dissipating, as if taken away by some unknown means.
Jia Ren stealing my Space Dao using the Heaven-Stealing Dao?
Did he once again ascend to the Ancestral Master Realm by special means, stealing the Space Dao with unidentifiable methods?
The sudden change exceeded Yuqiong Xianzun’s expectations. He exerted all his strength, using the Space Force to suppress his own anomaly, trying to retain the loss of Space Dao Power.
In those days, he almost ascended to the Space Dao Ancestor, and he still maintained the position of a Half-Step Space Dao Ancestor, striving to prevent this from happening.
Exerting all his might, he couldn’t change the outcome.
Yuqiong Xianzun did not hesitate, decisively calling for help, reaching out to the Mixed Primordial Dao Ancestor: "Someone is stealing my Space Dao Power!"
The Mixed Primordial Dao Ancestor arrived instantly, with eyes like lightning, capturing everything within ten billion miles in an instant, turning the Xihua Immortal Domain into his own domain.
An invisible force surged, breaking the unseen connections, isolating and severing Jia Ren’s theft, to prevent the disappearance of the Space Dao Power.
"There is no power of the Heaven-Stealing Dao...what kind of method is this?"
The Mixed Primordial Dao Ancestor’s gaze was peculiar, not sensing any sign of a Great Dao, and without Yuqiong Xianzun’s Space Dao Power being halved, he would suspect deception.
"Thank you, Dao Ancestor."
Yuqiong Xianzun wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, feeling the Space Dao Power inside him reduced to half, only a quarter of normal remaining.
If the Mixed Primordial Dao Ancestor hadn’t intervened, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Jia Ren was too scheming and cunning, his method of stealing the Space Dao was impossible to guard against.
If he hadn’t sought help in time, even the last bit of Space Dao Power might not have been preserved.
The Mixed Primordial Dao Ancestor said nothing but looked at Yuqiong Xianzun with a gaze that was peculiar and strange.
"Bizarre Path convergence? Quite interesting."
Yuqiong Xianzun once again felt the Space Dao disappear, and the remaining quarter of the Space Dao vanished without a trace.
The Half-Step Ancestral Master Realm collapsed, reducing Yuqiong Xianzun to an ordinary Daluo Golden Immortal.
He raised his head in confusion, eyes appearing unfocused, muttering to himself:
"Where is my Space Dao?"
