Chapter 1738 Discussion at Taiyuan Palace

After Li Yanchu approached the bronze coffin, the bronze coffin suddenly absorbed blood energy at a faster rate.

Not only that, the surrounding ground suddenly cracked open, and beams of red light surged out like a tidal wave.

Li Yanchu frowned, a thought flashing through his mind: "The being in the bronze coffin wants to devour me!"

He unleashed a palm strike, and the blood bats quickly turned to ashes under his power.

At the same time, Li Yanchu darted backward and quickly withdrew from the Tianling Forbidden Zone.

Only after leaving did Li Yanchu realize that her back was soaked with cold sweat.

The creature inside the bronze coffin was no ordinary person; the aura it emitted alone was enough to send chills down one's spine.

A Dao Lord is sealed within this forbidden zone!
Li Yanchu was somewhat surprised.

He dared not linger in the Tianling Forbidden Zone any longer and turned to leave.

Shortly after he left, a magical artifact suddenly crashed down from the sky.

It was a small tower shrouded in purple mist. When the tower descended, with a deafening roar, all the blood bats in the forbidden zone were annihilated.

Standing above the clouds was a beautiful young woman with a round face and flawless skin. Her attire resembled that of a Miao girl, revealing her slender waist and adorned with many silver ornaments.

The Great Dao Lord of Reincarnation had killed many living beings in the Black Domain, causing his blood energy to surge and triggering a riot in the Heavenly Tomb Forbidden Zone.

After the girl threw the small tower down, the Tianling Forbidden Zone calmed down, and even the crack in the bronze coffin seemed to close and disappear.

The girl glanced down from the clouds and, seeing the riot suppressed, turned and left.

On the other side, after leaving the Tianling Forbidden Zone, Li Yanchu wandered through the Black Domain and discovered that there were actually two other places like the Tianling Forbidden Zone within the Black Domain.

One is Youdu, which Bai Qiuheng and the others discovered earlier, and the other is called Weishan.

Both places were forbidden areas, but Li Yanchu did not go any deeper this time, only taking a look from afar.

Li Yanchu's expression was very solemn.

"The waters beyond this realm are deeper than I imagined. If even a Dao Lord can be suppressed, then I still have a long way to go."

Of course, becoming a Dao Lord is a distant dream for him. What he wants to do now is become the sixth Great Dao Lord from beyond the realm.

He traveled for a long time beyond the borders and vaguely heard the sounds of fighting ahead.

A beautiful woman with her hair piled high is fighting with a burly, strange man.

This strange man had two faces formed by yin and yang energies on the back of his head; he was none other than the Yin-Yang Dao Lord, while the one he was fighting against was the Supreme Dao Lord.

"The Supreme Dao Lord's supernatural powers are much more formidable..."

Li Yanchu raised an eyebrow.

However, the extraterrestrial being who was competing with her was even more powerful.

Looking at this person's Dao, Li Yanchu recognized that this person must be the Yin-Yang Dao Lord, and only he could cultivate Yin and Yang Qi to this extent.

The two fought extremely fast, shattering the void and spreading their Dao power!

The Supreme Dao Lord said in a deep voice, "Yin Yang, I am no longer in Cui Bei City, why are you pressing me so hard?"

Yin Yang Daojun said coldly, "Last time I spared your life, which was criticized by several other Daoist brothers. Keeping you alive will always cause trouble in the future. Today I will correct this mistake."

As soon as Yin Yang Dao Jun finished speaking, he swept his sleeves and attacked. The Yin Yang Dao surged and roared, stretching for tens of thousands of miles.

Within the area where the two were fighting, there were towering giants, each a thousand feet tall. They were originally cultivators from the Black Domain, but were transformed into these giants by the power of the Yin-Yang Dao. They had no intelligence, were in a daze, and were constantly killing each other.

The Yin-Yang Dao Lord made a stunning move. Although the Supreme Dao Lord had recovered somewhat, he was still no match for him and was forced to retreat steadily.

The Supreme Dao Lord tried to defend himself, but upon seeing Li Yanchu, his gaze suddenly sharpened.
What is he doing here?

Despite the damage, the Supreme Dao Lord tore through the void and fled. The Supreme Dao was extremely mysterious, and for a time, the Yin-Yang Dao Lord could not find her whereabouts.

However, he did not continue to pursue the Supreme Dao Lord, but stopped and looked at Li Yanchu.

The two faces behind his head were both angry as they walked towards Li Yanchu step by step.

The Yin-Yang Dao Lord said in a deep voice, "Are you Li Yanchu?"

Li Yanchu nodded and said, "That's right."

The Yin-Yang Dao Lord coldly said, "Is it you who released the Supreme Chaos Dao Scripture from beyond the realm, causing the killing to intensify there?"

Li Yanchu raised an eyebrow, then calmly said, "I don't know what you're talking about."

Yin Yang Daojun sneered: "What you've used are just some petty tricks. Even the Supreme One is no match for me. Even if you release that Dao Scripture, you won't be able to stir up any trouble."

Li Yanchu shook his head and said, "I came to the outer realms to study. What does it have to do with a traitor like the Supreme Lord?"

Upon hearing this, the Yin-Yang Dao Dao Jun said, "So, you don't consider yourself a traitor?"

Li Yanchu said in a deep voice, "I challenged the Great Dao Lord of Reincarnation for the position of Great Dao Lord, how could I be a traitor?"

The Yin-Yang Dao Lord stared at him and said, "Very well, it seems you are also aware of the customs of my Holy Domain. I wonder which one you will challenge next?"

Li Yanchu said loudly, "There's no time like the present. Why not ask the Great Dao Lord for guidance?"

He was elegant and refined, and there was not a single fault with him.

Yin Yang Daojun smiled and said, "I will be waiting for you at Shouyang Mountain in ten days. I am also very interested to see what extraordinary methods you have that forced Reincarnation to refine a small part of the Black Domain."

Li Yanchu said in a deep voice, "Alright, I will go to Shouyang Mountain to keep the appointment in ten days."

Yin Yang Daojun nodded slightly, and then left the place.

Having encountered Li Yanchu today, he had no desire to pursue Taishang any further.

…………

Soon, the news spread, and the powerful figures both underground and above ground were somewhat shaken.

Some immortal Dao Lords are heading towards Shouyang Mountain in the Great Luo Heaven.

This news is incredibly explosive. After defeating the Lord of Reincarnation, Li Yanchu is now going to challenge the Lord of Yin and Yang, with the final battle to take place in the Great Luo Heaven.

The immortal powerhouses in the Great Luo Heaven were naturally restless and eagerly anticipated this battle.

Ten days later quickly passed.

After adjusting his mindset, Li Yanchu arrived at Shouyang Mountain.

Shouyang Mountain is the Daoist temple of the Yin-Yang Daoist Lord. The Yin-Yang Qi here is extremely rich. Disciples of the Yin-Yang Daoist sect stand on the left and right, their expressions solemn.

The Yin-Yang Dao Lord had only one Dao Lord under his command, named Dao Lord Siyin. Upon seeing Li Yanchu arrive, he stepped forward to greet him, cupping his hands and saying, "Fellow Daoist Li, the Great Dao Lord has been waiting for you for quite some time." If Li Yanchu were merely an Immortal or an ordinary Dao Lord, he wouldn't deserve such treatment.
However, Li Yanchu defeated the Reincarnation Dao Lord, making him a hero of his time, and Dao Lord Siyin treated him with great courtesy.

Li Yanchu nodded and followed Daoist Siyin into the Taiyuan Palace on Shouyang Mountain. The disciples on both sides looked at Li Yanchu with curiosity.

Qi Huang, who had once fought against Li Yanchu, was also among the disciples, his expression solemn.

Several years ago, he could still compete with Li Yanchu, but now Li Yanchu has come to Taiyuan Palace to challenge his master.

Qi Huang couldn't help but feel as if he had lived through another world.

Qi Huang, as the strongest immortal among the five major Daoist sects, was defeated by Li Yanchu. He felt extremely humiliated and couldn't get over it for a long time. So he worked hard to cultivate and strive for improvement.

Later, Li Yanchu defeated many Dao Lords, and his desire to compete with Li Yanchu faded.

After hearing that he had defeated the Lord of Reincarnation, he had no more thoughts of fighting him.

Moreover, Qi Huang now feels somewhat honored that Li Yanchu had defeated him.

Qi Huang thought to himself, "I've fought Li Yanchu before, and I even took one of his moves back then."

Many of his fellow disciples had come to ask him about it, since Qi Huang had fought Li Yanchu and had survived the defeat, which they were very curious about.

Qi Huang gradually came to admire Li Yanchu more and more.

He watched Li Yanchu stride into Taiyuan Palace and was filled with emotion.

Before Li Yanchu arrived at Taiyuan Palace, Yin Yang Daojun was already waiting there. The Yin and Yang energies behind his head formed two faces, and he calmly said, "Fellow Daoist Li is indeed punctual. The ten-day appointment has been fulfilled as scheduled."

Li Yanchu said calmly, "Naturally, I dare not be negligent in my fight against the Great Dao Lord."

The Yin-Yang Dao Dao Jun nodded slightly.

Although he also wanted to kill Li Yanchu, Li Yanchu was still quite polite to him.

In comparison, it is said that he was extremely vicious when he chased after the Lord of Reincarnation, so the Lord of Yin and Yang couldn't help but feel a sense of goodwill towards him and found him more pleasing to the eye.

Of course, this does not prevent Yin Yang Dao Jun from killing someone during a fight.

The Yin-Yang Daoist Master said, "Disciples of the Yin-Yang Daoist Sect, listen to my command and all step back. Today, I will discuss the Dao with Fellow Daoist Li. Regardless of victory or defeat, you must not make things difficult for Fellow Daoist Li."

The disciples obeyed and quickly moved away, not daring to get too close.

At this moment, all the immortals and Dao Lords were observing this battle near Shouyang Mountain.

At this moment, Daoist Jiang Guan stood side by side with Daoist Yin, his expression solemn.

He originally possessed a primordial spiritual treasure, a treasure that even the Great Dao Lord would covet. Unfortunately, he was unable to unleash the power of the Chaos Green Lotus before Li Yanchu snatched it away, a fact he has always resented.

Jiang Guandao thought to himself, "If he loses to the Great Dao Lord today, I absolutely cannot let him leave the Great Luo Heaven alive."

The Dao Lords who were defeated by Li Yanchu before were not simple-minded either.

Regardless of whether the Yin-Yang Dao Lords were sincere or not, they were at least of extraordinary character. They strictly ordered their disciples not to make things difficult for Li Yanchu, but the thoughts of these Dao Lords were somewhat complicated.

Hearing that Li Yanchu possessed two magical treasures, many people were already eager to acquire them.

Jiang Guan was also curious at this moment, wondering who would win and who would lose in his battle against the Yin Yang Dao Lord.

Jiang Guan Daojun looked at Yin Daojun beside him and asked, "Fellow Daoist Yin, you were in the Black Domain that day. Do you think Li Yanchu can defeat Yin Yang Daojun today?"

Yin Daojun shook his head and said, "Li Yanchu won by luck that day. The Samsara Dao Lord killed too many people, which caused the killing tribulation to surge and was manipulated by him. Otherwise, given that he had just entered the Dao Lord realm, it would have been impossible for him to easily defeat the Samsara Dao Lord."

Nowadays, rumors and misinformation spread outside the region, exaggerating Li Yanchu's combat strength to an extremely high degree.

However, some powerful individuals knew there was definitely something fishy going on.

Yin Daojun witnessed it firsthand and, after analyzing it, concluded that Li Yanchu had taken a shortcut that day!
The Great Dao Lord of Reincarnation lost half of his life due to the calamity he himself caused.

Yin Daojun is well-versed in the Great Dao of Cause and Effect, which is one of the nine innate Daos and is extremely profound. He is highly respected by powerful figures from beyond the realm.

Upon hearing this, Daoist Jiang Guan nodded and said, "Many rumors are untrue these days. After hearing what Fellow Daoist Yin said today, I feel that it is closer to the truth."

It turns out that Daoist Jiang Guan was still having some difficulty understanding.
How could Li Yanchu, a mere Daoist, defeat the Great Daoist of Reincarnation?

However, if it involves the Domain Killing Tribulation, then it is indeed highly possible!
Yin Daojun smiled slightly: "Yin Yang Daojun has publicly challenged him to a duel. Where in the Great Luo Heaven could there be any calamity? Even if there were, it would be impossible for him to mobilize it. Li Yanchu is using his true Dao power to fight against Yin Yang Daojun. Isn't the outcome obvious?"

Jiang Guandao nodded and said, "Then he will undoubtedly be defeated today."

Jiang Guan Daojun cultivates the Chaos Dao, and Yin Daojun cultivates the Cause and Effect Dao; they are both renowned powerhouses from beyond the realm.

At this moment, their conversation was overheard by some Immortal Dao Lords, who nodded in agreement.

"As expected, it was the Yin-Yang Dao Lord's extensive experience that led him to invite Li Yanchu to the Taiyuan Palace, allowing many fellow cultivators from beyond the realm to see for themselves that Li Yanchu... he can't turn the world upside down!"

"I knew it. If he hadn't used some trickery, how could he possibly have defeated the Lord of Reincarnation?"

"Indeed, the Supreme Dao Lord of Cuibei City is so glorious and powerful, yet he was easily defeated by the Yin-Yang Dao Lord. If Li Yanchu cannot use any tricks this time, how can he compete with the Dao Lord?"

Most people are not optimistic about this battle.

Even though Li Yanchu has already defeated the Reincarnation Dao Lord, and his current strength is acknowledged by them,
However, they couldn't accept that Li Yanchu, being a fellow Dao Lord, could defeat a Great Dao Lord.

Many people watched this scene with great anticipation.

At this moment, the Yin and Yang energies behind the Yin-Yang Dao Lord's head suddenly surged, and the entire Taiyuan Palace seemed to be born purely from the transformation of the Yin-Yang Dao.

The Yin-Yang Dao Lord shouted in a deep voice: "Yin and Yang revolve!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the yin and yang energies around him suddenly surged.

The Yin-Yang Dao is different from the Creation Dao. The Creation Dao can give life to lifeless things, but the Yin-Yang Dao can create life out of thin air, and is the basis for the reproduction of all things!
At this moment, the Yin-Yang Dao Lord unleashed his divine powers, and in an instant, many Daos around him became active.

The group wasn't the first to be affected, but they were simply influenced by this aura, causing their internal Dao to become somewhat disordered, as if another person was about to be born from within them.

Everyone was surprised and quickly used their supernatural powers to defend themselves.

Watching this battle isn't so easy; those with low strength aren't even qualified to watch from the sidelines.

Li Yanchu directly confronted the divine powers of the Yin-Yang Dao Lord.

Previously, he had only seen the Yin-Yang Dao Lord deal with the Supreme Dao Lord, but he did not think it was particularly ingenious. However, after exchanging blows today, he deeply felt the terror of this person's Yin-Yang Dao!
He actually targeted Li Yanchu's cultivation of the Dao of Slaughter, attempting to reverse it.

Li Yanchu raised his hand and threw a punch. A bright, murderous abyss hung behind his head, gradually growing larger.

His path of slaughter was extremely domineering. When it clashed with the path of Yin and Yang, the two were evenly matched!
The Yin-Yang Dao Lord's supernatural powers could not affect Li Yanchu, who remained calm despite being bathed in the Yin and Yang energies.

Yin Yang Daojun let out a soft "Eh?"
He was unaware of the details of the battle between Li Yanchu and the Lord of Reincarnation that day.

I've only heard that Li Yanchu cultivates multiple Great Daos and has made many gains in his challenges against the immortal Dao Lords from beyond the realms, having attained immortality in six of the nine innate Daos.
In this way, his Yin-Yang Reversal can completely restrain Li Yanchu. With the six innate Great Daos attacking each other, the Great Dao within Li Yanchu's body will collapse!
However, the moment they exchanged blows, he sensed something was wrong.

Li Yanchu clearly possessed only the pure Dao of slaughter, and could break through Yin and Yang with his killing power without suffering any harm!
Yin Yang Daojun frowned slightly, and his expression became much more solemn than before.
