Chapter 1751 Refuge in the Great Xia Realm

At this moment, Master Shi and Li Yanchu arrived at the depths of the Hong Realm.

Inside the Luoshui Palace, the Void Realm Dao Lord sensed a powerful aura.

Suddenly, Master Shi pointed a finger with an expressionless face, and a chilling light shot out.

The Void Realm Dao Lord frowned slightly. He dared not underestimate the Stone Dao Lord who had returned.

At this moment, he unleashed his divine powers and went to meet them.

However, the Stone Dao Lord's methods were extremely powerful. He not only broke through the Dao Realm Dao Lord's Dao Landscape, but also cleaved his Luoshui Palace in two.

Master Shi said calmly, "In the end, I call the shots in the Holy Domain. You traitors actually dare to try to control the Great Thousand Universe. Do you think I'm just a decoration?"

The Void Realm Dao Lord frowned slightly, his gaze falling on Li Yanchu, and he understood.
It must have been this boy who lured Master Shi here.

The Void Realm Dao Lord said in a deep voice, "Dao Lord Shi, are you going to stand up for the Jing Realm?"

The Stone Dao Master roared, "The Jing Realm is a universe under the jurisdiction of my Holy Domain. How dare you try to control it? You are simply audacious!"

Upon hearing this, everyone in the Jingjie Realm was greatly shocked.

They had always been enemies of the outer realms, but they never expected that the one who came to their rescue today would be the Dao Lord of the outer realms, while the one who captured and suppressed them was the Dao Lord of the Void Realm, who came from the same realm.

The world is truly full of strange and wonderful things.

Li Yanchu whispered to the side, "Master Shi, be careful not to attract other experts. We need to finish this quickly."

Master Shi smiled calmly: "No need to worry."

At this moment, two powerful auras revived within the Hongjie Realm and rapidly approached this place.

Dao Xiyi said, "Master Shi, didn't you have enough fighting at the ferry crossing earlier?"

Master Shi remained expressionless and said in a deep voice, "If we don't show you some tricks, you'll really think you can turn the world upside down!"

He vanished in a flash, arriving before the Lord of the Void Realm.

The Void Realm Dao Master frowned slightly and met the attack with a palm strike.

He is the master of the Great Dao; with a wave of his hand or a step, he can move at will, which is the divine power of the Great Dao.

However, when the Stone Dao Master pointed at him, he immediately felt his arm go numb and weak, as the Stone Dao Master had invaded his body's Great Dao.

The Stone Dao Master was now extremely powerful, even stronger than when they had fought before.

The Dao Lord of the Void Realm frowned slightly.

"The three of them have reaped the benefits of the vast universe and controlled the great Dao of other universes. They are indeed extraordinary. They had not revealed their true strength before."

At this moment, the Stone Dao Master repelled the Void Realm Dao Master with a single strike, and then summoned the Purple Pagoda to smash towards Dao Xiyi.

Dao Xiyi met the attack head-on and let out a muffled groan.

The Lord of Yanfu immediately activated the innate spiritual treasure, the Emerald Bamboo, and launched it over.

The Stone Dao Master possessed a powerful aura, and when he clashed with him head-on, he was not at a disadvantage at all.

He whispered to Li Yanchu, "I'll hold off the three of them, you hurry up and save the person."

When Li Yanchu saw the imposing Shi Daozhu, he thought he was going to kill all three Daozhus on the spot. Hearing this, he was stunned for a moment, then immediately charged out.

The three Dao Masters faced off against the Stone Dao Master, and the battle was evenly matched.

At this moment, Li Yanchu raised his divine axe and with a swift stroke, shattered the prisons of the Great Dao, rescuing everyone from the Realm of Scenery.

The Void Realm Dao Lord's cage was broken, and sensing this, he raised his hand and unleashed a powerful Daoist divine ability to attack Li Yanchu.

The Dao Lord's attack was no small matter. Li Yanchu sensed this terrifying crisis and immediately activated the Chaos Green Lotus, pouring all the killing Dao Qi in his body into it.

The azure lotus shone brightly, and the surrounding void instantly turned into chaos!
The next moment, Li Yanchu groaned, coughed up blood, and broke both arms, but he still managed to block the attack!
To withstand a Dao Lord's attack with the cultivation of a Dao Lord is truly astonishing.

When the Stone Dao Master saw Li Yanchu save the people of Jingjie and boost his cultivation, phantom images of vast universes appeared behind him.

Then Master Shi waved his sleeve and said, "This is not a place for you to stay. I will send you away."

Li Yanchu and the others from Jingjie felt an unparalleled force sweeping over them, pulling them into the vast universe behind the Stone Dao Master.

The countless phantom images of the vast universe behind him instantly fell silent.

The three Dao Lords were all shocked by the strength of Dao Lord Shi, and at this moment they used all their strength to sever the void.

The Stone Dao Master activated the Purple Tower, which grew larger and larger, extending into the void of the universe.

After Li Yanchu and his group were swept in, they fell into the illusory image of the vast universe behind him, and their whereabouts became unknown.

The Void Realm Dao Lord sensed something was wrong.

Master Shi forcibly blasted open a passage with his innate spiritual treasure, while Li Yanchu and the others have been sent to some unknown universe.

The Void Realm Dao Lord said, "Li Yanchu is the Emperor of the Jing Realm, and has always taken it upon himself to resist the alien realms. Now that you are helping him like this, aren't you just raising a tiger to cause trouble?"

Master Shi smiled slightly: "Previously, he lacked knowledge and did not understand the culture of my Holy Domain, and almost joined forces with you rebels. Now that I have saved him from dire straits, do you think he will want to kill me or you more in the future?"

The Dao Lord of the Void Realm's expression changed slightly.

Li Yanchu is extremely talented and a hero.

He has now abandoned the Jing Realm and allied with the Hong Realm, thus creating enmity between them.
He originally intended to subdue Li Yanchu by threatening him, but Shi Daozhu's interference turned it into a complete deadlock, and also created a terrible enemy for himself and Hongjie!

The Void Realm Dao Lord's face darkened: "Dao Lord Shi, you've really schemed! This should have been our blade, but now you're holding it in your hand!"

Master Shi laughed heartily, quite pleased with himself.

"This evil dragon has now escaped its confinement. In the future, it will wreak havoc on rivers and seas and devour the Hongjie Realm. This is the evil consequence you have sown today."

He had just used the Purple Tower to create a passage to send Li Yanchu away, which had already severely embarrassed the three Dao Lords. He had no intention of staying any longer and was preparing to leave.

Dao Xiyi's face was ashen: "What do you take my Hongjie for? You think you can come and go as you please? I didn't expect that the Dao Lord of another realm would now learn to sacrifice himself for others. Well then, you may stay!"

The smile that had just appeared on Master Shi's face froze.

Dao Xiyi activated the Great Dao of the Primordial World!
In an instant, the three thousand Great Daos erupted simultaneously: Earth, Wind, Water, Fire; Azure Dragon, Black Tortoise, Vermilion Bird; Reincarnation, Slaughter, Supreme Being, Supreme Unity, Primordial Beginning, Primordial Simplicity; Yin and Yang, Creation…

The Great Dao of this realm became unusually active at this moment, with the Three Thousand Great Daos erupting and immediately suppressing the Stone Dao Master.

Not only that, at this moment, the Void Realm Dao Lord and the Yama Floating Realm Dao Lord also immediately activated their divine powers to trap the Stone Dao Lord tightly.

This is an extremely powerful formation; even a Dao Lord cannot escape it.

The Stone Dao Master remained calm, showing neither joy nor sorrow, his expression unreadable, yet he was no longer able to leave the Hong Realm.

The three Dao Lords then went all out to refine him to death within the Hong Realm.

Although the escape of the powerful figures from the Realm of Scenery and the Great Dao Lord of Slaughter was a potential threat to them, it was not of great importance. The most important thing was to refine the Stone Dao Lord to death.

In the years that followed, the Great Dao Lord of the Outer Realm of Slaughter disappeared without a trace, and the Stone Dao Lord, who had ventured deep into the Heavenly Demon Ruins of the Hong Realm, also vanished without a trace.

However, the experts of the Hong Realm did not come out in full force; instead, they remained entrenched within the Hong Realm.

This also brought a rare period of peace to both sides.

.........

The Great Xia Realm is a universe under the jurisdiction of an outer domain, where Taoist practices flourish.

On the border of the Great Xia Realm, many ancient trees grow, their branches and leaves piercing the starry sky like coiled dragons.

The starry sky of the Great Xia Realm is very dim, as many stars have been refined into stardust by powerful cultivators and offered to the outer realms. The Great Xia Realm calls this ancient tree that reaches the heavens Jianmu. Fierce insects grow on Jianmu, which are entirely red with wings on their backs. They lurk among the branches and leaves of Jianmu, hiding during the day and emerging at night.

Golden fruits grow on the Jianmu tree; cultivators who consume them can comprehend the Great Dao of the Universe, making it truly extraordinary.

Therefore, cultivators often climb the Jianmu tree on the border of the Great Xia realm in order to take away these fruits for refinement.

These monks often die at the hands of insects, and many perish every year.

However, these cultivators gradually learned how to deal with these red worms.

However, although these red worms are nocturnal, they will swarm and attack in droves as soon as anyone approaches the ripe fruit, devouring the cultivators.

Their body shape is quite peculiar.

At this moment, an immortal from the Great Xia Realm suddenly looked up in horror, pointing to the horizon. A terrifying force, vast and boundless, pierced through the primordial energy outside the Great Xia Realm and forcefully blasted in.

This is a pagoda. One side of the pagoda was blown into the Great Xia territory, while the other side is still outside.

Everyone was filled with trepidation!

The aura emanating from this pagoda was terrifying, even breaking through the barriers of the universe.

Soon, the pagoda completely crossed the cosmic membrane of the Great Xia Realm and appeared within the Great Xia Realm.

The surrounding immortals were terrified and knelt down one after another.

The terrifying aura emanating from this purple tower rendered anyone unable to muster any thought of resistance.

The purple pagoda crashed to the ground, stirring up billowing dust and filling the surrounding area with the aura of a grand avenue.

Soon, a group of people emerged from the Purple Tower.

Leading the way was a tall, upright young man with a somewhat dazed look in his eyes. Beside him was a stunningly beautiful woman. Behind him, a group of people emerged from the tower one after another, including men and women, young and old.

Each of them possessed an extremely powerful aura, and their Taoist techniques were unfathomable.

Among the immortals of the Great Xia Realm, a kind-faced old man rushed over upon hearing the news. He had come after seeing a purple tower from beyond the heavens breaking through the cosmic barrier in the far north.

Upon seeing him, the immortals in the area bowed and said, "Greetings, Ancestor Changcun."

He was an old monster from the Great Xia Realm who rarely appeared in the Immortal Realm. He cultivated the Pure Yang Dao and had already attained immortality.

At this moment, he saw a group of people emerge from the purple tower, their faces extremely solemn.
"Oh no, they don't seem to be young masters or ladies from beyond the realm."

When those young masters and ladies from beyond the realm descend, they often come down from the cave. They need to prepare a large amount of offerings in advance, and sometimes they also need to prepare some immortal sacrifices.

However, this group of people came from beyond the heavens, arriving in the Great Xia Realm aboard a purple tower. Their identities and purposes are unknown.

Master Changcun sighed inwardly and stepped forward, saying, "Greetings, esteemed guest. I am Changcun, a disciple of the True King Hongdu of the Holy Realm. May I ask where you come from?"

The Great Xia realm is now under foreign rule, and the Pure Yang Dao he cultivates was passed down by the True King of Hongdu.

At this moment, he quickly revealed his identity to prevent these powerful guests from being unaware of his true strength and violating the Great Xia territory.

The young man at the head of the group looked dazed, and only came to his senses after hearing this. It was Li Yanchu.

Inside the Purple Tower, time and space seemed to be frozen, and they spent several years before following this innate spiritual treasure to the Great Xia Realm.

Upon hearing Ancestor Changcun's words, Li Yanchu frowned slightly.
"The True King of Hongdu?"

He recalled for a moment, and it seemed to be a holy king who cultivated the Pure Yang Dao.

Upon hearing this, Li Yanchu nodded slightly: "I see. Hongdu is still alive?"

He had just emerged from the strange space-time within the Purple Tower, and his mind was still somewhat muddled.

The previous battle at the ferry resulted in countless deaths and injuries, and he was unsure whether the True King of Hongdu, who cultivated the Pure Yang Dao, had already perished.

Upon hearing this, Master Changcun's expression changed, realizing that the visitor's intentions were not good.

Ancestor Changcun said, "The True King Hongdu resides in the land beyond the realms, where the Dao flourishes, and dwells high in the Great Luo Heaven. How could he possibly perish so easily? May I ask how to address this honored guest?"

Li Yanchu's eyes were still a little dazed. After a moment, he said, "Since you know the True King of Hongdu, you should know my name. I am the Lord of the Great Dao of Slaughter."

Upon hearing this, Master Changcun was greatly alarmed.

They also learned some information from the foreign lands, including the name of the Great Dao Lord of Slaughter from Beyond the Realm.

Many people from the Great Xia Realm also went to foreign lands to join the army. They greatly admired this young man from the lower realm who had attained enlightenment and become a Great Dao Lord in a short period of time, and regarded him as a hero.

For these people in the vast universe, it is an honor to be a member of a different kind of holy race.

This Lord of Slaughter defeated the Five Great Lords within a few hundred years and rose rapidly in the outer realms, serving as their role model.

Master Changcun said in a panic, "I did not know that the Great Dao Lord had come in person. Please forgive me!"

Li Yanchu calmly said, "We are here to seek refuge because we are being chased by our enemies. We are just passing through, so there is no need to be so formal."

Master Changcun was greatly shocked upon hearing this.

In his eyes, a figure like the Great Dao Lord was already at the pinnacle, yet he was being hunted down to this place by his enemies. How terrifying must the enemies he was facing be!
Li Yanchu asked, "Which universe is this?"

Ancestor Changcun said, "This place is the Great Xia territory."

Li Yanchu murmured to himself, "The Great Xia Realm."

He waved his hand and said to Patriarch Changcun, "You all should step back first. I have come here to take refuge. Do not make a fuss."

Master Changcun nodded obsequiously and quickly led his followers to retreat.

Only then did Li Yanchu have time to talk with Fang Youqing and the others. At this moment, everyone's eyes were filled with unspoken words, and they were very excited.

Fang Youqing said bitterly, "The Dao Lord of the Void Realm allied with the Hong Realm and betrayed us!"

Li Yanchu frowned and asked, "What exactly happened? What were the circumstances at the time?"

Fang Youqing said, "The Void Realm Dao Lord and the Supreme Dao Lord attacked the Jing Realm, and one by one, the Jing Realm experts were captured and imprisoned like chickens and ducks in cages."

She recounted what had happened, her voice filled with sorrow.

Upon hearing that the sixty-four immortals had perished, a surge of resentment rose in Li Yanchu's heart.
The Lord of the Void Realm deserves to die!

After this incident, Jingjie suffered a severe blow.

What was supposed to be an era of great growth has instead been completely disrupted by a severe blow.

"I don't think there are that many Great Dao Lords in the Hongjie, so why does he want to capture so many Immortals?"

Li Yanchu frowned slightly, then a thought struck him.
"Blood sacrifice!"

Fang Youqing said, "What?"

Li Yanchu said, "There is only one possibility for needing so many immortals: to preside over the blood sacrifice ritual and revive the Great Dao Master."

Fang Youqing and the others were also very surprised.

Li Yanchu has now mastered the art of killing and has a thorough understanding of blood sacrifice.

"It would take about fifty immortals to revive a Dao Lord."

"But the only Dao Lords we saw before were Dao Xiyi, Yanfu Dao Lord, and the Void Realm Dao Lord."

"In other words... there is at least one Dao Lord of the Hong Realm who has not yet shown himself."

Li Yanchu frowned deeply.
"Master Shi said that the other two Dao Masters from other realms should be wary of the enemy and not act rashly. Could this be what he was referring to?"

"It might not be the Great Dao Master of the Hong Realm. The resurrection of the Kui Gang Dao Master and his enmity with the Shi Dao Master seem to be the style of the Hong Realm, contacting the enemy of the enemy." Li Yanchu's heart sank slightly.
