Chapter 1758 Earth-shaking Changes
Li Yanchu had no attachment to the position of the Great Dao Lord of Slaughter. After returning to the Daosheng Palace on Dragon Phoenix Cliff, he summoned everyone to explain the matter.

The people of Jingjie greatly approved of Li Yanchu's actions in taking revenge on Hongjie.

The Jing Realm is now in the hands of the Void Realm Dao Lord and has become a stepping stone for the Hong Realm. They all have a deep-seated hatred for the Hong Realm, and secondly for the alien realm.

Jingjie has always considered the Otherworld to be a mortal enemy, but Jingjie is too weak to be a match for the Otherworld in some respects.

Now that Li Yanchu has left the foreign land, everyone followed him and left from the Great Luo Heaven.

The news quickly spread to the foreign land, plunging the entire region into turmoil.

Who is the Lord of Slaughter and Conquest?

He was a prodigy from the lower realm, who swept through reincarnation, yin and yang, life and death, creation, and the five great Dao Lords of gods and demons over hundreds of years, ascending to the position of Great Dao Lord.

In the war between the alien realm and the Hong Realm, he went on a killing spree, creating one terrifying killing opportunity after another.

Such a person is regarded as a hero in other lands, but today the Stone Dao Lord has ordered that he be stripped of his status as a Great Dao Lord and has announced this to other lands.

Some people were gloating, some were watching the spectacle, and some felt sorry for him. However, no matter who they were, they dared not underestimate this Lord of Slaughter.

Upon learning this news, the Lord of the Void Realm frowned slightly.

"Master Shi was extremely decisive; in order not to break the contract, he actually expelled him."

"But what is Master Shi planning?"
Wasn't Li Yanchu trained to counter the calamity from beyond the realm?

Are you now expelling him simply out of fear of breaking the contract?

The Lord of the Void Realm was somewhat surprised.

The same was true for Daoist Yu, except that Daoist Yu harbored a deep-seated hatred for Li Yanchu. Li Yanchu had humiliated him time and time again, and he wished he could kill him as soon as possible.

Now that Li Yanchu has descended from the Great Luo Heaven, Dao Lord Yu felt that the opportunity had arrived, and he dispatched many powerful experts from the Hong Realm to search for Li Yanchu's whereabouts.

But Li Yanchu disappeared without a trace after leaving the Great Luo Heaven.

Four or five years have passed, and his whereabouts have still not been found. Instead, several Grand Dao Lords of the Hongjie who went out to search for him were killed and their whereabouts are unknown.

The Lord of the Void Realm was furious about this. He personally left the Hong Realm to search for Li Yanchu's whereabouts, but he still couldn't find any trace of him.

……

Black Lake Storm
This Fengbo Lake is a forbidden area in the Black Domain, where indescribable sounds often resound, captivating all who hear them.

Many powerful individuals who approached this Blackwater Lake have vanished forever at the bottom of the lake.

At this moment, a handsome young Taoist priest threw one corpse after another in front of Blackwater Lake. These were all immortal Taoist lords from the Hong Realm.

The blood energy sealed within their corpses dissipated, causing the Great Dao within their bodies to collapse, and the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth suddenly began to stir.

An extremely powerful aura seems to be reviving from the bottom of the water.

As the corpse of Qingyi Daoist was dragged out, the aura and blood of a Great Dao Lord were fully released.

Suddenly, a figure appeared in the Blackwater Lake.

This was an old saint with a strong and powerful physique, his muscles were ferocious, his blood and qi were abundant, and his back seemed to be wrapped with a great dragon.

He was shirtless and very robust.

Now that he's resurrected, his cold, electric eyes look over, and he shouts, "Who resurrected me?"

He saw a young Taoist priest nearby, frowned slightly, and asked in a deep voice, "Who are you?"

Li Yanchu said, "Li Yanchu from the Jing Realm, may I ask how you should address me, Master?"

This Dao Lord, who had just been resurrected, showed no gratitude for Li Yanchu's kindness. He grinned and reached out with his large hand.

A terrifying force swept over them, intent on killing Li Yanchu.

This person's temperament surprised Li Yanchu.

However, Li Yanchu moved swiftly and retreated, defusing the crisis without making a sound.

The newly resurrected Dao Lord from another realm frowned. Although he had just been resurrected and his strength had not yet returned, he could not be easily avoided.

The saying "Below the Lord of the Great Dao, all are but ants" is no exaggeration.

Li Yanchu dodged his attack, but the foreign Daoist master reached out and grabbed again.

Upon seeing this, Li Yanchu summoned a Heaven-Slaying Blade, and the blade's light slashed down, instantly severing his Great Dao!

Only then did the expression of this foreign Dao Lord become solemn.
"Impressive technique. To break my divine power with the strength of a Great Dao Lord. Has the Daoist arts of other realms reached such a peak now?"

Li Yanchu smiled and said, "The powerful one is not the foreign land, but me. You need to understand that."

The foreign Dao Lord frowned and sneered, "You have quite the big mouth. You're just a Dao Lord, yet you dare to act tough in front of me!"

Li Yanchu smiled faintly: "Now that the Hongjie has recovered, the blood debt owed by the foreign lands back then will soon be repaid. You yourself are in a precarious situation, so you should think more about how to establish yourself in the foreign lands in the future."

This foreign Daoist master was named Ying Xuan, and he was somewhat surprised.
"Has the Hongjie Realm been revived?"

They went to Hongjie to study and each became a disciple of a Hongjie person. Later, when the Hongjie Dao underwent changes, they took the opportunity to kill all the Hongjie powerhouses and presided over a massacre, which was carried out in accordance with the standard of exterminating the entire race. Each of them was tainted with the karma of Hongjie and had a blood debt.

As he was pondering, Li Yanchu laughed loudly and retreated, his figure flashing and disappearing into the void.

Ying Xuan's expression turned solemn as he looked up at the sky.

At this moment, a purple tower burst through the void, carrying the power to annihilate everything in the world as it pressed down on him.

Ying Xuan's expression changed slightly: "Master Shi, after all these years, you still want to kill me completely!"

At this moment, he raised his palm to meet the attack, colliding with the Purple Pagoda.
Boom!
His palm print was shattered by the Purple Tower.

Ying Xuan's expression changed slightly. He had just been resurrected, while Daoist Shi had cultivated for an additional 130 million years, widening the gap between them.

He dared not linger any longer, so he broke through the air and disappeared into the vast void.

From then on, a Great Dao Master in the Black Domain was resurrected, and the Fengbo Lake Forbidden Zone disappeared.

The same scene occurred at Jiuyi Mountain.

Mount Jiuyi is majestic and magnificent, with peaks resembling swords and spears forming a unique array.

When Li Yan first arrived at this place, he released the corpse of a Hongjie Daojun and many other immortal realm experts, causing a surge of blood energy to spread out.

He presided over an evil sacrificial ritual. Soon, the Jiuyi Mountains split open, and a stream of light shot out from each of the peaks, eventually converging in the air to form a human shape.

This was a stunningly beautiful woman, dressed in a floor-length gown, with a cool and aloof expression.

After she appeared, Li Yanchu still stepped forward to greet her.

The woman nodded slightly and said, "My name is Jiang Xi. Thank you for helping me to be resurrected."

Li Yanchu's heart stirred.
This Dao Lord seems to be able to communicate, but the previous Dao Lord from another realm was simply an unyielding bastard. I helped him revive, but it was all for naught... Li Yanchu said, "I am Li Yanchu, from the Jing Realm. Now that the Hong Realm is recovering, the other realm is about to face a calamity. I also have selfish motives for reviving the Dao Lord at this time, so please forgive me."

Faced with the unreasonable Ying Xuan, Li Yanchu was even more unreasonable, but Jiang Xi seemed reasonable and had a gentle attitude, so Li Yanchu talked to her for a few more minutes.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xi nodded slightly.
Has the Hongjie Realm recovered?

She sighed,
"The consequences of what happened back then have come knocking on our door today."

Li Yanchu said, "The Hongjie and the other realms have a thousand-year-old pact, so there has been no war. However, the Dao Lord seems to no longer be a person from the other realms, so we should still be careful in everything we do."

Seeing that Li Yanchu was about to leave after speaking, Jiang Xi quickly said, "Please take care, benefactor. I will definitely help you if you need anything in the future."

Li Yanchu smiled and said, "Master Jiang is of noble character and admirable. If there is anything I need your help with in the future, I will definitely come to inform you. Master Shi's magic weapon is coming soon, so please leave quickly."

As soon as Li Yanchu finished speaking, he vanished into thin air.

Jiang Xi didn't give chase. She simply smiled calmly as she gazed at the faintly emerging power of the Great Dao in the sky.
"My benefactor seems unaware that it was Chen Yu who suppressed me."

At that moment, a simple, unadorned spear tore through the void and stabbed fiercely towards her.

In an instant, the surrounding void and spacetime froze.

Jiang Xi remained extremely calm. Unlike Ying Xuan, she did not confront the divine weapon. Knowing that she had just been resurrected and still needed time, she directly broke through the air and disappeared.

Above the sky, a huge face appeared behind the spear, then one eye darted around, scanning the surroundings, but it couldn't find Jiang Xi Daozhu's figure, and let out a cold snort.

The cracks in the sky and the spears vanished completely, as if they had never existed.

Li Yanchu had visited many places. Some forbidden zones were merely traces left by battles between powerful individuals, and most were extremely dangerous, but none of them contained the Dao Lords. He visited several places in succession and finally found Fengbo Lake and this Jiuyi Mountain.

The two Dao Lords who have emerged are quite interesting. One is a man and the other is a woman. One is from the old Holy Clan, and the other is not clearly visible, but she is not an extraordinary person. Their personalities are also very different.

After doing all this, Li Yanchu quietly withdrew.

He opened a chaotic cavern, where numerous immortal mountains stood. Soon, he entered and arrived at a continent entirely formed from the chaotic Dao.

To be precise, everything in this Chaotic Cave Abyss is composed of the Great Dao of Chaos.

He hadn't been idle in the past few years. After he comprehended the method of deducing cause and effect through killing, he also elevated the Chaos Dao to the level of Dao Lord through killing and deduction.

This chaotic abyss was also created when he attained enlightenment.

Unlike other caves, this cave was not an external object, but rather something he created within his own body, a result of the evolution of his Great Dao.

Li Yanchu found Fang Youqing, who asked, "Is the matter settled?"

Li Yanchu nodded and said, "The Dao Lord who has been resurrected this time is called Dao Lord Jiang Xi. He is quite gentle and grateful, and calls me his benefactor."

Fang Youqing said, "Human hearts are treacherous, and there are many people who are sweet-talking but treacherous. My husband, you must not be careless."

Li Yanchu smiled gently: "I know, but there are no ominous signs in my karma with her, so I can trust her for now. Of course, we should not underestimate her."

Fang Youqing asked, "Husband, what exactly do you intend to do by releasing two Dao Lords in succession?"

Li Yanchu said, "I want to make the alien realm even more chaotic. Daoist Shi has been kind to me, but the alien realm and I are on opposing sides, and a war is inevitable sooner or later. Let's release the two Daoists first and stir up the waters even more so that we can gain a foothold."

Fang Youqing said, "My husband wasn't this heartless before."

Li Yanchu shook his head: "I used to think that I could break through everything with my fists, but now there are many powerful people from other regions, and even I have to be careful. I need to be on my guard when dealing with them."

Fang Youqing asked, "Do you intend to continue searching for other Dao Lords?"

Li Yanchu said, "No need. There are at least three Dao Lords in the Hong Realm, or even more, and three in the Otherworld. And with the two I have resurrected, plus the Kui Gang Dao Lord who was resurrected before, that makes three again. I am very much looking forward to seeing what kind of clash will occur. If there are any more, I am afraid that the Dao Lords of the Otherworld will come to kill me first, which would be bad."

Fang Youqing said, "Those who do not become Dao Masters will ultimately be nothing but ants. Husband, you must be careful in your actions."

Li Yanchu nodded and said, "Don't worry. With the resurrected Dao Lord, I have a very heavy karmic burden. I am confident that I can elevate the Great Dao of Karma to the level of the Great Dao Lord. At that time, it won't be so easy for anyone to harm me."

In cultivating the Great Dao of Cause and Effect, Li Yanchu discovered that the heavier the karmic burden on his body, the faster he could cultivate.

He employed a two-pronged approach: on the one hand, he used killing and warfare to deduce cause and effect; on the other hand, he created numerous karmic connections, and these two Great Dao Masters were the karmic connections he created.

Next, Li Yanchu began cultivating the Great Dao of Cause and Effect, and as expected, his progress was rapid, as if divinely aided.

Moreover, after these two Dao Lords were resurrected, the one named Yingxuan was extremely tyrannical, and the Black Domain harbored smugglers and vicious criminals from the vast universe.
In order to restore his cultivation and refine the world, the Daoist Master defied all conventions and destroyed it. Now the Black Domain no longer exists.

The existence of something implies its rationality. The alien realm has always maintained the structure of the Black Realm, the Earth, and the Great Luo Heaven, which has remained unchanged for billions of years.

But now it has been destroyed because Li Yanchu released the Daoist Master.
This cause and effect is extremely heavy!
Li Yanchu cultivated the Great Dao of Cause and Effect to the level of Great Dao Lord in a short period of time!

Moreover, he has also made breakthroughs in his path of ruthless warfare.

Li Yanchu had a premonition that he had reached the peak of the Great Dao of Slaughter and was not far from becoming a Dao Lord.

However, although it's only one step away, the difference is like heaven and earth.

If you can't overcome that obstacle, you'll ultimately just be a Dao Lord.

Even so, Li Yanchu was already very satisfied.

Master Yu's words were like a wake-up call. Li Yanchu realized that if he wanted to take another step forward on the path of killing, he would have to create a calamity. Releasing Master Yu was one way to do so.

To Li Yanchu's surprise, despite bearing such a heavy burden of karma and creating such a terrifying calamity, the Primordial Dao within him continued to surge, constantly accumulating merit.

Li Yanchu was initially somewhat bewildered, but after analyzing the situation using the Great Dao of Cause and Effect, he discovered that the Black Domain was full of vicious and wicked people, and that destroying this place could certainly be considered a great act of merit.

He rebuilt the Great Dao of Primordial Chaos; this merit was useless to others, but to him it was a valuable remedy.
Highly nourishing!

"For so many years, the alien realm has enslaved the vast universe, creating one terrifying calamity after another, annihilating the life forms of the original universe."

This place has accumulated too much karma. To gain such great merit simply by destroying one dark realm—what if I could destroy the entire alien realm?

Li Yanchu thought to himself.

Although he once served as a warlord in a foreign land, he never forgot his original aspirations.

As for the karmic debt he incurred with Master Shi, he could only try to repay it.
