Chapter 1771 The False Heavenly Dao

Traveling through the primordial Qi matter was extremely slow. Li Yanchu summoned the Taiyi Divine Axe, breaking through space and time, and his speed immediately increased, becoming several times faster than when he went to the Great Zhou Realm.

The others behind him worked together to try to break through the passage.

This primordial energy is very special; no matter what kind of Great Dao you cultivate, you will be stuck to it. It is as if it is a natural protective layer of the universe.

Li Yanchu had originally cultivated a cosmic primordial spirit, becoming the Heavenly Dao of the Jing Realm. Unfortunately, he was repeatedly shattered and reassembled during battles, thus forging his Dao body through warfare.
Although his cultivation level broke through again and again, reaching the second and third levels, until he cultivated to the level of the Great Dao Lord of Slaughter, his cosmic primordial spirit had not been re-condensed.

Therefore, Li Yanchu is no longer the Heavenly Dao of the Jing Realm.

When they finally broke through the Primordial Qi matter and arrived at the Realm of Realm, everyone was initially very excited, but then their smiles froze.

The realm had fallen into darkness; all the suns and stars had vanished, leaving the entire world empty and shrouded in darkness.

Li Yanchu said, "I've seen this before. Some universes that have been ravaged by aliens look like this."

Everyone was filled with anger. The Lord of the Void Realm was, after all, a member of the Realm of Scenery, yet he acted in such a way.

Cuihua retorted angrily, "How is the way the Hongjie does things any different from that of the foreign lands?"

Fang Youqing sneered, "Perhaps if it weren't for the alien realm's counterattack back then, Hongjie and the others would now be the ones reaping the benefits of the vast universe."

Li Yanchu is no longer the Heavenly Dao of the Jing Realm. He tried to comprehend it, but found that there was actually a new Heavenly Dao in the Jing Realm. He immediately frowned.

Seeing the change in his expression, Fang Youqing asked, "Husband, what happened?"

Li Yanchu said, "There is another Heavenly Dao in the Jing Realm, but it is not the original Heavenly Dao..."

As he explored with his divine sense, he uttered these words in shock.

Fang Youqing asked, "What's going on?"

Li Yanchu said, "I also want to know why the Heavenly Dao is in my shape, and why the Jingjie is not a chaotic void, nor is it subject to spacetime distortion."

Li Yanchu led his followers to fly towards the Immortal Realm. The Immortal Realm was originally very prosperous, but now it is very barren, with one immortal mountain after another being harvested.

The Realm of Scenery is a large universe that has been revived and where the Great Dao is flourishing. However, hundreds of years have passed, and while the Great Dao is now more complete, the Immortal Realm is extremely barren. As far as the eye can see, there are only large pits, and not even a single immortal mountain can be found.

Li Yanchu led the group all the way to the Thirty-Third Heaven, where countless immortals were astonished along the way.
The heavenly soldiers and generals all shouted rebukes, but upon seeing Li Yanchu, they immediately knelt and bowed in respect.
"The Heavenly Emperor is back! The Heavenly Emperor is back!"

Back then, all the immortals of the Jing Realm were abducted, leaving only some Dao Eight and Dao Seven beings behind.

Although they had never met Li Yanchu, the legends of Emperor Li and the worship of Emperor Li were widespread throughout the heavens.

Li Yanchu originally intended to fight his way up to the Thirty-Third Heaven, but seeing everyone kneeling in worship, he stopped and said in a deep voice, "Tell me, what happened in the Jing Realm?"

An immortal rushed over, heartbroken, and said, "Your Majesty, after you left, the Lord of the Void Realm went around capturing all the immortals and killing those who resisted him. Moreover, he created a new Heavenly Dao!"

"The Heavenly Dao looks exactly like you, but it likes to toy with all living beings. It makes all living beings attack and kill each other incessantly as a game. Yin and Yang are reversed, and the order of the human world is in chaos. Now it is impossible to tell whether it is the human world or purgatory. The sun, moon and stars in the sky have all been taken away and refined into treasures. Even now, there are still people from the Void Realm who act arrogantly and domineeringly in the Thirty-Three Heavens."

Li Yanchu gritted his teeth as he listened, and the powerful figures from the Realm of the Mirror World beside him were also filled with righteous indignation.

At this moment, a voice rang out. The speaker was a young man dressed in a dragon robe, whose face looked exactly like Li Yanchu's, except that he had a more majestic aura. He was accompanied by many powerful figures who claimed to be people from the Void Realm. After enslaving the Jing Realm for hundreds of years, each of them looked arrogant and haughty.

Li Yanchu met the gaze of the Heavenly Dao of the Realm and said in a deep voice, "A man-made Heavenly Dao, what exactly did the Dao Lord of the Void Realm do to you?"

Jingjie Tiandao said calmly, "You traitor, you actually dare to come back!"

Behind him were thirty-six people, who flew out together, each possessing immortal strength.

At this moment, everyone's expressions turned grim. They activated the great formation, and an ancient formation appeared, trapping Li Yanchu within it.

In an instant, the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth in the Realm of Scenery became extremely active.

Li Yanchu's gaze swept over them. There were only thirty-six immortals left in the Jing Realm. Right in front of him were unfamiliar faces that he had never seen before.

Li Yanchu calmly said, "I haven't used the Dao of Cause and Effect for a long time."

Then he activated his Eye of Cause and Effect, and the cause and effect on everyone's bodies became apparent.

These are all natives of the Jing Realm, but they willingly degenerated and were transformed by the Dao Lord of the Void Realm, their bloodlines were replaced, and with the help of the Dao Lord of the Void Realm, they cultivated to immortality!
These thirty-six immortals all refer to themselves as beings from the Void Realm, which can be seen as a return to their ancestral roots after forgetting their ancestors.

Li Yanchu's Eye of Cause and Effect swept over the Heavenly Dao, and with a raised eyebrow, he could discern the person's background.

He then put away the Eye of Cause and Effect.

Jingjie Tiandao coldly said, "If I had known you might come back, this Nine Abyss Formation would have been prepared for you."

At this moment, all thirty-six people mobilized their supernatural powers and activated the Nine Abyss Grand Formation.

They were taught techniques by the Dao Lord of the Void Realm and were confident that they could trap Li Yanchu with the Nine Abyss Formation.

As the core of the formation, Jingjie Tiandao suddenly raised his hand, and the power of these thirty-six immortals was involuntarily harvested.

Their inner realm rapidly declined from immortality to the eighth, seventh, and sixth levels of the Dao Realm, until they were reduced to mortals. Their once majestic faces were now decaying, and their vitality was rapidly fading away.

Everyone was shocked and said in disbelief:

"Why is Your Majesty acting this way?!"

"Why is this happening? Why is this happening?"

They betrayed the Jingjie realm and Li Yanchu, the Heavenly Emperor who had performed great deeds, and instead pledged allegiance to the false Heavenly Dao, where they gained his deep trust.

He was taught the Nine Abyss Formation as a crucial backup plan to deal with the rebellious Emperor Li Yanchu.
How could their power be harvested at this time?
They were all in a panic.

However, the Heavenly Dao of the Realm kept its gaze on Li Yanchu and didn't even glance at them.

These people are caught up in the situation but are unaware of it... Li Yanchu sneered: "You think that by pledging allegiance to the Dao Lord of the Void Realm, he will really accept you? You have never been to the other realm and do not know what a cannibalistic world it is. The Dao Lord of the Void Realm is also a cannibalistic villain."

One of them suddenly burst into tears: "Your Majesty, save me! I followed you back then and raised an army from Daohai to attack the Heavenly Court!"

"Your Majesty, save me! Your Majesty, we were wrong!"

"Your Majesty, we had no choice!" "Your Majesty, please save us!"

They wept bitterly, knelt on the ground, and begged Li Yanchu for forgiveness and mercy.

In their view, the Lord of the Void Realm was extremely cruel, and all the immortals of the Jing Realm perished at his hands. Li Yanchu, on the other hand, was a hero who had saved the entire Jing Realm and should come to their rescue at this time.

The immortal beings of the realm behind Li Yanchu were so angry they laughed.

Cuihua angrily said, "You have betrayed Jingjie and become its lackeys. Now you still have the nerve to beg for mercy."

Li Yanchu's gaze was cold, and he said with disdain, "To say another word to you would be beneath my dignity."

Li Yanchu waved his hand, and the divine power of the Great Dao spread out. Everyone present was now a mortal, and they were no match for him. They were instantly annihilated.

On the other side, Jingjie Tiandao's cultivation level was constantly rising. In an instant, he reaped thirty-six immortals, and completely devoured them, which raised his cultivation level to an extremely terrifying level.

"You have no idea how terrifying a Dao Lord is. Below a Dao Lord, all are ants. How can you possibly be considered a Dao Lord?" Jingjie Tiandao said coldly.

He gently raised his hand, and an extremely terrifying pressure rushed towards him.

The Great Dao of Heaven and Earth became extremely active, pressing down on Li Yanchu.

In an instant, Li Yanchu felt everything about him fall into chaos. The divine power hadn't even landed yet...
Li Yanchu's past, future, and present, and all his perceptions about everything, were forcibly altered.

But it only lasted for a moment before Li Yanchu unleashed a soaring killing intent.

Li Yanchu said, "Everyone says that fate plays tricks on people, but which fate dares to fool me?"

He raised his palm like a knife, and a sharp blade of light appeared.
In an instant, all the chaotic Heavenly Dao was cleaved apart, and he slashed at the Heavenly Dao of the Realm!

Jingjie Tiandao was startled and hurriedly dodged, but it was too late. Half of his body was cut open by the knife, and his spiritual light danced in the air, with blood dripping everywhere.

Li Yanchu said in a deep voice, "So you were jealous of my cultivation of the Cosmic Primordial Spirit when we first met. You really can't hold your temper, Dao Lord of the Void Realm."

As Li Yanchu finished speaking, the Heavenly Dao of the Realm looked at the torn wound, and after a moment, suddenly smiled. He no longer looked like Li Yanchu, but transformed into a tall old man with a pair of sharp golden eyebrows.

"It's really strange. You barely managed to grasp the Heavenly Dao of the Jing Realm by imitating your own aura. Even your face gets you extra points here in the Jing Realm. Why is that?" the Void Realm Dao Lord said unwillingly.

Everyone watching was astonished. It turned out that this new Heavenly Dao was actually formed from the avatar of the Dao Lord of the Void Realm!

The Void Realm Dao Lord's injuries quickly healed completely. He absorbed the power of thirty-six immortals, and with the blessing of the Heavenly Dao, his cultivation had reached a terrifying level.

Li Yanchu interrupted his smugness, coldly saying, "Is this what you learned in the Hong Realm?"

The Void Realm Dao Master said, "You cannot even imagine how profound the Dao of the Primordial Realm is. A summer insect cannot comprehend ice."

Li Yanchu sneered upon hearing this: "Your words make me want to go and see the Hongjie."

The Void Realm Dao Lord frowned: "How could such a crude fellow like you gain the recognition of the Jing Realm? I should be the savior of the Jing Realm, and only I can turn the tide. You are nothing more than a Great Dao Lord, what makes you so special?"

Li Yanchu sensed that the Dao Lord of the Void Realm harbored intense resentment towards him, which alarmed him because this resentment had never been revealed before.

Li Yanchu said, "You really have a lot of patience."

The Lord of the Void Realm said, "At first I knew you were a junior, but later you became too prominent. It's not enough for you to dominate in the other realms, you also have to occupy the Jing Realm. The Lord of the Jing Realm can only be me."

Li Yanchu said angrily, "It's fine if you want to be the ruler of Jingjie, but you've managed to govern Jingjie like this."

The Lord of the Void Realm said, "To show my sincerity, I will naturally sacrifice some resources, which I will make up for later when I come to power."

Li Yanchu said coldly, "Shameless, you are number one."

The Lord of the Void Realm remained unperturbed and suddenly said, "The Realm of Scenery was forcibly created back then by a great figure who has been erased from history. Although I cannot fathom the intentions of that great figure, I know that it may not be as simple as just transferring calamities to other realms."

There's so much information... Li Yanchu frowned: "You're not talking about the owner of that axe god's axe, are you?"

Jingjie Tiandao nodded slightly: "That's right. Jing Qing Daozhu of the other realm, only here can I mention his name. Once we arrive in the other realm, his name will be erased."

“Lord Jingqing created this realm. As the Lord of this place, I should be the complete Lord of the Jingqing Realm, not just the Lord of a part of the Void Realm. Perhaps killing you can make up for this part of the cause and effect.”

Li Yanchu's expression was somewhat subtle at this moment.

"According to what the Lord of the Void Realm said, doesn't that mean the Jing Realm was created by the extraordinary Jing Qing?"

"If that person wasn't lying to me, and he really is my past self, wouldn't that mean that the entire Jing Realm was created by me!"

Jingjie Tiandao, unaware of Li Yanchu's thoughts, continued:

"I never understood before, how could the Divine Axe, which is Taiyi's most precious treasure, choose you?"

"However, after today, none of that matters anymore. I will kill you, seize the divine axe, and end it all."

He also had his own plans, which differed from Hongjie's. Killing Li Yanchu, becoming the master of Jingjie, and completely controlling this realm would be more meaningful to him.

At this moment, as Jingjie Tiandao finished speaking, his Heavenly Will, like a blade, slashed fiercely towards Li Yanchu.
Under this blade, all the great principles are transforming into the Heavenly Way.

Back in the Jing Realm, Li Yanchu possessed the power of the Heavenly Dao, which gave him a significant advantage.
The current Dao Lord of the Void Realm, in his Dao Lord incarnation, in coordination with the Heavenly Dao, has once again reaped thirty-six immortals. His actions are truly devastating.

Li Yanchu said indifferently, "The big shot you admire was recently thrown into the Star Sea by me. I can kill him, and I can kill you too."

Li Yanchu flipped his palm, took out the Taiyi Divine Axe, raised the axe, and slashed down fiercely!

This axe fell with the force of splitting the heavens and earth. When it met the Heavenly Blade, the Heavenly Blade was no match for it and shattered with a crash. The Heavenly Dao was no match for Li Yanchu's divine axe!

At this moment, the pupils of the Heavenly Dao of the Realm contracted.

He was terrified by Li Yanchu's move.

The divine power that Li Yanchu comprehended, "Slay Me," was extremely domineering.

With a single swing of the axe, the Void Realm Dao Lord was instantly cleaved in two.

A huge gash appeared in the sky, and blood gushed down.
