Chapter 1776 War Breaks Out
After resolving the Jingjie issue, Li Yanchu led his people to a foreign land.

When he arrived in the foreign land, he found it to be a place of constant warfare, chaos, and desolation.

Looking around, it's even more chaotic than the Black Domain back then.

In the mortal realm, wars and battles raged everywhere, and people died all around.

After Li Yan first arrived in the foreign land, the killing energy surged towards him, and his cultivation level also increased dramatically.

He muttered to himself, "The killing intent of this foreign land is more than ten times stronger."

Before Li Yanchu left, the killing intent in the alien realm was already very strong, and now it is even more astonishing.

He learned that the war between the Hongjie and the alien realm had reached a fever pitch, and that more than two hundred immortals had died in recent years.

The foreign lands are large and prosperous, so there's no problem, but the Hong Realm can't withstand it.

The immortals who revived in the Hongjie were already limited, and now they are almost exhausted.

Li Yanchu nodded slightly, thinking to himself, "With so many people dead, it's no wonder the Dao of slaughter is so intense in the world."

Suddenly, he heard a gentle voice, and saw a beautiful woman walking excitedly towards him.

"My benefactor, I'm so glad to see you again!"

Li Yanchu's face darkened. After many years, he returned to the foreign land, but Daoist Jiang Xi immediately came to him.

Li Yanchu said, "What a benefactor! Is this how you treat your benefactor, chasing me into the Chaotic Star Sea?"

Jiang Xi Daozhu smiled and said, "Since my benefactor is willing to tear off the mask, what else can I say? My benefactor just needs to hand over... um? No, that's not right."

She originally wanted Li Yanchu to hand over Jing Qing's corpse, but before she could finish speaking, she sensed the aura of another Dao Lord on Li Yanchu's body, which was not Jing Qing's.

Jiang Xi Daozhu asked, "Is it that yet another Daozhu died at the hands of your benefactor, or did you just happen to find his body?"

Li Yanchu said, "Guess."

Li Yanchu was somewhat surprised that Daoist Jiang Xi was able to see through the treasures on his body.

He disliked the feeling of being spied on, so he immediately activated the Golden Wheel of Cause and Effect. A golden wheel appeared in the cave within his body, instantly shielding Daoist Jiang Xi from his senses.

Jiang Xi Daozhu sighed: "I also find this kind of behavior of repaying kindness with enmity extremely despicable, but there is no other way. This era does not allow personal feelings to prevail, so... I can only offend them."

As soon as she finished speaking, she raised her hand and reached out to grab Li Yanchu.

The Dao Lord's supernatural powers were extraordinary; with a single move, he condensed the space-time around Li Yanchu, leaving Li Yanchu with no way to avoid it.

However, Li Yanchu immediately swung his sword down, and a stunning blade of light appeared, piercing the sky.

With a single strike, he shattered the divine power of Daoist Jiang Xi!
This strike was truly too sharp. Although Daoist Jiang Xi blocked the attack, after the light passed, two deep ravines appeared behind her, stretching for countless miles.

Jiang Xi Daozhu frowned.
"My benefactor's strength has improved considerably."

Li Yanchu suddenly asked, "You're weaker than when you were chasing me before. Who injured you?"

Jiang Xidao's expression darkened.

Li Yanchu disliked others speculating about her affairs, and as the master of the Great Dao, she disliked it even more.

Jiang Xi Daozhu said coldly, "You don't need to worry about that."

This time, she didn't even call him her benefactor.

She was very wary of Li Yanchu's ability to see through the Dao injuries on her body.

Li Yanchu said, "You are injured and not as strong as you used to be, while my cultivation has greatly increased. With the balance of power shifting, if we continue fighting today, you may die by my hand."

Jiang Xi Dao Master chuckled: "I was indeed injured, but you're still a long way from killing me."

At this moment, she set aside the slight affection she had shown before and raised her hand to blast Li Yanchu. Her great Dao divine power crushed him, and boundless Dao power rolled down.

Li Yanchu activated the Dao-Slaying Divine Power, flipped his palm, took out the Taiyi Divine Axe, and slashed down.

This strike can sever any great path.

Jiang Xi Daozhu's Great Dao had reached the Daozhu realm, but he still couldn't avoid being cleaved in two by Li Yanchu.

Although it didn't harm her fundamentally, it greatly alarmed her.

Just then, Li Yanchu summoned the Golden Wheel of Cause and Effect again.

His karmic connection with Daoist Jiang Xi was extremely heavy, and at this moment, Daoist Jiang Xi also had a karmic connection to Daoist Chen of the Great Luo Heaven.

"So it was injured by Master Chen."

Li Yanchu said, "Back then, you were killed and I saved you, but instead of being grateful, you brought disaster upon me. You are no different from that ungrateful dog, Lord Yingdao."

Upon hearing this, Daoist Jiang Xi said, "It's been a long time, and your tone has become much more arrogant."

Li Yanchu also wanted to fight this foreign Dao Lord to test his current combat strength.

At this moment, he rallied his cultivation, and more than thirty kinds of Great Daos lit up one after another, which greatly surprised Dao Master Jiang Xi.

Li Yanchu had reached the level of a Great Dao Lord in every Dao, which was equivalent to more than thirty Great Dao Lords attacking at the same time.

Li Yanchu's magical power became incredibly strong, and the Taiyi Divine Axe moved even faster under his command, directly slashing towards Daoist Jiang Xi's body.

He directly targeted the injuries inside Jiang Xidao's body.

Jiang Xidao Master's heart sank.

Li Yanchu is no longer just able to parry as before; he can now fight back, and if he's not careful, he might even be caught off guard and lose.

Worried about the Dao injury on her body, she suddenly withdrew in the next moment, instead of confronting Li Yanchu head-on.

Li Yanchu's axe strike carved out a deep ravine spanning hundreds of thousands of miles, possessing the imposing force of splitting open the mortal realm of another world.

He put away his axe, looked at the fleeing Dao Lord Jiang Xi, shook his head, and said, "No wonder he was killed back then. He was so cowardly that he ran away even when facing a Great Dao Lord. He was simply unworthy of the title of Dao Lord."

Li Yanchu shook his head, put away the Taiyi Divine Axe, and did not pursue Jiang Xi Daozhu.

Whether he can defeat his opponent remains to be seen.

Jiang Xi Daozhu was concerned about her injuries, which is why she did not intend to fight Li Yanchu to the death.

At this moment, within the Chaos Cave Abyss, the powerful figures such as the Immortal of the Realm of Scenery erupted in cheers upon witnessing this scene.

Cuihua was overjoyed and said excitedly, "This woman should have been killed long ago. Today we finally drove her back and got some satisfaction."

Fang Qinglan said coldly, "This man repays kindness with enmity, coveting the treasure; he deserves to die!"

The crowd chimed in with their own words, mocking Daoist Jiang Xi, while they were happy for Li Yanchu's progress.

Li Yanchu had a general understanding of his cultivation progress. After mastering so many Great Daos, he could barely contend with the Dao Lord. At least he no longer had to be able to fight back a few times and then desperately run away like before.

Moreover, after his duel with Daoist Jiang Xi, Li Yanchu sensed some flaws and shortcomings in his cultivation technique, which he quickly corrected, and his Dao of Slaughter became even more intense.

"The killing energy from beyond the realm is so intense; it's a calamity for everyone, but for me, it might be an incredible opportunity." He was overjoyed.

Besides the increasingly intense conflict between the alien realm and the Hong Realm, he also learned an extremely important piece of news.

Someone in the vast universe has rebelled.

This person is named Gong Feiyan, and she comes from the Yuan Realm.

The Yuan Realm is also a large universe, and Li Yanchu once went there to refine the Dao of Slaughter.

In such a vast universe, there must be extraordinary beings born, and Gong Feiyan was born to meet this calamity.

She possessed extraordinary talent, starting her cultivation with Tai Chi and progressing all the way to the Limitless Dao.

He quietly cultivated to the level of a Great Dao Lord, roamed freely in the alien Black Domain, and later brought back the alien domain's unique skills, attracting a large number of people.

Now, leading the rebellion, they have actually caused the Yuan Realm and the otherworld to lose contact.

She led the Wuji Dao Sect into one mountain gate after another, smashing, looting, and burning.

Those who submitted were spared, while those who refused were executed. Like a spark thrown into an explosive barrel, it quickly swept across the entire primordial realm.

The foreign realm sent a Great Dao Lord to suppress it; the Great Dao Lord of Life and Death led his forces there.

However, unexpectedly, in the duel with Gong Feiyan, the Lord of Life and Death was killed, and Gong Feiyan only used one move!
Everyone was shocked!

After this news spread, some people speculated that Gong Feiyan had reached the Dao Lord realm, while others speculated that Gong Feiyan was a remnant supported by the Hong Realm and must have received guidance from a master, otherwise it would have been impossible for her cultivation to advance so quickly.

The Metaverse has now lost contact with the Otherworld, and this large universe has been separated from the Otherworld's subordinate sequence.

During this period, the conflict between the alien realm and the Hong Realm was fierce, and it was impossible for the three Dao Lords to personally suppress her.

Moreover, Gong Feiyan may already be a Dao Master.

Although they cannot compare to the Dao Lords of other realms, ordinary powerful beings from other realms would definitely not return if they went there.

The foreign land initially turned a blind eye to her behavior, intending to deal with it later.
Unexpectedly, Gong Feiyan managed to persuade two more large universes to break free from the control of the alien realm, and she launched a large-scale rebellion against the alien realm.

The reputation of the Wuji Dao Sect is now ridiculously high.

After hearing this news, Li Yanchu was somewhat impressed. This person was truly a genius of rebellion, having swept across three large universes in such a short time.

Li Yanchu muttered to himself, "The alien realm is truly plagued by disasters these days. It's as if such a powerful expert has emerged in the vast universe to resist them."

Li Yanchu stayed in the outer realms for a while, and soon heard that another universe had rebelled.

The Heavenly Emperor of the Hidden Universe had always presented himself as a Dao Lord, but unexpectedly, he was also a Dao Master.

Despite Gong Feiyan's fierce outburst, she was not suppressed by the foreign Dao Lord, who was too preoccupied with his own problems.

Unable to contain himself any longer, this hidden Heavenly Emperor raised his banner and rebelled.

He sealed off the Hidden Realm, killed the envoys from other realms, eliminated dissidents, and quickly gained control of the Hidden Realm. Now, the whereabouts of the Hidden Realm are unknown.

Li Yanchu's return to this foreign land was an eye-opening experience.

Not only are the waters of other realms deep, but the waters of the vast universe are just as deep!
"That's right. In the vast universe, there can't possibly be only Dao Lords, let alone Dao Sovereigns."

The Void Realm is only a part of the Realm of Scenery, yet it has already produced a Dao Lord. Although the other large universes have been suppressed for many years, the universes are so vast that extraordinary talents are bound to be born.

Currently, only Gong Feiyan and the Hidden Heavenly Emperor have emerged, but in reality, it is unknown how many powerful figures there are.

Someone rebelled, and Li Yanchu was happy to see it happen.

He is quite pleased to see who is destroyed in the war between the alien realm and the Hong Realm.

He has irreconcilable conflicts with the otherworld, and the same is true for the Hongjie.

Moreover, it seems that the conflicts within the Hongjie are going to deepen even further.

Li Yanchu didn't want to get involved; he only wanted to see the two tigers fight, preferably to the point of mutual destruction.

The changes in this foreign land have surprised and delighted Li Yanchu, and he has decided to wait and see.

Under his guidance, Fang Youqing's cultivation of the Great Dao progressed by leaps and bounds, but she had not yet comprehended the Taiyi Xunzheng that Li Yanchu cultivated.

She and Nuwa successively attained the position of the Great Dao Lord.

In the Chaos Cave Abyss, there are ten immortal beings in the realm of Jingjie who have attained the Dao Lord status.

After being guided by Li Yanchu, their cultivation level increased dramatically. Just as they were about to attain enlightenment, Li Yanchu took them to the Chaotic Star Sea and attempted to temporarily avoid the calamity of the alien realm by imprinting the methods on the Star Sea there.

The outbreak of war was a great thing for Jingjie, and everyone's desire for revenge grew stronger.

Now Li Yanchu felt a sense of urgency. He originally thought that his talent was already abnormal enough, but he never expected that there were really hidden talents in the vast universe.

Of course, it could also be related to the current era.

As the foreign lands flourished with calamities, Li Yanchu's path of calamity also advanced by leaps and bounds.

.........

On this day, while Li Yanchu was cultivating, he suddenly felt a prying gaze. He had an idea and immediately used his divine blade to slash at it!

The void was shattered, and a tall figure appeared, followed by three Daoists: Taiqing, Yuqing, and Tongtian.

The Master of Kui Gang smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Li, it's been a long time."

Li Yanchu smiled and said, "It's been a long time."

He then greeted the three Taoist priests of Taiqing.

The Lord of Kui Gang said, "Now that war is raging in foreign lands, it is the time when heroes are needed. Would you be willing to be that hero with me?"

Li Yanchu said, "I don't understand what the Daoist Master means."

The Lord of Kui Gang said, "The foreign lands have suffered under the three Great Dao Lords for too long. Join forces with me to overthrow the three Great Dao Lords, then suppress the rebellious army and annihilate the Hong Realm. Isn't this the act of a hero?"

Li Yanchu shook his head and refused: "I am a Jingjie person, not an alien. This matter has nothing to do with me."

Kui Gang Dao Master frowned slightly: "You were the number one Dao Lord in the foreign realm, and you also went on a killing spree when fighting against the Hong Realm, with outstanding military achievements. Now you're telling me that you don't acknowledge the identity of the Holy Race?"

Li Yanchu sighed, "Even if I wanted to acknowledge it, no one would recognize it now."

Kui Gang Dao Master said, "That's because Dao Master Shi is blind. If I were the one sitting high in the Great Luo Heaven, I would give you all the resources and teach you Dao Master-level techniques so that you can become a Dao Master. If you follow me to do something great, I guarantee that I will be lenient towards the Jing Realm in the future and will never have any conflict with the Jing Realm."

Li Yanchu raised an eyebrow and looked at Taiqing and the other two. Were they also lured in by this offer?

Li Yanchu hesitated for a moment and said, "I'm sorry, but I'd rather not. I don't like to put my hopes on others; I'd rather do it myself."

The Master of Kui Gang frowned slightly and said in a deep voice, "Fellow Daoist Li, aren't you being a bit too stubborn? Are you really unwilling to join forces with me?"

His gaze toward Li Yanchu was tinged with coldness.
