Chapter 1780 Remains of the Hongjie Realm
Not long after the Daoist Master left, Li Yanchu revealed his true form not far away.

He was only a hundred miles away from Master Yu. His courage and cunning surprised even Gong Feiyan, who was being held in his arms and was seriously injured.

Just now, they concealed themselves in the void and used cause and effect to shield their aura, which actually managed to deceive Lord Yu.

At this moment, Li Yanchu revealed his true form. He threw out a ship, an ancient and majestic divine vessel, on which only the two of them remained.

Gong Feiyan blushed, broke free from Li Yanchu's embrace, and cupped her hands, saying, "Thank you for your help, fellow Daoist."

Li Yanchu nodded and said, "Fellow Daoist Gong's name has been widely known lately."

Gong Feiyan smiled slightly and said, "It's just empty fame. When I came to this foreign land and encountered the Lord of Hongjie, I was no match for him."

Li Yanchu asked curiously, "I heard that you, fellow Daoist, have instigated a rebellion in several realms. Why have you come to the Star Sea to fight against Daoist Master Yu?"

Gong Feiyan said, "I wanted to come to this foreign land to investigate, but I didn't expect to be found by Daoist Yu in the Star Sea. We started fighting over a disagreement. I thought the Hong Realm was an ally, but I didn't expect them to be so ruthless."

Li Yanchu nodded slightly.

As for matters overseas, Li Yanchu did not ask any further questions.

This matter is obviously of great importance, and Gong Feiyan vehemently denied it when facing the Dao Lord, so she might not be willing to tell him even if asked.

Li Yanchu said, "In that case, let's stay together through thick and thin, and part ways here."

Gong Feiyan was slightly taken aback.

She was already struggling with what to say if Li Yanchu asked her about her experiences overseas.
However, Li Yanchu did not mention this matter at all, and Gong Feiyan couldn't help but feel a bit of goodwill towards Li Yanchu.

Li Yanchu moved swiftly and flew away, returning to the alien realm.

Gong Feiyan stared at his figure for a moment, then heard Li Yanchu's voice in her ear: "A single spark can start a prairie fire. I look forward to the day when you burn down the alien realm!"

Li Yanchu's voice disappeared into the sea of ​​stars.

Gong Feiyan stared for a long time before turning her gaze away.

"This person has an extraordinary demeanor. He used the power of a Great Dao Lord to fight against a Dao Lord. His strength, courage, demeanor, and magnanimity are all admirable."

Subsequently, Gong Feiyan also disappeared into the sea of ​​stars aboard this ship.

This trip to another realm left a deep impression on her. The Hong Realm was not a place she could ally with; it was more cruel than the outer realms and more rigid in some matters.

As Gong Feiyan walked, the image of the young Taoist priest would occasionally appear in her mind.

…………

Li Yanchu's current surge in the Dao of Slaughter is all due to the last chaotic battle between several Dao Lords, which caused the mortal realm to collapse and countless people to die.

The calamities from beyond the realm were like oil being poured into a raging fire, and Li Yanchu's cultivation level rose accordingly.

However, it is still not enough to break through to the Dao Lord realm.

Li Yanchu frowned slightly and said, "Perhaps I can seize this opportunity to achieve my goal after I kill a Dao Lord and he repays the karmic debts of the universe."

Originally, the Dao Lord realm was not scary in Li Yanchu's eyes, but now it seems to be getting closer and closer.

"If Gong Feiyan can attain the position of Dao Lord in the vast universe, so can I."

Li Yanchu's resolve grew stronger.

However, Gong Feiyan cultivated from the Great Dao Lord realm to the Dao Master realm for a full 60 million years, a fact that Li Yanchu was unaware of.

Li Yanchu is the youngest Great Dao Monarch in the history of the outer realms. If he can take another step, he will be the youngest Dao Lord in the history of the outer realms!
Nowadays, the mortal realm is constantly at war with each other, and people are dying everywhere.

Li Yanchu comprehended the way of killing and constantly deduced its implications.

Soon, he heard that the foreign lands had mobilized a large army to attack Hongjie, and that their advance was fierce.

"This time, the Dao Lord of the alien realm probably won't hold back anymore," Li Yanchu muttered to himself.

Besides killing the Dao Lord himself, Li Yanchu also wanted to go to a place with a strong aura of killing intent... to get a taste of it.

Li Yanchu grew increasingly audacious in his pursuit of the Dao of Slaughter.

He absolutely must be there for this battle!
Soon, the three Dao Lords led their vast armies from other realms to attack Hongjie. Hongjie resisted, and the battle was earth-shattering.

Li Yanchu was genuinely surprised by this.

There are far too many powerful beings from other realms. The previous battles lasted for hundreds of years, and three or four hundred immortals died, but even so, it did not cause any damage to the strength of those from other realms.

Looking around, Li Yanchu saw immortal Dao Lords wielding their magical treasures, fighting fiercely with experts from the Hong Realm, causing the heavens and earth to collapse in an instant.

This time, they used the Hongjie as their battlefield. Although the Hongjie Great Dao had been revived, it could not withstand such a terrible war.

One after another, powerful figures from the Hong Realm perished in battle.

Perhaps some people from the Hong Realm survived in the vast universe and migrated back, but now the Hong Realm is gradually collapsing, the stars are dying, the sky is shattered, and it is unknown whether any life still exists.

The three Dao Lords arrived with overwhelming force, while the Dao Lord of Hongjie had just been injured.

Although Lord Yu was overseas and did not participate in the previous battle, he was an old wounded soldier and was injured by Li Yanchu. Although the injury was not serious, it still greatly affected his strength.

This battle was extremely fierce, and the sun and moon were obscured. After the battle, the Lord of Hongjie fled and his whereabouts became unknown.

All the powerful figures below the Lord of the Hong Realm perished in battle!
This battle was truly terrifying; the entire Hongjie Universe was shattered.

The path to revival was once again severed. The entire universe was lifeless and devoid of any vitality. All the stars in the sky had perished, and there were no living beings on the planets. Mountains and rivers had dried up, and the sky had become extremely fragile and dilapidated.

It's important to know that the Hongjie is an extremely ancient and large universe.

The fact that this battle could wreck such a large universe in this state is truly a testament to its extreme brutality.

Li Yanchu observed from the sidelines and discovered that the strength of the three Dao Lords far exceeded his expectations.

Originally, Li Yanchu was quite confident that he could fight the three Dao Lords after breaking through to the Dao Lord realm.

But after this battle, he completely gave up on the idea.

The three Dao Lords, as expected of powerful beings who ruled the Great Thousand Universe 130 million years ago, each of them wielded at least a dozen innate spiritual treasures.

"It is said that large universes should have innate spiritual treasures, but I have never seen anyone else use them. Even Dao Lords do not all have one. Sure enough, the problem lies with the three Dao Lords!"

After this battle, not only Li Yanchu, but also the three Dao Masters Kui Gang, Jiang Xi, and Ying, who were observing from the side, were deeply shocked.

The power of a primordial spiritual treasure is extremely formidable.

They had previously believed that the three Dao Lords only possessed one or two items.

Unexpectedly, such a huge change has occurred in 130 million years. Each of them has at least a dozen items!
"If every universe has innate spiritual treasures, then why have none appeared so far? Are they all in the hands of the three Dao Lords?"

Upon realizing this, Li Yanchu's expression turned somewhat unpleasant.

If that's the case, it's terrifying! He fully felt the threat of highly concentrated resources!
Moreover, while Li Yanchu had only refined a portion of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth of the Great Thousand Universes, each of the three Great Dao Masters displayed the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth of at least a hundred universes when they made their move.

And this may not even represent their full strength!

In this battle, Hongjie suffered a crushing defeat.

The entire Hongjie Universe is now like a dilapidated, crumbling building; this place is deserted, and no one dares to come here.
Because the space here is extremely fragile, it could very well be completely annihilated, triggering terrifying changes.

Now, the vast Hongjie is devoid of any living beings; it is deathly still.

However, a Taoist priest in green robes was seen moving among them.

Li Yanchu walked among them, observing the three Dao Masters' moves, and he was also somewhat shocked.

Some traces were left by innate spiritual treasures, while others were left by their own supernatural powers.

"Even without these innate spiritual treasures, their own cultivation level alone would make it difficult to shake them."

Li Yanchu sighed as he walked through the ruins of Hongjie.

The killing energy here is extremely strong, and the killing energy is so abundant that Li Yanchu's breath is filled with it.

His body was almost too small to contain it, and the killing cave behind him was growing larger and larger.

As Li Yanchu traversed these cosmic ruins, he had to be careful to avoid the Killing Cave and some vulnerable spaces to prevent triggering a chain reaction that could lead to his own demise.

He had a vague premonition that the universe could be completely destroyed at any time, and that people in the universe might not be able to escape once that happened.

But there was no way around it; the temptation here was simply too great. In addition to the dense killing energy, there were also traces of the Dao Lord's actions.

This is the best way for Li Yanchu to observe the supernatural abilities of other Dao Lords.

In addition, Li Yanchu, being in the midst of it all, also gained a profound understanding.

"Strange, the calamity of the Hong Realm is so intense. I never noticed the revival of the Great Dao in the Hong Realm before."

The more Li Yanchu cultivated the Tribulation Fortune, the more he felt the mystery of this Great Dao.

Even though he is now the Lord of the Great Dao of Calamity, his understanding of this Great Dao is still only the tip of the iceberg.

Calamities are ever-present in the universe, some are just reaching their breaking point, while others are still far off.

Li Yanchu cultivated here, and his Great Dao of Tribulation was constantly improving.

Therefore, even though the remains of this vast universe were so dangerous, he resolutely stayed.

The Hongjie Universe is on the verge of complete destruction, and the Hongjie Dao Master is seriously injured, so naturally he will not return.

Even powerful figures from other realms knew this place was dangerous, and none dared to venture deep inside.

Therefore, Li Yanchu did not encounter anyone here for a long time.

But suddenly, he heard someone speaking.

Li Yanchu raised an eyebrow and rushed forward, only to find that it was a man and a woman.

The man was tall and slender with a handsome face, while the woman wore a long, slit dress and was alluring and charming.

Li Yanchu didn't recognize either the man or the woman.

At this moment, the two noticed Li Yanchu and turned to look at him.

The man was taken aback at first, then said, "Are you the Lord of the Great Dao of Slaughter?"

Li Yanchu's gaze sharpened slightly, and he calmly said, "This title has long been revoked. May I ask how you should address me, friend?"

The young man smiled and said, "My name is Yu Shu."

The woman smiled and said, "My name is Chen Sui."

Li Yanchu had never heard of these two names before, and her eyes were filled with curiosity.

Yu Shu smiled slightly and said, "This place is about to be destroyed. I wonder what your purpose is in venturing into the ruins?"

As he spoke, his gaze swept over the massive killing cave behind Li Yanchu.

Li Yanchu smiled and said, "An honest man doesn't do things in secret. This place is rich in killing energy, so I came here specifically to collect it."

Yu Shu nodded slightly and said, "I see. Fellow Daoist, please make yourself at home. Although the killing energy here is abundant, the space is extremely fragile and could very well revert to chaos. In that case, no living being will be able to escape. Fellow Daoist, please be careful."

This person is gentle and refined, easygoing and pleasant to behold, and leaves a good impression.

Li Yanchu cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for the reminder, fellow Daoist."

He then avoided the two of them.

Just then, the woman Chen Sui suddenly said, "Fellow Daoist, I see that you don't just want to collect the killing energy, but also want to use this place to break through to the level of the killing Dao Master. If you want to prove your Dao, you must not do it here. Otherwise, firstly, this place is dangerous, and secondly, if you attract evil people to spy on you, you will immediately lose your life."

Li Yanchu was somewhat surprised, wondering why the woman was kindly reminding him.

He had indeed considered seeking enlightenment here, but both the man and the woman said the place was dangerous, and Li Yanchu felt the same way. So he gave up the idea and bowed to the woman, saying, "Thank you, fellow Daoist."

The woman smiled slightly and said, "Fellow Daoist Li is quite easygoing. How come your reputation is so bad in the outer realms?"

Li Yanchu smiled and said, "I have only met Fellow Daoist Chen once. It is too early for you to draw conclusions. Perhaps I am just as rumored."

Chen Sui paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Li is truly witty."

Then, she stopped looking at Li Yanchu and continued to examine the completely shattered universe.

Li Yanchu greeted the two men and then continued deeper into the area.

Having traveled countless miles and witnessed the desolation of the universe, Li Yanchu's two paths of killing and calamity surged, and the Calamity Cave behind him also emerged, causing his cultivation to advance by leaps and bounds.

This could no longer be suppressed. At this moment, the Calamity Cave Abyss was also growing larger and larger, gradually advancing in tandem with the Slaughter Cave Abyss.

The Hongjie Universe was in ruins, and the calamity was extremely intense. Li Yanchu's cultivation level quickly reached a level he had never imagined before.

The man and woman they had encountered earlier were clearly not staying in one place, but were constantly moving.

They met again in the vast universe!

The woman initially paid no attention, but suddenly exclaimed in surprise, "Huh, the Cave of Calamity?"

Li Yanchu sighed inwardly.

After his cultivation of the Dao of Tribulation reached a certain level, the cave behind him continued to grow stronger, especially now that he was absorbing the Dao Qi of Tribulation, which was impossible to suppress.

However, there is one drawback: it's too flamboyant.

Li Yanchu glanced at the woman without showing any emotion.

Chen Sui said, "Fellow Daoist Li was too modest in his previous words. Haven't you already cultivated the calamity?"

Li Yanchu smiled but didn't say anything.

He had no connection with this woman, and there's no need to elaborate on his cultivation methods.

The woman's eyes flickered, hinting at a possible attack.

But Yu Shu, who was standing nearby, coughed lightly and said, "Another fellow Daoist has arrived."

“There are so many audacious people from beyond the borders.”
