Chapter 1819 Resource Monopoly
Master Chen has been searching for Li Yanchu's whereabouts.

Since Li Yanchu was in the Great Wilderness, he shouldn't have escaped his notice.

However, the vast wilderness was filled with sharp fragments of spacetime, which slowed down his search.

Li Yanchu originally intended to ambush Master Chen in the Great Wilderness, but Master Chen's previous attack made him change his mind, and he ultimately decided to abandon the ambush.

The Vajra Bracelet has not yet been successfully refined; there is no need to take the risk at this time.

"The stronger the Dao of Slaughter, the more advantageous it is for me." A thoughtful look appeared in Li Yanchu's eyes.

Now, the three Dao Lords have revived a large number of Dao Lords from other realms.

Moreover, many powerful beings from the vast universe have entered other realms to prove their Dao and solidify the Great Dao of the other realms.

But all of this was in vain. The calamity from the foreign land was growing stronger and stronger, and it was already showing signs of erupting uncontrollably.

When the fighting and bloodshed begin, it will also be the time when Li Yanchu's cultivation is at its strongest.

Even if Li Yanchu's innate spiritual treasure failed to be successfully refined at that time, it would still allow him to advance to the next level of cultivation.

"Last time, the population of the alien realm decreased by 70%, but the seal was not completely eliminated. This shows that the calamity cannot be eliminated by this method."

Li Yanchu is the Dao Master who has attained enlightenment through cause and effect, and he knows that the Sea of ​​Cause and Effect beyond the realm is infinitely vast.

This is the karmic accumulation of countless years of foreign invasions and evil deeds throughout the universe; it is the end of cause and effect.
Therefore, this calamity was bound to erupt and could not be avoided.

Master Chen searched for Li Yanchu's whereabouts in the Great Wilderness, but Li Yanchu had already led his people away based on his knowledge of the Great Wilderness.

At this moment, Daoist Li Ning and Daoist Hui Feng were searching for the whereabouts of Li Yuan Chu and the Great Heavenly Venerable.

His divine sense, incredibly powerful, traversed countless immortal mountains, searching both the mortal realm and the heavens, yet he could find no trace of Li Yanchu.

A year has passed in this way.

On this day, they suddenly saw a burst of brilliant light erupting from the sky.

Before Daoist Li Ning could react, he noticed more than ten figures coldly staring at them.

Dao Master Li Ning was immediately flustered. The leader was a young man with icy eyes.
“By assisting the three Dao Lords, you have already committed a death sentence.”

Daoist Master Li Ning hurriedly said, "Brother Li, I am willing to pledge my allegiance and submit!"

Li Yanchu said, "What use is a treacherous and fickle person like you to me?"

Li Yanchu waved his hand and shouted, "Kill!"

More than ten Dao Lords rushed forward, and soon Dao Lord Li Ning and Dao Lord Hui Feng were killed.

Each of them possessed a primordial spiritual treasure, but before they could unleash its power, Li Yanchu severed the connection with it using his Dao-Slaying Divine Blade and seized it.

After losing his innate spiritual treasure, in terms of pure strength, Daoist Li Ning was no match for experts like Jun Wushuang Tianyang, and was quickly killed.

Next, Li Yanchu began to purge the allies of the three Dao Masters in various places and eliminate their influence.

……

In the Great Luo Heaven, Master Chen had already returned.

Those Dao Lords who were resurrected by them have either died or disappeared in the past year or so.

They revived more than twenty Dao Lords who were scattered throughout the alien realm, searching for Li Yanchu and Dajiechu's whereabouts like a net covering the sky. However, these people have now all disappeared without a trace, and the more than twenty innate spiritual treasures have also vanished without a trace.

Even with Chen Daozhu's intervention, they were unable to find any trace of them.

He knew that someone had used the Great Dao of Cause and Effect to conceal their tracks, so he came to find the Master of the Dao.

The Peach Tree of Guandao Master connects to all directions of the outer universe, and Master Chen wants to join forces with him.

After searching for a long time, the Daoist Master shook his head and said, "The people who killed them have great magical power and supernatural abilities, no less than you or me. I can't find their traces, let alone trace the origin of the murderer."

Master Chen said, "In that case, it must have been done by the Great Celestial Venerable. Li Yanchu does not have that ability."

The Daoist Master shook his head and said, "That's not right. Li Yanchu was able to kill Jing Qing. You can't judge him with your old eyes."

Master Chen was taken aback, and sighed, "He has been cultivating for too short a time, so I have always looked down on him. That's right, if he did it, it makes sense."

The Dao Master said, "People are in a state of panic. Both the old and new Holy Races believe that the three of us have mismanaged the situation. In addition, rebellions are frequent in the Great Thousand Universe, and calamities are about to erupt at any moment. This is not a good sign."

Master Chen said, "Only by killing the person who committed the crime in secret can we put the people at ease. This matter requires you to join hands with me."

The Master of Guandao said, "Aren't we going to invite Master Shi?"

Master Chen said, "Master Shi is quite fond of Li Yanchu, and I'm afraid he won't be able to bring himself to kill him in this matter."

The Daoist Master shook his head and said, "Daoist Master Shi may admire him to some extent, but it's impossible for him to say that he couldn't bring himself to kill Li Yanchu."

"You suspect that the murderer is Fellow Daoist Shi?"

Master Chen was very polite to Master Guan, but upon hearing this, he said seriously, "That's right, I do have this concern. It's not just the Great Celestial Venerable and Li Yanchu who can kill our Dao Masters, but Master Shi can too."

The leader of the Guandao sect asked, "Fellow Daoist Chen, do you not suspect me?"

Master Chen smiled and said, "Brother Dao's peach tree pierces through the void of the universe, and he has been mending and patching things up for the foreign land all these years. I have seen all the hard work he has done. How could it be your doing?"

The Daoist Master, with a solemn expression, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for your understanding, fellow Daoist."

Master Chen also cupped his hands and said, "No matter who did this, I will settle this matter and prevent the alien realm from descending into chaos."

After Chen Daozhu left, he continued to search for Li Yanchu's whereabouts outside the realm.

However, Li Yanchu and his gang were elusive, disappearing without a trace after committing major crimes. Moreover, their methods were extremely cruel, often vanishing immediately after killing the Immortals, Dao Lords, and Great Dao Lords of the Great Luo Heaven.

With their strength, dealing with the immortals of the Great Luo Heaven would be a piece of cake.

Even the immortals of the Great Luo Heaven dare not easily descend to the mortal realm; they have all closed their mountain gates and sought refuge in the Great Luo Heaven.
Therefore, the outer realms are now somewhat desolate, and many members of the New Holy Race have begun to feel regret.

Because any of the new holy races that commit heinous crimes and wreak havoc on their home universe will be killed.

Some were struck by lightning, some were burned to death, some had their heads chopped off, and some were suddenly killed by a sword flash while chatting and laughing with others.

Gradually, terrifying legends began to circulate beyond the borders.
Some say that the old Holy Clan is carrying out a shocking conspiracy against the new Holy Clan, including a massacre and a purge.

It's hard not to suspect that those who die are often the new Holy Race, especially those who have just joined the alien realm and ruthlessly killed their home universe. These people often become famous very quickly, but so far, many have died or been injured and none of them have had a good ending.

All the temples in the Great Luo Heaven have closed their gates in the layers of heaven. Not to mention the mortal world, which was already full of strife, people are now even more panicked.

Whenever Master Chen saw this situation, he felt heartbroken.

They need a peaceful foreign land. If everyone closes their gates and dares not come out, they will neither be able to quell the calamity nor restore their former glory, which is truly infuriating.

After much deliberation, since he couldn't find Li Yanchu and the others, he went to the place where Li Yanchu had suppressed Jing Qing.

Although those two sword marks were unparalleled, it wouldn't be difficult for Master Chen to break through them.

He unleashed over a hundred innate spiritual treasures, bombarding the area all at once. As two sword wounds were broken open, a human figure revived, and Jing Qing's figure reappeared.

The burly old Saint Clan member said, "Chen Yu? How could it be you?" Master Chen replied directly, "Fellow Daoist, are you content with being injured by Li Yanchu?"

Jing Qing's expression hardened, and he said resentfully, "Of course I'm not willing to accept this!"

Master Chen said, "This boy is a wolf in sheep's clothing. He wants to overthrow the rule of my Holy Domain and even wants to wipe my Holy Domain out of the Great Thousand Universe. I also want to kill him!"

Jing Qing frowned slightly.

Although he viewed the world as a pawn, manipulating it at will, he did not want the Holy Land to be completely destroyed; this was his bottom line.

He can break this place, but he must do it himself, not a cultivator from a lower realm.

Jing Qingqi asked, "You rescued me and then told me this, do you want to join forces with me?"

Master Chen said, "I do have that intention, but if you insist on going your own way and continue to act recklessly, allowing Li Yanchu to succeed, there is nothing I can do."

Jing Qing sneered, "If that's what you're saying, then I'll deliberately not deal with Li Yanchu, but kill you first."

Master Chen said, "Brother Jingqing, if it were 130 million years ago, you could have killed me if you wanted, but not now. The Holy Domain is on the verge of collapse. Do you really want Li Yanchu, an outsider, to swagger around here?"

Upon hearing Chen Daozhu's words, Jing Qing frowned, his expression becoming somewhat complicated.

Master Chen said, “Li Yanchu has already mastered the Nine Paths of the Innate Realm. If you want to break his supernatural powers, I have a Void Flower here that can even trap his Dao-Slaying Divine Blade. You don’t need to worry.”

After saying that, he handed a Void Flower to Jing Qing. It was an innate spiritual treasure, and a rare one at that, a spiritual treasure of the Void Dao.

Jing Qing was also somewhat surprised after taking it.
"You would be so kind?"

Master Chen said, "Kill him first, then we can fight amongst ourselves behind closed doors. I don't want to see an outsider acting so arrogantly here."

These words touched on Jing Qing's thoughts, and Jing Qing nodded and said, "Alright, let's kill this outsider first, and then have a showdown behind closed doors."

Jing Qing's eyes also flashed with a fierce light.

He was deeply resentful that he had been killed by Li Yanchu in the last incident.

If it weren't for Master Chen rescuing him, he would probably have been continuously suppressed by those two sword marks until his life force was extinguished and there was no possibility of revival.

Jing Qing said, "His Dao-Slaying Divine Blade doesn't just come from that blade, but from the Great Dao he cultivates. I'll go find him now, and when I call you, will you come?"

Master Chen replied solemnly, "Of course."

Then, Master Chen flicked his finger, and a stream of light wrapped around Jing Qing's fingertip. Master Chen said, "If you find him, call me. I will come to that battle."

Jing Qing nodded slightly and asked, "What about the other two Dao Lords? What do they mean?"

Master Chen said, "They naturally want to kill this outsider as well, but it's enough for you and me to kill him together."

In reality, Master Chen believed that he could kill Li Yanchu on his own. His attempt to win over Jing Qing was merely to find Li Yanchu as soon as possible with Jing Qing's help, so that the Holy Domain could not be allowed to descend into chaos.

The two reached an agreement.

However, Lord Chen was wary of Jing Qing, a treacherous, untrustworthy, and manipulative man, and he did not place all his hopes on him.

He simply wanted more people to serve him; otherwise, he wouldn't have given away the precious Void Flower.

Master Chen muttered to himself, "Li Yanchu, I'd like to see how long you can remain arrogant."

Many of the Dao Lords who were killed back then had their life force extinguished by innate spiritual treasures, leaving them with no possibility of resurrection.

Only a portion was left behind by the three Dao Lords, like stored rations, to be used when needed.

Li Yanchu's actions did indeed expose some of their past misdeeds.

"We painstakingly stored up grain, and you took a batch and ruined it all. You're simply inhuman!"

Now, the Lord of the Otherworld has no one he can use and can only revive Jing Qing.

From any perspective, Master Chen had every reason to kill Li Yanchu.

…………

However, not long after Chen Daozhu and Jing Qing parted ways, while he was searching for the alien realm, the surrounding clouds suddenly surged.

Master Chen reacted quickly and immediately sensed something was wrong, shouting sternly, "Who goes there? Show yourself!"

Immediately, more than ten figures appeared around them, which were the ancient Dao Lords led by Li Yanchu.

Li Yanchu waved his hand and shouted, "Kill!"

These dozen or so Dao Lords immediately unleashed their innate spiritual treasures and simultaneously blasted them towards Dao Lord Chen.

Master Chen laughed in anger: "Fine, I didn't go looking for you, yet you came to my door."

What's most infuriating is that Li Yanchu equipped all his Dao Lord subordinates with innate spiritual treasures.

Several of these innate spiritual treasures were distributed by Master Chen to his subordinate Dao Masters.

New and old grudges surged into Chen Daozhu's heart in an instant. He moved like the wind to fight against the dozen or so Daozhu.

Behind him appeared a vision of the vast universe, which he used as a connection to unleash immense power.

These dozen or so magical treasures could not cause him any real harm. His magical power was so strong that it greatly surprised even a Dao Lord like Jun Wushuang.

Back then, they were all stronger than the three major Daoists, but unexpectedly, after more than 130 million years, the gap between them has become so large.

This is practically the difference between a toddler and a strong man.

Even without using any innate spiritual treasures, Chen Daozhu alone, with his immense Dao power, would be no match for them.

At this moment, more than ten of them coughed up blood. Two of them were seized by Master Chen and killed instantly, obliterating their Dao in an instant, leaving them with no possibility of resurrection.

Jun Wushuang and the others were shocked.

Master Chen's ferocity was terrifying.

However, they also understood that as long as the three Dao Lords remained in the foreign realm, they would have no chance to turn the tide unless they were eliminated. Therefore, everyone was now risking their lives to push their innate spiritual treasures to the limit and surged their cultivation to kill.

Each of them had refined the Dao power of dozens of universes, with the most having refined only seventy or eighty, a far cry from Master Chen.

Even if one possesses an innate spiritual treasure, it is still far from sufficient at this moment.

However, at this moment, the dozen or so people forming a large formation were able to barely hold on.

But the next moment, Master Chen's expression turned cold.
"You think you can compete with me in terms of the number of magical treasures? You poor wretches!"

At this moment, Master Chen no longer suppressed his aura; his powerful Dao energy was more than enough to support him in activating all the spiritual treasures in his hands.

In an instant, he summoned over two hundred innate spiritual treasures in his hands, and in a flash, an overwhelming surge of Dao power erupted.

Jun Wushuang and the others' expressions changed drastically, their hearts skipping a beat.
Finished!

Although it was known that Master Chen had many innate spiritual treasures, I did not expect that he had more than two hundred of them. This was after Li Yanchu had openly and secretly taken more than twenty of them.

Resource monopoly to this extent is suffocating; how can there be any chance of winning?
