Chapter 1836 Calamity Erupts
The leader of the Guandao sect rushed to the battlefield.

At this moment, the Great Celestial Venerable was traveling through various foreign lands in his Dao body, wreaking havoc, and he had no choice but to intervene.

When the Great Celestial Venerable took action to annihilate the alien realm, countless spiritual treasures were thrown down from the sky, instantly shattering his Dao body.

The three Dao Masters were incredibly powerful, and even the Great Celestial Venerable's Dao Body couldn't withstand them. Soon, the Great Celestial Venerable's Dao Body was completely killed!

The Stone Dao Master and the Guan Dao Master stopped the Great Heavenly Venerable.

The two stood guard, their gazes icy.

The leader of the Guandao sect said coldly, "Old thief, I let you escape by chance last time, but instead of staying put and barely surviving, you dare to come out and stir up trouble again!"

The Great Celestial Venerable glanced at the Dao Master, his face cold and his eyes filled with killing intent, and then said in a chilling tone, "You need to repay the karma of heaven and earth."

The Daoist Master said, "The cause and effect of heaven and earth? This world is ruled by me. Do I need you to tell me whether I should repay it?"

The Great Celestial Venerable immediately activated the Nine Paths of the Primordial Chaos, transforming them into an unparalleled longsword, which he thrust towards the Dao Master!
Having lost his innate spiritual treasure, the Dao Master mobilized the power of the entire universe to attack the Great Celestial Venerable.

In an instant, thousands of rays of light burst forth, resembling a dance of fish and dragons!

However, the Great Celestial Venerable's sword light pierced directly through his palm, and then pressed down on his shoulder.

With a soft thud, the sword pierced through the bone, cutting through the shoulder of the Daoist Master, and blood instantly stained his clothes!
The Dao Master was somewhat moved by what he saw, and blood began to flow from the vast universe behind him.

He was forced to retreat by the Great Celestial Venerable's sword strike until the Stone Dao Master intervened, unleashing the innate spiritual treasure, the Void Heaven Halberd, which forced the Great Celestial Venerable to withdraw his sword and retreat.

At this moment, in addition to the blood flowing from the wound of the Dao Master, endless light also emanated from it.

The master of Guandao said, "Be careful, his Nine Paths of Evidence are extremely powerful."

Master Shi said, "If one or two of them can cultivate to the ninth level of the Proof-Cultivation Realm, I don't believe this technique is really that dangerous."

Master Shi was furious.

The Great Celestial Venerable was once their defeated opponent, and now his cultivation has naturally improved, but the Stone Dao Master also has powerful methods that he has not yet used.

He immediately activated the Void Heaven Halberd and slashed upwards, the halberd cutting through the void and creating a crack.

The Great Celestial Venerable swung his sword to meet the attack. The sword light clashed with the halberd, and the Stone Daoist immediately felt an unparalleled killing intent erupt within his body.

He immediately stepped back several steps, each step causing the ground to shake.

"The power of this sword strike is truly astounding!" Master Shi exclaimed in shock.

The reappearance of the Great Celestial Venerable in this foreign land is truly astonishing.

At this moment, Master Shi remained silent, obediently activating his innate spiritual treasure and taking out the Hunxing Gate to lend to Master Guandao.

The Dao Master activated the Chaotic Star Gate. This wooden gate, over ten feet tall and square, resembled a sword sheath.
Countless stellar powers transformed into sharp sword energy that surged forth, attacking the Great Celestial Venerable.

The two Dao Lords joined forces to fight against the Great Celestial Venerable, but the Great Celestial Venerable's combat power was unparalleled, and his Nine Dao Certifications were extraordinary. He kept forcing the two back, and the continent of the alien realm was shattered. This time, the momentum was extremely great.

The Great Celestial Venerable roared, "The entire alien realm needs to repay its karmic debts! Kill! Kill! Kill!"

As soon as he finished speaking, boundless Dao power was unleashed, and sword energy raged across the land, slaying countless lives and leaving them covered in blood.

The three Dao Lords once considered using the alien population to delay the calamity, but later discovered that this method was ineffective because the Sea of ​​Cause and Effect existed, and the karmic calamities in the alien realm would only increase.

Furthermore, even if the population is consumed to temporarily suppress the calamity, it cannot fundamentally damage the situation.

Seeing the Great Celestial Venerable unleash a massacre, the two immediately joined forces to meet him.

The two exchanged a glance, both somewhat wary.

If all the billions of beings in the entire alien realm were wiped out by the Great Celestial Venerable, they would completely exit the stage of history and cease to be the core of the vast universe.

At this moment, the two joined forces to resist, but the Great Celestial Venerable's sword energy swept across the land, suppressing them for a time.

However, killing these two Dao Lords was not easy. The Dao power of the three Dao Lords' Great Thousand Universes was too strong, and for a time the three fought to a standstill.

Suddenly, the Dao Master realized and said, "Be careful, he has been controlled by the Calamity of Slaughter and is acting as the executor of this great calamity!"

He realized something was wrong; the Great Celestial Venerable's current state was very strange, unlike the Great Celestial Venerables they had previously encountered.

The Daoist Master Guan finally realized what was happening, and the Daoist Master Shi was also very wary upon hearing this.

The Great Celestial Venerable coldly said, "You have committed countless evils and your crimes are heinous. You deserve to be exterminated. Do I need to be affected by the calamity of death to kill you? What a joke!"

He then slashed with his sword, forcing the two men back, each with bloodstains appearing on their bodies.

The Great Celestial Venerable's sword aura looked extremely terrifying.

The causal sea in the alien realm became extremely chaotic and turbulent, and the great principles of heaven and earth began to twist and collapse in many places.

Many extraordinary individuals experienced a continuous decline in their cultivation levels; some even transformed directly from the eighth level of the Dao realm back into ordinary mortals. This change initially occurred as a small-scale, accidental event.

But later, more and more of them began to fall from their realms, and even immortals began to fall from their realms!
Not only that, but when one of the immortals opened his mouth to speak, black smoke suddenly billowed out of it.

His expression seemed to be a smile. After exhaling the black smoke, the Great Dao within his body suddenly ignited, and raging flames rose from the cave within his body, burning everything in their path. He died quickly.

The powerful cultivators around him were all experiencing the same thing: strange black smoke billowed out of their mouths, followed by raging flames.

One cultivator after another died, and the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth in the entire alien realm began to become extremely fragile.

During the fierce battle, the Master of Guandao and the Master of Shidao sensed that something was wrong.

The Daoist Master exclaimed, "Oh no! He's triggered a calamity!"

The calamity in the foreign land was postponed many times, but instead of being completely eliminated, it intensified due to the excessive suppression.

If this calamity were to strike, neither of them had the confidence to survive it.

The three Dao Masters might be able to manage if they joined forces, but now Dao Master Chen is suppressed in the cave by Li Yanchu, his fate uncertain, and they can't offer much help.

Facing such a formidable enemy as the Great Celestial Venerable, the two of them immediately sensed something was amiss.

However, the Great Celestial Venerable disregarded everything and activated the long sword in his hand, encircling them all. For a time, the two Dao Lords were unable to leave.

The Great Celestial Venerable's state at this moment was indeed very strange. He repeatedly said, "I will make you repay the karma of heaven and earth! Repay the karma of heaven and earth!"

He looks like he's lost his true self, as if he's truly controlled by the murderous intent.

Both Master Shi and Master Chen possessed formidable cultivation, and despite activating their ancient god bodies, they were unable to break free for the time being.

The Great Celestial Venerable, controlled by the Killing Calamity, experienced a surge in cultivation, his Dao power becoming so formidable that it was no less than that of the two of them.

The two men found it difficult to deal with him for the time being.

The Stone Dao Master withstood considerable pressure, continuously unleashing innate spiritual treasures in his hands in an attempt to suppress the Great Celestial Venerable.

The Great Celestial Venerable's sword light was sharp, piercing these cosmic spiritual roots, creating a stalemate for a moment.

At this moment, the void of the otherworld began to shatter, and large swathes of space collapsed.

The sun, moon, and stars dimmed, and the planets were rapidly pulled apart, as if a terrifying vortex was swallowing everything.

The Daoist Master's heart sank: "This is bad! The calamity is about to erupt completely!"

Although the two of them have not yet been affected, once the calamity in the otherworld erupts, they will probably find it difficult to escape.

In order to break the calamity in the foreign land, they came up with many ideas, not only for the sake of the people in the foreign land, but also for their own protection!
But at this moment, the calamity erupted, large swathes of space in the alien realm collapsed, all living beings perished, and the territory of the alien realm shrank continuously, soon leaving only two or three tenths.

Whether they were new or old Saint Clan members, or newly ascended geniuses from the Great Thousand Universe who had not yet established themselves, they were all in a panic and rushed towards the distance and into the sea of ​​stars!

But even if they rush into the sea of ​​stars, they will quickly turn to ashes once caught up by the calamity, unable to escape.

Dead people were everywhere; the scene was horrifying.

At this moment, Li Yanchu, who was in the realm of scenery, sensed the changes in the alien world and was suddenly awakened from his state of deducing the Great Dao.

A light shone in Li Yanchu's eyes.

"Has it started yet?"

He originally intended to accelerate the calamity in the otherworld, and for this he was willing to hold back Master Shi and Master Guandao.

They didn't kill Master Chen, fearing that the calamity would be delayed and the Jing Realm would be stranded in a foreign land, which would have an impact.

However, before he could make a move, a calamity suddenly broke out in the alien realm, catching Li Yan off guard.

At this moment, the women all came to Li Yanchu's side. They looked into the distance at the alien land and were shocked by the sight of the collapsing world.

Fang Youqing exclaimed in horror, "Is this the outbreak of calamity? The Great Calamity of Annihilation has begun!"

A raging fire began to burn, and the alien land was filled with scenes of apocalypse.

Countless cultivators were annihilated by the Great Calamity of Annihilation and could not escape.

One by one, the figures perished as they fled into the sea of ​​stars.

The three, Guan Daozhu, Shi Daozhu, and Da Tianzun, continued their fierce battle.

At this moment, Li Yanchu looked at the people around him. Some of them had also attained enlightenment in other realms. Li Yanchu was worried that they had been tainted by the calamity and had not been completely eliminated.

At this moment, he activated his Heavenly Eye, which opened and allowed him to perceive the vast universe.

He examined them carefully for a long time and was relieved to find that the karma on everyone's bodies had been completely burned away.

Li Yanchu said to everyone, "None of you should go anywhere in the Jing Realm. This great calamity of annihilation has begun, and I must go there personally."

Fang Youqing said, "Now that the great calamity of annihilation has begun, wouldn't you be aggravating your own calamity by going there?"

Li Yanchu said, "If I truly have an unresolved calamity with the other realms, simply hiding in the Jing Realm is not enough to avoid it."

Fang Youqing said, "We will go with you."

Li Yanchu said firmly, "Your going will only distract me. Stay in Jingjie and protect all living beings. I'll be right back."

After saying that, Li Yanchu transformed into a golden light and leaped away, disappearing without a trace in an instant.

…………

When Li Yan first arrived in the alien realm, the calamity there had already erupted violently, with the Annihilation Heavenly Fire burning incessantly.

When Li Yan first completed the Nine Paths of Proof and arrived in the foreign land...

Upon realizing that the great calamity within him was about to be triggered, he immediately activated the Nine Paths of Proof, and then broke free from this cataclysmic calamity.

"Cultivating the Nine Paths of Evidence can avert this great calamity."

Li Yanchu muttered to himself.

He then noticed the three, Master Shi, Master Guandao, and Great Heavenly Venerable, who were engaged in a fierce battle.

Li Yanchu was somewhat impressed by the Great Celestial Venerable's offensive techniques.

"His nine paths of evidence are completely different from mine, yet they connect perfectly, creating a unified and powerful aura!"

To truly achieve a unified whole, with no difference between the nine paths, is something the Great Celestial Venerable cannot yet accomplish. He has only just begun to show signs of this, yet it is already awe-inspiring.

But after looking at it for a while, Li Yanchu suddenly felt something was wrong.

It's not that the Great Celestial Venerable's technique is flawed, but rather it's the Great Celestial Venerable's condition.

Li Yanchu, who had also experienced this, said with emotion, "The Great Celestial Venerable was controlled by the Calamity of Slaughter!"

The Great Celestial Venerable was filled with murderous intent. He noticed Li Yanchu and said coldly, "You barbarian also need to repay the karma of heaven and earth!"

He then raised his hand and slashed at Li Yanchu with his sword. The sword light was extremely sharp and pierced through the void.

Li Yanchu also realized the mystery of his sword strike, but he was unwilling to fight at this moment.

He moved swiftly and disappeared into the distance.

But who would have thought that the Great Celestial Venerable's sword light would follow him like a shadow, constantly stabbing at him!

With a thought, Li Yanchu immediately opened the entrance to the Chaos Cave, and the sword light slashed in.

At this moment, Master Chen was fighting against the innate spiritual treasure in the cave, attempting to revive himself, when suddenly an unparalleled sword light slashed down.
"what!"

Master Chen let out a miserable scream.

This sword strike damaged Master Chen's foundation.

Master Chen roared, "Li Yanchu, not only did you trap me here, you also sent someone to ambush me!"

Li Yanchu's use of Chen Daozhu to block the Great Celestial Venerable's sword was both ingenious and insidious.

Master Chen cursed angrily, while Li Yanchu laughed mockingly, "Fool, can't you tell who stabbed you with that sword?"

Master Chen said, "Besides that old thief, the Great Heavenly Venerable, who else could it be? Stop making a fuss here and underestimating the heroes of the world."

Li Yanchu said, "Now that the great calamity in the alien realm has broken out, do you want to wait here to die, or do you want to go out and fight the Great Celestial Venerable?"

Master Chen exclaimed in disbelief, "What? The great calamity has erupted!"

At this moment, the Chaos Cave opened, and the aura of calamity, which had been isolated by the Nine Paths of Primordial Chaos, permeated the air, instantly filling him with fear and trepidation.

His calamity was activated, and Master Chen couldn't help but curse, "Li Yanchu, you bastard, you'll die a horrible death!"

Immediately afterwards, Li Yanchu's consciousness entered the Chaos Cave Abyss and kicked Chen Daozhu out.

Suddenly finding himself in a foreign land, Master Chen was momentarily bewildered.

He had been trying to escape, but Li Yanchu was incredibly cunning. He even suspected that it wasn't impossible for Li Yanchu to kill him.

Especially since the Daoist Master Guan and the Daoist Master Shi were slow to arrive to rescue him, he had already lost much hope.
Unexpectedly, at that moment, Li Yanchu kicked him away, freeing him from his predicament.

But now, just as the great calamity of destruction in the alien realm has broken out, the Chaos Cave Abyss under the protection of Li Yanchu's nine paths can be considered the Pure Land of the Other Shore.

At this moment, Master Chen couldn't help but want to curse.

He immediately revived from his flesh and blood, returning to his original form.

Upon seeing this, Master Shi and Master Guan were overjoyed.

The Daoist Master shouted, "Fellow Daoist Chen, quickly join forces with us to kill this dog, the Great Heavenly Venerable!"

How could they possibly withstand this great calamity alone? With the addition of Master Chen, they felt somewhat comforted.
