Poverty

Chapter 1837 Variables
Although Master Chen wanted to curse, the situation was critical, and the fate of the three Dao Masters was intertwined.

He immediately channeled his cultivation and joined the battle.

Although he had just been resurrected, his cultivation was still formidable. He mobilized the power of the universe, and in an instant, countless rays of light converged on his body.

At this moment, Master Chen was in high spirits. He had escaped from the cave and was still the powerful being who could crush ordinary Dao Masters.

At this moment, the three of them joined forces to withstand the overwhelming sword light from the Great Celestial Venerable.

The sword light seemed ordinary, yet the three of them were unable to gain any advantage.

The battle raged on for a long time, with the outcome uncertain, and the alien realm was on the verge of being reduced to ruins.
The calamity erupted with increasing force, causing the three to be secretly alarmed.

The Dao Master transmitted his voice, saying, "We must find a way to survive this great calamity of annihilation. Otherwise, even if we are lucky enough to survive, our cultivation will probably be burned to ashes by the calamity fire."

He had already sensed that his own calamity was about to erupt, and at this moment he was only suppressing it with the Great Dao.

Immediately, the three Dao Lords pushed their cultivation to the limit, revealing their ancient god forms.

For 130 million years, they have been like three insurmountable mountains, suppressing the vast universe.

Now that the three of them have joined forces, in an instant, terrifying power of Dao pressed down, and space distorted layer by layer.

They wanted to kill the Great Celestial Venerable first, and then find a way to stop the calamity in the alien realm, but the Great Celestial Venerable's power was boundless and extremely powerful.

After mastering the Nine Paths of Proof, he made further progress. At this moment, he unleashed dozens of sword strikes, instantly resisting the divine powers of the three Dao Lords.

The three Dao Lords repeatedly urged their cultivation, but failed to kill the Great Celestial Venerable. At this moment, they were secretly annoyed.

The calamity within them has begun to be activated, and the karma on these three is the heaviest. Once activated, it is feared that none of them will be able to escape this great calamity.

The three exchanged a glance, their Dao powers mingling and reflecting each other. In an instant, the layers of void shattered, and a huge ripple spread out, then transformed into a chaotic ring, pulling everything into it.

They attempted to use this method to combat the great calamity of annihilation. When the power of the Dao surged to a certain extent, everything turned into chaos, thus forming this Dao landscape.

It also appeared when Jing Qing fought against the heroes, and it had a similar effect to the Vajra Bracelet, a magical artifact in his hand.

However, this chaotic ring is now formed by the collision of Dao forces.

At this moment, the power of the three Dao Lords converged, forming a terrifying Dao scene, which suppressed the Great Heavenly Venerable for a time.

The Daoist Master said, "Suppress this old thief here! The great calamity has already broken out; find a way to transfer and slow down the calamity."

Master Chen said, “I have just been reborn, and my Dao power cultivation has not yet returned to its peak. I will stay behind to preside over the Chaos Ring and hold off the Great Heavenly Venerable. You should try to slow down the calamity.”

Upon hearing this, Master Shi and Master Guan both took to the air and departed.

Master Chen's expression was solemn. This was not because he was deliberately trying to take advantage of the situation. Among the three of them, he was currently the weakest in cultivation, making him the most suitable person to stay and control the Chaos Ring.

The Master of Guandao possesses unique wisdom and bloodline; in the past, he was the one who transferred calamities to others.

The Daoist Master Shi's power is still at its peak, making it the most suitable time to assist the Daoist Master Guan.

However, Master Chen was also somewhat anxious. The tribulation within his body had already been triggered, and he was constantly fighting against the Annihilation Heavenly Fire, hoping to successfully delay it, or at least to bring the tribulation to a level that they could overcome.

If the alien realm ceases to exist by then, it wouldn't be impossible for the three of them to survive and start over.

At this moment, Master Chen was trying his best to activate the Chaos Ring, while the Great Celestial Venerable was unleashing endless sword light to slash at it.

The combined supernatural powers of the three Dao Lords were extraordinary, and he found it difficult to break through them for a time.

The killing intent in the Great Celestial Venerable's eyes grew increasingly cold and fierce. He spared no effort and desperately mobilized his cultivation to kill the Chaos Ring.

Master Chen struggled to maintain his composure, inwardly surprised.
"He has been kidnapped and controlled. The three of us are the ones with the best chance of surviving this cataclysmic calamity. The calamity wants to use him to eliminate us. We must not let the calamity succeed!"

He had been pondering how to counter this cataclysmic calamity. The Dao Lord realm should be free and unfettered, but unexpectedly, he was also controlled by this ephemeral cataclysmic calamity and could not escape.

A number of thoughts flashed through Master Chen's mind: resentment and anticipation.

At this moment, Master Shi and Master Guan suddenly began killing people indiscriminately, wreaking havoc.

They had originally hoped that the alien realm would allow the three of them to survive together, but now that the calamity was raging, they had to hurry to alleviate it, otherwise they would also have difficulty surviving this calamity.

At this time, whether they were enlightened beings or ordinary extraordinary people, they were all killed by them.

The two men were incredibly fast at relieving the calamity; in an instant, countless people died at their hands, and cries of agony filled the air.

These extraordinary individuals, who usually acted arrogantly and domineeringly, now not only had to endure the destruction of the Great Calamity of Annihilation, but also had to face the slaughter of the two Great Dao Lords. For a time, it was like a living hell.

Li Yanchu watched coldly, thinking to himself, "When an avalanche occurs, no snowflake is innocent."

He came here to destroy the alien realm, and since he doesn't have to do it himself, there's no need for him to stop him.

Instead, Li Yanchu's gaze fell on Master Chen.

He spared Chen Daozhu's life to allow the calamity in the alien realm to erupt.

Now that the calamity has erupted, and Master Chen has become a key figure in confronting the Great Celestial Venerable and maintaining the Chaos Ring, the killing intent in Li Yanchu's eyes suddenly intensified.

Master Chen suddenly turned around, and only then did he feel the hairs on the back of his neck stand up, and a chill ran through him.

He looked at Li Yanchu and was startled: "Damn it, I forgot about this guy."

Whether it was due to the influence of the calamity or the tension of being in the midst of a great calamity, Master Chen had not taken Li Yanchu into account just now.

Master Chen said, "Li Yanchu, you are also under the calamity, and you are also a Dao Lord of the Holy Domain. Don't act recklessly at this time!"

Li Yanchu has attained enlightenment multiple times in the outer realms. Logically, he should be fighting against and eliminating the calamity alongside the three Great Dao Masters, and together they should overcome this great tribulation.
Anyone would do the same, since it concerns their own life, and no one would act recklessly.

But Master Chen didn't trust Li Yanchu.

He is Li Yanchu, the number one rebel from the foreign land.

He has an extremely fierce temper and is a reckless madman; no one knows what he might do.

Seeing Li Yanchu walking towards him step by step, Master Chen was startled. He quickly shouted, "Li Yanchu, Master Shi and Master Guan are currently eliminating the calamity. It's fine if you don't go to help, but if you act recklessly at this time and disregard the overall situation, you will also die under the calamity of annihilation!"

Li Yanchu said, "A true man should die when he is supposed to. Don't try to fool me with this. I have my own plans."

Master Chen said, "You released me from the cave to fight against the Great Celestial Venerable and block the calamity, didn't you? Killing all the supernatural beings can slow down the calamity, and with the strength of the four of us, we have a good chance of getting through it."

A hopeful look appeared in his eyes.

Master Chen had to admit that although Li Yanchu was a despicable bastard, someone one wished nothing more than to kill,
However, his comprehension and strength are also top-notch, definitely not below that of the Great Celestial Venerable.

Moreover, if he controls the killing and eliminates the calamity, and if he kills the Great Celestial Venerable and takes his place as the new executor of the calamity, he will very likely survive the great calamity.

Therefore, Master Chen had already put aside the hatred between the two and began to patiently persuade them.

However, Li Yanchu continued to press forward, and Master Chen immediately sensed something was wrong.
"This madman wouldn't attack me at this time, would he?"

Li Yanchu said with a smile, "Look how nervous you are. It turns out that you never cared about other people's lives and deaths, but you lose your composure when it comes to your own."

Master Chen's face darkened, and he remained silent. He didn't want to argue with Li Yanchu at this time, thinking to himself, "Let him have the upper hand, there's no need to provoke him."

But Li Yanchu continued, "Putting aside your cultivation at the Dao Lord realm and your strength, you are nothing more than a scheming, cowardly, and mortal person."

Upon hearing this, Master Chen's eyes flashed with intense killing intent, and he couldn't help but ask, "What exactly do you want to do?"

Li Yanchu said, "The Great Celestial Venerable is controlled by the Calamity of Slaughter, and the calamity has erupted. He is the key figure. I cannot stand by and watch you try to deal with him, so I have come to help you."

Master Chen found it somewhat absurd.
“Your hatred runs deep. Even if you help him, he won’t be grateful. Instead, he will slaughter your Jingjie to the last blade of grass.”

Li Yanchu said, "I like it."

Master Chen: "..."

Li Yanchu suddenly threw a punch, his fist intent extremely powerful.

It contains the nine innate transformations, extremely powerful and fierce, starting from chaos and ending in annihilation, in an endless cycle.

The punch landed squarely in front of Master Chen, who desperately tried to block it.

The power of the Chaos Ring kept pulling at Li Yanchu's fist intent, but it only affected a portion of it.

Master Chen was knocked back hundreds of feet by Li Yanchu's punch.

But just as he managed to withstand that attack, Li Yanchu appeared in front of him and threw another punch.
Master Chen was startled and had no choice but to mobilize all his cultivation to fight Li Yanchu.

He had suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of Li Yanchu and knew that Li Yanchu's cultivation was formidable, no less than his own.

Fighting against it, he couldn't afford to be distracted from controlling the Chaos Ring, and he couldn't care less about anything else now.

Li Yanchu used both fists and feet, his attacks were ferocious and extremely powerful, and Master Chen was immediately forced to retreat repeatedly.

At this moment, the Great Celestial Venerable broke free and charged forward with his sword, but this sword was not aimed at Chen Daozhu.
Instead, it slashed at Li Yanchu, the sword light sharp, attempting to pierce the back of Li Yanchu's head.

Li Yanchu's figure flashed away, and he punched out, suppressing the sword light. Then he drifted away and calmly left the battlefield.

Master Chen shouted, "Look what you've done! You let this old thief escape, and he'll be the first to kill you. Li Yanchu, it's not too late to turn back now. Join forces with me to kill this old thief!"

Li Yanchu disrupted the arrangements of the three Dao Lords and released the Great Celestial Venerable again.

Li Yanchu remained unmoved by Chen Daozhu's words, as the voice drifted from afar.
“He couldn’t even withstand the killing calamity and has already entered a state of oblivion. He’s just a pathetic wretch. Why would I need to join forces with you to kill him?”

After saying this, Li Yanchu headed off to another part of the foreign land.

Unexpectedly, the Great Celestial Venerable, provoked in this way, did not go after Li Yanchu, but instead stopped Chen Daozhu.

Master Chen felt his head was spinning.

"That bastard Li Yanchu is as unpredictable as ever."

At this moment, he looked at the Great Celestial Venerable and angrily cursed, "You old fool, you stabbed him with your first sword, and he cursed and ridiculed you. Instead of chasing Li Yanchu, you came to stop me. Are you out of your mind?"

The Great Celestial Venerable said, "Killing him is not difficult. The Jing Realm is not far from the Otherworld. I will kill you first, Chen Yu. You need to repay the karma of heaven and earth."

"..." Master Chen was exhausted. It was that same sentence again. He really wanted to crack open the Great Celestial Venerable's head to see what was inside.

He wasn't sure whether the Great Celestial Venerable had lost his mind or not, but in any case, it was infuriating.

At this moment, Li Yanchu's figure had vanished without a trace, and Master Chen could no longer detect his whereabouts.

He once again clashed with the Great Celestial Venerable. The Great Celestial Venerable's sword light was fierce, and Chen Daozhu alone was unable to defend himself, sustaining injuries one after another.

Master Chen was so angry that he shouted and yelled, completely losing his previous composure. Anyone who encountered two such people would find it difficult to deal with them calmly.

Master Chen's anger flared up.
"If you won't let me live, then you won't live either. Before I die, I'll twist your head off! You old bastard, prepare to die!"

So he disregarded everything and focused all his energy on cultivating, fighting against the Great Celestial Venerable.

The chaotic ring in the sky should have dissipated, but it did not disappear. Instead, it continued to rotate and pull, affecting the alien spacetime.

This surprised Master Chen somewhat.

However, at this moment, he disregarded everything else, his eyes filled with killing intent, and fought with the Great Celestial Venerable.

…………

Li Yanchu's goal was simple: to create chaos, restrain both sides, and ensure the complete annihilation of the alien realm, thus burying everyone there.

His ambition was so great that neither the Three Dao Masters nor the Great Heavenly Venerable considered it carefully, simply thinking he was just stirring up trouble.

However, Li Yanchu also had some worries at this moment.

"We absolutely cannot allow Master Chen and Master Guan to slow down the calamity. None of the three of them, plus that old bastard Da Tianzun, can survive."

Li Yanchu first approached the Guandao Master, who was currently exterminating the Yiren and wanted to kill them before the Great Calamity of Annihilation, attempting to take advantage of this opportunity.

Regardless of whether it would be effective, Li Yanchu had no choice but to intervene.

Although he had cultivated to the point of mastering the Nine Paths of Proof, the Annihilation Heavenly Flame had actually been trying to erode and refine him, only it was isolated by the Nine Paths of Proof.

Li Yanchu knew the magnitude of this calamity, but he didn't know exactly how far it would go.

At this point, he could only try his best to keep the three Dao Masters with him.

Just as the Dao Master was using all his strength to kill the alien, a blade of light suddenly slashed towards him!

Before the blade even arrived, Guandao Master was startled, feeling as if he were being cut in many places on his body.

Without a doubt, it must be that scoundrel Li Yanchu.

The Dao Master immediately channeled his cultivation and charged forward. As the blade struck, numerous wounds appeared all over his body, dripping with blood.

The painful memories of being killed by Li Yanchu flooded back, and many flaws suddenly appeared in the Great Dao.

The leader of the Taoist sect was greatly alarmed.
"Could it be that I have never truly refined the Dao injury he left me?"

He then channeled his cultivation, attempting to find an opening to counterattack under Li Yanchu's blade.

However, Li Yanchu's Dao-Slaying Divine Blade can be called the number one divine power in the Chaotic Star Sea. The Dao-Piercing Master had no way to break it and could only escape from the purple blade light.

The Master of Guandao said, "Li Yanchu, with a great calamity imminent, I have no time to fight you. Don't provoke me. If you anger me, I will go to Jingjie now and see if you can bear the loss!"

Li Yanchu said, "You are welcome to go. Even if you are in the Realm of Scenery, the Great Calamity of Annihilation will not stop. You can have a good time before you die."

The Daoist Master snorted coldly, unable to refute Li Yanchu's words for a moment.

In that case, he would be completely giving up on saving himself and just engaging in a bloody battle, which is not in line with his original intention and is not the best choice.

Looking at Li Yanchu, the Daoist Master felt a headache coming on.
"How did I end up messing with such a bastard!"
