Poverty

Chapter 1838 Scheming
At this moment, the Dao Master charged towards Li Yanchu with all his might, and the radiant light of the vast universe surged behind him.

The great Dao of creation of the universe permeated his being, and his sword flashed, clashing with Li Yanchu's sword.

But when Li Yanchu swung his sword down, the Dao injury within Guandao's body suddenly erupted.

When the extraterrestrial calamity erupted, the three Great Daos of Slaughter, Calamity, and Annihilation surged continuously, and Li Yanchu's cultivation level was completely different from before.

He swung his sword down, and the caves behind Guandao Master suddenly shattered one after another.

His connection with the universe is being severed.

The Taoist master was startled.
"No, if I let him keep cutting like this, without the support of the power of the Great Thousand Universe, I will be far from being his match."

At this moment, Guandao Master kept mobilizing his supernatural powers to attack Li Yanchu. The two's swords kept clashing in the air, the sound of metal clashing rang out, and sparks flew everywhere.

Both men fought ruthlessly, each move deadly. Their supernatural powers erupted, causing the heavens and earth to tremble and the earth, fire, water, and wind to reappear, returning to chaos.

The two fought fiercely, but Guan Daozhu was gradually losing ground. As the tide turned, his Dongyuan Cave was being continuously cut down.

Li Yanchu's cultivation level gradually increased due to the outbreak of the calamity.

The Master of Guandao was injured and planned to retreat to join the Master of Shidao.

But Li Yanchu wouldn't let him leave. With a flash of his blade, Li Yanchu enveloped Guan Daozhu in an instant.

The Dao Master's heart sank as he recalled the pain of being killed by Li Yanchu. He let out a low roar and frantically increased his cultivation.
The Great Dao of Creation began to operate, transforming the blade into a spear, and an unparalleled divine spear appeared, stirring the void.

In an instant, he was about to break free from Li Yanchu's deadly blade attack.

But at this moment, Li Yanchu mobilized the three great Daos of Killing Calamity, Annihilation, and Tribulation from the entire outer domain to slash at the Dao Master.

The Daoist Master's spear broke, and he was sent flying, nearly being disemboweled.

He was greatly surprised and began searching for Master Shi.

At this moment, he kept urging the bloodline of the ancient god of wisdom to evolve vitality, trying to find a glimmer of hope. This was a unique ability of the ancient god of wisdom.

But the Great Dao was vast and chaotic, everything around was in disarray, and no one could find a way out.

Guandao Master struggled to escape, but Li Yanchu seized the opportunity and severed both of his legs with a single stroke.

His legs were severed at the knees, and blood gushed out instantly.

At this moment, Guan Daozhu finally spotted Shi Daozhu, who was currently wreaking havoc, relentlessly eliminating the strange beings.

The Daoist Master cried out, "Daoist Master Shi, save me!"

At this moment, Master Shi noticed that Master Guan was being chased. His eyes turned cold, and he quickly mobilized the Pure Yang Great Dao and summoned his innate spiritual treasure to attack Li Yanchu.

He stood between Li Yanchu and the Dao Master, who said in a hoarse voice, "Be careful! His luck, killing power, and annihilation have increased dramatically, and his cultivation has also skyrocketed, making him incomparable to what he was before!"

Before he could even reply to Master Shi, Li Yanchu had already charged forward with his knife.

The Stone Dao Master had only been fighting Li Yanchu for a short while when he was already covered in wounds.

He was kicked in the chest by Li Yanchu and sent flying backward, coughing up mouthfuls of blood.

The two fought slowly, but in reality, it was extremely fast. Their supernatural powers collided in layers of void, shattering galaxies and annihilating everything.

Just as the Daoist Master Guan Dao shouted a reminder, Daoist Master Shi Dao Dao had already been kicked out by Li Yan Chu and slashed several times by Li Yan Chu, causing his momentum to plummet.

Li Yanchu had not expected that the surge in extraterrestrial killings would cause the mobilized forces to increase exponentially.

Despite his extremely high combat power, Li Yanchu sensed the danger behind this matter.

The Annihilation Heavenly Flame burned ever more fiercely; he, having cultivated nine paths of proof, should have been able to withstand it.
However, as the Annihilation Calamity grew stronger, Li Yanchu kept urging these powers to kill powerful enemies, and at this moment he could no longer suppress them.

"Once I am also dragged into this calamity, I may not be able to escape."

Li Yanchu was secretly wary, but he didn't show it on the surface. He fought ruthlessly, each blow fatal.

This forced Master Shi and Master Guan to join forces against him.

The two joined forces and their aura changed dramatically. They retreated continuously and rejoined Master Chen.

Master Chen was fighting the Great Celestial Venerable and was seriously injured. The three of them joined forces to activate the Chaos Ring once again.

In an instant, countless forces and great principles fell into it.

For a moment, neither the Great Celestial Venerable nor Li Yanchu could step forward.

The combined power of these three was indeed extremely fierce and powerful.

At this moment, the Great Celestial Venerable noticed Li Yanchu and said coldly, "You should repay the karmic debt between Heaven and Earth!"

Almost all the powerful figures in the Hong Realm died at the hands of Li Yanchu. His eldest son, Little Celestial Venerable, could have inherited his will, but even this genius who roamed the starry sea was killed by Li Yanchu.

The Great Celestial Venerable originally only wanted to eliminate the three Dao Lords first, but even though he was in a deep state of meditation, he now drew his sword and attacked Li Yanchu.

Li Yanchu knew that this might not be the Great Celestial Venerable escaping the tribulation, but rather a deeper state of tranquility. Since his own tribulation was intense, he became the target of the Venerable's attack.

Li Yanchu brandished his sword and charged forward. As their swords clashed, layers of void were cleaved away, turning into chaos.

The Great Celestial Venerable's cultivation was indeed extremely powerful. As he watched Li Yanchu slash and kill, Li Yanchu immediately felt immense pressure.

The Great Celestial Venerable's Nine Paths of Innate Wisdom and Li Yanchu's Nine Paths of Wisdom are completely different approaches.

After the Great Celestial Venerable completed the cultivation of the Nine Innate Paths, his Dao power seemed inexhaustible, no weaker than that of the Three Great Dao Lords, and he never showed any signs of exhaustion during battles.

Li Yanchu's Nine Paths of Evidence emphasizes transcendence, making him impervious to all laws and difficult to harm.

The two cultivated in different directions and with different paths, yet both achieved the Nine Paths of Proof, a feat that even people from the Dao Domain couldn't understand.

At this moment, the Great Celestial Venerable brandished his sword and attacked Li Yanchu. The three Great Dao Masters exchanged glances upon seeing this.

Master Chen said, "Li Yanchu is playing with fire and will get burned. He refused to join forces with us to suppress the Great Celestial Venerable, and wanted to keep him around to restrain us, but instead he was targeted by the Great Celestial Venerable."

The Great Celestial Venerable is now an executor; this cataclysmic calamity is to be carried out through the Great Celestial Venerable's hands, a massive purge.

This would plunge the entire universe into annihilation.

The Great Celestial Venerable surged his cultivation and attacked Li Yanchu. His sword light was extremely sharp, and he had the momentum to annihilate all paths with a single sword.

The Nine Innate Paths kept appearing on the sword. Li Yanchu's cultivation level soared because the alien realm was in annihilation. Wasn't the Great Heavenly Venerable the same?

Just as the three Dao Lords were about to seize the opportunity to attack, the Great Celestial Venerable's sword light suddenly swept across, carving out a huge chasm.

This chasm cleaved through countless layers of void, annihilating everything within and forcing the three Dao Lords to a halt.

The Great Celestial Venerable's gaze held a threatening intent, and at this moment, he seemed to possess a self-awareness that had emerged from the calamity of slaughter.

The Great Celestial Venerable coldly said, "You all need to repay the karma of heaven and earth, but it will have to be after Li Yanchu."

The three Daoists were stunned. They exchanged a glance; if they rushed forward now, they would likely be killed simultaneously by Li Yanchu and the Great Celestial Venerable. Master Chen cursed under his breath, "That bastard!"

He couldn't help but want to curse.

Although the Great Celestial Venerable heard this, he did not take it seriously and continued to attack Li Yanchu.

His relatives and friends, his son, and the future he cared about were all killed by Li Yanchu, and at this moment, the Great Celestial Venerable's hatred was extremely intense.

Li Yanchu sensed the intense killing intent within the Great Celestial Venerable's sword light.

As two individuals who cultivated the Nine Innate Paths in the Chaotic Star Sea, they can be described as extraordinary talents.

Suddenly, a collision occurred. Li Yanchu summoned the Divine Blade of Slaying the Dao, and the blade light fell, containing the power of the Nine Daos.

This collision shattered the void and further exacerbated the calamity that was about to erupt in the otherworld.

The calamity from the otherworldly realm surged violently, engulfing the two of them, leaving Li Yanchu stunned.

In this way, the calamity within him will erupt, and the Nine Paths of the Primordial Chaos, being in a state of conflict, will be unable to suppress or transcend it.

The Great Celestial Venerable disregarded everything and said hoarsely, "I know I am no match for you, I know that the calamity is controlling me, but if I do not do this, I cannot kill my enemy and cannot personally kill you. I would rather shatter my own Great Dao and scatter it throughout the world."

The fact that the Great Celestial Venerable struggled to utter these words at this moment showed the strength of his determination to kill Li Yanchu.

Upon hearing this, Li Yanchu couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine.
"So he knew all along!"

When ordinary people enter a state of tranquility, they have absolutely no independent consciousness, or rather, they do have independent consciousness, but it is influenced, and the distinction between their own consciousness and external consciousness becomes indistinguishable.

But the Great Celestial Venerable was different. He deliberately entered a state of tranquility in order to increase his strength so that he could kill all his enemies at a crucial moment and end it all.

At this moment, many thoughts were swirling in Li Yanchu's mind. He suspected that the Great Celestial Venerable's demands were probably not limited to this.

"No, if the Great Celestial Venerable were someone who valued hatred so much, he wouldn't have allowed the Hong Realm to fall into annihilation."

The Great Celestial Venerable probably intends to use this to cultivate the Nine Paths and attain the most crucial step.

Li Yanchu's cultivation of the Nine Paths of Proof differed from that of the Great Celestial Venerable, therefore he did not understand what the Great Celestial Venerable sought.
But he had a vague suspicion that he was very close to the truth.

At this moment, the Great Celestial Venerable attacked Li Yanchu again, his sword light sharp and fierce, piercing through the void.

Li Yanchu swung his sword, extinguishing all of his sword light.

His swordsmanship was extremely fierce, and when he activated his Dao-Slaying Divine Power, he could sever all the great Daos under heaven.

However, the Great Celestial Venerable's teachings truly encompassed all the great principles of the world.

Not only did it contain the nine innate paths such as Chaos, Primordial Chaos, Limitless, and Reincarnation, but it also contained the innate Great Daos such as Yin and Yang, God and Demon, Creation, Taiqing, Taiji, Pure Yang, and Pure Yin. When these were unleashed at once, all the Daos were activated simultaneously, creating an astonishing aura.

For a moment, the three Dao Masters were also dumbfounded.

Master Chen said in shock, "There are more than three thousand Great Daos in the universe, and even ten thousand Great Daos cannot be included, yet he was able to cultivate them all. This is too terrifying."

Even the Master of the Guandao Sect said in disbelief, "Even if he deduced it from Taiyi, it's still too surprising!"

Taiyi is the ancestor of all paths, encompassing all paths. It is truly unbelievable that by deducing the myriad paths from Taiyi, one can reach such a high level.

At this moment, Li Yanchu had to admire the Great Celestial Venerable's cunning and skill.
They can actively enter the calamity and become the executor of the great calamity, thereby better controlling killing, calamity, and annihilation, and can also reverse the myriad paths from the Taiyi.

At this moment, a blow was unleashed, and Li Yanchu was forced to retreat continuously.

The current Great Celestial Venerable is completely different from the one who was killed in the past. His aura is extremely powerful, and his methods are also very ruthless.

Li Yanchu then swung his sword repeatedly, his sword light bursting forth from various voids, finally managing to neutralize the Great Celestial Venerable's attack.

Li Yanchu looked down and couldn't help but be somewhat taken aback.

At this moment, his tiger's mouth was torn open, the veins on his arm bulged, and he was trembling incessantly.

That last strike did indeed deplete much of his Dao power.
Unlike the Great Celestial Venerable, whose Dao power circulates endlessly after cultivating the Nine Paths of Proof, Li Yanchu's Dao power is greatly depleted by prolonged battles.

At this moment, Li Yanchu's eyes revealed a solemn expression.

…………

On the other side, two people in the starry sea watched this scene from afar, their expressions extremely cold. They were two envoys from the Dao Domain.

At this moment, Chen Sui said, "The Great Celestial Venerable is indeed a genius. He is already qualified to return to the Dao Domain. This time, being able to bring him back will surely delight the palace masters."

However, Yu Shu frowned and said, "His fate with the Dao Domain has ended. It might not be appropriate to take him back."

Chen Sui said firmly this time, "Senior brother, I can do as you say on other matters, but we must bring the Great Celestial Venerable back. As for his fate, we will have to let the Palace Master decide."

Yu Shu was about to say something, but seeing Chen Sui's sharp gaze, he unconsciously stopped talking.

Given the talent and comprehension that the Great Celestial Venerable has displayed at this moment, if he were brought back to the Dao Domain to deduce other cultivation techniques, it is possible to elevate the cultivation techniques of the Dao Domain to a higher level.

Such temptations would not be missed by those palace masters.

If he dares to shirk responsibility or obstruct the process, Chen Sui only needs to file a complaint, and he will certainly not escape punishment.

Thinking of those cruel punishments, Yu Shu couldn't help but feel a little frightened, so he stopped talking.

Yu Shu said indifferently, "First it was Li Yanchu, and then it was the Great Celestial Venerable. Senior brother, I must congratulate you. You have a discerning eye and have brought so many talents back to the Dao Domain."

Chen Sui said, "It's not that I have discerning eyes, but their brilliance cannot be concealed by anyone. These two must be taken to the Dao Domain, otherwise, wouldn't our trip here just be for show? How can we explain this to our master?"

Chen Sui spoke with righteous indignation, and Yu Shu could only remain silent upon hearing this.

Yu Shu said, "What about the three Dao Lords? They are the highest rulers of this universe, so we might as well bring them along as well."

Chen Sui sneered, "Senior brother, what are you saying? These corrupt people, although they have made some innovations, have only made progress on the original techniques. How can they compare to geniuses like the Great Celestial Venerable and Li Yanchu? Not just anyone is qualified to go to my Dao Domain."

Upon hearing this, Yu Shu felt a surge of resentment and sneered, "Junior sister, you're so arrogant now, and my words are like farts to you."

Chen Sui smiled and said, "What are you saying, Senior Brother? The traces of the innate rebel have been found. Although we did not capture him, this is still a great achievement. The Palace Master will naturally reward the two of us for bringing back such a genius. It is not enough for Junior Sister to enjoy it alone."

Upon hearing this, Yu Shu's expression softened slightly.

He was extremely jealous of Li Yanchu, and also of the Great Celestial Venerable.

He didn't want the two of them to go to the Dao Domain and be valued by others, so he mentioned that the three Dao Lords should go together, which was a bit of a blunder.

Yu Shu sighed and said, "They must first survive this great calamity, otherwise, everything will be in vain."

Chen Sui said, "Then we'll wait and see."

Yu Shu looked around warily, then suddenly said, "Do you think the innate rebels would miss such a momentous event?"

Chen Sui was also somewhat alarmed upon hearing this, and pondered, "I'm afraid not only the innate rebels will come, but also Uncle Mang. At that time, the innate rebels will not be able to escape. If Yu Xiantian is a smart person, he will not dare to show himself at this time."
