Poverty

Chapter 1839 Hedao
The Great Celestial Venerable was now fully mobilizing his cultivation to fight Li Yanchu.

As fellow cultivators of the Nine Innate Paths in the Chaotic Star Sea, he and Li Yanchu are now trying to prove their own Dao by fighting against Li Yanchu. They want Li Yanchu to help them cultivate further and transcend the current world!

Therefore, his earlier sword strike that forced back the three Dao Lords was so that he could focus on his final battle with Li Yanchu.

The fact that the Great Celestial Venerable was able to break free from the influence of the Annihilation Calamity is also related to his cultivation of the Nine Paths of the Primordial Chaos. If he wants to advance further, he must have Li Yanchu's help.

At this moment, he thrust out his sword. Li Yanchu's blade flashed fiercely. In an instant, their supernatural powers spread throughout the heavens and earth, shattering the void.

The cultivation of the nine paths of the Great Celestial Venerable is extremely difficult, especially the paths of killing, calamity, and annihilation.

He had only just grasped the mystery of annihilation after witnessing the Hongjie fall into oblivion and the deaths of his loved ones, friends, and disciples.

However, Li Yanchu comprehended the Dao of Annihilation with his astonishing comprehension, and the Great Celestial Venerable's killing intent towards Li Yanchu was extremely strong.

However, he had previously cultivated several Great Daos to a very solid level, verifying each other's strengths, which far surpassed Li Yanchu's.

Li Yanchu's cultivation time is still a bit short.

At this moment, the Great Celestial Venerable swung his sword and struck, and Li Yanchu was knocked back again. His tiger's mouth was torn, his arm was covered in blood, many muscles were torn, and his skin cracked, with blood seeping out, which quickly stained his Taoist robe red.

The Great Celestial Venerable coldly said, "Your Nine Paths of Proof have gone astray; it's merely a shortcut and cannot be considered a true Nine Paths of Proof."

Even so, he couldn't help but admire Li Yanchu's comprehension.

If Li Yanchu were given more time, the Great Celestial Venerable was not sure whether Li Yanchu's clever trick of using the Nine Paths of Evidence would surpass his own.

At this moment, the Great Celestial Venerable slashed with sword after sword, and Li Yanchu kept deflecting the attacks, but his Dao power gradually declined, which even the three Dao Lords could see.

The three Dao Masters all showed joy in their eyes.

Master Chen said, "He has only been proving his Dao in the Great Thousand Universe for a short time, and he doesn't control a large number of universes. He is gradually declining. Even if that old scoundrel, the Great Heavenly Venerable, can't kill him, the three of us still have a chance to keep him here."

The leader of the sect said, "That's right, we'll find an opportunity to go up and kill him later."

But at this moment, Master Shi suddenly said, "That's not right."

The two Dao Lords looked at him, and Dao Lord Guan said, "What's wrong?"

Master Shi said, "Li Yanchu's current state is not right, and his Dao power should not be declining so quickly."

Master Chen said, "He fought fiercely with us earlier, and his cultivation time is short, so his Dao power has declined. Is there anything wrong with that?"

Master Shi said in a deep voice, "I can't quite put my finger on it, but Li Yanchu gives me a very strange feeling right now."

Upon hearing this, the Dao Master fell silent. After a moment, he said in surprise, "He could previously mobilize his past and future bodies, but look at him now. Even though his Dao power is constantly declining and he is on the verge of death, he has not used it."

After being reminded, Master Chen realized what was happening and frowned, saying, "That's right, this is a life-or-death moment. Why is he only relying on the Nine Paths of the Primordial Chaos to fight against the Great Celestial Venerable?"

The Daoist Master coldly said, "Unless... he wants to use the Great Heavenly Venerable's hand to observe the Nine Paths of Evidence and verify it with the other side!"

Master Chen said incredulously, "You've made him sound a bit too divine. I think he's about to die a violent death."

The Dao Master said, "He previously suppressed me in the Holy Domain and then suppressed you in the Cave Abyss. This unparalleled combat power will only become stronger now. At least until his Dao power completely declines, his attack power will be more than this."

Master Chen frowned and said, "Even if he is the most outstanding genius in the Chaotic Star Sea, facing the Great Calamity of Annihilation, and facing the Great Celestial Venerable whose three Great Daos of Slaughter, Calamity, and Annihilation are also surging, does he still have any strength left?"

The three of them kept their eyes on Li Yanchu, trying to find a flaw in his Dao power.

Master Shi said, "Have you ever thought about how many universes' Great Daos Li Yanchu has refined?"

Upon hearing this, both Master Guan and Master Chen immediately turned their gazes to Master Shi.

The Dao Master pondered, "When he fought me earlier, he had already revealed his strength. Apart from us, he has refined the most, but it's only a few hundred."

Master Chen also said, "How much can he refine in such a short time? It's already amazing that he can refine this much."

Master Shi said, "He had hundreds of years to travel through the starry sea. If the number of universes he refined was the same as ours..."

The Taoist master chuckled to himself.
"That's impossible. If he had such power during the previous fierce battle, he could have fought against us long ago. Why would he need to rely on his past and future self to be able to match us?"

Master Shi said, "I always feel that his Dao power is a bit strange. It is consumed too quickly, as if there is a bottomless pit in his body. It also seems that he is hiding some strength. Let's keep watching. Later, we will go up and kill him even if the Great Heavenly Venerable tries to stop us. This kid is too dangerous."

The two Daoist masters, Guan Dao and Chen Dao, also looked solemn, paying close attention to the battlefield and preparing to strike and kill Li Yanchu.

At this moment, the Great Celestial Venerable and Li Yanchu were verifying the Nine Paths of the Primordial Realm. The two of them used the Nine Paths to verify and attack each other, and the battle was extremely fierce.

Li Yanchu even put away the Dao-Slaying Divine Blade and fought with only his fists and feet.

His fist techniques were grand and powerful, yet sharp and fierce. When he fought the Great Celestial Venerable in close combat, he unleashed boundless power within a small space, causing the heavens and earth to collapse.

The Great Celestial Venerable's supernatural powers were extremely ingenious, constantly evolving with cause and effect, reincarnation, primordial chaos, and the boundless. Every move he made contained the true meaning of the Great Dao, and he was not at a disadvantage when fighting Li Yanchu.

It should be noted that Li Yanchu is the only martial arts master since the beginning of time, and he is incredibly powerful in close combat.

The two fought faster and faster, their figures constantly intersecting and separating, with thunderous sounds erupting in the area where they were.

Countless dazzling scenes of Taoism unfolded, constantly evolving and crumbling, much like the birth and death of countless worlds.

Li Yanchu was forced to retreat continuously by the Great Celestial Venerable. Although he was strong in close combat, his Dao power was far inferior.

The Great Celestial Venerable continuously improved the flaws in the cultivation technique, and the Nine Paths of Innate Wisdom became increasingly stronger, with the various Great Daos working together in perfect harmony.

However, at this time, Li Yanchu also comprehended some flaws in the Nine Paths of the Innate during his battle with the Great Celestial Venerable, and refined the parts that he had originally practiced crudely.

During their duel, the two constantly deduced the Daoist principles, a talent that even the two envoys from the Daoist realms greatly envied.

Those who were able to enter the Dao Domain for cultivation were already top figures in their respective universes.

Although not among the top in the Dao Domain, he was still far superior to ordinary disciples; otherwise, he wouldn't have been sent to the Star Sea.

At this moment, Chen Sui couldn't help but say with emotion, "With the addition of these two people who cultivate the Nine Paths of Innate Proof, the Nine Paths of Proof can be carried forward in my Dao Domain, and more and more people will achieve it."

Yu Shu said, "I hope that the two of them will not hold back and will hand over their cultivation techniques."

At this point, he had given up on the idea of ​​stopping the two from going to the Dao Domain, and instead began to think about obtaining their cultivation techniques.

Chen Sui smiled slightly: "Once they go to the Dao Domain, they will have no choice but to pay, whether they want to or not."

Yu Shu suddenly turned to look at Chen Sui, and sighed, saying, "Junior Sister, I am far inferior to you."

Only then did he realize Chen Sui's true intentions. He had initially thought that Chen Sui had developed a love for talent and wanted to help the two people, but he hadn't expected that she had thought much further and more deeply.

For a moment, Yu Shu couldn't help but feel a bit more wary of this seemingly aloof junior sister.

Chen Sui smiled slightly: "Senior brother, you flatter me. Let's wait and see. This great calamity in the alien realm will not end so quickly, and there may still be changes in this battle."

Yu Shu nodded slightly, turning his attention back to the battle between the two, attempting to glean the mysteries of the Nine Paths of the Innate. At this moment, the Great Celestial Venerable unleashed a palm strike at Li Yanchu, forcing him to retreat continuously.

His palm strike was extremely powerful, with nine energy channels constantly circulating within his palm.

Blood began to seep from Li Yanchu's eyes, ears, mouth, and nose. His internal organs were compressed and displaced, and his entire body's Dao was showing signs of becoming disordered.

The Great Celestial Venerable said loudly, "You must repay the karmic debt of Heaven and Earth! Your Nine Paths of Primordial Innate are nothing more than this; you will ultimately not escape this great calamity."

After saying that, he punched Li Yanchu, sending him flying.

Li Yanchu retreated a hundred feet, and the surrounding void was stretched and turbulent, making it seem as if the Great Celestial Venerable had the upper hand.

At this moment, everyone looked at the long sword in the hand of the Great Celestial Venerable. Nine paths flowed on the long sword, especially the three Great Daos of Slaughter, Annihilation, and Calamity, which looked extremely terrifying.

At this moment, the Great Celestial Venerable thrust his sword at Li Yanchu, the sword light influencing countless Daos.

The Great Dao of the Otherworld had not yet completely collapsed. This sword, carrying rolling flames of annihilation, slashed towards Li Yanchu, seemingly about to cause the first genius of the Chaotic Star Sea to perish.

Li Yanchu was forced to retreat continuously by the sword light.

Just then, from beyond the foreign land, someone suddenly appeared. He seemed to have come from the barbaric and ignorant era of creation. His body was filled with boundless Dao power and extremely heavy Dao fortune.

He was dressed in a blue Taoist robe, and his face was identical to Li Yanchu's.

After he arrived at Li Yanchu's side, he struck out with his palm, blocking the unparalleled sword strike.

The Great Celestial Venerable frowned deeply: "The Dao Body? Or the Past Body?"

He couldn't detect the slightest aura from Li Yanchu and couldn't tell for a moment.

Not only him, but the three supreme rulers of the foreign lands also failed to notice anything amiss at this time.

Even the two Dao Domain envoys couldn't tell at the moment whether it was a Dao Body or something else.

But at this moment, another figure arrived from beyond the foreign land, travel-worn and equally powerful.

Then, in an instant, figures appeared one after another, and the sky was filled with Li Yanchu's figure.

These figures simultaneously threw punches and kicks, shattering the Great Celestial Venerable's annihilating sword light.

At this moment, Li Yanchu's figure was everywhere. Even the Great Celestial Venerable felt his scalp tingle and exclaimed in surprise, "You actually hid so many Dao bodies!"

Li Yanchu said, "You call yourself the Lord of the Great Dao? The Lord of the Great Dao is the Great Dao itself, so how can you talk about a Dao Body?"

At this moment, all the Li Yanchus spoke in unison, their voices booming like bells.

The Great Celestial Venerable frowned upon hearing this.

The three Dao Masters also looked puzzled, but Yu Shu and Chen Sui from the Dao Domain showed surprise in their eyes.

Li Yanchu's words were so bold that even those of them from the Dao Domain, a place of high Daoist cultivation, couldn't help but be stunned, yet they also vaguely sensed something amiss.

Li Yanchu said, "Today I will settle all this and kill all my enemies. Great Heavenly Venerable, you will not be the first to fall today. You will not be lonely on the road."

Suddenly, all those Li Yanchus in the sky merged into one.

The Dao within Li Yanchu was also constantly surging.

The Great Dao of Chaos! The Great Dao of Primordial Chaos! The Great Dao of Limitless Limits! The Great Dao of Supreme Unity! The Great Dao of Reincarnation! The Great Dao of Cause and Effect! The Great Dao of Slaughter! The Great Dao of Calamity! The Great Dao of Annihilation! The Dao landscapes of the Nine Primordial Daos emerged.

When Li Yan first attained the status of the Lord of the Nine Primordial Daos of all universes, his aura underwent a terrifying change.

This is the method of merging with the Dao that he comprehended, which involves splitting his own Great Dao and sending it to the vast universe to refine the Great Dao.

This is an extremely large undertaking, and Li Yanchu cannot utilize these separated Great Daos until they are completely refined.

Therefore, he has always been in a state of incomplete understanding of the Great Way.

Now that the great calamity has broken out in another realm, Li Yanchu, although he has not yet fully mastered the three great paths of time, space, and martial arts, cannot afford to worry about much else.

While he was fighting the Great Celestial Venerable, the Nine Innate Paths were constantly evolving, and the speed at which he refined the Nine Innate Paths greatly increased.

Therefore, at this moment, the nine Great Daos were mobilized to come to this place, and the Daos merged back into one.

The Great Celestial Venerable felt the immense pressure and was constantly forced backward. His bones creaked and groaned as if they were about to break.

He suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood, which vaporized before it could even spread.

Li Yanchu's Dao power was truly too profound. As the saying goes, "one force can overcome ten techniques." The strength of the Dao power that Li Yanchu, who had always been considered the weakest in terms of Dao power, displayed at this moment was simply astonishing.

Previously, while he was engaged in a fierce battle with the Great Celestial Venerable, he was also distracted by refining the Great Dao and constantly maintaining the Chaos Void.

That's right, he used the Chaos Void treasure to enter the vast universe, which is why he was able to return so quickly.

At this moment, the void within his body looked like a complete cosmic origin, constantly evolving.

The Nine Primordial Daos are the beginning, and then countless Daos are continuously deduced, making the Daos in the entire Chaotic Universe extremely rich.

With this medium, the power of Dao that Li Yanchu displayed at this time made even the Great Celestial Venerable feel somewhat alarmed.

The Great Celestial Venerable also realized something was wrong. He was exceptionally knowledgeable and could see that Li Yanchu's Dao power had become extremely terrifying after he merged with the Dao.

However, the Great Celestial Venerable harbored some resentment.

"He has just achieved Dao, so there must be some flaws in his abilities. Although his Dao power is strong, it cannot be controlled as easily as an arm. This is a good opportunity to break his Great Dao!"

The Great Celestial Venerable's gaze darkened, and he mobilized his Dao power to condense it onto the Dao sword in his hand, stabbing it madly towards Li Yanchu.

This sword strike had the potential to cleave the entire alien realm in two.

In an instant, the three great paths of slaughter, calamity, and annihilation from another realm converged upon him, adding much power to his sword strike.

As the sword was thrust forward, everyone held their breath.

No one was confident they could withstand such a devastating sword strike.

The two envoys from the Dao Domain were also somewhat shaken at this moment.

Yu Shu said in shock, "The Great Celestial Venerable's talent is truly astonishing. Moreover, he is a very intelligent person. After entering the tribulation, he became the executor of the great tribulation. At this moment, the power of annihilation he mobilizes is much more powerful than that of Li Yanchu."

Chen Sui also held her breath. She was originally prepared to use her magic to save one of the two when they were fighting fiercely, so as to prevent any casualties.

However, Chen Sui hesitated when faced with the Great Celestial Venerable's sword.

Even if she were to go up there, she might not be able to withstand such a sword light.
