Chapter 1840 Slaying the Dao Lord

The Great Celestial Venerable thrust out his sword, and this peerless sword light swept down, crushing down the power of the nine innate Dao paths.

Li Yanchu stood still, reached out and drew his sword. The sword light shone brightly, the Great Dao was vast and boundless, and boundless Dao power erupted. The sword light of the Great Celestial Venerable was actually cleaved in two, and the Dao-Slaying Divine Blade flowed upward against the current.

The Great Celestial Venerable's face showed horror: "Impossible!"

He never expected that his most prized sword strike would be countered by Li Yanchu with a single blow.

As the blade slashed through the Great Celestial Venerable's body, he remained in disbelief. The alien realm was plunged into a cataclysmic calamity; what was originally a chaotic place was now eerily calm.

The Dao Lords all looked horrified.

The Great Celestial Venerable said unwillingly, "You should not be my opponent. You need to repay the karma of heaven and earth. I am the executor. I should not have lost this battle!"

As soon as the Great Celestial Venerable finished speaking, a crack appeared from his brow to his crotch, from which boundless Dao light burst forth.

He let out a miserable scream, his breath weakened to the extreme, and his life force was rapidly fading away.

In the end, he lost this battle.

Despite his voluntary entry into stillness, which allowed him to mobilize more of the three great powers of calamity, annihilation, and slaughter, and despite his enlightenment of extraordinary supernatural abilities in that desolate land, he ultimately lost.

The Great Celestial Venerable's eyes dimmed as he recalled the events of the past, which flashed rapidly through his mind.

Just then, an apricot tree appeared, and under the apricot tree stood a Taoist priest dressed in simple clothes.

The Taoist priest reached out and scooped up the Great Celestial Venerable in his palm.

The Great Celestial Venerable's form rapidly shrank, becoming only three inches in size.

Upon the appearance of this Taoist priest, the two envoys from the Dao Domain, Yu Shu and Chen Sui, were immediately surprised.
Unexpectedly, just as the battle was about to end, this elusive and unpredictable Taoist priest appeared.

The arrogant Taoist said, "Are you two just going to watch these two geniuses fight to the death without stopping them?"

Although the Daoist Mang did not look at the two envoys from the Dao Domain, the two of them suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

The two appeared at the same time and said in unison, "This disciple is filled with trepidation!"

The Taoist priest said, "Enough. If you are disciples of my palace, then strip your Taoist cultivation. Act with impartiality and do not be too selfish."

After reprimanding the two Daoist envoys, the Mang Daoist looked at Li Yanchu with a gentle gaze and a beaming smile.
"Now that this matter is settled, I would like to invite you to the Dao Domain for a chat. I hope you will not refuse."

As he spoke, he bowed to Li Yanchu.

The two envoys from the Dao Domain were shocked by what they saw. They exchanged a glance, unable to believe it.

The Taoist priest was surprisingly polite.

In their view, it was already astonishing that the Taoist was willing to take Li Yanchu as his disciple, but now he was treating him like a fellow Taoist.

Although Li Yanchu wanted to kill the Great Celestial Venerable, he knew that he was blocked by the mysterious and powerful Daoist Mang and would probably not succeed.

Li Yanchu said in a deep voice, "I will consider whether or not to go to the Dao Domain. Thank you for your kindness, fellow Daoist."

"What a fine fellow Daoist," Yu Shu thought to himself, "You've really elevated your seniority far too much."

The Daoist Mang said, "With your talent, our Dao Domain will value you highly and will never persecute you. But from what you've said, it seems you are unwilling to go to the Dao Domain?"

Li Yanchu said, "The Dao Domain has profound Daoist techniques, but it is still an unfamiliar place. If I were to go there, I would first go and seek refuge with you, fellow Daoist."

Upon hearing this, the Taoist priest smiled slightly: "Young friend, you are indeed determined and will not be forced by others. I am inviting you today out of good intentions. However, I also know that once this matter is settled, you will definitely come."

Before Li Yanchu could speak, the Taoist priest left with a smile.

Yu Shu and Chen Sui exchanged a surprised glance, then disappeared, never to be seen again. It was unclear whether they had left or were simply watching the show from the sidelines.

After this powerful figure from overseas disappeared, the atmosphere at the scene finally returned to normal, but the alien realm was still mired in an uncontrollable catastrophe.

With the powerful enemy gone, the three Dao Lords exchanged glances. Dao Lord Shi said, "Why don't we find a way to overcome this calamity now and let others repay the karma of heaven and earth? Only then will we have a chance to survive."

The leader of the Taoist sect nodded slightly and said, "That's exactly what I was thinking too. Let's not delay."

But the next moment, Li Yanchu suddenly said, "Are you all discussing this as if no one else is around? Do you really think I don't exist?"

Master Shi said, "You have a grudge against the Great Celestial Venerable. Now that he has been taken away, why bother fighting with us again?"

Li Yanchu said, "You have tried to kill me more than once, and you have led the alien realm to commit evil and wreak havoc on the vast universe. No matter how you look at it, I must get rid of you."

The three Dao Masters were all somewhat frightened when they saw Li Yanchu's knife strike, but now that the pretense of civility had been broken and there was no way to avoid it, Dao Master Chen suddenly said sternly, "Why waste words with him? It's too late to persuade him to switch sides, kill him!"

The three of them were no ordinary people either. They could tell that Li Yanchu's Dao power was profound and could not be easily controlled.

And after fighting against an unparalleled powerhouse like the Great Celestial Venerable, how could there be no damage?

It is highly likely that Li Yanchu is only appearing strong now, but in reality he has already suffered Dao injuries.

The three Dao Masters' seemingly indifferent discussion was also a test of Li Yanchu. If Li Yanchu backed down, they would pursue and kill him.

Despite Li Yanchu's firm stance, they had no choice but to kill him amidst the chaos; otherwise, the three of them might not have survived this ordeal.

Even if they manage to get through it, they will be severely weakened and will be unable to do anything to Li Yanchu.

The three were focused on killing Li Yanchu, and Li Yanchu moved in unison, charging forward as well.

The combined efforts of the three Dao Masters are extraordinary.

At this moment, Master Chen reached out and attacked, the countless spiritual flames transforming into a long spear, its shadow filling the sky.

Li Yanchu's figure clashed with the shadows of spears as he swung his hand down, severing all the spears in the sky.
Master Chen was also wounded by Li Yanchu and retreated, utterly horrified.

As the divine powers of the Stone Dao Master and the Pivot Dao Master fell, Li Yanchu waved his palms, one to the left and one to the right, to meet them head-on.

In an instant, both the Stone Dao Master and the Guan Dao Master were forced to retreat.

In a short time, Li Yanchu defeated the three Dao Lords, displaying unparalleled sharpness and domineering aura.

Master Chen shouted sternly, "Kill him! We can't let him..."

Suddenly, Li Yanchu appeared in front of Master Chen.

Master Chen abruptly stopped speaking and quickly retreated.
"I have refined the power of the Great Thousand Universe. You think you can kill me so easily?"

But before he could finish speaking, a head had already flown high into the air.

Li Yanchu waved his hand, and the indestructible Dao-Slaying Divine Blade shattered Chen Daozhu's body.

Chen Daozhu's flesh and blood contained his consciousness and his Dao, but at this moment, his connection with the vast universe was severed.

After losing the support of the vast universe, he quickly turned into an ordinary peak Dao Lord, powerless to fight against Li Yanchu, and was terrified.

Standing amidst the swirling blood mist, Li Yanchu coldly said, "Killing you normally would indeed take some effort, but today is different. With this great calamity, you are doomed."

As Li Yanchu finished speaking, boundless Dao power erupted, and the Annihilation Heavenly Fire burned fiercely, causing Master Chen to scream in agony.

In just a moment, it was refined into ashes, the Great Dao was completely obliterated, and there was no possibility of resurrection.

Upon seeing that Master Chen had been killed, both Master Guan and Master Shi were somewhat surprised, and at the same time, a chill enveloped them.

They had always been at the highest point in the alien realm. Although Li Yanchu rose to power later, they had been defeated, but they had never died.

Killing a Dao Lord is extremely difficult, and killing a Dao Lord of their level is even more difficult.

None of the three Dao Masters were confident they could kill each other. But today, Li Yanchu did just that. In just a moment, Dao Master Chen died and his Dao vanished, with no possibility of resurrection.

The Stone Dao Master and the Guan Dao Master exchanged a glance, both showing expressions of shock.

The next moment, Li Yanchu raised the tip of his blade, pointing it directly at the two Dao Lords.

"You two need not be afraid. My blade is very sharp. Today, I will send you both on your way."

The Daoist Master had a thought and immediately retreated.

Normally, he would have already plunged into the chaotic sea of ​​stars, but now escaping into it would be tantamount to waiting for calamity to catch up and be refined to death by the Annihilation Heavenly Fire.
Therefore, he hesitated for a moment, only stepping back but not leaving completely.

But in that short moment of hesitation, Li Yanchu had already reached him.

The Dao Master mobilized the power of the Great Thousand Universe and unleashed the Chaotic Star Gate to attack Li Yanchu.

The Chaos Star Gate was like a sword sheath, from which endless sword light burst forth. He had poured all his power into this innate spiritual treasure, and the power that the Chaos Star Gate was displaying at this moment was truly awe-inspiring.

But amidst this overwhelming sword light, a blade of light suddenly shone forth.
This strike was like severing the Great Celestial Venerable's peerless sword, cutting off the Dao Master's divine power.

This is Li Yanchu's Dao-Slaying Technique!

After achieving Dao integration, Li Yanchu had abundant Dao power to support him, allowing him to unleash the full power of this move.

Sever all the great paths under heaven!

When Guandao Master was struck by this blade, not only was his connection with Hunxing Sect severed, but his own Dao was also cleaved open.

Unlike Guan Daozhu, Shi Daozhu wanted to escape into the sea of ​​stars in an instant.

In his view, even if the Great Calamity of Annihilation caught up with him, there would still be room for maneuver, but if Li Yanchu came to kill him, he would definitely be in grave danger.

However, after making his choice, he hoped that Guan Daozhu could delay for a while longer, so he did not join forces with Guan Daozhu and Guan Daozhu just now.

But to everyone's surprise, Guandao Master was so incompetent that he was killed by Li Yanchu in a single exchange.

Li Yanchu mobilized the Great Dao, and the Annihilation Heavenly Fire surged and spread, refining away all the Great Dao imprints of the Dao Master.

All of this may sound slow, but it actually happens in the blink of an eye.

With the death of the Guandao Master and the dissipation of his Dao, Li Yanchu had already set off to catch up with the Shi Dao Master.

Master Shi was surprised.

He unleashed all the innate spiritual treasures in his hand at Li Yanchu, leaving only a halberd in his hand.

Li Yanchu's Dao power surged to its limit as he weaved among these spiritual treasures, causing them to sway and tilt.

As his blade flashed, the connection between these spiritual treasures and the Stone Dao Master was severed, and all the restrictions were broken.

Li Yanchu waved his hand and collected all the magical treasures.

However, the spiritual treasure that the Stone Dao Master used did have some effect, and he flew a long distance away. But the next moment, Li Yanchu suddenly leaped out of the void.

He leaped out, and his blade flashed down, striking right in front of the Stone Dao Master.

The Stone Dao Master was horrified and swung his halberd to meet the attack. But the next moment, the halberd fell to the ground, his head flew high into the air, his Dao blood gushed out, and his Great Dao was severed.

Li Yanchu seized the opportunity to unleash the Annihilation Heavenly Fire, annihilating it.

After achieving Dao Integration, Li Yanchu possessed immense and powerful Dao energy, killing three Dao Lords in succession and completely obliterating them.

At this time, the great calamity of destruction in the alien realm was coming to an end. Although the three Dao Lords had perished, it was to no avail and did not slow down the process.

Li Yanchu leaped out, and with his current Dao power, he could withstand this great calamity after circulating the Nine Paths of Proof.

He watched coldly as the foreign land fell into destruction.

The immense karma of this foreign land should have led to its long ago being reduced to ashes.

Li Yanchu observed from the sidelines as such a powerful universe fell silent.

This is the final stage of the universe's journey from birth to destruction, and its path of annihilation is thus elevated to a higher level.

The killing of three Dao Lords fueled his bloodlust, and witnessing the Great Calamity of Annihilation and the eruption of his destiny...
This also greatly enhanced his destiny and the path of annihilation.

Li Yanchu stood in the void, and several days passed by unnoticed.
When he awoke from his state of enlightenment, the otherworldly realm had already vanished.

The karma from that other realm was so immense that it had been completely purified here, leaving not a trace of remains. It was as if everything had been erased, as if it had never existed in the world at all.

This is the place Li Yanchu has seen so far that has been most thoroughly wiped out by the Great Cataclysm of Annihilation.
There was no trace of its existence; it vanished completely.

Originally, the Otherworld was just a powerful large universe. Later, it continuously enslaved large universes, plundered resources, plundered Taoist arts, and plundered talents, which eventually developed into a behemoth like a snowball rolling downhill.

But now this behemoth has vanished into thin air, completely disappearing into the river of history, becoming a thing of the past.

Li Yanchu breathed a sigh of relief and hurried towards Jingjie.

Everything he did was to protect the entire world.

But the next moment, Li Yanchu's expression changed. In the vast sea of ​​stars, he could not find any trace of Jingjie!

Li Yanchu said in disbelief, "This is impossible, absolutely impossible!"

The Jingjie and the Yiyu are adjacent and have almost been stranded. In order to make the calamity of the Yiyu erupt, he did not try to kill Guan Daozhu and Chen Daozhu, but left them until the last moment, which was for this reason.

But after the destruction of the alien realm, Jingjie disappeared into the sea of ​​stars!
Li Yanchu spread his divine sense, traversing the vast universe, constantly searching for Jingjie's whereabouts.

However, more than ten days later, Li Yanchu withdrew his divine sense and found no trace of Jing Jie. Li Yanchu was terrified.

"What exactly happened? Wasn't it the alien realm that was caught by the Cataclysmic Annihilation? What does its disappearance have to do with my Realm?"

Recalling the voices and smiles of Fang Youqing and the others, Li Yanchu felt as if a piece of her heart had been ripped out.

Li Yanchu's invincible and spirited demeanor had vanished at this moment, replaced by a somewhat dejected air.

After several days of this muddled existence, Li Yanchu suddenly heard a sigh.
"Young friend, you are also a person with a tragic fate."

Li Yanchu turned his head sharply, and it was Yu Xiantian who was speaking.

At this moment, Yu Xiantian wore the Heavy Light Sword at his waist. He was an old man with profound Daoist fortune and an ancient and peculiar appearance, whose gaze gave people a sense of compassion.

Li Yanchu's eyes flashed with a fierce light: "You did it! Where is Jing Jie?"

Yu Xiantian said, "If I were in my prime, I would indeed have the ability to refine an entire universe, but now I simply cannot do it."

Li Yanchu said, "If it's not you, then who is it?"

He was so shaken these days that he hadn't thought about the matter carefully.

He had witnessed Yu Xiantian's attack that day. Although it was powerful, it was not enough to make such a vast realm disappear without a trace.

Yu Xiantian said, "Actually, you saw Jing Jie that day."

Li Yanchu exclaimed in surprise, "What? Explain yourself more clearly, which day?"

Yu Xiantian said, "That day, when Daoist Mang rescued the Great Celestial Venerable, Jingjie was in the apricot tree behind him, but it was hidden by the leaves, so you didn't see it clearly."

Li Yanchu's expression immediately changed: "What did you say!"
