Chapter 1869 The Fire Date Attains Enlightenment
At this time, Shao Hongjun's situation was extremely dangerous, as many imperial families and officials launched attacks against him.

Shao Hongjun not only has to fight against the threat from the True Era Heavenly Ruler Dragon Ancestor, but also has to face this terrible pressure.

An endless stream of Dao power surged from the black box, greatly enhancing Shao Hongjun's combat strength.

At this moment, every move he made exuded terrifying power, causing the void to tremble.

The Dragon Ancestor's actions were extremely domineering, constantly hovering around Shao Hongjun.

Shao Hongjun was under immense pressure. The black box contained great secrets that he had not yet deciphered, and it seemed extremely difficult to use it to fight against the Dragon Ancestor's enormous power.

But then, ancient Taoist language suddenly came from the black box, communicating with him.

Almost instantly, Shao Hongjun made his decision and made a trade with the powerful consciousness within the black box!
The next moment, the myriad paths beneath Shao Hongjun's feet continued to extend outwards, and Shao Hongjun's aura also rose steadily.

The Dragon Ancestor was the first to sense the abnormality of this aura, and the next moment he retreated, but he was still a step too late.

Suddenly, Shao Hongjun pressed down with one of his large hands, which contained boundless Dao light. All the imperial coffins fell into Shao Hongjun's large hand, and the Dragon Ancestor's body also fell in unconsciously.

The Dragon Ancestor was greatly surprised!

Shao Hongjun's cultivation level was roughly equal to his, and it would take some opportunity for the two to determine a winner. Today, he clearly had the upper hand, but he never expected that Shao Hongjun would have this trick up his sleeve.

His gaze fell on the black box, a greedy look appearing on his face; it must be related to this black box.

Shao Hongjun used his supernatural powers, causing all the imperial coffins and the powerful ruler of the True Heaven, the Dragon Ancestor, to fall into a special space-time.

Shao Hongjun gave Li Yanchu a deep look, then waved his hand to split a crack and said in a deep voice, "Go quickly, don't get entangled with people in the old land."

The next moment, a powerful yet gentle force entered Li Yanchu's body, pulling him down into the crack.

Many imperial clans and noble families felt a chill run down their spines, but a few elders of these clans roared, "Don't let him escape!"

The next moment, many imperial families and noble clans rushed into the rift to chase after Li Yanchu.

Li Yanchu moved extremely fast, propelled forward by that force until he fell into the vast void, at which point the force completely disappeared.

Li Yanchu stared blankly at the vast emptiness, a strong sense of sorrow welling up in his heart.

Even if Shao Hongjun finally unleashed the power of the black box, it was clear to everyone that he couldn't hold on for long.

Shao Hongjun helped Li Yanchu reclaim Jingjie and was of great kindness to Li Yanchu. Li Yanchu did not want him to perish, but he clearly could not participate in this battle.

Suddenly, Li Yanchu's expression changed.

The void rift gradually disappeared, but powerful auras emerged.

Elders of the imperial clan rushed out, but they were still affected by this special spacetime force.

With a thought, Li Yanchu unleashed his supernatural powers, using the technique of leaping through the void to continuously traverse and escape this place.

Shao Hongjun had previously opened a way out for him, but whether he could ultimately escape depended on whether he could survive the pursuit of the imperial clan.

Many powerful members of the imperial clans did their best to break free from the effects of the spatial turbulence and stabilize themselves as they chased after Li Yanchu.

Li Yanchu kept using the spatial jump technique. He was extremely fast, but soon he felt an extremely terrifying divine sense spreading over and piercing into the void.

Li Yanchu felt a chill in his heart.
The elder of the Tian family caught up with Li Yanchu.

A fierce glint appeared in his eyes as he said, "You outsider, this whole mess started because of you. I'm taking you back to apologize to the Grand Master!"

He then reached out and pressed down on Li Yanchu, his terrifying supernatural power spreading out, and the next moment Li Yanchu's body involuntarily fell into his supernatural power.

These clan elders are almost at the level of Dao Kings, and their supernatural powers are extremely strong.

Although Li Yanchu is also a Dao Lord, he is not yet at the Great Perfection of the Dao Lord realm, and his realm is far inferior to that of these elders.

He summoned the Divine Blade of Slaying the Dao and swung it, breaking through the air from the elder's divine power.

A strong killing intent flashed in the eyes of the Tian family elder; he would not let Li Yanchu escape today.

He waved his sleeve, and Li Yanchu fell into it.

However, the next moment, Li Yanchu directly offered up the jujube tree.

This jujube tree is a supreme treasure of the void. After Li Yanchu summoned it, countless branches extended outwards, like writhing dragons.

The void became a blade, and the divine blade struck down, instantly inflicting numerous injuries on the Tian family elder.

The elder of the Tian family was somewhat moved, and he suddenly exclaimed, "It's the jujube tree of the Taoist Mang!"

The jujube tree belonging to Daoist Mang was very famous in the Great Void, but today it appeared on Li Yanchu. The elders of the Tian family immediately suspected that Li Yanchu was colluding with Daoist Mang.

At this moment, he unleashed his divine power and charged forward. A peerless Dao sword pierced through the air and thrust towards Li Yanchu.

Li Yanchu was in an invincible position under the jujube tree.

The void transformed into a divine blade that relentlessly slashed down, cutting through the surrounding sword energy until it was shattered into dust.

He had not completely refined the jujube tree, but it was a magical artifact of the Daoist Mang, having been refined over countless billions of years.

Li Yanchu was able to match this clan elder even with only a fraction of his power.

The elder of the Tian family was furious. He made several attacks, but they were all neutralized by the jujube tree. At this moment, the members of the Tian family behind him also broke free from the void and followed the aura.

They shouted and joined the battle.

But then the elder of the Tian family suddenly shouted, "No!"

He can rival this jujube tree, but the Tian family is in great danger.

As expected, after Li Yanchu activated the Void Divine Blade, a member of the Tian family was immediately decapitated, blood gushing from his chest cavity. He screamed in agony as he was cleaved in four pieces by the blade's intent.

Another member of the Tian family rushed forward.
Their cultivation levels were originally comparable to Li Yanchu's, and some of them even had higher cultivation levels than Li Yanchu.

But after Li Yanchu activated the jujube tree, the Void Divine Blade struck down, and these members of the Tian family died tragically.

The Tian family elder was furious. He took out a large cauldron, from which dazzling Dao light burst forth.

This great cauldron is a treasure of the Taiyi Dao, and it now descends upon Li Yanchu, intending to trap him within it.

The Taiyi contains myriad paths, which Li Yanchu simply cannot match.

However, this jujube tree was a top-tier treasure in the vast void. A branch lashed out fiercely, instantly sending the large cauldron flying.
With a clang, the sound of a great bell resounded throughout the heavens and earth.

The elder of the Tian family shouted, "You killed my clansman, and you won't leave here alive today!" He had already decided to kill, completely disregarding whether he still wanted to take Li Yanchu back to the Grand Master of Ceremonies to be held accountable.

At this moment, he reached out and retrieved the cauldron, then summoned it again. The cauldron continued to grow larger, and countless forces surged out from it, rushing towards Li Yanchu like a torrent.

Li Yanchu felt immense pressure; it was already quite remarkable that he could unleash such power from the jujube tree with his cultivation level.

Although he possessed top-tier treasures from the Great Void, his cultivation level was still far inferior to that of this elder.

The elders of the Tian family seized the large cauldron and charged forward, causing Li Yanchu to have difficulty breathing.
But the next moment,
His figure suddenly vanished, hidden among the jujube trees. The Void Divine Blade slashed down, striking the cauldron and shattering the Great Dao of Taiyi.

Ignoring everything else, the elders of the Tian family withstood the attacks from the jujube tree and charged at Li Yanchu once again.

Li Yanchu's figure kept moving backward. Ignoring the loss of his Dao power, he suddenly raised the jujube tree.

The jujube tree unleashed its divine power, immediately knocking the Taiyi Cauldron backward. The elder of the Tian family was also struck so hard that he was dizzy and blood seeped from his eyes, ears, nose and mouth.

After that attack, Li Yanchu disappeared into the distance.

The jujube tree connects many universes. Although only the Jingjie universe is contained within the jujube tree, Li Yanchu was able to instantly teleport to a universe using this void jujube tree.

Seeing his figure disappear, the Tian family elder was extremely unwilling. Looking at the floating, broken corpses and limbs around him, his face was very ugly.

"Damn it!"

He was furious, and his divine sense instantly spread out, vast and powerful, relentlessly searching for Li Yanchu's whereabouts.

He not only cultivated the Great Dao of Taiyi, but also the Great Dao of Cause and Effect. At this moment, he used Taiyi to investigate cause and effect and search for any clues about Li Yanchu.

His cultivation level was higher than Li Yanchu's. Li Yanchu sensed that someone was tracking him using the Great Dao of Cause and Effect, so he immediately attacked using the Great Dao of Cause and Effect.

However, after several attempts, not only did they fail to uncover the opponent's supernatural abilities, but the opponent also managed to find out their true origins.

At this moment, Li Yanchu appeared in the Business Universe. This Business Universe was very vast, but soon a terrifying power of Dao invaded and instantly found Li Yanchu's whereabouts.

Li Yanchu felt a chill run down his spine; the cultivation level of this elder of the Tian family was far stronger than he had imagined.

At this moment, blood began to emanate from his body, and forcibly activating the jujube tree had greatly exhausted him.

Li Yanchu gritted her teeth and said angrily, "You don't want me to live? Fine, let's see who's more willing to risk it all!"

He then picked a live jujube from the jujube tree branch and swallowed it whole. Suddenly, the spiritual light within his body surged to an extreme.

The living jujubes in this jujube tree are treasures of the Great Dao. If Li Yanchu forcibly refines them, it is very likely to cause a backlash from the Great Dao, leading to his death and the dissipation of his Dao.

However, Li Yanchu made an astonishing move at this moment. He not only refined one of the live dates, but also took several more live dates and swallowed them in one go.

The jujubes tasted sweet upon tasting and quickly transformed into pure Dao energy, entering Li Yanchu's body.

Li Yanchu's Dao realm is constantly rising, but his realm is also very unstable at the moment, and it is very likely to collapse!

Li Yanchu left this business universe, unwilling to fight with anyone in this universe and implicate it.

At this moment, although the true form of the Tian family elder had not arrived, he mobilized the Great Dao of Cause and Effect in an attempt to eliminate Li Yanchu.

If Li Yanchu is erased from the path of cause and effect, then no matter how great his abilities are, he cannot be resurrected.

The Great Dao of Cause and Effect relentlessly attacked Li Yanchu, causing his memories to become somewhat hazy.

On the other hand, his cultivation of the Great Dao was improving rapidly. The Great Dao of Void was growing at a terrifying speed, and spiritual light was constantly gushing out from his eyes, ears, nose and mouth, like golden dragons. These golden dragons quickly transformed into pure power and returned to Li Yanchu's body.

Li Yanchu's body swayed precariously, unable to stand steadily, yet at this moment, his Dao was also unprecedentedly powerful.

The imperial families of the old lands were indeed extraordinary.

Li Yanchu originally intended to use the power of the Void Fire Date to fight to the death.
However, he sadly discovered that he was far inferior to the elder of the Tian family in strength, and that he had greatly underestimated the danger of refining the fire dates!
His body was on the verge of collapse, making it impossible for him to fight to the death.

"Not good!"

Li Yanchu's heart sank to the bottom in an instant.

However, he remained resolute and continued to mobilize his Dao power to fight back even at this moment.

The Great Dao of Cause and Effect is extremely mysterious; a slight misstep can lead to self-destruction. At this moment, the elders of the Tian family disregarded everything and were determined to fight Li Yanchu in the realm of cause and effect.

Li Yanchu's counterattacks, however, kept weakening. He had originally planned to forcibly enhance his Void Dao after refining the living jujube.

He then used the power of the void to elevate his causal path, but the increase in power was too fierce, making it difficult for him to withstand for a while, and his consciousness gradually became blurred.

Just then, a woman's voice appeared in his ear. The woman was dressed in white, her figure ethereal, like a goddess who did not partake in worldly affairs.

After looking Li Yanchu over carefully, she suddenly laughed: "Are all young people these days so reckless? They're treating the 'fire dates' of the 'Mang Dao Ren' like they're eating rice."

The next moment, she pointed her finger, her fingers exquisitely beautiful, her slender, jade-like fingers touching Li Yanchu's brow.

Li Yanchu immediately felt a powerful force of Dao enter his body, helping him to regulate the surging void Dao within him.

The woman's voice was very pleasant, and after her power entered Li Yanchu's body, his consciousness became much clearer.

However, he still couldn't see the woman's face clearly.

The woman asked curiously, "Why do you possess the power of the black box? Who exactly are you?"

But Li Yanchu was unable to reply to her at this moment.

The causal path of the Tian family elders kept attacking him, and Li Yanchu tried hard to see the woman's face clearly.

He tried to figure out who this woman was, but at that moment, it seemed as if there was an immeasurable distance between them. She appeared extremely close, but in reality, he couldn't get close at all.

The woman looked him over carefully, and seeing that she couldn't get a response from Li Yanchu,

The woman said, "Besides the power left by the black box, there is actually a rudimentary universe within you. Fool, since the power within you cannot be resolved, why not use this opportunity to completely open up the universe within you?"

Her voice was like heavenly music. When it reached Li Yanchu's ears, it was as if a lightning bolt had struck Li Yanchu's mind, cleaving through the fog in his head.

"The prototype of the universe—is she referring to a chaotic void?"

Li Yanchu suddenly realized.

He mobilized the Great Dao of Void, which transformed into a divine blade. This divine blade was incomparably sharp and slashed out fiercely.

Now that things have come to this, he has no time to think too much. He might as well take a desperate gamble and follow the woman's instructions to create a universe.
