Chapter 1908: Seizing the treasure
These tens of thousands of universes, along with the old Earth universe, eventually transformed into a massive cosmic remnant, filled with bizarrely shaped, sword-like peaks, creating an extremely oppressive atmosphere.

No trace of the old soil can be seen here anymore.

To Li Yanchu’s surprise, the statue was not completely burned; it remained undying amidst the terrifying flames of annihilation.

For some reason, Li Yanchu seemed to see a life coming to life in the eyes of the statue guarding the ancient land.

"hiss!"

Li Yanchu's hair stood on end instantly.

The entire old land fell into silence.
But at the same time, the statue seemed to come alive...

The massive remains of the entire Old Earth Universe were gradually pushed by the power of the Void Dao and floated into the depths of the Great Void.

Li Yanchu could no longer see any trace of what he had once seen here. The six kings of the old land, the twenty-four divine generals, the civil and military officials, Shang Rongjun, Gu Xiuyuan and others had all fallen into oblivion and were powerless to escape.

Although Li Yanchu's stance differed from these people, he couldn't help but feel a little unsettled.

Only the tall and majestic statue still stands there.

Li Yanchu observed it here for more than a month and found that the statue really possessed a kind of vitality.

Li Yanchu was eager to see how this matter would unfold.

It seems that someone can arrange Bai Junwu's life and death. He had also discussed this with Fang Youqing and suspected that Bai Junwu was just an incarnation of the First Emperor.

Although it is extremely powerful that a single avatar can suppress the Great Void, the First Emperor created the Old Land, and he was originally a powerful figure who could not be fathomed by ordinary reason.

.........

Now the statue is showing signs of revival.

Not only Li Yanchu, but also the Lord of the Dao Domain and others were watching from afar in the void.

The grand event of the ancient land entering stillness had enhanced everyone's understanding of the Dao of Nirvana.

But no one found this strange.

The cosmic calamity in the Old Earth was intense, and it took dozens of emperors risking their lives to stabilize it. However, it only intensified and has now become uncontrollable. It would be strange if a calamity didn't erupt in this place.

Everyone except the Old Earth seemed to benefit from this cataclysmic annihilation. They eliminated a powerful enemy, witnessed a grand cosmic annihilation, and greatly improved their understanding of the Great Dao of Annihilation.

Such things are naturally joyful; everyone minds their own business and who cares about the annihilation of other universes?

Gradually, more and more people came here.

Li Yanchu discovered that a cosmic spiritual root had been born from this enormous cosmic debris.
This is a golden lotus flower, which grew rapidly and gradually bloomed in a very short time.

It was not a nascent cosmic spiritual root, but rather it matured rapidly.

The golden lotus swayed in the wind, giving people a very special feeling.

A rich aura of the Great Dao wafted outwards, captivating all who beheld it.

"The old universe dies and the new universe is born."

This thought suddenly popped into Li Yanchu's mind.

When that primordial treasure appeared last time, only a handful of people, including the Primordial Ancestor, the Dragon Ancestor, and the Lord of the Dao Domain, were present. But this time, the destruction of a vast ancient universe has attracted many powerful figures.

Just as the golden lotus was ripe, someone suddenly started to move.

Suddenly, an unpredictable river swept in, its waters containing the Great Dao of Reincarnation, swirling with Dao energy, causing countless living beings to rise and fall, directly attempting to engulf this cosmic treasure.

But the next moment, a burly giant with bulging muscles appeared.

This giant was filled with explosive power, standing tens of thousands of feet tall. It grew from the smallest to the largest, as if it had transformed from a spore into Mount Sumeru, and stepped onto the boundless river.

On the other side of the river was a powerful figure. The powerful figure's expression changed slightly. He had attained enlightenment through the Great Dao of Reincarnation. With a sudden wave of his hand, a ring of reincarnation rapidly spread outward, enveloping the muscular and burly giant.

But to everyone's surprise, the giant did not sink or float in his cycle of reincarnation; instead, he took a step forward.

As he took that step, the entire cycle of reincarnation suddenly trembled. He tore the cycle of reincarnation apart with both hands and roared.

The power of that roar instantly brought the powerful figure from the other side of the Boundless River down.
The next moment, blood seeped from the man's eyes, ears, nose and mouth.

With a single move, he knocked down the powerful figure who was activating the Boundless River, and then he reached out to grab the golden lotus.

But the next moment, a stream of light appeared, and four longswords converged in the air to form a sword array, enveloping him within it.

A cold-looking man appeared, with a long beard hanging down his chest, looking like a hermit.

At this moment, he calmly shouted: "Slash! Rupture! Destroy! Annihilate!"

As soon as those four words were uttered, the muscular giant's body was instantly shattered, his once invincible flesh collapsing into a pile of minced meat.

This person is wielding the Way of Slaughter. To cultivate the Way of Slaughter to such a level and infuse it into a sword formation, one's cultivation is truly unfathomable.

But he was still unable to take away this magical treasure.

One after another, many more people made their moves, and the crowd surged forward, creating a devastating battle in an instant.

There are some people here that Li Yanchu has met before, and some that he has never met at all. There are indeed quite a few experts hidden in the Great Void.

The old Taoist from the True Alliance made his move, and the whisk in his hand transformed into a huge white ribbon. Several powerful individuals who were vying for the prize were pierced through by the whisk and carried away by the current, as if strung with beads. After their bodies were pierced, they could not move and could only wail incessantly.

After receiving blessings from everyone, the old Taoist Qingxu said with a cold expression, "Treasures of heaven and earth belong to the capable. Anyone who wants to take them should carefully consider whether they can bear the enormous karma."

The old Taoist priest Qingxu's words were heard, but no one paid any attention to him.

After the destruction of the old universe, who would give up such a precious treasure that has been newly born?
"Cause and effect? ​​No matter how great the cause and effect, I can bear it all!"

At this moment, a bearded man appeared, holding a large sword. The sword had an ancient design and a long, narrow blade, similar to a horse-slaying sword. With both hands, he slashed down, instantly cutting a cultivator's body in two.

The old Taoist priest Qingxu's whisk came at him, but he flashed his blade and cut it in two.

The powerful figures who had been controlled by the old Taoist Qingxu also fell down, each glaring angrily.

Although they were somewhat wary of Master Qingxu, it didn't diminish their desire to kill him.

Anyone who dares to come here to steal treasure is no pushover.

Qingxu the old Taoist said, "Mu Nanhuai, having received guidance from the leader of my True One Alliance, has become a traitor, yet he still dares to show himself!"

Mu Nanhuai, the burly man with a bushy beard, held his broadsword and sneered, "The True One Alliance uses the name of rectifying the Great Void, but what they do are dark and despicable things. How are they any different from places like the Dao Domain and the Old Land? Although I received guidance from the leader of the True One Alliance, I have also shed blood and made contributions for the True One Alliance. Let bygones be bygones. Why bring up these things now?"

He had already reached Qingxu Laodao in the blink of an eye as he spoke, and his hands slashed down, the sharp, cold light reflecting off Qingxu Laodao's face. Qingxu Laodao immediately retreated.

A beautiful woman wielding two swords charged forward. She had her hair piled high and was dressed in palace attire, looking very dignified.

She blocked Mu Nanhuai's broadsword with her two longswords, and Mu Nanhuai's expression changed slightly.

Upon seeing the woman, he actually intended to turn around and leave. The beautiful woman in palace attire gave a coquettish reproach: "What a heartless man! He was so righteous just now, and now he wants to run away."

Mu Nanhuai said, "It's hardest to resist the kindness of a beautiful woman. I can't stay in the True Alliance any longer, and I will never go back."

The beautiful woman shouted and chased after him, brandishing her two swords.

Mu Nanhuai, who had been so arrogant and domineering, suddenly lost his arrogance and was chased around in a very sorry state.

Such scenes occur frequently, with people clashing and enemies meeting with intense hatred. But no matter who it is, their goal is the same: to seize this cosmic spiritual root.

Suddenly!

Suddenly, an incomparably powerful figure appeared. The Dragon Ancestor laughed and struck down with his palm, instantly clearing a large area of ​​empty space near the golden lotus.

Everyone was forced to move forward by his palm strike.

He was about to step forward and seize the cosmic spiritual root when someone in the crowd suddenly shouted, "You people are so domineering! You insist on robbing us of our fortune? Isn't possessing the True Heaven enough for you?"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone was filled with righteous indignation and unleashed their supernatural powers, catching the Dragon Ancestor off guard.

If the Dragon Ancestor hadn't temporarily captured a scapegoat who had just entered the Dao King realm, he would probably be seriously injured or even beaten to death by now.

Even if he were the Dragon Ancestor, he would have to be careful if he had incurred the wrath of the masses.

call out!
The Dragon Ancestor was beaten badly when a sword suddenly appeared from the sky.

The sword appeared out of thin air and landed on the Dragon Ancestor's head, piercing through him in the blink of an eye.

With a scream, the Dragon Ancestor lunged forward.

The sword pierced directly into his head and then into his lower abdomen.

The Dragon Ancestor's appearance was very strange. Although he was not killed by the sword, he looked like he was being controlled by someone else.

His face showed fear, and cold sweat poured down his back: "What kind of fellow Daoist is this, and why are you making a fool of me?"

The sword exuded an aura of desolation that frightened him, so he dared not be careless.

Li Yanchu immediately recognized the sword.

The long-lost national sword has unexpectedly reappeared at this time.

Overwhelmed with grief and indignation, the Dragon Ancestor cautiously tried to force the ancient sword away.
However, the Dao of Annihilation within this ancient sword is already connected to his Dao realm, and the slightest carelessness could lead to a devastating catastrophe that destroys his realm.

The Dragon Ancestor was truly devastated. He had originally intended to take advantage of the situation and seize the spiritual treasure while those powerful figures were still in the fray, but he had failed once again.

The Dragon Ancestor felt a deep sorrow: "Am I destined to be deprived of these treasures, and even suffer the consequences of being schemed against by others because of them?"

He also felt somewhat helpless. This national treasure sword had already brought back memories of that great terror, and he hadn't expected to encounter it under these circumstances.

Dragon Ancestor tried several times to force out the sword, but to no avail. The sword that protected the country not only ignored him, but also stabbed him deeper into his body.

As the Dragon Ancestor activated his cultivation technique, a vast and powerful aura of the Great Dao surged forth, extremely intense.

The sword that guards the nation can no longer pierce in; instead, it is being forced outward little by little!

Although there was no immediate danger to her life, she had no choice but to withdraw from the competition for the Golden Lotus.

The battle raged fiercely, with all sorts of supernatural abilities emerging and various innate spiritual treasures being unleashed, overwhelming everything in their path.

Suddenly, a figure shot out from the side; it was a simple, honest-looking man, like an old farmer.

He was Cao Yang, the leader of the True Alliance.

After he reached the vicinity of the Primordial Golden Lotus, he immediately took out the large banner.
Splash!
The banner shook violently, and for a moment everyone swayed. The sky seemed to collapse and the earth to tremble.

Anyone would feel fear when facing this primordial treasure.

The reason is simple: this magical treasure is far too powerful.

With the True Alliance leader wielding a primordial treasure, he was clearly the number one person in the Great Void.

"Wasn't this flag obtained by the Lord of the Dao Domain?" Li Yanchu's heart stirred.

Could something have happened later?
However, the moment he appeared, the Lord of the Dao Domain and the Primordial Ancestor joined forces to attack him.

The two stood on the left and right. The Dao Domain Lord's palm strike contained almost all the Great Daos in the world, numbering in the tens of thousands, while the Primordial Ancestor unleashed the Nine Paths of Proof, beginning with chaos and ending in annihilation.

The nine evidence-based techniques she employed appeared remarkably similar to Li Yanchu's approach.

It can only be said that there are many talented people in the world, and Li Yanchu is not the only one who can comprehend such a technique.

The Primordial Ancestor and the Lord of the Dao Domain attacked the True One Alliance Leader from the left and right. Before the True One Alliance Leader could activate the Primordial Treasure, he was suddenly struck by a violent blow, his ribs were broken, and he coughed up a mouthful of blood.

If the Dragon Ancestor hadn't been injured by the National Guardian Sword, he would have rushed out to snatch the spiritual treasure in an instant.

Unfortunately, his movements were slowed down by the restraining sword of the State, and just as he was rushing towards the banner with all his might, a figure suddenly swept past overhead.

With a forceful stomp, the Zhenguo Sword, which had been almost forced out, pierced even deeper into the body of the Dragon Ancestor.

"what!"

The Dragon Ancestor let out a miserable cry, spitting out a mouthful of blood that stained his chest, before collapsing to his knees.

The figure then leaped out and snatched the large flag.

No one expected this turn of events. It's remarkable that even the leader of the True Alliance, wielding a Primordial Treasure, could be injured by both the Lord of the Dao Domain and the Primordial Ancestor.
Moreover, Li Yanchu had just acquired this treasure.

The Lord of the Dao Domain struck back with his hand.

boom!
This palm strike was a primordial divine power, and Li Yanchu was instantly sent flying.

If Li Yanchu were still at the peak of the Dao King realm, he could barely withstand the attack. However, now that he has been burned by the Annihilation Heavenly Flame, he is only at the early stage of the Dao King realm and cannot resist it at all.
Soon, blood began to gush from his eyes, ears, mouth, and nose, and he could barely hold onto the large flag in his hand.

But at that moment, Li Yanchu suddenly unleashed an extremely ingenious fist technique.

This fist technique is very ancient and simple, and each punch contains many profound mysteries of the Dao.

This punch was remarkably similar to the primordial divine power that Li Yanchu had previously comprehended.

With a single punch, the two men's fists collided, and Li Yanchu's arm was instantly shattered.

But at the same time, he also seized the opportunity to leap out.

Yuanzu's attack had already begun, and she swung her palm back at Li Yanchu's throat.

All the past feelings seemed to have vanished at this moment, and no one could refuse the Primal Spiritual Treasure.

Li Yanchu held the large flag in one hand and kicked it with both feet.

Although he used close-combat techniques, they included nine proven methods and some primordial supernatural powers. His legs shot out in quick succession, kicking the primordial ancestor backward.
