Chapter 1926 Strange and Unorthodox Path

Grandmaster Tianyuan erupted in rage, frantically unleashing the Annihilation Heavenly Flame, intending to burn Li Yanchu to ashes.

Faced with such a terrifying attack, Li Yanchu was somewhat powerless to resist.

Although his sword flashes were powerful, his defense was far inferior.

Ancestor Tianyuan forcibly activated the Annihilation Heavenly Flame. Li Yanchu retreated again and again, but he was still shrouded in the heavenly flame.

The terrifying heavenly fire could incinerate a person at the Primordial Realm. Li Yanchu's current cultivation level was not at the Primordial Realm, so although his attack power was extremely strong, he could not withstand it.

Just then, the runes on his body lit up again, flowing rapidly like ripples in water. The light barrier on his body reappeared, now keeping the Annihilation Heavenly Fires out. No matter how fiercely the Annihilation Heavenly Fires burned, they did not incinerate Li Yanchu.

Looking at the reappearing light barrier, Li Yanchu felt a series of strange sensations.

These runes are an ancient Taoist scripture that records some special power emanating from that large bell.

Li Yanchu unconsciously activated it, then isolated the Annihilation Heavenly Fire, and breathed a sigh of relief.

The next moment, his gaze fell upon the Heavenly Origin Ancestor: "Old thief, today it's either you or me who dies!"

Li Yanchu slightly bent his knees, and the ground suddenly cracked open, with spiderweb-like cracks spreading in all directions.

Li Yanchu rushed forward and punched Tianyuan Ancestor, sending him staggering backward.

Just as he was about to retaliate, Li Yanchu delivered another slap, striking Tianyuan Ancestor's head hard.

Ancestor Tianyuan's old injuries recurred, and many parts of his body showed signs of being eroded by the Primordial Qi.

At that moment, Li Yanchu slapped his head to the side, leaving a red handprint on his face.

Ancestor Tianyuan felt extremely humiliated. It didn't matter that he was injured by Li Yanchu, but being slapped hard by Li Yanchu was the greatest insult to him.

At this moment, he was ready to fight Li Yanchu to the death, but the runes on that bell were too powerful. If he touched even a little bit of them, he would be instantly turned into primordial energy.

He was extremely frustrated at this moment, and his anxiety grew. He unleashed a variety of ingenious supernatural abilities, leaving Li Yanchu in awe.

For a true master of the Primordial Realm, Primordial Divine Power is readily available, and every gesture is imbued with the power of the Great Dao.

Li Yanchu was gradually at a disadvantage, but although he could not resist the power of Tianyuan Ancestor, Zhong Bi could keep him safe.

Seeing this, Li Yan stopped attacking Tianyuan Ancestor and instead kept charging at him, using the simplest attack method to rampage around.

Ancestor Tianyuan was so angry at Li Yanchu's shameless fighting style that he laughed. He collided with the bell again and again, and more and more parts of his body were transformed into primordial Dao Qi. Gradually, he was enveloped by primordial purple Qi.

Ancestor Tianyuan's heart sank; if things continued like this, he feared he was in grave danger.

This bell is not the truly powerful Yu Emperor Bell from back then, but it can still exert some of the power of the Yu Emperor Bell, and with just this power, it can injure him.

He coveted the Yu Emperor Bell, but there was nothing he could do about it, so he could only retreat.

Just then, a figure appeared in the empty Yu Realm.

The figure was covered with many large joints and strange patterns, making it look somewhat inhuman.

At this moment, when the Heavenly Origin Ancestor saw this powerful monster suddenly appear, his heart sank, and he immediately struck it with a palm.

Under the palm strike, the nine innate paths began to operate, starting from the Great Dao of Chaos and ending with the Great Dao of Annihilation. The nine paths operated in a mutually reinforcing and restraining manner, unleashing an extremely powerful primordial Dao force.

However, when he struck the terrifying humanoid monster with his palm, the monster easily neutralized the attack.

The Great Dao he unleashed easily neutralized the Great Dao of the Heavenly Origin Ancestor.

Ancestor Tianyuan felt a tremor in his heart. To be able to dissolve his Great Dao in a moment was something that even in the Primordial Forbidden Zone, very few people could probably do.

While he was somewhat surprised, he was immediately approached by that kind of human-monster.

This kind of monster only punched him in the lower abdomen, and he curled up.

The other party was using a path he had never seen before, which he would tentatively call an unorthodox path.

The sudden burst of this strange energy overwhelmed him; his face turned a deep purplish-red, and a burst of intense blood light erupted from the severed wound on his neck. He staggered backward, horrified, and immediately clutched his head as he fled frantically.

Fortunately, the humanoid monster did not pursue him, but simply watched the departing figure of the Heavenly Origin Ancestor.

Li Yanchu was also somewhat surprised. Just as he was about to chase after Tianyuan Ancestor, this kind of monster suddenly moved and attacked him again.

Li Yanchu's heart sank: "Whose side is this guy on? Why is he attacking everyone he sees?"

At this moment, Li Yanchu disregarded everything and activated the special light barrier, carrying a large bell as it crashed into the barrier.

This giant bell could dissolve the Taoist magic of the Heavenly Origin Ancestor into primordial chaos energy, but it did not have the same effect when it collided with this kind of monster. It only knocked the monster back a few steps.

Not only that, Li Yanchu felt his blood surging, and blood began to flow from many parts of his body. The runes were even torn apart.

Li Yanchu's heart sank: "This guy is really something!"

At this moment, the monster suddenly raised its hand and attacked Li Yanchu. The special runes on Li Yanchu's body seemed to interest it.

His five fingers were spread out, and sharp nails grew on them, each one like a sickle, which looked quite frightening.

At this moment, it reached out to grab Li Yanchu, but Li Yanchu's figure transformed into a golden light and swept away.

However, his grasp was extremely mysterious, as if it contained boundless space and time. Moreover, the special and unusual technique he used was very similar to the one used by the Mysterious Maiden True King that Li Yan had first seen, except that the technique was different and the power was greater.

Li Yanchu thought to himself, "Could he have some connection with the Mysterious Maiden True King?"

Li Yanchu was startled and was immediately struck by the palm strike. The light barrier around her body began to thin.

Suddenly, more than a dozen runes on Li Yanchu's body vanished completely, leaving only Li Yanchu's mangled body.

Li Yanchu's heart sank: "His supernatural powers and unorthodox methods can destroy the special runes on my body."

The origin of this rune is strange. He could use it to fight against a true Primordial Realm expert, and a complete Primordial Realm expert at that. But he didn't expect that after encountering such a monster, some of the runes would be erased immediately.

Li Yanchu was backing away, but he was still a little slow.

As soon as this kind of monster took a step, Li Yanchu's body froze and he didn't move.

Li Yanchu looked down and saw a huge Bagua diagram on the ground. This Bagua diagram was exactly the same as the Bagua diagram that Li Yanchu had cultivated, except that the power of this Bagua diagram was surprisingly great.

The moment Li Yan began to circulate the Nine Paths of the Primordial Chaos, the Eight Trigrams Great Dao was far inferior to the Chaos Great Dao and the Primordial Chaos Great Dao he cultivated; it was merely an ordinary Great Dao. However, the Eight Trigrams Great Dao used by these monsters in the Yu Realm was different.

Li Yanchu was frozen in place, and the nine paths shattered in an instant, breaking the nine paths of evidence.

Li Yanchu stared at the humanoid monster in disbelief.

The methods employed by the humanoid monster were beyond Li Yanchu's comprehension.

At this moment, the humanoid monster punched Li Yanchu again, sending him staggering backward and erasing the dozen or so runes on his body once more.

Li Yanchu's aura also rapidly weakened, and the light barrier around him grew increasingly dim.

Li Yan thought to himself, "If this continues, he will erase all the runes on my body, and I will not be able to escape his clutches."

Li Yanchu felt a surge of anxiety and summoned the Dao-Slaying Divine Blade.

This time, Li Yanchu did not activate the Nine Paths of the Primordial Chaos, but instead activated the Primordial Chaos Method.

The method he cultivated was also called the unorthodox path, but it was quite different from Su Qingyue's unorthodox path.

At this moment, the sword struck down, but this time it did not dissolve upon encountering the opponent's other paths, unlike the Nine Paths of the Primordial.

Li Yanchu's Dao-Slaying Divine Power collided with the divine powers of these monstrous beings, resulting in a thunderous boom.
These monsters were actually forced to retreat.

Li Yanchu's eyes lit up, and he immediately realized that his unorthodox cultivation method could counter the other party's unorthodox cultivation method.

At this moment, he swung his sword again, and a purple blade of light swept across, leveling all the mountain peaks and shattering the void in an instant.

These monsters then launched another attack.

The two were fighting purely on different paths.

The unorthodox path cultivated by Li Yanchu was also extremely advanced, even surpassing the Nine Innate Paths and the Great Dao of the Great Void where he resided.

At this moment, the two supernatural powers clashed, creating ripples that flattened countless mountain peaks.

A look of surprise and uncertainty appeared in the eyes of these monsters.

Li Yanchu's heart sank. He then realized that this kind of monster was an intelligent being, and definitely not just a creature that knew only how to kill.

"In other words, it blocked Ancestor Tianyuan before, and now it's blocking me. It's clearly for some special purpose."

The thought crossed Li Yanchu's mind. He tried to communicate with this kind of monster, saying, "This humble Taoist, Li Yanchu, has mistakenly entered this realm. I don't know where I have offended you?"

However, when this kind of monster suddenly opened its mouth, it spoke a strange Daoist language that Li Yanchu had never heard of before. After hearing it, the Great Dao within his body immediately became somewhat disordered, which frightened Li Yanchu so much that he immediately activated the Hunyuan Bu Er method to calm it down.

The two of them each said something, but neither could understand the other's meaning.

These monsters moved and charged at Li Yanchu once more.

This time, it used a special, unorthodox method. The Bagua diagram reappeared, and in an instant, countless billowing black smoke appeared before Li Yanchu's eyes. Flames rose from the ground within the black smoke, and countless gusts of wind transformed into great swords that slashed towards Li Yanchu.

In an instant, the light barrier around him was shattered, and the runes on Li Yanchu's body shattered one after another, causing him to grimace in pain.

He took a step forward, preparing to unleash the Dao-Slaying Divine Power once more, but the ground suddenly softened, and Li Yanchu sank deep into the mud.

The opponent unleashed the power of earth, fire, water, and wind, trapping Li Yanchu within, giving him the feeling that he was about to be killed at any moment.

Not only that, flames began to spread outward from Li Yanchu's eyes, ears, nose and mouth, and a special cool wind blew in from his Yongquan acupoint, heading straight for the Baihui acupoint on the top of his head.

Li Yanchu was somewhat shocked; the method the other party used truly surprised him.

Li Yanchu activated the Hunyuan Bu Er method, abandoning all supernatural transformations and fixing his body, thus stabilizing the Great Dao within his body and preventing it from being affected.

This time, Li Yanchu discovered that the light barrier of the Great Dao that he had activated had many holes and was covered in wounds, and that one-tenth of the runes on his body were gone.

Li Yanchu gave a wry smile: "Power that comes out of nowhere will indeed disappear in an absurd way."

Suddenly, Li Yanchu reached out and attacked. He found that no matter whether he activated the ancient Dao patterns, the Nine Daos of Innate that he had cultivated for many years, or the single Dao of Slaughter, the effect was not obvious. Only by activating the Primordial Unity Method could he compete with his opponent.

Li Yanchu activated his Dao-Slaying Divine Power, and a purple divine blade descended from the sky, its light shimmering.

The next moment, countless blades of light slashed towards these human-monsters.

The humanoid monster then unleashed its supernatural powers, extinguishing each of the sword flashes.

But the next moment, Li Yanchu's figure had disappeared. While slashing at it, he also slashed at the Bagua pattern under his feet.

Although the Bagua diagram extended infinitely outwards, seemingly capable of covering almost the entire Yu Realm, it could not stop Li Yanchu's Dao-Slaying Divine Power. As the blade light fell, it tore open a gap, and Li Yanchu immediately soared into the sky.

The light barrier around his body couldn't disappear immediately, and Li Yanchu didn't know how to activate it, so he naturally couldn't put it away either.

At this moment, the bright light wall made him stand out in the dark universe.

Those monsters watched Li Yanchu's departing figure, but unlike when they watched the Heavenly Origin Ancestor leave, they did not stop him.

At this moment, it took a step forward and uttered a Daoist phrase whose meaning was unknown, causing the Great Dao within Li Yanchu's body to tremble. However, this tremor only lasted for a moment before being smoothed out by the Primordial Dao within Li Yanchu's body.

These monsters caught up with him, and Li Yanchu felt a chill run down his spine: "Why is this guy acting like a madman? He didn't chase after Master Tianyuan this fiercely when he was fleeing."

At this moment, Li Yanchu did not know what this guy's intentions were. He only felt that this humanoid monster's strength was unfathomable, and even the Heavenly Origin Ancestor was far inferior to him.

At that moment, he fled frantically into the distance.

The two continued their pursuit, appearing amidst the mountains and above the stars.

Sometimes Li Yanchu would appear on desolate planets, and sometimes at the bottom of the abyss, but without exception, he would be found by these kinds of monsters.

Li Yanchu was somewhat surprised: "Isn't there no living beings in this Yu Realm? Why would such a monster appear?"

At this moment, Li Yanchu ventured into the mountains, which were deathly silent and devoid of any living beings.

But the next moment, Li Yanchu's heart sank. There was a humanoid monster sitting in the middle of these mountains.

It sat high on a mountaintop, cross-legged, with its palms facing upwards, seemingly using the most authentic meditation method of breathing and exhalation.

However, its joints are rough and covered with bone spurs, making it look like an ancient god.

At this moment, Li Yanchu rushed into the mountains. The monster suddenly opened its eyes, and golden light burst forth from them. Li Yanchu felt a chill envelop him: "Damn it!"
