Chapter 1941 Returning to the Imperial Mausoleum
Li Yanchu activated his Dao-Slaying Divine Power to confront the primordial being within the Dark Forbidden Zone.

The instant the blade pierced the prayer beads, Li Yanchu swung his blade again, and countless blade lights transformed into an unparalleled divine blade, slashing into his Dao Domain.

This powerful cultivator at the Primordial Realm unleashed his full power, causing a vast and surging force to crash into Li Yanchu.

Under Li Yanchu's blade, the starry sky shattered and the universe cracked open.

Finally, all the light in the world disappeared.

The being in the Primordial Realm collapsed to the ground, his body split in two, and he vanished from life and death in an instant.

Everyone was shocked, and they immediately unleashed their full power to attack Li Yanchu.

Especially the Donghua Ancestor, who raised his hand and unleashed a beam of profound light, instantly knocking Li Yanchu back, leaving a shattered passage in the void behind him.

With a forceful clench of his five fingers, the Old Ancestor Donghua unleashed countless weapons from the passage. These weapons, imbued with a powerful killing intent, instantly engulfed Li Yanchu.

Just when the Donghua Patriarch thought he had killed Li Yanchu with a single blow, Li Yanchu swung his long saber, the blade shimmering and shattering the weapons, breaking free from the overwhelming killing intent.

The Old Ancestor Donghua said, "You are just as detestable as that Taoist in green, except that he died at my hands. Now you are too weak, and even less so."

He struck Li Yanchu with his palm.

Li Yanchu knew that the power of the Donghua Ancestor's palm strike was so strong that even Ye Zi couldn't find the flaw in his technique in a short time, so naturally Li Yanchu's divine eyes couldn't either.

In an instant, Li Yanchu unleashed a slash, the blade light dissipating most of the power of Donghua Patriarch's palm strike. Li Yanchu then withstood the blow and ran backward with all his might.

Ye Zi's heart skipped a beat. Seeing Li Yanchu's resolute face, she blurted out, "Handing me over to them can slow down their pace in catching up with you."

Li Yanchu said, "This is no longer your problem. I will deal with this guy sooner or later. It's a pity that I am no match for him now."

Li Yanchu also felt that things were getting tricky. The attack by the Donghua Ancestor and his men was even more dangerous than when the Nine Luminaries Saint Monarch had besieged him before.

Ye Zi was also somewhat worried and said, "What should we do then?"

Li Yanchu said, "I know a place where even if they get in, it won't be so easy for them to kill me."

Ye Zi's eyes lit up, and she asked, "Where?"

Li Yanchu said, "Yu Jie (禹界)."

As soon as Li Yanchu finished speaking, he transformed into a streak of light and soared away. He ran with all his might, and although his posture was not elegant, his speed was extremely fast.

The Donghua Patriarch and others led the pursuit, and gradually they managed to let him run some distance ahead.

It took the combined efforts of Donghua Patriarch and the others to unleash their supernatural powers and finally catch up with Li Yanchu.

The Old Ancestor Donghua couldn't help but curse, "Why is this kid so fast?"

You should know that Li Yanchu was constantly being hunted down. If he couldn't run away, he would have been beheaded and his bones crushed to ashes long ago.

Li Yanchu activated his divine powers with all his might, and finally he arrived at the entrance to the Yu Realm.

He was proficient in the Dao of Void. He had memorized it when he left the Yu Realm last time. After arriving near the Yu Realm, he had a thought and directly cleaved out a passage and rushed in.

Upon seeing this, Donghua Patriarch and the others had a strange light in their eyes. Donghua Patriarch said, "Yu Realm, why did he come to this dangerous place?"

A look of apprehension appeared in his eyes. The Yu Realm was a universe created by Emperor Yu, and who knew what tricks he might have up his sleeve.

Thinking of Emperor Yu, he felt somewhat apprehensive. However, afterward, Ancestor Donghua tore through the void with his hands and joined Li Yanchu in attacking the Yu Realm.

Upon entering the Yu Realm, Li Yanchu sensed the powerful auras of Donghua Ancestor and others following closely behind. Li Yanchu thought to himself, "Damn it, these scoundrels are really troublesome."

Ye Zi said, "What should we do?"

Li Yanchu said, "There is an imperial tomb in the Yu Realm. If we rush in, there may be a glimmer of hope."

Li Yanchu strode forward madly toward the imperial mausoleum, alarming the powerful beings outside the mausoleum.

These ancient gods looked at each other, recognized Li Yanchu, and before they could react, Li Yanchu plunged into the imperial mausoleum.

When the Donghua Ancestor and others arrived, their eyes widened in astonishment upon seeing these strange ancient gods in the Yu Realm.

At the same time, these ancient gods immediately launched a counterattack after the Donghua Ancestor and others led their forces to break in.

It's one thing for Li Yanchu to run away, but these people can come and go as they please? This is outrageous!

One by one, they unleashed their supernatural powers and used the great laws of the Yu Realm to attack the people in the Dark Forbidden Zone.

The Old Ancestor Donghua was hot-tempered. Seeing that these ancient gods dared to make a move, he did not hesitate at all and immediately activated his divine powers to meet them. The two sides immediately engaged in a fierce battle.

A deafening roar echoed through the land, causing the heavens and earth to tremble and threatening the entire Yu Realm with collapse.

Li Yanchu plunged into the imperial tomb and looked at the large bell in the sky. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief. He never expected to end up in this ominous place.

Ye Zi was put down by Li Yanchu, who then sat cross-legged and tried his best to recover his cultivation.

Ye Zi struggled to get up, exuding a lazy and charming aura, but unfortunately, it was all in vain.

Li Yanchu looked up, his eyes tightly closed, ignoring Ye Zi.

Ye Zi carefully looked around and said curiously, "This is the place where Emperor Yu fell!"

Li Yanchu began to use that wondrous breathing technique, and the large bell in the sky breathed in unison with him.

Left with no other choice, Li Yanchu had no choice but to enter this place.

With each breath, Li Yanchu's injuries rapidly healed, the Great Dao flowed through his body, and he continued to grow stronger.

Li Yanchu had previously severed the Great Dao of Yu Realm, and this time he was prepared.

Although he cultivated the Great Dao here, he immediately condensed a Dao body, and behind him was a Daoist who looked exactly like him, cultivating the Great Dao of the Yu Realm.

Ye Zi said curiously, "The Dao here is extremely powerful. If you learn his Dao, you might be able to deal with that old dog in time."

Although Li Yanchu was meditating cross-legged, he slowly opened his eyes and replied to Ye Zi: "This is not my path. If I only cultivate one great path, I may achieve something in the future, but if I switch to cultivating another great path, I'm afraid it will hinder each other."

Ye Zi was slightly taken aback, then said admiringly, "Impressive. Those who can create the Great Dao are all great cultivators with great supernatural powers. I didn't expect you to have such a spirit."

Li Yanchu pouted and ignored her. Ye Zi was so angry that she choked and turned her head away.

The Dao body behind Li Yanchu continued to cultivate the Great Dao of Yu Realm. Li Yanchu calculated in his heart that even if this Dao body was possessed, it would not affect his true self. This was the safest method.

While activating the Primordial Chaos Technique, he diligently worked to heal his injuries. He had gained many insights from the previous battle, and sparring with these powerful figures and digesting these insights was extremely beneficial to Li Yanchu's path to enlightenment. Unbeknownst to him, the commotion outside had subsided.

Ye Zi asked curiously, "I wonder how the battle is going outside."

Li Yanchu said, "Those ancient gods outside are ridiculously strong. The Great Dao here has a suppressive effect on the Great Dao in the Great Void. They might have already killed that old thief."

A faint voice rang out, and a schoolteacher covered in blood appeared near the two of them, no more than a hundred paces away.

The Old Ancestor Donghua said, "Although there are different levels of the Great Dao, in the end it all comes down to the person. You think too highly of those ancient gods to serve you."

Li Yanchu smiled and stood up, saying, "You're going to kill them all?"

The Old Ancestor Donghua said, "Although we haven't killed them all, it's not far off."

Li Yanchu clapped his hands and laughed, "That's amazing! Actually, I also wanted to kill them all, but I couldn't beat them. It's not bad to use you to get rid of them."

The Old Ancestor Donghua sneered: "You speak with such ambiguity, I have no intention of arguing with you any further. Prepare to die!"

Li Yanchu immediately said, "Don't you want to know the truth about the fall of Emperor Yu? Don't you want to know the secret contained within that great bell?"

The Old Ancestor Donghua frowned: "He's about to die and he's still spouting nonsense here."

He made up his mind not to give him any more nonsense. Finding an opportunity to get rid of Li Yanchu was the way to do it. Although it was simple and brutal, he would not be easily swayed and would not miss any opportunities.

He threw a punch at Li Yanchu, but Li Yanchu merged with his Daoist body behind him and used the Tai Chi Cloud Hand technique. Two Tai Chi fish, one black and one white, appeared behind him, deflecting the punch from the Donghua Ancestor.

The Donghua Ancestor was somewhat surprised to see this. The Taiji Dao was not a high level, yet Li Yanchu was able to use it to neutralize his attack.

He then threw another punch at Li Yanchu's head, but a Bagua diagram suddenly appeared under Li Yanchu's feet, occupying the Bagua position. The punch from the Donghua Ancestor suddenly went astray and missed Li Yanchu.

At the same time, his foot suddenly lost its footing, as if he had stepped into thin air, and he staggered.

Li Yanchu appeared silently behind him, waving his hand like a knife, slashing towards his neck. This slash contained an extremely powerful killing intent, sharp and fierce, reflecting the entire Great Dao of the Yu Realm, merging with it.

The hairs on the back of Donghua Patriarch's neck stood on end. His heart sank, and he immediately unleashed a palm strike. This palm strike contained the mysteries of the Primordial Realm, causing countless universes to be created and destroyed in an instant.

But when this palm strike landed on Li Yanchu, he only let out a muffled groan and continued to chop down.

The old patriarch Donghua felt a chill in his heart as Li Yanchu's blade struck his shoulder, leaving a deep, bone-revealing wound.

Li Yanchu was also hit by the blow, and instantly curled up.

The original supernatural powers of the Donghua Ancestor were extraordinary.
A trace of blood appeared at the corner of Donghua Patriarch's mouth as he sneered, "You really are a barbarian."

Li Yanchu was unconvinced. He roared, bent his knees slightly, and immediately charged towards the Donghua Ancestor.

Upon getting close, the Donghua Ancestor unleashed a punch at him, and in an instant, a sharp light erupted from his fist, annihilating Li Yanchu and the entire void around him.

But the next moment, Li Yanchu appeared beside the Donghua Ancestor like a ghost, urging the Great Dao of the Yu Realm, and struck the Donghua Ancestor's waist and abdomen with a palm!
The patriarch of Donghua broke his ribs and flew out with a crack. He staggered a few steps before regaining his balance and used his supernatural powers to protect his vitals.

Ancestor Donghua was also somewhat surprised: "Impossible, how come you've become so much stronger since you came in?"

Li Yanchu said, "Otherwise, why would I have brought you in? You idiot. If I had brought you in, I would have had a way to deal with you. Otherwise, would I have come in here to die?"

"..." The old ancestor Donghua's lips twitched with anger at Li Yanchu. Suddenly, his gaze fell on Ye Zi, and he raised his hand, sending a divine light hurtling towards her.

The next moment, Ye Zi's figure suddenly disappeared, and Li Yanchu pulled her into his arms, avoiding the attack.

The old ancestor Donghua smirked: "To apply the simple principles of Bagua to this extent, one is indeed an anomaly."

Li Yanchu said, "This is the Yu Realm, which is different from the outside world. The Bagua Dao, which you think is weak, is not weak here."

Li Yanchu pulled Ye Zi into his arms, and the next moment he tucked her into his sleeve.

Ye Zi snorted in dissatisfaction, but she knew that it had been extremely dangerous just now. If it weren't for Li Yanchu's rescue, she would probably have been killed by the Donghua Ancestor with that attack.

It's all that adversary's fault for being too powerful. He injured me to this extent with a single sword strike from a distance, leaving me only able to watch helplessly as Li Yanchu fought against the Donghua Ancestor, allowing that scoundrel Donghua Ancestor to swagger around.

Li Yanchu clasped his hands together, as if embracing yin and yang, and charged directly at the Donghua Ancestor.

The old ancestor Donghua clashed with his palm strike. The Great Dao he cultivated was weakened in the Yu Realm, while Li Yanchu was in harmony with the Great Dao of the Yu Realm. Although he did not mainly cultivate the Great Dao of the Yu Realm, he was able to unleash twelve times his combat power. Therefore, the two were evenly matched.

The Old Ancestor of Donghua deflected Li Yanchu's attack, and then struck Li Yanchu with a palm print.

The two fought hand-to-hand, moving extremely fast within the imperial tomb.

With each breath Li Yanchu took, countless streams of Dao energy were instantly contained within them.

He used that special breathing technique, echoing the bell, his movements becoming faster and faster, while his breathing became longer and more steady.

The Donghua Ancestor sensed something was wrong. He caught a glimpse of the large bell out of the corner of his eye and his heart sank: "So it was this Yu Emperor Bell that was secretly helping you."

He forced Li Yanchu back with his palm, then leaped forward to attack the Yu Emperor Bell.

With countless layers of void overlapping, he found it impossible to get close to the Yu Emperor Bell.

However, the Donghua Ancestor was no ordinary person. The next moment, he tore through the void and finally appeared in front of the Yu Emperor Bell.

He actually managed to break through the restrictions in the imperial tomb!

Li Yanchu's heart sank: "Why is this schoolteacher so good at fighting? If he's so good at fighting, why is he dressed up as a schoolteacher?"

Many thoughts flashed through Li Yanchu's mind, but the next moment, the Donghua Ancestor let out a miserable cry, and the big bell suddenly roared and slammed into him, sending him flying backward.

In just one encounter, without dazzling light or earth-shattering ripples of power, the ancestor of the Eastern Flower Sect charged forward with imposing grandeur, only to fall headfirst into the ground, his legs kicking wildly outside, looking utterly disheveled.

"Hiss!" Li Yanchu gasped, her eyes almost popping out of their sockets in disbelief: "So fierce! That bell is ridiculously powerful!"

Li Yanchu's body trembled.

However, seeing the disheveled state of the Donghua Patriarch, his eyes lit up: "Strike while the iron is hot and take his life!"

Li Yanchu swung his sword and slashed.

Unfortunately, by the time the purple blade energy struck, Ancestor Donghua had already pulled himself out.

He waved his hand to deflect Li Yanchu's sword energy. Although he was somewhat disheveled, he was at least not cut off by Li Yanchu.

The Donghua Patriarch couldn't help but curse, "That brat actually attacked me, taking advantage of my misfortune and kicking me when I'm down!"

Li Yanchu sneered, "When facing an enemy, you'll stop at nothing. Do you expect me to put on a proper fighting stance and have a proper spar with you?"
