Emperor Wu Shihuang's handwriting, do not go out of the Milky Way border

"Damn it! We were a step too late, and he escaped!"

"It's impossible to catch him now. Even the Demon Realm has disappeared. With the Demon Ancestor Rahu's methods, if he doesn't want to show himself, we simply won't be able to find him!"

"What should we do next? If we can't reclaim the power that has been stolen from us, it will remain a hidden danger!"

"Then let's target the other two restricted areas!"

"But those two forbidden zones are guarded by Ancestor Yang Mei and Dao Ancestor Hongjun. A rash attack would likely yield little result!"

"With this forbidden zone destroyed, Dao Ancestor Hongjun and Ancestor Yangmei must have noticed. Perhaps they will relocate the forbidden zone, at which point we will have to return empty-handed!"

"Therefore, we must act swiftly and decisively today!"

"Unite all enlightened beings! This matter concerns more than just us!"

"..."

The accomplished Daoists finalized the matter through their discussions. Immediately afterwards, their Great Daos connected with the Great Dao of Primordial Eternity, the Great Dao of the Five Elements, and the Dao of Origin.

Within this still partially shattered forbidden zone, three streaks of light flashed. The Origin Ancestor, Kong Xuan, the Five Elements Dao Ancestor, and Yuan Heng, the Lord of Heaven, had all arrived.

The three rushed over immediately after receiving the message, as they were unsure whether their own path had been stolen.

But recalling the strange behavior of the Main God Space back then, perhaps its authority had already been leaked.

Just in case, they decided to act together. Moreover, this matter affected all those who had attained enlightenment, so they had no choice but to join forces to deal with it.

After all, many who attain enlightenment did not achieve it by sacrificing themselves as fuel. No one wants to be the one sacrificed.

Just as they were discussing, the figure of Dao Ancestor Hongjun appeared in Zixiao Palace.

He sensed the forbidden zone shattering and was quite distressed: "That Rahu has messed things up. Now that the plan is exposed, we're in big trouble!"

Dao Ancestor Hongjun's face was gloomy as he pondered whether to move the forbidden zone.

Moving that restricted area is no small matter; the slightest mistake could lead to the failure of the experiment.

They still need this experience. His past experience is no longer applicable to the present.

Inside the Time-Space City, the old ancestor Yang Mei, who was sipping tea, had a slight change in expression: "We've been discovered. It's alright, the experiment is nearing its end anyway, we can just hold on for a while longer. Neither side is fully prepared, they shouldn't break off relations."

Meanwhile, inside the shattered restricted area, everyone reached a decision.

Taiqing Daode Tianzun surveyed the crowd: "Since you have all made your decisions, let us act immediately. We must break through the forbidden zone before Dao Ancestor Hongjun and Yangmei Patriarch can react, destroy their experiments, and delay the implementation of our plan. Ideally, we should also reclaim the power that has been stolen from us!"

Upon hearing this, everyone present immediately split into teams. The sixteen powerful Primordial Chaos Dao Ancestors instantly divided into two teams of eight people each.

Their auras merged, and their own Dao intertwined, as they quietly headed towards the endless chaotic sea outside the forbidden zone.

Borrowing the omnipresent Great Dao of those who have attained enlightenment, which permeates the entire endless chaotic sea, their figures appeared outside the other two forbidden zones.

The first team, consisting of Taiqing Daode Tianzun, Yuqing Yuanshi Tianzun, Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun, Yaodi Huangjun, Donghuang Taiyi, Hongmeng Daozun Yingzheng, Nuwa, and Shangcang Zhizhu Yuanheng, entered the forbidden area where Daozu Hongjun was located.

The second team consisted of Amitabha Buddha, Cundi Buddha Mother, Lord of the Abyss, Lord of Infinity, God Jehovah, Chaos God Chaos, Five Elements Dao Ancestor Kong Xuan, and the Source Ancestor. They entered the forbidden area where Yang Mei Ancestor was located.

As the two teams entered the restricted area, the encroachment and collision of the main road immediately began.

The combined power of the sixteen individuals severed the power of the forbidden zone, causing Hongjun Ancestor and Yangmei Ancestor, who had not yet made a decision in the Daoist temple, to furrow their brows.

They instantly appeared within the forbidden zone, their figures standing tall amidst the myriad realms of the Lesser Heavens. The profound array was identical to the one set up by the Demon Ancestor Rahu.

At this moment, Hongjun Ancestor and Yangmei Ancestor sensed the erosion of the Great Dao and couldn't help but grit their teeth: "These guys have gone mad! What good will it do them to tear off the mask now!"

At the same time, Ying Zheng took the lead outside the restricted area, holding the Breaking Dao Spear and standing on the Twenty-Sixth Grade Primordial Purple Lotus.

The original essence revealed after the Primordial Purple Lotus Devouring Array shattered has stabilized at the 26th grade level.

It barely reaches the level of a Chaos Treasure, so it has little impact on Ying Zheng's combat power.

Immediately, he thrust his Dao-Breaking Spear straight at the head of the formation, using its ability to pierce through all paths and suppress the power of all paths.

The Breaking Dao Spear was imbued with the power of the Great Dao of Taiqing, the Great Dao of Yuqing, the Great Dao of Shangqing, the Great Dao of Nuwa, the Great Dao of Taichu, the Demon Dao, and the Great Dao of Yuanheng. As the spear was unleashed, it tore through the great formation like a dragon.

"Qiang!"

Within the grand formation, the scene of countless smaller worlds was revealed. Everyone's gazes met those of their respective clones, and they instantly withdrew their clones, learning that their clones were trapped in this world.

The situation here is very similar to the memories retrieved from the clone of Demon Ancestor Rahu. Dao Ancestor Hongjun did nothing to their clones because it was for experimental purposes, and simply let them stay here safely.

Using one's own Great Dao as fuel, one nurtures that brilliant Dao fruit.

At the same time, Dao Ancestor Hongjun appeared in the deepest part of the Lesser Heavens and Myriad Realms. Looking at the incomplete Dao Fruit, he reluctantly plucked it off: "Although it was not fully formed, it could not continue after this great battle. It is better for me to pluck it myself than for it to be destroyed by someone else."

The moment Dao Ancestor Hongjun plucked the Dao Fruit, the Lesser Heavens and Myriad Realms trembled slightly, and the entire world began to show signs of disintegration.

The numerous Great Celestial Venerables and countless beings residing within were all drawn to sacrifice by the power of humanity. Their vast spiritual radiance and Daoist insights were absorbed into their Dao Fruits, yet they are still far from achieving perfection.

At the same time, Taiqing Daode Tianzun and others looked at Daozu Hongjun with complicated expressions: "Why do you still want to do this?"

Dao Ancestor Hongjun held a whisk and looked indifferently at the crowd.

The power of Heaven and the power of Immortals intertwine and surge, and the Jade Disc of Creation manifests above his head, gathering the power to suppress all paths!
"Why is that? Taiqing, don't you find it ridiculous to say such things now? I was born to seek the Dao, to prove the Dao and transcend, what is there that I cannot give up? Therefore, to help me achieve the Dao, why not give your Dao fruits to me!" Dao Ancestor Hongjun smiled warmly, as if he were talking about a trivial matter.

However, the calmer Dao Ancestor Hongjun was, the more eerie the feeling he gave Ying Zheng and the others became.

At this moment, Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun gently stroked the Qingping Sword, and a surge of fighting spirit erupted from his body.

The Four Swords of Zhuxian and the Zhuxian Formation Diagram floated out.

The vast power of the Immortal Slaughtering Formation radiates throughout the world, enveloping the entire forbidden zone and isolating it from the void to form its own world.

Four deadly swords stood in the four directions, their power of slaying immortals rising majestically, pointing directly at the Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

The Supreme Celestial Venerable of the Pure Land stared intently at Dao Ancestor Hongjun: "When the primordial world shattered, we separated our own Dao Fruits to settle our karmic debts with you and help you achieve perfect enlightenment. Now you want to repeat the same trick? Do you think things are still the same as before? Do you think you have the strength to contend with us?"

As the question rang out by the Supreme Celestial Venerable of the Pure Land, the situation between the two sides was on the verge of erupting.

Ying Zheng did not expect that the one who would first attack Dao Ancestor Hongjun would be his master, Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun.

However, this was the nature of Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun, which was unexpected but also reasonable.

Hongjun, the ancestor, stared at the completed Zhuxian Sword Formation before him, completely ignoring it.

He gazed at the precious light emanating from the hands of everyone present—all of them were supreme treasures protecting the Chaos.

Dao Ancestor Hongjun chuckled: "What's the difference?" These seemingly casual words deeply resonated with Ying Zheng.

Ying Zheng could sense that Dao Ancestor Hongjun's words came from the bottom of his heart. In his view, the current situation was exactly the same as it had been back then.

What confidence! Perhaps it was this confidence that led him to launch this plan.

Taiqing Daode Tianzun sighed helplessly, "Teacher, why do you need to delay? What exactly do you intend to do?"

Immediately, the Supreme Lord of Morality threw out his staff, which instantly transformed into two spirit carp.

This represents the convergence of the Yin and Yang Principles, which ultimately sublimate into the Taiji.

Although this version of Tai Chi's secrets is somewhat incomplete, it is still the genuine Tai Chi.

It should be noted that the entire history of the Endless Chaos Sea can be divided into five eras.

These are Taiyi, Taichu, Taishi, Taisu, and Taiji, and they are currently in the Taishi Era.

At the end of each era, chaos collapses, and only those who have attained enlightenment survive.

Of course, the one who attains enlightenment here refers to the Great Luo Heavenly Venerable, who embodies the laws that permeate heaven and earth.

They can survive by borrowing the power of the laws, but they are no longer at their peak and need to rebuild themselves in the next era.

Although Lao Tzu's Tai Chi is not the Tai Chi Era, it contains a certain mystery.

Under the influence of this Tai Chi power, the effects of the Creation Jade Butterfly were isolated. The faces of everyone present immediately darkened.

They themselves had not expected that they would be so easily influenced by the Jade Disc of Creation. At this moment, their gazes toward Dao Ancestor Hongjun were filled with even greater apprehension.

Although Dao Ancestor Hongjun has not appeared for many years, his strength is still terrifying.

Dao Ancestor Hongjun sighed helplessly: "Taiqing, you have indeed grown. The influence I exerted by empowering humanity with the Jade Tablet of Creation was actually seen through by you!"

"This disciple is merely being cautious. After all, Master holds the power over the Heavenly Dao and a portion of the Human Dao, so achieving this is not difficult for him." The Supreme Celestial Venerable of the Great Purity sighed softly.

At the same time, the demon emperor, Emperor Jun, gripped the demon-summoning banner tightly, his knuckles turning white.

His eyes were filled with hatred as he stared at Dao Ancestor Hongjun. It was because of Dao Ancestor Hongjun that he had failed several times in his attempts to prove his Dao through demonic means.

Although he ultimately succeeded, his foundation as a demonic cultivator was shattered, and he had no further potential for growth. How could his proud nature tolerate proving his path with such a flawed demonic cultivation?
This grudge must be avenged! The demon emperor Jun waved the demon-summoning banner, causing the canvas to ripple.

The phantom images of myriad spirits and demons imprinted on it emerged. Each phantom image represented the rules of the world, the laws of heaven and earth, and even the power of the Great Dao of the heavens.

In a daze, it seemed as if the figures of Pan Feng, Kong Que, Zu Long, Zu Qilin, Kun Peng and others appeared on it.

These marks were only recently successfully imprinted. This is because Pan Feng, Kong Xuan, Zu Long, and others were willing to lend their power to the Demon Emperor Jun.

Otherwise, even the Demon Emperor Jun would find it difficult to suppress them. After all, they were all either senior Hunyuan realm experts or Dao Ancestor realm experts, so how could they be allowed to be controlled by him?

"Hongjun! You have repeatedly obstructed my path to enlightenment. What grudge do I hold against you?" Emperor Jun, the Demon Emperor, roared through gritted teeth.

Dao Ancestor Hongjun completely disregarded the myriad demons and spirits phantoms behind the Demon Emperor Jun: "Your talent is extraordinary, and your path in the demonic path is also of the highest caliber, a path that promises transcendence. I will not allow anyone to surpass me!"

The Demon Emperor Jun transformed into a three-legged golden crow and charged ahead of the illusory figures of all demons and spirits: "Good explanation, I am very satisfied!"

The chilling words echoed, and a fierce battle suddenly broke out. The Primordial Dao permeated Donghuang Taiyi's body, and the Donghuang Bell hummed, freezing time and space, as its vast body crashed down towards Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

"Boom boom boom!"

The moment the Demon Emperor Jun and Donghuang Taiyi made their move, everyone present followed suit and attacked without holding back.

A mysterious and exquisite pagoda appeared atop the head of the Supreme Celestial Venerable of Morality and Law, while the silhouette of the Chaos Treasure Taiji Diagram faintly appeared within the Taiji Domain in the sky.

These two supreme treasures instantly enveloped Dao Ancestor Hongjun, weakening the power of the Heavenly Dao and the power of the Immortal Dao within them.

Dao Ancestor Hongjun sighed leisurely: "You have not yet realized the gap between me and you!"
As he finished speaking, he mobilized the power of the Heavenly Dao, and at the same time, the power of the Immortal Dao condensed into the phantoms of ten thousand immortals to protect their Immortal Ancestor.

The Immortal Path is the most influential path across all the heavens and myriad realms. The blessing bestowed upon Dao Ancestor Hongjun by the Immortal Path is unimaginable and incomparable to that of others.

The heavy, dark yellow aura emanating from the Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda was directly obliterated by the chanting of the endless illusory immortals.

The Heavenly Eye, formed from the power of the Heavenly Dao, coldly gazes upon the Eastern Emperor Bell, freezing it in the void.

The phantoms of myriad demons and spirits, driven by the Demon Emperor Jun, amplified the power of the demonic path, clashed with the phantoms of the immortal path, and were immediately at a disadvantage in the collision.

"Boom!"

Upon seeing this, the Supreme Celestial Venerable of the Pure Spiritual Treasure activated the Azure Lotus Sword and the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation simultaneously, unleashing boundless sword energy that condensed into a mighty river of sword energy, blotting out the sky and the sun. Each sword energy possessed the power to slay immortals and tear apart space and time.

With a light wave of his whisk, Dao Ancestor Hongjun unleashed countless threads of immortal and celestial power, entangled with the river of sword energy.

The Jade Ruyi, a precious scepter in the palm of the Primordial Heavenly Venerable of Jade Purity, trembled slightly, its three-colored light intertwining with the Pangu Banner. The Pangu Banner revealed chaotic sword energy, interwoven with four-colored radiance, further enhancing the power of the sword energy.

"cut!"

At the same time, a benevolent figure in white robes with a twenty-six-petaled Pure World White Lotus atop his head emerged from within Dao Ancestor Hongjun's body.

This figure condensed the power to purify all things. With a light touch of her jade-like finger, she uttered indifferently, "Destroy!"

The sword energy was instantly purified and reduced to nothingness. The essence of emptiness erupted instantly, suppressing Yuanshi Tianzun and the others.

Ying Zheng's eyes revealed astonishment: "This is the true severing of the three corpses! The method he passed down in the primordial era was merely a rudimentary or incomplete one. This technique possesses the true power of the original body, and is within the realm of those who have attained the Dao. It is completely different from the power of their avatars, which are close to the original body. This must be a benevolent corpse, and it was formed from the twenty-sixth grade Pure World White Lotus, a supreme treasure of chaos!"

Looking at the twenty-six-petaled Pure White Lotus, Ying Zheng even felt a trace of greed.

If it can be fused with the twenty-sixth grade Primordial Purple Lotus, the purple robe can then display the splendor of the thirty-sixth grade Creation Green Lotus.

Ying Zheng quickly dismissed the thought. This was an item belonging to the Dao Ancestor Hongjun, and even more so the foundation of a good corpse; there was absolutely no way he could seize it.

Moreover, even Ying Zheng was not certain whether they could win this time.

At this moment, Nuwa made a sudden move. The Chaos Treasure Red Embroidered Ball in her palm flew out, the powers of fate, cause and effect, and marriage intertwined, turning into strands of silk that wrapped around the benevolent corpse.

Immediately, the Mountain and River Map, a supreme treasure of chaos containing the power of humanity and the Great Dao of Nuwa, flew out and transformed into a scroll, intending to seal the Dao Ancestor Hongjun within it.

However, the Creation Jade Disc above Dao Ancestor Hongjun's head spun leisurely. Accompanied by the flow of power from all directions, it instantly sealed the Mountain and River Map into the void.

Nuwa's brows betrayed her weariness. In the battle of primordial spirits, she was far from being a match for Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

Seeing this, Ying Zheng, wielding the Dao-Breaking Spear, amplified the Primordial Dao and charged towards Dao Ancestor Hongjun. (End of Chapter)
