Looking at the Dao Lord of the Northern Underworld who was in the process of enlightenment, the smile on the face of the Demon Ancestor Rahu became even more sinister: "Cherish the little free time you have left."

After speaking, Demon Ancestor Rahu vanished. The Northern Underworld Dao Lord, who had awakened after his enlightenment, sensed the stirrings of his ultimate sword path.

Instead of immediately beginning his ascension, he returned directly to the Hongmeng Great World to seek out the Hongmeng Daoist Ying Zheng.

With Ying Zheng as his protector, the risks can be minimized.

Even if the Demon Ancestor Rahu comes, with Ying Zheng blocking him, he can still take the opportunity to attain enlightenment.

Once he attains enlightenment, what can the Demon Ancestor Rahu do to him?

The Lord of the Northern Underworld was not an enlightened being, so he was completely unaware of the vast differences between enlightened beings.

Ordinary enlightened beings have no power to resist the aforementioned Ancestral Rahu, and are easily suppressed just like the Lord of Heaven.

However, this information was kept secret by all those who had attained enlightenment, because they did not want to cause panic.

Otherwise, the chaos of the myriad realms would also bring them some trouble.

Subsequently, the Lord of the Northern Underworld transformed into a sword light, traversing the endless chaotic sea and heading towards the Hongmeng Great World.

Upon returning to the Great World of Hongmeng, the Lord of the Northern Underworld immediately went to the Hongmeng Dao Palace to seek an audience with Ying Zheng.

But the one walking towards them was Li Yiheng, Ying Zheng's eldest disciple. Because he had not yet found his own path to enlightenment, he was still at the level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal.

But facing a veteran Hunyuan Dao Master like the Northern Underworld Dao Master, he was not intimidated at all: "Fellow Daoist Northern Underworld, you have come at an inopportune time. My master is currently in seclusion."

Upon hearing this, a thoughtful look flashed in the eyes of the Northern Underworld Dao Master: "What a coincidence! But young friend Yiheng, I have important matters to discuss with the Dao Venerable. Please inform him."

Knowing what Ying Zheng was doing, Li Yiheng looked slightly embarrassed, but still said seriously, "Master was seriously injured in the previous battle with Dao Ancestor Hongjun and is currently in seclusion to heal his wounds. I apologize that I cannot see him."

Seeing Li Yiheng's resolute attitude, the Northern Underworld Dao Master sensed the ultimate sword path becoming increasingly agitated, and he knew he couldn't delay much longer: "Then I'll have to offend you!"

Upon hearing this, Li Yiheng looked at the Northern Underworld Dao Master in astonishment. No matter what, interrupting his master and uncle's cultivation would never earn him a kind word from his master.

At this moment, the ultimate sword dao within the body of the Northern Darkness Dao Master suddenly erupted, instantly rising to a level surpassing that of the Primordial Chaos Dao Master.

Emperor Jun, the Demon Emperor who is currently comprehending the Great Dao in the Hongmeng Great World in hopes of proving the Dao once again, has now recovered his cultivation to the level of a Great Luo Heavenly Venerable.

He achieved the status of a Great Luo Celestial Venerable through the Law of Fire, which seems unremarkable.

However, the Three-Legged Golden Crow was an expert in fire control, and could even fight against ordinary Chaos Dao Lords and Demon Emperors like Emperor Jun.

Sensing the vast sword intent at this moment, the Demon Emperor Jun muttered to himself, "Such a terrifying sword intent, could it be that the Supreme Pure Spiritual Treasure Heavenly Venerable has arrived? No, it is different from his Azure Lotus Sword Intent."

Meanwhile, Donghuang Taiyi, who was recuperating in the Hongmeng Great World, noticed that the swordsmanship had risen to a level sufficient to achieve enlightenment, and suddenly opened his eyes: "Who on earth has taken a different path to achieve enlightenment through the swordsmanship?"

After all, the position of Sword Dao Master is currently held by Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun. If one wishes to achieve Dao through the Sword Dao, one must bypass this path and condense one's own Sword Dao!

For example, the Supreme Pure Spirit Treasure Heavenly Venerable further evolved the Qingping Sword Dao in the way of swordsmanship, but it is extremely difficult to achieve this, and those who succeed are all extraordinary talents.

Such a being is worthy of his acquaintance. Donghuang Taiyi appeared before the Lord of the Northern Underworld.

In a daze, time flowed by, and he saw the Dao Lord of Beiming grow from a small world to the present day: "Beiming, you are not bad. You have come here today, so you must have found the opportunity to achieve the Dao and wish to ask Fellow Daoist Ying Zheng to protect you?"

Only after Donghuang Taiyi spoke did the Lord of the Northern Underworld breathe a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Demon Ancestor Luo Hou hadn't let him down.
The scene of the transaction with him was hidden, otherwise it would have been troublesome.

In response, the Lord of the Northern Underworld nodded solemnly and said, "Greetings, Your Majesty the Eastern Emperor. I have come here today to request Your Excellency's protection."

Donghuang Taiyi looked into the depths of the main hall, where the power of several Great Daos intertwined and merged in that world.

It was clear that Donghuang Taiyi had guessed what Ying Zheng was doing. He hadn't even shown his ultimate sword technique yet, which meant that the moment had come to a critical point: "Fellow Daoist Ying Zheng is busy healing his injuries, so I will protect you."

Upon hearing this, the Lord of the Northern Underworld hesitated. He guessed that there were differences even among those who had attained Dao.
However, the gap should not be too large, and the protection of Donghuang Taiyi should be feasible.

However, the Lord of the Northern Underworld has not yet informed the Venerable Hongmeng about his deal with the Demon Ancestor Rahu.

However, he quickly came to terms with it. As long as he could attain enlightenment, what did it matter if he had made a deal?

After all, Ying Zheng and his people wouldn't make things difficult for someone who had attained enlightenment.

"Very well, then I will trouble Your Majesty the Eastern Emperor," the Lord of the Northern Underworld replied respectfully.

Afterwards, the two arrived outside the Hongmeng Great World. As the Northern Darkness Dao Master unleashed his ultimate sword technique without reservation...

The immense power stirred the primordial space of the Great Dao, drawing the attention of all those who had attained Dao and the Lords of the Primordial Chaos to this place.

Taiqing Daode Tianzun and the others scrutinized Beiming Daozhu with profound gazes, sensing that something was amiss about him, yet they couldn't quite put their finger on it.

However, they didn't care too much. Those who could reach this point must have had some kind of opportunity, and they wouldn't offend an enlightened being for the sake of such an opportunity.

As for the Primordial Dao Masters, they were filled with envy: "I never expected that Bei Ming would actually attain Dao. I wonder how strong he will be after he attains Dao!"

"For now, he's still called Beiming, but from now on, he'll be called Dao Ancestor Beiming!"

"You know, he was already stronger than that person before he attained the Dao. Now that he has attained the Dao, his strength has increased dramatically. Who knows what will happen to him!"

"..."

Demon Master Kunpeng snorted coldly at the discussions of these Primordial Dao Lords. Although they didn't name names, how was that any different from speaking frankly? "Hmph!"

This cold snort echoed in the ears of many Primordial Dao Lords, shocking their minds and causing them to be injured instantly, which would take tens of millions of years to recover from.

Everyone immediately fell silent, like quails, daring not to say another word.

Demon Master Kunpeng looked at the Lord of the Northern Underworld and said coldly, "Consider yourself lucky to have actually attained the Dao!"

Out of respect for Ying Zheng, the demon master Kunpeng decided not to hold the past against him.

Within the demonic path, the figure of Demon Ancestor Rahu appeared and disappeared. Looking at the situation before him, he laughed and said, "It seems that Ying Zheng is seriously injured. He hasn't shown his face yet, which makes it convenient for me to carry out my plan. Otherwise, I would really be afraid that he would see through my disguise."

At the same time, the power of the Ultimate Sword Path continued to sublimate. The Ultimate Sword Path, which was originally attached to the Primordial Dao, began to separate.

No one present paid any attention to this. Since one has already attained enlightenment, why should one's path be subordinate to that of other enlightened beings?

To their shock, the ultimate swordsmanship had been directly integrated into the demonic path.

At this moment, the Lord of the Northern Underworld was surrounded by demonic energy. Donghuang Taiyi instinctively reached out to grab him, but endless demonic energy formed a barrier in front of him.

"boom!"

The Eastern Emperor Taiyi's eyes flashed with golden light as he stared at the source of the Northern Underworld Dao Lord—which had been completely tainted by demonic energy: "It's already beyond redemption. What exactly happened? Why did it suddenly fall into the demonic path? Could it be a pawn of the Demon Ancestor Rahu? But that shouldn't be the case!"

Such a commotion immediately startled Ying Zheng, who was resting with Nuwa. He put on his clothes and his figure instantly appeared in front of Donghuang Taiyi.

Donghuang Taiyi met Ying Zheng's inquiring gaze and shook his head helplessly. He was also completely bewildered at the moment. Although he was indeed protecting the Lord of Beiming, he had no idea how things had developed to this point.

Seeing this, Ying Zheng scrutinized the Lord of the Northern Underworld with a deep gaze, his expression extremely grim as he looked at the surging demonic energy before him.

The Lord of the Northern Underworld was originally a subordinate he valued, but now, at the moment of attaining enlightenment, he has fallen into the demonic path in full view of everyone. Isn't this a slap in his face?
At this moment, Donghuang Taiyi used the power of the Primordial Dao to travel back in time, wanting to investigate what exactly happened to the Lord of the Northern Underworld.

Witnessing the scene before him, Ying Zheng said with a solemn expression, "No, this period of history has been altered!"

Subsequently, the perfected Hongmeng Dao within Ying Zheng erupted, its vast power covering this illusory past.

He then sought to correct the altered scene, and the power of the demonic path fought against him.

At this moment, Demon Ancestor Rahu sensed Ying Zheng's determination to trace the cause and effect of the past, and also gave up fighting against him: "So what if I let you know the reason? Now Beiming has already fallen into demonic ways and there is no way to turn back!"

As the Demon Ancestor Rahu relaxed his guard, the power of the demonic path subsided, allowing Ying Zheng to seize the opportunity.

Thus, the power of the Primordial Dao overwhelmed the demonic path, presenting the altered scene.

Looking back at the past of the Lord of the Northern Underworld, when he attained the Primordial Dao, he was confident that he could forge a different path, even though the Dao of Sword had already been taken.

Unexpectedly, after countless years of wasted time, by chance, the Lord of the Northern Underworld came into contact with the Demon Ancestor Rahu and made a deal with him, testing the bottom line and secrets of the Main God Space.

Afterwards, under the influence of the Demon Ancestor Rahu, the Lord of the Northern Underworld comprehended the ultimate sword path and thus became the Lord of the Primordial Chaos.

Not long ago, the Demon Ancestor Rahu came to him again, claiming that he would help him achieve enlightenment.

The Lord of the Northern Underworld actually believed this deal, and thought that since they were both enlightened beings, even if there was a difference in their abilities, neither of them could kill the other.

Upon seeing the scene before him, Ying Zheng couldn't help but rub his forehead, unsure whether to marvel at the naivety or foolishness of the Lord of the Northern Underworld.

Finally, Ying Zheng sighed helplessly, "Enough. Now is not the time to pursue this matter. Although the situation is already beyond repair, there is still a glimmer of hope if we split the source!"

Knowing the reasons behind the past, Ying Zheng has given up on saving the ultimate sword path.

After all, his entanglement with the demonic path was far too deep. Not to mention that he only became the Lord of the Primordial Chaos because of the Demon Ancestor Rahu.

Furthermore, not long ago, in order to attain enlightenment, he accepted the assistance of the Demon Ancestor Rahu.

His ultimate swordsmanship has long been integrated into the demonic path and cannot be separated. It is already fortunate that he was able to rescue the Lord of the Northern Underworld.

After making the decision, Ying Zheng immediately took action: "Taiyi, you suppress this ultimate sword dao sublimation first. Master, you restrain it as the master of sword dao. Before I rescue the Beiming True Spirit, we must not allow it to sublimate successfully!"

Donghuang Taiyi and Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun also knew the seriousness of this matter.

Donghuang Taiyi immediately assured him, "Don't worry! We will definitely suppress its Dao sublimation!"

However, the Supreme Celestial Venerable of the Pure Land hesitated and said, "Disciple, you must also be careful. If it really doesn't work, then give up. It's just to make this so-called ultimate sword path flawless and make the demonic power even stronger. With your current strength, you should be able to stop it!"

Ying Zheng felt a surge of warmth in his heart at the sight of Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun's concern: "I will never act rashly!"

Just then, Nuwa calmly walked out of the Nuwa Palace, her previous ambiguous demeanor gone, replaced by an air of dignified holiness.

"We will clear the obstacles for you, and we entrust everything to you. You must not allow the demonic power to grow stronger again, or things will become very troublesome!"

How could Ying Zheng not know what Nuwa had said? All she knew was what Ying Zheng had told her.

The Demon Ancestor Rahu was born from Pangu's resentment and regret, drawing upon the negative emotions of resentment, hatred, and slaughter from the three thousand Chaos Demon Gods.

They can be considered part of the great god Pangu or even the Dao Ancestor Hongjun. The stronger the Demon Ancestor Rahu is, the more his power will increase after they merge.

After all, it's not as simple as one plus one equals two; it's an exponential increase.

Therefore, Ying Zheng would not let go of any opportunity to stop the Demon Ancestor Rahu and the Dao Ancestor Hongjun from increasing their strength.

This is precisely why Ying Zheng still does not give up on the Lord of the Northern Underworld.

Not only because of its own value, but also because of the factors related to the Demon Ancestor Rahu.

Subsequently, Donghuang Taiyi transformed into his true form, the Three-Legged Golden Crow. The blazing sun, condensing the power of the Primordial Dao and the Solar Dao, crushed down with the might of burning the heavens.

"Boom!"

As Donghuang Taiyi made his move, Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun was not idle either, as the two forces collided with the ever-ascending ultimate Dao.

He raised his hand and struck the top of his head, revealing the enormous Heaven, Earth, and Man flowers. The vast power of the Qingping Sword Intent began to sublimate without reservation, attempting to suppress the ultimate sword path.

After all, the current Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun is the master of the sword path, and the ultimate sword path has broken free from its constraints and become its own system.

However, it is still a branch of swordsmanship, and it will indeed be somewhat affected when Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun uses his full power as the master of swordsmanship.

At this moment, the ultimate sword dao sublimation achieved by sacrificing the original essence of the Northern Underworld Dao Master and draining his primordial spirit came to an abrupt halt.

The sun, transformed from the Eastern Emperor Taiyi, was pressing down on its head, while the Supreme Pure Spiritual Treasure Heavenly Venerable restrained it from the side.

The fact that two Dao-enlightened beings stepped forward to stop it was enough for the Lord of the Northern Underworld to be proud of himself.

After doing all this, Ying Zheng invaded the main body of Beiming Dao with his own mind.

The moment he entered, Ying Zheng felt an intense sense of being devoured, as if the Lord of the Northern Underworld was consuming everything.

At the same time, the moment Ying Zheng entered, Demon Ancestor Rahu sensed his arrival.

"As expected, it was you. None of the other weaklings dared to come in and clash with me on the Great Dao. Only you have extraordinary courage!" Demon Ancestor Rahu said with great interest.

Ying Zheng was enveloped in purple light, and his perfected Hongmeng Dao was contending with the demonic path of the Demon Ancestor Luo Hou.

If it were any other enlightened being, they would probably be suppressed the moment they entered.

This is precisely why Ying Zheng did not ask other Dao-achievers for help; the struggle of the Great Dao is a pure battle of the Great Dao.

Its danger level is extremely terrifying; a slight mistake could lead to complete defeat.

Now, Demon Ancestor Rahu is fighting against the Northern Underworld Dao Lord in the form of a Great Dao Clash in order to devour the ultimate sword path of the Northern Underworld Dao Lord.

At this moment, Demon Ancestor Rahu has already gained an overwhelming advantage. Now, the Lord of the Northern Underworld is only maintaining himself with a bit of unwavering faith and has not been completely devoured.

He was utterly powerless at this moment and could only watch helplessly as his ultimate sword path was devoured by the Demon Ancestor Rahu and merged into the killing path of the God-Slaying Spear.

The reason why Demon Ancestor Rahu made this risky move was to perfect the God-Slaying Spear.

Of course, the Lord of the Northern Underworld alone could not accomplish this, but the Demon Ancestor Rahu had other follow-up plans. (End of Chapter)
