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

As for the Primordial Dao Masters, they were filled with envy: "I didn't expect Bei Ming to actually achieve Dao. I wonder how strong he will be after he achieves Dao."

"Is it still called Beiming? From now on, it should be called Dao Ancestor Beiming."

"You should know that he defeated that person before he even attained enlightenment. Now that he has attained enlightenment, his strength has skyrocketed. Who knows how strong he will become?"

"..."

Listening to the discussions of these Primordial Dao Lords, Demon Master Kunpeng snorted coldly. Although they didn't name names, what difference was there between that and saying it outright? "Hmph!"

That cold snort echoed in the ears of the many Primordial Dao Lords, instantly shocking their minds and causing them to be injured on the spot. They would not be able to recover for tens of millions of years.

At this, all the Hunyuan Dao Masters fell silent, no longer daring to say anything more.

Demon Master Kunpeng looked at the Lord of the Northern Underworld and snorted coldly, "Consider yourself lucky to have reached the point of attaining the Dao."

Out of respect for Ying Zheng, he decided to let bygones be bygones.

Deep within the demonic realm, the figure of Demon Ancestor Rahu appeared and disappeared. Looking at the situation before him, he couldn't help but laugh: "It seems Ying Zheng is seriously injured, as he hasn't shown up. This makes things easier for me, otherwise I'd really be afraid he'd notice something amiss."

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 from it.

No one present paid any attention to this. Having already attained enlightenment, why should their own path remain subordinate to those of other enlightened beings?
But what happened next astonished everyone—the ultimate swordsmanship was directly integrated into the demonic path.

At that very moment, demonic energy surged from the body of the Lord of the Northern Underworld. Donghuang Taiyi almost instinctively reached out to grab him, but was blocked by a barrier formed by endless demonic energy.

"boom!"

The Eastern Emperor Taiyi's eyes flashed with golden light as he carefully examined the Northern Underworld Dao Lord's origin, only to find that it had been completely corrupted by demonic energy: "This is already a situation beyond redemption. What exactly happened? Why did he suddenly fall into the demonic path? Could he be a pawn planted by the Demon Ancestor Rahu? But this shouldn't be the case..."

The commotion startled Ying Zheng, who was resting with a woman in the Nuwa Palace. He quickly straightened his clothes and appeared in front of Donghuang Taiyi in an instant.

Donghuang Taiyi shook his head helplessly as he met Ying Zheng's probing gaze.

He himself was completely bewildered. Although he was indeed protecting the Lord of the Northern Underworld, he couldn't understand how things had turned out this way.

Seeing this, Ying Zheng scrutinized the Lord of the Northern Underworld with a deep gaze, his face turning extremely grim as he looked at the scene of demonic energy soaring into the sky.

The Lord of the Northern Underworld was a subordinate he valued highly, but now, just as he was about to attain enlightenment, he fell into the demonic path in front of everyone. Wasn't this a slap in his face?

At this moment, Donghuang Taiyi used the power of the Primordial Dao to travel back in time, attempting to investigate what had happened to the Lord of the Northern Underworld.

Looking at the scene that appeared, Ying Zheng said with a solemn expression, "No, this period of the past has been tampered with!"

Immediately afterwards, the perfected Hongmeng Dao on Ying Zheng's body suddenly erupted, and the vast power of the Dao instantly covered this false past.

He intended to correct the altered images, but the power of the demonic path fought against him.

At this moment, Demon Ancestor Rahu sensed Ying Zheng's determination to pursue the cause and effect of the past, and also gave up resisting: "Even if you know the reason, so what? Now Beiming has already fallen into demonic ways, and there is no turning back!"

As the Demon Ancestor Rahu relaxed his guard, the demonic power subsided, and Ying Zheng seized the opportunity.

The power of the Primordial Dao finally overwhelmed the Demonic Dao, revealing the altered true scene.

The scene reveals the past of the Lord of the Northern Underworld—when he attained the Primordial Dao, he was arrogant and proud, confident that he could forge his own path even though the sword path already had a master.

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 to test the bottom line and secrets of the Main God Space.

Afterwards, with the help 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, saying that he wanted to help him achieve enlightenment.

The Lord of the Northern Underworld actually believed in this deal, and even thought that since everyone was an enlightened being, even if there was a difference in their abilities, the other party could not truly kill him.

Seeing these scenes, Ying Zheng couldn't help but sigh and rub his forehead, unsure whether to lament whether the Lord of the Northern Underworld was naive or foolish.

Finally, Ying Zheng sighed helplessly: "Enough, now is not the time to pursue these matters. Although the situation is already beyond repair, if we can split the source, there may still be a glimmer of hope."

Having learned the whole story, Ying Zheng gave up the idea of ​​saving the ultimate sword path.

After all, the connection between the Lord of the Northern Underworld and the Demonic Path is too deep. Not to mention that he only became the Lord of the Primordial Chaos because of the Demon Ancestor Rahu.

In addition, not long ago, in order to achieve enlightenment, he accepted the assistance of the Demon Ancestor Rahu.

His ultimate swordsmanship has now merged with the demonic path, making it impossible to separate them. It's already a stroke of luck that he was able to rescue the Lord of the Northern Underworld himself.

Having made the decision, Ying Zheng immediately put it into action: "Taiyi, you take the initiative to suppress this ultimate sword path sublimation. Master, you, as the master of the sword path, should intervene from the sidelines. Before I rescue Beiming's true spirit, we must not allow his Great Dao to successfully sublimate!"

Both Donghuang Taiyi and Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun understood the great importance of this matter.

Donghuang Taiyi immediately patted his chest and assured him, "Don't worry! We will definitely suppress his path to ascension!"

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. At worst, it will just make this so-called ultimate sword path complete and allow the power of the demonic path to be even stronger. With your current strength, you should be able to handle it."

Sensing Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun's worry, Ying Zheng felt a surge of warmth in his heart: "Master, rest assured, I will definitely not act rashly!"

Just then, Nuwa walked out of the Nuwa Palace with a dignified demeanor, no longer displaying the ambiguous attitude she had just shown, and exuding an aura of holiness and dignity.

"We will clear the obstacles for you; everything is in your hands. We must not allow the power of the demonic path to grow stronger again, or we will be in big trouble."

How could Ying Zheng not know what Nuwa had said? Everything she knew was told to her by Ying Zheng himself.

The Demon Ancestor Rahu was originally Pangu's resentment and regret, and was born by absorbing the negative emotions of the three thousand Chaos Demon Gods - resentment, hatred, killing, etc.

It can be said that he is a 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 exponentially after they merge.

It's not as simple as one plus one equals two; it grows exponentially.

Therefore, Ying Zheng would never let go of any opportunity to stop the Demon Ancestor Rahu and the Dao Ancestor Hongjun from increasing their strength.

This is why Ying Zheng still refuses to give up the Lord of the Northern Underworld.

It's not just because of Beiming's own value, but also because of the factor of the Demon Ancestor Rahu.

Immediately afterwards, Donghuang Taiyi manifested his true form as a three-legged golden crow. The blazing sun, imbued with the power of the Primordial Dao and the Solar Dao, crushed down with the might to burn the heavens.

"Boom!"

The power of the Great Sun collided with the still-ascending Ultimate Dao. Just as Donghuang Taiyi made his move, Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun was not idle either. He slapped the top of his head, and the enormous Heaven, Earth, and Man flowers appeared. The vast power of Qingping Sword Intent began to rise without reservation, attempting to suppress the Ultimate Sword Dao.

After all, the current Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun is the true master of the sword path. Although the ultimate sword path has forged its own path and formed its own system.

But it is ultimately a part of the way of the sword. When Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun exerts his full power as the master of the way of the sword, it can indeed have a certain influence on it.

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

The great sun, transformed from Donghuang Taiyi, was suppressing them from above, while Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun was pulling them aside from the side.

The fact that two Dao-realized beings simultaneously intervened to stop it is something the Lord of the Northern Underworld can be proud of.

After making these preparations, Ying Zheng invaded the body of Beiming Dao with his own mind.

The moment he entered, Ying Zheng could feel a strong sense of being devoured, which was frantically consuming everything of the Lord of the Northern Underworld.

At the same time, as soon as Ying Zheng entered, the Demon Ancestor Rahu noticed his arrival.

"It really is you. None of the other oddballs and deformed ones have the guts to come in and clash with me on the Great Dao. Only you are bold and skilled," said Demon Ancestor Rahu with great interest.

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

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

This is why Ying Zheng did not ask other Dao-achievers for help—the battle of the Great Dao is a pure duel between the Great Daos.

Its danger is immeasurable; a slight misstep could lead to total defeat.

At this moment, 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 dao.

The Demon Ancestor Rahu has now gained an overwhelming advantage, and the Lord of the Northern Underworld is only maintaining his self-respect with a sliver of firm belief, and has not yet been completely devoured.

He could do nothing at this moment, and could only watch helplessly as his ultimate sword path was gradually devoured by the Demon Ancestor Rahu and merged into the killing path of the God-Slaying Spear.

The reason why Demon Ancestor Rahu took this risky step was to bring the God-Slaying Spear to its perfect state.

Of course, the Lord of the Northern Underworld alone is not enough to accomplish this, but the Demon Ancestor Rahu has further plans.

As long as the plan proceeds smoothly and the God-Slaying Spear reaches its full potential, then with the aid of the Great Dao of Slaughter, Demon Ancestor Rahu will be confident of competing with Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

After thoroughly investigating the situation of the Lord of the Northern Underworld, Ying Zheng breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Fortunately, the Lord of the Northern Underworld had not completely fallen, otherwise even if he wanted to help, he would have had no way to do so.

At this moment, Ying Zheng looked at the God-Slaying Spear that was devouring the ultimate sword path, and an increasingly sharp edge emerged from the spear.

That sharp edge contained a terrifying killing intent, making one feel as if they were sitting on pins and needles.

Seeing that the Great Dao of Slaughter contained within the God-Slaying Spear was slowly perfecting, Ying Zheng instantly understood the Demon Ancestor Rahu's intentions.

"Demon Ancestor Rahu, you're using my subordinates to perfect your God-Slaying Spear. Isn't that a brilliant scheme? Aren't you afraid I'll disrupt your plans?" Ying Zheng questioned sharply.

Upon hearing this, Demon Ancestor Rahu responded with a half-smile: "Then why don't you give it a try!"

Even a clay figure would be angered by such provocation from the Demon Ancestor Rahu.

Moreover, Ying Zheng, who was already burning with rage, did not hesitate to take action at this moment.

Golden light shone from his palm—the Great Dao of Destiny, representing mystery, nobility, and glory, manifested and intertwined with the Great Dao of Primordial Chaos, bombarding the Demon Ancestor Rahu.

The moment the Great Dao of Destiny appeared, Demon Ancestor Rahu's seemingly nonchalant expression concealed a deep sense of dread.

The Great Dao of Destiny relates to the River of Destiny and is one of the most mysterious Daos in the world.

Even the God of Destiny, one of the three thousand Chaos Gods that Chaos gave birth to itself back then.

While his mastery of the Path of Destiny wasn't particularly profound, his very existence was terrifying enough to place him among the top ten of all the Chaos Gods.

Rahu, the Demon Ancestor, born from the resentment and grievances of the three thousand Chaos Gods, knew this all too well.

Therefore, at this moment, they are facing the terrifying pressure from the Great Dao of Destiny and the Great Dao of Primordial Chaos.

Demon Ancestor Rahu also went all out, and the Thirty-Six-Petaled Black Lotus of Destruction appeared between his brows.

The power of destruction and the power of demonic arts were forged into an indestructible wall, separating the two sides.

As the thirty-six-petaled Black Lotus of Destruction slowly rotated, a flaw and imperfection appeared.

This created a slight loophole in the Path of Destruction. Although this loophole could be exploited, there was still a defensive wall built by the demonic forces behind it.

Breaking through these two lines of defense won't be easy.

Moreover, Ying Zheng could not be certain whether this was a trap deliberately set by the Demon Ancestor Rahu.

Otherwise, why would they have exposed this vulnerability so obviously to him? This is something we must guard against.

At this moment, the Lord of the Northern Underworld, who had been devoured by the demonic path, also sensed Ying Zheng's arrival and opened his eyes with difficulty.

Those once clear black and white eyes were now clouded with a yellowish hue, yet a pleading look still lingered: "Lord Daoist...save me!"

Seeing this, Ying Zheng replied solemnly, "Hold on! I will definitely get you out of here, don't give up!"

Demon Ancestor Rahu looked at the Northern Underworld Dao Lord with a half-smile: "I underestimated you. Your Dao heart is so firm. Then I'll add fuel to the fire!"

In an instant, the threads formed from the Great Dao of Slaughter pierced through the true spirit of the Lord of the Northern Underworld.

Such pain even stirred a ripple in the unwavering Dao heart of the Northern Underworld Dao Master.

Immediately afterwards, the God-Slaying Spear unleashed even greater power, once again suppressing the Lord of the Northern Underworld.

Seeing the miserable state of the Lord of the Northern Underworld, Ying Zheng knew there was no time to hesitate: "Fine, we can only try anything!"

Ying Zheng reached out and used the mysterious and unpredictable power of the Great Dao of Destiny to rearrange and reorganize the elements, condensing them into the shape of a disc.

By imitating its form, this object is used to summon the immense power of the Disc of Destiny, the source of the river of fate. (End of Chapter)
