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

If your Dao heart becomes even slightly unstable, it can seep into your Dao heart through this crack, eventually causing your Dao heart to collapse, your primordial spirit to perish, and you to die without a burial place!
Sure enough, in the blink of an eye, many Great Dao Saints could not withstand it, and their bodies exploded and turned to ashes.

"Ugh!" Suddenly, a Great Dao Saint jumped up, roaring wildly as he wielded his fingers like swords, wildly waving them around.

With a flick of his fingers, he unleashed a series of astonishing sword beams! Each beam was enough to annihilate a vast world.

"This person has gone mad!"

"He's finished!"

"Another one has failed."

Many people whispered among themselves.

Incredibly, this person was not eliminated; instead, he became more and more enthusiastic about sword dancing, and his expression gradually calmed down, as if he had entered an indescribable state of enlightenment.

"What's going on?!" Many people were dumbfounded, completely bewildered by what had happened.

Even some Primordial Supremes showed expressions of surprise and uncertainty.

Only those powerful individuals whose cultivation was considered profound even among the Primordial Supremes revealed thoughtful expressions.

"Senior Brother, what's going on? Can you understand it?" Yuanshi Tianzun sat on his cloud bed and casually asked Laozi beside him.

There were a great many Primordial Supremes attending the ceremony. Not to mention the many Supremes who usually resided in the Emperor's Domain, there were also many Supremes from various domains who came, totaling no less than ten thousand!

These supreme beings all exuded an invisible aura of supreme power.

Ying Zheng and Nuwa sat in the center of the Daoist altar, surrounded by other deities on all sides. Behind them were countless other cultivators.

The Hongmeng Grand Ceremony was a major event, and naturally, Yuanshi Tianzun, Ying Zheng's master and senior master, also participated.

"Yes, what exactly is Ying Zheng up to? I don't understand either. Wasn't that person's Dao heart collapsing? Why does he seem to be about to break through?" Tongtian Jiaozhu also asked quietly via telepathy.

"You are all wrong. This Great Dao's Brahma Sound is not actually Ying Zheng's Dao, but their own Dao. What they heard was their own Dao questioning them. If their Dao heart is unstable, they will begin to doubt their own Dao, which is why they perish!"

"That person has developed doubts about his own Dao, but he has also gained new insights from those doubts, which is why he has appeared in that situation. If nothing unexpected happens, he will attain the status of the Primordial Supreme after this Grand Primordial Ritual," Laozi explained telepathically.

"So that's how it is," Yuanshi Tianzun replied somewhat awkwardly.

"This person is about to break through." Among the Venerables, many people quickly realized this.

What a stroke of luck!

"However, after breaking through to the Venerable Realm, he will no longer be able to participate in the Hongmeng Grand Ceremony, right?"

"It should be."

The deities conversed, some communicating through telepathy, others speaking frankly and without reservation.

Their words caused countless cultivators in the void to widen their eyes and look at the Great Dao Saint who was wielding a sword.

For cultivators who have not yet attained the status of a Great Dao Saint to become a Venerable One, such a process is an unimaginable stroke of luck!

Unfortunately, after the man finished his sword dance, he sighed and, just when everyone thought he was about to break through, he abruptly interrupted his breakthrough and sat down cross-legged again.

This scene left everyone speechless.

"Holy crap, why isn't he breaking through?!"

"I'm so jealous! What's going on? He's not even going to be the Primordial Supreme anymore?!"

"Why?! Why the hell is this happening?!"

Even some Primordial Supremes were completely baffled; only a few Supremes and those directly involved understood the reason behind it.

The reason he didn't break through here is because he has already attained enlightenment and can break through anytime, anywhere. Even if this breakthrough is interrupted, he can easily find another place to break through if he wants to.

He stopped this time because he still wanted to participate in the Hongmeng Grand Ceremony!
"This person is really too much. He has clearly already attained the Supreme Dao, but he deliberately does not break through. In this way, who can be his opponent?" Among the Venerables, Jiu Lu couldn't help but say.

"I find it quite interesting," You Han said with a slight smile.

"Little Golden Crow..." While all the Venerables were watching the Great Dao Saint dancing with his sword, some Supreme Venerables were also worried about their disciples.

For example, Fuxi.

He obtained the Reincarnation Seal and attained the Supreme Dao. Over the years, his cultivation has been stable, and he has no shortage of supreme treasures. Even among the Supremes, he is renowned throughout the region.

Lu Ya, too, had gradually cultivated his way up, and had already reached the twelfth level of the Primordial Dao Saint.

He was the only disciple Ying Zheng nominally accepted. Ying Zheng had never treated him unfairly. Coupled with his own good aptitude and diligent cultivation, he made rapid breakthroughs, ranking second only to Ling Zhuzi among the disciples of the Heavenly Emperor's Palace.

However, after reaching this level of cultivation, he encountered a bottleneck and was unable to break through it.

The path from Great Dao Saint to Primordial Supreme is blocked by a massive obstacle, like an insurmountable chasm, which firmly obstructs his cultivation journey.

He had always been extremely courageous in his cultivation, making rapid progress, but here he encountered an unprecedented predicament. Moreover, this predicament could only be overcome and conquered by himself.

For a long time, he was stuck in this stage, only able to slowly accumulate power and wait for the opportunity to prove himself and become a Venerable.

The chanting of the Great Dao rolled in, and Lu Ya sat upright in the void, his eyes closed, as if he had entered a mysterious realm without form or color.

This sacred chant is a severe test of everyone's faith.

He was not afraid of this at all!
Moreover, under the influence of the Great Dao's chanting, his previously stagnant cultivation showed signs of loosening.

The blazing sun flames blazed up and surrounded him. Lu Ya suddenly opened his eyes and exclaimed excitedly, "The supreme opportunity has arrived!" His face was full of joy.

But then, as if he had thought of something, he hesitated for a moment and finally gave up, choosing not to attain enlightenment and become a supreme being on the spot.

In fact, it wasn't just Lu Ya and the previous person; under the pressure of the Great Dao's Brahma Sound, several others successively comprehended the True Profound and obtained the opportunity to prove themselves and become Venerables. Unfortunately, they all ultimately chose not to break through this time!
"These people aren't stupid. The Hongmeng Grand Ceremony is just a test, yet it has given them the possibility of breaking through and proving their Dao. If they can really defeat all their opponents and win the grand prize of the Hongmeng Grand Ceremony, how great would that opportunity be!" a Supreme Being secretly discussed.

"A primordial treasure?" a supreme being said thoughtfully.

"Hmph, I think it's definitely more than just a Primordial Treasure." Another Supreme Being replied, "A Primordial Treasure might have some value to us. But for a Great Emperor like myself, a single Primordial Treasure is certainly not something I can show off."

"Alas, what a pity, we didn't have the chance to participate," one of the supreme beings said regretfully.

Although some people gained the opportunity to attain enlightenment and become Venerables through the Great Dao's Brahma Sound, many more could not withstand it and quickly vanished into nothingness.

Moreover, as the chanting of the Great Dao continued to spread, more and more people could not hold on, and one Great Dao Saint after another collapsed and was forcibly eliminated!

One after another, and eventually even vast numbers of Great Dao Saints perished due to the collapse of their Dao hearts. Seeing this scene, countless cultivators in the audience trembled and couldn't help but gasp in astonishment.

This is terrifying! It's like the end of the world.

Soon, under the interrogation of the Great Dao's sacred chants, only about a dozen Great Dao Saints remained in this great world.

These dozen or so Great Dao Saints all obtained the opportunity to become Venerables by relying on the Great Dao's Brahma Sound! As for the others, all those who could not overcome the Great Dao's Brahma Sound died with their Dao hearts destroyed.

"Not bad, more than ten people actually survived the test of the Great Dao's Brahma Sound." Ying Zheng smiled slightly.

However, this number is still too large.

With a thought, the second test for the Great Dao Saints began.

Suddenly, the Great Dao fluctuated within the Great World, and then countless Dao principles were born. Before everyone's incredulous eyes, figures that looked exactly like the dozen or so surviving Great Dao Saints appeared out of thin air.

"Great Heavenly Venerable, I am Lu Ya Daoist, greetings to fellow Daoist!"

Before Lu Ya, the figure that looked exactly like him smiled and bowed to him.

"A clone? An illusion?" Lu Ya raised an eyebrow.

"Fellow Daoist, you are mistaken, terribly mistaken. I am not some clone or illusion; I am the real Daoist Lu Ya," the figure said again.

"Hmph!" Lu Ya snorted coldly, revealing a sneer.

However, the figure grinned maliciously, "Kill you, and I will become the true Lu Ya Daoist!"

After saying that, the figure suddenly attacked Lu Ya Daoist.

With a wave of his hand, the Great Dao surged infinitely, and his every move possessed the power to tear the heavens and shatter the earth!
Lu Ya was startled by such a powerful attack.

"This thief is no ordinary person; his combat strength is no less than mine!" Lu Ya's heart trembled, and he immediately put away his previous contempt and disdain.

He knew that this thief was definitely a formidable enemy, and if he didn't go all out, he might very well die at his hands.

In an instant, in this vast world, a dozen or so Great Dao Saints were engaged in fierce battle with these figures that looked exactly like themselves.

They fought with all their might, causing the heavens and earth to tremble and the void to collapse.

The battle reached a fever pitch almost immediately, with powerful Dao Saints fighting fiercely in a brutal and terrifying manner.

"Just now we were testing their Dao heart, now we're testing their combat strength?" Nuwa said softly beside Ying Zheng.

"I suppose so." Ying Zheng nodded slightly.

"These phantoms are just as powerful as their real counterparts. As the saying goes, a person's greatest enemy is themselves, so I'll see if they can truly defeat themselves."

“Hmm,” Nuwa said, then smiled, “but it will probably take a long time for them to decide the winner this way.”

"Let them fight it out," Ying Zheng said leisurely.

The Great Primordial Ceremony is held only once every five billion years. If it were to end in just one or two thousand years, that would be too boring.

While the remaining Great Dao Saints were fighting to the death, the tribulation of wind had already passed in the first Great World.

After the tribulation, fewer than a hundred people remained. Of the initial millions of Primordial Saints, only a handful survived the three trials.

But before they could catch their breath, a new challenge descended upon them.

The world is beginning to crumble.

First, the void shattered, large chunks of the void collapsed, then it crumbled little by little, and then a terrifying wave of tribulation began to spread!
Faintly, amidst the calamity, a gigantic millstone slowly emerged!

"It's the world-destroying millstone!!"

"It's a cataclysmic disaster!"

"Boundless Great Emperor, this is the final tribulation!"

"hiss!!"

I wonder how many people gasped in shock!

This is a calamity that will destroy the Great World, and the severity of this calamity is so great that it is terrifying enough to bury even the Great Dao Saints.

Faced with such a great calamity, the Hunyuan Saints who had survived until now all changed their expressions drastically.

"Quickly form a formation! We can form a formation to withstand the calamity!!" a Primordial Saint shouted sternly.

However, no one responded to him.

This is not a real apocalyptic calamity. This is a test given to them by Ying Zheng. The purpose is to eliminate the unsuitable people and leave only a few, or even just one person!
Even Yang Jian dared not be careless under the world-destroying millstone.

He took a deep breath, his body radiating Daoist energy and his true essence surging. Then he shouted, "Hah! Pan Shen True Form!"

With that majestic declaration, he instantly transformed into a towering giant, 120,000 feet tall.

This giant was bare-chested, had three heads and six arms, each head had three bright eyes, and each arm had mysterious hand seals.

With a wave of his hand seal, a surge of immense divine power erupted, stabilizing the surrounding void and preventing its collapse!

The endless torrent of chaos surged and raged, and the terrifying power of the world-destroying millstone crushed everything in its path, but the giant stood firm like a pillar supporting the sky, stubbornly holding up this crumbling void.

"Ugh!! Fellow Daoist, lend me a hand!" A Primordial Saint, unable to withstand the terrifying power of the World-Destroying Millstone, rushed towards Yang Jian, intending to use Yang Jian's power to share the pressure of the World-Destroying Millstone.

However, Yang Jian merely snorted coldly, then swung out one arm with a devastating force, unleashing a punch. "Kill!"

With this punch, the heavens and earth changed color, and the saint was instantly blasted to pieces, turning into countless flying debris.

Seeing how fierce Yang Jian was, the other sages dared not approach and could only grit their teeth and endure.

The world-destroying millstone continued to grind, and the speed at which the great world shattered increased. As the great world shattered, the calamity waves became more and more intense, and the power of the world-destroying millstone also continued to increase.

Soon, the entire world shattered completely, like a snowball rolling downhill. At this point, the power of the World-Destroying Grinding Mill had reached its terrifying peak.

One after another, the Primordial Saints were crushed and defeated by the power of the World-Destroying Millstone.

These defeated saints were swiftly banished from the battlefield, falling into the void, their faces filled with frustration and regret. (End of Chapter)
