Awakening from the Devouring Starry Sky

Chapter 887 The Ultimate Four-Step Dao Lord
In the Taoist Immortal Palace, Ji Ning used his innate divine weapon to test and finally found twelve kinds of precious materials and treasures that could allow the innate divine weapon to devour and grow, but he could not gather them all together, and finally he only got the Nine-bend Cold Marrow.

But when Ji Ning mentioned the last kind of black fire sinking stone, a seemingly ordinary one-horned young man beside Lord Mangya released a vast and terrifying aura of the Lord level. Lord Lan Hao knew that there was black fire sinking stone in a place called Golem Stone Wall in the endless darkness outside the Endless Territory, which was the Flame Dragon Territory. He needed Di Ke and Ji Ning to take out one hundred Lengyan Dinghua Fruits, and Lord Lan Hao would take them there.

After Lord Lan Hao made his life oath, Di Ke took out a hundred Lengyan Dinghua fruits and gave them to Ji Ning. Then Ji Ning and Jiu Chen, the good brothers who were destined to be together for life and death, set off together with Lord Lan Hao.

After discussing with the Wine Saint and the Palace Master of Lixing, Di Ke quickly decided on a time to venture into the depths of Yuxinghai.
Of course, before leaving, both Di Ke and Ji Ning also returned to the Three Realms and left some resources and treasures for the Three Realms. After all, they were going to venture out, and one adventure might take a long time. If the Three Realms wanted to develop rapidly and cultivate more powerful people, it was not enough to rely on the guidance of Di Ke and Ji Ning's clones in the Three Realms. The assistance of various resources and treasures was also necessary.

Moreover, this time in the Yibo Realm, Di Ke and Ji Ning, who killed some peak Daojuns and second-level Daojuns, did obtain a lot of treasures. Many of them that they could not use were very useful to the immortals and demons in the three realms.

At the same time, Di Ke and Ji Ning, whose strength had reached the peak level among Daojun and were even considered top powerhouses in the entire Endless Territory, were going to a place that was too dangerous for their followers, so Ji Ning directly sent his followers away, and what Di Ke brought with him in the cave world were only the clones of Gehuo and the others.

After the turmoil in the Yi Bo Realm, the Endless Territory returned to peace. Then, time passed like flowing water, and hundreds of millions of years passed in the blink of an eye... For many ancient and powerful people in the Endless Territory who had lived for a long time, this was only a very short period of time. However, for the real monstrous geniuses, hundreds of millions of years were enough for them to make a leap in strength.

Deep in the Yuxing Sea, in the dark void, among a group of mountains with obvious traces of battle and a large number of collapsed peaks, under the narrow gap between two steep black cliffs, a faint red light can be seen in the endless dark abyss, as if the fire of hell is jumping, faintly emitting a strange hot and destructive breath, causing the space in the abyss to vibrate and distort.
In the vague abyss where red light loomed, a figure could be vaguely seen sitting cross-legged. The invisible fluctuations of time and space made the energy under the abyss more violent and chaotic.
On the edge of the black cliff above, Palace Master Li Xing, who was carrying a machete on his back, and the Wine Saint, who was wearing a black robe and exuding a mysterious aura, stood side by side. Looking at the abyss below where the energy was becoming increasingly violent, Palace Master Li Xing couldn't help but frown and asked, "What on earth is he practicing? He actually practiced for so long this time?"

"With his comprehension, even if he merged the strongest Daos of several time and space, he should have been able to advance no further in realm and truly reached the edge of the Dao. However, he has been making great progress over the years, and his strength is becoming more and more unfathomable and incomprehensible! Sometimes I really doubt whether the peak Dao Lord is really the strongest Dao Lord, and whether there is an even stronger Dao Lord?" The Wine Saint at the side could not help but say.

"A Dao Lord who is stronger than a peak Dao Lord? How is that possible?" Palace Master Li Xing shook his head, while the Wine Sage asked, "Then how do you explain that Dicko is so much stronger than us?"

"This..." Palace Master Li Xing was speechless. After a moment of silence, he said, "Dike is indeed the most evil Dao Lord that I know of. He practices so hard because he wants to have a glimmer of hope of succeeding in merging with the Dao, right? If he really succeeds in merging with the Dao and becomes a Lord, he may become a very powerful Lord. It is not impossible for him to surpass the Lord or even rival the Lord of the Different Universe."

"It is indeed a monster," the Wine Saint sighed, a touch of sincere emotion flashed in his drunken eyes: "We have been in Yuxinghai for so long this time. If we hadn't followed Di Ke, we would have died several times. Although we have encountered many dangers these days, the gains from these hundreds of millions of years are more than what we have gained in the long years of cultivation in the past! Now, I finally see some hope of merging with the Dao." "Yes! For us peak Dao Lords, merging with the Dao is too difficult. It is not easy to see a glimmer of hope," Palace Master Li Xing also nodded in agreement: "Although our gains in these hundreds of millions of years far exceed all the gains from our past adventures in Yuxinghai, if we cannot succeed in merging with the Dao, it will all be in vain."

As the two were talking, suddenly the space and time under the abyss became disordered, as if a terrible space storm had blown up, time was disordered, everything seemed to be in chaos, and at the same time a terrible breath spread from under the abyss like a giant dragon awakening...
"What?" Palace Master Li Xing and the Wine Saint were horrified. They were certainly familiar with the aura belonging to Dicko, but this familiar aura made them feel as if it was more terrifying than some Eternal Emperors, or even the Lord of the Holy City.

"What's going on? This aura...how is it possible?" Then, Xiao Meng Dao Jun, King Ge Que, Sika Dao Jun, Xue Huan Dao Jun, Xing Yun Palace Master, and Shi Jiu, who were practicing in the surroundings and were also alarmed at this moment, appeared one after another beside Li Xing Palace Master and Jiu Sheng, and looked at the chaotic abyss below with suspicion.

But then, the chaotic time and space in the abyss seemed to freeze. The transition between movement and stillness was so strange that it made Palace Master Li Xing and the others feel as if their consciousness had stagnated and slowed down.
Buzz...The next moment, accompanied by invisible fluctuations, ripple-like spatial fluctuations spread from the abyss of everything being stagnant, and then an illusory figure seemed to be condensed and born out of the void, turning into the figure of Dicko.

However, the solid figure of Dico made Palace Master Li Xing and the others feel as if they were facing the void. There was not the slightest fluctuation of Dico's aura. If they did not open their eyes to see him, they would not be able to detect Dico's appearance and approach even with their eyes closed.

"Haha..." While Palace Master Li Xing and the others were in doubt, Dicko in the void above the abyss laughed out loud, his eyes glowing with excitement, and he thought to himself, "It's been hundreds of millions of years! The four steps of the Ultimate Space-Time Dao are finally completed. Now I only need one step to achieve the Dao. Once I succeed, I can become the Ultimate Emperor at the same level of strength as the Supreme. I even have the potential to continue to improve and surpass ordinary Supremes until I become the Ultimate Supreme and refine and control the entire cultivator universe."

"Thanks to Supreme Bolin's guidance and the adventures in Yuxinghai over the past few hundred million years, otherwise I would not have been able to break through so quickly." Di Ke's joy was beyond words. He had experienced so much, and with a bird's-eye view, his comprehension was already very high. Over the past few hundred million years, he had been practicing and comprehending, and he had a deep understanding of some of the Daos he was good at. However, the Dao of time and space was too mysterious after all, and more difficult to comprehend than the simple Dao of the sword or the Dao of the knife. Therefore, Di Ke, who did not spend much time from the first step to the third step, took hundreds of millions of years to succeed in the last step.

With this breakthrough, Di Ke's realm is no less than that of the Lord of the Holy City, and he can even be ranked at the top level among the Lords of the Holy City. With the method of integrating his mental power and divine power, his real strength is no less than that of the Heart Sword Emperor who succeeded in merging with the Dao. When he explodes, he can definitely fight against the masters.
