Daojun, start from Penglai foundation building

Jiutou Mountain, Qijue Cave.

Compared to the previous laughter and chatter, the atmosphere in the Seven Wonders Cave was somewhat silent at this moment.

Lin Fan, Ling Yu, Xuan Yi, Xu Yuanzi and the others did not look very good, especially Ling Yu, whose face was so gloomy that it was almost as if water had frozen in it.

Opposite Lin Fan and his group, Kong Zhen, Sihai Zhenjun, Shaobai Mingjun, and others were exchanging whispers.

Shao Bai Mingjun glanced at Ling Yu and the others, then looked at Xuan Xin, Xuan He and the others who seemed to be keeping quiet, and couldn't help but shake his head: Ever since everyone was defeated by the Three Calamities Lord, the atmosphere has become increasingly strange.

The appearance of that Three Calamities Lord was too sudden and his methods were too fierce, so much so that no one had the power to resist him, and even taking turns to fight him was difficult to defeat.

This situation was unprecedented for all the families since entering the Nine Provinces Realm. It felt as if a figure like Jiang Sheng had appeared on the other side, overwhelming them with his power.

At this moment, Shao Bai Mingjun could understand how Jin Yang and Xiao Gong felt when they faced Jiang Sheng in Buzhou Realm—a feeling of oppression where they were so overwhelmed they couldn't even lift their heads.

"The Lord of the Three Calamities, when did such a being appear in all the heavens and myriad realms?"

Jin Qiong's extremely soft remark made Ling Yu, Xuan Yi, and Xu Yuanzi all look up at the same time.

Seeing the somewhat unpleasant expressions on the faces of the three, even the usually composed Jin Qiong silently lowered her head as if she hadn't said a word.

Lingyu, however, looked at Lin Fan and said, "Lingzhao, Jinqiong is right. When did someone like the Three Calamities Lord appear in all the heavens and myriad realms?"

"You have many friends throughout the myriad realms; could you possibly uncover the truth about this Three Calamities Lord?"

Lin Fan shook his head with a wry smile: "Senior sister, as soon as I met that person, I asked around among my friends, but they all said they had never heard of him."

“I always felt that this person didn’t seem to belong to our generation.”

Unlike our generation?

Xuan Yi seemed to understand something: "You mean, he's from the previous generation?"

Lin Fan said, "Brother Xuanyi, putting aside everything else, whether it's the people of the current generation from the holy lands and sects of the myriad realms, or the people of the unorthodox sects, divine sects, or Buddhist sects and demon races, they are all holy lands and sects, so it's impossible for them not to understand each other."

"Moreover, among our generation, who doesn't know who has made a name for themselves? Whether it's those few in Buddhism, or those in the supernatural or unorthodox sects, we at least know their names."

"But this Three Calamities Lord seems to have sprung from a stone. Doesn't that seem a bit too strange?"

Xu Yuanzi chimed in, "Ling Zhao is right. It's only possible that we can't find any information about the previous generation for a while. After all, going back three to five thousand years, who knows how many old guys are hiding in the myriad worlds?"

Xu Yuanzi's words were extremely impolite, clearly indicating that he was also angered by the Three Calamities Lord.

Lingyu looked at Xuanyi, who nodded: "What Lingzhao and Xuyuanzi said makes sense."

"It's not that I'm bragging, but among my peers, whether it's Refining the Sun, Gathering the Moon, or Lesser Yang and Lesser Yin, I can hold my own even when fighting two against one. But then a Three Calamities Lord suddenly appeared, who can overpower all of us."

"Although his aura resembles that of someone at the peak of the Void Refinement Realm, it always seems somewhat unstable. How strange, how strange!"

As he spoke, Xuan Yi suddenly remembered something and looked at Guang Hui and Guang Wen, who had been silent all along: "Venerable ones, do you see any problems with the Three Calamities Lord?"

Guanghui and Guangwen exchanged a glance, their expressions hesitant. After thinking for a moment, Guanghui said, "Fellow Daoists, with our meager cultivation, it is difficult for us to discern the truth about that person. Their cultivation far surpasses ours."

Xuan Yi understood. Guang Hui seemed not to say anything, but he had already revealed a lot: his cultivation far surpassed that of Guang Hui and Guang Wen, to the point that even the two Six Wisdom Buddhist disciples of Jin Chan Temple could not distinguish the truth from the falsehood. That Three Calamities Lord was indeed problematic!

Seeing that everyone had reached a consensus, Shao Bai Mingjun said, "If that Three Calamities Lord is truly from the previous generation, why not ask Senior Yuan Yi to take action?"

Upon hearing this, Lingyu shook her head: "Uncle-Master Yuanyi was just there to back us up. If it weren't for True Monarch Lingfeng of the Qiankun Dao Sect showing up, Uncle-Master Yuanyi wouldn't have stepped in so early."

“Apart from the Five Tribulations True Monarch, other beings with higher cultivation levels are not worth the trouble of Uncle-Master Yuanyi.”

“Even if the Three Calamities Lord is slightly stronger than us, his cultivation level won’t be much higher. If we pool our wisdom, we can always find a way to defeat him. If we need Uncle Yuanyi to take action even when facing a Three Calamities Lord, wouldn’t we be too incompetent?”

Xu Yuanzi said, "That's right. The aura of that Three Calamities Lord is somewhat unstable. Even if his cultivation is higher than ours, it's not by much. If we can't fight with magic, we can fight with formations. If we can't fight with formations, we can discuss the Dao. We must rely on ourselves to turn the tide."

"If all else fails, I'll have Mingjizi and the others come. With the combined strength of the Seven Sons of Chixiao, we'll set up the Eastern Heavenly Gang Formation. I refuse to believe we can't defeat him!"

Following Xu Yuanzi's statement, Xuan Yi also said, "Fellow Daoist Xu Yuanzi, there's no need for this. Let's fight him again in a few days to determine his true strength before considering how to deal with him."

"If he is indeed a contemporary, then we will find a way to defeat him; if he is from the previous generation, then it is reasonable for us to fight with numbers against fewer people."

Lin Fan clapped his hands and said, "Brother Xuanyi is right. Instead of discussing it like this, let's have another fight with him and see what he's really made of."

With repeated encouragement, everyone was ready to fight the Three Calamities Lord and his allies again.

Seven days later.

Zhu Yanhai, Prisoner Island.

Both sides gathered here again.

Having prepared to swarm the other party once they were confirmed to be not of the same generation, in addition to Lin Fan, Ling Yu, Xuan Yi, and a group of true disciples of Qinghua Dao Sect, Xu Yuanzi, Zhen Leizi, and Yan Huazi of Chixiao Dao Sect, Kong Zhen and Jin Qiong of Demon Emperor Palace, Guang Wen and Guang Hui of Jinchan Temple, as well as Sihai Zhenjun and Shaobai Mingjun all came to the scene, which can be described as the full force of the elite.

The Mountain and River Taoist sect alone has seventeen true disciples who have reached the Void Refinement stage.

There were also quite a few people from the Nine Provinces Realm, including Wen Yuan, Han Yuan, Xiang Yuan, Shao Yang and Shao Yin of the Yin-Yang Orthodox School, Lian Ri and Cai Yue of Dao Yi Palace and the true disciples of the two schools, as well as Xue Hai Dao Ren, Wu Shui Xie Jun, and the main force of this battle, San Zai Jie Jun, a total of eighteen Dong Xuan Venerables were dispatched.

This was even before the Huayun Dao Sect and Kongdong Dao Sect had made their moves, and before all the true disciples of the Qiankun Dao Sect had arrived.

Otherwise, the Nine Provinces Realm could easily mobilize thirty Cave Profound Realm beings.

After both sides took their positions, Lingyu immediately stepped forward: "Three Calamities Lord, my defeat last time was due to carelessness. Let's try again this time!"

The handsome and elegant Three Calamities Lord smiled gently and said, "Since Fellow Daoist Lingyu has this intention, then this humble Daoist is willing to accompany you."

"Fellow Daoist Lingyu, please."

As he spoke, the Three Calamities Lord assumed a stance that invited Ling Yu to make the first move.

Seeing the Three Calamities Lord's appearance, Ling Yu did not hesitate and immediately condensed thunder magic. In an instant, thunderclouds gathered, lightning flashed and thunder roared, accompanied by a dazzling blue-purple heavenly thunder crashing down, and a majestic thunder dharma image of a hundred thousand feet tall, with three heads and six arms, took shape. The Supreme Clarity Heavenly Thunder God Venerable!
As the Dharma form coalesced, Lingyu raised her hand to condense the Dharma. The three-headed, six-armed Thunder Lord Dharma form reached into the thunderclouds and drew out the thunder blade and lightning halberd. In the next instant, the majestic thunder blade and lightning halberd in the hands of the 100,000-foot-tall Dharma form crashed down, triggering thousands of thunderbolts to roar. The dazzling thunderbolts poured down like a waterfall cascading down from the sky and scattering across the world.

In an instant, the overwhelming power of the thunder caused the true disciples of the Yin Yang Orthodox Sect and the Dao Yi Palace to change their expressions several times.

They are all sacred sites of the Xuanmen sect and true disciples of the Daoist school. They are well aware of the extent of their abilities and power in the Refining Void Daoist cultivation.

Although this wasn't the first time I'd seen Lingyu unleash lightning magic, I was still inevitably awestruck by its grandeur and magnificence. Lingyu of Penglai is one of the top three lightning magic users of our time!
Faced with Ling Yu's overwhelming divine might, the Three Calamities Lord smiled calmly, drawing upon the calamity energy between his hands, and with a gentle tear in the void, lightning flashed forth where the void shattered.

In an instant, pitch-black tribulation lightning surged forth, swirling around the palm of the Three Calamities Lord, emanating an aura of destruction that could annihilate all things.

As the tribulation lightning surged, Lian Ri, Cai Yue, Shao Yang, and Shao Yin all showed a solemn expression. Zhen Mu, Zhen Yun, Zhai Xing, Yi Su, and others felt as if the tribulation they had just overcome was about to descend again.

On the other side of the Mountain and River Realm, even Xuan Yi, Xu Yuanzi, Kong Zhen and others were wary, not to mention Xuan Xin, Xuan He and the others.

Even those who have transcended the three calamities in their cultivation of the Void Refining Realm would be willing to endure them again.

As the tribulation lightning surged in the hands of the Three Calamities Lord, Ling Yu felt that the canopy of fortune above her head was somewhat unstable, and the three flowers of the cauldron began to show signs of swaying.

But then the Three Calamities Lord laughed and said, "Fellow Daoist Lingyu's thunder technique is indeed remarkable, but my thunder technique is in no way inferior."

Before the words were finished, the Three Calamities Lord unleashed a bolt of tribulation lightning. In an instant, a deep and condensed tribulation aura roared out and swirled around Ling Yu's head, interfering with her cultivation. Immediately afterward, the pitch-black tribulation lightning, like a dragon, tore through the air. The lightning blades and halberds shattered instantly. The tribulation lightning continued its momentum and struck Ling Yu's Dharma Image directly. With just one strike, the Thunder Lord's Dharma Image was on the verge of collapse.

Ling Yu's face turned pale, as if her soul had been struck by an invisible force, causing her to feel dizzy and lightheaded. Just as Ling Yu was forcibly trying to circulate her magic, the Three Calamities Lord had already closed in, raising his hand and condensing tribulation lightning into a palm strike that sent Ling Yu flying.

Two moves!

With just two moves, the Three Calamities Lord severely injured and repelled Ling Yu.

Looking at Lingyu, whose face was pale and whose expression was still unwilling, the disciples of Yin Yang Orthodox Sect and Dao Yi Palace immediately cheered, while the expressions of the people from the Mountain and River Daoist side were inevitably somewhat solemn.

Lin Fan stepped forward and caught Ling Yu: "Senior Sister!"

Lingyu shook her head slightly: "He is indeed acting strangely."

Xuan Yi and Kong Zhen exchanged a glance, then stepped forward simultaneously: "Three Calamities Lord, we two will fight you together, do you dare to resist?!"

Seeing Xuan Yi and Kong Zhen rushing up together, the Three Calamities Lord laughed instead of getting angry: "Very well, this humble Daoist enjoys sparring with the geniuses of the holy lands the most."

Despite saying this, a chill flashed in the eyes of the Three Calamities Lord: He loved nothing more than tormenting the geniuses of the Holy Lands and watching these once arrogant and invincible geniuses have their Dao hearts shattered by his beatings.

How can it not be considered a cross-level battle when someone at the early stage of the Integration Realm is fighting against a group of Void Refinement Realm experts?

Just as he was pondering this, Xuan Yi and Kong Zhen joined forces and pressed down on him.

The two were old rivals who had fought for hundreds or even thousands of years in the Mountain and River Realm. Having been enemies and friends for so long, their cooperation was naturally incredibly tacit.

Xuan Yi's jade ruler shone brightly, drawing out the stars of the nine heavens. As thousands of stars shone in succession, his Ziwei destiny star hung high in the sky. The Emperor Star descended, pressing down on all directions. A majestic and powerful force swept over, and Xuan Yi was like a high and mighty emperor. Wherever the jade ruler in his hand pointed, boundless starlight surged like a thousand troops.

In an instant, the clang of swords and the neighing of horses filled the air, and a torrent of starlight pressed down, determined to sever the aura of the Three Calamities Lord and cut off the connection between his true form and the Dao Fruit.

"Ziwei Destiny - Suppressing Fortune and Destroying Dragons!"

At the same time, the peacock feather fan in Kong Zhen's hand had already transformed into a slender straight sword. As the Five Elements Divine Power was activated, the moment Xuan Yi used his magic to suppress the momentum of the Three Calamities Lord, Kong Zhen used his magic to raise the sword and slash diagonally.

"The Great Five Elements Technique - Five Elements Primal Magnetic Divine Blade!"

In an instant, the two supernatural powers pressed down simultaneously, their force like the heavens and earth pressing down, causing the surrounding area of ​​nearly ten million miles to change color and all spiritual energy to vanish.

Even when Lian Ri, Cai Yue, Shao Yang, and Shao Yin joined forces, they would still have to exert their utmost strength to face Xuan Yi and Kong Zhen, both at the pinnacle of the Void Refining Realm. Yet, the Three Calamities Lord remained calm and composed.

As the Three Calamities Lord raised his hand, the Three Calamities Law flowed endlessly, and strands of calamity energy and the breath of destruction gathered in his palm. Where his hands were clenched, the wind and the yin fire surged together.

“You two fellow Daoists are indeed extraordinary, but you alone are no match for me.”

"The wind fanned the flames, and the fire gained strength from the wind."

"I humbly request the two of you to appraise my skillful use of the Bifeng Yin Huo technique."

The Three Calamities Lord spoke humbly, but his eyes were full of contempt. As the Void Wind and the Dark Flame rose, the world fell silent in an instant.

The wind blows, scattering the soul through the body, while the yin fire burns the body, causing bones to rot and flesh to decay.

In an instant, the wind and fire of darkness covered the sky and the sun, engulfing thousands of miles of heaven and earth, and surged towards Xuan Yi and Kong Zhen like countless demons.

This is no ordinary wind and fire supernatural power, but rather the triumphant method of the Three Calamities Lord, the Wind and Fire Heavenly Demon Calamity.

It triggers the Bifeng and Yinhuo of the Three Calamities of Refining Emptiness, attracts the Qi of the Three Calamities and the breath of destruction, disturbs the Qi Canopy, erodes the spiritual platform of the soul, and then gives rise to countless heavenly demons that devour the opponent's true spirit and Dao fruit.

This move was ruthless and vicious, but on the surface it was nothing more than the most ordinary wind and fire magic.

As the swirling winds and eerie flames blotted out the sky, the howling of ghosts and wolves echoed from within them, disturbing the souls of Xuan Yi and Kong Zhen. In an instant, Xuan Yi and Kong Zhen felt their minds agitated, their souls restless, and their auras seemed on the verge of collapse.

The reason why the Three Calamities Lord did not use this move against Ling Yu earlier was because he knew that as long as he suppressed one of them, the true disciples of the Eastern Heaven Daoist family would inevitably be unable to resist fighting him again. By letting one go, he could kill two at once!
Looking at Xuan Yi and Kong Zhen, who were already shrouded in the Heavenly Tribulation of Wind and Fire, the Three Calamities Lord smiled: Xuan Yi, the current chief of the Qinghua Dao Sect? That's all for now.

While recuperating, Lingyu looked at the overwhelming wind and fire, sensing the deep malice emanating from it, and couldn't help but say, "Lingzhao, something's wrong! Quickly, take action to bring Xuanyi and Kongzhen back!"

Lin Fan naturally saw the problem, and without hesitation, he immediately raised the Xuanhuo Blade and rushed out, slashing with the blade and a crimson sun bloomed.

The Three Calamities Lord, seeing Lin Fan still dare to step forward, flashed a hint of disgust in his eyes: "Two against one is one thing, but you want three against one? Get down here!"

As he spoke, the Three Calamities Lord had already activated his Integration Dao, raising his hand to summon the tribulation lightning to transform into a towering pillar of lightning that crashed down upon Lin Fan.

In an instant, pitch-black lightning exploded overhead, and Lin Fan was also shaken to his core by the blast.

Just as the pitch-black lightning struck Lin Fan's head, a streak of sword light suddenly appeared from afar and shattered the lightning.

"Yun Xuan, retreat! Watch me kill him!" (End of Chapter)
