Fighting the Masked Man

The Heavenly Court, the Chaotic Realm.

Yao Yan sat cross-legged in the void, with a Dharma image shimmering with spiritual light floating in front of him. Dozens of chaotic chains bound him, preventing him from moving. This Dharma image was the last primordial Dharma body of the Great Thousand World - the Tai Ling Holy Body.

It possesses the most powerful spiritual energy in the world, and can influence the spiritual energy of the entire universe to a certain extent, controlling a portion of the power of heaven and earth.

"Buzz!"

The Tai Ling Holy Body possesses some innate spirituality, and at this moment it seems to sense a threat. The spiritual light around its body keeps flashing, turning into a vast wave of spiritual power, trying to shatter the chaotic chains binding it. However, the surging spiritual power is swallowed up by the chaotic chains the moment it gets close, without even causing the slightest ripple.

Yao Yan's eyes flashed with chaotic light as he peered into the secrets of the Tai Ling Sacred Body and the innate Dao patterns within its Dharma form. After comprehending most of it, he no longer hesitated and directly absorbed it into his body, forcibly refining the Tai Ling Sacred Body with his own chaotic origin.

Within the sea of ​​primordial chaos within the body, the five primordial Dharma bodies are submerged, their primordial power being drawn upon by the sea of ​​chaos to nourish their continuous progress.

Four of the original Dharma bodies had dimmed, while only the Tai Ling Holy Body, which had just been submerged, still shone with spiritual light, like a wisp of star in the Chaotic Sea... but it was just a wisp of star, unable to resist the erosion of the Chaotic Sea, and it was only a matter of time before it was devoured.

"The five original Dharma bodies have been gathered, and only the last step remains... However, if we want to gather the power of all living beings, we still need to add fuel to the fire of the Great Thousand World!" Yao Yan pondered his next plan. With his current strength, he was not afraid even when facing the Heavenly Evil God with all nine eyes open, and he was even confident that he could directly suppress and kill him.

However, his ultimate goal is clearly not a Heavenly Evil God; what he needs to consider is how to make the Heavenly Ranking his own.

"brush!"

As Yao Yan's mind stirred, the Chaos Realm trembled slightly. A massive cauldron, emanating surging chaotic energy, floated out of the void. Its terrifying aura and weight shattered the space along its path, seemingly unable to bear its weight.

At this moment, within the Chaos Cauldron, a vast amount of fortune was gathering, nurturing a true artifact spirit. Above it, five drops of purplish-black essence blood floated, shimmering like gemstones with an evil purple light and a faint, holy golden light.

These five drops of blood were stolen by the Evil Emperor from the Heavenly Evil God. They contained the essence of the Heavenly Evil God's evil eye, and the power contained within was enough to easily overwhelm a Heavenly Demon Emperor.

"True divine blood..." Yao Yan murmured his assessment.

Leaving aside the style of the Heavenly Evil God, his origins are indeed extraordinary. He is the offspring of the Second Sequence God of the Heavenly Origin Realm after his fall, equivalent to the reincarnation of this Second Sequence God. After wandering for countless years, he created the Extraterrestrial Evil Race.

With such strength, rebirth from a drop of blood is merely a common occurrence. Every drop of blood contains one's own life imprint and even will. A single drop of blood can destroy a supercontinent and shatter countless lower planes in an instant.

However, in Yao Yan's hands, these five drops of divine blood were excellent resources for cultivation.

As is well known, chaotic entities are not picky eaters.

Yao Yan also wanted to know what the true gods looked like, what kind of innate Dao patterns were contained in their bloodlines, and whether they could comprehend the cultivation methods and rules of the Heavenly Origin Realm from them. After all, the innate gods were the innate races that were born at the beginning of the creation of heaven and earth, and their bloodlines contained innate Dao patterns. From the moment they were born, they were able to skillfully use the power of heaven and earth.

This is similar to the precursor of the original Dharmakaya.

Most of the cultivation techniques and supernatural abilities practiced by beings born after birth in this vast world are derived from these innate beings. All laws in the world are manifestations of the rules of heaven and earth.

"First, remove the impurities." Yao Yan's eyes flashed slightly, and then he manipulated the Chaos Cauldron to forcibly temper the five drops of divine blood, burning away all the evil origin contained within, leaving only the purest Dao and Law. These were the innate Dao patterns outlined in the body of the Heavenly Evil God at the beginning of his birth, a gift from heaven and earth.

However, for now, all of this will become Yao Yan's possessions, and will be the most crucial step for him to move from an acquired chaotic body to an innate chaotic body.

By returning to one's original nature after birth, one can become a chaotic deity.

With the innate Dao patterns of the five original Dharma bodies, plus the innate Dao patterns contained in the blood essence of the Heavenly Evil God's Evil Eye, completing this final step was not difficult for him, after all, he had already taken a big step forward.

The moment he received the inheritance from the Heavenly Array Elder, his path of the Chaotic Body was already close to perfection; now it is simply being completed.

……

……

As the great war quickly came to an end, the Great Thousand World once again fell into a brief period of peace. During this time, the Maha Ancient Clan was exterminated by the Great Thousand Palace for colluding with the extraterrestrial evil race. This incident caused a great uproar, making the entire Great Thousand World tremble. Who could have imagined that the Maha Ancient Clan, one of the five ancient races, would actually side with the extraterrestrial evil race? How terrifying and horrifying!

This incident also made the Mahagu tribe a disgrace to the world, and they were despised by everyone.

Not long after, another message arrived.

The young patriarch of the Maha Ancient Clan obtained the original Dharma Body of the Black Sky Ancient Clan, the Night God Ancient Body, and his own strength reached the Saint-grade Heavenly Supreme. He also joined the Extraterrestrial Evil Clan, transforming the spiritual power in his body into the demonic energy of the Extraterrestrial Evil Clan, and became the new Heavenly Demon Emperor of the Extraterrestrial Evil Clan.

He originally intended to ambush and kill Lin Dong, the disciple of the Heavenly Emperor, in the Divine Beast Plains, but he never expected that Lin Dong, with the strength of a half-step Saint Realm, would withstand the attack of the Maha Ancient Clan. Under their pressure, he even broke through to the Saint Realm Heavenly Supreme, forcing Maha Tian to flee and escape into the endless void.

This incident also made Lin Dong's name resound throughout the entire world once again. At the same time, many people congratulated the Heavenly Court, saying that the Heavenly Court had gained an invincible supreme expert at the Saint-grade Heavenly Sovereign level.

Since entering the Great Thousand World, Lin Dong's battle record has been extremely terrifying, second only to the Heavenly Emperor.

The combat power of the master and disciple can only be described as exaggerated. They fought against opponents of higher levels almost all the way, and became stronger with each battle. Their cultivation had almost no bottlenecks. In just a few decades, they completed the path that others had taken thousands of years to walk. Their cultivation speed can only be described as unbelievable.

……

Let's set aside the external turmoil for now.

The Heavenly Court is currently unusually peaceful and serene, seemingly unaffected by the great war. It's as if all turmoil has been kept at bay, and the Heavenly Emperor alone has withstood all the pressure. Everyone seems to firmly believe that the Heavenly Emperor is invincible. This is thanks to the Heavenly Emperor's daily performance and combat prowess.

Although Yao Yan's main body was in seclusion, he still spared a part of his mind to accompany Xiao Luo Xian, teaching her cultivation and growth. Xiao Luo Xian's talent was also exceptionally terrifying. As a Primordial Supreme Realm cultivator, she hardly needed to cultivate. She was born with an understanding of the various rules of heaven and earth and could manipulate the power of heaven and earth, a method that only a Heavenly Supreme could control.

Perhaps in just over ten years, as Xiao Luoxian comes of age, her strength will naturally advance to the Heavenly Sovereign level, and she may even reach a level above the Saint level.

In this regard.

Yao Yan had also figured out the direction for cultivation, and handed over the most original version of the Chaos Scripture to Xiao Luoxian. This version of the Chaos Scripture was based on the Burning Technique and was derived from the scriptures. It could transform all things in heaven and earth into its own use, and could grow and evolve infinitely until it grew into an innate god.

He had even thought of his opponent: once Xiao Luoxian came of age and entered the Heavenly Supreme Realm, he would have Mohe Tian spar with her... Mohe Tian was a worthy opponent, someone who could be passed down for three generations.

Let's leave that aside for now.

Yao Yan looked at Lin Dong, who had broken through to the Saint-grade Heavenly Sovereign realm, and smiled with satisfaction. Then he gave a suggestion: "Your path is complete. In just a little time, you will be able to reach the peak of the Saint-grade Heavenly Sovereign realm, and even touch the God realm... This realm was deduced by me based on the Heavenly Evil God."

"Is the realm above the Saintly Heavenly Supreme Realm the God Realm?" Lin Dong was filled with longing for this unfamiliar realm. With a higher realm as his goal, he was confident that he could step into it.

"Yes, the path I am currently on is the path of the God Realm, which is similar to that of the Heavenly Evil God. Besides that, there is a second path, which is to leave a name on the Sky Ranking and thereby control the power of the Great Thousand Worlds. This allows one to borrow the power of the world. This level is equivalent to the God Realm, but the path is different, and it can be called the Dominator Realm!"

Yao Yan did not hold back. At his level of strength, there was no need for him to hide anything from Lin Dong. Moreover, he was indeed very satisfied with this chief disciple and hoped that the other party could make further progress.

"Teacher, what is the difference between the two paths?" Lin Dong thought of the scene when Yao Yan was subjected to the Heavenly Tribulation and couldn't help but ask. He didn't understand why his teacher didn't choose to leave his name on the Heavenly Ranking, but instead attacked the Heavenly Ranking and even triggered the Heavenly Tribulation, almost losing his life.

"What do you think the world beyond the Great Thousand Worlds is like? Since the Heavenly Evil God and his extraterrestrial evil races can find the Great Thousand Worlds, it means that there are other great realms, or even stronger beings, hidden in the endless void. If you want to explore these unknown worlds in the future, then choose the path of the God Realm, where great power is within yourself, rather than relying on external objects to reach this realm!"

Yao Yan said calmly and unhurriedly.

He always found it somewhat unbelievable that the Yan Emperor and others in the original work chose the path of the Sovereign Realm. Would a true strongman really be willing to become a puppet of the Heavenly Dao?

Even if the power obtained through the Heavenly Ranking is strong, it still doesn't belong to them. Once the will of the Great Thousand Worlds develops true intelligence, it will be a devastating blow to these 'Heavenly Saints'.

It could even trigger a cataclysmic war, restarting everything in the world.

Lin Dong's eyes flickered, and he couldn't help but ask, "Teacher, are there even stronger beings outside the realm?!"

“I don’t know, but the unknown is always terrifying. When you were in Tianxuan Continent, did you ever think that there was a vast world beyond the realm, and beyond that world, there were extraterrestrial evil races… You have to make the worst-case scenario plan for everything,” Yao Yan said in a deep voice.

Because of his time travel, Yao Yan has a very high perspective. He knows that the true strongest can cut through the river of time, travel between the past, present and future, and prove themselves forever, being the strongest version of themselves at every point in time... Yao Yan is not yet able to do that.

On the path of cultivation, the gap will become greater as you go further. Similarly, reaching this level has nothing to do with talent; it depends on personal understanding and the path you take.

"Teacher, I understand!" Lin Dong bowed solemnly to Yao Yan. He knew that if his teacher had not reminded him, he would have chosen the path of the Sovereign Realm rather than the path of the God Realm if he were to face a choice in the future.

However, Yao Yan's words about the power returning to oneself reminded him that if he were to actually leave his name on the Sky Ranking, wouldn't that add another layer of constraint to himself?

He wouldn't mind fighting to the death for the world, even at the cost of his own life.

However, this does not mean that Lin Dong wants his future to be permanently bound to the Great Thousand World. Especially after learning about the secrets of the outer world from Yao Yan, he also has some expectations and impulses in his heart, wanting to see a wider world.

After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Lin Dong prepared to go into seclusion. He needed to further enhance his strength before the final battle, even reaching the level of a god. Only in this way could he be qualified to help his teacher, instead of watching his teacher being besieged by enemies while he was powerless to help.

As Lin Dong left, Yao Yan sat quietly in the pavilion, gazing at the exotic flowers and plants in the garden, lost in thought.

"How is your injury?"

A clear and intellectual voice entered Yao Yan's ears. A moment later, Gu Xun'er appeared in Yao Yan's sight. She was wearing a light blue dress, with a graceful figure. Her eyes were filled with gentleness and concern, and Yao Yan's figure was reflected in her clear eyes.

"My injuries have long since healed. This seclusion is for further advancement," Yao Yan said softly, looking at Gu Xun'er.

"If I had known that the Great Thousand World would be so troublesome, I would have preferred to stay in the lower plane all along." Gu Xun'er looked at Yao Yan with heartache and sighed helplessly.

As for the reason, it is naturally the incompetence of the Great Thousand Worlds. After nearly 50,000 years, the one who can finally carry the flag is Yao Yan, who ascended from a lower plane. There are not even any comrades who can fight alongside him. They can only watch as Yao Yan fights against two opponents of the same level by himself.

In the future, there may even be three.

Yao Yan knew that Gu Xun'er didn't have much affection for the world; she only cared about her own safety. She smiled and said, "There's no way to escape it anyway~"

"I'm just worried about you. I don't know how much time the extraterrestrial evil race can give the Great Thousand World. I'm afraid that the Heavenly Evil God and the Evil Emperor will compromise and cooperate. In that case, you will have to fight against three beings of the same level by yourself!" Gu Xun'er clenched her fists. She wanted to help Yao Yan, but she couldn't help him at all.

After her strength reached the Heavenly Sovereign level, her cultivation speed slowed down. It was unknown how long it would take to reach the Saint-grade level, and the extraterrestrial evil race obviously wouldn't give her that time.

Within a hundred years...

Yao Yan pondered the script for a moment. Once his main body completed the final step, the great war would naturally begin. A mere few decades would pass in the blink of an eye. However, Gu Xun'er was clearly unaware of these events. (End of Chapter)
