Dao Ye is going to ascend

Chapter 774 The Five Signs of Decay

Woo~
Stepping into the void, the Five Decays Daoist glanced back at the indifferent, downcast-eyed Chaos Daoist in the void, and then disappeared from the latter's perception.

The Taoist priest frowned slightly. He had intended to perform divination by counting on his fingers, but he vaguely sensed an indescribable demonic energy.

"Nine-Spirit Primordial Demon..."

The Taoist Hunyi suppressed his thoughts, took out a communication talisman, merged his divine will with it, and transmitted the scene of his conversation with the Taoist Wushuai.

Before long, the talisman trembled, and a hoarse, deep voice came:

"If the Nine-Spirit Primordial Demon can truly shake the Tower of Heavenly Sin, it would indeed be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for us. However, the extraterrestrial demons are not to be trusted, so it's better to remain still than to act rashly..."

The Taoist priest nodded and asked the other person:
"What do you think, Fellow Daoist Yuhua?"

“What Fellow Daoist Qunxing said is correct, but…”

An aged voice rang out at the opportune moment: "This opportunity is truly rare and must not be missed. What does it matter if those demons have their own schemes?"

"If you miss this opportunity, how will you know there will be another one?"

"This……"

Upon hearing what the Ascension Daoist said, the Starry Sky Daoist fell silent, and the Mixed Daoist remained speechless for a long time.

Ever since they mistakenly trusted the Dharma-transmitting Celestial Venerable a century ago, resulting in all the disciples of various sects being thrown into the Sin Realm, they have been extremely wary of all foreign cultivators.

But as the Taoist Master Yu Hua said, this opportunity is too rare.

The Three Saints, Five Emperors, and Twelve Golden Immortals were all forced out of the realm by the Daoist sect, and there were no other Heavenly Guardians to help them. This situation has never happened before in history.

"What Fellow Daoist Yuhua said is correct."

After a long silence, Daoist Qunxing spoke up: "No matter what these extraterrestrial demons are plotting, we cannot miss this opportunity... Perhaps we should contact other fellow Daoists."

"inappropriate."

The Taoist priest disagreed: "Apart from the three of us, everyone else is suspected of colluding with the Three Saints Sect. Whether they are friends or enemies is still unknown..."

The Ascension Daoist chuckled dismissively:
"This concerns the ownership of the Sin Realm. Whether we are enemies or friends, even the three of us, we will eventually have to fight each other. What do you two think?"

"Fellow Daoist Yuhua is thinking too far ahead."

The Star Daoist chuckled but did not refute. After a pause, he said, "Even without a Dao Lord to oversee the Sin Realm, how easy is it to seize it?"

"You two have grand ambitions, but I only wish to rescue the disciples within the Heavenly Sin Tower. I have no intention of vying with you for control of this Sin Realm..."

There was a long silence in the void.

"You two have gone too far afield; perhaps we should wait a moment..."

The Taoist priest spoke:
"If that extraterrestrial demon can truly shake the Tower of Heavenly Sin, then so be it. But if he can't, saying anything more now will only make us a laughingstock."

"good!"

……

Woo~
The void is deep and boundless.

The Taoist of Five Decays walked slowly through this place, and looking into the distance, he could faintly perceive a faint light.

The void where he was at this moment was between the present world and the void. The light he saw might be a strange place, or it might be someone's Dharma realm or Dharma heaven, but he could not tell the difference, nor could he invade from here.

However, traversing this place allows one to travel at extremely high speeds through numerous star systems, and even across the heavens.

"The Xuanhuang Great Realm truly lives up to its reputation as a top-tier dimensional realm. Although it is not as vast and boundless as my Heavenly Demon Realm, it far surpasses other dimensional realms..."

Stepping into this place and looking around, the Five Decays Daoist had an extremely strong interest in the old tree that created the Xuanhuang Great World.

"Unfortunately, I can't swallow it."

The moment the thought of regret surfaced, it was suppressed by the Five Decays Daoist. The old monster capable of creating a top-tier celestial realm was something that even his cheap master, the Nine-Spirit Yuan Demon, might not be able to swallow, let alone him.

Otherwise, this old tree would have been refined into a supreme treasure by the Three Sages of Xuanhuang long ago.

"Woo~"

After a long while, accompanied by a low tremor, the Five Decays Daoist arrived on a nine-story warship that existed in the void.

This is his natal spirit treasure, the Demon Cloud Flying Ship, which he forged using the flesh and blood of tens of millions of demons.

The large ship contained a hidden world, but the Five Decays Daoist simply sat quietly on the deck. He raised his hand and pulled out a dark demonic aura, calling upon the many demons and demonic cultivators he had been guiding to the Sin Realm.

……

At the Hunyi Sect's stronghold, Li Yuan, who was sensing the numerous demonic shadows, suddenly noticed a wisp of gray light appearing between the shadow demon's brows, carrying a chilling aura.

"This is... the Five Decays Daoist?"

Li Yuan's heart stirred, and he had already sensed the will of the Five Decays Daoist.

"Nine Hells of Heavenly Sin?"

In just a few breaths, Li Yuan had already digested the information from the Five Decays Daoist, and couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

The source of the Sin Realm is actually a tower that the Xuanhuang World Tree guided from the Chaos Sea?

"The Tower of Heavenly Sin... A Primordial Treasure!"

Li Yuan subconsciously looked out the window, but no matter how much he activated the weapon-controlling talisman, he could not find any trace of the giant tower.

"That old devil's intelligence network is quite impressive..."

After a long while, Li Yuan suppressed the distracting thoughts in his mind, and the wisp of gray light between his brows dissipated and disappeared into the Shadow Demon's body.

Unlike before he was completely unaware of the fifth realm, Li Yuan, now at the peak of the fifth realm, finally saw the trace of that gray light under his focused attention.

"Supernatural Qi mechanism".

Li Yuan felt a chill in his heart, but he decisively mobilized the many hidden demonic shadows within his body to try to encircle and suppress that wisp of gray energy.

"laugh!"

In the next instant, all the hundreds of demonic shadows were annihilated, unable to shake this wisp of divine power.

"The methods of a cultivator at the eighth realm..."

Li Yuan was not surprised, but he kept summoning the demonic shadows to pounce on them.

All that could be heard was a continuous hissing sound as countless demonic shadows shattered and vanished, but immediately even more demonic shadows surged out from the 'Shadow Demon Realm'.

After the Shadow Demon Body advances to the fifth realm, there is no need to refine Shadow Demons. As long as the Shadow Demon Realm does not perish, the Shadow Demons will be nearly endless.

"boom!"

Finally, with a loud bang, the scattered gray energy regrouped under the siege of the demonic shadows and was forcibly pushed into the Shadow Demon Realm, into that lake that gathered endless filth and evil spirits.

"Boom!"

It's like a stone falling into a deep well.

Li Yuan even felt that the Shadow Demon Realm, and even the Abyss Realm which is the other side of the Shadow Demon Realm, trembled, and that wisp of energy was incredibly heavy.

He focused his attention on the Shadow Demon Realm and saw that the lake, which spanned thousands of miles, had been almost overturned. The entire Shadow Demon Realm was rumbling and trembling, and the enormous Yuan Ying Pure Yang Tree was emitting mournful cries.

"So fierce?"

Li Yuan was shocked and decisively mobilized the Abyss Realm to help the Shadow Demon Realm suppress that wisp of gray energy.

"Woo~"

At the same time, the Yuanying Pure Yang Tree shook violently, and thousands of demonic shadows intertwined with each other, disappearing into the lake like dark clouds that blotted out the sun.

"Chichi~"

Under Li Yuandu's rather alarmed gaze, large swathes of demonic shadows vanished into the lake, while the Shadow Demon Lake expanded and swelled at an alarming rate.

When the tremors subsided, the Shadow Demon Lake had suddenly swelled by nearly seven times!
"Om~"

Li Yuan stared intently into the distance.

The wisp of gray energy trembled on its own, but like a deer trapped in a swamp, it could not extricate itself no matter how hard it struggled.

"It can't be corroded?"

Li Yuan was somewhat shocked.

This lake of shadowy demonic water has gathered countless yin and evil filth, which can corrupt even the most powerful spiritual treasures, but cannot erode this wisp of gray energy.

"No, it's not that it can't be eroded, but rather that the process is extremely slow..."

After observing for a long time, Li Yuan finally noticed that a tiny bit of the gray aura had dissipated.

At the same time, the inky black Shadow Demon Water was tinged with a barely perceptible layer of gray, emanating a chilling aura...
