The mortal's candle dragon opens the sky

As Xu Yang's divine power surged to its zenith, drawing upon the power of the celestial sphere, Shi Kongyu's Sumeru Sky-Splitting Slash also vanished in an incredible trajectory before suddenly reappearing not far from Xu Yang. It was as if the concept of the hundreds of thousands of miles of 'spatial distance' between him and Xu Yang had been erased or ignored by Shi Kongyu's spatial laws. Thousands upon thousands of silver waves were compressed and condensed into a shimmering silver line, which erupted in front of Xu Yang!
In ancient times, both the Demon Realm and the Celestial Realm belonged to the Great Northern Dipper Celestial Realm, which was closest to the celestial constellations. They were most likely to sense the power of the stars. Now, with Xu Yang fully connected, his more than five hundred acupoints were array eyes, and his million-mile-long, rugged dragon body was covered with a layer of starlight barrier that looked like glass! This was the truly perfected Ziwei Star Tribulation Light under the rule of the Ziwei Law!

The next moment, the dragon's body swayed, and a brilliant afterimage flashed past, seemingly slow but actually fast, crashing into the glittering silver line!
boom!
Countless beings across half of the Demon Realm witnessed the magnificent Milky Way, dazzling to the extreme, appearing in the heavens, flowing slowly and then crashing down. But then, a suppressed, muffled thunderous roar rolled across the boundless Demon Realm in an instant, causing all the cultivators to tremble violently. Many beings began to scream in fear uncontrollably.

In the next instant, they witnessed a pillar of light rising from the sky, and for the first time in the memories of countless beings, the dark sky of the Demon Realm was completely illuminated!
"Ah! The battle between the Dao Ancestors!"

"Wasn't it said that the Bodhi Immortal Banquet was about to begin, and that both sides should cease hostilities?"

In that instant alone, countless beings with weak cultivation were blinded and then knocked unconscious! Countless high-ranking demons, long dormant, were awakened, trembling with fear as they gazed at the back of the aurora.

However, a dozen or so Great Luo cultivators whose caves were nearby, out of duty to defend their territory, hesitated for only a few breaths before having no choice but to bite the bullet and rush toward the source of the aurora's eruption!

Half of the Demon Realm was shaking violently, and the surrounding mountains began to crumble and collapse! The landmass cracked and caved in! Rivers overflowed, and lakes rose into the sky! It was an apocalyptic scene!
Meanwhile, a million miles away from where the violent shockwave rose, the Xuanwu Dao Lord and the Samsara Palace Lord, the Nine Nether Emperor, were engulfed by the blinding aurora. The two squinted, their bodies swaying slightly, and were silently confronting each other!
Now that Shi Kongyu had started the war, the Lord of Samsara Palace had no choice but to abandon his illusions and go all out. With a hand seal, the huge golden-red wheel behind him began to spin rapidly, and different Dao patterns began to condense and manifest in the six areas.

Like Shi Kongjie before him, he was a Supreme Law cultivator who switched to another Law. Therefore, even after switching, he could rely on the legacy of his first life to make his Six Paths Reincarnation Disc have a certain time flow variation. At the same time, with the activation of his perfected Divine Refining Technique, in the blink of an eye, the Lord of the Reincarnation Palace murmured: "Six Paths Reincarnation! Three Lives Godslaying!"

Dark red light and serene divine light erupted from the eyes of the Lord of Samsara Palace, and terrifying divine power began to brew!
Not far away, the purple-robed Taoist also shouted, and a dark and eerie river inexplicably appeared around his majestic Dharma image. Countless ferocious water ghosts floated in it, each with bloodshot eyes, and together with the gushing Nine Nether River, they spread forward.

However, the Xuanwu Dao Lord opposite them had been watching their every move. According to his and Xuyang's earlier discussion, the Xuanwu Dao Lord only needed to restrain the two of them. He wasn't that arrogant as to fight two peak Da Luo to the death. At this moment, he chuckled and released almost all of his law power and divine sense, ignoring the incoming Nine Nether River. The snake head coiled around the tortoise's body suddenly let out a terrifying hiss:

"The world is shifting!"

The next moment, the Heavenly Gate above the Xuanwu Dao Master's head became twisted and unstable due to his reckless extraction!

A terrifying black and white sphere, nearly ten thousand feet in size, appeared before the Xuanwu, a creature embodying both tortoise and snake, and exploded the instant it appeared! The boundless demon realm was illuminated once more! Engulfing the River of Nine Netherworlds and the Lord of the Samsara Palace behind it!
The heavens and earth began to churn, and under the terrifying fluctuations, the entire territory spanning hundreds of millions of miles was cut off and violently shrank inward countless times, completely bitten by the towering serpent head in the sky, which then violently flung it away!
The Demon Realm darkened once more, and the void exploded inch by inch! In an instant, a cosmic passage connecting heaven and earth descended upon the Northern Zhou Immortal Realm, which was an unknown distance from the Demon Realm!

"You want to exterminate the Stonefish!?"

The expressions of the Lord of Samsara Palace and the Emperor of the Nine Netherworlds, who were frozen in the Qiankun World, changed drastically at the same time, their eyes wide with fury. However, the Qiankun Great Shift had already been activated, and they could only watch helplessly as the surrounding scenery spun and twisted rapidly through the Qiankun Boundary Membrane, which had been compressed to the extreme. At this point, it was too late to say anything!

The Xuanwu Dao Lord unleashed all his power, not for the sake of fighting, but simply to temporarily banish the two of them, ensuring they would be unable to return for at least several hours!

The Xuanwu Dao Master, standing in place, trembled violently and gasped for breath. Although he had temporarily lost his peak combat power, his eyes were exceptionally bright. He looked at the raging spatial storm not far away, then glanced at the two Heavenly Dao Gates that were dissipating due to the exile of the Reincarnation Palace Master and the other, and murmured to himself with some excitement:
"Fight? I'd have to be crazy to take on two at once! We need to concentrate our forces and wipe out one!"

A moment later, the Xuanwu Dao Master caught his breath and immediately used Weak Water Heavenly Marsh again to wrap up the two Heavenly Dao Gates that were about to dissipate. He also extended the Marsh to a more distant direction, creating the illusion that he was fighting two against one against the two Palace Masters in a tug-of-war over the Spirit Realm. He wanted to keep the illusion going for as long as possible!
As for helping Xu Yang in the past, he can't do it now. At this moment, even a cultivator who has just entered the Great Luo realm could deal with him. The next moment, his body twisted slightly and returned to human form amidst the rumbling sound of water. He took out nearly ten spoonfuls of Xuanzhen Essence and extravagantly made himself a large cup!

As for the concern that Xu Yang might be no match for him? The Xuanwu Dao Master was certain that this was not the case. Xu Yang had already informed him of his current situation. With a second-grade Xuanbao that was extremely good at defense, plus the seven fundamental laws, not to mention annihilating him, even if another Shi Kongyu came, he would not be able to defeat him!

"Haha! Shi Kongyu! Have you forgotten that I also cultivate the laws of space? You're underestimating me by using the Sky-Splitting Slash against me!"

On the other side, Xu Yang burst out from the shattered spatial storm, his dragon head swaying, his whiskers fluttering, and he hummed human words. His winding dragon body was once again covered with a layer of silvery crystal light, and wisps of silver flames flickered, clearly illuminating the intact dragon scales deeper inside.

At this moment, from the perspective of the Chaos Mother Qi, Xu Yang sensed that outside the spatial storm, the overwhelming power of the laws of heaven and earth was engulfing the Lord of Samsara and the other person, and was rapidly moving away, instantly leaving the range of his perception. Xu Yang revealed a barely perceptible malicious smile.

"You've actually grown to this level! Then you're even less likely to live! It's all your fault for protecting that person!"

Shi Kongyu's pupils shrank. When his puppet clone entered the Accumulated Scale Void Realm before, Xu Yang was only at the peak of Taiyi and needed to rely on a Xuanbao to defeat his puppet. Now, when they met again, he had silently advanced to the Great Luo Realm and mastered the power of the Heavenly Dao. He had transformed from a pawn into a flag bearer!

"Is the Heavenly Bottle really that magical?" Thinking of this, Shi Kongyu, who was unaware that his ally had been banished to countless immortal realms, had his eyes burning with desire. At this moment, Shi Kongyu's reason for Shi Kongjie was perhaps just an excuse. After weighing the pros and cons, Shi Kongyu decided that even if it meant risking being corrupted by the Heavenly Dao, he would try to seize this treasure!

As soon as Shi Kongyu had a thought, more silver light began to manifest and descend from the spatial gate above his head. The next moment, he swung all twelve arms at once, going all out. In an instant, thousands of silver light spheres shot out from his hands and, with the support of the immense power of the thousand apertures, bombarded the direction of the rising sun!
Countless silver orbs expanded violently after being released from his hand, like countless silver suns falling simultaneously!
"Hahaha! Anyway, this is the Demon Realm. You can fight me however you want. It's your Demon Realm that will be destroyed!"

Xu Yang showed no fear, his dragon eyes revealing a mocking look. He swung his limbs, and golden Four Seasons True Fire began to emerge from his fingernails, which shone with a cold light. He walked leisurely in the chaotic spatial storm, and the silver and golden flames spread outward as they surged.

The next moment, the area around Xuyang transformed into a spatial-temporal domain. The turbulent spatial currents that had been flowing around it were frozen in place, space solidified and time stood still. Not only were the incoming silver suns imprisoned in the void, but they also began to compete with the Stone Sky Fish for control of this space.

"True power of spacetime!" Shi Kongyu's eyes bulged, jealousy like a dark current, quietly beginning to devour his reason. The entire world began to tremble, and more power of the Heavenly Dao was summoned down by Shi Kongyu, like a torrent, destroying a part of the spacetime domain!

Shi Kongyu was not afraid of the erosion of the Heavenly Dao, and Xu Yang, whose divine soul was always at its peak, was naturally not afraid either. A purple flame of Yuan Yu illuminated his flesh and soul, and the starry sky began to descend again, but it was immediately blasted apart in an instant.

The two sides began a tug-of-war over the Spirit Realm!

Xu Yang was clearly at a disadvantage, but he calmly transformed into human form, no longer intending to fight head-on. The next moment, he took out the Hunyuan Five Qi Wheel, which had just recovered to its peak, and set up an exceptionally condensed Five Elements Crystal Wall around his body.

Just before the Five Elements Crystal Wall was laid down, a crystallized divine thought wrapped in a dark red Three Lives Nirvana True Fire quietly disappeared into the void to notify Tiankui and Yanshuzi, who were in the Accumulated Scale Void Realm!

For Xu Yang, who has mastered the Law of Reincarnation but has not yet advanced to the Great Luo realm, it would be an understatement to say that the Accumulated Scale Void Realm is completely undefended. It is like a nest that welcomes him back at any time, without the restriction that he must hold the Accumulated Scale Key! If he advances to the Great Luo realm and his Great Dao Law is raised to the level of 'Law Fusion with Heavenly Dao', he will be like the Lord of the Reincarnation Palace, and he will have to divide his primordial spirit and enter a puppet or a body at the Taiyi level in order to enter.

No one can compare to Mei Yao, who is Rahu, and Tian Kui, who refined the remains of the Silk Spider Mother into a natal immortal artifact. Both of them are beings who can enter the Accumulated Scale Void Realm in their true form after reaching the Great Luo level. They can even advance to the Great Luo level or even the Dao Ancestor level inside without being restricted by the rules inside. This is because the Silk Spider Mother herself was born in the Accumulated Scale Void Realm and is the purest follower of Rahu Ancestor. As for Rahu, it goes without saying.

While waiting for the Heavenly Puppet to appear, Xu Yang did not care about the gains or losses in the direct struggle for the Spirit Realm. When the power of the Heavenly Dao was blasted apart, he kept summoning it again and again, which was transformed into more spacetime power in an instant and added to the Spirit Realm. He fought again and again despite repeated defeats, and he enjoyed it very much!

He then took the opportunity to deploy the power of the spacetime spiritual domain, which had been directly blasted apart by the Sumeru Sky-Splitting Slashes, on the outer perimeter.

Within just a few breaths, a strange situation had formed on the battlefield.

Protected by the Five Elements Crystal Wall, the rising sun in the center was constantly being knocked back by the twelve-armed silver giant, retreating step by step. Meanwhile, the space on the outer edge was being frozen inch by inch, completely solidified! Even the flow of time within it was being distorted without anyone noticing!
About a hundred breaths have passed outside, while only one breath has passed here!
A huge eggshell-like space, loose on the inside and tight on the outside, has been fully formed!
Only now did Shi Kongyu feel a sense of danger and suddenly squint his eyes to look outside!
Just then, after layers of spacetime rifts, a dark red and silver spatial vortex appeared, from which a twelve-armed, dark green, towering giant, who looked remarkably similar to him, broke free!

His eyes were cold and filled with murderous intent as he looked into the distance. In front of him hung four slightly smaller but huge puppets, each with hundreds of mysterious apertures shining on its body!
Due to the difference in time flow between the inside and outside of the Spirit Realm, which is more than a hundred times, the twelve-armed dark green giant and his puppets were as if they had been put on fast-forward. In the blink of an eye, they were already close behind the layers of spacetime rifts. The four puppets stood in four directions and had already surrounded them.

In front of the dark green giant, the frozen spacetime gradually dissipated, and then froze again after the giant entered, without revealing any flaws or gaps!
In the blink of an eye, under Xu Yang's exquisite control, the Heavenly Puppet had already appeared within the Spirit Realm!

"Shi Kongjie! So many corpse puppets!" Shi Kongyu was shocked. If he still didn't understand that the other party's rejection of the alliance was aimed at him, then all his millions of years of cultivation would have been for nothing!

"Second Brother Kongyu! We meet again! Winning first doesn't count as winning! Only the victor can leave this place alive today!" Tiankui took a deep breath and said this in a tone that was neither sad nor happy.

Shi Kongyu looked gloomy and pursed his lips without answering. He turned to look outside, but apart from the surging Weak Water Heavenly Marsh, he couldn't see a single Heavenly Dao Gate!

Shi Kongyu's face turned ashen. He turned around abruptly and said to Tiankui with a sinister tone, "Do you know what you're doing? A great upheaval is imminent in the True Immortal Realm! Can you bear the consequences of my demise? Do you think you can stand aside from the Heavenly Court's attack?"

"You don't need to worry about that! After you die, the pressure on Heaven will naturally fall on us!"

Before Tiankui could speak, Xuyang within the Five Elements Crystal Wall chuckled. A ball of distinct black and white Yin-Yang divine light began to rapidly condense in his hand. He had been designing and strategizing, and hadn't yet unleashed his full power. The real battle had only just begun! (End of Chapter)
