The mortal's candle dragon opens the sky

The Heavenly Court army quickly set off again, diagonally entering the territory of Zhou Yuan Immortal Domain. Due to the previous rage of Dao Ancestor Chi Rong, the number of immortal envoys of all ranks had dropped from 3,311 to a mere 2,000, and most of them were in very poor condition. Their creations within their own spiritual domains had been severely damaged by the Samadhi Burning Spirit Flame, making it impossible for them to form a second-class Ten Directions Myriad Immortals Formation. They could only settle for second best and form nine third-class Myriad Immortals Formations.

The atmosphere within the army was extremely strange and oppressive. Dao Ancestor Chi Rong, with a dark face, followed the aura of the audacious challenger without uttering a word, tearing through the void to clear a path at the forefront. Behind him, streaks of cloud-like energy and escape light surged, with Dao Ancestor Bai Yun leading the remaining immortal envoys in a rapid pursuit. Chen Ruyan's Water Spirit Domain was sandwiched between them, yet remained completely still.

For the final stretch to the Demon Realm, there was no Heavenly Gate to cross, so this was the only way to travel. In the past, Zhou Yuan Immortal Realm had tried to build a teleportation Heavenly Gate, but it was destroyed by the Demon Lord who cultivated the laws of space, so the Heavenly Court no longer wasted its resources.

Fortunately, the three Dao Ancestors were the ones who were leading the immortals on their journey. What would be an insurmountable vast territory for ordinary immortals in countless years was nothing to the Dao Ancestors. If they did not care about the erosion of the Heavenly Dao, the Dao Ancestors could even cover the Immortal Realm with a single thought.

Meanwhile, the immortal envoys in the army who had lost their loved ones in the Samadhi Burning Spirit Flame were all busy taking pills to heal their wounds. They didn't show any resentment, and they didn't even dare to glance in the direction of the old woman in red. As for what they were really thinking, only heaven knows.

The true dragons led by Chen Ruyan remained silent in the Water Spirit Realm. Even when faced with the provocation of Fairy Chi Meng using the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover, they did not show themselves. This unusual scene was completely contrary to the rumored straightforward nature of the Water Ancestor, who was known for his clear-cut love and hate. While the group of Great Luo Dao Ancestors breathed a sigh of relief, they also felt very surprised and uncomfortable.

"Strange! The Water Ancestor actually held back!"

"Hmph! Isn't this better? Do you want to get involved in the great war between the Origin Dao Ancestors?"

"Silence! Do not presumptuously criticize the Dao Ancestor. Clouds are the form of Dao Qi, their gathering and dispersing in accordance with the will of Heaven! Lord Baiyun's 'Seven Tablets of the Cloud Book' is one of the top three supernatural powers of perception in the world!"

The nine Grand Luo Immortals who were just there to make up the numbers had strange expressions and kept exchanging glances in secret. It wasn't until one of them, who was affiliated with the White Cloud Dao Ancestor, shouted a stern rebuke that everyone calmed down and could only attribute Chen Ruyan's abnormal behavior to the Heavenly Court's prosperity and the Supreme Emperor's majesty, which was why the Water Ancestor dared not turn against her during the march.

Even at this point, they still had no doubts about whether they could successfully suppress the Demon Realm.

The peak of the Space Dao has fallen, and the motley crew of the Demon Realm has lost its leader. What can they use to resist the three Dao Ancestors and ten Great Luos? Even if two of the three powerful figures have mutual grudges and have to reserve some strength to guard against each other, they will still be no match for the Demon Realm, which is fighting on its own.

"Lord Dao! The Heavenly Court army has inexplicably lost nearly half its strength and has continued its advance towards the Demon Realm. At their current pace, even if they encounter some obstacles along the way, they will arrive here in no more than three quarters of an hour. Furnace, Water Abyss, and Cloud Seal! Three Dao Ancestors in total. Should we fight or retreat?"

Having successfully stabilized his Transcendent Realm cultivation, Yan Shuzi's ability to detect inner demons was more than ten times greater than before. At this moment, he solemnly issued a real-time report.

"Three quarters of an hour? That's six hundred and twenty days from now? After my advancement, I can maintain a twenty-thousand-fold acceleration of time within the Spirit Realm! Hehe, of course it's war! In six hundred days, I'll test the divine power of the Origin Dao Ancestor! If I run away before even meeting him, I'll lose face!" Xu Yang replied calmly, his eyes slightly closed.

He connected with the Mother Qi Cave Heaven through his mind and body, linking with the three great corpses of Shi Kongyu who were suppressed by the Chaos Mother Qi. The enormous primordial power, with the jade pendant in the Niwan Palace as the hub, surged dozens of times every moment. The eight laws within his body neutralized each other, and a series of subtle changes occurred in a chain, causing his cultivation to increase rapidly!
The Nine Palaces Big Dipper Law Dao Patterns within the body, which were not yet fully transformed, began to rapidly transform into the Purple Star Origin Dao Patterns. However, the Space Law was only given the name of Supreme because of its special nature. Using the Space Origin to transform the Purple Star Origin was very inefficient.

"Mending the Heavens and Controlling the Dao! Rule the heavens and aid me!"

Xu Yang still wasn't satisfied. With a loud shout, he pointed and flicked his finger, and a dark green light shot out, flashing to the center of the Time Spirit Realm. Then, Xu Yang mobilized all the remaining power of the Time Origin within his body and poured it all into it without any mercy.

As Xu Yang exerted his power, the small green bottle in the light swelled up into a giant dark green bottle tens of thousands of feet tall amidst a buzzing sound. The dark green inscriptions on the bottle began to flash rapidly, and it began to shake and tremble wildly from side to side, as if the bottomless sea of ​​origin hidden inside the bottle had been awakened and was churning restlessly!
When the green light of the Heavenly Bottle reached its peak, a jet of dark green divine light, ten thousand feet thick, shot out from the bottle's mouth and struck the top of the Time Spirit Realm. All the laws in the vicinity retreated, and the dark green light silently tore through the void, disappearing into an unknown destination!
A few breaths later, a strange, golden ring-shaped portal slowly condensed in the place where the dark green pillar of light had disappeared!

The next moment, the Time Spirit Realm, the Chaos World within the Palm Heaven Bottle, and the Origin Gathering Place of the Immortal Realm were connected!

A glimmer of green light appeared behind the strange circular portal, followed by a massive outpouring of emerald liquid!
The moment the liquid manifested and flowed out, a magnificent golden rainbow bridge appeared in the sky above the circular portal!
The golden bridge, the gate, and the emerald fountain, together, exuded a vast and ancient aura of law that surged outwards, encompassing all laws!

Under the immense pressure, the onlooker Yan Shuzi felt his heart pounding and instinctively teleported to the other side of the Spirit Realm.

"Haha! Bottle Spirit, you died a good death!" The Xuanwu Dao Lord outside the Spirit Realm laughed heartily.

Although Xu Yang had expected it, he was still overjoyed to see the portal actually manifest. He suppressed his excitement and twisted his head into a dragon's head with four glass tentacles. He stretched it directly under the strange circular portal and caught all the flowing emerald liquid!

He gulped it down with great pleasure! The purest source of the laws began to fill the last gaps in the eight laws within Xu Yang's body. Not only that, the remaining untransformed Nine Palaces Big Dipper laws began to rapidly transform into Purple Star Dao Patterns!

Even the newly refined Dao patterns of the law of causality are beginning to grow stronger like balloons, completing their own law puzzle. The birth of the true Dao patterns of cause and effect is not far off!

The Heavenly Bottle continued to tremble, and every few breaths, beams of dark green divine light, tens of thousands of feet thick, shot from the bottle's mouth into the circular portal, continuously drawing out the emerald fountain!

The aura of the rising sun was expanding rapidly at a heart-stopping speed, while the dark green inscription on the Heavenly Bottle was gradually dimming, one rising and the other falling!

If you look closely, you will find that the part of the Palm Heaven Bottle that decreases in aura is exactly half of the part of the Sun Rising aura that increases. This shows that at least half of the source of the Emerald Fountain is the origin within the Palm Heaven Bottle, while the other half comes from the source of the Immortal Realm and the catalyst emitted by the Sun Rising!
The Nightmare Pivot Child was already speechless with shock, while the Xuanwu Dao Master, his eyes red with excitement, watched this scene, muttering to himself:

"This is the 'Heaven-Mending and Dao-Controlling' great divine power, which has not appeared in the True Immortal Realm for billions of years. It has once again seen the light of day! This is a grand occasion that only occurred during the most prosperous period of the Taiyi Ancestral Court! The Bodhi Immortal Banquet is not even worthy of carrying the shoes of the Heaven-Mending and Dao-Controlling Assembly!"

As a superior innate immortal artifact and a flawed chaotic artifact, the Palm Heaven Bottle has three great supernatural powers. The first is to manipulate creation, which is an unparalleled supernatural power that overturns the laws of a world, nurtures all things, recreates the earth, wind, water, and fire, and reopens a chaotic world. This supernatural power cannot be truly unleashed unless it is activated by a Dao Ancestor who has merged with the chaos.
Even if countless Dao Ancestors combined their efforts, it would only give rise to a cataclysmic calamity. It can be released but cannot be perfectly controlled. Doing so is no different from self-destruction and will only elevate the Heavenly Bottle itself.

As for the Three Thousand Dao Divine Array, whether ancient or modern, it bypasses the Palm Heaven Bottle and uses the Time Dao Ancestor himself as the center to imitate this divine power. At this time, it is unknown how far the preparations have progressed!

As for the other two divine abilities, Returning to Heaven and Reversing the Sun and Mending the Heavens and Controlling the Dao, since the birth of the bottle spirit, it has secretly controlled the Heavenly Bottle as a weapon spirit. As for Mending the Heavens and Controlling the Dao, it goes without saying that this divine ability would damage the original source of the Heavenly Bottle. In order to be reborn, the bottle spirit would only think that the original source of the Xuanbao is too little, not too much. How could it possibly harm itself for the benefit of others?

Only when a Great Luo Dao Ancestor who cultivates the Law of Time sacrifices himself and pours all his own Time Origin into the Palm Heaven Bottle will the Bottle Spirit agree to split the spoils 50/50: half of the Origin is stored in the Palm Heaven Bottle, and the other half is used to open a spacetime travel channel to send the martyr to other spacestimes.

If the bottle spirit were present, it would definitely try its best to prevent the use of the Heaven-Mending and Imperial Dao divine power, which damages the essence of the Heaven-Piercing Bottle, because this divine power is consuming the Heaven-Piercing Bottle's foundation every moment!
But now the bottle spirit has been destroyed by Xuyang. What Xuyang wants is to command things, not to be commanded by things. He seeks to control tools with people, not to control tools with people.

Xu Yang would rather destroy the Heavenly Bottle and empty it than try to take advantage of the True Immortal Realm like Gu Huojin did.

Using the entire True Immortal Realm as nourishment to propel oneself to the Chaos Venerable Position—even if one succeeds, what's the point? All friends and family will be gone!
To establish oneself as a vessel for the benefit of the world is the greatest virtue of a sage. This is the kind of vision and magnanimity that a being aspiring to be the ancestor of the Chaos should possess!
The mere Heavenly Bottle is no loss! Hmm. I've overblown the charade. The main reason is that Xu Yang isn't worried about running out of Chaos Artifacts in the future; he still has the Mother Qi Cave Heaven!
Hey!

In fact, the great battle between the Nine Yuan Temple and the Samsara Palace millions of years ago was largely due to their ability to unleash this divine power. It was because they separated the bottle and the spirit that Xu Yang was able to take advantage of the situation and kill the bottle spirit outside the Palm Heaven Bottle. Otherwise, even the Supreme Dao Ancestor would not have been able to do anything to the bottle spirit hiding deep inside the Palm Heaven Bottle. If it were that simple, the supreme beings of the Heavenly Court throughout the ages would have done it long ago!
"The true dragon is magnanimous, so I'll acknowledge your merit! Considering your scheme to deliver the Heavenly Bottle to Little Southern Continent, 'Reincarnation Han Li,' I'll spare your life. In the future, who wins and who loses between you and Han Erlengzi, and who gets your wife and daughters, will depend on your own fate!"

A wicked thought inexplicably flashed through Xu Yang's mind, and he thus entered a deep, short period of seclusion.

Boom~!!
Time flies like an arrow; what is three quarters of an hour outside is six hundred days and months have passed in the Spirit Realm!
Without needing Yan Shuzi's reminder, Xu Yang awoke with a start to a deafening roar. He glanced calmly at the sky and saw a crimson sun rapidly descending from the heavens above the Demon Realm.

At this moment, the sky above the Demon Realm was no longer shrouded in any of the ominous black clouds that used to hang there all year round. Instead, it was filled with rolling and spreading crimson light, like boiling oil being poured down, making the entire Demon Realm sizzle and crackle!

In the dim light, it seemed as if one could hear the wails of countless demonic creatures in every ray of rosy light!
With a wave of his hand, Xu Yang retracted the Time Domain, and stood side by side with Yan Shuzi and Xuanwu Daozhu, quietly waiting for the true arrival of that crimson sun.

Xu Yang also took the Heavenly Bottle into his hand. This treasure truly lived up to its reputation as the number one treasure in the True Immortal Realm. Even after such a long period of being whittled down, its aura still retained 80% of its original strength, unlike those eighth or ninth-grade Xuan treasures in the lower realm, which would shatter with the slightest bit of whipping!

Xu Yang has formed the Jade True Dharma Body of the Great Luo Three Realms. From now until the final Dao Integration, there is no distinction between upper, middle and lower realms in the entire Tongxuan Realm. The only difference is the amount of accumulated Law Origin.

Xu Yang does not cultivate the Three Corpses Path, so he does not need to sever his corpse to eliminate obsessions, distractions, and desires, purify his mind, and be free from calamities.

Just now, when his primordial spirit resided in the highest realm of Yuqing in the Nine Heavens, Xu Yang's realm had already reached the Great Luo realm. His primordial spirit was at the purest and noblest level. In the scriptures of the Buddhist sect Zhenyan, this is called 'Supreme Perfect Enlightenment', which is the ultimate goal pursued by trillions of cultivators!
"It's a pity there wasn't enough time, otherwise I would have been able to complete the Seven Mansions of the Azure Dragon, and after God and Law, my physical body would have merged with the Heavenly Dao. However, my current strength is still quite usable!"

Xu Yang felt no fear whatsoever. He squinted as he watched the crimson sun rapidly approach, his excitement slightly trembling as he prepared to clash with a giant from the immortal realm.

The entire Demon Realm trembled and shook. Wherever the crimson sun passed, it was like a fire whip striking solidified lard, leaving an enormous, unhealable wound on the Demon Realm's territory. Even at its narrowest point, the wound was billions of miles wide, and space was burned into nothingness. There was no sign of it healing. The fate of the demonic beasts that had blocked its way was self-evident.

Regardless of who wins or loses this battle, the Demon Realm will inevitably gain another 'Burning Sky Rift Valley' running from north to south, at least dividing it into the Eastern Demon Realm and the Western Demon Realm.

Ahead of the crimson sun was a dark black streak of light fleeing for its life, rapidly traversing the Nine Heavens Gale Layer. It was none other than the hook-nosed demon clan Grand Luo whom Xu Yang had met twice before. At this moment, he was in a sorry state, his body charred black and devoid of hair and beard.

He glanced back in terror every now and then, fearing that the great sun would suddenly accelerate and crush him into ashes. In this life-or-death situation, he no longer cared about the dangers of the Heavenly Dao's erosion. At this moment, he was desperately drawing upon the power of the Heavenly Dao to strengthen himself, and for a time he barely managed to maintain a safe distance from the crimson sun behind him.

Suddenly, ahead of the hook-nosed Great Luo's inevitable path, a beam of light with considerable power rose from a colossal city spanning billions of miles. It opened its mouth in alarm and asked, "Fellow Daoist Saint Wheel! What has happened in the realm? Where are the other two fellow Daoists who guard the border with you?"

With a deep sense of fear, the hook-nosed Great Luo roared hoarsely, "It's that old hag Chi Rong who led the Heavenly Court army to attack! She wiped out Fellow Daoists Huan Yu and Ming Sha in the blink of an eye! Enough nonsense, quickly activate the teleportation array in the city leading to Night Sun Holy City! Hurry! Hurry! Hurry!"

"what?"

Upon hearing this, the Demon Clan Grand Luo felt a chill run down his spine and froze, thinking to himself, "What kind of karma have we created? The Holy Race beings had just personally experienced a battle at the Dao Ancestor level the day before yesterday. Fortunately, it ended quickly. According to statistics, less than 10% of them were killed by the aftershocks of the battle. They haven't even recovered yet, and today even the Origin Dao Ancestor has come!"

Judging by this, it seems they're going to burn the Demon Realm to the ground!?

After this battle, how many fragments will be left of the Demon Realm? (End of Chapter)
