In the heavens, people become emperors by being bad.

Chapter 514 [Suppressing the Holy Spirit by the Decree of the Daoist Master!]

"There are masters too!"

The evil gods were startled. They thought it was a case of the mantis stalking the cicada, but they never expected that there was a bird lurking behind. This part of the starry sky was too crucial, involving the immortal treasures left behind by the Daoist Master in the past, and now an invincible Great Sage had jumped out.

The newcomer wore a black and white Taoist robe, his hair was messy and held back with a wooden hairpin. He was unkempt and looked like a slovenly Taoist, but there was a chaotic aura emanating from his every move. His two great holy powers evolved into the Taiji Great Dao, and he was almost stepping out of his own path to enter the Quasi-Emperor realm.

"Who is coming!"

One of the evil gods asked in a deep voice, secretly on guard, and formed an alliance with the other three evil gods.

"Wudang, Zhang Sanfeng!"

The Mad Taoist laughed loudly, then stepped through the void with his Star Shattering Steps and charged into the battlefield. He held the Taiyin in one hand and the Taiyang in the other, and the two black and white fish swirled around, sweeping across the nine heavens and ten earths with an invincible aura.

The appearance of the Three Mad Saints not only frightened the alien races into retreating, but also left the human race dumbfounded. The saints in the tenth human race were discussing and trying to find out the origin of this supreme expert, but they had little success. It was as if this person had been unknown in the past, but had suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

Only Ye Fan understood the situation perfectly, and couldn't help but sigh, "The lineage of Qi cultivators from the pre-Qin period is truly full of talented people."

The Earth Taoist school is headed by Huang Lao, who are the two supreme beings, the Yellow Emperor and Lao Tzu, and then several major schools and branches have emerged from it.

Besides the Hidden Immortal Sect where Zhang Sanfeng was located, there was also Longhu Mountain of Zhang Daoling, and Taiping Dao of Zhang Jiao...

Upon realizing this, Ye Fan suddenly froze. He discovered that there were a great many Zhang family Taoist practitioners on Earth, who almost occupied the orthodox position. Was this a coincidence or just a coincidence?

The Pure Yang Patriarch Lü Dongbin once wrote a poem: "Eight hundred years have passed since I attained the Dao, yet I have never taken a head with my flying sword. The Jade Emperor has not yet bestowed any heavenly decree, so I merely sell black gold to circulate among the world."

"In the long history of Taoism, is there really a Jade Emperor with the surname Zhang? Among the thirty emperors throughout the ages, none have heard of his name."

"Jade Emperor, Jade Emperor, could it be a Great Perfection Holy Spirit?"

Ye Fan was puzzled, his gaze deep. If there really was such a person, there was no trace of him in the ancient times, the primordial era, or mythology. Could he be an ancient person from the chaotic era?

Or perhaps, the Jade Emperor was merely an ancient quasi-emperor, hence his obscure fame, which did not resonate throughout the vast universe and among all races, but only awe-inspired in a localized region of the primordial world.

Ye Fan pondered carefully, then casually unleashed a strike that severely injured a large number of Saints in the alien army. Like the Three Madmen Daoist, they were the two most dazzling war stars on the battlefield.

One person crushed the saints in battle, while the other single-handedly hunted down the four evil gods and single-handedly carried a part of the starry sky.

The Yin and Yang energies circulate, and nothing is immune to their power. The Tai Chi diagram is the best defensive weapon, and its might shakes the world.

The four evil gods felt aggrieved. What powerful beings were they? Invincible Great Saints. Any one of them, if released, could sweep across the star field and terrify all races.

It's unbelievable that I'm being beaten by someone.

He's not even a human emperor's son, so why is he so powerful!

"I understand now. This aura... he's cultivating both of the two great mother scriptures of the human race..."

One of the Holy Spirit Clan's Great Saints narrowed his eyes. He had seen two incomplete scriptures before and would never mistake the Sun Holy Power for the Moon Holy Power. He couldn't help but gasp. In this world, there really was someone who could do it.

Taiyin and Sun, whichever is weak is stronger, Yin and Yang work together, and the world becomes emperor.

These two ancient immortal scriptures represent two extremes, and were revered by ancient emperors. Once one cultivates them to the extreme, one will naturally become an emperor and be able to dominate all ages.

The powerful figures on the Holy Spirit's side gasped, their hearts pounding with fear. This legend had been around for a long time and was deeply ingrained in people's minds.

In the ancient times, it was the rule that each race should have one emperor. Only the human race broke the curse, producing two emperors and leaving behind a terrifying rumor that made all the races of the time tremble. Almost everyone believed that the human race would produce three emperors. Many powerful people were wary of this legend and had a very subtle attitude towards the human race. This allowed the human tribes in the ancient times to enjoy a period of peace after the death of the human emperor.

"Will it not be fulfilled in the Primordial Era, but rather after the Desolate Era, when a Human Emperor will emerge?" the Water-elemental Holy Spirit Great Sage said coldly, holding a trident, high above, like a god-king looking down upon the mortal world.

"Throughout history, there have been more than one great sage who practiced both Yin and Yang, and they all eventually went completely mad and died in meditation."

Seeing the panic among the soldiers, Ao Mang, the stone man of the Holy Spirit Clan, shouted loudly to calm them down, saying, "Without a quasi-emperor who cultivates Yin and Yang together, he cannot succeed; at most, he will only be a Great Saint."

"Let's all work together to suppress and kill him."

"Kill!" The old madman pressed forward, joining the other human great saints to block the holy spirit great saint, interrupt their alliance with the evil god, and prepare to defeat them one by one.

"Close the door and beat the dog, today is the day!" Great Sage Qinghuang shouted, ordering all the enforcers and protectors to rush forward. This is a battle of races, a matter of life and death. Forget about spirit and dignity, winning is everything.

With a thunderous roar, the Six Paths Reincarnation Fist reappeared. The old madman had perfected this fist technique to its extreme, making it no less powerful than when the Holy Body unleashed it. His bronze-colored body shimmered with divine radiance as he delivered an extremely domineering punch.

With invincible fist spirit, it swept away everything in its path, shattering the Holy Spirit Ao Mang into pieces!
"The Great Sage is invincible!"

"I have witnessed the rise of a quasi-emperor!"

The human faction cheered with joy, having destroyed a Holy Spirit Great Saint, symbolizing the tipping of the scales of victory on the battlefield and boosting morale.

"Human, I am your opponent."

The immortal flames surged and danced as the Fire Spirit Azure Flame Great Sage charged over, rescuing Ao Mang from the old madman. Then, he chanted ancient scriptures, his Daoist voice shaking the world, as if he had crossed time and space from ancient times.

This chanting possesses a strange and powerful force!

Ao Mang barely managed to regenerate and survive. He swallowed a divine pill and stood there swaying, extremely weak.

"The Heaven-Mending Scripture?"

"So that's how it is. The Holy Spirit in those seven wells has a great connection with you."

Cai Daoren walked over calmly. He was from the same generation as Qinghuang Dasheng back then, so he naturally knew the secrets inside the ancient well.

"If you want to fight, then fight!"

After a long silence, the old madman suddenly spoke, his eyes shining brightly as he stared at the Fire Spirit Great Sage. Unlike Ao Mang, who was a mediocre Great Sage, Cang Yan had the potential to become a Quasi-Emperor, making him an evenly matched opponent.

As the war drums sounded, the five secret realms shone brightly, sparkling and dazzling. Each secret realm contained a celestial cocoon, clearly visible through the light.

This is the quasi-emperor's path of the old madman; breaking free from the cocoon will mark the day of his enlightenment!
“I’ll hold off the Fire Spirit, you go and kill the Stone Embryo.”

Cai Daoren said in a deep voice, "In a game of chess, the top horse is against the top horse, the middle horse against the middle horse, and the bottom horse against the bottom horse. The outcome is unpredictable."

However, if the top horse is paired with the middle horse, and the middle horse with the bottom horse, then you've already won two rounds.

"can."

The old madman nodded without any pretense and turned to kill Ao Mang the Great Sage.

Upon seeing this, Ao Mang's expression changed drastically. He dared not linger on the starry battlefield and ran towards the four evil gods, shouting, "Fellow Daoists, save me!"

"You are seeking death!"

Seeing the situation gradually turn around, Huo Ling Cang Yan was filled with rage and roared, determined to kill the Cai family Taoist. Thousands of runes appeared on his flesh and blood arms, forging chains of divine order, like a phoenix born from fire, charging forward.

"Can't leave!"

The Taoist Cai narrowed his eyes, activated the "Soldier" secret technique, and made a clanging sound towards the Great Sage War Weapon in his hand, with wisps of imperial aura falling down, almost transforming it into a quasi-emperor weapon.

The Nine Secrets are profound, and the "Soldier" Secret not only allows one to control others' weapons but also strengthen one's own. While the Cai Family Taoist and the Fire Spirit Azure Flame are locked in a fierce battle, the situation on the other side is equally dire. The Three Mad Taoists were already under immense pressure, and now Ao Mang has brought in another old madman, making the four evil gods want to unleash a torrent of curses.

What kind of Stone-Born Holy Spirit is this? It's practically a stone brain! Isn't this just betraying our allies?

But for Ao Mang, allies were just for betraying, and none of them were as important as his own life. He shouted, "Fellow Daoists, you've all reached this level. Stop holding back and fight with all your might!"

The four evil gods exchanged a glance and couldn't help but sigh. They had originally intended to take advantage of the chaos, sit back and watch the tigers fight, and stall for as long as possible.

But no one expected Ao Mang to be so reckless, stirring up trouble for himself.

"You Taoist priest, get out of here at once!"

"Don't think we're really afraid of you."

A four-faced evil god rebuked, "If things come to a standstill, it will be bad for everyone."

"The fish may die, but the net may not break." The Three Madmen Taoist smiled calmly, joined hands with the Old Madman, and attacked from both sides, actually chasing after the five Great Sages.

This situation left the onlookers in awe. There were differences between the Great Sages; for some, the Great Sage was the pinnacle, while for others it was just the beginning. They were not comparable.

"You're asking for death! I'll grant your wish!"

One of the evil gods couldn't help but unleash its true power, its entire body turning a pale gold, exuding unparalleled majesty, and it summoned the imperial weapon of its race.

"boom!"

A Refining God Pot flew out, exuding immense majesty. In an instant, the Great Sage retreated, and all the gods trembled.

Imperial soldiers!

A supreme imperial weapon!
Only by wielding imperial weapons can one have some standing on the stage of the universe and be qualified to make a move.

"The Light God Clan, that Prince of Light visited Earth five thousand years ago, leaving behind endless legends. This is the imperial weapon of the Ancient Emperor of Light."

"God really exists!"

"What about the emperors in Eastern mythology?"

Does the Jade Emperor really exist?

Where are Fuxi and Nuwa now?

Ye Fan's heart trembled. All the saints around him submitted to the majesty of the imperial weapon and dared not step out of line. With the immortal artifact Green Cauldron protecting him, he could calmly examine the imperial weapon of the Light Clan.

The Soul Refining Pot is green in color, shiny and dazzling, radiating the might of an ancient emperor, making people shudder.

This is an ultimate weapon forged from celestial gold. It has layers of wing-like ripples on its surface, like a celestial being ascending to heaven, and possesses boundless power!
This imperial weapon did not go to the Northern War to fight for the path to immortality, but rather upheld the will of the Bright Emperor to protect his race.

Several Great Saints of the Holy Spirit Clan laughed wildly. With the Emperor's Weapon out, who could contend with it? Unless a Quasi-Emperor could truly emerge, the outcome was already decided.

"By the decree of the Daoist Master, suppress the Holy Spirit!"

Despite the majesty of the imperial weapon, besides Ye Fan, there was also the Three Mad Taoist who could still move.

He unleashed his immense imperial might, pulled a gleaming, golden Vajra Bracelet from his sleeve, and tossed it into the sky. A similarly powerful imperial might emanated from it; what was initially a small circle transformed into an endless chaotic sea, seemingly about to devour the Refining God Pot.

The two imperial weapons clashed, shattering the endless starry sky and turning it into a vacuum battlefield. For a moment, ghosts howled and wolves roared as the ultimate collision occurred, almost obliterating even the Great Dao!
Everyone gasped. An imperial weapon, yet another imperial weapon had been born. A true imperial war was about to begin.

"This imperial weapon looks familiar; I seem to have seen it in a page of ancient history."

A human sage murmured something, but couldn't recall it for a moment.

"It is the weapon of the Moral God."

Ye Fan, an all-knowing passerby, explained that this was a myth from his hometown, and no one knew it better than him.

The Moral Celestial Venerable, one of the nine Celestial Venerables in mythology, is also known as the Dao Venerable. The first scripture Ye Fan cultivated was the Dao Venerable's "Dao Scripture." This ancient Celestial Venerable had the merit of spreading the Dharma throughout the universe. Like the Taiyin Human Emperor and the Taiyang Holy Emperor, he preached the Dao in all realms and selflessly imparted his scriptures to all living beings.

However, people are selfish, and by the time the ancient era came to be, only a few fragments of the flawless Daoist scriptures remained.

"The Moral Celestial Venerable? It's him!"

The Great Sage Qinghuang suddenly looked up and exclaimed in surprise, "That Dao Venerable who suppressed the Holy Spirit in the Mythical Era and was refined in the ancient well!"

In the past, the Celestial Venerable of Morality suppressed the Great Perfection Holy Spirit. After countless ages, his Celestial Weapon also quelled the chaos.

It seems that cause and effect exist in the unseen world.

No wonder the Three Mad Taoists from Flying Immortal Star said they came on the orders of the Daoist Master; there must be a great connection between them.

The saints understood that the Three Mad Taoists had received the Daoist Venerable's inheritance and sensed that the seal left by the Daoist Venerable was about to break, so they came to suppress him.

No one believes that it was the Daoist Master who, having lived to this day, issued a decree that no one in the mortal realm could ascend to immortality and achieve eternal life, not even the mighty Heavenly Emperor, who too had to pass away.

But Ye Fan knew the inside story: most of the thirty emperors of the Eternal Azure Heaven had passed away, but a portion of them were still walking the path of immortality in the mortal world.

The Celestial Venerable of Morality is extraordinary. He has consumed the elixir of immortality, refined the Nine-Turn Pill, and attempted to communicate with the spirit of the Emperor's Corpse. Strictly speaking, this is his fourth incarnation.

"The Three Mad Taoists, the Vajra Bracelet, the Daoist Venerable..."

A hint of understanding flashed in Ye Fan's eyes. He finally knew where Lin Xian had gone. No wonder Yuan Tianshi's divine magic deductions had failed time and time again.

"Daoist Venerable! You suppressed my ancestors in the mythical era, and even after countless ages, you still refuse to give up?"

The Great Sage of Fire Spirit Azure Flame raised his head and roared, "My Holy Spirit lineage will fight you to the death!"

The other Holy Spirits were also gritted their teeth; the duck that was about to be in their grasp had flown away, and none of them were willing to accept it.

"What talk of a fight to the death? We're all going to die today!"

The Three Mad Daoists chanted the Great Dao Scriptures and said coldly, "In the past, the Daoist Master was able to refine the Great Perfection Holy Spirit. Today, we unfilial descendants will follow the example of our ancestor's great deeds and refine you Holy Spirits."

"Who's refining whom is still unknown!"

The powerful members of the Holy Spirit Clan and the Evil God Clan all gathered together, no longer fighting alone, and contributed a continuous stream of divine power to the Imperial Weapon, causing the Refining God Pot to almost fully recover and manifest a projection of the Emperor of Light.

On such a battlefield, even the Great Sage seems insignificant; only the victory or defeat of the Imperial Weapons can determine the fate of the world.

The Great Sage of the Human Race also gathered after the Three Mad Taoists, offered sacrifices to the Vajra Bracelet, chanted the name of the Dao Venerable, supported the revival of the Imperial Weapon, summoned a phantom of the Heavenly Venerable, and began an extreme attack.

The universe trembled, galaxies exploded, imperial weapons began to collide, and monstrous energy poured out, threatening to shatter the heavens.

Just when things were getting tense, the Taoist priest from the Cai family revealed a strange smile. He knew the secret of the military strategy!
