Man in the wilderness, Shui Yuan becomes a saint

Chapter 242 The North Sea affair is over, the Demon King is slain.

Who could have imagined that Qi Yu held such a powerful trump card? The Returning to Origin Diagram's attack not only suppressed the Cangyuan Demon God, but also shattered the remnant world that was like a primordial plague in an instant!

For a moment, everyone was shocked and speechless, staring at the azure light that collided head-on with the power of heavenly punishment, unable to utter a word.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Qi Yu was undoubtedly shocked as he watched the Myriad Rivers Returning to Origin Diagram rise into the sky on its own, and he even had a faint premonition that the situation was getting out of control.

Is someone as powerful as "Yu Jiang" truly just a historical projection of the past? Does the Dao-Merging Return to Nothingness possess such immense power? Could it even allow a "loser" to reach the pinnacle of Hunyuan after countless ages and kill a true saint?

Qi Yu was unaware that such a thing was beyond his comprehension. He had no other choice but to watch as the divine thought of "Yu Jiang" in the Wan Chuan Gui Yuan Diagram fought against the Heavenly Dao, annihilating endless calamity light. Under the pressure of the Heavenly Dao, it completely crushed the body of the Cang Yuan Demon God, broke through the core of the remnant world, and left behind only a "world corpse" that was "dead" completely.

And so, after an unknown amount of time, the lightning finally dissipated. "Yu Jiang's" power was exhausted, and his divine sense vanished into the void, leaving only the Wan Chuan Gui Yuan Diagram, its radiant light breaking through the dark clouds that had lingered for days, allowing the sun to shine once again over the North Sea.

Qi Yu was speechless for a moment, and finally withdrew the Myriad Rivers Returning to Origin Diagram.

next moment--

"May the Black Emperor be victorious! May the Heavenly Court be victorious!"

A deafening roar echoed across the North Sea, as countless heavenly soldiers and generals cheered and rejoiced. The enormous sound waves swept across the North Sea and soared to the Thirty-Three Heavens! In an instant, the entire sky above the North Sea transformed into an ocean of joy.

An unprecedented victory, at this moment, completely propelled Qi Yu, the Black Emperor, to the highest peak of the Heavenly Court!

……

Qi Yu said nothing about this. After putting away the Myriad Rivers Returning to Origin Diagram, he simply took a step and disappeared into the Myriad Immortals Formation.

Now that the great calamity has ended, the Three Pure Ones naturally no longer need to exert themselves to maintain the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation standing in the Primordial Chaos Domain. Wang Shu and Qian Yang, who were in charge of the formation, also returned shortly afterward, standing alongside Qi Yu, the Three Pure Ones, and others. However, none of them were looking at Qi Yu with an incredulous gaze, not even Wang Shu.

It has to be said that even someone as strong as Qi Yu felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by so many people. Just as he was about to say something, Qian Yang spoke up first, breaking the awkward silence for Qi Yu.

"Fellow Daoist Yujiang, when did you acquire such skills? Could it be that you are truly about to attain the Primordial Dao?"

Qianyang and Qiyu met during the reign of Emperor Taiko. However, Qianyang had never truly experienced the Taiyi era when Qiyu stirred up the storm, so he naturally preferred to address her by the old name.

Qi Yu didn't say much about it, but just smiled.

"Today's methods are merely a matter of chance and good fortune, related to the cataclysmic events of that day, and not because I have truly attained the Primordial Chaos Realm."

"However, to be honest, I am quite confident about proving myself. After this matter of returning to the Void is completed, I believe that I will truly merge with the Dao within three thousand years. If Fellow Daoist Qianyang is interested, you may come and witness the ceremony and see me demonstrate the mysteries of Hunyuan."

Qi Yu's confident words immediately changed everyone's expression.

Qianyang was filled with surprise and envy. Back then, he had been a powerful sun god, barely on par with Yujiang, ruling over pure yang and illuminating the heavens—what a heroic figure he was! But one wrong step had caused him to fall behind his old friend forever. Truly, it was fate. Yuanshi and Lingbao, the two Heavenly Venerables, were shocked and disappointed. As true descendants of Pangu, they possessed profound knowledge and had once looked down upon the world with such pride. Now, however, they had fallen far behind on the path of primordial chaos, inferior to Taiyi and his elder brother, and far less capable than the ancient sea god before them. Their hearts immediately sank; only they knew the bitterness in their hearts.

The Celestial Venerable of Morality looked at Qi Yu with deep, thoughtful eyes. As the person with the highest cultivation among those present and the closest to the Primordial Chaos Realm, he could see many things much more clearly. At this moment, he understood Qi Yu's state even better. From the moment Qi Yu took back the Myriad Rivers Returning to Origin Diagram, he clearly felt that the other party's aura had risen again, becoming more and more perfect, and even returning to its original simplicity.

Undoubtedly, this must be because Qi Yu resolved the cause and effect of Cang Yuan, leaving no gaps. Perhaps witnessing the power of Gui Xu firsthand also helped him, perfecting his path and making Qi Yu's path to Hunyuan smooth without any obstacles.

The Celestial Venerable of Morality was genuinely envious of this.

As for Wang Shu, compared to the others, her feelings as Qi Yu's Daoist partner were much more straightforward and simple. She was happy for Qi Yu's confidence and proud that her husband was about to take the final step that no one in all the ages had been able to achieve, truly proving himself to sainthood.

"By the way, what should we do with Cang Yuan?"

The one who spoke was Lingbao Tianzun. This Xuanmen Tianzun, who was known for his straightforward personality, was quite capable of self-regulation and became the first strong person among everyone present to get out of his emotions. He then raised his hand and pointed at Cangyuan.

"There are also members of the Demonic Sect."

Qianyang added that with a wave of his sleeve, the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation shone brightly, bringing two demonic figures. One of them was the Demon Dragon Mother, who had long been demonized. The other was somewhat unexpected; it was neither Moro nor Bo Xun, but Moli. Moli had somehow gone to the North Sea battlefield but was captured by Wang Shu. Now they were being escorted here together to await their fate.

Seeing this, Qi Yu raised his eyebrows slightly, but he wasn't particularly surprised by the outcome, since the Myriad Immortals Formation was inherently powerful.

The only pity is that the Demonic Sect still managed to escape the two Demon Kings this time. Bo Xun and Mo Luo are not ordinary Quasi-Saints, and they may cause trouble again in the future.

However, it can only cause some trouble.

After thinking for a moment, Qi Yu finally made a decision.

“Moli has committed heinous crimes and has offended God; he should be executed on the spot.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the azure light of the Void of Returning to Nothingness rose up. Under its immense power, which was infinitely close to the Primordial Chaos Realm, how could Mori, who had already been injured many times, possibly resist? He immediately perished on the spot.

"As for the Demon Dragon Mother, although this fiend also has committed great crimes, she was once the Dao Mother of the Divine Race and a righteous god of the Heavenly Court. Let her be escorted back to Heaven and judged and convicted by Fellow Daoist Fuxi."

This was Qi Yu giving face to the Phoenix Perch Mountain lineage. After all, Fuxi was the current Central Heavenly Emperor, and Qi Yu didn't want to break off relations so quickly. The rotating Heavenly Emperor system was one that he had created, and it still deserved some respect. Therefore, Qi Yu left the decision-making power to Fuxi.

In any case, the Demon Dragon Mother has no other fate but death.

Qi Yu didn't mind giving the Heavenly Emperor a little more face.
