The ancestor is incompetent!

Chapter 234 The End (Part 1)

The two lords of the sun and moon met in the vast void. When the True Lord of the Moon saw him, he was relieved and said, "Now that you have returned, I can rest easy."

The underworld has been opened, and we both know that we most likely won't be able to reach that point.

The Sun True Lord's face was solemn. He nodded and replied, "We both foresaw today's situation. Even if we are defeated in the future, we will simply fall into a deep slumber."

"It's good to be asleep. I've realized that the karma of all living beings is so heavy. I'm tired too."

Taiyin Zhenjun shook his head and sighed softly, "From now on, the Heavenly Palace will depend on you. This time, I suppressed the Six Paths Zhenjun and lost too much of my essence. I have to go into seclusion to recuperate for a while."

"Go ahead and do it. I want to see which of the hundreds of True Monarchs who have lived through countless ages dares to defy me."

The Sun True Lord laughed loudly, his voice reaching the vast void without any attempt to conceal it. The radiance of the great sun shone in all directions, yet all was silent.

……

Beneath the northern city walls, countless vengeful spirits broke through the seal and fled madly from the underworld to the mortal realm. The fall of the Ten Kings of Hell caused the order of the underworld to collapse in an instant.

The wrath of the sun intimidated the group of True Lords. Each of the Ten Kings of Hell was a pseudo-True Lord far surpassing the Golden Core stage. The combined power of the ten was a manifestation of the reincarnation rank. Even the Twelve Lords of the Dao were no more than this, yet the Sun True Lord could destroy them with a wave of his hand.

Amidst the tremors of heaven and earth, on the Tianxia Mountains in the southeast of the Southern Continent, the icy energy surged violently, the first to invade northward, traversing mountains and valleys to enter the Netherworld.

Mount Wanzhou, the Corpse-Eating Cave, the Boneless Land... a group of Golden Core True Persons from the Nine Palaces Daoist lineage and the Immortal Sects, having received the True Lord's decree, rushed into the Netherworld to vie for the life of that false True Lord.

But no matter how fast these golden cores were, they couldn't outrun Li Yuan, who was already above the Netherworld. He found one of the ten scattered destinies flowing in all directions of the Netherworld and chased after it relentlessly.

In an instant, the once bustling Southern Continent fell into a kind of silence, with only a few Golden Core cultivators refraining from going to seize it.

It was at this moment that the two seas of Li and Xuan, which had been at peace for hundreds of years, broke out into a great war again. Countless sea monsters fought in the deep sea. Jin Yuan stood on the vast sea, staring at the Demon King of Nanchuan, his golden eyes flashing with a strange light. "Nanchuan, you have always been arrogant and wanted to use the principle of Ren and Gui to prove your position. You did not hesitate to be my enemy for many years. Now, the time has finally come to determine the winner."

Hearing his old rival say this, the Demon King of Nanchuan was also alarmed. The two had been enemies for many years and knew each other inside and out. The other party was always cunning and would never make such a boastful statement if he was not absolutely certain.

"Old Dragon, instead of vying for the pseudo-True Lord position in the Ten Paths of the Netherworld, are you going to waste your time here with me?" The Demon King of Nanchuan said in a deep voice, "You and I should both know that there is probably no one in the world who can ascend to the position of True Lord now. Why not seize the fate of a pseudo-True Lord, so that we can ascend to the Heavenly Palace or descend to the Netherworld, which is comparable to the carefree and eternal life of a True Lord? Wouldn't that be wonderful?"

"Hehe, you and I are old rivals. A pseudo-True Lord destiny? After cultivating for thousands of years, are you really willing to give up the path of the True Lord?" Jin Yuan sighed. "Whether you succeed or not, you will have to try it yourself in the end!"

I have observed Nanjue Island for thousands of years. Master Jiang locked the Heavenly Palace, preventing anyone from ascending to the throne. Everyone on Nanjue Island says there is no path to the Golden Elixir.

Today, all cultivators in the world desire the position of True Monarch, which is exactly the same path that the cultivators of the Southern Absolute sought to ascend to the throne back then!
Someone always has to risk their life! Fellow Daoist Nanchuan, would you be willing to witness this?

The sea was calm on the surface, but at the bottom of the deep sea, demon blood stained the sea red, and broken corpses piled up like mountains. Two great demon kings who had been enemies for many years addressed each other as fellow Daoists at this moment.

The sea breeze ruffled the long hair behind the Demon King of Nanchuan. After hesitating for a moment, the Demon King said coldly, "If you fail, I will take the opportunity to seize your power and use it. If you succeed, you will also take my position to settle the karma."

From the moment we ascended to power on this vast ocean, we have been irreconcilable enemies.

We are enemies, not friends!

"Heh heh, what a fine 'enemy, not friend' attitude. In that case, then blame me for being impolite." Jin Yuan laughed loudly, "Then let's see who lives and who dies today!"

He spoke towards the southwest, saying, "Senior Ke Haitianjiao, please come out and lend me your help!"

As the words fell, a dreamlike, deep blue sea mist drifted in, and a majestic merman figure rose from the sea. The merman's magnificent body had somehow appeared at the junction of the Li and Xuan seas.

The Demon King of Nanchuan's expression turned grim, and he asked, "Tianjiao, why did you have to be born and get involved in all these causes and effects?"

The Heavenly Shark's eyes shimmered with azure light, dazzling and captivating, like a deity walking among mortals, causing countless sea monsters fighting in the depths of the ocean to fall into a deep sleep.

He replied emotionlessly, "To remain hidden from the world is to await death. The world has undergone a great change, and my merfolk race has no choice but to emerge into the world to seek a chance at survival."

"Fellow Daoist Jin Yuan, let's begin."

"Thank you for your trouble, senior." Jin Yuan bowed respectfully, then transformed into a golden dragon thousands of feet in size. The seawater rose from all directions, creating towering waves. In just a few breaths, the clear sky turned into a dark, heavy curtain of clouds, and the waters of the Li and Xuan seas rose hundreds of feet above the surface.

The Demon King of Nanchuan had a somewhat gloomy expression. Tianjiao was a five-life golden core cultivator and had lived for far longer than him. Even though he was somewhat confident in his own strength, he knew he was no match for the other party.

Seemingly having seen through the Southern River Demon King's thoughts, Tianjiao said calmly, "I did not come for you, so do not interfere in this matter. When I arrived, I had already sealed off the Myriad Pearl Sea, and that clam demon will have a hard time escaping for the time being."

Since the other party had already said that, the Demon King of Nanchuan had no choice but to swallow his anger and turn back to Lihai, not daring to linger or appear again.

Seeing this, Tianjiao slowly raised his hand and grabbed, and a vast mist rushed from the sea to the land, crashing into the city that guarded the sea amidst the terrified cries of the human cultivators near the shore.

"Boom~"

A series of illusions emerged from the deep blue mist, accompanied by the roar of rushing water, as the city was surrounded by floodwaters, shaking the colossal city.

Li Yuan, standing atop Law Enforcement Peak, gazed into the distance. After a moment of contemplation, he sighed, "It has all come to this. Dugu Yunzhi, you have chosen the wrong path."

What is unfolding before our eyes is Dugu Yunzhi's ambition, or perhaps the last gamble of those true men who are unwilling to lose their chance to prove themselves.

It has been far too long since a true ruler has ascended the throne!
Even going back another 30,000 years, only the deposed True Lords returned to their positions, and no new True Persons were ever granted the title of True Lord!

Even the True Water Lord who was supported and certified by the Ren and Gui waters was originally a part differentiated from the Four Symbols Rank True Lord.

The four winds converged and flowed southward, causing the peach blossoms of Qiling Land to scatter in all directions. Li Yuan knew that Dugu Yunzhi was a person who possessed some kind of skill from the Tianqi Immortal Sect, otherwise he wouldn't have been protected by True Person Weiyang.

What could be the thing that Master Weiyang would protect with her life?

The True Lords also harbored doubts, and thus imprisoned her day after day, trying to uncover her secrets. Unfortunately, Dugu Yunzhi concealed her secrets year after year with countless demonic bloodlines, until this day. In the south, the giant city that suppressed Dugu Yunzhi was gradually becoming ethereal, the Xun wind returned to nothingness, and azure light spread everywhere.

The somewhat eccentric woman has finally reappeared in the public eye.

She turned and looked north, coldly saying, "Tianqi has been destroyed, and the shackles of Xuanming Weiyang should also be freed from my body!"

Today, I, Dugu Yunzhi, have cultivated the Dao for over 5,300 years, and have divided into countless Xun winds to merge with all the Daos, thus completing the position of Xun wind. Now I ask Heaven and Earth to help me attain my position!

With the blessing of destiny, one can preserve their life even without entering the Heavenly Palace!

The imperial edict ordered the four winds to open the ancient boundary.

"

As soon as he finished speaking, Jin Xi's body in the Jin Yuan Palace uncontrollably transformed into a Kan Water destiny, returning to his mother's body to complete his destiny.

Dugu Yunzhi's aura gradually rose, and the Xunfeng position appeared in the Nine Heavens. The Xun Ancient Wind Realm began to appear in a blurry way between heaven and earth, and all paths retreated.

In the Myriad Pearl Sea, seven-colored light rippled, and True Person Xuanwan was heavily suppressed by the waters of Kehai and could not escape.

Xuan Wan shouted from the bottom of the deep sea: "Dugu Yunzhi! Have you forgotten the mission of the Dugu clan?"

Upon hearing this, Dugu Yunzhi, who was perched atop the myriad winds, sneered: "When Xuanming locked my position back then, did he ever think of me? What did He want to do with me? Did He ever ask for my wishes?"

The will He left in my primordial spirit has been assimilating my mind and nature. If I continue to guard it, I am destined to become an incarnation of Xuanming!
Rather than that, let's take a gamble!

Upon hearing this, the True Lords high in the Heavenly Palace were all shaken. The will of Xuanming was not in the Yuan Shui Golden Core, but in such a weak old Golden Core.
Weren't all the scenes they saw earlier deliberately shown to them by Xuanming?

At this moment, all the True Lords seemed to realize something. They had some concerns in their hearts and no longer tried to stop Dugu Yunzhi.

If she succeeds, then Xuanming will likely never return. Their very fates will be buried with her in the annals of time, unknown to anyone.

If the evidence is not in someone else's possession, then it is not considered evidence!
In an instant, all the True Lords secretly offered their assistance, hoping that this woman could truly attain her position and break free from her shackles.

Even if the hope is slim, they are willing to give it a try.

The image of the Xun wind gradually appeared in the sky above the Southern Continent, transforming into the image of the White Tiger, which stood tall in the clouds. The Geng metal wind appeared in the west, and all living beings in the world watched as Dugu Yunzhi walked step by step toward the position of True Lord.

At the Lei family residence in Wushan, Lei Ruan let out a heavy sigh and said to Lei Wulan beside him, "Lan'er, from now on, the Lei family will have to rely on you."

Today is the day my final bolt of celestial lightning will appear in this world!

Lei Wulan exclaimed in surprise, "Ancestor, why... did you go to this?"

"The mandate of the sun must be obeyed!"

Lei Ruan instructed, "Remember, after I leave, the Lei family will have no further connection with the Tai Xuan Immortal Sect or the Sun True Lord! You must seclude yourself in the mountains and live in seclusion. You must not attach yourself to any immortal sect or Dao lineage in the Nine Provinces!"

"Yes! This junior will keep it in mind!" Lei Wulan dared not refute after being glared at by his ancestor with a stern look, and could only accept the order.

"Boom~"

The next moment, thunder roared in the heavens and lightning flashed in all directions.

The ancestor in front of her had disappeared, and only in the sky amidst the raging wind and rain, thousands of thunderbolts flashed, and the thunder of the nine heavens shook thousands of combined thunderbolts.

All the True Immortals of Thunder Palace stared in awe at the thunder from the heavens. All the cultivators under heaven, even the True Monarchs, were taken aback, and thunderclaps suddenly rose in their hearts.

The Thunder God controls the punishments of Heaven and Earth, and commands all the gods and rulers, who obey him without question.

The lightning illuminated Dugu Yunzhi's face, and she was suddenly jolted awake from her reverie about her divine status. Her sharp voice rang out, "The heavenly thunder has long since vanished from the world, so where did this heavenly thunder come from?"

Amidst the thunder, Lei Ruan's voice rang out. He said helplessly, "Fellow Daoist Dugu, neither you nor I, nor any of the living beings in this world, have ever escaped this chessboard of heaven and earth."

You bear the will of Xuanming, and I am the God of Suxiao Thunder. Both of you are about to return to the mortal realm. We must accept our fate and accept it in order to be reborn!

"Reincarnation? I have waited for the True Monarch for thousands of years, and I have endured the imprisonment of those long years. How can I bear to miss this opportunity to achieve the Great Dao?" Dugu Yunzhi cried out in anguish, "Even if my soul is scattered, I will fight with all my might!"

"roar~"

The White Tiger raises its head and roars, shaking heaven and earth. The Xun wind howls like a dragon, shaking all things, in order to resist the punishment of the heavenly thunder.

All the True Lords in the world were focused on the raging wind and thunder at this moment, even ignoring the fates of the ten pseudo-True Lords in the Netherworld, and staring intently at the heavens above.

"Rumble..."

Throughout the heavens and earth, across the nine continents, thunder and rain poured down. The storm raged, the rain poured down relentlessly, and the floods surged. Even after three days and three nights, the thunder and the winds still did not cease.

Until a loud rooster crowed in the heavens, the brilliant sunlight shone on the earth, the rain stopped, the thunder dimmed, the gale ceased, and everything returned to calm.

Thunder is silenced by wind, wind is submerged in water, and the four seas return to peace.

Above the Golden Crow, the voice of the sun resounded, reaching the ears of all the True Lords, who were all horrified.

"Xuanming and Xiaolei, it's been a long time."
