Chapter 353 [Mythical Taiyi, Sacrificing His Life for Righteousness] (Please Subscribe)
With the victory gained in several battlefields including the East Sea, the Heavenly Court, the Netherworld Blood Sea, and Mount Sumeru, the prehistoric saints officially began their counterattack against the ferocious beast army.

One after another, Taiyi, Daluo, and Quasi-Saints entered the battlefield, countless ferocious beasts turned to ashes, and the calamity aura that permeated the heavens and earth also began to dissipate.

However, it did not dissipate naturally, but was absorbed by someone using a secret method!

The Kunlun Mountains stretch endlessly, and on one of the unremarkable peaks, Shen Gongbao is inhaling and exhaling the boundless calamity energy in the void.

Meanwhile, Taiyi Zhenren held the "Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover" and stood guard beside him.

If an ordinary being were to be tainted by so much calamity energy, they would likely have already lost their Dao heart, their spiritual platform collapsed, and they would have completely degenerated into a demon who only knows how to kill.

Shen Gongbao, however, cultivates the Great Dao of Calamity. This endless calamity energy is the elixir that can enhance his cultivation and replenish his origin.

As the creatures of the primordial world continued to perish, and as countless chaotic demons disguised as ferocious beasts turned to ashes under the divine powers of the saints, Shen Gongbao's aura also rose accordingly. In just a few days, he had already touched the threshold of the Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal realm.

However, he did not cultivate the pure Great Dao of Calamity, but also the Great Dao of Cause and Effect. He wanted to use this great calamity of ferocious beasts to achieve the Dao fruit of "Calamity Primordial Beginning"!
That's why there's been no breakthrough for so long!

Beside him, the Taiyi Zhenren also exuded a mysterious aura. A boundless and dazzling Taiyi Dao Fruit connected the past, present, and future of the three thousand universes, reflecting the heavens and the universe, radiating the meaning of the infinite, and was not much inferior to Shen Gongbao's Hunyuan Dao Fruit.

As the primordial world was reshaped, many beings embarked on the path of Hunyuan Golden Immortals, but Taiyi Zhenren chose to continue his studies at the Taiyi realm.

Of course, he continued to cultivate the method of severing the three corpses. However, because he had deeply cultivated the Taiyi Dao Fruit, his three corpses were different from those of other cultivators.

The evil corpse, "Emperor Qinghua of the Eastern Pole," established the Qinghua Chang Le Realm and the Dongji Miaoyan Palace in the past to guide the suffering souls of all the heavens and myriad realms to reincarnate.

The benevolent corpse, "Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun," manifests in countless forms throughout the world, traversing the heavens to relieve suffering and constantly expanding the limits of the Taiyi realm.

The self-corpse, in the future final calamity, inherits part of the authority of the Primordial Heavenly Venerable, and in the name of Taiyi, elevates its own Taiyi Dao Fruit to the profound realm of "the Dao being equal to Heaven, and the God being the same as the Dao".

"I do not cultivate the Great Luo, nor attain the Primordial Chaos, nor become a sage. I only wish that the Dao of Taiyi may endure in the world, and that the fruits of the Dao of Taiyi may illuminate the three worlds and ten directions, and all the heavens of the universe!"

At this moment, Taiyi Zhenren had a sudden inspiration, as if he had found his own path. He pointed his fingers like a knife and directly severed his own Daluo realm. Then he also severed his Golden Immortal Dao Fruit, allowing himself to transform into the origin of the Great Dao in the final tribulation, becoming the source of the Taiyi realm's lineage.

In the final tribulation, his Taiyi Dao Fruit became unique. While a Daluo Golden Immortal can rewind time and space, if a Taiyi realm reaches the current level of Taiyi, it can make every rewind of a Daluo lead to a unique end, causing the endings of countless timelines to ultimately collapse into a single point, as if it were predestined.

A Great Immortal can travel back in time countless times, but as long as Taiyi Zhenren is present in a timeline, no matter how much effort you put in or how many changes you make, you will eventually return to the original ending.

Destiny cannot be violated!

In the timeline where Taiyi Zhenren exists, he is destiny, his words are the rules of heaven, and he can control the course of infinite timelines.

With this characteristic, Taiyi Zhenren at this moment is enough to surpass all Daluo and Quasi-Saints, and can even be compared with Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortals.

There is no other reason!

A Primordial Golden Immortal can create their own timeline, write an ending that is favorable to them, and then reunite the timeline, integrating their own destiny into the main axis of spacetime.

"what happened?"

At this moment, all the Great Luo Golden Immortals in the Primordial True Realm felt it; as the Great Dao of Taiyi sublimated, the authority of the Great Luo Golden Immortals was weakened!
Human Immortal, Earth Immortal, Celestial Immortal, True Immortal, Mysterious Immortal, Golden Immortal, Taiyi Golden Immortal, Daluo Golden Immortal...

This was originally a path of continuous advancement in cultivation, but as the Great Dao of Taiyi was sublimated, a fork appeared at the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm.

After Taiyi, one should have followed the four realms of Daluo and the path of Hunyuan, condensing the Dao Fruit of Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal and elevating one's own Great Dao to its ultimate level.

But now, with the ultimate sublimation of the Great Dao of Taiyi, another path has emerged. After Taiyi, there is no longer the Great Luo Golden Immortal, but the Limitless Great Dao of Taiyi, which includes the Heavenly Yi, the Supreme Yi, the Divine Yi, the Saint Yi, and the Dao Yi.

Tianyi is the ultimate sublimation of Taiyi, with a position equivalent to Daluo Jinxian, while Zhiyi and Shenyi are further sublimations based on Tianyi.

Saint Yi is already equivalent to a saint!
As for Dao Yi, he is a step further than Sheng Yi, holding a position equal to the Heavenly Dao and comparable to the top-tier Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal of the "Dao and Heaven are equal" realm.

This great path does not involve subtraction or seeking emptiness, nor does it eliminate cause and effect. Everything about it is to enable cultivators to continuously advance on the path of Taiyi.

This great path involves no subtraction, but only continuous addition, constantly perfecting one's own Dao fruit, and bringing one's Great Dao infinitely closer to that "one".

"Shu Zi, you dare!"

One of the Great Luo Golden Immortals felt his authority was being diminished. Under the influence of the calamity energy, he instantly lost all reason and recklessly attacked Taiyi Zhenren.

However, before he could even get close to Taiyi Zhenren, boundless calamity fire rose in the void, turning his Daluo physical body directly into ashes.

Seeing this, Shen Gongbao sighed helplessly, "Senior Brother Taiyi, are you protecting me, or am I protecting you?"

Upon hearing this, Master Taiyi laughed and said, "Why should fellow disciples care about such things?"

With a loud shout, the "Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover" instantly transformed into nine fire dragons, sweeping across all directions and spewing out endless "Samadhi True Fire".

At the same time, a white immortal sword appeared, multiplying into two, then four, then eight... until it filled the heavens with countless sands of the Ganges.

"Taiyi Splitting Light Sword!"

This innate treasure was crafted by Daoist Duobao at his request. It is extremely compatible with the Dao of Taiyi and can allow the sword light to split infinitely.

The sword light was dazzling, like a celestial river hanging upside down, like the sun in the sky, and the constantly splitting sword energy annihilated everything under the influence of the Taiyi Dao.

These sword energies were not powerful at first, only equivalent to a strike from an ordinary Taiyi Golden Immortal. But their most strange feature was that even when they were divided into billions, the sword energies that were split off did not weaken in the slightest.

So much so that when the number of sword lights exceeds hundreds of millions, it is as if hundreds of millions of Taiyi Golden Immortals are slashing at you with the same sword from different timelines.

Just as a rope can saw through wood and water can wear away stone, when the quantity reaches a certain level, quality can be completely disregarded, resulting in such a devastating strike.

This is also the core of Taiyi Avenue!

A one-foot stick, if half of it is taken away each day, will never be exhausted, though it stops at the finite and flows on without end.

Furthermore, the Way of Taiyi allows it to maintain its original quality even as it continues to differentiate, and the Way of the Limitless transforms into the Way of the Limitless Taiyi.

Shen Gongbao couldn't help but ask curiously, "Then, Senior Brother Taiyi, what realm are you at now?"

He had also heard Taiyi Zhenren explain the Great Dao of Taiyi, but now Taiyi Zhenren's aura had changed, clearly indicating that he had made a new breakthrough.

"It must be the Saintly Second Realm!"

The Great Perfection Master laughed and said, "The perfect man has no self, the divine man has no merit, the sage has no name. Beyond that, one contends for power with the indescribable Great Dao!"

"Junior brother, you must work hard!"

"If so much calamity energy still cannot help you achieve the Primordial Calamity and break through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, then your teacher's efforts will have been in vain!"

At this moment, the Taiyi Zhenren was not a saint, yet he surpassed even a saint. The Dao of Taiyi resonated with all other Daos, transforming into a bright, round halo behind his head. "Yes!"

Shen Gongbao responded awkwardly.

This great calamity is escalating, with more and more lives being lost, saints constantly descending upon the scene, and the calamity energy between heaven and earth becoming increasingly intense. If he still cannot break through, he should really find a block of tofu to smash his head against!
Of course, those who benefited from this great calamity were not only Taiyi Zhenren and Shen Gongbao, but also Guiling Shengmu, Wudang Shengmu, Zhao Gongming, and others.

The Holy Mother of the Tortoise Spirit was originally the Black Tortoise of the North Sea, possessing the power to suppress heaven and earth. After being reshaped in the primordial world, she further cultivated the Great Dao of Suppression to a completely new level.

Now, he is only a hair's breadth away from breaking through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm!
The same goes for Our Lady of Wudang.

Her true form was the first great white ape in the world. While observing the Great Dao of the Four Monkeys of Chaos, she deduced new insights from the Law of War, comprehended the Law of Struggle, and evolved the Holy Law of Struggle.

The Hunyuan realm can be broken at any time!

As for Zhao Gongming, although his foundation was slightly inferior to the two, he also secured a place in the ancient starry sky after Di Jun re-established the Heavenly Court.

In the ancient starry sky, there were three enclosures and four symbols, namely the Taiwei Enclosure, the Ziwei Enclosure, and the Tianshi Enclosure.

Taiwei Enclosure is the location of the Golden Spirit Mother's Daoist temple, while Ziwei Enclosure is occupied by the Golden Spirit Mother's disciple, who is now the Ziwei Emperor.

The remaining Heavenly Market Enclosure was a place for many immortals and gods to trade. After Zhao Gongming was destroyed and then established, he successfully took control of the Heavenly Market Enclosure by relying on the Great Dao of Trade.

Now, with the great calamity approaching, the flesh and corpses of various ferocious beasts are invaluable treasures, and many immortals and gods are trading them in the Heavenly Market.

In chaotic times, the best thing to do is to get rich!
Under these circumstances, Zhao Gongming's understanding of business principles also made rapid progress.

As the saints displayed their supernatural powers, the great calamity of the ferocious beasts was quickly suppressed, and nearly 80% of the ferocious beasts were reduced to ashes in the encirclement and suppression.

Only about 20% of the ferocious beasts remained, and under the leadership of the Demon God of Returning to the Void and the Demon God of the Abyss, they hid in some extremely secluded blessed lands.

Xuanqing did not send any more avatars.

The great calamity of ferocious beasts has lasted for more than a dozen eons, and having tested the methods of the saints, he no longer needs to send out avatars!

The methods of the sages dazzled him and he benefited greatly, but the Great Dao of Taiyi revealed by Taiyi was the greatest gain from this great calamity.

"A completely new path: Taiyi, Tianyi, Zhiyi, Shenyi, Shengyi, Daoyi!"

Xuanqing would not cultivate only the Taiyi Dao Fruit like Taiyi Zhenren, but this path could serve as a reference for his mythical Taiyi realm.

"Times have changed, and it's time to put an end to the great calamity of the ferocious beasts!"

The essence of this great calamity is to test the trump cards of the saints and draw resources from them to perfect the mythological realm system conceived by Xuanqing.

Now that the objective has been achieved and most of the ferocious beasts have been lost, there is naturally no need to continue!
In fact, seeing that Xuanqing did not continue to send out incarnations of the Chaos Demon God, Yuanshi Tianzun and Shi Qilin and others also decided to end this turmoil!

The goals of the Ancestral Dragon, the Primordial Phoenix, and the First Qilin have all been achieved, and the saints of the prehistoric world no longer have the energy to pay attention to them!

Of course, they are the same!
They didn't have the energy to continue causing trouble. In this great calamity, although they had taken the opportunity to see clearly the methods of the other Grand Luo Golden Immortals, their own losses were also considerable!
We need to rest and recuperate!

At this moment, the Divine Incarnation of Yuanshi Tianzun, along with the four ferocious beast kings—the Styx River, the Ancestral Dragon, the Primordial Phoenix, and the Primordial Qilin—are gathering on the western land with the remaining ferocious beasts.

As for why it's the West?

Isn't that obvious?

Even saints have selfish desires. If they want to make a dignified exit, how can they do so on their own turf?

The five people glanced at each other, then stood in the five-elemental positions, devouring everything and melting the remaining ferocious beasts into a terrifying beast.

This ferocious beast, with a body hundreds of millions of feet tall, and having merged with a portion of the Great Dao of the five of them, was enough to crush most of the saints in the prehistoric world.

Of course, there are actually more than a dozen Chaos Demon Gods hiding in the shadows, but they are all afraid and dare not confront the Primordial Saints head-on for the time being.

They were just hiding in the shadows, spying!

Yuanshi Tianzun played two roles, acting as the Beast King Shenni on one hand and righteously declaring on the other: "Today is your doomsday, Shenni. With fellow Daoists here, you should surrender!"

"Not bad!"

Zu Long also spoke up: "Shennie, is it up to you to save face, or do we help you save face?"

"Godly rebellion, those who commit many evil deeds will surely perish! You colluded with the Chaos Demon God, destroyed the primordial world, and unleashed the Great Calamity of ferocious beasts. Your crimes are truly unforgivable!" Yuan Feng continued to add to the drama: "Today, let us act on behalf of Heaven and completely slay you, this so-called Beast King!"

"Me too!"

Seeing that the others had already said both good and bad things, Shi Qilin could only nod in agreement. No matter what he did behind the scenes, he still had to maintain his public image.

"Then let's see what you're capable of!"

Shen Ni was not afraid at all. An aura of dominance that filled the boundless space and time filled the universe: "Even if I die, I will definitely take a few saints with me!"

Upon hearing this, the Tongtian Sect Leader quickly gave Yuanshi Tianzun a wink, as if to say, "You don't really want to take this opportunity to get rid of a few saints, do you?"
He knew Shen Ni's identity!

Taiqing Laozi, upon hearing this, gave Yuanshi Tianzun a strange look.

"I'm prepared to die once!"

Upon seeing this, Yuanshi Tianzun immediately responded telepathically: "Sacrificing oneself for the primordial world is a great opportunity to harvest faith, solidify the position of Fuli Yuanshi Tianzun, and transform the false into the true! Eldest brother, third brother, remember to rescue me!"

After saying that, without waiting for their response, he directly activated the "Pangu Banner"!
Seeing this, the other sages were puzzled, but they had no choice but to join in the attack.

"All paths return to stillness!"

"Shennie" did not stand idly by; instead, he displayed boundless ferocity and fought against more than a dozen Grand Luo Golden Immortal cultivators from the Primordial World with his own strength. They were evenly matched and he was not at a disadvantage in the slightest.

It wasn't until more sages intervened, each displaying their own great Dao and supernatural powers, that His arrogance was suppressed.

Boom!

The void exploded, the heavens and earth trembled, and the river of time and space surged with terrifying waves. Under the siege of the saints, Shen Ni's physical body began to collide continuously.

"Let's die together!"

A terrifying power erupted instantly, and Yuanshi Tianzun and the first few saints were the first to be annihilated by a vast destructive force.
