The Weird Way of Immortality: My Taoism Progress in One Day a Year

"Heavenly Dao God Venerable!"

Yu Xu Daojun and the others also witnessed this scene from Li Yan's inner world.

Their hearts were filled with shock at that moment.

Although they had anticipated this, they knew that once they reached the thirteenth level, they would be entering a completely new realm.

But when they saw that the entire vast continent of the Xuan Tian Secret Realm was actually just the head of the Heavenly Dao God, they were still somewhat incredulous.

"The Heavenly Dao God Venerable of the Mysterious Heaven Realm is so terrifying, can the True Word Emperor Venerable lead us away?"

A sense of unease arose in the hearts of Daoist Yuxu and the others.

This is not because of distrust of Li Yan.

Rather, it was the Heavenly Dao God before them that was truly terrifying.

The place where they had been before was the seemingly endless mountain range of gods and demons.

Now it seems that it is just the bridge of the nose of the Heavenly Dao God.

The entire Xuan Tian Secret Realm seems to have been refined by the Heavenly Dao God and transformed into the Heavenly Dao God's form.

Such a Heavenly Dao God-Emperor must possess terrifying strength, which is truly beyond their imagination.

“You don’t need to worry. This Heavenly Dao God is indeed extraordinary. Even though he has not merged with the Dao due to the flaws in the laws, he still possesses immortal characteristics.”

"But his strength is already close to the peak of the thirteenth rank."

"Even so, he might not be a match for Fellow Daoist Zhenyan!"

With a smile on his face, Emperor Qianyi looked down at the Heavenly Dao God who was recovering through the world in Li Yan's sleeve, and comforted the Dao Lords beside him.

He had long suspected that Li Yan was a ruthless person who had once put an immortal emperor into a deep sleep.

Moreover, it can see through cause and effect, which is not an ability that ordinary immortal gods can obtain.

The Heavenly Dao God is indeed extraordinary.

Even an ordinary immortal emperor, even one who has reached the later stages of the thirteenth rank, may not necessarily gain any advantage over a Heavenly Dao God.

After all, the Heavenly Dao God Venerable had already refined the entire Xuan Tian Secret Realm.

Li Yan is currently trapped in the Xuan Tian Secret Realm. Fighting here gives the Heavenly Dao God Venerable a home-field advantage, which can indeed make up for the lack of integration with the laws.

But the Li Yan that the Heavenly Dao God Venerable is facing right now is no ordinary Immortal Emperor Venerable.

Emperor Qianyi was well aware of Li Yan's current performance.

Its own strength has definitely reached the peak of the thirteenth rank.

An immortal emperor who has reached the thirteenth level of ultimate power and merged the laws with the Dao.

Furthermore, it has developed its own laws to an extremely deep level.

Otherwise, it would be absolutely impossible to see through cause and effect.

Emperor Qianyi was well aware of just how terrifying the strength of such an immortal emperor was.

Upon hearing Emperor Qianyi's words, the five Dao Lords' lingering worries finally dissipated.

The Jade Void Daoist Lord has already told the other Daoists about the identity of Emperor Qianyi.

They naturally believed the words of an immortal emperor who specialized in the laws of heaven.

But the more this was the case, the more curious they became about Li Yan.

"Just how powerful is the True Word Emperor? He can even deal with the Heavenly Dao Emperor, whose strength seems so astonishing?"

"What exactly happened in the True Realm during the hundreds of thousands of years we were away? How could such a powerful figure as the True Word Emperor have been born!"

The five Dao Lords were filled with questions as they silently watched Li Yan's next move.

Li Yan had already risen to the highest point in the sky; any further ascent would touch the barrier of the Xuan Tian Secret Realm.

If the barrier is broken, one can leave the Xuan Tian Secret Realm directly.

Although the Heavenly Dao God has now awakened, the Xuan Tian Secret Realm is now entirely under his control.

Therefore, the barrier of this Mysterious Heaven Realm is even more solid.

Even a thirteenth-level Emperor would need to put in some effort to break through the barrier and leave.

But this was nothing to Li Yan.

Now that Li Yan has come to the Xuan Tian Secret Realm and learned that the body of the Heavenly Dao God Venerable is a material for making top-tier Origin Realm treasures.

How could he be willing to leave so easily?

"It's all here."

Li Yan's eyes flickered slightly; he had no intention of taking the opportunity to leave.

At this moment, all living beings in the entire Xuan Tian Secret Realm...

The incomplete Heavenly Daos, including those born from the Mysterious Heavenly Realm, are currently experiencing the cataclysmic disaster.

They were directly devoured and refined by the devouring power generated by the Xuan Tian Secret Realm, becoming nourishment for the Heavenly Dao God Venerable.

Furthermore, as the Heavenly Dao God continues to recover, the speed at which it is being refined is also accelerating.

"The Heavenly Dao God of this Mysterious Heaven Realm is indeed quite formidable."

“Nurture the creatures and the Dao of Heaven in the secret realm, let them grow, and then devour them in one fell swoop in the end, thereby making up for your own defects.”

"If He is given enough time to continuously cycle through this process, He might be able to make up for the defects, and even merge with the Dao through this law, truly stepping into the realm of immortality."

"Moreover, once the flaws are corrected, one can immediately step into the thirteenth level of ultimate power."

"There's even a chance to reach the fourteenth level!"

Li Yan's eyes widened in amazement.

The powerful anomalies born in the secret realm are indeed extraordinary.

“Stay…!”

suddenly.

A giant, earth-yellow palm burst forth from the ground, instantly soaring into the sky and lunging towards Li Yan high above.

Li Yan, however, did not find this strange.

This Heavenly Dao God devours living beings and the Heavenly Dao in order to compensate for his own shortcomings.

And what better way to compensate for oneself than the body of an immortal emperor, imbued with boundless power, that comes from the outside world?

If Li Yan's body could be refined, the Heavenly Dao God Venerable would no longer need to endure trillions of years of reincarnation, and could even directly advance to perfection.

The moment he stepped into the Xuan Tian Secret Realm, he attracted the attention of the Heavenly Dao God.

That's why he woke up directly from his slumber.

They began harvesting before the end of the world had even arrived.

"What a coincidence! You want to refine my body to perfection, and I also want your body as nourishment for the Mo Yuan Sword!"

Li Yan flicked his sword finger, and a beam of cyan sword light suddenly condensed from his fingertip.

The sword light flew out swiftly, heading towards the giant palm.

Furthermore, the closer one gets to the giant hand, the larger the sword light becomes.

However, just a moment later, when the sword light clashed head-on with the giant earthen-yellow palm.

The cyan sword light had expanded to the point where it could blot out the sky.

It was as if most of the sky was covered by the blue sword light.

With a single sword that could blot out the sky, such a powerful technique left the five Dao Lords of the hidden world speechless.

Although they already knew from Emperor Qianyi that Li Yan possessed the strength to contend with the Heavenly Dao God.

But it wasn't until Li Yan unleashed that sword light that they realized what was happening.

Just how powerful has our True Word Emperor reached?
The giant, earthen-yellow palm was powerless against Li Yan's azure sword light.

In an instant, it was split in two.

And the entire sky was cleaved open by Li Yan's sharp sword light.

The world within this secret realm has already been refined by the Heavenly Dao God.

Therefore, Li Yan's sword strike was equivalent to cutting a huge gash in the skin of the Heavenly Dao God.

Within the narrow spatial rift, the power of the void appeared and disappeared intermittently. Although around the rift, a force of creation seemed to be emerging, slowly healing the spatial rift.

However, this power of creation was eroded by the sword intent in the remaining sword energy, causing the healing speed to become extremely slow.

"Roar!" A deafening roar suddenly resounded between heaven and earth.

The temperature in the air of the entire Xuan Tian Secret Realm began to rise rapidly.

This was the Heavenly Dao God beginning to rage; mountains and rocks crumbled, the earth turned into scorching lava, and the river water was steamed into terrifyingly high-temperature steam.

The Xuan Tian Secret Realm was a scene of apocalypse, with the power of the laws of destruction raging within.

There were originally some highly advanced beings and celestial gods and demons who hid in secret places, barely surviving.

At this final moment, even they could no longer hold on, and were utterly destroyed by the destructive power of the Heavenly Dao God, their entire foundation of laws being devoured.

"The time has come."

Li Yan's eyes flickered slightly.

He waited for so long because he was waiting for the Heavenly Dao God to devour everything in the Xuan Tian Secret Realm, so that his remains after his fall would be the most precious.

"By devouring you, I can reach perfection!"

Below Li Yan, a gigantic figure formed from pure law power slowly rose from the secret realm.

As the giant figure rose, the entire Xuan Tian Secret Realm seemed to shake.

"Boom!"

The Heavenly Dao God Venerable fully awakened. His eyes, burning with flames and as bright as the sun, gazed at Li Yan's body, which was as insignificant as dust, and a hint of greed appeared in them.

His body trembled slightly, a signal of longing reaching Him.

As long as it can devour Li Yan's body, it can become stronger.

Transcend this secret realm, no longer bound by any constraints.

His aura continued to rise, and a force arose throughout the entire secret realm, pressing down on Li Yan.

"The Ink Abyss Sword!"

Li Yan's expression hardened; at this point, he naturally wouldn't be careless.

The Mo Yuan Sword shot out directly from within his body, its dark blade radiating an incomparably pure aura of sword principles.

"A top-tier Origin Realm treasure!"

The Jade Void Daoist and the others did not find anything amiss with the Ink Abyss Sword.

However, Emperor Qianyi, being an immortal emperor, saw through the trick.

His expression suddenly turned serious, and a solemn look appeared in his eyes.

Although he had made all the previous guesses, he was only convinced when Li Yan actually activated the Mo Yuan Sword. Li Yan actually possessed a top-tier Origin Realm treasure, and it was even a divine sword of law!
Even the most ordinary top-tier Origin Realm treasures are enough to make many Immortal Emperors fight tooth and nail for them.

Moreover, it is a Law God Sword that ranks among the top treasures of the Origin Realm.

Many immortal emperors don't even possess top-tier Origin Realm treasures, let alone a divine sword of this level.

"go with!"

Li Yan let out a soft shout, his body surging with divine power. He used the Taiyi Sword Dao Law to drive the Mo Yuan Sword, causing the light of the laws on the Mo Yuan Sword to surge, and he suddenly stabbed towards the huge body of the Heavenly Dao God.

Furthermore, during the flight, the sword dao laws began to evolve continuously, and in just a short time, they had already evolved into thousands of sword dao laws.

These sword principles, when combined, suddenly surged in power!
The Heavenly Dao God Venerable clearly did not take the Ink Abyss Sword activated by Li Yan seriously.

As a fragmented Heavenly Dao born in a secret realm, it possesses some wisdom, but also has significant flaws.

Only by perfecting Himself can He fully transform into a wise being.

He once again activated his enormous hand, gathering the power of laws, and reached out to grab the Ink Abyss Sword.

The giant hand tore through the air, bringing powerful wind pressure, but this obviously had no effect on the Mo Yuan Sword.

"cut!"

Li Yan's gaze sharpened, and he saw the Mo Yuan Sword slash horizontally, directly disappearing into the giant palm of the Heavenly Dao God Venerable and vanishing without a trace.

However, in the next instant...

The giant palm formed by the power of the Heavenly Dao God's laws was directly cleaved down.

He wanted to take back the giant hand, but found that the giant hand had lost contact with him.

Furthermore, the power of the laws above has been completely destroyed.

The tiny, dust-like sword, Mo Yuan, remained undamaged and continued to slash at His head and other parts of His body.

Even though the Heavenly Dao God Venerable's wisdom had great flaws, he still felt a great crisis at this moment.

"A body of gods and demons!"

In an instant, Li Yan sensed a sudden change in the body of the Heavenly Dao God.

His divine eyes saw that his body was directly connected to the entire Xuan Tian Secret Realm.

In other words, Li Yan's attack on the Heavenly Dao God's body at this moment is the same as his attack on the entire Xuan Tian Secret Realm.

Such a divine and demonic body possesses an extremely terrifying vitality.

To destroy the Heavenly Dao God, the entire secret realm must first be destroyed.

"The end... Nirvana!"

The Heavenly Dao God began to fight back, and the laws on his body seemed to start burning and began to collapse continuously.

The immense destructive power generated by this seemed to be approaching the limit of the thirteenth order.

Having experienced countless cycles of reincarnation and world destruction, the Heavenly Dao God has reached a terrifying level in his understanding of the Dao of Annihilation.

At this moment, there was an endless power of annihilation surrounding Li Yan, trying to erode his body.

"You do have some skills!"

Li Yan dodged the power of annihilation, a strange glint in his eyes.

The might of this Heavenly Dao God Venerable seems to be even stronger than that of the Golden Netherworld Emperor Venerable.

"However, I am not the same person I used to be!"

A cold glint flashed in Li Yan's eyes.

He was able to kill Emperor Jinming only by relying on the Nameless Sword Box, a supreme treasure of the Origin Realm.

But things are completely different now.

His strength has already undergone a transformation. If the Golden Nether Emperor were to reappear, he could annihilate him by activating the Ink Abyss Sword.

While this Heavenly Dao God Venerable is indeed more powerful than the Golden Netherworld Emperor Venerable.

But... it's the same!
With a thought, the power of the laws accumulated on the Mo Yuan Sword surged dramatically.

Since the Heavenly Dao God Venerable's divine and demonic body has linked himself to the entire secret realm.

Why doesn't he just wipe out the entire Xuan Tian Secret Realm?

A pure sword light appeared on the Mo Yuan Sword, and under the gaze of Li Yan's Sword Dao Divine Eye, it slashed directly towards his body.

"Bang bang bang!"

On the ground of the Xuan Tian Secret Realm, a crack suddenly appeared on his own body.

At the same time, Li Yan's divine eyes saw that some fine lines on the body of the Heavenly Dao God Venerable began to collapse.

His body then began to collapse.

"This is!"

When Emperor Qianyi saw this scene, his pupils contracted slightly.

After the Heavenly Dao God Venerable unleashed his divine and demonic body, he discovered that this Heavenly Dao God Venerable was far more troublesome than he had anticipated.

But when Li Yan's sword fell again, he suddenly realized that he had also underestimated Li Yan's strength.

"boom!"

Li Yan's sword strike completely severed the enemy.

The entire body of the Heavenly Dao God Venerable also collapsed.

His consciousness still wanted to activate the laws and revive once more.

But then it was discovered that the entire Xuan Tian Secret Realm had been destroyed by this one sword strike.

The consciousness of the Heavenly Dao God was born from residing in the Mysterious Heaven Realm.

Now that the Mysterious Heaven Realm has collapsed, His consciousness naturally could not survive either, slowly fading into eternal silence. (End of Chapter)
