After becoming a Dao Lord, Zheng Jun's horizons naturally broadened considerably.

Now, he only needs to glance at them to understand the origins of the 'Great Dao Martial Book' and the 'Book of Sacrifice'.

These two treasures that helped him reach the pinnacle were surrounded by a rich aura of the Heavenly Dao. They were actually Heavenly Dao-level magic weapons, crafted using the Heavenly Dao of a world as their material.

The one who refined it was the previous generation's Lord of the Yama River, an unparalleled powerhouse who attained enlightenment through Buddhism.

The situation then was different from that of today and in the past.

The first Lord of Jambudvipa was the Dragon Lord, who, after attaining enlightenment, ruled over the four realms and held the power of the four Heavenly Daos.

However, the Dragon Lord inexplicably perished in the Outer Heavens, and the Heavenly Dao of the Four Realms was subsequently revived and reborn with intelligence.

For the next ten thousand years, Dao Lords emerged in the Luo Tian Realm, the Caesar Realm, and the Yanfu Realm, and they maintained a balance of power, thus coexisting peacefully.

Even the Xuanhuang Realm, which has no Dao Lord, is preserved because of the checks and balances of the Three Realms, and the Heavenly Dao endures.

Later, the previous generation's Buddhist leader of the Jambudvipa realm wanted to go further, so he used the technique of "emptiness" to travel beyond the realm and find a world far away from the Three Realms. Because the attributes of the Heavenly Dao were different and difficult to refine, he simply used it as a foundation to forge an amazing treasure.

This is the origin of the 'Great Dao Martial Arts Manual'.

With this treasure, the Lord of Yanfu became invincible, overpowering the Lord of Luotian and causing the Lord of Caesar to feel apprehensive.

The latter followed suit, spending three thousand years to find a small world and forge the 'Book of Sacrifice' in order to counter it.

Both Yama and Caesar, the two Dao Lords, possess this treasure; how could Luo Tian possibly fall into the hands of others?
Therefore, the Lord of Luo Tian Dao also prepared to use his supernatural powers to find a small world and refine it into a Heavenly Dao-level treasure in order to contend with the two Dao Lords, Caesar and Yanfu.

However, things didn't go as planned. The three of them went on a trip together, which eventually led to disaster. When they were preparing to build a small world, they attracted the attention of Chaos and triggered a great war. Luo Tian Daozhu was killed by Chaos in the small world group, and the small world group suffered a devastating blow.

Then, a chain reaction was triggered. Due to the great war with Chaos, many worlds outside the boundary were involved. As a result, other Dao Lords from unfamiliar worlds also participated in the war, and the Devouring Beasts also came out in full force.

The war spread far and wide, ultimately resulting in the fall of most Dao Lords and Devouring Beasts, the destruction of countless worlds, and the pursuit of Caesar and the Dao Lords of the Yama and Yama realms to the Three Realms, where they fought a great battle against the Chaos.

The final result was that the Caesar Realm was destroyed by Chaos and turned into ruins. The Dao Lords of the Caesar and Yama Realms perished, and Chaos was severely damaged and fled back to slumber.

This battle reduced everything to ruins. It can be said that in the entire known outer void, there are only seven or eight worlds that can still maintain their boundary walls, and there are no Dao Lords left.

Until now, Zheng Jun has broken through to the Dao Lord level, becoming the only Dao Lord in this known world.

When Caesar and the Lord of Yanfu were killed and perished by Chaos, the 'Great Dao Martial Book' and the 'Book of Devouring' were also damaged. They were swept away by the divine power of the Heavenly Dao and the souls of other worlds, and fell into the Yanfu Realm.

However, after the battle with Chaos exhausted its source, it could only recover in the Qi Sea until Zheng Jun, the third son of Heishan County, recalled his past life, at which point it flickered out.

As for the 'Book of Devouring', it revived a few years earlier than the 'Great Dao Martial Book' and at that time it fell into the hands of Liu Cheng, the Xia Emperor, a member of the Liu Xia royal family who made a living by weaving straw sandals.

"The Void Creatures said that the time of Chaos's revival coincided with the time when I found Caesar's ruins and refined the bronze fragments."

Zheng Jun's eyes darkened slightly as his mind raced: "Back then, I used that broken Heavenly Dao to spy on the battle between Dao Lord Caesar and Chaos. Perhaps it was that moment of spying that startled Chaos and caused it to awaken prematurely."

It seems somewhat bizarre and absurd.

How did watching just a 'video' disturb the Chaos?

That's not actually the case. At the Dao Lord level, if someone were to use supernatural powers in the Black Mountain old territory to spy on one's past life, Zheng Jun, as a Dao Lord, would be able to sense their methods immediately.

Not everyone likes having their past scrutinized.

More importantly, the methods Zheng Jun used were the remnants of the Heavenly Dao of the Caesar Realm, a former adversary and mortal enemy of Chaos.

Chaos holds grudges.

"However, judging by its speed, it doesn't seem to be trying to arrive immediately, which gives me time to take action."

Zheng Jun thought to himself, based on the direction and speed of Chaos's movement, it was clear that Chaos wanted to finish the job in one battle and completely destroy the six or seven worlds it had participated in last time. The fleet of remnants that wanted to attack the Three Realms just now was just like that.

However, it did make Zheng Jun feel somewhat novel.

I wonder what that world was like before it was destroyed by chaos. How did it manage to build an interstellar fleet? Could it be a technologically advanced world?

If it weren't for the fact that the faces of those remnant fleet members didn't resemble humans, Zheng Jun might have let them go.

Zheng Jun stood atop the heavens of the Yanfu Realm, his body radiating Daoist energy, his eyes deep and unfathomable.

Suddenly, a clear and melodious phoenix cry was heard from the sky, and crimson flames swept across the heavens as Zhuohuang arrived, riding on the divine fire of the nine heavens.

Her red robes fluttered, and the flame pattern between her brows shone brightly. After landing, she knelt on one knee, her voice like the clinking of gold and jade: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, on ascending to the position of Dao Lord! I am willing to burn away all the villains of the heavens and bring eternal peace to Your Majesty!"

Before he could say more, the western sea of ​​clouds suddenly parted, and the old man in the straw raincoat, riding the waves, and Shennong, the Venerable One, riding a blue ox, congratulated Zheng Jun together, saying, "Congratulations on Your Majesty's ascension to the Dao Lord position! Your Majesty's divine might is beyond the reach of the Dragon Lord and the Buddha Lord. You are truly the greatest Dao Lord of all time!"

They didn't offer any congratulatory gifts.

After all, the congratulatory gift was meaningless to the Dao Lord. Everything in the Yanfu Realm belonged to Zheng Jun. The so-called gift was just a way of passing on his things to him through someone else.

As the various Dharma Aspects of this realm came to offer their congratulations, Zheng Jun nodded slightly and then said loudly, "You have followed me for many years. Today, as I ascend to the position of Dao Lord, I shall naturally grant you longevity and long life."

Of course, it only means longevity, not immortality.

Although Zheng Jun can now grant immortality, each additional person requires a portion of the Yama Realm's essence to be consumed.

This kind of immortality is not true immortality; it actually binds the lives of all beings to the Jambudvipa world.

Life exists as long as the boundary exists; death occurs when the boundary falls.

Just then, a five-colored glow suddenly appeared in the sky.

Emperor Ziji led four lords from the Luo Tian Realm, breaking through the void as they arrived, their banners fluttering behind them. Upon seeing Zheng Jun, they immediately removed their crowns and bowed their heads, their voices shaking the universe: "A great calamity is imminent, only the Dao Lord can save us. The entire Luo Tian Realm is willing to submit! We are willing to be the vanguard, we beg the Dao Lord to have mercy on all living beings!"

This wasn't the first time Emperor Ziji had pledged allegiance to Zheng Jun. He had knelt in time last time, which was why he had attained the position of Supreme Luo Tian. Now, kneeling again was a piece of cake for him.

Faced with such a sensible offer of allegiance, Zheng Jun couldn't help but nod slightly.

"good."

Zheng Jun nodded, and then without hesitation, he took a step and headed towards the Luo Tian Realm.

At this moment, Zheng Jun was already the Lord of Yanfu Dao, and there was no one else in the Three Realms who could rival him.

Therefore, the next step is naturally to refine the Luo Tian and Xuan Huang realms together and become the supreme Dao Lord of the Three Realms.

If you had to describe Zheng Jun today in one sentence, it would be...

If I do it now, who dares to disobey?
Zheng Jun stepped into the Luo Tian Realm, followed closely by the Purple Great Emperor and his four Dharma Images, all of whom lowered their heads and dared not look directly at his power.

Suddenly, the sky trembled violently, and countless golden chains burst forth from the void. The Heavenly Dao manifested a restrictive net, intending to obstruct the power of this Dao Lord.

This is a sign of Heaven protecting itself, intending to prevent foreign enemies from invading and seizing it.

"How dare you block my way in this mere unclaimed territory?"

A cold glint flashed in Zheng Jun's eyes. With a flick of his sleeves, the power of the Heavenly Dao of Yanfu surged like a tide, condensing into a massive black blade that spanned the heavens and earth, and slashed fiercely down at the golden chains!
The sound of chains snapping reverberated throughout the universe. All beings in the Luo Tian Realm witnessed the sky cracking open, and the sun and moon lost their light. Emperor Ziji and the others trembled on the ground, only hearing Zheng Jun's indifferent voice: "Now that you have submitted to me, the Heavenly Dao of this realm should change hands."

Zheng Jun pressed down with his palm, and the powers of the two Daos of Yanfu and Luotian clashed in the void.

Although Luo Tian's Dao was strong, it was like a rootless duckweed because it had no Dao Lord in charge. It was suppressed by Zheng Jun, who was a Dao Lord, in just three breaths.

The sky gradually turned dark, the mountains and rivers trembled and collapsed, and all the spiritual energy within the realm converged on Zheng Jun, condensing into a crimson gold Dao seed.

Zheng Jun pointed his fingers together as a sword, using the Heavenly Dao of Yanfu as a guide, and forcibly imprinted the Crimson Gold Dao Seed into his soul.

Instantly, all the spirits of the Luo Tian Realm sensed his presence and knelt in his direction.

After finishing, Zheng Jun stopped and stood up, gazing in the direction of the Xuanhuang Realm: "The Xuanhuang Realm is quite interesting."

The Heavenly Dao of the Xuanhuang Realm has survived to this day due to the balance of the Three Realms, and is therefore stronger than the Heavenly Dao of the Yanfu Realm and the Luotian Realm.

Now, we have begun to make ample preparations.

only……

Zheng Jun chuckled lightly: "In the end, they are just low-intelligence creatures, unable to grasp the true essence of the Great Dao."

Once it's prepared, there's nothing it can do about it.

Dreaming.

Without taking a moment's rest, Zheng Jun immediately stepped into the Xuanhuang Realm, and the clouds suddenly split open into a thousand-foot ravine.

Above the Taixu Mountains, 36,000 ancient bronze swords formed a grand array of stars, and the point of their blades was this uninvited guest.

"Dao Lord, halt!"

The Azure Moon Slayer True Monarch shattered the void as he arrived, the golden Heavenly Dao pattern between his brows shining brightly. This sword cultivator, known for his cold and aloof demeanor, was now enveloped in the chaotic purple energy bestowed upon him by the Xuanhuang Realm, which amplified his peak Nascent Soul stage aura to that of a half-step Divine Transformation stage.

The sound of thunderous war drums echoed from the mountaintop. Taixu Yanxing Zhenjun stood at the eye of the formation, holding the Hetu Luoshu. Behind him, star trails intertwined to form a net. Yu Fenxin Yuanjun was even more unusual. His originally fiery red Daoist robe had turned into a dark yellow color. In the natal heart lamp held in his palm, three strands of the Heavenly Dao Origin Fire were dancing.

The three of them had clearly communicated with the Heavenly Dao of the Xuanhuang Realm and were united in their efforts to stop Zheng Jun.

Zheng Jun noticed that golden threads were extending from beneath the feet of the 30,000 sword cultivators of the Taixu Sword Pavilion.

These threads pierce through the earth's veins and reach the heavens, a result of the Xuanhuang Heavenly Dao forcibly infusing power.

The flushed faces and bulging veins of those young disciples were clear signs that their bodies were about to collapse.

"Three Nascent Soul Peak cultivators who were forcibly accelerated to maturity dare to stop me?"

Zheng Jun's eyes were cold as he faced the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Array formed by 30,000 sword cultivators from the Tai Xu Sword Pavilion, a mocking smile playing on his lips.

He simply stood with his hands behind his back, his Daoist aura as deep and boundless as the ocean, even distorting the laws of heaven and earth in the Xuanhuang Realm.

"An ant trying to shake a tree is overestimating its own strength."

Before he finished speaking, Zheng Jun flicked his sleeve, and the power of the Heavenly Dao of Yanfu suddenly erupted.

Above the sky, a colossal black palm spanning tens of thousands of miles materialized out of thin air, carrying the power to suppress all heavens, and fiercely pressed down towards the Taixu Mountains!

"boom--!"

Before the 36,000 ancient bronze swords could even be unleashed, they shattered inch by inch under the immense pressure of the giant hand.

The sword formation collapsed instantly, and the disciples of the Sword Pavilion coughed up blood as their bodies exploded into a bloody mist under the terrifying pressure.

The Azure Moon Slayer True Monarch's eyes were bloodshot, and the golden Heavenly Dao pattern between his brows flickered wildly as he tried to resist with the power of the Xuanhuang Realm's origin. However, his body shattered like porcelain in the next moment, and his soul was destroyed.

The Hetu Luoshu in the hands of Taixu Yanxing Zhenjun exploded with a bang, tearing apart the star orbit net. He staggered backward, and before he could even speak, an invisible Dao principle pierced through his brow, causing him to perish on the spot.

The Primordial Lord of the Burning Heart suffered an even worse fate. The Heavenly Dao Origin Fire within her Natal Heart Lamp backfired on her, instantly reducing her to ashes.

In the blink of an eye, all 30,000 cultivators of the Taixu Sword Pavilion were killed, their blood staining the mountains and rivers!
The Heavenly Dao of the Xuanhuang Realm trembled violently, and an angry roar came from the Nine Heavens. Golden chains, like raging dragons, pierced out from the void, attempting to strangle Zheng Jun.

However, Zheng Jun merely snorted coldly, flipped his palm, and the power of the Heavenly Dao from the Yanfu and Luotian realms intertwined into a net, crushing the golden chains inch by inch.

"You celestial beings always like to conjure chains to capture people, but what use is that to me?"

Zheng Jun took a step forward, and his figure had already reached the center of the Xuanhuang Realm.

There, a dazzling mass of primordial chaos floated in the void, the very core of this realm's Heavenly Dao. Without hesitation, Zheng Jun formed his five fingers into a claw and fiercely grasped at the source.

"Refining!"

The power of the Heavenly Dao from both the Yanfu and Luotian realms surged into the Xuanhuang Origin like a torrent, forcibly suppressing it.

The Xuanhuang Realm changed color, mountains and rivers collapsed, and countless living beings knelt and trembled. Zheng Jun's divine soul shone like the blazing sun, imprinting the Xuanhuang Heavenly Dao into his own Dao Seed bit by bit.

"From this day forward, the Heavenly Dao of the Three Realms shall be entirely under my control!"

As the last trace of the primordial essence was refined, Zheng Jun's aura surged once again, and the laws of the Three Realms submitted beneath his feet.

Zheng Jun stood atop the sky, his gaze sweeping over the shattered Taixu Mountains, and said indifferently, "Those who obey me live, those who defy me perish."

Thus, the three realms of Yanfu, Luotian, and Xuanhuang all fell into Zheng Jun's hands, making him the only supreme Dao Lord to rule over the three realms since the fall of the Dragon Lord!
"Congratulations, Dao Master."

"The Dao Lord is majestic and spirited, with the bearing of a dragon and the grace of a phoenix. I have long believed that the Dao Lord is worthy of proving the Dao!"

"..."

The other Nascent Soul cultivators from the Xuanhuang Realm stepped forward to congratulate Zheng Jun and offered their submission. Of course, it was no use if they were unwilling; Zheng Jun could destroy them with a wave of his hand.

Seeing this, Zheng Jun also breathed a sigh of relief.

All three realms have submitted; now all that remains is for Chaos to come knocking.

but……

"I will inevitably clash with Chaos sooner or later. If the battle takes place within the Three Realms, it will inevitably result in widespread suffering and the devastation caused by the war."

Zheng Jun thought to himself that the competition for Dao Lord at this level could lead to a series of events.

For example, in Xia Shizu's memory, there was the destruction of the Great Yan Dynasty in the Luo Tian Realm.

In the past, Zheng Jun would have had no other choice.

Now that he has a choice, Zheng Jun naturally wouldn't choose to start a war near the Three Realms.

The flames of war must be ignited in another realm. (End of Chapter)
