Chapter 391 The Great Sacrifice of Heavenly Dao, the Purple Fiend Dao Sect, and Ancient Powerful Beings

"You have hindered my path to enlightenment, and a tremendous karmic bond has been formed between us. This great calamity will settle all past karma, and the karma between us will naturally come to an end as well."

"I want to kill you, but not your avatar. This is just a way of saying hello. When the Heavenly Realm opens in the future, only one of us will be able to sit in the Heavenly Realm."

Upon hearing the words "Heaven Above Heaven," a cold glint flashed in the eyes of Emperor Zhexuan. With a smirk, Emperor Zhexuan looked at Taiwei and said coldly, "You seem quite confident. I just hope you don't fail to even surpass the Nine-Nine Heavenly Steps."

"You don't need to worry about that. Your karma has already been locked by me, so don't even think about running away. You are a sacrifice I specially prepared for the Heavenly Dao Grand Sacrifice."

Taiwei glanced at Zhexuan Heavenly Emperor, a cold smile on his lips, and his figure transformed into a long rainbow, disappearing into the wind and rain.

"The Heavenly Dao Grand Ceremony? Do you also want to monopolize the destiny of an entire realm and attain enlightenment?"

Zhe Xuantian Emperor watched Taiwei leave. Although his heart was filled with anger, he did not choose to make a move. With only the body of the Dragon Ancestor that he had temporarily possessed, he was no match for Taiwei. This once insignificant Azure Emperor had become extremely terrifying after his return.

As the first Heavenly Emperor of the Zhexuan Great Heaven and Earth, the Zhexuan Heavenly Emperor was able to sense the extremely mysterious and terrifying power within Taiwei's body, a power that even he could not fathom.

"The five of you are also the best sacrifices I chose for the Heavenly Dao..."

After leaving the vast ocean, Taiwei originally intended to find another powerful clan, the Fenglin Clan, with whom the five of them had formed a karmic bond. However, halfway there, Taitong's aura suddenly appeared at the location of the Fenglin Clan.

Looking at the surging Qingling Heavenly Sea in the distance, Taiwei shook his head, turned and left. Since the Yellow Emperor had chosen the Phoenix and Lin clan to settle the karma, there was no need for him to take action. As for whether Taitong could defeat Zhexuan's incarnation, that was none of Taiwei's business.

There will only be one victor in this great calamity, and Taiwei has no intention of giving up this position of Hunyuan Daluo Daojun to anyone else.

Sword light crisscrossed, tearing the gloomy sky in two by the sword light of Taiwei's incarnation. Amidst the collapse of the rolling sea of ​​clouds, Taiwei had already descended upon the ancestral temple of the Ziji Dao Sect, one of the ten righteous sects of the Zhexuan Great Heaven and Earth.

The ten mountains evolved into the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, and countless primordial magnetic forces were drawn and transformed by the ten divine mountains. After being reversed and sublimated through numerous grand formations, they transformed into a vast and pure essence of thunder.

The Ziji Dao Sect is the only sect among the ten righteous sects of the Zhexuan Great Heaven and Earth that mainly cultivates thunder magic. It is also an extremely ancient sect, even dating back to the Third Era. It is a righteous sect that destroyed the Qingdi lineage.

Although the Azure Emperor died at the end of the Second Era, a lineage of his Daoist teachings was passed down to the Third Era.

In the past, during the peak of the Azure Emperor's reign, there was a disciple named Qingya. Although he was of mediocre talent and perished even before the Azure Emperor, the Qinghua Sect he founded became a renowned sect in the early Third Era.

Relying on the thirteen chapters of the "Taihua Nine Heavens Azure Thunder Great Book" passed down by the Azure Emperor, the Qinghua Sect became the most prestigious sect at the time, with no fewer than 100,000 disciples.

Unfortunately, the world changed drastically in the Third Era. Tianyao Zichen led the Eight Tribes of Tianyao to rise up, first killing the Shenjiao Clan, and then forcing most of the Fenglin Tribe to flee overseas.

At that time, the ten righteous sects joined forces to fight against the eight demons. The Qinghua Sect was the first to bear the brunt and severely injured the demon Zichen. However, its own sect leader and three elders were all killed by Zichen. As a result, the Qinghua Sect fell into decline and withdrew from the ten righteous sects.

However, just after the Heavenly Demon Zi Chen was killed by the remaining Dao-proving sects, the Zi Ji Dao Sect, which was also a righteous sect, announced that it would protect the Qinghua Sect's heritage and sent three hundred elite disciples to forcibly occupy the Qinghua Sect's mountain gate.

Although the Qinghua Sect resisted the Ziji Dao Sect's entry, its strength at the time was naturally insufficient to resist the rising power of the Ziji Dao Sect. In the end, the Ziji Dao Sect secretly seized all the power of the Qinghua Sect, rendering the Qinghua Sect a mere shell of its former self.

All thirteen volumes of the "Taihua Nine Heavens Azure Thunder Great Book" passed down by the Azure Emperor fell into the hands of the Ziji Dao Sect, completing the Ziji Dao Sect's supreme inheritance, the "Heavenly Purple Qi Thunder Crystal True Method".

Taiwei is now the Azure Emperor of the Zhexuan Great World. The Qinghua Sect was swallowed up and destroyed by the Ziji Dao Sect, so Taiwei naturally wants to avenge his worthless disciple.

The moment Taiwei descended, Tian Shuzi, the sect leader of Ziji Dao Sect, and the two elders felt the vast and boundless sword light completely cover the Ten Directions Thunder Mountain.

Tian Shuzi frowned, sighing inwardly. He could not deny the evil deeds committed by his ancestors. It was indeed the work of their Ziji Dao Sect ancestors who had seized the inheritance of others. He had already foreseen this scene when the Azure Emperor was reborn.

Tian Shuzi stepped forward and arrived at the top of the Ten Directions Thunder Mountain. He bowed to Taiwei, whose face was indifferent, and said, "I already know the purpose of the Azure Emperor's trip. Although the sect's actions were wrong, neither you, Azure Emperor, nor I can change what has happened in the past."

"As the sect leader, I have an unshirkable responsibility to protect the sect's heritage. This battle is inevitable. I only hope that after this battle, no matter what the outcome, the cause and effect between my Ziji Dao Sect and the Azure Emperor can be resolved."

Taiwei looked at Tian Shuzi in front of him and nodded indifferently: "Alright."

"This humble Taoist thanks the Heavenly Emperor."

Tian Shuzi bowed to Taiwei again, his expression instantly becoming righteous and awe-inspiring. With a loud shout, the Ten Directions Thunder Mountain beneath Tian Shuzi's feet trembled violently, and countless bolts of lightning formed layers of purple thunder magic realms on the ten mountains.

A purple light shimmered, thunder roared and lightning flashed, and the deafening sound of thunder instantly shattered the invisible sword realm laid out by Taiwei, spreading in all directions and enveloping the eight extremes.

Tian Shuzi and the two elders of the Zi Ji Dao Sect flew into the Purple Qi Thunder Dharma Realm together. The endless purple qi around them transformed into Purple Qi Righteous Dharma Divine Thunder that spread throughout the ten directions of heaven and earth and exhausted the changes of yin and yang, purity and turbidity.

The three powerful beings at the Heavenly Emperor realm joined forces to bring the "Heavenly Purple Qi Thunder Crystal True Method" of the Purple Fiend Dao Sect to its ultimate expression. Even the sword light flashing around Taiwei was partially extinguished by the countless purple qi thunder lights.

"Azure Emperor, please enlighten me!"

Within the Thunderous Dharma Realm, the thunderous roar of Tian Shuzi, like the voice of the Heavenly Dao, resounded. Thousands upon thousands of purple Qi Orthodox Dharma Divine Thunders fell like billions of meteors, carrying an aura of exquisite beauty, brilliance, and danger as they swept across the sky, shattering all phenomena and spiritual energy along their path.

"The great book created by Zijing is quite good. No wonder it can replace the position of Qinghua Sect. However, all the thunder techniques of the Zhexuan Great World originated from me. You use thunder techniques to deal with me. Do you think that your Ziji Dao Sect's great book has surpassed mine?"

In Taiwei's eyes, countless cyan lightning flashed and exploded. The Nine Heavens Great Thunder Mantra rose with nine layers of divine thunder. Countless cyan electric currents transformed into a torrent that shattered thousands of purple qi orthodox divine thunders and rushed into the purple qi thunderous realm.

The purple and cyan colors collided and exploded continuously. Countless cyan lightning bolts shattered inch by inch under the roar of the purple aura. The purple aura thunderous magic realm evolved by Tian Shuzi and the other two was also continuously destroyed under the bombardment of the Taiwei Nine Heavens Great Thunder Curse.

Two-colored lightning bolts collided and exploded in the sky. As Taiwei's sword finger fell, the lightning gathered into a towering green bamboo that rose in the Purple Qi Thunder Dharma Realm. The branches and leaves, covered with countless lightning patterns, continued to spread and tear apart. The Purple Qi Thunder Dharma Realm slowly shattered and collapsed under the penetration of the towering green bamboo.

Thousands of azure electric currents crashed down, and Tian Shuzi and the other two turned pale. The vast and boundless Purple Qi Thunder Dharma Realm was completely shattered by the azure lightning currents.

Amidst the deafening roar of thunder, the two Supreme Elders behind Tian Shuzi were reduced to dust in the surging lightning before they could even utter a scream.

The jade chime above Tian Shuzi's head struck with a metallic sound, barely blocking the countless exploding lightning bolts around him. However, the shattering of the Purple Qi Thunder Dharma Realm already indicated that the Purple Ji Dao Sect had been defeated this time.

Taiwei looked at Tian Shuzi, who was surrounded by countless blue electric currents, and with a flick of his sword, thousands of blue lightning bolts contracted into a single beam, piercing through Tian Shuzi's ancestral temple between his eyebrows.

Taiwei looked indifferently at Tian Shuzi, who was smiling bitterly and had no breath left. He slashed with his sword finger, and thousands of blue lightning bolts transformed into a sword light that reached the sky and swallowed the Ten Directions Thunder Mountain below.

The earth roared and shattered, mountains collapsed and crumbled, and a violent torrent of lightning annihilated all the disciples of the Purple Strike Dao Sect.

A soft sound rang in Taiwei's heart, and the cause and effect between the Azure Emperor and the Purple Annihilation Dao Sect was thus severed.

However, Taiwei could sense that Tian Shuzi had already sent away some of the disciples of the Ziji Dao Sect before the great battle with him. Taiwei did not care about this. The cause and effect had been settled, and it was no longer important whether the Ziji Dao Sect was completely destroyed.

First, he annihilated the True Dragon Clan, and then he destroyed the Purple Fiend Dao Sect, one of the ten righteous sects. The actions of the Azure Emperor have caused many powerful forces in the Zhexuan Great World to be filled with fear.

Rumor has it that the gentle-natured Azure Emperor has been extremely ruthless this time. This has shocked not only the beings of the Ochre Profound World, but also the other White Emperors, Black Emperors, and others, who were surprised by Taiwei's decisive and ruthless actions.

Taiwei naturally didn't care about the outside world's evaluation of him; he was determined to become a Primordial Great Luo Dao Lord during this calamity.

Only by becoming a resident of the Heavenly Realm and initiating the Great Sacrifice of Heaven can he weaken the will of Heaven of the Ochre Profound Great World, and with the help of both inside and outside forces, use the Limitless Balanced Heaven to devour the origin of Heaven's Dao of this Ochre Profound Great World.

Although Taiwei did not actively participate in the destruction of the True Dragon Clan, it was Taiwei's appearance that led to the clan's demise.

Therefore, after the collapse of the True Dragon Clan, 70% of its fortune fell to Taiwei. In addition, the destruction of the Ziji Dao Sect also caused the fortune of this righteous sect to fall entirely to Taiwei.

Driven by the surging fortune, Taiwei's realm did not improve much, but at this moment, Taiwei saw part of the unfolding scene of the great calamity of the Zhexuan world.

At this moment, even Taiwei, with his profound cultivation, couldn't help but feel a jolt in his heart. This catastrophe was indeed unprecedented, no less severe than the first calamity in the Zhexuan Great World that wiped out all living beings.

After this calamity, ninety-nine percent of the living beings in the Zhexuan Great World will likely be wiped out, and all their karma and fortune will be seized by the ultimate victor, transforming into the first Heavenly Lord Dao Fruit in the history of the Zhexuan Great World.

Having reached this level of cultivation, Taiwei had also roughly understood the history of the Zhexuan Great World.

The Great Heaven and Earth of Ochre and Profound was not created by the Heavenly Emperor Ochre and Profound. Rather, the Heavenly Emperor Ochre and Profound was the first Great Destiny Being to evolve from the Heavenly Dao Origin of the Great Heaven and Earth of Ochre and Profound.

Originally, the Heavenly Dao intended to elevate Zhe Xuan Heavenly Emperor to become the first Supreme Heavenly Lord of this realm. Unfortunately, things are unpredictable. In the first era, Zhe Xuan Heavenly Emperor attempted to reach the Heavenly Lord realm before his cultivation had reached its limit, which damaged his foundation and caused his cultivation to decline.

Afterwards, Emperor Zhexuan fought several top-level powerful beings, including Emperor Yemo and Emperor Cangtian, which further aggravated his injuries, and his foundation suffered incurable damage.

In the end, Zhe Xuan was no longer able to advance to the Heavenly Lord realm. He could only rely on the Five Directions Divine Stele to actively transform into the Dao, gathering countless resentful and malevolent energies from the First Era, and thus lived a second life, which was to become the Supreme Heavenly Demon Ancestor Li Zi.

As the heavens evolve and calamity descends, many powerful beings from the righteous and demonic paths of the Zhexuan Great World have begun to appear one after another. The powerful beings who once blocked the path of the Zhexuan Dao Lord and the protagonists of several subsequent eras of calamity have also been reborn and appeared in the present Zhexuan Great World.

Huangdi Taitong killed Fengmingzi, the current ruler of Fenglin, but was forced to retreat by the Liling clan that suddenly appeared afterward.

With the help of the Green Serpent King, one of the seven great demon kings, Tianyao Zichen has been resurrected and reorganized the eight demon factions. He then engages in a standoff and great battle with the righteous Qiankun Dao Sect, the Heavenly God Sect, and the Ciyi Palace.

The Supreme Heavenly Demon Ancestor Li Zi appeared in the Western Lin Sea and killed Li Ling Shi, who had just forced back the Yellow Emperor Tai Dong. The appearance of this Heavenly Demon Ancestor excited the Thirteen Demon Palaces of the Demonic Path. The Thirteen Demon Palaces of the Demonic Path traced their origins back to the lineage passed down by the Supreme Heavenly Demon Ancestor.

The appearance of this Heavenly Demon Ancestor has shown the Demon Palace leaders the possibility of the rise of the demonic path and its suppression of the righteous path. These thirteen Demon Palace leaders are preparing to use the power of the Heavenly Demon Ancestor Li Zi to fight against the Demon Lord Tian Ya Zi, who has now unified the demonic path.

The ancient colossal spirit has reappeared in the world. It is from the same era as the Zhe Xuan Heavenly Emperor. The master of the colossal spirit, Ye Mo Tian Zi, who once fought a great battle with the Zhe Xuan Heavenly Emperor, severely injured the Black Emperor Yin Yi and his power dominated the far north.

Hundreds of major clans were slaughtered by the Night Demon Emperor. The Night Demon Palace stretched across the sky, destroying the Killing Heaven Demon Palace and the Reincarnation Demon Palace, two of the thirteen demon palaces.

In the Great Sea, ten thousand streams of true fire erupted. Yan Huang Daozhu, who had nearly destroyed the ten righteous sects in the Fifth Era, reappeared. Hundreds of streams of true fire swept across the heavens and earth, and the Pure Yang Dao Sect and Qingming Sword Sect among the ten righteous sects were destroyed by Yan Huang Daozhu.

It wasn't until the Crimson Emperor Zhu Ye descended and used the Southern Crimson Phoenix Heavenly Ash Divine Light he possessed to suppress the arrogance of the Flame Emperor Dao Lord that this lawless Dao Lord was finally stopped.

In just a short span of a thousand years, one after another, powerful figures who would be considered dominant in the long history of the Zhexuan Great World have emerged.
