A person in the heavens, starting with a Chaos Emperor Dao Fruit

Within Black Dragon Mountain, countless demons and monsters were dumbfounded. They saw what appeared to be a second sun in the sky, with endless power of heaven and earth surging towards that "sun." The invisible pressure was already putting immense pressure on these demons and monsters.

This is a terrifying divine power, the majesty of the Heavenly Dao that naturally emanates from Yunhua as she condenses the power of heaven and earth by activating the Fire Path Heavenly Dao.

"This oppressive force... a Dao Ancestor is attacking!" The true god who had been guarding Black Dragon Mountain suddenly realized this and immediately poured in his divine power. With a "hum," a layer of golden light instantly enveloped the mountain.

"Boom!!"

Just then, a sudden clap of thunder rang out, and the "sun" in the sky abruptly transformed into a rainbow of light, instantly landing on the golden shield.

Then, with a flash of light, the protective barrier seemed to have vanished completely, and a large hole was instantly pierced through it, allowing the "sun" to land at the very core of Black Dragon Mountain.

The speed of this turn of events exceeded everyone's expectations.

Arrows are the fastest-attacking weapon of all, and with Yunhua's current strength, his arrows have completely surpassed the limits of the Heavenly Dao.

In the blink of an eye, before anyone could react, an arrow imbued with boundless power of heaven and earth pierced through the golden light shield and struck the true form of Black Dragon Mountain.

Crimson red!

At this moment, all the demons and monsters on Black Dragon Mountain were left with only a crimson glow before their eyes, and all their memories were frozen at this point. This was the last scene they saw, because their bodies and souls had already vanished into thin air.

Not only these demons and monsters, but now the entire Black Dragon Mountain has disappeared, leaving only a huge, bottomless pit emitting black smoke on the ground.

Whether it was the sacred mountain, the demons and monsters within it, or even the true god, all vanished under this arrow.

The power of a single arrow is truly astounding!

"My arrow annihilated tens of thousands of celestial immortals, including many gods and even true gods. This ferocious energy is enough to elevate my Calamity Fire Divine Bow to the next level, reaching the level of an innate spiritual treasure." Yun Hua did not leave Great Xia, but instead sat cross-legged in the void.

He moved his arm, and wisps of lines appeared between his fingers. Divine runes began to rapidly form in the void, and then were imprinted onto the Calamity Fire Divine Bow with a resounding boom—

"Om!"

In an instant, he condensed the scattered and ferocious energy in the world, and countless strands of ferocity transformed into wisps of light that converged on his Calamity Fire Divine Bow.

"Boom!!"

In that instant, the immense ferocious energy continuously condensed, eventually transforming into red and black flames that completely enveloped the entire Calamity Fire Divine Bow, continuously tempering it. Gradually, a terrifying power began to gestate within the bow, as if a ferocious god was about to be born.

This is the method Ji Ning provided—the tempering method for the Divine Weapon of Sin. It involves absorbing endless malevolent energy and sin, and then continuously upgrading one's divine weapon.

Once a divine weapon is upgraded to a certain level, it will give birth to a magical spirit, possessing its own life. The ferocious spirit on the Cloud Flower Calamity Fire Divine Bow is the magical spirit about to be born.

"My Calamity Fire Divine Bow was originally just a low-grade magic weapon with mediocre materials, so I'll take this opportunity to enhance it." With a wave of his hand, Yun Hua took out a lot of materials, fused them with flames, dripped his own blood on them, and finally integrated them into the Calamity Fire Divine Bow.

These materials are all top-tier materials capable of refining pure Yang magic treasures, such as Crimson Fire Divine Jade, Refined Fire Bronze, Five-Colored Divine Stone, Nine-Flame Elixir, Phoenix Feather Silk, Flood Dragon Tendon, and many other materials.

Yunhua took the opportunity to refine one piece of divine material after another into his Calamity Fire Divine Bow.

Yunhua continuously moved his arms, constantly absorbing enormous malevolent energy and sins, which he then refined into the Calamity Fire Divine Bow.

He spent half a day practicing here, and all the fierce and sinful aura in the sky dissipated, and the brand-new Calamity Fire Divine Bow appeared in Yunhua's palm.

The bow's shape remained unchanged, but its surface was now covered with red and black, flame-like patterns. The most striking feature was that the bow's aura was extremely terrifying. Even weak cultivators who approached the bow were likely to have their souls weakened by the killing intent emanating from it.

"The ferocity and sins are not enough; we may need to visit a few more of the Wujian Sect's strongholds."

Yun Hua murmured to himself, then turned to look at a spot in the void and asked, "Could you please tell me where your other strongholds are?"

As Yunhua spoke, the power of heaven and earth condensed in the void, eventually forming a figure shrouded in a black robe.

Yunhua looked at the figure. The Crimson Bright Dao Ancestor had mentioned it to him before, so Yunhua recognized him as the "God King" of the Boundless Sect. Of course, what appeared before him now was merely the God King's avatar.

However, even though it was just an avatar, this person still carried a strong eerie aura. His eyes seemed to be made entirely of condensed mist, and every change in the mist seemed to stir the deepest parts of people's hearts.

This person is also a disciple of the Lord of the Inner Demons of the Wujian Sect.

"God of Calamity Fire, what are you going to do?" The black-robed god-king looked at Yun Hua.

Yunhua said leisurely, "Are you blind? Can't you see I'm using your subordinates to forge weapons?"

"Of course I know you're refining weapons."

The black-robed god-king remained calm and showed no sign of tension. He did not express anger for his fallen subordinates. He said indifferently, "However, my Wujian Sect has never offended you. Why are you attacking us?"

Chapter 1040 Winning Over

"Neither you nor your disciple Ji Ning, our Wujian Sect has ever attacked you. Why are you helping Nuwa's camp against us?"

The black-robed god-king continued, "Instead of helping Nuwa's camp, you should join our side; once you join us, you will immediately become one of our high-ranking members. All the resources, techniques, and scriptures of our Wujian Sect will be at your disposal for you and your disciples to view."

"You should know that even when Nuwa broke through to the 'Pangu God' realm, she couldn't completely eradicate our Wujian Sect. Our Wujian Sect's foundation far exceeds your imagination. Nuwa's camp didn't give you any real foundation or scriptures, did it?"

"As for the Great Xia stronghold that you destroyed, we can let it go. The loss of a mere stronghold is something our Wujian Sect can afford."

As the black-robed god-king spoke, his misty eyes fixed on Yunhua, he invited Yunhua to join him.

It must be said that the Black-Robed God King is indeed magnanimous. He was willing to wipe out the fact that Yun Hua had destroyed one of their strongholds and killed so many powerful people.

In his view, as long as he could bring Yunhua on board, it would all be worth it.

Moreover, he had a keen eye and immediately saw that Yunhua's strength had nothing to do with Nuwa's camp and could not have been created by Nuwa's camp.

In fact, ever since Ji Ning's sudden emergence, the Black-Robed God King had investigated his master, Yun Hua. According to their investigation by the Wujian Sect, although Yun Hua nominally belonged to Nuwa's camp, he had never received any significant benefits from it.

Moreover, it seems that Nuwa's camp has been searching for him for the past few hundred years. This news further confirms to the Wujian Sect that Yunhua was probably not raised by Nuwa's camp.

"Om!"

Just then, the space not far from Yunhua suddenly distorted, and then two figures walked out of the void together.

One of them was the Crimson Bright Dao Ancestor, whom Yun Hua was very familiar with; the other was a thin old man with white hair and beard, wearing a loose Daoist robe. What caught Yun Hua's attention the most was that this man had a faint power of spacetime on him, making him look unfathomable.

"Fellow Daoist Jie Huo is originally one of our Nuwa camp, yet your Wujian Sect still uses such despicable methods to win people over!!" Dao Ancestor Chi Ming stared at the black-robed God King and sneered.

"Indeed, when it comes to foundation, how can your Wujian Sect compare to our Nuwa camp? Our Nuwa camp has produced Nuwa herself, who reached the level of 'Pangu God.' What does the Wujian Sect have?"

"The King of Ten Thousand Demons who was beaten to a pulp by Nuwa? Or the Lord of the Heart Demon who was forced to merge with the Heavenly Dao against his will?" The white-haired old man sneered.

As he spoke, the white-haired old man looked at Yunhua and said, "Fellow Daoist Jiehuo, I am Bodhi. Fellow Daoist, you have advanced to the leader level too quickly, and I haven't had time to introduce you to the great powers of our Nuwa camp."

Once this matter is settled, feel free to visit my temple. I will invite some fellow practitioners to meet you there.

Clearly, faced with the black-robed god-king's explanation, they couldn't resist coming out to snatch him away.

Yunhua looked at the newly appeared Bodhi Dao Ancestor and was speechless.

If it weren't for the Wujian Sect extending an olive branch to him, Bodhi Daozu might not have come to see him so soon.

"Actually, Nuwa's camp didn't consider me one of their own from the beginning!" Yunhua understood.

What kind of treatment did Ji Ning receive at the Heavenly God stage in the original novel, and what kind of treatment did I receive? It's obvious!

However, this is normal. Even Yunhua himself, even within the same organization, prefers to cultivate his own loyal followers rather than others.

Seeing that Yunhua remained silent, the black-robed god-king continued, "What are you still hesitating about? Does the Nuwa camp really consider you one of their own? Before you 'disappeared,' did they focus on nurturing you or provide you with any resources for cultivation?"

"You were just nominally in Nuwa's camp before. Now they're only coming here because they see you've become stronger, hoping you'll officially join them."

The black-robed god-king's words were highly inflammatory, and some hot-headed cultivators would easily be swayed by them.

Yunhua glanced at the black-robed god-king, speechless.

It's as if you don't care about my abilities and genuinely want to accept me.

However, Bodhi Dao Ancestor and Chiming Dao Ancestor's expressions instantly turned cold, glaring at the black-robed God King, exuding an aura that they would destroy his avatar at the slightest provocation.

The black-robed god-king stood leisurely to the side, completely ignoring Bodhi and the Crimson Bright Dao Ancestor, his gaze fixed on Yun Hua, hoping to hear his answer.

"I'd like to ask, what exactly is the grudge between the Wujian Sect and the Nuwa camp that makes them so determined to fight to the death?" Yunhua looked at both sides and suddenly asked.

Chi Ming Dao Ancestor frowned, looked at Yun Hua, and said, "You have already comprehended the Fire Element Heavenly Dao and become a Dao Ancestor. You should have some understanding of destiny in the dark."

Although his time as a Dao Ancestor was short, he should have sensed the inevitable fate: one side, either us or the Boundless Sect, would be annihilated.

"Only one of our Nuwa camp or the Wujianmen camp can survive. Only when one side is wiped out can the other side have a chance to live," Bodhi Daozu continued.

At this moment, the black-robed god-king on the other side also nodded and said, "In fact, in ancient times, our Wujian Sect had already negotiated with Nuwa's camp to coexist peacefully; but recently, fate showed that only one side of us could survive, otherwise why would we fight to the death?"

"Although we don't know what fate is like, or why fate gives us such a warning, those who go against fate never have a good ending."

Clearly, both the Wujianmen faction and Nuwa's camp had unwavering faith in the warnings of fate, firmly believing that this was definitely the future.

Yunhua said, "I have another question. Do you believe in the Dao you have comprehended, in the weapons you wield, or do you believe in some so-called destiny?"

“Fate cannot be defied. Even a god as powerful as Pangu was born with the destiny to create the world. So he was born with the Pangu Axe in his hand, creating the world, and in the end, he even sacrificed his life to perish.” Chiming Daozu sighed.

“Fellow Daoist Jiehuo, although you are powerful, you have only been comprehending the Dao of Heaven for a short time. The deeper your understanding of the Dao of Heaven becomes, the more you will understand destiny,” said Bodhi Dao Ancestor softly.

"A deeper understanding of the Dao?" Yunhua smiled, then a thought struck him—

"Om!"

In an instant, the yang energy surged between heaven and earth, heat waves rose, and golden rays filled the sky. A terrifying aura of the Heavenly Dao descended upon Yunhua. At that moment, all cultivators in the world who had comprehended the Heavenly Dao of Yang felt it and looked towards the Great Xia World, towards Yunhua.

The Crimson Bright Dao Ancestor, the Bodhi Dao Ancestor, and the God King, who were standing to the side, also stared at Yun Hua in astonishment.

"Yang...the Heavenly Dao of Yang!?" The three looked at Yunhua in shock.

They were not only astonished that Yunhua had first comprehended the Heavenly Dao of Fire, but also, in such a short time, had now comprehended the Heavenly Dao of Yang.

Chapter 1041 Enlightenment in an Instant

What shocked them even more was that the other party seemed to be able to comprehend things at will, without needing any time or even facing any bottlenecks.

“I have comprehended both the Heavenly Dao of Fire and the Heavenly Dao of Yang. Do you think my understanding of the Heavenly Dao is deep enough?” Yunhua looked at the three of them.

Yunhua had already grasped most of the Yin Heavenly Dao and Yang Heavenly Dao, and could break through at any time, but his mind was not on it before.

Moreover, comprehending so many Heavenly Daos wouldn't be of much use to him. Because the more Heavenly Daos a cultivator comprehends, the more Chaos Heavenly Daos they can comprehend.

This is crucial for cultivators who follow the Chaos Heavenly Path to become World Gods or Chaos Immortals, but it is of little use to Yunhua.

However, before Bodhi and the others could speak, Yunhua continued, "If the Heavenly Dao of Yang is not enough, then how about adding this?"

"Boom!!"

In an instant, the Heavenly Dao descended once more. This time, the world was filled with icy cold, and a chilling, sinister aura descended, revealing the Yin Heavenly Dao at this moment.

In an instant, everyone was stunned. He had actually comprehended another Heavenly Dao, and it was the Yin Heavenly Dao, which was the opposite of the previous Yang Heavenly Dao.

"To comprehend both the Yin and Yang Heavenly Dao in a single day? This... only the Goddess Nuwa could have accomplished such a feat!"

"How could this be? How could his comprehension be so strong?"

All the Dao Ancestors who witnessed this scene were shocked. To comprehend two great Heavenly Daos in a single day, and two completely opposite ones at that, was simply too unbelievable.

You must understand that in these Three Realms, once you have comprehended one Heavenly Dao, the difficulty of comprehending the opposite Heavenly Dao increases many times over.

For example, if someone who has comprehended the Heavenly Way of Yang wants to comprehend the Heavenly Way of Yin, they will be strongly influenced by the original Heavenly Way of Yang, making it almost impossible for them to comprehend it.

The Three Realms have existed for so many years, and apart from the Goddess Nuwa and Fuxi, one of the Three Sovereigns of the Human Race, all other cultivators who comprehended the opposing Heavenly Dao have adopted the same method: suicide and reincarnation to gamble.

At the moment of suicide, one sets a restriction on one's true spirit, then reincarnates and begins cultivation from scratch. Only in this way can one avoid the influence of the opposing Heavenly Dao and thus cultivate the opposing Heavenly Dao. Afterwards, the restriction is lifted, memories are restored, and one naturally possesses both opposing Heavenly Daos.

“Fellow Daoist Jiehuo, you…you…” Bodhi’s eyes widened, wanting to speak, but he didn’t know how to say it.

The Crimson Bright Dao Ancestor, who was standing to the side, was speechless; as for the black-robed God King, his calm expression had vanished, replaced by a look of shock and panic.

"Is it because you haven't grasped the Dao of Heaven enough?" Yun Hua chuckled. "Then please wait a moment!"

"Om!"

In an instant, the Heavenly Dao descended once more, this time with the Heavenly Dao of Life and the Heavenly Dao of Destruction descending simultaneously.

As a phoenix capable of rebirth, Yunhua possesses a profound understanding of life and death, especially after her previous rebirth, which gave her a completely new understanding of life and destruction.

Now, it is only natural and effortless for me to upgrade my understanding of life and death to the Heavenly Way of Life and the Heavenly Way of Destruction.

In that instant, the three realms fell completely silent.

All the true gods and Dao Ancestors stared in awe at the Great Xia World, at Yunhua standing proudly in the void.

Yin, Yang, birth, and death—the four great principles of the universe—if one could fully comprehend them in a single day, would one still be human?

"The Heavenly Dao of Yang, the Heavenly Dao of Yin, the Heavenly Dao of Life, the Heavenly Dao of Destruction, plus the Heavenly Dao of Fire that I comprehended before... Fellow Daoist of Calamity Fire, you are unparalleled in the Three Realms, Bodhi admires you!" After a long while, Bodhi Dao Ancestor looked at Yunhua with admiration.

To comprehend the Four Heavenly Daos in a single day—such an achievement was something even the goddess Nuwa herself never accomplished.

"In the Three Realms today, when it comes to understanding the Dao, Fellow Daoist is undoubtedly the number one. Even Nuwa, before her breakthrough, might not have been able to match you," the Crimson Bright Dao Ancestor exclaimed.

"So, you should have nothing to say about my understanding of the Dao of Heaven, right?" Yunhua smiled.

"Fellow Daoist's talent is unparalleled. I have lived for countless years in vain. I am truly ashamed!" Bodhi Dao Ancestor and Chiming Dao Ancestor shook their heads, their faces showing a sense of dejection.
