Chapter 1 That Was...

An Qi Sheng's gaze sharpened as he recognized the great demon standing atop the mountain in that expanse of space-time.

Huangtian Ten Fiends, Hui.

Or rather, Qi Cun.

His guide to entering this world in a dream was this most ferocious poison dragon among the Huangtian Ten Fiends.

A sense of crisis arose in his heart, along with a surge of emotion: "Tracing back to the source..."

He had seen similar records in the Star Lord's 'Universe Three Thousand Slaughter Dao Diagram.'

Those who reach the Dao Extreme permeate a world with their Dao, transcending fixed space-time, and can freely roam through space-time.

They can also use this method to kill their enemies in their youth.

This is the means by which great powers in the Dao Extreme realm contend. Those who have not reached this realm have no possibility of interfering.

However...

Surrounded by the misty Dao light, An Qi Sheng calmed down. He looked inward and saw two beams of light intertwined in his heart sea.

They ceaselessly devoured and collided, scattering fragments of light that transformed into torrents of information, which he gradually digested.

The Da Dao Ji Heavenly Book is a supreme treasure, a book of enlightenment. Its imprints span ancient and modern times, like a book of epochs, of immeasurable value.

More importantly, it is not a saint, and will not be like the Great自在[zì zài] Demon Lord's imprint, which is impossible to digest.

.......

Rumble!

The tremors above the long river were endless, radiating through all space-time, causing everything to shake.

Above the dome of the sky, the void trembled. On the earth, mountains quaked, and all things were in endless fear.

Among the Northern Majestic Mountains, a glimmering light appeared, and within it, the Zhulong traveler, pale and bloodless, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and struggled to stand up.

Looking at the sky shrouded in darkness, Zhulong took a deep breath and caught the 'Investiture of the Gods Decree.' It was this scroll that had protected him.

"Heaven collapses and earth shatters, all things are like ants..."

Surrounding his surroundings, the Zhulong traveler's body trembled, his face filled with fear.

At this moment, this world was in a state of great upheaval. The darkness brought by that extremely terrifying sonic wave seemed to envelop the heavens and the earth.

Within it, anyone and anything with spiritual energy was decaying and declining at an unimaginable rate.

Such a divine power was enough to make any cultivator shudder in terror, and Zhulong was no exception.

"Such a divine power..."

Looking at the decree glowing with purple light in his palm, a struggle flashed in Zhulong's heart, wondering if he should continue.

But the struggle was only momentary. He made up his mind, turned around, and, guided by the fluorescent decree, walked towards the collapsing mountains.

Whoosh~

Among the mountains, wind and thunder shook, and countless birds and beasts lay prostrate, whimpering and trembling.

The mountains were collapsing. Losing the support of spiritual energy, the more spiritual the sacred mountain, the more severely it was damaged. Ordinary peaks, on the other hand, were less affected.

The Northern Majestic Mountains were a gathering place for demons and monsters. Although they were said to be harsh mountains and waters, the spiritual energy within them was abundant. Enveloped by this sonic wave, everything was collapsing.

Zhulong gritted his teeth, forcing himself not to sense the terrifying aura between heaven and earth. In the end, he simply closed his eyes and moved forward following the guidance.

Buzz~

In a moment, his mind suddenly恍惚[huǎng hū], and he noticed the changes in the outside world.

"Hmm?!"

Zhulong's heart jolted. He felt that the terrifying aura outside seemed to be isolated by an invisible barrier. Although it was still faintly perceptible, it no longer seemed so terrifying.

He relaxed his mind slightly and looked around. He felt that this place was empty, like the emptiness of the starry sky. The spiritual energy was so thin that it was almost impossible to sense.

There were only scattered points of light.

Zhulong could see clearly that beneath the empty void, there were complex and terrifying Dao lines.

The Dao lines were all complete, with the Dao essence of thunder circulating on them. Interwoven horizontally and vertically, they formed a huge net encompassing the starry sea.

"This is, the Daoist Nine Heavens Net..."

Zhulong murmured, taking two steps back, feeling his scalp tingling.

The heavenly net is vast, but nothing escapes it.

Between heaven and earth, there are only two heavenly nets. One belongs to the Divine Court, the convergence of the authority of the gods covering all realms of heaven and earth.

The second belongs to the Daoist sect.

According to legend, it was transformed by the nine thunders from the beginning of heaven and earth, referring to the authority of heaven, the Nine Heavens Thunder Net that punishes on behalf of heaven!

This place is clearly the latter.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh~

This was originally a place of absolute silence, but with Zhulong's sudden entry, the sound of wind gradually rose.

It was like the whispers of immortals and Buddhas, the weeping of ghosts and gods, making people feel cold at heart.

"Time flies by, seventy thousand years have passed in a flash..."

Amidst the whistling wind, an old and melancholy voice echoed from the void.

Whoosh!

At the moment of the sound wave's fluctuation, a crimson-gold divine light lit up like the sun, filling the entire void.

As the light spread, this void instantly boiled.

Zhulong's heart trembled. He looked up and saw an ancient Dao platform rising slowly amidst the crimson-gold divine light.

Above the Dao platform, in the divine light, a Daoist priest slowly raised his head, as if surveying the surrounding world.

Below him, the infinite Dao lines that could not be seen by the naked eye instantly tightened!

Until they emitted an unbearable groan.

"How dare you, outer demon!"

"How dare you do this?"

"Suppress!"

At the same time as the crimson-gold Dao platform appeared, shouts of extreme anger also rang out, shaking the forbidden heaven and earth violently in an instant.

The terrifying power contained within shook this forbidden world violently in an instant.

Nine Dao platforms of various colors also rose slowly under the support of the boundless Dao line heavenly net, as if chasing the crimson-gold Dao platform.

"Crimson Heaven, Azure Heaven, Green Heaven..."

Zhulong's pupils shrank, and a monstrous wave rose in his heart.

He had lived for a long time, and although his cultivation was not too high, his knowledge was not shallow. He recognized at a glance that the figures sitting on the eight Dao platforms.

They were actually eight of the nine Daoist venerables!

Thinking of Xuanxiao who had been鎮殺[zhèn shā] that day, his heart trembled violently. He knew that this was the legendary place.

The forbidden place where the nine Daoist venerables suppressed that extraterrestrial demon!

Then, wouldn't that mean...

Buzz!

Buzz!

Buzz~~~

The Dao platforms rose into the air, and infinite Dao essences were immediately scattered like the sun, covering the entire forbidden void in an instant.

"How dare you come here to break the ban alone?!"

A reprimanding voice came from the Dao platform, and the sound of boundless thunder exploded. An extremely terrifying scarlet divine thunder appeared in the sky.

It locked onto the Zhulong traveler, whose expression had changed drastically.

"Wait, wait!"

Zhulong's heart was beating wildly, and he was so horrified that he hurriedly raised his hand to salute and explain.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he raised his hand, the decree intertwined with purple light rose into the air, emitting great light, becoming the tenth color in this vast world.

"How dare you be presumptuous in front of this尊[zūn] with your mere 造化[zào huà]?!"

Chixiao was furious. As his fingers intertwined, he was about to draw down the divine thunder to镇殺[zhèn shā] the intruder in the void.

Unexpectedly, high in the sky, the crimson-gold color suddenly blazed, and terrifying divine light poured down like a waterfall.

Rumble!

Heaven and earth roared, and the void collapsed inch by inch. In just an instant, the scarlet divine thunder intertwined with Dao essence had been broken with a finger.

Before others could react.

"Disciple..."

On the crimson-gold Dao platform, the Daoist priest, whose face could not be seen clearly, raised both hands, stretched out his ten fingers, and bowed slightly as he took the decree in his hands:

"Respectfully obey Master's decree!"

The old and respectful voice seemed even more terrifying than the Divine Firmament Thunder. Hearing this, the several Dao reverends shuddered, their faces filled with horror.

Master?!

This extraterrestrial demon actually had a master?!

"His master???... How is this possible?!"

Chixiao was shocked and terrified.

No one knew better than them how terrifying the demon in front of them was.

Seventy thousand years ago, the Phoenix Emperor attacked Heaven. In one battle, gods fell like rain, and the heaven and earth were almost shattered. If the Divine Emperor had not descended to subdue the Phoenix Emperor, the heaven and earth would have completely fallen.

But no one knew where the Divine Emperor's incarnation went after subduing the Phoenix Emperor.

This was a taboo that no one dared to reveal!

Only they knew that the Divine Emperor's incarnation was斩杀[zhǎn shā] outside the Nine Heavens Galaxy by the Daoist priest in front of them!

If not, even if the nine of them triggered the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder and the Daoist Heavenly Net, it would have been impossible to suppress this peerless extraterrestrial demon!

He was the first person to ever屠聖[tú shèng] from ancient times to the present!

This extraterrestrial demon was already so terrifying. How terrifying must his master be?!

The sages actually allowed him to send a backup plan here???

Chixiao was extremely angry. Before he could speak, he stood up suddenly, intertwining his fingers to form a Dao incantation, and resolutely burned the power of his lifelong cultivation:

"Fellow Daoists, form the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder!"

"Yes!"

"Divine Firmament!"

"Azure Firmament!"

......

Did Chixiao need to remind them?

The other Dao reverends, who had changed color, also stood up almost at the same time. Their expressions trembled as they formed Dao incantations and seals, wanting to trigger the Dao lines.

Combine the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder.

Extremely decisive, extremely straightforward.

And what surprised them, and even delighted them, was that the extraterrestrial demon on the crimson-gold Dao platform, who they regarded as their greatest enemy,

After taking the decree, he fell into a恍惚[huǎng hū], lost in thought.

"How dare you do this?"

"A god-given opportunity!"

"Nine Heavens Divine Thunder,鎮殺[zhèn shā] the Great Demon!"

.......

Chixiao and the others couldn't care about their shock and anger. As they reprimanded, they ignited all the Dao lines in the void.

Buzz!

Eight terrifying auras rose into the void. At the same time, another divine thunder was created in the outside world.

In a subtle measure of time that no one could detect, it had already entered the void.

"Nine Heavens Divine Thunder!"

Zhulong's expression was extremely terrified. He retreated in horror, but how could he be faster than the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder that could destroy the heavens and the earth?

He watched helplessly as, in a fraction of a millisecond, the nine divine thunders merged into one, striking with unimaginable terror.

It struck the Daoist priest on the crimson-gold Dao platform, who was恍惚[huǎng hū] and lost in thought.

"Master..."

Just as the divine thunder struck, a voice that the divine thunder could not extinguish rang out.

On the crimson-gold Dao platform, Sa Wuling slowly raised his eyes, a faint smile on his lips:

"Thank you, fellow Daoists, for your companionship over the years..."

"Hmm?!"

Seeing this, Chixiao, Zhulong, and the others were all shocked.

But before they could think, they saw the Daoist priest slowly raise his head.

And opened his mouth.

In the terrified and horrified gazes of the crowd, he swallowed the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder that was blessed with great terror.
