CHAPTER 680: CHAPTER 499: FOUR REALMS EMERGE! TREASURES SOAR! CHEN JICHUAN: IT’S MY TURN AGAIN!

Master Xuanxiao made the first move.

Following closely behind.

"Brother Yiyuan, heaven and earth have spirits, not something that one person or one sect can manipulate at will, do not stray into the Demon Dao!"

The Five Virtues Ancestor also took action.

He shouted loudly, extended his hand and called, from the Central Continent, a treasure broke through the sky towards him.

Upon closer look, it was actually five immortal swords.

White, green, black, red, yellow!

Metal, wood, water, fire, earth!

Each of the five immortal swords corresponds to one of the Five Elements, containing the Five Virtues, their energies united, and they too are treasures of supreme grade.

The sword light shot straight to the sky, sweeping towards Ancestor Yiyuan.

Not only Master Xuanxiao.

Not only the Five Virtues Ancestor.

The remaining Ancestor Dongwei, holding the Daoist supreme treasure ’Microscopic Candle Mirror,’ flipped the mirror surface and also aimed it at Ancestor Yiyuan.

Additionally, the Baoxiang Saint Monk and the Six Paths Saint Monk of the West Continent Pure Land proclaimed ’the sea of suffering knows no bounds, turn back to the shore,’ and two Buddhist supreme treasures, a precious pearl and a parasol, emitted chaotic brilliance, attacking Yiyuan together!

...

"Haha!"

"Well done!"

"Those who gain the Dao have much help, while those who lose it have little! Who would have thought, Old Daoist Yiyuan, that you would have such a day!"

The Vermilion Blood Ancestor wielded the ’Nine Six Cosmos Spirit Shuttle,’ with his extensive knowledge not inferior to a Daoist ancestor, he naturally saw through the origins of Ancestor Yiyuan’s ’Mountain and River Seal’ and understood Ancestor Yiyuan’s intentions.

He was very clear in his heart that he, along with the two demons Golden Silkworm and Tiancan, were being used as pawns by Ancestor Yiyuan this time, albeit unwitting accomplices in mastering the Shenzhou Origin on his behalf.

Yet Vermilion Blood Ancestor was not anxious, but rather delighted.

He wished to shatter Shenzhou, which the Daoists would not allow.

But Ancestor Yiyuan’s desire to dominate Shenzhou, to dictate heaven and earth with one word, was equally taboo and someone would similarly oppose him.

Sure enough!

Just the moment Ancestor Yiyuan revealed his intentions, the three Daoist ancestors and the two West Continent Saint Monks, who had been tolerant even of the actions of the three demons and hesitant to act, all stepped forward at this moment, exerting their full strength.

What was originally a battle to eliminate demons and protect the Dao turned into an internal struggle within the Daoist sects in an instant, which one could not deny was somewhat ironic.

...

"Xuanxiao!"

"Do you really intend to foster demonic flames and watch Shenzhou sink?!"

Taisu Ancestor was entangled with Vermilion Blood Ancestor, and seeing the crowd besieging Ancestor Yiyuan, his face darkened, his voice resonating across the Five Continents and Five Seas.

Billions of cultivators looked up at the radiance in the sky, hearing Taisu Ancestor’s voice, all were shocked for a moment.

"How could this be?"

"In cahoots!"

"The One Origin Dao Sect is facing demons alone, yet other Daoist sects and Pure Lands are not only not helping but even kicking them while they’re down, aiding the demons?!"

"Fighting among themselves at this time! Are they disregarding the safety of Shenzhou and billions of living beings?!"

...

Concerning the safety of themselves and their survival, despite the jealousy towards the frequent emergence of True Immortals from the One Origin Dao Sect and the resentment over the sect’s monopoly on the mass-produced True Immortal Secret Techniques among numerous Shenzhou cultivators in recent years, at this moment, they are immensely furious.

The One Origin Dao Sect holds supreme power alone, but at least Shenzhou still exists.

But if the demons truly destroy Shenzhou, then truly all is lost.

In an instant.

Hearts were boiling!

After this rebuke from Taisu Ancestor, Ancestor Yiyuan wielded the ’Mountain and River Seal,’ hastening his mastery over the Shenzhou Origin.

His authority grew heavier, his might more formidable.

"Heaven’s will and people’s hearts are with me!"

Ancestor Yiyuan pointed a finger, and the decree of mountains and rivers came forth, immediately donning a Dharma Robe, with an Emperor Dharma Manifestation standing tall to the heavens.

"Suppress!"

With just one reach, he blocked the three ancestors and two Saint Monks.

However, even with Ancestor Yiyuan possessing the authority to mobilize part of Shenzhou’s great power, it was still insufficient against the combined might of the five Fourth Realm Thunder Tribulation True Immortals, each wielding an Ancient Immortal Instrument.

Rumbling!

Master Xuanxiao held the ’Xuanxiao Sky Measuring Ruler,’ with the sect’s top Divine Skill ’Great Cave True Thunder’ overwhelming the sky and sun, shaking the Emperor Dharma Manifestation of Ancestor Yiyuan incessantly.

The Five Virtues Ancestor used the ’Five Virtues Immortal Sword’ to establish the ’Golden Immortal Sword Formation,’ ’Wood Immortal Sword Formation,’ ’Water Immortal Sword Formation,’ ’Fire Immortal Sword Formation,’ ’Earth Immortal Sword Formation,’ cycling through the Five Elements, and perpetually, transforming the Five Virtues Daoist School’s foremost offensive Divine Skill ’Mandarin Duck Divine Scissors,’ standing in the sky, continuously wearing down the Emperor Dharma Manifestation and diminishing his full authority.

The Baoxiang Saint Monk wielded a string of ’Golden Bodhi,’ the supreme Buddhist technique transformed, each bead became a world, carrying the force of hundreds of millions, continuously bombarding the Emperor Dharma Manifestation.

The Six Paths Saint Monk wielded a ’Six Paths Reincarnation Umbrella’. The umbrella revealed the six paths, with reincarnation within. The light on the Emperor Dharma flickered, with its aura rising and falling, seemingly about to fall into the cycle of the six paths of reincarnation, where everything would perish.

The Ancestor Dongwei’s hand held the ’Microscopic Candle Mirror’, which emitted a radiance. Using the Daoist Divine Skill ’Microscopic Small Divine Number’, he continuously calculated the weaknesses and flaws of the Emperor Dharma, guiding the four Great Powers to attack.

The Yiyuan Ancestor faced five enemies alone, while also needing to divide his attention to suppress Shenzhou and control its origin.

It was difficult to hold on.

If this continued, he feared he wouldn’t be able to sustain it, missing a great opportunity, an epochal chance that comes once in countless millennia.

"Fellow disciples, the rise and fall of the Daoist sects hinge on this moment. I implore everyone to follow me and lend a hand to assist the Ancestor!"

In the Golden Wind Mountain and Sea.

Master Fu Danzi, leading the Five One Origin Ancestors, rallied three hundred and sixty True Immortals from the sect to assist the Ancestor.

Amidst the mountains and seas.

The golden wind surged, the mountains rolled, and the supreme treasure shone brightly. The Daoist sect’s supreme treasure, the ’One Origin Golden Wind Bag’, which had suppressed the mountain gate for years, finally emerged once again.

"Wind vortex!"

"True Immortals, take charge of the wind vortexes!"

One by one, the True Immortals leaped into the air, landing in various wind vortexes.

The golden wind surged.

The cycle of One Origin began anew.

With the simultaneous effort of hundreds of True Immortals, the ’One Origin Golden Wind Bag’ grew increasingly powerful, its golden wind sweeping into the heavens, encircling the Emperor Dharma, thereby slightly easing the pressure on the Yiyuan Ancestor.

And with this relief, given a bit more time, allowing him to refine more of Shenzhou’s origin and assume more of its authority, he would undoubtedly grow stronger the longer it dragged on. Master Xuanxiao and the others would find it increasingly difficult to shake him.

"Infinite Venerable!"

"Brother Yiyuan is committing misdeeds, forgive me, Qingshi."’

In the midst of the stalemate, yet another Fourth Realm True Immortal emerged between heaven and earth, clad in a cyan robe, the most serene and detached.

This was none other than the most mysterious Great Thunder Tribulation Power in Shenzhou, the one who established the ’Qingshi List’ and ranked himself sixth on the list as the ’Green Stone Wanderer’!

As Shenzhou faced catastrophe, this ancient and rarely seen Great Power emerged at this critical moment, also standing in opposition to the One Origin Dao Sect.

With this.

Master Xuanxiao’s side gained yet another Fourth Realm, and the situation swiftly turned once more!

Yiyuan! Taisu! Vermilion Blood! Golden Silkworm! Tiancan! Xuanxiao! Five Virtues! Dongwei! Baoxiang! Six Paths! Qingshi!

By now.

All eleven Fourth Realm True Immortals of Shenzhou were present.

Treasures flew in the air.

Divine skills unleashed.

Even with the Yiyuan Ancestor’s ’Mountain and River Seal’ assisting to suppress Shenzhou’s origin, in the face of the eleven Fourth Realm True Immortals, along with hundreds of True Immortals from the One Origin Dao Sect wielding the ’One Origin Golden Wind Bag’ joining the battle, Shenzhou was teetering on the brink of danger.

Yet none among the immortals or the demons were willing to back down.

...

"So, this is a True Immortal!"

"Seekers of the Dao, many are selfish!"

Chen Jichuan watched indifferently, seeing everything clearly.

The Yiyuan Ancestor and the Taisu Ancestor joined forces, aiming to preserve Shenzhou, but harbored selfish intentions, seeking to seize the moment and control Shenzhou’s origin to pave the way for their future cultivation.

The intentions of the three demons—Vermilion Blood, Golden Silkworm, and Tiancan—were the most obvious; they just wanted to break Shenzhou, steal its origin, and flip the table for a one-time deal!

Whereas Master Xuanxiao and the others.

Initially, they certainly didn’t want the three demons to break Shenzhou. But provoked by the Yiyuan Ancestor, and unable to stop fighting now, they simply surrendered to the chaos, intending to break Shenzhou. At that time, perhaps sharing the benefits of Shenzhou’s origin with others wouldn’t be so bad.

Anything was preferable to having Shenzhou seized by the Yiyuan Ancestor, leaving them with nothing!

Everyone had their own calculations.

Truly, there was no one for Shenzhou, no one for the masses.

But then again.

Each one a Fourth Realm Thunder Tribulation Great Power, having lived for tens of millions or even thirty million years, already accustomed to life and death.

Without becoming a True Immortal, they remain ants.

Why would they care!

"If I hadn’t become a True Immortal, this time I’d only be able to entrust my fate to them."

"If Shenzhou remains, then I live."

"If Shenzhou falls, then I die."

"But since today I am a True Immortal, nurtured by Shenzhou’s life and raised by the Daoist sects, I must take action!"

Chen Jichuan shook his head with a smile, his intent moving, soaring straight into the sky!
