Chapter 1 The Opening

Boom!

A single staff strike towards the heavens leveled ten thousand acres of dust and smoke.

A vast aura permeated all directions. In an instant, boundless pressure descended like the collapse of the sky. Under the violent air pressure, even at a distance of a hundred thousand feet,

the land and mountains within the Blessed Land cracked, and the boiling rivers were instantly flattened.

Terrifying!

Dangerous!

In an instant, the true disciples of the various great sects within the Blessed Land all froze, a chill rising in their hearts.

Lin Yanlong had a great reputation among them, a strong contender for the number one true disciple of the Myriad Dharma Tower. Many people present disliked his domineering nature.

However, no one had expected that even with a Marquis-level spiritual treasure like the 'Heaven-Questioning Sword,' he hadn't even touched Yuan Yang Dao Ren before being smashed to death in the sky with a single blow!

Roar~~~

The Fire Ape stood in the sky, its cloak ten thousand feet long like fire, its expression extremely arrogant.

The inside and outside of the Blessed Land were immediately shaken.

"What is that?"

In the starry sky, Wu Erlang's eyes narrowed, and he subconsciously raised his Fangtian Halberd.

He stared intently.

He saw that the ape was as fiery and violent as it leaped. Even standing still in the sky, it gave people an endless sense of violence, a terrifying illusion as if it would erupt in the next instant.

Fire never ceased to burn, and the ape never ceased to move.

The heart transformed into a Fire Ape, its violence was imaginable.

Even just a glance from afar caused countless cultivators inside and outside the Blessed Land to feel a sense of heat rising in their hearts.

Clang~~

Only then did Lin Yanlong's horizontal sword light heavily strike the four-colored radiance surrounding An Qisheng, emitting a huge sound of metal clashing.

Roar~~~

Then, a sound wave that sounded like a dragon's roar and a fierce beast's roar exploded.

The divine sword flew horizontally.

Cold and gloomy, amidst the miasma of Yin energy, a burly 'Divine General' with an ugly face but also a divine aura, stepped out.

The thick palm slowly retracted, and it was faintly visible that drops of dark black water were sliding down the palm that had been cut open by the divine sword.

Sturdy and burly, with fangs and a huge mouth, black skin, and red eyes, it was another terrifying 'monster'!

It was this Water Hog that had acted when the divine sword struck, blocking the unparalleled sharpness.

"Demonic Art!"

"This Yuan Yang Dao Ren cultivates Demonic Arts!"

"What kind of divine power is this? I can feel that the Fire Ape and Water Hog both possess Blessed Land energy!"

"There are five colors, is this Yuan Yang Dao Ren trying to cultivate the Five Directions Blessed Land?"

A clamor arose within the Blessed Land.

The moment the Water Hog emerged into the air, its aura seemed to be no less than that of the Fire Ape. With the two combined, the atmosphere within the Blessed Land became even more oppressive.

"Ah!!!"

While the people in the Blessed Land were shocked, a roar containing endless pain suddenly resounded in the City of Pride.

From the ashes of the burning cloak,

Lin Yanlong soared into the sky from the distorted void, letting out an unwilling roar, "Sect Leader, save me!"

Any true disciple was extremely important to the various sects, not to mention one participating in the Zhū Wáng Tái melee, which was clearly a fight to the death. Naturally, a substitute had already been bestowed upon them.

But at this time, amidst the ashes of the burning substitute, Lin Yanlong seemed to have encountered the most terrifying crisis in the world.

He soared into the sky, about to ascend the Altar of Heaven.

But in the next instant, his body stiffened, and the unwillingness in his eyes dimmed.

His body exploded once again in the sky.

This time, amidst the spraying blood, his shattered corpse and flesh could be seen broken into countless small pieces.

He died again...

Crack~

Above the Altar of Heaven, the void shattered like a mirror, and hideous cracks spread out instantly.

An aura of impending storm permeated the sky. The millions of people in the nine districts of the City of Pride felt as if dark clouds were covering their heads, and their breathing was temporarily restricted.

"This Yuan Yang Dao Ren is really very good, very good indeed."

The leader of the Emotion-Extinguishing Path spoke in a hoarse voice, with an expression that was neither a smile nor anger.

"Such a divine power is unlike anything in my Eastern Continent..."

Qian Shisi remained silent, but the Ling Tian Sect Master had already spoken. He glanced faintly at the silent Tai Yi Sect Master, and his gaze fell again on the Zhū Wáng Tái Blessed Land:

"It's just a pity about Brother Qian's disciple..."

At this time, the killing intent in his heart was already extremely strong.

Because he felt that something seemed to be happening to the 'Yuan Yang Dao Ren.'

Faintly, he even felt a little frightened.

Who was he?

The Ling Tian Sect Master, in charge of one of the ten great sects of the Eastern Continent, with tens of thousands of disciples and dozens of dynasties under his command. With a single thought, hundreds of millions of people would change their expressions.

For him to feel something was wrong, one could imagine what terrifying changes were taking place in this person.

Not only him, but the other sect leaders also had different expressions, some exchanging glances, all seeing the solemnity in each other's eyes.

With this variable, it seemed that the goal would be difficult to achieve.

"He was not skilled enough, so it's nothing to die."

Qian Shisi's expression was indifferent, as if he really didn't care: "I am more curious about how he broke the Myriad Dharma Tower's substitute item..."

Seeing with his own eyes that the sect's substitute item was easily broken, Qian Shisi still frowned in his heart.

However, all sects had substitute items, and it was only normal for there to be methods to break them, but he had never heard of this kind of breaking method.

It didn't seem to be acting on the divine soul, but seemed to be directly locking onto the aura...

"No one in the world is immortal, so I won't ask Brother Qian to grieve."

The Heavenly Cauldron Emperor swept over the sect leaders one by one, his clothes moving without wind, fluttering like a flag: "It seems that your goals cannot be achieved. Whether to fight or retreat, you must consider it carefully."

His voice was neither high nor low, nor did it contain any power. It was as if he was discussing with three or five friends where to go for an afternoon outing.

"Do you think you have a winning hand?"

The Ling Tian Sect Master's face was cold, and his aura became dangerous, as if he could no longer restrain himself from taking action.

"Don't be impatient."

At this time, the Tai Yi Sect Master spoke. This oldest of the ten sect leaders, who seemed to be approaching his three-thousand-year limit, raised his eyebrows slightly.

His gaze shifted from above the Blessed Land to the Heavenly Cauldron Emperor for a moment, then swept over the sect leaders.

His gaze was desolate and ancient, and seemed to possess no power, but everyone, including the Heavenly Cauldron Emperor, did not dare to ignore this old Daoist.

He gently hooked his five fingers, seeming to grasp the heavens and earth in his palm, and his tone was as calm as smoke: "A Yuan Yang Dao Ren cannot turn the world upside down."

Rumble!

Almost at the instant that the Tai Yi Sect Master spoke,

drastic changes had already taken place within the Blessed Land.

Under the immense pressure of the Fire Ape and Water Hog, more than ten Marquis-level spiritual treasures within the Blessed Land seemed to be angered and burst forth with their own light.

In an instant, brilliant divine light soared into the sky, vast and mighty like ten rivers flowing against the long sky.

They wanted to suppress the fierce and domineering Fire Ape and Water Hog in the sky!

Cauldrons, diagrams, swords, sabers, hammers, books, pagodas...

Marquis-level spiritual treasures shook the sky, resurrected!

"The old guys are holding back!"

Wu Erlang's expression also changed, and the suddenly resurrected Fangtian Halberd instantly flew out of his hand, transforming into a golden-black divine dragon roaring and soaring into the sky.

"Not good!"

"Little Jin, I won't allow you to attack!"

Almost at the same time, both Lan Shuixian and Mo Baobao's expressions changed, and their blood and Qi burst forth, wanting to stop the divine weapon from leaving their hands.

They didn't want to take advantage of others' danger and didn't want to attack at this time, but this was completely beyond their control!

Their outburst didn't even provide a thousandth of a second of obstruction.

The long whip, like a long river, had already soared into the sky, along with the Sumeru Golden Mountain, which bloomed with golden light like the sun, majestic and vast!

"No!"

Yuan Duxiu's body trembled wildly, and his face seemed distorted. An unprecedented sense of powerlessness spread in his heart.

But how could he stop it? He could only watch helplessly.

In his rage, a mouthful of blood with golden specks gushed out, and he fainted in the starry sky. If not for Lan Shuixian, with a solemn expression, supporting him,

he would have fallen down.

A fatal blow!

A fatal blow!

A fatal blow!

In this instant, everyone changed their expressions.

"They still have hidden cards, they actually resurrected the Marquis-level spiritual treasures! Driving the Marquis-level spiritual treasures is extremely difficult, they are squeezing the Blessed Land power of the Marquis-level spiritual treasures!"

"So ruthless, so ruthless, they are really going to tear up their faces! How powerful are the resurrected Marquis-level divine weapons?"

Seeing this scene, everyone inside and outside the Blessed Land clamored, shocked, horrified, and incredulous.

Spiritual treasures, divine weapons, of course, were not easily driven.

Marquis-level spiritual treasures were the weaving of the laws of great figures in the Gui Yi (Return to One) realm, the inheritance of the Dao, and also the divine weapons that opposed them!

Apart from geniuses who cultivated some supreme divine power, no one could resist divine weapons of the same rank, or even a higher rank!

If the physical body was truly stronger than divine weapons, no one would use divine weapons to fight!

Therefore, Marquis-level divine weapons were powerful spiritual treasures capable of tearing apart the physical bodies of 'Gui Yi realm' experts. The power required to activate such spiritual treasures was also terrifyingly large!

Such squeezing of the divine weapon's own Blessed Land power was a huge damage to the divine weapon!

But the price was great, and its power was equally terrifying. This was the power to activate the Marquis-level spiritual treasure itself, even a strand of which was enough to suppress any Blessed Land mighty figure!

Rumble!

Whether as large as mountains or rolling like stars, vast and mighty, sweeping up endless dust and smoke, and containing indescribable majestic power, it seemed capable of completely submerging that piece of starry sky!

Tearing,

destruction!

Boundless terror, descending!

"Roar~~~"

Boundless pressure soared into the sky, and the Fire Ape and Water Hog were immediately enraged, their auras violently emitting earth-shattering roars.

In the next instant,

one red and one black figure soared into the sky, and under the boundless sky, outside the starry sky, they crashed into the torrent of divine powers rising from the sky!

In a daze, a towering and tall Youming (Netherworld) city, in which countless ghosts and gods seemed to be dancing and wailing, appeared out of thin air.

And in contrast, was a heavenly gate that stood tall and connected to the sky, draped in endless divine light and auspicious colors, divinely majestic, and extremely dignified!

Rumble!

In the next instant, an earth-shattering collision erupted.

Almost in an instant, rampaging and violent ripples had already swept through the entire Blessed Land. Above the sky, the sea of clouds tore apart, and dense cracks spread across the long sky like a spider web.

On the ground, mountains collapsed, and the earth shattered, as if thousands of earth dragons were turning over at the same time, or as if a giant demon was about to break free from the suppression of the earth and escape.

Rivers, lakes, and seas boiled, and the continent began to collapse and shatter!

Seeing such a terrifying scene, the many true disciples in the Blessed Land changed their expressions and dodged. The countless loose cultivators outside the Blessed Land who saw this scene turned pale.

If such a terrifying collision occurred in the outside world, how terrifying would it be!

It didn't last long. Accompanied by a loud 'crack' sound,

a huge gap suddenly cracked at the edge of the Zhū Wáng Tái Blessed Land, which was of unknown tens of thousands of miles in size, and several mountain peaks, mixed with an unknown amount of soil and gravel,

fell into a void.

This Blessed Land had actually begun to shatter!

"Alas."

Amidst the earth-shattering collision, no matter what thoughts Lan Shuixian had, she could only shake her head and sigh softly.

Carrying Yuan Duxiu and Mo Baobao, she quickly retreated to avoid the rolling and激荡 aftermath of the collision.

.......

"Good!"

Above the Altar of Heaven, seeing that the Zhū Wáng Tái Blessed Land was beginning to shatter, the Ling Tian Sect Master let out a long laugh.

But his laughter only lasted for a moment.

Because in the next moment, an incomparably cold and domineering gaze had already locked onto him, and an indescribable majestic aura, like a volcano erupting, the sea roaring, and stars exploding, soared into the sky.

The Heavenly Cauldron Emperor rose to his full height, and the expression under the crown revealed a deep killing intent.

Rumble!

Almost at the same moment, the ten sect leaders had all broken through the void and retreated thousands of miles away.

The ten people surrounded the Altar of Heaven, gazing at the Heavenly Cauldron Emperor from thousands or tens of thousands of miles away.

"It should have been like this long ago!"

The Emotion-Extinguishing Path leader sat cross-legged on a jet-black treasure book as huge as a mountain, with a faint cold smile on his face: "Why be so hesitant when life and death can solve things?"

The other sect leaders also looked at the Heavenly Cauldron Emperor indifferently, some with vigilance, some with indifference, and some with undisguised killing intent.

Their auras surged, and煞气 had already rolled out.

Even with complete preparation, facing this number one person in the Eastern Continent, no one dared to be careless, because no one was willing to perish with him, one for one.

Faced with the encirclement and watchful eyes of ten of the world's top sect leaders, the Heavenly Cauldron Emperor's expression was沉凝, and he suddenly sighed for a long time:

"Why can't you just abide by the rules?"

Whoosh~~

Hundreds of thousands of miles of long sky pushed aside clouds and broke waves. Under the rampaging of the rolling airflow, gale winds raged inside and outside the City of Pride.

A storm that filled the sky and earth had spread throughout the entire Heavenly Cauldron Kingdom and its hundreds of millions of miles of territory in an instant. The formations above countless cities were all激荡 and rose by the gale winds.

One by one, the cultivators in the desolate mountains looked up at the sky. The dust and vegetation stirred up by the howling wind covered the sky and the sun, as if the end of the world was about to descend.

And countless ordinary people were trembling all over, and great fear permeated the hearts of everyone.

"What are the rules?"

The Lord of Jingyang Mountain stepped on the long sky. Daos of terrifying blood and Qi spurted out from his tyrannical and inhuman physique, and his voice was like countless thunderbolts exploding:

"For three thousand years from ancient times to the present, it has always been the weak abiding by the rules of the strong. When have we ever seen the strong abide by the rules of the weak?

We must abide by the rules of heaven and earth, and we must not disobey the rules of the Supreme One, but you are not worthy!"

His voice炸空, with undisguised contempt and arrogance.

"Fish swim in water, tigers roar in the mountains, lions dominate the grasslands, these are the rules of heaven and earth, but there are still Kunpeng soaring into the sky, transforming from fish into birds, and great tigers cultivating into great demons, and lions can also soar in the long sky!"

The Ling Tian Sect Master stood with his hands behind his back, and the shadow of a giant sword that reached the sky was faintly visible behind him:

"The strong do not need rules!"

"Fellow Daoist Li, you have unparalleled talent, and you should have been in charge of one-third of the power of the Eastern Continent and become the master of a holy land above all others. It's a pity."

A sect leader also sighed, seeming to pity his unparalleled talent.

In the land of the Eastern Continent, it seemed that there had not been many people with higher talent than him in thousands or tens of thousands of years. Such a person should not have ended up in such a situation.

"You can't even be a Marquis, let alone a Supreme One. Do you think you really dominate the Eastern Continent?"

The Lord of Xieji Mountain sneered:

"With us here today, you have no chance to escape!"

"If I want to escape, you can't stop me."

Under the pressure of Daos of tyrannical Qi, the Heavenly Cauldron Emperor stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze sweeping across everything: "Who else is there? Come out!"

"Are you waiting for the Holy Masters of the Three Great Holy Lands?"

The Master of Lianfa Platform shook his head slightly, his eyes flickering uncertainly: "You have a good junior brother. Even if you betray the sect, he is unwilling to attack you..."

Some sect leaders' eyes flickered, and they snorted coldly, seeming to be quite dissatisfied with the Heavenly Cauldron Emperor's junior brother in the Lianfa Platform Master's mouth.

"Junior brother..."

The Heavenly Cauldron Emperor lowered his eyes and shook his head, his tone calm: "It doesn't matter if they come together."

"Fellow Daoist, you are too arrogant."

The Tai Yi Sect Master snorted lightly, and a幽幽, flickering, seemingly illusory, ancient gate with countless Dao interwoven and containing unfathomable power slowly descended from the highest point of the vault of heaven:

"Profound and mysterious, the gate of all wonders..."

The moment the ancient gate emerged, in the Heavenly Cauldron Kingdom, the sky and the earth for tens of thousands of miles, thousands of cities, and hundreds of millions of beings heard Daos of murmurs like heavenly sounds.

Endless divine light overflowed like a waterfall, and wherever it passed, wonders emerged one after another, as if true dragons and phoenixes were surrounding it, and as if Qiongqi and Xuan Tortoises were鸣.

Daos of golden light crisscrossed, and in the sky for hundreds of thousands of miles, every inch of space seemed to be penetrated by the golden light!

It became tangible!

The void was locked down!

Profound and mysterious, the gate of all wonders!

A wisp of Qi permeated down, and in an instant, it had filled the Heavenly Cauldron Kingdom, and even covered hundreds of countries, thousands of sects, and hundreds of millions of beings in the Eastern Continent at an indescribable terrifying speed!

Under the deep and divine Dao, countless powerful beings were awakened. This was different from the wisp of Qi a few years ago.

Someone had activated the Supreme Treasure!

"This, this is the shadow of the Supreme Treasure left by Tai Yi Tianzun!"

Some cultivators recognized this gate, and their hearts jumped wildly in horror and disbelief.

The Celestial Venerable Supreme Treasure!

In the thousands of sects and tens of millions of cultivators in the Eastern Continent, no one did not know the 'Gate of All Wonders', and no one did not reach this magnificent power known as the peak of heaven and earth.

But everyone, everyone, had never truly seen the power of the Celestial Venerable Supreme Treasure.

Including the countless old antiques in the Ten Great Sects and the Three Great Holy Lands!

Because, after Guanglong Supreme achieved Dao, no one had ever used the Celestial Venerable Supreme Treasure!

Its reappearance after tens of thousands of years immediately attracted the attention of countless people.

In thousands of large and small sects, in the cities of various countries, the loose cultivators could see it beyond the pass that cut off the east and west, separating the Eastern Continent and the Demon Continent, like a heavenly pass.

A尊 powerful being was also alarmed.

In a mountain range that stretched for tens of millions of miles, where countless demons and fierce beasts roamed, a pair of scarlet eyes tore through the void, seeming to see the 'Gate of All Wonders' hanging in the sky hundreds of millions of miles away.

"Profound and mysterious, the gate of all wonders... The infighting of the human race seems to be fiercer than that of my demon race. Hehe, hahaha."

The murmuring sound was like heavenly music, and in the vast mountain range that stretched for tens of millions of miles, countless demons that had opened their intelligence, fierce beasts that had not opened their intelligence,

and even countless wild beasts, insects in the mud, and ants trembled and dared not make a sound.

"The Gate of All Wonders..."

Among the stele forests of the Enactment Platform, the Fourth Prince's eyes dimmed slightly.

The sect holy lands, which controlled the strongest power in the Eastern Continent, were to some extent too lazy to hide their thoughts. As early as a few years ago, they had learned through hidden spies that the purpose of the various sects was to seize the Zhū Wáng Tái.

But the most desperate thing in the world was knowing the enemy's purpose, but being unable to resist it at all.

After the Marquis-level spiritual treasure was the shadow of the Gate of All Wonders.

What then?

The Three Great Holy Lands did not seem to have taken action yet.

Not only him, but in the nine districts of the City of Pride, the several princes, the fourteen princesses, and the many experts and retainers gathered by the Heavenly Cauldron Kingdom also darkened.

Deep despair rippled in their hearts.

Rumble!

The Gate of All Wonders hung across tens of thousands of miles, and its Qi rolled down, sealing the void and steadily suppressing the Altar of Heaven, and on the Altar of Heaven, the光芒 缭绕.

The Zhū Wáng Tái Blessed Land, where a world-shattering battle was taking place!

Buzz~

Under the powerful pressure, the void receded like a tide, revealing the true nature of the封王台.

It was a huge black Fa Tai (Dharma Platform), empty above it, without even a trace of dust.

The Fa Tai was huge, obscuring the sun, seeming to be even larger than the entire City of Pride, overflowing with an ancient and vicissitudes Qi, and emitting a terrifying aura that made people shudder.

However, the earth-shattering collision that everyone imagined did not occur.

Although the Zhū Wáng Tái burst forth with countless Daos of profound divine light, it did not counterattack, allowing the shadow of the Gate of All Wonders to descend from the sky and suppress it below.

Only a buzzing sound of Dao colliding reverberated between heaven and earth.

"Huh?"

Seeing this scene, the sect leaders couldn't help but be slightly surprised, not expecting that the Heavenly Cauldron Emperor had not activated the Zhū Wáng Tái to resist.

Although they didn't think that the Zhū Wáng Tái could contend with the shadow of the Gate of All Wonders, they didn't expect him to not resist at all.

"Giving up?"

A sect leader muttered to himself, looking at the Heavenly Cauldron Emperor. Even though they seemed to have the advantage, they did not blindly attack, and their vigilance was even deeper.

Guarding against a desperate struggle.

"This day, you have been looking forward to it for a long time, and you have been planning for it for a long time, right?"

With a wisp of Supreme Qi pressing down, and the ten great enemies ready to move, the Heavenly Cauldron Emperor spoke faintly. There was no sorrow on his face, but a faint smile appeared:

"This humble one has also been waiting for a long time!"

Buzz~

At the moment of speaking, Daos of blood and Qi, as brilliant as streamers, slowly emerged from the Heavenly Cauldron Emperor's body.

At this moment, his body seemed to be completely burning.

A wisp of breathtaking Qi rose slowly from the depths of his physique.

What?

The hearts of the sect leaders all stirred, and suddenly they seemed to remember something: "You, you want to use our pressure to break through to the Gui Yi and become a Marquis?!"

At the thought of this, the sect leaders all changed their expressions.

They had all thought of this possibility!

"You want to learn from the Guanglong Supreme, break through to the Gui Yi realm before the great changes in the world, and become a Marquis to dominate the world!"

The Lord of Jingyang Mountain changed his expression drastically.

He immediately attacked with all his strength, letting out a roar: "Wishful thinking!"

"Stop him!"

The sect leaders of the other great sects also no longer held back. Blood and Qi rolled like a roaring star storm, submerging everything within sight.

A world-shattering battle completely erupted!

......

Rumble!

The simultaneous resurrection of more than ten Marquis-level treasures, even if each one only had one percent of its peak power, this power alone was enough to completely destroy any Blessed Land,

no, any Powdered Vacuum realm expert who did not resist.

Under the terrifying and shocking collision, the Fire Ape and Water Hog, even if they were comparable to Blessed Lands, did not seem to resist for long before they shattered.

But in an instant, among the five 流转 divine lights, another ape and hog stepped out,冲击 towards the terrifying torrent.

Dying and being destroyed, being destroyed and being born!

It seemed that in just a snap of a finger, the Fire Ape and Water Hog had already shattered more than a thousand times!

Crack~

Finally, the starry sky that surrounded them and seemed to obscure the long sky of the Blessed Land was completely torn apart.

Terrifying power seemed about to submerge everything in the next instant.

Buzz~

But just after the Fire Ape and Water Hog shattered once again, among the completely torn starry sky, the 'stars' that were originally熠熠生辉 and rotating according to some unpredictable rules,

suddenly dimmed!

Two extremely brilliant lights obscured the stars and outshone the light of the torrent of spiritual treasures.

The true disciples who were dodging in a mess in the Blessed Land looked up in horror.

They saw that the starry sky had disappeared.

What replaced it was a绚烂 divine light that divided the entire Blessed Land into two colors.

Two colors of heaven and earth!

On one side, raging flames burned the sky,簇拥 a great sun rising into the sky.

On the other side, moonlight was as clear as a tide,承载 a great moon rising up.

The sun and moon were in the same sky!

But they were not stars and celestial bodies, but the Daoist sitting at the end of the heavenly steps.

At this moment,

he opened his eyes!
