Chapter 1024 Defeating Heaven, Reclaiming Heaven

Pure, unfathomable, and vast, illusory yet real, a Daoist robe adorned with both lightning and fire, encircling cause and effect.

White hair cascaded down to his waist, his brow serene, yet the golden sword mark between his eyebrows seemed even purer and sharper.

When absolute terror was pushed to its limit, it no longer felt as sharp and chilling as it had initially. Although it was still the most extreme and unyielding power, at this moment, it had transformed into a boundless and mellow aura, the sleeves of his robe flowing silently.

Yu the Great stared blankly ahead, at the figure ascending towards the Jade Void Palace above, his mouth slightly agape.

He pointed at Wei Yuan.

Then, he looked dazedly at the great monk beside him, who also seemed to be familiar with Wei Yuan.

Again, he pointed at Wei Yuan.

Stuttering, he said, "A-Yuan? Yuan?"

Have I been locked up for too long?

No, isn't this evolution a little too fast?

Where's Nüjiao? Where is Nüjiao?

Yu the Great was in a daze.

Then, his face filled with horror, "Have I been sleeping for too long and become confused?"

"Or is it because I've been eating my own food lately?"

"I can't handle it."

"Am I hallucinating? Why do I seem to see A-Yuan about to fight Dijun?"

Da Yi also sighed complexly. Fuxi gazed at the flames in the sky, his pupils deep and mysterious, discerning the cause and effect of all things, "…All things are maintained by cause and effect, entangled by thunder and fire, driven by yin and yang, and catalyzed into swordplay."

"It slashes down stars above, suppresses all evils below, and sweeps across the universe, unstoppable."

"Is this guy crazy?"

"I, I don't remember teaching him such a crazy technique."

The Dragon God of Leize murmured, "I wronged you, Fuxi."

"Really."

"You're not a scumbag at all."

"Everything you said was actually true."

The Dragon God of Leize slowly exhaled a breath of stale air, even his voice trembling slightly as he spoke, "Not just the ten peak, but the strongest of the ten peak Dao Fruit realms, the strongest Dao Fruit."

Fuxi curled his lip, instinctively wanting to say that this was a risky move, a fleeting state achieved by relying on a surge of anger and murderous intent, like a wild goose stepping on snow, briefly imprinting its mark on that extreme realm, but not permanently constant. He would have a hard time later. He was just a crazy, stubborn, and annoyingly persistent brat.

But seeing that resolute aura, he couldn't say anything.

In the end, he just nodded and said, "After all, he is a Celestial Venerable of the Heavenly Court."

"He spent six or seven thousand years, enduring countless tribulations."

"To ascend step by step."

The Leize Great God yearned and sighed faintly, "Celestial Venerable ah…"

Above the firmament, yellow clouds churned and pressed down, exuding a terrifying aura.

It had already faintly achieved a state of mutual confrontation with the Zhou Tian stars, the myriad phenomena, and the foundation of the Turbid World below, which was deep and unfathomable.

Lord of the myriad phenomena and the stars.

Foundation of the Turbid World's profundity.

Jade Void Primordial Celestial Venerable.

They had already formed a tripartite balance. However, unlike the shock and surprise of the Turbid World Great Lord, the Celestial Emperor's expression, although still cold and indifferent, was now filled with admiration and praise. He nodded slightly, his tone calm and detached, and said, "Indeed, you have not disappointed this seat."

"Six thousand years ago, you said that in terms of cultivation, I was above you."

"But in terms of swordsmanship, I was inferior to you."

"Now that your cultivation has improved, it is time for a contest."

His calm voice did not conceal his past at all, and he recounted these events with ease and composure.

The Dragon God of Leize was shocked.

Then, he patted Fuxi's petrified shoulder forcefully.

Almost moved, he said, "You once discussed swordsmanship with the Celestial Emperor, and even said such domineering words as 'In terms of cultivation, you are unfathomable, but in terms of swordsmanship, you are inferior to me.' Such a domineering temper is in line with the style of us Leize Gods. I really wronged you! Fuxi! Really!"

"You're not a scumbag at all!"

"You're the best snake!"

Wei Yuan raised his eyes to look at the Celestial Emperor, nodded slightly, and said, "Very well."

"But now, I have something to say to this Turbid World Great Lord."

Wei Yuan's tone was calm and detached. He felt as if he was above everything, without origin or supreme, neither god nor self. Countless lines of law around him were almost visible to the naked eye, and he could touch them at will. He governed all things with cause and effect, guided thunder and fire with swordsmanship, his eyes deep, as if he could see the strands of golden karma spreading from countless people, emitting a dawn-like feeling.

It was not just like what Wei Yuan had sensed before, only being able to see the karma of those whose cultivation was lower than his.

Moreover, before, Wei Yuan could only partially control the lines of karma, with a limit.

Either his realm had been briefly elevated at this moment, or because he had just directly converted a large number of obsessions and regrets, resulting in the final completion of the karmic power. What he saw before him, or rather, what was beyond his sight, was a surge of countless karmas. Even powerful beings like the Celestial Emperor and unfathomable beings like the Great Lord, Wei Yuan could more or less perceive the karma on them.

Indeed.

They do not touch karma.

But it is not necessarily impossible for karma to actively strengthen and attach itself.

If the mountain will not come to me, then I will go to it.

If you do not touch karma.

Then let karma entangle you.

The Turbid World Great Lord raised an eyebrow, seemingly amused that this Daoist, who had previously been at his mercy, would dare to say such words. Turbid energy had already risen from the ground, seemingly piercing through the connection between the two realms. Countless turbid energies gathered, instantly transforming into densely packed Turbid World demon gods with considerable strength.

In an instant, their number had reached hundreds of thousands, even millions.

Each one exuded an extremely terrifying aura.

Almost all had reached the level of mountain gods. Although they could not be considered top-tier combat power, they could not be underestimated. What was even more terrifying was their number, which was too great, not dozens, not hundreds, not even thousands, but hundreds of thousands, millions!

And they were increasing at an extremely terrifying rate.

This was pure power born from the power of the Turbid World Dao.

It was a consumable divine power and must have various restrictions, causing a considerable degree of irreversible damage to the Turbid World Dao. But when used at this time, its effect was extremely great, seen as a means of turning the tables. Just as Yu the Great, Da Yi, and many Thunder Gods were preparing to deal with these Turbid World demon gods, whose numbers were so terrifying that they made one's scalp tingle, to prevent truly difficult opponents from being born among them.

Wei Yuan lowered his eyes slightly, his left hand's five fingers slightly open.

Strands of golden light rose towards the sky.

Transforming into countless mysterious and complex patterns. In Wei Yuan's perception, the heavens and earth were filled with numerous golden patterns simultaneously located in the real and the unreal. In a condescending and direct manner, he directly observed countless causes and effects, and then, following the instincts of his heart, he calmly clenched his five fingers.

The army of millions of Turbid World demons had already grasped their weapons and roared with their heads raised.

They had already revealed a ferocious and tyrannical posture.

But the next moment, the actions of these numerous Turbid World demons, whose average level had briefly reached the mountain god level, suddenly froze. Whether they were sprinting, or drawing turbid energy to transform into divine powers, or laughing and brandishing the weapons in their hands, they all stopped at this time.

The golden and red patterns on the Daoist's sleeves flickered almost imperceptibly.

"This place is for purifying the world, not for you to reside."

"It would be better if you all dispersed."

Jade Void Sword - Karma Nirvana!

In an instant, they were locked onto by cause and effect, and then directly given the ending of [Nirvana]. All the Turbid World demons directly lit up with golden-red streamers from the true spirit between their eyebrows. Their bodies shattered like torn darkness, turning into brilliant motes of light in the golden-red flames, and then rose into the sky and scattered.

Millions of them, in an instant.

Turned into ashes.

Souls scattered, returning to Nirvana!

This scene was extremely grand and terrifying, as if possessing the great terror of the destruction of all things. Yu the Great held his sword, but he just watched helplessly as his opponents turned to ashes before his eyes. He was stunned for a moment, then raised his head and saw the Daoist standing in the void, his wide robe and sleeves serene and pure. But beneath that image of karmic destruction, no one could say that he was truly gentle and harmless.

The Turbid World Great Lord watched as his subordinates turned to ashes in the blink of an eye.

Directly using [Karma] to bestow [Annihilation].

Because it was karma, it was unavoidable.

Because it was annihilation, it was inescapable!

With just one move, he had already displayed extremely terrifying destructive power. It was the kind of pure, specialized killing power that completely ignored the Heavenly Secrets and defenses. Then, the next moment, the scene before him shattered layer upon layer, revealing itself to be merely an illusion.

Although illusory, it was also real!

The Great Lord's thoughts froze for a moment, and the next moment, the Chang'an sword, without the slightest hint of smoke, appeared in Chi's premonition. In an instant, he dissipated and merged with the singular body, avoiding a certain karmic concept, and silently appeared behind him.

And in front, the Chang'an sword suddenly appeared.

If he had not avoided it just now, this sword would have directly torn his body apart and斬killed his soul, representing the absolute concept of a sure hit, completely erasing the intermediate process, directly following cause and effect, bestowing annihilation, weaving reality, and bestowing fate. The Turbid World Great Lord narrowed his eyes slightly.

He attacked.

The foundation of the Turbid World directly deconstructed the rules and concepts around him.

Making all concepts and laws return to nothingness.

Without top or bottom, without the ten directions inside or outside, in an instant, he denied cause and effect and erased annihilation.

It was because of this authority that Kai Ming, who had unparalleled intelligence gathering and escape abilities, had suffered a great loss in the hands of the Turbid World Great Lord and directly failed.

The Turbid World Great Lord displayed his authority.

Directly invalidating Wei Yuan's concept.

Letting the Chang'an sword show its posture, the next moment, suddenly countless stars flowed and changed, crashing down with a boom. The twisted gravity, the brilliant starlight, and the violent power of the star's core flowing and changing within it directly caused the Turbid World Great Lord to have to freeze his movements and avoid them.

Even invalidation was somewhat difficult to invalidate the Celestial Emperor's attack in an instant.

The next moment.

The blade of the Chang'an sword swept across. Even if it could not directly bestow annihilation through cause and effect.

But the blade of the long sword was wrapped in thunder and fire.

It was still extremely terrifying.

The Turbid World Great Lord's expression sank slightly, and then he shook his head and laughed:

"So, the Primordial Celestial Venerable and the Starry Sky Celestial Emperor will join forces to bully the few?"

"I thought that the Celestial Emperor was always fond of one-on-one, fair and square."

"Why don't you and I decide the outcome of life and death here, one-on-one, how about it?"

"No how."

Behind Dijun, the stars flowed and directly distorted the surrounding laws, fixing time and space. He said calmly, "This seat likes challenges and appreciates the courage of single combat, but if there is an opportunity to eliminate you, I can let my so-called hobbies take a back seat."

"For the sake of personal hobbies, letting the entire world lose a crucial victory."

The Celestial Emperor lowered his eyes and said calmly, "Do you think this seat would be such an inflexible person?"

The Great Lord laughed loudly, "Oh?"

"Then, will the Celestial Emperor not regret not being able to have a one-on-one duel with this seat?"

Dijun said, "Indeed, I regret it."

"Only, I regret that if I had known I could leave you here."

"I should have brought Buzhou Mountain as well."

"Therefore, I regret it greatly."

Seeing that the Celestial Emperor, who should have been high above and valued personal dignity the most, was actually indifferent and did not fall for his aggressive tactics, the Turbid World Great Lord's expression rippled slightly. He just muttered to himself, as expected of the Celestial Emperor, who had almost no flaws throughout history, unlike the strong, such as Buzhou Mountain, the Water God Gonggong, Zhurong, Fuxi, and Nüwa, who each had their own weaknesses.

Even Huntian had problems with his state of mind.

The Celestial Emperor's state of mind was like the vast universe, and it seemed as if he had no flaws.

If this continued, under the joint efforts of the Primordial Celestial Venerable, who directly controlled [Karma Sure Hit] and [Thunder Fire Annihilation], and the Celestial Emperor, who controlled the Myriad Phenomena and the Zhou Tian Stars, he would not get any benefits. The Turbid World Great Lord sighed with some regret and said, "Indeed, you have forced this seat to this point."

His figure retreated, and the surrounding turbid energy flowed, restraining the terrifying pressure of the Zhou Tian Stars.

Wei Yuan's eyes were deep, and he discerned cause and effect.

He slashed out a sword following the direction of cause and effect. The Chang'an sword entangled with thunder and fire, and it was unparalleled in its sharpness.

But it was blocked.

The turbid aura of the Turbid World Great Lord faded, and another person appeared in front of him.

It was a middle-aged man with a gentle expression and closed eyes. His features were ordinary, but he had a sense of heavenly constancy and unadorned skill. Suddenly, Hudi stood up abruptly, his expression dazed and incredulous, his body trembling, and he murmured, "Impossible, impossible…"

"How could it be…"

"How could it be!"

"Bastard, what did you do to his body!"

Hudi, who had never been angry, suddenly became furious and cursed.

The Chang'an sword in Wei Yuan's hand was blocked. Looking at the middle-aged man blocking his swordsmanship in front of him, even Wei Yuan, who was in a special state at the moment, still had a hoarse voice, with a trace of disbelief, and murmured,

"Huntian…"

The Turbid World Great Lord stood beside Huntian.

His expression was calm: "Now, it's two against two…"

The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, calm and composed:

"I have defeated Heaven."

"I have, taken Heaven."
