The Heavenly Dao’s gift.
The thirty-three Yama Lords were linked together.
The power of thirty-three True Emperors merged into one.
With a supreme force, a new unparalleled Yama Lord was forged.
If formations were like twisting ropes of varying thickness into one, the Heavenly Dao’s method was like melting iron sand into a steel ingot.
Soon!
In the darkness.
A world-destroying entity was born.
He stood ten thousand zhang tall, towering like a mountain.
His body was like dark divine metal, carved with countless symbols of death.
He wore a crown of sin, wielded a scepter of the thirty-three hells, and was draped in a robe of dark abyssal sky. Chains of the abyss coiled around him, and he stood upon a sea of sorrowful clouds. He was the embodiment of destruction, the harbinger of death.
“I am the Monarch of Hell!”
His voice carried the echoes of thirty-three different tones.
The Heavenly Dao was very pleased: “Excellent. And here is something more for you.”
Whoosh!
From the dark vortex.
Five beams of light shot forth.
Three of them landed on the three unparalleled Yama Lords.
“This is the power of the Heavenly Dao,” the Ancient Burial Yama exclaimed in delight.
“I feel even stronger!” the Dusk Yama roared with satisfaction.
“Qin Li, you’re dead,” the Extinction Yama’s killing intent grew even fiercer.
The remaining two powers nourished Mount Wugong’s Lord and the Master of Lingtai Temple.
“Thank you, Heavenly Dao!” Mount Wugong’s Lord, originally a shadowy figure, was now revitalized. His combat power surged, and his form became chaotic and indistinct. He had reformed his Chaos Divine Form, even stronger than before.
The Master of Lingtai Temple also received nourishment. Her soul grew stronger, her eyes shone with brilliance, and her power increased. However, she felt little gratitude and instead harbored a doubt.
Civilization is like a lamp, and the Heavenly Dao adds oil to it, thus empowering them.
But the Heavenly Dao and the Great Dao are two sides of the same coin. If the Heavenly Dao can add oil, then the Great Dao should be able to do the same.
Yet Qin Li clearly lacked this ability. Had he not awakened?
“Strike early, and don’t give Qin Li a chance.”
The Heavenly Dao fell silent, and the vortex disappeared.
The sacrificial ceremony ended.
Seeing this.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
They were instinctively terrified of this tyrant.
“Let’s not delay. We must attack the heavens,” the Ancient Burial Yama declared.
“With the six hellish Supremes, we can sweep through the heavens,” the Dusk Yama laughed heartily, confident of victory.
The Extinction Yama looked at Mount Wugong’s Lord and the Master of Lingtai Temple: “You must stop being fence-sitters. I heard Qin Li has obtained the Great Dao’s backup plan and has given you a hard time. It won’t be long before he kills you.”
Hearing this.
Mount Wugong’s Lord remained silent.
But his clenched fist revealed his resolve.
The Master of Lingtai Temple, though reluctant, knew there was no turning back.
When she decided to betray Qin Li, she had already burned her bridges. She could only continue down this dark path, cutting all ties.
“Let’s go!”
“Travel light, and strike directly at the heavens.”
The six Supremes soared into the sky, intent on destroying the hope of the heavens.
…
At this moment!
Qin Li returned to Qian Yuan.
He looked exhausted, his face pale.
But his power was expanding uncontrollably, pressing down on the world.
He was on the verge of losing control, unable to contain the forces within him.
With every breath, the might of the three civilizations spread, crushing mountains and rivers across millions of miles. Fortunately, Qian Yuan was already a wasteland, or his mere presence would have caused untold destruction.
“Husband!”
Chu Qingyin was startled.
Li Ping’an rushed over: “What’s wrong with you?”
“I’ve reached my limit. I must break through,” Qin Li said. The fifty small worlds within him were swollen and painful, filled with the power of time.
Bai Lijian was shocked, his eyes wide as he scrutinized Qin Li. He couldn’t help but gasp: “Your condition is very unstable. You should rest and recuperate to avoid any mishaps during your breakthrough.”
“No!”
“I have no choice but to break through.”
“Please, protect me!”
Qin Li did not enter the ship’s inner world but instead sat atop the nine heavens.
Given his current state, even the slightest misstep could shake the ship. To prevent any accidents, he chose to break through outside.
Seeing this!
Everyone guarded him from all sides.
They couldn’t help but feel a sense of anticipation.
If Qin Li succeeded, the heavens would regain their vigor.
Qin Li also understood this. This breakthrough must not fail.
He no longer held back, unleashing his full power. From his 108,000 pores, the power of time poured out, forming rivers.
From a distance.
A waterfall cascaded from the nine heavens.
This was a waterfall of time, revealing glimpses of the three great epochs.
As it reached the ground, it began to distort matter and disrupt space, creating a shimmering, multicolored spectacle.
It looked beautiful, like a sea of rainbows, but in reality, it was a labyrinth of time. Even a Saint who fell into it would lose their way.
“Is he really only at Saint Seven?” Bai Lijian was both shocked and terrified.
“He will soon rank among the Supremes,” Li Ping’an stood guard nearby.
The Heavenly Emperor saw the truth: “Time is the measure of civilization. He has absorbed the will of the three great civilizations, aiming for something monumental. But it’s easy to get burned.”
Crack!
A crisp sound.
Qin Li’s immortal body cracked.
This was not a good sign.
The essence, energy, and spirit within him began to clash.
The ambition to cultivate all three paths was grand, but achieving it was extremely difficult.
The Immortal Emperor, the Divine Emperor, and the Heavenly Emperor could offer no help. They could only silently protect him, waiting for the moment Qin Li would emerge like a butterfly from its cocoon.
Time flew by.
Soon, two days passed.
The Qian Yuan world had been twisted into a domain of time.
As the Lonely Demon said, this was the greatest mystery of the universe, and Qin Li was the treasure being nurtured within.
Unfortunately, Qin Li showed no signs of breaking through. His body was like porcelain, covered in fine cracks, its radiance dimming. His ambition was too great. If he had only mastered the Qi Refinement River, he would have already broken through.
And then!
The enemies arrived.
Darkness enveloped the sky, and sorrowful clouds spread across the land.
“They’re here, and they’ve come at the worst possible time!”
“Indeed, there is no peace in the world!”
“All forces, prepare for battle!”
The three Emperors of the heavens were shaken.
They issued orders, mobilizing the heavenly warships.
“Good thing we arrived in time, or this would have been a disaster.”
The six hellish Supremes descended, bringing absolute terror and corrupting the eight hundred great worlds.
They immediately saw Qin Li and sensed the immense power within him. Cold sweat broke out as they secretly rejoiced at their timely arrival.
“We cannot let Qin Li break through, or the consequences will be unimaginable!”
“Kill!”
The Monarch of Hell was merciless.
The power of the thirty-three Yama Lords merged into one.
He raised his hellish scepter, adorned with thirty-three precious pearls.
This was a weapon of destruction, comparable to an immortal artifact. Once wielded, it would turn all it touched into hellish land, sinking countless souls into despair.
Qian Yuan, already a wasteland, was now transformed into a land of ghosts, filled with resentment and sorrow. These were the wills of the innocent cultivators who had died in the previous battle, now reduced to hellish power.
“Fire the cannon!”
The Chaos Lord roared.
The heavenly forces had already retreated to the immortal ships.
They had detected the enemy early and had been charging the cannon.
Now, they seized the opportunity, unleashing a sudden, earth-shattering blast that tore through the deck, revealing an enormous crystal cannon.
Boom!!!
The cannon roared.
The shockwave alone instantly swept across Qian Yuan.
The hellish ghosts, caught in the thunderous blast, were instantly obliterated.
But the soundwave was just a side effect. The true killing blow was the terrifying beam of chaotic light that pierced through ten great worlds in an instant.
The Monarch of Hell, caught off guard, took the full brunt of the blast and was annihilated.
“Great!”
The heavenly forces cheered:
“We’ve killed an unparalleled Yama Lord…”
“Have you?”
A mocking voice rang out.
The Monarch of Hell closed in on the heavenly warship.
His hellish scepter, entwined with the laws of death, sang a song of doom.
His dark abyssal robe had vanished, clearly a precautionary measure. It had taken the blast in his place.
Such a powerful weapon, once detected by the enemy, would lose its effectiveness. Its slow charge time and unwieldy nature were now glaring weaknesses.
Boom!
The scepter fell.
Shattering the heavenly warship’s barrier.
“Quick, burn the spirit veins to resist the Yama Lord!”
The cultivators on the ship panicked, scrambling to hold on.
“Not good!”
“The ship can’t hold!”
“How did another unparalleled Yama Lord appear?”
The Immortal Emperor, the Divine Emperor, and the Heavenly Emperor were all horrified and rushed to aid.
“Hey, don’t forget about us!” The Ancient Burial Yama summoned the Tomb of All Living Beings.
“Our恩怨 should be settled!” The Dusk Yama summoned the Coffin of Ten Thousand Evils.
“I can’t wait to crush you,” the Extinction Yama summoned the Black Stele of Annihilation.
The six Supremes clashed, their power so immense that the thirty-three lands of Qian Yuan were torn apart, the very crust of the earth shattered.
“Damn it, crush them!” the Celestial Star Lord roared in fury.
They had already activated the Starry Sky Barrier.
In the sky above.
Dozens of ancient stars began to fall.
Having been triggered prematurely, they were now hurtling toward the ground.
“A move of mutual destruction. Let me shatter these stars,” Mount Wugong’s Lord hurriedly flew into the sky, avoiding the battlefield.
He was not a being of darkness and had no desire to commit atrocities.
Now!
The battle stabilized.
Only two remained unoccupied.
Qin Li was in seclusion, unable to move.
The Master of Lingtai Temple approached, her jade-like face cold.
If she wished, she could easily tear Qin Li apart and end the war.
