Chapter 528: Chapter 458: [Buzhou Qiantian, Profound Yellow’s Genesis]

The Thunder Realm.

Deep within the interlayer of infinite space-time.

The Extreme Dao Bell tolled, slaughtering Emperors and killing Ancestors!

The Mountain and Sea’s Ancestral Kings who had come to besiege Wu Dao never imagined he possessed the Extreme Dao Bell, the Five Tribulations’ First Fierce Weapon.

What should have been a guaranteed kill…

…became a Reversed Celestial Spirit the moment Wu Dao unleashed the Extreme Dao Bell.

They had become lambs to the slaughter!

So what if they were Peak Ancestor Kings of a Primordial Race?

A single realm higher is a world of difference, as high as the heavens!

The Extreme Dao Bell unleashed the Mighty Power of one of the All Heavens Emperor’s Soldiers. Even though Wu Dao, its wielder, was of low strength and could only draw out faint wisps of its power…

…the gap between a Great Emperor and one of the All Heavens Emperors…

…was as wide as a chasm between heaven and earth!

An Emperor Realm expert could construct a complete Grand Cosmos, their Life Magnetic Field’s Energy stepping into the Infinite Domain.

A peak Emperor Realm…

…undergoes thirty-three qualitative transformations.

It might sound powerful.

But compared to one of the All Heavens Great Emperors, it was nothing. The weakest of the All Heavens Emperors had constructed a multi-dimensional Inner Universe and possessed the second tier of infinite collective Power.

Wu Dao, who held the key to this Power…

…was now unstoppable, killing gods and men who stood in his way. With a single toll of the Extreme Dao Bell, he cared not if they were from a Di Race or a Primordial Race—all were blasted apart, obliterated, and refined into Chaos Mother Liquid!

If he were to achieve a Great Emperor’s Battle Power…

…he could activate the Extreme Dao Bell’s Primordial Power, unleashing the third tier of infinite collective force. Killing even All Heavens Emperors would be as easy as slaughtering dogs!

However, that was difficult.

It required Primordial Mother Liquid as an Energy source.

Currently, the highest-grade fuel within the Extreme Dao Bell was the All Heavens Chaos Mother Liquid provided by the Heaven-Burying Emperor, which could only unleash the power of an All Heavens Emperor’s Soldier.

As for the fourth tier…

…the power of a One-Tribulation Robbery Artifact…

…the Mighty Power of the Soldiers of the Close Path…

…it would require burning an Initial Tribulation Dao Civilization.

Back then, as a One Tribulation Master, the Slaughter Emperor had absolutely surpassed the Primordial Chaos stage at his peak and stepped into the Near-Path Domain, creating an Initial Tribulation Dao Civilization.

Unfortunately…

…his Attainment Dao failed.

His personal Dao Civilization never entered the One Tribulation stage.

Had he succeeded…

…the Extreme Dao Bell would have certainly transformed into a Dao Artifact.

However…

…if he had successfully transcended…

…then the subsequent annals of history and the river of fate would never have changed to influence the Great Dao. It would even be a question whether Wu Dao could have ever come to Hongyuan.

“Heh.”

Beneath Wu Dao’s large foot…

…the Female Ancestor King of the Qiongqi Primordial Race looked at Wu Dao, who was as ferocious as an Evil Ghost. Her shock gave way to a cold sneer as she said:

“Someone like you is destined to never know peace. Once you enter the Eight Celestial Passes, do you really think the Extreme Dao Bell will be able to protect you?”

The Eight Celestial Passes.

A place where the most powerful All Heavens Emperors roamed free.

Given how special Wu Dao was, Mountain and Sea would never give up after just one or two failures.

In other words…

…the stronger he became, the more excited Mountain and Sea would be.

Unless Wu Dao had Primordial Mother Liquid as a trump card, the Extreme Dao Bell wouldn’t be able to protect him once he entered the Eight Celestial Passes and stepped onto the battlefield.

“Ha! I couldn’t ask for anything more!”

Wu Dao grinned, his state of mind completely unaffected by the Female Qiongqi Ancestor King’s threat. His massive hand suddenly struck the Extreme Dao Bell!

DANG—BOOM!

A crimson pillar of world-slaughtering light erupted!

Infinite slaughtering Emperor Patterns annihilated all existence, instantly blasting the defiant Female Qiongqi Ancestor King into a mist of blood and Tribulation Ash. All of her Dao and Creation were refined into Chaos Mother Liquid by Wu Dao.

VMMMMM~

It wasn’t just the Chaos Mother Liquid.

Wu Dao didn’t spare the Female Ancestor King’s Ancestral King’s Soldier, either. A Qiongqi Cauldron, churning with black Karmic Fire, was also absorbed into the Extreme Dao Bell.

Of course…

…even more important was the Battle Merit!

The Battle Merit Order’s basic function of recording kills was still active. The Battle Merit gained from a single Peak Ancestor King of a Primordial Race was terrifyingly high.

Let alone dozens of them!

If he exchanged it all for Five Tribulations Dao Source…

…before the Second Tribulation…

…Wu Dao wouldn’t have to worry about Dao Source at all. In fact, he’d have more than enough. It would be easy to cultivate all of the Primordial Demons.

He had to admit…

…Mountain and Sea was truly his lucky star.

VMMMMM~

After dealing with the last Female Qiongqi Ancestor King…

…Wu Dao didn’t hesitate in the slightest, turning the mouth of the Extreme Dao Bell toward the remaining figures on the field: the Emperor of Ten Thousand Dragons and that little bastard, Long Chen!

As for those Death Warriors…

…they had been shaken to death at the very first moment.

“You’re the Divine Desolate Tribulation Demon, the Burial Realm Demon King… Mo Chen, the debt collector?”

Unexpectedly…

…faced with a life-or-death crisis, Long Chen showed no fear or panic. Instead, with a grim face, he began to question Wu Dao’s identity.

He mentioned his predecessor.

He had clearly just used their causal connection to learn Wu Dao’s ‘true identity’ and had seen the game of Celestial Mandate from all those years ago.

He finally understood.

He understood why he felt that sense of insecure repulsion toward Wu Dao.

Because…

…his Three-Life Dantian…

…originally belonged to the man before him.

He was just a shameful thief.

‘But Long Chen didn’t see it that way. Creation in this world belongs to the capable. The fact that Mo Chen couldn’t protect it proved he was an incompetent piece of trash.’

‘He couldn’t handle such great destiny.’

‘He had protected it.’

‘That proved he was the true master of the Three-Life Dantian!’

“Collect a debt? Are you worthy?”

Wu Dao gave Long Chen a strange look, his contemptuous gaze like he was looking at a beggar guarding a pile of trash as if it were treasure.

That look…

…deeply wounded Long Chen’s pride.

He had been utterly defeated in today’s battle. It couldn’t even be called a duel, because all his pride had been crushed by a single punch from Wu Dao!

His last shred of superiority…

…was treated like scrap metal by Wu Dao, and there was nothing he could say to refute it.

‘So what if I give the Three-Life Dantian back to you?’

‘You’re still just a piece of trash!’

Wu Dao hadn’t said a thing.

And yet, it was as if he had said everything. Just a few words had stomped Long Chen into the mud and filth, crushing him until his Dao Heart was on the verge of shattering.

DANG!

The Extreme Dao Bell tolled.

The Emperor of Ten Thousand Dragons turned to Tribulation Ash!

Long Chen’s face twitched. He took a deep breath and looked at Wu Dao, who was now aiming the bell at him, and said coldly:

“You’ve won today, but your identity has also been exposed. Next time…”

DANG!!

RUMBLE—

Wu Dao’s eyes narrowed. Unwilling to listen to Long Chen’s nonsense, he struck the Extreme Dao Bell forcefully. Ring after ring of crimson light, brimming with Extreme Dao destruction, enveloped Long Chen in layers!

KRAK—BANG!

There were no surprises.

The Hundred Emperors’ Armor instantly exploded and was annihilated!

Long Chen’s physical body also exploded into a bloody mist. His Proto-Cosmos disintegrated, his Dragon Vein shattered, and his Divine Soul scattered as if weathered by the wind.

But…

…strangely…

…from beginning to end, Long Chen showed no panic or fear. He didn’t seem to take the Extreme Dao Bell seriously at all. His backbone was uncommonly strong.

Apparently…

…he still had some heaven-defying trump card.

He had no fear of the Extreme Dao Bell whatsoever!

VMMMMM~

In less than an instant, faster than a thought could form…

…Wu Dao’s expression changed. Within Long Chen’s nearly obliterated Divine Soul, he sensed the familiar aura of a Dao Root Source!

It was a leaf!

It was covered in incredibly profound Dao Patterns, its entire body wreathed in a mist-like Profound Yellow Mother Qi!

Amidst the heavy, piercing light…

…the Mother Qi surged, manifesting the All Heavens and Myriad Realms and all of existence within it. Long Chen’s final sliver of Divine Soul sat cross-legged inside, as sacred and mighty as a Creator descending!

The Profound Yellow Mother Tree!!

In less than a thought’s time…

…Wu Dao confirmed the leaf’s origin. It came from Hongyuan’s First Innate Spirit Root, the Profound Yellow Mother Tree, located in Juntian of the Profound Yellow Celestial Domain!

Buzhou holds the heavens, Profound Yellow births the world!

During the time of the One Tribulation…

…the conflict between the Yin God and Yang God…

…shattered the Buzhou Celestial Domain, causing Chaos to pour in.

Buzhou Mountain plugged the gap in Chaos, becoming the backbone of the Hongyuan All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds, and was deservedly Hongyuan’s number one Dao Artifact.

As for the Profound Yellow Mother Tree…

…after Buzhou Mountain plugged the gap in Chaos…

…it was the Tree of Life that appeared once the Hongyuan All Heavens stabilized. It possessed the authority of life and creation, was rooted in Profound Yellow Heaven with its roots reaching all the heavens, and it nurtured the first batch of the Creatures of Ten Thousand Races in all the heavens.

The Profound Yellow Mother Tree was not the most ancient Spirit Root.

But it was recognized throughout Hongyuan as the First Innate Spirit Root, not just because it was the origin of life in all the heavens, but also because its Mighty Power was comparable to a Dao Artifact!

After the One Tribulation…

…the Great Dao began to become complete and flourish.

The All Heavens expanded at extreme speed, Dao Veins began to nurture countless living beings, and the Profound Yellow Mother Tree was gradually superseded, no longer creating life.

But even so…

…no one dared to doubt the Mighty Power of this sacred mother tree. It had survived All Tribulations and remained rooted, unharmed, within Juntian of the Profound Yellow Celestial Domain, revered and worshiped by countless living beings.

And the successive Common Lords of Profound Yellow…

…were said to be able to consume the destiny of their Celestial Dynasty…

…to gain the ability to communicate with the Profound Yellow Mother Tree!

But it was limited to communication; they could not control it. The Profound Yellow Mother Tree was too ancient and mighty. Not even the All Tribulations Provers could gain its recognition.

However, even just communicating…

…could grant the Common Lord of Profound Yellow an unimaginably great Creation. Because the Profound Yellow Mother Tree held the authority of creation, if it bestowed a gift…

…like the one before him, Long Chen!

He had obtained a Profound Yellow Mother Leaf!

One didn’t need to think to know…

…it was surely a gift from the Mother Tree, obtained after the Rising Dragon Celestial Dynasty sacrificed a massive amount of the Common Lord’s destiny!

“Don’t waste your energy.”

Long Chen’s Divine Soul sat amidst the celestial phenomena of all things in the heavens within the Profound Yellow Mother Leaf. It gradually began to turn illusory as he said coldly,

“Even if this is just a single leaf, it carries the Dao Essence and will of the Profound Yellow Mother Tree. I will return to the Mother Tree along with this leaf. The next time we meet will be the day you die!”

At his level of cultivation…

…even with only a remnant of his soul left, he was Immortal and Undying. Reforming and recovering would be easy.

But to Long Chen’s surprise…

“Heh…”

…Wu Dao wasn’t flustered or enraged at all. Instead, he sneered, set down the Extreme Dao Bell, and reached out a large hand toward the Mother Leaf that protected him.

“Haha, you’re really courting death!”

Seeing Wu Dao’s action, Long Chen couldn’t help but laugh out loud. The Profound Yellow Mother Leaf carried a trace of the Mother Tree’s Dao Essence and will.

‘For Wu Dao to dare reach out his claws…’

‘…was no less than provoking the Profound Yellow Mother Tree.’

‘His Divine Soul would be instantly ground to dust by the Mother Tree’s will. This was clearly an act of desperation born from powerlessness, the suicidal tantrum of a madman!’

“I’m so scared. Come on, come and kill…”

Thinking of this…

…Long Chen’s expression grew even more smug. He even goaded Wu Dao, afraid that Wu Dao might pull back his hand.

But in the next moment…

…he could no longer laugh.

SPLASH~

RUMBLE!

The Sea of Suffering surged, and Nirvana turned!

The smug look on Long Chen, who was inside the Profound Yellow Mother Leaf, instantly turned to one of terror and horror!

From his perspective…

…Wu Dao’s large hand was expanding infinitely!

Within it, an Endless Sea of Suffering churned ceaselessly, and in the eternal darkness at the ocean’s core was the legendary Eighteen Netherworlds!

The Endless Sea of Suffering, the Eighteen Netherworlds!!

‘How could he possibly have obtained the Dao Essence of these two legendary Supreme Will Dao Artifacts?’

DANG DANG DANG—

Amidst his terror and shock…

…Long Chen heard the sound of a Dao Vein snapping!

The connection of will between the Profound Yellow Mother Leaf and the Profound Yellow Mother Tree was being eroded and severed by the Mud Hell Sea! The Mother Leaf itself was turning yellow and curling up, showing faint signs of dissolving into motes of light!

SHATTER—

In the next instant…

…the leaf, formed from a mere speck of the Profound Yellow Mother Tree’s will, exploded into countless tiny motes of light. The Divine Soul of Long Chen, which it had been protecting, was helplessly pulled down into the Mud Hell Sea!

“No! No! Spare me!!”

“I’m begging you, don’t… AHHH!!”

RUMBLE—

The Eighteen Netherworlds closed.

His final, wretched cries and pleas for mercy vanished into the darkness. What awaited Long Chen was the endless suffering of Purgatory!

SPLAT~

A moment later…

…the sound of a fly being crushed by a stone roller echoed out.

Tsk.

‘What an utter waste.’

Wu Dao retracted his large hand, feeling completely bored.

However…

…at this moment, he clearly felt another massive mountain blocking his path on the Great Dao disappear!

The Chain of Cause and Effect binding him and Long Chen…

…had also loosened its restraints.

A great sense of freedom washed over him, from the inside out!

“Idiot. Wouldn’t it have been better to just let me kill you honestly? Seriously sick in the head.”

Wu Dao let out a slight breath and shook his head.

He thought Long Chen was an idiot.

One strike from the Extreme Dao Bell would have been instant and painless, but he just had to choose the Mud Prison Abyss, suffering endless torment in Purgatory before dying.

“Hm? More Ancestral Kings!”

But just then…

…through the Extreme Dao Bell, Wu Dao sensed the auras of Mountain and Sea Ancestral Kings and a Human Race Great Emperor rapidly approaching this domain from a great distance.

Reinforcements from Mountain and Sea?

A human traitor…

…and the Law Enforcement Team.

BOOM!

The moment he saw the Great Emperor from the Law Enforcement Team…

…Wu Dao lost all intention of continuing his rampage. He decided to quit while he was ahead, completely obliterating the entire region into chaotic nothingness to erase all traces.

Afterward…

…he used the Bitter Dust Robe to conceal his aura…

…and began to return to the Seven Days Pass.
