Chapter 482 - 425: You’re in Big Trouble!

"This is..."

Qi Yun’s heart and spirit focused slightly as his consciousness sank into his Purple Mansion.

He saw that the Ming Golden List was glowing faintly at this moment.

The light was not dazzling, yet it carried an indescribable rhythm, as if resonating with something in the distance.

As the light circulated, the countless tiny runes on the list, which represented the True Names of various deities, flashed simultaneously, as if responding to something.

Qi Yun’s gaze narrowed as he looked up at the Celestial Court.

He looked toward the ancient Divine Court, which was slowly manifesting and indescribably majestic.

The aura of the Divine Dao within this Celestial Court was incredibly dense! It was so dense that it could trigger a resonance with the Gods Sealing List across such a vast distance! If he were to step inside...

He suppressed his surging thoughts, keeping his expression neutral. However, deep within his cyan gold eyes, an indescribable light slowly swirled.

...

In the void, four True Monarchs stood in different directions.

As the last wisp of dark clouds was stripped away and annihilated, the confinement that had shrouded the Celestial Court for eons finally dissipated entirely.

The Celestial Court, truly and completely, reappeared in the world.

It hovered silently above the West Sea, suspended within the gradually subsiding storm of destruction, like a deity who had slumbered for eons finally opening its eyes.

Its majestic gates, the overlapping palaces, the continuously circulating Dao Patterns...

Everything exuded a suffocating majesty originating from ancient times.

The Qingyuan Dao Seeking True Monarch withdrew his right hand, his gaze landing on the South Celestial Gate as he paused slightly.

Immediately after, he closed his eyes.

He began to execute the karma deduction art of the Sword Dao Secret Technique.

A faint Sword Intent shot out from his glabella, piercing straight into the unseen River of Karma, tracing back toward the past of the Celestial Court.

At the same time, the True Monarch of No Dao Extreme Law also raised his right hand.

A mass of chaos color light slowly surfaced above his palm. Within the light, countless Cause and Effect Threads intertwined, tangled, and snapped.

Using the Dao of Gui Wu, he deduced in reverse, attempting to capture a trace of remnant clues from the erased karma.

Azure light swirled around the East Sea Dragon Lord.

Behind him, the azure water dragon condensed from billions of tons of seawater had not dissipated. Instead, it raised its head and roared, transforming into countless fine Water Essence Laws, throwing itself into the River of Karma as well.

Using the secret deduction method of the Dragon Race, he traced back the secret of the Celestial Court’s fall.

The Dragon Elephant Wisdom Bodhisattva pressed his palms together. Behind him, the phantom of the Ancient Dragon Elephant lowered its head, its trunk swaying gently.

Seven-colored Buddha Light circulated around him, transforming into golden lotuses. Within the lotuses, countless Sanskrit characters were born and extinguished as he also conducted the deepest level of karmic deduction.

Four True Monarchs, four entirely different deduction methods, operating simultaneously!

Time seemed to stand still in this moment.

Only the majestic Celestial Court hovered silently in the void, silently watching all of this.

A moment later—

The Qingyuan Dao Seeking True Monarch slowly opened his eyes.

In those clear, infant-like eyes, there was only a profound calmness, as if he had anticipated this all along.

He withdrew the Sword Intent that had pierced the River of Karma.

The chaos color light in the palm of the True Monarch of No Dao Extreme Law also quietly extinguished.

He opened his eyes, and deep within those eyes that could freeze all things, there was still a dead, silent calmness.

Behind the East Sea Dragon Lord, the azure water dragon let out a low whimper before collapsing with a boom, turning into a sky full of mist and returning to the West Sea.

His narrow dragon eyes squinted slightly, an indescribable gravity flashing in his gaze.

The phantom of the Ancient Dragon Elephant behind the Dragon Elephant Wisdom Bodhisattva stopped swaying.

The four True Monarchs withdrew their hands almost at the exact same time. They exchanged a glance. No words were needed; they already understood.

"The karma..."

The East Sea Dragon Lord spoke slowly, his voice like a deep-sea cold current, carrying a bone-chilling coldness: "It’s been completely erased."

The mass of azure light in his palm completely extinguished, as if it had never existed. Deep within those narrow dragon eyes, a dark light swirled. It was unknown what he was thinking.

The Qingyuan Dao Seeking True Monarch nodded slightly. His voice was clear and melodious, yet it carried an indescribable heaviness:

"It’s not just severed.

"It’s been completely erased from the source.

"It is as if the Celestial Court appeared out of thin air, never having had any connection with any karma."

The True Monarch of No Dao Extreme Law did not speak.

He merely stood quietly in the void, his freezing eyes falling on the majestic Celestial Court.

The Dragon Elephant Wisdom Bodhisattva furrowed his brows slightly.

A look of contemplation surfaced on his compassionate face. A moment later, he spoke slowly, his voice like the ringing of an ancient bell echoing in the void:

"Since the karma has been erased...

"Then let us reverse time and see for ourselves."

As his words fell, his posture of pressed palms suddenly changed!

His ten fingers flew rapidly, like a blooming lotus!

One after another, ancient, profound Buddhist Sect hand seals containing the Time Law rapidly formed between his fingers!

Every time a hand seal formed, a ring of golden Buddha Light rippled outward from his palms!

Wherever the Buddha Light passed, faint phantoms seemingly depicting the reversal of time appeared in the void. They were the erased karmas, attempting to reappear under the reversing power of the Buddhist Skill!

"Stop!"

"Stop!"

Two low shouts rang out almost simultaneously!

The clear eyes of the Qingyuan Dao Seeking True Monarch suddenly narrowed, his gaze like a sword piercing straight toward the Dragon Elephant Wisdom Bodhisattva!

The Sword Intent around him surged wildly. The Ancient Sword that had never been unsheathed emitted a low hum at this moment, ready to be unsheathed at any time!

An extremely rare fluctuation suddenly flashed through the freezing eyes of the True Monarch of No Dao Extreme Law!

The Gui Wu intent around him surged violently. The Dao Rhyme that had originally been as silent as dead water was now like boiling magma, ready to erupt at any moment!

However—

It was too late.

The moment the Dragon Elephant Wisdom Bodhisattva’s hand seal formed.

The instant the Buddha Light that reversed time rippled outward.

That majestic Celestial Court—

It moved.

No, it wasn’t movement.

It was—

BUZZ—!!!

A tremor—indescribably grand, vast, and terrifying—exploded from the deepest part of the Celestial Court!

After the tremor—

Came boundless light.

The light burst forth from the deepest part of the Celestial Court. At first, it was just a speck, like the first ray of dawn illuminating the darkness.

But in the next instant!

That speck of light transformed into a monstrous torrent!

It expanded madly in all directions at a speed beyond all imagination!

Wherever it passed, the void melted!

The fragments of the dark clouds that had just been stripped away were instantly vaporized and annihilated within this light, like ice meeting the scorching sun!

The light burst out of the West Sea, tore through the Celestial Vault, and pierced through the endless void. With unstoppable momentum, it swept toward the entire Profound Yellow Origin Realm!

The Qingyuan Dao Seeking True Monarch’s pupils shrank drastically!

His Sword Intent surged to the absolute limit. The Ancient Sword emitted a piercing hum, but ultimately, it was not unsheathed.

Because he knew—

It was too late.

The Gui Wu intent around the True Monarch of No Dao Extreme Law churned madly, attempting to devour the expanding light.

However, the light was far too vast, far too majestic, and far too unstoppable.

In the face of this monstrous torrent, his Power of Returning to Nothingness could not swallow everything.

Behind the East Sea Dragon Lord, the azure water dragon that had just collapsed condensed once more, but it couldn’t even hold on for a split second before being shattered by the light!

The expansion of the light only lasted for a mere three breaths.

Three breaths later—

The entire Profound Yellow Origin Realm was completely enveloped by the boundless Dharma Light surging out from the Celestial Court!

From the snowfields of Cold Province in the Far North to the volcanoes of Yan Province in the extreme south; from the shores of the boundless ocean in the extreme east to this deadly silent sea in the extreme west; from the highest dome of the All Marvelous Heaven to the deepest ocean abyss of the Returning Ruins, nothing was spared!

Countless Cultivators in secluded meditation felt their heart and spirit tremble violently at this moment, abruptly opening their eyes!

They sensed a certain indescribable "information" contained within the Dharma Light.

The information was not words, nor was it images. Instead, it was a more fundamental guidance, directly branded into the depths of their Divine Souls.

...

Above the West Sea.

The light gradually subsided.

The boundless Dharma Light surging out from the depths of the Celestial Court had finally finished its expansion.

A dead silence hung in the void.

The four True Monarchs, four Great Masters, stood quietly in place.

No one spoke.

All eyes fell on one place.

On the Dragon Elephant Wisdom Bodhisattva.

The figure clad in seven-colored Buddha Light still maintained the posture of pressed palms, still sitting cross-legged on the Twelve-Grade Golden Lotus.

However, on his compassionate face, that eternal and unchanging indifferent smile had now completely disappeared.

Taking its place was an extremely rare, almost imperceptible stiffness.

The corner of the Dragon Elephant Wisdom Bodhisattva’s mouth twitched slightly.

In those wise eyes, all that remained at this moment was an indescribable complexity and... guilt.

He opened his mouth, seeming wanting to say something.

Yet, as the words reached his lips, they turned into a very light, almost inaudible dry cough.

A dead silence still hung in the void.

The Qingyuan Dao Seeking True Monarch looked at him quietly.

Three True Monarchs, three gazes.

All falling squarely on the Dragon Elephant Wisdom Bodhisattva.

In those gazes, there was no anger, no accusation, not even any extraneous emotions.

There was only one meaning—

You’ve caused a massive disaster.

The Dragon Elephant Wisdom Bodhisattva coughed dryly, finally breaking the suffocating silence.

He pressed his palms together, lowered his eyebrows, and dropped his gaze. With an unprecedented, almost devout posture, he chanted a long Buddha’s name:

"Amitabha..."

He really had just... wanted to take a look.

Who would have thought...

Who would have thought this damn Celestial Court would have such a massive reaction!

A dead silence still hung in the void.

Only the majestic Celestial Court hovered silently in the distance.

...

At the same time—

The very instant the boundless Dharma Light from the depths of the Celestial Court completely swept across the entire Profound Yellow Origin Realm with unstoppable momentum, the entire Heaven and Earth seemed to stand still for a moment.

In the next split second!

A voice.

A majestic and ancient voice boomed without warning deep within the minds of all Cultivators below the True Monarch realm!

"The Dao of Heaven reduces surpluses to supplement deficiencies.

"The Divine Court has opened wide. The three thousand Great Daos are all hidden within.

"Those with destiny may all enter to seek the truth.

"Those who attain it will have hope for transcendence; those who fail will face the cycle of reincarnation without blame.

"The South Celestial Gate is open for a period of sixty years."

As the voice faded, everything fell deadly silent.

Between Heaven and Earth, it was as if even the sound of the wind had come to a standstill.

All Cultivators who heard this voice—whether of righteous or demonic paths, regardless of their Cultivation level, no matter where they were—stood quietly in place at this moment, digesting the information contained within the voice.

The Celestial Court...

Opened wide...

The three thousand Great Daos...

All may enter...

...

And at the very same instant this voice spread across the entire Profound Yellow Origin Realm and branded itself deep into the heart and spirit of every Cultivator, another place—a place even higher, more fundamental, and more transcendent—also experienced an unprecedented anomaly.

The All Marvelous Heaven.

The place of origin of the Ten Thousand Laws, the place of manifestation of the Great Daos, the place where the True Monarch Fruit Positions hung high.

The Supreme dimension that, since time immemorial, only True Monarchs could touch, perceive, and exist within.

At this moment—

It was trembling.
