Chapter 483 - 426: Profound Yellow, No More True Monarchs!

The Dharma Light of the Celestial Court swept across the Profound Yellow. The lingering echoes of that grand and majestic voice still resonated. Countless Cultivators remained immersed in shock, their hearts and spirits unsettled.

But in the next instant, the expressions of all the True Monarchs changed drastically! They sensed it. All Marvelous Heaven. That source of the Ten Thousand Laws, the place where the Great Dao manifested, the eternal abode where the True Monarchs entrusted their lifelong Dao Fruits, suspended high above the River of Time—was trembling!

The tremor was incredibly violent. It was so intense that even across the endless void, even if only perceived through the profound connection between their Dao Fruits and their true selves, all the True Monarchs clearly "saw" it. The eternally unchanging celestial vault of All Marvelous Heaven, woven from countless Daoist Laws, was slightly twisting! The endless Fruit Positions hanging in the sky, flowing eternally like the sun, moon, and stars, were also swaying ceaselessly!

"Not good!"

An unprecedented, sharp gleam suddenly erupted in the clear, infant-like eyes of Qingyuan Dao Seeking True Monarch! Before he could even cast another glance at the Celestial Court, his figure transformed into a streak of sword light that tore through the void, charging straight into the unknown depths!

The Gui Wu intent surged violently around True Monarch of No Dao Extreme Law. In those eyes that could freeze all things, only a resolute calmness remained. Without any hesitation, his figure instantly faded like a drop of ink falling into water, dissipating into the void and heading straight for All Marvelous Heaven!

The deep blue water dragon behind the East Sea Dragon Lord collapsed with a boom, turning into countless dense Water Essence laws. Wrapping around his will, it also charged toward that supreme dimension!

On the compassionate face of Dragon Elephant Wisdom Bodhisattva, there was no longer the slightest hint of awkwardness or guilt, only an indescribable solemnity. Clasping his hands together, the seven-colored Buddha Light around his body surged, transforming into a dazzling golden pillar of light that followed closely behind!

It wasn’t just these four! Deep within the Wuji Holy Sect, the black-robed figure that had long been silent suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze like lightning tearing through the void! Atop the Sword Peak of the Sword Pavilion, an aloof and arrogant sword light shot into the sky, slashing the firmament! In the Scripture Tower of the Vast Sacred Land, the white-haired and white-bearded Saint Wang suddenly stood up, and countless phantoms of sages’ writings bloomed with light behind him! Within the mountain gates of the Tyrant Sect, the bare-chested, burly figure howled at the sky, shattering the void with a single step and soaring upwards!

Deep in the Overseas Pure Land, Bodhisattvas such as Vidyārāja, Treasure Tree Adornment, and World-Purifying White Lotus simultaneously put down everything they were doing. They transformed into streaks of Buddha Light and rushed into the void! Deep in the East Sea Dragon Palace, the ancient will that had slumbered for eons suddenly awakened, letting out a dragon roar that shook the nine heavens!

North Sea, South Sea, West Sea—the Dragon Lords of the Four Seas opened their eyes at the same time!

In an instant, dozens of mighty figures across the entire Profound Yellow Origin Realm—beings capable of changing heaven and earth and overturning the cosmos—simultaneously abandoned all attention on the Celestial Court. They all leaped up, rushing into the unseen depths, toward the supreme dimension that was more fundamental than all existence!

All Marvelous Heaven could not be lost! The Dao Fruits could not be damaged! That was the foundation of their tens of thousands of years of arduous cultivation, their reliance for transcending the River of Time, and the ultimate proof of why they were "True Monarchs"!

Once All Marvelous Heaven was lost and their Dao Fruits collapsed, ten thousand years of cultivation would be flushed down the drain!

Within All Marvelous Heaven.

The Fruit Positions suspended high above the River of Time, quietly rotating, were still trembling. The tremors emanated from the deepest part of All Marvelous Heaven. The source was unknown, the direction unclear. It was as if something was slowly awakening from the eternal slumber of nothingness. The celestial vault twisted even more violently, and visible wrinkles appeared on the eternal curtain woven from countless Daoist Laws.

Just then, the void shattered!

A fierce sword light slashed out from the nothingness!

The figure of Qingyuan Dao Seeking True Monarch was the first to descend upon All Marvelous Heaven! He stood in the void, his Sword Intent piercing the sky. His clear eyes swept across the entirety of All Marvelous Heaven like two tangible beams of sword light, attempting to find the source of the tremors!

Following closely, the figure of the True Monarch of No Dao Extreme Law emerged from Gui Wu. He stood on the other side, Gui Wu intent surging around him. His freezing eyes stared intently at the depths of All Marvelous Heaven, as if trying to pierce through the heavy fog to gaze directly at the origin!

East Sea Dragon Lord, Dragon Elephant Wisdom Bodhisattva, True Monarch of No Dao Extreme Law, Saint Wang, Nine Revolutions Undying True Monarch, Nine Nether Sun-devouring True Monarch, Vidyārāja Bodhisattva, Treasure Tree Adornment Bodhisattva, World-Purifying White Lotus Bodhisattva, the Dragon Lords of the Four Seas... Mighty figures descended one after another!

Dozens of True Monarchs and dozens of Fruit Positions hanging high on the dome of All Marvelous Heaven simultaneously radiated brilliant light! The intertwining radiance illuminated the entirety of All Marvelous Heaven as bright as day! Every True Monarch’s gaze was fixed firmly on the depths of All Marvelous Heaven, on the direction from which the tremors came.

However, at the exact moment all the True Monarchs descended into All Marvelous Heaven and focused all their attention on its depths, an inconspicuous Fruit Position moved. Hanging in the most peripheral corner of All Marvelous Heaven, its color was dull and its Dao Rhyme thin, appearing as nothing more than an abandoned Dao Fruit, forgotten here and long ignored. It had existed here for an unknown number of years, never drawing the attention of any True Monarch. In fact, no one even remembered when it had appeared.

Yet at this very moment—the moment when the eyes of all the True Monarchs were cast toward the depths of All Marvelous Heaven, when their hearts and spirits were most tense and their attention most concentrated—that inconspicuous Fruit Position suddenly erupted!

BOOM!

An indescribably terrifying tremor exploded from the depths of that Fruit Position! Immediately after, a hand slowly reached out from within it.

Gold. A gold pure to the absolute extreme.

That gold was not the ordinary golden light, Buddha Light, or light of merit. Instead, it was an older, more primordial, and more overbearing hue. It seemed to have existed since the very beginning of the universe’s creation, as if it had gathered the essence of all supreme and noble intent from ancient times to the present.

The hand was indescribably massive. Reaching out from that inconspicuous Fruit Position, just a single finger was like a pillar supporting the heavens! When all five fingers spread out, it resembled a golden continent covering the firmament! Its palm lines were clearly visible. Each line was a mark containing supreme Daoist Laws. Within those lines, the sun, moon, and stars rose and fell, mountains and rivers formed and collapsed, and countless indescribable phantoms of living beings lived and died in an endless cycle. It was as if this single palm bore an entire, complete world!

And right in the center of the palm, a gigantic Swastika was slowly rotating! The Swastika was so massive it occupied the entire palm! With every rotation, countless golden Sanskrit characters surged from it, spreading out in all directions like a tidal wave! Wherever those Sanskrit characters passed, the void of All Marvelous Heaven faintly solidified!

"This is...!"

Qingyuan Dao Seeking True Monarch’s pupils shrank drastically! He recognized that Swastika! It was the fundamental mark of the Buddhist Sect, the symbol of the Buddha, the supreme authority that surpassed all Bodhisattvas and Arhats! But the aura emitted by that Swastika was older, more overbearing, and more terrifying than any true Buddhist intent he had ever felt in the Spirit Mountain Sacred Realm!

"Not good! Retreat!"

Dragon Elephant Wisdom Bodhisattva’s expression changed drastically as he let out a sharp shout of shock and fury! The phantom of the Ancient Dragon Elephant behind him roared at the sky, its trunk curling as it attempted to block the descent of the golden hand!

However, it was too late.

The golden hand completely ignored anyone’s obstruction. Slowly, firmly, and unstoppably, it pressed down toward the deepest part of All Marvelous Heaven. The five fingers curled inward. The palm faced down. The gigantic Swastika erupted with a boom!

HUM!

A tremor of indescribable grandeur, vastness, and terror exploded the moment the golden hand made contact with All Marvelous Heaven! It directly forced dozens of True Monarchs to let out muffled groans as their bodies were thrown violently backward! In an instant, the entirety of All Marvelous Heaven was transformed into a sea of pure gold!

And in the deepest part of this golden light, the five fingers of the golden hand were slowly closing. As each finger lowered, countless golden chains surged from the palm, piercing into the void of All Marvelous Heaven! The chains were as thick as mountains and as long as rivers, their surfaces engraved with dense, ancient Sanskrit characters! Like living creatures, they frantically spread, intertwined, and coiled. They tightly locked up the celestial vault of All Marvelous Heaven, the endless Fruit Positions hanging high above it, and the entirety of All Marvelous Heaven itself!

CRACK!

A teeth-achingly grating sound, as if space itself was being imprisoned, echoed deep within the heart and spirit of every True Monarch. The golden hand finally closed completely. The five fingers formed a fist. It firmly grasped All Marvelous Heaven.

RUMBLE!

All Marvelous Heaven trembled violently, yet it could not break free from the restraint of that golden hand! The originally flickering light of the countless suspended Fruit Positions dimmed in unison.

Sealed! Completely sealed! With an unstoppable momentum, the golden hand had firmly trapped all of All Marvelous Heaven in its grasp!

Deathly silence filled the void.

Dozens of True Monarchs stood outside the golden hand, staring at the thoroughly sealed All Marvelous Heaven. They stared at the Swastika still slowly rotating in the palm, at the countless golden chains sealing away all laws, all existence, and all possibilities. No one spoke. No one could speak. Their entire hearts and spirits were completely gripped by this indescribably mighty, unreasonably overbearing scene!

After a long time, a very soft sigh, as if echoing from eons past, came from deep within the golden hand.

"Sixty years...

"Everyone, rest here.

"From today onward, there shall be no more True Monarchs in the Profound Yellow!"

As the voice faded, the outline of the golden hand began to slowly fade. But its massive posture of gripping the entirety of All Marvelous Heaven remained forever, indelibly imprinted onto the celestial vault of All Marvelous Heaven like a brand. Those golden chains still firmly locked everything in place. That gigantic Swastika still rotated slowly in its palm.

All Marvelous Heaven!

This fundamental place that the True Monarchs had relied upon for their transcendence since ancient times, the place where they entrusted their Dao Fruits... was now a cage. A cage personally clenched shut by that indescribably mighty golden hand.

Outside All Marvelous Heaven.

Dozens of True Monarchs looked at each other in dismay. They gazed at the thoroughly sealed All Marvelous Heaven, their brows furrowing tightly!
