Chapter 484 - 427: I’ll Suppress It!

Within All Marvelous Heaven.

Boundless golden light surged like a tide, reflecting the massive "Swastika" and countless golden chains, making them ever more blinding. Dozens of True Monarchs stood amidst the golden light, their auras churning and their Dao Fruits flickering. Their gazes, almost simultaneously, turned in unison toward those Buddhist Cultivation Bodhisattvas.

In those eyes, there was no anger, nor questioning. There was only a chilling scrutiny, more terrifying than anger and almost tangible in its weight.

"Fellow Daoists..."

Dragon Elephant Wisdom Bodhisattva pressed his palms together. His voice was low, yet carrying an unprecedented solemnity.

"This poor monk knows what you are all thinking.

"But please see clearly—we are equally trapped here."

He raised a hand to point at the giant golden palm that still tightly gripped All Marvelous Heaven, pointing at the countless surging Sanskrit chains.

"If this matter truly involved our Buddhist Sect, why would we also be trapped here?

"Why would even our own Dao Fruits be suppressed by that golden light, leaving us completely immobilized?"

Upon the three faces of Vidyārāja Bodhisattva, the supposedly eternally unceasing flames of wrath had dimmed somewhat. He said in a muffled voice, "Although our path differs from yours, we Buddhist Cultivators are not stupid enough to ask a tiger for its skin and throw our own lives away!"

The silence lasted for several breaths.

Qingyuan Dao Seeking True Monarch’s clear eyes swept back and forth across those Bodhisattvas. The Ancient Sword at his waist let out a low hum. Sword Intent surged like raging waves, yet it was forcefully suppressed.

After a long time...

"Hmph."

A cold scoff burst from his throat. He retracted his gaze, and the icy scrutiny dissipated as well. The other True Monarchs followed suit. After all, this was truly not the time for a reckoning. All of the True Monarchs turned their attention to the giant golden palm gripping All Marvelous Heaven.

Qingyuan Dao Seeking True Monarch raised his right hand, forming his fingers into a sword, and lightly tapped toward the golden chains.

CLANG!

A sword light, condensed to the absolute limit, burst from his fingertips, slashing straight toward one of the chains! The sharpness of the sword light was enough to sever karma and shatter the Ten Thousand Laws!

However, the moment the sword light touched the chain, countless Sanskrit characters abruptly lit up upon it!

CLANG!

A loud crash of clashing metal echoed throughout All Marvelous Heaven! The sword light, capable of severing stars, shattered inch by inch like fragile glass. Meanwhile, not a single mark was left upon the chain!

Qingyuan Dao Seeking True Monarch frowned slightly. He did not strike again.

East Sea Dragon Lord took a step forward, the deep blue light around him surging. The phantom image of a boundless ocean emerged behind him!

He raised his hand and clenched his five fingers!

The ocean phantom abruptly shrank, transforming into a deep blue spear condensed from billions of tons of seawater! The spear tore through the air, thrusting straight at the golden chain!

BOOM!!!

A massive explosion erupted! The moment the deep blue spear collided with the chain, it explosively shattered into a sky-filling mist of water! Yet the chain remained completely motionless!

Following this, the assembled True Monarchs attacked one after another. Terrifying might—enough to annihilate boundless Star Rivers and shatter vast realms—continuously erupted. However, those chains remained entirely unharmed, as if indestructible!

Dead silence.

Within All Marvelous Heaven, there was dead silence. Just as everyone was racking their brains for a way to break the seal but found themselves completely helpless, in a corner at the edge of All Marvelous Heaven, a figure clad in a pure white Daoist Robe sat cross-legged in the void.

Light flowed around him. His face was gentle and full of Compassion, his brow carrying the wisdom of worldly insight and a transcendent serenity.

Great Sun Purple Extreme True Monarch.

Ever since entering All Marvelous Heaven, he had remained silent. He did not converse with anyone, did not participate in any deductions, and did not even cast an extra glance at the giant golden palm. He merely sat there quietly, as if completely unconcerned with this sudden crisis.

At this moment...

He moved. Those eyes, which had been half-closed, slowly opened. They were gentle and clear, like two deep, ancient wells. The moment they opened, a deep blue figure slowly reflected in their depths.

...

Profound Yellow Origin Realm.

Deep within his Purple Mansion, an intermittent thought transmitted over.

"Main body... something has happened."

It was a voice Qi Yun was incredibly familiar with. But right now, that voice flickered unsteadily like a candle in the wind, sometimes there and sometimes not, as if it could be blown out at any moment.

It was Great Sun Purple Extreme True Monarch.

Qi Yun’s gaze instantly hardened, his Heart and Spirit sinking deep into his Purple Mansion. The mental imprint connecting him to Great Sun Purple Extreme True Monarch was currently trembling violently. The thought fluctuations transmitting from the imprint were more than ten times weaker than usual—as if an invisible, indescribably majestic chain was frantically suppressing and severing this connection.

"All Marvelous Heaven..." Great Sun Purple Extreme True Monarch’s voice stuttered. Every word felt as if it required all his strength just to forcefully transmit over. "...Has been sealed..."

Qi Yun’s pupils shrank violently.

"That golden palm... has sealed the entirety of All Marvelous Heaven...

"All the True Monarchs... are trapped inside...

"I... proved my Dao with the Primordial Spirit... I am not bound by the Fruit Position... so I can still transmit a sliver of thought...

"But... it is... extremely limited..."

As the thought arrived, Qi Yun could clearly feel the aura from the mental imprint being frantically suppressed and eroded by some invisible force. Great Sun Purple Extreme True Monarch’s Infinite Light, which could illuminate all heavens, was suppressed to the point where not a single trace could seep through in the face of that golden Palm Seal, like a firefly trying to outshine a bright moon.

"What exactly happened?!" Qi Yun’s Heart and Spirit was severely shaken, an unprecedented brilliance bursting from the depths of his Cyan Gold eyes!

Great Sun Purple Extreme True Monarch’s thoughts continued to arrive, still stuttering but enough for Qi Yun to piece together the truth:

"The Celestial Court’s Dharma Light... swept across Profound Yellow... All Marvelous Heaven shook...

"All the True Monarchs... thought there was an anomaly in All Marvelous Heaven... and rushed in simultaneously...

"It was a... long-hidden... Dao Fruit...

"A golden palm... the Swastika... sealed the entirety of All Marvelous Heaven...

"We... are all trapped..."

Reaching this point, Great Sun Purple Extreme True Monarch’s voice paused, as if gathering his last bit of strength, before transmitting word by word:

"None were spared."

Qi Yun fell silent. Within his Purple Mansion, dead silence reigned. Only the increasingly faint thought fluctuations from the mental imprint proved that Great Sun Purple Extreme True Monarch was still struggling to maintain contact with him.

"None were spared."

These words were like a heavy sledgehammer viciously smashing into Qi Yun’s heart. He instantly understood what this meant.

The tremors of All Marvelous Heaven affected the very foundation of the True Monarchs!

Those existences who usually stood high above, looking down upon all living beings; those Supreme True Monarchs who stabilized a Sect’s Qi Yun and held the authority of the cosmos... right now, they had all become birds in a cage. Even those old monsters who had been in secluded meditation for years, and those ancient existences hidden behind the scenes for untold ages—none of them were spared.

Because that was All Marvelous Heaven! That was the place where their Dao Fruits hung, the fundamental anchor of all their cultivation.

If something happened there, it meant something happened to their Dao Fruits; it meant their very foundations were shaken.

Who would dare not to go? Who would dare gamble on that one in ten thousand possibility?

Qi Yun slowly raised his head, looking toward the Celestial Court still suspended above the West Sea.

"Above the True Monarch..." Qi Yun muttered softly, the light in his Cyan Gold eyes flickering intensely.

He finally understood completely.

From Spirit Mountain’s World Honored One, to the Master of the Ancient Coffin, to today’s emergence of the Celestial Court. Those lofty figures [Above the True Monarch] were not transcendent and indifferent to worldly affairs as the legends claimed.

They had been setting up the board all along. They had been constantly placing their pieces. They had been waiting for this very day.

The matter of the World Honored One made the True Monarchs wary of what lay "Above." The expulsion by the Ancient Coffin made the True Monarchs realize the malice of what lay "Above." And today—the Celestial Court emerged, Dharma Light swept across, and All Marvelous Heaven trembled.

Every single step of this process was meticulously designed, and every action perfectly predicted the True Monarchs’ reactions. Ultimately, that golden palm firmly grasped the entirety of All Marvelous Heaven, catching all the True Monarchs of the Profound Yellow Origin Realm in one fell swoop.

Qi Yun felt a chill run down his spine.

How terrifying were the methods of those [Above the True Monarch]!

Backup plans followed one after another, calculating the True Monarchs to death. Every step stepped on their most fatal weaknesses, forcing them to enter the board, and making it impossible to break free.

And at this moment.

The entire Profound Yellow Origin Realm had no True Monarch left standing guard! Those Stabilizing Needles that usually kept the regions in check, those heavenly pillars that terrified countless factions from making reckless moves, were all trapped in All Marvelous Heaven right now, their fates unknown.

Adding to that, the news of the Celestial Court’s emergence had long been transmitted into the Heart and Spirit of every Cultivator through that sweeping Dharma Light across the Profound Yellow.

Qi Yun could almost imagine what would happen next.

Countless factions would swarm in. Countless Cultivators would scramble to enter.

Slaughter, fighting, betrayal, and scheming... all of it would frantically play out above this West Sea, within this Celestial Court, and upon this Profound Yellow land devoid of True Monarchs to suppress it.

"The Profound Yellow..." Qi Yun slowly spoke, his voice low. "...will likely usher in an unprecedented... super era of chaos."

He raised his eyes and looked toward the majestic Celestial Court, the soon-to-open South Celestial Gate, and the innumerable, faintly visible streaks of Escape Light converging from all directions. Those streaks of Escape Light were densely packed, blotting out the sky, like a passing swarm of locusts, or moths drawn to a flame.

They had no idea what happened in All Marvelous Heaven. They only knew that the Celestial Court had emerged, bearing boundless opportunities. The chance to reach the sky in a single bound was right before their eyes.

Qi Yun remained silent, watching the incoming tide of Escape Lights. Among them were cultivators of the Righteous Dao and Demon Dao, Loose Cultivators, and Sect Disciples. There were Qi Refining cultivators, Foundation Establishment cultivators, and Great Masters.

In everyone’s eyes burned the same light!

Greed. Desire. Madness.

This was the omen of a chaotic era, the beginning of the tribulation. And what those [Above the True Monarch] wanted was likely exactly this. The Profound Yellow in great chaos! The lives of the people devastated! Ultimately, leading the entire Profound Yellow Origin Realm to complete destruction.

Qi Yun stood quietly in the void, the light in his Cyan Gold eyes gradually settling.

The True Monarchs needed time. But the Profound Yellow... could not afford to wait.

Qi Yun slowly lowered his head, looking at his empty palm. But deep within his Purple Mansion, that Ming Golden List was slowly revolving.

[Gods Sealing List]

This Supreme Treasure, which had continuously evolved from the [Human Emperor Banner] and ultimately bore his ambition to rule the Divine Dao, was currently emitting a gentle yet resolute light. That light was not blazing, but like a solitary lamp in endless darkness, quietly burning.

Qi Yun remained silent for a long time. Long enough for the tide of Escape Light gathering on the horizon to draw closer and closer. Long enough for the two large Ancient Seal characters on the majestic South Celestial Gate to begin faintly glowing, as if about to open.

Finally, he raised his head.

With a flip of his palm, a scroll of the Golden List emerged from the depths of his Purple Mansion and landed in his open hand. The Golden List was not large, merely a foot long, but the moment it appeared, Qi Yun’s aura abruptly transformed! His Deep Blue Daoist Robe fluttered loudly without wind, and two blinding divine lights suddenly flared up in his Cyan Gold eyes!

Holding the Gods Sealing List, he raised his eyes to look at the Celestial Court, at the countless converging streaks of Escape Light, and at this Profound Yellow land about to face an unprecedented catastrophe.

His lips parted slightly.

His voice was not loud, yet like a thunderclap, it boomed and echoed in this void that had just witnessed a war between True Monarchs and whose shockwaves had not yet fully subsided:

"Tell the True Monarchs.

"Break the seal on All Marvelous Heaven as quickly as possible.

"The turmoil of the Profound Yellow..."

He paused. His five fingers slowly closed, gripping the Golden List tightly in his palm.

"I will suppress it!"
