Chapter 818: Chapter 813: Advance 3

Once reaching Planet Level, many Heavenly Venerable beings can actually refine planet-destroying weapons.

At Constellation Level, the refined planet-destroying weapons possess the power to obliterate the Mortal Realm and ordinary planets in one strike.

Further up, at Galactic Level, such beings are revered as the closest to the Taoist Ancestor.

Such beings are exceedingly rare, with only two existing in the entire Star Domain.

However, these two have been dormant for a very long time.

Perhaps they are comprehending the mysteries of the Taoist Ancestor, or maybe they have succumbed to slumber; no one knows. There are too many Heavenly Venerable beings in the Star Domain, who, in their pursuit of enlightenment, rarely send avatars to the Lower Realm, choosing instead to let their divine consciousness roam the infinite cosmos, experiencing reincarnation and sensing ultimate truths.

Such Heavenly Venerables are known as Seekers of the Path.

Among them is the Hall Master of the stars, who is one of the Seekers of the Path.

He excels in calculation, and this time he calculated that his opportunity lies within this Great Catastrophe, thus he willingly left the state of being a Seeker of the Path, planning to descend to the Lower Realm.

"Soon, I shall descend to the Lower Realm. Then I shall see what the Great Saint’s vitality truly is."

He believes his divine soul has reached the state of being undefiled and indestructible, colorless and shapeless, and is only a step away from becoming a Taoist Ancestor.

His stars have already condensed into planets, surrounding his main star, forming a miniature Solar System.

As long as he comprehends the mysteries of the Galactic Core of the Milky Way, he can truly be reborn and step onto the path of the Taoist Ancestor!

And in the depths of his mind, he faintly calculates that this Great Catastrophe holds the opportunity to help him achieve the status of Taoist Ancestor.

"Sherie Divine Monarch? Haha... If it were Jiu Se Divine Lord, I might be apprehensive."

"Among these Great Saints, Wei Ning is the weakest, followed by Feng Panjun, then dealing with Xing Pengfei, Lin Sherie, and as for Jiu Se and Fang Yu... In this Great Catastrophe, I shall first seize all obtainable vitalities!"

With a sweep of his divine consciousness, countless runes instantly condensed, manifesting a deep, dark passage in the Star Domain.

In an instant, a silver figure flickered past and disappeared into the passage.

After he left, the other Heavenly Venerables gradually recovered from their silence.

"Even a Seeker of the Path has emerged... It seems this Great Catastrophe is truly extraordinary..."

"Actually... So far, has anyone figured out what this Great Catastrophe truly is?"

"Perhaps the Taoist Ancestors understand."

The Army Master of Heavenly Demons mobilized Void Demon Spirits to attack the Cultivation World comprehensively, attempting to annihilate all beings except Demon Spirits.

This seems to be a forewarning.

*********************

Dragon Queen was trembling.

She clutched her planet-destroying weapon and stared blankly at the desolate wasteland before her.

The lingering terrifying aura still barely recognizable.

Dark Mark King’s avatar, Mermaid Giantess Black Sea Queen, Full Spirit Deer Wang Zhu, and Corpse Giant Geru.

Any of these four could dominate in the Shadow Realm, unrestrained except by the Taoist Ancestor.

But now, she felt none of their emotions on this land, except fear.

Before she arrived, she remotely sensed a massive, powerful energy explosion here.

But upon arrival, the place was eerily quiet.

"Four Heavenly Venerable avatars..."

Dragon Queen was impulsive but not foolish. On the contrary, she was very smart. In the past two Great Catastrophes, she quickly aligned with the strong side, thus finding an opportunity to survive.

This time was no exception. She stood behind Fang Yu from the start, becoming his capable assistant.

With her powerful top-tier Heavenly Venerable strength, she helped Fang Yu overcome many challenges.

But now...

She felt slightly shaken for the first time.

Four Heavenly Venerables, all ancient avatars, using planet-destroying weapons yet still being killed swiftly.

Even the master could barely achieve this extent.

"Sherie Divine Monarch..."

She squinted her eyes, no longer showing previous anger and fury, as if a different person emerging in solitude, calm and composed.

********************

On the other side in the Shadow Path.

Taoist Lord Melting Metal’s arms transformed into a bronze color, with rune-formed Golden Dragon patterns slowly reflecting on the surface.

A Heavenly Venerable Star Pattern Formation appeared behind him, with countless life and mountain sea void shadows faintly flashing within.

"Die!!"

Clearly, he used his full strength.

His arms swung up and smashed down fiercely.

The immense power shook, collapsing the small mountain below the Shadow Realm.

A wild-haired man with a giant worm-like body screamed, his snake-like hundreds of meters body flailing madly but unable to withstand Taoist Lord Melting Metal’s terrifying power.

Being crushed step by step, flattened until turned into a thin sheet, motionless.

Taoist Lord Melting Metal wiped the sweat off his forehead.

Solving this Heavenly Venerable avatar took a considerable effort.

Though he is a top-tier Heavenly Venerable, solving several Heavenly Venerable reptiles in a short time was highly exhaustive.

"Taoist Lord should take a rest. Let us handle the next,"

Two twin female cultivators stepped forward from behind Taoist Lord Melting Metal, speaking softly.

They are Heavenly Venerables of the Heavenly Alliance, Soft Water Princess and Beautiful Water Princess, though not top-tier, merely ordinary planet-level; as auxiliary forces they are formidable.

"I wonder how Sherie Divine Monarch and Guanyin Bodhisattva’s sides are progressing?" Taoist Lord Melting Metal said without declining.

This grand war of conquest ultimately hinges on their high-level combat forces; Dao soldiers are only for occupying territory and clearing remnants.

Victory depends on Heavenly Venerables.

"The isolation in the Shadow Path is very strong, we received no notifications along the way, but it shouldn’t be a problem. As long as we pass through the Shadow Path, all will be well," Soft Water Princess smiled, as they are Heavenly Venerable avatars from the Illusory Sea Polar Region, always having good relations with Green Lake Mountain.

"And the other two routes have corresponding support too. Taoist Lord only needs to manage this side," Beautiful Water Princess said coolly.

Her temperament is relatively aloof.

"Very well." Taoist Lord Melting Metal nodded, preparing to retreat and rest among the army.

Whoosh...

Suddenly, fierce winds rose from the originally gray sky, churning the ground’s debris into gray sandstorms.

The entire world became extraordinarily dark.

"Who’s there!?"

Both princesses shouted simultaneously, each holding a lute and a jade zither.

"Heavenly Alliance sent such trash?"

Countless sandstorms coalesced, swiftly forming a towering figure.

With chiseled features, a loose black robe, and black hair draped over shoulders, he was a cold-looking man.

Black vine-like patterns crawled over his skin, like a transmission formation of some power. Exuding a demonic-like aura.

"Fang Yu!!"

Taoist Lord Melting Metal’s expression changed instantly.

Hearing the name, both princesses became serious.

The title of the strongest Shadow Demon Great Sage is not easily borne. As a key figure in Shadow City, Fang Yu’s presence here means Shadow City’s first target is this route.

The name sent all strongholds behind the Taoist Lord into alertness.

If anyone commands fear in the present Void within Shadow City, it’s Fang Yu.

His terrifying innate divine ability allows killing one avatar to simultaneously destroy all others, including the main body.

This involves causality and the cosmic rules of soul movement’s Lotus of terror.

Heavenly Venerables cannot resist.

Such a dangerous figure deserves utmost caution.

"Fang Yu, showing up early, are you fearing our army merging?" Taoist Lord Melting Metal being a top-tier Heavenly Venerable, exhibited no fear.

The Great Saint is formidable, but it targets Earth Immortals, less so Heavenly Venerables, perhaps ordinary Heavenly Venerables might fear the Great Saints, but not him.

"With you, challenging Shadow City?" Fang Yu smirked. "Ignorance."

He raised a hand, intricate Star Pattern Formation densely lit up behind him, as if dozens of Heavenly Venerables gathered strength simultaneously.

"Seeking death!"

Taoist Lord Melting Metal grabbed a black jade Ruyi from the air, shook it gently.

"Micro Jade Point!"

He aimed the jade Ruyi at Fang Yu, a streak of green light shot faster than lightning, hitting Fang Yu.

Instantly, the hit part began jade transformation, skin swiftly turned green and translucent.

Fang Yu, face indifferent, wiped the struck area, clearing it flawlessly.

"Useless....."

He vanished, teleporting before Taoist Lord Melting Metal.

"Infinite Power."

He darted past all, then sheathed his short blade, drifting away.

Time around twisted sharply.

Within thousands of meters radius, everything contorted fiercely.

Fang Yu lifted the short blade, glanced at its pattern, silent, moving away.

"Wait! Wait! What did you do!!?"

A strained voice called from behind.

"Hmm?"

Fang Yu turned, puzzled.

Snap!!!

All Heavenly Alliance cultivators exploded, blood spurting from every pore.

The twin Heavenly Venerables vanished like phantoms.

Amid the blood rain, Taoist Lord Melting Metal clutched his chest, his heart bleeding profusely.

Aging rapidly, weakly

The jade Ruyi planet-destroying weapon cracked slowly.

Wide-eyed, Taoist Lord Melting Metal was in disbelief.

With mere casual strike, a top-tier Heavenly Venerable suffered such injuries.

Unaware of Fang Yu’s method.

"What is happening!?"

He doubted; in long cultivation practice, how Fang Yu injured him.

All seemed blurry, sudden.

No large Dao techniques, no causality rules; just that blink.

All strong forces in the army unexpectedly collapsed.

"Your essence is strong."

Fang Yu turned, finally truly seeing Taoist Lord Melting Metal.
