Chapter 909: Chapter 17: Battle of the Gods [Vote for Monthly Tickets!]

The great Dao of the world, profound beyond measure, the gateway to all wonders.

It can be simply understood as the fundamental rules that construct everything in the world, and it is also the basis of all cultivation and divine skills. All divine skill methods are derived from the minute details of the Dao.

Daoist rite permeates between heaven and earth, omnipresent. Those who observe it achieve divine skills, and those who touch it pursue the Dao. If one could gain the approval of a great Dao, that would make them a Daoist Master Tianyuan, already a rare and powerful existence of the Eighth Realm. Yet another step upward is even more difficult and elusive, the Tongxuan, to become one with the Dao.

From the perspective of the Dao, reaching the Ninth Realm is almost an undying and indestructible state. But from the standpoint of the origin of life, even those of the Ninth Realm have a finite lifespan.

Too much time has passed to know of Saint Li, Saint Yang had a lifespan of less than a thousand years. The Human Clan is intelligent but naturally short-lived, perhaps a sort of balance within the heavenly Dao. This also compels those who have reached the Ninth Realm to seek a path beyond, to not remain in the Mortal Realm forever.

This might also be the reason why cultivators of the Eighth and Ninth Realm in their twilight years are all drawn to Shenxu.

And the Demon God Origin that has survived for three thousand years also took advantage of its original form. The Heaven Devouring Beast, as a spirit beast, naturally has a long lifespan. So much so that even when its physical body dissolved and its godly soul shattered, its origin didn’t dissipate and has endured thousands of years of erosion within Demon Suppression Tower without perishing.

This is probably why the Demonic Clan has always tried to summon back the Demon God, and why Shenxu Temple has not taken action. Because the origin of life has not been extinguished, it doesn’t count as strict death.

As for those ancient Ninth Realm beings, their origins have already faded away. Even if resurrected through reuniting with the Dao, they would fundamentally be different.

After the disappearance of the Demon Suppression Tower of Shu Mountain, the Demon God Origin underwent some unknown experience and remained silent for five hundred years. It wasn’t until a few years ago that it returned, still lying in wait.

Because it was in its weakest phase, to this world, it was no longer invincible.

It was supposed to be the followers of the Demon God to complete the task of renewing the Heaven Devouring Beast, but when everything was within reach, the followers’ power turned out to be insufficient.

Finally, the Demon God Origin acted.

Even at the weakest moment in its life, the origin power of the Ninth Realm was still enough to shock the world, and it effortlessly pierced through the defenses of the Sky-north Prison and shone upon the body of Demon King Yi in an instant.

Shoo—

Enveloped in golden light, Demon King Yi’s orifices emanated divine brilliance in a flash, and his bones cracked and popped. His entire body straightened up, and an indescribable majesty enveloped the area.

The weaker prison guards behind him couldn’t help but kneel and bow down, unable to look directly at the divine light.

Even Qu Hu and Immortal Yuan Lu of the Eighth Realm fell to the ground, overwhelmed by divine power.

Chu Liang could feel Tuntun suddenly tighten its grip on his hand. The emergence of this light seemed to make it very nervous.

Snap.

After the light receded, Demon King Yi’s body was the first to crack, a line of blood emerged.

This was due to incompatibility of the body; the reason why every Ninth Realm resurrection requires a sufficiently strong body with a similar bloodline is precisely this. The origin of life of the Ninth Realm is too powerful, and an ordinary body simply cannot contain it, even the body of Demon King Yi at the Peak of the Eighth Realm, acting as a vessel, is extremely dangerous.

But if it could hold on for just a short while, that would be enough.

The "Demon King Yi," glimmering with golden light, walked forward, and where he passed, the people couldn’t even muster the thought to resist, completely immobilized.

He was like walking in another dimension, passing through what seemed like a still image, and in the blink of an eye, arrived in front of Tuntun, towering over it with a trace of fondness in his eyes.

Then he reached out a finger and pointed it at Tuntun’s forehead.

Kill.

Boom!

...

The whole world was waiting for the appearance of a god.

Not just the descendants of the Demonic Clan, but the Righteous Path of the Human Clan as well. After the arrival of the Demon God, Chu Liang had made no move because he knew his mission was already complete.

In fact, under the assault of the Demonic Clan, the plans of the Righteous Path of the Human Clan had been disrupted somewhat, and it was Chu Liang’s exceptional performance that dragged everything back to its original path.

A god descends.

It took action against Tuntun.

Then...

This finger did not land on Tuntun, because her tiny body suddenly emitted a white halo, which spun around a few times and expanded, covering a quite large area around her.

In the blink of an eye, the "Demon King Yi," shimmering with golden light, had been pulled into another domain.

This was a world full of void and nothingness.

And that halo had expanded to the edges of the heavens and earth, through which one could see the light and shadows outside, the vast faces of Tuntun and Chu Liang, as well as the huge walls of Sky-north Prison...

"Universe Ring..."

For the first time, the Demon God uttered its voice, devoid of any emotion, as if simply stating a simple fact.

Indeed.

This is the world within the Universe Ring!

Chu Liang was not worried about Tuntun’s safety because he knew that the little one had always been carrying this Divine Artifact. If anyone dared to attack her, they would immediately be pulled into this world.

The reason for his strong resistance earlier was that if Demon King Yi had attacked Tuntun, then this arrangement would have been exposed, rendering all the hard work meaningless.

Now, this world has finally awaited the arrival of its destined visitor.

At the end of the world, a phantom appeared, also enveloped in golden light, resembling Buddha. And that phantom bore the face of Venerable Wanfa.

"Is this the power of the sacred?" Venerable Wanfa’s voice was distant like thunder, "Even the Universe Ring can hardly withstand it."

At the point where the Demon God stood, the surrounding dark void was illuminated, and cracks spread out from time to time only to be immediately repaired by the Spiritual Power of the Divine Artifact.

Were it not for Venerable Wanfa’s constant support, this world would have shattered under the power of the Demon God within moments.

It hadn’t even taken action yet!

Boom—

On the other side of the world, a grand astrolabe engulfed in divine light appeared, seemingly supporting the entire dome of the starry sky. Upon it, the Milky Way flowed, surrounding stars glittered, radiating the terrifying Spiritual Power of the endless starry sky.

Heavenly King Sect, Ten Thousand Treasures Record number six, Wang Jiang astrolabe!

In the center of the astrolabe stood a tall woman dressed in a purple robe, with a speck of gold sand on her forehead, and eyes harboring constellations. She stood with her hands in a seal, seemingly ten zhang tall at a distance.

It was indeed the Sect Master of the Heavenly King Sect, Wenren Yue.

She was born in the Sea King Sect, her elder brother Wenren Jiao being the current Sect Master of Sea King Sect. But because she was an extraordinary talent since childhood, outshining her peers, the Sea King Sect did not want to bury her potential and hence sent this prodigy to cultivate at the Heavenly King Sect.

She had indeed grown into the ruler of the Nine Heavens, wielding the authority of the Daoist Master Ziwei, and she was also the most important "king’s position" on the Wang Jiang astrolabe.

At her side revolved three Eighth Realm cultivators of the Heavenly King Sect. Further out were more than a dozen Seventh Realm cultivators, each in charge of a General Star Bead on the Wang Jiang astrolabe.

If any of them were to face the Demon God alone, they might not even be able to stand. However, bolstered by the Wang Jiang astrolabe, their spirits rose fearlessly in the face of divine pressure!

As the Wang Jiang astrolabe ascended, a huge Divine Sword phantom rose at the opposite end of the world. The sword’s body seemed to be engraved with the divine light of the universe; seven stars sparkled brightly, and merely unsheathing it shook the universe with an awe-inspiring might.

Behind the sword was the figure of the Tianshu Pavilion Master, Immortal Wulou.

And thus, the name of the sword was also self-evident, Ten Thousand Treasures Record number two, Seven-Star Divine Sword!

Behind the Demon God, a Heavenly Palace with thousands of swords hanging in the air slowly emerged. Beneath the palace, a Bronze Divine Boat was conveyed. With its sharp ancient aura, it pressed towards the Demon God.

At the prow of the Divine Boat stood Master Wen Yuan, and manipulating the hilt of the Bai Emperor Holy Sword within the cabin was Daoist Yan of Biluo Peak.

Ten Thousand Treasures Record number eight, Shu Mountain Divine Boat!

As Shu Mountain’s strongest combatant, Baize paradoxically did not join the battle, because whether the God Slayer was successful or not, Baize would remain crucial for Shu Mountain’s survival. As long as she was there for a day, Shu Mountain would have a day of security. Thus, for this unpredictable battle of life and death, Master Wen Yuan insisted on leading the battle himself, leaving Baize to guard the home.

Inside this world separated by the Universe Ring, lies an ambush from all sides, with a tremendous lineup.

Divine Artifact against Demon God...

This is a genuine battle of gods!
