Undying Volcano.

The power of Heavenly Dao relentlessly descended, suppressing everything. The initially restless Power of Fire Evil immediately subsided, and there was an endless Spiritual Rain nourishing the Primordial Land, revitalizing the barren areas.

Many Great Divine Ability practitioners were utterly puzzled. They couldn’t understand, it was clearly a feud between Xuanqing and the Phoenix Clan... Why did it suddenly involve a Chaos Demon God?

And not only did a Chaos Demon God get involved, eventually the Heavenly Dao itself intervened, and Xuanqing actually chose to suppress the Undying Volcano on behalf of the Phoenix Clan!

One twist after another, chaotic cause and effect, made them frown involuntarily.

Xuanqing and the others were even more at a loss. Xuanqing went to suppress the Undying Volcano; what should they, the Phoenix Clan, do now?

Boom!

Having lost the chance to alleviate their Karma by suppressing the Undying Volcano, a few of the Primordial Daluo Golden Immortals from the Phoenix Clan even directly transformed into Dao under the influence of Karma!

"Damn it!"

At this moment, in Xuanqing’s heart, he cursed Xuanqing a thousand times over. You forced us to leave the ancestral grounds of the Phoenix Clan just to suppress the Undying Volcano yourself?

Are you sick?

Lihuang looked at the remaining clan members, somewhat unsure: "The eruption of the Undying Volcano, the giant egg of the Phoenix’s Nirvana, the phoenix tree, all have disappeared. What should our Phoenix Clan do next?"

The Undying Volcano, sealed by the force of Heavenly Dao and further suppressed by the "Ding of Heaven and Earth", has become forbidden ground. They cannot return now!

"Where are the Saints?"

Heavenly Phoenix felt it was a bit strange.

Initially, when the Curse Demon God and Reincarnation Demon God appeared, several Saints took action to suppress them.

But now, with the Destiny Demon God sealed together with Xuanqing, the Power of Fire Evil in the Undying Volcano appeased, and the matter seemingly settled... why haven’t those Saints appeared to stabilize the situation?

This is not normal!

And just as many beings of the Primordial were curious where the Saints had gone, those Saints were surrounding a figure in a red robe.

This here is the Daoist of Fate, having opened up his own timeline with the power of Fate, existing outside the Three Realms, said to be beyond all worlds.

The Saints exhausted all their techniques, but the Daoist of Fate was surrounded by a mysterious power of fate, making the Saints’ moves deviate from their intended paths.

The Daoist of Fate looked at the Saints and chuckled, "Among you, only Nuwa is a complete Primordial Chaos being, but she too can’t control her own fate, how could she possibly harm my true self?"

The Saints’ faces were ashen.

They had never encountered such a bizarre opponent. No matter what technique they used, it was all anticipated by him; their Divine Skills simply couldn’t touch him.

Of course, he couldn’t hurt them either!

After clashing for so long, destroying countless multiverses and breaking numerous timelines, it was as if they were fighting the air.

Only Yuanshi Tianzun and Zhunti Daoist, the two Saints skilled in the Dao of cause and effect, barely glimpsed some clues from several exchanges.

But as to how to counteract the opponent’s technique, the two had no ideas for the moment.

Seeing this, the Daoist of Fate couldn’t help but chuckle, "Fellow Daoists, how do you find my Destiny Divine Power?"

Suddenly, his Taoist Body twisted, his Qi began to decline, but in just a moment, he recovered to the peak of Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal.

"Interesting!"

The changes in him were naturally caused by the Daoist of Run, even though they seem like two beings, their Great Dao was interconnected.

Originally, if Xuanqing were to inherit the Dao Fruit of Destiny Demon God, they would have merged into one and used this opportunity to break free from the shackles of Chaos Demon Gods.

But regrettably...

Xuanqing only wanted to inherit half.

Moreover, the persistence of the Daoist of Run also supported Xuanqing in contesting with him.

The face of the Daoist of Fate suddenly turned pitch black, no longer wanting to continue with the Saints, he immediately threw the Saints out of this timeline.

"Run!"

He didn’t expect that he would restrain the Saints for the Daoist of Run, but in the end, the Daoist of Run betrayed him.

Boom!

The void shook violently, timelines coiled, as the Daoist of Fate and the Saints, one following the other, returned to the Primordial Land, instantly causing various anomalies to appear in the Primordial.

The Daoist of Fate merely glanced at the Undying Volcano and vanished without a trace; there, a barrier had been set by the supreme force of Heavenly Dao.

And as soon as the Saints returned to the Primordial Land, by deducing the secrets of heaven, they also learned what changes had happened during their absence.

The face of Jieyin Daoist changed drastically, and he immediately stopped in front of the Tongtian Sect Master, "Tongtian Daoist, your disciple, who borrowed my Green Lotus Treasure Color Flag, has also been sealed into the Undying Volcano, shouldn’t you give me an explanation?"

"Explanation?"

Tongtian Sect Master’s lips twitched slightly, but he still maintained his composure, "What explanation? It wasn’t I who borrowed your Green Lotus Treasure Color Flag!"

"Besides, I know my disciple well, once he comes])* out of the Undying Volcano, he will definitely return the Green Lotus Treasure Color Flag back to you!"

He also didn’t expect the capabilities of the Daoist of Run to be so odd, linking his own fate with that of all beings of Primordial Land, even Heavenly Dao hesitated to act against him.

And Xuanqing’s actions also puzzled him; even if he had to accept the Dao Fruit of the Destiny Demon God, why bind himself in such a way?

He certainly didn’t think, without a reason, Xuanqing would think of supplanting the Phoenix Clan to suppress the Undying Volcano.

But rather, Taiching Laozi appeared thoughtful, "That lad Xuanqing, has great wisdom! I’m sure he would not do those useless things!"

Jieyin Daoist directly activated]][the Dream Great Dao, trying to contact Xuanqing, but Xuanqing didn’t respond at all, naturally, he couldn’t forcibly pull him into the dream.

The Dream Great Dao is not omnipotent, if a Primordial Golden Immortal resists, even with cause and effect entanglements, it is difficult to pull them into one’s dream.

Suddenly, Yuanshi Tianzun had an inspiration, "That guy, isn’t he aiming for the Ding of Heaven and Earth after all! If he’s suppressing the Undying Volcano, then why drag the Ding of Heaven and Earth to suppress it together?"

If Xuanqing is willing to accept the Fate Demon God Dao Fruit, with his own abilities, he could subdue the Undying Volcano without needing to use the "Qiankun Cauldron", but he deliberately added the Innate Treasure "Qiankun Cauldron" to his Heavenly Dao oath, which led Yuanshi Tianzun to have a bold speculation!

"It’s not impossible!"

Lady Nuwa laughed and said, "That kid always waits to see the rabbit before releasing the hawk. If there is no benefit in it, I don’t believe he would take the initiative to do it!"

"Just wait and see!"

"His Heavenly Dao oath seems to be like that of Ksitigarbha, but I don’t believe he intends to stay in the Undying Volcano forever like Ksitigarbha!"

"If Hell is not empty, he vows not to become a Buddha—sounds difficult, but what if Hell were empty?"

"If the Fire Evil is not extinguished, it will forever suppress the volcano—it seems impossible, but what if the Fire Evil were extinguished?"

Lady Nuwa’s words instantly enlightened both Jieyin Daoist and Tongtian Sect Master; the Heavenly Dao oath seems difficult, but it’s not without loopholes!

If Houtu temporarily halts the operation of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, and Jieyin Daoist relocates the souls from the Underworld, wouldn’t Ksitigarbha’s grand vow be fulfilled?

Similarly, if Xuanqing has a way, or if Tongtian Sect Master has a way, to resolve the Fire Evil issue, then Xuanqing’s grand vow could also be fulfilled!

"Let’s wait and see!"

After dropping these words, Jieyin Daoist immediately returned to the West with Zhunti Daoist.

The Saints also dispersed.

Meanwhile, within the Undying Volcano, Xuanqing was integrating the Dao Fruit of the Wayfarer, while using its power to refine the "Qiankun Cauldron."

"All things under heaven can be refined!"

"This Qiankun Cauldron, like the Twelve Grade Destructive Black Lotus and the Twelve Grade Purifying World White Lotus, originated from the splitting of the essence of the Chaos Green Lotus!"

"One could say they share the same origin!"

"And I, who cultivate the Refining Dao, if I could refine this cauldron, with its compatibility with the Refining Dao, it would be most suitable for slashing the Third Corpse!"

Among the Three Corpses, the Corpse of Self is the hardest to eliminate, also known as the Corpse of Attachment. But Xuanqing has already, with the help of his avatar, recognized and perfected his true self, and contemplated the Method of Self developed by Shennong. Concerning the elimination of the Third Corpse, he is quite confident.

He lacks the capability to refine a complete Fate Demon God Dao Fruit, but half of the Fate Demon God Dao Fruit could possibly be refined with the help of the Innate Treasure "Qiankun Cauldron" combined with the Refining Great Dao.

After all...

The Innate Treasure, in terms of status, is equivalent to a Saint, equivalent to a Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal, as the "Qiankun Cauldron" also originated from a Chaos Treasure.

It is absolutely extraordinary.

Regarding self-binding to suppress the Undying Volcano in place of the Phoenix Clan, it was merely his strategy to utilize the power of the Heavenly Dao to eliminate interferences affecting him!

Boom!

He had accepted the gift from the Wayfarer and was utilizing the power of the Fate Demon God Dao Fruit, gradually imprinting his own mark onto the "Qiankun Cauldron."

By himself, he is insufficient to fully refine an Innate Treasure, just like his Good Corpse, which hasn’t fully refined the "Chaos Bell" after many eons.

But now, with the enhancement from the Fate Demon God Dao Fruit, his power is comparable to a Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal, naturally providing him the capability to refine an Innate Treasure.

"Fortune moves along narrow confines of earth and heaven; the sea of fate oscillates cleansing the stubborn body. Through darkened paths flowers bloom, and the journey becomes clear; wishing to tread upon the stars, clouds roll into dust. Others’ Dao Fruits become fuel; now again the cauldron tempers primal truth!"

Xuanqing burst into laughter, directly grasped the "Qiankun Cauldron," and instantly refined it.

Boom!

The treasure resisted with its consciousness, but to no avail, as the power emitted by Xuanqing securely bound it in the void.

Then, the "Qiankun Cauldron" rapidly shrank, floated in front of Xuanqing, and he instantly transformed into a stream of light, leaping into the "Qiankun Cauldron."

Of course, Xuanqing did not forget to suppress the Undying Volcano. The Daoism flowed over the Innate Five Elements Flag, directly transforming the Undying Volcano into a Five Elements Furnace.

As the Five Elements circulated, the dense Fire Evil power was instantly converted into pure Fire Attribute Innate Spiritual Energy, continuously pouring into the "Qiankun Cauldron."

"Cauldron tempers primal truth, ten thousand laws without fault!"

The Refining Dao is for refining all things and can naturally be used to temper oneself. As Xuanqing tempered himself with the "Qiankun Cauldron," he also utilized the Fate Demon God’s Dao Fruit, re-examining his cultivation journey, correcting past mistakes made on the path.

The Fate Demon God’s Dao Fruit allowed Xuanqing to possess a vision akin to that of a Saint, now reviewing his path as if from a lofty vantage point.

Even very minor errors were now obvious in his eyes; as he corrected them bit by bit, his Dao Fruit also became increasingly perfect.

Ten thousand laws without fault!

His physical body burst forth a dazzling radiance, his mana surged like Chaos Waves, and his Primordial Spirit seemed akin to the ascension of a Multiverse.

However, the Fate Demon God’s Dao Fruit also, in an instant, overlaid his own Dao Fruit.

"Slash!"

At a critical moment, he directly used the "Qiankun Cauldron" as a basis to cut out his Self Corpse, along with his understanding of Self, forming the Corpse of Self.

Simultaneously, he leveraged the void nature of his fate, activating a profound divine skill.

"Defying Fate!"

In an instant, the Self Corpse merged with his true self, as if it had never been cut out, but as long as Xuanqing willed it, the Self Corpse could instantly replace the true self.

The Three Corpses should be vassals of the true self, but Xuanqing used the void nature of his fate, combined with the Fate Dao, to blur this concept.

"What defines me as I am, is the concept of true self; the Self is me, the true Self is also me, but only the self cultivated in the Refining Dao is the real me!"

He indeed inherited half of the Fate Demon God’s Dao Fruit, constituting half a Fate Demon God, with the Wayfarer’s approach also succeeding halfway.

But as soon as the Three Corpses unite, Self and true Self becoming one and transforming into the real Self, blending good and evil thoughts, he could in turn refine the Fate Demon God.

In that moment, the Fate Demon God would become his past, and he would become the unshackled Fate Demon God!

The cause turned into result!

He wasn’t incapable, was he?
