Boom!

In an instant, blossom rained disorderly from the sky, golden lotuses surged from the earth, various extraordinary phenomena manifesting. A vast power of the Heavenly Dao instantly blessed the body of Zhi Ming Saint.

No!

Now, he should be called Tai Xuan Saint!

"Myriad Tribulations Chessboard!"

Tai Xuan bellowed, and a chessboard flew out from his celebratory clouds in an instant, the power of the Heavenly Dao pouring into it. The three hundred sixty-one chess pieces on the board suddenly transformed into three hundred sixty-one divine generals, comparable to Daluo Golden Immortals, each wielding various Spiritual Treasures, slaughtering towards the falling fragments of the Thirty-Three Heavens above the vault of heaven.

As for Tai Xuan himself, he fiercely opened his mouth to swallow, and the power of Yin Yang Taiji formed an abyss that instantly engulfed the Ruishui River water of the Heavenly River.

"Excellent strategy!"

Jieyin Daoist couldn’t help but glance at Tai Xuan, yet what he admired was not Tai Xuan but The Three Pure Ones who had given him the "Hongmeng Purple Qi."

He actually knew that The Three Pure Ones wanted to take control of the Heavenly Dao, eroding the mandate of the Heavenly Dao bit by bit, ultimately replacing the Daoist Ancestor of the Purple Cloud Palace.

But that Daoist Ancestor, watching changes in wind and cloud, how could he be easily dealt with?

However, the chaos caused by the Chaos Demon Gods in the Primordial World provided The Three Pure Ones with an opportunity to reasonably occupy more of the origin power of the Heavenly Dao.

Now, the Xuan Sect has four Saints, plus Xuanqing, a Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal, their strength so formidable, they are now able to wrestle with the Daoist Ancestor.

"Collect!"

With a thought from Tai Xuan, twenty-five streaks of light suddenly appeared from the endless fragments of the Heavenly Realm, the "Qiankun Ruler" and "twenty-four Ocean Stabilizing Pearls" returning to their original form after the collapse of the Heavenly Court.

Innate Spiritual Treasures contain the Innate Undying Spirit Light, naturally not so easily destroyed, but at this moment all had become battered due to the collapse of the Heavenly Realm.

Even on the verge of falling in grade!

Also, with the destruction of the Heavenly Court, Zhao Gongming’s good and evil corpses were completely turned into dust, and Zhao Gongming, far away in the Undying Volcano, suddenly felt dizzy, suffering from a severe backlash.

Especially since many of the falling fragments of the Thirty-Three Heavens landed on the Primordial Land, directly causing the death of tens of millions of creatures, and numerous mountains and spirit veins turned into nothingness, even giving rise to infinite karma, sweeping towards Zhao Gongming in the Undying Volcano in an instant.

It can be said to be a disaster out of the blue!

But there was no helping it, as among the falling Thirty-Three Heavens, twenty-four were opened by Zhao Gongming, and naturally, he could not shirk his responsibility.

Where there is cause, there must be effect!

The opening of the twenty-four levels of the Heavenly Realm was the cause, the fall of the Heavenly Realm was the effect. Every drink and peck is preordained, and the Heavenly Dao does not care who destroyed the Heavenly Realm.

Just like the Undying Volcano, initially triggered by the Fire Evil of Xuanqing, but with the Phoenix Clan’s failure to suppress, many of the Phoenix Clan still bore the karma.

"Sister Wudang!"

Wudang Saint Mother worriedly looked at Zhao Gongming, vast karma befalling him, too much to bear, both his physical body and Primordial Spirit showing trends of transforming into Dao.

However, within his spiritual platform, with the "Merit Golden Lotus" suppressing, and the "Karma Fire Red Lotus Seed" continuously absorbing karma, plus the merit accumulated before... under such colossal karmic forces, Zhao Gongming didn’t immediately return his Dao to the heaven and earth.

"From death springs life!"

Zhao Gongming endured the sharp pain from his Primordial Spirit, the destruction of his good and evil corpses, and the vast amount of karma, nearly making him fall from the Daluo Realm.

However, the "Karma Fire Red Lotus Seed" began to use the karma on him as nourishment, sprouting roots and buds, aiming to birth a new "Karma Fire Red Lotus."

Thus, kept his life hanging by a thread.

He lingered on the edge of transforming into Dao, every time karma eroded his Primordial Spirit, the "Merit Golden Lotus" would again protect his True Spirit.

"Fortune relies upon misfortune, and misfortune hides within fortune, this is the price!" Zhao Gongming realized, he never thought before, that his great merit of opening the Heavenly Realm would also bring about the retribution of the karmic force of the Heavenly Dao.

"Merit is a price, karma is also a price, everything, everything has already been priced, and all the myriad things between heaven and earth can be traded!"

In the terror of life and death, between the turn of merit and karma, he gained a completely new understanding of the Innate Dao of transactions.

So much so, he didn’t even notice, the newly bloomed "Karma Fire Red Lotus" constantly evolving.

Third Grade!

Sixth Grade!

Ninth Grade!

Until becoming the "Ninth Grade Karma Fire Red Lotus," it stopped absorbing more karma. As the Spiritual Treasure is unique, with the "Twelfth Grade Karma Fire Red Lotus" in existence, ninth grade is the limit this lotus seed could reach.

Although there was still plenty of karma, at this moment, Zhao Gongming was no longer in danger of perishing.

However, after Zhao Gongming fell into sudden enlightenment, he evolved an Acquired Dao and used it as a foundation, fusing with other Daos he had cultivated before.

Trade Dao!

This Dao was not as ethereal as the Immortal Dao or as profound as the Divine Dao, and the mighty beings with karma linked to him, all frowned in a moment.

The core of this Dao is the Innate Dao of transaction and Innate Karma Dao; as long as there is karma, as long as one has enough chips, anything can be exchanged, even cultivation realms.

...

On the other side, after the fusion of the Greedy, Chen Nu, and Deluded Chaos Demon Gods, their strength soared, placing immense pressure on Yuanshi Tianzun.

Because, at this moment, it wasn’t just him alone, in addition to Tongtian Sect Master and Xuanqing, the two Earth Dao Saints Jieyin Daoist and Zhunti Daoist, and the newly Enlightened Tai Xuan, as well as Nuwa who was cultivating in the Taixu Heaven, all converged above the vault of the Primordial World’s heaven.

The collapse of the Heavenly Court alarmed both the Heavenly and Earth Daos, for the stability of the Primordial World, they could no longer just be bystanders.

Although that Daoist Ancestor did not appear, the Heavenly Dao continuously descended Heavenly Punishments, evolving a world of thunder to suppress the combined three great Demon Gods.

The three great Demon Gods were no match.

Xuanqing took advantage of their distraction with Tongtian Sect Master to unleash another "Mother-Child Creation Divine Light," making all the saints involuntarily shudder.

This inhuman Divine Skill, even if it did not fall upon oneself, felt like a thorn in the back.

"Ah!"

The Chaos Demon God with three heads and six arms let out a wail, instantly fleeing towards the barriers of the Primordial Land, with no desire to be mobbed by the saints of the Primordial.

As for the part of Origin Power he left behind, it was collected by Xuanqing into the "Refining Dao Furnace," transforming it into fragments of the Great Dao of the three Chaos Demon Gods.

Just as Xuanqing and the others were about to pursue, Luo Hou’s will suddenly appeared, decisively detonating the "Heavenly Demon Tower" and the "Investiture of the Gods" that had been corroded by Demonic Qi!

"How dare you!"

Yuanshi Tianzun was furious, of course.

Tongtian Sect Master’s face also changed instantly.

"Why would I not dare?"

Luo Hou’s will sneered coldly; he had always acted without taboos and would stop at nothing, so why would he care about the feelings of Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian Sect Master?

This time, he indeed miscalculated!

He did not expect that his own true body would be trapped in the "Primordial Demon Realm" by Taiching, without any chance to reverse-refine the Primordial.

Moreover, The Three Pure Ones took advantage of his plan to help Tai Xuan achieve enlightenment, resulting in the collapse of the Heavenly Realm, but the Heavenly Dao welcomed one more Heavenly Dao Saint.

Seeing this, Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian Sect Master hurriedly abandoned the merged form of the three great Demon Gods and turned to grab at the two Spiritual Treasures in Luo Hou’s hand.

Boom!

But the actions of the two were a step too late, the "Heavenly Demon Tower" and "Investiture of the Gods" exploded at the same time, and the force of destruction instantly filled the surrounding area.

This level of might could not harm the two Heavenly Dao Saints, but the three people from Nanji within the "Heavenly Demon Tower," having had their mana sealed by Kui Gang earlier, were instantly destroyed physically, leaving only a trace of Primordial Spirit.

And this was the result of Yuanshi Tianzun promptly employing the power of the Heavenly Dao to protect them; otherwise, they might have perished on the spot.

The situation on Tongtian Sect Master’s side was even worse; with the collapse of the "Investiture of the Gods," all the gods listed in it suffered severe backlash.

These divine positions, rooted in the fundamental power of heaven and earth, were meant to maintain the balance and stability of heaven and earth, containing extremely powerful Origin Power.

At this moment, as the divine positions collapsed, it was akin to a cultivator’s Dantian being shattered, with the Dao Foundation crumbling; those below the Daluo Realm perished along with the collapse of the divine positions.

Daluo Golden Immortals, such as the Feathered Immortal, Luo Xuan, Lv Yue, and others, although not at risk of losing their lives, suffered severe Dao injuries to their Primordial Spirits.

At the moment of the "Investiture of the Gods" collapse, the gods also regained their sanity, but what followed was the gods of the Heavenly Court falling like stars.

Those fallen Immortal Gods were not only disciples of Jie Sect but also from the Human Race, Dragon Clan, Phoenix Clan, and some Loose Cultivators who had cultivated through the fortunes of the Heavenly Court.

"No!"

Candle Dragon found it difficult to accept.

Those who joined the Heavenly Court were the emerging talents of the Dragon Clan, aimed at restoring its prosperity.

"Reverse!"

He even tried to activate the Power of Time to reverse the situation and change history, but the Power of Time was a taboo, and how could the Heavenly Dao allow it?

Awaiting him were several Heavenly Dao’s powers condensed into "Purple Cloud Divine Thunder!"

Boom!

The Heavenly Dao suppresses the river of time and space to prevent Daluo from altering history. Although Candle Dragon is a Primordial Golden Immortal, he is still insignificant in front of the Heavenly Dao.

Just as Xuanqing and others were about to enter the Chaos to eliminate threats like the Greedy Demon God, the voice of Daoist Ancestor Hong Jun suddenly resonated in their ears: "Do not chase the desperate, all saints hasten to Purple Cloud Palace!"

Nuwa and Tai Xuan were both taken aback. Tongtian Sect Master and Yuanshi Tianzun frowned deeply. Even Taiching, who was in the Demon Realm, received the transmission.

In fact, Jieyin and Zhunti also heard it, but they had betrayed the Heavenly Dao and joined the Earth Dao; to them, the Purple Cloud Palace was tantamount to a dragon’s den and tiger’s lair, a forbidden place that even the Saints feared.

Naturally, they would not go.

Xuanqing heard this and sneered. He wanted to see what trick Daoist Ancestor Hong Jun was playing. When he needed to appear, he pretended to be deaf; when he shouldn’t appear, he insisted on making his presence felt!

The saints exchanged glances, no longer pursuing the Greedy Demon God and the others. Instead, they each used their Divine Skills to travel towards the location of the Purple Cloud Palace.

And in the Demon Realm, Taiching, who received the summons, no longer entangled with Luo Hou. Instead, he transformed the "Far Shore Golden Bridge" and returned to the Primordial.

Soon, everyone arrived together at the Purple Cloud Palace.

Taiching, Yuanshi Tianzun, Tongtian Sect Master, Nuwa, and Tai Xuan were all Heavenly Dao Saints, leaving only Xuanqing somewhat out of place.

Hong Jun seemed indifferent to the saints’ expressions but turned to Xuanqing and said, "Congratulations to Daoist for casting off your chains and successfully passing the Tribulation of Creating Dao!"

"Daoist Ancestor is too kind!"

Xuanqing responded coldly.

His former self naturally knew Hong Jun but had not interacted with him much.

However, after his transmigration into the Primordial, he felt that Hong Jun had interfered with his fate numerous times; perhaps the other party had long discovered the anomaly in him.

Hong Jun was not perturbed and merely smiled, "The Heavenly Court has collapsed, the gods perished, order ceased to exist, this time I have called upon all of you to discuss the great matter of Divine Enthronement!"

Before the words fell, the power of the Heavenly Dao flashed, and the "Investiture of the Gods," previously destroyed by Luo Hou, appeared intact within the Purple Cloud Palace.

Divine Enthronement?

Xuanqing was momentarily stunned, wondering if Hong Jun planned to use this to rebuild the Heavenly Court or to divide The Three Pure Ones.
