In a simulated life scenario, how do you defy fate and change your destiny every time?

Chapter 217 The Fourth Lifetime: The Distortion of Heaven's Dao, the Cataclysmic Calamity!

Yuntian Palace has been destroyed!
As time went by, the news spread like wildfire throughout the spirit world and was quickly learned by all the major powers.

After learning of this, the Western Desert Esoteric Sect had a heated argument.

Finally, the patriarch of the Tantric sect personally emerged from seclusion and led all his disciples to announce to the world that they had submitted to Lu Yuan.

This is the end.

The Southern Regions, the Eastern Sea, the Northern Wilderness, the Western Desert, and the Central Continent all fell under Lu Yuan's control.

All of a sudden.

The holy land sends its congratulations, and all religions revere it.

But Lu Yuan was not happy at all; instead, he felt a sense of urgency, as if a storm was brewing.

"Something's wrong, something very wrong."

Lu Yuan looked up at the sky, his brows furrowed.

The will of Heaven is all-knowing and all-powerful.

When Lu Yuan first refined the Innate Spirit Gu, the will of Heaven was instantly alarmed and sent down a heavenly tribulation, wishing it could nip Lu Yuan in the bud.

But now, Lu Yuan has spread the Gu Dao inheritance throughout the five domains of the Spirit Realm.

However, the will of Heaven has yet to manifest itself, and the abnormality revealed by this makes Lu Yuan increasingly uneasy.

"Could it be that the will of Heaven is secretly plotting something?"

Lu Yuan muttered to himself.

The will of Heaven is unpredictable.

All he can do now is desperately improve his own strength in order to adapt to any situation.

The next half month.

Lu Yuan traveled throughout the Spirit Realm, collecting all the rare treasures and magical weapons of other holy lands and great sects.

These Law-based weapons have been refined by powerful figures from holy lands for hundreds of thousands of years, and have long since transcended the category of weapons, becoming a manifestation of a certain fundamental rule.

Every supreme immortal weapon contains unimaginable traces of laws and principles.

If Lu Yuan can comprehend and master all these laws and Dao traces, his strength will definitely experience a qualitative leap!

……

Southern Region.

Qingmao Mountain.

After Lu Yuan destroyed the Immortal Palace, took control of the Five Domains, and became the Lord of the Spirit Realm.

This little-known mountain is regarded as a supreme holy land by countless cultivators.

Every day, many sect leaders from holy lands or Transcending Tribulation True Monarchs personally visit Lu Yuan, just to see him once.

At this moment, in a cave.

Lu Yuan was sitting cross-legged and took out the fragments of the Heaven-Suppressing Bell.

Although this Dao-Merging Immortal Weapon was split in two by the giant axe, the Dao traces on its surface did not disappear and still exuded a powerful aura.

Besides.

Dozens of other weapons, including swords, spears, and halberds, of various shapes and sizes, floated around Lu Yuan like stars surrounding the moon.

These laws and divine weapons shone brightly, with a mysterious Daoist charm flowing through them.

Any one of these items would be enough to make countless holy lands fight tooth and nail for it.

Among them were even a few Dao weapons, exuding a powerful and awe-inspiring aura. Although they were not as powerful as the Heaven-Suppressing Bell, they were still genuine Dao-Merging Immortal Weapons!

However, at this moment, these Law Soldiers were casually placed beside Lu Yuan like cabbages.

Not only that.

Lu Yuan then took out a large number of rare and precious items and immortal elixirs from his storage space.

These immortal elixirs exude a rich medicinal fragrance and possess incredible effects such as restoring flesh to bones and reviving the dead.

An ordinary mortal who takes a single breath of it can instantly ascend to immortality and become a powerful cultivator who can command the wind and rain.

However, compared to the efficacy of the medicine, Lu Yuan valued the laws and original traces of the Dao within these sacred medicines even more!

The fundamental law is the source upon which all things in the world depend for their existence.

In Lu Yuan's eyes.

Whether it's a weapon of law or an immortal elixir.

The reason they possess such powerful abilities and miraculous effects is that all their power comes from the fundamental laws within their bodies.

If these original traces of the Dao are lost...

Even the most powerful Dao-merging Immortal Weapon will eventually turn into a pile of broken copper and scrap iron.

What Lu Yuan needs to do now is to comprehend and refine all the original Dao traces from these Dao soldiers of laws and immortal holy medicines!
[Your comprehension is extraordinary; by observing the primordial Dao traces within the Heaven-Suppressing Bell, your strength has increased dramatically!]

[Your comprehension is extraordinary; you have successfully grasped the principles of Yin and Yang transformation within the Sun and Moon Mantra of the Western Desert Tantric Buddhism, gaining a deeper understanding of the laws of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements!]

[Your comprehension is extraordinary; you have deduced a trace of the true meaning of nirvana and rebirth from the true blood of the Undying Divine Phoenix, successfully mastering a portion of the origin of the laws of life and death!]

As the notifications from the will of the heavens continued to ring out, Lu Yuan's strength surged, eventually breaking through a certain critical point!
……

Years are like a shuttle.

In the blink of an eye, fifty years have passed.

Over the past fifty years, the entire spirit world has undergone tremendous changes.

First, with Lu Yuan's help, Yun Xi successfully entered the Tribulation Transcending True Monarch realm.

Following Lu Yuan's instructions, she used the Echoing Insect to recruit and unify all forces in the Five Domains, and then revealed the truth about parasitic cultivation to the world.

The news shocked the world!
It turns out they had been kept in the dark all along; their so-called cultivation of immortality and pursuit of the Dao was nothing more than a stepping stone for the parasite race.
So those demonic cultivators who went mad and were hated by everyone had already sensed the truth?
Upon learning this news.

Some people broke down and went crazy, some angrily denounced and questioned, and some refused to accept this fact.

However, faced with overwhelming evidence, many cultivators, no matter how much they resisted, ultimately had to accept it.

However, some Nascent Soul cultivators and Tribulation Transcending cultivators are willing to be enslaved by the parasitic insect race in pursuit of greater power.

Under the control of the parasite race, they joined forces to wage war in an attempt to eradicate all Gu cultivators.

All of a sudden.

The five realms of the spirit world have fallen into unprecedented chaos.

However, with the Dao-Merging Immortal Soldiers not appearing, almost no one can resist the enslaving power of the Echoing Insects.

They learned that someone was taking advantage of the situation to cause trouble.

Yunxi personally led more than a dozen Tribulation Transcending True Monarchs to swiftly and decisively kill all the parasitic cultivators.

Followed by.

She ordered all the major holy sites to spread the "Gu Scripture" to every corner of the spirit world as quickly as possible.

This scripture is a classic of Gu Dao compiled by Lu Yuan, who, with his extraordinary comprehension, innovated upon the ancient Gu Dao tradition and incorporated his lifelong cultivation insights and Daoist methods.

The contents of the Gu Jing are all-encompassing and all-encompassing.

It covers everything from refining, using, and raising Gu, to how to transform filthy spiritual energy into absorbable energy, and how to break free from the control of the parasitic race.

Most importantly, it is different from the ancient Gu Dao.

Even in this parasitic world of cultivation where the Heavenly Dao is distorted and the laws are twisted, Lu Yuan's "Gu Scripture" can still be cultivated.

Moreover, Lu Yuan did not hold anything back; the "Gu Scripture" even includes various methods for refining immortal Gu!

After all, the quality of immortal Gu is more important than the quantity.

Moreover, Lu Yuan has already comprehended his own Dao and Dharma, so having so many Immortal Gu would be of no use to him.

Therefore, it is better to let these immortal Gu go to waste.

It would be better to make the method of refining immortal Gu public, so that more powerful Gu cultivators can emerge and share the attention of the will of Heaven.

Just when the entire spirit realm was thriving, a shocking change occurred in the Western Desert!

West Desert.

Yellow sand rolled in, and the sky darkened.

This place is far from the Central Continent and the Southern Regions, and is almost the most remote area in the Spirit Realm.

But without anyone noticing.

In a corner of the Western Desert, a crack suddenly appeared in the void.

Then a strange black mist surged into this world through the crack and spread rapidly into the distance.

This black mist is strange and unpredictable, capable of devouring all life and things, even those who have transcended tribulation cannot detect it in the slightest. Wherever it passes, all things perish.

Even the laws of heaven and earth and the original traces of the Dao were completely obliterated.

In the end, only endless darkness and nothingness, and deathly silence remained!

And deep in the western desert.

Palaces stood in clusters, radiating golden light, while magnificent Buddhist chants resounded throughout the heavens and earth.

Many Tantric Buddhist disciples, dressed in monks' robes, were reciting Buddhist scriptures with their heads bowed and eyes lowered in devotion.

But it didn't take long.

The sky, which had been cloudless, suddenly darkened and became utterly silent.

It was as if in that very instant.

All light and sound suddenly vanished, leaving only deathly silence.

The magnificent Buddha statue in the esoteric Buddhist hall seemed to sense something, and tears even slid down its cheeks!
"What happened? Why did it suddenly get dark?"

"The Buddha statue is weeping; could it be that a cataclysmic calamity is about to occur?"

All the Tantric disciples who witnessed this scene were filled with fear and unease, feeling as if a great calamity was about to befall them.

It should be known that this Buddha statue has been worshipped and refined for hundreds of thousands of years, and has long since developed a trace of Buddha-nature, enabling it to foresee heavenly secrets and turn misfortune into good fortune.

However, this is the first time in the history of Tantric Buddhism that such a strange scene of a Buddha statue shedding tears has occurred!
What makes the Tantric disciples and elders even more uneasy is that

Suddenly, the Buddha statue made a 'crack' sound, as if it had been eroded by some kind of force, and cracks suddenly appeared on its surface.

It finally collapsed with a roar, turning into countless dust particles and never to exist again!
And at the same time.

Deep within the ancestral homeland of Tantric Buddhism, two terrifying auras suddenly surged into the sky.

However, when they saw the scene in the distance, they were terrified and filled with despair!
Because it's not far away.

An endless expanse of black mist, like a surging tide, is rapidly spreading towards this place!

"not good!"

"The will of Heaven has gone mad; this is a world-destroying calamity that He has unleashed!"

"Run away!"

Just as the Tantric patriarch was about to issue a warning, before he could finish speaking, the black mist surged in and instantly engulfed the Tantric sect.

As True Monarchs undergoing Tribulation, they didn't even have time to scream before being swallowed by the black mist and forever plunged into darkness.

An unparalleled holy land was quietly destroyed!

But this is just the beginning.

As time went on, apart from the Western Desert...

Endless black mists emerged one after another in the Central Continent, the Northern Wilderness, and the Eastern Sea.

to the end.

The black mist converged like a hundred rivers flowing into the sea, forming a dark wave that buried most of the spirit world!

Qingmao Mountain.

In the sect's main hall.

Many Transcending Tribulation True Monarchs gathered together, creating a terrifyingly heavy atmosphere.

Looking at the flood of requests for help and urgent messages that came like snowflakes, Yunxi's beautiful eyes were bloodshot and weary.

"Sect Master, seven days ago, the entire Western Desert was engulfed by a strange black mist, and no one survived!"

"Three days ago, we also lost contact with the Northern Wilderness Barbarians. The Barbarian Ancestor and 100,000 Barbarian warriors have disappeared without a trace, and I'm afraid they are probably dead."

“In addition, black mist has also appeared on the edge of our southern region. None of the hundreds of assassins I sent out have returned alive.”

A True Monarch undergoing Tribulation reported in a hoarse voice.

Although he tried his best to control his emotions, he still could not hide his inner fear.

Because this black fog came with overwhelming force and was unpredictable.

According to the intelligence they obtained, several Dao-Merging Heavenly Lords were in a slumbering state and were instantly swallowed up by the black mist before they could even awaken!
Even a powerful being like the Dao-Merging Heavenly Lord had no power to resist, let alone them?
"Heaven is sending down a calamity to settle accounts with and destroy everything."

"This is an unprecedented catastrophe that will destroy the world. No one can escape it, and even the laws and principles of the universe will be reduced to nothingness!"

"A long-lived Transcending Tribulation True Monarch spoke in a deep voice, his aged eyes filled with despair."

Whether it's a Tribulation-Crossing True Lord or a Dao-Merging Heavenly Lord.

Before the omnipotent will of Heaven, they are all nothing but ants.

Previously, the will of Heaven had only turned a blind eye to their existence, which allowed them a sliver of hope.

But now the will of Heaven has awakened and is about to unleash a cataclysmic calamity to destroy everything!
Yunxi looked tired and remained silent.

After fifty years of painstaking efforts, Qingmao Mountain can now be considered the number one holy place in the spirit world.

There are more than thirty True Monarchs who have transcended tribulation.

As for Nascent Soul and Transformation Realm experts, they are countless, as numerous as hairs on a cow.

But so what?
Faced with the vast will of Heaven, no matter how powerful Qingmao Mountain is, it cannot stir up any waves.

Moreover, given the speed at which the black mist is spreading, the entire spirit realm will likely be submerged in less than three days!

by that time.

Everything is illusion, everything is nothingness.

No one can escape this calamity!

"Sect Master, Lu Tianjun, he..."

One of the Transcending Tribulation True Monarchs, clinging to the last glimmer of hope, tentatively asked.

Fifty years ago.

Lu Yuan was at the peak of the Tribulation Transcending Realm, and his power shook the Spirit Realm, earning him the respect of all sects.

Not to mention.

He possessed unparalleled talent and single-handedly compiled the "Gu Scripture," spreading the Gu Dao tradition throughout the various realms of the spirit world.

With his aptitude and talent, becoming a Dao-Merging Heavenly Lord after such a long period of seclusion is almost a certainty.

If Lu Yuan comes out of seclusion, there might still be a glimmer of hope!
"I have already reported this matter to my master, but... I have not received any reply."

Yunxi sighed heavily, feeling somewhat powerless.

After all, this matter was beyond her ability to resolve; it was simply not something she could handle.

Upon hearing this, the light in the eyes of the other Transcending Tribulation True Monarchs vanished instantly, leaving only despair.

Under threat of death.

Some people couldn't bear the immense pressure and were on the verge of emotional collapse, so they immediately berated Yunxi.

They believed that Qingmao Mountain must have resorted to any means to forcibly promote the Gu Dao lineage, which was why the Heavenly Dao had sent down a calamity to punish all living beings.

Some people believe that the parasitic cultivation system is the orthodox cultivation method recognized by the will of Heaven in this world.

They were under Lu Yuan's tyranny.

He was forced to switch to the Gu path, which is why he met his demise.

Upon hearing this, many Transcending Tribulation True Monarchs also shifted all the blame onto Yun Xi and Lu Yuan.

"enough."

Yunxi laughed in anger and suddenly scolded.

"As the patriarchs of the holy land, are you all just shirking your responsibilities?"

"According to you, do you mean those parasitic cultivators can survive in the black mist?"

"Heaven is ruthless, treating all things like straw dogs; the will of Heaven has gone mad."

"This is a natural disaster, not a man-made one. Now, we must join forces to fight the enemy in order to have a chance of survival!"

Hearing Yunxi's words, the other Tribulation Transcending True Monarchs gradually calmed down.

After all, at this point, blaming each other is pointless.

The most urgent task is to figure out how to get through this difficult situation.

But it wasn't long before everyone discovered, in despair, that...

Even if they spared no expense and used every means at their disposal, they could not stop the spread of darkness.

Especially as it devoured more and more living beings and energy, the black mist spread faster and faster.

In just two days, we got close to Qingmao Mountain!
