Fighting: Xiao Yan at full level, leading the whole match

Ten thousand years may not seem like a very long time on the vast scale of the universe, but for living beings, it is a time of changing times and transformations.

Over these 100,000 years, another batch of Heavenly Sovereigns have been born and passed away.

From the birth to the death of each generation, only a few world gods are born.

In the Flame God Realm, from the time Xiao Yan completely transformed it into a top-tier world until now, two hundred thousand years have passed, and only three creator gods have actually been born.

Even so, it was only because these three had received guidance from Xiao Yan.

Two hundred thousand years is enough time for the history of some small worlds to change many times. The newly born powerhouses have long forgotten the once spirited Yan Emperor with a gentle smile on his lips.

From birth, they were taught that the Flame Emperor was the supreme deity of the Flame God Realm, and even other deities dared not challenge his authority.

Furthermore, as they cultivate, their strength grows stronger and stronger, allowing them to reach the levels of Earthly Sovereign and Heavenly Sovereign, witnessing a wider world and venturing out of the Flame God Realm to see the vast universe. Only then can they truly understand how terrifying the Flame Emperor's reputation is.

Only then did I realize just how incredibly powerful this strongest being in the universe truly was.

As a result, they developed an even more boundless and fervent reverence for Xiao Yan.

However, Xiao Yan rarely appears in the Flame God Realm anymore.

This has resulted in most of the beings born in the Flame God Realm and the surrounding lower planes, as well as the beings ruled within the entire Flame God Realm, only knowing about the story of this supreme being from ancient texts.

Or perhaps in a temple, one worships this supreme being.

This made Xiao Yan a legendary figure, almost mythical, in the Flame God Realm.

For the past 100,000 years, Xiao Yan has almost always remained in seclusion in the Flame God Palace. Except for occasionally coming out to spend time with his four wives, or when the Flame God Realm encounters some truly important events, he has always quietly secluded himself in his meditation room to cultivate.

Of course, if he makes a breakthrough in his understanding, he will also leave this Flame God Realm and travel in the universe to use his secret techniques and check on the progress of his cultivation.

However, his whereabouts were too secretive. Even if Xiao Yan, a Dao Integration Realm expert, did not want to be found, no one could find him.

Even so, the speed at which his strength improved with each move was astonishing.

Ten thousand years ago, about a thousand years after Xiao Yan's family passed away, Xiao Yan once fought against the Sword God.

That battle shocked all those at the Dao Integration Realm throughout the entire universe.

Because Xiao Yan defeated the Sword God with just one palm strike.

Without burning divine power or using any fancy tricks, it was just a palm strike out of thin air. The Sword God felt that time and space were changing, and he could not even vaguely comprehend the Great Dao. Then, under that vast power, even his divine power was about to dissipate.

He burned a full half of his divine power and unleashed his strongest attack to barely withstand Xiao Yan's palm strike.

Fifty thousand years ago, Xiao Yan and Emperor Xuanyuan clashed again. It was still a single palm strike. The two fundamental Daos of water and fire were mutually generating and destroying each other. The terrifying power directly shattered Emperor Xuanyuan's Xuanshui Domain and also shattered his divine body.

It took Emperor Xuanyuan a full ten percent of his divine power to recover, and that was only because Xiao Yan had shown mercy.

Thirty thousand years ago, Xiao Yan truly broke through and stepped into another realm above the Dao Integration Realm. However, he knew in his heart that he had not actually stepped into the legendary Eternal Realm.

Rather, it is a realm beyond the Dao Integration Realm, a realm that no one has reached since the birth of this universe.

That time, Xiao Yan's breakthrough shocked everyone. In the end, twelve Dao Integration Realm cultivators joined forces to fight against Xiao Yan, but in the end, Xiao Yan won.

Since then, everyone has learned that there is a new cultivation realm above the Dao Integration Realm.

This realm was referred to by Xiao Yan as the Dao Lord realm.

Reaching this point means he has truly reached the end of a universe, because at the moment he became a Dao Lord, he clearly felt the operation of the supreme rules of the universe above his head.

If he takes one more step, he can achieve eternity and reach the realm he dreams of.

However, this step was incredibly difficult.

Two hundred thousand years have passed, and he still has no clue about this step.

However, he did teach everyone the method to reach the Dao Lord realm.

The method to reach the Dao Lord level is very simple.

That is to comprehend two completely opposite principles and then merge them together.

Reaching this stage means advancing to the Dao Lord realm.

Upon hearing this, the other Dao Integration Realm cultivators were somewhat surprised, but they quickly understood Xiao Yan's meaning.

Now I understand how Xiao Yan got to this point.

This is because he has also comprehended the Great Dao of Water and reached the same Dao Integration Realm.

This not only shocked everyone with Xiao Yan's strength, but also made them marvel at his achievements.

Although Xiao Yan had already told them the method to achieve the Dao Lord realm, most of them could only shake their heads and smile bitterly.

To comprehend a great Dao is to become a creator god; to master a great Dao is to directly reach the Dao Integration Realm.

This alone has stumped so many people.
How many people are there in the entire universe, even if you add up all the creator gods?

After the emergence of powerful figures like Xiao Yan from the Great Thousand Worlds, no one had ever reached the Dao Integration Realm in the past two hundred thousand years.

Mastering just one path has already blocked countless people; to master another path, especially a completely opposing one, is an incredibly difficult task.

Having reached the Dao Integration Realm, they believed their talents were absolutely top-tier in this universe, yet at this moment, they still had some doubts about themselves.

Xiao Yan did not interfere further. He had not kept the method a secret, and whether they could reach that point was up to their own fate.

He was still in seclusion in the Flame God Temple, but in reality, he had thousands of clones traveling the universe.

Over the years, he not only cultivated the Dao of Water and Fire to the Dao Integration Realm, but he also cultivated the Dao of Space and the Dao of Time to the Dao Integration Realm.

In fact, he can now also be a Dao Lord of the Dao of Time and Space, and in terms of time and space, the power he unleashes will be even more terrifying than that of the Dao of Water and Fire.

Even so, he still failed to reach eternity.

However, after cultivating the Great Dao of Space to the Dao Integration Realm, he created the Dao Integration Realm secret technique that allows him to transform into countless forms.

Creating clones is an extremely common technique among those skilled in the Dao of Space; many creator gods and even world gods can use it.

Of course, this kind of clone can only be described as a spatial carrier that carries a portion of divine power and soul. It is still incomparable to the situation where the clones of the original body were almost equal in strength to the original body when the One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones.

Even so, any one of Xiao Yan's clones could easily possess the strength of a peak World God. If he were to unleash the Dao of Water and Fire or the Dao of Time and Space, he could fight against the Creator God.

This level of strength is more than enough for traveling through the universe.

Over the past 100,000 years, some of Xiao Yan's countless clones have taken on the forms of ordinary mortals, living in seclusion among the common people.

Some travel throughout the vast universe, observing the movement of stars, the operation of black holes, and the birth and death of countless stars.

Afterwards, his countless clones, along with the most ancient God of Light and other Dao Integration Realm beings, discussed and verified the findings, ultimately confirming that this universe was indeed constantly expanding.

According to the God of Light, the universe is now more than twice the size it was when he was born.

And everyone also noticed that in the short span of 100,000 years, this universe had once again expanded into a vast starry sky comparable to the domains under the command of a Dao Integration Realm expert.

Ultimately, Xiao Yan came to the conclusion that the universe he was in must have been in the earliest stage of the birth of another universe.

However, this conclusion still seems to have no effect on his cultivation.

He could only continue to wander through the universe, experiencing the birth of various great principles.

Thirty thousand years later, this universe finally gave birth to another Dao Integration Realm cultivator.

That was a creator god under the command of the Lord of Yuanting Realm. This creator god had been at the peak of the creator god realm for millions of years. Now that he had broken through to the Dao Integration Realm, he naturally won the congratulations of everyone.

However, Xiao Yan's assessment of this person was merely that his talent was average.

Reaching the Dao Integration Realm was already incredibly lucky for him; becoming a Dao Lord was virtually impossible.

Over the next million years, this universe expanded by a full third, and the additional XJ domain was comparable to half of what it was back then.

In these millions of years, a total of six new Dao Integration Realm cultivators have been born.

Then, the second Dao Lord was finally born. He was Xiao Yan's youngest son, Xiao Chen!
Xiao Chen originally reached the Dao Integration Realm by following the Dao of Time. With the guidance of Xiao Yan's previous experience, he quickly comprehended the Dao of Space. He then spent many years cultivating the Dao of Space to the Dao Integration Realm, eventually becoming a Dao Lord.

Other Dao Lords, such as Emperor Xuanyuan or the True God of Light, are fine because they can easily find their own opposing or complementary Daos. If they cannot cultivate to the level of Dao Lord, it is purely due to a lack of talent.

However, for powerful figures like Lin Dong, the Sword God, and the Blade Saint, finding a Great Dao that complements or is mutually reinforcing with them requires a long period of time.

After becoming a Dao Lord, Xiao Chen felt the even more terrifying power of the Great Dao of Time and Space, and eagerly came to challenge Xiao Yan to a duel.

Then, he was defeated by Xiao Yan in one move once again.

At that moment, Xiao Chen was completely stunned, and so were the others in the universe.

Xiao Chen, who had already reached the Dao Lord level above the Dao Integration Realm, was still defeated by Xiao Yan with a single palm strike. Just how strong is Xiao Yan now?

Xiao Yan simply smiled at everyone's astonishment and said nothing more.

Instead, they continued to comprehend the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth. In the blink of an eye, millions of years had passed. After Xiao Chen, Lin Dong and Zhou Yuan also comprehended a Great Dao of mutual generation and destruction or mutual support, and successfully entered the realm of Dao Lord.

The area of ​​this universe has expanded several times over compared to back then, giving birth to new Dao Integration Realm cultivators.

But now, these newly born Dao Integration Realm cultivators are no longer at the pinnacle of the universe, but can only helplessly look up at the four beings above them, or more accurately, the supreme being.

But Xiao Yan never paid any attention to it.

Because nearly ten million years have passed, he finally discovered that even gods have a day of falling.

Over the course of countless millennia, many of the nascent gods who pledged allegiance to the Flame God Realm have quietly passed away.

Xiao Yan also understood that even the lifespan of a newly born god has its limits.

This limit is approximately one million years.

For millions of years, even those newly born gods who failed to break through to the World Realm would slowly pass away.

Millions of years is the limit of the world's realm.

Nearly ten million years have passed, and Xiao Yan finally discovers that his four wives are also showing signs of aging.

Of course, those who aged even earlier than them were Xiao Xuangu Yuan and Zhu Kun.

Of these three, the oldest, Zhu Kun, was born tens of thousands of years earlier than Xiao Yan and the others, while Xiao Xuan and Gu Yuan were also thousands of years older than them.

Therefore, they showed signs of aging much earlier.

"Brother Xiao Yan, perhaps, even in a million years, Xun'er will have to leave you."

As the setting sun painted the earth crimson in the Realm of Flame God, a couple nestled together quietly atop the towering temple.

Feeling the woman's murmurs beside him, Xiao Yan gently took her hand.

That beautiful face, which I had been gazing upon since childhood, has never become tiresome even after millions of years.

"Don't worry, this time, I won't let you leave my side again."

Xiao Yan gently held Xun'er's hand, and his words startled Xun'er slightly. She and Xiao Yan had been a married couple for nearly ten million years, and she naturally knew Xiao Yan's personality well.

She could tell that Xiao Yan's words weren't just empty words of comfort, but carried genuine confidence. "Brother Xiao Yan, you..."

"That day is almost here!"

A smile appeared on Xiao Yan's lips.

In a small, ordinary plane under the jurisdiction of the Great Thousand Worlds, a group of middle-aged people knelt on the ground, each with a weeping expression on their face.

"Master, Master, what will we do if you leave us!"

"Master, your disciple is unfilial."

One by one, the disciples knelt on the ground. On the bed, a thin, white-haired old man was panting heavily. His cloudy eyes fell on the disciples. With a lifetime of experience, he could tell at a glance who was sincere and who was hypocritical.

But now that he has reached the end of his life, there is no point in dwelling on these things anymore.

"When a person dies, everything is over."

The old man closed his eyes weakly.

"His Majesty the Emperor has passed away!"

In another world, an ordinary emperor reached the end of his life. In his life, he went from a wandering knight to the emperor of a mortal dynasty, and he had no regrets.

Being an emperor is just too tiring.
In yet another world, a emaciated, ragged young man huddled in the icy snow, feeling his body temperature slowly drain away. He wanted to grab a withered blade of grass in the distance to eat, but he didn't even have the strength to pull it up.

He died; he starved to death.

These people included pharmacists, generals, emperors, and beggars.
Suddenly, in a single instant, they all opened their eyes, their mortal aura completely dissipated, replaced by a vast aura that shook the entire plane and even the great world.

I have also come to understand the great path of life and death.
Countless figures smiled, then vanished instantly.

Inside the Flame God Palace, Xiao Yan suddenly stood up, and the experiences of his countless incarnations over the past ten million years echoed in his mind.

In order to experience the mundane cycle of birth, aging, sickness, and death, he even sealed the memories of all his clones, allowing them to experience life as real beings until the moment of their death, at which point their memories would be restored.

For millions of years, countless incarnations have experienced everything in the universe, leading Xiao Yan to finally achieve a complete enlightenment.

At this moment, water and fire, time and space, light and darkness, life and death, cause and effect, destiny, destruction, and devouring.
All the various singular Great Daos, or the combined Great Daos that Xiao Yan could combine to achieve the Dao Lord realm, disappeared. In their place was a brand new Great Dao that went straight to the essence of the universe and pointed directly to the source of all Great Daos.

It is the Great Dao of Chaos!

Mastering three or more combined Great Daos and comprehending more than ten ordinary Great Daos gives one the opportunity to see the Chaos Great Dao. The more Great Daos one comprehends, the greater the chance of seeing the Chaos Great Dao.

A hint of understanding appeared in Xiao Yan's eyes, and then his divine soul directly touched the supreme Chaos Dao, comprehending its profound mysteries.

This enlightenment took a full three hundred thousand years.

Three hundred thousand years later, when even Xiao Xuan once again entered that aged and decrepit state, the entire universe suddenly fell into a brief, eerie silence.

In an instant, time and space seemed to stand still, but all living beings were completely unaware of it. Only those at the Dao Integration Realm and above could sense through the Great Dao that an unprecedented pressure had appeared.

This oppressive force directly affected the entire vast universe; even the Great Dao had to submit to it.

This is a path that transcends all other paths.

Its name is the Chaos Dao, also known as the Eternal Dao.

Mastering this principle means mastering the laws governing the entire universe and the supreme rules governing this particular universe.

Thus, transcending all the great paths, he became the truly supreme being in this universe.

Furthermore, after comprehending the Great Dao of Chaos, one can create a small universe of one's own in the endless chaos beyond the universe.

This is the power of the Great Dao of Chaos.

If one path is perfected, then all paths will be perfected!

What followed was a colossal figure that stretched to the heavens and the earth.

The oppressive aura emanating from him caused all the Dao Integration Realm cultivators to kneel down. Before the Great Dao of Chaos, even other Great Daos had no choice but to submit, let alone the Dao Integration Realm cultivators who had merged with the Great Dao.

Only three Dao Lords were able to barely stand in the face of this oppressive force.

Time and space began to turn again, but at this moment all living beings vaguely sensed that above their heads, a supreme being seemed to have been born.

"Mastering the Great Dao of Chaos is to master all the Daos of a universe!"

The endless phantoms slowly shrank, eventually transforming into a black-robed youth, none other than Xiao Yan himself.

At this moment, his aura was no different from that of an ordinary person, but only the three Dao Lords, Xiao Chen, Lin Dong, and Zhou Yuan, could vaguely sense the aura on his body that was like chaos and also like eternity.

"Father, you, you've really broken through!"

With a flash, Xiao Chen traversed the endless galaxy and arrived in front of Xiao Yan, his eyes filled with excitement.

His excitement stemmed not only from Xiao Yan's breakthrough in cultivation and the resulting increase in strength.

Rather, it's because, with Xiao Yan's breakthrough, a completely new realm has finally emerged in this universe—an ultimate realm known and understood by all cultivators.

Moreover, the moment he reached this level, he also represented many infinite possibilities.

"That's right, I have successfully broken through to the Eternal Realm, and I will be able to revive them soon."

A smile appeared on Xiao Yan's lips.

He had waited far too long for this day, and Xiao Chen and the others had waited far too long as well.

With a single step, Xiao Yan reappeared in the Flame God Realm. With a thought, the entire Flame God Realm rapidly shrank and merged into his body.

Then, with another step, it disappeared into this universe.

Beyond the universe, endless chaotic energy flows around, forming a boundless, truly endless infinite space.

Xiao Yan's figure slowly appeared here, and then his gaze swept across this chaotic void. His vast divine sense could even cover an entire universe in an instant.

"let's start!"

With a thought, Xiao Yan moved the Flame God Realm to the chaotic void. Then, the power of the Chaos Dao directly rushed into the origin of the Flame God Realm, causing the world embryo of the Flame God Realm to undergo earth-shattering changes!

"Boom!"

The World Embryo, which had already reached its limit, broke through its original limit instantly after receiving the operation of the Chaos Dao. The entire Flame God Realm seemed to shatter into countless pieces in an instant and expanded directly.

Then, a hazy black light was released from it, its aura similar to a black hole, but even more advanced.

That was the aura of chaos. Chaos gives birth to all things, and it also ends all things.

It is the beginning of everything, and it is also the end of everything.

In the blink of an eye, a massive black sphere with a diameter of trillions of miles appeared in the void. Then, it began to frantically devour the surrounding chaotic energy and started to expand rapidly at an astonishing speed.

This is a small universe that Xiao Yan created based on the mysteries of the Great Dao of Chaos.

Its essence is infinitely close to the universe born from chaos, but its expansion often has its limits.

Ten years, a hundred years, a thousand years—when the diameter of this universe expanded to the terrifying distance of light-years, Xiao Yan finally stepped into it.

With a flick of his wrist, countless stars began to rise and fall within the universe, and countless lives began to emerge, giving birth to worlds.

Then, time rapidly reversed. At the moment the Flame God Realm shattered, all the matter and life that had silently perished began to frantically return to their original starting point, like a rewinding image.

The difference is that all of this actually happened.

Time travel, time reversal!

This is Xiao Yan's current strength. In this universe, he is the true supreme rule. As long as it is within the range that this universe can bear, he can do anything.

"Boom!"

The Bodhi tree emitted a joyful and delightful sound. The shackles on its life force disappeared, and instead, an invisible force urged it to evolve once more.

He vaguely sensed that he had come into harmony with the very origin of this universe.

"From this day forward, you will be the Cosmic Spirit of the Flame God Universe, responsible for the enlightenment of all beings and the cycle of life and death!"

With a flick of his finger, Xiao Yan imbued the Bodhi Ancestral Tree with an invisible supreme rule, granting him the ability to control the life and death of all living beings in the entire universe.

"Nine Profound Golden Thunder, from this day forward, you are the spirit of divine punishment in this universe, in charge of all thunderous power."

Xiao Yan pointed his palm out again, and the Nine Profound Golden Thunder roared excitedly. His body suddenly transformed into a golden thunder dragon that was hundreds of millions of miles long, his eyes filled with excitement.

"From this day forward, the Flame God Realm will be the only supreme world in this universe, the true realm of gods!"

Only those from other lower planes who have cultivated to a certain level can enter the Flame God Realm.

Xiao Yan stood still and did not move again, but with just a tremor of his mind, he perfected the countless rules of this universe.

Then, he flipped his palm, and countless spiritual lights gathered in his palm, finally drifting down into the Flame God Realm, a world he had created on his own.

These are the true spirits of his relatives.

"Buzz!"

As if sensing Xiao Yan's intention, the Bodhi Ancestral Tree immediately emitted rays of reincarnation light. The light fell on those True Spirits, causing them to transform rapidly and then fall into the world origin of this world.

The origin of the world directly nurtured and enveloped these true spirits. A hundred years later, one powerful aura after another emerged from them—these were Xiao Yan's relatives who had perished back then.

They have been resurrected.

Not only were they resurrected, but they also possessed the life essence of a nascent god. In other words, they had been transformed into innate gods by Xiao Yan.

Moreover, under Xiao Yan's supreme rules, their lives are eternal and endless. Unless this universe is about to be destroyed, they are truly eternal and immortal.

This is the true meaning of eternity.

"Yan'er, what, what's going on?"

"Xiao Yan, how...how did my body become so powerful? This kind of strength..."

Everyone's face showed shock.

Only Xiao Yan had a smile on his face at this moment.

"Father, Yun'er, Sister Yafei."

"father"

Looking at his many family members, Xiao Yan's eyes couldn't help but well up with tears.

After millions of years, he finally succeeded, resurrecting his entire family and granting them true eternal life in this universe.

At the same time, he also resurrected the relatives of Lin Dong, Xiao Chen, Zhou Yuan, and others. As long as they still retained a trace of their true spirit, they could all be resurrected.

This is the true power of the Eternal Realm.

May it live as long as the universe and shine as brightly as chaos!
