Chapter 862: Great Avenue Contest
Such a violent explosion sound has never been heard before.

This moment.

The sound itself has already penetrated more than just a person's physical and spiritual senses.

Yue Hanzhang even genuinely felt a pure sense of shaking, as if the entire world was violently trembling at that moment.

Then, that trembling sensation, strong enough to pierce through the entire boundless sea of ​​stars, was like a giant wave rising in the ocean, churning and stirring one's body and spirit.

Between lightning and stone.

The elderly gentleman standing beside Yue Hanzhang, who was suspended in mid-air, suddenly stumbled.

And instantly.

The old man's face flushed red, and then all the color drained away in an instant, leaving him pale.

This is because.

At this moment, the tremor that pierced through the boundless sea of ​​stars, almost like some kind of "principle or law," acted on the old senior's body and spirit as if it were a raging storm in a vast ocean, and it also acted on his foundation of Daoist magic.

Therefore, at that same moment, the old master's already extremely weak and desolate inner world also exploded violently.

Yue Hanzhang also suffered the same treatment.

It happened in the blink of an eye.

Yue Hanzhang's figure suddenly swayed, and nine divine light curtains descended upon him, then intertwined to form a veil that was both real and illusory.

The moment the Six Harmonies Cloud Robe was donned, a massive amount of [Thunderfire Loyal Heart Heavenly Seal] spread across the robe, transforming into a complete and comprehensive Dao Mother Rune Array.

In an instant, all external forces were shut out from Yue Hanzhang's body and spirit.

then.

Yue Hanzhang even had the leeway to take another step forward.

The moment his hands formed a hand seal, he descended upon the elder to the side.

The same vast array of seal patterns unfolded, and in an instant, Yue Hanzhang forcibly used a sealing technique to isolate the old master's form, spirit, and Daoist arts from the boundless starry sea of ​​nature.

Only then did the old man manage to catch his breath.

"What a tragedy! Just this one blow has taken away four or five years of my life..."

Even if others are shaken by such a fundamental force, it is only a matter of adjusting their breathing a little more.

But for the older generation, any hardship only affects their remaining lifespan.

Upon hearing these words...

Yue Hanzhang paused slightly.

To be honest, the root cause of the old man's suffering lies with Yue Hanzhang.

The source of this explosion lies in the Ninth Starfield.

Yue Hanzhang's successful spawning directly led to the intervention of the mastermind behind the scenes, which in turn indirectly caused the loss of the elder's remaining lifespan.

Yue Hanzhang was among the injured veterans!
Fortunately, he has only lost some of his remaining lifespan, rather than facing a life-or-death crisis immediately.

Perhaps in the future, I can think about it more and find a secret method to make up for the decline of the elder's physical form, spirit and Taoist skills.

At the very least, we should try to stop his decline, or at least eliminate his condition of being unable to tolerate any external nourishment.

Once I have truly found the way to break through the shackles of my path, perhaps with the improvement of my cultivation level, the old man's life force, which was like a candle flickering in the wind, will be cured without any medicine.

But that's all in the future.

In that split second, a multitude of thoughts surged in Yue Hanzhang's mind, only to be suppressed by the resounding symphony of his mechanized mind.

He has something extremely important that needs to be addressed right now!

"Senior, please send a message to the Supreme Elders of the Dao Alliance."

"Let them replan their defensive lines and gather suitable personnel to compensate for the lack of combat power here after Yue's departure."

"I need to return to the explored star systems!"

"You heard the commotion, too. It seems there's been a change in the Dao Alliance!"

"As for the rampage of wandering demons and evil spirits here, if I am not mistaken, you all just need to weather this wave, and there will be no more rampages of wandering demons and evil spirits afterward."

"rest assured."

"I'll take care of everything!"

Yue Hanzhang's words were not unfounded.

Such a violent explosion.

This means that the mastermind behind it all has already made its move against Starfield Nine.

Once this fiend has already begun to take advantage of the situation, it naturally means that his secret control over the wandering demons and ghosts in the outer star sea will stop.

even.

Once he discovered that the Desolate Realm of Star Region Nine was completely empty.

His meticulously planned attack completely failed.

Even if it were a contingency plan, the mastermind would likely turn the tables and deliberately reduce the pressure of the wandering demons and ghosts on the outer star sea, allowing Yue Hanzhang the leeway to smoothly return to the explored star field.

Therefore, a pure attack and bloody battle, which happened far earlier than planned, was used to bring all these conspiracies, intrigues, and undercurrents to a final close.

And at the same time.

The old man suddenly raised an eyebrow.

Yue Hanzhang only said two or three sentences.

But this living fossil has experienced more than one era of bloody battles and wars for the human race.

Almost in the blink of an eye, through the lingering echoes of these words, the old man quickly grasped the general outline of the situation.

So he nodded heavily.

"Throughout the centuries, the main theme of this extraordinary world has been the endless great battles between the human race and the demon race."

"The reason why Brother Lin, I, you, and all our colleagues have been able to secretly kill batch after batch of people from the Zhuse Lianfu for so long is that..."

"The reason why it is still the Dao Alliance of the Human Race today, and not the Dao Alliance of the All-Colored Lotus Palace."

"This means that even if they have a more profound physical foundation that you and I humans do not have, even if they possess some unknown and mysterious secrets, even if the path of cultivation of the human race was established step by step under their secret influence."

"But as long as they haven't yet demonstrated the power to sweep across the entire supernatural world; and as for the common people, they show their helpless fragility in the face of such an irresistible force..."

"Everyone is still struggling to cross the great road! They haven't reached the end yet, and they are still struggling to cross!"

"But... the struggle to cross..."

"Even ignoring the barriers on the path ahead, is there any way to go beyond the Inner Realm Dao Lord realm?"

"Maybe there is, maybe there isn't."

"But even if there are still some, think of the Dao Lord realm, where one refines the external nine worlds to form the inner landscape, and the form, spirit and the origin of the Dao are unified."

"This is already the ultimate path to returning to one's true self!"

"At this level, if one wants to make any further progress, perhaps only one final leap is needed to reach the true Dao fruit."

"Young friend Yue, the road is nearing its end."

"This may be the final battle for the Great Dao! Life and death may determine who will have the right to take that final leap and then wield the irresistible power of the entire extraordinary world!"

“I wouldn’t dare say such things to others, for fear of affecting their character, but you are different—”

You have to win!

"You've won, so humanity has won!"

Upon hearing these words...

Yue Hanzhang took a deep breath.

His experience as a senior colleague allowed him to see things so incisively. He truly deserved to win!
This is not merely a battle of righteous paths between Yue Hanzhang and the mastermind behind the scenes!
This is a battle for the Great Dao between the human race and the various Lotus Palaces!

Winning this round will not only pave a bright future, but the Dao Alliance and the human race will also be able to completely break free from the constraints left behind by the various Lotus Palaces over the past hundreds and thousands of years on the path of cultivation.

Only then will there be a real possibility of a complete transformation.

If we lose this game.

Not only will he perish and his path be extinguished, but the entire situation of prosperity and decline will be reversed in an instant. No matter how well Shi Yue Hanzhang had wiped out the various Lotus Palaces, they will all be resurrected afterward.

finally.

Yue Hanzhang nodded heavily, then repeated what he had just said.

"I'll take care of everything!"

As soon as the words were spoken.

Yue Hanzhang flicked his hand.

A teleportation platform hovered beside Yue Hanzhang.

Then, the instant his figure stepped onto the teleportation platform, he instantly transformed into a pure ball of lightning and flames, completely merging into the teleportation platform amidst the entanglement of incandescent light.

whoosh-

When the sound of teleportation, traversing countless star fields, resounded in the most silent instant.

In a narrow, desolate star belt right next to the edge of the Ninth Starfield, Yue Hanzhang's figure suddenly appeared from a perilous, uncharted place.

As he stared intently at it.

The entire Ninth Starfield was instantly engulfed in an unprecedentedly turbulent storm, akin to a cataclysmic natural disaster.

The eighty-one blessed lands he had once condensed, along with the resources contributed by various noble families, are now being torn apart and crushed into the finest fragments within this storm that encompasses the entire region, thus becoming part of the storm itself.

Faced with such a raging storm, Yue Hanzhang did not hesitate and stepped straight into the storm itself.

Swah——

Using his extremely mysterious escape technique, Yue Hanzhang's figure blended seamlessly into the storm, moving through the natural disaster as if walking on flat ground.

He saw it clearly.

This storm was caused by the sudden outburst of the storm barrier of the Desolate Realm within the core of Starfield Nine, which, in the process of dissipating, swept across the entire Starfield Nine, creating a devastating natural disaster.

Such a storm may be quite turbulent.

But when it was extremely condensed in the past, Yue Hanzhang was able to pass through it smoothly and effortlessly.

Not to mention now that it's diffused and in an even lower state.

Yue Hanzhang completely ignored the raging storm itself.

Suddenly.

When Yue Hanzhang's figure was once again separated from the energy state that was in sync with the storm, and then re-condensed into a complete form and spirit.

At the very center of this storm vortex.

In the past, this place was a vast star field near the Ninth Desolation Zone, where beasts once approached.

But now.

There is nothing left here.

The stars have vanished, and even the turbulent flow of starlight has been wiped away by an invisible hand.

Even the power of the storm vortex itself was not applied to this star field.

The vortex's re-emergence created an extremely tranquil "vacuum" state.

Only pure and abundant extraordinary power is evenly distributed in every inch of space.

And not far from where Yue Hanzhang revealed his figure.

It was a slender figure draped in a blood-red gauze robe.

That's the mastermind behind it all.

He stood with his hands behind his back, his back to Yue Hanzhang, quietly watching everything before him.

That was the scene inside Zone Nine, which was revealed after the storm barrier went berserk following the deafening explosion that shook the entire boundless star sea.

The brown lotus-shaped flying saucer was also moved in position amidst the unprecedented explosion.

Upon closer inspection.

Even the original sturdy shape of the lotus flying saucer was torn apart and damaged in the violent explosion.

Several petal-shaped chambers that should have been bulging are now either torn open and exposed to the boundless sea of ​​stars, or crushed into a flat iron disc by the invisible force that was there before.

Even the strongest alloys, powerful enough to withstand such immense power, cannot maintain their perfect resilience.

Fortunately, the engine room of the tilted flying saucer appeared to be relatively intact.

However, the dazzling beams of light could no longer rebuild the storm barrier.

They shot straight up and down in two directions, piercing into the boundless sea of ​​stars. Finally, at a point that almost exceeded the limits of visual distance, the beams of light dissipated, transforming into a pure torrent of energy that poured out between heaven and earth.

"Time... years..."

"What a magical power it is, capable of weakening the mighty and growing the insignificant into the towering."

"The end that leads all living beings to death..."

"But this power itself does not seem to be omnipotent."

“In the past, we hoped to use such intense energy consumption and the passage of a long period of time to remove the radiant energy from the source of extraordinary power.”

"This is a plan even more ambitious than the Sacred Realm of your Human Race Dao Alliance."

"Looking at it today, it was a complete failure."

"When the power of time falls upon the source of extraordinary power, it seems as if the magic has been lost."

"I had given up all hope."

"But it was precisely at this moment of 'utter despair' that you displayed that incredible miracle of creation!"

"why?"

"Why do people possess such extraordinary talents and abilities?"

"If you are not such a prodigy, you can advance smoothly and climb the path of cultivation. The resurgence of the pure Beihai Tiandu lineage will be the only main theme of your path."

"You will experience a fascinating and complex web of grudges and conflicts within the Dao Alliance."

"Then, your talent at that time was still enough to break these chains and cages of cause and effect, and thus stand out in those chaotic and turbulent blood and fire conflicts."

"To become a brand new Inner Realm Dao Lord, to become a legend in the mouths of others, to become a person with a lifespan of hundreds or thousands of years who can live in the world for a long time, until finally becoming a part of the ancient history of the Dao Alliance human race."

“You could have had a better and longer life story.”

"You can even touch upon a part of the essence and secrets."

"Just like Old Ghost Lin, who has been immersed in hunting and killing my various Lotus Palace members for hundreds and thousands of years."

"You can do this, too."

"We can tolerate Old Ghost Lin, and we can tolerate you too."

"But your talent and gifts are too extraordinary, inspiring both admiration and fear, touching upon a true taboo."

"So now, you're going to die."

He sighed softly.

The person draped in a blood-red veil slowly turned around.

Yue Hanzhang stared intently, and then he saw the face of Su Yuan from the past.
