Chapter 867 Living by Water and Grass
Yue Hanzhang is right!

This is not merely based on his experience; it can almost be considered an irrefutable truth.

Only power of the same level can perfectly counter power of the same level!
Among powers of the same level, few of the myriad methods can rival the offensive power of the Path of Destruction!
Creation, destruction, Yin, Yang, Yin and Yang, Five Elements, balance...

These "famous" Taoist principles can be regarded as the Great Tao within the Great Tao!
If we consider all the myriad paths and laws as the masses of sentient beings, then these few paths are the few among the masses who truly stand atop the mountain, holding the reins, able to wield power, and rule the world!
While "corrosion" and "devouring" are indeed still extremely domineering, they are not among those that rule the world.

At most, they are located halfway up the mountain, on the next level of the main road.

But it cannot be considered the summit, nor is it the supreme path.

now.

The two profound truths that Yue Hanzhang spoke of were fully demonstrated in the process of their respective great laws clashing!
In terms of the sheer number of laws governing the Great Dao, this is clearly a one-against-two situation.

It seems that Yue Hanzhang should be at a disadvantage.

However, despite these two irrefutable truths, the situation is not like that at all.

The instant Yue Hanzhang's torrent of thunder and fire, imbued with the Daoist law of "destruction," collided with the torrent of blood flames.

When the "corrosion" Dao Law within the blood flames swept towards the black and yellow lightning and flames, attempting to erode Yue Hanzhang's lightning and flames into pure blood essence just as it had corroded all things in heaven and earth.

One breath, two breaths, three breaths...

Each precious moment slipped away like this.

The intense, bright light of the two colors, black and yellow, always shone brightly amidst the unwavering thunder and flames.

Su Yuan's "corrosion" Dao Law was no match for Yue Hanzhang's "destruction" Dao Law!
Naturally, the surging blood flames could not shake the power of thunder and fire in the slightest!

Su Yuan's profound Taoist foundation was instantly crippled by half!
of course.

Su Yuan's "devouring" principle worked.

Amidst the collision of the two torrents, a massive amount of lightning and flames, after clashing with the blood flames to a standstill, were frantically drawn into the blood flames themselves by the subsequent eruption of the "devouring" Dao Law.

Rather than saying that Su Yuan actively devoured it, it would be more accurate to say that Yue Hanzhang was also actively infusing it at this moment!

This kind of success is not what Su Yuan wanted!

Because the power of the thunder and flames that poured in was not transformed by the "corrosion" of the Great Dao Law at all. In fact, when they actively poured into the blood flames, they still contained the "destruction" Great Dao Law without any loss.

In an instant, the power of the "Destruction" Great Dao Law, through the "cooperation" of the "Devour" Great Dao Law, spread and diffused throughout the entire torrent of blood flames!
indigestion!

Complete indigestion!
The same is true.

If the "Destruction" Great Law cannot be shaken by the "Corrosion" Great Law, then for the same reason, it cannot be shaken by the "Devouring" Great Law.

This stalemate continues.

As that precious, fleeting moment continued to slip away, breath by breath.

at last.

Click——click——click——

A faint, fragmented, cracking sound suddenly rang out amidst the deafening roar that shook the boundless sea of ​​stars.

That was the sound of the entire river of blood and flames, as revealed by Su Garden, finally breaking down!

That was the origin of his unity of form, spirit, and Dao, which, after the Dao of "destruction" was poured into it and erupted within, was overwhelmed, teetering on the verge of collapse, and shattered into pieces!
Aside from the original difference in their innate talents.

The outcome of the battles, encompassing multiple dimensions and fields, gradually became clear at this moment, emerging from their interplay.

Lost!

It was a complete and utter failure!

Their attacks were devoid of any skill; they were purely a clash of the laws of form, spirit, and Dao, performed to their fullest extent.

That's why.

When the clash between the fundamental laws produces a clear winner and loser.

The same outcome occurred simultaneously in their all-encompassing battle of form, spirit, and Daoist techniques.

The outcome has been decided.

And life and death are about to be decided!

Those fragmented, delicate moaning sounds were the footsteps of death approaching Su Garden.

In the blink of an eye, Su Yuan even looked past Yue Hanzhang and towards another battlefield nearby.

Even a clash between two beings at the level of the Great Dao Laws would be enough to shake the entire boundless star sea.

But just like how Shi Yuehanzhang had previously resisted similar shockwaves with a detached and independent attitude.

This Twelve Yuan Chen Killing Array combines the power of Sumeru with the power of time, perfectly fusing them into one, thus possessing the foundation to transcend the mortal world and exist.

It was as if all the battles and killings were taking place in another world, and this place was merely a projection.

That's why.

All the realms encompassed by the Twelve Yuan Chen Killing Array perfectly avoided the shockwaves from the clash between Yue Hanzhang and Su Yuan using the laws of the Great Dao.

In those precious few breaths between Yue Hanzhang and Su Yuan, when they were locked in a stalemate...

The attack, which was pushing the limits of spacetime power to its limits, was also continuing.

When Su Yuan looked at it at that moment.

The Xuan Sha Octopus has perished; the storm of its disintegration, its last lingering effects, has almost completely dissipated in the latest silhouette.

at the same time.

It happened just moments ago, in a silhouette illusion that has not yet completely dissipated.

Jiang Lingxiu shifted his position, replacing Shang Shi as the spearhead of the Twelve Yuan Chen Killing Formation. With his primal hunting instincts, he unleashed the combined offensive power of all the cultivators, tearing apart the true spirit world of the Great Sage Leopard.

There was also the scene of Sang Mingqiong standing at the forefront, using the annihilation lightning as a channel to guide the various offensive techniques brewed by the cultivators, all of which crashed down on the Xuan Yu Dragon Eagle.

There was also the scene of Huang Zhishu summoning the Nightmare God's Demon Fire, which mixed with spiritual flames and the Taiyin Moon Fire, creating a rain of fire that clashed with the Shadow Flame Fox Wolf.

finally.

All of these silhouettes have become a thing of the past, gradually vanishing like a dream bubble along with the deaths of those few Inner Realm Great Sages.

In the latest time-space silhouette.

The spearhead of the Twelve Yuan Chen Killing Formation has been replaced by the raging ape that Zeng Yunhe transformed into, which is stirring up a storm of life and death, sweeping towards the inner realm Great Sage of the Dragon Scale Raging Ape, which seems to have originated from the same source.

The silhouette of layers of attacking magic merging together, and the colorful spiritual light becoming increasingly dazzling.

This means that the other battlefield has also long since come to a close, and the Great Sages of the Inner Realm are powerless to turn the tide against the Twelve Yuan Chen Killing Array.

This seems to be a dead end.

Suddenly.

next moment.

Su Yuan's heartbeat suddenly resounded throughout the boundless star sea with another booming sound from the collision of the Great Dao Laws!

"The Inner Realm Great Sage of the Saint Clan!"

"You have already seen the battle unfolding here!"

"If I perish! If all nine Great Sages here perish, and we miss this day, who will be able to restrain Yue Hanzhang in the vast sea of ​​stars?"

"His continued existence is the end for our Holy Clan!"

“Our Holy Clan has already joined the war! We have already stood against Yue Hanzhang! If he is invincible, we will take our leave first, and you… who among you can escape?!”

"Take action——"

"This is the last chance!"

As soon as the words were spoken.

Su Yuan's aura suddenly surged again!

This was an extremely brief outburst.

But in an instant, all those fragmented, subtle sounds vanished completely.

at the same time.

Su Yuan completely abandoned the futile clash between the "Corrosion" and "Destruction" Dao Laws. Instead, he poured all the power of his physical form, spirit, and Dao Laws into the "Devour" Dao Law.

All of a sudden.

An unprecedentedly powerful force suddenly anchored the torrent of thunder and fire that Yue Hanzhang had poured out, as well as the Big Dipper Killing Array itself formed by Yue Hanzhang and his six external avatars, all to their original positions.

this moment.

Only a small amount of external interference is needed.

Perhaps there is hope of breaking through this Big Dipper Killing Formation!

It is true that the "destruction" Dao Law that Yue Hanzhang was brewing was very powerful.

However, he ultimately lacked Su Yuan's cultivation level and life essence. Although the "Destruction" Great Dao Law was his supreme achievement, it was powered by the Big Dipper Killing Array.

Once this formation is broken, and once Yue Hanzhang's avatar is under siege, it will be instantly killed.

Therefore, in the short term, Yue Hanzhang will have no chance to condense the "Destruction" Great Dao Law again.

At that moment, victory or defeat, life or death, all reversed!

really.

Su Yuan's heartfelt voice reverberated throughout the boundless sea of ​​stars.

When he personally took action and anchored Yue Hanzhang firmly in place for a short period of time, he had to concentrate on dealing with the erupting "devouring" Dao Law.

At the far end of the boundless sea of ​​stars, in the desolate frontier of the explored star field.

Swish—swish—swish—

Simultaneously, figures of demon race inner realm great saints appeared and, in an instant, crossed over to the Ninth Starfield, where even the destructive storm did not exist.

They were persuaded by Su Yuan and genuinely believed that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
And in the blink of an eye...

Yue Hanzhang merely glanced at the boundless starry sky.

He pursed his lips and remained silent, without any mental explosion. He simply held his breath and concentrated, ready to take out the Glazed Nine-Seal Golden Pill that carried the Great Dao Law of "Balance" at any moment.

But the next moment.

suddenly.

A sound of even greater teleportation suddenly resounded in the distant sky!
Amidst the rampaging power of Sumeru, one human cultivator after another emerged!

The Supreme Elders of the Alliance of All Paths took the lead.

The rest were the patriarchs of various moderate families, mainly the patriarchs of the Sang and Shi families.

At last.

There were also the second and third ancestors of the stubborn families.

The moment they appeared in the world, their respective Dao Lord domains opened up in the sky. Immediately afterwards, their Daoist aura and sharp killing intent were all directed at the demon race's inner realm Great Saints who were crossing the river earlier.

The Supreme Elder of the Dao Alliance, who was still in his prime, grinned menacingly at the Inner Realm Great Saints.

"If they dare to turn back to the explored star field, the beings of both races within the same realm will attack them together!"

"You bastards, this alliance between the two races, established by Ancestor Lin in the past, binds you, but it also protects you!"

"Our two races have been sworn enemies for generations. In the past, we fought all the way from the mortal world to the boundless sea of ​​stars. It was this covenant that made me suppress my murderous intent towards you beasts!"

"Are they really treating us like dead people, acting so recklessly?!"

As he spoke, the Inner Realm Daoist turned around with a sinister grin, meeting Su Yuan's gaze in mid-air.

"King Lingye is right—"

"This is the strongest and most powerful resistance of our human race against the hundreds and thousands of years of bewitching and manipulation of you, the beings of the Lotus Palace!"

Boom——Boom——Boom——

In the distance, violent explosions resounded one after another as the Inner Realm Dao Lords and the Inner Realm Great Sage clashed fiercely.

Having broken free from the shackles of the alliance and laws, the blood feud accumulated between the two races over hundreds of years finally erupted from the Inner Realm at this moment!
And in the same place.

Su Yuan's expression had turned ashen.

And at the same time.

Yue Hanzhang abandoned his desire to hold onto that glassy nine-script golden elixir.

Between lightning and stone.

He directly used the Rejuvenation Talisman.

At the same time that the jade talisman transformed into a surge of spiritual light, Yue Hanzhang poured all the power of his physical form, spirit, and Daoist arts into the torrent of thunder and fire.

In an instant.

The profound foundation of the dual entities amplified the torrent of thunder and fire to its limit.

Furthermore, it brought the inherent "destruction" principle to its ultimate expression.

All of this was completely absorbed by Su Yuan's all-out "devouring" Dao Law.

Click——click——click——

The subtle sounds of the body, spirit, and Dao collapsing seemed to drown out the explosive sound of the Great Dao laws colliding at this moment.

at last.

Su Yuan, whose face was deathly pale, suddenly spoke.

"I lost!"

"We, the people of the Lotus Palace of All Colors, have lost!"

"I've lost to you!"

"The people of the Lotus Palace have also completely lost the war to seize this extraordinary world!"

"But—don't kill me—"

"Our conflict is a contest of the great principles, a strategic maneuver beyond the grand schemes of the world. We have never harbored any personal grudges."

"If I die, you will have no clear understanding of the boundless world beyond this universe, or the even more carefree path beyond the Dao Realm!"

"I will tell you all these secrets!"

"After I finish speaking, I will pilot the twentieth Dao Lotus flying saucer from the deep space of the outer star sea and leave this extraordinary world!"

"I traded all these ultimate secrets for my life, and for the chance for the people of the Lotus Palace to continue to exist."

"There is absolutely no conspiracy or trickery involved in this!"

"I keep my word!"

"I can swear to the laws of the Great Dao that if I break my word, may the 'Corrosion' law erode my form and spirit and the origin of the Dao, and may the 'Devour' law devour me until my life is nothingness!"

As soon as the words were spoken.

Su Yuan took the initiative to disperse the torrent of blood flames that filled the sky.

As he made his vow, the two great Dao laws resonated with heaven and earth in an instant.

next moment.

A torrent of thunder and fire, brewing the laws of "destruction," hovered at the tip of Su Yuan's nose.

Yue Hanzhang's clear voice finally rang out.

"The ultimate secret you spoke of saved your life! It gave the people of the Lotus Palace a chance to survive!"

"Since we've touched upon the mysteries of the essence and origin of this extraordinary world, we must start from the very root of all things. Explain step by step, beginning with the origins of your various Lotus Palaces!"

As he finished speaking, an unprecedented look of weariness suddenly appeared in Su Yuan's eyes.

"The people of the Lotus Palaces of All Colors was what we called you, our human ancestors, when we first came to this world."

"To be more precise, we are the remnants of the Dao Lotus World."

"They are a nomadic tribe living in the chaotic sea, following the water and grass..."
