Please call me Dadaozu

Chapter 403 Two months later, a war broke out (4000)

Zhang Yuanzhu and Fayan stood side by side, with the waves crashing beneath them and ancient trees reaching for the sky in front of them.

Fayan looked up, gazing at the distant, ethereal shadow of the ancient tree, and parted her red lips slightly:
"This illusory figure contains a trace of the Daoist essence of the Jianmu tree, and should originate from the Du family."

Zhang Yuanzhu lowered his hand, placing it on the gleaming white ruler, and responded:
"After entering the secret realm, I killed a True Person from the Du family and obtained this talisman."

He paused, his face calm, and asked:
"These alien races in the secret realms seem to be quite dissatisfied with us?"

Whether it was the white-haired immortal he encountered when he first entered the secret realm, the so-called Willow Clan, or the immortal from the Celestial Clan he killed, they all chose to attack the moment they met, leaving little room for maneuver.

Upon hearing this, the official clasped his hands together and softly said:
"I don't know the exact timeframe, but a thousand years ago, the secret realm opened, and many powerful individuals below the Golden Core stage poured in, staining the secret realm red with blood. Many races within the secret realm perished."

"Is that so?"

Zhang Yuanzhu understood.

Given this, it's not surprising that the natives in the secret realm harbored ill will towards them.

As the two talked, the illusory image of the ancient tree slowly dissipated.

And in the instant it disappears.

call out!
A holy radiance burst forth from the sea, hurtling toward the crimson shadow at breakneck speed.

Zhang Yuanzhu frowned slightly.

Were they not all dead?
But life had already vanished, and he couldn't be mistaken.

Thoughts raced through his mind, and his hand reached out to grab Fayan's shoulder.

Strands of lightning erupted from their bodies, enveloping the two of them.

Crackling!

Lightning flashed, and it fled at lightning speed.

At the same time, a golden bell floated up and trembled gently.

Boom!Boom!Boom!
The sound of bells resounded through the sky, and invisible ripples swept across the vast wilderness.

In an instant, millions of tons of seawater exploded, and sea monsters turned into blood foam.

Such attacks, however, seemed to have no effect whatsoever on the divine radiance.

The radiance pierced through layers of ripples, traversing space as if it did not exist in this world.

brush!
Extreme speed, arriving in front of the youth in an instant.

Zhang Yuanzhu's double pupils were deep and unfathomable, and divine halos rose up to protect him.

At the same moment, the Dharma words are cast into the distance.

huh~
The radiance easily bypassed the divine halo and enveloped the youth.

There was no severe pain, no injury, and everything seemed normal.

After an unknown amount of time, the holy light dissipated, and the divine halo floated above and below as before.

A beautiful figure rushed over, her eyes filled with worry.

"How are you, fellow Daoist?"

There was no response, only the receding rings of divine light.

Zhang Yuanzhu raised his hand, gazing at the pure white feather pattern that had appeared on the back of his palm, and slowly uttered two words:
"cause and effect?"

Only the secret art of cause and effect can disregard all protective measures and touch oneself.

Fa Yan quickly walked to the young man's side, stretched out her slender hand, and stroked the pattern on the back of his palm, her beautiful eyes slightly narrowed.

"It is a tracking method that involves cause and effect and can pinpoint location."

With a gentle touch of her fair, delicate fingers, strands of Buddhist light bloomed and seeped into her skin, attempting to sever the connection in the unseen realm.

In an instant, the feathers twisted, and the Buddha's light shone brightly, intertwining and resisting each other.

After an unknown amount of time, the Buddha's light faded, and the feathers dimmed slightly.

Fa Yan's face paled slightly. She withdrew her hand and parted her red lips slightly:
"It can be completely eradicated in at most one month."

Zhang Yuanzhu lowered his gaze, looking at the feather pattern on the back of his palm:
"Besides determining location, this secret technique may also pose other dangers."

Fa Yan shook his head and said:
"No, but the Celestial Race is exceptionally strong among the many races in the secret realm, and they were able to pinpoint their location..."

"Then there's no need to remove the feather mark!"

Zhang Yuanzhu interrupted the woman, his hand landing on the long, white ruler, his eyes icy cold.

"If they want to conquer and fight, then let them have it."

"I'm really looking forward to this life-or-death duel!"

He naturally possesses a way to eliminate this cause-and-effect relationship; his [characteristic] karmic fire is sufficient to sever it.

But at this moment, he was even more eager to see just how far the race called the gods could go.

Fa Yan remained silent and said nothing more. Once his fellow Daoist had made up his mind, no one could dissuade him.

Or rather, she was unable to persuade or change her.

At this moment, the silver boat sailed in, and Fa Jing stepped down from the air. He first looked the young man over and, after confirming that he was alright, then turned his gaze to Fa Yan.

"Brother Dao is alright, and Junior Sister is safe. That's wonderful."

Fa Yan looked at the approaching figure, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

The fellow Daoist actually went to find his senior sister first.

"Thank you for your concern, Senior Sister. The secret realm is dangerous, but it is not enough to harm me."

The two exchanged ideas, recounting their respective experiences.

Zhang Yuanzhu stood to one side, listening quietly.

After an unknown amount of time, the young man finally leaped onto the silver boat and spoke:
"Please board the ship, gentlemen. We'd like to have some fun with the so-called Celestial Race."

Zhang Yuanzhu was relaxed and composed, his eyes calm and gentle.

Fa Yan and Fa Ding exchanged a glance and boarded the silver boat together.

boom!
A violent and tyrannical aura erupted from Chi Ying.

Reckless and arrogant!
Like a ferocious beast awakening from its slumber.

He made no attempt to conceal himself, steer his silver boat across the heavens.

At this moment, beings from all corners of the sea, with holy wings on their backs and radiating sacred light, looked toward the direction of the silver boat.

"Arrogant!!"

"Who on earth killed one of our clan's experts and exposed their aura like this? Aren't they afraid of the wrath of heaven?"

"This is a provocation, and no matter who it is or what faction it belongs to, it will only end in defeat."

They might sneer, mock, or roar.

They all took the same action without prior agreement—kill!

Streaks of light shot into the sky, heading towards where the mark had appeared.

A chilling aura filled the sky, the earth, and the vast ocean.

……

Blood!

bone! !

Broken wings!!!
It fills every corner of the sea, but lacks the overwhelming power of thunder to annihilate enemies.

Instead, they were plunged into the most difficult conquests and battles.

The Celestial Race fell like rain, and all sorts of unimaginable methods of fighting were displayed before them.

For two whole months, the vast sea was stained red with blood. Whether they were Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, or even experts in the Condensation Realm, they all died.

boom!
"Zhang Yuanzhu, I refuse to accept this!"

A tall figure with sacred wings on its back roared to the sky.

This was a True Person at the Condensation Realm, whose eyes were filled with fear as he frantically retreated.

In the next instant, a streak of azure light tore through the sky and swept across the body.

In an instant, the tall body was torn to pieces, and blood mixed with the stark white bones spilled into the sea.

The brilliant blue light faded, revealing a tall, slender figure.

His crimson robe was stained with blood, his hair was disheveled, and his double pupils reflected the sun, moon, and stars, encompassing all things.

But what attracted the most attention from living beings was the raised palm, with pure white feathers engraved on the back of the hand, as dazzling as a great sun.

The ultimate in purity also breeds the deepest resentment and bitterness.

Zhang Yuanzhu placed his palm on the long ruler, making no attempt to conceal the brilliance emanating from his hand.

Over the past two months, countless members of the Celestial Clan have died at his hands. With each death, the mark on the back of his hand will become brighter and its range of perception will expand.

Now that he stands here, he is almost perceptible to all the Celestials, brighter than a lighthouse, but...

"It's almost over!" the young man whispered, a cold smile playing on his lips.

call out!
A silver boat glided across the sky, came to the foot of the crimson figure, and sped eastward with him.

Zhang Yuanzhu stood at the bow of the boat, with Fayan and Fading standing beside him, watching the clouds drift by.

No one looked down at the blood-red sea and the floating bones.

I've witnessed this scene too many times; I've long since become accustomed to it.

"Brother Dao, do you really not need to conceal your aura on your journey?"

Fa Yan frowned, a hint of worry flashing in his eyes.

Zhang Yuanzhu shook his head, lightly gripped the long ruler with his five fingers, and chuckled softly:
"It's nothing, why worry so much?"

He paused, his tone becoming slightly more serious:
"I'll take care of everything; you just need to stand behind me."

"Okay, my senior sister and I won't cause any trouble."

Fayan clasped his hands together and responded softly.

After a few words, the three fell silent.

Zhang Yuanzhu turned and walked towards the stern of the ship, sat down cross-legged, and recalled the battles of that era.

Although the Celestial Clan was not bad, they were far inferior to the Du Family and Qingyangzhai. The pursuit did not put too much pressure on him, and his cultivation did not fall behind.

Over the past two months, both physical training and cultivation have made considerable progress.

Body Refinement Method – Tempering Spiritual Consciousness: He has already adapted to the venom of the tailless black snake and can try consuming the Spirit Fusion Flower.

The practice of cultivation techniques is also about taking a further step within the existing realm.

but……

"These are not the biggest gains!"

Zhang Yuanzhu muttered to himself, his eyes unusually bright, as if the sun were embedded within them, burning with blazing flames.

The unmarked hand rose, fingers spread.

The young man uttered two words silently in his mind:
'hard!'

In an instant, her fair, jade-like skin gained a slight firmness.

He was all too familiar with this hardness; he had relied on it to survive as a child, and now it was resurfacing.

Moreover, the Seven Treasures Tree does not control the Blue Stone.

Call ~
Zhang Yuanzhu exhaled a breath of stale air, a slight smile appearing on his face.

After more than a decade of cultivation, he finally grasped a sliver of the essence of supernatural power: [Mortal Level] characteristic: Hardness. He can control it without relying on the Seven Treasures Mystic Technique. Therefore, other [Mortal Level] characteristics will not be far behind.

As for its [Level 1] features, they can also be explored.

Thoughts arose in my mind, then fell silent.

"hehe!"

"The great path lies ahead, and it is right beneath my feet."

The young man smiled, looking forward to the day when he would control all things in the world, and countless [characteristics] would converge in his body, what a magnificent sight that would be.

In a moment of thought, he flipped his hand, and a wooden box appeared.

A light flick of the fingertips.

Click!

The wooden box was opened, revealing clusters of snow-white spirit flowers, their bodies covered in wisps of silver mist.

Brilliant and beautiful!
Zhang Yuanzhu reached out and took out a Spirit-Melting Flower, examining it closely.

These beautiful flowers are among the most poisonous creatures in the world, far more venomous than the Red Blood Thunder Bee or the Tailless Black Snake.

Raise your hand and put the flower in your mouth.

boom!
A refreshing sensation surged from my mouth and traveled into my mind.

It is an extremely comfortable sensation, yet it contains hidden danger.

A wisp of silver mist formed in his mind, dissolving spiritual consciousness wherever it passed. The ten-story glazed pagoda trembled, becoming slightly mottled.

The golden figure, seated solemnly inside the pagoda, raises its hands and forms a mudra.

boom!
The brilliance of the glass was greatly enhanced, the blemishes were wiped away, and the missing parts were repaired.

The silver mist melts away, and the shimmering light of the crystal repairs itself; the two cycle endlessly, as if there is no end in sight.

At the stern of the flying boat, Zhang Yuanzhu's eyes gleamed with a faint silver light as he nodded in satisfaction.

With his spiritual consciousness refined and stabilized, all that's needed now is time.

He then took out the meteorite from his bosom, placed it on his abdomen, and began his cultivation.

Strands of lightning burst forth, pressing into the dantian and transforming into magical power.

The young man slowly closed his eyes, and scenes appeared in his mind, which intertwined and converged into a vast and ancient landscape.

If any powerful member of the Celestial God Clan were to see this scene, they would be terrified. This is clearly the Celestial God Clan's territory, and it is extremely detailed.

Every inch of the terrain, even the palace, is clearly visible, down to the smallest detail.

This is a picture that has been continuously refined based on the information Zhang Yuanzhu obtained from killing his enemies.

He was covered in lightning, his eyes were closed, and his mouth was stretched open, exuding a sinister smile.

The silver boat sped by, and time passed.

A day has passed!
Three days have passed!
Five days have passed!

On the ninth night, the waves crashed and the sea breeze blew.

The crimson figure, who was sitting cross-legged, suddenly opened his eyes. His double pupils transformed into two great suns of blue and black, swirling around each other and giving birth to the power of life and death.

His gaze fell downwards.

Click!

The meteorite placed on his abdomen shattered, turning into powder that drifted away in the wind.

This strange stone, obtained from the border, has exhausted its last bit of energy.

Zhang Yuanzhu slowly stood up, his face handsome and resolute, his red robe fluttering in the wind, his black hair dancing wildly, possessing an imposing and majestic aura.

Looking straight ahead, a ray of light appears at the edge of your field of vision.

Bright!

sacred!

tyrannical!

It was a sea of ​​light, where winged celestial beings stood tall in the sky.

With the flapping of its wings, a shower of light fell, painting the night sky.

Behind the many celestial beings lies a vast divine land, upon which statues stand and prayers echo across time and space.

Countless creatures knelt before the statue of the god, worshipping devoutly.

There are demonic beasts, demon races, alien races, and also humans.
Such a scene was too horrifying. Fa Yan and Fa Ding looked solemn and both walked back to stand behind Chi Ying.

For a time, there was no other sound except for the sounds of prayer and worship, both in heaven and on earth.

The two sides faced off across the sky, the atmosphere extremely tense.

No living being spoke first, or rather, at this moment, neither the Celestial Clan nor Zhang Yuanzhu and his two companions needed to speak.

This is a war that will only end when one side is completely defeated.

Zhang Yuanzhu tilted his head slightly, his smile unrestrained.

His face began to blur, and wisps of blue light emerged, transforming into emerald wings, filling the surroundings with a rich vitality.

A hand emerged from the blue light, its five fingers tightly gripping a long, white ruler.

A golden bell flew out of his arms, hovered above his head, and dripped with golden light.

Deep within the soul, the Seven Treasures Tree sways gently, its three-colored divine light intertwining and entwining. [Characteristics]: Energy storage, teleportation, shaking, mountain moving, empowering oneself.

Zhang Yuanzhu opened his arms and took a step forward.

kill!

Its body was like a blue phoenix, carrying a sky full of blue light and rolling waves of energy, and it rushed into the sea of ​​light.

The bell tolled incessantly, and the long ruler danced like a dragon.

In an instant, the radiance was torn apart, the sea collapsed, and alien races shed blood in the sky.

All the chanting, the kneeling prayers, the saintly holiness—all turned into a pile of rotten flesh.

Domineering and tyrannical, they headed towards the land of the Celestial Gods.
