I am devoted to the Tao

Chapter 506 Devouring the Sun and Moon of Myriad Realms!
"Jingyang! Jingyang! Are you dead? Can't you come back to life and make a sound?!"

Elder Jingzhen looked at the palace shrouded in layers of Dao principles and roared incessantly.

Jiang Chuan, who was in seclusion to comprehend the Dao, turned pale upon hearing Elder Jingzhen's words.

What does it mean to be able to come back from the dead?
Did you really think he was dead?
Taking a deep breath and suppressing the urge to beat Elder Jingzhen, Jiang Chuan asked, "Elder Jingzhen, what brings you here?"

As it spoke, the avenues that had been shrouding the Jiangchuan Palace slowly dispersed, revealing the palace gates.

Elder Jingzhen flew to Jiang Chuan's side and said excitedly, "That's great, Jingyang, you're still alive! Hurry up and come with me to the Innate Divine Palace, or it will be too late."

"What happened?" Ancestor Ziyun asked, jumping onto Jiang Chuan's shoulder.

Jiang Chuan slowly stood up, a bad feeling suddenly creeping into his heart.

"While you were in seclusion healing your injuries for years, the Demon Lord returned to the Demon Realm, and Daoist Yuanheng went to the Immortal Realm and never returned. Immortal King Chuming received a decree from Immortal Emperor Qingtian, and on the grounds that Lu Chenling's strength was insufficient and her performance in the Great Tribulation was mediocre, she was ordered to hand over the Origin of Qingwei Heaven."

Elder Jingzhen explained, "This time, the gathering of the three sects at the Innate Divine Palace was orchestrated by powerful beings from all heavens in secret, with the aim of forcing Lu Chenling to hand over the Qingwei Heaven Origin. My Bodhi Temple, along with the Taisu Immortal Palace, Bamboo Immortal Island, and other sects, have all seen through the schemes of these powerful beings and are doing their utmost to support Lu Chenling. However, we are outnumbered and outmatched. Lu Chenling also doesn't want to hand over the Qingwei Heaven Origin. When I left, the two sides were already at loggerheads. You should hurry over there. If you don't go now, it might be too late."

"Woof! It's too late!" Taihuang exclaimed.

Under Taihuang's gaze, the river of time trembled, and Lu Chenling clashed with a man surrounded by divine light across time and space.

The man was tall and imposing, his calligraphy was powerful and vigorous, his eyes were piercing, and the nine dragons on his golden armor were lifelike, as if real dragons were branded on them, making the man appear incomparably majestic.

He seemed to transcend time and space, existing outside the Three Realms and Six Paths. His stature was unbelievably majestic, and even a Celestial King would feel a sense of insignificance upon seeing him.

Faced with Lu Chenling's terrifying sword light containing the power of Qingwei Heaven, he struck out with his palm and easily crushed Lu Chenling's sword light.

The rabbit exclaimed, "This is bad! It was the Tai'an Immortal Emperor who attacked Lu Chenling!"

As soon as Taihuang finished speaking, Jiang Chuan extended his palm.

His palm strike seemed to transcend the past and the future, simultaneously striking Jiang Chuan who was working as a handyman at the Bodhi Temple, Jiang Chuan who was dueling with Mu Bingyun, and Jiang Chuan who was heading to the Flying Immortal Land, all to help Lu Chenling fight against the Tai'an Immortal Emperor.

"Immortal Emperor, you actually didn't perish!"

The Immortal Emperor Tai'an, who was fighting Lu Chenling, showed a hint of surprise when he saw Jiang Chuan make a move.

"As expected of a cultivator praised by the Heavenly Emperor, he is indeed not so easy to kill, but it only made me put in a little more effort! Tai'an Creation Seal!"

The Immortal Emperor Tai'an formed a hand seal, and immense world power gathered in his palm, evolving into a vast world.

The world is filled with colorful clouds, cascading waterfalls, and divine lakes, like divine pearls, embedded in the celestial land.

It is none other than Tai'an Huangya Heaven, one of the Thirty-Three Heavens!

When the seal of the Immortal Emperor Tai'an descended, it was as if the real Emperor Tai'an of the Cliff Heaven had come down to kill Jiang Chuan.

"Di Yang isn't even worthy to carry your shoes!"

Sensing the immense power within this seal, Jiang Chuan let out a sigh of admiration.

Neither Lu Chenling nor Di Yang possessed particularly high cultivation levels; neither had surpassed the peak of the thirteenth realm.

Even if they could wield the power of Qingwei Heaven, they would find it difficult to perfectly control such a vast power. But Tai'an Immortal Emperor was different. Even without the support of Tai'an Huangya Heaven's power, he was still a true being among the heavens with the potential to attain the Great Luo realm!
His strike contained such terrifying power that even Jiang Chuan was terrified.

"Sky-opening Fist!"

Jiang Chuan extended his hand, his five fingers clenching.

As the Primordial Chaos True Chapter circulated, the power of two thousand four hundred kinds of Great Dao, including the Dao of Nothingness, the Dao of Chaos, the Dao of Void, and the Dao of the Five Elements, surged out from the void and gathered in Jiang Chuan's palm.

hum!hum!hum!
Having devoured the Great Dao Principles of the Azure Sky Emperor, the Azure Sky Dao Tree grew to a height of twenty-six zhang, resembling a towering divine mountain standing amidst the Dao Fruits of Jiangchuan.

With a thought, Jiang Chuan felt the Qiong Cang Dao Tree shine brightly. The power of many great Daos, such as the Dao of Yang and the Dao of Nirvana, was drawn into the Qiong Cang Dao Tree and combined with the power of his eighteen Great Thousand Worlds, surging forth.

Under the control of the Primordial Chaos True Chapter, it transformed into a phantom of a universe. Within the phantom, the starry river was dazzling, and the sun and moon shone in the sky, just like a real universe. It landed on Jiang Chuan's fist imprint and merged with it.

Boom! ! !

Jiang Chuan threw a punch to meet the Tai An Immortal Emperor's Tai An Creation Seal. The two fists collided, and the vast divine power swept across all the heavens and myriad realms, traversing countless ages and spaces, just like two universes colliding, with all paths crushing each other, stirring up towering waves on the river of time.

Jiang Chuan, who left Bodhi Temple with Elders Jingzhen and Jingyun, Jiang Chuan who was being chased in the Maha Hall, and Jiang Chuan who fought fiercely in Wanshanhe, were all annihilated by a world that descended from the sky.

Along with Jiang Chuan's past self, the past body of the Immortal Emperor Tai'an also vanished.

Zheng!
Lu Chenling swung her sword again, and countless sword lights rose from her Great Evolution Bronze Sword, transforming into a sword array that enveloped the Tai'an Immortal Emperor.

Emperor Tai'an struck out with his palm, shattering the sword formation. Then he smiled and looked at Jiang Chuan: "Good punch! Truly a good punch! No wonder you are praised by the Heavenly Emperor. Give you some more time, and you may really grow to the point where you can fight me."

Whether we can win or not, we'll only know after we fight.

As Jiang Chuan spoke, the entire universe, from starry skies to galaxies, trembled in unison.

"A mere sliver of difference in understanding is worlds apart. And my Tai'an's Dao of Heaven and Earth is immeasurably superior to yours!"

As soon as the Immortal Emperor Tai'an finished speaking, a terrifying imperial aura swept out, shaking the heavens and the earth.

The great powers of all the heavens and myriad realms exclaimed in surprise.

"Tai'an has broken through again! He has reached the Taiji Realm!"

"With the Taiji Realm combined with the power of Tai'an Huangyatian, that's a total of one hundred Great Thousand Worlds! Is Tai'an about to become invincible?!"

"Even the three sages didn't control so much power of the Great Thousand Worlds before they attained enlightenment! Could it be that a new Great Luo is about to be born?!"

Jiang Chuan's expression was solemn. In his perception, the current Tai'an Immortal Emperor had surpassed the Nine Extremes Thunder Emperor who had controlled the Innate Dao Palace in the simulation and killed him.

Tai'an Immortal Emperor originally cultivated the Dao of Qiankun, which is also the Dao of the World. With a vast amount of world power in his hands, he can definitely unleash even more terrifying power.

"Fellow Daoists, let's set off. Qiankun Wanxiang Seal!"

The Immortal Emperor Tai'an formed a hand seal, and the pure and turbid energies emerged from the void. The pure energy rose to become the heavens, and the turbid energy sank to become the earth. In the instant the heavens and earth were formed, mountains, hills, rivers, lakes, plants, and wild animals gradually appeared in the world.

At this moment, the Immortal Emperor Tai'an seemed to be a creator, creating a complete world in the blink of an eye!

The seal fell, as if a great immortal were throwing a punch towards Jiangchuan.

terror!
Extremely terrifying!
Jiang Chuan had never faced such a terrifying attack!
He had seen many powerful figures make their moves, the strongest being the sword strike Mu Bingyun unleashed to save him. But even Mu Bingyun's sword strike was weaker than that of the Tai'an Immortal Emperor!
"Jiang Chuan, we are no match for Tai An, you must run!" Lu Chenling's eyes revealed a resolute look, and a dazzling Dao flame emerged from her delicate body.

"Chen Ling! Stop it!" Jiang Chuan tried to stop Lu Chen Ling from burning his source energy.

A person's essence, energy, and spirit are all transformed from the original Qi. If Lu Chenling burns his original Qi like this, it is entirely possible that he will perish completely, without even the chance to be reincarnated!
"Jiang Chuan, if fate allows, we will meet again in the next life."

Before Lu Chenling could finish speaking, her delicate body transformed into a dazzling sword light.

This sword light was incredibly dazzling, like the first divine light at the beginning of the world, about to break through the chaos and traverse the past, present, and future.

Jiang Chuan recalled their first meeting in the underground abyss during the simulation, fighting side by side with Lu Chenling to enter the Nine Abyss Prison, being misunderstood by Lu Chenling at the Tai Su Immortal Gathering because of Xiang Donglai, and becoming Daoist partners with Lu Chenling because of the Huangyu Immortal Emperor. These scenes floated into Jiang Chuan's mind.

Overwhelmed with grief, Jiang Chuan looked up to the sky and roared, "Chen Ling!!!"

[Lu Chenling perished to save you. You wanted to kill Emperor Tai'an, but you also knew that you were no match for him.]

Despite a thousand regrets and a hundredfold resentment in your heart, you choose to close your cave dwelling, flee with your cats, dogs, and rabbits, and leave Qingwei Heaven. You plan to return to Qingwei Heaven and slay the Tai'an Immortal Emperor once you have grown stronger.

Before leaving, you used your divine sense to inform Elder Jingzhen to tell Abbot Kongming, Fairy Taisu, and others that they should consider leaving Qingwei Heaven.

[Using the Dao of Time and Space, you shook off the pursuit of the Immortal Emperor Tai'an, left Qingwei Heaven, and once again arrived at the Feathered Soil within the Imperial Mausoleum.]

[While you were in seclusion in a region near the Thunder Tribulation Lake, a spacetime of the Immortal Universe that merged with the Feather Transformation Soil, you were continuously releasing your own aura.]

You are now far stronger than you were in the previous simulated battle against the Nine Extremes Thunder Dao.

The greatest strength of the Nine Extremes Thunder Emperor lies not in his cultivation level, but in his ability to control the power of the Innate Dao Palace and the Thunder Tribulation Lake.

Although the Thunder Tribulation Lake is powerful, you cannot leave it. If the Nine Extremes Thunder Emperor attacks you, you will have no choice but to use the Innate Dao Palace.

[If you carefully confront the Nine Extremes Thunder Emperor, who only possesses the Innate Dao Palace, you can kill him and reclaim the Innate Dao Palace.]

[While you're in seclusion, wait for the Nine Extremes Thunder Emperor to come knocking on your door.]

Soon, a century had passed in the blink of an eye.

[The cats, dogs, and rabbits, unable to bear the loneliness, bid you farewell and returned to the myriad realms. You did not stop them, only reminding them to be careful, before continuing your seclusion.]

For the past hundred years, all you've seen in your mind is the image of Lu Chenling's delicate body being burned by the Dao Fire.

Your progress in cultivation is extremely slow. You understand that this is because you have inner demons, or internal demons, hindering your practice.

But you also know very well that your path is my path, and cultivating my path is for the sake of clear thinking.

[Lu Chenling died to save you; how can you possibly accept that?]

Three years later, the cat, dog, and rabbit returned to the Land of Immortality.

You are surprised and don't understand why the cats, dogs, and rabbits returned to the Feathered Soil so quickly.

"Jiang Chuan, something terrible has happened!" Ancestor Ziyun's face was grave.

"Ancestor, what happened?" Jiang Chuan asked, his brows furrowed.

"After Tai'an killed Lu Chenling and seized control of Qingwei Heaven, he immediately purged the sects that supported Lu Chenling!"

Ancestor Ziyun was deeply saddened: "The Bodhi Temple, Taisu Immortal Palace, Dongji Sect, Wanmu Dao Palace, Zhuxian Island, Qisha Demon Sect and other sects have all been purged. Kongming, Kongbei, Jinghui, Xiang Donglai, Meng Luoshu, Zhuo Yunsheng and others have all been killed by Tai'an's men!"

"What?! What did you say?! The abbot, my senior brother, Donglai—they're all dead?!?"

Jiang Chuan couldn't believe it; he couldn't believe what he was hearing.

Memories of picking rice and chopping firewood with Jing Hui, Abbot Kongming teaching him the "Future Constellation Scripture," killing Huang Chong's remnant soul with Xiang Donglai and Meng Luoshu, and slaughtering gods with Zhuo Yunsheng kept flooding his mind.

Jiang Chuan's eyes widened in fury: "Ah!!! Tai An! I'll tear you to pieces!!!"

Taihuang bit Jiang Chuan's calf to prevent him from actually going to fight Tai'an Immortal Emperor.

"Calm down! Jiang Chuan, you need to calm down! You're no match for him; going now will only be suicide!"

"Yes! Jiang Chuan, you must calm down! As long as you're alive, you can always rebuild!" Rabbit also advised.

Jiang Chuan lowered his eyes and looked at Taihuang, who was biting him, and spoke again: "Taihuang, I hope you can do me a favor."

"What kind of help?" Taihuang asked.

"You help me block the Taixu Immortal Palace." Jiang Chuan said, emphasizing each word.

Taihuang had a bad feeling: "What are you going to do?"

"I will devour the sun and moon of all realms!"

Jiang Chuan's gaze seemed to pierce through the void, looking at the sun and moon that illuminate all the heavens and myriad worlds, bringing light to all living beings.

"You are crazy!"

Taihuang was utterly horrified: "Do you know the consequences of what you're doing?! The sun and moon shine upon all living beings, and all things and spirits depend on them for growth. Without the sun and moon, all living beings in the myriad worlds will perish! Your attempt to devour the sun and moon of all worlds is tantamount to annihilating all living beings in the myriad worlds! Even the Great Luo Immortals wouldn't dare to do such a thing! The Great Luo Immortals of all the heavens and myriad worlds will surely take action and kill you!"

"That's why I hope you can help me block the Taixu Immortal Palace."

Jiang Chuan's eyes were filled with determination and killing intent: "Tai An cultivates the Dao of Heaven and Earth, and the Dao of Chaos is his nemesis. I devour the sun and moon of all realms, absorb the power of Yin and Yang, and reverse the chaos. I will surely be able to push my Dao of Chaos to an unbelievable level. Then I will have the strength to kill Tai An!"

[You know very well that your inner demons have taken hold, and even if you were to cultivate for millions of years, you would hardly make any progress. Therefore, you have no choice but to take an unorthodox approach.]

Seeing your resolute determination, Taihuang knew he couldn't change your mind, but he said he could only try, unsure if he could stop Daoist Taixu.

[Taihuang is merely the spirit of a primordial spiritual treasure; how could it possibly stop its master?]

[Originally, you also thought that Taihuang could stop Daojun Taixu, but you hoped that Daojun Taixu would give you face by letting you kill Immortal Emperor Tai'an, and then kill you.]

[You now have only one thought in your mind: kill Emperor Tai'an!]

With unwavering resolve and a death wish, you returned to the myriad realms and began devouring the suns and moons of all worlds.
