I am devoted to the Tao

Chapter 515 The Sacred Heart Dao Fruit and the Power of All Heavens and Myriad Realms

Rumble!
Jiang Chuan let out a long roar that shook the river of time, and the mighty power of the Immortal Emperor radiated across countless ages.

At this moment, the immortal emperors from various timelines all turned their gazes toward the river of time.

"With such divine power, he is not far from reaching the Great Luo realm."

As a gentle voice rang out, under Jiang Chuan's gaze, the hazy mist that shrouded the medieval space slowly dissipated, and a young man emerged from it.

The young man wore a light blue robe with a dark blue ribbon tied around his waist and held a deep blue book in his hand.

He was like a sage who had stepped out of a landscape painting, possessing both the dignity of Confucianism and the elegance of Taoism.

With a pair of deep and intelligent eyes that radiated wisdom, he took a step and countless afterimages appeared.

Among these phantoms were immortals, deities, and mythical beasts; Jiang Chuan even saw a figure that resembled Taihuang.

"Woof! The Way of Myth! Jiang Chuan, this is Yuan Ming, the eldest disciple of the Sage of Literature!"

Taihuang's expression turned grave: "A peak Taiji Realm cultivator combined with a formation created by a Great Luo Immortal... this is troublesome!"

"Since Fellow Daoist Yuan Ming has arrived, I suppose Fellow Daoist Xu Meng, Fellow Daoist Song, and the others have also arrived?"

Although Jiang Chuan's words were questions, his tone was extremely affirmative.

Immediately, Xu Meng's voice came from the mist behind Yuan Ming.

"Fellow Daoist Jiang is indeed wise, knowing that we will spare no effort to kill you."

Before the words were finished, Xu Meng, Song Dasheng, Liu Yangming, and others emerged from the mist.

Sensing the aura emanating from Xu Meng and the others, Jiang Chuan smiled and said, "A Taiji Realm expert, plus nearly ten Immortal Emperors wielding three spiritual treasures—you fellow Daoists truly think highly of me."

"Fellow Daoist Jiang, you have devoured the sun and moon of countless worlds and swept across the vast universe. Who would dare to underestimate you?" Yuan Ming stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze on Jiang Chuan even more intimidating than the unsheathed Immortal Emperor Sword.

Ancestor Ziyun was very worried: "Jiang Chuan, this Netherworld Reincarnation and Wasted Life Formation is too terrifying! Let's return to the Ancient Heavenly Court!"

"The Netherworld Reincarnation Array, which covers the long river of time in the Middle Ages, does not mean it cannot spread to the ancient timeline. Moreover, Fellow Daoist Yuan Ming may not necessarily let me leave," Jiang Chuan said calmly.

"Fellow Daoist Jiang is indeed clever."

Yuan Ming clapped his hands and laughed, and then the azure book in his hand burst forth with dazzling light.

The light was neither intimidating nor sharp, but it seemed to connect countless ages and spaces, and figures emerged from the azure light.

These figures were all different: some were clad in armor, some had three heads and six arms, some had dragon heads and human bodies, and some were shrouded in divine halos. The only thing they had in common was that they were all incredibly powerful.

"To manipulate the power of myths and legends using the Way of Myth! What a wonderful Way of Myth!" Jiang Chuan exclaimed.

“My path to mythology is not just this.”

As soon as Yuan Ming finished speaking, under Jiang Chuan's gaze, surging chaotic energy burst forth from Yuan Ming's azure book.

"This breath."

The rabbit looked terrified: "No way!"

Under Jiang Chuan's gaze, a figure emerged from the chaotic energy. Although the figure was humanoid, it had no human aura whatsoever. It resembled an immortal, a god, a demon, a Buddha, and also a universe about to be created, vast and boundless.

"Jiang Chuan! He actually manifested Jiang Chuan!" Ancestor Ziyun was taken aback.

"Woof! How can even the river valley evolve?!" Taihuang was also astonished.

"Fellow Daoist Jiang transformed into the Devouring Demon Emperor, devouring the sun and moon of all the heavens and myriad realms, shaking the heavens and the earth for countless ages. He is a myth and legend in the eyes of all demonic cultivators. I cultivate the path of mythology, so naturally I can evolve into the Devouring Demon Emperor."

Yuan Ming asked with a half-smile, "Does Fellow Daoist Jiang think he can surpass himself at his peak?"

"He is not me, and he can't beat me."

Jiang Chuan looked at the Devouring Demon Emperor, who was exactly like him, and spoke again. His voice was calm, but there was an undisguised arrogance and domineering aura.

"Fellow Daoist Jiang is truly confident."

Yuan Ming narrowed his eyes slightly: "Although the Netherworld Reincarnation Array is powerful, it cannot cover the past and the future. The ancient timeline involves too many Great Luo Immortals, and if possible, I would not want to involve my junior brothers and sisters in it. How about you and I have a battle? If you defeat me, your karma with us will be wiped clean, and we will go our separate ways from now on. If you lose, you will obediently accept the Path of the Heart Saint, how about that?"

Taihuang said, "Woof! Jiangchuan, don't agree to him. Let's go back to the ancient times. They can't do anything to us then."

“Fellow Daoist Yuanming is the eldest disciple of the Sage of Literature. I believe you can be the leader of the Sage of Literature lineage, but I do not believe you can be the leader of the Sage of War lineage.”

Jiang Chuan's eyes flickered slightly as he spoke, as if he were deep in thought.

"So I said 'we,' not 'our two lineages.' With Junior Brother Fu gone, I can only be the head of our Wensheng lineage."

Yuan Ming asked, "Fellow Daoist, what do you think?"

"I was unable to fight the literary sage in his youth and witness his unparalleled brilliance, so today I will fight his disciple. I hope you can display the literary sage's former glory!" Jiang Chuan's eyes revealed a fighting spirit.

He knew that Taihuang's words made sense. If he returned to ancient times at this time, he could hide for a while, but just as the Azure Emperor asked him to release the Azure History God, some things could not be avoided!
"Good! Fellow Daoist Jiang is indeed a man of few words!"

A burning fighting spirit rose in Yuan Ming's eyes: "Stop operating the Netherworld Reincarnation Array. If Fellow Daoist Jiang can defeat me, then let him leave."

Liu Mingyang frowned slightly: "Senior Brother Yuan"

"Ok?"

Yuan Ming glanced at Liu Mingyang, who was struck dumb and swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

Xu Meng, Song Dasheng, and the others exchanged glances and simultaneously stopped operating the Netherworld Reincarnation Array. The hazy mist of death gradually dissipated, and the boundless, endless river of time reappeared.

The rabbit looked around at the powerful figures who seemed to have stepped out of mythology, and asked worriedly, "Jiang Chuan, are you confident you can defeat this guy?"

"Whether you can win or not, you'll know once you fight." Jiang Chuan clenched his five fingers.

"Fellow Daoist Jiang is right. Whether we can win or not, we'll know once we fight."

As Yuan Ming spoke, the Devouring Demon Emperor moved. His black hair danced wildly, and he resembled an unparalleled ferocious demon. A vast amount of chaotic energy surged from his palms.

The Devouring Demon Emperor used his palm as a blade, slashing down with chaotic power that transformed into a chaotic-colored blade of light, cleaving towards Jiang Chuan.

The chaotic-colored blade light was extremely sharp, like a supreme divine weapon born from chaos, possessing the sharpness to cleave the primordial universe.

"As expected, it's not my Heavenly Blade."

Jiang Chuan noticed that the Devouring Demon Emperor's aura was somewhat different from his own when he appeared.

He himself had heard many distorted myths and legends in the Qingyuan Realm. His own legends would inevitably change in the mouths of all living beings in the myriad realms over the long years.

Faced with this strike, Jiang Chuan clenched his fist.

Rumble!
The river of time trembled, stirring up towering waves.

The power of the Great Dao, including the Dao of Nothingness, the Dao of Chaos, and the Dao of Void, was extracted by Jiang Chuan using the Chaotic Primordial True Chapter.

Open Heaven Fist!

The earth, wind, water, and fire move and evolve, giving rise to all phenomena in the universe.

Jiang Chuan, imbued with the power to create heaven and earth, launched a fierce attack on the Devouring Demon Emperor.

As the Devouring Demon Emperor made his move, powerful figures born from myths and legends also joined the fray.

These powerful figures traverse the river of time, appearing in Jiangchuan's past and future.

Jiang Chuan, who is currently cultivating at Bodhi Temple, Jiang Chuan, who is in seclusion on Bamboo Fairy Island, Jiang Chuan, who is participating in the Tai Su Immortal Gathering, Jiang Chuan, who is located at Zhenbei Pass, and Jiang Chuan, who is in the future, all encounter attacks from powerful figures from myths and legends.

Boom! ! !
The clash of sword light and fist imprint unleashed a vast divine power that shook the river of time. This boundless, endless river of time surged with towering waves, impacting countless dimensions. The many powerful beings of all realms sensed this and turned their gazes towards the river of time.

"The Immortal Emperor has faced off against Yuan Ming!"

"The Sage of Literature's eldest disciple has led men to intercept and kill the Immortal Emperor!"

"Two strong forces clashing, it's uncertain who will emerge victorious?"

Boom! Boom! Boom!

One after another, powerful beings evolved from the Mythical Dao of Yuanming exploded.

A streak of crimson-gold blood flowed down from Jiang Chuan's tiger's mouth.

"Although it is an evolution of the Dao, it is still related to me, so it is indeed a bit troublesome."

As Jiang Chuan's thoughts raced, his gaze fell upon the azure book in Yuan Ming's hands.

No matter how strong the Devouring Demon Emperor is, he is essentially rooted in Yuan Ming's mythological path. Yuan Ming injects the world power from himself and his magic weapon into the Devouring Demon Emperor. It seems that the Devouring Demon Emperor is making a move, but in reality, Jiang Chuan is facing Yuan Ming and his magic weapon.

With the blessing of Yuan Ming and his magical treasures, the Devouring Demon Emperor possessed the power of nearly eighty Great Thousand Worlds.

Although it wasn't as vast as when he devoured the sun and moon of countless worlds, the sheer size of his world far surpassed that of his mere forty Great Thousand Worlds.

“Fellow Daoist Yuanming’s Mythical Dao is indeed powerful, but if you want to defeat me, you must have other tricks up your sleeve, right? Why don’t you bring them out together?”

Although Jiang Chuan's words were questions, his tone was extremely affirmative.

Yuan Ming was unaware of his release of the Azure History God, but he couldn't possibly be unaware of the Heavenly Emperor's bestowal of a precious treasure.

Thinking from a different perspective, Jiang Chuan felt that if he were to deal with himself, he would definitely make preparations to prevent him from suddenly releasing the God of History and using the wooden box to deal with him.

"Fellow Daoist's prediction is correct."

Yuan Ming nodded, and a rumbling sound rang out. Under Jiang Chuan's gaze, a huge portal rose up before his eyes.

The stone gate was enormous, with four large characters written on it: "Gate of the Heart's Path".

The four large characters, written with bold and powerful strokes, resemble a peerless being, poised to swallow the universe and encompass all directions.

The terrifying power emanated from this gate, and even a Celestial Emperor would feel suffocated in its presence.

"The weapon of the Heart Saint! The Gate to the Heart Path!"

"Wasn't this weapon supposed to have been destroyed in the legendary battle against the Demon Emperor?!"

"It's actually the Gate of the Heart!"

The powerful beings watching the battle from all the heavens and myriad realms were all surprised, never expecting that Yuan Ming would bring a weapon from a Heart Saint.

“Although the Gate of the Heart Saint was severely damaged by the Demon Emperor in the Middle Ages, it is still capable of dealing with a half-spiritual treasure after being repaired. Fellow Daoist Jiang, you cannot defeat me today, so accept your fate and inherit the Path of the Heart Saint.” Yuan Ming stood on the Gate of the Heart Saint, looking down at Jiang Chuan with an air of complete confidence.

"Accept fate?"

Jiang Chuan raised an eyebrow: "At my level, even if an immortal ancestor blocks my path or a demon ancestor brings down a tribulation, it's nothing more than a battle! Who can make me accept my fate? Who is worthy of making me accept my fate?"

The booming voice was like a celestial emperor's sword being drawn from its sheath, ringing out with a clang.

As soon as he finished speaking, the wooden box appeared above his head.

hum!hum!hum!
Thirty-three colors of divine light emanated from the wooden box, like a divine sun rising and illuminating the boundless chaotic sea.

With a thought, Jiang Chuan transformed the wooden box into a stream of light and flew toward the Gate of the Heart.

“The outcome is already decided. Fellow Daoist, any further resistance will be futile.” Yuan Ming directly activated the Gate of the Heart.

Rumble!
With a loud bang, the tightly closed gate of the Heart Path slowly opened.

Countless rays of divine light burst forth from it, forming a dazzling ball of light that floated within the Gate of the Heart.

The ball of light was not large, but it seemed to be formed by combining several universes. Even an Immortal Emperor would feel insignificant in front of it, like an ant looking up at the starry sky.

The endless phenomena such as ten suns appearing in the sky, immortals descending to earth, and a chaotic ocean arose from it, as if this ball of light was the beginning of everything, from which all things in the universe evolved.

Tao Fruit!

The Sacred Path of the Heart!

The moment Jiang Chuan saw the ball of light, he immediately understood what it was.

"No, this is not the Heart Saint Dao Fruit, at least not a complete Dao Fruit."

As a primordial spirit, Taihuang was the one who knew best how terrifying the Great Luo was.

"If the Dao Fruit that can bear the weight of several universes is true, its sheer mass alone would be enough to crush the River of Time and cause it to break!"

hum!hum!hum!
The countless strands of divine light that surged forth from the Sacred Fruit of the Heart intertwined and entangled in the river of time, evolving into a world.

The world is filled with celestial clouds and towering sacred mountains, with each divine palace resembling a divine pearl adorning the earth.

"A new realm has evolved!"

Jiang Chuan sensed the familiar aura and immediately understood what kind of method this was.

The next moment, the wooden box and the first level of the Heart Sacred Dao Fruit collided violently.

Boom! ! !
It was like the roar of three thousand celestial emperors, an incredibly loud sound that shook the past and present.

The surging aftershocks directly blew away the wooden box and the Gate of the Heart.

"Excellent! As expected of a treasure bestowed by the Heavenly Emperor!"

The azure book in Yuan Ming's hands shone brightly.

The Devouring Demon Emperor and many powerful figures from mythology joined forces to kill Jiang Chuan.

"Without the ancient Heavenly Court's treasures, and with the Immortal Emperor himself no longer at his peak, it seems the outcome is already decided."

"The Immortal Emperor is not at his peak after all!"

"If he were to devour all the heavens and the myriad worlds and regain his peak strength, I'm afraid even the Great Luo Immortals would not be able to tolerate him."

As the powerful beings of all the heavens and myriad realms were discussing the matter, Jiang Chuan stepped forward.

Boom!

Instantly, all the heavens and myriad realms seemed to tremble.

The Daoist Zhuzhao, who was watching the battle from the first level of heaven, suddenly looked up at the crimson-gold sun in the heavenly realm.

Crimson-gold flames erupted from the great sun, burning through the void and entering the river of time.

Not only the sun in the heavens, but also the stars and moon in the heavens, and even the stars in the universe, all burst forth with brilliant light.

“Before the future Star King Buddha attained enlightenment, the power of the universe he could control was nothing more than this!” A look of surprise appeared in the eyes of the Candlelight Daoist.

Jiang Chuan confronted the incomplete Great Dao of the Future Star King Buddha, clashing with his will. He not only comprehended the mysteries of the Great Dao, but also gained the Future Star King Buddha's understanding of the universe through the confrontation with his will.

By comprehending his understanding of the future Star King Buddha universe, he not only integrated more of the Heavenly Emperor's divine powers into the Chaos Primordial True Chapter, but also enabled him to gather the power of all the heavens and myriad realms to fight against his enemies!
