I am devoted to the Tao

Chapter 529 Before the Demon Emperor Achieved Dao
hum!hum!hum!
The ninety-nine-zhang-tall Qiong Cang Dao Tree, like an incomparably dazzling divine moon, flew out from Jiang Chuan's Dao Fruit and floated above his head.

"This aura! A Great Luo Immortal has descended!"

"The Celestial Dao Tree! There's no mistake! This is the legendary Celestial Dao Tree!"

"What?! This is the true form of the Heavenly Emperor of Destiny, the Azure Sky Emperor, the Azure Sky Dao Tree?!"

Exclamations of surprise emanated from the various colored Dao Fruits.

The Azure Sky Tree appeared, and its emanating divine power immediately alarmed the many lingering thoughts within the Heavenly Demon Tomb.

"Wang!"

Taihuang grinned from ear to ear: "Which of you still has any treasures from your past lives in your Dao Fruit? Hand them over! I'll have Jiang Chuan spare your lives!"

"You damned dog of the Immortal Ancestor! Do you think this is the Immortal Realm?"

With a roar like thunder, a huge golden roc flew out from a golden and black Dao Fruit.

The Peng bird's body resembled several interconnected great worlds, immensely large, with overwhelming demonic power emanating from it, enough to terrify even a Celestial Emperor.

"Peng Hai, the eldest son of Kunpeng, the first Kunpeng ancestor in the world. You still have some remnants left behind?" Taihuang asked in surprise.

“Although Emperor Rong is strong, he cannot completely kill me!” Peng Hai said coldly.

“It’s just a dead bird, Jiang Chuan, you shouldn’t waste your time on it,” the rabbit said.

"Wasting time? Although I have perished, my Dao Fruit remains, and I can still do it."

Before Peng Hai could finish speaking, he was startled.

Because the Celestial Tree moved!
Chi!
A deep blue root, like a primordial sword drawn from its sheath, pierced straight towards him.

He instinctively used his supernatural powers to fight back, but it was all in vain.

Boom!

After its roots pierced through Peng Hai's body, they headed straight for the golden and black Dao Fruit.

The moment the piercing fruit entered the Dao Fruit, the Dao principles that constituted the Dao Fruit were absorbed by the Sky Tree and entered its colorful trunk.

In an instant, Peng Hai's Dao Fruit vanished completely, like a bubble.

Only fragments of the world remained, falling from the vanished Dao Fruit, shaking the void.

All of this seemed slow, but it actually happened in the blink of an eye. Many of the lingering thoughts of celestial demons within the Dao Fruits didn't even have time to react before the battle was over.

Many lingering demonic spirits gasped in shock.

"The lingering resentment of the Penghai Ancestor was so easily extinguished!"

"Where did this powerful expert come from? His strength is so formidable!"

"Run! Run quickly! Get out of the Heavenly Demon Tomb and inform the Demon Emperor's Palace that enemies are attacking!"

Chi!Chi!Chi!
Each of the multicolored coins transformed into streaks of light, scattering and fleeing in all directions.

"Now that I've made my move, you have no chance of escaping."

Before Jiang Chuan finished speaking, the Sky Tree shone brightly.

Multicolored light burst forth from the tree trunk and branches, illuminating the entire Heavenly Demon Tomb.

Rumble!
Under the control of the Azure Sky Dao Tree, the power of the Three Thousand Great Daos transformed into divine chains that descended from the sky and coiled around each Dao Fruit.

After being bound by divine chains, each Dao Fruit was dragged toward the Sky Tree.

"Kill!"

"Let's fight this human to the death!"

"Even if it means death, he must pay the price!"

Seeing that they could not escape, the remnants of the Heavenly Demons began to fight back with all their might. One after another, Heavenly Demon divine powers flew out from each Dao Fruit, but all of this was destined to be in vain.

As the leaves of the Celestial Dao Tree swayed, the power of the Three Thousand Great Daos was like three thousand Immortal Emperor swords being drawn from their sheaths. With a single slash of sword light, all supernatural powers were annihilated.

At the same time, a multicolored Dao Fruit flew out from the Sky Tree.

After each Dao Fruit was absorbed by the roots of the Celestial Dao Tree and used to construct the Dao principles within it, the colorful Dao Fruits dissipated, leaving behind fragments of the world.

Fifty-one Great Thousand Worlds

Fifty-two Great Thousand Worlds
Fifty-three great worlds
With each breath, hundreds and thousands of Dao Fruits dissipated, and a massive amount of power from the Three Thousand Great Daos surged into the Dao Fruits embodied by the Qiong Cang Dao Tree, helping Jiang Chuan's Qiong Cang Dao Tree embodied to refine the fragments of the world.

The Dao Fruit World within the Dao Fruit of the Azure Sky Dao Tree was expanding rapidly, adding several Middle Thousand Worlds with almost every breath.

"The number of Dao Fruits at the thirteenth realm is still a bit lacking."

On the other side, the Purple Cloud Ancestor, who was cleaning up the battlefield, picked up a broken Immortal Emperor Sword and sighed.

Although all the beings in the Heavenly Demon Tomb are Heavenly Demons, they are also of varying strengths. Most of the Heavenly Demons buried in the Heavenly Demon Tomb are only at the eleventh realm, while a small number are at the twelfth realm.

The thirteen realms of celestial demons account for less than one-tenth of the total, representing only a tiny fraction of the entire Celestial Demon Tomb.

"The True Thirteen Realms are everywhere. Back in the Middle Ages, it wasn't the human race that won, but the demon race."

Rabbit knew very well how difficult it was to be born into the Thirteenth Realm. In the entire Qingyuan Realm, only one demon race, Cang Huan, had ever been born into the Thirteenth Realm. Theoretically speaking, Bai Qing was able to attain the Thirteenth Realm because the Demon Emperor bestowed upon him the Demon Emperor's Treasure.

"However, the Heavenly Demon Tomb is really poor."

Taihuang opened his mouth and swallowed a cracked pearl: "Jiang Chuan has devoured tens of thousands of Dao Fruits, and I haven't even seen a single thing that catches my eye."

"Come!"

After Jiang Chuan sensed that the Dao Fruit World within the Dao Fruit of the Qiong Cang Dao Tree had reached one hundred Great Thousand Worlds, he uttered a single word.

The pitch-black Dao Fruit, resembling the nascent form of the universe, floated above his head, like a giant, space-devouring beast opening its massive maw.

A fragment of the world that was originally flying toward the dazzling Dao Fruit was captured by Jiang Chuan and flown into his own Dao Fruit.

hum!hum!hum!
As the Primordial Chaos True Chapter circulated, the power of the three thousand Great Daos—the Dao of Nothingness, the Dao of Chaos, the Dao of Time and Space, etc.—fell from the void like a bursting dam into Jiang Chuan's Dao Fruit, transforming into a blazing Dao Fruit that enveloped and refined the world fragments that flew into his Dao Fruit.

Forty-one Great Worlds

Forty-two Great Worlds
Forty-three great worlds
Jiang Chuan's Dao Fruit World continued to expand, and he felt as if he had transformed into the Devouring Demon Emperor once again, constantly devouring the sun and moon in all realms, growing stronger with every breath.

"That's incredibly strong!"

At this moment, an old voice sounded.

Under Jiang Chuan's gaze, an old man dressed in a moon-white Taoist robe emerged from a blue Taoist fruit.

The old man's face was etched with the vicissitudes of time, yet it also exuded a serene and wise demeanor that seemed detached from worldly affairs.

The white Taoist robe fluttered in the wind, like the feathered robe of an immortal in the clouds, simple yet elegant.

A jade staff flew out from the Dao Fruit and landed in his hand. The head of the staff was inlaid with a bright pearl, dazzling and seemingly condensing the essence of heaven and earth.

"Imperial Tutor! Your lingering resentment has not yet dissipated!" A surprised voice came from a Dao Fruit.

"Woof! Zhu Hua! It's you!"

Taihuang's eyes widened in disbelief: "Jiangchuan, this is trouble! That old fellow Zhuhua is the Demon Emperor's master from back then! You need to be careful!" The Demon Emperor's master!

Jiang Chuan sized up the old man.

"Although I am the Demon King's master, He has long surpassed me."

Zhu Hua laughed and said, "You don't need to be afraid of me. Your strength is greater than mine at my peak, and even greater than my disciple before he became a Great Luo Immortal. I only have my remnant spirit left now, and I am no match for you at all."

"Victory or defeat is never determined by whether the cultivators are strong or weak."

Jiang Chuan naturally couldn't believe Zhu Hua's words. He was currently in the Heavenly Demon Tomb, which was built by the Demon Emperor. If the Heavenly Demon Tomb had left any hidden tricks, someone who could merge with the Dao could easily annihilate him!

"He's quite cautious for his young age."

Zhu Hua spoke again: "However, you don't need to worry. You must know what it means that you were able to enter the Heavenly Demon Tomb, right? Although I don't know which Grand Luo Immortal is helping you, someone who can break my disciple's methods must be a powerful figure among the Grand Luo Immortals. I'm just curious, who helped you? Was it one of the surviving Five Emperors, or someone else?"

"Which Great Luo Immortal does the Imperial Tutor think it is?"

Jiang Chuan's eyes flickered slightly. In his heart, he felt that this void passage was most likely the work of the Azure Emperor, but if it was the Azure Emperor, then there was one question that could not be explained.

He has already met the Azure Emperor twice, so why didn't the Azure Emperor mention this matter?
This is a major event that could help Jiang Chuan achieve enlightenment, so the Azure Emperor had no reason not to mention it!
Therefore, he speculated that this passage connecting to the Heavenly Demon Tomb was likely the work of another Great Luo Immortal.

“You possess the Celestial Tree, which theoretically should be the work of a powerful figure from the Heavenly Court, but to be honest, you don’t seem to be a member of the Heavenly Court.”

Hearing what the candlelight said, Jiang Chuan asked with great interest, "Why does the Imperial Tutor think I don't seem like a person from the Heavenly Court?"

“I have seen many celestial beings in the Heavenly Court. The paths they cultivate and their appearances are all different, but they have one thing in common: they are all very timid!” Zhu Hua replied.

"timid?"

"That's right. They fear the Heavenly Emperor, the Five Emperors, and the Great Luo Immortals. Because everything they have was given to them by the Five Emperors. What the Five Emperors can give, they can also take back. So they fear the Five Emperors and the Great Luo Immortals who are at the same level as the Five Emperors."

Zhu Hua stared intently at Jiang Chuan: "Everyone of them shows a subtle change in tone when they mention Da Luo; they become respectful. But you are different. There is no fear in your words. Therefore, you are definitely not a person from the Heavenly Court."

Jiang Chuan smiled casually: "What's so scary about the Great Luo?"

Zhu Hua narrowed his eyes slightly: "You can trigger the Great Luo Tribulation at any time. Are you really not afraid of the Great Luo? Not afraid of the Great Luo bringing down the tribulation?"

"At my level, even if the Demon Ancestor brings down tribulation or the Immortal Ancestor obstructs my path, it's nothing more than a battle!" Jiang Chuan's voice was resounding, like ten thousand Immortal Emperor swords clanging and shaking space and time.

"What a fine argument! It's just a war!"

Zhu Hua clapped his hands and laughed: "What a pity! What a pity that I have already perished, otherwise I would have summoned all the demons to completely annihilate you!"

"The Imperial Tutor has not yet answered my question."

As Jiang Chuan spoke, fragments of the world flew into the Dao Fruit that he and the Qiong Cang Dao Tree had transformed into.

Seventy-one Great Worlds

Seventy-two Great Worlds
Seventy-three great worlds
Jiangchuan's Dao Fruit World is expanding rapidly.

“Opening a void passage is not difficult for any Grand Luo cultivator. But to suppress my disciple’s abilities and open a void passage without anyone noticing is something that an ordinary Grand Luo cultivator cannot do.”

Zhu Hua's expression turned solemn: "The Heavenly Demon Tomb was only built after the Heavenly Court War ended. Although my disciple had not yet reached the Dao Integration stage at that time, he was close to the peak of the Great Luo Realm. How many people in the myriad realms have the means to suppress a Great Luo Realm expert and open a void passage?"

"The Demon Ancestor? The Immortal Ancestor? Or the Supreme Dao Lord?"

These three were the only ones Jiang Chuan could think of.

Because, currently, in the entire universe, only these three are suspected of having reached the point where they can merge with the Dao.

“I have no connection with these three people, so logically they have no reason to help me.”

Although Jiang Chuan had obtained the Demon Ancestor's scriptures, he did not believe that just because he had practiced the Demon Ancestor's scriptures, he was a direct descendant of the Demon Ancestor.

As for the Immortal Ancestor...
The Immortal Ancestor did tacitly allow Taihuang to summon his true form, but he truly did not believe that he had any relationship with the Immortal Ancestor.

“Young man, your thinking is actually wrong. The great Luos are not necessarily helping you because you have a relationship with them.”

Zhu Hua paused, then continued, "For mortals, thinking three steps ahead for every step they take is wisdom. But for the Great Luo, thinking thirty thousand steps ahead for every step they take is nothing. He helps you not because of any relationship with Him, but because He hopes you will do something for Him in the future."

"future."

Jiang Chuan clasped his hands in thanks and said, "Thank you, Imperial Tutor, for clearing up my doubts."

"I can't stop you, and I don't want to stop you."

Zhu Hua's eyes revealed a resolute look: "You came to the Heavenly Demon Tomb today, both to help you as a Great Luo Immortal and to steal the fortune of my demon race. If you promise not to exterminate my demon race when you attain the Great Luo Immortal realm, I will not stop you. Otherwise, I will fight you even if it means my remaining spirit dissipates!"

"All spirits can become demons, and to exterminate demons is to exterminate all spirits. Even if I, Jiang, am heartless, how could I possibly exterminate all spirits?"

The fact that the Demon Emperor perished, the Dragon Ancestor and the Phoenix Mother separated from the demon race, and that neither the Sage of Literature nor the Sage of War could destroy the demon race, is enough to explain everything.

Just like the demonic path, the immortal path, and the Buddhist path, the demonic path is already a great path imprinted in the universe.

As long as the evil path exists, the demonic path will not perish.

Who can annihilate all life?

Who dares to annihilate all living beings?

"With your words, I am relieved. Nothing lasts forever; everything rises to its peak and then declines. My demon race has experienced prosperity and is now in decline, but there should be a day when it will rise again. I just don't know if I will be able to see it when I return."

After Zhu Hua finished speaking, his body slowly began to dissipate.

"Imperial Tutor!"

"The Imperial Tutor is about to disappear!"

Exclamations of surprise emanated from each of the Dao Fruits.

"Under the operation of the Great Dao, who can attain the Dao, who can prosper, and who can know?"

Jiang Chuan's eyes deepened. Just as the Imperial Tutor was unclear about the future of the demon race, how could he be clear about what his own future would be like?

There's only one thing he can do now.

Achieve the Great Dao!

Break free from the chessboard woven by all the great masters and truly take control of your own destiny!
"Humans cannot be trusted!"

"Run! Then try to notify the Demon Emperor's Palace!"

"Notify the Demon Emperor's Palace! Summon the Demon Emperor's treasure and slay this human!"

One by one, the Dao Fruits tried to escape, but how could Jiang Chuan let them get away?

The power of the Three Thousand Great Daos transformed into an overwhelming array of divine chains, binding each Dao Fruit and dragging it toward the Heavenly Dao Tree.

Jiang Chuan manipulated the Dao Fruit to continuously absorb fragments of the world.

Ninety-one Great Thousand Worlds

Ninety-two Great Worlds
Ninety-three great worlds
Soon, the number of Dao Fruit Worlds in Jiangchuan Dao Fruit exceeded one hundred.

"Wang!"

Taihuang stared at Jiang Chuan: "Rabbit, you were the spirit of the future Star King Buddha back then. Do you think it's possible that this wasn't the work of the Demon Ancestor or the Dao Lord, but rather the work of the future Star King Buddha?"
