The God of Heavens

Chapter 332 The Source of Tao

The tiny figures formed from the divine jade of the Nine Heavens Azure Sky said that they were defeated in a great battle against the human race's powerful warriors on the ancient starry road and were imprisoned here.

"The human race's trial participants will help our Nine Heavens Kingdom occupy this land, and then we will share the source of the Dao equally."

The jade figurine stood in Lin Yu's palm, its crystal-clear body gleaming with a faint light.

Lin Yu flicked the little jade woman's head: "Without you, I can still obtain the source of the Dao."

“The Spirit Kingdom, the Demon Kingdom, and the God Kingdom are all eyeing us covetously,” Little Jade hurriedly explained. “Cooperating with us is better than being besieged by those greedy people.”

"Dare to provoke me? I'll kill you." Lin Yu's tone was calm, but it made Xiao Yuren's entire body tremble with a jade-like light.

"We are willing to follow you!" Little Jade said eagerly. "As long as you can obtain the Source of the Dao, we are willing to pay a certain price."

Lin Yu pondered for a moment: "Let's follow for now. As for whether we can get a share of the Source of Dao, that depends on our performance."

"Thank you, my lord!" Little Jade was overjoyed and quickly pointed out the direction, "A great battle is breaking out 30,000 miles ahead. Our warriors from the Nine Heavens Kingdom are fighting against the Spirit Kingdom."

In the blink of an eye, Lin Yu had arrived above the battlefield.

The scene below was quite strange—

On one side are beings formed from various divine jades, such as the Purple Flame Divine Jade, the Azure Sky Divine Jade, and the Profound Yellow Divine Jade, who are at the saint level and are fighting each other.

On the other side were cultivators from the Spirit Kingdom, their bodies enveloped in elemental light, their every move influencing the laws of heaven and earth.

“There are four great kingdoms on this ancient planet,” the little jade woman explained.
"Nine Heavens Divine Jade Kingdom, Spirit Kingdom, Demon Kingdom, God Kingdom. After our defeat against our human predecessors, we were assigned here to serve as guides."

The reason they were willing to stay here was because this planet contained the legendary source of the Dao.

Over the decades, occasionally a person with exceptional talent has obtained the Source of the Dao through a combination of opportunity and strength.

Once you obtain this item, it means you have gained the approval of Heaven and Earth, and at the very least, you will achieve the position of Heavenly King.

And this source of the Dao is the most important opportunity between the first and second trials of the human race.

Countless geniuses fiercely compete here, all for that one chance to prove their Dao.

Lin Yu stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze piercing through the chaotic battlefield: "Divine Jade Spirit, accompany me. As for the Source of the Dao, it is nothing more than a piece of my bag."

The battlefield ahead was filled with deafening battle cries, various magical artifacts slicing through the sky, the black iron chariots of the Demon Kingdom crushing the earth, the elementalists of the Spirit Kingdom summoning thunder, and the golden warriors of the God Kingdom charging in formation.

Blood stained the ancient land; if not for the protective barriers, this land would have crumbled a hundred times over.

"Certainly."

Lin Yu uttered a single word, and time and space suddenly froze.

On that battlefield, a demon general from a demon kingdom threw a demonic spear that froze in mid-air. The black spear was thicker than a beam and over ten feet long, with a sharp and cold edge.

The demon general, who had been filled with murderous intent just moments before, was now filled with terror, the shadow of death looming over his heart.

The entire battlefield fell into an eerie stillness.

The radiant magical artifact hovered in mid-air, the fluttering banner froze in place, the sacred artifact fell silent, and even the raging, roaring beast froze in place, forgetting to move an inch.

Thousands of flying swords hovered in the air, their cold light swirling and condensing into a rain of light. Those deadly weapons that could annihilate living beings were all imprisoned by an invisible force, losing their edge.

Everything fell silent, and the area appeared quite peaceful.

At this moment, wisps of light rose from somewhere underground, and a most primal aura emanated from the earth.

That is the source of the Dao, representing the approval of Heaven and Earth.

He strolled to the brightest spot, reached out and beckoned, and the Source of the Dao, like a gentle spirit, obediently fell into his palm, radiating a soft Daoist charm.

"Just like that, we got it?" Little Jade stammered, her crystalline body shimmering with shock.

Lin Yu played with the Source of the Dao, sensing the profound principles of heaven and earth contained within it. Suddenly, he looked up at the sky—

"You've been watching for so long, why haven't you shown yourself yet?"

"Boom——"

The void shattered as three terrifying figures arrived together. Demonic energy, holy light, and divine radiance intertwined, the three Saint King-level powerhouses exuding overwhelming power!
"Human Trial Bearer, you are indeed extraordinary, capable of overpowering all the Saints, but you are still some distance from becoming a Saint King!"

The Spirit Lord of the Spirit Kingdom smiled.

“That’s right, human trial participant. You don’t want to be hunted down by all our nations, do you?” the ancient saint of the Divine Kingdom said with a cold expression.

The Demon King unleashed his killing intent directly, and dark demonic flames swept in all directions. Although the forces of the three major powers had not yet made a move, they had already formed an encirclement.

Clearly, with the source of the Tao before them, no one would give up easily.

"Are you done talking?" Lin Yu's eyes were indifferent.

"I advise you not to make a mistake!" The Demon Saint's expression turned cold as he sensed the killing intent emanating from Lin Yu.

"Noisy."

Lin Yu remained indifferent, activating his escape technique to pierce through layers of space and time. Everyone only saw a blur before Lin Yu appeared before the Demon Saint, raising his hand to deliver a punch.

"boom!"

Blood rained down!

The Demon Saint's body shattered like porcelain, his bones, brains, and holy blood splattering across the sky, turning the surrounding mountains and rocks crimson.

This bloody and violent scene sent chills down everyone's spines, so much so that the vast primeval mountain range fell eerily silent for a moment.

"Ah! Kill him!"

The next moment, the demon cultivators finally reacted, and dozens of great demons soared into the sky.

Lin Yu remained expressionless, raising his hand to cover the sky.

"Puff puff!"

The palm struck like the sky collapsing, and one demonic body after another exploded. In the blink of an eye, more than thirty great demons were all annihilated, and severed limbs fell like rain, turning the earth into a blood-red lake.

The scene was terrifying, but the allure of the Source of the Dao was too great for anyone to easily give up.

"Kill!" The shouts of battle echoed throughout the entire primeval mountain range almost instantly.

"Chichichi..."

A shower of light fell, these were flying swords, each about the length of a palm, numbering in the hundreds, which sliced ​​a majestic mountain range into flat ground and flew toward Lin Yu.

"Buzz!"

Giant nets, dazzling and imposing, covered the sky. Each one seemed to be woven from a galaxy, and every thread was terrifyingly boundless, with starlight surging down as if ancient stars were rotating and pressing down.

"boom!"

A massive treasure seal descended from the sky, seemingly overturning the heavens, its terrifying holy kingly aura spreading outwards. The holy king of the Spirit Kingdom had also made his move.

Various magical artifacts flew about, their cold light blinding, and they often caused mountains to crumble and rivers to dry up.

"kill!"

Lin Yu let out a long roar that shook the heavens, shattering all the flying swords and giant nets in an instant. The golden treasure seal was also sent flying by his palm, directly crashing towards the Spirit Clan Saint King.

"puff!"

With a swift movement, Lin Yu appeared before the Spirit King like a ghost, his hands flashing like heavenly blades, tearing the Spirit King in two!

Holy blood cascaded down like a waterfall, irrigating the mountains and rivers, causing the entire battlefield to tremble.

"How can it be?"

"The Spirit King... was also killed by him!"

In a short time, two holy kings fell one after another, which was completely beyond their comprehension. The battlefield fell into dead silence, and everyone was frozen in place like clay sculptures.

Lin Yu's gaze was like lightning, locking onto the ruler of the Divine Kingdom.

"boom!"

Suddenly, a blinding divine light shot into the sky, and seventy-two array flags rose into the air, landing in all directions around Lin Yu, forming an ancient forbidden array capable of slaughtering a Saint King.

Amidst the blinding light, chains of killing intent intertwined, engulfing Lin Yu completely.

"The Divine Kingdom's Nation-Protecting Forbidden Formation!"

"That king actually took action himself?"

The trial participants who had rushed from afar were horrified, while the ruler of the divine kingdom seized the opportunity to transform into a streak of light and frantically flee towards the horizon—

He dared not gamble that the killing formation could trap that demon god!

"Are you leaving?"

Lin Yu let out a cold shout, and facing the many banners of the Divine Kingdom's ruler, his palms shone with divine light as he grabbed at the many ancient array banners.

"Zheng!"

The sound of metal tearing reverberated through the heavens. Amidst the horrified gazes of countless people, he seized those ancient array flags, powerful enough to suppress even a Saint King, and ripped them apart.

"That's the foundation of a divine king who suppressed all nations!" Many people gasped.

Those eighteen ancient array flags were absolutely capable of killing a Saint King, yet he tore them apart with a wave of his hand. Just how powerful must this person be?

That wasn't all. Lin Yu took a step forward, and the world turned upside down, instantly cutting off his retreat.

"die!"

A simple punch was thrown, yet it made the entire world tremble, and boundless divine light instantly engulfed the God King.

"Do not--"

Amidst a piercing scream, the Saint King-level expert's physical body exploded, his golden divine blood staining the sky crimson, and his primordial spirit was simultaneously shattered into a rain of light, resulting in the complete annihilation of his form and soul!

In the blink of an eye, all three Holy Kings perished!
The battlefield was deathly silent, with only the mountain wind carrying the stench of blood. The once menacing allied forces of the three kingdoms were now ashen-faced and devoid of any will to fight.

"Hmm?" Lin Yu turned his gaze to the Jade Master of the Nine Heavens, who was about to sneak away.

"Why did I get involved in this mess!" The Jade Master of the Nine Heavens was filled with regret. Why did I have to come to this place to steal the Source of the Dao?
If it could do it all over again, it vowed it would choose Li Bai.

Bah! I would never come here to try and get a bargain!
The next moment, with a single step, the mountains and rivers reversed, and Lin Yu stood in front of it.

"Spare me, my lord!" The Nine Heavens King, barely a foot tall and shimmering with crimson light, cried out in terror. The arrival of the Great Demon King had robbed him of any courage to resist.

"I am willing to offer all the treasures of the Nine Heavens Divine Jade Kingdom!"

Lin Yu nodded slightly: "You're quite clever. I do need your clan to do something for me."

Of course, this person did not participate in the siege, which is also one of the reasons; otherwise, the dead Divine Jade Spirit could also be studied.

Now, it can help him take control of this world.

"I will obey Your Majesty's decree!"

The entire Nine Heavens Divine Jade Kingdom instantly erupted in excitement, with numerous sages personally bringing various ancient medicines and rare treasures as offerings.

In addition, there were the cultivation techniques of the Divine Jade Clan and information about their growth period, all of which were the clan's top secrets, which Lin Yu obtained.

Nine more semi-saint level Jade Clan members knelt on the ground, each one crystal clear and radiating a lustrous, precious light.

The Jade King of the Nine Heavens said that these were the most outstanding descendants of their kingdom, and that they should serve Lin Yu as his attendants.

"She's quite sensible."

With a wave of his sleeve, Lin Yu collected all nine semi-saint jade figures and numerous treasures, including the unrefined divine jade ore.

In their eyes, the non-spiritual Nine Heavens Divine Jade and the spiritual Nine Heavens Divine Jade belong to two different races. These unintelligent ones are not considered to be of the same race, but are merely materials for refining weapons.

"My lord, this is our nation's sacred weapon," said the Jade Lord of the Nine Heavens, holding a jade sword with a fawning expression.

"Keep it for self-defense," Lin Yu said calmly. "Take good care of this realm, and your own destiny will come in the future."
