My version of Heavenly Dao is too old, so it's full of bugs.

Chapter 414 History has entered a new juncture!
[Should we invite Confucius?]

After a moment of stunned silence, the Ancient Dragon God burst into wild laughter: "Hahahaha! Don't you know that Confucius has become the one who will settle the great calamity? Unless the calamity arrives, he will never appear in the world again!"

[You think you can invite Him here just by wearing these two tattered Confucian robes and Confucian crown?]

【What a joke! 】

The ancient dragon god wriggled its body, arrogantly binding Li Wei tightly, and sneered: "Even if you want to scare people, you should at least come up with a suitable excuse, kid!"

Can Confucius's relics summon Confucius?
Of course it is!
But that must be during its peak.

The treasures left by Confucius have been severely damaged by the Heavenly Dao, and unless the Heavenly Dao intervenes, they can never be repaired.

Unfortunately, Heaven despises Confucius and would never repair this object. Even if Heaven were willing to repair it, the Heavenly Court would probably not be willing to release Heaven.

Therefore, this ancient dragon god didn't even believe that Li Wei could repair Confucius's relics, let alone summon Confucius!

Dragons are far too arrogant.
Pride, the ancient dragon god, was so convinced of his judgment that he rashly approached Li Wei without even bothering to check.

It gives off a feeling of "If you're so capable, summon Confucius and show him to me."

Just take a look!
Confucius, the purifier from ancient times, appeared suddenly before the ancient dragon god like a ghost, and then grabbed His dragon horns.

By then it's too late to run!
At such close range, the Ancient Dragon God had no chance to dodge and could only watch as Confucius appeared smilingly in front of him.

Then the dazzling golden dragon scales burst open, and the mighty Dragon God couldn't help but let out a scream full of fear!

It really is you!!

At this moment, the Dragon God no longer cared about intercepting Li Wei or protecting the secret of the Dragon Tomb.

The only thought left in His mind was to run!

Run as far as you can!

But all His struggles were in vain.

The moment Confucius grabbed the dragon's horn, it had already missed the best opportunity to escape. No matter how much divine power it used, it could not get rid of that old, large hand!

Sensing the aura of death, the ancient dragon god's eyes flashed with ruthlessness, and he actually self-destructed his physical body!
It was as if a real sun had exploded. Endless divine power, empowered by the law system, expanded continuously, forming a terrifying divine power nuclear transformation that crushed the surrounding void.

Meanwhile, the Yang spirit of the ancient dragon god, lurking beneath the explosion, was fleeing rapidly toward the outside world.

Confucius chuckled, "You certainly have a decisive nature! If I were to rely solely on myself now, I might not be able to stop you!"

[But what a pity, you insisted on courting death!]

[I can only make you the first one to face this great calamity!]

As soon as he finished speaking, an omnipresent calamity enveloped the Three Realms and poured into Confucius's body.

The translucent afterimage seemed to come alive, regaining its crimson hue. Then, boundless power of laws poured into its body, causing its cultivation level to skyrocket from Human Immortal to Earth Immortal to Celestial Immortal, finally transforming into...
Great Luo!!!
boom! ! !
The boundless power of time surged from Confucius's hand, enveloping the ancient dragon god's self-destruction power, and then breaking it down into individual characters.

【No! ! 】

After letting out a miserable scream, the Ancient Dragon God did not hesitate to self-destruct again, and this time he even gave up his own Yang God!
Without the Yang God, a deity would be certain to die, so Confucius did not waste any more power to suppress the explosion. Instead, he casually guided the explosive force forward and prepared to let it dissipate on its own.

Surprisingly, after self-destructing its Yang God and physical body, the ancient dragon god did not die. Instead, it condensed its form from the void once again and fled into the distance.

Confucius immediately reached out and pinched his chin, a hint of doubt appearing in his expression: "I am now afflicted with calamity; no matter who I target, they will surely die! Yet, He has been resurrected."

I've never heard of a self-destructing Yang God recovering so quickly. Moreover, the ancient dragon god at this moment no longer has the same golden brilliance and blood-filled appearance as before. Instead, it carries countless thick corpse energies, looking as if it had just escaped from a tomb.

[That's interesting!]

Confucius's figure flashed again, directly chasing after the ancient dragon god and once again grasping its dragon horns!

The ancient dragon god wanted to repeat his old tricks.

But this time, Confucius had an ancient bamboo slip in his hands that seemed neither real nor unreal.

Wow!

The bamboo slips were unfolded, revealing the two characters "Spring and Autumn Annals." Immediately following, the two characters flowed and transformed into an extremely tortuous river of time, which instantly swallowed the self-destructing Yang God.

In that long river, countless fragments of historical records surged up like waves, creating countless splashes.

In those waves, even the real sun appeared so small, let alone the Yang God. Thus, the self-destruction of the ancient dragon god was submerged by the waves of time, and then broken down into characters in the long river of time. The characters were arranged and combined, written on dragon scales, and finally the dragon scales condensed into bamboo strips, which were woven into a brand new book.

[In the first year of Emperor Hao's 7.19 version, the Huai River Dragon King Ao Jin attacked Li Wei, who was unlucky and died!]

The author employs the subtle and profound style of writing, clearly explaining the cause of Ao Jin's death in just a few words!
It is clear,
In Confucius's opinion, this guy died out of sheer bad luck.

As the written record entered history, Ao Jin's death became an established and unchangeable part of the past!
Confucius stood holding his book, gazing intently into the void, and said: "I'll see if you can revive this time!"

Time passed second by second, and the ancient dragon god named Ao Jin never appeared again. It was clear that this time, the ancient dragon god was indeed truly dead!
When a deity falls, strange phenomena will inevitably occur, let alone a Yang God cultivator at the second step of the Dao Integration stage.

Therefore, at this moment, whether in the Three Realms or in the temporal storm turbulence where Li Wei and others were, they could clearly see a crimson-gold star falling from the sky, trailing a long tail of flame and disappearing into the depths of the primordial chaos.

This immediately alarmed the gods in the heavens.

Is that... the divine tablet of the Dragon King of the Huai River?

Another dragon god from ancient times has fallen. It was rumored before that he was terminally ill; perhaps he died of illness this time?

[Alas! Even a True Dragon that has attained the Dao cannot escape the decay of time. It didn't even have a final, unrestrained display before vanishing directly into the darkness of the universe. How pitiful!]

The rabbit dies and the fox grieves; things of the same kind grieve.

With the situation in the Three Realms in such chaos, no one knows if they will die suddenly like the Dragon King of the Huai River. As a result, the gods' expressions became inexplicably heavy.

This wouldn't normally be surprising, but if someone were to observe and compile statistics carefully, they would find that far too many gods were affected this time.

Whether they were righteous gods of the Heavenly Court, evil demons and heretics, or those Great Luo and Great Vehicle cultivators, they all felt a deep sense of sorrow at this moment.

It's as if something is influencing their emotions, using sadness to mask certain frightening truths.

But fear cannot be hidden!
A moment later, the Three Pure Ones, the Four Emperors, the Five Elders of the Five Directions, and the Nine Saints—these top beings in the mortal world—instinctively felt a strange terror.

In particular, the nine Great Saints had already learned from Li Wei that the great calamity was coming, so they were the first to react and immediately convened an online meeting.

The dark web, controlling its own network and communicating with other powerful beings, couldn't help but murmur: "Everyone, it seems the great calamity has finally arrived!"

Although the calamity had appeared long ago, it was still brewing and had not yet begun to settle scores with this era.

And now,
The first god to be purged has appeared!

This means that Pandora's box of calamity has been opened!

This also marks the beginning of the Heavenly Dao 7.0 era, presided over by the Supreme Emperor Haotian, which has officially entered the Great Tribulation. All the settlers will return in this era!

Thinking of this, even some Great Sages couldn't help but feel terrified: "It's too fast! It's far too fast! The Heavenly Dao has only been in version 7.0 for a little over a thousand years, and has only updated 19 minor versions. Can the Heavenly Court and we really withstand this great calamity?"

There should be fewer than 30 cultivators at the Great Luo or Great Ascension realms in the Three Realms right now, right?

However, it is conservatively estimated that there are at least 15 Great Luo Realm cultivators who will return from the great calamity. These people carry the calamity and their combat power will far exceed expectations. Generally, it will take at least 2 to 3 Great Luo Realm cultivators to restrain them.

In addition, nearly a hundred beings at the Celestial Immortal, Golden Immortal, Void Refining, and Void Returning levels will descend among the liquidators.
Those guys were not only top-tier experts who had reached the third or fourth step of the Dao Integration Realm, but they also carried heavy siege weapons. Killing gods of the same realm was as easy as slaughtering pigs and dogs. If ten Purifiers joined forces, even a Great Luo Immortal might not be able to escape unscathed.

Now that things have come to this, panicking won't help. We should focus on preparing for battle! And...

The Monkey King suddenly smiled intriguedly: "This great calamity is clearly aimed at the Heavenly Court! Perhaps we can do nothing and still reap the benefits."

The seventh version of the calamity came in strange ways, and its operation was even stranger. This time, it deliberately opened a separate causal line for the Heavenly Court, keeping all the gods of the Heavenly Court in the dark. This was clearly aimed at the Heavenly Court.

Moreover, in a sense, this can be seen as the Great Calamity extending goodwill to the saints.

Vaguely,
The calamity seemed to be saying, "This time I'm only targeting the Heavenly Court. You lot, don't get involved, then this is none of your business."

Thinking of this,

Even the Great Sage Equaling Heaven felt a chill creep into his heart.

While past calamities were ruthless, they lacked this level of cunning. This time, however, it feels more "human," as if employing a "divide and conquer" tactic!

As a spiritual stone monkey, the Great Sage Equaling Heaven keenly sensed that something was amiss.

Hey! It feels like the feeling of Journey to the West is coming back. Is there some invisible hand in this world that can manipulate me now?
