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

Chapter 494 Achieving Sainthood in the Physical Body, Protecting the Nation's Fortune!
Upon hearing Taibai Jinxing's words, Ao Xuan finally understood why the Buddhist sect, the Nine Saints Heretical Sect, and the Heaven-Slaying Alliance had not come to his aid!
So these guys all wanted the First Emperor dead!
Don't be fooled by the fact that Ao Heng is the Dragon King of the East Sea and has the ability to enter dreams, communicate with the Heavenly Dao, and know many secrets!

But in reality, He was a Dragon King born in the 7.0 era, which is too far removed from the primordial era. The Dragon Clan has also experienced too many wars, so many records about the Ancestral Dragon have long been lost and discontinued!
He truly did not know the secret of the First Dragon's merging with the Dao!

Upon realizing the Lord of War's scheme, He quickly turned to the Ancestral Dragon and asked, "Ancestor, do you have any way to break this world and escape with us?"

The First Emperor looked solemnly at Venus: "If He weren't here, things would be alright! But now... I only hope that the Heavenly Dao of this era can quickly come to our aid!"

[Hmph! At a time like this, you still have the mood to chat?]

Venus grinned maliciously and suddenly activated the [Warlord Law System] on his body. Immediately afterward, the thunderous drumming sound emanating from the supreme Dao weapon of the Dou Department, the [Primordial Chaos Book], also began to accelerate wildly, amplifying the Warlord Law System once again!

then,

Tens of thousands, millions, hundreds of millions of soldiers appeared behind the war lord at this moment, forming a war cloak that covered the nine heavens.

With this domineering military power, the strength of the masses is forcibly gathered, and the life and death of hundreds of millions of soldiers are in control, thus forming an authority that is unparalleled in the world!

—My heart is the heart of the army, and the heart of the army is the heart of Heaven!

Faced with such military might, even the vast world must change for us!

Thus, the heavens are changed, the earth is changed, and people are changed!

The historical world created by the Primordial Chaos Book finally became a complete reality at this moment, becoming the world of the Warlord!
At this moment,
The Lord of War is the undisputed ruler of the world, the "root authority holder" of this primordial realm, and the supreme administrator of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth!

then,

He borrowed boundless power from the world, raised his palm, and clenched it tightly against the Ancestral Dragon!
With a loud bang!!!
It was as if all things were born at the beginning of time, like the explosion of the universe!
In an instant, all the colors before everyone's eyes collapsed, transforming the vibrant, primordial world into a black and white vortex of goo, imprisoning the Ancestral Dragon within and frantically strangling its body and soul.

Click, click, click!

Countless sparks flew out.

The Ancestral Dragon stood in the vortex, his eyes grave, and said: "As expected of the most powerful overlord of all time, if I hadn't been careful, I might have perished today too."

Your Heavenly Court is truly dangerous!

The First Emperor spoke humbly, but his actions were domineering!
At this moment, He didn't even use any defensive or killing moves; He blocked the Lord of War's attack solely with his own physical body!

What terrifying defensive power this is!
Upon seeing this, Venus's expression grew even more serious: "You've only just recovered from the Great Dao, yet you've already managed to condense a flawless, perfect divine body?"

In the mortal realm, one cultivates the Dao body; in the immortal realm, one cultivates the immortal body; and above the immortal body lies the divine body!
Gods are omnipotent!

The divine body is naturally immortal.

The so-called perfect and flawless divine body is the pinnacle of all physical constitutions in the human world, and the limit that a cultivator's physical body can reach. This is what cultivators call physical sainthood!

The physical body is much harder to cultivate than one's spiritual realm.

After all, one's cultivation level can be accumulated slowly, but the physical body must be cleansed by external objects. For example, if a Nascent Soul cultivator wants to ascend to immortality, he must be cleansed by the blood of an ordinary god.

But once you reach the realm of gods, relying on ordinary divine blood baptism is no longer effective!
It is only possible to cleanse one's divine body with the blood of a Great Luo. If one wants to go further and achieve physical sainthood, even killing a Great Luo and exhausting its blood may not be enough. One must also undergo baptism by those innate divine objects.

For example, the Great Sage Equaling Heaven was able to achieve physical sainthood only by being baptized by the essence of the stone that mended the heavens.

Take Yang Jian for example. He was baptized by the blood of King Zhou of Shang, which was mixed with a massive amount of calamity, during the Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods, which finally made his divine body perfect.

Anyway,

While the Great Luo realm is common, a flawless divine body is rare. Many cultivators, including the War Lord, who had already entered the Great Luo realm, still failed to possess a perfect physical body!
Given that the First Emperor merged with the Dao and reshaped his physical body, it shouldn't have been possible for him to possess such a thing, right?

Zu Long sneered: "Although I passed away in the mid-prehistoric era, I was still a supreme ruler of heaven and earth, and naturally I had some trump cards of my own!"

Venus's expression turned serious: "[This is nothing but a death throes. Since that's the case! Then I'll shatter your divine body!!]"

boom!
The Primordial Chaos Book unleashed its power once more, shattering the spacetime around the Ancestral Dragon and creating a devastating black hole.

Among the surrounding dragon gods, three unlucky ones were standing within the black hole's range and were accidentally sucked in, instantly crushed into dust, creating a strange phenomenon of gods falling in the sky.

[Junior! Let's fight in a higher dimension!]

The Ancestral Dragon swam around, and with a flick of its tail, it stirred up the surrounding black holes, entangled Venus, and then ascended to a higher dimension on the spot, disappearing from everyone's sight!

The gods of the Heavenly Court and the gods of the Dragon Clan finally recovered from the oppressive power of the battle between the two top experts and regained control of their bodies once again!

Is this what a top-tier Ronaldo looks like?

[Before them, my Yang spirit couldn't even move? This is too outrageous!]

[Hmph! You should be glad that the First Emperor took the Lord of War away, otherwise, if the two of them had fought an endless battle here, at least a hundred gods would have died today!]

However, although the two Great Luo Immortals have ascended to fight, the crisis for the Dragon Gods has not been resolved. They still have to face the Heavenly Court gods in front of them with a force of three hundred!

Moreover, these Heavenly Court gods have more laws, better equipment, stronger combat power, and are also aided by the Primordial Chaos Book.

And what about the true gods of the dragon race?

They had already been weakened in seven consecutive versions, and now they were suppressed by the Primordial Chaos Book, making them no match for the gods of Heaven.

So in a short while,
More than a dozen dragon gods were seriously injured and were forced to retreat in defeat.

Seeing this, Ao Chen could no longer bear it and immediately used his dream-like abilities to send a telepathic message to the heavens: "Lord Heavenly Dao, save me!!!"

The Zhun Kingdom has now been established.

Didn't you promise to protect us?

"Where is your protection?" Heavenly Dao 7.20 heard Ao Chen's telepathic message and responded: "No need to pray, for my Emperor is already taking action!"

Ao Chen was stunned for a moment, then turned to look in Li Wei's direction, only to find that a huge altar had been erected in the center of the earth at some unknown time.

Li Wei!

This mortal had long ago cut his own wrist and used his own blood to draw an ancient altar on the earth.

That was a sacrificial ceremony to heaven?!

Ao Chen's eyes widened instantly!

Is this really a sacrificial ceremony to heaven?

Since the Heavenly Dao 1.0 era, all knowledge about the Heavenly Dao has been top secret, especially the part about the sacrificial ceremony to Heaven, which is top secret among top secrets. Therefore, it has long been completely sealed by the Heavenly Court using the Immortal Dao Meme!
Even the dragon race had their records of the ritual erased, and could no longer obtain a complete template of the sacrificial ceremony!
How could Li Wei, a mere mortal, know this?

At that moment, a surge of jealousy welled up inside Ao Shen.

[Damn it, who among us is truly favored by Heaven?!]

Li Wei could no longer hear the sounds of the outside world.

With the founding of the nation complete, the surrounding 100,000 li of land and rivers had all come under his control. Then he heard—the mountains and rivers within this quasi-nation were lamenting, the state was shaking, and the people were weeping.

That's right,

Livy's kingdom had "subjects"!

After all, this quasi-national continent was cut off from reality, so it not only includes the prosperous territory of the Central Plains, but also the rich ocean of the South China Sea, where countless creatures live.
When the gods fought, the aftershocks of various top-level immortal techniques covered the surrounding land, and all kinds of life living in Liwei's kingdom, including flowers, birds, fish, insects, and beasts, naturally suffered a great calamity!

Every second, millions of lives are destroyed.

Every battle between the gods of Heaven and the dragon race resulted in countless deaths.

These dead beings were all praying for salvation, and these prayers naturally converged on Li Wei, pressing down on his shoulders like a mountain.

[He who bears the nation's shame is the master of the state!]

[Those who bring misfortune to the nation will become the king of the world!]

This is the destiny of being the Heavenly Emperor, and also the destiny of being the Son of Heaven. After all, the laws governing the quasi-kingdom originated from the loopholes in the Heavenly Court's "administrative power" and "sovereignty," so naturally, they also inherited the Heavenly Emperor's tragedy.

When Li Wei became the ruler of the quasi-kingdom, standing in the center of this vast land, enjoying the offerings of this kingdom.

He would inevitably bear the expectations of the people of the country, be bound by the fate of the nation, and have to endure the pain of war!
then,

Without the dragons reminding them,

Li Wei also stepped forward, having already cut his own wrist, and used his own blood to write an altar for worshipping the Heavenly Way on the earth!
But an altar alone is not enough for a ritual; offerings are also required!
Therefore, Li Wei had no choice but to transform into a Kunpeng and begin stealing the remains of fallen gods from all over the battlefield, which quickly attracted the attention of the gods of the Doubu tribe.

[You villain! What are you doing?!]

The gods of the Doubu tribe, upon accidentally spotting the altar on the ground, widened their eyes and exclaimed, "[Oh no! It's a sacrificial ceremony to Heaven! This guy is trying to invoke the power of the Heavenly Dao! Stop him!]"

According to the Lord of War's plan, everyone should kill the dragon clan first, and then strangle the king.

But who would have thought that this king would actually perform a sacrificial ceremony to heaven?!
This can't be ignored!

Therefore, at least a dozen of the gods in the Doubu tribe immediately turned their weapons around and surrounded Li Wei.

Upon seeing this, Ao Chen was overjoyed: [The Heavenly Court dogs have finally gone to kill the King! Brothers, follow me to protect the King!]

They have upheld the noble cause of protecting the king!
The dragon gods immediately received the boost from the quasi-kingdom's fortune, and their combat power skyrocketed.

However, Li Wei's territory is limited to only 100,000 kilometers, so there are fewer than 50 dragon gods who can receive his blessing. If the blessing is given to a dragon god with a cultivation level of Golden Immortal or above, the number will be even smaller!
But that’s enough!
In the realm of cultivators, quality is more important than quantity!

So after Ao Xuan guided the fortune of fifty people over, he swallowed nearly half of the national protection fortune in Li Wei's country all by himself!

Boom!
A thunderous roar seemed to echo within His body!

The insurmountable barrier between realms that had been blocking the Dragon King suddenly burst open at this moment, allowing Him to glimpse the gateway to the Great Luo realm for the first time in His life. Most of His body rushed into the Great Luo realm, and it could even be said that He was now a Great Luo!

The remaining portion of the fortune was then bestowed upon the two Dragon Kings of the South and North Seas, causing their combat power to surge as well. They also advanced further to the peak of the Golden Immortal realm, the half-step Great Luo realm.

Although they were not as powerful as Ao Lian, most of their bodies entered the Great Luo.

But it still brought about earth-shattering changes.

This is the terror of a quasi-king!
Originally, the fortune of heaven and earth was limited, and could only support so many Great Luo cultivators. Therefore, Great Luo cultivators were like radishes in a hole, and even if a cultivator met the requirements, they could not enter.

However, the emperor of a quasi-kingdom can reclaim the fortune that was taken away by others by establishing the kingdom, redistribute the spoils, and elevate the protectors of the kingdom to the Great Luo realm.

As long as the Dragon Clan and Li Wei continue to stand on the same side, the three Dragon Kings will be able to continue to control less than a fraction of the power of the first level of the Great Luo Realm!
For cultivators, quantitative change is never as good as qualitative change!

Although none of the three Dragon Kings have yet achieved the Great Luo realm, and although this share of national fortune is temporary, it will eventually be returned to Li Wei's kingdom once the war ends.

But their essence has begun to undergo a qualitative change, and they possess power far exceeding that of ordinary gods.

Ao Chen excitedly licked his lips and said, "Protect Li Wei! We must help him complete the sacrificial ceremony. Then, the fortune of this nation will be even stronger!"

Today, the three of us might all be able to briefly reach the Great Luo realm, thanks to the nation's destiny!
