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

Chapter 553 The Tribulation of the Three Calamities, Is He One of the Three Pure Ones?!
The Three Calamities and Nine Tribulations are always an integrated whole. Only by overcoming the Nine Tribulations and passing through the Three Calamities can a Golden Immortal without flaws cultivate into a Great Luo, completely prove the Dao, and possess the most powerful force in the human world!
But precisely because of this, the nine difficulties are hard to overcome, and the three calamities are hard to surmount!
Especially the three calamities!
Unlike the power of the Nine Calamities, which is used to bind cultivators and drag them back into the quagmire of the mortal world, the power of the Three Calamities is a power truly used to kill, with the purpose of causing people to die and their Dao to be extinguished!

Because the paths of cultivation differ, the three calamities experienced by cultivators will also vary slightly.

For example, Buddhist practitioners who have attained enlightenment and transcendence must overcome the calamities of water, fire, wind, and emptiness.

Taoist cultivators, because they cultivate the way of combining internal and external practices, must overcome the calamities of the transformation of the three paths of Heaven, Earth, and Man.

As for ancient masters like Taiyi Zhenren, they cultivate the path of following the will of Heaven and the Mandate of Heaven, so they must overcome the calamity of the change of the balance of Qi, destiny, and fate!
The so-called Qi is
It's fate!
All mortal beings in the Three Realms possess vital energy. Even the smallest insects and fish living in the ocean currents need to exchange their own vital energy for the vital energy of heaven and earth.

Between breaths, the number of breaths enters and exits, just like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. Whether one's breath is short or long, long or short, depends entirely on how much heavenly secrets one can seize, and how much human secrets heavenly secrets can take away from one's body.

Therefore, even cultivators at the levels of Da Luo, Mahayana, and Buddha must breathe naturally, compete with the creation of heaven and earth, gather energy in their bodies, and find ways to inhale more and exhale less, to gain more and lose less, in order to achieve a state of perfect harmony and no leakage.

The first of the three calamities encountered in the path of the Chan sect is the loss of people's life force!

All of a sudden.

Covered in blood, Taiyi Zhenren felt his blood suddenly reverse direction, surging through his body like an engine, squeezing out all the vital energy from his flesh.
Then exhale outwards!

Only exhale, no inhale; only expel, no inhale!
Taiyi's expression visibly turned ashen, his entire being enveloped in a deadly sense of suffocation, and as if pleading with a gash, he began frantically leaking his power, lifespan, and vitality outwards.
Cultivation level!!
Thus, His cultivation level finally dropped from the Golden Immortal realm, directly becoming the peak Heavenly Immortal, late Heavenly Immortal, and mid Heavenly Immortal, and it continues to decline.

Now,
Li Wei finally managed to reach His heels!
Having been passively attacked all along, he suddenly raised his head, his flesh and blood being reshaped by the lightning, and then he suddenly activated his own domain.

Boom!
The Lesser Hell of the Washing Life Orthodox Sect descended from nothingness, the [Qian Dao - Supreme Formlessness] law was activated, and then the power of the "Jade Void Dragon Corpse" digested in the stomach was frantically injected into the hell.

then!!
Hell rose, and the world giant was born. Li Wei, carrying the power of an entire small hell, smashed a fist into Taiyi Zhenren, instantly turning him into a pile of minced meat.

The meat sauce suddenly burst into maniacal laughter in the air, bubbling and boiling as if cooked, and a mad voice rang out: "Li Wei, mere violence cannot kill! Because we live in a world governed by the laws of nature."

【Whatever.】

Originally, I didn't want to enter this realm, but now...

Boom! ! !

Taiyi had accumulated countless years of cultivation at the Golden Immortal level. At this moment, it was like a dam releasing floodwaters, spreading out from the void and forming a pair of pure white hands as soft as lotus roots.

He then formed hand seals, as if activating a key to verify his identity, continuously revealing his secrets to heaven and earth.

[Jade Void Divine Power - Second Fruit! Open!!]

【Don't even think about it!!】

Li Wei, carrying the World Giant, suddenly opened his mouth and swallowed Taiyi Zhenren whole, intending to use the power of the Little Hell World Giant to completely suppress him.

This is also a move by Li Wei imitating Tiandao 7.20 piloting a Gundam!
When Heaven used this move in 7.20, it could even seal off a Great Luo Immortal.

Although Li Wei has not yet reached the level of Heavenly Dao 7.20, and his Little Hell is not as vast as the 100,000-mile territory of the Dragon Slave Kingdom, it is still more than enough to suppress a Taiyi at the Heavenly Immortal realm.

The problem is that Taiyi's cultivation level is increasing rapidly, rising from the Heavenly Immortal realm to a rocket-like ascent.

His body, which had turned into a pile of minced meat, had been completely reshaped. Just like his lotus root-like white hands, it condensed into a lotus root-like white body, and then took a deep breath towards heaven and earth.

In an instant,
The calamity of impending doom was shattered, and Taiyi's physical body once again became perfectly balanced and flawless. Even the power of the Nine Tribulations within him was suppressed.

【Li Wei, do you know how the cultivators of our Chan and Jie sects overcome the three calamities and nine tribulations to become Great Luo Immortals?】

[Oh! I forgot, you're just a mortal, how could you know such secrets? Well then, I'll be kind and tell you! We're undergoing tribulation.]

[It's all about borrowing lives!]

A terrifying stone figure, as large as Mother Earth and blotting out the sky, suddenly appeared, standing behind Taiyi Zhenren with its head bowed like a robot.

Let me introduce you to my junior sister! She was the catalyst for the Investiture of the Gods, the first disciple of the Jie Sect to die, and also the first person I borrowed life from—Lady Shiji!

[Junior Sister! Say hello to the younger generation of cultivators.]

Shi Ji suddenly opened her eyes like a puppet, revealing two dark, abyss-like holes, and then suddenly threw a punch at the giant of the Little Hell World.

boom! ! !
The sky cracked, the earth collapsed, and the world crumbled!
The giant of the small hellish world that Li Wei had transformed into collapsed like a bubble under this punch, turning into a rain of earth and rocks as it flew backward.

A cold smile appeared on Taiyi Zhenren's lips as he roared like a madman: "You brat! Even though I'm a Golden Immortal, do you really think I lack the power of a Great Luo Immortal?!"

Li Wei could no longer hear it at this moment.

Because his flesh and blood had collapsed, his soul had shattered, all the law entries on his body had cracked, and even his cultivation support panel had been beaten so badly that it started to flicker and become unstable.

If it weren't for the fact that he had loopholes in the laws of magic, he might have already been completely annihilated by this punch.

[Huh? They're still alive?]

Taiyi Zhenren gave a cold laugh, then suddenly soared up and sat cross-legged on top of Shiji Niangniang's head.

The two laws of Qian and Kun, which were sealed by the Heavenly Court, flowed within His and Lady Shiji's bodies. Taiyi governed Qian like Heaven, and Shiji governed Kun like Earth.
Heaven and earth unite, Qian and Kun intersect.
Bathed in the boundless lightning tribulation, it exuded an indescribable mysterious Daoist charm, much like a creation myth.

Since you're not dead, then return everything you have to the heavens and earth!

Taiyi and Shiji simultaneously extended their right hands, their fat, fleshy hands and pitch-black stone hands one above the other, like the sky pressing down on the earth, enveloping Li Wei in the universe and forming a furnace of heaven and earth.

The young man smiled bitterly and said, "Lord Taiyi, haven't you heard that Heaven creates all things to nourish man, and man has nothing to offer to Heaven? I, Li Wei, have nothing to return to Heaven and Earth!"

[But you, if the life you borrowed isn't strong enough, then things will get interesting!]

Li Wei grinned maliciously and raised his hand, in which he held a plump baby who looked exactly like Taiyi Zhenren!

Taiyi's pupils immediately contracted!
damn it!
Is this my own child, born out of sheer misfortune?
But didn't I just use my life to suppress Jiunan? When did this guy take my son away?

Heavenly Dao 0.81 sat obediently inside Li Wei's body. Ha!
It wasn't me wearing the Dragon Transformation Crown loophole, using the Hidden Heavenly Authority to sneak up to your side, and then using the Great Thief Heavenly Secrets entry to steal it.

How could I, a dignified being of Heaven, do something like stealing someone's child?
Looking at the grown-up boy, Taiyi Zhenren finally panicked: "Li Wei!! You stop right there!"

"Wow!!!"

The eldest son suddenly let out a violent scream.

Because Livy had already imprinted his own mark of hell on him, pouring endless hellish torment into him!

Logically speaking, even a war god like Yang Jian couldn't withstand such pain, so a newborn baby should have fainted instantly. However, the purpose of the son born by calamity was to torment Taiyi, and Taiyi was now shrouded in calamity, receiving double the blessing.

then,

The child stubbornly refused to faint and endured all of Li Wei's pain!
Then, the power of the Three Calamities and Nine Disasters, along with the calamity, amplified this portion tenfold or a hundredfold, and through that infant's cry, directly poured it into the mind of Taiyi Zhenren, causing his face to turn crimson.

【Lord Taiyi, how is the hellish wine I've brewed in my heart?】

Taiyi Zhenren's forehead veins bulged, and his head exploded with a bang. However, because he had already crushed his own brain, nothing came out, and he could not release the pressure brought by this pain.

You are despicable.

【Me, despicable?!】

As if he had heard something unbelievable, Li Wei accelerated the digestion of the "Jade Void Corpse Dragon" within his body, drawing upon the power of a Golden Immortal and pouring it into the remains of the Ancestral Dragon.

[You bullied me with your Golden Immortal cultivation level. If you kill me, should I blame you for not fighting me in the mortal realm?!]

boom!
The nine ferocious dragon heads suddenly opened their mouths and bit Taiyi like venomous snakes, pouring all nine changes that occurred during the evolution of the Ancestral Dragon into it.

[Ancestral Dragon Remnant Effect 2: Poison of Transcendent Evolution - Enemies bitten by you will undergo nine consecutive fundamental changes in their true nature within the next nine seconds. If they cannot defy fate like the Ancestral Dragon did and sever their true nature nine times in a row, they will perish on the spot!]

[Note: This effect ignores rank, cultivation level, and defense; it is guaranteed to work.]

【Join me in the glorious evolution!!! Lord Taiyi!!!】

Thus, almost all of Taiyi Zhenren's power was forcibly drained and sent into his physical body, forcibly initiating his own flesh and blood evolution.

But the problem is, throughout the history of immortals, only the First Ancestral Dragon accomplished the heaven-defying feat of rebirth through nine acts of self-destruction. Could Taiyi have done it?
The answer is clearly no!
An overwhelming fear gripped Taiyi Zhenren's heart. He abruptly took out a stick of incense, stuck it on his forehead, and knelt before the heavens, pleading: "Master! Save me!!"

boom!
A beam of purple-gold light descended from the sky, forcefully suppressing the evolutionary poison within His body.

Li Wei frowned as he watched this scene, about to step forward to stop it.
But suddenly, he stopped in his tracks, and as he slightly tilted his ear, he heard a series of eerie echoes of fate spreading through the void—the voice of calamity!
Heh, looks like the great calamity has come for you!

People have both destiny and fortune.
Qi is the carrier of fortune, and even more so, the manifestation of fortune. When the Qi that Taiyi Zhenren exhaled was taken away by heaven and earth, the calamity of fortune gained a medium to attack Taiyi, but it was just waiting for the right opportunity.

And now,
The time has come!

The tribulations of Taiyi Zhenren, the great calamity of heaven and earth, and Li Wei's tribulation of ascension—all three calamities converged at the same time and were poured into the breath Taiyi Zhenren had just exhaled, and then poured back into his body.

Taiyi's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly sealed his mouth and nose acupoints, trying to prevent the return of the fortune invaded by the calamity.

But these breaths come from your own body; you have to accept them whether you want them or not!
Eat it!

Taiyi's nostrils and mouth were forcibly opened, and all the air he had exhaled earlier was poured into his body at this moment, bringing with it endless calamity.

in an instant,
The purple-gold pillar of fortune in the sky collapsed instantly, and the changes in Taiyi Zhenren's flesh and blood could no longer be suppressed. As if subjected to level 100 nuclear radiation, it swelled up on the spot.

【No! ! 】

Taiyi tried to sever his own ego, frantically circulating his power, and actually succeeded in completing his first self-severance, restoring his twisted flesh to normal once again.

But the question is, can you cut once, cut a second time, and cut a third time?

The difficulty increases exponentially!
Then, with a soft "pfft".

After Taiyi's sublimation, its flesh and blood mutated and evolved again. It desperately severed itself once more, then transformed and severed itself again, creating a vicious cycle.

at last,

After the fourth strike, Taiyi grew horns on his head, tentacles on his body, and countless scales on his clothes, transforming him into a half-human, half-beast monster.

He could no longer control his own flesh and blood; he could no longer cut it!
boom! !

Taiyi's body suddenly exploded, and the remaining Shiji Niangniang also collapsed instantly, turning into black stones that fell to the ground.

Li Wei's body went limp and he collapsed into the void, panting heavily: "Is it finally... over?"

Tiandao 0.81 initially thought so too.

But suddenly, Taiyi Zhenren's flesh and blood automatically sprang open, revealing a mechanical core.

Li Wei was stunned!
He couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine as he asked, "Didn't you say that this Taiyi is the true form?"

Heavenly Dao 0.81 also sensed something was wrong and immediately activated the system to check Taiyi's main body, and quickly obtained a series of law data.

[Intensified fluctuations in the law signal detected! External force is suspected to have been injected, and information tracking and analysis are now being initiated in reverse.]

[Tracking and analysis complete!]

[Enemy entity identified!!]

[He is one of the Three Pure Ones!!]
