Chapter 149 Breakthrough, Dao Lord of Life and Death! (Please Subscribe)

"Someone else has come out."

Beyond the ancient land, in a void, two Eternal Emperors sat cross-legged. They were Emperors of the Dao Alliance Immortal Palace, responsible for guarding this ancient land. There were more than ten other Emperors in this Cangming Realm with similar duties.

Of course, those guarding this place are usually their Dharma bodies.

Starting with the Dao Lord of Life and Death, apart from the second primordial spirit, one can no longer possess a clone, but can refine a Dharma body. A perfect Dharma body can possess 80% of the strength of the original body, no less than that of a clone.

The only drawback is that it cannot be used as a trump card for survival, unlike the clone technique.

"That seems to be—a disciple of the Heavenly Ruins Emperor. I heard that old fellow Huang Wu boast about him; he's an extremely talented prodigy."

One of the emperors said that he and Emperor Huangwu were old acquaintances. Emperor Huangwu had come to the Dao Alliance Immortal Palace this time and talked to him about Xia Mangqing, showing him some memory images, so he recognized him.

"A disciple of the Heavenly Ruins Emperor? He emerged in less than ten thousand years. I wonder how much he has gained," another emperor said.

"It should be quite good. He has fused the strongest Dao, making him an extremely monstrous talent. Even if we don't mention the ninth level, he should be able to obtain the opportunities of the eighth level."

The Azure Netherworld was created by a great being. No ancient land, not even an Eternal Emperor or a Ruler, can see through it. Therefore, they can only make some speculations.

"Let's go, let's send him out first."

The void twisted, and the emperor who had spoken suddenly appeared in front of Xia Mangqing, followed by another one.

Upon seeing them, Xia Mangqing quickly greeted them, saying, "This junior greets the two emperors."

"No need for such formalities."

An emperor spoke up: "Now that you have left the ancient land, we will send you directly out."

"Yes, thank you, Your Majesty."

Xia Mangqing nodded. This ancient land can only be entered once, but if you are inside the ancient land, you can challenge it up to five times, as the elf said, and you may be able to obtain five copies of the Sovereign-level inheritance.

However, even Xia Mangqing only obtained three kinds. Other beings were not as good as him in terms of the breadth and depth of the Dao, so there was no need to say more.

"Go."

With a wave of his sleeve, the Emperor altered the course of time and space. When Xia Mangqing regained his senses, he was already in the side hall where he had been before.

In the side hall, some figures were already sitting cross-legged, cultivating and waiting. At the front was an emperor meditating, and the rest were all world realm cultivators from the eight holy cities.

As for the World Realm experts from the Dao Alliance Immortal Palace, they left immediately upon emerging, cultivating in the ancient realms near the Dao Alliance Immortal Palace, so there was no need to wait.

"Senior Brother Qingxuan, why did you come out so quickly?"

A voice transmission sounded, and Xia Mangqing looked at the person who transmitted the voice. It was a young cultivator who was a disciple of Tianxu Palace. His Daoist name was Li Yun. Although he had not comprehended the strongest Dao, he had comprehended three of the stronger Daos, which was quite remarkable.

"If you can't break through, you'll naturally come out."

Xia Mangqing responded calmly via telepathy.

"Even you, Senior Brother, can't get past the Nine-Layer Island?"

Li Yun was somewhat surprised. Before he came, Xia Mangqing had already been out of seclusion for some time, so many disciples of Tianxu Palace were curious about him, and many people went to discuss and exchange ideas with him.

But without exception, they all quickly fell into defeat.

It was from that time onward that the disciples of Tianxu Palace truly came to respect Xia Mangqing.

But he didn't expect the trials here to be so difficult; even Xia Mangqing hadn't made it through the nine layers of the island.

Of course, he had only passed the fifth level and did not know that after passing the ninth level, he could start from the first level again. Therefore, he did not know that Xia Mangqing chose to give up because of bad luck.

"Just do your best; there's no need to overthink it."

Xia Mangqing didn't explain. After all, he was his junior brother. It would be too hurtful to say that he had obtained three copies of the Sovereign's inheritance. There was really no need for that.

"Senior brother has a more lofty mindset."

Li Yun said admiringly.

Xia Mangqing smiled and then transmitted his voice, "Junior Brother, I plan to return to the Holy City first. Would you like to come with me?"

"Isn't Senior Brother waiting for the others?"

"I won't wait any longer. I've sensed something and come to understand some things. Once I return, I will merge my two bodies into one and step into the Dao Lord of Life and Death."

Upon hearing this, Li smiled and quickly replied telepathically, "Congratulations, Senior Brother!"

Once a prodigy like Xia Mangqing steps into the Dao Lord realm of Life and Death, he will begin a legendary journey. Perhaps it won't take many Chaos Eras for him to become a Heaven-defying Dao Lord who will dominate the endless territories.

"Senior brother, let me go back with you." Li Yun then transmitted his voice, "I have also gained many insights from this opportunity, and I may break through soon. It's good to go back and make some preparations."

"Can."

Xia Mangqing nodded, then walked towards the Eternal Emperor in the side hall, respectfully greeted him, and said, "Senior, my junior brother and I intend to leave first. Please allow us."

"Um.

"6

Without even opening his eyes, the emperor flicked his sleeve, and a wisp of wind swept Xia Mangqing and Li Yun away, instantly sending them out of the side hall and even out of the Dao Alliance Immortal Palace.

"Let's go, let's ride the spacetime array."

The Dao Alliance Immortal Palace has several super space-time arrays connected to the eight holy cities, which can be used to directly cross countless territories and reach any holy city, but the cost is extremely high.

One person needs 10,000 cubic meters of Chaos Elixir.

If it were to be activated alone, it would require millions of cubic meters.

Of course, some top figures within the Dao Alliance can ride for free, but Xia Mangqing is clearly not among them, so he has to pay to ride.

Fortunately, there was frequent communication between the Dao Alliance Immortal Palace and the Eight Great Holy Cities, so in just a few hundred years, a hundred cultivators who wanted to go to the Heavenly Ruins Holy City were gathered.

In the Heavenly Ruins Holy City, Xia Mangqing's clone emerged from the spacetime array and then, together with Li Yi, transformed into a rainbow of light and entered the Heavenly Ruins Palace. Before long, he returned to his cave dwelling.

At this moment, apart from the clone that went to the Dao Alliance Immortal Palace, the other clones had already arrived and merged into one. After his arrival, he also directly activated the method to completely merge into one.

Compared to his clones, the original body after merging was much stronger, especially the feeling of perfect true spiritual origin, which made him feel extremely comfortable, as if he was about to ascend to immortality and transcend at any moment.

"Master, your disciple has returned and is preparing to break through to become a Dao Lord of Life and Death," Xia Mangqing sent a message to Emperor Tianxu.

A moment later, he received a reply from the Heavenly Ruins Emperor: "Are you fully prepared?"

"Yes, Master, there's no need to worry."

"Alright, go ahead and break through."

After briefly explaining the situation, Xia Mangqing waved his sleeve, and the entire cave was immediately illuminated, with one array of restrictions being activated.

At the same time, Xia Mangqing entered the Time Chamber.

Almost at the same moment, in the void of the Three Realms, the second primordial spirit also entered the cave.

Rumble~

A moment later, both the main body and the second primordial spirit began their breakthrough simultaneously.

The Dao Lord of Life and Death faces life and death with every step. Moreover, with each breakthrough, the main body and the second primordial spirit must break through in sync and together. When merging with the Dao, they must also merge with the Dao together. Once a mistake is made, the body and Dao will perish, and there will be no second chance.

Of course, the Golden Crow Primordial Spirit from the Perfect World is an extremely special exception. After all, when the Second Primordial Spirit Technique was created, no one could have imagined that a being would successfully cultivate it in a completely different world.

Beyond the Three Realms, the power of chaos surged, transforming into a boundless ocean that swept towards the place where the second primordial spirit was in seclusion, helping it break through.

As for the main body, he was quite calm, because he did not draw on the power of chaos to break through, but instead used the chaotic spiritual liquid to break through.

wow~

At this moment, within Xia Mangqing's body, the Chaos Dao Tree began to grow again, becoming increasingly robust, tall, and lush, until it reached a height of 52,000 zhang before finally stopping.

This is what makes the ultimate path special.

Each breakthrough directly leads to the limit of the next realm. Fifty-two thousand feet is the height limit of the Dao Tree of a First-Step Dao Lord. Because of this special characteristic, when Xia Mangqing steps into the Fourth-Step Dao Lord realm, he will also directly reach the edge of the Dao Integration realm.

Besides the Dao Tree, the Divine Crystals were also transforming and condensing, continuously condensing with the ultimate chaos as the core, until they condensed 52,000 Dao Lord Divine Crystals before stopping.

In just over an hour, Xia Mangqing's main body had completely entered the Dao Lord of Life and Death realm. After all, he broke through using Chaos Spirit Liquid, so the speed was naturally much faster, unlike his second primordial spirit, which was still absorbing the power of chaos to break through.

"As expected, judging from his aura, he is a Second Step Dao Lord."

Xia Mangqing sensed his own state and aura.

Actually, this is nothing special. After all, once an ancient cultivator becomes a Dao Lord of Life and Death, his divine body can rival that of a normal three-step Dao Lord, and the aura he exudes is even stronger than Xia Mangqing's.

However, that is a special case. Normal cultivators, even after fusing with the strongest Dao and becoming the Dao Lord of Life and Death, are still only at the first Dao Lord level, judging from their aura alone.

Xia Mangqing is not a special being like an ancient cultivator, so it's impossible for him to do this; therefore, he has to disguise himself.

As for his strength, it is even more astonishing, enough to rival a top-tier fourth-step Dao Lord. In this endless territory, he can be considered a master, enough to rely on for adventures.

After undergoing the refinement of divine and demonic bodies and the breakthrough of Qi, Xia Mangqing then focused his consciousness into his own sea of ​​consciousness, where there was a glimmer of spiritual light, but inside was an endless world.

"open!"

Xia Mangqing's voice suddenly resounded throughout this place.

Buzz—

As the chaotic light manifested, the "heart of the world" of this vast world also changed at this moment, encompassing all things and containing all paths. An endless roar erupted, and this vast world, which existed between the real and the unreal, began to frantically devour the chaotic spiritual liquid.

With Xia Mangqing's current wealth, opening up a mental world the size of a territory would be easy for him, so naturally he would use Chaos Elixir to speed up the process.

The chaotic world, originally trillions of miles in size, expanded wildly at this moment, a hundred times, a thousand times, ten thousand times—

After a cup of tea, it finally reached its limit. Looking out, it was vast and boundless. Even Xia Mangqing could not see the end with his naked eye. But as the creator of the world of the heart, he could know any information within it in an instant.

"More than a trillion light-years away —"

Xia Mangqing couldn't help but marvel. Compared to before, it was a qualitative change. It was simply too enormous. If such a world of the heart were to be created on the Perfect World's side, a single thought could summon the world's projection to suppress it, which would probably be able to kill most True Immortals!

Moreover, this is only the first step of the ultimate path. If it were the second step, the world of the heart would be comparable to a territory, and would be even more terrifying.

"It must be said that the mental power system is indeed special. Those who can cultivate this system, even on the Perfect World side, will have a Golden Crow Primordial Spirit whose strength is not much worse than that of the original body."

Xia Mangqing laughed and said, "On the Perfect side, the power of the Dao doesn't significantly improve combat strength, but the World of the Heart can fully demonstrate the true power of the ultimate Dao."

"Next, I will go into seclusion for a while to comprehend the inheritance of those three rulers. After I emerge, I will disguise myself as a Second-Step Dao Lord."

.

Xia Mangqing thought to himself that some extraordinary individuals could grow from a first-step Dao Lord to a second-step Dao Lord in about a thousand years.

This step is arguably the easiest of the four steps to becoming a Daoist master, and the improvement won't be too dramatic.

However, it wouldn't be so easy for Xia Mangqing to become a second-step Dao Lord. He would first have to comprehend the six basic Daos of the second level, and then fuse and transform them into the ultimate Chaos Dao of the second level.

Fortunately, he has already obtained the supreme inheritance of three basic Dao-related Great Daos, and by drawing insights from them, he should be able to speed things up a bit.

With this thought in mind, he began his seclusion, and under a hundredfold time acceleration, he cultivated for over ten thousand years.

"The transition from the first step Dao Lord to the second step Dao Lord is indeed the easiest."

Xia Mangqing sighed, having only studied the legacy of that Time and Space Dao Master for a few hundred years, he had already gained enough insights to push the Chaos Time and Space to the second level.

In other words, if he only cultivates the strongest path, he can become a second-step Dao Lord within a few hundred years.

After that, he continued to study the inheritance of the Five Elements Dao Master and the Heavenly Heart God Emperor. The speed was much slower, but he still quickly deduced the second level.

Within ten thousand years, the three strongest paths will break through!

"You can leave now."

Xia Mangqing thought to himself that he had reached his limit for the time being, and if he wanted to break through again, he would need to find other opportunities.

Therefore, he broke through the barrier directly.

Then they saw the Heavenly Ruins Emperor standing outside the cave.

"My disciple, you—"

Emperor Tianxu glanced at Xia Mangqing, sensing his aura, and asked with some surprise, "You've become a Second-Step Dao Lord?"

"Hmm." Xia Mangqing nodded with a smile: "After the breakthrough, I had a feeling, and I didn't expect to break through smoothly within ten thousand years."

"Hahaha—Great!"

Emperor Tianxu laughed and said, "You have fused with the strongest Dao and will become a second-step Dao Lord within ten thousand years. You are an extremely monstrous talent."

Legend has it that cultivators who can advance from a first-step Dao Lord to a second-step Dao Lord in about a thousand years mostly follow the strongest path. Those who can merge the strongest path in about ten thousand years are already considered heaven-defying geniuses.

Not to mention, he knew that Xia Mangqing had fused with the six strongest Daos, and that he could still break through within ten thousand years under such circumstances was too amazing and too monstrous!

"With the path you have taken, you have now become a second-step Dao Lord, which should be comparable to a top-tier fourth-step Dao Lord. Even in my Heavenly Ruins Holy City, you are a rare expert."

Emperor Tianxu laughed. After all, he was the lord of the Holy City and was very clear about the combat power of the strongest Dao. When he was a second-step Dao Lord, it was common for him to be comparable to a top-level fourth-step Dao Lord.

"What are your plans after this? Will you continue to cultivate in the Holy City, or venture out into the world?" Emperor Tianxu asked. Although Xia Mangqing's current strength is comparable to that of a fourth-step Dao Lord, he is still only a second-step Dao Lord and has a lot of room for growth.

Therefore, even from his perspective, he would prefer Xia Mangqing to choose to venture out and constantly hone herself.

"This disciple plans to venture out and explore," Xia Mangqing said. "However, before setting off, this disciple will rest for a period of time, and at the same time refine my Dharma body and cultivate some secret techniques and supernatural abilities."

"That's only natural." Emperor Tianxu nodded. "By the way, I haven't asked you yet, how was your harvest in the Cangming Realm?"

"The harvest was plentiful, and I even received the inheritance of the ruler."

Xia Mangqing frankly stated that this made Emperor Tianxu even happier. The more opportunities and fortunes Xia Mangqing obtained, the greater the possibility of him successfully achieving Dao Integration in the future. As his master, he was naturally pleased.

"Therefore, you can focus on your cultivation. I will prepare some things for you and recommend some places for you to explore."

Emperor Tianxu said, and Xia Mangqing happily thanked him.

This is the benefit of having a highly capable master as your teacher.

The Heavenly Ruins Emperor has existed for a very long time and is extremely familiar with the endless territory, including most of those dangerous places. He can recommend the most suitable place based on Xia Mangqing's strength and the Great Dao, so that Xia Mangqing can avoid many detours.
