My cultivation method shines upon all heavens.

Chapter 85 This humble Taoist priest, Zhang Jiao, begs Heaven to accept my fate!

Within the yellow vortex, the giant face had faded into nothingness.

That originally gentle voice was now completely distorted, each word uttered through gritted teeth, its booming sound shaking the heavens and earth.

No matter how angry and roaring he was, the Azure Dragon had already been locked in place by the sword wheel, with nowhere to escape or avoid it.

Finally, with a deafening roar, it crashed headlong into the yellow vortex.

"boom!!!"

An earth-shattering roar erupted, causing the sky to collapse and the earth to split open.

The entire Cangming Great World was trembling violently, and large sections of the void collapsed.

Three muffled groans echoed simultaneously, their mournful sound like a curse.

"You just wait—we will not let you off easily!"

The yellow vortex completely dissipated, leaving not even a trace of its former self.

Only the lingering echoes of resentment and unwillingness lingered in the heavens and earth.

The Azure Dragon was pierced by ten thousand swords, its scales shattered and flew like rain, its whole body was covered in blood, and its aura instantly weakened to the extreme.

But in the next instant, its aura began to change strangely.

The last vestige of humanity in the dragon's eyes was completely extinguished, turning indifferent like ancient ice slowly solidifying.

An ancient, supreme, cold, and desolate will slowly awakened from its endless slumber, its oppressive power eclipsing the sun and moon.

Zhang Jiao stood silently in the void, his cyan longsword quietly returning to his grasp.

The bloodstains all over his body had long since congealed into dark red scabs, and his figure was so thin that it seemed as if he would be scattered by the wind at any moment.

At this moment, among all living beings in heaven and earth, no one dared to show the slightest contempt, only awe.

"Boom boom boom! At this moment, eight colossal figures, towering to the heavens and earth, suddenly appeared in all directions of the Great Zhao, each possessing its own unique and overwhelming power:"

Some are as domineering as mountains, stretching across the ages; others are as sharp as swords, pointing straight to the sky.

Some are as ethereal as clouds, ever-changing and unpredictable; some are as sinister as snakes, concealing deadly intent; some are as dazzling as the Milky Way cascading down—

The eight colossal walls silently overlooked the sky, yet none of them showed the slightest intention to interfere.

Finally, the Azure Dragon completed its complete transformation.

Those cold, dragon-like eyes slowly locked onto Zhang Jiao, and his voice, like a pronouncement of the heavens, thunderously shook the entire world: "Interesting—the Four Sovereigns perished back then, yet today there is still a human who dares to defy the heavens!"

Zhang Jiao's expression remained unchanged. He held his sword and slightly bowed, his voice calm yet resolute: "This humble Taoist, Zhang Jiao—I beseech Heaven to grant me my death!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he bit his fingertip, and blood splattered everywhere.

The shattered Yellow Talisman of Suppressing the World flowed back from the heavens and reformed.

Between heaven and earth, an endless, invisible force surged forth and converged upon him.

"Decree to punish Heaven!"

The righteous and majestic voice resounded throughout the universe, shaking the eight directions.

Among the eight illusory figures, the star-studded figure gently waved a feather fan, his voice deep and resonant: "The Edict to Slay Heaven—the supreme divine power of the Great Teacher, unparalleled throughout history."

"With blood as the catalyst, the heavens as the matchmaker, and the fate of the people as the ink, in the name of billions of lives, I issue a decree to attack Heaven!"

"The aspirations of a great and virtuous teacher—we can only look up to them in awe."

The other illusory figures all fell silent, and the atmosphere of the world suddenly became extremely heavy.

"Boom boom boom! Zhang Jiao's blood drips onto the yellow talisman, and the people's fortune surges forth."

In the blink of an eye, three hundred and sixty-five Taiping Divine Talismans were forged, each corresponding to one of the stars in the heavens, their mysteries boundless.

The world changed drastically, and an immense pressure swept across the sky. All living beings below prostrated themselves and kowtowed, not daring to breathe even slightly.

"What a fine decree to punish the heavens! I'll see what kind of rebellious youth the human race has produced after all these changes!"

Azure Dragon's eyes were indifferent, and his figure suddenly vanished.

When it reappeared, it was already standing right in front of Zhang Jiao.

"Sleepy!"

A single word uttered is like a decree from the heavens.

An invisible cage materialized out of thin air, completely sealing Zhang Jiao off, with the air at the edge of the cage frozen into crystalline frost.

"die!"

The dragon's tail swept across, tearing the void apart.

Wherever it passed, all things fell silent, its aura ruthless, determined to crush this rebellious person into dust in a single blow.

On the brink of life and death, Zhang Jiao remained unmoved, actually using his mortal body to withstand this supreme blow.

"Bang!!!"

The dragon's tail slammed into its body with a deafening roar.

He suddenly bent over, spitting out a mouthful of blood that splattered in the wind as a dark, tragic crimson, yet he did not retreat an inch.

He forced his head up, his left hand rapidly forming hand seals before suddenly pressing down, shouting fiercely: "Lock the four limbs, bind the qi, sever cause and effect—Heavenly Lock, appear!"

The talismans in the sky shone brightly, transforming into thousands of blood-red divine chains that wrapped around the azure dragon layer by layer.

With each tightening of the chain, a dark red halo spreads out, digging deep into the dragon's body.

A slight ripple finally appeared in Canglong's indifferent eyes.

It realized with horror that its connection with the origin of the Heavenly Dao was being ruthlessly severed.

"hold head high!!!"

It roared to the sky and struggled frantically, but the more it broke free, the more deadly the chains binding it became.

Even more so, the resentment of hundreds of millions of people surged into its mind, like thousands of ants gnawing at its heart, devouring its supreme will.

Zhang Jiao suddenly straightened up, making his already thin body appear even more frail.

But in the eyes of all living beings, at this moment he was as majestic as a god.

"Peaceful Sword—Slash!"

He held his sword high, and all the injustices of the world and the suffering of the common people flowed into the sword, like a hundred rivers flowing into the sea.

He then leaped into the air, becoming one with his sword, and slashed horizontally towards the dragon's head!

"Xiao Daocheng! If I die, your Xiao family will lose its imperial status, and the Huangji Sect will lose its power to rule all sects in the world—why don't you make a move?"

The azure dragon roared, its eyes no longer showing any indifference, only terror and despair.

"boom!!!"

Before the words were finished, one of the eight towering phantoms suddenly vanished.

The next instant, a burly and imposing figure suddenly appeared beside Zhang Jiao.

"The Nine Dragon Seal!"

A domineering roar resounded through the heavens, and nine golden dragons appeared out of thin air.

Amidst its roaring and swirling motion, it coalesced into a world-shaking jade seal, which was then forcefully imprinted on Zhang Jiao's dantian abdomen.

"boom!!!"

Zhang Jiao coughed up blood, his face ashen white.

He maintained his momentum in slaying the dragon, but it was clear to everyone that he was exhausted and at his limit.

The burly figure retreated immediately after the attack, leaving only a cold, contemptuous laugh in the void: "Hmph—I don't need your reminder, I naturally know what to do."

Azure Dragon's eyes turned slightly cold, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It looked at the Taoist priest, who resembled a flickering candle in the wind, and a mocking smile appeared on its face: "Heh heh—junior, I admit, you are unparalleled throughout history."

"But—is it worth it? Your human race has never lacked geniuses, nor has it lacked those who cling to life."

"Even if you give it your all, what can you do? They—they're all shrewd and pragmatic 'heroes'!"

His words were mocking as his dragon eyes swept over the eight giant shadows below, revealing his utter disdain.

Zhang Jiao's hand holding the sword was as steady as Mount Tai, but as his gaze swept over the group of giants who were watching coldly or even making moves in secret, he finally let out a long sigh.

Xiao Daocheng's move was exactly what he expected.

But he never expected that when he pushed Cangtian to the brink of despair, the other three sects and four factions would all stand idly by and not one of them would stop him.

The common people are as insignificant as a feather in their eyes, far less important than their own interests, and not worth taking any risks to help.

He planned for half his life, carrying countless tears and hopes, but in the end, all his efforts were in vain.

But in an instant, the sorrow on his face vanished, replaced by an unwavering resolve: "My life ends here, but I do not wish to live alone. I shall die with all people, and with my remaining courage shake the heavens!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he merged with his sword, transforming into a streak of azure sword light, and charged towards the Azure Dragon without hesitation.

Amidst the wind and rain, the devout shouts of millions of believers echoed from all directions, soaring to the heavens: "The Blue Heaven is dead, the Yellow Heaven shall rise. In the year of Jiazi, great fortune will come to the world!"

The edict to attack Heaven is an act of punishing Heaven on behalf of all living beings.

The boundless power of faith in the world surged toward Zhang Jiao, and his body shone with an intense white light.

Its momentum grew ever stronger and more resolute, like a shooting star rushing against the Milky Way towards its destined end.

Faced with this seemingly suicidal attack, the Azure Dragon remained indifferent and said coldly, "Your very essence has been completely destroyed—it's nothing but a death throes."

It watched Zhang Jiao's attack silently, motionless, as if looking down at an ant's final madness.

The eight towering phantoms remained indifferent, observing coldly without being moved.

Below, Lu Ming watched the series of dramatic changes in the sky. Even without knowing the full story, he had already guessed seven or eight parts of it.

Gazing at that figure, like a moth drawn to a flame, his heart surged with emotion.

"This world is already riddled with holes, but there are always people trying to fix it."

Yun Changfeng's words echoed in my ears once again.

"It really looks like it!"

He murmured softly.

Throughout history, there has never been a shortage of such lone heroes.

Knowing that the road ahead is a dead end, they are still willing to shoulder the burden of all living beings and launch a final charge towards this world and towards their own ideals.

He didn't want to be that kind of person, but he held them in the deepest respect.

Unfortunately, he was just an insignificant mortal, powerless to change anything.

They could only watch helplessly as that figure hurtled towards the Azure Dragon like a comet shooting backwards.

The Azure Dragon's face contorted in a ferocious expression as it raised its bound giant claws and slammed them down fiercely towards Zhang Jiao.

Thunder roared, and the heavens and earth trembled violently.

With this strike, the Taoist who defied the heavens will surely be annihilated and never exist again.

At this critical moment, Lu Ming's brows furrowed suddenly.

[Ding! Prodigies from all realms rise up, and all heavens pay homage to my attainment of the Dao—]
