Chapter 1370 Unification and the Dao Heart

As the Flame Path reached its limit, Su Ping sensed that the entire universe seemed to be undergoing some kind of change, collapsing and contracting from the outside in, as if it were sinking towards the center.

The center is where the Flame Path is located.

The power of the entire universe was uncontrollably drawn towards the Flame Path.

At this moment, Su Ping even had a feeling that Yan Dao had exceeded his control and was devouring his universe.

He took a deep breath and did not stop it. Everything was developing in the direction he expected. He quickly divided the universe into layers, preserving the first layer of the Star Path universe to support the entire Flame Path.

As the universe layered, the first layer became thinner, which accelerated the absorption rate of the Flame Path.

Soon, the universe, like a transparent, burning film, adhered to the fiery path. At first glance, the fiery path resembled a star, and the universe resembled the atmosphere outside the stars.

As the Flame Path continues to absorb energy, the universe gets closer and closer to it, until it finally completely covers and gradually permeates the Flame Path.

The blazing flames gradually contracted inward, undergoing a violent change and emitting terrifying energy fluctuations.

Su Ping stared intently at Yan Dao, feeling his power being frantically drained, almost to the point of being completely drained. Su Ping had no choice but to summon Er Gou and the Purgatory Candle Dragon Beast, merging with them separately to transfer their power to himself and then into Yan Dao.

As each battle pet completed its fusion, all of Su Ping's pets transferred their power to him. Finally, Su Ping summoned the Starry Abyss Worm and fused with it. When he transferred half of its power to Su Ping, the Flame Path suddenly stopped its violent fluctuations and gradually calmed down.

Su Ping had a vague feeling that Yan Dao had suddenly become a conscious living being, and was being conceived and revived!

His body was like a womb, and a terrifying life was being conceived.

"The Great Dao can be nurtured, and the Great Dao is also life..." Su Ping's eyes flickered as he suppressed his inner panic and unease, waiting quietly while carefully protecting it with his energy.

Outside Su Ping's body, Er Gou and the others were recuperating and protecting him.

Although Su Ping can be resurrected, this is a crucial moment and he cannot be disturbed.

time flies.

Occasionally, ferocious beasts would leap out, but they were frightened by the imposing aura emanating from Er Gou and his companions, and fled the place.

Su Ping's consciousness was completely immersed in the changes in the fiery path within his body. These changes were an absolutely beautiful and magnificent spectacle, a rare sight, a grand picture of the birth of the entire universe.

The aura of the universe was emanating from within the Flame Path, just as Su Ping had predicted. This path was indeed feasible!

The previously absorbed cosmic membrane has merged with the Flame Path, and a membrane-like skin has emerged on the surface of the Flame Path, which is the outline of the universe.

Within the universe, Yan Dao is undergoing strange changes, gradually gathering its power and merging into the universe.

The Flame Path is the universe, and the universe is the Flame Path.

Within this universe, the Great Dao is unified, without any other paths.

Any path that enters it will be either absorbed by the Flame Path or expelled.

Simply put, the Flame Path at this moment has transformed into the universe.

The Dao cannot be destroyed, and the universe condensed by the Flame Dao can be instantly reassembled no matter how many times it is pierced and shattered. The so-called "shattering" is not even damage to the Flame Dao. Just like water, when punched and dented, the water is not damaged at all, because any kind of "shattering" is its own form that can be changed at will.

As the flames within the universe gradually subsided, Su Ping could no longer sense the intense and vigorous aura of the flames. However, Su Ping discovered that the universe before him had become extremely deep and restrained, like a calm abyss, ready to unleash power ten times more intense than before at any moment.

The Flame Path Universe has now fully taken shape.

Su Ping could not hide his excitement, his heart pounding wildly. He knew that he had finally found another path, and if he continued down this path, it would be longer and more powerful than the common path!

Su Ping tried to control the Flame Dao Universe and immediately felt that he was in control of an unimaginable power, like a mortal holding a giant hammer heavy enough to shatter the earth, which would blow everything around him away with every swing.

"The Flame Path Never Dies in the Universe..."

Su Ping took a deep breath and suddenly detonated the power within the universe. In an instant, the entire universe burst forth with dazzling light, reaching its peak before exploding open with a deafening roar. The terrifying impact startled Er Gou and the Purgatory Candle Dragon Beast beside him, who turned their heads sharply to look at Su Ping before setting up their defenses.

Su Ping controlled the explosive power, bypassing them and releasing it in all directions.

The surrounding forest was instantly flattened, and the land was annihilated.

If a nuclear bomb of billions of tons were to explode, the hundreds of thousands of miles around Suping would be completely flattened and erased, forming a deep crater.

All creatures within this range were annihilated. Some ferocious beasts at the Dao Heart Realm, which were farther away, were also impacted by this sudden power. Some tried their best to escape, while others were caught off guard and were directly annihilated.

"Freeze!"

Even after the explosion, Su Ping could still feel the power of the Flame Dao surrounding him. With a thought, the previously exploded universe instantly reformed and condensed, still vigorous, as if the previous explosion had never existed.

"Is this... the power of the ancestral gods?"

Su Ping murmured to himself, somewhat shocked.

Only when you truly reach this level will you realize just how powerful the Ancestral God is!

No wonder he could easily kill Dao Xinjing before, but he still couldn't fight against the Ancestral God. The Ancestral God could detonate his universe at any time and unleash the ultimate cosmic power. And this kind of explosion would not cause any loss to the Ancestral God!

This is absolutely terrifying!

For the Daoist mind, the explosion of the universe is tantamount to destruction; even if one survives, one will be crippled. But for the Ancestral God, it is no different from drinking water.

"A universe unified by the Great Dao, capable of infinite self-destruction, eternally indestructible—this is the method of the Ancestral Gods..."

Su Ping couldn't help but take a deep breath, then thought of the Golden Crow Ancestor and the Celestial Clan, and slowly sighed.

Even such a terrifying ancestral god still has an ethereal and terrifying existence above it, like the progenitor.

"The path of cultivation involves condensing the starry sky, creating a small world, giving birth to a microcosm, and ultimately, even though the universe is immortal, this is still not the ultimate goal..."

"Where does the ultimate path lead?"

"Why was the ultimate path destroyed?"

Su Ping became stronger, but also fell into deeper confusion, and his awe of the Celestial Clan deepened.

The stronger you are, the more you understand the gap.

Su Ping shook his head. No matter what the future held, he had no choice but to follow this path to the end, to continue becoming stronger and surpassing himself.

If the end of spiritual practice cannot change the tragedy, then transcend the end!

Su Ping then tried to control the Flame Dao Universe and use other secret techniques. He discovered that some techniques that used to require a lot of effort were now easy to master.

Even reversing time is just a matter of a thought.

Through the burning sensation of the flames, he could even see the changes that would occur over the next hundred years, making him almost like a prophet.

If he were to fully utilize his abilities in this area, he could even see what this place would look like ten thousand years from now.

Ten thousand years later, this place remains a deep crater, with only a few flying beasts cautiously passing by.

"It's really not easy to scheme against the Ancestral God." Su Ping sighed inwardly. The power he now possessed even surpassed that of many mythical beings described by mortals.

He can see the past, know the future, reverse time and space, control yin and yang, life and death, create life at will, and reshape the universe—all within his control.

All the great paths are nothing more than bait for him to feed.

"Unfortunately, even ancestral gods cannot escape the turmoil of history, and the annihilation of the Celestial Race..."

Su Ping shook his head slightly. He put away the Flame Dao Universe, which he had gradually become proficient in. Outside this universe, the God and Demon Chaos Universe orbited around him like a tiny satellite.

Su Ping did not stop; he prepared to continue nurturing the second Great Dao and complete the universe unified by the second Great Dao.

Before this, Su Ping transmitted the scene of the Flame Dao Universe's birth that he had previously witnessed to Er Gou and the others' minds. Such a wondrous sight was of great help to their cultivation.

"Little one, when do you plan to solidify your Dao Heart?"

Su Ping stroked the Thunder Rat on his leg. In its normal state, the rat was already the size of a wildcat, with soft, deep purple fur all over its body, which could stand up like steel needles at any time and pierce through titanium alloy.

The Thunder Rat drooped its ears, looked up at Su Ping, and squeaked twice, looking somewhat aggrieved.

Having spent a long time with them, Su Ping has become accustomed to their language. Even though Er Gou and the others don't communicate in human language, Su Ping can still understand what they say.

"You're trying to do too much. Time can't be reversed, and the dead can't be brought back to life. Unless we can reach the ultimate realm..." Su Ping stroked the Thunder Rat's head and said, "If you want to see them again, there's only one way: cultivate to the strongest level!"

When Thunder Rat heard the word "strongest," its eyes flashed with purple light. It seemed to be lost in thought. A moment later, intense lightning suddenly appeared on its body. Then the lightning changed, spreading out a deep purple mist. Thunder surged within the mist, and terrifying currents surged.

Su Ping was slightly taken aback and looked at the Thunder Rat in his palm, only to find that its eyes had become incredibly clear.

"Have you found your true path yet...?"

Su Ping was somewhat surprised, but also somewhat relieved. The Thunder Light Rat had long since found its Dao Heart, but none of them were what it truly wanted. However, it seemed to have found its lifelong goal.

"No matter what your Dao heart is, if you persevere, you will eventually reach the true end..." Su Ping muttered to himself.

The Thunder Rat's body rose from his palm, soaring into the sky and attracting the thunderclouds that were undergoing tribulation.

The crimson thunderclouds surged, carrying an ancient pressure, as if an ancient giant sat atop the clouds, looking down upon the mortal realm.

The Thunder Rat suddenly looked up, as if sensing something, and roared fiercely from the depths of the thunder.

The sharp screech of the rat, however, was like that of a lion or a dragon, shaking the heavens and earth and piercing through the sky for tens of thousands of miles. The blood-red lightning tribulation that was brewing was actually blasted into a hole by this roar.

The lightning rat, its body crackling with thunder, revealed its true form. Its fur trembled, and in an instant, it transformed into a colossal beast several thousand meters long. Though its body resembled a rat, its aura was majestic. Even the ancient Qilin would appear thin and weak in its presence.

It let out a long howl and charged into the lightning tribulation.

As the thunder roared, the crimson tribulation clouds also became frenzied, their color gradually turning deep and pitch black, becoming the most terrifying tribulation in history.

Su Ping raised an eyebrow slightly. If this scene had happened in the Primordial God Realm, it would have attracted the covetousness of all races. Who would have thought that a pet beast could trigger such a terrifying tribulation of lightning?

"It seems the little guy's understanding of the Dao is quite profound." Su Ping smiled slightly, happy for the Thunder Light Rat, but he also knew that the stronger the Dao heart, the more difficult and rugged the road ahead would be.

However, the strong walk through thorns, while the weak walk on flat roads.

Rumble!

Deep within the tribulation of lightning, roars and thunder echoed each other, and the body of the lightning rat surged within, seemingly fighting against the heavens.

That angry roar sounded like they were fighting over something.

Perhaps it's about fighting to reclaim a piece of time that has been taken away.

Or perhaps it is a figure taken away by heaven.

This tribulation lasted for a very long time, until the roar gradually became frantic, and then the black lightning tribulation gradually faded away like the tide, leaving only the huge lightning rat with its fur charred black in the void.

It roared at the retreating lightning, and at the gradually returning darkness, but there was no response.

It stood for a moment, then slowly shrank back to its normal size and returned to Su Ping's side, its eyes filled with deep weariness, before snuggling into Su Ping's arms.

Su Ping held it, stroked it for a moment, said nothing, and then continued on his way.

The spiritual practice continues.

Within the Green Glass World, everything is in perfect order. Although there are some minor frictions between the two races, it does not affect the harmony and mutual affection between the majority of the people of the two races.

As relations between the two races warmed, the three leaders of the machine race's initial fear of the human race eventually turned into a helpless adaptation. They discovered that no matter how worried they were, if their ally truly had ulterior motives, they could not resist.

Instead of doing that, it would be better to cultivate a good relationship and maintain this alliance.

The Supreme Beings, including the Gods, also noticed the change in the attitude of the Mechanical Race's high-ranking officials and found that many things were going more smoothly. In this land of Kyushu, they gradually found a sense of warmth and belonging to their homeland.

"System, you said before that if I reached the Ancestral God Realm, you would tell me all the secrets. Does that still stand?" Su Ping asked the system silently as he returned to the shop.

"If you reach the Ancestral God Realm, you can upgrade your shop to level 9 at any time. Of course, I keep my word," the system said.

Su Ping nodded. Upgrading the shop was no longer difficult for him. He could create dozens of clones of himself at any time, sign contracts with numerous pet beasts, and bring them to the breeding world for cultivation. His efficiency was astonishing.

At the same time, he can also accelerate time, and even if it is increased to 1000 times, it will not affect his cultivation and enlightenment. In this way, his shop will always have a full number of customers.

It only takes one or two years to meet the requirements for a level 9 store.

"Okay, I'll try it now."

Su Ping returned to the world of cultivation, and this time, he chose to come to the ancient god realm that he was familiar with.

He is currently at the God King Realm, but now he is preparing to break through to the Ancestral God Realm in one go.
