Immortality: Starting with a grave, I'm invincible when burying corpses.

When 389,687,321 beams of light descended from the heavens, the future of the Yin-Yang Domain took a completely different turn from what it had been before.

Like the final judgment, a rain of light descended from the sky, its exquisite beauty masking a murderous intent that would annihilate everything.

With each strike of the light sword, a sinner vanishes into the world, their essence returned to its purest form by the power of the Five Elements.

The entire trial lasted no more than half an hour, without affecting any unrelated individuals, nor letting any criminal go unpunished.

Only twelve demon lords received special attention, and the lightsabers aimed at them were even more dazzling and blinding.

A will as vast as the world itself pressed down on the Demon Lord, turning these normally high and mighty beings into lambs to the slaughter.

No matter how hard the demon lords tried, they could only watch helplessly as everything happened, as the lightsabers pierced through their bodies, as their shells turned to ashes under the colorful light, wiped out from the world like the mortals they had once devoured.

The cultivation he had accumulated over hundreds and thousands of years, and the cultivation he had gained through various trials, were all turned into resources and forcibly taken away by Mu An before he returned to the world.

The two demonic treasures that the demon lords had placed high hopes on, as well as the Ten Directions Annihilation Array that covered the entire Yin Yin Domain, all failed to play any role.

The two demonic treasures were swept away by the Five Luminous Divine Radiance, and the Ten Directions Annihilation Array further restricted the actions of the demon lords.

An overwhelming force annihilated the Demon Lord of the Yin Yin Domain, silencing all onlookers in the world.

Although they are both called terrestrial immortals, the difference between them is so great that they seem to be in completely different realms.

Or rather, the difference between them is not just one or two levels, but an insurmountable chasm.

Just as terrestrial deities view mortals as wheat in the field, crop after crop, consumables that can be freely disposed of by them.

In the eyes of the supreme sages of heaven and earth, these terrestrial immortals are actually quite similar beings, except that their harvest cycle is longer, requiring more patience and effort.

If mortals are like crops in the field, then terrestrial immortals are more like lambs on the grassland, requiring a little more effort to herd.

Just how strong is the Old Celestial Master? This question has always troubled every powerful figure in the Nine Realms.

Even for most terrestrial deities, the Old Celestial Master is more like a legend than someone who lived in the same era as them.

No one has ever seen the Celestial Master go all out, nor is anyone qualified to make him go all out.

Because we cannot understand it, we feel awe; and precisely because we cannot understand it, we do not experience much real fear.

Before opening up the Starfall Domain and ascending to the status of a supreme saint, Mu An didn't quite understand this question. He even took it for granted that the old Celestial Master had only taken a little bit of the path of cultivation ahead of him.

For Mu An at that time, the power of the Book of Creation ultimately did not belong to him. Even though he could destroy the world, he was still relying on external forces and could not understand the differences in detail.

It wasn't until Mu An ascended to the position of the Supreme Saint of Heaven and Earth and truly touched the deepest level of power in the Nine Realms that he gradually understood what the so-called "Supreme Saint of Heaven and Earth" really meant.

To sum it up in the simplest terms, it can be summed up in just four words.

"Acting for the way of heaven."

-

The moment one enters the realm of the most sacred of heaven and earth, the essence of life undergoes a leap.

The most sacred being in the universe is constantly merging with the universe, evolving towards greater perfection every minute and every second.

In the world seen by the Supreme Sage of Heaven and Earth, there are no secrets in the world; if you want to know, there is nothing you cannot know.

Even every established Great Dao existing in the world is laid out before you, ready to be comprehended and used at any time.

With a little guidance, it is even possible to bypass the universe itself and seize the great Dao that is about to be born.

Past, present, future... Destiny has become something that can be observed and guided.

Heaven and earth are like a chessboard, and all living beings are like chess pieces.

This statement is no longer just a description; it has become a tangible reality.

If we say that terrestrial immortals can only borrow a small portion of the power of heaven and earth, they are insignificant in the face of heaven and earth.

That supreme sage of heaven and earth is compatible with the world itself and can freely invoke all the laws that exist in the world; he is the true Lesser Heavenly Dao.

This is a realm that should never have been born, yet it has truly appeared in the Nine Realms.

If the higher-dimensional path to immortality had not been shattered long ago, and if there were no true laws of immortality in the world, and all souls in the world were missing a small part as a result, the Supreme Saint of Heaven and Earth should have been a mysterious realm that lived as long as Heaven and Earth.

It was only after reaching this level that Mu An truly understood what the world looked like in the eyes of the Old Celestial Master, and also understood why the Old Celestial Master had the idea of ​​replacing the Heavenly Dao.

In the Nine Realms, the Supreme Saint of Heaven and Earth is, in a sense, the embodiment of the world's will.

If Mu An hadn't been exceptionally special, the Nine Realms would never have produced a second Supreme Saint of Heaven and Earth.

The path that Xuanling Bodhisattva has always pursued and the future he envisioned are actually all within the Old Celestial Master's plan.

As long as Mu An doesn't interfere, every possible future has already been calculated by the Old Celestial Master.

The gap between the two was too great, unimaginable. Relying solely on that so-called Buddhist treasure, there was absolutely no hope of winning.

From the moment the Celestial Master stepped into the realm of supreme sainthood, the outcome was already predetermined.

This is not a difference in supernatural powers or techniques, nor a difference in the number of people who have mastered the Great Dao, but an insurmountable chasm.

The Buddhist treasures might allow Xuanling Bodhisattva to temporarily escape the shackles of fate, and even gain the ability to overturn tables in certain areas, but the Old Celestial Master has more ways to incorporate all of this into his calculations.

If what the Xuanling Bodhisattva has been doing all along is to cultivate diligently in order to influence the laws of heaven and earth, and thus gain control over the power of the laws bestowed upon him by heaven and earth.

What the old Celestial Master was doing was to completely bring the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth under his control, replacing the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth that should have appeared with prototypes of Dao principles created by him.

The two men are doing the same thing, seemingly blocking the way for newcomers, but their underlying nature is completely different.

With each major path he masters, the Celestial Master takes a step closer to the Heavenly Dao. Every Dao Fruit he plants is a struggle for power with Heaven and Earth.

All of Xuanling Bodhisattva's efforts were actually just applying the laws; he did not become the master of the laws.

For the Old Celestial Master, from the day he ascended to the highest rank in Heaven and Earth, applying the laws became the simplest thing.

Because the supreme sage of heaven and earth can freely invoke the laws of heaven and earth.

From Mu An's current perspective, even if Xuanling Bodhisattva were given another thousand years, he would still not be able to reach the realm of the Supreme Saint of Heaven and Earth.

Because he cannot control the Great Dao like the Old Celestial Master, because Heaven and Earth themselves cannot bear the appearance of a third supreme sage of Heaven and Earth.

This seemingly insurmountable gap is reflected in the current situation.

With the slight enhancement of the Book of Creation, Mu An destroyed the demonic path of the Yin Yin Domain with a single strike.

With a little preparation, the old master can also recreate this scene.

It's no exaggeration to say that even if all the terrestrial deities in the world were tied together, they wouldn't be a match for Mu An and the Old Celestial Master.

Amidst the rain of light, except for one person who was "lucky" enough not to be killed by the lightsaber and "coincidentally" had an escape route prepared, he "luckily" escaped from the Crimson Fire Demon Lord of the Nine Realms.

Under Mu An's guidance, a huge colorful vortex appeared in the sky above the Yin-Yang Domain. After being annihilated by the lightsaber, the eleven Demon Lords and hundreds of millions of Demon Cultists were all turned into colorful light spots and sucked into the vortex.

This action caused a change in the sky; the sky, which had been covered in rosy light, instantly became covered in dark clouds, and countless purple bolts of lightning roared and howled in the dark clouds.

For some reason, the magnificent heavenly might only lasted for less than a quarter of an hour, as if it were throwing a tantrum, and the commotion subsided in no time.

As the thunder grew shorter, the afterglow once again covered the entire sky.

……

Above the nine heavens, at the edge of the realm.

A continuous stream of power emanated from the vortex above the Yin Yin Domain, converging towards Mu An.

With a blink of an eye composed of five colors, an illusory ancient book appeared in Mu An's hand.

With a wave of his hand, Mu An created a river that existed between reality and illusion in the void.

Every drop of water in the river reflects a corner of the Nine Realms.

Mu An remained calm as five-colored light emanated from his raised hand. As the light rushed into the river, the water suddenly boiled and accelerated in the opposite direction, causing the scene in the water droplets to rewind rapidly.

Scenes from the past flashed by in the river, eventually settling on a time more than a hundred years ago.

In the center of the scene, an ancient city is ablaze, and a gate engulfed in flames stands atop a sea of ​​blood.

As the portal slowly opened, two great demons, one named "Yi" and the other "Kui," crossed over from another realm.

"Found it!"
