Chapter 767: Refining the Yin-Yang Dao
Qin Feng glanced at the wound on his fingertip and twitched the corners of his mouth slightly.
A streak of emerald-green lightning flickered, and the wound on his fingertip quickly healed.
He had intended to ask about the purpose of setting up the Heavenly Star Shift formation, but just then, a black coffin shot past him, stirring up a gust of wind.
It was the old gravekeeper’s black coffin!
Qin Feng quickly looked toward the battlefield. The old gravekeeper’s condition was not optimistic—his limbs had been twisted like pretzels.
He was both shocked and puzzled. Why didn’t the old gravekeeper transform into his prime form and engage in battle? Could it be that his decrepit body needed to be completely destroyed before he could regenerate?
If that were the case, wouldn’t he need to self-destruct every time he used his full power?
Just then, the giant eye spoke quietly, “It seems that your previous state is not accessible at will and is subject to many limitations.”
Qin Feng turned his gaze toward the old gravekeeper, who neither refuted nor took any action, indicating his agreement.
“Is it possible that the mysterious ability has entered a cooldown period? What should we do now? The old gravekeeper’s Yin-Yang laws are crucial to eliminating these bizarre beings.”He glanced at the other battlefields. The Dragon Ancestor and Heaven Killing Asura fought with ease, their hands already stained with the blood of countless Gods and Demons.
However, some peculiar Dao were still constraining the two, preventing them from fully disengaging in the short term.
Under Su Tianyue’s illusion laws, the Third Stage cultivators were doing their best to contain the trapped Gods and Demons, but their effectiveness was limited.
Other than his two wives, only a few others could cause significant damage to the enemies.
As for the Flame Lord’s battle…
Their fight raged from the sea of flames to the sky and then to the horizon. As the battle progressed, the Flame Lord seemed to be gradually falling behind.
Despite being revered by the Gods and Demons, the Flame Lord’s strength was naturally profound. However, Qin Feng noticed a problem: the Flame Lord only used Heavenly Flame laws throughout the entire battle.
‘Even lesser beings like the Night Wandering Ghost wield more than one type of Dao. A formidable being like the Flame Lord must have other abilities.’
‘The reason for not using them is most likely due to the fear of the opponent’s strange ability to steal Dao.’ Qin Feng pondered.
Boom!
A ghastly skeletal arm emerged from the void and struck the Flame Lord, sending him crashing into the sea of flames.
Even with Qin Feng’s Dual Pupil Ability, he couldn’t react in time to see how the skeletal arm had appeared!
Meanwhile, on the other side, the enormous eye was also wary of the old gravekeeper’s Yin-Yang laws. After distorting his limbs, the eye separated the old gravekeeper from his black coffin without delivering a killing blow.
It spoke to the giant hand from a distance, “To be safe, let’s simultaneously devour his body and black coffin to prevent the possibility of his regeneration”
“Agreed,” the giant hand responded, exerting powerful suction to draw the black coffin submerged in the volcano toward it.
Both the eye and the hand sprouted gaping maws filled with sharp teeth.
At that moment, the star on the Heavenly Star Shift formation suddenly brightened, and a figure emerged slowly.
The powerful pressure was like a landslide and tsunami, sweeping across the surroundings.
Everyone’s attention was drawn to this overwhelming presence.
Qin Feng turned back, his face shocked to see Divine Guardian emerging from the formation. Wasn’t he supposed to be unable to leave the Imperial City?
The Divine Guardian glanced at the battlefield, then looked at the battered old gravekeeper and remarked coolly, “Your body has decayed to this extent?”
A raspy laugh sounded, and the old gravekeeper replied, “It’s been a while since I’ve been on the battlefield. I’m a bit out of practice.”
“How much longer?” asked Divine Guardian Yu.
“Ten breaths should suffice.”
The enormous eye’s pupil widened suddenly, as it could sense the terrifying battle prowess emanating from the white-haired and black-bearded man.
However, in its calculations, such a formidable force should not have been possible.
“The master of Heavenly Mandate,” it realized, immediately commanding, “Attack!”
Upon hearing this, the giant hand opened its massive, gaping mouth, aiming to swallow the black coffin whole.
Heaven’s Eye did not hesitate either, intending to devour the old gravekeeper simultaneously.
However, just as they moved to strike, both Heaven’s Eye and the giant hand were suddenly struck away, sent flying by a powerful force. The ferocious shockwave nearly extinguished the sea of flames in an instant!
Qin Feng’s eyes widened in disbelief. Divine Guardian’s strength once again exceeded his expectations.
All the Gods and Demons paused their actions, unable to hide their fear as they watched the white-haired, black-bearded man.
Heaven Killing Asura furrowed his brow and shouted, “Old man, did you hold back during the battle at Imperial City?”
“Since we are allies, let’s stop there.” Divine Guardian replied calmly.
The main reason, of course, was that if he had gone all out, how could Imperial City have remained unscathed?
The Dragon Ancestor’s mouth appeared again, “Such abundant life force… If I could devour you…”
The sentence was abruptly cut off.
Divine Guardian’s gaze turned toward the Dragon Ancestor, causing the mouth to hide once more in fear. It knew it couldn’t afford to mess with this god of death.
“Do you need my assistance?” The Divine Guardian asked calmly.
Qin Feng gulped nervously. Based on the volatile tempers of the Dragon Ancestor and Heaven Killing Asura, such words were like a slap in the face.
As expected, the two reacted angrily, veins bulging on their foreheads, and shouted in unison, “Do you know who you are speaking to?”
“Since you don’t need my help, then make it quick,” Divine Guardian replied.
Heaven Killing Asura clenched his fists tightly, while the Dragon Ancestor’s long gray hair waved with the surge of its anger.
Their wrath transformed into a murderous aura that would engulf the Gods and Demons.
Indeed, the Gods and Demons were still reeling in shock when the Dragon Ancestor and Heaven Killing Asura attacked once more.
The two, drenched in blood, resembled demons from hell, striking fear into the hearts of the Gods and Demons.
Meanwhile, golden light wove itself into a heavenly net, attempting to envelop the Divine Guardian.
The Divine Guardian raised his right hand and waved it. Qin Feng and his two companions were instantly pushed back by a powerful force, while the golden net fully covered Divine Guardian.
This was a Dao of golden light sealing from the giant hand, a power it had absorbed from the Dao of previous Gods and Demons it had devoured. Within the heavenly net, the opponent’s power would be greatly restricted, allowing the giant hand to absorb the Dao of its victims.
“Such powerful force… If I can absorb your Dao, my strength will increase significantly.”
“Don’t waste time with words,” the Giant eye warned. “Hurry, before things change.”
The giant hand responded, “I know.” It then moved toward the captive Divine Guardian.
Divine Guardian scanned the surrounding golden net and stretched out his arms, as if trying to tear apart the confinement with brute force.
The giant hand responded calmly, “It’s futile. Your fate has long been sealed.”
“Indeed, it was predestined,” The voice did not come from the Divine Guardian, but from behind him!
Countless faces on the giant hand turned to look. The old gravekeeper had already transformed into his younger form, and it seemed that the ten breaths of time had long passed!
The domain of black and white expanded. The giant hand knew this was the supernatural power of the laws of life and death, so it dared not hesitate and quickly tried to escape.
However, at that moment, it seemed as if an invisible hand held it tightly in place.
Crackling sounds echoed through the air.
The giant hand looked around, only to see that the golden net, which had always been invincible, was being forcibly torn apart by the white-haired, black-bearded man!
“This confinement is not even a fraction as strong as that old man’s,” Divine Guardian shook his head, referring to the Heavenly Tower National Teacher.
The giant hand, which had never experienced emotions, was now engulfed in a fear of death.
It struggled and twisted its body, using various Dao.
But the Divine Guardian simply swiped his right hand, causing those Dao’s to crumble into dust.
“Heaven’s Eye!” The giant hand let out a piercing scream, hoping for assistance from the giant eye.
Yet the giant eye was fixated on Divine Guardian, seemingly observing something.
Until the giant hand’s body was crushed inch by inch and turned to ashes in the gravekeeper’s lethal realm of life and death.
“Is it dead?” The other Gods and Demons, already terrified by the ferocity of Heaven Killing Asura and the Dragon Ancestor, were further shaken by this scene.
They had fully experienced how powerful and difficult these eerie beings were during the battles of the past thousands of years.
Not only were they immortal, but they could also seize the Dao’s of Gods and Demons and turn them to their own use.
Such formidable and terrifying enemies!
If not, they wouldn’t have betrayed the Immortal Realm and the Heavenly Emperor.
But now, the giant hand was easily suppressed and defeated, and even its immortal supernatural abilities were nullified. How could there be such terrifying beings in this small realm?
With their companion dead, the battle was already lopsided against the Gods and Demons.
Yet the giant eye seemed indifferent and spoke calmly, “I see now. I had thought that this world’s laws granted you unimaginable power, but it seems not entirely true.”
“The Giant Hand’s power is far beyond this, yet it hadn’t realized how severely it was being suppressed, and that suppression did not entirely come from this world’s Heaven.”
“Now I seem to understand what you said before – don’t fight with others in their Domain.”
“This world is your domain.”
As it spoke, its body began to disintegrate, but the old gravekeeper and Divine Guardian did not attack it!
Upon seeing this, the City God reminded, “It’s dissolving itself! In the past, the Heavenly Emperor tried to seal it with Kunlun Mountain, and to evade the Heavenly Emperor, it used this move to escape into the void!”
“Don’t let it succeed. Among these eerie beings, it is one of the most unique!”
Upon hearing this, Divine Guardian grasped the space around the giant eye and sealed it off. The dissolution of the giant eyes’s physical form ceased, as if the scene had been frozen.
At the same time, the old gravekeeper enveloped the being within his domain, and unleashed the powers of the laws of life and death.
To shatter its life force and trace back to its origin!
With a loud bang, the physical body of the giant eye instantly disintegrated into dust!
However, the old gravekeeper furrowed his brows and said in a grave voice, “I cannot sense its life force being stripped away.”
Divine Guardian narrowed his eyes slightly and replied calmly, “We’ve all been deceived. From the very beginning, it wasn’t its true form nor a mere clone, but rather an illusion so convincing it could pass for reality.”
Despite the fact that most of the heavenly secrets were shrouded by the Heavenly Tower National Teacher, the giant eye could still foresee its own future and had taken precautions from the outset!
“What now?” the old gravekeeper asked.
Divine Guardian looked towards the dark curtain suspended in the sky. “My time outside Imperial City is limited. That old man sent me here at great cost to uncover the truth beyond the abyss.”
With that, he leapt towards the dark curtain.
However, just then, a figure emerged from the sea of red flames and blocked Divine Guardian’s path—it was the Flame Lord.
With a detached expression, the Flame Lord spoke coldly, “By the order of the Heavenly Emperor, I guard this place and forbid anyone from passing through.”
“Do you seek death?” Divine Guardian asked, his words laced with murderous intent.
The City God quickly stepped forward and intervened, “Hold, there must be a way to resolve this!”
He turned to the Flame Lord and advised, “The Heavenly Emperor and many Gods and Demons from the Immortal Realm have vanished. The Buddha realm has also been wiped out.”
“The many clues we’ve gathered point to this location. Please, Flame Lord, step aside so we can explore and uncover the truth!”
The Immortal Realm was already on the brink of collapse, and the City God placed all hope on the realm beyond the abyss.
Yet, the Flame Lord remained silent, and instead, the red lotus sea of flames blazed even brighter.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Qin Feng, too far away to hear the situation clearly, could only sense the tension in the air.
He didn’t focus his attention on that, instead he directed his attention to his two wives within the illusionary realm.
With Heaven Killing Asura and the Dragon Ancestor’s killing everyone on the battlefield, only a few Gods and Demons remained.
When he saw the Dragon Ancestor entering the illusionary realm, Qin Feng realized that the battle was drawing to a close.
At that moment, his spirit quivered!
Sensing an unexpected change, Qin Feng quickly directed his consciousness into his Divine Sea and saw mystical Dao patterns being drawn together by the yin-yang fish, converging towards the black and white qi.
“Is this… the Dao Principles?”
In surprise, Qin Feng quickly grasped the situation.
With so many gods and demons killed in this battle, how much of the remaining Dao Principles must have accumulated?
Qin Feng was thrilled as he watched the ever-evolving Yin-Yang Dao Principles. Since these Dao Principles had become unclaimed and were no longer aggressive towards him, they would naturally be completely absorbed by his Yin-Yang Dao Principles, strengthening his own.
“No wonder the teacher said that my breakthrough to the second rank would come from here—it was because of this!” Qin Feng exclaimed.
As the yin-yang Dao Principles continued to merge and evolve, it wasn’t long before the surface of the black and white qi erupted in a brilliant golden light, signifying the perfection of the yin-yang Dao Principles!
Chi Qi and Bai Su, who were standing nearby, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, their eyes filled with longing.
On the Heart Questioning Platform, Xuan Yi’s phantom materialized, and when he saw this scene, he said, “Now you can let these two little ones completely absorb the Yin-Yang Dao Principles.
Upon hearing this, Qin Feng immediately acted upon it.
With Qin Feng’s approval, Chi Qi and Bai Su wasted no time, rushing forward and beginning to devour the Yin-Yang Dao Principles to enjoy the feast.
The two devoured quickly, and in a short time, they had consumed all the black and white qi.
At that moment, the two little creatures underwent changes as well.
Chi Qi’s body grew larger, and lightning arcs crackled around it, emitting a powerful aura.
Bai Su, on the other hand, let the tender sprout on its head grow into a small sapling, and its radish-like body grew longer and more graceful.
Boom!
The powerful force of the Dao Principles began to flow back to Qin Feng.
A black and white yin-yang fish took shape and swam swiftly within the Divine Sea.
The mysterious aura made Qin Feng feel as if he was in heaven.
At the same time, high above in the sky, the world seemed to be splitting apart as the Heavenly Tribulation approached.
