Chapter 522: The Might of the Dao Ancestor, The Madness of Tian Sha
Although Yu Yao's injuries had not fully healed, she was, after all, one of the Seven Prodigies of Tai Cang. Holding off Li Wu was well within her capabilities.
However, Yu Yao was extremely vigilant, keeping a cautious eye on Di Ying.
Di Ying couldn't be far; after all, Yu Yao had left a trace of her treasure's mark on him.
Although she couldn't pinpoint Di Ying's exact location, she knew he was lurking in the shadows, ready to strike at any moment.
Yu Yao dared not let her guard down against Di Ying, as it was his sneak attack that nearly led to her demise.
"Be careful of Di Ying!" Yu Yao warned Xiao Yao through a secret voice transmission while holding off Li Wu.
"The power of the Realm Masters is truly formidable," Meng Chong said, scratching his head in awe.
Wu Tiannan, on the other hand, was feeling anxious. He watched the battle between Yu Yao and Li Wu, wishing he could help but knowing his strength was insufficient.
Rumble!
The auras of numerous Realm Masters rippled through the Nine Mountains Realm.
"Big Brother, are all these Realm Masters here for you?" Su Lingxiu couldn't help but exclaim.
"Impossible," Xu Yan said, unsure. "I've only plundered the treasures of the Tian Sha Realm and taken away Mei Wu's possessions. I haven't offended any other Realm Masters. Could it be that they're wary of me and want to make a move?"
Whether it was plundering the treasures of the Tian Sha Realm or stealing Mei Wu's Qingling Yuzhu, Xu Yan had no psychological burden.
After all, Tian Sha and Di Ying had targeted him several times, so it was only fair that he sought compensation. Plundering the Tian Sha Realm was reasonable, and it could even be considered payment for Tian Sha's life.
As for Mei Wu, she already considered him an enemy, so he had no reason to hold back.
"Xiao Yao!"
Tian Sha's voice rang out, his aura vibrant and powerful. He seemed ready to join the fray.
Li Xuan glanced at Tian Sha and then at Di Ying, who was hiding not far away. He furrowed his brows, "This Tian Sha truly has some capabilities. No wonder he has such grand ambitions to seize control of the heavens and earth and become the master of all."
Among the group of Realm Masters, one of them spoke up, "Senior Xiao Yao!"
This Realm Master was one of the later ascendants and was evidently familiar with Xiao Yao, perhaps even having received guidance from him in the past.
Although they weren't considered strong among the Realm Masters, they were still at that level, and their strength couldn't be underestimated.
At this moment, these Realm Masters took a step forward, intending to lend their aid.
However, just as they were about to act, several oppressive auras locked onto them, causing their expressions to change. They turned their gazes toward the source of these auras.
"Have you already pledged allegiance to Tian Sha?" the Realm Masters asked.
The other Realm Masters didn't respond directly, simply saying, "Why bother meddling in matters that don't concern you? This is something for the older generation to handle. We, the younger generation, should refrain from interfering recklessly."
Tian Sha's eyes narrowed as he watched the battle between Xiao Yao and Mei Wu, showing no signs of making a move. At the same time, he observed the fight between Ao Lie and the Giant Demon, deep in thought.
Ao Lie's strength was undoubtedly on par with Xiao Yao's. How could the Dragon Subduing Technique be so terrifying that it could subdue Ao Lie in such a short time?
For some reason, Tian Sha felt that Ao Lie's behavior was unusual. No matter how he looked at it, Ao Lie didn't seem to exhibit any signs of being subdued, and there was no hint of abnormality in his actions.
It was as if Ao Lie had received some kind of order and was only acting on it.
"Xiao Yao, either you die or I do!"
Mei Wu fought with increasing ferocity, her attacks becoming wilder and more aggressive. This side of her was completely unlike her usual enchanting demeanor.
Initially, she had been secretly guarding against the sword within her, expecting it to act up at a critical moment. However, it had remained dormant throughout the battle.
This made her suspect that Xiao Yao was too focused on the fight to manipulate the sword against her.
Since that was the case, she no longer needed to hold back.
Mei Wu unleashed her full strength, relentlessly assaulting Xiao Yao. At this moment, the power of the Witch Demon Realm, the strength of the seven witches and twelve demons, was on full display.
The Realm Masters from Tai Cang Heaven watched with grave expressions. Mei Wu, as an ancient small heaven and earth master, possessed strength that surpassed theirs.
Moreover, Mei Wu's power was peculiarly bewitching. Even as she fought with reckless abandon, there was always a peculiar allure to her that tugged at their heartstrings, stirring up feelings of sympathy and desire to aid her. One could only imagine the pressure faced by those who faced her directly.
"Even with the three of them working together, they might not be able to match Mei Wu!" exclaimed one of the Realm Masters in awe.
Among the seven witches and twelve demons, Mei Wu was unique and the most troublesome. While her power might not seem exceptionally strong, the constant allure and bewitchment of her abilities made them incredibly hard to defend against.
"Are you trying to scare me?" Xiao Yao retorted, equally annoyed.
"Truly worthy of being the leader of the Seven Prodigies of Tai Cang!"
The Realm Masters couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
Mei Wu was indeed powerful, but the reclusive master, with his unruly hair, stood firm against her enchanting influence. His overwhelming fist strength surged forth, and it seemed that Mei Wu was gradually falling into a disadvantageous position.
"Tian Sha!" Mei Wu shouted angrily.
She glared at Tian Sha, who had yet to make a move. Was he planning to hold back and rely solely on his status, refraining from joining the attack?
"No need to rush. The outcome will be decided soon enough," Tian Sha replied with a slight smile. Even as he spoke, Di Ying was already stealthily moving closer to the battlefield.
If he was going to act, it would be with a decisive, fatal strike.
After all, their opponent was the leader of the Seven Prodigies of Tai Cang, and her teacher was from Tai Cang. If they failed to deliver a fatal blow, she might very well escape.
Just like what happened with Yu Yao; she had managed to flee and survive.
"Meng Chong, prepare to die!"
Suddenly, a Realm Master filled with murderous intent charged directly toward Meng Chong.
It was the Wan Tao Realm Master!
"It's Wan Tao!"
The Realm Masters who had received favors from the reclusive master's disciples paled. Wan Tao was seeking revenge for his son! Although they had never met Meng Chong, his description was unmistakable—bald and stout. There was no one else in the courtyard who fit that description.
"How dare you target the young! Have you no shame?" one of the Realm Masters shouted, intending to stop Wan Tao. However, they were immediately locked down by a powerful aura, preventing them from interfering.
"Blame it on Li Xuan for breaking the rules first. Wan Tao is justified in his actions!" another Realm Master said with a sinister smile.
Li Xuan was already engaged in an intense battle with Mei Wu, leaving him unable to split his attention and save his disciple.
"You dared to kill my son, and now I will tear you apart piece by piece, letting you die a slow and painful death!" Wan Tao roared, his eyes bloodshot with rage. His imposing aura pressed down on Meng Chong, intending to crush him with fear and helplessness, making him kneel and beg for mercy.
He wanted Meng Chong to experience the depths of despair!
However, Meng Chong merely reached up and scratched his head, seemingly unconcerned. Wan Tao couldn't help but wonder if he had misjudged the situation.
Why did Meng Chong's gaze seem as if he were looking at a dead man?
Impossible!
It must be that Meng Chong was too terrified and desperate, causing him to appear confused! Everyone in the courtyard stared at Wan Tao, their eyes filled with excitement as if they were witnessing a dead man walking.
Finally, they would get to see the mighty Dao Ancestor in action once more!
"Meng Chong, you killed my son and left no trace of his body. I, as a Realm Master, will not only crush you into dust but also torture you slowly. I will make you experience pain, regret, and despair..." Wan Tao ranted, his face contorted with madness.
"Hmph!"
Suddenly, a soft hum interrupted Wan Tao's threats.
"Who do you think you are, threatening my disciple right in front of me?" a calm voice asked.
Wan Tao froze, caught off guard by the sudden rebuke. Before he could react, he felt a tight grip around his neck.
"You..."
Wan Tao's eyes widened in horror as he turned to look at the young man sitting casually in a chair, seemingly unremarkable and drawing no attention to himself.
This would be the last thing he ever saw.
With a casual lift of his hand, Li Xuan crushed Wan Tao's body, reducing him to nothingness.
In an instant, a Realm Master was obliterated without the slightest chance to resist. He was like an insignificant ant, effortlessly squashed.
The heavens and earth trembled, and in a certain realm within the Dao Domain, the laws of nature momentarily lost their controller.
Gulp!
At that moment, all the Realm Masters present stared at the young man sitting in the chair, their hearts filled with shock and awe.
Ever since they had become Realm Masters, they had forgotten what it felt like to experience true shock and fear. But now, those emotions surged forth like a flood, causing their hearts to quiver.
Wan Tao had been a Realm Master, and even though he wasn't among the top-tier Realm Masters, he was still one of them.
If he could be effortlessly crushed like an ant, then so could they!
Just how powerful was this young man?
Was he the Master of Heaven and Earth? But Tai Cang Heaven and Earth had no such master, and this young man didn't possess the characteristics associated with that role.
The Giant Demon frantically retreated, his face contorted with fear, no longer daring to continue the fight.
Even the maddened Mei Wu was terrified, quickly backing away from the courtyard.
Di Ying, who had been preparing to strike, also quietly distanced himself from the courtyard, no longer daring to make a move.
Ao Lie and Ba Mo also ceased their attacks.
Tian Sha's expression turned grim as he stared intently at the young man sitting in the chair, holding a jade scepter and exuding an air of casual ease.
Old Man Xiao swallowed, his eyes wide as he muttered, "The Dao Ancestor doesn't make a move often, but when he does, it's like squishing an ant to death."
Ao Yuxue timidly moved behind Xu Yan, her small hand clutching his clothes as she silently rejoiced, "The Dao Ancestor could have easily squished Grandpa to death with a snap of his fingers, but he held back because he was considering me, his junior. It was I who saved Grandpa!"
As these thoughts raced through her mind, she felt relieved that the Dao Ancestor was not a bloodthirsty person. As long as one didn't offend him, there was nothing to fear.
"You dare to ask who he is?" Old Man Xiao glared at Tian Sha, his anger rising. "Kneel and thank the Dao Ancestor for his mercy!"
"Dao Ancestor?" Tian Sha's eyes narrowed, a hint of madness lurking in their depths.
He had plotted for so many years, and just as he was about to succeed, a "Dao Ancestor" suddenly appeared, ruining all his plans. How could Tian Sha tolerate this?
Madness consumed his thoughts, filling his mind with rage. "I, Tian Sha, possess talent and intelligence that rivals anyone in the world. My only regret is being born in an unlucky time. Otherwise, I would have become the master of the heavens and the earth, the strongest ruler!
Since I missed the opportunity due to bad timing, I shall create my own opportunity. No one can stop me!"
With that, Tian Sha's figure vanished from his spot, soaring towards the sky. He unleashed a fierce palm strike, aiming at the barrier between the Divine Realm and the Dao Realm.
"Descend!" Tian Sha roared furiously.
A thunderous rumble shook the heavens and the earth, causing everything to tremble slightly as if something was about to enter this realm.
All the Realm Masters looked up, their faces filled with shock as they seemed to realize something. Their expressions changed drastically.
"Tian Sha, have you gone mad?"
"Are you trying to destroy the heavens and the earth?"
Many of the Realm Masters were on edge, unable to remain seated.
The Witch Demons seemed to realize something as well, their faces twisting in shock.
"Tian Sha, do you intend to crash the entire Witch Demon Realm into this one?" Power Witch exclaimed in horror.
Although their agreement with Tian Sha was to lure the Witch Demon Realm into the Tai Cang Realm, it wasn't supposed to be an all-out collision. It was supposed to be a gradual process.
If the entire realm crashed in, the Tai Cang Realm would suffer immense turbulence, resulting in countless casualties and severe damage.
"Should we stop him?" Giant Demon asked, his scalp tingling.
Tian Sha had gone insane!
"Why stop him?" Witch Demon replied with a crazed look on her face. "If we don't take this chance, how can we ever stand a chance against them? How can we establish ourselves in this world?"
"Let's help Tian Sha! Together, we can accelerate the collision of the Witch Demon Realm!" With that, Witch Demon soared into the sky.
Power Witch and Giant Demon hesitated for a moment before gritting their teeth and joining her. They had no other choice now; it was do or die.
"He's gone mad! Completely mad!" Yu Yao exclaimed, her face pale.
The other Realm Masters shared her sentiment, their faces drained of color. While they could survive the aftermath of the collision by avoiding the center, the Tai Cang Realm would still face a catastrophic disaster if things got out of hand.
The heavens and the earth were about to undergo a drastic change, and the Divine Realm and the Dao Realm would cease to exist, perhaps even reverting to their initial state.
Moreover, the collision would cause unrest and chaos, marking the greatest calamity since the ancient battle of the heavens.
Dao Realm.
Tai Miao's expression changed drastically as he looked up, then turned to the three Witch Demons. "Have you lost your minds?"
The three Witch Demons were equally shocked. Why were they pulling the Witch Demon Realm into the Tai Cang Realm at this moment? And with such force, the Tai Cang Realm would definitely be thrown into chaos, resulting in a great catastrophe!
Although the Witch Demon Realm was damaged and not as grand as the Tai Cang Realm, it was still a realm with immense power.
The impact on the Tai Cang Realm would be tremendous, causing countless casualties and severe damage. This was not part of the initial plan!
"Has Tian Sha gone mad?" asked Fallen Witch, his face ashen.
"Should we stop him?" asked Demon King, his voice deep and serious.
Just then, Witch Demon's voice rang out, "Take action! All of you, help guide the realm and accelerate its collision! This is our only chance!"
Upon hearing this, the three Witch Demons were startled. Something must have happened in the Divine Realm for them to resort to such a risky move!
