Chapter 33 Fishing, in Harmony with Heaven's Will
"What does the Lord of Chaos want to do?"
"Does he want to align himself with the will of Heaven?"
The hand that Yu Dao reached towards the heart of the heavens, though far away on the edge of the universe, was clearly visible in the eyes of the Supreme Being.
Deep within the forbidden zone of life, countless wills trembled simultaneously. The Lord of Chaos, who had just slain the Stone Emperor and suppressed the Golden Lion Ancient Emperor, had not even left the battlefield before directly attacking the Azure Emperor's Heavenly Heart Mark.
This move was beyond everyone's expectations!
This is something that has never happened before in history.
Since the age of mythology, those who attain enlightenment have always made a final leap, merging their bodies with the will of Heaven to achieve the pinnacle of the Dao in their time. Although there are beings like the Emperor, who was once one of the nine Heavenly Venerables of the age of mythology, and then lived a new life to attain enlightenment again; or like the Underworld Emperor, who was originally the corpse of a Heavenly Venerable who had undergone tribulation, and whose dead body gave rise to a new will to cultivate and become an emperor again.
However, the former's two lifetimes were connected, and the Heavenly Heart Mark did not resist him. The latter, in a sense, was no longer the same person, and only attained enlightenment after the previous enlightened being's Great Dao had been exhausted. There has never been an enlightened being who, with the Heavenly Heart Mark already existing in the world, forcibly merged with the Heavenly Heart with the body of a flawless imperial being.
Moreover, the path of cultivation of this ancient supreme being is completely different from that of this world.
Before aligning with the will of Heaven, he had already grasped the imperial throne, and the Great Dao of the Azure Emperor still remained within the imprint of the will of Heaven. What would be the result of aligning with the will of Heaven in this state? No one could know.
"That young man named Gai Jiuyou was defeated before the Azure Emperor's Great Path, but the Lord of Chaos is a true master of the Imperial Path. He comes from the Chaotic Ancient Era, and his realm and methods are inconceivable. If we only need to take a look at the Heavenly Heart Mark, it will definitely not be difficult for him."
Deep within the Primordial Ancient Mine, the awakened Qilin Ancient Emperor looked up at the sky, its azure scales shimmering faintly in the immortal energy. Its voice was filled with doubt, "But to align with the will of Heaven while the Azure Emperor's Great Dao still exists would violate the ironclad laws of Heaven and Earth. This is comparable to opposing the entire Great Heaven and Earth; all paths will come to obstruct us… The Lord of Chaos is strong enough, but can he truly defy this Great Heaven and Earth?"
"The ancient corpse of Chaos has only been resurrected for a hundred years. Does it truly understand the great principles of this era? It is far too arrogant... It may suffer a great loss!" In the Divine Ruins, a Supreme Being spoke coldly, with a hint of expectation in his tone.
The universe and the stars, at infinite heights.
Yu Dao grasped the vibrating Heavenly Heart in his hand, forcibly using this Heavenly Heart, which did not belong to him, to sense the entire universe.
The chaotic radiance of the Wheel of Reincarnation spread along his arm to the depths of the heavens, propelling his divine sense to every corner of the myriad realms. His perception pierced through galaxies, through the void, and through those forbidden lands that even supreme beings were unwilling to easily set foot in.
However, the source of that cold, damp gaze could not be found.
This was within his expectations.
If it were that easy to find, the monsters created by the Underworld Emperor wouldn't have been able to wreak havoc for so long.
With the imposing presence of the Great Emperor Wushi, seeking revenge for his father, if they could be found, how could they possibly survive? The Origin Gods, Origin Ghosts, and the Heavenly Nether Treasures, in terms of concealment, far surpass any supreme being. They could even evade the Great Emperor Wushi's pursuit; how could they be easily detected by a single divine sense scan?
"Since you're waiting for an opportunity, why not create one for you?" Yu said softly.
To tread upon all paths and defy the heavens is, in the current understanding, a futile endeavor. To force one's way through would incur the condemnation of all paths, and even emperors and sovereigns might perish. Certain ironclad laws of the universe are considered immutable; for example, a sacred body cannot attain enlightenment, emperors and sovereigns cannot meet, and only when the previous enlightened being has exhausted their Dao can a successor have the opportunity to attain enlightenment.
But all paths have their limits.
The future Emperor Ye, under the suppression of the Golden Crow Emperor, broke through all the myriad paths, attained the Dao with his sacred body, and at the same time shattered the two so-called fundamental rules of the universe.
All of this is unknown to the current supreme beings.
A small figure emerged from between Yu Dao's eyebrows.
That was his primordial spirit, identical to his face, except that it radiated a lustrous immortal light. The primordial spirit strolled through the void, lotus blossoms blooming with each step, each step landing on a key point of the Azure Emperor's Great Dao. The azure Dao marks that had once left Gai Jiuyou battered and bruised melted away beneath the primordial spirit's feet like ice and snow.
The petty man walked leisurely, heading straight to the deepest part of the heavens.
The little man sits cross-legged in the center of heaven, his body in harmony with the center of heaven.
In the darkness, various forms of suppression and calamity were about to descend. It was the punishment of this world for those who defied the iron laws, the instinctive rejection of the Heavenly Heart Imprint, and the lingering power of the Azure Emperor's Great Dao.
However, the Great Dao of Reincarnation emerged, and the four extraordinary phenomena of creation, existence, annihilation, and rebirth unfolded in sequence around the primordial spirit, transforming into a slowly rotating halo.
With each rotation of the halo, the pressing calamities are drawn into the cycle of reincarnation, where they are worn down, their malevolence dissolved, and they return to nothingness in the endless cycle of birth and death. All the calamities are like streams flowing into a vast ocean; seemingly turbulent, they are incorporated into a larger order the moment they touch the halo of reincarnation, never to cause another ripple.
When his primordial spirit merged with the will of Heaven, he made a conscious thought.
In an instant, the backlash from all directions surged forth from all corners of the universe!
That wasn't the rejection of the Azure Emperor's Great Dao, but rather the simultaneous eruption of the fundamental laws of the entire universe. Chaotic lightning descended from the heavens, and dark flames surged from the depths of the netherworld. Void rifts opened simultaneously from all directions, each rift unleashing a storm of laws powerful enough to tear apart star fields.
The myriad paths transformed into tangible calamities, with countless divine chains of order shooting forth from the void. Each chain contained a complete law of heaven and earth, some possessing the power to burn the heavens, others the power to annihilate the world, some the power of spatial law to cleave the void, and others the power of temporal law to strangle the light and shadow. They converged and crashed down upon the figure standing at the infinite heights!
Under the remote control of Yu Dao Yuan Shen, his supreme imperial body surged forth!
The Wheel of Reincarnation hovered above his head, its chaotic radiance pouring down like mercury, enveloping the Emperor's body in an endless curtain of chaotic light. The Emperor unleashed a punch, his fist carrying the immense, newly born blood and the true intent of creation, blasting a massive hole in the oncoming myriad tribulations. Fragments of the myriad tribulations scattered in all directions, yet the Emperor did not retreat an inch, instead charging upwards against the tribulations. Fist, palm, fingers, knee—every part of his body transformed into the sharpest weapon, fiercely battling the myriad tribulations at infinite heights!
Meanwhile, within the Heavenly Heart, the Primordial Spirit simultaneously activated the Great Dao of Reincarnation, drawing even more myriad laws towards the Emperor's body.
The primordial spirit draws in tribulation, while the imperial body battles it; two sides of the same coin, like an ancient drama slowly unfolding at the infinite heights of the universe. The imperial body charges left and right among the myriad paths, shattering a law with each strike, and causing the entire universe to tremble slightly with each collision.
"Having fought against all paths, he was severely injured by the backlash from heaven and earth. Can you still bear to see the blood and Dao of such a flawless imperial expert shed?"
Yu Dao's primordial spirit spoke coldly, as if eternally present, sitting at the center of heaven, watching the rise and fall of the world.
…………
In the forbidden zone of life, countless wills watched the earth-shattering battle raging at the infinite heights of the universe.
"He actually wants to force the will of Heaven!"
"A backlash from all directions—this is tantamount to making an enemy of the entire universe! Does he really think he's the strongest throughout history, surpassing the nine Heavenly Venerables of the mythological era, and even the Primordial Supreme God, the Undying Emperor, and has reached another level?"
Each collision between the Emperor's body and the myriad tribulations unleashed blinding brilliance. The chaotic light curtain of the Samsara Wheel was violently shaken by the myriad laws, and the Emperor's body charged left and right within it, with fragments of laws scattering wherever his fists passed.
That attitude was far too domineering!
"Drawing all the Dao into his body, he used his physical body to directly confront heaven and earth. The backlash from all the Dao has exceeded the scope of a normal Dao-attaining cultivator." Deep within the Immortal Tomb, the aged voice of the Eternal Celestial Venerable resounded. "What exactly does he intend to do? Once the Azure Emperor's Great Dao dissipates, who can contend for the throne with a flawless Imperial Dao expert? Why resort to such a direct confrontation?"
"The ancients of Chaos were far too arrogant, disregarding the ironclad laws of their time, hence their laughable actions!" A Supreme Being chimed in, his tone icy. "If they were severely injured by the backlash of the myriad paths, their imperial destiny in this life would likely be greatly diminished. What good would living a second life do? Perhaps it wouldn't even last as long as we chose to sever our ties and lie low!"
"Perhaps, the Dao of Chaos Ancient is different from that of this world. Once he reaches a state of perfection, there is no way to avoid it. In the end, he is an ancient person who should have been buried in ancient history long ago!" Another Supreme Being spoke coldly.
The Supreme Being was discussing this.
In the blink of an eye, seven days and seven nights had passed in this battle against Wan Dao.
High in the universe, blood seeped from the corners of the Emperor's lips.
That was true royal blood. Royal blood was scattered across the starry sky, and crimson-gold blood beads floated in the void, each containing a boundless vitality that would make even the most supreme beings take notice.
The flawless royal blood that allows one to live a second life is enough to refine into a supreme elixir for prolonging life!
Deep within the Heavenly Heart Imprint, Yu Dao's primordial spirit remained intact, guiding all of this.
Every wound on the Emperor's body was real, and the imperial blood was real; there was no pretense whatsoever.
He performed this epic battle with utmost seriousness. From the outside, the backlash from the myriad paths had indeed damaged his imperial body and depleted his vital essence. Such an injury would have crippled any self-severed supreme being whose blood and energy were withered. However, his primordial spirit and true self never participated in this battle. His imperial body was the bait, the myriad paths were the blade, and the sound of the blade striking the bait was specifically for certain ears hidden in the shadows.
His gaze pierced through the void, sweeping across the desolate edges of the universe, those empty lands where even starlight could not reach.
Unfortunately, nothing came.
The cold, desolate gaze of the cosmic frontier never reappeared, and the covetous supreme beings that might exist in the forbidden zones of life did not choose to emerge.
The three monsters left behind by the Underworld Emperor—the Origin God, the Origin Ghost, and the Heavenly Nether Treasure—actually resisted the endless temptations of the Great Dao of Reincarnation.
"They really know how to keep their composure."
Yu was not disappointed.
These monsters of the Underworld have survived to this day, even since the era of the Great Emperor Wushi, and have managed to conceal themselves from the pursuit of the Great Accomplished Holy Body. Their caution is ingrained deep within their very being. Let alone seven days, even seven or seventy years, if they feel the time is not yet ripe, they still will not reveal themselves. Back then, when they coveted the essence and blood of the Great Accomplished Holy Body, they lay dormant in the shadows for countless years before finding an opening to strike. Such patience is something even a Supreme Being would admire.
"There's no need to wait any longer."
Yu Dao frowned. The Emperor's body abruptly withdrew, no longer entangled with the myriad tribulations. The Emperor's body, its surface covered in wounds, took a step in the starry sky and directly crashed into the heart of heaven.
Deep within the heart of heaven, the primordial spirit, which had been sitting in meditation for a long time, opened its eyes simultaneously, and the primordial spirit and the physical body merged into one in the very center of heaven.
In an instant, a burst of essence blood erupted.
The remnants of blood from the backlash of the myriad paths, along with the primordial essence forced forth by the Emperor's body, transformed into a crimson-gold rain of light that poured down from the infinite heights of the universe, spreading across the six directions and eight wastelands. Wherever the rain of light passed, the cracks left in the void by the Emperor's body during its battle with the myriad paths were smoothed out one by one, the remaining malevolent energy from the backlash of the myriad paths was dissolved layer by layer by the laws of reincarnation, and even the Heavenly Heart Mark became somewhat docile under the cleansing of the rain of light.
Countless cultivators who could sense the Dao suddenly looked up at the same moment, and an indelible mark was simultaneously imprinted into the depths of their souls!
"Someone has come to the favor of Heaven; where did this being come from?"
"The Great Dao of the Azure Emperor has not yet vanished, so how can someone be in harmony with the will of Heaven!"
"My son possesses the potential to become a great emperor. I intended to seal him away for the Golden Age predicted by our ancestor, which would be nearly ten thousand years from now! But how can someone else have already attained enlightenment? I am not reconciled!"
In the universe, countless voices rose up, some in shock, some in doubt, and some in resentment.
This scene was interpreted differently by the supreme beings.
"He succeeded, but it can't be called a great success..." a supreme being sneered.
"The backlash from all directions was too severe; even his flawless imperial body couldn't withstand it. He appeared strong, but in reality, his very essence had been damaged. Such a massive outburst of essence blood must have consumed at least tens of thousands of years of his imperial lifespan. He could have lived a full twenty thousand years in his flawless state, but how many years does he have left now? Ten thousand years? Eight thousand years?"
Deep within the Divine Ruins, a Supreme Being sneered, thoroughly pleased: "Arrogant. He could have used his flawless imperial body to forcefully open the path to immortality, becoming the greatest rival on that path. Now, instead, he's indulging in momentary bravado to forcefully align with the will of Heaven. By the time the path to immortality opens, he'll probably be in his twilight years, his blood and energy depleted, returning to his starting point."
"The path to immortality will open eight thousand years from now. At that time, he will understand the price he has paid today!"
A damp, cold voice, inaudible to anyone in the universe, rang out. The tone was slow and sluggish, each word seeming to be squeezed from mud. A faint shadow flashed across the edge of the universe, so fast that even the divine sense of a supreme being could not catch it.
"Trying to lure us into attacking? Your attempt to steal a chicken has backfired... Eight thousand years from now, we'll return to devour your blood and seize your path..."
The shadow vanished completely, leaving no trace.
After the aftershocks of the myriad backlashes dissipated, in the infinite heights of the universe, the Way of Yu finally merged completely with the Heart of Heaven.
The meaning of the cycle of reincarnation spread out from the depths of the heavens, and the four phenomena of creation, existence, annihilation, and rebirth unfolded simultaneously in the sky, covering the Big Dipper, the entire star field, and every corner of the myriad worlds.
Everyone knows it.
A new emperor has been born.
Born in an era when the Azure Emperor's Great Dao had not yet been fully realized, he broke the ironclad rules of the world and attained enlightenment in one fell swoop!
