Killing intent enveloped his physical body and drowned his soul. The black-robed Daoist felt as if he was in a deep chill as unprecedented panic filled his heart.
The second branch master also noticed it. He revealed a horrified expression and said in a trembling voice, “Dark… Emperor!”
Boom!
Immediately, there was a huge tremor outside the Daoist temple. The second branch master clearly sensed that someone was forcing their way into his Daoist temple and was rapidly approaching.
The second branch master was too familiar with this killing intent. Back then, he had fought against the Dark Emperor in the first calamity. He knew very well how powerful the Dark Emperor was. At the very least, he was invincible to him.
“Impudent! Jiang Yi, what are you doing?”
The furious shout of the Supreme Kunlun resounded throughout the Dao Sect and shocked the entire Dao Sect.
“Hmph!”
Jiang Yi snorted and did not explain.
The black-robed Daoist did not dare to escape from the Daoist temple and hastily said, “Master, you must protect me! Once this matter is exposed, the consequences will be unimaginable and you can forget about getting rid of this relationship!”
The second branch master was in pain. Even if he wanted to cover up, how could he?
How could they let it go when Jiang Yi had personally come?
Once Jiang Yi discovered this, with his personality and the power of the Jiang Clan, it would not be difficult for him to wreak havoc in the Dao Sect. In fact, if he were to alarm the Dao Ancestor…
The more he thought about it, the more despair he felt. He wished he could strangle the black-robed Daoist.
Just as the black-robed Daoist was about to speak, the Daoist temple turned into dust with a bang. A terrifying strong wind wreaked havoc and blew until their robes were about to shatter.
They subconsciously looked up and saw Jiang Yi descending from the sky with a spear in his hand.
The black-robed Daoist subconsciously waved his palm, but Jiang Yi’s speed suddenly increased. He waved his divine spear and cut off his arm.
Blood splattered!
The Eye of the Great Dao rose in the black-robed Daoist’s eyes, and despair completely enveloped his heart. The second branch master also had the same feeling.
Jiang Yi landed on the ground and grabbed the Eye of the Great Dao.
Dao Lord Nirvana and Supreme Kunlun appeared at the same time. The two of them surrounded Jiang Yi and were about to question him when their pupils suddenly dilated when they saw the Eye of the Great Dao in Jiang Yi’s hand.
When they looked at the black-robed Daoist again, their eyes were filled with anger. They wished they could hack him into pieces!
“The Jiang Clan needs an explanation!”
After Jiang Yi said that, he turned into a black light and disappeared.
“Don’t stop him!”
The Supreme Kunlun shouted angrily. His voice was so loud that everyone in the sect could hear him.
The black-robed Daoist sat paralyzed on the ground, his face ashen.
The second branch master knelt on the ground, without the bearing of a Zenith Heaven Divine Idol Immortal.
He knew that he was doomed. So what if he was a Zenith Heaven Divine Idol Immortal?
Right now, it was not the era of Zenith Heaven Immortals, but the era of Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals!
The news of a Dao Sect disciple stealing the Human Sovereign’s Eye of the Great Dao quickly spread throughout the Zenith Heaven Immortal Realm and to the surrounding worlds.
This incident had alarmed the entire Immortal Dao!
On one side was the number one clan of the Heavenly Dao, and on the other side was the number one sect of the Heavenly Dao. Yet, such a scandal had happened. The image of the Dao Sect had collapsed and the prestige of the Jiang Clan had been damaged.
Heaven Emperor Xuandao and the previous Human Sovereign, Jiang Hongchen, went to the Dao Sect together to seek justice, but they left in anger.
It was said that the Jiang Clan wanted to start a war with the Dao Sect!
The matter concerned the Eye of the Great Dao of the Human Sovereign. The Jiang Clan wanted the black-robed Daoist and the second branch master to be destroyed in body and soul in order to eliminate their hatred. However, Dao Lord Nirvana wanted to protect the second branch master. When the Dao Sect wanted to hand over the black-robed Daoist, the black-robed Daoist committed suicide. Even a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal did not have the time to stop him. Even so, this could absolve the second branch master’s mistake. Naturally, the Jiang Clan would not believe it if this matter were to spread to their ears.
Furthermore, from the Jiang Clan’s point of view, how could this be done by one person?
The conflict between the two forces intensified.
Disciples from both sides even started fighting everywhere, and the upper echelons of both sides were held back, unable to put themselves on the spot. At the same time, they suppressed their anger and could only tacitly agree.
One day.
Jiang Yi suddenly descended on the Dao Sect, raised his divine spear, and hacked open the restriction of the Dao Sect!
This time, he came with the determination to destroy the Dao Sect, triggering a war that was rarely seen in tens of millions of years.
The second calamity of the Heavenly Dao had officially begun!
As the protagonist of the first calamity, Jiang Yi had previously played the role of an evil spirit. This time, he played the role of starting the calamity. For the public, the appearance of the Dark Emperor represented the arrival of the calamity!
In the Purple Cloud Palace.
Kunlun Dao, Ten Thousand Buddha Ancestor, Di Jue, Shi Yan, and Sovereign Jing Jue sat in front of Jiang Changsheng.
Now that the calamity had begun, their expressions were very solemn. Even Sovereign Jing Jue, who was facing the calamity for the first time, was shocked.
When the Dao Sect started a war with the Jiang Clan, the murderous aura in the air suddenly exploded as if it wanted to destroy everything. He had never seen such a scene before.
“Amitabha. That disciple of the Dao Sect who snatched the Eye of the Great Dao should be related to the power of the Great Dao. How could he snatch the Eye of the Great Dao with his strength? I can’t even calculate it. Moreover, the way he died is too strange.”
The Ten Thousand Buddha Ancestor sighed. Even though he sighed, his eyes were cold and without the slightest worry.
Divine Lord Aurora snorted and said, “The Eternal Race has been destroyed for so long, so the calamity of the Great Dao should be coming soon. Why don’t we have a big calamity this time? In any case, my Aurora Divine Sect is preparing to enter the calamity.”
Kunlun Dao stroked his beard and smiled. “Since we all want to enter the calamity, why don’t we each take out some treasures to reward the existence that ends the calamity?”
No one had any objections and all of them nodded.
Sovereign Jing Jue could not help but ask, “Teacher, since we can detect that it was done by the power of the Great Dao, why don’t we directly resolve it?”
It was rumored that a mysterious expert had broken through the Great Dao in the depths of the boundless world. The Celestial Venerable, who once shocked the boundless world, spread the news in the Mental Wander Realm that it was the work of the Dao Ancestor. Sovereign Jing Jue felt that he would not lie.
Jiang Changsheng answered, “I can’t calculate the karma of the Great Dao. Even without the interference of the will of the Great Dao, the Heavenly Dao will still carry out the calamity. Moreover, the will of the Great Dao has sensed this, so it has been waiting for the calamity to erupt. If I wait another ten million years, how many Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals will there be in the Immortal Dao? At that time, it will not be so easy to control the situation.”
Wait another ten million years?
The disciples felt a chill in their hearts. They were all Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals and knew the mysteries of the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal Realm. As they followed their teacher’s train of thought, they completely understood.
It was better to resolve it as soon as possible!
Jiang Changsheng said, “The common people are suffering. During the calamity, don’t cultivate in seclusion to avoid being taken advantage of by the will of the Great Dao. You can travel around and save some mortals while you are at it. This is also a type of cultivation.”
The disciples agreed in unison. They were also curious about the calamity and the will of the Great Dao.
Shi Yan asked, “Teacher, if the Jiang Clan and the Dao Sect start the calamity, who will end it?”
They had all experienced the first calamity. Those who started the calamity were all losers. The real protagonist of the Heavenly Dao would appear later. He and Di Jue once thought they were the protagonists, but they did not expect Jiang Yi to appear.
Now that the Jiang Clan had taken the initiative to start the calamity, they admired them for daring to start a calamity even though they knew that it would not end well. Especially Jiang Yi. They could not imagine how firm his Dao heart was.
No matter how powerful Jiang Yi was, the hardships he suffered were incomparable to all the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals. Every time, he would be the villain and endure extreme torture for a long time.
Karma could not dissipate directly. It could only be washed away by being tortured or exchanged with merit.
“Times make heroes. I will not decide who will end the calamity. Everyone will rely on their own abilities. No matter who can end the calamity, they will obtain the merit of the Heavenly Dao. A mortal will immediately become a Zenith Heaven Immortal, and a Zenith Heaven Immortal will transform into a Heavenly Dao Saint.”
Jiang Changsheng said calmly. Everyone was moved by his words.
“Teacher, may I ask what is the difference between the saint realm of the Heavenly Dao and the saint realm of the Immortal Dao?”
Divine Lord Aurora hurriedly asked. His eyes were filled with anticipation, and the others had the same expression.
Jiang Changsheng smiled and said, “The saint realm of the Heavenly Dao is to verify the Dao with merit. In terms of cultivation, it is weaker than the saint realm of the Immortal Dao as the latter is about cultivating on your own, but it will not be much different. Moreover, the former can be tied to the Heavenly Dao. From now on, as long as the Heavenly Dao is not destroyed, Heavenly Dao Saints will not perish. Furthermore, it is not only within the scope of the Immortal Dao. It is the same even if you leave the Immortal Dao.”
This was something he had comprehended through the unknown power that had previously been injected into the Heavenly Dao.
He had mentioned the saint realm before. In fact, it was just that he could not surpass the Primordial Chaos Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal Realm, so he used the Heavenly Dao Realm as a buffer.
Different from his previous realm, even the powerful Kunlun Dao felt that he was about to reach the end after reaching the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal Realm. If he could live and die with the Heavenly Dao, it would be the pinnacle of the Immortal Dao.
After all, they were well aware that the so-called Heavenly Dao was their teacher’s will, but they did not dare to say it out loud.
“After the calamity ends, I will impart the Primordial Chaos Method and guide all Zenith Heaven cultivators to find the path to the Immortal Saint Realm. Alright, I will first preach the Great Dao to you today to increase your perception of the will of the Great Dao so that it will be easier to assist the Heavenly Dao in the calamity.”
After Jiang Changsheng finished speaking, he began to preach without waiting for the disciples to speak.
After the war between the Dao Sect and the Jiang Clan, the various forces of the Immortal Dao realized that the Dao Ancestor and the Heavenly Court did not interfere. They understood that the calamity had begun and more and more immortal cultivators began to enter the calamity. Entering the calamity was not only for killing, but also for opportunities. In the calamity, countless people were killed or injured and the treasures that fell might very well become ownerless. How could they not be tempted?
The Buddhist Sect went to mediate the situation on account of the suffering of all beings. In the end, they were besieged by the Dao Sect and the Jiang Clan and had no choice but to enter the calamity.
After the Buddhist Sect entered the calamity, the Demon Race was also forced to enter the calamity. The reason was that there were many demons in the Buddha Dao. However, when the number of demons entering the calamity reached a certain extent, the Demon Sovereign had no choice but to interfere. Naturally, it was not a good thing for him to interfere, so he was also involved in the calamity.
As soon as the Demon Race entered the calamity, so did the Human Race. The Eye of the Great Dao had been dug out of the Human Sovereign. Even though it had been returned, how could they tolerate the humiliation?
After he rested for hundreds of years, he launched an attack on the Dao Sect.
For a moment, more and more sects and races entered the calamity and stood either on the side of the Dao Sect or the Jiang Clan.
As the number one merit sect, the disciples of the Dao Sect traveled the world and preached Dao everywhere to form good karma. Their connections far exceeded the Jiang Clan.
Even though the Jiang Clan’s connections were far inferior to the Dao Sect, they were still part of the Dao Ancestor’s bloodline. Many people felt that the Jiang Clan could not lose, so they supported them.
Ever since Jiang Yi attacked the Dao Sect, less than a thousand years had passed. The entire Zenith Heaven Immortal Realm was covered in flames of war, and the common mortals were plunged into misery and suffering. The surrounding worlds began to be affected, and even the void was filled with scenes of immortal cultivators fighting.
The karma of the Heavenly Dao gradually entered the bodies of everyone, making them more prone to lashing out and going to the extreme. The calamity was already irreversible.
