Ye Zhan had also obtained the power of the Great Dao. On the surface, he seemed to have just reached the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal Realm, but his strength value had surpassed most of them.
Jiang Changsheng calmly watched the battle and calculated the direction of the calamity.
In the calamity, there would be an existence that could withstand the karma of heaven and earth, and there would also be an existence that could resolve the karma of heaven and earth. Jiang Changsheng called them the children of the calamity.
The children of the calamity were born in the calamity. The birth here did not refer to their actual birth, but the birth of their fate. At the beginning of the calamity, the fate of the children of the calamity would not appear. Only when the calamity reached its peak would the fate of the children of the calamity appear.
Ye Zhan was one of the children of the calamity, and his fate was forming.
Both of them accepted the power of the Great Dao, but Jiang Yi wanted to scheme against the power of the Great Dao while Ye Zhan purely thirsted for power. He watched the rise of the Immortal Dao, but he could not keep up with the pace of the Dao Ancestor. He did not catch up to the beginning of the Zenith Heaven Era. When he became a Zenith Heaven Immortal, the Zenith Heaven Era had already reached a higher realm.
He had never been able to catch up to the top echelons of the Immortal Dao. Therefore, in the face of the bewitchment of the Great Dao, he accepted it without hesitation. Even if he had guessed that it was a scheme, he still had to give it a try.
Most of the people who were bewitched by the power of the Great Dao had a trace of fantasy in their hearts. They felt that they might be able to replace the Great Dao as long as they were strong enough.
Jiang Changsheng had calculated everything about Ye Zhan, but he was not angry or sighing. These were all his choices, and he would not protect everyone he knew.
He tried to deduce Ye Zhan’s opponent.
Unfortunately, the other side was not ready yet.
However, he calculated that Ye Zhan would succeed in challenging the Heavenly Court this time and thus became famous, pushing the calamity to another peak.
Hell that usually did not have a sense of presence would involve itself in the calamity for the first time!
Furthermore, not only would they participate, but they would also bear a huge amount of karma. After all, the karma of Hell also needed to be eliminated.
For a long time, because souls could be reborn, souls that entered Hell could not necessarily be reincarnated. They would either become vengeful souls that would be consigned to eternal damnation or be obliterated by the eighteen layers of hell. Even so, there were too many souls in Hell, and the accumulated resentment made the Lord of Hell feel that something was amiss. Therefore, he chose to enter the calamity.
The Head of Punishment was afraid that uncontrollable evil creatures would be born in Hell. After all, the Yellow Springs itself contained good fortune.
In the face of the Heavenly Court’s formation, Ye Zhan released a powerful aura that shocked the myriad worlds of the Immortal Dao.
In less than half an incense stick of time, Ye Zhan broke the formation. He charged into the Heavenly Court and was besieged by countless Heavenly Soldiers and Generals. Even the four Heavenly Lords took action.
After so many years of development, the Heavenly Court had a strong foundation. Disciples of the various merit sects had settled in, and they were all disciples of extremely high seniority. After the calamity began, they still stayed in the Heavenly Court. When Ye Zhan attacked, they understood that the Heavenly Court had entered the calamity.
In the Zenith Heaven Immortal Realm, countless people on the battlefield looked up. In their vision, the sky had changed color.
Unknowingly, the karma between heaven and earth began to change and the growth speed increased.
The first child of the calamity was born!
While the calamity of the Immortal Dao was advancing, a huge war was happening on the other side of the void, a war between orthodoxies.
The void had collapsed and space had shattered. Countless spacetimes of different dimensions were reflected in the shattered space, making it look extremely distorted and psychedelic.
A figure appeared out of thin air. His entire body was pitch-black, as if he was wearing black armor. His face was cold and stern, and there was a black killing intent between his brows. His eyes looked like those of snakes, and the horns on his head were like a crown. Three dark flames burned on his head, similar to a long scarf.
He held a long ax in his hand. The edge of the ax was branded with the mark of the Great Dao. It twisted vaguely and vividly.
“Hmph, it’s finally over. From now on, Miracle no longer exists!”
He snorted. He was the Devil Venerable from Luo Dao.
When Luo Dao passed by the Immortal Dao, he intended to destroy it. Unfortunately, the Immortal Dao escaped.
The murderous aura around the Devil Venerable became stronger and stronger. Gradually, it enveloped his main body, making him look even more mysterious.
In the depths of the void, a huge skull flew over. It looked like a cross between the skull of a human and an ape. It quickly came behind the Devil Venerable. In front of it, the mighty figure of the Devil Venerable seemed as insignificant as an ant.
“Devil Venerable, those guys from the Great Dao Divine Court can’t sit still any longer. Common People Heavens attacked the Immortal Dao, and Cangtian was defeated by the Dao Ancestor. Common People Heavens was frightened away and went back to hide. Right now, the Great Dao Divine Court needs a stronger force to restrain the Dao Ancestor.”
The skull spoke with a helpless tone.
The Devil Venerable sneered and said, “Why? Can’t the Great Dao Divine Court take action?”
At the mention of the Great Dao Divine Court, his tone was dissatisfied.
The skull answered, “The Dao Ancestor possesses a special power that can destroy the Eternal Race. This power might threaten the supreme experts of the Great Dao Divine Court. After all, they come from the same source as the Great Dao.”
“Is this also the Dao Lord’s idea?”
“Yes, you have made outstanding contributions and your strength is ranked at the top among the Devil Venerables of Luo Dao. If you can restrain the Dao Ancestor and assist the Great Dao Divine Court in annihilating the Immortal Dao, you will have contributed greatly to the Great Dao and you might be able to inherit the position of the Dao Lord in the future.”
The skull spoke in an extremely calm tone without any emotion.
The Devil Venerable glanced at it and coldly said, “We have known each other for at least tens of billions of years. Do you think I have hope?”
The skull was silent.
The Devil Venerable snorted and said, “I will not send myself to my death. The Eternal Race has been destroyed and Common People Heavens has been repelled. The power of the Dao Ancestor has surpassed me. At the very least, I am not confident in taking him down. The Great Dao Divine Court claims to represent the Great Dao, so why don’t we incite the wrath of the Great Dao to punish the Immortal Dao? Could it be that the so-called representing the Great Dao is just a lie?”
The skull remained silent and did not persuade him again.
The Devil Venerable stepped forward and said, “Serve me. Right now, the Immortal Dao is restraining the Great Dao Divine Court. The Dao Lord is obsessed with the Great Dao. In the end, Luo Dao is only a pawn of the Great Dao. Why don’t you create a great order with me that has never been seen before?”
When the skull heard that, he could not help but ask, “Nonsense. Have you forgotten what happens to traitors?”
“That’s because they are not strong enough. Five Devil Venerables will follow me, and the inheritance of Miracle is in my hands. If you don’t fight for it, you will become a sacrifice of the Great Dao Divine Court sooner or later.” The Devil Venerable snorted, his words filled with disdain.
As soon as he finished speaking, terrifying demonic shadows appeared from all directions in the broken void. The skull swept across them and was shocked.
“Why are there five of them… You…”
The skull asked in a trembling voice, unable to conceal its fear.
The Devil Venerable said proudly, “Do you think I just came up with this idea? When the Dao Lord chose to join the Great Dao Divine Court, I already began to prepare.”
The skull was silent.
After a long time.
It sighed and said, “In that case, I will accompany you and see if you can establish the great order you mentioned.”
“Coincidentally, I will need the help of the devils in your hands.”
“Alright!”
In the boundless world, there were endless battles. The Immortal Dao was not the protagonist yet. When the Immortal Dao was in the vortex of the calamity, the conflicts between various orthodoxies did not stop. At any time, orthodoxies could be destroyed and created.
Ever since Common People Heavens was repelled, no orthodoxy dared to scheme against the Immortal Dao. And, the range of activity of immortal cultivators was still expanding. Not every immortal cultivator wanted to participate in the war. Many immortal cultivators chose to escape and return after the calamity ended. However, no matter where they went, they would be schemed against by other immortal cultivators and chased by their enemies. As a result, the calamity of the Immortal Dao covered more and more void domains. This also led to the spread of the immortal cultivation techniques, luring more people to step onto the Immortal Dao.
After Ye Zhan wreaked havoc in the Heavenly Court and caused heavy losses, he was jointly suppressed by five Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals. However, in less than five thousand years, he was rescued by a group of mysterious experts and established the War Sect in the Zenith Heaven Immortal Realm.
He fought alone in the Heavenly Court without losing. Ye Zhan had already become famous after that battle. He founded the War Sect and attracted countless immortal cultivators to join. Most of them did not have powerful backing or their sect had been destroyed. They were drifting in the Immortal Dao. Now that the War Sect had appeared out of nowhere, they naturally wanted to join, regardless of their background or roots.
The idea of the War Sect was to fight for themselves. Anyone with battle intent could join. Regardless of their realm or race, they could obtain Ye Zhan’s technique inheritance or even the Great Dao.
The establishment of the War Sect did not attract the attention of the large sects. It was too late to establish a sect!
The first hurdle of the War Sect was not the Heavenly Court, but the Jiang Clan.
If they were to casually accept disciples, it would attract a lot of hatred. Other sects would not dare to provoke Ye Zhan easily, but the Jiang Clan was not afraid. Some of their enemies had also joined the War Sect. Coupled with the grudge between Ye Zhan and the Heavenly Court, the Jiang Clan mobilized their entire race to launch a surprise attack on the War Sect with the intention of flattening it.
In this battle, Jiang Wanxuan became famous, and this prodigy could actually fight Ye Zhan alone.
Jiang Wanxuan’s talents made Ye Zhan jealous, and the war between the two sides became increasingly cruel.
Jiang Changsheng observed everything and was satisfied with the talent of the Jiang Clan.
The talents of the prodigies of the Jiang Clan were not as simple as the power of the Great Dao. They had inherited the Daos of the Heavenly Dao. However, some prodigies had also possessed the power of the Great Dao, such as Jiang Wanxuan.
As he looked, Jiang Changsheng seemed to have sensed something and looked into the sky.
A huge skull appeared in the darkness at the edge of the Immortal Dao. It was staring at the Immortal Dao. Somehow, Jiang Changsheng felt that the other party wanted to see him.
After hesitating for a moment, Jiang Changsheng sent his voice over.
“Why have you come?”
In the darkness, Jiang Changsheng’s indifferent voice sounded.
The skull said, “I am Taiyuan Primordial Demon. Greetings, Dao Ancestor. I am here to cooperate with you, but I am afraid of alerting the power of the Great Dao. Therefore, I am waiting here. I am wrapped in a special karma and the power of the Great Dao cannot detect me. Dao Ancestor, please rest assured.”
Jiang Changsheng had never heard of Taiyuan Primordial Demon, so he did not answer immediately.
Taiyuan Primordial Demon followed and said, “Those existences that call themselves the Great Dao are from the Great Dao Divine Court. They have indeed grasped the power of the origin of the Great Dao and are immortal and indestructible, but they are not the true will of the Great Dao. My lord is the Primordial Devil Venerable and is currently the Devil Venerable of Luo Dao. He has already established his own Great Dao Devil Race. My lord is willing to join hands with the Dao Ancestor to overthrow the Great Dao Divine Court. The existence of the Great Dao Divine Court restricts the development of orthodoxies and races. Unless you reach the Dao Intent Lord Realm, you will never be able to escape their control. My lord has long hated the structure of the boundless world.”
Jiang Changsheng was somewhat surprised. He originally thought that he would become enemies with the entire boundless world, but he did not expect there to be a force willing to help him, and it was even from Luo Dao.
