Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree-Chapter 1230 - 436: Doing Subtraction to Become Empty, Great Freedom Extreme Intent

Fu Dao didn't expect Qi Tian's attitude to be so steadfast.

And the one Qi Tian was protecting wasn't the Netherworld, but Ji Jingqiu alone!

Fu Dao frowned and said, "Do you know what you're saying?"

Binding one person to one realm, in Fu Dao's eyes, was an extremely laughable notion.

For the vast realms, nothing is irreplaceable.

Qi Tian didn't say much, pointing a finger, as if a light flicked on, then ten thousand lights twinkled, emanating the taste of worldly phenomena.

Feeling the change in the Dao rules, Fu Dao's expression became heavy; Qi Tian was actually altering the Dao of this world!

As top-grade Heavenly Monarchs, Fu Dao had no reason to shy away, especially since Qi Tian seemed to have improved again, which intrigued Fu Dao even more.

...

In the distant starry sky.

Sound seemed to vanish, the world turned silent, the manifested stars of the Dao shattered, falling like meteors, as if a suffocating and hair-raising cosmic disaster.

Zhang Yuan, by his own power, forcibly mobilized the stars in the surrounding galaxies, echoing with stars billions upon billions of miles away,

Clang!

The Five-Colored Divine Light transformed into the Supreme Divine Sword, soaring into the sky, this sword like a canvas, erasing everything in the starry sky before it!

Signs of a Dao struggle had already emerged between the two, to see whose sword was sharper, Kong Xiao's or Zhang Yuan's inexhaustible stars.

At this moment, a white line suddenly appeared in the starry sky, followed by a blinding white light, cold glow flickering, spanning the void, like it shot from the depths of the universe, remarkably the Supreme Tribulation Flying Saber of the Heavenly Cutting Sect!

The Flying Saber folded space, merging with the essence of the omnipresent, even if they were separated by light-years, it was but a moment, a saber shot forth, constantly pressing and slicing apart, the entire starry sky was rent asunder!

In an instant, Kong Xiao, who was previously dominant, found himself in a life-and-death crisis!

On the main battlefield being restrained by Zhang Yuan, Tian Yan from the Heavenly Cutting Sect struck with a deadly technique, a single Flying Saber turned space into inches, its momentum vast and magnificent, containing Dao Power, directly shattering everything centered around Kong Xiao in the nearby star domain!

Under this sword intent and Zhang Yuan's pressure, Kong Xiao's spirit and mind became one, the flicker of Wisdom Light in his mind like oil on fire, blossomed in radiant brilliance, elevated to the extreme, surprisingly stirring the pervasive power of the Nether Sea!

This abrupt change shocked Kong Xiao too.

"Tian Yan!"

A reprimanding voice echoed in the starry sky, containing a warning, not from Kong Xiao, but from Zhang Yuan.

In a duel between top-tier Heavenly Monarchs, there's no room for others to intervene.

Zhang Yuan didn't think he needed Tian Yan's intervention in his duel with Kong Xiao.

"Alright, alright, let's say I meant well but ended up making things worse."

Tian Yan from afar spoke in a casual and relaxed manner, with a faint smile, walking slowly, looking at Kong Xiao like eyeing prey.

Around him, a saber like a swimming fish circled and spun, slicing everything nearby!

Zhang Yuan withdrew his hand, standing firm without pursuing, his gaze keen and sharp.

Tian Yan couldn't help but shake his head and said, "When did you become so unyielding, Taoist Friend? Not to mention, a Heavenly Monarch of your sect and the Returning to Truth Temple remained entirely intact."

Hearing these words, Zhang Yuan's gaze became profound.

"Why don't we join forces to take down Kong Xiao, and I'll leave Ji Jingqiu to you, Taoist Friend?" Tian Yan smiled, "After all, I'm not that fond of Shi Dao; if he's dead, he's dead, no one to contest the position of Heavenly Venerable with me."

Zhang Yuan looked deeply at him and said, "You, as a Heavenly Monarch, still want to take the well-trodden path of your sect?"

The Eighth Realm Barrier has stopped countless Heavenly Kings.

The difficulty of this pass lies not only in itself but also in the restriction of the Heavenly Venerate Fruit Position.

The essence of the Dao Lineage in each sect is the Heavenly Venerate Fruit Position.

Even in the Transcendence Gate, a Heavenly Venerate Fruit Position is a rare commodity; the reason all the Heavenly Kings are willing to participate in expansion battles is to fight for a Fruit Position in the Outer Realm.

But this has nothing to do with them.

The true meaning of a Heavenly Monarch is to, by oneself, create something new from nothing, by using Heaven Opening Divine Power, forcibly opening a new Heavenly Venerate Fruit Position, free from any restrictions.

This Dao path, although slower compared to the established Dao Lineage of each sect, has no upper limit, especially for those top-tier Heavenly Monarchs who have developed complete Hongmeng Divine Power, theoretically capable of reaching the Supreme True Saint level!

But now, Tian Yan, who has developed complete Hongmeng Divine Power, indicates he desires to follow the old path of the sect...

Tian Yan, seemingly smiling, said, "If your sect's main lineage offers a vacancy, would you take it, or not, Taoist Friend?"

Zhang Yuan's pupils contracted sharply; has another vacancy appeared under the leadership of the Heavenly Cutting Sect?

No wonder...

The Dao Lineage's Heavenly Venerate Fruit Position has an upper limit, some stop at Heavenly Venerate, Dao Ancestor, and at best, True Saint.

However, the main lineage's Fruit Position of each sect unerringly leads to the pathway of the Supreme True Saint!

Moreover, once entering this path, one immediately becomes one of the actual rulers of each Transcendence Gate, no longer a "young junior."

Zhang Yuan sighed and said, "Lucky guy."

This kind of position vacancy indicates only one possibility...

Someone in the main lineage of the Heavenly Cutting Sect has fallen!

Lately, there's been no news of the Heavenly Cutting Sect suffering losses during large-scale external expansions, which means the most likely scenario is—someone in the Heavenly Cutting Sect tried and failed to transcend again?

Zhang Yuan steadied his thoughts, looking at the seemingly dazed Kong Xiao not far away, and spoke in a deep voice:

"I know you've always looked down on Kong Xiao, the Innate Spiritual Being. I'll help you take down Kong Xiao; leave Ji Jingqiu to me."

"Taoist Friend Zhang is a sensible person." Tian Yan's smile was radiant.
