Chapter 147: Chapter 120: The Terrifying Dao Calamity
The Supreme undergoing the Dao Calamity?
Yang Ji and Li Changxiao were shocked, exchanged a glance, and immediately soared into the air, transforming into two streaks of light, flying toward the Supreme Palace.
"Supreme!" the two called out as they approached.
Inside the great hall, the Supreme Bai Mei sat cross-legged, his wide white robe moving without wind, his white beard fluttering.
Feeling their arrival, he suddenly opened his eyes, shooting out two sharp beams.
Supreme Bai Mei no longer suppressed his realm and released a strand of Great Dao Principle he had comprehended, transforming it into a "wind"-shaped Dao Rune that manifested.
An aura of the Dao instantly spread, and above Supreme Bai Mei's head, at a height of thirty feet, clouds gathered and spacetime twisted. In an instant, a black hole about thirty feet in diameter formed.
The black hole slowly rotated, driving endless space to fracture, time within it was in disarray, a vast void, everything turned into an obscure Chaos.
A grand, vast, ancient, and distant aura slowly gushed out from the black hole, spreading infinite Dao essences throughout the vast hall.
There were no flashes of lightning, no thunder claps, just the obscure Chaos spinning, unexpectedly opening a gateway to the Land of Origin.
Above Supreme Bai Mei's head, the sky was now clear, the obscure Chaos gone, replaced by a sky made of a grid woven from colorful threads.
Yang Ji was shocked to find that those threads were all different Laws of the Dao, the Three Thousand Primordial Daos displayed in their most primitive forms, thus revealing themselves above Supreme Bai Mei's head, allowing him to reach out and grasp them.
This was madness.
No wonder it's said that the Void Refinement Realm is the first realm that defies heaven and changes one's fate. If one could reach out and grasp all Three Thousand Grand Daos, wouldn't that make one an ancestor on the spot?
Three Thousand Grand Daos, billions of Dao Principles, each one radiating infinite Dao essences, carrying the primordial aura of the ancient world from its inception.
Each strand contained endless energy, profound mysteries, majestic and vast, each seeming capable of suppressing an entire world.
"Chang Xiao, Xiao Ji! Once you successfully comprehend a trace of the Great Dao Principle and manifest the first principle you grasp, you will be able to open the gateway to the Land of Origin.
The source of the Three Thousand Grand Daos lies in the Land of Origin," the Supreme Bai Mei suddenly stood up, his white hair over his shoulders, looking up at the gateway above, a Dao Principle circulating in his palm, roaring with a "wind" shape. "The Great Dao I've comprehended is wind, so I will seize the Principle of Wind."
"Go!"
Supreme Bai Mei suddenly shouted, condensing a "wind" character in his hand and fiercely striking towards the Land of Origin.
As the "wind" character was thrown, suddenly, a whistling wind roared. The wind character transformed into a thirty-foot Wind Dragon with flailing claws, roaring as it rushed into the Land of Origin.
Then it transformed again, growing to a thousand feet in size. The dragon roared, its dragon might was overwhelming, emitting endless oppressive aura.
This colossal Wind Dragon, beneath its five claws, were hundred-foot tornadoes capable of tearing apart space and shattering great mountains, spinning wildly like a dragon drawing water, eager to grasp the Principle of Wind in the Land of Origin.
"My goodness, this Void Refinement is truly a being of another level, too terrifying. Supreme Bai Mei has only comprehended a trace of the Great Dao Principle, and its simple manifestation holds such power. If he were to practice a wind-attribute Divine Skill, powered by the Principle of Wind, that power is simply unimaginable," the Buddha Child exclaimed in awe.
"This realm touches the Great Dao, naturally it's extraordinary," Yang Ji felt a significant shock in his heart, the Principle truly worthy of being the source of heaven and earth, casually thrown and yet so powerful.
Just one strand, and if there were a hundred, a thousand, ten thousand, wouldn't that destroy the heavens and shatter the world?
At this moment, everyone was on edge, just as they thought the Wind Dragon might succeed in seizing the Wind Origin.
Suddenly, a massive hand emerged from the depths of the Land of Origin and struck the body of the Wind Dragon. The dragon let out a whine and instantly dissipated into nothingness.
Then, a figure emerged from the depths, taking heavy steps forward. He was wide and plump, with white hair and a white beard, looking exactly like Supreme Bai Mei.
However, his gaze was very cold, extremely cold, devoid of any feeling. This coldness was not borne out of hatred but rather the "rule" of the Dao being heartless.
As this person appeared, everyone felt a chill in their hearts, as if their souls were seized, their breathing becoming labored.
"Human-shaped Dao Calamity!" Supreme Bai Mei's pupils contracted, his expression exceedingly grave. Facing the Dao Calamity, his chest heaved and sweat covered his cheeks, but his plump figure remained steadfast, like a rock, with an indomitable spirit.
"Chang Xiao, Xiao Ji! Watch closely!" Supreme Bai Mei roared, forming another "wind" character, and on his own, entered the gateway to the Land of Origin, ready to fight the Dao Calamity, to win Yang Ji and Li Changxiao a chance to see the true strength of the Dao Calamity.
The Dao Calamity's eyes glinted coldly, feeling provoked by Supreme Bai Mei's action, for no one dares to steal the Dao.
"Die!"
The human-shaped Dao Calamity simply uttered the word indifferently, but took no action.
"Huh?"
Supreme Bai Mei paused, not understanding why, but he did not stop; on the contrary, he moved faster, just as he was about to unleash the "wind" character.
But suddenly.
He began to look agonized.
Within his body, countless dense, white threads abruptly appeared, countless wind Dao Runes explosively burst forth, fiercely erupting from his body, instantly grinding his flesh and Primordial Spirit into powder.
"How is this possible?"
Bai Mei, the Supreme, let out an incredulous growl as he lingered on the threshold of death.
Instant kill!
There was no resistance to the instant kill, which was too shocking.
"Supreme!" Li Changxiao's expression tightened.
"Did Bai Mei, the Supreme, die?" Buddha Child exclaimed in shock.
"The Law Follows the Word!" Yang Ji's heart trembled when he saw the message display of "The Law Follows the Word" as the Dao Calamity uttered the word "die".
Dao Calamity is the incarnation of the Great Dao, casually speaking mystical Dao Techniques evolved from its words, which was too terrifying.
Boom!
Bai Mei, the Supreme, had not even a hint of resistance and died instantly, his flesh particles and soul fragments were expelled from the Land of Origin.
An invisible Great Dao force enveloped them, reassembled them in the outer world, and manifested anew. Only on m v|le|mp|yr
"Ah!" The reborn Bai Mei, the Supreme, startled, his forehead covered in a cold sweat, suddenly looked at the humanoid Dao Calamity in the Land of Origin, his eyes filled with shock as the strike had left a very deep impression on him.
"Ah? Bai Mei, the Supreme, is alive again?" Buddha Child said in surprise.
He glanced at Bai Mei, the Supreme and then at the Land of Origin, suddenly popping out from his sleeve and excitedly said, "Sect Leader, since encountering the Dao Calamity is not fatal, why not go in and experience it firsthand?"
"You will die if you go in!" Yang Ji gazed at the origin portal and said solemnly, "This is a gateway opened by the Supreme with the Dao Principles he comprehended, a chance that belongs only to him. If you go in, you will be deemed a blasphemer rather than one undergoing tribulation, and the Great Dao will mercilessly obliterate you. If you don't believe it, you can go in and try."
"Ah?" Buddha Child trembled, his little foot that had stepped out stopped in place, and he couldn't help but twitch at the corner of his eyes.
"Supreme, are you all right?" Li Changxiao approached with concern.
"I'm fine!" Bai Mei, the Supreme stood up and, watching the slowly closing gateway of the origin, showed a look of regret, "Unfortunately, I wanted you to witness the power of the Dao Calamity, but I couldn't even withstand a single move."
"Supreme, we now have a clear understanding," Yang Ji exchanged glances with Li Changxiao, and their hearts couldn't help but sink.
Dao Calamity, being an embodiment of the Great Dao, was too terrifying; every word and action was filled with the power of the Great Dao.
Yang Ji couldn't even imagine how powerful one must be to slay the Dao Calamity, no wonder even True Disciples like Leng Changfeng and Wu Futu, who possessed great fortunes, only had an eighty percent assurance. It was truly difficult.
Facing the Dao Calamity, he felt a sense of despair as if facing Mahayana, a suffocating feeling of having no chance at all, as an ant facing a giant. The gap was unimaginable.
At the same time, he once again understood the state of mind of Wang Tianli, the Dao Child.
Facing such a terrifying Dao Calamity, it was true that only by giving it your all might there be a glimmer of hope; no wonder he wouldn't miss any opportunity that might enhance his strength. The Dao Calamity was just too formidable.
At the same time, he also felt again the terror of Wang Tianli. How strong would one have to be to slay three Dao Calamities?
Three Dao Calamities emerging together, what a horrifying spectacle that would be?
No wonder there are a million disciples in Wuji Dao Sect, a thousand True Disciples, yet only ten Dao Children, merely ten.
No wonder Dao Children are called Junior Immortal Kings, which is indeed a thought-provoking title.
Seeing Yang Ji's serious expression and his gaze lost in thought, Buddha Child suddenly jumped up and encouraged, "Sect Leader, don't lose heart, your aptitude is astonishing, and you just lack a foundation. If others can become Dao Children, why can't you? What you lack is nothing more than Magical Treasures and techniques. The world is vast with many inheritances.
If we travel across the four seas, others can find the heritage of the Dao, why can't we try?"
"Lose heart? That's not the case," Yang Ji shook his head, just thinking about how to slay the Dao Calamity.
He aimed to achieve Longevity and immortality, how could he be intimidated by the Dao Calamity? He was just contemplating what level he needed to reach in order to slay it.
However, the road was long, and there was always hope if one walked step by step.
He was currently only at the Nascent Soul stage, not even reached Divinity Transformation, and there were thousands of years to build his foundation.
He believed that one day he too would reach that level.
Yang Ji collected his thoughts and then said to Bai Mei, the Supreme, "Congratulations to the Supreme for successfully hearing the Dao, reaching Void Refining, and entering a new domain."
"Heh heh, I'm also very pleased to have made the breakthrough," Bai Mei, the Supreme laughed.
"By the way, Supreme, there is something I need to tell you. Those Outer Sect Disciples, Wu Xilong and Fan Haihong, and the Core Disciple, Xing Dao, are in collusion with the Heavenly Demon," Yang Ji suddenly said.
"They are in collusion with the Heavenly Demon?" Bai Mei, the Supreme's smile faded, and his expression couldn't help but change.
"Brother, is this true?" Li Changxiao asked with a serious tone.
"Mhm!" Yang Ji nodded earnestly.
"So that's why those three rose to prominence so suddenly, with the shadow of the Heavenly Demon behind them," Bai Mei, the Supreme spoke with a dark expression.
"It's just unclear how strong the Heavenly Demon behind them is," Li Changxiao pondered; they did not doubt Yang Ji's words.
The three exchanged a glance and immediately left the great hall together.
