Chapter 585 [Flames Extinguished, Four Tribulations]

They believed the Great Daoist Venerable was truly omnipotent, that he could shelter them as they crossed the Great Tribulation.

Without exception, after experiencing the changes brought by the Great Daoist Venerable’s ’omnipotence,’ these beings who came into contact with the Primordial Sect no longer hesitated.

They abandoned everything they once were, chose to fall into darkness, and initiated one bloody turmoil after another throughout the Hongyuan Heavenly Domains.

Many Great Emperors and All Heavens Emperors had long since exhausted their potential.

They believed it was impossible for them to ever reach new heights in this lifetime.

But after joining the Primordial Sect, the impossible was suddenly within their grasp!

To quickly accumulate Sacrificial Points and exchange them for a path forward on the Great Dao, most Great Emperors and All Heavens Emperors would rapidly transform into Evil Dragons after joining the Primordial Sect.

They would return with benevolent smiles, only to reveal their ferocious, bloody fangs and perform blood sacrifices upon their homelands and their lineages!

With Mountain and Sea pressing in from the outside and the Primordial Sect causing chaos from within, coupled with some unscrupulous forces stirring up trouble...

The sixth Great Tribulation had not yet officially begun, but the Hongyuan All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds was already in a precarious state. Endless chaos erupted, and the Tribulation Qi it generated rapidly threw the Great Dao into disarray, spreading darkness and grief everywhere.

Amidst the chaos, treacherous undercurrents surged everywhere.

Forces like the Mountain and Sea Realm, Heng Ancestor, and the Heavenly Domain Lords who held grudges against Wu Dao were all searching for him day and night.

But this was destined to be a fruitless effort.

Things were different now.

The Wu Dao of today controlled an Incomplete Dao Artifact. The Burning Chaos Furnace, by its very nature as a Dao Artifact, couldn’t have been so easily crippled in that battle.

Furthermore, his Primordial Title had not been extinguished.

This was enough to prove that Wu Dao had definitely relied on the Burning Chaos Furnace after the battle to completely conceal his own information and karma, hiding himself away in some unknown corner of existence.

The various powers’ speculations were not wrong.

Wu Dao had indeed gone into hiding.

「Two months after the great battle ended.」

He had never left Shanhai Pass.

To be precise, the Nine Heavens Pass!

He was lying dormant right under the noses of both Hongyuan and Mountain and Sea, silently observing everything.

Beneath the Mountain and Sea Great Wall.

In the Buzhou Great Abyss that transversely cut across the Eighth and Ninth Celestial Passes.

The dark, silent void was boundless.

In a certain region.

Beyond the swamp layer of the All Heavens Emperors.

And past the Primordial Mud Layer.

Lay the very bottom of the Buzhou Abyss.

An absolute, taboo domain of silent void beneath the Dao, a place that not even those at the Extreme Primordial Chaos could withstand reaching.

In the pure, flawless darkness, even the abyssal labyrinth no longer existed.

It was like the state of utter nothingness before the heavens and earth first opened, with only the extreme, supreme suppressive field of Buzhou Mountain revolving around its root vein.

In such an extreme field, forget Primordial Chaos beings—even an Extreme Primordial Chaos expert who strayed into its outer layer would be instantly suppressed into silent nothingness.

And yet, within this very forbidden zone, there inexplicably floated a Great Dao Divine Fire Furnace—its body the color of azure glaze.

Although its body was riddled with horrifying cracks that were constantly healing and tearing open again, its might was still terrifying. It had yet to be extinguished by the ultimate suppressive power of the Buzhou Abyss.

Inside the Burning Chaos Furnace.

The once-surging and violent Chaos Essence Fire, layer upon layer of black seas of flame, had now all cooled and died out.

Furthermore, the structural veins of its energy field had been pierced through. Just like the damaged furnace body, they constantly tried to repair and heal themselves, only to be torn open again the next moment by the Power of Annihilation left behind by the Great Dao Celestial Punishment.

Past the ruined region of Chaos Essence Fire, the vast space-time within the Burning Chaos Furnace finally began to grow hot and scorching again.

WHOOSH~

Below the boundary between desolation and incandescence.

A sea of fire even darker than the Abyss!

Its source was a minuscule wisp of Supreme Burning Dao Fire gushing forth from a tiny crack opened in the core origin field of the Burning Chaos Furnace.

Wu Dao, who had been missing for two months, was now within that abyssal sea of fire formed by the wisp of Burning Dao Fire, undergoing the most critical transformation of his life.

From Three Tribulations to Four Tribulations!

From an All Heavens Great Emperor to a Primordial Giant!

"Father God, the Dao Burning Furnace’s field has been constructed. We can begin at any time."

Outside the crack in the Dao Burning Furnace’s origin.

Little Star Mother was controlling a Peak Primordial Soldier she had plundered from the Dragon Hunting Tower, prying open a tiny crack as if pulling a sluice gate to release the Burning Dao Fire.

This wisp of Burning Dao Fire had been infinitely diluted by a Primordial Emperor Weapon to create the fiery sea of Wu Dao’s Cultivation Paradise. Otherwise, in his current state, he would be fundamentally unable to withstand the refining power of the Burning Dao Fire.

At the same time, Little Star Mother was also using this sea of fire to construct a pressurizing field, similar in function to an Extreme Dao Reactor, to help Wu Dao rapidly shred his Three Tribulation Dao Particles.

This would allow him to enter the Dao Creation Domain, shatter the shackles of the Three Tribulations, and pass the Fourth Tribulation to become a higher form of civilization.

HUMMM—

Inside the Dao Burning Reactor.

An ethereal ocean of Dao Particles billowed and surged.

Wu Dao had already willingly broken himself down to the core microscopic state of Three Tribulation Dao Particles.

But at this stage, shredding the Primordial Magnetic force that held the structure of the Three Tribulation Dao Particles together became exceptionally difficult, to say nothing of the core Three Tribulations Dao Strings.

Without external assistance, the shredding process alone would cost him an immense amount of time.

And right now, time was what he lacked the most; he naturally couldn’t afford to waste a single moment.

’Let’s begin!’

Wu Dao’s consciousness was indifferent and calm. It was as if he weren’t the one about to undergo a nirvanic rebirth of life and death, his composure chillingly serene.

From the Initial Tribulation to the Three Tribulations, with every new tribulation he faced on the Primordial Magnetism Path, the difficulty would increase exponentially in every aspect.

The ’competitor’ Daoist Masters Wu Dao faced also grew increasingly terrifying. When he was undergoing the Three Tribulations, numerous Daoist Masters transformed from Three-Tribulation Dao Veins had already formed factions and alliances based on their compatible civilizational philosophies.

’At the Four Tribulations, my situation as a maverick will inevitably become even more difficult.’

’Perhaps this time, some Daoist Masters will realize that I am the one initiating the tribulation, and they will join forces to besiege me and take my place!’

’But so what!’

’All Daos vying for supremacy, with enemies in all Ten Directions?’
