Chapter 590 Dao Scatters to the All Heavens, the Mountain and Sea Finally Collapses

The sorrow in his eyes dissipated.

Heng Ancestor coldly disappeared into the Sea of Chaos.

He crossed over toward the Profound Yellow Celestial Domain.

A Dao Ancestor falls, a civilization is wounded!

In the midst of this unspeakable sorrow.

All living beings on the side of Mountain and Sea—be they Desolate Ancestors, Primordial Ancestors, or any other—fell silent and ceased their assault.

In the clash of civilizations, there is no right or wrong.

There are only differing standpoints.

Thus, no matter how many conflicts and grievances they held, it did not stop the forces of Mountain and Sea from acknowledging his grace and paying their solemn respects as this first Dao Ancestor passed away.

"Sigh."

A sigh.

It resounded from the Sea of Chaos.

Like a warm spring breeze,

it gently soothed the sorrow of all living beings in the All Heavens.

Yet it carried with it an endless guilt.

BOOM!

After the sigh, a rain of light filled the world.

Boundless and brilliant, it showered down upon the All Heavens.

It fell upon the shoulders of the world’s inhabitants,

warming the Dao Foundation Dantians of the Extraordinaries,

and healing the wounds and pain of mortals.

The last of the Martial Dao Ancestor’s providence gathered one final time.

The Martial Ancestor did not fight to the bloody end.

For he knew he could no longer hold them back.

Thus, he chose to scatter his providence across the All Heavens,

entrusting hope to every person in the world.

「In the core of Buzhou Mountain.」

"Teacher..."

The Slaughter Emperor had lost his wild arrogance. His gaze was incredibly complex as he watched an illusory Dao Fruit drift down from the Abyss and appear in his hand.

"Back then, you were ambushed by Heng Ancestor, leaving your Body Dao flawed, which led to your dismal end. Although you evened the score last time, it was ultimately not enough."

The Martial Ancestor’s lingering consciousness

spoke from within the Dao Fruit:

"Though a Near Dao path forged from Primordial Chaos and one left behind by a Daoist are equally powerful, there is a fundamental difference in their informational essence on the level of the Great Dao.

Contemplate it well.

I know you have a tyrannical and violent nature, but having a temper is better than being heartless and without a Dao."

"..."

The Slaughter Emperor gazed at the fruit, which contained the Martial Ancestor’s final Dao Essence and insights as a Daoist. His expression shifted from sorrow to indifference, before he let out a long sigh.

’Success in this world is rarely a matter of luck.’

’He had risen from humble beginnings.’

’After leaving the Divine Wilderness for the grand stage of the Hongyuan Heavenly Realms, how could he have possibly reached such a height on his own, with no one to back him?’

’When Heng Ancestor moved against him back then...’

’he hadn’t even reached the Primordial Peak.’

’How could he have escaped with his life?’

’The answer to it all...’

’lay in his trip to Shanhai Pass during his time in the Creation Realm.’

’A nominal disciple...’

’Or rather...’

’A piece in the game between the Martial Ancestor and the Great Celestial Venerable.’

’Unfortunately...’

’they had underestimated the Great Celestial Venerable.’

’He had been defeated, and the Martial Ancestor had also lost his wager during the Five Tribulations.’

’Perhaps...’

’the Martial Ancestor’s fate today...’

’had already been sealed during that game they played back in the Five Tribulations.’

’This Dao Fruit left behind now...’

’He didn’t know if it was compensation for the Martial Ancestor’s scheming...’

’or a fruit of hope.’

’But the Slaughter Emperor believed...’

’it was most likely the latter.’

"My Dao can only save the world, but it can’t reach their level?"

The Slaughter Emperor mulled over the Martial Ancestor’s final words.

’What the Great Celestial Venerable and Mountain and Sea wanted to do...’

’someone at his level naturally knew.’

’And he wanted to do it too.’

’But according to the Martial Ancestor’s evaluation...’

’his Dao could only achieve Attainment and break the stalemate.’

’It couldn’t achieve the state of "No Dao"!’

Tsk~

The Slaughter Emperor put away the fruit.

’He thought of a certain fruit that he himself was cultivating.’

’Unable to achieve No Dao?’

’That’s not necessarily true!’

RUMBLE—

As the Martial Ancestor’s Dao scattered, a great sorrow fell upon All Heavens!

Meanwhile, a great upheaval erupted within Mountain and Sea!

The main pillar of providence had dissipated!

The Dao Celestial Stele could no longer be sustained.

From the First Celestial Gate to the Ninth Celestial Gate.

The Garrison Cities, the war zones, the territories, the dam zones!

All of the Dao Celestial Steles...

...were vanishing as the main body of the Dao Celestial Stele in Mountain and Sea City crumbled.

The spatio-temporal aggregate thundered and trembled.

Having lost the suppression of the Dao Celestial Stele,

it began to merge and unify!

"The Six Tribulations... it’s here after all."

The colossal hegemons, the Lords of All Heavens,

all sensed the chaotic Tribulation Qi rapidly surging within Hongyuan as Mountain and Sea collapsed.

The Martial Ancestor had shouldered two tribulations.

He entrusted hope to future generations.

Now that Hongyuan’s future had lost its Divine Pillar, the burden naturally fell entirely upon their shoulders!

""Rally the armies! Fight to the death!!!""

The second line of defense behind Buzhou Mountain—

a series of Chaos Dams stretching across the Sea of Chaos, sealing the breach at Shanhai Pass—began to rapidly activate!

"The time has come..."

「At the Ten Celestial Passes.」

The complex emotions in the eyes of two Desolate Ancestors turned to cold indifference as they gazed at Shanhai Pass, which was beginning to unify, finally offering an unobstructed path straight into the Hongyuan Chaos!

Once they crossed Shanhai Pass!

Hongyuan would be theirs for the taking!

VMMMM~

「Mountain and Sea Main City.」

Beneath the dissipating Dao Celestial Stele.

Within the darkness.

Countless ley lines of Shanhai Pass’s magnetic field, which had begun to recede as the Dao Celestial Stele crumbled, were now forcibly seized by a great black power!

Within the core!

"Finally... can it begin?"

A savage grin slowly spread across Wu Dao’s lips, and in his pupils, darker even than the Abyss, an ice-cold flame blazed fiercely.
