The Unity of Myriad Daos grew stronger as one progressed, reaching a level where it could attain the Ultimate Dao.

The young novice, Hu Qing, paid no attention to the astonishment around him.

Instead, his gaze was fixed upon the ranking!

He sought a familiar face from his memories.

Ever since he had embarked on this Dao, a flood of memories had surged in his mind. These memories had bestowed upon him knowledge of cosmic secrets—such as the process of reaching the pinnacle of the universe and the collapse of the heavenly realms in the past.

The owner of these memories possessed the strength of a top fifth-tier Emperor, making him a formidable presence in the universe back in the day.

“Brother Jiu Yu, can you discern the purpose of this Universe Deity-Demon List? And why has it suddenly appeared here?” A genius of the Eastern Domain shifted the topic, looking at Jiu Yu.

Jiu Yu shook his head and replied, “I do not know. However, it seems to be related to the Qishen Temple mentioned by the Emperor.”

Indeed, besides the Qishen Temple, there was hardly anyone in the entire Original Universe with such grand ambitions.

Upon hearing this, everyone calmed down.

Initially discussing who could be behind this, they now realized that aside from the Qishen Temple, there was no other plausible explanation. It appeared they had come to the right conclusion this time. Despite the danger, there was also boundless opportunity in this venture.

The Deity-Demon List had just begun.

In the pitch-black void, a sudden burst of intense light erupted, blinding everyone present.

“Open your eyes, that’s the direction our escape lies!” People shielded their eyes from the blinding light, squinting towards the direction they had fled.

“That’s probably the treasure of Brother Wushuang! Truly powerful, worthy of a practitioner of the Ultimate Dao!”

“Hu Qing, you need to work harder too. Brother Wushuang is so strong at the

Three Revolutions. You also follow the Ultimate Dao, and you’re at the Six

Revolutions, but your strength still falls a bit short compared to Brother Wushuang.” Luo Shui covered her face, peeking through her fingers at the source of the intense light, all the while chattering to the young monk Hu Qing.

“Indeed!” Hu Qing closed his eyes, refusing to look, and said slowly, “Brother Wushuang has always been stronger than me. I greatly admire him.”

The blinding light was the eruption of Jian Wushuang’s origin.

At this moment, his body’s supreme Dao origin underwent an unprecedented change, and the entire universe of his thoughts was filled with countless rays of light.

These rays of light were all cracks, signs of the impending rupture of the universe of his thoughts. However, the demons and monsters had not yet been entirely consumed. If the universe ruptured and he was severely injured, he wouldn’t be able to escape even if he wanted to.

The universe, resembling bubbles, gave rise to countless fissures. These cracks, akin to rivers, continually spawned tributaries, spreading throughout the cosmos.

Jian Wushuang, however, couldn’t afford to concern himself with these intricacies at the moment. Desperately, he suppressed the primal origin of the Great Dao. The primal force flowed through his body, no longer merely suppressed but overwhelming him entirely.

The power of the Dao surpassed his innate strength, resulting in a backlash, a consequence of the Great Dao’s formidable nature. Fortunately, his soul had been nurtured to the sixth level through the cultivation of his Heart power, barely enabling him to control this surging force.

“No, I can’t hold on any longer!” Jian Wushuang endured immense torment; the overwhelming might of the origin threatened to rupture his very being.

He had overestimated his abilities. With the arrow already on the string, he had no choice but to change his course on the fly.

Embracing the breakthrough amidst this life-and-death situation!

His Yan power circulated within, enveloped by the external origin. He aimed to use these two forces to counterbalance each other, facilitating his own breakthrough.

Jian Wushuang closed his eyes, and in his mind, the panoramic view of a primordial universe appeared. The golden primordial source flowed like quicksand, descending from the top of the circular universe, nearly covering the entire primordial universe.

Jian Wushuang gritted his teeth, enduring the pain, and began his breakthrough.

The difference between Grand Yan Immortals and Yan Immortals lay in the manifestation of the Great Dao within their bodies, leaking out from their origins.

The broader the Great Dao manifested within, the stronger the power of the Grand Yan Immortal. When at the Three Revolutions level, the Great Dao within them stood several feet tall; by the sixth stage, it needed to be elevated to a hundred feet.

This was the best and most achievable aspect. The threshold from the Three to the Six Revolutions was not particularly high. It wasn’t as high as the threshold from Yan Immortal to Grand Yan Immortal.

The former only required an increase of several tens of times, while the latter needed an increase of a thousand times.

Throughout history, there were far fewer Yan Immortals who could fight Grand Yan Immortals beyond their stage, primarily due to the vast disparity in the levels of the Dao.

Therefore, breaking through from the Three to Six Revolutions was much simpler than a Yan Immortal breaking through to become a Grand Yan Immortal. However, Jian Wushuang was currently trapped both internally and externally. At this moment, the difficulty of his breakthrough was not much different from that of a Yan Immortal breaking through to become a Grand Yan Immortal.

The golden light shimmered. Jian Wushuang concentrated, recalling the giant he had encountered in the starry sky. When he had broken the cage, golden light had burst forth from his chest. In the end, the liberation of life allowed

him to break through.

With a colossal axe and an indomitable force, he shattered countless laws, breaking the supreme rules.

Finally, he shattered the cage of the stars. Although at that time, it was nothing to Jian Wushuang, considering his current state, he was far from being able to achieve such a feat. He was like a giant himself, capable of sacrificing his life and breaking countless laws, liberating himself from his constraints.

However, now, he found it incredibly challenging to accomplish the same feat.

Crash!

Golden sands cascaded down like a thought of the universe, attempting to engulf the entire outer appearance of the cosmos. Meanwhile, Jian Wushuang’s body was being devoured by the golden primordial source.

“Break and then establish!” Jian Wushuang suddenly opened his eyes wide, and his aura reversed!

The divine sword in his hand had long been eroded, yet even without a physical sword, there was a sword in his mind. Thought power materialized!

The sword was everywhere!

He stood proudly within his own universe; at this moment, he was the master of this domain.

Origin? Great Dao? Universe?

All illusions!

“Six Revolutions? Blink, and it shatters!”

Hum!

A powerful aura erupted from him!

This was the power of the Six Revolutions, but Jian Wushuang was unimpressed. Calmly, he raised his hand, and a sword appeared in it. With a simple motion from above, he cleaved down.

Crash!

This strike seemed ordinary but was profoundly dreadful.

“This sword strike is called Immortality!” Jian Wushuang roared. The sword shadows sliced through the universe.

Silence!

Then, a dazzling light burst forth, and with a single thought, the universe split into two halves. He reappeared in the void.

Swish!

The golden origin on his body and the sands of the original universe instantly transformed into a new cosmos.

This universe expanded even faster, directly spreading out millions of miles away.

This was breaking and then establishing, first breaking through his own cage and then constructing his own world.

With a single thought, the universe reformed. Jian Wushuang’s origin and Great Dao were elevated to a new level.

The fourth level of the Supreme Dao, “Great Decay Mastery”.

He did it, not only breaking through to the Six Revolutions but also elevating the Extreme Dao to the fourth level.

At this moment, the Ultimate Dao also loosened. Soon, he would reach the sixth level.

Devouring the origin indeed had boundless benefits. Although it was related to his own abilities, without these ghosts and monsters, he couldn’t have possibly advanced so quickly.

It was safe to say they complemented each other!
