Chapter 677 - 80: The Dao Fruit is Finally Attained! All Who Seek the Dao Must Seek Me

Chapter 677: Chapter 80: The Dao Fruit is Finally Attained! All Who Seek the Dao Must Seek Me

The Demon Ancestor let out a piercing shriek. Her Infinite Magical Power manifested, condensing into a jet-black long spear that pierced through the void, aimed to impale the Goddess!

The seven Supreme Beings were locked in battle.

’Innate Spiritual Light is infinite. Or rather, the will of one’s own True Spirit is infinite... How truly mysterious.’

The Supreme spoke with indifference. His Supreme True Form was not present, occupied with protecting Lu Xuan, but this current body still possessed the power of a top-tier Enlightened One.

With a casual grasp, he conjured a vast galaxy. Countless stars bobbed within it, and each speck of starlight was the Celestial Myriad Realms from a different period in time!

At this moment, Fu Xi no longer held back. He unleashed his full power and said in a grave voice:

"If Lu Xuan achieves Enlightenment, Taiyi will be able to devour him! When that happens, all will be lost! Supreme, you have no idea how deep Taiyi’s schemes run. Make Lu Xuan stop at once!"

As he spoke, he faced the brilliant river of stars formed from the convergence of the Infinite Celestial Myriad Realms. His own True Spirit, which occupied nearly half of Hongmeng, began to glow, colliding with the torrent and erupting in a dazzling light!

The Supreme raised his eyelids slightly and replied calmly:

"Taiyi? That is not for you to worry about. Besides... are Taiyi’s schemes truly as deep as yours, Fellow Daoist?"

"You don’t understand! You don’t understand at all!"

Fu Xi’s voice boomed as he tried to press forward, but he struggled to advance against the torrent formed from countless Celestial Myriad Realms!

He narrowed his eyes and no longer concealed his power. Unleashing all his abilities, he activated his Transcendent Trait, [Body Transformation], while simultaneously speaking to create a distraction:

"Supreme, your Skill is mysterious beyond measure, capturing the Celestial Myriad Realms from different instants and gathering them into a brilliant galaxy, but..."

Fu Xi smiled gently.

"Under my Infinite Spiritual Light, all of this will become my nourishment..."

As his voice fell, he activated [Body Transformation]. He used this Transcendent Trait to blanket the brilliant galaxy, replacing every living being within the countless [Celestial Myriad Realms]!

The galaxy trembled, then reversed its flow, surging back toward the Supreme. The bodies of all the ’Fu Xis’ within it radiated a vast Spiritual Light, which intertwined and formed a Heaven-Reaching giant!

"Not bad."

The Supreme praised him, his expression turning serious. His aged hand swept across everything, gently pressing down and extinguishing the entire galaxy made of Celestial Myriad Realms!

But the giant formed from Spiritual Light did not shatter. It threw a punch, meeting the Supreme’s fist.

They were evenly matched.

Fu Xi retreated three steps; the Supreme retreated six.

Fu Xi laughed loudly.

"As I thought! After Primordial was suppressed, Hongmeng fell, becoming like The Beginning of Ancient Times. In this place, only [Primordial] can be called supreme. And since The Three Pristine Ones are one body, if one is missing, do the other two weaken?"

The Supreme’s brow furrowed slightly. Unable to use his true form, while being in [Hongmeng], and furthermore in a state where [The Three Pristine Ones were incomplete], his power was greatly diminished. ’Dealing with a Transcendent Trait like this... is still rather troublesome.’

He gathered his thoughts and used a Skill to clash head-on with Fu Xi’s True Spirit. All of Hongmeng shook violently!

On another front, Ancient Bodhi Buddha and the Buddha Mother had joined forces to suppress the Lame Daoist. This was Hongmeng, a domain completely cut off from the River of Time, much like [The Beginning of Ancient Times].

Here, in a place so close to the origin, the Lame Daoist had not yet reached [Perfection] and was unable to unleash his full power. He could only barely resist!

"So that’s how it is! So that’s how it is!"

Ancient Bodhi Buddha laughed heartily. His Bodhi Miaoshu, with only forty-eight branches, was now evenly matched against the Qing Ping Sword.

His eyes gleamed, his face beaming with a smile.

"So, this is the weakness of you Three Pristine Ones?"

After a pause, Ancient Bodhi Buddha’s eyes shone brightly as he continued with a smile:

"The Three Pristine Ones are originally one body. Primordial dominates The Beginning of Ancient Times, the Supreme dominates the present age, and Spirit Treasure dominates the final kalpa. Each is invincible in their respective grand era. But with Primordial suppressed, Hongmeng is now incomplete!"

"This is your weakness!"

Hongmeng was originally occupied by all of The Three Pristine Ones. But after Primordial was suppressed, Hongmeng also fell, becoming similar to The Beginning of Ancient Times!

And in The Beginning of Ancient Times, Primordial is invincible, the Supreme is diminished, and Spirit Treasure is feeble!

As it is in The Beginning of Ancient Times, so it is in a Hongmeng that has lost the Primordial Great Celestial Venerable!

Beside them, the Buddha Mother also understood and exclaimed excitedly:

"So that’s it! Each of The Three Pristine Ones is invincible in one grand era, yet utterly feeble in the others that do not belong to them!"

Letting out a breath of clear air, the Buddha Mother laughed heartily.

"Therefore, with Primordial suppressed, The Three Pristine Ones are nothing to worry about in Hongmeng and The Beginning of Ancient Times!"

The Lame Daoist’s expression was grim. He said nothing. What Bodhi and the Buddha Mother said was true. In a sense, this was indeed the only weakness of The Three Pristine Ones.

Each was invincible in their own grand era, but at the same time, utterly feeble in the others!

Attacking the Supreme and Spirit Treasure in The Beginning of Ancient Times; attacking Primordial and Spirit Treasure in the present age; attacking Primordial and the Supreme in the final kalpa—this was the Magic Technique to counter The Three Pristine Ones!

Originally, this weakness wasn’t a major issue. But with Primordial suppressed, The Three Pristine Ones lost their control over The Beginning of Ancient Times, and Hongmeng became incomplete.

Taiqing and Shangqing could no longer occupy Hongmeng, much less dominate The Beginning of Ancient Times. Thus, this weakness was magnified infinitely!

"Fellow Daoist Shangqing, why continue this futile resistance? We do not wish to kill Lu Xuan, only to have him stop his Enlightenment. What is so wrong with maintaining the status quo, maintaining the balance?"

Bodhi spoke as his Miaoshu struck out. In this version of Hongmeng, so similar to The Beginning of Ancient Times, the Lame Daoist was at his weakest. Struck by Bodhi’s attack, he began to cough up mouthfuls of blood!

Meanwhile, the Demon Ancestor had completely suppressed the Goddess. The Goddess was still recovering from her injuries and was already in a weakened state, but that wasn’t the worst of it.

The most crucial point was that the Goddess, as the flesh of Wa Huang, was nearly Omniscient. However, she was utterly blind when it came to matters concerning [Wa Huang]. She couldn’t see through the Demon Ancestor at all, while the Demon Ancestor understood the Goddess completely!

"Today..."

The Demon Ancestor smiled as her long spear riddled the Goddess with wounds.

"Today, I shall take your body and complete my Dao!"

The stunningly beautiful woman pressed her lips together. She didn’t say a word, nor did she retreat a single step, using all her strength to fight back against the Demon Ancestor.

Her Transcendent Physique, which even Enlightened Ones couldn’t shake, lost its special properties when faced with Magical Power on the same Transcendent level. It was being damaged, being wounded!

The smile on the Demon Ancestor’s face grew wider.

"Why don’t you flee? Are you afraid that if you run, no one will be left to protect that Lu Xuan?"

After a pause, the Magical Power around her coalesced into a heaven-and-earth-piercing long spear. She gave a dazzling smile.

"Oh, Goddess, Goddess, you are far too foolish, your mind too childish. To take such a great risk for an outsider... Very well. If you were truly set on escaping, I really couldn’t stop you. But now..."

Watching the Goddess repeatedly dodge her thrusts, the Demon Ancestor’s expression suddenly turned frigid. The Heaven-Reaching Long Spear stabbed out viciously, but it wasn’t aimed at the Goddess. It was aimed at...

The Eight Trigrams Furnace.

To be precise, it was aimed at Lu Xuan, who was sitting inside the Eight Trigrams Furnace.

"You dare!"

The Goddess cried out in shock and anger. Although she knew the Eight Trigrams Furnace was indestructible and that the Supreme’s True Form was inside guarding it, she didn’t dare take the risk. She leaped into the air and positioned herself in front of the furnace.

The Heaven-Reaching Long Spear descended, aiming to pierce the Goddess’s head. The Supreme’s eyes darkened, and the Lame Daoist’s face changed drastically. Both tried to intervene, but they were desperately blocked by Fu Xi, Bodhi, and the others!

"This is... the perfect chance!" Fu Xi roared with laughter. Bodhi clapped his hands, and the Buddha Mother repeatedly sighed in compassion.

The Heaven-Reaching Long Spear, infused with the Demon Ancestor’s Supreme Magical Power and her Transcendent Traits, was upon the Goddess’s head.

VMMMM!!

A pristine white hand appeared from nowhere. With a light flick of a finger, it struck the shaft of the spear. The long spear stopped dead, letting out a crisp ring as it trembled uncontrollably!

The Supreme let out a breath of relief. Shangqing laughed loudly. The Goddess glanced to the side, then began to jump up and down like a child.

"Xiaoxuan!!"

The lid of the Eight Trigrams Furnace had been thrown open at some unknown point, and a Daoist slowly walked out from within.

"He succeeded in his Enlightenment?!" Ancient Bodhi Buddha’s expression turned ugly. He sensed for a moment, only to be completely stunned.

Not a single Dao Fruit Position was missing.

Not only were none missing, but there was... half a new one.

Nine and a half.

The Daoist walked out of the Eight Trigrams Furnace, stretched, and said softly:

"Enlightenment? I do not seek Enlightenment, nor do I make an Inquiry Dao, and I certainly do not pursue the Dao."

After a pause, Lu Xuan raised his eyelids and stared at All Daoist Fruits, his expression calm.

"I am the Dao. I am the Dao Fruit. It should be..."

"It should be you who come to be enlightened by me, to make inquiry of me, to pursue me."

The Realm of Transformation was complete.

He had truly ’become’ a Dao Fruit.
