Chapter 565: [Profound Yellow Lord]

At the very peak of the Treasure Tree phantom, at the origin of all its branches, and within the core guarded by eternal Dao Fruits!

Two archaic and vigorous characters—each stroke seemingly outlined by the chaotic Dao Patterns from the dawn of creation—suddenly erupted. Their resplendent brilliance swept across the heavens and illuminated eternity!

[Primordial]!

This was the Dao name Qi Yun had personally carved in All Marvelous Heaven back then, using the Dao of [Primordial]!

In this moment, these two characters were no longer mere marks. They had come alive!

The two characters shone in mutual resonance. Their brilliance skyrocketed, forcefully piercing through the barrier of All Marvelous Heaven. It transformed into a pillar of chaotic light tens of thousands of miles wide. Cascading from the endless high heavens, it bathed the Broken Celestial Vault, the surging void, the intertwining auras of the Dao Kings, and even the entirety of Central Earth in a chaotic yet pure radiance!

“What?!”

“This is…?!”

“A shift in All Marvelous Heaven! The Profound Yellow Origin is boiling!”

Even the World Honored One’s perpetually tranquil voice carried a distinct tremor.

The next moment!

High up in All Marvelous Heaven, the Dao Fruits began to move. Suspended for countless eons, they symbolized complete Great Daos and bore the lifelong paths of True Monarchs and Dao Kings alike.

It was not just one or two.

It was all of them!

Hanging from the branches of the Profound Yellow Treasure Tree, the Dao Fruits were as countless as the stars. Whether their original light was blazing or dim, whether their Dao Rhyme was domineering or gentle, and whether they had masters or not… in this instant, they all broke free from their branches. They transformed into streaks of Flowing Light, varying in color but equally pure and vast. Like a hundred rivers converging into the sea or ten thousand stars paying homage to their sovereign, they surged madly toward the radiant [Primordial] Ancient Seal!

The Star Fruit Position, Talisman Fruit Position, Void Fruit Position, Strength Fruit Position, Annihilation Fruit Position, Slaughter Fruit Position, Life Fruit Position, Time Fruit Position…

Streak after streak of Flowing Light represented one Great Dao after another.

It looked as though all the Daos and Laws accumulated throughout the eternal history of the Profound Yellow were returning to their very origin!

“Not good!”

A sharp shout violently exploded in the air, jolting the crowd out of their profound shock.

True Monarch Shen Yi, who had been standing in the distance with a profound gaze, no longer had a shred of composure on his face. He stared fixedly at the [Primordial] Ancient Seal that was devouring the myriad streams of Flowing Light. Then, he abruptly turned his head to look at the figure in the center of the battlefield, his eyes completely bloodshot.

“This brat stole the Profound Yellow Origin and has taken control of All Marvelous Heaven!

“He is trying to merge his body with the Dao!”

The phrase “merge his body with the Dao” struck like an apocalyptic thunderbolt, violently blasting against the hearts of every peak existence present!

True Monarch Shen Yi’s furious shout was still echoing through the void, but the horror in his eyes suddenly morphed into a profound realization—and sheer absurdity.

“Stop him!”

For the first time, the World Honored One’s voice lost all its tranquility and Compassion, warping into a resolute and freezing Decree dripping with chilling killing intent!

Words were unnecessary. In this moment, all their schemes, grudges, and mutual suspicions were temporarily cast aside in the face of this colossal, shared threat.

The golden Buddha’s Hand held nothing back. Its five fingers clenched into a fist, and above its knuckles, the Swastika Buddha Seal spun madly. It transformed into a golden sun that incinerated the void and suppressed the Ten Thousand Laws. Carrying the boundless might of the World Honored One himself, it smashed down toward the cascading pillar of chaotic light and the [Primordial] Ancient Seal at its source!

The dark rift violently expanded as the figure shrouded in shadows stepped out!

This was the first time he had truly revealed a portion of his physical form. It was a blurry silhouette composed entirely of pure shadow, with only a pair of crimson eyes blazing as brightly as blood moons.

He raised his hand, and a continuously collapsing, pitch-black singularity surfaced in his palm. Around this singularity, light, space, and even the very threads of Law were twisted, severed, and devoured. He flicked this singularity—a symbol of the ultimate end and the Returning Ruins—straight toward All Marvelous Heaven!

The dark red Blood Sea surged backward madly, condensing into an indomitable, blood-colored phantom of a Demon Deity. With three heads and six arms, the Demon Deity wielded demonic weapons such as a blood scythe, a bone sword, and a soul drum. It unleashed a silent roar as its six arms swung in unison, unleashing six crimson torrents that tore through the sky and defiled the Ten Thousand Laws!

Within the grayish-cyan rift, the Ancient Sword was finally unsheathed! There was no earth-shattering sword hum. Instead, an incredibly pure and devastatingly sharp grayish-white thread extended outward from the tip of the blade.

Wherever this thread passed, all matter was severed, and all Daos were broken. It shot straight toward the core Dao Patterns of the [Primordial] Ancient Seal!

From the ghastly white rift, the moon-white figure gently tapped their jade ruyi downward.

“CLANG!”

This time, the chime was no longer clear and melodious; it was as muffled and heavy as a death knell!

The chime materialized into expanding rings of ghastly white ripples. Wherever the ripples passed, all colors faded and life withered. Even the very concept of existence became hazy, as if that entire space was being directly “erased” from reality itself!

The deep blue ocean froze completely before exploding with a deafening blast!

Countless massive, jagged, deep blue icebergs blasted out from the frozen expanse like billions of apocalyptic meteors. Each iceberg radiated an ultimate chill capable of freezing space-time and solidifying souls, hurtling down to blanket the sky as they smashed toward All Marvelous Heaven!

Beside the purple-gold rift, the figure wearing the Heaven-Peace Crown finally unsheathed the Celestial Emperor’s Sword at his waist!

With the blade drawn merely half an inch, a majestic imperial aura that forced the heavens to tremble and all worlds to submit swept across the realms! He did not fully draw the sword. Instead, he simply pointed its scabbard in the direction of All Marvelous Heaven and made a guiding motion.

A profoundly condensed streak of purple-gold Sword Qi erupted from the partially sheathed edge. Within this Sword Qi, magnificent visions faintly swirled—endless mountains and rivers, billions of mortal subjects, and civil and military officials bowing in reverence. Infused with the grandiose, upright, and utterly undeniable power of the “Mandate of Heaven,” the slash descended!
