Walking by the Abyss on Thin Ice

The cultivation techniques and abilities of the four Grey Tribulation Kings are different from those of the current era. They follow the path of faith and belief, and their cultivation strength is similar to the current era's Original Realm.

Facing such existences, one or two Dao Saints might be able to handle it, but when all four of them attack together, the only path for the Dao Saints is defeat.

However, knowing that he is doomed, the Dao Saint still draws his sword and activates the Tao Yuan Technique. Suddenly, a spiritual realm emerges within him, creating a paradise outside the world.

His Tao Yuan Technique is different from others. The spiritual realm within it forms a separate paradise, containing the same caves and Deep Abyss that ordinary people have, as well as the sun, moon, stars, and even the Three Clear Heavens, Three Corpse Gods, and the gods of the Heavenly Stars.

This is the uniqueness of the Daoist path, which has developed over five thousand years and is extraordinary.

The Dao Saint lets out a long roar, taking the first step. His white hair turns black, taking the second step. His body rapidly rejuvenates, taking the third step. The Clear Void Sword in his hand transforms into a green light, displaying the swordsmanship of the Three Clear Saints.

He is determined to improve his spiritual nature as much as possible, even if it means provoking his own Heavenly Tribulation!

At this stage of his cultivation, he has long reached the level of Tribulation Crossing. The reason he hasn't crossed the tribulation is that he has no certainty.

The Daoist path has its own secrets in terms of spiritual nature, but it has not achieved the same level of physical achievement as the Buddhist path, let alone the new unified teachings of the current era.

However, the Dao Saint's spiritual nature is strong enough. It's just that throughout history, even the First Holy Emperor perished under the Heavenly Tribulation on the path to immortality, and countless other saints died in their own Heavenly Tribulations.

The Dao Saint knows that his physical body is too weak and cannot cross the tribulation. He can only suppress his aura on a daily basis and wait for his spiritual nature to ascend after his natural death. - The so-called ascension of the spiritual nature is actually the same path as Lou Ban, Cen Fuzi, and others, flying beyond the heavens after the spiritual nature is free from attachments, following the path of the ancient saints, traversing the stars, and seeking the immortal realm.

However, in this battle, the Dao Saint cannot suppress any aura anymore and allows his aura to leak out, attracting the Heavenly Tribulation.

The sky rumbles with thunder, and lightning flashes.

The Dao Saint pays no attention to it, facing the thunder with his sword, his sword light sweeping through the air, a green light swirling above his head, attacking the four Grey Tribulation Kings.

The four Grey Tribulation Kings move like ghosts, forming a formation, and behind them, their bone wheels expand. At the same time, it seems as if there are countless beings praying and chanting.

The bone wheels have evolved throughout their long history, specifically growing bones to absorb the faith and power of sentient beings!

The faith of sentient beings surges forth. It is the terrifying power of the countless beings in the previous world who were unwilling to be destroyed in the Grey Tribulation, transformed into their immense magical powers.

They raise their scepters, wielding their staffs and knives, and four rays of light, like thunder, meet the Clear Void Sword in the Dao Saint's hand!

"Boom!"

The Dao Saint withstands the attacks of the four Grey Tribulation Kings. Suddenly, three streams of clear energy appear above his head, transforming into three sword lights that pierce through the forehead of one of the Grey Tribulation Kings!

The back of that Grey Tribulation King's head explodes, and blood mist fills the air.

This is the essence of the Three Clear Swordsmanship. The greatest power of the Three Clear Swordsmanship lies in the three sword techniques executed by the spiritual nature. A direct hit means certain death, not only severing the physical body but also killing the spiritual nature. It is extremely powerful!

Due to the harm it causes to the heavens and the earth, the Dao Saint rarely uses the Three Clear Swordsmanship. One reason is that it is unnecessary. After all, he is a Dao Saint. Which enemy is worthy of him using such swordsmanship? The other reason is that killing the spiritual nature of others goes against the moral principles of the Daoist path.

Now he has no choice but to activate this heaven-defying sword technique.

However, the Dao Saint immediately spits out blood, and the Clear Void Sword in his hand explodes. This powerful saintly weapon cannot withstand the attack of the four Grey Tribulation Kings and is shattered into dust. The Dao Saint tumbles backward.

In an instant, he ages, even though the Great Unified Technique taught to him by Su Yun can prolong his life, but his desperate fight, risking his life and provoking the Heavenly Tribulation, is too exhausting for his essence.

The Dao Saint spits out blood and tries to stand up with the support of the Clear Void Sword, but the sword turns into strands of softness.

He had long abandoned the use of the dusting whisk. The dusting whisk is used to dust off the dust on the Daoist heart. The Dao Saint has long surpassed this stage. His Daoist heart is pure and free from any impurities. He plays with the world like a game, laughing and cursing in the martial world, carefree and at ease.

But now, the Clear Void Sword has been turned into a dusting whisk, as if mocking him for being swayed by worldly desires after growing old and needing to be dusted off.

The Dao Saint throws the dusting whisk aside, supports himself with both hands on the ground, but his aged body can't bear the weight. He kneels on the ground, and upon closer inspection, he sees that the arm that was holding the sword earlier has been severed.

When he clashed head-on with the four Grey Tribulation Kings just now, his treasured saintly weapon, which he had cultivated for half his life, couldn't withstand it. He didn't expect that his own arm couldn't withstand it either and broke like this.

The Dao Saint struggles to prop himself up with his other arm, but it's difficult for his elderly body. Half-kneeling on the ground, he smiles and says, "Killing one more is still a gain..."

At this moment, one of the Grey Tribulation Kings swings his scepter, and a ray of light slashes towards the Dao Saint. Facing this attack, the Dao Saint wants to resist but has no strength left.

"After all, I'm old..." he silently says in his heart.

The ray of light heads straight for his neck, but suddenly, a golden arm reaches out, firmly grabbing the ray of light and crushing it with a tight grip.

The Dao Saint bitterly smiles, "Baldy..."

The Holy Buddha activates his Golden Body, standing in front of him. His gaze falls on the three Grey Tribulation Kings and says to Yu Qingluo, "Madam Yu, can your Fire Cloud Cave protect this pure land?"

Yu Qingluo looks towards the elders of the Fire Cloud Cave, only to see that each elder has activated their cultivation techniques and abilities to the extreme. Various holy emperors and saints' manifestations appear above their heads. These are the techniques they have cultivated, allowing their spiritual nature to involuntarily manifest various unique manifestations.

"Madam, rest assured."

The elder transmitting the techniques says in a deep voice, "We can hold on."Yu Qingluo shouted loudly, "Holy Buddha, rest assured, Huoyun Cave can hold on!"

Holy Buddha smiled and reached out to support Dao Saint, saying, "Can the tough guy hold on?"

He touched Dao Saint and felt something was wrong. Many bones in Dao Saint's body were broken. When his hand touched his body, he could feel many bone fragments.

"I can hold on."

Dao Saint smiled and said, "My spiritual power can still fight."

His tattered spiritual power appeared, reaching a height of more than ten zhang. With one arm severed, he reached out his hand, lifted Dao Saint, and placed him on his shoulder, ready to fight again.

Holy Buddha laughed heartily and said, "You remind me of your stubbornness when you were young!"

He took the lead and rushed towards the three Great God Kings. Dao Saint's spiritual power carried Dao Saint's tattered body and also charged towards the three Great God Kings!

Just at the moment when the two great legends charged desperately, Jiang Zushi spat out blood and was hit by both Qin Wuling and Han Jun, falling into the battlefield of the officials of the Great Qin Dynasty and the masked people and the external incarnations of Qin Wuling.

Jiang Zushi fought back against the masked people and the external incarnations, blocking in front of Luo Wanyi. His voice hoarse, he said, "Your Majesty, go quickly!"

"Wu Sheng, where can we go?"

Luo Wanyi walked out from behind him and said calmly, "Below is the Cloud Capital of the Great Qin. As for the people of the Cloud Capital, I, there is no place for me to retreat. Wu Sheng, let's fight to the death."

Jiang Zushi no longer persuaded her, raised his spirits, and whispered, "If Liuxi is still alive, perhaps there is a chance to turn the tide..."

Luo Wanyi trembled and did not speak.

Although it was Luo Yujin, her father, who ordered the gods and demons under his command to kill Yue Liuxi, it was also related to her, Jiang Zushi, and the God Emperor. Without their consent, Luo Yujin would not have killed Yue Liuxi.

Unfortunately, there is no regret medicine.

"I and the Great Qin..."

Luo Wanyi clenched her teeth and rushed towards the incarnations and masked people of Qin Wuling and Han Jun, shouting loudly, "I and the Great Qin, only death!"

"Boom!" Holy Buddha and Dao Saint flew back and landed in front of Su Yun and the others.

They fought together against the three Great God Kings, exhausted their efforts to kill one of the Ashen God Kings, but could only exchange injuries for injuries and were severely wounded again.

Dao Saint could no longer stand up, and Holy Buddha barely stood up but fell down again.

Although the remaining two God Kings were also injured, their combat power remained. They each leaned on their scepters and approached.

"Master, you should return to Huoyun Cave."

The elder of Huoyun Cave suddenly smiled and said, "Master Jing made the right choice, but we realized it too late. Huoyun Cave is different from other inheritances. The purpose of Huoyun Cave is only one, which is to leave behind the inheritance of the saints and the fire seed."

He stood up, and the other elders also stood up one after another.

Yu Qingluo looked confused at first, but then made up her mind.

The elder of Huoyun Cave smiled and said, "As long as Huoyun Cave still exists, the inheritance will exist. Take care, Master!"

Yu Qingluo activated the Huoyun and stood on it, turning around and said, "Elders... take care!"

She walked towards Huoyun Cave, suddenly turned around, and shouted, "Su Yun, let's go together! Su Yun—"

Su Yun's face was pale, and he only heard her call after a few times and turned his head. Yu Qingluo reached out her hand, her eyes full of hope, "Let's go together!"

Su Yun shook his head in confusion, his voice hoarse, "No need, Miss Qingluo. The goal of my Tongtian Pavilion is different from your Huoyun Cave. We want to reach the other shore, to uncover the hidden secrets of the world. Look..."

He looked up at the sky and murmured, "The other shore is almost here..."

Yu Qingluo stood in the passage of Huoyun Cave, unable to see the situation of the other magnificent world getting closer and closer to their world.

Yu Qingluo bit her lip lightly, turned around, and walked into Huoyun Cave.

"I hope that when I come out again, the world will not be left with only me..." she silently prayed in her heart.

Huoyun Cave closed, and the elders of Huoyun Cave walked out and greeted the two Great God Kings.

The pure land they painstakingly created to eliminate the heart demons instantly collapsed, but they had no choice but to fight!

Under the Xianlu, without the suppression of the hearts of these elders, Qilin, Ugly Woman, Tianpeng, and other gods and demons' thoughts were all controlled by Yuren.

The battle under the Xianlu, from evenly matched, instantly became one-sided!

Within a few rounds, the fourteen gods and demons fell to the ground. Taisui and Xiangliu separated and fell to the ground, with only enough strength to breathe. Taisui struggled to crawl outward but couldn't crawl anymore. He smirked and said, "Xiao Liu, in this life, I have been entrusted to you by your old man..."

Yuren was also covered in injuries, panting heavily, barely supporting the Xianlu.

He gasped for breath, looked at the fallen gods and demons, suddenly burst into laughter, and laughed so hard that he coughed up blood.

"Yuren!"

Qilin struggled but couldn't get up, gritted his teeth and said, "You have not succeeded! You only have ninety-five jade tablets..."

Yuren laughed madly, sat down on the ground, and laughed so hard that he pounded his knees and tears flowed.

Ugly Woman, with only her head left and her body destroyed, said coldly, "You only have ninety-five jade tablets, unable to let this world go to the immortal realm, you will only make this world crash into the Beimian Great Wall and shatter!"

Yuren laughed so hard that he couldn't catch his breath. After a while, when he caught his breath, he said faintly, "Don't you realize? From beginning to end, the orbit of this world has never deviated, because I used ninety-six jade tablets. What you don't know is that Winged Dragon has a Nine-Headed Dragon jade tablet."

The fourteen gods and demons fell silent, and after a while, Golden Crow angrily said, "Winged Dragon, that traitor!""You should consider yourselves lucky, you are not the ones I'm sacrificing."

The human demon, Yujin, struggled to stand up, leaning on his immortal staff. At this moment, Su Yun, looking lost and disoriented, was walking towards him, his eyes vacant and muttering under his breath.

He walked through the battlefield where Qin Wuling and Han Jun's avatar had fought. One of Han Jun's masked men immediately tried to kill him.

"Han Jun, let him come," Yujin said with a smile.

Han Jun bowed his head and said, "Yes."

Su Yun staggered through the battlefield, which was in a state of chaos.

He passed through the battlefield where the two great calamity ash god kings and the elders of the Fire Cloud Cave had fought. The blood of an elder splashed on his face.

Su Yun walked unevenly, and at this moment, the human demon Yujin heard his words: "I can't leave, I will fight to the end..."

Yujin let him walk up to him. In the sky, the huge sun slowly swayed past this world, illuminating the mountains and rivers, but it could not dispel the gloom.

The gloom was the calamity ash transformed from the world's natural energy, falling down in a flutter.

On the distant sea surface, more calamity ash cities were emerging from the sea floor. This trend was still spreading globally and was about to reach Yuan Shuo.

"You have not yet surrendered, you want to fight me, you want to seek death."

Yujin, a young man with white hair, looked at Su Yun's clenched fist, understood his heart, and said leisurely: "I admire young people like you. Destroying your Dao heart and making you surrender is what I enjoy the most. My daughter, Han Jun, Qin Wuling, they have all surrendered. Now only you are left."

Su Yun let out a beast-like roar from his throat, tightly clutching the wooden box, which suddenly turned into a wooden sword!

Behind him, a large sword formed from the dust curtain in the sky.

"Is it the Immortal Sword Slaying the Demon Dragon?"

Although Yujin was very weak, he laughed and said: "It's a waste of effort. I've done so much, and finally, everything is perfect. I can keep you as a pet and let you see my achievements. But, I respect people like you, so I plan to give you a chance to die generously."

He looked up at the sky, at the world that was getting closer and closer, his arm slowly turned into an immortal sword: "Make your move, I will send you on your way."

Su Yun roared, took a big step forward, and swung the wooden sword in his hand, performing the Immortal Sword Slaying the Demon Dragon!

Yujin smiled, his right hand turned into a sword, waiting to kill Su Yun with one stroke.

However, just at this moment, when Su Yun was still more than ten feet away from him, the large sword formed from the dust curtain in the sky slashed at the Winged Dragon's jade decree.

Yujin was taken aback.

Su Yun stopped, sheathed his sword, and looked calm.

"Yujin, what do you see when you read my heart now?" Su Yun asked.

The human demon Yujin probed his heart, which was calm and empty. There was no despair, no hesitation, no utter desolation, nothing at all!

"Snap, snap!" The sound of the jade decree shattering came from above Su Yun's head.

The corner of the human demon Yujin's eye twitched, and the Winged Dragon's huge tail hung down from behind Su Yun.

"Yujin, what you see is what I want you to see."

The sword in Su Yun's hand turned back into a wooden box, and he said lightly: "What you didn't see is the iceberg under the sea. You lost."

The jade decree exploded, and the huge body of the Winged Dragon fell.
