Chapter 766 - 538: Daoist Monarch! Daoist Monarch! (2)
Boom——!
A colossal sound that shook the heavens erupted from within Chen Sheng.
The Innate Dao Seed suddenly exploded, unleashing a tremendous blood-red light, sweeping forth with indescribable speed!
Within the blood-red radiance.
An endless, majestic Ancestral Life River quietly manifested.
Roaring incessantly, surging without stop, the waves thundered like deafening peals of thunder, unmatched in grandeur.
The cycle of arising, abiding, decaying, and void was forcibly shattered, the rules of heaven and earth recast, the order of time and space rewritten.
Above the Ancestral Life River, blood essence swirled, Dao Rhyme flowing, countless blood patterns interweaving, concealing the mysteries of myriad life origins.
Soon after, within the Ancestral Life River, countless points of light quietly emerged, each one a Small Thousand World’s embryo.
Rapid evolution!
In the blink of an eye, eight hundred million Small Thousand Worlds were born within the river, stars rising and falling, suns and moons rotating.
Each Small Thousand World adhered to the original Innate Blood Dao, ceaselessly operating, forming a magnificent cosmic vista.
Rumble——!
The entire Pan Wu World, in this reverse process of regeneration, silently transformed, leaping into a Middle Thousand World!
The moment the world took shape, a boundless and unmatched Dao Might burst forth from within.
The aura around Chen Sheng skyrocketed, continuously increasing, and he laughed heartily:
"Blood Daoist Monarch, has become!"
...
South of the Three Extremes Domain.
Here, there were no suns, moons, or stars, no mountains, rivers, or vegetation.
Only an endless vast blood sea, shrouded in overwhelming Evil Qi, bearing ancient killing karma.
Beneath the blood sea, countless Asura tribespeople lurked in cultivation, tempering their battle bodies, sharpening their killing intent amidst the blood waves...
Sounds of roars, clashes of weapons, the boiling of blood essence, all intertwined into a wild and desolate Asura battle song.
"What is this?"
"This..."
With Chen Sheng’s breakthrough, the Asura Kings scattered across the blood sea were first to sense it, all of them top-tier Great Powers beyond the Void Refining Thirteen Tribulation.
In the eastern blood sea, an Asura King with three heads and six arms, his skin covered in ferocious blood patterns, suddenly opened the vertical eye on his brow, repressing undisguised joy:
"It is Father God! It is the aura of Father God!"
Deep within the bloodline, an ancient and arcane Asura bloodline map quietly emerged, as if woven by a galaxy, the patterns obscure.
At this moment, every line of the map was glowing, the initially slender bloodline threads gradually widened and thickened, extending visibly further.
Like a surging blood river, it coursed frantically within the bloodline map’s patterns.
At the same time, the blurry Law at the map’s source grew ever clearer, beginning to continue, transform, and ascend!
Becoming the true original Innate Blood Dao!
"Hahaha!"
"Father God has broken through! Father God has finally broken through to the Daoist Monarch realm!"
"My Asura race now finally has a Daoist Monarch to guard us!"
All six arms of the Asura King moved, the Asura Sword, Heaven-cleaving Axe, and Demon-Suppressing Pestle appeared simultaneously, their blade reflecting Karmic Fire, the axe wind tearing through the void.
On the other side, atop the blood sea’s crest, an Asura King with nine heads and a thousand arms, each head with eyes wide-open, baring fangs slightly.
Blood light surged around him, Karmic Fire entangled, his internal Asura bloodline map fully extended.
Previously confined to the core bloodline, the patterns now spread across a thousand arms, nine heads, even penetrating every inch of bone and blood.
"The bloodline map extends, the source Law has transformed into the Great Dao origin; we are a step closer to the Dharma Master realm!"
"Our Asura race is destined to prosper!"
...
The shouts of the Asura Kings merged with the Dao Might, spreading across the entire Asura nation.
Numerous low-cultivation Asura tribespeople, at this moment, felt the stirring deep within their bloodline.
The Asura bloodline within them, circulating madly, instantly shattered their stagnant cultivation bottleneck!
Some crimson-skinned Asura, their blood essence surged, muscles and bones crackled, their form suddenly towering several meters, opening a vertical eye on their brow, baring fangs, roaring as they broke through to Nascent Soul.
Some silver-haired Female Asura, their stance more enchanting and fierce, their aura surged, naturally stepping into the Divinity Transformation Realm.
Throughout the blood sea, the glow of breakthroughs rose one after another!
Roars, cheers, and the wild laughter of the Asura Kings intertwined, causing the heavens and earth to tremble slightly.
Rumble——
The enormous sound penetrated the sky, and from the depths of the blood sea abyss, endless blood light erupted.
The Asura War Heaven Banner emerged from the abyss, its crimson surface as if coagulated blood, embroidered with fierce Asura patterns, billowing in the wind, making a hunting sound.
Wherever the banner’s shadow covered, the battle intent surged like a tsunami, sweeping across the entire Asura realm, and the killing intent within the millions of Asura clan members ignited suddenly, their blood boiling continuously.
Above the void, a figure suddenly condensed, none other than Chen Sheng!
Without anger but with majesty, he held twin swords, their bodies lustrous, emanating innate blood light, seated atop a twelve-petal blood lotus.
The lotus platform exuded auspiciousness, blood patterns flowing, connected to the source of the boundless blood sea, Dao Rhymes overflowing around, resonating with the bloodline spectrum of millions of Asura clan members.
"My Dao is accomplished!"
A voice declared, not like thunder, yet it pierced through the heavens and earth, causing the blood sea waves to stagnate, and the karmic fire to surge with the Dao sound.
In an instant!
Clang!!
The sword’s cry broke the sky, clear and exalted, moving the hearts of all.
The twin swords responded to the sound and leapt out, leaving his embrace, their Sword Momentum soaring into the skies like two long blood-colored rainbows, piercing through the firmament, shattering primordial chaos, crushing constellations.
Where the Sword Qi passed, void patterns emerged, evil qi and Dao light intertwined, transforming into myriad auspicious clouds.
Above the blood sea, dark red glow covered the nine heavens, interplaying with Dao light, creating a magnificent spectacle.
A crowd of Asura Kings and millions of Asura clan members all abandoned their blades and knelt, bodies prostrate on the blood waves, heads knocking against the blood sea, sounding throughout the universe, echoing across star rivers.
"Congratulations to Father God for breaking through to Daoist Monarch!"
"Asura is immortal, Father God is eternal!"
...
The news of Chen Sheng’s breakthrough as a Daoist Monarch spread rapidly.
At the Antarctic Immortal Mansion, the Immortal Bell rang nine times by itself, clear immortal light winding around the Array Hub, delivering this news to every Dharma Master and Daoist Monarch within the mansion.
Since the Immortal Mountain descended to the world, over twenty Primordial Assemblies, the Antarctic Immortal Mansion’s foundation has grown increasingly prosperous, the number of Dharma Masters has risen by nearly forty percent compared to the beginning.
However, the position of Daoist Monarch was difficult to fill, and there remained only three Tribulation Crossing Daoist Monarchs to guard—Kong Fang, Cangyuan, Wan Huan.
On a Cloud Platform, celestial aura filled the air, the incarnations of three Tribulation Crossing Daoist Monarchs sat on lotus cushions.
Wan Huan Daoist Monarch chuckled softly:
"Fellow Daoist Pan Wu, finally broke through the shackles, and attained the position of Daoist Monarch."
Cangyuan Daoist Monarch nodded slowly, his tone peaceful yet solemn:
"Since the Immortal Mountain descended to the realm, our Antarctic lineage finally gained the fourth Daoist Monarch, truly a grand event."
"We have been waiting for quite a while!"
Kong Fang Daoist Monarch heard this and chuckled softly:
"Fellow Daoist Pan Wu’s breakthrough this time wasn’t slow, was it? Faster than us by quite a bit."
Cultivators at the fourth step of Integration live nearly five million years; Fellow Daoist Pan Wu is not yet three million this year.
Among the three, Kong Fang Daoist Monarch broke through at over three million years, while the other two were over four million.
The two Daoist Monarchs smiled gently:
"Now, with the Immortal Mountain descending, how can it be compared?"
"Moreover, fellow Daoist Pan Wu was too stunning in the past, which makes this breakthrough seem a bit slow, slightly unsettling."
After a pause, Cangyuan Daoist Monarch emphasized:
"Fellow Daoist Pan Wu is our Antarctic lineage’s only Named Disciple."
Among the three, the other two Daoist Monarchs remain in the first decline.
Kong Fang Daoist Monarch has the highest cultivation, having made considerable progress since the Immortal Mountain descended, now at the peak of the second decline, the forty-fourth peak!
Wan Huan Daoist Monarch:
"Brother Kong Fang, how much remains until the forty-fifth peak? When can you enter the Immortal Mansion as a Named Disciple?"
Kong Fang Daoist Monarch shook his head gently:
"The decline of will is tough to cross, having obtained the Techniques of the Immortal Mountain, I still lack absolute confidence, better to refine it for another fifty Primordial Assemblies."
The other two Daoist Monarchs sighed upon hearing this:
"More thorough, also good!"
Since the Immortal Mountain descended, it has been over twenty Primordial Assemblies.
To ordinary mortals, this is a river of eternity, a sea of change, but to Daoist Monarchs, it is not considered long.
They exist along with the Dao, nearly immortal and eternal.
Even the Great Dao tribulation of the five decays of heaven and man, if not triggered by oneself, requires a passage of a hundred twenty Primordial Assemblies before it descends.
