Chapter 480: I Hate Being Forced by Others the Most, So It's My Turn to Force You

Chapter 480: I Hate It Most When Others Force Me, So Now I Will Force Them!

The matter of Ziyuan Heaven spread far and wide, drawing the attention of countless Yang God Venerables.

After all, this was something unheard of since ancient times, extremely bizarre.

The White Dragon Abyss Lord, draped in a jade-silk robe, furrowed her brows: "He is actually the Ten Suns Venerable... In the struggle for the throne, that one from Taihuang Palace will not let him go. Difficult, so difficult!"

Though she coveted the Blood Robe's bloodline, she could not risk opposing Taihuang Palace for his sake.

"If before his death, he could share a night of passion with me and sire a child... that might become a beautiful tale," sighed the White Dragon Abyss Lord.

Then the child would avenge his father, exterminating Taihuang Palace—what a splendid thing!

Of course, the White Dragon Abyss Lord only entertained the thought, for... it was not feasible.

Meanwhile.

Within Taihuang Palace, vast and mighty auras rose and fell in succession.

True Origin Venerable's gaze carried murderous intent: "Hmph, Ziyuan Ancestor and Black Sword are far too arrogant, actually blocking us!"

The Great Principle beside him nodded: "Unexpected that even the Supreme Venerable's intervention allowed the Ten Suns Venerable to escape."

"Can he escape for a moment, but for a lifetime?" True Origin Venerable said disdainfully.

Now that Taihuang Palace presided over the Linya Molt, there would always be a way to deal with the Ten Suns Venerable.

Tai Sun Venerable stood aside, his expression complex: "I never thought he was Mo Chi, having comprehended two supreme principles.

If he is allowed to grow, he will be an absolute great enemy to Taihuang Palace!"

At this mention, the Yang God Venerables present also tightened their hearts.

That Ten Suns Venerable had the capital to challenge the Great Sun Supreme Venerable.

Once, ten suns hung in the sky, intimidating all realms.

Later, he created an unprecedented masterpiece, comprehending two supreme principles.

Such an existence, given enough time, could grow to a degree simply unimaginable.

"A mere sinner, yet able to reach such a level—truly shocking.

Pity, his good fortune has run out. What awaits him next is the thunderous wrath of Taihuang Palace!"

True Origin Venerable exclaimed, the murderous intent in his words unconcealed.

Just then, suddenly, a telepathic message fell into True Origin Venerable's ear. He narrowed his eyes, his expression momentarily stunned.

"He is actually hiding in Tiankun Wonderland!"

"What? Tiankun Wonderland?"

The other Yang Gods were also astonished at this moment.

After all, Tiankun Wonderland had recently gained great renown.

The Human Emperor Hall Envoy hid in Tiankun Wonderland and defeated the Banner Master.

"Could it be... that this Human Emperor Hall Envoy and this Qi Yuan... are one and the same?" True Origin Venerable's face showed some wariness as he mentioned this.

If the Ten Suns Venerable had comprehended two supreme principles, he had great potential; the Human Emperor Hall Envoy had already realized that potential.

"If they are one... that is somewhat dangerous!"

"Hmph, he only used the Human Emperor Banner to counter the Bannerless Master. If we act, who cannot slay him?

Without the Great Principle Mark, even if he possesses offensive creation treasures, if the Supreme Venerable acts, he will surely die!" True Origin Venerable said gruffly.

In this Sixth Heaven of Immortal Dao, the Great Principle Mark is the talisman of the Great Principle.

"It is truly strange—why does he not have the Great Principle Mark?"

"Such an anomaly—anything can happen to him!"

"This enemy cannot be allowed to live outside any longer. Otherwise... if he condenses the Great Principle Mark, it will be very troublesome!"

The Taihuang Palace crowd looked tense, also carrying a hint of anxiety.

They were only waiting for the Supreme Venerable's command, ready to rush to Tiankun Wonderland.

...

"Not bad, I have gained some more divine arts."

Qi Yuan held Jinli's small hand, his gaze gentle.

This time, Jinli had followed him from Moon God Palace to Ziyuan Heaven, bringing many divine arts.

"Hus...band, what do you need so many divine arts for?" Jinli's pretty face still bore a hint of blush, her beautiful eyes showing some confusion.

After arriving at Tiankun Wonderland, Qi Yuan was not flustered, or rather, not afraid.

Instead, he leisurely browsed through some divine arts, which puzzled Jinli.

"Naturally... to refine the sun. One divine art roughly equals one sun. I must hurry," Qi Yuan said, closing his eyes to begin adapting the Golden Core chapter of the *Qi Yuan Scripture*.

Jinli stood beside him, her figure full and graceful, looking at Qi Yuan: "Refine the sun?"

At this moment, Qi Yuan was creating the *Qi Yuan Scripture*, his expression focused.

Soon, the *Qi Yuan Scripture* made considerable progress.

Qi Yuan paused briefly, glancing at the game loading on the jade slip.

"The game's progress bar is moving fast... I need to step up and eliminate the threat of Taihuang Palace!

What if the game's time flow is too slow, and the Linya Molt begins—there could be hidden dangers."

When formulating his super grand plan, Qi Yuan had thought it through carefully.

He had to resolve the threat of Taihuang Palace before starting the new game.

After all, what if one second in the game equaled ten thousand years in reality?

By the time he finished playing the game, everything would be cold.

Therefore, before entering the game, it was best to deal with Taihuang Palace.

And this exposure of his identity was also part of his plan; otherwise, Qi Yuan had many ways to avoid the patrols of the heavens.

The only surprise was that the starlight on him was too abundant, like ocean waves.

Now, from fleeing Ziyuan Heaven to stepping into Tiankun Wonderland, he had been retreating all along.

This way, the plan seemed more normal, more reasonable.

He was being forced, step by step led by the nose by Taihuang Palace.

"The *Qi Yuan Scripture* has already been passed to Ning Tao. When will this Taihuang Palace... come?" Qi Yuan stretched lazily, then lay down on Jinli's thigh.

A faint fragrance of her body filled the air, and Qi Yuan felt his heart at ease, his mind calming, and the fatigue on him dissipating.

Jinli held Qi Yuan's head, adjusting his position to make him more comfortable: "Is Ning Tao an older sister or a younger sister?"

There was a hint of jealousy in her words.

"This..." Qi Yuan was momentarily taken aback. "Are you jealous?"

"Try it... see if I'm jealous." Moon Maiden Jinli bit her lip, her eyes holding a spring of water. As her words fell, she leaned in and kissed him.

It was lingering and fierce.

After about a few dozen breaths, this entanglement finally parted.

Jinli, usually so aloof, was now panting, her pretty face flushed.

"Did you taste it?" Jinli's jade-like arms hooked around Qi Yuan's head.

In those few dozen breaths, the roles had reversed, and Qi Yuan now held the upper hand.

Qi Yuan thought back carefully: "No jealousy?"

Jinli was all fragrant; where was the sourness of vinegar?

"Try again?" Jinli's expression was bold as she crouched down.

When others were around, she was gentle, knowing, and reserved, like a peony.

But alone with Qi Yuan, she was exceptionally daring and seductive, as if she wanted to knead him into her very being, like a peach blossom in full spring bloom.

After who knows how long, she looked up stubbornly at Qi Yuan: "Has she... done this with you?"

This tone, Qi Yuan seemed to have heard before in the quarrels between Zi Yuan Xiaolu and An Xun Lu.

"Probably... yes?" Qi Yuan valued honesty and integrity.

When he was with Ning Tao and the Canary, as a young couple, they had tasted many forbidden fruits.

Sometimes Ning Tao was on top, sometimes the Canary, and even Qi Yuan found it hard to resist.

Hearing this answer, Jinli seemed to pout and bit Qi Yuan's arm lightly, not as hard as when she kissed.

"What about this?" Jinli thought of something, her gaze shifting.

As her words fell, the white dress was undone from the front, her clothes slightly loosened, revealing a jade-like, flawless body, fair and tender skin, a delicate and slender waistline.

Unlike Ning Tao and the Canary's petite figures, Jinli's body was much fuller.

There was not an ounce of excess fat, but where flesh was needed, not a bit was lacking.

Plump and full, warm jade in one's arms, it made one want to carve deeply.

She embraced Qi Yuan, and the two instantly pressed together, her charming, flower-like face flushing even more.

The white dress was quickly fastened again, and she held Qi Yuan tightly, like a warrior sharing a cloak.

Now, it was as if Qi Yuan had crawled into Jinli's dress.

"We've got the marriage certificate..."

"This... ah..." Soft flesh entered his mouth, a wave of heat hit his face, and Qi Yuan said instinctively, "This dress is hindering my performance!"

Trapped inside the dress, he dared not make any big moves.

"Has she done this with you?"

"Ah... no, her dress is smaller!"

"Are you... calling me fat?"

...

Happy times were always short, and Qi Yuan knew restraint.

Though wine and lust harm the body, luckily Qi Yuan hardly drank; the last time was on the walls of Wugui, when he tasted the daughter's fragrance of Zhang Sheng and Chen Jiao.

Daughter's fragrance, how could it compare to Jinli's fragrance?

These days, Jinli was especially proactive and passionate, almost like a discarded pet trying too hard to please, always burrowing into Qi Yuan's arms.

This was completely unlike her usual noble and cold Moon Maiden nature. Qi Yuan knew it was mostly because Jinli lacked a sense of security, which made her seem so contradictory.

He also knew that Jinli acted this way out of fear, anxiety, and the vengeful psychology accumulated over ten thousand years.

"It seems I need to be more proactive," thought Qi Yuan, who was emotionally intelligent.

He thought, looking at Jinli, now fully dressed, bright and moving, even in simple loose clothes, her two big "thunderclaps" were hard to hide.

Proactive?

He looked at Jinli and suddenly said, in a harsh tone: "Disarm!"

"..." Jinli blinked, looking a bit aggrieved, but mostly expectant.

"Disarm!" Qi Yuan said again.

...

One day in the Six Heavens equals a year and a half in Tiankun Qidi.

Qi Yuan had stayed in Tiankun Qidi for nearly a year.

Only then did Taihuang Palace finally arrive slowly.

Suddenly, outside Tiankun Qidi, a great light blazed.

It was as if a great sun hung in the sky, the eastern sun already driving its chariot, its might vast and sweeping.

For countless miles around, no other stars could be seen, only that great sun in the eyes.

"Ten Suns Heavenly Lord, come out and die!"

The voice was vast, stretching for ten thousand miles, like a thunderclap.

Outside Tiankun Qidi, beneath that great sun, in the void, it seemed as if countless divine lords had descended.

Two Great Ultimate Truths stood at the front of the formation, their pressure making the earth tremble.

Inside Tiankun Qidi, Qi Yuan looked languid: "Isn't your Taihuang Palace so powerful? Why don't you come in and die?"

Go out? Naturally, Qi Yuan would not.

Now, in terms of strength alone, he was no match for Taihuang Palace.

But inside Tiankun Qidi, with the remnant-robed soul, Taihuang Palace would surely be cautious.

"Ten Suns in the sky, seeking to seize the throne—aren't you very bold? Now, why are you cowering in Tiankun Qidi and not coming out?" True Origin Heavenly Lord spoke, his voice cold.

In Tiankun Qidi were the Holy Light Clan and the remnant-robed soul.

He was extremely wary of both beings.

Especially the remnant-robed soul, which seemed to come from beyond the realm. Though only a wisp of a remnant soul remained, its power was unimaginable.

Even an ordinary Upper Lord would not dare to enter Tiankun Qidi rashly and fight the remnant-robed soul.

"I won't come out. I just won't," Qi Yuan said lazily, quite shamelessly.

"You..." True Origin Heavenly Lord was furious, his expression shifting.

If the Ten Suns Heavenly Lord kept hiding in Tiankun Qidi, Taihuang Palace could do nothing for now.

Of course, given enough time, True Origin Heavenly Lord believed Taihuang Palace would find a solution.

"Take it slow when you speak, don't choke. Time flows fast in Tiankun Qidi. I'm going to take a bath. I'll come back to curse you later!"

After saying this, Qi Yuan vanished.

He spoke the truth.

The flow of time in Tiankun Qidi was too swift, so during the quarrel, he had much more time to think.

When tired of cursing, he could still go drink some water and eat a meal—what a delight.

“You…” True Origin Heavenly Lord thundered in rage, “Men, refine Tiankun Qidi for me!”

With his voice,

countless Yin spirits appeared within the divine kingdom, their backs against a great sun, ceaselessly striking at Tiankun Qidi.

True Origin Heavenly Lord knew that dealing with Ten Suns Heavenly Lord… could not be resolved in a single day.

And this refining of Tiankun Qidi was merely an attempt by the Yin spirit venerables.

After all, Canpao was still inside.

“Keep up the good work—I’ve already finished my bath,” Qi Yuan continued to say lazily.

The scene at that moment was especially bizarre.

True Origin Heavenly Lord, outside Tiankun Qidi, chattered endlessly, angrily cursing something.

Meanwhile, Qi Yuan, inside Tiankun Qidi, ate, cultivated, bathed, and strolled with Jin Li, occasionally returning a retort—and hitting the mark precisely.

…

Over Ziyuan Heaven, dark clouds gathered thick.

Ziyuan Xiaolu’s small face turned pale: “I heard Taihuang Palace has surrounded Tiankun Qidi, and Senior Brother Xuepao is inside—will he be all right?”

This time, her worry was far greater than before.

This time, it was Taihuang Palace making a move.

That was a Supreme Venerable.

An Xunlu looked at the pale-faced Ziyuan Xiaolu, shedding her usual combative stance to comfort her: “With Senior Brother Heijian here, and the Ancestor as well, even Taihuang Palace… cannot casually slay Xuepao!”

Of course, that was merely comfort.

Taihuang Palace, which presided over the Linya Tui, was far too mighty in its authority.

I fear that even other Supreme Venerables would not shield Xuepao.

And Heijian’s current strength had not yet reached the Great Ultimate Truth; he could not change the outcome at all.

Ziyuan Xiaolu said anxiously, “I hope so.”

Just then, Ziyuan Daxue beside her could not help but speak: “To be honest, I am not worried about Xuepao’s safety. She rose from a mortal in the lower realms to overturn the Three Thousand Worlds—her fortunes are unimaginable, and she must have many hidden cards.

Besides… she is hiding inside Tiankun Qidi; Taihuang Palace cannot do anything to her for a while.”

Ziyuan Daxue had not seen the Ancestor, but had met other Yang spirit Heavenly Lords and gained a deeper understanding of Tiankun Qidi.

“Rather than worry about her, we should worry about ourselves. I fear… if Taihuang Palace acts without scruples, they might use our Ziyuan Heaven to threaten her out.”

Ziyuan Daxue voiced the thought in her heart.

Taihuang Palace, though one of the top three sacred lands in the Sixth Heaven, should not have their shamelessness underestimated.

They were capable of anything.

“This…” Ziyuan Xiaolu’s face grew even paler. “I will never become a pawn for Taihuang Palace to coerce Senior Brother Xuepao. If Taihuang Palace comes, I would rather die!”

At that moment, beyond the canopy of Ziyuan Heaven, Ziyuan Zu listened to the exchange of Ziyuan Daxue and the younger generation, a helpless expression on his face.

He knew all too well what Ziyuan Daxue had said.

Thus, after Qi Yuan fled to the outside of Tiankun Qidi, he had gone nowhere except to meet the Abyss Lord.

Just then, a ripple passed through the space.

Heijian appeared in a black robe, bearing an air of refinement, his expression slightly changed from before—a touch more solemn.

Seeing Heijian, Ziyuan Zu hurried forward and asked, “How did it go?”

Heijian shook his head and said slowly, “I went to Biluo Heaven, but that Heavenly Lord would not see me.”

Biluo Heaven had the best relations with the Black Demon Abyss.

If the Black Demon Abyss sought outside aid, Biluo Heaven was the best choice.

Within Biluo Heaven, there was a Supreme Venerable stationed.

Hearing this, Ziyuan Zu had already guessed the outcome, but still felt disappointment in his heart.

“The Heavenly Lord of Biluo Heaven is unwilling to intervene, and Moon Goddess Yuanjun will certainly not lend a hand… Alas, this situation is dire.” Ziyuan Zu sighed.

“The White Dragon Abyss Lord did say she could secretly go to Tiankun Qidi once,” Heijian mused.

Ziyuan Zu’s eyes lit up.

“She is willing to leave a bloodline for Xuepao,” Heijian continued.

The light in Ziyuan Zu’s eyes vanished in that instant.

“Absurd!” Did he want Xuepao’s offspring? He wanted Xuepao to live.

“The other sacred lands also refuse to see me. As for the Ultimate Truth Society…” Heijian’s gaze grew complicated. “If Xuepao would split a wisp of his soul and a drop of his essence blood for them, they would be willing to act as mediators and shield Xuepao.”

Hearing this, Ziyuan Zu’s heart grew heavy.

At such a realm, splitting one’s soul and essence blood for other cultivators was tantamount to opening everything to the other party, leaving no defenses.

How could Xuepao ever agree?

If it were Ziyuan Zu, he would not agree either.

“Is there no other way?” Ziyuan Zu asked.

Heijian took a deep breath: “Inside Tiankun Qidi, the lingering soul of Canpao is there; Junior Brother Xuepao should be safe.”

He then looked at Ziyuan Zu: “During this time, you must be careful and not leave Ziyuan Heaven casually.

If… things become impossible… go to Tiankun Qidi.”

Heijian’s words carried a warning.

He already knew that Ziyuan Zu had gone to seek the Abyss Lord.

But the Abyss Lord’s decision was beyond his power.

“Mm.” Ziyuan Zu nodded.

Just then, suddenly, a streak of light descended.

“Senior Brother Heijian, calamity has struck the Black Demon Realm—evil heretics are springing up everywhere. Please return to the Black Demon Realm at once to suppress the demons!” The speaker was a Yang spirit of Ultimate Truth, his face urgent. “What? Trouble in the Black Demon Realm?” Even the usually calm Heijian grew anxious.

The Black Demon Realm was a Creation Treasure.

This Creation Treasure was not an offensive one, but it was the most precious Creation Treasure in the Black Demon Abyss.

For countless beings of the Black Demon Abyss had emerged from the Black Demon Realm.

If anything went wrong with the Black Demon Realm, all those with blood ties to the Black Demon Abyss would see their bloodlines decline.

At the last assembly, it was decided that Heijian would govern the Black Demon Abyss, and now the Black Demon Realm was also under his watch.

Problems in the Black Demon Realm, no matter great or small, he must hasten into it to resolve them.

The panic on his face flickered away, and Black Sword said to that Ultimate Principle Yang God, “I am returning now.”

As he spoke, he glanced at Ziyuan Ancestor: “Take care, be cautious in all things, wait until I emerge from the Black Demon Realm before we speak further.”

Black Sword finished speaking and vanished along with that Ultimate Principle Yang God.

In Ziyuan Heaven, only Ziyuan Ancestor remained; he gazed at the location of Tiankun Wonderland, then looked back at Ziyuan Heaven, his expression complex.

“A storm is brewing!”

After about half an hour, he let out a faint sigh.

“Not brewing, but… already here.”

At that moment, an aged voice suddenly rang out above Ziyuan Heaven.

A terrifying pressure descended, like black clouds pressing down upon the city.

Ziyuan Ancestor looked up, his figure suddenly straightening—where was the stooped posture he had once shown at the foot of the Black Demon Mountain?

His eyes shot forth sharp light.

“Sheng Wuming, you have come!”

Sheng Wuming was none other than the name of the Abyss Lord.

In the void, Sheng Wuming’s form did not appear; only a layer of black clouds could be seen.

“You… are too greedy, too… cowardly. Had I known this day would come, I would never have let you have the chance to achieve the Offensive Creation Divine Treasure back then!” Ziyuan Ancestor said through gritted teeth, staring at the void.

Back then, the Black Demon Abyss faced a crisis, and the entire clan was trapped in peril.

Both Ziyuan Ancestor and Sheng Wuming had the opportunity to achieve an Offensive Creation Divine Treasure.

And Ziyuan Ancestor was one step ahead of Sheng Wuming, so his chance was greater.

But the resources of the Black Demon Abyss were simply insufficient to support the emergence of two Offensive Creation Divine Treasures.

Under such circumstances, Sheng Wuming betrayed his disciple Ziyuan Ancestor, thus achieving his own Offensive Creation Divine Treasure.

Relying on that Offensive Creation Divine Treasure, Sheng Wuming saved the situation of the Black Demon Abyss.

“Ziyuan Ancestor, you… value bonds and righteousness too much; you simply do not understand… that the most important thing in this world is the power held in one’s hands.” Sheng Wuming’s voice was aged. “I do not regret betraying you back then. If I could go back to the past, I would do it even more perfectly.

With your nature, if you had refined the Offensive Creation Divine Treasure and become the Lord of the Black Demon Abyss,

how could the Black Demon Abyss… have achieved today’s prosperity?

The Black Demon Abyss would likely not even be among the top ten realms!

Even more, during this Lin Ya Molt, the Black Demon Abyss would have been ruined by your hands!”

In the Sixth Heaven, aside from the sacred lands guarded by Supreme Venerables, the Black Demon Abyss’s overall strength ranked first.

Ziyuan Ancestor’s face was filled with fury and murderous intent.

A half-finished Offensive Creation Divine Treasure appeared, and the aura on his body suddenly surged, rising to a terrifying height.

Sheng Wuming’s voice was aged and indifferent: “You befriend everyone everywhere, but this time… Blood Robe is in trouble, and even… I have descended upon Ziyuan Heaven—has anyone come to help you?”

“Hmph!” Ziyuan Ancestor snorted coldly, unwilling to speak with Sheng Wuming.

“How about we make a wager… whether Blood Robe will leave Tiankun Wonderland for your sake, for Ziyuan Heaven’s sake.” Sheng Wuming spoke, his expression calm.

He was not afraid that Ziyuan Ancestor would break through the encirclement and flee.

First, outside Ziyuan Heaven, he had secretly laid an inescapable net.

Second, he was certain of Ziyuan Ancestor’s character—he would not abandon the clansmen of Ziyuan Heaven.

In Sheng Wuming’s eyes, this was stubbornness and stupidity, being coerced by his own so-called morality.

If it were Sheng Wuming, if the clansmen were lost, so be it.

As long as he himself lived, that meant the clan still existed.

Ziyuan Ancestor’s expression was complex.

He naturally understood that Sheng Wuming was using him and Ziyuan Heaven to coerce Blood Robe.

To some extent, his thoughts were tangled.

On one hand, he hoped Blood Robe would prioritize the greater good and not fall for Taihuang Palace’s scheme; on the other hand, he hoped Blood Robe was not the kind of heartless person.

“Sheng Wuming, who do you think you are to speak so arrogantly? This is Ziyuan Heaven, my home ground—who wins and who loses… is still unknown!”

Ziyuan Ancestor’s figure suddenly grew enormous, and in Ziyuan Heaven, a terrifying aura swept through.

He possessed the Great Principle Moment; even if Sheng Wuming had an Offensive Creation Divine Treasure, he could not kill him.

And this was Ziyuan Heaven, his home ground; at most, he would suffer some injuries, nothing to worry about.

And these things, Blood Robe should surely know, weighing the pros and cons, and would not be coerced by Taihuang Palace.

“Kill!”

“Do you truly think I cannot kill you?” A profound expression appeared on Sheng Wuming’s face. “It’s just that… the Lin Ya Molt has not yet begun. If you die, you cannot enter the Unique Hall… that would be too wasteful.”

As Sheng Wuming spoke, a drop of blood suddenly appeared in his hand.

Seeing that drop of blood, Ziyuan Ancestor’s expression changed drastically: “Root Demon Blood… so it was you!”

What Sheng Wuming held in his hand was none other than Root Demon Blood.

Back then, Black Sword was attacked by Root Demon Blood, and there was a hidden hand behind it.

Ziyuan Ancestor had suspected the Abyss Lord but dared not believe it.

After all, if Black Sword was strong, the Black Demon Abyss was strong.

But now it seemed that the Abyss Lord… was indeed that hidden hand.

This scene was especially absurd.

It was like… why would the emperor rebel?

…

Outside Tiankun Wonderland.

True Origin Heavenly Venerable received the news, a smile spreading across his face.

These past days, he had been trading insults with Qi Yuan.

But the other party’s time flowed quickly, so he could insult and do other things at the same time.

This made him very unhappy.

But for the sake of Taihuang Palace’s face, he could only suppress his displeasure.

Now, he looked into Tiankun Wonderland, his spirits lifted: “Ten Suns Heavenly Venerable, if you do not come out soon, by the time you go to Ziyuan Heaven… I fear you will find nothing but ruins.”

Inside Tiankun Wonderland, Qi Yuan’s expression was calm: “Your Supreme Venerable is here, your high-end combat power is here—do you still have the strength to trouble Ziyuan Heaven?”

Now, outside Tiankun Wonderland, the Great Sun had not appeared, but his attention was always fixed here.

The other high-end combatants of Taihuang Palace also kept a close watch on Tiankun Wonderland, fearing that the Ultimate Principle might intervene.

This means that Taihuang Palace does not have many high-end combatants heading to Ziyuan Heaven.

To kill Ziyuan Ancestor, a Supreme must make a move.

"The Black Abyss Lord has already promised a Supreme to strike at Ziyuan Heaven, and now... the battle has begun."

As True Origin Heavenly Lord spoke, he waved his hand, and a scene appeared in the void.

In the image, two terrifying forces seemed to be locked in combat, one side gaining the upper hand, while the one on the losing side... Qi Yuan recognized it well—it was Ziyuan Ancestor.

"Ziyuan Ancestor possesses the Great Principle Engraving; even this Abyss Lord probably cannot kill him.

Old man, for my sake... you'll suffer some injuries. Hard work. Don't worry, I'll avenge you!" Qi Yuan said lazily, seemingly unmoved.

True Origin Heavenly Lord was not surprised by Qi Yuan's reply. He narrowed his eyes, a hint of mockery in his voice: "What if the Abyss Lord... has Root Demon Blood?"

"What?" Qi Yuan's face changed at just the right moment, his acting at its peak.

Of course, this actually caught him off guard.

He had long considered that Taihuang Palace might use Ziyuan Heaven to coerce him.

But he wasn't worried—if that Supreme of Taihuang Palace didn't act, Ziyuan Ancestor would be safe.

Wasn't that Supreme watching him?

How could he leave?

Root Demon Blood truly took him by surprise.

He already knew that Ziyuan Ancestor had been suppressing his strength to delay the arrival of the Root Demon Calamity.

If Root Demon Blood triggered that calamity, given Ziyuan Ancestor's current state, he might very well fall.

"Hmph, Root Demon Calamity or not, the old man has a calamity in his fate." Qi Yuan said dismissively, continuing his act.

In truth, he was a bit annoyed.

It was still because his strength was too weak.

Otherwise, why bother playing house with these Taihuang Palace people? Why not just throw a punch and scatter the dark clouds?

"Ten Suns Heavenly Lord, why deceive yourself?" True Origin Heavenly Lord said flatly. "If you don't come out, the Root Demon Blood will be used. By the time you emerge, what you'll see will likely be Ziyuan Ancestor's corpse!"

Meanwhile, in the Sixth Heaven, countless eyes watched this scene through various miraculous treasures.

"This Taihuang Palace... is shameless, using Ziyuan Ancestor to coerce him!"

"If Taihuang Palace cared about face, how could they have obtained the permission of the Sole Pavilion?"

"This... Ten Suns Heavenly Lord is to be pitied!"

"This situation is hard to break!" a Great Principle sighed. "Even if Ten Suns Heavenly Lord doesn't emerge now, given the strength of that Supreme from Taihuang Palace, he could probably find a way to enter the Strange Land and slay Ten Suns Heavenly Lord with lightning speed."

"Ten Suns Heavenly Lord's talent is too astonishing. Who would have thought that someone from the lower realms could single-handedly overturn the Three Thousand Worlds?

Moreover, he secretly annihilated the Mara Clan and brought them under his control.

And he has comprehended two Supreme Principles—such a prodigy, the Immortal Realm has likely only seen this one!"

"That Supreme of Taihuang Palace will not sit by and let him grow. Who knows... to what extent he might develop?"

"Alas, perhaps the Mandate of Heaven truly lies with Taihuang Palace. Otherwise, if Taihuang Palace hadn't presided over the Linya Molt and failed to discover Ten Suns Heavenly Lord's identity, with his talent and brilliance, if he had lain low for millions of years, how could Taihuang Palace have dealt with him?"

Although the Supreme feared the Wraith of the Tattered Robe and dared not descend alone into the Celestial Kun Strange Land,

if given enough time to prepare, the Supreme could still descend into the Celestial Kun Strange Land and eradicate Ten Suns Heavenly Lord.

If it were other Great Principles with offensive miraculous treasures, killing them would be extremely difficult for a Supreme, perhaps even impossible.

But... Ten Suns Heavenly Lord has not yet condensed the Great Principle Engraving. No matter how astonishing his combat power—even able to suppress the Banner Lord—

once the Supreme acts, Ten Suns Heavenly Lord likely couldn't hold out for even a single breath.

Such is the terror of a Supreme.

It can be said that the Great Principle Engraving protects the lives of Great Principles,

making it difficult for a Supreme to slay them.

"Within three days, if you do not come out... the Root Demon Blood will be used!" True Origin Heavenly Lord declared, his voice cold.

He placed a difficult dilemma before Qi Yuan.

All the powerful beings watched this place, seemingly curious about Qi Yuan's reaction.

"I... hate it most when others force me."

Qi Yuan said, the lazy air about him vanishing.

He looked at True Origin Heavenly Lord and stepped forward one pace at a time.

"How about we switch? Let me force Taihuang Palace... to make a choice?" Qi Yuan said calmly, his voice spreading in all directions.

"Ridiculous! Ten Suns Heavenly Lord, what leverage do you have to force Taihuang Palace to choose?"

"Now you are trapped here; death is merely a matter of time."

"You, worthy of threatening Taihuang Palace?"

The Yang Gods of Taihuang Palace sneered or mocked.

They simply did not believe that the Blood-Robed One had any means to threaten them.

A Supreme... represents invincibility.

"Really?"

A strange smile appeared on Qi Yuan's face.

"Open your eyes wide and see... what is this?"

With Qi Yuan's voice, suddenly, a primordial, profound, and innate aura spread across heaven and earth.

This aura seemed to contain the principles of the universe and all the rules of the world.

And these rules and principles... were entwined around a door!

What kind of door was that?

Incomprehensible yet sacred and majestic.

Illusory as a dream yet truly existing.

It stood in the void, and the moment it appeared, it became the sole protagonist of the world.

"The Gate of Principles—this is the Gate of Principles!" a voice trembled, mixed with fervor.

"This aura, without a doubt, this is the Gate of Principles!"

"The first miraculous treasure of the Immortal Realm, the Gate of Principles!" a Great Principle exclaimed in ecstasy.

"The Gate of Principles!" Even the Supreme's heart quivered at this moment.

This was the Gate of Principles!

The foremost miraculous treasure of the Immortal Realm!

Whoever obtains it—let the floods rage, let the Linya Molt come—hide within the Gate of Principles for a million years, then emerge... who in the world could stand against them?

"Yes, this is the Gate of Ultimate Truth," Qi Yuan said, his voice calm.

For Qi Yuan, it was the Gate of Myriad Distinctions, but for the beings of the Immortal Realm, it was the Gate of Ultimate Truth.

"Great Sun Supreme, you must have seen this Gate of Ultimate Truth as well, right?" Qi Yuan's voice was steady, a smile on his face. "In a moment, I will enter this Gate of Ultimate Truth and cultivate for a few million years. When I emerge, I will come to your Taihuang Palace to settle accounts.

You'd better work hard—don't let yourselves die before I come out of the Gate of Ultimate Truth."

Hearing this, a flicker of panic passed through True Origin Heavenly Sovereign's eyes.

No matter how much he thought, he never imagined that Ten Suns Heavenly Sovereign possessed the Gate of Ultimate Truth.

Seeing this, he was utterly shocked and bewildered.

He wanted to say, "Friend, if you had the Gate of Ultimate Truth, why didn't you say so earlier?" Or, "Why not just go into seclusion in the Gate of Ultimate Truth for a few million years, then come out—wouldn't the position of Great Sun be yours?"

Why wander outside when you're weak and provoke Taihuang Palace?

"Ten Suns Heavenly Sovereign, do you truly abandon your friends and family in Purple Fate Heaven?" True Origin Heavenly Sovereign threatened again.

His voice was loud, but lacked conviction.

If it were him, or anyone else, they would likely abandon Purple Fate Heaven and enter the Gate of Ultimate Truth.

At that moment, in Purple Fate Heaven, Purple Fate Ancestor suddenly burst into laughter: "See that? Blood Robe has the Gate of Ultimate Truth. Saint Wuming... you're going to die, and Taihuang Palace will be destroyed. Haha, how satisfying!"

Though locked in battle, both Purple Fate Ancestor and Saint Wuming had a sliver of their consciousness watching the scene outside Tiankun Strange Land.

Now, Blood Robe revealing the Gate of Ultimate Truth shook the Six Heavens.

This tremor surpassed even the moment when Blood Robe's radiance was like an ocean during the inspection of the myriad realms.

It was easy to understand.

Translated to Blue Star, if a pregnant woman suddenly gave birth to a child with ten heads, versus the sudden appearance of an elixir of immortality—which would the old codgers care about more?

Clearly, the Gate of Ultimate Truth tugged at the hearts of countless beings across the Six Heavens.

Saint Wuming's expression shifted repeatedly.

This turn of events had also caught him off guard.

Purple Fate Ancestor desperately wanted to send a telepathic message to Qi Yuan, telling him not to worry about Purple Fate Heaven and to enter the Gate of Ultimate Truth.

Meanwhile, outside Tiankun Strange Land.

Qi Yuan looked at True Origin Heavenly Sovereign, his voice calm: "What I hate most is others forcing me, because I was born with a rebellious bone.

Just now, you forced me. Now, I force you."

As Qi Yuan spoke, his gaze turned to the great sun above his head.

"Great Sun Supreme, do you dare follow me into the Gate of Ultimate Truth?

Inside the Gate of Ultimate Truth, I have laid countless traps, waiting for you to enter.

If you don't enter, I'll have to go in myself. After a million years, when I come out... by then... I'm afraid... you'll all be dead?

Now, the only chance for survival lies in your hands. Do you dare enter the Gate of Ultimate Truth!"

Qi Yuan stood before the Gate of Ultimate Truth, composed, a smile on his face.

All the Great Principles and Yang Gods who heard this voice were stunned.

They never imagined that Qi Yuan would dare to force Great Sun Supreme into... the Gate of Ultimate Truth.

How could he be so bold?

After all, even if he set up a net of traps inside the Gate of Ultimate Truth, what use were schemes and tricks against Great Sun's absolute power?

Was Ten Suns Heavenly Sovereign handing over the Gate of Ultimate Truth as a gift?

But... these Great Principles were baffled.

Ten Suns Heavenly Sovereign was no fool; he knew this well. There must be... some scheme.

"One step to heaven, one step to hell." Qi Yuan's figure slowly moved outside Tiankun Strange Land. "Great Sun Supreme, do you dare follow me... into this hell?

Or will you wait here in agony for a million years, and then let me send you to hell with my own hands?"

As his words fell, Qi Yuan and the Gate of Ultimate Truth appeared outside Tiankun Strange Land.

Without any hesitation, Qi Yuan plunged headlong into the Gate of Ultimate Truth.

And the Gate of Ultimate Truth before them rapidly grew ethereal, as if it would vanish in the next breath.

Countless cultivators and Great Principles held their breath, as if trying to discern what Great Sun would do.

The Supremes watching this scene took a deep breath, already knowing the answer in their hearts.

If it were them, no matter who, at this moment, they would likely enter the Gate of Ultimate Truth.

First, because of Ten Suns Heavenly Sovereign's coercion and threat; second, as Supremes, who wasn't confident in themselves, unafraid of schemes; third, that was the Gate of Ultimate Truth, the number one transformative treasure of the Immortal Realm!

But then, within the Six Heavens, the Gate of Ultimate Truth slowly faded, and a great sun, with unmatched momentum, plunged into the Gate of Ultimate Truth in the final instant.

In an instant, the sky went dark, and the aura of the Gate of Ultimate Truth vanished at that moment.

Countless eyes stared at the scene outside Tiankun Strange Land, their expressions profound.

Because... the turn of events had completely exceeded their expectations.

If Great Sun Supreme mastered the Gate of Ultimate Truth, the Six Heavens would truly change—becoming a one-man rule under Great Sun Supreme.

Others were filled with doubt and unease: How could Ten Suns Heavenly Sovereign dare to reveal the Gate of Ultimate Truth and invite a wolf into the house!

At this moment, countless cultivators' hearts pounded, as if waiting for an outcome.

They knew they wouldn't have to wait long.

Because, with a Supreme's strength, dealing with a being who had not yet grasped the Principle of the Great Ultimate was as easy as flipping a hand to suppress them.
