It's a Dao Zenithel-level attack! Wu Yuan instantly sensed the tremendous power imbued within the misty light. His Dao cultivation had reached exceptional depths, granting him extraordinary perception. He could assess the attack with perfect clarity. In terms of Dao profundities, this misty light wasn't particularly sophisticated, likely less intricate than his own saber techniques. But compared to his ether body, the raw mana power it contained was terrifying. It's hundreds of times stronger! The attacker must be a Dao Zenithel. Despite his high Dao cultivation level, Wu Yuan had few options in this dire moment. The disparity in mana was simply too vast. He could only channel his full effort into activating his fully mastered Eternal Matter Body and invoking the Creation Origin Armor. Though his body refiner self had fully comprehended the Primordial Doctrine, forging a Xuanhuang Body required a Dao Zenithel-level Eternal Psyche, which was a threshold his ether body had yet to cross. Whoosh~ The misty light moved with bizarre swiftness, seemingly transcending spacetime itself. After piercing through Wu Yuan's defensive ultimate technique, Domain of the Abyss, it crashed into his towering divine body. Boom! It pierced through the Creation Origin Armor, where over 90% of its force was dissipated. Even with only its first level activated, the Creation Origin Armor's defense far surpassed Chaos Treasure battle armor. Crack! The remaining 10% of power violently tore through Wu Yuan's body. Countless cracks spread across his divine body, and blood gushed forth. Even his Eternal Matter Body couldn't withstand it completely. Nevertheless, it further weakened the remaining power by more than half. Finally, the minimal remaining force struck his Eternal Psyche. Though it caused numerous cracks to appear, it ultimately wasn't fatal. Wu Yuan's ether body could withstand dozens of such attacks. I survived? Wu Yuan was startled, yet filled with joy. Haha! Nice! This misty light should be comparable to a Peak Dao Zenithel’s attack, yet it could only wound me. Indeed, with the Creation Origin Armor, I can even withstand two or even three strikes from a Full Dao Zenithel. This was precisely why Wu Yuan dared to take such a risk. The phenomenal defensive capabilities of the Creation Origin Armor gave him confidence. Even in this worst-case scenario of teleporting close to an enemy Dao Zenithel, Wu Yuan had enough resilience to survive. Hum~ Not far from Wu Yuan's ether body, the void rippled as a figure shrouded in black mist appeared. It was Dao Zenithel Mo Wu, one of Ancestral Saint Eastmoon's subordinates. As the main faction targeting the Xuanhuang Dao Treasure, the ten Dao Zenithels of the Eastmoon Megaverse naturally struck with full force and no mercy. Dao Zenithel Jiu You arriving a beat slower was expected, as his power was slightly inferior to Dao Zenithel Mo Wu's.[1] However, the strongest among the three specialists in Spacetime, Dao Zenithel Wan Yu, didn’t attack Wu Yuan's ether body. He had already sensed Hou Tu's erupting aura. A strike at my full power failed to kill a mere True Saint? I didn't even gravely injure him! Dao Zenithel Mo Wu's eyes widened in disbelief. He had long heard of Wu Yuan's reputation and studied recordings of his battles. But in his view, anyone below the Dao Zenithel stage should fall with a single strike, regardless of their Dao cultivation level. The gap between Dao Zenithel and True Saint was like clouds and mud. No matter how incredibly powerful a True Saint was, they couldn't match a Dao Zenithel. History had no precedent for such an upset—not Hou Tu, not the Heavenly Imperator, and certainly not Wu Yuan. Yet relying on the Xuanhuang Dao Treasure's formidable defense, combined with his powerful physical resilience and robust Eternal Psyche, Wu Yuan's ether body now possessed the capacity to preserve his life when facing a Dao Zenithel. His Xuanhuang Dao Treasure is battle armor? The thought flashed through Dao Zenithel Mo Wu's mind. He didn't hesitate. The moment his first attack failed, he launched a second. Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Misty lights surged forth like tides of swords, bombarding Wu Yuan. Swish~ At the same moment, ripples spread through the void as blades pierced through, slashing toward Wu Yuan. Dao Zenithel Jiu You had arrived, a step late but no less deadly. Hum~ An invisible wave spread as a powerful soul fluctuation swept over him. “Sink in, sleep... When you awaken, everything will be fine.” A spell-like chant echoed in the depths of Wu Yuan's spirit. It was a psyche dream attack from Dao Zenithel Wan Yu. As a powerhouse skilled in Spacetime, he had constructed a Dream Universe. Though his Psyche Dream techniques weren't as profound as Eldritch Progenitor Hou Tu's or the Dream Emperor's, they remained formidable. I? Radiance burst from within Wu Yuan's ether body as the Ancestral Pagoda's projection bloomed with layers of light. The Dao resonance of his Eternal Psyche circulated, struggling to resist Dao Zenithel Wan Yu's soul attack. However, with the gap of an entire cultivation stage between them, this attack still caused his ether body to teeter on the brink of collapse. Even the soul defenses of the Ancestral Pagoda's projection had its limits. The fierce attacks from Dao Zenithel Mo Wu and Dao Zenithel Jiu You sent Wu Yuan's ether body flying backward. The cracks on his internal Eternal Psyche expanded as his injuries worsened. He was completely outmatched. Though Wu Yuan's ether body's defense was extraordinary, he was ultimately just a True Saint. Being able to endure this long was already unprecedented since the Primordium, a veritable miracle. "Just two or three more strikes and we can kill him." Dao Zenithel Jiu You was filled with anticipation. "We've already sealed off the surrounding spacetime." "Indeed, even if the Eldritch Court intends to rescue him, it's too late now," Dao Zenithel Mo Wu agreed. Their luck was exceptional; Wu Yuan had teleported extremely close to them, allowing them to unleash their full power simultaneously. But in the instant they attacked: "Wan Yu! Eastmoon! You're courting death!" An enraged voice thundered across heaven and earth. Boom! Eldritch Progenitor Hou Tu no longer concealed herself, finally erupting. No longer maintaining her usual amiability, her robes turned blood-red, her body rapidly expanding until she towered over a hundred million li. The Samsara Platform beneath her feet radiated blinding light. Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Streams of blood-colored light shot skyward from the Samsara Platform, its sharpness tearing through layers of void, blasting toward Wu Yuan's location. In terms of reaction speed, Eldritch Progenitor Hou Tu was unmatched. Those terrifying streaks of blood light caused the expressions of Dao Zenithel Jiu You and Dao Zenithel Mo Wu to falter. They could sense the horrifying power imbued within and couldn't help but recall the numerous legends surrounding this legendary figure. "You actually came? But you won't win today." Two voices rang out in succession. In the infinite void, a bright moon illuminated all, its lunar radiance spreading across space. Beneath the bright moon stood a towering figure. With a flip of his palm, he met Eldritch Progenitor Hou Tu's attack head-on. "It's the Ancestral Saint!" "Ancestral Saint Eastmoon." All the Dao Zenithels recognized this powerhouse. He was none other than Ancestral Saint Eastmoon, ranked twelfth on the Eternal Rankings. "Azure Lotus Blooms." In another part of the void, a slender figure appeared, standing atop an azure lotus platform. She possessed a stunning allure that could bewitch all living beings. Invisible fluctuations spread out from her, capable of causing countless True Saints to unconsciously drift into reverie. Phantom images of azure lotuses silently blossomed throughout the boundless void. The lotus leaves twisted and shredded spacetime as they tore toward those streaks of blood-colored light. "Dao Zenithel Bai Lian!" The hearts of the Eldritch Court Dao Zenithels tightened. Dao Zenithel Bai Lian was likewise renowned, ranking ninth on the Eternal Rankings. Apart from the top five, the gap between other Full Dao Zenithel powerhouses was minimal. They could all be considered hegemons of the cosmic sea. The leaders of the two great factions struck simultaneously, joining forces to attack Eldritch Progenitor Hou Tu, attempting to block her offensive. Rumble~ The two leader-level powerhouses, exerting their full strength, managed to obstruct the streaks of blood-colored light released from the Samsara Platform. If the opponent had been any other Dao Zenithel, this would have been considered a despicable move. After all, these two both possessed immense power and status, and shouldn't need to team up against a single individual. However, when their opponent was Eldritch Progenitor Hou Tu, everyone found it reasonable. Even Ancestral Saint Eastmoon and Dao Zenithel Bai Lian didn't find it below them. "You two think you can block me? Truly laughable." Eldritch Progenitor Hou Tu's voice was cold, resonating through the ten directions of space, filled with dominance and majesty. This was the confidence of the strongest powerhouse of the cosmic sea, the pride of the supreme leader of the Eldritch Court. Whoosh~ Eldritch Progenitor Hou Tu took a single step forward, her blood-colored robes fluttering, revealing her tall and exquisitely beautiful figure. Boom! Spacetime collapsed as her speed transcended time and space itself, piercing through the entire expanse of void. Boom! In the next moment, Eldritch Progenitor Hou Tu struck. Those slender fingers shone with a light that filled the Dao Zenithels with despair, illuminating the boundless void. Boom! Boom! Boom! Six enormous wheels of light manifested, piercing through the void of myriad ages, their power limitless. The pressure gave all the Dao Zenithels a suffocating feeling. Whoosh! The wheels of light rotated, seemingly invincible as they swept forth, causing Ancestral Saint Eastmoon and Dao Zenithel Bai Lian's expressions to change. It was too heaven-defying. They had crossed swords with Eldritch Progenitor Hou Tu before, but had never witnessed such a terrifying version of her, as if she bore a blood feud against them. Rumble! The three leaders clashed in an instant. Layers of spacetime shattered. The six wheels of light swept across everything, causing the moon behind Ancestral Saint Eastmoon to explode, unleashing endless light in all directions. Immediately after, Dao Zenithel Bai Lian was sent flying backward, the azure lotuses in the void vanishing. In the blink of an eye, two great leaders had been defeated; a crushing loss that all observing Dao Zenithels found inconceivable. "How is this possible?" Ancestral Saint Eastmoon gritted his teeth, his hair disheveled and robes torn. "She's grown even stronger," Dao Zenithel Bai Lian said, her voice tinged with panic, having lost all semblance of grace and purity. They both knew they were no match for Eldritch Progenitor Hou Tu. But in their estimation, they should have been able to hold out for some time, long enough for this battle to conclude. Never did they imagine they would be defeated in an instant. Without a doubt, Eldritch Progenitor Hou Tu, who had not displayed her strength for ages, had grown even stronger. This was utterly horrifying. She had long stood at the pinnacle of Dao Zenithels, and her ultimate technique, the Six Paths of Samsara, had subtly transcended the level of Dao Zenithels long ago, stepping into another realm entirely. Standing at the apex, with no path forward—how incredibly difficult was it to make further breakthroughs? That was an obscure and unfathomable road. Under such circumstances, Eldritch Progenitor Hou Tu's strength actually improved? How terrifying indeed. "Defeating two Full Dao Zenithel powerhouses in a single move?" Dao Zenithel Fu You, Eldritch Progenitor Zhu Rong, and Eldritch Progenitor Gong Gong were all shocked. They too hadn't imagined Eldritch Progenitor Hou Tu's strength would reach such heights. Is this the true might of the strongest powerhouse in the cosmic sea? Wu Yuan's body refiner self watched with blood-boiling excitement. How domineering and tyrannical. Combined with the Samsara Platform, this is the true Six Paths of Samsara! Understanding dawned on Wu Yuan. At Frostheaven Peak, he had obtained numerous Dao Zenithel ultimate techniques, even acquiring the Five Moves of Destruction. Eldritch Progenitor Hou Tu had also demonstrated the Six Paths of Samsara to him multiple times. Previously, he had harbored a hint of doubt. But witnessing Eldritch Progenitor Hou Tu unleash her full power today, with six wheels of light overpowering myriad Daos, Wu Yuan truly began to grasp the core principles of this move. He couldn't help but admire her strength. A self-created Dao’s ultimate technique could only unleash its full strength only when wielded by its creator. At the very least, among the many Dao Zenithel ultimate techniques I've seen, none compare to this move of Eldritch Progenitor Hou Tu's. Wu Yuan thought to himself. Though it seemed to unfold slowly, the exchange transpired in an instant. Whoosh~ Eldritch Progenitor Hou Tu's killing intent soared to the heavens, six wheels of light illuminating the world. Streaks of blood-red light swept outwards, seemingly unstoppable, transcending all. None could stand against it. In the blink of an eye, Eldritch Progenitor Hou Tu had already approached Wu Yuan's ether body, bearing down on Dao Zenithel Jiu You and Dao Zenithel Mo Wu. "Hou Tu? This—" Follow current novᴇls on 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝✶𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖✶𝕟𝕖𝕥 These two Dao Zenithels felt a flicker of panic. Though they were Peak Dao Zenithel powerhouses, they were no match for Eldritch Progenitor Hou Tu. Most crucially, they still hadn't subdued Wu Yuan's ether body. Once Eldritch Progenitor Hou Tu drew near, all their efforts would be in vain. "Hou Tu, stop." At this critical moment, a weary sigh rippled through the void. 1. Dao Zenithel Jiu You = Immortal Eminence Jiu You from the Immortal Court ☜
