Instantly, the Primordial Demon sensed it, its demonic energy-churning eyes quaking, as if a boundless dark force, like a black lotus, bloomed—exquisite and perilous.
"Hahaha, my lord descends, the plan can be realized. Primordial Heavenly Dao, thank you for the gift. I hope you can return alive to the present world."
The Primordial Demon laughed madly, its figure then shattering, dissipating into wisps of purple mist towards an unknown place.
"Damn, damn, you are all parasites, scum."
The Primordial Heavenly Dao roared with fury, summoning myriad judgment phenomena. The entire Grandmist Great World instantly became dilapidated, its space cracking inch by inch.
Mu Changqing did not continue to attack. Beings at this level were all cunning old foxes.
Scheming for endless eons, and being the most powerful beings beneath the Heavenly Dao, it was not difficult to understand their heaven-defying and bizarre methods.
Therefore, Mu Changqing did not press the attack.
He was not afraid of beings like the Human Ancestor, no matter how they transformed.
Giving them time to transform and grow stronger, no matter how many myriad methods they possessed, Mu Changqing could suppress them with a single sword.
Instead, it was the Primordial Heavenly Dao that was enraged.
The schemes of the Human Ancestor and others were all plundering its resources; how could it willingly accept this?
"Damn, damn, you all deserve to die. Who else? Who else is plotting against me?"
Within the Primordial Heavenly Dao's eyes, like a celestial abyss, supreme Grandmist truth flickered. In its rage, the entire Grandmist Great World descended into an apocalypse. The black great world cracked inch by inch, shattering into countless worlds.
At this very moment, the Ancient Heavenly Emperor's figure flickered, appearing and disappearing, boundless heavenly might erupting, illuminating the paths of past, present, and future.
A road paved with endless heavenly soldiers emerged from the unknown, guiding the Ancient Heavenly Emperor's figure.
The Ancient Heavenly Emperor's body underwent extreme sublimation, and his figure faded away.
"I am the spokesperson for the Spiritual Ancestor. Primordial Heavenly Dao, do you truly think they would completely abandon you after exiling you? Since a mistake has been made, it must be rectified promptly."
As he spoke, the Ancient Heavenly Emperor's figure completely faded, transforming into wisps of Grandmist purple energy heading towards the unknown.
And deep within the dark turbulent flow, the Spiritual Ancestor's figure emerged, receiving his final preparations.
Although he belonged to the Grandmist Heavenly Dao's faction, for beings at this level, choosing a faction was not that important.
With his strength, he did not need to subservient to anyone.
It was just that the Grandmist Heavenly Dao could offer him sufficient benefits, so having his name listed in the Heavenly Dao faction was a win-win situation.
Finally, the Buddha Ancestor's brow twitched. The originally solemn Buddha statue instantly flashed a trace of lewdness, and his face became shifty-eyed.
"Alas, I've been pretending for too long. I'm done pretending, I'll lay my cards on the table. I am the spokesperson for the Dao Ancestor. Heh heh, goodbye, Primordial Heavenly Dao."
Primordial Heavenly Dao: ...
As he spoke, the Buddha Ancestor's golden body directly exploded, turning into dust. Wisps of terrifying purple energy pierced through the dark starry sky, heading towards the unknown.
"Emperor Burial, my lord awaits your return in the present world."
With that, the Buddha Ancestor's figure completely vanished.
Leaving only the Primordial Heavenly Dao's abyssal eyes, nurturing endless lightning and fury.
Mu Changqing naturally paid no mind to the Primordial Heavenly Dao's thoughts at this moment. Instead, he looked somewhat speechlessly in the direction where the Buddha Ancestor had disappeared.
After a long while, Mu Changqing couldn't help but shake his head and laugh.
"This old fellow hid himself quite deeply. While others could more or less guess the connection between them, this one... completely exceeded normal human comprehension."
That the Dao Ancestor had secretly made the Buddha Ancestor his spokesperson was something no one would have imagined; it was truly unbelievable.
And at this moment, deep within the dark turbulent flow, a somewhat lewd figure appeared, poking at his pale Daoist robe.
The Dao Ancestor cautiously scanned his surroundings. After confirming there was no danger, he stopped, coughed, and shook his slightly hunched body.
"I wonder when that fellow Emperor Burial will return. These guys are truly wicked-hearted, tossing Emperor Burial into the Primordial Era, to the Primordial Heavenly Dao, and stopping our plans in passing. Such wicked intentions."
The Dao Ancestor muttered curses, then activated the Grand Dao array diagram, transforming into Yin-Yang Bagua, suppressing myriad stars, and ushering in his own plans.
"Heh heh, twin innate origins, Dao and Buddha. I'll change my name to Dao-Buddha Ancestor from now on."
The Dao Ancestor whispered to himself. From beginning to end, he had hidden himself very deeply.
Even when facing Mu Changqing, he had not betrayed him, but he had not fully revealed his trump cards.
Therefore, even if Mu Changqing was unwilling to help him, he could still return to his peak through the ultimate post-mortem, by rebuilding the Three Thousand Great Daos.
At this moment, as the endless supreme Great Daos transformed into towering Grand Daos, dark turbulent flows seeped out, and golden light was drawn in, returning to the present world.
The Dao Ancestor's somewhat lewd face gradually turned solemn, his aura undergoing an extreme transformation.
His aura rapidly climbed. In just a few breaths, the Dao Ancestor's aura broke free from the shackles of all beings and entered the Heaven-Peeking Realm.
"The plans for the present world, the curtain is opening. The Innate Dao Fruit, return to me."
After speaking lightly, nine strands of Grandmist purple energy, imbued with golden light, entered the Dao Ancestor's body.
Instantly, the extremely terrifying turbulent flow, which made innate beings wary and fearful, avoiding it at all costs, was calmed by the residual power emanating from the Dao Ancestor. All dark, unknown spaces seemed to possess their own Dao laws and order at this moment.
"Come, endless eons of planning, how can it end in mere the Heaven-Peeking Realm? We beings are born to cultivate against heaven, to be bestowed divinity, to control our own destiny. Divine Mandate Heaven-Defying Realm, break!"
In an instant, the Dao Ancestor's aura underwent an extreme transformation. The Yin-Yang Dao Fruit and the golden Sanskrit scripture merged into one.
His body seemed to be both Dao and Buddha, his dual innate origins merging into one, sublimating to the extreme.
Around him, time flowed, and eternity pulsed.
Transcendence of all beings, breaking through Heaven-Peeking.
Now, the Dao Ancestor's plans of endless eons had finally culminated in the Divine Mandate Heaven-Defying Realm.
Moreover, due to the dual origins, the Dao Ancestor's methods were even more bizarre and terrifying, more powerful than ordinary beings in the Divine Mandate Heaven-Defying Realm.
Vaguely, the Dao Ancestor touched the level of karma and destiny. Although he had not transcended karma and destiny, he was no longer afraid of them.
Currently, in the entire world, besides Mu Changqing, no one could kill him.
Simultaneously, the Human Ancestor, the Demon Ancestor, and the Spiritual Ancestor were all undergoing extreme transformations, rapidly breaking through to the Heaven-Peeking Realm and entering the Divine Mandate Heaven-Defying Realm.
However, this realm had already reached the ultimate of the world, true immortality, beyond the reach of the Heavenly Dao.
Although there were distinctions in strength, they could only be suppressed and exiled through powerful means.
Terrifying beams of light pierced the sky, shaking the past and future, the river of time. All beings in any spacetime could perceive everything.
They looked up at the heavens, sensing a power that surpassed all comprehension, a power that shook the ages.
The present worlds, all had a sense of this. They simultaneously felt that terrifying power, trembling uncontrollably.
In the present worlds, the strongest at this time was none other than the Heavenly Emperor Zhang Fanchen of the Heavenly Court.
His cultivation had undergone a terrifying transformation, half-stepping into the Great Dao Realm.
Yet, sensing these few powers that transcended comprehension, his heart was filled with nothing but despair and fear.
Mu Changqing narrowed his purple eyes. He had already found the path back to the present world.
However, he was not in a hurry. Instead, he looked with interest at the enraged, abyssal eyes in the dark sky and said with a light laugh.
"These fellows are truly old foxes, carving you up until you are incomplete."
The Primordial Heavenly Dao heard this, and a terrifying, boundless divine radiance flashed in its abyssal eyes. Its voice, filled with immense pressure, resounded.
"Emperor Burial, the path of return has opened. Why do you not return to the present world?"
Upon hearing this, Mu Changqing shook his head and said indifferently.
"No rush. The others have made many plans and gained considerable benefits. The remainder should be mine."
As he spoke, Mu Changqing exhaled a wisp of misty purple flame, and a trace of evil, forbidden aura emanated from his eyes.
