Chapter 567 The Power of Heavenly Dao! Trapped in a Spatial Rift

Buzz—

Silently, the No. 3 Great Thousand World opened up, completely enveloping the nearby starry sky.

It was like a giant net, waiting for this celestial being and the Heavenly Dao Saint to walk right into it.

But suddenly...

The god seemed to have received some kind of instruction; he was about to joyfully rush out of the spatial rift, but suddenly stopped.

"Sect Master, is there any danger ahead?"

Number 3 captured the celestial being transmitting a message into the Lesser Thousand Worlds, which was slightly regrettable.

As expected of a Dao Saint, he was able to sense the potential danger it brought.

The next moment.

A peculiar energy emerged from the spatial rift, attracting endless thunderbolts that caused it to gradually diminish, yet it never completely dissipated.

A faint consciousness emanated from the special energy: "Lu Tao's Great Thousand Worlds?"

"..."

Number 3 remained silent, too lazy to pay any attention to this Heavenly Dao Saint.

Number 3 suddenly made his move, unleashing a massive surge of the will of heaven and earth towards the void rift: "The lower realm is not a place for you, get out!"

Boom—

The moment the power of Heaven and Earth's will of Number 3 entered the void rift, it attracted the attention of the Heaven and Earth's will from the lower realm, and terrifying lightning struck down upon it.

but.

even so.

The power of number 3 also blasted into that god's body.

But in an instant, the supreme treasure on that god's body blocked the fatal blow for him. His body was maimed, but he did not perish.

However……

Faced with such overwhelming power, even with the assistance of a Dao Saint, he was still forced to fly backwards into the depths of the spatial rift.

"Damn it, how can the will of heaven and earth be so strong for a mere Great Thousand World like yours?"

The voice of Tianyu Daosheng came from that special energy, sounding very surprised, clearly not expecting this scene.

Lu Tao possessed the vast world; he had known this for a long time.

But in his view, this vast world couldn't even properly shield the cause and effect between Lu Tao and the Immortal Sect, so it was something he could easily perceive, and naturally there was nothing to fear.

Upon arriving in the lower realm, they found themselves trapped in a spatial rift by this vast world.

He was just one step away from entering the lower realm, but now he felt like there was an insurmountable chasm between them, which he found hard to accept.

"roll!"

The only response Tianyu Daosheng gave was "Get lost."

This enraged Tianyu Daosheng.

As a dignified Daoist saint, I have never been treated like this before; it is simply outrageous.

Tianyu Daosheng roared, "No matter how strong you are, you are nothing more than the will of heaven and earth. I will show you the power of the Heavenly Dao!"

The words fell.

The originally weak special energy suddenly expanded, surging towards Number 3 like the might of heaven.

This special energy is the Heavenly Dao Power that the Heavenly Dao Saint spoke of.

At the instant the power of the Heavenly Dao surged forth, the will of heaven and earth of both realms also acted in time, with various terrifying forces crashing down upon the Heavenly Dao power of the Heavenly Dao Saint.

Boom—

In an instant, before the power of Heaven's Dao could strike Number 3, it had already clashed with the power of the will of Heaven and Earth.

Suddenly, a world-destroying explosion erupted from the spatial rift.

boom!

The terrifying explosion surged toward Number 3.

Number 3 remained fearless, still opening its world to completely devour this destructive energy, along with the Heavenly Dao power that had not yet completely collapsed.

Boom boom boom!

In an instant, endless explosions occurred inside Number 3's body, as if to shatter the entire Number 3.

However……

Leaving aside No. 3's formidable defensive capabilities, its sheer power of the will of heaven and earth alone was enough to easily suppress the explosion.

Ultimately, the devastating explosion was extinguished at the edge of point 3.

"Huh? I can't sense my Heavenly Dao power?"

Within the spatial rift, Tianyu Daosheng was greatly surprised.

The power of Heaven is so great that even the will of Heaven and Earth in the God Realm would give it face, and it can easily connect the two realms to investigate everything.

As a result, his Heavenly Dao power, which had not yet completely dissipated, lost all contact with No. 3 after entering No. 3's body, and could not detect anything inside No. 3's body at all.

This greatly disappointed him.

He originally wanted to take this opportunity to see if Lu Tao and the Immortal Sect were inside Number 3.

The best course of action would be to use that sliver of Heavenly Dao power to enslave Lu Tao.

However, things did not turn out as planned.

This made him start to pay attention to number 3.

After just one tentative exchange, he knew that Number 3 was no ordinary person.

Number 3 said indifferently, "Get lost. With me here, you can't enter the lower realm."

"You bastard!"

Tianyu Daosheng was furious.

He was a dignified Dao Saint, yet the will of heaven and earth of this mere Great Thousand World repeatedly told him to get lost.

Even a Daoist saint couldn't stand it.

"I refuse to believe I can't cripple you!"

Tianyu Daosheng made another move, risking punishment from the will of both realms, and continued to use the power of the Heavenly Dao to attack Number 3.

Number 3 responded calmly.

Time and again, Tianyu Daosheng's attacks failed.

but……

Following Lu Tao's instructions, it deliberately feigned weakness, giving Tianyu Daosheng the illusion that he would eventually be able to shatter it and enter the lower realm.

It's all about stalling for time.

As long as Tianyu Daosheng can stay in the spatial rift, that's fine.

This way, he wouldn't appear in the lower realm, nor would he immediately return to the divine realm to find more helpers.

That's how it is.

The two sides were locked in a stalemate.

It seemed that neither side could defeat the other, but in reality, Tianyu Daosheng knew that it wouldn't take long, at most a few days, for him to break through the defenses of this Great Thousand World and enter the lower realm.

Sensing Tianyu Daosheng's persistence, Number 3 calmly played along with his act.

——

"So this special power is the power of the Heavenly Dao!"

Inside the cave, Lu Tao listened to Tianyu Daosheng's words and suddenly realized what he had just heard.

He had seen this kind of special power unleashed by Tianyu Daosheng many times, especially in the outer battlefields and the land of reincarnation.

He had been wondering before that this power was somewhat similar to the will of heaven and earth, but not entirely the same; it was a very strange power.

Now he finally understood that it was the will of Heaven!

"The Way of Heaven..."

Lu Tao's eyes revealed a strange look.

In that instant, many things came to mind.

He has even figured out the entire cultivation system of the divine realm.

I have some ideas about how to advance to the Dao Saint level in the future.

"Continue your cultivation!"

Lu Tao didn't think too much about it and continued his secluded cultivation.

While accompanying Tianyu Daosheng in his performance on the 3rd, I will strive to break through to the God Emperor realm as soon as possible.

Buzz!

As Lu Tao went into seclusion, endless spiritual energy from heaven and earth surged towards him once again, completely engulfing him.

From a distance, Lu Tao appeared to be at the center of a whirlpool.

He completely absorbed the abundant primordial energy of heaven and earth.

As time goes by.

In the blink of an eye, more than a thousand years have passed.

That day, Lu Tao was in seclusion cultivating when he suddenly received a message from the third Heavenly Will: "Sect Master, Tianyu Daosheng sensed something was wrong and returned to the God Realm."

Whoosh!

Lu Tao opened his eyes and sensed his cultivation level.

His true essence has reached the eighth level of the Divine Emperor realm, and he is not far from the perfection of the Divine Emperor realm.

It will take about another thousand years for him to reach the pinnacle of his cultivation.

"Yes, Dao Sheng's abilities are still powerful; he cannot be easily fooled."

Lu Tao was not surprised.

It's quite impressive that Number 3 managed to fool Tianyu Daosheng for more than two days.

He didn't expect Number 3 to be able to keep deceiving Tianyu Daosheng and keep him in the spatial rift forever.

Gaining more than two days is already very good.

Lu Tao instructed, "Ignore him, continue guarding the spatial node, and wait for my instructions later."

"Yes, Sect Master!"

Number 3 received the order and did not leave the spatial node, but continued to guard it.

Lu Tao ignored it and, after making his wish, remained in seclusion and continued his cultivation.

Buzz—

As Lu Tao continued his seclusion, absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and consuming royal-grade marrow cleansing pills, his true marrow also improved step by step.

Actually, compared to cultivating the physical body, Lu Tao's cultivation of the true essence is slower.

The reason for this lies in the issue of resources.

Cultivating the physical body also allows one to refine better elixirs for consumption, such as using imperial medicine to refine imperial pills.

But marrow cleansing cultivation won't work.

The main purpose is to improve one's aptitude with divine medicine. There are far too few of these in the God Realm, and the ones Lu Tao has can only raise one's aptitude to the level of an Emperor for the time being.

Compared to high-level divine medicines of the Emperor level, it is still somewhat inferior.

Fortunately, after upgrading the Marrow Cleansing Pill to the Divine Emperor Pill, the effect was quite good.

Even though it's slower compared to cultivating the physical body, the difference is still limited.

Buzz!

Lu Tao was completely immersed in cultivation, like a statue.

Nearly a thousand years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Seeing that the True Essence was just a little bit away from the Divine Emperor's Perfection, Lu Tao suddenly opened his eyes.

"Phew... Cultivating as a Divine Emperor is really not easy, but it'll be quick!"

Lu Tao took a deep breath, showing no displeasure, and got up to leave the cave, as well as the No. 3 Great Thousand World.

Buzz!

Lu Tao opened the Anywhere Door and stepped inside.

The next moment.

Lu Tao appeared in the desolate region.

Lu Tao instructed, "Number 3, envelop the desolate region and suppress the several God Emperors of the Tianyu Sect."

"Yes, Sect Master!"

Silently, the No. 3 Great Thousand World expanded, almost instantly enveloping the entire desolate region.

Without giving the six God Emperors of the Tianyu Sect any chance to react, he immediately imprisoned them all inside Number 3.

But the moment they were imprisoned in World 3, the six God Emperors realized what was happening.

With their expressions drastically changed, they all began to bombard the spatial barrier of Number 3.

However, it had absolutely no effect.

The six people immediately panicked and began to shout at each other, though their words were strong in appearance but weak in reality.

"Who dares to provoke my Tianyu Sect?"

"Aren't you going to let us out? Do you want to die?"

"Our Tianyu Sect Master is in the Desolate Region. Which senior is playing such a joke on us?"

...

However, their rebukes were met with the brutal suppression of the will of heaven and earth.

Buzz!

The terrifying will of heaven and earth descended upon the six people like an endless divine mountain, instantly causing the six incomparably powerful god emperors to grovel on the ground like dead dogs.

He has no dignity befitting a God Emperor.

He couldn't even move a finger, and his thoughts were completely frozen.

Whoosh!

Just then, the six of them suddenly saw a figure appear in front of them.

They didn't know Lu Tao, but they were able to sense his cultivation level, which surprised them greatly.

They thought he was some kind of Daoist saint.

I never imagined it would be a god-emperor.

But in the next instant, the six people were gripped by terror.

This was because after Lu Tao released his divine soul power, he also performed a series of hand seals.

As god emperors, their vision was naturally excellent, and they could tell at a glance that Lu Tao was preparing to enslave them.

If it were said that, without the will of heaven and earth, a mere god-emperor wanted to enslave them, the six of them would never believe it, even if they were beaten to death.

But given the will of Heaven and Earth, they could not help but be terrified.

Especially...

In that instant, the six of them thought of the Third Elder's demise.

The sect leader had previously told them that the Third Elder had been enslaved and his soul had dissipated, and even the sect leader, a Dao Saint, had not had time to rescue him.

The Third Elder is a Perfected God Emperor.

If even the Third Elder could be enslaved, then these six people were naturally no exception.

really……

Although the six men struggled frantically as Lu Tao prepared to enslave them, it was all in vain.

Under the suppression of the powerful will of heaven and earth of Number 3, the six people were completely powerless to resist.

Even though Lu Tao was just a mere Divine Emperor Perfection cultivator, he could easily enslave the six of them.

"Greetings, Master!"

The six enslaved men bowed respectfully to Lu Tao, their faces showing no reluctance or hatred; they had completely become Lu Tao's servants.

"Um!"

Lu Tao nodded slightly, feeling very satisfied.

With Number 3, dealing with these mere God Emperors is a piece of cake. Compared to the difficulty of dealing with Ji Yu and Elder Fu before, it is now undoubtedly countless times easier and simpler.

Lu Tao instructed, "Continue to protect the desolate region with your treasures. Do not allow any living beings to enter the desolate region, nor allow any Heavenly Dao power to enter or leave."

"Yes, Master!"

The six received their orders and, after being released by Number 3, left the Great Thousand World and reappeared in the Desolate Region. They devoted themselves to controlling various types of treasures designed to trap and prevent any living beings from entering the Desolate Region.

These treasures are all infused with the power of the Heavenly Dao, and can also slightly hinder the entry and exit of other Heavenly Dao powers.

After all, it was just a loan, not the ownership of the treasure.

In fact.

If the Immortal Sect weren't currently lacking a God Emperor, Lu Tao wouldn't need to enslave these six people; he would have killed them all.

However, maintaining these treasures would be too troublesome if other disciples of the Immortal Sect were to do it, as each treasure would require thousands of disciples.

Slavery is still more convenient.

As for these treasures, Lu Tao has not yet refined them. He will refine them after he advances to the God Emperor level.

Whoosh!

Lu Tao left with Number 3 and instantly appeared at the spatial node of the desolate region.

This node was originally torn open by an elder of the Heavenly Universe Sect, allowing the Heavenly God to descend to the mortal realm.

Now, though.

The space that was torn open has already been closed.

Lu Tao knew that Dao Sheng Tian Yu must have already learned of the incident in the Desolate Region, and was probably extremely anxious in the spatial rift at that moment.

Indeed, that is the case.

"Damn it, what's going on?"

Tianyu Daosheng was furious. He was rushing towards the desolate region through the spatial passage, intending to return to the God Realm and then find a way to descend to the mortal realm, when the spatial passage suddenly closed.

He was trapped in the void, unable to find the direction of the spatial nodes.

It's important to understand that if you don't enter or exit through spatial nodes, it's much more difficult to open up spaces in other locations.

This is a spatial passage connecting the two realms.

There was no other choice.

The Heavenly Dao Saint can only attempt to communicate with the will of the two realms by releasing the power of the Heavenly Dao.

Naturally, he received no response and was instead brutally beaten.

Even his celestial disciples were nearly killed.

Helpless, Tianyu Daosheng could only withstand the bombardment of the wills of the two realms and rely on the power of the Heavenly Dao to sense the spatial nodes.

Not long after.

He sensed the spatial node where he had come down earlier.

Tianyu Daosheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief and quietly crept over.

He didn't know what had happened to his six elders or why they had suddenly closed the spatial passage, but in any case, he had to be careful.

laugh!

Realizing that nothing was wrong, Tianyu Daosheng unleashed the power of the Heavenly Dao, instantly shattering the spatial node.

He was about to rush straight over...

But at that moment, a tremendous sense of crisis surged into the soul.

In an instant, Tianyu Daosheng stopped in his tracks. Then, he was furious to discover that the Great Thousand World he had encountered in the lower realm had reappeared in the Desolate Domain, waiting for him to walk into its trap.

"Impossible! The desolate region is guarded by a supreme treasure of the Heavenly Dao. How could you possibly have come up from the lower realm?"

Tianyu Daosheng was utterly perplexed.

The Heavenly Treasure he borrowed was to prevent Lu Tao from escaping from the lower realm, and also to prevent the Divine Platform Secret Realm from escaping.

To his astonishment, he discovered that several supreme treasures of the Heavenly Dao were ineffective against this vast world.

This shocked him, and he also sensed something was wrong.

Lu Tao's methods were even more terrifying than he had imagined.

He already knew that Lu Tao was capable of traversing the Heavenly Curtain Array and the Great Dao Array, so he knew that Lu Tao's methods were extraordinary. He never expected that Lu Tao could even treat the Heavenly Dao Treasure as nothing.

This sent a chill down his spine.

"Just stay put in the spatial rift!"

Number 3 suddenly unleashed a terrifying world power at Tianyu Daosheng, directly repelling him.

puff!

Tianyu Daosheng himself was not seriously injured, but the celestial being carrying the minor world lost half his life.

Damn it!

Tianyu Daosheng cursed angrily.

He attempted to use the power of the Heavenly Dao to enter the realm of gods, intending to tell the other Dao Saints about it.

He was no longer planning to monopolize the Divine Platform Secret Realm.

To his disappointment, his Heavenly Dao power was not only targeted by the wills of both realms, but even Number 3 was wary of him, giving him no chance to send a message.

As for sending messages through spatial rifts... that's naturally out of the question.

otherwise.

When the disciples sent down to the lower realm by the Tianyu Sect encountered disciples of the Immortal Sect, they would immediately send a message to Elder Fu.

"No, we need to find another spatial node."

Tianyu Daosheng knew that with the Great Thousand Worlds guarding the area, he could not leave this spatial node or send out any messages, no matter what.

He had to find another way.

And so, disregarding the consumption of the Heavenly Dao's power, Tianyu Daosheng finally found another spatial node after more than an hour.

He broke it and was about to rush out.

result……

To his astonishment, the vast world seemed to know where he would appear from and was already waiting nearby.

"What happened?"

Tianyu Daosheng retreated into the spatial rift, his brow furrowed: "Foresight? Or some kind of divination ability?"

Tianyu Daosheng thought of Lu Tao's theft of the Void Rule Secret Realm and Treasure Vault, but the fact that this was not discovered by the outside world during the process.

He understood instantly.

Lu Tao possesses a kind of divination-like ability.

Tianyu Daosheng focused his gaze on the Heavenly God's disciple.

He knew that with his status as a Dao Saint, Lu Tao couldn't predict his fate, so the problem lay with this disciple of the Heavenly God.

Left with no other choice, Tianyu Daosheng had to take the Heavenly God disciples into the Lesser Thousand Worlds.

He searched for spatial nodes again.

this time.

Instead of rashly breaking through the spatial node, he quietly released the power of the Heavenly Dao, intending to notify the other Dao Saints of the Divine Dynasty first.

It failed.

To his shock and anger, several elders of the Tianyu Sect were actually controlling the Heavenly Dao Treasure to prevent the Heavenly Dao power from entering and leaving the Desolate Domain.

They couldn't even send a message to him, the sect leader.

He already understood.

Several of their own elders have been enslaved.

"how so?"

Tianyu Daosheng was stunned. He, who had been full of ambition, was now extremely dejected.

Now, he can forget about any divine platform or secret realm. Not only have several of his own elders been lost, but he himself is also trapped in the spatial interlayer.

They dared not enter the desolate region, for it was completely enveloped by the vast world; to enter would be to walk into a trap.

Of course, it's not...

"Wait, something's not right!"

Suddenly, Tianyu Daosheng realized something.

He suddenly realized that after the Heavenly God's disciple was taken away, Lu Tao had no one to divine with, so he could descend to the mortal realm again.

He can successfully reach the lower realm by choosing another spatial node.

only……

Without a celestial disciple, it would be much more difficult for him to descend to the mortal realm alone, mainly because the targeting of the wills of the two realms was too terrifying.

If he were to leave the Lesser Thousand Worlds to act, he would likely be blown to pieces.

I thought about it.

Tianyu Daosheng summoned another disciple of the Heavenly God and instructed him to lead the Lesser Thousand Worlds to continue their journey to the lower realm.

He planned to put the disciple away after the disciple approached the lower realm, and then search for other spatial nodes on his own.

At that time.

It will be much easier.

And so, Tianyu Daosheng continued traversing the spatial rift, while Number 3 continued to guard the desolate region. As for Lu Tao…

Buzz!

A faint fluctuation of energy suddenly emanated from where Lu Tao was in seclusion.

Instantly, all the disciples and elders of the Immortal Sect opened their eyes with joy and looked towards Lu Tao.

They knew that the sect leader had reached the pinnacle of the Divine Emperor realm.

"Phew... It's finally perfect!"

Lu Tao let out a long breath and opened his eyes, feeling his essence, spirit, and the world. He felt that everything had reached a state of perfection, and he couldn't help but smile.

Gathering his aura, Lu Tao stood up, preparing to undergo the tribulation.

But before undergoing the tribulation, Lu Tao made a wish and found that he could no longer pray for any trace of Tianyu Daosheng.

This left him somewhat helpless.

However, he wasn't too worried.

If Tianyu Daosheng wanted to enter the lower realm again, it would naturally take him four or five days as well.

This is enough time for him to complete his tribulation.

Once he becomes a God Emperor, the mere Heavenly Dao Saint will not be of any concern to him.

Lu Tao didn't pay any more attention to Tianyu Daosheng. He simply let Number 3 continue to guard the desolate region, while he led the rest of the Immortal Sect into the outer void to prepare for their tribulation.

Transcending the Heavenly Tribulation of the God Emperor!
