Dream Dao Attainment, Opening Scheme Against Cultivators
Dream-Making Expert
Boom!
Thunderbolt!
As if the universe had exploded, or as if Pangu had cleaved heaven from earth, a world-shaking fluctuation bloomed to its absolute limit in an instant.
The entire Holy Hall Cosmos, with the Abyss where the Dusk Mother Goddess resided as its core, was instantly torn into two halves.
Truly torn into two halves.
Without any exaggeration.
A true battle of Supremes was truly this terrifying.
The descending avatar of Emperor Qionggao held nothing back, directly executing a scalpel-like precision strike against the Dusk Mother Goddess.
As for the result.
For the moment, no one knew.
Because even Gushe, who had once been the Mother of True Demons, a powerhouse whose cultivation surpassed Dao-Sacrifice.
Facing the terrifying power of Emperor Qionggao's sword that tore apart an entire Great Cosmos, she too felt utter horror.
Light.
Endless light, so brilliantly resplendent that it even illuminated the Boundary-Wall Void Sea.
Allowing the neighboring Great Cosmos to feel the tremors and the dazzling light that blanketed the heavens, sweeping across the entire universe.
Any existence below the Supreme level found it difficult to probe and perceive the outcome of the battle within the unbelievable aftershock of that radiance.
Only the uncontrolled distortion and Devouring within the endless brilliance vaguely let Gushe and the others know.
The Dusk Mother Goddess had not yet fallen to Emperor Qionggao's great sword that tore the universe apart.
The battle initiated by Emperor Qionggao's avatar against the Dusk Mother Goddess, an existence equally comparable to a Supreme Avatar, was still ongoing.
Only Yuyao.
Gushe's heart was filled with shock and fury.
She was deeply worried whether Yuyao could survive in such a Supreme battle.
Because a Supreme, even if it was merely the aftershock of two Supreme avatars exchanging blows.
It was still obviously enough to become a catastrophe of annihilation for all beings below the Supreme level.
"Don't worry, Yuyao is definitely still alive!"
"Don't forget, Their goal is not to kill Yuyao."
"Rather, it is to erode and assimilate the Dusk Mother Goddess, and then possess Yuyao."
Gao Tianyou shouted in Gushe's ear, telling her to calm down.
The cosmic storm filling the surroundings isolated everything, turning the entire universe into an erupting volcano.
The two of them exhausted all their strength just to barely survive within the terrifying cosmic storm.
But the battle between Emperor Qionggao and the Dusk Mother Goddess had only just begun.
It was a Supreme clash that could not be imitated, could not be looked upon directly.
Everything in the universe, even powers beyond the universe, were used as weapons by Emperor Qionggao and the Dusk Mother Goddess to bombard each other.
Stars, laws, order, the Great Dao…
All the lofty and exalted things that ordinary cultivators yearned for and aspired to, even existences considered eternal and immutable, golden rules and jade statutes on par with the Dao itself.
All of them became the most ordinary of basic attacks in the battle between Emperor Qionggao and the Dusk Mother Goddess.
As for the true ultimate moves exchanged between the two.
Beyond comprehension, beyond perception.
Even Yuyao, who was at the very core of the battle and could indirectly perceive the Dharma contest between the Dusk Mother Goddess and Emperor Qionggao.
At this moment, she still could not see clearly, could not understand the battle process between the Dusk Mother Goddess and Emperor Qionggao.
She only knew.
The endless chaos and madness belonged to the Dusk Mother Goddess.
And another kind of aura, similar to order yet with a deeper, more profound mystery, should be from Emperor Qionggao.
Beyond that.
The only other thing Yuyao could perceive was the divine artifact forged from the corpses of the Myriad Realms' gods, at the cost of more than half the God Race's foundation, named the Dusk Sword.
It was lodged in the Dusk Mother Goddess's chest, and was visibly dissolving and eroding the Dusk Mother Goddess.
"It's Destruction."
Yuyao suddenly had a flash of spiritual insight, an epiphany.
She realized the core purpose of Emperor Qionggao's Dharma contest against the Dusk Mother Goddess.
Destruction.
Emperor Qionggao was attempting to use the Dusk Sword, which had unleashed a Twilight of the Gods and nearly destroyed more than half the God Race.
To forcibly implant the concept of Destruction into the Dusk Mother Goddess, who represented chaos and madness.
Simply put.
Emperor Qionggao wanted to forcibly alter what should have been, in the Nine Supreme Ancestor Gods' plan, the Lord of Chaos — reduced to a representative of chaos and madness, controlled by no one, not even by self-will.
To forcibly rewrite her into the Lord of Destruction, representing Destruction.
The change seemed small.
But in reality, the key lay in self-will.
The Lord of Chaos has no self-will, and is thus destined to be uncontrollable by anyone.
But the Lord of Destruction will possess self-will. That is to say, the Lord of Destruction can be controlled.
And what Emperor Qionggao wanted was to be able to control the Dusk Mother Goddess.
No.
He wants to control me!
Yuyao's eyes widened in sudden understanding. Then, not only did she not feel fear or terror, she instead smiled as if a great weight had been lifted.
She now knew that before this awakening, she really had dreamed a dream.
And Lin Qi really had appeared in her dream.
And what he told her in the dream — that the day of her escape had come — was also true.
Because she could not be controlled.
Even if Emperor Qionggao's move had the permission of the Nine Supreme Ancestor Gods.
But the Spirit Race, the Demon Race, and the Buddhist order, the Daoist order.
They would all refuse to allow the God Race to control her, and thereby truly control one of the Nine Spirits' seats.
After all, everyone knew what end the Demon Buddha controlled by the Buddhist order had ultimately fallen to.
They did not allow the Buddhist order to control one of the Nine Spirits' seats.
How then could they allow the God Race to truly control one of the Nine Spirits' seats?
Especially under the current great trend.
Any behavior that attempted to steal one of the Nine Spirits' seats through control, and thereby seize the initiative in the New World, would not be permitted.
Therefore, Emperor Qionggao would inevitably fail this time.
But Emperor Qionggao failing did not mean she could succeed in escaping.
Unless…
Yuyao's gaze flickered, her wisdom surging.
Facing the ever-intensifying Dharma contest between Emperor Qionggao and the Dusk Mother Goddess.
Without a shred of hesitation, she formed various hand seals.
All the methods she had comprehended and mastered over thousands of years of resisting the Dusk Mother Goddess.
Even the most insignificant little tricks that could only temporarily exempt her from the erosion of the Dusk Mother Goddess's chaotic and maddening aura — Yuyao cast them all without hesitation.
She wanted to help Emperor Qionggao, help Emperor Qionggao suppress the Dusk Mother Goddess.
To transform the Dusk Mother Goddess, who represented chaos and madness, into the Lord of Destruction, representing Destruction.
This was her only chance to escape.
Only by helping Emperor Qionggao overcome the Dusk Mother Goddess's chaos and madness, and rewrite the Dusk Mother Goddess's fundamental concept.
Could she truly gamble on a thread of survival.
Because only when the Dusk Mother Goddess broke free from chaos and madness, and possessed self-will.
Could she truly reach some kind of compromise and transaction with the Dusk Mother Goddess.
After all, everyone knew — you could never expect a madman to understand weighing pros and cons.
But when you face an absolutely rational existence.
Weighing pros and cons is its only logic of thought.
Sensing Yuyao's assistance.
Emperor Qionggao's avatar was not surprised. After all, this was within His expectations.
He had even long since deduced Yuyao's current thoughts.
But it didn't matter.
Yuyao believed this was her perfect opportunity to escape, even to turn the tables and counterbalance the Dusk Mother Goddess, achieve some kind of balance, and obtain Creation.
Was He not thinking the same?
It was simply a matter of each relying on their own abilities.
The truly best and most perfect scheme that could make all beings in the world willingly enter the game.
Was always one that made every party entering the game feel they had a chance to win.
So there was no need to care about others' odds of victory.
Emperor Qionggao's avatar knew only one thing.
That was — the advantage is mine!
A scheme where everyone felt they would win rapidly entered its final climax after it began.
Although Yuyao's assistance had a negligible effect on the Dusk Mother Goddess.
It still, in the end, caused the scales of victory to begin tipping toward Emperor Qionggao.
"Amitabha."
"Fellow Daoist Haotian."
"Cease quickly, and in days to come you will not lose the position of Overlord of the Three Realms."
"How can you covet the Dao Ancestor's seat any further?"
With a single Amitabha, a golden Buddha came across the sky.
It vaguely resembled the Buddha Ancestor Tathagata, but its aura was stern and great, comparable to a Supreme.
It was the Supreme Avatar left behind by the Supreme Tathagata back then, now manifesting upon the body of the Buddha Ancestor Tathagata.
The Great Buddha came from the west, chanting Amitabha.
But its strikes were utterly merciless, lunging straight at Emperor Qionggao's back.
Yet facing the ambush of the Supreme Tathagata's avatar.
Emperor Qionggao's avatar did not dodge or evade, showing not the slightest intention of avoidance. Instead, His aura blazed even fiercer as He devoted Himself wholly to rewriting the Dusk Mother Goddess's Dao Path concept.
And what met and intercepted the Supreme Tathagata's avatar was a ray of Holy Light.
A ray of Holy Light rising from the torn Holy Hall Cosmos.
It was the Holy Light Ancestral God who ruled the Holy Hall Cosmos.
He had indeed also hidden a card, concealed within this Holy Hall Cosmos.
Only, no one had expected.
This Holy Light Ancestral God did not choose to stop Emperor Qionggao, but instead moved to block the Supreme Tathagata's avatar.
This was extremely surprising.
But on second thought, it seemed only right.
After all, everyone knew that although the Holy Light Ancestral God was also one of the God Race's Nine Supreme Ancestor Gods.
Among the God Race's Supremes, He had always had a weak presence.
No.
It should be said that the Holy Light Ancestral God was one of the typical examples among the Supremes of All Heavens who had schemed and stolen His way to a Supreme seat.
One should know that almost all Supremes, before achieving Supremacy, were at least named figures among the ancient Immortals and Gods of the Heavenly Immortal Macrocosm.
But only this Holy Light Ancestral God, though also originating from the ancient Immortals and Gods of the Heavenly Immortal Macrocosm.
Had remained obscure before achieving Supremacy.
He did not even qualify to be on the Investiture of the Gods.
The reason He was able to rise from behind and become one of the God Race's Nine Supremes under the name Holy Light.
Was entirely because He took a different path.
Breaking away from the Primordial World script that determined the evolution of the Heavenly Immortal Macrocosm's Ancient Era.
In the guise of the Barbarian God, creating angels, and through the means of faith, becoming one of the commanders of the God Race's great campaigns across the Myriad Realms.
Only thus was He valued by the other God Race Supremes, and able to ascend to the ranks of the Supremes.
But because of this, He had always been at the very bottom of the Supreme chain of contempt.
Yes.
Even among Supremes, there was a chain of contempt.
On the surface, everyone stood on equal footing.
But I am of the orthodox line, one of the Six Sages before even leaving the Heavenly Immortal Macrocosm.
What do you count as?!
"The Holy Light Ancestral God has made His move too?"
"And He's helping Emperor Qionggao."
"Indeed."
"If there is anyone among the Supremes with the least confidence in becoming the first Above the Supreme."
"Then it would naturally be the Holy Light Ancestral God."
"Now by aiding Emperor Qionggao and gambling on a position of one below one and above ten thousand."
"It would indeed be better than His current situation at the very bottom of the Supremes."
"If that's the case."
"Then Emperor Qionggao's helpers are probably not limited to the Holy Light Ancestral God…"
