325: Chapter 325 One step across the void, who dares to stop Crimson Heaven?

Hum—

Deep within the void, purple Qi surged.

Thirty thousand miles of purple Qi, like a boundless Great Dao, extended from the depths of the vast starry sky, piercing through the endless, chaotic void between the two Dao Domains.

Wherever the purple Qi passed, the spatial rifts in the void—capable of tearing apart the Physical Body of a Mahayana Stage Cultivator—closed up one after another.

The fierce void beasts wandering in the gaps between the Dao Domains fled with shrill cries, as if they had been targeted by a natural predator.

In the center of this Great Dao paved with purple Qi, Su Changge, dressed in white, was walking upon the clouds.

His face held a transcendent, otherworldly serenity.

His body was surrounded by the brilliant flow of Holy Light.

And beneath his feet was...

An auspicious cloud that was about to fall apart.

[System! Is this auspicious cloud inflatable?! I've been flying for three days, why is it getting flatter and flatter?]

[I'm using the spiritual energy of a Qi Refining First Layer to support this cloud across Dao Domains? Even asking an ant to pull a train wouldn't be this ridiculous!]

Su Changge's inner self was roaring frantically.

When he set out from Lingxu Wasteland three days ago, he was full of high spirits.

With the special effect of thirty thousand miles of purple Qi activated, his prestige was at its peak. Under the gaze of ten thousand people, he stepped into the void, looking incredibly cool.

Then he regretted it.

The distance between the two Dao Domains was ridiculously far.

Relying on his Qi Refining First Layer cultivation to fly?

He wouldn't make it in eight hundred years.

Fortunately, in the Great Dao Scripture Pavilion, there was a record in Old Ancestor Xuantian's memories regarding an "Ancient Void Passage"—between the two great Dao Domains, there were void relay points built by ancient ancestors. By activating them with specific spirit runes, one could use spatial jumps to significantly shorten the journey.

Su Changge spent two days finding the first relay point and activating it.

Then he spent another day being tossed around in the void passage until he was dizzy.

At this moment, he finally saw the crimson horizon ahead.

Chixiao Dao Domain.

He had arrived.

[Thank goodness. If I flew for one more day, my body would fall apart.]

Su Changge breathed a long sigh of relief, but on the surface, he maintained his eternal look of indifference.

He adjusted his breathing and raised his eyes to look ahead.

The border of Chixiao Dao Domain was completely different from Qingming Domain.

The void border of Qingming Domain was a serene, deep blue starry curtain, while the border of Chixiao Dao Domain was a massive light screen burning with crimson-gold flames.

The light screen stretched for tens of thousands of miles, like a burning celestial wall enveloping the entire Dao Domain.

Through the light screen, one could feel a wave of blazing Law aura rushing toward them.

That aura was overbearing and violent, like a dormant fire dragon stirring behind the light screen.

The skin on Su Changge's face felt a bit tight from the heat.

[Good grief, I haven't even entered yet and the roasting has already begun? This isn't Chixiao Dao Domain, it's the Barbecue Dao Domain, isn't it?]

In front of the light screen stood a massive crimson mountain pass.

Banners fluttered atop the pass, armored soldiers stood in ranks, and every guard's cultivation was at the Nascent Soul Stage or above.

"The guards here are all at the Nascent Soul Stage? A Sect Head from Lingxu Wasteland would only be fit for sentry duty here?"

Su Changge felt a bit apprehensive, but his footsteps did not hesitate in the slightest.

He walked slowly toward the mountain pass.

In the distance, a figure was pacing anxiously below the pass.

It was Zhao Tian.

Zhao Tian had set out a full five days before Su Changge, traveling non-stop and using several Teleportation Arrays to barely arrive here in time.

He had only been here for half a day when he received news of the Dao Lord's imminent arrival—because that thirty thousand miles of purple Qi was clearly visible even from tens of millions of miles away.

"The Dao Lord is here!"

Zhao Tian snapped his head up, his eyes instantly filled with purple light.

What did he see?

He saw that within the endless void, a Great Dao paved with purple Qi extended from the end of the horizon, piercing through the entire Star Domain.

At the end of the Great Dao, a figure in white was walking forward.

With every step he took, golden lotuses bloomed beneath his feet.

With every step he took, heavenly music resonated around him.

Su Changge simply took a casual step and crossed the final stretch of void, landing lightly in front of the mountain pass.

The thirty thousand miles of purple Qi special effect slowly dissipated behind him, turning into countless purple petals that drifted down in abundance.

Zhao Tian was completely stunned.

His legs went weak involuntarily, and he knelt on the ground with a thud.

"Disciple Zhao Tian welcomes the Dao Lord!"

His voice was trembling, not out of fear, but because he had witnessed a miracle that transcended his understanding.

Crossing a Dao Domain in a single step!

That purple Qi covered the heavens and the earth, blanketing half the void!

Such methods, such spirit—even the legendary descent of a True Immortal would probably be nothing more than this!

The guards on the mountain pass were all dumbfounded.

They stood here every day welcoming and seeing off people, having witnessed countless experts come and go.

They had seen old monsters of the Mahayana Stage crossing Dao Domains in immortal ships.

They had seen great experts of the Tribulation Transcendence Stage tearing through the void to teleport here.

But a scene like this, crossing the void in one step with purple Qi paving the way for thirty thousand miles?

They had never seen it!

"This... who is this person?"

"Look at that purple Qi, look at those golden lotuses—this is the appearance of a Saint!"

"Quick, look at his cultivation..."

Several guarding Elders simultaneously activated their Divine Sense to probe Su Changge.

In the next instant, everyone's expression changed.

The moment their Divine Sense touched Su Changge, it felt as if they had crashed into an infinite high wall.

No, not a high wall.

An abyss.

A boundless void.

The feedback from their investigation was only four words—unfathomably deep.

"My god..."

A Nascent Soul Stage guard's voice went hoarse. "This Senior's cultivation is so high that even my Divine Sense can't perceive a single bit of it?"

"At least above the Tribulation Transcendence Stage! No, with the phenomena he just displayed, he is likely standing at the peak of the Mahayana Stage!"

"Hiss... why did such a figure come from the direction of Qingming Domain? Isn't that a backwater place?"

Su Changge overheard everyone's discussion and felt a slight sense of relief.

[Fortunately, Myriad Laws Immunity (Pseudo) is still as steady as an old dog.]

[However, the cultivation levels of people in this place are generally high. Even Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators are just gatekeepers. I must be even more careful.]

He gave a slight nod to Zhao Tian, who was kneeling on the ground, and then indifferently swept his gaze over the guards on the mountain pass.

Wherever his gaze landed, everyone subconsciously lowered their heads.

No one dared to stop him.

No one dared to question him.

No one even dared to ask him for a passage token.

Su Changge strode through the border pass of Chixiao Dao Domain with great strides, his pace steady and his robes fluttering.

Zhao Tian quickly scrambled up and followed closely behind with his head bowed.

The moment he passed through the light screen, Su Changge's entire body shuddered.

A wave of blazing, violent, and aggressive Spiritual Qi surged toward him like lava, pouring into every one of his pores.

This was completely different from the peaceful and gentle Spiritual Qi of Lingxu Wasteland.

The Spiritual Qi of Chixiao Dao Domain was like strong liquor—intense, burning, and even carrying a faint sense of oppression.

Su Changge felt his Qi Refining First Layer Dantian ache slightly from the impact of this Spiritual Qi.

[Damn, it's so hot! Is this Spiritual Qi seasoned with chili?]

[My small frame could barely hold on in Lingxu Wasteland, but here, it's like throwing a paper boat into a river of fire!]

His body stiffened slightly, involuntarily.

This subtle change was caught by Zhao Tian, who was following a few steps behind.

Zhao Tian's heart skipped a beat.

The Dao Lord paused?

No.

Zhao Tian looked closely, and then a look of realization appeared on his face.

The Dao Lord wasn't enduring the impact of this Spiritual Qi—he was savoring it!

Just like a peerless swordsman picking up a new sword, he wasn't being hurt by the Sword Qi, but was using his body to feel the sword's edge!

"Dao Lord, the Spiritual Qi of Chixiao Dao Domain is indeed exceptionally violent. Ordinary Cultivators below the Soul Transformation Stage need to protect themselves with Spiritual Qi just to walk here," Zhao Tian said in a low voice, his tone full of admiration.

"Yet you face the Laws of this place with your Physical Body, completely unafraid. I take the liberty to guess—are you using your body to comprehend the Dao?"

The corner of Su Changge's mouth twitched slightly.

[Using my body to comprehend the Dao? I'm using my body to get burned!]

[But you make it sound so reasonable that I can't even refute it.]

He didn't speak, only giving a faint "Mm."

To Zhao Tian, this sound was an admission.

Zhao Tian immediately became even more worshipful, thinking that the Dao Lord was indeed unfathomable, as even breathing Spiritual Qi was a form of cultivation.

Behind the mountain pass was a crimson official road winding into the distance.

The mountains on both sides of the road were dark red, and the vegetation was also completely different from Qingming Domain—fiery red spirit trees, burning stone flowers, and a faint smell of sulfur permeating the air.

This land seemed to be growing atop a massive volcano.

Su Changge observed as he walked, constantly recording information along the way in his mind.

[Terrain, Spiritual Qi, Laws... everything is different from Lingxu Wasteland.]

[There aren't many records about Chixiao Dao Domain in the Great Dao Scripture Pavilion. It seems I need to gather more intelligence and not act recklessly.]

"Zhao Tian," he suddenly spoke.

"This Disciple is here."

"What is the name of the nearest city ahead?"

Zhao Tian quickly replied, "Reporting to the Dao Lord, three hundred miles ahead is a Cultivator city called 'Chiyan City.' It is the largest trading center on the outskirts of the Blazing Dragon War Continent. I have been staying there for the past few days and have gathered quite a bit of information."

Su Changge nodded and continued walking toward Chiyan City without stopping.

Back at the mountain pass, several guards were still staring blankly at his retreating back.

"That Senior... who exactly is he?"

"I don't know, but that bearing and those methods—he's definitely not an ordinary person."

An older commanding officer suddenly remembered something, and his expression became somewhat subtle.

"A few days ago, the Blazing Dragon Sacred Hall sent an invitation to the Lingxu Wasteland of Qingming Domain for the Ten Thousand Immortals Assembly... Do you think he could be that..."

Before he could finish, all the guards' breathing hitched.

The Lord of Lingxu Wasteland?

The legendary Dao Lord who repositioned the stars with a single palm strike?

He... has come?!

"Quick! Immediately report this to the Chiyan City Lord's Mansion!"

"Also, notify the Blazing Dragon Sacred Hall—"

"The Dao Lord of Lingxu Wasteland has already entered Chixiao Dao Domain!"
