291: Advance to the Myriad Paths Realm

"Ji's" venomous hatred still echoed in his ears like a maggot on a bone. Although its will projection had dissipated, its true body continued to devour various planes in the dark depths of the Chaos Mother Sea.

The clouds of war over the 903 Divine Domain had only temporarily retracted their savage claws; that crushing pressure that could weigh down the heavens had never truly vanished—one day, it would return with even more violent fury.

If the Heavenly Dao will of the Dark Abyss Plane were to emerge in its entirety and send an army to the borders once more, could this Hongmeng Divine Domain—which had just escaped foul corruption and contained Supreme potential—truly be defended with the current strength of the Primal Plane?

Lin Yuan's eyes darkened as his thoughts drifted back to the Tower of Will in the Primal Virtual World. That Trial Grounds was clearly filtering seeds capable of ascending to the position of Supreme, and that mysterious Guixu Battlefield... could it have been inextricably linked to the invasion of the Dark Abyss Plane from the very beginning?

Inhale—Exhale—

Lin Yuan slowly stood up, the residual power of the Dark Abyss corruption around him instantly shattered. The Chaos Universe within him, which had just undergone a fierce battle, ignited like billions of stellar cores at once, letting out a roar that shook the Mother Sea! A massive amount of pure primordial chaos qi was frantically drawn in, turning into a tangible torrent of energy that surged to repair his nearly depleted Origin!

His gaze, sharp as a world-opening blade, pierced through the churning Chaos Mother Sea as if crossing endless time and space—he saw that Hongmeng Divine Domain, born from the Fusion of the primordial dao embryo, which would soon face a full-scale invasion by the Dark Abyss Plane in the near future!

After an unknown amount of time, when the major cracks in his internal Universe had been initially mended and half the stars were relit, Lin Yuan finally managed to stand. His aura was restrained to the extreme, as if returning to simplicity, but with every movement, space slightly distorted—a sign of the natural dissipation of the majestic power within his internal Universe.

The dark gold light of his Great Accomplishment Chaos Body was now completely internalized. The runes flowing beneath his skin faintly revealed the nobility of Grandmist purple, and the ninth-grade chaos wings, which had regained their energy, constantly emitted a heart-palpitating power!

He took one last look at the wordless stele. Under the washing of the Mother Sea's power, the huge crack had been cleared of filth and was slowly closing at a visible rate, radiating a tranquility of liberation and rebirth.

The remnant soul of the Xuanyuan Supreme had already dissipated, returning to the Mother Sea. Xuanyuan Wuji... that proud ancient god-son, whose figure had burned his will at the end, along with that shattered time-light compass, would remain in this place of Origin forever.

"The grudges are settled; the path ahead... is only battle!" Lin Yuan whispered, his eyes no longer clouded by confusion. He put away the key and submerged his Divine Thought into the primal divine seal.

Buzz!

The divine Seal vibrated, communicating with the Heavenly Dao coordinates of the 903 Divine Domain. With the Grandmist authority bestowed upon him, this spatial shuttle became exceptionally smooth. He stepped out, his figure merging into the nine-colored radiance, instantly vanishing into the eternal "nothingness" of the Chaos Mother Sea.

Somewhere in the 903 Divine Domain, space rippled like still water after a stone was thrown. Lin Yuan's figure stepped out from the ripples, but his brow furrowed the moment he stood firm—the majestic power of his internal Universe seemed suddenly imprisoned by invisible shackles, and the combat power bonus that had been rushing like a river instantly fell silent, disappearing without a trace.

Lin Yuan summoned his combat power panel and looked closely.

[Total combat power: 5,856 Yuan Force]

5,856 Yuan Force!

If this level of combat power were to be made public, it would likely shock all Myriad Dao Realm Martial Artists until their Divine Souls trembled with fear—one must know that the combat power of the weakest Saint Realm was only 1,000 Yuan Force! Yet Lin Yuan, who had just stepped into the Myriad Dao Realm, already possessed the power to slay a Saint. This kind of terrifying strength that bypassed Realms completely overturned the common knowledge of the cultivation world.

He couldn't help but feel grateful to the Xuanyuan Supreme. If not for the Legacy of the "Grandmist Creation Scripture," it would have been impossible for him to break through so quickly, let alone accumulate such horrifying combat power.

The sky of the 903 Divine Domain was as clear as if it had been washed, and the Heavenly Dao rules, cleansed of the Dark Abyss pollution, radiated vigorous vitality. Lin Yuan stood in the Void Realm, feeling the primordial chaos universe prototype within him—temporarily sealed yet still majestic and vast—as well as the power of the six perfected Great Daos flowing through him.

"Myriad Dao Realm... Dao Lord..." he whispered to himself, his fingertips brushing through the Void Realm. A faint glimmer of Chaos and Void Ruin flashed and vanished at his touch. From being transported here from that tiny mortal land of Blue Star, to the thorns of the Xuanxiao Great World, to the baptism of blood and fire in the Taichu Divine Continent, and finally to breaking through and becoming a Lord in the Hongmeng Divine Domain today—this path filled with thorns had finally bloomed with light sufficient to illuminate the way home.

He looked into the depths of the Void Realm, his gaze seemingly piercing through billions of stars to land on that homeland about to be swallowed by the Burial God Abyss.

"Tomorrow, Myriad Dao Realm Martial Artists will be able to freely enter and exit the barriers of this Divine Domain. I might as well return to Blue Star first; otherwise, if I wait until the Divine Domain restarts the war, I won't know when I'll be able to return!"

There was only one day left before he could embark on the journey back. At that time, with the Supreme power of a Myriad Dao Realm Dao Lord, he would personally tear open the dark barriers of the Burial God Abyss and lift Blue Star out of its descent. This was not just a return, but the original intention he had never wavered from since he began his path of the Dao.

As for his parents, he had already entrusted Teacher Li Xuan to dispatch a large number of Spirit Martial Hall deacons to that Three-Star World to search for them. Li Xuan had even ordered a thorough investigation of hundreds of thousands of neighboring worlds around that Three-Star World, yet no information regarding his parents had been found.

Lin Yuan could only let the matter rest for now. Or, he could wait until he became stronger—after becoming a Saint, even if his parents had already met with disaster, as long as their souls hadn't undergone Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering, he could use his powerful strength to resurrect them!

Returning his thoughts to his own Realm, Lin Yuan truly understood the weight of the words "Myriad Dao" after stepping into this stage. It was by no means a simple accumulation of countless Great Dao Laws, but a systematic path to heaven with the "core as the trunk and branches as the leaves."

Since the Perfection of his comprehension of the six Great Daos and the opening of his internal Universe, he had gained a clearer and more shocking understanding of the essence of the Myriad Dao Realm—experts of this Realm are all honored as "Dao Lords," and the chasm between Dao Lords lies deep within the level of their "Core Dao" and the degree of Perfection of their "branch systems."

"Yuan-Beginning Dao Lord..." Lin Yuan's mind stirred, and he lightly swiped his finger through the Void Realm. The perfected Chaos Great Dao within him acted like an invisible hub, easily mobilizing a trace of the Metal element origin straying between heaven and earth, condensing it into a miniature golden sword that radiated cold light in his palm. This type of Dao Lord was the Foundation of the Myriad Dao Realm and also the most numerous group.

They usually take a single basic Great Dao as their core, such as one of the three thousand basic Great Daos that constitute the Foundation of the world, like "Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Wind, and Thunder."

To increase their strength, they also try to comprehend other basic Great Daos as supplements, but these Daos often fight their own battles, being scattered and lacking governance. They cannot form an organic whole, let alone produce a qualitative change of "1+1 > 2."

"Their power has a shallow Foundation." Lin Yuan's gaze was calm as he flicked his finger, and the golden sword in his palm instantly collapsed, turning into specks of golden light that dissipated into nothingness. "Even if a Yuan-Beginning Dao Lord luckily comprehends ten complete basic Great Daos, the superposition of their Dao power would only barely reach the amount of 'Ten Yuan' (one billion Yu combat power), and their total combat power would generally not exceed fifty Yuan Force."

"In front of truly powerful beings, they are but ants huddling together, easily defeated." He seemed to see countless Yuan-Beginning Dao Lords struggling and floating in the torrent of the Myriad Dao. Their power was scattered and fragile; when facing higher-level existences, they often couldn't even cause a ripple before being easily crushed, like duckweed in a raging tide.
