282: Resurrection Plan

Haotian's eyes twitched as he suppressed the urge to strike again. He knew that he wouldn't be able to take down Chen Yuan today.

"Today's battle shall be remembered for now." Haotian planted his Imperial Halberd firmly. The surging Aura around him began to recede, yet his killing intent grew even more concentrated, like a frozen volcano.

"The Heavenly Palace and you are now irreconcilable enemies. Once this deity has prepared sufficiently, I shall trample the Eastern Wilderness and slaughter your entire hall!"

As his voice fell, he stopped looking at Chen Yuan, turned around, and flicked his sleeve. "Let's go!"

The dark-gold Imperial Halberd sliced open a small spatial rift, and Haotian was the first to step inside.

The powerful experts of the Heavenly Palace felt as if they had been granted a grand amnesty. They hurriedly retracted their Formation and followed him in single file, fearing they might be a step too slow.

In the blink of an eye, those dozens of suffocatingly powerful Auras vanished completely, leaving behind only a devastated sky and still-raging turbulent energy currents.

They had come suddenly and retreated just as decisively.

Across Dongxuan Peak, there was first a dead silence, followed by an earth-shattering eruption of cheers!

"The Hall Master is invincible!"

"The Heavenly Palace has retreated! The Emperor has retreated!"

The sound waves surged like a tide, echoing through the surroundings.

Countless Eastern Profound Hall Cultivators had tears in their eyes, overcome with emotion.

Through the information spread by the Former Sect Master and others, they all knew what kind of existence Haotian was.

They had witnessed history! Their Hall Master had forced the peerlessly arrogant Master of the Heavenly Palace to retreat!

Chen Yuan stood alone in the Void Realm, gazing at the direction where the rift had vanished with a deep look in his eyes.

He knew this wasn't the end, but rather the beginning of a true storm.

Haotian would not let this go, and the Dao Court and Yao Race had also been alerted.

He sensed the System panel within his Sea of Consciousness and gave a light chuckle.

"Just as well," he muttered to himself. The Crimson Firmament Sword in his hand turned into a stream of light and vanished into the System space.

"I can finally purchase Immeasurable Realm Cultivation Techniques!"

Turning around, he took a step and was already back in front of the main hall of Dongxuan Peak.

His gaze swept over the excited crowd and landed on Qi Wuya and the others.

"Clean up the battlefield and repair the Formations."

His voice was calm, yet it carried an unquestionable authority. "The true war has only just begun."

"Yes! Hall Master!" Everyone responded in unison, their voices shaking the clouds.

Inside the main hall of the Eastern Profound Hall,

Chen Yuan sat cross-legged, his Divine Thought sinking into his Sea of Consciousness.

The System's light screen floated quietly, displaying a long string of numbers.

Even with his current state of mind, a ripple of excitement couldn't help but surface.

[Emotion Points: Over 1,000 Trillion]

Chen Yuan began searching for Immeasurable Realm Cultivation Techniques on the System panel.

Generally, Cultivation Techniques were divided into two categories.

One category, like the Primordial Immortal Scripture, leads straight to the Eternal Realm. The benefit is that one doesn't need to constantly switch techniques.

The other category provides one technique per Realm. The benefit is that it allows one to master each Realm with incredible solidity.

Before long, Chen Yuan's attention was drawn to a technique called the 'Primordial Infinite Dao Chapter'.

Grade: Wuliang Grade, can be cultivated to Wuliang Perfection.

When Chaos first divided and the Great Dao was yet to take form, it evolved into the Primordial.

Upon mastery, one can merge with Chaos, create heavens with a single thought, and become immune to all laws.

Price: 500 Trillion Emotion Points.

"Exchange."

500 trillion Emotion Points were instantly deducted!

Subsequently, Chen Yuan opened the time-space cultivation chamber and began to Cultivate.

Chen Yuan closed his eyes. A thousand Immortal Crystals around him bloomed with radiance simultaneously, pouring their vast Immortal Qi entirely into his body.

Three years later,

Yuanshi Realm, Late Stage!

Only ten days had passed in the outside world, consuming a thousand Immortal Crystals.

Chen Yuan's Aura had undergone an earth-shaking transformation.

Previously, he relied on the power of the Formation to contend with Haotian.

But now, he could fight Haotian to a draw without any external aids.

Sitting there, he seemed like a primordial Universe being nurtured.

"Yuanshi Late Stage."

Chen Yuan opened his eyes and slightly clenched his fist.

"Now, with the Grand Array of Stealing the Dao of the Heavens and the Crimson Firmament Sword, Haotian?"

He shook his head slightly; Haotian was no longer his match.

Just then, his brow twitched. His gaze seemed to pierce through the hall, looking toward a certain point in the Void Realm at the edge of the Eastern Wilderness.

"Aura of the Yao Race? They are quite cautious, only daring to peer from the edges."

With a thought, he dismissed the time-space cultivation chamber.

Without needing to stand up, he simply reached out toward that direction and made a grasping motion through the air.

At the border of the Eastern Wilderness,

Shadow Fox was perfectly concealing her form and Aura.

Suddenly, the shadows around her froze!

Space locked her down like an iron shackle.

"What?"

Shadow Fox turned pale with horror. Her Eternal Realm Late Stage cultivation was like a firefly before the moon in the face of this will.

In the next second, the world spun. The scene before her blurred and then became clear. She was no longer where she had been, but had been directly teleported into the main hall of the Eastern Profound Hall.

She stood before Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan looked at her indifferently, his eyes calm and without ripples. "Yao Race? What business do you have in the Eastern Wilderness?"

Shadow Fox suppressed her instinctive fear and maintained her poise as an envoy of the Demon Court. She bowed deeply, though her voice was inevitably a bit strained:

"May the Master of the Eastern Profound Hall judge clearly. This small Yao, Shadow Fox, has come by the order of the Lord of Ten Thousand Demons. I have no ill intent, only to convey my master's goodwill. Since the Hall Master and the Heavenly Palace have become mortal enemies, my Demon Court is willing to form an Alliance with the Hall Master to resist Haotian together."

She spoke very quickly, fearing that if she were a step too slow, she would be slain by Chen Yuan.

After hearing her out, there wasn't a single ripple on Chen Yuan's face.

Now that his cultivation had broken through, his perspective was entirely different.

Crushing Haotian was now as easy as turning over his palm. The so-called threat of the Heavenly Palace could be broken with a snap of his fingers.

The Yao Race's so-called Alliance was unnecessary for him.

"Cooperation?" Chen Yuan shook his head gently. "No need. Go back and tell the Lord of Ten Thousand Demons that I will handle the matters of the Eastern Profound Hall myself. If the Yao Race does not wish to invite trouble, then do not set foot in the Eastern Wilderness again."

As he spoke, a trace of his Immeasurable Realm Late Stage pressure leaked out.

Shadow Fox felt as if she had been struck by a heavy blow. Her face turned deathly pale instantly, as if the entire starry sky was pressing down on her shoulders, and even her Divine Soul was about to freeze.

"Yes... yes! This small Yao understands! I will definitely convey the Hall Master's words!"

Shadow Fox dared not say another word. She bowed deeply and, after Chen Yuan withdrew the spatial restriction, she fled almost frantically by turning into a shadow. The shock in her heart was like crashing waves:

"Yuanshi Realm Late Stage? How could he possibly... in such a short time... or has he been hiding it all along?"

Chen Yuan didn't care about Shadow Fox's departure. He didn't even take the Yao Race seriously; someone like the Master of the Demon Court could be extinguished at will.

He was about to check the progress of the Eastern Profound Hall's repairs,

when—

"Dong!"

A dull sound of the Dao boomed out.

Chen Yuan suddenly looked up, his gaze piercing through the Void Realm toward a certain direction.

To be more precise, it was the direction where the Doomsday Dao Court was located!

That wave of energy caused even Chen Yuan to feel a slight palpitation in his heart.

"What is that?" Chen Yuan's eyes suddenly became sharp.

At the same time, far away in the Myriad Yao Heavenly Palace of the Northern Abyss Yao Court.

Sitting upon the throne, the Lord of Ten Thousand Demons was similarly startled by this heart-palpitating fluctuation and stood up abruptly!

His Immeasurable Realm Perfection supreme Yao energy surged uncontrollably, and his face was filled with unbelievable horror.

"This Aura...!"

His voice carried a trace of undetectable trembling.

"Such ancient Doomsday Dao Rhyme... they actually succeeded? That old monster... has been resurrected?!"

He had heard rumors of the Dao Court's "Resurrection Plan" before; the entire plan had been carried out in secret for hundreds of thousands of years.

But he had always thought it was fraught with difficulties and that hope was slim.

Yet this palpitation sweeping through the myriad worlds now told him clearly and unmistakably.

The "Ancestral God" believed in by the Doomsday Dao Court had likely truly returned!

Immeasurable Realm!

The situation instantly became unprecedentedly complex and dangerous.

A great era was about to arrive, a true era of Chaos.

In this chaotic situation, how should the Yao Race conduct itself?

Meanwhile, inside the Eastern Profound Hall, Chen Yuan looked toward the sky.

"It really never stops. Just as I broke through to the Perfection Realm, an even bigger wolf arrives."

He looked at the System; he still had over 500 trillion Emotion Points left, enough for him to exchange for Heaven And Earth Treasures to break through his cultivation.
