Chapter 263: Candle Dragon and Dao
“clang!”

In the vast expanse of water, a giant island that was millions of kilometers long and wide suddenly shook slightly, and then shook violently, causing huge waves in the surrounding waters.

After an unknown amount of time, an extremely huge head slowly emerged from the water and looked towards the sky.

Heart-shaking bell sounds rang out one after another, spreading to every corner of the vast world, alarming countless beings.

The bell rang nine times in succession, the heaven and earth shook nine times in succession, and countless beings were awakened.

In Zixiao Palace, Su Ze slowly opened his eyes, his pupils flashed with a gleam, and he slowly recovered from the chaos and clarity.

As his mind moved, a clear bell sounded, and a huge chaos bell appeared out of thin air above his head, spinning rapidly. Outside the bell were the sun, moon, stars, earth, water, fire and wind surrounding it. Inside the bell were mountains and rivers, and all the ancient races were hidden in it. Billions of five-colored lights hung down, illuminating the universe.

Su Ze looked up at the precious bell that was connected to his thoughts, stretched out his hand and grasped it, and the precious bell was in his hand.

Immediately feeling the indescribable terrifying power contained in the Chaos Bell, he had a premonition that even with his current strength, he could easily shatter a small world by activating the bell.

If one uses Zixiao Palace to borrow the power of the ancient world, it is possible to destroy the entire world with one blow.

“Finally I have the power to protect myself!”

Su Ze smiled slightly, opened his mouth and swallowed the precious bell into his stomach.

He stood up straight and looked in a certain direction.

The three great innate treasures, in addition to the Chaos Bell, are the Tai Chi Diagram and Pangu Banner. These two treasures are now sleeping in the ancient times. It is time to take them back.

Thinking of this, Su Ze’s mind moved and he raised his leg and took a step forward.

However, when the door in front of him opened, he paused, and a look of surprise suddenly appeared on his face.

“Is there anyone in Hedao?”

He stopped, stretched out his hand and pointed. A light screen appeared in front of his eyes and quickly opened to reveal a picture.

In a vast and desolate world, thousands of dragons are flying among the mountains. Countless real dragons are circling between heaven and earth, all looking towards the distant sky, at the huge dragon body that spans the sky and earth.

“This is?”

Su Ze drew a line with his finger, and the light curtain split into two. On the other side, a scene also surrounded by thousands of dragons appeared, and a familiar figure came into his sight.

“Is it Zhulong?”

“She’s going to merge with the Dao?”

Just by looking at this scene, Su Ze immediately knew what had happened. He also knew why Zhulong had not returned after more than two thousand years when he clearly said that it would only take a thousand years to be promoted.

The reason is simple, another challenger was born in the dragon clan’s ancestral land.

Another dragon god also relied on the ancestral land to cross the limit of the sixth level and was about to enter the seventh level.

At the same time, the True Dragon clan gave birth to two ancient dragons who were about to enter the seventh level, but the dragon clan can only have one ancestor dragon, so it will be a life-and-death battle between them.

Both sides have the support of a large number of real dragons. If they fight, both sides will suffer losses and the dragon clan will be weakened.

So the two sides agreed that they would go through the tribulation at the same time, and whoever could successfully survive the tribulation would become the new ancestor dragon of the dragon clan.

And at this moment, these two dragon gods are undergoing tribulation at the same time.

If it had happened before, Su Ze would have had no idea about this and would not have been able to help Zhu Long.

But now he is in charge of Zixiao Palace and possesses a portion of the authority over heaven, including control over heavenly calamities and heavenly punishments.

As soon as Su Ze thought of this, he had an idea. He stretched out his hand and a force of creation flew out.

In the ancestral land of the dragon clan, the sky, which was originally clear and blue, was now covered by clouds of calamity. Two enormous whirlpools of lightning were suspended billions of kilometers apart. In the center of the whirlpools was a huge calamity eye, from which cold and ruthless calamity gushed out, filling the entire world.

Whether in the prehistoric times or in the main world, the heavenly tribulation becomes simpler as time goes on.

The heavenly tribulations during the Dan and Yuanying stages are extremely complex, with hundreds of types in total. However, after the Shenhua stage, the types are drastically reduced to only a few, but their power increases dramatically.

The main component of the heavenly tribulation above the Spirit Transformation stage is thunder tribulation, but it contains the true meaning of the law. The tribulation of the heart demon separated from the golden elixir and primordial infant tribulation, the heavenly demon from outside the domain, etc. are all integrated into the thunder tribulation.

With one blow, not only the physical body and magic power need to be tested, but also the comprehension of the laws, spiritual consciousness, and even the soul and the concept of the Tao need to be comprehensively tested. If there is a flaw in any one of them, there will be no recovery.

The horrifying calamity that made many dragons feel suffocated enveloped the entire ancestral land of the dragon clan. All the dragons, no matter which side they supported, fell from the sky, lying on the ground and looking up at the sky.

Every true dragon here is above level four, there are many level five true dragons, and even quite a few level six dragon gods.

It’s just that these sixth-order dragon gods are not ancient dragons, and they cannot compete with the two ancient dragons who are undergoing tribulation for the status of ancestor dragon.

Two ancient dragons, thousands of miles long, spanned the sky, hovering in the clouds and looking up at the sky.

Zhulong’s slender body was hidden in the clouds, its huge head facing the sky, feeling the omnipresent terror above its head and between the world. Golden mist flowed in its huge pupils, and its expression was extremely serious.

She also didn’t expect that there was an ancient dragon in the dragon clan’s ancestral land, and he had also successfully taken that step.

On the road of evolution, if she doesn’t move forward, she will move backward, and she can’t retreat.

If she retreats, she will lose the authority of the dragon clan forever and will never be able to reach a higher level.

But at this moment she was not calm and felt a little uneasy because in terms of strength and accumulation, she could not compare with her competitors.

The opponent was born in the ancestral land of the dragon clan. He was born with the luck of billions of dragon clan members. He transformed into an ancient dragon hundreds of thousands of years ago and is the ancestor dragon of the dragon clan destined by heaven.

If he had not been enlightened by his master and awakened the ancient dragon bloodline, he would now be just an ordinary dragon, and actually would not have much dragon luck.

“Owner!”

“Perhaps, I won’t be able to see you again.”

Zhulong slowly closed his eyes and recalled the happy times he had with his master, from the time he first transformed, to the time when the relationship went beyond master and servant, to the final expectations of his master.

Zhulong opened his eyes again, his eyes full of determination.

“I can’t admit defeat!”

“Buzz!”

Invisible ripples swept across the heaven and earth, and all the dragons felt a chill in their hearts, knowing that the catastrophe of unity had begun.

The two dragon gods looked up at the sky with sharp eyes. The eye of disaster slowly turned, and after a period of changes, it slowly emerged into a cold and ruthless pupil, and unimaginable pressure came down.

However, compared to the horror felt by the other ancient dragon, whose dragon scales collapsed all over his body, the Zhulong on the other side was stunned.

Above her head was also a cold and ruthless Eye of Heaven, but in her eyes, behind that cold pupil, appeared a face that she missed very much.

“Owner!”

“boom!”

Two earth-shaking thunders came down, like pillars of lightning that spanned the sky and earth, smashing heavily on the two real dragons, shattering large pieces of dragon scales and sending dragon blood flying.

In just a few seconds, accompanied by a deafening roar, two more sky-high lightning pillars rumbled down.

The terrifying thunder splashed out, forming a boiling sea of ​​thunder with the two ancient dragons as the center. In the Zixiao Palace, Su Ze stood in front of the light curtain. On the two light curtains were the scenes of two ancient dragons transcending tribulation, the right one was Zhulong, and the left one was another real dragon.

The vortex of the heavenly tribulation is exactly the same in size, the eye of the tribulation is exactly the same, the pressure it exudes is exactly the same, the power of the lightning pillar that strikes down is exactly the same, and the miserable condition of the two ancient dragons in the lightning pillar is exactly the same.

However, the status of the two sides at this time is very different.

Su Ze used the authority of the Heavenly Dao to directly adjust the power of the heavenly tribulation of both sides by 500%, but made slight adjustments to the details.

The other ancient dragon’s calamity was indeed increased by 500%, including the power of calamity thunder, power of law, heart demon, mind, soul, etc., which were simultaneously increased by 500%.

The power of Zhulong’s heavenly tribulation was only increased by 500%, but the power in other aspects not only remained unchanged, but was weakened by 50%.

So even though both sides were hacked to pieces and looked miserable, the actual damage they suffered was several times different.

The power of the Tribulation of Unity was already ridiculously strong, and if it was strengthened by 500%, even a being like Gu Long, who was known for his physique, would not be able to withstand it.

In just five rounds, the two ancient dragons were hacked to pieces, and large pieces of their flesh turned into nothingness.

The power from the calamity of Hedao suppressed the ancient dragon’s indestructible dragon body, and the broken flesh could not be repaired. However, Zhulong’s calamity of Hedao was increasing in strength but decreasing in reality. The power of the heavenly calamity could not completely suppress the indestructible dragon body, and her injuries could be recovered quickly.

As one side gained strength, the other side lost strength, and the difference in status between the two sides was quickly determined.

The seventh calamity of the combined Dao directly shattered half of the ancient dragon’s body, and Zhulong’s attack.
Su Ze temporarily intervened and reduced the power by half, and with one blow, the skin and flesh were torn apart.

This unusual phenomenon stunned many real dragons who were watching the tribulation, but they didn’t know what was happening.

The eighth catastrophe that followed immediately destroyed most of the ancient dragon’s body, leaving only a dragon head hanging in the air.

Zhulong only had a few dragon scales broken off, and not even a hole was blown out under his skin.

“I’m not pretending anymore, I’m showing off my cards!”

Su Ze adjusted the heavenly tribulation again, increasing its power by 1000% on the existing basis, while Zhulong’s heavenly tribulation was weakened again.

A beam of lightning that no true dragon could bear to look at fell, and a miserable dragon roar came to an abrupt end.

The clouds in the sky dissipated, rain fell from the sky, and flowers fell from the ceiling. A dragon shadow fell from the eye of disaster and entered the body of Zhulong, which was hovering in the air and transformed into a cocoon of light.

Su Ze knew that this dragon shadow was the true spirit of the Ancestral Dragon.

Zhulong survived the catastrophe of unity and successfully inherited the true spirit of Zulong, officially becoming the new Zulong.

The so-called conformity with the Tao means conformity with this Tao.

Like Zhulong Hedao, he inherited the legacy of the Ancestral Dragon.

If a serious cultivator is in harmony with the Tao, he is in harmony with a law, such as the law of water, the law of fire, time, life, death, killing and so on.

After achieving the Dao, one will be in charge of this law and be called a Golden Immortal.

Su Ze breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Zhulong successfully merge with the Dao.

He doesn’t need to worry about it anymore. She will come back when she is promoted to Zulong.

He now has to go and retrieve the Tai Chi diagram and Pangu Banner.

In the Xuanyu Small Thousand World, Su Ze’s long period of seclusion did not affect Xuan Zong. With the true bodies of the three ancestor witches in charge, there is no opponent in this world.

The alliance headed by the Shao family was blocked outside the boundary by the incarnation of the ancestor witch Dijiang, unable to move forward or backward, unable to leave, and unable to get external support.

Every fleet coming from outside is seized. In the past few decades, the base outside the world has seized more than 20 fifth-level void battleships.

At this stage they can still hold on, but other ordinary forces in the alliance can hardly hold on.

It’s not that the resources are exhausted, but that the long-term severance of contact with the main world has caused chaos within many forces, and some have even taken the opportunity to create internal strife and become independent.

Most of the Yuanying forces came to Xuanzong secretly, promising to remain neutral, and some even joined Xuanzong’s side.

But the Xuanzong Elders’ Council did not give them any chance and insisted on only one condition, which was to withdraw from this world.

Either be trapped and die in this world, or withdraw your own forces from the Xuanyu Small Thousand World.

Baiwan Dashan, it has been nearly fifty years since the destruction of the Wuji Sect.

Unlike the sects in the Qianlong Mountains, which still had twenty years to slowly withdraw, the sects in the Baiwan Mountains only had one time to consider: either leave or merge into the Xuan Sect.

Relying on the absolute force of force, the complete occupation of millions of mountains was completed in just two years.

Then, it was time to rest and recuperate in a ship like the Qianlong Mountains.

The territory and spiritual veins of the Million Mountains are three times that of the Thousand Dragon Mountains. There are three fifth-level spiritual veins alone and forty or fifty fourth-level spiritual veins, which is enough to accommodate more disciples.

After discussion by the Council of Elders, a branch mountain gate was established at Wangyue Mountain in the center of the Million Mountains. As the core of the Million Mountains, it forms a triangle with Danxia Peak and Wuji Peak, radiating to the entire Million Mountains.

As for the area where the northern part of the Western Region borders the Northern Region, there are only three Nascent Soul Sects, and there is not even a fifth-level spiritual vein.

Xuanzong only sent envoys twice, and the three sects were merged into Xuanzong’s group.

After merging many Nascent Soul and God Transformation sects and confiscating the treasuries of twenty to thirty sects, Xuan Sect’s foundation quickly caught up with the sect’s strength and became one of the top forces in the entire Xuanyu Small Thousand World.

On the surface, they are not the strongest, because there are two super sects in the Central Region with a history of more than 200,000 years, and there are more than one cultivators who have reached the perfect state of transformation.

Therefore, the main focus of the work of the Xuan Sect Elders Group is now in the Central Region, and they have been collecting information on the various sects in the Central Region for a long time.

There is not much to say about the Northern Territory. The Northern Territory is bitterly cold. There is only one fifth-tier spiritual vein in the entire Northern Territory, and there are less than ten Nascent Soul sects in total, so it is easy to deal with.

The overall strength of the Southern Region was stronger than that of the original Western Region, but that was in the past. It is definitely not as strong as the current Xuanzong now.

The Eastern Region is close to Xuanyu Immortal City. The first stop for cultivators from the human main world is the Eastern Region. Its strength has been increasing over the past few thousand years, and its comprehensive strength now far exceeds that of other regions and is second only to the Central Region.

Su Ze has been in seclusion and has not come out. Now the decision-making for Xuanzong is made by the Elders’ Council. When there are many people, there are many ideas. So the most discussed issue in the Elders’ Council now is the next strategic direction.

Some wanted to capture the northern region first.

Another group felt that the northern region was bitterly cold and there was little point in conquering it, so it would be better to conquer the southern region first.

There was also a small group that thought it would be better to attack the Eastern Region first. After all, the incarnation of the leader had already blocked this world. Most of the main world forces, big and small, residing in the Eastern Region did not have the support of the main world and had limited strength. It would be better to capture the Eastern Region first, seize Xuanyu Immortal City, and then slowly erode away at various regions.

Among the three ideas, support for the second and third are equally divided, while only a very small number support the first.

So the situation is deadlocked here now, and neither side can convince the other.

The only person who could change the situation was the Sect Leader’s wife, Lin Suxin, who had been practicing in seclusion all these years and never interfered in Xuanzong’s affairs.

This situation continued until Su Ze successfully recovered the Tai Chi diagram and Pangu Banner, and then he had time to come out.

After being affectionate with his wives and concubines, instructing his two sons on their cultivation, and understanding Xuanzong’s development, he gave direct instructions:

“Attack the East Region first!”
