Chapter 374 Great Wedding?!

Kaiming Zai stared blankly at Wei Yuan.

When did you get so bold?

Wei Yuan said matter-of-factly, "Jue isn't here."

"But you know, if you had leaked this information before, I wouldn't have minded replacing you, Kaiming."

"You have many incarnations, right?"

The Daoist joked, "So, the main body takes turns; next year, it's my turn."

Wei Yuan felt no guilt in scheming against this guy, who, to some extent, treated him as a chess piece and had also schemed against Jue. Kaiming frowned and said, "But with your current strength and status, no one would object."

Wei Yuan looked at the girl and said, "Because I don't intend to force a marriage with power."

"What would people say then? That the Yuanshi Tianzun is forcing the Kunlun Heavenly Maiden to marry him?"

The Daoist murmured to himself, "Perhaps I'm too self-centered."

"But I still feel that if one party loses the blessings of all their friends and family for the sake of so-called eternal companionship, is that not also a form of selfishness? Sacrificing the other side to satisfy one's own 'desires'? Just consider it my stubbornness, that my humanity hasn’t been purged completely."

"I hope Jue marries me with the blessings of all her friends, not with the Xuanhuang Zhutian Qingyun (Mystical Yellow Heavens Celebration Clouds) suppressing all the heavens."

"It would be fine if power was used to suppress me."

"But from Jue's perspective, it's ultimately not equal and not respectful enough." Kaiming lowered his eyes, his frivolous expression fading, revealing the dignity of one of the Three Kunlun Gods. He said:

"This matter may be difficult, but I will help you, but not because of your threat."

"Only because of that last sentence of yours."

"Also, I want to ask, has your growth to this point meant that those strong humans have also bet their future on you as this anchor point? So they've been investing in you in every lifetime?"

"No..."

"There may be such people among the human race, but they are not."

The Daoist turned around, and the figures of Fuzi, the Teacher, Laozi, and Xuanzang flashed before his eyes. Finally, he said in a gentle tone:

"No design, no exploitation, no chess pieces."

"It's just that the human ancestors saw that the child walking by the roadside had a difficult fate, so they were willing to lend a hand, that's all."

"So, even seeing all directions, you still don't understand people."

...

Outside the Nine Heavens Gate--

The battle between the Zhuzhao Jiuyou (Torchlight of Nine Underworlds) Dragon and the true form of Kunlun Kaiming became increasingly fierce. Countless chaotic streams of laws, like a long river, surged and roared out from the nine heavenly gates, their laws cooperating and complementing each other, creating a spectacle as vast as an entire world.

But such a surging attack was still frozen in the dim yellow light of time, gradually losing its power.

Finally, it transformed into a magnificent beauty, like a fiery tree of silver flowers.

Zhujiuyin's true form swam slowly within the embrace of the laws of time. As its scales opened and closed, it was as if golden-red fire shot out, its power terrifying. Accompanied by the dragon's roar, it tore apart most of the laws, but when that terrifying power landed, the nine heavenly gates suddenly closed.

Their momentum was majestic, their aura magnificent, closing off the inside and outside, sealing off the pure and the impure.

Zhujiuyin's dragon claws were enough to tear apart the core of the world and crush the continental shelf, but when they landed on the Nine Heavens Gates, it was merely the collision of dragon claws and bronze heavenly gates, emitting deafening sounds like the extinction of a star. The golden thunderbolts that shot out landed on the ground, causing even this blessed land, painstakingly created by Kaiming, to shake and crumble. Cracks appeared in the void, revealing clear and visible patterns, profound and infinite.

Then, it was collided and worn down by the massive divine dragon body of the Zhuzhao Jiuyou Dragon, directly cracking. The sound of booming explosions continued to erupt.

This represented the secret blessed land of the nine-headed heavenly god Kaiming, a place that even Xiwangmu and Lu Wu did not know about.

It had already begun to collapse to a certain extent.

The laws and foundations of the array that constructed this mysterious blessed land were collapsing at a terrifying rate every second.

Zhujiuyin's enormous pupils narrowed slightly, as if the entire heaven and earth were pressing down, the four directions above and below, dark and heavy. The golden time bombarded the bronze heavenly gates, but it had no effect at all. Although it was within expectations, it still made Zhujiuyin's expression slightly heavy.

Both sides were more adept at behind-the-scenes planning than outright slaughter.

Relatively speaking, they should be stronger in slaughter than in cause and effect and destiny, and slightly inferior to these two in planning and strategy.

Until the Dao of Cause and Effect bore a monster.

Who directly kicked off in the direction of decisive and unparalleled slaughter and ran wild without looking back.

Such a battle between the two sides had lasted for an unknown amount of time when suddenly, from within the Nine Heavens Gate, Kaiming's voice was astonished: "This, this is..." The astonishment in his voice grew heavier and heavier, and finally, it almost turned into ecstasy. He laughed loudly: "Hahaha, so that's how it is, so that's how it is!"

"I was wondering why you were unwilling to act for so long, why you only trapped me." "So, Zhujiuyin, you've actually softened!"

"Only ninety percent of your origin exists!"

"You, hahaha, the Zhuzhao Jiuyou Dragon, who was once ruthless, heartless, fearless, and devoid of the five fears, actually left ten percent of your origin for that [mistake] that was born because of Fuxi's design, the offering at Zhongshan Chishui, hahaha, when did you become so softhearted?!"

"And so foolish!"

"Daring to come here to compete with me when your own origin is deficient?!"

This time, the nine heavenly gates opened together, and they were directly blasted open. Countless brilliant lights gathered, vast and boundless, and then they rushed out directly. Kaiming, dressed in gorgeous clothes, was surrounded by countless streams of laws, revealing the strange form of nine heads, penetrating the life and death of the Netherworld, the past and the future, directly stripping and locking the Zhuzhao Jiuyou Dragon in front of him from all directions.

The countless chaotic streams of laws that had previously been frozen in time now all rioted!

Then, they all locked onto Zhujiuyin's true form.

Kaiming's previous moves were forcibly frozen in time by Zhujiuyin, but this did not mean that the impact of these laws had directly disappeared and turned into nothingness. The current situation was equivalent to all the power Kaiming had unleashed in the confrontation over the past so long erupting at the same time.

Kaiming's black hair fluttered slightly backward, and the pupils of his golden eyes were finally dyed with the original purple.

Between his brows was a hint of arrogance and pride. He stretched out his five fingers, and the nine heavenly gates spanned the sky! "Open your eyes wide and watch carefully, Zhujiuyin!"

"Even if you can freeze the surrounding time, your power is by no means limitless. As long as I keep attacking in these chaotic streams of time, accumulating power that even your cultivation cannot control, time will begin to flow again. At that time, it will be equivalent to all of my moves in the past few months attacking together."

"That is, countless of me have acted together over the past few months. Even Dijun could not erupt with such power in one breath."

"Zhujiuyin, I should thank you. You must watch carefully too." "This is a unique skill that will never exist in the past and cannot be reproduced in the future."

Kaiming stretched out his hand, his voice low and arrogant, overwhelming and calm, word by word, like a heavy hammer striking the air: "Sitting and Seeing All Directions - All Directions Extinguished!"

The dim yellow amber of time solidified, and then strands of cracks appeared before his eyes, and then they cracked. The laws that Kaiming had continuously erupted in the confrontation over the past few months erupted at the same time. It was already a force that was almost comparable to the vastness of the sky, and in terms of pure power, it was by no means inferior to the Heavenly Emperor's rotation of the galaxy.

It even exceeded it to some extent.

The body of Zhujiuyin, which was thousands of miles long, opened his eyes for day and closed his eyes for night, slowly swam. The golden-red scales contracted inward.

The concept of the world of [Jiuyou] covered his body. Equivalent to the pure realms of life and death.

A cold and calm voice fell in his heart—finally, he took the bait.

If he always hid inside the Nine Heavens Gate and never came out, even Zhujiuyin would not be able to take down Kaiming. Only by giving him enough opportunities could he be tempted by profit and take the initiative to attack. But...

If I had known, I should have taken back all my heritage. Zhujiuyin mocked himself in his heart.

Miscalculation... He would probably suffer a serious injury from this move. His body coiled, and his scales contracted further inward.

Around the divine dragon body of thousands of miles, countless brilliant lights erupted together, like a falling galaxy, magnificent and grand, with a chilling killing intent, like the extinction of the universe. Zhujiuyin's eyes narrowed slightly, and Kaiming laughed loudly. Suddenly, accompanied by the melodious sound of a sword, a cyan sword fell, cutting through a certain law just right.

Thus, the cause and effect of this law were reversed.

The law deviated toward another direction, colliding with another stream of law. In an instant, it seemed to produce a chain reaction. Just right, all the laws collided together, and then they violently erupted. It was clearly a force that was comparable to the power of the Heavenly Emperor in terms of magnitude, but in an instant, all of it, shattered!!!

Zhujiuyin's eyes widened slightly. His golden pupils froze. Kaiming's laughter solidified.

Countless streams of law erupted together, surrounding Zhujiuyin's body, but not even a trace of harm fell on him. Just right, magnificent and grand, it was like a unique firework. In this extravagant scenery of a Daoguo realm unleashing its full power, the Zhuzhao Jiuyou Dragon slowly swam in the dim yellow years, the cyan sword light flowing and changing, surrounding the divine dragon, silently, yet like the most magnificent scene in mythology.

Because the collision of laws was too vast and grand, it had a feeling of deathly silence. In this silence, suddenly there was the sound of sleeves fluttering slightly, like feathers falling from a bird's wings.

When the sword light fell, the Daoist in white hair and cyan clothes stood calmly before the Zhuzhao Jiuyou Dragon. Without warning!

It was as if he had always been here from the beginning.

No coming, no going, no cause, no effect.

No beginning, no end.

That is Yuanshi.

Existing in all things, yet not existing in all things, Floating Li Jade Void Yuanshi Great Heavenly Lord.

The cyan sleeves fluttered, the Daoist's hair was tied up with a black hairpin, white hair falling to his waist, and two strands of hair on his temples fell obediently. He turned his head to look at the huge and magnificent true form of the Candle Dragon behind him, a golden sword mark on his brow, his eyes deep and secluded like an immeasurable abyss, with cause and effect entangled within. Any living being who looked directly into his eyes would seem to fall into the abyss of cause and effect.

This moment was like a reenactment of the past.

It was as if the gray-robed man had appeared before that weak crouching tiger before.

The embarrassed crouching tiger fell, and the indifferent-looking god in the gray robe and wooden hairpin lowered his eyes, holding an umbrella in his hand, standing before him.

In an instant, it was as if he had crossed thousands of years of sight, and the mortal of that year had become strong enough to stand before the divine dragon. Wei Yuan turned his gaze, his sleeves were wide, and the cyan sword light flew into his sleeves, looking at the nine heavenly gates:

"It only has quantity, but it's a loose mess."

"Just a rabble."

"Is this the full power of countless of you in the past?"

Qingping Sword fell into his hand, and he said calmly: "It seems that it is only worth a sword." Countless laws shattered, and the momentum was magnificent.

Under the silence of this magnificent move, Kaiming's pupils contracted, staring at the Daoist in front of him, his eyes widening slightly. It was as if the past flashed back before his eyes, and he saw that sword that was clearly extremely old but whose sword energy soared to the sky, finally abandoning the Dao with a single sword, tearing everything apart, and finally slashing through his heavenly gate at that time.

Wei Yuan said, "Sorry, Zhujiuyin is my old friend."

"I can't let you hurt him."

"Also,"

The Daoist raised the sword in his hand, and sword energy escaped:

"Do you still remember the wandering hero of Datang Chang'an under Kunlun Mountain back then?"

Kaiming's expression changed drastically: "It's you!!!"

Then, without hesitation, he retreated violently, and then the nine heavenly gates smashed down together, closing abruptly, layer upon layer flying directly backward, the heavenly gates constructed from outside the nine heavens, just as the real Kaiming had expected, after detecting Wei Yuan, Kaiming's main body retreated violently.

Wei Yuan's lips curled slightly: "Why do you think I wanted you to remember your previous experience?"

He sighed in a way that he felt was very much like the Yuanshi Tianzun:

"You shouldn't have remembered."

Layers of cause and effect appeared between the two in an instant.

The next moment, the Daoist's figure appeared before Kaiming.

This was the wonderful use of cause and effect, and also the most unreasonable and special point of the law of cause and effect. However, theoretically speaking, this move was very useless. The [Lord of Cause and Effect] was the least good at fighting and the least good at conquest. Therefore, for the strong in the Dao of Cause and Effect, this move could be used, but they would not use it.

This was no different from courting death.

But Wei Yuan was just that kind of person, who was clearly the Dao of Cause and Effect, but was the best at slaughter!

For my and Jue's wedding.

The white-haired Daoist stretched out his hand, his five fingers drooping slightly, as if the origin of countless causes and effects, becoming more vast and more magnificent, as if there was a kind of illusion even greater than the heavenly gate, falling toward Kaiming's main body, unavoidable, inescapable, unreceivable.

"Please, fellow Daoist, submit here."

Cause and Effect--

Unavoidable!
