Stop it, Taoist, Your Fight almost Ruins the DAO!

"With the cultivation of those eight within the Cosmic Sea, at this point, sooner or later they will be able to penetrate the mysteries within. Once someone ascends to the Other Shore first, this seat can no longer conceal my movements."

"Thinking about it now, it truly is a heavenly blessing."

The so-called Half-step Other Shore is a special stage before truly reaching the Other Shore Realm.

One might also call it a quasi-Other Shore Cultivator.

Cultivators in this state already possess part of the status and authority of Other Shore Cultivators, their strength far surpassing Dao Fruit Cultivators.

At this moment, if he desires to quickly ascend to the Other Shore, there are two paths: one is slowly accumulating strength for transformation, imprinting his Tao throughout the heavens; or, like Erthos who once ascended but retreated due to unforeseen circumstances, using the power origin stored in Constant Artifacts to swiftly repair his status.

As for the second path, it is slaughter.

Destroy all life within the Cosmic Sea, absorb everything, becoming the last living existence in the Cosmic Sea, reopening the world, and imprinting his Tao throughout the heavens, thus reaching the pinnacle of strength.

Such cultivators who imprint their Tao throughout the heavens are true complete Other Shore Cultivators.

"At most, in a little over an hour, I can absorb all this final golden light and fully repair my divine body."

"When I summon back the Red Prison, and those enslaved by the Red Prison are returned and refined, that will be the moment of my great Ersto regaining glory and authority."

"At that time, I will no longer be Half-step Other Shore but truly possess complete status and authority as a true Other Shore Cultivator."

"This time, though losing on one end and gaining on another, this seat has in fact turned misfortune into fortune, and profited greatly, yet also indicates that my opportunity has arrived, fortunate indeed."

Atop the altar, revealing his true form, Ersto looked at the Temple's dome, suddenly lamenting.

Marveling at the wonders of creation, even true Other Shore Cultivators dare not claim mastery over all creation.

"An hour, haha, truly anticipating the time when this seat emerges, the astonished, terrified, and awe-stricken expressions of those lambs I shepherd."

"Especially the remaining seven rams, facing this seat, what amusing expressions might unfold on their faces."

Ersto's hysterical laughter suddenly echoed within the black Temple.

At this moment, the entire Temple began to shake slightly as if the foundation had been removed.

The numerous divine pillars supporting the Temple for years began to crumble into fine flowing sand from the top.

With a bang, the Temple doors were the first to collapse into debris.

....

....

At this moment, after the Buddha Emperor completely annihilated the Lord of Phantoms, the Taoist Emperor, Buddha Emperor, and Demon Emperor exchanged glances and nodded mutually, paying no heed to saving the Illusion Sea Realm from its apocalyptic scene, for time is of the essence.

The slaying of the Lord of Phantoms went more smoothly than they had anticipated.

Only after actually acting did they realize the immense progress among themselves, while the Lord of Phantoms was far less improved. This imbalance, along with the restraint of the Dao Fruit, led to such a glorious victory without much disturbance.

Communicating through Divine Thought, the three joined forces again, stepping into an already prepared Transmission Array Plate with mutual understanding.

In a flash of golden light, their figures disappeared, and due to the massive pressure of long-distance transmission, the Transmission Array Plate swiftly crumbled.

As spatial ripples appeared, after traversing secret space nodes, the Taoist Emperor, Buddha Emperor, and Demon Emperor arranged themselves in a triangular formation outside the star path of the Amethyst Mother Realm.

To their surprise, this journey proceeded remarkably smoothly.

The Purple Gold Mother Realm still maintained its sealed state as it had before, with the whole Boundary Domain covered in layers of thick amethyst.

The sky's light penetrated the purple crystal wall, rendering everything beneath dreamlike.

"Truly... divine will."

"It seems today's divine will intends for the Holy Alliance's demise. Since Asna broke through, successfully surveying the heavens, the people of the Holy Alliance have grown more idle, calculating against each other, in stark contrast to us three sects, where despite having friction, we do not break and can advance and retreat together."

Gazing at the purple crystal wall, the Demon Emperor suddenly sighed.

Recalling how he was defeated by Asna back then, the matter had been a thorn in his side.

Now, having successfully cultivated the thirty-threefold War Demon God Pattern, he can finally match Asna again.

"I can feel Asna's presence; he is within his Immortal Hall."

"Buddha Emperor, Taoist Emperor, as Asna is already encircled by us, I ask you two fellow Taoists to assist, allowing this seat to measure Asna's worth."

"Hopefully, he won't be like the Lord of Phantoms, that mischievous woman, and disappoint me."

The Demon Emperor's gaze was domineering, immediately sweeping over the Taoist and Buddha Emperors, whose eyes instantly understood his tyrant thoughts.

The two exchanged a glance, and both stepped back gracefully.

Since the Demon Emperor had this intent, they might as well fulfill him, taking the chance to see just how far Asna and the Demon Emperor had reached in their cultivation.

"Thank you, both of you, fellow Taoists."

The Demon Emperor's face turned stern, suddenly letting out a long howl to the sky.

"Demon Heaven and Earth!"

"Asna, come out and see me, you weren't such a coward before!"

With the Demon Emperor's piercing howl, suddenly a towering figure appeared on the Star Road.

A gigantic black war boot suddenly descended, piercing through the purple crystal barrier sealing the entire Amethyst Mother Realm like a pillar holding up the sky, and crossing multiple layers of Gang Wind disaster, landing before the archway of Asna's Immortal Hall.

Crack!

A sharp, teeth-gritting sound came through.

The Demon Emperor tore with his great hand, easily ripping through all the purple crystal barriers blocking him as if tearing thin paper, lowering his eyes to survey the entire Amethyst Great World, yet couldn't help but frown.

Only after breaking the seal did he truly perceive the current strangeness of the Amethyst Mother Realm.

No life, not a single living soul.

There was only complete deathly silence.

"Asna, what tricks are you up to!"

"Have you misstepped in your cultivation, and your achievement has greatly regressed?"

Thud, thud, thud, thud.

The Demon Emperor's Demon Heaven Dharma Form stood gigantic and terrifying, he trampled as if crushing cockroaches, stepping one by one on Asna's Immortal Hall palace group, turning them to ash.

Though the palaces shone with multicolored brilliance, it was to no avail, each one exploding, leaving behind only ruins.

The war boot casually brushed through, directly lifting the dome of the central palace where Asna secluded himself, exposing his figure high on the throne.

"Demon Emperor, it seems you've made great progress over the years."

Asna looked up at the Demon Emperor, revealing his awe-inspiring Dharma Form, and sighed suddenly.

"Asna, enough nonsense, take a punch from me first!"

The Demon Emperor's face was indifferent, his Dharma Form moved, and a powerful fist shadow immediately struck down on Asna's head.

The violent aura shattered the Amethyst Throne Asna sat on into pieces.

At this moment, the Demon Emperor's face suddenly changed, and the Taoist Emperor and Buddha Emperor appeared solemnly.

"Damn it, you're not Asna's real body, you're just a mere facade, a mere Asna doppelganger with a misleading presence."

"Asna, where have you scurried off to."

The Demon Emperor's Dharma Form grabbed with a great hand, immediately yanking Asna under his nose like picking up a chick, roaring angrily.

At this moment, his heart felt like spewing blood, as if his punch had hit cotton.

"You... you all... will know in the future."

"I, Asna... will not be wrong... nor defeated."

"I didn't expect the three of you to strike... so decisively."

"Looking forward to the next meeting."

After Asna's doppelganger spell broke, his face bore a strangely sly smile, and he spoke intermittently.

Then with a crack, his cultivation body shattered into a ground full of purple crystal fragments, glinting brightly under the sky, dazzling the eyes.

At this moment, whether it was the Demon Emperor, Taoist Emperor, or Buddha Emperor, facing the sudden change, everyone felt a sense of unease.

Indeed... good things never come easy, and things inevitably went awry.

"No worries, regardless of where Asna has fled, our alliance of the three with the Holy Alliance cannot be overturned."

"Let's go and give old Bo Xun a hard time."

The Demon Emperor, with nowhere to vent his fury, immediately spoke coldly to the Buddha Emperor and Taoist Emperor once more.

....

....

At this moment, in the Yin Land.

Golden Asna, leading a group of attendants, was still trekking the road to find the King of Yin Land.
