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

What terrified them more was that the moment the formation was activated, whether it was because that eerie Red Crystal Water Drop had accumulated enough energy, or it had reached a critical rotational speed, it unexpectedly began to float and slowly drift just like the great sun touring the heavens, starting its patrol towards the First Layer Heaven.

It solidified everything, crystallized everything; nothing could stop it.

Whether it was the Wind Blade and Frost Sword, freezing fire, or the various Thunder Skills, all the tangible and intangible magic powers cast were immediately turned to dust by the Red Crystal Water Drop, unable to harm its body in the slightest.

Fortunately, the flying speed of the Red Crystal Water Drop was not fast; otherwise, none of the cultivators present could escape and would inevitably face doom.

At this moment, after exhausting all means, the powerful beings of the Second Layer Heaven, having just recovered from the shock, began to scatter and flee.

The Abnormal Demon's ferocity made them decide immediately to trust in the wisdom of the ancestors from the previous heavenly layers.

Thus, the news reached the Nine Layer Heavens, yet in the face of this small Red Crystal Water Drop, the renowned cultivators of the Constant Immortal Great Thousand World found themselves powerless to act.

However, after repeated probing, they did discover some secrets of the Red Crystal Water Drop.

As long as materials were constantly thrown into the area enveloped by the Red Crystal Water Drop, it could slightly delay its advance.

Therefore, the top-level cultivators immediately decided to abandon the First Layer Heaven, attempting to evacuate the living beings from there.

The blood and tears of all beings were naturally unnecessary to mention; everyone knew this was only a stopgap measure and couldn't completely solve the Red Crystal Disaster.

With the relentless passage of time, the First Layer Heaven began to fall, seemingly transforming into a Red Crystal World.

When the last tint of color vanished between heaven and earth, leaving only a red world, this sinister Red Crystal Water Drop moved again.

It started to advance toward the Second Layer Heaven.

Afterward, the Second Layer Heaven fell.

The Third Layer Heaven fell.

....

The Seventh Layer Heaven fell, and the Eighth Layer Heaven was also about to fall.

No one could stop the steps of this eerie Red Crystal Water Drop; at this time, the heavenly realm turned into a ghostly borough, and countless cultivators fought fiercely for a ticket to the Ninth Layer Heaven.

Because everyone knew, the Ninth Layer Heaven was the dwelling place of the great cultivators standing at the pinnacle of the Constant Immortal Realm; it was already the last fortress of the Constant Immortal Realm.

Now.

In the Ninth Layer Heaven.

No matter how chaotic the lower heavenly realms became, the Ninth Layer Heaven still maintained its former prosperity, continuing to present a magnificent mortal world scene, with the pristine appearance of the immortal family.

No, it was more prosperous than before.

Because of the Red Crystal Disaster, the Ninth Layer Heaven had gathered all the resources and elites from the previous eight heavenly layers, resembling a grand occasion.

Of course, it was a grand occasion for a few, a requiem for all beings.

At this moment.

On a majestic Green Hill surrounded by clouds and mist.

White cranes flew up to the Ninth Heaven, Green Hills and green waters extend an invitation, Ape-cries in gorges disturb deep dreams, Tiger roars in pine forests shake the jade waves.

Atop the mountain, the plaque of the Pure Yang Holy Palace gleamed magnificently under the celestial light.

Under a towering golden strange tree, a monk and a Taoist were playing chess.

"Yi Chunyang, the Red Crystal catastrophe is imminent, even though we have exerted all our efforts to reverse material with our cultivators, trying to stop the advancement of the Red Crystal Water Drop, yet the Eighth Layer Heaven is still nearing its fall, do you have any good strategies?"

"You ask me, who should I ask? If you have something to say, just say it plainly without beating around the bush."

Xiong Kui Daoist cast a glance at the monk in front of him, his eyes sharp, as if penetrating the innermost thoughts of the person before him in an instant.

"Still can't hide it from you." The tall monk chuckled awkwardly, then began to reveal the true intent of this visit.

"Now, in our Constant Immortal Realm, counting you as a rising star, there are only three beings who have reached the Sacred Immortal Realm. The Demon Lord and I have resolutely decided to use the last reserves we accumulated over the years to open a passage to another world. If we three join forces, success is assured; your opinion…"

The monk's words were interrupted by a cold gaze from the Taoist.

"Have you already decided to give up?"

The monk was silent for a while, facing the Taoist's gaze as sharp as a blade, he eventually turned his head aside, speaking in a low tone:

"We have done our best, even with the combined power of us three, we can barely touch the body of that Red Crystal Water Drop, let alone harm it even slightly. Are you going to let us watch the Constant Immortal Realm turn to ashes in tribulation?"

"The Constant Immortal Great Thousand World is beyond saving, we merely wish to preserve the last orthodoxy and vitality of the Constant Immortal Realm."

"If you leave, without your and the Demon Lord's support, the Eighth Layer Heaven will immediately fall, and the Ninth Layer Heaven, this last pure land, won't last a century either."

"So, today, have you come, Heavenly Buddha, to inform me?"

Xiong Kui Daoist's expression was indifferent as he immediately voiced his words, raising his head to stare directly at the person in front of him.

"Yes."

"Very well, if so, open the Heavenly Gate."

"You must not leave until ten years later."

"Withdraw all experts maintaining the formation in the Eighth Layer Heaven, and allow all who remain in the Eighth Layer Heaven into the Ninth Layer Heaven."

"It's already crowded enough, it doesn't matter if it gets a bit more crowded."

The Taoist pondered for a moment, then promptly stood up, saying,

"Just to let you know, this is also a notice!"

"If you don't agree to my terms, neither you nor the Demon Lord will leave."

"You.... Must it be like this, Yi Chunyang, as long as the Green Hill remains, there will be no fear of running out of firewood." The tall monk looked at the Taoist in front of him, speaking with a complex expression.

"Indeed, everyone has their own ambitions, and your choice is not wrong, but ultimately, some things matter more than life."

"You should know, I promised someone to protect this plaque of the Pure Yang Holy Palace."

"Although that old fool recklessly died under the Crystallized Divine Light of the Red Crystal Water Drop, I cannot break my promise."

"Moreover, the reason I could rise and achieve my cultivation today is largely due to the resources provided by the beings of the former eight heavenly layers." The Taoist said hoarsely.

If he hadn't promised an old fool, hesitating even for a moment today would have been disrespectful to oneself.

"This.... Very well."

"Yi Chunyang, may everything go as you wish, and I wish you success."

....

....

Ten years later.

Watching two imposing teams board flying boats and open the gateways to another Great Thousand World, the resolve in the Taoist's eyes deepened.

It had been a full twenty thousand years since his True Technique broke through to the thirtieth layer realm.

In these twenty thousand years, his True Technique had reached its limit, unable to advance any further.

"Old fool, this Jade Emperor World Suppressing Scripture is the supreme scripture you dug up from the Constant Immortal Realm, yet I still haven't fully comprehended the realm of immovable constancy and all things by heart. I hope your spirit in the heavens gives me strength, playing tricks on me is fine, just don't let it cost me my life."

The Taoist watched as the massive Holy Array kept reversing material to immerse the giant stone into the enormous Red Crystal Water Drop, beginning to make grinding and crunching sounds under the despairing gazes of countless beings.

Pure Yang Daoist Yi Chunyang did not follow the Demon Lord and Buddha Lord to leave, nor enter that void portal unattainable by countless cultivators, but rather turned into a streak of flight light.

Instantly, the bright light overwhelmed the Eighth Layer Heaven.

Almost in the blink of an eye, the Taoist's Soul began to grow boundlessly, and his cultivation body started to extend endless Extreme Origin to counter the Crystallized Evil Light of the Red Crystal Water Drop.

One crystallized everything, one destroyed everything.

Relying on the endless support of Extreme Origin, the Taoist finally arrived beside the bizarre Red Crystal Water Drop.

"Indeed, I can't kill you now, but do you think you can defeat me?"

"Come, I also want to see where my limit lies."

"In the realm of immovable constancy, if not success, then death!"

The Taoist's gaze was domineering; in the shocked eyes of other Immortal Platform cultivators in the Constant Immortal Realm, he suddenly opened his Soul wide, swallowing the Red Crystal Water Drop into his stomach.

The endless confrontation began to unfold within the Taoist's body.
