Chapter 1667 - 226: Seven Saints and Three Demons

Chapter 1667: Chapter 226: Seven Saints and Three Demons

The bonfire flickered.

Xie Xuanyi sat cross-legged atop the Mountain Peak of Wangyou Island. This had "once" been the place where he and Lord Duan drank without ever getting drunk. Now, having returned a thousand years into the past, time seemed not to have left many marks upon this cliff. The rocks were as before, the forest lush and verdant; a light breeze blew past, lifting his robes and long hair... only, in the eyes of those Servant Children, all of this was nothing but "Chaos."

In their view, the man now sitting before the bonfire, and that wavering flame itself, were in essence not much different.

Unseeable, invisible.

"So... there is more than one Dao One?"

Master Xuanwei placed both hands upon her knees and leaned forward in disbelief.

She scrutinized the young man before her.

The Heavenly Human Divine Thought she had sent out was all bounced back by the Chaos.

"I have already sent word to inquire. Last night, in the Northern World, a great war has just broken out."

The Wangyou Island Master said solemnly, "Though Dao One possesses the Extreme Speed under heaven, no matter what, it’s impossible for him to flee from the Northern World to here in a single night..."

At this moment, Xie Xuanyi was looking up at the Divine Thought Scroll floating before the bonfire.

This was the continental map provided by the Wangyou Island Master.

The world of a thousand years ago was far larger than one might imagine... To traverse from north to south, one had to cross at least a hundred thousand li.

"Tsk."

Master Xuanwei narrowed her eyes, rubbing her chin.

"I think I roughly know who this ’Dao One’ you speak of is."

Faced with such scrutinizing, Xie Xuanyi let out a helpless sigh.

To reverse-cross the River of Destiny, to violate the iron laws of the Great Dao, was to be branded by the Heavenly Dao world.

In such a case.

Branded along with him would naturally be Lu Yuzhen.

"You know him quite well?"

The Wangyou Island Master frowned.

"It should... count as that."

Xie Xuanyi thought silently for a moment, then said.

Though he was unwilling to admit it, he and Lu Yuzhen were indeed very familiar.

Not long ago, the two had fought with all their might, seeking to decide life and death.

Yet now, they had become "jackals of the same lair."

In this world.

He and Lu Yuzhen were both "outsiders." Once branded by the Heavenly Dao, perhaps no one would care which of them was Dao One.

"You are indeed different from the rumors."

Xuanwei pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "You are very powerful, but you are not a bad person."

She could sense the terrifying blood energy on Xie Xuanyi’s body, vast as the sea.

If it truly came to a fight to the death.

Even if she and her senior brother joined forces, they likely would not have much chance of victory.

"I..."

Xie Xuanyi’s expression stirred.

He wanted to open his mouth and speak of his ties to Wangyou Island and Xuanwei Island, but with just the slightest movement of thought, he felt a powerful intent blocking him.

Heavenly Dao suppression.

He could not speak of the matters a thousand years hence.

As a "Reversal Traveler," he had already violated the iron laws of the Great Dao, going against the current; if he were to divulge events of a thousand years later, it would provoke Cause and Effect to flow in reverse.

Thus.

In the final analysis, he was merely a traveler.

The Great Tribulation would still come to pass.

These Heavenly People, those destined to fall, those fated to die—none of them would be able to escape.

"Where will you go next?"

The Wangyou Island Master suddenly asked.

He was filled with curiosity toward this "Chaos" before him, yet he also knew that under the suppression of the Heavenly Dao Rules, many matters could not be spoken of, could not be traced.

Under the heavens.

There were actually two Dao Ones.

"The whole world is searching for Dao One."

Xie Xuanyi lowered his eyes, a self-mocking smile on his face. "Naturally, I must search for him as well."

He had to figure out what was going on with all of this.

If his guess was right.

He should have "retrospected" to an even earlier segment of Space-Time than before.

In Lu Yuzhen’s hands was an item named the Time Scroll; this treasure should contain some extremely important information.

"Dao One is in the Northern World, confronting a host of powerful foes, fighting as he moves south."

The Wangyou Island Master rose to his feet and pointed into the distance.

He said softly, "If you set off now and head all the way north, you should be able to find him in the ’Nanzhan Country.’"

...

...

Nanzhan Country.

Over the Ten Thousand Great Mountains, heavy clouds pressed low. A dozen streams of radiance rode upon the clouds of heaven, flashing across the firmament as they pursued a snow-white phantom.

Each of these streams of radiance emanated a powerful aura.

The weakest among them had reached Yang God Perfection.

In the end.

The snow-white phantom of its own accord halted and alighted atop a small mountain.

As for those pursuers, they withdrew their Divine Skills and slowly descended in all directions. One after another, towering and immense dharmas rose, soaring between heaven and earth.

A snow-white True Dragon, a Phoenix wreathed in blue flames, a golden-gleaming giant ape.

In addition, there was a Great Flood Dragon, a Vermilion Bird, a Qilin, a Demon fox...

Each one of these dharmas could be called "piercing the heavens and rending the earth." They loomed taller than mountains, and the pressure they released was enough to crush the very void.

In such a comparison.

The snow-white phantom encircled by these many dharmas seemed thin and frail.

In that Golden Era a thousand years ago.

The ten most famous monstrous geniuses of the Northern World were known as the "Seven Little Saints" and the "Three Great Demons."

All had arrived.

At this moment, the Phoenix of blue flames among the Three Great Demons slowly spoke, her voice cold.

"Dao One."

Qing Huang said faintly, "If you surrender now and offer your head, I can grant you a swift death."

"..."

In the face of such words, Dao One merely remained silent.

Between heaven and earth.

Faint paper snow began to fall.

Within the paper snow there mingled a subtle bloody aura.

All the way from north to south, over nearly a hundred thousand li, he had fought these ten top-tier Strong Persons in turn, battling and killing, and had suffered serious injuries. The reason he had fallen here was because he truly had no strength left. Rather than continue south, he might as well stake everything on this place, and fight a desperate battle.

"Still you struggle?"

Seeing this, Qing Huang spoke coldly, "Stubborn and incorrigible."

With that said.

That towering Phoenix Dharma suddenly opened its beak and spat forth a tide of Karmic Fire as vast as a tsunami.

In an instant.
