A person in the heavens, starting with a Chaos Emperor Dao Fruit

"Ancestor Mozhu..."

Whether it was Nuwa's camp or the Wujian Sect, everyone fell silent. When they looked at the corpses, they felt heartache, fear, and anger.

"Oh no, Gonggong is dead too!" In the next instant, Bodhi seemed to sense something and his heart trembled violently.

At the same time, Suirenshi, the Three Pure Ones, Tathagata, and others also noticed this. They exchanged glances, deeply shocked. They no longer had any doubts about Yunhua's words.

Previously, they had been speculating whether Yunhua had used some secret method to frame Yuan Laoren; but with Gonggong's death, they had no more doubts.

Gonggong has been feigning death for countless years, and only a few people in the entire high-level hierarchy know that Gonggong is still alive. Yunhua has absolutely no idea about Gonggong. Moreover, most importantly, Gonggong is currently in Nuwa's Secret Realm and is not here at all. Even if Yunhua wanted to take action, it would be impossible for Gonggong to die silently as well.

"Old Man Yuan!!" Everyone felt a surge of hatred.

At the same time, everyone was wondering if the Old Man of Origin was behind this great calamity in the Three Realms.

Was the so-called destiny influenced by the old man?

"Dao Ancestor of Calamity Fire, may I ask if you know who Old Man Yuan really is?" Suddenly, the Lord of Ten Thousand Demons from the Wujian Gate asked.

“If I’m not mistaken, he must be an alien race from the Chaos!” Yunhua said.

“Impossible! Yuan Daoren was born from the chaos along with us. Although we didn’t expect him to be so ambitious, he could never be a member of the Chaos alien race!” someone from Nuwa’s camp said.

Many of them were born and grew up alongside the Primordial Being, and some even had a very good relationship with him. They certainly didn't believe the Primordial Being was a member of the Chaos Alien race.

“His body is that of a Chaos alien, but what about his primordial spirit? How do you know if the true body of the Source Elder is already dead? How do you know if he has been possessed by a Chaos alien?” Yun Hua chuckled. “The Source Elder’s last attack on me just now was an attempt to possess me. So I have reason to suspect that the real Source Elder is already dead, and what appears before us is just a Chaos alien wearing the skin of the Source Elder.”

"This..." Many people hesitated immediately, but Yunhua's words made sense.

The main reason is that the fact that the Old Man of Origin controlled so many powerful beings before was too terrifying; at this time, the revelation that he had already been possessed by someone and was a member of the Chaos Alien race is not so hard to accept.

"Gentlemen, there is one more thing I need to discuss with you." Yunhua suddenly spoke up, looking at the displeased people.

"What is it?" Everyone looked at Yunhua again.

"Having comprehended the Dao of Heaven, I now have some guesses about the cause of this great calamity," Yunhua said.

"Guess? Do you know the deeper reason for the great calamity?" Many powerful figures became excited.

The great calamity of the Three Realms has always been like a mountain weighing on their hearts, causing countless friends to turn against each other and countless disciples to perish in battle.

This group of powerful individuals exhausted all their resources to find out the cause of the great calamity, to know why fate had revealed such a thing, and why the Wujian Sect and the Nuwa camp had to fight each other.

“Since the creation of the Three Realms, there have been ten Heavenly Daos: Yin and Yang, the Five Elements, and the Chaos Heavenly Dao. But are these ten Heavenly Daos truly unchanging?” Yunhua asked, looking at everyone.

“I recently comprehended the four great Daos of Yin and Yang, birth and death, so I can sense that the power of the Daos in the Three Realms is changing little by little. If I don’t take action, and you continue like this, the Dao of Life will weaken, while the Dao of Destruction will gradually strengthen.” As he spoke, Yunhua looked at everyone.

Apart from the Demon Lord who has merged with the Heavenly Dao, only cultivators like Yun Hua, who have comprehended the four paths of Yin and Yang and whose divine soul has almost reached the level of a Chaos Immortal, can sense the changes in the Heavenly Dao throughout the Three Realms.

For others, the first hurdle is that their soul strength is insufficient; those at the Ancestral Immortal Realm must possess a soul strength that is at a higher level to have a chance.

"Why would changes in the laws of nature cause such a great calamity?" asked Suirenshi.

Yunhua said, "The change I'm talking about is a man-made change, while the Heavenly Dao itself naturally has its own balance. If the Heavenly Dao of Life becomes strong, then it will try to weaken it; if the Heavenly Dao of Yang becomes strong, it will try to strengthen the Heavenly Dao of Yin, so that they can reach balance again."

"The Three Realms are a chaotic world centered on the ten paths of Yin and Yang, birth and death, the Five Elements, and the Chaos Heavenly Dao. Naturally, these ten paths will instinctively reach a balance. The so-called Great Calamity is because the world is out of balance, which is why the Great Calamity occurs and destroys everything."

"Think about it, everyone. Since ancient times, the Three Realms have been at peace for a long time, and all living beings in the realms have flourished and continued to thrive. Especially for cultivators who have already become immortals, because of the cycle of reincarnation in the underworld, even if they perish, they will rise again in a very short time. Over the years, it has become too difficult for cultivators who have become immortals to die."

"In this way, the Heavenly Dao of Life in the Three Realms has long reached an extreme, which naturally triggered the balance mechanism of the Three Realms themselves, thus causing a great calamity that weakened the number of living beings in the Three Realms. This is what I understand as the origin of the Great Calamity of the Three Realms."

Some of these things are from the original work, and some are Yunhua's own understanding. After he truly comprehended the four principles of Yin and Yang, birth and death, he had a completely new understanding of the operation of the Heavenly Dao in the Three Realms, and this understanding just happened to match the original work.

"So, this is the reason for the great war between our Nuwa camp and the Wujian Sect?" The Lord of Ten Thousand Demons frowned.

He knew more about the details of this great battle because he had actually seen the incarnation of the Lord of Inner Demons and had spoken with him, so he basically accepted Yunhua's statement.

However, beneath this acceptance lay some doubt, because Yunhua hadn't voiced his true question: why did fate so clearly dictate that the Boundless Sect and Nuwa's camp must clash?

If Heaven wanted to reduce the number of all living beings in the Three Realms, it would have other methods; there was no need to provoke a war between the two.

"not only that!"

Yunhua glanced at the Lord of Ten Thousand Demons and continued, "The great battle between the Boundless Sect and Nuwa's camp certainly weakened the Heavenly Dao of Life and strengthened the Heavenly Dao of Destruction in the Three Realms; but in reality, there was another realm that was strengthened, and that realm was also the biggest winner. That realm is—"

"The Heavenly Path of Inner Demons!!"

As soon as the words "Heart Demon Heavenly Dao" were uttered, all the powerful figures immediately became solemn.

Chapter 1047 Realm Battlefield

In that instant, they understood.

Originally, the Heavenly Dao of Inner Demons did not exist in the Three Realms. However, after the Lord of Inner Demons merged with the Dao, the Heavenly Dao of Inner Demons came into being. However, the power of this Heavenly Dao of Inner Demons was entirely concentrated in the Lord of Inner Demons, so the outward manifestation was that the Three Realms were still dominated by the Ten Heavenly Daos, and the Heavenly Dao of Inner Demons did not manifest itself.

The great battle between Nuwa's camp and the Wujian Sect will surely cause drastic changes in people's hearts, which will also be a huge source of nourishment for the Heart Demon Heavenly Dao to strengthen its power.

Because the inner demons and the Heavenly Dao are concealed, no one has noticed this.

"So that's it! It was the inner demons causing all this trouble!" Everyone from the Wujian Sect and Nuwa's camp finally understood.

The Heavenly Dao of the Three Realms itself needs to reduce the number of living beings, while the Lord of the Heart Demon who has merged with the Dao also needs to strengthen the Heavenly Dao of the Heart Demon. The two sides hit it off immediately.

Therefore, the Lord of Inner Demons guided destiny, ultimately forging an irreconcilable fate between Nuwa's camp and the Wujian Sect.

"The most likely reason for the changes in the fate of the Three Realms is that the Lord of Inner Demons is guiding them. I suspect that once the Great Dao of Inner Demons strengthens to a certain extent, the Lord of Inner Demons is very likely to break free from the Heavenly Dao," Yunhua said.

"What?!" There was no reaction from the Wujian Sect, but everyone on Nuwa's side was shocked, and their expressions instantly became much more serious.

If the Lord of Inner Demons truly breaks free from the Heavenly Dao, they will be the first to suffer. Remember, if Nuwa hadn't broken through her limitations, they might have been defeated by the Boundless Sect.

"In fact, if Heaven wants to reduce the number of living beings, then there is one ultimate killing move—the end of Dharma!!" Yunhua said in the end.

"If the Heavenly Dao of the Three Realms strictly controls the amount of primordial energy in the world, causing the entire world to fall into the Dharma-ending Age, then in the future, any cultivator who has not comprehended the Chaos Heavenly Dao and cannot draw power from chaos will gradually weaken until their eventual death!"

"Perhaps, when the number of deaths of living beings in the Three Realms reaches a certain standard, the Heavenly Dao will regain control of the primordial energy of heaven and earth, allowing the world to slowly recover."

"The Dharma-ending Age..."

Yunhua's words sent a chill down the spines of all the powerful beings who had not yet comprehended the Heavenly Dao. If the Three Realms truly adopted such a method, they would be the first to suffer.

Compared to the "end of Dharma" attacks that are widespread and indiscriminate, these cultivators preferred to engage in a battle between the two factions, where the survival rate was higher.

Especially the group from the Wujian Sect, after learning that the Lord of the Heart Demon was the mastermind behind this great war, they hoped for a great war rather than the end of the Dharma.

"Dao Ancestor of Calamity Fire, since you want to stop the great war between our Nuwa camp and the Wujian Sect, you must have some ideas to restore the balance of the Heavenly Dao!" Suirenshi spoke again, looking at Yunhua.

"As I said before, it's better to guide than to block. Rather than continuing to be peaceful like this, it would be better to open up a new realm as a battlefield."

Yunhua began, “The Blood Battlefield I mentioned earlier is used to resolve personal grudges, while the Realm Battlefield is used to balance the population.”

"From now on, we can conduct major battles on a boundary-by-boundary basis; this will be called the Boundary Battlefield." Yunhua then gave a general overview of his plan.

It's basically a copy of the dimensional battlefield from the Panlong world. The only difference is that some of the rewards have been converted into various cultivation manuals, rare and precious materials, and even elixirs and magical artifacts.

"In the interdimensional battlefield, half of the army should be provided by the rulers of each interdimensional realm, while the other half should be based on the principle of voluntariness. Not only the two participating worlds, but also powerful beings from other worlds who are willing to participate are welcome to join." Yun Hua looked at the powerful figures present, then grabbed a golden stone tablet.

This is the oath stone left by the God of the Northern World in that small world.

To restrain true gods and Dao ancestors, one naturally needs something like a life oath. However, not just anyone can make a life oath. Those below the level of World Gods and Chaos Immortals must rely on a Life Oath Stone to make a life oath.

"My plan has a huge flaw, and that is everyone here! If you all keep those top-level supernatural abilities and secret techniques in your hands, then the Realm Battlefield will have no appeal; and if you all pass on those top-level supernatural abilities and secret techniques, then the Realm Battlefield will still be useless."

"Therefore, I hope everyone will make a life oath to strictly limit the number of future disciples and the circulation of various supernatural powers and secret techniques. Ideally, apart from a limited number of direct disciples, other disciples who want to obtain supernatural powers should have to go through the interdimensional battlefield." Yun Hua's voice gradually turned cold.

With various lineages and schools of thought intertwined, who would want to send their disciples to such a dangerous place as the interdimensional battlefield?

Then there are those lineages and traditions; they possess various top-tier methods, and even the interdimensional battlefield cannot attract them.

If the people of this world do not make vows of destiny to limit the number of their disciples, the Realm Battlefield will become a place for independent cultivators and small sects to fight; at that time, the successors of true gods and Dao ancestors will remain high above, watching the chaos in the Realm Battlefield.

It should be understood that the biggest "population" problem in the Three Realms today is not the common people, nor the rogue cultivators who have inherited the lineage of earth immortals or heaven immortals, but the descendants of true gods and Dao ancestors.

These descendants of true gods and Dao ancestors are the root cause of the great calamity that is currently plaguing the entire chaotic world. Only by making these high-ranking officials and nobles less carefree and forcing them to participate in life-or-death battles can the calamity be alleviated.

"Fellow Daoist Jiehuo, what you..." The expressions of all the powerful figures changed drastically.

Yunhua's last suggestion hit the nail on the head. They had wholeheartedly agreed to the previous plan regarding the inter-domain battlefield. Their intention was for their own trained successors and disciples to benefit on the battlefield, while the rogue cultivators were used as cannon fodder.

This would both alleviate the great calamity of the Three Realms and ensure that one's own lineage and tradition would advance further.

But this last proposal caused all the powerful figures to change their expressions; because this proposal would definitely deal a huge blow to their lineage and heritage.

If one restricts the transmission of one's supernatural powers and techniques, then wouldn't the lineage of Dao be nothing more than an empty concept?

"Isn't your suggestion a bit too harsh?" Even Bodhi couldn't help but say.

"Hmph, harsh? I don't think so. The biggest problem in the Three Realms right now is that your lineage has been developing for too long, so long that newcomers can hardly surpass you. If this continues, you will always be the 'protagonists' of the Three Realms. If the 'protagonists' don't change, the great calamity of the Three Realms will never be averted," Yun Hua sneered.

"Or do you hope the whole world will enter a period of 'Dharma's End'?"

As he spoke, Yun Hua swept his gaze over all the powerful figures, his sharp eyes causing everyone to turn their heads away in unison.

"That concludes my words. Those who are unwilling to sign a life oath to bind their successors, then take your lineage and leave the Three Realms to develop beyond them!"

Yunhua paused here, then his killing intent erupted instantly, "Or do you want to fight me?"

"Boom!!"

As he spoke, Yunhua's terrifying aura, almost comparable to that of a Chaos Immortal, erupted instantly. A ray of light tore through the void, causing the entire world to tremble. The scorching aura was like an invisible sea of ​​magma, spreading across the sky and earth.

At this moment, Yunhua was the only one in the Three Realms. His terrifying aura overwhelmed everything, and his supreme divine power surged like a raging river, roaring and crashing, as if the sun were sinking and destroying the world.

Chapter 1048 Restraint

This supreme aura heavily suppressed the hearts of all the true gods and Dao ancestors, rendering them powerless to resist.

"It's exactly the same as the aura that Goddess Nuwa exuded after her breakthrough!"

"Invincible, this person is truly invincible!"

In that instant, all the true gods and Dao Ancestors submitted, yielding to Yunhua's aura.

Upon seeing this, Yunhua casually waved his hand, and a large amount of text flew into the void. This was the content of his life oath.

The content includes restrictions on the number of disciples, restrictions on the dissemination of the supernatural abilities learned by disciples, restrictions on the dissemination of supernatural abilities obtained from the Realm Battlefield in the future, and even requires each True God Dao Ancestor to provide at least three supernatural secret techniques for Realm Battlefield rewards...

It can be said that after this life oath is made, unless one is extremely lucky and is accepted as a direct disciple by a true god or ancestor who has used up one of their few disciple slots while one is young, the inheritance of the truly top-tier methods in the Three Realms will definitely take place in the inter-realm battlefield.

"I, the Lord of the Boundless Sect, am willing to swear an oath of life!" The Lord of Ten Thousand Demons was the first to speak. He flew to the golden oath stone, placed his palm on it, and immediately his soul began to speak involuntarily...

Following the example of the Lord of Ten Thousand Demons, the other members of the Wujian Sect also stepped forward, placing their palms on the Oath Stone and making their life oaths.

As all the members of the Wujian Sect swore their oaths, the Nuwa camp also began to falter and began to swear their oaths as well.

Soon, all the powerful beings present made an oath.

Yun Hua's eyes flickered, and he said, "I know there are still many powerful beings who haven't come yet, but I'll say it here today: any cultivator in the Three Realms who has cultivated to the True God Dao Ancestor realm must come here and swear an oath not to make me come looking for you personally."

As he spoke, Yunhua glanced at the Lord of Ten Thousand Demons, and then at Bodhi Daozu.

These words were meant for the two of them.

Because in the Three Realms, only these two people can hide some powerful beings.

The Lord of Ten Thousand Demons combines the Heavenly Dao of Wind with the Great Dao of Space, and indeed, his speed is unparalleled. During the ancient war, it was he who led the Wujian Sect to escape and hide.

Bodhi, on the other hand, combines the Great Dao of Time and the Great Dao of Space, making him incredibly mysterious. His Daoist temple must be hiding some powerful beings, such as Hou Yi, the number one archer in the Three Realms.

The Lord of Ten Thousand Demons and Bodhi Dao Ancestor cursed inwardly. They knew that Yunhua might have some knowledge of something, and that most of the people they had hidden were probably useless.

"Rest assured, fellow Daoist, since I have made a vow, I will not go back on my word!" Bodhi Dao Ancestor said unhappily.

The Lord of All Demons nodded and stated, "Since everyone has signed the oath, those who are not present are naturally no exception."

He himself was forced to make an oath; how could anyone else possibly stay out of it?

Since everyone is subject to constraints, then naturally everyone should be subject to constraints.

Even for their own sake, they couldn't allow others to roam freely outside.

"In that case, I can rest assured!" Yunhua nodded. "The格局 (geju, a concept encompassing the overall structure and overall situation) of the Three Realms will undergo a complete transformation in the future. Although the battlefield of the realms is dangerous, it is also full of endless opportunities. Anyone who makes meritorious contributions on the battlefield can exchange those merits for various supernatural abilities and secret techniques."

“Since the Realm Battlefield was my suggestion, then I will first offer ten divine techniques as rewards for the Realm Battlefield!” As Yun Hua spoke, he took out ten secret techniques in succession.

This includes his self-created methods for subduing the Golden Flame of the Sun and cultivating the Golden Rainbow of the Sun; his self-created sword technique comparable to the Five Treasures Sword Technique; some supernatural abilities he has deduced over the years using the supernatural power "Nine Yuan Annihilation"; and some supernatural sword techniques left behind by the Northern Xiu World God.

The ten supernatural powers and secret techniques he presented were all-encompassing, including offensive, defensive, and restorative ones.

Yunhua placed these secret techniques into the Oath Stone to protect them. In the future, anyone who wants to obtain these secret techniques will have to pass through the Oath Stone.

"These supernatural powers and secret techniques!!" The other powerful figures were slightly shocked when they saw the secret techniques that Yun Hua took out. This level of supernatural powers and secret techniques was truly a huge investment!

However, the group then cursed inwardly. Wasn't this forcing them to use their strongest supernatural abilities? Otherwise, with such a huge gap in skill, wouldn't their supernatural abilities and secret techniques be condemned in the future?
