Killing Dao Fruit
Chapter 582 - 537: Monopolizing the Yellow Path, the Heavenly River Dam Burst!

Chapter 582: Chapter 537: Monopolizing the Yellow Path, the Heavenly River Dam Burst!

"Who the heck are you?!"

At this point, not only was the face of the Wenqu Sun Killer looking terrible.

Even the Seven Fairies, looking at "Golden Cicada," had their gaze turn cold and fierce, as if they wanted to tear him apart and devour him whole.

Unfortunately, Old Master Wang never had the bad habit of letting his enemies die knowing why.

With a sneer, he revealed a mouthful of shining white teeth:

"Guess!"

This short exchange of words had just passed.

Crack! Crack...

Even though the Seven Fairies exerted all their strength, resisting as the Divine Position of the Weaving Fairy was stripped from them, they almost reached the point where their facial features twisted and deformed.

Yet, with each sound of ceramic shattering, their skin uncontrollably flaked off in pieces.

Revealing underneath, the constantly rolling indescribable form.

The first to be stripped was the recently merged Yellow Path Granny.

What appeared beneath the human skin was a sinuous ribbon-like creature, covered all over with various astral symbols, its ends twisted into a large "8" shape.

On her, one could find no head, eyes, skin... no features at all that befit a living being, as if she were a natural band of light.

With a dull yellow tone at its core, it dazzled onlookers with a myriad of colors.

A single glance seemed to reveal the movement of celestial bodies and the unpredictability of life... a truly bizarre sight.

Following closely was the Sixth Fairy, who had been staring intensely at Wang Yuan, they all let out a scream and transformed into six masses of rolling black fog mixed with blood and chunks of flesh.

Rudely assembled were eight slender insect limbs and eight blood-red eyes, with a huge mouth full of sharp teeth on their backs, emitting piercing screeches non-stop.

Their enormous bellies held densely packed hundreds, if not thousands, of eggs, ready to spawn countless offspring at any moment.

"I mean, if they used that disgusting appearance to deceive believers and ’incumbent sons-in-law,’ even fools wouldn’t be tricked, right?

Let alone something that dissolves bones and marrow in... the bedroom...

Ew—"

Although Wang Yuan had long known that these notorious weird immortals and deceit gods were all a bunch of weird things that had usurped the legitimate divine positions of Red County Shenzhou,

he was witnessing for the first time the sight of divine positions being forcibly stripped away.

And the Seventh Fairy revealing her true form further confirmed the connection between the West King Holy Mother and the Hundred-Eyed Spirit Official.

The implications were clearly deeper than initially believed.

The Corpse Dissection Immortals clear the Weird, break the Calamity and receive the favour of the Heavenly Dao.

The Heavenly Officials, who scheme to contaminate the indigenous heavenly paths and plot all kinds of schemes to occupy the mortal world, naturally receive rewards from the Killing Tree.

Initially, both "The First Knock on the Door Plan" and "Phenomenal Weird, Chinese Valentine’s Day" were orchestrated by the West King Holy Mother.

Although their partnership based on mutual benefit was indeed solid,

the existence of a path to strength through mutual devouring means that the Heavenly Officials could never cooperate seamlessly like the Nine Soldiers.

Take Huang Wu, his reserved Taoist Skill companion and the Taiyin Monarch, for example.

If she were to be devoured by the No-Life Buddha of the Sun, he would naturally be able to interfere with "Reproduction and Regeneration" through her powers, thereafter entering into a conflict with the West King Holy Mother.

The premise of the Heavenly Officials’ cooperation is that their own camp can grow stronger, but in the process of becoming stronger, they must never conflict with themselves.

Even the mere possibility of such a conflict might trigger a great war.

There are no permanent allies; apart from oneself, no one is worthy of trust.

Simultaneous cooperation and struggle is the norm.

The West King Holy Mother, who had led the first knock on the door plan and enjoyed its benefits immensely,

also released an essence of "Weird—Country Overthrower," the Nine-Tailed Fox, who wreaked havoc in the cracks of human history.

At many pivotal historical points, she subtly influenced and altered the course of human Dao development.

Now, by leading the "Daoism Transformation Disaster" everywhere, she might be able to significantly boost her Taoist Skill in a short period.

Were it not for the only Undying Primordial Spirit of the Yellow Heaven Divine System being Huang Qiu Lord, others might think she was the main deity of the Yellow Heaven Divine System.

One could only say that this Heavenly Official who had trained the "Weird—Country Overthrower" was truly adept at pulling strings.

"I always feel that the West King Holy Mother, who has been ubiquitous throughout the course of human Dao and who once reigned as the deity of the matriarchal society, surely has grand ambitions.

It is only after the Great Zhou that various dynasties began to directly worship heaven, and Heaven, Yellow Heaven, Qingtian then rose one after another.

Compared to the West King Holy Mother, whose lifespan is unknown, they are all juniors.

Moreover, the source of the world turning into what it is today is precisely because of... the activation of knowledge!"

Wang Yuan had a vague premonition.

Although the two were not path enemies on the same path, being at either end of ’life’ and ’death,’ they were bound to have a head-on clash sooner or later!

At this moment,

he watched as the Divine Position of the Weaving Fairy, transformed into a Seamless Heavenly Clothes, floated down towards him.

Wang Yuan couldn’t help but shiver violently; having one Divine Position of the Venus Goddess was enough, taking on the Weaving Fairy would be too much for him to handle.

He immediately threw Sister Ruan, the effortless victor, out from the "Three Realms of the Shore."

"Off you go!"

Being the game’s victor, all of the Hundred-Eyed Spirit Official’s powers, which were what the whole "Yellow Millet Village" comprised, were mobilized to assist Wang Yuan in receiving his spoils of war.

Despite her unwillingness, there was nothing she could do about it.

As the last missing piece of the tri-path puzzle, the Great Fate, was set into place, a brilliant burst of starlight suddenly exploded from her body.

And with it, the Seamless Heavenly Clothes and the howling Seven Fairies were instantly swallowed up.

As the bodies of the Six Fairies and the Yellow Path Granny melted away into oblivion,

the "knowledge" they had occupied was also liberated, piece by piece fitting into the Divine Power Talisman of the embodied Fate Yellow Path.

Then, the radiant light converged.

And in its place appeared a Divine Tao Dharma Image.

Her brows were like distant green hills, her starry eyes twinkling, yet she emanated a fierce aura. With three thousand strands of blue-black hair combed up into a regal bun, adorned with a seven-jeweled, golden step rattle.

The Seamless Heavenly Clothes turned into a feather robe and exquisite gown, draped over her statuesque frame.

Glistening toes reached out, touching the transformed copper sphere—the Huntian Instrument—poised ethereally, robes fluttering.

Surrounding her were the celestial equator, poles, twenty-four solar terms, twenty-eight lunar mansions, Yellow Path Ring, Meridian Ring, Six Harmonies Instrument, White Path Ring, Red Meridian Ring... and many other astronomical instruments to her sides.

Also accompanying her were myriad divine apparitions.

At this moment, the drunken air that once clung to the Great Fate was swept clean, and in a flash, she was akin to a Heavenly Consort descending to the mortal realm.

To gaze upon her was to behold the essence of the Yellow Path itself!

Under normal circumstances.

The Purple Seal Corpse Dissection Immortal’s single Immortality Dao Fruit would divide, and its Green Seal avatars, though stronger than the mortal world’s pinnacle Dharma Images, were bound to adhere to the rule of a five-hundred-year lifespan depletion.

Before their lifespans ran out, they would return to the original body, nourishing it with years of accumulation.

Thereafter, a new avatar would manifest to start the accumulation anew.

What they emulated was the native Heavenly Dao’s method of strengthening itself through the reincarnation of countless true spirits.

—A speck of a True Spirit, struggling through the mortal world as either a good or evil person, would end up in the Underworld upon death.

There, they would unload a lifetime of accumulation, bolstering the power of the Underworld, before reentering the cycle of reincarnation.

This perpetual cycle would make the Underworld, the stronghold of this very Heavenly Dao, increasingly powerful.

This was a unique method of cultivation specific to the Corpse Dissection stage.

However, the current Fate Yellow Path had become starkly different from before.

She had completely taken over the Heavenly Yellow Path, and her power surged in response.

Her aura exuded a sense of fulfillment and eternity.

Heavenly beings, masters of all creation; yellow, the color of centrality; paths, the routes by which the Heavenly Emperor enters and exits his ninefold domain.

Although the Yellow Path Destiny Orbital is but a minor offshoot among the "three fates and five stars,"

Even total domination would not support the existence of an Undying Primordial Spirit.

But it allowed the Fate Yellow Path to completely transcend the level of an ordinary Green Seal, at least reaching the caliber of the Underground Master, capable of resisting the flow of time!

It also became the perfect stepping stone for seizing the Tribute of the Hundred-Eyed Spirit Official and the Black Taisui.

With the Key of the Gate in hand, even if the "backdoor" were to open, those Heavenly Officials would have no chance of escape.

Probably feeling overly triumphant, the Great Fate placed her hands on her hips and let out a strange laugh resembling the clanging of barbells.

"Heh heh heh..."

Instantly, it shattered the aura of grandeur and elegance that had been surrounding her.

By her side, Wang Yuan had already acted swiftly, brutally clubbing the indefensible Wenqu Sun Killer to death with the ferocious Wolf Fang Club.

The Divine Power Talisman, immensely compatible with his own nature, also merged into the Morality that was gradually struggling to keep up with Wang Yuan’s pace.

Before Wang Yuan could check out his newly acquired abilities,

Ruan Hongxiao deftly snatched them away stowing them under her arm.

Without wasting a fraction of a second, she vanished into the "Colorful Cloud Shop" surrounded by stars.

Whoosh—!

All the gains were thoroughly devoured by the couple of grand thieves—was there ever a better time to flee?

As they traversed halfway using their Escape Light, Ruan Hongxiao could barely contain her excitement.

Her fiery red lips dropped onto the gleaming bald head tucked under her arm like raindrops.

"Second, you truly are my lucky star; big sister has not cherished you in vain! Mwah mwah mwah..."

"Let go! Let go!"

Wang Yuan finally wriggled free from the Great Fate’s embrace.

He then hastily caught the two Divine Tao Talismans she tossed over, both faintly shimmering with starlight.

"Good brother, would you mind helping your sister with one more small favor?"

Seeing Sister Ruan with hands clasped in entreaty, wearing a smile of complete satisfaction, he swiftly understood.

The position of the Weaving Fairy was meant to follow the most advanced productivity of the textile industry, and yet this alcoholic knew absolutely nothing about it.

Even with the divine position secured, she first needed to replenish her foundational knowledge to maintain stability.

Unable to bear her demeanor, he casually agreed:

"Alright, I’ll find a couple of capable leaders in the textile factory on Dushuo Mountain to inherit these two junior divine positions and serve as your anchors.

It won’t take long before I can formally enthrone you as the Weaving Fairy, and no one will be able to dispute it."

And Wang Yuan already had candidates in mind.

The couple who had once nearly perished in the Vegetable People Market, and later became factory managers at Dushuo Mountain—Xu Wenkang and Xiao Fu (Chapter 419).

The Great Fate gave him a resounding thumbs up.

"Great brother, I’ll throw a dinner party in your honor someday, and introduce you to the God of Wealth, eh!"

Suddenly.

"Huh? What’s that sound?"

Just as they were about to burst free from the realm of "Mystical Fetus Nurturing Heaven," a growing sound of rushing water reached their ears.

Wang Yuan’s expression changed abruptly.

He quickly fetched the "Half Victory" bead, only to find that at some point, its yellow glow had silently faded to a clear cyan!

"Is this... the Heavenly River collapsing?!"

No sooner had he spoken than a mighty torrent flooded the "Mystical Fetus Nurturing Heaven."

The myriad worlds of "Yellow Millet Village" around them began to crumble at breakneck speed, as if reforging earth, wind, water, and fire, reenacting primordial chaos.

A huge vortex emerged in the center, located at the deepest part of the Hundred-Eyed Spirit Official’s dream realm.

The collective dreamscape of the twelve ancient corpses had completely breached the Heavenly Gate, connecting it to the thirty-three heavens.

Meanwhile, from the deepest grays of chaos, came a piercing roar:

"My key! Where has my key gone?!"

Then, countless chillingly substantial gazes fell upon them.
