Stop it, Taoist, Your Fight almost Ruins the DAO!
Chapter 1056 - 562: Ancient Star Realm, Taoist Emperor, Bo Xun and Master of Ghosts, Catastrophic Number, Beautiful New World!_2

Her face was shrouded in thick shadows, twisting and changing, making it indecipherable.

"Taoist Emperor, it was your Disciple who first broke the rules, unleashing a massacre on our and Evil Emperor's territory. You protected your Disciple back then, and we, as well as the Evil Emperor, gave ground."

"What now, are you also planning to break the rules and save your little Disciple?"

An ethereal and chilling voice suddenly attacked from all directions, converging around the Taoist Emperor and making it impossible to discern its origin.

A solemn light shone from the eyes of the Evil Emperor, who cautiously looked at Wan Qinglian, the Taoist Emperor whose presence seemed too mighty even for the void to bear.

"Indeed, it was your Disciple who initiated the challenge back then, engaged in a deadly battle with the Blood Sinner and the Heavenly Ghost. According to the oath we took that year, even if we had directly slain Wan Xingzi, there would be no fault to pick. Wan Qinglian, what are your intentions today?" The Child incarnated by Demon Buddha Poxun also couldn't help but speak out indifferently, his gaze as cautious as that of the Evil Emperor.

The name of a person, the shadow of a tree; Wan Qinglian, recognized among the seven as an exceedingly powerful figure, had not made a move in a long time, leaving no one to know to what Realm his strength had advanced. If not for this, the two would not have joined forces to come here after sensing the movements of the Taoist Emperor.

"You are not like Asna!"

"If it were him, he would dare to come alone to meet me, not travel together as you do."

"Is it that you fear me in your hearts? Just like how you once feared Wan Xingzi becoming a second me."

The Taoist Emperor turned around, his eyes cold and merciless like the Heavenly Dao, landing on the two figures but not replying to their questions. Instead, he surveyed the void with noncommittal mutterings.

"Blood Sinner and Heavenly Ghost, two Ninth Layer Realm powerhouses teamed up against my single Eighth Layer Realm apprentice, yet they ended up shattered to pieces and their Dao Fruits sealed by him. And you have the nerve to say to me that you made any concessions?"

"I see now, you have truly lost all your shame!"

Looking at Poxun and the Evil Emperor, the expression of the Taoist Emperor grew increasingly cold.

"Wan Qinglian, the rights and wrongs of the past, as of now, hold little meaning for our existences. We once thought the Dao Fruit Ninth Layer Realm was the apex, only to realize later that unless we coalesced a Taboo Dao Fruit, those who formed ordinary Dao Fruits would strive in vain their whole lives, never hoping to reach the Other Shore."

"A single Wan Xingzi, even if he has reached the Dao Fruit Ninth Layer as of now, is no longer of any concern to us. He has run out of time. Sometimes being one step late means falling behind at every step."

"Moreover, the incident back then—whether it was a problem within your Qinglian Venerate Dao Realm, Buddha Emperor, and Demon Emperor, or truly a misunderstanding, the truth behind it remains uncertain."

"Forget it, the truth no longer matters now. Back then I and the Evil Emperor both suffered heavy losses. Now, just as the situation between Blood Sinner, Heavenly Ghost, and your Disciple is about to clear, your appearance here, Wan Qinglian, indeed makes us uneasy!"

Facing Wan Qinglian's intimidating cold light, Poxun nevertheless chuckled casually, showing no anger in his response.

Blood Sinner, his second apprentice, had a Blood Demon Dao Fruit, although not a Taboo Dao Fruit, which still established him within the Ninth Layer Realm. With his will soon reawakening after being scattered, Poxun naturally did not wish to be overly confrontational with Wan Qinglian, once the strongest under heaven, at this point.

It wasn't that he and the Evil Emperor feared Wan Qinglian, but there was no need to give Wan Qinglian, who was protective of his shortcomings, an opportunity to make a scene—especially given that there were seven of them at the same level.

"This Daoist won't bother talking about those messed-up matters. Today, I have come because I do not trust you."

"I have recently had a revelation and may not be able to afford distractions. If you were to interfere underhandedly in the competition between Wan Xingzi and Blood Sinner, Heavenly Ghost, wouldn't my disciple suffer greatly?"

"I naturally won't break the agreement made back then, but that doesn't stop me from imposing a Qinglian Taoist Prohibition in this Ancient Star Realm."

"Of course, if you wish to challenge me to a bloody duel, I would not mind. Like my Disciple, I could take on both of you. Perhaps with your help, I could fully leap forward and unravel the secret of the Other Shore."

"You... Wan Qinglian, you madman!" In an instant, both Poxun and the Evil Emperor's eyes flashed with shock.

Wan Qinglian, Wan Qinglian, a lotus of eternal azure, the Taoist Emperor revealed a cold smile on his face, and he no longer looked at Poxun and the Evil Emperor. Turning away, he left them with a broad back to view.

This was the strength and dominance of Wan Qinglian, the strongest under heaven!

With hands forming mystical seals.

Suddenly, without any wind, the Daoist Robe of Wan Qinglian began to move on its own, adorned with the sun, moon, and stars, as if the Cosmic Sea was contained within him. His figure then surged violently in size, and behind his head appeared an incredibly terrifying Qinglian in the void, as if it was covering the sky and blocking the sun.

In an instant, the Dharma Aspect of Wan Qinglian expanded infinitely!

So vast that, compared to his Dharma Aspect, the gargantuan Ancient Star Realm looked no different than an ugly apple.

"Qinglian Sealing!"

Without any superfluous or flashy gestures, the Dharma Aspect of Taoist Emperor Wan Qinglian just simply closed together, as if lifting a pot of flowers in mid-air. Instantly, a pale cyan barrier enveloped the Ancient Star Realm and then the barrier faded, disappearing from sight.

What shocked Bo Xun and the Evil Emperor even more was that the Taoist Emperor, after making such a grand move, had withdrawn all his power fluctuations around him, not affecting a single living being in the Ancient Star Realm, as if nothing had happened.

If they had not witnessed it with their own eyes, Bo Xun and the Evil Emperor would almost doubt their sight. They had to admit that despite their own cultivation, they could create such a grand spectacle, but they could never achieve such nonchalance, ensuring the Ancient Star Realm remained undisturbed.

This act proved that after a long period of reclusion, Taoist Emperor Wan Qinglian's cultivation still surpassed theirs.

"Qinglian Sealing, to witness this move once again."

"Qinglian Sealing is difficult to enter and even more difficult to exit. Taoist Emperor, you truly hold deep affection for your Disciple. It seems that when the final battle of the blood duel chess game comes, neither the Heavenly Ghost nor the Blood Sinner would dare to harm your Disciple under the sky covered by this Qinglian Sealing!"

"Well, a mere Wan Xingzi won't affect the overall situation, so let us give you, Wan Qinglian, this face!"

The Evil Emperor, with a graceful posture and a flicker of ghostly light in her eyes, suddenly spoke out loud.

Looking at the barrier enclosing the vast Ancient Star Realm, she had already guessed a fraction of the Taoist Emperor's intention for his visit today—to ensure his Disciple's life is protected, no matter the outcome of the blood duel, which was his bottom line.

That line must not be crossed or questioned; otherwise, it would turn from a red line into a red carpet.

Having understood the will of the Taoist Emperor, the Evil Emperor bowed with respect towards the unremarkable Taoist standing in the void, her figure gradually vanishing into nothingness.

Seeing this, Bo Xun also clasped his hands together to Wan Qinglian in a salute, then withdraws as well.

The respect shown by the Evil Emperor and Bo Xun was not just for the deep love of Wan Qinglian for his Disciple, but also for the unmatched strength of Wan Qinglian, recognized as the foremost in the world!

"Alas, Disciple, when I agreed to your duel, I hoped that you would use the Blood Sinner and the Heavenly Ghost as whetstones to advance further, fully comprehending the All Stars Dao Fruit, and follow your Master on the path to seek the Other Shore, understanding the second and third Dao Fruits!"

"With your talents, if you could stand atop the All Stars Dao Fruit and comprehend the Yu Tao Fruit and Cosmic Dao Fruit, these two great Taboo Dao Fruits, perhaps you could bloom the most beautiful Other Shore Flower!"

"Now, I faintly feel that this is the truly majestic grand path that leads directly to the Other Shore!"

"Regrettably, Divine Skills are no match for fate; with the changes in heaven and earth, countless World Fruits wither, stars dim, otherwise, you would have already slain those two and taken command of the Ancient Star Realm, not entangled in such a plight with those two Demon Heads."

With a deep sigh, Taoist Emperor Wan Qinglian also disappeared into the void.

After an unknown period of time, suddenly, ripples emerged in the void.

Like a dream-like mirage, a bizarre wave encapsulated in a transparent bubble intermittently appeared and disappeared into the void.

Under the effect of the Ancient Star Realm's strange gravitational force, as if being summoned, it was 'captured' by the Alien Force. What encased the bizarre wave seemed to be something unknown, and it did not trigger a response from the pale cyan barrier.

"Quack! Finally, one has survived!"

"This world is truly strong and powerful, strong and powerful indeed!"
