Treasure Hunt, Two-Step Dao Lord

Chapter 156 Treasure Hunt, Second-Step Dao Lord (Please Subscribe)

In a chaotic space, many Dao Lords of Life and Death arrived from all directions. Before them was a star surrounded by thousands of auspicious clouds. But if you looked closely, you would find that among those thousands of auspicious clouds were actually treasures!

However, this star exuded an extremely terrifying aura. Even Xia Mangqing and Yu Chen felt threatened. It seemed that if they dared to forcibly seize the treasure, they would suffer fatal danger in an instant.

This is why so many Dao Lords of Life and Death appeared here, yet none of them made a move to compete for it.

Those who reach such a level possess extraordinary spiritual awareness, especially when it comes to their own safety. They can passively sense certain things that can help them avoid misfortune and seek good fortune to a certain extent.

"Is this the treasure land that has appeared for the first time?"

Lingyun Daojun looked around with a solemn expression. There were quite a few Daojuns gathered here, at least top-tier fourth-step Daojuns, including some beings comparable to Yu Chen.

Moreover, there are some cultivators who have merged with the strongest Dao, though most are only at the second or third step Dao Lord level. However, they should not be underestimated, because once they break through, their strength will increase significantly.

Especially those cultivators who have reached the level of the Three-Step Dao Lord and are the strongest Dao cultivators, if they were to advance one more step, they would become the first-level Dao Lord of Life and Death, and here they could almost sweep away all enemies.

"Be careful, everyone. The glow surrounding that star is gradually moving away and may very well fly out. At that time, a battle will inevitably break out. Remember, if things become unbearable, survival is the most important thing."

"Imperial Lord Yu Chen said, holding a jade sword in his hand. His expression was equally solemn, and a faint sword intent permeated the nearby void."

The same was true for Mu Jue and Ling Yun Dao Jun, with the forces of darkness and light swirling around them.

Above Xia Mangqing's head, a chaotic blue lotus also bloomed, scattering chaotic radiance, its Daoist charm no less powerful.

Not only them, but all the cultivators in this void were on guard against each other at this moment, because they all had a premonition that a great battle was destined to take place, and that it would be impossible for them to live in peace.

Rumble—

After an unknown amount of time, auspicious clouds filled the sky, and countless rays of light shot into the heavens. Streaks of light stretched across the void, flying towards the end of the starry sky, as if trying to escape from this place.

"Make your move!"

In an instant, one Dao Lord after another made their move, their massive hands sweeping across the void, pressing down and grabbing at the fleeing rays of light.

boom!

The void trembled and roared as the laws of the Great Dao pierced through it. The divine power and magical power of many powerful beings clashed, and the Daoist rhymes and true meanings were annihilating each other. Chaos erupted here, and the already disordered space fell into turmoil, with spatial rifts and spatial storms sweeping in.

Boom!

As the world projections descended, there was more than one. Xia Mangqing saw a fourth-step Dao Lord, who was also a mental power cultivator. His mental world was much larger than Xia Mangqing's. The moment their world projections descended, they simultaneously used the Mental Power Extinction Technique!

The Mind Power Extinction Technique is the most brutal method used by mental power practitioners. It directly targets the source of the true spirit, using savage and violent mental power to smash through the opponent's sea of ​​consciousness and true spirit.

Of course, what makes mental power practitioners truly terrifying is their ability to use mental power illusions. A mental power practitioner on the verge of achieving enlightenment can easily cause the entire population of an entire territory to perpetually fall into ruin through their illusions.

Even those who are on the verge of attaining the Dao, if they are not practitioners of mental cultivation and their Dao heart is slightly lacking, will fall into illusions and be at the mercy of others in reality.

"Mental exhaustion?!"

In that instant, the techniques of the two mental power cultivators clashed, but some weaker Dao Lords of Life and Death were extremely unlucky. They were swept away by the mental power extinction technique, and many of them had their true spirits pierced directly, and they perished here in the blink of an eye.

"Qingxuan Daojun, impressive skills! You're only a second-step Daojun, yet your world of mind is almost comparable to mine. Amazing!"

A voice came from the source of the voice, where a Dao Lord dressed in blue armor stood, his gaze cold as he stared at Xia Mangqing.

"Thank you for your concession."

Xia Mangqing remained calm and recognized the Dao Lord. He was from a special life form named "Zhufeng" and was a mental power cultivator at the fourth-step Dao Lord level.

Mental power cultivators are already extremely rare, and those who can reach the fourth-step Dao Lord level are even rarer. Therefore, this Zhufeng Dao Lord is very famous in the Endless Territory and is a second-level Dao Lord.

Although he has not yet reached the edge of the Dao Integration stage, his mental world is still stronger than Xia Mangqing's, although the gap is not too large. Therefore, it is difficult for him to defeat Xia Mangqing using mental power techniques.

"Seeing an opportunity to hunt is just what I need; it'll be perfect for a good sparring match with you, fellow Daoist!"

Zhu Feng Daojun did not stop there. With a wave of his hand, while capturing those rays of light, he also attacked Xia Mangqing, alternating between mental illusion and mental annihilation techniques.

Xia Mangqing was equally unafraid, using their own methods against them. They both controlled the scope of the world projection, concentrating their power to its peak. Although the coverage area was not large, a single thought was enough to kill an ordinary fourth-step Dao Lord!

The two mental cultivation practitioners immediately clashed, and most of the Dao Lords of Life and Death in the distance chose to stay away.

Because the methods of mental power practitioners are too unpredictable, once someone gets involved, no one can guarantee that they won't fall victim to their schemes.

Moreover, this void is too chaotic now, with many Dao Lords of Life and Death fighting each other, their killings filling the sky, and even the space itself has been shattered countless times, as if they are about to completely destroy this place.

In this situation, no one dares to be distracted, as everyone has a formidable enemy. How could anyone be willing to be drawn into the battlefield of mental power practitioners, constantly on guard against those strange and unpredictable mental power techniques?

Xia Mangqing and Zhufeng Daojun fought fiercely, constantly maneuvering through the void, vying for the radiant light, and exchanging blows time and again.

At first, Xia Mangqing was at a disadvantage and could only defend, with little chance of counterattacking. However, as time went on, Xia Mangqing's mindset changed. He had doubts, but soon he suddenly realized the truth.

"The Second Level of the Ultimate Chaos Path!"

Xia Mangqing smiled. He had already grasped the true meaning of the ultimate Chaos Dao, and he had also comprehended and perfectly integrated the foundational Dao of the second level. He was only one thought away from transforming into the ultimate Dao.

"Even though they are all the same ultimate chaotic path, different beings may exist differently before they merge with the Dao and achieve eternity. Now that I have understood the true meaning, I only need to firmly continue on this path."

Xia Mangqing thought that he was only one breath away from the second level of the ultimate path, or rather, he was just one will away.

As he realized, even though it is the same ultimate chaotic path, it does not truly encompass all paths before achieving eternal unity with the Dao.

In the chaotic universe, the path of all living beings can be said to be the direction that the eternal ultimate origin can evolve into. Therefore, creating any path may lead to an enlightenment of the ultimate.

Just as Xia Mangqing used Yin and Yang, the Five Elements, the birth and death of time and space, and the cycle of reincarnation to derive the ultimate chaos, it is also possible that some practitioners could comprehend the ultimate chaos through the principles of cause and effect, destiny, and so on.

Before merging with the Dao, the ultimate Dao is more like a true meaning. Only after repeated transformations will it become the perfect and eternal ultimate Dao.

This is why, like a normal Dao Lord, each step of advancement for an Ultimate Dao Lord requires first elevating the basic Dao to a higher level and then perfectly integrating it before transforming into the Ultimate Dao.

Because there is more than one path to advance to the ultimate path, the same ultimate path may present different artistic conceptions and directions. But without a doubt, the path that is transformed from the basic path after comprehending the true meaning of the ultimate is the ultimate path.

"In general, the first step to the second step is still the simplest. It's not difficult to understand this; it's just a matter of finding the right opportunity."

""

Xia Mangqing thought to himself, then flew away rapidly.

"Um?"

Zhu Feng Daojun looked puzzled. Although he had the upper hand, he had to admit that he couldn't do anything to Xia Mangqing. If he were to fight to the death, it would probably result in mutual destruction.

He believed that Xia Mangqing could see it too, so Xia Mangqing's sudden departure puzzled him greatly.

"Junior brother, what's wrong with you?!" Yu Chen Daojun was also engaged in battle, but he still managed to ask the question.

"Senior brother, I have grasped some of the mysteries and am ready to break through."

Xia Mangqing responded succinctly.

"A breakthrough is imminent?!"

Yu Chen Daojun was overjoyed and immediately unleashed a peerless sword strike, sending his opponent flying. At the same time, he transmitted his voice to Mu Jue and Ling Yun Daojun, and then flew towards Xia Mangqing without hesitation.

"Junior brother, you shall remain in seclusion here; we will protect you!"

"good!"

Xia Mangqing did not hesitate and immediately entered the Time Chamber of his portable celestial realm, simultaneously using Chaos Spirit Liquid to maintain a thousandfold time acceleration.

He then took out a large amount of Chaos Spirit Liquid, and with the second level of the Ultimate Chaos Dao as the core, he began to frantically devour the Chaos Spirit Liquid, urging the Dao Tree to continue to grow.

Without regard to cost, the speed was extremely fast. In just about an hour, the Dao Tree within his body grew to 84,000 feet, which was the limit that a second-step Dao Lord could reach.

At the same time, he continued to devour the Chaos Spirit Liquid without stopping, further opening up the world of his heart.

The already enormous world of the heart, spanning over a trillion light-years, began to expand wildly once again, finally stopping only after it grew larger than an ordinary territory.

It should be noted that the mental cultivation practitioners on the verge of reaching the Dao generally have a mental world comparable to a territory, and Xia Mangqing reached this step when he was a second-step Dao Lord!

It is evident that the Ultimate Chaos Dao is extremely suitable for constructing a world of the heart. Even ordinary cultivators on the verge of achieving Dao do not have a world of the heart as stable as his. If a projection of this world were to descend, even an ordinary Eternal Emperor would probably have to be wary.

"Based solely on my mental energy flow, I can already be considered a second-level Dao Lord. And with the addition of the nine secret techniques of the Ultimate Chaos Dao Commander, I am probably the most outstanding among second-level Dao Lords."

Xia Mangqing thought to himself that there would be differences between Dao Lords of the same level, but Xia Mangqing was the Ultimate Chaos Dao, and although he was only at the second level, the strength he could unleash among the second-level Dao Lords was already the top level.

If he makes further progress in his understanding of the Dao, secret techniques and supernatural powers, he might even be able to rival the first-level Heaven-Defying Dao Lord when he reaches the second-step Dao Lord stage.

"Now, the roles have reversed!"

Xia Mangqing burst out of his personal cave.

With the acceleration a thousand times, only a dozen or twenty breaths had passed in the outside world. With the strength of the three, including Daoist Yu Chen, holding out was not a problem.

At that very moment, the nine secret techniques suddenly erupted, covering billions of miles of void. Under the command of the Chaos Dao, their power suddenly increased to a new level!

Boom—

The void trembled, instantly shattered and torn apart. Some Dao Lords of Life and Death who rushed over to seize the treasures in the hands of Dao Lord Yu Chen and the others were suddenly severely injured at this moment, bleeding and flying backward.

Almost simultaneously, a vast and boundless projection of the world suddenly pressed down, seemingly covering the entire interior of the Dao Palace, but the area where the power was concentrated was still this void.

"puff!"

Caught completely off guard, the world projection shattered in an instant, and he himself was also injured. His eyes were filled with disbelief: "He broke through?! Such a massive world projection... even a cultivator on the verge of Dao Integration wouldn't be much different!"

Zhu Feng Daojun's mind wavered. Was this really a three-step Daojun?

Just how perfect must his Dao be to be able to construct such a world of the heart at the third step of Dao Lord!

"If he attains the Tao, it will be eternal—"

Zhu Feng Daojun's heart trembled. The world of his heart was already so vast when he was a three-step Daojun. If he became a four-step Daojun, or even reached the eternal Dao, he felt that even the three great rulers would not be a match for Xia Mangqing.

Of course, the difficulty of achieving such a heaven-defying Dao and successfully attaining its unity is immeasurable.

"Walk!"

Without hesitation, Daoist Zhufeng crushed a talisman, which suddenly transformed into a golden light that pierced through the void, the world projection, and countless spaces, directly rushing out of the Dao Palace.

"They run pretty fast."

Xia Mangqing sensed it, but he couldn't stop it. It was a Sovereign-level talisman. Although he also had one, Zhufeng Daojun was too decisive. He immediately ran away when he realized he was no match for him.

As for Xia Mangqing, it was impossible for him to abandon Yu Chen Daojun and the others to pursue them, since they had just protected him.

"Hahaha! Junior brother, with your current strength, I think you're practically invincible within this Dao Palace!"

Yu Chen Daojun laughed loudly. The strength Xia Mangqing displayed made him extremely wary, and he admitted that he was no match for him.

With such amazing combat power, he can roam freely within this palace, and no one can do anything to him.

"Senior brother, let's talk later. Let's go capture those rays of light first!" Xia Mangqing said.

Now, many rays of light are shooting out in all directions, and some Dao Lords have already gone out to chase after them. If they continue to chat here, the rest will probably be taken away by other living beings.

"Haha, yes, the treasure is the most important!"

Yu Chen Daojun laughed loudly, then pointed in a certain direction: "Let's go over there and capture as many treasures as possible."

"good!"

"Walk!"

The four transformed into streaks of light, swiftly traversing the void, chasing after the radiant glow in that direction.
