Chapter 22
: Shaoyang vs. Taiyang, Dijun Admits Defeat
The sun is the head, and the moon is the deputy.
It seems to remain motionless for a long time.
However, among the Three Enclosures and Twenty-Eight Mansions, the area where the Purple Palace Enclosure is located has a slightly dim starlight.
Looking out, the entire sky has transformed into a vast and boundless star field, with ancient stars revolving and the celestial spheres resonating with each other.
It felt as if I shared the same breath and destiny as Di Jun.
As the Lord of the Sun Star, Di Jun has a certain degree of dominance over the entire starry sky. At this moment, under the impetus of his Sun Dao, the entire starry sky is pressing towards Donghua.
The sun and moon shine together, yin and yang flow in harmony.
The sun rises and sets, the moon waxes and wanes, and the constellations are arrayed. Between the alternation of yin and yang, the world is shrouded in a hazy light.
But within each ray of starlight lies a hidden danger, containing the Dao and Dharma of Emperor Jun.
Although Di Jun was at the late stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, his attacks had almost surpassed the scope of those at the same realm, touching upon a higher level.
It is no exaggeration to say that with just this one move, Di Jun's strength surpassed that of nearly 99% of the innate saints in the prehistoric world.
This caused the expressions of the Sanqing and others who remained in the arena to gradually become serious.
This forces them to consider how they would respond if they were the ones to take the field and face such a blow.
"Brother..."
The Queen Mother of the West frowned slightly, a hint of worry in her eyes.
Although she firmly believed that Donghua was no match for Dijun, she still found it difficult to remain calm when faced with such a critical moment.
"To think they could utilize the Hetu and Luoshu to this extent..."
Faced with Di Jun's terrifying offensive, Dong Hua naturally wouldn't be careless. With a flash of light, he took out his companion magic weapon, the Qingyang Sword.
Similarly, it uses the power of the Great Luo to absorb the spiritual energy of the universe.
He condensed countless dimensions into one domain, and then poured it into the sword along with his own Shaoyang Dao, thus evolving the supreme sword path.
Lesser Yang is the beginning, Lesser Yin is the end.
At the same time, he also incorporated some of the insights he gained from discussing the Dao with the Queen Mother of the West at Yaochi into his swordsmanship.
The interaction of Yin and Yang gives rise to the Four Symbols and Five Elements.
However, these four elements are not the same as the four elements mentioned earlier. They refer to earth, water, wind, and fire, which are the material basis of the world.
The earth is solid, the waters are surging, the wind rises gently, and the fire blazes across the starry sky.
Between the rotation of the four elements, the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth are also derived, forming a near-perfect cycle.
Driven by magic, each sword light, as soon as it left the Qingyang Sword, seemed to grow infinitely large, like a pillar connecting heaven and earth.
At a glance, the sky and the earth were filled with enormous sword energy, turning from white to black, from blue to red, yin and yang rotating, and five-colored immortal light spreading, which was truly dazzling.
"This, this..."
From afar, Hongyun, who was watching the battle, couldn't help but sigh, "Dijun's offensive was already terrifying enough, but I didn't expect this Fellow Daoist Donghua to have integrated the Lesser Yang Dao into his sword; he seems to be even more formidable!"
Beside him, Zhen Yuanzi also sighed, "Brother Donghua started with the Lesser Yang Great Dao and evolved it into Earth, Water, Wind, Fire, the Four Symbols and the Five Elements, which is beyond my reach."
Not only Hongyun and Zhenyuanzi, but also the Three Pure Ones, Fuxi and Nuwa had similar thoughts at this moment.
In their view, the attack launched by Di Jun, who mobilized the power of the stars, was indeed formidable.
Ultimately, it was the power of the Hetu Luoshu magic weapon that mattered most, while his own Great Dao of the Sun was secondary. On the other hand, what about Donghua?
However, he primarily relies on his own Shaoyang Dao, supplemented by the magic weapon Qingyang Sword; the two are exactly opposite.
Perhaps if the two fought, the final result would be evenly matched, but Donghua's understanding of the Dao at this moment surpassed Dijun's by more than one level.
This is the way of victory.
Even the Three Pure Ones, who always held themselves in high esteem, couldn't help but put aside their underestimation at this moment.
Ask yourselves honestly, have the three of them surpassed Donghua in their understanding of the Great Dao?
"boom--"
Regardless of what everyone was thinking, the attacks launched by the two finally collided at this moment, instantly bursting out with dazzling light.
The heavens trembled, connecting the past and the present.
The barriers of time and space were shattered in an instant, and the mighty power of the Great Luo surged forth.
Even the slightest aftershock would be enough to instantly kill a Taiyi Golden Immortal.
If the two hadn't intentionally channeled their energy into the depths of the Sea of Time and Space while fighting, the entire valley would have been plowed up.
After this attack, the two stepped directly into the river of time and space.
Di Jun unleashed his full power, with the Hetu and Luoshu magic treasures positioned on either side of him. Daoist energy flowed around him, and a vast golden crow dharma image hung behind him, looking down upon the world.
The fire of the golden crow dyed the endless sky crimson.
The Sun Avenue stretched across the sky, its divine and sacred aura flowing forth, its magnificent power causing the heavens and earth to lose their color.
Donghua remained calm and unhurried, unleashing the Shaoyang Great Dao.
Although not as intense as the sun, it has the power to dispel darkness and bring light, flowing continuously and overcoming strength with gentleness.
The primordial energy of Shaoyang nourishes silently, attaching itself to the sword. With a wave of the hand, it manifests a thousand wondrous techniques and ten thousand supernatural powers, performing endless changes of birth and death within the sword light, causing the entire world to resonate in harmony.
In an instant, the two had already exchanged hundreds or even thousands of blows.
Although Di Jun's attacks were fierce, he was unable to break through the defenses set up by Dong Hua.
Furthermore, as time went by, the Lesser Yang Primordial Qi gradually spread throughout space and time, and the area that Emperor Jun's Great Sun Avenue could cover was gradually squeezed.
However, at this very moment, a new change occurred on Shaoyang Avenue in Donghua.
Instead of interpreting the Four Symbols and Five Elements, it explores the transformations of Yin and Yang to the fullest extent, using Lesser Yang to evoke Lesser Yin, with sword light rotating like a Tai Chi wheel, descending from the heavens.
The Sun Avenue and the Golden Crow Divine Fire were all destroyed.
"What?!"
Di Jun's expression changed; he never expected Donghua's offensive to become so terrifying in an instant.
With a loud shout, a golden light burst forth from his body, hovering above his head—it was a crimson-gold treasure wheel.
It was the supreme innate spiritual treasure—the Sun Golden Wheel.
Under Di Jun's urging, the Sun Golden Wheel instantly formed a protective shield of spiritual light, blocking all the Yin-Yang sword lights from entering.
But at this moment, Donghua did not launch another attack. Instead, he looked towards Dijun from afar and calmly asked, "Fellow Daoist Dijun, how is it? Do you wish to fight again?"
Upon hearing this, Di Jun's expression changed repeatedly.
Finally, he sighed deeply, absorbed the Hetu Luoshu and the Sun Golden Wheel into his body, and said, "Fellow Daoist is more skilled. You have won this round. I, Dijun, am willing to accept defeat."
Although the two fought for a short time, Donghua forced him to use his other magic weapon, the Sun Golden Wheel, with just the Qingyang Sword.
It can be said that they have already gained the upper hand.
Although Di Jun had many great supernatural abilities that he had not yet used, he did not want to reveal his trump cards at this time.
He has a trump card, but doesn't Donghua have any other means?
the most important is.
Through this seemingly simple exchange, Di Jun has already achieved his initial goal.
