Chapter 735: Suppressing the Divine Phoenix, the Enlightened Immortal Monarch

"It turns out Qing Liu Sheng is this generation’s wielder of the Original Dao Artifact. I thought the Original Dao Artifact was shattered with the Divine Monarch’s wish; I never expected it to reappear!"

"Indeed, the Original Dao Artifact hasn’t shown itself for ten thousand years; it seems to have chosen this era on purpose!"

"Speaking of which, this Dao artifact seems to lack a Dao Domain? Without a Dao Domain, the rules still seem to be effective. Could it be a result of further elevation after the wish?"

"It’s possible that these ten thousand years were spent adapting and changing, eventually giving birth to Qing Liu Sheng—after all, Dao artifacts are ultimately instruments of the mind!"

"No wonder the Divine Empress planned such a grand scheme, willing to risk her life! If everything is based on Qing Liu Sheng being a Dao Artifact wielder, then it all makes sense!"

Once the Tomorrow Dao Sword was drawn, all Dao Artifact wielders felt a connection in their hearts; they were both shocked and delighted.

They were shocked that a Dao Child of the Heavens like Qing Liu Sheng could awaken the Tomorrow Dao Artifact and delighted that he was now invincible, precisely the inheritor chosen by the Divine Empress!

It was no wonder they had repeatedly advised the Divine Empress to unseal Shi Kong, to which she always said no.

Practitioners of the Heavenly Stem Cave Heaven were indeed fit to inherit it; their control might not be weaker than the Divine Empress. Even after exhausting their powers, they could still suppress many great enemies, but how could they compare to Qing Liu Sheng?

With three Dao Classics surrounding him and possessing the Yin-Yang Cave Heaven, he could cover the sky with one hand. Even the ancient supreme demons turned into fireflies, not daring to shine brightly!

"Firefly? Blazing Sun?"

The Divine Phoenix was almost driven to laughter. As the son of the World God and a supreme Demigod, he couldn’t subdue everything upon his emergence, and now he had become a joke?

What a vexatious situation!

How favored the human race was by the heavens!

In a million years, how many terrifying figures would emerge, how much foundation would accumulate?!

The Divine Phoenix raised his phoenix head; his crimson Divine Eye could already see countless forms of order converging on the sword in Qing Liu Sheng’s hand. The world’s luck was funneling into Qing Liu Sheng’s innate fortune, and his luck was vast as the ocean, endless and boundless.

Luck is a possibility. Absolute strength can suppress possibilities, but as long as there is an opportunity to turn defeat into victory, luck can come to fruition.

"The human race is no longer a weak race; nine True Immortals, nine sets of True Immortal magic, born as nine Demigods, and if all this power were to be concentrated in one person…"

The Divine Phoenix suddenly realized that he had emerged too early; there were still supreme beings with a broader vision, not relying on techniques, but on wisdom.

To suppress humanity, he must dismantle the Dao Classics that humanity had mastered. If he did not seal the polluted Dao Classics, humanity would thrive forever. Whether it was the ruling Dao or the Tomorrow Dao, at the very least, the human race would continue to exist and not be exterminated by demons; there would still be hope for future births, just like Qing Liu Sheng before him.

"Slash!"

Yun Ye swung his sword again; the immense wishes from the Red Heaven realm and the multiverse converged, and the power of the Tomorrow Dao Sword elevated yet another level.

The sword light sliced through the Divine Phoenix!

The Divine Phoenix was already drained; battling Shui Wuge, he had burned his divine blood multiple times and struggled fiercely during the Great Annihilation and Big Explosion.

After millions of years of accumulation, it had all been spent, and with less than ten or twenty percent of his Dao cultivation, he had indeed become like a firefly, suppressed by a single sword stroke, unable to move.

"Ah! If I don’t wake up now, when will I? After this battle, Qing Liu Sheng will undoubtedly be invincible across the world!"

The Divine Phoenix roared, hoping to awaken many of the sleeping supreme beings.

Now that the Divine Empress had perished, the Heavenly Stem was no longer.

Only Qing Liu Sheng remained; he had a complete opportunity to suppress everything!

Would continued slumber prevent worry? With Qing Liu Sheng achieving Major Achievement, he would undoubtedly sweep the world, establishing a foundation for the human race for generations to come!

He was not just a wielder of the Ruling Dao artifact; he was a wielder of the Tomorrow Dao artifact, holding the Original Tomorrow Dao Artifact!

A roar indeed awakened some beings, as if they were planning to revive.

But in the next moment, a rainbow light pierced through, a terrifying aura intimidating Red Heaven.

"This is… the Enlightened Immortal Monarch? Their speed is astonishing! The sealing of the Heavenly Stem Cave Heaven has just been lifted, and they have already crossed over?"

"Under normal circumstances, once the seal is lifted, True Immortals would notice the anomaly and block Red Heaven realm. How can there still be practitioners reaching here?"

Zhānméng and several other Dao Artifact wielders frowned.

Reaching Red Heaven realm at this time undoubtedly meant vying for the position of Monarch!

Only in Red Heaven realm can one become a Monarch, a saint, a True Immortal, or even a God. With the Divine Empress’s demise and the suppression of the Heavenly Stem Cave Heaven collapsing, the path of the Royal Path has reopened!

To dominate the three heavens and open the Fourth Heaven that covers the world ensures immediate ascension to a Monarch!

In ancient times, this was an extremely difficult process; too many behind-the-scenes forces could intervene, like supreme demons, old relics of the Royal Path power, unbeatable beings of the celestial clans, and the challenge of opening the Fourth Heaven was already a significant hurdle—one misstep could lead to death.

But in the modern era, outside interference had nearly vanished; becoming a Monarch now solely depended on personal ability and whether one could survive the Three Pure Lightning tribulation. The difficulty had significantly decreased!

The Enlightened Immortal Monarch arrived first, gaining an unimaginable advantage.

"The Dao Classics of Colorful Glow? It seems that not just the Divine Phoenix escaped; several other Dao classics have also fled."

Yun Ye observed the twelve rays of colorful light and understood something.

"Everything that will happen in the future should be visible to you; why be surprised?"

The newcomer was a gentle woman with blue hair; she unleashed the twelve rays of colorful light, completely suppressing the Divine Phoenix, even tearing it apart, and then…

The heavens opened!

The body of the Divine Phoenix floated in the chaos, indelible, but was suppressed by the newly opened colorful Cave Heaven, its power decomposed into nutrients.

Most of the Divine Phoenix’s body was suppressed by the Heavenly Stem Cave Heaven, and the Yin-Yang Cave Heaven rapidly consumed the Divine Phoenix, allowing the Cave Power to grow swiftly.

Though split into two parts, the Divine Phoenix was still not dead; the Demigod body was incredibly hard to kill, and he roared, his resentment unyielding.

However, if even his main body could be suppressed, what did resentment mean to two supreme beings?

His voice gradually faded, completely covered in the Cave Heaven.

"The Divine Empress has perished, and the Royal Path reopens. Many deities will descend, and without the power to suppress everything, it will be hard to maintain the order of the Celestial Empire."

"Qing Liu Sheng, you should be the new ruler, intimidating the world. This is also the Divine Empress’s last wish and final entrustment."

The Enlightened Immortal Monarch extended her hand, and a Tomorrow Dao Weapon appeared.

She proved her identity.

"Another Dao Artifact wielder!"

Rou Zhao, for some reason, started to tear up again; she was indeed too happy, not expecting there to be so many practitioners supporting the Celestial Empire!

With the Four Departments of Dao Classics gathered, what difficulty could there be to dominate the world with the Tomorrow Dao?

No… to be precise, it was five departments!

With the collapse of the Heavenly Stem Cave Heaven, the Red Heaven True Immortal Law was also liberated once more. Yun Ye regained mastery over the Red Heaven True Immortal Law; although it was not a cultivation method nor a Dao classic, the help the Red Heaven power provided to Yun Ye was irreplaceable.

"Your Majesty, Red Heaven has been blocked; now is the time to ascend the throne and acquire the real power to suppress the world. What is a True Immortal then?"

Qing Kong naturally changed how she addressed him.

Although the Divine Empress never explicitly acknowledged Qing Liu Sheng as the next ruler of the Celestial Empire, Qing Kong saw no need for such acknowledgment.

Only unbeatable strength could solve the issues of the Celestial Empire; Qing Liu Sheng wielded the Heavenly Crown Artifact and three Dao classics. If he did not become the ruler, who would?

Moreover, another Dao classic holder explicitly stated their intention to assist Qing Liu Sheng; the timing, geographical advantage, and public support all favored Qing Liu Sheng!
