Chapter 831: The Gate to the Divine Realm (Dongxu Realm: Breaking the Void)
Chaos spread like ink across the shattered sky of the cultivation world. Yun Yao gazed up at the gradually engulfing sky, her hair tangled in the turbulent wind. She clutched the now-dimmed Jinghong Sword tightly in her palm, its blade reflecting the mocking smile of the Jinque Envoy. The twelve pairs of black wings behind him radiated a terrifying pressure, draining all spiritual energy from a ten-mile radius.
"Death struggle." The Jinque Envoy raised his hand and waved lightly. A faint light imbued with divine laws tore through the void and stabbed directly at Yun Yao's face. This seemingly random blow carried a force that could crush even a Cave Void Realm expert into dust.
At the critical moment, Chu Mochen's Cold Abyss Sword loomed before Yun Yao. The moment the two divine weapons collided, space cracked like a shattered mirror. Chu Mochen groaned, his knuckles cracked, and blood dripped down the blade. He stumbled back a few steps, but remained steady in front of Yun Yao, whispering, "Yun Yao, take the villagers away first. The teleportation array at the Guixu Sea Eye should still be usable."
Yun Yao looked at Chu Mochen's back, his clothes ripped by the divine power, and the tiny specks of blood oozing out. Her heart trembled. She remembered the old village chief of Guixu Fishing Village, hunched over as he cooked fish soup for them. She remembered the kindhearted villagers whose memories had been wiped by the Tianji Pavilion. If they were to abandon them now...
"No!" Yun Yao suddenly plunged the Jinghong Sword into the ground, forming seals with her palms. Chaos surged around her. She could clearly feel the Mahayana power boiling within her. "Let's go together!" Before she finished her words, she charged directly towards the Jinque envoy.
The Golden Palace Envoy clearly hadn't expected Yun Yao to attack. A flicker of surprise flashed in his eyes, but it quickly faded into disdain. "A mere early Mahayana cultivator dares to challenge the rules of the Divine Realm?" He raised his hand and condensed a massive golden seal, suppressing Yun Yao. The seal was inscribed with ancient Divine Realm runes, each imbued with the might of the Heavenly Dao.
Just as the seal was about to fall, a dazzling, rainbow-colored light suddenly erupted from Yun Yao's body—the power of the "Tears of Vitality" fused with her Chaos Body. She opened her Chaos Domain and devoured the seal. At the same time, a violent tremor erupted from the direction of Guixu Fishing Village. The survivors, escorted by several elemental lords, rushed towards them.
"Hurry!" The old village chief brandished his harpoon. Though it seemed comical amidst the battle between the divine realm's powerful, the determination in his eyes was moving. The villagers tossed their spirit stones, magical instruments, and even their rations toward Yun Yao and the others. These meager forces, drawn by the Chaos Dao Body, unexpectedly coalesced into a strange torrent of energy.
Upon seeing this, the Jinque envoy's expression suddenly changed. "Not good! They're forcing the Divine Realm Gate open!" He immediately turned, ready to activate the Divine Realm Gate's defenses. However, how could Yun Yao give him a chance? She suddenly channeled all her strength into her double seals and slammed her palm towards the Divine Realm Gate.
"Boom——"
The gate to the divine realm trembled violently, cracking the once tightly closed door. Through the crack, the brilliant yet cold light of the divine realm shone through. The Golden Palace Messenger panicked and tried to repair the crack, but was entangled by Chu Mochen's Taichu Sword Technique. The golden runes flowing on the Hanyuan Sword continuously collided with the laws of the divine realm, erupting in dazzling sparks.
At this moment, Yun Yao suddenly felt a sharp burning sensation within her system spirit ring. The system's voice was filled with unprecedented urgency: "Detected that the host has completed the 'Dual Chapter Combination' achievement, unlocking the 'Three Thousand Divine Realms Map'! However, the Jinque Envoy is summoning reinforcements from the Divine Realm; they must enter immediately!"
Yun Yao gritted her teeth and nodded, turning to the villagers and shouting, "Everyone, come here!" She held the crack with both hands, and the power of chaos rushed in frantically, trying to expand it even wider. However, at this moment, the Jinque Envoy summoned a divine treasure—the Heavenly Dao Compass.
The Heavenly Dao Compass hovered in the air, emitting waves of terrifying pressure. It began to spin rapidly, and with each revolution, Yun Yao felt her strength being drained away. Even more terrifying, the compass began to reverse time and space, attempting to trap them in this world of cultivation that was about to be swallowed by chaos.
"We can't let it continue to spin!" Chu Mochen's eyes flashed with determination. He suddenly threw the Hanyuan Sword at Yun Yao and rushed towards the Heavenly Dao Compass. The Hanyuan Sword drew a golden arc in the air and landed steadily in Yun Yao's hands.
"Chu Mochen!" Yun Yao's eyes were bloodshot. She tried to stop him, but it was too late. Chu Mochen's body erupted in blazing golden flames—his soul ignited as he unleashed the forbidden technique of the Beginning. He transformed into a massive golden phoenix and swooped down upon the Heavenly Dao Compass.
The moment the phoenix collided with the compass, an earth-shattering roar erupted. Cracks began to appear on Chu Mochen's phoenix shadow, but he remained tightly entangled with the compass. He turned back to Yun Yao and gave her a pale but determined smile, "Yun Yao, take everyone away..."
Yun Yao's eyes were red as she gripped her swords tightly. She felt the power of the "Tears of Choice" within her begin to awaken, and her Chaos Dao Body entered a strange state. She took a deep breath, focused all her strength on the tips of her swords, and slashed with all her might towards the gate to the divine realm.
"Taixu Yin Yang Slash!"
This combined force of two chapters, three tears, and the full force of the Chaos Dao Body actually widened the crack in the Divine Realm Gate to a point where everyone could pass through. The Jinque Envoy was so shaken by this force that he vomited blood, and cracks appeared on the Heavenly Dao Compass.
"Let's go!" Yun Yao grabbed the dying Chu Mochen who flew back and rushed into the gate of the divine realm with the villagers. The moment she stepped through the gate, she looked back at the cultivation world that was gradually being swallowed by chaos, and a complex light flashed in her eyes.
After they passed through the divine realm's gate, the cracks behind them quickly closed. Yun Yao and the others emerged in a strange space, where countless luminous stars hovered. Beneath their feet was a passage composed of some mysterious substance, extending into the unknown distance.
"Is this the realm of gods?" The old village chief curiously reached out to touch the stars around him, but found that the stars passed directly through his palm.
The System Master's voice sounded at the perfect moment: "This is the 'Starfall Corridor' of the God Realm, a passage connecting the various God Realms. We have detected the Elemental God Realm ahead of the host, which is the first target marked on the map of the Three Thousand God Realms. However, the Elemental God Realm is currently controlled by twelve Elemental Lords, and the Jinque Envoy may have already informed them in advance to set up an ambush."
Yun Yao looked down at the unconscious Chu Mochen in her arms, a cold look in her eyes. She gently handed Chu Mochen to the old village chief, stood up, and gripped her swords tightly. "Since that's the case, let's take the initiative. The Elemental God Realm's heavenly rule is chaos, and my Chaos Dao Body is just right..." She paused, chaotic energy surging around her. "We can give them a surprise."
However, just as everyone was about to follow the passage to the Elemental God Realm, the stars on either side of the passage suddenly began to flicker violently. Then, countless figures emerged from the stars—a group of divine guards clad in silver armor. They wielded spears, their eyes cold. The leading guard sneered, "You ants from the lower realm, thinking you could escape to the divine realm and survive? Lord Jinque has foreseen this. This is your burial place!"
Yun Yao's eyes glared, the power of the Chaos Dao Body surging through her body to its full potential. She knew the real challenge had only just begun... Meanwhile, in the nearby Elemental God Realm, the twelve Elemental Lords had received the news and were rushing towards the Falling Star Corridor. Some anticipated the Chaos Dao Body's appearance, while others harbored murderous intent, ready to strangle Yun Yao and the others before they could even enter the Elemental God Realm. A greater crisis was quietly approaching.
