Chen Lan looked toward the sky, where lightning flashed and thunder roared, and an aura enveloped him.

The Celestial Emperor, the Heavenly Dao of the Cyan Heaven Immortal Realm, was at the level of the Celestial Emperor.

In an instant, both Heavenly Daos were personified.

A man and a woman appeared in the sky, the man handsome, the woman stunning. The man represented the Blue Star Heavenly Dao, the woman the Cyan Heaven Immortal Realm's Heavenly Dao.

"Your fusion of worlds to annex me, isn't that too much!" the Blue Star Heavenly Dao spoke coldly.

"Hehe, since ancient times, the weak are prey to the strong. If you are weak, you should be annexed by me." The Immortal Realm's Heavenly Dao sneered.

As long as she annexed the Blue Star Heavenly Dao before her eyes, she could successfully break through to the realm of the Supreme Great Emperor, and then better control this world.

Perhaps she could even be chosen by the Desolate Celestial Realm to break free from the Heavenly Dao and continue her journey as a cultivator.

The reason the Heavenly Dao can become the Heavenly Dao is by sacrificing their freedom, transforming into the Dao, and thus being unable to enter the mortal world again.

But the Desolate Celestial Realm possesses such power that it can transform the Heavenly Dao back into human form, and then select a substitute.

"Oh? Is that so? Then you, being weak, should be killed by me."

At this moment, a young voice sounded, startling the Immortal Realm's Heavenly Dao to look back.

Chen Lan stood with his hands behind his back, smiling calmly at her.

"Who are you?"

"The one who will kill you."

Without another word, Chen Lan instantly pointed with a finger, and terrifying spiritual Qi directly obliterated the Immortal Realm's Heavenly Dao, leaving not a trace.

"She's dead; you can now annex the Cyan Heaven Immortal Realm," Chen Lan said, looking at the Blue Star Heavenly Dao.

The Blue Star Heavenly Dao was obviously still in shock, staring blankly at Chen Lan, not expecting Chen Lan to be so fierce, killing the opponent in one blow.

Had he been in seclusion for too long, and Chen Lan's strength had undergone earth-shattering changes?

"Celestial Venerable, your strength has grown stronger," the Heavenly Dao said in a stupefied voice.

Chen Lan merely nodded and said nothing more, then left.

Standing before the space tunnel of the Ancient Wilderness Demon Realm, Chen Lan was deep in thought.

Just the day before, he had closed all space tunnels to the Ghost Realm, preventing anyone inside from leaving.

He thought he could invite the people and demons of the Demon Realm over, allow them to die on Blue Star, breaking open the array just the same.

Moreover, with their arrival, he wouldn't need to lift a hand against the demon beasts of Blue Star; letting these people and demons slaughter each other would suffice. He could save time to comprehend the Dao.

Currently, the World Map still contained many Dao sounds not yet refined, the most crucial being the Taoist Saint's legacy, which included a supreme secret technique imparted to him by a senior.

Named the [Great Dao Tree], this secret technique was incredibly powerful and terrifying, planting a seed of the Great Dao within the body, which could be nourished by countless Great Dao.

When this seed took root and sprouted, eventually growing into a great tree, its roots would connect through the body's bones and meridians, providing a constant stream of Dao power, while the Dao power would flow continuously through the Great Dao Tree, replenishing Dao power at all times.

Ultimately, the Great Dao Tree would bear fruit, producing Great Dao fruits.

These Great Dao fruits are astonishing, collecting the power of the Great Dao within them, which could be consumed by others or oneself; consuming them generates more Dao sounds to comprehend the Great Dao!

It's like an infinite buffet of Dao sounds. Given enough time, Chen Lan could possess endless Dao sounds, eventually mastering three thousand Great Daos and achieving perfection!

With this thought, Chen Lan waved his hand, lifting the seal on the Ancient Wilderness Demon Realm.

This seal was set by him the previous day, to prevent those within from causing trouble on Blue Star.

But now, it's time for them to wreak havoc.

With the seal lifted, it's only a matter of waiting for the first courageous warrior to defy his orders and come over.

He believed it wouldn't be long before someone emerged from within.

But he didn't have the time to wait; comprehending the Dao was urgent.

...

Desolate Celestial Realm.

Underworld.

"Lord of Heaven, we've captured numerous potential souls from Blue Star. In less than a month, the Underworld is sure to grow rapidly, potentially rivaling the Celestial Court."

In the vast palace, a pale yet extraordinarily enchanting and handsome man sat on the throne.

Two figures approached, resembling humans but one with the head of an ox and the other with the face of a horse.

They were followed by a long queue of souls.

Their eyes were vacant, their hands and feet shackled, deprived of freedom.

If Chen Lan were present, he'd surely recognize them, as they were almost all acquaintances, all captured out of their souls!

"Very good, quite impressive indeed. Let these souls work; they'll labor for the Underworld for a hundred thousand years before being released," said the Lord of the Underworld, nodding with satisfaction at the souls.

"Yes." Oxhead and Ma Mian nodded, leading the souls away.

"With these souls, the standing of the Underworld could ascend yet higher. The Celestial Court is nothing much," he said, just as a Ghost Messenger hurried in to whisper in his ear.

"What! Sun Wukong has been captured by the Celestial Court!" the Lord of the Underworld exclaimed, shocked.

Sun Wukong was famously a genius from the Profound Dust Realm, capable of reaching the Celestial Emperor level despite the Heaven and Earth Laws.

Having spent considerable time in the Desolate Celestial Realm, he was privy to many secrets, and Sun Wukong's previous breakthrough had entirely exceeded the expectations of the Desolate Celestial Realm.

The only explanation was Sun Wukong's extraordinary origin, his birth from the Divine Stone that patched the heavens, thus achieving the Celestial Emperor level.

Captured by the Celestial Court, given substantial resources, Sun Wukong might swiftly rise to become a Daoist Venerable or even a Taoist Saint.

With such a mighty warrior, the Celestial Court's status would rise significantly.

"Curse it; they managed to capture him. Who captured him?"

"Cui Jue."

"What? That traitor, where is he now?!"

"Judge Cui has left the Underworld; he's joined the Celestial Court."

"Damn that Cui Jue! I had assigned him the task to capture Sun Wukong, never expecting he'd already joined the Celestial Court."

The Lord of the Underworld's gaze turned icy, grinding his teeth, eager to strike Cui Jue down immediately.

But now, that guy was nowhere to be found; having joined the Celestial Court, there was no opportunity to act.

"Lord of Heaven, there's another matter. Lady Houtu has foretold that within a month, the Blue Star Array will break open, and then we can go down."

Hearing this, the Lord of the Underworld laughed, a piece of good news indeed.

"Additionally, there seems to be a change on Blue Star; a Daoist Venerable has appeared."

This took the Lord of the Underworld slightly by surprise.

A Daoist Venerable on Blue Star?

How is that possible, with such strong Heaven and Earth Laws there, it's unimaginable for anyone to break through.

Moreover, the world fusion hadn't been long; it's even more unlikely.

"Where did you get this information?"

"Lady Houtu said; she also mentioned that soon, the Underworld would undergo earth-shattering changes!"
