An Immortal Bridge Great Perfected Lord forcefully elevating his stature.
Generally speaking, this kind of thing was no different from suicide. Because before you could even elevate your stature to the Great Perfection of the Golden Core, you would already be lost in the dark void as a result.
However, there were always exceptions to everything.
For example, the former Spiritual Power Dao Lord, or the current Perfected Lord Supreme Law Upholding Origin.
At this moment, the groups of true spirits within the [Crimson Chariot Treasure Banner] became Perfected Lord Supreme Law Upholding Origin's anchor, allowing him to maintain a moment of lucidity.
Truly only an instant.
In this instant, his stature genuinely reached the Dao Sovereign level of the Great Perfection of the Golden Core. However, in the next instant, he would be lost in eternal annihilation.
To the vast majority of people in the world, burning one's life and going all out just for this momentary brightness held absolutely no meaning whatsoever. But under the mighty power at the Dao Lord level, this momentary brightness was enough to rival eternity, and even decide the changes of the entire battle situation.
"Boom!"
As far as the eye could see, the crimson brilliance boldly charged into the Dao Lords' battlefield. Without hesitation, like splitting bamboo, carrying an exquisitely beautiful resplendence.
However, they didn't go to block the Dao Arts Dao Lord.
That blood-like dark red spread all the way, yet it spread towards the battlefield of the [Heavenly Dao] and Dao Tianqi. This was an attack destined to be annihilated.
Yet they still proceeded without hesitation.
It was exactly this change that made the Dao Arts Dao Lord, who originally planned to charge into the Netherworld and gorge himself, stop in his tracks, revealing a brief hesitation.
Because the "future" had changed.
Originally, under the combined efforts of Sword Lord and Cang Hao, Dao Tianqi was already approaching "exhausted fortune." The future drawn out for him by [Destiny] was also becoming increasingly clear.
But the instant the crimson brilliance approached, the originally stabilizing long river of fate once again set off turbulent waves. Tributary after tributary was washed out, and brand new future scenes erupted... Without a doubt, if they were truly allowed to charge over, Dao Tianqi would inevitably break free as a result.
What would that result in?
Dao Tianqi breaking free, Perfected Lord Supreme Law Upholding Origin bringing a massive number of Ancient Method Perfected Lords... Once they went to the battlefield between the World Honored One and the Primordial Saint, and then sacrificed themselves...
The World Honored One would inevitably recover!
With this level of seas of consciousness actively fed to the World Honored One, it would inevitably allow him to recover true Dao Lord stature, becoming the final victor of this Dao Lord struggle!
How could they accept this?
"Stop him! Myriad Laws!"
In an instant, the Dao Arts Dao Lord had already sorted out his thoughts and also heard Sword Lord's voice. He immediately turned the rosy light condensed from Dao Arts around.
Like a city wall lying across heaven and earth, the boiling rosy light surged like a massive tide, welling up from the boundless horizon. At first glance, it seemed to only block one side, but in reality, no matter which direction Perfected Lord Supreme Law Upholding Origin chose to break out from, he would ultimately fall into this rosy light.
However, this was an unnecessary move.
Because Perfected Lord Supreme Law Upholding Origin had absolutely no intention of taking a detour or evading. The crimson brilliance simply crashed straight into the howling rosy light.
The first to break in was a crimson battle flag.
It was held in Perfected Lord Supreme Law Upholding Origin's hand. Facing the impact of countless Dao Arts concepts, facing the might of a Dao Lord directly, yet it still remained unbroken like a pillar supporting the heavens.
Because every time it swayed, a true spirit would step out from behind Perfected Lord Supreme Law Upholding Origin, stiffly but firmly placing their hand on the flagpole. They held up the flagpole together, maintaining Perfected Lord Supreme Law Upholding Origin's only anchor, allowing that already bright crimson brilliance to burn even more intensely.
But that was all.
A forcefully elevated stature merely allowed Perfected Lord Supreme Law Upholding Origin to stand on the level of a Dao Lord. It didn't mean he could truly contend with a Dao Lord.
Not to mention the Dao Arts Dao Lord wasn't weak.
The illusory brilliance condensed from billions of Dao Arts presented endless variations at this moment. Like sharp blades, continuously subjecting the crimson that broke into it to a death by a thousand cuts.
"..."
Watching this scene, Lu Yang knew he should do something.
That's right, in his original conception, at the end of this life he wouldn't need to do anything, nor could he do anything. He was just a spectator offstage.
However, spectators also have biases.
Even with Lu Yang's calmness, watching this scene, a thought uncontrollably arose in his heart— he wanted Supreme Law, Dao Tianqi, the World Honored One, and the others to win.
Then what should he do?
In Lu Yang's palm, a flowing silver light surfaced. That was the [Floating Light Realm Sea Great Immortal Art]. He had been accumulating it ever since entering the Netherworld.
Although he had used it before, he had never used it to self-detonate.
By now, this sea of incarnations had long accumulated an unimaginable scale. Once blown up with a [Great Self-Detonation], the power would definitely not be underestimated.
'But... my stature isn't enough!'
The stature of an Immortal Bridge Great Perfected Lord, even with billions of self-detonations, to a Great Perfection of the Golden Core two levels ahead of him, it would be nothing more than a splashing wave.
Use [Heavenly Destiny Reckoning]?
'No. Putting aside the fact that [Heavenly Destiny Reckoning]'s profound wonder of elevating stature hasn't reached that level yet, it has already been sent into the [Arctic Exorcism Court] by me.'
The current [Arctic Exorcism Court] had completely merged with the [Heavenly Destiny Reckoning] attained by Lu Yang through the Void. The five True Treasures had also merged into it together. Speaking bluntly, it was now a super miniature Netherworld, Lu Yang's greatest reliance for his next life. It absolutely could not be used no matter what.
Lu Yang convinced himself with reason.
Although his blood was also boiling, and he even wanted to charge up and fight shoulder to shoulder with Perfected Lord Supreme Law Upholding Origin, he ultimately maintained the calmness of his thoughts.
His battle was not on the frontal battlefield.
'I need to break the deadlock.'
'The key is not me. I'm just at the Immortal Bridge realm. To a Dao Lord, I am no different from an ant. Only mighty power of the same level has the ability to interfere.'
Lu Yang's gaze finally landed on another corner of the battlefield.
There, a surging ocean of spiritual power was still colliding with a churning sea of fog. Endless concepts were continuously clashing, falling into a certain stalemate.
[Sky-shrouding].
Although he suffered a shameless sneak attack, the Spiritual Power Dao Lord also had methods. After recovering, he still firmly suppressed the newly broken-through [Sky-shrouding].
However, he had a flaw.
Among the various Dao Lords, only he had a flaw, and a very big one at that. More importantly, with his own abilities, there was a way to make his flaw even bigger!
With this thought, Lu Yang finally moved.
Galloping golden lightning converged at his fingertips. It was the [Divine Firmament Thunder]. Besides this, a ball of crimson raging fire also ignited on his body.
'In my next life, I will choose to restart from the initial anchor point.'
'I will still be at Qi Refining, clean and innocent, throwing off all karma, using the [Arctic Exorcism Court] as the core, jumping out of the Dao Lords' line of sight.'
Therefore, besides the [Arctic Exorcism Court], everything else could be sacrificed.
[Divine Firmament Thunder]? I don't want it anymore!
Dharma Body Dao? I don't want it anymore!
"Screw it, I'm exploding with you all!"
At this moment, Lu Yang unhesitatingly fed his Dharma Body to the [Divine Firmament Thunder], urging the profound wonder with all his might. At the same time, a talent was also activated.
[Golden Talent: Ancestral Dragon Remnant]!
[Ancestral Dragon Remnant: Things related to the Ancestral Dragon will spontaneously draw close to you. Among them are opportunities, and also grave dangers. One wrong step means eternal damnation.]
'Come on, draw close to me.'
Lu Yang parted his lips and teeth, slowly spitting out a burst of profound sound: "The Innate Dao God is not the only one. The birth and end of the Light Sea is exactly the concept of Dragon and Tiger..."
Forbidden Knowledge!
The Forbidden Knowledge of the Ancestral Dragon's birth, paired with [Ancestral Dragon Remnant], and then using the [Divine Firmament Thunder] converged from the Five Elements concepts to further strengthen perception.
Then, a variable appeared.
The shattered [Five Elements] Great Dao miraculously responded to Lu Yang's call at this moment. And one profound wonder within it even answered Lu Yang's appeal.
Wood of the Five Elements.
"Boom!"
The next second, the Spiritual Power Dao Lord, who originally had [Sky-shrouding] firmly suppressed, abruptly stagnated. The mighty torrent of spiritual power collapsed with a boom!
Back during the [Five Elements] seal, what the Spiritual Power Dao Lord was responsible for suppressing was precisely the [Wood of the Five Elements], corresponding to [Tribulation]. And because of this, he left behind a very deep hidden danger. Even though the [Five Elements] was already unsealed, this hidden danger still connected to the Spiritual Power Dao Lord in the unseen realm, and was pried open at this moment!
This wasn't all.
More importantly, the [Sky-shrouding] currently fighting the Spiritual Power Dao Lord commanded exactly [Great Forest Wood] and [Tribulation]. The concepts added yet another layer!
Lu Yang, this ant, stood on the most crucial end of the scale at this moment.
Thus, the battle situation tilted.
[Sky-shrouding], originally suppressed by the Spiritual Power Dao Lord and unable to interfere with the outside world, was already unchecked, gaining the opportunity to intervene in the battle situation!
