Chapter 865: 3 Tribulations True Immortal: Broken Dao Heart
Blood-red clouds surged across the Taixu Immortal Realm. Yun Yao's Chaos Dao Foundation radiated fine star patterns across her chest. Chu Mochen's Ni Lin Blood Sword clashed with the Chi Xiao Zhan of the Tian Dao Pavilion's Three Tribulations True Immortal, sending a myriad of sparks flying. Dragon blood dripped down Chu Mochen's pale jaw, emitting wisps of green smoke as it burned across the basalt of the ancient battlefield. His golden-red pupils suddenly constricted—a dark purple Dao Heart Seed Demon Seal had formed on the True Immortal's fingertips at some point.
"Yao'er, close your eyes!" Chu Mochen shouted, forcibly reversing his sword's momentum to protect her. But the True Immortal's magic seal was like a thorn in the flesh, splitting into seven shadows in mid-air, locking onto Yun Yao's acupuncture points like the seven stars of the Big Dipper. In the nick of time, Yun Yao suddenly remembered the theory of constructing a "mental maze" from her psychology class before the time travel. She bit her tongue and, using her essence and blood, mapped out the topological structure of a Klein bottle in her sea of consciousness.
The demonic seal slammed into the invisible barrier with a piercing shriek. The True Immortal's shadowy figure froze. "You can actually decipher the mystical magic of the Demonic Dao?!" Before she could finish her words, Yun Yao's Chaos Dao foundation suddenly blazed with a powerful light. She backhandedly unleashed the spatial folding technique she'd mastered from the Falling Star Canyon, trapping the True Immortal's right arm in an endlessly looping space. The Blood Sword of Reverse Scales pierced the air, severing the Dao-marked arm. Chu Mochen stumbled, holding onto Yun Yao's shoulder, dragon blood drizzling down their clasped palms.
"Be careful!" The system's alarm blared, accompanied by the True Immortal's sinister grin. Yun Yao's pupils constricted—instead of blood, demonic energy thick as pitch gushed from the True Immortal's severed arm. It condensed in the air into the blurry features of the Heavenly Dao Pavilion Master. "Emissary of the Void Spirit, don't think you can defy fate by rewriting the destiny chart." The Pavilion Master's voice carried the wails of countless wronged souls. "Zhu Yin still harbors the Heavenly Dao poison seed I planted a hundred years ago."
Chu Mochen's face paled instantly. He clutched his chest and dropped to one knee. His Ni Lin Blood Sword plunged deeply into the ground, sending sparks illuminating the spiderweb-like black lines that formed on his neck. Yun Yao felt a chill run down her spine, memories flooding back—when she'd retrieved the Heavenly Dao Fate Plate in Longyuan Sea, she'd clearly seen a crack as dark as ink on it. It turned out that from the moment they'd met, Chu Mochen had been cursed with the prospect of exploding at any moment.
"Exchange your Chaos Dao Foundation for his life." The True Immortal wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and condensed a larger magic seal in his hand. "Or watch those who defy fate turn into a pool of blood in front of you." Yun Yao's fingertips trembled slightly, and the Chaos Dao Foundation was running wildly in her dantian. Suddenly, she remembered the sinister smile on the face of the Star Burning Domain Lord before he betrayed her at the Star Realm Council - the Tiandao Pavilion never gives people a real choice.
"Okay, I agree." Yun Yao suddenly smiled softly. Under Chu Mochen's stunned gaze, she took the initiative to approach the magic seal. But just as the magic seal was about to touch her brow, her pupils suddenly erupted with brilliant starlight. Her right hand formed a hand seal that unexpectedly combined modern quantum entanglement theory with the art of clones from the world of cultivation. Three phantoms appeared simultaneously, each holding the Void Jade, the Heavenly Dao Fate Disk, and a token from the Star Realm Council.
"Do you think I will repeat the same mistake?" Yun Yao's main clone stood in the air, and the chaotic Taoist foundation turned into chains to entangle the magic seal of the True Immortal. "In the Fallen Star Canyon, I not only integrated the memories, but also analyzed all the secret techniques of your Tiandao Pavilion." Her voice was chilling, and the seal formed with her left hand was actually a reverse deduction of the cognitive behavioral therapy in psychology and the Heart Demon Method of Taoism.
The True Immortal's expression finally changed. He discovered that the demonic thoughts he had injected into Yun Yao's sea of consciousness were circulating endlessly within the maze of thoughts she had constructed, gradually transforming into pure spiritual energy. Even more terrifying, the chaotic Dao foundation surrounding Yun Yao began to feed back into Chu Mochen, forcing the poisonous seeds of the Heavenly Dao within him to his fingertips. "Impossible..." The True Immortal screamed, attempting to self-destruct his Nascent Soul, only to find that his cultivation was being forcibly stripped away by some force.
At that moment, Yun Yao's system suddenly sounded a piercing alarm. Looking up, she saw spiderweb-like cracks forming in the Taixu Immortal Realm's sky. Countless chains, emitting a decaying aura, dangled from the sky—those were the Heavenly Dao Corpses awakened by the Heavenly Dao Pavilion Master! Even more terrifying, one of the chains had a holographic projection of modern Earth entwined within it. Countless cultivators were pouring through the cracks into Earth's atmosphere.
"So that's how it is..." Yun Yao's voice was as cold as ice, and her Chaos Dao Foundation burst out with unprecedented light. "You have long been eyeing the revival of the earth's spiritual energy. Chu Mochen, do you still remember the Ni Lin secret room we found in Longyuan Sea?" She suddenly grasped Chu Mochen's bloody hand and heavily collided his Ni Lin Blood Sword with her Xu Ling Jade.
The moment the two divine artifacts resonated, a resounding dragon roar echoed through heaven and earth. Yun Yao's mind flashed back to a scene from a century ago: before his fall into demonic ways, the previous Void Envoy had secretly split the Celestial Core in two, hiding one half in the Dragon Abyss Sea. The other half... unexpectedly, was found in the jade pendant she had carried with her during her time travel! And now, that jade pendant was in the hands of her modern mother.
"It turns out everything is a game within a game." Yun Yao's lips curled into a cruel smile. Her Chaos Dao Foundation transformed into countless star blades, completely crushing the True Immortal. She turned to look at Chu Mochen, whose neck had mostly faded. "This time, we must not only save the Earth, but also completely overturn the chessboard of the Tiandao Pavilion."
The Pavilion Master's sneer echoed through the cracks of the Taixu Immortal Realm, but Yun Yao was no longer afraid. She tossed the Star Realm Council's token into the air, and the shadowy figures of the three star realm masters appeared simultaneously. "Prepare for battle," she said in a voice as firm as steel. "When the foundation of the Chaos Dao resonates with the essence of the Star Realm, the so-called Heavenly Dao becomes nothing more than a rewritten script."
Chu Mochen gripped her hand tightly, and the Ni Lin Blood Sword reignited its golden-red flame. Behind them, on the basalt, stained red with the blood of the True Immortals, mysterious astral patterns began to emerge—a sign of the impending awakening of the Multiverse. Far away on modern Earth, Yun Yao's mother clutched the jade pendant, gazing at the eerie crack in the sky, whispering softly, "Xu Ling, we'll wait for you to return home."
