Chapter 1842 Signing the Great Dao Contract
"Dao Seal, activate!"
Jiao'er spoke softly.
next moment--
"boom--"
The illusory Dao Seal descended with a roar, imprinting itself on the core array eye of the Burial Heaven Array.
There were no earth-shattering explosions.
There was no cataclysmic impact.
There is only one form of unquestionable repression.
Wherever the Dao Seal went, the operation of the Burial Heaven Array... came to a standstill.
All the burial stars stopped rotating, and even the Immortal Burial Stele that was about to solidify... froze in place.
"This...this is..." The Gluttonous Demon Lord's broken body trembled violently, his scarlet eyes filled with fear, "The Taiyi Authority...the true Taiyi Authority!"
Although he was seriously injured, he still retained his senses.
He could clearly sense that the power contained within that illusory Dao seal had completely surpassed the Golden Immortal level; it was a power belonging to a higher dimension!
"break."
Jiao'er spoke again.
"Snap, snap—!!!"
The Heaven-Burial Array has shattered.
It was not destroyed by violence, but forcibly dismantled at the level of rules.
All the burial texts, star formations, calamity rhymes, and immortal burial steles... were shattered.
"puff--!!!"
Kongxuan Immortal Venerable coughed up black blood, his seven orifices shattered simultaneously, and the Daoist aura around his body collapsed wildly.
The great formation he built at the cost of destroying his own ferry was broken, and the backlash he suffered was devastating!
His cultivation level plummeted from the peak of the Golden Immortal realm... all the way down!
Late-stage Golden Immortal... Mid-stage Golden Immortal... Early-stage Golden Immortal...
The ferry was shattered, the foundation collapsed, and the soul was severely injured.
What's even more terrifying is that the lingering power of the Dao Seal... has not yet dissipated.
"town."
Jiao'er spoke for the third time.
This time, the illusory image of the Dao Seal slowly pressed down on the remaining Golden Immortals of the allied forces.
"Do not--!!!"
The Thousand-Faced Demon Lord let out a shrill scream, frantically burning his last bit of essence in an attempt to escape.
But under the authority of Taiyi, all struggles are in vain.
The illusory image of the Dao Seal trembled slightly.
"puff!"
The Thousand-Faced Demon Lord, along with his shattered Thousand-Faced Ferry... was destroyed.
He fell from grace during the mid-stage of the Golden Immortal realm.
"Spare me! Spare me!"
The Celestial Venerable of the Cloud Palace cried out in anguish, while the Nine-Colored Cloud Ferries spun wildly in an attempt to defend themselves.
But the illusory image of the Dao Seal only trembled slightly.
"Snap—!!"
The Radiant Ferry exploded, and the Immortal Venerable Xiaque's body disintegrated inch by inch, leaving only a wisp of his true spirit to escape into the void.
But it's completely ruined now.
The Gluttonous Demon Lord was even more decisive.
The instant the Dao Seal phantom descended, he directly self-destructed the wrecked dark red ferry, using the ferry fragments as a price to forcibly tear open a void rift, dragging half of his mangled body into it.
Although he escaped with his life, the ferry was destroyed, and his cultivation would never advance.
Thus, the eight Golden Immortals of the Allied Forces—the Prison Demon Lord, the Heavenly Eye Immortal Lord, and the Thousand-Faced Demon Lord—have perished.
The Cold Silence Demon Lord, the Wonderful Law Immortal Lord, the Gluttonous Demon Lord, and the Rosy Cloud Immortal Lord were all deposed.
Kongxuan Immortal Venerable's ferry was shattered, and his cultivation level dropped to the early stage of Golden Immortal.
completely annihilated!
After suppressing and killing three Golden Immortals, the illusory image of the Dao Seal finally exhausted its power and slowly dissipated.
"puff--!"
Jiao'er spat out a mouthful of icy blue primordial blood, staggering and almost losing her balance.
Forcibly activating the fragment of the Taiyi Dao Seal was too taxing on her.
The ferry seal between her brows had completely dimmed, and the illusory image of the ice crystal ferry appeared and disappeared, as if it would collapse at any moment.
"Jiao'er!" Zhang Xuan hurriedly stepped forward to help him up.
“It’s alright…” Jiao’er shook her head, her icy blue eyes looking towards the battlefield.
At this moment, the battle of true immortals has also been decided.
Upon witnessing the defeat of the Golden Immortals, the morale of the Allied True Immortals had already collapsed, and they scattered and fled.
You Wuyai, Ling Feng, and others led the remaining True Immortals in a frenzied pursuit, leaving behind dozens more True Immortal corpses.
In the end, of the 280 True Immortals in the allied forces, less than 100 managed to escape; the rest were either killed or captured.
The great battle... is over.
The Nine Divine Realms and the Mysterious Void Realm have won.
But it was a Pyrrhic victory.
Jiao'er was severely injured, and her vital essence was greatly damaged.
The Xuanweizi Ferry was severely damaged and will require at least a thousand years to recover.
Jade Balance Immortal Lord's cultivation was suppressed, and the Holy Light Ferry was covered with cracks.
The Celestial Monitoring Instrument of Venerable Dongxuan was shattered, and his Dao foundation was damaged.
The Zhang Xuan Jiu You Ferry was in ruins, with its three main trunks almost withered.
At the True Immortal level, the losses were even more severe.
Of the forty-three True Immortals from the Nine Realms and the Mysterious Void Realm, only twenty-seven remain, and most of them are severely injured.
Of the three hundred True Immortal Puppets, less than a hundred are still functional.
The ninth-order grand formation... was completely shattered.
But in any case, they won.
Despite being at a significant disadvantage, they won... at a heavy cost.
The void was silent.
The surviving allied cultivators gathered around Immortal Venerable Kongxuan, their eyes filled with fear as they looked at the group opposite them who, though wounded, still stood tall.
Kongxuan Immortal Venerable's face was as pale as paper, his breath was weak, but there was still resentment in his eyes.
“You… have won.” His voice was hoarse. “But this grudge… will never be forgotten by the Three Pure Immortal Realms and the Abyss of the Primordial Demon.”
"So what?" Venerable Dongxuan stepped forward, his momentum undiminished despite his serious injuries. "You have lost today, so you must accept it."
He looked at Immortal Venerable Kongxuan and slowly said, "Let's sign the Great Dao Contract."
"What contract?"
"First, the Three Pure Immortal Realms and the Primordial Demon Abyss shall henceforth refrain from coveting the Nine Divine Realms and the Profound Void Realm, and shall not infringe upon the territories of the two realms in any form."
"Secondly, all the terms of offerings, tributes, and resource plundering previously imposed on the Xuanxu Great Realm by the two realms are hereby nullified."
"Third, neither realm shall interfere with the internal operation or the inheritance of the Dao in the Nine Divine Realms and the Xuanxu Great Realm for any reason."
"Fourth, all cultivators who participated in the battle today, and their respective forces, shall not set foot on the land of the Nine Dragon Veins for a million years."
With each statement made by Venerable Dongxuan, Immortal Venerable Kongxuan's expression grew increasingly grim.
This is practically trampling the face of the Three Pure Immortal Realms and the Abyss of Primordial Demons underfoot!
But he knew he had no right to refuse.
What dignity can a defeated general speak of?
“…Fine.” Immortal Venerable Kongxuan gritted his teeth. “The contract is witnessed by the Heavenly Dao, and the fortunes of both parties’ realms are pledged—if there is any breach, the fortunes of the realms will decline, and the Great Dao will reject it.”
“That’s exactly right,” Venerable Dongxuan nodded.
The next moment, the two raised their hands simultaneously, using the remaining Golden Immortal Daoist essence to outline ancient contract runes in the void.
The runes took shape and merged with the Heavenly Dao.
In the darkness, all the participating cultivators felt an invisible force of constraint descending.
That is the power of the Great Dao Source Contract, which is secured by the fortunes of both realms. If it is violated, it will surely be punished by the Heavenly Dao!
The Heavenly Contract is signed.
Kongxuan Immortal Venerable glanced at everyone one last time, his eyes filled with resentment, but ultimately said nothing more.
He turned around, and with the remaining allied cultivators, transformed into streaks of light and disappeared into the depths of the void.
His back view... was disheveled and desolate.
Until the last figure disappeared, the void finally fell completely silent.
"puff--!"
Jiao'er coughed up blood again, and the illusory image of the ice crystal ferry finally couldn't hold on any longer and completely collapsed.
Her body went limp, and she collapsed into Zhang Xuan's arms.
"Jiao'er!" Zhang Xuan's expression changed drastically.
"It's alright...it's just that I've overdrawn my energy..." Jiao'er's icy blue eyes slowly closed. "Take me...back..."
Before she could finish speaking, she had already fallen into a deep coma.
"Quickly, return to the Nine Realms!" Venerable Dongxuan shouted.
Without further delay, the group cleaned up the battlefield, collected spoils, and, carrying the wounded, transformed into streaks of light and sped towards the Nine Divine Realms.
The void battlefield left only the lingering energy aftershocks.
