Chapter 764: Origin of the Dao

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

Jiang Changsheng’s gaze landed on the Overlord Ancestor. The Overlord Ancestor wore a loose black robe, and his long hair was still draped over his shoulders. Even though he did not look as terrifying as he looked in the tribulation clouds, he still emitted an aura that looked down on all beings.

The Overlord Ancestor stared at Jiang Changsheng and slowly said, “I am very gratified that Fellow Daoist has grasped my Great Unity Technique. The Immortal Dao today has developed extremely well. I have to admit that I am inferior to you in terms of developing an orthodoxy. In the past, I felt that as long as I was strong enough to sweep through all enemies, I could smoothly restore the Immortal Dao.”

Towards the end, his tone carried a trace of melancholy.

Jiang Changsheng could not help but ask, “In that case, why do you still want to take the old path?”

There was no threshold to join the Overlord Immortal Dao, nor was there any screening. As long as they were willing, they could join. It seemed fair, but it would also gather those with deep karma. Moreover, living beings getting along with Dao Ghosts would certainly attract trouble. There were also grudges between different races and orthodoxies that needed to be resolved.

The Immortal Dao had absorbed Dao Yan and Jing Jue, and the result seemed to be very smooth. However, during this process, the Heavenly Court, Dao Sect, Buddhist Sect, and many other merit sects had worked hard. Jiang Changsheng never believed that the Immortal Dao could have its current achievements all thanks to his efforts. He could only guarantee the existence of the Immortal Dao, and the ones who truly advanced its development were the people of the Immortal Dao.

The meaning of the existence of an orthodoxy was inheritance. It was not something that a single person could complete.

“I am not trying to re-establish the Immortal Dao. After all, there is already the Immortal Dao in the current boundless world. I am already very satisfied with your Immortal Dao,” the Overlord Ancestor replied.

This answer was not out of Jiang Changsheng’s expectations. He felt that with the Overlord Ancestor’s personality, he would definitely take revenge.

The Overlord Ancestor stared at Jiang Changsheng and said, “Do you know how the will of the Great Dao was born?”

Jiang Changsheng shook his head.

The Overlord Ancestor calmly said, “The boundless world was actually created by a certain existence, just like how we can create a world. However, he created the boundless world and everything we know. I can only temporarily call him Dao.”

“In a period without a world, without a universe, without order, without anything, I can’t even define that period.”

When Jiang Changsheng heard this, he could not help but ask, “Chaos?”

He had seen the creation process of the boundless world in the Taishi Nirvana Spear. Dao should be that white light figure. He remembered that after the creation of the boundless world, that white light figure had transformed into three figures, one of which he had encountered before.

Punishment Source!

That was the mysterious existence that descended when Heavenly Saint Haitian, Candle Dragon, and the others tried to destroy the Great Dao.

Dao, huh…

Jiang Changsheng thought of that white figure. If he was really the original existence and there was nothing in the absolute void, how lonely would he be? He probably could not even find the meaning of his existence. Therefore, he created the boundless world and transformed into the Great Dao.

However, if Dao was the original existence, when and why was that so-called Dao born?

To finish what you started seemed to be an untenable argument.

Even someone as powerful as Jiang Changsheng could not push it forward. Why did he and everything he knew exist, why did he exist, and where did everything start?

“Chaos? That was only a period of time when it once existed. It was very far from when Dao created the boundless world. When the boundless world was first created, it was already chaos. Before me, I don’t know how many generations of the Immortal Dao had existed. You should have a deep understanding. The Immortal Dao itself contains thousands of Daos. All 3000 Great Daos have similar Daos that exist in the Immortal Dao. My guess is that the Immortal Dao was the number one orthodoxy in the boundless world.”

After the Overlord Ancestor said that, he revealed a confused expression.

Jiang Changsheng was shocked by his words, but on second thought, he felt that it was reasonable.

The ancient Immortal Dao established by Dao Ancestor Xuanmiao was not the starting point of the Immortal Dao. However, he did not know how many years had passed.

Perhaps it was so long ago that it could no longer be measured by the concept of time.

“The boundless world is constantly expanding. In the future, the boundless world will only become more and more vast. Therefore, those who passed away might not be stronger than us. However, regardless of strength, in the face of the will of the Great Dao, they can only perish.”

The Overlord Ancestor sighed. He sighed for the past and for his fate.

Jiang Changsheng asked, “How do you know all this?”

The Overlord Ancestor replied, “When you are about to face the will of the Great Dao, it will let you see the origin of everything. It will make you realize that you should not have offended everything the Great Dao has given you and let you die in regret.”

Jiang Changsheng was puzzled. Why did the Overlord Ancestor not die then?

Why was he shackled in the lightning tribulation?

Also, what about Dao Ancestor Xuanmiao’s corpse?

Jiang Changsheng seemed to have vaguely guessed a possibility.

The Overlord Ancestor continued, “I am telling you all this not only to let you understand the will of the Great Dao, but also to let you see fate clearly. Not all your efforts are useful. Perhaps we should not have resisted the will of the Great Dao. The Immortal Dao does not only have the path of resisting the Great Dao.”

Jiang Changsheng stared at him expressionlessly.

The void fell into silence.

The Overlord Ancestor also stared at Jiang Changsheng. At this moment, their gazes were somewhat similar and were equally indifferent.

After a long time.

“The Great Dao does not tolerate the Immortal Dao. What do you want me to do?” Jiang Changsheng asked.

He slowly raised his right hand and the Taishi Nirvana Spear appeared out of thin air.

THe Overlord Ancestor’s black robe fluttered slightly, and a fierce aura was brewing that could erupt at any time.

“Hand over the Heavenly Dao to the Great Dao and I will help you eliminate the 3000 Dao Lord. He is merely a lucky person adopted by the incarnation of the will of the Great Dao. He is no longer qualified to control the boundless world!”

The Overlord Ancestor coldly said. His words revealed his hatred for the 3000 Dao Lord.

Jiang Changsheng held the Taishi Nirvana Spear with his right hand and said, “Overlord Ancestor, I am sorry to say that our paths are different when we meet again. However, since our paths are different, we are strangers. We might be able to live longer if we surrender to the Great Dao, but this is not the path I want to take.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he teleported in front of the Overlord Ancestor, startling him so much that his eyes widened.

So fast!

Even the Overlord Ancestor could not react in time. He immediately cast his Dao Intent.

Jiang Changsheng was the same. The Primordial Chaos Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal Realm also possessed the Dao intent of the Dao Intent Lord Realm. He used his Dao Intent to cover the Immortal Dao Domain.

The two powerful Dao intents collided. Jiang Changsheng forcefully brought the Overlord Ancestor into a domain he had created. Fighting here would not endanger the boundless world.

The Dao Intent Lord Realm was too powerful. He was afraid that their strength would cause irreversible damage to the boundless world and provoke the punishment of the Great Dao. The Overlord Ancestor thought the same thing, so he did not resist.

The two of them appeared in a purple void. The Overlord Ancestor’s long hair fluttered like flames, and his already wide black robe was about to explode from his powerful physical body.

Jiang Changsheng opened his Eye of the Great Dao and the pressure emitted by his magic power exploded, forcing the Overlord Ancestor to release his aura as well.

The two of them began to fight against each other. As the Dao Ancestor of an earlier generation of the Immortal Dao, the Overlord Ancestor was naturally unwilling to lose to his junior.

Jiang Changsheng was furious. In his heart, the Overlord Ancestor should not be like this.

Their auras exceeded the limits of the Dao Intent Lord Realm. The Overlord Ancestor was shocked. He had long guessed that this junior was very strong. Otherwise, he would not have been unable to fight back. However, he did not expect that even after he went all out, he could not defeat this junior.

Ultimately, it was OVerlord Ancestor who took action, but the one who took the initiative had already lost.

Boom!

The two of them collided, and their magic power set off a terrifying impact that shook the purple void. Jiang Changsheng’s spear pressed down on the Overlord Ancestor’s soul until it trembled. His blood essence that had been refined into Dao insights also trembled, as if it was about to collapse.

The Overlord Ancestor raised his hand and used the Great Unity Technique. After it was offset by Jiang Changsheng’s Great Unity Technique, he punched out a vast amount of lightning.

Jiang Changsheng was too lazy to use his Divine Power and swept across with the Taishi Nirvana Spear.

Ever since he obtained the Taishi Nirvana Spear, he did not even need to use his Divine Powers when facing enemies. The Taishi Nirvana Spear itself was a powerful attack method.

With a thrust of his spear, countless lightning bolts were absorbed and exploded in the form of nirvana, turning into endless purple lightning that drowned the Overlord Ancestor.

This was the Primordial Lightning!

The Overlord Ancestor, who had grasped the Great Dao of Lightning, was in extreme pain from the Primordial Lightning. At this moment, he was thoroughly angered.

“Very well. Then today, we will decide who is the better Dao Ancestor!”

The Overlord Ancestor shouted angrily. His black robe shattered, leaving only his belt and trousers, revealing his terrifying upper body. Black lightning wrapped around his body, and even his eyes were emitting traces of black lightning. At first glance, he seemed to be wrapped in black flames as he transformed into darkness.

He suddenly appeared in front of Jiang Changsheng, who raised his spear to block.

Black lightning exploded and the purple void shattered. An unimaginable wind of the Great Dao swept them into an unknown space and time. Jiang Changsheng and the Overlord Ancestor were still engaged in a fierce battle. The two of them fought in close combat, and every move of theirs contained the might of the Great Dao.

The Overlord Ancestor did not only know how to fight in close combat. His Divine Powers and spells did not require any movement to cast. So, while fighting, countless Divine Powers and spells continuously attacked Jiang Changsheng.

Jiang Changsheng’s physique was not weak. He had the Primordial Chaos Indestructible Golden Body Technique, but in terms of blood qi and physical strength, he was still slightly inferior to the Overlord Ancestor.

The two of them suddenly landed on the ground. This was a vast land, and their collision once again caused the earth to collapse. Lava erupted from the ground and soared into the sky.

Almost in an instant, Jiang Changsheng sensed the aura of living beings in the distance.

Wasn’t this a space filled with Dao intent?

Jiang Changsheng was even more interested in the Overlord Ancestor. He raised his spear with one hand and easily suppressed him.

The world continued to collapse and the two of them continued to move. No world could withstand their strength, and they only exchanged one blow before the world below them shattered.

As the world shattered, the Overlord Ancestor’s momentum was increasing. His figure was also constantly rising, increasing by ten thousand times every time.

Jiang Changsheng suddenly raised his left hand and executed the Thousand Extermination Palm. His palm pierced through the Overlord Ancestor’s chest without any blood splattering. This palm directly blasted a huge hole in the Overlord Ancestor’s chest that was tens of millions of feet tall, unable to be healed.

The Overlord Ancestor was sent flying, shattering space and crashing into a dark ocean.

Jiang Changsheng stood on the surface of the ocean. The world was dim and thunderclouds surged. The storm wreaked havoc between the sky and the ocean. The incomparably huge Overlord Ancestor fell, stirring up waves that shook the sky.

“This is…”

Jiang Changsheng vaguely sensed that something was wrong with the ocean. He used his spiritual will to sweep over it, but he could not see the end of it. It was as if it was the boundless world.
