Furious Li Cangqiong He's Determined to Seize the Origin of the Supreme Dao

"By someone's request?!!!"

The Celestial Emperor of the Vast Heavens was almost boiling with rage, clutching his severed arm. Chen Taiqing's sword path contained the power of the Great Dao's origin. Injuries caused by this kind of Dao power were nearly impossible to recover from.

"Who sent you?"

Chen Taiqing gave a light laugh, then made a gesture for silence.

"Hmph, being deliberately mysterious. The one who can command you... This Emperor can naturally guess!" The Celestial Emperor of the Vast Heavens frowned tightly.

If that Jiang Che truly was the reincarnation of the Demon Ancestor, among the Dao-Integration level Celestial Dao practitioners, two were related to the Demon Ancestor. However, the existence of the Demon Ancestor was far too remote. The Demon Ancestor had already fallen before he himself was even born, and he could only learn about this once supremely powerful Demon Ancestor from fragments of tales passed down by predecessors.

That Dao-Integration Celestial Emperor who founded the Path of Evil Spirits, and that Upper Immortal of the Demon-Suppressing Pagoda—they both had once been disciples of the Demon Ancestor. But later, for unknown reasons, they both turned against the Demon Ancestor, even joining hands to slay the once-peerless Demon Ancestor, dividing his Great Dao origin between them.

The reason for the Demon Ancestor's past invincibility lay in his fusion of two different Great Dao origins: the Demonic Dao origin and the Evil Dao origin.

The Demonic Dao origin was taken by the Demon-Suppressing Upper Immortal, while the Evil Dao origin was taken by that Demon Emperor to a foreign realm to establish the Path of Evil Spirits.

Logically speaking, these two should harbor a blood feud with the Demon Ancestor. If the Demon Ancestor were reborn... they should have directly stepped in to crush him.

But why—

He couldn't figure it out!

"Chen Taiqing... I will remember this sword strike!"

Li Cangqiong's severed arm was still dripping blood. The Sword Dao origin was wildly destroying his immortal body. If he didn't leave now, it might even damage his own origin.

"Hehe... Now do you understand the gap between yourself and the Dao-Integration level?" Chen Taiqing slowly wiped his sword scabbard. He hadn't even drawn his sword, yet he had already severely wounded this lofty Celestial Emperor of the Vast Heavens.

Li Cangqiong's face instantly turned extremely ugly.

For tens of thousands of years since becoming a Celestial Emperor, he had never crossed hands with a supreme Celestial Emperor who had achieved Dao-Integration. But based on his own perception of the Great Dao, he didn't believe he was weaker than a Dao-Integrator.

As a Celestial Emperor, he had already reached the end of the path of the Supreme Dao. Even fusing with a Dao origin would at most be the icing on the cake.

But today's exchange with Chen Taiqing made him clearly recognize the gap!

At the same time! His desire for the Supreme Dao origin grew even more intense.

Before this, his goal in obtaining the Supreme Dao origin was simple... just immortality.

But now, he absolutely must obtain the Supreme Dao origin!!!

If he had truly achieved Dao-Integration today, the outcome against Chen Taiqing would have been entirely different.

"Upper Immortal Taiqing! This one... recognizes the gap!" The Celestial Emperor of the Vast Heavens gritted his teeth.

"Hey, hey, hey! So you're the Celestial Emperor of the Vast Heavens? Didn't you achieve Dao-Integration? From what you're saying... don't tell me you failed to integrate?" Suddenly, the Third Ancestor of the Jiang Family spoke up, cutting in directly.

"You insignificant insect!" Li Cangqiong glared at him, his killing intent soaring infinitely!

"Tsk, tsk, tsk. Seems that's correct. If you had truly fused with the Supreme Dao origin, you wouldn't be in such a sorry state, hehe." Third Ancestor Jiang Lan laughed with a particularly lewd grin. Now that he had backing... his whole demeanor had become bold.

Although he didn't know which deity was backing them, did that matter?

The other Jiang Family ancestors also became emboldened.

"Senior Vast Heavens, you're quite concerned with face, aren't you? Clearly, someone else fused with the Supreme Dao, yet you insist on claiming it was you? Have you no shame left in your old age?"

"But then again, it makes sense. After all, you've become a Celestial Emperor but haven't achieved Dao-Integration. If word got out that the Great Dao origin was fused by some unknown nobody, how embarrassing would that be?"

"It's like being impotent but visiting brothels every day to keep up appearances... sacrificing comfort for the sake of vanity!"

Chen Taiqing gave a speechless glance at this group of Jiang Family ancestors before him.

To be honest, backing people like this... was really lowering his standards, but there was no helping it.

"Li Cangqiong! You cannot touch this Jiang Family. If you value your life... it's best not to entertain any crooked ideas. With six true lives... how many times is that enough for you to die?" After saying this, Chen Taiqing turned and left.

Seeing their backer run off, the previously brazen Jiang Family ancestors wisely shut their mouths.

They behaved!

"You... just you wait, hmph!"

The Celestial Emperor of the Vast Heavens swept his gaze over the circle of Jiang Family immortals. Their words earlier had nearly broken his composure.

Furiously flicking his sleeve, he turned and left!

Only after the Celestial Emperor of the Vast Heavens had departed did Jiang Lan's expression turn grave.

"Third Ancestor! Who is secretly helping our Jiang Family? Could it be the Second Ancestor is still alive?" an immortal asked.

Jiang Lan's gaze gradually grew profound. "It should be Jiang Che."

"Jiang Che? That kid... how could it be him? At most, he's only at the Nirvana stage cultivation now..."

Jiang Lan shook his head. "The senior who came just now fused with the Sword Dao origin. His immortal name is Taiqing Sword Immortal, one of the original founders of the Destiny-Bearers Association. He achieved Dao-Integration a million years ago. The existence capable of instructing him... must at least be a powerhouse of the same level. Among the Nine Heavens... there are only a handful of Dao-Integration Celestial Emperors."

"Within the Destiny-Bearers Association, there is a Demonic Dao titan holding a position, serving at the Heavenly Pavilion in the Northwestern Dark Heaven—the Master of the Demonic Heaven Pavilion, immortal name Shangxie, honored title Demon-Suppressing Upper Immortal."

"And don't you all forget, Jiang Che is suspected to be the reincarnation of the Demon Ancestor!"

With these words, the Jiang Family members understood.

"Although I don't know the specifics... judging from this, Jiang Che's safety is at least guaranteed!" Jiang Lan let out a sigh of relief.

......

"Pfft—"

Upon returning to the Vast Heavens Celestial Palace, Li Cangqiong directly spat out a mouthful of immortal blood.

The terrifying Dao power on his severed arm had completely invaded his immortal body and even begun to ravage his Celestial Dao origin.

The Sword Dao, among the three thousand Great Daos, was an exceptionally powerful and peerless Dao, ranked within the top thirty.

What ranks above the Sword Dao? Things like Time and Space, Fate and Nothingness, Chaos and Samsara, Yin-Yang and the Five Elements...

"Damn it! This Supreme Dao origin... I am determined to seize it!"

The Celestial Emperor of the Vast Heavens was furious beyond measure. Being severely wounded by the Taiqing Sword Immortal was one thing, but even those insects from the Jiang Family dared to provoke him?

"Demon Ancestor... no matter how strong you were, weren't you still slain by your two disciples? The truly strong never reincarnate! How strong can you possibly be after being reborn through reincarnation?"

This Celestial Emperor seemed somewhat obsessed, as if only this could convince himself and dispel the fear of that peerless Demon Ancestor in his heart.

Right, if the Demon Ancestor was truly that strong, how could he have been defeated by those two? You must know... when the Demon Ancestor fell, his two disciples hadn't even achieved Dao-Integration yet!

Two Celestial Emperors who hadn't yet achieved Dao-Integration could kill the Demon Ancestor, so why couldn't he?

Moreover, this Demon Ancestor was a reincarnated body, whose current cultivation was merely at the Nirvana stage.
