Stealing the Heavens.

Chapter 131 Fusion of Divine Power
Immortal Venerable Wuwei ordered all cultivators of Donglai Pavilion to integrate with the Righteous Qi, and most of them were assigned to Zi Dong's command.

He led the remaining cultivators to guard the Donglai Pavilion, waiting for the golden light to envelop the entire earth before heading to the Donglai Immortal Palace.

The three palace masters of Jixuan Palace could no longer sit still. After the golden light enveloped Zhongtian Peak, it continued to spread rapidly to the north, south and west, showing no signs of stopping.

All the forces on the auspicious cloud rushed to the Wuji Immortal Palace, requesting Palace Master Jixuan to find a way to stop the golden light from spreading.

"Immediately bring those old guys out of seclusion, especially those from the Daoist sect. We must stop the golden light from spreading further!"

The old master of Jixuan Palace had a face so gloomy it could bring a downpour. Once the golden light enveloped the entire earth, they would be completely defeated by Donglai Pavilion.

Every power in the Central Continent has Supreme Realm peak cultivators with long lifespans who spend years in seclusion seeking ways to break through to the Dao Realm.

Although these old fellows did not live in the same era as the Eastern Dao Ancestor, they all had some understanding of the righteous spirit.

Because these old guys' fathers or masters lived before the disappearance of the Eastern Dao Ancestor and had come into contact with the righteous energy.

After the Eastern Dao Ancestor comprehended the Righteous Qi, the three great gods of demons, monsters, and witches immediately began to study how to break the curse.

Before their great battle with the Eastern Dao Ancestor, the three great gods, though unable to find a true way to break the righteous energy, still left some results for the three major forces, which were then in the hands of those old guys.

At the order of Palace Master Jixuan, the old guys who had been in seclusion had no choice but to come out and work. Although they were not afraid of Palace Master Jixuan, their descendants still had to rely on her.

Upon learning that righteous energy had reappeared in the Central Continent, the old men's reluctance vanished immediately.

Because studying the Righteous Qi can help them break through to the Dao Realm, which is a power that completely crushes the three great gods of demons, monsters, and witches.

The method left by the three great gods of demons, monsters, and witches to break through the righteous energy is not complicated.

It involves fusing the true energy of the demon, witch, and sorcerer races with that of Taoist cultivators to directly confront the righteous energy.

On the Tianyun Continent, there are countless cultivation techniques, but they can be broadly categorized into four types: Daoist, Demon, and Witch.

The Righteous Qi is said to be the purest power on the Tianyun Continent, and even the Qi of Heaven and Earth must give way to it.

The three gods had a simple idea: to combine the four most powerful forces on the Heavenly Fortune Continent and fight them head-on.

However, it is not easy to integrate the true energy of the four races, especially the true energy of Taoist cultivators.

After extensive research on the three major nerves, it was finally decided to focus on the true energy of the demon race.

Because the demon race's true energy possesses a powerful devouring attribute, it can be fused with the other three types of true energy if properly controlled.

Before the three gods could complete their fusion, the Eastern Dao Ancestor came knocking on their door and took them away.

The cultivators of the demon, monster, and witch races all speculated that the three gods' method was feasible, otherwise the Eastern Dao Ancestor would not have made a move so easily.

However, the Dao Ancestor of the East has disappeared, and there is no longer any righteous energy on the Tianyun Continent, so the cultivators of the demon, monster, and witch races cannot test it.

Zi Dong's appearance finally brought an opportunity, and the old guys from the major forces in the Central Continent emerged from seclusion, determined to break the righteous energy.

The supreme elders of various forces gathered around Zhongtian Peak, with the demon supreme elders of Wuji Immortal Palace as the main force.

With the assistance of the demon elders from other factions, they combined the true energy of the demon, witch, and Taoist elders while testing their resistance to the golden light.

This caused great trouble for the elders of the demon race, the witch race, and the Taoist sect, because the elders of the demon race merged by devouring.

Most of the true energy of the demon race, the witch race, and the Taoist elders was devoured, with only a small portion merging into the final power.

Therefore, they need to constantly provide a large amount of true energy, and their cultivation speed cannot keep up at all, making them all extremely nervous.

For these old guys, true qi is their lifeblood. Once they lose more than half of their true qi, they will quickly pass away if they don't replenish it in time.

As expected, the Demon Grand Elder of the Wuji Immortal Palace successfully merged the powers just when everyone was about to give up. The three gods called this fused power "divine power," and although they themselves failed to merge, they had the right to name it.

"The purple aura from the east! The fusion power they've created is incredibly strong, and the righteous energy is being consumed too quickly!" Zi Dong shouted in his divine sense.

[Activate the Righteous Qi Array to activate all nodes in the Central Continent, and this will completely suppress this bullshit divine power!]

Donglai Ziqi shouted disdainfully, "Back then, Donglai Daozu fought against the three great gods of demons, monsters, and witches all by himself. Their power was far greater than this fused power."

Although the three great gods of demons, monsters, and witches are only at the first level of the Dao Realm, they are far more powerful than those at the peak of the Supreme Realm, because they have been able to communicate with the Heavenly Dao.

Even without fusing the three powers, it's still far superior to the power these old guys hastily cobbled together.

While spreading golden light, Zi Dong was also continuously repairing the nodes of the Central Continent, especially around Zhongtian Peak.

Because the golden light has not yet covered the entire central continent, Zi Dong is unable to repair all the nodes, let alone activate them all.

However, the Heavenly Fortune Path Plate can be used flexibly to activate the nodes around Zhongtian Peak, thus forming a small array.

Although it is not as powerful as activating all nodes, integrating righteous energy into the formation is enough to deal with these fused forces.

Moreover, when the Eastern Dao Ancestor set up the formation in the Central Continent, he used Zhongtian Peak as the core of the formation.

The nodes around Zhongtian Peak are very dense. Activating all of these nodes is not much weaker than activating all the nodes in the entire Central Continent.

Li Pang, the chief elder of Wuji Immortal Palace, served as the commander-in-chief of this operation because his cultivation level was second only to that of Palace Master Jixuan.

He commanded all the combined divine power, preparing to rush into the golden light, ascend to the summit of Zhongtian Peak, and kill Zi Dong in one fell swoop!

But just as Elder Li Pang was about to mobilize his divine power and lead everyone in, the golden light suddenly began to shrink.

"Stop!" Elder Li Pang shouted immediately. The golden light was somewhat strange, and they couldn't rush in.

The other elders would love to stop and study the situation from the outside, but they certainly didn't want to risk their lives.

The golden light contracted slowly, and often paused for a while, as if it were enticing them.

Elder Li Pang dared not go in any further, and instead had everyone gather around him to merge with more divine power.

Zi Dong was very happy, because he needed time to activate the nodes within the golden light and start the Righteous Qi Array.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and Elder Li Pang, who had absorbed some divine power, finally could no longer sit still.

He stroked his long, gray beard, observing the stabilizing golden light, sensing a powerful force gathering within him.

"Not good!" Elder Li Pang suddenly realized something and stood up abruptly, shouting.

"Master, what's wrong?!" Elder Mo Cheng quickly stepped forward to ask, as he was in charge of commanding the army of cultivators.

"Zi Dong has the Heavenly Fortune Dao Plate of the Dao Ancestor of the East. He is setting up an array. We must rush in immediately!"

Elder Li Pang already knew all this, and Zhongtian Peak was the key point of the formation, but he didn't believe that Zi Dong could set up the formation so quickly.

"Master, the golden light hasn't fully enveloped the central continent yet, and at least half of the nodes cannot be repaired or activated. How can we set up an array?!"

Elder Mo Cheng was somewhat skeptical, and the other Supreme Elders also expressed doubts, given that Zi Dong's cultivation level was too low.

"Zi Dong has an avatar of the Dao Ancestor of the East!" Elder Li Pang turned around and angrily rebuked.
