Xu Zimei was trapped in the Holy Ancestor's Sky Dome Beast Map, forced to slaughter countless summoned monsters. After breaking free, he confronted the Holy Ancestor, managing to cut his garment before being overpowered by a new, immense aura. The Holy Ancestor then revealed his ultimate creation: the One Hundred Million Sacred Rune Armor, forged over thirty million years to challenge the Heavenly Dao.

Although he didn't understand what the Hundred Million Daos realm truly entailed,

there was no doubt that the Holy Ancestor's set of Hundred Million Sacred Rune armor greatly enhanced his combat power.

And this armor wasn't just limited to clothing; it included a weapon as well.

It was a Holy Sword radiating with sacred light.

The blade burst with golden brilliance, its vast power seemingly filling every corner of the sword's edge.

The sword's form was that of a broad sword, sharp, sacred, and inviolable.

The hilt was engraved densely with sacred runes.

Every sacred rune could unleash immense power.

When the armor was worn by the Holy Ancestor, at the moment he picked up the Holy Sword, this was his most powerful state.

It was the fruit of his efforts after breaking through the Ten Million Great Dao over the past thirty million years.

His gaze was majestic.

The rich golden light seemed to solidify, almost dense to the point of being unable to disperse.

"Slash!"

The Holy Ancestor swung his sword down.

The beam of sword energy that pierced the heavens enveloped everything in front of him.

Xu Zimei slowly raised Tyrant Shadow, his powerful Blade Qi erupting as well.

"Rumble, rumble."

The clash between sword and blade was like the confrontation between a dominator and a sharp weapon.

Neither side's techniques gave the slightest inch, a pure contest of raw power.

As the Holy Ancestor swung his sword,

the sacred runes on his armor were activated.

It was as if the power was awakened, enhancing him further.

Sword after sword, the entire sky was filled with sword light enclosing Xu Zimei.

The Holy Ancestor's sword was indeed swift and strong.

But Xu Zimei remained unflustered; since his debut, he had always been accompanied by his blade.

In a confrontation of pure weapons, he had never lost to anyone.

Tyrant Shadow's Blade Qi was incredibly resilient.

The blade had a spirit, which was the greatest difference between Xu Zimei and the Holy Ancestor.

The Holy Ancestor's sword was driven by sacred runes.

The sword was merely an inanimate object used as a tool.

But Xu Zimei's blade had awakened its own spirit.

When Xu Zimei swung his blade, he didn't need to activate any sacred runes; the blade spirit would naturally assist him.

Maximizing the power of every slash.

And each slash was like a surging wave, stronger than the last.

Gradually, as the Holy Ancestor suppressed Xu Zimei, the two came to an even match.

Until finally, the Holy Ancestor felt overwhelmed, and he was in turn suppressed by Xu Zimei.

The power emanating from Xu Zimei after breaking through the Ten Million Great Dao caused the Holy Ancestor to be deeply shocked.

He was very curious about what kind of Dao Xu Zimei was cultivating.

The power within was both vast and deep, endlessly flowing, as if eternal and indestructible.

Everyone has their own Dao.

Even though Xu Zimei had never revealed his own Dao,

the Great Dao power he unleashed was terrifying to the Holy Ancestor.

"Boom..."

Another slash, and the Holy Ancestor's heart was in chaos.

The overwhelming power submerged him.

Xu Zimei's slash fell upon him, slicing downwards, splitting the Holy Ancestor in two.

This sudden turn of events shocked everyone present from the Holy Court.

In their eyes, the Holy Ancestor, who was almost invincible and omnipotent,

had been abruptly cleaved in two before them.

Although the Holy Ancestor was not yet dead, it affected their Daoist Hearts.

Could this battle truly be won?

After the Holy Ancestor was slain,

his bifurcated body regarded Xu Zimei simultaneously.

And at the same time spoke,

"Demon Lord, you are indeed remarkable. Although I do not know what kind of Dao you walk,

I would like you to experience my Dao this time."

"My Way of the Dual Saints."

The Holy Ancestor's voice sounded like two people speaking.

Emerging from both halves of his body.

The figures were both male and female, indistinguishable from one another.

...…

Long, long ago, the Holy Ancestor was always contemplating one thing.

What kind of Dao should he walk?

Many seemingly powerful Daos could not be pursued.

Because they would go against the will of the Heavenly Dao, which was absolutely forbidden.

But the Holy Ancestor was also unwilling to walk a lesser path.

Throughout the long years, he had seen the paths of many powerful individuals.

And witnessed countless others who had taken the wrong path.

Ultimately, he chose to reference the two people who left the deepest impression on him.

These two were the Primordial Era's Primordial God-King and the Middle Ages' Empress.

Both were Heaven Challengers, yet both failed in their Heaven Challenges.

This proved that their Daos could not influence the Heavenly Dao, so the Holy Ancestor could use them as references, or even imitate them if necessary.

Incorporating the Great Dao of both, refining it over a lifetime of Qiongqi's study.

Ultimately, the Holy Ancestor comprehended the Way of the Dual Saints.

In fact, his Way of the Dual Saints was also passed on to his disciple Huang Tian.

But the disciple only learned the surface.

The holy realization he achieved was merely an imagined and illusory saintliness.

While his Way of the Dual Saints was the true source.

He wanted the Demon Lord to experience it.

This power that belonged to him.

...…

When the Holy Ancestor's words fell, only to see immense power stirring around him.

The two bodies erupted with two different forces.

At this moment, the void twisted, time and space stood still, and even the heavens and earth were drawn in.

The Primordial God-King was the first dominator of the world after the Ancient Gods sought the Dao.

He proved his Dao and was invincible at the Divine Demon Well.

The cultivation method he practiced was called Nine Spirits.

He believed that all things in the world had their own spirits.

This spirit referred to both the soul, the corporeal body, and the heart.

As long as one mastered the spirits of all living beings, one could master everything.

After proposing this concept, the Primordial God-King continuously refined it.

The concept of spirits was not wrong.

The myriad of living beings all had spirits.

Thus, the Primordial God-King proved his Dao and was invincible, with no opponent able to stand against him.

But until he encountered the Heavenly Dao.

He discovered that the Heavenly Dao had no spirit.

It was a life form that couldn't be described with words.

It was birthed by the Nine Domains World.

If it truly had a spirit, then the Nine Domains World was its spirit.

The Primordial God-King's failure was lamentable.

And the Empress, that peerlessly graceful woman.

From the beginning of her cultivation, it was as if she possessed many alluring charms that attracted others.

This charm had nothing to do with beauty.

It was an innate allure that made others willing to serve her and desire to follow her, a charisma of a powerful individual.

Thus, the Empress never formed factions.

Yet countless individuals were willing to challenge heaven with her, willing to die for her.

The Dao she cultivated was called the Myriad of Living Beings.

It considered all living beings to be the root of the world's composition.

If the living beings suffered, the world suffered.

If the living beings thrived, the world thrived.

If the living beings desired destruction, the world would be destroyed.

This Dao was difficult to cultivate.

She understood the myriad of living beings amidst the mortal world.

Being both a part of the living beings and able to wield the power of all living beings.

In a sense, the path the Empress took wasn't wrong.

She gathered the power of all living beings.

But she forgot one thing.

Whether it was her or the living beings, they were all born because of the Nine Domains World.

Everything was merely a creation of the Nine Domains Immortal Venerable.
