Ye Xuan summoned the ancient Sea Dragon King of the Endless Sea, retrieving the Immaculate Duster, one of the Nine Great Immortal Treasures, now holding six in total. His other treasures resonated as he entered the dragon's body to dispel a corrupting Origin Power using the duster and his Taoist Body. Absorbing the power nearly advanced his cultivation to Great Success, drawing a devastating Heavenly Dao suppression that intensified relentlessly.

The fearsome power of the Heavenly Dao appeared to discover a release in that instant, flooding completely over Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan's body felt like it was ripping apart right then, with countless thunderbolts raging inside, intent on wiping him out!

Along with this chaos, the Red Lotus Karma Fire in Ye Xuan’s body seized the chance, igniting fiercely and swiftly engulfing every part of his form.

Boundless karma exploded outward, resembling a dam bursting open, sweeping everything in its path.

Ye Xuan pushed hard to activate the "Taichu Hongmeng Primordial Dao Technique," yet this abrupt crisis caught him completely unprepared.

Both the Heavenly Dao's assault and the Red Lotus Karma Fire's flare-up left him reeling somewhat.

Helplessly, Ye Xuan observed the Red Lotus Karma Fire dispersing across his body's various regions.

This was misfortune piling upon misfortune.

Salt in the wound!

Myriad ideas raced through Ye Xuan’s thoughts.

Searching for solutions.

As the Undying Night Emperor who endured through countless eras, what spectacle had Ye Xuan not witnessed? He had even faced Heavenly Dao punishment firsthand, so though this suppression hit suddenly, it failed to rattle his calm.

"Right now, the Heavenly Dao aims to shatter my Taoist Body, while the Red Lotus Karma Fire burns wildly. Yet the deadliest part of the Red Lotus Karma Fire stems from soul power, which my Emperor Soul can handle without fear..."

After quick analysis, Ye Xuan fixed his eyes on the Immaculate Duster.

The Taoist Body faced grave issues at present.

In normal circumstances, Ye Xuan would simply clench his teeth and bear it.

Such crises couldn't be dodged with schemes; endurance was the sole path.

Just like surviving Heavenly Tribulation.

Ye Xuan pondered deeper; tough as enduring proved, the core issue remained minor.

This chance could let him wield the Immaculate Duster to purge the accumulated impurities from the Taoist Body.

With that idea struck, Ye Xuan promptly sat cross-legged inside the Sea Dragon King’s belly, employing the Immaculate Duster to purify every inch of his body.

Yet fiercer Heavenly Dao suppression followed immediately.

Removing impurities from the Taoist Body would only make it grow stronger still.

And that strengthening was exactly why the Heavenly Dao targeted Ye Xuan.

Sensing the intensified Heavenly Dao pressure, Ye Xuan halted, thought briefly, then chose to seal his Physique, starting by locking away the Taoist Body’s power himself!

But this move was a desperate wager.

Should the Taoist Body seal itself and the Heavenly Dao suppression linger, Ye Xuan’s flesh would shatter instantly, as the Red Lotus Karma Fire scorched straight to his soul!

Terrifying beyond measure, it placed both body and soul on a razor's edge, where a single slip meant eternal doom.

Ye Xuan wasn't reckless; he had weighed this risk.

If self-sealing the body kept the Heavenly Dao suppression active, he would unleash just enough power to counter it.

After all, the Taoist Body’s might stood fully exposed already.

Previously, aiding the Emperor Immortal Sect’s three ancestors to extend their lives drew Heavenly Tribulation, and during the final ten strikes, heaven's will manifested to crush Ye Xuan, mainly because of his Taoist Body.

The current scenario echoed that one.

Except now, the Heavenly Dao’s suppression raged tens of thousands of times more potent!?

Ye Xuan’s faith rested not in his Invincible Emperor Soul, but squarely in his Taoist Body!

The Taoist Body could endure Heavenly Dao suppression unscathed.

For now, this suppression merely restrained him—or perhaps it was heaven's jealousy!

Thus, he resolved to test it.

Ye Xuan cautiously channeled Taichu Hongmeng Primordial Dao Power to seal the Taoist Body.

"It’s not going to work..."

The moment he started, Ye Xuan gave up.

Sealing even one-tenth only amplified the Heavenly Dao’s suppression, clearly bent on crushing him utterly.

Ye Xuan gradually opened his eyes, blood trickling from his seven orifices.

Each droplet brimmed with boundless might; dropped into the mortal realm, it would rank as a supreme treasure.

"Since evasion fails, I’ll battle you straight on."

Ye Xuan sneered coldly, his stare sharpening to icy sharpness.

He had clashed with heaven's will before.

Retreat was denied by the Heavenly Dao.

Then direct confrontation it would be!

Ye Xuan abandoned self-sealing the Taoist Body, fully unleashing the "Taichu Hongmeng Primordial Dao Technique" instead, pushing the Taoist Body’s power to its utmost limits.

At the same time, four Myriad Forms Bodies materialized, channeling their full strength into Ye Xuan.

The Immaculate Duster hovered nearby, instinctively purging the ‘impurities’ from Ye Xuan.

As for the Red Lotus Karma Fire, Ye Xuan now viewed it as a tool to refine the Taoist Body, ignoring it entirely to concentrate on resisting the Heavenly Dao’s suppression.

Unthinkable that the Heavenly Dao would fixate its suppression on a single individual.

Unheard of before.

Evidently, this clash wouldn't conclude quickly; the struggle dragged on.

Outside meanwhile, Qiankun Ancestor grew restless, suspecting the Sea Dragon King of deception!

The notion fueled his distrust, painting the Sea Dragon King as utterly untrustworthy.

Unable to wait longer, Qiankun Ancestor snapped.

"Hey, mudfish, why hasn’t my master come out yet?"

Qiankun Ancestor demanded icily.

Since Ye Xuan entered, the Sea Dragon King had gone quiet, monitoring the shifts in its own body and easing only after that horrifying odd force faded.

But abruptly, it detected a ferocious battle erupting inside.

Qiankun Ancestor’s shout snapped the Sea Dragon King alert; it unveiled its dragon eyes, vast like twin boundless universes, gazed upon Qiankun Ancestor, and replied steadily: "Emperor Ye faces some trouble, handling it inside me right now."

"How do you prove your words hold truth?"

Qiankun Ancestor refused to believe the Sea Dragon King.

The Sea Dragon King eyed Qiankun Ancestor, arching its brows faintly, and murmured: "This seat requires no faith from you."

As a True Dragon spanning endless years, few in the world earned its regard.

Though this elder was an ancient God Sealer, it dismissed him lightly.

A fight posed no real threat.

At the Sea Dragon King’s retort, Qiankun Ancestor blazed with rage, snarling: "I’ll count to three—spit out the master now, or I’ll slice this mudfish into three pieces!"

With those words, the receded seawater roared back from every direction!

The Sea Dragon King’s eyes flickered coldly with menace, declaring: "You may try."

Thus, these two colossal powers collided!

And in the Endless Sea, a relentless assault on the Yang Demon continued.

Ancient entities lurking in the Endless Sea stirred, all converging to subdue the Yang Demon.

While Sea Dragon King and Qiankun Ancestor teetered on battle, a faint power stealthily drew near.

Precisely then, the Nine Netherworld Phoenix by Ye Xuan suddenly snapped open its eyes.
