Daozi’s “Immortal Heavenly Dao Body” acted, releasing thousands of threads of power of the Laws from his fingertips. They spread out, pierced the vacuum, infiltrated into the myriad practitioners in the universe, and locked onto all pre-identified targets!

“If Daozi really was the ‘Ball Heavenly Dao’,” the Dark Sun speculated, it might actually strike a chord and then agree to cooperate with its plan.

But he was not.

Moreover, the opposing powerhouse’s trump card—that the Ninth Heavenly Dao was the turning point—had detonated at the wrong time!

Daozi was not the legitimate, procedurally inaugurated ruler of the Heavenly Dao; he was very clear about his own position.

On the surface, he indeed seemed like the ninth member to assume the ‘Heavenly Dao’ seat amongst the myriad practitioners across the universe. However, in truth, he wasn’t of the ninth term but occupied the 8.5 term—a difference of 0.5, which completely changed the significance.

The Dark Sun played its trump card, but it only managed to hit Daozi’s three of spades.

Thus, Daozi took the opportunity to employ the ‘Heavenly Dao Authority’ and deduced not information on ‘the ninth term of the Heavenly Dao’ but rather, the location of all ‘Immortal Material’ related to the presence before him, the Dark Sun.

Shielded by the Heavenly Mechanism, the Dark Sun opposite him failed to detect Daozi’s covert deductions.

To not act is to retreat; but if one acts, it must be with full force!

Daozi understood clearly in his heart that if he didn’t gather and deal with all of the ‘Immortal Material’ related to the Dark Sun in one fell swoop, it would seize the chance to escape. Then, locating it next time would not be so easy.

After deducing the position of all ‘Immortal Material,’ while moving against the Dark Sun, he also locked onto and forcibly seized all ‘Immortal Material’ scattered across the myriad practitioners in the universe!

Gather them together for a collective beating.

“Why!” the Dark Sun demanded.

A completely viable ‘Transcendence Method’ lay before it, one proven through experimentation.

Daozi remained expressionless—by this point, he had become stricken with facial paralysis, unable to voluntarily alter his facial expressions.

Daozi didn’t answer but focused on driving the Heavenly Dao Authority, hammering the ‘Dark Sun’ and all the ‘Immortal Material’ he had forcefully brought over to death.

The Dark Sun, observing Daozi’s cold and cruel demeanour, suddenly had an epiphany.

Unless…

[Does the other party think that two Transcendents are too many?]

After putting itself in the other’s shoes, the Dark Sun felt it had vaguely guessed the answer.

[After all, I have already explained the principles of my ‘Transcendence Method’ to the Ball Heavenly Dao, almost without reservation. And… I even provided the first half of the initial template of the ‘Stellar Destruction Virus’ to them as well.]

[With the capabilities of a Heavenly Dao, possessing half of the ‘Stellar Destruction Virus’ template and deducing the complete template isn’t impossible, just a waste of time at most.]

[And since the principles behind the ‘Transcendence Method’ have been understood, and the ‘Stellar Destruction Virus’ is in hand… then, as the present ‘Ball Heavenly Dao,’ indeed there is no need to share ‘Transcendence’ with another.]

[If one can transcend alone, why bring another, increasing the risk involved in transcendence? Transcendence is like crossing a log bridge—the fewer who attempt it, the easier it becomes.]

[If it were the old me… I might also make the same choice as the Ball Heavenly Dao, with a certain probability.]

[How marvellous—truly!]

Following this line of thought, the Dark Sun felt not dismay but a strange excitement.

Even while being ruthlessly hammered by ‘Daozi,’ its pleasure could not be concealed.

In fact…

Daozi stood before the ‘Dark Sun,’ which was incomplete.

As Song Shuhang had sensed before, the Dark Sun in front of him was related to the ‘ruler of the Netherworld’—although it possessed a large amount of ‘Immortal Material’, at its core, it was transformed from the ‘ruler of the Netherworld’!

The Dark Sun, the ‘Heavenly Dao Body’, to be precise, is a ‘primordial weapon,’ those granular iron sand-like ‘Immortal Materials.’

It is one of the rare Heavenly Daos whose main body managed to leave something behind in the main world after the collapse from the Heavenly Dao seat—this is also related to its real body.

Just as Song Shuhang once speculated, the Dark Sun’s main body was originally disparate. Therefore, even becoming immortal wouldn’t change its inherently fragmented nature.

Just like the Fat Ball Heavenly Dao, which is a ball of liquid metal, after becoming a Heavenly Dao, it would still not lose its elasticity and could flow like a liquid—although the Netherworld’s Fat Ball could pluck globs of liquid from its own body, the liquefied metal ball couldn’t do the same.

After the Dark Sun’s Heavenly Dao Body collapsed from the Heavenly Dao seat, it utilized countless ‘Transcendence Experiments’ and a variety of backup plans it had set up, and eventually, some ‘Immortal Material’ remained in the main world.

And when the experiments went awry, leading to the ‘collapse of the Heavenly Dao,’ the Heavenly Dao Dark Sun sent these ‘Immortal Materials’ into the Netherworld Realm.

Under the operation of the contingency plans it left behind, the ‘Immortal Material’ merged into its own ‘ruler of the Netherworld’ self, combining with the ruler of the Netherworld to turn into the present ‘Dark Sun.’

This ‘Dark Sun,’ after the transformation, lost the ‘ruler of the Netherworld’s’ authority, was repelled by the Netherworld Realm, and was forcibly merged.

—The Netherworld Dark Sun might be one of the most unfortunate among the rulers of the Netherworld.

Even its own will was interfered with and assimilated by its own ‘Heavenly Dao.’

The will of the ‘Dark Sun’s’ Heavenly Dao Body, despite collapsing, did not completely dissipate but instead flickered on and off.

Past Heavenly Daos who have ‘collapsed’, some have truly dissipated, merged by the ‘laws of the Heavenly Dao.’

Others, after going off the rails… though they collapsed, have never appeared in the ‘main world’ again.

But from various indirect evidence, it seems that a few of these ‘Heavenly Daos’ have not completely dissipated!

Such as the ‘Wielder of the Will White,’ who could converse with Song Shuhang across space and the distant future.

The ‘Dark Sun’s’ will of the Heavenly Dao is even more special; it intermittently interfered with the ‘Dark Sun,’ the manifestation transformed from the ‘Netherworld Ruler Body.’

For example, previously… its Heavenly Dao will clandestinely interfered with the Dark Sun, directing it to hand over the initial template for half of the ‘Stellar Destruction Virus’ to ‘Daozi.’

“How greedy you are, Heavenly Dao Fat Ball,” said the Dark Sun.

With ‘Immortal Material’ in possession, not even the Heavenly Dao could completely obliterate it.

Even if Daozi hammered it fiercely, at most, he could only weaken it.

Or, he could temporarily suppress it, much like how ‘Daoist Priest Virtue’ did in the past.

[Your greed… is truly wonderful.]

[The Ninth Heavenly Dao is a turning point, but that doesn’t mean the Ninth Heavenly Dao itself can become detached!]

[As long as you come into contact with the ‘Stellar Destruction Virus,’ even if you are just a bit curious about it and start to ponder over it, studying it—that will be enough.]

[Indeed, for those who transcend… just one is enough!]
