Killing Dao Fruit

Clang! Clang! Clang!...

The resounding heavenly music echoed through the clouds and reverberated in the hearts of every being in the three realms.

Even Heaven and Earth themselves rejoiced with glee.

Countless people, magicians, and all sentient beings who endured the dark era can't help but shed tears.

"We won, we won!"

"Father, do you see this from Heaven? Your descendants need no longer fear the harm of the Weird!"

"..."

The fall of the Killing Tree signifies the complete end of the era of Deceit Dao in this world!

From now on, there will be no new Weird, no demons running rampant every chaotic age, nor any massacres holding the "Killing Banquet"...

In an instant, the Yin Yang of Heaven and Earth have been rightly restored, a new day for the sun and moon.

However, Wang Yuan's heroic deed of saving the world this time earned no reward of "Heavenly Dao's Favor."

Unbeknownst to him, he was already standing at the pinnacle of this world.

His words could bestow blessings, bring calamities, rise nations, and perish countries; his fondness is favor, his disdain is heavenly abandonment!

He has also shouldered immense responsibility upon himself.

Should another outer intrusion like the Killing Tree appear, Wang Qianshan would be the first to confront it.

Wang Yuan turned through the massive crack, glancing towards the Chaos Sea outside.

Suddenly noticing on the tail of the Killing Tree, a root that extended infinitely into the depths of the Chaos Sea.

"Huh, this is...?"

At this instant, the Mixed Element Tao Fruit within him, having grown to the limit, became the first fully matured Dao Fruit in this world.

Then, amidst his extreme astonishment.

Pop!

The chaotic-colored Mixed Element Tao Fruit suddenly burst, then rooted, sprouted, and grew vigorously.

It grew into a Killing Tree that Wang Yuan is all too familiar with!!!

His pupils contracted intensely, heart shook greatly.

"A Killing Tree grew from the Mixed Element Tao Fruit?!

Is this my True Form of Great Dao?!"

The dragon slayer ultimately becomes the evil dragon.

This is even more terrifying than when seeing the resurrected West King Holy Mother.

Every leaf of the great tree bore mystical characters, infinite sounds of the Great Dao condensed into an enigmatic scripture:

"Great Yan's Number is fifty, but its use is forty-nine.

Divided into two to symbolize duality, hung one to symbolize three, counted by fours to symbolize the four seasons, odd returned to symbolize the leap, two-five years then leap again, thus counted then hung...''

Everything is balanced; assuming the balance data of all things is fifty, truly in effect only forty-nine, it is this imperfection that gives rise to growth and change.

With Yin Yang, opposition, time, before and after, above and below...

And the one number not acting is the "One that Escapes."

However, this "One" can have a decisive impact on the changes of all things.

If a cultivator could grasp this "One that Escapes" from the running trajectory of the other forty-nine numbers.

They could transcend all things and achieve the supreme!

Without needing to think deeply, Wang Yuan completely understood the scripture's meaning.

As it inherently belongs to him, the "Heaven and Earth Anomaly," the "Person Outside of Fate."

Also exclusively belonging to the "True Form of Great Dao," transcending power above one land and realm!

This new Killing Tree, in fact, symbolizes the essence of his Daoist Skill as the Great Dao Tree.

Wang Yuan has a premonition that relying on this Great Dao Tree, no matter which outer world, whose rules differ completely from his home world, he might venture to in the future.

He can perfectly adapt to the rules there, wielding power only under the other's Great Dao.

Of course, the precondition is collecting sufficient knowledge and information.

The Great Dao Tree then leaps from Wang Yuan's head.

Countless roots and branches piercing through the void, covering the four poles, rooting in the Cycle Star Mansion, hanging downward, becoming the new rules of this world.

Also replacing the source of all "Heavenly Spirit Qi", maintaining the foundation of Immortal Dao.

Part of the root burrows into the Killing Tree, rapidly digesting and breaking it down.

Wang Yuan vaguely comprehends that the original Killing Tree is unambiguously a branch growing from another Dao Fruit outside Heaven!

Only the tree across complements his own essential vitality, though its size is vastly larger.

Enough to pierce the vast Chaos Sea and invade other worlds.

"So the place this root connects to is... a world beyond Heaven!"

Wang Yuan's heart shifts.

As the Great Dao Tree absorbs the remnants of the Killing Tree, converting it into his own strength.

The scenes opposite the root also enter his consciousness.

The sun suspended in the sky is indescribably bizarre, bearing five senses and limbs, its crude lines resembling a child's doodle.

The moon with a curved goatee, donned semi-moon spectacles, playing games with the bouncing stars...

It seems like a world from a fairy tale.

Suddenly, within the depths of the opposite world, a grand consciousness seems to sense Wang Yuan's world, slowly awakening from eternal slumber.

The utterly different rules of the two worlds made it difficult for Wang Yuan to understand the counterpart's appearance.

Though he then understood why the heavenly officials hanging on the Killing Tree were each an eccentric design.

He could only infer from the side that the counterpart isn't round, isn't square, isn't alive, isn't dead...

It truly is indescribable.

Accompanied by solemn chanting:

"Holy, holy!

He knows where the door is, he is the door, the key to the door, the doorkeeper.

The past is him, the present is him, the future is also him, for everything resides in him.

All things return to one, one gives birth to all things!"

Countless multi-colored gelatinous spheres morphing before Wang Yuan, forming a vague, crown-wearing human-shaped silhouette.

Seated on a throne backed by a towering tree.

Countless doors opening and closing behind him, seemingly housing worlds fluctuating behind them.

There is no good, nor evil; only "Heaven is unkind, treating all things like straw dogs" describes him.

Wang Yuan still couldn't discern the figure's gender, age, but could clearly feel the breathtaking beauty akin to the Great Dao itself!

Moreover, a strange familiarity engenders an intimacy, preventing an immediate severance of the connection.

The divine existence similarly extends great goodwill to Wang Yuan, displaying a sunny and warm smile:

"In the now thoroughly yours Yanfu World, Dao scripture states: blending Heaven and Earth chaos becomes simplicity, uncreated then formed, called Taiyi.

If you need to give me a name, call me... Emperor Taiyi."

"All things maintain a state of rest or uniform linear motion unless acted upon by external forces.

The endeavor of things themselves cannot change their predetermined fate.

Yet, for a world with people like us, it's not the same.

Your efforts freed the Yanfu World, existing like fertilizer, from its destiny. You've given my extensive tree-planting, fruit-picking journey another splendid surprise.

Hello, my fellow Daoist, the 'One that Escapes!'

Or, should I say, my... fellow countryman!

Are you ready to enter higher dimensions with us, join the ranks of the "Great Heavenly Venerable," and commence the next journey across myriad worlds and heavens?"

....

End with flowers!
