**Chapter 768: Xiao Dao, You're Alive Again!**

Xiao Dao is alive!

Damn, Xiao Dao has come back to life again?

How is this possible? Didn't Xiao Dao die? Why is he alive again?

And his aura... it's become so powerful!

This aura seems to have surpassed the limits of the peak Grotto-Void realm. This is... this is an aura only a Dao Comprehension realm expert can possess!

My goodness! Xiao Dao actually broke through to the Dao Comprehension realm!

This is absolutely impossible! Xiao Dao only entered the void a few months ago. How could he possibly break through to the Dao Comprehension realm? This is simply unheard of!

The void is a place of eternal damnation. Even an Immortal King, let alone a Dao Comprehension expert, would find it hard to escape their demise if they entered it. Xiao Dao was only in the Grotto-Void realm. Yet, he survived in the void and even successfully broke through to the Dao Comprehension realm. This is truly a miracle!

Everyone gasped in disbelief, as if they had seen a ghost, staring in shock at the young man standing atop the ruins, enveloped in a rich immortal light. They felt their worldview being completely overturned. Who would have thought that this kid not only survived but also, through this misfortune, gained a blessing and broke through to the Dao Comprehension realm?

More importantly, his breakthrough to the Dao Comprehension realm didn't cause any heavenly phenomena, nor did it bring down any heavenly tribulation. It was as if breaking through was as simple as drinking water or eating for him, merely a very small improvement in realm.

At this, everyone fell silent. The Demons, who were initially ready to scoff, were now so terrified they didn't dare to even breathe loudly. They were trembling with fear; that was the Dao Comprehension realm! In the entire Nine Heavens and Ten Lands, overtly, no Dao Comprehension expert had appeared for millions of years. Their Demon Race ancestor, the Demon Emperor, was only stuck at the Quasi-Immortal King realm and couldn't break through. Even in the entire Ancient Immortal Era, only one Immortal King ever appeared, the supreme expert who once ruled the world—Ye Qiu!

But what about Xiao Dao? He entered the Dao Comprehension realm at just over twenty years old! This is simply unbelievable!

At this point, the Demons were completely panicked. They exchanged glances, seeing expressions of terror in each other's eyes. Could it be that the Human Race is about to see another supreme expert rise? No, absolutely not! Such a person cannot be allowed to live. He must be nipped in the bud!

Just as the Demons were panicking internally, Xiao Dao had fully regained consciousness. He felt the surging, terrifying power within his body and was overjoyed. The Immortal King Tribulation, he actually endured it! And, he even successfully broke through to the Dao Comprehension realm! Although it was only his initial step into the Dao Comprehension realm, for him, this was already a joyous occasion of immense magnitude. Now, he truly possessed the power to protect himself.

Moreover, his successful breakthrough was not only because he had merged with the Heaven's Heart and gained infinite power, but more importantly, because he had received that mysterious heritage, as well as the Immortal Dao domain heritage he obtained from Ye Qiu. The two heritages merged and nourished each other, eventually forming a special Heaven and Earth domain within him—an Immortal Dao domain that belonged solely to him!

However, as he had only just entered the Dao Comprehension realm, he couldn't yet truly control this Immortal Dao domain. This left Xiao Dao with some regret, but he also understood that you have to take things one step at a time. His most important task now was to thoroughly comprehend the Great Dao and elevate his cultivation. After all, his current strength was still a long way from that of a true Great Dao expert. Merely being in the Dao Comprehension realm was not enough to truly control that Immortal Dao domain. Only when he could truly control that Immortal Dao domain someday might he genuinely possess the strength to fight an Immortal King.

Thinking of this, Xiao Dao's mood significantly brightened. He raised his head, his gaze calmly sweeping across his surroundings, meeting the eyes of the Demons. In Xiao Dao's eyes, they saw calmness, confidence, and a hint of mockery. This made them even more flustered.

"No, he cannot be allowed to leave here alive!""While he's still finding his footing, kill him now!"

A powerful Demon shouted in anger, about to make a move, but was stopped by an elder beside him. The elder looked at Xiao Dao and said in a deep voice, "Don't be rash! This child has now entered the Dao Comprehension realm; he is by no means comparable to an ordinary Dao Comprehension expert. The fact that he could survive the Immortal King Tribulation and even break through to the Dao Comprehension realm through that misfortune clearly indicates that this child's fortune has reached its peak. Such a person is difficult to kill. Moreover, his breakthrough caused no heavenly phenomena, which indicates that he did not break through to an ordinary Dao Comprehension realm. Instead, he obtained some unknown heritage, which allowed him to bypass the restrictions of heaven and earth and forcibly break through. Such a person is very dangerous! We cannot easily provoke him."

The elder said in a deep voice. He had calmed down from his previous panic and realized the gravity of the situation. Xiao Dao's breakthrough to the Dao Comprehension realm was already beyond their capability to handle. "This matter must be reported to the ancestor. Only if the ancestor makes a move can he be nipped in the bud!"

Everyone fell silent; they also knew the elder was right. Xiao Dao's current strength had far exceeded their imagination. They were simply unable to kill him. They could only let him be.

Xiao Dao wouldn't give them a chance to think. He had fully awakened and, feeling the surging, terrifying power within him, he wanted to unleash it. Moreover, he had seen murderous intent in the eyes of the Demons. Since that was the case, he wouldn't hold back.

Xiao Dao's eyes turned cold, and a terrifying aura erupted from his body, directly sending the Demons flying. He took a step, instantly appearing before the powerful Demon, and threw a punch. That powerful Demon had no time to react before he was blasted apart by Xiao Dao's punch, turning into a cloud of blood mist that dissipated into the heavens and earth.

This scene stunned everyone. They hadn't expected Xiao Dao to be so decisive, killing without hesitation. Moreover, the power of this single punch also exceeded their imagination. With just one punch, he killed a Grotto-Void realm expert! Such strength was simply unheard of!

The elder's face changed dramatically. He hadn't expected Xiao Dao to be so forceful, killing without hesitation, giving them no chance at all. He looked at Xiao Dao, his eyes filled with apprehension.

Xiao Dao wouldn't give them a chance to think. He took a step, instantly appearing before another powerful Demon, and threw another punch. That powerful Demon also had no time to react before he was blasted apart by Xiao Dao's punch, turning into a cloud of blood mist that dissipated into the heavens and earth.

Xiao Dao killed two powerful Demons in a row before stopping. His gaze calmly swept across his surroundings, and he said indifferently, "Who else wishes to die?"

Arrogant, too arrogant! Everyone was stunned by Xiao Dao's arrogance. However, they dared not refute him, because Xiao Dao had the strength to back up his arrogance. A young man who had just broken through to the Dao Comprehension realm could kill a Grotto-Void realm expert with a single punch. Such strength was enough to make everyone wary.

No one dared to say anything more. The Demons trembled even more with fear, terrified that Xiao Dao would attack them again. Xiao Dao's eyes were calm. He knew that these people had lost their will to fight. He didn't continue his attack. He merely wanted to intimidate these Demons, to let them know that the Human Race was not easily bullied. Moreover, his current strength was not yet fully stable, making it unsuitable for continued fighting. He needed to find a place to thoroughly comprehend the Great Dao and completely stabilize his cultivation. Thinking of this, Xiao Dao turned, preparing to leave.

However, just then, a terrifying demonic energy descended from the sky, directly engulfing Xiao Dao. Xiao Dao's face changed dramatically. He hadn't expected anyone else to dare attack him. He suddenly looked up and saw an elder in a black robe descending from the sky, holding a staff. The elder's face was ancient, but his eyes were incredibly sharp, exuding terrifying demonic energy. He was the Demon Race ancestor, the Demon Emperor!

The Demon Emperor looked at Xiao Dao, his eyes filled with greed, and said in a deep voice, "Kid, I didn't expect you to still be alive. And you even broke through to the Dao Comprehension realm. You truly surprise this Emperor."

Xiao Dao's eyes were icy. He knew that the Demon Emperor harbored murderous intent towards him. Moreover, the Demon Emperor had even sensed the existence of the Immortal Dao domain within him. Such an old monster, having lived for countless years, possessed sharp discernment. It was only reasonable for him to sense the presence of the Immortal Dao domain. Xiao Dao dared not be careless. Although his current strength had broken through to the Dao Comprehension realm, there was still a significant gap between him and a Quasi-Immortal King expert like the Demon Emperor. The only thing he could rely on was the Immortal Dao domain within his body. However, he couldn't yet fully control the Immortal Dao domain, which made him feel anxious.

The Demon Emperor looked at Xiao Dao, his eyes filled with triumph, and said in a deep voice, "Kid, this Emperor knows you harbor a secret. Your ability to break through to the Dao Comprehension realm must be due to some unknown heritage. Hand over your secrets, and this Emperor can spare your life!"

Xiao Dao's eyes were icy. He knew the Demon Emperor wouldn't let him go. Handing over his secrets was merely the Demon Emperor's way of trying to obtain the heritage within him. Once he obtained it, the Demon Emperor would undoubtedly kill him without hesitation. Xiao Dao had seen too much of this kind of thing. He wouldn't fall for it.

Xiao Dao's eyes were calm, and he said indifferently, "Demon Emperor, you can forget about it!"

The Demon Emperor's face darkened, his eyes filled with murderous intent, and he said coldly, "Since that is the case, then don't blame this Emperor for not holding back." He raised his hand and struck out with his palm. Terrifying demonic energy instantly condensed into a massive palm, striking towards Xiao Dao. This palm strike contained terrifying power, enough to flatten a mountain.

Xiao Dao's face changed dramatically. He hadn't expected the Demon Emperor to be so decisive, attacking without hesitation, giving him no chance at all. He dared not be careless. The Immortal Dao domain within his body instantly erupted, enveloping him.

Boom!

With a loud boom, Xiao Dao was sent flying by the Demon Emperor's palm, crashing heavily to the ground, spitting blood. His face was pale, and his eyes were filled with shock. A Quasi-Immortal King expert was actually this terrifying! Just one palm strike severely wounded him! Such strength truly made him despair.

The Demon Emperor looked at Xiao Dao, his eyes filled with triumph, and said in a deep voice, "Kid, do you know how powerful this Emperor is now? Hand over your secrets, and this Emperor can give you a swift end."

Xiao Dao wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes icy, and said indifferently, "Demon Emperor, you can forget about it!"

The Demon Emperor's face darkened, his eyes filled with murderous intent, and he said coldly, "Since that is the case, then this Emperor will personally search your soul!" He took a step, instantly appearing before Xiao Dao, extended his hand, and reached for Xiao Dao's forehead.

Xiao Dao's face changed dramatically. He knew the Demon Emperor wanted to search his soul. Once his soul was searched, all his secrets would be revealed to the Demon Emperor. For him, this was worse than death! Xiao Dao's eyes filled with determination. He knew he couldn't surrender without a fight. He had to fight for his life!

Just as the Demon Emperor's palm was about to touch Xiao Dao's forehead, a terrifying sword energy descended from the sky, directly severing the Demon Emperor's palm. The Demon Emperor's face changed dramatically. He hadn't expected anyone else to dare attack him. He suddenly looked up and saw a young man in a white robe descending from the sky, holding a long sword. The young man's face was handsome, his eyes sharp, exuding terrifying sword intent. He was Ye Qiu!

Ye Qiu looked at the Demon Emperor, his eyes filled with murderous intent, and said coldly, "Demon Emperor, you dare to touch my people? You seek death!"

The Demon Emperor's face changed dramatically. He hadn't expected Ye Qiu to appear here. He looked at Ye Qiu, his eyes filled with apprehension. Ye Qiu's strength was unfathomable. Although he was only in the Quasi-Immortal King realm, he could fight an Immortal King. He had even once slain an Immortal King! The Demon Emperor simply dared not provoke such a person.

The Demon Emperor looked at Ye Qiu, his eyes filled with unwillingness, and said in a deep voice, "Ye Qiu, do you truly wish to be my enemy?"

Ye Qiu's eyes were icy, and he said indifferently, "What if I do?"

The Demon Emperor's face darkened, his eyes filled with murderous intent, and he said coldly, "Since that is the case, then this Emperor will play with you!" He suddenly raised his hand and struck out with his palm. Terrifying demonic energy instantly condensed into a massive palm, striking towards Ye Qiu.

Ye Qiu's eyes were calm. He didn't dodge but directly met the attack, striking out with his sword. Terrifying sword energy instantly severed the Demon Emperor's palm. The Demon Emperor's face changed dramatically. He hadn't expected Ye Qiu to be so powerful, able to sever his palm with a single sword strike. Such strength truly made him despair.

Ye Qiu didn't stop. He took a step, instantly appearing before the Demon Emperor, and struck out with his sword. The Demon Emperor's face changed dramatically. He dared not be careless, quickly retreated, and at the same time, summoned a magical artifact to block Ye Qiu's attack. However, Ye Qiu's sword energy was unstoppable, directly severing the magical artifact, and then, with undiminished momentum, it struck towards the Demon Emperor. The Demon Emperor's face changed dramatically. He knew he was no match for Ye Qiu. He dared not be careless, immediately cast a secret technique, transformed into a streak of blood-red light, and fled into the distance.

Ye Qiu didn't pursue. He knew that if the Demon Emperor wanted to escape, he couldn't stop him. Moreover, his goal was merely to save Xiao Dao.

Ye Qiu turned, came before Xiao Dao, knelt down, and handed a medicinal pill to Xiao Dao, saying in a deep voice, "Xiao Dao, are you alright?"

Xiao Dao took the medicinal pill and swallowed it. His complexion then improved. He looked at Ye Qiu, his eyes filled with gratitude, and said in a deep voice, "Master, thank you!"

Ye Qiu waved his hand and said indifferently, "Between master and disciple, there's no need for thanks."

Xiao Dao nodded. He knew Ye Qiu treated him very well. His achievements today were entirely due to Ye Qiu's nurturing.

Ye Qiu looked at Xiao Dao, his eyes filled with satisfaction, and said in a deep voice, "Xiao Dao, you have now broken through to the Dao Comprehension realm and your strength has greatly increased. I, your master, am very pleased. However, you have just broken through, and your realm is unstable. You need to find a place to properly stabilize your cultivation."

Xiao Dao nodded. He knew Ye Qiu was right. His most important task now was to stabilize his cultivation.

Ye Qiu took Xiao Dao to a secluded valley. Here, Xiao Dao began his seclusion to stabilize his cultivation. Ye Qiu, meanwhile, stood guard outside the valley for Xiao Dao.

A month quickly went by. Xiao Dao finally emerged from seclusion. His aura had become even more powerful and more restrained. Clearly, he had completely stabilized his cultivation.

Xiao Dao looked at Ye Qiu, his eyes filled with gratitude, and said in a deep voice, "Master, I succeeded!"

Ye Qiu nodded, his eyes filled with satisfaction, and said in a deep voice, "Well done, Xiao Dao, you truly didn't disappoint your master."

Xiao Dao scratched his head and said somewhat shyly, "Master, it's all thanks to you."

Ye Qiu waved his hand and said indifferently, "Between master and disciple, there's no need for thanks."

"Oh, by the way, Master, what about the Demon Emperor?" Xiao Dao suddenly remembered something and quickly asked.

Ye Qiu's eyes turned cold, and he said in a deep voice, "The Demon Emperor has already been slain by your master."

Xiao Dao's face changed dramatically. He hadn't expected Ye Qiu to be so powerful, capable of slaying a Quasi-Immortal King expert like the Demon Emperor. Such strength truly astonished him. Xiao Dao's eyes were filled with adoration. He knew that he still had a long way to go to reach his master's realm. He had to cultivate diligently and strive to reach his master's realm as soon as possible.

Ye Qiu looked at Xiao Dao, his eyes filled with satisfaction, and said in a deep voice, "Xiao Dao, you must cultivate diligently and strive to break through to the Immortal King realm soon, so you can fight alongside your master!"

Xiao Dao nodded, his eyes filled with determination, and said in a deep voice, "Master, I will definitely work hard!"

Ye Qiu smiled with satisfaction. He knew Xiao Dao wouldn't disappoint him.

Ye Qiu took Xiao Dao and left the valley, continuing deeper into the forbidden zone. Along the way, they encountered many dangers, but all were easily resolved by Ye Qiu. With Ye Qiu by his side, Xiao Dao also learned many things, and his comprehension of the Great Dao became even deeper.

Finally, they arrived at the depths of the forbidden zone. Here, it was desolate, devoid of any vitality. However, it exuded a terrifying aura that made one's heart pound.

Ye Qiu looked ahead, his eyes filled with solemnity, and said in a deep voice, "Xiao Dao, this is the origin land of the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands, and also the place where the Immortal King fell in the Ancient Immortal Era."

Xiao Dao's face changed dramatically. He hadn't expected this place to be so important. He felt the terrifying aura around him, his heart filled with shock.

Ye Qiu continued, "This place contains the origin power of the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands. If one can refine it, one can break through to the Immortal King realm. However, this place is also full of dangers. A slight misstep could lead to eternal damnation."

Xiao Dao nodded. He knew Ye Qiu was right. He felt the terrifying aura around him, his heart filled with apprehension.

Ye Qiu looked at Xiao Dao, his eyes filled with expectation, and said in a deep voice, "Xiao Dao, your master hopes that you can break through to the Immortal King realm here, and fight alongside me to resist those dark creatures!"

Xiao Dao's eyes filled with determination, and he said in a deep voice, "Master, I will definitely work hard!"

Ye Qiu smiled with satisfaction. He knew Xiao Dao wouldn't disappoint him.

Ye Qiu took Xiao Dao and entered the depths of the forbidden zone. Here, a terrifying aura permeated, making one's heart pound. They searched for the origin power of the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands, and at the same time, they sought the fallen Immortal King's resting place, hoping to obtain the Immortal King's heritage.

Half a year quickly went by. Xiao Dao comprehended the Great Dao and elevated his cultivation here, his strength rapidly increasing. Finally, within half a year, Xiao Dao successfully broke through to the Quasi-Immortal King realm! Such a breakthrough speed was simply unheard of!

Ye Qiu looked at Xiao Dao, his eyes filled with satisfaction, and said in a deep voice, "Well done, Xiao Dao, you truly didn't disappoint your master."

Xiao Dao scratched his head and said somewhat shyly, "Master, it's all thanks to you."

Ye Qiu waved his hand and said indifferently, "Between master and disciple, there's no need for thanks. Next, you will remain here, thoroughly comprehend the Great Dao, and strive to break through to the Immortal King realm as soon as possible."

Xiao Dao nodded, his eyes filled with determination, and said in a deep voice, "Master, I will definitely work hard!"

Ye Qiu smiled with satisfaction. He knew Xiao Dao wouldn't disappoint him.

Ye Qiu left the depths of the forbidden zone. He needed to return to the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands to handle some matters. Xiao Dao, meanwhile, continued his seclusion in the depths of the forbidden zone, comprehending the Great Dao and elevating his cultivation.

Over a year quickly went by. Xiao Dao comprehended the Great Dao and elevated his cultivation here, his strength rapidly increasing. Finally, in over a year, Xiao Dao successfully broke through to the Immortal King realm! Such a breakthrough speed was simply unheard of!

Xiao Dao's breakthrough to the Immortal King realm triggered heavenly phenomena. Terrifying immortal light instantly enveloped the entire Nine Heavens and Ten Lands. Everyone was stunned by this sudden phenomenon. They didn't know what had happened. However, they could feel a terrifying power awakening. This power was enough to make all living beings tremble!

Everyone speculated whether an Immortal King expert had been resurrected, or had a new Immortal King been born? Just as everyone was speculating, a terrifying immortal light shot up from the depths of the forbidden zone, directly tearing through the sky and rushing into the depths of the universe. Everyone was stunned by this sudden phenomenon. They knew an Immortal King had been born! And this Immortal King was very likely Xiao Dao!

Everyone was stirred up. They hadn't expected Xiao Dao to actually break through to the Immortal King realm! Such talent was truly rare in all ages!

Xiao Dao's breakthrough to the Immortal King realm stirred up the entire Nine Heavens and Ten Lands. Everyone cheered and acclaimed him. Even Xiao Dao himself was almost stunned by the deafening cheers.
