"My primordial spirit has reached the critical point, what I lack is the comprehension of Quasi-Emperor and a physical body. Comprehension is rare, requiring scriptures and further exploration of the mysteries of the human body; the simplest thing is a physical body."

Zhou Tong's gaze shifted, fixing on a low hill not far away. This was the Sacred Mountain of the Divine Domain, the place where the Divine Domain had accumulated the Power of Faith over millennia. If the Power of Faith here were fully revealed, it would likely be no less than Mount Sumeru.

"Since I can't quickly attain enlightenment, I'll forge my Golden Body in Karma Fire and create a Quasi-Emperor's body!" Zhou Tong thought of the secret method in the Shakyamuni scriptures.

Legend has it that when Shakyamuni attained enlightenment, he guided the karma of all his believers, transforming it into Karma Fire, which forged a Quasi-Emperor- emperor's body from it. Zhou Tong is now preparing to emulate this method, using Karma Fire to forge an invincible Quasi-Emperor's body.

Previously, when fusing the Divine Form Divine Form, the Karma Fire was merely an aid, one of the catalysts for the fusion, and could not be considered a proper method of forging a golden Golden Body with Karma Fire. But this time, Zhou Tong is prepared to use the proper method of forging a Golden Body with Karma Fire to refine a quasi -Quasi-Emperor's body.

He descended upon the low mountain and activated the secret techniques of the Divine Domain. Instantly, the entire Divine Domain trembled. At the same time, the low but majestic ancient mountain erupted with blazing light, engulfing Zhou Tong and making him shine like a supreme god descending to earth.

"Using the Divine Domain's methods to activate the Power of Faith, this Power of Faith will not harm people, but will instead become an aid!" Zhou Tong felt the Power of Faith surrounding him, but the Karma Fire he had expected did not appear.

This is because Zhou Tong uses the most orthodox Power of Faith method of the Divine Domain, so these powers will be at his disposal.

"But being used by me doesn't mean the user won't 'commit suicide'..." Zhou Tong took a deep breath, adjusted himself to the feeling of using the Power of Faith, and then slightly turned the hand seals.

Instantly, an overwhelming, vast expanse of mental energy rumbled across the low mountain. The sight was terrifying, sacred, and immense; it seemed as if the entire world was about to collapse!

"Use secret techniques to activate the Power of Faith and attack myself..." Zhou Tong thought to himself.

Although the Power of Faith in the Divine Domain is immense, it is "toxic," unlike the unyielding power of Amitabha Great Emperor. This kind of Power of Faith is the best fuel for Karma Fire.

"Boom!!"

In that instant, the entire Divine Domain seemed to be crushed and sank. It was a golden ocean, as brilliant as the Sun Emperor, with countless strands of spiritual power intertwined and transformed into an ocean of life.

"Ugh!!"

Blood trickled from Zhou Tong's mouth. The Power of Faith accumulated over countless years in the Divine Domain pressed down on him, a force akin to divine might, as if the entire world were bearing down on him, threatening to shatter his bones and flesh.

"The Power of Faith in the Divine Domain over the years is indeed terrifying. I haven't even activated all of its Power of Faith yet, but this power alone is enough to rival an ordinary Quasi-Emperor!" Zhou Tong was somewhat shocked. Under the pressure of this terrifying Power of Faith, his body was cracking and he could barely withstand it.

"But how can the path of cultivation be without taking some risks? Karma Fire, ignite!!" Zhou Tong did not hesitate at all, directly drawing upon the Power of Faith to transform into Karma Fire.

"Boom!!"

The overwhelming Power of Faith transformed into an extremely terrifying golden light, instantly igniting Zhou Tong's physical body.

In an instant, he transformed into a human-shaped torch, burning there, emitting terrifying light and heat, causing the Void the Great to surge violently.

Having cultivated to this level, especially through years of dedicated study of the "Immortal Sutra," Zhou Tong's physical body is now impervious to even spatial turbulence and Void the Great rifts. However, the Karma Fire transformed from the Power of Faith collected by the Divine Domain over countless years is the most terrifying thing.

Zhou Tong's blood boiled, and his entire body radiated boundless precious light. He silently circulated the "Immortal Sutra," enduring the pain of being Karma Fire, and used the power to fight against this extremely terrifying Karma Fire.

While he was circulating the "Immortal Sutra", his Wheel Sea, Dao Palace, Four Extremes, and Dragon Transformation Realms were all roaring, emitting rumbling Dao Sound all over his body.

But all of this was almost in vain. Faced with the Karma Fire that was almost comparable to the full divine power of Quasi-Emperor, Zhou Tong's resistance seemed so futile.

"Ah!!"

In the end, Zhou Tong couldn't help but howl. His body was set ablaze by Karma Fire, and as it burned, some of his flesh and blood dried up and even turned into charcoal.

Countless bones were exposed, burned to a metallic sheen, and then turned black.

This is a terrible thing.

This Karma Fire is peculiar; it is not the fire of the Great Dao, nor can it be extinguished. It originates from all living beings in heaven and earth, and is the thought of all living beings. This is not an ordinary fire, but one that carries judgment and the cruel suppression of all living beings in this world.

To fight against this fire is to fight against all living beings in this world.

"The Divine Domain Karma Fire carries extremely terrible sins and karma, far more terrifying than when I used Karma Fire to forge my Unique Divine Form! Moreover, this fire has too many impurities, and even carries the emotional power of everyone. It's a good opportunity to test the Six Desires Red Dust Heart Refining Method that I have mastered, and also to try to activate the Immortal Tear Green Gold Profound Meaning."

Zhou Tong understood that the Power of Faith in the Divine Domain inherently carried the sins of the Myriad Heavens and endless karma. This kind of Power of Faith was inherently poisonous, which is why it could be easily suppressed by Emperor Sha in the original work.

Now, the Karma Fire is even more powerful than other Karma Fire.

The process of forging Golden Body with Karma Fire is extremely difficult and dangerous. Even Shakyamuni himself had to survive this method of body tempering by the risk of his life.

Zhou Tong forcibly ignited the Karma Fire, and as a result, he immediately suffered such torment, about to be burned to dust.

The flames soared into the sky, but Zhou Tong slowly calmed down the "Immortal Sutra" and his own scriptures. He did not continue to use any scriptures or secret techniques to resist, but instead relied on his physical body, primordial spirit, faith, and mind to withstand the attack. At most, he would use his magic power to absorb Life Essence to recover.

The Karma Fire are the most terrifying tempering and the best baptism; if you persevere, there will be tremendous benefits.

All the sins of the world, when combined, become the Karma Fire. Zhou Tong's actions are tantamount to fighting against the beings here; the endless will he bears becomes his Karma Fire.

In particular, the emotions contained within it were so intense that they desperately wanted to corrupt Zhou Tong, completely pollute his Dao Heart, and cause his aspirations for the Dao to fall away.

In this struggle, Zhou Tong gained a deeper understanding of life, beliefs, and emotions—the beliefs, lives, and emotions of countless beings. These are all part of the Karma Fire; by using this fire to temper the body, one is also tempering the primordial spirit and the beliefs.

During this period, the method of refining the mind was also put into use. Using this mental power and the emotions in the Karma Fire as a guide, a mysterious halo gradually emerged in the depths of his mind. The light was like a sword of wisdom, which cut off all the ripples brought about by the emotions in the Karma Fire.
