Astonishing Wisdom Called for Astonishing Power

As shadows descended, Liu Muyu met with an unexpected accident, just as expected.

The survivors in the great hall could only observe a moment of silence for him. They truly had not expected Liu Muyu to be a spy from Baiyuan Sacred Land, much less that he genuinely did not know Ling Tianwei had just crushed two Nascent Soul Elders—and still dared provoke him.

But they had no mind to consider anything else now. The entire great hall seemed to have been sealed away by something.

From the moment Ling Tianwei dealt with those Evil Demons until now, neither the resentment nor the mist filling the air had faded. Instead, they had only grown denser.

The spiritual energy throughout the hall had been drained dry. If they remained here any longer, Ling Tianwei might be fine, but everyone else would die beneath this resentment and its many strange powers.

Ling Tianwei also noticed the problem. He continued using the Vengeful Curse to absorb the Resentment Force here.

It had to be said, the Evil Demons' methods were formidable. Even with Ling Tianwei doing this, the Resentment Force did not diminish in the slightest.

But Ling Tianwei understood why. This Resentment Force was connected to heaven and earth and would replenish itself endlessly. Unless the sealing method trapping them here was broken, it would never disappear.

There was another way, though: absorb all the Resentment Force between heaven and earth.

Ling Tianwei believed he could absorb it, but the others in the hall likely would not be able to hold on for long.

"Senior Brother Ling, how are we supposed to get out? I already looked everywhere just now. There is nothing but fog. This is still the great hall, but it feels as though its location has completely changed."

After struggling for a long time, a disciple finally stepped forward and clasped his hands in salute. A closer look would reveal that his hands were trembling faintly.

"I have my methods."

Ling Tianwei answered as he swept his gaze around the surroundings.

Upon hearing Ling Tianwei's words, that disciple and the others finally let out sighs of relief.

After reassuring them, Ling Tianwei sat down cross-legged and closed his eyes.

In truth, trapped here as he was, Ling Tianwei had considered doing some deciphering, searching for a way to break the formation and ultimately lead the survivors out.

But Ling Tianwei could feel his astonishing wisdom telling him that when faced with a problem like this, astonishing power had to be deployed. Who had the time to decipher anything?

Before that, however, Ling Tianwei needed to cultivate first.

When his anger had surged earlier and he activated the Vengeful Curse, Ling Tianwei had sensed a familiar feeling.

That feeling of enlightenment had returned. As for the reason why—

Ling Tianwei immediately settled himself, his consciousness returning to the moment he heard those two Evil Demons speak to him.

"Pseudo-Spirit Root."

Those Evil Demons had used those words to humiliate him. Ling Tianwei still remembered the fury he had felt then, and it was beneath that fury—

That Ling Tianwei had vaguely touched the threshold of another Dao Intent once more.

"Rage..."

While Ling Tianwei cultivated, the survivors around him found corners to rest and recuperate.

They did not understand why Ling Tianwei had suddenly entered a state of cultivation.

Yet now that they were trapped here, the only way to break the deadlock was to rely on Ling Tianwei.

Ling Tianwei, who could overpower two Nascent Soul Elders, was without question their absolute stabilizing pillar.

As for the Evil Demons Ling Tianwei had mentioned, along with Liu Muyu being a spy, they needed time to digest all of it.

"Elder Ling, what is my big brother doing? He still has the patience to cultivate at a time like this."

Ling Tianwei was the only one still observing. He stroked his ring as he asked.

After Ling Tianwei displayed his absolute suppression, Ling Tianwei's Dao Heart had practically shattered.

"If I am not mistaken, he should be comprehending Dao Intent."

Feeling the fluctuations of spiritual energy around Ling Tianwei, as well as the changes in his aura, Elder Ling spoke slowly.

Ling Tianwei was not the only one convinced now; Elder Ling was as well. He had lived for several thousand years at the Nascent Soul Stage, yet never had he experienced a day more shocking than this one.

Divine Abilities, Dao Intent, Foundation Establishment overpowering Nascent Soul—and now, comprehending Dao Intent after a battle.

With such talent, even tens of thousands of years ago, or in eras more ancient still, there were probably very few people like him.

At this moment, Ling Tianwei followed the rage from before, extending along it as he carefully comprehended it.

By this point, he seemed to be standing amid flames, a blaze within his heart burning without end.

It seemed to set emotions alight, ignoring everything as it pierced straight into people's hearts.

An emotion rose from the depths of Ling Tianwei's heart and, in an instant, transformed into waves of blazing fire.

As he immersed himself within it, the Dao Intent of rage was born.

Ling Tianwei did not know how much time had passed, from feeling that earlier fury to gradually calming down.

And upon reaching this point, the Dao Intent of rage took shape.

Ling Tianwei's fifth Dao Intent slowly emerged. There was no longer any knot in his heart, and all could be burned by the fire of rage within.

Ling Tianwei also felt the benefits granted by the Dao Intent of rage. He would no longer be driven by this emotion.

He could also kindle the rage in his heart. With rage's enhancement, Ling Tianwei's spiritual power and strength rose another level.

Moreover, rage could extend into heartfire. This flame could manifest outside the body; it did not burn physical objects, but the sensations of emotion.

As the Dao Intent erupted, Ling Tianwei slowly opened his eyes and let out a long breath. Faint flames flickered in his bright eyes before quickly fading away.

"Not bad. Five Dao Intents now."

Ling Tianwei savored the feeling carefully.

Now that he had comprehended Dao Intent and dealt with the Evil Demons, all that remained was escaping this predicament.

Ling Tianwei had already decided to use astonishing power directly and overturn the thing trapping them here completely.

"Vengeful Curse, Heavenly Absolute Yin Fiend..."

Ling Tianwei slowly rose into the air, looking down upon everything.

Driven by fission energy guidance, the Vengeful Curse connected heaven and earth, and Ling Tianwei's aura became heavy and profound.

That pressure immediately made the people in the hall tremble. Although Ling Tianwei had already used it several times, they still only wanted to say—

"Senior Brother Ling, please quickly withdraw your Divine Ability!"

But now they knew Ling Tianwei was trying to break this strange situation trapping them here, so naturally they could not say such a thing.

Without the slightest hesitation, Ling Tianwei unleashed all five Dao Intents.

Death, resentment, evil, slaughter, rage.

At this moment, Ling Tianwei was enhanced in every aspect. The power he unleashed was even stronger than when he had fought the two Nascent Soul Evil Demons earlier.

Rumble! The Resentment Force around them poured down in reverse, plunging directly into Ling Tianwei's body.

Under fission energy guidance, all kinds of spiritual power were replenished in an instant. Ling Tianwei once again unleashed the Divine Ability Prison Heaven, looking as though he intended to destroy everything before him completely.

Resentment Force enveloped Ling Tianwei's body. Distorted afterimages and all manner of secret arts triggered by Sacrificial Dao Immortality appeared around him.

The terrifying pressure instantly crushed most of those in the great hall.

"Prison Heaven, break for me."

Ling Tianwei gave a cold snort and pointed toward the air.

Heartfire blazed within him, and his rage surged.
