Awakening, the Insatiably Greedy Yuan Tianzong!

Chapter 44: Awakening, the Insatiably Greedy Yuan Tianzong! The exotic land of incense ash had been expanding ever since its appearance.

Initially, it was only the size of a football field, but in an instant, it had grown to the area of two or three football fields, covered in a hazy gray.

At this moment, a crude giant sword formed from numerous blades swept across, its length spanning the entire exotic land of incense ash, stretching over a hundred meters and bringing all the humans and Evolved Beasts near it within its attack range.

Roar!!

A wolf with fiery fur roared, its demonic energy surging forth and forming a demonic energy wolf head as large as a house, which lunged at the giant sword.

There was no stalemate, no struggle.

The giant sword was unstoppable, crushing everything as it passed, obliterating the wolf.

Birds flapped their wings, soaring into the sky to evade, but it was too late. A fierce wind howled past, scattering countless feathers and blood, making Bone Da Da cry out in the distance, "What a shame, what a shame."

Evolved Beasts were all dismembered.

In the blink of an eye, the giant sword reached Changchunzi and the others, a pressure like a dark cloud pressing down on the city overwhelming them.

With extreme speed, they had lost their chance to retreat immediately like those from the Celestial Master Temple, leaving them with no choice but to face it directly!

"Combine our strength to resist!"

Wang Mingshou roared, true energy igniting into a phantom fire around his body. He poured all his effort into it, his technologically modified body rumbling as some unknown organ roared to life, his aura surging.

Changchunzi, Elder... Everyone responded. Their lives were at stake, and they dared not hesitate for a moment.

But just as they were about to use their trump cards, the lightning-fast giant sword suddenly accelerated again!

With a series of explosions, figures burst apart like Evolved Beasts, their bodies utterly destroyed.

Before the gasps of shock from the previous wave had even ended, a new round of cold breaths filled their lungs, their bodies and minds trembling.

The spectators watched in disbelief. That terrifying move wasn't even the Refiner's full strength? He could even accelerate at a critical moment, catching Wang Mingshou and the others off guard, annihilating them all and refining them in an instant!

Just how high were his stats?

Why was it that every time they thought they had reached the limit, they were wrong again? He was like an onion, with layers upon layers to peel back!

Everyone was filled with curiosity.

"He doesn't seem like a being from our era, far beyond the common level!"

"It's truly frustrating. Why is there such a monster in this era? It's annoying."

"He makes everyone else dim in comparison. 'Dao Heart Breaker'... what an apt title. I'm already remembering the feeling of planting sweet potatoes."

Puff puff puff!

The giant sword, which had swept away and annihilated the masters and powerful Evolved Beasts, dispersed. Countless blades rained down and embedded themselves around the exotic land of incense ash, forming a defensive line of swords.

"Anyone who dares to step in will die."

Leaving those words behind, Yuan Tianzong stepped into the exotic land of incense ash under the watchful eyes of everyone.

As he stepped into the exotic land of incense ash, Yuan Tianzong felt a sense of wonder.

The exotic land of incense ash before him was not an illusion, but genuine incense ash that had appeared out of nowhere, carrying a mysterious aura.

Its color was between grayish-green and moon white. Through his shoes, he could feel a slight warmth, as if the incense ash had just been burned and created.

How did it appear?

Yuan Tianzong was curious, but his hands were not idle. He reached out and grabbed a wisp of Divine Smoke of Entering the Dao.

The moment the divine smoke touched his palm, a strange sensation surged from the depths of his heart.

Immediately after, the divine smoke rapidly shot towards Yuan Tianzong's brow and drilled into it.

An invisible wave of energy swept outwards, stirring up the incense ash!

In the fierce wind, a spiritual light flickered on Yuan Tianzong's brow, his black hair billowing!

Sizzle! Sizzle!

Specks of lightning materialized out of thin air, swirling around Yuan Tianzong.

The Heavenly Master couldn't help but take a step forward, a desire appearing in his eyes, which flickered with lightning: "Awakening! His spirit is undergoing a transformation, he is awakening!"

Countless people around also erupted in clamor at this moment.

"This is spiritual awakening, sensing the true energy of heaven and earth!"

"His spirit resonates with lightning. According to the information passed down from unknown Taoist sources online, that is an extremely powerful form of the true energy of heaven and earth!"

"Damn it, he's already strong in cultivation, and now he's awakened the power of lightning. Sigh."

Yuan Tianzong could no longer pay attention to the external noise.

He was carefully comprehending what was contained within the Divine Smoke of Entering the Dao.

What was it that caused him to awaken?

What did awakening even mean?

Why did people need the Divine Smoke of Entering the Dao to achieve spiritual awakening?

These questions had long been planted in Yuan Tianzong's heart.

This question needs to be explored at this very moment!

The Divine Smoke of Entering the Dao was transforming Yuan Tianzong's spirit, elevating him, causing a qualitative Awakening.

But at the same time, it was also assaulting his spirit, forcing it into a blank state, making it difficult to think.

If it were anyone else, they would have surely fallen into a state of 'emptiness' at this moment, ignorant and unaware, passively accepting the transformation and advancement.

But Yuan Tianzong was not just anyone!

He was the most terrifying existence in the Dharma-ending era!

His physical body and spirit were both at the peak of the Dharma-ending era, creating a vast chasm between him and the second tier!

With a mere thought, the state of mind he had experienced when feeling nature in the wilderness surged forth: a gentle breeze crossing the mountain, and he himself became the mountain, majestic and unmoving!

Instantly, his scattered spirit reassembled, resisting the spiritual torrent formed by the Divine Smoke of Entering the Dao.

His thoughts became clear amidst the pain.

Within this perception, Yuan Tianzong grasped the mystery of the Awakening -- the gateway between heaven and earth had opened!

That's right, it was this feeling.

Before this, he had been an isolated individual, with no connection to heaven and earth. Refining the world's vital energy was merely absorbing a bit of impurity leaking from the cracks in the gateway.

Now, the gateway was open!

Heaven and earth had truly opened a sliver of the real world to him!

So this was the principle of spiritual Awakening!

The so-called Awakening might not be a transformation of one's own spirit, but rather the Divine Smoke of Entering the Dao imprinting a mark on the individual's spirit, granting them the qualification to push open the door and enter the next world.

If his physical body's shackles were a seal on a forbidden zone that absolutely disallowed entry.

Then the spiritual blockade was merely a clubhouse, a gateway, a house that disallowed entry. To enter, one needed a key, to obtain the qualification.

The Divine Smoke of Entering the Dao was this kind of thing, a medium.

"Divine Smoke of Entering the Dao..."

"Hahaha!"

Yuan Tianzong roared with laughter, understanding the function of the Divine Smoke of Entering the Dao.

"Extreme Yang Genesis Technique, Extreme Yang Void Technique!"

With a low shout, a powerful suction erupted from Yuan Tianzong's body. The Divine Smoke of Entering the Dao floating around, even from the other end of several football fields away, was forcibly drawn in.

Those who had held some expectations saw this scene, and their anxious hearts sank to the bottom of a lake.

"He's not even leaving us a mouthful of soup!"

"Insatiably greedy!"

"Can so much Divine Smoke of Entering the Dao be absorbed?"

"Let's see his spirit collapse!"

Xue Ding looked at his master.

"Master, can a lot of Divine Smoke of Entering the Dao be refined?"

The Heavenly Master nodded, in a state of shock: "Yes, but it requires a stable and powerful spirit... He's absorbing and refining too much, there will be great trouble!"

Xue Ding nodded and looked at the figure in the incense ash storm, like a demon god.

"He'll be fine."

"I can guarantee it."
