A Clash Between Deity Transformation Experts! What It Means for Heaven and Earth to Lose Their Colors, for Sun and Moon to Go Dark
From the Border Town, one can see that three thumb-length bands of light in the distance dissipated, turning into three dark holes.
However, as Chen Dengming used telepathy to enter his clone at the Longevity Sect, he immediately felt an extremely powerful pressure filling his entire body, even shaking his mind that had just entered the clone.
He immediately felt short of breath, his heart pounded with fear, and his whole body seemed to go limp.
A feeling of weakness and despair spread through his body and mind, almost shattering the mental energy he had just poured in, making it difficult to gather.
But at this moment, he had already controlled his clone to enter the state of the Heavenly Heart Realm, where his heart was the heart of Heaven and his will was the Heaven's Will!
In an instant, my State of Mind settled down, and that feeling of weakness and despair subsided.
But all they saw was an unusually strong light emanating from outside the cave abode, illuminating everything inside and making every detail visible, as if the sun were exceptionally strong that day.
But the surrounding air seemed different, as if it had thinned out, and there was an eerie silence.
"No, it's not that the air is thinner, it's that the Spiritual Qi is thinner! What happened?"
Chen Dengming was astonished, as his clone was staying in cave abode on Longevity Peak with Fourth-Rank Spirit Vein.
However, the Spiritual Qi that is currently sensed is only comparable to the Spiritual Qi in the wild outside the Longevity Sect's Mountain Gate.
Unless all the Spiritual Qi of the Thirteen Peaks of Longevity is drained, how could such an absurd thing happen?
But who has the ability to drain the Spiritual Qi of the Thirteen Peaks of Longevity? Nascent Soul? Or...?
At this moment, his mind was focused on his clone as he carefully arrived outside the cave abode, feeling as if he were bathing in an ocean of light.
The entire world outside seemed to be dyed with a dazzling pale gold, radiating light that even seemed to penetrate the depths of one's soul, purifying the mind and thoughts, leaving them in a state of blankness.
Chen Dengming barely managed to open his eyes to try and see the scene in the sky, but under such intense and dazzling light, he found that he couldn't see anything at all.
When I opened my eyes, all I saw was a vast expanse of white.
It was as if the entire sky had become a sheet of light, losing its clouds and its original azure blue.
The earth below also appeared to be covered with layers of light.
The air seemed very humid, almost like fog, making it difficult to see the outlines of many things and buildings clearly.
Left with no other choice, Chen Dengming mobilized the little remaining Immortal Celestial Dao Power within his clone, activated his Heavenly Eye, and focused blue light in his eyes as he looked up at the Sky Dome once more.
The band of light that appeared in the sky earlier indicated that the anomaly was occurring somewhere in the sky.
But at that time, the Border Town was very far away, and from a distance, the band of light looked only about the size of a little finger.
But now that he was actually there, he realized that the band of light had covered a very large area, and at least for the time being, he had not found the boundary.
At this moment, under the influence of the Heavenly Eye.
When Chen Dengming looked with his "Heavenly Eye," he felt that the boundless light, which was filled with a pale golden hue, no longer seemed so dazzling.
In the far distance of the Sky Dome beyond the endless light, the Heavenly Eye vaguely saw two blurry figures emanating subtle light, silently hovering there, seemingly far apart. The light around them seemed to thicken into rings of light, with wisps of aurora dancing enchantingly around them.
That might not be light, but rather a terrifying power formed by the convergence of a vast amount of Spiritual Qi.
The moment Chen Dengming saw the two figures with his Heavenly Eye, his mind was shaken. He vaguely sensed a majestic and enormous figure, exuding an evil Evil Qi and filled with bloodshed and slaughter, that first entered his mind.
He felt an excruciating pain as if his body was about to split open; it was a warning from the mark on his soul.
He immediately withdrew his Heavenly Eye, not daring to observe too closely, while his heart was filled with intense ripples, and he almost lost his Heavenly Heart Realm.
Who are those two people?
Is it Nascent Soul or Spirit Transformation?
It should be the Spirit Transformation.
It is very likely Spirit Transformation.
He had clearly sensed the power at the Nascent Soul level during a brief encounter with the Nascent Soul shard of the Sha Star within the Ancient Human Immortal Palace.
Even though it was just a distraction, it still gave me a glimpse into the whole picture; it was absolutely impossible to feel such terror from that distance.
Was that the Mochao Kingdom Lord just now?
Who was the other Nascent Spirit Transformation who fought against the Mochao Kingdom Lord? Was it the Longevity First Ancestor?
What about the others?
Countless doubts flashed through Chen Dengming's mind like thunder and lightning, and he was about to use his Heavenly Eye to peek again.
Suddenly, at that moment, the light in the sky, which had appeared much softer under the observation of the Heavenly Eye, intensified again.
The intense light was so dazzling that it seemed to split the heavens and earth in two in an instant.
In Chen Dengming's eyes, the two blurry figures vanished without a trace.
Beams of light fell down, landing among some trees on Longevity Peak. It was as if a patch of green grass had been scorched by the blazing sun, and a grove of trees silently turned into a pile of charred ashes, which disintegrated and scattered.
Time seemed to freeze in that instant. Chen Dengming was suddenly filled with a deep sense of awe, awe for this terrifying and completely unknown power. His Heavenly Heart Realm could no longer be stabilized, and he instantly reverted to being Little Chen.
At this moment, the light at the point where the light from the distant Sky Dome was at its strongest seemed to have dimmed considerably.
As the figures of the two Spirit Transformation experts disappeared, the light dissipated, and the terrifying, oppressive pressure also vanished.
A vast expanse of black sky, resembling the night sky, gradually appeared there, eerily dark and devoid of stars, moon, or sun.
You can even vaguely see clouds moving eerily in the darkness behind the pitch-black night sky, and occasionally a wildly flashing arc of electricity can be seen streaking across the sky.
"So, the fight between these two just now depleted the Spiritual Qi of such a vast area of heaven and earth, truly causing the world to lose its color, and the sun, moon, and stars to disappear?"
Chen Dengming stared wide-eyed at all of this, and truly understood what it meant for 'the world to lose its color and the sun and moon to lose their light'.
At this moment, his clone had developed cracks due to the mental imprint and was gradually beginning to falter.
He looked up at the sky above him, which resembled the night Sky Dome.
The dazzling, vast light from before has vanished, leaving only the distant sky still bright, like a large black plate edged with gold; perhaps the sun is over there.
This is probably the process by which the small band of light we saw earlier suddenly turned into a small black hole.
Only then did a thunderous roar echo down from the sky, like a deep, rumbling thunderclap, causing the surrounding mountains to reverberate and crackle.
Based on the speed of sound in the air, Chen Dengming quickly estimated that the two Spirit Transformation experts were probably fighting at a high altitude, at least fifty kilometers above the ground.
It's easy to imagine how much of a commotion was caused by that brief exchange between the two.
If the noise were even slightly quieter, the sound waves wouldn't be able to travel so clearly downwards, and certainly wouldn't be audible to the human ear.
"In the world of my previous life, the air would begin to escape and enter space two hundred kilometers above the ground."
"If a powerhouse of this caliber hasn't fought in the air at a distance of over two hundred kilometers, is it possible that they wouldn't be able to fight in such an environment?"
Chen Dengming felt that today's events had brought him too much of a mental and emotional shock.
At this moment, as the mental imprint collapsed and the Immortal Celestial Dao Power dissipated, the clone rapidly disintegrated, and his mind began to wander into random thoughts.
But he knew that this Cultivation World was not like the world of his previous life. Because of the Spiritual Qi energy, the wind layer in the high sky, especially above the clouds, was extremely dangerous, as it was full of spiritual winds.
Above the Spiritual Qi Wind Layer, there is rumored to be a Spiritual Thunder Cloud Layer, a truly terrifying place where even Nascent Soul might not dare to venture deep into.
Those two Spirit Transformation were probably fighting at the edge of the spiritual thunder clouds, otherwise he wouldn't be able to see the strange darkness behind the clouds and the flashing arcs of lightning.
At this moment, the clone disintegrated, leaving only a head. Chen Dengming barely managed to gather his last bit of mental energy, darted out of the clone's head, and spread out in all directions of the Mountain Gate.
In an instant, he 'saw' a large number of disciples and deacons who had fallen into a coma Mountain Gate, and even many fellow disciples who had achieved the false core.
Clearly, the power emanating from the battle high in the sky and the pressure from the aftershocks had stunned everyone, including many who were at the false core stage.
His thoughts drifted towards the Longevity Hall Longevity Peak.
"Junior Brother Chen?"
Xing Huiguang's Divine Sense suddenly swept over and touched this wisp of his mind, clearly sensing his presence.
The former Longevity Dao Child is quite resilient and seems to be unharmed.
"Senior Brother Xing"
Chen Dengming was about to ask what had happened, how the battle between the First Ancestor and the Northern Yin Holy Mother was going, and who those two terrifyingly powerful figures in the air were.
Before these Divine Sense could even be transmitted, his mind completely dissipated, and his clone also disintegrated and disappeared.
Border Town.
In the backyard of the rented mansion, Chen Dengming was jolted awake, suddenly snapping out of his dazed state.
He suppressed the excruciating pain that threatened to shatter his spirit, took a Heart Mending Pill, and immediately looked back at the distant horizon.
Then they saw a fourth 'black hole' appear on the distant horizon.
From a distance, they appear to be four small, finger-sized shadows joined together, separated by a distance, gradually shrinking over time, like black areas being gradually erased from a painting.
Chen Dengming looked solemn and took a deep breath.
"Spirit Transformation stage expert, after only four exchanges, has caused such terrifying consequences, and this was all fought at an extremely high altitude."
No wonder the Four Domains need to formulate the Nascent Soul Treaty Spirit Transformation Treaty, it's probably because they can't control it, and even if they did, it would just be a piece of waste paper.
Chen Dengming felt a heavy weight in his heart. Even though he could feel a slight unease when he looked at the four black dots from a distance, it didn't seem like anything special.
But he had just experienced it firsthand with his mind, and knew that the black dot formed from that band of light might represent the loss of color in the sky and earth within a radius of nearly a hundred miles.
Spirit Transformation cultivator can instantly drain the Spiritual Qi within a hundred-mile radius with a single move.
This does not mean that Spirit Transformation cultivators must drain the Spiritual Qi of a region before they can make a move.
Instead, like cultivators of all other realms, they can subconsciously mobilize the Spiritual Qi within a certain range when they make a move, leveraging the Spiritual Qi energy to enhance the power of their Law Technique and attack their enemies.
However, Chen Dengming had a vague feeling that experts at the Spirit Transformation level possessed far more abilities than this; they might also be able to absorb Spiritual Qi from the thundercloud layer, or even from above the thundercloud layer?
"Currently, in this Cultivation World, there is no mention of the Nine Heavens; perhaps there is no such thing as the Nine Heavens."
"Junior Brother! What happened over there?"
He Yingyu's voice interrupted Chen Dengming's thoughts.
He turned to look at his senior sister who had rushed over, and saw her pointing to the distant sky with a surprised expression. Just as he was about to consider his explanation, the small communication array suddenly lit up.
Chen Dengming immediately realized that it was Xing Huiguang who had contacted him.
The two had only made brief contact with each other's Divine Sense; they hadn't even had a chance to communicate.
He raised his hand, signaling He Yingyu not to speak, and quickly activated the small sound transmission array.
Soon, Xing Huiguang's voice came from the small communication array.
"Junior Brother Chen, did you just return to the sect using your clone?"
Chen Dengming: "That's right, Senior Brother Sect Leader, what exactly happened? Were those cultivators at the Nascent Spirit Transformation stage fighting?"
Xing Huiguang's tone was solemn and low, "Yes, I didn't expect you to be able to tell that they were Spirit Transformation experts fighting. Their level of combat has completely exceeded our imagination and understanding."
I couldn't even tell whether it was their true forms fighting or their minds distracted; this kind of power is beyond our comprehension."
"What exactly happened? Did the First Ancestor and the Northern Yin Holy Mother not fight each other?"
"No!"
Xing Huiguang said, "The First Ancestor and the Northern Yin Holy Mother have already fought. The Northern Yin Holy Mother was almost killed by the First Ancestor. If it weren't for the intervention of the Mochao Kingdom Lord, she would have died."
What's infuriating is that this Mochao Kingdom Lord completely disregarded the rules. Not only did he save the Northern Yin Holy Mother, but he also took the opportunity to attack the First Ancestor, attempting to sever the First Ancestor's foundation for Spirit Transformation.
Fortunately, the First Ancestor was also watching the battle, so he intervened simultaneously.
The scene was astonishing. It's likely that none of the Nascent Soul cultivators watching expected that Spirit Transformation experts would suddenly start fighting like that. The Four Domains Elders Council probably couldn't stop it at all, and many even scattered to avoid it.
Chen Dengming was stunned.
So that's how it is.
The Mochao Kingdom Lord, that old fox who had reached the Spirit Transformation stage, was indeed a terrifying figure who had lived for thousands of years. His wisdom was almost demonic. He sensed something was wrong and directly overturned the table to break the deadlock, giving the Longevity Sect no chance to develop the situation.
But this also proves their determination to start a war in four regions.
Regardless of whether the Northern Yin Holy Mother wins or loses, the Mochao Kingdom Lord will launch a great war.
Victory would be ideal, greatly benefiting the Devil Cultivator' camp.
But since defeat is inevitable, the best course of action is to strike first and not give the enemy any more opportunities to gain an advantage.
Rules? What are rules? Rules are made by the strong.
The Four Domains Elders Council certainly couldn't control a Spirit Transformation expert like the Mochao Kingdom Lord, but there were other Spirit Transformation experts in the Four Domains, so they couldn't allow the Mochao Kingdom Lord to act recklessly and ignore the tacit balance maintained over the years.
But the Mochao Kingdom Lord did just that, which only shows he had plenty of confidence. Perhaps he had truly broken through, or perhaps the Tiandao Sect and Qu Shenzong hadn't returned yet, or perhaps it was because of the existence of the Sha Star Dongfang Huayuan and the Heavenly Demon?
Chen Dengming asked, "The Mochao Kingdom Lord dared to act so directly, clearly he came prepared. Will the First Ancestor be in danger?"
Has Senior Qu from the Tiandao Sect not returned yet? And what about Senior Spirit Transformation from the Shu Sword Pavilion?
"I don't know, perhaps the Mochao Kingdom Lord is testing whether Senior Qu will return."
Currently, only the First Ancestor and the Mochao Kingdom Lord are fighting. The other Spirit Transformation are probably still observing or secretly confronting and guarding against each other, thus creating a stalemate.
But even if powerful beings at their level make any moves, I wouldn't be able to detect them even with my Heavenly Eye. Right now, I can only wait for the three Nascent Soul Ancestor to return and see what their orders are."
Xing Huiguang shook his head, also somewhat uneasy.
Although he had anticipated such a situation, he had faith in the First Ancestor.
But now that it has actually happened, and only their own Nascent Spirit Transformation is fighting against the Mochao Kingdom Lord, it's inevitable to feel tense and worried.
Although the Longevity Sect's Immortal Celestial Lineage leader, Shou, possesses special Daoist powers such as the Heavenly Eye to aid in combat, in terms of fighting strength, he is very likely no match for the Mochao Kingdom Lord, who has mastered part of the Devilish Immortal Way lineage and possesses true Demon Immortal blood.
This is also the source of the Mochao Kingdom Lord's confidence.
Now it depends on the situation of the other Spirit Transformation.
Xing Huiguang said solemnly, "Junior Brother Chen, you should stay in the Border Town for now and don't rush back."
If Senior Qu can return in time, or has already returned, then this four-domain war might still be able to be averted.
If it's not possible, I fear that once multiple Spirit Transformation clash, the four regions will be plunged into chaos. You staying in the outermost part of the Eastern Region might allow you to avoid this calamity. I expect to have results soon."
Chen Dengming's heart sank. Judging from Senior Brother Xing's tone, it seemed to imply that the First Ancestor might not be up to par and might be injured or defeated.
It's unlikely to be a kill; Spirit Transformation isn't that easy to kill.
But this old fox was a master of acting, so Chen Dengming asked with some skepticism, "Sect Senior Brother, you're not lying to me this time, are you? Is there some kind of scheme going on?"
Xing Huiguang was taken aback, then laughed angrily and cursed, "What kind of scheme is this? Do you think the three patriarchs and I could set up a scheme that would involve the First Ancestor?"
Chen Dengming thought to himself, "I almost hope you're still setting this up," and he immediately informed them of what was happening in the Border Town.
"Sect Senior Brother, actually, even the Border Town isn't necessarily safe. It has already been invaded by cultivators from the Soul Devouring Sect."
Upon hearing this news, Xing Huiguang exclaimed how ruthless it was, while also realizing that something was amiss.
It seems that not only did the Longevity Sect handle the situation well, but the Devil Cultivator had also considered the worst-case scenario and made the worst-case plans and preparations.
Since the Border Town of the Eastern Region have been invaded and attacked, the Border Town of the Southern Region may not be spared either.
"This news is very important, but given the current chaotic situation, I'm afraid even if I send the message to the Southern Region, they might not be able to salvage the situation."
Junior Brother, you've always been clever. Create more clones, hide them well, and don't show yourself no matter what happens.
I will contact you again once the three Nascent Soul Ancestor return.
(I'm still a little short on monthly votes, so I'll add an extra chapter before 9 PM tonight!)
