Heart Fire Controls Old Chen Deng. The Blood God's Fall

Silver Light spear, flashing like lightning, tore through the air with astonishing force, firmly locking onto the Blood God.

In an instant, the figure drew nearer from afar. The Blood God trembled slightly and, without hesitation, transformed into a streak of blood-red light, preparing to flee.

However, the silver spear moved with the speed of a dragon, and it was already close in an instant. The powerful will contained within it, along with a domineering Human Immortal Way Power that could sweep away everything, immediately made his mind tremble and his thoughts go blank for a moment.

"Not good!!"

The Blood God roared in alarm, and his blood-drop-shaped body instantly surged with crimson light, accompanied by the sounds of incense and prayer, in a vast and mighty procession.

Countless figures emerged from the blood droplets, forming a powerful Incense and Fire Prayer Power, creating a blood-like barrier.

True Spirit Blood Realm!

"Bang--"

The gleaming silver spear swept past swiftly, piercing straight through the drop of blood, even creating a large hole in the blood membrane.

The figures of numerous Incense Believer and praying vanished and disappeared, leaving behind a lingering aura of resentment.

The blood membrane instantly dimmed, and the Blood God groaned as he dodged. His blood-drop-shaped body thinned considerably, as if it had been pierced by a spear and suffered great damage. It stretched into a bright red line and quickly fled.

Run! Run! Run!

We must escape!

Even in his prime, he knew he was no match for this Sha Star, let alone now that he was severely injured and his strength was halved.

He was invited by the Three Saints Palace to seize the opportunity to make a move in order to gain benefits and receive the Demon Lord's reward of a Flesh and Blood Devil Fetus to restore his Physical Body, even becoming stronger than before.

The Three Saints Dao Lord will also relinquish much of their territory to allow him to cultivate more Incense Believer.

But all of this was predicated on his covert actions, slaughtering many Nascent Soul Counterattack Cultivator Alliance and capturing Chen Dengming, the leader of the Longevity Sect.

Only Spirit Transmutation Dao Lord could personally handle such a matter with absolute certainty and swiftness.

However, the number of Spirit Transformation in the Outer Domain Evil Cultivator Alliance was neither too many nor too few, and almost all of them were being watched and guarded against by Spirit Transformation of the same realm. They would notice the slightest disturbance.

Only a Nascent Spirit Transformation like the Blood God, who had fled without a trace after suffering severe injuries, had the opportunity to evade numerous eyes and secretly strike, thus expanding the spoils of war.

Unexpectedly, he secretly made a move and ended up encountering Dongfang Huayuan who suddenly attacked.

Blood God was filled with shock, rage, and fury, and fled rapidly to the north.

If we can buy some time, our own Nascent Spirit Transformation will surely discover Dongfang Huayuan's presence, and he will be saved.

Behind him, Dongfang Huayuan, like a silver comet trailing a fiery tail, swiftly pursued, his Law Treasure silver spear instantly unleashing astonishing Qi Pillar that tore through the night sky and hurtled towards the Blood God.

The mountain ranges along the way were affected, easily pierced with huge gaps, resembling brittle tofu dregs.

Damn it!

Blood God's face darkened as he sensed the threat rapidly approaching; he knew that if he wasn't careful, he would be caught off guard again.

If he continues to flee like this, he might not be able to hold out until his own Nascent Spirit Transformation come to his rescue, and he will die a tragic death at the hands of Dongfang Huayuan.

If he were in his prime, he might have been able to escape.

However, his blood body has been destroyed and has not yet been rebuilt. Once this drop of Spirit Transmutation Dao Blood is also destroyed and he loses his True Spirit Blood Realm, his Three Souls Seven Souls will also be unable to hide, and he may very well follow in the footsteps of Heavenly Crystal Dao Lord.

At this moment, the area within a thousand miles was deathly silent, with only two blinding beams of light, one red and one silver, on the horizon colliding rapidly before disappearing into the distance.

Suddenly, another astonishing roar erupted, accompanied by a burst of blinding blood-silver light.

A terrifying shockwave, resembling a giant mushroom cloud, slowly rose thousands of miles away, illuminating most of the night sky and turning it into daylight, a truly awe-inspiring sight.

Su Yan Yan and Jiang Jian, who had just arrived, were both shaken as they watched the mushroom cloud rise in the distance, their eyes reflecting the blazing light from that spot.

Boom--

A terrifying sound wave arrived late, shaking the surrounding fields and mountains as if they had jumped suddenly. A scorching wind carrying intense Spiritual Qi energy swept in, ruffling the robes and hair of the two people.

The next instant, the wind suddenly returned and contracted as if it had been swirling and surging.

The surrounding air quickly became incredibly oppressive and suffocating, and the Spiritual Qi became extremely thin, as if the Spiritual Qi in the air was being sucked away by this swirling wind.

Only then did the mushroom cloud that had risen slowly spread out in a ring, spreading a terrifying spiritual pressure that weighed heavily on everyone's hearts.

"That Blood God, how could he be so insidious as to sneak up here and attack this junior? This time he can't escape. He has already angered that Sha Star, Dongfang Huayuan. Hmph, he has only himself to blame."

The Second Ancestor Jiang Jian, gloated, patting his round belly. Suddenly, he raised an eyebrow, realizing what was happening, and immediately looked ahead.

"Oh no, where's Fifth Junior Brother?"

Su Yan Yan had never neglected to pay attention to Chen Dengming's situation from beginning to end, and by now she had some guesses. Despite her worries, she still reassured Jiang Jian.

"Fifth Junior Brother should have entered the Divine Ability state of the Human Immortal Orthodox Lineage, so he should be fine. However, we cannot let the Northern Yin Holy Mother get away with this!"

Having said that, she immediately pursued the fleeing Northern Yin Holy Mother.

In that location, Feng Qingbo, Shangguan Linjiang, and Mi Changzai were locked in combat with the Northern Yin Holy Mother and others, but had already fallen into a disadvantageous position.

Jiang Jian breathed a sigh of relief, but was startled by those words. He immediately followed up, saying hastily, "Northern Yin Holy Mother's strength is absolutely top-tier among those in the Nascent Soul Late Stage. Even if we join forces with Shangguan and Old Man Feng, we might not be able to capture her."

As a cultivator of the Longevity Sect who had been practicing the art of survival for thousands of years, Jiang Jian saw little chance of victory and was unlikely to risk his life.

Su Yan Yan replied without turning her head, "We don't need to fight her to the death. We just need to keep her occupied until Senior Dongfang returns after destroying the Blood God, then we can leave the Northern Yin Holy Mother!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Jian breathed a sigh of relief, finding it reasonable, and quickly followed.

On the other side, Chen Dengming, having entered the Seven Absolute Realms, had no thoughts or intentions, and ultimately transformed into a state of no thought and no mind, ethereal and spiritual, empty yet not empty, completely entering the state of no-mind.

This process took more than ten breaths.

If Dongfang Huayuan hadn't arrived in time, even if he had entered the Seven Absolute Realms, before reaching the Heartless stage, the Blood God would have seized his mental fluctuations and dragged him out of the void, ultimately leading to his death.

The Seven Absolute Realms, in the stage before the absence of heart, can confuse many Nascent Soul, and even Nascent Soul Perfection cultivators like Zuo Qiu Ling and Xuanyuan Xiao have difficulty discerning many clues, but it is difficult to hide from the Divine Sense of Spirit Transformation.

Because his strength has reached the Spirit Transformation stage, his Divine Sense can be integrated into the world. It is not the same as the Unity of Heaven and Man and Unity of Heaven and Man. He can easily use his super strong Divine Sense to keenly sense and capture all the subtle things in the world.

Upon entering the state of no-mind, Chen Dengming sensed the presence of the Unseen, indistinct palace.

This palace came into being from nothing.

It arises from nothingness, and can only be found in nothingness.

Two lines of text are engraved on the side pillars of the palace gate. "Human hearts are fickle, and the Heavenly Dao is sometimes empty and sometimes full."

Inside the hall, rows of ancient stone pillars are positioned in accordance with the Thirty-Six Heavenly Spirits, leading straight to the top. The roof is covered with green glazed tiles and contains countless lamps that emit a faint red glow.

It was none other than the Human Heart Hall.

In that instant, Chen Dengming's spirit seemed to transform into countless rising dots, continuously ascending upwards, and finally entering the Human Heart Hall, where it condensed into a physical form at the center of the hall.

At this moment, he shifted from a state of indifference to a state of focused concentration.

Instantly, countless lamps around the hall lit up, revealing leaping human faces that conveyed different emotions.

This scene was familiar to Chen Dengming.

His Martial Immortal Clone, which had entered the Human Heart Hall by fortuitous opportunity in the past, had already encountered this.

But the situation was strange, and before he could observe and feel it carefully, he was surrounded by the Human Immortal Way script and a kind of auspicious cloud-like power.

Upon closer inspection, he was astonished to discover that the faces appearing in the shimmering lamps around him were none other than his enemies who had fought him outside, or his fellow Daoists who had fought alongside him.

"Hmm? These lamps all contain... inner fire?"

Chen Dengming looked at the rows of lamps behind him with a strange expression. Some of the lamps were still emitting a faint red light, while others had already gone out.

The fire of the heart, or the fire of the soul, represents the light of a person's soul.

When a person dies, their heart dies too; death is like a lamp going out, and the fire in the heart will naturally be extinguished.

At this moment, the flickering flames in those lamps that were still lit represent vivid, living people.

As you can see, the flames reveal vivid faces, all of whom are familiar to Chen Dengming — Zhu Xun, the Little Array Spirit, the First Ancestor Lu Xiucheng, and so on.

Further away, some blurry lamps illuminated figures whose faces had also become indistinct. The lights were dim, but upon closer inspection, they were none other than Qiu Feng, the leader of the Evergreen Sect, and Cheng Zhenwei, the leader of the Evergreen Gate, among other familiar faces.

Chen Dengming frowned slightly, then suddenly his mind sharpened and he grasped a piece of information.

The faces reflected in these lamps seemed to be people he knew.

Moreover, the arrangement of the lamps seemed to be determined by the time elapsed between the people he had met and those people.

People like Qiu Feng and Cheng Zhenwei were old acquaintances he hadn't seen in a long time, so the lamps were placed at the back, and their faces were blurred.

However, among the two rows of lanterns at the very front were familiar faces such as Shangguan Linjiang, the Dragon Transformation True Lord, and Gan Qinghong, the Golden Core Elder the Five Elements Escape Sect, whom they had recently met.

The faces of the Ruthless Old Devil Tao Tian and the Blood God, whom he had just fought, were also displayed in the lamps, and were in the first row. However, their light was dim, and their emotions were fluctuating intensely.

"The Human Heart Hall —what is the purpose of displaying those with whom I have had some connection in these lamps, showing their emotional fluctuations?"

Chen Dengming attempted to separate a wisp of his Divine Sense to contact the Ruthless Old Devil's violently fluctuating emotions.

He immediately sensed the other person's panic, regret, resentment, bitterness, and even confusion.

"It seems this guy is quite uneasy about having his Physical Body destroyed."

At that moment, Chen Dengming had the Unseen feeling.

Now that he is Human Heart Hall, it seems that as long as his mind enters the lamp, it is equivalent to entering the depths of the other person's mind. Not only can he discover the other person's secrets, but he may also be able to pinpoint the other person's location.

However, doing so could very well be detected by the other party, or even lead to resistance.

"If they are weaker, it seems that even if I invade their mind, they might not be able to detect it."

His gaze fell upon some lamps with extremely faint lights, among which were Wang Shiduo, Qi Cultivation Cultivator from Nanxun, and Yue Yue, a former Nephew Disciple of the Evergreen Sect.

"This Niece Yue is still alive."

The image of the lovely and sweet junior Nephew Disciple had once led him to live in the Evergreen Sect flashed through Chen Dengming's mind.

I thought my Nephew Disciple had already perished due to the fall of the four regions, but I never expected him to still be alive.

The fact that even the Sect Master Qiu was still alive gave him a slight sense of encouragement.

Then, in the first row, he also discovered that Chai Shun, the Island Master Dragon Spirit Island, was still alive, but the flame in his lamp was weak, indicating that he was in extremely poor condition and even more dangerous than the Ruthless Old Devil.

But as long as you're alive, there's a chance.

Chen Dengming's heart stirred, and he quickly searched for Xu Wei's face among the flames of the many lamps.

However, after a hasty search, he couldn't find his late wife's beautiful face, and a sense of sadness welled up in his heart.

"Is it that even entering the underworld will result in the complete annihilation of body and soul, and the dissipation of the true spirit, or is it that after the true spirit transforms into Ghost Soul, it becomes a different person?"

Chen Dengming couldn't guess it, nor could he understand it.

The human soul, whether in past or present lives, is shrouded in mystery; even at his current Nascent Soul Realm, he cannot see through this fog.

However, he had already let go of the past, and all he felt was nostalgia. He quickly regained his composure and turned his attention to the Blood God whose flames were fluctuating wildly.

I immediately felt a sense of panic, anger, and even fear and despair.

It is astonishing that such an emotion could arise from the mind of a Spirit Transformation True Lord.

However, even Spirit Transformation True Lord might not be able to remain calm when faced with death.

"Senior Dongfang, you still haven't killed this Blood God? It seems that even without Physical Body, a Nascent Spirit Transformation isn't so easy to kill!"

Chen Dengming's heart stirred, realizing that only those in a state of no-heart could enter the Human Heart Hall.

He immediately had a bold idea, but he quickly dismissed it.

It's best not to be too reckless in front of Spirit Transformation, even though this old bastard almost killed him just now.

But revenge requires strategy and wit; you can't risk getting yourself killed.

Chen Dengming looked at another lamp.

The flame inside the lamp flickered, revealing the face of the Northern Yin Holy Mother, her emotions remaining calm, as if victory was assured.

"I'll pick the softest one to squeeze; I'll use you as my first experiment!"

Chen Dengming's eyes burst forth with a cold silver light, his Human Immortal Way Power condensed, and a powerful Divine Sense pierced into his face within the lamp flame like two bolts of lightning.

He had once engaged in a spiritual battle with the Northern Yin Holy Mother, which ultimately ended with him gaining the upper hand.

Now, it is still a battle of minds. Even if the opponent can truly penetrate into the Human Heart Hall, he is not afraid.

Almost the instant his Divine Sense attacked, the Northern Yin Holy Mother, who was fighting against Su Yan Yan and a group of Nascent Soul Middle Stage cultivators on the Battlefield outside, and even had a slight advantage, suddenly felt a pang of fear.

To know her strength, one must know that she had already cultivated a spiritual sense stronger than a sixth sense. Although it leaves no trace, she could sense danger in the Unseen and quickly avoid it whenever it was about to erupt.

However, Chen Dengming's Divine Sense attack originated from within the Human Heart Hall, which was tantamount to controlling a Dao artifact to attack the enemy, allowing for flexible and unpredictable attacks.

The Northern Yin Holy Mother instantly sensed the danger, but had no way of pinpointing where it came from.

This intense sense of crisis and contradiction caused her to become slightly flustered, making her less able to defend against attacks from the surrounding enemies.

He was immediately struck hard, his body was sent flying, and the magical Law Treasure protecting his body cracked.

In that instant, a strong and familiar Divine Sense power also invaded her mind.

"It's you!?"

The Northern Yin Holy Mother was startled, not expecting that this suddenly appearing enemy was Chen Dengming, who had disappeared without a trace after being assassinated by the Blood God, and whose fate was unknown.

How is that possible?

She clearly saw the Blood God pierce her brow; even if she survived, she shouldn't have the strength to fight again.

In this moment of intense mental turmoil, Chen Dengming's Divine Sense, accompanied by his Dao power, rapidly transformed into a magnificent and domineering giant, roaring as it invaded the flaws revealed by the turmoil in the mind of the Northern Yin Holy Mother.

"Get out!"

The Northern Yin Holy Mother gathered her Divine Sense power, and a flower like a ghostly blue flame suddenly appeared in her mind, calming the turbulent lake of her heart and instantly restoring the flaws that had appeared in her mind, making them one with oneness.

Chen Dengming suddenly felt the flame in the lamp in front of him suddenly stabilize, calming down from its turbulent state.

His intruding Divine Sense was like a ball hitting a closed iron door, bounced back by a powerful force generated by the other party's instantly closed mind.

However, it was precisely because of his underhanded actions that the Northern Yin Holy Mother was distracted again after being knocked away. Instantly, she was attacked by Jiang Jian, Mi Changzai, and others who came to beat her while she was down. Her protective Law Treasure collapsed immediately, leaving her in Flesh and Blood.

Having been rebuffed, Chen Dengming saw the flames that the Northern Yin Holy Mother had immobilized rapidly dimming, indicating that the other party was in a bad situation. He immediately breathed a sigh of relief and a sudden realization dawned on him.

"It seems that while using a Dao artifact like the Human Heart Hall offers the opportunity to peer into others' thoughts and even invade their minds, it doesn't mean one can do whatever one wants. It still depends on one's own strength and the strength of the other party."

"At the very least, if the other party becomes aware of it, they can quickly calm themselves down without needing to retaliate. Their [heart fire], representing their emotions, will also stabilize, and my invading Divine Sense will be expelled."

Chen Dengming nodded slightly, satisfied with the result of this test.

Currently, it seems that while the Human Heart Hall cannot do whatever it wants, there are still some limitations.

However, judging from the sudden fluctuations of panic and confusion in the expression of the Northern Yin Holy Mother just now, it is clear that the opponent could not determine his location and therefore could not attack him.

Chen Dengming's gaze quickly shifted to the Blood God, whose flame in the lamp at the far end had already dimmed considerably.

The emotions revealed by this Blood God were no longer anger, but only intense resentment, despair, regret, and even a desire for mercy.

"You old bastard. You hid and tricked me just now, now I'll turn the tables on you. This is called an eye for an eye!"

A slight smile appeared on Chen Dengming's lips, and a chill settled in his eyes. He felt that most of the Human Immortal Way Power in his body had been depleted due to the Ancient Human Immortal Physique. Suddenly, he looked up and strode towards the center of the hall.

Above the Human Heart Hall, on the dome wall, are painted many lifelike patterns, including scenes of many people participating in war, as well as depictions of mountains, rivers, plants, agriculture, and animal husbandry, interspersed with streaks of Silver Dao Script.

The moment he stepped into the center of the hall and unleashed a surge of Human Immortal Way Power, the entire Human Heart Hall trembled and vibrated.

Streaks of Silver Dao Script, accompanied by a rich, auspicious cloud-like aura, rapidly drifted down from the palace roof and converged on his body.

"Inheritance!!"

Chen Dengming spread his arms wide, frantically absorbing the Human Immortal Way scriptures gathered from all around and refining them into Dao power.

His eyes instantly burst forth with a sharp, cold, silvery light, which, in mid-air, condensed into an icy silver face using the Human Immortal Divine Ability <Startling Eye Spirit Refining Art>, and then swooped down towards the Blood God's Heart Fire.

He wants to personally send the Blood God on his way!

The silver-white face swept past, and the temperature Human Heart Hall seemed to drop instantly. The Heart Flame also tilted and shook violently, and the Blood God's face within it showed a look of shock and disbelief.

Outside, the Blood God, forced to disperse his Essence Blood and blood into various forms and flee under the pursuit of Dongfang Huayuan, is nearly in dire straits.

Realizing that Dongfang Huayuan had pursued him again after defeating the transformed body, he was utterly desperate, resolved to die, and prepared to fight to the death.

Suddenly, in that instant, a sense of threat, of unknown origin, arose in my heart with trepidation.

"Who?"

He was utterly astonished in that instant.

A silver face radiating a chilling aura suddenly invaded my mind, shaking my very soul.

The familiar facial features, and those piercingly cold tiger eyes, made him recognize the person instantly.

It's you!

"It's me! You old dog, I'm sending you on your way!"

Chen Dengming combined his Divine Sense with his Dao power and unleashed a furious attack.

"Presumptuous!!"

The Blood God was furious. He unleashed a torrent of Divine Sense, like a sea of blood, which instantly melted away most of the Silver Light- faced figure.

However, a cold smile appeared on that mutilated half of his face.

"Not good!"

The Blood God was startled, as an incredibly intense sense of crisis suddenly descended from the sky.

"Stop!!"

"Spare his life!"

Two vast and fierce spiritual powers arrived just before his Divine Sense was about to fade.

However, it was too late--

"Keep your mother's head!!"

A dazzling silver spear, like a silver dragon, suddenly descended, piercing through his Essence Blood and blood.

This drop of blood, which he had condensed over two thousand years of cultivation and contained the blood of countless deceased Incense Believer, caused his incense and blood realm to explode and collapse instantly.

"No!"

Boom!!--

Countless Incense Believer within the bloodline perished amidst the domineering and sharp silver spear light.

For these Incense Believer, it was as if the sky had suddenly collapsed.

The world they depended on for survival collapsed.

The Blood God, whom they worshipped day and night high in the heavens, also let out a shrill scream that echoed throughout the nine heavens and ten earths.

Its magnificent, blood-red body, as vast as the blood-red sun, was pinned to the heavens by that silver spear, and together with the shattered blood-red sky, it burst forth with boundless, terrifying spiritual light, cracking open in countless ways.

Then, within that blood-covered body, the Three Souls, Seven Souls, and the true spirit of the Spirit Transformation gradually dissipated along with countless Incense Believer.

The once- Spirit Transformation True Lord, who lived for over 3,700 years and was known as the most troublesome and hardest-to-kill Blood God, perished today, along with the countless Incense Believer he had carefully cultivated!

This is still the situation within its True Spirit Blood Realm.

At this moment, in the Four Domains, in that mysterious outer land, countless true spirits of the dead who had not entered the Blood Realm, living beside the Incense Believer God and worshipping him day and night, suddenly felt a heavy weight in their hearts, as if the sky had collapsed.

Some cultivators were suddenly horrified to discover that the enormous blood god statue placed within the sect had abruptly lost its faint spiritual power and the power of Incense and Faith, and had violently cracked and collapsed to the ground.

Such situations are playing out in many places where the blood god's Incense and Faith has developed.

The fall of such a Spirit Transformation in the path of Incense Dao has had a truly enormous impact, causing the collapse of the faith of countless cultivators and even mortals.
