The Great Longevity Dao Venerable

"Found you!"

Amidst the collapsed ruins, Chen Dengming's eyes suddenly shone like dazzling silver lamps, locking onto a spot of ashes in the ruins below, and instantly unleashed a fierce mental attack.

At the same time, the short sword formed from the Divine Transformation Stone shot out with lightning speed.

Sizzle!

Almost the instant the short sword was slashed, Huang Yun's figure appeared out of thin air from the ashes, and she was immediately struck by the sword, her robe instantly ripped open and illuminated.

Puff--

The blade's energy pierced through the protective robes, passing right through the body and leaving a trail of blood. The compressed Spiritual Qi formed a terrifying shockwave that swept across the shattered corpses on the ground, carving out a deep trench several meters long.

Huang Yun's body, which was already mostly shattered, was suddenly disemboweled. Even though the Nascent Soul True Lord had extremely tenacious vitality and the Phoenix bloodline's super regenerative ability helped her recover quickly, it still took a certain amount of time.

But Chen Dengming wouldn't give her that time at all.

Huang Yun was also well aware of this. Even though she was extremely proud, she knew that she had been completely defeated and had to seize the opportunity to recover from her injuries. Otherwise, forcing herself to continue fighting would have dire consequences.

Boom!

Roar!--

Just then, a fierce Dragon's Roar's roar accompanied Chen Dengming's violent attack.

Two celestial dragon souls soared and swooped down, baring their fangs and brandishing their claws.

Several crimson fist strikes, like rainbows piercing the sun, covered the sky and the earth.

Such a swift and ferocious offensive, coupled with an unpredictable and sophisticated mental attack, gave Huang Yun no chance to catch her breath.

Huang Yun gritted her teeth and let out a sharp shout. The Five-Colored Divine Pearl, which had already developed cracks, suddenly burst out with a burst of five-colored light and exploded.

The two dragon souls were immediately startled and quickly dodged.

An incredibly violent shockwave surged violently, causing air currents to surge and countless shockwaves to sweep across the shattered ruins and spread outwards.

At that moment, the earth seemed to experience an earthquake of magnitude 10 or higher, and many rocks and sand were burned into lava by the high temperature emitted from the explosion of the Five-Colored Divine Pearl.

As Huang Yun retreated rapidly, her body was recovering at a breathtakingly fast pace.

At the same time, her cold gaze fixed on the distorted ruins opposite her, and a Daoist aura suddenly emanated from her, resonating with the Phoenix True Blood within her.

The moment that Daoist aura appeared.

Chen Dengming, who had just charged down from the opposite side, suddenly changed his expression.

"Daoist charm?"

Huang Yun's eyes flickered slightly, but in an instant, her robes were burned away, and her incredibly beautiful but scarred body flashed by in the blazing flames.

A fierce, blazing red flame instantly erupted from her wounded body the moment she pointed with her right hand, transforming into a cluster of fiery rays that shot straight towards Chen Dengming's massive form.

All of this seemed to happen slowly, but in reality, it was just a fleeting moment when Huang Yun raised her hand.

In that instant, the air temperature rose sharply, as if a phoenix had truly descended upon the world.

A crimson fire phoenix, stirring up intense and distorted waves of energy and Dao essence, flashed past in an instant.

Chen Dengming felt his hair curl up even from a distance, and he was horrified.

He retreated swiftly, and the giant deer roared, its massive body bulging with muscles, its back forming a thick city wall in front of it.

The next moment, a bolt of fire pierced through his chest.

Julu let out a deafening scream, and Chen Dengming felt an intense, burning pain in his chest, his strength seemingly draining away rapidly with his injury.

Boom!--

His massive body crashed to the ground, a hole the size of a bowl piercing through his right chest, his Flesh and Blood and bones charred.

Not far away, Huang Yun felt the oppressive aura subside slightly and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

At the same time, the flames surrounding her body gradually died down and dimmed, blood gushed from many places on her cracked skin, her complexion turned deathly pale, and the healing of her wounds slowed down considerably.

She had just used the power of the Phoenix True Blood within her body to unleash her Dao essence, which successfully severely injured her powerful enemy, but it also caused her to consume even more of the Phoenix True Blood within her body. Now that her power has been greatly reduced, even the speed at which her injuries are recovering has slowed down considerably.

However, Chen Dengming was severely injured and did not pursue her, which gave her a chance to escape.

Whoosh--

Huang Yun summoned a magical Law Treasure that resembled a whirlwind, stepped onto it, and instantly sped away.

"Trying to escape?"

Chen Dengming was about to get up, but he felt his strength still draining away, his body going limp. His magical Law Power seemed to be constantly being devoured by the flames flowing out of the hole in his right chest. Only his Human Immortal Way Power and Immortal Celestial Dao Power could continue to circulate without interference.

The reason why the flames swirling around the wound did not spread rapidly was because there was still a large amount of Human Immortal Way Power blocking it; otherwise, they could have easily burned the person to ashes.

"This fire... it seems to be formed from the combined power of the Phoenix Dao and its Daoist essence; it won't be easy to extinguish."

Chen Dengming frowned as he looked at the crimson flames swirling around his right chest, a calm yet ruthless and decisive look in his eyes.

He swiftly summoned the Divine Transformation Stone, and with a flick of his finger, the stone instantly transformed into a hollow cylinder the size of a bowl, with incredibly sharp edges.

Chen Dengming's eyes hardened as he made a hand seal.

Buzz!--

The cylinder formed from the Divine Transformation Stone spun rapidly for a moment, then suddenly pierced through the wound on the right side of the chest with a loud "clanging" sound.

Chen Dengming's face turned pale for a moment, and sweat instantly beaded on his forehead.

A large clump of blood, mixed with Flesh and Blood and some broken bones, was instantly pulled out of the body by the rapidly spinning cylinder that pierced through the chest.

The moment it fell to the ground, the Phoenix True Fire burned its powerless Flesh and Blood and bones to ashes, surging and burning towards the cylinder formed by the Divine Transformation Stone.

Chen Dengming immediately made a hand seal and took away the Divine Transformation Stone.

The stone flew over, but it had already been burned until it was red-hot and softened. Just a moment ago, it almost turned into juice.

"What a domineering Phoenix True Fire!"

Chen Dengming's eyes widened in shock as he watched the flames on the ground burn stones and soil upon landing, instantly turning the ground into lava, yet they never went out, a sight that sent chills down his spine.

"Huang Yun is too powerful and poses too great a threat. We cannot give her time to recover; we must eliminate this threat once and for all."

Chen Dengming's eyes flashed with killing intent. He quickly summoned the White Bone Thousand Soul Chariot, then exited the state of the Ancient Human Immortal Physique and returned to his normal human size.

Finally, he unleashed his Human Immortal Way Power to perform the Spirit Devouring Technique, carefully absorbing the Phoenix True Fire that was constantly burning on the ground, and quickly drove away.

This Phoenix True Fire is extremely dangerous; it can burn anything, and Chen Dengming has no good equipment to contain it.

At this moment, the only way to quickly pursue this woman was to use the Divine Ability Human Immortal Way Power in his hand and rely on the connection between the Phoenix True Fire and Huang Yun.

This Huang Yun is clearly much stronger than Feng Qi. She has inherited more of the Phoenix Dao lineage and, like him, comprehended the Dao at the Nascent Soul Realm. She is simply an unparalleled Heavenly Pride.

Such a person, having become an enemy, must be killed immediately.

Otherwise, if given even the slightest chance to catch its breath, some uncanny luck might cause it to recover rapidly, or even become stronger, and launch a counterattack.

The White Bone Thousand Soul Chariot sped along, and after taking a pill to restore his Law Power, Chen Dengming used his Heavenly Eye to search for Huang Yun while simultaneously casting the Reverse Glory Spring Return Technique to absorb the Rong Qi from the Ancient Wood along the way and quickly recover from his injuries.

The wound that pierced his right chest wasn't too big; now that he'd returned to his normal size, it looked like a penetrating wound the size of a longan.

But the internal organs have been damaged and need to New Life and Flesh and Blood.

On the contrary, the giant deer was more seriously injured. Its spirit body was torn open from its back by a wound as thick as a bowl, and it roared with resentment from time to time.

"Alright, stop howling. Here's something good for you."

Chen Dengming frowned and shouted in a low voice, summoning the Soul-Reaping Bow Staff.

The giant deer, which was still roaring in resentment and anger, suddenly turned its evil eyes green when it saw the Soul-Reaping Bow Staff being drawn. Its roar shrank into a whimper, and it grinned at Chen Dengming in a fawning manner.

"You're a bit like my silly leopard, aren't you?"

Chen Dengming laughed in anger. This giant deer was originally an evil artifact spirit that was feared throughout the four regions, but unexpectedly, it had been cultivated into such a sycophant in his hands.

Chen Dengming raised his hand and grabbed the Nascent Soul Divine Soul of the Evil Cultivator Nascent Soul Middle Stage that he had killed earlier from the Soul-Reaping Bow Staff.

Before the Evil Cultivator could even beg for mercy, Chen Dengming directly shattered his Nascent Soul Divine Soul.

The giant deer roared and pounced, devouring a large amount of pure Nascent Soul Divine Soul power. Its wounds healed at an extremely fast speed.

Even its entire body began to radiate white light, its ferocious muscle lines became smooth and beautiful, and the small antlers that had grown back after being broken off also shone with spiritual light, gradually growing larger, and a powerful aura was brewing within the giant deer's body.

At the same time, the burnt corners of the Giant Deer Mage Robe and the torn chest area were also shimmering with spiritual light, absorbing Spiritual Qi and subtle substances from the air and healing themselves.

"Fellow Daoist, the Giant Deer is about to advance; perhaps it can regain its former strength as a Divine Spirit Transformation spirit."

At this moment, Soul House, the Little Array Spirit transmitted a reminder, "The Giant Deer was born from Bai Ze and the Gou Ran, possessing the bloodline of a divine beast. The Great Dao resides deep within its bloodline and soul. Restoring its former strength is like Spirit Transmutation Dao Lord rebuilding; once enough power is accumulated, it will naturally recover."

"Hmm? To regain your former strength?"

Chen Dengming's eyes brightened slightly, and he couldn't help but feel a little excited. The frustration he felt from the repeated destruction of his Law Treasure during his battle with Huang Yun was greatly relieved.

That was a good bite; it was definitely worth feeding them.

Although he obtained and repaired the complete Giant Deer Mage Robe, it was still not as good as it had been in the hands of the Giant Deer True Lord. The Giant Deer's strength had also fallen from the Spirit Transformation level to the Nascent Soul.

After entering the Shattered Heavenly Immortal Realm, the Giant Deer had already devoured the complete Nascent Soul Divine Soul of Nascent Soul Early Stage, and there were many more Golden Core souls among them.

Now, having devoured the Nascent Soul Divine Soul of a Nascent Soul Middle Stage, it is finally beginning to gradually regain the strength of its former Divine Spirit Transformation spirit.

If Julu's strength is restored, his combat power will also increase, at least in terms of defense and survivability, it will be greatly improved.

The power and Physical Body strength of the Ancient Human Immortal Physique are naturally formidable, but it still appears fragile when facing the Phoenix True Fire containing Daoist principles released by Huang Yun.

For Spirit Transmutation Dao Lord, it's even more like paper.

However, if the Giant Deer Mage Robe were restored to its full strength, he might be able to withstand a few blows from Spirit Transmutation Dao Lord, at least dying with some dignity.

"I wonder how the First Ancestor and the others are doing in the battle? Huang Yun has fled in the direction of the Immortal King's Mansion."

Chen Dengming composed himself, looked into the distance, and raised his eyebrows.

Through the connection established by the Phoenix True Fire under his control, he had sensed Huang Yun's aura gradually approaching.

This woman also appears to be seriously injured, as her speed seems to be decreasing.

However, the direction she fled was towards the Immortal King's Mansion. Could it be that she was hoping that the Demon Lord and Qing Mingzi would come to her aid?

At this moment, in the distance, towards the direction of the Immortal King's Mansion, a large patch of fluffy clouds seemed too tired to move, frozen in the gradually darkening sky.

Occasionally, a few intense beams of light would pierce the sky, causing the clouds and mist to disperse, seemingly the residual energy from the battle between the First Ancestor and others.

But the commotion was too small.

It didn't seem like a battle between experts of this level at all; in fact, the Mountains and Earth didn't even tremble much.

There can only be one reason why this could happen—they have all entered the Immortal King's Mansion.

"Ancestral Master and Senior Lu, are you going to rely on calamity power to eliminate the Demon Lord and Qing Mingzi again?"

Chen Dengming frowned in deep thought, sensing that something was amiss.

The Demon Lord possesses the Heavenly Fortune Hong Lotus. Even without control of the Heavenly Fortune Hall, he is still blessed. Within the Immortal King's Mansion, unless the Heavenly Fortune Hong Lotus is completely destroyed, the calamity force will find it difficult to suppress the Demon Lord.

In this situation, neither the First Ancestor nor the Qu Shenzong had any advantage.

"Could it be that it wasn't the First Ancestor who lured the Demon Lord and Qing Mingzi into the Immortal King's Mansion, but rather that the Demon Lord and Qing Mingzi themselves stormed in? Were the First Ancestor and Senior Qu trying to stop them?"

Chen Dengming instantly grasped the key point and immediately guessed the Demon Lord's intention—to seize the Heavenly Fortune Hall.

The Heavenly Fortune Hall has been hidden away by the First Ancestor.

Chen Dengming once wondered where the First Ancestor had hidden the Heavenly Fortune Hall.

The answer has now been revealed.

Heavenly Fortune Hall must have been hidden inside the Immortal King's Mansion.

Hiding it within the Immortal King's Mansion is quite reasonable; with the power of countless tribulations concealing its good fortune, it can prevent the Demon Lord from quickly sensing it.

However, judging from the current situation, the Demon Lord is still able to pinpoint the location of the Heavenly Fortune Hall, which is probably beyond the expectations of the First Ancestor and the Qu Shenzong.

Even if Chen Dengming figured out the key, with his strength, it would be difficult for him to intervene in a battle between experts of this level. Apart from worrying, there seemed to be no other way.

"Take care of the most troublesome people first."

Chen Dengming took a deep breath and felt that the wound on his right chest had mostly healed. The Law Power he had lost earlier had also recovered considerably after taking the pill. Immediately, his eyes were filled with Silver Light, and his mind was immersed in the Human Heart Hall deep within his mind.

Human Heart Hall, flames of the heart burn brightly.

The inner flame representing the Starfall Old Ghost flickered slightly, still tracking Feng Qi.

Feng Qi was also a cautious person. He probably realized that Starfall Old Ghost was tracking him, so he kept running without stopping, and even occasionally took the initiative to fight back, trying to lure and kill Starfall Old Ghost.

Unfortunately, the Starfall Old Ghost was a cunning and treacherous Old Wang turtle who had lived for over a thousand years. He was not a dull and mindless Nascent Soul Soul Arrow and was not fooled at all, leaving Feng Qi helpless.

Chen Dengming felt relieved and focused on the other flame in his heart, which revealed Huang Yun.

He concentrated his mental energy and suddenly transformed into a Silver Light, like a rainbow piercing the sun, heading straight for the heart fire, like a heavy hammer smashing into Huang Yun's heart.

This psychological attack, which utilizes the Human Heart Hall, is not a silent infiltration into the opponent's mind. Therefore, Chen Dengming does not need to enter the Human Heart Hall with State of Mind to carry it out.

More than two thousand miles away.

While fleeing and simultaneously channeling her bloodline power to heal her injuries, Huang Yun suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood. Her heart pounded, and a look of horror appeared in her beautiful eyes.

"Psychological warfare. How did he do that?"

She quickly looked around, scanning with her Divine Sense, but failed to detect any trace of the enemy. An unprecedented sense of fear and defeat arose in her heart, and her mind became even more trembling and weak.

This native cultivator from the Ancient Realm had managed to force her into such a predicament, a tragic situation she had never imagined before coming to fight with such high spirits.

Just then, an even more ferocious psychological attack came.

Huang Yun gritted her teeth, immediately focused her mind, and established a mental defense line to resist the intrusion of this tyrannical mental attack.

However, she felt timid and defeated, which was like a crack in the heart of the proud Phoenix Cry Dao Child, making it difficult for her to build a defense.

A master of manipulation like Chen Dengming intended to forcefully open a crack in her mind, then storm in like a ruthless attack on a dragon's lair, widening the crack and tearing her to pieces.

The book title has been changed back to "Cultivating Immortality in Old Age," but it's now called "The Longevity Dao Venerable."

My stomach has been hurting for the past two days, probably from frequently skipping breakfast. When it hurts, I can't sit for long; it's bloated and painful, so updates are a little slower.
