The Devil Venerable's True Body Descends! An Arm of the Heavenly Dao! The Stars of High Antiquity All in His Palm

Anything involving the mind and spirit is beyond words.

To describe it in detail, Huang Yun's mental attack on Chen Dengming at this moment was as if a demon had suddenly been born within her, and she had fallen into a demonic state, with her mind in a state of extreme panic, weakness, and many other negative emotions.

If it were just these negative emotions, that would be fine; she could still barely manage to keep running away, swayed by her panic.

However, at this moment, these negative emotions were like fuel to ignite a fire, a raging flame that burned her heart, creating cracks that allowed Chen Dengming's psychological offensive to continuously infiltrate along these cracks, constructing all sorts of illusions in her mind.

At this moment, Huang Yun was truly trapped, with no way to escape her fate.

She fell from the sky into the desert below, rolling along the sand dunes, kicking up dust. Her face was covered in dust mixed with blood, and she was sweating profusely.

The once arrogant and haughty Phoenix Cry Dao Child is now humiliated and drenched, looking worse than a drowned rat.

She bit her chapped lips, but felt increasingly Mental Strength, even thirsty and hot, like a traveler about to die of thirst and heat in the desert.

Trying to see things clearly, I discovered what looked like an oasis in the distance, where merchants were trading and selling goods, and the reflection of the lake water was faintly visible.

How ridiculous and pathetic that a dignified Phoenix Cry Dao Child like her could suffer from thirst and die of heatstroke in the desert!

"It's fake, it's all fake, it's all fake Huang Yun, you have to hold on."

Huang Yun rolled around on the sand dunes, her whole body trembling, as memories from hundreds of years ago surged into her mind like a tide.

In that desolate place, where snow fell heavily and the weather seemed cruel, she hid in the cellar of her home, covering her mouth to stifle her sobs, witnessing the destruction of her Lineage, the beheading of her father, and the rape and murder of her mother. She seemed to have become the lonely and miserable little girl Xiang Fang all over again.

Centuries have passed in the blink of an eye.

She could no longer distinguish whether she was Xiang Fang or Phoenix Cry Dao Child Huang Yun, or whether attaining immortality was just a fleeting dream.

What Phoenix Cry Dao Child, what Phoenix Cry Dao Domain's future Dao Venerable, was nothing more than a ridiculous dream conceived by a vengeful girl on that lonely and helpless snowy night.

In her dream, the sinful fire that burned down her entire family blossomed into fireworks of redemption, transforming into a fiery phoenix that carried her away to a distant, dreamlike world— the Cultivation World — the Phoenix Cry Dao Sect.

"Is this the secret she keeps hidden in her heart?"

Thousands of miles away, Chen Dengming drove at breakneck speed, his mind penetrating deep into Huang Yun's heart, where he naturally glimpsed the secrets hidden within her soul.

He also uses this deepest, most authentic secret of the mind to weave a dream in the other person's mental world that even he himself cannot quickly distinguish between reality and illusion, making it difficult for the other person to wake up in a short time and unable to escape.

Undeniably, Huang Yun is indeed powerful, arguably the strongest enemy he has faced in his cultivation journey so far, aside from the Spirit Transmutation Dao Lord.

In terms of danger level, it ranks above the troublesome and dangerous Starfall Old Ghost and the Northern Yin Holy Mother.

Observing the secrets of her heart, it seems that Huang Yun was once a pitiful person.

However, there's always a reason why someone is pitiful.

Now that the two regions are locked in a life-or-death struggle, Chen Dengming's murderous intent has not wavered in the slightest; on the contrary, it has become even stronger.

Because it is precisely because of people like this, who were once humble but are now powerful, that their potential is most terrifying. Every setback, as long as it does not completely crush them, will only make them stronger in the future.

He channeled even more Law Power, and the wheels of the White Bone Thousand Soul Chariot spun wildly, speeding away at an even greater pace.

At the same time.

Inside the Immortal King's Mansion, the battle was particularly fierce.

The Devil Venerable Moluo was truly too powerful. Together with Qing Mingzi, who could use immortal techniques, the two of them fought against Lu Xiucheng and Qu Shenzong without ever being at a disadvantage. They even guided the Battlefield to the Heavenly Fortune Hall in the Immortal King's Mansion.

In this situation, even if Lu Xiucheng and Qu Shenzong could maintain a stalemate, it would be tantamount to being at a disadvantage.

Once Mo Luo truly takes over Heavenly Fortune Hall, it's hard to imagine what will happen. Perhaps with the Heavenly Fortune Hong Lotus, Mo Luo will actually be able to control Heavenly Fortune Hall.

At that time... the Inner Domain will truly be turned against them.

Qu Shenzong and Lu Xiucheng were naturally aware of the current situation. After they joined forces to break through the magic spell cast by Mo Luo, they retreated into the depths of the tribulation clouds, their eyes revealing a resolute look.

"Old tortoise, it seems that's the only way we can go."

"Hehehe, what joy is there in living, what fear is there in dying? Fellow Daoist Qu, I have lived enough. It's just a pity that neither this Demon Lord nor Qing Mingzi are here in disguise. I can't drag their true selves down with me; that would be an endless disaster."

"It's not impossible. If he's truly determined to possess the Heavenly Fortune Hall, greed will also draw him in, causing him to reap what he sows..."

After receiving the telepathic message, Qu Shenzong sighed inwardly.

Even if he could drag Mo Luo's true form down with him, he would still feel sorrow and regret for his like-minded and dear friend, Lu Xiucheng.

However, many times there is simply no choice.

When I was a mere Qi Cultivation Cultivator, I thought that once I reached the Foundation Establishment, I would have a choice. But I discovered that even Foundation Establishment cultivators are not free to choose their own paths.

From Foundation Establishment to Golden Core, then to Nascent Soul Spirit Transformation, every step is arduous. Only after traversing each step do we realize that while we have more choices, we have fewer choices left to make.

But when forced to make a choice, the decision remains just as helpless, yet also resolute and unwavering.

"Let's make our move! I'll hold them off for a moment!"

Qu Shenzong took a deep breath, his tiger-like eyes radiating power, and his burly body flew to Lu Xiucheng's side. As he leaned on his halberd, countless bolts of lightning appeared all around him.

Beyond the calamity, bursts of thunder sounded like muffled drumbeats, striking incessantly.

After the opponent's power was restored, the Demon Lord and Qing Mingzi appeared together.

"Heaven's Punishment Thunder, heed my command!"

Qu Shenzong's eyes shimmered with a blinding blue light as he uttered a low, authoritative roar, as powerful as thunder.

Boom--

A series of dazzling white lights, like swords, cleaved through the dense tribulation clouds and fiercely attacked the Demon Lord and Qing Mingzi.

At the same time, Lu Xiucheng plunged into a deep pool of water behind layers of tribulation clouds.

He voluntarily transferred his remaining blessings and the Heavenly Longevity Hall to the Qu Shenzong, while he himself was placed within layers of calamity, seemingly about to fall into eternal damnation.

That pool of water, filled with a frenzied aura and shrouded in layers of tribulation clouds, was no ordinary water, but a pool of blood composed of the Heavenly Dao Blood, exuding a frenzied aura.

Beyond the blood pool stood a vast, magnificent, and ancient palace. Beside the palace lay the remains of two enormous monsters, which had once looked ferocious but were now mummified corpses, nestled amidst layers of calamity clouds. This was none other than the Heavenly Fortune Hall.

The moment Lu Xiucheng rushed into the Heavenly Dao Blood without hesitation.

An incredibly strong and frenzied will instantly overwhelmed and surged into his mind.

Even though he was already in a state of perfect calm Heavenly Heart Realm, at this moment, he was finally unable to resist this terrifying and insane will.

"Ah--"

He stood in the pool of blood, letting out a frenzied roar. His originally azure eyes were instantly covered with red veins, filled with a terrifying madness. His long hair flew wildly, and the vast Immortal Celestial Dao Power within his body seemed to be ignited, bursting out with an incomparably powerful and awe-inspiring aura.

Just then, Qu Shenzong, with a muffled groan, was blasted back by the immense force unleashed by a towering tree summoned by Qing Mingzi, blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.

The Devil Venerable Moluo's enormous demonic body flew over under the light of the Heavenly Fortune Hong Lotus. His gaze first swept over Lu Xiucheng with a mixture of fear and understanding, then quickly locked onto the magnificent Heavenly Fortune Hall behind the blood pool. Suddenly, he spread his arms wide, his fingers outstretched, and threw his head back, letting out a wild laugh.

"Hahaha, the Heavenly Fortune Hall! I've finally found it after searching high and low! Now that the Palaces of Fortune, Longevity, and Life are all here, I should rightfully reshape the Heavenly Dao! Ahahaha--"

Mo Luo's arrogant laughter echoed throughout the Immortal King's Mansion, seemingly ignoring the obviously threatening situation posed by the Longevity Dao Lord Lu Xiucheng, as if he were fearless.

"Old tortoise! How are you?!"

Qu Shenzong quickly retreated to Lu Xiucheng's side, his eyes filled with worry as he asked in a low voice.

"I..."

Lu Xiucheng's eyes burned with an even more intense, crazed red light. He let out heavy, violent breaths, like a ferocious beast. Suddenly, with a flick of his sleeve, he unleashed a surge of immense Law Power, pushing Qu Shenzong back to the Heavenly Fortune Hall.

"Brother Lu Dao!"

Qu Shenzong, his face deathly pale, let out a mournful cry. For the first time, he did not call him "Old Turtle" again, and for the first time, he chose not to fight alongside him, but instead retreated.

This was a plan the two had discussed beforehand, a plan that required someone to sacrifice themselves.

When the plan is launched, the other person must cooperate unconditionally and comply fully, because the other person also has important tasks.

"My anger is the anger of Heaven!"

Lu Xiucheng let out a wild roar, revealing his madness, and locked his gaze on Qing Mingzi, whose expression had drastically changed, and Mo Luo, whose laughter had just ceased, and pointed angrily.

Boom--

The blood pool, brimming with a frenzied aura, suddenly surged into the sky, countless drops of blood rising like blood dragons, instantly attracting streaks of mad crimson lightning that tore through the clouds and hurtled towards the Demon Lord and Qing Mingzi like raging thunderbolts.

"The Heavenly Dao Blood, this is your last resort, Longevity Dao Lord, you have exhausted all your tricks!"

A cold and arrogant smile appeared on Mo Luo's face. His Devil Eyes reflected the crimson lightning bolts that were attacking him. As if victory was in his grasp, he suddenly let out a long howl.

"The Heavenly Fortune Hall is mine to have! I will obtain it at all costs!"

Qing Mingzi, standing beside him, couldn't help but show a hint of fear in his eyes and quickly retreated.

"Devouring the Heavens!!"

Boom!!

An incomparably powerful and surging Devil Qi, accompanied by Dao power, suddenly spread out from his imposing, god-like body, causing his entire body to explode.

The High Antiquity Devil Fetus shattered, instantly transforming into a monstrous vortex of evil Devil Qi. As it spun rapidly, it swept up countless bricks and stones from the Immortal King's Mansion's Palace, transforming them into a gigantic, murky abyss-like maw that expanded explosively, blotting out the sky and swallowing up countless crimson lightning bolts that were hurtling towards it.

"Earth Immortal Daoist Technique: Devouring the Heavens!!"

Qu Shenzong's eyes widened in shock.

As the massive, fiercely powerful crimson lightning bolts were swallowed up by the vortex of Devil Qi, which resembled the gaping maw of an abyss, they vanished without a trace, like mud sinking into the sea.

This rapidly expanding vortex of Devil Qi devoured Lu Xiucheng with astonishing force.

Unexpectedly, Lu Xiucheng's scarlet eyes were filled with intense killing intent, and he appeared like a madman, releasing a vast and terrifying will that made the entire Immortal King's Mansion tremble and feel oppressed.

He has cultivated for nearly six thousand years, and once witnessed High Antiquity immortals playing chess. He has been in the Cultivation World for many years, experiencing countless conspiracies and life-and-death battles, and he still stands strong to this day!

Now, he will personally end this catastrophe. He took a step forward and grabbed with his hand.

Countless pools of blood water suddenly roared and converged back, transforming into a gigantic blood-red arm that furiously grabbed at the vortex that seemed to devour the heavens and the earth.

"Heaven has unleashed its killing intent, shifting stars and changing constellations!!"

Boom!--

Above the nine heavens, all the stars suddenly shone brightly. The Azure Dragon's seven constellations—Horn, Neck, Room, Heart, Tail, and Winnowing Basket—the Black Tortoise's seven constellations—Dipper, Ox, Girl, Void, Danger, Room, and Wall—the White Tiger's seven constellations and the Vermilion Bird's seven constellations—trembled together, emitting murderous intent!

In an instant, an astonishing spectacle appeared in the sky above the entire Shattered Heavenly Immortal Realm. After countless ages, countless High Antiquity stars shone brightly in the sky above the Shattered Heavenly Immortal Realm, even seeming to sink and approach, bringing a surge of pressure.

The vortex of Devil Qi, resembling the gaping maw of an abyss, trembled violently and collapsed inward. The Devil Venerable Moluo, whose Flesh and Blood and Primordial Spirit had merged into it, instantly felt an overwhelming force crushing down upon him, rendering him completely immobile and filled with utter horror.

"This is."

The last vestige of clarity in Lu Xiucheng's crazed eyes was rapidly disappearing, and he coldly transmitted his authoritative voice.

"A mere Earth Immortal's Devouring Heaven Technique, attempting to devour the heavens, is nothing more than a snake trying to swallow an elephant! The might of Heaven is vast and boundless!"

Countless starlight flashed violently; the Heavenly Star, also known as the Heavenly Heart, was enraged, and the power of the High Antiquity stars would also come to its aid.

Under this immense and unparalleled force, the vortex formed by the Devouring Heaven Immortal Technique immediately began to dissipate wildly, and the power and life force of the Devil Venerable Moluo's avatar within it were rapidly being lost.

With the Heavenly Fortune Hall so close at hand, this was something Mo Luo simply could not tolerate.

He wants the Heavenly Fortune Hall, he wants the Immortal Celestial Lineage, he wants to control the Heavenly Immortal Realm, and he wants to change the Ancient Realm's Heaven!

He wants it!

The Venerable One himself is here!

Boom!--

The vortex of Devil Qi suddenly exploded, swiftly piercing out a black light that, carrying the Heavenly Fortune Hong Lotus, crossed the Immortal King's Mansion at the speed of light in an instant, connecting with the magnificent Immortal Sect outside the Immortal King's Mansion.

A tall and imposing figure in black stepped into the Immortal Sect, surrounded by black light. He stood on the Heavenly Fortune Hong Lotus, which had transformed into Black Lotus Platform, and entered the Shattered Heavenly Immortal Realm.

The Demon Lord himself!

"The true form has descended! Demon Lord, have you gone mad!?"

Inside the Immortal King's Mansion, Qing Mingzi let out a terrified shout, realizing that the situation was extremely bad. He immediately transformed into azure energy and retreated swiftly!

An immense and terrifying pressure has spread from the Immortal Sect, sweeping across the entire wilderness!

The true form of the Demon Lord descended, his body radiating endless Devil Qi and black light. Instantly, the entire Shattered Heavenly Immortal Realm trembled violently, the earth cracked, mountains collapsed, and rivers changed course.

An incredibly powerful force of boundary energy descended upon him, and even the Heavenly Fortune Hong Lotus could not completely escape it.

Even the Black Lotus Platform cracked in that instant.

But at the same time, with a long howl from the Devil Venerable Moluo, a large number of Outer Domain Evil Cultivator who had entered the Shattered Heavenly Immortal Realm were fighting against cultivators from the Four Domains and Four Seas, but suddenly screamed in agony.

Their bodies and souls were devoured by the blessed tokens within their bodies, transforming into streams of strange blessed power that converged on the Black Lotus Platform beneath the Demon Lord's feet, causing the cracked Black Lotus Platform to suddenly close up.

Apart from a few cultivators like Huang Yun who escaped death, the vast majority of other cultivators became victims of the Demon Lord!

This is a way to ward off misfortune by borrowing good fortune!

The terrifying suppression from the Shattered Heavenly Immortal Realm eased immediately.

In that brief moment, Mo Luo's body merged into the black light and rushed into the Immortal King's Mansion at the speed of light.

He was willing to risk the collapse of the Great Dao to forcibly seize the Heavenly Fortune Hall.

If he only needs to seize the Heavenly Fortune Hall, the Shattered Heavenly Immortal Realm will no longer suppress him, and even the mad Heavenly Dao will find it difficult to do anything to him.

This is like playing with fire, a do-or-die situation!

The demon descended upon the Immortal King's Mansion in an instant amidst the black light, causing the surrounding ancient tribulation power to tremble violently, as if unable to withstand the terrifying pressure of the Great Dao emanating from it.

"A child destined for longevity!!"

Mo Luo's black hair danced wildly, revealing thick eyebrows that flew into his temples like eagle wings and sharp eyes. He glared angrily at the Longevity Dao Lord, stood on the Black Lotus Platform, and unleashed the immense pressure of the Great Dao, using the Devouring Heaven Immortal Technique once more!

"I will devour this heaven! No one can stop me!"

Boom!--

An even more powerful vortex of Devil Qi was released from between Mo Luo's fingers, spreading instantly and ignoring the blood arm that had shattered the avatar, swallowing it whole, and then directly engulfing Lu Xiucheng and the Heavenly Fortune Hall behind him.

"Brother Lu Dao!"

Qu Shenzong let out a long howl.

Blood tears streamed from Lu Xiucheng's eyes, the last glimmer of clarity in them was completely extinguished by madness, and his entire being suddenly dissolved, his body dissolving into the Heavenly Dao Blood.

The soul dissolves, transforming into the soul of the Heavenly Dao.

The gods dissolved, transforming into the will of Heavenly Dao.

The force dissolves, transforming into boundless Immortal Celestial Dao Power.

The Longevity Dao Lord once aspired to live as long as the heavens, but now, with his own weak will, he has shaken the mighty will of the Heavenly Dao.

This technique is called Qi Tian!

In that instant, the seven constellations of the White Tiger in the west, Kui, Lou, Wei, Mao, Bi, Zi, and Shen, which exuded the strongest killing intent, seemed to blaze with light, just like a bright white tiger radiating light.

The heavens have a murderous intent!

Mo Luo's expression suddenly froze as he sensed an immense and terrifying threat descending upon him, and he faintly felt a vast and terrifying pressure.

The divine technique Devouring Heaven that he unleashed, including himself, was as if he were in a frozen world, unable to advance an inch, as if what blocked his way were seven High Antiquity killing stars, the killing intent of the heavens!

An incomparably strong threat to his life accompanied this intense killing intent, causing even his Dao to tremble.

In the boundless Outer Heaven the heavens, the Heavenly Dao, which had been in a deep slumber since time immemorial, was suddenly awakened by this frenzied killing intent and rage.

This awakening was even more thorough, more frantic, and more capable of shaking the utterly emotionless and cold heart of heaven that had been transformed into the Dao.

Now--

Tianxin is furious, furious, furious!!

And this Demon Lord before them, then—

Die!

Die!

Die!--

Boom! A vast and incomparable frenzied will, carrying boundless rage, swept down.

Like a blinding and raging sun, it overshadowed all the starlight.

The Demon Lord trembled instantly, as if he were being crushed by the heavens, and his mind went completely blank.

A powerful will merged into the mass of power that Lu Xiucheng had transformed into, forming a hazy yet enormous arm filled with terrifying pressure.

The moment this ancient arm appeared, the surrounding tribulation forces seemed to retreat in terror, and the entire Immortal King's Mansion trembled.

Heavenly Fortune Hall, Heavenly Destiny Hall, Heavenly Longevity Hall.

A magnificent, illusory image appeared, projected onto this ancient arm.

This is the power of Heavenly Dao!

The arm grew increasingly clear and solid, slowly reaching out to grab the demon.

Boom!--

Even the divine technique of Devouring Heaven couldn't swallow a single arm of the Heavenly Dao; the vortex collapsed with a roar before it even made contact with that arm.

Mo Luo's black hair danced wildly, blood gushing from his mouth. His heart trembled violently, and the Black Lotus Platform beneath his feet cracked again under the terrifying pressure. Even the power of his entire body was rapidly declining.

"The Manifestation of Heavenly Dao!!"

His face showed extreme fear, but his eyes also held an intense resentment and defiant anger.

"So what if the heavens awaken? I will defy the heavens today!!"

Demon Luo's eyes unleashed a boundless demonic intent, defying the heavens. He abandoned the path of the Earth Immortal Path and unleashed the power of the Devilish Immortal Way. His hands were enveloped in pure Dao power as he ripped something apart with a fierce blow.

"Devil Moon!"

Click!

A crescent-shaped crack, like a black moon, suddenly appeared in front of him the moment he pulled his hands apart. Behind the crack was a Life Force, dark land, filled with Devil Qi energy, like a hell on earth, from which an incomparably powerful force of Dao was transmitted.

The Devil Moon was silent and stealthy, yet it devoured everything in an instant, not even the surrounding tribulation power could escape, and was completely consumed.

The Devil Moon suddenly spun, the crescent moon seemingly transforming into a full moon in an instant, crashing into the ancient arm that was pressing down with immense force.

Click!

A deep black moon mark was instantly branded into the palm print of the ancient arm.

The arrogance on Mo Luo's face intensified, but before he could become even more rampant, an even more powerful pressure and killing intent were released from this ancient arm. Even between the palm lines, a picture of the heavens appeared, each palm line being a galaxy.

Holding the Milky Way in my hands, the heavens are boundless!

At that moment, his arms seemed infinitely large, and his palms pushed out with unparalleled force.

The black moon trembled violently for a moment, then quickly closed up and collapsed. The dark earth behind the crack also shook violently in an instant, giving birth to a huge crack.

"Wow--"

Mo Luo coughed up a mouthful of blood, and his perfect demonic body instantly split open from his face to his chest, revealing a shocking crack. Blood gushed out and splashed onto the Black Lotus Platform, causing even more cracks to appear beneath his feet.

His path was actually cracked in this direct clash.

As the ancient arm continued to reach out with slow yet suffocating force, his body felt as if it were under an endless sky, with nowhere to escape. The intense pressure felt as if it would crush him and cause him to explode.

A powerful sense of terror finally welled up in Mo Luo's heart.

"Buddha Guai!! Help me out!"

"Phoenix Cry Dao Venerable! Quickly block this arm of Heavenly Dao for me!"

He suddenly roared wildly in his mind.

Despite numerous contingency plans, it seems the moment has finally come when they must be revealed.

Fortunately, he still has many tricks up his sleeve, and he is still confident of victory; he has not yet suffered a complete defeat.

He wanted to win by half a move against fate.
