"That Spirit Transformation stage aura... it's him?! It's actually him!!"

The moment Feng Qi sensed that familiar aura within the Spirit Transmutation Spiritual Might, his expression changed, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Over the past few decades, he has long since recovered from his injuries and has found a way to escape from this desperate situation.

However, considering that the outer realms had already been defeated, even if they left the Desolate Land, they would be trapped in the Shattered Heavenly Immortal Realm and unable to escape. Therefore, they stayed in the Desolate Land, attempting to use it as a trap to fight to the death with any enemy who dared to invade.

He had imagined countless times that a powerful enemy would pursue him into the perilous place, the most likely of whom would be the Longevity Sect Leader.

Now that the Longevity Sect Leader has truly arrived, he never expected that in just Jiazi, this Longevity Sect Leader would already be Spirit Transformation cultivator.

"How is this possible? Could it be some kind of bluffing smokescreen?"

Feng Qi's heart pounded wildly, filled with shock and uncertainty.

Just then, Chen Dengming's authoritative and calm voice came from outside the perilous place.

"Phoenix Cry Dao Child, now that I'm here, you should come out on your own; that way you'll suffer less."

"I don't care if you're faking it or not."

Feng Qi suddenly gritted his teeth, his expression gradually returning to calm.

Whether the Longevity Sect Leader was bluffing or not was no longer important. Since the other party had already arrived, they would certainly not let him go, so the only option was to fight to the death.

The methods he has devised over the years may well have been designed for Spirit Transformation cultivators.

With the power of this absolute power, even a Spirit Transformation cultivator wouldn't find it so easy to take his life.

He suddenly made a series of hand seals, then slowly opened his hands, like a peacock spreading its tail feathers, and clusters of blazing Phoenix True Fire appeared in the void.

As he devoutly clasped his hands together in a gesture of prayer and worship, the Phoenix True Fire floating beside him instantly burned like offerings, emitting thick smoke. His figure soared into the air, transforming into a circle of fire that spread in all directions.

The next moment, Feng Qi seemed to transform into a giant fireball, hovering high in the air, scorching the surrounding mountains and land. Heat waves rose from the ground, and bursts of scorching fire and burning light shot down from Feng Qi's body.

Long--

Choke!--

The entire Blade Forest Tomb was violently shaken, and surging flames began to swirl and swirl from the bottom up.

The intense flames seemed to quickly clothe the mountain peaks in vibrant red.

A few breaths later, not only did the fierce aura of the mountain peaks intensify, but it also added an intense heat.

Not only that, but a faint power of Incense and Faith gradually spread from this continuous mountain range, forming an extremely powerful force.

"Longevity Sect Leader, if you want to capture me, Feng Qi, you'd better see if you have the ability to break through my Nirvana Great Formation."

Feng Qi's clear, melodious voice, like the cry of Phoenix Cry, emanated from the continuous, blazing firelight below.

"The Nirvana Great Formation?"

Outside the Blade Forest Tomb, the Starfall Old Ghost beside Chen Dengming was startled. Witnessing the terrifying power below, the Ghost Soul trembled, thankful that he hadn't rashly gone in to commit suicide.

"Don't worry, Old Ghost, even if you do go in, Feng Qi won't put up this kind of show of force against you. His injuries have already healed, and he's not afraid of you."

Chen Dengming chuckled softly, his figure floating in mid-air, his eyes fixed on the Blade Forest Tomb below, which had become a sea of fire and a mountain of knives, his expression strange.

"This Feng Qi does have some skill; he's managed to set up such a formidable array, the Nirvana Great Formation. It seems to have brought this place, which was originally just a trap, back to life, restoring some or even a fraction of its former power..."

Originally, he only intended to subdue the enemy without fighting, by Spirit Transmutation Spiritual Might, so that Feng Qi would leave the perilous place and surrender on his own.

He didn't need to personally enter this once-desolate place where immortals and celestial beings clashed to capture people.

Secondly, he also speculated that Phoenix Cry Dao Child's years of being trapped in this place might not necessarily mean he was truly unable to leave; he might be plotting something.

To his surprise, he was right. Feng Qi was indeed prepared and was able to cleverly use the power of the formation to leverage the power of the perilous place to repel the enemy.

This is indeed a good approach.

If it were Feng Qi's own power, it would naturally be far from enough.

However, if the deadly land were to be revived, and some of the abilities of the gods and immortals of yesteryear were to reappear, even Chen Dengming would have to be cautious.

Fortunately, he didn't rush in, otherwise he would have already suffered a devastating blow after the resurgence of the crisis.

"Longevity Sect Leader, why haven't you come in yet? Is this all you've got? Your Spirit Transmutation Spiritual Might is just a bluff!"

Inside the Blade Forest Tomb, Feng Qi's provocative voice echoed once more.

At this moment, despite his provocative words, Feng Qi was also extremely nervous and uneasy, as if facing a formidable enemy.

Even with the forced activation of the Nirvana Great Formation and the manipulation of the Blade Forest Tomb, it couldn't be maintained for long.

Most importantly, the reason why Blade Forest Tomb could be mobilized was mainly due to the traces of faith power that he had gradually built up over the years by slowly offering Phoenix True Fire to worship the Immortal Way.

By harnessing the power of these Incense and Faith, he can then use the power of the grand formation to pry open the perilous land of the Blade Forest Tomb.

However, even this small amount of Incense and Faith could not make the ancient immortals' battle swords sealed in the Blade Forest Tomb break out of the ground and launch an attack against the enemy; they could only passively defend.

He wouldn't have been so aggressive if he wasn't unsure of Chen Dengming's strength and feared that the opponent might suddenly attack and deny him a chance to set up his formation.

But now, he's worried that Chen Dengming might not actually come in.

Outside the Blade Forest Tomb, Chen Dengming, a man skilled at manipulating people's hearts, saw through Feng Qi's thoughts at a glance and smiled calmly.

"So your name is Feng Qi. I must say, you're far inferior to Huang Yun. Since you don't want to come out, I have plenty of ways to make you!"

Upon hearing this, Feng Qi, who was inside the Blade Forest Tomb, was immediately filled with shame and anger, and he hated it most when others said that he was inferior to Huang Yun.

However, almost as soon as this hatred and resentment were born in his heart, his mind was ignited by this fire of hatred and resentment, which instantly spread throughout his entire mental world.

"Ah!--"

An overwhelming fire of jealousy engulfed Feng Qi, twisting his mind and causing him unbearable pain.

He could no longer maintain his command of the Formation. His eyes turned bloodshot, and his chest felt like it was filled with raging jealousy. His figure involuntarily began to fly out of the Blade Forest Tomb, and he roared.

"Huang Yun!"

Outside the Blade Forest Tomb, Chen Dengming's eyes were filled with a mysterious, cold Silver Light, and the phantom of the Human Heart Hall appeared in his eyes.

At the entrance of the palace, a flame flickered and swayed, and the hideous face that emerged from the flame was none other than Feng Qi.

Almost the instant Feng Qi's jealousy flared up, Chen Dengming had already invaded the depths of Feng Qi's mind through the Heart Fire of the Human Heart Hall, amplifying his jealousy and causing him to lose his mind and rush out of the Blade Forest Tomb on his own.

At this moment, Feng Qi roared and charged out of the Blade Forest Tomb, regarding Chen Dengming as an enemy he wanted to tear to pieces. The instant his hands formed a hand seal, he swung them fiercely.

Boom!--

The Phoenix True Fire in front of him, which had shrunk to a size of one, transformed into dazzling blue and white flames, soaring into the sky and forming a swirling pillar of flames several dozen feet high, which raged toward Chen Dengming.

The extremely high temperature instantly ignited the air, making it incredibly stuffy and sweltering, causing an unbearable itching sensation on the skin.

Chen Dengming smiled calmly, casually stretched out his hand, and Silver Light burst forth from his palm as the Human Immortal Way Power rapidly condensed.

Spirit Devouring Technique!

Instantly, several hundred feet ahead appeared as if a huge, deep pool had collapsed, as if an invisible hand was grabbing at it, causing all the wildly swirling blue and white flames to be frantically compressed and contracted inward.

Feng Qi's figure was also unable to resist falling into the crazy suction vortex, as if he was about to fall into Chen Dengming's Five Finger Mountain, and be sucked and crushed by the crazy pressure of this shattering and surging force.

In the face of life-or-death crisis, Feng Qi finally regained his senses and realized that he had already escaped the Blade Forest Tomb. He was filled with despair and endless despondency.

He had meticulously prepared for decades, believing that even a Nascent Spirit Transformation cultivator would have to pay a price to defeat him.

Unexpectedly, before Chen Dengming even entered the trap he had set, he had already walked right into the snare.

A strong sense of resentment and anger surged into Feng Qi out a long, mournful howl, and the power within his body, along with his Nascent Soul Divine Soul, boiled and burned. The flames on his body instantly turned from blue-white to blazing white.

Instantly, terrifying high temperatures broke through the Spirit Devouring Technique and spread in all directions. Divine fire that could burn stone and melt gold erupted forth, the forest dried up and lost its water, the earth rapidly turned into sand, and in the blink of an eye, it melted into a scorching, boiling magma.

Chen Dengming frowned, his hand clenched tightly, and the domineering Human Immortal Way Power within the Spirit Devouring Technique tore through the air and surged forth like a raging torrent crashing down a cliff.

The intense heat and flames that spread out had barely reached his side when they were directly absorbed by his Dao Body, making Chen Dengming's face glow.

"Your body!?"

Feng Qi stared wide-eyed in disbelief, sensing a familiar aura of the Phoenix Dao Fire emanating from Chen Dengming.

Even though this aura was extremely faint, it was incredibly pure, even purer than the Phoenix True Blood flowing through his body, which he found unbelievable.

Just as he was in shock, his body was instantly burned to ashes, leaving only his Nascent Soul Divine Soul and a ball of blood radiating dazzling Golden Light, still engulfed in white waves of flames. A rich aura of Incense and Faith was born from the boiling white flames around him.

"Hmm? He actually sacrificed himself?"

Chen Dengming's expression hardened slightly.

The next moment, the entire Blade Forest Tomb trembled violently, and an astonishing sword aura suddenly erupted from within the Blade Forest Tomb, which resembled a mountain of knives and a sea of fire.

Boom!--

The entire forest shook in the sudden, intense flames, and the earth seemed to tremble.

Suddenly, two mountain peaks abruptly rose from the ground, rocks violently breaking off amidst the flames, unleashing two incredibly powerful and terrifying sword energies that shattered the void, emitting a crimson light as they rubbed against the air, radiating dazzling brilliance, and slashing down towards Chen Dengming.

This was a magical Law Treasure of the immortals of old, its power immeasurable. Before the blade even arrived, astonishing celestial marks appeared in the Sky Dome.

Before Chen Dengming could even react, Starfall Old Ghost screamed in terror.

The Little Array Spirit immediately warned them to be careful.

"It's alright!"

Chen Dengming said confidently and coldly, his body suddenly expanding rapidly, the giant deer letting out a joyful cry, and then he used his power to intimidate others.

But in the next instant, the giant deer's eyes bulged out from the constant growth of Chen Dengming's body, and it hurriedly transformed rapidly, its Giant Deer Mage Robe growing larger and larger.

In a mere instant, a terrifying giant over sixty feet tall revealed its magnificent and domineering figure, exuding a chilling aura. It raised its arm, which resembled a pillar supporting the sky, and unleashed a powerful punch!

A deafening explosion rang out!

The two enormous and astonishing sword energies instantly collapsed and shattered.

The scattered sword energy was directly wiped out.

The arm, still surging with terrifying force as it rubbed against the air, crashed down like a massive, collapsing bridge onto the two large swords whose blades had been revealed after the collapse of the sword energy.

"Clang--"

Two more thunderous metallic clangs rang out, and the flames in the air were extinguished simultaneously by the violent shockwave.

Two large swords flew out with tremendous force, crashing to the ground, splitting the mountain peak, causing the ground to collapse, and exploding into two mushroom clouds that created violent shockwaves.

Feng Qi's Nascent Soul Divine Soul melted away in the flames, witnessing in horror the magnificent giant amidst the chaotic energy and clamor, utterly dejected and powerless.

At that moment, Chen Dengming raised his hand and grabbed again.

A violent, suffocating pressure descended upon them.

The sky seemed to darken instantly.

Feng Qi, along with the flames surrounding him, was quickly compressed and shrank, falling into the giant grasping hand.

The Phoenix True Fire, capable of incinerating all things, transformed into a calm and peaceful vortex of flames upon contact with the giant hand, unable to melt through the thick, luminous palm that resembled porcelain-white jade.

"You're willing to sacrifice the Phoenix True Fire and sell yourself for the power of the Immortal Way. You, this so-called Phoenix Cry Dao Child, are nothing more than this."

A voice as powerful as a resounding bell shook the void and entered Feng Qi's heart.

Amidst the crimson sky painted by the raging flames, Chen Dengming looked down, his two bright, star-like eyes locking onto Feng Qi, bringing a powerful shock and impact.

But all of this shock and impact pales in comparison to the immense humiliation and damage caused by Chen Dengming's words at that moment.

"You lack the purity and pride a phoenix should possess. A proud person wouldn't do anything shameful. You should just die sooner rather than later."

Feng Qi was filled with shame and indignation.

However, he was given almost no chance to react or even self-destruct his Nascent Soul.

Chen Dengming suddenly clasped his hands together.

Boom!

The Phoenix True Fire, like a small flame, was extinguished by the giant hand.

The powerful firepower, along with the dazzling Golden Light Phoenix True Blood, flowed into the palm lines of Chen Dengming's hand, drawn by the attraction of his Dao body, forming golden lines that flashed and then quickly disappeared.

With a casual wave of his hand, Chen Dengming sent the pure Soul Power and Nascent Soul Power that Feng Qi had just crushed surging towards the Soul House where the Little Array Spirit was located, making Giant Deer and Starfall Old Ghost Xingluo drool with envy.

This is the Nascent Soul Power of a Nascent Soul Perfection expert, which would be a great tonic for them.

"Thank you, fellow Daoist."

The Little Array Spirit bowed and greeted the crowd with a smile.

She neither rejected nor pitied the pure Soul Power brought by this enemy.

They're all seasoned foxes, no one's playing the ghost story game. To get to where they are today, no one would be swayed by sentimentality.

Chen Dengming nodded slightly, his gaze falling on the two massive swords that were now swaying and hanging below.

Seeing that the two large swords were gradually emanating a vast and powerful force of Incense and Faith, he couldn't help but look solemn and puzzled.

"The accumulated Incense Dao power of the immortals of yesteryear...? These two great swords truly are divine Divine Weapon of the immortals of yesteryear..."

He frowned slightly, sensing a strong threat from the overwhelming power of the Incense and Faith.

Suddenly raising his enormous hand, his five fingers spread wide as he reached out to grab, the entire Sky Dome seemed to be torn apart like a giant curtain, creating violent folds.

The next moment, the Sky Dome curtain seemed to be torn apart by his five fingers, which were filled with the Immortal Celestial Dao Power, revealing five ropes interwoven with blue and green light.

As the rope rapidly undulated and spread, it transformed into thirty-six interwoven strands forming a massive, all-encompassing net that fiercely enveloped the two great swords that had once again soared into the sky.

Heavenly Net!

Divine Blade!

After a High Antiquity era, the Heavenly Net of the Heavenly Immortal Way finally clashed fiercely with the Divine Blade of the Immortal Way once more...

Although I'm not fully recovered, I was discharged from the hospital today. I just need to take some medication and I'll be fine. This way, I can write more easily at home and keep everyone entertained by the plot. In the end, I managed to get through it without taking leave.
