Precursor to the Great Tribulation! Senior Sister's Sacrifice! Eradicate Devils

Forty-three years have passed, and the change in the heavens, though delayed, has finally arrived, confirming the result that Chen Dengming had predicted in his Heaven's Will.

Initially, this catastrophe began to emerge in mortal kingdoms and Gathering Place low-level cultivators.

Many ordinary people suddenly felt unwell, experiencing difficulty breathing, or feeling cold and losing vital energy; many of the elderly were the first to die.

Then, many Qi Cultivation Cultivators in the low-level cultivator Gathering Place also experienced the same situation, with some even dying during their cultivation.

After this situation occurred on a large scale, it immediately attracted the attention of the Longevity Sect and the Tiandao Sect, who had always been concerned about unusual phenomena in the world.

When the two sects joined forces with the Shu Sword Pavilion and many other sects to launch an investigation, an even more serious situation began to emerge: the Spirit Vein in various places began to show signs of depletion and decline.

Furthermore, meteor showers began to fall frequently from the sky, especially in the Longevity Dao Domain, where the situation was most severe, resulting in casualties among mortals and low-level Rogue Cultivator in many places. The Thirteen Peaks of Longevity even had to activate their Mountain Protecting Formation, and disciples within the sect reduced their outings.

The outer edge of the Outer Heaven Realm, near the Shattered Heavenly Immortal Realm.

A massive amount of broken meteorites, like fire piercing through the clouds, swept in with overwhelming force, engulfing people.

Chen Dengming's figure floated here, blocking the numerous meteorites falling downwards with tremendous force.

His eyes shimmered with a deep blue light, and as he spread his hands, his sleeves billowed and danced, instantly releasing a suppressed and somber aura that spread in all directions.

The numerous meteorites that fell from all directions and over a thousand miles away were instantly plunged into a swamp, creating shockwaves.

The air and clouds seemed to suddenly solidify, like clumps of cotton carrying a rain of falling stones.

Heavenly Immortal Dao Domain!

"Broken!"

Chen Dengming gave a low shout.

Instantly, a powerful will spread in all directions, the moment he clenched his fists.

A series of violent and earth-shattering roars exploded in the air, like rolling thunder echoing in all directions.

Within a radius of thousands of miles, the meteorites that had been caught in the blast exploded one after another, as if a magnificent fireworks display had suddenly erupted in the sky, which was close to the Outer Heaven.

The massive meteorites shattered into tiny fragments, which then fell back down, only to be bombarded and blown away by the Spirit Thunder Layer and Spiritual Qi Wind Layer below, thus posing no further threat.

From the distant ground below, Chen Dengming's large-scale attack seemed to have eerily brightened the deep night sky.

It was as if the night had instantly transitioned into dawn; the deep blue sky shed its veil of light, revealing the vast expanse of Sky Dome with its clear, radiant glow.

Many mountain peaks, buildings, and trees peeked out from the soft, milky-white twilight.

But then, a violent and continuous roar that stretched for thousands of miles arrived late, like ten thousand chariots, causing the heavens and earth to tremble. Many living beings and cultivators thousands or even tens of thousands of miles away were shocked and uneasy.

High in the sky, the intense Cyan Light in Chen Dengming's eyes faded slightly, and a hint of fatigue appeared on his face.

He gazed at the fiery rain falling from the sky in all directions. This seemingly magnificent spectacle was actually a sign of the Shattered Heavenly Immortal Realm's defeat and demise, and perhaps also a premonition of the complete decline of the Ancient Realm.

Fortunately, after a violent collapse of the barrier, the storm gradually subsided, and the number of meteorites began to decrease.

If things continue like this, the Shattered Heavenly Immortal Realm can hold on for a while longer.

At this moment, Su Yan Yan, whose face looked slightly haggard, suddenly flew over from not far away and reminded him, "Junior Brother, the Spiritual Qi in many places is now depleted, and the Spirit Vein are showing signs of drying up and declining... We have collected some of the special aura that causes discomfort to mortals and low-level cultivators, and are waiting for the sect's pharmacist to examine it..."

A glint flashed in Chen Dengming's eyes as he said with his hands behind his back, "I have observed that even the Immortal Spiritual Energy within the Shattered Heavenly Immortal Realm is beginning to show signs of accelerated decline."

Although the Immortal Spiritual Energy had been declining since High Antiquity times, it was only during the Eternal Great Tribulation that the rate of decline reached a terrifying level, leading to a decline in Spiritual Qi throughout the entire Cultivation World...

Now, the Immortal Spiritual Energy is showing signs of accelerating its decline again, and all indications suggest that Eternal Great Tribulation is about to occur...

As he spoke, a faint gray aura appeared in his palm as he made a hand seal.

"This is the gas that appeared in the Human World, the source of the physical discomfort caused to mortals and a large number of low-level cultivators..."

Su Yan Yan stared at the gray aura and nodded. "So you've already investigated it yourself, Junior Brother. That's right, it is indeed this gas..."

"This isn't the power of calamity, but rather a unique aura formed from Death Qi and resentment..."

Chen Dengming's eyes showed a strange look as he pondered, "I suspect that this aura is formed from the ghostly energy within the Ghost Realm and the accumulated resentment of the Human World..."

If this aura is allowed to accumulate and develop for some time, it will likely transform into a troublesome tribulation force, at which point even high-level cultivators will find it difficult to escape.

Even now, due to the appearance of this aura, it is gradually encroaching on the Spiritual Qi and breath in the air... It is highly corrosive and is rapidly growing stronger..."

"Exhalation" is the term used by cultivators in this world to refer to oxygen in the air.

For advanced cultivators, Spiritual Qi is essential, while exhaling is not absolutely necessary.

However, for a large number of low-level cultivators, as well as mortals and other living beings, exhaling is indispensable.

Once exhalation gradually decreases, the entire world will undergo earth-shattering changes, human life will become as insignificant as grass, and future life may also undergo special adaptive changes due to the drastic changes in the environment.

However, the reduction in exhalation is only the least threatening aspect compared to the decline of Spiritual Qi and the potential for calamity.

"Junior Brother... what should we do now? Do you have a plan?" Su Yan Yan looked at Chen Dengming.

Now she understands why Chen Dengming, even though he has become the number one Spirit Transformation cultivator in the Four Seas Four Regions, has continued to cultivate diligently all these years.

It turns out that Chen Dengming had foreseen this catastrophe.

Before this, she was still clueless and thought she had taken on a lot of responsibility for the other party in sect affairs. She even learned about the Dharma Gate she had once looked down on from her Nephew Disciple He for his sake. However, the other party kept to himself and became a hands-off manager.

It turns out that this Junior Brother actually carried a much heavier burden on his shoulders, yet he never uttered a single complaint.

"The situation today is somewhat different from what I predicted back then... At least it's only the prelude to a great calamity, and we still have time."

As Chen Dengming spoke, he turned to look at Su Yan Yan, meeting her pair of melancholy eyes behind her veil. She seemed to be lost in a daze, her slender and graceful body wrapped in a snow-white silk dress, her hair gently swaying as she looked away. He was momentarily stunned.

"Senior sister!?"

"Ah!"

Su Yan Yan reacted quickly, regaining her cool demeanor, but a blush still crept up her ears behind the veil due to the fluctuations in her emotions.

She subtly tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and said, "It Junior Brother you've already made preparations and have countermeasures, which puts my mind at ease. Is there anything I can do to help you?"

Chen Dengming gazed intently into the depths of Su Yan Yan's beautiful eyes, which were feigning composure. His intuition told him that Su Yan Yan was hiding something from him.

However, he didn't want to delve too deeply into his daughter's thoughts, so he simply said...

"The countermeasures are, for the time being, all very passive."

In short, let's do our best to prepare before the Eternal Great Tribulation arrives, for example... try every means to break through to the Dao Integration stage.

If one breaks through to the Dao Integration stage and develops their own Dao Domain, even if the Eternal Great Tribulation truly arrives, they can rely on their own Dao Domain to protect many people.

In short, Senior Sister, during this period, you only need to guard the sect.

"Another time, guarding the sect..."

For the first time, a hint of stubbornness appeared in Su Yan Yan's cold eyes. "I have learned from Senior Qu that you have a pact with the Living Buddha Venerable regarding a celestial change."

"You plan to join forces to eliminate the Buddha Guai, and I'd like to join you and lend a hand!"

"No!"

Without a second thought, Chen Dengming resolutely refused, his tone firm and unwavering.

Su Yan Yan's expression turned angry. "Why not? I once risked my life alongside you, and now that I've reached the Spirit Transformation, I can't fight alongside you anymore?"

A chilling glint flashed in Chen Dengming's eyes as he gazed into Su Yan Yan's deep, unfathomable eyes. He said, "This time is different. You know very well that the enemy we're facing is the Buddha Guai. I'm not confident either. This time, you have to listen to me."

Su Yan Yan refused to meet his gaze, turning away in annoyance. "Am I the senior sister or the Senior Brother? I listen to everything you say. When will you ever listen to me?"

Chen Dengming couldn't help but laugh. "After this, you can make me listen to whatever you want."

A triumphant smile, incongruous with her usual cool demeanor, appeared on Su Yan Yan's back as she turned away. "You said it yourself. So, before you leave this time, I want you to do one thing for me. After you do it, you can go. I won't go with you."

Chen Dengming's body trembled, and he realized that he had been tricked.

This senior sister was deliberately trying to get him to agree to this request; she wasn't really making a fuss about going with him.

What do you want me to do?

You'll see later.

Su Yan Yan gave a brief instruction, then her figure flew down, seemingly a little nervous, like a trembling shooting star drawing a curved arc of light across the sky.

Chen Dengming's eyes flickered slightly, and he blinked twice. Suddenly, he had a sudden realization, but was also somewhat stunned.

"Is Senior Sister really going to do this...?"

Thinking about this, he felt a bead of sweat on his forehead, and his mind became dizzy and hazy.

With his State of Mind, he had long been able to see through Su Yan Yan's intentions.

If he were truly disgusted, he would have avoided or resisted it long ago; he wouldn't have pretended to be oblivious until today.

Now, it seems that the aloof Su Yan Yan can no longer hold back and is about to take the initiative to break through the last layer of mystery.

"Never mind, never mind..."

Chen Dengming didn't dwell on it any longer. He gazed down at the receding figure and flew down to follow.

Sometimes, instead of getting caught up in the details, it's more enjoyable and carefree to do whatever you want without overstepping the bounds.

In the following days...

After the disaster situation in the sect and the entire Longevity Dao Domain stabilized somewhat, Chen Dengming planned to join forces with Dongfang Huayuan and Qu Shenzong again to go to the depths of the Western Myriad Mountains to find the Living Buddha Venerable and ask him to fulfill the agreement on the celestial change.

However, before demanding that the Living Buddha Venerable fulfill the covenant of the Heavenly Change, the unfortunate Old Deng must first fulfill his promise to his senior sister Su Yan Yan.

That evening.

A crescent moon rises in the deep sky above Longevity Peak, and drifting clouds move swiftly in the moonlight, dappling the mountainsides.

Outside Su Yan Yan's cave abode, a figure appeared stealthily and furtively amidst the mottled mountains.

Upon reaching the outside of the cave abode, the figure seemed hesitant and lingering, as if wanting to send a message inside but fearing to offend the beauty.

Inside the cave abode, Su Yan Yan was already nervously guarding the entrance Formation.

Upon seeing the figure suddenly appear in the night through the Formation, her heart skipped a beat.

Upon seeing the visitor's flustered state, he couldn't help but chuckle, and his initial tension dissipated considerably.

They're foxes who've lived for thousands of years. They may not have eaten pork, but they've seen pigs run. What haven't they seen? What's there to be nervous about?

She mentally rallied herself, summoned Sound Transmission Jade Talisman, and sent a message to He Yingyu, "Yingyu, he's already here, lurking outside, too scared to come in. It's ridiculous that he's showing this side of himself."

He Yingyu quickly transmitted her voice, "Martial Aunt Su, don't be fooled by his appearance. When he helped me with this, he pretended to be very honest and simple. I thought he really was honest and simple, but... humph, he has a lot of tricks up his sleeve."

Su Yan Yan was startled. "Then, what should I do? How do I deal with his tricks?"

He Yingyu couldn't help but chuckle, "Martial Aunt Su, my Supreme Elder."

You should subdue him using the methods I taught you; strike the snake at its vital point, so grab his vital spot.

Speaking of which, these methods were taught to me by Xu Wei back then, and I later perfected them. Now it's up to you to show your skills. You Divine Ability incredibly capable, so don't let this Old Deng it. He's so heavy-handed these days, I can hardly stand it anymore. I'll have to trouble you to teach him a lesson."

Having guarded his chastity for a thousand years, Su Yan Yan had never encountered such a fierce battle before. He immediately spat and put away the Sound Transmission Jade Talisman. The tension that had been suppressed rose again.

But at that moment, a sound came from outside the door indicating that the Formation had been activated.

She was going all out; her face flushed and burning hot, and her slender, graceful body immediately stood up Open Door.

Chen Dengming stood at the doorway, "Ahem, Senior Sister, the night is long, and you seem to have no desire to rest."

Su Yan Yan said irritably, "You're already here, stop being so sarcastic. Come in! Don't let anyone see you."

"This"

Chen Dengming felt awkward. He had been acting somewhat suspiciously and wanted to be more open, but his senior sister still made him sneak around.

Before he arrived, his wife He Yingyu's intriguing expressions and subtle hints had already revealed a great deal to him.

But facing Su Yan Yan, whom he greatly respected, Chen Dengming was sweating bullets. Before coming, he even changed out of the Giant Deer Mage Robe that might cause trouble.

However, he quickly regained his State of Mind and entered the room. Su Yan Yan also calmed down and personally brewed spiritual tea for Chen Dengming.

The delicate fragrance of the spiritual tea filled the room, and the two of them became increasingly calm. When their eyes met, there was a hint of shyness, but even more so, a sense of openness and confidence.

A unique atmosphere began to brew within this gentle and secluded environment.

After a cup of tea, Su Yan Yan gracefully rose, turned her back, and her white robes slid down as her belt loosened. "Your journey is fraught with danger. I simply wish to add to your strength and lend you a helping hand."

Chen Dengming gazed at that beautiful back, his heart filled with boundless tenderness. He felt a surge of Life Force within him, for life was so beautiful and radiant. No matter how dangerous his journey might be, he was determined to return safely.

Su Yan Yan turned her head and her whole body trembled as she met Chen Dengming's burning gaze. Her skin was fair with a rosy glow.

The moonlit night tonight feels especially gentle.

The interior, however, is like a furnace, melting people within it, and attracting boundless Spiritual Qi to fill and surround it. Yin and Yang are in harmony, like the rising and setting of the sun and moon. At this moment, life reveals its true meaning.

It was already dawn when it happened.

Chen Dengming, feeling refreshed and dressed in a blue robe, left Su Yan Yan's cave abode openly and honestly.

They happened to bump into Xing Huiguang, who was walking out of the cave abode not far away.

"Punishment"

Chen Dengming reached out to greet him, but Xing Huiguang seemed not to see him and turned around to go back into the cave abode, as if he had left something cave abode.

Chen Dengming was slightly taken aback, but then he could only continue flying away.

Inside the cave abode, Xing Huiguang leaned against the wall, and only after realizing that Chen Dengming had left did he breathe a sigh of relief. He then found it amusing and rather embarrassing.

He was naturally aware of what had happened in the cave abode next door yesterday.

Deep down, he was both happy for Su Yan Yan and Chen Dengming, and quite embarrassed, as he hadn't known how to greet them and had simply avoided them for the time being.

"We've been Senior Brother for hundreds, even thousands of years. It's understandable that we need time to adjust to this sudden change in our relationship. I'll offer my blessings after they officially start traveling together together again."

Upon returning to his cave abode, he was inevitably subjected to a barrage of questions and teasing from his wife He Yingyu.

Chen Dengming managed to smooth things over, and after a brief moment of tenderness, the two knew it was time to part ways.

The great change is imminent; eliminating the Buddha Guai and helping Dongfang Huayuan break through to the Dao is now of paramount importance.

Although He Yingyu was reluctant and worried, she still personally straightened Chen Dengming's clothes and saw him off from the sect.

Amidst the swirling clouds, He Yingyu stood gracefully, her hair fluttering in the wind, her beautiful eyes gazing tenderly at Chen Dengming. She said earnestly, "Don't worry, leave the sect to me. I'll take good care of it. You must come back safely."

"Um."

Chen Dengming smiled and nodded, took a step forward, and his figure disappeared into the five-colored Spiritual Qi.

Su Yan Yan was absolutely right when she said she would lend him a hand.

This Spirit Transformation senior sister must have learned a top-tier dual cultivation Cultivation Method from somewhere, and she has obviously studied it for a long time; it must be the He Yingyu knows.

Therefore, his cultivation level increased by more than 30% in just one night.

Su Yan Yan is at the early stage of the Spirit Transformation, so she will receive even greater benefits. It is estimated that she will break through to the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation soon.

For both parties, the first time is the most effective for this kind of practice, and then the effectiveness will be gradually reduced rapidly.

After his cultivation level increased by 30%, the foundation he had accumulated at the peak of the Nascent Spirit Transformation realm became even deeper, which would save him a lot of years of cultivation when he broke through to the Dao Integration realm in the future.

Soon.

Within the Myriad Mountains of the Western Regions.

Three beams of spiritual light descended simultaneously from different directions.

An incredibly oppressive atmosphere permeated the air; the branches swayed, the leaves rustled, and even the light seemed to dim.

"Venerable Buddha, the world has changed. Have you noticed? Does the agreement made during that time still stand?"

Chen Dengming's booming voice echoed through the mountains and forests, falling downwards.

Inside the ancient temple on the hill, the Buddha Venerable Putuo sighed, opened his eyes, and radiated bursts of Buddha Light.

At the same time, the Great Định Buddha Realm also began to ripple slightly.

A colossal Buddha head, resembling a mountain, emerges from the Buddhist realm, its majestic outline faintly visible, emanating a Buddhist chant as powerful as a resounding bell.

"Benefactor Chen is indeed a man of divine foresight. The world has changed; this is a harbinger of Eternal Great Tribulation. It is indeed difficult to continue the exorcism."

Chen Dengming landed, his gaze sharp and imposing. "If subduing the demon is impossible, then we must eliminate it completely!"
