The Immortal King's Mansion is located in the northwestern desert of the Shattered Heavenly Immortal Realm. It would not be difficult to excavate it entirely and send it away.

But the terrifying thing is that once the calamity energy in this hall erupts, Chen Dengming might die if he tries. Under the overwhelming Ancient Tribulation Qi and the frenzied Heavenly Dao Blood, even a Dao-merging cultivator would be covered in blood.

Chen Dengming leaped into the air and swiftly flew towards the Immortal King's Mansion, gradually making a decision in his mind.

"If left unattended, these two powder kegs may explode in the Shattered Heavenly Immortal Realm. Once the calamity spreads and Karma permeates the Heavenly Immortal Realm, I will be unable to escape being entangled in Karma, and it may even directly trigger Eternal Great Tribulation."

"Even if we handle it properly, these two powder kegs might still explode midway, causing a major disaster. But if we control them well, at least they won't affect the Dao Domain."

He had already come up with some plans that he was fairly confident about.

"Good fortune may be a harbinger of misfortune. First, use the Heavenly Fortune Qi to temporarily suppress the Ancient Tribulation Qi, then, through opportune Heavenly Timing and the means of 'Proximity to Heaven's End,' tear open the curtain and move the Immortal King's Mansion out."

"It's not necessarily the case that we have to take the path of the Outer Heaven. Otherwise, once the Ancient Tribulation Qi erupts, it will cause a chaotic war between the Heavenly Dao and the Divine Void, and I won't be able to stop it!"

While pondering, Chen Dengming had already flown to the sky above the Immortal King's Mansion, where he could feel the increasingly oppressive and restless Immortal King's Mansion below.

After a moment's hesitation, he immediately contacted Qu Shenzong and Dongfang Huayuan through the Human Heart Hall.

The next task is truly dangerous; it would be best to invite Qu Shenzong and Dongfang Huayuan to join forces.

Only by joining forces can the three great masters have a greater chance of success.

Upon receiving the invitation extended by Chen Dengming after he explained the situation, Dongfang Huayuan and Qu Shenzong readily accepted, feeling it was their duty.

The three had already made a decision to support each other and stand as a tripartite power.

Now that everyone has aligned themselves with the Dao, this win-win-win relationship has been maintained.

Before long, the two arrived together at the Shattered Heavenly Immortal Realm.

Now Chen Dengming is the Dao Lord of the Shattered Heavenly Immortal Realm. Although some areas are still under his refinement and control, he is able to protect the Qu Shenzong and Dongfang Huayuan within the realm, preventing them from being excluded.

"Well done, young Chen. Only half a Jiazi has passed, and you've already achieved Dao Integration without a word, and you've even begun to lay the foundation for your Dao. We are among the first guests to visit your Dao Domain. Congratulations!"

Dongfang Huayuan Chen Dengming, laughed heartily, and gave him a thumbs up.

"Don't get too excited yet; I wouldn't dare accept your congratulations."

Chen Dengming shook his head and pointed to the Immortal King's Mansion, saying, "It was precisely during the process of laying the foundation for my Dao that I encountered this trouble, which is why I asked the two of you to come and help me. If this problem isn't resolved, my Dao Domain will also be in great danger."

Qu Shenzong looked solemnly at the Immortal King's Mansion, Ancient Tribulation Qi was churning, and said, "It is indeed as you said. This Ancient Tribulation Qi is clearly very active and restless, and it is indeed a huge threat that must be dealt with."

Chen Dengming's face was frosty. He nodded and said in a deep voice, "I plan to tear open the curtain leading to the New Realm and then throw this Immortal King's Mansion over there."

Even if the Ancient Tribulation Qi erupts and ignites the Heavenly Dao Blood, being so far away in the outer realms, the Heavenly Dao Blood will have little chance of directly stimulating the Heavenly Dao, and the Ancient Tribulation Qi will be unable to affect the Ancient Realm.

"That is indeed a solution."

Qu Shenzong nodded, then his eyebrows furrowed again, "But you may still underestimate this Ancient Tribulation Qi."

This calamity has already given rise to Karma, and most of it is Karma entangled with our Ancient Realm.

Even if you throw it outside the Ancient Realm, this Ancient Tribulation Qi could still cause various disasters and bring trouble to the Ancient Realm.

"That's true."

Dongfang Huayuan stroked his chin thoughtfully and said, "For example, your act of throwing the Immortal King's Mansion into the New Realm might provoke the Dao Venerable of the New Realm."

Originally, the Dao Venerable of the New Realm might not have been willing to infiltrate the Ancient Realm under the pressure of the Heavenly Dao and the Divine Void.

However, stimulated by this Ancient Tribulation Qi, even the Dao Venerable of the New Realm might be affected and irrationally begin to attack the Inner Domain.

If another war were to break out at that time, it would likely stimulate the calamity energy within the realm to grow and expand uncontrollably.

Chen Dengming frowned and said, "I had already thought of all of these things in my mind through mental calculation. But through mental calculation, I concluded that sending them out of the Immortal King's Mansion is an inevitable measure and the one that is most likely to minimize the damage."

"If we don't do this, the Shattered Heavenly Immortal Realm and I will bear all the risks of the Ancient Tribulation Qi and the eruption of the mad Heavenly Dao Blood."

Chen Dengming paused, "And once the Heavenly Dao goes mad again, and the Shattered Heavenly Immortal Realm is once again filled with Ancient Tribulation Qi, the resulting chain reaction will be Eternal Great Tribulation that could arrive in an instant, sweeping across the world. This is no longer a threat to me alone!"

Qu Shenzong nodded solemnly, "What you said is also correct, and the possibility is very high."

Since we're facing the same fate whether we stick our necks out or not, we should indeed take the knife and throw it away.

As for whether it will rebound and hit us in the end, that's a question for another day after we've fought it out. It's better than sitting and waiting to die!

"Good!"

Dongfang Huayuan laughed heartily, his eyes gleaming as he crossed his arms and said, "I don't like sitting and waiting to die, so let's fight! At worst, the three of us will fight the New Realm Dao Venerable! We've fought the Dao Integration Realm before when we were at the Nascent Spirit Transformation!"

Chen Dengming rolled his eyes inwardly, knowing that this brute might suddenly get carried away and think about things like old men hanging themselves, so he quickly stopped him from getting carried away.

"If we can avoid provoking the Dao Venerable, we should try our best to avoid it."

A powerhouse at this level has lived for nearly ten thousand years; their methods are unknown. Even if we can avoid them and protect ourselves, the countless beings of the Ancient Realm will not escape them!

Qu Shenzong, "That's right, we can't act rashly. Every move we three make could affect the Ancient Realm and have a huge impact."

Chen Dengming nodded, "So I plan to first locate an uninhabited area in the New Realm, and then send the Immortal King's Mansion there. This will both avoid harming innocent people and prevent attracting the attention of the New Realm Dao Venerable."

The New Realm is the entire universe, vast and boundless. Finding an uninhabited area to exile the Immortal King's Mansion there wouldn't be difficult.

This would also prevent such destabilizing factors from being detonated in the Ancient Realm, a place so small yet teeming with countless lives, which would have resulted in widespread devastation.

Qu Shenzong nodded, "You're reliable. Do whatever you want; we'll both fully cooperate with you!"

"I'll force the curtain to fall right now!"

Chen Dengming nodded solemnly, then, without further hesitation, raised his hand and pressed down.

Instantly, the clouds and Spiritual Qi in the sky rapidly converged, spreading a boundless spiritual power, as if transforming into a giant hand containing intense Dao power, pressing down fiercely into the void.

The Heavenly Human Dao Law!

Boom!--

The void suddenly twisted and vibrated violently, revealing a large, turbulent membrane of light.

The instant the light membrane appeared, countless dense pupils instantly appeared in Chen Dengming's eyes, locking onto the large screen and witnessing the various images and massive amounts of information displayed within the screen amidst its rapid fluctuations.

Rumble!--

A huge celestial disc appeared behind Chen Dengming, rotating to correspond to the position of the Heavenly Heart Star, Open Door.

A massive influx of information, locked onto by countless eyes, flooded into his mind.

He used to feel immense pressure even when his mind was racing, but now he can handle it with ease.

Chen Dengming quickly locked onto a desolate, cold starry sky in the background, and his Celestial Person hand swiftly pressed down.

With a deafening roar, the curtain distorted and rippled inwards, then suddenly collapsed to its limit under the influence of a Heavenly Fortune Qi, bursting open abruptly.

Click!

A large crack suddenly appeared in the curtain.

With his other hand, Chen Dengming swiftly formed a hand seal, unleashing the Divine Ability of "reaching the Proximity to Heaven's End." In an instant, his Dao power pierced through the crack in the curtain, projecting towards the other side and forming a passage connecting the two realms.

As soon as the passage stabilized, it began to slowly close, like a constantly fluctuating silver portal. On the other side of the portal was a wildly fluctuating spacetime passage and a vast, cold starry sky, emanating chills and strong suction.

Compared to the tedious and strenuous process of breaking through the curtain in the past, it was much easier for Chen Dengming to do so now.

However, while it's easy to break down the curtain, maintaining the stability of the gate is extremely difficult.

Chen Dengming felt as if the ever-repairing curtain was two Dao Integration Great Power vying with him, trying to crush and collapse the passage he had created, and his own Dao power was being continuously and violently depleted.

Even with his current strength, he is struggling to withstand this rate of consumption and will soon have to use the power of his Dao Domain.

Dongfang Huayuan and Qu Shenzong were also surprised to see Chen Dengming easily break through the curtain.

But seeing the curtain closing, the two quickly took action, each using their own power to help Chen Dengming stabilize the curtain's portal.

With the help of Dongfang Huayuan and Qu Shenzong, Chen Dengming felt much more at ease and was able to withdraw his own Dao power.

Looking at the portal, which was only the size of a person, he sighed and said, "It's not about breaking through the curtain at its weakest point. Breaking through is easy, but maintaining the stability of the portal is very difficult."

"Next, you will maintain the stability of the portal. After I deliver it to the Immortal King's Mansion, you will work with me to tear this portal open to a larger entrance."

Dongfang Huayuan body shrouded in silver Dao power, was almost drawing upon the power of the Southern Seeking Dao Domain. Upon hearing this, he impatiently said, "Hurry up and stop rambling."

Chen Dengming nodded, quickly looked towards the Immortal King's Mansion, and then his entire body gathered his Dao power. With a hand seal, the surrounding wind and thunder roared, and his body rapidly swelled into Ancient Human Immortal Physique over a hundred feet tall. His rough skin stretched out, and amazing purple arcs of electricity jumped on the surface of his skin.

Driven by his personal aura, the Sky Dome above changed color, and the clouds gathered rapidly like dragons and snakes, forming a terrifying, magnificent, and enormous Dharma image that was tens of thousands of feet tall.

We can leverage human power to harness the power of nature, and use the power of nature to draw upon human power!

Condensing the Heavenly Human Dharma Appearance!

Chen Dengming seemed to transform into a silver giant mountain over a hundred feet tall, with a magnificent giant image of tens of thousands of feet tall reaching into the clouds surrounding his body, and suddenly touched the center of his brow.

The Heavenly Prison transformed into a ball of light, tinged with purple within its blue hue, and rapidly emerged, growing exponentially until it reached a size of several hundred feet.

As Chen Dengming unleashed his palm strike, his vast Dharma Image also swept across the sky, grabbing the Heavenly Prison and enveloping the Immortal King's Mansion.

The immense Ancient Tribulation Qi emanating above the Immortal King's Mansion seemed to be instantly stimulated, surging and spreading violently.

At the same time, a frenzied and oppressive aura emanated from the Immortal King's Mansion, and the Heavenly Dao Blood was boiling.

But before the Ancient Tribulation Qi and the mad Heavenly Dao Blood could erupt, the Heavenly Prison had already swiftly enveloped the entire Immortal King's Mansion.

Just as the immense Ancient Tribulation Qi was about to erupt, Chen Dengming let out a cold shout, and his ten-thousand-foot-tall Dharma Image suddenly raised its hand, swallowing the entire Heavenly Prison directly into its belly.

This Heavenly Prison was originally meant to imprison and confine all things, but now it was swallowed whole by Chen Dengming's imposing Dharma form.

The Heavenly Prison would then expand and grow, eventually engulfing and encompassing the entire Dharma Image.

But at that moment, the Dao power within the Dharma Image rapidly condensed into layers of Heavenly Net, which counteracted the Heavenly Prison layer upon Heavenly Prison. This not only prevented the Dharma Image from being swallowed by the Heavenly Prison, but the Heavenly Net also merged into the Heavenly Prison, continuously reinforcing Heavenly Prison.

This is also one of the techniques Chen Dengming has come up with over the years for controlling the Heavenly Prison.

Although he was not yet able to directly unleash the Heavenly Prison Divine Ability, his Dao power, through the Dao Domain, could already generate thirty-six layers of Heavenly Net, temporarily suppressing the Heavenly Prison's ability to imprison anything.

Once he can instantly activate 108 Heavenly Net, he can use them to condense into a Heavenly Prison.

At this moment, while the thirty-six Heavenly Net were restraining the Heavenly Prison, the Heavenly Fortune Hall had also appeared inside the Heavenly Prison with a large amount of Heavenly Fortune Qi, forming the first line of defense and quickly suppressing the eruption of the vast Ancient Tribulation Qi and the mad Heavenly Dao Blood within the Immortal King's Mansion.

However, this first line of defense is extremely fragile.

A great deal of Heavenly Fortune Qi is dissipating at an extremely rapid pace.

However, at that moment, Chen Dengming quickly made hand seals and used the Heavenly Human Time Method.

The Heavenly Human Dharma Appearance's ten-thousand-foot-tall body rapidly shrank to only a hundred feet in size, reaching its limit, and a large amount of the aura of time began to be absorbed into its body, accumulating and circulating.

The flow of time within the Dharma Body instantly slowed down dramatically, by a factor of a hundred.

After doing all this, Chen Dengming breathed a sigh of relief.

In the Heavenly Prison, which is currently within the Heavenly Human Dharma Appearance, every breath that changes corresponds to a hundred breaths passing in the outside world.

With the accumulated blessings of the Heavenly Fortune Hall, it can at least suppress the Ancient Tribulation Qi for two breaths.

"Two hundred breaths is enough!"

Chen Dengming looked at the torn curtain and the portal, his figure flashing away, and in the instant he raised his hand to form a hand seal, he made a grabbing motion.

Boom!--

The immense power of the Dao rapidly converged into a radiant wheel, filled with intensely oppressive and distorted fluctuations, which then crushed towards the portal of the Great Curtain.

The Heavenly Dao Life and Death Cycle Technique!

Qu Shenzong and Dongfang Huayuan worked together to increase the transmission of Dao power, accumulating strength to tear open the curtain gate.

The hundred-zhang-tall Heavenly Human Dharma Appearance immediately stepped forward, its body passing through the gradually tearing curtain, through the narrow passage Proximity to Heaven's End, and traversing into the cold, vast starry sky on the other side of the curtain.

Rumble--

A sound like muffled thunder echoed and erupted within the passageway.

After a dozen or so breaths, the enormous body of the Heavenly Human Dharma Appearance completely reached the other side of the starry sky.

"Receive!"

Without hesitation, Chen Dengming swiftly removed the Heavenly Fortune Hall from the body of the Heavenly Human Dharma Appearance.

Almost the instant Heavenly Fortune Hall withdrew from the Heavenly Human Dharma Appearance Image, the Ancient Tribulation Qi and the rampant Heavenly Dao Blood that had been suppressed within the Immortal King's Mansion became uncontrollable.

Boom! Countless crimson lightning bolts, like ferocious dragons baring their fangs, tore through the Ancient Tribulation Qi and erupted.

The entire Heavenly Prison was rapidly engulfed in red arcs of electricity, turning crimson and exuding an aura of madness and danger that sent chills down one's spine.

The next moment, the Ancient Tribulation Qi rapidly blackened and devoured the Heavenly Prison, even spreading to the entire enormous Dharma Image, engulfing it and forming a huge black figure, a truly terrifying sight.

At the other end of the passage, Chen Dengming, who had taken back Heavenly Fortune Hall, witnessed this scene and his expression became extremely solemn.

He quickly withdrew the Technique Method, and Qu Shenzong and Dongfang Huayuan followed suit, allowing the curtain to close rapidly.

To be on the safe side, Chen Dengming further urged the already dimmed Heavenly Fortune Hall to release even more Heavenly Fortune Qi, which swirled around the cracks in the curtain, accelerating the curtain's closure.

However, just before the curtain was about to completely close, Chen Dengming's gaze suddenly froze, staring incredulously at the other side of the crack in the curtain.

But on the other side of the crack, the Dharma image that should have been completely devoured by the calamity energy remained unchanged. It even seemed to have gained consciousness and life, suddenly turning around and locking onto Chen Dengming with a pair of dark eyes that were tinged with scarlet.

In that instant when their eyes met, Chen Dengming was greatly shaken, as if he were witnessing countless scenes of calamity, seeing a terrifying demon god of calamity creating disasters and unleashing carnage everywhere.

He almost lost his composure at that moment, but the Human Heart Hall quickly surfaced in his mind before he came back to his senses.

Almost simultaneously, the Dharma image opposite, shrouded in calamity and madness, surged like a raging flood, fiercely impacting the shattering rift in the curtain.

"What's this!?"

Qu Shenzong and Dongfang Huayuan witnessed this scene and their expressions changed.

"Quickly, bring the curtain back to life!"

Chen Dengming's face was extremely ugly. He could already sense that the Heavenly Dao in the Outer Heaven was rapidly awakening, and he immediately urged out more Heavenly Fortune Qi from the Heavenly Fortune Hall.

Boom!--!

The curtain suddenly closed completely.

But in the instant of reconciliation, a fierce and terrifying force suddenly erupted from the other end, seemingly causing the curtain to bulge outwards and about to tear apart.

However, just as the curtain was about to tear open, Chen Dengming grabbed with his hand and swiftly sent a lotus phantom image.

Heavenly Fortune Hong Lotus!

The lotus phantom instantly manifested into Black Lotus Platform, colliding with the Ancient Tribulation Qi that almost emerged from the gap in the curtain, and suddenly exploded and shattered.

The protruding curtain immediately returned to its original position, then fluctuated violently before quickly disappearing into the void, vanishing completely.

Chen Dengming's eyes were filled with fear; he could almost hear his own heartbeat, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

Since breaking through to the peak of the Spirit Transformation, he hadn't felt such shock and trepidation in a long time.

But just a moment ago, witnessing his Movement Method suddenly turn its head, and the instant its pair of dark, madly crimson eyes met his, made his heart tremble.

What just happened?

Qu Shenzong recovered from his shock and looked at Chen Dengming in astonishment.

Dongfang Huayuan's face was grim. "I'm afraid that's the Eternal Great Tribulation? It has already erupted. It has fully arrived. So much Ancient Tribulation Qi and mad Heavenly Dao Blood have been detonated. We should have realized that this was the fuse that ignited the Eternal Great Tribulation."

Qu Shenzong felt his mouth go dry and said with difficulty, "But even if we don't do this and let the Immortal King's Mansion erupt in the Shattered Heavenly Immortal Realm, it will be our Ancient Realm that suffers."

"It's at least happening in the New Realm right now. Even if it's Eternal Great Tribulation, it started in the New Realm. Those three Dao Venerable in the New Realm should be able to stop it, right?"

Chen Dengming raised his eyebrows, calmed down a bit, reached out and took the Heavenly Fortune Hong Lotus, which was now broken and only had a few broken petals left, and said seriously, "I'm afraid it's not that simple. The calamity energy contains Karma, Karma is most deeply entangled with our Ancient Realm."

If this truly triggered the great calamity of High Antiquity, even our Ancient Realm would find it difficult to remain uninvolved.

Thinking of that crimson gaze, shrouded in darkness yet the Unseen madness, Chen Dengming felt a deep unease. He sensed that something terrible might have happened to the Dharma form, and if it truly transformed into a calamity, that calamity might return to haunt him.
