Dharma Idol Annihilated! Great Tribulation Born! Dao Venerable Arrives!

In the cold, vast starry sky, an incomparably powerful force of Dao violently swept and enveloped the abandoned planet.

The entire planet then turned into a sea of crimson fire.

A kingdom of fire is being born, fueled by the inextinguishable Phoenix Dao Fire, which forms countless fire phoenixes that rage around the planet, burning stars, boiling seas, and Fire Refining Starry Sky.

The meteorites from all directions quickly melted into pools of lava.

The entire planet rapidly cracked and shrank, as if it were about to be incinerated into a small glass ball.

However, on this planet, although the Bandit Cultivator was at a disadvantage in resisting, he still did not suffer much damage.

It gathers the calamity energy from all directions and surrounds its body to form a protective barrier. Even the Phoenix Dao Fire, which can burn anything, has difficulty burning away this Ancient Tribulation Qi that is entangled with Karma, and is even being slowly eroded by it.

At this moment, within Bandit Cultivator's palms, a Heavenly Prison radiating five-colored light was quietly suspended, devouring and sealing the waves of Phoenix Dao Fire that were invading from the surrounding area.

Phoenix Cry Dao Venerable observed this situation, a cold glint appeared in her majestic and beautiful eyes.

"Devouring my Dao Fire? I'm afraid you won't be able to digest it!"

Suddenly, her ten fingers opened like flower petals, and in a flash, the Dao fire enveloping the Bandit Cultivator exploded, transforming into a giant fire lotus that devoured the Bandit Cultivator.

In an instant, a gigantic, magnificent fiery lotus seemed to appear in the starry sky, raging and burning in all directions.

Instantly, the Ancient Tribulation Qi, which was swirling with boundless Karma around the Bandit Cultivator's body, was also forcibly pushed away by this terrifying power.

The five-colored Heavenly Prison in his hands immediately began to devour the sealing Dao fire to the maximum extent.

However, this sudden burst of immense firepower also placed a tremendous burden and impact on the Five-Colored Heavenly Prison.

The entire Five-Colored Heavenly Prison began to rumble and expand continuously, shaking the structure of the Heavenly Net Barrier within, causing it to break and melt.

While Feng Lingzi's Spirit Sealing Technique was indeed wondrous, and the Heavenly Prison could seal anything, the power of the Dao Venerable was simply too immense.

After Phoenix Cry Dao Venerable made his full-force move, the Bandit Cultivator's attempt to seal his power using the Five-Colored Heavenly Prison was tantamount to a snake trying to swallow an elephant.

As the Heavenly Prison expanded and its inner Heavenly Net barrier crumbled and melted, a large number of Phoenix Dao Fire that had been sealed within the Heavenly Prison also re-established connections with the Phoenix Dao Fire outside.

With such coordinated action from within and without, the Five-Colored Heavenly Prison was instantly blasted open, from which a large amount of calamity energy and billowing flames surged forth.

The Bandit Cultivator remained neither surprised nor angry upon seeing this; aside from its madness and violence, it seemed to possess no other emotions.

Seeing the Heavenly Prison broken, its body, which had been gathering surging calamity energy, suddenly swelled wildly. Its body was filled with the Heavenly Dao Blood, and it even emitted a dense and powerful aura, which belonged to Feng Lingzi and to the beings it had devoured.

"It's over!"

Phoenix Cry Dao Venerable's face was calm and indifferent. She made her move again. Her gorgeous robe suddenly bloomed like beautiful tail feathers, transforming into a huge fiery shadow. A fiery phoenix, as big as a planet, was born from the sea of fire. As soon as she raised her phoenix head, the flames condensed into a throne, supporting her figure.

Then, millions of flames accompanied the fire phoenix as it charged away with a roar.

Boom!--

With a single strike, the giant fist unleashed by the cultivator, whose body had transformed into Bandit Cultivator tens of thousands of feet tall, was incinerated. Immediately afterward, the fire phoenix pierced through the cultivator's chest, causing the body to explode completely and scatter into a large amount of tribulation energy. Among the debris, a human figure and a shattered planet were flung far away.

However, just as the Fire Phoenix was about to completely pass through, a strange aura of time suddenly erupted from the exploded body of the Bandit Cultivator.

The flow of time also seemed to slow down dramatically at this moment.

"Hey!--"

A loud Phoenix Cry accompanied by a burst of bright red flames erupted, the intense heat causing space and time to distort and reverse.

Boom!--

Amidst the exploding flames, the figure of Phoenix Cry Dao Venerable, looking somewhat disheveled, flew out from the scorching, raging tribulation energy.

Her bright red robe was partially torn apart, turning into pieces of fire like feathers, revealing her shoulders, waist, hips and legs with their undulating, graceful lines.

This splendor lasted only a fleeting moment.

A burst of flames quickly gathered on the delicate body of the Phoenix Cry Dao Venerable, repairing her gorgeous robes and concealing her imposing and unapproachable noble Daoist form.

"Hateful!"

The Phoenix Cry Dao Venerable were now filled with rage. He coldly swept his gaze over the numerous Ancient Tribulation Qi that had collapsed and scattered, then lowered his head to look at the wisps of tribulation energy swirling around his body, a trace of fear appearing in his eyes.

Since she became Dao Venerable, she has never encountered such a troublesome enemy except for other Dao Venerable of the same realm, who could even cause her some harm and embarrassment.

However, this was not the most threatening thing. What was even more threatening was the Karma calamity that was now entangled around her, which she could no longer shake off.

Because in that brief, seemingly instantaneous moment of slowed-down time, she had been trapped for over a year.

In just over a year, her pure and untainted phoenix body was tainted by the Karma of this Bandit Cultivator.

"Tumultuous!!--"

A surge of Phoenix Dao Fire quickly enveloped her entire body, setting her ablaze. Her crystal-clear, jade-like body seemed to be bathing in a sea of fire, with the tranquil starry sky serving as a giant bathtub.

However, this fire burned for a full seven days, yet the Karma swirling around him did not diminish in the slightest. Even the calamity energy was only slightly depleted at the beginning, and then seemed to gradually adapt to the presence of the Dao fire, even beginning to erode it.

Phoenix Cry Dao Venerable's expression turned extremely ugly. The Dao fire covering his body slowly subsided, reforming into a bright and fiery robe that concealed his Dao body.

She looked at the lingering Karma of calamity and karma surrounding her, and the anger in her phoenix eyes shone as brightly as rubies.

With her strength and insight, she now clearly understands that this karmic Karma of calamity cannot be eliminated by the Phoenix Dao Fire.

The one who tied the knot must untie it.

Although she destroyed the Bandit Cultivator, if she did not eliminate the Ancient Realm cultivator who created the Bandit Cultivator, this Karma would remain entangled on her like cause and effect, and would not dissipate.

Phoenix Cry Dao Venerable's gaze fell upon the desolate planet below, which had been scorched and shrunk by tens of thousands of times.

A pile of broken walls and ruins lay on the rubble, and a thoughtful look appeared in her eyes.

"The Ancient Tribulation Qi, the Immortal King Hall, the Heavenly Prison, the time-manipulation techniques of the Heavenly Longevity Path, and the ten-thousand-foot Dharma Image of the Life and Death Path—the creation of this monster is most likely related to the Immortal Celestial Lineage. Could it be him?"

An image of a broad and handsome face involuntarily appeared in her mind, with white hair at his temples and a slightly mature and steady demeanor.

Chen Dengming is the most outstanding figure in the Tianxian Dao Tianshou lineage.

To her, the other party was just a junior, and at most she had only paid attention to this boy because of her disciple Huang Yun, but she had never really taken him seriously.

But now, this matter is closely related to this boy.

"He was probably the one who sent the Tribulation Mist to the New Realm back then. The Bandit Cultivator formed by this Ancient Tribulation Qi may also have been created by him. However, the Path of Life and Death still has a ten-thousand-foot-tall Dharma Form."

It seems someone else is doing this with him.

Phoenix Cry Dao Venerable narrowed his eyes slightly, a decision already formed in his mind, along with killing intent.

The cultivators of the Ancient Realm dared to repeatedly violate the New Realm; their intentions are despicable. The cultivators of the Ancient Realm who created all this must die.

She turned her head to look at the half-broken planet floating in the starry sky not far away, and a figure that had been almost completely eroded and was in a coma.

That was none other than Feng Lingzi was still alive.

Seven days ago.

Just as the Dharma Bandit Cultivator was completely defeated by Phoenix Cry Dao Venerable.

In the depths of a strait filled with calamity energy in the Sealed Spirit Realm, calamity energy suddenly surged and gathered into a human shape, rolling over mountains and leaping across the sea before shrinking into the strait to lie dormant and grow stronger.

Meanwhile, in various parts of the New Realm ravaged by the Tribulation Mist formed by the tribulation energy, many cultivators who could not escape the Tribulation Mist perished, their Flesh and Blood rapidly eroded by the tribulation energy.

Amidst the Tribulation Mist in various places, countless figures of Bandit Cultivator, resembling demon gods, emerged.

Strange changes began to occur in the Ancient Realm, the Four Seas Four Regions, and the various ghost realms amidst the Tribulation Mist.

A massive amount of calamity energy expanded rapidly, like an explosion, gradually taking on a human form and giving birth to Karma.

Within the Mustard Seed Realm, which had been cleared by Chen Dengming in the past, the calamity energy suddenly surged fiercely, and a large amount of Tribulation Mist increased wildly in a very short period of time.

"Um?"

Several of Chen Dengming's clones, who were sitting in the gap between the two realms, sensed the unusual movement of the tribulation energy within the Mustard Seed Realm from different directions. They all immediately stood up on alert, looking on with surprise and uncertainty to check the situation.

Rumble!

Just then, two of the Mustard Seed Realm suddenly exploded, forming huge mushroom clouds, which then transformed into an incomparably terrifying torrent of matter, carrying a large amount of calamity energy and scattering in all directions.

As soon as one of the clones got close, it was overwhelmed by the surging, ferocious torrent and collapsed on the spot.

This torrent expanded and erupted rapidly, its immense power surging forth like a raging sea or a mighty river, shaking the Human World with a deafening roar.

Another part crashed violently into the bottom of the Human World above, while the rest, like a raging meteor shower, carried the force of destruction and slammed down on the ghost realm below.

With such terrifying force, if some more Yin Springs were to collapse in this disaster, the precarious balance that the Ghost Realm has maintained for so many years would surely be shattered.

"Not good!"

The two remaining clones of Chen Dengming both changed their expressions drastically and immediately contacted their main body through their minds to send a message.

Within the Heavenly Human Life and Death Realm.

Chen Dengming, who had just flown out from Longevity Peak which had been moved into his own Dao Inner Domain, suddenly froze in mid-air, his eyes filled with shock, and a dense Cyan Light quickly appeared in his eyes as he observed the situation within the entire Ancient Realm.

However, it seemed that all the calamities in the Human World had been switched on at the same time, and earthquakes broke out in many places. Even though many immortal cities immediately activated their Mountain Protecting Formation, they were still shaken.

In many other ordinary countries and cities, devastation was even worse. The earth seemed to have been turned upside down, with houses tilted, roads cracked, and everything in ruins.

Some mudslides, like raging torrents, crashed and squeezed the earth, mercilessly destroying all living things.

Numerous volcanic eruptions occurred, with magnificent craters spewing long bursts of sparks. Flames raged, smoke billowed, and the surrounding area was transformed into a crimson sea of fire. Life was annihilated, and the air was thick with heat and the smell of sulfur. Black storm clouds loomed over the mountain peaks, intertwined with the Karma aura that was beginning to take shape.

The four immortal seas were suddenly struck by tsunamis, and floods began to accompany earthquakes, hurricanes, torrential rains, and volcanoes, creating a terrifying mass extinction frenzy.

The cries of countless people and their pleas for help mingled together. Even cultivators felt a deep sense of fear and vulnerability amidst the rage of nature.

In the blink of an eye, the Human World had been transformed into a hellish landscape, with countless mortals and cultivators caught off guard and mercilessly swallowed up by various calamities.

Meanwhile, within the Ghost Realm, the torrent impact caused by the explosion of the Mustard Seed Realm also caused a tremendous upheaval. Several Yin Springs in the southeast region, which were already under immense pressure, immediately began to collapse and crack, and the entire Ghost Realm began to tilt violently once again.

These incredibly dangerous natural disasters were all captured by Chen Dengming's Eye of the Heavens, and for a moment he didn't know how to rescue them or where to begin.

This is a catastrophe that erupts simultaneously across the entire world; it is the end of the world for cultivators in the Ancient Realm.

"The Eternal Great Tribulation has truly erupted, leaving no chance of salvation whatsoever..."

Chen Dengming took a deep breath. Although he had considered all sorts of terrible scenarios beforehand, including the current situation, he was still aware of it.

But when this situation actually occurred, he still lacked the ability to save the entire disaster-stricken Ancient Realm.

Fortunately, Chen Dengming had already joined forces with Dongfang Huayuan and Qu Shenzong to make many preparations for the calamity.

One of the measures was to send most of the Immortal Sect Dao Gate and mortals who were willing to migrate south to the vicinity of the Minglong Mountains and gradually arrange for them to enter the Dao domains of the Southern Journey and the Qu Shenzong.

The relocation of the Thirteen Peaks of Longevity and the various peaks of the Tiandao Sect to the Heavenly Human Life and Death Realm was the second measure, which was only completed in recent years.

The successful implementation of these two measures has resulted in many mortals and cultivators who heeded the advice remaining relatively safe even now, despite the impending catastrophe.

The many cultivators of the Longevity Sect have been protected, and most of them are now cultivating within the Heavenly Human Life and Death Realm, while a small number have sought refuge in the south.

Chen Dengming quickly surveyed the Heavenly Human Life and Death Realm and Death and the situation in Nanxun again. The Dao Domain where Qu Shenzong was located was outside the domain and not within his observation range, but he thought it should be safer.

Suddenly, a sharp glint flashed in his eyes, his brows furrowed, and he thought to himself, "This is troublesome."

At this time, within the Heavenly Human Life and Death Realm, four places had already begun to generate calamity energy.

These nascent calamities are still within Chen Dengming's control. As long as they are not allowed to spread and cause disasters, they cannot yet give rise to terrifying Karma.

However, within the realm of death, the calamity Tribulation Stele have begun to surge with calamity energy, and have even begun to generate Karma.

The eruption of these numerous calamities was so powerful that even the mighty power of the prayers of ten thousand ghosts could not suppress it, and it even showed a tendency to reignite the resentment of ten thousand ghosts.

Once the resentment of countless ghosts is rekindled and entangled with Karma calamities, the realm of the dead may fall, and the Incense Clone may even become the next Bandit Cultivator's manifestation.

Chen Dengming's figure vanished in an instant amidst a burst of white Dao power light.

When they reappeared, they had arrived at the entrance to the realm of death, which was filled with Black and White Life and Death Flower and death.

He swiftly flew into the realm of death, his body enveloped in White Light. The instant his five fingers extended, layers upon layers of Heavenly Net rapidly condensed, and in the blink of an eye, eighty-one nets had appeared. Only twenty-odd nets remained to construct the one hundred and eighty-eight Heavenly Net of the Heavenly Prison.

This intricate Heavenly Net quickly ensnared the increasing calamity.

However, as the calamity energy captured by the Heavenly Net expanded and multiplied, the Heavenly Net itself began to be rapidly eroded, at a speed that exceeded Chen Dengming's expectations.

"Um?"

Chen Dengming's eyes showed surprise.

The fact that the Heavenly Net was being eroded by the calamity energy so quickly is unprecedented in the past few decades. In fact, this calamity energy is eroding the Heavenly Net even faster than the Ancient Tribulation Qi of the past.

It seems that the calamity aura has undergone a dramatic change along with the great changes in heaven and earth, or for some other reason.

Chen Dengming immediately thought of the Tribulation Qi Dharma Idol he had released in the past.

In the past, the Ancient Tribulation Qi eroded and assimilated the Heavenly Prison and broke free. If there is any calamity energy in this world that is not afraid of the Heavenly Prison Heavenly Net, and can even quickly erode the Heavenly Prison Heavenly Net, it is only that Ancient Tribulation Qi.

Fortunately, although the calamity energy within this death realm was eroding the Heavenly Net, it was not able to destroy Heavenly Net quickly. Before the Heavenly Net was destroyed, Chen Dengming still had the ability and time to transfer a large amount of calamity energy out.

Time flies, and seven days have passed.

The outer edge of the Ancient Realm.

A female figure, enveloped in blazing flames and intense heat, strolled out from the ripples of the starry sky, emanating a terrifying spiritual power that shook the universe and wisps of Karma.

Her eyes were fixed on the Ancient Realm shrouded in mist below. She could sense two terrifying auras within the Ancient Realm that could not be underestimated, as well as the restless and rampant calamity within the Ancient Realm, which was poisoning all living beings.

But now, she is fearless and no longer chooses to appease the world or show pity for others; instead, she seeks a complete reckoning.

Her eyes quickly heated up, becoming as bright as a pair of rubies, while her voice was filled with a chilling killing intent, like a vast celestial sound that reverberated into the Ancient Realm.

"You cultivator from the Ancient Realm, the brat of the Heavenly Immortal Way's Tianshou lineage, come out and confess your sins and accept your death!"
