Hot!

An intensely burning pain coursed through Chen Dengming's entire body, but in addition to the pain, a surging power was slowly being absorbed into his body, even altering his near-perfect Dao body.

This is the surging power of the Phoenix Dao Fire.

His Dao body had once been forged with Phoenix Dao Fire, so when Phoenix Cry Dao Venerable struck with all his might, it only caused his Dao body to feel extremely hot and painful, but did not cause fatal damage.

However, at that moment, Phoenix Cry Dao Venerable launched a further offensive.

Its fiery phoenix wings suddenly unfurled, then burst forth with countless incomparably sharp, arrow-like fire feathers, sweeping towards Chen Dengming like a tidal wave.

Although the Phoenix Dao Fire could not cause much damage to Chen Dengming, its sharp fire feathers could still inflict fatal penetrating damage and even burn his soul.

Although Chen Dengming's physical body was formed by the Phoenix Dao Fire, his soul and Primordial Spirit were not. Phoenix Cry Dao Venerable was clearly sharp-eyed, and after a brief moment of surprise, he immediately launched an even more ferocious attack.

Faced with the fiery feathers that surged forth like a raging tidal wave, Chen Dengming immediately felt a strong sense of life and death crisis and was about to quickly use his escape technique to avoid them. However, just as his fingers formed a hand seal, a powerful Divine Sense will slammed into him.

Chen Dengming's mind went blank, his thoughts went blank, and his brain felt like it was on fire, turning into a powder keg, with a burning, excruciating pain.

The Human Heart Hall appeared just in time to assist his Divine Sense will in expelling the Divine Sense invasion that resembled a sea of fire.

But once this battle of minds began, his body was completely unable to avoid the raging torrent of fire feathers, and it looked as if he was about to be pierced through like a sieve.

At this critical moment, a long roar accompanied by a rainbow of light like a silver dragon pierced the sun and rushed in, just in time to rescue Chen Dengming before countless fire feathers could engulf Chen Dengming.

"Court death!"

A flash of fire appeared in Phoenix Cry Dao Venerable's phoenix eyes as she stretched out her slender hand, about to point a finger out.

At that moment, a strange binding force, like the might of heaven, descended upon her, while several bolts of lightning, flashing with Cyan Light, struck fiercely at Swift as the Wind and Lightning.

Phoenix Cry Dao Venerable frowned slightly and gently flapped his wings.

A barrier formed by a swirling current of heat easily broke free from its restraints and dissipated the incoming lightning. The finger he pointed with his hand, forming a hand seal, was completely unaffected.

With a "boom," a line of fire shot out, like hundreds of red flowers dancing in the sky, instantly approaching Dongfang Huayuan, who was rescuing Chen Dengming from his predicament.

Dongfang Huayuan's figure suddenly transformed into a blur of afterimages in the sky. The silver spear in his hand flew out instantly, its momentum violent and explosive. The sound of explosions rang out, as if countless silver Flood Dragon were dancing wildly, roaring and attacking the red flowers from all directions.

"Bang!--"

The spear, which transformed into hundreds of silver dragons, vanished along with the dragon shadows, burned to ashes, and burst into brilliant red flames that filled the sky, like sparks blooming in the air.

"Careful!"

Chen Dengming regained consciousness and suddenly turned around, shielding Dongfang Huayuan's body with his own. He then smashed through the engulfing sparks with a 'boom' and instantly escaped the flames.

Both of them escaped danger. Dongfang Huayuan, was no match for Chen Dengming's Ancient Human Immortal Physique, which was over three hundred feet tall. At this moment, he was sheltered in Chen Dengming's arms and escaped danger, which was quite an awkward situation.

However, the battle was dangerous at this moment, and the two separated immediately after escaping danger, their expressions solemn as they looked at Phoenix Cry Dao Venerable in the air.

Below, Qu Shenzong's figure also appeared, slowly floating up with a serious expression, as if facing a formidable enemy.

"My Immortal-Slaying Silver Single-Pistol!"

Dongfang Huayuan at the Divine Weapon that disappeared with the fire in the sky, his eyelids trembling with pain, and his heart was filled with apprehension.

Prior to this, he had boasted that the three of them would join forces to fight against the New Realm Dao Venerable.

But now that this New Realm Dao Venerable has truly descended, it has become clear that he is indeed far too powerful.

This battle will be even more difficult than when the three of them fought against Dao Integration Great Power when they were at the peak of the Spirit Transformation; they might even be wiped out.

Chen Dengming had already realized this possibility, and looked at Dongfang Huayuan and Qu Shenzong, quickly transmitting his voice.

"She's looking for me, it has nothing to do with you. You should go back immediately, the Ancient Realm still needs you."

He boasted that he had never had much of a spirit of sacrifice, nor any savior complex.

He was just an ordinary time traveler who, through luck and Golden Finger, along with a little bit of hard work, gradually got to where he is today.

Although he wished to prove that sentient beings could live forever and wanted to express his joy, he saw that the Cultivation World, which was truly filled with Immortal Intent and chivalry, also had many flaws such as selfishness and fear of death.

Fortunately, he is a person of integrity and responsibility, which is why he was able to make choices when necessary, suppress all his shortcomings, and make the most appropriate decision.

Now that things have come to this point, it's become so that he has no choice but to step forward, just like the First Ancestor Longevity Dao Lord.

"What nonsense are you spouting? How could we possibly leave at a time like this? This isn't just your problem; don't think you're so great!"

Just then, Dongfang Huayuan angrily snorted and transmitted his voice.

Although he understood Chen Dengming's meaning, and knew that leaving at this time was indeed the best choice for the Ancient Realm, even without Chen Dengming, the Ancient Realm still had him and the Qu Shenzong for protection, and perhaps they could save some people from the great calamity.

But as proud as he was, he never deserted in the face of battle, much less would he abandon his teammates and risk his life to save himself at this moment.

As for the safety of the Ancient Realm, if it weren't for Chen Dengming's influence, he would never have tied the safety of the beings in the Ancient Realm to himself.

He only recognizes those he approves of, including himself; he can completely disregard the life and death of others.

"Excellent! Nephew Chen, we will not retreat now!"

Qu Shenzong also spoke in a solemn tone, saying that although he was willing to protect the Ancient Realm.

However, it is also clear that if something happens to Chen Dengming, the Heavenly Immortal Realm will be destined to collapse again. At that time, with the collapse of the heavens, the Human World, the ghost realm, and Nanxun will all be in dire straits.

The three-person telepathic communication appeared slow, but in reality, it was completed in just a brief moment.

And it seems that the content of this message was intercepted by Phoenix Cry Dao Venerable immediately.

A hint of mockery flashed in her phoenix eyes as she coldly said, "It seems you are all very stubborn! I do not wish to be entangled in too much karma. As long as Chen Dengming's life is spared, I can give you another chance!"

Dongfang Huayuan angrily pointed and shouted, "You wicked woman! Shut up! Why should we need your permission to give us a chance?!"

"You're courting death!"

Phoenix Cry Dao Venerable's crimson, ruby-like eyes suddenly shone brightly, and two blinding, scorching beams of fire were about to be unleashed.

Before Chen Dengming and the other two could make a move, they all felt the suppression of the Dao Venerable's Divine Sense will, and under the extreme stimulation of danger, their whole bodies trembled involuntarily.

However, at this very moment, in the deafening Battlefield Outer Heaven, Divine Void, who had been in a dazed and confused state, suddenly seemed to awaken, his gaze abruptly turning to Phoenix Cry Dao Venerable, his tone shifting from muttering to certainty and domineering.

"Little Firebird, tell me, what merit do I, this god, possess?!"

"Madman!"

Phoenix Cry Dao Venerable's expression suddenly changed. Without hesitation, he turned his head sharply, and the fiery beams in his eyes shot straight towards Divine Void.

Divine Void suddenly pointed a finger, and the sleeves of his noble robe, embroidered with dragons and phoenixes, instantly bulged up.

"Certainly!"

A surge of immense power, fueled by the power of Incense and Faith, accompanied by vast divine power, suddenly erupted.

"Immobilization Technique!?"

The Great Enlightenment Dao Venerable, who was fiercely battling with the Heavenly Dao, suddenly changed his expression, and the several branches that he had just extended, resembling swords and spears, involuntarily retracted.

Boom!--

Phoenix Cry Dao Venerable, along with the fiery beams shooting from his eyes, was instantly frozen in mid-air. Even the violent air currents caused by tearing and scorching the air were solidified, revealing some textures. Phoenix Cry Dao Venerable's exquisite jade face, which was radiating fiery red light, was also completely still, with every detail clearly visible, as if it had been forcibly imprisoned by an extremely terrifying force.

This sudden turn of events took everyone by surprise.

The madman Divine Void suddenly regained his senses and attacked Phoenix Cry Dao Venerable, which instantly resolved the crisis for Chen Dengming and the others.

Chen Dengming and his two companions reacted swiftly, seizing the fleeting opportunity.

"Do it!"

With a long roar, Chen Dengming's Heavenly Disk Nine Stars swirled above his head, and all eight gates within his body opened simultaneously. His Dao Domain, which connected with the Heavenly Human Life and Death Realm, erupted within him like a miniature universe, resembling a spherical sphere.

Buzz!--

The surging power of the Dao transformed into a blinding white light that enveloped his entire body. The power within his body surged violently, forming a grand humming sound that resonated throughout the entire Heavenly Human Life and Death Realm, like the tolling of a great bell.

Chen Dengming's body rapidly swelled to a terrifying height of over 800 zhang, then soared into the sky with a bang. The air within a radius of several hundred zhang beneath his feet exploded into a ring-shaped shockwave, causing the air within a thousand zhang radius to become blurred.

He rushed to Phoenix Cry Dao Venerable almost instantly, and suddenly struck out with a palm. The power of the Dao Domain connecting the Heavenly Human Life and Death Realm appeared in his palm as if it were a huge millstone, and rushed towards Phoenix Cry Dao Venerable's body at high speed.

The Heavenly Dao Life and Death Cycle Technique!

"Boom!"--

A blinding light flashed by, and the Dao Fire protecting Phoenix Cry Dao Venerable's body was shaken, twisted, and dented.

At the same time, the large wheel that Chen Dengming had condensed in his hand was also quickly burned away by the Dao fire. The life and death power and the power of time contained within it could not withstand the burning of the Dao fire.

However, just as the Dao Fire extinguished the wheel, golden flame patterns appeared on Chen Dengming's palm.

A burst of blazing Phoenix True Fire, along with the Dao fire that had just been absorbed into his body but had not yet been refined, enveloped his palm, protecting him from the Phoenix Dao Fire that was attacking from all around.

He suddenly clenched his fist.

Boom!--

A fist blazing with fire struck Phoenix Cry Dao Venerable at high speed, just as his body trembled slightly and anger and humiliation slowly surfaced in his still eyes. It landed hard on Phoenix Cry Dao Venerable's left rib.

"Bang!"

A muffled, terrifying explosion followed, accompanied by a mushroom cloud bursting open.

The body of the Phoenix Cry Dao Venerable was frozen in place and then tilted as he was struck, his left ribs broke, and flames almost shot out from his eyes.

Almost simultaneously, Dongfang Huayuan and Qu Shenzong launched their attacks. Both of them wisely focused their attacks on the openings in Chen Dengming's defenses.

The force of the punch unleashed by one person was like a spear piercing the sky, carrying the power of the entire Southern Seeking Dao Domain. It pierced through the void, creating rings of cracks, as if it wanted to travel through time and space, causing excruciating pain.

One of them summoned a deep, almost inky black thunderbolt, which also carried the power of the Dao Domain. As soon as this thunderbolt appeared, the void began to distort, fluctuate, and tremble. The thunderous power it generated even filled the air in all directions with static electricity, bursting out with dazzling arcs of electricity, and the thunderous punishment descended upon the world.

"Boom!--"

"Boom!--"

The three attacks appeared to be completely "connected," landing simultaneously on Phoenix Cry Dao Venerable's body.

A large spray of scalding, crimson blood, like magma, suddenly erupted, staining the sky and melting the void into a black hole.

A loud, piercing, angry cry suddenly ripped through the sky, creating a terrifying sound wave that shattered the clouds and even caused the Heavenly Human Life and Death Realm to tilt and fall towards the Human World amidst the roar.

Chen Dengming and the other two were closest to the source of the sound, and each of them was so shocked by the terrifying sound wave that their flesh and Flesh and Blood exploded, blood flowed from their seven orifices, their bones trembled violently, and their bodies shook violently as if being sieved. They were forced to retreat.

The binding force that had imprisoned Phoenix Cry Dao Venerable was also shattered by the violent shockwave.

The Divine Void in the Outer Heaven, looked down at the scene below with an indifferent expression. Suddenly, he opened his palm and pressed down.

The Celestial King resides in the Nine Heavens, commanding all immortals, bestowing titles and appointing generals, Summon Wind and Rain, and surveying the heavens and earth. This art is called Immortal Sealing!

As Divine Void pressed down with his palm, it was as if the world was spinning, and suddenly the sky darkened and the earth went dark. Everyone's senses were confused, and they felt suffocated.

The terrifying sound waves that erupted from Phoenix Cry Dao Venerable's mouth also dissipated in circles.

Chen Dengming suddenly felt as if he were sinking, about to fall into an abyss, and even his connection with the Dao Domain was slowly fading and being rapidly stripped away.

This is the will of the king of gods and immortals in heaven. The conferment of immortality and the conferment of godhood are all within the king's control. Whoever he wants to cast down from the clouds to the mortal world, whether you are Dao Integration Great Power or a minor cultivator in the Spirit Transformation stage, is powerless to resist.

Suddenly, a blazing fire broke out between the dark sky and the earth, forming five characters such as "virtue", "righteousness", "propriety", "benevolence" and "faith", spreading blazing heat and fire, trying to tear through the darkness and tear out a new world.

But in the darkness, a fire phoenix appeared, spreading fire and heat in the dark sky and earth. The pattern on its head was in the shape of the word "virtue", the pattern on its wings was in the shape of the character "righteousness", the pattern on its back was in the shape of the character "li", the pattern on its chest was in the shape of the character "ren", and the pattern on its abdomen was in the shape of the character "xin". This was clearly the shape and quality of a phoenix.

Legend has it that in the ancient dark ages, when there was no sun in the sky, the fire phoenix was the sun, flying through the dark world and spreading light and heat to mankind, thus gradually condensing the five most precious qualities of humankind.

The phoenix's authority is innate; it is not subject to the command of the Celestial King, and therefore it is naturally difficult for it to be granted immortality.

At that moment, five words tore through the darkness.

"Great Enlightenment!!"

The fierce cries of the Phoenix Cry Dao Venerable erupted between heaven and earth.

Suddenly, a tree branch fell from the gaping hole in the dark world, quickly branching out and sprouting tender green leaves and twigs, immediately widening the darkness even further.

It suddenly burst open, revealing a burst of light.

But Outer Heaven, the Great Enlightenment Dao Venerable appeared like a towering divine tree, his enormous figure surrounded by intense lightning and fire, having been injured by heavenly lightning formed from the will of the Heavenly Dao.

Its lush branches, like countless divine swords, not only entangled the Heavenly Dao's arms that blotted out the sun and the lightning, but also countless leaves transformed into sword light like swirling starlight. Each falling leaf spun, condensing killing intent, densely packed, and fiercely entangled towards the Divine Void.

"Phoenix Cry, I can only hold on for three more breaths at most. Finish this quickly!"

With Great Enlightenment Dao Venerable transmitted his voice. On his ancient and aged face, one by one, tree burls suddenly burst open in the thunder, unleashing boundless Life Energy, which helped the damaged branches of the tree trunk to quickly recover, and the old tree was reborn in spring.

With half of his body stained with blood, Phoenix Cry Dao Venerable let out a long cry and suddenly turned around to charge at Chen Dengming.

In response, she was met with a combined offensive from Chen Dengming and his two companions.

However, when facing the Phoenix Cry Dao Venerable unleashing his full power, the three's attacks were blocked and incinerated by the five-character aura surrounding his body as soon as they approached him, causing at most a slight ripple.

Suddenly, an incomparably powerful Divine Sense will surged into the minds of the three.

Qu Shenzong was instantly turned into a rock, his face burning red, and he fell headfirst from the sky.

Dongfang Huayuan roared, and the phantom of the Human God Hall appeared. He barely managed to keep his mind, but in an instant, his whole body was engulfed in flames.

If it weren't for the protection of the Human Heart Hall, Chen Dengming would have lost his mind in an instant. Even so, at this moment, his soul felt an extremely fierce and scorching heat, and his soul roared in pain.

In that instant, before he could even react, countless fiery feathers, shimmering and wreathed in Phoenix Dao Fire, filled the sky and pierced through like lightning.

The intense threat instantly brought him to his senses, but before he could react, his massive and seemingly sturdy body was riddled with holes in an instant, suffering a severe injury.

Excruciating pain coursed through his body, and Chen Dengming was about to unleash the Heavenly Human Time Method.

A pair of majestic phoenix eyes, as bright and beautiful as rubies, suddenly appeared before him.

"Boom"--

His eyes suddenly blazed with fire.

The eyes are the windows to the soul.

The searing, soul-crushing pain instantly assailed my soul.

His inner world instantly transformed into a blazing sea of fire, his soul being scorched within it.

This is the fire of the soul, even more terrifying and difficult to quell.

Chen Dengming's soul was not like his physical body, which was formed by Dao fire. Now, it was being ignited and burned by this inner fire. His Three Souls Seven Souls began to dissolve rapidly, quickly detaching from his physical body, and were about to completely dissipate.

"Phoenix Cry!!"

Just then, the call of the Great Enlightenment Dao Venerable came from the distant Outer Heaven, and a terrifying giant sword with its sharp edge descended from the sky, making a loud 'crack' sound, and actually severed one of the Great Enlightenment Dao Venerable's branches.

Upon seeing this, Phoenix Cry Dao Venerable's expression changed. He saw that countless Heavenly Net suddenly appeared above the Outer Heaven, and the entire world was gradually turning into a huge Heavenly Prison. He immediately stopped hesitating.

Suddenly, he raised his hand and grabbed Chen Dengming's Dao body, which had almost melted back into the shape of a Longevity Jade Seal in the Dao fire, and then quickly withdrew.

Chen Dengming's soul was ignited by the Phoenix Dao Fire, making it almost impossible for him to survive. At this moment, the situation was so tense that she didn't need to see the final outcome.

As her figure flew away swiftly, in the Outer Heaven, Divine Void raised his hand and beckoned.

In the Eastern Immortal Sea of the East, Bright Light Sect, who was nervously eavesdropping on the commotion in the Outer Heaven Mingguang Shangren, suddenly changed his expression and immediately covered his Storage Bag.

However, the next moment, there was a loud "whoosh".

His Storage Bag burst open instantly, scattering a large pile of miscellaneous items in all directions.

A small door instantly pierced through the cave abode and disappeared into the air.

In the next instant, a huge and magnificent South Heaven Gate appeared in the Outer Heaven, spreading a rich power of Incense and Faith.

Inside the South Heaven Gate, a magnificent scene of 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals appeared, their majestic shouts like mountains and seas roaring, suppressing the Great Enlightenment Dao Venerable and the Phoenix Cry Dao Venerable.

To pass through, one must break through the South Heaven Gate!

Great Enlightenment Dao Venerable and the Phoenix Cry Dao Venerable's expressions changed drastically.

At this moment, the world is like a prison, the Heavenly Prison has appeared, and the South Heaven Gate is blocking their way. It will be no ordinary difficulty for them to break out.

As a violent tremor and spiritual power emanated from Outer Heaven, Chen Dengming's Three Souls Seven Souls below were almost completely annihilated in the Dao Fire, his body and soul destroyed.

But at that moment, the phantom of the Human Heart Hall suddenly appeared in his soul.

Boom!--

The moment this hall appeared, it was instantly burned and cracked.

However, the hall blocked the way for a moment, and Chen Dengming's Three Souls Seven Souls, which were about to dissipate, instantly escaped into the hall. Then, as the Human Heart Hall entered the Heartless level, they gradually separated from the Dao Fire and quickly disappeared.

In an instant, Chen Dengming's spiritual aura vanished into the world.

"Phoenix Cry Dao Venerable!"

A beam of Silver Light suddenly shot down from below. Dongfang Huayuan body wreathed in Dao power, let out a furious, earth-shattering roar.

"Nephew Chen!"

Qu Shenzong also awoke from the trauma to his Divine Sense will and realized that Chen Dengming's physical and spiritual aura had vanished, and couldn't help but let out a mournful cry.

The commotion caused by this battle was enormous. Throughout the entire Ancient Realm Four Seas Four Regions, almost all Spirit Transmutation Dao Lord had used various means to find out the intense situation of this massive battle in the Outer Heaven.

Human-caused calamities and conflicts rage in the Outer Heaven, while natural disasters and calamities continue to occur in Four Seas Four Regions. Such a precarious situation truly reflects the saying that human-caused calamities bring disaster from heaven and earth, and that misfortune and fortune are inherently intertwined. The waxing and waning of Yin and Yang is the ultimate principle, and the mysteries of cause and effect are the most profound of creations.

A dozen or so breaths later.

A terrifying roar, heard throughout the heavens and earth, erupted from the Outer Heaven of the Ancient Realm.

Immediately afterwards, it was as if a huge hole had been ripped open in the sky, and the South Heaven Gate was blasted away, with scalding hot blood and a huge, charred, broken branch falling from the sky.

The chaos was also largely lifted, revealing an ancient, weathered, and enormous figure that exuded intense divine might.

The figure slowly opened its slightly closed eyes, its cold, azure pupils filled with a murky yellow aura. It stared at the huge hole that had been torn open, then suddenly raised its rough hand and slowly clenched it.

Instantly, a vast expanse of mist returned, obscuring the sky of the Ancient Realm.

Within the Ghost Realm, a luminous, cracked phantom of a small temple suddenly flickered and appeared deep within the River Styx, floating towards a small, blue giant figure.

The figure exuded a strong aura of Incense and Faith, but its own aura was rather weak and feeble. At this moment, it raised its weak eyes, looked at the illusory small temple, and stretched out its palm.

"My Lord! You were in a very dangerous situation this time!"
