515 Five Immortal Palaces Shattered, Bathed in Phoenix Blood! Divine Soul Bathes in Flame, the Karma Tribulation

Deep within the River Styx, turbulent currents surged, and ripples of eerie, ghostly energy mixed with silt spread outwards, revealing the magnificent outline of the Ghost Immortal Mansion. Suddenly, drawn by the overwhelming Death Qi, it was swept away by the current.

Now, the Ghost Immortals have completely perished, and there are no more Ghost Immortals in the world. Even the Ghost Immortal Orthodox Lineage is in ruins, and there are no ghosts left in the Ghost Realm to carry the weight of the world.

At this moment, Chen Dengming had completely transformed into the Dao of Life and Death Qi, which exerted a strong attraction on the Ghost Immortal Mansion.

As soon as the Ghost Immortal Mansion appeared, the turbulent and tilting River Styx gradually calmed down, as if the storm had been stopped. A vast and oppressive ghostly aura returned like a king, reigning supreme and intimidating all directions.

The numerous ghost kings and Ghost Lord who had relocated to the northwest region of the Ghost Realm all felt the tremor and attraction originating from the depths of their souls. They all extended their Divine Sense to check the situation, and then burst into a clamor.

"The Ghost Immortal Mansion! The Ghost Immortal Mansion has been born!"

"Quickly intercept them! As long as we can enter the Ghost Immortal Mansion, we can obtain the authentic Ghost Immortal inheritance. In the future, we will all have the hope of advancing further and even becoming new Ghost Immortals."

"Wait! The Ghost Immortal Mansion's Abode seems to be attracted by something and is heading in that direction! What's that...?"

"It's the aura of the Heavenly Human Dao Lord! The Ghost Immortal Mansion was actually created for him!?"

Within the Ghost Realm, the Divine Sense of numerous Ghost Kings and Ghost Lord exchanged messages. Among them, the old ghosts, including the Nine Nether Ghost Lord had already sensed Chen Dengming's presence, were overjoyed but then suddenly startled and cried out in distress.

Since the Ghost Immortal Mansion was attracted by this killing star, these Ghost Lords who want to get their hands on it should think twice, or they don't even need to think twice and can simply choose to ignore it.

At this moment, within Youdu, the Youdu Ghost Queen's Little Array Spirit, as well as the Starfall Old Ghost and Zhu Xun in Starfall Ghost City, had already flown out of Ghost City to inquire about the situation and immediately followed the Ghost King's Mansion towards Chen Dengming's location.

The Little Array Spirit immediately sent Divine Sense to inquire about the situation.

"Fellow Daoist, I didn't expect you to have attracted the Ghost Immortal Mansion. What are you planning to do now? Is there anything we can do to help Fellow Daoist Zhu?"

Upon hearing this, Starfall Old Ghost, who was fawning over him like a servant, immediately lost his composure and looked resentful.

This Empress You is being far too formal. So, it seems only the two of you ghosts have come to serve the Dao Master, and I, Starfall Old Ghost, am just a transparent ghost, is that it?

After all, he was once a ghost servant of the Heavenly Human Dao Lord. He should at least have a spot to serve the Dao Lord, otherwise it would be too outrageous. He didn't come here mainly for the Ghost Immortal Mansion; he just liked being ordered around by the Dao Lord.

He immediately followed up with a telepathic message.

"Indeed, Master, what help do you need? I, Xiao Xing, am always ready. Back then, I was willing to become a soul arrow and go through fire and water for you without hesitation, and now it is even more so!"

Deep within the Nether River Water, Chen Dengming had not expected that the emergence of the Ghost Immortal Mansion would cause such a great commotion.

However, with his current strength, even if he only has Three Souls and Seven Souls left, as well as an avatar formed from an ocean flower, he is enough to intimidate all ghosts and be fearless. This is the confidence that he has truly become a Dao Lord.

Upon receiving the Divine Sense message, Chen Dengming responded with his own thoughts.

"This time I wish to reshape my Dao body, and I don't need your help at all. You have already prepared all the materials I need for me over the years."

"You've all done very well. If there's a Ghost Immortal inheritance within the Ghost Immortal Mansion, the three of you could experience inheriting it in the future."

Upon hearing this, Starfall Old Ghost was overjoyed, and Little Array Spirit and Zhu Xun were also delighted after confirming that Chen Dengming's reshaping of his Dao body was without danger.

It's truly a case of finding shelter under a big tree. Who would have thought that the Ghost Immortal's inheritance, which the ghosts of the Ghost Immortal Mansion had dreamed of for so many years, would be directly handed to them by Chen Dengming?

Although any ghost in the Ghost Realm can walk the path of a Ghost Immortal, it is not necessary to have top-level Daoist techniques or inheritance. As long as the aptitude is sufficient, one can still reach the realm of a Nascent Soul Ghost Lord.

However, if one could truly obtain the complete Ghost Immortal system remaining within the Ghost Immortal Mansion, acquiring Ghost Technique Method, Daoist methods, and insights, one could avoid many detours and have a greater chance of reaching the Dao Integration Realm.

Before long, the three Little Array Spirit, under the envious gaze of the other ghost kings Ghost Lord, followed the magnificent Ghost Immortal Mansion and flew to the vicinity of Chen Dengming's location, taking it upon themselves to protect Chen Dengming.

Chen Dengming clasped his hands together, and the Death Gate, carrying immense Death Qi, transformed into a vortex of Death Qi. As the Ghost Immortal Mansion flew closer, it rapidly shrank, hovering in his palm and spinning with a "buzzing" sound, spreading an incomparably cold and gloomy pressure.

However, this heavy pressure gradually eased amidst the overwhelming Death Qi, floating and sinking within Death Qi.

At this moment, Chen Dengming was surrounded by the five great Inheritance Immortal Palace, and his body was filled with the aura of Incense and Faith. The halo of Incense and Faith formed above his head could be described as the gathering of the four great immortal paths: heaven, gods, humans, and ghosts.

Such a strange sight left the Little Array Spirit and the three ghosts, including Zhu Xun, dazzled and felt immense pressure from the Inheritance Immortal Palace. They were all puzzled as to how Chen Dengming could create such a grand spectacle simply by shaping a Dao body.

At this moment, Chen Dengming's booming voice rang out, reaching the ears of the three ghosts.

"Everyone, step back and stay away. Don't get too close to me, or you'll be in danger."

The three Little Array Spirit spirits were somewhat bewildered upon hearing this.

Is it dangerous for the three protectors to get too close while shaping the Dao body? Have the requirements for following the Dao Master become this stringent?

The three men, without suspecting anything, immediately retreated to a place hundreds of miles away.

"Let's step back a bit more. Aren't we still too close?" The Little Array Spirit looked back and felt a strong sense of pressure, realizing it wasn't safe.

"That's about enough. We should be fine here."

Starfall Old Ghost shook his head, "This is already hundreds of miles away. If it's any further, and the master summons us, we won't be able to get there immediately. Besides, the master didn't tell us to go any further."

The Little Array Spirit looked at Zhu Xun.

Zhu Xun stared with her large, round eyes and said, "I'll listen to you."

At the same time, Chen Dengming has begun to contact Dongfang Huayuan through the Human God Hall, asking him to send resources.

Inside the Human God Hall and Humans, Dongfang Huayuan appeared, laughing gruffly, "Young Chen, you're finally ready to reshape your Dao body. In a few more years, my Southern Xun won't be able to hold everyone, and your Heavenly Human Life and Death Realm might just fall from the sky."

Chen Dengming smiled calmly, "My soul has recovered to about 60% of its original state. To return to its peak condition, I need to spend a lot of time resting and recuperating, or I need a good Dao body to recover quickly."

Now, the time has come.

"Good!"

Dongfang Huayuan agreed, "Back then, after Old Qu and I collected the Phoenix True Blood and the Lightning-Struck Wood, we were waiting for you to use them today. You've essentially drunk the enemy's blood and been reborn from the ashes! I'll bring them to you right away."

Chen Dengming almost burst out laughing upon hearing this.

The branches of the giant tree-like Great Enlightenment Dao Venerable were described by Dongfang Huayuan as lightning-struck wood, a truly tragic end.

While the resources were being delivered by Dongfang Huayuan, Chen Dengming sent a wisp of his mind, imbued with the Dao Intent, into the Ghost Immortal Mansion to investigate the situation.

A resistance was generated at the entrance of the Ghost Immortal Mansion's Mansion, forming extremely pure Ghost Immortal Dao power.

However, this resistance gradually weakened after encountering Chen Dengming's Dao Intent regarding life and death, allowing Chen Dengming's mind to enter the mansion.

The Ghost Emperor, a descendant of the former Ghost Immortal, sought to rebuild the Ghost Realm, establish the Six Paths of Reincarnation, and the Underworld, in an attempt to move from death to life, to embark on the path of life and death, so that ghosts could be reborn as humans, and the cycle of Yin and Yang could be achieved, thus attaining another level of longevity and immortality.

However, the Ghost Emperor perished before completing his great undertaking, and although he may have comprehended the Dao of Life and Death, he did not achieve the Great Dao.

Even so, it does not diminish the status of the Path of Life and Death within the Path of Ghost Immortals.

Therefore, when Chen Dengming entered the Ghost Immortal Mansion using the Dao of Life and Death, he encountered no obstacles and proceeded straight in.

However, the Ghost Immortal Mansion was eerily gloomy and dark, filled with ghostly energy, and covered with numerous intricate Yin Language and patterns.

Even with Chen Dengming's expertise in Yin Language, he discovered that there were still many Yin Language he didn't recognize.

However, this is definitely the lineage of the Ghost Immortal Path, which is a great fortune for the Little Array Spirit and others.

Deep within the celestial abode, a figure sat regally on Black Lotus Platform, holding a white whisk in his hand and a red cinnabar in his mouth, a smile that was neither a smile nor a smile, a figure that was both demonic and Buddhist and immortal, his face blurred, clearly a statue of a ghost immortal.

Beneath the statue, a pile of miscellaneous items and a body sculpted from dark earth were being worshipped.

The body was devoid of any Life Energy or ghostly aura; it was clearly a completely dead object.

Chen Dengming felt a sense of unease. He scanned the area with his Divine Sense and, through the miscellaneous items and Storage Bag, finally discerned the identity of this Yin Earth body. It turned out to be the Styx Ghost Lord, one of the four great Ghost Lords of the Ghost Realm in the past.

The four Ghost Lords of the Ghost Realm are the Netherworld Ghost Lord, the Nine Nether Ghost Lord, the Underworld Ghost Lord, and the Styx Ghost Lord.

Legend has it that the Ghost Lord of the Styx River had been missing for over five hundred years. Unexpectedly, this Ghost Lord perished in the Ghost Immortal Mansion. Perhaps this was a fitting end for him.

Chen Dengming studied the Yin Language for a while, but he had no interest in the inheritance of this Ghost Immortal Path.

However, if the ghost Technique Method methods recorded in this inheritance could be passed on to Little Array Spirit and close friends and relatives like Zhu Xun, it would be a very good choice.

This was nothing more than a simple matter. Even if the Ghost Immortal Mansion was later refined into part of his Dao body, the Yin Language and patterns recorded within it could still be preserved.

Later, he can let the Little Array Spirit lie on him and slowly learn the Yin Language, and then pass it on to Zhu Xun and other ghosts.

Chen Dengming quickly cleared the Styx Ghost Lord's Yin Earth corpse and other debris out of the Ghost Immortal Mansion.

In the Styx Ghost Lord's Storage Bag, he also found a Nether River Soul Lamp Grass and many Soul Flower.

This was an unexpected surprise, and it will be of great help in reshaping the Dao body later.

Over the past two years, the Little Array Spirit and other ghosts have helped him find many precious resources to strengthen his soul, but there is only one Nether River Soul Lamp Grass, which he has already used.

To find even one more of these rare treasures is already a great blessing.

Before long, Dongfang Huayuan arrived in the sky above the gap between the two realms from the Outer Heaven.

A huge, charred tree branch, hundreds of feet long, was thrown down from the sky, along with a clump of Phoenix True Blood that Qu Shenzong had painstakingly sealed away.

Both of these items originated from the most essential parts of the Dao Venerable's body, and were once part of the Dao Body itself.

However, after being severed by the Heavenly Dao and the Divine Void, the Dao Venerable's will within it was obliterated during the battle.

Nevertheless, the sight of these two items falling from the sky still caused the entire ghost realm to tremble, filled with an atmosphere of oppression and restlessness.

"Dongfang! Thank you! Your Human God Hall is returned to you!"

Chen Dengming raised his hand and unleashed a powerful surge of Death Qi, enveloping the two items as they descended, and then forced the Human God Hall out of his mind.

"Don't mention it, it's no trouble at all if you can borrow the Human God Hall again."

Dongfang Huayuan smiled and accepted the Human God Hall.

The Death Qi Chen Dengming released was forced away as soon as it approached the two treasures.

Although both of these treasures have lost the will of the Dao Venerable, they still possess a powerful aura that isolates them from the Death Qi.

However, the presence of Death Qi can also weaken the suppression of the two treasures by the ghost realm to some extent.

Chen Dengming looked at the Phoenix True Blood that Qu Shenzong had sealed with the Heaven's Will, and then at the Great Enlightenment Tree Branch that had been charred black by the Heavenly Heaven's Punishment Lightning formed by the will of Heavenly Dao, and nodded slightly.

In this process of shaping his Dao body, his first step is to lay the foundation for it with the five great Inheritance Immortal Palace and to imbue the stubborn Life Force with life through heavenly thunder and phoenix blood.

The second step is to imbue the body with the power of the Dao, and to transform the Great Enlightenment Tree Branch into the energy channels throughout the body.

The third step is to imbue the Dao body with a vibrant consciousness by applying the Dao Intent of life, death, and the Celestial Person.

This step, from the very beginning, is already gradually different from the previous process of shaping the Dao body.

Last time, he used the Heaven's Will to endow the Dao body with spiritual consciousness, turning decay into wonder and turning stubborn stone into Spiritual Fetus, relying on the power of the Heavenly Dao.

But now, he has his own Dao of Celestial Person and Man, and he awakens his Dao body with his own Dao Intent. Only in this way can he truly possess his own Dao of Celestial Person, the Dao body of life and death.

Once these three steps are completed, there is no need to go through a fourth step as before, and the Dao body will naturally resonate with his own Nascent Soul Divine Soul.

Now.

Chen Dengming began to connect his soul with the Dao Domain, concentrating his Divine Sense will.

A vast and majestic aura emanated from him, spreading in all directions, like the might of heaven.

Chen Dengming's eyes gleamed with a blinding White Light, radiating an imposing aura.

Now, as the Dao Lord of the Heavenly Human Life and Death Realm, he can truly be said to have the will of Heaven's Will as his own.

Suddenly, White Light shot out from his eyes.

Boom!--

Two bolts of Heaven's Punishment lightning, resembling swords, instantly struck the five illusory images of the Inheritance Immortal Palace floating in front of him.

The moment of impact created an extremely dazzling and bizarre scene.

A violent flash of lightning.

"Crack!"

Brilliant streaks of light and fire exploded on the five Inheritance Immortal Palace, splitting into countless root-like flashes that lingered for a long time.

The five Inheritance Immortal Palace immediately began to crumble, and then, as the will in Chen Dengming's eyes intensified, the Dao Intent Life and Death of Celestial Person almost manifested as rules.

Under the pressure of these four Dao Intent, the five Inheritance Immortal Palace, which were originally of the same origin, were also unable to resist. They exploded into five huge balls of electric fire, emitting terrifying roars, and shattered into countless dust particles.

This immense power and pressure spread in all directions, instantly creating giant waves in the River Styx.

The Heaven's Punishment lightning and the explosion of the five Inheritance Immortal Palace directly blasted a terrifying mushroom cloud into the river, which then collapsed and dissipated into a ring-shaped shockwave.

The Little Array Spirit, Zhu Xun, and Starfall Old Ghost, who were observing the situation hundreds of miles away, felt a terrifying pressure, accompanied by the vibrations of the Water of the Underworld River, violently pushing them from afar. Their expressions changed drastically, and they quickly retreated.

Boom!--

The powerful Celestial Person of Life Dao Intent, even from hundreds of miles away, caused the three ghosts' minds to roar and their heads to buzz when it struck them.

Further away, some ghost kings and ghost Ghost Lord who had come furtively to observe the situation at the Ghost Immortal Mansion were also struck by the attack. They all retreated in panic, their faces pale and their hearts pounding with fear.

The Lord of Heavenly Human Dao is far too powerful.

With such terrifying power, who would dare to harbor any evil intentions? It's like the King of Hell is courting death, going straight to the Book of Life and Death.

High in the sky, Dongfang Huayuan witnessed the huge commotion Chen Dengming had created below and was astonished. He realized that Chen Dengming had actually shattered all five Inheritance Immortal Palace at once, turning them into materials for forging his Dao body.

This was far too crazy, too extravagant. He couldn't help but instinctively tighten his grip on the Human God Hall.

Fortunately, Chen Dengming just returned the Human God Hall to him.

He had originally said he would lend it to Chen Dengming for a while longer, but now what kind of lending is this? The fact that he didn't destroy Human God Hall is already a testament to the other party's loyalty.

At the same time, Chen Dengming's Divine Sense swept towards the sealed Phoenix True Blood and released it.

The sealing power was quickly released.

A large amount of Phoenix True Blood containing terrifyingly high temperatures suddenly surged out, transforming into incomparably blazing Phoenix True Fire. It was drawn down and engulfed and burned the dust that had been shattered from the five Inheritance Immortal Palace, gradually condensing and shaping it into a humanoid form, giving the Dao body Life Force.

But the five Inheritance Immortal Palace, with their pure white and flawless Daoist skeletons, radiated a dazzling white light and contained the aura of the four great Dao Intent of life, death, Celestial Person.

These various auras also contain elements of good fortune and longevity.

The Phoenix True Blood spread everywhere, as if drawing Flesh and Blood on a skeleton, igniting patches of Dao fire that emitted astonishingly high temperatures.

The fire quickly ignited in the River Styx, causing the river to heat up rapidly.

At this moment, even the Death Qi was burned away, and the suppression from the rules of the Ghost Realm could no longer be avoided, descending heavily upon the Dao Body.

However, the Phoenix Dao Fire seemed capable of burning even the rules themselves. This suppression only slightly restrained the flames, but did not extinguish them.

Witnessing this, a resolute look gradually appeared in Chen Dengming's eyes.

He suddenly touched the space between his eyebrows, and in an instant, his divine soul flew out. His Three Souls Seven Souls layered together and transformed into ten beams of light, which hovered in front of his Dao body, feeling the terrifying power emanating from the Phoenix Dao Fire.

This time, he not only wants to reshape his physical body, but also borrow the Phoenix True Blood to forge his divine soul and be completely reborn from the ashes.

He had already figured it out: Phoenix Cry Dao Venerable had come to sever Karma.

This cause and effect can only be severed by his death.

Now, not only is he not dead, but he has been New Life. It is very likely that Phoenix Cry Dao Venerable will make a comeback in the future.

Whether for self-preservation, revenge, or for the sake of the entire Ancient Realm, this New Life requires him to have higher and more demanding requirements for his own strength.

Once, Phoenix Cry Dao Venerable destroyed one of his Dao bodies and took away the other.

Now, he is reshaping his Dao body, which requires not only that the Dao body be unafraid of the Phoenix Dao Fire, but also that his divine soul be unafraid of the Phoenix Dao Fire, and be born from the Dao Fire.

This idea was incredibly audacious, akin to fighting for survival against all odds. The chances of success were slim, but Chen Dengming dared to give it a try.

His soul had been burned by the Phoenix Dao Fire, and he was almost completely destroyed, body and soul.

Now that it has recovered, it's not entirely without resistance, and with the addition of many precious resources for repairing the soul, it's not entirely without a chance.

However, at the same time...

In many places in the Ancient Realm where the calamity energy was deeply accumulated, the calamity energy was restless. In one of the depths of the Tribulation Mist, a huge figure surrounded by calamity energy awoke from its slumber.

Karma and blessings, cause and effect intertwined, it has sensed a new opportunity. Its cause is frantically testing the edge of danger, which will also bring about its effect.
