Old Deng's Desperate Situation! Turning Misfortune into Fortune! Qi of Human Fortune!

Within the demonic claws formed by the overwhelming calamity energy, everything was eroded and obliterated. Chen Dengming's soul was rapidly eroded and assimilated by the calamity energy, his will weakened, and he would soon suffer the consequences, being devoured by his own Tribulation Qi Dharma Idol.

When the karmic retribution arising from cause and effect truly arrives, he seems to have no choice but to accept his fate.

What power does a mere Dao Lord have to resolve the Eternal Great Tribulation that even the Five Great True Immortals couldn't resolve in the past?

Just as Chen Dengming's soul was growing weaker, a beautiful figure called his name from the River Styx, and rushed into the surging calamity energy without hesitation, arriving in front of Chen Dengming's soul.

Boom!--

Another enormous, demonic hand of calamity energy suddenly appeared, fiercely grabbing at the charging figure.

Suddenly, a fissure as deep as an abyss appeared in the ground, and a huge Dharma image made of karmic Karma emerged. The outline of the huge face, rolling with karmic energy, was vaguely similar to Chen Dengming.

"Fellow Daoist!!"

A clear, melodious voice called out from between the falling giant hands, faintly reaching Chen Dengming's ears. It suddenly stirred a turbulent wave in his dazed and confused Divine Sense, jolting him awake.

"Ling'er!?"

Chen Dengming's last remaining conscious awareness was awakened, but all he saw was a vast, surging aura of calamity filling all directions.

There was no sign of the Little Array Spirit anywhere; it was as if the call they had heard earlier was just an illusion.

However, the familiar fluctuations of the soul that were gradually eroded by the churning aura of calamity were enough to prove that all of this was not an illusion, but a real misfortune.

"Ling'er!"

Chen Dengming regained full consciousness, his soul struggling desperately, but he could hardly break free from the clutches of the calamity energy. In fact, the more he struggled, the faster he was disappearing.

"Dao, fellow Daoist--"

From within the demonic palm of calamity energy opposite, the faint voice of Little Array Spirit could be heard.

A surge of intense anger welled up in Chen Dengming's heart, but he quickly calmed down.

If one lacks the ability to resolve the current situation, anger is nothing more than impotent rage, utterly useless.

Taking advantage of the fact that his soul still Soul Power, Chen Dengming attempted to use the Seven Absolute Realms to escape into a state of mindlessness.

Even if it means abandoning the reconstructed Dao body, we must escape today to resolve the crisis.

However, as he entered the state of no-mind, his soul drifted aimlessly, yet he was still entangled by Karma of karmic calamity. Even in the state of no-mind, he could not escape these threads of cause and effect.

He could sense the outline of the Human Heart Hall, which existed between the physical body and the illusion.

Even though the Human Heart Hall has been refined into the Dao Body, its function of providing a haven for the soul still exists.

However, at this time, the Human Heart Hall was also entangled with a large amount of Karma calamity energy, and had been eroded by the calamity energy of the Tribulation Qi Dharma Idol.

For a moment, in the vastness of heaven and earth, Chen Dengming had nowhere to go. His mind was completely exposed before the Karma formed by the calamity.

He did not lose heart and quickly looked for other solutions and measures.

The one who tied the knot must untie it; perhaps the only way to break the deadlock against this calamity is through good fortune.

However, given the limited good fortune he has accumulated, can he effectively counter such a powerful and overwhelming force of calamity?

Chen Dengming didn't have much time to ponder the possibilities; his soul was being rapidly eroded and assimilated. The only option was to immediately unleash the Fortune Shines Brightly.

In the next instant, he felt the surging blessings accumulated within his body.

Numerous blessings converge to form the outline of the Heavenly Fortune Hall.

When the blessed energy was about to gather into a lucky star to protect his soul, it was quickly dispersed by the calamity energy released from the demonic palm of calamity energy.

The calamity was too overwhelming. Even if blessings could avert the calamity, such a large amount of calamity could not be resolved by the blessings accumulated in the Heavenly Fortune Hall. It was like trying to extinguish a fire in an entire hall with a bucket of water, which was truly a drop in the ocean.

Just then, as if provoked by Chen Dengming's act of gathering the lucky star, the huge face of the Tribulation Qi Dharma Idol opened its mouth wide and let out a silent but mind-shaking roar, then raised its hands and poured them into the open mouth.

Boom!!--

Chen Dengming's soul, along with his Dao body and Phoenix Dao Fire, were swallowed whole by the gaping maw of the Tribulation Qi Dharma Idol.

Chen Dengming suddenly felt a dizzying sensation, as if his soul was sinking into a bottomless abyss, constantly falling downwards. His five senses were all confused, and the feeling of weakness from the lack of Soul Power became even stronger.

From the outside, the massive, dark body of the Tribulation Qi Dharma Idol suddenly shone with a crimson light—the glow of the Phoenix Dao Fire flickering within it, like a fireball chasing into a billowing black smoke chimney.

However, compared to the surging and turbulent tribulation energy, the Phoenix Dao Fire could hardly break through. In fact, the speed at which it burned the tribulation energy could not keep up with the speed at which the tribulation energy eroded it, and its light gradually dimmed.

"Fellow Daoist."

Just when Chen Dengming was almost at his wit's end, the familiar yet faint voice of the Little Array Spirit entered his mind.

The next moment, Chen Dengming felt as if he had touched something soft in a dark abyss filled with calamity, a slender figure whose beauty was indescribable.

"Ling'er!"

Chen Dengming instinctively embraced the soft spiritual body that came into contact with him.

The familiar touch and the aura of soul merging made him realize that the one who had accompanied him through life and death, and fallen into the abyss together, was the Little Array Spirit of the formation, the Little Female Ghost who had once struggled together with him at the bottom of the Cultivation World, sharing joys and sorrows, and accompanying him day and night.

At this moment, the opponent's soul aura was also rapidly dissolving into the tribulation energy, at a speed even faster than his own.

"Fellow Daoist, are we going to die here together?"

"I'll find a way, at least to get you out of here."

"No, no! I'd rather die with you than leave alone."

In the darkness, the two souls nestled together. Chen Dengming was moved, but he didn't say anything foolish like "How could you be so stupid?" Instead, he seized the time to think of other solutions.

Since the blessings of the Heavenly Fortune Hall cannot resolve the even more overwhelming calamity, the only option is to try to use the blessings as a guide to turn calamity into fortune and danger into safety.

Misfortune may be a blessing in disguise, and a blessing may be a harbinger of misfortune.

What seems like a misfortune may actually be a blessing in disguise; sometimes, doing something wrong can unexpectedly lead you to the right place.

Since blocking the calamity won't work, we might as well guide it and try to transform the calamity into good fortune. This is precisely the relationship between good and bad luck. If we can properly leverage it, we might be able to turn danger into safety.

In a flash, Chen Dengming no longer hesitated and immediately began to mobilize all the accumulated blessings within the Heavenly Fortune Hall, causing them to surge out and revolve around him.

Using good fortune to transform misfortune into good fortune, in an attempt to turn danger into safety and misfortune into good luck, still results in a significant depletion of one's own good fortune.

Once the good fortune is ultimately unable to pry the majority of the calamity into the transformation channel, it will be completely exhausted, and the situation will instantly reverse, resulting in utter failure.

Therefore, expending all the blessings of the Heavenly Fortune Hall to trigger the calamity is a path of no return, a desperate gamble.

However, given Chen Dengming's dire situation, there was no other way but to take the risk.

Rather than being devoured and assimilated by the calamity, it's better to seize the opportunity while there's still a chance and boldly try to grasp at the slim hope.

Rumble--

A large amount of Heavenly Fortune Qi surged out from the body of the Daoist, and began to rotate wildly around Chen Dengming's soul and body. In an instant, Chen Dengming's whole body was surrounded by blessings.

Numerous calamities surged in from all directions, shaking the vortex formed by the Heavenly Fortune Qi, initially causing only slight disturbance.

But as more and more Heavenly Fortune Qi flowed out, the rotating vortex gradually stabilized, and even began to cause the surrounding calamity energy to rotate as well.

In this way, a favorable situation has been formed in which the auspicious Heavenly Fortune Qi has initially dispelled the calamity.

Soon, more calamity energy, like a snowball, continued to swirl and grow stronger along with the rotation of the Heavenly Fortune Qi.

Chen Dengming and the Little Array Spirit's souls were at the center of the Heavenly Fortune Qi vortex, while the raging calamity energy swept in from all directions like a whirlwind, stopping a foot away from their souls.

They were like being in the eye of a raging tornado, surrounded by destructive winds from all sides, yet the area at the center was calm and undisturbed, and they actually found peace for a time.

Witnessing this extraordinary sight, the Little Array Spirit was filled with hope. It nestled in Chen Dengming's soul and exclaimed joyfully, "Fellow Daoist, you're amazing! We're saved!"

Chen Dengming forced a smile and said meaningfully, "Although we are safe for now, once the Heavenly Fortune Qi is exhausted, this vortex will quickly collapse or reverse, and what awaits us will be an abyss of no return."

Little Array Spirit realized the danger upon hearing this, but at this moment she didn't know how to comfort her.

Seeing that Chen Dengming's spiritual aura was extremely weak, almost to the point of being less than one-tenth of its former power, they immediately knew that even if the current crisis could be resolved, Chen Dengming's spiritual strength might not be able to sustain him until he entered the Dao body.

Even though the Dao Fire released from the Phoenix True Blood within his body had been eroded and devoured by the Calamity Qi, the remaining Dao Fire formed an obstacle within his body that Chen Dengming's weakened soul could not overcome.

The Little Array Spirit immediately stretched out her snow-white, slender hands and tightly embraced Chen Dengming's soul. Her delicate and gentle figure instantly gave Chen Dengming an indescribable feeling of soul-water clash in this situation, and his weak soul was invigorated.

"Ling'er, you."

To Chen Dengming's astonishment, Red Cloud rose on the Little Array Spirit's fair cheeks. She said, "Fellow Daoist, do not forget that Sister Xu's true spirit is still within my soul. The situation is critical now, and your Soul Power is weak. We can cultivate our souls together to strengthen and restore our souls. Even if the outcome is unfortunate, at least we tried together, and at least I can still help you!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Dengming felt a sense of relief on his face and a feeling of comfort and peace in his heart.

Amidst the ever-increasing, oppressive aura of calamity swirling around them, the two tiny Soul Spirit huddled together, their breaths rippling and bodies trembling, just as they had always sought warmth in the freezing wilderness, as they had always done.

He couldn't help but think of Xu Wei, and he could indeed feel Xu Wei presence.

He is a sentimental and nostalgic person, and the people he misses now seem to have not disappointed him.

The old friend is still here. At this moment, his figure overlaps with that of the Little Array Spirit, their souls intertwined. In the most dangerous moment, he stayed by her side and never left.

The Soul Power of the two is gradually recovering and increasing.

In this world, besides the most intense passions, there are many other emotions that deserve our deepest appreciation.

However, external calamities cannot be changed by human will.

As the Heavenly Fortune Qi spun and depleted more intensely, the resulting vortex shrank further and further, and even began to show signs of instability.

At this moment, even more immense calamity energy was drawn in and surged forth, revolving around the Heavenly Fortune Qi, like a vast, turbulent sea violently rocking the small boat struggling for survival in the stormy, turbulent ocean, where it was in imminent danger of being destroyed and losing its life.

Chen Dengming felt the depletion of his Heavenly Fortune Qi and, comparing it to the endless stream of Calamity surging from the outside, couldn't help but feel dejected.

The Tribulation Qi Dharma Idol can not only mobilize its own Calamity Qi, but also mobilize the Calamity Qi accumulated in the Three Realms, making it inexhaustible.

This Dharma image was created by his own hands, and it is actually in harmony with his mind.

Any countermeasure he could think of, the Tribulation Qi Dharma Idol could also think of.

He was fighting against himself, against a version of himself that was stronger than he was in his current state.

The most difficult enemy a person can defeat is actually themselves.

Moreover, imagine how difficult it would be to win if you were an even stronger version of yourself.

However, Chen Dengming still refused to give up.

Even for the sake of the Little Array Spirit and Xu Wei in his arms, he was unwilling to give up.

The Tribulation Qi Dharma Idol is himself, yet not himself.

Because the Tribulation Qi Dharma Idol had no emotions, it wanted to devour him along with the Little Array Spirit.

This is the ruthless path of immortality, not the compassionate path of immortality that he has always upheld.

He cultivates immortality, but his goal is to achieve eternal life through compassion.

His many acts of perseverance are not only about staying true to his original aspirations, but also about protecting those he cares about and loves.

The Tribulation Qi Dharma Idol has no love, no affection; though it is himself, it is not himself. This is the biggest difference between the two, and it is also the key to his possible turn defeat into victory and escape from a desperate situation.

"Good fortune, I need more good fortune. I need it. I hope that many fellow Daoists in the Ancient Realm will lend me their good fortune, Unity of All Hearts, and turn misfortune into good fortune!"

Chen Dengming meditated on the Human Heart Hall once more.

Instantly, the phantom of the Human Heart Hall appeared in one's mind, and flames of the heart were lit within the Human Heart Hall.

As Chen Dengming conveyed his intention to borrow blessings, people and beasts throughout the Ancient Realm world who had ever met him felt his sentiments and unanimously remembered his existence at that moment.

"Aww!"

In the Shattered Heavenly Immortal Realm, among the thirteen peaks of the Longevity Sect, Black Cloud Leopard, its fur long since faded and losing its glossy black sheen, suddenly perked up its ears, scrambled to its feet, widened its eyes and looked around, then its eyes welled with tears. After making two 'shouts', it began to raise its two forelimbs, as if bowing in prayer, to bless Chen Dengming.

In the backyard of a large, prominent immortal cultivation clan in the south, Chen Feilin, with his white hair at the temples and an imposing expression, suddenly paused, his hand stroking his grandson hovering, his gaze drifting towards the distant sky, as if he could vaguely see the face of his grandfather Chen Dengming, in the air.

Inside the Ghost Realm, Zhu Xun, who had returned to Starfall Ghost City more than a year ago, suddenly pushed aside the two Ghost Bride, rushed out of the house in surprise, and looked in the direction of Chen Dengming.

The same scene was playing out in various parts of the Ancient Realm.

Within the body of the Tribulation Qi Dharma Idol, the vortex formed by Heavenly Fortune Qi was gradually thinning and becoming disordered.

Suddenly, a great deal of good fortune surged out from the Human Heart Hall in Chen Dengming's mind, merging into the vortex of good fortune, continuously strengthening the vortex, and guiding the calamity into good fortune.

Those who attain the Way receive much help. This act can be described as borrowing the blessings of all people under Heaven, which is a blessing for humanity. It is quite incredible. Chen Dengming also created the Way of Celestial Person's Life and Death to accomplish this great feat.

Otherwise, given the complete lack of connection between the Human Heart Hall and the Heavenly Fortune Hall, it would be extremely difficult to obtain blessings through the Human Heart Hall.

Now, when human blessings and Heavenly Fortune Qi merge, it becomes the blessing of Celestial Person and humanity, a blessing contributed by many people.

In a hazy moment, Chen Dengming felt as if he had come into contact with the Dao Intent of Great Fortune Reaching the Heavens that he had never comprehended before.

However, compared to the ever-increasing, seemingly endless stream of calamities, the good fortune he received still seemed insignificant.

However, at that moment, the longevity panel that Chen Dengming had naturally possessed since his transmigration suddenly seemed to be touched by the overwhelming blessing and began to produce strange movements.

"Um?"

Chen Dengming was suddenly startled. The panel had never appeared on its own before, and its sudden movement seemed out of control.
