Divine Void's Will! Karma Red Lotus Fire! Fire Refining Starry Sky!
Ten days later.
Deep within the mists of the Outer Heaven, a powerful Divine Sense will erupted, filling the air with an aura that commanded submission and worship.
Deep within the mist, a towering figure radiating light exuded majesty and domineering aura, like Immortal of Immortals who ruled over all things in heaven and earth—a deity.
He suddenly pointed out.
A single Immortal Method formed a high-temperature ball of energy, resembling a shooting star, and instantly approached Chen Dengming's fleeing figure.
Even from dozens of feet away, the powerful field emanating from Chen Dengming blocked the light, causing a blinding burst of light.
Then, during the subsequent field oscillations, it collapsed like a thin sheet of paper.
Chen Dengming's expression changed instantly. He immediately formed hand seals, and dazzling multicolored light appeared around his body. At the same time, wind and thunder roared, and a phantom image of his Dharma form appeared. The air was compressed and shaken into a large cloud of mist.
However, the imposing and domineering figure acted on his words, pointing out again with a low shout.
"Certainly!"
As soon as the famous Immortal Way Immobilization Technique was used, Chen Dengming, who was fleeing, immediately felt his whole body tighten. His external Dharma image and the Five Elements Spirit Shield solidified at the same time, as if an incomparably powerful Incense and Fire Prayer Power was locking him in place.
At that moment, it was as if countless Incense Believer were solemnly praying in his ear, earnestly trying to influence him. This immense power of their vows was like invisible threads, binding him tightly.
That single blow was already extremely fatal.
The blinding flames instantly engulfed Chen Dengming, and an unparalleled force tore apart his still-forming Dharma form and Five Elements Spirit Shield. It was like a high-speed asteroid crashing into him, with the impact of millions of tons crushing him relentlessly, causing his body to feel an unbearable pain.
At the critical moment, the Fortune Wheel floating above Chen Dengming's head suddenly spun, allowing his body to miraculously break free from the Immobilization Technique spell the instant it came into contact with the flying fire. He spun at an angle and rolled, dissipating most of the impact.
"Boom!--"
Chen Dengming's figure plummeted downwards, instantly exploding into blinding flames as he rubbed against the air. The air itself was ionized and decomposed by the shockwave. If it were an ordinary Spirit Transmutation Dao Lord's body, its surface would have been rapidly carbonized at this moment.
In less than a breath, Chen Dengming crashed down into the Heavenly Human Life and Death Realm below, like a meteor trailing a huge flame.
His nearly dazed mind immediately cleared. If this had actually hit the Dao Domain's homeland, it would have been a massive earthquake, creating a huge crater that could be seen by anyone in the Human World.
At the critical moment, a powerful energy barrier erupted from the Heavenly Human Life and Death Realm, like a thick layer of atmosphere, and spread out with a 'boom'.
"Bang!--"
Chen Dengming's body felt as if it had been slammed into a thick ball of cotton, and he continued to fall rapidly downwards.
Finally, with a loud crash, a mountain peak collapsed, and broken stones, mud, sand, and rock layers scattered in all directions like a torrential rain whipped up by a gale, while the ground rolled and surged like waves.
The collapsed mountain peak was smashed into a giant crater hundreds of feet deep.
At the bottom of the pit, billowing flames and thick smoke rose in wisps. Chen Dengming's massive body, radiating rosy light, lay prone in the deep pit, some of his charred Flesh and Blood blasted out and mixed among the soil and rocks.
He spat out a mouthful of dirt, got up from the ground, and as his Divine Sense will condensed, countless charred Flesh and Blood imprinted with his will floated up from the surrounding dirt and gravel.
Chen Dengming, his body covered in wounds, got up and walked out of the giant pit.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh--
A large amount of minced flesh gathered on its own. During the gathering process, it quickly absorbed the Immortal Spiritual Energy drawn from the surrounding air, radiating light. When it attached itself to Chen Dengming's wounds, it quickly healed them together. Under the super regenerative power of the Phoenix True Blood, it was soon completely healed.
But the next moment, the wounds suddenly burst open, and blood splattered everywhere.
"What a troublesome magic technique!"
Chen Dengming's face was grim as he looked at the Flesh and Blood wounds all over his body. He could feel the Incense and Faith and Divine Sense will swirling around the wounds, which belonged to the Dao Intent of Divine Void and was extremely difficult to expel.
Chen Dengming looked down at the Divine Void, which stood high in the mist and looked down from above.
The clarity in the other person's eyes had vanished, replaced by a bewildered and dazed expression, as if they were standing high in the sky, pondering why they had made their move.
A moment later, Divine Void's figure disappeared into the depths of the mist, and that vast spiritual power also quickly faded away.
Chen Dengming breathed a sigh of relief. In just a short while, the Flesh and Blood of his wounds healed, collapsed and burst open, and then healed again, having been repaired several times.
At this moment, the will and Incense and Faith power of the Divine Void within the scattered Flesh and Blood had been somewhat depleted, but it could still be revived by the power of his Flesh and Blood.
This force was as stubborn as chewing gum, even eroding his Flesh and Blood and his will.
At this moment, Chen Dengming not only had to recover from his physical injuries, but also had to contend with the remaining will of Divine Void.
However, this kind of Divine Sense will at the Dao Venerable level is not easy to completely expel, as it constantly wears down his Divine Sense will and Flesh and Blood strength.
"Divine Void truly lives up to his title of Dao Venerable. These immortal techniques are so deadly that even a single blow could be fatal. However, it's only because I'm not a true cultivator who attains divinity through Incense Godhood Path and am unfamiliar with the Technique Method of this Incense Godhood Path that I wouldn't have been in such a predicament."
Chen Dengming suspected that the wound on the back of the celestial being might have been caused by a deity. Although the Divine Sense will of the deity was expelled from the wound, it also caused the calamity energy to entangle the wound.
At this moment, he couldn't possibly abandon this part of his Flesh and Blood; otherwise, not only would he lose the Phoenix True Blood, but he would also need a lot of resources to recover.
Chen Dengming devised a plan. He used his Divine Sense to control all his Flesh and Blood, and then, with a hand seal, his figure and flesh and Flesh and Blood disappeared into the multicolored spiritual light.
When he reappeared, Chen Dengming had arrived at the former Western Demon Sea in the Human World, which is now the Devil Cultivator Sea, which has been divided into six large and small seas.
Due to the geographical factors over the years and the fierce, warlike, and bloodthirsty nature of the cultivators, even with the blessing stele he erected to suppress the fortune, there are still places where new calamity energy is born, forming Tribulation Mist.
Chen Dengming had planned to clear away the Tribulation Mist here before. Now was the perfect time to use the tribulation energy to fight poison with poison, eroding the Divine Sense will within his Flesh and Blood that belonged to the Divine Void, and then transforming the tribulation energy into good fortune.
On the vast sea surface, where a magnificent Tribulation Mist drifts.
Chen Dengming raised his hand and reached down. Soon, the weather changed dramatically, and a Heavenly Net appeared, quickly capturing the Tribulation Mist below and rapidly shrinking.
The Tribulation Mist immediately shrank into a ball several meters in size, filled with dense calamity energy.
With a thought, Chen Dengming's flesh Flesh and Blood quickly rushed into the calamity energy.
The calamity energy immediately surged and began to erode Flesh and Blood, but was blocked by the Divine Sense will within the Flesh and Blood.
As you can see, his Flesh and Blood radiate the light of Divine Sense will, both his own and Divine Void inspired.
These Divine Sense and wills can temporarily resist the erosion of the calamity's energy.
However, as Chen Dengming actively contracted his Divine Sense will, only Divine Void's Divine Sense will remained, fiercely resisting the erosion of the tribulation energy, and began to show signs of depletion.
However, not long after, Chen Dengming's expression gradually became strange.
As the Divine Sense will of Divine Void was eroded by the calamity energy, the numerous Incense and Faith powers contained within that will quickly fueled the calamity energy, transforming it into resentment filled with human emotions and desires, which then formed Karma.
It's not surprising that calamity can give rise to Karma.
Chen Dengming had already made preparations and anticipated this.
But at this moment, seeing this situation, Chen Dengming immediately recalled the karmic Karma swirling around the wound when Tianxian was injured, and the resentment of Human World emotions and desires contained within that Karma.
Suddenly, it was as if a lightning bolt had flashed through my mind.
"Could it be that the celestial beings of yesteryear also imitated my method, using poison to fight poison, and letting the calamity energy erode the Immortal Intent within the injured Flesh and Blood? Was that why the calamity energy was able to take advantage? Did they overdo it?"
With this thought in mind, Chen Dengming felt even more strongly that this was a very likely thing to happen.
His current actions may be similar to those of a celestial being from the past.
History often repeats itself.
Despite his alarm, Chen Dengming remained calm.
Compared to the karmic Karma of tribulation that a celestial being endures, the amount of tribulation he is currently generating is not particularly terrifying. Moreover, the karmic Karma of tribulation generated at this moment is mainly due to the erosion and transformation of the Incense and Faith power of the Divine Void.
His Flesh and Blood were perfectly clean, without generating much Karma, let alone the terrifying Karma of a human immortal.
"Better safe than sorry. Calamity can amplify the probability of misfortune and disaster, so we must not be careless!"
Chen Dengming remained vigilant, carefully observing how the calamity energy eroded and eroded his Divine Void Divine Sense, and constantly manipulating the Fortune Wheel formed by the Great Fortune Reaching the Heavens to reverse the calamity energy into blessings.
He planned to use the Fortune White Lotus Fire to burn his Flesh and Blood one last time to completely eliminate the calamity and ensure a safe outcome.
This attempt to win over Divine Void for support not only failed but also resulted in significant losses for Chen Dengming. However, it wasn't entirely without gains.
This encounter with Divine Void not only gave him a clearer understanding of his own strength, but also gave him some confidence in uncovering Divine Void's past secrets.
He even gained insights into the 'Immobilization Technique' used in the Incense Godhood Path, drawing upon his understanding of this path.
Now.
As the calamity eroded the Divine Sense will within his Flesh and Blood, Chen Dengming's eyes blazed with White Light, his Dao power flowed abundantly, and the phantom of ten thousand heart flames quickly appeared in his pupils.
Ten thousand flames of passion spun rapidly in his pupils, gradually transforming into the shapes of human eyes, like vivid little black dots, converging into pupils within his eyes.
The Eyes of All Beings!
Chen Dengming turned his eyes to look at the Divine Void will entangled on the Flesh and Blood shrouded in calamity aura.
Using the power to read people's minds, we can uncover the secrets within the will of the Divine Void.
However, countless blurry images rapidly flashed through Divine Void's will, all of which were the hidden secrets of his mind.
These spiritual secrets are not all the secrets of the Divine Void mind.
Rather, it was a brief message that Chen Dengming had captured from the expression in Divine Void's eyes after he had sent a Divine Sense stimulus to Shenxu while Divine Void was conscious.
The eyes are the windows to the soul.
Any secret message between two minds can be revealed through a glance.
In the previous probing exchanges.
Like the Divine Void, Heavenly Dao, in a brief moment of lucidity, was stimulated by Chen Dengming's Divine Sense conveying the information about the Chess Game of Lan Ke Mountain and the battle of that year, and his eyes revealed some information.
However, Chen Dengming lacked the right opportunity and conditions to steal the mind of the Heavenly Dao, which would be stealing the secrets of Heaven.
However, at this moment, with the immortal's ability to see into people's hearts, it is still possible to try to steal the secrets revealed in the mind of the Divine Void being.
The numerous streams of information that rapidly pass through the Divine Void will are so vast that ordinary people would find it difficult to even perceive them, let alone comprehend them.
However, Chen Dengming, with the help of the Eyes of All Beings, was able to observe quickly and vaguely how to perform mental arithmetic.
With his newly reconstructed Dao body and mental capacity, he is fully capable of withstanding the enormous burden of mental calculation.
A few breaths later.
Chen Dengming's eyes fluctuated violently with Dao power, suddenly sweeping over a large number of chaotic and invalid information fragments, and locking onto the scenes of information that had fluctuated in the Divine Void's will.
With his powerful mental calculation skills, he reassembled these scenes.
But in the scene, Divine Void was enveloped in the Myriad Mother Qi, returning to the Divine Heavenly Court.
However, the Divine Heavenly Court was now completely destroyed, filled with eerie ghostly energy and calamity. Many Qi cultivators who had been granted titles died tragically, seemingly annihilated in both body and soul, Incense and Faith had also collapsed.
Divine Void a long howl amidst the ruins, his voice filled with sorrow and anger. Suddenly, his entire body burst into a terrifying Karma Red Lotus Fire.
Then the scene shifts, and the realm of Incense and Faith in the Divine Heavenly Court collapses. Many buildings begin to crumble in the rolling calamity, falling from the Sky Dome to the devastated Human World.
Divine Void struggled desperately amidst the Karma Red Lotus Fire, then suddenly raised his hand and grabbed a large amount of Incense and Faith.
This powerful aura of Incense and Faith suddenly transformed into a streak of light, scattering down upon the mortal Human World filled with calamity, as if sowing the seeds of Incense and Faith.
This scene in the Divine Sense's will came to an abrupt end.
Chen Dengming's eyes were bloodshot.
In a mere instant, capturing and piecing together numerous fragmented messages and images placed an even greater Mental Strength strain on him than casting the Heavenly Prison.
The myriad pupils in his eyes quickly contracted and disappeared.
After calming down for a while...
Chen Dengming reached out and rubbed his temples to relieve the swelling and fatigue in his brain.
Based on the information he had, he was gradually able to figure out the truth behind Divine Void's fall from a deity to a Divine Void.
"It seems that after fighting the Celestial Immortal, Divine Void returned to the Divine Heavenly Court only to find that it had been destroyed by the Divine Heavenly Court Immortal who had severely injured him in the past."
Once, a ghost immortal stole the Myriad Mother Qi from an earth immortal, and then a deity stole the Myriad Mother Qi from the ghost immortal. This is all karma and retribution.
During the Eternal Great Tribulation, if a ghost immortal retaliates against the Divine Heavenly Court, it will be considered a man-made disaster and magnified into Karma.
Chen Dengming looked at the Flesh and Blood that were gradually being 'purified' within the calamity energy.
"The Divine Heavenly Court collapsed and disintegrated, many of the conferred cultivators died tragically, and under the backlash of Incense and Faith, Divine Void was also entangled in the Karma Red Lotus Fire."
In his final act, he released the power of Incense and Faith to sow seeds of hope among humankind. It seems he saw hope in the Human World, perhaps inspired by the game of chess he played with the celestial beings, knowing that hope lay in the human realm. Thus, he sought to draw new power of Incense and Faith from the most tragic Human World.
But by then, he had already suffered a severe backlash, and was also consumed by Karma Fire, so he fell from the rank of True Immortal to Dao Venerable, becoming insane and mentally unstable.
As Chen Dengming pondered this, a glimmer of light gradually appeared in his previously thoughtful eyes.
He felt that he had grasped some of the clues to the hope that celestial beings and immortals had once seen together.
The clue lies in the final solution to the game of chess between heaven and earth; perhaps the final solution is him, the variable, or perhaps it lies in the Human World!
At the same time.
In the vast universe, on the outskirts of the Ancient Realm, numerous streams of light radiating intense flames suddenly rushed from the distant, tranquil universe, gradually approaching the Ancient Realm.
But then, many streams of light converged to form a river of light.
The River of Light resembled the majestic form of a giant fire phoenix, radiating powerful spiritual energy that shook the entire universe.
Within a colossal Wutong Tree atop the River of Light, a tree burning like a crimson flame, sat the majestic figure of the Phoenix Cry Dao Venerable on his supreme throne, his ruby-like phoenix eyes fixed intently on the Ancient Realm, as he waved his hand.
Immediately, beneath his immortal throne and within the numerous arks behind it, cultivators from the Phoenix Cry Dao Domain steered their arks rapidly toward the Ancient Realm, resembling a vast, flowing river of blazing fire that began to encircle the eight directions of the Ancient Realm.
Witnessing this magnificent scene, Huang Yun couldn't help but take a deep breath. A hint of shock, confusion, and pity appeared on her delicate face.
Even though the target this time is the natives of the Ancient Realm, who Non-Self kind.
But after all, it's a devastating event that involves Fire Refining Starry Sky and causing immense suffering to all living beings.
She didn't understand why her usually arrogant and disdainful master, who disdained bullying the weak, was now willing to go so far as to Fire Refining Starry Sky in order to force Chen Dengming to leave the Ancient Realm and face death.
They actually wanted the lives of an entire indigenous population to endorse one person.
Could it be that, in the proud heart of his master, Chen Dengming, who is clearly not even Dao Venerable, truly poses such a great threat?
If this person doesn't die, could it truly become a catastrophe for the New Realm?
