A pool of rotten flesh, wreathed in Karma Fire and brimming with Daoist power and will, thrashed endlessly in the air, stubbornly trying to regenerate and be reborn once more.

Even Spirit Transmutation Dao Lord can be reborn from a drop of blood.

For a powerful figure like Phoenix Cry Dao Venerable, even though the Dao Domain has suffered heavy damage, as long as the Dao Domain has not completely collapsed and his own will has not been completely extinguished, it is naturally difficult for him to die.

Chen Dengming was also very clear that killing a Dao Venerable completely was not so simple.

Only with a higher level of power and will can their will be completely obliterated, thus achieving the goal of completely killing them.

Therefore, after the body of Phoenix Cry Dao Venerable was destroyed, he immediately used the Immobilization Technique again, using the power of time to obliterate Phoenix Cry Dao Venerable.

He suddenly pointed out, and his legs, which were sculpted by the Heavenly Longevity Hall, cracked open again with a series of popping sounds.

A powerful Heavenly Dao Power, gathering the majestic aura of time and possessing a trace of Immortal Intent aura resembling rules, transformed into human form and suddenly lunged out, enveloping the churning flesh Flesh and Blood.

The Chen Family Immobilization Technique, an Immobilization Technique developed by Chen Dengming through combining his understanding of the Heavenly Human Time Method, is the crystallization of his wisdom in achieving perfection in the Great Dao, and is infinitely close to immortal arts.

It is not limited to the state of time standing still, but also includes a variety of different states such as time acceleration, time slowing down, and time chaos.

Now, with the blessing of the Heavenly Dao Power, this Immobilization Technique has suddenly developed a trace of Immortal Intent.

But as Chen Dengming pointed his finger, the churning Flesh and Blood and blood instantly slowed down.

Within his Flesh and Blood, the will of the Phoenix Cry Dao Venerable was also rapidly eroded and stripped of its Life Force by this trace of time rule containing Immortal Intent.

Chen Dengming felt the immense Heavenly Dao Power rapidly dissipating.

The power required to cast Immobilization Technique to immobilize a Dao Venerable and alter the influence of Dao Venerable Heavenly Timing on him is far greater than that required to allow a Spirit Transformation to cultivate in the Heavenly Timing environment for a hundred years.

However, compared to a state where time is completely frozen, at least a state where time is slowed down results in much less loss of energy and the effect is not disappointing.

The Flesh and Blood of Phoenix Cry Dao Venerable were trapped in a state of time slowing down, wriggling at a snail's pace. The will within his Flesh and Blood was also constantly being worn away by the trace of Immortal Intent rules contained in the Technique Method. He was subjected to the baptism of time and the vicissitudes of life, suffering greatly.

In this state, it was already extremely difficult for Phoenix Cry Dao Venerable to concentrate his will, let alone fully recover.

However, this is not enough. The damage from the Immobilization Technique is difficult to achieve in a very short time even for cultivators of the same realm who have reached the Dao Integration stage, let alone Dao Venerable.

If one wishes to use Immobilization Technique to obliterate the will and soul of Phoenix Cry Dao Venerable until he perishes, it would be difficult to accomplish even after he escapes.

However, the fact that it is difficult to do does not mean that there is absolutely no chance of it being possible.

As long as there is a chance of success, Chen Dengming can use his Great Fortune Reaching the Heavens, combined with the Eyes of All Beings and mental calculation, to pinpoint low-probability events of collapse and turn the impossible into possible.

He quickly made a hand seal and used the "Great Fortune Reaching the Heavens" technique, and a Fortune Wheel appeared in front of him, spinning rapidly.

As a great deal of good fortune arose, countless Eyes of All Beings in Chen Dengming's eyes shot out cold Silver Light, locking onto the frozen Flesh and Blood of Phoenix Cry Dao Venerable, observing that the will within his Flesh and Blood began to weaken under the erosion of Immortal Intent, collapsing little by little.

In that instant, he seemed to transform into a detached observer of the Heavenly Dao, looking down upon all living beings. Anything that was possible or impossible gained meaning through this "observation."

Like Schrödinger's cat, when placed in the box, it may or may not exist.

Whether it actually exists or not, no one knows for sure until the box is opened and observed directly.

When the box is opened, the presence of observation causes things that were not originally present to appear; this is the interference effect of observation on probability waves.

At this moment, Chen Dengming, observing the weakening and collapsing will of Phoenix Cry Dao Venerable through the Eyes of All Beings, has already locked onto these collapsing wills and continuously locked onto the occurrence of low-probability events.

Under the Heavenly Fortune Qi of Great Fortune Reaching the Heavens, Phoenix Cry Dao Venerable's will weakened and collapsed. Gradually influenced by Chen Dengming's observational will, his collapse accelerated.

This once vibrant mass of Flesh and Blood, brimming with power, gradually lost its vitality due to the widespread collapse of Phoenix Cry Dao Venerable's will.

Phoenix Cry Dao Venerable, who was in a state of time slowing down, suddenly felt an unprecedented threat of death and panic.

Her will began to weaken and collapse at an irresistible speed; it was simply unbelievable that even her strong will could not mount a firm resistance against this force.

Chen Dengming's eyes burst forth with an almost tangible silver light, and blood vessels gradually appeared in his dense pupils. His already damaged brain was working under immense strain, and he was gradually feeling extremely strained.

The Dao Venerable's Flesh and Blood contained too much will, like the sand in an entire desert. Even with his Eyes of All Beings, mental calculation, and boundless imagination, he could not lock onto it all.

Therefore, the only option is to quickly lock onto the weaker waves of will one by one, picking the softest persimmons first, and breaking through the opponent's overall defense line from point to surface.

Even so, it's not an easy task.

Fortunately, Phoenix Cry Dao Venerable's Divine Sense will was indeed rapidly weakening and collapsing at this moment.

If this continues, he will completely destroy the opponent's will and gain a mass of Flesh and Blood containing the power of Dao Venerable.

However, at that moment, a blazing Heavenly Fire formed a tail of flame and suddenly descended from the sky.

Divine Void's figure appeared from behind, muttering to himself, and at that moment, launched a sudden attack.

This was completely unexpected for Chen Dengming. He had already taken control of the situation and gained the upper hand, so there was no need for any other external forces to intervene.

Divine Void, however, was clearly not clear-headed and acted completely unpredictably, suddenly launching an attack on Phoenix Cry Dao Venerable.

This attack will also disrupt his Immobilization Technique, potentially breaking the time-slowing effect.

However, even though he realized something was wrong, Chen Dengming was powerless to stop it given Heavenly Fire's speed and the fact that all his energy was tied up at the moment.

Moment!

Bang the ground!

Heavenly Fire struck the Flesh and Blood of Phoenix Cry Dao Venerable, who was trapped in a time-slowed state.

This boundless and fervent flame of faith, while rapidly destroying the will and power of the Phoenix Cry Dao Venerable within his Flesh and Blood, also shook space and time, disrupting his time-slowed, fixed state.

Although Phoenix Cry Dao Venerable's Divine Sense will was swiftly destroyed by the Heavenly Fire, leaving her feeling intensely weak and in pain, she was, after all, Dao Venerable. In an instant, she rallied her resolve, seized this fleeting opportunity, and unleashed all the power within her Flesh and Blood, letting out a fierce roar.

"Chen Dengming, I do not believe it! Even if I exert all my strength, I cannot bring you to your death!"

"Tumultuous!--"

A burst of blazing flame erupted in the sky, like a blooming red lotus, instantly engulfing and covering half of Chen Dengming's body.

The incomparably fierce Karma Red Lotus Fire instantly spread throughout his entire body.

At this moment, even the Heavenly Dao was extremely wary and quickly withdrew its enormous hand.

Chen Dengming immediately felt the pain of Karma Fire engulfing his entire body. This pain was not just Physical Body pain, but a torment to his soul, caused by the entanglement of all the karmic forces formed in the past.

Suddenly, strange, gray-black images flashed through his mind, indistinct and unfathomable, as if representing some unsolvable mystery of his past and present lives.

The answers to these mysteries would never be revealed, and even Chen Dengming himself would not have been aware of their existence. As the saying goes, if there is nothing to begin with, where can dust settle?

But at this moment, these mysteries are pulled out by the threads of cause and effect, representing a connection that seems to exist with him.

In the instant these mysteries were unearthed.

The New Realm, deep within the universe.

A figure of enormous size, comparable to Cultivation Star, suddenly opened its eyes.

His eyes were like stars, radiating endless, profound light, and his whole body exuded a domineering and powerful aura that sent chills down one's spine. He was as mysterious and unfathomable as the unfathomable universe.

But there was often a sense of bewilderment in his eyes, as if he were bewildered by the very few things in this vast universe that were difficult to understand.

Those things weren't even the Eternal Great Tribulation, nor were they about achieving immortality; it seemed those were never things he cared about or valued.

He remained indifferent to the actions of Phoenix Cry Dao Venerable and Great Enlightenment towards the Ancient Realm, like a passerby traveling through the deep space of the universe, a detached observer.

But now, although there was still confusion in his eyes, a doubt that had not appeared for a long time also arose. He felt that some mysteries that had always lingered in his mind were beginning to be revealed.

Almost simultaneously, a Karma Red Lotus Fire, which would make even immortals wary, suddenly appeared out of thin air from his outstretched fingertip.

His pupils contracted slightly, and his boundless will suddenly locked onto this Karma Red Lotus Fire. The starry sky reflected in his deep pupils also instantly revealed the scene within the Ancient Realm. He immediately saw the figure within the Ancient Realm covered by the Karma Red Lotus Fire and the Flesh and Blood of the Phoenix Cry Dao Venerable.

"He?"

A voice filled with doubt came from the mouth of the Vast Sky Dao Venerable.

Without any pause or thought, a vast and boundless will suddenly condensed in his eyes, like a raging torrent sweeping across the universe, forming a terrifying will that was transmitted outwards.

As the Karma Red Lotus Fire stirred up indistinct, gray-black images in his mind, Chen Dengming could no longer feel the intense pain of being entangled by the Karma Fire.

Even when the Karma Fire surged into the soul, it provoked resistance and defense from the Fortune White Lotus Fire.

The phoenix-shaped symbol that was devoured by the Fortune White Lotus Fire helped to resist the impact of Phoenix Cry Dao Venerable's will and power, preventing Chen Dengming from being defeated by Phoenix Cry Dao Venerable's fierce counterattack in the first instance.

This counterattack, after all, was formed by Phoenix Cry Dao Venerable gathering his last strength, a process described as "first prosperity, second decline, and third exhaustion."

After Chen Dengming withstood the first fierce counterattack, Phoenix Cry Dao Venerable's second wave of attacks was somewhat weakened. Her willpower had been greatly depleted, and her soul had become even weaker as a result.

At that very moment, a vast and boundless terrifying will, seemingly traversing endless time and space, suddenly struck from an extremely distant place, containing an overwhelming and unfathomable power, and fiercely impacted the Flesh and Blood of Phoenix Cry Dao Venerable.

The already extremely weak will of Phoenix Cry Dao Venerable was instantly shattered into countless fragments by this vast and terrifyingly powerful will, drifting aimlessly without even realizing who had suddenly made the move.

"This is.?"

Chen Dengming was suddenly horrified, but he quickly recovered and didn't care about anything else. He forced himself to endure the pain of his brain crashing and quickly locked onto the scattered unconscious Divine Sense of the many Phoenix Cry Dao Venerables.

Among these numerous Divine Sense was even the scattered divine soul of Phoenix Cry Dao Venerable after he was defeated.

If Phoenix Cry Dao Venerable had not already exhausted most of his power and had not had most of his will shattered by Chen Dengming, it would have been difficult for his will and soul to be defeated, thus reaching this near-death state.

At this moment, as Chen Dengming used the Eyes of All Beings to lock onto the unconscious thoughts of many Phoenix Cry Dao Venerable Divine Sense, he immediately used mental calculation to extract a low-probability fluctuation from the vast amount of unconsciousness—soul annihilation!

"Die!!"

Chen Dengming strengthened his Divine Sense will, Fortune Wheel above his head spun loudly, showering down abundant Heavenly Fortune Qi and forcibly collapsing this low-probability wave.

Boom!--

Within the Flesh and Blood wreathed in crimson Karma Fire, countless unconscious, shattered Divine Sense and souls were utterly annihilated, their very essence destroyed, with no possibility of recovery.

Although this mass of Flesh and Blood still possesses strong vitality and power, there is no longer any will of Phoenix Cry Dao Venerable remaining within Flesh and Blood cells.

Phoenix Cry, a Dao Venerable and one of the three strongest giants in the New Realm, whose fire egg was born from the first phoenix in the world, has been completely destroyed, with no possibility of phoenix rebirth.

Chen Dengming breathed a sigh of relief upon realizing that the will of Phoenix Cry Dao Venerable had completely ceased to exist.

Suddenly, at that moment, he heard a series of powerful spiritual forces and angry shouts coming from afar, which shook his mind and made him tense up. He immediately looked over.

But not far away, Divine Void's figure, which had been majestic and sometimes mad, was now also surrounded by Karma Red Lotus Fire.

The fire clearly caused the Divine Void immense pain, making him stumble and fall through the air, constantly casting spells to try and extinguish it.

However, the Karma Red Lotus Fire is a flame formed by cause Karma, and it cannot be extinguished so easily.

Because Divine Void had repeatedly attacked Phoenix Cry Dao Venerable, he naturally became tainted by the Karma Fire after the Karma Red Lotus Fire erupted on Phoenix Cry Dao Venerable's body.

Chen Dengming immediately looked towards the Heavenly Dao in the distant chaos.

But then, the gaze of the Heavenly Dao, which had been clear but was gradually becoming murky, was cast upon them, revealing a hint of satisfaction.

Their eyes met.

Chen Dengming immediately understood why Heavenly Dao had chosen to use him instead of personally dealing with Phoenix Cry Dao Venerable.

Clearly, the Heavenly Dao, having regained its senses, was well aware of the thorny dangers of the Karma Red Lotus Fire and was unwilling to be tainted by it.

However, Divine Void was insane and not in his right mind. He acted rashly and was naturally tainted by the Karma Fire brought by Phoenix Cry Dao Venerable.

At this moment, Chen Dengming realized that the Karma Fire swirling around his body seemed to have weakened considerably with the complete demise of Phoenix Cry Dao Venerable.

Within the soul, the Fortune White Lotus Fire, which was initially on the defensive, immediately began to counterattack, devouring the Karma Red Lotus Fire to strengthen itself. This cycle of fortune and misfortune clearly demonstrated the transformative relationship between fortune and misfortune, where misfortune is the foundation of fortune, and fortune is the harbinger of misfortune.

Seeing this, Chen Dengming breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that the previous blessings from the Great Fortune Reaching the Heavens were not without effect.

Divine Void's sudden intervention was an unexpected variable. After all, this former immortal, even if his realm and rank had fallen, was still on par with the Heavenly Dao and was largely unaffected by the influence of the Great Fortune Reaching the Heavens.

Overall, although Divine Void was eccentric, his repeated actions were a great help to Chen Dengming; otherwise, this battle might have been fraught with complications.

Chen Dengming planned to help Divine Void resolve his Karma Fire after it was assimilated by the Fortune White Lotus Fire. This would be his way of repaying Shenxu, a case of reaping what you sow.

However, what puzzled him even more at this moment was the mysterious and powerful will that had been unleashed earlier.

"Who exactly is it?"

Chen Dengming pondered with doubt in his heart.

In his recent experience, the will that seemed to come from a very distant place gave him a feeling that it was even more powerful than that of Phoenix Cry Dao Venerable, the Heavenly Dao, and Divine Void.

"It can't be the Great Enlightenment Dao Venerable. Could it be another New Realm Dao Venerable? He has a grudge against Phoenix Cry, which is why he made his move at this time. Doesn't he fear the Karma Fire?"

Many doubts arose in Chen Dengming's mind.

If it weren't for the sudden intervention of that mysterious expert, the struggle between him and Phoenix Cry Dao Venerable would have continued for a long time, and the outcome would have been uncertain.

While it was difficult to destroy the remaining Divine Sense will of the opponent, he also lacked the power to completely obliterate the Divine Sense will of Phoenix Cry Dao Venerable.

Even the smallest blade of grass has roots that take hold deep in the earth, and it will grow again when the spring breeze blows next year. Not to mention Dao Venerable, even beings of the same realm would find it no easy task to kill each other.

However, now that Phoenix Cry Dao Venerable has truly perished, the remaining mass of Flesh and Blood, brimming with power, is a vast resource for the entire Ancient Realm, a true example of how a whale's fall can give birth to all things.

Chen Dengming could feel the Phoenix True Blood within his body boiling because of this mass of Flesh and Blood and blood. His fractured legs and severely damaged brain also began to recover rapidly as the Phoenix True Blood boiled.

He looked at the burning flesh and Flesh and Blood in front of him, reached out and said, "This mass of Flesh and Blood of the Dao Venerable is entangled in Karma Fire. Only my Fortune White Lotus Fire can assimilate and eliminate it. My realm has long since reached the perfection of the Dao, only lacking the foundation of Dao power."

Now, with the help of this Dao Venerable's Flesh and Blood, perhaps one can leap forward in Dao power and enter the realm of Dao Venerable.

"By the way, Dongfang and Old Qu."

Chen Dengming was suddenly startled, realizing that his two comrades had been severely injured after withstanding a blow from Phoenix Cry Dao Venerable, and their fates were now unknown.

He knew all too well how troublesome the Phoenix Dao Fire was; even he himself had nearly perished in the past. The situation of his two comrades was likely dire.
