Heavenly Mandate Descends Upon This Person! The Legacies of Two Great True Immortals
When Chen Dengming's Divine Sense detected Dongfang Huayuan and Qu Shenzong, he discovered that their Dao bodies were almost completely carbonized and were still floating in the Outer Heaven, their bodies surrounded by Phoenix Dao Fire that could not be dispelled.
A large Golden Light Buddha statue appeared out of nowhere and stood guard beside the two. The three of them worked together to resist and dispel the burning Phoenix Dao Fire.
"The Living Buddha Venerable!"
Upon seeing this, Chen Dengming actually breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, Phoenix Cry Dao Venerable's target was clearly not Dongfang Huayuan and Qu Shenzong.
Currently, these two are only physically entangled by the Phoenix Dao Fire; the fire has not yet invaded their souls according to the will of the Phoenix Cry Dao Venerable, otherwise, the trouble would be much greater.
Dongfang Huayuan might be able to survive with the protection of the Human God Hall, but Qu Shenzong might have his soul completely burned away.
What's even more remarkable is that when these two made their move, Phoenix Cry Dao Venerable was not entangled by the Karma Red Lotus Fire. Otherwise, the two of them would have been attacked by the Karma Red Lotus Fire, which would have been even more troublesome.
Chen Dengming waited a while longer, until the last Karma Red Lotus Fire on his body was also devoured and transformed by the Fortune White Lotus Fire in his soul.
He immediately attempted to use his own Phoenix True Blood to attract the Phoenix Dao Fire that was swirling around Dongfang Huayuan and Qu Shenzong in the distance.
As soon as he had the thought, the phoenix-shaped symbol beside his soul, which had been devoured by the Fortune White Lotus Fire, began to flash with Golden Light.
Instantly, a mass of Flesh and Blood, radiating light and surging Dao fire, was drawn to him and began to attach itself to him.
Then came the enormous, cracked Fire Wutong Tree Staff.
The Phoenix Dao Fire that were swirling around Dongfang Huayuan and Qu Shenzong in the distance seemed to have been summoned, and they quickly left their bodies and converged on Chen Dengming.
Chen Dengming was startled and used his powerful Dao force to shake off the scalding Flesh and Blood before it could touch his body.
He had a great need for the power contained in this mass of Flesh and Blood, but he was still not comfortable absorbing it so hastily.
After all, it is the flesh and Flesh and Blood of the Dao Venerable, so it is necessary to carefully examine the Flesh and Blood again for any potential threats.
However, at this moment, the phoenix symbol flew out from his soul, autonomously attracting his physical Flesh and Blood, the fire Wutong Tree staff, and the Phoenix Dao Fire to gather around him. They floated beside him according to his will, without rashly approaching him again.
Seeing this, Chen Dengming gradually felt relieved.
This phoenix symbol might be a treasure surpassing even Dao artifacts. It has been assimilated by the Fortune White Lotus Fire and previously even helped him resist the backlash of Phoenix Cry Dao Venerable's will. It can be said that it has completely betrayed him and abandoned darkness for light.
Therefore, the fact that the phoenix symbol is currently under his control makes Chen Dengming feel very at ease.
He carefully observed the phoenix-shaped symbol.
The symbol was clearly shaped like a piece of jade bone, but it was almost transparent and looked like a phoenix symbol radiating Golden Light.
Its surface is enveloped in golden flames, while its interior seems to contain some kind of rule. Just by hovering in the void, it evokes a sense of terror that the void itself cannot bear.
This sense of terror stems from the dangerous feeling created by the phoenix symbol, which seems poised to melt through layers of space at any moment.
Chen Dengming then looked at the giant fire Wutong Tree staff.
However, the terrifying sense of danger emanating from this staff was equally strong; twelve fiery red Wutong Tree hung from the Fire Parasol Staff.
These four leaves of the Fire Tree leaf alone demonstrated extraordinary and terrifying power, let alone the entire Fire Parasol Staff. This treasure is clearly a treasure of the same level as the Phoenix Symbol.
At this moment, although cracks had appeared on the staff, they could be seen slowly healing in the misty firelight.
Chen Dengming was also delighted upon seeing them. "Resources, these are all resources. These two treasures are probably extremely important to Phoenix Cry Dao Venerable. I've never seen them taken out before."
More importantly, he might be able to use these two treasures quite skillfully.
After observing with his Divine Sense that Dongfang Huayuan and Qu Shenzong had escaped the threat of the Phoenix Dao Fire, Chen Dengming breathed a sigh of relief and sent a telepathic message to them.
"Dongfang, Senior Qu, please recover slowly. Once I have dealt with the Karma Red Lotus Fire, I will help you repair your bodies!"
Dongfang Huayuan weakly transmitted his voice, "Alright, I know you're capable, you really are capable, you actually killed this firebird."
"We two old folks are no good anymore; we couldn't even hold them off for two moves. We weren't even able to help you; we were just a burden."
Qu Shenzong smiled bitterly, "The younger generation surpasses the older generation. It was expected that we would be overtaken by Nephew Disciple Chen. However, I didn't expect that we would become a complete burden in this battle."
Both of them were extremely ambitious individuals who were once influential figures in the Ancient Realm, and they dared to make a move even when facing Dao Venerable.
However, compared to Chen Dengming, the gap was already too large, which greatly saddened the two of them.
"You two shouldn't underestimate yourselves. I was just lucky to have a body that was forged by the Phoenix Dao Fire, which made me more resistant to blows."
After comforting the two for a few moments, Chen Dengming realized that they were just venting their frustrations and that there was nothing wrong with their Dao hearts, so he immediately felt relieved.
Now that he had lost the support of the Heavenly Dao Power, his body size had returned to normal.
After the Karma Red Lotus Fire was devoured by the Fortune White Lotus Fire, the size of the Fortune White Lotus Fire within his soul had increased considerably.
Upon mental observation, it appeared to be the size of a chicken egg, more than twice the size of the previous pigeon egg.
"The Fortune White Lotus Fire is even more powerful now. Eliminating the Karma Red Lotus Fire swirling around Divine Void shouldn't be too difficult."
Chen Dengming allowed the phoenix-shaped jade talisman to immobilize the Flesh and Blood and treasures of Phoenix Cry Dao Venerable, and then he quickly flew towards the distant Divine Void.
After an incense stick has burned.
It took Chen Dengming a tremendous amount of effort to successfully remove the Karma Red Lotus Fire from Divine Void's body.
The main reason was that Divine Void was crazy and didn't know what was good for him. He didn't understand that Chen Dengming was trying to help him resolve the Karma Red Lotus Fire, and he used a freezing Immobilization Technique twice to immobilize Chen Dengming.
Fortunately, the opponent was restrained by the Karma Red Lotus Fire and did not unleash any killing moves; otherwise, Chen Dengming would have been unable to help the opponent and would have had to protect himself as well.
As the last wisp of the Karma Red Lotus Fire was devoured and transformed by the Fortune White Lotus Fire, Chen Dengming saw the face of the ghost immortal roaring in resentment within the Karma Fire, and saw the resentful faces of those who had been conferred titles by the Divine Heavenly Court in the past. He couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.
This Divine Void is also burdened with heavy karmic obstacles.
With so much karmic burden that has corrupted his former immortal cultivation, and even the Divine Heavenly Court of the Dao Domain collapsing, it is already remarkable that he did not perish in the Eternal Great Tribulation, let alone recover his former peak state.
At this moment, the Karma Red Lotus Fire was completely cleared by Chen Dengming. Divine Void, who had been screaming in agony from the burning Karma Fire, was stunned in place. Then, his mad eyes seemed to gradually regain some focus and he became somewhat clear-headed.
He looked around, his eyes becoming increasingly clear, and the terrifying and domineering pressure emanating from his body intensified. Suddenly, his gaze fell upon the Heavenly Dao in the distant chaos, and he burst into laughter, his body trembling slightly.
"Oh, heavens, you are truly wise. You were the first to awaken before me, thus avoiding the Karma Fire and averting another calamity in the Ancient Realm."
It seems you are still a step ahead in chess; the variable of your missing corner in your game back then has finally reappeared after countless ages."
"So the celestial being's former name was Gao Tian."
Chen Dengming's heart skipped a beat, and he began to retreat without making a sound.
Within that chaos, the gaze of the Heavenly Dao was already clouded, about to enter a deeper slumber. Even its aura was weakening, seemingly relying on Chen Dengming, which further increased his consumption and added to the danger of falling into depravity.
Upon hearing Divine Void's laughter, the Heavenly Dao deep within the chaos slightly opened its eyes, which were about to close, its gaze seemingly weary, and uttered a line of words.
Not enough. Still not enough.
"Not enough.?"
Divine Void fell into deep thought, his brows furrowed in contemplation, as if, given his long-standing state of being dazed and unclear-headed, he was still unable to grasp the deeper meaning behind this lack of clarity.
His gaze suddenly shifted to Chen Dengming.
Chen Dengming remained vigilant and had already retreated a considerable distance. When he saw Divine Void looking over, seemingly having regained some clarity, he immediately bowed and said...
"Senior! Junior Chen Dengming greets you, senior. Thank you for your previous assistance in fighting against the foreign enemy!"
"Foreign enemy."
Divine Void turned his head to look at the Flesh and Blood and blood that were fixed in the air by the phoenix-shaped jade talisman not far away. He arrogantly laughed with his hands behind his back, "It is nothing more than the fire egg born from the phoenix that I rode in the past. After the great calamity, it gained some success by obtaining the fortune of the new path of the universe, but it has forgotten its ancestors and classics. It is not worth regretting its death!"
Upon hearing this, Divine Void Chen Dengming was shocked. After regaining his senses, Shenxu's arrogant and domineering demeanor was exactly the same as the image he had witnessed in some scenes in the past.
Just then, from the depths of chaos, came once again the slightly weary voice of the Heavenly Dao.
"Divine Void, do not mention your past valor. Back then, you were also burned to ashes by that phoenix's Five-Colored Divine Fire, but I never heard you mention it."
"Now that the fire egg has brought disaster, it is a matter of cause and effect, a consequence of every action."
Divine Void was exposed by the Heavenly Dao on the spot, and his arrogant expression was somewhat embarrassed. Just as he was about to refute, the Heavenly Dao calmly said.
"The great calamity has not yet been averted; it is too early to say anything."
The death of this fiery egg is a calamity for the Ancient Realm, but it is not a good thing for all living beings in the universe. We will all be drawn into it. Whether we can survive this new calamity no longer depends on us."
Divine Void frowned upon hearing this, then lowered his head and began to make hand seals and calculate. A strange look gradually appeared in his eyes, but soon, a look of confusion appeared in his eyes, as if there were still things in this world that he could not calculate or comprehend.
Just as the confusion in his eyes deepened, he suddenly shuddered, his eyes regained some clarity, and he abruptly raised his head to look at the Heavenly Dao, snorting.
"Gao Tian, it seems your divination is indeed superior to my own. You have already foreseen some secrets of the future?"
Deep within the chaos, the Heavenly Dao remained silent, but suddenly two beams of luminous, materialized Heavenly Dao will shot forth from its eyes, directly piercing Chen Dengming's eyes.
Chen Dengming's heart stirred, but he did not dodge, allowing the two beams of Heaven's Will to shine into his eyes.
In an instant, he felt as if a massive, terrifying stream of information had rushed into his mind, causing his brain to almost collapse immediately.
Without hesitation, Chen Dengming activated Heavenly Heart Star and Open Door, entering a state of boundless imagination to receive this incredibly complex information.
After just a little sorting out, it became clear that these numerous information streams contained all the insights into the three paths of fortune, longevity, and destiny of the Immortal Celestial Lineage, and even included the two great immortal arts of the Heavenly Dao: the Sound of Time and the Heavenly Dao Reincarnation.
Chen Dengming was shocked, never expecting that the Heavenly Dao would be fully revealed at this moment.
In that instant, he, the inheritor of the Immortal Celestial Lineage, seemed to have completed a handover process with the Heavenly Dao, the former Celestial Immortal, a process of transition between the old and the new.
This is a step that neither the ancient First Ancestor Longevity Dao Lord, nor the Qu Shenzong reached.
Divine Void was greatly astonished by this, but then a hint of madness appeared on his arrogant face. As he laughed loudly, his eyes suddenly burst forth with astonishing divine light, shooting out a strong divine intent that went straight for Chen Dengming's eyes.
"Gao Tian! Whatever you foresaw this time, whatever choice you made, I will make the same choice as you. You won't get rid of me. Even if we perish together, I'll gamble with you!!"
Boom!!!--
A powerful and majestic divine will, along with the power of Incense and Faith, surged into Chen Dengming's mind and into his realm of Incense and Faith.
This was a powerful flow of information, no less powerful than the transmission of the Heavenly Dao, suddenly flooding Chen Dengming's mind.
His eyes bulged out instantly, blood spurted from his seven orifices, and his brain was stretched to the point of bursting by two terrifying streams of information. His brain was throbbing with pain, and he felt dizzy and disoriented.
The divine will contains a great deal of the Dao Intent inherited from the Immortal Way, and even includes Immobilization Technique, Heavenly Fire, and nine heavens Divine Thunder.
"Ah!--"
Even someone as strong-willed as Chen Dengming couldn't help but scream in pain as he was overwhelmed by the terrifying flow of information. He felt his brain couldn't take it anymore, and his consciousness and thoughts began to become somewhat chaotic from the massive amount of information.
Divine Void, this insane lunatic, completely disregards whether others can handle it. His crazy behavior is hardly that of someone trying to preach; it's more like he wants to kill them.
But this is indeed a tremendous fortuitous opportunity, and if we fail to seize it, we will definitely miss a golden chance.
We have to hold on, even if we can't!
And there's no way they can't hold out!
Chen Dengming let out a long roar, his whole body bursting with brilliant white light. The Heavenly Disk Nine Stars above his head appeared together, Human Disk Eight Gates within his body opened simultaneously. Using the Human Plate to determine the Heavenly Plate, all the corresponding trigrams began to rotate rapidly.
At the same time, as he made hand seals, his lifespan rapidly depleted, transforming into streams of Rong Qi that, combined with the Phoenix True Blood, quickly restored the damage to his brain.
It even begins to reshape the brain's structure and volume to accommodate the massive influx of information flooding into the brain at this time.
At this moment, Chen Dengming's brain was being damaged and repaired, repaired and damaged again, becoming more and more perfect and powerful, constantly receiving the insights and inheritances from the two former righteous immortals, Heavenly Dao and Divine Void.
This is the true acceptance of the Daoist tradition, and the most direct way to receive it—a tremendous stroke of luck.
But such an immense blessing is beyond the reach of ordinary people; the amount of information it contains may surpass that of thousands of capital cities in an instant.
With Chen Dengming's Dao Body, which is almost the strongest Dao Body below the Dao Venerable level, he can be described as having a head of stone.
However, even divine brains forged from such divine stones could not withstand the initial onslaught and required various means of assistance to survive this great opportunity.
In the distance, Dongfang Huayuan and Qu Shenzong witnessed this scene and were dumbfounded, their hearts trembling. From their initial envy, they were now somewhat frightened.
These two former Immortals were entrusted with a critical mission and passed on their inheritances. It is truly a case of Heaven bestowing a great responsibility upon such a person. No ordinary person could be like this, except for Chen Dengming.
