The moment the Five-Colored Divine Fire merged into the Dao Inner Domain, the entire Sky Dome of the Heavenly Human Life and Death Realm underwent astonishing changes.

The clouds in the sky inexplicably transformed into dazzling, bright, ever-changing, and radiant colors, and an intense heat suddenly rose from all directions of the Heavenly Human Life and Death Realm.

In an instant, the earth steamed fiercely, as if the ground itself were about to catch fire in the intense heat, burning hot and reflecting a sizzling, oily sheen. Everywhere was filled with steam, suffocation, intense heat, and stifling humidity.

Such a sudden and rapidly increasing temperature is unbearable for any mortal. Fortunately, all those living within the Heavenly Human Life and Death Realm are cultivators, who can withstand this rapidly increasing high temperature climate.

Chen Dengming's clone and the two women, Su Yan Yan, had already returned to the sect to take charge and had already spread the news.

Therefore, when the temperature in the Heavenly Human Life and Death Realm began to rise sharply, the vast majority of the Longevity Sect and Tiandao Sect cultivators hid within their sect's grand formation and were not threatened.

At this moment, Heavenly Human Hall, the Five-Colored Divine Fire and Chen Dengming's Dao Domain completely merged into one.

The entire Dao Domain was instantly distorted by the heat, and Chen Dengming's Dao power seemed to be boiling.

This terrifyingly high temperature was almost unbearable even for him, the spellcaster who controlled the Five-Colored Divine Fire, let alone the other Dao Lords.

If Chen Dengming's Dao body and soul had not already undergone the tempering of the Phoenix Dao Fire, and if his soul did not contain the Fortune White Lotus Fire, and his Dao body did not possess the Five Elements Heavenly Spiritual Root, he might not have been able to withstand it.

But now, all of this accumulated knowledge has become the solid foundation for his becoming Dao Venerable.

As he continuously channeled his Dao power into the Dao Domain, the distortion of the Dao Domain within the Five-Colored Divine Fire gradually eased, and it even began to adapt.

As Chen Dengming's thoughts drifted, he conveyed his understanding of the Five-Colored Divine Fire. The Five-Colored Divine Fire in the Dao Domain gradually came under his control, transforming into a rotating vortex of five-colored fire, becoming a Dao pattern, a rule of immortal art, imprinted on the Dao Domain.

Almost the instant the rules and the Dao Domain merged into one, the mysterious connection between the Outer Dao Domain and the internal Dao Domain was instantly broken.

It was as if a great curtain had been melted through by the rules of the Five-Colored Divine Fire, revealing a substantial spacetime passage that connected to the Outer Dao domain of the Heavenly Human Life and Death Realm.

Rumble! --

A large amount of matter suddenly shot out from inside the space-time channel, forming a spectacular yet terrifying flow of matter, which rapidly filled Chen Dengming's internal Dao Domain.

The Dao Domain rapidly transformed into Dao Soil. The surrounding space appeared strangely distorted in Chen Dengming's eyes, as if it could not bear the weight of the Dao Soil. Countless substances were drawn in by the spacetime channel, forming a huge vortex within the Dao Soil.

At this moment, the Heavenly Human Life and Death Realm also experienced a tremendous earthquake, and a luminous core area was born at the center of the realm.

That core area is connected to Chen Dengming's Daoist temple.

Before long, a small, multicolored, shimmering Daoist realm appeared before Chen Dengming.

It takes the form of a semicircle, with the bottom of the circle connected to an Eighteen Layers of Death Realm that resembles a cone-shaped tail. The uneven cross-section above represents the rivers, lakes, seas, and land of the Heavenly Human Life and Death Realm.

This place of Daoist cultivation seems to reflect the Heavenly Human Life and Death Realm, and is no different from the entire Heavenly Human Life and Death Realm.

Chen Dengming felt an unprecedented sense of omniscience and omnipotence in control.

This feeling wasn't just that he could Summon Wind and Rain within the Heavenly Human Life and Death Realm, which was a power that the Dao Lord already possessed; rather, it was that he could exert an even more incredible power by influencing the outside world through the Daoist land and its rules.

In particular, the power of the Five-Colored Divine Fire's rules had transformed into a scalding hot current, surging into his Five Elements Heavenly Spiritual Root, as if branding them with a rule.

At this moment, he felt that he could mobilize this power of rules at any time through the Daoist soil, without having to go through many troublesome spellcasting steps, and could instantly condense the Five-Colored Divine Fire.

But this is not the only improvement.

At this moment, he could feel that his lifespan, Dao power, and divine soul were all rapidly condensing and improving as the Dao soil was being gathered.

He seemed to have transformed into the ancient Heavenly Human Life and Death Realm, feeling the ancient and vicissitudes of this land, and even sensing the various traumas this land had experienced in the past, as well as a deep and terrifying aura of oppression.

The profound and terrifying aura of pressure caused Chen Dengming to feel a sense of déjà vu, yet also a chilling shiver, the moment he sensed it.

A scene flashed through his mind.

That scene was one I had encountered when I first came into contact with the Myriad Mother Qi. The scene was originally a dark gray, as if the Great Dao was boundless, before the beginning of creation.

In the midst of chaos, suddenly a pair of giant hands abruptly opened up the chaos, giving birth to a magnificent world.

The next moment, the scene flipped, showing a giant lying on the ground, his bones and hair transforming into mountains and forests, his blood evolving into rivers, lakes, seas, and countless living beings, his aura condensing into a wisp of primordial yellow energy (see Chapter 518).

Now that he has achieved the status of Dao Venerable and gathered Daoist followers, he has come across this scene again.

Chen Dengming's mind was struck as if by lightning, a series of booming sounds filling his head, and he immediately had a guess.

"Could it be that the Heavenly Immortal Realm of the past was formed from a portion of the body of the giant who created the world?"

At this moment, as the Dao soil receded and entered his brow, he could feel his own Dao power growing even faster.

At this moment, strange, gray-black images that had surfaced in his mind again, indistinct and unfathomable.

These images seem to represent some unfathomable mysteries of past and present lives.

Now, as he becomes the Dao Venerable, these mysteries resurface, but the somewhat gray and black images resemble peeling wallpaper, gradually revealing some blurry images and streaks of light.

In one scene, a rough hand is shown tearing through the darkness, instantly bursting forth with intense light.

This beam of light instantly erased all the images from Chen Dengming's mind.

He suddenly regained consciousness, feeling an abundance of Dao power within his body, with Dao soil floating inside him. His body possessed a terrifying power that could unleash at any moment to destroy Cultivation Star.

Chen Dengming frowned slightly, recalling the various scenes from before, his eyes filled with strange light, and he uttered two words.

"Variable."

He vaguely began to form some conjectures, and he also gained a slight understanding of the immortal technique of Heavenly Dao Reincarnation, which he had not comprehended for a long time.

Just then, a terrifying wave of Divine Sense will, traversing vast distances of time and space, was transmitted over.

Chen Dengming had sensed it a step ahead this time and met it with his Divine Sense and will.

"You've finally become Dao Venerable!"

The Divine Sense will that was transmitted was none other than the Vast Sky Dao Venerable.

Divine Sense Chen Dengming transmitted his thoughts, "Vast Sky Dao Venerable, are there some secrets you can tell me now?"

Vast Sky Dao Venerable calmly replied, "Once you've stabilized your cultivation level and resolved your affairs within the Ancient Realm, you can come find me."

As soon as he finished speaking, a message came through his Divine Sense, and the Divine Sense wave of the Vast Sky Dao Venerable quickly disappeared.

Chen Dengming's Divine Sense captured this message and immediately sensed a distant coordinate located deep within the universe.

If one were to fly to that coordinate location at a normal speed, it might be impossible to reach it even before one's lifespan ends.

Even with specially crafted Star Chart, it would take hundreds of years to complete.

But once Chen Dengming obtained these coordinates, he only needed to tear open the curtain to fold space, ignoring distant distances. No matter how far away the distance was, it was all within reach for him.

However, judging from what Vast Sky Dao Venerable said, what is about to happen is not simple, and he needs to make full preparations, even for the Ancient Realm.

Chen Dengming's expression turned serious.

Vast Sky Dao Venerable reminded him to be cautious, but the other party was also being cautious.

With the strength of the Vast Sky Dao Venerable, I'm afraid none of the current Dao Venerable could match him.

Is the Tribulation Qi Dharma Idol a match for the Vast Sky Dao Venerable?

They might not be a match for them either.

However, the Tribulation Qi Dharma Idol is born in response to calamity. If the Eternal Great Tribulation is not resolved, the Tribulation Qi Dharma Idol is unlikely to be destroyed and will only become stronger with each passing year.

What exactly is it that the Vast Sky Dao Venerable is treating with such utmost care?

Chen Dengming quickly regained his composure.

Whatever he may face next, having come this far, he will face it with equanimity.

He quickly summoned the remaining fourteen Five-Colored Golden Core, put them into his mouth, and consumed and refined them one by one.

Now that the five Spirit Root within his body have been imprinted with the rules of the Five-Colored Divine Fire, consuming these fourteen Five-Colored Golden Core is no longer so fiery or even painful.

The power of the Golden Core quickly transformed into streams of boundless Dao power, flowing into the Dao Soil, making it increasingly oppressive and causing its area to expand continuously.

Chen Dengming's heart skipped a beat.

The Incense and Faith realm floating in the Sea of Consciousness also flew to the top of the Dao Land and hovered there, just as it had once floated above the Dao Domain.

But now that the Daoist community has taken shape, the Incense and Faith community is like a rootless tree that has found its roots.

"My Dao soil is forged from the Five-Colored Divine Fire born from the original five elements of the universe. It has a rich foundation in the five elements and is suitable for living beings to reproduce, grow and inhabit."

It also has Eighteen Layers of Death Realm, separating the yin and yang, so that all those who are reborn have a place to go.

Chen Dengming introspectively examined the Daoist soil that was rapidly growing stronger under the infusion of Dao power, recalling the cruel ranks and the difference between immortals and mortals when he first entered the Cultivation World, and thought to himself.

"Now, I will divide Heaven and Hell once more. All those whose Yin Longevity in the underworld has not yet ended, who sincerely repent, or who died unexpectedly while devoutly believing in me in life, regardless of whether they are immortals or mortals, will no longer have any class or rank. All will be equal and can enter Heaven to enjoy their Yin Longevity again! And be reincarnated!"

With a hand seal, he cast an Immortal Way immortal Immobilization Technique.

"Certainly!!"

A deep, authoritative voice followed.

Words become law.

The world of Incense and Faith thus anchored itself above the Daoist land, Immobilization Technique into a rule, formed an imprint, deeply imprinted upon the Daoist land.

These rules are the fundamental rules of the Dao of Immortal Way.

Chen Dengming then made a hand seal and unleashed the celestial art of Heavenly Fire. His eyes suddenly shone brightly, and his white hair at his temples moved without wind.

"Reincarnation has been completed. Although all beings are equal, there must be a deterrent effect of punishment!"

Boom!--

Within the realm of Incense and Faith, the fervent faith of numerous Incense Believer converges into a cluster of Heavenly Fire. This fire, formed by the grand aspirations of Incense and Faith, is a causal force intertwined with cause and effect, making it impossible to extinguish by ordinary means.

After this fire was born, it also flew into the Daoist land, imprinting another rule mark, forming a flame that looked like many bright red faces, which was the rule of punishment in the Immortal Way.

Once this rule is established, anyone who stirs up a massive massacre within the Heavenly Human Life and Death Realm, committing acts that incur the wrath of heaven and the resentment of man, will be monitored by numerous Incense Believer in the Heavenly Court. Then, Heavenly Fire will descend to punish them, sending them to hell.

If one can sincerely repent and realize one's mistakes, one's spirit can ascend back to the Heavenly Court and enjoy a long life in the underworld.

In an instant, the oppressive power of the rules contained within the Daoist amplified several times over, and a vast and majestic prayer seemed to be chanting above, filled with piety and sacred majesty.

"The Heavenly Human Life and Death Realm! Separation!"

As Chen Dengming made his final hand seal, he let out a silent shout.

Great sound!

Sound of Time!

The space between the entire Dao Land's Death Realm and the Heavenly Court suddenly folded and contracted, leaving a faint mark of rules imprinted on the Dao Land—the spacetime rules of the Heavenly Immortal Way.

Soon, the Realm of the Dead and the Heavenly Court were separated from the Daoist Land by layers of spatial barriers. Cultivators without the strength to tear through the barrier could not travel between the Realm of the Dead and the Heavenly Court.

This same astonishing change was also happening simultaneously within the Heavenly Human Life and Death Realm and the human realm.

The Daoist land is now completely connected to the Heavenly Human Life and Death Realm. Any modifications or enhancements Chen Dengming makes to the Daoist land will be directly reflected in the Heavenly Human Life and Death Realm.

At this moment, among the many cultivators residing within the Heavenly Human Life and Death Realm, only Su Yan Yan faintly sensed the changes in the space between heaven and earth.

The other cultivators were unable to perceive this change in the fundamental power of the world; they only felt that after the unbearable heat subsided, the Five Phases Spiritual Qi in the air seemed to be increasing.

The existence of the primordial Five Elements rules means that Chen Dengming's Daoist practice is constantly absorbing the primordial Five Elements power from the universe.

These five elements' power, when fed back into the Heavenly Human Life and Death Realm, will cause an increase in the Five Phases Spiritual Qi within the Heavenly Human Life and Death Realm. Combined with the Immortal Spiritual Energy, this will only make the Heavenly Human Life and Death Realm develop better and better, and may even recreate the glory of High Antiquity, making it the last holy land in the current Age of Dharma Decline.

It can be said that the Heavenly Human Life and Death Realm has temporarily solved the problem of Spiritual Qi depletion caused by the Eternal Great Tribulation, and the amount of Spiritual Qi energy is even sufficient to support the cultivation of many cultivators.

Having reached this point, Chen Dengming is almost able to fulfill the grand ambition of the former First Ancestor Lu Xiucheng: to shelter all cultivators under heaven, so that when one attains enlightenment, even his chickens and dogs ascend to heaven!

As Chen Dengming felt his small world fully take shape, he was filled with a sense of accomplishment. The surging and refined Dao power throughout his body also made him understand the power of the Dao Venerable realm.

This power of the Dao is still subtly improving and optimizing his Dao body, making his already comparable Dao artifact even stronger. For example, the brain's capacity, structure, gray matter, etc., are also being rapidly optimized, enabling him to quickly withstand and process more complex information.

Now, his entire body is imprinted with the rules he has comprehended. His Dao power is now imbued with an additional force of rules compared to when he merged with the Dao. This additional force is enough to unleash a hundred times the power it once possessed.

This power is the same power that Phoenix Cry Dao Venerable once possessed, which nearly killed him instantly with a single move of Phoenix Dao Fire.

Now, he already possesses this power, even much stronger.

This is because he already possesses the Five-Colored Divine Fire, which surpasses the Phoenix Dao Fire, and he also cultivates the immortal techniques and rules of the Immortal Way and the Heavenly Immortal Way. His body is shaped by Dao artifacts and the Phoenix True Blood, and his strength is enhanced by the Five-Colored Golden Core refined from the flesh Flesh and Blood of the Phoenix Cry Dao Venerable.

It can be said that even though he has only recently become Dao Venerable, his foundation is already more profound than that of the former Phoenix Cry Dao Venerable.

Chen Dengming withdrew his mind from the inner world and examined himself. His vision had broken through the ordinary dimension, and he could see all parts of his body, front and back, top and bottom, and even see the changes in the cells inside his body and the rules imprinted on them.

His body radiated a glowing aura of Dao power, resembling a luminous human form. His muscles, layered and solid, possessed a fluid and beautiful aesthetic, making him appear perfectly sculpted. The divine light emanating from his eyes carried an inexplicable pressure and approachability, compelling people to worship and believe in him, regarding him as a deity.

Their Essence, Qi, and Spirit and spirit are completely different; it's a qualitative change.

And this change is not over yet.

It continues to be nourished by the power of Tao.

"Dao Venerable, gods are immortal, and their Dao bodies are indestructible, almost like immortals. Once my Dao body is fully strengthened, I fear even the Five Elements Divine Blade will have difficulty piercing it easily, and I will not fear the Five-Colored Divine Fire."

Chen Dengming was filled with emotion.

Wow! Absolutely amazing!

He was so strong that even he couldn't handle it, feeling a mix of excitement and trembling.

However, given his State of Mind, he quickly restrained the feeling of elation and conceit that arose from his emotions and desires, thus avoiding becoming arrogant.

Next, there is likely to be another tough battle ahead, and it's not time to be complacent yet.

However, before leaving, he still needed to take care of the matters in the Ancient Realm, and at the same time, take advantage of his breakthrough to give Su Yan Yan, He Yingyu, and the three Little Array Spirit a little treat.

Each time he broke through to a higher level, he would then favor the three women, allowing them to also reap considerable benefits.

Even the scraps were enough to save the three women many years of arduous cultivation, surpassing countless elixirs and panaceas, as if he had become the flesh of Tang Sanzang.

"Since time is tight this time, let's just have the three girls cultivate together."

Chen Dengming stroked his chin, and his Dao power transformed into a snow-white robe, which he draped over his body.

He took a step forward.

The environment created by the Heavenly Timing collapsed on its own in an instant.

Chen Dengming's figure disappeared in a burst of multicolored spiritual light.

Before long, within the Ancient Realm, many patriarchs of Immortal Sect Dao Gate received a message from the Heavenly Human Life and Death Realm.

Upon hearing the message and sensing the unimaginable terrifying aura, the patriarchs of many Immortal Sect Dao Gate were shocked and utterly horrified.

"This is... the Heavenly Human Dao Lord? No, has he broken through again? To the realm beyond Dao Lord?"

"The Heavenly Human Dao Lord has broken through to the Dao Venerable?! The Ancient Realm has finally produced a Dao Venerable! This is the only Dao Venerable since the High Antiquity times, a long-lived Dao Venerable, the supreme being of the Ancient Realm!"

"They actually invited my Bright Light Sect to relocate to the Heavenly Human Life and Death Realm. If we go to the Heavenly Human Life and Death Realm, won't my disciples and grand-disciples convert to the Holy Spirit Immortal Lord? But if we don't go, the Spiritual Qi of this Ancient Realm is so poor now..."
