The Karma Heart Pupil connects cause and effect, reflecting the inner self. The more entanglements one has in their heart, the more complicated the cause and effect become.

At this moment, Chen Dengming felt that he was entangled by many causes and effects, which turned into various mental fetters.

"Master! Master, how could you be so heartless as to abandon us and go on a quest for immortality alone?"

"Master, have you become an immortal? If you have, can you take me with you? Master, you can't forget your former wives and concubines!"

"My lord! I died a terrible death! Even if you avenge me, I am still dead. Now that you possess great Divine Ability, can you bring me back to life?"

Suddenly, the faces of his former wives and concubines from his mortal days appeared in his mind, each one looking at him with resentment and tears, pouring out their grievances as if questioning his own conscience.

The scene shifts, revealing the faces of his son Chen Jing and daughter-in-law Li Xue, who are also questioning and crying to him.

"Father! Why can't I cultivate immortality? I want to cultivate immortality! I desperately want to Cultivation World, yet your son has no Spirit Root? Father, I want Spirit Root! Give me Spirit Root! You can do it!"

"Father-in-law! Although you are all -Divine Ability powerful and can give your son everything, you cannot give him a Spirit Root. He is ultimately just a mortal. Even if I give myself to him, he will eventually run out of lifespan. Are you asking me to remain a widow for him? Father-in-law, are you still the Uncle Gao I know?"

Soon, the images of many other people appeared in his mind.

"Brother Chen, I used the Life-Damaging Seedling Pulling Technique to improve my aptitude, hoping to catch up with you. I'm afraid you'll see me as a burden and abandon me. I really just want to follow behind you, even if I can only watch you from afar. Even if it means becoming a Little Female Ghost."

"Chen Dengming! If I hadn't defied all opposition and brought you into the Cultivation World back then, would you be where you are today? The Venerable of the Ancient Realm, the Longevity Dao Venerable, how prestigious! In the end, you're nothing but an ungrateful person."

Xu Wei, Lüo Bing, and other familiar faces appeared one after another, transforming into layers of entanglement, like countless spider silks stickily binding and pulling at his heart.

In that instant, even Chen Dengming, a master of the mind, couldn't help but lose his composure due to the backlash and entanglement from numerous mental entanglements.

At the same time, the massive Heavenly Prison of Calamity Qi roared and spun down, completely engulfing Chen Dengming's body.

Within the Heavenly Prison, countless creatures corrupted and controlled by the Calamity Qi suddenly rushed in, clinging to his massive body and forcibly dragging him deeper into the Calamity Qi.

But deep within the calamity energy of the Heavenly Prison, a brain-shaped object composed of the matter of a dozen or so Cultivation Star floated eerily.

The grooves and depths on the surface of that brain-like object were exactly the same as those of a human brain, only many times larger, like a giant star surrounded by scarlet Karma Fire, with tiny blood vessels formed by the Heavenly Dao Blood filling in the crisscrossing grooves of the brain.

The brain seemed alive, teeming with the thoughts, wisdom, Technique Method, and Divine Ability of countless devoured souls, and was throbbing and writhing.

Surrounding the brain are numerous fragments of shattered Cultivation Star, some of whose cores still emit intense light, heat, and energy. These fragments are converging into turbid rivers of matter, slowly merging into this writhing giant brain and adding to the power of the Tribulation Qi Dharma Idol.

This Tribulation Qi Dharma Idol was frantically trying to construct its brain using the thoughts and wisdom of dozens of Cultivation Star and countless living beings, as well as the immense Karma of cause and effect.

Using Daoism and earth as the brain is indeed a novel approach.

Once this brain is fully formed, it will possess infinite power and the thoughts and wisdom of all living beings. Its calculation ability will be far beyond what Chen Dengming could achieve in mental arithmetic, and its brain capacity will be many times greater.

At that moment, Chen Dengming's massive body was being dragged towards the brain by countless cultivators and karmic Karma.

The next moment, his body was engulfed by the calamity energy covering the surface of his brain. His massive body was pressed directly onto the giant brain and engulfed by the raging red lotus Karma Fire.

"Come! You, born of destiny, will be devoured by me, born of calamity. This is fate."

You are both my destiny and my calamity. But once you and I become one, you will be the calamity, and together we will devour the entire universe!

A terrifying wave of will, filled with a greedy, devouring desire, swept through.

"Rustle and rustle--"

Deep within the brain, countless black, tentacle-like nerves rapidly emerged, entangling and enveloping Chen Dengming's body, attempting to devour him into the brain and make him the core.

In an instant, Chen Dengming's body was plunged into the huge chasm of the brain, submerged and surrounded by countless black tentacles.

The raging red lotus Karma Fire engulfed his body; had it not been for the Fortune White Lotus Fire burning between his brows to resist, he would have been Karma Fire by now.

However, by this time, many causes and effects had become entangled in his mind.

If these entanglements cannot be resolved, his mind will be completely submerged in the sea of Karma. Without his mind, his physical body and soul will be easily devoured by the Tribulation Qi Dharma Idol.

The Karma Heart Pupil, cultivated by the Tribulation Qi Dharma Idol to target its weaknesses, is truly a deadly technique.

Just as Chen Dengming's body was about to be completely pulled into the crevices of his brain, at this moment, the many causal entanglements in his mind had already involved the previous world before he transmigrated.

However, just as the threads of cause and effect were drawn to this point, they suddenly became somewhat illusory and dim. The figures drawn out by the threads of cause and effect also became unusually blurry and distorted, and the sounds they emitted became scattered.

As soon as this phenomenon occurred, the Karma Fire that had been entangled in Chen Dengming's mind suddenly weakened.

At the same time, Chen Dengming, whose mind was on the verge of collapse, was also awakened immediately and quickly regained his senses from the entanglement of numerous entanglements.

"Wrong!"

He immediately grasped the perilous situation he was in and quickly pulled his mind back from the edge of depravity.

But at that moment, the incomparably evil and powerful willpower emanating from the Tribulation Qi Dharma Idol, once again swept in with immense Karma, as if unleashing a soul-shaking roar.

"Impossible! How could there be a false cause and effect in your cause and effect? That's impossible!"

You are too sentimental, too kind, and too self-righteous in taking on responsibilities.

If Heaven had feelings, it too would grow old; if immortals had feelings, how could they become immortals? If the universe had feelings, where would fairness be found?

You are not suited for cultivating immortality, nor for achieving longevity. You could never have reached this point. You are also incapable of awakening amidst all these karmic entanglements. Only I have the ability!

I can disregard everything, so I have no constraints, no weaknesses, and an overwhelming power that puts me above all else! You deserve to be devoured by me and become a more perfect version of yourself!

Boom!--

This ferocious and evil will, carrying the Karma, violently impacted Chen Dengming's mind, which was about to fully awaken.

Like a vicious claw suddenly reaching out from the abyss, it tried to forcibly pull Chen Dengming, who had already moved away from the edge of the abyss, back into it.

In that instant, numerous causal threads, composed of cause Karma, violently pulled out the deepest, most hidden causal forces within Chen Dengming's heart.

That was a causal thread even deeper than the fact that he was a time traveler.

This line drew out the Myriad Mother Qi, and even more suddenly, it pulled out an incomparably dark world.

In this dark world, two bright stars, as dazzling as the sun, suddenly shone. Then, intense flames, accompanied by terrifying pressure, erupted rapidly, illuminating the entire dark space like wildfire and revealing an extremely large giant within the darkness.

The deepest threads of cause and effect in Chen Dengming's heart pulled out this giant.

The giant's body was covered with bulging muscles that exuded explosive power, and mysterious patterns were faintly visible among his rough skin. A Dao God his eyebrows was particularly eye-catching.

The wisp of Myriad Mother Qi, pulled by the causal threads, arrived here and suddenly merged into the giant's body, transforming into Dao God pattern on its skin.

Chen Dengming was suddenly shocked by the scene that appeared in his mind. He was also extremely confused. In that instant, countless fragmented images rushed into his mind like a torrent.

Almost simultaneously, the evil and terrifying will of the Tribulation Qi Dharma Idol Image, pulled along by this causal thread, invaded the deepest secret area of Chen Dengming's mind.

He also discovered the giant's existence at the same time, and his reaction was exactly the same as Chen Dengming's; he was immediately stunned and his mind went blank.

"Break!!"

In that instant, the giant in the darkness let out a deafening roar, and his muscular body burst forth with boundless power, its mysterious patterns coiling like Golden Dragon.

The moment that roar erupted, Chen Dengming's mind went blank, buzzing.

The will that had invaded through the Tribulation Qi Dharma Idol also collapsed instantly and dissipated rapidly.

Boom!!--!

The giant strode forward, his enormous hands reaching out to grab at the boundless darkness, tearing a huge gap in the dark space as easily as drawing back a black curtain.

But in that instant, countless massive flows of matter and energy burst forth from the gap, and at the same time, waves of fierce and terrifying energy surged and crashed against the giant's body.

The mysterious patterns formed by the Myriad Mother Qi on the giant's body surface suddenly seemed to be dissolved by high temperature and light, and the skin peeled off, revealing Flesh and Blood, and even bones that emitted a golden glow.

"Open!!"

The giant continued to roar, stretching the gap wider and wider until it gradually revealed a sky full of dazzling starlight.

But at that moment, even more terrifying energy was unleashed upon his body, nearly splitting him in two.

Boom!--

In the end, the entire dark space was completely torn apart and exploded, and everything was submerged in dazzling light and heat.

The giant's figure vanished in an instant into the light, its Flesh and Blood, skin, bones, veins, and mysterious patterns scattered throughout the dark space that formed the heaven and earth, transforming into stars, mountains and rivers, or all living things.

One of the mysterious patterns combined with blood and pupils, and after many years, it transformed into a giant fire egg, from which flew a phoenix with a five-colored tail.

Another mysterious pattern merged into the shattered heart and bones, and years later it transformed into a towering giant.

There are also three mysterious patterns scattered between heaven and earth.

A large amount of Flesh and Blood dispersed among the brilliant stars, and then reassembled with the circular mark.

An undying soul and will, carrying its resentment, fled into the chaotic spacetime.

The image in my mind came to an abrupt end there.

Chen Dengming's shocked mind seemed to find some focus at this moment.

Could this causal connection mean he is the High Antiquity giant who created the world?

No, you can't say that.

The giant's Flesh and Blood transformed into all living beings, into a phoenix, and into ancient immortals. All living beings are giants, and giants are also living beings.

That scattered mass of Flesh and Blood bearing a circular mark in the Milky Way may have transformed into the Vast Sky Dao Venerable.

But the unchanging soul is that undying will.

That will vanished into the chaotic spacetime. Could it be that, many years later, it was fully awakened by that Myriad Mother Qi?

Almost simultaneously, a terrifying Karma also fed back to the brain where the Tribulation Qi Dharma Idol was condensed, along with this karmic thread.

A deafening explosion!

Like a supernova explosion releasing blinding light, the entire giant brain seemed unable to withstand this terrifying karmic retribution, suffering a backlash that caused it to explode, shattering a vast amount of matter and bursting forth with fierce and chaotic energy rays.

The terrifying explosion jolted Chen Dengming out of his thoughts, bringing him back to his senses.

At this moment, he felt that the many unclear and unfathomable gray-black images that had appeared in his mind many times before, caused by the threads of cause and effect, were gradually becoming clear.

At this moment, he finally understood why Vast Sky Dao Venerable said that seeing him would dispel his confusion.

There are still many questions at this point, and we need to analyze the scenes connected by cause and effect to find the answers.

But the most urgent task now is to remove the Tribulation Qi Dharma Idol, lest things get complicated.

Boom!--

Just then, the Tribulation Qi Dharma Idol struck first.

A gigantic hand, carrying overwhelming calamity, pierced through the heat-filled gap in the brain, bearing immense force and rubbing against the blazing flames, like a high-speed asteroid hurtling towards Chen Dengming.

The energy bursting forth from all sides was instantly squeezed back, extremely compressed, and condensed into a highly concentrated energy halo resembling an iron plate, appearing at the bottom of the giant fist, terrifying beyond compare.

Before even making contact, Chen Dengming felt a terrifying force rolling down like a star, the energy and heat condensed at the bottom of the giant fist alone being no less than the Phoenix Dao Fire.

There was no way to dodge now. He roared, raised his arms and crossed them over his chest, uttering a single word!

"Certainly!!"

Boom!--

The colossal fist, seemingly capable of destroying the world, suddenly paused for a moment. In that instant, the surrounding cosmic energy was ionized and disintegrated by the immense force of the fist.

But it only lasted for a moment before the power of the Immobilization Technique was broken.

The giant fist landed heavily on Chen Dengming's arms as he tried to block.

"Bang!--"

Chen Dengming's arms, comparable to those of a semi-divine artifact, creaked as his skin and muscles were squeezed and deformed by the impact before bursting open, dripping with blood. His massive body smashed through his collapsing brain, carrying a large amount of fire and smoke, and rushed out from the other side.
