"You thought you hit me? Fool, this Emperor was giving you a grand gift!"
The black blood of Transcendence that sprayed forth did not dissipate into the void. Instead, like living creatures, it instantly transformed into countless tiny black venomous snakes and crazily burrowed through the old wound in Chu Tian's chest—the wound once pierced by the Return-to-Silence Key—into his heart!
"Urgh—!"
Chu Tian let out a miserable scream and crashed heavily from midair onto the Creation Throne.
To his horror, he discovered that the black blood entering his heart had formed an exceedingly terrifying resonance with the drop of Taiyi Heartblood on the Heavenly King Emperor's forehead! The Heavenly King Emperor was using that resonance to forcibly seize control of the Taiyi Dao Heart within him!
"Buzz—!"
Chu Tian's originally deep gray-white eyes began undergoing a bizarre mutation. His left eye remained gray-white, but his right eye had been completely filled with ink-black Jiemie deathly energy! One black, one white, as though gods and devils inhabited the same body!
What was even more despairing was that the Creation Throne beneath him seemed to have detected the dense Return to Silence aura within him. It began trembling violently, erupting with a powerful force of rejection as it tried to fling Chu Tian from the throne!
"Heavenly Lord!"
Outside, as Chu Tian lost control over his Taiyi Dao Heart, the All Beings Share a Name network spanning both worlds suffered a devastating blow. Some of the karmic threads were forcibly severed by the Heavenly King Emperor. Among the million spheres of light, tens of thousands of weaker cultivators instantly bled from all seven orifices and fell into deep comas, unable to withstand the karmic backlash!
"Chu Tian! Your Dao Heart belongs to this Emperor now!" The Heavenly King Emperor laughed maniacally
