Curtain Turns to Light and Enters the Formation, Netherworld Full Moon Connects to the Body

The moment this word was uttered, the world changed color!

The chaotic Order and violent Spiritual Qi that had shown signs of calming up surged up again at this moment, as if echoing the old Daoist in the shrouded sphere, constantly surging forward, only to be blocked by the word blocks one by one.

Within those characters, the auras of Divine Path, Human Path, and the Heart Path were clearly present, interacting and shifting, smoothing and guiding Order, disintegrating and absorbing Spiritual Qi!

Even more mysterious energy gathered from Eight Directions, enhancing the curtain. The curtain sphere, which had shrunk to the size of a room, shook violently and crashed down!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The two powerful beings within the sphere of light unleashed their surging power once more, attempting to blast it away! However, this power was blocked by the three methods in succession, like a net that left no gaps.

The external Order and violent Spiritual Qi were also drawn in, constantly increasing the pressure of the veil of light, even forcing the concepts of space and existence to be slightly damaged.

"This is a combination of three completely different forces, intended to suppress you and me. Star Lord, do you still intend to remain obstinate?" As the old Daoist spoke, his figure became increasingly illusory, and the small world that constituted his body reversed, threatening to disintegrate!

The reason for this is that after the power of Human Path within the curtain was released, it permeated his body, causing the Earthfire, wind, and water elements originating from the four cultivation Origin Source to become turbulent, creating a tendency to revert to Black Hole before returning to their Origin Source!

The old Daoist's current body was originally a projection of his will, occupying the Embryonic Spirit Land, refining it into External Incarnation, and then condensing it into human form. Although it appears powerful, its foundation is inevitably unstable.

Previously, when fighting with others, it wouldn't have caused any problems, but now, shrouded in this curtain, isolated from the outside world, and with its connection to Spiritual Qi no longer so close, it has begun to show signs of instability. Not only is the flow of the Five Elements difficult, but it is also being pulled by the Human Path, Divine Path, and Heart Path within the curtain's water flow, showing a tendency to dissipate.

The Three Dao Confluence energies within the curtain weren't necessarily particularly powerful, yet they struck at the very root of the problem. At a profound level, they were actually a level higher than Immortal Method and Divine Ability, directly affecting the very foundation of the External Incarnation. They didn't simply defeat it through a difference in cultivation level, but rather shook the very existence of the avatar, forcing Divine Ability techniques to retreat and causing its extraordinary power to dissipate!

In fact, before this, the old Daoist and the Eye-Bearing Star Lord had tried several times to unleash their Divine Ability to break through the curtain, but they encountered the same problem. After they made their move, before the power could be unleashed, the very foundation of their techniques was shaken. They could only unleash half of their full potential, as the rest was dispersed and completely eliminated by the curtain.

Now, the curtain is solidified, the sealed words Spirit Attraction; this is to solidify and seal the contents within, nothing more. That's why the old Daoist said such things, to dissuade the Eye-Bearing Star Lord from his delusions and to help him recognize the root of the problem.

On the other hand, after hearing the old Daoist's words, the Eye-Bearing Star Lord merely smiled and said, "Your avatar is External Incarnation, which has inherent flaws. When affected by the aura of returning to the origin, it will inevitably disintegrate. However, I may not necessarily fare well either. How can you 'return to the right path'?" As he spoke, his Divine Body instantly blurred, exhibiting a sense of uncertainty, as if it might disappear at any moment!

"Hmm?" Seeing this, the Dao Heart stirred. He did some calculations with his fingers, but then he laughed, "I didn't expect that you would fall into the trap of that deity in your attempt to escape into the Netherworld."

"Indeed, I parted a portion of my Origin Source, intending to enter the Netherworld to continue the Karma, even at the cost of revealing my true form. However, I was blocked by a 'block,' and in doing so, I was tainted with a demonic mark from the Heart Path. It has been lying dormant until now, only to erupt now. It can be said that he went to great lengths." He glanced at the old Daoist priest. "Speaking of which, if the Daoist priest hadn't appeared, forcing me to use my full Divine Sense to fight, I wouldn't have overlooked this point. You have also become an accomplice of that deity."

The old Daoist said, "So, we've all been outmaneuvered by that Lesser God. He's quite shrewd. It's alright if he seals my avatar, since I won't truly return for another two years. But Star Lord, you're in trouble. I wonder if you can withstand my methods after being sealed for two years. After all, you 'Wish Power to the Domain of Law, and it's already difficult to replenish your incense offerings here. This battle has also consumed a lot of your divine power. Now that you're sealed again, it will be difficult to replenish it in the future, and you'll only become weaker."

"No need to trouble yourself," Eye-Bearing Star Lord said with an unchanged smile, shaking his head slightly. "Words are useless. We'll see the truth when the time comes. Let me rest for a while. However, that deity will have to pay a heavy price to seal me away. He'll probably need to sleep for a long time to recover. I'll just add fuel to the fire for him! That way, he'll learn his lesson!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his hand and made the bead that was suppressing the surroundings shake. It then merged into the curtain, but it was not broken down by the power within the curtain. Instead, it stabilized itself, protected its core, and then sank down!

"Oh?" The old Daoist shook his head and said, "Star Lord is unwilling to suffer losses, but I will not let you go because of this. I hope you can rest and recuperate here in peace, so that you can become the deity within my acupoint in the future. With Star Lord as the deity of the acupoint, you can awe the starry sky..." After saying that, his avatar suddenly expanded, the Five Elements inside reversed, countered and collided, and burst out with surging power, which spread out and caused his entire body to explode.

Boom!

The violent power poured out and swept outwards, instantly engulfing the Eye-Bearing Star Lord.

Distortion! Change! Vibration!

Outside, the shimmering sphere of light was violently shaken by the explosion of this avatar. The sphere changed rapidly, as if it could not withstand the pressure and was about to crack. Due to the rapid changes, it compressed the air and Spiritual Qi energy, bursting out an invisible force, stirring up layers of air waves that radiated in Eight Directions, leaving sharp whistles wherever they passed.

Qiu Yan's Divine Spirit Body was the first to be hit, but at this moment, his Divine Body was already incomplete, completely shattered by the impact of the three forces, barely maintaining its outline, but its aura had already weakened.

The invisible force rippled over, faintly causing the Divine Body to show signs of disintegration, but with a firm thought, it would not truly shatter.

Boom!

The continuously falling curtain of light finally landed on the array diagram, slowly embedding itself within it. The array diagram that sealed the gods quickly spread over, drawn by the divine power within the curtain, and instead sealed itself off. Soon, the entire light sphere was covered by the array and sealed within it.

Immediately following, a bead broke through the layers of encirclement, releasing its Origin Source power to suppress the array lines, preventing them from being sealed off. In the end, it actually managed to open a path, escape the predicament, and fly towards Qiu Yan. All the scenery along the way, along with the Spiritual Qi, was directly fixed by this bead, unable to hinder it in the slightest!

"Hmm?" Qiu Yan frowned slightly upon seeing it. He enveloped the bead with his senses but did not detect much Divine Ability power. Nevertheless, he raised his hand and used the Three Dao Confluence Technique to block it in front of him.

Faced with the combined obstruction of the three Origin Source, the bead was ultimately blocked, but it immediately turned into a stream of primordial energy and merged into the Three Dao Confluence!

Instantly, Qiu Yan felt his weakened Divine Body regain its strength!

"Um?"

Amidst the confusion, the Divine Sense of the Eye-Bearing Star Lord emanated from the sealed shroud of light—

"You are still under my command. Although I was sealed by you, it was only for a few decades. During this time, I hope you can achieve something. This bead has an extraordinary origin. I have already made contact with it through Divine Sense. From now on, it will be temporarily stored with you to help you on your path to Divine Path. However, this bead is also the source of trouble. It depends on whether you have the ability to suppress it."

After saying that, he uttered only the word "explosive"!

As the voice faded, Qiu Yan's Divine Body, which had regained its powerful aura, suddenly exploded with a loud "boom," and half of his body shattered. Divine Radiance scattered like blood, and even a corner of the Divine Power Space inside was exposed, where the trajectories of several Divine Power Stars could be vaguely seen.

This caused Qiu Yan's momentum to plummet from its peak, becoming increasingly weak.

"So that's how it is. Through this bead, a bit of that Star Lord's power can be extended..."

Having gathered his tattered Divine Body, Qiu Yan's Divine Sense swirled, and Divine Radiance condensed on his right shoulder, quickly forming an arm. That arm reached into the Divine Power Space and grabbed a gaze.

"But he said those things to distract me and plant a seed in my Divine Body. I've discovered this one, but there might be other hidden threads. We'll have to wait until we get back to investigate them one by one."

As soon as the thought crossed his mind, the huge "block" character behind him shattered with a crash, turning into countless tiny character fragments that flew all over the Netherworld reappeared, but this time, the Eye-Bearing Star Lord could no longer seize the opportunity to escape into it.

In the scene of the Netherworld, a huge, dense ball of rock and earth floated, magnificent and grand, exuding a cold and solemn feeling.

Upon seeing the array, Xiao Li, Zi Yi, and the others were all shaken, feeling insignificant, and their morale plummeted.

Then, another unpredictable band of light extended from the large rock sphere, reaching all the way to Qiu Yan's Divine Spirit Body.

The next moment, the nearly shattered Chiyan Land in the Divine Power Space re-coalesced, and a crescent moon appeared in the Divine Power Stars, residing behind the Core Talisman, illuminating the entire space.

This crescent moon is actually a symbol of Second Grade deity. Therefore, with the condensation of divine power and incense offerings during the New Year, and replenished by the energy of the Netherworld, its inner light becomes increasingly bright and complete.

A moment later, it had transformed into a full moon!

First Grade Deity, Divine-Power Full Moon!

Within that full moon, Divine Law flowed, and the words "Knowledge and Action" could be clearly seen. Its radiance shone down, causing mortals to retreat and worldly ties to sever, as if it might leap out of its Divine Body at any moment and transform into a real full moon.

The moonlight spread throughout the Divine Body, and the body, which was on the verge of collapse, was largely restored. Although it did not fully recover, it averted the danger of collapse.

"I see. This First Grade Deity can sever ties with the past through Karma and even Scattering Beans to Create Soldiers, creating Heavenly Soldiers and Generals. However, my Divine Body was severely damaged this time, and the talismans have not yet been fully reassembled, so it's not the time to study this. Besides..."

As Qiu Yan pondered, his gaze shifted, sweeping over the veil of light shrouded in the array diagram and the four figures not far away. (To be continued...)
