Chapter 620: Breaking Through the Realm

Chen Tang, Little Duan Immortal, and the others were deeply shaken. Chen Shi had already become a Gold Immortal?

This was especially true for Li Tianqing and Yang Bi. When they had left, although Chen Shi's cultivation had been somewhat higher than theirs, it hadn't been by much. In recent years, they had obtained the orthodox transmissions in Divine Continent, far surpassing the chaotic cultivation methods of Western Ox New Continent. Their cultivation had advanced by leaps and bounds, and they had assumed they would catch up to Chen Shi.

They had never expected that Chen Shi had already become a Gold Immortal.

But when they left, Chen Shi hadn't even achieved Dao Unification. Even with further progress over these years, at most he would be a Dao-Unified Celestial Immortal. How could he possibly have cultivated to the Gold Immortal level?

Moreover, how powerful was the Celestial Venerable? He ruled Despair Slope and indirectly ruled Western Ox New Continent for sixteen thousand years. How could Chen Shi possibly eliminate the Celestial Venerable?

And that terrifying primordial insect, even a Gold Immortal couldn't handle it, right? How had the primordial insect disappeared?

"After you left, far too many things happened."

Hu Feifei recalled that period of events and couldn't help but feel emotional. She told them about how Chen Yindu confirmed the Celestial Venerable's Dao Realm, how Creation Little Five died in battle, how the gods fell, and so on.

When she got to the part about how Chen Shi used the Celestial True God as his Divine Embryo, achieved Dao Unification with Western Ox New Continent, eradicated the primordial insect, fought the Celestial Venerable with all his strength, and how the Celestial True God's obsession dissipated and returned to heaven and earth, everyone who heard felt their hearts pound with shock.

True Man Zhang asked in confusion, "How did True King Chen use the Celestial True God as his Divine Embryo?"

Hu Feifei replied, "He created a demonic technique and passed it to a youth named Chu Feng, letting Chu Feng use the demonic technique to pollute the Celestial True God."

True Man Zhang asked more detailed questions, gradually clarifying the cause and effect. He murmured, "Every sip and every peck, is it not all predestined? If Despair Slope hadn't touched the Innate Dao Embryo, Chen Shi wouldn't have died, and wouldn't have fallen into the demonic path. In his ghost state, he created the demonic technique Profound Yin Nine Heaven Art, and thus couldn't have used the Profound Yin Nine Heaven Art to pollute the Celestial True God and slay the Celestial Venerable. The Celestial Venerable indulged the primordial insect, attacked Western Ox New Continent, destroyed the Great Shang Era, and forced the Shang King to sacrifice himself and transform into the Celestial True God. One could say that from that very moment, he planted the seeds of his own death."

Everyone thought carefully about this, and indeed it made sense. They couldn't help but marvel at how strange the workings of fate were.

"However, his Gold Immortal state is incomplete, which limits the world's Dao power he can mobilize."

True Man Zhang observed the Great Dao rosy light in the sky and said, "At most, he can only mobilize ten percent of Western Ox New Continent's world Dao power, maybe not even ten percent."

Everyone looked up and saw that in the sky over Western Ox New Continent, the Great Dao rosy light grew brighter and longer, restless and surging, and more and more Great Dao power was being mobilized between heaven and earth.

On the mysterious yellow sea, Chen Shi made his decisive move, using Temporary Abode on Yu Sari, breaking Wu Banshan's Paranirmita Vasavartin Dharma, and then immediately using Temporary Abode on a young man beside Wu Banshan.

The young man was handsome, with a fair face and no beard, black hair and blue eyes, bearing an exotic charm. When Chen Shi's consciousness descended into his Sea of Consciousness, he suddenly saw countless eyes densely growing all around the Sea of Consciousness, instantly covering the sky and sea surface!

"Got you!"

The young man laughed loudly. "You dare flaunt the Paranirmita Vasavartin Dharma before the Moluo clan? Don't you know that the Paranirmita Vasavartin Dharma originated from our Moluo Divine Clan?"

Chen Shi's expression shifted slightly. He immediately activated his Temporary Abode divine ability, and lotuses bloomed in the Sea of Consciousness, forcefully breaking through the Moluo clan's divine ability!

The young man was caught off guard and let out a soft exclamation of surprise as Chen Shi's consciousness escaped from his Sea of Consciousness.

"Demons from Paranirmita Vasavartin Heaven, invited by Wu Banshan!"

Chen Shi's heart jolted. He didn't dare use the Temporary Abode divine ability again and said in a deep voice, "Black Pot, hide in my Dao Realm first."

With a thought, the Dao Ruins in the sky became lower and heavier. Black Pot leaped into the air and rushed into the Dao Ruins.

Although Black Pot was powerful, against an expert from Paranirmita Vasavartin Heaven, he couldn't withstand the opponent's consciousness invasion and would only be controlled.

The young man was also alarmed and uncertain. He blurted out, "What he used isn't a divine ability from our Paranirmita Vasavartin Heaven!"

Wu Banshan asked in surprise, "Senior Brother Mo, there's something wrong with his Paranirmita Vasavartin Dharma?"

"Of course there's something wrong!"

The young man said, "His Paranirmita Vasavartin Dharma follows the Daoist sect's approach, completely different from our divine clan's approach!"

As they spoke, Yu Sari pulled the tower ship straight toward the fairy mountain where they stood!

Wu Banshan was briefly stunned, then immediately understood Chen Shi's plan: "The little thief wants to use me as a breakthrough point, to break out of the encirclement through me. How laughable. Today I'll let you witness the grandeur of an immortal."

Yu Sari's speed grew faster and faster. Suddenly, the surrounding heaven and earth changed drastically. Boundless land emerged from the mysterious yellow sea. Yu Sari had originally been swimming in the mysterious yellow sea, but now it became running on land. Unfortunately, he had no legs, and his belly scraped along the ground for over ten li before he finally managed to stop.

He hurriedly transformed into a fish demon with a fish head and human body. A large patch of scales had been scraped off his belly. He grabbed two chains with both arms and ran forward with all his might, shouting, "Fellow Daoist Chen, don't panic! I'll pull the ship and charge out with you!"

In the sky, Dao sounds rang out loudly. A crimson book appeared, with cinnabar-red characters spreading across the sky, each character containing immense power.

The crimson book's characters moved rapidly, sending down beams of red light that crashed downward, and everywhere they passed, the ground exploded.

Yu Sari pulled the tower ship and ran madly, dodging the red light crashing down from the sky.

Ahead, mountain peaks stood in great numbers. Suddenly, boundless yellow demons and great demons surged over one mountain after another, flooding toward them like a tide.

And on the path to the fairy mountain where Wu Banshan was, another heavenly road descended from the sky. On the heavenly road, gods stood in great numbers. The road led to the Seven Treasures Grove, where every tree was hung with the seven treasures of honey wax, sea clam shell, coral, pearl, glassy glaze, gold, and silver. Within the grove were endless wonders.

Behind the Seven Treasures Grove was the Eight Hardships Court, and behind the Eight Hardships Court was the Jade Radiance Cliff.

Wu Banshan and those few people stood atop the Jade Radiance Cliff.

Chen Shi stood at the bow of the ship, gazing up at the Jade Radiance Cliff: "Wu Banshan has transported his Dao Realm, the Xuanming Gonghua Heaven, into the mysterious yellow sea!"

He was no stranger to Wu Banshan's Dao Realm. Back then, under the Empress of Earth's instructions, he and Black Pot had infiltrated this Dao Realm and stolen the Jambudvipa Precious Tree. He was very familiar with the various Great Dao Phenomena within this Dao Realm.

The yellow demons and great demons were also Great Dao Phenomena. Wu Banshan used countless yellow demons and great demons killing each other to temper his own Dao techniques.

At the time, Chen Shi had already sensed that these yellow demons and great demons were extraordinarily ferocious. Now, as thousands of yellow demons and great demons surged over, their momentum was immense. Yu Sari shouted loudly, dragging the tower ship across land, charging with all his might toward those yellow demons and great demons.

"No one can touch Sari Grandpa's boat!"

He had extraordinary courage, but as the thousands of yellow demons and great demons drew near, he began to feel afraid. The yellow demons and great demons before him had no human form, with hideous claws and fangs, ferocious beyond measure. Against three or five, he could still manage, but with so many yellow demons and great demons, they could probably tear him apart alive!

He was just about to turn around and change direction when suddenly a white-bone long whip lashed out from the tower ship behind him. Within a radius of dozens of li, white bone barbs appeared everywhere, descending from the sky!

Yellow demons and great demons were either pierced through the body, or hooked by the chin, or had their heads bored through, or were smashed into pulp. In an instant, the land dozens of li ahead was swept clean, and everywhere lay the corpses of yellow demons and great demons!

"Fellow Daoist Sari, just keep pulling the ship forward."

Chen Shi's voice came from the ship. "Leave the rest to me."

Yu Sari's courage surged. He pulled the tower ship forward with all his might, charging toward the heavenly road.

Chen Shi stood at the bow, activating the white-bone scorpion tail, killing all the yellow demons and great demons that pounced from all directions. Those yellow demons and great demons were Wu Banshan's Great Dao Phenomena. Not long after being killed, they would condense again and still come charging.

However, the tower ship had already taken the opportunity to advance several hundred li, arriving before the heavenly road.

"Whoosh,"

Chen Shi urged the white-bone scorpion tail. With a single strike, he severed the heavenly road. The gods on the heavenly road pounced down, and while still in midair, were pierced through by the sudden scorpion tail.

Yu Sari transformed into a giant with a fish head and human body, dragging the ship forward madly, his speed growing faster and faster, not much slower than in the mysterious yellow sea.

He had cultivated in the Virtuous Virtue Heavenly Palace for over ten days, and his cultivation had become much more profound than before. He felt no fatigue at all, only that his whole body was filled with inexhaustible strength.

Ahead, heaven and earth changed. The Seven Treasures Grove towered before them. Every tree was a Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree. Honey wax, sea clam shell, coral, pearl, glassy glaze, gold, silver, and other treasures refracted different lights. Striking a person, they shaved away seven kinds of merit.

Chen Shi put away the white-bone scorpion tail and pointed a finger. From the sword-nurturing gourd on the ship, streams of mysterious yellow sword qi refined from mysterious yellow ancestral energy flew out, and the Seven Treasures Grove fell in great swaths.

Primordial Chaos Sword Scripture, Sixth Form: Autumn's Departing Wind and Rain.

The sword qi was like autumn wind, mixed with fine rain.

Suddenly the wind grew stronger and stronger, the rain grew heavier and heavier, more urgent. Wild wind mixed with heavy rain surged forward, forming wave after wave of surging tides, rushing forward rapidly before the tower ship. With a howl, they submerged the Eight Hardships Court, and all Dao phenomena turned to powder within the sword light!

The sword light tide crashed thunderously against the Jade Radiance Cliff, surging and roaring.

Atop the Jade Radiance Cliff, the few young people from Paranirmita Vasavartin Heaven saw this and couldn't help but change expression. They saw the surging waves at the cliff's base rising higher and higher, and soon a giant wave a thousand zhang tall formed before them, crashing down!

Sword light formed the giant wave, sword qi formed the wild wind.

Within the spray of that giant wave, every drop of water was composed of thousands of strands of sword light. Millions of water droplets formed a single spray of waves, and thousands of sprays of waves formed this heaven-covering, earth-shrouding great wave!

Wu Banshan looked up and saw that atop the waves, the giant with a fish head and human body was pulling that tower ship, running madly on the wave crest, attempting to charge over the Jade Radiance Cliff.

"Boom!"

The giant wave formed of countless strands of sword light seemed to crash against an invisible wall. Wu Banshan's figure didn't move in the slightest, his expression grim: "If I let you break through my position and escape from here, wouldn't that disgrace my reputation as an Immortal Lord?"

Behind Chen Shi, streams of mysterious yellow sword qi flew from the sword-nurturing gourd, each unleashing the Autumn's Departing Wind and Rain move. Soon the number of flying sword qi reached thirty-six.

These thirty-six strands were the limit when Chen Shi used sword flight to slay Regional Commander Yin Fenglou, but that was not his current limit.

The number of mysterious yellow sword qi soon reached sixty-four, and the power of this move was unbelievably great. Even Wu Banshan couldn't help but be moved: "This kind of sword Dao divine ability, is it really something a Celestial Immortal can unleash?"

His pressure doubled. Throughout his Dao Realm, rosy light rose on all sides. World Dao power surged in from all directions, guarding this invisible wall.

Chen Shi's thought stirred: "Sink!"

The sword light refined from mysterious yellow ancestral energy suddenly became incomparably heavy, crashing against this invisible wall, causing Wu Banshan's body to gradually tremble.

"So heavy?"

Wu Banshan's expression shifted drastically. "He's only at the Celestial Immortal Realm. It's impossible for him to have such strength! It must be the power of these sword qi!"

Despite his vast experience, he didn't know that Chen Shi's sword qi was refined from pure mysterious yellow ancestral energy.

He had never imagined anyone would be so extravagant as to refine treasures with pure mysterious yellow ancestral energy. Even less did he imagine that someone would refine one hundred and eight strands of sword qi in one go!

Yu Sari was still pulling the ship forward madly, about to crash into this wall. If he crashed into this invisible wall at this speed, Yu Sari and the ship would surely be reduced to powder!

Chen Shi also pushed the power of his three Great Dao Realms to the extreme, activating the white-bone scorpion tail and thrusting forward!

On the scorpion tail's surface, many complex and profound demonic Dao patterns lit up, passing through the waves and stabbing into that invisible wall.

"Hisss!"

The barb pierced through the wall. Wu Banshan looked up and saw drops of water flying out from beneath the barb.

Chen Shi swung this scorpion tail whip with force, tearing open that invisible wall. Accompanied by countless sword light tides surging up the Jade Radiance Cliff, Yu Sari also stepped on the waves, pulling the tower ship and leaping over the Jade Radiance Cliff.

The fish demon was overjoyed. He looked down and saw the heaven-reaching giant wave formed of countless strands of sword light submerging the Jade Radiance Cliff.

Wu Banshan was both shocked and furious. He roused his cultivation to resist this great wave. Countless strands of sword light danced around his body, grinding away layer after layer of his immortal essence, but none could get close.

The other three young people from Paranirmita Vasavartin Heaven, under his protection, were also unharmed.

Wu Banshan sensed the surrounding pressure suddenly decrease, and sharply looked up, leading the three as they charged out of this great wave, appearing in the sky, rushing toward the great ship where Chen Shi was.

Chen Shi turned around. Streams of mysterious yellow sword qi flew back, landing in the sword-nurturing gourd. Immediately, a long blade flew from the gourd. Chen Shi gripped the blade with both hands and slashed down!

Blood-Transforming Divine Blade, Eighth Form.

The Heavenly Pillar Crumbles, the Earthly Bonds Split!

Wu Banshan looked forward and saw countless blade lights flash across his vision. The sky was covered in cracks. His Dao Realm's sky was collapsing, shattering!

His Dao Realm's earth was also cracking with crunching sounds. Earth qi poured into the sky, volcanoes erupted, the ground shook and mountains swayed, a scene of doomsday!

Chen Shi's blade was like Gonggong smashing down Buzhou Mountain. Its power was truly unbelievably great.

Wu Banshan hurriedly roused world Dao power to suppress the trend of heaven collapsing and earth splitting.

He wasn't afraid of Chen Shi's move itself. What he feared was the damage this move did to his Dao Realm. If his Dao Realm were destroyed, he would inevitably find it difficult to mobilize the Dao Realm's world Dao power.

Just as he was suppressing the might of this blade, the three young people beside him had already charged out, pursuing the tower ship.

"Fellow Daoists, don't go!" Wu Banshan hurriedly called out loudly.

Before his voice had even faded, he saw one young man from Paranirmita Vasavartin Heaven suddenly hooked by the chin by a scorpion tail falling from the sky. The barb's tip pierced through the young man's Heavenly Aperture. Another young man was split in two by a blade light like dark blue-black ink.

The third young man used the Paranirmita Vasavartin Dharma from afar, invading Yu Sari's Sea of Consciousness. Before he could control Yu Sari, his flesh and blood body was already controlled by Chen Shi using the Temporary Abode technique, and he crashed into a strand of mysterious yellow sword qi, dying on the spot.

The young man was both shocked and furious. Chen Shi had already used the Temporary Abode technique, descending into Yu Sari's Sea of Consciousness and striking his consciousness into annihilation.

Yu Sari sprinted with all his might, finally charging out of this Dao Realm. He leaped into the air, transforming into a giant fish in midair, pulling the tower ship and speeding forward.

Wu Banshan was both shocked and furious. He suppressed the blade light in his Dao Realm and pursued with all his might.

Those three young people were powerful Moluo demon clan experts he had borrowed from Paranirmita Vasavartin Heaven, specifically to counter Chen Shi's Paranirmita Vasavartin Dharma. He had never expected that in a single exchange, all three would be lost, leaving him at a loss for how to explain this to the Western Heaven.

Chen Shi held the blade in one hand, looked at the approaching Wu Banshan, and smiled slightly. He swung the blade down, and the blade qi fell upon the mysterious yellow sea, stirring up a thousand li of mysterious yellow qi, throwing the mysterious qi and yellow qi into complete chaos.

Wu Banshan charged into it. His body, stained by yellow qi, became incomparably heavy. He finally cleared the yellow qi, then was stained by mysterious qi and suddenly became incomparably light.

His mana surged out, forcefully suppressing the two qi of mysterious and yellow, and he charged out of this qi wave. But he saw that on the sea ahead, blade lights exploded piece by piece, stirring up layer upon layer of mysterious yellow qi, blocking his path of pursuit.

Wu Banshan frowned and looked into the distance. He saw that the tower ship of Purple Heaven Immortal Lord and the others was already riding the wind and breaking the waves, pursuing in the direction Chen Shi had departed.

"The mysterious yellow sea is so vast, you can't escape!"

In Western Ox New Continent, Hu Feifei settled everyone down and invited True Man Zhang from the ancestral court, saying, "May I ask, True Man, His Majesty the True King is locked in conflict with others. How can we help?"

True Man Zhang said, "This Daoist has some means that can let the True King temporarily mobilize Western Ox New Continent's Dao power. But he can only mobilize fifty percent."
