Chapter 1693 A Grand Feast, Heavenly Secrets Revealed!
Forbidden Sea - Due East!
Above the golden sea.
In this sea area, golden light flowed as if it were a tangible substance, as if molten divine gold had covered the entire sea surface and the sky.
It surged and roared, radiating a powerful and sacred aura.
Yet it also subtly conveys the sense of a strict law that imprisons all things.
Deep within this core void shrouded in golden light, the scene was even more bizarre and unparalleled...
Two imposing figures sat quietly in the void, motionless.
They resemble two sculptures.
But the immense, surging energy emanating from its body makes it look nothing like a sculpture.
They are more like gods and demons who have existed since time immemorial, comprehending the mysteries of heaven and earth.
One figure, clad in simple hemp clothing, possessed a resolute face like a mountain, exuding a sharp, all-encompassing aura...
This is none other than the Venerable One Who Moves Islands.
The other, clad in a dark red priest's robe symbolizing the authority of purgatory, had his face hidden in the shadow of his hood, with only two points of scarlet light flickering within the shadows, radiating chaotic, scorching, and destructive fluctuations of the laws of nature...
It was none other than the High Priest of the Purgatory Clan.
Their eyes were closed, as if they were comprehending the supreme Dao.
Beneath him were not physical prayer mats, but two solid orbs of light formed from pure Taoist script and scarlet runes.
The ball of light resembled a futon and emitted a heart-pounding vibration.
Even more astonishing is...
Beneath the light cluster shaped like a futon, countless tiny, oval-shaped blood-red light spots, like tiny living stars, flowed continuously and gently, converging and merging into the two 'futons'!
The entire scene, set against the backdrop of surging golden rays and flowing blood...
It presents a sense of "harmony" where extreme power and extreme eeriness coexist, and the silence is unsettling.
It was as if time and space had frozen here, just to provide for these two greedy consumers.
···
Void Interlayer - Within the Rift!
Deep within this seemingly airtight void, an extremely faint figure, almost blending into the folds of space, silently appeared.
This was Cheng Buzheng, who had just arrived from the space wormhole without stopping!
of course.
What appears here now is not his true form, but a dharma body controlled by his true form in the secret realm of Peace City!
This Dharma body's aura was extremely restrained, like a tiny speck of cosmic dust, perfectly concealed within the gaps of the spatial structure.
If it weren't for the fact that it's visible to the naked eye, it would likely be mistaken for air.
Not only can it not be detected by divine sense, but it will not even leave a trace in the world.
Even cleaner than a wild goose leaving no trace!
This is the extraordinary nature of the supernatural power of the [Heart Sutra of Nirvana].
now!
Cheng Buzheng's avatar's clear, cold eyes pierced through the ripple-like void barrier before him, precisely locking onto the two beings perched on the 'futons' outside.
He held his breath and focused intently, minimizing even the fluctuations in his thoughts.
"really……"
A barely perceptible, absolutely confident smile curved the corners of Cheng Buzheng's lips.
"By using the 'Silent Void' state blessed by the [Heart Sutra of Nirvana], all fluctuations of energy are gathered and merged into the folds of the void's origin..."
Even a peak mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator would be at such close range...
It's like being blind; you can't detect the slightest thing!
A sense of satisfaction flashed through his mind, but he quickly suppressed these distracting thoughts and began to scan this eerie core area with his sharp gaze, like the most precise probe.
however!
Just a moment later, Cheng Buzheng's avatar's brows furrowed tightly!
The scene before him presented a huge and perplexing gap from his understanding when he left the battlefield!
"Where did the Primordial Ancestor of Purgatory... that terrifying and overwhelming old monster go?"
A huge question mark pierced my mind like an icicle.
"The Island-Moving Venerable!"
How did he end up getting involved with the High Priest of the Purgatory Clan?
Aren't they mortal enemies?
"And what about the divine messengers and priests of the Purgatory Clan?"
At such a crucial moment, why was there not a single person protecting the High Priest?
This doesn't make sense!
"..."
Obviously.
After the Peach Blossom Venerable's Dharma body perished, a tremendous upheaval occurred in the core battlefield of this forbidden sea!
Moreover, it is a change that is enough to overturn the entire landscape.
Despite the swirling doubts in Cheng Buzheng's mind, he remained remarkably calm.
However, he forcefully suppressed the surging curiosity and shock, and refocused his gaze—
On those two figures.
A fleeting glance from the corner of his eye...
next moment.
Cheng Buzheng's gaze was fixed on the area beneath the two 'futons,' where the gentle flow, like a river of life, surged upwards...
On the oval-shaped blood-red light spot!
The instant his divine sense truly touched the essence of those "spots of light"...
boom--! ! !
Cheng Buzheng's pupils, as if struck by an invisible giant hammer, suddenly shrank to the size of a pinhead!
An unprecedented and violent shock, originating from the depths of his soul, like a level 18 destructive storm, instantly swept away all his reason and cognition!
“This…this is impossible!!!”
A suppressed, almost inaudible scream suddenly exploded in his heart!
Even with his resilient Dao heart at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm and his millennia of experience, he trembled violently at this moment and almost lost his footing!
He knew exactly what that was!
Those were no ordinary energy particles, much less ordinary fragments!
That vast, pure, and supreme aura, transcending the laws of all things...
It is clearly the origin of the law!
Moreover, it is a law origin of extremely high purity and a level far beyond what a Nascent Soul cultivator in this world can reach!
The most lethal evidence is precisely that unique oval shape!
Cheng Buzheng's memories were instantly pulled back—
Within the black coffin where the Primordial Ancestor of Purgatory slumbers, there is a colossal light and shadow composed of endless oval-shaped blood-red light spots!
That is the most core and essential manifestation of the Primordial Ancestor's original form!
The countless Nascent Soul cultivators in the cultivation world, whether human or demon, perceive, cultivate, and condense the fundamental particles of the laws.
Without exception, they are all perfect circles!
This oval shape is unique to the Primordial Ancestor of Purgatory, or rather...
A mark unique to beings of a higher level (powerful beings in the spirit world)!
A terrifying thought, capable of overturning the entire cultivation world's understanding, surged wildly into Cheng Buzheng's mind like a demon breaking free of its shackles, and could no longer be suppressed:
"That progenitor of purgatory from the spirit world... He... really perished?!"
Physical body disintegrates, soul and spirit annihilated?!
Even this most core, most fundamental principle has been stripped away and used as nourishment for others?!
Although this conclusion is utterly absurd and filled with unbelievable madness,
But the flowing, distinctly shaped primordial particles before our eyes are irrefutable proof!
After the initial shock, Cheng Buzheng's extraordinary deductive abilities were instantly unleashed to their fullest potential, moving like the rapid calculations of a precise abacus:
Even if the Island-Moving Venerable betrayed humanity and formed some kind of dirty collusion with this High Priest…
How could they, with their combined strength at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, possibly possibly defeat the Primordial Ancestor of Purgatory?!
He had faced the might of the progenitor head-on, and the overwhelming sense of despair he felt is still fresh in his memory.
"Could it be..."
His sharp gaze suddenly swept across the surrounding golden glow that seemed eternal and indestructible!
That vast and powerful array force that imprisoned everything!
“Yes!
"It must be because of this unparalleled array that separates the two seas!" Cheng Buzheng's thoughts instantly clicked.
"Only by relying on the ultimate power of this ancient and wondrous array can we completely imprison and obliterate a terrifying being who has descended from the spirit realm!"
The Island-Moving Venerables... they have indeed completely taken control of this great formation!
The fact that the [Mind Gate] was unable to directly teleport the Peach Blossom Dharma Body to the Forbidden Sea after the deaths of the two clan elders is proof of this!
The fact that the two Nascent Soul stage monsters had their entire source of laws absorbed by the Island Moving Venerable was most likely to be for the purpose of activating the grand formation.
Or rather... it's a 'warm-up'!
The more he thought about it, the clearer the picture became:
"But activating this array's immense power, capable of obliterating even the strongest beings in the spirit realm, comes at a price..."
This is something that neither the Island-Moving Venerable nor the High Priest can undertake alone!
Even if the two of them worked together, it still wouldn't be enough!
A cold, cruel, yet perfectly reasonable answer emerged—
Sacrifice!
"The two Nascent Soul stage monsters were led into a desperate situation by the Island Moving Venerable, and were eventually refined by the great formation... Their fundamental laws became the 'fuel' to activate the first wave of attacks of the great formation!"
"And those vanished divine messengers and priests of the Purgatory Clan... have probably already followed in their footsteps!"
He became the high priest's 'contribution' to this great formation.
Or perhaps it was a contribution to this ultimate god-slaying ritual...
Offerings!
After all, during such a sensitive period, it's impossible for the Purgatory Clan's divine messengers and priests to hide away and cultivate in seclusion.
But the strange thing is...
But then this scene unfolded.
How could this not arouse Cheng Buzheng's suspicion?
Only in this way can it be explained:
Why are they able to control the great formation?
Why is the High Priest the only remaining powerful member of the Purgatory Clan?
Cheng Buzheng's Dharma Body's gaze shifted, his divine sense spreading out like a net, confirming his previous observations—
really!
Apart from the island mover and the high priest, there was no trace of any Nascent Soul level aura left!
"What ruthless methods!"
"What a vicious heart!" he thought with a chill.
"The island-moving scheme was a betrayal of both races, and the high priest sacrificed the entire race's core elite..."
All for this final step today—to divide the legacy of our ancestors!
At this point, all the mysteries were solved!
Cheng Buzheng instantly understood what the "great opportunity" that his original self had glimpsed when he deduced the secrets of heaven was!
It is a relic left behind by a powerful being from the spirit realm, incomparably pure, and containing the supreme Dao...
The origin of laws!
This is not just about power, but a shortcut to a higher realm!
No wonder it could trigger the secrets of heaven?
No wonder the island-moving priest and the high priest risked everything and abandoned everything!
At this moment, Cheng Buzheng's Dharma Body, hidden in the void, had an extremely burning gaze, like the most greedy dragon eyeing a priceless treasure, locking onto the blood-red source flow that was continuously gushing out from beneath the two 'futons'!
A powerful impulse almost broke free from the shackles of reason—to rush out!
Seize this incredible opportunity!
Even if we only manage to grab a small portion!
But in the next instant, the cold reality was like a bucket of ice water poured over his head.
"The opponents... are two mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivators!"
The Venerable One Who Moves Islands specializes in the Law of Metal and has already reached the second realm;
The High Priest, who specializes in the Laws, has likely already reached the peak of the second realm!
In terms of cultivation level, none of them are weaker than my original body, and some might even be slightly stronger!
Cheng Buzheng's Dharma Body quickly deduced:
Even if the main body, along with another avatar, descends upon this place with the complete set of natal magic treasures [Chaos Dao Tribulation Sword]... what will the outcome be?
"Ten deaths without life!"
A chilling conclusion came to mind.
Facing a combination that could even annihilate the Primordial Ancestor of Purgatory, his three mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivators would only be like moths to a flame if they rushed in!
Besides, the other party is not lacking in spiritual treasures.
Cheng Buzheng had not forgotten that the Purgatory Clan also possessed a clan-protecting spiritual treasure.
If the Purgatory Clan's divine messenger and priest were indeed sacrificed by the High Priest, then the [Purgatory Annihilation Millstone] is definitely in the hands of the other party.
The Island-Moving Venerable is no ordinary person either.
He controls a supreme array artifact.
While its power may not be as great as that of a magical treasure, it is not far off.
More importantly, if an array is enhanced, its power will surge to an extremely terrifying level.
In particular, the Island-Moving Venerable is very likely in control of that terrifying array that separates the two seas.
To fight him here would be tantamount to making an enemy of the entire formation!
The fate of the Primordial Ancestor serves as a cautionary tale!
The opponent didn't even need to use the full power of the grand formation; the [Purgatory Annihilation Millstone] combined with the island-moving formation control was enough to completely crush him!
"Moreover, these two old monsters have just completed the act of killing a god and devouring the ancestral source. Their state is strange, and no one knows how strong they are at this moment."
What kind of hidden plan is there?
"Don't move!"
We absolutely cannot make a move now!
After all, even the powerful figure from the spirit realm suffered such a miserable end when the Island-Moving Venerable and the High Priest joined forces, so it goes without saying that he would suffer the same fate.
Think about this.
Cheng Buzheng's Dharma Body forcefully suppressed the boiling greed and restlessness in his heart, and concealed his aura even more perfectly, as if he had completely merged into the background of the void.
However, his gaze remained fixed on the two 'futons', and the subtle spatial interval and energy flow between them, his mind racing:
"Benefit!
Only eternal interests!
The island-moving warrior and the high priest, one a traitorous and ruthless hero of the human race, the other a cold-blooded priest of the Purgatory race, joined forces for mutual benefit.
Now, facing this final, largest piece of the 'cake'—
How could they truly share the original core left behind by the Primordial Ancestor of Purgatory peacefully?
Absolutely impossible!
"Greed is always the sharpest dagger, and also the most fragile cornerstone of an alliance!"
A chilling glint flashed in Cheng Buzheng's eyes, as if he were a hunter lurking in the shadows, patiently waiting for his prey to reveal a weakness.
"When the snipe and the clam fight..."
The fisherman may still profit!
"wait!
Wait patiently!
When the flames of greed consume the fragile covenant, when they draw their swords against each other because of the unequal distribution of spoils…
"That was when I, Cheng Buzheng, truly came into my own..."
The only chance to seize this incredible opportunity!
Cheng Buzheng comforted himself inwardly.
next moment.
Deep within the void, deathly silence returned.
