Cultivating for a hundred lifetimes to ascension

Chapter 1488: Chapter 804: Catastrophe Strikes (Part 2)

Each time one was integrated, the blood light on Zhao Sheng’s body surface grew denser, and the power of confusion doubled.

No one knew how long it took, but Zhao Sheng’s mind was already teeming with devilish thoughts, and tens of thousands of chanting sounds repeatedly assaulted his consciousness.

Boom!

In an instant, a burst of flames suddenly erupted out of nowhere between heaven and earth, the flames split into five colors, burning fiercely.

One after another, columns of five-colored flames appeared out of nowhere, quickly merging into a sea of fire.

The blaze shot into the sky, as if it could burn everything in the world, causing the chanting sounds to weaken!

Zhao Sheng suddenly regained clarity, as if a turning point in consciousness had arrived.

The next moment, a flash of spirit light appeared, and lines of obscure "flame scripts" appeared out of nowhere in his mind.

"Hah, Four Directions Immortal Monarch, Eastern Heaven Demon-clearing Immortal Monarch descends... my intent is like fire, refining demon and returning to truth!"

Zhao Sheng’s expression was grave, he muttered incantations continuously, making more than a hundred seals with his hands, and from deep within his mind, a violet flame suddenly emerged.

Whoosh~

When the last ancient refining demon incantation fell, a violet flame the size of a fist shot out from his forehead, and upon entering the five-colored sea of fire, the blaze surged instantly, spreading all around.

Following his heart intent, the Demon Refining Heart Fire rapidly shifted through countless "frequencies," often changing the "will wave frequency" thousands of ways in an instant, thus "purifying" the Five Emotions Demon Fire.

Amazingly, the Five Emotions Demon Fire seemed to become the fuel for the Demon Refining Heart Fire, and the five-colored sea of fire quickly turned into a vast purple sea of fire.

The sea of fire spread across the entire world, burning all the illusions to ashes, while the resonating chants sharply diminished, and this world itself seemed to become very "fragile."

Wherever the sea of fire spread, large and small cracks burned open in an instant.

Zhao Sheng breathed a sigh of relief, stepping boldly into the sea of fire, with the blood light burned by the heart fire rapidly thinning and fading...

At the same time, he felt the alien power that sealed his divine thought and mana weakening swiftly, soon loosening slightly.

Soon after, the chanting sounds came to an abrupt halt, and this patch of heaven and earth shattered with a loud crash.

Zhao Sheng suddenly opened his eyes, a flash of five-colored flames flickering in his pupils.

As he awakened, an expansive violet flame arose abruptly from the bodies of the corpses on the ground, swiftly turning them into clouds of ash.

...

Just as Zhao Sheng successfully neutralized the enemy’s scheme, in the vast space-time far away, inside a massive Great Sun, a giant bird’s head suddenly rose.

The phoenix awoke... once again!

It gazed into the dark void, fixing on a certain spot, with a will capable of destroying heaven and earth spreading through the Great Sun: "... Finally found you, Kui Niu!"

The next moment, boundless waves of fire surged across the surface of the Great Sun, and the phoenix’s avatar slowly sank into the sea of fire, executing the Great Sun Divine Escape, and teleporting to another Great Sun thousandfold Constant Years away.

The star system where this Great Sun resided had only three planets, one of which had been mostly destroyed, with the remaining two planets’ surfaces being a scene of ruins, as though after a great war.

Between the first and third planets, an asteroid belt spread out, covered with countless corpses, with remains even scattered throughout the void, forming clusters of corpse clouds.

This asteroid belt was clearly formed over time after a planet had been violently destroyed.

If Zhao were here, he would recognize at a glance that this miniature star system was the Demon Suppression Star System of the past.

The phoenix didn’t care about the history of this star system, only focusing on sensing a wisp of five-colored flame light in the void.

Suddenly, enormous waves of fire surged from the surface of the Great Sun!

...

In the giant star system where the Taiyi Spirit Realm is located, the Great Sun sat at the center, endlessly radiating infinite light and heat.

Suddenly, the light of the Great Sun dimmed imperceptibly, instantly returning to brightness.

No one could detect this anomaly, naturally, and no one knew that an unfamiliar Tribulation Crossing Venerable had arrived in this star system.

On the surface of the Great Sun, a pillar of fire slowly rose, topped with a woman dressed in a feathered robe.

The robe was fiery red, exuding a kind of indescribably domineering aura.

The woman’s face was adorned with a silver-white mask, engraved with a phoenix spreading its wings in flight.

The phoenix turned her head, landing her gaze on an enormous planet, its outer layer encircled by a star ring.

The star ring was formed by gaseous planets, appearing glorious and splendid.

The phoenix’s gaze swept over the star ring, quickly landing on a certain continent of the giant planet, her eyes suddenly blazing with fire.

In the next second, she disappeared out of thin air.

...

At the same time,

Zhao Sheng watched as all the corpses turned to ash, feeling a heavy heart.

But in the next moment, his expression suddenly changed, and a great inexplicable panic arose within him, as if some kind of danger were imminent.

As the cultivation realm advances, a cultivator’s five senses and seven consciousnesses become increasingly acute, eventually granting the ability to "avoid danger at its scent and act on sudden impulses," and even reaching the mysterious state of "foreknowledge."

Since advancing to the Unification Realm, Zhao Sheng gradually developed a mysterious sensation akin to "near foreknowledge."

Unless a Great Ability deliberately acts to obscure the heavenly secrets, he would usually sense some kind of danger before it arrives.

At this very moment, for the first time, he felt a sense of immense calamity impending.

Zhao Sheng glanced around, his divine thought instantly covering thousands of miles in all directions, yet he found no trace of where the danger might come from.

As time passed, the sense of impending doom became increasingly pronounced. Zhao Sheng’s heart tightened, his divine thought gathered into a thin line, probing into the Jade Void Cave beneath Dragon Head Peak.

No one?!

Zhao Xuanjing was not in the Jade Void Cave cultivating in seclusion; it was unknown where he went.

Can’t wait any longer!

Zhao Sheng felt an increasing peril and steeled himself, his figure flickered and he instantly moved back to the Five Thunders Cave Heaven.

Under heaven and earth, there was no place more secure and hidden than one’s own cave heaven. Therefore, facing unknown threats, he chose to temporarily hide in the cave to avoid the calamity.

Just as he retreated to the cave heaven, above the Four Holy Continents, a woman wearing a feathered robe and mask appeared out of nowhere; she was none other than the Great Venerable Phoenix.

The Phoenix’s eyes flickered slightly as she gazed down at the land below, murmuring to herself: "...vanished?"

"Haha, you can’t escape. Someday..."

The roaring gang wind scattered her words, along with that fiery red figure.

...

Five Thunders Cave Heaven.

With a flash of light and shadow, Zhao Sheng appeared out of thin air above a mountain ridge.

Upon returning to the cave heaven, the feeling of impending doom instantly disappeared!

Sigh~

Zhao Sheng let out a long breath, casually wiping away the cold sweat from his forehead, and slowly started to relax inside.

"Where does the danger originate from? Red Eyebrow Demon Path? Or... Taiyi Spirit Palace? Or perhaps..." His mind raced as a storm surged in his thoughts.

Zhao Sheng recalled the events multiple times, suddenly realizing: "No, it’s not the Red Eyebrow Demon Path, but the Five Emotions Demon Fire!"

It was the resurgence of the Five Emotions Demon Fire that caused his great panic.

Once he thought about the origin of the Five Emotions Demon Fire, Zhao Sheng immediately knew who the danger came from.

Yes, it must be that old woman Phoenix who came for me!

This is... tricky!

Thinking of this, Zhao Sheng’s heart tightened, his expression became extremely grim.

...

Half a day later, Zhao Sheng pulled over a patch of cloud and sat cross-legged on it with a worried look on his face.

Despite thinking for half a day, he couldn’t think of a way to completely rid himself of the Phoenix’s pursuit.

Unless he threw the Kui Niu Treasure from the Purple Mansion beyond the Nine Heavens, he would eventually be found by the Phoenix.

Although he had estimated the strength of the Tribulation Crossing Venerable as high as possible, the Phoenix was no ordinary Tribulation Crossing Venerable; there was a Lord Wanxing standing behind her.

He knew well that the so-called Divine Beast Treasure was actually a Demigod Device, and the Divine Beast Messenger was a physical vessel carefully crafted by the Lord Wanxing.

Nobody could tell whether the Lord Wanxing would descend to the Mortal World through the Phoenix’s true body at a crucial moment.

If he provoked the Lord Wanxing to act, he would undoubtedly die.

After contemplating back and forth, Zhao Sheng decided to focus on a certain suppressed broken pen.

With a flicker of thought, the Hundred Generations Book slowly rose from the depths of the Soul Sea... A bald broken pen was stuck to the bottom of the booklet, like a dead object.

Zhao Sheng released a wisp of divine thought, cautiously contacting the broken pen.

Bang!

He was hit as if by lightning, and his spirit suffered excruciating pain, instantly losing consciousness.

Uncertain of how long it took, Zhao Sheng slowly regained consciousness, only to feel a splitting headache and a bloody hue filled his vision.

Reaching to touch his eye socket, he found his hands wet with copious amounts of crimson blood.

Meanwhile, deep in the Purple Mansion Soul Sea, the Primordial Spirit’s magic body dimmed, its surface covered with numerous cracks.

Just a trace of divine thought touching it had dealt severe damage to his primordial spirit.

The power of the broken pen was terrifying to the extreme!
