In my twilight years of cultivating, I became a Supreme Daoist of the Longevity Path

These two treasures, although they had lost the will of the Supreme Daoist, had formed a strong aura on their own, isolating the Dead Qi.

However, with the envelopment of Dead Qi, it could also somewhat weaken the suppression of Ghost Shade on the two treasures.

Chen Dengming looked at the Phoenix True Blood sealed by Qu Shenzong using the Heavenly Will, then gazed at the Enlightenment Tree Branch that was struck by the Heavenly Dao’s punitive lightning and turned scorched black, and slightly nodded his head.

This time, in shaping the Taoist Body, the first step he took was to establish the foundation of the Taoist Body with the Five Great Inheritance Immortal Halls, endowing the lifeless stone with vitality using the heavenly thunder and phoenix blood.

The second step was to imbue the Taoist Body with the Dao Force, transforming the Enlightenment Tree Branch into the meridians throughout the Body.

The third step was to endow the Taoist Body with a spirited consciousness using his own Dao’s Intention of Heaven Human Life and Death.

From this step on, it began to differ gradually from the process of shaping the Taoist Body last time.

Previously, he had used the Heavenly Will to grant the Taoist Body a spirited consciousness, turning decay into magic, and igniting the lifeless stone into a spiritual embryo, with the help of the power of Heavenly Dao.

But now, possessing his own Dao of Heaven’s Life and Death, he naturally used his own Dao Intention to awaken the Taoist Body, truly making it a Heavenly Human Life-Death Dao Body that belonged to him.

With just these three steps completed, unlike before where he had to undertake a fourth step, the Taoist Body would naturally and seamlessly integrate with his own Nascent Soul and Divine Spirit.

At this moment.

Chen Dengming began to connect his Divine Spirit with the Dao Domain, concentrating his Divine Thought and will.

A grand and majestic aura, spreading out from him in all directions, like the authority of heaven.

Chen Dengming’s eyes gathered a piercing white light, radiating sharply.

Now, as the Taoist Master of the Heaven Human Life and Death World, he could truly claim that his will was the will of heaven.

Suddenly, white light burst forth from his eyes.

Boom!—

Two bolts of punitive lightning, like razor-sharp swords, suddenly struck the floating virtual images of the Five Inheritance Immortal Palaces in front of him.

The collision at that moment formed an extremely dazzling and eerie scene.

Lightning raged wildly.

“Crackle!”

Brilliant sparks of electric fire exploded on top of the Five Inheritance Immortal Palaces, fracturing into countless root-like flashes that lingered persistently.

The Five Inheritance Immortal Palaces began to crumble immediately, and then, as Chen Dengming’s will in his eyes intensified, the Dao Intention of Heaven Human Life and Death nearly manifested into rules.

Under this intense pressure from the four Great Dao’s Intention, the Five Inheritance Immortal Palaces, being inherently linked, could not resist, and exploded into five huge balls of electrical fire light, emitting terrifying booming sounds, shattering into countless pieces.

This overwhelming Dao Force’s pressure and momentum spread in all directions, instantly stirring up huge waves in the River of Styx.

The explosion of the punitive lightning and the Five Great Inheritance Immortal Palaces directly blasted a terrifying mushroom cloud in the river water, followed by a collapse, transforming into a ring-shaped shockwave spreading out.

Far away, hundreds of miles distant, observing the situation were Mini Array Spirit, Chu Xun, and Starfall Old Ghost, who felt a terrifying pressure along with the vibrations of the River of Styx water harshly pushing from afar, all showing shocked expressions and quickly retreating.

Boom!—

The powerful Dao Intention of Heaven Human Life and Death, even over hundreds of miles away, when it impacted the three ghosts, caused their minds to boom, and their heads buzzing.

Further away, some sneaky ghosts who had come to observe the situation of the Ghost Immortal Mansion were also affected by the impact, each panicking and retreating rapidly, their faces pale, terrified and horrified.

This Master of Heavenly Human was indeed too powerful.

With such terrifying might, who else would dare harbor any ghostly intentions? It’s like seeking death, recklessly provoking King Yama, and facing the inevitable in the book of life and death.

In the high skies, Dongfang Huayuan witnessed the commotion Chen Dengming was causing below, and he couldn’t help but stare in astonishment, only now realizing that Chen Dengming had actually shattered five Inheritance Immortal Halls simultaneously, turning them into materials for forging his Taoist Body.

This was truly too insane, too extravagant, and he instinctively gripped the Human God Palace tighter.

Thankfully, Chen Dengming had just returned the Human God Palace to him.

He had originally offered to lend it to Chen Dengming for a bit longer, but that was a crazy idea—fortunately, his own Human God Palace wasn’t refined, which showed that the other party had some sense of honor.

At the same moment, Chen Dengming’s Divine Thought intent had already swept towards the sealed Phoenix True Blood, releasing it.

The sealing power quickly unraveled.

A large amount of Phoenix True Blood containing terrifying high temperatures burst out, instantly transforming into an incredibly intense Phoenix Real Fire, which was drawn below, engulfing and burning the crushed remnants of the five Inheritance Immortal Halls, gradually condensing and shaping into a humanoid outline, endowing the Taoist Body with vitality.

The Taoist Body, shaped by the five Inheritance Immortal Halls, had a skeleton pure and flawless, radiating intense white radiance, containing the aura of the Four Great Dao Intentions of Life and Death of Heaven and Human.

Among these auras, there were also hints of fortune and longevity mixed in.

The Phoenix True Blood was like painting flesh on a skeleton, diffusing everywhere, igniting patches of Dao Fire that emitted frightening high temperatures.

This Dao Fire quickly started burning in the River of Styx, causing the temperature of the River to sharply increase.

At this moment, even the Dead Qi was burnt away, and the oppressive force from the Ghost Shade’s rules could no longer be avoided, harshly descending upon the Taoist Body.

However, the Phoenix Dao Fire seemed able to directly burn even rules; this oppression only managed to slightly restrain the fire’s momentum, but did not extinguish the Dao Fire.

Witnessing this situation, a trace of determination gradually emerged in Chen Dengming’s eyes.

He suddenly touched his forehead, and in a flash, his Divine Spirit flew out, his three souls and seven spirits layering into ten shadows of light, hovering in front of the Taoist Body, feeling the terrifying power emanating from the Phoenix Dao Fire.

This time, he not only wanted to reshape the Taoist Body but also use the Phoenix True Blood to forge his Divine Spirit, thoroughly undergoing a rebirth by fire.

He had already figured it out; the Phoenix Cry Dao Monument was here to sever karma and causality.

This karma and causality could only be severed by his own death.

Now, not only had he not died, but he had also gained a new life, and it was very likely that the Phoenix Cry Dao Monument would re-emerge later.

Whether for self-protection, revenge, or the entirety of the Ancient Region, this rebirth required him to have even higher and more stringent demands on his own strength.

Once, the Phoenix Cry Dao Monument had destroyed one of his Taoist Bodies, taking away another.

Now, he was reshaping the Taoist Body, which not only needed to be unafraid of the Phoenix Dao Fire, but his Divine Spirit also needed to be fearless of the Phoenix Dao Fire, born from the flames.

This idea was unquestionably audacious, virtually seeking life from death, the chances of success very slim, but Chen Dengming dared to try it.

His Divine Spirit had already been burned by the Phoenix Dao Fire once, almost destroying both form and spirit.

Now having recovered, he was not entirely without resistance, and along with many precious resources for repairing the Divine Spirit, he wasn’t completely without chance.

Meanwhile,

In various places across the Ancient Region where sinful aura had accumulated, the restless sinful mists were stirring, and from the depths of one patch of sinful mist, a massive figure intertwined with evil aura awakened from its slumber.

Karmic retribution and blessings, intertwined causality—it had sensed a new opportunity, its cause wildly probing on the edge of danger, which would also become its effect…
