Chapter 1493: Chapter 1448: Enlightenment of the Dao in the Mountains, Severing Past Ties! (1)

"Cosmic Extremes!"

Heaven and earth have their extremes, and thus, among them, there can be unexpected providence. Right now, the thought of merely entering closed-door cultivation involuntarily made both of them exclaim in low voices. To think it would actually stir the cosmic extremes, could it be that great fortune is descending upon them?

"I’ve read an ancient hand note a long time ago. It stated that a cultivator of the Divine Path harmonizes with the cosmic extremes, hence they face many trials and tribulations before encountering great fortune!"

The voice of the Yu Clan Great Emperor rang out, carrying a hint of envy or jealousy unknown even to himself.

However, before Fu Mountain Sword Saint could speak again, there was a new change at Xiao Chen’s location. Just meters above the ground, the Void began to twist, and a majestic and vast world’s phantom slowly unfolded, enveloping the space above Xiao Chen’s head.

"That is the ancient Chaotic Time-Space!"

A hint of envy shone in the eyes of Fu Mountain Sword Saint. Some fortunes were so great that even he, the emperor, could not help but feel envious!

Great fortune, true and genuine great fortune!

The ancient time-space stretched across the ages, countless streams of Chaos poured down like a waterfall, completely submerging Xiao Chen!

Just as the Yu Clan Great Emperor said, before great fortune often comes great hardship!

Right now, Xiao Chen couldn’t help but inwardly curse his greed, as refining just a thumb-sized piece of the Scorpion God Clan’s blood bone was indeed too little for someone like the current Xiao Chen; such a small amount of flesh and blood was insufficient to trigger any significant transformation in his body!

It wouldn’t be so bad if he had penetrated only a single principle, but the problem was, like one possessed, he went on to infuse the thirty-sixth Dao Principle, which was the powerful Life-slaying Dao Principle.

Now his body simply couldn’t withstand the impact of the Life-slaying Principle penetrating through it. The violent force rushed directly through his Small World and towards every part of his body. It seems the problem lies with his War Body; there’s too little blood and flesh of the Scorpion God.

The impact from the inside out washed through his entire body from deep within. Under his Battle Robe, blood lines surfaced on his muscles, but Heavenly Divine Light traversed his skin, barely supporting his body from exploding on a large scale!

The potential impact of the thirty-six principles not only impacted his body but also his soul, making it terrifyingly oppressive for Xiao Chen, who could hardly control his own body at this moment!

Even if his Small World contained King Grade Medicine and countless resources, they were beyond his reach at this moment. If only he could separate a sliver of intention to refine those resources, the pressure on his body could be somewhat alleviated!

However, that had become a luxury wish!

What was a normal period of closed-door cultivation due to his mistake had unexpectedly become somewhat dangerous, turning it into an ordeal of life and death. However, he hadn’t given up and was doing all he could to resist the impact within!

This impact originated from the Small World. The integration of the thirty-six Dao Principles made the Small World’s principles reach an extreme, harmonizing with the essence of Heaven and Earth’s Dao. Thus, unexpectedly, it erupted with several times the impact force.

This power spilled directly from the Small World, stirring his flesh and blood!

All extremities have their limits, even though he had already stepped on the Body Returning Ancient Path. Large areas of his flesh, as clear as Divine Jade, shattered under the impact, then Xiao Chen painstakingly reassembled them to resist the assault.

Now, Xiao Chen realized he had reached an odd balance with this impacting force. He needed to leverage external forces to break this balance and dilute the impact emanating from his Small World.

Unfortunately, both Fu Mountain Sword Saint and Blue Light Emperor were a hundred miles away and could hardly detect his current predicament.

Thud!

As Xiao Chen was strenuously resisting the impact, a sound of thunder, like the early morning bell or the evening drum, directly stirred his body and spirit, making his languid spirit suddenly wake up!

This was the last thunder sound, but it carried a mysterious force absent from the preceding thirty-five, which suddenly infused Xiao Chen with vitality!

Boom!

In that instant, a corner of the Chaotic World that had manifested above Xiao Chen’s head, rushed down like a waterfall of Chaotic Airflow, a primordial desolation from the very beginning of earth and heaven swept over him completely.

The pure Chaos force, emanating an ancient and vicissitudinous aura, was like it had been silent through endless ages, and like an immortal breath, washed over his limbs and bones like a raging tide!

"Chaotic Airflow!"

In a deadlock, Xiao Chen felt the shock of this force, a flicker of excitement surged and setting aside all else, his suppressed body burst with unimaginable strength, suppressing even the momentum of the Dao Principle’s impact force!

Fortune.

Suddenly, a realization rose in Xiao Chen’s heart. He had never expected that unintentionally, due to the number of Dao reaching thirty-six, he had triggered the providence of cosmic extremes and lured ancient Chaotic manifestation from the temporal space of ages, bringing down fate and fortune.

With the abundance of primordial Chaos Qi falling, Xiao Chen quickly quelled the turbulence within his body. His flesh, previously shattered and reformed by the shock, became purer and more translucent, leaving behind no trace of the original flesh, transforming into the color of Luli Divine Jade.

By the time Xiao Chen had suppressed the impact within his body, the corner of the Chaotic World that had hovered above his head had naturally vanished without a trace, and the overflowing primordial Chaos Qi had also disappeared.

This left Xiao Chen with a profound sense of loss. However, deeper in his thoughts was a sense of incompletion, as if he had overlooked something vital.

Exactly where was the shortfall?

With a clear and bright mind, Xiao Chen pondered constantly, showing no sign of attempting to rise. He had a deep feeling that whatever he overlooked was of utmost importance to him!

The primordial Chaos Qi from before had merely helped quell the turmoil but didn’t significantly boost his body. It seemed that the Chaos forces integrated into the blood bone did not possess such overwhelming power but carried along another unknown essence.

Seemingly harboring an eternal primordial essence, it merged into his blood and bones, and even permeated every fiber of his flesh; yet he did not feel his flesh growing stronger, as his divine sense continuously roved within his body to probe.

Just like that, Xiao Chen sat upright on the mountain pass, his body devoid of any life force, as if he were decayed wood, allowing the clear winds of heaven and earth to blow over him.

"This..."

From afar, the Fu Mountain Sword Saint and the Yu Clan Great Emperor witness this scene, and once again, they were taken aback. They clearly felt Xiao Chen had suppressed the crisis, but for some reason, he did not choose to end his seclusion.

"The divine path is vast and unfathomable, beyond our understanding. In an era after the silence of all gods, to set foot on the divine path is essentially to be a lonely ascetic, for there’s no clear path ahead of them, only continuous self-exploration!"

The Yu Clan Great Emperor had a mysterious light in his eyes and spoke with a sigh.

Hearing this, the Fu Mountain Sword Saint let out a light sigh, understanding the words of the Yu Clan Great Emperor. A lone traveler, despite their seemingly powerful strength, must forge their own path without the guidance of predecessors. To many, a path not walked by others seems more like a shortcut to disaster!

They could feel that Xiao Chen’s life force had indeed strengthened a lot from the previous grand battle, yet how much couldn’t be tested without making a move. However, what puzzled them the most was that the rolling chaotic world, like a waterfall of pouring chaotic qi, was all devoured yet there was no sense of Xiao Chen’s momentum rising again.

It seemed that this chaotic qi was not meant to directly enhance his strength!

Another six days passed. Xiao Chen remained silent as the ancient mountains, with even the vital essence of his body at its lowest. The previously radiant divine light had also extinguished, like an eternal monument.

Whoosh!

Without any warning, Xiao Chen opened his eyes, his crystal black pupils devoid of any divine power fluctuations, just like the eyes of an ordinary person.

He took a deep breath and immediately, the breath stirred the fallen leaves before him, which spiraled in the air before finally settling down again.

"Hahaha..."

The next moment, a burst of hearty laughter emanated from Xiao Chen, the sound filled with gratification, growing from soft to loud until it directly pierced heaven and earth, resounding throughout the mountain range!

The laughter that penetrated heaven and earth was incredibly clear, immediately drawing the attention of others, all speculating whether the Forbidden Sacred Child had gone mad.

However, Xiao Chen paid no attention to the surroundings, for he finally understood where the error lay in his previous path!

His path of the body was wrong!

Utterly wrong!

His method of body refinement began with the Supreme Purple Gold King Sutra from the Purple Gold King Tribe, with the aid of this supreme body refinement art, he embarked on the Body Returning Ancient Path, aspiring to reach the absolute pinnacle of the physical form, which according to the martial arts of the present Desolate Wilds, is to transform the body into an emperor!

But becoming the Body Emperor is just a technique devised by the human predecessors based on the inspiration from the gods, adapted and innovated over the long ages, just like the martial arts, not wrong for other warriors!

But he was cultivating divinity, and if he followed this route, it was a grave mistake!

Even if the body reached the ultimate pinnacle, it would still be unable to withstand the grandeur of the divine path!

Advancing to the end where more and more laws of the Great Dao converged, even a body at the emperor realm would not withstand the erosion of the laws, not to mention that his current war body was already on the verge of being torn apart by just thirty-six laws!

"Today, I shall sever the past cultivation and cast the Supreme Divine Way!"

In an instant, the land within a thousand miles trembled fiercely, and an immense divine radiance surged from within Xiao Chen, like a divine river hanging high in the heavens, once again submerging him!

Boom!

In the blink of an eye, a more surging and vast blood qi erupted from his body, dyeing a section of the sky vault blood-red.

The surging blood-red essence, each thread heavier than a great mountain, pressed down in thousands of strands, capable of bursting even the supreme kings!

The blood qi engulfed the space between heaven and earth, submerging the sky vault, emitting greatness and vastness, directly causing the Void to twist and distort; such a spectacle naturally drew the attention of the surrounding warriors.

"What is this?"

Once again appearing not far from Xiao Chen, the Fu Mountain Sword Saint had an incredulous look in his eyes, as if he had thought of something.

At this moment, not only he, but all the supreme kings of the human race had gathered together, staring dumbfounded at the scene before them.

The boundless power continually expelled from Xiao Chen’s body. The crystal clear vitality made everyone feel an urge to grab it and run!

All of it was the most refined blood qi, even purer than the spiritual power contained within spirit crystals, and now it was all being expelled from Xiao Chen’s body!

"Such a terrifying person."

The Blue Light Emperor muttered to himself, then exchanged a glance with the Fu Mountain Sword Saint, both seeing the realization in each other’s eyes.

"Self-severing the past of martial arts!" The Fu Mountain Sword Saint bitterly smiled, he had not expected Xiao Chen to possess such a resolve!
