Chapter 941: Chapter 661: Ancient Refining Heart, Divine Might Like a Prison!
"Big brother, don’t be impulsive?! With this move, you’ll consume at least half of your original divine blood and fall to the Second Step."
"Big brother, if it really doesn’t work, let’s retreat to Yan Ming and hold the line."
"As long as there’s life, there’s hope!"
The three World Venerables were somewhat panicked.
By offering one’s bloodline to the heavens, it can invoke the divine corpses of ancestors, mobilizing a trace of True Divine Power of extremely high caliber.
Even Lu Chenzhou, not to mention a true Great Power, could potentially suffer severe injuries or even fall if not careful.
This is the final trump card of the Divine Race, only usable by those in the Third Step, and cannot be employed unless facing the crisis of annihilation.
Under this oppressive divine might, only those of the Eight Realms can barely withstand it.
Across the entire battlefield, within a radius of a million miles, those below the Eight Realms either fainted or knelt on the ground, worshiping in reverence.
No matter how strong one’s will, it was futile, for this was the might of a True God, and even a trace was terrifying.
Looking at the Mystic Sky Army and the other Hanhai Six Sons, who lost their fighting strength in an instant, the Hanhai Sect Master, bent by the divine might, couldn’t help but despair.
"In the face of absolute power, nothing else matters."
Such a trump card was unheard of.
Even the high echelons of the Divine Race were unaware, only the four World Venerables, passed down through generations, could use it.
Therefore, the intelligence of the Mystic Sky Alliance couldn’t uncover it.
Under the divine might, the arrogance of the Beidou God Monarch was significantly diminished.
"This is the True God, and even a trace of power from after death almost made me lose the will to resist. Luckily, I endured the second trial of the Dou Ancestor Cave Mansion, enhancing my will, already possessing a hint of the High Miao trait, or this battle would be unmanageable."
He deeply understood why the Divine Court could dominate heaven and earth and why the Evil God of Stars was so confident.
The power of the Gods is too overwhelming.
After the appearance of the Bi Fang Divine Feather, countless divine warriors looked excited, and their divine blood boiled.
That familiar yet distant aura, was from ancestors they had never met.
The creator of the Red Feather Divine Race!
"The Divine Race is destined to win!"
"Those who disdain the Divine will be punished severely."
"Prepare for the judgment of Bi Fang Divine! Let the flames purify everything!"
The morale of the Divine Race soared, and the battlefield situation was reversed once again.
The bald giant and the Spirit Phoenix Dominator exchanged a glance.
"This is the Bi Fang Divine Feather, a resistance beyond the means of ordinary Great Powers."
"Just one feather can suppress an entire battlefield, truly astonishing... Old Dragon, it seems we too must call upon our ancestors."
"Do it, if we don’t use it, we won’t have another chance. We’re all going to die here today."
In the next moment, a loud, high-pitched cry came from within Myriad Feather Mountain.
One by one, the true phoenix shadows, resplendent and bathed in seven-colored divine light, flew out.
They were neither alive nor dead, and their level of cultivation was indiscernible, only a sense of formidable True Spirit majesty could be felt.
The leader was a Mystic Sky Ice Phoenix, adorned in splendid ice-blue feathers, filling a radius of a hundred thousand miles with frost.
It was the ancestor of the Spirit Phoenix Dominator.
"Call upon the ancestor for aid!" the Spirit Phoenix Dominator called out.
"We understand, never imagined you would dare to battle the descendants of the Divine Race, it’s worthy of the Phoenix Clan’s aura, not bad!"
The Mystic Sky Ice Phoenix’s crisp and melodious female voice resounded.
Strands of Heavenly Phoenix shadows flew out, propping up the Bi Fang Divine Feather slowly descending from the sky.
"Mere remnants of ancient True Spirit will dare confront the descent of the Divine? Crush them!"
Yan Ming Realm Venerable sat cross-legged, glaring at the sky with a sneer, fully focused on controlling the descend of the Divine Feather.
"Even dead, you dare call yourself Divine, a single feather wishes to defy the heavens?" The Mystic Sky Ice Phoenix sneered.
"Roar! We of the Dragon Clan also wish to test how capable Bi Fang still is!" The Dragons Palace trembled as vague ancient dragon souls awakened.
The state of the dragon ancestors was much like that of the phoenix ancestors, long deceased, but the souls of the Dragon and Phoenix True Spirits do not enter reincarnation after death, instead deeply hiding residual souls within supreme treasures, most often slumbering to resist reincarnation, only emerging at critical moments of clan extinction to turn the tide.
The leading divine dragon was an old Five-clawed Golden Dragon, its body enveloped in the law of the Five Elements Dao, astonishingly mysterious.
The Five Elements True Dragon, a top-level True Spirit, a single dragon mastering the Five Elements Dao, its power far surpassing ordinary True Spirits.
Its ancient voice echoed across the battlefield:
"The Dao Palace is shattered, the Divine is dead, at most Yan Ming could summon down the Bi Fang Divine Feather. Its level is high, but there are too few. Were he able to bring down the entire Bi Fang Divine Corpse, he’d have been invincible long ago. After a divine’s death, its might is residual. With enough will, it can be resisted!"
"Damn, it seems this Dragon and Phoenix Clans have quite the hidden depths, these old colleagues are also concealed." Yan Ming spat out another mouthful of original divine blood, and amidst the buzzing tremor, yet another Bi Fang Divine Feather descended. "Since you have shown yourselves, I’ll send you into reincarnation so you cannot hope to survive."
"Big brother..." Seeing the second Bi Fang Divine Feather descend, the other three World Venerables became uneasy.
At this rate, Yan Ming might exhaust himself to death.
"If I don’t use this move, the Divine Alliance has no tomorrow. Since death is inevitable, why not let this universe last witness the might of the Divine? You should all stop holding back, show all your trump cards! Only by killing Lu Chenzhou is there hope of turning the tide, otherwise, the Divine Alliance will not last beyond today!"
Yan Ming Realm Venerable said coldly.
"Then let’s fight for our lives."
"We cannot let them look down on our Divine Race."
"Kill!"
The other three World Venerables also unleashed their life-risking trump cards.
For a moment, it left the mighty of the Mystic Sky Alliance gasping for breath.
The battlefield’s situation changed rapidly, becoming utterly unpredictable.
"These guys have gone all out, and so have we. Damn it, this battle is worth it!"
"Hahaha, rounding it up, we have fought alongside the Divine Spirit, as even the Bi Fang Divine Feather has descended to the mortal world."
The powerful members of the Mystic Sky Alliance still able to fight were burning themselves, slaughtering in all directions.
In fact, compared to them, the divine might they bore was just the tip of the iceberg.
Ninety percent of the divine might was focused by Yan Ming to suppress Lu Chenzhou.
Yan Ming knew Lu Chenzhou’s will was strong, and if he didn’t concentrate his attacks, this level of divine might wouldn’t be enough to annihilate Lu Chenzhou.
Lu Chenzhou’s state was indeed not good.
He saw Yan Ming summoning the Divine Feather by sacrificing a thousand enemies at the cost of eight hundred of his own.
He intended to use the Scythe of Death God to see if he could kill in one strike, to try his luck.
But unexpectedly, after the Divine Feather descended, the terrifying divine might directly immobilized him.
Not only his body, but also his will and thoughts.
Under the divine might, he seemed to have arrived in an ancient world like a purgatory.
Under the red sky and on the magma earth, there was nothing else.
In the endless flames surrounding him, it was as if he was inside Lord Lao Zi of the Great Monad’s alchemy furnace.
An existence of supreme power used heaven and earth as a furnace, intending to completely refine Lu Chenzhou’s body and mind.
Above the sky, two red suns emerged among the clouds, which were a pair of angry eyes.
Through countless fiery clouds, one could see in the deep sky the incomparably large red flame divine bird.
Bi Fang!
Just staring at these eyes left Lu Chenzhou’s mind blank.
Fortunately, his will was already infinitely close to High Miao, so he wasn’t pulled into them, completely sinking.
If one stands guard for too long, something might go wrong. If he couldn’t break free in time and Yan Ming decided to go down together, summoning another Divine Feather,
then his situation would turn dire.
The Undying Body is strong, but if his will is directly eradicated at the source, he would truly die.
"Will is the key. I must guard my spirit, stabilize my heart realm, and absolutely not be crushed by divine might!"
Amidst the scorching flames, Lu Chenzhou endured immense pain, sitting cross-legged with his hands in prayer, like an old monk in meditation.
In his mind, the inheritance incantation of ’Ice Purity Divine Eyes’ surfaced, bringing forth a cool sensation, forming a small circle of ice-blue divine light.
Though faint, it continually resisted the fierce flames of Bi Fang’s divine might.
"Misfortune arrives, and the Ancient Heart Refining Tribulation comes without warning. Luckily, I prepared in advance by cultivating the ’Ice Purity Divine Eyes’."
Lu Chenzhou sensed something subtly and smiled wryly.
"In that case, let me witness the scenery of the Fourth Level of Heart Realm!"
He sat there stubbornly enduring in the inferno of divine might.
...
In the outside world, two Divine Feathers suppressed everything.
Yan Ming Realm Venerable single-handedly battled the resurgent residual souls of the dragon and phoenix.
"This is the power of the divine! No matter what true spirit or genius you are, you’re just ants!"
He laughed madly, already lost in the great power that didn’t belong to him.
At this moment, Lu Chenzhou was being scorched by Bi Fang’s divine fire, suffering a dual assault on body and spirit.
The Undying Body once again exhibited its formidable nature, countering the destruction of the divine fire with extreme healing power.
This made Lu Chenzhou’s state seem like he was constantly switching between ’nothing’ and ’existence’, wandering between life and death.
"Let’s see how long you can last." Yan Ming Realm Venerable continuously infused divine blood into the Divine Feather.
Meanwhile, in the void around the battlefield, two figures quietly hid.
An old man in a white robe, and a young maiden.
"Old turtle, you’re just watching?"
"What else?"
"This is your most precious little junior brother. Where will you find such an extraordinary inheritor if he dies? If you don’t cherish him, give him to me!"
"Hahaha, dies?"
"The Undying Body is not omnipotent. His number of resurrections is also limited. Once exhausted, he will be reduced to nothing by the divine fire."
"No, the key is not this, but the heart. These divine fires, though strong, aren’t enough to kill the little junior brother. The truly formidable is the divine might, which is the true might left behind by Bi Fang before his death. Even a strand contained in a feather is comparable to great power, and even we might not be able to withstand it."
The young maiden listened, her eyes gradually showing a hint of surprise and doubt.
"Could this be Lu Chenzhou’s Ancient Heart Refining Tribulation?"
"That’s right, the Heart Refining Tribulation isn’t timed, and it can arrive anytime when one’s heart realm is at its peak. If I’m not mistaken, the junior brother’s tribulation is here. If he can overcome it, he will become Fire Refining True Gold, achieving a heart as lofty as High Miao, with willpower comparable to the great power. Otherwise... his body will perish along with his Dao."
"At this moment, like that moment in the past, I remember the master of Yuan Mountain was also forged in the Divine Refining Furnace."
"That’s right, and coincidentally, that deity... was Bi Fang!"
...
"Are they crazy? They’ve even summoned the Bi Fang Divine Feather."
"Now it’s mutual destruction, one feather suppresses everything, but Yan Ming is also doomed."
"Both sides are lunatics."
The neutral Three World Venerables observing in the shadows shook their heads and sighed.
