Chapter 642 True Immortal Dao Image
Kong Daoquan was extremely fast, and Chen Shi couldn't catch up with him. He didn't even know if Kong Daoquan had heard him say that the knife was poisoned.

"However, his vital energy is being depleted, and even if he can't hear clearly, he can still sense it."

Chen Shi looked up at the sky and saw blood and qi surging towards the Blood Transformation Divine Blade. He couldn't help but praise, "The blood and qi of a true immortal are truly powerful. He hasn't died after so long. You are blessed."

The Blood-Transforming Divine Blade jingled as it absorbed and refined Kong Daoquan's essence.

Chen Shi's strength is now vastly different from what it was before his ascension. His understanding of the Yin-Yang Dao, in particular, is incomparable to what it once was. Back then, when he was still in the Void Refining Great Ascension Realm, he wielded a longsword and slew immortals. Now, the Blood Transformation Divine Blade in his hands unleashes even greater power and more potent poison.

This poison is a Yin-Yang poison. Anyone whose cultivation on the Yin-Yang Dao does not surpass Chen Shi's will not be able to cure it. Even if their cultivation is higher, they will only bleed to death.

Kong Daoquan was highly accomplished in the Five Elements, which is why he came here to collect the Five Colored Light. However, his mastery of the Yin-Yang principle was clearly not that profound, so he was unable to detoxify and stop bleeding, resulting in a continuous loss of Qi and blood.

The Blood-Transforming Divine Blade vibrated with an unusually joyful buzz.

After arriving in the Immortal Realm, it repeatedly drank the blood of immortals, and now it is continuously absorbing the blood and qi of Kong Daoquan. It has now reached a critical period and is about to elevate itself into a Taiyi Golden Immortal treasure.

During the war that destroyed the Shang Dynasty, it had the opportunity to become a treasure of the Taiyi Golden Immortal, but unfortunately, it was defeated and suppressed under the feet of Erlang Zhenjun for hundreds of thousands of years, having long lost its former glory. However, since falling into Chen Shi's hands, it has continuously improved and thrived.

"Although Penglai West is full of treasures, it is also too dangerous."

Chen Shi gently stroked the Blood-Transforming Divine Blade and couldn't help but sigh, "If I were even slightly weaker, I would have been harmed. This world is truly unsafe."

The Blood-Transforming Divine Blade trembled slightly, deeply agreeing.

Kong Daoquan's vital energy was too abundant; it was difficult for it to absorb it all in a short time.

Chen Shi summoned the sword and hid it in the Demon Realm of the Well. However, Kong Daoquan's blood and qi flowed continuously, causing blood and qi to sway above Chen Shi's head like a scarlet ribbon, making him look like an unreliable person.

Powerful demons often roam Penglai West, but some of them avoid him from afar when they see the blood-red ribbons above Chen Shi's head, and dare not meet his face.

Chen Shi did not encounter any danger along the way.

He activated the Limitless Innate Skill, transforming the Daoist field into the Limitless Daoist Field, and his Daoist techniques shifted towards the Limitless Great Daoist Law.

After these few days of cultivation, his cultivation method has been transformed to about 70-80%, and in another two days, the transformation will be completed.

He continued his search while practicing his spiritual cultivation.

Chen Shi originally wanted to find some demons to see the difference between demons and monsters, but strangely enough, there wasn't a single demon in the vast Penglai West.

He found several more ruins, palaces built by the immortals who lived in the west of Penglai, but they were all abandoned.

Some palaces still contain huge alchemical furnaces, leaning to one side, in which some kind of elixir is being refined. It is greenish and has an unpleasant smell, and it has not yet dried up.

There are also immortal artifacts corrupted by heretical practices; they crumble like dust at the slightest touch.

"When the upheaval occurred in Penglai West back then, it must have been extremely terrifying, causing these immortals to flee in haste, without having time to take anything with them. Could it be an abnormal eruption of the Great Dao? But it shouldn't have been that terrifying."

Two days passed in the blink of an eye. Chen Shi's transformation of his Daoist cultivation was complete. He felt his cultivation level rise significantly, and he was on the verge of breaking through the Xuan Gate in the Dao Ruins Realm and taking another step forward.

If he takes this step, he will reach the True Immortal realm, and he will be able to form the first Dao image, the Supreme Emperor Huang Zeng Heavenly Dao Image!
By then, the Dao Realm will be ten thousand miles wide, and with the added power of the Dao Image, its strength will surpass its current level by countless times!

"Kong Daoquan is not dead yet."

Chen Shi looked up and saw that the blood-red ribbon was still swaying in the air, full of vitality, which surprised him greatly.

"The inheritance of this Cloud Heaven Cave is indeed extraordinary, worthy of being the lineage of the Three Pure Ones!"

He was filled with admiration and whispered, "I'm afraid only when I cultivate to become a true immortal and make great progress in my cultivation can I make him suffer from the poison and die."

In the distance, in a black iron immortal city floating in the air, Kong Daoquan sat cross-legged, his face as white as gold.

His broken leg has been properly bandaged, and he has been given various elixirs, both internally and externally, but it cannot stop the loss of vital energy and blood.

Around him were celestial generals guarding the west of Penglai, each channeling their own vital energy into his body to keep his life force inexhaustible.

However, once their vital energy is input into the entire orifice, it will quickly decay and be lost as blood and energy.

They tried all the elixirs, but to no avail. They were frantic and at a loss.

Kong Daoquan is a disciple of Yunxiao Cave Heaven, holding an extremely high position. While others struggle to survive in Penglai West, he alone can freely enter and leave, thus earning him great favor. If anything were to happen to him, the celestial soldiers and generals guarding Penglai West would likely face severe punishment!

"Don't worry."

Kong Daoquan kept his eyes down, his voice slightly weak, and said, "This is the poison of the Blood Transformation Divine Blade. My sect already has a solution. I have already informed my sect, and my fellow disciples will be here soon to help me cure this poison."

The general guarding the city was a Golden Immortal, who quickly said, "Brother Dao, I have already sent people to search for the person who injured you!"

Kong Daoquan said, "You are here to prolong my life. The others are all mediocre. Even if more of them go, they will only be sending them to their deaths. That person is a disciple of Jin'ao Island. Even if he escapes, Jin'ao Island cannot escape. Let them withdraw."

The garrison commander agreed, then summoned an immortal and gave him some instructions.

Just then, a voice came from outside, teasingly saying, "Junior Brother Kong, aren't you a native of Penglai West? How come you've also had a day when you capsized in the ditch?"

Upon hearing this, Kong Daoquan's face lit up with joy, and he said, "Brother Gu's words make me feel ashamed. To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that we had encountered disciples from Jin'ao Island this time, I wouldn't have dared to disturb you, Brother Gu."

A young man walked in from outside. He looked to be only seventeen or eighteen years old, much younger than the old Taoist priest in black robes, Kong Daoquan. He was dressed in a purple robe, handsome and elegant, with an otherworldly air.

The newcomer was named Gu Daoling, also a disciple of Yunxia Cave Heaven. Upon seeing that Kong Daoquan only had one leg left, his expression darkened, and he said in a cold voice, "Was this done by a disciple of Jin'ao Island?"

Kong Dao lowered his head sadly, looking ashamed, and said, "My skills are lacking..."

Gu Daoling snorted, flicked his sleeve to repel the crowd, took out a jade bottle, tossed it to Kong Daoquan, and said, "This is medicine to treat the wounds from the Heavenly Net Blood Transformation Divine Blade. You will be completely healed after taking it. How dare Jin'ao Island lay such a vicious hand on my Three Pure Ones lineage!"

Kong Daoquan opened the jade bottle and poured out a pill. The pill was black and white, like a wisp of floating gas, without any solid form.

He held it in his palm, where the black and white energies were still slowly moving, extremely mysterious.

Gu Daoling said, "Yu Yuan's Blood Transformation Divine Blade was forged using Yin and Yang energies. This person's heart is wicked, and the blade he forged is extremely demonic. The blade's poison is a poison of Yin and Yang energies. This elixir was made specifically to counter the Blood Transformation Divine Blade. It is a true Yin-Yang elixir, specifically designed to counter the Blood Transformation Divine Blade."

After Kong Daoquan took the elixir, the Yin and Yang energies gradually dissolved within his body, flowing towards the wound on his broken leg, and the continuously lost blood and energy gradually decreased.

"Senior Brother Gu, I feel a bit better."

Kong Daoquan had just finished speaking when his expression suddenly changed, and the blood gushing from the wound increased once again!

Gu Daoling's expression also changed, and he quickly said, "Take two more pills!"

Kong Daoquan quickly swallowed two more elixirs, but the medicinal power of these two elixirs only barely suppressed the knife poison in the wound for a moment. Then the knife poison erupted again, causing his blood and qi to continue to drain away! "Are you sure it's the Blood Transformation Divine Blade?" Gu Daoling asked.

Kong Daoquan nodded.

Gu Daoling frowned, pondering, "If it were the Blood Transformation Divine Blade, the poison would be cured with a single elixir. But now, the elixir cannot cure it, which means that the Daoist arts of the person who consecrated the blade are even superior to those of the Qi Immortal Yu Yuan. His understanding of Yin and Yang has surpassed that of Yu Yuan during the war to destroy Shang!"

He made a quick decision, burned incense and prayed, saying, "Junior brother, I cannot save you. I can only ask a master from our sect to come!"

The group remained there, using their own vital energy to prolong Kong Daoquan's life.

After persisting for two more days, even though Kong Daoquan was a black peacock who had attained enlightenment, he had become emaciated and extremely weak, sometimes unconscious and sometimes lucid.

"Daoquan has suffered."

A voice rang out, and Kong Daoquan opened his eyes. Upon seeing the person who had entered, tears streamed down his face. He choked out, "Master, I have disgraced you! I was beaten by the people of Jin'ao Island and am so badly injured that I have no face to see you again!"

The newcomer was a middle-aged Taoist priest with a kind face. His arrival brought a refreshing breeze to the room, making it feel indescribably pleasant. He was none other than Master Kuang, Kong Daoquan's master.

Behind Kuang Daoren were more than a dozen immortals, all powerful cultivators, some at the Golden Immortal Realm and others at the True Immortal Realm. Seeing Kong Daoquan's miserable state, they were all filled with righteous indignation; they were his disciples.

Besides these immortals, there were also several Taoists, who were Kuang Daoren's fellow disciples.

Kuang Daoren stepped forward, examined Kong Daoquan's knife wound, frowned slightly, and said, "Troublesome, very troublesome!"

Another Taoist priest stepped forward, examined the wound closely, and said, "This injury is remarkable; the subtleties of Yin and Yang have surpassed my understanding."

A female Taoist priest approached to examine the situation and was startled. She exclaimed, "It is rare to find someone who has cultivated the Yin-Yang arts to such a level. This person's attainments in the Yin-Yang Dao have already surpassed those of the legendary One Qi Immortal Yu Yuanliang."

These people were all Kong Daoquan's senior uncles and grand-uncles, each with unfathomable cultivation, but they were all helpless in the face of Kong Daoquan's knife wound.

"Junior Brother Kuang, I have a treasure."

An old Taoist priest in plain clothes took a Tai Chi diagram from the cloth bag on his back and said, "This diagram is a copy of the Tai Chi diagram that I saw from the master. I have never used it before, but I never thought that I would have to use it today."

He unfolded the Tai Chi diagram and placed it on Kong Daoquan's wound, which immediately stopped the bleeding.

Kong Daoquan's internal and external remedies took effect immediately, and the wound began to scab and heal.

Upon seeing this, everyone laughed and said, "This person's Taoist techniques are indeed wonderful, but they cannot surpass the Yin-Yang Taiji."

Just then, Kong Daoquan's expression changed drastically. He suddenly cried out as the knife wound on his groin reopened. In an instant, blood gushed from his body, and all his cultivation turned into blood energy, like heavy pools of blood crashing to the ground and flowing outwards.

Kong Daoquan's flesh and blood dried up instantly, turning him into a corpse, and he collapsed!

This unexpected turn of events caught everyone off guard. Even Kuang Daoren couldn't save him in time, and Kong Daoquan died!
silence.

Deathly silence.

The senior and junior disciples of Yunxiao Cave Heaven all turned ashen-faced. Although this Taiji diagram was a copy, its power was still extraordinary, and it had failed to suppress the sword poison!
Kuang Daoren's face turned ashen. He picked up the Taiji diagram that had been knocked down by the blood energy. He saw that the Yin and Yang fish in the diagram had been shattered and blurred by the impact, and only the outer infinite circle was still intact.

Gu Daoling said, "Master..."

Kuang Daoren's eyes twitched, and he slowly stood up, saying with a half-smile, "What a wonderful Taoist method, truly a wonderful Taoist method. Dao Quan Neng died under such a method, and his death was not unjust."

He walked outside, flicking his sleeve and saying, "Jin'ao Island is nothing but beasts and scum. After destroying the Shang Dynasty, I spared their lives out of consideration for our past relationship. I never imagined they would take my beloved disciple's life today. Come with me and let's get rid of this arrogant scoundrel!"

Everyone filed out.

At Gu Daoling's command, the immortal soldiers and generals of each immortal city immediately set out to search for Chen Shi's whereabouts.

Within an ancient temple, the last surge of blood energy erupted, like a surging tide, resounding powerfully. Chen Shi raised his hand and grasped the hilt of the Blood-Transforming Divine Blade, brandishing it. Instantly, the ancient temple was enveloped in blood-red light, the entire room turning crimson.

"Kong Daoquan is finally dead."

Chen Shi exhaled a breath of turbid air. Just now, he had finally broken through to the Celestial Immortal Realm and cultivated into a True Immortal.

The moment he broke through to the next level was the same moment the Taiji diagram covered Kong Daoquan's wound, causing the Daoist power within the wound to erupt and break the Taiji diagram open.

"Kong Daoquan truly lives up to his reputation as a demon seed; his cultivation at the True Immortal Realm is so formidable, allowing him to maintain his position until now."

Although Kong Daoquan was dead, Chen Shi still greatly admired his cultivation.

Chen Shi gripped the Blood Transformation Divine Blade tightly. The blade had absorbed and refined Kong Daoquan's blood and qi, elevating it to the level of a Taiyi Golden Immortal treasure. The blade's power had greatly increased, and the demonic nature within it had become increasingly intense. The moment he grasped the blade, the demonic nature burrowed into his mind!
Chen Shi remained unmoved, guarding his inner strength. He then activated the Limitless Dao Technique, transforming the Limitless Innate Skill into the Limitless Innate Demonic Skill. His demonic nature surged, and he immediately gained control of the Blood Transformation Divine Blade.

The Blood-Transforming Divine Blade was completely subdued by him and became obedient.

Chen Shi placed the Blood-Transforming Divine Blade across his knees, sat cross-legged, and closed his eyes to concentrate.

He had just broken through to the True Immortal Realm and had not yet had time to consolidate his cultivation. At this moment, the Innate Technique was in operation, and both the Demon Realm in the Well and the Dao Ruins Realm were slowly expanding outward.

The villagers of Fuluo Village looked up and saw that the edge of Chen Shi's Dao Realm was still getting closer and closer to Fuluo Village, and they couldn't help but feel extremely anxious.

They wanted to escape immediately, but the green monument still stood in the center of the village and couldn't be moved at all.

They couldn't bear to abandon the blue monument and flee.

"Buzz!"

The space trembled slightly, and the Dao Realm had already submerged Fuluo Village.

Duke Shangdu sighed and comforted everyone, saying, "We used to be tenant farmers, but now we're just slaves, like cattle and horses, no different from each other. Eat when you're hungry, drink when you're thirsty, sleep when you're tired!"

The villagers had no choice but to accept becoming subjects of Chen Shidao.

Meanwhile, in Xiniu New Island, another wonderful change took place.

The deity guarding the bathing capital gazed upon the emerging phenomena of the Great Dao. The air reverberated with the sounds of Sanskrit chants, and Sanskrit characters danced in the air, coalescing into a feathered crown-like phenomenon. Elsewhere, other phenomena of the Great Dao, such as the Pure Wind and the Gate of Cataclysm, were gradually taking shape.

In the underworld, under the watchful eyes of Houtu Niangniang and Xiao Yama Wang, the laws of the Great Dao naturally coalesce into a new eighteen levels of hell.

Meanwhile, in Xinxiang, the capital city, a strange rhythm suddenly came from the sky. People in the capital looked up and saw strange characters gradually descending from the sky. They resembled bamboo slips, but the characters were like bird script and insect script, obscure and difficult to understand.

Chen Tang hurriedly went to Qianyang Mountain to seek guidance from Master Zhang. Master Zhang carefully examined the scroll of heavenly book in the sky, and suddenly his expression changed slightly. He said, "This extraordinary phenomenon of the Great Dao seems to be the Heavenly Secrets Strategy!"
