On the Avenue.

Chapter 737 Five Prisons and Heavenly Punishment
Huangfu Jun's eyes twitched violently, and his clothes fluttered and billowed behind him.

As Chen Shi approached, he felt sluggish and even considered retreating to avoid his sharp edge!
When Chen Shi emerged from the Demon Realm in the Well, the sense of oppression was overwhelming.

Only now did he realize that the Chen Jiuyou he had just faced was merely Chen Shi's Dao body, not Chen Shi's true form.

But this Daoist body was too powerful; it was able to withstand his attack and, although injured, escaped unscathed.

He underestimated Chen Shi's strength, and only now, facing Chen Shi in person, does he realize the immense pressure he faces.

Chen Shi's eight clones infiltrated the magistrate's mansion in Dacang County, killing their way through and taking down the enemy leader as easily as taking candy from a baby.

The disciples sent by the Three Pure Realms, the Celestial Court, and the Western Heaven were all carefully selected experts. Among Golden Immortals, they might not be considered the best, but they were certainly outstanding. However, even these experts suffered more defeats than victories against Chen Shi's avatars and incarnations, often being killed within a few exchanges!

Only by facing an existence like him who controls destiny can one be certain of victory against these clones and incarnations.

He used the power of calamity to empower himself, easily breaking through the magical techniques of these clones and incarnations.

However, when facing Chen Shi's true form, he felt as if he was being overwhelmed by the other party.

This situation is absolutely unique!

He had never felt this way when facing other young immortals.

Even when facing a Taiyi Golden Immortal, one rarely feels this way.

Only when facing those lofty and unapproachable Great Immortals, or Great Demons in their complete forms, did he experience this feeling of being unable to breathe.

To have his Dao heart crushed by the opponent's imposing aura was a disgrace to him.

He was extremely confident in his Taoist magic, but now a thought arose in his mind: perhaps his Taoist magic might not be able to defeat his opponent!

"You want to see me?"

As Chen Shi's voice rang out, Huangfu Jun's vision blurred, and strange phenomena suddenly arose, as if he were in a dark sea, where countless demon kings who controlled the Great Dao of the Dark Sea were hidden in the darkness, asking questions.

Huangfu Jun gathered his breath, forcibly freeing himself from the oppressive force of Chen Shi's voice. Without answering his question, he spoke first: "Heavenly King Chen..."

His voice was extremely hoarse, sounding harsh and unpleasant to my ears. I was startled and realized that I had been too tense in front of Chen Shi, which had caused my throat to dry and made me unable to speak.

Huangfu Jun raised his cultivation to its peak, freeing himself from Chen Shi's oppression. His gaze fell on Chen Shi's nine filthy bodies, and he said in a deep voice, "These gentlemen are all handsome and talented. Could they be incarnations of Chen Tianwang? They are somewhat similar to the Free and Easy Dharma of the Western Paradise. I did not expect that Chen Tianwang, like Li Tianwang, also had a connection with the Western Paradise."

.

Chen Shi asked doubtfully, "Does the Western Paradise have a method similar to mine?"

Huangfu Jun said solemnly, “In the Western Paradise, there are ancient Buddhas who cultivate the Dharma of Other-Transformation and Freedom. They do not need to reincarnate. Their thoughts enter the bodies of mortals and form 108,000 incarnations. These mortals have their own joys and sorrows, love and hate, marriages and children, and their own lives.”

"Throughout their lives, they will believe themselves to be complete individuals with independent selves. Only in the instant after death, when their thoughts return to the ancient Buddha, will they realize that they were merely a manifestation of the ancient Buddha's thought. The ancient Buddha used their lives to complete his own enlightenment and thus achieve a breakthrough. This method of manifestation is stronger and more subtle than your clones! King Chen, you probably haven't received the true teachings."

Chen Shi's expression darkened.

His method is indeed different from the other methods of self-transformation.

His method is to create avatars outside his body, which evolved from the Immortal Art of Immortality. His nine avatars are all immortal beings transformed from the impurities he expelled from his body when he was a Golden Immortal, which were then imbued with the Immortal Art of Immortality.

He feared that these undead creatures would harm the world, so he refined them into incarnations.

After witnessing the close relationship between Chen Yindu and Xiao Wu of Creation in the underground Green Palace, Chen Shi also tried to attribute the negative human nature that affected his judgment to these nine incarnations, which is why the defiled body has names such as Greed, Lust, Robbery, and Rat.

The defiled body is both an independent individual and a part of him; he has vivid memories of the defiled body's experiences, and he is equivalent to a collection of many Chen Shi's. This is indeed somewhat similar to his own Dharma of Transformation.

However, the method of self-transformation mentioned by Huangfu Jun is fundamentally different from his method of defiled body.

"All love and affection are impermanent and difficult to last. Having seen through the impermanence of love and affection, one resorts to such despicable means to occupy a mortal's life, just to elevate one's own spiritual cultivation."

Chen Shi, his voice filled with murderous intent, said coldly, "This ancient Buddha has fallen into demonic ways; his methods are unacceptable, and he should be killed!"

Huangfu Jun shook his head and said, "Your words are biased. Other-transformation is a heretical path. The Western Paradise subdued the Other-transformed world of the Dark Sea, and the Six Desires Demons submitted to the Western Paradise and became celestial beings. The Western Paradise was able to study the Way of Other-transformation and has already achieved some success. There are even ancient Buddhas who control a world with their own thoughts, and the billions of beings in the world are all possessed by them, multiplying and experiencing reincarnation in this world. This kind of method is a billion times better than your incarnation!"

"These heretical and evil paths are unacceptable. They must be exterminated!"

Chen Shi declared resolutely, "Sooner or later, I will shatter the Western Paradise, drag out these old Buddhas and ancient Buddhas, and execute them in public on the execution platform!"

Huangfu Jun glanced at Chen Shi's killing intent and wondered if he had accidentally killed the will to kill the intention and instead killed the kindness.

Chen Shi's murderous intent was not as pure as his true nature!

Compared to Chen Shi, Chen Shi's act of killing himself seems much kinder.

However, Chen Shi's menacing words neutralized his attempt to demoralize Chen Shi.

Huangfu Jun's heart sank. It seemed that it wouldn't be so easy to make Chen Shi reveal a flaw in his Daoist mind.

He had been overwhelmed by Chen Shi's imposing manner, making it difficult for him to breathe. Therefore, he tried to start from Chen Shi's external body and use the Buddhist method of transformation to belittle Chen Shi's external body method, thereby dispelling Chen Shi's sharpness and domineering attitude.

However, they were talking past each other. Chen Shi was stuck in a rut, thinking that the ancient Buddhas of the Western Paradise had extremely evil powers. He had no sense of frustration and only wanted to kill these ancient Buddhas.

Huangfu Jun felt as if he had punched cotton, and was greatly frustrated.

Chen Shi opened his chest, his killing intent intensifying, and said coldly, "The ancient Buddha descended upon mortals with overwhelming power, manipulating their destinies and ruining their lives. I should kill him. Fellow Daoist Huangfu, your master harbored evil intentions, spread evil teachings, and reaped lives to help himself pass through tribulations. He should also be killed! Your master passed on to you the Scripture of Passing Through a Thousand Tribulations to Forever Attain Freedom. Is it the true scripture or does it contain hidden secrets, making you pass through tribulations in his place?"

Huangfu Jun's heart skipped a beat, and he thought to himself, "This is bad!" He tried desperately to suppress the wavering of his Dao heart at this moment, but he couldn't suppress it no matter what he did!
He was terrified and retreated rapidly, trying to avoid Chen Shi's fatal blow.

However, to his surprise, Chen Shi remained standing there and did not attack at all.

He was already hundreds of miles away.

Huangfu Jun blushed, feeling both ashamed and angry.

Lost.

He had already suffered a crushing defeat in the battle of the heart.

Chen Shi stood still, waiting quietly.

Huangfu Jun suppressed the urge to flee and forced himself to walk toward Chen Shi.

He did indeed suspect in his heart that the Eternal Path of Freedom Sutra that his master had taught him was not the true transmission, but rather a technique to harvest his power.

His master was extremely mysterious, but treated him very well. When he taught him this technique, he told him that this was the first time his master had passed on a true technique to an outsider. Moreover, his master treated him very well, and would take him to observe every major battle.

For example, when the Three Pure Realms asked their master to kill the Antarctic Longevity Emperor, they took him along to watch the battle.

However, even though his master treated him so well, he could not dispel the suspicion and doubt in his heart.

He had heard legends about his master and had also heard his master mention the past. He knew far more inside information than Chen Shi did.

Back then, Master created two cultivation techniques, both of which are the Eternal Proof of Freedom Sutra. Both can be cultivated to extremely high levels, and even breaking through to become a Great Luo Golden Immortal is not out of the question!
However, one of his cultivation techniques has a loophole that allows his master to transfer his own calamity to the cultivator at any time, making the other person suffer the calamity in his place!
After creating these two techniques, Master spread the flawed methods throughout the Earthly Immortal Realm and the countless worlds under its jurisdiction!

Although this immortal technique has flaws, it is still the most powerful immortal technique in the world, and it was once very popular and spread everywhere!
While his master certainly played a role in this, so too did people's greed. They felt that immortal techniques were rare, and without cultivating them, it would be difficult to attain immortality. Moreover, those who could see the flaws were few and far between. When the calamity erupted, those who had cultivated for thousands of tribulations and attained eternal freedom became scapegoats for their master.

The simultaneous death of hundreds of millions of cultivators and immortals is far more terrifying than the ancient Buddha whose thoughts transformed into the entire world.

Despite his deep reverence for his master, Huangfu Jun's Dao heart was still shaken by Chen Shi's revelation of the matter. Fearing that Chen Shi would take advantage of his wavering Dao heart, he immediately fled.

Unexpectedly, Chen Shi didn't make a move at all.

Huangfu Jun suppressed his humiliation and walked over, stopping in the same spot.

He struggled internally along the way, repeatedly wanting to escape, but he restrained himself and returned to his original position.

Once the final step was completed, his mind had returned to normal, as calm as water in a well. Even if the wind howled outside, the water in the well would only ripple slightly before returning to calm.

Chen Shi's expression was gentle, even somewhat kind, as he said, "Fellow Daoist Huangfu, there's no need to be so tense. I don't need to suppress your Dao heart with words to make you reveal a flaw when I kill you. That would be too troublesome."

Huangfu Jun remained calm and said leisurely, "The Eternal Proof of Freedom Sutra passed down by my master is flawless. I will not be swayed by your words."

"Well?"

Chen Shi raised his eyebrows. "If there were no flaws, how could he have married his calamity to you?"

Huangfu Jun's Dao Heart was frantically warning him, but he couldn't help but think about the flaws in his own cultivation technique, and in an instant, his Dao Heart was riddled with holes.

Chen Shi looked at him, his eyes showing approval: "This time, fellow Daoist did not escape."

Huangfu Jun was covered in cold sweat. He felt like a naughty child in front of Chen Shi, being repeatedly tricked by the other party.

Chen Shi laughed and said, "Fellow Daoist, I am not a bloodthirsty person. You can leave the Three Pure Ones Demon Refining Cauldron behind and then you can leave."

Without hesitation, Huangfu Jun raised his hand and saw one after another of the Three Pure Ones Demon Refining Cauldrons fly out, each landing with a thud.

Huangfu Jun put down the Three Pure Ones Demon-Refining Cauldrons and said in a deep voice, "May I leave now?"

Chen Shi's face was gloomy. He cut off his own thoughts of turning against someone and killing them, leaving them to his own fate, and waved his hand.

Huangfu Jun turned and left.

Chen Shi's face turned ashen. He abandoned his thoughts of murder and arson, leaving them to the choice between death and fire.

At this moment, Huangfu Jun breathed a sigh of relief and returned, looking at Chen Shi with a smile, and said leisurely, "I thought Chen Tianwang was unfathomably cunning, but it turns out he's nothing special. I've finally found the flaw in your Dao heart!"

He released the pent-up frustration in his heart and laughed, "If I were to leave now, I'm afraid both of us would feel some regret in our hearts. King Chen, you also want to see the Thousand Tribulations and Eternal Proof of Freedom that my master taught me, right? To be honest, ever since you appeared, I have repeatedly suffered setbacks in my heart. I also want to see your true abilities."

Chen Shi was overjoyed and laughed heartily, "Fellow Daoist Huangfu is a kind man who understands my intentions. Fellow Daoist, I will not deceive you. As long as you survive, you are welcome to visit my Golden Turtle Island. I will treat you with courtesy and help you find the loophole in the Eternal Proof of Freedom Sutra!"

"it is good!"

Huangfu Jun suddenly attacked, his cultivation level instantly rising to its peak, and he swept over like a fleeting shadow!

As he activated his cultivation technique, the Thousand Tribulations Dao Field unfolded. Before he even made a move, Chen Shi sensed that his tribulation was about to begin and the tribulation was about to erupt!
The calamity came so quickly that he had almost no chance to prepare. Even though he was knowledgeable about the secrets of heaven, even though he had cultivated the Dark Sea Dao Method, and even though he had already refined eleven Heavenly Dao Treasures in his Dao Realm, he could not stop this calamity!
The next moment, his tribulation erupted, and a vast calamity arose from within his body, causing his Great Dao to boil and burn!

Without hesitation, Chen Shi activated the Sutra of Enduring a Thousand Tribulations and Proving Eternal Freedom that he had comprehended, transferring his own tribulations to his own destiny-changing body!
The transferor, Chen Shi, was engulfed in Daoist fire and instantly burned to ashes, dying in his place.

After Chen Shi died, he felt a great weight lifted off his shoulders. With a wave of his hand, the Dark Sea Heavenly Dao erupted, his five fingers resembling the Five Prisons Heavenly Pillars from the Thirty-Three Heavens Dao Treasure, meeting Huangfu Jun's divine power head-on.

The Five Prisons Punishing Heaven Hand.

The Five Prisons Punishing Heaven Pillar is formed by the five prisons in its hand, punishing the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth. It is a Heavenly Dao treasure that guards the Golden Emperor's Heavenly Palace.

Now, Chen Shi transforms the Five Prisons Xingtian with a single hand, conquering the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, and seems poised to recreate the terrifying scene of this Heavenly Dao treasure in his palm!
His Five Prisons Punishing Heaven Hand is even more domineering than the Heavenly Dao Treasure Five Prisons Punishing Heaven Pillar. It is based on the Yuanfu and contains the Dark Overseas Dao, which brings out the terror of Xingtian locking the earth and burning everything to the fullest extent!

Huangfu Jun's Thousand Tribulations Dojo was crushed by a bang. When he looked up, he saw that Chen Shi's five fingers were like five giant pillars, invading his Dojo. His fingers were covered with obscure and incomprehensible Dao patterns, and the Dark Sea Dao was wrapped around his fingertips, like countless black tentacles, tearing his Dojo apart!

He originally intended to kill Chen Shi the moment he was enveloped by the calamity, but unexpectedly Chen Shi used the Eternal Proof of Freedom Sutra to break the Eternal Proof of Freedom Sutra. Upon seeing Chen Shi's move, he knew that he absolutely could not withstand it.

He immediately flew backward and disappeared into the void, his Dao Realm appearing behind him, where he hid!

"boom!"

His Dao Realm's sky shattered, and five giant pillars wrapped around the Dark Ocean Dao, crushing the sky and pressing down!
Thick, dark tendrils pierced through the sky and earth of his Dao realm, corroding everything in their path!
Even his extraordinary Dao phenomenon was corrupted in a short time when it encountered this heretical path!
His dojo was in ruins. The sky collapsed, the sun and moon lost their light, stars fell, the Dao Sea evaporated, and the sea dried up and rocks crumbled. Under the oppression of the Five Prisons' Heavenly Punishment Hand, it presented a scene of the end times.

Huangfu Jun fled frantically, speeding like lightning, his heart filled with inexplicable fear. With a wave of his hand, he used various supernatural powers to attack the five giant pillars that were crushing down behind him!
The five giant pillars were struck by his supernatural power, but they remained motionless as they hurtled forward, crushing everything in their path!
Huangfu Jun fled the Dao Realm at lightning speed and arrived in the sky above the Southern Continent.

His Dao Realm is located in Jambudvipa (Southern Continent). He has refined the Dao Realm and hidden it in the void, not easily revealing it to others.

Behind him, the sky shattered as Chen Shi's Five Prisons Heaven-Slaying Hand shattered his Dao Realm and pressed down on him!
Huangfu Jun activated the Eternal Proof of Freedom Sutra, and a wisp of wind beneath his feet, called the Calamity Wave, was said to allow him to traverse a thousand calamities without being tainted by karma. He trod on the Calamity Wave, crossed a thousand mountains, traversed the vast sky, and vanished into the void.

"Boom boom boom!"

Tremors continued to emanate from behind, and Chen Shi's Five Prisons Punishing Heaven Hand followed closely behind, traversing thousands of mountains and rivers in a flash.

The commotion caused by both sides was earth-shattering, alarming countless gods and immortals guarding the Southern Continent, who all looked on in astonishment and uncertainty.

A deity floated in the air, his primordial spirit towering ten thousand feet high, and roared: "Who are you, daring to cause such a disturbance in my Southern Jambudvipa?"

He was startled to see Huangfu Jun flash by with a whoosh, and then saw the dark hand crushing everything as it came hurtling towards him. He quickly withdrew his primordial spirit and fled in panic.

Huangfu Jun vanished into the starry sky, rushing along the Milky Way, pushing his speed to the limit. He had never imagined that he could be so fast, even leaping over huge stars!
In his haste to look back, he saw the stars behind him extinguishing one after another, and the giant hand came from behind him, getting closer and closer, but its power was much weaker than before.

He unleashed all the magical treasures he possessed to meet the Five Prisons Heavenly Punishment Hand. These treasures shattered one after another, but the power of the Five Prisons Heavenly Punishment Hand was also greatly reduced.

The Five Prisons Heavenly Hands came before him. Huangfu Jun shouted and poured all his strength into his palms to meet the attack.

His primordial spirit emerged from behind him, majestic and imposing, and he thrust out both palms to meet the Five Prisons Punishing Heaven Hand.

"boom!"

As their supernatural powers clashed, Huangfu Jun was sent flying forward through the void, only to be knocked back countless miles before being crushed and crashing into a star. He passed through the thick atmosphere and landed with a thud!

His black hair fluttered wildly, he screamed, his features almost distorted, his fear of death turned into a desire for life, he raised his potential to its peak, and was crushed by the Five Prisons Heaven-Punishing Hand, sliding backward for dozens of miles, finally exhausting the power of the Five Prisons Heaven-Punishing Hand.

The Five Prisons Xingtian Hands dispersed.

Huangfu Jun fell backward, blood flowing from his seven orifices, but he was unusually happy.

"I survived! I survived!"

The Immortal Realm, the Imperial Throne Province, Dacang County.

Chen Shi frowned slightly, paused, and an altar appeared. A white banner rose opposite him, and Huangfu Jun's name appeared on the banner.

Chen Shi ascended the altar, performed the ritual, and bowed deeply, saying, "Fellow Daoist Huangfu, please accept my bow!"
