Chapter 752 The Celestial Venerable Makes a Move
"Dare to lay a hand on Emperor Gouchen?!"

Chen Shi was both shocked and furious. He was so focused on guarding against attacks that he didn't notice that Monk Pan's hand seal had already landed on Emperor Gouchen's head.

“The Emperor’s mental state is clearly not right. If he gets angry because of Monk Pan’s palm strike and kills us all, then it will be an undeserved disaster.”

A nameless rage surged within him, and to prevent these four from implicating him further, he ruthlessly killed them.

Xin Xianjun is a descendant of the Yuqing lineage. He cultivates the Hunyuan Yiqi Xiantian Gong, a technique passed down by Qingxu Daode Tianzun. This technique is the top-level technique of the Yuqing Chan Sect. It starts with cultivating innate Qi, which is far superior to others.

Xin Xianjun further refined the Primordial Qi to the level of Taiyi Golden Immortal, and two Dao flowers appeared on his head. These were the three flowers on his head, but because he had not broken through to the sixth level of Taiyi Dao Realm, he had not refined the third Dao flower.

He was also the one with the highest cultivation level and the fastest attack speed among the four.

His Primordial Chaos Dao Field erupted, incredibly thick, enveloping almost the entire Pingtian Tower. With a wave of his hand, the boundless Primordial Chaos Qi behind him rose into the air, transforming into a giant hand that blotted out the sky and enveloped Chen Shi.

Dao Haiyin!
As this supernatural power struck, Chen Shi's Primordial Chaos Innate Dao Field also erupted.

The two cultivators' Daoist temples are similar, both following the Hunyuan path. Chen Shi's is the Hunyuan Wuji Daoist Temple, while Xin Xianjun's is the Hunyuan Yiqi Daoist Temple. Although the names are different, they both cultivate the innate Qi, only their achievements differ.

Xin Xianjun has refined the Primordial Qi, and the Daoist temple is filled with pure and refined Daoist energy, reaching a state of consummate skill in refining the innate Dao.

Chen Shi's innate Qi is the Limitless Dao Qi. All the great Daos, whether immortal Dao, divine Dao, or dark overseas Dao, are mixed and formless within the Limitless Dao Qi, a chaotic flow of myriad Daos.

In terms of purity, Xin Xianjun's innate Qi is naturally more refined, but in terms of the depth and breadth of his cultivation, Xin Xianjun is far inferior.

As Chen Shi's Daoist practice erupted, his supernatural powers also erupted. The final move of the Great Wilderness Daoist Collection, "Where Does Heaven and Earth Return to Its Direction?", arrived before Xin Xianjun, arriving after the attack.

"His supernatural powers are incredibly fast!"

Xin Xianjun was startled. The celestial star map of the Earthly Immortal Realm appeared before his eyes. The Milky Way was winding around it, and the constellations were brilliant. However, the celestial stars shrank rapidly, and even more complex constellations and star rivers emerged. The entire star map of the Earthly Immortal Realm only occupied a small part of this star river!
"What kind of magical power is this?"

Xin Xianjun activated the Dao Sea Seal to meet the attack head-on. The Dao Sea surged, creating thousands of waves, and met the magnificent star map.

Although he made the first move, Chen Shi was faster at activating his supernatural powers.

He had never witnessed the Great Wilderness Dao Collection of the Immortal Emperor Supreme, nor had he ever witnessed the move "Heaven and Earth Revolve, Where Does It Go?"

Even if a Celestial Emperor were to arrive, upon witnessing Chen Shi's "Heaven and Earth Reversal," he would likely be filled with a sense of bewilderment, wondering where to turn. This is because Chen Shi's execution of "Heaven and Earth Reversal" has transcended his own limitations.

His "Heaven and Earth Reversal" technique was developed from the Lesser Heavenly Tribulation Array. The Lesser Heavenly Tribulation Array is a tribulation array formed by the gathering of star power from the Primordial Star Domain. It draws the opponent into the tribulation array and gathers the celestial power of the stars in the Immortal Realm to obliterate the opponent.

The "Heaven and Earth Return to the Heart" is a gathering of the stellar power of the Great Zhou Heavenly Stars in the Earthly Immortal Realm, absorbing the fortune of heaven and earth into one's own body, and gathering the long-cherished wishes of all living beings. Therefore, it expresses the sentiment that heaven and earth have returned to the heart of me, and where will I go next.

Chen Shi's Heaven and Earth Reversal incorporates all the star power of the Earthly Immortal Realm and the Dark Sea; the Great Heavenly Cycle is only a part of his supernatural power.

The two primordial Daoist sites collided with each other, producing a magnificent sound. Immortal Xin's Dao Sea Seal burst forth with power, and the Daoist sound was melodious and lingering, just like the sea of ​​the Great Dao bursting forth with towering waves, presenting the magnificence and splendor of the immortal path.

However, at the moment of encountering the return of heaven and earth, the Dao Sea boiled and evaporated, and the Dao power rose up in all directions. In the air, the immortal Dao patterns twisted and disintegrated, and were transformed into Yuan Fu, which merged into Chen Shi's return of heaven and earth!

The two supernatural powers clashed. Chen Shi's supernatural power possessed both the magnificence of the celestial power of the Earth Immortal Realm and the unpredictability of the power of the Dark Sea Star, making it unpredictable and ever-changing. In the boundless and primordial Dao field, it took on various forms and became one.

"boom!"

The two exchanged blows, their palms colliding solidly. Xin Xianjun's jade crown, which bound her hair, exploded with a crack, her black hair billowing and shooting into the sky, her features contorted, and blood trickling from the corners of her eyes.

Blood was flowing from his nostrils and ears, but his eyes were wide open.

Even though Xin Xianjun's cultivation level far surpassed Chen Shi's, he was injured due to the clash of their supernatural powers.

The two Dao flowers on his head trembled slightly. One of the Dao flowers trembled gently, and a petal floated out, transforming into a torrent of Dao power that flowed throughout his body, catching all the complex power of Chen Shi's attack that turned heaven and earth around.

The three flowers atop the head of a Taiyi Golden Immortal are extraordinary; they are three Dao flowers refined from the three treasures of essence, energy, and spirit, said to be impervious to all magic and untouched by countless calamities. Of course, this is just a claim.

However, his flower was indeed extraordinary; it absorbed the residual force of Chen Shi's attack, yet only damaged one petal.

At the same time, Master Mei and Fairy Zhong attacked from the left and right respectively.

The two were slightly less powerful than Immortal Xin. True Person Mei came from the Upper Clarity Realm and cultivated the Daoist arts of the Yun Zhongzi lineage, called the Blessing and Fortune-Mending Heaven Mysterious Art, which resulted in a single Daoist flower on her head. Fairy Zhong came from the Supreme Clarity Realm and cultivated the Daoist arts of the Xuandu Grand Master lineage, called the Little Jade Capital Eight Treasures Dao-Proving Technique, which resulted in two Daoist flowers.

The second Dao flower of Fairy Zhong is still immature, it should have only been blooming for a short time and is still in the nurturing stage, not as mature as Fairy Xin's.

As the two attacked, Master Mei's Heaven-Mending Profound Skill erupted. This skill was created by Yun Zhongzi after observing the Three Pure Ones refining the Thirty-Three Heavens Dao Treasures. Feeling that the Thirty-Three Heavens Dao Treasures did not fully encompass the Heavenly Dao, he had the idea of ​​mending the deficiencies of Heaven and Earth and created this skill, intending to use his own merits to make up for the incompleteness of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.

Although Master Mei had not reached the level of attaining the Great Luo realm through cultivating this skill, he had still honed his abilities. He attacked from behind Chen Shi, and as the Daoist fields collided, he raised his hand and unleashed the Heavenly Divine Fire Pillar technique to suppress Chen Shi!
He conjured wind and thunder with his five fingers, and the dojo was engulfed in flames. As he raised his palm, pillars of fire rose from the ground, enveloping Chen Shi.

With a heavy clench of his five fingers, the eight giant pillars came together, and the heavenly dragons within the pillars spewed out divine fire, the fire of the Heavenly Dao, which burned and refined everything.

Yun Zhongzi mended the heavens because he felt there was a flaw in the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, and he used an unorthodox method to mend the heavens. Master Mei received his true teachings, and this Heaven-Piercing Divine Fire Pillar contained not only the true fire of the Heavenly Dao, but also the true fire of the unorthodox method, making it extremely powerful, capable of refining even immortals and gods to death!

However, before the power of the Heavenly Fire Pillar could be unleashed, Chen Shi had already defeated Xin Xianjun. He flipped over and struck with his seal, and a clear, shimmering blue stele descended from the sky, crashing down and standing between the eight fire pillars.

This green stele was created by Chen Shi through studying the green stele in Fuluo Village and integrating the Taoist methods of Lingbao Daoist to comprehend a unique suppression technique.

The Green Stele was erected by the Lingbao Daoist to suppress the heretics of the Dao Ruins, and it contains the ultimate techniques of the Shangqing Lingbao.

Chen Shi's move, "Green Stele Suppresses the World," employed Shangqing Daoist techniques that were even more refined and sophisticated than those of Mei Zhenren, who hailed from the Shangqing Realm. As the green stele fell, the heavenly fire of the Divine Fire Pillar was instantly extinguished, leaving the pillar hollow. The forty-nine hidden heavenly dragons were suppressed and rendered immobile.

Master Mei groaned, unable to close his five fingers, which were bent backward and about to break. Suddenly, the Dao flower on his head bloomed, blocking the power of Chen Shi's move.

However, because he blocked the attack of Qingbei Zhenshi, a petal of the Dao flower on his head withered and fell off.

Just as he was about to withdraw his hand, Chen Shi's palm reached out and snapped his right hand's five fingers backward with a few cracking sounds.

Master Mei was heartbroken and retreated. As he retreated, Chen Shi unleashed Xuanhuang sword energy with his other hand, clashing with Fairy Zhong's supernatural power.

He used the move "Primordial Chaos Split" to counter Fairy Zhong's Eight Treasures Forest of Merit. His sword energy crisscrossed among the thousands of trees and shrubs, and the outcome was decided in an instant.

Zhong Xianzi's Merit Forest was pierced by the sword energy, and her Eight Treasures were destroyed, forcing her to retreat.

The monk Pan, who had been sent flying in the distance, struggled to his feet. Before he could even make a move, a divine power flew over, blasting the great monk high into the air and crashing him into the distance. Monk Pan landed heavily, tumbling and rolling, a petal falling from the flower on his head. It was Chen Shi who, amidst his busy battle with the three, hadn't forgotten to deliver a finishing blow to the great monk, expressing the monk's dissatisfaction with the attack on Emperor Gouchen.

Monk Pan's face turned ashen, and he coughed up a mouthful of golden blood, his breath coming in short gasps.

He had previously attacked the inconspicuous young man behind Chen Shi, but the young man's aura shook him, sending him flying. Not only was he sent flying, but one of his Dao flowers also withered.

Of the four, he and Xin Xianjun possessed the most profound cultivation, having cultivated two of their three flowers, and with considerable skill. Unexpectedly, they were so shocked by Chen Shi's entourage that one of their Dao flowers withered away, barely managing to save their lives.

"Who exactly is that kid?"

He was both shocked and furious. Just as he was about to get up, he saw Chen Shi moving incredibly fast in the distance, as if he had grown many arms and legs, and attacking Xin Xianjun, Mei Zhenren, and Zhong Xianzi at the same time.

Before Monk Pan could even get up, he saw Chen Shi's shoulder twitch, and with a series of thuds, ten punches were unleashed in this direction. The moment the punches were unleashed, the fist peaks transformed into ten great suns that roared towards him!

Before Monk Pan could even defend himself, he was struck by a series of blows, his body shuddered violently, and he was blasted away.

Another petal fluttered from the top of his head, neutralizing the residual power of Chen Shi's attack and saving his life.

Chen Shi's Taoist magic contains hidden heretical elements. His "Ten Days of Confrontation" move is quite different from the "Ten Days of Confrontation" move of the Immortal Emperor Supreme lineage. Even if one can withstand this divine power, being invaded by heretical elements to the physical body and primordial spirit will lead to certain death.

Fortunately, Monk Pan cultivated the Dao Flower on his head, which allowed him to save his life.

As Monk Pan crashed down, before he could even get up, Chen Shi's supernatural powers arrived again, and with a series of hissing sounds, three more bloody holes appeared on the monk's body.

Above his head, another petal withered and fell.

On the other side, Immortal Xin, Immortal Mei, and Fairy Zhong also encountered danger one after another. Chen Shi's Taoist magic was unpredictable. Sometimes his Yuanfu transformed into a long sword, collapsing the pillars of heaven and destroying the earth's lair. Sometimes his Qingbei suppressed and subdued the heretics. Sometimes his magic transformed into the Five Prisons Punishing Heaven Pillar, causing astonishing destruction!
With a clasp of his hands, he conjured the Tortoise-Bearing Cold Well Bottle. The well was shrouded in darkness, the Heavenly Dao pitch black and devoid of light, swallowing and shattering everything.

Or perhaps behind him was a Jade Balance Gate, originally a treasure for guiding celestial immortals, but behind the gate appeared a surging and ferocious dark sea, drawing the three Taiyi Golden Immortals who were trying to escape his divine power towards him.

"You've offended me, and you think you can just leave?"

With a wave of his hand, Chen Shi sent down a Myriad Things Azure Tree. This tree was one of the Thirty-Three Heavens Dao Treasures, originally a Heavenly Dao Treasure belonging to the Azure Emperor of the Eastern Heaven, but it was later destroyed. Chen Shi mended the heavens and comprehended the divine power of the Myriad Things Azure Tree. When he used it, one tree fell, and ten thousand Daos were born.

The Jade Balance Gate, the Five Prisons Punishing Heaven Hand, and the Myriad Things Green Splendor were the results of Chen Shi and Xiao Duan's seclusion this time. They were supernatural powers that Chen Shi comprehended after Yuan Fu achieved extraordinary success.

As the precious tree swooped down, Fairy Zhong, who had just blocked the attack, was shaken and her blood and qi surged. She then saw Chen Shi unleash another Heavenly Net Smash, sending her flying. In the distance, Monk Pan's body trembled, and a bloody hole appeared.

"How could the speed of supernatural powers be so fast if the Yuanfu replaced the immortal Dao patterns?"

The three were both shocked and furious. Chen Shi's supernatural speed was even faster, and he attacked all three of them at the same time, causing them to suffer repeated injuries. It was impossible for them to escape.

Even more incredible is that Chen Shi's supernatural powers are astonishing. Every move is a great supernatural power. He can unleash his full power with ease, seemingly without any preparation time.

Like the splitting of primordial chaos, it is the ultimate sword technique in the Primordial Sword Scripture. Others find it difficult to even comprehend the true essence of this move, yet he can execute it with ease.

The ability to "return to one's true nature" is a closely guarded secret of the Great Wilderness Daoist Collection, yet he could manipulate it with ease.

Every time the three of them received one of his supernatural attacks, they had to use Dao flowers to disperse the remaining power to avoid being damaged. But how many Dao flowers did they have on their heads to offset such losses?
In the distance, Monk Pan was struck by Chen Shi's Blood-Transforming Divine Blade again. He was hit by the blade's light but lay motionless on the ground, his fate unknown.

Seeing this, Xin Xianjun felt a chill in his heart and hurriedly shouted, "Junior Sister Zhong, True Person Mei, you two hold him off for now, I'll go and get the sect's magic weapon!"

Fairy Zhong and Master Mei mustered their strength and tried their best to defend against Chen Shi's attack. However, Chen Shi suddenly turned left and right, as if he had become two people and was attacking them at the same time. Their combined strength was broken in an instant, and they were both knocked away by Chen Shi!
The two Taiyi Golden Immortals were in mid-air when they were shocked to see that when Chen Shi knocked them away, another divine power flew out and hit the monk Pan who was lying motionless on the ground in the distance. They were horrified!
Monk Pan was hit; his body twitched twice, then he remained motionless.

Fairy Zhong and True Man Mei leaped over Immortal Lord Xin. Below, Immortal Lord Xin's white robes were stained with bloodstains resembling plum blossoms. His hair was disheveled, and he was wielding a sword and performing a spell. He stopped with a thud, and the altar was covered with array patterns, already connected to a precious treasure in the Upper Clarity Realm.

Chen Shi swiftly charged forward, unleashing his supernatural powers. A scroll of the Heavenly Book of Blazing Fire appeared in the air, burning with heavenly fire, from which it surged forth. The Heavenly Book of Blazing Fire was also a heavenly treasure, which he had transformed into a supernatural power, only now it had been fused with the heavenly fire of the Dark Overseas Path, making this move unpredictable and treacherous.

Just then, he suddenly sensed an extremely dangerous aura coming from him, his heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly retreated!

Before him, the sky collapsed, and the void emerged, connecting to the Jade Purity Heaven's Purple Sun Cave. A magical artifact enshrined in the Purple Sun Palace suddenly floated up from the altar.

This treasure is a feather fan, the Five Fires and Seven Birds Fan. During the war against the Shang dynasty, this fan burned to death the future Plague Emperor Lü Yue. At that time, Lü Yue was merely a Golden Immortal, his cultivation and strength were not high, far inferior to the current Plague Emperor.

However, after 360,000 years of tempering and refinement, as well as the incense offerings from disciples of the Jade Purity Realm, the Five Fires and Seven Birds Fan is now far more powerful than before.

The fan rose and grew larger and larger, like a giant hand that blotted out the sky, except it had seven fingers, and with a whoosh, it swung out.

The sky in front of Chen Shi cracked and crumbled in pieces, with fire flowing through it and turning it red as if it were about to melt. The Heavenly Book of Li Huo was burned to ashes with a whoosh, and the Heavenly Fire and Heretical Fire in the book surged back, accompanied by the power of the Five Fires and Seven Birds Fan, and attacked him!

"boom!"

The boundless fire engulfed him. At the same time, a giant well overturned above Chen Shi's head, and the Demon Blood Tree descended from the sky, standing in front of him. Flames roared and surged past on both sides of the tree.

Chen Shi felt the space-time around him constantly exploding and annihilating in the flames, and terrifying gravitational forces shook him and Baoshu, trying to pull them into destruction.

However, the Demon Blood Tree had absorbed so many demon bones that it had long been refined to the point of being close to a supreme treasure. Under the power of this fan, it remained unmoved and steadily protected Chen Shi.

This scene caused Immortal Xin, Fairy Zhong, and True Man Mei to widen their eyes in disbelief.

The Five Fires and Seven Birds Fan, a treasure of Ziyang Cave in Yuqing Realm that survived the war against Shang, was actually blocked by a magic weapon crafted by Chen Shi!
Fairy Zhong and True Man Mei immediately suppressed their injuries and landed behind Immortal Xin, saying in unison, "Senior Brother Xin, let me help you!"

The three of them gathered their magical power and together they raised the Five Fires and Seven Birds Fan, and with a whoosh, they fanned it downwards!
The power of the Five Fires and Seven Birds Fan surged forth, even stronger than before, yet it still could not shake the Demon Blood Tree when it reached it.

The three were filled with despair when they saw Chen Shi standing under the tree, activating the precious tree. The tree's countless branches danced in the howling wind and attacked them instead.

At this moment, a soft exclamation came from the Purple Sun Immortal Palace in the heavens. A pure white hand appeared outside the cracked sky, holding the Five Fires and Seven Birds Fan, and gently waved it in Chen Shi's direction.

Emperor Gouchen, who had been watching the battle with a frown and lost in his own thoughts, raised his eyebrows upon seeing this scene, stepped to the tree, and stood in front of Chen Shi.

Behind him, in the void, a giant golden pillar rolled in with the power of wind and thunder, piercing through the boundless heavenly fire. Divine Dao patterns swirled around the golden pillar, rotating endlessly. Accompanied by the grand chanting of sacrificial rites, it collided violently with the Five Fires and Seven Birds Fan!
The power of the Five Fires and Seven Birds Fan was completely dissipated. The hand grasped the fan handle and gently turned it, thus dissipating the divine power.

“Gou Chen, the incense of 360,000 years has decayed you. You still have an uneasy heart.”

A cold, desolate voice echoed from within the Purple Sun Cave, "I will speak to your master about this matter, and he will come to confront you."
