Chapter 866: Traceless Heart Elder of the Sect of the Heavenly Heart Beyond Heaven

Once a crack appears in the soul, it will be extremely terrifying.

The Hunyuan Bell's bombardment penetrates everywhere; soul undulations and attacks strike together—each vibration hits both soul and body in an all‑on assault. When a crack appears, it means his soul is no longer whole.

Once it collapses, it will collapse completely.

A thousand‑mile dike is destroyed by an ant hole—that's the principle.

"Demonic qi cycles, the demon soul revives."

Tian Xin Dao Ren activates his divine ability, letting boundless demonic qi enter the soul, attempting to restore the soul to wholeness.

This step is useless; Chen Chuyang has been waiting for a long time, and he has taken a liking to this demonic qi.

"Thud."

The Hunyuan Bell turned again, emitting a vibration; the soul stopped.

Tian Xin Dao Ren's soul froze for an instant, and so did the demonic qi; Chen Chuyang activated the Hunyuan Bell to devour that demonic qi, preventing it from repairing his soul—in just a few breaths the demonic qi was completely drawn away.

At the same time, the soul attack struck Tian Xin Dao Ren's soul; at the crack, it spread rapidly—in less than a few breaths the entire soul was covered in cracks, dense and frightening, like porcelain that, once broken, shatters completely.

If it weren't for the demonic qi holding it together, his soul would already have scattered; seeing this, Chen Chuyang said coldly, 'Don't bother with futile struggles—no matter what you become, soul or demon soul, to me they're all the same.'

"An ant is an ant; no matter how much it jumps, it cannot overturn heaven."

Chen Chuyang's words deeply shook Tian Xin Dao Ren's soul; he widened his eyes, staring at Chen Chuyang gradually appearing within the Hunyuan Bell, who stood in the air like a creator, controlling everything.

His life and death seemed to hinge on a single thought of Chen Chuyang; when the soul collapsed, the body followed.

It will collapse completely soon—only a breath keeps it aloft.

Tian Xin Dao Ren knew this man before him would not let him go, but he never expected Chen Chuyang to become so powerful; his schemes and plans came to nothing.

An opponent he could not match exceeded his expectations.

"Cough cough cough."

Tian Xin Dao Ren coughed up a mouthful of blood, his hateful gaze fixed on Chen Chuyang as he roared, 'How unfair heaven is—I have cultivated for a thousand years, yet in the end I am not even worth twenty years of a yellow‑haired brat like you.'

"If I had your talent and your luck, I would not have come to this point, nor would I be so miserable."

He was unwilling.

He clearly controlled this world, everything proceeded as he wished—why, in the end, did a Chen Chuyang appear?

Since this brat rose, he has opposed him repeatedly; any matter involving this brat will… encounter problems, and not minor ones.

"There are no 'ifs' in this world—trash is trash; no matter how many years you cultivate, if you can't, you can't, and even giving you the best talent yields the same result."

"You have betrayed this world, and in the end the world will cast you aside."

"And I am the one who will slay you."

Chen Chuyang raised his hand; lightning sparked from his fingertips, and then his whole finger turned the color of lightning.

Flickering lightning, explosive energy, terrifying lightning pressure.

The Way of the Heavenly Tribulation has swallowed countless tribulations; this time Chen Chuyang will release them.

Within his dantian, on that golden core, the seed of the Heavenly Tribulation Way sparkled, emitting boundless light.

"Pfft."

Tian Xin Dao Ren spat blood; everything he was was denied.

His unwillingness, in Chen Chuyang's eyes, is mere trash; he cannot accept it, nor can he… resist.

The lightning on that finger made him fearful and afraid; even the demonic qi he cultivated feared the thunder.

"The Way of the Heavenly Tribulation—you actually…"

Chen Chuyang raised his finger and said lightly, 'Heavenly Tribulation Lightning Finger.'

"Exterminate evil."

The finger descended, a slow motion that seemed anyone could dodge.

Yet Tian Xin Dao Ren could not avoid it, not moving at all—or rather, he could not move.

If he moved even slightly, his soul and body would collapse; the boundless pressure emanating from the Hunyuan Bell suppressed him, rendering him unable to move as he watched that finger fall, arriving before his eyes in the blink of an eye.

Lightning pierced his body, soul, and demonic qi, all together.

Then countless lightning bolts bombarded his body.

From inside to out, all at once.

The tribulation shattered everything; demonic qi dissipated the moment it touched the tribulation.

Even his dantian, that inner demon‑blackened golden core, was enveloped by lightning.

"Boom—"

The inner core shattered, the dantian was destroyed, and the demonic qi dissipated.

His body gradually collapsed.

The soul is the most miserable; already collapsed, it endured the tribulation and collapsed again.

Tian Xin Dao Ren watched helplessly as the tribulation devastated, unable to save or stop it.

"No!"

"I am so unwilling!"

"Junior sister, save me."

"Tianlian junior sister, save me."

This was his final cry, and also his last hope.

Tianlian Zhenren crossed his arms, coldly watching, with no intention to intervene.

Those eyes were full of killing intent.

Heishanyang glanced back, feeling greatly relieved; this woman was still very smart, she had seen the situation clearly, knew her own position, what she should do, could do, and could not do—she understood it all.

Tianlian Zhenren spoke icily: 'Senior brother, go on your way; in your next life, peacefully be a beast.'

No!

I can't die, I haven't...

Soul, collapsed.

Lightning, smashed the soul.

His body, however, did not collapse; instead, demonic energy kept emanating from within his body.

The incessant demonic energy seemed to have no limit.

A stream of black demonic energy emerged, clearly different from the other demonic energy.

This demonic energy gathered the other demonic energy, then spread throughout the body, gradually healing the body.

Witnessing this, Chen Chuyang did not stop it but instead curiously observed the Tian Xin Dao Ren before him.

No, what's before him is not the Tian Xin Dao Ren, but the Tian Xin Dao Ren's body, occupied by something unknown.

The Tian Xin Dao Ren is already dead; under the Heavenly Tribulation Lightning Finger, his soul was shattered, his body and Dao vanished.

Demonic energy rose, and a terrifying demonic might spread.

Unlike the Tian Xin Dao Ren's aura, this might is stronger, more terrifying, and those demonic energies are even more eerie.

Demonic energy repaired the body, and cultivation rose again.

The True Destiny Realm that the Tian Xin Dao Ren could not break through was easily broken through here.

True Destiny First Heaven

True Destiny Second Heaven

True Destiny Third Heaven

Still continuing to rise, as if there were no end.

He kept rising until reaching the True Destiny Fifth Heaven, then stopped.

Without enough demonic energy to break through, after breaking through several realms in succession, he opened his eyes.

Those jet-black eyes flashed a glint of light, restoring a normal person's gaze.
