Chapter 787

In the great hall, several names on the pale gold register shimmered with flowing divine radiance.

As Zhang Jian raised his hand, a vast and boundless divine power surged from deep within his palm into the Divine Concealment Register, and threads of invisible primordial luminous phenomena emerged from his brow.

This was not the power of the Primordial Jade Pearl.

Rather, it was the layered profound divine power descending from the convergence of the Three Thousand Divine Apertures of the Earth Emperor's true form and the Nine Great Heavenly Dao Jade Treasuries.

The Three Thousand Divine Apertures and the depths of the Nine Great Heavenly Dao Jade Treasuries each condensed special Great Dao runes, which merged into the depths of the Nine Revolutions Chaos Qing Lotus Transformation Great Law, forming an illusory Primordial Seal.

This is the secret of Pangu's true form, containing the supreme divine wonder of stepping into the Primordial.

This is also what Zhang Jian's previous Nine Revolutions inheritance lacked; on the Yao Chi Holy Realm, although he glimpsed part of Pangu's profound imprint through a fleeting glance, and later obtained the Three-Grade Creation Qing Lotus to complete part of the Nine Revolutions profound skill, the core depth—how to forge the Primordial status—remained untouched.

Now, in discussing the Dao with Shi Zu, exchanging part of the secret method, they ultimately filled the deficiency.

A thread of illusory Primordial light descended; even though it was merely illusory Primordial power, it immediately suppressed the karmic secret method within the Divine Concealment Register, as well as several other mysterious Dao pattern array ancestors. Seizing the opportunity, Zhang Jian's vast primordial spirit rotated, and threads of primordial spirit will delayed at each prohibition node, finally drawing out the stored divine energy mechanism within, along with the illusory fate.

Deep within his palm, a peculiar plum blossom-shaped immortal light seal had already appeared.

This was the divine energy mechanism left by the Hong Ling Immortal Maiden.

To other immortals and gods, this thread of divine energy mechanism was merely ordinary and insignificant.

But in Zhang Jian's eyes, it contained many mysteries, even allowing reverse inference of Hong Ling Immortal Maiden's true spirit imprint and fate trajectory.

Enough to follow the vine to find the melon, to locate Hong Ling Immortal Maiden's whereabouts.

Subsequently, the pale gold light of the Divine Concealment Register deep within Zhang Jian's palm gradually retracted.

Zhang Jian gazed at this scene, and Zhang Jian silently shook his head, saying.

"Still far too lacking!"

Although he had already comprehended part of the profound mystery of the Primordial status, it was at most merely a touch, and there was a clear difference between him and those supreme masters like Shi Zu who had condensed part of the Primordial status profound mystery.

Fortunately, he had found a path and a direction, which was far better than groping alone.

Shi Zu could evolve part of Pangu's status (Primordial status) profound mystery from twelve innate demon god ancestor seals; similarly, he could condense three thousand source god seals from the Three Thousand Divine Apertures, combined with the Nine Great Heavenly Dao God Seals condensed from the Nine Great Heavenly Dao Jade Treasuries, to form his own Primordial status.

Of course, as to how exactly to combine them, Zhang Jian had no concrete idea.

For now, he could only imitate Pangu's true form, using twelve unique power layers to simulate a thread of Primordial status profound mystery.

On one side of the great hall, Qing Lan Immortal Maiden watched nearby, her eyes showing some tremor.

The Divine Concealment Register was refined by the Divine Concealment Old Ancestor in his lifetime using the supreme secret method of the Divine Concealment Dao Transmission, containing his divine power and wisdom; now, however, it was cracked with a flick of the finger by this Earth Emperor God—indeed, it caused Qing Lan Immortal Maiden to feel a sense of unreality.

She still remembered how many fellow disciples spoke of the Dao Transmission Old Ancestor's secret methods and divine powers with pride.

All this seemed still before her eyes, yet now it had turned into mist and smoke, dissipated.

Qing Lan Immortal Maiden waited silently for the result.

The old acquaintances of the Divine Concealment Dao Transmission were few; she could only hope this Earth Emperor God could still find his master.

At this moment, deep within Zhang Jian's brow, a three-colored divine light appeared.

"Three Life Divine Stone, reverse fate!"

Looking closely, a three-colored divine stone appeared in his brow, divine light enveloping the plum blossom-shaped immortal light energy mechanism before him, instantly piercing through time, space, and fate.

Under the three-colored divine light, the plum blossom-shaped immortal light seal instantly changed, seemingly transforming into a flowing invisible river, energy mechanism flowing upward, faintly connecting with a mysterious energy mechanism deep within the fate river.

But in that instant, a vast divine power emerged from above the vast fate river, simultaneously obscuring Hong Ling Immortal Maiden's energy mechanism while surging upstream with mighty momentum.

The light of slaughter pierced through vast stretches of fate, transforming into divine sword and blade lights that severed heaven and earth, charging toward Zhang Jian.

The atmosphere of war was intense.

From these sword and blade divine lights, Zhang Jian seemed to see countless battles born in the void of the heavens over hundreds of millions of years, countless fierce weapons gathered and tempered within, including immeasurable calamity omens.

"Ignorant of life and death!"

Zhang Jian's face curled in a cold smile; at this moment, his figure seemed to continuously swell.

What swelled was not his true body, but his spirit and mind, as if transformed into a terrifying giant god seated upon the fate river, endless vast divine power encircling, as that giant god raised its head to roar, a terrifying formless ripple swept across the fate river, layer upon layer of sword and blade divine lights suddenly collapsing, vast divine power extending with that sweeping surge of transcendent divine power, fiercely charging forward.

Directly shattering countless war omens.

As if billions of heavens and earth collapsed, boundless sharpness forcibly erased.

In an unknown region between heaven and earth.

That was a vast dark abyss, within which immeasurable dark divine power gathered.

It seemed the power of the dark aspect of the Heavenly Talisman Realm all converged here.

Immeasurable black clouds, killing qi, and foul qi permeated.

Within, figures stood thickly; each figure seemed entwined with an evil energy mechanism that did not disperse between heaven and earth, or resentment, hatred, the seven emotions and six desires, even to the extent of warlike ferocity, greed, and chaos.

And at one position within, a figure stood upon a black shadow divine throne; his form was ordinary, yet his body emitted the terrifying divine power of the embodiment of all things' end and the heavenly darkness.

At this moment, he slowly raised his head; behind him, a terrifying, towering form faintly appeared.

Countless blood-colored divine lights intertwined, forming the image of a towering blood-armored divine person; at this moment, countless war omens completely faded, revealing the true core within—a ferociously abnormal killing god aspect.

In his hand appeared a blood-colored divine sword; both hands slightly floated, a layer of intense blood light coiled upon the blade, instantly transforming into a dark sword shadow piercing heaven and earth, chopping toward the fate river above.

The light of slaughter blossomed; at this moment, the fate river above seemed entwined with a layer of intense ominous blood shadow.

This scene drew the attention of many powerful beings from deep within the Heavenly Talisman Realm.

"Blood Shadow Heavenly Venerable!"

The gods glanced sideways, but in an instant, their faces showed shock.

Only seen, on the fate river above, that terrifying vast figure faced the blood-colored sword shadow, merely slightly extending one palm, as if covering the sky and sun, enveloping half of the fate river, fingertips pointing far away, and immediately that terrifying blood shadow sword light gradually condensed upon the fate river above.

Crack-crack!

In the next moment, as the fingertip lightly flicked, the entire terrifying blood shadow sword body suddenly collapsed.

Many terrifying powerful beings could feel that the slaughter great dao rules of the Heavenly Talisman Realm seemed to have countless cracks at this moment; vast divine power followed along this terrifying crack, until reaching the vast blood shadow before, a faint sound echoed.

"If not for your protection of her, saving me much trouble, your move now would be utterly hopeless!"

A cold voice emerged; a small cluster of divine light instantly illuminated this layer of surrounding hundredfold dark realms.

Under the divine light, figures appeared one after another, their faces filled with terror, unable to help raising their hands to cover their eyes, their gazes showing shock.

But in an instant, their true forms turned directly into ash.

Their evil spirit bodies could not withstand such terrifying divine light illumination; even a mere glance of residual light was enough to distort space-time, tearing apart their souls and primordial spirits.

After drifting slightly, it enveloped one of the mountain peaks, and the radiance suddenly swept up a figure, which vanished instantly into the vast, dark Talisman Realm.

"You..."

On the divine throne, the Blood Shadow Heavenly Venerable watched this scene, his body surrounded by blazing sword light nearly bursting forth, his eyes deep within flashing with crimson sword intent, but after a moment his expression changed, and he had no choice but to forcibly suppress himself.

He knew that he himself was fundamentally no match for that terrifying powerhouse.

If he continued to provoke, the other might not show mercy again.

His eyes were icy, his expression gradually turning cold, yet the blood-red long sword in his hand remained tightly gripped, his heart filled with anger and helplessness.

And his unwillingness fell upon the River of Fate; in the eyes of those domineous wills circling and on the outskirts of the River of Fate, those grand wills were all somewhat shaken.

The Talisman Realm has four great Dao Ancestors who control the heavenly order of the Talisman Realm, but besides them, the four great Dao Ancestors are not without opponents.

The Talisman Realm once gave birth to many extremely powerful ancient deities; some were defeated and fell, some departed far from the Talisman Realm, but some also successfully occupied a portion of the origin of heaven and earth.

The Dark Talisman Realm is their stronghold.

This is where hundreds of millions of evil spirits of the Talisman Realm are gathered; it was opened up by an ancient deity and gradually became an inseparable part of the Talisman Realm.

The Dark Talisman Realm also gave birth to the Three Kings of Evil Spirits.

Among them, the Blood Shadow Heavenly Venerable ranks second.

Besides him, there is also the Dark Talisman Heavenly Venerable and the Greedy Wolf Heavenly Venerable!

Although the Blood Shadow Heavenly Venerable's cultivation cannot compare to that of the four great Dao Ancestors, he is also not someone that ordinary Talisman Realm Dao Venerables can deal with.

But now he has suffered a great loss, and even dares not continue to make a move.

When did such a terrifying powerhouse arise in the Talisman Realm?

Moreover, the hidden figure concealed by the Blood Shadow Heavenly Venerable also caused many powerful wills to develop a hint of association and speculation.

……

In the depths of the Dark Talisman Realm, the vast evil spirit will surged, and a terrifying giant beast seemed to awaken along with the unrest of countless evil spirits in the Dark Talisman Realm.

It was a terrifying figure, coiling in the deepest part of the Dark Talisman Realm, its terrifying shadow like crouching upon all heavens and myriad worlds, its form vast and magnificent, the aura it emitted astonishing to the extreme, as if capable of swallowing and accepting the boundless heavenly and earthly great Dao principles.

Upon that illusory shadow appeared a demonic youthful figure.

As the embodiment of the Dark Talisman Realm's will, the instant he opened his eyes, he fully grasped all the circumstances.

"During my slumber, the Talisman Realm actually gave birth to such a supreme treasure?"

In the depths of his eyes, a trace of unhidden fervent greed surfaced; behind him, the nine-headed magic dragon giant beast seemed to open its nine heads, letting out a silent roar, and his figure instantly vanished into the depths of the Dark Talisman Heaven.

……

With the awakening of the nine-headed magic dragon illusion, several special figures in the depths of the Talisman Realm who were in harmony with the heavenly Dao will began to sense it.

In the depths of the Talisman Realm, boundless radiance filled a magnificent holy realm.

Innate pure yang divine light permeated, and a magnificent figure with a handsome visage, bearing the pure yang great sun dharma aspect, had a face that slightly fluctuated.

"The Dark Talisman has awakened again!"

The True Light Dao Ancestor slightly furrowed his brow.

The Dark Talisman Heavenly Venerable is no ordinary powerhouse; each time he awakens, he brings great calamity to the Talisman Realm; the previous Boundless Amount Calamity nearly caused the Talisman Realm to sink.

He is a major trouble!

However, for the True Light Dao Ancestor, this early awakening of the Dark Talisman Heavenly Venerable is also an opportunity.

The cultivation of the Dark Talisman Heavenly Venerable fluctuates with the overall situation of the Talisman Realm; if the heavenly Dao trend of the Talisman Realm declines, his power will continuously increase, while conversely, the power of us four will be restricted.

Therefore, the Dark Talisman Heavenly Venerable is difficult to slay; at most, he can only be defeated and sealed.

Now, the Boundless Amount Calamity has ended less than twenty derivation cycles ago, the heavenly Dao trend is at its peak, his early awakening means that the power of the Dark Talisman Heavenly Venerable is currently at its lowest ebb.

If we can find him, we can seal him, and even slay him.

But the premise is not to let him find that spiritual treasure born from the origin of all heavens and myriad worlds.

The True Light Dao Ancestor's eyes deep within flashed with a trace of contemplation, cold and detached.

The female immortal who was just seized across the River of Fate and taken away, he has already learned her origin.

She is the escaped fish from the lost Divine Hidden Dao Lineage.

These years, she has actually been hidden by the Blood Shadow Heavenly Venerable.

No wonder all the immortals across the heavens cannot find the whereabouts of this Hong Ling Immortal Maiden!

The True Light Dao Ancestor's expression remained unchanged, but deep in his Dao heart, there were some ripples.

Such a spiritual treasure born from the origin of all heavens and myriad worlds is not only something he cannot refuse; it seems that no one in the entire Talisman Realm, above and below, can refuse it.

But he did not act, because he knows someone will go to test the other party on his behalf!
