Chapter 244: If Heaven Has Feelings, Heaven Also Grows Old

Near Bei'an City.

Many powerful figures from the noble families gathered together; even the Wang Family and the Ye Family, who previously held grudges and fought to the death, were now united and standing in battle formation, working together to deal with the old man before them.

Lie Dangkong walked slowly toward them, his Dharma Aspect emerging behind him.

Under the radiance of the Dharma Aspect, the Heaven and Earth Principles trembled and the Order Divine Chain swayed, as if the Great Sun were patrolling, illuminating all things.

The expressions of the various noble family experts were unsightly.

They had previously been quite skeptical about Lie Dangkong successfully walking the Great Sun Path; after all, there had been no such precedent since ancient times. Could he, Lie Dangkong, really be stronger than the countless geniuses of the past and present?

Now, their doubts were dispelled.

With this kind of might and this kind of Dharma Aspect, he had undoubtedly succeeded.

Shock surged in their hearts, stirring up monstrous waves.

The Great Sun illuminating Heaven and Earth is the most Yang object in the world; nothing beneath Heaven and Earth can have a status higher than the Great Sun, and there is even a rumor that it was only after the Great Sun existed that this Heaven and Earth came to be.

Now that Lie Dangkong has walked the Great Sun Path, his might is such.

In the future, he will likely reach the pinnacle as a Supreme of Heaven and Earth; he must be eliminated!

With such a future and such might, and having grievances with their noble families, such a person must be erased by their families no matter the cost, otherwise, the future troubles would be endless!

Lie Dangkong spoke up, "Why is it just a bunch of juniors?"

"Your noble families want to deal with this old man, yet instead of sending those old monsters with Dharma Aspects, you sent you juniors; is it possible you intend to offer an apology to this old man?" Lie Dangkong smiled lightly.

Yet, it was just this one understated laugh.

It caused the internal organs of everyone present to tremble, and their heart rates to soar violently; had they not reacted in time, their hearts would likely have already burst from the beating.

"Lie Dangkong, do you know your crime?"

A Second Heaven Peak expert from the Ye Family said coldly.

Even though he knew that everyone on his side combined would not be enough to be killed in one move by Lie Dangkong, his tone remained just as tough.

"Where did such an arrogant junior come from? Hmm? This aura..."

"No wonder, so it is the Ye Family; no wonder the aura is so Yin and annoying. I remember there was a loser named Ye Yin back then; what, did he not come?"

Seeing that this Ye Family Second Heaven expert did not answer, Lie Dangkong shook his head again. "Forget it, why waste words with you lot? Looking at the blood aura on your bodies, you likely have many lives on your hands; you might as well die."

He squeezed his large hand.

The Heaven and Earth Principles trembled, and the Order Divine Chain operated.

He intended to strangle everyone present to death.

The expressions of the noble family members changed abruptly, because they sensed that the surrounding Heaven and Earth were squeezing and strangling them, yet the Heaven and Earth Origin Qi had not changed at all.

Is this what is called the Heaven and Earth Principles?

Is this the great power of the Dharma Aspect Realm?

The next moment, four pillars of light reaching the sky suddenly rose from the four directions, and a terrifying aura climbed out; the light pillars connected to each other to form a membrane of light, sealing the four directions and trapping Lie Dangkong here.

"Lie Dangkong, why bother attacking those juniors?"

"We are here."

Indifferent voices resounded through the surrounding Heaven and Earth.

Four figures appeared here, confronting Lie Dangkong.

Meanwhile, in the seclusion chamber of the Demon Suppression Division in Bei'an City.

Xuan Dao sat cross-legged, eyes slightly closed, his spirit guarding the mysterious aperture, his hands hanging in the center, his aura steaming, Original Qi circulating around his body, breathing in and out as he performed the Great Heavenly Cycle Breathing. His aura was climbing step by step as he began to attempt to break through to the Dharma Aspect Realm.

But the next moment, his brows locked tight, and his facial muscles twitched.

"Where is this?"

Xuan Dao looked blankly at the World before his eyes.

Gray and vast, endlessly dark, a Void without Heaven or Earth.

Suddenly, the Void abruptly gave off light; points of light lit up, some white, some purple, some red, some blue... these points of light dotted the Void like a sky full of stars.

These points of light continued to evolve and combine, actually forming strands of Heaven and Earth Principles and the Order Divine Chain. The Void also underwent changes again, and the embryonic form of Heaven and Earth appeared.

It was clearly the Heaven and Earth Principles and the Order Divine Chain, intertwining and operating.

Consequently, it constructed a Heaven and Earth.

Seeing this scene, Xuan Dao was thoughtful and enlightened; so this is the mystery of the Dharma Aspect Realm... his own realm climbed rapidly, breaking through Second Heaven Peak and beginning to draw near to the Dharma Aspect Realm.

But the next moment, the surroundings changed again.

Whether it was Heaven and Earth, the laws, or the Order Divine Chain.

At this moment, they all became blurry and indistinct; everything seemed to be shrouded in a gray mist, as if he had returned to the previous dark Void, but it was even more profound than the previous Void.

Xuan Dao was again enlightened; this is the True Reality of the World.

Only, what is this True Reality?

Why would it be more profound than the vast Void?

No Heaven, no Earth, no Reason, no Dao?

Such a doubt sprouted in his mind.

Everything around him changed further following his doubt; shadows appeared around him, the shadows were twisted and frantic, and babbling sounds rang out, the babbling furious and whispering.

Xuan Dao was bewildered; what is this again?

But the next moment, he saw himself.

A self formed by shadows, by babbling, by flesh and blood, twisted and frantic. He finally understood; so this is the True Reality, this is himself! He opened his arms to embrace the self opposite him.

The self opposite him also walked toward him, opening his arms.

Finally, the two embraced and merged.

Just as the fusion was about to be completed.

Inside the Profound Dao body, a tiny point of light suddenly erupted with radiance, illuminating the entire body, then passing through the skin to shine upon the surrounding grey Void, causing the grey mist to retreat.

Under the radiance, that self of Profound Dao gradually dissolved.

Profound Dao's eyes suddenly regained clarity.

What exactly happened just now?

His expression was somewhat dazed again.

Just now, he seemed to have embraced something, yet also seemed to have embraced nothing; and wasn't breaking through to the Dharma Aspect supposed to be about witnessing the True Reality of the World? Why did he not see where this True Reality was?

Profound Dao looked at the surrounding vast Void, filled with confusion.

Immediately, he noticed that he himself was glowing.

He took that glowing point of light from within his body and continued to examine it, his face showing contemplation; this seemed to be...

It seemed to be the thing Brother Li gave him, right?

At this moment, on Li Heng's side.

He looked at the Aberrant Will calmly.

When this Aberrant Will had originally handed that dagger to Li Heng, Li Heng knew that using this dagger to deal with this Aberrant Will would be of no use at all.

Could you drown water with water? It doesn't exist.

But why did Li Heng hold the dagger and stab it into the chest of that Aberrant Will, and why did he not let go for a long time, and even say so much to the Aberrant Will?

Naturally, it was to activate a method.

He transmitted that method into the dagger, then used the dagger as a medium to invade the body of this Aberrant Will, and then it spread throughout its body, occupying the entire form.

The Aberrant Will gave him this opportunity and was willing to say so much to him, so why not take advantage of it? This kind of method, which requires time to activate, also saves more Source Power than a method activated instantly.

Source Power should be saved whenever possible, to prepare for the unexpected.

He had already consumed nine thousand points of Source Power just to activate this method.

Although, in the minds of ordinary people, there is no method that can deal with Heaven. But for someone like Li Heng, who previously lived in an information explosion, after careful thought, there were still quite a few methods.

Weapons that slay gods, rule-based weapons that adjust the laws of the universe, supreme treasures that create the world... everything, and even some unimaginable, metaphysical concepts that carry the Dao.

These were all sufficient to deal with Heaven.

Some things could even deal with what is above Heaven; dealing with Heaven was merely using an anti-aircraft gun to hit a mosquito, making a mountain out of a molehill.

Of course, this was just imagination; imagination is beautiful and Infinite.

As someone living in Reality.

Li Heng still had to consider whether his Source Power was sufficient and whether the method he used was safe enough to prevent this Heaven from counterattacking. Therefore, he chose poison—Causal Poison, a poison for Heaven.

After all, he was holding a dagger just now.

Smearing poison on a dagger is very reasonable, isn't it? It fits the scene perfectly.

And the poison he chose was not something that produces chemical changes in the material sense, but a concept—a way to strike down the status of Heaven, making it transform from Heaven into a human, from a sage into a mortal.

This poison could perhaps be named "Human".

The Aberrant Will's expression changed suddenly.

He felt a strange thing appearing within his Transformation Body, growing larger and tighter, until it finally occupied him completely, making scenes of the mortal world's red dust flash before his eyes.

This is... his status was gradually being struck down!

Even though he had no emotions of a living being, at this moment he felt that he was in a terrible state, becoming further and further away from his former self that was supreme and looked down upon the birth and death of all things in Heaven and Earth; he was falling.

He even began to understand what joy is, what anger is, what sorrow is, what pleasure is—all the emotions of the human world, joy, anger, sorrow, and pleasure; he was gradually understanding them, unlike before when he was only simulating. This should have been a good thing, after all, his former self had also been trying his best to figure out what the emotions of living beings were.

Was it a change in matter, or a entanglement of the heart?

For this reason, he had previously tried to simulate and anthropomorphize, but still could not find the way. But now he had done it, he understood, yet the more he was like this, the more panicked he felt in his heart.

He hurriedly tried to let his will detach from this Transformation Body and return to the blood-colored eyes in the sky, to destroy this damned living being completely. No, why would I feel angry at this living being?

So, is this what the feeling of anger is like?

This Transformation Body is poisonous! He was even more panicked.

He had thought that it would be easy for him to detach from this Transformation Body, and he wanted to destroy this poisonous Transformation Body the moment he detached. But the next moment, he discovered that he could no longer detach.

This Transformation Body was like a black hole, possessing infinite suction.

No matter how hard he struggled, he could not break free even a little; instead, his will combined more and more tightly with this Transformation Body, as if this were his original body.

And his body in the sky, those blood-colored eyes, were actually rejecting the return of his will! He was stunned; could it be that just because his status was struck down, he was no longer a pure Heaven?

"No!"

He roared at the sky, staring directly at those blood-colored eyes, his voice resounding through the ruins of the Dongtian Fudi.

Li Heng smiled slightly.

This is Causal Poison; it cannot be solved by just changing bodies, not to mention that you, this Aberrant Will, cannot change it now anyway.

"If Heaven has feelings, Heaven also grows old." Li Heng chanted leisurely.

"Welcome to the human world."
