Chapter 272: I, Saint Tongtian, sever my own true spirit! Unless Hongjun, who seizes the Heavenly Dao

Above the extreme heavens.

This is the outermost layer of the Primordial World, where countless terrifying energy storms are hidden.

This is a place even more remote than the Heavenly Court.

Only Quasi-Saint powerhouses can stand here.

However, under normal circumstances, Quasi-Saints would not come here, because there are no living beings here, nor are there heavenly treasures.

Staying here is completely looking for trouble.

And Saint Tongtian chose this place this time because severing his Saint position here, even if it caused an astonishing commotion, would not cause too much damage to the living beings in the mortal world.

Otherwise, if it were in the secular world, Saint Tongtian breaking away from the Heavenly Dao would cause a drastic change in heaven and earth.

It would be enough to cause most of the secular lives in the mortal world to die or be injured.

The earth shattering, the sky tearing, entering the end of the world—that is also possible.

It is precisely because Saint Tongtian wanted to avoid this point that he chose above the extreme heavens.

Wanting to break away from the Heavenly Dao and sever his Saint position must also be done within the Primordial World.

Otherwise, you wouldn't be able to do it at all.

Entrusting the true spirit to the Heavenly Dao gave the Sage the ability to be immortal; then if you want to break away from the Heavenly Dao, you must let the true spirit return.

But the Sage's true spirit has already merged with the Heavenly Dao; will the Heavenly Dao release your true spirit willingly?

This is a completely impossible thing.

The Heavenly Dao is unlike living beings who have their own wisdom, but it has a certain instinct.

After all, releasing your true spirit has no benefits, and on the contrary, it even has disadvantages.

Because in that way, the Heavenly Dao needs to spend power to completely separate your true spirit there and then return it to you; this is completely a thankless task.

Therefore, if a Heavenly Dao Sage wants to break away from the Heavenly Dao, there is only one way.

Annihilate the true spirit that has merged with the Heavenly Dao; in this way, it is considered indirectly breaking away from the Heavenly Dao.

But it sounds simple; doing it is very difficult, not to mention that even if you annihilate those true spirits of yours, you will still encounter many things afterward.

You successfully break away from the Heavenly Dao.

The Heavenly Dao is furious and descends a tribulation to punish you.
