Chapter 1484

Divine thunder punishment descended as the Phoenix was undergoing nirvana; the Heart-Protecting Dragon Scale blocked the first few strikes, and Chang Li's condition looked much better.

Under Jin Chen's protection, the Heavenly Dao no longer dared to act recklessly; everything should have been developing toward a better direction.

Even so, Jin Chen still dared not relax his vigilance, standing guard in the heavens awaiting the Phoenix's successful nirvana.

But it was precisely this vigilance that gave the Heavenly Dao, which had already absorbed the world protagonist's soul, an opportunity to take advantage.

The Heavenly Dao has no physical form; it can hide its power in any tangible or intangible thing, such as heavenly tribulation.

The form of the ninth heavenly thunderbolt appeared unchanged, yet as it struck down, the Phoenix within the light pillar felt the oppression and killing intent emanating from this world's rules.

By the time Jin Chen noticed, it was already too late; the heavenly thunderbolt smashed into the light pillar, shaking heaven and earth, agitating the Demon Mountain, and blasting a pit a hundred zhang deep into the plaza ground.

「Phoenix!! 」

The Phoenix cried out in sorrow, shedding tears of blood; the Heart-Protecting Dragon Scale shattered in an instant, and the Heavenly Dao's power pressed upon the soul without limit, as mighty as if it sought to devour the sun and moon.

Amid the fearful, shocked gazes of the myriad demons, Jin Chen tore apart the Heavenly Dao's light pillar with his bare hands, his body unable to withstand such immense primal power and bleeding.

「Phoenix... 」

The nirvana was interrupted midway, and Chang Li still had to endure the agonizing shock of the Heavenly Dao's power, causing him extreme pain.

He was held in Jin Chen's embrace, able to clearly hear his dragon anxiously calling, yet he had no strength to respond.

Chang Li strained to move his fingertips, grabbed Jin Chen's fingers and lightly held them; his consciousness vanished in the next instant, and he fainted completely in Jin Chen's arms.

【Host……】Ling Gun Gun hesitated and said: 【Don't worry, the Main God's soul fragments are still present; you've only temporarily fallen into a coma.】

【The Heavenly Dao has absorbed the world protagonist's soul and also possesses my inner elixir's spiritual power, thus losing its qualification to be the Heavenly Dao; I have already consulted the Boss.】

Jin Chen didn't know whether Ling Gun Gun's words had sunk in, and he carefully used primal spiritual power to conceal the comatose Phoenix within a protective shield.

"Jin Chen! You… you need to calm down." Leopard Grandpa, for the first time seeing this Jin Dragon that had taken shape, felt it was utterly unfamiliar.

The secrets hidden on the Jin Dragon were even more numerous than those of Chang Li.

Jin Chen glanced at him, and Leopard Grandpa fell silent at once, feeling that he had beheld the most terrifying thing in the world, his soul trembling within seconds.

Such terrifying power… how could it not be able to stand against the Heavenly Dao?

Leopard Grandpa blocked the few elders who still wanted to advise Jin Chen, slowly shook his head, and said, "Let him be."

When Jin Chen exhausted all his primal power, the Heavenly Dao had already made preparations, and all former fears vanished like smoke.

In the struggle to slay the Heavenly Dao, the extraordinarily strange power of the Heavenly Dao actually fought Jin Chen to a standstill.

Jin Chen heard the Heavenly Dao's voice tinged with smugness.

"At least within this world's rules, you cannot completely kill me; I am supreme!"

Even if one is personally chosen by the Main God as a task‑bearer, what of it!

His icy, deep‑pool‑like blue eyes suddenly shifted, locking onto that void‑like giant eye, and from these words he discerned the operating rules of this high‑level world.

Jin Chen coldly curled his lip, no longer fixing his gaze on the Heavenly Dao itself, but instead lifted his eyes to look at the oppressively dark sky.

Since one cannot kill the Heavenly Dao within the rules.

Then tear open this world.

【Ling Gun Gun.】

【Understood!】

Ling Gun Gun, whose spiritual sense is linked with Jin Chen's, needed no words, transforming into the original form of a pixiu, a gigantic beast, it surged out from the consciousness space, directly approaching the Heavenly Dao's giant eye that was seizing part of the inner elixir's Spiritual Power.

「Roar——」

The beast's roar echoed through the clouds; the Heavenly Dao had a momentary stagnation, a rejection and fear of the Quick Transmigration Bureau system's instinct, and moreover it was the ancient divine beast pixiu of the origin world.

However, soon the Heavenly Dao, knowing it had nothing to fear, still met the attack, and the Heavenly Dao's power continually pressed down.

The sun and moon lost their light, lightning like pillars, the myriad monsters wailed, the grand formation sealing the world and the Monster Mountain could barely hold, and chaos spread across the human realm.

The monsters of Monster Mountain fell into a long darkness, only able to rely on their Monster Power, now so weak it could be ignored, barely able to see the battle on the Nine Heavens.

Yellow Immortal Granny had already knelt on the ground, her cloudy eyes fixed on the clouds above, murmuring softly: "Such a powerful divine beast……"

Being able to witness this in her lifetime is already a no-regret for her after hundreds of years.

In the endless darkness, only within Jin Chen's Spiritual Power protective shield did a faint glow emanate, as if it were the safest existence in this world.

The phoenix slumbers here; unless Jin Chen's soul perishes, even the Heavenly Dao cannot harm it in the slightest.

Jin Chen glanced back, then proceeded toward the peak of Monster Mountain.

In the original plot, the two divine beast eggs of dragon and phoenix both descended from the crimson moon's rift; Jin Chen suspected that the rift at the peak of Monster Mountain was the edge of this world.

Indeed, the fact was exactly as he thought.

Amidst flashing lightning and thunder, the dark clouds hung heavy.

Jin Chen slowly raised his hand, mobilizing the vast Spiritual Power of the spiritual sea within his origin soul body, transforming it into visible silver light; a huge sword shadow slowly rose behind him, as if it could pierce the heavens.

In the flashing silver light, the sword shadow fell like a creator god's great axe, directly cleaving toward the rift.

At the same time, the Heavenly Dao, which was battling the pixiu, sensed that the world's rift continually expanded, and it was instantly terrified.

「Scram! 」

Ling Gun Gun bit through the barrier that Jin Chen had torn open once again; the continually expanding rift brought about the collapse of rules, and the Heavenly Dao could no longer control the power of the rules.

「No……no…no!!! I am the supreme Heavenly Dao! 」

「Pah! You're just a greedy fool! 」 Ling Gun Gun cursed angrily: 「You still dare to covet the Main God's soul; among the myriad Heavenly Daos of the three thousand small worlds, you're the stupidest! 」

The Heavenly Dao was finally torn apart by Jin Chen himself; at the moment of its downfall, the entire world fell into endless silence, all things stagnated, and time and flowing water ceased to flow.

Within the protective shield, a golden light appeared on Changli's brow, then vanished after a few seconds.

Bai Ze appeared at that moment.

「Boss! 」 Ling Gun Gun, still worried that slaying the Heavenly Dao would render the world inoperable, suddenly came back to life.

Bai Ze first glanced at the protective shield, then patted Ling Gun Gun's head, and said to Jin Chen: 「The master is fine; no need to worry. 」

Jin Chen nodded coldly.

Before his wife wakes up, he won't be in a good mood!

Bai Ze handed over the new Heavenly Dao in this world, and light and time reappeared.

Everything returned to normal.

"The master still needs to accept heavenly punishment to continue nirvana; this is the world's rule, and once a rule is established it cannot be changed."

Even if he is the Spiritual Terminal System that sets the rules, it won't work.

Jin Chen: "Rules and backdoors don't conflict."

Absolutely cannot let his wife get hurt again!

Bai Ze: "……That makes sense."
