Chapter 152: line with translation of chapter title

This is a dark abyss that cannot be observed, perceived, or peered into.

It lies in a special dimension, both above the myriad worlds and below them, forming the two poles of the universe together with the Sea of Light, and is the source of darkness for the entire universe.

In the dim void, faintly, the sound of splashing water seemed to appear, and the entire dark abyss was like an endless expanse of black water.

Moreover, in this dark abyss where no other beings can enter except the Supreme God, there exist thirteen vast realms, which are the divine realms of the thirteen Dark Supreme Gods.

The dark abyss cuts off the connection between the Supreme God's domain and the plane where ordinary beings reside, blocks the gaze of all beings in the universe, guards the secrets of the thirteen Dark Supreme Gods, makes the Supreme God's might forever unfathomable, and lets the Supreme God eternally stand at the pinnacle of the universe, overlooking all myriad worlds.

At that moment, the previously calm dark abyss suddenly produced a mysterious fluctuation; a figure radiating endless majesty flickered faintly beneath the black water, revealing a pair of eyes as cold as gold to the extreme.

The aura of this figure is indescribable in words, as if it transcends everything, and its demeanor is colder than ice that has not melted for eons.

Within the golden eyes, countless images flowed, carrying the power of prophecy; in an instant they traversed boundless space and saw a figure in a dark robe that was both familiar and strange.

"Those who defy the gods shall be destroyed!"

A vast and cold voice rang out, followed by a white light filled with endless destructive power.

When the white light appeared, the myriad worlds of the universe trembled; the powerful beings of each world were shaken in mind and soul, instinctively turning their gaze toward that white light that seemed capable of destroying endless realms, and they could not help but tremble.

That is divine punishment!

The Supreme God has made a move!

This is the thought that involuntarily arises in the minds of all powerful beings who sense the aura of that white light.

Even if that white light is not aimed at them, merely seeing it gives them the illusion that they themselves are about to be destroyed outright.

At this moment, all powerful beings in the universe ceased their actions, their eyes filled only with the presence of that white light brimming with endless destructive intent, as if it were the sole existence in the cosmic void.

Within the Sea of Light, vast consciousnesses rose one after another, and pairs of golden eyes appeared, coldly and mercilessly gazing at that figure within the dark abyss.

The Primeval Plane.

From the depths of the Azure Abyss came four incredibly resonant roars, as if echoing in the hearts and souls of every Primeval Human.

The four roars varied—some deep and solemn, some clear and lofty, some distant and lingering, some fierce and violent—followed by four distinct streams of divine power that instantly swept through everyone's hearts and souls, giving them a warm, comforting sensation as if under some protection.

"Holy Beast!"

Sensing this aura, the hearts of all Primeval Humans involuntarily conjured the image of the Four Spirit Holy Beasts.

In the next moment, azure‑green, silver‑white, fiery red, and cyan‑blue hues emerged from the void, seemingly forming the phantom of the Four Spirit Holy Beasts, appearing directly above the Primeval Plane.

The power of the Four Spirits flowed, guided by some ancient, eternal law of the universe, directly forming an enormous Yin‑Yang Fish at its extreme, endlessly intertwining head to tail, like a colossal Yin‑Yang Taiji diagram, circulating within the Primeval Plane and forming a massive protective barrier.

In the void beneath the Yin‑Yang Fish, a figure holding a giant scythe silently gazed at the terrifying white light beyond the Primeval Plane and murmured, "The Second God‑Demon War has not yet come; why does the Supreme God act against the Primeval at this time? Could they already know Xuanyuan's situation?"

Speaking of this, a flicker of despair involuntarily appeared in his eyes, but in the next moment it vanished as he lowered his voice: "No, the Demon Realm shows no movement; it must be merely a probe, or some other change has occurred."

As his words fell, the figure's aura shifted slightly; a crimson light rose from his body, like a spreading Vermilion Bird, its aura closely resembling the earlier scarlet hue.

"There's no choice; I can't worry about anything else now—I can only awaken my true self and the White Tiger, among others."

Before his words even finished, his gaze narrowed slightly; he instinctively looked outward beyond the Primeval, then toward a deep part of the void within the Primeval Plane, uncertainly asking, "Founding Ancestor Fuxi?"

In the void.

Feng Yi was surrounded by an illusory river of fate, his whole being seeming to merge with the River of Fate, his expression calm as he gazed into the endless void.

His eyes likewise bore the power of fate, piercing through countless planes to see that pair of cold golden eyes, and also that cold, merciless, majestic figure.

"Master of Conspiracy, Xi Luo'er!"

The moment he saw that figure, Feng Yi's mind involuntarily conjured that name.

At the same time, a sigh involuntarily rose in his heart:

It is no wonder that one innately aligned with the Great Dao's principles, the Supreme God who wields the power of prophecy, is so sensitive to the fluctuations of fate!

However, though his heart was filled with emotion, Feng Yi's expression did not change much.

Unless the opponent dares to risk total annihilation and lets the Supreme God's true body step out of the dark abyss, Feng Yi now does not truly fear them.

Even after merging with this realm's supreme cultivation of Fuxi, his realm remains far inferior to that of the Supreme God, but though his realm lags, his combat power can be compensated for with divine weapons.

Feng Yi possesses the divine artifacts Heaven‑Reaching Death Bridge and Heavenly Stele, whose essence surpasses even the Stone King's Weapon; even if he cannot yet unleash their full power, using them for self‑defense is no problem.

At the same time, beholding the Yin‑Yang Taiji diagram formed from the power of the Four Spirit Holy Beasts rising above the Primeval Plane, and sensing within it some ancient, eternal law, Feng Yi's spiritual awareness trembled violently, as if he faintly felt the future path of his own Great Dao.

"Four Great Holy Beasts. Four Spirits Four Symbols Balance Law."

Eight Trigrams, Four Symbols, Two Polarities, Supreme Ultimate.

Countless insights welled up in his heart, and Feng Yi's eyes suddenly burst forth with an unprecedented brilliant light.

Meanwhile, within his Sea of Wheels, four stalks of Immortal Divine Medicine seemed to sense his thought fluctuations, their spiritual vibrations continually emanating and harmonizing with his mind and spirit, causing his aura to shift constantly.

After a long while, after temporarily suppressing the thought in his heart, Feng Yi's inner aura shifted, and directly beneath him appeared a stone arch bridge brimming with the sense of ages and vicissitudes.

Though the stone arch bridge appears small, it gives an impression of endless length, as if it connects past and future.

Upon the stone arch bridge stood several Heavenly Steles, like signposts pointing to the future, yet also resembling towering tombstones burying the Great Dao of each ultimate powerhouse.

At this moment, Feng Yi sat cross‑legged upon the stone arch bridge, his aura perfectly merging with it, as if he stood upon the Sea of Bitterness, bearing a lofty, eternal aura that transcends myriad kalpas.

In an instant, all traces of his fate vanished within this universe; even Xi Luo'er, who wields the power of prophecy, completely lost any sense of him.

At the same time, gazing at the white light brimming with endless destructive intent, Feng Yi's mysterious cultivation spontaneously activated, gathering the three systems of power within his body and merging them entirely into the Heaven‑Reaching Death Bridge beneath him, after which he pointed a finger forward.

Hum—

A resonant hum that shook spacetime rang out; in the cosmic void, above the myriad worlds, a phantom of a Heavenly Stele bearing endless Dao resonance and boundless divine light suddenly appeared.

This Heavenly Stele phantom seemed taller than the entire universe, like a heavenly pillar supporting the cosmos, emanating endless sealing power as it pressed down directly upon that white light.

Boom—

An indescribable collision sound rang out; the myriad worlds of the universe all trembled slightly, and the whole void collapsed into nothingness.

At this moment, heaven and earth lost their color, the universe fell dark—except for the thirteen Light Supreme Gods dwelling in the Sea of Light and the thirteen Dark Supreme Gods hidden beneath the Dark Abyss, all powerful beings lost sight of the collision site.

After an unknown span of time, the aftershocks faded and the cosmic void returned to normal; what entered the eyes of all powerful beings was that Heavenly Stele phantom with endless Dao resonance.

Yet the white light of divine punishment sent down by the Supreme God vanished, as if it had been suppressed and erased by the power of that Heavenly Stele phantom.

However, the Heavenly Stele's phantom also became unusually dim at this moment, gradually dissipating in the somewhat dazed gazes of all the powerhouses, as if it had never appeared.

At this moment, the entire universe fell silent; whether it was heaven, the demon realm, great planes, or certain special planes hiding mysterious powerhouses, all the powerhouses who witnessed this scene through the void seemed to lose the ability to speak.

At this moment, they had only one thought in their minds:

The divine punishment sent down by the main god has been erased!

It was not a block; they didn't even show their face—just a phantom of a heavenly stele directly suppressed the divine punishment sent down by the main god!

"Who exactly is the owner of this heavenly stele?"

"What kind of divine object is that heavenly stele? Merely revealing its phantom actually suppressed the main god's divine punishment!"

"Could it be that another being has appeared in the universe, like the progenitor of the blood clan, capable of opposing the main god—a reverse god?"

One thought after another arose in the minds of many powerhouses, giving rise to a strong curiosity about this mysterious blasphemer.

Hum

At that moment, an inexplicable surge arose, and suddenly a powerful aura that made all living beings tremble rose within the cosmic void.

In the astonished gazes of all the powerhouses, a massive black shadow emanating a terrifying aura emerged from the dark abyss.

"The main god actually stepped out of the main god's domain?"

"How is that possible?"

Wave after wave of divine thoughts rippled through the universe, and the eyes of many powerhouses showed disbelief.

But the next moment, they felt something was off; although the aura of that massive black shadow was terrifying, it lacked the feeling of being unstoppable.

"Wrong, this is not the main god's true body, but an avatar of the dark main god!"

So it's an avatar, no wonder.

For the main god, as long as their true body does not leave their own divine domain, they remain constantly in harmony with the Great Dao, able to freely mobilize the countless rules' power beneath the law, their divine power endless, making them fundamentally unbeatable.

However, once their true body leaves their own divine domain, although they remain terrifyingly strong, they gain the possibility of being defeated, even slain.

For example, in the first god‑demon war, the four supreme beings of antiquity combined the spiritual power of the four holy beasts, forming the Four Symbols Grand Array, borrowing a thread of the balance law's power, and thus sealed the true bodies of the two light‑and‑dark main gods of salvation and war within it, cutting off their connection to the ancient law, eventually exhausting their divine power and slaying both main gods.

This is also why, after the first god‑demon war, the ancient human race can still occupy the ancient plane even without any main god present, maintaining a degree of independence that makes the gods and demons wary.

Therefore, unless compelled by unavoidable circumstances, the main god generally will not let their true body step out of their own divine domain.

For the main god, their true body is in harmony with the Great Dao, allowing them to freely mobilize countless rules' power and easily create countless avatars to wage war across myriad worlds in their stead.

The endless struggle for faith among the planes between the light and dark main gods over hundreds of millions of years is merely a conflict of their avatars, with their true bodies rarely clashing directly.

Countless thoughts turned in the minds of many powerhouses, yet gazing at that immensely terrifying massive black shadow, a hint of doubt inevitably arose:

"Why is this dark main god's avatar so powerful?"

After all, a main god's avatar is not the true body and is usually not overly strong; although this black shadow does not evoke the feeling of invincibility that the main god does, it is terrifying to the extreme.

Hum

But just as many powerhouses were about to speak, a faint inexplicable fluctuation flowed through heaven and earth, causing everyone's hearts to feel a momentary dazedness.

The next moment, a phantom of a stone arch bridge steeped in the vicissitudes of ages suddenly appeared above the universe, as if descending from another illusory dimension, landing directly atop the dark main god's avatar and pressing down to suppress it.

Faintly upon the stone arch bridge hovered a hazy shadow, seemingly formed from countless divination symbols, carrying an illusory sense of indeterminate fate, making it impossible to discern clearly.

Boom

A violent roar erupted, and all who witnessed this felt their hearts sink, as if an ancient divine mountain weighed upon their chests.

In an instant, before the astonished eyes of all, the main god's avatar was crushed straight into powder, leaving nothing behind.

The entire universe fell into silence; everyone stared blankly at the scene.

Too arrogant!

This was the thought that subconsciously rose in everyone's mind.

In the face of the dark main god, they crushed his avatar without hesitation, completely disregarding the main god.

In this universe where the main god is supreme, this scene utterly overturned the worldviews of the many powerhouses who witnessed it.

"Impudent!"

A grand yet cold voice rang out, followed by a vast overwhelming pressure that surpassed everything, causing all beings in the universe to feel, from the depths of their hearts, a hint of awe and submission.

This is the aura of the main god's true body!

The next moment, an immeasurably huge hand reached out from the dark abyss, as if to cover all the myriad worlds of the entire universe.

Bang

In the horrified gazes of all the powerhouses, that hand came down directly upon the ancient stone arch bridge's phantom, grinding it to endless spiritual light.

However, after doing all this, the hand did not continue attacking but instead withdrew back into the dark abyss.

At the same time, a pair of indifferent, merciless golden eyes appeared above the dark abyss, as if piercing through spacetime to meet a pair of pale golden eyes.

The entire cosmic void exuded a suppressive aura, making everyone feel their hearts sink.

In a special space.

Feng Yi sat cross-legged upon the Heaven‑Dead Bridge, his aura lofty and illusory, his expression calm as he met the gaze of the owner of those golden eyes, the chairman of the Conspiracy, Luo Er.

After an unknown amount of time, the golden eyes in the dark abyss vanished, and the chairman of the Conspiracy, Luo Er, neither chose to act again nor allowed his own main god's true body to step out of the main god's domain within the dark abyss.

Seeing this, Feng Yi's expression did not change much; nothing of this had been beyond his expectations.

Although the main god of this realm is powerful, having been born innately in accordance with the Great Dao, it can to some extent be considered a manifestation of the Great Dao—possessing only the most fundamental rationality and lacking the seven emotions and six desires.

For them, their own survival comes first; they fundamentally have no emotion of anger.

Thus, the more mysterious Feng Yi appeared, the less Luo Er could see through him, and consequently Luo Er dared not readily step out of the dark abyss.

Of course, under these circumstances Luo Er would certainly value him more highly, placing his threat at the forefront.

When Luo Er next makes a move, it might be a killing blow rather than something so simple.

However, given how this realm's main god perceives time, Luo Er's next action could be tens, or even hundreds of millions of years, away.

For Feng Yi as he is now, what he lacks most is time; once Luo Er prepares fully and acts again, Feng Yi might then be able to confront him head‑on, or even suppress the main god.

After all, Feng Yi still possesses two cultivation systems that differ from this realm's time‑consuming practice.

Pfft!

His thoughts swirled, after a long while Feng Yi withdrew his gaze, using the Heaven-Reaching Death Bridge to suppress his own heavenly secret fate, then he spat out a mouthful of blood.

The Main God's power is indeed formidable, even among the Supreme Ancestral Gods of the Longevity Realm, it is probably comparable to those Supreme Ancestral Gods who have come very far.

Even with the Heaven-Reaching Death Bridge, this supreme treasure, Feng Yi today feels he still cannot truly contend with the Main God.

Of course, only when one is in the Divine Kingdom within the Dark Abyss and one's body is in harmony with the Great Dao's laws does the Main God become so terrifying.

Once one steps out of the Divine Kingdom within the Dark Abyss, their strength instantly drops by half a level.

From this point of view, the Main God of this realm is far inferior to the Supreme Ancestral God whose great power wholly belongs to himself.

Therefore, Feng Yi is not worried; his cultivation in the Longevity Realm system is only at the Half-Ancestor level, and his cultivation in the system of embodying the seed is only at the Quasi-Emperor level.

When he becomes a true Ancestral God and attains the Emperor's position, relying on his own Fuxi status and the mastery of the Heavenly Stele Mystic Law over the Heaven-Reaching Death Bridge, he may well be able to contend with the Main God using this supreme treasure.

Moreover, Feng Yi has just discovered that the balance law sustaining the fundamental operation of the Great Dao of this realm might greatly aid his future path; if he can comprehend it, his path might be perfected completely.

Coincidentally, the four stalks of Undying Divine Elixir of his innate companion and the Primordial Four Spirit Holy Beasts derived from the balance law have a deep affinity; this might be an opportunity.

Countless thoughts swirled in his mind; after a long while, Feng Yi's breath finally returned to calm.

Afterward, he seemed to sense something; subconsciously directing his gaze into the Primordial Plane, he saw a figure wielding a sickle.

With a thought, the Heaven-Reaching Death Bridge returned to the Wheel Sea World; Feng Yi's figure vanished into the void and appeared before the figure wielding a sickle.

"Vermilion Bird"
