Chapter 664: Chapter 549 Arrival_1 As the Golden Body Dharma Phase appeared, spiritual power surged, its aura peerless. With an expression of neither sorrow nor joy, the golden figure pointed a finger towards the terrified Saint Heir. Under that one finger, its power was astounding. The Saint Heir’s face distorted under the force, his limbs gradually snapping, his flesh and blood slowly blurring. But in just an instant, he returned to his original state, unharmed. At his brow, a blood mark shone brightly, emitting a deep and pitch-black luster. Simultaneously, behind the Saint Heir, a massive bloody silhouette emerged. This figure, like a bloodied person soaked in tainted blood, had surging vital energies, soul-snatching, its oppressive might terrifying. This was a Bloody Dharma Phase! It was the Heaven Void blood shadow of an ancestor from the Demon Path. It was also a rune! A powerful life-saving talisman, similar to the special Eternal Life Rune! Bai Zisheng took advantage of the Saint Heir’s distraction, approached stealthily, then self-destructed his special Eternal Life Rune, triggering the Golden Body Dharma Phase, wishing to utterly annihilate this Demon Path Saint Heir! 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶 And with one point of the Dharma Phase, the Saint Heir was on the brink of death. The life-saving rune on the Saint Heir’s forehead was also forcibly activated, contending with the Golden Body Dharma Phase and saving his life. One “life” for another “life”. One rune for another rune. In the Dali Mountain. The Righteous Dao’s Golden Body Dharma Phase clashed with the Demon Path’s Bloody Dharma Phase, fingertip to palm, shattering the heavens and splitting the earth. Golden and bloody spiritual powers swept across the land. Mountain peaks crumbled, vegetation uprooted, earth and stones turned into dust, and the Monster Beasts suffered the aftermath, crushed into ash. Bai Zixi still stood in front of Mo Hua. The lingering power of the Eternal Life Rune followed Bai Zixi’s intent, protecting both Mo Hua and Aunt Xue nearby. Mo Hua was unaffected. He stood there, dumbstruck, watching the two Dharma Phases clash, his heart filled with inexplicable shock. “This is… the power of a true Cultivator…” “To move mountains and seas, to destroy the sky and obliterate the earth…” “This is the true cultivation that reaches through the heavens and the earth…” “Heaven Void Realm…” In Mo Hua’s eyes, there was both shock and longing, and he couldn’t help tightening his small hands. One day, he too would hold the power to reverse the heavens and the earth. With a flip of his hand to cover the sky, with a turn of his hand to level the ground! Then, no one would dare to scheme against his master, no one would dare to bully his Junior Brother and Junior Sister! No one would dare to harm the people he cherished! … The clash between Dharma Phases was momentary, yet shook the heavens and the earth. Shortly after, thunderclouds returned to the sky. The celestial tribulation descended a second time. Scarlet tribulation lightning fell from the sky with a cold fury, aiming to annihilate both the Righteous Dao Golden Body Dharma Phase and the Demon Path Bloody Dharma Phase! Everything returned to calm once more… … But before that, when the first Eternal Life Rune shattered. The heavenly secrets here had already been disturbed. The seal of the Nether Heavenly Mechanism Seal was obliterated by the tribulation lightning, and the heavenly secrets leaked out, revealing cause and effect. The tremendous fluctuation in spiritual power generated by the Golden Body Dharma Phase also spread from Dali Mountain, stirring up Cultivators far and wide. A thousand miles away, in Liyuan City. A middle-aged white-robed Cultivator sensed the breaking of the first special Eternal Life Rune and also felt the Dharma Phase fluctuations of the Heaven Void Realm, his heart trembling. Momentarily careless, he crushed the teacup in his hand to powder. “The special… Eternal Life Rune?” “Shattered… Shattered?!” Even though he was a late Jindan stage Cultivator and had held a high position for two hundred years, his sophisticated demeanor couldn’t prevent his face from turning instantly pale. He was the Court Leader of Liyuan City’s Taoist Court. Liyuan City is the largest Immortal City in the entire Dali Mountain State boundary. And the Taoist Court of Liyuan City is the largest in scale, with the most Cultivators, and the highest authority in the entire Dali Mountain State boundary. As the Court Leader, he was responsible for the safety and security of the entire Dali Mountain State boundary. The greater the power, the greater the responsibility. But now, at this very moment, while he was merely drinking tea, without any warning, he had sensed the fluctuations of the Heaven Void Dharma Phase. And that a special Eternal Life Rune had shattered… The white-robed Cultivator felt a chill in his heart and a bitterness in his mouth. “Which noble Clan’s prized heir came to Dali Mountain to play and accidentally shattered their own Eternal Life Rune…” A special Eternal Life Rune… Is that an ordinary talisman? Those who plant a special Eternal Life Rune… Could they be from an ordinary family? And someone who is allowed to receive a special Eternal Life Rune… Could they be an ordinary disciple? Without a life-and-death crisis, could a special Eternal Life Rune shatter? What does this imply? It implies that there are serious security issues within the Dali Mountain State boundary! If any issue arises, he, as the Court Official responsible for the entire state boundary, would surely be held accountable! A black-iron lump weighed on his head—not a pot but still something ending up as his responsibility! The noble Clans wouldn’t listen to explanations; a pot needed to be carried, and someone always had to bear their wrath. This was merely an Eternal Life Rune shattering. If the prized heir who received the Eternal Life Rune met with an accident… The white-robed Cultivator’s face turned ashen as he immediately stood up, barking out an order: “Someone come!” An Enforcement Leader entered, bowing and asking, “What instructions does Court Leader have?” The white-robed Cultivator glanced in the direction of the spiritual power fluctuations, considered the structure of the Dali Mountain State boundary, and after contemplating for a while, he vaguely recalled a location: Li Mountain City… “Send a message to Li Mountain City’s Taoist Court, ask what happened over there.” “Yes.” The Enforcement Leader left to deliver the order and came back after a short while, his expression grave, “Court Leader, there’s no reply from Li Mountain City…” The white-robed Cultivator frowned, “No reply?” Anger rose in him as he cursed, “Negligence of duty? Such laxness and neglect to the point that…” The white-robed Cultivator suddenly paused, a chill creeping into his heart. No reply… Was it a lack of response, or… could no one respond anymore? Could something have happened to Li Mountain City’s Taoist Court…? Under the Taoist Court, a clear and bright world—it couldn’t be possible, right? Who would dare to be so audacious?
