Chapter 583: Chapter 582: Venerable Emperor Chong’en Covers the Heavens with a Finger, Lin Heng Blessed by Fortune!

At the same time.

Within the Celestial Court, almost all of the Daoist disciples simultaneously felt a tremor in their hearts, and a sudden sorrow was born.

"This is..."

Shen Gongbao’s expression turned grim, realizing something, he hurriedly raised his head to look at Lin Heng.

Only to see the Four Immortal Slaying Swords hovering around Lin Heng vibrating continuously, emitting a resonant sword cry.

The sound of the sword cries was like a lamentation, the melancholy accompanying the Sword Qi soared into the sky.

An entire Star Realm was directly annihilated.

In an instant, everyone realized what was happening, Shen Gongbao, Nezha, and others couldn’t help but slightly tremble their lips.

Lin Heng also closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and after suppressing his sorrow, he shouted loudly: "Farewell, Shangqing Lingbao Celestial Venerable..."

Boom!

The entire Daoist Court echoed with this phrase.

"Farewell, Shangqing Lingbao Celestial Venerable!"

Countless beings cried out in sorrow, the sound waves rolling like mountains and seas, sweeping across the entire Eastern Immortal Realm.

The North Sea also seemed to hear a thunderous roar.

All outsiders were stunned.

Especially those ancient Quasi-Saints, every face bore expressions of shock and disbelief.

"Could it be that the Heaven-Reaching Sect Leader has fallen?"

"Heavens..."

The powerhouses who had lived through the Gods Sealing Era all gasped, feeling a sense of bewilderment, with the demeanor of that Shangqing Saint still vivid in their minds.

Teaching without discrimination.

The world was his enemy.

Immortal Slaying Sword Array, facing the Saints!

He was the Saint with the greatest killing power on earth!

He was the Saint whose sword could split the heavens and earth!

Yet he has fallen?

Could he truly have fallen?

"What exactly is Daoism facing?"

"How long has it been since the Yuqing Primordial Celestial Venerable’s fall, and now the Shangqing Lingbao Celestial Venerable follows?"

"They were the mightiest Saints in the world, how could even they fall one day?"

"Could it be that the so-called Saints, immortal and indestructible, is just empty talk?"

Many powerhouses were lamenting, and among them, quite a few viewed Daoism as an enemy. The fall of Daoist Saints should have been exhilarating news for them.

Yet, they couldn’t understand why.

Even their hearts were filled with sadness.

Perhaps the successive fall of the Saints made them realize that even if one day they truly become a Saint, they would still be unable to achieve true immortality.

Thus, for a time, Quasi-Saints from all sides were left with complex emotions.

Including Venerable Emperor Chong’en, whose heart was also filled with reflection.

"It is said, once you accept the grace of the Heavenly Dao, you should follow its will honestly."

"Otherwise, even the Heaven-Reaching, even the Primordial, would meet such ends."

Venerable Emperor Chong’en murmured softly, after attaining enlightenment, he saw many things that were previously unseen, and came to understand the true rules and order of this world.

"Your Daoism is too pretentious, too arrogant, which is why you face such consequences."

Venerable Emperor Chong’en said, with a faint look of mockery in his eyes as he gazed at Lin Heng.

In response, Lin Heng replied calmly: "Whether pretentious or arrogant, I only know that Daoism acts with a clear conscience, so regardless of the outcome, we will not regret it."

"I believe the ancestor masters would not regret it either."

He looked up at the sky, his expression steadfast.

"Ha..."

Venerable Emperor Chong’en sneered coldly, dismissively saying: "You still do not understand what order Daoism is challenging."

"However, I suppose it is normal."

"The ignorant know no fear."

"Perhaps when you reach my level, you will understand that many things cannot simply follow the heart."

Venerable Emperor Chong’en became more inscrutable, truly exuding the aura of a Saint.

But in Lin Heng’s eyes, he appeared no different from before.

"Before attaining enlightenment, you were timid and fearful."

"After enlightenment, you remain the same."

"Venerable Emperor Chong’en, having attained that position, has anything truly changed?"

Lin Heng’s words pierced like needles, causing Venerable Emperor Chong’en to feel a mix of anger and shame. The Saint’s killing intent spread, instantly evaporating the waters of the North Sea, even the continuous supply from below the Sea Eye came to a temporary halt.

Venerable Emperor Chong’en spoke with a cold tone: "Then I will tell you."

"The change in this Saint is that nothing in the present world is worth my regard!"

With those words.

He aimed a finger from the center of the North Sea, across tens of millions of miles, towards the Eastern Domain Celestial Court.

This finger appeared to press down from beyond the universe.

It blocked out the sky and sun, so massive that its edges couldn’t even be seen, rapidly descending, crushing layer upon layer of Celestial Realm.

The void collapsed layer by layer, countless streams of Chaos Qi unleashed.

All the beings of the Eastern Domain could only see endless ravines accompanied by rolling magma descending from the sky, but in reality, they were merely the fingerprints of the Saint’s finger.

The finger was so large that the vast majority of beings couldn’t even tell it was a finger.

It seemed boundless, like an entire sky collapsing down.

Terrifying power.

Not to mention ordinary beings, even the current Quasi-Saints turned pale as if facing doomsday.

The void around Lin Heng shattered, the fierce winds stirred by the Saint’s finger pressing down was so intense that the wooden hairpin at his temple went missing, his black hair cascading down, wildly dancing with the Purple Gold Daoist Robe.

The wind roared strongly.

Lin Heng, who should have been sovereign over all, at this moment, appeared unexpectedly frail.

"Is this the might of a Saint?"

"Oh heavens..."

Within the Immortal Palace, nearly all the immortals trembled.

They couldn’t even lift their heads to observe.

The oppressive weight of the heavenly power made their knees tremble uncontrollably, with a feeling of wanting to kneel down.

"Can the Daoist Lord withstand this?"

Many who originally had full confidence in the Celestial Court, at this moment, couldn’t help but doubt.

Shen Gongbao, his face pale, was exceptionally certain.

"He can withstand it, he surely can!"

Tianpeng, Ox Demon King, and others looked at Shen Gongbao.

Within the Daoist Court.

It could be said that only Shen Gongbao was a true disciple of a Saint, Shen Gongbao knew the terror of a Saint better than anyone else.

But since he said so.

Then the Daoist Lord surely can do it!

Everyone, under immense pressure, gritted their teeth and looked towards the figure above.

At that moment, Lin Heng, with disheveled black hair and Daoist robe, surrounded by obliterated void, had not taken a single step back.

On the contrary, his face was full of determination.

"I have the Daoist Court, tens of billions of people."

"What fear is there of the Saint?"

"Roar!"

Lin Heng roared to the sky, his body swelling.

From the Dragon Vein of the Celestial Court, pillars of light shot into the sky.

Endless fortune, like myriad rivers returning to the sea, surged toward Lin Heng.

Lin Heng’s form transformed abnormally.

Turning into a man-faced dragon body, countless billions of miles large.

And within the glistening golden dragon body, surging Purple Qi erupted, making Lin Heng at this moment, extraordinarily magnificent.

Facing the Saint’s sky-blocking finger, Lin Heng soared to the sky, colliding with it.
