Exploring Immortality Cultivation-Chapter 1080 - 163: Reversing Strength and Weakness

The Holy Emperor Venerable truly leaves no loopholes in his actions.

He did not directly absorb Qiushui Daoist's magic body, nor did he care for the insights into the Innate Five Taos from Qiushui Daoist's soul. Instead, he used his own technique to refine a stream of Innate Chaos Pure Qi cultivated by Qiushui Daoist. In this way, whether it was the "Da Luo Chaos Heaven Scripture" that had issues or Qiushui Daoist having been tampered with, he was able to maximize the avoidance of Wang Qi's schemes.

The absorption of Human Dao was similar. He did not blindly absorb it but used the divine spirit "Son of Terror Torture" he had seized to slowly strip away and refine the Heart Demon Curse Power circulating within Human Dao. Furthermore, he did not personally refine the "Son of Terror Torture", instead using the Holy Infant Sect's Heterodox-protected Earth Evil Demon God Skill, allowing Compassionate Father Holy Son Wind King to refine this divine spirit so it could be discarded at any time.

The Compassionate Father Holy Son Wind King himself is already beyond the average Mahayana, capable of contending with typical Heavenly Immortals, and abandoning such a divine soul is an act of boldness not many would possess.

In this way, all the methods Wang Qi laid on the table were restrained by the Holy Emperor Venerable.

Unfortunately, it was only limited to "on the table."

The Holy Emperor Venerable also only had a partial understanding of Wang Qi's methods. He understood the Heart Demon Great Curse but only saw it as a type of Divine Tao Method, logically assuming that all of Wang Qi's methods were extensions of this Divine Tao. Moreover, he was unaware of the most crucial "Divine Plague Curse Technique."

"You are truly too greedy, Holy Emperor Venerable."

"If you had decisively abandoned all of this, wanting nothing, I really wouldn't have much to do. But now it's different."

Wang Qi chuckled softly in the darkness, his fingers trembling slightly as he inscribed new instructions into the void.

This was a sinister part of his entire plan.

All the Ancient Method Practitioners screamed simultaneously. Ignoring deviation, they howled while clutching their heads, and through the partially open eyelids of some, one could even see their twitching eyeballs. Their muscles seemed to lose control at that moment, leading to full-body convulsions and even incontinence. Thankfully, most high-level cultivators practice fasting, or else Spirit Phoenix Island would be engulfed in a stench.

The Holy Emperor Venerable felt his head suddenly "buzz" as if struck by an iron hammer.

"DDOS"—Distributed Denial of Service. At that moment, all the still-conscious cultivators on Spirit Phoenix Island launched a mental assault on the Holy Emperor Venerable. The spiritual attack at the level of mortals, no matter how many, could not budge the Holy Emperor Venerable's immortal-level unshakable heart, but it could stall his thoughts a little. Normally it wouldn't matter, but at this time, the Holy Emperor Venerable was in the most crucial breakthrough. He could not ignore it.

With a simple gesture of his right hand, numerous Library Towers within the Heavenly Book Tower suddenly lit up. He drew upon the thoughts of all the cultivators on Spirit Phoenix Island and re-arranged them according to the classification method of the secret texts in the Heavenly Book Tower. The speed then increased suddenly. Then, the Holy Emperor Venerable pressed back the spirits of all the cultivators on Spirit Phoenix Island through the Divine Country.

"If you had pulled this trick at the critical moment of this one's breakthrough, maybe this one would have truly feared you. But with this alone, you cannot do anything to this one!" The Holy Emperor Venerable clapped his hands together, and dozens of ink-colored dragons flashing with white light suddenly surged in the Heavenly Book Tower. They were manifestations of Shenzhou's accumulated civilization and the consolidated thoughts and souls of everyone on Spirit Phoenix Island. These ink dragons spiraled around the Holy Emperor Venerable, and the Holy Virtue and Dao Morality among the Innate Five Virtues once again strengthened, then deduced the complete operation of the Innate Five Virtues. The Holy Emperor Venerable declared, "This one will complete the breakthrough in a quarter of an hour. If you cannot kill this one now, you, along with all the human race in this world, need not live!"

The Holy Emperor Venerable was testing Wang Qi, provoking Wang Qi.

Though it might be embarrassing to say, the Holy Emperor Venerable was indeed shocked by Wang Qi's methods as a Golden Core Stage cultivator. This young one was particularly terrifying in the art of curses, even able to restrain a Mahayana cultivator like Qiushui Daoist, truly not to be underestimated!

Meanwhile, more divine spirits joined the siege on Wang Qi's avatars. Under the Holy Emperor Venerable's "All Heavens Divine Wheel," these avatars' combat power could not fully play out, leaving them with less than ten percent strength. In contrast, all of the Holy Emperor Venerable's divine spirits performed beyond their usual capacity. If it weren't for the fusion with the divine body "Key of the Gate," the "Great Xiang Universe" Primordial Spirit avatar would have had outstanding prowess in space and time. If not for the countless Starlight Gates continuously deploying the Space Escape Technique, these avatars might have already perished.

At this moment, a loud noise suddenly came from the sea surface.

"Do you think my means are just this paltry?"

The Holy Emperor Venerable's eyes flashed with insight, and he locked his consciousness on a spot beneath the sea: "There!"

The three concentric circles at the center of his brows trembled, and he immediately ascended to the sky, dominating the "All Heavens Divine Wheel." The Compassionate Father Holy Son Wind King took over the core; many divine spirits were once again irradiated, Great Wilderness God. Longevity Heaven, the two main battle gods, immediately left the Holy Emperor Venerable's side, dashing toward that location. Concurrently, hundreds of large and small divine spirits also rushed forward.

Let alone Wang Qi, who was merely at the Golden Core Stage despite having Primordial Spirit Realm, even a Void Refining Cultivator would have been flustered!

At the seabed, Wang Qi seemed utterly unconcerned about being exposed, unhurriedly inputting new instructions on a nearby interface.

Far away in the Divine Capital, the Great Capital Governor suddenly took off his official seal. This "official seal" was part of his authority and the surplus Heart Demon Curse Power accumulated in the Divine Capital over more than a year. The Great Capital Governor stepped out of Zhang Platform and hurled the official seal in his hand with force. The hundred-foot-long official seal turned into a stream of light and flew far to the east.

At this moment, the Holy Emperor Venerable achieved unity of Heaven and Man, his perception surpassed the scope of conventional Spiritual Sense. Even though the enormous Heart Demon Curse force approached light speed, he could still perceive it. He had just wanted to block it, but at this moment, another mutation suddenly occurred.

His gods suddenly weakened.

Those Divine Spirits were originally interconnected by his supreme technique, "Daitian Sealing Dao," through the Emperor's Extreme Split Sky Dao, no longer independent entities, but connected by countless divine channels and qi veins. But just now, these qi veins seemed suddenly blocked, unable to operate. A powerful Divine Spirit like Longevity Heaven suddenly weakened by thirty percent, while transformed deities like the "Ghost Mysterious Altar True God" simply vanished!

If the Human Dao System of Spirit Phoenix Island were likened to a cultivator, the Holy Emperor Venerable would be the Dantian Sea, while mighty gods like Longevity Heaven and Great Wilderness God would be key acupoints. As for other minor gods, they are ordinary acupoint holes.

Now the Holy Emperor Venerable is as if missing many acupoint holes, the cultivation techniques simply cannot operate!

"How is this done... No, it's not right." The Holy Emperor Venerable suddenly felt something: "It's not being obstructed but completely disappearing..."

The foundation of the Divine Country Technique lies in "causal connections." This is why he painstakingly constructed Spirit Phoenix Island's malformed society. And now, the lines of causality within the Human Dao are disappearing, his meticulously woven connections are breaking!

"Innate Final Destiny? Tribulation? No, none of them. Just now, there was no aura of the Great Dao manifesting, Heterodox would also not be bestowed divine skills by the Great Dao..."

"Moreover, all this doesn't quite make sense... The causal lines I've woven aren't disappearing due to chaos, not breaking due to the human heart, nor being forcefully severed by external force..."

Divine Country collapses, Divine Wheel tilts!

Everything happened far too quickly. The Holy Emperor Venerable hadn't yet figured everything out when a majestic divine power had already reached the face of Spirit Phoenix Island. At this time, a black light suddenly emerged from the sea, just intercepting that enormous Heart Demon Curse force.

Longevity Heaven roared, wanting to clear this obstacle. A cold light captured his opened mouth. It was a chain, and at the front of the chain was tied an iron pliers, like in the legend of the Tongue-Pulling Hell, pulling at Longevity Heaven's tongue. On the other side, dozens of iron nails connected by chains pierced into Great Wilderness God's scapula. Xin Mountain God's hands were clamped by boards connected with chains, while iron shackles linked with chains grasped Great River Lord's legs.

All the gods rushing in this direction were restrained by the instruments with chains.

Each Divine Spirit corresponded to a piece of punishment equipment.

And all the chains extended from within the black robe of a Divine Body.

Evil God, Hongyuan.

Due to the sudden malfunction of the Divine Country, the Holy Emperor Venerable didn't have time to change tactics. The defense transformed from the light of Innate Five Virtues seemed nonexistent, directly penetrated by Hongyuan's chains—Hongyuan God was a rare Divine Spirit containing the Innate Five Elements Dao, an Evil God, exactly counteracting ordinary gods possessing Innate Five Virtues. In this situation of intentional calculation against unintentional, Hongyuan's restraining ability was perfectly exhibited!

An Escape Light descended before Hongyuan God, Wang Qi in a black robe as well, smiling at the Holy Emperor Venerable: "Emperor, if you manage to escape, remember to tell Master of Hongyuan Sect, Mei Gemu, or whoever—stolen stuff indeed works freaking well!"

"Hongyuan... Why..."

The Holy Emperor Venerable could not care about so much anymore. The sudden collapse of the Divine Country caused the balance of Innate Five Virtues power within his root cultivation to be lost. In the midst of extreme shock, all he could do was activate his backup plan. Numerous Library Towers of the Heavenly Book Tower arose from the ground, all Spirit Prohibitions inside peeled off, reassembled around the Holy Emperor Venerable, forming a powerful Law Gate of Five Virtues rotation, this barely stopped the collapse of the Divine Country. Meanwhile, the Holy Emperor Venerable luckily discovered that the remaining Divine Spirits were still under his control. The Kindly Father Holy Son Pure Wind King turned into three light circles, about to return to the Holy Emperor Venerable's body. However, Wang Qi raised the Heart Demon Great Curse Memory Body in his hand, shouting, "Block it!"

The Son of Terror Torture responded to Wang Qi's call, roaring to the sky!

Composing the Divine Body of "Son of Terror Torture," is the Heart Demon Curse.

All zero-level authorities of the Heart Demon Curse, belong to the limited Heart Demon Curse Memory Body.

Wang Qi always held the authority of the "physical layer" of the Son of Terror Torture!~

The Holy Emperor Venerable merely relied on the Divine Tao Method to root the advanced authority of the Son of Terror Torture. However, no matter how high a hacker's skill is, once he's physically shut off, it's impossible for him to make any waves!
