Chapter 1839
Previously, when he sat cross-legged in meditation, his aura merged with the precious tree and the void, like a still immortal world, a landscape painting.
But the moment he opened his eyes, the stillness shattered instantly—a chaotic current seemed to flow in his pupils, and wherever his gaze swept, even the air seemed to be tinged with a faint gray, bringing the entire atmosphere of the golden roof to life.
"Kid, you're finally awake!" The little tower immediately floated in front of him, its runes shining brightly, its tone full of urgency.
"Tell me quickly, after breaking through the first stage of immortal energy, which power did you master from the three immortal energies of Azure Lotus, Crimson Lotus, and Merit?"
Chen Xuan didn't keep them in suspense; he simply raised his right hand, palm up.
Next second,
A wisp of dark red flame quietly ignited—the flame was about the size of a thumb, shaped like a budding red lotus, but its edges were wrapped with extremely fine black lines.
The flames were so close, yet they felt no heat at all; instead, they exuded a chilling sense of "annihilation," as if they could burn away all the sins of the world.
"Hahaha! Good! Great!" The little tower instantly became excited, its body shaking violently and almost crashing into Chen Xuan.
"You awakened the Crimson Lotus Karmic Flame after breaking through to the first stage! Kid, from this day forward, whether you're a righteous cultivator or a demonic lord, everyone will have to suppress you!"
Chen Xuan looked at the flame in his palm and couldn't help but smile—he could clearly sense that the flame contained extremely strong killing power, and he could also sense the "sinful energy" on the living beings. With just a thought, he could ignite the sins of the other party and make them suffer the backlash in the karmic fire.
"Don't underestimate this Crimson Lotus Karmic Fire," the little pagoda said, its voice still trembling with excitement.
"As cultivators, who hasn't been tainted with sin and impurity? Who hasn't slaughtered countless lives for resources or for life-or-death feuds?"
Xiao Ta continued,
"And all of these will turn into 'sins' that bind you. Your karmic fire can ignite these sins, putting your opponent under initial pressure—but that's not the most crucial point. The most crucial point is that you are destined to walk the extreme path, and the Crimson Lotus Karmic Fire is itself an extremely terrifying path of slaughter!"
It paused, as if remembering something, and its tone became somewhat heavy:
"In the middle of the Immortal Ancient Era, a peerless fourth-step Dao Lord was born in the Dao Alliance. His first strand of immortal energy was the Red Lotus Karmic Fire Immortal Energy. His talent and ability were only slightly weaker than yours. This person was also extremely ambitious—he actually wanted to use the Karmic Fire as the foundation to merge with the Dao and become the Supreme."
Chen Xuan pressed on curiously, "Did he eventually succeed in achieving Dao?"
Xiao Ta was silent for a moment before slowly saying, "He didn't die from the Dao Integration stage... I'll tell you the reason later."
Chen Xuan put away the karmic fire in his palm and nodded solemnly. For him, this was also a guide from the Great Dao.
Chen Xuan lowered his head, reaching out to touch the four manifested strands of immortal energy, his gaze growing increasingly resolute—
The chaotic immortal energy encompasses all things, the red lotus karmic fire deters villains, and with the system's Dao Integration trump card, he is confident that even if he reaches the fifth level of Dao Integration, let alone the third level, he can still walk step by step no matter how difficult the road ahead is.
"Back when Daoist Fei Hong was about to achieve Dao, his enemies, fearing his revenge after attaining Dao, gathered a large number of experts to ambush and kill him, trying to prevent him from achieving eternity." The little tower's voice carried a hint of reminiscence, and the light shimmering on the runes on its body softened.
"But at that time, Daoist Fei Hong had already cultivated the Great Dao of Karmic Fire to near perfection. Facing the encirclement of thirty-two Daoists, he only used two moves—the first move was the sinful divine power that he had created over ten thousand years."
Chen Xuan held his breath, unable to resist asking, "Just how powerful is this sinful divine power?"
"It's more amazing than you can imagine." Little Tower's tone was filled with amazement.
"Once that divine power was unleashed, within a radius of ten thousand miles, whether it was the Dao Lords who were besieging him, the passing cultivators, or even the mountain demons, all were entangled by a layer of sinful blood light that was a million feet high. The sins tainted the divine body, and heaven and earth became indistinguishable."
"There's such a thing?" Chen Xuan's eyes widened. He never expected that the Great Dao of Karmic Fire could give rise to such a supernatural power—enveloping sins indiscriminately, friend or foe. This was simply a suicidal fighting style.
"You think Daoist Feihong would be afraid of karmic fire?" Little Tower laughed.
"When he was at the peak of the Fourth Step Dao Lord, he used karmic fire to temper his soul and primordial spirit every day, and had long since become one with the karmic fire. The sinful blood light not only could not harm him, but could also provide him with power. But those thirty-two Dao Lords who surrounded him, after being hit, which one of them didn't have millions of feet of sin on his body?"
It paused, its tone full of exhilaration: "After the sinful divine power covered ten thousand miles, Daoist Feihong directly released the endless red lotus karmic fire—think about it, all living beings within ten thousand miles are entangled in sinful blood light, once this karmic fire touches them, wouldn't they be like firewood doused with kerosene?"
"In the blink of an eye, Fei Hong transformed into a giant red lotus. Wherever the karmic fire swept, the thirty-two Dao Lords didn't even have a chance to resist. Their primordial spirits and physical bodies were all burned to ashes. From then on, the name 'Fei Hong Karmic Fire' became famous throughout the second defense line area, and no one dared to provoke him again."
"With such a reputation, why didn't he die after achieving Dao Integration? Why is that?" Chen Xuan was most concerned about the ending, as it concerned his future path to Dao Integration.
Upon hearing this, the runes on the tower's body suddenly turned icy cold, and the smile vanished without a trace, replaced by a suppressed anger in its tone:
"If that hadn't happened, he might have truly achieved the Dao and become an Eternal Supreme, perhaps even reaching the Great Emperor realm. But alas..."
"What happened?" Chen Xuan narrowed his eyes, a bad feeling creeping into his heart. "Could it be that the path to eternal life, which relies on karmic fire as the primary means of achieving Dao, is inherently impassable?"
"It's not that the road is blocked, it's that the people are having problems," Xiaota said in a low voice, using a telepathic transmission that only the two of them could hear.
"Didn't I remind you before that even with your Daoist partner, you should be careful? Daoist Fei Hong was one of the most powerful Daoists who died at the hands of the mysterious infiltrators in the middle of the Immortal Ancient Era—there were far too many such things back then."
"You mean, during the Immortal Ancient War, someone from the Strange Clan took advantage of the chaos to infiltrate our civilization, infiltrated Fei Hong's side at the edge of the Dao Integration stage, and became his closest Dao Companion?" Chen Xuan's face instantly darkened.
If even the closest people around you could be your enemies, wouldn't you be completely defenseless when you reach the Dao?
For example, if one cultivates to the point of almost achieving Dao integration, one's Daoist partner, disciples, and even spirit beasts will definitely know to some extent.
