Chapter 221 The Sword Path Emerges, Heavenly Punishment Descends!
Above the North Sea, Feng Zichen, wielding the Zichen Sword, inscribed eighty-one innate runes in the void, their light shining brightly.
The runes were imbued with innate Daoist charm and surrounded by sword intent; they were runes unique to the innate sword path, the cornerstone of the innate sword path!
As all eighty-one innate runes emerged, Feng Zichen abruptly raised the Zichen Sword in his hand and proclaimed to the heavens:
"Heaven above, I, Pangu Zichen, have now glimpsed the opportunity of the Great Dao. Beyond the innate Daos, I establish another innate Dao, called: the Dao of the Sword!"
"Now I wish to establish the Dao of the Sword, integrating the principles of swordsmanship in the primordial world, setting the general outline of the Dao of the Sword, and inscribing innate sword patterns, thus creating another path of transcendence for all beings and adding another innate Dao to the world."
"In this way, I will stabilize the primordial world, strengthen the origin of the world, allow all beings to transcend, and accelerate the evolution of the Heavenly Dao."
"All beings in the primordial world, regardless of whether they are innate or acquired, whether they possess a sword or not, as long as they harbor a heart for the sword, can cultivate this Dao."
"Now I follow the will of Heaven and the Dao, using the innate spiritual treasure, the Zichen Sword, to carry the innate Dao of the Sword, transforming it into a vessel for the Dao, and gathering the boundless fortune of the Dao of the Sword."
"Thus, Heaven and Earth bear witness!"
"The innate Dao of the Sword, established!" As his voice fell, the world changed color, and the entire North Sea fell into darkness.
A terrifying power emerged above the North Sea, surging and vast, shaking the entire primordial world.
This was the wrath of Heaven; someone had defied Heaven, transforming acquired things into innate energy—truly unforgivable!
Rumble!
A thunderous roar suddenly erupted, vast and powerful, shattering the void and clearly reaching Feng Zichen's ears, nearly shattering his sea of consciousness.
"Hiss!"
"The Heavenly Dao's reaction is so strong!"
Forcibly suppressing his discomfort, Feng Zichen said in shock. He was already a Great Luo Golden Immortal, his body comparable to an innate spiritual treasure.
Yet, a single thunderclap had caused his blood to churn and his sea of consciousness to tremble, almost injuring him. If a true heavenly punishment were to strike, it would be devastating; a single bolt of lightning could likely take half his life.
This heavenly punishment was definitely not at the Great Luo Golden Immortal level, but rather specifically prepared for Quasi-Saint level experts.
"The North Sea..."
"What happened?"
"Why has it provoked such a furious reaction from the Heavenly Dao?"
Sensing the vast power of the Heavenly Dao, many powerful beings looked towards the North Sea, wanting to see what had caused such wrath and divine punishment.
However, the power of the Heavenly Dao enveloped the entire North Sea, obscuring the vision of the powerful beings and preventing them from seeing what was happening within.
"The North Sea is Kunpeng's territory. Could this be related to him?"
"Not necessarily. A few years ago, Zhen Yuanzi went to the North Sea to seek revenge on Kunpeng and fought a great battle with him there, and he hasn't returned yet."
"Perhaps they fought to the death and destroyed an important place in the North Sea, causing this disaster!"
...
Unable to see the situation in the North Sea, the powerful beings began to speculate in their minds.
But the power of the Heavenly Dao suppressed everything, even the secrets of heaven, rendering their calculations useless.
However, genuinely curious, they couldn't help but discuss the matter among themselves based on what they knew, linking it to Kunpeng and Zhen Yuanzi.
Leaving aside the many powerful beings, while the Heavenly Dao could block the prying eyes outside the North Sea, it couldn't shield those within.
Sure enough, as soon as the anomaly occurred in the North Sea, three powerful beings remaining there looked over.
"Indeed, Hongjun truly didn't deceive me this time. This child indeed obtained a great opportunity in the Ruins of Return."
In the Arctic region, the Xuanwu Sacred Beast stroked its beard and smiled.
It had sensed Feng Zichen's emergence from the Ruins of Return as soon as he appeared. Just by seeing his cultivation as a Great Luo Golden Immortal, the Xuanwu Sacred Beast knew that the opportunity he had obtained in the Ruins of Return must have been significant.
However, upon seeing that Feng Zichen was unharmed, the Xuanwu Sacred Beast withdrew its gaze and ceased paying attention.
Everyone has their own destiny, and outsiders cannot force it. What opportunities Feng Zichen obtained were irrelevant to it, and it didn't care.
However, Feng Zichen's purpose in coming to the North Sea was to visit him, and he couldn't afford for him to suffer any mishap here. Otherwise, losing face would be a minor matter; the death of its benefactor would severely impact its Dao heart.
Therefore, the Xuanwu Sacred Beast had been keeping a close eye on Feng Zichen, trying its best to prevent any harm.
However, what the Xuanwu Sacred Beast hadn't expected was that the moment it withdrew its gaze, Feng Zichen hastily established the Innate Sword Dao, thus angering the Heavenly Dao and incurring divine punishment.
This made it difficult for Him to intervene.
The Heavenly Punishment was only aimed at one person, but if an outsider intervened, its power would multiply, making it a problem for both of them.
"So be it, he has finally achieved the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, and is already immortal. Even the Heavenly Punishment cannot completely kill him."
"If he perishes in the Heavenly Punishment, I will help him revive."
"His fall once is a good thing; it will teach him a lesson and make him think more carefully before acting."
Thinking this, the Xuanwu Sacred Beast felt relieved and silently observed the development of the situation.
The Great Luo Golden Immortal is immortal; no matter how strong the Heavenly Punishment is, it cannot kill Feng Zichen. Letting him suffer a little is good.
After all, Feng Zichen's path has been too smooth since his debut; this is not good! "
...
Heavenly punishment?"
"Who is that person?"
"What heaven-defying act did He commit to provoke such a furious reaction from the Heavenly Dao, resulting in a quasi-saint level heavenly punishment?"
On the other side, Zhen Yuanzi and Kunpeng, who were engaged in a fierce battle, sensed the heavenly punishment descending and simultaneously stopped fighting, looking towards Feng Zichen.
"Hiss!"
"Such pure Pangu aura!"
"Pangu Zichen Clan?"
"I never expected that besides the Three Pure Ones and the Twelve Ancestral Witches, there would be another true Pangu lineage in the prehistoric world!"
"But where did this person come from? Why have we never heard of His name before?"
The first thing that attracted the two of them when they looked at Feng Zichen was not the innate runes floating in the air, but the Pangu aura emanating from Feng Zichen.
That aura was incomparably pure, no less than the Pangu aura on the Three Pure Ones and the Twelve Ancestral Witches. Clearly, this was another true Pangu lineage!
As everyone knows, in the prehistoric world, only the Three Pure Ones, transformed from Pangu's primordial spirit, and the Twelve Ancestral Witches, transformed from his heart's essence, are the true Pangu lineage.
The rest, such as Xing Tian, innate great witches born from Pangu's bloodline, and innate gods and demons transformed from Pangu's remains, cannot be considered true descendants of Pangu.
Now, suddenly, a true descendant of Pangu has appeared in the primordial world—how could this not astonish the two?
This is a momentous event that will shake the primordial world!
What the two thought was none of Feng Zichen's concern; he couldn't care less about them. Because at this moment, he was already on the verge of action, and had no choice but to act!
