Chapter 222 The Origin of Heaven and Earth
Although he had long anticipated that the birth of the Innate Sword Dao would inevitably bring a great calamity, and he had made preparations, he had not expected the calamity to come so quickly and fiercely, far exceeding His capacity to withstand it.
For a moment, Feng Zichen regretted his hasty decision, feeling that he should have waited until his strength had reached a higher level before attempting to establish the Innate Sword Dao.
But things had come to this point, and He could not retreat even a fraction; He had no choice but to bite the bullet and proceed.
Moreover, He possessed numerous trump cards, profound merits, and the blessing of Pangu. With all these advantages combined, there was a possibility that He might have a chance to break through the heavenly punishment and establish the Innate Sword Dao.
"Innate Sword Dao, condense for me!"
Before the heavenly punishment descended, Feng Zichen activated eighty-one innate runes, transforming them into a sword of the sword Dao, carrying supreme sword intent, and actively charged towards the heavens.
Rumble!
Feng Zichen's actions seemed like a provocation, further enraging the Heavenly Dao. The entire cloud layer churned and surged, a terrifying power gathering and transforming into a vast bolt of lightning that crashed down!
Crack!
With just one strike, the longsword formed from the sword path shattered, its surface covered in cracks, like porcelain, ready to break at any moment.
"Such an unfamiliar aura!"
At this moment, Zhen Yuanzi and Kunpeng, just recovering from their shock, were drawn to the Innate Sword Dao.
"That is..."
"A new Innate Dao, an Innate Dao that has never appeared before, an Innate Dao transformed from the Acquired Dao!"
"That's it."
"Only in this way could the Heavenly Dao be so enraged, unleashing a quasi-saint level heavenly punishment."
The two's insight was extraordinary!
Having witnessed this scene, how could they not guess what Feng Zichen's actions meant, and naturally understand the reason for the Heavenly Dao's wrath?
Defying the Innate Dao is a great taboo of the Heavenly Dao, intolerable to Him.
Anyone or anything that dares to do so will face heavenly punishment. Whether it benefits Heaven and Earth or not, it is the same, treating everyone equally!
After all, for the Heavenly Dao, punishing first and then rewarding is also a method.
"This person truly deserves to be called a direct descendant of Pangu. Upon his birth, he has already undertaken an unprecedented act, intending to add another innate Dao to the primordial world and open another path for all living beings."
"This person's enlightenment and wisdom are extremely high; I am far inferior to him!"
Zhen Yuanzi sighed as he watched Feng Zichen actively attacking the Heavenly Punishment.
Kunpeng Daoist, beside him, changed his expression but did not refute, clearly agreeing with Zhen Yuanzi's words.
To reverse the acquired Dao into the innate Dao. This method was something they could never have imagined. Only after witnessing this scene did they suddenly realize: so this is how one can prove the Dao!
Proving the Dao in this way is far superior to the methods of proving the Dao circulating in the primordial world.
In this respect alone, Feng Zichen thought of things they could not even imagine, far surpassing them.
The sudden appearance of a true descendant of Pangu was already a momentous event that shook the primordial world. But now it seems that it's not just that.
The primordial world may be about to gain a new innate path; who knows what kind of upheaval it will cause?
The primordial world is about to change again!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Above the sky, after a bolt of lightning struck down from the clouds, it didn't stop, but continued to churn and gather power, unleashing three more divine lightning bolts of heavenly punishment.
Instantly, the longsword formed from the sword path couldn't withstand the power of the heavenly punishment and shattered on the spot. It transformed back into eighty-one innate runes, struggling in the sea of lightning.
The power of the heavenly punishment was terrifying; the power of the innate runes was limited, and they probably wouldn't last long in the sea of lightning before being obliterated.
At that time, establishing the Innate Sword Dao would be a complete failure, and divine punishment would come for Feng Zichen.
"This divine punishment... is terrifying!"
Witnessing the power of the divine punishment, Feng Zichen couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine. However, establishing the Innate Sword Dao was crucial to his future path, and failure was not an option.
A terrifying power permeated the clouds, and the fourth bolt of divine punishment lightning gradually took shape, about to strike.
Seeing this, Feng Zichen dared not hesitate. He immediately calmed his mind and contacted the World Tree, intending to use its power for a desperate gamble.
Having devoured the body of the Chaos Demon God, the World Tree had undergone a tremendous transformation. Its essence had been enhanced like never before, and its strength was no less than that of a top-tier Grand Divine Power in the Primordial Era, approaching that of a Grand Luo Golden Immortal.
While borrowing the power of the World Tree wouldn't grant Feng Zichen strength comparable to a Grand Divine Power, it would allow him to temporarily rival a Quasi-Saint.
In this way, dealing with a Quasi-Saint level divine punishment would undoubtedly be much easier.
However, just as the power of the World Tree was about to surge into Feng Zichen's body, another unexpected change occurred!
Boom!
A vast power surged forth, causing the entire North Sea—no, the entire Primordial World—to tremble.
Then, before the incredulous eyes of the great supernatural beings, countless paths descended, and the very essence of heaven and earth manifested in the world, crashing down upon the Heavenly Punishment that enveloped the entire North Sea.
"This…"
"Is the Primordial World about to change?"
"The essence of heaven and earth is actually fighting against the Heavenly Dao!"
Seeing this scene, the great supernatural beings all found it utterly absurd. As two sides of the same coin, how could the Heavenly Dao and the essence of heaven and earth possibly fight?
Yet, the facts before their eyes undeniably told them that this utterly absurd thing had truly happened.
At this moment, even the saints who had previously paid no attention to this matter couldn't help but lower their gaze towards the North Sea.
And above the North Sea, the Heavenly Punishment, suddenly attacked, began to collapse uncontrollably. A single strike from the essence of heaven and earth was equivalent to a single strike from the entire Primordial World; throughout the entire Primordial World, how many could withstand it?
A mere Quasi-Saint level Heavenly Punishment is naturally no match!
Of course, even if the Heavenly Punishment had the power, it wouldn't dare attack the very origin of heaven and earth.
That's the origin of heaven and earth!
The very foundation of the primordial world, and also the very foundation of the Heavenly Dao. If it were damaged, it would be a momentous event with unimaginable consequences.
The Heavenly Dao wouldn't attack itself!
"Hmm, what's going on?"
This absurd scene left Feng Zichen somewhat bewildered, completely unaware of the reason.
However, having become a Great Luo Golden Immortal, his level was different, far higher and more ethereal. In an instant, he regained his composure, deducing the reason for this matter through his unseen perception.
"So that's how it is!"
The emergence of the Innate Sword Dao, though defying the heavens, could bring unimaginable benefits to the primordial world.
To maintain the order of the primordial world, the Heavenly Dao had to intervene against the Innate Sword Dao, preventing it from acting against the heavens.
But the origin of heaven and earth is different from the Heavenly Dao; whether the Innate Sword Dao defies the heavens or not, it doesn't care at all. it only knew that if the Innate Sword Dao were established, He would be strengthened.
The primordial world would also be strengthened accordingly.
Anything beneficial to the primordial world, regardless of good or evil, would receive the protection of the origin of heaven and earth.
Therefore, when it saw that the Heavenly Dao intended to destroy the Innate Sword Dao, He could not help but intervene, descending upon the world to extinguish the Heavenly Punishment.
