Chapter 397 - Chapter 394: Lin Feng, the New Heavenly Emperor, and the Chaos Dao Devil

[Without verbal confrontation, you directly launched your strongest attack. You seemed to transform into a Demon God wielding death, causing space to return to the Void Realm and Laws to be annihilated with every move. No one expected that, facing absolute power, the sturdy Formation would be as fragile as thin paper.]

[A great battle erupted. You fought against the masses, appearing like a mad demon. The limitless jade disc emitted unprecedented light, stabilizing the eight directions. The phantom of the Chaos Demon God stood tall between heaven and earth, shattering the Void Realm wherever its fist print struck. You slaughtered all sides, and in a short time, two Primordial Chaos Golden Immortal Experts fell.]

[Qing Huan's expression finally changed. He had not expected you to be this powerful.]

[You unleashed a forbidden technique from the Great Clarity Creation Scripture—the 'Great Clarity Calamity Sword.' A hazy gray sword light, seemingly existing since the beginning of creation, flashed past, ignoring defenses and severing Karma, locking directly onto Qing Huan. "No! How could you..." A sword light streaked across his despairing face, and his Physical Body, Divine Soul, and even his Dao Fruit were instantly extinguished like a candle in the wind.]

[You did not stop, breaking through the blockade and plunging into the lowest level of the Bone-Erosion Abyss. There, only a cold, broken body remained. Chen Yan had long since died, scattering his Star Origin just to ensure no clues could be used to track you.]

[You gently held your friend's corpse, your body trembling slightly, letting out a beast-like growl from your throat, yet unable to shed a single tear. The extreme grief and rage instead froze your Heart Lake, leaving only boundless killing intent rising in your Heart Sea.]

[You turned and looked at the terrified Cultivators of the Trade Alliance, saying nothing. You simply carried Chen Yan's remains, stepping out of the abyss one step at a time. Wherever you passed, no living thing remained.]

[This battle shook the Chaos. You alone slaughtered over ten Primordial Chaos Golden Immortal Experts before leaving grandly. Within the Chaos, the name "God of Slaughter" quietly began to circulate.]

[You returned to Creation Heaven and buried Chen Yan in this Blessed Land, ensuring he would not be disturbed by anyone.]

[Many years passed, and you began attempting to Breakthrough to the Celestial Golden Immortal Realm.]

["So that's it..." You opened your eyes. Chaos was born and destroyed within your pupils, and Taiji rotated. A vast aura surged from your body, stirring the wind and clouds. With the help of the limitless jade disc, you finally stepped into the Celestial Golden Immortal Realm. Your Divine Soul transformed, and your Physical Body transformed.]

[After your Breakthrough, you also learned the reason Daoist Taishang cultivated you: the Immortal Realm was restarting, the Heavenly Dao was undergoing Reincarnation, and it was a time for rebuilding. To repay this Karma, you left Creation Heaven and headed to the Immortal Realm.]

[You returned to the Immortal Realm. The broken mountains and rivers of the Immortal Realm were being nourished and repaired by newborn Spiritual Veins, and the surviving creatures of various races began a new round of struggle.]

[You discovered that your Master had left the Immortal Realm, and through the information they left behind, you learned that this was the result of your Senior Brother Su Ming merging his body with Reincarnation at the cost of his own existence.]

"This is no different from the result of Su Ming's previous simulation..."

Han Xuanji nodded silently.

He understood now that the Immortal Realm was very complicated.

Even the Celestial Golden Immortal Realm found it hard to escape.

Lin Feng's achievements were inseparable from the cultivation provided by Dao Venerable Taishang, involving countless schemes.

He felt there wouldn't be a good ending later on either.

After all, this Karma was immense.

[You walked among the newborn Immortal Realm. After Reincarnation restarted, the newly born creatures of the Immortal Realm had much stronger Innate talent than those of your era. Although their Innate talent was outstanding, they could only rely on instinct for cultivation.]

[You sat in quiet meditation for a hundred years atop a newborn Spiritual Mountain, watching the sun rise and set, and the clouds gather and disperse. Enlightenment gradually dawned in your heart: "The Heavenly Dao restarting is both an opportunity and a trial. If no one guides them, clarifies the Dao Path, and discerns the direction, this nascent order might once again descend into Chaos, or be exploited by Outer Demons. This responsibility of guiding all living beings... perhaps this is the meaning of my presence here, and the opportunity to step into the Primordial Limitless Realm."]

[You restrained your aura, not revealing your earth-shattering cultivation of the Celestial Golden Immortal Realm. You transformed into a Traveling Daoist, speaking of the principles of heaven and earth operation and expounding the Dao of cultivation. Your sermons were profound yet easy to understand, pointing directly to the Original Heart, often dispelling confusion and inspiring deep thought with just a few words.]

[Time flowed by; a thousand years passed in the blink of an eye. You inspired and cultivated a group of Innate beings with pure Heart-Nature and excellent Comprehension Ability. They became the initial Preachers and Order Maintainers in various regions. A loose Alliance, founded on the principles of "conforming to the Heavenly Dao, enlightening all beings, and stabilizing the Foundation," quietly formed. The atmosphere in the Immortal Realm was renewed, losing much of its restlessness and hostility, and gaining a sense of calm dedication to the Dao.]

[It came naturally; all beings were grateful, and the Heavenly Dao responded. Amidst the fervent prayers of countless creatures and the guidance of the Heavenly Dao, majestic Luck began to gather toward you, and the Laws of Heaven and Earth actively resonated with you. You did not resist but accepted it calmly. Before the eyes of the multitude, you revealed your True Body, received the Heavenly Dao Talisman Edict, and accepted the worship of ten thousand spirits.]

["Starting today, I shall shoulder the Heavenly Dao, follow the will of the people, govern Heaven and Earth, enlighten all directions, and protect the peace of this Realm. I am—the Heavenly Emperor, Lin Feng!" Your voice, calm yet authoritative, spread to every corner of the Immortal Realm. This was not the seizure of power, but the assumption of responsibility, the fulfillment of popular expectation, and the will of the Great Dao. You established a new Heavenly Court, but its structure was simple and practical. Its core functions were to guide and educate, maintain the Immortal Realm's order, mediate major disputes, and record the Legacy of civilization, rather than interfering arbitrarily or making demands. You yourself mostly remained hidden in the depths of the Heavenly Court for secluded cultivation, while numerous Incarnations traveled everywhere.]

[Under your guidance, the Immortal Realm entered a period of stable and rapid development. Civilization recovered, the Dao and its Laws flourished, and all beings settled into their positions, cultivating their respective Daos. Their reverence for the Heavenly Dao and the Heavenly Emperor came from the heart. Your cultivation also grew increasingly profound and perfectly harmonious during the process of harmonizing heaven and earth and enlightening all spirits, bringing the Celestial Golden Immortal Realm close to Perfection.]

[However, the prosperity of the Immortal Realm and the vigorous aura of the nascent Heavenly Dao were like a bright lamp in the darkness, eventually attracting the greedy gaze from the depths of the Chaos. An ancient existence that wandered the Chaos, taking pleasure in devouring the Origin of Major Thousand Worlds—the "Chaos Dao Devil"—descended. This devil's strength was unfathomable, seemingly not inferior to the Demon Ancestor.]

[On this day, the Immortal Realm trembled. A terrifying demonic shadow descended upon the edge of the Immortal Realm, its aura tyrannical. It opened a massive maw capable of swallowing stars and encompassing Realms, intending to devour the entire Immortal Realm along with the Heavenly Dao! Instantly, the Immortal Realm shook, all beings panicked, and the Heavenly Dao wailed.]

[You knew you could not retreat. The only one who could protect this heaven and earth, and these countless beings, was you.]

["I am the Heavenly Emperor, and I protect all living things. This is my Heavenly Mandate." You stood in the Heavenly Court, your gaze sweeping across the Immortal Realm, across the countless beings who trusted and looked up to you, and finally toward the demonic shadow that blotted out the sky. In your eyes, there was only calm determination.]
