Strange Era: An exclusive talent every month.

The spiritual energy of the world was frantically extracted, forming a huge vortex of spiritual energy covering thousands of miles, which poured down!

Above the shattered sky, the vortex of tribulation clouds, containing endless destructive will, let out a resentful roar and began to... slowly dissipate!
At the center of the calamity clouds, a staircase-like phantom composed purely of dazzling golden light flashed by, seemingly connecting to an unfathomable supreme realm, before disappearing.

At the core of that boundless divine light, a figure slowly emerged. It was no longer an illusory Dharma form, but Chen Ye's true form!
He hovered in the void, his eyes closed, with no energy emanating from his body, yet he exuded a terrifying pressure that made all things in heaven and earth instinctively submit and made the laws of nature tremble.

Beneath his skin, there were faint, mysterious Dao traces interwoven with crimson gold and dark purple, and every pore seemed to be breathing in and out the aura of life and death.

The Dao Body of Nirvana and Destiny is initially formed!
The terrifying vortex of spiritual energy, which covered thousands of miles, finally let out a long, distant cry after pouring the last pure, tangible ray of spiritual light into Chen Ye's body. Like an ancient whale returning to the sea, it slowly calmed down and dissipated into nothingness.

The shattered sky, no longer shrouded by the clouds of calamity, revealed a deep and boundless starry sky. Starlight scattered down, carrying a sense of tranquility after the catastrophe, yet also containing a deeper level of awe.

The vortex of tribulation clouds, containing endless destructive will, vanished completely as the illusory golden staircase disappeared, leaving only a lingering echo of unwilling will, like the whimper of a defeated one, which trembled for a moment at the level of laws before finally falling silent.

The world seemed to have had all its wrinkles smoothed out by an invisible hand, restoring order.

At the center where the boundless divine light had once converged, Chen Ye's true form was fully revealed.

He seemed to have existed in that void since time immemorial, his face calm and undisturbed, his eyes still closed. The earth-shattering Dharma form of the past had long since vanished without a trace. At this moment, his figure did not appear particularly imposing; rather, he possessed a sense of simple, unadorned ordinariness.

However, it is precisely this “ordinariness” that makes the whole world hold its breath.

There was no outward radiance of energy, no earth-shattering burst of power.

He hovered there silently, his skin flowing with profound Daoist marks interwoven with crimson gold and dark purple. These marks were not etched on the surface, but deeply embedded within his flesh and bones, faintly emanating like countless miniature galaxies surging ceaselessly within his veins. Every pore was breathing in a way beyond comprehension; each breath seemed to tug at the boundary between life and death. The surrounding void, in rhythm with his breathing, exhibited subtle collapses and rebirths, a cycle that endlessly repeated, where annihilation and vitality achieved a harmonious unity.

This is the Dao Body of Annihilation!
With the power of annihilation as its bones and the mechanism of destiny as its soul, it is born from the fusion of countless eons and carries the supreme foundation of unpredictable fate!

Time seemed to stand still for a long time at this moment.

When Chen Ye's tightly closed eyelids trembled slightly and opened a crack, two indescribable beams of light suddenly flashed out.

Deep within the pupil of his left eye, it seemed as if crimson-gold lava flowed, containing the annihilating fire that could burn everything; in his right eye, there was a deep, dark purple aura, like a black hole that devoured all light, filled with the destiny to end all things.

The brilliance flashed by and then subsided, returning to a profound tranquility, like the chaotic origin of the universe at its beginning.

"call……"

A long, drawn-out breath escaped from Chen Ye's mouth. The sound was extremely faint, yet in the instant it rang out, it stirred the most primal power in the world!
Buzz! ! !
Buzz! ! !
Within a radius of ten thousand miles, all the tangible and intangible lines of law, as if being plucked by an invisible giant hand, resonated together with an extremely grand sound!

Mountains bowed their heads in awe, valleys trembled, and rivers flowed backward for a moment!
Countless ancient beings and powerful creatures who had been cultivating in seclusion were forcibly awakened from their deepest meditation at this moment, and an uncontrollable tremor and sense of submission welled up in their hearts.

"This is... the resonance of laws?!" Wu Nian looked astonished, not expecting Chen Ye to reach such a level, which completely exceeded his expectations.

Even Daoist Yuxu was shocked, unable to imagine that Chen Ye could reach such a realm after passing the test of the Annihilation Thunder Tribulation, which made him seem extremely extraordinary.

Chen Ye was unaware of the enormous waves that his breath had stirred up in the outside world.

His mind was immersed in the perception of the earth-shattering changes within himself.

Consciousness sank into the body.

Its bones are like jade, yet they are imprinted with countless fine red-gold runes, exuding an eternally hard texture;
The blood flowed like mercury, heavy and viscous, each drop containing astonishing energy and vigorous vitality, yet deep within it flowed a dark purple divine light symbolizing the end;
The five internal organs are no longer ordinary organs, but have transformed into five miniature universes of different shapes, corresponding to the five elements, and evolving endlessly in the cycle of extinction and life.

The meridians expand like a galaxy, become as resilient as a dragon's bones, and flow not with qi, but with a torrent of Dao principles condensed to the extreme.

The most core dantian and qi sea disappeared, replaced by a boundless chaotic sea!
Crimson gold and dark purple light intertwined, collided, and merged in this chaotic sea, each fusion giving birth to a new and more powerful chaotic energy.

At the center of the Chaos Sea lies a perfectly round and flawless crystallized rune, almost tangible—the core imprint of the Silent Destiny Dao Body!

His divine sense was stronger than ever before; with the slightest thought, the entire landscape was reflected in the lake of his mind.

The breath of every blade of grass and tree, the flow of the earth's veins, the falling starlight, and even the subtle folds of space itself were all clearly presented in his perception.

This is no longer a simple "seeing" or "hearing," but a kind of "understanding," an intuitive grasp of the most fundamental laws that constitute the world.

He tried to lift one finger.

Without using any magical power, relying solely on the strength of the physical body and the subtle influence of the laws of space.

Click!

The space in front of my fingertips, like a fragile glass mirror, instantly spread with countless spiderweb-like black cracks!

Pure physical strength has actually reached the point of shattering the void!
This was not caused by brute force, but by the annihilating power contained in the fingertips, which instantly annihilated the "existence" order of that small space!
Around the spatial rift, tiny, vibrant green specks of light appeared out of thin air, like sparks of life at the dawn of creation, rapidly repairing the damaged spatial structure. This was a natural manifestation of the power of birth and death under the influence of the Dao Body.

"The Destiny of Annihilation... So that's how it is."

Chen Ye's understanding deepened. This Dao body was born with the power of destruction and creation; it was the balancer and the judge. Annihilation was not merely annihilation, but the end of the old order, clearing the world for the birth of new life!
Destiny is not a predetermined shackle, but rather a torrent of opportunities containing infinite possibilities. Only when the two merge can the true essence of the Great Way be revealed.

"This is too powerful! Is this the level one can reach after comprehending the Annihilation Lightning Tribulation? It's beyond my imagination!"

Zhiyin took a deep breath and reached the nameless statue where the Annihilation Thunder Tribulation was located to comprehend the Dharma form. The level that Chen Ye was able to achieve completely exceeded his imagination, and he could not understand how he could reach such a level in such a short time.

It is conceivable that Chen Ye's current level of achievement has completely exceeded everyone's expectations.

now.

Chen Ye sat cross-legged on the ground. The aura emanating from the Annihilation Lightning Tribulation was completely beyond imagination, as if he had reached a very high realm, where mountains were not mountains and water was not water.

Time seemed to stand still for a long time at this moment.

As Chen Ye's tightly closed eyelids trembled slightly, and a crack appeared in the air, two indescribable beams of light suddenly flashed forth. Deep within his left pupil, it seemed as if crimson-gold lava flowed, containing the annihilating fire that could consume all things; in his right eye, a profound, dark purple aura emanated, like a black hole devouring all light, permeated with the destiny to end all things. This radiance vanished in an instant, then receded, returning to a profound stillness, like the primordial chaos at the beginning of the universe.

"call……"

A long, drawn-out breath escaped from Chen Ye's mouth. The sound was extremely faint, yet in the instant it rang out, it stirred the most primal power in the world!
hum! ! !
Within a radius of ten thousand miles, all the tangible and intangible lines of law, as if being plucked by an invisible giant hand, resonated together with an extremely grand sound!

Mountains bowed their heads in awe, valleys trembled, and rivers flowed backward for a moment!
Countless ancient beings and powerful creatures who had been cultivating in seclusion were forcibly awakened from their deepest meditation at this moment, and an uncontrollable tremor and sense of submission welled up in their hearts.

Chen Ye was unaware of the enormous waves that his breath had stirred up in the outside world.

His mind was immersed in the perception of the earth-shattering changes within himself.

Centered on Chen Ye, no vortex formed, but the spiritual energy of heaven and earth within a radius of thousands of miles seemed to be under the command of an absolute monarch! They no longer followed the natural flow, but instead acted in a more direct and domineering way!

Space collapse!

Within a hundred miles of Chen Ye, the space was like a depression in the water, forming countless tiny, inward-collapsed "spiritual energy funnels"!
Massive amounts of the purest essence of the sun and moon, the power of stars, and the spiritual energy of the earth veins were forcibly extracted and compressed by these spatial funnels, transforming into visible torrents of seven-colored energy. Ignoring distance, they instantly crossed the void and poured directly into the boundless chaotic sea within Chen Ye's body!

This scene was even more bizarre and terrifying than the previous vortex. There was no sound of wind or thunder, only a silent image of space being forcibly distorted and spiritual energy being violently plundered.

The world seemed to lose its color in an instant, and the light became dim. Only Chen Ye and the spatial funnel around him, which was constantly collapsing and then instantly repaired by the power of life, became the sole focus of this world.

He was like a chaotic black hole rooted in the void, swallowing the essence of the entire world!
"The Dao Body evolves spontaneously... swallowing the universe!" Daoist Yuxu gasped, his hand unconsciously clenching the whisk until his knuckles turned white. "This is not a deliberate spellcasting, but rather the spontaneous replenishment of the primordial energy of heaven and earth towards a 'higher-ranking' being as the Dao Body is newly formed and its foundation is unstable! His very existence has begun to distort the rules of this world!"

Wu Nian's gaze was fixed on Zhiyin, who was struggling in pain, and then on Chen Ye, who was devouring spiritual energy like a chaotic demon god. His eyes were filled with unprecedented solemnity.

He knew that an even bigger storm was coming.

Such an earth-shattering phenomenon, like the most dazzling lighthouse in the darkest night, is enough to attract the true giants lurking deep within this continent and even other realms!

On the eastern horizon, the clouds parted silently, and an ancient warship, as massive as a mountain and carved entirely from millennia-old ice, slowly emerged. At the bow stood a woman clad in ice crystal armor, her face as cold and stern as ten thousand years of ice. Her deep gaze pierced through the void, locking firmly onto Chen Ye.

Deep in the far north, atop a black pyramid that had been silent for countless years, a huge, murky vertical pupil opened, concealing a destructive storm.

In the endless fiery domain of the south, magma boiled and churned, coalescing into a towering, earth-shattering phantom of a giant of fire, emitting a deep, thunderous roar…

The manifestation of the Dao of Nirvana in the world is like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, capable of changing its course.

Covetousness, greed, fear, murderous intent... countless complex and powerful wills intertwined across space, and this sky, which had just undergone the baptism of the Annihilation Thunder Tribulation, was once again shrouded in an invisible storm. The storm was brewing, and the wind was already blowing.

Chen Ye slowly withdrew his clenched hand, and the spatial collapse that had been devouring spiritual energy subsided. He seemed completely unaware of the powerful will projected from all directions, his gaze calmly fixed on the deep starry sky ahead.

He clearly sensed that the chaotic sea within his body had become even more vast and profound after absorbing a massive amount of pure primordial energy, and the core imprint of the Dao body at its center had become increasingly solid and brilliant.

At the same time, he also clearly "heard" a subtle yet continuous "rejection" and "wailing" coming from the laws of this world itself.

The Annihilation Heavenly Mandate Dao Body is, after all, too heaven-defying; its very existence challenges the limits of this world.

"Alright, we should now set foot on the sacred mountain, in a place that is even more extraordinary!"

Upon reaching this level, Zhiyin and the others were all astonished. They couldn't imagine that Chen Ye had reached such an exaggerated level, that he could actually reach such a powerful height. It seemed that he could indeed climb to an even higher height on the Holy Mountain to experience different realms of laws!
Chen Ye concealed his aura, a look of joy appearing on his face, and said:
"It's fortunate that you brought me to this place of comprehending the laws. It's really quite remarkable that I can comprehend such different laws."

"Of course!"

Zhiyin smiled and said, "To be able to obtain so many opportunities in this place of comprehending the laws, that is no easy feat."

"Let's keep going, we'll definitely be able to grasp all the laws of this place, and then we'll move on to another area."

"Another area? What is that place?" Chen Ye couldn't help but ask.

"That place is called Spirit Void Cave, an area where light spirits live. You should be able to capture unique light spirits there." (End of Chapter)
