Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin: I Set Taboos in the Heavens

"Now that you're here, don't rush to leave. I'm still missing some holy marks."

In the chaotic land, Fang Qing spoke calmly, his words carrying a murderous intent.

The Holy Mark is the condensation and sublimation of a Great Saint's lifelong cultivation, understanding of laws, and life essence, containing the imprint of the Holy Path.

For Fang Qing, who had also touched the threshold of the path to sainthood, or was even about to break through, the saintly marks of the nine senior Great Saints were undoubtedly the most top-tier and suitable supplements and "stepping stones".
"Insanity!"

"Junior is seeking death!"

"Do you really think you can trap us with this Chaotic Mystic Realm?!"

The nine Great Sages were filled with shock and rage, but more so with a furious rage and murderous intent at being provoked by ants. Having roamed freely for so many years, when had they ever been so scorned?

Even in this strange environment, they absolutely refused to believe that a mere youth who wasn't even a Great Sage could truly threaten the combined efforts of the nine of them.

The elder at the head of the group flashed a fierce look on his face and quickly formed hand seals: "Fellow Daoists, do not be intimidated by his bluff. This boy is merely relying on the advantages of the secret realm and that fragment to cheat. Let us join forces, use brute force to overcome his trickery, and crush him directly. Let us form the Nine Stars Linked to Break the Boundary Array!"

"it is good!"

The other eight Great Sages responded in unison, their auras instantly connecting. They took their positions according to the Nine Palaces, and nine powerful holy energies soared into the sky, intertwining and merging in the air to transform into nine enormous spheres of light as dazzling as real stars.

The sphere of light spun, emitting terrifying fluctuations that tore through space and annihilated all laws, and then relentlessly ground down on Fang Qing, who was surrounded by chaotic primordial energy.

This is a combined attack formation of nine Great Sages. They intend to use their absolute power advantage to forcefully break through the interference of the Chaos Secret Realm and completely annihilate Fang Qing.

Faced with this combined attack that would make even ordinary peak Great Saints change color, Fang Qing's eyes grew even more profound.

Instead of retreating, he took a step forward.

"Chaotic Realm, heed my command!"

Fang Qing uttered ancient and obscure syllables, which directly communicated with the primordial will of this world.

"Use the primordial heart as a guide to awaken the dormant guardian array."

Rumble!
The entire Chaos Secret Realm trembled violently like never before.

It's no longer the kind of localized activity we saw before; now the entire secret realm is resonating with it.

Endless chaotic primordial energy, like billions of soldiers receiving a king's command, surged wildly from every corner of the secret realm, every inch of space, and even from those dilapidated buildings and ancient corpses.

They began to rapidly circulate, arrange, and combine according to some ancient array that had long been engraved deep within the foundation of the secret realm.

Centered on Fang Qing, the chaotic primordial energy within a radius of a thousand miles instantly solidified a hundred thousand times, transforming into a viscous, glue-like chaotic ocean.

The nine suppressed star orbs of light, once they entered the range of this chaotic ocean, immediately dropped a hundredfold in speed, as if they had sunk into the most terrifying gravitational quagmire in the universe.

The light and chains of laws on the surface of the sphere of light came into contact with the chaotic primordial energy, emitting a hissing sound of intense friction and dissolution, and its power diminished at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"what?!"

"How can this be?"

"This formation... is incredibly ancient and terrifying!"

"My holy power is being rapidly depleted!"

The nine Great Sages' expressions finally changed. They sensed that their connection with the formation was being forcibly disrupted by a more powerful and primordial chaotic will.

Even more terrifying is that their own holy power and even their life force are being slowly and steadily eroded by the omnipresent and all-pervasive chaotic primordial energy around them.

"Don't panic! Concentrate your power and attack his main body! The core of the formation must be that kid!"

The old man shouted sharply, forcibly calming his mind. He relinquished some control over the Nine Star Light Sphere, instead pointing his fingers like a sword, gathering all his life's cultivation, and pointing a finger at Fang Qing from afar.

"Shattering Star Finger!"

A fine, grayish-white finger strike, condensed to its extreme and as thin as a hair, contained the power to pierce through stars and shatter laws, like a poisonous thorn piercing through the void, aimed directly at Fang Qing's brow.

This is his signature move, which he once used to shatter stars in an opposing dimension with a single finger.

The other Great Sages followed suit, each displaying their unique skills: flashing blades, sword shadows, fist imprints, palm winds, and phantom images of magical treasures...

Seven or eight equally terrifying attacks bypassed the thickest part of the chaotic ocean in front of him, striking Fang Qing's vital points from different angles with tricky trajectories.

They were experienced in combat and knew that the most effective way to deal with the manipulator of the formation was to behead him.

However, they still underestimated Fang Qing's current state, and... the true power of the fragment of the Primordial Heart in his hand.

Faced with this deadly attack from multiple Great Sages, Fang Qing did not even make any defensive or evasive moves. His mind was deeply immersed in the fusion with the fragments of the Primordial Heart and the frantic refining of the Primordial Blood Qi surging into his body.

The fragment, pressed against his chest, had now melted away, transforming into a thick, heavy, blood-red torrent of energy. This torrent of energy exuded an aura of creation, continuously flowing into Fang Qing's body.

This energy is the primordial power contained in the fragments of the Primordial Heart, the "blood" and "essence" of the Primordial Ancient Continent.

Each strand was as heavy as a mountain, enough to crush peaks and fill rivers; the primordial energy contained within was extremely pure, encompassing all things.
Whether it's Yin and Yang, the Five Elements, or the primordial chaos, whether it's the vast universe, or the rudimentary laws governing the sun, moon, and stars, it encompasses almost everything.

Ordinary cultivators, even those at the peak of the ninth transformation of the legendary realm, would have their meridians rupture, their dantian explode, and their souls annihilated if they inhaled even a trace of it, dying a gruesome death. But Fang Qing was an exception.

He cultivates the "Great Five Elements Technique" of the Immortal Realm. This great divine power is the supreme method of evolution, control, and refinement of the vast majority of energy in the world.

The five elements rotate and can transform into myriad energies.

Although this primordial blood energy is domineering, it is still within the scope of the Five Elements and can be gradually decomposed and absorbed by the Five Elements True Qi.

Secondly, Fang Qing indicated that he could also learn the Great Chaos Technique, which would be sufficient for him to absorb the primordial power originating from the beginning of chaos and the mother energy of all things.

The Great Five Elements Technique decomposes attributes, while the Great Chaos Technique encompasses the origin.

The combination of these two factors, along with his powerful physique and soul deeply resonating with the origin of the plane, blessed by the wishes of all living beings, and the domineering nature of the Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Technique that suppresses and refines everything, made him a freak in this world who could absorb and refine the power of the fragments of the Primordial Heart at the legendary realm.

"boom!"

As the primordial blood and vital energy entered his body, Fang Qing's body trembled violently. Under the impact of this vast power, his meridians were constantly reorganized and widened, eventually becoming like miniature star tunnels, incredibly resilient.

His dantian (energy center) had long since transformed into a strange inner world where chaos had just begun and the five elements had begun to separate, frantically devouring primordial energy.

His internal organs were each infused with different types of primordial energy.

The heart belongs to fire, the liver to wood, the spleen to earth, the lungs to metal, and the kidneys to water, each evolving into a miniature world of the five elements.

Even his sea of ​​consciousness, nourished and impacted by this power, continued to expand and stabilize, with the phantom images of the sun, moon, and stars beginning to appear within it, and the veins of mountains and rivers faintly emerging.

The Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Force was activated to its maximum extent.

Each cycle of the celestial sphere is like a giant whale sucking in water, devouring a massive amount of primordial blood and vital energy.

The 840 million void orbits formed by the cultivation technique greedily absorbed these most primitive and extremely high-level energies, causing the quality of the true qi to transform at an astonishing speed.

The illusory image of the divine elephant existing within the realm of cultivation technique also solidified slightly, emitting a joyful yet majestic silent roar.

Fang Qing's cultivation level, under this extreme state of internal and external attacks, skyrocketed like a rocket, heading towards the level of a half-saint and then towards a great saint.

Meanwhile, the attacks from the Great Sages finally arrived outside.

The first thing to arrive was the Shattering Star Finger Force! It carried an all-piercing sharpness and stabbed three inches in front of Fang Qing's brow.

However, at that moment, a slowly rotating chaotic vortex spontaneously appeared between Fang Qing's eyebrows.

The force shot into the vortex, but it was like a mud ox entering the sea, not even causing a ripple. It was swallowed up and decomposed, turning into the purest energy, which actually replenished Fang Qing's consumption.

Immediately following, flashes of blades, sword shadows, fist imprints, palm winds, and phantom images of magical artifacts... came one after another.

However, without exception, they were all easily blocked by an automatically appearing eggshell-shaped light shield when they came within a ten-foot radius of Fang Qing's body.

The light shield may appear thin, but it contains the power of the entire Chaotic Realm, making it indestructible.

"This...how is this possible?!"

"His aura... is increasing at an alarming rate!"

"He's using the pressure of our attacks to refine that fragment!"

We can't let him succeed!

The nine Great Sages finally realized the seriousness and strangeness of the matter, and an unprecedented chill rose in their hearts.

But at that moment, Fang Qing gently raised her right hand.

"Returning to the origin of chaos, refining sainthood."

As he clenched his five fingers, the entire thousand-mile-long chaotic ocean instantly contracted and solidified. It was as if the whole world was collapsing, and countless terrifying arrays were activated. The power of these arrays had surpassed that of a Great Sage and reached the legendary Heavenly Realm.

"No!"

"Spare your life!"

"I am willing to submit!"

The nine Great Sages let out their final desperate cries and pleas for mercy, but it was all too late.

Their bodies, the energy they unleashed, and even their sacred souls and sacred marks were rapidly dissolved and decomposed under the dual refinement of the power of chaos and the fragments of the Primordial Heart.

Just three breaths!

The chaotic sphere of light suddenly contracted, transforming into a sacred pill the size of a walnut. This sacred pill was crystal clear, with nine subtle sacred marks flowing inside, radiating boundless sacred power and the aura of pure laws.

The nine great saints who were powerful enough to shake the continent when they joined forces have vanished without a trace, completely erasing them from the world, leaving only this "elixir" that embodied everything they had.

Fang Qing held the Chaos Saint Pill in his hand, feeling its vast power and the nine complete Saint Marks within, and a look of joy appeared on his face.

"Next, it's time to break through to the Great Sage realm." (End of Chapter)
