Reversing Falsehood and Preserving Truth: All Gods and Gods Are in My Hands

Shen Che broke through to the 6th-star Fusion Dao Realm, and the Great Dao and his divine soul began to merge, bringing about a qualitative change far beyond imagination. He transformed into a black shadow, deeper than darkness itself, and burst into this desolate land as if tearing through a curtain.

However, even faster than his figure was the "being" that detached itself beside him. It was no longer a blurry shadow, but a highly solidified battle spirit—the Shadow Hunter Battle Spirit!

It moved without a sound, like a ghost gliding between reality and shadow, without disturbing the air itself.

"hiss--!"

The giant foot, hovering less than half a foot above Zhao Lei's chest, suddenly froze in place. The Shadow Hunter War Spirit, arriving late but arriving first, deflected at an angle that defied the laws of physics. Its shadowy blade, like a viper's tongue, precisely pierced the gap between the giant foot and the torso—coincidentally, it was precisely a gap where the energy of the Great Dao flowed.

There was no deafening roar, only a hissing sound of flesh tearing apart. The dark golden avenue patterns instantly dimmed and collapsed. The destructive energy carried by the shadow blades flowed backward along the patterns. The massive body of the "Solid Wall" ethereal being convulsed violently, its iron-like muscles exploding from the inside. Its entire right leg was forcibly severed, and foul-smelling illusory fluid spurted out, only to be completely swallowed by the shadows.

Without pausing, the Shadow Hunter's battle spirit swept its blood-red eyes and locked onto the "fangs" that were lunging at Su Wan. Its body blurred, transforming into a black streak that skimmed along the ground.

Sensing a deadly threat, "Fang" abandoned its prey, turned, and swung its claws. The bone spikes whistled through the air as they struck, but missed—the battle spirit had already teleported to the side of its neck and slashed down with its twin blades.

"Sizzle!"

Without any further collision, the sharp blade pierced through the viscous texture as easily as cutting tofu. Dark red illusory energy surged forth instantly. The "Fang" ethereal spirit didn't even have time to roar before its body broke off at the node. Its upper body crashed heavily to the ground, twitched twice, and then became completely lifeless.

This is no shadow clone; it is clearly a pure killing life form! The vitality of the plants and trees in the Shennong Secret Realm is deeply integrated with the Shadow Hunting Dao, which not only retains its extreme speed and sharpness, but also adds a bit more of a fierce and relentless courage. There is no hesitation in its movements, and every strike is aimed straight at the vital point.

In the blink of an eye, two enhanced ethereal beings perished!

The Shadow Hunter War Spirit was dim and exhausted, turning into specks of shadow and dissipating into the air, but it had managed to stabilize the collapsing defense line.

"So fast!" Chen Mo's pupils shrank suddenly.

"Take the wounded and retreat!" Shen Che arrived in his true form, stepping through the shadows, his voice as cold as ice, as he took a step forward.

"Buzz—!"

Centered on him, an even more powerful Shadow Hunting Force spread like a tide. Several black shadows sprang up from the ground, turning into chains that bound the remaining "Fangs'" limbs, and then condensing into an arc-shaped shield to block the heavy blows of "Iron Wall's" bone hammer.

He stood in the center of the battlefield, his eyes as cold as ice. His sixth-star Dao Fusion Realm soul had completely merged with the Great Dao, greatly reducing the consumption of Shadow Hunting Power while exponentially increasing his control over it: "Lin Yue, take the wounded and retreat to a safe area! Liu Jiaqi, focus on healing them! Zhao Changfeng, wipe out the human armed forces! Sun Ruliang, coordinate with the branch office and headquarters to seal off the outer perimeter of Shennong Mountain!"

Lin Yue's lush green vines grew wildly, quickly dragging Zhao Lei, Su Wan, Han Bingshuo, and the two Watchers outside the cave. Liu Jiaqi unleashed healing light from her hands as if it were free, first stabilizing Han Bingshuo's terrible shoulder wound and heart meridian, then hurriedly checking the horrific, charred, and sunken wound on Zhao Lei's chest, her face pale: "The injury is too severe! We can only stabilize him for now!"

Zhao Changfeng's pent-up frustration finally erupted. The wind blade in his palm was several times more condensed than before, gleaming with a cold, bluish light. He seemed about to charge forward for hand-to-hand combat, but instead, he suddenly ducked, using Shen Che's shadow as cover, and darted behind a man in black like a cheetah. The wind blade precisely sliced ​​across the man's throat, and blood gushed out. The man in black didn't even have time to turn around before he fell straight down.

"Damn it, I'm dying to breathe!" He spat, his eyes still blazing with anger, but his movements were incredibly swift. Clearly, the pent-up frustration in the secret realm was being released in full force. However, this seemingly reckless yet actually sneaky attack made his strikes even more unpredictable...

Deep within the Shennong Secret Realm, the atmosphere by the pool is so tranquil that it brings peace of mind.

Lu Yu sat cross-legged on the bluestone, his eyes closed, as countless alchemy-related information surged through his mind like a tide.

From the taboos of common herbal combinations to the processing methods of ancient spiritual plants, from the principal, assistant, and adjuvant ingredients in healing elixirs to the secrets of divine elixirs that harmonize multiple aspects, a dense array of knowledge rapidly settles and integrates under the nurturing of the Hundred Herbs Cauldron.

The medicine cauldron in his dantian trembled slightly, and the grass and wood patterns engraved on the cauldron lit up with a soft blue light, resonating with the spiritual plant returning to its origin in his body. This transformed the obscure prescription into a direct energy flow trajectory, making him instantly clear-headed.

"So that's how it is... The five divine ingredients need to be put into the cauldron in the order of the five elements: wood generates fire, fire generates earth, earth generates metal, metal generates water, and water generates wood..." Lu Yu's lips curled up in relief, and his fingertips subconsciously gathered the light green power of a hundred herbs, which echoed the blue light of the medicine cauldron, and he could vaguely simulate the starting posture of refining medicine.

Not far away, Jiang Heng sat cross-legged, his body radiating a vibrant green light like flames. The power of the herbal origins transmitted by Shennong surged wildly within him, repairing the damaged foundation of his Dao. His realm, which had fallen to its depletion after rescuing Lu Yu, was not only recovering at a visible speed, but also showing faint signs of a breakthrough.

His once gray hair now had a hint of black luster, the wrinkles on his face gradually smoothed out, and his aura became calm and heavy. He had returned to the peak of the 8-star Unity Realm and even touched the barrier of a higher realm, a bottleneck that he had been struggling to reach for many years.

"Thank you for your blessings, ancestor!" Jiang Heng slowly opened his eyes, his eyes filled with respect and gratitude. He bowed deeply to the phantom of Shennong on the blue stone, his posture extremely devout.

The phantom of Shennong on the bluestone became increasingly transparent, its halo dimming to the point of almost merging into the surrounding mist, yet it still carried a benevolent smile, its voice ancient and gentle: "You have been able to rediscover the Great Dao, and Lu Yu has been able to comprehend the elixir formula; my entrustment has been largely fulfilled." He raised his hand and waved, a faint yet warm blue light pointing to the depths of the pool, "This is a wisp of life force of heaven and earth that I sealed away back then, which can double the efficacy of the divine elixir and help you perfectly harmonize the Great Dao."

Before the words were finished, ripples suddenly appeared in the center of the pool, and five streams of light slowly rose from the bottom of the pool.

It is indeed the Five-Zhu Divine Medicine!

They come in various shapes, some like emerald green lotus seeds, some like glistening dewdrops, some like golden fruits, some like dark green lotus seeds, and some like silvery-white stardust. Each one radiates the pure luster of ancient spiritual plants and carries a refreshing medicinal fragrance, which are exactly the five divine ingredients needed to harmonize the two paths.

"This is... the Nine-Turn Resurrection Grass, the Dew of Dawn, the Profound Origin Fruit, the Chaos Green Lotus Seed, and the Dust of Time?" Jiang Heng's eyes narrowed, his tone filled with disbelief and shock.

The phantom of Shennong nodded slightly, its aura growing increasingly ethereal: "Quickly assist Lu Yu in refining the medicine, for my remnant soul... cannot hold on much longer."

Without further hesitation, Jiang Heng stood up and walked to Lu Yu's side. Emerald green herbal power emanated from his palm. Lu Yu opened his eyes, a glint of light flashing in them. He exchanged a glance with Jiang Heng, and the two of them looked at the floating Five-Zhu Divine Medicine and the vitality of heaven and earth deep in the pool.
