"... So it turns out Dragon Snakes are the blood and flesh of meridians, and the Divine Birds are the condensation of Essence Qi, both hanging upon the tree of Spirit Root, inherently one!"

At this moment, An Jing uses the Son of Heaven Method for Inner Observation of his own body, adjusting the nuances of Divine Abnormality, to integrate them at the fastest speed. During this process, he couldn’t help but lament: "Dragon Snakes, the meridians of heaven and earth. Divine Birds, the clarity of heaven and the murk of earth."

"Both originate from the Divine Wood, one twines around the branches, the other perches at the treetop... these Dragon Birds, they have actually been one family since ancient times."

"You better not say this out loud anywhere else. If you do, both Ancestral Dragon Hall and Heavenly Phoenix Nest will come hang you up and thrash you."

Subdue Evil shakes his head: "During the time in the Dao Courtyard, I remember these two sides quarreling daily, fighting monthly, and causing trouble annually, even almost leading to a great Dragon Phoenix Calamity."

"You sure remember the gossip quite clearly," An Jing commented. "Why don’t I see Subdue Evil recalling other serious matters?"

"Who says this isn’t serious!" Subdue Evil stated firmly, "I even vaguely remember why they started fighting in the first place... It appears they indeed were originally one family..."

"Wait."

In the midst of speaking, with a sudden frown, Subdue Evil steadied his spirit then exclaimed in surprise: "There’s a Heavenly Demon—A Heavenly Demon has come to disrupt the Dao!"

"Oh? Is that so?"

An Jing was also surprised, he thought the Enlightenment State was absolutely safe: "A Heavenly Demon can disturb even the Enlightenment?"

"Normally, it shouldn’t, but with the current state of Embracing the Void, it’s not surprising." Subdue Evil sighed, "But don’t worry, you’ve already realized what you need to, and next..."

"Let’s play along with it." An Jing narrowed his eyes, interested: "I want to see, just what kind of Heavenly Demon can disturb Enlightenment!"

Three breaths later, An Jing watched as the remnants of the Heavenly Demon and Mysterious Primordial Qi dissipated before his Divine Sense, puzzled: "What is this? Are Heavenly Demons this fragile?"

Just now, he intended to follow the direction from which the Heavenly Demon attacked, to observe its intentions.

If possible, An Jing also planned to see where exactly the Heavenly Demon invaded from within himself, disturbing the Enlightenment.

Yet, as his Divine Sense approached, the Heavenly Demons rushed towards him, colliding with his Soul and Spirit. Then, one by one, they shattered like eggs against stone, utterly breaking apart.

At first, An Jing thought it was some sort of sacrificial ploy and was on high alert for a while. But finding that these Heavenly Demons neither revived nor were sacrificed, and even the fragments turned into Mysterious Primordial Qi, he confirmed that the Heavenly Demon’s disruption... had ended.

It was too comical, An Jing couldn’t hold back and burst into laughter: "Is that it? Are Heavenly Demons just a joke?"

No wonder he felt unthreatened when Enlightenment began.

The Heavenly Demons did not find it funny at all.

[...What is that?]

In the Netherworld, from Iron Li’s Iron Cavalry forces, the ’True Demon Envoy’ who had disappeared also sensed the message returning to his mind puzzledly: [This isn’t right... It shouldn’t be like this...]

Although during the process of disruption, the power of Heavenly Demons also diminishes, from being able to annihilate Martial Artists through Martial Force to only being able to interfere with thoughts and speech, considering that most Martial Artists capable of Enlightenment can outperform Heavenly Demons of the same rank, naturally, disrupting thought processes is more cost-effective.

But the True Demon Envoy had never encountered a situation where the disruption was discovered right from the start and all involved were shattered.

[Can’t interfere? Could it be because of Subdue Evil? But even with ’Subdue Evil’, it shouldn’t be able to do this, at most it would be deflected...]

The True Demon Envoy was quite confused at this moment, the glint in his eyes flickering several times, clearly, many different thoughts were fiercely debating.

Not just humans, even Heavenly Demons knew, the present state of Embracing the Void was very, very strange.

They are unable to infect any lifeless object in this world, the Demonic Qi simply can’t corrode, or transform any Spiritual Objects between heaven and earth. This is because the omnipresent ’Great Demon Demonic Qi’ between heaven and earth has blocked them from those objects.

"""

The vast demonic Qi that fills Huan Xu originates from the Nameless Heavenly Demon who perished during the Demon Calamity. This monstrous demonic energy has corrupted the heavens and earth of the Huai Xu Realm, yet only halfway, preventing other Heavenly Demons from intervening, as any contact would cause backlash.

This peculiar and unique situation, like other beings in the Huai Xu Realm, instills a fear of the accumulated demonic Qi in the heavens and earth.

But why does An Jing also exhibit a similar situation? The demonic Qi on him is not only ancient but also very foreign. Rather than suggesting possession by some Ancient Great Demon, it seems... more like possession by a Heavenly Demon from another world!?

Regardless of whether An Jing is possessed by an Ancient Heavenly Demon or a Heavenly Demon from another world... Shouldn’t his response be to repel them rather than shatter them?

[Something’s wrong, is there a problem with Subdue Evil? Or is this An Jing really different?]

Neither An Jing nor Subdue Evil knows that the Heavenly Demons, due to these particular signs, have grown suspicious of them.

Even if they did know, An Jing and the others have no solution—as their uniqueness, whether it’s the existence of Subdue Evil or the Tianyuan Realm, is evident anyway, and they cannot hide it. They might as well let the Heavenly Demons guess blindly.

After slaying this group of minor Heavenly Demons that came as if delivering themselves, An Jing feels his Enlightenment nearing completion, but with some time left, he decides to use it to deduce the urgently needed Divine Skills.

And the Skills to be deduced start with his two Fate Pattern Divine Skills.

An Jing’s "Condensing Qi into Soldiers" essentially involves Heart Soldiers, situated in the heart palace and stemming from Mars. For the most part, An Jing uses it to form weapons for slaughter or other more handy weapons to fight enemies. Even if his weapon breaks, he can quickly reshape another.

However, An Jing also realizes that there’s a limit to how many Qi Soldiers he can condense at one time—if he could instantly condense a batch of weaker Qi Soldiers and use the Soldier Bomb Skill to propel them, then who needs gunnery or Sword Boxes? He would be a massive rocket-like Qi Soldier launcher!

Driven by An Jing’s strong desire, the power of Fate Pattern Enlightenment stimulates the evolution of Divine Skills, allowing An Jing to clearly sense a heaven-sent skill: he can multitask to instantly condense a vast array of differently shaped Qi Soldiers!

—Divine Skill, [Condensing Qi into Soldiers·Deriving Hundred Soldiers]!

In an instant, at the center of the battlefield, around An Jing’s true body, those swirling Weapon Fiends suddenly surged rapidly, transforming in their rotation into countless bizarre weapons—be it swords, axes, spears, halberds, armors, or Sword Boxes and landmines, or even rocket missiles... Incredibly diverse, causing all the surrendering Iron Cavalry and the watching Da Chen Martial Army to gasp in astonishment!

"... I always felt it was not only responding to my longing for Skills but also to my desire to pretend to be a Soldier Master. The Heavenly Dao is truly omnipotent."

An Jing’s expression is somewhat strange because he immediately realizes that the Heavenly Dao’s perception of his desires might be deeper than he imagined.

Because at this moment, he discovers that if he encounters the situation again where people like Virtuous King Gu Yunzhi, You Ruhui, and Chenyinzi are possessing his body, he can now multitask and communicate with everyone without confusing their identities!

At this moment, the final moments of Enlightenment are almost over, and An Jing is in no hurry but uses this last bit of power to refine a technique he had mastered long ago.

That is the commonly used method of An Jing’s "Dissolving Troops into Spirit," which involves using surrounding Weapon Fiends and Gold Fiends to condense a massive spiritual weapon for attack.

An Jing uses this method instinctively, and despite that, its power is still remarkably substantial. Since this is the case, why not refine this technique’s details through the hand of Heavenly Dao to make it less costly and more powerful?

Everything goes smoothly. With the enlightenment from Heavenly Dao, An Jing quickly identifies some exaggerated and wasteful elements within his skill, refining what was originally instinctual into a flawless technique!

—Divine Skill, [Dissolving Troops into Spirit·Slaying Thousands of Soldiers]!

Furthermore, An Jing also realizes that this technique of condensing massive spiritual weapons from the power of Heaven and Earth fundamentally shares the same origin as the Divine Demon Battle Body skill controlled by the Iron Cavalry Martial Generals, which transforms the power of military fiends into a divine demon battle body!

But while the Divine Demon Battle Body constructs the body, this technique constructs weapons. Both are actually parts of one Great Divine Power. If they could be combined, their fighting capability would be more than just the sum of parts!

With this, the Enlightenment process is completely concluded.

The scale of this Enlightenment is beyond imagination. An Jing even feels that he used up the portion allocated for changing the destinies of Linjiang City residents and a few Demon Spirits.

Thus, he directly grasps and cultivates [Heaven and Earth Root], nearly perfecting [Heaven’s Virtue], advancing his body to the Martial Meridian realm, and also refining his mastery over Divine Skills, acquiring both ’Deriving Hundred Soldiers’ and ’Slaying Thousands of Soldiers’ techniques!

But the more profound these realizations, the tighter An Jing feels inside: "Damn, who am I supposed to fight next?"

"Heavenly Dao is forcibly enhancing my combat realm... Could it really be sending Divine Repository for me to battle?!"
