Journey to the West: I have Nine Golden Crows Inside Me
Chapter 1509 - 1004 Tao De Heavenly Venerable

Boom!

An unparalleled power exploded, making Heaven and Earth invisible at this moment, with rules and the Great Dao all turning into nothingness.

Elsewhere, twelve Merit Gold Wheels rotated, bringing forth endless Power of Reincarnation, creating layers upon layers of great worlds that constantly formed and perished, emanating a supreme power.

Twenty-four Great Divine Transcendents formed a grand formation, unleashing Divine Abilities with a power that can well be imagined. Even a Saint holding an Innate Treasure would likely be no match, much more powerful than the previous two attacks combined.

Yet even so, Jiang Chen still had confidence in blocking this Divine Ability.

Before the transformative light struck, those twelve Merit Gold Wheels behind Jiang Chen had already begun disintegrating, shattering one by one starting from the outermost wheel.

This represented the destructive aspect of The Way of Reincarnation; as the Merit Gold Wheels shattered, an unimaginable Power of Annihilation swept over, weakening the transformative divine light continuously.

By the time all twelve Merit Gold Wheels had shattered, the terrifying transformative light had already lost a significant portion of its power.

However, it wasn’t over.

Reincarnation is an endless cycle between life and death. After the aspect of destruction comes the aspect of creation.

In just a fraction of an instant, the shattered twelve Merit Gold Wheels reappeared, layers of brilliant golden light cascading down, overwhelming the transformative divine light, further weakening its power.

In less than a blink of an eye, the Merit Gold Wheels completed one cycle of reincarnation, and then, the second cycle began.

The Merit Gold Wheels continuously formed and perished, with the Power of Destruction and the Power of Creation cyclically bursting forth. Though the transformative divine light was powerful, it gradually showed signs of faltering under the continuous weakening by these two supreme forces.

The surface radiance dimmed increasingly, and the Tao patterns contained within it rapidly disintegrated. By the time it reached Jiang Chen, its form was nearing collapse, about to dissolve into nothingness.

Seeing the significantly weakened transformative divine light before him, Jiang Chen couldn’t help but exhale in relief. This most powerful strike, jointly launched by the twenty-four Great Divine Transcendents, was eventually blocked by him.

Moreover, under the pressure of these Great Divine Transcendents, his own Divine Ability also transformed, with its defensive power now many times stronger than before, enough to withstand strikes from Innate Treasures.

It’s just that there were too many Great Divine Transcendents opposing Jiang Chen, a total of twenty-four. If it were only four, Jiang Chen could stand still and let them attack, and they would still be unable to break through the defense of the Merit Gold Wheel.

"Not good!"

Suddenly, Jiang Chen’s expression drastically changed, and his previously eased heart was suspended once again. His body disappeared from its original spot instantly.

Boom!

A loud bang resounded, and the void where Jiang Chen had been suddenly shattered extensively, with rules and the Great Dao disintegrating and dissolving into nothingness in an instant.

"With your strength, to launch a sneak attack on a junior like me is rather beneath your dignity."

Standing far away, Jiang Chen’s eyes darkened as he looked towards the void ahead, his voice revealing barely concealable rage.

Just now, he was attacked by a powerful entity. Had he not dodged in time and avoided being hit, he would have at least been severely injured.

It must be said that the attacker indeed chose an excellent moment, precisely when Jiang Chen and the various Great Divine Transcendents were trading blows, giving him no opportunity to attend to anything else.

Otherwise, not to mention attacking Jiang Chen, even approaching him would have been impossible.

"Even a Star Lord’s status is above that of a Saint, someone standing at the peak of the Prehistoric World. Attacking you, where does it lose dignity?"

Following an ancient voice, the void rippled like the surface of water, and an elderly Taoist wearing a Taoist crown, holding a Taiyi Dusting Brush, dressed in a dark Taoist robe emerged before everyone.

"Daoist Heavenly Venerable!"

Seeing the arriving figure, the Great Divine Transcendents present, and even those outside observing the battle, showed shocked expressions.

Because the person wasn’t anyone else, but the Evil Corpse Daoist Heavenly Venerable of the Saint of Taiqing!

With his status, to launch a sneak attack on a junior like Jiang Chen was truly...

Eh, wait, it’s off, it turns out to be an Evil Corpse, then it’s no problem. After all, being an Evil Corpse, doing any sort of deed isn’t surprising. The ’evil’ in Evil Corpse speaks volumes about their nature, which means doing all kinds of evil deeds.

A sneak attack of this sort, what’s that to them? An Evil Corpse is precisely meant for such tasks.

Evil Corpse commits evil, thus not caring about slaughter. For them, slaughtering living beings is not evil but a way of reducing the pressure on Heaven and Earth.

This is considered kind to Heaven and Earth, but to living beings, it is the greatest evil.

Good corpses do good, and if not absolutely necessary, they would never harm human lives, even venturing to protect living beings during natural disasters.

To living beings, this is a great kindness, but to Heaven and Earth, this is a great evil.

Good corpses protect living beings, evil corpses slaughter living beings, it sounds contradictory, but this represents the contradictory nature of the Heavenly Dao. On one hand, It needs living beings, needing cultivators to deduce the Great Dao to help It improve.

But on the other hand, if there are too many living beings and cultivators Between Heaven and Earth, it poses a great burden to Heaven and Earth.

One kills, one saves; in such contradictions, a balance is gradually formed, allowing the growth rate of cultivators to slow down.

"Although the Saint of Taiqing has three corpses, he can only mobilize the Evil Corpse and the Self Corpse; if for evil, he cannot mobilize the Good Corpse."
