Chapter 1516: Chapter 1007: Twelve Tao Sin Treasure Wheels_2

It was only a moment before the Primordial Golden Body became semi-transparent, gradually fading from solid to ethereal.

This is the 47th layer of the void, a domain where only those powerful beings in the mid-stage of Primordial could stand firm. Previously, the Primordial Golden Body was at the Primordial stage and just managed to do so.

However, now that his realm had fallen to the Sub-Saint stage, staying here was somewhat forced. If he didn’t leave in time, being etherealized would only be a matter of when.

"It should be coming now!"

Regarding his own situation, Jiang Chen wasn’t in a rush but instead looked up at the sky.

The anomaly of the fall of the Saint of Taiqing had already appeared, so next, the substantial karma resulting from his slaying should descend.

The Innate Saint transformed from the spirit of Pangu, to some extent, the Saint of Taiqing could be regarded as the most honorable figure in the Prehistoric World, with an unparalleled origin.

Thus, the karma gained from killing him would be beyond imagination, perhaps no less than the destruction of the Three Realms.

Originally, Jiang Chen’s target was the Heavenly Venerable of Morality, but upon seeing the Saint of Taiqing, he changed his mind on the spot. How could the mere Heavenly Venerable of Morality compare with the Saint of Taiqing?

Killing the Heavenly Venerable of Morality would indeed result in a great deal of karma, but it might not be enough to perfect the Sin Treasure Wheel. However, the karma from slaying the Saint of Taiqing would undoubtedly suffice.

Heavenly Dao judges people not by strength, but by identity. The power of the Heavenly Venerable of Morality and the Saint of Taiqing may indeed be similar, but their statuses are worlds apart.

Therefore, killing the Saint of Taiqing would yield more karma.

Rumble!

As Jiang Chen’s thoughts settled, Heaven and Earth changed color at this moment, with boundless dark clouds emerging and billions of thunder snakes violently writhing.

And within that thunder, a pair of enormous purple eyes appeared, lofty and exuding endless indifference.

Heavenly Dao itself had descended!

Clearly, the fall of the Saint of Taiqing had deeply agitated It.

After the arrival of Heavenly Dao, there was no excessive action, just an indifferent gaze fixed on Jiang Chen. But at that moment, endless black qi emerged, dark and deep, engulfing Jiang Chen.

This was karma – the power that made countless living beings shudder with fear. Besides Saints, no one could withstand karma. If there’s enough of it, even a Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial could be completely incinerated.

Obviously, Heavenly Dao didn’t take action because It deemed it unnecessary. The vast sea of karma alone was enough to burn this bold blasphemer to ashes.

"Trouble!"

"Absorbing this karma, Jiang Chen’s power will likely become even stronger!"

Unlike Heavenly Dao, the watching Great Divine Transcendents, upon seeing Jiang Chen engulfed by karma, were not pleased but looked even more troubled.

If it were anyone else, being shrouded in such an amount of karma would mean, if not death, then significant injury.

But Jiang Chen was different. By now, almost everyone could see that he cultivated the Sin Treasure Wheel, the Supreme Divine Power of the Demon Ancestor Luo Hou. That overwhelming karma, so frightening to others, was merely a source of strength for him.

At this point, no one would criticize Jiang Chen for practicing the Demonic Way Divine Powers, violating the laws of the Mystic Sect, because it would be meaningless.

Low-level cultivators practicing Demonic Way techniques indeed go against the rules of the Mystic Sect, and once discovered, they would be universally condemned. But for the Mystic Sect’s upper echelon, practicing Demonic Way Divine Powers is a common affair. Even the Taoist Ancestors possess a few Demonic Way Divine Powers.

Having reached their level of cultivation, almost at the pinnacle of the Tao, the only way to advance further is to draw parallels with other systems of cultivation, looking for inspiration.

Certainly, what’s more important is the guile of Demonic Way Divine Powers doesn’t work on them, so they are free to cultivate any Demonic Way Divine Powers.

Cultivators at the lower echelons are different; with their modest strength, they cannot resist the temptation of the Demonic Way, and practicing its techniques could easily lead to their downfall, which is why they’re prohibited from doing so.

Boom～～

When the karmic forces accumulated on Jiang Chen’s body reached a certain level, they suddenly transformed into black flames that burned fiercely, enveloping him in layers.

Jiang Chen originally intended to deploy the Sin Treasure Wheel to devour all of these Karma Fires, but after some thought, he stopped.

Let the Karma Fires burn for a while, for it is said that Karma Fire tempers the Golden Body. It’s the perfect opportunity to use the power of this fire to enhance the potential of his Primordial Golden Body.

This Primordial Golden Body, forged by Qin Shi from the weapons of countless people, is not made from particularly rare materials. It’s not crafted from the most superior Innate Divine Metals or Chaos Divine Stones and the like.

This has resulted in the potential of the body being limited by the materials used; at best, it could reach perfection at the Quasi-Saint level, with no possibility of breaking through to the Primordial level.

The combined strength of twelve Quasi-Saints’ perfect Golden Bodies could already contend with a Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial. Such power was definitely enough to protect the Human Race, and Qin Shi was very satisfied with it.

But Jiang Chen was not satisfied.

In his view, the artifacts capable of protecting the Human Race should have no limits and should be able to grow stronger indefinitely.

Right now, Primordial-level Golden Bodies are indeed sufficient for the Human Race’s needs, as the Daluo Jinxian at the Primordial level are still very rare.

But Jiang Chen knew that the Prehistoric World was about to enter the Era of Elementum, and by then, the Primordial Golden Bodies would no longer be strong enough to protect the Human Race. Qin Shi’s approach was becoming outdated, unable to keep up with this rapidly developing era.

Now that there is an opportunity, Jiang Chen naturally wants to exhaust all methods to enhance the potential of the Primordial Golden Bodies.

These Karma Fires are so fierce that they can burn away the impurities in the Primordial Golden Body, elevating its material by one or two levels, thereby increasing its potential.

First, the power of the Void surged incessantly, and then the pitch-black and profound Karma Fires blazed furiously, with two terrifying forces working on the Primordial Golden Body simultaneously, leading to mysterious changes.

The power of the Void acting on the Primordial Golden Body began to fuse into it, bit by bit, under the tempering of the Karma Fires.

Simultaneously, the Primordial Golden Body shrank, becoming denser, with a radiant golden light swirling around it, emitting an aura of completeness.

Strands of golden light flowed from within it, turning into specks of golden dust. This was the impurity inside the Primordial Golden Body, and while termed as impurities, they were considered rare treasures across the Three Realms.

A single breath from Pangu Great God fell into the Prehistoric World and could transform into Innate Divine Demons. This shows that anything from an exceptional powerhouse is an immeasurable treasure to lower-level cultivators.

The impurities within the Primordial Golden Body are such; their value is no less than Innate Divine Metals, usable as materials for crafting acquired treasures.

"In this way, it can truly be considered one with the Primordial."

After being burned by Karma Fires for nine days and nights, the Primordial Golden Body was finally tempered to its limit. Its stature had shrunk all around, yet it became even more perfect, barely starting to resemble Pangu Great God.

When Qin Shi forged the Golden Bodies, he used millions of types of materials, bestowing the Golden Bodies with an indestructible physique. However, due to the sheer number of materials that could not be perfectly integrated, the potential of the Golden Bodies was greatly limited.

Only now, under the forging of the Karma Fires, these materials fused into one, transforming into Primordial Divine Metal, completing the Golden Bodies and giving them the potential to break through to the Primordial level.

This transformation, due to absorbing the power of the Void, made the Golden Bodies even more powerful, and their previous injuries had already healed. It could be said that they reaped a huge gain.

It was precisely at the moment when the Primordial Golden Bodies reached completion, above Jiang Chen’s head, ten dark Sin Treasure Wheels emerged, spinning ceaselessly and rapidly devouring the Karma Fires on his body.

Buzzing...

With a series of buzzing sounds, the karmic forces on Jiang Chen’s body were emptied all at once, while the ten Sin Treasure Wheels above his head expanded to twelve.

Twelve Sin Treasure Wheels!

This Supreme Divine Power passed down by the Demon Ancestor, had clearly been cultivated by Jiang Chen to complete perfection. With it, he could condense an undestroyable body, capable of withstanding the Immeasurable Star Catastrophe without the slightest harm.

Buzzing...

On the other side, under the influence of the twelve Sin Treasure Wheels, twelve Merit Gold Wheels also emerged in response.
