Chapter 1213: Chapter 458: Communion of Divine Souls with Her Majesty the Consort! The Proper Usage of Chen Mo! (Part 2)

"So that’s how it is..."

Upon seeing this, Chen Mo suddenly understood.

All along, he had been able to draw Dao Power from Her Majesty the Consort through the red silk, which was why his Primordial Qi reserves far exceeded others at the same realm.

And clearly, the Consort had also utilized this point, acting as a "battery," transferring Dao Power into his body... But the question was, how did the Consort’s Divine Soul enter the Sea of Consciousness?

Sensing Chen Mo’s confusion, while suppressing the No Desire Buddha, Yu Youhan explained: "Since the red silk can transmit Dao Power, it can naturally transmit Soul Power as well. My Divine Soul entered the Chaos Dao Domain, following the guidance of the red silk, thus locking onto your position..."

"So, would it be correct to say that you are now in a state where your Divine Soul is out of your body?" Chen Mo frowned upon hearing this, asking, "Where are you right now? What if someone takes advantage of the situation to strike at you?"

"Don’t worry, Ji Hongxiu and Huo Wuya are protecting my path, nothing will happen." Yu Youhan said.

Only then did Chen Mo relax, looking at the young monk, saying: "This guy is an Ancient Emperor from a thousand years ago. His realm is above that of the Ultimate Venerable, not to be underestimated. To be on the safe side, we should leave with everyone first."

Yu Youhan, however, refused, saying: "You must eliminate the root to prevent future troubles. He has already set his sights on you. If we don’t kill him here, there will be greater troubles in the future."

Chen Mo frowned, saying: "But given your current state, I’m afraid you won’t be able to exert your full strength..."

"Don’t worry, I have it under control." Yu Youhan spoke calmly, saying: "You’ve also comprehended the Returning Ruins Law. Your body is extremely compatible with mine, it should be enough to deal with this guy."

With that, Chen Mo didn’t insist any further. He had absolute trust in the Consort, nodded and asked: "How should I cooperate with you?"

Yu Youhan said: "You don’t need to do anything, just completely open your Divine Soul."

"Alright."

Without any hesitation, Chen Mo removed his defenses and completely opened his mind.

Yu Youhan’s Divine Soul transmitted a slight wave, seemingly a bit... shy?

After a brief hesitation, the translucent spirit gradually merged into the Golden Body Miniature.

The two Divine Souls intertwined, at first like thin ice melting into water, appearing a bit clumsy, gradually resembling spring snow melding into a river, the borders of the souls began to blur, like wisps of smoke entwined, becoming indistinguishable from one another.

No extra words were needed, the two merged like water blending with milk, the Soul Power resonated at the same frequency.

All emotions and perceptions were synchronized in this moment. Everything about each other was accepted by the other, far more intimate than physical collision, making Yu Youhan feel an unprecedented shyness.

"Hmm..."

Chen Mo couldn’t help but let out a muffled groan.

Yu Youhan, a bit nervous, asked: "What’s wrong? Is there a mistake?"

"Nothing, just feeling like my Spirit Platform is being completely filled by the Consort, it feels so... full..." Chen Mo spoke with difficulty.

"..."

Yu Youhan silently cursed and said: "My Divine Soul is far stronger than yours, it’s naturally difficult to adapt at first, just bear with it, after all, extreme circumstances call for extreme measures, there’s no better way right now."

"No matter, Consort need not mind, please use my body as you wish." Chen Mo panted and said.

Yu Youhan rolled her eyes, facing an imminent enemy, there was no time for nonsense, she said: "Hand over control of your body to me, and just watch from the side. Just take this opportunity to experience the true power of the Returning Ruins."

Chen Mo nodded, "Alright."

...

...

Boom——

The No Desire Buddha realized something was amiss, began to frantically channel Buddha Power.

His body was enveloped in dazzling Buddha Light, continuously resisting the impact of the green tide, but it was to no avail.

As soon as one touched those green particles, the Buddha Light would completely extinguish, as if it had never existed.

This was the characteristic of the Returning Ruins Origin.

When heaven and earth were first created, there was chaos, there was clarity and turbidity, there was yin and yang, there were Five Elements, and at the same time, there was an extremely special existence: "Void."

Unlike death, it was the end of everything, true nothingness, also one of the most ancient and terrifying forces in the world.

Even the No Desire Buddha, who mastered the Dao of Reincarnation, in a sense had transcended life and death, but once assimilated by the Returning Ruins, he would completely dissolve and disappear... Without even the Origin remaining, how could there be talk of reincarnation and rebirth?

It can even be said that the Returning Ruins is the nemesis of all Ultimate Venerables.

Yet even in the golden age of numerous Heavenly Prides, no one could comprehend this Great Dao.

Not to mention now, with the shackles of heaven and earth deepening, the so-called "Ultimate Venerable" is just half-baked, fundamentally unable to truly touch the Origin, this is also the confidence of the No Desire Buddha.

A thousand years ago, with Zhu Jiuyou, the Daoist Ancestor, and the Human Emperor above him, he was far from being the strongest.

But now these characters have all outlasted themselves, once his strength is fully restored, there will be no rivals in the world, he could establish a truly earthly Buddha Country!

But the current situation far exceeded his expectations!

This was even while possessing someone else’s body, Yu Youhan showcased such terrifying power!

"Is this the Ultimate Venerable?"

"What a joke!"

Boom boom boom——

Under the assault of the azure tides, the Buddha Light grew increasingly dim!

Chen Mo gripped No Desire Buddha’s throat tightly with one hand, his eyes sharp as knives.

"If this is all you have, then you won’t be leaving here alive."

"..."

No Desire Buddha clenched his teeth, realizing this was the greatest crisis he had faced since his resurrection!

Immediately bringing both palms together in front of his chest, he intertwined his index and middle fingers, slightly bent his ring and little fingers, forming the Great Compassion Hand Seal.

"Namo Amidabaya, Tathagataya, amityaya, maharajaya Karunikaaya, om..."

He did not open his mouth, yet the chanting emerged from nowhere, as if countless monks were reciting in unison.

Behind him surfaced a golden flame wheel, from which a pale hand slowly reached out, its nails bearing the swastika symbol, and every line in its palm seemed to hold the birth and death of all things, revolving cycle after cycle.

"It is not a seal, but a borrowed finger pointing at the moon; not a wheel, a false turn demonstrating emptiness."

"Great Compassion for all, boundless mercy light..."

The Buddha hand slowly reached towards Chen Mo.

Carrying no trace of killing intent, only pure compassion.

As if a true Buddha had descended to lead him out of the sea of suffering, beyond the cycle of reincarnation.

"You haven’t transcended yourself, yet dare to proclaim yourself a Buddha? Utterly ridiculous."

Behind Chen Mo, the void was filled with cracks, emitting strands of ethereal light.

A desolate and annihilating aura spread, as if some terrifying entity was about to emerge.

"No matter what you are, the ultimate fate is but one..."

Crack—

The void shattered completely.

That terrifying entity finally revealed its true form.

At its center was an incomparably deep black sphere, akin to a black hole, surrounded by twisted bands of light, emanating a cold and deathly stillness, a mere glance enough to freeze the Divine Soul!

It was Yu Youhan’s Lifebound Magical Artifact—Dao Fall.

In the past, this very object was used to annihilate the Demon Lord in the Desolate Domain.

"This, this is..."

"World Gate?!"

No Desire Buddha’s face was filled with astonishment and incredulity.

Never did he expect that this woman had refined the World Gate leading to the Returning Ruins?!

As an Ancient Emperor who had touched the Tao Origin, his perception could not be wrong. The other end of this black sphere was directly connected to the place of ultimate end, absolute and pure void!

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

Before No Desire Buddha could regain his composure, a massive suction pulled him in, swallowing the Buddha hand and flame wheel whole!

"Die."

Chen Mo raised his hand and waved it lightly, Dao Fall slowly approached.

Feeling the terrifying pressure, No Desire Buddha was immediately terrified and desperate.

Without a moment of hesitation, he forcibly snapped his own throat, breaking free from Chen Mo’s grip.

Simultaneously, his lips moved rapidly, chanting the Rebirth Mantra, causing the scorched earth below to churn, countless corpses crawling out, among them massive demons and Great Powers of the Human Race!

Driving the "army of the dead" to charge at Chen Mo, while he himself fled rapidly, actually planning to escape!

Though unaware of how Yu Youhan achieved possessing from a distance and displaying such terrifying power, under the current circumstances, continuing would be unnecessary.

Even a lucky victory would surely be a pyrrhic one!

Returning to Jiu Zhou, he would not stand a chance against the court’s and the Ultimate Venerables’ sieges!

"First leave this place, survival is paramount!"

"As long as I’m not swallowed by the Returning Ruins, at worst, I’ll reincarnate for a few hundred years and wear her down to death!"

Determined, No Desire Buddha sought the direction of the World Gate.

The next moment, the space before him split into countless pitch-black fissures, like a torn curtain.

Behind each fissure, pairs of azure eyes appeared, surrounding him from all sides, gazing down coldly and mockingly.

"Thinking of running now, isn’t it a bit too late?"
