Dominating Martial King-Chapter 1554 - 532: Heavenly Dao Stone Forest

He felt that the ’fluorescence’ converging towards him might not be a bad thing.

However, he was naturally cautious and would not dare to let them penetrate his body until he figured out what this fluorescence was.

Chu Xisheng immediately realized that this was futile; no matter how he tried to evade, it was useless.

Neither Cloud Shadow Instant Body, Time Instant Step, Divine Movement Formless, nor Heaven Slaying Blade were of any avail. The fluorescence still gradually gathered at his brow and seeped into his sea of consciousness, slowly merging with the ’Divine Heart’ within him.

Moments later, as all the fluorescence merged in, Chu Xisheng discovered changes occurring in his ’Divine Heart.’

Divine Heart (Fourth Rank/Gouchen) – Your Divine Heart has perfectly integrated with the residual power of the essence soul of the First Emperor Gouchen. You inherited a portion of the celestial authority of the First Emperor Gouchen, your authority in the ’Ruyi Heavenly Rule’ has been elevated, and your Ruyi Sui Xin Blade can act freely, further twisting the laws of the universe and the Heavenly Rules!

Note 1: The essence soul hidden within your Divine Heart is awakening.

Note 2: You can exchange one Heavenly Origin Point in the Martial Arts Treasure Vault for thirty-two layers of Universe Dominating Martial Intent and thirty-two layers of Capturing Heaven Martial Intent.

Chu Xisheng was slightly startled.

The emperor in this hall was indeed the First Emperor Gouchen!

Chu Xisheng became even more curious about the halls further back.

He had once climbed high and gazed into the distance, and in the dense fog to the north, there were at least seven or even nine halls hidden—he couldn’t clearly see the last two, leaving Chu Xisheng uncertain.

If the Second Hall contained the First Emperor Gouchen, then what figure was concealed within the Third Hall? What about the Fourth?

Could it be the First Emperor Ziwei?

Without hesitation, Chu Xisheng once again used the Time Instant Step, arriving behind the Heavenly Palace, in front of another hall.

He lifted his head and looked up at the plaque above, only to see the words ’Chenji Palace.’

It really was Ziwei—

As this thought just arose in Chu Xisheng’s mind, he felt the universe shifting around him.

This time, his Immortal Wind and Thunder Body couldn’t suppress the surrounding Forbidden Techniques, and he was relocated back to the Han white jade Square.

Meanwhile, in a corner of the Outer Domain Starry Sky, a massive palace complex floated in desolation, vast and majestic, yet dilapidated and dreary, filled with ruins and broken walls.

In the broken left corner of this palace complex, there was a stone forest ten thousand feet long and wide.

In this stone forest stood numerous giant steles, numbering more than three thousand, forming a huge circle.

These steles were divided into six layers, inner and outer, according to their varying heights.

The steles on the outermost edge were the shortest, while those on the inner layers were the tallest.

Strangely, this entire palace complex was eerie and dark, yet only this stone forest was illuminated by nearly all the starlight from the starry sky, making the stone forest radiant with light and shadow.

That was the will of the Star Gods, their Divine Intent keeping a constant watch over this place, their starlight illuminating every corner of the stone forest.

Years ago, ’Yang God’ Tai Hao established ten generations of the Heavenly Court, erecting here three thousand two hundred steles, which were called the ’Heavenly Dao Forest.’

Each stele here represented one kind of Heavenly Rules.

The names of All Gods were displayed on the steles, representing their status, realm, and authority within these Heavenly Rules.

Thus, after the fall of ’Yang God’ Tai Hao, the Heavenly Court he crafted was flattened by Burial Sky and All Gods, but this ’Heavenly Dao Forest’ was preserved, remaining a focal point of attention in the Outer Domain Void, admired by Ten Thousand Gods.

The ’Heavenly Dao Forest’ was mostly calm in nature.

However, on this day, all the starlight shining down from the heavens focused on one giant stele at the center of the stone forest, located on the Fifth Layer.

Many Gods couldn’t help but direct their own will here, whispering among themselves.

"Who is this person? Suddenly appearing, becoming the seventh person of the Ruyi Heavenly Rule, nearly akin to a Ruyi True Spirit."

"The name isn’t displayed on the stele, meaning this person’s blood hasn’t been recorded by the ’Heavenly Dao Forest,’ probably another from the Human Clan, right?"

"It’s undoubtedly someone from the Human Clan! Wasn’t there a Xia Baishi in the Mortal World before? Who, only mastering twenty-five layers of the Ruyi Heavenly Rule, almost became a Ruyi True Spirit."

"Ha, that Lord of Pure has trouble again. Just when he’s put one thing down, another pops up. After his severe injury last time, who knows if he still has the power to descend into the Mortal World?"

"The Ruyi Heavenly Rule was created by Wisdom God Long Xi, it’s a Heavenly Rule passed down through Human Clan generations, making it naturally more compatible with Human Clan’s bloodline. It’s truly challenging for the Lord of Pure to hold onto the Ruyi Heavenly Rule."

"Tsk-tsk, this person’s Ruyi Heavenly Rule is just at twenty layers, yet it’s so favored by the Ruyi Heavenly Rule! If this person doesn’t die, the Lord of Pure, Shen Jingli, may have trouble sitting still."

"If I were the Master Ruyi Qingjing, I would simply switch to cultivating the Invincible Heavenly Rules. The Invincible Heavenly Rules, also created by the Human Clan, now only exist on the Third Section. However, that Creator ’Ziyu’ is not far from falling, giving Shen Jingli an even greater chance to take hold of this path."

Most of the Gods spoke with glee at others’ misfortune, though some Gods were worried.

"Are you still gloating over others’ misfortune? In the times of the East Emperor, how powerful the Ruyi Heavenly Rule was! After the era of the various Heavenly Emperors of the Human Clan, it became one of the world’s Heavenly Rules closest to Pangu’s ’Heaven Creation’ technique."

"Indeed, it is not to be underestimated! The depth of Long Xi’s descendants is incredibly profound. If we are even a little careless, it will give them an opportunity to exploit. The precedent of Burial Sky should serve as a warning we cannot ignore."
