Chapter 130: Tribulation Embers, Heavenly Eye

Stardust fell from the nine-layered bronze coffin, and the Chaos Qi at Lu Qingyang's fingertips snaked through Xuanji Old Ancestor's white hair.

The white-haired Old Ancestor's Heavenly Eye in his glabella suddenly inverted, reflecting the jade gourd at the waist of the Celestial Sword Master's phantom: "So you kept Master's drunken immortal brew..."

Before he could finish, Su Meiniang's fox tail had already shattered the stardust, and the golden bell at its tip unleashed the Qingqiu Soul-Snatching Curse.

"That old man's life lamp is on the seventh turn of the star track!" Leng Yuehan suddenly crushed the Guanghan jade pendant on her chest, and ice crystals condensed into a sixty-four trigram plate.

The star map that appeared in the trigrams overlapped with the marriage contract blood lines on Lu Qingyang's back, and the roar of a Yinglong breaking through a barrier came from three hundred li beneath the ice.

Lu Qingyang pulled Leng Yuehan's wide sleeve with a backhand, his fingertips tracing the ice lines on her wrist: "Fairy, your art of deduction is far more interesting than the Hehuan Sect's bone-reading fortune-telling."

As he spoke, he suddenly raised his knee to deflect a pouncing star shuttle, and the Chaos Dragon blood drew the taotie pattern of the heaven severing sword sheath in the Void Realm. "Su Jiejie, it's time to open the old dog's eyes!"

Su Meiniang sneered, flicking out nine Fox Fire, and illusions of Qingqiu's nine great Forbidden Land appeared within the flames.

Xuanji Old Ancestor's white hair suddenly wrapped around the coffin's murals, refining the intimate scenes of the Celestial Sword Master and various women into a love poison: "Junior Brother was addicted to this Dao back then, which is why I extracted his Divine Soul and refined his essence!"

The coffin suddenly flipped, and the women in the murals all opened their starry eyes.

Leng Yuehan's Ice Soul Sword suddenly flew from her hand, its tip piercing the glabella of the Guanghan Palace Master in the mural: "Master... no!"

The moonlight emanating from the sword body actually froze the love poison into ice shards, and Lu Qingyang seized the opportunity to bite his tongue, spraying his vital blood onto the ice shards to refine three thousand Soul-Devouring Nails.

"An eye for an eye!" He flicked his sleeve, throwing the ice nails, and the Chaos Qi entanglement around the tail of the nails transformed into ferocious Dragon heads.

Xuanji Old Ancestor's Heavenly Eye shot out tribulation fire, but it was swallowed when it touched the Dragon heads: "Swallowing Heaven Skill? You dare to Cultivate forbidden arts!"

"Not as much as Old Ancestor refining the seventy-two grotto-heavens into a cauldron." Lu Qingyang suddenly tore open his robe, and the refined grotto-heaven Formation diagram appeared on his chest.

The remnant Divine Soul floating out of the Formation diagram actually merged with the women in the murals, condensing into one hundred twenty-nine thousand six hundred star track chains.

Leng Yuehan suddenly staggered, leaning against the coffin wall, and the silver blood gushing from her Moon Wheel Dao Scar drew a Guanghan totem on the chains: "This is... the core of the Zhou Tian Star Great Formation?"

Before she finished speaking, Su Meiniang's fox tail suddenly pierced her own heart, and the fragments of the Zhao Yao Banner, watered with her vital essence blood, actually completed into the Primordial Demon Court Battle Flag.

Xuanji Old Ancestor's Heavenly Eye suddenly streamed blood tears, and his white hair turned to ashes inch by inch: "So Qingqiu Tomb is the Demon Court's Formation hub!"

He roared, crushing his natal star core, and the shattered star power condensed into a God-Slaying Halberd in his palm: "Even if this Lord destroys..."

"Old dog, do you know what Tribulation Embers are?" Lu Qingyang suddenly leaped into the star track chains, and Chaos Qi ignited into a grey-white flame around him.

Wherever the flame passed, the star chains all disintegrated into brilliant stardust, condensing into a ten-thousand-zhang Heavenly Fox Dharma Body behind him.

Leng Yuehan, enlightened, swung her sword to draw the moonlight, and the phantom of Guanghan Palace appeared in the stardust.

The moment the palace gates opened, Xuanji Old Ancestor suddenly froze on the spot—the thirty-six ice lanterns hanging under the palace eaves were actually of the same origin as the blood pupil on his forehead!

"So the Guanghan Palace Master is your Dao Companion!" Su Meiniang's Fox Fire swept over the ice lanterns, and a bloody scene of Xuanji Old Ancestor gouging out his beloved's eyes appeared in the wicks: "No wonder you wanted to reshape your Heavenly Eye with Little Lord's Chaos blood..."

Lu Qingyang's Dharma Body suddenly opened its mouth and swallowed the stardust, and nine layers of pupils opened in the grey-white flames: "Thank you, Old Ancestor, for three hundred thousand years of nurturing!"

Each pupil reflected Xuanji Old Ancestor's crimes of altering fate, and the last one even showed the scene of Leng Yuehan's Divine Soul being extracted in her previous life.

"No!" Leng Yuehan's Sword Qi ran wild, and the Ice Soul Sword drew the Qi of the Nine Nether Xuanming.

Lu Qingyang suddenly flashed behind her, his hands passing under her armpits to clasp her vital point: "Fairy, if you fall into a demonic state now, wouldn't that benefit the old dog?"

As he spoke, he suddenly bit her earlobe, infusing Chaos Qi: "Why not Cultivate the 'Tribulation Embers Record' with Mr. Lu?"

"Deng Tuzi!" Leng Yuehan elbowed back, but was instead entangled at the waist by Chaos Qi.

Su Meiniang flicked her fox tail to wrap around the God-Slaying Halberd, and the golden bell at the tip vibrated with a soul-snatching demonic sound: "Little girl from Guanghan Palace, if you keep twisting, others will benefit!"

Xuanji Old Ancestor took the opportunity to sacrifice the Zhou Tian Star Cauldron, and the Primordial Xuanhuang Qi gushing from the cauldron's mouth actually reforged the star-dust chains.

Lu Qingyang suddenly pushed Leng Yuehan towards the Mother Qi vortex, while he stepped on Su Meiniang's fox tail and leaped onto the cauldron's ear: "Old dog, look what this is!"

The chaos pearl that appeared in his palm suddenly exploded, and a powerful energy instantly surged out.

To everyone's surprise, what was sealed within this chaos pearl was actually half of the divine weapon spirit of the God-Beating Whip!

The weapon spirit seemed to be suffering immense pain, wailing as it was swept into the starry sky cauldron.

The inscriptions that had originally appeared on the starry sky cauldron suddenly began to reverse, as if revealing a shocking secret: "How is this possible... the weapon spirit of the Zhou Tian Star Cauldron was already..."

"As early as when you gouged out the Guanghan Palace Master's eyes, the weapon spirit fused with her life soul!" Leng Yuehan suddenly seemed to understand something and cried out.

Just then, the ice soul flying out of the Moon Wheel Dao Scar actually overlapped with the phantom of Guanghan Palace in the Mother Qi vortex, as if the two were originally one.

Xuanji Old Ancestor's Heavenly Eye suddenly burst open, and a gush of blood sprayed out, rapidly condensing into an image in the air.

The image showed him devouring the weapon spirit.

Seeing this, Su Meiniang took the opportunity to throw out the Zhao Yao Banner.

The battle flag, swirling with demonic wind, refined the blood into nine Seven-Arrow Nails.

"Little Lord, quickly use these nine Seven-Arrow Nails to shoot his Tanzhong acupoint!" Su Meiniang called out sweetly.

Hearing this, Lu Qingyang immediately activated Chaos Qi, condensing a longbow at his fingertips.

He placed the nine Seven-Arrow Nails on the bowstring, then abruptly let go.

With a buzzing sound from the bowstring, the nine Seven-Arrow Nails shot out like lightning.

However, the moment the arrows left the string, they transformed into nine giant Yinglong, baring their fangs and claws as they pounced towards Xuanji Old Ancestor.

Xuanji Old Ancestor's skeletal Dharma Body suddenly expanded, and the seventy-two grotto-heaven Formation diagram appeared on his chest: "This Lord is the Heavenly Dao!"

The remnant Divine Soul of the grotto-heaven Masters crawling out of the Formation diagram suddenly merged, condensing into a ten-thousand-zhang tall Chaos Demon God.

"This is the moment I've been waiting for!" Lu Qingyang's voice exploded like thunder in this icy world, and he suddenly pulled, his upper garment instantly tearing into pieces, as if the long-suppressed power in his heart had finally found an outlet.

As his upper garment shattered, a dazzling blood-red light erupted from his back – a mysterious marriage contract blood lines, now activated, flying directly into the star track chains like birds returning to their forest.

At the same time, Leng Yuehan and Su Meiniang both let out a muffled groan, and the twin lotus totems on their glabella instantly bloomed with dazzling light, echoing Lu Qingyang's marriage contract blood lines.

In an instant, the essence, Qi, and spirit of the three were tightly fused together through the star track chains, forming an unprecedented connection.

Just then, the Chaos Demon God's colossal palm, covering the sky and sun, descended with world-destroying power.

However, at this critical moment, Lu Qingyang's Heavenly Eye suddenly began to circulate grey-white tribulation fire, which burned fiercely like the karmic fire of Hell, rapidly spreading along the star track chains.

In the blink of an eye, the grey-white tribulation fire, like a prairie fire, enveloped the surrounding three hundred li of ice sea.

This originally bone-chilling ice sea, under the scorching of the tribulation fire, gradually melted, eventually being refined into a Chaos Domain.

"Tribulation Embers Heavenly Eye · Burning Cosmos!" Lu Qingyang roared, and the grey-white tribulation fire seemed to respond to his call, burning even more fiercely, sweeping directly towards the Chaos Demon God.

The moment the flames touched the Chaos Demon God's body, the Demon God's body trembled violently, as if the flames had a fatal effect on him.

And at this moment, the seventy-two grotto-heaven Formation diagram, which had been hidden in the dark, suddenly activated, like a ferocious giant beast, opening its bloody maw and fiercely backlashing its Master.

With a series of crisp cracking sounds, Xuanji Old Ancestor's skeleton Dharma Idol began to crumble inch by inch under the powerful backlash, finally revealing the pulsating blood-red star core at its center.

"No... This one has comprehended Heavenly Dao..." Xuanji Old Ancestor's voice was filled with despair and unwillingness; he seemed unable to believe what was happening before his eyes.

However, before he could finish speaking, Celestial Sword Master's phantom suddenly appeared before him like a ghost, raising a hand and gently pointing. The blood-red star core instantly shattered into countless fragments like fragile glass.

"Senior Brother is mistaken," Celestial Sword Master's voice was cold and merciless. "Chaos never speaks of Heavenly Dao."

As the star core shattered, a faint remnant Divine Soul of Guanghan Palace Master drifted out from the fragments. Surprisingly, this remnant Divine Soul perfectly fused with Leng Yuehan's Moon Wheel Dao Scar, as if they were originally one.

Lu Qingyang suddenly stumbled to his knees, blood tears streaming from his Dharma Eye: "Su Jiejie... quickly sever it..." Before he could finish, Su Meiniang's fox tail had already pierced his Dantian, and the tip of the tail extracted a half-pulsating Dharma Eye: "Little Lord, you've kept such a secret from your concubine!"

Leng Yuehan's Ice Soul Sword suddenly rested against Su Meiniang's neck: "Release the Chaos Dharma Eye!" The sword's reflection showed the Hehuan Sect Mind-Cultivation Technique circulating within Lu Qingyang's Dantian, which originated from the same source as Guanghan Palace's secret texts.

"Wonderful!" Accompanied by this exclamation, Xuanji Old Ancestor's remnant Divine Soul, like a ghost, suddenly emerged from the Zhao Yao Banner. His soul body burned with blood-red star fire, as if he were a malevolent spirit returned from Hell, exuding a chilling aura.

"I never thought that the three Dao Seeds I cultivated would fuse on their own..." Xuanji Old Ancestor's voice echoed in the air, carrying a hint of disbelief and anger. However, before he could finish his sentence, the bronze coffin suddenly emitted a dull sound, and the coffin lid slowly closed, trapping his remnant Divine Soul inside.

The murals on the inner wall of the coffin seemed to come alive, twisting and coiling like venomous snakes, tightly wrapping around the three people inside the coffin. Lu Qingyang endured the intense pain, pressed the Dharma Eye back into his eye socket, and simultaneously mobilized the Chaos Qi within his body, condensing three thousand threads of emotion inside the coffin.

"Old dog, do you know what a Dao Seed is?" Lu Qingyang's voice was cold and authoritative, as if it were a judgment from the depths of the nine netherworlds. The threads of emotion pierced through Xuanji Old Ancestor's remnant Divine Soul like lightning. However, at that very instant, the vengeful spirits of the seventy-two grotto-heavens suddenly let out a mournful scream, like a pack of hungry wolves, fiercely retaliating.

"You are merely a sacrifice for your Tampering with destiny!" The vengeful spirits' roars were deafening, and the entire coffin trembled. At the same time, an earth-shattering Dragon roar came from outside the coffin. An Yinglong, carrying the heaven severing sword sheath, crashed through the barrier like a burning meteor.

Su Meiniang's fox ears suddenly perked up, and she keenly sensed the approaching danger. Her tail-tip golden bell suddenly trembled, emitting a crisp sound. Immediately after, the coffin wall shattered instantly as if struck by a heavy hammer.

"Qingqiu Tomb is collapsing!" Su Meiniang's cry of alarm still echoed in their ears, as nine colossal bronze pillars suddenly rose from the seabed. Soul lamps burned brightly atop the pillars, revealing the entangled past lives of the three.

Leng Yuehan's mind was suddenly struck as if by a heavy hammer, and intense pain assailed him, threatening to tear his head apart. He clutched his head, groaning in agony, but at this moment, the phantom of Guanghan Palace before him began to flicker, and the blurry images gradually became clear.

It was a scene where he personally plunged the Ice Soul Sword into Lu Qingyang's chest, blood splattering, staining the blade of the Ice Soul Sword and Leng Yuehan's eyes. He saw the pain and despair on Lu Qingyang's face, and heard the sound of blood gushing from his mouth, diffusing into the air—a heartbreaking sound.

At the same time, Su Meiniang's Fox Fire also suddenly lost control, burning fiercely. The flames, as if alive, furiously devoured the marriage contract blood lines, as if to completely incinerate it. Within the fire, scenes flashed by—the tragic scene of Su Meiniang gouging out her inner core to save Lu Qingyang in her previous life. Her body trembled in excruciating pain as her inner core was forcibly dug out, and blood gushed out like a spring, staining her clothes.

"So that's how it is..." Leng Yuehan murmured to himself, finally understanding everything. All the Karma was revealed before his eyes at this moment.

And at this moment, Lu Qingyang's Dharma Eye suddenly pierced through time and space, revealing a shocking scene. In that scene, Xuanji Old Ancestor stood in a state of Chaos, holding three Dao Seeds in his hand, which he respectively planted into the Reincarnation of Leng Yuehan, Su Meiniang, and himself.

"This game of chess, it's time for the player to change!" Lu Qingyang's voice echoed in Leng Yuehan's ear, carrying a sense of determination and dominance. He abruptly plunged the heaven severing sword sheath into his heart, and Chaos blood gushed out like a spring, staining the blade of the heaven severing sword sheath.

In an instant, ancient demonic script suddenly appeared on the heaven severing sword sheath. These demonic scripts glowed with mysterious light, as if narrating ancient secrets. At the same time, the bronze pillars on the seabed collapsed in response, emitting an earth-shshattering roar. At the collapse site of the bronze pillars, a ten-thousand-zhang-high altar slowly rose, and at the top of the altar, a chaos pearl floated in the air, exuding a chilling aura.

Leng Yuehan fixed his gaze, only to see that within the chaos pearl, Xuanji Old Ancestor's vital Divine Soul was clearly Sealed.

Lu Qingyang suddenly embraced Leng Yuehan and Su Meiniang at their waists, and Chaos Qi circulated among the three, like a nebula. His voice echoed within the Chaos Qi: "Fairies, would you two be willing to jointly comprehend the Great Dao with Mr. Lu?"

Leng Yuehan's hair stood on end in anger, and the long sword in his hand slashed through the Void Realm like lightning, carrying endless coldness and killing intent, directly striking towards the nebula. However, unexpectedly, the Sword Qi of this strike not only failed to destroy the nebula, but instead, like cutting tofu, easily split open the Seal of the altar.

"Shameless scoundrel!" Leng Yuehan roared, his voice echoing in the Void Realm, as if to attribute the breaking of this Seal to the enemy hidden in the shadows.

At the moment the Seal broke, one hundred twenty-nine thousand six hundred star trails descended like meteors from the sky. At the end of each star trail, a breathtaking scene appeared—Lu Qingyang's combined Cultivate scenes with different women.

Upon seeing this, a trace of surprise flashed in Su Meiniang's beautiful eyes, but she quickly regained her composure. She suddenly bit her red lips, and a mouthful of vital blood shot out like an arrow, accurately landing on the Zhao Yao Banner. The vital blood, as if possessing life, quickly drew an ancient and mysterious Formation on the banner's surface—the Qingqiu Sacrifice Formation.

"Little Lord, your romantic debts are even deeper than the Dragon-devouring Abyss!" Su Meiniang's lips curved into a playful smile, and she fiercely waved the Zhao Yao Banner in her hand, stirring up a powerful force that swept all one hundred twenty-nine thousand six hundred star trails into it.

The moment Su Meiniang successfully ensnared the star trails, a dull heartbeat suddenly came from the depths of Beiming. This sound was like a drumbeat from Hell, shaking the hearts of everyone. And at the same time, the sword sheath that Lu Qingyang had been carrying on his chest also began to tremble slightly, resonating with that heartbeat.

Lu Qingyang's expression changed, and he suddenly covered his Dharma Eye. However, a chaotic stream of blood seeped out from between his fingers.

"Finally..." Lu Qingyang's voice revealed an indescribable madness, and his laughter echoed in the Void Realm, sending shivers down one's spine.

With his laughter, a colossal Chaos Demonic God Dharma Idol slowly appeared behind him. This Dharma Idol was dozens of feet tall, exuding Chaos Qi all around it, making it impossible to look at directly. And what was most shocking was that the eyes of this Chaos Demonic God Dharma Idol were exactly the same as Xuanji Old Ancestor's Dharma Eye!

"Does this Physical Body still meet the Dharma Eye of Beiming zhi Zhu?" Lu Qingyang's voice echoed in the Void Realm, carrying a hint of provocation and disdain.
