Chapter 556: Six-Winged Heavenly Silkworm

The most abundant thing in the Grand Veiled Heaven was the yin-yang dual qi. These two energies formed a Taiji diagram that stretched across tens of thousands of miles.

Chen Yindu raised the Recreate Heaven-and-Earth Furnace, its mouth facing downward, and urged the immortal furnace, attempting to draw the yin-yang dual qi into it. Unexpectedly, light radiated outward from within the Taiji diagram, actually canceling out the furnace's power, and the Taiji diagram remained completely unmoved.

Seeing this, Creation Little Five joined forces with him to drive the Recreate Heaven-and-Earth Furnace. The artifact's power surged instantly, stirring the yin-yang dual qi within the Taiji diagram, causing it to ripple gently like lotus leaves swaying with the water's waves.

Just as the yin-yang dual qi rose higher and higher, on the verge of breaking free from the Taiji diagram and being drawn into the furnace, the Taiji diagram suddenly transformed. The territory spanning tens of thousands of miles all turned into a Golden Mountain, unimaginably heavy.

Even with Chen Yindu and Creation Little Five working together, they still could not lift this expanse of golden mountain.

Before the immortal palace, all thirty-two dao attendants looked up simultaneously and shouted, "What demons are you? How dare you invade our master's Dao Realm!"

These blue-robed dao attendants soared into the air, brandishing golden banners. Golden energy sprayed forth, slicing toward them like beams of golden rainbows.

The thirty-two dao attendants were like thirty-two immortals, their strength extraordinarily high. Creation Little Five continuously intercepted their attacks, his arms going numb from the shocks, alarm rising in his heart.

With their other hands, the thirty-two dao attendants raised the Book of Life and Death, trying to carve away their lifespans. However, Creation Little Five and Chen Yindu were both immortals, not subject to the Book of Life and Death's jurisdiction. Discovering that the book was useless, the dao attendants immediately urged their golden banners and attacked.

Chen Yindu carried the Recreate Heaven-and-Earth Furnace on his back and charged to meet the thirty-two dao attendants.

These dao attendants were not true dao attendants, but manifestations of the Great Dao's phenomena.

After cultivators entered the immortal realm, things became vastly different from their previous stages. In earlier stages, one typically cultivated the physical body first, then the Primordial Spirit, and then the Dao Field. But upon reaching the immortal realm, one began cultivating their comprehension of Dao techniques.

For example, upon achieving Gold Immortal, one could forge a Dao Realm, within which various Great Dao phenomena would form. These Great Dao phenomena could possess astonishing power.

Chen Yindu charged forward while Creation Little Five stood atop the Recreate Heaven-and-Earth Furnace, attacking the opposing dao attendants. He was at the True Immortal Realm, his cultivation far more profound than these dao attendants'. When the dao attendants took one of his divine abilities, they would be shaken senseless, and immediately Chen Yindu would collect them into the Recreate Heaven-and-Earth Furnace.

Within moments, they had captured all the dao attendants, stuffing them into the furnace to be refined.

Creation Little Five looked down and saw that the thirty-two dao attendants had, in the span of a brief moment, turned into thirty-two azure medicinal pills. Shocked and delighted, he quickly took one out and popped it into his mouth to taste.

Once the medicinal power was refined, the Dao power within his body expanded dramatically, and his cultivation climbed steadily!

"No poison. Dad, you try it."

He took out another azure medicinal pill, sending it to Chen Yindu's lips with his magical power.

Chen Yindu swallowed the pill, and his aura surged. The two descended from the sky, landing before the immortal palace.

"So this is Dao Unification with Heaven and Earth. How magnificent."

Chen Yindu looked at the canopy formed by feathers behind the immortal palace and couldn't help but marvel.

The two walked into the immortal palace. Outside, countless copies of Creation Little Five fed on wind and drank dew, even gnawing the white clouds clean from the sky. Like locusts, they descended upon the golden mountain formed by the Taiji diagram outside, crunching and munching away at it.

However, the Gold Immortal's Dao Realm was simply too vast. At their current pace, it would take them tens of thousands of years to devour the entire mountain range spanning tens of thousands of miles into bare ground.

Chen Yindu and Creation Little Five walked into the immortal palace and saw within it a Gold Immortal seated in lotus position. His face was identical to the Celestial Venerable's, but far younger.

This Gold Immortal slowly opened his eyes, his voice clanging and forceful: "Demons from beyond the heavens, who dare corrupt my doctrines, deserve death!"

This Gold Immortal was none other than the Celestial Venerable's Dao Body.

A Dao Body was formed from the Great Dao of an immortal who had cultivated to a profound realm. It was often used to guard one's own Dao Realm. Some Dao Bodies would also accompany their masters, handling business on their behalf.

To break a Dao Realm, one must first break its Dao Body.

Once the Celestial Venerable's Dao Body was eliminated, destroying the Dao Realm would become much simpler.

Chen Yindu raised the Recreate Heaven-and-Earth Furnace and shouted, "Attack!"

The two drove the Recreate Heaven-and-Earth Furnace, smashing it toward the Celestial Venerable's Dao Body. The immortal furnace's power erupted, shattering the surrounding immortal palace, annihilating the yin-yang dual qi, and howling forward!

"CLANG—"

The Celestial Venerable's Dao Body raised a hand, palm pressing against the Recreate Heaven-and-Earth Furnace. Shockwaves rippled outward in all directions, tossing countless golden mountains like undulating waves, the tremors quickly spreading far away!

The entire Dao Realm seemed to jump.

Chen Yindu's eye twitched. His calculations had all been precise, practically foolproof. But the one thing he hadn't calculated was that the Celestial Venerable's Dao Body would be this powerful!

"There's nothing for it but to go all out!"

Father and son charged forward.

On the Western Ox New Continent, beneath the blood-red clouds, countless strange eyes continued scanning in every direction.

Suddenly, the divine light shot from the eyes in the sky converged on the mulberry tree. On one of its leaves hung a silkworm cocoon, and something inside seemed to be squirming.

Normal silkworm cocoons were tiny, but this one was enormous, over thirty zhang in length.

From within the cocoon, five-colored light occasionally shone through, each gleam like a mirror, circling around the cocoon.

"SWISH—"

A fleshy tentacle flew over, stabbing toward the cocoon, attempting to eradicate the life within. Unexpectedly, before the tentacle even got close, it was as if an invisible blade had swept across it. The tentacle was severed, the cut perfectly smooth.

One tentacle after another howled through the air, swishing as they attacked the cocoon. Around the cocoon, five-colored divine light revolved, and with sharp hissing sounds, it sliced through the tentacles. Not a single one managed to strike the life within.

In the sky, flesh writhed and took the form of the Celestial Venerable's face, complete with eyes and mouth, looking down with surprise: "This treasure's origins are no small matter. How could it appear in a backwater place like the Western Ox New Continent?"

More flesh gathered into a massive hand, condensing billowing Demonic Energy as it slowly approached the mulberry tree.

The five-colored light swirling around the cocoon was suppressed by the overwhelming magical power. It slowed down more and more until finally coming to a halt.

The Celestial Venerable laughed: "A Heavenly Silkworm of this quality, even a Tai Yi Golden Immortal wouldn't possess one. Today, fortune smiles upon me."

He multitasked, presiding over the battlefield at the Palace of Virtue, besieging the Empress of Earth and the gods, while simultaneously battling Wu Qi fiercely, and dealing with the invasion of Chen Yindu and Creation Little Five. Now he had also set his sights on the Heavenly Silkworm.

Just as he was about to seize the cocoon, it suddenly split open. Five-colored light burst forth from within, forcing the massive hand back!

The Celestial Venerable was startled: "This treasure is this strong! Worthy of one raised on mulberry leaves!"

His heart filled with delight, and he grew even more determined to capture this Heavenly Silkworm.

A six-winged celestial moth, like a colorful butterfly, flew out from the cocoon. It was incredibly fast, circling the massive hand several times in the blink of an eye. The five-colored divine light on its body was razor-sharp, severing the hand!

The moth's wingspan was nearly a hundred zhang, utterly colossal. The colors on its body were precisely five in number, like five-colored divine light flowing across its form.

As it flapped its wings in flight, the five-colored light shot out like blades.

But after flying out, the light would actually return, once again settling back onto the moth.

"Worthy of a Heavenly Silkworm!"

The Celestial Venerable grew even more pleased. Countless flesh descended from the sky, surrounding the Heavenly Silkworm on all sides.

The Heavenly Silkworm flew around the mulberry tree, but could never break through the encirclement. Though it severed countless tentacles, even more descended immediately after, forcing it back time and again.

Many fine fleshy tentacles, like silkworm threads, blew in like wind. If even a single strand stuck to its body, it could instantly pierce into the Heavenly Silkworm and take control!

Just as the Heavenly Silkworm seemed doomed, suddenly a Yin-Yang Dao Field erupted, covering a thousand li. Within the Dao Field's range, whether Demonic Energy or demonic miasma, everything suddenly went quiet, stripped of all power. The immensely powerful primordial insect flesh seemed to lose all its strength, becoming limp and soft.

The skeleton Chen Shi stood at the center of the Dao Field. A blade of light slashed through, breaking through layer after layer of flesh with unstoppable momentum, opening an escape route for the Six-Winged Heavenly Silkworm.

The Six-Winged Heavenly Silkworm immediately spread its wings and fled, breaking free from the encirclement.

"Damn you! It's you again!"

In the sky, the Celestial Venerable's face contorted in fury. He drove the primordial insect's limbs, attacking the skeleton Chen Shi and the Six-Winged Heavenly Silkworm!

At the same time, billowing Demonic Energy descended from the heavens, pressing down into Chen Shi's Dao Field, freezing his skeleton body in place, unable to move.

The Six-Winged Heavenly Silkworm flapped its wings, its five-colored divine light blazing brilliantly. Wherever it passed, flesh was severed, and it swiftly arrived beside the skeleton Chen Shi.

"Little Ten, big brother?"

Can'er's surprised voice came through in the skeleton Chen Shi's mind. "How did you end up looking like this?"

The five-colored light swirled around the skeleton Chen Shi, and he immediately felt the pressure ease. He quickly turned and leaped, landing on the Six-Winged Heavenly Silkworm's back, speaking rapidly: "Can'er, let's go, fast!"

The Six-Winged Heavenly Silkworm flapped its wings and flew with incredible speed. Before the Celestial Venerable could block them, the Six-Winged Heavenly Silkworm had already escaped into the distance.

"BUZZZZZ!"

The clouds in the sky were covered with eyes, all opening wide, searching in every direction for the Six-Winged Heavenly Silkworm's whereabouts. Its flight speed grew faster and faster; even if the Celestial Venerable spotted its trace, he had no time to give chase.

Suddenly, the great eyes in the sky focused their divine light on the Sky Measuring Cliff.

Above the Sky Measuring Cliff floated a small, delicate temple. In front of the temple, a purple vine swayed in the wind.

The Celestial Venerable focused his gaze on the purple vine, only to see a colossal entity towering ten thousand zhang into the blue sky. He couldn't help but be shocked: "The Purple Heaven Vine! This treasure has appeared in the Western Ox New Continent as well!"

He looked more carefully and laughed: "I searched high and low with no luck, yet it came to me without effort. Chen Shi, so this is where you've been hiding!"

With a thought, a massive fleshy hand descended from the sky, slamming down toward the small temple!

Suddenly, five-colored light howled through the air, and a Yin-Yang Dao Field erupted. The fleshy hand, containing immeasurable might, suddenly went limp, was severed by the Six-Winged Heavenly Silkworm, and came crashing down from the sky.

The skeleton Chen Shi stood on the Six-Winged Heavenly Silkworm's back, having actually turned back to rescue his true body.

The Celestial Venerable laughed instead of raging: "Chen Shi, you're courting death! Once I eliminate you today and harvest the Six-Winged Heavenly Silkworm and the Purple Heaven Vine, I will become the true Celestial Venerable, no longer a herding shepherd boy!"
