Chapter 1090: Chapter 1086: Blue Venerable’s Poisonous Plot, Battle of the Dharma Phases

When Shen Mo’s Immortal Tribulation arrives and he finds himself overwhelmed, Lord Blue Venerable will retract this vast net.

At that time, her Nine Tree Dharma Form will manifest, delivering a terrifying power exceeding that of a single ancient tree to the Constellations of Horned Flood Dragon, rooting in the Nine Realms, seizing control over the Stars Circulation Array, and transforming the entire Star Zone into her own Dao field, refining Zhao Lingyin into her Incarnation!

Meanwhile, Shen Mo is already struggling with the Heaven-and-Earth Killing Tribulation, incredibly dangerous, his heart is bound to tremble upon hearing the news of Zhao Lingyin’s fall, adding another layer to his Heart Tribulation on top of the original Immortal Tribulation.

Afterward, Lord Blue Venerable will use Zhao Lingyin’s Incarnation to strike him down; he is more than likely to fall at the hands of Lord Blue Venerable, plunging into eternal perdition!

Shen Mo previously divined, deducing that within the Immortal Tribulation, a significant Killing Tribulation should occur here, which truly has some validity.

Such a scheme is a lucrative move for Lord Blue Venerable.

Even if the plan fails, at most she would lose a portion of her Dharma Form, which is a mere fraction compared to her entire Dharma Form, and this can be re-consolidated within thousands of years; if successful, the benefits would be highly considerable.

Firstly, she can refine Zhao Lingyin into an Incarnation, removing an obstacle in her path to the Eighth Realm, seizing all of Zhao Lingyin’s essence, and increasing her chances of achieving Empyrean.

Secondly, she can effortlessly acquire the Horned Flood Dragon Nine Realms and a formidable extraordinary celestial Formation, establishing a firm foothold within the universe.

Thirdly, she can seize the opportunity to eliminate Shen Mo, a formidable future threat to the leftover evil from the past.

Upon realizing Lord Blue Venerable’s plot, Shen Mo, in addition to his anger, silently warns himself—never to underestimate his opponent under any circumstances.

Especially against ancient monsters like Lord Blue Venerable, who have lived for countless years; being temporarily weak doesn’t mean she is out of tricks, but rather she will focus on a broader, longer-term situation, steering events in a direction favorable to her.

"It’s a pity... I missed the best chance for this Green Wood Spirit Body ascending the Divine Bridge; only after she breaks through the grand Realm in the future and ascends the Formless Realm will I have the confidence to refine her into a perfect Incarnation!" As Yuan Monarch’s Nine Trees Dharma Form rustled its leaves, it conveyed this regretful message.

After changes in the Immortal Path, Lord Blue Venerable is able to channel even more enormous power, yet she’s been hesitant to target Zhao Lingyin.

On one hand, she needs to utilize the Stars Circulation Array to absorb and refine its primal Essence and Qi, allowing her power to further infiltrate the Horned Flood Dragon Nine Realms, as the Nine Realms form the foundation of the big array, she can seize the opportunity to claim control over the Formation.

Otherwise, if she acts prematurely and reveals her intentions, alerting Shen Mo and Zhao Lingyin, even with the Stars Circulation Array suppressing the Seal, manifesting Nine Trees Dharma Form won’t easily allow her to refine Zhao Lingyin into an Incarnation.

On the other hand, she targets Zhao Lingyin to eliminate a future rival in the Dao dispute, while invading all her essence to increase the chances of achieving Empyrean; only when Zhao Lingyin breaks through the grand Realm can she perfect the Incarnation refinement.

Previously, Shen Mo sensed something was amiss and activated the Stars Circulation Array to accelerate the refining, forcing her to act prematurely.

As a result, her various plans developed significant flaws, even though it didn’t completely fail, it couldn’t achieve the expected perfect outcome!

Shen Mo also noticed this aspect; as time progresses, despite the distortive tendencies in Zhao Lingyin’s Dao Body, soul, and Mana, under the suppression of the Stars Circulation Array, the force of pollution and distortion is weakened to the utmost extent; even without Shen Mo using his Essence and Qi to relieve the pressure, helping her remove distortion and pollution, she can rely on her cultivation level to withstand it.

Before long, the various signs of aberrations on Zhao Lingyin began to slowly fade, gradually restoring her normal state.

Her eyelashes quivered slightly, and she opened her eyes, only to find her Soul Body entangled with Shen Mo in an indescribable peculiar state.

Even though the two have been honest with each other as long-time Dao companions, Zhao Lingyin couldn’t help but feel some shyness at this moment, yet she didn’t immediately break away from Shen Mo’s embrace; having benefited greatly from the prior distortion tribulation, she happened to need "The Sutra of Cloudy and Rainy from Wushan" to consolidate her insights and gains.

Thus, she endured the shyness, further released her Soul Body, operated her cultivation method, causing the two’s Dao Bodies, souls, Mana, and thoughts to resonate aggressively!

"I believe my actions this time are flawless, even using Mana to conceal the divine secrets, how did you, young one, discover it?" Yuan Monarch’s Dharma Body transmitted a question.

Shen Mo did not wish to engage in dialogue with her, the Mana within him surged intensely, like a volcano on the verge of eruption.

He attempted to regain mastery over the Stars Circulation Array, suppressing and removing the roots of Yuan Monarch’s Nine Trees Dharma Form;

However, Lord Blue Venerable’s will and power have silently permeated the Horned Flood Dragon Nine Realms for years, already deeply entrenched, and the Nine Realms serve as the Formation’s foundation, despite Shen Mo’s full efforts, it’s challenging to reclaim all authority immediately, with Lord Blue Venerable seizing more than one-tenth of control, preventing him from optimally wielding the big array and achieving its maximum power!

In competing for the Formation’s control, Shen Mo’s Mana poured out like a tide, activating the Thousand Laws Karma Lotus Robe, on which numerous celestial lotus blossoms emitted mysterious light, unleashing celestial charm infused with peculiar power, locking onto Yuan Monarch’s Nine Trees Dharma Form’s aura, attempting to enclose and restrict all Magical Powers on her Dharma Body.
