SACRED BODY OF THE IMMORTALS

Earlier in the Bronze Immortal Palace, when I saw this ancient talisman inscribed with the character "Chaos".

JunXiaoyao had already been wondering if it might be related to the legendary Chaos Emperor.

However, based solely on the character "Chaos," he couldn't confirm that this ancient talisman was related to the Chaos Emperor.

After all, there are many powerful figures with names containing "Chaos."

But now, this ancient talisman actively awakening in this desperate situation undoubtedly confirmed its origin.

It was indeed the Chaos Emperor's defensive imperial weapon, the Chaos Emperor Talisman.

But according to rumors, the Chaos Emperor had two imperial weapons, one for offense and one for defense.

The offensive one was called the Chaos Axe.

The defensive one was precisely this Chaos Emperor Talisman.

"It seems Wang Teng, as the former protagonist of heaven and earth, a child of fortune, might have obtained the complete inheritance of the Chaos Emperor, but now I've intercepted it halfway."

JunXiaoyao couldn't help but feel fortunate.

And at this moment, the reason this half of the Chaos Emperor Talisman was actively triggered.

Was probably due to the current special circumstances.

The Chaos Emperor was unyielding throughout his life.

He fought against heaven, against earth, against fate itself.

While these failures on the imperial path only cursed heaven and earth.

This negative emotion was completely opposite to the will of the Chaos Emperor.

Therefore, it triggered the Chaos Emperor Talisman.

The Chaos Emperor Talisman released immeasurable divine light, illuminating the darkness.

It was as if a majestic figure, wielding a giant axe, wanted to break this endless cycle.

JunXiaoyao's spirits were greatly lifted.

Although with his own willpower, if he fought desperately, he might have been able to escape this cycle.

But now, with the help of the Chaos Emperor Talisman, JunXiaoyao was undoubtedly more at ease.

"Endless resentment is merely the clamor of ants. The path to kingship is inevitably paved with countless corpses."

"You are only fit to become wandering souls and dry bones, cursing heaven and earth, while I, JunXiaoyao, will step over your bones and ascend to that supreme peak!"

JunXiaoyao's consciousness transmitted these cold words.

He had not the slightest compassion for those beings and cultivators who died on the imperial path.

The strong live, the weak die, survival of the fittest - this is the law of the world.

What use is there in blaming heaven and others, complaining about fate?

Each person has their own destiny, predetermined by heaven.

Some are born to be kings, others become bandits.

And JunXiaoyao is destined to be king!

His path is also destined to be paved with endless bones!

"The nineteenth layer of hell, nothing more, break for me!"

JunXiaoyao let out a clear shout, his white clothes fluttering, his long hair dancing wildly.

With the radiance of the Chaos Emperor Talisman, the entire endless cycle was instantly broken!

The darkness before his eyes was torn apart, replaced by a dark red world that resembled hell!

Dry bones, vengeful spirits, ghosts, earth demons, heaven demons, earth demon kings, heaven demon kings were everywhere.

JunXiaoyao held the Primordial Cauldron in one hand and crushed the jade seal with the other.

In an instant, all the shackles on JunXiaoyao's body were completely removed.

He had fifteen minutes to exert his full strength.

"Kill!"

JunXiaoyao pushed the Primordial Cauldron with one hand, like a divine king pushing an ancient star, crushing all obstacles before him.

Actually, compared to the previous cycle of heart tempering.

Dealing with these beings was even easier.

JunXiaoyao exerting his full strength was terrifyingly powerful.

A single beam of divine light could annihilate an entire area.

A single Six Paths Reincarnation Punch could casually destroy an earth demon king.

JunXiaoyao advanced unstoppably, nothing could hinder him.

Finally, JunXiaoyao entered the depths of the nineteenth layer of the Hell Star.

JunXiaoyao discovered that there were countless flames blooming like red lotuses in this place.

"This is... Red Lotus Karma Fire," JunXiaoyao's brows furrowed.

Red Lotus Karma Fire was flame formed from the power of sin and karma.

This fire burned away sins and karmic connections.

How many geniuses had perished on the imperial path?

The resentment of countless geniuses formed vast sins and karma, gathering in this place.

Even supreme beings would tremble upon arriving here.

These sinful karmic forces, once they touched you, were difficult to shake off and would entangle with your own being.

After all, who dares say they are without sin?

And who dares say they are untouched by karma?

At this moment, JunXiaoyao vaguely felt that the supreme bone in his chest seemed to be warming slightly.

Just as he was about to investigate, a mechanical voice sounded in his mind.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for reaching the check-in location, would you like to check in?"

"Check in," JunXiaoyao mentally commanded.

"Ding, congratulations to the host, you have received a seven-star reward, Sinful Immortal Qi!"

As the system's voice faded.

JunXiaoyao clearly perceived that within his body, a dark red stream of immortal qi appeared out of nowhere, carrying endless karmic sin power.

On the surface of the immortal qi, a thin layer of Red Lotus Karma Fire seemed to swirl.

It was indeed Sinful Immortal Qi!

"I already have one stream of immortal qi?" JunXiaoyao was somewhat speechless.

If other geniuses knew about this, they would probably be so angry they'd spit blood.

After all, they had to work hard and invest countless efforts to finally condense one stream of immortal qi.

But now JunXiaoyao had simply checked in once and freely obtained a stream of immortal qi.

This was basically getting it for free.

Counting the Sinful Immortal Qi, JunXiaoyao unknowingly already had five streams of immortal qi.

This was a terrifying number.

"If I could get immortal qi every time I check in, I wouldn't need to bother condensing it myself." JunXiaoyao shook his head slightly.

But he was just joking.

Check-in opportunities were randomly refreshed.

And it was impossible to get immortal qi rewards every time.

This time was an unexpected surprise.

So in the future, JunXiaoyao would still have to honestly condense immortal qi himself.

With the Sinful Immortal Qi condensed, the Red Lotus Karma Fire and sinful power in this place posed even less threat to JunXiaoyao.

JunXiaoyao continued deeper.

Suddenly, he stopped in his tracks.

Because ahead, there was no more path.

Instead, there was a wall.

A wall formed from countless dry bones and flesh merged together, looking horrifyingly creepy.

And in the center of the wall, there was a figure sitting cross-legged.

It was a woman wearing a blood-red dress.

Her black hair was also blood-red, cascading down like a flowing river of blood.

Though her face was beautiful, it was covered with many strange black curse markings.

In her beautiful eyes, blood and fire seemed to flow, burning with endless Red Lotus Karma Fire.

"How long has it been... since someone came to this place."

This strange woman spoke, saying softly.

"You are..." JunXiaoyao's expression remained calm.

"I am the Eternal Tribulation Goddess, in charge of sinful tribulations. In this nineteenth layer of the Hell Star, the living may enter but cannot leave..."

This woman called the Eternal Tribulation Goddess spoke coldly.

The implication was that JunXiaoyao had no chance of leaving alive.

"Oh, you can take this divine son's life?" JunXiaoyao smiled faintly.

He did not sense any irresistible pressure from the Eternal Tribulation Goddess.

Which meant that the Eternal Tribulation Goddess was not one of those top-tier powerhouses.

She seemed more like a spokesperson chosen by the countless resentful spirits of cultivators who had fallen on the imperial path, in charge of sinful tribulations.

"Not even a sage, or even a supreme being, can escape the punishment of sinful tribulations."

The Eternal Tribulation Goddess extended her hand, and the surrounding Red Lotus Karma Fire transformed into entangling fire snakes, rushing toward JunXiaoyao.

Xiaoyao stood in place with his hands behind his back, without any defense, and even revealed a hint of a smile at the corner of his mouth.

On his body's surface, the dark red Sinful Immortal Qi emerged.
