Chapter 555 - 19: Ghost God Ma Mian, Promotion to Impermanence
The Red Dog was lying dormant within Lu Chengfeng’s Tao Embryo, completely unaware of the events happening around it.
Only with the call of Lu Chengfeng did the Black-haired Jiao-tailed Dog awaken from its slumber.
Roar!
Suddenly startled awake, it bared its teeth and roared furiously, flames igniting in its blurry eyes.
Crack!
It opened its mouth to bite...
Lu Chengfeng’s mouth twitched slightly. This creature’s bites are not like any ordinary dog’s; it’s his Lifebound Divine Techniques — Sun-Devouring.
If allowed to bite, it would swallow the Tao Embryo entirely.
With a thought, the Power of Time in the Tao Embryo surged like a waterfall, pouring directly into the Red Dog’s mouth.
Having tasted the sweetness, the initially drowsy Red Dog suddenly widened its eyes, eagerly beginning to devour.
Lu Chengfeng’s Great Sun Tao Embryo had merged with the Gifted Golden Flame and absorbed the power of the Three-Life Golden Lotus, transforming it beyond comparison to its former self.
Not only has its foundation deepened, but the Time Law has become increasingly complete.
Using the Tao Embryo now, Lu Chengfeng felt as if he had connected with the temporal Long River, the sound of rushing water echoing by his ears, his Tao Embryo like a Golden Lotus floating on the river’s surface, drifting endlessly and timelessly.
This was an incredibly profound sensation.
In the past, the Great Sun Divine Techniques could only predict the future, while the Gifted Golden Flame could harness past power through causal links.
When combined, they could transform into the Great Sun Golden Saber, severing an enemy’s future and devouring their past.
The Three-Life Golden Lotus contained the power of past, present, and future, representing the Buddha’s insight into time.
The combination of these three had already caused a revolutionary transformation in Lu Chengfeng’s Lifebound Divine Techniques.
Previously, he hadn’t had the opportunity to explore or sense it thoroughly, but now, feeding the Red Dog with the Power of Time, he immediately detected the changes in the Divine Techniques.
With a single thought, he could connect with the past; with a single thought, he could peer into the future; with a single thought, he could harness past and future power to fortify the present.
Lu Chengfeng’s mind and the Lotus Seed Tao Embryo became one, entirely submerged in that grand temporal Long River, with the so-called Power of Time being nothing but splashes from the crashing tides.
Unknowingly, the vertical mark at his brow radiated brilliant golden light, reminiscent of a third eye, with a Golden Lotus seemingly about to bloom faintly.
Simultaneously, a Three-Pointed Double-Edged Saber emerged from his brow, landing directly in his right hand, the shaft adorned with a coiling Red Dragon, encircled by flames, emanating a misty radiance resonating with the Lotus Seed Tao Embryo, drawing in the Power of Time.
With the Three-Pointed Double-Edged Saber in hand, the vertical mark between Lu Chengfeng’s brows shone brightly, and a Black-haired Jiao-tailed Dog lay at his feet, greedily opening its bloodthirsty maw, devouring the light that cascaded down from his brow.
As time continued to flow, a river appeared around his body, neither entirely tangible nor completely ethereal, the sound of rushing water drowning the Red Dog lying at his feet.
The dog was overjoyed, rolling in the waves, eagerly gulping down the water as if born starving, barking with excitement.
"Hahaha, I didn’t expect your power to have grown so much after just one night’s sleep."
"Not bad, not bad, I can finally have a full meal!"
The Red Dog greedily devoured within the temporal Long River manifested by Lu Chengfeng, the blade of the Three-Pointed Double-Edged Saber also submerged in the river, allowing the shimmering waves to wash over it.
Lu Chengfeng was entirely immersed in the mysterious state, clearly sensing that he could use his Lifebound Divine Techniques to slay enemies in the past, sever their futures, and if he eradicated them, he could strip and refine the achievements and power they had accumulated from past to future.
"In other words, if someone is destined to become a Celestial Venerate in the future, if I slay them, I can strip them of their future achievements, gaining their future power."
"If someone is a reincarnation of a Celestial Venerate’s great power but hasn’t yet grown after reincarnation and I slay them, I can also seize their past power."
"Seeing past and future, seizing past and future power, compared to before, the wonders of the Divine Techniques are not just ten or a hundred times stronger."
Lu Chengfeng’s mind became one with the Tao Embryo, his gaze naturally falling upon the Red Dog, activating his Lifebound Divine Techniques.
The vertical mark at his brow shone with boundless light, a Golden Lotus in the light slowly blooming, the sound of rushing water remaining ever intense.
With the activation of the Divine Techniques, scenes began to appear in his mind, passing by like a revolving lantern at an unimaginable speed.
"This is... the past experiences of the Red Dog..."
Lu Chengfeng saw the Red Dog, wielding that bright long saber, entering Celestial Demon Continent alone, the saber light ravaging, ordinary Celestial Demons perishing to its glint, dispersing into black mist.
He saw the Red Dog engaging in fierce battle against a terrifying Six Desires Celestial Demon-level Demon, the demon transforming into various beasts and birds, taking refuge in the city, sometimes becoming a young woman, sometimes an old hag, sometimes a youth, constantly changing.
Ultimately, that Celestial Demon was severed in two by the Red Dog’s saber before it opened his voracious maw and swallowed it whole.
Undoubtedly, the power displayed by the Red Dog far surpassed the Black Water Profound Origin True Monarch, incomparable to that of an ordinary True Monarch.
