Chapter 735 - 415: Scarlet Queen! Control of the World
Accompanied by a scream, the broken body of the Divinity Transformation Cultivator was suddenly confined by an invisible force, and then his body was enveloped by that scarlet radiance.
Even though he exerted all his strength and tried with all his might, he couldn’t struggle out of it. The surroundings seemed to be trapped in glue, helplessly confined there, letting out shrill screams.
The Taiyue Divine Venerable, which Zheng Yi transformed into, still hovered in the center of the Divine Country, surrounded by golden radiance, with the illusory image of the Divine Court behind him, corresponding to the Celestial Realm, Human Realm, and Netherworld.
Endless Incense Power came from the Human Realm, transforming into three gigantic sticks of incense, standing at the end of the void, ethereal blue smoke rising, accentuating the inscrutability of the Taiyue Divine Venerable’s Dharma Aspect.
He sat in the Central Chaos, where Earth, Water, Wind, and Fire evolved around him. Through the pearl curtain of the Heaven-Peace Crown, his gaze penetrated into the depths of the Death Strait, inside a patch of scarlet seawater. Through the intensely rich red light, he saw the scene unfolding. His gaze remained steady, as if everything was within his expectation.
"Finally, couldn’t resist descending?!"
The scope of the Incense Fire Divine Domain Space under the control of the Taiyue Divine Venerable continuously expanded, almost encompassing all the lands and seas of the Doomsday World, where the Netherworld army passed, all opposing forces were leveled.
The remaining various mutated races with intelligence were all subdued, becoming various living beings of the Three Realms and Six Paths.
Innate Deities, each attached to the Taiyue Divine Venerable’s Incense Fire Divine Realm, were born from the World Tree, capturing cities and territories. Almost ninety percent of the land, sea, and air territories in this Doomsday World were already refined, becoming part of the entire Divine Realm.
The Four Continents and Three Seas were all within his grasp.
Only the last area, the Death Strait, remained, a place illuminated by the blood moon in the sky, like a bone-attached maggot, a chronic malady, which had yet to be refined away.
...
...
When Zheng Yi first entered the Doomsday World, he was just a small Qi Cultivation Stage Cultivator but had already sensed the extraordinary nature of this place.
It seemed some formidable power beyond this world was seizing the world’s origin rules, dragging the whole world together towards a fallen abyss.
Later, as Zheng Yi gradually took root in the Doomsday World, establishing his own base, and even evolving the Incense Fire Divine Domain, his realm was constantly elevated, his power surged, ultimately locking onto the blood moon’s light overhead.
This eerie blood-colored moon was indeed the culprit behind the cataclysm in the Doomsday World.
Moreover, all along, the pollution efficiency of the blood moon increased, even permeating the rules of this Celestial Dao, completely corrupting and demonizing the world’s rules by gradually assimilating them.
The blood moon evidently came from a higher realm of consciousness, a powerful entity beyond the Doomsday World, slowly corroding this world, but unfortunately, Zheng Yi’s appearance altered this process.
And by now, Zheng Yi understood more deeply the root of his crossing into the Doomsday World.
It was because of the rebellion of the Gaia Consciousness of this world, unexpectedly locking onto himself who had the crossing attribute, creating an extremely coincidental situation.
The balance rules of the world chose the crosser Zheng Yi because of some mysterious resonance law, he descended into the Doomsday World.
The ignorant origin of the complete world lacked self-awareness, its choice of Zheng Yi was merely following some esoteric rule, yet it inadvertently invited a wolf into the house. Amid the struggle between the Doomsday World’s Celestial Dao rules and the blood moon’s pollution source, as they countered each other, the small ant Zheng Yi seized the opportunity to grow, accompanying his growth by introducing another higher-level cultivation realm’s power.
That is the Incense and Candle Dao.
In fact, to the origin will of the entire world, the Magic Realm evolved by the Incense and Candle Dao is also another kind of blood moon pollution, isn’t it?!
It’s just that compared to the overbearing demonic degeneration and pollution of the blood moon, the expansion of Zheng Yi’s Incense Fire Realm followed the Human Dao rules more subtly and was more difficult to detect.
Replacing the Heavenly Dao with the Human Dao, the Azure Sky had died, and the Yellow Sky would stand, was the chess game secretly arranged by Zheng Yi, and ultimately he succeeded.
Accompanied by the footsteps of human believers spreading across the Doomsday World, the Incense Fire Realm grew, gradually turning into a colossal entity, eventually transforming almost the entire world into a giant Divine Domain.
Zheng Yi’s will also took advantage to replace the Celestial Dao rules, incorporating this entire world into his grasp.
Except for the area of the Death Strait, which received special attention from the blood moon and became the final weak point of the entire Divine Domain, Zheng Yi almost permeated his Incense and Candle Dao throughout the entire world.
And if he could succeed, he could further ride the momentum, ignite Divine Fire, and ascend the divine throne.
Completely transform this world into a Divine Realm uniquely his own.
At that time, it would be like the legendary Palm Buddha Country within Buddha’s palm. The vast Heaven and Earth only rest in his palm of five fingers.
The so-called incense has poison, actually has both positive and negative sides.
On one hand, the power of the Divine Spirit comes from the Power of Belief, from the incense worship.
On the other hand, their greatest weakness is also the foundation of all believers.
But when the Divine Country is successfully evolved, all foundational beliefs actually become accompanying treasures of the Divine Spirit. The illusory god of incense transforms into the god of the world, and the entire world becomes its plaything. Then everything becomes vastly different.
The Divine Spirit and the Incense World complement each other and coexist. The greatest weakness originally becomes its origin, and weakness is no longer a weakness.
At the very least, this weakness is now hidden within, not so easily discovered, opposed, or infiltrated by enemies.
In this regard, the Western Teachings and Buddhist Sect can be considered masters of the art, along with a so-called Divine Court system which has also progressed along the path of incense.
Zheng Yi is currently walking this path, but he is hedging his bets, taking advantage of fortuitous opportunities, with a cultivation body, eliminating karma, and recreating Heaven and Earth.
And by combining the two, merging the Dharma Body and the True Body, Zheng Yi gains the strengths of both, enabling him to overpower all rivals and advance further.
This is the path he has chosen for advancing to the Refining Void stage after his Divinity Transformation Stage.
Of course, to achieve all this, the most critical task for Zheng Yi right now is to encompass the entire Doomsday World within his grasp, thereby completely occupying the world rules and evolving into his own Divine Realm.
The precondition for that is only one thing, which is to remove all rule impurities and corruption, whose ultimate source still points to the Red Moon hanging in the sky.
Its influence on the entire world is far more massive than he imagined, with its immense and inconceivable energy radiating through the world rules, leading all human races towards mutation and degeneration.
If the Red Moon is not expelled, Zheng Yi’s Incense Realm dreams of achieving Great Perfection and evolving the Divine Realm are almost a fantasy.
With the continuous increase of believers, belief power continually strengthens, birthing the terrifying Taiyue Divine Venerable, bringing the Doomsday World into the Divine Realm and establishing an unchallengeable prestige.
Now, the Taiyue Divine Venerable controls over ninety-nine percent of the world, becoming an unstoppable existence, but only the Death Strait remains beyond control, considered the final domain of the Blood Moon.
In this contest, Taiyue Divine Venerable holds an absolute advantage, but the mysterious will of the Blood Moon is unwilling to accept defeat.
Ultimately, the two sides will inevitably confront each other.
Determining who truly possesses ultimate control over the Doomsday World.
Only the descent of the Blood Moon might bring changes, thus completely altering the situation.
Given this, the half body of a Divinity Transformation Cultivator is the bait Zheng Yi intentionally set.
As for whether the Red Moon takes it, that depends on its own choice.
...
Boom!
In the void above, the Blood Moon trembled, waves of eerie red light surging forth, spreading to all surroundings, emitting a tide-like ripple.
A colossal red column of light shot out from the depths of the Death Strait along with the dark red blood light, connecting heaven and earth, while above that broken Divinity Transformation body, purer red light gathered, all descending and enveloping him.
In the Divinity Transformation Cultivator’s incredulous, anguished screams, his remnant soul gradually vanished, as if quietly erased by some invisible force, dying even less than an ant.
The previously lifeless Divinity Transformation flesh began to eerily squirm under the red light.
From the blood-flesh blurred lower torso, bit by bit, new flesh sprouted, much like genetic recombination, rapidly growing into flesh buds, adhering and growing together, gradually forming a complete body, growing into a vague outline.
However, at this moment, although its body surface rapidly recovered, it no longer retained its former appearance, becoming curvaceous and increasingly feminine. Its body surface enveloped in a dense red light, continuously emanating an ominous radiating power.
Amidst eerie red light, atop the vast deep and seemingly blood-red Death Strait, the reformed Divinity Transformation flesh body had completely transformed into a woman in red robes, with pale skin and bizarre, bewitching red hair.
Just like a Scarlet Queen, standing within her crimson sea.
At the moment she appeared between heaven and earth, world rules seemed to reposition, suppressed by some powerful force, almost descending into the abyss.
Zheng Yi’s Taiyue Divine Venerable Dharma Aspect couldn’t help but let out a muffled grunt, and from the massive Divine Celestial Court behind him came the chanting of countless people, with huge power of incense, slowly rising to offset this dreadful pollution radiation.
The reformed Divinity Transformation flesh body’s Scarlet Queen only mechanically turned her head then, revealing a completely emotionless expression on her beautiful, pale, non-human face.
This is the source of pollution causing all things to fall into absolute chaos.
