Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree

The mere influence around him was like a dark undercurrent, or the cold flicker of a snake's tongue, carrying a bone-deep chill that froze the soul, and in an instant, it had tainted the surface of Ji Jingqiu's skin.

Despite the divine light within Ji Jingqiu's physique and the faint glimmers of immortal golden color on his skin, he still felt a touch of coldness.

This force was penetrating his body's defenses, attempting to burrow into his flesh and rot his insides.

Ji Jingqiu was somewhat surprised.

The nature of this power was very high, but most importantly, it gave him a strange sense of familiarity.

Quickly, he recalled where he had encountered a similar power before—

The Black Ring Dead Zone in the Po Suo plane!

He had once harvested dozens of Life Flowers, dealing with this force many times.

["A follower of Eternal Paradise, being able to exchange a few moves with you, is probably a candidate goddess selected by some Divine Vein."]

["This is going all out, seeing how you've bullied the young girl, close the door, let out the fish."]

The lazy commentary from Lady La reached his ears, and in an instant, Ji Jingqiu had an epiphany and knew the source of this power.

He had speculated that the emergence of the Black Ring was the harvesting and erosion of the Po Suo plane, with each Black Ring ultimately blossoming a radiant Life Flower at the expense of all vitality within its range.

When Life Flowers blossomed throughout the Po Suo plane, it would be the day of the plane's complete annihilation.

And now, he knew the origin of this force.

The second of the Wilderness Four Demons, the Demon God rumored to control all powers of Silent Annihilation of death.

If one of Hel's essences was to 'respond and fulfill all sentient beings' beautiful wishes, even in a distorted form'.

Then this one was responding to the beings' longing for "life", all beings still having a lingering fondness for life were Her targets.

The next moment, a bone-chilling coldness interrupted his thoughts.

In a daze, he saw a yellow river, silently flowing towards the desolate and dead end of the endless universe, with countless skeletons strewn beside the river...

The Yellow Springs?

At this moment, a Divine Ring shattered, turning into a torrent of death that opened a door to the Void and summoned a vast expanse of deathly energy to extinguish all vitality.

Shen Mengyou invoked a Forbidden Technique, controlling Divine Powers and striking!

Under the locking of this Divine Power, Ji Jingqiu felt his blood circulation slowing down, his vital energy suppressed.

Just as Shen Mengyou forcefully killed her way to Ji Jingqiu's front—

It seemed as though a deep pool opened at the center of Ji Jingqiu's forehead, leading to another world, and the fleeting glimpse of "hell" behind it made Shen Mengyou's heart skip a beat.

Did he also connect with a certain plane, borrowing the Power of Heaven and Earth from it?

Suddenly.

A black mist slowly emerged from Ji Jingqiu's forehead, though it was actually just an instant. It was the sense of distortion on the mental level that made it seem like a long time had passed.

The black mist suddenly dissipated, as if a corner of the night's curtain was lifted, revealing a ferocious black dragon abruptly thrusting out its head, swallowing the Divine Power unleashed by Shen Mengyou's shattered Divine Ring!

As the pervading sense of death was devoured without a trace, the dark and deep light between the dragon's scales grew more intense.

A high-pitched dragon's roar, resonant and passionate, shook Shen Mengyou's spirit into a loss of defense.

At the same time, a slash of blade light shone in her pupils, jolting her awake.

Even with her timely awareness, she could not avoid it.

With one slash, a Divine Ring was silenced without a trace.

Shen Mengyou's expression changed drastically.

What kind of technique was this?!

In the blink of an eye, only the last of the Triple Divine Rings remained!

Ji Jingqiu did not hesitate to attack again, his eyes sharp as cold lightning, the third strike was forceful and domineering.

Shen Mengyou also unleashed all her techniques, merging the last Divine Ring into her body, hiding the Divine Light within, making her physique nearly match Ji Jingqiu's!

And this was just the beginning, Shen Mengyou clasped her hands together, softly chanting secret phrases, not complicated, but similar to True Words, as if a single word contained tens of thousands of words, invoking the Power of Heaven and Earth in a moment.

The formless tremendous force roiled majestically in the air, surging wildly, shattering everything in front of her! This vеrsiоn is sоurсеd frоm МV3L3МРYR.

The powerful beings watching from the Spirit Realm had subtle changes in their expressions.

This was Divine Arts, essentially the same as Divine Skills, but even more terrifying because behind it stood an immortal Demon God!

Any Divine Arts could compare with, or even be stronger than, the Supreme Divine Powers of the Nine States!

"['All Things Return to Void Skill']!"

Shen Mengyou roared low, willing to sacrifice her Origin to forcibly enhance her physique just to support the casting of Divine Arts.

The formless mighty force surged from all directions like a torrent toward Ji Jingqiu, intending to reduce him to nothingness!

Ji Jingqiu remained unfazed, holding up a Law Domain, pure and self-generated, a bright moon rose from the water's edge, breaking through the opponent's Divine Arts.

His expression was cold, breaking through the constraints, stepping forward with a slash.

At this moment, Shen Mengyou's belief in being invincible was utterly shaken!

She had not expected that even her use of Divine Arts would not move this man!

She was like a conqueror originally prepared to storm and conquer, only to encounter a landslide, her ambitions aborted before they were realized.

Feeling her own wavering, her heart was alarmed, knowing that the person before her was not someone she could contend with, and she must join forces with another companion.

But just then, her body shuddered, remembering the first words of a certain person she had met, an unprecedented feeling of humiliation surged in her heart.

She took a deep look at Ji Jingqiu, no longer hesitating, she turned and walked away.

Watching the woman turning to flee, Ji Jingqiu's expression remained calm, calmly chasing after her, hoping to use her to lure out more fish.
