NOVPUBLong before deciding to use the Heaven’s Decree Secret Order to return to the era of ten thousand years ago, Shen Yuan had contemplated how to protect himself in the Primal Chaos Realm of that ancient time.
After the Great Schism, the powerful experts of the Primal Chaos Realm could not emerge into the world, and Shen Yuan alone, in control of the humanity fate and the Netherworld’s authority, could suppress an entire realm.
However, in the cultivation golden age of ten thousand years ago, Daoist Doyens and True Immortals of the Great Grotto Heavens Blessed Land were emerging in an endless stream, along with Upper Realm Immortals and Netherworld supernatural beings descending into the world. Although Shen Yuan’s power could already be deemed extraordinary, it was nowhere near comparable to these various forces.
Shen Yuan possessed many secrets, and if exposed, he would certainly be attacked by all sides, necessitating consideration of potential dangers.
Beyond this, many of Shen Yuan’s trump cards could hardly be utilized in the era ten thousand years ago.
In this era, the Donghua Emperor still sat supremely above all heavens. Although due to the unique characteristics of this era Shen Yuan had replaced him, the foundation of the Incense Offering Divinity Path laid by the Heavenly Court would not change, and rashly using the Gods Purging Divine Power would inevitably attract the attention of Heavenly Court.
The kingdom of Hell had not yet been divided, and the Netherworld establishments had not been constructed; Shen Yuan, despite having the incorporeal persona of Emperor Fengdu, had nowhere to display his power without the blessing of the Netherworld.
To use the Unimpeded Netherworld Divine Power also entailed taking considerable risks, for in the time ten thousand years ago, Earth Goddess Queen and the Lord of Mount Tai were still in control of the dark Hell.
As for the power of humanity fate, it became useless in the current situation.
Great Yin’s Mortal Emperor had the power of the Great Schism; the Primal Chaos Realm’s bustling human society received worship from all worlds. Under such suppression by the imperial dynasty’s fate, Shen Yuan, despite owning the power of humanity fate, could not mobilize it at all.
A slight misstep would lead to being targeted by Great Yin’s Mortal Emperor, resulting in an encirclement by the Great Yin Imperial Dynasty.
As for Rain Invocation, Nine Breaths Qi Absorption, Rebounding Wind Returning Fire, and Arrows Piercing Voodoo Strawman—these four Great Divine Powers wouldn’t pose any consequences due to their unique nature across all worlds.
But once the Heavenly General Great Divine Power was revealed, it would certainly also beckon the descent of Upper Realm Immortals.
In such a predicament, Shen Yuan contemplated a breakthrough strategy.
After a period of secluded contemplation and meditation, Shen Yuan finally found a solution, which was to break through the Spirit Refining Stage and condense a Sun God Dharma Image!
Ordinary cultivators, when condensing a Sun God Dharma Image, can integrate their own Divine Arts and profound understanding of the Tao into it. The Sun God Dharma Image is essentially an exposition of one’s own cultivation path.
Once completed, it allows the Sun God Dharma Image to have a portion of Divine Skills’ power.
Shen Yuan could refer to the Sun God Dharma Image, integrating his own Heavenly General and Earthly Destroyer Divine Power into it, thus using the Sun God Dharma Image as a medium to exert the power of Divine Skills.
The Divine Skills’ power manifested by the Sun God Dharma Image has a fundamental difference from that of the Heavenly General and Earthly Destroyer Divine Power and will not attract the prying eyes of the Upper World.
Although a part of the Divine Skills’ power is far inferior to the complete Heavenly General and Earthly Destroyer Divine Power, with the boost of numerous Divine Skills, Shen Yuan could fully utilize all his trump cards to the utmost extent.
Shen Yuan could also take advantage of the multiple Divine Skills fused into the Sun God Dharma Image to forge the foundation of his own Great Tao ahead of time.
This feat should have been accomplished right after he had just traveled back ten thousand years ago, but due to the chaos that emerged in the river of history causing him harm, it was delayed for a long period.
Only after resolving the mana turmoil within the Green Ark Immortal City did Shen Yuan start to truly break through the Spirit Refining Stage.
The arrival of the Giant Mountain Divine Venerable briefly interrupted Shen Yuan’s breakthrough, but the state of his realm was already loosening, and he used the Pot’s Heaven Divine Power to draw him out of the Green Ark Immortal City.
It was both to lead the Giant Mountain Divine Venerable away from the Donghuang Domain, creating conditions for his elimination, and also to buy time for the completion of the breakthrough.
With the integration of the Gods Purging Divine Power into the Sun God Dharma Image, the Great Tao Manifestation that Shen Yuan had long planned finally revealed its might at this moment.
With the flow of Yang God Intent, the incense offering magic domain was already completely usurped.
"Impossible! What trick did you use? How could you have possibly seized my incense offering magic domain!"
Shock had already filled the vast face of the Giant Mountain Divine Venerable.
The incense offering magic domain is one of the foundations of the Divine Path; once this world had been transformed by his Incense Offering Divinity Path, it came under his control. Even other Divine Venerables of equal strength could not easily usurp it.
Moreover, from the newly-formed, vague Sun God Dharma Image before him, he felt a presence that compelled worshipful awe.
Even he, a Divine Venerable ordained by the Heavenly Court, felt this way; ordinary Incense Offering Canonical Gods would probably have fallen to their knees in worship upon seeing this Sun God Dharma Image.
"Divine Treasure! He must have a Divine Treasure with him!"
After a brief moment of shock, greed surfaced in the eyes of the Giant Mountain Divine Venerable.
He had been pursuing Shen Yuan to obtain a Time Exotic Treasure associated with the Rebounding Wind Returning Fire Great Divine Power on him.
Now, with the addition of a Divine Treasure, it was an unexpected delight for him.
As for whether Shen Yuan could suppress him using this Divine Treasure, the Giant Mountain Divine Venerable did not consider it at all.
If the gap between two vast realms could be bridged by a single Divine Treasure, that would be a true joke.
Ignoring the incense offering magic domain and Divine Path power forcibly taken from him, the Giant Mountain Divine Venerable directly used his most fundamental Divinity Path ranking.
"Uphold the Mountains!"
Accompanied by the roaring command of a Divine Venerable, a massive amount of Divine Path power in the hands of the Giant Mountain Divine Venerable formed into multiple mountains.
A weight of millions bore down unrestrainedly at this moment, the ground thundered on the barren plains, colossal fissures tearing through thousands of miles, gathering all ley lines into the mass of mountains, crushing down towards Shen Yuan.
The sharply compressed air let out piercing booms, the power of the world surged like towering waves, and the incense offering magic domain deprived of its control crumbled in an instant.
