Cultivating Immortality in the Winter Wasteland.

Chapter 778 The Power of the Great Dao
The forbidden area where the Nine-Colored Deer resided was shrouded in demonic energy, devoid of any life force.

The ground was cracked, flames occasionally shot out, and black smoke billowed out, making it look like a very ominous place.

Chen Wang had been there many times, but he was still somewhat apprehensive every time he saw it.

The murderous aura emanating from the nine-colored deer was so intense that he was extremely wary of it.

But this time, after reaching the Integration Stage, Chen Wang came to this desolate place again, and he had some different feelings.

Chen Wang said in surprise, "This place contains the Great Dao of Death; it seems quite a few people have died here."

Previously, Chen Wang had no sense of the special nature of this area; he was simply stunned by the terrifying scene, and even his soul was somewhat suppressed.

But now Chen Wang could feel the path to death within it, which made him feel much more cheerful.

He comprehended the Great Dao of Life and Death, greatly enhancing his cultivation. At this moment, simply standing there exuded an aura of profound stillness and towering grandeur.

Chen Wangsheng roared like a bell: "Nine-Colored Deer, you get the hell out here!"

Previously, Chen Wang had always been suppressed by the Nine-Colored Deer, and he could not overcome its supernatural powers each time.

The Nine-Colored Deer's supernatural power is the Five-Colored Divine Light, which is infinitely changeable and can both attack and defend, making it difficult for Chen Wang to deal with.

As soon as Chen Wang finished speaking, the figure of the nine-colored deer slowly emerged from the thick smoke.

In the darkness, the decaying nine-colored deer hide slowly pulled the rusty imperial carriage out, looking down at Chen Wang with a sidelong glance.

"You human cultivator, haven't you had enough of being beaten yet?"

He was able to suppress Chen Wang every time. The Nine-Colored Deer didn't take this human cultivator seriously at all, but he just thought that this person was like a piece of chewing gum, which was really annoying.

Chen Wang remained calm upon hearing this, his mind surprisingly at peace. He said indifferently, "Times have changed."

Having said that, he took a step forward, and instantly the earth cracked and mountains collapsed.

The Nine-Colored Deer immediately mobilized the Five-Colored Divine Light, which converged in the air into a large axe. The axe blade gleamed with a cold light, and the end of the axe handle had a sharp spearhead, making it look like a deadly weapon.

The giant axe was nearly five hundred feet long. It cleaved down fiercely at Chen Wang, splitting open space in an instant and creating a black crack.

Previously, every time it used this five-colored divine light, Chen Wang was beaten so badly that he could not withstand it for even a moment, no matter how much sword energy he unleashed.

But Chen Wang didn't move at all; he simply raised his hand and caught the divine axe.

This divine axe is five hundred feet long, and its blade is extremely wide, covering several acres in size.

However, Chen Wang remained completely still under the enormous, mountain-like five-colored divine axe, which he caught with a single hand.

A look of surprise appeared in the eyes of the nine-colored deer.

The next moment, Chen Wang tightened his grip slightly.
Click!
The indestructible five-colored divine light was crushed by Chen Wang.

Chen Wang's figure flashed by, and the Nine-Colored Deer lost all trace of him in the next moment.

It turned around abruptly, only to find Chen Wang on the precious carriage it was pulling.

The nine-colored deer said coldly, "Get down here!"

Having said that, the five-colored divine light erupted, like hundreds of flying swords, the sword energy surging out and sweeping away the heavens and earth.

Under the influence of this five-colored divine sword energy, no living being can survive.

But Chen Wang's figure flashed and disappeared in an instant.

The next moment, Chen Wang appeared out of thin air behind the Nine-Colored Deer and threw a punch at it.
It sent the nine-colored deer flying sideways, its hooves carving deep furrows in the ground.

Its skeleton was very sturdy, but its flesh was somewhat decayed. However, after being punched by Chen Wang, the decay on its body became extremely severe.

The nine-colored deer was in unbearable pain. Two cold beams seemed to shoot out from its eyes, and the five-colored divine light instantly transformed into a giant sword.

Moreover, a golden-armored deity appeared behind this giant sword.

This golden-armored deity had a majestic face, with two flowing ribbons wrapped around his body, running from his left arm behind his head and then through his right arm, fluttering in the wind. He looked awe-inspiring, like a celestial being.

At this moment, the golden-armored deity slashed down fiercely with his sword, the force of which was immense.

Every time Chen Wang fought it, he discovered some new skills. The Nine-Colored Deer's development of the Five-Colored Divine Light had reached an outrageous level.

Previously, Chen Wang had found it very difficult to deal with, but now it was different.

At this moment, Chen Wang pointed his fingers like a sword and slashed out with a sword aura.

This sword energy was minuscule compared to the golden-armored deity; it wasn't even worth a thorn.

However, this seemingly insignificant sword energy directly shattered the golden giant sword and the golden-armored deity.

The nine-colored deer was immediately terrified.
"How is that possible! You're already at the Fusion Stage!"

No sooner had the Nine-Colored Deer finished speaking than Chen Wang appeared behind it and slammed down with his palm.
Boom!

The earth was filled with rolling stones and flying sand, and a tremendous force spread outwards, enveloping half of the Demon Realm.

The nine-colored deer was slapped so hard that it fell to its knees.

Chen Wang said calmly, "An immortal touched my head and granted me immortality. If you are willing to submit to me today, I will keep you here. Otherwise, I will beat you to a pulp."

The Nine-Colored Deer was startled by Chen Wang's attack, but it still managed to say with difficulty, "You want me to submit to you? Dream on!"

Chen Wang laughed loudly, then with a slight force, he inserted his five fingers directly into the body of the Nine-Colored Deer. The Nine-Colored Deer immediately let out mournful cries, in great pain.

Chen Wang then activated the Dao of Life and Death. This was the first time he had used the Dao of Life and Death, and he was unaware of its power.

However, even a powerful being like the Nine-Colored Deer, possessing near-fusion combat strength, was directly knocked down by Chen Wang's attack when facing him. Its body convulsed and it was unable to move.

At this moment, Chen Wang had a feeling that he could make it live or die as he wished.

The nine-colored deer, which had been as imposing as a mountain, was now completely unable to cause any trouble in front of him.

Chen Wang's eyes lit up; this Dao of Life and Death was indeed domineering.

Even though Chen Wang has just entered the Integration Realm, he shouldn't be able to easily defeat the Nine-Colored Deer. At most, he can only have a slight advantage, and it will take a hard fight to determine the final outcome.

But this time was different. Chen Wang completely crushed the Nine-Colored Deer with his incomparably powerful Dao.

The nine-colored deer let out a mournful cry, unable to resist any longer.

Chen Wangyun said calmly, "To die or to submit?"

The nine-colored deer quickly said, "I am willing to submit, I am willing to submit!"

The previously aloof and powerful being was now extremely respectful in the face of Chen Wang.

Chen Wang raised an eyebrow, wondering if this guy was a traitor who was biding his time and waiting for revenge.

Just then, the Nine-Colored Deer's head suddenly split open, and a stream of golden blood flew out like a halo, landing in Chen Wang's hand.

The Nine-Colored Deer said, "This is my lifeblood, and I entrust it to you. From now on, your life and death are in your hands."

Chen Wang smiled slightly and said, "I thought you would rather die than submit, why did you change your mind so quickly? I still prefer your previous aloofness."

The nine-colored deer remained silent, but knelt down in submission.

Chen Wang laughed heartily, patted the Nine-Colored Deer's head and said, "You've become sensible. Alright, then I'll accept you as my mount."

The nine-colored deer kowtowed and said, "I am willing to obey your orders, sir."

The once high and mighty beings are now so humble.
Although Chen Wang did not know its intentions, he felt extremely happy to have the Nine-Colored Deer Life-Death Palm in his hand.

The slight frustration of not being able to capture the Nine-Colored Deer has now vanished.

Is there anything more satisfying than having a powerful opponent you couldn't defeat before kneel down and submit?

Sitting on the imperial carriage, Chen Wang said with a smile, "Little Jiu, since you're following me, do your best in the future, and I won't treat you unfairly."

The Nine-Colored Deer hummed in agreement, then turned its head and said, "Master, I have a peculiar curse power on me that I have been unable to dispel. I wonder if you would be willing to help me?"

Chen Wang raised an eyebrow.
"Cursed power?"

The nine-colored deer's fur was rotten, which shouldn't be the case given its strength. Could this be the reason?
After a careful examination, Chen Wang indeed discovered a very special power within the Nine-Colored Deer.

This power is somewhat similar to the immortal energy Chen Wang encountered earlier, but it is slightly inferior. It should be a Daoist technique or supernatural power that has evolved from it.

Chen Wang asked, "Who injured you?"

The Nine-Colored Deer said, "That man claimed to be from the Great Flame Heaven, named Zhou Qingzhan. He looked to be in his thirties and had a pair of golden eyebrows."

Chen Wang had a very deep impression of this person. He raised an eyebrow and said, "Is he from the Great Yan Heaven?"

Chen Wang immediately asked, "When did you meet him?"

The nine-colored deer thought for a moment and said, "Twelve thousand years ago."

Chen Wang raised an eyebrow, thinking to himself, "Were the people of the Great Yan Heaven already in the mortal realm twelve thousand years ago?"

Chen Wang then nodded slightly and said, "Alright, I can help you resolve this."

This curse was extremely powerful. If it were before, Chen Wang wouldn't have dared to touch it at all; the slightest collision would have reduced him to ashes.

But now that Chen Wang has mastered the Dao of Life and Death, he also wants to test its power.

He then activated the Dao of Life and Death, and in a short while, he dissolved the curse power within the Nine-Colored Deer.

This curse was extremely stubborn, like maggots crawling on bones, and even the Nine-Colored Deer couldn't do anything about it, but for Chen Wang, it seemed to be effortless.

The nine-colored deer was filled with astonishment.
"As expected, he is cultivating a high-level Dao."

The Nine-Colored Deer once again expressed its submission: "Thank you for your help, sir."

Chen Wang laughed heartily.

At this moment, the Nine-Colored Deer's body returned to normal, its fur gleamed, and the rotten flesh on its body had disappeared, making it look extremely appealing.

Moreover, the chariot seemed to have been affected by the curse power before. After the nine-colored deer recovered, the rust on the chariot fell off one by one and it was soon brand new.

Clouds rose from beneath the feet of the nine-colored deer, lifting the precious chariot up. It pulled the chariot around in the sky, looking majestic and awe-inspiring.

Chen Wang was also very pleased. Having a powerful being at the Integration Stage pulling his carriage made him very happy and gave him a great sense of accomplishment.

They flew over the Demon Realm with unparalleled arrogance.

"This Dao of Life and Death is indeed extraordinary."

Chen Wang was overjoyed.

Finally, they flew back to the ominous place where the Nine-Colored Deer was.

The Nine-Colored Deer said, "There are countless corpses down here, and many experts have died here. The death aura is thick, which may be useful to you, sir."

As long as it could get out of its previous half-dead state, it would do anything for it, and at this moment it was completely convinced of Chen Wang's abilities.

Chen Wang sensed it and confirmed that it was indeed as the Nine-Colored Deer had said.

He circulated the Dao of Life and Death, and in a short while, the dense Dao of Death in this region boiled over, which Chen Wang refined and absorbed.

At this moment, Chen Wang felt something. After completely refining the Great Dao of Death here, Chen Wang said, "Life and death are in my hands, open!"

In an instant, this ominous land, which occasionally spewed magma and erupted subterranean fire, was transformed.
The vegetation was lush and green, the poisonous fire and black smoke had disappeared, springs had appeared, and many fruit trees had sprung up, exuding a magnificent vitality, just like an oasis in the desert.

The Nine-Colored Deer was shocked: "This is the Great Dao of Creation? No, this is even higher, could it be the legendary Great Dao of Life and Death?"

The previous owner of the Nine-Colored Deer was named Zhong Qiudi, who came from Lingshan.

Mount Ling is located in the Nine Provinces World, which is an extremely powerful immortal world, where an ascension to immortality occurs almost every ten years or so.

The Nine-Colored Deer is not a native creature of the Demon Realm; it only escaped into this realm after being severely injured.

It followed Zhong Qiudi in cultivation. Later, Zhong Qiudi ascended to heaven, and the Nine-Colored Deer remained in the human world, thus gaining some knowledge.

It was extremely shocked by the Great Dao that Chen Wang displayed. This Great Dao was of an extremely high level, and ordinary Great Daos would collapse upon contact with it and would be powerless to resist it.

With a thought, Chen Wang restored the vitality of this world, feeling both joy and a sense of awe.
This Dao of Life and Death was something he had just comprehended. Although he had not yet fully mastered it, it already possessed such power, which made him very satisfied.

"Come with me, I have an enemy I want to kill."

Chen Wang said to the Nine-Colored Deer.

The nine-colored deer said, "An enemy?"

It wasn't surprising to him; someone like Chen Wang, with his style, would be strange if he didn't have a thousand or eight hundred enemies.

The Nine-Colored Deer said, "I will go with the Master again."

Chen Wang said, "That person also seems to be from the Great Flame Heaven, but it is unknown whether he retains consciousness. He is a round-faced young man who looks very kind, but his current state is very strange, neither ghost nor demon."

Nine-Colored Deer recalled for a moment and said, "That person seemed to be traveling with Zhou Qingzhan. He didn't attack me at the time. I remember Zhou Qingzhan calling him Lu Li."

The Nine-Colored Deer had a deep impression of the being in the Great Flame Heaven. Zhou Qingzhan had called Lu Li's name at that time, so it remembered him.

At that time, Lu Li gave Nine-Colored Deer the feeling that he was even more powerful than Zhou Qingzhan.

Chen Wang nodded and said, "Alright, since he's an acquaintance, we should definitely go and meet him."

Chen Wang was ruthless and quick to seek revenge. After achieving his goal, he carefully dealt with the Nine-Colored Deer first, thus settling this score.
Now, with the help of the Nine-Colored Deer, he is about to head to the Dao Ning World mines to have a proper discussion with Lu Li.

The next moment, he and the Nine-Colored Deer disappeared and reappeared in the fifth-order spiritual vein.

To Chen Wang's surprise, the tall figure did not leave but remained crouched there.

"They even know how to camp a corpse?"

Chen Wang raised an eyebrow, his expression becoming more serious.
