I picked up the scattered attributes

Chapter 0992

Ying Daoyi felt cold sweat pouring down his back.

Although he was extremely unwilling to admit it, the effect of the Heavenly Heart Furnace on him had continued to this day, and even with all his strength, he still could not get rid of that effect.

He possessed a fragile mortal heart!

"Impossible! It's impossible for anyone to have such a high level of cultivation! Absolutely impossible!"

The Lord of Gray Mist shook his head violently, his eyes turning bloodshot as he glared fiercely at Feng Xia: "Do you really think I'm one of those short-sighted fools? A few petty tricks, easily dismantled with a single hand—"

Boom——

One after another, large gray seals blasted out, crushing the figure of Feng Xia that appeared in space and time.

However, soon, more and more winds and summers came, filling all directions, as if his figure was omnipresent from the upper reaches to the lower reaches of the river of time!

The Lord of Gray Mist shattered Feng Xia time and time again. His aura fluctuated more and more violently, his eyes were bloodshot, and endless blood color filled the air. Unbeknownst to him, the sweat beneath him gathered into puddles, like a bright mirror, reflecting his distorted face.

"I...how..."

He glanced at it subconsciously and felt a chill run down his spine: "How did I become like this?!"

The face reflected in the puddle was twisted with rage, a hideous sight, and even bore bloody scratches from his own madness!

In the past, he skillfully manipulated people's hearts and controlled their dark side. Even the most powerful beings, as long as they were intelligent life forms, could be played with by him.

As Feng Xia said, any emotions he previously displayed were merely simulations of the memories of the creatures in the River Styx, while he himself remained unmoved, like an extremely indifferent spectator, coldly observing the ebb and flow of people's hearts.

but--

"Is this...my own fear?"

Fear distorted his face.

He possesses the most powerful strength in the world, and even now, he can completely crush Feng Xia. The Emperor Realm ultimately stands at the highest point of the universe.

Only when facing Feng Xia did he feel immense fear.

A kind of psychological fear.

The center of heaven is a furnace.

The effects of this Dao Heart Divine Power are still present!

It possesses the greatest power in the world, yet has the weakest heart.

"Why--"

"I have proven my Dao through force and control the Heavenly Dao of this world. Why is this mere, backward alien universe in such a state—?"

Despite unleashing its power time and time again, Feng Xia remained steadfast and unyielding. Finally, Ying Dao spat out a mouthful of blood, some of which pierced through the surrounding light and drifted away to who knows where.

Feng Xia frowned. He tried to stop the blood, but his current condition was too special, and he could not move freely.

"Proving the Way through force?"

He shook his head, deciding to continue with the strategy of winning hearts and minds.

Because after possessing a human heart, Ying Daoyi's mental defenses were more fragile than he had imagined!

Recalling Ying Daoyi's previous behavior, Feng Xia couldn't help but have a bold idea.

—The universe that responded to the Dao may not have had any cultivation of the Dao mind!

"Even if there were, they wouldn't be that profound. That's why, after coming to this universe, Ying Daoyi schemed for so many years, even enduring the heavy pressure of the Heavenly Dao, in order to gradually erode the cultivation method of the Dao Heart."

Seeing Ying Daoyi descend into hysteria, Feng Xia's thoughts suddenly stirred again: "On another note, could another way of saying 'proving the Dao through force' be just 'fighting blindly'? If that's the case, it's certainly interesting..."

Without a doubt, Ying Daoyi's power is genuine Emperor-level.

Faced with Ying Daoyi's supernatural powers, Feng Xia had no way to resist.

If it weren't for the Heavenly Dragon Eight-Tone Bell summoning the Heavenly Pattern Ancient Street, and his current ability to control the bell to a certain extent, allowing him to temporarily remain in the River of Time instead of instantly returning to the future, even two hundred more Feng Xias wouldn't be enough to satisfy Dao Yi's slap!

However, in Feng Xia's eyes, Ying Daoyi's supernatural powers were really quite rudimentary.

His ability to manipulate and control people's hearts is less a supernatural power and more a natural talent he possesses as a born deity from the River Styx.

Then came that gray seal move from earlier.

This great seal technique is majestic and powerful, and can be said to perfectly demonstrate the domineering nature of an emperor!

And then... no more.

Ying Daoyi has been fighting for so long, and he only uses this one move over and over again!

A large gray seal, a large gray seal, a large gray seal, a large gray seal…!

In a fit of extreme rage, he smashed out a huge pile of gray seals.

In Feng Xia's view, this was a complete sign of running out of ideas.

"Following this line of reasoning, the universe from which Ying Daoyi came likely had very primitive supernatural powers and methods, simply pursuing power while completely ignoring the power at the level of the Dao heart..."

"Could a mere Lord of the Gray Mist, along with his eighteen companions, destroy the once-thriving Heavenly Pattern Divine Kingdom?"

Feng Xia always felt that there might be some hidden story he was unaware of.

Otherwise, it really wouldn't make sense!

"No, it's probably just that I'm standing on the shoulders of giants, so it's easy for me to talk about things without understanding the pain."

Shaking his head vigorously, Feng Xia's gaze fell on Ying Daoyi: "The power to control the mind is extremely strange, greatly compensating for his deficiencies in his Dao heart. At the same time, the disaster in ancient times broke out suddenly, and the Heavenly Pattern Divine Kingdom was completely unprepared. Yet now I can control the power belonging to the Heavenly Pattern Ancient Street to a certain extent..."

What truly made him invincible was the power of the Heavenly Pattern Ancient Street!

"I want to forge an unparalleled Dao weapon, suppressing all Daos, transcending the past and the future, and eternally reigning supreme over time and space!"

The voice that Feng Xia had heard in the dream of the pig-slaughtering knife spirit years ago has resurfaced in his ears once again.

For a moment, Feng Xia couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion: "Perhaps this Dao weapon has really been successfully forged, a Dao weapon that is unparalleled in heaven and earth, throughout history!"

This divine weapon is none other than the Heavenly Pattern Ancient Street!

"So, once I return to the future, will I be able to actively activate the Heavenly Dragon Eight-Tone Bell to travel to a relatively precise time?"

Feng Xia thought of the mysterious ghost that had led him to Tianwen Ancient Street.

What was the origin of that ghostly figure?

"It's time to end this battle!"

Just as Feng Xia narrowed his eyes, Ying Daoyi's body suddenly trembled, his eyes revealing a mixture of astonishment and ecstasy:

"I can actually sense my real physical body?! Where exactly is this place?"

……

Chapter 0993

"The original body?"

Feng Xia couldn't help but show surprise.

Then, he suddenly realized—

Ying Daoyi's current body is not his original body.

Rather, it was the innate body he condensed using the power of the Styx after arriving in this universe.

His former physical body did not belong to this universe!

His innate body is neither better than his previous physical body; both have their advantages and disadvantages. However, one thing is certain.

Ying Daoyi's former physical body will allow him to better unleash his Emperor-level power!

"Where did his previous physical body come from?"

Feng Xia frowned again, thinking to himself, "Summoning the Ancient Street of Heavenly Patterns with the Heavenly Dragon Eight-Tone Bell allows me to travel through time and space. However, if I only activate a tiny bit of its power, I will be in a state of near-time-space stagnation, just like when I went to the Martial God Tower last time!"

In this present moment, time has almost lost its meaning.

Time may seem to have passed for a very long time, but in reality, perhaps not even a single breath has passed.

He may still be in the time and space of three thousand years ago, or he may have returned to the modern era, or he may be in the more distant ancient times!

"This state is very similar to chaos, where time loses its meaning. Could it be that the Heavenly Pattern Ancient Street is connected to chaos... No, now is not the time to think about these things!"

Seeing Ying Dao's increasingly delighted expression, Feng Xia's unease had reached its peak.

At this moment, he even felt like a villain living in a tokusatsu drama—if he hadn't thought about so many useless things just now, would there have been no unexpected events?

"Boy, although I don't know what you did, I did sense your former physical body!"

Ying Daoyi was greatly encouraged. He suddenly activated his vast and boundless magical power, which caused this space-time to tremble, as if it were about to break free from its frozen state at any moment!

A gray flame suddenly ignited in his eyes.

Countless ages ago, when he attempted to enter this universe, he was struck by a mysterious force. The Heavenly Dao of this universe displayed its power, completely destroying his original physical body!

Then, a wisp of his immortal spirit fell into this universe and transformed into a primordial deity in the River Styx!

"I've sensed it—my former physical body—"
