Obsession was an existence that transcended the spirit and was above the will.
On the road of growth, people would more or less develop some kind of obsession.
Wanting something but not getting it was an obsession.
Regretting something that was lost was an obsession.
Regretting something that was missed was an obsession.
Unable to achieve it, there was still an obsession.
Everyone had an obsession. Because of different experiences and costs, the power of the obsession was also different.
The evil spirit was suppressed here, but the obsession was not destroyed, so the spirit did not dissipate.
Similarly, Megrez, Daozang, Supreme Micro, and Yaoguang, because of their deep obsession, even if their bodies were shattered, their souls devoured, and their will dissipated, they still left behind a trace of obsession to protect the original beauty.
The Divine Palace that stood at the peak of martial arts was destroyed. As the ruler and preacher of the Divine Palace, one could imagine how they felt at that time. How could they be reconciled?
Perhaps it was because of fear, or perhaps the day the evil spirit descended on the Divine Palace brought them too much pain. These obsessions deliberately avoided the trauma, only leaving behind the beautiful memories. According to the will of their lives, they still maintained the operation of the Divine Palace and taught the disciples.
This was the truth!
There was no formation to maintain it, and it was not an illusion created by the evil spirit. Everything was the obsession left behind by Megrez and the others, a self-made dream.
"It sounds unbelievable, right? But the power of the Nirvana Realm is so strong. Even if I devoured their souls and refined them to the point that not even their bones were left, they still relied on a trace of obsession to carve out the Divine Palace in your eyes."
"Of course, although the seven peak masters are dead, the teachings you have received are real. The Emperor's techniques you have learned, the elixirs you have eaten, and the trials you have undergone are all the efforts of these obsessives. They adhered to their duties in life and worked hard to cultivate you. Little did they know that in the end, the disciples they cultivated have all become my nourishment, hahaha …" Shenghua stopped laughing, his eyes flashing fiercely, and said in a strange tone that was composed of countless people, "You are not the first batch of people to enter the Divine Palace. Before this, even I can't remember how many batches of disciples I have refined. Isn't it ironic, hahaha …" His sick laughter resounded through the world, like an evil spirit lingering on Yunyi Peak that would never dissipate. At this moment, Shenghua was insufferably arrogant.
However, this laughter reflected the endless sorrow of Megrez, Daozang, Supreme Micro, and Yaoguang.
Even though their physical bodies had been destroyed, their will had been plundered, and their souls had been refined by the Evil Source, they still remembered the original appearance of the Divine Palace. With this remnant soul that could not be considered a wisp of obsession, they had cultivated generations of disciples.
What hurt him the most was that those disciples that he had trained had now become the source of Shenghua's power. He had refined the Great Path of thousands of cultivators to complete his own Great Path.
At this moment, the disciples of the Seven Peaks were all silent. Even though the eerie Yunyi Peak was filled with the strange laughter of countless evil spirits, and the haze in the sky was like a funeral, the disciples were no longer as afraid as before. Instead, there was an indescribable heaviness in their hearts.
The source of evil was savage, and it was detestable.
As for Tianquan and the others, how could they not be respected? Endless respect emerged in the hearts of every disciple. Even though the seven peak masters had been dead for a long time, the teachings that the disciples had received in the Divine Palace were real.
Whoosh!
A wisp of smoke and dust dissipated into the air.
Many people saw that it was the body of a senior disciple.
Then, there was a loud noise, and the figures of the senior disciples disappeared before everyone's eyes one after another, as if they had never been there. In a moment, except for the elders and the chief disciples of each peak, all the senior disciples of the Seven Peaks from the previous generation had returned to nothingness.
They were the faces in the memories of the seven peak masters. As the sealed memories were unlocked, Tianquan and the others no longer chose to escape. These illusions that relied on obsession no longer existed.
"Who are you?"
Tianquan looked at Shenghua. At this moment, his body also became illusory, as if he would disappear at any time.
However, the emperor's aura that flickered in Tianquan's eyes was more determined and domineering than before.
The Divine Palace was destroyed, and the Yunyi Peak's Formation Source was broken. Back then, there must have been someone who was secretly manipulating it.
But who was this person, and which peak was the problem, Tianquan still did not know.
"Why did you destroy the Formation Source, release the Evil Source, and destroy my Divine Palace?"
Tianquan took a few steps toward Shenghua, and the Nirvana emperor's light around him shone brightly.
"I advise you not to do anything. If you do, your obsession will disappear even faster."
"Answer me."
Tianquan roared, and a destructive storm was brewing in his palm.
"Is it important?"
A smile appeared on Shenghua's face, and he replied with his original voice, "Heaven and earth are not benevolent, and all things are like straw dogs. After Martial Lord, no one stepped into the Divine Path and transcended the cycle of reincarnation, and the Divine Palace lost its meaning of existence.
You are ignorant, how can you understand what the Old Man did? If you want to become a god, you have to gather billions of living beings and refine billions of Paths. From there, you can cultivate a complete Great Path. "
The power of the Heavenly Path reproduced all things. Since that was the case, the power of all things would be gathered into one, and turn into a second Heavenly Path, breaking the shackles and replacing it.
"This is the only way to become a god."
Shenghua said solemnly.
"Lunatic."
"He's a lunatic."
"He wants to become a god and replace the Heavenly Path."
None of the new disciples had ever had such a horrifying thought.
"Lunatic?
That's because you're ignorant. If I replace the Heavenly Path, I'll be the only god in the world. Why can't I recreate the world and establish the orthodox Divine Palace? "
Shenghua roared and pointed at Tianquan's nose from afar. His finger then pointed at the faces of each Peak Venerable, and the blood-red light in his eyes became more and more intense. He looked as if he was starving and wanted to eat everyone. He gnashed his teeth angrily. "But you, not only did you not cooperate with the Old Man, you even dared to stop me. Who can understand the Old Man's good intentions, and who can understand how great what I'm doing is?
Since that's the case, you'll all become nourishment for the Old Man. "
"Kill!"
Tianquan's eyeballs seemed to be about to burst out of their sockets, and he let out a thunderous roar.
"For the Divine Palace."
Buzz! Buzz!
Buzz! Buzz! The bodies of the Elders were surging with golden-white Emperor Qi. Even though their bodies were ethereal and would dissipate at any time, at this moment, the Elders of the Seven Peaks were united, and their Emperor Qi balls surged with an incomparably strong will.
They were destroying evil for the world!
Rumble!
A tornado was born at the peak and stretched between heaven and earth. It was like a violent lightning bolt, causing the earth to tremble and mountains to shake as it crushed toward Shenghua.
"A bunch of trash who can't even be called Obsessions. You want to stop God?
Die! "
Shenghua pointed out with his finger. A strand of evil energy extended outwards, intertwining with the tornado. The seemingly fragile strand of evil energy was actually able to bind the tornado. The evil energy seeped into the tornado, and with a thunderous rumble, the tornado collapsed.
Along with this, the Elders of the Seven Peaks were all dead. They were a bunch of existences who didn't even deserve to be called Obsessions. Perhaps they were just a portion of the power that the seven Peak Venerables had divided.
"With this remnant consciousness, I will shake the Divine Palace and protect my disciple."
Tianquan's roar resounded through heaven and earth. His body gradually grew larger, and his short and weathered body was like a primitive giant standing between heaven and earth. His towering body could contain the sun and the moon. He shouted, "Eastern Sky, take them away."
"With this remnant consciousness, I will shake the Divine Palace!"
"With this remnant consciousness, I will shake the Divine Palace!"
"With this remnant consciousness, I will shake the Divine Palace!"
Buzz … Seven Nirvana Emperor Qi filled heaven and earth, and an incomparably bright brilliance dispelled the haze of Yunyi Peak. The divine radiance shone outside the Divine Palace.
At this moment, Mizar Zhanjun also cast a Dharma body. His mighty body was full of battle spirit, and rays of golden light pierced through his nine major acupoints. He activated the Nine Palaces to fight Dili. He moved forward like a living God of War, holding a halberd in his hand. The halberd pierced through the void, and endless killing light shrouded Shenghua.
With clanging sounds, Yao Guang Deity sat cross-legged in the void. Her flawless face was still as beautiful as an immortal's. The sound of the Great Dao guqin spread out under her palm, and the more she played, the more the Demonic Chaos God turned into a roaring sound that seeped into Shenghua's spiritual consciousness.
Daoist Scripture, Supreme Secret, Xuantian, and even the old Daoist Yunyi, even though they were just a wisp of remnant consciousness, none of them hesitated. They used their Daoist techniques without holding back, just to "protect the safety of their disciples."
Eastern Sky, Chang Yu, Yi Zui, Shenghua, Zhan Xiong, Tian Que, and the chief disciples of the Seven Peaks all moved. Rays of Emperor Light swept everyone up. Dili tore through the space, turning into a speeding meteor that could be seen with the naked eye, rushing out of the Divine Palace.
"Leave?
Do you think you can leave? "
Shenghua raised his palm and clenched the void.
Buzz!
The enchantment that had originally trapped the Divine Palace appeared again. What was different from the previous enchantment was that it was a blood-colored light curtain that shrouded the sky of the Divine Palace. In the light curtain, one could clearly see the bodies of endless evil spirits dancing and laughing shrilly.
Boom! Crack!
The enchantment shrunk and kept shrinking toward Yunyi Peak. Heaven and earth shook, and the void wailed.
Those light balls that flew out were mercilessly repelled once they hit the light curtain of the enchantment. Eastern Sky and the others were like the seven Peak Venerables. They were also existences of remnant consciousnesses. Although they could not use their peak cultivation when they were alive, they still retained a portion of the Great Emperor's power.
Even so, under the enchantment, they could not escape even if they had wings.
Boom!
Haotian's hammer fell from the void, and then it was annihilated by Shenghua's evil power.
Daoist Scripture's will merged with heaven and earth. Emperor Light bloomed around him, and thousands of spells were unleashed. Ice, snow, thunder, and lightning raged, and flames burned the sky. Powerful spells crashed toward Shenghua.
However, once they came into contact with the other party's evil power, they immediately disappeared.
The Longevity Tree was broken, Mizar War Sovereign was sent flying, Perfected Yunyi's array light collapsed, and the Peak Venerables fell one after another.
Weak!
Too weak!
Facing the root of all evil, they had been killed once.
Now, with only a wisp of remnant consciousness left, they were even more powerless to fight back.
"Little Junior Brother, take care."
Eastern Sky smiled and looked at Qin Hao. There were too many emotions in his eyes. He turned around and turned into a stream of light, rushing toward Shenghua. One could vaguely see a Qilin in the stream of light.
At the same time, a gray hemp rope appeared from nowhere and wrapped around Qin Hao's body. Amazingly, when the hemp rope touched his body, it emitted an incomparably brilliant light and turned into an extremely luxurious golden ribbon, protecting Qin Hao firmly.
The golden ribbon exuded a powerful Emperor Qi.
"Senior Brother Chang Yu."
Qin Hao looked at the second figure who left.
The hemp rope was Chang Yu's Dharma Artifact.
Yi Zui, Zhan Xiong, Tian Que, and Shi Mu turned back and rushed toward Shenghua without hesitation.
At the same time, Shi Mu apologized. "Junior Brother Qin, I'm sorry."
