I Only Marry Widows-Chapter 404 - 70: Today All Your Schemes Will Come to Nothing

"The North Nether Abyss only requires mastering nine spells, whereas the Five-Colored Divine Light needs a total of five Taoist Skills. The gap between the two is truly vast."

"The North Nether Abyss, when cultivated to the extreme, merely aspires to the Dharma Form, while the Five-Colored Divine Light can lead directly to the position of a Celestial Venerate who opens the heavens and the earth. However, in reality, only that Celestial Venerate attained the Dao with it; others can only use it as a means of Divine Techniques, but to base it as one’s fundamental Divine Techniques is to cut off one’s own path."

Lu Chengfeng’s thoughts flashed through his mind as he quietly watched the Hidden Dragon Cave Heaven. "As expected, the Hidden Dragon Cave Heaven itself is indeed the Divine Power Atlas of the Five-Colored Divine Light."

"As long as the five Taoist Skills are practiced to Perfection and the Hidden Dragon Cave Heaven is used as a foundation, the Five-Colored Divine Light can be mastered."

"No rush, continue..."

Lu Chengfeng did not stop and continued to cultivate the other four Taoist Skills while also advancing the North Nether Abyss Divine Techniques at a terrifying speed.

This Divine Techniques also had its own Divine Power Atlas, and under the consumption of enough resources, all nine spells advanced together, starting to rapidly assimilate and absorb.

The golden flame at the center of his brow burned fiercely, with numerous spell runes floating and sinking in the flame, transforming at an unimaginable speed.

On the Cyan Cloud Peak in the Grotto Heaven, Du Mengyan was also cultivating.

Her breakthrough to Celestial Human was extremely smooth, and she had already condensed a Heaven-Reaching Primordial Spirit, with a trace of Destiny Law inherently present in the Primordial Spirit, adding a mysterious aura.

"Du Mengyan very likely is the reincarnation of the Empress..."

The reason Lu Chengfeng kept her by his side was because, in future memories, he saw Du Mengyan had once appeared on Lingxiao Peak, and she also mastered the Destiny Law.

In other words, whether or not he existed, Du Mengyan would inevitably master the Destiny Law.

"Even in the Divine State, very few people practice the Destiny Law. Without sufficient foundation and innate talents, aspiring to touch destiny is like daydreaming. If she is the Empress reincarnated, then it makes sense."

"In future memories, the Yuncang Sword Sect also perished, and she obtained the legacy of the Hidden Dragon Cave Heaven and the Five-Colored Divine Light."

"Ultimately, for the remaining disciples of the Yuncang Sword Sect, she joined forces with Chu Tiange to confront Yi Hongchen... finally dying tragically at the hands of Yi Hongchen, while Chu Tiange, on the brink of death, awakened the Law Form of the Great Emperor, swept through unparalleled, thus following a path that pushed him to the realm of Celestial Emperor of this world."

Lu Chengfeng always kept a part of his mind on Du Mengyan, trying to probe into this woman’s depth, but even with the Power of Time, he still couldn’t perceive any clues.

"I can only deduce the situation for the next three days by using my Lifebound Divine Techniques to foresee the future, and only after Ascension there might be improvements."

"Whether the reincarnation of the Empress is really her remains to be seen."

"Unfortunately, concerning Chu Tiange’s long future memories, only the key trends can be seen; some details are unclear, otherwise, it would not be impossible to confirm the reincarnation of the Empress."

"However, in the long stretch of future memory, I don’t appear at all. The fact that Du Mengyan could appear already indicates she has a certain influence in the Long River of Destiny."

Lu Chengfeng ultimately gave up, withdrew all his mind, and immersed himself in his cultivation.

...

Meanwhile, outside the Central Capital, the battle between Xiang Qingchi and Liu Wu had reached a fever pitch. Both had formed the prototype of Divine Techniques; every action was accompanied by vast Celestial Might.

As the fierce battle broke out, the mountain collapsed and the ground cracked, pieces of city walls crumbled, and the Jade Belt River outside the city was filled with towering waves, unknown how many fishing boats were sunk, causing countless civilians to die miserably amid wails.

However, these two seemed oblivious to the disaster before them, having awakened memories of previous lives, they were extremely indifferent to human life, like inadvertently engulfing ants during a skirmish.

As the battle progressed, Liu Wu’s Nanming Lihuo raged between heaven and earth, vast and mighty, sweeping over a thousand miles.

Xiang Qingchi connected with the Azure Dragon Star Constellation, with starlight containing heaven and earth’s murderous intent, accompanied by a golden whip, striking the Void to shatter and turning everything to ashes.

Both their golden whips and spears collided fiercely, the sound of metal clashing transmitted over kilometers, and ordinary mortals without Martial Arts just had their eardrums pierced by hearing the sound, experiencing splitting headaches and ultimately bleeding from all seven orifices to death.

Within merely a quarter-hour of their battle, the entrance to the city had already become a ruin, with corpses and blood everywhere.

The Jade Belt River outside the city was directly breached, with waters raging unchecked, flooding everything.

Both seemed to have bloodshot eyes, losing all sense of reason.

Despite Liu Wu’s young age, he had fought north and south with a resourcefulness and means far beyond that of ordinary people, and he now commanded the southern court, with the world’s loyalty.

But this heroic figure now resembled a ferocious beast, having lost all reason, reduced to mere frenzied battle instincts and hysterical killing intent towards Xiang Qingchi.

Xiang Qingchi, likewise, wasn’t in better shape, his face full of killing intent, pupils turning a pure cyan, cold and indifferent. The Azure Dragon Star Constellation descended with endless starlight, enveloping his entire body.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

They fought like Demon Gods, with the earth splitting and city walls collapsing, and the battlefield gradually shifted towards inside the Central Capital.

"Oh heavens, what Immortal Gods are battling here? Why ignore the life and death of us common folk?"

"Spare us, Immortal Gods, let us go!"

"Flee, flee quickly, staying here only means waiting for death..."

Whether ordinary civilians, Martial Artists with Martial Arts, or those from various sects and aristocratic families of the Central State’s Celestial Patrol Department, all were fleeing frantically like birds startled by a mere twang of a bow string.
